REJECTING THE 'R-WORD'
Forrest Woods, Wichita sophomore, holds up the "Spread the Word to End the Word" petition poster as Melissa Conrad, Olathe freshman, signs it. Woods and Overland Park sophomore Clint Armstead are volunteering for the Special Olympics and hope to end the use of the word "retreat" because of its potentially offensive nature.

Special Olympics group collects signatures to improve disabilities awareness
BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@kansan.com
Spread the Word to End the Word is an initiative to raise awareness about the stigma surrounding the "r-word" — "retard."
More than 100 students pledged to "Spread the Word to End the Word" Tuesday in front of Wescoe Hall.
Clint Armistead, Overland Park sophomore, is president of the KU chapter of Special Olympics College and director of the event on campus.
"Two hundred million people in this world have an intellectual disability," Arminead said. "This word
offends many, many people and is very harmed."
The goal of Special Olympics International was to have 100,000 people pledge not to use the word on the Web site www.r-word.org.
Armistead said the goal for the University was 5,000 pledges, but it would be difficult to estimate how many students pledged because there was no way to specify student status when pledging on the Web site.
"That's going to be difficult to count," Armistead said. "We put that goal and hopefully we can reach that somehow and try and get an estimation to see if we reached that amount, but it's really unlikely to determine."
Armistead said pledging showed initiative.
"Often times, kids our age in college are told we are going to be the leaders of tomorrow." Armistead said. "We're trying to prove that you can actually be the leaders of today."
Special Olympics International started Special Olympics College during the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Boise, Idaho, in February.
Armistead said Special Olympics College connected high school volunteers involved in Special Olympics with the professional world.
"It's a network of universities worldwide working together to
try and create that next bridge between the high school level, where people tend to volunteer quite frequently and have gotten in connection with Special Olympics into that professional field," Armistead said.
Spread the Word to End the Word was originally proposed by two college students who also started SO College.
Armistead said Special Olympics International liked the idea enough that it decided to host the event, providing T-shirts, posters, stickers, buttons and other materials to Special Olympics College.

"It's similar to the civil rights movement of our day," Armistead said. "It's an opportunity for us to fight for civil liberties."
"It has a pretty big effect on people who are actually mentally handicapped," Schiltz said. "When I hear people say that, it hurts feelings."
Armistead said pictures and video taken in front of Wescoe would be posted on the Special Olympics Web site.
Armistead said the effort had important social significance to him.

Debaters become national champions
BY ADAM SAMSON asamson@kansan.com
A national championship early Tuesday morning was icing on the cake for ljayhawk debaters Nate Johnson and Brett Bricker, who were also recognized by the Cross Examination Debate Association as first-team Academic All-Americans.
In a 4-1 decision, Johnson, Manhattan senior, and Bricker, Wichita senior, routed Wake Forest University, the defending national champion, to become the first pair from Kansas to win the National Debate Tournament championship since 1983.
Ranked second nationally before this week's tournament at the University of Texas-Austin, Johnson and Bricker finished 11-1 in their debates overall. The two competed with 77 other intercollegiate teams. In the final debate, the two argued that eliminating grain subsidies in the United States would reverse anti-Americanism and would help agriculture in developing countries.
The duo's 3-2 decision in their final four match-up against the University of California-Berkeley put them into the final round.
"Everyone in debate realizes you have to be on top of your game." Bricker said. "You never really expect that you're going to win, but you have to have expectations going into the tournament that you can win."
Scott Harris, debate coach and professor of communication studies, said the hard work had paid off.
"Bricker and Johnson are incredible students and incredibly hardworking and deserving of their national championship." Harris said.
Student renters have no say on political signs

The two signs in the yard of Jaclyn Frankenberg, Leawood senior, suggest that she and her roommates support Price Banks and Lance Johnson for the April 7 city commission election. But Frankenberg doesn't know who those people are, or where the signs came from.
"I think I would only take them down if it was something I didn't believe in," Frankenberg said. "People wonder about them but never ask."
Frankenberg said she assumed that her landlord posted the signs and that she didn't know when they would come down. According
to city code, tenants need permission in their leases to post or take down signs in support of city candidates, but landlords can post such advertisements notifying the tenants.

"I think a reasonable thing to say is it's good to talk about this ahead of time," Francisco said. "I would encourage
people to put up signs and then communicate with their landlords and let them know that that's what they've done."
Erica Lathrop, Blair, Neb., senior, said she and her roommates were leaving their house about a month ago when they noticed a stranger posting a sign in their yard. The person asked the property owner's name and claimed he had permission to post the sign.
"Sometimes I wonder what we're supporting." Lathrop said. "I think the only thing that bothered us is whenever we see someone we don't know in a yard, you kind of wonder."
Brian Jimenez, Lawrence code enforcement manager, said he didn't know how the code was enforced and guessed it was passed to try to avoid conflict between ten-

LAWRENCE Commissioners vote on first changes in transit
City commissioners approved last night the first round of recommendations for coordinating the Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels. The main change in the proposal included combining KU routes 24, 31st and Iowa, and 25. Downtown, with city route 8 to make a new route 11.
Tom Braddock, assistant transportation planner for Olson Associates, said the recommendations would be in place by August to accommodate students coming back to the University. He said the changes could be implemented as soon as June or July to work out any problems that may arise because of the new routes.
"I think we have seen a very, very positive response from both KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit system," Bradock said. "Looking forward, I think we can expect to see even more positive response."

1. Identity thieves steal information of 7,000 kids
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The FBI says an identity-theft ring in Puerto Rico stole the personal data of 7,000 children and was selling it to the U.S.
The special agent in charge of Puerto Rico for the FBI says members of the ring broke into dozens of schools in the U.S. island territory to steal birth certificates and Social Security card numbers.
Authorities told reporters Tuesday that some members of the ring were illegal immigrants from the Dominican Republic who sold the data to countrymen seeking to enter the U.S. illegally.

BERLIN — Researchers in Germany have used a modern medical procedure to uncover
a secret within one of ancient Egypt's most treasured artworks — the bust of Nefertiti has two faces.
A team led by Dr. Alexander Huppertz, director of the Imaging Science Institute at Berlin's Charite hospital and medical school, discovered a detailed stone carving that differed from the external stucco face when they performed a CT scan on the bust.
3. China denies reports about computer spy ring
BEIJING — China on Tuesday denied a research report's contention that a China-based computer spy ring stole sensitive information from thousands of hard drives worldwide, calling the accusation a lie meant to feed anxiety over Beijing's growing influence.
"Their attempt to tarnish China with such lies is doomed to failure," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said.

ST. LOUIS — A top children's hospital wants to improve the survival rate of infants born with CDH, or Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. One in 2,000 babies is diagnosed with the birth defect, doctors say. Half of those don't live to their first birthday.
The condition occurs when the diapragm, which separates the chest cavity from the abdomen, does not completely form. The contents of the belly migrate to the chest, which keeps the lungs from developing properly.
Doctors say they hope to better understand predictors of good and bad outcomes for babies with the condition, as well as how to address the many complications that can arise.

LAWRENCE City sales tax increase goes into effect today
The Lawrence sales tax increase approved last November goes into effect today. Sales tax increased from 7.3 percent to 7.85.
"The sales tax approval during tough economic times demonstrates a commitment by the residents to creating a stronger, functional and more sustainable city," Mayor Mike Dever said. "It shows that in the face of adversity, Lawrence is a true community that bands together to create a better place for all of us."
"I think we can anticipate a marked improvement in the condition of the roads, an enhanced ability to serve the community from a fire protection standpoint and a more coordinated and robust public transportation system that will better serve all residents," Dever said.
Coordination efforts between the Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels will also receive funds with the extra revenue from the tax increase.

Dever said he thought the revenue would benefit everyone in the city.

Harris said the championship highlighted the University debate program's tradition by adding to the national titles that came in 1954, 1970, 1976 and 1983.

LECTURE
New technology helps alien search
BY KEVIN HARDY khardy@kansan.com
After traveling to space five times, Steve Hawley, professor of physics and astronomy, has a unique perspective to share with his astronomy students.
"I want to share what I have learned as an astronomer and an astronaut with the students here at KU," Hawley said.
Hawley will share his knowledge of space in his lecture "Wild Astronomy: Black Holes, Dark Matter and the Prospect for Extraterrestrial Life" at 7 p.m. at the natural History Museum.
This semester Hawley is teaching the astronomy course "Quest for Extraterrestrial Life."
Brent Hartley, Olathe senior and a student in the class, said Hawley's class encouraged people from different scientific backgrounds, such as geology, biology and chemistry, to get involved in the field of astronomy. Hartley said the class was an unusual elective.
"It's kind of exciting having someone from a different astronomy background teach," Hartley said. "It's been a very long time since there has been an astronomy elective like the one being taught."
In addition to exploring the possibility of life existing beyond Earth, Hawley's lecture today will discuss how powerful satellite telescopes are helping scientists explore exploding stars, dark matter and dark energy.
Hawley said these new telescopes were fundamentally changing scientists' understanding of the universe, much the way Galileo's telescope did 400 years ago.
Hesaid modern telescopes, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, or HST, were revolutionizing the way scientists viewed the universe. Because these satellite telescopes orbit above the Earth's atmosphere, they have a highly unique combination of superior resolution and sensitivity, Hawley said.
"I think it's fair to say that HST discoveries have caused us to rewrite our astronomy textbooks."
Hartley said modern telescopes and research had shown that the elements necessary for life existed beyond Earth.
"We know that life seems to flourish even under the harshest conditions on Earth," Hartley said, "which gives us great hope to find life or signs of past life in other places other than Earth."
In the search for life beyond Earth, modern telescopes have been able to identify planets around other stars in the Milky Way, Hawley said.
"The conditions that allowed life to form on Earth are probably duplicated elsewhere," Hawley said. "But, that doesn't necessarily mean that intelligent life is common."
Using modern ground and space-based telescopes, Hartley said, scientists were able to identify planets where life could exist or could have existed in
Hartley pointed to the recently launched Kepler Telescope as an example of newer telescopes searching for the possibility of other Earth-like planets.
"We also know that there are many other planets orbiting other stars — other than our sun — and hopefully, we will be able to detect Earth-like planets that have the essentials necessary to harbor life," Hartley said.
the past.
Karen Ohmes, Hutchinson junior and a student in Hawley's class, said it was a privilege to have a professor with hands-on experience working in space. Ohmes said she hoped to one day become an astronaut like Hawley.
"I've always really looked up to him." Ohmes said.
Hawley's lecture is part of the Natural History Museum's monthly Wild Science series. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Panel to discuss Pakistani politics
BY BETSY CUTCLIFF
bcutcliff@kansan.com
The last time Rafu Arif was in Pakistan, in 2007, peace was relatively commonplace.
Arif, Islamabad, Pakistan, graduate student, said that in the two years he had been in the United States, violence had rapidly descended upon his home country and showed no signs of letting up.
"I am afraid to go home," Artf said, "I fear for my family every day."
This afternoon a panel of experts, including Arif, will discuss the situation in Pakistan and some possible solutions to ensure future stability in the region.
Hodgie Bricke, assistant vice provost for International Programs, said the panel was a continuation of previous panels on Pakistan because of how quickly the political situation was unraveling.
"Students need to know what's going on because it will affect everybody in the future," Arif said. "The Middle East can't achieve stability without Pakistan."
The first panel dealt with former military leader Pervez Musharraf and the second with the establishment of the new government.
Bricke said International Programs decided to host a third panel in light of the violence that had been increasing since last year's death of Benazir Bhutto, former prime minister and someone who many Pakistanis thought could bring peace.
President Obama has drafted new policies to help achieve stability in Pakistan, and The New York Times said a special envoy visited both Afghanistan and Pakistan last Friday to solidify relationships with both.
Rose Greaves, retired history professor, said the problem areas were along the northwestern border with Afghanistan. It is a semi-autonomous region ruled by tribal law and largely uncontrolled by the central government. She said its porous borders allowed the area to become a breeding ground for insurgent groups and also made smugglling drugs and weapons easier.
"We are not winning the war against terror in these areas." Arif said.
With President Obama's military focus shifting from Iraq to Afghanistan in the coming months, Bricke said students should be aware of the situation in Pakistan.
"You can't deal with Afghanistan without taking into account Pakistan," she said.
The speed at which Pakistan is descending into chaos was one thing Arif said made him fear for his family. He said that he was afraid of what he would return home to, and that the country would be something he didn't remember.
Greaves will be participating in today's panel and said she hoped to bring light to the history of the country. Greaves has studied Pakistan most of her life and visited at least once a year from 1982 to 1999. She said there were beautiful valleys and places she once visited that she wouldn't dare venture into now.
"Americans especially wouldn't be very welcome along the northwestern frontier because of all the violence." Greaves said.
Along with Greaves and Arif, the panel will consist of military professors from Ft. Leavenworth who will provide perspectives from the military and discuss diplomatic problems.

Neeson completes first movie after wife's death
TORONTO — Liam Neeson has completed work on "Chloe," the film he was shooting when wife Natasha Richardson died after falling on a beginners' slope at a Canadian ski resort.
The actor quietly slipped into Toronto for a couple of days last week to complete work on the thriller, also starring Julianne Moore.
Richardson died March 18 after falling and hitting her head during a ski lesson at Quebec's Mont Tremblant two days earlier.
The Tony-winning actress was buried at a private ceremony in upstate New York on March 22.
A publicist for the Atom Egoyan film "Chloe,"Lisa Ghione, said Neeson completed his scenes on Friday, and the shoot wrapped Saturday.

Cyrus plans return to movies, but not as Hannah Montana

LOS ANGELES — Miley Cyrus plans to be back on the big screen, and soon. Hannah Montana? Not likely.
"We got really lucky with having the material to make one movie," Cyrus said in an interview Monday. The film reveals Hannah Montana's identity to the world in a way Cyrus said was "very clever" and diminishes the chances of a sequel — but doesn't dampen the future of the popular Disney TV show.
So said the 16-year-old tween phenom, whose alter ego brings her secret double life as a pop star to theaters April 10 with "Hannah Montana: The Movie."
"I don't know if I would do another (Hannah Montana) film, but I would love to do another season," said Cyrus, who's signed up for a third and said she was
Cyrus also seemed to agree with the idea of a jump to Hollywood: She's planning to spend the summer working on a film written by "Nights in Rodanthe" and "The Notebook" author Nicholas Sparks. But this is no adaptation of a best-selling romantic novel — instead, Sparks went directly to the screenplay this time, and did so with Cyrus in mind for the part.
interested in a fourth. "That would be what we would all agree on."
Other than the title, "The Last
Song," neither Sparks nor Cyrus are giving away any plot points. But Cyrus hinted at a role that would put her acting chops to the test.
"I've always been lucky to play parts that relate to me, and this doesn't at all," she said. "I have my issues, but not as bad as this chick. So I'm happy to play someone that's just kind of out there and not someone that I'm like."
Like anyone else, Cyrus is waiting to see whether she's "a good actress or not, or if I'm just good at

Another person will stand up and yell "No more bonuses for failure!" Now, point at your friend and yell "Look! ANIG executive!" The patrons of the bar will start cursing and throwing things at your friend, chasing him or her out of the building

Start running. He will try to eat you. (I know, this one may seem a tad impractical. Where are you going to get werewolf serum, especially in this economy? Don't worry. I can hook you up.)
“The Fake Money Ruse”: Even complete strangers can be ripe for a good pranking. Find some realistic-looking fake money (again, I can hook you up) and take it to the store of your choice. Don't bring anything larger than a 201 "Pay" for your things with the “money” and when the cashier says “Have a nice day” or the like, yell “April Fools!” and dash out of the store. (Note: Depending on how much you “spend,” this prank may constitute a felony.)

CULTURE
Just a girl who can't see why other people can't say no
When living in a dorm my freshman year, I rarely spent time in
rarely spent time in my room because my roommate at the time was always watching TV. I studied in a library and spent most weekends at my friends' instead of asking her to turn it off. My English was not fluent and I was worried I would offend her. In Japan, where I grew up, people tend to emphasize harmony and avoid confronting people at any price. When I complained to my mother about the noise in my room, she told me, "Just be patient and keep it in yourself. Don't get in a fight with your roommate."
After I came to the U.S., I observed that, compared with the Japanese, Americans are more straightforward. They're encouraged to voice their concerns to others and face the problem through discussion. Until I understood this different cultural expectation, I struggled when other people tried to correct my behavior. But I gradually learned how to address my complaints to others. When I find a problem, I'll bring it up in a conversation before it becomes a serious problem. I actually like the attitude more because I feel less stressed.

however, I also found that this hesitation to speak out was not restricted to me. Many American students worry about what other people may think of them and particularly seem to have trouble saying no when they are asked a favor.
For example, as a journalism student, I often interview student sources for stories. They are usually willing to help me, and I appreciate that very much. Several people in the past, however, didn't show up to a scheduled interview or answer the phone after we made an appointment. At first I thought they were irresponsible. But I began to think that actually they felt they couldn't have refused my request. People are often busy, and not all of them feel comfortable speaking to a reporter. They might have been sending the signal of reluctance, but I didn't catch it. They may have been "saying no" but were unable to say it explicitly.
At the same time, we all need to be sensitive about what other people may feel dissatisfied with. For example, in the environment in which I grew up in japan, people are often expected to "read the atmosphere," which means to guess and sense what other people are thinking, instead of verbally expressing. This can be stressful and create more miscommunication. But it's not a bad idea to be considerate of others and pay attention to small signals that people may send.
Finally, we should also be open-minded about what other people tell us. Even if somebody complains to us, or refuses to offer help, we shouldn't take it personally. What we could do is ask constructive questions and tell what we think, which should bring more fruitful results.
expressing concerns or showing unwillingness to offer help will make us look bad or create tension with other people. The way to avoid this, however, is through good verbal communication. If we find a problem with others, we should say so with a reason, which helps avoid misunderstanding.

Legalization of marijuana not on Obama's agenda
BYMATTHEW CHRIST University of Florida Independent Florida Alligator
Stoners everywhere have been getting mixed signals lately thanks to the Obama administration's stance on legalizing marijuana. Last week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Mexico for her first diplomatic tour of the country that has been rocked by more than 7,300 deaths in the Mexican government's war on drugs. Clinton alluded to a change in U.S. drug policy after conceding that America's voracious appetite for drugs only fueled the problem.
Not so fast, said President Barack Obama when answering an online question during a town hall forum last week. Legalizing marijuana is off the table in his administration.
It really is silly, the pot question, to be brought up during this time of crisis. But if there's ever been a time to re-examine our war on drugs, Mexico's growing drug problem and our burgeoning prison bills couldn't be stronger signs that the time for some introspection is upon us.
The classical argument against legalizing marijuana doesn't focus on the drug itself but rather the supposed slippery slope the legalization would promote. How could the government legalize one drug but ignore the others?
Florida's Medical Examiners Commission released a report last year that found prescription drugs had claimed three times as many lives as all illegal drugs combined in 2007—a statistic Rush Limbaugh and middle-aged conservative women with back problems aren't helping. The same report found that marijuana use had caused zero deaths in the state.
I cannot condone smoking pot. The recreational user is most likely to inhale some amount of smoke, which can't be beneficial to any person's lungs. It is inconceivable, want to, to condone the criminalization of marijuana when it has fostered the very drug culture from which anti-marijuana activists derive their arguments. Want to talk about a gateway drug? Ask your friendly neighborhood drug dealer what he thinks about free samples of crack cocaine. Worried about gun battles over drug deals gone wrong? No need for exceptional violence when you can simply pick up some weed from your local convenience store.
The total money raked in through taxes could go toward education programs for students, as similar tobacco and alcohol programs have shown success in curbing use of these products in recent years among teenagers. The industry created by legalization could put thousands back to work and would take away much of the power enjoyed by cartels and other unsavory figures of our government-perpetuated drug culture.
are not big out of sight the others.
For many, the answer is paradoxically clear. Alcohol, a drug that claims thousands, if not millions of addicts, and kills more than 70,000 people per year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, is perfectly legal for adults 21 and up. There are currently more than 40 million Americans who smoke, all of whom will only burden our health care system years down the road.
Once marijuana is taken off the forbidden shelf, our inner Adam and Eve complex won't fall to temptation — creating an environment where marijuana use declines.

Era of Irresponsibility

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I don't think there has ever been a president who has whined and lied so much about the problems his predecessor left him. President Barack "they left me$1.3 trillion annual budget deficit" Obama apparently hasn't heard of "the buck stops here." To begin with, the $1.3 trillion figure is woefully deceptive. The 2009 budget, the one Obama's referencing.
The Panic of 1893, post-WWI recession, Great Depression: America has experienced its share of economic downturns but has always recovered. The difference is we've never intentionally spent ourselves into bankruptcy. The New Deal era saw unprecedented governmental expansion that plunged the country into a prolonged depression that necessitated over a decade of misery and a world war to remedy. Our current smorgasbord of entitlement programs now threatens to push us beyond the point of recovery, and our representatives in Washington have only added to the laundry list.
not only includes his massive bailouts, but happens on his timetable. Nevertheless, he intends the masses to think that Bush steadily increased the annual deficit to its 2009 level, and that Obama is the fiscal warrior fighting to "spend responsibly." In reality, before the sub-prime mortgage crisis hit in 2008, Bush's deficits were rapidly decreasing (down to $160.7 billion in 2007). Additionally, the year before that, the Democrats assumed Congressional power. Yet Obama still demonizes the conservatives.
What is his plan? In this cult of personality, most couldn't tell you. He claims to be able to save $2 trillion annually, but most of these savings are due to Iraqi troop withdrawals, which would have happened anyway. The rest are in the form of tax cuts, which should never be considered "savings." Should he serve two terms, Obama will most assuredly almost triple our national debt. This "new era of responsibility" is quickly becoming a misnomer.

KU Cauldron student to give Wicca lecture
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
Jeremy Adkison wants to help fellow students understand Wicca. He's the vice president of KU Cauldron and is giving a lecture and presentation tonight called "Wicca: The Religion of Witchcraft."
Adkison, Leavenworth sophomore, said that one of his greatest passions was Wicca, and that he wanted to show students what the pagan religion was really about.
Q: What got you interested in Wicca?
A: I was first introduced to vixca when I was 13 years old. The belief in polytheism spoke to me. There are trillions of galaxies in the universe, so I wanted something a little more durable than monotheism.
Q: Tell me about KU Cauldron.
A: The KU Cauldron is a non-religious group. It is a metaphysical and pagan discussion group that meets every Wednesday in the Kansas Union at 8 p.m. in Alcove E. We do celebrate the pagan and Celtic holidays but in a non-religious specific format.
Q: What made you want to put on this presentation?
A: Of course I want to educate the populace about something that is still misunderstood, confused with Christianity and Satan worship. There are many people on campus that have heard about Wicca and witchcraft, would like to actually know something more about it, but haven't had a hands-on opportunity outside of the Internet and books to learn yet.
**What:** "Wicaa: The Religion of Witchcraft!" lecture, presentation and question-and-answer session
**Who:** Jeremy Adkison, vice president of KU Cauldron
**When:** Tonight at 8
**Where:** Alcove E at the Kansas Union
**Cost:** Free
Q: Why do you think students should be interested in Wicca?
terested in learning about things that interest them. I heard about a pagan presentation in Topeka where Christians came and heckled the pagans, and eventually the pagans were told to leave. I thought it was sad, and people should understand how benign pagan religions really are.
Q: Tell me a little more about Wicca.
A: I think students should be in-
A: I define Wicca as a pagan religion and a nature-based religion that traces its conception to pre-Christian European Reconstructionism. It is polytheistic and duotheistic. At the basic core we believe in a supreme god and goddess. Wicca is tied to magic and witchcraft in the form of ritual and other work. Typically Wiccans will cast spells, cast magic circles to do magic and worship; we also tend to do divination. There is a belief in reincarnation, a belief that the actions we put out into the world will manifest and return to us; reap what you sow.
Q: What do your friends and family think of you practicing Wicca?
A: My friends don't care. It doesn't bother them. My family doesn't talk about it, and I don't think they really care either.

Dieticians say students could eat more lean meat to avoid health problems
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
Ann Chapman, registered dietician at the Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that although there wasn't an ideal amount of any food in any diet, people needed to be conscious of how much meat
lhendrick@kansan.com
they ate.
The National Cancer Institute conducted the decade-long study using 545,000 men and women between 50 and 71 years of age. During the 10-year study, 71,252 people, or 13 percent, died.
College students who enjoy red meat may want to reconsider ordering a hamburger or steak after recent studies conducted by the National Cancer Institute.
A new study released by the Archives of Internal Medicine on March 23 found that Americans with red-meat-rich diets decreased their life spans and put themselves at risk for heart disease and various forms of cancer.
"Young adults should realize the eating habits they have now will contribute to either higher risk for heart disease and cancer due to their amount of meat consumption." Chapman said.
"I balance it out with vegetables," Louis said. "But the first thing I'll eat is meat."

She said eating habits developed in college often carried over to students' post-college lives.
Chapman said small amounts of lean red meat were beneficial in diets and provided essential minerals such as iron and zinc. She also said that meats were good sources of vitamin B and protein, but that brisket, hamburgers and rib-eve
Dantes Louis, Wichita junior,
said he ate meat four to five times

As the food manager for Stephenson Scholarship Hall, Louis said, he tried to make meat a regular component of meals.
steaks generally had undesirably high fat contents.
The current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends 5.5 ounces of protein every day, including legumes, eggs, peanut butter, tofu and lean cuts of meat.
According to the guidelines, most Americans already consume enough protein and should increase their fruit, vegetable, whole grain and low-fat dairy intake.
Brian Phillips, meat and seafood manager at the Lawrence Community Mercantile, has worked in the meat industry for three years. He said he thought Americans consumed too much meat.
Phillips said consumers could trim high-fat meats from their diets by purchasing grass-fed beef, which had one-third less saturated fat, and by eating more lean meats such as chicken.
For $1 to $3 more per pound.
Phillips said customers could enjoy
a cut of beef that had a low amount of saturated fat and that was locally raised and butchered.
Phillips said consumers should also be conscious of the preservatives in processed meats.
"Just read the label — you'll be surprised what you find," he said.
Peter Beyer, associate professor of dietetics and nutrition and a registered dietician, said meat consumption was only one of many health concerns.
"It's not any more of a villain than other things," he said. "But it does increase the risk of chronic disease."
Beyer said people could easily make adjustments to their diets to avoid the risk of heart disease and cancer.
"I recommend that people take things in small steps - portion sizes and lower fats to start," he said.

CRIME
CRIME Two men receive death sentence after killing four
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A jury has recommended death for two men convicted of gunning down a family of four along Florida's Turnpike to settle a drug debt.
The federal jury said Tuesday that Daniel Troya and Ricardo Sanchez Jr., both 25, should be executed.
The sentence marks the first
federal death penalty recommended in Florida since Congress reinstated it in 1988.
The men were convicted March 5 of killing Jose Luis Escobedo, 28, his wife, Yessica Guerrero Escobedo, 25, and their two young sons. Their bodies were found along Florida's Turnpike in October 2006.
District Judge Daniel T.K. Hurley will formally sentence the men at a later hearing.
ECONOMY New General Motors CEO announces more closings
DETROIT — General Motors Corp.'s new chief executive said Tuesday that more of the auto maker's plants could close and bankruptcy was "more probable" as GM worked to meet tougher requirements for government aid.
In his first news conference as CEO, Fritz Henderson said he expected the company would "need
to take further measures" beyond the five plants the company said it would shutter when it submitted a restructuring plan to the government last month.
GMalso is likely to offer another buyout program to workers as it tries to cut labor costs, Henderson said.
President Barack Obama said Monday that GM's initial plans to become viable didn't go far enough.

BUILDING BLOCKS
Hawks hope to add another victory in the WNIT semifinals tonight
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
Just a few steps from the doors of Allen Fieldhouse, there's construction taking place.
Much work has been done; many hours spent laboring, shaping and crafting. Yet, the bare steel and piles of materials strewn about hints that more work remains.
Kansas women's basketball started this season as a project, more a blueprint than a product. Then, coach Bonnie Henrickson molded and built that unfinished blueprint through the good and bad — and for a portion of the season the bad vastly outshined the good.
Now, Henrickson and the Jayhawks stand in the WNIT semifinals against Illinois State tonight at 7 p.m., a far cry from the team that suffered two four-game losing streaks in the Big 12. But, similar to the buildings next to the Fieldhouse, there’s work yet to be done and improvements still to be made.
“We're thrilled where we are,” senior guard Ivana Catic said. “But we're not satisfied yet. We still have two games to go.”

It's a good thing I'm not stuck writing one of those columns. Thankfully, the Kansas women's basketball team sells itself.
I suppose it's possible that you've been experiencing basketball withdrawals, unable to cope with the men's basketball squad getting knocked out of the tournament last week. If that's the case, then you may not have heard that Kansas basketball is still being played. Let me get you up to speed.
Tonight at 7, Allen Fieldhouse will serve as the venue for the semifinal round of the Women's NIT. Kansas will face the Illinois State Redbirds.
To make it this far, Kansas defeated Creighton and Arkansas at home. But the Jayhawks, predictably enough, have been good at home all year. Victories away from Allen Fieldhouse have been much more difficult to come by. And "The Pit," where the Jayhawks faced New Mexico on Monday, is a more difficult place to win than most.

Maybe it's all just a coincidence.

Xavier Henry, a 6-foot-6 guard from Oklahoma City and Rivals. com's No. 3 player in the nation, picked Memphis over Kansas in November.
Stephenson's decision to not announce coincided with the news of Memphis coach John Calipari's taking the vacant job at Kentucky. Calipari's move could have a major effect on Kansas' recruiting.
Henry could ask to be released from his letter of intent and reopen his recruitment per an agreement with Memphis. His options could include following Calipari to Kentucky.
John Wall, a 6-foot-3 guard from Raleigh, N.C., and Rivals.com's top prospect, hasn't decided on a school but was said to be leaning toward Memphis. But that could change now that Calipari has bolted. Kansas remains on Wall's list.
Wall, Henry and Stephenson will all appear at the McDonald's All American Game at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Consider this eye-popping statistic Riley needed 20 shots per game to get her 23 points every night. McCray, on the

Giants star's case adjourned until June
SAMUEL MAULL ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A gun possession case against New York Giants star Plaxico Burress was adjourned Tuesday until June unless he reaches a plea agreement with prosecutors to resolve the matter sooner.
Burress accidentally shot himself in the thigh with an unlicensed gun hed stuffed into his waistband at a Manhattan nightclub last year.
The star receiver, wearing a gray suit and a light blue shirt, arrived at Manhattan Criminal Court in the company of his wife and his attorney, Benjamin Brafman.
Both sides agreed to adjourn the case to June 15 following a brief hearing before Judge Michael
Yavinsky. Burress' bail was continued.
Prosecutor John Wolfstaetter told the judge that the prosecution was continuing its investigation.
Brafman told reporters after the hearing that he had reached no plea agreement with prosecutors and said discussions were continuing. If the two sides agree, they will not necessarily wait for the scheduled court date; he said.
"If the case needs to be advanced to an earlier date it will be ...We are continuing to work our respective investigations, stay tuned," he said.
Asked whether Burress would play for the Giants this year, Brafman said, "It's not my decision. It's the Giants' decision and Plaxico's decision. It isn't a legal decision, it's a sports decision.
"I assume a lot will depend on how, when and if this case is resolved and June 15th is the next day we are back unless there is a reason to come back earlier."
A law enforcement official with knowledge of the case said Monday that Burress' attorneys and prosecutors remain at odds over the terms of a plea deal, with the District Attorney's office pushing for a stiffer punishment than what defense lawyers believe Burress deserves.
Burress is charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, a felony carrying a minimum prison sentence of $3\frac{1}{2}$ years upon conviction.
A plea deal that includes jail time, depending on the length of the sentence, could have a bearing on whether Burress is able to play
football next season.
Statistics show that more than eight out of 10 people arrested in the city last year on the same charge Burress faces received reduced charges, though some plea deals included jail time.
Only about 14 percent of the people charged last year with the same charge that Burress faces were ultimately convicted of it, said John Caher, a spokesman for the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.
Of the 1,248 people in New York City initially arrested on second-degree criminal weapons possession in 2008, 184 were convicted of the charge. About half were convicted of a misdemeanor or violation, and the remaining convictions were usually lesser felonies with some jail time.

Calipari accepts offer to leave Memphis for Kentucky
BY WILL GRAVES
Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari has accepted an offer to leave Memphis for the tradition- rk Kentucky basketball program, according to reports.
Calipari spent the day considering the Wildcats lucrative offer and calling former Kentucky coaches, including Joe B. Hall.
Hall said the informal chat centered on what it takes to survive one of college basketball's most prestigious, most scrutinized and most lucrative jobs. Kentucky fired Billy Gillispie last Friday after two disappointing seasons.
University of Memphis spokesman Bob Winn confirmed athletic director R.C. Johnson had spoken with Calipari. Asked if Calipari had told Johnson he was taking the Kentucky job, Winn declined to comment.
"I can confirm that he has told R.C. (Johnson) that he is headed to Lexington, Ky., this evening," Winn told The Associated Press.
Earlier today, ESPN reported that Calipari was considering an 8-year, $35 million deal. It would make him the highest paid college basketball coach.
The anticipation of an announcement grew around Calipari's home. Police blocked off the section in front of his house from a main road back to an adjacent golf course. Approximately five police cars kept TV trucks at bay.
DeMarcus Cousins verbally committed to Memphis earlier this month and said he was kind of "lost" while talking to reporters before the McDonald's All-American game in Coral Gables, Fla.
A dozen fans gathered just down from Calipari's home. One fan put a "For Sale By Owner" sign in Calipari's house with "NOT" in red letters at the top and "STAY CAL!" written in place of the phone number. Others held a sign: "Please Don't Go Memphis Needs You."
Even some of Calipari's recruits didn't seem to know what was going on.

Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown, who hired Calipari twice as his assistant — first at Kansas and then with the Philadelphia 76ers — has talked with Calipari and said Calipari's decision was difficult because he loves Memphis and his players.
"I'm trying to stay focused (and) just come out here and have fun," he said.
"That community, that town, just adores John and respects what he's done. But it's a once in a lifetime opportunity," Brown said Tuesday morning after the Bobcats' shoot-around.
Brown pushed Calipari to take the Memphis job in 2000, and Brown noted Conference USA was different then with Louisville, Marquette and Cincinnati still in the league. He also thinks Calipari is curious to test himself in a big conference after coaching in the Atlantic 10 and lightly regarded C-USA.

If he leaves, they're going to be upset, but it's because he's done such a phenomenal job." Brown said. "If you leave and you've done a bad job they're happy that you're gone. So you can't win."

Winning has never been a problem for Calipari, who is 253-68 in nine years at Memphis and 446-139 overall. His name has popped up as
a candidate for other jobs during his stay with the Tigers, but he has likely never been tempted like this.
Kentucky received permission to talk to Calipari on Monday, though Memphis athletic director R.C. Johnson said the program would do whatever it takes to keep the coach who has spent the last nine years turning the Tigers into a national power.
While the waiting game continued early Tuesday, sentiment to lure Calipari to the Bluegrass continued to grow. A Facebook group touting Calipari had increased to more than 16,000 members on Tuesday afternoon.
The Wildcats have deep pockets, play in a major conference and are a national presence. What they haven't had since Pitino left in 1997 is a charismatic leader who could bring some electricity to the program.
Callipar would certainly provide that, but it'll be costly.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
He has four years left on his contract paying him $2.35 million annually. He also has an annuity averaging $1 million over the deal through 2013.
Throw in whatever settlement Kentucky negotiates with Gillispie, the Wildcats could have near $10 million invested in the head coach of its basketball program next year
Former Memphis basketball coach John Calipari yells at officials during Memphis' loss to Missouri in the Sweet Sixteen last Thursday. Calipari is reportedly leaving Memphis to take the vacant coaching job at Kentucky.

Jayhawks leave men on base
BASEBALL
Team struggles with stranded runners, wants more batting productivity
Weston White/KANSAN
tdwyer@kansan.com
BY TIM DWYER
Sophomore Tony Thompson grounded out to short to end a scoreless Kansas first inning and strand two men on the base paths. It was a theme for the day.
Thompson stranded five runners in the game, which was the most for a Kansas squad that left 11 runners on the bases, including seven in the first four innings.
"We've got to get it done," coach Ritch Price said. "Literally the whole problem we've got going right now is that we're not being productive with runners in scoring position."
Sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson stranded five runners in Tuesday's game against Northern Colorado.
The problem wasn't solved
Tuesday night against the Northern Colorado Bears.
Until a walk-off home run off the bat of Nick Faunce clinched the game for Kansas, it had left a runner on base in every inning. In five innings, runners were in scoring position when the third out was recorded. Price said there was a reason behind the team's offensive woes.
"I'm worried about the number of non-competitive at-bats that we have." Price said.
Price said the
Price said the weak at bats were a product of coming out flat. The Jayhawks had no life early in the game, going down by as much as three and scoring only one run through seven innings against
Northern Colorado starter James Quisenberry, who came into the game with an ERA more than 9.00 and left with an ERA a run and a half lower.
"We came out really flat," said senior first base president Preston Land,
But although the Jayhawks were unable to fix one haunting offensive problem, they took giant leaps to take care of another.
"I'm worried about the number of non-competitive at-bats that we have."
Kansas finishes many games in pressure situations - 17 of the
who hit the gametying single in the ninth. "It's not something you want to happen, especially in a midweek game against a team that is capable of beating you. You want to come out with a lot of enthusiasm and get on them."
Jayhawks' 26 games have been decided by three runs or less, and only one of their 10 losses has been decided by that margin.
The layhawks need to see hitters step up and take care of business with the game on the line and were unable to do so this weekend.
Seniors Land and Faunce answered the call for Kansas on Tuesday.
Faunce, in the midst of an 0-for-11 slump, roped a double to left field that started an eighth-inning rally to tie the game at six.
In the bottom of the ninth when his number was called again, he one-upped himself, sealing the victory with a two-out blast to left field.
No runners were left on base.
Edited by Chris Horn
BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Price said he was disappointed with the team's lack of energy in the early innings.
Northern Colorado junior starter James Quisenberry baffled the Kansaslineup throughout the game. The soft-throwing left-hander kept the Jahawks from doing damage until Quisenberry was chased in the eighth inning.
And that's where the fun started for Kansas.
After scoring just one run in those first seven innings, the Jayhawks erupted for seven in the final two, doing damage against the Bear's bullseen.
Junior second baseman Robby Price smashed a single right past the Bears' diving second baseman, tying the score at four and shifting all the momentum to Kansas.
"He works the count 3-1, and the guy knows he's got to throw a fastball now," Ritch Price said. "He razors the ball into right field."
But then senior closer Paul Smyth gave up two long home runs, and it looked as though Northern Colorado was ready to pull off the upset.
Coach Price put senior first baseman Preston Land into the game during the top of the ninth inning for defense. As Land watched the Bears celebrate with an almost certain victory, he wanted to make sure he made a play when he came to the plate with his team down a run and two outs.
"Try to put the ball in play there, make hard contact." Land said of his approach during the at-bat.
Land proceeded to hit a line drive into the ground that kicked off the Northern Colorado shortstop. The left fielder then displayed the ball in the outfield, which allowed sophomore outfielder Jimmy Waters to tie the game at six.
"I hit the ball hard on the ground and it took a lucky bounce." Land said. "Anytime I can just get on

base to help the team win is a plus."
Land didn't have to wait too long on base before Faune's home run to dead-center cleared the wall. It was Faune's first walk-off home run in his career at Kansas. He said it was a joy for him to get mobbed by his teammates before he even crossed home plate.
"They're all there for you," Faunce said of his teammates waiting at home plate as he rounded the bases. "To celebrate it, it's just a good feeling to perform in that kind of situation."
Not only was it Faunce's first
walk-off home run for his career, but it was also the first walk-off game at Hoglund Ballpark this season.
Kansas has had to watch teams like Arkansas and Texas A&M celebrate walk-off victories on their home fields. Land said it was a relief to be able to experience that and not watch it.
"When you're in that situation it's huge and everyone's happy," Land said. "It's a huge amount of enthusiasm and huge moral boost for the team."

Vick pays Falcons before his hearing
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Michael Vick has agreed to pay the Atlanta Falcons at least $6.5 million as part of his bankruptcy case, clearing the way for the team to release him before training camp.
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
Atlanta Falcons football player Michael Vick leaves federal court after pleading guilty to a dogfighting charge in Richmond, Va. Vic recently agreed to pay the Atlanta Falcons 56.5 million before his bankruptcy hearing on Thursday so the team could release him before training camp.
The suspended quarterback arrived in his home state Monday afternoon and was being held at Western Tidewater Regional Jail in Suffolk, Va.
A U.S. district judge reduced the amount to $3.75 million, and the case remains on appeal.
After an arbitrator sided with the team, the players union took the case to federal court.
The settlement was reached ahead of Vick's bankruptcy hearing in Virginia on Thursday.
According to a bankruptcy court filing, the Falcons have settled their claim that Vick owed them nearly $21.2 million.
The money is for bonuses he received before his guilty plea to federal dogfighting charges.
"To resolve uncertainty over the amount of the Falcons' claim, the parties have determined that the Falcons will receive an allowed general unsecured claim in the debtor's bankruptcy case in the amount of $7.5 million," said the filing, which was entered last week. "If the district court's ruling is ultimately affirmed on appeal, the amount of the Falcons' claim will be reduced to $6.5 million."

After a week-long hiatus, the Jayhawk softball team returns to action tomorrow at 4 p.m. for a doubleheader against the Missouri Tigers in Kansas' Big 12 Conference home opener. Kansas (10-19, 0-2) hopes to contain No. 13 Missouri (30-4, 3-1), which comes into Lawrence after winning their last five games.
"They've had a very consistent year," she said. "They aren't one-dimensional either; they have a good mix of speed and power. They're a well-balanced club."
Despite the rivalry, coach Tracy Bunge didn't shy away from giving credit to a talented Missouri ballclub.
The Tigers indeed boast a solid all-around game. Senior pitcher Stacy Delaney was just named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week for her two victories last week and will certainly be a presence from the circle.

From the plate, the Tigers are just as deadly — they currently lead the Big 12 with a .334 team batting average.
Missouri has a number of weapons, but for Bunge the catalyst of the Tiger's success has been speedy sophomore outfielder Rhea Taylor. Taylor, last year's Big 12 Freshman of the Year, has been a menace when she gets on base — with 16 steals on the season. It isn't surprising, then, that Kansas has been working hard on defense in practice.

"We've spent a lot of time trying to simulate Missouri's speed — slapping the ball around and letting our base-runners cheat a bit," she said, adding that the Jayhawks would need to keep Taylor off the basepaths.

Although the Jayhawks come into the Border Showdown with five consecutive losses, coach Bunge is encouraged by their recent performance in practice.
"We've had a great couple of practices — the team has really come together and played with intensity," she said, "I'm really anxious to see how the girls come out and play; they are really looking forward to playing Mizzou."
Missouri's 30 wins speak to the team's skill, but the Jayhawks still believe they can steal a couple of wins from the Tigers.
TEXAS A&M GAMES RESCHEDULED
"Well, you look at their record — they obviously don't beat themselves," she said. "But we know that if we play well, we can play with anyone; it's just going to take two solid, consistent games to beat them."
Last weekend's games against Texas A&M, which were postponed due to weather, have been rescheduled as a doubleheader for Thursday, April 30, at Arrocha Ballpark. The games are slated to begin at 11:15 a.m.

KANSAS 00.0 GUEST 64 1/2
BASKETBALL
(CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The Kansas women's basketball team will try to continue their season success tonight in the WNIT semifinals against Illinois State at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
Catic's story fits this team, this Kansas program, perfectly.
Chance Dibben/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Catic, a native of Serbia, followed Henrickson to Lawrence with the idea of changing a program that hadn't won much in recent years.
Yet the task didn't always flow smoothly. Kansas went to the WNIT twice in Catie's first three years but never made it past the second round. Those teams never won 20 games.
"This staff came here to turn the program around, and all of us who came here to play with Bonnie and her staff had that in mind," Catic said. "It's not exactly like going to the tournament, but it's still a great thing."
Then came this year — a pivotal point in Henrickson's five-year tenure — when many demanded for progress to be made. The Jayhawks' 21 victories are the most in a decade and this is the furthest Kansas has ever been in the WNIT.
Perhaps that's the most accurate sentiment of Kansas' current run in the WNIT. Sure, the Jayhawks would much rather have made the NCAA tournament, but the WNIT semifinals serve as a step forward and a form of progress.
And Catic has seen it too. Her teammates are not only accepting what coaches are saying — they're accepting responsibility.
"People started holding each other and themselves accountable for things on and off the court," Catic said. "We all realized at some point it's not just about what you do on the court."
After returning from New
Mexico, junior guard Sade Morris spent part of Tuesday practicing basketball, the other part making sales pitches with her teammates asking everyone to attend tonight's game.
On Monday night, Kansas witnessed perhaps its most hos-
title playing environment this season. Fans threw ice on the court after the game and, at times, junior forward Danielle McCray said it was so loud she couldn't hear herself think.
Kansas wants that same enthusiasm and fan support for its women's basketball program.
"For the people that didn't really beieve in us then, now they can beieve in us," Morris said. "Yeah, we were on that great stretch before
the WNIT and now look how far we've gotten. That probably surprised a lot of people."
Why wouldn't it have?
At one point this season, Kansas struggled to a 2-9 record in the Big 12, including losses to Colorado and Missouri, neither of whom made the NCAA tournament or WNIT.
"For the people that didn't really believe in us then, now they can believe in us."
That losing wore on the players, who still had to practice just as hard — if not harder — despite seeing few positive results.
SADE MORRIS Junior guard
"You think you're giving it your best, but it's not good enough so you have to give even more when
you don't think you have it in you," Catic said. "But somewhere we all had to find it in ourselves because it wasn't good enough."
The Jayhawks couldn't score, couldn't defend and appeared destined for a finish near the bottom of the Big 12. But somewhere along the line, after months of Henrickson's constant prodding, those fortunes reversed.
"In the beginning, it was hard losing that many games. Just
doing the whole thing over and over again, losing that many games over and over," McCray said. "But Bonnie was never going to give up on us and we were never going to give up on each other."
Morris added that Henrickson "would be picky about everything, and at first wed be upset and be like, 'it's not that big of a deal,'" Morris said. "But she said the little things are what win games for you. And we finally bought into that and that's the truth."
In the midst of the chaos of coaching, Henrickson has found time to watch her team and simply enjoy the beauty of it all.
"We keep trying to tell them what winning is like and how much fun it is." Henrickson said. "When you buy into it and do the things we've asked, it's fun to sit back and watch them celebrate."
But Henrickson and her players insist they aren't satisfied yet, and that this road still has a few turns and stops left.
To cast off Kansas' success as irrelevant because it's the WNIT, not the Big Dance, is shallow-minded.
Programs, the same as buildings, are built on foundations. And Kansas' current run appears to be the start of a sturdy and

Senior Kristi Cirone. She's among the 40 finalists for the Coaches' All-American team and was the Missouri Valley Player of the Year, if she scores 17 points and dishes out two assists, she will hold the Illinois State single-season records for both categories. Senior Ivan Catic will likely draw the quick guard and must contain her for the Jawhayes to win.
The Jayhawks clicking on all cylinders. They've been able to get the balanced scoring they've been looking for all season and have seen major improvements from their bench. Freshman Aishah Sutherland likely won't get into the starting lineup, but she has been the best post presence for the Jayhawks in the postseason.

WHY KANSAS WILL WIN...
The Jayhawks are much more battle-tested. Illinois State hasn't played too many quality opponents this year. Kansas will likely be the toughest team Illinois State has faced all year. On the other hand, the Jayhawkes have beaten Iowa State, a team that just lost in the Elite Eight, and Baylor, a No. 2 seed in the tournament, in their past 10 games.
HOW THE GAME IS IMPORTANT...
promising base.
One victory takes the Jayhawks to the pinnacle of the WNIT; the championship. With two wins, Kansas will signal its emergence and possibly leave a few Big 12 coaches with their jaws on the floor.

That's the environment Kansas was faced with winning in on Monday. Behind a spectacular — if unsurprising — 32-point and nine-rebound effort from Danielle McCray, Kansas did just that.
And so the layhawks get to return home. But if they'd like that homecoming to be a happy one, McCray might just need to put up similar numbers. The funny thing is, it would be surprising if she

She followed that with a 35-and-eight effort against Arkansas. Given her 21-and-eight average (she also leads the team in free-throw percentage, three-point shooting, blocks and steals — no big deal), it's easy to take stats like that for granted.

It's being played in Allen Fieldhouse tonight. One of those teams has "Kansas" on the front of its jerseys. If you're a still-drotted Jayahawk basketball addict, consider this your perfect excuse to relapse.
and you won't make that mistake
"She's just playing with so much confidence," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She's a kid that can take tough shots and hit tough shots in so many different ways."
LIED CENTER OF KANSAS
But in Kansas't three WNIT games, McCray has played even better. She's averaging 30.7 points and 10 rebounds in that stretch.
Of course, Kansas' late season success can't be attributed to one player alone, however gaudy her numbers. There's plenty of credit to go around. Junior Sade Morris provides valuable supplementary scoring from the guard spot. Her backcourt mate, senior Ivana Catic, has the steadying hand and leadership abilites coaches love from point guards. The rebounding and presence sophomore center Krysten Boogaard offers, along with the continued emergence of freshman forward Aishah Sutherland (who had 10 rebounds off the bench against Oklahoma's titanic Paris sisters earlier this season), has shored up the interior.
"Nobody is pouting that they're not starting," senior guard Ivana Catic said. "Everyone is still competing in practice. Sometimes when we play in practice, the bench beats the starters."
women's basketball notes
To put it as succinctly as possible: This is a final four (not the official title, but it has a nice ring to it) game between two good teams.
But in the shadows is Kansas' bench, led by Aisha Sutherland and LaChelda Jacobs. Early in the season, reserves provided little support for the starters.

As the season has progressed, though, so has Kansas's bench.
Kansas is good. Advancing to this stage isn't a fluke. But then, Illinois State wouldn't be here if it didn't have ability too.
BETTER BENCH PLAY
During this current run, Kansas' biggest players have stepped into the spotlight.
Junior forward Danielle McCray has been good offensively all season.

School of Fine Arts splits
New plan includes School of Music, opening classes to non-arts majors
BY JENNIFER TORLINE
jtorline@kansan.com
The curtain is closing on a 118-year-old legacy at the University of Kansas.
Beginning July 1, a reorganized School of Fine Arts will replace the original one, whose organization has remained unchanged since 1891.
The school's programs will move to new and existing schools at the University. As students, faculty and staff prepare for the reorganization, administrators continue to puzzle out scholarships, donor contributions and possible curriculum changes that could open up arts classes to more students.
The latest step in the process was the naming of Alicia Ann Clair, professor of music education and music therapy, as the interim dean for the new School of Music on Wednesday.
Administrators are trying to make the transition as smooth as possible for students, many of whom are having mixed feelings about the reorganization.
For Mandy Shriwise, Overland Park senior and dance major, who has one year left in the school, the change is bittersweet.
"On the whole, it's kind of sad
to see," Shriwise said. "There's a part of me that misses having a cohesive school at KU"
OLD AND NEW
The School of Fine Arts currently includes the departments of art, design, and music and dance.
Changes under the reorganization include a new School of Music, a separate School of the Arts in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and a revamped department of design that will move to the School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
any of these changes to cost the University any money in the long term. John Gronbeck-Tedesco, interim dean of the School of Fine Arts, said the reorganization might ultimately save money and increase enrollment.
Administrators don't expect
"We raised the standards for the units that teach the arts," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "The raising of standards often triggers more interest not only in the arts, but in other fields as well."
The move to create a School of Music has received praise from

Students argue for concealed carry
Group plans to take case to legislature
BY KEVIN HARDY khardy@kansan.com
The Student Involvement and Leadership Center officially recognized the KU chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, or SCCC, as a student organization March 4.
The tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech on April 16,2007, initiated a national discussion about campus safety and sparked debate on the best ways to protect students.
In order to protect themselves and others in the case of a campus shooting, students at the University of Kansas began advocating several months ago for the right to carry licensed concealed weapons on campus.

SCCC state leader
Derek Miller, SCCC president, said.
"The whole point of the group is that there are a number of individuals who can carry anywhere else but on college campuses."

Miller, Kansas City, Kan. senior, participated in a training exercise with the KU Public Safety Office in 2007 as part of a military group who acted out a camera shooter scenario.

and effectiveness of the KU Public Safety Office "atrocious." Miller said the training exercise inspired him to get more involved in advocating for Second Amendment rights on campus.

Although the FDA wouldn't be allowed to ban nicotine or tobacco, the agency would be able to regulate the contents of tobacco products, make public their ingredients, prohibit flavoring, require much larger warning labels and control marketing campaigns, especially those geared toward children.
Opponents contended that the FDA was already overburdened and couldn't handle the job of regulating another big industry. U.S. tobacco production was valued at $1.3 billion in 2007.

Cori Ast, communications and event coordinator for the Dole Institute and December 2008 graduate, said Pickens devised the plan because he was outraged with Americans' dependency on foreign oil. According to a news release from the Dole Institute, the plan proposes using the domestic supply of natural gas as transportation fuel, harnessing wind and solar power, increasing incentives for household energy-saving alternatives, and creating a national electrical grid.
U. S Senator Sam Brownback will introduce Pickens at the meeting.

STUDENT SENATE
Subcommittee finalizes recommendations for funding cuts
BY BRIANNE PFANNENSTIEL
bpfannenstiel@kansan.com
After about 40 hours of hearings, reviews and deliberations, the Student Senate fee review subcommittee finalized its recommendations regarding which campus organizations would see cuts in funding.
The recommendations were amended slightly and then passed at the finance meeting Wednesday night and will go before full, Senate for final approval next week.
In total, 30 fees were reviewed for the purpose of maintaining fee costs at the current level for next school year.
Student Body President
Adam McGonigle said it was important that any cost increase for students be used to fund academics over other campus programs. Five of the fees reviewed received increased funding while another nine were decreased.
"The fees are the largest amount of money students have control over," Brian Douhard, fee review committee chairman, said. "So it's important that we show students and the administration that we can handle their money responsibly."
THE FEES
Below is a comprehensive evaluation of the more controversial fee changes.
1) Campus Transportation
2) Environmental Improvement
3) Student Media
4) Student Union Activities
5) Campus Safety
THE CHANGE
1) Increased by $1.00
2) Decreased by $1.40
3) No change
4) Decreased by 50 cents
5) Eliminated
1) The dollar increase for transportation would go into a general bus procurement fund.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of parking and transit, said purchasing new buses was beneficial to students because they were more
reliable, more environmentally friendly and required fewer maintenance costs. He said the buses currently owned were old beyond the normal life expectancy of buses and needed to be replaced.
2) England Porter. Independence senior and chairman of the student environmental advisory board, said the cuts would drastically affect the group's efforts to bring sustainability projects to campus.
"There are a lot of students who are really discouraged that it was cut and to such a great degree," Porter said.
She said there were many projects in the works and did not know how the cut in funding would affect them.
3) The campus media fee funds KJHK, The University Daily
Kansan, Kiosk Magazine, KUpedia and KU Filmworks and was originally recommended to be cut by 25 cents. However, in the last minutes of the meeting, Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va., junior, amended the bill to take an additional 25 cents from the newspaper readership fee and put it towards the campus media fee.
In his presentation of the amendment, Porte said it was important to fund student media over national outlets.
4) Nathan Mack, Lawrence senior and vice president of administration and finance for Student Union Activities, said the 50-cent fee cut, coupled with decreased funding from other sources, would have a dramatic effect on the types of programming SUA would be able to offer next year.
Mack said the group would try not to cut the number of events it organized, but would instead have to focus on doing them for less.
5) Felix Zacharias, Wichita junior, who chairs the campus safety board, said cutting the campus safety fee sent a negative message to the student body, though he understood why it was done.
"It's just going to take a lot more work," Mack said.
He said he thought the campus safety fee had accumulated enough money in its reserve account for the board to work with next year.
Zacharias also said some projects would no longer be possible.

Federal authorities seize
Madoff's beach mansion
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Federal authorities seized disgraced financier Bernard Madoff's Palm Beach mansion, his vintage yacht and a smaller boat Wednesday as part of an effort to recoup assets to pay back investors he swindled.
Barry Golden, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service, said about five U.S. marshals arrived at the 8,753-square-foot, five-bedroom mansion late Wednesday afternoon, hours
after marshals seized the boats. Authorities planned to enter and secure the mansion, change the locks and conduct an inventory of the property, which Palm Beach County records show had a taxable value of 59.3 million last year.
Golden said marshals will spend about three to four hours filming and photographing items in the house that might be removed at some point. The mansion was unoccupied when federal authorities arrived.
"It's not an April Fools' joke," he said.

FINE ARTS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
many in the department of music and dance. Christopher Johnson, professor of music and associate dean of the School of Fine Arts, said KU had one of the largest music departments in the country.
Alyssa Boone, Wichita senior and music performance major; said a new School of Music would help give professors and students adequate recognition for their work.
"Just in name alone, the department of music being elevated to a school of music makes us a little more lucrative to people who would come and teach here," said Boone, who also served on the task force to help plan the reorganization.
'CHANGE IS HARD'
Sam Schlageck. Manhattan senior, expressed confusion about the reorganization. Schlageck said he did not feel informed about the changes because of poor communication between administrators and students.
"I don't think they really went around and asked for much input regarding what we would like to see in the departments," said Schlagech, an industrial design major and the Student Senator for the School of Fine Arts.
One primary factor motivating changes to the School of Fine Arts was the need to modernize the school's organization, said Dawn Marie Guernsey, chair of the art department.
The outdated model made it difficult to find a new dean for the school, said Johnson, the associate dean of the School of Fine Arts. Steven Hedden, the previous dean, stepped down last year to return to his teaching position in the department of music and dance.
Johnson said students might not notice some of the changes because faculty and courses would be in the same offices and buildings as before. He said students would still have access to the same degrees and programs, just offered under different schools.
"In the long run, all the programs are going to flourish," Johnson said. "In the short run, change is hard."
inspiration for the reorganization
Dawn Marie Guernsey, chair of the department of art, said the new School of the Arts was being modeled after institutions such as the University of Indiana, Bloomington, which has a prestigious art program located within the College of Arts and Science.
undergraduates convenient access to arts courses and the option to easily switch among departments.
"They get a well-rounded education on top of their arts degree," Klausing said.
Stephanie Klausing, graduate services coordinator for Indiana's Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts, said that Indiana's organization gave
Guernsey said the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences had other resources, including financial resources, that could also benefit the School of the Arts.
OPENING THE ARTS
In the School of the Arts,organizational changes could include opening first- and second-year art classes to all KU students, Guernsey said.
The change would allow nonart major students to take art courses as elective credit within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Currently, non-art majors must have faculty permission to take an art class. Changing the requirements could also help recruit students to the School of the Arts and provide graduate student teaching opportunities.
"It goes both ways," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "Students outside the arts have more access to art training and those in art will have more access outside the arts."
'PART OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS'
But the plan is not without criticism.
Tim Hamill, a Lawrence resident and former chairman of the School of Fine Arts Advisory Board, said he was worried that the reorganization would not prepare students for the real world, where art and design are integrated.
"Dividing the school into different disciplines makes sense academically," said Hamill, who received his undergraduate and graduate design degrees from the University.
"But to those of us who have
spent 30 to 40 years making our living in art and design, the idea of separating art and design doesn't make any sense at all."
May Tveit, associate professor of industrial design, said she wasn't unhappy with the new plan, but would have preferred to see art, design and architecture merged, rather than moved to different schools.
"The current contemporary world tells me that all of our disciplines are merging and hybridizing." Tweit said. "I had hoped that the structural alignment would have supported that."
Caroline Curtin, Leawood senior, a graphic design and painting major, has a unique perspective on the reorganization because her majors will no longer be in the same school.
"It is a bit of a shame that people cannot see that, out in the real world, art and design work hand in hand," Curtin said. "Without knowledge of one or the other it would be hard to be successful in either discipline."
Aside from the criticism, John Hachmeister, associate professor of art, said he was not worried because artistic thinkers could creatively change quickly.
"It would really behoove us to rally on top of this and accept that change." Hachmeister said. "Yeah, there will be some things that will be a little messy, but that's part of the creative process. If anybody can do this, we can do this."

Pakistani people from the Mehshu tribe rally to condemn reported U.S. missile attacks in their area along the Afghanistan border, in Tank 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Dera Ismail Khan, in Pakistan, on Wednesday. A suspected U.S. S. drone fired two missiles at an alleged hide-out connected to a Taliban leader who has threatened to attack Washington, killing 14 people and wounding several others, official said.

For years, the U.S. considered Mehsud a lesser threat than some of the other Pakistani Taliban, their Afghan counterparts and al-Qaida, because most of
Pakistani officials said the U.S. has changed its view in recent months as Mehsud's power has grown and concerns mounted that increasing violence in Pakistan
could destabilize the nuclear armed ally.
"Mehshu poses a very real threat to stability and security in Pakistan and Afghanistan," said Eric Rosenbach, a terrorist expert at Harvard's Kennedy School.
The FBI said it was not aware of any imminent or specific threat to Washington, and Mehsud has not carried out any attacks outside the region. Even so, Pakistani officials said the U.S. has stepped up strikes targeting the Pakistani Taliban leader and his supporters in recent weeks.
The State Department authorized a reward of up to $5 million for Mehsud on March 25, the same day a suspected U.S. missile strike killed eight militants near his hometown in South Waziristan.
Pakistan has publicly criticized the U.S. missile attacks, saying they violate the country's sovereignty and kill innocent civilians.

Unrequired testing headed off pistachio problem in U.S.
Lack of national food testing regulations places responsibility on manufacturers
GARANCE BURKE Associated Press
TERRA BELLA, Calif. — The reason it didn't take dozens of illnesses for federal regulators to learn about salmonella-tainted pistachios has nothing to do with federal regulations.
Routine but unrequired testing by a manufacturer for Kraft Foods Inc. first detected the contamination almost two weeks ago, when workers at a plant in Illinois decided to check roasted nuts going into huge vats of trail mix.
Private auditors hired by Kraft later found problems they think caused the contamination at a supplier's processing facility in central California.
If Kraft had not chosen to prioritize testing, 2 million pounds of pistachios that touched off government warnings and a nationwide salmonella scare this week probably would still be on the market. Neither the Food and Drug
state laws require food manufacturers to test the safety of their products.
"We're relying on companies to find the contaminated foods on their own, and since there's no national standards
for this, some companies don't bother to test at all," said Rep. Diana DeGete, D-Colo., a critic of the nation's food safety system.
"What if these nuts had been distributed by a company that doesn't test? We wouldn't have found out until people got sick."
DeGette and numerous other lawmakers are calling for the FDA to develop testing regulations for every segment of the food industry, and want companies to be required to release test results.
which has recalled more than 2 million pounds of its roasted pistachios.
"They're not required to tell us, they did and we're moving on it."
The investigation of tainted pistachios contrasts sharply with that of this year's salmonella outbreak involving peanuts, the subject of a criminal investigation and thousands of recalls.
The contamination was not traced to peanuts until hundreds of people around the country got sick. The company involved, Peanut Corp. of America, had tested its products, but inspection records show that in some cases it shipped peanuts it knew were probably tainted.
"You can call it a fluke, you can call it good luck, or you can call it good judgment on the part of Kraft," said Dr. David Acheson, FDA's assistant commissioner for
Federal health officials warned people this week to avoid eating all pistachios and products containing them while they determine which products may be contaminated.
DAVID ACHESON

Commissioner
Private industry reported the pistachio problem immediately, rather than waiting for public health officials to intervene. And as of Wednesday, authorities had not confirmed any illnesses.
The nuts Kraft manufacturer Georgia Nut Co. tested on March 20 came from Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc., the second-largest pistachio processor in the nation,
food safety. "They're not required to tell us, they did and we're moving on it."
Acheson said the FDA does not mandate testing so companies are free to decide whether to take that step before distributing food products to stores.
Officials with the Grocery Manufacturers Association, an industry group that represents major food manufacturers, say Kraft has one of the most aggressive food safety systems in the business.

But they say getting the government to require testing of all foods is not the answer, since different foods are at risk of becoming contaminated at very different steps in the manufacturing process.
"You don't want to do testing just for the sake of doing testing," said the association's chief science officer, Robert Brackett. "That tends to be this one-size-fits all situation where it may work really well for some products and not for others. What we really focus on is for companies to build the safety into their programs in the first place."
Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc. is a processing plant in Terra Bella, Calif. The company, which is at the center of a nationwide pistachio recall, says it believes the salmonella contamination is likely not from a human or animal source inside its plant.

African adoptions increase Madonna's efforts to adopt 2 children from Malawi part of trend
CELEAN JACOBSON
Associated Press
like China and Russia cut back on adoptions by foreigners.
LILONGWE, Malawi — Madonna's efforts to adopt two youngsters from Malawi have drawn the paparazzi. But she isn't alone: Westerners are increasingly seeking to bring home children from Africa as traditional sources
The rising number of adoptions from Africa — particularly by Americans in Ethiopia — comes as the AIDS epidemic ravaging the continent leaves
more orphans in impoverished countries and surviving relatives are unable to care for them.
"Ideally more local adoptions would be best, but people aren't coming forward and if life is better out there then they should take it."
Thomas Diflipo, president of the Joint Council on International Children's Services, does not attribute the increase to a celebrity factor, but he says some high-profile adoptions by celebrities have raised awareness of the availability of
State Department. The year before, 1,255 Ethiopian children were adopted by Americans.
Americans adopted 1,725 Ethiopian children in the 12-month period ending Sept. 30, 2008, about 70 percent of all U.S. adoptions from Africa, according to the U.S.

orphans in Africa.
"One of the good things about the Madonnaadoptionor Angelina Jolie, those adoptions brought the need to the attention of Europeans or Americans," he said. "And it brought the possibility to people's attention."
Rich foreign-
gers have been adopting children from poorer nations for decades. Mia Farrow, now the mother of 14, adopted an orphan from the Vietnam War in 1973. Jolie adopted her sons Maddox and Pax from Cambodia and Vietnam and her daughter Zahara from Ethiopia.

Many adoption agencies and child rights activists argue it is preferable for children to be taken care of by relatives or in their communities, with foreign adoptions allowed only as a last resort. Others say that isn't always realistic.
But critics have slammed Madonna's efforts to adopt a second child from Malawi this week, accusing her of acting like a rich "bully" and using her money and status to fast-track the adoption process. On Tuesday, Madonna insisted she was following standard procedures.
"Ideally more local adoptions would be best, but people aren't coming forward and if life is better out there then they should take it," said Zoe Cohen, a private adoption consultant in South Africa.
Adoption experts say the rise in adoptions from Africa is due to developments in China, Russia, Guatemala and other longtime sources of orphans that have reduced the number of foreign adoptions. As a result, the number of foreign children adopted by Americans fell 12 percent last year, reaching the lowest level since 1999.

Downey Jr. gives Holmes story an action update
LAS VEGAS — Leave it to Robert Downey Jr. to turn Sherlock Holmes into a wisecracking action hero who ends up hand-cuffed naked to a bed. Downey offered a sneak peek Tuesday of his new take on the cerebral detective created by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Theater owners attending their annual ShoWest convention got to see Downey's Holmes in a bruising boxing match, diving from a tall building into London's Thames River and trading barbs with roommate Dr. Watson (Jude Law), who complains about the detective's slovenliness and nocturnal violin playing.
Downey also turns the detective into something of a ladies man as his Holmes gets a romantic interest (Rachel McAdams). Conan Doyle's Holmes lived a monk's life, save for one purely platonic dalliance with a female foe whose intellect he
greatly admired.
Despite the saucy swagger and attitude of Downey's "Sherlock Holmes," directed by Guy Ritchie, the actor said the movie is true to the spirit of Conan Doyle's stories, which have plenty of action.
Past screen adaptations of Holmes stories "Just never had the money to do it right," Downey said.
Downey joked that after his superhero flick "Iron Man" had a blockbuster opening weekend last year, his agents told him he had a window of the "next hour and a half" where he could do anything he wanted in Hollywood. His agents told him "don't do anything crazy" Downey said
The actor said he called Joel Silver — the producing partner of his wife, Susan Downey, and his collaborator on "Weird Science,""Gothika" and "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang." Downy said he told Silver he was interested in doing an intelligent action movie that also was a period piece.

Senate should not put hold on anti-discrimination bill
EDITORIAL BOARD
A Kansas Senate committee advanced a bill on March 19 that would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the Kansas Act Against Discrimination, a measure that is long overdue. It is possible, however, that this important piece of legislation could be put on hold.
Under Kansas law, it is illegal to discriminate in public accommodations, employment, and housing for the following
(R-Overland Park) and Pete Brungardt (R-Salina).
The Kansas Equality Coalition supports the addition to the bill, and it was voted for by Sens. Marci Francisco (D-Lawrence), Roger Reitz (R-Manhattan), Oletha Faust-Goudeau, (D-Wichita), Tim Owens,
Using sexual orientation as a reason to prohibit someone from housing, or as grounds to remove someone from their job, is absurd. The United States is a country founded on equality for all people, and this bill would just be insuring that Kansans are holding true to this American ideal.

Tough times, but reason for Jayhawks to celebrate
Lately, I've heard a lot of my peers complaining about some current circumstances that are less than ideal. The economy sucks. We're out of the tournament. It just snowed when winter is supposed to be over. But there are reasons to remain optimistic.
One of the best reasons to be attending the University: It rocks and it's also affordable. Although many of us will not be here more than four or five years, there is a sizeable population that will continue its education after an undergraduate degree. Whatever your path, the University is likely the right (or at least a smart) choice.
For those feeling a little blue, here is a reminder of how lucky you are (and proud you should be) just to a student at the University, as well as a few statistics to throw at anyone questioning our beloved university.
Mary Beth Marklein of USA Today reported in her article "Economy Influences College Choices" that seven out of 10 high school students said the struggling economy had affected their college applications. Obviously those 70 percent haven't visited Lawrence vet.
But the University goes beyond being a great bargain. The Princeton Review reports that it
THINGS OF RELEVANCE RICHELLE BUSER
has a place for all types of people, from the Greeks to the hippies, and acknowledges its "infectious school spirit."
BUSER
TopUniversities.com said that greatness began with the founding of Lawrence as an abolitionist town, and the founding of the University has only continued to astonish ever since.
This Web site also referred to the University as "an ideal campus," and claims that at this college "opportunities are boundless." That's definitely not an understatement.
"KU students love life at their school," the Review said.
The University has been called home for the astronomer who discovered Pluto, New York Times best-selling author Steve Doocy, the former CEO of Pepsi-Cola Co., the first African-American woman to entertain at the White House, governors, national (and Emmy-award winning) news anchors, the inventor of that semi-popular sport called basketball, NASA astronauts and Nobel Prize-winners. And I can't forget the wildly popular actor Paul
Rudd, Olympic gold medalists, the discoverer of vitamin A, ambassadors (to countries such as South Africa and Qatar), the co-founder of Netscape and the first female senator to have been elected before her husband.
Unfortunately, there are just too many legendary layhawks for me to mention them all. For more than a decade, the University has received four stars from the Fiske Guide to Colleges, and U.S. News and World Report ranked it at 89 out of the Best National Universities in a survey of more than 1400 colleges.
Oh, and even though it's 2009,
we can all still brag about our
Orange Bowl and NCAA National
Championship victories of 2008.
Be serious; don't you think
Mizzou would do the same if
they actually won something?
The bottom line — our school is awesome, and we are all thereby awesome by association. Now that I have stroked the ego of all current and former KU students and faculty, go out there and have a wonderful day. Don't forget to yell "Rock Chalk" to anyone you see, because it always has been, and always will be, great to a Jayhawk.

NCAA tournament boycotts Confederate-flag flying city
BY RYAN QUINN U. of South Carolina The Daily Gamecock
A flag symbolizes a country as long as that country exists. When that country ceases to exist — 1865 for the CSA — the flag no longer symbolizes something real. A flag then becomes a symbol that is defined by human emotion. Many believe that the Confederate flag is a symbol of the glory of the old South. Many believe that it honors the soldiers who died for what they believed in. Vastly more believe it represents racism, prejudice and hate.
I was reading an article in The State Tuesday, and I was shocked to learn that the reason we miss out on all the March Madness is because of the Stars and Bars. Yes, it seems that having the Confederate flag on State House grounds actually does hurt something — other than the feelings of thousands of residents. The NCAA forbids Columbia from hosting a game, though we have the perfect accommodations, solely because the Confederate flag still flies at our Capitol. Sometimes I wish that Sherman had made Columbia "Famously Hot" like he did Savannah.
Though many respect the Confederate flag, the fact that many others are offended by it means that it has no place at our Capitol. Our Capitol is supposed to be a representation
Likewise, no matter what you believe the Civil War was about, or what the flag represents, too many people are offended by it. It doesn't matter which group — pro-flag or anti-flag — is in the majority. Anything that is that close to 50-50 is too debatable to be on State House grounds.
Whether or not a symbol should be displayed in a public place should be based on consensus. Though the swastika is a symbol of luck to some Hindus and Buddhists, it is a symbol of hate to just about everyone else. And though some former German soldiers may see the Nazi flag as an honor to those who died in the war, it is not allowed to fly in Germany.
of all, not some.
Many rebuke this reasoning by citing that we don't take the American flag down — even though extremists burn it and many Europeans hate it. But the simple fact is that the American flag represents a real country — and here in America, the flag is respected.
We all know the general consensus in the world and in the United States on what the Confederate flag means. Even in the South, you'd be hard-pressed to prove that a majority thinks highly of the Confederate flag.
Hang it on your wall. Fly it on your house. Put it on your boat. I don't care where you put it, just don't put it at the Capitol. Remember, that's my Capitol, too.

Regardless of whether or not you've voted in Student Senate elections, we've got your money. Regardless of whether or not you'll ever ride a KU bus you've already paid $56 per semester to ensure that they'll run.

Composer Franz Liszt will be honored this weekend in a three-day festival where students and pianists from around the world will perform his works.
Pianists from Hong Kong Russia and China will perform this weekend, as well as University students.

Conficker causes little harm
Computer virus successfully blocked despite aggressive attempts
BY JORDAN ROBERTSON
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The Conficker Internet worm's feared April Fools' Day throwdown for control of millions of infected PCs stirred lots of panic but came and went with a whisper.
Security experts say some Conticker-infected computers — those poisoned with the latest
version of the worm — started "phoning home" for instructions more aggressively Wednesday, trying 50,000 Internet addresses instead of 250. However, security companies monitoring the worm remained successful at blocking the communications.

One step closer to championship
Danielle McCray guides Kansas to victory to set up title game on Saturday afternoon
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
All season, junior forward Danielle McCray talked about being Kansas' go-to player, the one who wanted the ball in her hands with the game on the line.
Those thoughts have never been far from McCray's mind, but the situation failed to fully materialize in the season's first 34 games.
That all changed last night when McCray's late bucket sent Kansas to the Women's NIT championship game by defeating Illinois State 75-72 in front of 8,360 fans at Allen Fieldhouse.
With 39 seconds left and Kansas desperately clinging to a three-point lead, McCray grabbed her own miss and completed a three-point play with a zealous scream to give Kansas a 68-62 lead.
"She's always been a kid that's wanted to take big shots and has been capable of hitting big shots," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She loves the pressure and that's what great players do."
McCray has always been Kansas' best, and most consistent, scorer this season. When needed, she has taken over offensively and guided Kansas to victories.
But the magnitude of Wednesday night's game, and the sheer volume of fans in attendance, marked McCray's gutsiest performance this season.
Her three-point play allowed the Jayhawks a cushion, albeit a small one, at a time when the Redbirds were slicing into their lead. That play, the one that had everyone in Allen Fieldhouse on their feet, highlighted a night in
which McCray scored 31.1 points and grabbed six rebounds.
"When my teammates know that I'm excited, they feed off of me," McCray said. "In the second half, I think I put them on my shoulders."
McCray scored 22 points after halftime and helped Kansas build a 16-point second-half lead. But Illinois State trimmed Kansas' lead throughout the second half, getting as close as two points.
The Jayhawks struggled to score down the stretch and fatigue appeared to play a factor when they couldn't get stops late in the game.
Still, Kansas found a way to win — something that probably wouldn't have happened earlier in the season.
"Two months ago, we wouldn't have known what to do," junior guard Sade Morris said. "But we've learned a lot, like how much we have to stay together when those times get that tough."
Illinois State employed a defensive strategy focused solely around limiting the touches and disrupting the comfort levels of McCray and Morris.
And, in the beginning, the approach rattled Kansas' top scorers, who struggled to get clean attempts or simply hold on to the ball.
"I was somewhere else in the beginning of the game," McCray said. "I don't know where I was at."
Enter sophomore center Krysten Boogaard, who McCray said carried Kansas in the first half.
Boogaard was the beneficiary

Walk-off home run helps Kansas split with Missouri

After getting run-ruled in game one by No. 11 Missouri to begin the day, the Jayhawks were in danger of being shut out again in game two. Facing a 1-0 deficit in the bottom of the seventh, the Jayhawks' bats heated up just in time.
Sophomore outfieldier Liz Kocon led off the final frame with a home run to right field to tie the score, and four batters later, junior first baseman Amanda lobe launched a home run of her own, giving Kansas the walk-off 4-1 victory.

McCray leads team to WNIT final game
BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
In the first women's basketball game in April in school his-
lory, which was played in front of the fifth-largest crowd in school history with a trip to Kansas' first WNIT finals on the line, Danielle McCray was average. Well, average for her standards.
The only Kansan on a team whose roster stretches across borders to Saskatchewan and Serbia, it's fitting the native daughter is responsible for pushing layhawk basketball across another threshold.
McCray scored 31 points on 10-of-18 shooting, pulled down six rebounds and blocked two shots in 40 minutes. For 95 percent of the country, that's the game of a lifetime. For McCray, it was Wednesday.
Those points raised her WNIT scoring average by less than a tenth of a percentage point (from 30.67 to 30.75) and it's the sixth time she's scored at least 30 points this season.
It wasn't easy, though. McCray had only five shot attempts at halftime.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said that's the ugliest a team has made McCray play all season. I respectfully disagree.
McCray's beauty isn't in sweet jumpers or crossover dribbles, although she can do both with ease. Rather, the beauty lies in her grit and determination to overtake and out-muscle an opponent.
The Olathe East grad is at her best when she's relentlessly attacking the defense, drawing fouls and scoring seven points in the first four minutes of the second half. The 5-foot-11 guard/forward/beast is at her best when she's cleaning up her own mess to put her team up six with less than 40 seconds to play.
The Jayhawks were shaken by the Redbirds' rally, but McCray's beautifully ugly offense was the calm that kept the ship from capsizing.
After Wednesday's game, McCray shuddered at the mere thought of her friends on other teams in the Big 12 and around the country who were already working for 2010. She realizes only two teams in the country get to end their season with a win, and on Saturday Kansas can do just that.
A championship. The thought alone brightens McCray's eyes and draws her body into a tightly wound ball that's ready to explode with excitement.
Saturday will be extra-special for the honorable mention All-American. It's a chance to put her team's championship banner in the rafters and solidify herself as one of the best to ever don a Kansas jersey.
It's also her first championship game. Ever.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"As for hitting the thing, frankly, I just don't think it it's humanly possible. You could send a blind man up there, and maybe he'd do better hitting at the sound of the thing."
— New York Mets' outfielder John Christensen in George Plimpton's 1985 St. Louis; "The Curious Case of Sadd Fitch," wily redefined as the greatest April Fool's Day food in sports history
FACT OF THE DAY
The first letters of the story's subhead, "He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga — and his future in baseball," spell out "Happy April Fool's Day — ah(a) fb." Despite this and the many absurdities in the story, several people believed it was true and SI had to announce it was a hoak two weeks later.

COMMENTARY
Five-minute guide to 'Recruitapalooza'
So here's the truth. I've never really been all that interested in college basketball recruiting.
There.I said it.
Sure, I want my team to bring in blue-chippers with gold stars by their names, or whatever system they're using nowadays to rate players. But I've never really been all that interested in the soap opera aspects of it.
The constant updates on the lives of 16- and 17-year olds, the preliminary lists that include about 17 schools, and of course, those silly made-for-TV press conferences where the kid puts out a bunch of hats and uses them to select his school of choice.
Yes, you see this Duke hat here! Watch me as I pick it up and place it upon my head, therefore signaling to the world that I shall become a Dukie.
Yea, I never got that.
Like I said, I've never been a recruiting guy. That is, until now

Remember Makolm Gladwell's book The Tipping Point? The worldwide bestseller discussed how social trends move through society, and it seems the sports world isn't immune to this phenomenon.
THE TIPPING PLAYER
Strasburg, a six-foot-four, 255 pound power pitcher with command of his offspeed pitches, struck out 133 batters in 97 innings last year as a sophomore, including 23 in one game against Utah.
It started with a Sports illustrated feature story last month. Soon, ESPN's media machine jumped into the fray. And now, it seems Strasburg mania is taking over the baseball world.

Of course, Strasburg is being advised by everyone's favorite super-agent, Scott Boras. And a report last week suggested that Boras will attempt to negotiate a record $50 million contract for Strasburg, who will likely go No.1 in MLB's amateur draft. Apparently, nobody told Boras about the economic recession.

Police officer resigns after Moats incident
DALLAS — The police officer who pulled out his gun and threatened an NFL player with jail instead of allowing him inside a hospital where his mother-in-law was dying resigned Wednesday.
Officer Robert Powell had been placed on paid leave pending an investigation of the March 18 incident.
"I made this decision in the hope that my resignation will allow the Dallas Police Department, my fellow officers and the citizens of Dallas to better reflect on this experience, learn from the mistakes made and move forward." Powell said in a statement issued through his attorneys.
He had stopped Houston Texas running back Ryan Moats'

The officer pulled out his gun and threatened Moats with jail as the player and his family pleaded to be allowed to go inside the hospital. Powell continued writing Moats a ticket and lecturing him even after a fellow officer confirmed that Moats' mother-in-law was dying.
Jonetta Collinsworth, 45, died of breast cancer before Powell allowed Moats to go inside the hospital.
Powell's resignation was first reported by Dallas-Fort Worth television station KTVT. He later issued an apology, and Moats said he would accept it.
"I still hope to speak with the Moats family to personally express my deep regret, sympathy, and to apologize for my poor judgment and unprofessional conduct," he said in the Wednesday statement.
He also said he wanted to apologize to his fellow officers.
Dallas police Chief David Kunkle previously apologized to the family and said Powell acted inappropriately. He also lauded Moats' restraint, noting that he did not try to seek special treatment by identifying himself as an NFL player.

Junior shortstop David Narodowski crushes a double to right-center field during the first inning against Northern Colorado. Narodowski had three runs and two RBIs in the Jayhawks 15-6 victory against the Bears.
Kansas defeats Northern Colorado 15-6
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
David Noradowski drew a full count over ten pitches, leading off the first inning for Kansas. Then, on the 11th pitch of the at-bat, he roped a double to right-center field. Things only got worse after that for Northern Colorado starter Cameron Tallman in Wednesday nights 15-6 Kansas victory at Hoglund Ballpark.
"That helps us out a ton," sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson said. "It lets us know everything they have. You're probably going to see everything when you have that good of an at-bat."
Narodowski's leadoff double extended his hit streak to 11 games and the Jayhawks abused Tallman — who left the game after eight hitters, five runs and one out — on their way to their biggest first inning of the season. It stole the lead away from the Bears, who had jumped out 2-0 on the strength of
Jarrod Berggren's two-run home run to start the game off.
Junior second baseman Robby Price tried to sacrifice bunt Narodowski over to third and ended up beating the throw for an infield single. Brian Heere followed that with a walk and then back-to-back doubles from Buck Afenir and Thompson opened the game up for Kansas. The first five Jayhawk hitters to come to the plate ended up crossing it in the first.
"That was huge," Thompson said. "We need to come out, especially after they score two runs in the first, and put some numbers on the board, too. Get some runs for the pitching staff to work with."
Afenir and Thompson didn't stop after inning one, though, and ended up combined for nine RBIs in the win, more than half of the Jayhawks' 15.
"We come up in some spots, and I think that happens just with how the top of the order plays," Afenir said. "You can count on David and
Robby and Heere and whoever else is in the mix up there to do some things and get on base. As long as those guys are hitting good it's our job to knock them around the bags."
The layhawks, even after their five-run first inning, never let off the throttle, being held scoreless in only two of the team's trips to the plate.
"One of the things we talked about after the first inning was 'Don't stop scoring, it could take 15 runs to win today.' Coach Ritch Price said. "We have not done a very good job of that, of keeping the foot on the opponent's throat when we've got them down. Today, I thought we kept swinging the bats, kept having good at-bats."
The 15-run explosion on offense was complemented by a solid startling performance by junior right hander Brett Bollman, 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA. After giving up the two-run bomb in the first, Bollman buckled down and didn't surrender
another run in five more innings of work. He worked his way out of a jam in the third after giving up singles to the first two hitters of the inning.
After a pop fly and a strike out, Northern Colorado catcher Seth Budde rapped a ball up the middle off of Bollman's glove. Instead of allowing the Bears to load the bases, though, Narodowski made a great play in the field to go with his offensive success, bare handing and firing to first just in time to nab Budde.
Ritch, who just moved Bollman to a starting role a few weeks ago, said the former reliever was absolutely huge for Kansas against Northern Colorado's potent offense.
"That was crucial," Ritch said. "They can really swing the bats, if you look at their numbers, it's impressive."

Veteran busts weekend slump Senior catcher Buck Afenir drives in five runs with two doubles
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
Coach Ritch Price wasn't happy and he didn't hold his feelings back from Buck Afenir, his senior captain.
He wasn't pleased with Afenir's at-bats the last few games. The senior catcher had failed to produce in key at-bats during the Texas A&M series last weekend.
Afenir wasn't scheduled to catch Tuesday's 8-6 comeback victory, relegated to a mentor role with the younger players in the dugout. But before the game Price decided that Afenir would be the designated hitter.
Then Afenir went 0-for-5 and Price made sure the veteran and Escondido, Calif., native was well aware of how he felt.
"I gave him a chance to DH yesterday, and the quality of his atbats weren't very good," Price said. "Basically, I got on his butt about not being a surfer and being a baseball player."
"We've had a couple midweek performances where we've come out flat," Afenir said. "Today was good for us because we came out with a lot of energy and it showed. Scoring a lot of runs, doing a lot of good things."
That clubhouse-only discussion seemed to click with Afenir. Kansas routed Northern Colorado 15-6 Wednesday with Afenir accounting for two hits in two at-bats with five RBI, the most by any Jayhawk this season.
With Kansas struggling to produce with runners in scoring position, the brunt of those troubles fell on Afenir. As the cleanup hitter, Afenir is expected to drive runs homes when players get on base in front of him. Afenir said it was a relief to finally produce in those situations after struggling the last few games.
"It was nice not only for myself but for the team," he said. "Usually, I come up in those RBI spots. I produced today."
Price said he was very pleased with Alenir's quick turnaround. Kansas is a young team and if its number-four and number-five hitters, sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson, aren't producing, Price's team isn't scoring many runs.
"If Thompson and him don't produce, we don't score," Price said. "That's their job in the middle of that lineup to be productive."
This is only Thompson's second full season starting, and, although he is off to a fast start, he relies on
"I thought the middle of our order did a great job today, especially Buck," Thompson said. "Coming up there with runners in scoring position and driving them in any way he could. You can't ask for much more than that."

Alemir to help bring home as many runs as possible. Without the pressure of batting fourth, Thompson leads the lahayhs in batting average, home runs and RBI.
But Thompson knows this team is only half of what it can be without Afenir's bat one spot ahead of him.

notes
Jayhawks shortstop David Narodowski went 2-for-6 Wednesday, extending his career-high hitting streak to 11 games. Narodowski's hit streak is second to Tony Thompson's now-defunct 23-game stretch from last season. It's the first time two Jayhawks have had double-digit hit streaks in the same year since 2004.
The Jayhawks moved to 14-0 at Hoglund Ballpark this season, which makes them the only Big 12 team not to lose a game at home in a conference that has been exceptional at defending home turf. Teams in the Big 12 have a winning percentage over 81 percent at home. The 14-game streak is the third-longest home win streak in Kansas history.

Jayhawks play with confidence in victory
Freshman forward Aishah Sutherland hits a shot on the basket Wednesday night. Kansas defeated Illinois State 75-22 to move onto the Women's NIT Championship game.

BY CLARK GOBLE

Freshman Aishah Sutherland was feeling so confident with her game Wednesday night that she thought about performing a feat not attempted too often in women's basketball after picking up a steal in the open floor.
With less than two minutes left, the score at 63-59 and only open court in front of her. Sutherland thought about doing the unthinkable.
The Jayhawks looked inside early as they have all season, and Boogaard responded. Within the first two minutes of the game, Boogaard already had two relatively easy layups from post-entry passes. Boogaard said it was definitely part of the game plan to give the post players opportunities.
At times, coach Bonnie Henrickson even played the pair together, a rare sight considering Sutherland primarily plays the same center position that Boogaard does.
"I didn't think anyone was behind me and I slowed down to gather myself," Sutherland said. "And I was going to dunk it."
"I knew I needed to step up and be a presence inside," Boogaard said.
Sophomore center Krysten Boogaard and Sutherland combined to shoot 10-for-12 from the field. They also combined for 14 rebounds and six blocked shots in a 75-72 victory over Illinois State in the semifinals of the Women's NIT.
Although an Illinois State defender knocked the ball out of her hands, it was obvious that Sutherland was playing with confidence — and it wasn't just her.
Sutherland said the reason they haven't played together much before was because sometimes she and Boogaard didn't communicate on the floor.
"You can't play and screen as much as we do and have no chance to throw it in front of the rim!" Hendrickson said. "Krysten and Aishah give us that chance."
"It creates a lot of opportunities." Boogaard said. "It's fun to play with her. She's an athletic post."
Henrickson said her team needs their post players to play well for them to succeed.
of the defensive attention drawn by McCray and Morris. While Illinois State focused on the perimeter, Boogaard continued to work near the basket. She scored 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
Edited by Carly Halvorson
The duo was also a huge presence on the defensive end. Both finished with three blocks each and altered many more. Illinois State star Kristi Cirone simply couldn't deal with their length inside. She finished 7-for-24 from the field, but a lot of her makes came in the final five minutes of the game.
"Tonight we did that well," Sutherland said. "It's good when we can play together because it's just a good turnout."
Even when one of the posts missed, which was rare, the other was there to clean up. With just more than 13 minutes to go in the game, Boogaard drove into the paint and missed her first shot of the contest. Sutherland slipped into the weakside, rebounded the miss and converted the easy putback. Henrickson said the play was huge.
WOMEN'S (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"She got her confidence back," Morris said. "She knows she's unstoppable when she sits on the low block. She's just been a lot more confident."
But as the game wore on it became blatantly clear that McCray wanted to put Kansas on her back. And that's exactly what she did despite logging 40 minutes after playing 39 minutes against New Mexico on Monday night.
"She's an amazing player, "Illinois State coach Robin
Pingeton said. "What a talented player. At times I thought she was getting a little fatigued but she got her second, third and fourth winds."
Now, McCray and the Jayhawks' enter the final game of their season with the chance to finish what few thought was possible just months ago. Kansas will play South Florida for the WNIT championship at 1 p.m., Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.
"We talked about not celebrating the fact that we were in the WNIT but we would celebrate when we won a championship" Henrickson said. "And we've put ourselves in a position to have that opportunity."

Senior guard ivana Catic draws a charge Wednesday night against Illinois State. Catic had five rebounds with six assists in the Jayhawks 75-72 victory.
VIEW FROM PRESS ROW
ITWAS OVER WHEN ...
Junior for ward Danielle McCray grabbed her own rebound and completed a three-point play to give Kansas a 68-62 lead. Up until that point Illinois State had been cutting into Kansas' lead. But McCray's play allowed the Jayhawks to maintain a somewhat comfortable lead and re-energized the crowd inside Allen Fieldhouse.
GAMETO REMEMBER ...
Sophomore center Krysten Boogaard
More than any other Jayhawk, Krysten Boogaard's season has been filled with ups and downs. First, she was injured at the beginning of the year. Then, she struggled for large stretches during Big 12 play. Now, she's pieced together two solid performances, including 18 points and seven rebounds against Illinois State. Boogaard's inside presence allowed Kansas to maintain a lead in the second half.

GAME TO FORGET ...
Illinois State's Kristi Cirone.
Sure, Cirone scored 24 points, but Illinois State's leading scorer struggled to get going on offense. She made just 7-of-24 attempts and missed all six of her three-pointers. In the final game of her decorated collegiate career, Cirone certainly would have liked to play better.

PRIMEPLAYS
FIRSTHALF
19:26 — Sophomore Krysten Boogaard secured good post position and junior Sade Morris fed it inside to her. Using the extra room provided by her four-inch height advantage over Illinois State's Ashleen Bracey, Boogaard banked it home. She finished the half with eight points on four of four shooting.
9:40 — Illinois State star Kristi Cirone caught it underneath the basket with her back to the goal, but she was able to spin it softly over her head of the glass to give the Redbirds a three point lead. The Illinois State crowd, who travelled well, reacted accordingly.
4:02 — Freshman Aishah Sutherland grabbed the post entry pass, turned and kissed it off the glass to put the Jayhawks up 25-19. At the time, it was the biggest lead of the half for either team and prompted a timeout from the Illinois State bench.
SECOND HALF
16:20 — Junior Danielle McCray drove into the paint, but she ran into a couple Illinois State defenders. It looked like she would be unable to get a shot up. But, like McCray has done all season, she drew the foul and found a way to sneak the ball in for the basket. McCray converted the three-point play to put the Jayhawks up 44-28.
9:20 — Illinois State had cut the Jayhawk lead to single-digits. Who stepped up? It wasn't too hard to guess: McCray. She held the ball for the entire possession, drove past her defender on the wing and finished the easy two.
:02 — Sutherland used her length to bother Illinois State inbounder Kenyatta Shelton, and the Illinois State desparation attempt at a game-tying three ended with the ball flying over all Redbird players and into the arms of Kansas junior LaChelda Jacobs. Jacobs tossed it to McCray, who chucked it into the air in celebration. 75-72, Jayhawks.

GAMENOTES
FANS SHOW UP
Never in coach Bonnie Henrickson's five-year tenure has Kansas played so late in the postseason. And never in that stretch have so many fans filled Allen Fieldhouse to watch Henrickson's team play. The announced crowd was 8,360, and those fans became loud as the score tightened down the stretch.
"People love basketball around here and they appreciate players who work hard and are successful around here,"coach Bonnie Henrickson.
MCCRAY NEARS WNIT
RECORD
That total marked the third consecutive game in which McCray scored at least 30 points.
Once again, junior forward Danielle McCray turned in another noteworthy performance, scoring 31 points and grabbing six rebounds.
while also moving her closer to the WNIT record books. McCray needs just seven points to become the all-time leading scorer in the WNIT.
The current scoring leader is Wisconsin's Jolene Anderson, who totaled 129 points in 2007.
LAST GAME FOR SENIORS
Saturday's championship game will mark the final game for Kansas' three seniors and junior Rebecca Feickert, who is graduating early and will not return to the basketball team.
Seniors Ivana Catic, Katie Smith and Marija Zinic will join Feickert in playing their final games in Kansas uniforms.
"I'm definitely going to have to spend some time to prepare for that but not let it influence me in a bad way," Catic said.

Glaus out for at least two months

St. Louis Cardinals' Troy Gauzies tosses his batting helmet after striking out in a baseball game against the Colorado Rockies in St. Louis last April. His expect is to miss at least two months following a setback in his rehabilitation from arthritic shoulder surgery in January.
Third baseman recovers after shoulder surgery
R. B. FALLSTROM Associated Press
ST. LOUIS - Cardinals third baseman Troy Glaus is expected to miss at least two months following a setback in his rehabilitation from arthroscopic shoulder surgery in January.
Glaus was originally expected to miss only a few weeks of the regular season. But on Wednesday, St Louis said Glaus, who hit .270 last season with 27 homers and 99 RBIs, will be re-evaluated around June 1.
"It's just not responding as quickly as wed hoped." Glaus said in Jupiter, Fla. "It obviously didn't go as smoothly or uneventfully as we had hoped."
David Freese is the top candidate to start at third with Glaus out. The 25-year-old rookie, acquired from the Padres for Jim Edmons in 2007, hit .306 with 26 homers and 91 RBIs at Triple-A Memphis last season.
General manager John Mozeliak told The Associated Press that Glaus might have pushed too hard in his rehab schedule. He said Glaus' progress would be assessed in a few weeks.
"Sometimes, being overly optimistic can hurt you." Mozelak says "When a player is aggressive trying to move, sometimes it can affect him."
Glaus began throwing, hitting
off a tee and fielding ground balls midway through spring training, but stopped after soreness lingered longer than expected. He was examined in California last week by Dr. Lewis Yocum, who performed the surgery.
Glaus will be in St. Louis for opening day on Monday, then travel to Phoenix to continue his rehab. He'll be working with physical therapist Keith Kocher, who helped Glaus rehab from shoulder
surgery in 2004.
"A new set of eyes and a new set of hands can maybe figure something that, I don't want to say was missed, but maybe something that wasn't recognized." Glaus said.
Earlier in spring training, Glaus said the shoulder injury bothered him most of the last two months of last season. The Cardinals tried to avoid surgery, administering a cortisone injection during the season and another in the offseason before
medical personnel determined the shoulder wasn't responding.
The surgery repaired the labrum and in Glau's words, "smoothed down some rough edges" in the shoulder from an injury that doctors believe was a result of ordinary wear and tear. The Cardinals will end up paying for the delay.
"We ran through the course of treatment as you should and ultimately, unfortunately, the pain didn't go away." Glaus said.
Stallworth charged with manslaughter
NFL
Cleveland Browns wide receiver killed pedestrian while driving drunk
BY CURT ANDERSON Associated Press
Associated Press
MIAMI — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth was charged Wednesday with killing a pedestrian last month while driving drunk in Miami, according to people familiar with the case.
Two people said an arrest warrant charging the 28-year-old Stallworth with DUI manslaughter will be filed Wednesday in the March 14 accident that killed 59-year-old Mario Reyes. The people requested anonymity because the charges haven't been announced.
18
The charge carries a possible 15-year prison sentence. Stallworth's blood-alcohol level after the crash was .12, well above Florida's legal limit of .08, according to results of a blood test. Stallworth will also be charged with DUI, according to the people informed about the case.
A Miami Beach police report said that Reyes was not in a crosswalk on busy MacArthur
Stallworth, who is expected to surrender in court Thursday, released a statement last month saying he was "grief-stricken" over the accident.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth says he is "grief strenken" over his car accident that killed a pedestrian on March 14.
Causeway when he was struck by the Bentley luxury car driven by Stallworth. The construction crane operator was trying to catch a bus home after finishing his shift around 7:15 a.m.
The report also quoted Stallworth saying he flashed his lights at Reyes in an attempted warning and that he was driving about 50 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Royals trade first baseman, outfielder Gload to Marlins Team will pay majority of his $1.9 million guaranteed contract
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals traded first baseman and outfielder Ross Gload to the Florida Marlins on Wednesday for a player to be named and cash.
The Royals have agreed to pay most of Gload's $1.9 million guaranteed contract. General manager Dayton Moore said the Royals would receive a minor league player. The Marlins will also get a player in the deal.
Also, the Royals optioned right-hander Brian Bannister to Triple-A Omaha and released right-hander Joel Peralta. Left-hander Bale, who is recovering from thyroid surgery, was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 27.
And manager Trey Hillman said Sidney Ponson would be the fourth starter and work the home opener April 10 against the New York Yankees.
Left-hander Horacio Ramirez will be the No. 5 starter but would also work out of the bullen.
Gload hit. 280 in 22 games for the Royals in spring training. He was acquired from the White Sox in 2006 and hit. 273 in a career-high 122 games last season.
"It is always shocking," said Gload, who hit .280 with two home runs and 12 RBIs in 50 atbats in spring training.

NFL Broncos' coach McDaniels chases off OB Cutler
Instead, McDaniels begins his coaching regime with the Denver Broncos by chasing off his franchise quarterback before he even saw Cutler throw a single pass.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Josh McDaniels and Jay Cutler seemed like a perfect fit — the rocket-armed passer meets the offensive guru who turned Matt Cassel from a career backup into one of the league's top quarterbacks.
Team owner Pat Bowlen announced this week he will allow his new brain trust of McDaniels, 32, and general manager Brian Xanders, 37, to "begin discussions with other teams in an effort to accommodate his request to be traded."
The Broncos insist they tried to call a truce, but Cutler wouldn't pick up his phone. As has been the case, Xanders and McDaniels declined comment Wednesday through a team spokesman.
Cutler became angry once he learned that McDaniels and the Broncos showed interest in acquiring Cassel, who McDaniels groomed in New England last season after Tom Brady went down in the opener with a knee injury.
Cassel ended up being dealt to Kansas City, but Cutler was infuriated when he found out about the trade talks. His distrust in McDaniels only grew in two subsequent meetings that were designed to clear the air.

Dixon favored to repeat IRL victory Driver to head to season-opener Sunday in St. Petersburg
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Everything seems to favor Scott Dixon in his bid to win a second straight IRL IndyCar Series championship.
Helio Castroneve, the 2008 runner-up who pushed Dixon to last season's final checkered flag, will miss at least the first few
races of 2009 while defending himself against federal tax evasion charges.
And 2007 series champion Dario Franchitti, Dixon's new teammate at Target Chip Ganassi Racing
"To try and repeat 2008 is going to be very tough."
and considered by many his major challenger may take a while to shake off the rust after a failed bid to transition to NASACR last year.
Dixon, meanwhile, heads into the season-opening race at St. Petersburg on Sunday with the same strong team that took him to his second series title last season.
SCOTT DIXON
NASCAR Driver
But the New Zealander laughed when a reporter said it looks like he has an easier road this year to another IndyCar championship.
"Yeah, right," he said, shaking his head. "To try and repeat 2008 is going to be very tough. ... We definitely are going to have a target on our backs and it's going to be a hard season.
"Its a shame that Helio is having to go through this and will miss the start of the season, but there are plenty of drivers, including my teammate, that are going to make this one of the most competitive seasons ever in our series."
Castroneves, the personable Brazilian as well known for winning "Dancing with the Stars" as for his two Indianapolis 500 victories, is also at risk of having his racing career short.
Franchitti, whose NASCAR
experiment ended abruptly last summer due to a lack qf sponsorship, is confident he can get up to speed in an IndyCar fast enough to be a threat for a second championship.
"I felt good at the (offseason) tests," he said. "It came back quickly and, being with this team, with all the resources that Chip
gives them, is a big help, too."
Franchitti, who won his title with Andretti Green Racing, also expects a hard-fought championship battle from former AGR teammate Tony Kanaan, Team Penske drivers Ryan Briscoe and
Will Power — the at least temporary replacement for Castroneves — and possibly several others
Unlike the chaotic start to last season, which began just six weeks after the unexpected unification of IndyCar and longtime rival Champ Car, the drivers and teams that made that transition now have all the latest equipment and a year's worth of experience with the cars and the tracks.
"I know some
"I know some of the drivers and teams who made the transition last year from Champ Car had to figure everything out because it was so new, particularly the ovals," Franchi said.
"But they're very good and I won't be surprised if somebody like Newman/Haas/Lanigan (Racing), with Graham Rahal) and Robert) Doornibos, are very competitive."
"I think more than ever this year it will be about winning races," said Kanaan, last year's third-place finisher and the 2004 series champion. ("Last year) Helio showed
how consistent you can be and still not win a championship, and Dixon showed that winning races is the best way. It's a combination, but winning races this year is going to be more important."
Dixon matched the season-record of six victories in 2008, but didn't wrap up the title until the final points race of the year as Castronews applied the pressure. The Brazilian gave Dixon a scare with both of his season wins, four runner-up finishes and a third all coming in the final seven races of the season.
"We did not deliver as much as we should have last year. I think we failed on the driver's side to get it done."
Lack of consistency was a problem for AGR last year, with its four drivers combining for just two wins, 21 top-five finishes and 40 top-10s in 68 starts.
But, for the first time since 2005, the team's lineup returns intact, led by Kanan. He is joined by Danica Patrick, coming off a year in which racing's glamor girl finally got her long-awaited first victory and improved to sixth place in the points, 22-year-old Marco Andretti, son of team coowner and longtime driving great Michael Andretti, and 2008 rookie of the year Hideki Mutoh.
TONY KANAAN
NASCAR Driver
"Continuity is definitely a nice
thing," said Michael Andretti, whose team has won three titles in the last five seasons. "There's no adjusting going on. That's always good because you can hit it strong right away. Everybody knows everybody. That definitely a positive for us."
Kanaan expects big improvement from everyone.
"Last year was a year we could say, 'Oh, they're young, they're learning,' but now it's time to do it." Kanaan said. "We did not deliver as much as we should have last year. I think we failed on the driver's side to get it done. We talked, and this year we're saying, 'No excuses.'"

The Jayhawks did a solid job containing the Tiger's speedy leadoff hitter Rhea Taylor. The sophomore outfielder had only two hits in her nine at bats, but she still made her presence felt with two steals and one run scored.
With Kansas' walk-off victory in game two, coach Tracy Bunge is now only one victory away from 400 as coach at Kansas. She will have a chance to achieve that milestone on Saturday, when the Jayhawks will play Texas Tech.

Machines will turn exercise into power
ENERGY
BY AMANDA THOMPSON
athompson@kansan.com
Working out at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center will soon be about more than powering muscles.
It will also be about powering the building.
In the fall, 15 elliptical machines will be revamped with new technology that captures the energy used by students to move the machine and turns it into renewable electric power.
Andrew Stanley, Overland Park
senior, found the ReRive company

The technology, called ReCardio, comes from a company called ReRev in Florida. The Envision coalition worked with the Student Environmental Advisory Board to provide funding for the project. The SEAB agreed this week to fund the recreation center with $15,900 to pay for the new upgrades.

Department eyes record attendance for title game
BY ADAM SAMSON asamson@kansan.com
In Kansas' first and second round NIT match-ups, the total attendance for each game never topped 2,000 fans.
This wasn't the semifinal victory against the Illinois State Redbirds. Kansas' attendance, 8,360, vaulted it into the No. 5 spot on the Allen Fieldhouse single-game attendance record list for women's games.
The expectations for attendance numbers at Saturday's 1 p.m. WNIT championship game against South Florida at 1 p.m. were set high, said Jim Marchiony, associated athletics director.
"Our goal is to break the attendance record, which is 13,352," Marchiony said. "I see it as a realistic goal."
Wednesday's game was the first KU basketball game to be played in the Fieldhouse in April. Marchiony said. He also said that the WNIT championship would mark the first time a national championship game was held in the Fieldhouse.

"I think this is great for the women's basketball program because of the attention it receives," Marchiony said. "It is also good for the athletic department and University as a whole with positive publicity generated by the success."

2. Obama: G-20 has taken right steps for economy
CUERNAVACA, Mexico — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that more inspections of vehicles headed into Mexico and stepped-up intelligence gathering on the U.S. side of the border would be part of an effort by both nations to choke off arms traffic into Mexico.
LONDON — President Barack Obama said he believed the leaders of the G-20 had taken the necessary steps to keep the world's economy from sliding into depression. Whether they are sufficient or not, he said the world will have to "wait and see."
"On the Mexican side, more uniform and routine collection of arms tracing" will be required, Napolitano said.
Obama said the G-20 leaders had applied "the right medicine" and "stabilized" the economy. But he said wounds still had to heal and emergencies could still arise.
3. Toy company unhappy that pastor disfigures dolls
ZIRNDORF, Germany — For more than two years, the German pastor Markus Bomhard has been setting up Playmobil toys in biblical scenes and photographing them to illustrate his online version of the Good Book.
The manufacturers of the line of Playmobil figures, Geobra Brandstaetter GmbH&Co., accused Bomhard of copyright infringement.
On Thursday, however, they said they were willing to work with him to find a way he can keep the site.
Playmobil does not object to biblical scenes. The problem is doll mutilation. For example, the dolls' arms were deformed heat by to nail them on the cross.

Tastes like: Panera Bread
Price range: S8-$11
When first coming to Ingredient, I expected the restaurant to have more of a cafe atmosphere and serve standard sandwiches and salads. Instead, Ingredient lived up to its name. Both the salad and pizza I ordered tasted like they were made fresh with the best ingredients. Plus the portions were large enough to share.
Review: Besides the various pizzas, sandwiches and salads on its

menu, Ingredient lets customers be the chefs by allowing them to create their own salad or pizza. Customers can choose from more than 85 ingredients for salads and 25 ingredients for pizzas.
Price range: $8-$11
What I ate: Wild mushroom pizza:
Wild mushrooms, fresh herbs,
caramelized onions, alfredo sauce
and brie cheese, $9.95 and Caesar
salad: Hearts of romaine, shaved
parmesan cheese and roasted
garlic croutons, $7.95 Add grilled
chicken $2, portobella mushrooms
$2.50
The decor had a modern edge but the restaurant felt informal because customers ordered food at the counter, and then the server brought it to them. The service was a little slow, but worth the wait since the food was made fresh. Since Ingredient sits on a corner and has floor-to-ceiling windows, it's a nice place to eat with friends and watch the people passing by on Mass Street.
The prices at Ingredient are a little high for a college student's budget, but are offset considering the large portions of food and its no-tipping policy. Instead of tipping, Ingredient suggests giving a few dollars to charity, performing a random act of kindness or putting a quarter in an expired
parking meter.
Ingredient is open Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Lawrence Mayor Mike Dever and Tampa, Fla., Mayor Pam lorio made a friendly wager yesterday at 1 p.m. via conference call, on the outcome of the Women's NIT Championship basketball game between the Jayhawks and South Florida University.
Both mayors agreed the loser would wear the winner's colors to work for a day. Dever would wear green and gold if the Bulls won andorio would wear crimson and blue if the Jayhawks sealed a victory.
Dever said he hoped the University didn't lose to USF again.
Iorio said she was a big Bulls fan and received her master's degree from USF.
"Last time we played USF we lost in Tampa in football," Dever said. "I don't have very good memories of that game."
"This is a historic game," lorio said. "I hope it's a wonderful game and a very spirited game."

Studies say that people who walk between 30 and 60 minutes a day will live longer than those who don't. A pedometer can help measure steps walked in a day.
Four myths for long life contain truth
HEALTH
Two experts debate health facts & fiction
BY MICOLE ARONOWITZ
maronowitz@kansan.com
Staving healthy can be confusing. So many food and lifestyle plans exist, from organic to low-sodium to low-carb, that it can be hard to separate myth from reality. Lynn Marotz, assistant professor in the applied behavioral science department, and Anne Chapman, coordinator of nutrition services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, discuss the fact and fiction in these four health myths.
Myth 1: Drinking tea lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Marotz said as far as the studies are concerned, this claim is still pretty controversial. She said there was not a good consensus about the benefits of tea.
ous about that, they should go to a place that sells loose tea leaves," Marotz said. "They have to learn how to brew it themselves, the right way, in order to get the benefit out of it."
"All teas - white tea, black tea and green tea - all have some kind of antioxidant properties," Chapman said.
Chapman said there were antioxidants found in teas that do protect the heart.
the puppets in his studio.
According to the article "surprising Signs You'll Live Longer Than You Think," on msn.com, people who walk for about 30 minutes a day are more likely to live longer than those who walk less.
Lott said he always wanted to be a puppeteer, becoming interested in it from watching "too much Sesame Street." He started making his own puppets in fifth grade by converting stuffed animals into puppets.
Myth 2: Walking at least thirty minutes a dave keeps you fit.
Chapman said it was important to walk between 30 and 60 minutes a day.
"If a person were really seri-
roughly five miles, a day, Marotz said. Participants wore a pedometer to keep track of how many steps they took each day.
"It reduces your risk for disease and promotes longevity and reduces stress," Chapman said.
"Its an easy way to exercise," Marotz said. "The idea is to keep moving. Studies have shown that people who walk more tend to live longer."
The same article said these foods get their rich color from polyphenols, which reduce heart disease risk and may also protect against Alzheimer's disease.
PUPPETS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Myth 3: Eating purple foods such as grapes and blueberries keeps your blood vessels healthy.
One national campaign called for people to walk 10,000 steps.
"They are all equally important," Marotz said. "The problem with pulling one out, and saying this is what you need to eat more of, is that you miss out on all of the rest."
Since then, he has made literally
hundreds of puppets. Depending on the complexity, it can take Lott anywhere from a few hours to hundreds of hours to make one puppet.
Marotz disagrees with this claim.
She said there was no superfood.
She said eating a diet that was colorful was key to getting all the vitamins and minerals needed.

Chapman also said it was essen-
According to a Harvard Medical School study, people with more than 12 years of formal education live 18 months longer on average than those with fewer years of schooling. Researchers hypothesize that this is because people with more education are less likely to smoke.
Myth 4: Staying in school will help you live longer.
"One of the recommendations is to eat a rainbow of foods," Chapman said.
"They're never really done," he said. "I just get tired of working on them to a certain point and then I move on."
Chapman said that education is power.
"The more educated people are, the more apt they are to make healthy decisions." Chapman said.
When Lott and his roommates were looking for a place to live, Lott said having a room for his puppets was a must. Lott pays twice the rent he pays for one room for himself
Marotz said all people make bad decisions now and then. But she said it helps to surround yourself with people who do positive things, and that people with more education make more informed decisions.

- he pays for one room for himself
and one room for his puppets
"It's kind of absurd," he said. "But this is my passion and this is how I pay for rent, building puppets and doing shows, it's totally worth it."
Matt Cain, Leawood junior and Lott's roommate, said Lott was "spontaneous" and kept the house entertaining with his puppeteering and acting antics.
"He goes around doing different voices sometimes." Cain said.
But for Lott, the different voices
of characters are only one part of the creative process. He has presented other shows for libraries, schools and has held local workshops for children or interested students.
Two years ago, Lott was also one of 50 people chosen from the United States and Canada to attend a workshop with Sesame Street "muppeteers." Last semester, he designed the puppets for "The King Stag," a production by the University of Kansas Theatre for Young People.
He is currently creating two puppets — a depressed Russian horse and a Japanese bamboo spirit — for three one-act operas that KU Opera will perform later this month.
When he graduates next May, Lott said he wanted to do a national tour like "Sesame Street Live" or "Walking with Dinosaurs" before possibly attending the University of Connecticut, which has a master's program in puppetry.
ating puppets and sharing his work with others. Lott said pupeteers are not like magicians, who might spend 20 years working on a trick and keep the secret of the trick from their audiences.
"Puppeteers are like 'It's taken me 20 years to learn this trick and I'm going to give it to you the first time I meet you so that you can take it and make it better," he said.
For now, Lott plans to keep cre-

Stanley said he thought the project would be a good way for sustainability efforts to be linked directly to the University.
"We have good ideas and everyone talks about sustainability, but I haven't seen a lot of new things coming from it," Stanley said. "I thought this would be a good opportunity for something to come of it. We could show we're really committed, and not just talking about it."
The elliptical machines will be equipped with LCD boards to show students how much energy they are putting back into the building. Stanley thought the boards would prove important in getting student attention for the project.
"Maybe they're not traditionally thinking about energy, but they're seeing it in front of their faces so hopefully we can spark a dialogue that way," Stanley said.

Before Stephanopoulos speaks at the Kansas Union, he plans to stop at the Lawrence Community Shelter to visit an old friend.
- Edited by Justin Leverett
Loring Henderson, executive director of the shelter, volunteered at a soup kitchen in Washington D.C. with Stephanopoulos for about ten years. Their friendship has lasted 27 years and it was Henderson's idea to ask Stephanopoulos to visit Lawrence and speak at the Kansas Union.
"He's a friend and it's nice to have him out here anyway just to see what I'm doing." Henderson said. "We're getting ready to at some point launch a capital campaign and move to a bigger shelter, so having him come here to raise awareness about the situation as a whole just seemed like a good idea."
After taking a tour and spending time with people in the shelter, Stephanpoulos is expected to discuss the rising numbers of homeless people and what can be done about it, Saunders said.

LAWRENCE Piano bar holds opening features dueling pianists
Associated Press
Last night was the grand opening for Lawrence's new dueling piano bar, The Barrel House, 729 New Hampshire St., which was originally scheduled to open March 26.
"We want people to be impressed so we want to do things right the first time instead of having to fix it once we open," Emily said. "This whole week we've gotten very little sleep."
Construction delays and a wait for materials to arrive caused twin sisters and Prairie Village seniors Emily and Alex Akers to rethink their bar's opening date.
— Michelle Sprehe
The Barrel House is open from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. tonight and tomorrow night. Regular hours are Monday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Dueling piano entertainment is on Thursday through Saturday, beginning at 8 p.m.
"We just want to make sure everyone's satisfied when they walk out," Emily said. "It's going to be a bumpy ride in the beginning but after this weekend we'll have smooth sailing."

The bar has entertainment booked for the next six months and all of the VIP lounges are reserved for this weekend. Emily, Alex and their business partner Danny Williams gave tours of the bar before opening and received positive feedback.

'Rescue Me' returns to put out, kindle more fires
Associated Press
This FX drama has dared to picture New York City firefighters as loutish, madcap and self-destructive — not just heroic. At its core is Denis Leary, whose titles on the show include co-creator, co-executive producer and writer, plus his starring role as Tommy Gavin, a flawed champion among New York's.
TELEVISION
TWO LOVERS
NEW YORK — "Rescue Me" has been playing with fire since the start.
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
As always, it's a volatile mix of action, heart, raciness and dark humor.
Bravest.
After much too long, "Rescue Me" returns for its fifth season Tuesday at 10 p.m. EDT, kicking off an extra-long run of 22 episodes.
While the series has a raw topicality, it's rooted in the ruins of 9/11. Among Tommy's fellow firefighters who lost their lives that day, a cousin (and Tommy's best friend) died at ground zero, later haunting him in visions.
But there are also fires to put out, of course. This explains why
WEEKEND TIMES ONLY! • ADULTS $8.00 • $6.00(MATINEE), SENIOR
EARN $40 TODAY.
$80 THIS WEEK.
This season, Tommy's wounds are reopened (and his hacks raised) when a sexy French journalist arrives at the firehouse, researching the tragedy for a coffee table book to mark the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
Guest stars have always sparked "Rescue Me," and this season is no different. First up: Michael J. Fox in a multi-episode arc gets under Tommy's skin as the obnoxious guy dating Tommy's estranged wife.
This sequence, from an episode to air late this season, will show the men of 62 Truck responding to a call at a blazing brownstone. It will also introduce a character played by guest star Maura Tierney, who pulls up in a cab to find her home on fire, then defies Tommy's efforts to bar her entry with a swift kick to his privates.

Athletes set records with impressive GPAs

Too often, we hear stories about collegiate teams cracking under pressure and committing "foul" play — recruiting violations, grade inflation, even outright cheating. It's refreshing to be a part of a university that excels not only on the court, but also in the classroom, sans controversy.

OPINION

special? Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director, said a number of factors went into student athletes' positive
academic showing. First, he said students had to be self-motivated to do well. Bechard agreed,saying the University recruited good students who managed their time well. Second, Marchiony credited the faculty with understanding the pressure student athletes felt to perform well and to juggle time effectively, especially at a Division 1 school.
And lastly, we need to credit the University support staff, a network of student and faculty tutors, who Marchionny described as dedicated individuals who knew what they
were doing and who cared about the athletes. Mayfield takes advantage of the offered help, going to four hours of tutoring per week. Bechard said very few universities created the kind of atmosphere for success like the University did.
"I feel that at KU you are surrounded by people who truly care not only how well you are doing on the court/field but also about how well you are doing in your classes," Mayfield said. "If we ever needed help with anything, there would be five people to sit down and help us."
The University has been able to stand out amongst competition athletically and academically. So next time you see an athlete walking down lajhawk Blvd., heading off to class, give them a high-five or a well deserved pat on the back for putting in the effort, and hours, to contribute to the University on and off the court.

"BUY THESE KICKS AND BE LIKE JAY-Z!"
I'LL TAKE 'ENY!'
BEN COLDHAM
Hip-hop may sell, but fans hope genre won't sell out
As everyone knows,sex sells. What the corporate world has learned progressively throughout the past 20 years is that hip-hop does as well. Although initially reluctant to accept hip-hop as the marketing gem it was bound to become,it didn't take long for big business to come around after observing the near-infinite buying potential of the hip-hop community.
Today, elements of hip-hop culture are used as strategic tools in national advertising campaigns of a wide variety of popular brands. Television viewers alone can turn on their set and see Jay-Z selling Hewlett-Packard PCs and even Jeezy hocking Boost cell phones. But things were not always this way.
Despite the sharp increase of hip-hop album sales during the 1980s, mainstream corporations were hesitant at first to engage in endorsement deals with hip-hop artists. Unfortunately, the general consensus is that the cause for this reluctance was rooted in the lingering, racist assumptions of a handful of bigoted but powerful board members.
As the years went by and the national popularity of hip-hop skyrocketed, however, corporations could not help but notice the level of exposure hip-hop was receiving in the form of music, graffiti and general style in the streets (not to mention record sales). Then, in 1986, Adidas signed groundbreaking hip-hop group Run-DMC to a $1 million endorsement deal, and

as a result enjoyed the explosive success of its "Superstar" shoe, the iconic style worn by all three members of the group. This deal completely changed the game. Hip-hop was becoming mainstream and, sure enough, one by one other corporations began to follow, lured by the buying power of a devoted target audience and reassured by the enormous success of the Adidas campaign. Since then, hip-hop has garnered the attention of corporations seeking to profit from hip-hop's influence on popular culture and the psyche of the young consumer today.
This emergence of hip-hop as a social force inevitably inspired the formation of a new breed of company and new methods of reaching the street-wise rap fans. Several brands founded in the past decade have experienced tremendous success targeting the hip-hop consumer because they are founded and developed by popular hip-hop figures themselves. Designer clothing lines such as Sean "Diddy" Combs' Sean John and lay-Z's Rocawear labels speak directly to their hip-hop audience. These brands continue to be successful because they stress what hip-hop heads look for in every product: credibility and authenticity.

Hip-hop is big business today. All companies want consumers to do is buy, buy and buy some more, which is what makes their relationships with hip-hop a match made in heaven, because it seems all the hip-hop consumer wants to do is spend, spend and spend some more, whether it be on sneakers, CDs or even Cristal in the club. Corporations love the money and hip-hop loves the exposure (as well as the money), and this adds up to a lucrative trend for both parties.
Although they may have gotten off to a rocky start, corporate advertising and the hip-hop world have joined forces during the past decade and will remain that way because they share one primary interest: making dough. We can only hope that the fortune and exposure advertising brings won't blind hip-hop artists and cause them to lose their creative way. Peace.

leachers turn to advertising to find classroom funding
BY JUSTIN HUGGINS
U. of Arizona Arizona Daily Wildcat
There's no money in teaching. We've all come to understand that
Last week the Associated Press reported that an Idaho teacher struck a sponsorship deal with a local pizza shop in an effort to save money.The pizza parlor agreed to supply paper for the teacher's five classes as long as its ad appeared on each page. Ten thousand sheets of paper, enough for the rest of the year and all of next, cost the pizzeria $315.
accept that discouraging truth. Teachers have long purchased their own school supplies as schools' budgets evaporate. But now teachers are having to think outside the box in order to cover their most essential classroom expenses.
Jeb Harrison now hands out exams with the ad printed along the bottom of every page. The school district in which Harrison teaches is facing a budget shortfall of nearly $10 million next year, and the district is freezing spending on school supplies, teacher training and field trips. One can hardly fault Harrison for donning salesman's hat, but is this what we've come to as a society? Are we willing to shortchange our children's education for a few bucks?
I concede that many of us are corporate spokeswhores, splattered with labels from head to toes. We're all just walking billboards, and that's fine. But I draw the line at educators having to sell their classrooms to make ends meet.
Our priorities are askew. We value F-22s more than books and paper. We place education on the chopping block first. To us, education is optional and disposable.
But as long as we consider education expendable, we're hindering our collective future. We must realize that our future isn't a bank with slipshod lending habits or a car manufacturer that makes inefficient vehicles or a company that rewards incompetent executives. Our future is sitting in a classroom somewhere. Our future is learning from a teacher, not an ad salesman. The only thing teachers should promote is education. Let's just hope the government isn't counting on the nation's pizzerias to bail out our struggling schools. Otherwise, we're doomed.
Susan Linn, a Harvard psychologist and director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, said, "When teachers start becoming pitchmen for products, children suffer and their education suffers as well" I don't know about you, but a big red ad for pizza at the bottom of the page would surely distract me while I was trying to concentrate on an exam.
Beyond these concerns lies a fundamental objection to selling ad space in the classroom. We should value education enough to fund it, period. If we can bail out automakers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, AIG and countless banks, we should be able to fund our schools. If we can fund trillion-dollar wars, why can't we fund Jeb Harrison's classroom without the help of ad revenue?

Students should care about local elections
Continuing battles over economic development will determine whether Lawrence remains a hip university town or turns into a suburb of a suburb of KC and Topeka. I pay rent, i buy food and gas and clothes here, I spend lots of money downtown and at Lawrence stores, so it's important to me that I have a voice in helping Lawrence stay, well, Lawrence-v.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
And the school board elections concern us as well, even if we don't have children or don't
Advance voting is open for Lawrence city commission and Lawrence school board elections. Voting early is easy and fast. Show your ID, vote, you're outta there. For those of you thinking, "What do I care about Lawrence city commission? I'm at KU," I'd challenge you to learn more and rethink your approach. Local elections are often as important, if not more important, than elections for national offices, because it is the few people on our city commission who make decisions about the city bus system, the 'rental registry' (which will definitely affect you if you rent a house or apartment in Lawrence!) and other issues that affect us as KU students.
plan to. School boards are the arbiters of school curricula and what children learn in schools is often carried through into their later belief systems. The children of the elementary and high schools today are the students who will be sitting in the desks in KU classrooms tomorrow. The policies that the school board adopts today will be the ones our kids or nieces and nephews are subject to in a few years.
As KU students we may have an even heightened responsibility to be at least involved enough to take 20 minutes to read up on the candidates (check the local paper or grab a web address from the yard signs all over town!) and another 10 minutes to drive downtown to the courthouse at 11th and Mass. to vote. College is a time and this University is a place where we are already thinking about lots of these issues in our courses and debating them with friends. I came to the University because I liked Lawrence's vibe; I vote because I want the vibe to carry on. I'm proud to be a Jayhawk and even though I might only be living in Lawrence for a few years, I do live here now and I do want my voice to be heard. So should you!

Educating on global warming through mathematics
BY MICOLE ARONOWITZ maronowitz@kansan.com
maronowitz@kansan.com
The department of mathematics at the University of Kansas is taking an active role in global warming and climate change by educating students through workshops, speakers and a math competition.
April is Mathematics Awareness Month and this year's theme is mathematics and climate. On Saturday more than 300 students from area elementary, junior high and high schools will compete in a math competition sponsored by the mathematics department. Mathematics graduate students will be teaching elementary students how math pertains to the climate through interactive presentations.
Bozenna Pasik-Duncan, chairwoman of Math Awareness Month and mathematics professor, said math is used as a basis for solving the issues of climate change and in particular, global warming.
She said mathematicians try to model those uncertainties and make predictions based on that information.
"Calculus, differential equations, probability and statistics are just some of the areas of mathematics that are used for the understanding of the oceans, polar ice caps and the complex interactions among all those systems," Pasik-Duncan said.
"In climate change you can better predict catastrophes such as earthquakes, flooding, tornadoes
and storms," Pasik-Duncan said.
For students who are interested in math, science and technology, this is an opportunity to thrive, she said.
"This kind of situation, math ematics and climate is supposed to make students aware that there is so much that they can contribute to as far as problem solving." Pasik-Duncan said.
Tim Dorn, mathematics graduate student, along with other graduate students, is organizing a workshop for sixth graders from Hillcrest Elementary, 1045 Hilltop Dr., on April 15, to show how math is used in their everyday lives.
"Math is a language used to translate real world problems into something all students can understand." Dorn said.
He explained how animals are affected by climate change, specifically polar bears.
"Climate change causes animals to move to different habitats because their habitats are slowly deteriorating," Dorn said. "How long until there are no more polar bears?"
Dorn said plans for the workshop are still in development, but they would have other projects for students to participate in this month.
He said there would be nine graduate students assisting in the workshop.
and had 40 minutes to answer them. Pasik-Duncha said students' focus should not necessarily be on getting the right answer, but on logical thinking to reach the answer. She said their interests was in how students derive solutions.
Pasik-Duncan said. "We want to know what kind of students we will have when they are out of high school. We want to know how they think."
Yengulalp, graduate student, will do a presentation showing students how two opposite points on the globe will have the same temperature at a particular time.
"They are trying to come up with fun things that the kids can actually grasp and that have a wow factor to it," Brecheisen said.

More attention on campus fuels WNIT win streak

And on the court, the Jayhawks delivered another solid performance, rewarding the 8,360 in attendance with an entertaining product and, more importantly, a 75-72 victory that launched Kansas into the WNIT championship against South Florida at 1 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.
For the first time all season, the areas designated for students were filled with hundreds of college students, standing and screaming against Illinois State.
At 5:30 p.m. a full hour and a half before Wednesday night's tipoff, junior forward Danielle McCray approached Allen Fieldhouse and noticed an unusual sight: lines of eager fans waiting at the doors.
Welcome to the new women's basketball program — one that has risen from the dreaded label of afterthought to increased prominence among Kansas fans.
"That's what we've all been waiting for," McCray said. "We tried to get that from the start at Late Night but they have to see you play for them to come. And you're going

Team to play home series
Weston White/KANSAN
Kansas will face Baylor this weekend with undefeated home record
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
The numbers don't lie. 17-10 overall record, 1-7 on the road, and 2-3 on neutral sites.
If you do the math, that makes for an undefeated record at home, 14-0. It's Kansas' best home start since 2001 and obviously the reason the team (17-10, 3-3) enters this weekend's series against Baylor (17-7, 5-4) tied for fourth in the Big 12 Conference.
Coach Ritch Price said the team was "Looking forward to the opportunity to come home and to continue to the momentum that we have," and planned to "try to win another home series in the Big 12."
Home-field advantage is definitely evident throughout the Big 12 and all of college baseball. A staggering 81 percent of games throughout the nation are won by the home team.
Big 12 schools such as Texas, Texas A&M, Nebraska and Baylor all have their own unique and intimidating ballparks. Price said
"The way the game's played, the way the umpiring is called, that's why you see so many one-run games on the road by opposing teams." Price said. "Playing at home has to be a huge advantage if you want to be a good team."
there were some other factors affecting that percentage.
In its first series in the Big 12, Kansas swept then-No. 1 Texas at home. It was a crowning achievement for the program. But then the team lost a series at Texas A&M. Now Kansas has to rebound against Baylor, another top-10 team. Senior

Jayhawks use power of three in WNIT
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kbreckunitch@kansan.com
Any sport is really just a numbers game, basketball maybe more than others
My sport is real. A numbers game, basketball maybe more than others. Stats can tell a tale of the game that you might not see in action on the court. Shooting percentage, turnovers and rebounds can all lead to a team performing well or crumbling. The women's basketball team has used a much simpler stat to create its success in the postseason. It's using the power of three.
I'm not talking about the three-point shot here. I'm just talking about a third scoring option. Since the WNIT started, the lajhaways have not had a problem with that.
Yes, Danielle McCray is an honorable mention All-America, and she continues to carry this team, but other players have really picked up their level of play in the tournament. Sade Morris closed the season strong after an injury sidelined her for a few games throughout the year. The most refreshing performance, though, has come from freshman Aishah Sutherland, who is averaging 11.8 points per game in the WNIT.
Would they have done this well in the NCAA tournament? Probably not, but they are still getting to play, and I don't think any team could relish that fact more than the women's team does. This is a fairly young team that's only losing one starting player next year, point guard Ivana Catic. So, in all reality this tournament is building momentum for next year.
Add in the fact that sophomore Krysten Boogaard is playing at a high level now and this team looks extremely dangerous. No wonder they made it to the WNIT championship.
Sutherland has really progressed toward the end of the season and that's a big reason why the Jayhawks are playing well. Coach Bonnie Henrickson has talked about the ceiling of Sutherland's potential and how high it is, and now Sutherland is really starting to play up to that potential.
Yes, it was probably sour grapes for this team making it into the WNIT instead of the NCAA tournament, but maybe that's just what they needed in order to develop. The women's team most likely would have lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament, but here they are, still going strong in the WNIT. That's not a bad thing. Their in-state rivals at Kansas State rode back-to-back WNIT berths in 2006 and 2007 including winning the 2006 tournament. The Jayhawks have a chance to do that this year, their second consecutive year in the WNIT. Even if they don't win the championship on Saturday, don't be surprised to see this team in the Big Dance next season.
In reality they did what the men's team couldn't do. They found a third scoring option and got outstanding play from a freshman down the stretch. Tyshawn Taylor and Marcus Morris seemed to trail off in the NCAA tournament, while Sutherland has come on strong.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Normally, when we have a lot of people we normally don't have a lot of students. It was cool that they were waving their hands during the foul shots just like the guy's games. It felt like going to a guy's game and being one of the guys out there playing."
- Danielle McCray following Kansas'
75-72 victory against Illinois State
FACT OF DAY
If junior forward Danielle McCray scores more than five points against South Florida on Saturday, she will register the fourth most points in a season in Kansas history. She has scored 753 points this season. Lynette Woodard currently holds the top-four slots.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who holds the Kansas record for most three-point field goals made in a single season?
A: Danielle McCray. The junior forward has converted 77-of-180 attempts this season to set a new school record. The previous record of 69 in one season was set by Angie Halbleib in 1996.

Bears trade for Cutler; pick up free agent Pace
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos have agreed to trade disgruntled quarterback Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears.
The Broncos announced the deal Thursday and said terms would be disclosed later. It wasn't immediately known if Denver got any players in return or just draft picks.
The Broncos were trading Cutler on his terms and there was no shortage of teams lining up to take a crack at acquiring the 25-year-old Pro Bowl passer.
Cutler had asked for a trade last month after his relationship with new coach Josh McDaniels soured. McDaniels had talked to other teams about trading his rocket-armed passer.
Chicago also signed former St. Louis Rams tackle Orlando Pace to a three-year deal. Pace, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, was released by the Rams in March.

15 predictions for the coming season
COMMENTARY
At most schools basketball season is over. It ends the minute the team gets knocked out of its postseason tournament and no one cares anymore.
Not in Lawrence, Plenty of talk still surrounds the Jayhawks. Everyone is interested in the future. That's part of what makes Kansas so special. To join in on the fun, here are 15 Kansas basketball related predictions
1. Sherron Collins stays. He never really gets that close to declaring for the NBA Draft.
Collins' draft stock — he's the No.
49 prospect according to ESPN.com's Chad Ford — isn't high enough to think about it.
2. Cole Aldrich stays. His littlenation with the NBA Draft gets a little more serious than Collins. But Aldrich enjoys the college experience and has enough to improve on that he will be back.
3. Remember the Sports Illustrated cover before the 2006-2007 season with Julian Wright and Mario Chalmer's? Yeah, expect a similar one next November with Collins and Aldrich. The Jayhawks will be the preseason No. 1 team in America.
BYCASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
4. In 2015, Sherron Collins' jersey is retired. Collins only has to wait Bill Self's minimum five years before the ceremony and he will be the first player on the 2008 national championship team to receive the honor.
5. While we're on the subject of looking too far ahead, here's the earliest possible 2010 Final Four prediction: Kansas, Duke, Texas and Villanova in Indianapolis.
6. Xavier Henry winds up at Kansas. He's been Kansas' top target all along and Self won't miss a second chance at the 6-foot-5 guard from Oklahoma City.
7. Lance Stephenson winds up somewhere else. Maybe not even Maryland or St. John's. The kid is unpredictable. John Calipari could stage a late courting at Kentucky if he misses out on Henry.
8. John Wall winds up at Baylor. Don't forget, the Bears hired Dwon Clifton, Wall's AAU coach, as an assistant coach. Clifton can use the Calipari situation as a diversion to once again sell Wall on Waco, Texas.
9. Pundits start mentioning Bill Self's name with the vacant Oklahoma City Thunder coaching job at the end of the NBA season. A chance to go home for Self. Tons of young talent on the roster. And, no chance. Self is not going anywhere.
10. Behind the direction of coach Mike Anderson, Missouri returns the Border Showdown basketball rivalry to relevance for the next 10 years.
11. Behind the direction of coach Frank Martin, Kansas State keeps the Sunflower Showdown basketball rivalry irrelevant for the next 10 years.
12, Jayhawk assistant coach Joe Dooley is hired as a head coach somewhere within the next three years. He was already listed on Virginia Commonwealth's short list this season before it hired Florida assistant coach Shaka Smart Thursday.
13. Either sophomore Travis
THE
MORNING
BREW
Releford or freshman Eljiah Johnson takes a redshirt next season. One of those two will likely be the seventh guard option — the same position Brady Morningstar was in during the 2007-2008 season when he sat out.
14. Former lajayhawk Mario Chalmers plays his best basketball in the NBA playoffs in a couple of weeks. Along with Dwyane Wade, Chalmers leads the Miami Heat to a first round upset against whomever they play.
15. Until Late Night in the Phog in six months you will have at least one conversation about each of the previous 14 topics. It's Kansas. That's what happens.

KANSAS VS.

Two-game series
Lubbock, Texas
Game 1
2 p.m., Saturday
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge needs one more win to reach a career milestone of 400 victories. The Jayhawks will travel down to Lubbock, Texas to play a pair of games against Texas Tech this weekend — with that milestone in sight. Since her first game on February 15th, 1997, an 8-0 victory over Illinois-Chicago, Bunge has become the all-time winningest coach in Kansas softball history. During her tenure, the Jayhawks have reached the NCAA regions four times and have won the Big 12 postseason championship once, in 2006.
Game 2
Noon, Sunday
No game is guaranteed in any sport, but the layhawks have a prime opportunity to get their coach a couple of victories over the weekend. The Red Raiders currently reside in the basement of the Big 12, with a conference record of 1-6 and an overall
"It's not about me, it's about the girls," said coach Bunge. "We need to continue to step forward and win ball games. To be honest, I didn't even know about the record."
record of 11-28 and the Jayhawks come into this weekend's series riding an eleven-game winning streak against the team.
The Texas Tech offense is led by senior Liz Firman who has 44 hits and a .379 average this season. On the other side of the ball, though, the Red Raiders have been less than stellar. Defensively, Texas Tech has accumulated 49 errors, second most in the Big 12. The Red Raider pitchers have a staff ERA of 4.79 and have given up 315 hits on the way to 178 earned runs.
At 11-20 overall, 1-3 in confer-
ence and 4-4 against the ESPN/
USA Softball Top 25, Kansas hopes to ride the momentum from their walk-off victory over No.11 Missouri into the games against Texas Tech.
"The win against Missouri was a big boost for our team confidence," Bunge said. "I sound like a broken record, but we need to continue getting timely hitting, quality defense and solid pitching."
Val Chapple leads the Jayhawk
offense, posting a .354 average and .400 on base percentage, as well as recently being recognized by the Big 12 as an exemplary student athlete. Kansas ace Valerie George leads the pitching staff with 111 innings pitches and 121 strikeouts, after racking up 18 in her last two appearances.

The Kansas women's golf team will finally have the opportunity to face off against some Big 12 opponents this weekend at the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic in Norman, Okla. Junior Meghan Gockel said she was looking forward to facing off with some familiar opponents and thought the team would finish well at this tournament.

After a brief and tough tournament in Georgia last weekend, the team is prepared for a good tournament, said Gockel. Four weeks ago, the team took the title at the Duramed Collegiate Classic with Gockel taking the individual title as well. Gockel said the team tries not to be result-oriented but felt confident about their level of play for Oklahoma.

With the Big 12 tournament only three weeks away the team will try to get in as many rounds as possible said Coach Erin O'Neil. O'Neil said this will be a good matchup for the team and said she thought they would do well against these Big 12 teams. The tournament will be held at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Course,
"We're out there before the sun comes up and we play until after dark," Gockel said. "We've all developed the endurance to do this so we should do well."

This will be a two-day tournament with 36 holes on Sunday and 18 holes on Monday. Play will begin at 7 a.m. on Sunday and 8 a.m. on Monday. Gockel said this was a normal format for the players even though it was scheduled for a Sunday and Monday, and that they should be able to handle the all-day play on Sunday.

TENNIS
Martinez is key in singles play against Baylor
BY JUSTIN HILLEY
jhilley@kansan.com
The Kansas Jayhawks will attempt to conquer the fourth-best tennis team in the nation today in Waco, Texas. The team features four ITA-ranked athletes who, when paired up, form two doubles tandems which include the No. 16 pairing of Lenka Broosova and Csilla Borsanyi. Baylor is 47-1 in Big 12 competition since 2005. Oh yeah, and it is the 2008 conference champions.

<table border="1"><tr><td></td><td>Win</td><td>Loss</td></tr><tr><td>Doubles point win</td><td>5</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Doubles point loss</td><td>3</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>8</td><td>8</td></tr></table>
The layhawks are coming off a weekend in which they defeated Oklahoma and a then-ranked Oklahoma State. It was the first time this season the team defeated a ranked school and it showed the importance of winning the early doubles point.
"Our number one issue is getting out there and competing in doubles. That momentum going into singles
from having already won the point our A-games and our A-minds in doubles is huge, and the girls The girls seem to be still pretty

weekend," coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
today's match against Baylor and Sunday's match against No.63 Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas will feature an invigorated KU squad that sits in fifth place in the Big 12 with a conference record of 3-3.
"To beat Baylor we just have to outsmart them, and come out with

season, Martinez struggled, winning only two out of her next seven matches. But since conference competition began, she has assembled a team-best 5-1 singles record.
Senior Edina Horvath lunges to pick up a low volley during a March 22 match against Missouri in Lawrence. Kansas plays Baylor Saturday.
"My concentration level has gone up. You always want to do the best you can, and Coach has really helped me in tweaking my game a little to play better." Martinez said.
There is a connection between Martinez's success and the success of the team. When Martinez wins her singles match, the team is 8-2 in dual play, and when she loses, the team is 0-6. Martinez was Kansas' top fall singles player, and she plays at the No. 5 position — as opposed to the more difficult No. 1 position — so theoretically she should win a great majority of her singles matches.
"She is a competitor and a very coachable player that listens," Hall-Holt said.
Hall-Holt said that it is critical
that everyone plays to win this weekend and that the team has its eyes set on Texas Tech as well as Baylor.
"It would be awesome to come out with a 2-0 victory this weekend. We are very excited about
going to Texas and want to keep our momentum and fire alive. And play hard", Hall-Holt said.

TRACK & FIELD
Good weather and competition forecasted for start of outdoor season in Ariz.
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
Arizona is a special place for junior pole vaulter Ryan Hays. While on spring break before his first high school track season, Hays took his first-ever jumps at the track facility of the University of Arizona with his father, vertical jumps coach Tom Hays, who coached there at the time.
Now Hays will get the chance
to return to Arizona this Saturday with the Kansas track and field team when they compete in the Arizona Invitational in Tucson, Ariz.
"I can't wait to get out there and see the track," Hays said. "I know what I'm walking into, I've seen the track before, the 'oohs' and 'ahs' are out and I just want to get back out there and jump and see how high I can jump at that facility."
The Arizona Invitational will be
Teller's
the first official meet of Kansas' outdoor season. Last week's Missouri Relays were cancelled because of bad weather and the team is looking forward to competing in good weather. Saturday's forecast in Tucson is sunny and 70

Sophomore distance runner Amanda Miller will be competing in the 3,000-meter run. Miller said it would have been nice to have competed more this season before Saturday.
www.tellerslawrence.com
"I feel like I'm in good shape, but it can
be different when I get on the track." Miller said.
With last weekend's meet cancelled, the team held Saturday practice to go along with its regular preparation for this weekend's meet. Coach Stanley Redwine said
that the team was excited about where they were travelling this weekend.
"The team is looking forward to going to a different place and seeing new things. They're ready for competition," Redwine said.
"The reality is that in order to be the best, you have to compete against the best."
Kansas will be one of two schools representing the Big 12 when it faces Pac-10 schools University of Washington and University of Arizona as well as Big Ten schools Penn
State and University of Wisconsin.
"All these schools are really good; it's going to be some good competition." Redwine said.
Senior ShaRay Butler said she is looking forward to the competition, especially in the 400-meter hurdles.
"I'm not sure if they're in the Pac-10 but I know there's some competitors for the 400-hurdles at this meet." Butler said.
Last year, Butler earned all-region honors in the 400-meter hurdles, running with a time of 58.98 seconds at the NCAA Midwest Regionals.
This meet will bring the return of senior sprinter Nickesha Anderson, who is in her last season of eligibility at Kansas. Anderson will compete in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes along with the 4x100-meter relay and the 4x400-meter relay.
Anderson said that running in the 400-meter event would be beneficial for her in her other events.
"I'm starting to do the 400 so I can be a little bit stronger for the 100 and 200." Anderson said.
Anderson said she had been in training mode and was ready to get back into competition.
TRACK & FIELD
OUTDOOR MEET
WHO: Kansas Track and Field
Starting the season against tough opponents will be both a challenge and an opportunity.
"It's very important it being our first outdoor meet," Redwine said. "Hopefully they'll go out and compete well, but the reality is that in order to be the best, you have to compete against the best and this is a meet we will be able to do that."

catcher Buck Amenir said the constant play against ranked programs has its pros and cons.
"Who wouldn't want to play a ranked team every weekend on the side of competition?" Afenir said. "But it's tough to come out every day to see a top-10 rounder on the mound every time."
Afenir was referring to the quality of starting pitching the layhawks have had to face all season long. The Bears are no slouches, and plan to roll out junior Kendal Volz for the first game of the series on Friday.
Volz pitched for Team USA over the summer. He was the closer for the squad that also had Price on as an assistant coach. Price has seen enough of the right hander to know his team will have to battle on Friday.
"He was one of my favorite players on the team and he's one of the best pitchers in America, so we'll have our hands full Friday night," Price said. "He's a first rounder and we have to get after him."
But the main advantage to facing all these top teams every weekend is that Price knows his team is prepared to face top talent.
"I think the great thing about it is, when you go that many consecutive weeks you're prepared to play against that kind of competition." Price said.
But being at home could be the advantage needed to combat Baylor's starting pitching. While Kansas hasn't been as productive with its lineup on the road, at home it was able to fight off Texas' starters until the bullpen came in. Again, junior shortstop David Narodowski believes playing at Hogglund Ballpark gives the lavwhayn an edge.
"We play well at home, hopefully we get some fans out to feed off of," Narodowski said. "Just keep hitting the ball like we did this week, we should be fine."

intentions to attend Kansas that day. Now, it appears he may be waiting for Henry's decision. Stephenson compared his game with Henry's in the Daily News article.
"He's a good player, but I think I'm better in crunch time," Stephenson told the Daily News. "I like to win."
Kansas most likely could not sign both Henry and Stephenson. Aside from the fact that they both play the same position on the wing, Kansas' next commitment would use its 15th scholarship.
The NCAA only allows 13 scholarship players on a team. To accommodate for both Henry and Stephenson, either two players would have to leave or two players' scholarships would have to be taken away.

Penn State wins men's NIT Cornley led the way with 18 as Nittany Lions top Baylor Bears
DAVE SKRETTA Associated Press
NEW YORK — Penn State coach Ed DeChellis met with his team a couple of hours before playing Baylor in the NIT/title game and had only one request.
"Give me everything you have," he said. "If it's good enough, it good enough; if it's not, it's not. Just leave it all on the floor."
The Nittany Lions certainly did. And it was plenty.
Jamelle Cornley scored 18 points and the scrappy Nittany Lions, chasing every loose ball and hustling for every rebound, outlasted the Bears 69-63 on Thursday night to win only the second postseason tournament title in school history.
Talor Battle added 12 points, all in the second half, for the Nittany Lions (27-11).
"You don't know what it's going to be like when you go into it," said Cornley, the tournament's most valuable player. "The last time I cut down the nets was the state championship my freshman year of high school. To cut down some more nets in my last game is just an unbelievable feeling."
The only other postseason tournament Penn State had won was the Atlantic 10 in 1991.
Weston White/KANSAN
It was a physical game, and both teams spent most of the night scrambling for every ball in sight. Penn State guard Danny Morrissey was trying to corral a loose one near the scorer's table with about $2\frac{1}{2}$ minutes to go and the Nittany Lions leading 57-48 when he slammed his head into the floor, laying motionless on the sideline for a few moments.

"We have tough kids. We're going to go compete. That's been our trademark all year." DeChellis said. "That play typifies what our team has been like all year."
The Bears trailed 62-50 after Stanley Pringle made a pair of free throws with under 2 minutes left, but they did their best to rally. Tweety Carter's 3-pointer made it 62-55 with just over a minute to go, and he made another with 16.8 seconds left to get within 68-63.
Battle hit one of two foul shots, and Curtis jerrells air-balled a 3-pointattempt to set off a jubilant celebration in one end of Madison Square Garden, where some 36 busloads of white-clad fans made it look like the end zone of Beaver Stadium on a fall Saturday.

to have people come when you're winning."
Before Kansas' semifinal game against Illinois State on Wednesday, players sat in the locker room, somewhat shocked after a round of pregame warm-ups.
Allen Fieldhouse, normally peppered with event staff and earlyarriving media members, had fans — and a healthy number of them — before the 60-minute countdown to tipoff even began.
"You can throw out a lot of flyers and tell everyone you want to come, but it won't change their decisions unless you're winning." McCray said. "People have come up to me and said I don't even like women's basketball that much but I'm still coming."
But, really, there's only one key to generating excitement and boosting attendance figures.
"It's the atmosphere that we've all been working towards," associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said. "Coaches, players, the administrators — this is what we've been working for. It's very satisfying to see the team's hard work pay off."
The Jayhawks talked all season about increasing their fan support, and many administration-launched promotions drew fans into Allen Fieldhouse with some success.
Senior guard Ivana Catic added: "When you try to talk with people and say, 'Hey, come to our games.' Then, they say 'What's your record?' and you're like, 'Well, we haven't been doing so well, but we're doing better,' you don't really get a good response."
Kansas' recent success down the stretch of the season, coupled with a lack of other basketball viewing options at this point in the year, has made the women's basketball team a topic of conversation.
That wasn't the case in years past or, for that matter, even earlier this season.
"Sometimes" McCray said, "people didn't even know who you are."
Now, Kansas' players walk into classes and are greeted with warm congratulations and promises to
attend the upcoming game.
Sure, the program still has a long way to go, a lot of climbing yet to do. But the signs of progress are undeniable. Marchiony said the athletics department has launched a massive campaign to draw fans to Saturday's game, including using Facebook, Twitter and talking with area organizations.
The result? Marchiony realistically plans for Kansas to set a new attendance record for women's basketball games, surpassing the current mark of 13,352 set in 1994.
"I don't even know what that looks like in our games," Catic said. "I know how it looks in guy's games, but I don't know what that looks like being out on the court."

FRIDAY APRIL 3, 2009
KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
Before the WNIT ever started, coach Bonnie Henrickson and her players openly discussed that they had every intention of winning the tournament. Now, the Jayhawks have put themselves in the position to do so. Kansas has won four consecutive games and nine of its last 11. And it's by no means a stretch to say that the Jayhawks are playing their best basketball of the season right now.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Freshman forward Aishah Sutherland
Sutherland may seem like an odd selection considering that junior forward Danielle McCray is
averaging more than 30 points per game in the WNIT. But, as McCray said, "we win when she plays good." Sutherland's athleticism is a game-changer
VOLLEYBALL
Sutherland
and she's averaged 11.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in the WNIT.
Will Kansas' supporting cast show up?
QUESTION MARK
It's no secret that McCray is going to score. And in the WNIT's four games, McCray hasn't scored fewer than 25 points. But in order to be successful, Kansas needs scoring production from other players. So far, that's happened in the WNIT. That trend must continue for Kansas to be crowned champions.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"She does it so often that we come to expect her to do that. It's really not surprising anymore. When she does, we're like 'that's what she'll do and that's what she should do because she's that confident."
— Senior guard Ivana Catic on junior forward Danielle McCray's 31-point performance against Illinois State.
"It's momentum to have played as well down the stretch at the end of the year. We built momentum there and we created more momentum by playing well in this tournament."
— Coach Bonnie Hendrickson on Kansas run to the WNIT championship game

KANSAS (22-13) STARTERS
Catic
Ivana Catic, 5-foot-8 senior guard
Catic is by no means a scoring threat. But her role is just as important: She's the director of Kansas' complicated offense. Catic is responsible for placing the ball in the hands of top scorers, and she's done a good job of that in the WNIT.
★★★☆

Morris
Sade Morris, 5-foot-11 junior guard
Morris scored just nine points against Illinois State on Wednesday. But, down the stretch of the season, she's been a perfect secondary scoring option for Kansas. Her ability to drive to the basket creates openings for Kansas' other players.
★★★★
Earlier in the week, the Associated Press named McCray an honorable mention All-America. But in the WNIT, McCray's playing with all the poise and ability of a first-team selection. She's averaging 31 points and nine rebounds per game.

Jasmine Wynne, 5-foot-7 freshman guard
The off-guard from Jacksonville plays the game at one pace: fast. She loves to push the ball up the floor and score in transition. If the game lags at any point, expect Wynne to be the one forcing the issue and driving the ball into the paint.

Jazmine Sepulveda, 5-foot-9 senior guard

Sepulveda is a wing player with point guard skills. She's second on the team to Grace in assists on the season. Sepulveda leaves it on the floor every game and is also quite the pickpocket. She's recorded 94 steals on the year.

USF TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
South Florida played in the Big East, one of the tougher conferences in the country this year. They faced undefeated Connecticut twice and fell to the same fate as every other team who has played them this season. In their last game, they defeated Boston College on the road 82-65. South Florida's niche is playing an uptempo, high-turnover game. With four seniors in their starting lineup, the Bulls will be ready to play.
PLAYERTOWATCH
Senior guard Shantia Grace
"Tia" loves to push the tempo and play the game at South Florida's pace. While she tends to turn it over a lot, she balances
her numbers with twice as many assists. A lot of her turnovers come from trying to make a tough play. Senior Ivana Catic will likely draw this
P
matchup and will need to contain her dribble drive for the Jayhawks to have success. Grace will look to shoot early and often.
QUESTION MARK
Will the Bulls be able to keep the game at their pace?
When teams are able to slow down South Florida, they tend to have success. In their last game, freshman Jasmine Wynne forced two Eagle turnovers in the first two minutes that turned into five South Florida points. Whichever team is able to play the game at the speed they want to will have a definite advantage. Kansas wants to slow it down and run its sets. South Florida wants to jump and trap and get quick shots.

ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF...
Kansas breaks the all-time attendance record for a women's basketball game. The largest crowd in Kansas history is 13,352, set more than a decade ago in 1994, and the Jayhawks announced attendance of 8,360 on Wednesday marked the fifth-largest crowd ever. With an increased excitement and a massive push from the athletics department, Kansas should expect a close-to-recordsetting number of fans.
LYNETTE WOODARD WILLWEEP IF...
P. R. SILVERMAN
Kansas commits more than 18 turnovers. Early in the season, turnovers cost Kansas a handful of victories. And the same situation almost unfolded against Illinois State on Wednesday. The Jayhawks turned the ball over 18 times, allowing the Redbirds to close a 16-point deficit to two points. That can't happen against South Florida.

At the camp, one of our first jobs was to spend an entire day sandpapering an at-least-20-foot-long steel bridge. After spending hours removing rust by hand, we painted it a bright red. I was so proud of our work that I took a picture of the bridge, but my black-and-white film failed to give it justice.

editor's note
the mass quantity of mosquitoes that chose to make our days outdoors a living hell with their incessant company.Wearing a long-sleeve T-shirt, jeans and tennis shoes didn't stop me from spraying endless amounts of mosquito repellent directly on my clothes—it mostly didn't work.
— Jessica Sain-Baird, associate editor
Other days, we'd work in the camp's woods. Never before had I attempted to use—or even come in contact with—an ol' fashioned handsaw. Despite help from even another person to use a single handsaw on a tree trunk, it was probably the most difficult challenge, physically, that I had encountered on the trip. But it's what made being in Canada such a radically different experience than any other trip I could have made that summer.
See Stephanie's personal essay on page 15 about her trips with family to their cabin in Canada, and how roughing it in the Great North has felt more like a greater escape to her than a trip to, say, Cancun.
I haven't been to Canada since that summer, but it wasn't because the mosquito bites, fumes from painting and close calls with handsaws scared me off. The trip actually showed me that having an adventure often means going off the beaten trail, and that you can never have enough bug spray in tow.

Q&A
In 2004, Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher began collecting videos from garage sales, thrift stores and dumpsters. The two compiled the found footage and showed it to friends for entertainment. Eventually, the just-for-laughs show they put on for their friends became a national tour called the Found Footage Festival. Pickett and Prueher travel the country to show the videos and perform live commentary to go along with them. The Found Footage Festival will make its first appearance in Lawrence at the Granada tonight at 8.
Prueher also wants to remind everyone to bring video footage tonight to use in future festivals.
Nick Prueher, cofounder of the Found Footage Festival
What video started it all?
It all started with a McDonald's training video I found in the break room of a McDonald's that I worked at in high school. It was a video for McDonald's custodians and I could not believe how stupid it was. My first thought was, 'I have to show this to other people.' I immediately showed it to my friend Joe and we became obsessed with showing it to friends and making smartass remarks over it. So we figured if this video was right under our noses, what else was out there? So that started the quest to scour thrift stores, garage sales and garbage cans and other out of the way places for VHS tapes. Now, instead of showing the videos in my parents' living room, we show them in theaters around the country.
I don't know if it's legal, but our lawyer assures us that what we're doing is under fair use of satire.
So is this legal?
Do you and Joe have jobs outside of the Found Footage Festival?
This is our passion, but it's just part-time. Joe works at The Onion and I work at The Colbert Report.

Funny times. Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett,founders of the Found Footage Festival,find old VHS tapes with unusually funny material and present it to audiences across the nation.The festival is tonight at 8 at the Granada.
Do you look for new material in every city you visit?
Yep, the first thing we do when we get into a new town is ask around to find out where the good thrift stores are or if there are any garage sales going on. We go straight to the VHS section of Goodwill or Salvation Army and start digging. We've found that stupid videos are pretty universal; there's no region of the country that has more than another.
Are there certain places that have especially good material?
We were in Alaska last year doing a show and there's a place called the Bishop's Attic on the outskirts of town. They had a huge VHS section that had everything from Blockbuster Video training videos to home movies to locally produced exercise videos.
Do you guys have a favorite clip?
We find exercise videos most often, mainly because every celebrity who had even minor success in the '80s or '90s made an exercise video. Those are always big hits because of the fantastic fashion choices and poor production value. Ones featuring Zsa Zsa Gabor, Angela Lansbury or any range of celebrities who have no business making fitness videos tend to go over the best with audiences. Although in the new show we've got some anti-sexual harassment videos that have great enactments of what not to do while at work.
What's the best part about doing all of this?
It's like a needle in a haystack finding that perfect video that's awful in all the right ways. We wade through hours and hours of the most boring stuff to find that one gem. But when we do find that one clip that we know will make people laugh, that's what makes it worthwhile.

'Everyone romanticizes it When choosing like westerns'
By Ross Stewart rstewart@kansan.com
When choosing to be safe means owning a gun
Adam Khan carries a gun for his work as a security officer. Eric Stein has a concealed carry license but also uses his gun for home protection. Brittany Ramos is looking to get her concealed carry license once her boyfriend becomes certified to teach her the course himself.
In 2001, a Harvard University study found that 3.5 percent of college students own firearms.At that time, about 14 million students attended a two- or four-year university, so when the study was conducted, close to half a million college students owned a firearm.
They all share something in common: a desire to protect themselves and others.
On the job
As college jobs go, one that requires a gun is definitely not on par with flipping burgers.
Adam Khan, a security officer at Mil-Spec Security Group, a for-hire security business, and a coworker told several stories in which shots were almost fired—situations when they had to draw their guns.
"Everyone romanticizes it like westerns, but if you ever pull one and put it to a guy's chest, you're praying to god. You're praying to god that you don't have to use it," says a Mil-Spec officer and business graduate student from western Kansas who wishes to remain anonymous.
Khan, Wichita graduate student, says each time he had to draw his gun, time slowed down; he had a moment to think about the situation. Fortunately, he's never had to shoot someone.
Though Khan carries a gun for work,he also keeps several guns at home for recreational purposes and home protection.
After concealed carry became legal in Kansas in 2006, more than 14,000 people have applied and attained a concealed carry license. It costs $150 and requires an eight-hour training course. Still, 1,252 Kansas residents between the ages of 20 and 30 have a concealed carry license.
For personal protection
Eric Stein, Topeka senior, is the campus leader of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus at KU. He says he takes his carrying a gun as a responsibility and feels that he'd
rather be prepared in any situation than risk that one time when he isn't. He even carries to church—the pastor knows and is fine with it.
"That's where I feel somewhat on the job," Stein says. "I sit in the back and make sure everything goes according to plan. Not that I'm required to carry a gun in church, but I'm sure that I feel safer and others feel safer."
Owning a gun, and being comfortable with it, can also be a way to break from standard gender roles.
"I'm kind of a part-time feminist," says Brittany Ramos, Overland Park senior."I don't prefer to have to rely on other people to protect me."
In Kansas, 12 percent of licensed concealed carriers are women.
At the home
College students are not the prime market for home security systems—how many college dwellings have you seen with a security system? Probably not many. Some students prefer to protect their homes with a firearm instead.
Khan, the Mil-Spec officer, recalls a time when he felt the need to use a gun for protection in his home.
"I hear a window breaking," Khan says. "I grab my shotgun, jack a shell into it and it ended up being the guy next door drunk out of his mind thinking it was his house and trying to get into his bed. The houses were identical."
Luckily no one was hurt, and Khan's neighbor paid for the broken window. After that, though, he didn't see much of his neighbor. Khan says he thinks after the incident, his neighbor was afraid of him.
Khan, Stein and Ramos mentioned comfort as a reason for owning the firearms. They felt more comfortable with a firearm being in their homes than without it there. A level of uncertainty in regard to everyday life is also present. It's not that gun owners, on a whole, are paranoid—it's just that they'd prefer to feel ready if a terrible situation happens.
"I really want my family to not only feel safe but be safe in my home," Stein says. "It makes me feel better knowing that I have a means to protect myself."

On the range, Adam Khan, Wachita goldstone Studios, owns a gun. He goes out shooting, which is usually every weekend. Khon has been shooting since he was 6 years old.
Where can you go if you want to purchase a gun, practice shooting a gun, or attain a concealed carry license?
To purchase a new gun, there's only one shop in town: Jayhawk Pawn & Jewelry, 1804 West Sixth Street.
To practice shooting, there's a range in the basement of the community building at 115 West 11th Street. Its hours are Monday through Friday, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. To shoot there, gun owners need to complete an introductory course to the range. It's held on Fridays at 7 p.m. Cost for shooting is $2.
Bring exact change—the cash register is a fish bowl.
To get your concealed carry license, check out the Kansas Attorney General's website at www.ksag.org or www.ksag.org/files/shared/TrainerUpdate09.pdf to find a instructor in Douglas County.The cost for a license is $150 and requires an eight-hour training course.

You gotta know when to hold'em
By Kelly Breckunitch kbreckunitch@kansan.com
Don't sit there and play Solitaire all by yourself-call up some friends and get a poker game going
I slowly curled the top-left edge of the cards toward me, one at a time. The first card gives me hope—an ace of clubs. The second starts an analytical process—it's the 10 of clubs, and it was dealt to me at the final table of Student Union Activities' poker tournament my freshman year.
I stayed in the game longer than hundreds of students, but this was the turning point. I thought for what must have seemed like an eternity before I stated solemnly, "I'm all in." One competitor with clearly inferior cards—an ace and 8 of spades—called me.
My cards did the talking and I won it all. Though the prize was great, the first thing I did after winning was call my friends to let them know what had happened.
With ESPN's round-the-clock coverage of the World Series of Poker and the advent of online poker sites, poker has seen a rise in popularity in recent years. And why not? It's a great way to socialize with friends.
Eric Jury, SUA games coordinator, says SUA has been putting on one tournament per semester. The tournaments have gotten so popular; Jury says, that SUA may start hosting two tournaments per semester.
Jury says the last tournament was a full field of 152 participants. He says the tournament doesn't just help SUA, but helps students socialize."It gets people to open up and start talking about other parts of their life," Jury says.
Michael Partridge, Olathe junior, shares Jury's view on the social aspect of poker. Partridge hosts a poker night at his apartment. "You're playing cards and there's just a lot of downtime to talk," he says. Partridge's main reason for enjoying poker night is not the glory of taking first place—he admits he rarely wins. He says he started the poker night because he just wanted to have some friends over.
Even a professional poker player can share that sentiment. Grant Hinkle, 2002 graduate, became a professional poker player after winning a World Series bracelet this past summer, but he didn't give up his roots—playing poker with his friends.
"We just get together and mess around. When I play there, it's not as serious. It's just about having a good time and having fun," Hinkle says. More than that, Hinkle says games with friends help build camaraderie.
If you want to get started in poker, you probably want to start with friends, and not in a tournament. I remember playing poker for the first time and not knowing what I was doing, having not the slightest clue what the rankings of hands were, but I got used to it. Your friends can help you learn along the way, and that's part of the fun. Hinkle says. The tough love is part of the learning process.
Stephen Bergman, Baileyville senior, hosts his own poker night as well with friends. "It's definitely something we all look forward to," he says. Bergman says his friends don't take it too seriously. That's why a home game is a good learning environment for people who haven't played poker before.
Hinkle says the poker roots are deep. "It's kind of our nation's oldest pastime. People were playing with friends before this country was founded," Hinkle says. They're "drinking, laughing and having a good time," Bergman says. How could you pass that up?
So, if you need something to do with friends, brush up on your poker knowledge and get your own game going. Before long you'll probably have a new routine with friends. JP

Well, hopefully you at least know Texas hold 'em is the most popular form of poker played today. I'm going to give you a crash course in hold 'em and some other variations of poker so you can pick and choose what you want to play.
Hold 'em: The two players to the immediate left of the doaler place the initial bets, called "blinds." Every player is then dealt two cards face down and the first round of betting starts. After that one card is "burned" (placed in a discard pile) and three cards are turned face up. This is called the "flop." Another betting round follows One more card is burned, and one is turned face up. This is called the turn. Another round of betting, and then one final card is burned and the final card is turned face up. This is called the "river," and after that the final round of betting occurs. Than players still in the hand reveal their cards, and the highest hand wins.
Omaha: Omaha is very similar to hold 'em except that you are dealt four cards face down initially. The flop, turn and

Bet it all: Poker is a popular way to socialize with friends and relax after a stressful week. Some chips, cards and a table are all you need to have a good game and, in some cases, increase your weekly earnings.
river are all the same, as is the betting. The one catch is that you can use only two of your initial four cards when trying to make the best hand.
Seven card studd in sud poker you are dealt two cards face down and one face up and then bets go around the table starting with the lowest card showing. Afterward, three more cards are dealt (in three separate turns) with a round of betting between each turn, with the best hand showing starting the betting. Then the final card is dealt face down, followed by a final round of betting, and then players reveal their cards.

Colony Collapse
All over the world, honeybees are disappearing and dying. This phenomenon, dubbed the Colony Collapse Disease (CCD), is a mysterious disorder causing the disappearance of millions of honeybees, and the band Colony Collapse wants to teach the world about its namesake through its music.
The recently formed post-rock band chose the name Colony Collapse at the suggestion of a friend after looking into the recent epidemic.
From "Inhale pollen/Exhale pollution" to "A day in the life of a bee," every song the band writes has one common theme— honeybees. Guitarist Taylor Holenbeck says the beautiful pollinators of the world give the band motivation.
"Part of music for us should have a purpose and the bees are our purpose," Holenbeck says. "We want to teach people about this travesty."
The band has performed at local venues such as the Jackpot Music Hall but prefers performing at various bee farms "to get a better understanding of the bees' natural surroundings," trumpeter Brook Pertain says.

The As and Bs of raising children while in college
By Megan Weltner mweltner@kansan.com
Two stories of students who balance a family, work and school
The image shows two people engaged in a conversation. The person on the left has light-colored hair and is slightly turned away from the camera, while the person on the right has darker hair and is facing the camera. They are seated indoors, with a framed picture hanging on the wall behind them. The setting appears to be a cozy room with a decorative plant hanging from the ceiling.
Trish Jackson helps her son, Eli, 2, help his nose. Trish is a 35-year-old mother of two and has been married for seven years to her husband, Robert Jackson came back to KU in 2005 to earn her undergraduate degree and is now earning her doctorate in physical geography.

When Trish Jackson dropped her 5-year-old daughter Maiya off at school that morning. she could see the excitement
she could see the excitement in her daughter's bluish-green eyes. As they pulled up to the school, she made sure Maiya had all of her pink Valentines to give away to her classmates. When Maiya got out of the car, Jackson told her daughter to have a fun day, and she was so sorry she couldn't go to the party. "That's OK, mommy. Don't feel bad." Maiya said. Jackson watched her daughter skip into the brick school building, her ash-blond hair blowing in the wind.
Jackson drove to class that day with thoughts of her daughter flooding her mind. She entered the dreary KU classroom. The industrial tile floors, bleak, white walls, and dry, green chalkboard in the Lindley Hall classroom only added to her desolate mood.As Jackson looked around, she thought of her daughter Maiya and the other mothers in her daughter's classroom helping with the Valentine's Day party, wishing so badly she could be one of them.Jackson allowed her mind to wander and imagined herself at the party helping pour soda for all of the kids, passing out candy to each of Maiya's friends, and watching her daughter flutter around the classroom in giddy excitement. This day, like many in Jackson's life, requires a delicate act of balancing family, school and work, and some days are easier than others.
"It chokes me up just thinking about that day," Jackson says. "I honestly think it's more of a big deal to me than to her. I just enjoy being involved in her life so much."
Jackson is one of a growing number of students raising children while attending the University of Kansas. Out of all of those students, undergraduates are considered nontraditional students. In Fall 2006, more than 2,500 nontraditional students were enrolled at the University and that number has grown steadily each year, according to the University's Office of Institutional Research and Planning. The University does not keep a record of the number of students with dependents, but its definition of a nontraditional student is an undergraduate student who commutes 10 or more miles to campus, is a parent of
dependent children, is married, is a veteran, or is three or more years older than classmates (e.g. a 21-year-old freshman).
Jackson, who grew up in Sterling, is a 35-year-old mother of two, Maiya, 5, and Eli, 2, and has been married to her husband, Robert, for seven years. Jackson says she dropped out of college in 1992 because she was not socially prepared for the college environment. However, in 2005, at the age of 32, Jackson decided to go back to school and earn her undergraduate degree and is now earning her doctorate in physical geography.
"I think it's normal for people to be socially
unprepared for college. It is so much freedom but also a lot of responsibility at a young age." Jackson says."I didn't appreciate my education like I do now."
As a graduate student, Jackson not only has the responsibilities of her family, she has her own classes and teaches a class each week, making it hard to attend all of her children's activities. Though many students may choose to sleep in or skip one of their 8 a.m. classes, Jackson has already been up for hours preparing breakfast and throwing clothes on her kids.
"Mornings are busy. If I'm lucky I will get a chance to shower, now that's if I'm lucky,"
Trish says.
She rushes Maiya to school while her husband, Robert, stays home with their son, Eli, and finally is off to her classes. First she has two hours of Spanish class. Then she teaches a geography class before heading off to her graduate education research training class.
At this point, it is already 3 in the afternoon. It is now when she tends to her duties as president of the Non-Traditional Students Foundation."I had to give back to a University that has given me so much," she says. As president, she is the representative for the more than 2,000 nontraditional students on

campus, overseeing their wants and needs
Jackson has joined with Darryl Monteau, Non-Traditional Students Foundation adviser; to plan gatherings, write a monthly newsletter, and represent students who Monteau says maybe don't receive as much credit as they should.
"These students, specifically those with dependents, are so bogged down with responsibilities other than school that they are able to appreciate what an education is," Monteau says. "In fact, it's hard to get anything planned because no one has the time to do extra activities."
Jackson tries to get a workout in each day but she knows some days the time spent with her kids is more important. She typically arrives home about 5 p.m. exhausted, but the smiles on her kids' faces give her a second wind. Her husband hurries off to his night classes, making it hard for them to spend any quality time together.
After 12 years as an auto mechanic, her husband, Robert, decided that he too would go back to school. He says there are financial and emotional sacrifices their family has had to make, but in the end he feels it will all be worth it. He is looking forward to the day when both he and Trish have graduated and they can have a much more flexible lifestyle, allowing them to spend more time together as a family.
"I am looking forward to when we can do the family projects again. Once I graduate, I can be much more flexible with my hours. I guess you could say we are working hard to eventually work less." Robert says.
Trish relishes spending time with her son, Eli, daughter, Maiya, and husband, Robert, during what little free time she has to spend with her kids. "I have the responsibilities of being a mom and I can never take a day off from that."
"Sure, I wish that I could see my husband more, spend more time with my family, read for pleasure, but my day is so inflexible," she says."I have the responsibilities of being a mom and I can never take a day off from that."
While Robert is at class,Trish typically gets a good couple hours with her kids, who are in bed by 7 p.m. Although the silence allows Trish to get her homework done for the next day.it also reminds her of what she would like to be doing, such as spending quality time with her husband.
The balancing act that takes place within a family is stressful on all members says Andrea Greenhoot, clinical psychologist and associate professor of psychology. Though the child may be missing nurturing and attention, the parent also misses out on time with friends or his or her own partner.
***
Jill Ethridge, an undergraduate English student and a single mother to her son,Ayden, says going back to school has put stress on her but mostly she worries about her son.
It was early in the morning when she went to his room. He had the flu and was shivering in his bed. His clothes were soaked. Ayden had thrown up the night before, but even at 8 years old, he knew the stress his mother was under. He cleaned his clothes himself that night
so that his mother could sleep and put them back on his small body soaking wet because he could not get the dryer to work. Ethridge stared into her 8-year-old son's big round eyes. His pale, clammy skin felt warm to the touch as she held him.""Mommy, I didn't want to wake you,""she recalls him saying.

Ethridge tears up remembering this moment months ago when her son had been so selfless.
"It was a feeling unlike any other—guilt, sympathy and love all at once," Ethridge says.
Like the Jacksons, Ethridge also has to balance the daily responsibilities of school and her son.
Ethridge dropped out of college at the age of 22, got married, and nine years later was divorced. She became a certified paralegal two years ago, then in Fall 2008 decided to go back to earn her undergraduate degree so she could go to law school. When she decided to go back to school, she knew the emotional and financial stress it would have on her family.She had to make sacrifices. Keeping her full-time job at Gillett Law Office meant she did not qualify for financial assistance for her education but to her it was worth it.
Ethridge works 30 to 45 hours a week on top of her 15-hour school schedule. To add to her hectic life, Ethridge has chosen to live two hours and 15 minutes from campus in Fredonia.
"I want a house with a basketball court, a normal home for my son," Ethridge says. "I'm not like your everyday student. I can't share a house with three other people; it just doesn't work when you've got a kid. Some nights I use the drive to catch up with old friends. We chit chat so I stay awake and sometimes I use it to think or brainstorm. There is not much time to think when you have school, a full-time job and a son."
The growing number of students with children under the age of 18 has sparked a growing number of University organizations to help. Specifically, the Emily Taylor Women's
"They tend to be more motivated educationally. They are excited," Pisani says. "They see mom or dad and they are proud of the fact that they are a Jayhawk."
Ethridge finds time when she can to finish her homework and maintain her high GPA. While other parents sit in the school gym talking and watching the weekly Boy Scout meetings, Ethridge sits on the floor outside the gym and finishes her English 322 homework. At home, Ethridge has made homework a special time for "mommy and Ayden." Together they sit at the kitchen table working on their studies. Ethridge says she has even noticed her son becoming more passionate about his own schoolwork since she has gone back to school.
Pat Pisani, executive director for Hilltop Child Development Center, says she sees a difference in children's motivation when their parents attend the University.
Resource Center has increased programming and resources for these students.A few years ago, the center rarely brought in speakers to address the issue of attending school and parenting, but Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director,says the center is now trying to make it a priority. Rose-Mockry says the students she has spoken with, mostly women, say using student services was one of the most important factors in completing school.
"They are a resource and can help build a support network to help someone balance it all." Rose-Mockry says.
Though a large amount of stress does come when parents commit to going to school while raising a family, Jackson and Ethridge both say they have a refined appreciation for the education they are receiving. As other students work on their Sudokus or crosswords, Ethridge says she knows the effect a law degree will have on her life. Like Trish and Robert Jackson, Ethridge says she did not have this understanding until she was a parent. It was not until they had the responsibilities of a parent that they realized what value a college education really is.
It is not easy to successfully raise your children while going to school and working, but all three parents say the key to successful parenting while attending the University is communication. Communication helps the child to see the value of what the parent is doing and it allows the child to say how they are feeling too, Greenhoot says.
The communication maintains the bond
Though some days can be a little tougher than others and working 30 hours a week leaves little time for Ethridge to focus on her son's activities, she says she and her son Ayden cherish their time together.
"He doesn't think it's a good day unless we cuddle, so I hold him for 10 minutes a day while reading my book," Ethridge says.
between the parent and child, Greenhoot says.
"Sometimes the frustrating thing for the child is being put off over and over again. 'I'll play with you in a few more minutes ... not yet ... I have to finish reading this or writing this paper and then I can help you with your art project ... .' If the parent just takes a short break to attend to the child, it can do wonders to reduce that frustration and give them what they need." Greenhoot says.
There are bad days, both families say, but in the end each believes the lifetime value of an education outweighs the stressful moments.
"Sure it hurts sometimes. It takes time away from what you love most in the world: your kid. But it is also your kid that motivates you to finish and in the end provide a better life," Ethridge says. JP

+ health Good for you Bad for you Teeth whitening
It was early in the morning when I felt the painful sensation surge through my mouth. I had left my bleaching trays on my teeth while I slept the night before and was paying for it now.
Photo Illustration by Megan Weltner Blinding white: Leaving whitening strips for longer than directed dehydrates the teeth, leaving them sensitive.
Although whitening your teeth can leave you with a seriously sensitive mouth, says Pam Gotschall, certified dental assistant in Prairie Village, it is perfectly safe if you follow the directions.
"People always think if they leave the trays in longer or the strips on for extra time it will make their teeth even whiter, but there is a point where the bleach stops working and they are only dehydrating your teeth." Gotschall says. "The dehydration causes the severe pain."
Americans spent more than $2.3 billion on teeth whitening in 2008, according to a study conducted by the American Dental Association. From whitening strips that you can by at your local grocery store to thousand-dollar whitening procedures, people can't seem to get enough bleach for their pearly whites. Gotschall says because there is such a demand
for these products, the ADA has been doing a lot of research to make sure there are no negative short- or long-term effects.
VERDICT: GOOD FOR YOU, IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS
Megan Weltner
That's Sleeping without brushing your teeth DISGUSTING
You fall into bed after barely finishing homework at 3 in the morning. Brushing your teeth may be the last thing on your mind, but you should know what will happen in your mouth when you skip brushing your teeth.
Lack of proper oral hygiene also creates foul odor in the mouth. Claxton says using a tongue scraper helps keep your breath fresh.
Claxton recommends brushing for three minutes in the morning and at night, and flossing
"Different types of bacteria reside in the mouth and they can be really aggressive and active overnight," says Laura Claxton, registered dental hygienist at Enhance Dental Care of Lawrence. Harmful bacteria invade the teeth and gums over time, causing cavities and gum disease. She says brushing and flossing teeth decrease the amount of bacteria in the mouth and help keep the gum tissue and teeth healthy. Studies show that chewing sugar-free gum can help prevent tooth decay. She says, however, it cannot replace brushing teeth.

nurture by nature Blueberries
You shouldn't underestimate this small piece of fruit. Blueberries are rich in minerals, vitamin A and fiber.The health effects of those nutrients include keeping proper functioning of the body, improving eyes and preventing constipation. Blueberries are one of the best antioxidant fruits, says Dorothy Klimis-Zacas, professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Maine. Wild blueberries, which are available at many grocery stores, are even more nutritious than regular blueberries, she says.
The consumption of wild blueberries can possibly help relax arteries and reduce risks associated with cardiovascular disease. Klimis-Zacas' research group found such health effects in laboratory rats fed blueberries.
Fresh or frozen berries are more nutritious than the ones in pies or muffins, she says. She recommends eating blueberries with cereal or drinking blueberry smoothies because a small amount of sugar helps digest healthy nutrients more efficiently.

green it! Reel lawnmowers
If you want to work out and reduce greenhouse emissions while you mow your lawn, then you should buy a reel lawnmower.
Reel lawnmowers, commonly known as push lawnmowers, use only the power you push into them. Reel lawnmowers cut like a pair of scissors, which makes your lawn greener; says Laurie Kohlhepp of Great States American Lawnmower. Reel lawnmowers have a cylindrical helix of blades that pull grass to a "cutting bar" that snips the grass.
Reeil lawnmowers cost about $120, and gas
A reel lawnmower could be a real cost-saver in this economy and allow you to breathe easier.
Gas lawnmowers rip grass off, which leaves behind brown frayed ends of grass. Gas lawnmowers give off harmful emissions, are noisy, and are more dangerous to operate. A 2006 report in the Annals of Emergency Medicine found that almost 80,000 people went to emergency rooms because of gas lawnmower accidents.

DIY: Fix your iPod
Play ... play ... dammit, iPod ... PLAY!
A broken iPod can ruin a trip to the gym, a trek to class, or even just a lazy day by the pool. The next time your iPod doesn't play, resist the urge to chuck it across the room and take these easy steps to fix the problem.
Push a couple of buttons
In 80 to 85 percent of cases, a simple reset will fix a frozen iPod, says Daniel Wulfkuhle, sales associate in the tech shop at the KU Bookstore. Resetting an iPod does not erase your songs or data, so don't worry about lost tunes. To reset your iPod, Wulfkuhle says, just hold down the correct two buttons for five seconds.
Graphic by Becka Cremer
Wulfkhuhe has worked in the tech shop for two and a half years and says most people don't know fixing their iPods can be so easy."A lot of them kind of hit their foreheads with the palm of their hands like,'That's so easy. I'm so stupid'!" Wulfkhuhe says.
If a reset doesn't fix your iPod, plug it into your computer and click the restore button in iTunes. This will erase all of the data from your iPod, but iTunes will load it back on when the restore is finished, Wulfkuhle says.
For an iPod Nano or iPod Classic: Menu and Select. For iPod Touch or iPhone: Top power button and Home.
- - - - -
Trek to Kansas City or call Apple
On the fritz! Don't toss your seemingly defective iPod just yet. Some quick fixes can having it working in no time.
The Apple Store in Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri, is your best bet if the reset and restore don't work. Sign up for an appointment with the Genius Bar at http:// concierge.apple.com/store/R097. If you don't have time to drive to Kansas City, try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE for professional support.
Buy yourself some Apple Care
Wulfukhle suggests buying Apple Care, Apple's extended warranty, if you're concerned your iPod might break again. iPods come with a one-year warranty, he says, but for between $40 and $60, depending on the type of iPod you have, you can extend the warranty another year. KU Bookstores sell Apple Care for all iPods except for the iPhone. iPhone extended warranties are available online at www.apple.com or at the Apple store in Kansas City, Missouri.

DIY Start a fire [do it yourself]
Fire was discovered by cavemen, but modern man has largely forgotten how to create it.
Briese Anderson, Lawrence junior, is a fire expert: He's an Eagle Scout and works summers at a wilderness survival camp.
To make a fire without matches or flint and steel, Anderson suggests a bow drill.
The basic fire structure has three parts: tinder, kindling and fuel. Tinder is the fibrous materials, kindling is smalls sticks and fuel is large branches. Place each of the parts in the order mentioned.
First, you need to find string for the bow. If you have shoelaces, then use them; if not, then find a fibrous plant such as milkweed and make a rope out of it.Tie the string loosely to a bowshaped stick.
Next you find a thumb-thick branch that's six inches long, sharpen both ends and twist it into the bow. This will make the spindle, which will create the friction that will start the fire.
Find a small piece of wood that will fit in your hand and carve a notch into it. This will go atop the spindle. Also, find a long, wide piece of wood half an inch thick and carve a notch into it as well. This piece is called the "fireboard," which is where the fire will start.
(2)
Place the small piece of wood on the top of the spindle, and put the spindle into the notch on the fireboard. Place your left foot on the fireboard, with your right knee kneeling. Start the bowing action slowly and increase as smoke starts to build. The spindle will create dust that will ignite, so you should have some fibrous materials, or kindling, with the consistency of hair ready to light. When lit, blow into the kindling to get a large flame.
Illustration by Adam Schoof
Man make fire:You can make a fire almost like the cavemen did with string, wood, twigs and branches.
Once you have a flame,you take it to your prebuilt fire structure.
The best type of fire structure is the "teepee" because it sheds water and burns fast, Anderson says. For this structure, you lean wrist-thick pieces of wood together in a cone shape. The structure will eventually collapse, Anderson says, and you will have a nice bed of coals to cook on.

in the life of... An urban wildlife management specialist
If there's a squirrel in your kitchen or bats in your attic, just call Todd R. Olson. Olson owns Critter Control, 3514 Clinton Parkway, and spends his days catching animals that have moved into people's homes and repairing the damage they've caused.
"The animals are just doing what they do: surviving, reproducing," Olson says. But when, for example, a raccoon reproduces in a chimney, it's Olson's job to evict the family. So he traps the female raccoon, dons protective gloves and reaches into the chimney for her offspring.
The job is physically challenging and risky. A baby raccoon has the strength to break a man's finger. Olson says, and sometimes getting
to the animal can be difficult.
As an urban wildlife management specialist (that's the official title of a critter controller), Olson climbs on roofs, crawls through attics, lifts heavy ladders, and sometimes repels down buildings to get where the animals are. Once there, he still has to deal with the actual animals.
His worst job, Olson says, was removing a dead snake from the attic of a Lawrence fourplex. The tenants say a huge stain on the ceiling was from a snake. When Olson climbed into the attic, he found a boa constrictor, as big around as a coffee can, staring at him.
And, sometimes, they smell.
"Even though it smelled like it was dead,it
looked alive," he says. "I thought,' I am going to die today.'"
After removing more than 70 pounds of snake flesh from that attic, Olson had to throw out the gear he used because he could never get the smell out.
"The worst smelling thing in the world is a dead snake," Olson says. "I'm pretty sure of that now."

with Carly Halvorson and Elliot Kort
So, there's this guy in my class. We've known one another for a while and it's become pretty clear that we're both interested in one another. That's where the problems start. Every single time we try to get together, something goes wrong. Either I'm busy or he's busy or one of us runs über late. What should I do?
Cassandra, junior
Carly: Do you legitimately want to hang out with this guy, or are you just making excuses for not seeing him? Assuming that your interest in him is real, do you think he feels the same about you? Sometimes, it's just hard to make things work with busy, conflicting schedules. It's easy to use busy schedules as an excuse. Either way, it looks as if it's not going to work out.
Find someone with a more compatible schedule, but don't totally give up on this busy boy if you don't want to. Keep this in mind, though—if you can't even meet up for one night, then how would a relationship make any progress?

Elliot: Cassandra. I'm going to move forward with the assumption that both you and this guy are genuinely interested in one another. Carly poses some good points, but considering and typing potential actions for any number of potential scenarios would leave me with carpal tunnel and you without any real answers. Now, I'm going to propose two things. First and foremost, I'm going to suggest that you and this guy plan something so far in advance that it couldn't possibly conflict with either of your schedules.
But be warned, this will force you both to be patient. Now, if you think your collective flame could burn out by then, I'd suggest a second possibility: let something go. In the din of such hyper-scheduled lives, a lot of us college students lose sight of what we actually care about. Try to free up some time in your schedule for this guy. It'd probably do you some good.
I got HPV from my ex-boyfriend. How am I supposed to tell someone that I'm hooking up with that I have it? Should I even bother if I'm not in a relationship with him?
Laura, sophomore
Carly: Yes, you should absolutely tell someone that you have HPV, no matter if it's a long-term relationship or a one-night stand. Obviously it's not an easy subject to bring up, but this guy deserves to know. Wouldn't you want to know if the girl you're sleeping with has an STI? What if he had unprotected sex with you while aware that he has HPV—or something worse?
I understand that you want to save yourself from embarrassment, but being honest is actually the least embarrassing thing you could do now. From now on, you need to be honest with any sexual partner.Tell the guy flat out that you have HPV and you need to use a condom. Some guys are going to be OK with it and others won't—that's their right. No matter the reactions, at least you did the right thing.
**Elliot:** Laura, you've got to be kidding. Of course you tell the guy! Sure, I'm assuming you didn't know your boyfriend at the time had HPV when you contracted it. That absolutely sucks for you. But staying quiet as you pass it forward to some unsuspecting guy makes you just as bad as the guy who gave it to you in the first place. Carly's right. You always need to consider the Golden Rule in situations that deal with such intimate matters. So before you hop in bed with someone, I hope you'd be at least courteous enough as to be honest with him.

Duplicity is just what its name implies: deceitful and double-dealing. But when you throw in Julia Roberts and Clive Owen, well, then it's just a whole lot of intellectually stimulating fun.
MOVIE: Duplicity
From the man who brought you the mysteriously cryptic Michael Clayton and the action-packed Bourne trilogy comes this tale of two pathologically paranoid ex-spies. Their mission is true love and their objective is to live happily ever after at the price of $40 million. But don't be fooled. This is no simplistic romantic comedy or drama. Rather, I'd like to classify this cunning tale as a romantic corporate thriller whose premise is engulfed in lies, second-guessing and arrogance. And yes, it's all a bit confusing.
But between Robert's smarts and Owen's smooth smile, an amazingly crafted story of corporate espionage emerges and is mixed with the ultimate question: What is the cost of love?
Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson also give impressive performances as rival CEOs.

BOOK: Manic by Terri Cheney
For Terri Cheney, normalcy isn't found in the mishaps of everyday life. It's found in doses of Prozac and bottles of tequila, which is her own personal remedy concocted to combat extreme depression. In her memoir, Manic, Cheney painfully outlines the continuous idiosyncrasies and subconscious desires of a life with bipolar disorder.
Her entries occur episodically instead of chronologically, mirroring the chaotic feelings of her depressing condition. The rhythmic flow of her prose sharply contrasts with the edgy episodes she describes. Cheney's memoir illuminates much-needed light on a disorder kept strictly in the shadows.
Aside from the admiration I felt from reading truly honest and compelling thoughts, I was in awe at the author's ability to hide her condition from the outside world. Living a life as a highly esteemed practicing lawyer is one thing, but doing it all and repressing emotions so heavy they seem to nail her feet to the ground is another. Cheney describes her mania and depression as completely debilitating, but at times entirely invigorating. During "manic" episodes, she becomes radiant, instantly flirtatious and in pursuit of any sort of affection. Her agonizing and wrenching memoir investigates the validity of

Learning to enjoy the simple pleasures of the outdoors
1986
Roughin' it: During Stephanie's time spent with her family in Canada, isolated from a world of reality TV, ringtones and car horns, she discovered a love for the outdoors that made for a great escape from her everyday world.
Seagulls wait for the boat to come, right before sunset, on the clearest of Canadian nights. The sound of the old boat engine immediately awakes the flock sitting on a lonely rock in the middle of Lawrence Lake, and sounds of calling and their wings flapping welcome my boat. My dad's leftover bread crumbles in my fingers as I stand up to toss a moldy piece to the waiting flock of birds. In the distance, flying Vs race toward the eating frenzy. The sun is setting. I am alone in an aluminum boat and I sit until the sun has gone behind miles of pine-covered shorelines. The sun disappears, the flock gives up, and I head back toward my family, who is sitting around a flickering fire on shore. My dad has already fallen asleep in his green fold-up chair.
My family owns two fishing resorts in Canada. By "resort," I really mean a bunch of old cabins that are only big enough to sleep in, a fish-cleaning shack I can't even walk into because the blood on the wall scares me, and a room where food is kept. Bears have broken into all these rooms through the roof multiple times, and it shows. Although this is not my ideal vacation spot, I have learned to love the bugs, bears, my own unwashed stench and the peacefulness of the outdoors. My favorite of the two "resorts" is our fly-in resort on Lawrence Lake. My life flashes in front of me every time we fly in on the floatplane. The engine is so loud I can't hear anything, and all I see are the tops of trees inches away from our plane. I crawl my way out of the plane through the pilot's door. It's the only door. I hop onto the floating dock to help unload the plane that is sitting on water. Half of the plane is saved for luggage, and the other half for beer. We stay for about a week each trip.
I wake up with a poisonous spider crawling on top of the old ratty plaid blanket covering me. Showering is out of the question because there is no shower; so the morning routine is quite easy. I hear sizzling grease outside. My dad is making fried eggs, potatoes and bacon over the fire. The smell makes my stomach growl. Back home I'd be eating Special K cereal with a big cup of coffee for breakfast; here I eat what is made for me: a heart attack on a plate. But I have to deal with it.
Breakfast is quick, and cleaning up is easy thanks to the lake. I put on some old shorts splattered with mud stains, and a cross country running t-shirt that I would be too embarrassed to wear any other place; "The fast girls your mom warned you about" doesn't seem quite appropriate anymore. Shoes are unnecessary. Old aluminum boat that smells like rotting guts will be my tanning bed for the rest day. Fishing gear, snacks, portable chairs, and pans fill the miniature boat; yet it is still just enough room for my mom, brother and me to cram in. The 1990 sportable motor never starts on the first. Hitting it and pumping gas into it is routine. wait for my dad to start swearing at it.
Today is the day we are all going to catch the "big one," my dad reminds us as we get farther and farther away from shore. Two hours later, I've caught a crawfish. Crawfish smell like dirty feet and move around too fast to even try to cook. No one has caught any fish, which means we don't have lunch yet. My brother starts to get pissed. He eats his ranch-flavored Pringles and glares at his bobber in the water. My mom is too into her book to care. In the meantime, I think of what my friends would be doing, and what their plans are for that night. The Hawk or The Wheel? There are so many options. I have no phone, I can't Facebook, and I have nowhere to go but to shore or into the lake. But this doesn't phase me.
The water is so cold it shocks my body when I dive in. The boat rocks back and forth for a minute, swishing the three inches of water in the boat around. The lake water is crystal clear. I can see my brother's fishing line and hook 15 feet down. No fish on that line; I can verify. I become numb so I get pulled back into the boat. It hurts worse when your body starts to thaw.
Four hours later, my dad has finally caught the "big one." The fish is so heavy he swears "it is a rock." He says this every time we fish, and every time I give him the same astonished look. We head to shore so the fish can be sliced open and cleaned. I feel bad for the fish. Often I try to let it go when my brother and dad aren't looking, but today I'm too hungry. Frying the fish and potatoes in a bunch of
grease till crispy is satisfying at the time, but the two always end up tasting like each other. It's kind of like a two for one deal.
After lunch, we go back out, but the fishing just gets worse. We start imagining fish are on the line. Quick yanks of the fishing pole signal another big one, but there is never anything there. By 4 in the afternoon, I am so sunburned, I feel as if I, too, have been fried.The snacks are gone, and my brother has had too many beers. Heading back to shore feels like heading home from a hard day of work, except the stress and arguing was because of a fish. I wish I had more of that kind of stress.
Pink sky at night, sailors delight. Pink sky at morning, sailors take warning. The sky is every shade of pink tonight. I head back out to the
flock of seagulls waiting for me at the same rock. It's covered in so much seagull poop it has now turned white.The sound of my brother and dad laughing breaks the silence. The seagulls are finished, and I navigate back by looking for the flickering light of the campfire.
There is no trashy reality TV playing in the background, no annoying ringtone going off, and no sound of cars honking. The simplistic scene of where my family spends a few summer nights is calming. There is a fire pit, a cabin, a dock and miles of forest, but it's all we seem to need. JP

University re-examines its privacy policy
BY KEVIN HARDY AND ALEXANDRA GARRY khardy@kansan.com and aqarry@kansan.com
The University is re-examining its policy concerning parental notification following students' alcohol-related violations.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said her department had formed a work group to review its interpretation of the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, after the death of Jason Wren, a 19-year old freshman from Littleton, Colo. Wren's Department of Student Housing contract was terminated after repeated policy violations. FERPA is the law that sets guidelines on which student records schools and universities can release.
Wren was asked to leave Oliver Hall about a week before his death in Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1301 West Campus Road, March 8.
Wren's father has spoken out against housing officials' refusal to release information at his request about the type of infractions Jason was accused of.
FERPA has several exceptions, allowing universities to release student records in cases of underage drinking or if a student is deemed a risk to themselves or others. The law also allows universities to release information to parents if students are claimed as tax dependents.
The law allows, but does not
require universities to release information in these cases. Roney said it would be easier to notify parents of students with alcohol violations if they were living on campus.
"But for students who live off campus, I have no idea how we would be able to be aware of underage drinking or drug use and be able to disclose that," Roney said.
By signing FERPA waivers, students can allow parents access to as much information as they choose.
Jay Wren, Jason's father, said his
son never completed such a waiver.
Students are offered the opportunity to sign a waiver at new student orientation and can fill them out in the Bursar's office at any time.
Jay Wren said he thought the University's interpretation should be changed to allow for more parental notification.
"It's a right the parents have." Wren said.
Roney said administrators were

The second annual Student Senate debate scheduled for 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the lawn of Stauffer Flint Hall will be moved to an as yet undetermined location because of weather. Kansan.com will have location updates.
The event is sponsored by the University Daily Kansan, KUJH-TV and KJHK.
"It's our civic duty as a media outlet to make people aware of candidates' issues and positions when they're running for office and to make students aware of what they're voting for," said Brenna Hawley, Salina junior and editor-in-chief of The Kansan.
The debate will be more informal than last year's inaugural event, which was held in the evening and where candidates dressed up in formal attire.
Candidates from Envision, Free State, Students of Liberty and United Students will participate. Video of the debate will be broadcast on Kansan.com, KUJH-TV and KJHK within the week.

Construction will make parking spots more sparse
BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@kansan.com
Hunter Vore, Lawrence sophomore, usually parks in front of Strong Hall or Bailey Hall after 5 p.m. each day for his Spanish class, but now he will have to find a new spot to park.
Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said the new tunnel would run from the northeast corner of Strong Hall across Mississippi Street and intersect with tunnels installed last summer. The new tunnel will carry steam and
Beginning on Friday the parking lots around Strong Hall, Bailey Hall and the Facilities Operations building were closed to accommodate the construction of a utility tunnel. The lots will be closed until Aug. 1.
data lines used for computers and telephones around campus.
Poplar Lane, a road behind Strong Hall, will also be closed during the construction. Steeples said a temporary road, which would run between Bailey Hall and Strong Hall, would allow traffic to flow behind Strong Hall and onto Jayhawk Boulevard.
Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said the only parking spots that would be available behind Strong Hall were under the Spencer Research Library's canopy.
"It's going to take several months," Steeples said. "It's best to do it in the summer."
Hultine said there would also be spots designated for handicapped parking on Jayhawk Boulevard to compensate for the spaces lost behind Strong and Bailey.
Parking on Jayhawk Boulevard will be turned into a designated loading area for trucks unable to drive under the canopy.
"We are definitely going to make sure that we don't lose any of those stalls," Hultine said. "Who's really going to hurt a little bit are gold permit holders, so people who might normally have found a regular gold stall back there are not going to be able to park there."
Michael Cherniss, professor of English and gold permit holder, said that he was glad to hear there would be more handicapped parking in front of Strong Hall, but that he was
still concerned there might not be enough parking.
"I see no way that closing that area off of Jayhawk Boulevard, most behind Bailey, is not going to create parking problems," Cherniss said.
Chermiss teaches three times a week at Wescoe Hall and said he needed a parking stall close to campus because he couldn't walk long distances.

1. Catholics, Christians celebrate Palm Sunday
JERUSALEM — Hundreds of Christians palm Sunday in Jerusalem, celebrating Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into the holy city two millennia ago.
Catholic pilgrims, clergymen and local Christians attended Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, traditionally held to be the site of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.
Friar Bonaventure Lucien, of Boston, stood in the courtyard of the ancient church. He said he was excited to be where Jesus arrived on a donkey and was greeted by cheering crowds.
2. Tamil Tiger rebels now confined in 'no-fire' zone
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Three days of intense fighting in Sri Lanka's northeast has left 420 Tamil Tiger rebels dead and pushed the remaining guerrillas into a small "no-fire" zone crowded with tens of thousands
of civilians, the military said, a development likely to raise international concerns for the safety of those trapped.
The government offensive means the entire Puthukkudiyiruppu area, the last rebel stronghold on the edge of the safety zone in the island's northeast, is under military control, spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said Sunday. He said the Tamil Tigers were confined to the "nofire" zone in a narrow strip of land along a beach.
3. Suicide bomber kills 22 at Shiite mosque Sunday
ISLAMABAD — A suicide bombing at a crowded Shiite mosque south of Pakistan's capital killed 22 people Sunday, the latest evidence of how security in the U.S. allied nation is crumbling well beyond the Afghan border region where al-Qaida and Taliban fighters thrive.
The violence came as a senior Pakistani Taliban commander said his group was behind a deadly suicide bombing Saturday night in Islamabad.

4. United Nations worker found alive in Pakistan
NEWARK, N.J. — The family of a New Jersey man abducted more than two months ago while working for the United Nations in Pakistan is eagerly awaiting his return, following news that his captors freed him this weekend.
Solecki, who has worked for UHCHR since 1991, was heading up the agency's refugee operations in Quetta when he was abducted Feb. 2 in an ambush that killed his driver.
John Solecki, 49, was found Saturday evening near the Afghan border in western Pakistan unharmed, but with his hands and feet bound.

WHEELER, Texas — Strong wind on Sunday hampered fire crews' efforts to control several Texas wildfires that had destroyed four homes and damaged about 20 others.

6. Three policemen killed after four-hour siege
PITTSBURGH — A 911 call that brought two police officers to a home where they were ambushed, and where a third was also later killed during a four-hour siege, was precipitated by a fight between the gunman and his mother over a dog urinating in the house.
The Saturday argument between Margaret and 23-year-old Richard Poplawski escalated to the point that she threatened to kick him out and she called police to do it, according to a 12-page criminal complaint and affidavit filed late Saturday.

DEATH
Preliminary autopsy report released for Wren
The report is not conclusive, but includes evidence that
The University Daily Kansan has obtained a preliminary autopsy report in the case of Jason Wren.
suggests Wren's death was linked to heavy drinking, as his family has said.
Wren was a 19-year-old Littleton, Colo., freshman, who was found dead in Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1301 West Campus Road, on March 8.
The preliminary urine drug test was presumptively positive
for the presence of alcohol, according to the report. Biological samples have been sent to labs in St. Louis for conclusive results.
A report of this kind is prepared directly after a coroner completes an autopsy and is given to detectives, said Jennifer McCollum, medical investigator

Champion debaters take sides on Collins' NBA decision
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
Nate Johnson and Brett Bricker won first place at the National Debate Tournament last Tuesday. The Manhattan and Wichita seniors, respectively, won for their argument in favor of eliminating grain subsidies. The University Daily Kansan wanted to hear their thoughts on another matter: Will Sherron Collins stay or go? Here's what they came up with.
BRETT
Sherron Collins is the most valuable player in the Big 12 and one of the most fun players to watch for the fayhawks in the past decade. If he were to return, of course, the jayhawks would be a national championship contender, and be the favorite to repeat as Big 12 champs. Despite this, I believe Sherron should declare for the NBA draft for three reasons:
First, money. A college diploma is good for your parents, but for someone that has a family to support and has been doubt-
edly dreaming about the NBA for well over a decade, it won't have much utility for Sherron. If he needs it, he can get one on the road, but finishing in four years is overrated anyway.
Second, draft predictions While leading the Jayhawks for another year might help his draft stock, it is questionable whether it will help it enough to move him into lottery-pick territory. This year's draft is one of the weakest in recent memory and next year he will most likely have to compete with some amazing guard talent: Xavier Henry, Dominic Cheek and John Wall.
Third, he's not getting any taller. An injury in his senior season, combined with the ever-looming (exaggerated) 5"11" height deficit and he might be out of the draft totally. Get the cash while you can.
There is no doubt that Sherron Collins is the best the Big 12 has to offer. But that does not mean now is the best time to leave. Currently, Sherron is projected to go near the end for the first

round or the beginning of the second round of the NBA Draft. Sherron's draft status is looking a lot like Super Mario Chalmers' status after last year's national championship. Mario was drafted 34th overall by the Miami Heat and is scheduled to make $2.5 million between this year and the next two years. Certainly, that is an awesome amount of money, especially considering the world's economic woes. But if Sherron could even marginally improve his draft status, he might make money more comparable to Brandon Rush. Rush was selected as the 13th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft and is scheduled to make $3.7 million over the next 2 years, and make $2 million a year if the Indiana Pacers pick up his option. With the difficulty of this year's draft at the guard position, including higher-rated prospects such as Johnny Flynn or Willie Warren, one more year might become a shrewd economic move. It certainly wouldn't hurt to be drafted in the 2010 economy rather than in the 2009 one. I think that Sherron definitely has potential to improve
Nate Johnson, Manhattan senior, and Brett Bricker, Wichita senior, far right, are recognized by Chancellor Hemenway and more than 16,000 KU basketball fans during the first half of Saturday's WNIT Championship game in Allen Fieldhouse. Johnson and Bricker captured the National Debt Tournament championship, held at the University of Texas-Austin in March.

his game, with such additions as a consistent mid-range jumper and a more traditional point guard passing skill set. Next year's team
will allow Sherron to shine on a team of potential superstars, possibly ending in his second national championship. One more year
and Sherron might become one of the greatest Jayhawks in history.

Salamanders cross the road and get to the other side
LISA RATHKE Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Vt. — The black salamander with yellow spots sat on the roadside in the dark, ready to make a go of it.
On rainy nights in early spring, roads between forests and vernal pools are hopping and crawling with activity. Hundreds of amphibians cross small stretches of asphalt to mate. But many don't make it.
But it was not on its own. It got help from an escort — one of 45 people who volunteered on a recent night to carry salamanders, frogs and newts across the road during their annual migration to mate.
From rural Vermont to urban centers like Philadelphia, human escorts, called bucket brigades in some places, help amphibians make it to their mating areas without getting squashed by cars. It's part education, part conservation, and part science.
"It's an extraordinary thing and people deserve to know about it," said Warren King, a member of the Otter Creek Audubon Society, who organizes a crossing in Salisbury. "And it needs to be protected. There are sites where many of the critters that are crossing never make it."
On a recent night, University of Vermont student Kaitlin Friedman walked with other volunteers along
"It's pretty much the one time of year where you get to see a lot of salamanders and it is just really cool," said Friedman, 20, of Long Island, New York. "Plus, you know you help them across the road, you feel like maybe you're making a small reduction in their mortality rates, maybe, just for that
hour or so."
But some wonder why anyone would go to such lengths.
They also kept count of vehicles, and the amphibians that didn't make it, trying to identify the flattened carcasses.
the asphalt with flashlights and clipboards, moving wood frogs, peeers, blue-spotted, red-backed and four-toed salamanders across the road, while they jotted down how many they saw.
"Even if we don't know what would happen if they all died out at once,we could imagine some kind of ripple effect on the rest of the ecosystem because they serve as both predator and prey and are probably very important in terms of nutrient cycling in the forest floor," he said.
The red-backed salamanders are the most abundant backboned animal in the forest, said Jackson.
For Parren, it's preservation.
"For me it's more we're losing the national heritage that belongs there," he said.

McCartney, Starr perform together in New York

JOHN CARUCCI
The reunion of McCartney and Starr, the surviving members of the Beatles, was the highlight of the "Change Begins Within" concert on Saturday night. The event was held at Radio City Music Hall to benefit the David Lynch Foundation, which aims to teach at-risk youth meditation techniques.
NEW YORK - An all-star concert on meditation brought Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr together for their first performance together in seven years.
McCartney and Starr last performed together in 2002 at the Concert for George, which honored former Beatles George Harrison at London's Royal Albert Hall a year after Harrison's death.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Shears," McCartney told the crowd, referring to the fictional character on the classic Beatles' album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Saturday's concert, which also featured SherylCrow, Eddie Vedder, Donovan and others, ran for about four hours. But McCartney had thousands of fans on their feet as he hit the stage near the show's end. Opening with a spirited version of "Drive My Car," he went through a generous selection of Beatles and Wings classics, from "Can't Buy Me Love" and "Let It Be" to "Jet" and "Band on the Run."

Police roadblocks prevented reporters from approaching the airport but one police officer said Madonna carried David, her adopted Malawi son, up the steps of the Gulfstream jet.
It was bound for London's Gatwick Airport, air traffic officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists.
The singer's lawyer has said that she will appeal against a court ruling that she is not eligible to adopt a 3-year-old
orphan girl, Chifundo "Mercy" James, because she hasn't lived in Malawi.
Madonna first spotted Mercy during a 2006 visit to an orphanage where she found David. Then, unlike now, she was able to leave the country with the infant and the adoption was completed last year.
But now Madonna is a single mother after her split from film director Guy Ritchie. Her attempts to adopt a second child caused outrage among some child welfare groups.

EDITORIAL BOARD
In 2005, Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute outlined policy blunders that lengthened the Great Depression. He included policies such as increasing taxes, blocking trade and controlling prices. Many of the mistakes Edwards blames for prolonging the Depression were made in the first 100 days of the FDR presidency and in the first 100 days of the Obama presidency, we are repeating them.
Government repeating mistakes of Depression
The Obama administration, like those of Hoover, FDR and Bush, has chosen to employ fiscal stimulus through deficit spending. Unemployment was high through the 1940s despite Hoover and FDR's stimulus efforts, and Bush's modern attempt you can judge for yourself. Obama's charge for fiscal stimulus is based on the belief that every dollar Obama spends will put about $1.50 into the economy, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal. But studies of this type of policy by the International Monetary Fund and the Università Bocconi concluded that results like this would be unlikely. Based on these two studies, every dollar Obama spends will boost the economy by less than $1.
Obama, like Hoover with his

Revenue Act of 1932 and FDR with the Revenue Act of 1936, will kill incentive for investment by raising taxes. Obama is looking to raise corporate taxes, increase the capital gains tax and start cap-and-trade carbon permits, among other clever ways to pay for his endeavors. This would all be wonderful if the costs of spending were really borne by "polluters" and "evil corporations." But the costs will be paid by real people. Your dad's ailing portfolio will decline as corporations struggle to maintain a profit because of higher taxes. Worse, he may lose his job because it's cheaper to make soap in London and ship it all the way to Mexico than to pay high corporate taxes in the U.S. Energy prices will go up because of cap-and-trade; poor families will be hurt the most because a larger percent of their income is spent on energy.
This cap-and-trade program is similar to the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1929. Smoot-Hawley
A study by UCLA economists Cole and Ohanian concluded that FDR's National Industry Recovery Act, or NIRA, extended the Depression into the late 1930s. The study showed the NIRA kept prices and wages high, which lowered the demand for goods and labor. Helping the NIRA raise unemployment was the Davis-Bacon Act, which requires that government contracts pay prevailing wages; this in effect raises the market wage and again lowers demand for labor. We are not headed towards another disastrous NIRA but the minimum wage is being raised and all the stimulus package pet projects will be under Davis-Bacon rules.
Figuring out how to fix the mess we're in isn't going to be easy, so wouldn't it be a good idea to start by taking a look at how we screwed up in the past and not repeat those mistakes?

Death penalty takes moral monetary toll on taxpayers
BY GAVIN MATHIS
Washington State U.
Daily Evergreen
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson signed legislation last month abolishing the use of the death penalty, making New Mexico the 15th state to prohibit capital punishment since the Supreme Court reinstated the penalty.
Recognizing that more than 130 death row inmates were exonerated in the past decade, Richardson made a civilizing leap in the movement to abolish one of the most heinous usurpations of political power in America.
Capital punishment is not only a judicial decree, but a political manifestation of power. Besides the primary victim (the executed prisoner), capital punishment aims to ensure obedience within a secondary victim (the general populace).
By imitating the same barbaric acts of violence that it hopes to curtail, states are ignoring that the punishment has no place in a penal system where less severe sentences, such as life without parole, could achieve aust end.
A handful of other states, including Montana, Maryland and Colorado, are also deliberating changes to their capital punishment statutes, indicating a tidal shift against the death penalty. Each measure is facing stiff resistance from victim advocacy groups who believe capital punishment saves the state money and acts as a deterrent to future crimes.
The first assertion is not only incorrect, its application in capital punishment is erroneous. According to a 2008 study in Maryland, condemning a
man to death costs the state $1.9 million more than sentencing him to life imprisonment because the costs of the lengthy appeals process far exceed the price of housing and feeding the prisoner. Besides being flagrantly untrue, assigning a value to an individual is essentially an attempt to demoralize the subject. There is no reason for Americans to be ensnared by a punishment that is ripped from the Code of Hammurabi. If an eye for an eye is the most reasonable outcome the government can offer the victims of violent crime, then the state has failed.
Another death penalty fallacy states the punishment serves as a deterrent. If capital punishment was a deterrent, then Texas would be a magical utopia.
State governments serve many primary functions: the provision of public health, the regulation of intrastate commerce and the issuance of licenses. Murder is not one of them. Capital punishment is the ultimate premeditated murder, and taxpayers are blind accomplices in the state's physical confrontation with the condemned.
Justice in America is not blind. Americans may abide by the rule of law, but those laws are written by flawed humans. The impending sense of mortality that grips the condemned man as he walks the green mile is the same feeling experienced by his victim. Looking beyond the prison bars and finding the human story of the condemned is the first step in overcoming mankind's primitive need for revenge.
Vengeance is easy,but justice is difficult.

Gay marriage advocates should learn from Iowa Supreme Court case
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
That the Iowa Supreme Court affirmed a case that challenged the constitutionality of a gay-marriage ban is no surprise to those who can read the legal and political tea leaves. What is a surprise, however, is that it was unanimous.
Although this is reason to celebrate, the party may be short. California is expected to uphold Proposition 8, a measure that amended the California constitution to imbed anti-gay sentiments within it.
So what now?
The gay and lesbian rights movement, it seems to me, would do well to capitalize on lowa in two ways. First, lowa can serve as an example of how public opinion can be changed by political mobilization. Second, the decision provides fertile grounds for templates for future legal arguments.
To give gays and lesbians equal rights under a different name is not so different from giving minorities separate water fountains or other facilities and saying "well, at least we gave them something." Segregation is segregation, period. But unfortunately, we are at a point where we have to find ways to spread that message. This is where Iowa becomes important.
I am confident that, someday, a ban on gay marriage will seem as silly as a ban on interracial marriage. Until then, the gay and lesbian political coalition must take its victories where it can get them, and learn from them. California is promising to throw icy water on the warm feelings in the wake of the decision in Iowa. This doesn't have to last, however, if gays and lesbians file this crucial victory under the title "lessons learned," and use it to replicate this success in the future.

University hiring admissions counselor
Job includes traveling and working to bring prospective students to the University

Jessia Walters, an admissions counselor for the University, serves as the first line of contact for many prospective students. The 2005 graduate has been working with incoming freshmen since 2006.
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
rburchfield@kan.san.com
Jayhawks who are passionate about their alma mater could consider applying to work as an admissions counselor for the University. The Office of Admissions and Scholarships is currently hiring for the one open admissions counselor position.
Ten alumni of the University work day in and day out to promote the University to prospective undergraduate students all across Kansas and in eight other states across the country. These admissions counselors make their living representing the University, said Heidi Simon, associate director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships.
"Admissions counselors are the face of the University and, in many cases, are perceived as the University," Simon said. "To many people they are KU — they are the athletics teams, they are the debate team, they are the pre-med program, they are housing, they are the chancellor, they are the Greek system, they are Lawrence."
Even before Nick Lush began working as an admissions counselor last August, he had already recruited students to come to the University.
Lush, Sacramento, Calif., 2008 graduate, recruited his younger brother and five friends from California to attend the University long before he was paid to do it. He now calls himself and the other admissions counselors "brand representatives" of the University.
"We are the people that prospective students, families and counselors go to for information about KU." Lush said. "We are the first contact for them."
Something that admissions counselors call "the KU difference" sells the University, said Elisa Krapcha, senior admissions counselor and Littleton, Colo., 2005 graduate.
ing for and also be challenged to find and do things they never thought they could do." Krapcha said. "It's a place where you have opportunities in an amazing city surrounded by amazing people. That just makes KU second to none in the country."
Duties of admissions counselors include presenting to large or small groups, meeting with families, or counseling over the phone or e-mail, which vary day to day. Admissions counselors work junior days and senior days when they are in Lawrence and not traveling across Kansas or out of state.
"The KU difference is when a student comes to KU. They can find exactly what they're look
A year in the life of an admissions counselor
"If we didn't have admissions counselors going out and visiting high schools, some people wouldn't even know what KU is all about," Krapcha said.
Elisa Krapcha breaks down admissions counselors' duties season-by-season.
Admissions counselors are dedicated, passionate, creative, and enthusiastic, Simon said. She called working with the admissions counselors the absolute best part of her job.
**Spring:** The admissions counselors are back on the road. "It's the same message — tell them about KU," Krapa said.
Winter: The team reviews the applications of thousands of students who applied for scholarships.
**Fall:** The admissions counselors visit the high schools in their respective territories, both in Kansas and out of state. "We get the nickname of being 'road warriors'; during this time of year," Krapcha said.
Summer: The team freshens up and gets updated information so that their presentations can be as current as possible.
"It's the best job anyone can have on campus, maybe besides Bill Self's job," Krapcha said.
"They are the most fun group of people to work with," Simon said.

Mud Fest, to be held this month, is first of its kind' at University
Students play in mud to help fund scholarship
BY BETSY CUTCLIFF bcutcliff@kansan.com
Students have the opportunity to help other students by playing volleyball in the mud, but only until Wednesday when registration for Hawk Wud Fest '09 ends.
The event is sponsored by Students for KU, and is being held to raise funds for a new scholarship dedicated to exceptional student leaders.
Students for KU is the student philanthropy committee for the Kansas University Endowment Association, and was created to increase student awareness about alumni and donor support. Mud Fest '09 was intended to encourage students to start giving back to the University.
The mud volleyball tournament is the first of its kind, said Sarah Phillips, assistant director of annual giving for the Endowment Association. All funds collected from registration fees will be put into a new scholarship for Fall 2009 to recognize student leaders who have significantly given back to the University. Phillips said the amount given and number of recipients would be determined by how many teams signed up to play.
The importance of donations struck Kathleen Armistad, St. Louis sophomore, this year when her scholarship from the School of Engineering was delayed because a donor couldn't provide the expected funds. Armistad said students didn't understand the role the economy played when students relied on alumni and outside donations.
"There are so many students from so many financial backgrounds, and especially right now it's important to realize how much scholarships can help," Armistad said.
Laura Wolfe, Lenexa senior and member of Students for KU, said

she thought it was important for students to understand how much the University depended on donor support for scholarships and campus upkeep. Wolfe said reliance was one reason students should get in the habit of giving back, and she liked the idea of being able to contribute in a small way by participating in events that raise funds for more scholarships.
"It's a cool thought to know students can help other students," Wolfe said.
During the 2008 fiscal year, the KU Office of Institutional Research and Planning reported that the Endowment Association gave more than $1.9 million to students through loans, grants and scholarships. Endowment scholarships accounted for 24.5 percent of all scholarships and grants given to students at the Lawrence campus, athletic scholarships were the next highest, accounting for about 13 percent of the total.
Hawk Mud Fest '09 starts at 10 am, on April 25.

ENVIRONMENT Officials to dedicate plant to purify water supply
This comes after nearly 30 years of searching for a solution for contaminated groundwater.
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson officials plan to dedicate a long-awaited reverse-osmosis water treatment plant this week.
The new plant will take water extracted from contaminated well sites near the Fourth Avenue and Carey Boulevard area and purify it. It will use water pressure and semipermeable membranes to filter out contaminants.
The plant dedication is Thursday. Construction began in 2005.
City officials learned in the 1980s that volatile organic compounds contaminated a public water supply well.

Roney said it was difficult balancing students' privacy with parents' need to know.
"I don't want to make it sound like we are trying to set up a situation where students can hide behind the University because that certainly is not what we want to do," Roney said.
"On the other hand, when students enroll at the University of Kansas, it is certainly my expectation that students are responsible
adults and that they are able to make good decisions."
Different universities interpret the law differently. Kansas State University contacts parents in cases of underage drinking on campus upon a second violation.
After the first infraction, students are put through an on-campus counselling program, paid for by K-State. If a student is caught a second time, the Office of Student Life, which also includes the campus police, sends a letter to the student's parents. The letter details the circumstances of the infraction and the resources available for dealing with alcohol.
"We don't want it to be punitive for students, we just want them to get the help they need." Reed said. "We feel that requires getting the parents involved."
Reed said she stood behind K-State's FERPA interpretation as being effective for students and parents. Reed said she could not remember a student reaching a third infraction in her four years at K-State.
Heather Reed, assistant dean and director of student life at K-State, said her office complied with FERPA but took a different approach than the University's, because she said notifying students' parents helped

Mount Redoubt an uncertainty for Alaskans
MARY PEMBERTON Associated Press
Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska—Mount Redoubt is getting under the skin of Alaska, and it's not just the irritation caused by volcanic ash.
For residents of Alaska's largest city, living near an active volcano means sometimes wearing air-filtration masks and stretching panty hose over the air intake of cars and trucks.
The volcano also brings daily uncertainty about whether it will blow and, if it does, where the ash will go.
"I would like it to have a big boom and get it over with," said Brad Sandison, a retired truck driver and avid cyclist who carries a face mask and goggles whenever he rides just in case the volcano starts spewing ash.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The mountain 100 miles southwest of Anchorage tends to erupt every decade or so and belch ash for months. Geologists have recorded at least 19 eruptions since March 22, including one on Saturday.
So far, Mount Redoubts almost daily ash clouds have canceled hundreds of airline flights, reduced the number of shipments flowing through a huge FedEx cargo facility and cut shipments of fresh Alaskan seafood.
People with breathing problems also face health risks.
Respiratory patients should avoid being outdoors when the ash is falling, said Dr. Teresa Neoem of the Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Center of Alaska. Those who must be outside should wear a mask.
Lin Walters of Nikiski makes sure her 81-year-old mother, who has severe asthma, is wearing a face mask whenever the volcano erupts.
"When the volcano blows, she has to put on her mask because we don't know which way the ash is falling," Walters said. "She has a whole box of them sitting beside her recliner."
One ash cloud undetected by radar knocked out all four engines of a jetliner, which descended 13,000 feet before its engines could be restarted. The plane landed safely.
The last time Redoubt erupted was late 1989 and early 1990. Eruptions went on for four months.
Seismologists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory do not expect the volcano to erupt violently. It usually burps ash and gas as molten rock forms a dome in the mountain that eventually collapses, resulting in eruptions. Then the process begins again.
Scientists have no way to predict when the volcano will erupt and what direction the wind will be blowing when it does.
However, researchers at the Alaska Volcano Observatory have come up with a volcanic ash tracking model that is updated online every three hours. Users can click on the height of the ash plume and then view a model of where the ash cloud is likely to go in one-hour increments.
The National Weather Service also issues ash advisories in much the same way as it does with storms and floods.
Since the latest eruptions began, Alaska Airlines has canceled 300 flights, affecting an estimated 20,000 passengers.
Joe Tacker of Monterey, Calif., was trying to get to Anchorage last weekend to help judge a two-day dog show. Then Redoubt blew several times.
After two other flights were canceled, Tacker got on a third flight out of San Jose. While waiting for takeoff he checked his cell phone messages one last time. With a flight attendant pressuring him to put his phone away, he clicked on the last message. It informed him that the dog show had been canceled because of the volcano.
"I told the stewardess 'Stand back,' and I got up and grabbed my stuff from out of the top and took off down the aisle," Tacker said.
"You make a real effort to get to Alaska for the dog shows because everyone is so nice up there," Tacker said. "Also, you want to get some good fish."
As far as fish, Tacker probably
would have been disappointed especially if he wanted to ship some home.
When the volcano forced a 20-hour shutdown last weekend of the Anchorage airport, the shipping system became clogged with delayed cargo.
"It kind of created a domino effect with all the cargo stations around the state and in Seattle and Portland," said Dannon Southall, wholesale salesman for 10th and M Seafoods in Anchorage. "The wind shifts every day."
Because thousands of displaced passengers were bumped from canceled flights, airlines have less space for boxes of crab, salmon, cod and halibut. That cargo space is now taken up with luggage that needs to be returned to its owners, Southhall said.
The volcano calmed down for much of last week, but then produced another large eruption Saturday. Radar indicated a plume of volcanic ash rose 50,000 feet into the sky, making it one of the largest
eruptions since the volcano became active on March 22, the weather service said.
"The second you get that false sense of security, it is going to go boom." Southall said before Saturday's burst.
Instead of moving cargo through Anchorage, FedEx is dividing most cargo through its hub in Oakland, Calif., with one or two flights also going to Seattle.
Normally, the company operates 21 flights in and out of Anchorage each day. That has been reduced to three, spokeswoman Sally Davenport said.
In an effort to shield their engines from volcanic ash, some motorists place pantyhose over the air intake. But ever since a layer of ash descended on Nikiski, 60 miles southwest of Anchorage, Dan Ward has had a steady stream of customers complaining about car trouble.
"Just get a good quality air filter and keep one in the car and change it every so often," said Ward, owner of Dan's Automotive.
A look under the hood usually solves the mystery: They placed the panty hose in the wrong place.
Wayne Kvasnikoff, plant manager for the Seattle-based Ocean Beauty Seafoods fish-processing plant in Nikiski, is glad the plant is closed this time of year. The ash that coated the town in gray last Saturday will still be there when the plant reopens for the summer salmon season.
The ash will require a rigorous spring cleanup, he said.
"We will do it the same way they have in the past, with large water hoses," Krusnikoff said. "We will wash it out."

What students are saying about Dons
Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noses and the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handled these things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college. I heard about Dont's Auto from some friends and through the Kansan, so I decided to give them a call. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super understanding.
What impressed me most, was that they offered to my dad and consult with him every step of the way. Now, I always take my car to Don!

Students discuss Iraqi media
Middle East and Midwest panels talk in video conference
BY BETSY CUTCLIFF AND DAVID UGARTE bcutcliff@kansan.com and dugarte@kansan.com
From halfway around the world, students at the University of Kansas discussed political issues face-to-face with students at the University of Baghdad on Sunday. A tour was called
A two-part presentation called
"Iraq: What next?" brought to light the different perspectives on the Middle East. The panel brought journalism and political science students from the University of Kansas, Kansas
State University, Northwest Missouri State University and Wichita State University together with their Iraqi counterparts from Baghdad University via a live, Internet-fed video conference. The second part of the presentation was an interview with officials from the military, the government of Iraq, the U.S. embassy and the U.S. multi-national force in Iraq, in which the officials discussed how the conflict in Iraq has changed and improved since it began. Bill Lacy, director of The Dole Institute, interviewed the officials about the security and economic development in Iraq and audience members asked the officials in Iraq questions.
"There is an opinion that freedom of expression in the U.S. is a phantom."
The main themes of the conference centered on cultural differences in the media and speculation on what the democratic future for Iraq held.

Kyle Carter, Lawrence senior and panelist, said his biggest surprise during the conference was how different the two countries' media cultures seemed.

"The nature of their questions and responses showed there's this huge gap in the way we perceive
One difference highlighted was the American media's role as a government watchdog versus Saddam Hussein's loss of total control and censorship of the media.
Lamis Munir George, journalism senior at Baghdad University, said that although Iraqi media had
been privatized after the fall of Hussein's regime in 2003, factions of each media outlet were still controlled by political groups. Baghdad students questioned the American state's role in news coverage and governmental support, and asked how
various news organizations stayed objective.
Abed Al-Salam Ahmed, dean of the Baghdad Media College, said many Iraqis didn't grasp the concept of media not being influenced by a political group, which was one
thing he hoped would change in the coming years.
"There is an opinion that freedom of expression in the U.S. is a phantom," Ahmed said.
Students from both ends of the conference theorized about the
future of democracy and freedom in Iraq, and discussed how far the country's media had come since the fall of the regime.
Suzie Gilbert, broadcast and political science junior from Northwest Missouri State University, emphasized the importance of the freedom of the press and how it would play a role in establishing democracy.

"If we feel like our government isn't doing what we elected them
The importance of media in democracy wasn't the only theme in the discussion about the country's democratic future.
"You have students sitting here talking to their counterparts halfway across the world"
The spokesmen for the military and government of Iraq discussed civilians' improved quality of life. The officials said the security in the country had improved, allowing the people greater freedom of movement, confidence and hope for the future. They also said the security forces still needed the support of the multi-national forces present in Iraq.
The spokeswoman for the U.S. embassy also discussed Iraq's economic development, including plans for Iraqi students to come to the U.S. to learn technical skills they would use to help develop Iraq.
TOM VOLEK
Associate dean for
graduate studies
The video conference provided live feedback that had never been attempted at the University of Kansas. The conference was held at 8 a.m. CDT because of the evening curfew placed on Baghdad citizens. Other technical difficulties included gaining access to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad and coordinating times and equipment.
Preparation for this event began last December, and Tom Volek, associate dean for graduate studies and faculty development, said he was thrilled with how the day turned out.
"The fact that you have students sitting here talking to their counterparts halfway across the world is a big step," Volek said. "We bridged the gap this morning, between Iraq and the Midwest."

The Jayhawks watch dejectedly from the bench after the conclusion of Saturday's WNIT Championship game against the University of South Florida. The Bulls defeated the Jayhawks 75-71. Said junior guard Sade Morris, "We felt like crap and we were just sitting there. We still feel like crap."

to one with 2:22 left. As Kansas inched closer, the crowd and sense of a WNIT championship seemed to grow louder.
But Kansas never grasped the lead, leaving coach Bonnie Henrickson to console a thoroughly disappointed group in the locker room.
"It's just so tough because we made that comeback at the end of the season and then we made one the last four or five minutes of the game," senior guard Ivana Catic said. "It just makes it that much tougher to deal with everything."

Team suffers biggest loss in six years, allows eight home runs
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
Baylor shortstop Shaver Hansen crushed his third home run of the game to dead center in the top of the eighth inning, putting the Bears up 8-1.
Unfortunately for Kansas, that wasn't the game score. The Jayhawks probably would have settled for that score.
Instead that was the home run count as the Bears decided to have their own home run derby inside Hoglund Ballpark Sunday. Kansas lost the 'game with an even more lopsided score: 21-9.
"We just couldn't stop them from scoring," coach Ritch Price said. "The difference in the game was we hit one home run and they hit eight home runs."
It was the Jayhawks' biggest loss since 2002. The winter mix of rain, snow and high winds contributed to the power displayed by Baylor.
"Obviously if you hit a ball in the air you had a home run today with the way the conditions were," Price said. "But at the same time we were behind in the count on almost every single hitter."
At times it seemed as though any ball popped up and hit into the air would clear the fence.
No Jayhawk pitcher was immune to the scoring barrage. The only pitcher not to give up a run was freshman Kelson Boyer, and he only pitched the last third*

Sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson said the only thing to tell pitchers after a game like that was to stay positive.
Freshman starter Lee Ridenhour played the fewest innings of any of his starts this season. In three innings he allowed seven hits and a career-high six earned runs. But Price isn't ready to lash out against his pitching staff after one game.
of the ninth. The eight home runs were the most given up by Kansas since it played Oklahoma State in 2006.
"Tell them to stick with it and keep throwing strikes," Thompson said. "But today the conditions were pretty hard to play in."
After all it's the pitching that has allowed Kansas to be one of the most surprising teams in the Big 12 this season.
"One of the things I let everybody know is that our pitching has been fabulous." Price said.
At least for the offense on
But down the stretch the Jayhawk lineup couldn't keep up. Kansas failed to score in the last three innings while Baylor scored 10 in those innings.
Sunday, hitting wasn't a problem. Nine runs on 14 hits is usually enough for most teams to win.
This was especially evident after Baylor scored five runs in the top of the sixth to extend its lead to 11-6. Kansas immediately responded with a three-run home run by Thompson in the bottom of the sixth to cut the lead to two.
"I didn't think we were going to have to score 22 runs to win," freshman shortstop James Stanfield said. "But that's just how it happened."
Three home runs later in the top of the seventh saw Baylor up 16-9. The Bears' sophomore reliever Craig Fritsch came into the game and shut out the Jayhawks for the rest of the day.
After Price got on to some of his seniors after some close games earlier this week, he wasn't ready to bark negatives at his players after this game. Mainly he said this game should be forgotten.
"He came in and basically dominated us." Price said.
"All you can do is flush that," Price said. "I think there's no sense in beating your players up or saying something that would embarrass yourself later."

COMMENTARY
Women's team rocks Fieldhouse
Everything was perfect in Allen Fieldhouse Saturday afternoon. Except for the outcome. A boisterous crowd of 16,113 packed the Phog and Kansas, after falling down by 12 late in the game, stormed back to bring everyone to their feet. It was the perfect setting, especially for those who have been to more than one women's basketball game. Last season the only time you could truly feel the excitement of the arena was for a Sunday afternoon game against Nebraska, which drew 6,122. Saturday's loss was 50 times better.
The environment affected South Florida. For better or worse is debatable, but the Bulls took notice.
As Kansas' band played brought pregame to a close with its traditional buzzer-beating fanfare, the Bulls danced along.
As the players stepped out for the opening tipoff, the speakers were blaring and the student section (finally, an actual student section at a women's game) leapt in unison. South Florida's Jasmine Wynne looked to teammate Shanta Grace and mouthed, "I can't hear myself think."

With those guys healthy, LAAACUSA (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of the United States of America) is the clear favorite in the AL West and a World Series contender. Without those arms, the Angels are a Vladimir Guerrero injury away from being a sub-500 team.

Gordon ends his longest losing streak
STEPHEN HAWKINS
Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Jeff Gordon ended the longest winless drought of his career, beating Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson to finally win at Texas.
Gordon won for the first time in 48 races Sunday at the
It was the 17th Cup race at Texas, the track where Gordon has the only two last-place finishes in his 552 career starts. One of the 43rd-place finishes came last spring before he was the runner-up to Carl Edwards in the fall race after winning the pole.
"How ironic is this that when we go into this streak and we end it here in Texas, a place that's just eluded us for so long." Gordon said. "Incredible team effort. This
1½-mile, high-banked Texas Motor Speedway, one of only two active tracks where the four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion had never won a race.
Gordon, already the season points leader with four top-five finishes in the first six races, did a few burnouts on the frontstretch before grabbing the checkered flag and taking his No. 24 Chevrolet for a long-awaited victory lap — his first since October 2007 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte.
whole year has been amazing. What a great car. I've never had a car like this at Texas. We finally had one and it put in position."
The only track he now hasn't won at is Homestead. He'll have to wait until the season finale in November for a chance to change that.
During interviews in Victory Lane at Texas, before firing the celebratory six-shooters, Gordon had to sneak a peek at the logos on his car to remind himself of everybody he needed to thank. It had been a long time, especially by his standards.
Rick Hendrick wasn't there, so Gordon tried to talked to him by cell phone from Victory Lane. Also missing were his wife and daughter.
"I'm just thrilled. I can't wait to get home to Ingrid and Ella," Gordon said. "I know (Ella) was saying 'Go poppy go' all day long. I hate that they couldn't come."

MEN'S BASKETBALL No.3 recruit Xavier Henry may commit to Javhawks
Carl Henry, former Jayhawk and father of Oklahoma City shooting guard Xavier Henry, told Rivals.com this weekend that Xavier wanted to commit to Kansas.
As the recruiting saga continues, Kansas appears to be closer than ever to signing its top prospect.
C. J., who originally committed to Kansas in 2004 before being drafted by the New York Yankees and playing minor league baseball, was a walk on at Memphis this season. But he didn't play and took a redshirt after undergoing foot surgery.
If only it were that simple. Xavier, the No. 3 player in the nation according to Rivals.com, is still waiting for a key issue to be resolved. The issue is his brother's, C.J. Henry, status for next season.
C. J. and Xavier want to play together. Under NCAA rules, however, C.J. would have to sit out next season if he transferred to Kansas.
The Henry family is currently filing an appeal to the NCAA to allow C.J. to play next season, if it is granted, both Xavier and C.J. will most likely announce their intentions to attend Kansas.
If not, it is possible that both could stay at Memphis with its new coach. It's also possible that Xavier could opt to come to Kansas and leave C.J. behind.

Stanfield takes place of Narodowski, who has an ankle injury but will return for Iowa game

Junior shortstop David Noradowski was the only Jayhawk to start in every one of the team's first 28 games. That streak finally snapped Saturday when Noradowski had to sit with an unspecified ankle injury sustained in Friday night's game.
A two-time state champion program in high school, had started only two games entering the weekend, both at second with Narodowski at short. His limited action didn't stop him from making an impression for the layhayes in Saturday's and Sunday's games.

Enter freshman James Stanfield.
"I thought he filled in admirably," Price said of Stanfield "From my standpoint he played two games and he didn't make an error. That's the whole crucial thing when you're the backup freshman infielder is go on."
Coach Ritch Price said though there was "no doubt" Narodowski was missed from his spot at the top of the lineup, Stanfield did all that could be asked of him. Narodowski will likely return for either Tuesday's or Wednesday's contest against Iowa.
Stanfield, who made more of an influence on the defensive side of the game, cleanly fielded everything that came his way.
"I thought he filled in admirably. From my standpoint he played two games and he didn't make an error."
and was part of a 3-6-1 double play that put a final exclamation point on TJ. Walz' shutout performance in Saturday's 6-0 victory.
"At first it was pretty nerve-wracking," Stanfield said. "But once I got comfortable — I've played shortstop many times — so once I got comfortable it was just like any other game."

(Narodowski) over there, but while he's gone, he did a fantastic job this weekend."

WIND AFFECTS OFFENSIVE OUTPUTS
The Jayhawks and Bears combined for six runs, 12 hits and one home run in Saturday's game while the wind blew in from right field at 35 miles per hour, gusting up to 42 miles per hour. On Sunday, the teams combined for 30 runs on 34 hits, including nine home runs (eight by Baylor), while the wind blew towards the outfield at 26 miles per hour with gusts up to 37.

"It's heightened the awareness of the program and the kids," Henrickson said. "It's been a great platform for these kids to play on."

Yet, even when they initially were kept from scoring, the Bulls grabbed offensive rebounds in critical moments. In the end, the Jayhawks' lack of defensive stops resulted in a runner-up finish that left a sour taste in players' mouths.

Worse yet were how many people never considered those questions. Few followed this team. Few cared.

Still, Kansas' offense sure didn't help its cause.
South Florida trapped and double-teamed McCray throughout the game to "get the ball out of her hands" coach Jose Fernandez said.

Saturday is succinct evidence that women's NCAA tournament games should be played on college courts. Having witnessed what the Jayhawks drew Saturday also supports calls for the women's season to begin a month later and its tournament to stand alone from the men.

It also marked the largest crowd for a women's game played in a Big 12 arena.
"A cold night was going to happen," McCray said. "But it happened when we really needed it not to happen."
The Jayhawks' improbable run ended in a rather improbable circumstance. After drawing just 1,981 fans for Kansas' first WNIT game, Saturday's crowd of 16,113 marked the largest audience to
ever watch a Kansas women's basketball game.
Just as important as any trophy, the Jay hawks gained a fresh wave of fans by showing the entertainment value Kansas women's basketball possesses.
"This one's going to hurt for a while," Mortis said. "It's not just going to be something that goes away in a day."
"I didn't think it would ever happen, no matter if we won or not," McCray said. "But we all got it down in our heads that once you win, the fans are coming."
Still, for Morris and her teammates those thoughts strayed far from their minds in the moments after the loss.

VIEW FROM PRESS ROW
IT WAS OVER WHEN ...
South Florida's Janae Stokes hit a three-pointer at the end of the shot clock with 5:42 left in the game. The Bulls nearly turned the ball over twice during the possession, but Stokes knocked down a wide open three-pointer to give South Florida 65-53 lead. While Kansas made a comeback late in the game, Stokes' shot created too large of a lead.
GAME TO REMEMBER ...
South Florida's Jazmine Sepulveda
Sure, Sepulveda led South Florida with 18 points and made three three-pointers. But she also found herself guarding junior forward Danielle McCray, the Big 12's second leading scorer. Sepulveda held McCray below her WNIT tournament scoring average and made it difficult for her to get open on offense.

PARKS
During Kansas'tunaround late in the season. McCray has been dominating offensively. But she never really got going against South Florida despite finishing with 24 points. McCray made just 7-of-25 attempts, including eight straight misses during one stretch in the first half.
STAT OF THE NIGHT ...
38. That's the percent Kansas shot against South Florida. In four previous WNIT games, the Jayhawks never made less than 49 percent of their attempts.
— Jayson Jenks
FIRST HALF
2:29 — South Florida senior Jazmine Sepulveda hit her third three-pointer to spark a 9-2 run to end the half. As she ran back down the court, she gave a small fist pump. Sepulveda had 10 points to lead the Bulls to a 38-30 halftime lead.
PRIME PLAYS
9:05 Junior Danielle McCray grabbed the fifth offensive rebound of the possession and barely got her shot over the rim to finally score. It was part of a 7-0 KU run that closed the South Florida lead to three.
12:36 — Moments after South Florida's Brittany Denson converted an uncontested layup, freshman Aishah Sutherland lost the handle amidst South Florida's full-court press. South Florida's Janae Stokes converted the easy layup to put her team ahead 16-6. Coach Bonnie Henrickson called a 30-second timeout to ease the bleeding.
SECOND HALF
12:39 —Sepulveda played the passing lane like the most crafty pickpockets in all of college basketball. With McCray giving chase, Sepulveda finished the uncontested layup to give South Florida an eight point lead. South Florida maintained the 6-10 point lead for most of the half.
3:36 — With the shot clock winding down, Stokes hit a heart-breaking three-pointer from the left wing to give South Florida its biggest lead. Stokes, an emotional player, gave a battle cry that could be heard throughout the quiet Fieldhouse. But unlike her performance to Soula Boy in pregame warmups, Stokes did not dance.
0:27 — Sepulveda hit a fifteer foot jumper to make it a two-possession game, essentially finalizing the outcome. Junior Sade Morris sagged down to help on the drive but left South Florida's leading scorer open on the wing.

GAME NOTES
MCCRAY SETS
NEW MARK
Junior forward Danielle McCray finished her five-game tear through the WNIT as the tournament's scoring record. McCray totaled 147 points, surpassing the previous mark of 129 points set by Wisconsin's Jolene Anderson in 2007.
McCray averaged 29.4 points in the WNIT and never scored less than 24 points in a game.
"She's been a monster" coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
MORRIS, MCCRAY HONORED
Junior forward Danielle McCray and junior guard Sade Morris were named to the All-tournament team following the conclusion of Saturday's championship game.
The pair joined Boston College's Carolyn Swords, Illinois
State's Kristi Cirone and South Florida's Jazmine Sepulveda and Shantia Grace, who was named the tournament MVP.
FOUL TROUBLE
HAMPERS KANSAS
Throughout the game, Kansas' two leading scorers this season were forced to the bench because of foul trouble.
Junior forward Danielle McCray and junior guard Sade Morris picked up two fouls in the first half and missed crucial minutes before halftime. Morris picked up her fourth foul with 15 minutes left in the game and had to sit for much of the second half.
"I think foul trouble kind of messed us up," McCray said.

NCAA
Spartans to face Tar Heels in championship game
NANCY ARMOUR
Associated Press
DETROIT — Michigan State has been itching for this do-over since December.
Not only is the NCAA title at stake when the Spartans play North Carolina tonight, but Michigan State will try to avenge
that 35-point beatdown the Tar Heels laid on them four months ago. It was the most lopsided loss for Michigan State since 1996. Tom Izzos first year as coach.
"We got embarrassed," Kalin Lucas said after
Oh, how things have changed
the 98-63 loss in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, also played at Ford Field.
"I really think it's a different team from when we played them back here."
The Spartans (31-6) are an inspired bunch these days, playing for their third national title and the pride of their downtrodden state.
"The whole country is going through an extremely difficult time period right now. Perhaps it's even a little more difficult for those people here. I appreciate that and understand what they're grabbing onto," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. "I'm happy for them. I will not be as happy for them on Monday night."
DEON THOMPSON North Carolina forward
Few places have been hit harder by the economic crisis than Michigan, Detroit in particular, and folks are desperate for something to rally around, even if only for a few hours.
The Spartans have been happy to oblige, knocking off not one, but two No.1 seeds to get to the NCAA title game.
Now comes another in North Carolina (33-4). It will be the fifth meeting between the Tar Heels and Spartans in the NCAA tournament, and North Carolina has won the first four. The Tar Heels
are an early 7-point favorite.
"I hope we were a ray of sunshine, a distraction for them, a diversion, anything else we can be," Izzo said after the Spartans ran over Hasheem Thabeet and Connecticut in an 82-73 upset
Saturday night. "We're not done vet."
The best conference in the country got seven teams in the tournament, and two made it all the way to the Final Four. But both went down Saturday night and, really, it wasn't even close for Connecticut or Villanova. After banging and brawling their way through the Big East season, both teams were outmuscled all night.
The mighty Big East, however, is.
The Spartans were a weakened bunch when they played the Tar Heels back in December. Center Goran Suton was out with a knee injury, and Michigan State was playing its fourth game in a week.
They managed to stay with Carolina early but had fallen behind by 14 at the half and were thoroughly out-matched in the second half.
But Suton is back — way back. He led the rough-and-tumble Big Ten in rebounding, and was picked as the most outstanding player of the Midwest Regional after averaging a double-double in the first four games. He only had seven boards and four points Saturday, but he played a big part in smothering Thabeet, who wasn't much of a factor despite his 17 points and six rebounds.
Raymar Morgan shook off his late-season slump with a spectacular game, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds and five steals against the Huskies. Lucas, the Big Ten player of the year, had
Then there's the crowd factor. With their Breslin Center home court just 90 miles away, Michigan State is playing the closest to home of any Final Four team since Kansas won the 1998 title in
Kansas City, and Detroit is awash in green and white. A Final Fourrecord crowd of 72,456 turned out Saturday night, and about two-thirds of the fans were there for the Spartans.
How's this for some karma? Magic Johnson, Spartan-in-chief since leading Michigan State to its first title in 1979, will present the game ball before Monday's title game along with Larry Bird.
North Carolina, however, is just as daunting.
"We definitely know they've gotten better," Deon Thompson said. "They didn't have Suton last time, and he's a big-time player. I really
think it's a different team from
when we played them back here!
With Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington back from last year's Final Four team, the Tar Heels were the unanimous preseason No. 1 and a fifth national championship seemed a given. But they looked vulnerable after losing to Florida State in the ACC tournament, especially with Ty Lawson missing that game and two others with a bum big toe.
"We are a confident team, but we will not be overconfident Monday night."
So much for that.
ROY WILLIAMS North Carolina coach
They've won every tournament
game by 12 points or more. They took a lead three minutes into the game Saturday night and never trailed again.
They had four players in double figures, led by Lawson's 22 points and eight assists. Ellington chipped in with
another 20, and Hansbrough had a double-double with 18 points and 11 boards.
They limited the Wildcats to 33 percent shooting, including just 5-of-37 from 3-point range.
"We are a confident team, but we will not be overconfident Monday night," Williams said. "That's just not going to happen.
"I've coached in games before where we beat a team easily or got killed and turned around and beat them the second time. My team knows that they'll have the battle of the state of Michigan."

Kansas has one victory, one loss against Texas Tech
This weekend's two game series against Texas Tech seemed to epitomize the ups and downs of Kansas' softball season so far.
The layhawks were dominant Saturday afternoon, looking like the team that had beaten four of the top 25 teams in the country, as they run-ruled the Red Raiders 10-0. But as good as they were the previous day, Kansas struggled on Sunday, dropping the second game 4-2.
"We fought hard to the end, but it's still frustrating," said senior outfielder Dougie McCauley, who tallied four hits over the weekend. "We just made some mistakes and they took advantage of them."
Mistakes and all, the two games truly looked like polar opposites.
Saturday's contest was entirely one-sided, as the Jayhawks raked up 11 hits and the 10 runs, led by three RBI apiece from McCaulley
Junior pitcher Sarah Vertelka turned in a strong outing from the circle, allowing only two hits while shutting out the Red Raiders over six innings.
"You talk about the three things you need to win: good pitching, defense and timely hitting," said coach Tracy Bunge. "We got all three on Saturday — Sarah was super out there, we made all the plays behind her, and we got a bunch of key hits with runners on base."
and sophomore shortstop Kolby Fesmire. Kansas also blasted three home runs during the game, one by sophomore outfielder Allie Clark and two by sophomore outfielder Liz Kocon.
After getting ahead early with a 2-1 lead on Sunday, the Jayhawks appeared ready to continue their torrid pace at the plate and add to their lead. Despite a number of chances however, Kansas stranded eight runners on base, after leaving only three on base during Saturday's

GAME STATS
game. Vertelka wasn't as sharp on Sunday either, allowing three runs on four hits. The biggest issue for Bunge, however, was poor fielding.
"We really shot ourselves in the foot on defense," she said of the team's three errors. "I think we got good enough pitching to win, but when you give away extra bases and opportunities — you aren't going to win many games. Give credit to Texas Tech though, they played a better game than we did."
With the loss in game two, Kansas fell to 2-4 in the Big 12, and 12-21 overall. The jayhawks will need to shake off the defeat in a hurry
because they play host to Nebraska for a doubleheader on Wednesday. Bunge said she believed her team would do just that.

TRACK & FIELD
Kansas, Nebraska pair up for first place
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
Senior sprinter Nickesha Anderson had been in training mode for months, waiting to compete in her last season of outdoor track. After this weekend's meet in Arizona, one could say all that training paid off.
The Kansas track and field team headed west to Tucson, Ariz., for the Arizona Invitational, better known as the Jim Click Shootout.
It was the team's first official meet of the outdoor season and it started off with nicer weather than last weekend.
The layhawks managed to get several top finishes throughout the day. Anderson collecting victories in three out of the four events she competed in.
"It was a lot better than Kansas and the weather we train in," said senior spinner Victoria Howard.
"I think it went well for my first meet. I wasn't planning on doing anything drastic," Anderson said.
Individually, Anderson got victories in the 100-meter (11.53 seconds) and 200-meter dashes (23.56 seconds), not only taking first place but also regionally qualifying for the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Anderson said it had been quite some time since she has had to compete in multiple events in one day, but coming into the meet mentally prepared to compete in multiple events helped.
Anderson also participated in the 4x100 relay with senior Victoria Howard, sophomore Kendra
Bradley and junior Aubree Dorsey taking first with a time of 45.89 seconds.
"She ran an amazing back stretch," Howard said of Anderson's performance.
Howard placed third in both the 100- (11.96 seconds) and 200-meter (24.53 seconds) dash events.
Howard said that the 4x100 relay wasn't what they had expected, but with the new members of the relay team they hoped to get faster as the season progresses.
Anderson also participated on the 4x400 relay team placing second with a time of 3:48.45.
"It's early and only the first meet, but you only get better week after week," Howard said.

After totaling the victories and top eight performances, Kansas and Nebraska took first place with a total of 496.50 points.
The Jim Click Shootout was different than other track meets Kansas has participated in this year. Teams were paired up according to their conference and combined total points to determine which conference won.
Kansas and the University of Nebraska represented the Big 12 Conference, University of Washington and University of Arizona represented the Pac-10 and Penn State and University of Wisconsin represented the Big 10 Conference.
The Jayhawks will compete at the John Jacobs Invitational Saturday in Norman, Okla.

Tiger Woods, guests play at Augusta National
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Augusta National looked like most other private clubs on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
But most clubs don't get this kind of star power.
Tiger Woods, sporting a goatee, was on the course for the first time since his runner-up finish last year at the Masters, playing nine holes and hitting 3-wood on the 10th hole before walking over to a sandwich stand that catered to players and guests.
Guests?
That's right. On the day before practice rounds begin for the season's first major, guests are allowed to play on the hallowed and supremely manicured grounds of Augusta National.
Strangely enough, members are not allowed to bring a guest on this day. Only former Masters champions have that privilege.
That explains why Mark O'Meara was playing with his caddie, why Mike Weir teed off with his brother, and why Bernhard Langer had the ultimate family outing — he played with his daughter, while son Stefan caddied for him.
Woods played No.10, then hopped over to the 18th and called it a day.

Renters seek ways to combat increase in trespassers, property damage and burglaries
Students worry about safety of houses
BY KAYLA REGAN kregan@kansan.com
One night last semester, Laura Mueller woke up and saw a man banging on her third floor window, demanding to be let in.
Despite the city's overall decrease in crime, the Lawrence Police Department reported increased incidents of trespassing, burglary and criminal damage to property in 2008 than in 2007. Mueller said that she took basic safety precautions, like keeping her doors locked, but that because she lived in an older home, it was harder to secure her property.
"It was eight girls all in a room screaming trying to get him away," Mueller said. "He kept trying to open the window and right when the cops came he went

downstairs."
"Our door doesn't latch well so it goes open because it won't hold, our back door falls off, and our windows don't work," Mueller said. "The landlords fix it in the cheapest and fastest way they can. It lasts for
a little while then it breaks again."
Robert Baker, ed. of Housing and Credit Counseling Services, said he frequently received complaints about a property's faulty safety features, such as broken locks or entrance keypads. Baker said he

understood why students would want to take such matters into their own hands. But he said renters needed their
permission before fixing problem themselves, because it could alter the property value or their taxes.
Aaron Caruthers, Lawrence senior, said he couldn't do much to prevent people from trespassing, stealing and destroying his property. Since moving into his house on 13th and Ohio streets in August.
Caruthers said cell phones, keys and other items had been stolen from his home, although he did
stop a group of men from taking his couch.
Caruthers said he had also dealt with people damaging his property, like the time his TV satellite was kicked over, or when someone smashed the chairs on his porch.
"It's drunk people trying to destroy your stuff," Caruthers said. "Nothing seems to go right for very long."
Mueller also said people coming home from the bars caused problems around her house on 13th and Ohio streets. She said people had broken into her house at least twice. Although the intruders

SOFTBALL
Kansas has one victory, one loss against Texas Tech
BYBEN WARD
bward@kansan.com
This weekend's two game series against Texas Tech seemed to epitomize the ups and downs of Kansas' softball season so far.
The Jayhawks were dominant Saturday afternoon, looking like the team that had beaten four of the top 25 teams in the country, as they run-ruled the Red Raiders 10-0. But as good as they were the previous day, Kansas struggled on Sunday, dropping the second game 4-2.
"We fought hard to the end, but it's still frustrating," said senior outfit doctor Duelge McCaulley, who tallied four hits over the weekend. "We just made some mistakes and they took advantage of them."
Mistakes and aIL, the two games truly looked like polar opposites.
Saturday's contest was entirely one-sided, as the Jayhawks racked up 11 hits and the 10 runs, led by three RBI apiece from McCaulley
and sophomore shortstop Kolby Fesmire, Kansas also blasted three home runs during the game, one by sophomore outfielder Allie Clark and two by sophomore outfielder Liz Kocon.
"You talk about the three things you need to win: good pitching, defense and timely hitting," said coach Tracy Bunge. "We got all three on Saturday — Sarah was super out there, we made all the plays behind her, and we got a bunch of key hits with runners on base."
Junior pitcher Sarah Vertelka turned in a strong outing from the circle, allowing only two hits while shutting out the Red Raiders over six innings.
After getting ahead early with a 2-1 lead on Sunday, the layhawks appeared ready to continue their torrid pace at the plate and add to their lead. Despite a number of chances however, Kansas stranded eight runners on base, after leaving only three on base during Saturday's

game. Vertelka wasn't as sharp or Sunday either, allowing three run on four hits. The biggest issue fo Bunge, however, was poor fielding.
"We really shot ourselves in the foot on defense," she said of the team's three errors. "I think we got good enough pitching to win, but when you give away extra bases and opportunities — you aren't going to win many games. Give credit to Texas Tech though, they played a better game than we did."
because they play host to Nebraska for a doubleheader on Wednesday. Bunge said she believed her team would do just that.

Kansas, Nebraska pair up for first place
BY JASON BAKER

Senior sprinter Nickesha Anderson had been in training mode for months, waiting to compete in her last season of outdoor track. After this weekend's meet in Arizona, one could say all that training paid off.
The Kansas track and field team headed west to Tucson, Arizona, for the Arizona Invitational, better known as the Jimm Click Shootout.
It was the team's first official meet of the outdoor season and it started off with ricer weather than last weekend.
"It was a lot better than Kansas and the weather we train in," said senior spinner Victoria Howard.
The Jayhawks managed to get several top finishes throughout the day. Anderson collecting victories in three out of the four events she competed in.
"I think it went well for my first meet. I wasn't planning on doing anything drastic." Anderson said.
Anderson said it had been quite some time since she has had to compete in multiple events in one day, but coming into the meet mentally prepared to compete in multiple events helped.
Individually, Anderson got victories in the 100-meter (11.53 seconds) and 200-meter dashes (23.56 seconds), not only taking first place but also regionally qualifying for the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Anderson also participated in the 4x100 relay with senior Victoria Howard, sophomore Kendra
Bradley and junior Aubree Dorsey taking first with a time of 45.89 seconds.
"She ran an amazing back stretch," Howard said of Anderson's performance.
Howard placed third in both the 100- (11.96 seconds) and 200-meter (24.53 seconds) dash events.
Howard said that the 4x100 relay wasn't what they had expected, but with the new members of the relay team they hoped to get faster as the season progresses.
Anderson also participated on the 4x400 relay team placing second with a time of 3:48.45.
"It's early and only the first meet, but you only get better week after week." Howard said.
After totaling the victories and top eight performances, Kansas and Nebraska took first place with a total of 496.50 points.

The Jim Click Shootout was different than other track meets Kansas has participated in this year. Teams were paired up according to their conference and combined total points to determine which conference won.
Kansas and the University of Nebraska represented the Big 12 Conference, University of Washington and University of Arizona represented the Pac-10 and Penn State and University of Wisconsin represented the Big 10 Conference.
The Jayhawks will compete at the John Jacobs Invitational Saturday in Norman, Okla.

SYDNEY — Australian researchers抄ising papers belonging to the author of "Schindler's List" discovered a yellowing roll of 801 men saved from the Holocaust by the German industrialist — the very copy the writer used to bring the story to the world's attention, a curator said Monday.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — The former chief of the Khmer Rouge's most notorious prison said his group would not have risen to power in the 1970s if it weren't for the policies of former U.S. President Richard Nixon and his top diplomat, Henry Kissinger.
The 13-page document is a copy of one of Oskar Schindler's famed compilations of names that eventually included 1,100 men and women he saved by employing them in his factories in World War II Germany.
Kaing Guek Eav, better known as Duch, made the comments Monday before Cambodia's genocide tribunal during testimony charting his personal journey to revolution.
He also said he realized early on that the Khmer Rouge would end up as a disaster for Cambodia.
3. China announces plan to reform health care
BEIJING — China announced Monday the outlines of a thorough reform of the health care system that pledges to provide improved services to all citizens by 2020, tackling a critical issue that has become a major source of public dissatisfaction
While many details of the plan remain unclear, the announcement underscored the communist government's need to at least appear to be making progress on the issue.
Public health care has been underfunded for years, and the high cost and poor availability of services are among the biggest complaints of the Chinese public.

ORLANDO, Fla. — A Florida woman accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter rarely showed emotion in jail but became unhinged after she found out a toddler's remains had been found near her family's home, according to interviews with jail staff released Monday.
A shift supervisor at the jail where Casey Anthony is being held told investigators that Anthony cried and asked for sedatives after learning of the Dec. 11 discovery of the remains. DNA tests completed days later showed the remains belonged to her daughter, Caylee Anthony, who'd been missing for six months.

Missouri has been No.1 in puppy mills for decades, with fly-by-night breeders — both licensed and unlicensed — selling pups churned out by dogs that spend their entire lives in cages. The pets are sold through classified ads, in pet stores and over the internet.

University suspends faculty ticket discounts
Staff must pay full price for basketball, Lied Center tickets
by the numbers
BY JENNIFER TORLINE jtoiline@kansan.com
For 28 years, Douglas Houston has purchased basketball season tickets with a faulty discount.
$382,000 — amount spent on ticket discounts in the Athletics Department
AIX
$451,000 — how much the discounts cost the University for the 2008-2009 school year (according to an e-mail)
$69,000 — amount spent on ticket discounts to the Lied Center
1,618 — the number of discounted Lied Center tickets
purchased by faculty and staff for the 2008-2009 season
2,033 — the number of free Lied Center tickets used by retirees for the 2008-2009 season
Martin said the University had covered the costs of the discounts
Martin said employees had received the 20 percent athletic discount since 1999. While basketball season tickets cost $1,195 regularly, faculty and staff have been able to buy season tickets for $956.
But when the University recently announced that it was temporarily getting rid of fatulty and staff discounted tickets. Houston, professor of business, said he was deciding whether to pay the full price for tickets next year. It's a huge increase, he said, and the discounts were an important part of employee compensation.
Out of the $451,000 the University paid for tickets, Martin said $382,000 went to athletics tickets and $69,000 went to Lied Center tickets.
2,101 — the number of athletics discounted tickets purchased by faculty and staff for the 2007-2008 season
The only exception to the suspension is football season tickets for next fall, because many faculty members have already purchased the tickets.
"In order to protect the academic and research mission, we decided that we would temporarily suspend those discounts," said Jack Martin, deputy director of University Communications.

An employee at Allen Fieldhouse scans a fans ticket before the April 4 aftop of the WINT Championship game against the USF Bulls. The University recently announced that discount tickets for University faculty would be discontinued.
"Many long-term employees are not taking huge salaries, and this is a part of who we are." Houston said. "I don't happy, I'm mad as hell."
The suspension includes the 20 percent discounted athletics tickets and the 15 percent discounted Lied Center tickets available for both current and retired faculty and staff. Free Lied Center tickets for retirees have also been suspended.
The University's tightening budget is the reason behind the suspension of the discounted tickets for the 2009-2010 school year, according to an e-mail Provost Richard Lariviere sent to faculty and staff on Wednesday.
Rvan McGeenev/KANSAN
The e-mail stated that the 2008-2009 discounted tickets cost the University $451,000 — the equivalent of 11 faculty positions.
"We cannot in good conscience lay off additional employees in order to maintain this discount," Lariviere said in the e-mail.
for several years because of an agreement between the University and Kansas Athletics. The Athletics Department pays for utility costs and facilities and the University covers the costs for discounted faculty and staff tickets.
Martin said it was unlikely that the Athletics Department would try to cover the employee discounts for the 2009-2010 school year because the economy also affected the department.
Faculty and staff have had mixed feelings since the announcement.
"I think that the faculty discount was a really nice thing, but in light of the University's budget situation, I completely understand why the University wanted to stop it," said Susan Twombly, professor of education and chair of the SenEx basketball committee.
But Joe Reitz, professor emeritus of business, said the discount removal was an insult to the faculty and staff, who were the backbone of the University.
"There are a lot of ways to save
money and the University is taking away one of the very few perks that faculty and staff enjoy," Reitz said. "It basically shows that at least some administrators have no respect for the people who do real work for the University."
"The retiree benefits are an expression of thanks from the University for a service given," Niebaum said. "To have the benefits reduced shows the University no longer values your contributions."
Jerry Niebaum, president of the Endacott Society, the University's organization for retired faculty and staff, said members had expressed concern over the withdrawal.
In a tightening economy where retired faculty must live on fixed incomes, Niebaum said it would be especially difficult for retired
Niebaum and several members have met with leaders of Kansas University Endowment Association and the Lied Center during the past week to discuss the discount suspension.
Many ticket prices for the 2009- 2010 season at the Lied Center have been reduced, said Tim Van Leer, the center's executive director, and the 15 percent discount that faculty and staff received in the past could be offset by lower prices.
faculty to be able to pay full price for tickets.
Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said faculty and staff would still be able to sit in the same seats for basketball games. He also said faculty and staff would be able to buy half-season ticket packages, a benefit not offered to the general public.
Martin said student tickets were discounted through a Student
Senate arrangement that was different than the way that faculty and staff discounts were arranged.
"I know no reason that students should be on vacation." Matthew said.
Martin said once the budget
improved, the University hoped to return the discount for faculty and staff.

OLYMPICS Baseball makes bid for return at 2016 Games
Hold true for today, the Baylor game might repeat sooner than expected.
WASHINGTON — Baseball will be adding a women's component to its bid to get reinstated for the 2016 Olympics, after failing to unite with women's softball.
The president of the International Baseball Federation, Harvey Schiller, told The Associated Press the change will be made in the next few days.
"The main reason is the growth of the game, and, obviously, we have a constituency which makes up women's baseball, and they're asking, 'What about us?' Schiller said in a telephone interview Monday. "We want the world to know that we have women's baseball."
The move comes a few weeks after women's softball rejected baseball's proposal for a joint baseball-softball bid. The two
sports are among seven competing for two openings for new sports at the 2016 Olympics; the International Olympic Committee will decide in October.
Schiller estimated that between 300,000 and 500,000 women and girls play baseball worldwide, a figure which includes Little League and T-ball.
Jim Glennie, president of the American Women's Baseball Federation, called news of the expanded bid "wonderful." Glennie recruits women for the U.S. national team, which competes in the Women's World Cup of Baseball.
Glennie, an assistant attorney general in Michigan, said he didn't know of any high schools in the U.S. that offer women's baseball, and that girls who want to play baseball beyondLittle League face an uphill battle.

From there, it was pretty much all "Showtime," all the time — but not for Michigan State. Heck, Magic didn't even stick around for the end of the game. He was spotted walking up the tunnel with 3:30 remaining.
Spartans coach Tom lzzo tried to call a timeout to stop the onslaught with 6:45 left in the first half. His team came out and promptly
Goran Suton led the Spartans with 17 points, and Kalin Lucas, the Big Ten player of the year, had 14 — most scored once the game was out of hand, which was very early in this one. Michigan State pulled within 13 a couple times late in the second half, and the crowd of 72,922 — mostly pulling for the Spartans — tried to make some
turned it over — one of 14 in the first half, compared to only 12 baskets.
But for most of the game, cavernous Ford Field had the atmosphere of a Lions game, save the few thousand Tar Heel fans whose Carolina Blue team put in a much better blue-collar effort than the team that was supposed to pride itself on that.
It was, almost literally, over before it began. Ellington had a
As for that 98-63 beatdown Carolina put on Michigan State in this same building back on Dec. 37 No fluke. In fact, Detroit might want to give Ford Field a nice, long break. The Lions went 0-16 here last season, and there was no halt to the suffering on this night.
During pregame introductions, Williams walked over to shake hands with Izzo, who was distracted, drawing up a play on the greaseboard in the huddle. He jokingly showed the diagram to Williams
This one came four years after his first championship - and for the first time, with a roster full of his own recruits.
double-pump scoop layup and a 3-pointer and Hansbroughspotted up and sank a 14-foot jumper — all in the first 4.25 to put Carolina ahead 17-7. It never got closer.
Izzo conceded in the lead-up to the game that if both teams played their best, Michigan State would lose. He'll never find out if he was right because, while North Carolina was more than ready, the Spartans never showed up.
Williams, never afraid to cry at these things, joined lim Calhoun, Billy Donovan and Mike Kryzewski as the fourth active coach (13th overall) to win multiple titles.
The Spartans, meanwhile, were having trouble simply getting the ball in after Tar Heel buckets, turning it over that way twice if the first 6 minutes, part of a depressing day that didn't do justice to the effort they put in to get here.
— and you know what: it probably wouldn't have mattered.

CELEBRITIES Vick's stark finances mean bankruptcy will be redone
Vick would need to earn $7.5 million to $8 million a year to break even over the next three years.
RICHMOND, Va. — A bankruptcy judge rejected Michael Vick's Chapter 11 plan and, in light of his finances, ordered a new one.
Vick has about $210,000 but owes $1 million in fees from the bankruptcy case and about $3.7 million in legal bills — some $13,700 a day since he filed for Chapter 11 protection in July.
Vick also faces $200,000 in annual living expenses from his two Virginia homes and three vehicles. His only guaranteed income is a $10-an-hour construction job, a part of his parole.

COMMENTARY
Start your fantasy homework now
The first pitches are crossing the plate for MLB teams this week, and for the first time in years I have resisted the temptress that is fantasy baseball
empress that is fantasy baseball.
Apart from football, I've feebly attempted to expand my fake sports ownership resume beyond the gridiron to hoops and hockey. But each time the commissioner usually scheduled the draft for 10 p.m. on a Saturday — seriously — and I'd give up on my auto-drafted team a week or two into the season. There was no time to keep up on Rick Ankiel's injury status.
I didn't even know I had Joey Gathright on my bench. Whatever.
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
While thoughts of "This is the year I get serious" still exist, this is no period for thoughts to wander too far from pigskin. Like NFL general managers, fantasy football owners sweat over weather, defensive match-ups and injury reports during the season. Like NFL GMs, we orchestrate trades and scour free agencies in
search of improvement. And like NFL GMs, we shouldn't sleep on the offseason — certainly not ones like this year's.
Come draft day, you never want to be That Person. You don't want to be That Person who brings an obnoxious significant other to the draft. That Person who can't pronounce Houshmandzadeh. And definitely not That Person who didn't do their homework during the offseason. Spend too much time apart from the football news wire and you'll be That Person Who Drafts Brett Favre in Round Three.
If you've yet to stay abreast
of this offseason's hot stove,
the obvious starting point is
45 minutes east to Arrowhead
Stadium: home of the Bernard
Pollard parlay. I'm still searching
for the high stakes fantasy owner
who slipped Pollard the Beniamins
before last September's Pats game.
Recall that, in one fell swoop,
Pollard brought New England
quarterback Tom Brady to his
knees, Matt Cassel to the spotlight
(and eventually to KC), former
Denver Broncos quarterback
Jay Cutler to tears and then
to Chicago, and an inebriated
Internet sensation Kyle Orton to
the Broncos in exchange for Cutler
Yes, you'll want to know that Cassel is only signed to a one-year deal, so he'll have the incentive to put up numbers comparable to last season's breakout 3,693 yards and 21 touchdowns to land a hefty payday. You'll also want to remember who exactly comprises his offensive line and perhaps even try to get an idea of Larry
THE
MORNING
BREW
Johnson's mind-set in relation to his latest outfit. Seriously, the guy looks like he's trying to decide between being Flavor Flav and Larry the Cable Guy.
But I digress. The point is, if you're fired up about your baseball rotisserie league, then Godspeed. But if you're planning on drafting a fantasy football squad this August, you may want to know Favre is still retired (so far) and that Orton is draining a fifth of Jack Daniels somewhere in Denver right now.

Jordan elected to Hall of Fame class
DAN GELSTON Associated Press
DETROIT — Air Jordan has a new name: Hall of Famer.
Michael Jordan was elected to the class of 2009 on Monday, set for induction in September with his Dream Team teammates David Robinson and John Stockton.
Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and Rutgers women's coach C. Vivian Stringer are also part of a class announced in Detroit, site of the men's Final Four.
Springfield, Mass., home of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Jordan's Hall of Fame selection was a slam dunk after he retired as perhaps the greatest player in history. And he gave much of the credit to his college coach.
His soaring dunks, Nike commercials and "Air Jordan" nickname helped stamp him as one the most recognizable athletes around the world.
He finished a 15-year career with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards with 32,292 points — the third-highest total in league history, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone.
His final career average of 30.12 goes down as the best, just ahead of Wilt Chamberlain's 30.07.

"This was probably the toughest conditions I've ever played during," Powers said.
Even with the fierce winds, Kansas was able to finish fourth in
the tournament. The team finished with a score of 958 strokes, which put it nine strokes over third place finisher Oral Roberts University.
"I think we pulled together as good as we could." Powers said
Coach Erin O'Neil was pleased with the top-five finish at the tournament and said the team did well under the conditions. O'Neil said the team was able to keep playing well in the second round on Sunday, which showed they were able to stay in the game mentally.
Powers hit an 84 on the first round but shaved off 10 strokes to 74 for the second round on Sunday. On Monday, Powers scored a 79, which made her final score 237. Thiry was slightly more consistent across the three
With 30 degree weather and 40 mph winds, not many people would head for the golf course. But with a familiar course, sophomore Grace Thiry and junior Emily Powers found the edge they needed to put themselves in the lead for Kansas at the Susie Berning Maxwell Classic Sunday and Monday. After three rounds, the two layhawks were tied for 11th place overall.

Stick to your budget precisely, or you could get into trouble. Giving in to temptation once makes it easier the next time. Don't even get near that slippery slope.

Your investigations reveal hidden problems. Make detailed lists of whatever you find that could be difficult. The more you know or can guess, the more successful your mission will be.
You'll soon have a much better understanding of the entire situation. Keep your passions under control and your partner at your side. The two of you are wise to stay together, even if you don't agree.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Students should consider taking a ride on the train
When students return home during breaks and the occasional weekend, most of them either drive or take a plane. One option students rarely consider is taking the train. Although commuters often travel by rail
The Amtrak train station in Lawrence will receive $600,000 as part of the American Recovery Act passed by Congress this year, according to a recent article from the Lawrence Journal-World. The ARA has allotted $1.3 billion for the Secretary of Transportation to give grants to Amtrak for investments. This plan aims to build infrastructure that will help the economy in the long run. Amtrak said in a press release March 25 that it would use $40 million of this money to upgrade and improve accessibility for
disabled persons in more than 200 stations across the country. The Santa Fe depot in Lawrence will receive funds to build a new passenger platform that will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Amtrak trains stop at six
KANSAN'S
OPINION
stations in Kansas:
Lawrence, Topeka,
Garden City,
Newton, Hutchinson
and Dodge City.
Amtrak recorded
4,000 boardings and
alightments at the Lawrence station during 2008, which reflects a relatively low number of passengers. These low numbers show a lack of awareness about the station's availability.
"I would rather take a train because they're better for the environment and the community," Stiles said. "You don't need directions."
Matt Stiles, Lawrence junior,
said he liked trains but did not
know there was a station in
Lawrence.
Despite the apparent lack of awareness about the Lawrence train station, rail travel is becoming more popular nationwide. Amtrak states on its Web site that the company has seen an overall increase in its
number of passengers nationwide in each of the past six years. Amtrak trains stop in more than 500 cities.
Ticket prices are one of the benefits of taking the train. Train tickets generally cost less than airfare. A trip from Lawrence to Chicago costs $192 by train, but with US Airways it costs upward of $200, not including baggage fees and depending on how far in advance you book your flight. Flying may take less time, but you'll see more of the United States traveling by train now than you would otherwise. Amtrak offers a student discount of 15 percent after you purchase a $20 discount card, so if you take multiple train trips in a year, purchasing a discount card could save you money.
Claire Hinrichsen, Lecompton sophomore, used EuroRail trains to travel around Europe during a high school trip. She said people in the United States should utilize trains more often.
"It would cut down on cars and gas usage, and there would be less pollution," Hinrichsen said. "I don't know why we don't use them more."

SCIENCE
MCAT forgets purpose, puts focus on flash cards
SAI THE SCIENCE GUY
SAIEOLMSBEE
NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CALL IT THE ICU.
THE ADVANTAGE OF GETTING AND HEALING BACK
Last Saturday, I spent about five hours staring into a computer screen, determining the ultimate destiny of my career. My months of preparation and years of study will be boiled down to a two-digit number, supposedly representing the entirety of my knowledge of physical sciences, biological sciences and verbal reasoning. This test is the apogee of every pre-medical college student's experience and is both feared and respected. This test is the MCAT, and for all its influence and weight in medical school applications, this gauntlet of standardized test questions fails to evaluate the scientific literacy of students.
On the surface, the idea of testing a student's general scientific knowledge and reasoning seems generally benign and useful, but the main flaw with the MCAT is not what it tests, it's what it does not test.
THE ADVANTAGE OF GETTING INTO MED SCHOOL?
To do well on the science portions of the MCAT today, one has to memorize thousands of facts and formulas. But this is not an accurate reflection of what a doctor actually does. There is more to science in the real world than what can be written on flash cards. The MCAT does not test a student's ability to judge the validity of a scientific study or attack a problem using the scientific method. Instead
The Medical College Admission Test, or MCAT, is actually fairly new to the field of medicine. The whole idea of testing medical aptitude didn't start until 1928, when an effort began to combat high dropout rates in medical school. Incoming medical students were not adequately prepared for the academic onslaught of intensive medical schooling, and medical school administrators created a standardized test as a method to screen incoming students for their educational potential.

it encourages pre-med students to blindly memorize terms and formulas without stopping to ask why they are important.
Scientific literacy is becoming more and more integral to the medical profession. With new drugs, novel therapies and dynamic biological concepts, doctors are more than just individuals following a user manual for patients. Doctors need to have the ability to understand whether a certain clinical trial supports the safety and efficacy of a drug and eventually administer it to the right people at the right time in the right dosage. Medical schools should evaluate incoming students on their ability to examine data for its scientific merit.
The MCAT does a great job at being what it is. It is mind-bogglingly difficult and gives medical admissions offices a clear number with which to rank their applicants. But it does not adequately prepare undergraduate
students for the scientific rigors of a medical career.
For example, instead of giving a passage concerning the function of the kidneys, the MCAT should give a section on the scientific study of a drug's effects on the kidneys. Instead of forcing a regurgitation of kidney facts, the student should be tested on his or her ability to interpret the difference between whether a study supports or refutes a hypothesis.
The test needs to stray, at least in a small way, from the evaluation of a student's memorization of facts to a measure of the student's ability to make scientific decisions.
Although I have already spent my five hours of taking the MCAT, future pre-med students should demand that their five hours have fewer formulas and more science.

RELATIONSHIPS
Making first move may be tough,but it's a guy's job
The old adage of men and women being from separate planets is not new to anyone, yet I find myself more puzzled than ever before. The Gilmore Girls said it best when claiming that it's not Mars and Venus, because at least they're both planets, but more like Venus and a bowl of soup. (Men are obviously the soup in this case.)
Aside from the vast discrepancy in maturity levels, with the increasingly popular independent-woman type, the rules of dating have become completely undefined. It is no longer a black and white issue, but instead a big gray mess. Who is supposed to do which embarrassing action at what inconvenient time?
As a freshman I anticipated the college-dating world to differ from high school immensely. Yet, it seems that while girls are continuing to mature, the boys are still yelling out arbitrary bird-calls from the dorm stoop at 2 a.m. and having "condom wars" in the community bathroom. I had hoped that living on our own meant we had become respectable adults, but apparently I was completely off-base.
Opening doors, paying for meals and offering that jacket on a chilly evening are not necessary acts in today's dating world. These old fashioned tactics are often overlooked and forgotten, though many girls still appreciate them. I think it's fair to say that most girls can be independent and take care of themselves. When have we ever rested all responsibility on a male? That's just asking for disappointment. But let's face it; there are certain times when we expect guys to step up to the plate.
Take making the first move, for example. It is awkward, its dreaded, but somebody has got to do it. Men, I'm talking about you. We females can only flirt and make obvious hints for so long before losing interest and moving on to someone who can take charge of the situation. Trust me, we aren't flirting with you because we have nothing better to do with our time. We are in college, after all, and have endless amounts of homework. But that shy smile and playful hair twirling, that's for you, bud. So how about you man up and start a conversation? I can guarantee your efforts will be rewarded.
THE 'FRESH'MAN PERSPECTIVE ANN WILSON
JLSON
The fact of the matter is, there are just certain things guys are expected to do. Hey, I don't like the fact that women so often become your mother and cook and clean for you, but for some reason so many of us do it.
I can't say exactly why this monumental first step is a crucial component for the male's success. I'm not sure anyone really knows, but it's what many women want, plain and simple.
I'll be the first to admit that most women, myself included, generally like to be in control. But when it comes to the opposite sex, we like to be taken care of, too, every once in a while. There's plenty of time for us to wear the pants when we're married, but for now, get your game face on, give us that winning smile and take charge!

New kind of downsizing could be key to recovery
ownsizing in business terms usually carries negative connotations:
means losing jobs, losing space,
losing revenue. Downsizing in
houses means either your child
drown moved out or you lost your
job. It can be good — that you
just don't need the space — but
it's somehow still against our
American bigger is better mentality. Downsizing in general tends to get a bad rap.
But downsizing is exactly what we need right now. Our country is huge; a massive coordination of interests, regions and ideas, but not everything about us needs to be as massive as our waistlines and our supermarkets.
A lot of movements picked up this idea long before the economic meltdown. One of the biggest actors in the downsizing movement has been the food industry.
Small farms movements, Slow Food, organic, composting and opposition groups to industrial agriculture have all propelled the ideas of reestablishing connections with the food you eat and where it comes from, downsizing from the big agribusiness to a more manageable, more personal way of getting your food.
Downsizing of the economy itself means smaller businesses. It means less impersonality, less apathy towards work, less feeling lost in the crowd. It means more unstable businesses at first, but if we can localize those businesses it can ensure stability while also providing a much-needed sense of community that can get lost in the suburban babylonirns.
We keep falling and falling in this economy, but if we can get down to the basics, wouldn't we have an easier time picking ourselves back up when the bottom gives out?

DETROIT — There was a team of destiny out there, all right. It was the North Carolina Tar Heels, and the final chapter of their story was about as heartwarming as a demolition derby.

Bad weather could be repeat for Kansas

Kansas takes its usual break in the Big 12 Conference schedule today as it heads for Iowa City, Iowa, to take on the Hawkeyes at 4 p.m.
If the Jayhawks thought the weather was bad at Hoglund Ballpark this past weekend, they might be in for a surprise today.
Kansas faced high winds, ice and rain as Baylor pummeled the team in a 21-9 loss on Sunday. Coach Ritch Price hasn't heard anything cheerful concerning the weather so far from Iowa.

COMMENTARY
BY CLARK GOBLE
cgoble@kansan.com
A freshman Jayhawk basketball player, one who is 6-foot-6 and built like a NFL tight end, takes control of a game in Allen Fieldhouse. Fade-aways, stepbacks, deep three-pointers: his arsenal of moves rivals Bobby Fisher's. After each of his scintillating scores, the only sound in the stadium is the sound of jaws dropping to the floor.
I've had the same dream for the past week.
That player in my dreams, of course, must be high school phenom Xavier Henry, who appears close to committing to Bill Self and Kansas.
Regardless of Xavier Henry Hawks need older leaders
But last night's national title game provided an alarm-clock-like reminder: having the sizzle of a stud freshman is nice, but having the championship is better. To translate into Phog-olog: having Xavier Henry would be great, but keeping Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins around would be better
I was shocked.
CBS announcer Jim Nantz probed my thinking about the situation when he brought up an interesting point while calling the Michigan State-C Connecticut game. Of the twenty starting players for the teams in the Final Four, only two were underclassmen.
I ran and grabbed my laptop because I was so skeptical. But Nantz was right. Only Michigan State freshman Delvon Roe and sophomore Kalin Lucas were underclassmen starters. Villanova North Carolina and Connecticut all started five upperclassmen.
So let's not get ahead of ourselves. Xavier Henry would be an impact player from the moment he steps on campus. He would bring swagger, flash and hype, as well as his big brother C.J. and flocks of television crews.
Carmelo Anthony carried Syracuse to the title in 2003, but no other freshman has played a big role on a championship team since.
OK, that's just one year. I told myself. In this era of Kevin Durants, Michael Beasleys and one-and-done players, there had to be someone who significantly helped a team win the title in his first year on campus.
In fact, ever since the NBA refused to accept players fresh out of high school in 2006, there have been no freshman starters on any team that won the national championship. Connecticut's Charlie Villanueva and North Carolina's Marvin Williams were both the sixth man on their championship teams.
Of the last six Most Outstanding Player award winners, none were freshmen. The last freshman to win it was 'Melo. Florida's Joakim Noah is the only sophomore to have won it recently. The rest were juniors, including Mario Chalmers and Connecticut's Emke Okator.
We need to look no further than Jayhawker Towers for the two players who give Kansas the best shot to win the national title.
But he'll still be a freshman
And that's the only dream worth having in Lawrence.

"The drops are like an allergy shot," Heitman said. "You're taking what you're allergic to so you can build up your immunity."
"It's definitely been worse this season — the pollen count has been pretty high," Fettke said.
Sarah Fetke, Wichita senior, has seasonal allergies to pollen, dust and mold that worsen in the fall and spring.
Whitney Heitman, Clearwater sophomore, discovered she had allergies six years ago but was not officially tested until last year.
"It was good to know what exactly I'm allergic to because then it can be treated correctly," Heitman said. Now Heitman takes Allegra, a
Fettke also uses Allegra and a nasal spray when her symptoms arise.
Allergies vary in presence and strength according to a person's environment. Denning said she frequently heard students say they had never had allergies until coming to Kansas.

Seasonal allergies sometimes lead to sinus infections if mucus does not drain from sinus cavities in the face, she said.
"If you live in Kansas and are allergic to ragweed, you'll have some trouble," Denning said. "But if you live in Arizona then you may not have any."
Fettke said she usually had about three sinus infections a year, and Heitman said she experienced three to five per year.
Denning said sinus infections could be treated with antibiotics and over-the-counter medicine such as Mucinex D.

WHAT ARE ALLERGENS?
"Allergens are proteins that your body reads as foreign and irritating, so it sets up a line of defense to protect itself. In your eyes, nose and throat, that's mucus to wash those proteins away. That's your body's way of trying to put a protective layer against allergens. Also, blood vessels under the skin dilate, which causes oozing and causes us to drip and allergens set off little nerves that make us itch."

Cigarette tax increase makes smoking a drag on finances

Some students trying to kick their cigarette habits have more incentive after the federal tax on cigarettes raised was raised on April 1. The tax increase ranges anywhere between 39 cents to $1.01.

HAVANA—Fidel Castro met with three members of the Congressional Black Caucus on Tuesday, marking the former Cuban president's first meeting with American officials since he fell ill nearly three years ago.
Coming after lawmakers met with his brother Raul, the current president, the session appeared to underscore the Cuban government's desire for improved relations with the United States under new President Barack Obama.
Greg Adams, a spokesman at the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, said Castro met with Rep. Barbara Lee, a California Democrat, and two other lawmakers.

JERUSALEM — Israel successfully tested an anti-missile system designed to protect the country against Iranian attack, the Defense Ministry said, perfecting technology developed in response to failures of similar systems during the 1991 Gulf War.
The intercept of a dummy missile was the 17th test of the Arrow system, a U.S.-Israeli joint venture, Israeli defense officials said the interceptor was an upgraded Arrow II, designed to counter Iran's Shahab ballistic missile.
Israel has identified Iran as its biggest threat, citing the country's nuclear program.

BAGHDAD — President Barack Obama told U.S. troops and Iraqi officials alike Tuesday it was time to phase out America's combat role in a conflict he opposed as a candidate and has vowed to end as commander in chief.
"You have given Iraq the opportunity to stand on its own as a democratic country. That is an extraordinary achievement," he told the troops.
Iraiq "need to take responsibility for their own country." Obama told hundreds of cheering soldiers.

STUDENT SENATE
Athletics fee gets left out of proposed budget cuts
BY BRIANNE
PFANNENSTIEL
bpfannenstiel@kansan.com
Student Senators have spent countless hours reviewing and revising fees during the past several weeks. As they prepare to make final recommendations regarding fee cuts to the full Senate tonight, some senators have noticed a conspicuous lack of change in one area of funding: women's and nonrevenue sports.
The fee began when the student body passed a referendum in 2006 to increase funding for women's sports. More students voted on the referendum than voted for the student body president and vice president that year.
Senators have the authority to overturn any referendum 12 months after it passes.
"The fee review committee and a good portion of student senators would really like to see that fee cut instead of other fees that provide a lot more tangible and substantial benefits to students," said Eric Foss, student senator and member of the fee review subcommittee.
Each student currently pays a $40 sports fee every sememster, $35 of which is part of a contractual obligation. The remaining $5 is not under contract and could be cut to save money.
But Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who must approve any fee recommendations made by Senate, has made it clear to senators he would not support any such decrease in funding.
Last year, Senate proposed a cut of 25 cents to the sports fee in order to provide funds for the sustainability fee. Foss said that the decision was "unilaterally overturned" by the chancellor and that no cuts were made to the sports fee.
Foss, along with other senators,
expressed the idea that if Senate
proposed a similar cut this year, the chancellor would again overturn the decision.
"I don't think hed blink twice doing it," said Brian Hardouin, chairman of the Senate fee review subcommittee. "When he removed the 25 cents before, he didn't seem to give a whole lot of pause at it and I don't know that anything's changed since last time. The chancellor has already taken the position that it's the students' responsibility to fund women's sports."
Hemenway said in an e-mail that he originally vetoed the cut to the sports fee because he was in favor of providing funding to Title IX sports.
Title IX states that "no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
The most public application of this bill has been to high school and collegiate athletics.
"The administration should be supportive of Title IX funding," Hemenway said. "Seeing 16,000 women's basketball fans on Saturday speaks for itself."
Other senators, however, said they did not think it was the student body's responsibility to support Title IX funding.
"Title IX is a requirement of the athletics department," Hardouin said. "The purpose of Title IX was to distribute some of that revenue from revenue-generating sports to other sports. I think students' paying for it is kind of deceiving."
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said it was important for everyone to take responsibility for providing funding for Title IX. He said that if the athletics department did not comply with Title IX requirements, the entire University
would lose federal funding.
Saving money has been the main objective of the fee review subcommittee since Senate received a mandate from Hemenway and the Kansas Board of Regents saying no overall increase in fees would be accepted.
Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va., junior and student senator, said the extra $5 in the sports fee was used to fund things such as office supplies and travel expenses, and that he didn't feel guilty cutting it. He said he thought Athletics would able to absorb the cost of the $5 cut without much difficulty.
"Athletics runs a pretty significant profit," Porte said. "The profit margin between revenue and expenses is more than what that fee generates. So to me it seems like they can still have a profit if that fee were cut."
Marchiony said that Athletics would have to find ways to make up the cuts, and that possibilities included raising the cost of the student combo ticket package.
Hardouin said the final fee recommendations presented to Senate tonight would not include funding cuts to the sports fee. He said that the bill could be amended to include cuts to the sports fee, but that it would need a two-thirds vote. Hardouin said he did not think a bill with a cut to Athletics would receive much support.
Foss said he thought it was important for both the student body and the chancellor to understand that the money would have to come from Athletics or from other programs.
"It's probably better if we cut it out of Athletics, but it's unlikely that will happen, because the chancellor has already shown that he's reluctant to do that," Foss said.

CRIME Jurors find owner guilty of harboring illegal aliens
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A federal jury in Kansas City, Kan., has com-
victed a Topeka restaurant owner accused of abusing illegal workers from India and forcing them to work at his business.
Acting U.S. Attorney Marietta Parker announced in a news release Tuesday that jurors found 33-year-old Amarpreet Singh guilty Monday of three counts of harboring illegal aliens.
The release said one of the workers at his Globe Restaurant died after complaining he was being forced to work.
Singh faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 on each count.

SMOKING
Sarber visits with students every week to help them quit and runs the KanUquit program at Watkins. The program started last January and has helped 32 students quit out of an initial 35 participants.
Jonathan Freeman, McLouth junior, said he was able to quit within a month and half after beginning the KanUquit program. He said he tried to quit in the past on his own but was never successful.
"It was nice to know someone else expected me to quit," Freeman said. Freeman met with Sarber once a week to discuss his gradual transition to living a smoke-free life.
Freeman said he knew he wanted to quit when he realized he spent an average of $50 a week on cigarettes.
"It's amazing how much money students spend on cigarettes, especially considering the other expenses these days," Sarber said.
One of the students Sarber is currently working with told Sarber he was spending $4 per pack every day and had smoked for the past nine years.
Sarber helped the student calculate that he spent more than $1,000 in a year, and in his nine years of smoking he had spent more than

said. "And now that's pretty much in place."
Pickens said the next installment of his plan was to have natural gas and domestic fuel reduce the consumption of foreign oil. On April 1, Pickens presented the Natural Gas Act of 2009, which emphasized the importance of using natural gas as transportation fuel.
"We're progressing right on track," Pickens said. "The plan is holding together."
Ryan Wing, San Jose, Calif., junior, said he researched the Pickens Plan but wanted to learn more from Pickens in person.
"I'm interested to see how he presents it with the current economic climate and if he has any
adaptations to it because of that," Wing said. "I know he's having trouble finding funding for the wind project given the climate, so it will be interesting to hear that."
Wing said he thought the proposal was interesting because Pickens was a successful oil business man.
"Clearly it benefits him, but I think he has an

LAQUILA, Italy — Relatives of the missing waited in agony Tuesday as rescuers dug desperately by hand for earthquake survivors, jarred by a strong afterschock that drove home the continuing danger in this historic central Italian city.
The death toll from Italy's worst earthquake in three decades jumped to 207 as bodies were recovered and identified. Tent camps housed some of the 17,000 left homeless by the earthquake, but many spent the night in the chill mountain air without blankets or covers.

missing from modern buildings, old churches had fallen walls and parts of medieval buildings had tumbled to the ground.
Rescuers located four students trapped inside a partially collapsed dormitory Tuesday afternoon. Tearful emergency workers declined to say whether they were alive or dead, telling reporters that doctors would have to announce that.
"Unless there is a miracle, I've been told (by rescuers) that they probably are dead," L'Qula University rector Ferdinando Di Orio said.
Firefighters briefed relatives of the victims on the rescue effort, explaining that civilians had to leave the scene for security reasons.
Chief firefighter Sergio Basti ordered the area evacuated so rescue crews could "surgically" remove big chunks of fallen masonry since the four were in a hard-to-reach spot and the building was so unstable.
The ANSA news agency said a 24-year-old student, Marta Valente, was pulled alive with the help of expert cave explorers, from the rubble of a four-story building in LAquila more than 22 hours after the quake.
Premier Silvio Berlusconi surveyed the devastated region by helicopter and said the rescue efforts would continue for two more days — "until it is certain that there is no one else alive." He said some 15 people were still missing.
Berlusconi said that at least 100 of the roughly 1,000 injured people were in serious condition.
Rescuers ran from the rubble of the four-story dormitory when the 4.9-magnitude aftershock hit at 11:26 a.m., the latest in a series of aftershocks.

ELECTION
Candidate ran hoping to inspire younger lawrencians
Low turnout of college-age and young professional residents a staple of city elections
BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@kansan.com
Tom Johnson, 2005 graduate and general manager for KJHK, was one of eight candidates running for city commission. Johnson ran in order to represent younger people he saw as underrepresented.
Ryan Lawler, Bolingbrook, Ill., senior and community affairs director for the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said most of the candidates for city commission had not expected a large response from the student body.
"As a whole, we're not expecting too much from students," Lawler said. "It's that time of year — finals and projects are on the forefront of students' minds."
But some KU alumni said they thought student involvement in city elections was important because their input could improve Lawrence, city commissioners decide on issues such as safe housing and the availability of jobs.
Johnson said he decided to run because of a lack of involvement from the younger generation in Lawrence politics.
"It's an extremely important set of responsibilities that it's given to our city commissioners," Johnson said. "It's literally five people who vote on the future of the town that you live in."
"I think that there are not enough young professionals taking an active role in city affairs." Johnson said. "I'd like to encourage earlier civic involvement from students, newly graduated professionals and the younger generation in general"
Johnson said that his time at the University had influenced his campaign and that the city shouldn't take the University and students for granted.
"The city should create policies that work for KU and respect its students and the benefits they bring the town," Johnson said.

NATIONAL Vermont is fourth state to approve same-sex marriage
MONTPELIER, Vt. — Vermont, which invented civil unions, on Tuesday became a pioneer again as the first state to legalize gay marriage through a legislature's vote, suggesting growing popular acceptance of the idea.
The House barely achieved the votes necessary to override Gov. Jim Douglas' veto of a bill that would allow gays and lesbians to marry beginning September 1. Four states now have same-sex marriage laws and other states soon could follow suit.
Bills to allow same-sex marriage are currently before lawmakers in New Hampshire, Maine, New York and New Jersey. The three other states that currently allow same-sex marriage — Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa — each moved to do so through the courts, not legislatures.
"For a popularly elected legislature to make this decision is a much more democratic process," because lawmakers have to answer to the voters every other November, said Eric Davis, a retired Middlebury College political science professor.
Courts typically deal with arcane points of constitutional law. While legislatures debate some of the same principles, the process may become much more personal. In Vermont, some of the most gripping debate came when gay and lesbian lawmakers took to the House floor last Thursday and told their own personal love stories.
Getting gay marriage approved in a political, rather than purely legal, forum is a big step, said Boston University law professor Linda McLain, an expert on family law and policy.
"What may give courage to other legislatures is that this legislature managed to do it," she said.
She added that using the civil rights language of equality — the measure in Vermont was dubbed the marriage equality bill — could help make gay marriage more acceptable elsewhere.
Associated Press
recognized across town, Johnson ran as a one-man band, relying on word of mouth and online activity to promote his campaign. Johnson pledged to spend less than $500 on his campaign because he thought candidates raising thousands of dollars to promote themselves was selfish during an economic crunch.
Jacob Beaumont, May 2008 graduate, helped with candidate Aron Cromwell's campaign and said that in order for young people to have their voices heard, they needed to be involved in city politics and elections.
"Citizens are closest to their government at the city level," Beaumont said. "It is hard for us, as individuals, to influence a decision that the president makes, but reaching out to your city commissioners is incredibly easy."
Johnson said the outcome of the election wasn't as important as representing those who needed a voice in the city. Johnson finished last among the candidates.
"Whether I win or lose," Johnson said. "I've had a great opportunity to be a voice for under-represented individuals in our community and I think I made the most of it."

LOS ANGELES - An attorney for Anna Nicole Smiths lawyer-turned-boyfriend lashed out at prosecutors on Tuesday, calling the prescription drug case involving his client and two doctors misguided and overreaching.
Steve Sadow, a lawyer from Atlanta, said outside court that the charges against Howard K. Stern were baseless and added that his client wouldn't have done anything to hurt Smith, who died of a drug overdose two years ago.
Lawyer, doctors charged in Anna Nicole case
"Howard loved Anna Nicole with all of his heart and would never have done anything intentional
ASSOCIATED PRESS
to harm her" Sadow said without
talking questions from reporters.
Sadow suggested the attorney general filed the case merely to advance his political career. Brown, a Democrat who served two terms as governor beginning in 1974, is considering another run for governor next year.
Stern and Drs. Khristine Eroshevich and Sandee Kapoor face charges they conspired to provide prescription drugs to the former Playboy model before her accident overdose death in February 2007 at a Florida hotel. Each defendant faces up to five years, eight months in prison if convicted.
Stern, 40, and Eroshevich, 61,
made their first court appearance
Tuesday, but Superior Court
commissioner Kristi Lousteau rescheduled
their arraignments to May 13.
Kapoor is also scheduled to be arraigned May 13. All three are free on bond.
"Brown should simply be ashamed of himself" he said.
Sadow criticized the two-year probe by the state attorney general, state medical and insurance officials and the Drug Enforcement Administration. He said California Attorney General Jerry Brown has "maliciously and viciously labeled Anna a drug addict knowing full well that it's legally unsupportable" under California law.
Brown held a press conference last month to announce the charges, which were actually filed by county prosecutors.
"These people are whistling in the dark if they think this accusatory rhetoric is going to save them," he said.
Brown called the accusations "silly" and "completely out of line."
"Anna Nicole was dead from multiple chemicals put into her body. That's the tragedy and for the defense lawyers to try to exploit that for their own purposes is shocking," Brown said.
"Brown, not Howard K. Stern, is the real enabler in this misguided and unprecedented prosecution."
Prosecutors alleged Stern was the principal enabler in a conspiracy with the two doctors to provide Smith, 39, thousands of prescription pills between June 2004 and January 2007, just weeks before her death.
Medical examiners have said Eroshevich, a Los Angeles psychiatrist and friend of Smith, authorized all 11 of the prescription medications found in her hotel room.
Eroshevich's attorney, Adam Braun, has said Eroshevich began treating Smith in September 2006 when she suffered a nervous breakdown stemming from the death of her 20-year-old son, Daniel Smith, who died of an accidental drug
Outside court, Braun said he hopes that all the facts of the investigation will be made public to show that Eroshevich's treatment of Smith were "all done with the best interest of the patient in mind."
"Dr. Kristine Eroshevich had two choices." Braun said. "To turn her back on her patient or do her best under some difficult circumstances. She chose the latter."
overdose three days after his mother gave birth to a girl.
Sadow added Smith was in control of her life and made her own decisions.

"No one told her what to do or when to do it. She was her own person," Sadow said.

The release continues a recent trend of repackaging and tweaking The Beatles' output, which fans may have thought ended in 1970 with "Let It Be."

In addition, Apple Corps and EMI will be releasing a boxed set named "The Beatles in Mono," with the original monaural versions of 10 albums plus two further discs of mono masters of early material.

According to the KU Environmental Stewardship Program's Web site, glass from Lawrence is sent to Okmulgee, Okla., where it can be turned into tile, insulation or glass bottles, among other products.

To reduce the amount of waste at house parties, Stanley suggested that students take their own mugs to keggers instead of using disposable cups. He also suggested drinking tap beer in reusable glassware rather than in cans. Students should endorse this movement to green-up local drinking establishments by supporting the bars that are taking steps to recycle the mass quantity of glass bottles and aluminum cans used by thirsty party-goers every weekend.

MADRID
Despite nearly three months of living in Santiago de Compo
Santiago de compostel.
I know of only two gas stations in
the entire city. Yet in Lawrence, it
is not unusual to see more than two
gas stations within a one-block
radius.
This contrast demonstrates Spain's lack of dependence on cars. Spaniards rely instead on the country's excellent system of public transportation. Once one calculates the price of gasoline here in Spain, it's easy to see why.
PHOTO COURTESY OF HELEN MUBARAK
Santiago de Compostela is a college town similar to Lawrence, but the two cities differ greatly when it comes to the citywide bus system. Santiago's system surpasses the struggling T-system in terms of both cost and convenience. Residents of Santiago can purchase a bus card with a certain number of trips for the equivalent of approximately 60 cents per ride.
The buses run throughout the city. My bus, No.15, picks me up from a bus station just around the block and drops me off 10 minutes later in front of the building of my morning classes, saving me a 35-minute walk.
In addition to the citywide buses, there are buses that run to
and from the airport, as well as to other cities within the region of Galicia. Like many students at the University of Kansas, the majority of Spanish students at the University of Santiago de Compostela are from the region. These students often return home on weekends by bus or train. I often used The Joj's K-10 connector to get to Overland Park, but it doesn't run on weekends and the stops aren't very close to my house. Students living in Kansas but outside of Johnson County don't even have the choice of returning home by bus.
As for national travel, the United States has nothing to compare with Spain's extensive
system of trains and buses. My Spanish roommates could not believe Americans don't normally use trains or buses to travel to other states.
I once tried to take the Megabus from Kansas City, Mo., to St. Louis. The company was very unorganized — the complete opposite of the well ordered Spanish system — and, unless one purchases a ticket months in advance, costly, too. Public transport in the U.S. lacks inexpensive and convenience of the Spanish system.

German punctuality bests American mass-transit attempts
My next step after arriving in Frankfurt Airport on March 2 was to catch a train to Bonn. Germans have a reputation of being extremely punctual, especially when it comes to trains. Finally it was my chance to test this familiar stereotype.
Sure enough, at precisely 13:50 — Germans officially use military time — my train had arrived. One hour and 44 minutes later, I arrived punctually in Bonn.
While the train made its way across the German countride, I remembered my lone Amtrak experience back in the States, when what I expected to be a
Sure enough, at precisely 13:58
The Kansas City Metropolitan Area has an estimated population exceeding two million more than six times the size of Bonn. Yet Bonn's array of public transportation — light rails, subways and buses included — dwarfs that of Kansas City's meager metro bus system.
When it comes to public transportation, much can be learned from the Germans.
relaxing eight-hour ride from Chicago to Kansas City turned into nearly 12 hours of sudden stops and long delays.
And that's only inner-city transportation. Regional commuter trains and even international high-speed trains make regular stops at Bonn's central station in typical
German fashion.
And as for Kansas City? It boasts the most freeway mile miles per capita of any major metropolitan area in the US, according to a 1999 report.
Those of us in the States can only hope the $8 million set aside for inter-city rail projects and high-speed trains, courtesy of the economic recovery package, will provide a much-needed boost to our public transportation.
Yet with $27.5 billion reserved for highway and bridge construction projects, it is obvious where the United States' priorities remain.

Serve America Act rewards goodwill
What comes up when you think of spring break? Loud parties? Tequila shots? Landscaping? If you answered with the last one, you probably had a spring break experience similar to mine, which is to say you went on an alternative break. Alternative breaks send people out for a week or so to spend time helping a community. I took mine through Hillel and found myself joining several other students from the University, Maryland and Tufts (it's in Boston) traveling to Tampa, Fla., to perform various acts of service.
Programs like this are great, and I encourage everyone to experience one at some point in their college career. But they put people to work for only a few days out of the year, and generally the only benefits to people participating are good times and a warm fuzzy feeling. Wonderful as those things are, the life of a college student is busy, and though many people have the drive to perform frequent acts of social service, not all can afford it.
So welcome, my friends, to HR 1388, also known as the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. The bill was originally referred to as the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education, or GIVE Act, and was introduced by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY). The bill was passed in March and expands opportunities for college students to perform acts of social service.
Among its many provisions, the bill adds several new programs to AmeriCorps, provides additional funding to colleges with strong social service programs and makes certain service-based awards equal to Pell grants. Basically, it makes life a little easier for people who are

In private conversation, I've heard some strange criticisms of the act. Some people have even told me they liken it to indentured servitude. But the Serve America Act gives people who are willing to do so the opportunity to perform beneficial acts and then receive compensation for it. Now, I usually refer to a set up like this as "employment," but apparently not everyone sees it the same way.
231
There will always be a need for service work. Disadvantaged people will need help, dilapidated houses will need rebuilding, communities will need brightening up, etc. Hopefully there will always be college students willing to do this work. In Lawrence there will be projects like Jubilee Café, Up 'Til Dawn, and Dance Marathon, as well as the occasional alternative break program. By providing greater incentives for students to give back to their communities, the Serve America Act allows the spirit of those students not only to carry on, but also to thrive.
In his Address to Congress, President Obama spoke highly of the GIVE Act, which was then still under debate, saying that it would "encourage a renewed spirit of national service for this and future generations."

On liberal democrats and double standards
How is the hypocrisy of politicians so welcome in this country after an election run by Barack Obama promising to rid government of petty politics and corruption?
Democrats, from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to Nancy Killefer and Tom Daschle, have one thing in common—a failure to adhere to what they preach. They claim that taxing the rich benefits the lower class, but the twisted fact is that while they call for taxes on the rich, they do not pay their own.
These politicians claim to have ousted the Republican Party to rid Washington of secrecy and corruption, but these past months have shown that the situation is the complete opposite.
With their unpaid taxes, these Cabinet nominees are in no position to speak about fixing Washington while they simply "forget" to pay their own share. All talk and no action seems to be the new attitude of the Democrats.
Had this occurred during former President George W. Bush's term, the Democrats would have called for indictments and immediately responded with trials for not paying those taxes. This is simply a double standard perpetrated by the liberal Democrats in Congress, who can apparently get away with any act they choose to commit.
This is not a blind accusation. That so many of Obama's nominees have "forgotten" to even pay their taxes makes it obvious that these politicians are simply deceiving people who will blindly follow them.

Kansas' locker room at Lucas Oil Stadium after losing to Michigan State two weeks ago definitely fit that description. For 30 minutes after the loss, junior guard Sherron Collins struggled to find the right way to wrap up Kansas'

2009 season.
In the end, five of Collins' words turned out to be the most telling.
"It was a fun ride," Collins said.
Fun, according to Collins, because the layawks were able to get to the second weekend of the
NCAA tournament. They became the 26th team in school history to reach the Sweet Sixteen.
But Collins' best memory from this season will be Kansas' winning its fifth consecutive Big 12 Conferencechampionship. Despite being picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 at the beginning of the season, Kansas won its 52nd conference championship.
"To come to the Sweet Sixteen and win the league with the team we had," Collins said, "no one expected it."
Not a bad haul for what some called a rebuilding year after Kansas lost seven of its top eight players and all five starters from 2008's national championship team.
awards to commemorate this season. The Associated Press named Collins, who averaged 19 points and five assists per game, a third-team All-American. Sophomore center Cole Aldrich, who averaged 15 points and 11 rebounds, received honorable mention. It also awarded Kansas coach Bill Self with Coach of the Year recognition.
Kansas gathered plenty of
"I don't have any regrets at all about this team's season," Self said.
Neither do the rest of the Jayhawks. Aldrich, freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor and freshman forward Marcus Morris all gave the same response to what they would remember best about this season: how far they came.
All three of them mentioned the beginning of the year, when Kansas went on a Labor Day weekend trip to Ottawa, Canada.

K-State match crucial to Big 12 finish
BY JUSTIN HILLEY ihillev@kansan.com
The Jayhawks will be facing their rival, the Kansas State Wildcats, today at 3 p.m. in the Sunflower Showdown.
Ryan McGonanov/KANCAN
Kansas State is on a nine-match losing streak and has a conference record of 0-7, and today is almost a must-win if the lajayhaws plan to achieve coach Amy Hall-Holt's goal of finishing in the top half of the conference. Last year this was accomplished with a conference record of 5-6; the squad is now 3-5 with three Big 12 matches remaining. The other two are against No. 31 Texas and No. 33 Texas A&M.
"Defeating Kansas State will be a great Big 12 win for us," Hall-Holt said. "It is something that the girls take great pride in. Hopefully, they'll take a lot of pride in the match against K-State."
The lajayhs should be fully aware of the fickleness of tennis.
They have lost to teams that statistically they should have defeated, but have also been on the edge of defeating some of the best teams in the nation.
"K-State is a tough team," Hall-
Holt said. "They've been struggling a little bit, but they always bring their A-game when they come out to play us. We definitely

Hawks need victory before tough stretch
For the Jayhawks (12-24 overall, 2-4 Big 12) time is running out to make a push for the NCAA tournament. The two games against Nebraska mark the seventh and eighth games of conference play for Kansas, which is at nearly the halfway point in its Big 12 regular season.
Today's doubleheader against Nebraska is pivotal for the jayhawk softball team and could be the turning point for the 2009 season.
And the toughest challenges might lie ahead, as the Jayhawks have yet to face No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 20 Texas and a surging 26-14 Baylor team. But the Jayhawks need to take it one game at a time.

Home run shortage is hurting the Jayhawks
BY ALEX BEECHER
abeecher@kansan.com
Chicks dig the long ball. Having a grand total of zero home runs in my little league career, I certainly don't know from personal experience.
But despite a lack of first-hand knowledge, I know this to be true. Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and Greg Maddux told me so in a late '90s Nike ad. And the first thing they teach you in journalism school is that you can always trust everything you're told in commercials.
But, true as the ad may be, it could have taken things even further. Other demography love home runs as well. Like, oh, I don't know, Kansas baseball coaches named Ritch Prize. Like the aforementioned trio of then-Braves pitchers, Price would probably like to see a few more balls leave the yard. Not so he can get a date (at least I don't think so), but so his Jayhawks can register a few more victories.
Not that there isn't value in playing small ball. And of course, every old-timer will swear by the truism that pitching and defense win championships. That's all well and good, but that tried-and-(maybe not so)-true phrase omits one fact: No matter how well your pitchers perform, you still have to put runs on the board. Kansas, currently sitting at 20-12 (4-5 in Big 12 play), illustrates that point quite well.
Of course, all the numbers in the world don't count for jack if they don't factor into wins and losses. Thankfully, there's a pretty direct correlation to be found between Kansas hitting home runs and Kansas winning. When Kansas fails to leave the yard, it's 10-8. Admittedly, that's pretty good. Credit the layahawk pitching staff and bulpen on that one. But when Kansas does manage one homer or more, its record improves to 9-4.
And yes, there are other ways to score runs. If Kansas was excelling in those, there wouldn't be cause for concern. But that isn't happening. The Jayhawks have scored five runs or less in 11 of their 30 games. In college baseball, where the bats go ping, not crack, that kind of production doesn't cut it.
Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for Kansas in Big 12 play. With nine games and 298 at bats in the books, conference play has yielded only two Jayhawk home runs and four wins.
The offense... not so much. Kansas' 17 home runs (eight of which have been provided by sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson) sit firm in the bottom half of the NCAA rankings and fall well behind what the elite teams produce. Oklahoma, the top-ranked team in the Big 12 right now, has 57.
Which is why — all due respect to Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux — no one digs the long ball more than managers whose teams hit them. Price would probably like to dig them a lot more often.
As of Sunday, Kansas had the 28th-best ERA in all of college baseball at 3.96. Although a recent pummeling by Baylor helped bump that number up, Kansas' hurlers have generally performed well.

Big crowds for women may stick around
COMMENTARY
People not only recognized the 5-foot-11 McCray, which in itself represents a change from the norm, but they also wished Kansas' top scorer well in the next day's game against South Florida.
Walking in downtown Lawrence the night before Kansas' WNIT championship game last Saturday, junior forward Danielle McCray experienced a rare, although growing, phenomenon around Lawrence.
Sports
"That was pretty cool," McCray said. "It's not just the guys getting all the love."
For much of this season — and for much of recent history — the excitement, talk and crowds for women's basketball paled when measured against nights when Bill Self paced the sideline.
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
Although the women's program may never be on the
same popularity level, the WNIT semifinal and championship games hinted that women's basketball is on the rise at Kansas.
A record 16,113 people flocked to Allen Fieldhouse for the WNIT title game, filling concourses and concession stands more than an hour before the game tipped off.
"They were so upset in the locker room because it means so much and hurts so much," Hendrickson said. "But we said 'guys, look what you've done.'"
When players exited a nearby parking garage headed for Allen Fieldhouse, fans offered encouragement. When Henrickson pulled up for Saturday's game, people had all ready begun tailgating.
It was the most people to ever see a game in a Big 12 arena. And it happened for a team that ranked eighth in attendance in the conference this season.
"Just by this game, even though we didn't win, it will help bring fans in for next year," McCray said. "They know how hard we work and how we came from the bottom."
But the near-sellout wasn't something Kansas expected after drawing paltry crowds in its first two WNIT home games.
Before Kansas's seminal game against Illinois State Henrickson
At the time, that answer appeared realistic, although considering Kansas combined for just 3,857 fans in its first two WNIT games, it may have been ambitious.
stood in a large room with reporters surrounding her and one question kept coming back up. That one question, asked in a variety of ways, that no one seemed fully sure of the proper — or accurate — answer: Could women's basketball draw a healthy-sized crowd?
But the Jayhawks drew 8,360 people in the semifinal and doubled that number in the championship.
"I'd be shocked if we don't have five or six thousand people," Henrickson said before the game. "I really would be."
those two totals merely a fad, a trend people latched onto for the time being, or do they represent the foundation of consistent fan support?
Therein lies the question: Were

"The next time we roll it out, we're going to be at Late Night in front of 16,000 people again," Henrickson said. "That's awful exciting, and I think we build from here."

Sabathia, Yankees upset with opening day effort
BALTIMORE — CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees know all about getting off to a slow start.
That didn't make their poor showing on opening day easier to digest.
Sabathia gave up six runs in his Yankees debut, and New York fell to the Baltimore Orioles 10-5 on Monday.
Signed to a $161 million.
seven-year contract during the offseason, Sabathia (0-1) allowed eight hits in 4 1-3 innings, walked five, threw two wild pitches and did not record a strikeout for the first time since July 25, 2005, at Oakland.
"I was terrible. I battled from the first inning on," Sabathia said. "At some point I'm usually able to find it. Today was just one of those days where I didn't. When I have one of those days, this is the result you get."

Judge rules Vick should remain in jail for hearing
NFL
RICHMOND, Va. — Michael Vick will head back to a Kansas prison after a judge rejected an effort Tuesday to keep the suspended NFL star in Virginia to work on a new bankruptcy plan.
U. S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro denied a motion Tuesday to require Vick to attend an April 28 status hearing on his case in Newport News.Vick's lawyers had hoped such an order would prompt U.S. marshals
and we'll have to deal with the case long distance," said Paul Campsen, one of Vick's bankruptcy attorneys.
Vick remained in the Suffolk jail late Tuesday, and it was unclear when he would be returning to the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, where he is serving a 23-month sentence for bankrolling a dogfighting ring. Vick is scheduled for transfer to home confinement in Hampton, Va., on May 21 and for release from federal custody July 20.
to leave him at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail in southeastern Virginia until then.
Santoro had ordered Vick to testify in person at a hearing last week, but the judge ruled Tuesday that he did not need Vick at the next hearing because no evidence will be presented. Vick and his lawyers are developing a new plan for the 28-year-old former Atlanta Falcons quarterback to pay back his creditors after Santoro rejected Vick's Chapter 11 reorganization quarter on Friday
"It it just means he's going to end up back in Leavenworth,

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MEN'S BASKETBALL SEASON IN REVIEW
The Kansan's 2008-2009 report card
BY TAYLORBERN
A
A. BALOGUE
Sherron Collins, junior guard
A
Kansas leader on the court and in the locker room, Collins had more to do with this season's surprising success than any other player. He shrugged off preseason doubts and averaged 18.9 points and five assists per game. In addition to his late-game heroics (think Oklahoma) Collins played a big role in the maturation of the newcomers, especially freshman Tyshawn Taylor.
B+
Cole Aldrich, sophomore center
Aldrich was tapped as a veteran on this team after just one season in which he played mostly mop-up minutes. He delivered on the preseason hype with 14.9 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. Aldrich capped his tremendous sophomore campaign with a historic triple-double against North Dakota State. The scary thing for Big 12 teams is that Aldrich has barely tapped into his offensive arsenal.
TAMARA CHEW
Tyshawn Taylor, freshman guard
B
Taylor looked like he was going to be that consistent third scoring option everyone was searching for. That was the case every now and then, like during his 26-point performance against Oklahoma. But Taylor often disappeared late in the season, especially in the NCAA tournament. Still, he was the Big 12 Rookie of the Week four times, and spending more time under Collins' wing would only make him better.
JAMES WATSON
Marcus Morris, freshman forward
Morris was shuffled in and out of the starting lineup for the first two months. Coach Bill Self moved him in permanently against Texas A&M and he responded with 10 points, including two three-pointers. Morris, a freshman, wasn't perfect — he didn't score against Dayton — but he was solid down the stretch, including a career-high 15 points at Kansas State.
B
M. JAVIER MAYORAL
Brady Morningstar, sophomore guard
B-
Self has called this super-sophomore the "anchor" of his team. Like an anchor, Morningstar's game isn't pretty — he hit 12 of 43 shots in the final eight games — but his defense was crucial to keep Kansas close in many of its games. He's not an outstanding talent, but Morningstar gives maximum effort and he has carved a place for himself in Self's system.
Mike Hodgson
Tyrel Reed, sophomore guard
Reed was a one-trick pony this season. However, any coach in the country would love to have a guy on the bench who could come in and hit a three-pointer late in the game. Reed's defense is mediocre, at best, but he clinched a handful of games with clutch shots. Although this season was a success, Reed will probably get lost in the shuffle next year.
C+
Mario Little, junior guard
Without the injuries, perhaps Little would have lived up to his preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year award. Alas, we'll never know, as a pair of injuries (ankle, wrist) kept him out until January. By then the lineup was mostly set and Little was forced to play out of position most of the time. If he stays healthy throughout the offseason, Little has a chance to be Kansas' most-improved player next season.
C+
Markieff Morris, freshman forward
POLICE DEPT.
C
Who's the better Morris twin? Marcus answered that question with a tremendous second half of the season. Markieff scored in double-digits just once all year and scored a total of six points in three NCAA tourney games. The focus for him in the offseason has to be defensive control. Markieff led the team with 98 fouls and five foul-outs. He can't contribute when he can't stay on the floor.
MARK MAYER
Travis Releford, freshman guard
Speaking of count time, Releford was expecting to see more of it when he committed to Kansas last year. Releford, a Kansas City, Mo., native, scored nine points at Missouri but failed to crack the main rotation and averaged just seven minutes per game. Depending on who rounds out Self's recruiting class, Releford may see the court even less next season. Taking a red shirt, like Morningstar did after his freshman season, may be best for Releford in the long run.
BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
for three exhibition games. They all look back and laugh about it now. The layhaws weren't so good back then. It took some late-game
heroics from freshman guard Travis Releford and sophomore guard Tyrel Reed to beat one of the Canadian teams, Carleton, by
one point.
Although it should be noted that Collins and the Morris twins didn't play in Canada, Aldrich

BAR REVIEW
"These guys are phenomenal." Aldrich said of his teammates. "We came and practiced and every day worked hard and battled until the end."
was still amazed that the same team lost by five points to the eventual national runner-up six months later.
Collins has an idea. Collins said that if he and Aldrich came back for another year instead of entering the NBA Draft, Kansas could get back to Indianapolis.
Sure, it got bumpy along the
"I don't think it's a disappointment," Collins said. "I think it's a success."
"Being so young this year and doing what we did this year," Morris said. "who knows what we can do next year?"
Next year, Lucas Oil Stadium doesn't have the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight. It's the host of the Final Four.

It's always easier to look ahead. But Collins said there were plenty of reasons to remember Kansas' 2009 season.

Missouri blowout, upset by Texas Tech helped make season memorable
TOP FIVE MOMENTS
- March 1: Kansas 90, Missouri 65 at Allen Fieldhouse. The best Kansas played all season, the Jayhawks avenged their first Big 12 defeat with a thrashing of their rival.

2. March 7: Kansas 83, Texas 73 at Allen Fieldhouse. In the last game of the regular season the Jayhawks clinched their 52nd conference title and ensured that the nation's longest home court winning streak — 41 games — would extend into next season.

3. March 22: Kansas 60, Dayton 43 in Minneapolis. A triple-double from Cole Aldrich and a dominating performance from Sherron Collins sent the Jayhawks to Indianapolis for their third straight Sweet Sixteen.

4. Feb. 23: Kansas 87, Oklahoma 78 in Norman, Okla. Kansas took sole possession of first place in the Big 12 in this victory against the Sooners. Tyshawn Taylor and Sherron Collins scored 26 points and Cole Aldrich had 20 rebounds.

LOW FIVE MOMENTS
March 20: Kansas 84, North Dakota State 74 in Minneapolis. Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich combined for 55 points to escape the upset attempt from the Bison, who had nothing short of a home court advantage with thousands of fans, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Dec. 23: Arizona 84, Kansas 67 in Tucson, Ariz. This is a tough decision, but it was probably the worst point of the season because of how physically dominated the Jayhawks were. After this defeat the Jayhawks were 8-3 and possibly in position to miss the NCAA tournament.
Dec. 13: Massachusetts 61, Kansas 60 at the Sprint Center. Sherron Collins was extremely sick and Kansas coach Bill Self told his team everyone needed to play their best to relieve him. It didn't happen. Collins played 38 minutes and couldn't save the Jayhawks from their biggest upset of the season.
C
March 12: Baylor 71, Kansas 64 in Oklahoma City. Kansas had won three straight Big 12 tournament championships. This year it couldn't even win its first game.
4 Feb. 9: Missouri 62, Kansas 60 in Columbia, Mo. Any loss to Missouri is miserable for Kansas. But especially one where the Jayhawks play their worst of the season and commit 27 turnovers
March 4: Texas Tech 84, Kansas 65 in Lubbock, Texas. This one was embarrassing. The 11thplace team in the Big 12 controlled Kansas and might have ultimately cost it the opportunity to play its first two NCAA Tournament games in Kansas City.

energy and passion into the game at hand."
Coming off a series split with Texas Tech, Kansas is set to square off against a solid Nebraska squad. Despite having lost its last four contests, most recently against Oklahoma, Nebraska is 25-10 overall and 2-4 in conference play. Nebraska heads into the doubleheader with a .294 team batting average, led by sophomore second baseman Julie Breschtel's .380 average.
From the circle, Nebraska's staff boasts an impressive 1.88 ERA and has allowed only 62 earned runs on the season. The Cornhusker defense has been
equally effective. Its 28 errors are good for second-least in the Big 12. Nebraska's most notable win came on March 22 when it upset then-No. 19 Texas A&M 3-2 in extra innings.
"I have a lot of respect for Nebraska," Bunge said. "They are disciplined, well-coached, and they play the game the right way. They play very aggressively and they don't beat themselves."
Nebraska is largely the same team as last year, returning 15 letter-winners from the previous year. Kansas went 1-2 against Nebraska last year despite outscoring the Huskers 13-12 overall in the series. The Kansas pitching
staff currently has an ERA of 3.07 and will have to see solid outings from both Val George and Sarah Vertelka in order to come away with the two victories. Liz Kocen leads the Jayhawk bats with a .321 average and a team-high 21 RBIs. She has hit three home runs in the past four games.
The doubleheader kicks off at 4 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark. Admission is free with a KUID.
"We're looking for revenge this year," Kocon said. "They're not going to push us around on our home turf. We're looking for the sweep."

Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin, left, is consoled by assistant coach Oronde Tailferro, and guard Austin Johnson, right, as Griffin leaves the Elite Eight game against North Carolina late in the second half. Griffin plans to leave Oklahoma for the NBA.
Blake Griffin's coach called it a no-brainer for the Oklahoma forward to leave for the NBA.
Griffin will give up his final two seasons of eligibility after the he was honored by The Associated Press and several other groups as college basketball's player of the year.
"It wasn't a decision to really debate because it's the right one, and it's the best thing for Blake," Sooners coach Jeff Capel said, sitting alongside Griffin at a campus news conference.

Griffin led the nation with 30 double-doubles and 14.4 rebounds per game while averaging a Big 12-best 22.7 points. In the NCAA tournament, he was even better
"It's tough to walk away from something like this but at the same
time, it's a big opportunity and I felt like I was ready for it this year," Griffin said.
Budinger said he was hiring an agent, which would end his eligibility.
He averaged 18 points and 6.2 rebounds and scored 19 points per game in the Wildcats' three NCAA tournament games.
Arizona point guard Nic Wise said he would make himself available for the draft but wouldn't hire an agent.
Meeks averaged 23.7 points
last season — eighth in the country and tops in the Southeastern Conference — and poured in a school-record 54 points in a win over Tennessee in January.
He also led the SEC in 3-point percentage (40.6), 3-pointers per game (3.25) and free-throw percentage (90.2).
Meeks sounded optimistic about coming back last week after the Wildcats hired John Calipari.

University of Vermont players cheer during practice Sunday. Nearly destroyed by a hazing scandal almost a decade ago, Vermont's beloved hockey team has been rebuilt. On the ice, the Catamounts are all the way back, and playing in the Frozen Four.
COLLEGE HOCKEY
University rebuilds program
VERMONT VERMONT VERMONT VERMONT VERMONT
On Oct. 2, 1999, Vermont's hockey players held a party. The theme was freshman humiliation in the name of team bonding.
On the ice, the Catamounts are all the way back. Frozen Four participants for the second time, they will play Boston University in the NCAA semifinals here Thursday night.
Team to play in Frozen Four almost a decade after freshman hazing incident
The agenda included sexually degrading acts, including forcing the new players to parade around in a line, naked.
Nearly destroyed a decade ago, Vermont's beloved college hockey team was rebuilt — thanks in part to a university that regrouped and set an example for how to deal with hazing, an issue that continues to be a problem at colleges around the country.
"It's great to see them developing, their program, doing such a good job after a setback like that," said Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas, a member of Gilligan's 1996 team along with fellow NHL players Martin St. Louis of Tampa Bay and Eric Perrin of Atlanta.
"It's been a few years," Gilligan said, "but it's certainly worth the wait."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gilligan himself is still employed by the Burlington, Vt., school with about 10,000 undergraduates, no longer as coach of the men's hockey team but as an assistant to the athletic director. Now on medical leave as he fights throat cancer, he hopes to make the trip to the nation's capital to sit in the Verizon Center and see the Catamounts try to win their first NCAA hockey championship.
WASHINGTON — Mike Gilligan was there when Vermont hockey mattered for all the right reasons, coaching the Catamounts to the 1996 Frozen Four, the sticks-and-pucks version of basketball's Final Four.
He was there, too, when Vermont hockey mattered for all the wrong reasons $ - 3 \frac{1}{2} $ years later as a hazing scandal, a lawsuit, a cover-up and the canceling of half a season devastated the program.
"A sad part of Vermont hockey history," Gilligan said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "But it was something that I think everybody in the country learned from."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The first-year players were pressured to drink warm beer until vomiting, then had to eat until they vomited some more.
About two months later, La Tulipie sued the school, its president and athletic director, Gilligan and several teammates, blowing the whistle on the most popular team in a state without professional sports.
These days, he has no interest in what happens on the ice, no desire whatsoever to know how Vermont fares this week.
LaTulippe was a local, from Williston, Vt., excited to be playing in a place where college hockey mattered, where the wait was an estimated 20 years to get a season ticket.
A report by the Vermont attorney general would later find that those sorts of initiation rituals — with older players belittling underclassmen — had been going on for years.
"I just don't really care anymore," Tailupte told the AP when contacted at the Florida golf course he runs. "I don't really follow college hockey, don't really care about it. It's not important in my life now."
"I glad that I did it," La Tulpe said, "but it was really tough."
About two weeks before the party, freshman goalie Corey LaTulippe tried to warn the school what was about to happen.
The party took place anyway.
La Tulippe eventually dropped his lawsuit and was paid $80,000 by the university. He reached other out-of-court settlements with ex-teammates.
Some people see him as a hero. To others, he will always be the troublemaker.
"That's exactly the way I was made to feel," he said.

Page 2 of the NCAA handbook "Building New Traditions: Hazing Prevention in College Athletics" defines hazing this way: "Any act committed against someone joining or becoming a member or maintaining membership in any organization that is humiliating, intimidating or demeaning, or endangers the health and safety of the person."
Vermont is hardly the only school where hazing has taken place, of course.
"It it was something that was going on," said Graham Mink, one of the players on Vermont's 1999-00 team originally sued by LaLiptpe. "Obviously, it wasn't the right thing, but it could have happened at a number of other universities or other teams."
Not only could have, but most certainly did. A study released last year by two University of Maine professors — and supported by the NCAA — found that 74 percent of respondents who were students on varsity athletic teams experienced some form of hazing.
"It's not necessary. It's something that can hurt people and cause a lot of problems, obviously. I've seen that firsthand," said Mink, who appeared in two games with the NHL's Washington Capitals this season and is now with their top minor league affiliate. "It was something that was done. It was a once-every-year thing, and it was over with, and that was it. It was part of being on the team at the time. Certainly, I'd be shocked if that still happened at most universities now."
ENVISION
Siler-Porte
Maybe not at Vermont, but a simple Internet search will find unsavory examples from around the country.
"There's a denial of the reality, and part of that is a code of silence: "What goes on in the locker room stays in the locker room," said Susan Lipkins, a New York psychologist and author of a book on hazing.
When she speaks to high school or college students, Lipkins sometimes will point to Vermont as a warning.

White Sox defeat Royals in opener
BY ANDREW SELIGMAN
Associated Press
CHICAGO — lim Thome got to totally enjoy his opening-day home run.
Thome hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning, rallying the Chicago White Sox past the Kansas City Royals 4-2 Tuesday in a season opener delayed a day because of bad weather.
Chicago trailed 2-1 when Thome hit his 542nd career home run, connecting with two outs off Royals newcomer Kyle Farnsworth.
Thome's shot gave Chicago the victory on a day when Mark Buehrle struggled, and it erased a solid outing by Kansas City's Gil Meche.
Muche pitched seven strong innings, Alex Gordon homered and the Royals were in line for the victory until Farnsworth (0-1) came on in the eighth.
Josh Fields led off with a bunt single and moved to third with one out on Chris Getz's single. After Carlos Quentin struck out, Thome homered to center field and a crowd that had been listless went wild, drawing a curtain call from the slugger.
Winning pitcher Octavio Dotel (1-0) struck out the side in the eighth after Clayton Richard threw two scoreless innings. Bobby Jenks pitched a scoreless ninth for the save.
Gordon gave Kansas City a 1-0 lead when he connected off Buehrle in the second. Chicago tied it in the bottom half on Fields' RBI single, and the Royals went ahead in the fifth when Jose Guillen scored on Gordon's forceout.
That looked like it might be enough for Meche, who won 14 games last season. The right-hander allowed one run and seven hits, struck out six and did not walk a batter, but Farnsworth couldn't protect the lead.
It was a rather forgettable afternoon for Buehrle, who tied Billy Pierce's club record by starting his seventh opener. That bit of trivia aside, the three-time All-Star struggled with his control and consistently found himself in jams.

Fields, replacing the departed Joe Crede at third, also saved a run in the fifth when he stabbed Billy Butler's grounder behind the bag and threw home to force Mark Teaken with the bases loaded.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Patrons watch as Tiger Woods practices on the putting green in preparation for the Masters golf tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., Tuesday. Woods and Phil Mickelson will be competing for No. 1 in the Masters.
It's a familiar story for Tiger Woods each year at the Masters.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — He was on the practice range at first light, only his coach and caddie at his side. Then it was off to the putting green, where he kept pressing an Augusta National official for permission to start his practice round before the course was open.
But on that frigid Tuesday morning, the routine belonged to Phil Mickelson.
"Tiger and Phil are out there playing," one of the club members said before adding with a smile, "Not together, obviously."
They have kept different schedules this week — Mickelson playing early, Woods the late arrival with his most limited practice in his Masters career. They were one group apart Sunday afternoon when both arrived at Augusta and played the front nine.
They are not particularly close,
except in the world ranking.
but no one is surprised."
Mickelson already has won twice this year, repeating at Riviera and winning at Doral for his first World Golf Championship.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The top two players in golf — and the best rivalry of their generation could be on a collision course at the first major of the year.
Woods returned from an eightmonth break after knee surgery to win at Bay Hill two weeks ago when he rallied from a five-shot deficit to beat Sean O'Hair with a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in the dark. It was the type of putt Woods always seems to make, one summed up perfectly by Geoff Ogilvy: "Everyone is impressed,
They have not gone head-tohead at the Masters since 2001, when they played in the final group and Woods won by two shots to become the only pro to capture four consecutive majors.
Mickelson has won the Masters twice, and while the first one is the most memorable it was equally gratifying in 2006 to have Woods, the defending champion, help him into the green jacket.
"I do have a picture of him sliding that jacket on me," Mickelson said with a smile. "That felt good."
They are considered the top two contenders at the Masters, which starts Thursday, even in a year when there is no shortage of story lines, from Padraig Harrington going for a third straight major to Greg Norman returning to a major he loves, but has received no love back.
Mickelson could go to No. 1 in the world for the first time in an otherwise stellar career if he were to win the Masters and Woods finished out of the top five.
"It would be an incredible feat, given who is currently No. 1," Mickelson said.
That would be Woods, who intends to stay there.
"The No.1 ranking takes care of itself, just by winning golf tournaments." Woods said.
The last time Mickelson was so prominently featured at a major was
three years ago in the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, when he had a one-shot lead on the 18th hole with a chance to join Woods (who had missed the cut) and Ben Hogan as the only players to win three straight maiors. Mickelson made double bogey to lose by one, and he has not contended in a major since
"I think the whole idea is to
handle your own business and on Sunday, see where you are," Woods said.
Woods knows that from recent experience at Augusta.
He has been a Masters runner-up the last two years. He couldn't make enough birdies to make a run at Trevor Immelman last year, and he couldn't buy a putt in 2007
when he was trying to track down Zach Johnson. It was the only time he played in the final group at the Masters without winning.
Even so, Mickelson is among the few who relishes a chance to take on Woods, especially in a major.
"Hopefully, we will both play well," Mickelson said. "We have 54 holes where we have to play great
golf. I think he's playing some great golf, and I think he's going to be there. I think that I've been playing some of the best golf of my career, and I believe I'm going to be there, too."
On a tough golf course where birdies have become more rare, that might be enough to bring back some roars to the Masters.

Kansas to a gritty 5-4 victory against Iowa on Tuesday night. And Elgie can finally relax.
"It definitely feels good to get it out of the way and finally start seeing multi-hit games." Elgie said. "It feels good to get that off your chest and contribute to help the team win."
T-3:25. A-642
Elgie went 3-for-5 at the plate, a career-high in hits with another career-high of three RBI. The final two are what sent the lavhawks back to their hotel happy. They came off a first pitch fastball that coach Ritch Price told Elgie in a previous at-bat to not lay off of again.
"Coach Price said you should be looking for that first-pitch fastball that you see in the strike zone," Elgie said. "I took that advice into the last at-bat and it worked out for us"
Following a game that saw Kansas and Baylor combine for eight home runs, neither team had an extra-base hit in Tuesday's contest. That's the main reason the Jayhawks had only five runs total while collecting 16 hits.
"I don't think I've ever been a part of a game where there was no extra-base hits before," Elgie said. "But 16 hits, I'll take that every day."
Five of those 16 singles came off the bat of sophomore right fielder Brian Heere. Heere set a
career-high in hits and was not retired in any of his five at-bats. As much as Heere was ready to talk about Elgie's clutch hit. Heere couldn't recall the last time he went 5-for-5.
"It was probably junior high or little league or something," Heere said, chuckling.
It was Heere's fourth hit in the top of the seventh that tied the score at three, setting the table
for Elgie's magic two innings later.
Heere raised his batting average to .360 after struggling to keep his average above .200 in February.
Heere said that before the game he had some of his best batting practice work.
"I felt really good in batting practice. I felt like I had a good batting practice session." Heere said. "I was just seeing the ball well and putting good swings on the ball."
But Heere was just as quick to turn the focus to Elgie. Kansas failed to produce in a couple of run-scoring situations before the ninth inning even started and Elgie's bat bailed them out.
"We didn't have very many clutch hits early on in the game," Heere said. "Then Elgie comes up and gets a really big hit."

Huskies cap perfect season with sixth NCAA title

sixth national championship.
ST. LOUIS - With one final blowout, UConn grabbed the national title and a piece of basketball history.
Tina Charles had 25 points and grabbed 19 rebounds Tuesday night as UConn routed Louisville 76-54 and captured the Huskies
It wasn't just that Connecticut claimed another title. It was how they did it.
UConn won every one of its 39 games by double digits, an unprecedented run in college basketball.
Charles commanded both ends of the floor and Louisville, which lost badly to UConn for the third time this season, had no one who
could stop her.
Coach Geno Auriemma had said before the tournament that his junior center would be the key to UConn winning the title. A year after he benched her in the NCAAAs for inconsistent play, Charles delivered.
"I'm really happy for her," Auriemma said.

Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma is carried off by his players after Connecticut won the championship game at the women's NCAA college basketball tournament on Tuesday in St. Louis. Connecticut defeated Louisville 76-54.
Louisville (34-5) came into its first title game with little pressure. The Cardinals were big underdogs, bidding to knock off three No. 1 seeds on their way to a title.
"It's the big stage, our first time playing in a national championship game," Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "The first five minutes was what I was most concerned about. We went back and forth and I felt really good about things. Then we started to rush some shots."
Leading by six, the Huskies turned up their defense. Louisville missed 18 straight shots spanning the half as Connecticut turned a 30-24 lead into a 19-point advantage.
Angel McCoughtry finished off her stellar career for Louisville with 23 points. Candyce Bingham was the only other Cardinal in double figures with 10 points as Louisville (34-5) shot a dismal 31 percent from the floor.

With UConn's victory, the Big East also became the first conference ever to sweep the NCAA and WNIT championships in the same season. South Florida topped Kansas 75-17 on Saturday to win the WNIT, which began in 1998.

She was 11-for-13 from the field, and fell just one rebound short of becoming only the second player ever in a championship game to have at least 20 points and 20 rebounds. Charles was named the outstanding player of the Final Four.
Maya Moore and Renee Montgomery each added 18 points for the Huskies.

Former KU student, Kansan cartoonist wins $10,000 Charles M. Schulz award

Grant Snider recently won $10,000 with three simple tools: pen, paper and a dry sense of humor that can turn almost anything into a cartoon.
"Some of my comics are political-editorial themes, others are humorous, semi-autobiographical stuff," he said.
Snider, a former KU student and cartoonist for The University Daily Kansan, received the Charles M. Schulz award, an elite national journalism award from the Scripps Howard Foundation given to a college cartoonist every year.

travel on April 24 to the National Press Club in Washington D.C. to attend a banquet where Snider will receive the award.
Snider, now a dental student at the University of Missouri - Kansas City, submitted 15 comics to apply for the award. Some of the comics were political and others autobiographical, but none of them were a traditional editorial cartoon, something that Snider said might have
made his comics different than other submissions.
"The amount of time 1 put into a single comic strip might make it stand out more than a single panel cartoon or something done on the computer", said Snider, who is not a fan of online or computer-generated comics.
When Snider received an e-mail several weeks later that told him he was the winner, his reaction was nothing short of complete shock.
"I freaked out and took my dog outside to calm down a bit." Snider said. "I came back in and let it sink in a little bit."

University hosts awareness event
Panelists will talk about alcohol fatalities
BY LAUREN HENDRICK

lhendrick@kansan.com
A panel discussion and documentary screening about alcohol fatalities will take place from 7 to 9 tonight at the Kansas Union.
Laura Green, executive director of the Drug Policy Forum of Kansas, said she was compelled
to organize an event in direct response to the death of Jason Wren,
a 19-year-old Littleton, Colo., freshman who was found dead in his fraternity on March 8.
PAMELA A. MAYER
Spady
"No one was holding a discussion," Green said. "We need to get together as a community and discuss what we doing and what we can do on our campus. It's a community issue."
Her concern that the issue would go overbooked during National Alcohol Awareness Month prompted her and other members of the forum to organize a diverse panel of people to discuss the causes of alcohol fatalities and possible preventative measures.
The discussion will follow the 30-minute documentary "Death by Alcohol: The Sam Spady Story."
Sam Spady, a 19-year-old Colorado State University student, died from alcohol poisoning in September 2004.
Mason Tvert, executive director of Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation, or SAFER, will be one of four panelists during tonight's discussion. SAFER is a non-profit organization based in Denver. Tvert said he suggested the documentary be shown because it conveyed the severity of alcohol abuse.
Twert will also be on campus this afternoon to meet with students and discuss the effects of marijuana as a less-harmful substance in comparison with alcohol. He will be on Wescoe Beach at 1 p.m.
"Universities need to reduce the desire to binge drink," Tvert said.
He said he believed marijuana should become more tolerated on college campuses to reduce alcohol fatalities.
Kimber Richter, associate professor of preventive medicine, Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, and Phil Bradley, representative of hospitality industry will also be panelists. Phil Minkin, past-president of the Douglas County American Civil Liberties Union, will moderate the discussion.

KABUL — A controversial law that critics said legalized marital rape was unconstitutional and led toward the "Talibanization" of Afghanistan's legal system, according to a petition signed by dozens of Afghan ministers, lawmakers and officials.
The law, quietly passed and signed last month, has stirred international outcry over women's rights. The law said a husband could have sex with his wife every four days unless she was ill, and regulated when and for what reasons a wife might leave home.

The image shows the 17,000-ton container ship Maerkal Alabama, when it was operating under the name Maerkal Alva. The ship was hijacked by Somali pirates with 20 crew members aboard on Wednesday while sailing from Salalah in Oman to the Kenyan port of Mombasa via Dilhoub.

American crew regained control after highjacking; captain being held hostage in lifeboat
KATHARINE HOURELD Associated Press Writer
NAIROBI, Kenya — In a riveting high-seas drama, an unarmed American crew wrested control of their U.S.-flagged cargo ship from Somali pirates Wednesday and sent them fleeing to a lifeboat with the U.S. captain as hostage.
The destroyer USS Bainbridge, one of a half dozen warships that headed for the area, arrived at the scene Thursday morning a few hours before dawn, said Kevin Speers, a spokesman for the company that owns the Maersk Alabama. He said the boat with the pirates was floating near the ship, the first with an American crew to be taken by pirates off the Horn of Africa.
Speers said officials were waiting
to see what happened when the sun came up. Crew members had been negotiating with the pirates Wednesday for the return of the captain.
A family member said Capt. Richard Phillips surrendered himself to the pirates to secure the safety of the crew.
"What I understand is that he offered himself as the hostage," said Gina Coggio, 29, half sister of Phillips' wife. "That is what he would do. It's just who he is and his responsibility as a captain."
Details of the day's events emerged sporadically as members of the crew were reached by satellite phone, providing a glimpse of the maneuvering.
A sailor who spoke to The Associated Press said the entire 20-member crew had been taken hostage but managed to seize one pirate and then successfully negotiated their own release. The man did not identify himself during the brief conversation.
A family member said Capt. Richard Phillips surrendered himself to the pirates to secure the safety of the crew.
The crisis played out hundreds of miles off the coast of Somalia
— one of the most lawless nation, on earth. President Barack Obama was following the situation closely, foreign policy adviser Denis McDonough said.
The Maersk Alabama was the sixth vessel seized by Somali pirates in a week. Pirates have staged 66 attacks since January, and they are still holding 14 ships and 260 crew members as hostages, according to the International Maritime Bureau, a watchdog group based in Kuala
Lumpur.

Somalia's 1,900-mile long coastline borders one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and offers a perfect haven to the heavily armed pirate gangs. They often dress in military fatigues and use GPS systems and satellite phones to coordinate attacks from small, fast speedboats resupplied by a larger "mother ship."
The pirates usually use rocket propelled grenades, anti-tank rocket launchers and automatic weapons to capture large, slow-moving vessels like the U.S. flagged
According to reports from the crew, the pirates sank their boat when they
boarded the ship. The captain talked them into getting off the vessel using one of the ship's lifeboats.
Second Mate Ken Quinn told CNN in a live interview Wednesday that the crew also had held a hostage.

Capt. Shane Murphy, second in command on the ship, told his wife, Serena, that pirates had followed the ship Monday and pursued it again for three or four hours before boarding it Wednesday morning, family members said.
The ship was taken about 7:30 a.m. local time some 380 miles east of the Somali capital of Mogadishu. Analysts said many of the pirates had shifted their operations down the Somali coastline from the Gulf of Aden to escape naval warship patrols.
Reinhart said the company's vessels had received a heightened alert about piracy activity. He did not have particulars about how the ship was taken, but said the crew's orders were to hide in safe rooms until aid came. They did not have
weapons, he said, and typically their defense would be to fight the pirates off with fire hoses as they

Obama considering climate engineering
SETH BORENSTEIN
AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON — Tinkering with Earth's climate to chill runaway global warming — a radical idea once dismissed out of hand — is being discussed by the White House as a potential emergency option, the president's new science adviser said Wednesday.
That's because global warming is happening so rapidly, John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month.
The concept of using technology to purposely cool the climate is called geoengineering. One option raised by Holdren and proposed by a Nobel Prizewinning scientist includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays.
Using such an experimental measure is only being thought of as a last resort. Holden said.
"It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury ... of ruling any approach off the table."
His concern is that the United States and other nations won't slow global warming fast enough and that several "tipping points" could be fast approaching. Once such milestones are reached, such as complete loss of summer sea ice in the Arctic, it increases chances of "really intolerable consequences," he said.
Twice in a half-hour interview, Holdren compared global warming to being "in a car with bad brakes driving toward a cliff in the fog."
At first, Holden characterized the potential need to technologically tinker with the climate as just his personal view. However, he went on to say he has raised it in administration discussions.
He and many experts believe that warming of a few degrees more would lead to disastrous drought conditions and food shortages in some regions, rising seas and more powerful coastal storms in others.
"We're talking about all these issues in the White House," Holden said. "There's a very vigorous process going on of discussing all the options for addressing the energy climate challenge."
Holden led discussions included Cabinet officials and heads of
sub-Cabinet level agencies, such as NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The 65-year-old physicist is far from alone in taking geoengineering seriously. The National Academy of Sciences is making it the subject of the first workshop in its new climate challenges program for policymakers, scientists and the public. The British Parliament has also discussed the idea. At an international meeting of climate scientists last month in Copenhagen, 15 talks dealt with different aspects of geoengineering.
The American Meteorological Society is crafting a policy statement that says "it is prudent to consider geoengineering's potential, to understand its limits and to avoid rash deployment."
Last week, Princeton scientist Robert Socolow told the National Academy that geoengineering should be an available option in case climate worsens dramatically.
Holdren, a 1981 winner of a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, outlined these possible geoengineering options;
- Shooting sulfur particles (like those produced by power plants and volcanoes, for example) into the upper atmosphere, an idea that gained steam when it was proposed by Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen in 2006. It would be "basically mimicking the effect of volcanoes in screening out the incoming sunlight," Holdren said.
- Creating artificial "trees"
- giant towers that suck carbon dioxide out of the air and store it.
The first approach would "try to produce a cooling effect to offset the heating effect of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases." Holden said.
But he said there could be grave side effects. Studies suggest that might include eating away a large chunk of the ozone layer above the poles and causing the Mediterranean and the Mideast to be much drier.
And those are just the predicted problems. Scientists said they worried about side effects that they didn't anticipate.
While the idea could strike some people as too risky, the Obama administration could get unusual support on the idea from groups that have often denied the harm of global warming in the past.

said that he did not have any extravagant plans for the $10,000, but that he would probably use it to pay off student loans or buy more pens, art supplies and graphic novels for drawing inspiration.

books. Gavin, Mu vane senior in architecture, said they would each take a side of an easel and create an imaginary world with different characters, stories and people. When the boys got older, they wrote and illustrated books of poems.
Although Snider continued drawing in high school, he did not seriously start drawing until he came to the University to study chemical engineering. During his junior year, he started drawing a daily opinion cartoon for The Kansan.
Soon after, then-editor Erick Schmidt asked Snider to redraw the Weather Jays that appear on the bottom of The Kansan's front page. The Weather Jays being used at the time were more than 30 years old, and Snider drew 20 new Jays.
"It was a pretty easy project and fun to do," Snider said. "That was my biggest cartooning commission since."
Now, Snider draws between one and three drawings a week for The University News, UMKC's weekly student newspaper. Last week, he started drawing a comic strip for The Kansas City Star's Thursday Preview section.

Gavin said his brother's dry sense of humor appeared in his comics, poking fun at political figures laughing at personal experiences or commenting on the music industry.

Snider also helped Detamore with research in testing the jaw joints of pigs, something that stemmed from Snider's interest in dentistry. Snider's research with Detamore was published in the Journal of Dental Research, something that Detamore said was a significant accomplishment for an undergraduate student.
Snider insists that dentistry and drawing are easily related.
"They're both pretty detail-oriented, using meticulous hands skills", Snider said. "You have to have a critical eye for what you're working on and it's all visual."

Goldberg said he was 21 so he would be almost 50 years old the next time the ritual was performed. He said that several blessings were read specifically for this holiday that were never heard otherwise.
"This is a great way to express our appreciation for the environment. We take the sun for granted," Tiechtel said. "It's good to pause and thank God."
"It's a very important time and we want to take advantage and do as many mizvahs as possible to elevate ourselves to a higher spiritual level," Goldberg said. "It's a very meaningful thing."
Charles Goldberg, Chicago senior, said he heard that the last time the ritual took place, thousands of people filled a New York City street to join in.
"You only get to do this mitzvah once every 28 years in your life," Goldberg said. "It's not something you do every day."
Tiechtel said the holiday applied to anyone who appreciated the environment and the sun. He said Jews around the world, of many denominations, joined together for this one special occasion.

Journalist faces spying charge
ASSOCIATED PRESS
...
Reza Saberi, the father of American-Iranian journalist Roxana Saberi, is photographed in his Fargo, N.D., home in February. Roxana, pictured in foreground, has been in jail for two months in Iran. Roxana's parents Reza and Akiko arrived in Iran on Sunday as part of their efforts to seek her release and visited their daughter in prison on Monday.
American held in Iran won't be released quickly
BY ALI AKBAR DAREINI
Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — An American journalist jailed for more than two months in Iran has been charged with spying for the U.S., a judge said Wednesday, dashing hopes of a quick release days after her parents arrived in the country seeking her freedom.
The espionage charge is far more serious than earlier statements by Iranian officials that the woman had been arrested for working in the Islamic Republic without press credentials and her own assertion in a phone call to her father that she was arrested after buying a bottle of wine.
Roxana Saberi, who grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, and is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Iran, has been living in Iran for six years. She has reported from there for several news organizations, including National Public Radio and the British Broadcasting Corp.
An investigative judge involved in the case told state TV that Saberi was passing classified information to U.S. intelligence services.
"Under the cover of a journalist, she visited government buildings, established contacts with some of the employees, gathered classified information and sent it to the U.S. intelligence services," said the judge, who under security rules was identified only by his surname, Heidarifard.
"Her activities were discovered by the counter-espionage department of the Intelligence Ministry," Heidarifard said.
Saberi will stand trial next week, the judge said, though he did not specify which day.
The announcement of espionage charges got the attention of the Obama administration, which has been pushing for her release.
"We are deeply concerned by the news that we're hearing," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told reporters at the State Department, adding that the administration had asked Swiss diplomats in Iran for the "most accurate, up-to-date information" on Saberi. Though the U.S. has no diplomatic relations with Iran, it has an interests section at the Swiss Embassy.
Officials in the woman's home state who have been pressing for action also expressed concern about the direction her case is taking.
“This is disturbing news and is certainly hard to believe,” said Senator Kent Conrad of North Dakota, noting that at first the government had accused her of working without accreditation. "Now the story is Roxana is a spy? I find this all very hard to believe."
The 31-year-old freelance reporter was arrested in late January. Her lawyer, Abdolsamad Khorramshahi, said Saberi had been informed of the espionage charge against her and that he planned to request that she be released on bail until the trial.
Human rights groups have repeatedly criticized Iran for arresting journalists and suppressing freedom of speech.
The government has arrested several Iranian-Americans in the past few years, citing alleged attempts to overthrow its Islamic government.
In another indication of the seriousness of the case, Saberi's lawyer also learned this week that it would be reviewed by Iran's Revolutionary Court, which normally handles cases involving threats to national security.
yet been allowed to read the text of the indictment, which he expects to see by Saturday.
Khorramshahi said he has not
After her arrest, Iran's Foreign Ministry had initially said she had engaged in illegal activities because she continued working in Iran after the government revoked her press credentials in 2006.
Saberi's parents visited their daughter Monday in Evin prison, north of the capital, Tehran. The couple from North Dakota met Saberi for half an hour — the first time they had spoken to her since she called them on Feb. 10 to say she had been arrested.
Her father, Reza Saberi, and her mother, Akiko, were pleased after the meeting and said it appeared their daughter was in good health and in good spirits, according to the lawyer.
They could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.

Gay marriage may be facing debate in D.C.
Four states legalize same-sex marriage
BY BRIAN WESTLEY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The next battleground over gay marriage could be the U.S. Capitol.
A preliminary vote by the District of Columbia city council to recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere puts the issue on a path to Congress, which has final say over D.C.'s laws. That may force lawmakers to take up the politically dicey debate after years of letting it play out in the states.
"Let's be clear, this is a new era," openly gay D.C. Council member David Catania said Wednesday, expressing optimism that the city's law would clear Congress after a final coun-
ci vote in May.
. The council's unanimous vote Tuesday came the same day Vermont became the fourth state to legalize gay marriage and the
first to do so with a legislature's vote. Court rulings led to same-sex marriages in the three other states where it's legal: Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa.
Like the measure approved in D.C., New York also recognizes same-sex marriages performed elsewhere but hasn't issued its own marriage licenses for gay and lesbian couples.
The situation in D.C. is unique, though. After the legislation receives final approval from the council, which is supposed to come next month, the bill is then subject to a 30-day congressional review.
"Let's be clear, this is a new era."
That review could be the new Congress' first opportunity to signal its appetite for re-examining the Defense of Marriage Act, which bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages and allows states to do the same.
Since that federal law was passed in 1996, the debate has primarily played out in individual states.
Vermont became the first state to legalize civil unions — in 1999 — and Massachusetts was the first state to legalize same-sex marriages, which began taking place there in 2004.
Advocates see Washington holding symbolic importance in the debate, but some stressed that there isn't a dominant battleground in the quest for marriage equality.
DAVID CATANIA D.C. Council member
"The district is equivalent to a small state, and the only
difference is Congress' ability to interfere with local decisions," said David Smith, vice president of the Washington-based Human Rights Campaign.
"We would treat it as any other state and move to defend the decision of the legislature or the courts."
However, Jennifer Pizer, marriage project director at New York-based Lambda Legal, noted that D.C. is unique and influential because of its national focus.
"There's important national attention on the things that happen in the district because it's the seat of the federal government," she said.
Opponents said it remains to be seen whether a Democrat-controlled Congress will have any interest in repealing the city's efforts.
Congress is in recess through April 17.

Fox to lay off employees on TV show

'Someone's Gotta Go' allows co-workers to choose who loses
DAVID BAUDER

NEW YORK - The fox network is letting employees of some troubled small businesses decide which one of their colleagues will be laid off and turning the results

Each episode will feature a company with about
and let the employees make the call.
"I don't think there's much to laugh at in terms of watching someone else's pain and misery."
In an inverse to "The Apprentice", the chosen one loses, instead of gets, a job.
Fox says the laid-off worker will get a small severance, but isn't saying whether the network or producers are paying the participants in anything beyond the chance for primetime fame. Fox is developing the show with Endemol USA, the company behind "Big Brother," "Deal or No Deal" and "Fear Factor."

founder and chief executive officer of Women For Hire, which organizes job fairs and advises women seeking work, said she wonders whether "Someone's Gotta Go" is
a good idea at a time so many people are out of work.
"For most people who are concerned about job security or are desperate to get hired, I don't think there's much to laugh at in terms of watching someone else's pain and misery," said Johnson, a regular contributor to ABC's "Good Morning America."
But Mike Darnell, chief of alternative programming at Fox, said everyone who participates in the show knows fully what they are doing.
Fox and Endemol have had "absolutely no trouble" finding companies willing to participate, he said.

Fox wouldn't reveal the show's host, which it says is a business consultant who will offer advice to participating companies.

PACENTRO, Italy — The mayor of an Italian town shaken by Monday's earthquake said Madonna promised $500,000 to help people in need.
Fernando Caparso, the mayor of Pacentro, the mountain-side village where two of the pop star's grandparents were born, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that that he had spoken to the pop star's manager. He said he was deeply moved by Madonna's effort to assist the town as well as surrounding areas.
Pacentro, 100 kilometers (60 miles) from hard-hit L'Aquila, felt Monday's earthquake but didn't suffer major damage. Caparso said most of the donation would go to areas harder hit.

NEWYORK — In a new comedic Web video, Zac Efron hosts a star-studded pool party that dissolves quickly when his rude uncle arrives.
The "High School Musical" heartthrob did the video for FunnyOrDie.com, the comedy video Web site co-founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. It features cameos of seemingly half of young Hollywood and a few veterans, too.
Making appearances are Nicole Richie, Vanessa Hudgens, Justin Long, Lance Bass, Queen Latifah and Carmen Electra.
Tom Lennon stars as "Uncle Hank," who embarrasses Efron with his crass behavior.
The video, posted Wednesday, was rapidly turning viral, with more than 193,000 people viewing it as of early afternoon.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Kansan endorses Heilman, encourages split-ticket vote
The three coalitions running with a slate of candidates for Student Senate this year,
Envision, Students of Liberty and United Students, have essentially the same priorities, and because individual senators rarely vote based upon party lines after election season, it matters less which coalition achieves a majority than who fills the key leadership positions and what feasible objectives they pursue. KAIPOP
Based upon these criteria, Mason Heilman, Lawrence junior and presidential candidate for United Students, is best suited for the role of Student Senate president, because he brings the most experience to the table. This year, he has served as the Student Executive Committee chairman, and last year he led the Student Rights Committee, demonstrating that he is capable of effectively handling the responsibility entailed in important leadership positions.
KANSAN'S
OPINION
That said, students should vote
the common themes of environmental sustainability and senate accountability. It does not matter which coalition has the most members elected, but
These two goals should be the top priority for Student Senate and the student body:
which policies are implemented after the election is over.
1. Accountability to students:
Currently, the student body has no good record of how its senators vote throughout the year. Student Senate has electronic "clickers" that record how each senator has voted, and they should use these to record every vote by every senator every time. These votes should then be posted online in an accessible format. This idea has been adamantly advocated by Adam Wood, the presidential candidate for Students of Liberty, and he deserves due credit for his effort'
HOW TO VOTE

on April 15 and 16.
2. Environmental sustainability: Beyond superficial measures such as generating power at the Student Recreation Fitness Center with elliptical machines, Student Senate should focus on implementing cost-effective, energy-saving measures such as installing double-paned windows in campus buildings. Envision's plan to work with KU Endowment to create a long-term sustainability fund, as some smaller, private universities have already done, is one realistic way to begin.
EDITORIAL CARTOON
Some would say the vote is priceless, but in this case we know exactly how much it is worth — $417.70 in fees each semester. Students should vote for Mason Heilman, but they should vote split-ticket.

OPINION

coordinated the planning of the debate and had already opted to move it inside Stauffer-Flint Hall because of the possibility of inclement weather. After learning of the threats, Brenna Hawley, Kansan editor-in-chief, decided to cancel the event, given the uncertainty surrounding the situation.
The need for metal detectors indicated the substantive nature of the threat, but during the course of the day, administration officials and University Relations employees
repeatedly rebuffed Kansan reporters and refused to explain the exact nature of the threats, the need for the metal detectors, or the reason for keeping debate participants in the dark.
The campus police department would say only that there was an "unsubstantiated rumor," and Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, delayed answering The Kansani's questions until hours after the debate's scheduled time.
The University's response to these threats proved to be inadequate and disconcerting in light of the recent incidents of gun violence near campus and the spate of mass shootings around the nation during the previous month.
The administration's intent may have been to prevent instilling fear in the student body, but the result was the exact opposite.

Train travel won't work until routes improve
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Foster's column advocating travel by rail. I personally have taken Amtrak between Lawrence and my home in Colorado several times. The column omitted one minor detail that may impact Amtrak's "convenience" for KU students: the schedule.
For students traveling east to Chicago, Amtrak's Southwest Chief departs at 5:49 a.m. (or, only a couple of hours after last call, if you want to hang out at the station with the rest of the drunks). But if you're going west (as I suspect most KU students are) you'll need to be at the station literally in the middle of the night and won't pass Hutchinson until 4 a.m. The coach chairs don't recline very far, and it's a little uncomfortable trying to get some rest.
Kansas would be much better served by a high-speed rail
route running along the I-70 corridor, linking Kansas City with the college towns of Lawrence, Manhattan and Hays, with stops in Topeka, Salina and Goodland on a daylight run to Denver. That probably won't happen until roughly 20 years after gas reaches $10 per gallon.
Until then, we're stuck, which is probably why no one (including me) rides the train anymore. I can fly to Denver for about $20 more and be home in less than half the time. I would like to travel more often by train and enjoy the scenery, but until the country decides to invest more than the paltry eight billion the president recently allocated for high-speed rail corridors (none of which serve Kansas) we're going to fall even further behind the European system and remain tied to our cars or in the crowded skies.

South Korean protesters burn a mock rocket, North Korean flag and portrait of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il during a rally in Seoul, South Korea, on Wednesday. Demonstrators protested against North Korea's recent rocket launch
North Korea defends launch
U.N. Security Council debates action against the communist nation
SEOUL, South Korea — Tens of thousands of North Koreans rallied Wednesday in Pyongyang to support Kim Jong Il as he embarks on his third term as leader and to celebrate a rocket launch that was criticized elsewhere as a violation of U.N. sanctions.
HYUNG-JIN KIM Associated Press Writer
Kim was expected to attend a session of the North's rubber-stamp parliament Thursday and be re-elected as chairman of the powerful National'
Defense Commission in his first major public appearance since a reported stroke in August.
The U.S., Japan and South Korea are leading a campaign in the U.N. Security Council to penalize the North.
The 67-year-old Kim rules the impoverished yet nuclear-armed North in his capacity as chief of the commission, which oversees the country's 1.2 million-member military — one of the world's largest.
North Korea claimed it sent a satellite into space, but neighboring countries said nothing reached orbit and that the launch was really a test of its long-range missile technology.
His re-election comes amid regional tension over the country's controversial rocket launch Sunday.
The U.S., Japan and South Korea are leading a campaign in the U.N. Security Council to penalize the North.
"The imperialists and reactionaries who have committed all kinds of despicable acts, tenaciously pursuing anti-(North Korea) moves to isolate and stifle us, will be driven into a yet tighter corner because of our satellite launch." Choe Tae Bok, a top Workers' Party official, told the rally.
Footage obtained by APTN in Pyongyang showed a massive crowd of neatly dressed people packed in the main Kim Il Sung square — named after Kim's father, North
North Korea previously has organized mass rallies at times of high tensions with the outside world or after key events, such as the country's first nuclear test blast in 2006.
Choe called the launch "a shining fruition" of Kim's efforts to develop the North's science and technology, "foreseeing a rosy future of the country," according to KCNA.
Defense Minister Kim Yong Chun separately told a government meeting later Wednesday that his army would defeat U.S. and South Korean forces with "strong, merciless return fire," accusing them of plotting to launch a pre-emptive attack on the North, according to the North's state TV.
The North routinely issues similar claims, and the U.S. and South Korea repeatedly have said they have no intention to attack. The U.S. has 28,500 troops in South Korea, a legacy of the 1950-53
Korean War.
Debate in the Security Council on whether to penalize North Korea for the launch remained stalled, with North Korea's closest ally, China, and Russia calling for restraint. The U.S. warned that a response would take time.
Asked whether three days without U.N. action means North Korea can do anything with internity, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said, "It's not a long time in relations between nations or in the affairs of the Security Council."
North Korea's deputy U.N. ambassador, Pak Tok Hun, accused the Security Council of being "undemocratic" by targeting the communist nation while allowing many other countries to launch satellites.
He warned that the North would retaliate with "strong steps" if the Security Council took action.
On Wednesday, the North's military accused Japan of mobilizing warships to find fragments of the rocket, calling it a "vicious act of espionage" and an "intolerable military provocative act" that infringed upon the country's sovereignty, according to a statement carried by KCNA.
Kim was expected to attend Thursday's legislative session, according to South Koreas Unification Ministry, which handles relations with the North.
Kim took over power when his father died of heart failure in 1994. His health is of keen interest because he rules the nation of 24 million with absolute authority, allowing no opposition.
He has three sons with two different wives but has not publicly named a successor.

Dreams of unequaled season start now
BYSTEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
"Those are the moments in which you are able to think that is going to be perfect when the moment actually happens," he continues. "We always feel better in anticipation."
"There is no better moment than this moment, when we are anticipating the actual moment itself," begins incendiary comedian Lewis Black's album "Anticipation."
And really, he's right. It is April and we're two days out from football's spring game, Junior quarterback Todd Reesing will drop back, inevitably scramble out of the pocket and sling a pass to junior wide receiver Kerry Meier in front of us for the first time since last December's Insight Bowl.
We're going to see recently-converted left tackle, redshirt freshman Tanner Hawkinson and swear up and down that he will not - cannot - be stopped. No, he's truly the next great left tackle at Kansas.
With the fahawks replacing all three linebacker positions, we'll fall in love with the future Saturday. Coach Mark Mangino's decision to move junior Angus Quigley from running back to linebacker might be thought of as genius a move as Meier's transition from quarterback to receiver. Junior Jake Schermer will finally get his shot after playing behind Joe Mortensen, Mike Rivera, James Holt, Kevin Kane, Nick Reid and Banks Floodman over the years.
You know, I've also been thinking that few things are as addictive and yet so disposable as preview magazines. We do this all the time. A glossy cover grabs us at the store and promises unrivaled pigskin prognostications months from the season's start. We must have it.
Some years those surprises are overwhelmingly pleasant — such as 2007. Others, not so much. But the feelings we have right now, at this very moment, are often as good as it gets. For a few short months were in control. Our imaginations give us hope and excitement that that cold, hard bithed named Reality rarely delivers.
And so when junior satez, Darrell Stuckey makes a leaping interception, or, even better, a new arrival such as IUCO cornerback Calvin Rubles wows us. we'll swear that there's not a better collection of players in the land. That Mangino and his staff are conecting something special. Disney will want to take note of this.
And then, of course, the actual moment occurs. Months - sometimes even weeks - later those magazines are rendered useless; the future is nothing like we thought it'd be.
It doesn't matter that the team Kansas is playing Saturday is itself. That will not hamper our expectations of and impressions from the spring game. No, because the game really isn't being played at Memorial Stadium. It's in our heads.

CHICAGO — The Kansas City Royals claimed third baseman Travis Metcalf on waivers from the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.
Metcalf, 26, was added to the Royals' 40-man roster and assigned to Triple-A Omaha. The University of Kansas product batted.249 with 11 homers and 35 RBIs in 217 at-bats with the Rangers over the last two seasons.

'Spinning Sam' Hornish keeps nickname intact
FORT WORTH, Texas — Smoke billowed from the rear tires when Sam Hornish Jr. lost control of his No. 77 car on the backstretch at Texas Motor Speedway.
While replays showed Jimmie Johnson narrowly avoiding the latest Hornish mishap, one commentator called him "Spinning Sam" on national television. That's probably not the nickname Hornish had in mind when the former IRL champion made the move to NASCAR, but his spin with about 100 laps to go in Sunday's Samson 500 kept intact a statistic that seems like a misprint. Hornish hasn't had a top-10 finish in any of his 43 Sprint cup races.
Gear heads can rub their eyes all they want. The stat is right. Funny thing is, Hornish isn't all that surprised.
"I would have thought we would have had a little more success by this point, but it's not been a thing where I'm going,' Man, this is so much harder than I thought it was," Hornish said last week.
It would have been easy to decide otherwise. Hornish was a rock star on the IRL circuit.
Races like Texas fit Hornish better because they're similar to the oval racing that dominates the IRL schedule. But the Sprint Cup races are much longer, another area where he's had to adjust. His Texas spin, from which Hornish recovered to salvage a 17th-place finish, came just about the time IRL races end at TMS.

Tiger Woods' birthday will age me,too
The world's greatest golfer made me feel really old on Wednesday.
*OK, here's the thing: When you're a senior in college, and you are about to graduate, you start to get a little reflective. You start to think about the four years that have just barreled past you. And really, everything makes you feel old.
You start to think about classes you had when you were a little pup freshman, and old faces you've long forgotten, and the gallons and gallons of discount light beer you've downed.
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
And then you look at the little-pup freshman, who gets to live three more years of this glorious anti-reality called college, and you feel old again.
But on Wednesday, Eldrick "Tiger" Woods made me feel old in a totally different way.
Today, of course, is the first round of The Masters. And Tiger Woods, perhaps the most dominant athlete in the universe, will play his first major since winning the U.S. Open on a torn ACL and a fractured leg last June.
M
Woods
And Tiger Woods, who can maneuver a golf course in the same manner that Michelangelo could maneuver a chapel ceiling, will turn 34 this
year.*
*You know, nothing makes you feel older than watching your childhood sports heroes age. Did you realize Derek Jeter turns 35 this summer? Carlos Beltran turns 32 this month. Jacque Vaughn just turned 34.
His hair is thinning. His face is beginning to wrinkle. He is no longer a kid.
Tiger is no longer the kid who shook up the world at the 1997
Masters. He's no longer the kid who stalked the back nine with that baggy red sweater hanging off his thin frame. He's no longer the kid who buried his tearful face in the chest of his father after he had won by 12 strokes.
So yes, Tiger Woods is no longer a kid. But today, he'll again step foot on the grass at Augusta National, the azaleas blooming in the background, and he'll be a little wiser and his leg will be healthy. And Tiger will once again climb onto the No. 1 teebox with his otherworldly stare intently focused toward the green. And then he'll pull out his driver and nuke a moonshot down the right side of the fairway.
And you'll hear that ferocious whipping sound as the ball leaves the clubface and the crowd will hush. And then someone will yell,
D. JOHNSON
And maybe for a second, we won't feel so old.
... AND A BOY SHALL LEAD THEM
Here's a quick story about Josh
Pastner
Pastner, the 31-year-old boy wonder, who was hired to replace John Calipari at Memphis. When I was
When I was a freshman
at Shawnee Mission South High School, I went to our high school summer basketball camp.
One of our coaches was just a young 20-something aspiring college coach, and he had heard a story about a young 20-something who had just been hired as an assistant at Arizona.
You guessed it, that assistant was Pastner, who was just 24 or 25 at the time. Pastner's story has turned into somewhat of a college basketball legend. He walked on at Arizona, became the Wildcats' video coordinator a few years later, and then became one of the youngest assistants in the country under Arizona's Lute Olson. I even remember a story of how Pastner, in his early 20s, sent in a resume to an NBA team that had a head
THE MORNING BREW
coaching vacancy.
Anyway, during our summer basketball camp, my high school coach set up a speaker phone in a classroom, and Pastner took the time to talk to talk to us about basketball, dreams and a few life lessons.
We don't know how Pastner will do at Memphis. We can't yet. He could be the next Calipari, or he could be the next Quin Snider.
MLB
But I know Pastner has been preparing his whole life for this moment, and as a great sports-writer once said, you always root for the good story.
And I think Pastner has a pretty good story.

Royals beat White Sox 2-0 Greinke's solid start helps Kansas City gain first victory

CHICAGO — Zack Greinke pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning and the Kansas City bullpen was perfect Wednesday night, giving the Royals a 2-0 win over the Chicago White Sox.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Royals catcher Miguel Olivo, left, acknowledges the six innings of shutout pitching by Zack Greinke, right, as Greinke leaves the game in the seventh inning of their baseball game against the Chicago White Sox in Chicago, Wednesday, April 8, 2009.
Greinke (1-0) struck out seven and walked three, winning for the first time in seven career decisions at U.S. Cellular Field.
Relievers Juan Cruz and Joakim Soria retired all nine batters to preserve the Royals' first victory of the season. In Tuesday's opener, Chicago rallied to win when Jim Thome hit a three-run homer in the eighth innning off reliever Kyle Farnsworth.
Mike Aviles doubled and scored in the third inning, then singled and scored in the fifth for the Royals. That was enough for Greinke, who simply outpitched Gavin Flovd (0-1).
A 13-game winner last season,
Greinke left after Jermaine Dye led
off the seventh with a single. Cruz set
down Paul Konerko, A.J. Pierzynski
and Alexei Ramirez before retiring
the side in the eighth.
Soria pitched the ninth for his first save after converting 42 of 45
opportunities last year.
earned runs in 28 1-3 innings during spring training.
The White Sox wasted a solid performance by Floyd, who allowed six hits and struck out nine in seven innings. The team leader with 17 wins last season, he retired the first eight batters before Aviles doubled off the center-field wall and Coco Crisp drove a ground-rule double to the warning track in center.
The only hits he allowed were two singles by Dye and one by Pierzynski. Not bad, considering Greinke was 0-6 with a 7.78 ERA in his first eight appearances — including six starts — at U.S. Cellular Field. Then again, expectations are high in Kansas City. And Greinke is a big reason why. He went 13-10 last season while setting career highs in strikeouts (183) and innings (202 1-3) and posting the best ERA (3.47) by a Royals starter in 11 years.
It became 2-0 when Aviles led off the fifth with a single and scored from third on Mark Teahen's single.

Teams cut payrolls for their active rosters and disabled lists by $47 million from opening day in 2008 to the first day of this season, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. That comes out to a drop of 1.7 percent.
NEW YORK - The recession has hit baseball salaries.
The 25-year-old Greinke eased any concerns after allowing 29
"Clubs were cautious all winter with regards to the economy and were concerned the economy might have an impact on club revenue," said Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer. "The spending reflected that for many clubs."
The drop is the first since 2004 and just the second since the 1994-95 strike.
Looking at payroll team by team, 16 of the 30 major league clubs cut payroll. Among those who lowered spending — the mighty New York Yankees.
While the Yankees led the major leagues with a $201.4 million payroll, they trimmed salaries by $7.6 million from the start of last season. The difference is that they added high-priced free agents CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira, they also let Jason Giambi, Bobby Abreu and Carl Pavano leave, watched Mike Mussina retire and more than halved pitcher Andy Pettitte's guaranteed pay.

The 14 who increased salaries were led by AL champion Tampa Bay ( $19.5 million ), the Chicago Cubs ( $16.5 million ), Florida ($15.0 million ), and World Series champion Philadelphia ( $14.7 million ).
"The company would have had every right to reduce the payroll until the new owner came," said Cubs general manager Jim Hendry, whose team is in the process of being sold from Sam Zell's Tribune Co. to a group headed by Tom Ricketts, a member of the founding family of TD Ameritrade Holding Corp.
Instead, the Cubs invested in switch-hitter Milton Bradley to try and break their more than century-long streak without a World Series title.
And while the 10 highest spenders lowered payroll by an average of $7.8 million, the 10 lowest raised spending by an average of $4.5 million, a small step toward commissioner Bud Selig's goal of closing the gap between rich and poor teams.
"We're seeing a continuation of the trend of mid- and small-market teams developing their own talent and keeping their own talent," DuPuy said, "and I think that's reflected in the totals that you see."

The slow free-agent market, meanwhile, has drawn the attention of the players' association, but it has not yet decided whether to file a collusion grievance.
"Obviously, there were a lot of economic conditions going on," union head Donald Fehr said. "My guess is not the same factors were considered by everyone, but I don't know that to be the case."
On the highest payroll list, the Yankees were followed by the crosstown rival Mets at $135.7 million. Both teams move into revenue-boosting new ballparks this season.
The Cubs are third at $135.1 million, followed by Boston ($123 million), Detroit ($115 million), the Los Angeles Angels ($113.7 million) and Philadelphia ($113 million).

Jayhawk victory against the Wildcats propels team close to top half of the Big 12
BY JUSTIN HILLEY jhilley@kansan.com
On a day that was so sunny one of the umpires had to move his chair to the other side of the court half-way through the dual match, the Kansas Iayhawks defeated the Kansas State Wildcats yesterday in the Sunflower Showdown for the 40th time in school history. Kansas has only lost seven times in the schools' all-time matchups.
The lavahawks are now 4-5 in the Big 12 with an overall record of 9-10.
With three games remaining in the regular season, the team is in seventh place riding closely behind Nebraska and Texas Tech, which are both 4-4 in the conference.
Erin Wilbert lost its match to the Wildcat's Mariya Slupska and Natasha Viera.
The Jayhawks began the doubles round on a shaky note when the KU pair of sophomore Maria Martinez and freshman
However, the loss was balanced and eventually overcome by the doubles pairings of senior Edina Horvath and freshman Ekaterina Morozova, and senior Yuliana Svistun and junior Kuni Dorn when they won their matches 8-5 and 8-4, respectively.
The KU tennis team is now 6-0 in dual play when they win the doubles point.
"The score shows 5-2, but I don't feel it was an easy win," Horvath said. "We definitely had to win the doubles point to make it easier, but I feel like everyone played pretty good."
Entering the singles round with a one-point advantage from the doubles round, the Jayhawks won four of six matches when Siviston, playing at the No. 3 spot, Martinez, Morozova and Wilbert all defeated their opponents in
straight sets.
With the dual match already decided, Horvath, playing at the No. 1 position, and Dorn each took their matches to three-set tiebreakers; however, both players lost 10-7 in the third set.
Wilbert was the first to win her singles match, which has been a familiar sight at KU matches this season, but she warns not to read too much into it.
"Playing in the No. 6 position, just because I finish first, doesn't necessarily mean anything. All the other girls are playing girls that are higher up in the line-up," Wilbert said.
In general, the better player plays at
"It feels good to be a freshman and to be winning," Wilbert said, "I hope I can keep it up when I'm a sophomore."
Horvath knows the difficulty of playing at the No. 1 position.
"It's so hard to play No. 1. It's so tough. You have to compete for every single ball so hard."
She has a record of 2-12 this season at that spot, playing some of the top-ranked players in the nation, and she has a season record of 3-2 at the No. 2 position.
better players play at higher positions on the lineup, but all season Wilbert has shown that she deserves to be mentioned among Kansas' better players.
EDINA HORVATH Senior
"It's so hard to play No. 1. It’s so tough." Horvath said. "You have to compete for every single ball so hard. At No. 1 spot, no one is playing bad, so it’s really tough to win a set."

Phillies beat Braves 12-11, receive World Series rings
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — First, they got their bling. Then, they got their first win.
Four Phillies walked with the bases loaded during an eight-run seventh inning and Philadelphia rallied for a 12-11 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.
Raul Ibanez hit a two-run homer, helping the defending World Series champions overcome a 10-3 deficit and avoid a three-game sweep on the day they received their shiny new rings.
"We played 2/5 games where we hadn't done much right, but we
came back and got them," manager Charlie Manuel said.
Brian McCann and Jordan Schafer hit two-run homers for the Braves, and Javier Vazquez left with a seven-run lead after pitching six effective innings in his first start with his new team.
But the Phillies rallied against Atlanta's bulpen in the seventh. Eric O'Flaherty got one out before Chase Utley singled and Ryan Howard was hit by a pitch.
Peter Moylan came in and walked Jayson Werth to load the bases. Ibanez and Pedro Feliz hit consecutive RBI singles to cut it to 10-5.
Then, three straight batters
walked to force in runs. Moylan walked pinch-hitter Matt Stairs. Blaine Boyer (0-1) walked pinch-hitter Chris Coste and Jimmy Rollins. Jorge Campillo replaced Boyer and Shane Victorino singled in another run to get the Phillies to 10-9. Campillo then walked in Utley to force home the tving run.
Howard's slow grounder to first base brought in Rollins and gave the Phillies their first lead of the season. 11-10.
"This club, we never feel like we're out of a game," Ibanez said. "We certainly felt we can come back if we put good at-bats together."
Pinch-hitter Eric Bruntlett's sac
rifice fly in the eighth provided an important insurance run. Matt Diaz homered off Brad Lidge with one out in the ninth to get the Braves within a run, but Lidge retired the next two batters to end it.
"I've never seen anything like it," Braves manager Bobby Cox said of the bullpen's meltdown. "I've seen a couple walk-ins, but never like that."
Clay Condrey (1-0) struck out the only batter he faced to earn the win. Ryan Madson retired the side in the eighth and Lidge earned his 52nd consecutive save, including seven in the postseason and three dating to 2007 with Houston.
During a lengthy pregame cer
emony, the Phillies received their championship rings. They are made of 14-karat white gold featuring 103 diamonds totaling 3.84 carats.
Watching the festivities seemed to inspire the Braves. They jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first for the third straight game and kept piling on.
Chipper Jones and Garret Anderson were late scratches, forcing Cox to juggle his batting order twice. Jones has a bruised left thumb and Anderson tweaked his right calf.
Joe Blanton got roughed up by Atlanta's makeshift lineup. He gave up seven runs and nine hits in three
innings but avoided losing for the first time since joining the Phillies last July 17. Blanton was 4-0 in 13 starts after Philadelphia got him in a trade with Oakland. He was 1-0 in two postseason starts.
McCann's two-out shot to right gave Atlanta a 2-0 lead. McCann also hit a two-run homer in the first off Brett Myers on opening night. Ibanez hit Philadelphia's first homer, connecting in the second to tie it at 2.
Atlanta broke it open with five runs in the third. McCann had an RBI single and left Francoeur drove in two runs with a single. Diaz hit a two-run double to left for a 7-2 lead.

BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)

lowa freshman catcher Dallas Burke tags Jayhawk sophomore Greg Herbst during the first inning on Wednesday at Duane Banks Field. Herbst had tow hits in Kansas' 9-3 victory.
"He got that clutch base hit yesterday and follows it up today with a two-run single in the first," coach Ritch Price said. "It shows he's making progress and it shows he's getting closer to helping us on the weekend."
After coming off a game in which Kansas scored on five runs on 17 hits on Tuesday, it increased its production by four runs with only three fewer hits on Wednesday. Elgie finally saw some other Jayhawks join in on the fun with six other players having at least one RBI.
Sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson provided the power again for Kansas. His team-leading ninth home run in the top of the ninth punctuated what was a successful series sweep and provided a much needed jolt in the Jayhawk lineup. On Tuesday, all 16 of Kansas' hits were singles. While they only managed three extra-base hits on Wednesday, Thompsons long drive was a sight for sore eyes. Specifically, Price's eves.
"I don't remember the last time I saw 16 singles in one game."
Price said. "It was nice to see him drive a ball the other way."
The nine runs were plenty for junior right-hander Brett Bollman. After not starting a single game in his career for Kansas, Bollman picked up his fourth win as a midweek starter. It wasn't pretty as Bollman had to work around the seven hits he allowed in the five innings.
"He's done a nice job," Price said. "I was pleased he was able to find himself and get to the fourth and fifth."
But with senior first baseman Preston Land getting a rest for this week and his season going back and forth between good and bad stretches, Elgie was glad to have perhaps gotten over his freshman hump with more playing time on the way.
“At first, even in the fall, it was a lot more swings that I was used to each day.” Elgie said. “I was a little tired before we even started the games. I've gotten used to that and starting to feel a lot more comfortable.”

Baltimore Orioles win against NY Yankees 7-5
Markakis goes 3-for-3 with homer,RBIs; Uehara gives up hits in major league debut
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Baltimore improved to 2-0
BALTIMORE — Koji Uehara allowed one run over five innings in his major league debut. Nick Markakis went 3-for-3 with a homer and three RBIs, and the Baltimore Orioles beat Chien-Ming Wang and the New York Yankees 7-5 Wednesday night.
with its second straight win over *the Yankees.
Uehara, the first Japanese-born pitcher in Orioles history, gave up five hits and a walk before leaving with a 7-1 lead.
Signed to a two-year, $10 million contract in January, Uehara (1-0) dominated the Yankees in much the same fashion he ruled the Japanese League for 10 seasons with the Yomiuri Giants.
This was the first time in nine starts since Sept. 15,2007, in Boston that the New York Yankees' ChienMing Wang lost on the road.
The Orioles provided the right-hander with plenty of offensive support, all of it against Wang (0-1).
Making his first start since last June after missing the latter half of the season with a foot injury, Wang yielded seven runs and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings.
A two-run homer by Derek Jeter got New York to 7-4 in the ninth, and Mark Teixeira greeted George Sherrill with an RBI double to bring the tying run to the plate. Sherrill then retired Hideki Matsui on a popup to earn his first save.
After losing the first two games of the series by a combined 17-10 score, the Yankees -- who own baseball's highest 2009 payroll at $201 million -- will turn to newcomer A.J. Burnett on Thursday to avoid a three-game sweep against a team that last year lost 93 games and finished in the AL East cellar.
New York's offseason spending spree has yet to provide the desired results. CC Sabathia ($161 million contract) took the loss in the opener, and Teixeira ($180 million) went 1-for-5 Wednesday and is 1-for-9 in two games.
Although the crowd of 22,856 was less than half the opening-day sellout, most in attendance continued the practice of booing Teixeira during every at-
bat because the hometown player spurned the Orioles to sign with New York.
Baltimore sent nine hitters to the plate during a five-run fourth inning that made it 7-1. Gregg Zaun doubled in a run
and Cesar Izturis hit an RBI grounder before Adam Jones added a sacrifice fly. Markakis then chased Wang with a two-run hunter to right.
It was Wang's shortest start since going 2 and 2/3 innings against Toronto in August 2007. It was also the first time in nine starts since Sept.15, 2007, in Boston that Wang lost on the road.
The Orioles used successive doubles by Jones, Markakis and Aubrey Huff to take a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
The damage might have been more severe if Huff didn't get caught trying to steal third before Melvin Mora got Baltimore's fourth straight hit, a single off the glove of shortstop Derek Jeter.
The Yankees had a runner in each of the first three innings before finally breaking through in the fourth on a two-out single by Xavier Nady and Cody Ransom's RBI double off the center-field wall.

New York added a run against Matt Albers in the sixth on doubles by Jorge Posada and Robinson Cano.

day since his father was killed in a car accident.
"I don't think about all that." Morales said. "I try to do my job. It's not my decision, you know. I've got to go down and keep pitching."
Morales allowed one run and four hits, struck out six and walked one. After the game, he said his performance came 18 years to the
But as had been determined before the game, Morales was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs to make room for right-hander Jason Hammel, acquired Sunday in a trade with Tampa Bay.

Stewart also singled in a run. Ryan Spillborghs had a two-run double in Colorado's three-run third
After homering five times in their 9-8 season-opening victory on Monday, the Diamondbacks scored two runs in two games against the Rockies, who were 3-15 against Arizona last season.
"The last two games we were able to make some adjustments," Hurdle said. "We gave up two runs in 18 innings against a club that had their way with us last season."
Stephen Drew had a solo homer for the Diamondbacks in the first.
"It's frustrating to lose two out of three at home." Drew said, "but we're going to look forward to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, take tomorrow off to think about some

"Nobody even thought wed get this far when we started losing games we shouldn't have lost," Morris said moments after Kansas' 75-71 loss to South Florida in the WNIT championship. "Then, we went on that stretch but we didn't make it to the NCAA tournament. And then nobody knew how farwed go in this tournament. Yeah, it sucks we lost the championship and yeah it's going to hurt for a while. But look how far we came."

Experience, something the Jayhawks lacked in the past, will serve as one of Kansas' greatest strengths after playing meaningful games into April this year.
That finish, along with the fact that Kansas returns four of five starters, including their top eight scorers, leaves Henrickson and her players eagerly optimistic for next season.
"We got the most bang out of our buck so to speak in the WNIT," Henrickson said. "That run in February created a lot of momentum through March and into April."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL SEASON IN REVIEW
The Kansan's 2008-2009 report card
BY JAYSON JENKS
A
PETER CAMPBELL
Danielle McCray, junior forward
A-
McCray entered the year as Kansas' best offensive player, but early in conference play she struggled. Over the course of the season, though, McCray developed into one of the most prolific scorers in the Big 12. Down the stretch — and the season, for that matter — McCray hit big shot after big shot. And, on top of that, McCray led Kansas in almost every major statistic. When her career is done, she'll find herself as one of the top scorers in Kansas women's basketball history.
I
Sade Morris, junior guard
B
Morris suffered an injury early during Big 12 play, forcing her to miss three and a half games. Even after returning to the lineup, Morris took time to work back into the flow of the game. But in their run late in the season, Morris provided the Jayhawks and McCray with the perfect secondary scoring option. She couldn't have played much better down the stretch.
B
Ivana Catic, senior guard
For much of the nonconference season, Catic served as Kansas' backup point guard. But on Dec. 31 against Houston, Catic entered the starting lineup and never back, Coach Bonnie Henrickson placed the responsibility of running Kansas' complex offense on Catic. The senior did just that, while providing a much-needed calming presence.
10
Nicollette Smith, sophomore forward
B
FAIRBANK
TIGERS
Smith entered the starting lineup only after an injury forced her to do so. Once viewed as solely a three-point specialist, Smith took great strides to develop a more well-rounded game. There's little doubt that she struggled with her shot, especially late in the season, but she provided Kansas with a hard-nosed post defender and a vocal leader that Henrickson's team desperately needed.
B-
Aishah Sutherland, freshman forward
The sheer athleticism Sutherland possesses is game changing. But, for a variety of reasons, Sutherland hardly played at the beginning of the season. But as her practice habits improved, and her ability to influence a game became more apparent, Sutherland developed into one of Kansas' most dependable players late. She averaged 7.5 points and 5.7 rebounds after the start of Big 12 play and only progressed as the season wore on.
M.
Krysten Boogaard, sophomore center
This season was marked by a series of ups (back-to-back 20-point games in December) and downs (four points in a loss to Oklahoma) for Boogaard. But in Kansas' last three games, Boogaard materialized into a dependable post player. She averaged 13 points and 7.3 rebounds in that span. Now, the key will be to develop consistency.
C
Amy Thomas
LaChelda Jacobs, junior guard
Jacobs started the year as Kansas' starting point guard but relinquished the role because she committed too many turnovers. And that may have been the best thing that happened to her. Jacobs was the Jayhawks' first guard off the bench and became much more dependable. As good at getting the basket as most guards in the Big 12, Jacobs must work on finishing around the rim.
C-
Kelly Kohn, junior guard
C-
Kohn played rather significant minutes in the nonconference season but struggled in matchups with more athletic teams. The result? She played just 11 minutes in Kansas' final eight games. Her ability to shoot and her energy could make Kohn an important piece off Kansas' bench next season, but she must find a way to create shots and scoring opportunities to continue seeing playing time.
Mrs. Nina Chikwana Mbuko
B+
Porscha Weddington, junior forward
Weddington opened the season in the starting lineup before moving to the bench because she struggled with consistency. Then she played only a handful of minutes in the middle of conference play. True, Weddinton must become a better finisher. But, more importantly, she must develop into an aggressive rebounder for Kansas next season. That wasn't always evident this year.
Dorothy
Coaching
Sure, Kansas could have started better in conference play. And sure, the Jayhawks appeared rather uninspired at times early in the season. But coach Bonnie Henrickson and her staff got this team to improve late, and that can be a very difficult task. At the end of the season, the Jayhawks were as good as any队 in the Big 12 (except for Oklahoma). Henrickson continued to push this team and the players never stopped listening. The reward was 16,113 fans in attendance to watch the WNIT championship game.
MASTERS
Some say Augusta National too tough
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The azaleas are brighter than ever. As usual, not a blade of grass is out of place. Anticipation is higher than it has been in years at the Masters, with Tiger Woods a winner again after knee surgery and Padraig Harrington going for a third straight major.
But the buzz at Augusta National has been tempered by three years of more teeth-gnashing than fist-pumping.
Players are becoming more vocal in their criticism of a course that has produced so much excitement from so many charges over the

years. They say it has become too long, too tough.
"Criticism hurts a little bit," Payne said Wednesday. "It's like when you go to a piano recital of one of your granddaughters and you hear somebody say, 'Boy, that's the worst kid I've ever seen.' It hurts your feelings."
The cathedral of golf is starting to remind Masters chairman Billy Payne of a concert.
The club also enlarged the tee boxes on the par-4 seventh and par-5 15th, allowing officials to move the tees a little more forward to make the hole play slightly shorter.
Payne responded by making the course shorter — by 10 vards.

Otherwise, a club that tries to
"This week is an important test," Payne said. "Since the most recent, substantial changes to the course in 2006, we have not had good weather over the weekend. The players have not, in fact, had the opportunity to demonstrate their skills against the competitive test of the course. It looks like we are going to have some pretty good weather this weekend."
Spring felt like winter two years ago when Zach Johnson became the first Masters champion in more than 50 years to finish over par. A year ago, whipping wind sent Trevor Immelman to a 75, matching the highest final round by a winner.
grass. Turns out there was a frost delay, although sunshine warmed the course considerably in the afternoon, and it is supposed to get better for the next four days.
It sure hasn't started out that way.
Jim Furyk was among the first on the driving range Wednesday morning, and as he walked to the first tee, he was taken aback when a security guard told him he was not allowed to walk on the
Will that be all it takes to bring the roars back to Augusta National? To restore hope that someone who is three shots behind going to the back nine on Sunday still has a chance to win?
Tiger Woods isn't so sure.
"The golf course has changed quite a bit," he said. "Your strategy has changed. You don't go out there looking to shoot super-low rounds because they are not out there anymore, especially with these conditions that we've had the last two years."
How much has it changed?
Woods has been a runner-up the last two years and has broken par only twice, with just one of those rounds in the 60s.
But it's more than the 510 yards that were added to the course since Woods captured his first green jacket in 1997.
awards
PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
Junior forward
Danielle McCray
This should come as no surprise. McCray led Kansas in points, rebounds, steals and blocks, while piecing together big game after big game of- densely. But more important - and less quantitative - is this: McCray carried the Jayhawks late in the season and hit countless big shots.
BEST STORYLINE:
Catic started the season coming off the bench, a reserve point guard who played to give junior guard LaCahelda Jacobs a brief rest. But as the season progressed, Catic entered the starting lineup and became the conductor of Kansas' offense. Plus, after a long four years in a losing program, seeing Catic's ear-to-ear smile as she ran onto the court in front of 16,000 fans was priceless.
MOST IMPROVED PLAYER:
Sophomore forward
Nicollette Smith
Smith entered the season as a three-point shooter off the bench. Then, after injuries forced her into the starting lineup, Smith reworked her game to become a hard-nosed post defender and Kansas' most vocal player on the court.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
Junior guard Sade Morris.
ENVISION
Siler-Porte
Throughout the season, Morris found herself guarding an opponent's best offensive player. The fact that Morris was also expected to score on offense makes her stingy defensive efforts more impressive.

Clutch single prevents Kansas from being swept
Jayhawks drop first game 4-0 before 2-1 comeback victory
KANSAS KANSAS 4
Junior pitcher Sarah Vertelkela celebrates with sophomore shortstop Kolby Fesmire and senior third baseman Val Chapple after a strikeout during Wednesday's game at Arrocha Ballpark. Kansas split its double header with Nebraska Wednesday, losing the first, and winning the second game.
BY BEN WARD

Jenny Terrell/KANSAN
A week removed from its walk-off victory against Missouri, Kansas was at it again.
After being kept off of the scoreboard all afternoon, Kansas mounted a furious rally to earn a split of Wednesday's doubleheader against Nebraska at Arrocha Ballpark.
Down 1-0 in the bottom of the seventh, the Jayhawks loaded the bases, bringing senior catcher Elle Pottoff to the plate. Pottoff delivered, smacking a single into center field which plated two runs, giving Kansas the 2-1 comeback victory.
"That was a huge hit for Elle and a huge hit for the team," coach Tracy Bunge said. "You love to see seniors come up in big moments, and she came up huge. We really needed this win."
The victory was indeed a must-have for the Jayhawks, who were only three outs away from being swept by the Cornhuskers.
In game one, Nebraska batters made the most of their eight hits, chipping away at junior pitcher Sarah Vertelka for four runs.
On the other side of the ball, senior pitcher Molly Hill stifled the Jayhawk bats. Hill allowed only two hits to preserve the 4-0 victory for the Cornhuskers
and earn her sixteenth win of the year.
LINE SCORE
Game 1:
Nebraska 4, Kansas 0
WP — Hill (16-7)
LP — Vertelka (5-6)
Game 1:
Game 2:
Kansas 2, Nebraska 1
WP — George (8-11)
LP — Hagemann (6-4)
"Hill has really figured out how to get kids out," Bunge said. "She doesn't make many mistakes over the plate, but she gave us some chances out there that we should have capitalized on."
Kansas certainly had its share of chances to get on the board, but left five runners on base and failed to take advantage of three Cornhusker errors.
But with a final chance in the seventh inning, Kansas got the one big hit it needed.
was the effort from senior pitcher Valerie George, George, who had lost her last five decisions, bounced back with seven strong innings, allowing only one run on five hits. Her effort drew high praise from her coach.
"That was a great outing from George," Bunge said. "She's been hurting recently, but she toughed it out and kept us in the game."
"It was about time," Pottorf said. "We had seen her for thirteen plus innings so we just made the adjustments we needed to."
Hill returned to the circle
for game two, and, predictably, Kansas' struggles seemed to carry over as they stranded eight more runners on base.
Nebraska, Kansas now sits at 13-22 overall and 3-5 in the crowded Big 12 Conference. The Jayhawks hope to get a boost from their victory with No. 11 Oklahoma coming to town for a series this weekend.
"It was a huge win," George said. "Hopefully it gives us some momentum for OU."

After getting used to my Twitter account, it didn't seem so bad anymore—Twitter was just a way to communicate ideas and post links to interesting articles and videos. Twitter was a way to be in touch with anyone on the planet you wouldn't normally be in touch with—on any given day, I can probably tell you what avid Twitter users Lily Allen and Shaquille O'Neal are doing. Plus I hardly log on to Facebook anymore—short, to-the-point Twitter messages are a lot easier on the eyes, to say the least.
When I first heard about the website Twitter—a social-networking medium that allows users to update their

Then one of my professors devoted an entire lecture in our online media class to Twitter. Classmates eagerly opened their Web browsers and quickly clicked over to www.twitter.com to ironically update their statuses about class. If there were any time to be on Twitter during class, that was it.
A few weeks later, when I found out I had been waitlisted for an internship with ASME, the American Society of Magazine Editors, for the summer; I turned to Twitter to see if anyone else who uses the social-networking website had been waitlisted, too. Streams of updates filled my iPod screen.
And if you've been a Twitter user for quite some time, or become a user soon, log on and follow Jayplay's very own Twitter account, jayplaymagazine. Who knows—the username may come in handy when you "tweet" about our story later.

Q&A
Vince DiFiore of CAKE
Contributed photo
With radio singles including "The Distance" and "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" and six studio albums, CAKE remains a force in popular music. Vince DiFiore has played trumpet, keys and auxiliary percussion with CAKE from the band's formation in 1991. He spoke with Jayplay about the band, his college experience and their new solar-powered off-the-grid studio.
CAKE is playing at the Crossroads KC at Grinders in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 2. General admission tickets are $30 and doors open at 7 p.m.

CAKE consists of Vince DiFiore, John McCrea, Xan McCurdy and Paulo Baldi. The band is playing at the Crossroads KC at Grinders in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 2.
What were you like in college?
I had a really good experience. I went to UCLA. It was sort of a media center of the world there.
All sorts of bands coming through campus for concerts at noon, always showing a lot of movies on campus at night and it was close to the downtown art museum, so I'd take trips on the weekend to some of those, like the L.A. County Museum of Art.
I didn't play trumpet when I was there, was just studying psychology and took up guitar and harmonica as a way to keep musical.
Whatwasyourbestorfunniest experience in college?
I keep thinking of all sorts of mishaps. (Laughs) I don't know if those are really crazy good things. I don't want to sound like a bad drug story or anything. (Laughs)

There is a way to describe college, like the time I passed out in Venice Beach and woke up with total amnesia.
Things were really pretty normal. I was just trying to find an identity like everyone else. That's the tough part of that college age. If you haven't picked something that you really want to do when you're 18 ... you haven't been set on a real course.
I went as far as I could with that and luckily the band had taken off and I chose to really pursue music.
So that's really what I remember most from college is struggling for an identity and a path and then choosing one, and then all of a sudden making my personality fit with what I chose which was psychology.
What are some of the stresses that come with doing this as a job?
The five guys of the band got together and made music that people wanted to listen to at that time. Then there's the pressure of repeating that. Every record has to be a little bit better than the last so that it still perks up people's ears, something that is exciting and interesting to people. That's probably the biggest thing. And then also getting along, too.
That there are other people who might challenge you in your workplace, or there are certain things that are expected of you—I think it happens to a lot of musicians. They lose sight of what it means to cooperate with other people and learn how to get along and not let testosterone get the best of you.
We're all in a small room working together, in the studio together, and we have to get along. So that's a constant challenge is just being polite to each other and being assertive in what we
We wanted to do something that would make us more current with all of the energy problems that we're having. Get something that would make us feel better about our own energy consumption. We're so aware of everything that's happening. You really have to do something to feel like you're moving in the right direction. Though we are still consumers of energy and other things, it did feel good to do something that was right and help in some way.
It makes us feel a little more free in the studio. You don't have that general free-floating anxiety that you sometimes feel when you're in a building using up energy. It's good.
want, in what we want individually, creatively, but then also having enough objectivity to get along with each other and make the right decisions together as a group.
Electricity is so tied into what we're doing there—with recording music and using electric instruments. It's been pretty cool—it looks sharp, too. It's definitely not an eyesore; it's a sweet thing. We have a video up on our website of the whole process of installing it also.
You overhauled your music studio to run on solar power. Why build an off-the-grid studio?
It's a simple thing that people can do. It's a good stage prop. It enables good discussion between (lead singer) John and the audience. We always have some trivia question, and give away T-shirts, but giving away a tree is always more exciting.
People send photos of themselves into the website and there's a picture of them with their newly planted tree on the news section of our website. It's been a fun thing about the computer revolution.
You guys give away a tree at every show, so does that tie into all this?

The simplistically designed social medium Twitter answers more questions than, 'What are you doing?'
By Madeline Hyden mhyden@kansan.com
A large group of people is sitting in a bar. Casual conversation flows over pitchers of beer and, every now and then, people glance at their cell phones or send a text.A pretty standard picture for a low-key bar night, except these people are all connected through updates of each other's lives. They follow each other on Twitter.com and they mingle at a monthly tweetup—and this is the scene of a local tweetup at Jo Shmo's, 724 Massachusetts Street, on March 24.
Perhaps you've been an avid Twitter user for years, or maybe you just want to know what all the fuss is about. Either way, Twitter is slowly joining Facebook as another major social-networking site. A hybrid between Facebook status updates and blogs, Twitter allows users to give quick 140-character updates, or "tweets," about what they're doing, post interesting links, or respond to someone else's tweets.
Phil Martinez, Lawrence resident and KU alumnus, says the simplicity of Twitter makes it worth it.
"I don't want to look at pictures or interests or whatever," he says. "I just want a short answer about what's going on with people. Facebook takes the fun out of that."
Martinez, who uses Twitter via text messaging, says that unlike other social-networking sites, Twitter allows users to specialize the groups of people they follow, or "friend," which creates a much smaller network online.
Though Twitter offers a relatively small community, the number of users is growing rapidly. Nielsen Media Research reported that Twitter has now surpassed Facebook and others to become the fastest-growing site in the "Member Communities" category for February.Twitter increased 1,372 percent in one year with 475,000 unique visitors in February 2008 to 7 million in February 2009. These figures represent only usage on Twitter. com and do not count the dozens of Twitter applications for cell phones and computers.
Unlike Facebook status updates, tweets do not require logging on to the Internet. After setting up a Twitter account, users can select whether they want to activate their tweets on their cell phones and send and receive tweets through text messaging, which makes connecting to others even faster.
Businesses and organizations are not holding back from jumping on the Twitter bandwagon, either. Twitter is a great avenue for free advertising and an easy way to connect with their customers. The Los Angeles Fire Department uses it to alert communities about fires in the area. Zappos.com requires all 252 members of its staff to have a Twitter account and employees use their tweets to get feedback from customers. Martha Stewart posts tweets about craft ideas and what her pets are doing. Ellen DeGeneres tweets about upcoming guests on her show and about her wife.
Local Burger, 714 Vermont Street, uses Twitter to promote specials and post links to articles pertaining to their business. Southwest Airlines posts ticket specials, flight delays and travel advisories and uses the site as a medium for customers to file complaints.
Leo Hayden, a Lawrence resident and artist, uses Twitter for social and professional purposes. He uses tweets to keep in touch with friends, but also to promote his paintings by linking to video slideshows of his painting processes. He also appreciates the simplicity of the Twitter interface, compared to other websites.
"I compare sites like MySpace to Hollywood: all glitter and special effects. With Twitter, you have 140 characters to say something, so you actually have to say something—there's not anything blinking at you," he says.
Another major difference between Twitter and other websites such as Facebook or MySpace is that many members of Twitter communities meet in person. Local tweetups are gaining popularity across the country and people become real-life friends with those they follow on Twitter.
"If I'm walking down the street on my way to a bar or restaurant, I can just send a quick Twitter update to let people know where I am. People will reply quickly and we'll meet up for lunch," Smith says.
Ben Smith, Lawrence resident and founder of Lawrence tweetups, regularly spends time with those he follows on Twitter.
"I had never met those people in my life, but it wasn't awkward at all," he says.
Chris Thomas, Lawrence resident, was on vacation in Florida when he sent out a casual tweet to meet new people while he was there. Several people in the area responded and they all met for drinks.
But the appeal of Twitter reaches further than just talking about what you are doing. Nancy Baym, associate professor of communication studies, says Twitter gives a unique sense of recognition and attention by putting every move or thought on the Internet.
"People have used the phrase 'ambient intimacy' to describe Twitter," she says. "It gives you a certain sense that you have all of your friends around, plus the opportunity to meet new people. It's kind of like being in a super sociable hallway where lots of people are walking by and chatting to each other, but you can do it on the margins of what you're doing anyway."
So what makes a good tweet? Briana Saunders, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, senior, says including a link to an article or picture, posting something funny, or asking a question makes a good tweet. Saunders manages the Twitter account for Student Union Activities and gets paid to blog about Twitter for her brother's social media website, in addition to tweeting for social purposes.
"I tweet while I'm walking to class, listening to my iPod, in between sending texts," she says. "Everyone's going to have a Twitter soon, just like everyone has a Facebook."

Bitch&
E
with Carly Halvorson and Elliot Kort
So, my girlfriend's a coffee addict. She drinks the stuff constantly. That's not what bothers me. What bugs me is that when she's not on campus, she goes solely to a coffee house where (wait for it) her ex is a barista. He's there all the time. How should I feel about this?
Tim, senior
contact
Carly: I can't tell you how you should feel, but I can already tell how you really do feel—you're bothered by it. That's understandable. Before you get too upset and say something to her about it, take some things into consideration. For example: Who initiated the breakup, and on what terms? I think it's possible for exes to be friends—or at least on friendly terms. I know very little about coffee, but all of my friends who claim to be coffee addicts have their preferred coffee shop. Give your girlfriend the benefit of the doubt; maybe she visits that particular coffee shop because of the coffee and not the ex. If it really bothers you, ask to go with her sometime and gauge her reaction. I'd be suspicious if she says no, but don't worry about it if she has no problem with you coming along.
**Elliot:** Tim, I hear you. I feel your pain. People can have paranoia concerning their significant other's exes. We wonder how we measure up. We worry that said ex has an agenda. And because we worry about all of these things, we end up sabotaging ourselves. So, like Carly said, I can't tell you how to feel about it. However, I can remind you that many logical people have been rendered utterly illogical by letting their hearts' do most of the "thinking." So here's what you do: go with your gal to her favorite spot. Right when a lump of suspicion begins to rise in your throat, remind yourself that she's
there ... in his place of business ... with you. You have nothing to worry about. Just try to keep yourself from over thinking. It'll save you a lot of heartache and worry. Plus, you could get a genuinely tasty beverage out of the deal.
I went on a date with someone I met out at a bar, and I had a great time. My problem is that he's older considerably older. I'm 21, and he's 34. Should I just quit now?
Elizabeth, junior
Carly: My first reaction when I read that was, "Oh damn." To be totally honest, I would stop seeing him as soon as possible. You haven't even finished college yet, and he's at the age where he's probably looking to settle down and create a stable life. My mom is a big advocate of not tying yourself down when you're young. If I came to her with this problem, she'd tell me to stop dating him and go have some fun with some people closer to my age. Well, first she would ask what the hell I was thinking, and then she'd tell me that. But I digress. My point is that you need to be with people who are going through the same experiences that you are—at the same time. Do you really want to hear, "When I was your age ... " from your boyfriend? That's the kind of thing your parents and older relatives say.
**Elliot:** What I'm about to say will seem very at odds with my position as an advice columnist. You've been warned. Here goes nothing: Why do you care what I have to say? Why do you care what anyone else has to say? You had a great time with this guy. That's the important thing. If he makes you happy, the unconventional nature of your relationship becomes an inconsequential point. Certainly, from your letter, it seems as though you're skeptical. Sure, it might take some getting used to. But at this point, you're an adult. You get to act like one and choose how to live your own life.

How We Met
After accompanying one another on countless all-night homework sessions, the two began to develop a mutual crush. But both were discouraged after series of missed signals and dropped cues. Finally, in Spring 2007, Elon decided to make his move. With the prospect of leaving Lawrence permanently and going to the Chicago Institute of Art, he considered his options.
For some, romance is quick, and ascends in a rush. For others, it makes sense to take more time. For Mary Ralstin, Shawnee alumna, and Elon Sharton-Bierig, Deerfield, Illinois, senior, the process of arriving at courtship took years.
The two were introduced in Fall 2004, during Elon's freshman and Mary's sophomore year. After that, they fell off of each other's radar until she returned from studying abroad the following year. As they both spent a lot of time hanging out in Hashinger Hall, the two found themselves in mutual company often, though their chemistry did not immediately click.
"We had a ton of mutual friends from Hash," Mary says. "So it wasn't just the two of us alone."

Tick tock: Mary Ralstin and Elon Sharton-Bierig didn't exactly rush into each other's arms when they first met, but after three years, they fell for each other.
"I'd really lost hope at one point," he says. But even in the face of this challenge, he asked her out anyway.
"I was like,'OK ... if you come back," Mary says.
Elon spent the next frzenied summer putting together a portfolio but forgetting to obtain all the required letters of recommendation. In retrospect, he thinks he subconsciously sabotaged himself so that he could return to Lawrence and give the delayed romance a shot. Their first date was in Fall 2007 and the two are planning to move in together next fall. For them, it was just a matter of time.

RELATIONSHIP HISTORY OF CIVILISM
IN THE 19TH CENTURY, CIVILISM REFERRED TO A LANGUAGE
STUDIO AND BROADCASTING. IT WAS USED BY THE
FAMOUS MUSICIAN JEAN ROUGEAU FOR A COLLECTION
OF ROMANTIC AND HORRIBLE MATERIALS.
THE HISTORY OF CIVILISM IS A CONCERNED AND VARIED
SYSTEM OF RECOGNITION, WITH INCREASES AND DECREases.
IT HAS BEEN A THREATING FACTURE WHICH HAS
ABOUTLY EQUIPPED THE FOLKS OF CIVILISM WITH
CONSERVATION AND CONTROL OF CRIME.
Some people with OCD have the urge for many aspects in their lives, such as their schoolwork, to be perfect. If they do not feel they have reached what they see as "perfect," they may erase or redo the work until it is to their satisfaction.
But for some of us, the difficulty reaches much further than memorizing definitions. When I was in high school, taking a test only heightened the probability I'd feel compelled to enact one of my repetitious rituals.
If I had a distressing thought while trying to answer an essay question, I'd carefully erase every word I'd written and redo my work. It was the only way to ease the pain of my troublesome thoughts and sufficiently "clear" my mind. This seemingly dumb practice was just one of the many "rituals" helping me to survive each day.
My world history teacher once suggested to my class I might be cheating when he caught me reaching into my bag.Anxiety-ridden, full of self-doubt and sufficiently embarrassed, I held up the tattered end of my pencil where the eraser had been. Apparently this was enough for him because 'he returned to his desk without uttering another word. Thank God, I thought—I don't have to tell him the truth about my need to erase and then rewrite my work.
I have always been good at disguising my problem because I never wanted anyone to know. To me, I was a freak trapped in an otherwise normal society, and I was the only one of my kind.
The truth is, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. I was diagnosed when I was 17. I'm not "OCD about this or that" as many people profess about habits they have. I am one of the estimated 5 to 7 million Americans battling obsessive-compulsive disorder every day.
What is OCD?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or "the doubting disease," is a neurobiological anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive and distressing thoughts and the repetitive
rituals aimed at dislodging those unwanted deliberations, says Dr. Lisa Hale, founder and director of the Kansas City Center for Anxiety Treatment in Shawnee Mission. Many illnesses categorized as psychiatric disorders are neurobiological, or an illness of the nervous system, including autism, bipolar disorder and OCD.
No specific genes for OCD have been discovered, but research suggests genes play a role in the development of the disorder. The risk that a child will develop OCD slightly increases when a parent has OCD, yet the risk is still low. When OCD runs in families, it is the general nature of OCD that is inherited, not specific symptoms, according to www.ocfoundation.org. This is apparent in my family—I have a constant urge to check and recheck while my mom compulsively organizes. Finding something in my parent's house is never a problem considering my mom's affinity for her label maker and my constant verification everything is in its place. But does the deodorant underneath my dad's sink really need its spot labeled? I don't think my dad will mistakenly rub the mouthwash underneath his pits anytime soon.
Despite a recent growth in OCD research, the specific cause has not been proven. Many studies suggest OCD involves miscommunication between the front of the brain and deeper structures. These structures use serotonin, a chemical messenger that plays a role in the regulation of mood, sleep, learning and constriction of blood vessels. It is believed insufficient levels of serotonin could be involved in OCD, Hale says.
The origins of this disorder are typically viewed as genetic in that certain individuals may experience OCD without any conceivable environmental triggers. However, it is likely that OCD may result from a variety of exposures to stress and/or trauma without a genetic
component, says Ed Bloch, a licensed specialist clinical social worker and co-owner of The Life Enrichment Center in Lawrence.
The bottom line is the root of OCD has yet to be found.
OCD touches every segment of society for people with the disorder and I am a card-carrying member of this diverse group of people. OK, so we don't carry cards, but each member of this cluster constantly works to overcome an equally diverse combination of obsessions and compulsions on a daily basis. It's probably best we don't have an ID—another thing to check and disinfect.
For those of us who suffer from OCD, life can be limited by hours of compulsive behaviors,making it difficult to find inner peace, to be productive, or simply to be happy,says Christy Olson, Lawrence,a doctoral student and research assistant who works with Hale.
"Those affected by OCD are often distressed by their symptoms because the disorder can be limiting in regards to everyday life," Olson says. "It can narrow their life and sometimes prevent them from doing the things that they want to do."
The brains of those suffering from OCD fixate on specific thoughts or urges and hold on for dear life. It's the mental equivalent of being forced to stare at hideously ugly wallpaper in a room without any reasonable exit, except instead of covering only the walls, the repulsive decor textures the entire room—the ceiling, floors and even the furniture, says Jared Kant.
coauthor of The Thought that Counts, an account of his experiences as a teenager with OCD.
OCD can present itself in different forms depending on the person.Some of the common obsessions for those suffering from OCD are the fear of contamination,the fear of harming one's self or others and preoccupations with specific numbers.
Overcoming the dirt
For some of us, the real challenge starts with the first spec of dust.
"One day I was fine and the next day I couldn't move from my bed," Kant says.
Kant's OCD first surfaced during a twoweek stay at a summer camp in Massachusetts—outdoors with dirt. His parents did not know the extent of his mental struggles, but they would soon find out.
Kant, now 26, was 11 years old when he was diagnosed with OCD. Kant's onset of OCD was quick and personally destructive like a massive tornado suddenly striking on a beautiful spring day.
"Contamination was a big thing for me and at summer camp everything is dirty." Kant says, "because obviously you're surrounded by dirt."
From the first day of camp, Kant was miserable. He had been placed in his own personal hell with the dirt acting as gasoline working to intensify the flames. Fearing the possibility of contamination from the outdoors and believing an exit from his cabin

Making something picture perfect is often on the minds of people with observive-corpus-pulsative disorder. Keeping objects in an orderly fashion is an example of the compulsive aspect of OCD.
would result in the harming of someone else, Kant retreated further into his safe place underneath the covers.
The fear of harming is a popular obsession associated with OCD. Kant truly believed that if he left his cabin he would contract a deadly disease and spread it throughout the camp.
"I went from an outgoing young kid the year before to literally being unable to set foot outside my cabin door," Kant says.
Each passing day, his symptoms grew more severe until finally one of the camp counselors approached a psychologist about his troubling behavior.
The psychologist came to Kant and helped him understand himself. Together, they went through the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale, designed to determine OCD, and Kant began to realize he wasn't the only person obsessing about his fears.
"He asked me a couple of questions and I was kind of thrown," Kant says. "You start to think you're crazy and then someone reads your mind. It was a mind-blowing experience to hear someone else say, 'You're not the only one.'"
This realization helped Kant understand himself and begin to overcome his troubling thoughts.With the help of cognitive-behavioral therapy,Kant learned to manage his obsessions. In 2006, he graduated from Curry College, in Milton, Massachusetts, at the top of his class.

Fear of contracting illness through germs is a common characteristic of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Excessive showering, bathing, toothbrushing, grooming, toilering, cleaning clothes and personal items, and avoiding "contaminated" objects and places, are other examples of compulsive habits of people with OCD.
continued from page 9
Today, Kant works as a clinical research assistant at the Massachusetts General Hospital Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Clinic & Research Unit. He frequently speaks about his battle with OCD at conferences and academic institutions across the country and he contributes to Organized Chaos, the Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation's website for teens and young adults.
Everything must be equal
For some of us, the difficulty ensues when the line is just left of center.
If the front door is not precisely flush against the frame, Kate McCormick, of Chicago, will recognize the flaw. A junior at Texas Christian University, McCormick was diagnosed with OCD when she was 12. From a picture on the wall to the arrangement of a room, everything needed to be symmetrical for her to be at ease. When her obsession overtook her life, McCormick turned to Hale of the Kansas City Center for Anxiety Treatment for guidance and learned to manage her OCD.
Walking into a room can still be difficult for McCormick because most doors never perfectly align with their frame.These imperfections eat at McCormick,but she has learned to control her impulse to obsess.
"In the past, I couldn't do anything until I figured out how to fix the door." McCormick says. "Sometimes I could simply lift or push the door back into place, but other times it would have taken much more to really fix the door."
At her own house, McCormick would take the time to correct the imperfection, getting help from her parents, but the true agony came when a friend's door wasn't ideally situated on the frame.
"If it was a quick fix, I would adjust my friend's door casually," she says, "but if it was really messed up, I'd find an excuse to leave and obsess about it in private."
At her worst, symmetry ruled McCormick's mind—everything needed to be balanced. She could never lean down to touch a table with just one hand. McCormick would methodically reach both hands out, and at precisely the same time, make contact with the flat surface below making certain the pressure was equal on each hand.
This symmetrical obsession was only half the battle for McCormick. She, like other people with OCD, had to learn to manage her compulsions. When she felt the need to slodge a thought, McCormick would find herself humming the same monotonous four-beat tune over and over until she felt comfortable. Some of the most common compulsions people with OCD face are excessive cleanliness, checking, repeating, counting and arranging.
Repetitious rituals
For some of us, peace can be found in the daily grind.
Every time Joel Thomas takes a shower he must repeat the same routine—wash hair, condition hair, wash body, wash conditioner out—or his day just isn't the same.
"Structure and organization make my life easier;" Thomas, Overland Park senior, says "Things just feel right when they are in order."
I have the same problem. If I get distracted thinking while taking a shower; I must repeat my process until I'm satisfied I've completed every step. This annoying practice has led to three separate shampoo applications during one trip to the shower on several occasions.
To most people, it makes no sense. How do I forget if I washed my hair? Well, I really don't forget washing my hair, but if there is even the slightest hint of doubt in my mind, I must repeat the process. Otherwise, my day just isn't quite right. In many ways, it is certainty that we crave.
People with OCD are aware of their
thoughts and behaviors, but the reassurance the rituals provide help ease their mind, says Bloch of the Life Enrichment Center.
The road to remission
For all of us who battle OCD, there is a light at the end of the tunnel—it's just some days it looks a little off center and needs to be wiped off.
Though there is no cure for OCD, it can be managed and overcome. The goal we all have is to find our way to remission. Like a person who has overcome alcoholism, we are always in a state of recovery—never fully healed.
The common treatment for OCD today is medication, cognitive-behavioral therapy or both, says Hale of the Kansas City Center for Anxiety Treatment. The first line of treatment for OCD is exposure-and-response therapy. It is most effective in results because it can take place outside of the therapist's office while guiding the patient through behavioral modifications, Hale says. If a patient is too paranoid to drive for fear of causing a 20-car pileup, the therapist will counsel the patient inside a car.Taking baby steps and easing into the process, the first few sessions might be conducted with the parking brake on, but slowly the patient begins to understand how exaggerated the fear is, and within weeks the patient is driving on his own. In Hale's experiences, she usually sees 70 to 90 percent symptom improvement in her patients, sometimes in just three to four weeks.
"In some ways, it is a little bit selfish because we can see people get better quickly." Hale says. "I find it very empowering to do this kind of work."
Drug treatment is another option for OCD patients. This was the choice my therapist made when I was diagnosed. The majority of drugs that help OCD are classified as antidepressants. Usually depression results from the disability OCD creates. Using medications such as Paxil,
Prozac or Zoloft, doctors can treat both the OCD and depression.
Zoloft helped reduce my obsessions and compulsions, but I didn't like the way it made me feel, so I stopped taking it after a few weeks. I assumed I would revert back to my old habits, but so far I haven't—at least not to the same extent. I have been in good remittance for a little over five years. I know there is a good chance my symptoms will come back, but I'm ready to fight them because I am more conscious of what it means to conquer my obsession about obsessing.
QUICK FACTS ABOUT OCD
1. In the United States, one in 50 adults have OCD.
2. In OCD, the brain gets stuck on a particular thought or urge and just can't let go.
3. OCD starts at any time from preschool age to adulthood (usually by 40).
4. One-third to one-half of adults report that their OCD started during childhood.
5. On average, people with OCD see three to four doctors and spend nine years seeking treatment before they receive a correct diagnosis.
6. Studies have found it takes an average of 17 years from the time OCD begins for people to obtain appropriate treatment.

This Weekend:
Walk for a cause
So, you just got done trekking around campus all week, going back and forth, up and down that one conveniently placed hill. What better way to relax this weekend than walk around the completely flat downtown area around Massachusetts Street, right? Hey, it's for a good cause.
This Saturday marks the 20th anniversary
of the Douglas County AIDS Project (DCAP), which is continuing its longest-running fundraiser, the AIDS walk. Participants can take part in either a one-mile walk or 5K run.
DCAP Executive Director Elena Ivanov says the walk raised $17,000 for DCAP last year. What makes that amount more impressive is that the walk was held on a cold April day last year when there was snow on the ground, and still 150 people participated. "I remember seeing a child in a stroller, so that was nice to see all the people that support us," Ivanov says.
Ivanov says the money raised by the walk helps fund the three areas of service provided by DCAP: case management and client care, education and prevention efforts, and free HIV testing.
breakfast at Maceli's, where the walk will begin. People who wish to participate can register online at www.douglascountyaidsproject.org , or arrive an hour before the walk, at 7:30 a.m., at Maceli's, 1031 New Hampshire Street.
Registration for the walk starts at 8:30 a.m. and is free, but Ivanov says that for a minimum donation of $20, participants will receive a free shirt and

green it! Little changes for big change
Save the environment. The world.
The animals. People.
The rhetoric surrounding environmentalism can get a little overwhelming, but going "green" doesn't have to be difficult. Little changes do make a big difference, says Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability.
"As an individual, you probably feel like, 'If I do this, it probably won't have that much of an impact,' but if it becomes a part of our culture it can be a big change." Severin says. "It's about envisioning what you want society to look like and setting an example. You don't have to recruit people to live greener, but by setting an example, you make a difference."

bottle," Severin says. Plastic is "downcycled," he says. Every time it is recycled, it goes further down the product chain until it eventually must be thrown away.
Shop at used clothing stores. "Recycling is always big on people's minds." Severin says."But we forget about the first two "R"s: reduce and reuse."
Always carry a reusable shopping bag. Reusable bags have become a common sight at grocery stores, Severin says, but people should take them everywhere.
Think before you buy. "I look at a product and think, 'What's an alternative that might take less packaging and have less of an environmental impact?'" Severin says.
Avoid plastics. Choose products that have less packaging or less plastic in their packaging. Plastics are made of petroleum, which we need for other things. Severin says.
Severin's suggestions for living a greener lifestyle are pretty common sense, but, as Severin says, the trick is following through.

A suicide prevention volunteer
Jason was freaked out to take his first suicide call.
I SEND THE DEPT TO ME
FOR A FUNDRAISING EVENT
During the intense 11-week, 60-hour training course that is required to become a volunteer at the Headquarters Counseling Center, 211 East Eighth Street, Jason says he convinced himself it was going to be the worst thing in the world to talk to somebody who has reached that point. Jason, who asked his last name remain anonymous, says he didn't have a lot of confidence that he could help.
One beat at a time: jason works as a suicide prevention volunteer and fields calls from people who need to talk.
Photo by Katherine Mulder
When he actually took his first call, he says all it took was hearing the voice of desperation to make him truly believe that what he and the rest of the 40 volunteers do
really helps. He says it comes down to human interaction—just knowing that someone is there and that someone cares.
"We both made it through the call," Jason says. "I've learned personally what it takes to engage in a crisis situation and come out the other side."
Jason says though a lot of the calls are about suicide, other calls come from people who are in a bad place in their lives, and they use headquarters as a touching stone for reassurance.
Even though he has been taking calls for a year, Jason says there is still trepidation because everyone's pain is unique.
"It is a little less of a heart attack when the phone rings," Jason says. "But you never know what is going to be on the other end of the line."
As Jason reflects on his experiences, he hopes that this doesn't diminish the struggles of the people who call. He says the reason he completes his four-hour shifts twice a week
is because he wants people to know that someone is there for another person.
"I'm not here to develop as a person," Jason says. "It is nice, I am thankful for the opportunity, but that is not why I am here. I'm here for people who call."
Jason is a KU senior studying sociology. He says this experience really personalizes what he learns in class. Jason did not learn about Headquarters from class but from his wife, who read an article in the newspaper. He and his wife both decided to volunteer. He says all volunteers rely on each other for support and so having his wife to share the experience with him has been amazing.
"Being a part of Headquarters,Headquarters has become a big part of me," says Jason.
The number for the Headquarters Counseling Center of Douglas County is 785.841.2345.

A matter of TIME
By Kelly Breckunitch kbreckunitch@kansan.com
I've come to understand the importance of my grandpa as I've grown up
This isn't my story.It's what I want my story to be, and I already know how I want it to play out because I've seen my grandpa go through it in his life.I didn't realize what my grandpa meant to me until my grandma passed away I sat in the cemetery and watched him cry silently,and I realized he was crying because a little bit of his life was gone,a life that he has always lived to the fullest.
I don't want this to sound like a cheesy, sixth-grade essay and say my grandpa is my hero—but he is my hero. He's the type of person everybody likes to be around. My mom never stops telling stories about when she was in high school. She'd go to the basketball games
and all the boys would ignore her and go hang out with my grandpa. Even to this day,he makes a point of being social, whether it's talking to everyone at a family reunion or going to card night where he lives. He's just a genuinely nice guy without even trying,and sometimes I wish being a plain old nice guy would come as easily to me.
He also has a good heart. He wouldn't lie or cheat anyone. I remember going to Long John Silver's with him and my grandma one afternoon when I was in grade school. They would only let me get water to drink with my meal, and being the spoiled little kid I was I ignored them and filled my cup with soda. My
grandpa noticed and immediately trudged back to the register, with me in tow, and paid for the soda I took. I didn't really get what the big deal was at the time, but as I grew up I began to understand how the little things could affect my character.
My grandpa has always been a hard worker, a trait I know he hasn't passed on to me. I'm lazy and put things off until the last minute. I always tried to get out of doing chores as a kid, such as mowing the lawn.
My grandpa never backed down from a task, though. He was raised on a farm with seven siblings. Once he got back from World War II, he married my grandmother and from
that day he worked all the time until he was in his 70s. Yes, he was working at the grain elevator in Wakefield when he was 70. He was always working to provide for his family. He made parts for space shuttles at a factory in California, was a carpenter, and ran his own burger place in Wakefield for a while. He always worked hard to be a provider. I wish I had his strong work ethic.

Kelly Breckumitch, pictured here with his grandpa, learned valuable lessons through experiences with him and hopes to one day be as honest, hardworking and selfless as his grandpa.
My grandpa is a storyteller, one trait I definitely got from him. I'm more of a written word guy, though, and he always does the talking. He always has a joke or story to tell on any occasion. I remember the night of his 50th wedding anniversary. He made the whole room crack up with this joke: "A man and his wife were getting ready to have their seventh child. They had six boys and were hoping for a girl, but when the baby came out a boy, the father cried, 'Dammit!', so that's what they named him. It got him a lot of grief in school, and the class spelling bee was coming up. Now, the principal in the school was new and wanted to observe the classrooms and thought the spelling bee would be a good start. He walked in as Dammit was up to spell and the boy said, 'I'm going to spell Philadelphia.' The teacher looked up and said, 'Dammit, you can't spell Philadelphia.' At this the principal was shocked and replied, 'Well, hell, at least let him try!'
He also inspires me to roll with the punches and not take everything so seriously. Once, on his friend's property in the country, he parked on a hill so he could open the gate to get through. I was sitting in the passenger seat when gravity slowly started to take its toll. The car began rolling backwards down the hill and I was scared shilies; I was 10 at the time. I couldn't move, but my grandpa came bounding back to the truck and put on the handbrake. He looked over at me and saw my face was as white as a ghost. He then started laughing hysterically.
That incident really characterizes my grandpa's genial natural. He's always sure of himself and I always tend to over think everything. He jumped in and immediately pulled the handbrake in the truck, while I was in the cab hesitating. I guess that's just one of the many things I've learned from my grandpa as I've grown up. Sometimes, you really have to just live in the moment.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that an average adult should limit their sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams a day. The average 2-year-old consumes 3,439 milligrams a day.
Should you shake the salt habit?
Considerable health risks arise from high sodium levels in food
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
lhendrick@kansan.com
Adults over the age of 20 should limit their intake of sodium to 1,500 milligrams a day, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report published in 2009. Some foods could fulfill that limit in one meal. A McDonald's Big Mac contains 1007 milligrams, a piece
of Pizza Hut's Meat Lovers', 840 milligrams.
Adrienne Baxter, registered dietitian and instructor at the School of Allied Health, said the minimum amount of sodium needed in a healthy diet was about 500 milligrams, which she said was also the maximum amount people should consume in one meal.
"When I think about young adults, I think about how poor they are at judging what they're eating," Baxter said, noting that Ramen noodles, a food synonymous with college life, has as many as 800 milligrams of sodium per
package She said it was
difficult for people to understand the risks of consuming too much sodium
because the effects weren't always immediate.
The American Heart Association advocates lowering sodium intake to reduce the risks of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. It is estimated that one in three Americans has high blood pressure.
"An interim goal of no more than 2,300 milligrams daily might be more realistic, because the current American food supply makes reducing sodium consumption to less than 1,500 milligrams a day difficult," the American Heart Association stated on their Web site.
"I don't put salt on my food because I know it's already loaded with salt," Celeste Clayton, Dallas freshman, said. Clayton said she didn't read labels, but KU Dining posted nutritional information in Mrs. E's, including sodium contents for certain dishes.
According to the American Heart Association, table salt is 40 percent sodium by weight. Sodium assists the body in transporting fluid between cells and helps nerves transport signals for muscle movement.
The CDC reported that the average American 2-year-old consumed about 3,439 milligrams of salt each day, which was 1,339 milligrams more than the maximum 2,300 milligrams an adult should consume.
Patricia Denning, senior staff physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said sodium overload could prevent healthy kidney secretion. Denning also said that people developed a taste for salt that eventually made them likely to consume more salt in order to taste.
The AmericanHeart Association claims that salt added during food preparation only accounted for 5 percent of the average
other 95 percent was usually added to products for preserving purposes.
"To make up for the loss of flavor, food processors will increase the sodium to make the products more flavorful." Baxter said.
intake. The
Baxter said salt was a hard habit to kick and people needed to give themselves about two months to let their taste buds adjust if they were considering exercising moderation.

Giveaway to put students' used objects up for grabs
BY AMANDA TOMPSON
The Memorial Stadium parking lot will be home to a giant free garage sale on Monday.
Starting Sunday at noon, students and community members can drop off items they no longer want in lot 94 of Memorial Stadium. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, everything collected will be up for grabs, first-come, first-served.
Andrew Stanley, Overland Park senior, worked with University officials and FreeCycle.org representatives to plan the event.
FreeCycle.org is a Web site operated similarly to Craigslist. com, but everything is free. Members can post objects they no longer want and interested members can ask to pick up the item. For the first time, local FreeCycle moderators are moving away from their computers and onto the University campus.
"When we contacted FreeCycle, they were really excited about it." Stanley said. "They'd already wanted to do an event like this but they'd never really had a good public space with exposure."
Stanley said he had acquired posters, a bike and even tomato plants from other Lawrence residents using FreeCycle. He said he wanted to bring an event to the University to give students the opportunity to see how the Web site worked.
"I've found things that are quite valuable to me, where somebody

Two weekend events support breast cancer awareness
BY KEVIN HARDY khardy@kansan.com
Ally Stanton and Kolby Fesmire have two things in common: Both play on the KU softball team and both watched their mothers battle breast cancer.
Stanton, St. Louis junior, and Fesmire, Round Rock, Texas, sophomore, will participate in Saturday's Jayhawks for a Cure 5K and the Pink Diamond Challenge. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center will sponsor the events for the third year. This is the Athletics Department's first year cosponsoring the events.
Stanton said she and her mother were both involved in Susan G. Komen for the Cure before her
"It really helped because when she was diagnosed she already had a support group around her," Stanton said.
"If she can handle everything she's gone through then I can handle anything they throw at me out here," Stanton said.
Stanton's mother, Connie, will throw the first pitch at the softball game against Oklahoma at 1 p.m. Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark. Both teams will wear pink-and-white jerseys in support of the day's events. Connie Stanton said she

"As of last week, I finished my treatment and I'm a new person," Connie Stanton said. "I feel great."

1. War not affecting auto industry, gas prices in Iraq
BAGHDAD — Business, not bombs, is booming at Baghdad car dealerships, as well-heeled Iraqis are indulging in a passion long out of reach — spiffy, new cars.
That may make Baghdad one of the few cities worldwide where the auto industry is doing relatively well — at least compared to the worst of the war, when sales were stagnant.
2. Two people found guilty of killing 17 are executed
And unlike elsewhere in the world, gas prices — about $1.52 a gallon — aren't much of a deterrent to those Iraqis eager and able to catch up with the good life behind the wheel of a new car.
BEJIING — China executed two members of a Muslim minority
on Thursday after finding the men guilty of killing 17 police. The men carried out an attack last year in the country's far west that Beijing said was an attempt to sabotage the Beijing Olympics
NAIROBI, Kenya — FBI hostage negotiators joined U.S. Navy efforts Thursday to free an American cargo ship captain held captive by Somali pirates.
3. Captain held captive by pirates to safequard crew
The pirates tried to hijack the U.S. flagged Maersk Alabama on Wednesday, but Capt. Richard Phillips thwarted their takeover by telling his crew of about 20 to lock themselves in a room, the crew told state relatives.
The crew later overpowered some of the pirates, but Phillips surrendered himself to the bandits to safeguard his crew, and at least four of them fled with him to an enclosed lifeboat, the relatives said.
NATIONAL 4. Liquid morphine on market not FDA approved
NEW YORK — The Food and Drug Administration says it has changed its mind about pulling a liquid morphine painkiller off the market.
Last week, the FDA said it was ordering that medicine off the market because they had never been government-approved. But on Thursday, FDA official Dr. Douglas Throckmorton told The Associated Press that the morphine liquid would be allowed to remain on the market.
MIAMI — A federal judge reprimanded prosecutors and ordered the U.S. government Thursday to pay a defendant more than $600,000, saying members of the man's defense team had been secretly recorded in a questionable

In a strongly worded opinion, U.S. District Judge Alan S. Gold said three prosecutors and a Drug Enforcement Administration agent acted "in bad faith" in the case of Dr. Ali Shaygan, who was acquitted in March of 141 counts of illegally prescribing painkillers.
6. E. coli outbreak causes one death, many illnesses
OKLAHOMA CITY — An extensive investigation has failed to determine how E. coli bacteria was introduced into a northeastern Oklahoma restaurant linked to hundreds of illnesses and one death, the state health board said in a report.
But the report said that since no specimen of the bacteria was found in the restaurant, investigators couldn't determine how it was introduced or spread.

Local Burger serves meals with all local ingredients, taking pride in letting customers know that a tasty burger doesn't have to be unhealthy. All the meat, veggies, and other good stuff are homegrown or locally raised. The buffalo meat is from right here in Lawrence, the beef from Baldwin City. Any thought that these burgers might be bland or tired, like other organic food, is forgotten when you bite into it. It is a wonderful mix between the homemade grill and the fast-food

They serve plenty of other dishes, too. I tried the grilled cheese and it was simple but unbelievable.
And the Buffalo Chili, it stands alone as possibly the best in Lawrence. Regardless of what you order, you know that you are eating healthier, and that in itself is a different feeling; a new experience.

Festival offers a taste-and more-of Japanese culture
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
The Japanese Student Association is bringing a little bit of Japan to Kansas this Saturday with the Japan Festival.
Milho Hayakama, president of JSA, said the festival would demonstrate daily Japanese life, with performances displaying both traditional and modern Japanese culture and hands-on workshops. Hayakama said workshops would include learning to fold origami, writing calligraphy, tea ceremonies and a fortune teller.
"This is a kind of cultural introduction," Hayakama said. "This is a good chance to know an Eastern culture and it is a good chance to meet other people interested in Japanese culture."
Hayakama, Chiba, Japan, senior said the traditional dances in the performance will focus on dif-
few regions of Japan. The performances will include a traditional Okinawan dance called Eisa, and Yosakoi, which is a dance style that developed in southern Japan in the 1950s that combines

traditional Japanese dance moves with modern music.
CHARLES STERN Topeka senior
The performances will include a main skit to explain a part of Japanese culture.
Erik Christensen, 2008 graduate from Wichita, said the main skit in last year's performance was
Christensen said this year's skit would show how people who are younger have to show respect to people who are older in Japanese society in various situations. He said the skits would teach a real part of Japanese culture while incorporating comedy, and some of the skits would exaggerate how extremely polite younger people are to their elders.
As part of the series of performances, Christensen said he would act out a single-person narration called "Rakugo," a traditional Japanese comedy routine where the actor portrays several characters using old Japanese language, with a punch line at the end.

the festival, said the purpose of the workshops was to give students a hands-on cultural experience.
"This will help get people involved and they will learn more about Japanese culture," Stern said. "You get a more hands-on experience, rather than just sitting back and watching."
Hayakama said the dinner held after the workshops would focus
on typical Japanese "countryside" food. Hayakama said the dinner would include a sweet potato tempura that was more common for Japanese people than stereotypical sushi.
("Tempura) is one of the most popular foods in Japan," Hayakama said. "It is more popular than sushi. This is more homemade."
Christensen said the goal of the festival was to get people interested in Japanese culture and to watch and participate to get to know Japan better than they did before.
"We live in an international society now, everything is connected," Christensen said. "It's a chance to broaden your worldview."

MUSIC KU Drumline to perform at Royals' home opener
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
The KU drumline always watches the rest of the Marching Jayhawks sprint down the steps of Memorial Stadium for football pre-game shows. But tonight the drumline will have the privilege of running down the steps on the first and third baselines of Kauffman Stadium for the Kansas City Royals' home opener.
The drumline will take the field at 3:10 p.m, with drummels from three area high schools for a pregame cadence. The performance will be preceded by fireworks, and will be followed by a dance team made up of local dance groups.
"This event is to celebrate not only the home opener, but to celebrate the finish of numerous great improvements to Kauffman Stadium," Andy Jackson, Overland Park sophomore, said.
Jackson, a section leader of the KU drumline, said the group was asked to perform in the mass drumline and had two rehearsals in the refurbished stadium. Jackson said the idea of traveling back and forth to Kansas City, Mo., didn't discourage the drumline from the unique opportunity to play at the recently renovated Kauffman Stadium.
"We were responsible for driving ourselves to the stadium all three days, but that didn't turn anyone off to the idea of playing for the Royals' home opener," Jackson said.
The next performance for the KU winter drumline will take place at Memorial Stadium just one day after its Royals performance for Saturday's spring football game at 2 p.m.

South Park's portrayal incenses rapper
CELEBRITY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — "South Park" may have accomplished the impossible — getting Kanye West to check his ego.
West's love of himself and his work has been almost as integral to his image as his music: Just last year, he told The Associated Press that he was the "voice of this generation." Also recently, he was quoted as saying his greatest regret was not being able to see himself perform live.
In this animated still released by Comedy Central, a cartoon version of rapper Kanye West is shown on an episode of "South Park." West was upset that Wednesday's episode of the show suggested he was a gay fish.
The Comedy Central show skewered the famously self-important rapper Wednesday night, painting him as a narcissist so out of touch with reality he couldn't take a (politically incorrect) joke.
Yet, on his blog Thursday, West appeared chastened, and ready to turn over a new leaf.
In typical all-caps mode,
he wrote: "SOUTH PARK
MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT"
AND IT'S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHATCANYOUEXPECTFROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE
West said that he started stroking his ego long ago to build up his self esteem — but he now realizes he needs to "GET PAST MYSELF"

Commissioners detail ideas for KU

Mike Amyx, Aron Cromwell, and Lance Johnson were elected to Lawrence city commission Tuesday evening.
Here's what the elected city commissioners plan to do to help KU and the student population.

Amyx
"I suppose the biggest thing is continue to work with KU on Wheels. We try to put together and coordinate a transportation system between the T system that we have here in Lawrence. I think that's one of the biggest ways we can help. The financial assistance that we got through the sales tax
bill passed back in November coupled with the stimulus funds to help us buy new buses, the work that's being done through the joint consultant to help with bus
routes now. I think that is one of the best ways we can work as a community both with KU students and the city of Lawrence and working on transportation needs for the future."
ARON CROMWELL
"Job opportunities are a huge part of it and one of the big things I'm going to be focused on right away is increasing the number of living wage jobs that we have in Lawrence. I really would love

to see our KU out of town, as far as in Kansas City. Our home games being out of town, that hurts us, that's sort of a KU issue. I've talked a little bit here about living conditions, rental registration. That sort of thing is an important issue as well and I want to help encourage the livability of our residences for students. I'm very much in favor of increasing bicycle friendliness of our city; we're getting kind of mid-grade marks on that, which is better than nothing, but there's some room that we have to go. I got around almost exclusively on a bicycle when I was at KU and I think there's still a lot of that going on."

So that really goes back to building up a tax base through jobs, and I think with the new chancellor coming in, it presents a real opportunity for the city and KU to sit down and talk about what can the city do to help KU as well as the students and I'm open to that."

Billy Bob bites back about his band, the Boxmasters
In a radio appearance reminiscent of David's Letterman's recent
NEW YORK — Joaquin, you have competition.
Thorton
TOM HANSEN
interview with actor-turned rapper Joaqun Phoenix, Billy Bob Thornton gave a puzzling and difficult interview Wednesday.
Thornton appeared on the show with his band, the Boxmasters, who are on tour with Willie Nelson.
When host Ian Ghomeshi asked Thornton when the band formed, Thornton said: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Appearing
on CBC radio, the Canadian public broadcaster, Thornton evaded simple questions and criticized the host for mentioning his movie background.
Thornton mostly gave brief,
sometimes monosyllabic, answers.
Asked what music he listened to when he was young, Thornton spoke about reading the magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland.
The actor took offense when Ghomeshi suggested he was passionate about music.
"Would you say that to Tom Petty?" asked Thornton.
Thornton eventually made it clear that he was angry with Ghomeshi for his introduction.
Ghomeshi began the show introducing the band by focusing on their music and prodigious output in less than two years. He did, though, introduce Thornton as an "Oscar-winning screenwriter, actor and director"
"You were instructed not to talk about ... like that," said Thornton, using an expletive.
Ghomeshi, who's also in the band Moxy Fruvous, replied that he was "just giving context." The host said he was pleased to simply talk about music and pointed out Thornton's band was getting attention partially because of the career he's had.

Bon voyage to my knife
BY TED FREDERICKSON
One funky piece of art captivated my wife and me during a recent visit to the Pompidou Centre, a modern art museum in Paris. Created by Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, the 29-foot-long airplane constructed mostly of bamboo hung from the ceiling, with four whirring electric fans (where propellers should be) blowing streams of paper backwards, simulating flight.
We were puzzled by its title, "Bon Voyage: 10,000 Collectables from the airport. 2004," until we noticed light reflecting from pieces of metal embedded in the plane. When we looked closer, we saw scissors, toenail trimmers, cork-screws, box cutters, hunting knives and other forbidden items that the exhibit explained had been seized from passengers boarding flights at the Sao Paulo, Brazil, airport. The exhibit was lacking in color, except for familiar rectangles of red throughout the wings and fuse-lage — the ubiquitous Swiss Army Knives that many men carry. I felt mine as I stared up at hundreds forever orphaned from their owners' pockets.
Little did I realize that three weeks later, I would be approaching the metal detector and X-ray machines at the airport in Malta, fumbling through my pocket for boarding pass and passport, feeling instead (to my horror) my treasured Swiss Army Knife. Normally, I take great care to put my knife in checked luggage, where it is legal. I've carried the same knife since college, using it to open good beers (they don't have twist-offs), make quick repair with its Phillips and regular screwdrivers, or cut up fruit and cheese for impromptu picnics with my wife.
With the baggage already checked, and the Ryanair flight that would take us back to the Venice-Treviso airport already loading, I quickly whispered my situation to my wife. She expressed sympathy for my impending loss, then panic when I informed her that I was determined to find a
way to slip it through security. She had visions of the metal detector going off as I walked through, or of the uniformed woman intently studying carry on bags as they traveled through the X-ray, nodding ominously to an armed policeman nearby and pointing at me.

I needed a plan to fool airport security — not to smuggle a weapon onboard for evil purposes, but to avoid losing a knife that accompanied and served me well for 39 years. I veered away from the line to the last bathroom outside the gate. I knew I couldn't keep the knife in my pocket, because even a small belt buckle will set off the metal detector. So I opened my suitcase, took out my metal-rimmed sunglasses, aligned my knife against the thick top rim of the glasses, then slid them tightly back into the case. I carefully positioned the case so that when the suitcase passed through the X-ray machine, the thin edge of the knife matched the rim of the glasses rather than showing the outline of the blades.
look" that husbands know means disapproval. This look had an added p.s. with an exclamation point: You are on your own. Bud, and would you please keep some distance from me!
I took off my shoes, watch, ring and belt, emptied the keys, coins and wallet from my pockets and loaded them along with my jacket into the plastic tray; then set the tray on the conveyor, followed by my suitcase — carefully positioned on its side.
As I watched my wife collect her things on the other side of the conveyor belt and quickly walk away, I stepped through the metal detector, then watched from the other side as the woman stopped the conveyor, studied the screen for one long moment — then let my suitcase pass through.
As I loaded my suitcase into the storage compartment above my seat, I couldn't help thinking about the message the artist sent with his clever piece at the Pompidou. While those 10,000 collectables (including hundreds of Swiss Army knives like mine) never made it onto their flights, they flew again aboard his bamboo plane. My knife beat the odds and flew Ryanair to Venice. It is still in my pocket.

STUDENT LIFE
Take a second look at summer school
---
A after the torturous week of finals has ended in mid.May many student
mid-May, many students prepare for a summer of freedom. Traveling, employment and moving home are just a few options for young adults during the three months between the spring and fall semesters. Except for a select group, who choose to return to class a mere two weeks after finishing finals.
The idea of summer school receives an instant crine and an astonished "Why would you do that?" from many students. But the fact of the matter is, there are numerous reasons for taking a course over the break, and doing so doesn't have to be as painful as many imagine. As someone who took classes the past two summers, and as a strong advocate for them, I can personally speak of the benefits.
I'll start with the most obvious — it's one less class you'll have to take during the semester. But aside from just knocking out some credit hours in June and July, consider the small time frame. Summer courses meet for longer class periods than those in fall or spring, but they are also completely finished in two months. Imagine being done with a course you've been dreading in half the amount of time I, for example, was avoiding a particular English class I am required to take for graduation. However, I can guarantee spending two class periods talking about Native American origin stories was far less painful than spending two full weeks on it. If there is a subject you really can't stand, sucking it up and taking it during summer may be a huge relief.
Summer courses also provide a little more leeway for students during the semester. This past semester, I enrolled in a non-Western course that was way

Also, I'll let you in on a secret. Don't apply this to every course, but, though they cover material more quickly, I have found summer school courses to be much easier than those during the regu lar semester. As long as you keep up on your work, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised.
over my head. By February it was obvious that Chinese emperors and I were not gelling. I was able to drop the course without getting behind on credit hours, because of past summer courses.
Summer classes don't have to cramp your style, either. The University has many options for class times, including some that meet only twice a week, or last for only one month. Students can still easily hold a job and travel. A local community college may be an option if you plan on moving home for the summer. If you're really worried about the time constraints of summer courses, consider online classes. Many universities offer them, and Barton County Community College in particular is quite popular among KU students. Always remember to check whether your course will transfer to the University to avoid frustration down the road.
When you're making your plans this summer be sure to consider summer school. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, and Mom and Dad will likely be impressed with your initiative and responsibility.

Waiting for real change
Let me say up front that I voted for President Obama in hopes of "change" from the eight year presidential fiasco we found ourselves in. But, every day I read something that is more and more frighteningly similar to Bush-era policies.
First off, Obama is refusing to rescind the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which guarantees telecommunications agencies such as AT&T and Verizon retroactive immunity for giving all your text messages, phone calls and anything else you use your phone for to the National Security Agency, regardless of "keywords." He said he would vote against FISA before the election and many top Democrats have criticized him for this change.
In that same vein, he's continuing warrantless domestic spying inherent with FISA, even though
he claimed to be against the U.S. Patriot Act, which allows not only domestic spying but many more seemingly unconstitutional activities. He's also refusing to repeal parts of that act that are deemed unconstitutional by many prominent law professors and other professionals. Again, this was done pre-election, even though during the primaries he promised otherwise.
He's using rendition as a "tool" to fight "terror." Rendition is the secret abduction and questioning of "terror suspects," which these days could be just about anyone.
And the newest piece of information: Just as in the Bush administration, anything dubbed a "state secret" cannot be used against the federal government.
So what do we have left in a world where Democrats and Republicans, despite their gleaming oratory, are still politicians? "Change We Can Believe In," indeed.

Using underwear to create awareness

BY BETSY CUTCLIFF

Tim Maroney, Wichita junior, glances at a line of women's underwear strung between two trees on the lawn in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall Friday afternoon. The display was part of a project for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Hanging panties and boxerbriefs outside Fraser Hall is just one of the ways activist groups are getting students' attention about Sexual Violence Awareness month. Throughout the month of April, the Commission on the Status of Women, The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and GaDuGi Safecenter are hosting events to get the word out about sexual violence, and highlight resources available to students.
Tanner Wilbanks, Lawrence senior and sexual assault awareness coordinator for CSW, said that while the University and GalDuGi Safecenter had a multitude of material providing information about prevention and statistics, students weren't as active as they should be.
"The resources are there, I just don't know if students are aware that they exist," Wilbanks said.
The Cleary Act, former known as the Campus Safety Act, requires
Annie McKay, assistant director of the Emily Taylor Resource Center, said while sexual violence happened every day, students only paid attention when an assault or event launched the issue into the media.
"When you see a clothesline full of underwear hanging ... you'll probably stop and see what's going on," McKay said.
"The challenge becomes garnering student interest the other 300 days of the year when it's not on the front page of the paper." McKay said.
McKay said one solution to the lack of continual awareness was flagging down students with eyecatching programs like the pantyline project, which allows students to write their opinions of sexual assault on underwear and paper cutouts of panties and hang them on a clothesline.
The University also takes part in awareness by publishing statistics on campus crime in accordance with the Jeanne Cleary Act.
Other efforts to increase awareness included briefings during freshman orientation for both students and parents.

Stanley said furniture, books, sports equipment and appliances were among the kinds of items that would be accepted. He said he hoped to see more unique items dropped off as well.
"Maybe some vintage T-shirts or CDs, really anything goes." Stanley said. "It's what's great about it, you can find anything and just leave it up to creativity."
Stanley said it was important for people not to drop off things that needed to be properly recycled, like broken electronics or hazardous materials.
"But other than that, if it works, it's fine." Stanley said.
Stanley said it was important for students to be aware of the opportunity so they would know throwing things away was not their only option.
"It's really better than recycling because someone can take something you never use or something that's sitting in your closet waiting to be thrown away," Stanley said.

Football prospects start the NCAA-regulated process as high school juniors
asamson@kansan.com
Football is back in session, at least this Saturday, as the Jayhawks take the field at Memorial Stadium take their annual spring game.
The spring game, set for 2 p.m., is an important weekend for recruits, said Brandon Blaney, recruiting coordinator and assistant offensive line coach.
"The spring game is somewhat similar to basketball's first practice and Late Night in the Phog." Blaney said. "If there's an enthusiastic, loud and large crowd, enthusiasm certainly makes a good impact on recruits' decisions as they go."
Kansas has begun to cast its recruiting net, so far offering scholarships to 60 prospects, 13 of whom have already orally committed to other schools. For the 5.7 percent of current high school juniors who will pursue Division-I college football, the coming months will paint a better picture as to where they stand in the recruiting process.
Here is a closer look at the college football recruiting process:
17830654427914001
SENDING OUT HIGHLIGHT FILM
JUNIOR CAMPS
Blaney said that Kansas received well over 1,000 highlight and game films every recruiting cycle, and that each coach had a voice in deciding which recruits to offer scholarships to.
Defensive back Tyler Patton said he started his recruiting process by sending his junior-year highlight film to about 40 schools. Of the 40 schools, many sent letters expressing interest in Patmon's cornerback skills, but only Iowa State and Kansas sent offers.
Colleges usually hold junior camps in the spring or summer, which allow a recruit to become
For a recruit, the highlight film is one of the first steps in the process and can affect the type of attention college coaches will devote to a recruit.
"It's a collective effort," Blaney said. "There isn't one coach pulling the trigger. Every single position coach and coordinator has a recruiting responsibility and has a say in who we recruit, especially at their position."
The NCAA permits coaches to call recruits at any time throughout the recruiting process, but there are limitations on how often the coach may call.
"It's very stressful and strenuous on a high school student because it's probably one of the biggest decisions you'll have to make," safety Bradley McDougald said. "It may seem like a lot of fun having coaches call your phone but after a while it gets to be really repetitive."
CONTACT FROM COACHES
familiar with the school, coaches and other recruits vying for scholarship offers. Kansas held its annual junior day event Feb. 21, when high school juniors were invited to campus for an unofficial visit.
"The number-one essential to recruiting is wherever you're thinking about going, make sure you go to a camp there," offensive lineman Gavin Howard said. "Because that's how the coaches look at you, they get to coach you, and you see how they coach also."

SPRING GAME
SATURDAY
Football's spring game will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Admission will be free to the public and gates will open at 1 p.m. Fans will receive a free 2009 magnet schedule. The team is asking that fans enter and sit on the west side of the stadium. The game will be broadcast on KUathletics.com as well as the Jayhawk Radio Network, 610 AM and 105.9 FM in Lawrence. Metro Sports and Kansas 22 will telewishe the game.
The evaluation period, which begins in May and continues until
signing day, is when coaches prioritize players. Blaney said that during the evaluation process, coaches looked for progress from the athlete's junior to senior year to determine whether the player would continue to grow in the program and eventually contribute at

It tends to be a bigger deal at football-crazed schools like Georgia and Alabama, but there's no reason Kansas fans can't get excited for the spring game this year. The Jayhawks are coming off their two best consecutive seasons in school history, including two back-to-back bowl victories. Now, with the spring game, the hype can start for the Jayhawks' shot at a Big 12 North championship.
Colorado has some turmoil of its own with a possible quarterback battle leading up to next season. Cody Hawkins no longer seems to be the apple of head coach/dad Dan Hawkins' eye, and he may lose the starting job. Isn't it about time? He ran backwards 16 yards just to get sacked for a safety against Kansas last season. The Buffaloes also lose defensive tackle George Hypolite, who was a big factor in their run defense last season.

spokesman Dennis Minich confirmed.
Minich said Lueken left the hospital in good condition.
MARK MORRISON
A police report obtained
Lueken
from the KU Public Safety Office indicated that Lueken suffered severe lacerations following an incident in a Jayhawker Towers parking lot early Sunday.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey said Lueken was either thrown from or tumbled off the roof of a sport utility vehicle during the incident. A suspect was identified and the investigation is ongoing.

2008 Jayhawks best in memory
COMMENTARY
It has begun. Now that the NCAA tournament has ended with a resounding national championship victory by North Carolina, the Tar Heels are being called one of the greatest college basketball teams in recent memory.
Only two years ago we heard this about the 2007 Florida Gators who won their second straight national championship that year by beating Ohio State in the title game.
Those arguments seemed to be noticeably absent last year after Kansas won the national championship. Now, let's make one thing clear. This isn't saying the 2008 lavihawks were slighted.
Kansas received plenty of recognition for its third NCAA tournament championship last season. But in the week following its feat most of the talk revolved around the classic championship game against Memphis.
After all, it was probably the greatest championship game ever. North Carolina's smothering of Michigan State this season was probably the worst. Even Florida's 2007 victory against Ohio State was a relative snoozer.
So perhaps the only reason we didn't hear discussions about Kansas' legacy was because there was so

much else to talk about. But truth be told, the 2008 Kansas team was better than both this year's North Carolina squad and the Florida team from two years ago.
Think this is just the Morning Brew being a home? No way. All the evidence supports the Jayhawks.
This season North Carolina went 34-4 and didn't even win the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Tournament. Florida prevailed in the 2007 Southeastern Conference Championship Tournament, but still only finished at 35-5.
Let's start with the simplest indicator of success: records. In their championship season, the layhawks went 37-3. That's better than both the Tar Heels and the Gators.
North Carolina and Florida supporters might argue that their teams faced tougher competition during their championship seasons than Kansas. Not true. Not
only was the 2008 Big 12 Conference tougher than the SEC in 2007 and the ACC in 2009, the liawahks also had the roughest road in the NCAA tournament.
Kansas beat both the tournament's top-seeded teams in 2008, North Carolina and Memphis. This year's Tar Heels didn't have to play a No. 1 seed at all as their Final Four foes were third-seeded Villanova and second-seeded Michigan State. Ohio State was the only No. 1 seed Florida encountered two years ago.
All three teams had enough talent to make an NBA scout's head explode while trying to take notes during a game. The 2007 Florida team had six players who were eventually selected in the NBA Draft — Joakim Noah, AI Hortford, Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, Chris Richard and Marreese Speights.
— joining Brandon Rush, Mark Chalmers, Darrrell Arthur, Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson. It's speculation at this point for this season's North Carolina squad, but it looks to be a lock for seven. An eventual eighth could be possible.
THE
MORNING
BREW
But forget about personnel for
a second. Heck, throw out records and whom the teams beat to get there, too. When it comes down to it, Kansas has the ultimate argument.
The layhawks beat both teams. Before Florida won the national championship in 2007, Kansas upset it 82-80 in Las Vegas with the core of players who would go on to win the national championship in 2008.
And you surely have forgotten how Kansas thrashed practically the exact same North Carolina team 84-66 in the 2008 Final Four.
Let the talk about the dominance of this season North Carolina team continue. And the 2007 Gators, too. Both are well deserved. Just know, Kansas was better.

GOLF Recent poor play plagues team,worries coach Grove
Men's golf coach Kit Grove struggled to find words to describe his team's play lately.
The team looks to turn things around at the River Landing Intercollegiate in Wallace, N.C., this weekend. Grove said seniors Walt Koelbel, Zach Pederson and Andrew Storm would be counted on by the whole team.
"it's a bit of a crapshoot right now," Grove said. "We are coming off our worst performance of the spring immediately following our best performance."
"This week we have three sei niors in the lineup for the first time all season, so hopefully some of their experience can
equate to some lower scores," Grove said.
Grove also noted his team's competition as motivation for getting better.
"We have the (Texas) A&M tournament which is a very strong field so hopefully it will be a good test before the Big 12 Championships" Grove said.

Cardinals pitcher suspended after positive steroid test
NEWYORK — St. Louis Cardinals minor league pitcher Deryk Hooker was suspended for 50 games Thursday after testing positive for drug of abuse under the sport's minor league program.
The 19-year-old from San Diego was 0-1 with a 1.61 ERA in four starts last season at Quad Cities of the Class A Midwest League after going 1-1 with a 3.84 ERA and one save in eight starts and three relief appearances at Johnson City of the Appalachian League.
Hooker, a seventh-round pick in 2007, was slated to be in Quad Cities rotation this season.

3B
RECRUIT (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
the Division-I level.
"There are schools that take a national recruiting approach where they look on the Internet and see which guys are supposedly the top guys in the country." Blaney said. "The big thing we have to be able to do in recruiting is estimate what a player is going to play like at age 21, 22 and 23, since it's a very rare occasion when a freshman comes in and plays right away."
UNOFFICIAL COLLEGE VISITS
Recruits can take as many unofficial visits as desired at any time throughout the recruiting process, but the visit must be paid for by the recruit and his family.
Howard visited Kansas on his own dime four times and didn't visit officially until after he signed his letter of intent.
OFFICIAL COLLEGE VISITS
Official visits for the recruit and his family are paid for by the interested school. The paid trip consists of transportation to and from the college, housing and meals during the visit, and entertainment for the recruit and his family that may include a home athletics event. A recruit is limited to five official visits and he can officially visit a school only once.
"I was most impressed with the hospitality from the coaches and players on my visit," defensive lineman Randall Dent said. "And I was also impressed with the basketball game in the Phog."
Patmon said he was in awe on his official visit when he toured Memorial Stadium and the weight room and the players' lounge in the football complex.
The completion of the Anderson Family Football Complex last summer proved to be a strong factor in recruits' decisions.
"When we went up there to Lawrence, we saw the facilities and that was one of the reasons I chose Kansas," Patmon said. "It was really nice and I know Kansas is a program that is up-and-coming and it's going to get better by time."
TAKING THE ACTOR SAT
Taking a standardized test is one of the key steps in the recruiting process. Blaney said that he thought it was important for the prospects to know the NCAA academic requirements and that taking the ACT or SAT early on in the student athlete's high school career was essential.
"I think the biggest obstacle is getting an athlete to understand that they are academically held accountable for the decisions," Blaney said. "Whether they be good or bad decisions they make
at age 14 and 15 in their freshman and sophomore years"
A recruit can commit to a university only orally until he is able to sign his national letter of intent. The oral commitment is no more than a promise to the coaches that he will sign with their school. At any time the recruit can break the commitment.
FACTORS THAT GO INTO
A RECRUIT'S DECISION
If a recruit decides after orally committing that he would like to look at other schools, he can decommit without any penalties or violations.
According to a 2008 report by the Journal of Sports Economics, geographic distance is the primary factor in a recruits' college consideration. The team's on-field performance, conference affiliation, facilities, playing-time opportunities and academic reputation also influence the decision.
Distance wasn't a factor, though, for some of the recruits in Kansas' 2009 recruiting class. The lajawhaws snagged two recruits from Florida, wide receiver Erick McGriff and running back Deshaun Sands, and junior-college defensive lineman Quinton Woods is from California.
ORAL COMMITMENT
One example of decommit-
ment in Kansas' recently signed recruiting class is McDougald. KU coaches continued to recruit McDougald while he was committed to Ohio State. McDougald accepted a scholarship offer from Ohio State in June and was committed to the Buckeyes but then he decided to take more official visits. As soon as he made that decision, his relationship with Ohio State coach Jim Tressel changed.
"I had wanted to look around, so then from there, coach Tressel and I talked, and he basically said the offer was still there, but if I looked other places, he would look elsewhere and that would open my recruitment up." McDougal said.
NATIONAL LETTER OF INTENT
The letter of intent binds the athlete to the college he signs with. If the recruit doesn't follow through and opts to transfer, he can lose a year of eligibility if he goes to another Division I institution.
This recruiting season, the signing period began Feb. 4 and lasted through April 1, although Blaney said most athletes sign their letter of intent on the first day.
It is only after receiving a signed letter of intent that a coach can comment on the recruit publicly.

NEW YORK
Payroll included in teams' spending cuts
Economy calls for teams to reconsider rosters, salaries
New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez smiles during a spring training baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays in Dunedin, Fla., Rodriguez, who is on the disabled list following hip surgery, is the game's highest-paid player with a $33 million salary, topping the major leagues for the ninth straight year.
RONALD BLUM Associated Press
The recession has hit baseball salaries.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Teams cut payrolls for their active rosters and disabled lists by $47 million from opening day in 2008 to the first day of this season, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. That comes out to a drop of 1.7 percent.
"Clubs were cautious all winter with regards to the economy and were concerned the economy might have an impact on club revenue," said Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer. "The spending reflected that for many clubs."
The drop is the first since 2004 and just the second since the 1994-95 strike.
Looking at payroll team by team, 16 of the 30 major clubs clubs cut payroll. Among those who lowered spending — the mighty New York Yankees.
While the Yankees led the major leagues with a $201.4 million payroll, they trimmed salaries by $7.6 million from the start of last season. The difference is that while they added high-priced free agents CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira, they also let Jason Giambi, Bobby Abreu and Carl Pavano leave, watched Mike Mussina retire and more than halved pitcher Andy Pettitte's guaranteed pay.
Others cut more, led by San Diego ($30.9 million), the Chicago White Sox ($25.1 million), Detroit ($23.6 million) and Seattle ($19.1 million).
The 14 who increased salaries were led by AL champion Tampa Bay ($19.5 million), the Chicago Cubs ($16.5 million), Florida ($15.0 million), and World Series champion Philadelphia ($14.7 million).
"The company would have had every right to reduce the payroll until the new owner came," said Cubs general manager Jim Hendry, whose team is in the process of being sold from Sam Zell's Tribune Co. to a group headed by Tom Ricketts, a member of the founding
Instead, the Cubs invested in switch-hitter Milton Bradley to try and break their more than century-long streak without a World Series title.
family of TD Ameritrade Holding Corp.
"We're seeing a continuation of the trend of mid- and small-market teams developing their own talent and keeping their own talent." DuPuy said, "and I think that's reflected in the totals that you see"
And while the 10 highest spenders lowered payroll by an average of $7.8 million, the 10 lowest raised spending by an average of $4.5 million, a small step toward commissioner Bud Selig's goal of closing the gap between rich and poor teams.
While overall payroll is down, the average player salary is up 2.7 percent to $3.24 million. That's because there are fewer players in the major leagues getting checks right now.

The slow free-agent market, meanwhile, has drawn the attention of the players' association, but it has not yet decided whether to file a collusion grievance.

BRECKUNITCH (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
but he's losing some critical pieces. Josh Freeman, famous for imploding against the Jayhawks, is departing for the NFL draft. Second-leading wide receiver Deon Murphy and top defensive player Ian Campbell are both graduating. Snyder has options with what's left of his team, but it won't be enough for a run at the Big 12 North title.
Missouri and Nebraska will be the biggest obstacles in Kansas' way. But Missouri is losing a lot of talent, including Chase Daniel, Chase Coffman and Jeremy Maclin. Nebraska has the best shot to challenge Kansas in the North. Yes, the team will lose quarterback Joe Ganz, but it won't lose many others. Speedster Roy Helu Jr., the same guy that torched Kansas for 115 yards and 2 touchdowns, including one from 52 yards out, will return at running back. Coach Bo Pelini will keep a strong focus on defense, and with
run-stopper Ndamukong Suh back, Nebraska's stout defense will be difficult to overcome.
Kansas will lose some players, mainly on the defensive side, but they will retain a lot of talent. The spring game can show the fans a lot about the potential of this team. The main questions will be how the Jayhawks can replace all three starting linebackers, and who will start at cornerback. But, if they say the best offense is a good defense, why can't the opposite be true? Todd Reesing is the best quarterback in the North, and most of his weapons return, which should lead to a third consecutive bowl game. Saturday will give the fans their first chance to see the team. The game will surely lead to much speculation, including about Kansas' shot at a Big 12 North title. After the game, all the fans can do is wait and see.
TENNIS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Erin Wilbert, Lafayette, La., freshman, said she thinks Sisk encountered a lot of obstacles because players were probably reluctant to play for a school that was "starting from scratch". She said even though they are all freshmen, it seems like Tulane has come up with a good group of girls.

because of Hurricane Katrina", KU coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "I know they have had a few good wins this year. They beat UTEP 4-3, and we went 4-3 with UTEP at the beginning of the season, so we have got to be out there willing to play and ready to fight."
"I think they've been doing really well. I'm sure they're going to come out fighting, so we need to be ready. I'm sure that they're struggling, but they've obviously overcome that to have a good season so far," Wilbert said.
Wilbert said that she and her family were lucky when Hurricane Katrina hit and lucky again the following month when Hurricane Rita struck the U.S. Gulf Coast. Katrina hit to the east of Lafayette, and Rita hit to the west, so she and her family avoided any damage to their home. A lot of Hurricane Katrina evacuees traveled to Lafayette, which "made traffic a nightmare" and caused her school to become crowded.
"I'm not complaining because I met one of my best friends through the whole thing. Now every Mardi Gras, I go to visit her and spend Mardi Gras there with her and some friends. This year was my first Mardi Gras in like four years that I haven't been to New Orleans to celebrate," Wilbert said.
NFL
Vick possibly transferring back to Leavenworth
"I really would like to win just because I left Louisiana to come here, so it would really make me feel more confident. I already feel really good about my decision coming to Kansas, but that would just reaffirm it even more," Wilbert said.
Wilbert said that defeating Tulane today would confirm what she already knows.
She said she does, however, wish that "KU celebrated Mardi Gras as hardcore as us Louisianans do, so we could get an extra week off of school!"
When she was in high school, Wilbert considered playing for Tulane, which is about two hours east of Lafayette. She accrued a record of 83-2 in four years, and was undefeated her senior year, helping her team win the state championship in 2008. Her juniors doubles partner, who was considering playing for the Green Wave, introduced Wilbert to Tulane's head coach. However, Wilbert's mom, Karen, encouraged her to play out-of-state.
"She thought I'd have a better chance of seeing what else is out there, instead of staying close to home," Wilbert said. "If I had stayed closer to home, I would have been more inclined to come home every weekend and get my mom to do my laundry."
PETERSBURG, Va. — Suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick was being held in a prison in his home state of Virginia, and it was unclear Thursday whether he was still heading back to a Kansas penitentiary to await his transfer to home confinement and eventual release.
Karen Wilbert, traveling from Lafayette, will be courtside today to watch her daughter attempt to win her team-leading 14th singles match of the season and then again next weekend when Kansas contests No. 31 Texas and No. 33 Texas A&M.
The 28-year-old Vick is scheduled to transfer to home confinement May 21 in Hampton, Va., and is set to be released from federal custody on July 20.

Armstrong has denied misbehaving during a test of his hair, urine and blood on March 17. No banned substances were found.
Armstrong is hoping to win an eighth Tour title in July after having retired in 2005.

What students are saving about Don's
Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noises and the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handled these things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college. I had heard about Don's Auto from some friends and through the Kansan, so I decided to give them a call. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super understanding.
What impressed me most, was that they offered to call my dad and consult with him every step of the way. Now, I always take my car to Don's!

SOFTBALL

tpowers@kansan.com
Since the 1890s, Kansas has been known for its classic colors
- crimson and blue. However, Jayahawk fans wishing to cheer on the softball team this weekend at Arrocha Ballpark are encouraged to wear pink.
Today's game, which was recently moved up to 4 p.m., kicks off the Jayhawks for a Cure series. In the two-game series, Kansas will host the No.11 Oklahoma Sooners (30-12, 7-3). The second game starts at 1 p.m. Saturday.
The lajhawks come into the series after splitting Wednesday's doubleheader against Nebraska.
It was their third-straight split series in conference play. At 4-4 against the USA Softball/ESPN top 25, the Jayhawks aren't intimidated by the Sooners.
"I'm thinking about us taking two," said junior
"I know that we've played some of our best games against ranked teams," she said. "We're pumped up and ready to dominate."
Oklahoma is currently third in the Big 12 at 7-3, a testament to the overall strength of the conference. Aside from the Sooners, the Big 12 currently has three other ranked teams in the USA Softball/ESPN top 25: No. 10 Missouri, No. 20 Texas and No. 24 Texas A&M.

up 11 home runs and 45 RBI for the season. Paced by Flores, Oklahoma's high-powered offense averages nearly six runs per game
and is atop the Big 12 in total home runs with 39. If the Sooners have a weakness, it's from the circle, where their pitching staff has a combined 2.91 ERA.

"We're just taking it one game at a time," Chapple said.
"The bottom line is that we've just got to go out and play our game."
Kansas, with the 16th most difficult schedule in the nation, according to warrennolan.com, currently sits at seventh place in the Big 12 with a record of 3-5 (13-23 overall). The Jayhawk offense is led by Chapple .(.323), sophomore left fielder Liz Kocon .(.301), and senior center fielder Dougie McCaulley .(.294). Kocon also leads the team with 21 RBIs and is second in home runs with four, one behind sophomore Allie Clark's five long balls.
Kansas junior Sarah Vertelka and senior Valerie George are expected to shoulder the load for the pitch.

Augusta National exciting as golfers started strong
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Chad Campbell ran off five straight birdies, the best start ever in the Masters. Jim Furyk charged up the crowd with four straight birdies late in his round. Even that notoriously slow starter, Tiger Woods, got in on the action.
Anyone worried that Augusta National had lost its excitement
only had to listen to the sweetest of sounds Thursday.
Campbell led an assault on the record book with nine birdies in 15 holes before two late mistakes made him settle for a 7-under 65 and a one-shot lead over Furyk and Hunter Mahan.
"It is nice to hear some noises again." Sandy Lyle said.
Augusta National cooked up the perfect formula for record
scoring — warm sunshine and only a gentle breeze, along with inviting hole locations and greens that were soft and smooth.
The cheers came from all corners for 11 hours of golf that produced six eagles and 354 birds. There were 19 rounds in the 60s, the most ever for the first round, and only four fewer than the entire tournament last year.
It was so easy that Woods nearly broke 70 in the opening round for the first time in his career.

Heere breathes new life into third spot in the lineup
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
Before the season even started, coach Ritch Pelt felt confident about a couple of players. One of them was sophomore outfielder Brian Heere.
Heere, Lawrence native, was going to play a big part in how the season would progress, Price said. With an outfield full of question marks just two months ago, Price knew he would have to rely on the young sophomore being ready to perform at the plate.
"He's had a tremendous fall, I'm really pleased with his development," Price said back in February at media day. "He's a good runner and we're going to move him into the two hole."
Well, Price was right about Heere's running abilities, and now Heere is doing it from the third spot in the order instead of the second. He has used his speed and his abilities to bunt and hit to all sides of the field to raise his batting average to .371, second highest on the team.
"He's really had a nice run. There's peaks and valleys to every hitter and he went through a little bit of a lull a couple of weeks ago," Price said. "He's on balance, swinging at strikes and using the whole field."

as if Heere wasn't going to be able to keep his batting average above .250, let alone .370. But with the third spot in the order in flux and junior second baseman Roby Price struggling early in the season, Heere's emergence as a reliable hitter in the three hole has not only been a relief for Ritch Price, but allowed Roby and junior shortstop David Narodowski to move up in the order and see better pitches to hit.
"It's put guys in position where with Narodowski and Robby at the top of the lineup are seeing more fastballs to hit." Ritch said. "They're swinging the bat a lot
better because of that."
Heere's main goal heading into this season was to keep up his work from the fall. He said he wanted to carry over everything he learned and accomplished last fall before the season started.
Sophomore outfielder Brian Heere is greeted by other Jayhawks after scoring a run during the team's April 4 game against Baylor at Hoglund Ballpark. With .375, Heere now has the second highest batting average on the team and now occupies the position in the lineup usually reserved for teams' best overall hitter.
"My biggest thing was trying to carry over my fall, I had a pretty good fall," Heere said. "Tried to carry over my approaches and remember what I was seeing and how I felt in the fall and putting that into game situations on the spring."
9
Since Heere's move to third in the lineup, the Jayhawks have averaged 7.9 runs a game, a significant improvement. Heere is tied for fourth in runs scored with 23 and leads the team with a .483 on-base percentage. Kansas (20-12, 4-5) will need all the offense it can get this weekend against No. 18 Oklahoma State (21-11, 4-5).
But freshman first baseman Zac Elgie definitely appreciates what Heere's batting has brought the Javahws since the lineup change.
"He's one of those special guys that can hit a ball to all fields and drop a bunt down and beat it out." Elgie said. "He's got a pretty good skill set."
Typically in baseball the third spot in the order is reserved for the team's best overall hitter. Heere doesn't have the power that some
typical third-spot hitters have, but his batting average speaks for itself. The pressures of hitting in that spot have had no affect on Heere due to his down-to-earth personality, Price said.
"He's such a low-key guy, and he doesn't get excited about anything." Price said. "His demeanor is probably one of the reasons he's done so well so far."

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others were killed by a suspected drunk driver Thursday, a shocking end to the life of a rookie who had overcome major elbow surgery to realize his big league dreams.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It is a tragedy that will never be forgotten," manager Mike Scioscia said at an Angel Stadium news conference.
The accident in neighboring Fullerton occurred hours after the 22-year-old pitcher made his season debut with his father in the stands, throwing six scoreless innings against the Oakland Athletics. The Angels ultimately lost the game, 6-4.

Following his first start, rookie killed in car crash
Adenhart was a passenger in a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse that was broadsided in an intersection about 12:30 a.m. by a minivan that apparently ran a red light, police said.

The minivan driver fled the crash on foot and was captured about 30 minutes later. Police identified him as Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, of Riverside, and said he had a suspended license because of a previous drunken driving conviction.
Adenhart had made a slow climb to reach the majors. He hurt his pitching elbow two weeks before the June 2004 major league draft, when he was projected as a top-five pick out of Williamsport High in Maryland.
But the setback dropped him to the 14th round, where the Angels selected him. Adenhart struggled with a 9.00 ERA in three starts for the Angels last season, but Scioscia said last month the right-hander had worked hard over the winter and arrived at spring training with a purpose.
"He lived his dream and was blessed to be part of an organization comprised of such warm, caring, and compassionate people," his family said in a statement issued through the team.
A small but steady stream of somber fans came to the stadium Thursday to add flowers to a makeshift memorial on the pitcher's mound on the brick "infield" outside the stadium entrance.
A poster among the bouquets read, "No. 34, You are one more Angel in heaven." Scribbled on a baseball was "Now you play for another Angels team."

PIGSKIN POLITICIAN
Darrell Stuckey hopes to add Student Senate to the long list of organizations he is involved in at the University
BY ADAM SAMSON asamson@kansan.com
Ask about Darrell Stuckey's energy and enthusiasm for anything he does, and the answer is consistent across the board — it's contagious.
“Twenty years from now, I wouldn't be surprised if I got a call from Darrell asking what I thought about him running for the governor of Kansas,” said Mike Harry, assistant athletics director. “He's that kind of guy. Because people know that he is somebody you not only want to be around, but somebody you want to follow.”
Harrity said he didn't think it was surprising with Stuckey's ambition that he was running for a Student Senate
seat with the United Students coalition. Stuckey, Karnas City, Kan., senior and 2008 All-Big 12 football First Team selection, is seeking a junior/senior College of Liberal Arts and Sciences seat.
His involvement on campus, in addition to playing football, includes serving on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee executive board and the Chancellor's Advisory Committee; volunteering with the Special Olympics; being a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Phi Beta Sigma fraternity and other leadership organizations on campus; and even writing poetry.
"If I was blessed to have the experiences that I've had within our campus on different committees and organizations, who am I to keep that experience
to myself if I can represent so many dif- ferent people at one time" Stuckey said
Last week, while nominating Stuckey for the American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team, a national leadership award, Harrity prepared Stuckey's list of community and leadership organizations he was involved with and the list spanned four pages.
campaign. Student Senate granted a seat for SAAC, which represents a group of 500 student athletes on campus.
"It's not just something he goes to and volunteers once at, it's something he is passionate about and gives back to," Harrity said.
Each year certain organizations receive appointed seats and don't have to run in the Student Senate elections. In 2006, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee campaigned to Student Senate for an appointed seat and Harrity said that Stuckey was pivotal in that
Instead of filling the appointed SAAC seat, Stuckey said he felt running with a coalition was an opportunity for him to feel out the process of a Student Senate election and give another student athlete the opportunity to be involved with Student Senate. Stuckey said that the SAAC representative voiced the opinions of the student athletes, but that he looked forward to the possibility of representing more students.

RELATIONSHIPS

Web site provides love advice from peers
When seeking relationship advice, most people turn to therapists, friends or their parents. Another possibility can be added to the list; posting relationship problems online.
Sidetaker.com is a Web site where both sides of a dispute can be posted anonymously, by one or both parties, and people from around the world pick a side and decide who they think is right.
BY MICOLE ARONOWITZ
maronowitz@kansan.com
Justin Marinos, creator of the site, which launched in September 2008, said the idea emerged after an argument he had with a girl he had dated. When advice from his friends didn't help, he looked elsewhere for guidance.
"I wanted to find out what people I didn't know thought about the situation," Marinos said.
Categories range from dating and marriage to disagreements between roommates and co-workers. Marinos said the most popular categories were dating and marriage.
Onri Gillath, social psychology professor,said he was wary of using a site like this to solve relationship conflicts.
"What worries me is that instead of turning to a professional, students will go online and find the answers there." Gillath said. "I think that is something that might lead to a catastrophe."
Ashley Wanger, Overland Park junior, said she would use the site to get recommendations about serious issues regarding relationships from a neutral source.
"It can bring out another side of the issue that neither person in the relationship had thought of." Wanger said.
Don Zabn. Wanger's boyfriend, said although he would not use the site, he could see how people would find it useful.
Gillath said though the site was an interesting concept, there was no evidence to support the solutions and that it was difficult to
"It depends on the person and their experiences," Zahn said. "A less experienced person in a relationship is probably not going to know how to approach a problem and they'd be more willing to ask for outside help."

1. Irish Army dissidents threaten to kill politician
DUBLIN — Irish Republican Army dissidents threatened Sunday to kill top Sinn Fein politician Martin McGuinness and resume attacks in England as part of their efforts to wreck the IRA cease-fire and Northern Ireland power-sharing.
An Easter statement from the outlawed Real IRA distributed to Irish media branded McGuinness a traitor because he holds the top Irish Catholic post in Northern Ireland's power-sharing government with British Protestants.
The statement warned McGuinness — a former IRA commander — that "no traitor will escape justice regardless of time, rank or past actions. The republican movement has a long memory."

CHICAGO — Once known as a tireless bloodhound who tracked down fugitive gang leaders, deputy U.S. marshal John T. Ambrose now faces trial himself on charges alleging he betrayed his oath and leaked secrets to the mob.
Ambrose, 50, is due to go on trial Monday for allegedly telling organized crime figures seven years ago that a so-called made member of the Chicago mob had switched sides and was providing detailed information to federal prosecutors. Ambrose denies he ever broke the law in handling secret information.

TRACY, Calif. — Relatives of a Sunday school teacher arrested in the killing of an 8-year-old girl found stuffed into a suitcase said Sunday they are baffled by the accusations against the woman they knew as a loving parent.
Melissa Huckaby is the mother of the slain girl's best friend. The motive in the killing had not been determined.
Huckaby, 28, was on suicide watch at the San Joaquin County Jail, where she remained in custody Sunday without bail on suspicion of kidnapping and killing Sandra Cantu.
Huckaby taught Sunday school at her grandfather's church.

Envision vice presidential candidate files complaint
BY BRIANNE PFANNENSTIEL
bpfannenstiel@kansan.com
Alex Porte, vice presidential candidate for Envision, filed a complaint with the Student Senate elections commission on Sunday against United Students vice presidential candidate May Davis for tampering with the election process.
"Our complaint is, essentially, that May used her social and political position to exploit these two girls on the elections commission for information," said Porte, Great Falls, Va., junior.
Porte said he felt the violation
deserved expulsion from the election or a severe fine.
According to a written testimony submitted by the two members of the elections commission, Davis, Clay Center junior, approached them after a
Porte
hearing in which United Students received a $350 fine for failing to include the elections commission Web site on its campaign posters
The commissioners, Caitlin
Taylor and Courtney Bone, live in the same sorority house as Davis. They said in their testimonies that they received angry text messages from Davis after the elections commission ruled in favor of firing Uited Students. They said they had disludged information to Davis about the deliberations, which were supposed to be kept confidential.
"I do understand that divulging the initial information to Ms. Davis was wrong, but I do think that speaking to her one-on-one is an intimidating situation that I was unprepared for," Taylor said in her statement.
Both Taylor and Bone said Davis had approached them on sev-
teral occasions to speak with them about matters pertaining to the elections commission and to discuss the validity of the decision to fine United Students.
PETER A. BAKER
Davis
In his complaint, Porte said this amounted to an attempt by Davis to "intimidate and harass" the commissioners into providing her with information. He said this
would put her in violation of the elections code, which said an attempt to "influence the outcome of an election by means of harassment, intimidation, bribery or fraud" was punishable by fines or even expulsion from the election.
However, when informed of the allegations, Davis said she was unaware that she, or any member of United Students, had violated the elections code.
"I have absolutely no idea what they can be referring to that I could have pressured somebody into doing." Davis said. "I don't see why that's a violation of code for an elections commissioner to
say something about deliberations, but obviously anything that an elections commissioner would say would be their own violation of the code, not mine."
Alex Herman, elections commission chair and Hays second-year law student, said the hearing would likely take place Tuesday evening.
"It's unfortunate that it's going to be that late, but at least it will happen." Porte said.
The Student Senate elections will be held Wednesday and Thursday.

CAMPUS Green Fair comes to University to inform
The Green Fair, the first of more than 20 sustainable-minded events leading up to Earth Day, April 22, begins at 10 a.m. and will go until 2 p.m.
The lawn of Stauffer-Flint Hall will be transformed today with booths and activities to get students to start thinking green.
Chelsea Mertz, Topeka junior, helped organize the event.
"We want it to be interactive and educational,"Mertz said.
Mertz said there would be about 30 booths on the lawn, all aimed at informing students about sustainability, local and organic food, alternative energy and eco-friendly goods. Westar Energy, Chevron, Lawrence Sustainability Network and CReSIS will be among the groups represented at the fair.
Mertz said she worked with Student Union Activities to add interactive activities such as canvas bag decorating, frisbee painting, a moonwalk, food giveaways and even a snow cone machine.
"We will have a biodiesel generator running energy for the boots, the snow cone machine and the moonwalk," Mertz said.

Tyler Enders, Leawood sophomore, said the Green Fair would be a good way to kick off other sustainability efforts during the next two weeks.
Second man held for The Hawk drive-by shooting

Foster requested that the amount be lowered because he was a full-time student and also needed to assist in caring for his father.

Knights Out is first gay lesbian group for military
NEW YORK — As a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy, Dan Choi faced an ethical dilemma.
Yet as a gay man, Choi felt bound by the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy to be untruthful about who he was.
The academy's honor code was clear, beginning, "A cadet will not lie."
His announcement in mid-March was part of the launch of Knights Out, the first association representing gay and lesbian alumni of West Point. Already, it has at least 50 members who've publicly identified themselves on the group's Web site.
Last month, six years after his graduation and two years after serving in Iraq, Choi came out — even though her remains an infant officer in the Army National Guard.
Its stated mission is to advocate for repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" so that gays can serve openly in the military, and to help prepare the West Point community to be effective leaders after that policy change occurs.
Under the policy, which President Barack Obama says he wants to repeal after consultation with the Pentagon,the military does not ask recruits about their sexual orientation, while service members are banned from saying they are gay or engaging in homosexual activity.
"Forcing people to lie — it's absolutely a morally bankrupt idea," Choi said in a telephone interview from his home in Orange County, California.
The chair of Knights Out's board, Becky Kanis, has bitter memories of being investigated while at West Point on suspicion that she was a lesbian. She graduated in 1991 and served contentedly for nine years in the Signal
Kanis now lives in New York City, working for an institute that combats homelessness.
She believes the end of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is imminent, and hopes Knights Out will be well positioned to serve after repeal as a resource on how the military can deal with gay/lesbian issues.

Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noises and the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do.

HISTORY
Easter Sunday concert honors 1939 milestone
CHRISTINE SIMMONS
WASHINGTON — Marian Anderson couldn't sing at Constitution Hall or even a local high school because of the color of her skin. So the opera singer performed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Easter in 1939 and sang "My Country, 'Tis of Thee."
Unlike other events then, the crowd of 75,000 gathered to hear the African-American woman sing wasn't segregated. The event came to symbolize the ideal of racial equality.
A concert planned for Sunday at the memorial was designed to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Anderson's performance, a milestone during an era of segregation.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell was to recite excerpts from
Lincoln's second inaugural address during the concert. Following the hourlong performance about 200 people were to be sworn in as U.S. citizens, symbolizing the rights all Americans are guaranteed.
"To me, it's just very dramatic," said Josephine Pesaresi, 75, the daughter of Justice Hugo Black, who attended the 1939 event. "It makes me weep, I'm so happy."
Black, once a member of the Ku Klux Klan, later joined a unanimous Supreme Court in outlawing segregation in public schools in 1954 and often voted with the court's liberal wing on civil rights cases.
Seventy-year anniversary ceremonies aren't that common, but the commission decided to hold the concert this year because it coincided with the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birthday.

Get to know Haskell; debunk stereotypes
"At Steak 'n Shake this weekend, we saw some really drunk guys going into the bathroom, and without thinking, I asked if they were having a pow-wow in there. They were all from Haskell. FML."
So the student feels bad. So we laugh about it. But what does it tell you when the only press First Nations, the University's Native American student group, got for a pow-wow this weekend was in an ad the group took out its[?]
THE HILL
AND THE
VALLEY
BRENNA DALDORPH
- Free for All, April 7
Sadly, this is reflective of the climate that reigns at the top of the hill. In my opinion, comments such as this reveal that the white majority displays an abysmal lack of awareness and understanding about Native culture, and subsequently, our closest collegiate neighbor.
Haskell Indian Nations University lies roughly three miles away from our campus, but you would think it was farther, considering the ignorance that exists here. From the top of the hill, however, many have no idea that right below is the only four-year intertribal school in the nation.
As Becky Welton, the coordinator of the Haskell Bridge Program, said to me, "I used to live in north
ern Arizona, about an hour from the Grand Canyon. What used to surprise me was that there were people who lived there who had never been there. I find that here in Lawrence. You drive by Haskell when you go down 23rd Street, but very few people come and take advantage. It is kind of amazing."
It is awareness, not programs, that are lacking. The University offers a graduate program called Global Indigenous Nations Studies, but I would guess that few know that. Patti Wakolee, academic advisor, is the coordinator of the Haskell Mentor Program for transfer students from Haskell as well as the Haskell/KU Exchange Program. Through the exchange, Haskell students can come to the University, and KU students can experience Haskell's uniquely Native-based education program. Haskell offers courses such as Diabetes on the Reservation and the popular Western Civilization from a non-Western perspective. Despite these opportunities, only about ten students from each university participate in the exchange each year.
"I am surprised there are so many people that don't know about the history and the culture," said Marjeanna Burge, Fort Worth graduate student. "It seems like there would be more of a push for that from a big university like KU."
Despite being a grad student, Burge said, she feels no sense of community here, but instead finds it at Haskell. And it's little wonder when the predominately white campus population chuckles at racial stereotypes in the Free for All.
Wakolee surprised me with her upbeat attitude in response to the comment.
"It's a teachable moment," she said. "I challenge that student to participate, to take a class. One of the reasons students go to college is to debunk myths that they have had growing up."
There are incredible opportunities for the two universities in Lawrence to work together on research and cultural activities. There is the opportunity for wonderful dialogue and conversations. I dare each of you to follow Wakolee's advice: step out of the bubble on top of the hill. Debunk those myths.

Be cool; don't vote
I'm going to level with you, fair reader. Two elections ago, when I was still a registered voter in Lawrence. I chose not to vote in the Congressional midterm elections. Why? I just didn't feel like it. Class, eating and taking a nap were all priorities. Voting for people who had little to no effect on me was not. Besides, voting damaged my Fonzie-esque cool vibes.
To reinforce my coolness, I decided to cruise by the polling place on my rockin' motorcycle. As I passed, I did a wheelie, which kicked up mud in the face of some nerd who was proudly sporting an "I Voted" sticker. Or at least I like to imagine I did. (I actually drive a Honda Fit, which is a car whose principal ownership consists of middle-aged women. It is very hard to do anything cool in a Honda Fit.)
Naturally, I took a lot of guff for this. I find that people are so obsessed with the democratic process that they will publicly call me out on it and accuse me of ruining the nation with my apathy and laziness. Gen. George Marshall never voted, and look at all the wonderful things he did for our nation!
One of my friends got flipped off and chewed out by some guy after she revealed she hadn't voted in that same election. Frankly, behavior like that makes me want to vote even less. It's my vote, and I can do whatever I want with it. This includes sitting on it like a lump, which I did during this particular election.
Honestly, I wasn't informed about the election at all and couldn't have cared less about who was running. Would you rather I strut into the voting

booth with my sunglasses on and just vote for whoever's name I thought sounded most like the word "fat" (I actually briefly considered doing this)? I might have accidentally given Galactius an electoral mandate to devour the planet. Then wouldn't you have egg on your face, ultra-judgmental voter types?
And guess what? Nothing bad happened after I ignored my democratic duties. Hitler wasn't elected as the Kansas representative to Congress, and I felt like a new man after a three-hour power nap. Take that, middle-finger guy. You know who you are. You would probably flip off a baby if you found out he didn't vote.
Let's be real about this. There are enough elderly people out there who actually do care about midterm elections that someone will inevitably get elected (although I would like to see what would happen if no one got elected).
So why are we, as twenty-somethings, the coolest people alive, wasting our cool time being squirreled away behind striped curtains? This is time that could be spent purchasing leather jackets, drinking, smoking in high-school parking lots and combing our greasy hair. We can vote when we're old and gassy.

Think twice before you dig into dinner
Food officially freaks me out.
And I have one book ("The Omnivore's Dilemma") to thank for this phobia.
The book argues that we Americans eat a lot of crap that damages our bodies, devastates the environment, hurts barnyard animals and encourages us to turn a blind eye to all of the above. By the end, even vegans look like hypocrites.
Cows and salmon raised shortterm on mass farms are fed corn they cannot naturally digest and an antibiotic cocktail to make the food go down more easily, if at all. Apples are coated with corn (wax) to stay shiny, and organic rice processed in factories is seasoned with chopped mice by way of impartial machinery.
Then there the world of suspiciously processed foods. Of the 38 ingredients in a chicken nugget, 13 come from corn, some are a type of meat and then there's my favorite: TBHQ (a type of butane that the FDA permits in small doses).
Something's got to be safe.
though, right? That's why we have the FDA, which allows peanut butter, frozen pizza and even kitchen spices to contain delicious things such as rodent hair and excrement, maggots and cigarette butts Yum. (To really throw up, go read The New York Times" "The Maggots in Your Mushrooms")
We are, thanks to no one but ourselves, a nation of corn-fed, chemical doused Twinkies. Is it any wonder that two-thirds of all Americans older than 20 are obese or overweight?
I'm not suggesting you eat dandelions and start your own petting zoo, but you should realize that the way we produce food today is not all right, and it wouldn't be so bad to find a remedy.
I started the book in order to find a solid argument for vegetarianism, one to wield against haters who harass me at the mere mention of tofu. Instead, I found an argument for why every one of us — carnivore, omnivore, herbivore or 7-Eleven — is at fault. I realized why everything looks like a flaming corn husk or a crying cow. If we really are what we eat, then we are all rotting from the inside.

Somali pirates release Navy captain unharmed after five-day standoff
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOMBASA, Kenya — An American ship captain was freed unharmed Sunday and three of his captors were killed in a daring rescue by U.S. Navy Seals that ended a five-day standoff between the world's most powerful Navy and Somali pirates in a lifeboat far off the Horn of Africa.
Capt. Richard Phillips was in "imminent danger" of being killed before U.S. Special Operations forces shot the pirates in an operation personally approved by President Barack Obama, U.S. officials said.
Phillips' crew, who said they had escaped after he offered himself as a hostage, erupted in cheers aboard their ship docked in Mombasa, Kenya. Some waved an American
flag and fired flares in celebration.
Phillips, 53., of Underhill, Vermont, was not hurt in several minutes of gunfire and the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet said he was resting comfortably on a U.S. warship after receiving a medical exam.
"I'm just the byline. The real heroes are the Navy, the Seals, those who have brought me home," Phillips said by phone to Maersk Line Limited President and CEO John Reinhart, the company head told reporters. A photo released by the Navy showed Phillips unharmed and shaking hands with the commanding officer of the USS Bainbridge.
Obama said Phillips had courage that was "a model for all Americans" and he was pleased about the rescue, adding that the United States
needs help from other countries to deal with the threat of piracy and to hold pirates accountable.
U. S. officials said a fourth pirate had surrendered and was in military custody. FBI spokesman John Miller said that would change as the situation became "more of a criminal issue than a military issue."
A spokeswoman for the Phillips family, Alison McColl, said Phillips and his wife, Andrea, spoke by phone shortly after he was freed.
"I think you can all imagine their joy and what a happy moment that was for them." McColl said outside of the Phillips home in Underhill. "They're all just so happy and relieved. Andrea wanted me to tell the nation that all of your prayers and good wishes have paid off because Capt. Phillips is safe."
Crew members said their ordeal had begun Wednesday with the Somali pirates hauling themselves up from a small boat bobbing on the surface of the Indian Ocean far below.
As the pirates shot in the air, Phillips told his crew to lock themselves in a cabin and surrendered himself to safeguard his men, crew members said.
Phillips was then held hostage in an enclosed lifeboat that was closely watched by U.S. warships and a helicopter in an increasingly tense standoff. The pirates were believed to be armed with pistols and AK-47 assault rifles, On Friday, the French navy freed a sailboat seized off Somalia last week by other pirates, but one of the five hostages was killed.
Talks to free Phillips began Thursday with the captain of the USS Bainbridge talking to the pirates under instruction from FBI hostage negotiators on board the U.S. destroyer. The pirates had threatened to kill Phillips if attacked.
A government official and others in Somalia with knowledge of the situation had reported hours earlier that negotiations for Phillips' release had broken down.
Three U.S. warships were within easy reach of the lifeboat on Saturday. The U.S. Navy had assumed the pirates would try to get their hostage to shore, where they could have hidden him on Somalia's lawless soil and been in a stronger position to negotiate a ransom.
Iamac Habeh, a 30-year-old pirate, said that the killing of the
three pirates was "a painful experience."
"This is unfortunate action and our friends should have done more to kill the captain before they were killed. This will be a good lesson for us," Habeb told the AP from one of Somalia's piracy hubs, Eyl.
Early Saturday, the pirates holding Phillips in the lifeboat fired a few shots at a small U.S. Navy vessel that had approached, a U.S. military official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
The official said the U.S. sailors did not return fire, the Navy vessel turned away and no one was hurt. He said the vessel had not been attempting a rescue.

"We were very lucky to find a lot of people who are willing to support us in our endeavors," Siler said.
The money funded handmade banners, informational fliers and buttons in different languages.
Siler said some of the money came from fundraisers that involved alumni from both his fraternity, Beta Theta Pi, and Senate. He said the coalition also raised money at social events promoting Senate.
Siler said he thought these were the basic methods to get more people involved in Senate.
May Davis, Clay Center junior and United Students vice presidential candidate, estimated United Students spent about $3,000 on its campaign.
JI Siler, Overland Park junior and Envision presidential candidate, said Envision had spent about $2,000 on its campaign.
During the debate, Wood said the Students of Liberty campaign raised and spent about $700.
CAMPAIGN FUNDING
"Which is a lot more than I thought wed ever do," Wood said. "Last year we ran a campaign on $70."
Mason Heilman, Lawrence junior and United Students presidential candidate, said the money came from family, friends and
it's not really about ideas, it's just about who can spend the most money on materials."
Wood said half the money came from fundraisers and the other half was donations.
DEBATE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Adam Wood, Lawrence senior, presidential candidate with Students of Liberty, answers a question posed by a panel of moderators at a Student Senate debate Friday in Alderson Auditorium. Presidential and vice presidential candidates from the United Students and Envision coalitions also participated in the debate.
There will be another debate among the presidential candidates at 1:30 p.m. today in the KUJH-TV newsroom, room 2000 of the Dole Human Development Center, which is located south of Watson Library.

"Student government is a government and student fees are taxes." Wood said.
Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va., junior and Envision vice presidential candidate, said the way to respond to the economic crisis was to wait a couple of months before planning the year's budget.
Wood said there shouldn't be an increase in fees, but wanted to take it a step further by putting money back in students' pockets. He said it would come from fees that would be expiring this year, such as the boathouse fee. He also said it only made sense to lower taxes during a recession.
"I think that because this crisis essentially happened in a four- to five-month period, to project for an entire year would be extremely short-sighted of us," Porte said. "However, I think the zero-percent fee increase that was mandated by the Board of Regents and the
"One of our biggest responsibilities as Student Senate is making sure that we are not overstepping our bounds in terms of asking for money," Heilman said. "I think you can see that through our platform with common sense, low cost issues."

A HISTORIC RUN
On fast track for greatness
After making 2008 Jamaican Olympic team, record-breaker enters her final season with Kansas
BY JASON BAKER
ibaker@kansan.com
In her two years at Kansas, Nickesha Anderson has achieved historic accomplishments in the track and field world — some that earned her a spot on Jamaica's 2008 Olympic team. Now, she has high expectations for her final season of outdoor track, which started with this week's Kansas Relays.
Running has been in Anderson's life since kindergarten and a tradition among the women in her family as well, beginning with her grandmother then her mother and now her.
Anderson first arrived in the states in Fall 2005 in St. Louis at Missouri
Baptist University. She was offered several scholarships at different universities, including Iowa State. But Anderson had seen several brochures of Missouri Baptist and she had known one person who would be there. Maresia Pencil, a middle distance runner from Clarendon, lamaica.
"I wasn't going into an environment where I didn't know anybody even though I was going to be away from my family for a long time." Anderson said.
Anderson said shed known Pencil since high school back in Jamaica. Both she and Pencil eventually transferred to Kansas and are currently roommates.
While at Missouri Baptist, Anderson held the record in the indoor 60-meter and 200-meter dash events and the outdoor 100-and 200-meter dash events. At the 2007 Kansas Relays, Anderson ran a season-best time of 11.29 seconds in the 100-meter dash, earning the victory and piquing Kansas coach Stanley Redwine's interest.
Despite this, it would take until her junior year to persuade her to take her career to Lawrence.
"I was set to finish the year and I had met a whole lot of friends," Anderson said. "It's always hard for me to change in an environment that I'm really settled in with other people."
Even though she had friends at Missouri Baptist, Anderson decided a Division I school could give her a new level of competition that she wanted.
"With the talent I had and everybody having seen it, I might as well just go ahead," Anderson said.
Anderson said that even though there was competition at Missouri Baptist, it was nothing like Division I, so Anderson made the transfer to Kansas in Fall 2007.
Anderson remembers her first practice as being hard, but not too hard to handle.
"It wasn't excruciating, but it wasn't easy." Anderson said.

Despite two suspensions, Jayhawks pick up pace
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
Jocques Crawford's future with Kansas is in question after coach Mark Mangino confirmed the junior running back's suspension following Saturday's spring game. Crawford and suspended sophomore wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe were both absent from the annual scrimmage.
"It was a situation where he has breached team policy more than once in a relatively short period of time." Mangino said of Crawford. "I am taking a look at his situation and he will not participate the rest of the spring. I'll be honest with you, I don't
When asked if Crawford's suspension was related to an incident at Jayhawker Towers last week that led to sophomore offensive lineman Ben Lueken being struck or thrown off the hood of a vehicle, Mangino could not comment, citing an ongoing investigation.
The absence of one of the nation's top receivers and Kansas' third-leading rusher from 2008 paved the way for those filling their spots Saturday to leave an impression at Memorial Stadium.
know his status, whether he'll be back or not."
Clear skies and crisp temperatures greeted the team on Saturday with an estimated
17,000 fans for an afternoon scrimmage that saw the Blue squad of starters defeat the White squad 20-7. Sophomore wide receiver Johnathan Wilson finished with a team-high seven receptions for 133 yards and an opening drive touchdown for an early lead his squad would not relinquish.
"I feel like I've become more like a playmaker and could be used more on the offense now," Wilson said. "Hopefully next year I'll just get more involved and can contribute more."

Players show fans off-season hard work
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
After the game — is it really a game? — coach Mark Mangino even downplayed the meaning of the ceremonial start for next season Still, spring football, much like spring training in baseball, offers a glimpse into next year's team:
And we know the Blue team slugged out a 20-7 victory against the White Team. Yet, even that meant little as some players donned both colors during the game.
So here's what we know. There were cheerleaders, fans, a marching band that didn't march, tailgaters and a handful of kids playing football on the bill
JOHNATHAN WILSON
HAS GOTTEN BETTER
Sure, Wilson performed well as Kansas' third receiver last season. But with the absence of sophomore wide receiver Dzemr Briscoe this spring, Wilson stepped into an enhanced role this offseason.
There's always an odd dilemma faced by football coaches during spring games. If one part of the team is good, such as the offensive line, does that mean the opposing part is bad, such as the defensive line?
KERRY MEIER STILL HAS BEST HANDS IN BIG 12
On Saturday, he hauled in seven catches for 133 yards, a touchdown and looked to be the fastest player.
OFFENSIVE LINE GOOD OR DEFENSIVE LINE BAD
When freshman center Jeremiah Hatch struggles in practice, he calls former teammate Ryan Cantrell, last year's starting center.
HATS OFF ...
OK, I know this one isn't surprising to anyone who watched five minutes of a game last season. But watching Meier pluck passes thrown anywhere near his body was truly a highlight on a day when not much else happened offensively.
Gotta love the switch to five defensive backs on defense. Not only does it perfectly fit with Kansas' personnel right now, but it also matches up with the spread-happy offenses used by almost every team in the Big 12.
Well, as it nears spring and the weather warms, let's stick with the positive. Kansas' reconstructed offensive line allowed quarterbacks little pressure throughout the game, while doing a respectable job running the ball.
JEREMIAH HATCH A WORK IN PROGRESS
"He just tells me to keep going and just come to the next practice," Hatch said.
One of the biggest position changes this spring came when Mangino announced that Hatch would switch from offensive tackle to the heart of Kansas' line. And, as Hatch said after the game, he's still learning the specifics a new position.
On Saturday, Hatch snapped a ball when Todd Reesing was looking to the sideline, resulting in a big loss. Still, for the most part, Hatch appeared solid in the middle.
"It's not always going to be good' Hatch said, "but it's not always going to be bad."
The same could be said for any spring football game.

COMMENTARY
Masters draw fair weather TV fans
CBS got exactly what it wanted Sunday afternoon. Golf's two biggest names, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, playing together on the final day of the Masters.
Sure, they weren't the final pairing. But just putting Woods in his "Victory" red next to Mickelson in his "Not-so-slimming" black makes people care about golf.

could make a late charge.
For their part, Woods and Mickelson made it interesting.

Lefty hit an array of good shots, including a dazzling hook on No. 7, and tied the course record with a 30 on the front nine. Woods saved a few pars and eventually drained an eagle to push his way into the top five.

The avid golf fans stuck around, but you don't need Nielson ratings to predict what happened once Woods and Mickelson fell out of contention. Just look at the enormous crowd that followed them while the leaders played in relative anonymity.
Golf revolves around Woods, and nobody else really matters. I'm not saying this is good or bad, it's just the way it is.
In five years no one will talk about Kenny Perry's choke in the last two holes, unless the conversation is about how Woods could have won if he had just hung on.

NHL
Hockey postseason kicks off Wednesday night
Playoff matchups for Eastern Conference locked into place, Battle of Pennsylvania closes curtain
IRA PODELL Associated Press
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Most of the late-season NHL drama was gone before the curtain closed Sunday on the regular season.
That didn't make it any less special for the 16 teams that still have a whole lot more left on the line once the postseason kicks off Wednesday night.
All the playoff matchups in the Eastern Conference were locked into place after a busy Saturday. The only mystery that remained there Sunday — with four games on the league schedule — was which club would own home-ice advantage in the Battle of Pennsylvania between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers.
The Penguins, the defending East champions, could only watch as the Flyers wrapped up the season at home. But Pittsburgh got some good news when the New
York Rangers rallied in the third period for a 4-3 win. So, the Penguins earned the No. 4 seed and will start the series against the Flyers at home.
Philadelphia needed to get only one point in the
finale to claim the fourth seed and have at least that edge against the Penguins, who knocked the Flyers out in the conference finals last year, but failed.
Boston (53-19-10), the No. 1 seed in the East, finished its season on the road with a solid 6-2 win against the New York Islanders
The Rangers had nothing on the line as they already knew they were seeded No. 7 and would face the upstart Washington Capitals in the first round.

out in the draft lottery on Tuesday night whether it will own the first or second pick in the June draft.
"We were out of the playoffs in January, but we got better," Islanders coach Scott Gordon said. "They didn't just let the second half pass by. They went out and tried and got better."
Tim Thomas played the whole way against the Islanders and earned his 36th win. Phil Kessel had a hat trick in Boston's final tupue, but Bruins captain Zdeno Chara sat out for the second straight day to get ready for the playoffs.
The Bruins will face the Montreal Canadiens in the first round, the 32nd postseason meeting between the Original Six clubs. Boston and Montreal also squared off last year in the first round in a 1 vs. 8 matchup, with the Canadiens winning in seven games, but the seedings were reversed from this season's finish.
"The only thing you take out of it is that it's Montreal-Boston," Bruins defenseman Aaron Ward said of the series led by the Canadiens 24-7. "There is history, there is emotion, but there is irrelevance to the positioning in the regular season."
"There are a lot of things we're going to have to make sure we do well," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "We're going to start working on that stuff Tuesday."
The third-seeded New Jersey Devils will face the No. 6 Carolina Hurricanes in the East series.
play the Vancouver Canucks, who were seeded third after winning the Northwest Division. A loss would have left St. Louis in eighth place and in a matchup with the top-seeded San Jose Sharks.
MILAN HEJDUK Colorado forward
"You are supposed to finish as high up in the standings as you can," Blues coach Andy Murray said. "That is why you play the game. We wanted to win today. Not because we felt any differently about playing against Vancouver. It is our job as a team to finish as high up in the standings."
Out West, there were still some playoff matchups to be settled — and postseason newcomer St. Louis held all the cards. After three seasons out of the playoffs, following 25 consecutive appearances, the Blues jumped up into sixth place with a 1-0 win Sunday over Colorado (32-45-5), the last team place in the West.
"They didn't just let the second half pass by. They went out and tried and got better."
That gave them the right to

"it's hard for me. I've never been a part of a team like this. It wasn't fun. I never want to go through a season like this."
SCOTT GORDON New York coach
Heading into the final day, the only known Western pairing had the fourth-seeded Chicago Blackhawks - back in the postseason for the first time since 2002 - taking on the No. 5 Calgary Flames and former coach Mike Keenan.
The Blackhawks finished their successful resurgent season with a 3-0 win over defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit on Sunday. The Red Wings had a shot at finishing with the best record for the second straight season and third in, but faltured at the end.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Any win is very good," Chicago forward Martin Havlat said. "The last two games didn't mean that much in the standings, but we wanted to finish strong."
Detroit will take on first-time

the No. 8 Anaheim Ducks.
"We had a pretty good season, and going into the playoffs with home-ice advantage for the first two rounds." Detroit coach Mike Babcock said.
Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin, in his third NHL season, won the scoring title with 113 points. He edged fellow Russian star Alex Ovechkin, who had 110 — including an NHL-best 56 goals. Philadelphia's Jeff Carter was second with 46 goals, including one Sunday in the Flyers' win over the Rangers.
Malkin scored 35 goals and led the league with 78 assists while playing all 82 games this season. He had at least one point in all but 18 games and didn't go two straight without scoring. It is the 13th time since 1988 that a Penguins player won the Art Ross Trophy that goes to the points champion.
Thomas and his Bruins backup Manny Fernandez earned the William Jennings Trophy as the goalies for the club finishing the season having surrendered the fewest goals (196).
Thomas posted a 2.10 goals against average in 54 games, and Fernandez had a 2.59 GAA in 28 appearances. Boston edged Minnesota, which allowed 200 goals. Fernandez also won the Jennings Trophy during the 2006-07 when he was with Minnesota

Kansas quickly wins dual match
Team has 10-10 record with two matches remaining
BY JUSTIN HILLEY jhilley@kansan.com
The lajwhays coasted to a 6-1 dual-match victory against the Tulane Green Wave over the week-end, equaling last year's overall record of 10-10.
They have two regular-season matches remaining before the Big 12 Championships are held later this month.
The doubles round was quickly over as Kansas won all three matches, holding Tulane to a combined five points on all three courts. Senior Edina Horvath and freshman Kate Morozova won
first, 8-1, followed by sophomore Marta Martínez and freshman Erin Wilbern's win, 8-1. With the doubles point already won, senior Yulianna Swisten and junior Kuri Dorn won, 8-3, to complete the doubles round sweep. Top doubles player Morozova is 8-4 when pairing with Horvath and 10-5 when pairing with Svisten.
Coach Amy Hall-Holt said that she was very pleased with the players' performances in doubles, especially considering the up and downs they have had this season.
"They set the bar high now so I know what we need to accomplish. We've got to keep going after it," Hall Holt said after the match.
The layhawks expedition play continued into the singles round. Morozwa defeated Tulane's Lindsay Dvorak, 6-3, 6-1, with ease. Martinez immediately followed Morozwa with a 6-4, 6-2

victory against Liz Hamlin. Just an hour after the match started, the Jayhawks sealed the dual-match victory when Svistun subdued her opponent 6-3, 6-2.
"We were talking about the match in the team room and thinking, "We have to fight every point,"" Svistun said. "We didn't know what they were, so we were ready for anything."
Tulane's entire roster is comprised of eight freshmen. This is the school's first season of tennis since it suspended the program in
2005 because of post-Hurricane Katrina budget cuts.
"We knew they had nothing to lose so we just went out there competing." Martinez added.
Dorn and Wilbert also won their individual matches in straight sets. Horvath, however, was unable to defeat the Green Wave's top player Mariam Kurdadze, losing 3-6, 6-3, 10-4.
With 14 singles victories, Wilbert has surpassed Horvath's 2008 team-high season total of 12, with Texas and Texas A&M still left to play.
"This week has been good, bouncing back from last week, and playing the way we did and competing hard. So now we're back to 10-10, so that's exciting," Hall-Holt said.

MIAMI — Josh Johnson's dominant outing was just enough to beat Johan Santana.
Johnson pitched a five-hitter for his second complete game in 45 career starts and the Florida Marlins scored two unearned runs to edge Santana and the Mets 2-1 Sunday, handing the New York ace his first loss since June 28.

Marlins defeat Mets 2-1 Josh Johnson pitches five-hitter, retires 15 batters in a row
Santana (1-1) had made 18 starts in a row without a loss, winning 10 consecutive decisions.
While Johnson retired 15 batters in a row, Santana was just as good. The left-hander struck out 13 in seven innings, allowing only three hits. But left fielder Daniel Murphy dropped a two-out flyball in the second for an error that led to both Florida runs.
Johnson (2-0) struck out seven,
walked one and threw 113 pitches
in a fast-paced pitchers' duel that took only 2 hours, 4 minutes.
The Marlins totaled only three hits but ended their season-opening homestand at 5-1, the best start in franchise history. The Mets play their home opener Monday night against San Diego at new Citi Field.
CARDINALS 3. ASTROS 0
ST. LOUIS — Kyle Lohse threw a career-best three-hitter, retiring 24 in a row after giving up a single on his first pitch, and St. Louis completed a three-game sweep.
Lohse (2-0) threw his fifth career shutout, and first since May 28, 2007, against Pittsburgh while he was with the Cincinnati Reds.
Khalil Greene had three hits and an RBI, and Ryan Ludwick extended his hitting streak to 16 games with an RBI single for the Cardinals, who went 5-2 on their opening homestand and limited the opposition to two or fewer runs in three of the last four.

Kansas sweeps Oklahoma State in weekend series
375
BY JOSH BOWE
Sophomore left fielder Casey Lytle runs down a fly ball to retire the side Saturday against Oklahoma State. Kansas won 13-6.
ibowe@kansan.com
Sunday's game shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone in Hoglund Ballpark. Down one run in the bottom of the ninth, Buck Afenir and Tony Thompson were due up with only one out and the bases loaded.
Afenir, a senior catcher, and Thompson, a sophomore third baseman, did what they've done all year for the layhawks; they produced.
Kansas (23-12, 7-5) walked off in victorious fashion Sunday, winning 4-3 in extra innings against No. 17 Oklahoma State, completing the Kansas' first three-game sweep of the Cowboys (21-14, 4-8) since 1993.
Thompson and Afenir collected all four Jayhawk RBIs with Thompson's second hit of the day bringing home the winning run after Afenir was hit by a pitch to tie the game. But both were quick to give recognition to the top of the order.
The 1-2-3 hitters of junior shortstop David Narodowski, junior second baseman Roby Price, and sophomore outfielder Brian Heere were on base five times in 12 plate appearances and scored three of the four runs.
"They're amazingly skilled guys up there at the top." Thompson said. "They're all fast, they bunt, they can run, they can hit. They get on base and set the table for us.
Afenir collect all the RBIs for Kansas, but they also had four of its nine hits. It's been a tough stretch in the lineup for opposing pitchers, and not too many can say they've escaped without a scratch.
Not only did Thompson and
"The top of our lineup's really tough, those first three guys do a really nice job of working counts, getting on base," coach Ritch Price said. "Were 35 games into it and Afenir and Thompson have had great great years."
team on their shoulders, it was fitting for the game to end in dramatic form. Neither the Cowboys nor Jayhawks backed down in what were miserable playing conditions.
Not only was it fitting for Thompson and Atenir to have the

take awkward rolls and bounces. The game was competitive, tough and close throughout with neither team taking more than a one-run lead.
"A lot of guys showed a lot of heart out there." Afenir said. "Then Tony clutched up in the end. It showed a lot of heart. I was really proud to be a layhawk today."
Unlike the Baylor game from a week ago when the weather and wind produced more home runs than there should have been, the rain and wind Sunday knocked down a lot of balls that were hit
hard into the air.
"A lot of guys showed a lot of heart out there. I was really proud to be a Jayhawk today."
Senior first baseman Preston Land almost made extra innings an afterthought when he crushed a ball to deep left field in the fourth inning, but the combination of rain and wind reduced the play to a simple fly out.
"It was a tough day to play, obviously, with the weather and the way the wind was blowing." Ritch Price said. "I thought we hit three balls right on the button that stayed in the ballpark that I couldn't believe. The ball Land hit, I don't know

how that thing didn't get out of the park."
Kansas now sits tied for fourth in the Big 12. The lajhawks received votes in the national polls last week, but weren't ranked.
And just as performance on or be here.
Thompson's performance on Sunday should not have been a surprise, he thinks everyone watching this team shouldn't be surprised when looking at the standings. Just like Thompson, the Jayhawks have been successful all season.
"I think we have an awesome team this year, and we can go out and compete with anyone out there and we've shown that," he said. "I think we're going to do it for the rest of the year too."

ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Joba Chamberlain's season debut went just fine. It was the pitchers who followed him that cost the New York Yankees.
John Buck homered and drove in three runs, helping the Kansas City Royals rally past New York 6-4 on a rainy Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.
The Royals scored three runs with two outs in the eighth inning off relievers Jose Veras and Phil Coke (0-1), spoiling a solid start by Chamberlain.
"I still have to be more consistent. I let fastballs get up. When the weather started getting out of control, you have to slow the game down and not get ahead of yourself," Chamberlain said. "The bullpen has done a good job so far. There's no second-guessing the bullpen."
With the Yankees clinging to a 4-3 lead, Damaso Marte retired the first two Kansas City batters in the eighth before Veras was brought in to face pinch-hitter Billy Butler.
Veras walked Butler and was lifted for Coke, who gave up a double to Brayan Pena that scored pinch-runner Tony Pena Jr. with the tying run.
Alberto Callaspo added an RBI single. Buck, who had three hits, doubled home Callaspo with the
final run.
"We came back and got it done." Royals starter Gil Meche said.
"I blew the game." Coke said. "I didn't give myself a chance by getting ahead of the hitters. When you don't do that, you give them a chance. I don't have any excuses. I stunk it up pretty bad and ended up costing Joba a win."
Kansas City Royals' *Rayen Pana* (3) is greeted at the dugout after run during the eight inning of a baseball game against the New York Yankees; in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday. The Royals beat the Yankees 6-4.
Chamberlain, who made 12 starts last season before going on the disabled list with rotator cuff tendinitis and then going back to the bullpen, held the Royals to three runs — two earned — and four hits in six innings. He struck out five, walked one and hit two batters with pitches.
The right-hander came out after throwing 88 pitches, 56 for strikes.
Joakim Soria earned his third save by striking out the side in the ninth. Juan Cruz (1-0) worked a perfect eighth for the win, helped by a diving catch in right field from Willie Bloomquist.
The Yankees took a 4-3 lead with a three-run seventh. Nick Swisher and Hideki Matsui opened the inning with singles, followed by Xavier Nady's RBI
"Joba was pretty good," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "His velocity was great. Joba could have gone out again, but we thought that we had it set up. We just never got to Mo (Mariano Rivera)"
double. Royals first baseman Mike Jacobs committed an error on Robinson Cano's bouncer, allowing another run to score, Nady came around with the goahead run when Melky Cabrera grounded into a double play.
Meche held New York to three hits through six innings before giving up three runs in the seventh.
"For me, a 3-1 lead going into the seventh inning, it's a situation we should have the game under control, especially the way I was rolling for a while," he said. "They just started hacking first pitch, got some balls in play. Swisher didn't hit the ball too hard, broke his bat, base hit. Then Matsui rolls over in the hole. Nady just hooked it down the line. I just tried to keep it under control as much as I could. I knew they were going to get some runs."
The Royals took a 3-1 lead with two unearned runs in the fourth thanks to Swisher's two-out error at first base. Callaspo's grounder went between Swisher's legs, scoring David Diesus, who led the inning with a walk. Buck singled home Mark Teahen, who was hit by Chamberlain's pitch, for the other run.
Buck had a solo homer in the third.
"Me and Brayan have an advantage already because we are catchers, so we're cool already," Buck
said, laughing.
Brett Gardner, who led off the game with a single and stole second, scored the first Yankees run
on Meche's wild pitch.
Mchee went seven innings, allowing four runs and six hits with six strikeouts and two walks.

Jayhawks' pitching pleasantly surprises
Hall, Walz, Ridenhour bring strong pitching to win series against No.17 Oklahoma State

Kansas' pitching was the biggest question mark for the team coming into the season. The Jayhawks knew where their power would come from
- sophomore Tony Thompson leads the Big 12 with 43 BNs and is tied for
fourth with nine homers. They knew that small ball and speed would have to prevail on offense — junior Robby Price is second in the conference with nine sacrifice bunts. But no one had any answers about the pitching.

Then, in the series finale Sunday, freshman Lee Ridenhour overcame a bout of food poisoning that had plagued him since Friday night to allow just one run in five innings of work. The coaches didn't know if Ridenhour was going to be able to go until the
morning of the game.
"I'd been battling food poisoning the last couple days," Ridenhour said, "and then in the fifth innery in between innings I came in (to the locker room) and was actually sick. I was struggling the whole game, so I was happy to get through five and hand it over to the bullpen."
Even though Ridenhour was sick all weekend long, he wasn't going to be held off the mound.
"He wanted to go. There was no doubts." Price said.

WORKING OVERTIME
Sophomore right fielder Brian Heere crushes a ball for one of his three hits Saturday against Oklahoma State. Heere had a double with one home run while sending in four RBI and scoring two runs in Kansas' 13-6 victory.
The Jayhawks went to extra innings for the second time of the season in Sunday's game against Oklahoma State. After losing by one run in 10 innings to then-No. 21 Arkansas last time around, Kansas flipped the script, allowing a run in the top of the 10th before scoring two in the bottom to defeat
then-No. 17 Oklahoma State by one run.

Friday night, T.J. Walz picked up 10 strikeouts in just under seven innings in Saturday's 13-6 triumph. It was a career high in strikeouts for both Walz and Hall.

CHICAGO — Jim Thome hit a two-run homer to break open a pitcher's duel, Mark Buehrle was dominant into the seventh inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 6-1 on Sunday.
Carlos Quentin singled off Nick Blackburn in the sixth before Thome hit his second homer of the season, snapping a 1-1 tie. Thome also hit a three-run shot in the season opener to help the White Sox beat Kansas City.
Jermaine Dye added a homer in the eighth for the White Sox, who scored in each of the last four innings to split a season-opening six-game homestand. Chicago, which outscored the Twins 14-1 the last two games, now heads on a 10-game road trip.
Buehrle (1-0) gave up a solo home run to Delmon Young in the second and then retired 15 straight batters before being pulled with one out in the seventh.
Blackburn (0-1) was pulled after giving up a single to Alexei Ramirez to start the seventh. He allowed four runs — three earned — and six hits.
INDIANS 8, BLUE JAYS 4
CLEVELAND — Anthony Reyes pitched six innings and the Indians earned their first victory of the season.
Travis Hafner and Mark DeRosa each hit a two-run homer for the Indians, who avoided their worst start in 95 years. Cleveland lost its first six games in 1914.
Blue Jays starter David Purcey struck out 10 over 4 2-3 innings. The left-hander also walked six and allowed five runs and four hits.

league-high 42 runs in winning five of their first six games, but managed only four runs and three hits against the right-hander.
BALTIMORE — James Shields pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, Evan Longoria hit his major league-leading fifth home run and Tampa Bay averted a three-game sweep.
Longoria went 3-for-5 to up his batting average to .481. He has five straight multihit games and at least one RBI in five of his six starts.
Ben Zobrist, Jason Bartlett and Carlos Pena also homered for the Rays, who got 17 hits. All four home runs came off Brian Bass, who allowed seven runs in 3 and one-third innings of relief.
Shields (1-1) struck out three and walked one. Dan Wheeler allowed one hit in the eighth before Grant Balfour was tagged for three runs in the ninth.
Adam Eaton (0-1) allowed four
runs and eight his over four innings in his debut with Baltimore.
Carlos Guillen also had a two-run double for Detroit, which trailed 4-0 after seven innings. Placido Polanco went 3-for-4 with an RBI and Miguel Cabrera had two hits.

Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler hit two-run homers for Texas, which wasted a terrific start by Kevin Millwood. The right-hander threw seven shutout innings.
DETROIT — Brandon Inge homered and hit a two-run single in a six-run eighth inning as the Tigers rallied to complete a three-game sweep.
Brandon Lyon (1-1) threw two perfect innings and Fernando Rodney got three outs for his second save in as many days. Detroit relievers have pitched seven innings in the last two games without allowing a baserunner.

Angel Cabrera wins in three-way Masters playoff
BY DOUG FERGUSON
PING
SOUTH AFRICA
AIRWAYS
Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. - The Masters delivered the show everyone wanted and a champion no one expected.
Former Masters' champion Trevor Immelman of South Africa helps 209 Masters golf champion Angel Cabrera of Argentina with his Masters' green jacket at the Augusta National Golf Club in Aurusta, Ga., on Sunday.
Angel Cabrera became the first Argentine to win the green jacket at Augusta National on Sunday by surviving a wild final round that began with a supercharged duel between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and ended with a stunning collapse by Kenny Perry.
Indeed, this Masters had it all.
Two shots behind with two holes to play. Cabrera fought his way into a three-way playoff when the 48-year-old Perry, on the verge of becoming golf's oldest major champion, bogeyed the final two holes.
Even in a playoff, Cabrera looked like the odd man out.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
He drove into the trees, hit
another shot off a Georgia pine, but still scrambled for par with' an 8-foot putt. He won with a routine par on the 10th hole when Perry missed the green badly to the left and made yet another honey
this one the most costly of them all.
"This is a great moment, the dream of any golfer to win the Masters."
ANGEL CABRERA Masters champion
"I may never get this opportunity ever again, but I had a lot of fun being in there," Perry said. "I had the tournament to win. I lost the tournament. But Angel hung in there. I was proud of him."
Cabrera, who won the U.S. Open at Oakmont two years ago, finally earned a green jacket for Argentina.
It was 41 years ago when Roberto de Vicenzo made one of golf's most famous gaffes, signing for the wrong score that denied him a spot in a Masters playoff.
De Vicenzo gave him a picture of a green jacket two years ago
when Cabrera returned home as U.S. Open champion and told him to go for it. On this turbulent day, it took everything Cabrera had.
"This is a great moment, the dream of any golfer to win the Masters," Cabrera said through an interpreter during the green jacket ceremony. "I'm so emotional I can barely talk."
He closed with a 1-under 71 to get into the first three-man playoff at the Masters in 22 years.
Chad Campbell finished with a 69 and was eliminated on the first playoff hole when he found a bunker from the middle of the 18th fairway, then watched his 6-foot parp putt lip out of the hole.
The final hour was almost enough to make a dizzy gallery forget about the Woods-Mickelson fireworks hours earlier.
For those who feared Augusta National had become too tough, too dull and far too quiet, the
roars returned in a big way. Mickelson and Woods played together in a final round of a major for the first time in eight years, and they proved to be the best undercard in golf.
Mickelson tied a Masters record with a 30 on the front
nine to get into contention. Woods chased him around Amen Corner, then caught him with three birdies in a four-hole stretch that captured the imagination of thousands of fans who stood a dozen deep in spots for a view.
But it ended with a thud.
Mickelson lost his momentum with a 9-iron into Rae's Creek on the par-3 12th, and when he missed a 4-foot eagle putt and a 5-foot birdie putt down the stretch. He had to settle for a 67 that left him three shots behind.
Woods bogeyed the last two holes for a 68 to finish another shot back.
Then came the Main Event.
Perry did not make a birdie until his 20-foot putt on the 12th curled into the side of the cup. Campbell, playing in the group ahead, narrowly missed two eagle putts on the back nine to forge a brief share of the lead.
Then it looked like Perry had the green jacket buttoned up when he hit his tee shot to within a foot of the cup on the par-3 16th hole for a two-shot lead over Campbell and Cabrera, who made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 16th just to stay in the game.
But after going 22 consecutive
holes without a bogey, he made two at the worst time.
"I had a putt to win," Perry said. "I've seen so many people make that putt. I hit it too easy. You've got to give that putt a run. How many chances do you have to win the Masters?"

High pitch from Red Sox gets violent reaction
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM, Calif. — At the beginning of this three-game series, the Boston Red Sox lined up on opposite foul lines with the Los Angeles Angels in solidarity as the grieving home team observed a moment of silence in honor of rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart.
The mood in Sunday's finale was in sharp contrast. The teams who met in three of the last five AL Division Series put the good will aside after an angry reaction from Bobby Abreu to a pitch by Boston ace Josh Beckett that sailed over his head triggered a bench-clearing incident.
Abreu later hit a go-ahead two-run single against Beckett, and Vladimir Guerrero hit his first home run of the season to help Dustin Moseley and the Angels beat the Red Sox 5-4.
"I've never hit anybody in the head, and it's not really on my list of stuff to accomplish. But people can think what they want to think," Beckett said. "I know Bobby Abreu. He knows I'm not trying to hit him in the head. Obviously, there's been
a lot of emotion in this series with them — not only facing us, but obviously the tragedy that all of them went through."
The Angels won Friday's series opener, their first game after the 22-year-old Adenhart was killed early Thursday along with two friends when the car they were in was broadsided by a van driven by a suspected drunken driver.
Only hours before, Adenhart pitched six scoreless innings against Oakland.
In the first inning Sunday, Beckett was in the stretch position for what seemed like an eternity while getting the sign he wanted from catcher Jason Varitek. He came toward the plate with a fastball just as plate umpire Paul Schreiber jumped out to call time.
"He took too long delivering the ball, so Abreu called time — which is normal," second base umpire and crew chief Joe West said. "Did he throw it up and in? Yeah. Do we believe he threw it at Abreu? No."
Abreu said something to Beckett and was held back by Schreiber, then both dugouts and bullpens emptied — but no punches were thrown.

MEN'S GOLF Kansas takes 15th place in weekend tournament
MEN'S GOLF
Walt Koelbel's 68 in the final round led the Kansas men's golf team in its 15th place finish at the River Landing Intercollegiate tournament in Wallace, N.C. Koelbel tied for 19th place while fellow senior Andrew Storm fired a 74, finishing in 40th place.
Collectively, Kansas played its best golf in the final round, carding a 296 for a three-round total of 899.
"We struggled a bit but we have one more tournament before the (Big 12) tournament," Storm said. "We just need to play better to get prepared for that."
Freshman lan Anson shot his first sub-80 round of the tournament in the last round with a 77. Bryan Hackenberg and Zach Pederson chipped in with 68th and 74th place finishes, respectively.
"We're trying our best right now, but without a doubt we can play a lot better," Storm said.
The team will be back in action this weekend in College Station at the Texas A&M Aggie Invitational.

TRACK (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Brewer remembers when Anderson first came to Kansas.
"It set the tone for whatever a man can do, a female can do too," Anderson said. "She knows her stuff like anybody else and she can get the job done."
Anderson was working under sprints coach Elisha Brewer; it was the first time in Anderson's track career that she had worked with a female coach.
"She's very talented," Brewer said. "I had seen her run before and I was extremely excited about the opportunity to coach her. She respects the fact that I'm going to push her and get the best out of her."
Anderson's first meet at Kansas was at the Arkansas Invitational in January 2008. The track is a 60-degree banked track, which aggravated shin problems that she
'Even though I didn't compete, come 2012 I will be competing.'
had battled throughout her running career. Anderson said the meet was a blessing and a curse.
"I didn't hate it, but the bank track caused my injury to be severe the first time." Anderson said.
The most glaring highlight of Anderson's first season at Kansas was at the Iowa State Classic in February. She not only won the 200-meter dash, but her time of 22.94 was the fastest time ran by a female in 2008 in the world.
Weeks later at the Jayhawk Classic, Anderson broke the school record in the 60-meter dash running a time of 7.38 seconds.
Anderson persevered and ran the 200-meter dash in 23.77 seconds, earning her a victory and the school record for that event.
Brewer said she was not surprised by Anderson's feat because she could see how driven the sprinter was.
"I had no expectations; I didn't know what it was at the time," Anderson said.
Brewer said. "I couldn't say she was going to run the world's fastest time, but I knew she was very ready to do something great."
"I think no matter what's going on with her, she's not going to quit, she is not going to stop trying."
In outdoor, Anderson would have the same success, leading in the school's 100- and 200-meter dash events. But it was that summer when Anderson got the opportunity of a lifetime: running for her homeland of Jamaica.

Jamaica's track and field Olympic trials were held in June and the country took the top six finishers in each event to the Olympics. Anderson competed in her strongest events, the 100-meter and 200-meter dash.

It then took another phone call, this time from her mother, before she was convinced of the news. Finally, an e-mail asking for her shoe size and a visa to go to Beijing confirmed that she would be going to the Olympics to represent lamaica.
Brewer called her with the while and Anderson was walking home from class.
"She was like, 'You know you made the team right?' and I was like 'No, really?' Anderson said.

finals, that says a lot," Brewer said. "It's a very strong country in sprints; it shows that she's one of the up-and-coming sprinters in her country."
While in Beijing, Anderson didn't compete in the 200-meter dash event, but was an alternate for the women's 4x100 relay team. Anderson was not one of the four chosen to compete. However, Anderson still got to practice with them every day while there.
Even though she didn't get to compete in any events, Anderson said representing her country in China was one of the proudest moments of her life. Getting to watch Jamaica clean house in the
sprint events, winning 11 medals,
six of them gold, only topped off
the experience for Anderson.
"I think it was our year," Anderson said. "You know how everybody has their year. We were prepared, we were ready to go for it and that's what we did."
One athlete that people flocked to see was teammate Usain Bolt. Bolt earned the gold in the 100-meter and 200-meter dash and in the 4x100 relay. He broke the world record in the 100-meter dash, running it in 9.69 seconds, and ran the 200-meter dash in 19.30 seconds.
But Bolt's success didn't faze Anderson because she's known him since their days in high school track in Jamaica. In Jamaica, there was an East division and a West division and Anderson and Bolt were both in the West. They didn't attend the same high school, but they would be at the same track meets and travel back together.
"He is not, and never will be, a stranger to me." Anderson said. "I've known him before he got to this stage in his life."
Anderson said Bolt had always been in commercials back in Jamaica.
"Whenever I see him on commercials, I'm like, 'Oh, that's my
Making the Olympic team was one of Andersons top goals when she got to Kansas.

friend." Anderson said with a smile. "It doesn't trip me out; to me he's just a normal person."
Anderson said she would stay at Kansas after graduating to train with Brewer.

"I think we work well together," Brewer said. "She trusts me, respects me and definitely does what I ask her to do."

In the meantime, Anderson is finishing up her major, early childhood education going into special education. Anderson already has plans to train for the 2012 Olympics games in London while attending graduate school for her master's degree.

NBA
Cavaliers dominate at home
Team gains grounds in making best home record in league history
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVEIAND — After every 3-pointer, every dunk and every block, LeBron larnes turned and glared at Boston's bench. The message was clear; Not here.
James made five 3-pointers and scored 29 points before dancing in his seat, and the Cleveland Cavaliers throttled the NBA champions 107-76 on Sunday to move within one win of matching the 1985-86 Celtics for the best home record in league history.
At 39-1, the Cavs can tie Bostons mark against Philadelphia on Wednesday night.
Equaling those Celtics of Bird, McHale and Parrish, though, won't mean anything if the Caws can't dethrone the current guys in green sometime this spring. The Cavs led 31-9 after the first quarter, opened a 30-point lead in the second and turned a possible playoff preview into a rout.
It was Cleveland's most lopsided win ever in 173 games against the Celtics.
James didn't even have to play in the fourth quarter, getting some of the rest he'll need before the Cav make a run at their first title. With Cleveland up by 30,
James, Mo Williams and Delonte West boogied on the bench and mugged for TV cameras as the crowd roared in delight.
At the other end of the floor, the Celtics weren't enjoying themselves at all. They sat stoically waiting for the clock to expire.
Daniel Gibson scored 15 points and Williams added 13 for Cleveland, which held the Celtics to 36 percent shooting.
Paul Pierce scored 14 and Glen Davis 12 for the Celtics, who were without Kevin Garnett and Leon Powe -- not that they might have made a difference.
The Cavaliers have already clinched home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs, and with a win on Monday in Indianapolis, they can lock up home court in the finals -- if they get that far.
They may have to get past the Celtics, who beat them in a seven-game semifinal series last year, and figure to be their stiffest competition again.
On this day, though, the Cavs were untouchable.
Home court has been vital in the budding Celtics-Cavaliers rivalry: The home team has won 15 consecutive games, including all seven in last year's playoffs.
Temperps boiled in the third quarter when Cavs forward Anderson Varejao and Ray Allen got tangled under the basket after a free throw.
Varejao flung Boston's guard to the floor, and Allen responded with a well placed elbow into the forward's groin area. Both were given technical fouls and players on both teams exchanged stares and trash talk that may continue in a month or so.
If the Cavs were sending a messa-
sage, they delivered it quickly.
With its defense in full lock-you-down mode, Cleveland held the Celtics to 3-of-20 (15 percent) shooting in the first quarter. Allen missed all six of his shots and Pierce was just 2-for-7, and the two buckets he made were with hands waving in his face.
James helped set the defensive tone by racing back to reject a layup by Allen, who never could have expected Cleveland's star to close on him so quickly.
They built their lead to 49-19 with 4:23 left before halftime, before the defending champs used a 14-0 run to get within 16. James closed the half with a three-point play to make it 52-33 at the break.

Split series gives Jayhawks needed confidence boost

George bears down against Sooners in Kansas'4-2 victory
Sophoremore pitcher Allison Clark is tagged out as she slides into second base. The Jayhawks defeated the Sooners 4-2 Saturday aftergamet at Arnaudd Ballpark.

bward@kansan.com
When No. 11 Oklahoma loaded the bases with only one out in the seventh inning, Kansas was clinging to a two-run lead.
But senior pitcher Valerie George recovered, bearing down and striking out the final two Oklahoma batters to secure the 4-2 victory for Kansas, earning the team a split of the two game series.
"I was just really determined to get out of there," George said. "I didn't want to go to extra innings."
After the game coach Tracy Bunge spoke glowingly of George's performance.
Matthis was back in the circle on Saturday, but the Jayhawks looked like a completely different team at the plate — and not just because of their white and pink uniforms in support
"Mathis pitched a heck of a game," Bunge said. "But still, we've got to find a way to get it done; we didn't make any adjustments at all."
Kansas vs. Oklahoma
"She really toughed it out." Bunge said. "We wanted the ball in her hands and she made some huge pitches for us."
With Saturday's victory over the Sooners in the Pink Diamond Challenge, the Jayhawks avenged Friday's 8-0 run-rule loss.
The shut-out defeat was a forgettable game for Kansas as Oklahoma came out of the gate swinging, scoring five runs in the first inning. The Sooners tacked on three more runs, but had all the offense they needed with D.J. Mathis shutting the layhawk bats down from the circle. The Oklahoma senior struck out seven and allowed only one hit, a double by sophomore catcher Brittany Hile.

With senior outfieldier Dougie McCaulley on third and sophomore outfielder Liz Kocon on first. Bunge called for a double steal. As Kocon took off for second. McCaulley scampered home, giving Kansas a 1-0 lead and a big boost in confidence.
"We did a much better job adjusting at the plate." Bunge said. "But that first inning was huge; it changed the mindset of the team. Mentally it really picked us up and put us in a different place than yesterday."
From there, the Jayhawks tacked on three more runs in the second inning, led by an RBI single from junior second baseman Sara Ramirez and a two RBI double by senior catcher Elle Pottorf.
"Our gameplan was to come out swinging," Potterf said. "We forced [Mathis] to bring her pitches into the zone and made her pay when she did."
Still, without the strong outing from George, the four runs might not have been enough to defeat the hard-hitting Sooners. Though hampered somewhat by a leg injury, George tossed her second consecutive complete game while striking out seven Oklahoma hitters.
"George fought through some stuff out there," Bunge said. "She really deserved that win."
The victory over 11th-ranked Oklahoma marks the first time Kansas (14-23, 4-6) has beaten the Sooners since the 2007 season. Saturday was also a success in terms of increasing awareness and support for breast cancer; more than $1,700 was donated to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the KU Cancer Center. Additionally, the victory marks the fifth Jayhawk victory over USA Softball/ESPN top 25 teams this year.
"There's no better time than now to turn things around," George said.

Kansas City wins 1-0 to give Seattle first defeat
SEATTLE — Davy Arnaud drilled a 35-yard shot into the back left corner of the net off backup goal-keeper Ben Dragonav in the 80th minute on Saturday night, Kansas City handed 10-man Seattle its first MLS defeat, 1-0.
The Sounders (3-1-0) won their first three games, the best start of any expansion team in league history. Goalkeeper Kasey Keller was the primary reason for that fast start, posting three shutouts.
But the former U.S.national team star was given a red card and ejected in the 29th minute for using his hands outside the penalty area to stop a shot, leaving the Sounders with 10 men for the final 61 minutes.

They're coming back
Collins, Aldrich tell crowd they will play for Kansas next year
Chance Dibben/KANSAN

front of a packed house, Aldrich and Collins stepped behind the lectern as co-Danny Manning Mr. Jayhawk Award winners.
After sharing the Danny Manning "Mr. Jayhawk" award, junior guard Sheron Collins and sophomore center Cole Aldrich announced during the men's basketball banquet they would return for another year with the Jawhaws.
It would have been cruel to end the ceremonies any other way, so Aldrich stepped to the mic and took his cue.
By the time Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins took the stage at Monday night's awards banquet, the only question left was who would go first.
It was the perfect setting. In

"It was a great year, and like Cole said, I'm going to be back next
"The past two years has been absolutely a blast, and I can't wait till next year when we try to go for one more." Aldrich said while smiling at Collins.
Collins' words were a foregone conclusion, but they still triggered a standing ovation.
It turns out the decision wasn't too difficult for Kansas' top two players.
Coach Bill Self told both men he would gather information to help them decide whether to test the NBA draft, but neither of them waited for it.
"When I told coach, the first

Collins informed Self of his decision while the two were in Detroit accepting awards from the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Self recalled the encounter and said he was expecting bad news.
thing he told me was, Are you serious?" Collins said "Then he asked me if I was okay seven times and then he told me he had the goosebumps."
Aldrich said he knew what his decision would be as soon as the season was over, but opted to take a little time to relax before meeting with Self.
"We talked a little bit after the season and I said, 'I'm having way too much fun,' Aldrich said. "I really want to do a lot of things that very few people have done."
Collins and Aldrich spoke to each other often after the season, but the conversation was about
doing what's best for each person. Collins said neither of them knew what the other was going to say in their meeting.
Self estimated that he sewed up
12-15 wins with their return.

KAMIEN POMORSKI, Poland — Survivors of a fire that killed 21 people at a three-story shelter for homeless families in Poland on Monday described a fast-moving inferno that forced some to jump from windows into trees.

CAMPUS Panel will discuss morals, economy and legislation
The St. Thomas More Society of the University of Kansas will host a panel this afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. in 203 Green Hall to discuss how recent legislation and economic activity has shifted America's moral perspective of the law.
The symposium will take a
look at issues American society didn't take much notice in, such as CEO bonuses, before the recession and government bailouts. Josh Goetting, Leavenworth second-year law student and president of the St. Thomas More Society, said the financial crisis has brought new issues to light that students haven't previously considered.
"This panel is important for students who aren't so familiar with the laws because every time the legislature passes a new law it has a lot to do with the moral perspectives this society has as a whole," Goetting said.
Panelists include Michael Scaperlanda, professor at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, Michael Schuttloffel, executive director of the Kansas Catholic Conference, and Kara Tan Bhala, senior portfolio manager for the Merrill Lynch Dragon Fund.

PARKING Mississippi Street garage open to red, blue permits
In addition to gold parking permit holders, red and blue permit holders are now allowed
to park in the garage on Missisippi Street.
Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said red and blue permits were now allowed to park in the garage on Mississippi because gold permit holders were parking in red and blue areas.
Gold parking lots behind Strong Hall, Bailey Hall and the Facilities Operation building were closed beginning April 3 because of construction.
"We started out saying we'd honor gold permits starting now in the garage," Hultine said. "Then we started to hear from red folks who said that golds were really pushing into the red zones too because they are allowed to park in red or blue."
After a lengthier discussion than in years past, Paul Heferon, Overland Park senior and Student Athlete Advisory Committee senator, said that SAAC endorsed United Students for this week's Student Senate elections.
The gold lots will reopen August 1.

"We felt like both coalitions had really strong platforms and discussed the merits of both coalitions," Hefferon said. "We thought it was important for SAAC to come out and endorse a coalition."
In two of the past three years, SAAC has held the town hall meeting and gone public with their endorsement of KUnited three years ago and United Students last year.
SAAC gathered in Hadl Auditorium located in the Wagon Student Athlete Center to host a town hall meeting Monday night, in which president and
Candidates from Students of Liberty and Free State were absent from the meeting.
Hefferon said in addition to endorsing a coalition, it was also positive to see two athletes running with opposing coalitions. Mackenzie Abernathy, Plano, Texas, freshman and track and field athlete is running with Envision, while Darrrell Stuckey, Kansas City, Kan., senior and football player is running with United Students.
Assistant athletics director Mike Harry said it was great because the reason candidates started coming to the town hall meeting was because they realized what a powerful voting block student athletes were.
Online voting will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, as well as 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.

LIFE AFTER COLLEGE
Career Center sees dramatic increase in visits
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
rburchfield@akansan.com
rburchfield@kansan.com
The number of students who visited the University Career Center for individual appointments skyrocketed last semester. up 25 percent in Fall 2008 from Fall 2007.
UCC director David Gaston said attendance at UCC workshops was up, as more students attended last fall's UCC workshops than attended UCC workshops for the entire previous year. Gaston said more than 5,000 students were in attendance at UCC workshops last semester. He attributed the number to a combination of good marketing by his office and possible uneasiness caused by the struggling economy.
"There's apprehension of the unknown and students realize that
they need to pay attention to what to do in the future". Gaston said. "Hopefully they realize we'll be there to help them."
Jennifer Jordan, director of Business Career Services, said her office always had a steady flow of student traffic, but she had recently seen an increase in alumni visitors.
"These alumni have been laid off, and as a result they're making a transition,"ordan said. "So they're calling, e-mailing and coming in because they need assistance with that transition."
Jordan said although the flow of traffic to her office was as steady as it always had been, there was an adjustment in what she spoke about with students.
"I'm definitely talking to more discouraged students than in past years, without a doubt," Jordan said.
"I think students have to apply for more jobs and go through more rejections, so they have to be even more polished and prepared because the competition is tighter."
Lauren Lacey, Trov, Mo., freshman, said she used the career services offered through the School of Engineering to help her find an internship this summer.
"I went to the career center because I felt that, with the economy going down south, I would need some assistance in making my resume and interviewing process a lot smoother to impress employers." Lacey said.
Patty Noland, career development coordinator for the Journalism Career Center, said she, like Jordan, was speaking to concerned students.
"I think the word to use would be
worried about getting a job because the economy has taken a downturn." Noland said. "They hear the news and realize, wow, hundreds of people are getting laid off, and that worries them."
Noland said students had always been concerned, but they were just more concerned now because there were fewer jobs available. This concern, she said, would eventually fade as the economy grew stronger.
"I'm a very positive person, and I know the economy will get better," Noland said. "No one has a crystal ball and no one knows how soon it will start picking up, but I believe it will be sooner rather than later."
Gaston said that, despite difficult economic times, jobs still existed, and the key to finding those jobs was a positive attitude.

'From Blue to Green' events prelude Earth Day

BY AMANDA THOMPSON
athompson@kansas.com
Blue to Green will host 26 events on or near campus from row until Earth Day. The events focus on educating students about sustainability.
For the next two weeks leading up to Earth Day on April 22, environmental efforts on carapus will fall under one name — From Blue to Green: Conserve KU.
Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said the
movement incorporated 25 student groups on campus that focused on environmentalism or social activism.
Tyler Enders, Leawood sophomore, spearheaded the combined efforts of the different groups involved with Blue to Green. Enders said Blue to Green was not a group, but a movement that promoted a culture of sustainability. Enders said he wanted to make the movement as visual as possible to engage more students.
"We want students to feel more
pressure to be involved in it," Enders said. "We're making people realize it's a huge thing going on and they should participate in it."
Chelsea Mertz, Topeka junior, helped Enders make Blue to Green a reality. She said she hoped students would learn that they could do small things every day to help the environment.
"Each student can make their own difference. It doesn't have to take something like this to get something done." Mertz said. "It's all about individual efforts."

Severin said he had played a minor role in organizing the events and efforts of From Blue to Green.
"The students were the ones who wanted to make this happen," Severin said. "The student initiative is so strong on our campus."
Severin said the diversity of the student groups involved allowed for the events to be focused on broad spectrum of themes.
Severin said he looked forward to the Rain Garden planting next to the Ambler Student Recreation Center on Earth Day, April 22.
"Bringing together diverse organizations and events illustrates how all-encompassing sustainability can be," Severin said.
"It taken two years to make that a reality," Severin said. "It shows how a student initiated project can happen through collaboration with students and University officials."
Severin said he was not surprised at how well the movement
had been received.
"I hope everyone will take something away from the events that they can apply daily in their own lives," Severin said. "I hope it inspires them to make a change."

Important Q&A about JCCC Enrollment Changes
Will late enrollment be allowed in the fall?
No. Beginning with the fall 2009 semester, students who wish to enroll in a course must do so before the first day the course meets. Students may not enroll on or after the first day a course begins, regardless of what time of day the class meets. No late enrollment will be allowed.
Will I be able to add a class?
Once the fall 2009 semester begins, you will not be able to add to your schedule a class that has already begun. You, however, will be able to add a class that begins later in the semester.
If I can't enroll late, what should I do? Enroll early - enrollment begins April 23 for the fall semester! Enrolling early means you will get the best schedule and the best instructor match, and you'll be in class on the first day. Research shows that students who enroll after a class has already started usually don't perform well in that course. By enrolling early, you'll be positioned for a positive start to the semester.
What if I can't enroll early? JCCC offers many courses that begin later in the semester. You can enroll in a late-start course and be there the first day of class. To search for classes that have not yet begun, select the "Late Start" tab on the Credit Class Search on the JCCC Web site.

Actor Gibson's wife files for divorce
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES - Mel Gibson's wife of 28 years filed for divorce Monday, citing irreconcilable differences.
Robyn Gibson filed the petition, which offers no details of the breakup, in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The couple have seven children, but only one under 18. Robyn Gibson has requested joint custody of their son, who turns 10 on Tuesday.
Details of how the couple's assets will be divided were not spelled out in the court filings. Robyn Gibson is seeking jewelry and earnings and assets she accrued after the couple
separated, and a share of the money and assets Gibson, 53, has earned during his nearly three decades
as a Hollywood hitmaker.
OBJECTIVE RESEARCH
She wants the actor-director to pay spousal support and her attorney's fees.
"Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so," the statement read.
The couple were married in June
Monday, seeking privacy.
Gibson
Gibson has since gone on to make a mix of crowd-pleasing shoot-em-ups such as the "Lethal Weapon" franchise, and has established himself as a director. 1995's "Braveheart" earned Gibson two Oscars, for best picture and best director.
"Mad Max" in 1979 brought Gibson his first international attention, closely followed by the critically acclaimed "Gallipoli" and the Mad Max sequel "The Road Warrior."
1980, court records show.
He also produced and directed the surprise blockbusters "The Passion of the Christ" and "Apocalypto."

Kansas has one more scholarship to offer
While Kansas may have gotten its two most important "recruits" Monday night coach Bill Self still has one scholarship to give out.
The two likely candidates are Oklahoma City's Xavier Henry and Brooklyn's Lance Stephenson.
The New York Daily News reported that Self visited the Stephenson home Friday evening, and then the Stephenson family took an official visit to St. John's over the weekend.
Stephenson is expected
to choose between those two schools, and his decision could come as early as this week.
Henry, who originally committed to Memphis before withdrawing after John Calipari's departure, doesn't appear any closer to a decision.
He is reportedly choosing between Kansas, Kentucky and Memphis. Last weekend Henry led the USA Junior National Select team with 22 points.
"We can always get better." Self said at the awards banquet. "And certainly we have a scholarship to do so."

manned mission to the moon.
The moon rock, classified as a mare basalt, weighs about seventh of an ounce and is about the size of an unchewed piece of gum. The polished, silvery smooth rock is one of only seven in the world that the public can touch. Temple Richardson, Excelsior Springs, Mo., junior, said she was surprised by the texture and size of the lunar rock.
"I thought it wasn't going to be smooth," Richardson said. "I expected a raw rock right from the moon. I thought it'd be bigger"
In addition to touching the lunar rock, the public can learn more about NASA's plans for future space and lunar missions.
Lucie Johannes, materials research engineer with NASA, said the exhibit was meant to inform the public about the Constellation Program, NASA's new fleet of manned space crafts.
NASA is designing the new vehicles to take astronauts back to the moon and eventually to Mars and other destinations in the solar system.
Johannes said the traveling exhibit began its tour in Hutchinson at the Kansas Cosmosphere and would make several stops in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma before heading back to Houston.
Johannes said NASA engineers from Houston took turns traveling with the exhibit on different tours.
"It's a volunteer thing," Johannes said, "and I have family in Kansas, so I decided to come up here and freeze my toes off." Russ Engel, engineering alumnus, and his family drove from Overland Park to see the moon rock.
Although he said it was informative, Engel was surprised by the size of the exhibit.
THE EXHIBIT
"It's interesting," Engel said. "It's a lot smaller than I was expecting. But there's a lot of new information here."
Jill Hummels, public relations director for the School of Engineering; said the exhibit showcased how NASA's work benefited society as a whole.
What: NASA's traveling "Driven to Explore" exhibit
What You'll See: A 3.75 billion-year-old lunar rock, brought back to the Earth by the first KU astronaut
Where: Parking lot directly east of Eaton Hall
When: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Cost: Free and open to the public
"I think it shows people that
there are a lot of worthwhile activities that require planning, imagination and analysis," Hummels said.
"We're happy to have everyone come out and take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity"
The mobile exhibit is finishing up a two-day stop in the parking lot directly east of Eaton Hall. The exhibit is open today from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Lock and key: keeping the lunar rock secure
In addition to meeting space and logistical requirements to host the event, the KU School of Engineering has undertaken special safety measures to protect the price less lunar rock.
Jill Hummels, public relations director for the school,
said she was working closely with the KU Public Safety Office to keep the rock safe. Hummels said NASA required officers to regularly check in on the exhibit.
"We have spoken to the engineering school about the safety requirements and are acting accordingly," said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
Lucie Johannes, materials research engineer with NASA, said each location hosting the exhibit had to collaborate with NASA in order to ensure the safety of the moon rock.
"We just keep a constant watch over it," Johannes said. "And at night, it's kept in a double-lock safe with a key and combination."

Adam Wood, Students of Liberty presidential candidate,
said he felt the debates covered the most important aspects of each coalition's platforms. He said that while he knew that voter turnout would not be at 100 percent, he hoped turnout would improve compared with previous years.

Dustin Herron, technician for Haley Pest Control, 1035 E. 23rd St., said most pest control companies successfully get rid of brown recluses by spraying the home, or destroying the spider's food source. However, Sandidge said, while those techniques may appear to solve the problem in

Getting rid of a brown recluse problem for good requires research and work. Sandidge said that students who didn't
the short term,
they do not eliminate the spiders entirely. Brown recluse spiders eat almost every type of insect, whether it is living, dead, small or large. The spiders also resort to cannibalism
breeding.
He said the spiders needed a specific environment and temperature to mate, and his techniques tried to eliminate those conditions to keep the spiders from reproducing.
"The book is different way to think about control as a means of population regulation," Sandidge
said. "It combines academics we have known for years with what pest control operators are trying to accomplish."
Inside homes, the brown recluse spider can be found in any of the following places: dark spots within bathrooms, garages, closets and cellars, vent and heating ducts, seldomly used clothes and shoes. They can nest in stored clothes, old books, boxes, furniture, toys, carpets, coats, corners and cracks.

A Superior Court jury returned the verdict after about 30 hours of deliberations. the jury had the option of choosing involuntary man-slaughter, but did not do so.
LOS ANGELES — Rock music producer Phil Spector was convicted Monday of second-degree murder in the shooting death of a film actress at his mansion six years ago.
Spector's young wife, Rachelle, sobbed as the decision was announced. It was Spector's second trial. The first jury deadlocked 10-2, favoring conviction in 2007.
Spector exhibited no reaction to the verdict. His attorney argued that he should remain free on bail pending the May 29 sentencing, but Judge Larry Paul Fidler remanded him to jail immediately.
The 40-year-old Lana Clarkson, star of the 1985 cult film "Barbarian Queen" died of a gunshot fired in her mouth as she sat in the foyer of Spector's mansion in 2003. She met Spector only hours earlier at her job as a nightclub hostess.
Prosecutors argued Spector had a history of threatening women with guns when they tried to leave his presence. The defense claimed she killed herself.
Spector, 69, who had long lived in seduction at his suburban Alhambra "castle" was out on the town in Hollywood when he met Clarkson on Feb. 3. 2003, at the House of Blues. The tall, blond actress, recently turned 40 and unable to find acting work, had taken a job as a hostess. When the club closed in the wee hours, she accepted a chauffeured ride to Spector's home for a drink. Three hours later, she
was dead.
Spector's chauffeur, the key witness, said he heard a gunshot, then saw Spector emerge holding a gun and heard him say: "I think I killed somebody."
Defense attorney Doron Weinberg disputed whether the chauffeur remembered the words accurately. In closing arguments, Weinberg listed 14 points of forensic evidence including blood spatter, gunshot residue and DNA, which he said were proof of a self-inflicted wound.
"It's very difficult to put a gun in somebody's mouth," he said.
"Every single fact says this is a self-inflicted gunshot wound." Weinberg argued. "How do you ignore it? How do you say this could have been a homicide?"
But prosecutors portrayed Spector as a dangerous man who became a "demonic maniac" when he drank and had a history of threatening women with guns. They also contended blood spatter evidence proved that Clarkson could not have shot herself.

Downtown businesses need student support
EDITORIAL BOARD
As a Midwestern college town, Lawrence is less vulnerable to the economic crisis than most cities, but the recession is still taking its toll. Many downtown businesses are suffering, and it's up to students to make sure their favorite local shops and restaurants survive these tough times.
David Lewis, owner of Milton's Cafe, is nervous about the economy.
"It's getting really hard to pay your employees a fair wage
Though Lewis said he though the turbulent economy was affecting Lawrence, he said he hadn't seen a major change at Milton's. Lewis said he hadn't made any wage cuts or altered product prices this year. Lewis explained his main response to the crisis:
"In light of the economic downturn, the main thing we've done is to understand the environment we're in and really make sure that all our products are good, and that
we are giving people good service.
We've just really stepped it up a lot."
Lewis said he thought Milton's had been able to maintain its normal customer base during the past few months and did not expect much change in the near future.
Scott Ozier, manager of Jock's Nitch, said he that had not noticed a significant decline in sales.
KANSAN'S
OPINION
either,but that he had noticed a few changes.
it seems like right now, people are more resistant to buy luxury things," he said. "They're still buying
the things they need, as far as uni-
forms and cleats for their kids. As far as spending money on things like high-end shoes, there's not quite as much as last year."
Ozier said there hadn't been any wage cuts made at Jock's Nitch, but there had been an increase in product sales to be more competitive.
Milton's and Jock's Nitch are locally owned-and-operated businesses that have thrived in Lawrence for more than a decade. Though the economic downturn is definitely not helping Lawrence's economy, it seems that the community is doing better in comparison to other places across America.
According to Donna Ginther, assistant professor of economics, this is partly because Lawrence is a college town.
"KU is the largest employer in Lawrence," she said. "As the University goes, so does the community. As long as employment at the University is stable, things in Lawrence should stay stable."
Ginther cited the most recent stimulus package as a key determiner of how the University and Lawrence would be affected by the recession. She said the budget cuts the package included were not as large as the University anticipated
good news for the community.
Ginther went on to say that during recessions, college towns tend to be less affected than other communities. Students tend to come from upper middle class families and tend to spend more money than older people.
Lincoln, Neb., sophomores Hanson Perry and Mike Sands said they hadn't changed their spending habits since the crisis hit.
The University also provides a stable income for its large amount of employees, which allows for more consistent consumption.

FERPA not the real problem in underage drinking cases
When someone dies, it is easy to play the "what if" game. What if I had taken her to the hospital sooner? Or what if I had better explained the Warnings of drugs to him?
But we never know. Just like we will never know whether notify-ing Jason Wren's parents about his campus alcohol violations would have kept him from dying of alcohol poisoning. Regardless, it was the underage drinking, not the lack of parental notification, that caused his death and is the real issue in this case.
According to the article "University re-examines its privacy policy", on April 6, Jay Wren, Jason's father, wants the University of Kansas to re-evaluate its interpretation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
I appreciate Mr. Wren's desire to find ways to prevent other students and parents from suffering the same situation his son and family did. However, I think changing the University's policy is not the most effective way to approach the situation.
Even if the policy were changed, it would be impossible to make every student sign the FERPA waiver allowing the University to release information about alcohol and other violations. Students have the opportunity to sign the form.
MOUNTAIN DEW AT MIDNIGHT JENNY HARTZ
And if the parents are notified of these violations, there is no guarantee that will solve the problem. A kid can easily say, "Mom, I won't do it again," and then later try to become the national champion of beer pong with his buddies.
The policy also does not monitor or cover students' drinking underage off campus. Granted, drinking happens on campus (The Wheel 2: McCollum Hall), but a lot of it happens off campus, too. How can we notify parents about these incidents?
but the form is not required. And the University is allowed, but not required, to release the information.
In addition, college students are considered adults. We are supposedly capable of making healthy, positive choices in our lives and should take responsibility for our actions. We will never grow up, and college will become high school all over again if we must report to our parents every single thing we do.
The solution is to attack the real problem; underage drinking.
We have all heard lectures and read pamphlets on how under-age drinking is bad, real bad. Of course, some of us seem to just go along with it, just like we clid with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. But then we have to find out for ourselves how bad it really is.
For some students, learning the hard way themselves, though a bad hangover or an incredibly embarrassing drunk moment (pictures of it later found on Facebook, of course), will make some under-age students stop drinking, or at least make them more responsible when drinking.
For others, something more drastic might be in order. And perhaps a little good can come out of the horrible tragedy of l Jason Wren's story, if the consequences of underage drinking become more real to young people. The issue is put into painful terms students won't forget. When tragedy has a face, it's easier to prevent the next time.
Making students aware of stories like Jason's will be more effective than changing the University's privacy policy. This will not completely stop the issue, but it can make a difference. The students, not the parents, need to be aware of underage drinking and its consequences.

ENVIRONMENT
Proof of climate change clear but solution more than hazy
On March 28, people in more than 4,000 cities in 88 countries turned
in 88 countries turned off their lights in honor of Earth Hour. Earth Hour is a campaign that began in Australia in 2007 to bring awareness to global climate issues. In spite of increased efforts during the past couple of decades, many still think of global warming as an exaggerated and some go as far as to call it "alarmism."
Climate change is caused by an unnatural increase in green house gases and although the greenhouse effect is needed (without it the average temperature of the Earth would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit), moderation is key. The National Geographic Web site points out that, "Through the burning of fossil fuels and other greenhouse gas emissions, humans are enhancing the greenhouse effect and are warming the Earth." Because of this, the average temperature of the Earth has increased by about 74 degrees Celsius, according to the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Though skeptics exist, there has been a lot of scientific evidence supporting the claims. During the past couple of decades, thousands of yearsold ice shelves the size of cities have been weakening and melting around the world, with the most extreme examples in the Arctic.
According to an April 6 article entitled "Arctic Ice Got Smaller, Thinner, Younger this Winter," a "study used computer modeling and ice-level decline data to predict that most of the Arctic's summer ice could be gone in 30 years." The ice loss will directly affect sea levels, the freshwater count and the temperatures of our oceans.
All these examples illustrate the dire effects of climate change and although it may appear like an irreversible situation, there are ways to stop further damage. Bringing awareness to the urgency of the situation is important to educate the world. Many countries have become aware of their fossil fuel burning and have reduced emissions. Many agencies are also researching more energy-efficient practices to further aid in the reduction greenhouse gas emissions.
NOT SO ANGELIC
MICHAEL
Our own government, under our new proactive president, has vowed to assist in the worldwide cause. There have been rumors that our government has been investigating and exploring the field of geoengineering, through which greenhouse gases would be reduced.
Geoengineering technologies would include artificial volcanoes, artificial trees to suck carbon dioxide out of the air, and even possibly shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Though these concepts and ideas are still in development, I applaud the Obama administration for understanding the urgency of the situation.
Gregory Rudnick, professor of astronomy, said climate change was "probably one of, if not the biggest, problems facing the world today. It is important to explore all possibilities and options. If nothing else, this discussion is important for creating awareness."
Education, awareness and compliance could possibly prevent any further damage to Earth. And though it is important to have these discussions, it is also important to realize the gravity of the situation and the fact that people are being affected by it right now.

New technology key to piracy
Daily Trojan
ROSALEEN O'SULLIVAN
U. Southern California
Daily Trojan
There's not a whole lot of yo ho-ing by the Somali pirates who have been making increasingly frequent attacks on ships off the Horn of Africa. While we who frequent the land of Disney might imagine swashbuckling crews with sexy captains, pirates today are in fact a very real threat to those trying to navigate the area.
Using the latest in high-tech equipment, including satellite phones and GPS, pirates are able to locate ships and quickly overcome them. As the pirates are often armed with sophisticated weapons, including rocket grenades and machine guns, the policy for many shipping companies is to simply allow pirates to seize the ship if they come close enough to do so. Companies can
not place the crews in danger by asking them to fight back.
It is particularly difficult to outrun the pirates, as they generally approach in small, powerful speedboats, sometimes launched from "mother ships" already at sea. After that, the process is pretty old-fashioned: Pirates climb aboard using ropes and ladders, then sail back to the modern-day Isla de Muerta, the Somali town of Eval, with their captives.
Ultimately, Somalian piracy will continue to be a problem, given the importance of the area as a shipping route and the lucrative benefits of the business for pirates. Shipping companies simply cannot stop traveling around the Horn, and given the massive expanse of ocean in which the pirates operate, it will be next to impossible to effectively police them.

Pick gunning for No.2 spot
Redshirt freshman being considered to replace Meier as the Jayhawks' backup quarterback
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR

There was a moment during Saturday's spring football game that won't likely garner many YouTube hits, although it shared the message of a famous sound bite.
That exchange likely took place during the first three possessions by Pick's White team. His first few series in front of a Memorial Stadium crowd consisted of two three-and-outs and an interception by junior safety Darrell Stuckey.
In his best Allen Iverson impression, coach Mark Mangino relayed a conversation he had with a wired freshman quarterback Kale Pick early in the game: "I had to have a little talk with him to settle him down. I said, 'It's practice, it's practice. It's not a game — it's practice.'"
"I had to explain to him to do
the coaches tell you just like
any other day at practice and carry out your assignments," Mangino said. "And he settled down and he did some nice things."
Pick — who is being considered to take over junior wide receiver Kerry Meier's backup quarterback duties — shortly thereafter engineered an 11-play, 70-yard drive in the second quarter that culminated in the White team's only touchdown, a 15-yard shot to junior receiver Raimond Pendleton.
"It was just a big scrimmage," Pick said. "I definitely agree with Coach that it's nothing more than what we do in practice, there's just people watching."
Pick completed just two passes in the first quarter, but any nerves soon appeared to fade away. From then on, Pick completed 14 of 20 passes for 154 yards and finished

up and some tasks that were asked of him to complete before I reinstate him," Mangino said. "When he has those tasks completed — when he meets all the guidelines I set for him — I'll reinstate him, but not until then."
Sophomore wide receiver Dezmor Briscoe, who had 92 receptions for 1,407 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2008, did not appear at Saturday's spring game and has been suspended all spring for a violation of team policy. Coach Mark Mangino expected to meet with Briscoe Monday, leaving his reinstatement before spring's end pending established objectives.
"There are guidelines set
On Saturday, Mangino also announced the suspension of junior running back Jocques Crawford for a violation of team rules. Mangino said that Crawford's suspension involved a second team policy violation in a relatively short period of time and that his return to Kansas was questionable.
"I am taking a look at his situation and he will not participate the rest of the spring," Mangino said. "I'll be honest
with you, I don't know his status, whether he'll be back or not."
Mangino was asked if the suspension had any relation to a previous incident in which sophomore offensive lineman Ben Lueken was struck by a vehicle and briefly hospitalized. Mangino told reporters that he could not comment on the matter, citing an ongoing investigation into the altercation that occurred April 5 at Jayhawker Towers.
Crawford finished 2008 with 62 carries for 232 yards and four touchdowns. He was expected to figure largely into the team's backfield plans this season.

Since they began in 1923, the Kansas Relays have brought in some of the best collegiate track and field athletes in the country. Even coach Stanley Redwine competed, back in the early '80s when he was on the University of Arkansas track and field team. He competed in the medley events.
The 82nd Kansas Relays begin Wednesday and the team is excited for its only home outdoor meet to be underway.
"It was a special meet then and even more special now as a coach to host a prestigious meet like this," Redwine said.
"It gives our family, our athletes' families and fans the opportunity to come and see us compete at a home meet," Redwine said. "The Relays have always been a huge meet for the track team and for the University and we're excited to be hosting it."

Benefits of staying until end of games
BY CLARK GOBLE
cgoble@kansan.com
I remember the exact moment I decided to never leave a Royals game early.
All was going well in the game too: The Royals were up 7-2, going into the top of the ninth with fireballer Mike MacDougal on the mound. I stood and applauded as he jogged on the field to the Scorpions" "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and a frightening video montage.
August 9, 2005. It was my birth day, and an important one: my 16th. It was my first time driving to something other than school without my parents by my side I was so excited my hand shook as I handed the parking pass to the parking attendant.
It was the perfect way to celebrate the biggest birthday I'd had so far.
Too perfect, evidently.
I think pink socks would have made a better gift.
One Indian double led to another, and another, and another. The Indians threw in some singles too. A homer off Jimmy Gobble, the pitcher who came in to stop the bleeding, made the score 13-7 Cleveland.
Ambiorix Burgos both walked and balked in a run to lose two different games. Joel Peralha wasn't much better. From then on, I always resolved to stay or watch until the end of the game, just to see what the Royals closer would do to lose the game.
I had more confidence in Mike Tyson becoming National Scrabble Champion than in the Royals' bullpen.
But on a rainy Sunday afternoon at the K, that all changed.
Soria finished the game with a curveball that Robinson Cano swung at when it hit catcher John Buck's glove. It was "The Mexicutioners" third save in three appearances. He's coming off a season where he picked up a save in 42 of 45 opportunities and held a 1.60 ERA.
The Royals had a two-run lead on the Yankees in the ninth. As I usually do in these situations, I thought back to my worst birthday ever and Mike MacDougal's entrance to the game. Similar song: this time, "Welcome to the Jungle". Similar montage: lots of fire, lots of fastballs.
And I still wondered what Soria would do to lose it.
But it wasn't a similar result, Joakim Soria, the Royals' All-Star closer, made the Yankee batters look foolish. Hideki Matsui watched a fastball hit the outside corner and walked back to the Yankee dugout shaking his head, Xavier Nady looked like a little leaguer in striking out.
The Royals actually have a closer who doesn't open the game for the opponents. The game is effectively shortened to eight innings
I can now officially say that I have confidence in the Royals to win a game they are leading in the ninth inning.
I might even leave a few games early this summer to avoid the highway traffic. It's a birthday gift given three years, eight months, two days and seventeen hours too late.
But at least it's finally here.

Jurors in Castroneves case ask for transcripts
MIAMI — Jurors deliberating the fate of Brazilian race car driver Helio Castroneves and two others charged with evading U.S. taxes asked Monday for transcripts of testimony by two tax lawyers who were called by the prosecution to describe how Castroneves' finances were structured.
The request, which was granted by U.S. District Judge Donald Graham, followed a question Friday from jurors about a key aspect of tax law. The 12-person jury began deliberations Friday after six weeks of testimony and did not reach a verdict Monday. They will continue Tuesday.
Gastroneves, a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, his sister and business manager Katiucia Gastroneves and Michigan lawyer Alan Miller each face more than six years in federal prison if convicted on conspiracy and tax evasion charges.
Prosecutors say Castroneves failed to pay more than $2.3 million in taxes between 1999 and 2004. Castroneve insists he is innocent and paid all the taxes he owed.
Spring performances are saucy
COMMENTARY
Recently, when discussing the quality of a teammate's play, my buddy Mattie — a goalie on Kansas' club lacrosse team* — introduced a mind-blowing grading system.

*Kansas defeated Missouri Saturday 7-4. The Border (Showdown) Trophy Civil War Sword finally returned to Lawrence. Yes, they don't play for a drum but, instead, a freaking Samurai sword.
Anyway, he said, and I quote, "On the Buffalo Wild Wings Scale, his shot is Honey BBQ." My jaw dropped, my eyes grew misty. It was a revelation. And with so the spring football game in the books and the team about to close up shop until training camp, let us employ this beautiful scale in grading spring football.
Two quick caveats: This experiment will absolutely exceed The Morning Bear's allotted space, so the complete scale will be available on the football blog. Through the Uprights, which can be found at Kansan.com/blogs. Second, Buffalo Wild Wings features 14 regular flavors of wing sauce ranging from the mildew, Sweet BBQ, to the hottest, Blazin'. For this scale's purpose, Blazin' will be the highest attainable rating, Sweet BBQ the lowest and the various sauces in between will be awarded at my discretion. Without further ado, let's start the revolution...

WASHINGTON — Radio and TV broadcaster Harry Kalas, whose baritone delivery and signature "Outta here!" home run calls provided the soundtrack to Philadelphia baseball for nearly four decades, died Monday after collapsing in the broadcast booth before the Phillies' game against the Washington Nationals. He was 73.
Philadelphia Phillies announcer Harry Kalas died Monday after being found unconscious in the broadcast booth before a game against the Washington Nationals. The 73-year-old broadcaster was famous for exclaiming "Outta here!" when Phillies players hit home runs.
"We lost our voice today," Phillies president David Montgomery said. "He has loved our game and made just a tremendous contribution to our sport and certainly to our organization."
Familiar to millions of sports fans outside Philadelphia for his voiceover work with NFL Films, "Harry the K" was beloved at home. Since 1971, he was the man who was the bearer of news — good and bad — to those who followed the losingest franchise in major professional sports.
When the Phillies won their second World Series title last fall, Kalas — who normally called only the middle three innings on radio — was in the booth for the last out of the clincher. He then joined the on-field celebration, grabbing a microphone to sing Frank Sinatra's "High Hopes."
That song was among several Kalas standbys that endured him to Phillies supporters. Another: He would call horners by a certain Hall of Fame third baseman by noting the player's full name — "Michael Jack Schmidt."
Many people asked Kalas to record outgoing messages on answering machines — or more recently, cell phone voice mail — using his "Outta here!" line. And he always complied with those requests, said Philies radio broadcaster Scott Franke.
"Players come and go." Franzke said, "but 'Outta here!' — that's forever."
Kalas didn't get to call the final out of Philadelphia's other title, in 1980, because Major League Baseball prevented local broadcasts of the World Series games. But Phillies fans complained and the rule was later changed.
A recipient of the Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for his contributions to the game, Kalas was one of the last long-time announcers closely associated with one city, Another, Vin Scully, threw out the first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers' home opener Monday, marking his own 60th year with that club.
"He was not only a multitalented fellow with a wonderful voice. He
was a lovely guy. I mean, everybody liked Harry. The city of Philadelphia will just be in mourning because they loved him so much," Scully said. "I'm happy for him that his team was world champions last year, so he had the thrill of that."
There was a moment of silence in Kalas' memory before the Philies-Nationals game, and at other baseball stadiums around the country Monday.
To a whole generation of football fans, Kalas also was a signature figure.
Joining NFL Films as a narrator in 1975, he did the voiceover for "Inside the NFL" from 1977 through 2008.
Kalas predecessor John Facenda "was the 'Voice of God' and Harry Kalas was the 'Voice of the People,'" NFL Films president Steve Sabol said in a written statement.
"In many ways, Harry is the narrator of our memories. His voice lives on not only on film, but inside the heads of everyone who has watched and listened to NFL Films."

During that season he pitched 24 complete games.

As Pick progresses, he'll have no shortage of counsel from two well-traveled teammates. But as the current backup quarterback has suggested, there is much education to be had from days like Saturday.
"When I first got here the biggest thing was game experience and I didn't realize college football until I stepped on the field and took my first snap," Meier said earlier this spring. "Right now going through spring ball and sitting with him in the film room Kale knows what he's doing but that game experience is irreplaceable."

Cubs win home opener; pitcher performs well
CHICAGO — Ted Lilly held Colorado hitless for 6 2/3 innings on a raw day at Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs won their home opener Monday by holding the Rockies to one hit in a 4-0 victory.

rousing ovation from a bundled-up crowd. Lilly (2-0) allowed just two walks and the single, while striking out eight.
He also walked Chris lannetta in the third. Relievers Angel Guzman, Aaron Heillman and Kevin Gregg completed the one-hit shutout.
On a wet and blustery day with the game-time temperature at 36 degrees and the wind blowing in at 10 mph, Lilly shut down the Rockies with an efficient assortment of pitches.
The Cubs, winners of the NL Central the last two seasons, are now 5-2.

The payoff had been unnoticed so far this season.

there and perform well in front of the home crowd", Mims said.
The Relays have been apart of Mims' family for a while. His older brother Jeremy was an All-American in the 800-meter run back in 2005.
"He was one of the best," Mims said of his older brother. "It's my brother, it was always great to see him go out beat all of those guys."
The Relays bring in some of the top professional and Olympic athletes to Lawrence every year. This year is no exception, as Bershawn Jackson, Muna Lee, Alan Webb and Scott Russell are scheduled to compete.
Jackson is a four-time defending Relays champion in the 400-meter hurdle invitational and took home a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics.
Lee, a Kansas City, Mo., native, took fifth at the Beijing Olympics in the 100-meter dash. Russell, a Kansas track alumnus, took 10th place in the javelin. Webb, one of the 10 fastest men in the world, currently holds the American record for the mile.
"Those are some household names as it relates to track and field," Redwine said. "These are some of the best people in their events and here is an opportunity to see them here in Lawrence, Kansas."
"People may not necessarry want to see a college meet, but to bring in some of the top athletes in the world that you see in the media is a definite draw and it's good to get those sorts of names." Mims said.
Mims believes the Olympic athletes are a definite attention getter for the audience.
Redwine said that having Olympic athletes at the Relays was encouraging for his team because it showed members that pursuing a career in track was possible.
"It's an opportunity to see that you are not doing anything different than what they are doing. You just have to continue to get better
Last weekend at the John Jacobs Invitational, the Jayhawks brought their total of regionally qualified athletes to 10. Redwine feels that they can get more competing at home.
The Relays will kick off with decathlon and heptathlon events at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Memorial Stadium.
"It always gets the athletes fired up" Redwine said. "A stadium full of fans is more of an incentive to do well. And that's an opportunity that we have here."

The St. Louis Cardinals' Troy Glaus tosses his batting helmet after striking out against the Colorado Rockies on April 1 in St. Louis. Glaus is expected to miss at least two months following a backset in his rehabilitation from arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
Manager says past drug use isn't issue
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak met with Troy Glaus on Monday to discuss a report that the third baseman had told authorities he used steroids in 2003 and 2004 to help him recover from right shoulder injuries.
"I told him that, from St. Louis' standpoint, this is something that happened in the past, and we understand it's been handled with Major League Baseball, and we'll leave it at that." Mozeliak said before the Cardinals played the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The New York Times reported over the weekend that Glaus in 2005 told federal investigators that he used steroids while he rehabbed the shoulder injuries when he was playing for the Angels.
Glaus is in Arizona on another rehabilitation stint, this one following arthroscopic shoulder surgery in January. But Mozeliak refused to draw parallels between this rehab stint and the one that drew the attention of investigators.
Mozeliak said there is no timetable for Glaus' return, but he's not expected back before June 1.

Cavaliers clinch NBA's best record
Cleveland is 39-1 at home, one win short of a league record
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS The Cleveland Cavaliers clinched the NBA's best record and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs Monday night behind LeBron James' 37 points in a 117-109 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
Getting the home-court edge was especially important because Cleveland has a 39-1 record at home, the best in the league.
Delonte West scored 20 points, Mo Williams had 18 and Dydrunas Igauskas added 16 points and 10 rebounds for Cleveland, which won its fifth consecutive game.
Danny Granger scored 38 points, rookie Brandon Rush scored 27 and Troy Murphy had 17 points and 13 rebounds for Indiana.
BULLS 91. PISTONS 88
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Ben Gordon made a tiebreakin layup with 15 seconds left, and the Chicago Bulls beat Detroit 91-88 Monday night, locking the Pistons into the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.
The loss means the Pistons (39-42) will face Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs. Chicago (41-40) leads Philadelphia by a half-game for sixth.
Derrick Rose scored 11 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter and added a key defensive play as the Bulls overcame a double-digit deficit in the second half.
RAPTORS 97. WIZARDS 96
WASHINGTON — Chris Bosh made the go-ahead three-pointer with 9.9 seconds left for the Raptors. Trailing 93-80 with 6:30 remaining, Toronto outscored Washington 17-3 to pull off the win.
Bosh, who had 25 points and 15 rebounds, converted his first three-pointer since March 6. It
was his 42nd double-double of the season, tying his 2006-07 franchise high.
Shawn Marion had 25 points and 15 rebounds for the Raptors.
Caron Butler scored 28 points and Antawnd Jamison had 23 for Washington in its 62nd loss. The Wizards must win on Wednesday
in Boston to avoid tying their franchise record for losses, set in 2000-01 when they were 19-63.
NETS 91, BOBCATS 87
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jarvis Hayes hit two late three-pointers in a 37-second span and the Nets rallied from a 12-point,
fourth-quarter deficit.
Rookie Brook Lopez added 18 points and a career-best 20 rebounds, and Vince Carter had five of his 19 points in the final 4:47 as New Jersey won its second straight, but only its fourth in 12 games. Hayes finished with 15 on 6-of-9 shooting.

Team hopes for season's first series sweep
Jayhawks will face the UMKC Kangaroos in a doubleheader after recent victory

The Jayhawks high-five their Oklahoma opponents after an April 11 victory. Kansas will face UMKC today and the team hopes to repeat last year's series sweep of the Kangaroos. The team also hopes to increase its cumulative average.
BYTOM POWERS
tpowers@kansan.com
The layhawks conclude a sixgame home stand with a doubleheader against the UMKC Kangaroos today, three days after an impressive victory against the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners.
At 2:2 thus far into the home stand, Kansas hopes to earn its first series sweep of the season.
TODAY
Kansas vs. UMKC
Arrocha Ballpark
The Jayhawks have a prime opportunity to do so as the struggling Kangaroo (14-27, 4-11) are currently second to last in the Summit League Conference, ranked 25th in conference RPI. Earlier this season, UMKC lost 13 straight games, its longest losing streak since dropping 16 in a row in 2007. But coach Tracy Bunge refuses to let herself or her team look beyond the game at hand.
Game 1: 5 p.m.
Game 2: 7 p.m.
"We have a lot of respect for every opponent," Bunge said. "They're capable of beating anybody on any given day just like we are. We've just got to focus on one game at a time and try to build on that momentum we got Saturday."
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
On paper, it's easy to overlook UMKC despite its 8-2 record over the last 10 games, which included a two-game series sweep of Missouri State. Kansas lost to Missouri State 13-8 on March 24.

Defensively, UMKC hasn't done much to help its pitchers, giving up nearly two errors per game, while Kangaroo catcher Amanda Evans has been able to throw out only 16 percent of potential base stealers. Although Bunge didn't have the updated stats before Monday's interview, she had taken notice.

Jayhawks go into today's doubleheader focused and well rested.

Kansas City signs Thomas another defensive vet
Kansas City added another veteran linebacker to its rebuild roster Monday when it signed free agent Zach Thomas.
In an effort to fix one of the weakest positions on a team that went 2-14 last year, the Chiefs have acquired Mike Vrabel in a deal that also brought quarterback Matt Cassel from New England, and signed Monty Beisel.
Thomas.5-foot11 and 242 pounds,has 182 starts during a 13-year career,mostly with the Miami Dolphins.
Under new coach Todd Haley and general manager Scott Pioli, the Chiefs plan to switch to a 3-4 defense. Having experienced
linebackers is critical to such a switch.
The Chiefs also waived wide receiver Will Franklin on Monday.
Franklin made one start last year and appeared in 13 games.

Wade says he has something to prove
忘
BY TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press
MIAMI — Dwyane Wade will be the NBA's scoring champion this season. He put up MVP-caliber numbers, ones that drew comparisons to Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson. He was healthy. He was happy. And the Miami Heat are back in the playoffs.
So, Mr. Wade, your assessment of the regular season?
"I'm still angry," Wade said.
A winning record, a scoring title,
a career-high 55-point game on
Sunday to punctate the best on-
the-court regular season of his life,
and he's not content?
"No," Wade insists. "I still have something to prove."
For as much as Wade has enjoyed his basketball revival, it's clear he still hasn't recovered from the descent off the game's mountaintop.

Nearly three years have passed since Wade grabbed the last rebound in Dallas and took his spot with the Heat as NBA champions. He was a 24-year-old MVP of the final series.
Every MONDAY & WEDNESDAY
His rise was rapid.
KANSAN COUPONS
His fall, maybe faster.
It started not long after that title win in Dallas. Championship ring night was ruined by a 42-point loss to Chicago. The shoulder dislocation, then getting swept in the 2007 playoffs by the Bulls. Surgeries on his shoulder and knee. Miami's freefall to the NBA cellar last season. The breakup of his locker room. The nasty divorce from his high school sweetheart.
No. 3 spent three years becoming a champion, and three years overcoming the string of problems that followed.
"When he's on the court, it's like he's on vacation from all the other stuff going on," said Heat forward Dorell Wright, one of Wade's closest friends in the Miami locker room. "He goes out and proves everybody wrong."
Along the way, so have the Heat.
Already 27 wins better than last season, Miami has put together one of the biggest one-season improvements in NBA history — and the best ever under a rookie head coach. And much in the same vein that coach Erik Spoelstra tries to defer much of the credit to players and the team's front office, Wade is quick to say that he didn't pull off this comeback season singlehandedly.
"The goal for the year was to come back and make the playoffs," Wade said. "That was accomplished when we got our 40th win and it's all good. But at the same time, what's sweet about it is there's nobody that's really satisfied because we can be a lot better. We know that. We feel it coming. I just hope we don't run out of time before it happens."

Toilet paper choices can benefit the environment

companion wants Americans to think more about the harsh effects that soft, cushy toilet paper can have on the environment.
According to a green tissue consumer guide Greenpeace released last month, if every family in America substituted just one roll of regular toilet paper with a recycled roll, more than 400,000 trees would be saved.

rence. Gawin said he tried to buy everything recycled when he could, including toilet paper,
Gawin said students didn't often think about where their toilet paper came from or about its possible environmental consequences.
"It's just something that we've used since we were small children," Gawin said. "It's just been there our whole lives. No one would think about it, because we just use it and flush it down."
The tissue guide ranked the environmental friendliness of tissue products, including paper towels, facial tissues, paper napkins and toilet paper. The tissues were ranked green, yellow or red.

After two hours of testimony and 90 minutes of deliberations, the elections commission hearing board found Davis guilty of "harassing" members of the elections commission who lived in her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, for confidential information.
According to testimony given by the commissioners in question, Davis approached them on multiple occasions seeking information about a commission decision to fine United Students $350 for failing to include the commission's Web site on its campaign posters. Davis used that information to aid in her appeal of the fine.
Adam McGonigle, student body president, said United Students planned to appeal Davis suspension.
United Students will have 48 hours to appeal the decision to the University Judicial Board.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadjad said Tuesday that Iran planned to launch a "more sophisticated" satellite into orbit, another potential step forward for the country's space program that have raised concerns in the West.

DOUBLE HARBOR INHALTERS
— A scientist says the world's first cloned camel has been produced in the desert emirate of Dubai.
Nisar Ahmad Wani, a senior reproductive biologist at the government's Camel Reproduction Center, says the cloned camel is a six-day-old, one-humped female called Achievement or Injaz in Arabic.
Injaz was born April 8 after an uncomplicated gestation of 378 days, the center said in a press release Tuesday.
The center said she was created from cells harvested from an ovary of an adult female camel.
Camels are a valuable commodity in the desert sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf. They are used for racing and transport.

ART
Exhibit to raise awareness of El Salvador
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
Crystal White, 2007 graduate, currently has artwork about Laverne's sister city, EI Papatum, EI Salvador, on display at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. The artwork, which focuses on the theme of social justice, will be on display throughout April 19.
Matt Bristow/KANSAN
A.
Art in Everyday Life, a new group through Ecumenical Christian Ministries, and the Kansan-Salvadoran Solidarity Action (KSSA) are displaying artwork from El Salvador at the ECM.
The exhibit, The El Salvador Art Show, features drawings from children of El Papaturro, El Salvador, one of Lawrence's sister cities, and art from past El Papaturro volunteers whose work focuses on community, culture, social movements and the history of the Salvadoran civil war, which ended in 1992. The volunteers include University students, graduates and Lawrence residents.
Sarah Birmingham, a member of both KSSA and Art in Everyday Life, said she helped organize the art show, which will be on display for the next two weeks. The exhibit went on display Monday.
"I think it's kind of cool to be able to see something come out of KU students' experiences," Birmingham, 2008 graduate, said. "It's like putting what you could learn in a class into a real-life situation."
Crystal White went on the Alternative Spring Break as a student volunteer to El Salvador in 2006. White, Lubbock, Texas, 2007 graduate, said she listened
to accounts of people in El Papaturro who were refugees during the country's civil war and had returned to their home country to start their lives over. She said she made her art by embroidering the refuges' testimonies through tree branches to reflect her experience in the forests near El Papaturro.
"When they were telling me their stories, it was hard to wrap my mind around it," White said. "These are people's lives, not just stories."
Katherine Logan, administrative assistant and member of Art in Everyday Life, said the exhibit also included pictures from Salvadoran school children that showed their ideas of communities.
Birmingham said that from 2005 to 2008 the ECM held Alternative Spring Break trips to El Salvador with the purpose of social justice. She said the trip and the art show taught how other communities dealt with issues of economic problems and sustainability.
"It's helpful seeing how other communities deal with these issues," Birmingham said. "I think it's really inspiring."
White said that during the trip
to El Salvador she spent five days in the capital, San Salvador, and then went to El Papaturro. She said one of the purposes of the art show was to let people know Lawrence had a sister city in El Salvador.
"I'm excited because it's the first thing we've done as a group." Logan said.
"It's a beautiful, amazing community," White said. "We have a lot of ties with El Salvador that people aren't aware of."
Logan said the goal of the new organization was to hold exhibits for art from non-professional
artists and for art involving social movements.

Rob Chestnut and Mike Amyx were elected mayor and vice mayor of Lawrence at Tuesday's city commission meeting. Both Chestnut and Amyx said the city commission would continue to work with the University.
"It's going to be an interesting year, because we have the new chancellor to be appointed and a new provost to be appointed," Chestnut said.

Women use fake funerals to claim insurance
BY THOMAS WATKINS
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — It was quite a send-off for Jim Davis, or so the people paying his funeral bills were led to believe.
They were told Davis was laid to rest at Abbey Memorial Park in Compton after being placed in an ornate, top-of-the-line casket lined with elaborate floral arrangements. Altogether, the bill to bury Davis at the palm-lined cemetery came to nearly $31,000.

The participants went so far as to file phony death certificates, and bought a $3,354 burial plot
But there was a problem: There
And prosecutors say the coffin that was lowered into the ground was made out of cheap plywood or cardboard, filled with either rocks or butchered meat and animal bones, apparently to convince those who handled it that there was a body inside.
Faye Shilling, 60, and Jean Crump, 67, were indicted last week on federal charges that they scammed insurance companies and funeral-related businesses out
Two other women previously pleaded guilty in the case. The indictment lists just two fabricated deaths, but authorities said there may have been as many as seven.

The prosecutor said a small group of mourners attended Davis' graveside service in 2006, but he would not say who they
were. He said he did not know whether a clergyman officiated or anyone gave a eulogy.
The scheme began coming apart several weeks after the funeral, when an insurance investigator began snooping around, the prosecutor said. He said the participants panicked and dug up the coffin, claiming later that they had had Davis' remains cremated and scattered at sea.

the Dole Institute of Politics. The speech, titled "The Equity Imperative: Why it Matters to Talk about Women," will focus on Mackey's work on women's rights issues.
Friends and * relatives, along with government officials, have established several other initiatives to honor Mackey. Eleven hundred torches is an organization dedicated to remembering Mackey and her work on women's rights issues. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius designated March 8 as Jana Mackey day of service.
Curt Brungardt, Mackey's stepfather, said Mackey came to the University on a vocal scholarship. He said that after a year in college she became interested in obtaining a women's studies degree.
"From then on, that was her life," Brungardt said. "Every type of volunteer work, to her career to wanting to go to law school, all revolved around the idea of issues of equality and promoting women's rights."
In November, Mackey's parents traveled to Washington, D.C., to ask Gandy to be the first speaker.

tive health and domestic violence issues, both of which were important to Mackey.
She said gender played pivotal roles in students' life experiences, the options available to them and the choices they made.
Rose-Mockry said the goals of the lecture were for students to get informed, involved and empowered.
Tanner Willbanks, Lawrence senior, knew Mackey from the time she was 14 years old. As a member of both the selection and planning committees for the lecture series, Willbanks said he wanted to make sure something was done to honor Mackey's work.
"lana being proud of me is a pretty big part of what goes into most of my days," Willbanks said. "I hope people use her as an example and inspiration."

not as popular, Lowry said.
Many consumers stay away from recycled toilet paper because it can feel rougher than softer brands. But Ben Dory, grocery administrative assistant at the Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., said his customers frequently stocked up on recycled toilet paper.
Dory said the Merc sold two different brands of recycled toilet paper: Seventh Generation and Green Forest. Both brands received a green ranking in the tissue guide.
Dory said the price of a four-pack for Seventh Generation was $4.39, and a four-pack for Green
Forest would cost $1.99. He said the Seventh Generation rolls were more expensive because they were double rolls and used almost twice the amount of materials.
The price of a four-pack of Scott, which received a red ranking in the tissue guide, was $4.39 at Dillons, the same price as Seventh Generation.
Dory said that no matter the price, there were plenty of incentives to buy what he called a "more responsible product."
"The discrepancy is all in the ethical value of buying this product," Dory said.

In addition to today's Carnegie Hall performance, the winners will spend the remainder of the week attending rehearsals and master classes, in which they will play for distinguished musicians and receive pointers and critiques.
"It's going to be really exciting to meet all of these musicians who are going through the same thing I am, from around the world that I normally wouldn't have the chance to meet," Chester said.
When Chester attended the University, he was involved with KU Wind Ensemble, Marching Jayhawks and the KU Tuba-Euphonium, a group of tuba players who performed at several local and international conferences. He worked closely with Scott Watson,
professor of tuba euphonium.
Watson said Chester had a real talent for playing in the orchestral style, something that was evident in his audition videos.
"I told him that my chest was sticking out an octave with pride," Watson said.
But for now, Chester is excited about performing and said he enjoyed the way the YouTube Symphony Orchestra combined new with old.
"My favorite part is the innovation behind it." Chester said. "Just combining something really old, like classical music, with a new medium like YouTube is a really great idea."

Until United Students' appeal has been heard, the elections commission recommended that Davis' name be stricken from the ballot while allowing Mason Heilman, United Students presidential nominee, to continue the campaign. Following the hearing, however, the commission had not decided on a final course of action.
He declined to comment on who that replacement would be.
Heilman said discussions had taken place regarding a replacement vice presidential candidate in the event the appeal is denied.
"We do feel that the elections commission was out of bounds this evening." Heilman said. "But other than that, I will tell you that the campaign will still go forward. United Students is far more than one person."
Envision presidential candidate JJ Siler said his coalition would try to continue the campaign as planned.

"It thought it was a really important issue that we had to bring up here to the University and let the students know that there's a bigger problem than the usual workplace harassment that women go through," Gonzalez said.
Members of HALO and staff from the MRC decorated bandanas that will be on display all week in the MRC lobby, where students can learn about the project.
"We need to become aware of what is going on with our food and these women who are picking our food every day," Gonzalez said.
Precious Porras, program associate of multicultural affairs, helped organize other Hate Out Week events such as a mural unveiling that promotes unity, and the Tunnel of Oppression, where students can feel the effects of discrimination and hate by walking through a multimedia experience.
"If you think you've never experienced discrimination, you should
take a walk on the other side and see what people are going through and make a difference in your own life," Porras said. "I think that it's important for students to attend any Hate Out Week event because it gets really easy to forget that discrimination still exists in the world."
At the end of the week, members of Queers and Allies will mark the National Day of Silence by spending a day without speaking. The event works to bring light to the hate that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people experience.
Kellen Bolt, Iola freshman and activities coordinator for Q&A, said that he participated in the Day of Silence during his senior year in high school, but that this would be his first time participating with a large group of people.
"It was hard the first time I did it and I messed up a lot, but it's definitely worth it," Bolt said. "It's a very important day for LGBT, because it's a way that we can bring more awareness to the prejudice and issues we face."

ANNIVERSARY
Tech massacre remembered
Virginia Tech campus ministers gather on the second floor of Norris Hall, the building where the April 16, 2007, massacre took place, to pray for the victims, friends, relatives and tech students on Monday in Blacksburg, Va.
BY SUE LINDSEY Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Jerzy Nowak acknowledges he isn't yet comfortable in the peace center he helped to create at the site of the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
His wife, locelyne Couture-Nowak, was teaching French in Virginia Tech's Norris Hall when she was gunned down on April 16, 2007. Troubled graduate student Seung-Hui Cho killed two people in a dorm and 30 others in the second-floor classroom wing where Couture-Nowak died before fatally shooting himself.
Two years later, victims' families and survivors are still trying to make sense of what happened. Classes will be canceled on the anniversary Thursday, and events will include an open house at the peace center, a candlelight vigil and a memorial ceremony.
For some, a trip to campus is part of working through their grief. For others, it's still too painful.
"I went for a visit yesterday." Nowak, the center's director, who will move into the building later this month, said recently. "Honestly, my heart sank."
But the former horticulture department chairman said he
pushed to create the peace center because it will help families heal. The center is already working on violence prevention for at-risk youth.
Nowak's resolve was strengthened by an e-mail from a woman who had never planned to visit the building where her daughter died.
"But now that she has learned that a portion of it is dedicated to peace, she is considering going," he said. "This is so encouraging to me."
Others, like Michael Pohle of Flemington, N.J., and his wife, still find it too painful to come to campus for the anniversary
Some families have made their own peace with what happened that day, but the Pohles are among those who have lingering animosity toward administrators and feel they've never received an adequate explanation of officials' actions the morning of the shootings.
events. Instead he says they plan to visit the cemetery near their home where their son, Michael Pohle Jr., is buried.
Holly Sherman, whose daughter Leslie Sherman died, said she will be on campus for the anniversary, but attending the events will be more difficult than last year now that the tragedy is more distant.

LATE REGISTRATION
Important Q&A about JCCC Enrollment Changes
Will late enrollment be allowed in the fall? No. Beginning with the fall 2009 semester, students who wish to enroll in a course must do so before the first day the course meets. Students may not enroll on or after the first day a course begins, regardless of what time of day the class meets. No late enrollment will be allowed.
Will I be able to add a class?
Once the fall 2009 semester begins, you will not be able to add to your schedule a class that has already begun.
You, however, will be able to add a class that begins later in the semester.
If I can't enroll late, what should I do? Enroll early-enrollment begins April 23 for the fall semester! Enrolling early means you will get the best schedule and the best instructor match,and you'll be in class on the first day. Research shows that students who enroll after a class has already started usually don't perform well in that course. By enrolling early,you'll be positioned for a positive start to the semester.
What if I can't enroll early? JCCC offers many courses that begin later in the semester. You can enroll in a late-start course and be there the first day of class.To search for classes that have not yet begun, select the "Late Start" tab on the Credit Class Search on the JCCC Web site.

Homeless population needs campus community's support
Like every other American city, Lawrence has a large permanent homeless population.
admit. Lawrence is a progressive, accepting city, but in order to continue to uphold this positive reputation, our community needs to support the homeless and the organizations that work hard to help them.
In January 2006 the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty named Lawrence the second "meant city" to the homeless in the United States. In April 2006, Helen Hartnett, Ph.D., and Toni Johnson, Ph.D., who work for the School of Social Welfare at the University, gave a survey that found this to be partially true. It also cleared up some of the myths about the homeless people in Lawrence.
The survey found that "many of the people experiencing homelessness in Lawrence are not just passing through or 'transients', but rather have been

people well.
The Salvation Army, which currently has the capability to house 42 homeless people a night, will be closing its location at 10th and Vermont in 15 days to move forward with a new approach to assisting the homeless population. They are asking Congress for $600,000 to fund renovations for a new building location. They hope to place needy families in apartments across the city for as long as two years as they work their way out of homelessness. Unfortunately, this is available for only five families or individuals at a time and will serve only a fraction of the homeless population in the city.

is working toward fundraising $3 million to finance the move. Because a new building will not be available in time, they are also looking for a temporary site to be an accelerated but necessary solution to the Salvation Army closing.
Congress should support the efforts of the Lawrence Community Shelter by approving its request for $600,000 in funding. Students should contact their congressmen to voice their encouragement as well as to volunteering to assist in the shelter's fundraising efforts.

New TV show 'Pitchmen' brings Billy new limelight
It is 2 a.m. and there's a man in my living room, his eyes uneven, face contorting as he confronts me. He could be dragged or delirious. He is aggressive and wants money.
The next two minutes seem like forever. There's no escaping his peddling, nor his junkie energy. Worse yet, he almost has me pull out my credit card and call now. Finally, after I refuse him $19.99 (plus shipping and handling), he fades out of the picture. Family Guy resumes and Vince is gone. Or so I think.
"Hi, it's Vince with Sham Wow — you're going to be saying 'wow every time you use this towel'"
Yesh, he's relentless and cryptic. The 44-year-old Vince Shlomi — after she headd his headset microphone, spiked hair and makeup — slap-chopped a $1,000 hooker in February after she bit down on his tongue and wouldn't let go. The two were arrested but, despite this, Shlomi still turns up in my living room now and then looking for Jacksons. After finally seeing what he does with the money, I'll have to pass.
"Hi, it's Vince with Slap Chop. You're going to be in a great mood all day because you're going to be slapping your troubles away with the Slap Chop."
If being a television pitchman

were a sport, Shlomi would most certainly have been regarded as an up- and coming team. His off-the-set exploits aren't exactly unprecedented around professional athlete circles. Furthermore, Shlomi even has a rival: the legendary Billy Mays, who even pitched a recent ESPN 360 commercial.
If you own a television you've seen him. With a thick beard and distinctive tone, Mays prompts philosophical quandaries with every two-minute pitch. Should I buy dinner tonight or OxiClean? Is this month's utility bill really that pressing when I can order a Samurai Shark sharpener instead?
And that's it. Products that many of us wouldn't even accept for free become must-haves when a manic pitchman jumps out of our television screens. And some of these pitchmen are so engaging that we stay seated when the commercials roll — it's not even the Super Bowl!
On second thought, maybe it has become a sport. Mays and
Swivel Sweeper hawker Anthony Sullivan will debut the new reality show "Pitchmen" tonight at 9 on the Discovery Channel (channel 37). The show will follow the two as they evaluate and pitch new items. It is clear that these guys are no longer just cartoon characters. They're also millionaires, and we made them that way.
The Los Angeles Times' Dan Neil writes: "Cultural historians would do well to mark the show's premiere as the moment when the last scorched stone fell from the wall separating art and commerce. Here, then, is the end of the product-integration rainbow: advertising as entertainment as advertising, with commercials in between."
Sometimes I wonder whether we watch these guys because we are wowed by their product and presentation or because we can relate to them in a way. See, we're all pitchmen in some way — some of us better than others. Some of us obtain beer money after a convincing pitch that our parents' checks will go towards rent. Some of us get out of speeding tickets because, well, officer, we're just going through a rough time right now.

"Nice weather, huh?"
JAMES FARMER
What's funnier than a Kansas weather joke?
Boy, I tell ya what. I've been living in this here state for nigh on 20
take for tonight on 20 years, and I still can't get used to this wacky weather! I mean, one day it's bright and cheery, and the next day it's cold and dreary — just like my wife! It never seems to be able to make up its mind — also just like my wife! In fact, there are nearly 1,000 ways in which Kansas weather is similar to my wife. I would list them all, and to hilarious effect, but I only have so much space. (Editor's note: Alex does not actually have a wife.)
The weather around here changes so often that a few weeks ago, when my son and I made a snowman, we dressed it in a Hawaiian shirt! Hah! Little Timmy has such a great sense of humor. I even put some sunblock on its button nose. Have fun at the beach, Frosty! Because tomorrow it's 80 degrees and sunny! (Editor's note: Alex also does not actually have a son. Especially not one named Little Timmy.)
The best part about Kansas' ever-changing weather is that jokes about it are always fresh and truly side-splitting. It unites people through the miracle of comedy. I can't even count the number of times I've been walking across campus in a hailstorm or heatwave (or both at the same time — hel) when a total stranger sidles up to me and says "Kansas weather, huh?" I can't help but bust out laughing. It's so true! Such keen observations never ever get old.
UNDER OBSERVATION ALEX NICHOLS
HOLS
And another thing — whatever happened to global warming, am I right? Sorry, Al Gore, but the only thing "Inconvenient" about this "Truth" is that I have to wear a winter coat to class in the middle of April! Myth busted!
Most of us realize that the ever-fluctuating weather is simply a flowing fount of comedy gold, bestowed upon us from above by a God or a cabal of gods who simply want us to laugh at the same thing over and over for years on end. There are some people, however, who don't find this very amusing. Those people are lame. They whine and complain, and not in a funny way. Some of them are so irritated, youd think they were injected with werewolf serum. It wouldn't be surprising, because werewolves have terrible senses of humor. Just like my wife!
The rest of us, however,
appreciate the value in making
what should be a trite and
pointless remark into the stuff
of classic jokes and comic strips
So if you don't like the weather,
wait five minutes — somebody
will make you laugh about it.

Recognition would boost cancer center
Designation could help bring leading researchers to Kansas
D. R. C.
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
lhendrick@kansan.com
If the University is recognized as a nationally designated cancer institute it will offer Kansas the opportunity to conduct world-class reasearch. But it will also offer Adam Duerfeidt the opportunity to honor his best friend, who died from pancreatic cancer at age 18.
Duerfeldt, Urbandale, Iowa, graduate student in medicinal chemistry, said losing his childhood baseball buddy solidified his desire to pursue cancer research.
"Tim might have lost his battle, but the qualities I've learned have given me the confidence and determination to help fight the war," Duerfeldt wrote in his personal statement when he applied to graduate school in 2006. The statement is posted on NCAA.org.
"I knew there were big plans in making KU a national powerhouse." Duerfeldt said.
Duerfeldt said he knew the University focused on cancer research, which led to his decision to apply for graduate school.
The KU Cancer Center is officially counting down the days until it can apply for National Cancer Institute designation. According to the countdown on the center's Web site, 893 days remain.
Currently, the University is on track to become the 64th NCI-designated center, just after Stanford and Baylor.
The NCI awards research grants to cancer centers to further their studies. In 2005, Chancellor Robert Hemenway said cancer research would become the University's top priority.
Roy Jensen, director of the University's cancer center, said the University would need the 893 days to prepare for the extensive
application process. The NCI designation is considered the highest recognition for an academic cancer center.
"We have such an incredibly strong school of pharmacy and an incredibly rich history of drug discovery and development," Jensen said.
On Monday, Jensen told U.S. Rep. Todd Tiahwt (R.Kan.) that the University had the expertise to fuel strong relationships between researchers and drug developers, which would make the KU Cancer Center an ideal candidate for NCI designation.
Jensen said he thought bringing NCI designation to Kansas would elevate the overall level of patient care by providing local facilities for treatment. He said the designation would also help create thousands of jobs in the state.
A study published in 2005 by the Perryman Group, a corporate financial analysis firm, predicted that the KU Cancer Center would generate 9,400 jobs in 10 years.
Erica Brown, communications director for the Cancer Center, said the center's first objective was to recruit world-class cancer researchers.
Sharon Daniel
"Bricks, mortar and equipment are important, but the only reason they're important is the people who use them." Provost Richard Lariviere said. Lariviere said it was important to provide researchers with the necessary tools and accommodations in order to obtain NCI designation.
"In order to attract them you have to be able to house their research," Brown said. She said the University currently had limited space to accommodate the research.
The center currently has ties with hospitals around the state, a relationship called the Midwest
Cancer Alliance, to address the 12,500 cases of cancer diagnosed in Kansas each year. Jensen said 5,300 Kansans died each year from cancer.
"Right now we're in the middle of a hole where a huge part of our region is under served," Brown said. She said the cancer center was trying to close the hole.
Duerfeldt said he would continue on his path to find cures for cancer and said losing both his best friend and his grandmother to cancer had made him eternally dedicated to drug research and development.
"It seems like no matter how old you get you know someone with the disease," he said. "It constantly gives you motivation."

HURDLING HAWKS
Traditions go beyond football and basketball
PAGE 1B
BY ALEX BEECHER
abeecher@kansan.com
I arrived on campus several years ago a starry-eyed, self-proclaimed kansas sports expert. Being from Baldwin City (about the closest thing Lawrence has to a suburb) and raised in a family where KU sports came second to nothing. I thought I had a pretty good grasp on layhawk sports.
Who was only player in KU history to make every three-pointer he ever attempted? Scot Pollard — one-for-one. How many Kansas football games have finished in a tie? 57 — an NCAA record.
Of course, my ego has been severely thrashed since then, but never more so than this week — the week of the Kansas Relays.
You see, I sat down a couple of days ago with the intention of writing a preview column for the event. Shouldn't be hard, I thought. After an hour of staring at a blank Google Documents screen, my ignorance in glaring evidence, I decided it was time to do some research.
Good thing, too, because, as it turns out, there's a lot of tradition packed into the Kansas Relays that I simply didn't know about.
The meet also served as an opportunity for the best in Midwest high school track to face off.
The first meet was in 1923. Its fathers were the famous duo of John Ouland (for whom the trophy awarded to college football's best interior lineman is named) and Phog Allen. Through the decades, the event grew into a certificable Event, drawing Olympians and future reality television stars such as Bruce Jenner and local legends such as distance runner extraordinaire Jim Ryun.
Olympians and world-record holders competing right here in Lawrence? Sounds pretty cool. Maybe like the sort of thing you'd like to go watch if it were still happening. But the Relays couldn't bring together that sort of lineup nowadays, could it? What with all the hubbub surrounding a Kansas basketball team that's months away from tipping off and the speculation about the conspicuous absences of two Kansas football players, there's just not enough interest in track and field to create an Event...right?

Freshman hurdlers Keyen Porter of Blue Springs, Mo., Lawson Mongomery of Bennington and Keith Hayes of Wichita will be competing in the Kansas Relays, which begin today at Memorial Stadium. All three raced against each other at last year's Kansas Relays, when they were in high school, with Porter winning the 110-meter hurdles final.
Old foes to run as teammates
Kansas Relays have a different feel for freshmen hurdlers
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
One year ago, as high school seniors, Keith Hayes, Keyen Porter and Lawson Montgomery competed against each other in the 110-meter hurdles at the Kansas Relays. Now, the freshmen will be competing together as teammates for Kansas.
All three qualified for the finals of the boys' 110-meter hurdles last year and none of them knew each other at the time.
Montgomery and Hayes, however, had run against each other
before. Hayes beat Montgomery in the finals of the same event at the 2007 Relays.
Montgomery said he knew that he and Hayes were both interested in competing for the KU Track and Field team and had some words for Hayes right before the race.
"Lawson came up to me before the race and said, 'Hey, teammate,' Hayes said. "And I was like, 'Hey, teammate?' and then he said he was going to KU too, and I was like, 'Oh, nice to meet you.'"
For Montgomery, who took fourth place in the 2007 finals.
coming to the 2008 Relays was the motivation to snatch from Hayes the opportunity to get back-toback victories.
"There was definitely motivation to beat him," Montgomery said, "but I knew I was going against some great athletes."
But one of those athletes, Porter, would beat both Montgomery and Hayes in the finals.
"I didn't know anybody out there," Porter said. "I just showed up and ran."

Kansas wins in extra innings after blowing early 5-0 lead
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
OMAHA, Neb. — Jimmy Waters grew up only 15 minutes from Omaha and Rosenblatt Stadium. The sophomore outfielder's childhood daydreams consisted of playing at the annual home of the College World Series.
Even though it wasn't the World Series, Waters still lived a dream he'd had for years.
Adding to the fun was that No. 24 Kansas defended its new ranking — the Jayhawks battled to a been able to follow his progress 7-6 extra-inning victory against only on the Internet and through the Creighton Blue.
"It's one of the reasons I play college baseball — because I want to play here in the College World Series," Waters said. "It's an awesome park."
"It was nice to come here and have at least one hit and an RBI in a key situation."

"It was nice to come here and have at least one
to have done it in the ninth, but I'm sure I'll have another chance somewhere down the road"
It was an easy decision for coach Ritch Price to put Waters in the lineup, even though Waters had only two hits in his past 11 games and had dropped his spot as the regular designated hitter, especially against opposing left-handed starters.
"There were no doubts," Price said. "I mean, we're coming back to his hometown. He was going to play tonight regardless if they
started a left-hander."
Although Waters enjoyed the homecoming, Kansas as a team worked out of some tough situations late.
Kansas had a lot of energy early, but the momentum swung rapidly in the later innings, before the Jayhawks put away a tough Bluejay club that was 11-2 in its past 13 games.
It appeared early on that Kansas wouldn't have to worry about a

As the grounds crew swept on the infield on Tuesday, the Kansas softball team was all smiles. After the Jayhawks did some sweeping of their own against UMKC, there wasn't much else to do.
"It felt really good to go out and win two" junior pitcher Sarah
The Jayhaws celebrate after junior Amanda Jobe's walk-off home run. The Jayhawks run-ruled UMKC 8-0 in game one of a doubleheader and won game 7-2.
Vertelka said.
Having split their last four series, the Jayhawks (16-23) took care of business at home with 8-0 and 7-2 victories over the Kangaroos (14-29). The two victories were solid all-around efforts from Kansas, who came out swinging hot bats against UMKC.
Senior outfielder Dougie McCaulley had a stellar day, notching four hits with one RBI while scoring five runs from her leadoff spot.

COMMENTARY
Work continues in offseason
In the world of Division-I sports, seasons end only in the sense that games are no longer played. But with recruiting, recovering from injuries or simply working out in the offseason, the preparation and grind never come to a full stop.
So, as a tribute to that mentality, here are three facets of Kansas women's basketball's offseason to this point. After all, coaches always say the offseason is where the real work is done.
Late in Kansas' Feb. 22 victory against Iowa State, sophomore forward Nicollette Smith hobbled to the sideline without putting weight on her right leg.

leg, more specifically her right knee, was a problem.
Last week coach Bonnie Henrickson said Smith had surgery April 7.
"They're going in to clean it up," Henrickson said. "We don't know what exactly it is."
BY JAYSON JENKS
jienks@kansan.com
Smith averaged 6.4 points and 4.5 rebounds while starting 34 of Kansas' 36 games this season. But the nagging knee problem did seem to affect Smith, especially late in the season.
She made just one of 17 three-pointers during Kansas' final nine games and appeared slowed by her knee, which she wore in a brace for much of the season.
"She was in too much pain down the stretch." Henrickson said. "She played on one leg."
In her five years at Kansas, Henrickson hasn't shied away from playing freshmen and newcomers. And she'll have a large incoming group to work with in the offseason.
SIGNEES IN LAWRENCE
THIS SUMMER
Henrickson hauled in five players for the 2009-2010 season.
"Young players have played and produced in this program before, and that's exciting when you're coming in," Henrickson said. "But all these kids have great respect for what these
returners did this year."
Still, the layhawks could use more depth off the bench next season — a role Henrickson said any one of the five newcomers could fill.
"I don't look at any one of them and say 'Well, she's not going to be able to do that,'" Hendrickson said.
The five signes will join Kansas' returning players in Lawrence this summer.
KANSAS' RETURNING OFFENSE
This season, Kansas' offense normally ran through two players; junior forward Danielle
McCray and junior guard Sade Morris.

Vick continues journey back to Leavenworth
RICHMOND, Va. — Suspended NFL star Michael Vick has begun the third leg of his trip back to a federal penitentiary in Kansas.
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons Web site showed Tuesday that Vick has left the federal prison in Atlanta.
Vick was held in a local jail for several days after he was brought to Newport News to testify at his bankruptcy hearing earlier this month.

Minor league team signs 10-year lease to play
A judge threw out Vick's bankruptcv plan.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — A Kansas City suburb has approved a 10-year lease with a minor league hockey team to play in its new events center.
The judge also rejected an effort to keep Vick in the area while he works on a new bankruptcy plan, clearing the way for his return to Leavenworth, where he is serving 23 months for bankrolling a dogfighting ring.
The unnamed Central Hockey League team committed to play at least 30 games per season at the Independence Events Center, now under construction. Members of the Independence
City Council unanimously approved the lease Monday night
The city hopes that about 150 events will be booked each year, including concerts, trade shows and scholastic sports games.
Details about franchise are expected to emerge before the end of the month.

NFL
Chiefs will have long road trips in 2009
BY DOUG TUCKER
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs fans wanting to take some fall vacation without missing any home games should book travel this year in September or November.
In a 2009 schedule released Tuesday that reflects their 2-14 record last year, the Chiefs will play only one home game in each of those two months. But in both October and December, they'll play at Arrowhead Stadium three times.
Every home game starts at noon on Sunday. The NFL did not invite Kansas City to play on a holiday or a Monday night, either home or away.
Unless something is changed late in the season under the flexibility agreement with television, the Chiefs' only night games will be the four exhibition contests in August and early September.
The season for first year head coach Todd Haley and his team could be challenging. His rebuilding Chiefs will have six games against five 2008 playoff teams, including the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers at home on Nov. 22.
The Chiefs will open the regular season at Baltimore on Sept. 13, and open their home schedule the next week against Oakland. It'll be the second year in a row they play Oakland in their first game in front of the home fans.
In addition to their home-an-
home series against AFC West
rivals, the Chiefs' home game opponents include the Steelers, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Brown.
From Nov. 22 through Dec. 20, the Chiefs will play four of five at home, including their first three-game homestand since 1996.
Kansas City is at Philadelphia on Sept. 27, then at home the two following Sundays against the Giants and Cowboys. On Oct. 18, they make their first regular-season trip to Washington in eight years, then they're home on Oct. 25 against San Diego.
Their open date is the next week. Then they resume action with road games on Nov. 8 at Jacksonville and Nov. 15 at Oakland. After hosting the Steelers on Nov. 22, they're at San Diego on Nov. 29.

Freshman running back rises to top
Freshman running back Rell Lewis looks for a hole in the White team's defense during the Jayhawks' April 11 spring game at Memorial Stadium. Lewis, who didn't letter in 2008, led all rushers with 65 yards on 32 carries.
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
Weston White/KANSAM
In the first big public showcase for next season — in front of an estimated 17,000 people — freshman running back Rell Lewis surprised even the most avid Kansas fan.
Last season, Lewis played sparingly, with most of his time spent on special teams. He made three tackles and didn't letter.
Yet the beauty of spring football is the sense of optimism and the tendency for surprise that seems to sprout as soon as the weather turns warm. On a crisp Saturday with clouds speckling the sky, Lewis rushed for 64 yards on 14 carries and added 50 yards on two receptions.
"We've been waiting for Rell to surface," coach Mark Mangino said. "He's kind of a quiet guy, a little bit unassuming."
As players hinted after the game, that's why Lewis' name is still relatively unknown to most.
But Lewis' quick bursts and ability to shed larger defenders didn't seem to faze, let alone shock, those who share time with him on the practice field.
"I mean, Rell's been making plays all spring," junior quarterback Todd Reesing said. "He's extremely strong for his size. His lower body strength is unbelievable, so he's got that ability to burst and break tackles."
Shortly after the Blue team defeated the White team 20-7 on Saturday, players inside Mrkonic Auditorium raved about Lewis' athletic ability.
If Lewis is going to contribute
next season next to Reesing —
But Mangino and his players quickly noted the need for Lewis to develop consistency and sharpen his practice habits.
the practice field will serve as the greatest determinant.
"Today, he showed that he's a capable player." Mangino said. "He just needs to develop consistency about his work habits and his play and he can help us."
Added Reesing: "With Rell, he's just got to continue to learn the offense and understand the plays and the assignments he has to execute. He's definitely a guy we're going to look to help us out next year."
Late in the third quarter, with the Blue team nursing a lead, Lewis threw a block from his running back position on a blitzing defender, which allowed junior quarterback Kerry Meier to find Wilson for a 32-yard gain.
run or broken tackle, displays the types of improvements Lewis has made and must continue to make this offseason.
"The biggest thing I've improved in is just making my reads," Lewis said.
Lewis started the spring game with the White team — the team normally reserved for second-string players. As the game wore on, Lewis shifted to the Blue team after starting junior running back Jake Sharp exited in the second half.
Mangino said he made the move to fill positions on the field. With the suspension of junior running back Jocques Crawford, Kansas played just three running backs on Saturday.
Running behind the first-team offensive line, Lewis carried the
ball 12 times for 56 yards.
"Oh, man, Rell tore it up," sophomore wide receiver Jonathan Wilson said. "He's just real good and shifty."
Freshman center Jeremiah Hatch came to Kansas in the same recruiting class with Lewis and watched as Lewis developed and unveiled his potential last season.
Now, at this point in the offseason, Lewis seems to be on the fringe of earning a spot in the running back rotation.
"He's a quiet guy, but he'll just surprise you," Wilson said. "He'll be out there and then bust a big play. That quiet demeanor makes him surprising. He'll catch you off guard."

In the finals of that event, Porter got the victory with a time of 14.14 seconds, edging out Hayes by .18 seconds. Montgomery finished in fifth place.
Porter said he felt good about his performance during the race.
"When I was sitting in the blocks, I was telling myself that I can do this," Porter said. "I know I can win, and I went out and I did."
Porter said he had no idea who Hayes and Montgomery were at the time, or that Hayes had won the event the previous year. And the chance meeting didn't cross Porter's mind until later, when all three were talking about the event one day at a Jawhaks practice.
"They started talking about it and how they said they ran in it," Porter said. "Then I realized that Keith was the person on my outside that I was thinking about midrace like, 'Who is this guy trying to come and beat me?'
Haves, Porter and Montgomery agreed the Relays were a special event in their track careers a year ago in high school.
"If you got to go, that meant you
were. Hayes said. "So to actu
ally go and compete against the best of the best and then beat some of the best actually meant something, not just going to another track meet."
All three will be returning to compete in the hurdles events at this year's Relays, this time wearing Kansas jerseys.
"It hits home, because it's a home meet, and you want to keep that tradition going that it used to have," Montgomery said. "It's more meaningful because it's a home meet and you want to show off for the home crowd."

Oh, I'm sorry — that's incorrect. We would have accepted any reasonable variation on "absolutely dead wrong." Sure, the name Kansas Relays may not have the same cache it did in the '50s, but that doesn't mean the level of talent competing has dropped off.

Oscar De La Hoya looks on during an official weigh-in for Winky Wright and Paul Williams in Las Vegas, Friday. If De La Hoya had dodged Manny Pacquiao's punches, the next step in the Golden Boy's boxing career would be in doubt.
LOS ANGELES — Oscar De La Hoya called it quits in the ring Tuesday, ending a career in which he won 10 world titles in six divisions and became boxing's most popular fighter.
He announced his decision at an outdoor plaza across the street from Staples Center, where a statue of the 36-year-old Golden Boy stands.
"I've come to the conclusion that it's over," the East Los Angeles native said before hundreds of fans, including comedian George Lopez and Oscar-nominated actor and former fighter Mickey Rourke. "It's over inside the ring for me."
De La Hoya retires four months after he was thoroughly beaten by Manny Pacquiao, his fourth loss in his last seven fights. He has not defeated a formidable opponent since Fernando Vargas in 2002. Age and diminished skills led to losses in recent years to Felix Trinidad, Shane Mosley, Bernard Hopkins and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Hewon his last title in May 2006, beating Ricardo Mayorga in six rounds for the WBC 154-oound belt. He finished with a record of 39-6 and 30 knocks.
"This is the love of my life, boxing is my passion, boxing is what I was born to do." De La Hoya said. "When I can't do it anymore,
when I can't compete at the highest level, it's not fair. It's not fair to me, it's not fair to the fans, it's not fair to nobody."
De La Hoya transcended his sport, generating crossover appeal among Latinos and whites. He was especially popular among women, who filled his news conferences and fights.

BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 19)
close game. The Jayhawks raced to a 5-0 lead after the fourth innning. Freshman outfielder Jason Brunansky hit a towering three-run home run in the second, which started the scoring, and Kansas used the small ball it has been known for this season and a couple of spectacular plays in the infield.
"I wouldn't classify myself as a power-hitter," Brunansky said. "Home runs are accidents. That was an accident."
Junior right-hander Brett Bollman pitched strongly in the seventh inning, leaving the team with a 5-1 lead. But the normally reliable Jayhawk bullpen failed down the stretch.
When Creighton came up to bat in the bottom of the seventh, the wheels came off for Kansas. Two errors with two outs in the inning provided fuel for a Bluejay rally — they scored three runs to pull the score to 5-4.
"They've been outstanding," Price said. "But you got to learn from your mistakes."
Junior left-hander Travis Blankenship came into the seventh inning facing a bases-loaded situ
ation with two outs.
Junior second baseman Robby Price finally gave the layhawks the lead for good after his sacrifice brought home sophomore outfielder Casey Lytle.
Blankenship got a strikeout that sent the Kansas dugout into a frenzy.
"It turned out he threw a fastball away," Robby Price said. "I missed the first one, but he came back with it and I was lucky enough to get it to left field deep enough to score the runner."
Sophomore right-hander Brett Bochy closed the door in the bottom of the 10th with two strikeouts, and the layhaws celebrated their 24th victory of the season.
But the happiest jayhawk had to be Waters. After all, how many ballplayers get to come home and live out their childhood dreams?
"It was a great trip; it's fun to come back home," Waters said. "You don't want to go back on the bus with a loss after coming home and seeing people from home seeing you play."

Jayhawks show they can win in Omaha
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
OMAHA, Neb. — With Tuesday night's victory against the Creighton Bluejays, No. 24 Kansas moved to 1-0 at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha. The Jayhawks hope to improve on that record sometime around mid-June.
That's when the College World Series will be played here, as it is every year, in the same stadium where the Jayhawks knocked off Creigh
ton by the final tally of 7-6. Junior second baseman Robby Price said he thought the team could make it back.
"Definitely," Price said without hesitation. "We're playing real well — we believe in ourselves. We've got a lot of confidence, some swagger. I wouldn't want to be a team that's playing us right now. We've got a little moxie, and that's a good thing."
The Jayhawks' performance Tuesday could serve as a checklist of how to get back to Omaha for the World Series.
They'll need big-time performances from role players. Check.
Freshman outfielder Jason Brunansky started the Jayhawk scoring with a full-count, two-out, three-run home run in the second inning.

"I wasn't sure off the bat, but I knew I hit it good so I was trying to beat it out, trying to get a triple out of it." Brumansky said. "I slipped, so I took a peek up and I saw the center fielder and left fielder just staring at each other and I go. "That went out!"

The Jayhawks will need clutch performances at the plate to be back here. Check.
Kansas' first six runs came with two outs. Only the deciding tally, in the top of the 10th inning, came with one out, when Robby Price scored Casey Lyle on a sacrifice飞.
Of course, to get to the postseason, the layhawks will need their starting pitching to continue to excel. Big check.
The Jayhawks got 6 1/3 strong innings from junior Brett Bollman, who allowed only one earned run on five hits. The outing was the longest of his career, by innings and pitch count.
"That was fantastic," Brunansky said. "He came out and threw six and a third, just, shining innings."
There are a couple of boxes, though, that the Jayhawks left unmarked Tuesday night. The bullpen struggled mightily, allowing six runs in only three innings of work. The defense, despite pulling off a few show-stopping plays, committed a season-high four errors, including two in the seventh inning, which led to three Creighton runs.
"They got a leadoff double, and the next guy hammered a ball over Brunansky's head." Price said. "But he makes the great backhanded catch in centerfield and takes a double off the board, so that could have started with back-to-back doubles with no outs. So, we made some really good plays also."

the team lead for RBI (22).
"Our game plan was to run the bases on their outfielders," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We wanted to force the issue and be very aggressive taking bases."
Hitting aside, Kansas got excellent pitching on Tuesday, highlighted by eight strong innings from Vertelka. The junior hurler pitched in both games, striking out 11 Kangaroo batters while only allowing two hits.
"Sarah pitched very well for us," Bunge said. "For as good as she was in the first game, she was even sharper in the second one."
Freshman Sarah Blair also saw time in the circle, making only her second start of the season. She notched her first win in the
second game, where she pitched four innings, allowing two runs while fanning two.
"Blair was solid today." Bunge said. "She's continuing to adapt to playing at the collegiate level; it was real good to get her some innings."
With the lopsided scores, Blair wasn't the only Kansas reserve to get on the field in game two, as players such as junior outfielders Ally Stanton and Alicia Irwin also saw action. Irwin even notched her first RBI of the season, a double to the right-field gap in the sixth inning.

With the two victories, Kansas has won three games in a row and four of its last five. The team will look to keep the ball rolling when they head to Austin to take on No. 20 Texas this weekend.

Athletics meets benchmark
Every Kansas sports team met the NCAA Academic Progress Rate required to avoid penalties
BY ADAM SAMSON asamson@kansan.com
For the first time in Kansas history, every sports team was above the NCAAS requisite 925 Academic Progress Rate score. Kansas released the numbers to local media Wednesday morning.
The APR measures the standards for academic performance of athletics teams based on the eligibility of athletes, retention of athletes and the graduation rates
of each student athlete on scholarship. The NCAA began releasing APRS five years ago.
Associate Athletics Director Paul Buskirk said 925 was the "magic number" for teams to achieve so they would not be subject to penalties or NCAA supervision.
An APR of 925 projects an NCAA Graduation Success Rate of 60 percent.
Three years ago, football, baseball and women's basketball all earned sub-925 APRs. As a result,
football lost two scholarships and baseball lost partial scholarships.
The APR allows for exceptions if student athletes leave for a legitimate reason such as a transition to professional sports and medical or financial hardships, but only if they would have been academically eligible had they returned for another year.
Kansas released its data before the NCAA released the data for all Division I teams. The NCAA should release its data in the next
few weeks.
"it's better to be in control of your own release date," Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said. "It's our effort to educate the general public and media ahead of time."
Below are the multi-year Academic Progress Rates (APR) for each of Kansas' athletic teams. The arrows indicate whether the multi-year rates improved from last year's rates.

Perkins eligible for extra $750k
BY ADAM SAMSON asamson@kansan.com
Lew Perkins will be eligible for a $2.05 million retention payment from Kansas Athletics Inc. on June 30, $750,000 more than his contract originally called for.
In an effort to keep Perkins at the University, Chancellor Robert Hemenway instituted a payment agreement with Perkins when he was hired in 2003. The original agreement called for a $1.3 million payment if Perkins stayed with the University through June 2009, a period of six years. But after Perkins rejected a job offer from an unnamed university in 2006, the agreement was amended to add $750,000 to make the retention payment $2.05 million.
University spokeswoman Lynn Bretz said the $2.05 million payment would come from Athletics Department funds and would be payable to Perkins in August.
Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said Kansas Athletics Inc. had a revenue of roughly $52 million in 2008,
which came from sources such as the NCAA,the Big 12 Conference, sponsorships and television contracts.
Hemenway said that in 2004 when Perkins was hired, they drafted two contracts, one outlining his annual salary and the other for contingent compensation if he stayed for six years with the University.
Bretz said the retention payment agreement was a document in which universities and coaches mutually agreed to seek the best interests of the university and the athletics department.
"Retention bonuses are fairly normal in the sports world with prominent coaches and athletics directors," Bretz said.
Marchiony said he thought there was interest in Perkins' retention payment because it was so close to the payout date.
All state records show that the payment of the bonus would come from Kansas Athletics Inc. funds and not through state funds.

Kansas wins Hearst prize
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
Doug Ward, assistant professor of journalism, said the award was reflective of the students and the teachers in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
The University of Kansas won first place in the Hearst Journalism Awards Program 2008-2009 Intercollegiate Writing Competition.
"It fits with the tradition of the school," Ward said. "Strong writing, strong reporting and strong editing."
Ward said the award was a tribute to Ted Frederickson, former newspaper reporting professor.
Matt Erickson, Olathe senior and repeat Hearst winner, said Frederickson was a central part to winning the award.
"He's really great at working with people," Erickson said. "I definitely couldn't have done my stories at that level without his help."
"It shows that the School of Journalism is a top-notch institution and The Kansan is a top-notch student newspaper," Erickson said.

Erickson said he was proud and humbled to receive the award.

The law says a husband can demand sex with his wife every four days unless she is ill or would be harmed by intercourse. It also regulates when and for what reasons a wife may leave her home alone.
Abbas Noyan, a Shiite lawmaker from Kabul who is against the law, said he is hopeful that it will be changed to delete the articles that restrict women's rights. But the review's outcome is uncertain, and some Cabinet ministers have been reluctant to take a position on it.
ing for the tombs of Cleopatra and Mark Antony, who committed suicide in 31 B.C, will begin excavating three sites at a temple where tombs may be located, Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities said in a statement Wednesday.
CAIRO — Archaeologists look-
ROME — italy's interior minister has estimated that at least €12 billion (about $16 billion) will be needed to reconstruct the area ravaged by an earthquake more than a week ago. The 6.3-magnitude quake that struck the central Abruzzo region on April 6 killed 294 people. It leveled or damaged tens of thousands of homes and other buildings.
Last year archaeologists unearthed the alabaster head of a Cleopatra statue, 22 coins bearing Cleopatra's image and a mask believed to belong to Mark Antony at the temple.
Of the 1,467 buildings checked as of Monday, authorities said 53

4. Law requires young drivers to display decal
TRENTON, N.J. — A first-in-the-nation law in New Jersey will require new drivers ages 21 and younger to display identifying decals on their vehicles. Gov. Jon Corzine signed the law Wednesday; it takes effect next year.
The decals will be a small reflective rectangle attached to the front and rear license plates to help police enforce restrictions on probationary drivers, motor vehicle officials said. Police will use them to determine whether teens are violating the state driving curfew and passenger restrictions, said Pam Fischer, director of the New Jersey Division of Highway Safety.
5. No DNA found on car; case may still go to trial
DALLAS—Texas prosecutors say they still plan to take to trial a racially charged murder case against two white men accused of running down a black man with
a pickup truck, even though they have no physical evidence or eyewitnesses linking the suspects to the crime. Special prosecutor Toby Shook said this week that forensic testing on the undercarriage of the pickup truck owned by one of the defendants turned up no DNA belonging to the victim.
6. Thousands protest government spending
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Thousands of protesters gathered around the nation Wednesday for a series of rallies modeled after the original Boston Tea Party. They chose the income tax filing deadline to express their displeasure with government spending since President Barack Obama took office.
The protests were held everywhere from Kentucky, which just passed tax increases on cigarettes and alcohol, to South Carolina, where the governor has repeatedly criticized the $787 billion economic stimulus package Congress passed earlier this year.

Students' lives honored

rburchfield@kansan.com
Dominique Mavridorakis was at a loss for words.
Mavridorakis, a native French speaker, said he could not find words in the English language to express his gratitude to those who planted a tree behind Summerfield
Hall on campus in honor of his son, Dimitri Mavridorakis, who died after suffering injuries in a car accident on Feb. 7.
"For me it is a sign that — I can't explain it in English — that my son is not alone."

Nick Arthachina, Lawrence first year MBA student and the
Mavridorakis said "It shows your mind is with him and it makes me warm to my heart."
"With spring being the season of renewal, it's a nice thing to honor their memories."
Mavridorakis, his wife and one of his sons were in Lawrence this week to attend the dedication of a tree yesterday to honor Mavridorakis, who was a student in the School of Business' MBA
DEE STEINLE MBA adviser
president of the Graduate Business Council, said plans to plant a tree in Mavridorakis' memory were set immediately following his death. But, because Mavridorakis passed away in February and the season wasn't right.
the planting and dedication were delayed until this week.
Arthachinda said students in the MBA program were tight-knit and that the losses of Mavridorakis and Ballenger were like losing two brothers.
"Everyone notices someone's gone, someone's missing," Arthachinda said. "We're pretty
much a family. We're an MBA program, but we're all so close
Dee Steinle, the adviser to master's students in the School of Business, knew both Mavridorakis and Ballenger very well, she said. Steinle said Dominique Mavridorakis approached her about planting the tree in honor of his son and said it felt very natural to put up not just one tree but two for both Mavridorakis and Ballenger.
She said that as she leaves Summerfield Hall every day after her workday is through, she looks back at the trees — just seedlings now — and the sight makes her happy.
"With spring being the season of renewal, it's a nice thing to honor their memories," Steinle said. "It'll give way for us to do some healing, and as we see the trees grow, it will remind us of them."
"I just smile," Steinle said. "They're little seedlings with promise — and it's a healing sight to see them there."

DAVIS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
sented the case and filed the appeal on behalf of United Students, said the appeal would address several procedural errors made by the hearing board. He said that the complaint was not filed on time and that the board failed to notify United Students of the complaint two days before the hearing. If the judicial board, the body to hear the appeal, agrees that procedural errors occurred, the decision to remove Davis from the election would be overturned.
Jan Sheldon, judicial board chairwoman, said that the time-line the board operated on would depend on several factors, including how soon an appeals panel
could gather and hear information. She said that the judicial board would have 30 days following the hearing to submit a decision.
"The judicial board will try to follow its procedures to ensure that all the parties are treated fairly," Sheldon said. "We wouldn't go outside of the procedures but we would try to follow those as expeditiously as we can."
"We've worked hard to reach out and to find senators to run with us who are excited to get
started," Davis said. "I'm going to help them just as much as I would have if I wasn't going through this situation."
Matt Bristow/KANSAN
If the judicial board chooses to uphold the original decision to expel Davis from the election, United Students would have four days to name a new vice presidential candidate. If it is overturned and United Students wins the election, Davis will be allowed to serve as student body vice president. Because of the length of the judicial process, the decision could take up to six weeks after the close of the election.

Students protest tax increases
BY BETSY CUTCLIFF bcutcliff@kansan.com
While the only tax law that has been passed under the Obama administration was a $116 billion tax cut for the working class, legislation that would raise taxes is currently working its way through Congress. But the nuts and bolts of the increase wasn't what drew Stewart-Starks to the protests. He said he wanted to support opening a dialogue about the issues that affect students when they don't
"Tax increases are unfair and we need to do something about it," Shovykhet said.
even know it.
Tea parties aren't just for little girls. Last night, Americans around the nation voiced their anger about tax increases at area tea parties, named for the famous Boston uprising that led to the revolution. University of Kansas students William Stewart-Starks, Lawrence senior, and Michael Shoykhet, Olathe junior, attended a party at Johnson County Community College to join in the tax day protest.
"I don't believe people understand where their money is going from income taxes," Stewart-Starks said.
Protestors had concerns that the government was putting future generations into debt to pay for current problems. Congressman Todd Tiahart of Kansas' fourth district spoke at the JCCC tea party and said that the tax system needed to be reformed, not increased.
"We need to rebuild our country from the ground up, not from the government down," Tiahart said.
Michael Lynch, assistant professor of political science, said it was important for students to be able to track where the finances of the country come from and go to. The recent passage of the stimulus bill was President Obama's attempt to jump-start the economy and to help working Americans get out of debt. Some of the proposed increases include a heavier tax on energy producers, cigarettes and individuals making more than $100,000 of taxable income per year.
One of the groups sponsoring many of the demonstrations
was Americans for Prosperity, a Washington, D.C., based group that supports cutting taxes and limiting government involvement in Americans' lives. According to the group's Web site, the purpose is to advocate public policies that promote entrepreneurship.
Derrick Sontag, state director of the Kansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity, said the goal of the tea parties was to get American citizens involved and aware of where their tax dollars were going, especially with the recent passing of the stimulus package.
"You cannot spend your way into prosperity." Sontag said.
Thousands of Kansans turned up at local tea parties, including ones held in Topeka, Kansas City and Overland Park. Sontag said he hoped the turnout would encourage more people to investigate the current tax system.

What students are saying about Dons
Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noses and the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handled these things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college. I had heard about Don's Auto from some friends and through the Kansan, so I decided to give them a call. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super understanding.
What impressed me most, was that they offered to call my dad and consult with him every step of the way. Now, I always take my car to Dons!

Right: a small angel statue, part of a shrine made of objects found on the trail, prays at the No More Deaths campite. No More Deaths keeps a running tally of confirmed deaths in the desert, which is now in the 180s for this fiscal year, but estimates suggest that only approximately one out of 10 bodies is found and counted because of the size of the region. "You grieve for the dying," said John Heid, a regular volunteer for No More Deaths. "And then you fight like hell for the living."

Juan, center, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, rests with the other members of his group in a first aid tent at a No More Deaths campsite. The group was found lost, with very little food and no drinkable water, near one of the numerous migrant trails that wind through the desert. Migrants making the crossing often have insufficient equipment and are unable to carry enough water to make it all the way through the desert, which causes many to die of exposure.
The sun sets on southern Arizona's mountainous desert terrain that separates the U.S. from Mexico, through which an estimated 400,000 to 600,000 migrants pass during the busiest months of February by the Border Patrol and deported.
Jon Goering/KANSAN
BY JON JOERING jGoering@kansan.com
Six KU students decided to drive down to southern Arizona this spring break to do volunteer work for a local humanitarian aid organization, No More Deaths. The non-profit organization works to prevent the deaths of migrants crossing the U.S./Mexico border through the heavily traveled Tucson corridor by leaving food and water on the trails. They also provide medical aid to anyone in need. The program for the students was organized through Alternative Spring Breaks at the University.
Juan, a hopeful migrant, said he and his group thought they knew where
Tucson was, but they didn't. They had been hiking in the desert for four days, the last two of which they spent separated from their group, lost and with very little food and no drinkable water. They ate just one meal a day in the morning: three tortillas and a small amount of beans. They drank cattle water for the last few days, even though they knew it was bad for them. "We had no choice," Juan said. "We were thirsty."
They hadn't seen anybody during all four days of hiking. They thought about just turning themselves in and facing the consequences, rather than risking death from exposure in the desert; a reality many seem to acknowledge as a possible ending when crossing.

Maldorph left his wife and four young children in the U.S. to visit his dying father in Mexico. He also left his apple-pick job. Maldorph said he showed her a paycheck and he was getting paid almost nothing for his work. During his trip through the desert to get back to his family, he was deserted by the guide he had hired with $1,200 to lead him through the desert. He wandered for five days, eventually reaching a road where he tried to hitchhike. Eventually he was picked up by the Border Patrol and deported back to Mexico, away from his wife and kids.

The region, which has weather ranging from scorching-hot days and freezing-cold nights, is an area. March and April. The migrants tend to move only at night because they are afraid of being picked up
In the safety of the first aid tent, the migrants might have been thinking that if they hadn't encountered No More Deaths in the middle of the desert, they would have had to turn themselves in for deportation. The reality, though, is that they likely would have died.
KU student Mohammad Basit, Lawrence freshman, decided to spend his spring break helping No More Deaths carry water to drop points on migrant trails. He was one of the volunteers who found Juan and his group. He said that at first he was apprehensive about the group of migrants.
"You're always seeing the negative side first," Basit said. "I thought for a second they might be dangerous."
But he said his perception quickly
changed. "They are just innocent people trying to make money for their families," he said, "and that's why they are traveling to the U.S."
Many who choose to make the crossing don't know how difficult the walk through the desert is and are often lied to by coyotes, people who make money by guiding groups. The organization found Roberto, a grandfather in his 50s, alone in the desert on March 19. He had been told it was a 10-hour hike to Tucson from the border. When No More Deaths located Roberto, he was still 63 miles from Tucson, barely able to walk and nearly out of food and water.

Dalorph reflects in front of a shrine that was built in remembrance of a 14-year-old girl from El Salvador named Josseline Janiletha Hernandez Quinteros who died after getting separated from her brother while trying to join members of her family in the U.S. No More Deaths volunteers found her body. The volunteers relayed her story to the silent group of students. "That's a death that you know a lot about what the person was feeling right before they died and that's a huge weight." Dalorph says pausing afterward. "That's a lot," she says finally, "I had wanted to understand her experience, and suddenly I was just overwhelmed by it."

KU students Samantha Collins, left, and Jessica Burger mark the water jugs their group left for migrants during a patrol. "They are families traveling with children," Burger said. "And it's just to make a better life. Some of them are even pregnant because if they give birth in the United States, their child is a United States citizen, and you have them dying just because they can't get basic water and food." When Samantha began the week, she was a little on the fence about the work the organization does. "I'm not supportive about illegal immigration," she says. "But I don't believe people should have to die trying to have a better life in the United States. I don't believe people should have to go through all of these hardships to cross the border."

"If we don't help them, they're going to die. They need someone to help them, and I feel that's our place. Someone's got to do it, and if it has to be me, I'm going to be the one that does it."

Woody Allen sues American Apparel
LARRY NEUMEISTER
Associated Press
NEW YORK — A clothing company known for its racy ads is fighting a $10 million lawsuit brought by Woody Allen, arguing that it can't have damaged his reputation by using his image because the film director has already ruined it himself.
The 73-year-old Allen started the fight against American Apparel Inc. when he sued the company last year for using his image on the company's billboards in Hollywood and New York and on a Web site.
Allen, who does not endorse products in the United States, said he had not authorized the displays, which the Los Angeles-based company said were up for only a week.
Now the company plans to make Allen's relationships to actress Mia Farrow and her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn the focus of a trial scheduled to begin in federal court in Manhattan on May 18, according to the company's lawyer, Stuart
Slotnick.
"Woody Allen expects $10 million for use of his image on billboards that were up and down in less than one week. I think Woody Allen overestimates the value of his image," Slotnick said.
"Certainly, our belief is that after the various sex scandals that Woody Allen has been associated with, corporate America's desire to have Woody Allen endorse their product is not what he may believe it is."
One billboard featured a frame from "Annie Hall," a film that won Allen a best-director Oscar. The image showed Allen dressed as a Hasidic Jew with a long beard and black hat and Yiddish text. The words "American Apparel" also were on the billboard.
Slotnick said it was not a cheap shot to bring up Allen's sex life in a lawsuit over the billboard and
Allen's lawsuit said the billboard falsely implied that Allen sponsored, endorsed or was associated with American Apparel.
"It's certainly relevant in assessing the value of an endorsement," he said, noting that Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps lost endorsement power after a photograph surfaced of him using marijuana.
Farrow starred in several Allen's movies during a relationship with the director that ended in 1992, when she discovered he was having an affair with her oldest adopted daughter, then 22. Allen married Soon-Yi Previn in 1997.

During a bitter custody fight, Farrow accused Allen of sexually abusing their adopted daughter Dylan, 7. Allen was exonerated of the abuse charges, but Farrow won sole custody of the children.
Leslee Dart, a spokeswoman for Allen, said Friday that she does not believe Allen wants to comment on the litigation at this point.
American Apparel is known for its provocative ads of scantily dressed young models in tight-fitting and sometimes see-through garments.
Allen testified at a December deposition that he considered the company's advertising to be "sleazy" and "infantile."

The former cast member of the MTV reality show was feeling more than a little anxious. "I want to get this thing started, because the sooner I do it, the sooner it'll be over," he said Wednesday, "I'm kind of just getting antys with time."
NEW YORK — Ryan Conklin, the impish, guitar-playing merry prankster of this season's "The Real World: Brooklyn," was packing his guitar to head off to Iraq on Sunday.
TELEVISION Real World cast member leaves for Baghdad
He hopes to serve a rotation of just nine months.
It was one of the show's most poignant moments: His brother called with the news, and Conklin's emotional reaction ran the gamut from denial to disbelief to tears.
Conklin, who voiced his opposition to the war and participated in a Veterans Day parade on the show, touched the hearts
The 23-year-old Gettysburg, Pa., native was on the front lines three years ago. He received his deployment notice while living in the "Real World" house.
of viewers who sympathized with his predicament.
"I knew it could happen." Conklin said of being redeployed. "I really wish it never did, but it did."
"They're all here," he said in an interview from Fort Bragg, N.C. "They're all pretty bitter ... Misery loves company, so we stick together."
He estimates there are hundreds of soldiers in his brigade who've been recalled to active duty through the Army's Individual Ready Reserve program.
Conklin enlisted in the Army at age 17, spurred to take action following 9/11. In his previous experience in Iraq, he constantly risked death and, in lighter moments, played soccer with Iraqi children. He also played his guitar.
He has no regrets.
"It's opened my eyes to see this, do things and learn things about myself and other people — and in any other environment, I wouldn't have gotten that experience. ... it's kind of cool just to look back at what I did and actually be proud of what I did. If I could do it all over again, I'd do it again," he said.

Olympic village highlights gap between athletics, academics
U Athletics latest expansion announcement this time for an Olympic development for tech
Village-style development and field, soccer and softball has brought to the forefront several persistent questions regarding the relationship between KU Athletics and the rest
compliance. Undoubtedly, the new facility will benefit the University and its athletes, which should not be overlooked.
KANSAN'S
OPINION
The Olympic Village project is simply the latest in a long line of building projects that have dramatically changed the face of athletics at the University in the past six years. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director said the new facilities would be "championship quality" allowing the University to attract new competitions and appeal to recruits. In addition, Marchiony said all of these new facilities would be used by women's sports, improving the University's Title IX
During the past six years, Athletics Director Lew Perkins has overseen the construction of many prominent facilities including suites at
Memorial Stadium and a museum at Allen Fieldhouse, that have showcased the University's athletics to alumni, the media and new recruits. This is precisely what the administration hired him to do. Before Perkins came to Lawrence in 2003, he managed a comparably massive expansion of athletics facilities at the University of Connecticut.
Athletics must strike a balance among providing reasonable facilities for its athletes, accommodating spectators and appealing to donors and recruits. But most importantly, it must contribute to the overall success of the University, which is ultimately measured in terms of academics. Keeping in mind the terms and constraints of the relationship of Athletics to the University, it is disconcerting to see the construction of yet another huge and costly athletics facility while the rest of the University literally crumbles around it. Deferred maintenance costs for older parts of campus have plagued the University for a decade and
deterrimentally affected academics. Now, with a full-blown recession, large budget cuts are projected for the next two years, and maintenance will no doubt be deferred once again, not to mention faculty layoffs and deep cuts in student services.
Next year, the University's new leadership must repair this disparity and focus first and foremost on maintaining the University's fundamental mission of academics and research. Administrators must immediately undertake a new capital campaign to make up for the money that the University can no longer count on from state government. The previous campaign, KU First, ended in 2004 with outstanding results, raising $653 million dollars. Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment, said the commitments for that campaign ended after five years, making 2009 or 2010 an optimal time to start a new campaign. These campaigns could be presented as a way to reinvest in the University's core mission.
"The new chancellor will be key," Seuferling said. "The alumni donors will be interested in that individual's ideals and goals."
STUDENT LIFE
One of the incoming chancellor's first goals must be to address the conspicuous disparity between athletics and academics at the University.

Students should consider relocation after graduation
I had never been to the U.S.
until I came here to attend the
University. "Come back home
if you don't like America," my
parents told me when I left Japan.
I had no idea what my life in
Lawrence would be like, and I was
really counting on their words.
Although I have enjoyed my time at the University, with one month left until my graduation, I feel excited about moving to a new place. I haven't found a job yet, but my quest for relocation motivates me to try harder at job searching. I applied for internships at many different locations, including Los Angeles, Oakland, New York, Washington, D.C., Shanghai and Svdnev.
I knew my college life would be great as soon as I arrived in town. The view from Mount Oread stunned me. On my way from campus to downtown, a teenage boy passing by said, "Have a nice weekend!" I was pleasantly surprised. No stranger ever said "hi" to me when I lived in Tokyo.

Among my relocating experiences, living in Shanghai was the most challenging. Many customs and manners that I took for granted, such as the way people spoke and waited in line, were not accepted there.

At first, I felt frustrated by those differences. But it's funny: people are less apt to reach out to you when you're holding negative feelings. I started to make more friends when I accepted the way it
Because of my previous experience, the relocation to Lawrence was relatively easy for me. As long as you keep a positive attitude, you're more likely to enjoy the new environment and make friends. Some people may argue that you cannot build a deep friendship in that way, but I disagree. You can always keep in touch with old friends through Facebook, Skype or Twitter. In fact, visiting friends is always a good excuse for me to go home or travel to other places.
If you're struggling with job searching, adding relocation to your options may increase your chances of getting a job. It can also benefit your life in the long run.
Living in three countries Japan, the U.S. and China gave me different perspectives on my way of life, and allowed me to connect with a variety of people. If you hesitate about relocation, focus on what you will gain from the experience, rather than what you may miss.

Too often, society uses anorexia as a punchline
JANE P. RICCOBONO
Cornell U.
Cornell Daily Sun
"I have another idea for a TV show. It's called 'Rape My House.'" A
stand-up MC in New York was warming the audience up for the next act. He was commenting on the strangeness of having an MTV show called "Pimp My Ride." It is a show for a young audience that gleefully uses the word "pimp" as if it had no association with sexual exploitation.
He made a good point, and was funny while he did it. Even though he used "rape" in the joke, it was to underline the seriousness of it. The audience laughed because we compared the gravity of rape to that of pimping and realized that the TV show lets the latter slide, even glamorizes it. In the case of "pimp," there is the argument that the word has been appropriated by some communities to have alternate meaning, but unfortunately such context is los on a lot of viewers.
When we use words like "pimp," "rape" and "anorexic" humorously or sarcastically, we are saying a lot more than the language alone would imply. For example, there is an insidious way of using "rape" that shows a total lack of reflection. I have known some to say, after a particularly challenging test, "Ohm man, that test raped me."
Actually, no. It didn't. And if you stop to think about the fact that in the United States, one out of six women has experienced an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime, and that college-age women are four times more likely to be sexually assaulted, you might think rape is a bigger problem than a couple of
unanswered multiple choice questions.
"Anorexic" is misused differently, but in a way that also writes off a social ill. Since anorexia has come into the public consciousness, it has morphed from a shocking disorder to a cultural fixture. In much daily speech, and some popular media, "anorexic" describes a body type instead of a psychological condition. And it is usually loaded with unconcealed ridicule. Sometimes the caustic diminutive "rexy" is also employed toward this end.
To be clear, the anxiety behind anorexia is not always rooted in gender oppression. But the way that anorexics take out anxieties on the physical self is a largely feminine phenomenon. So, instead of attacking each individual anorexic, it would be more productive to consider why anorexia, and eating disorders in general, are still prominent among women. It may be more difficult now to see eating disorders as a problem because, not only have we been conscious of them our whole lives, we have personally seen them. But eating disorders are still around, and we would do well to investigate their position in the socio-economic system, instead of calling the skinny girl "rexy" and calling it a day.
Although wordplay is a fun and worthwhile exercise, there is a fine line between playing and hating when terms lose context. Using "rape" lightly is insensitive unless, like the wily comedian, you make a concerted effort to prove otherwise. And, contrary to what some seem to think, "anorexic" is not synonymous with stupid.

Video conferencing causes unnecessary confusion in classrooms
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Video conferencing and internet-based learning programs are a serious threat to the viability of current learning environments and the future of humankind. They are a concrete example of our tendency to use "technology" for the sake of technology itself, beyond any kind of practical consideration for its broader implications and potential consequences. Being in class, in person, is how knowledge is transferred and understanding achieved. Scientists are already behind in terms of "people skills." In this respect, video conferencing will further the inability of scientists to communicate by decreasing their person-to-person interactions even with teachers and other scientists.
So far in the class I am taking, there are two people attending from Edwards campus and about 13 from main campus. Video conferencing has resulted in at least 20 percent of class time wasted as a result of "technical difficulties." It is annoying to everyone, inconvenient for professors and disrespectful to students for the University to push video conferencing and internet-based learning as classroom options. It is an injustice that part of the money we pay for tuition is used for this source of misunderstanding and classroom delay. Why even have a live feed? Why not just record a semester and then revoke the employment of all professors when the semester is over?
Education is about relationships established in a classroom, just as friendship and love grow in the physical presence of other people. While it is trendy to have Facebook friends, what informs these trends besides empty social pressures postulated on pretending to adequately satisfy basic human needs? And, more importantly, what are the consequences of accepting such trends and allowing them to proliferate? Think about it.

Student groups 'tweet' to keep friends, followers up-to-date
Latest: University organizations on Twitter include coalitions, museums and The Underground.
BY KEVIN HARDY khardy@kansan.com
update
Campus groups, which make up a part of the more than seven million users of Twitter.com, recently started using Twitter to update members on activities and events.
Twitter, the fastest growing social networking Web site, saw a 1.382 percent increase in usage between February of 2008 and February of 2009, according to a Nielson News report.
KU groups that once relied on mass e-mails, phone calls and Web sites now turn to Twitter in order to better communicate with their members and audiences. Student Senate coalitions, KU museums and The Underground are among the places that have turned to Twitter for networking.
Ellyn Angelotti, interactivity editor and adjunct faculty member at the Poyner Institute for Media Studies, a journalism think-tank, said Twitter was gaining popularity because of how easy it was to use.
Although its users continue to grow, Angelotti said she didn't think it would ever bring down Facebook.
"I don't see Twitter filling a void that Facebook doesn't," Angelotti said. "I see Facebook and Twitter working in tandem."
STUDENT SENATE
ON TWITTER
Student Senate coalitions Envision and United Students are using Twitter to keep others up-to-date on campaign activities and Senate events.
Aaron Dollinger, Leawood sophome and communications director for the Envision campaign, said the coalition started using Twitter after seeing how successful it was for Barack Obama in the presidential race.
The group started tweeting at the
beginning of the campaign in March but many of the coalition members had used Twitter for social networking before.
"It gives us the ability to reach a mass amount of people and keep people up-to-date," Dollinger said.
Dollinger said the group hoped to use Twitter after elections as a way to keep the student body informed.
"This is another way to reach those people who don't want to run or be really involved,but want to stay informed," Dollinger said.
--date, said the group probably wouldn't use Twitter any time soon because they relied mostly on phone calls and e-mail for communication.
Mason Heilman, Lawrence junior and presidential candidate for United Students, said the coalition started using Twitter at the beginning of the campaign.
He said it was sometimes more practical than reaching students through emails and phone calls, but it was sometimes difficult because not everyone's phones were able to receive messages from Twitter.
"it's useful for just keeping people up-to-date," Heilman said.
Heilman said both candidates and student supporters followed the coalition on Twitter.
"It was definitely a unique way to get a hold of people," Heilman said.
He said he didn't think the coalition would use Twitter after the election, but said Student Senate might take it up as another means of communication.
"I think we introduced a lot of people to the concept," Heilman said.

Students of Liberty, another Senate coalition, hasn't jumped on the Twitter bandwagon yet.
Adam Wood, Lawrence senior and Students of Liberty presidential candidate, said the group probably wouldn't use Twitter any time soon because they relied mostly on phone calls and e-mail for communication.
"It just seems like an unnecessary step to me." Wood said.
KU MUSEUMS ON TWITTER
If you want a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the Spencer Museum of Art, the museum's Twitter is the place to go.
Jessica Johnson, project coordinator for the museum, said museum staff tweeted about everything from upcoming events to gossip heard by museum guards. Updates are posted at least once a day by museum staff.
Other museums across the nation and KU students are following the Spencer on Twitter.
Johnson said museum staff was still experimenting with Twitter. The museum has also used other social media tools such as Facebook and Second Life.
"Facebook is good for events, but Twitter is a good place to start some discussions about things going on," Johnson said. "We've had some success with that, and hopefully it will continue to grow."
The museum's Twitter followers continue to increase by about three to five people each day.
"It's growing all the time." Johnson said.
--what students can do, John will talk about what businesses can do and Kathy will talk about what the city can do," Stanley said.
Jen Humphrey, communications director for the Natural History Museum said the museum first started using Twitter in February during the 200th celebration of Charles Darwin's birthday.
"We wanted to make it so people could participate in the celebration, whether they were here in the museum or not," Humphrey said.
Humphrey said she thought a lot of people were still mystified by Twitter.
"For some audiences, it's a little slow to catch on, but I definitely see it as growing in popularity," Humphrey said.
Humprey said the museum hadn't dedicated enough staff to keeping up with Twitter, but said she thought the museum would eventually get more involved in twittering.
"The micro-blogging trend is one I don't see going away," Humphrey said. "And I hope to see the museum tap into that."
THE UNDERGROUND ON TWITTER
Regular visitors of The Underground can check out its Twitter for daily specials and menu updates.
Jason Arnett, marketing manager for KU Dining Services, said The Underground started experimenting with Twitter in the middle of the fall semester.
"We want to update our customers more frequently and we thought Twitter could do that." Arnett said.
Arnett said he thought it had the potential to change the way advertisers in general reached their customers.
"I think it's an important tool because it allows you to hear straight from the person's mouth about what's going on," Arnett said.
The Underground has fewer than 20 followers, but Arnett said he was optimistic that more people would begin following as Twitter gained ground in popularity.
"It's a great tool to have in our arsenal to keep our guests updated," Arnett said.

Panel to discuss recycling ways to be sustainable
In an effort to educate students about different ways of recycling, Students for Bar Recycling will host a panel discussion, "Three Cheers to the Environment" at 7 tonight at the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center.
The group is part of the organization From Blue to Green Conserve KU. Andrew Stanley president of Students for Bar
Recycling, said the event would feature three speakers: Nicko Susso, who started a campaign called Sustainability is Sexy; John McDonald, owner of Boulevard Brewing Company, and Kathy Richardson, operation supervisor of recycling and waste reduction in Lawrence.
Stanley said they would discuss what students could do to be more sustainable and ways that bars and businesses could reduce the amount of waste they produced.
Stanley also suggested simple ways that students could reduce the amount of waste they produced.
"At coffee shops on campus you can bring your own mug and get a discount," Stanley said. "You can buy beer on tap instead of buying beer in a bottle, which is thrown away."

ECONOMY Federal Reserve report shows hope for business
Investors poured money into consumer product and financial companies Wednesday as they saw new signals that the recession could be easing its chokehold on the economy.
Stocks jumped in the last hour of trading after the Federal Reserve released a report showing glimmers of hope in U.S. business conditions. The market had
drifted for much of the day on poor readings on industrial production and consumer prices. The Dow Jones industrial average ended with a gain of 109 points.
The late-day turnaround was typical of a market that has looked for reasons to push higher on hopes for a recovery ever since stocks skidded to 12-year lows in early March. A powerful five-week rally since then has pushed the market up more than 20 percent.

A physical, emotional rehabilitation
Six months after an injury tore her from the game she loved, Goodrich has been cleared for full participation
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
Thirty minutes or so before tipoff, Kansas' players participate in one of the more mundane and standard aspects of basketball at any level: pregame warm ups.
Each game, the Jayhawks pass, weave and pass again, a ritual so entrenched in the minds of players that they could most likely complete it in a dark Allen Fieldhouse.
Yet, the layup drill represented something unique for freshman guard Angel Goodrich; a step
closer toward being able to play after a long and draining rehab process. In the minutes leading up to Kansas' game against Oklahoma in Oklahoma City on March 13, Goodrich rushed to join the end of the layup line after receiving permission from athletic trainer Ann Turner.
It was the first time shed been able to participate this season.
"I was a little nervous because everyone has to make (a layup) before we stop so I was like, 'Oh man, I'm going to miss mine.' Goodrich said "But I made it and everyone was yelling and
stuff."
Late yesterday afternoon, Goodrich visited the doctor again. And this time, Goodrich heard the news she's waited an entire season to hear. She had been cleared for full-contact practice six months after the unthinkable happened.
Goodrich's highly anticipated debut ended before it ever officially started. While competing in a preseason workout on Oct. 19, Goodrich crossed over,

Kansas duo in decathlon top five

After the first five events of the decathlon helped kick off the first day of the Kansas Relays, freshman Corbin Kratovil sits in second place in the overall standings. Not bad for his first collegiate decathlon.
"He's been doing great today, he's been on fire," junior Jacob Breth, who is currently fifth, said. Kratovil is in second place with 3,512 points while Breth is fifth with 3,380 points.
Following a disappointing start to his day, Breth climbed up the standings with a good performance in the last event of the day, the 400-meter dash. Breth, a Wichita native, ran a time of 49.52 seconds, earning him 837 points.
It was a personal best for Breth, and he said he hadn't run that fast since high school.
"I feel good now," Breth said.
For Kratovil, it was another story. He finished in the top five in every event of the first day, including earning the victory in the shot put with a throw of 12.65 meters (41 feet 6 inches) to earn a total of 646 points.

Relays to feature 'distance carnival'
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
Tonight's events of the Kansas Relays will be a special "distance carnival," featuring races ranging from the 800 to the 5,000-meter runs. The "carnival," a nickname given to the races by the distance runners, is an exciting opportunity for the runners to perform.
"It's probably one of the biggest crowds we will ever get to run in front of all year," junior Lauren Bonds said. "Our track isn't the best, but Memorial Stadium has a really cool feel to it."
Bonds will be competing in the open 800-meter run tonight, as well as the 1,500 on Saturday.
She had a top showing in the 800 during last weekend's meet in Norman, Okla., running a time of two minutes and 11.47 seconds.

Dedicated decathletes ready to go at each gun
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
Chances are if you're reading this through one bloodshot eye at 8:30 this morning, the starting gun is about to signal the start of the men's decathlon 110m hurdles.
If instead it's 9:15, junior Jacob Breth and freshman Corbin Kratovil probably finished stretching in advance of their discus challenge. If you're savoring a Chick-fil-A sandwich and wondering why the only purveyors of fast food's best chicken sandwich around Lawrence is in the Underground, odds are these two are about to begin the pole vault. If you played hooky for your 3 p.m. date with calculus, you could catch their javelin competition and, later, the 1500m.
Follow me?
Breth and Kratovil will spend today as they did yesterday, breathlessly moving from one event to the next in the second half of the dacathlon at the 82nd Kansas Relays.
Comprised of ten events over two days, the decathlon is decided using a point system that grades each event. After Jim Thorpe won it at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, the king of Sweden told Thorpe: "You, sir, are the World's Greatest Athlete."
For this event's winner, some variation of "The Area's Greatest Multitasker" may suffice.
Before the mercury in local thermometers flirted with 70 degrees and sunshine, Wednesday's slate began inside Memorial Stadium with brisk winds and a few more clouds than the afternoon would offer.
The 13 athletes competing in the event began the day with the 100m dash. Afterwards they threw on their warm-up uniforms, grabbed a piece of fruit, talked about their performances and moved along to warm up for the long jump. Once they went through their three attempts, they packed up their bags, grabbed a piece of fruit and talked about their performance on the way to the shot put, set to begin less than 30 minutes later. Once that was over...
"I have a lot of respect for those upper classmen to stick it out for this long to keep training and doing the workload." Kratovil said.
Decathletes defy this convention. Whereas a fourth quarter rally in football can be summed up in an eight-word ESPN ticker entry, how does one detail a decathlon? The easy answer is placing the perspective within the umbrella of its title. But does that ably summarize Kratovil's first place finish in the shot put? Does it do justice to Breth's fifth place showing in the same event, a half-hour after hurting his back in the long jump?
As time passes we become known for a singular achievement whether amongst friends or outsiders. When the Great Scorekeeper completes our box score, the line will usually highlight one accomplishment. Sure, you may be a darn good cook but if you write the next epic novel your life summary likely won't mention Beef Wellington.
The sum of yesterday and today's parts helps tell the story of these competitors' place in the sporting medium.

"Best all-around athletes," Breth said.

Royals can pitch but can't hit
So here's the thing about the Royals. They can pitch. Yes they can pitch really.
COMMENTARY
Starting pitchers Gil Meche.
Starting pitcher Pete McNeil Zack Greinke and Kyle Davies comprise the best starting trio in the American League Central, perhaps one of the best in the American League. Closer Joakim Soria is a force of nature. Kansas City hasn't seen an athlete this dominant since Priest Holmes in his prime.
But here's another thing about the Royals. They can't hit. At least, not very well.
And this is where Mike Jacobs comes in. Here's what you need to know about Jacobs. He's a California guy. He wears his hair spiked upwards — sorta like Guile from Street Fighter. He has a patterned tattoo on his arm. And he can crush.
After struggling in the Royals' opening series last week against the White Sox, Jacobs found his stroke in the first homestand of the season. He hit .389 with two home runs, three doubles and four RBIs. And on Wednesday

afternoon against the Indians, he hit a 429-foot Ruthian blast to center field. The ball struck the side of the cement base that sits at the bottom of the Crown Vision scoreboard. And I have to admit, I felt sorry for the cement base.
"People shouldn't put too much into just not getting a couple of hits the first couple of games, and panicking that somebody's swing is not where it should be," Jacobs said on Wednesday. "We don't put too much stock into it, so hopefully other people won't as well."
Jacobs said he wasn't worried about his slow start. It was, after all, only three games.
Of course, Jacobs strikes out a lot. He struck out 119 times last season as a Florida Marlin. Of course, he also hit 32 homers.
And here's another thing about
the Royals. Did you know that the record for home runs in a season by a Kansas City Royal is 36? Steve Ballboni hit 36 home runs in 1985. It could be one of the most embarrassing records in all of sports. Think about it like this: The Royals survived the Steroid Era with nobody hitting more than 36 home runs. Well, at least we know that the Royals were clean. At least, we hope so.
So yes, Jacobs will strike out a lot. But he will also crush home runs into the orbit around Kauffman Stadium. And did I mention that he's donating $500 to Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City for every dinger he swats? What a guy, huh?
The NBA playoffs begin this weekend, and for the third consecutive year, a former Jayhawk

Bottom half of lineup hits a slump
KANSAS 40
Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Head coach Ritch Price speaks with an umpire after a questionable call on Kansas base runner Nick Faunce after being picked off at second base During an April 4 game against Baylor.
Jayhawks remain confident they can bring back the bats
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
The top of a baseball lineup generally gets all the attention but the bottom usually determines how good a team really is.
Case in point: This year's Javahawks.
Kansas has seen the one through five hitters excede expectations in almost every way. Lead by sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson, the one through five hitters have combined for a .347 average and 129 of the Jayhawks 221 RBIs.
Unfortunately, the bottom half hasn't been quite as successful. Sure, the weaker hitters are generally designated to the six, seven, eight and nine spots of the lineup, but coach Ritch Price said he needs more contributions from that part of the order when Kansas travels to Texas Tech this weekend.
"If we can get some help on the tail end of our lineup, wed be really good offensively." Price said. "Right now we've got some holes in seven, eight, nine in our lineup."
It's not as if Price hasn't tried mixing things up. A total of six players have seen their
fair amount of playing time in those last four spots, and every time it seems as if one player is poised to break out, the next few games are a disappointment.
Sophomore
"I've been struggling at the plate lately, I've just been trying to battle through it."
outfielder Jimmy Waters started the season as the designated hitter and left fielder. For a majority of the season he batted in the six spot and performed admirably enough, keeping his average around .270.
But in his last 12 games Waters only had three hits as his playing time had fluctuated.
bat in the lineup if his Jayhawks are going to keep at the winning rate they've been at the last two weeks.
JIMMY WATERS Sophomore outfielder
"He has not gotten it going yet," Price said. "He's late on fastballs, and he's on his backside, and we can't get him in rhythm to get him loaded up to be on time with the fastball and he knows it."
After Tuesday's extra inning victory over Creighton, Kansas is now 8-7 in one-run games
And with the way the bottom of the order has performed, Price acknowledged that those numbers could have been better with a more complete team production, specifically the second game of the Texas A&M series back on March 28th.
Players who have batted sixth or lower in the lineup:
"The one run losses that we had at Texas A&M I mean one of those games we're 0-for-15 from our six through nine spot in our lineup." Price said.
With the top of the order hitting so well, those 0-for-15 games from the bottom of the

| Zac Elgie | .310 | 1 | 16 | 14 |

order leave a lot of runs on the bases. It seemed as if freshman first baseman Zac Elgie was ready to account for the bottom order's struggles after last week, which saw him have three consecutive multi-hit games, including his first home run as a college player.
But since then Elgie has gone 1-for-9 with five strikeouts as the bottom order carousel continued.
guy to see better pitches to hit as opposing pitchers will try to work around them. But considering Kansas has played about as well as any other team defensively and on the mound, Price is ready to be patient.
"Yesterday Elgie was the triple and the home run and he was really good," Price said after last Saturday's victory against Oklahoma State. "Then today he got exposed with the slider."
"If I can get some consistency from Elgie and Waters continues to make progress, the last half of the season. I think we can get it going a little bit." Price said.
If the latter half of the order doesn't produce, look for the top

Fan says ejection violated his rights

NEW YORK — A baseball fan who says he was ejected from Yankee Stadium by police after he left his seat to use the bathroom during the playing of "God Bless America" sued the New York Yankees and the city on Wednesday.

It was discontinued in some cities the following seasons but remained a fixture at Yankees games, at which security personnel and ushers use chains to block off some exits while it's played
Trufant said the city hadn't seen the lawsuit but planned to review it thoroughly. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and a ruling that the city and the Yankees acted unconstitutionally.

Police spokesman Paul J. Browne said the officers, who were being paid by the Yankees to work at the Bronx stadium, ejected Campeau-Laurier, 30, after they "observed a male cursing, using inappropriate language and
acting in a disorderly manner while reeking of alcohol."
He said the officers "decided to eject him rather than subject others to his offensive behavior."

sawtown said Campeau-Laurion, who lives in Queens, and a friend "enjoyed the game quietly," though there were rowdy young men seated a few rows away. After buying a second beer an hour after his first, Campeau-Laurion remained in his seat, eating peanuts and watching the game, it said.
A Yankees spokeswoman, Alice McGillion, said the team had no comment.
Christopher Dunn, associate legal director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said it was a "troubling example of compelled patriotism" to force fans to remain in the stands for the playing of the song.
"It's patriotism being imposed on people on a mass scale," he said. "It's the first person we know of who actually been physically thrown out of Yankee Stadium, but we certainly know of many other people who have expressed concern about the policy."

Royals 13 29
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Royals second baseman Alberto Callaspo tags out Cleveland Indians' Josh Barfield as he tries to steal in the eighth inning of a baseball game Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo. The Royals won 9-3.
Cleveland earns road win
Victory over Royals ends six-game streak dating from last season
DOUG TUCKER Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Not only did he get a win on his 24th birthday, but Aaron Lafey may have also landed a job.
The left-hander, who almost made the rotation in spring training, went 5 1-3 innings and allowed only two runs Wednesday while Cleveland picked up its first road win and avoided a three-game sweep with a 5-4 victory over Kansas City.
Travis Haferner's second double keyed a three-run seven inning for the Indians, who hadn't been swept in KC since 2006 and were 0-5 on the road this year.
Asked if Laffey pitched well enough in his first start to stay in the rotation, manager Eric Wedge sounded encouraging.
"He pitched well enough to earn that," Wedge said. "I thought Laffey was good. I was very impressed with his effort. He gave us every opportunity to win the game and we took it from there."
Called up from Triple-A Columbus to replace the injured Scott Lewis, Laffey gave up three hits and two runs, with three walks and five strikeouts.
"It's a pretty good way to celebrate my birthday," he said. "I'm only 24, but I feel old."
Jensen Lewis (1-0) issued three straight walks in the bottom of the seventh but still got the victory with 1 2-3 innings of relief. Kyle Farnsworth (0-2) gave up three runs while getting only one out in relief for the Royals.
After the Royals tied it 2-all in the sixth, Asdrubal Cabrera doubled leading off the seventh against Farnsworth and scored on an RBI single by Mark DeRosa.
who has a five-game hitting streak and seven RBIs in eight games.
After Victor Martinez walked, Hafner hit an RBI double and Shin-Soo Choo made it 5-3 with a sacrifice fly.
The victory made the struggling Indians 1-5 on the road heading to New York for a four-game series that will open the new Yankee Stadium. It broke a six-game road losing streak dating back to last year.
"It's baby steps," Wedge said. "We just want to make sure we show up and expect good things to happen."
Mike Jacobs had 429-foot home run against Jensen into straightaway center in the eighth.
Just before Jacobs' homer made it 5-4, Mark Teahen singled but was thrown out at second on a good throw by right fielder Shin-Soo Choo.
"I like the aggressiveness there, especially because I know Mark knew it was a left-handed-throwing out fielder," Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "Nine times out of 10 he's not going to be able to field it like that and throw it to second base. The one time he does, the guy behind him hits a home run."
Wedge said he was not surprised his outfiter made the play.
"He has a great arm. He really picked us up throwing Teahen out at second base. That was huge."
Kerry Wood pitched the ninth for his first American League save.
"You never like to go long without pitching," said Wood, who had 34 saves for the Cubs last year. "I got in the last (game) before we left home and felt fine. I felt good again today. They (saves) come in bunches and you've got to be prepared on the flip side of pitching three or four days in a row. It's the life of a reliever"
Royals starter Sidney Ponson went six innings and gave up two runs and six hits, with three walks and three strikeouts.
The Indians scratched out a run in the third when Tony Graffanoin walked, moved up on a sacrifice and scored on Grady Sizemore's RBI single. They took a 2-0 lead in the sixth when Hafner doubled and scored on Ryan Garko's RBI single.
Coco Crisp walked leading off the Kansas City seventh and went to third on Willie Bloomquist's single. David DeJesus' infield grounder brought home Crisp and then Joe Smith came out of the bullpen and struck out John Buck.
Lewis then relieved Smith and walked Teahen, Jacobs and Alex Gordon, all on full counts. Gordon's walk brought in Bloomquist with the tying run before Miguel Olivo's grounder ended the inning.
Notes: Cliff Lee will go against CC Sabathia on Thursday in a matchup between the past two AL Cy Young winners as Cleveland and New York open Yankee Stadium. Sabathia, who signed a seven-year, $161 million contract with New York, won the Cy Young in 2007 with Cleveland. ... 3B Gordon struck out in the second inning, giving him strikeouts in four consecutive at-bats. Sizemore made an outstanding running catch of Gordon's sinking liner leading off the fifth. ... Farnsworth's ERA in 3-1 3 innings is 16.20. Both of the bullpen's losses belong to him. ... Sizemore tried to score from third on a wild pitch in the ninth but was tagged out by Olivo.

PGA
Weekley attempts for a three-peat
PETE IACOBELLI Associated Press
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Boo Weekley's having too much fun at Harbour Town to worry about chasing history.
Weekley tries for three wins in a row at the Verizon Heritage when the PGA Tour event tees off this week. But if the folksy, self-proclaimed "hick" is feeling any pressure to succeed here, he didn't show it Wednesday.
"If I win, I win." Weekley said, a wide grin on his face. "It can't like I ain't going out there to try. If it happens, man, it's going to happen. You know what I mean? There's no sense forcing the issue. Just go out and enjoy life and enjoy what's in front of you."
That's been Weekley's credo long before the former chemical plant worker from the Florida Panhandle became a PGA Tour champion and U.S. Ryder Cup folk hero.
Now, he can achieve what no one else has on golf architect Pete Dye's treacherous, maddening masterpiece.
For many here, it's a week to catch their breath after the churning stomachs and rising pressure at the Masters — if they didn't take the week off.
Masters winner Angel Cabrera isn't here. Neither are the two players Cabrera beat in a playoff, Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell.
Tiger and Phil? Not here either.
Tiger and Finn. Not here either.
In all, six of the world's top 20 players are here. Just two of the
top 11 Masters finishers — Steve Flesch and Jim Furyk — are playing.
He broke through for his first tour win in 2007, chipping in on the 71st and 72nd holes to outlast Ernie Els.
Weekley wouldn't miss this tournament for the world, especially after the past two years.
Weekley doubled up last spring, his second career victory coming by three strokes over Aaron Baddeley and Anthony Kim.
Should Weekley threepat, held be the tour's first to make the same tournament his first three PGA Tour victories since Leonard Gullett, who won the Wisconsin PGA in 1929, 1933 and 1934, according to Dave Lancer of the PGA Tour.

I'M LOVE YOU
Joey Logano signs autographs for race fans at Bristol Motor Speedway before the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Food City 500 auto race in Bristol, Tenn., March 22.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Logano wins Nationwide
The 18-year-old driver is first to win the race twice before turning 19
BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press
Joe Gibbs did his best to enjoy a rare off week during NASCAR's grueling Sprint Cup season, playing the role of genial host along with wife Pat during his family's annual Easter egg party at their North Carolina home.
And while he tried to join in the fun, Gibbs — along with sons JD and Coy — kept ducking into a family room to watch Joe Gibbs Racing's Nationwide team in Nashville.
The disappearing act kept getting
longer and longer as the night wore on, particularly after Joey Logano took the lead from JGR teammate Kyle Busch, then held for his second career Nationwide victory.
Sure, it wasn't Sprint Cup. Sure,
there's no real carry-over between Nationwide and Cup racing these days thanks to Cup's bulky new car. But it was a welcome result for an 18-year-old wunderkind off to a slow start in his first season in Gibbs' No. 20 Toyota.
"I thought it was great of the standpoint that it gives Joey a real boost of confidence," Gibbs said. "Here he is, at the front a big part of the day. He raced against Kyle, raced against Carl Edwards. It gave him, I think with me, a lot of confidence."
Even if it's not on the Cup side, not yet anyway.
Logano is of a like mind. Being able to stay focused while Busch kept filling up his rearview mirror is no small feat, even for a kid nicknamed "Sliced Bread" because of his precocious talent.
That's big."
"Looking and saying,
'Hey, I can do this,
I am here for a reason,
I can win races.' That's big."
"It's big for me," Logano said after becoming the first driver ever to win two Nationwide races before his 19th birthday. "Looking and saying, 'Hey, I can do this, I am here for a reason, I can win races.'
Logano's debut season in the Cup series has been bump at best. He's 35th in points heading into this weekend's race in Phoenix, a slow start that hasn't been all his fault. The youngest starter in the history of the Daytona 500 got drilled 80 laps in and finished dead last. His engine blew in Bristol after a promising start.
More than two months in he's still looking for his first top-10. It's hardly time to panic. Gibbs expected growing pains, especially after
JOEY LOGANO NASCAR driver
NASCAR banned offseason testing as a cost-cutting measure. While Gibbs approved of the ban it robbed Logano of valuable seat time. Now he's having to learn lessons at 180 mph inches from the best drivers on the planet.
"It was a big curveball for us because we planned on testing all offseason," Gibbs said. "Now he has to go places he's never really seen and climb in a Cup car. We're convinced when we get through this first go around here, he'll be fine. We're convinced he's got the talent."
What he needs is the patience. More than once in the last two months Gibbs has pulled Logano aside and told him not to worry, that he doesn't need to take unnecessary chances, that JGR is committed to him long haul.
In a way, Gibbs said, it's like talking to a young quarterback. There are going to be rough spots. How Logano handles them will determine how long it takes for him to find his groove.
"I've talked to him a lot and said this is a long-term deal, we need to get you going and we're going to work our way up the ladder here," Gibbs said. "It's a tough,
tough sport. It takes tough-minded people to get it done."
Which is why fellow JGR drivers Busch and Denny Hamlin have taken an active role in mentoring their new teammate. They know replacing a popular — and Cup winning — driver like Tony Stewart isn't easy. And doing it in the not exactly user friendly new car doesn't help.
Logano is quick to thank his teammates, and Gibbs is encouraged by the quickly improving relationship between Logano and Cup crew chief Greg Zipadelli, who guided Stewart to Cup titles in 2002 and 2005.
"Many times the car will kind of fool you," Gibbs said. "We're going to do everything we can with him, let him race Nationwide, getting Denny and Kyle working with him nonstop. We're trying to surround him with all those things. Over a period of time you've got to develop that (chemistry), that's a work in progress."
So is earning the respect of fellow drivers. Logano has handled himself pretty well in traffic, even if he's been a little gun shy about mixing it up. That's OK. Once he gets the hang of the car, maybe then he can start going all Kyle Busch on people.
"Joey Logano, good God, I've been racing longer than he's been alive," Jeff Burton said. "That's a lot for someone his age to take on. He's going to be a better race car driver for the struggles he's having now."
Logano hopes he took a major step toward putting those struggles behind him in Nashville. He certainly proved himself to Nationwide crew chief Dave Rogers for the way he held off Busch in the final laps.
"It was driver versus driver on the racetrack and I'm sure there are plenty of days when Kyle is going to get the best of Joey, but today Joey got the best of (Busch)." Rogers said. "I think he's really that good."

DECATHLON (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Perkins FAMILY UCS WWW.UCSSPIRIT.COM UCS WWW.UCSSPIRIT.COM
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
Freshman decadelite Corbin Kratovil attempts to clear 1.89 meters in the high jump portion of the Men's Decathlon at the Kansas Relays on Wednesday. After five events, Kratovil is in second place with five events still to come today.
ently for each event in the decathlon, and specific events have more points for first place than other events.
For the two Jayhawks, it's been a friendly rivalry preparing for and competing against each other in the decathlon.
"We have fun, we like to compete like in practice," Kratovil said. "It's between me and him so we battle."
Breth said competing in the
decathlon is great because it doesn't require the athlete to be a specialist in all 10 events.
"You don't have to be good at every single event. Like if I competed in the discus or in the 400, I probably wouldn't even place at Big 12s." Breth said. "But in the decathlon, as long as I work on my really bad events like pole vault and long jump, I might have a chance."
Tomorrow, Breth will have to compete in the event that poses his
biggest challenge: the pole vault.
“It's where I score the least amount of points, but I'm working on it,” Breth said. “It's a lot different than running the 400.”
However, tommorow's events will also include the javelin, the 1500-meter run, 110-meter hurdles and the discus throw.
Breth believes he can win some of those events to catch up to his freshman teammate.
"I still got the 1,500,the" discus
and javelin on him, but we'll have to Breth said.
"I'll get him in the 110 hurdles and the pole vault, so he can have those ones" Kratov joked.
But Kratovil said he wasn't fazed by Breth's boasting.
The final events of the decathlon will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Memorial Stadium with the 110-meter hurdles.

attempted to plant her left toe and immediately felt a stinging pain in her knee.
After practice, Goodrich visited a doctor who administered a series of tests that eventually led to an unfortunate diagnosis: a torn ACL. Just two days after impressing thousands at Late Night, Goodrich's season was over. She had reconstructive surgery on Oct. 29.
The week following the diagnosis left Goodrich devastated.

from the recent developments. Without basketball, a sport thoroughly etched in her daily life, Goodrich felt lost at a school that was still somewhat unfamiliar.
"The first couple of days I bawled like a baby." Goodrich said. "I was so heartbroken. I didn't want to do anything. I didn't want to eat."

Yet, in the past month, Goodrich's daily involvement has significantly increased. Once forced to simply watch and stand off to the side during practice, Goodrich now participates in almost every drill that doesn't involve contact or defense.
because I hadn't done anything."
She lifts weights with teammates and participated in a demanding conditioning drill that required players to run five lengths of the court in one minute.
But the road to reaching that small milestone was paved with individual, and often difficult, rehab training. Working independently from teammates for much of the season, Goodrich slowly labored each day to regain her form.
"I was two seconds off," Goodrich said. "And I was so tired afterwards."
Before Kansas' regular season finale at Iowa State, Goodrich ran up and down the arena's stairs — a training method called stadiums — to the background noise of her teammates' yells.
((Rehab) hurt so bad with my knee), Goodrich said. "Then I started doing more fun stuff. Well, not fun, but being able to do the ellipthal and bike was OK. I mean, people wouldn't say it was fun but it was fun for me
In each step of the recovery process, the rest of the layhawks, especially injured teammate Katie Smith, have been an informal support system.
"They've been really good about patting her on the back when she's doing some stuff that's not very fun," coach
Bonnie Henrickson said.
Still, even now Goodrich won't deny the pain — the emotionally deflating result of having her debut season stripped from her. Once the game is gone, how does a player cope?
The inability to practice, to even jump on a shot attempt, took its toll on Goodrich, the 2007 Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year who spurned offers from powerhouses Oklahoma and Texas A&M to join Henrickson at Kansas.
"It was like my heart was ripped out. I was devastated," Goodrich said. "To be hard, I didn't even want to come to games knowing that I couldn't help, or at least in the way that I wanted to."
From her seat at the end of the bench, Goodrich struggled with the role of spectator, relegated to observation instead of activity.
Before the season started, before Goodrich ever played a collegiate minute, many pegged her as a program-changing point guard. Generously listed at 5-foot-4, Goodrich is a consummate playmaker, both for herself and others.
The day before Kansas' game at Oklahoma State on Feb. 25, Henrickson offered up similarities between Goodrich and the Cowgirls' 5-foot-5 Andrea Riley, a speedy guard who also happens to be the Big 12's most prolific scorer.
"Angel's not going to get her shot blocked much. She's a little kid that's got to get inside of you to score." Henrickson said. "Those are gifted athletes that can do that. Andrea (Riley) is one of them, Sherron (Collins) is one on the men's team and Angel is one of them, too."
Indeed, the general consensus is that Goodrich is an immediate difference maker, and the desire to help reshape the program is one reason she opted to become a Jayhawk in the first place.
Once next season starts, Goodrich will be a redshirt freshman, meaning she still has four years of eligibility left.
"I just appreciate the game," Goodrich said. "I mean, being taken away from it and letting it get to me — once I get to step on the floor again, that will be the greatest day of my life."
But before any of that can happen, Goodrich must continue the rehab process — one that's been filled with emotional and physical obstacles.

Oilers miss playoffs; coach fired MacTavish dismissed after team fails to make finals for third year
ASSOCIATED PRESS
EDMONTON, Alberta — This was starting to look all too familiar to the Oklans.
The NHL playoff were starting, and Edmonton was done for the season.
Coach Craig MacTavish paid the price.
He was fired Wednesday after the Oilers failed

"He gave everything he possibly could to help this team get better," Tambellini said during a news conference. "But we both agree that it is time for a change."
The Oilers finished 11th in the Western Conference with a record of 38-35-9 for 85 points. This was the fifth time in seven seasons they have not reached

The Oilers were a long way from 2006 when they made

Cardinals defeat Diamondbacks 12-7
BY ANDREW BAGNATO
Associated Press
PHOENIX — Ryan Ludwick homered and drove in three runs and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-7 on Wednesday afternoon.
Ludwick is batting .407 and has hit in all seven games he's played this season. He singled home a run in the third inning and added a two-run homer in the sixth.
Chris Duncan added a single, double and triple and two RBIs for the Cardinals, who have won six of seven.
St. Louis benefited from eight walks and three Arizona errors.
The Cardinals batted around twice, scoring five runs in the third and four more in the sixth.
St. Louis starter Joel Pineiro (2-0) was credited with the victory despite giving up five runs in five innings and allowing nine hits, including six doubles and a homer. He walked three and struck out three.
Pineiro was better than Arizona's Jon Garland (1-1), who allowed seven runs on seven hits and five walks in 3 2-3 innings. In his first two starts with the Diamondbacks, Garland has given up 10 earned runs in 10 2-3 innings.
The Diamondbacks wrapped up their season-opening home-
stand 3-6, losing three-game series to Colorado, the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis.
The Cardinals jumped ahead early on a blustery, 72-degree afternoon.
Already leading 1-0 on Yadier Molina's second-inning single, St. Louis added five runs in the third on RBI doubles by Colby Rasmus and Duncan and run-scoring singles by Ludwick and Molina to take a 6-0 lead.
But Pineiro promptly gave most of the lead back. With one out in the third, he gave up a run on back-to-back doubles by Felipe Lopez and Conor lackson.
One out later. Chad Tracy hit
an RBI double, and then Mark Reynolds homered into the center field overhang to cut the Cardinals' lead to 6-4. Reynolds, who hit a pinch homer on Tuesday night, homered for the second time in three at-bats.
The Cardinals made it 7-4 on Pujols' grounder to score·Skip Schumaker, who led off with a double. Garland was gone after issuing back-to-back four-pitch walks to Ludwick and Duncan.
St. Louis put the game away with four runs in the sixth on an RBI double by Pujols, Ludwick's homer and Joe Thurston's RBI single.
MLB
Cubs fans heckle former pitcher
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Jason Marquis wasn't a fan favorite in his time with the Chicago Cubs, and if he didn't know it then, he does now. The Wrigley Field faithful boomed him at every turn this week.
Marquis got some measure of revenge Wednesday, hitting a tworun single off Rich Harden to put Colorado ahead against his former team, then pitching the Rockies over the Chicago Cubs 5-2.
"Everybody has the right to react the way they want and feel the way they want," he said. "Obviously, that's not the way I was raised, to boo people, but everybody is different. If there was something I didn't like, I just didn't pay attention."
Marquis (2-0), who spent the previous two years with the Cubs, was iered during introductions before Monday's home opener and again several times Wednesday. He hit a bases-loaded single in the second and allowed one run and five hits in seven innings.
Did this win mean anything extra?
"Not really," he said. "A little ammo to talk to the guys I'm friends with, but other than that, a win is a win. It feels great every time I get it."
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle didn't talk to Marquis about pitching against his old club. He had a different take on Marquis' status among Cubs fans.
"He did pretty well here," Hurdle said of Marquis' 23-18 record with Chicago. "He pitched a lot of innings and won some games. I walked around the streets enough here the last couple of days and everybody told me they liked him."
Manuel Corpas followed Marquis with a hitless eighth before Huston Street got in trouble in the ninth, allowing a leadoff
home run to Derrek Lee followed by a walk to pinch-hitter Mike Fontenot and a single to Reed Johnson.
Jason Grilli came in, and Fontenot was thrown out by Chris lannetta trying to advance on a breaking ball in the dirt that got away from the catcher. Geovany Soto then hit into a game-ending double play, giving Grilli his second career save and first this year.
"At that point, I should've stayed at second." Fontein said. "With Geo up, he could've tied the game with one swing. I thought the ball rolled farther away from him. I was trying to be too aggressive."
Seth Smith homered for the Rockies, who completed a two-game split on a cold afternoon with the wind blowing in.
Harden, rested for much of spring training to aid a balky shoulder, allowed four runs, five hits and four walks in three innings, his shortest outing since July 7, 2007, when he went 2 2-3 innings for Oakland against Seattle. He struck out eight but threw 92 pitches.
After Harden struck out his first four batters, Colorado loaded the bases on a pair of walks and an infield single. Clint Barnes then struck out, but Matarus singled to center on a ball Johnson couldn't come up with on a'dive. Johnson did throw out Iannetta at third to end the inning.
Marquis, the 2005 NL. Silver Slugger winner at pitcher, has a .211 batting average, five homers and 43 RBIs in 446 career at bats.
Smith homered in the third, and Colorado made it 4-0 when Todd Helton doubled and Alfonso Soriano misplayed Garrett Atkins' single to left.
Pinch-hitter Micah Hoffpauir doubled in a run for the Cubs in the fifth, but pinch-hitter Dexter Fowler made it 5-1 with an RBI double in the eighth.

relationship ended. But the story of what I did with my ex's stuff is for grabs.
This won't be a "he said, he said" recap of one of my previous relationships. Nor will I divulge the details of how this particular
I had bought him presents before this "break" business and they ended up sitting in my room until after New Year's. By this time, I realized that all my relationship status needed was an "up" at the end and to call it quits.
First, a little context:We were on a "break" and it was about Christmastime.
So I trekked over to his apartment, not knowing who would be home or what I was going to say. I guess I could have always mailed them to him if I became desperate.
I couldn't bear, though, to return the gifts or use them myself. It just felt wrong for some reason.
editor's note
Luckily, his roommate and one of our mutual friends answered the door. They saw the bag filled with my ex's belongings in my hand and figured out what was going down. The ex was gone, so I went into his room.
placed the bag on his bed, and gathered my belongings.
I left with only a slight blow to my dignity. Hearing about other friends' ex exchange stories, I was happy with how it happened. We had both walked away with physical remnants we had started the relationship with.
A couple of months later, on the NCAA championship night, actually, the ex and I had ended up hanging out through some mutual friends. It was a tad chilly downtown that night and my tight KU shirt wasn't cutting it. He noticed and offered his jacket. I initially refused, fearing another awkward exchange situation, but eventually gave in.
Check out Elliot's story on page 5 and read about how other students have handled exchanging exes' belongings.
I could have kept it and avoided the situation, but I didn't. I learned that the jacket, like the Christmas gifts, was just stuff, and stuff isn't what makes a relationship.
We got lost in the downtown crowds and I wore his jacket home that night. I returned it, freshly washed, within the week.

Bitch& MOAN
with Carly Halvorson and Elliot Kort
I thought that guys didn't like easy girls, so I waited to have sex with this one guy. After going out a few times, we did it and I got dumped soon after for what seems like no reason. Then I went ahead and had sex with this guy I really liked after the first date and we had flirted for a long time, and got dumped again. What do guys want? I just don't understand.
Kara, senior
Carly: I'm at a disadvantage in answering your question for one obvious reason—I'm not a guy. But I'll take a stab at this anyway. Maybe the issue wasn't when he had sex with you, but just the fact that he had sex with you at all. It may sound cynical, but I going to say this anyway. You probably just found a couple of guys who wanted only sex. Don't stress out about it too much—the are a lot of them out there. Your alternative is to wonder what other possible reason they had for breaking up with you. I don't recommend going down this road. It's all based on speculation and "what if" questions. You'll drive yourself crazy, and it's a waste of time. Instead, just resign yourself to the idea that these guys wanted only to get in your pants and move on. You'll meet a guy that you connect with, and you'll feel a lot better than playing the, "What does he want? What did I do wrong?" guessing game.
Elliot: Carly's both right and wrong. The problem here is that these two guys in particular just wanted to hop into bed with you. But I think it's worth noting that you're presuming each and every guy wants the same thing. Every person is different, no matter how much you think it's a cliché. Though these two gents had only eyes for sex, I wouldn't go so far as to cast a colossal stone at the entire male gender. On the other side of her argument, though, I have to assert that Carly could be mistaken. Now it's true that these guys could've just followed the same pattern: meet, woo, bed, dump. But for you to say that they dumped you for "what seems like no reason" intrigues me. I'm not telling you to pore over every encounter and analyze everything you said to determine if it's possible you went wrong somewhere. But people have reasons for what they do. And though it's likely these guys are acting out of similar interests, I'm hesitant to paint any number of people with the same broad-sweeping brushstroke.
My girlfriend's absolutely crazy about this certain author. She's been trying to get me to read her books for months. Finally, I sat down and plowed through what's supposed to be her best novel. I hated it, but don't know what to do or say to my girl.Suggestions?
Stephen, sophomore
Carly: It's just a book. What's the big deal? Do you expect your girlfriend to love everything you love? Of course you don't. Just because you're in a relationship with someone doesn't mean you have to like all of the same books, bands and food. It is good to have different tastes. I'd be worried if you liked all the same things. That's a little creepy. That being said, the situation is pretty minor. Just say to your girlfriend, "You know, Twilight (or whatever mass-produced fad book your significant wants you to read) really isn't my thing. I like mystery novels (or whatever you really do like) instead." Don't make fun of the book or the author; it's not a bad book—you just didn't like it. You should respect the fact that she does and let her do her own thing. Now that you've read it, you're safe from having to read it again.
**Elliot:** OK, my gut reaction is the same as Carly's: you hate it, so what? Your girlfriend should understand that just because you disagree with her taste doesn't mean you are outright insulting her. I don't think your girlfriend would have a leg to stand on if she claimed that your lack of similar taste is an affront. However, there's something to be said for taking an active interest in what your significant other is interested in. Does that mean you go out and buy every Danielle Steele book and build a mini library? No. Does that mean you need to memorize every U2 lyric? No. But could you check the mystery section every now and then to see if she has a new book out? Absolutely. Could you look up the concert listings and let your gal know when a particular band is in town? Without a doubt. Gestures like that show not only that you care enough to listen to her but also that you went out of your way to take interest in what she has to say and likes. She'll be floored.

Yours, mine and not ours
When a relationship ends, what happens to the stuff?
By Elliot Kort ekort@kansan.com
It has happened to me a few times. I'll look around my closet for a favorite old shirt I haven't worn in a while. After searching for nearly 20 minutes, it dawns on me; my ex has it.
It's a testy subject that's often dealt with at the end of a relationship. What do you do with all of the material goods exchanged throughout the course of a romance? Hold on to them? Return them? Shove them into the deep corner of a closet? Throw them away?
Yours
For some, it's entirely a matter of context. Andrea Chao, Lawrence senior, says the mutual decision to break up dictates that any stuff should be returned as it is.
"Hopefully the couple could be civil." Chao says.
She says, however, that a one-sided breakup requires a different perspective.
"If it's not mutual," she says, "I can understand the want to destroy their stuff."
Sean Wilson likes to destroy stuff. The Kansas City, Missouri, senior thinks it's his OK to do whatever he wants with an ex's possessions. He likes to view the process as a bit of catharsis.
"If it has no value." Wilson says, "burn it. It feels like a purge."
He also expects the same treatment to his former possessions.
"I instantly assume that everything that I left at an ex's house is going to be destroyed," he says.
Science seems to back Wilson's theory. Richard Martinez, who's studying the subject through the KU psychology department, says in a study conducted with 185 people, participants said having people's things didn't factor into people wanting to extend an offer of friendship. The outcomes appear to be fairly universal.
"There were no significant gender differences or age differences," Martinez says. "However, I can imagine that live-in couples may encounter such problems."
Mine
Instead of destroying possessions, some turn to third parties to get rid of an ex's stuff. For Phil Chiles, owner of Wild Man Vintage, 939 Massachusetts Street, being a vintage shop owner can sometimes put him in an uncomfortable position.
Pets caught in the middle
Pets adopted or bought mutually by two people pose a different problem. Midge Grinstead, director of the Lawrence Humane Society, watches dog after dog come into her shelter because their owners' relationship ended.
"They usually bring them in because they don't want (their ex) to have it," she says. "And the other person doesn't know."
Many times, she says, people will call animal control claiming that their pet is a stray. The shelter does its best to keep
up and find all pets a permanent home.
But Grinstead realizes that her ideal day
will likely not come.
"In a perfect world,
everything would
be treated like it
had value."

"It's something we need to discourage, because it can get messy." Chiles says.
Dealing with exes' possessions is not just a matter of avoiding conflict, either. For Abby Reust, the shop's manager, it's also about figuring out whether a person has the right to
A WALKING DOG
In a pickle: When couples break up, what to do with the tangleable belongings can be a toss up. You can return what is not yours, destroy the ex's belongings, or trade in the stuff at vintage stores for some dough. Ownership of more important possessions, such as pets, can be an even harder decision, and sometimes the pets suffer in the end.

be selling what they bring in. She has developed a keen sense for whether a customer is trying to sell under false pretenses.
Sometimes people will tell us the story of why they're selling what they are, she says. "The more you tell us," she says, "the more suspicious it is."
As someone who deals with other people's belongings often, Reust says people don't relinquish the right to their belongings just because a relationship ends.
"I think the person that left it should have the opportunity to get it back," she says.
Reust and Chiles have dealt firsthand with people coming into their shop to reclaim pilfered possessions. Wilson, contrastingly, is a fan of selling other's things.
"Put it on eBay," he says. "That way they're paying you back for emotional scarring."
Not ours
The most puzzling of these decisions deals with possessions that are jointly owned.
Though she's happily engaged, Chao says she and her fiance had already decided she would take custody of their dog if the two should ever break up.
"I think it's tough if there's 'our stuff;'" Chao says.

shape UP AT HOME
Use your spare time working out at home
By Sachiko Miyakawa smiyakawa@kansan.com
I held my breath and pulled in my stomach to zip up my jeans. I was surprised when I didn't fit into jeans I bought last year. I realized summer is coming up and it's time to start working out.
Some people think exercise is fun and refreshing, while other people, including me, see it more as a hassle. I'm usually busy, and making time for the gym is not my priority.
"You don't have to be in the gym to work out." says Chris Dellasega, Pittsburgh senior and certified personal trainer at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. People can do a variety of exercises staying at home without any equipment.
Basic exercises, such as squats and push-ups, can be effective in reducing body fat and training muscles. Even 15 minutes of exercise a day can make a difference, he says, but it's important to gradually increase the length and intensity of exercise over time. For example, one week you might do two sets of push-ups. Then, the next week, add another set to your routine. This addition will help develop muscle more.
Dellasega says people will usually begin to see some change in their bodies four weeks after they start exercise. Getting started is hard, but once people recognize some results,
they start to enjoy it, he says.
Fitness instructors share some easy strengthening and stretching exercises. You can do many of them in small spaces such as your bedroom or living room while watching TV or listening to music.
Exercise instructions
*
Ann Giessel, Larned senior and group fitness instructor at the rec center,recommends the following strengthening and stretching exercises.She says stretching is particularly important for college students who often stare at computer screens and develop stiff necks and shoulders.
*
Sitting twist: Sit with your legs crossed and twist your body to right and left. Hold for five to 10 seconds each side. It relaxes your stiff body.
Wrist stretch: Hold one arm straight, and bend your wrist by pressing palm up. Hold for 10 seconds. Then press your hand down and hold for 10 seconds. Switch hands.
---
S
A
Shoulder stretch:Bring both of your arms behind your back and clasp your hands. Then stretch out your arms in front and claps hands again.Hold each action for 10 seconds.

Neck stretch: Roll your neck slowly while keeping good posture.

*
Wall sit exercise: Lean against a wall and keep your knees at about 90 degrees. Hold for 20 to 60 seconds.To add intensity, lift your arms up and straighten.
Squats with a heel off. Lift one heel off floor while you lower your body by bending at the knees. Make sure your upper body doesn't lean forward. Repeat this 15 times and switch heels. You can also lift both heels while you do regular squatting. The exercise trains your lower body, including thighs, calves and hips.
Brandon Hidaka, Overland Park senior and president of the Yoga Club, recomends different types of plank exercises. He says these exercises can be effective in both strengthening and stretching, too.
*
*
Basic plank: Lie on your stomach, place your hands under your shoulders, and extend your arms into push-up position. Contract your abs. Keep your back flat in a straight line from head to heels. Hold for 30 seconds.
*
Side plank: Lift your body and balance on one elbow and the side of one foot. Hold that position while contracting your abdominals and breathing. Hold for 30 seconds and switch sides.
Clean your house and burn calories. Doing chores also can be a good exercise, says Pete McCall, exercise physiologist with The American Council on Exercise. He says chores such as yardwork are an effective way to burn calories.
Dellasega, of the rec center, says it's important to train all parts of your body equally. Also, he says items, such as a heavy books or one-gallon plastic bottles filled with water can be handy to **add intensity** to exercises.
*
*
Lunge crossover: Stand with your feet on the floor and hip width apart. Lift your right leg, bend your knees, and step back toward your left leg. Repeat this 15 times and switch legs. To add intensity, hold up the gallon of plastic bottle while you exercise.
Superman exercise: Lie face down on the floor. Keep your legs straight and arms straight and extended above your head. Then lift your arms and legs up to form a gentle curve with your body. Hold for 30 seconds.
Tips for WORKOUTS
*
Drink water before and after your exercise.
*
A banana or apple is a good pre-exercise snack.
关
Stretch before and after strengthening exercise.
*
Don't exercise right before you sleep. Exercise can keep you alert.
*
Get enough sleep after your exercise. Muscle grows while you rest in a bed.

nurture by nature Stinging nettle
As beautiful as that weather is (or should be) in April, spring can be a time some people dread. Allergy sufferers' eyes begin to itch and noses begin to run, and the chronic sneezing and incessant itching in their throats sends them back inside.
More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. For many people, over-the-counter meds just don't seem to do the trick. But what if the cure for your allergies was just as natural as the flowers that cause them?

Alleviate your allergies: Singing nettle can help those itchy eyes and runny noses for allergy sufferers.
Tyra Crouch, wellness manager at The Community Mercantile, says the plant stinging nettle is her No. I choice to relieve the itchy eyes and runny nose that come with the changing seasons.
"Internally, nettle helps to balance out your histamines. I take a lot in the spring and summer to get rid of my itchy eyes and runny nose." Crouch says.
The plant is native to the Midwest region and comes in a pill form at most wellness centers and natural grocery stores. Nettle can reduce the amount of histamine the body produces when
it responds to an allergen. By balancing out your histamines, the nettle relieves the most common of allergy symptoms.

That's DISGUSTING Handkerchiefs
My grandfather used to carry the same handkerchief around every time I saw him. When I was younger, he would even wipe my face with it. My mother would always give the same repulsed look, staring in disbelief that my grandfather would think to clean off my face with the same piece of cloth he had been blowing snot into for the past three weeks.
However, handkerchiefs have been making a comeback recently because they are more environmentally friendly than tissues. But Charles Gerwick, emergency physician in Overland Park, says the health risks of keeping a handkerchief outweighs the green benefits.
A woman covers her mouth with a tissue.

"Cold viruses and bacteria are present in the secretions that you clear from your nose. These viruses live on the handkerchief and then you go and touch other surfaces or people and they contract the virus." Gerwick says. "Handkerchiefs are a reservoir for the virus to live and replicate."
**Illustration by Megan Wettern**
Wipe away the day, Urea. The virus repeatedly can spread and multiply viruses and germs.
After you use a handkerchief, it is covered in the viruses or bacteria that secrete from your nose. When you then stuff it back into your pocket, the viruses and bacteria are now
not only on your hands but in your pocket.
Each time you reach in and out of your pocket to grab the hanky, you are covering your hands in bacteria and viruses from your snot. So unless you are going to wash your hands and hanky with antibacterial soap after each use, better just stick to the tissues.

Good for you Sleeping with Bad for you the light on
In most college students younger years, and maybe even in recent years, sleeping with the light on was a necessity. Turns out, sleeping with the light on can screw up your sleep cycle.
Light, including sunlight and artificial light, affects our bodies in different ways. When it's bright, light signals transfer from our eyes to suprachiasmatic nuclei, which are made up of tiny brain cells, and promote wakefulness. In a darker environment, our brains produce the hormone melatonin, which triggers sleep. Certain exposures to light and dark in a day maintains our circadian rhythms.
Sleeping in a bright room can make it harder to fall asleep and prevent our circadian rhythms from working properly, says Gary Carder, registered respiratory therapist at Pulmonary and Sleep Associates in Topeka. The supra chiasmatic nucleus controls our body's biological clock. Exposure to too much light during the night confuses our body's day/night cycle, Carder says.

Nighty night: Sleeping with the lights off promotes a better sleeping environment because darker environments help the brain produce sleep-aiding hormones.
He recommends making a bedroom as dark as possible when sleeping. If you sleep during the daytime, shutting off a bedroom from the sunlight will make it easier to fall asleep.

THE BROOKLYN ROADS
The Brooklyn Roads is a folk music group based in New York City. The group is known for its distinctive sound, which blends elements of folk, rock, and pop. They are often celebrated for their energetic performances and unique style.

Uncle Sam's band Fourth of july's music is full of energy, which can be in its pumped performances and slightly demeaned beateremotion.
If the statue outside the house of Fourth of July lead singer Brendan Hangauer is any indication, the band grabs the bull by the horns. That may truly be the case as Hangauer says the band evolved from his musical stylings.
Hangauer says he started playing guitar from the help of a friend. From there, his brother Patrick began playing the upright bass at performances, and eventually, Fourth of July came to be. Hangauer says the music progressively got louder as more people were added, which naturally led to the formation of the band.
Now, the band is churning out what Hangauz calls "folk punk" music. "We're the

The band's music is full of energy, Hangauer says, and a Fourth of July concert is a release of that energy. "Usually everybody's pretty drunk in the crowd ... and some of the people in the band." Hangauer says.
Fourth of July's last concert was on March 31 at a festival in Iowa, but Hangauer and his brother say they always try to play around Lawrence and will try to book a show sometime in the next couple months. When they do perform, you can be sure it will be an energetic experience.

Lawrence dudes making brews
A new local brewer, Barnyard Brewing, is looking to make its niche in Lawrence and follow the trend of Americans buying premium beers.
BIRD LAND BREWING SCUTTLEBRIT BREWERY
Photos by Ryan McGeeney rmcgeeney@kansan.com
By Ross Stewart rstewart@kansan.com
Heath Hoadley co-owns Barnyard Brewing, a homebrew project that is looking to become a microbrewery. Hoadley studied to become a brewmaster in Chicago and Munich, Germany. He got his first brewing job in Eugene, Oregon, at the age of 21.
Heath Hoadley is in the barn again mixing up the medicine. The sun's steadily setting. He's got the Bunsens burning.
He adjusts the levels and releases a steady stream of wort.
In the backyard of a home just east of downtown Lawrence, something is brewing beer.
Barnyard Brewing, operated by co-owner Mike Hummell and co-owner and brewmaster Hoadley,started late July 2008 as a homebrewing project in the hopes of becoming a full-blown microbrewery. Hoadley, an experienced brewmaster, brews 47-gallon batches of beer in a red barn in the backyard of Hummell's home, converting wort, unfermented beer into beer.
What they're entering into is the craft-beer industry, which means they're making beers that have a more complex flavor than a standard American pilsner such as Budweiser or Coors. Think New Belgium beers, or better yet, a few local-craft brews such as 23rd Street, Free State or even Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri.The craft-beer industry has grown 12 percent in the first half of 2008 and grew the same percentage from 2006 to 2007, according to the Brewers Association.
The increase from 2006 to 2007 was just short of 1 million barrels of beer—from about 7 million barrels to a little more than 8 million.
What is a craft brewer?
Standing tiptoe over a barrel in a pair of gray galoshes, Hoadley stares in with a flashlight to check the grain. The barn doesn't emit an enjoyable smell. There are three huge,
gleaming stainless steel barrels, giant Bunson burners and a walk-in freezer crammed into it. Country music blares from a radio in the corner.
Hoadley studied to become a brewmaster at several schools, including the Sieble Institute of Technology in Chicago and Doemens Academy in Munich. Germany. The first job in the brewing industry he had was in Eugene, Oregon, where he was a dishwasher at a
brewery. The assistant brewer fell asleep on the toilet at the job. He was fired, and Hoadley had just turned 21 and was offered the job.
He looks up from a barrel and waves me over to smell it. I assumed it was going to smell unpleasant, like wet decomposing grain, but upon sticking my nose over the rim, I was surprised—it smelled like sweet, warm oatmeal, not emulating the often-ripe smell emitting from the barn.
Barnyard Brewing can't legally sell the beer it produces because it is considered a homebrewery. In Kansas, you're either a microbrewer or a homebrewer. A homebrewer produces small batches of beer for noncommercial consumption.To legally sell the beer in Kansas, Barnyard Brewing has to produce its beers in a commercial or industrial space with a license.
"There are laws regarding self-distribution

Heath Hoadley often starts the brewing process as early as 7:30 in the morning.
and for a microbrewery, distribution is key," says Paul Gatza, Brewers Association director. "You can make the best beer in the world but if you can't get it onto the shelves and into restaurants, you won't make it."
To be deemed a microbrewery requires fitting a guideline; a microbrewery must make fewer than 15,000 barrels of beer per year.
Also, being called a craft brewer requires a few things. The Brewers Association lists three rules to earning the title.
A craft brewer has to be small, independent and traditional, meaning it has to have an annual production of fewer than 2 million barrels of beer (allowing for breweries larger than microbreweries), less than 25 percent of the brewery can be owned by an alcohol industry member (who's not a craft brewer), and at least 50 percent of its production must be malt beers.

A hydrometer floats in a graduated cylinder of wort. The hydrometer measures "specific gravity," displaying how much sugar is in the wort.
During the interview, Hoadley hands me an Irish red and then later a porter. The porter, called Bonfire Porter, is one of the best porters I've ever had. It reminds me of a light, chocolate New Castle Ale. I know that's not a porter. But the point remains—they're not fooling around—they're making real beer.
To become a microbrewer, Hummell and Hoadley are looking to move into a new space to produce their beers soon and are working on licensing. They have five beers lined up for production:a golden ale, an Irish red, a porter, a dunklewiezen and a double-fermented golden ale flavored with peach wine.
Worldwide growth
Craft beers have been drastically increasing in popularity in the U.S. and around the world.
Since 2004, there has been an increase in dollar sales of 58 percent, according to Gatza. He chalks it up to the growing trend of buying local products and a focus toward flavorful foods and beers.
He likens it to the growth in popularity of other specialty food field, like artisanal cheeses, breads and pastries. There was a time 20 to 30 years ago, Gatza says, when one would see only white bread, wheat bread and maybe rye bread; none of the more flavorful or exotic varieties people see today. Now, there are specialty bakeries popping up and the same is happening with beer.
A beer culture is developing that is much different from 10, 15 or 20 years ago. People are excited about buying locally made products and supporting local businesses that often support the community with sponsorship for events and charities. That's how local breweries thrive—by being involved as a staple of a community.
STOUTREAT
Great beer and food combinations
Here are some suggestions courtesy of Julia Herz, craft beer program director and spokeswoman for Brewers Association.
"Thirty years ago, there were maybe 30 brewing companies having success," Gatza says. "Now there are over 1,400 craft breweries and they're doing well not only because they're cool local businesses that people support but because they're creating outstanding products."
A majority of Americans live within 10 miles of a craft brewer, says Julia Herz, craft beer program director and spokeswoman for the Brewers Association.
"The big suggestion is to match strength with strength," she says. "When pairing with imperial stout you want something rich and thick like that chocolate cake."
2) Indian pale ale and blue cheese
I) Stout and oysters
3) Barley wine and blue cheese
Locally made lagers
4) Amber lager and a roasted chicken (her personal favorite)
5) Pale ale with a cheeseburger
And it is true; out of 1,527 breweries in the U.S.,1,483, or 97 percent, of them are small and independent.
6) Imperial stout, a really heavy stout, with chocolate cake
Heath Hoodly of Lawrence, co-owner and brewmaster of Barnyard Brewing, inspects a kettle for any debris before filling it with beer from a mash tun tank.
Barnyard Brewing has done two tastings in Lawrence, one at The Pool Room and the other at the Eagles Lodge. Both tastings featured live music and as much beer as you could drink.
Tastings give brewers the chance to see what beers go over the best with beer drinkers. They can then tailor their beers to what they find drinkers enjoy the most. Also, as brewers they get to see people enjoy their product, which is one of the aspects Hoadley enjoys most about brewing beer, other than drinking it.
"I love working with my hands, crafting something, sharing something that puts smiles on the faces of others," Hoadley says."There's nothing better than handing somebody a beer and having their eyes light up a little after
they're tasting it saying, "Woo damn."
This mindset allows craft brewers to supply what their audience demands. They have more flexibility in styles, tastes and ingredients than larger breweries in America.
"Those guys are the ones that are going to be doing these really creative, not having to fit the corporate mold, experimental beers," Herz says. "The marketplace has been rewarding beers with self, sense and soul."
Hummell thinks live music and beer tastings go together well. People would rather hang out and have a good time than go to a restaurant, eat, drink and leave. As a plus, he says it's a lot of fun having bands around.

Heath Hoody of Lawrence, co-owner and brewmaster of Barnyard Brewing, inspects a gauge on the far side of a hot liquor tank, which heats water to 180 degrees Fahrenheit before it is transferred into a mash tank tun, where grain is added to the water until it is evenly saturated.

Barnyard Brewing is participating in a tasting on Friday in Ottawa. It's the Ottawa Main Street Association's annual fundraiser at the Carnegie Community Center. It's featuring Barnyard beer, along with wine, cheese, food and an auction.
Katy Boothe, executive director of the Ottawa Main Street Association, already has three state representatives and one state senator on the guest list; one of the leading pieces on auction is from artist Jack Sorenson, who has done work for production companies such as Warner Bros.
Tastings also give craft brewers the chance to find investors. Making beer is not cheap. Hummell says that to get a full blown microbrewery going, with a bottling operation, would require an investment of $300,000—after that he shook his head, chuckled and said that they could work with less, and they are, but that's the ideal set up. Hummell works at the Wonder Bread factory in Lenexa and Hoadley works in the kitchen at Zig & Mac's.
Change in taste
Brewing is an all-day process. Hoadley heads over to the barn at 7:30 in the morning to prepare for the brewing process. Some days he stays there late into the night, depending on how many batches of beer he is making, but this day he is there until early in the afternoon.
Many microbreweries are known for their often-zany beer flavors, but Barnyard doesn't want to start out that way. Originally, he planned to make just three beers, and has now moved on to five.
"It isn't about what we like.It's about making sure that we have an accessible product," Hummell says.
But it turns out the craft beers that are selling the most are Indian pale ales or the seasonal beers with intense flavors that are often made only one time, or become available once a year. There is demand from drinkers to have a special beer that they may only be able to get for a limited amount of time.Herz says.These beers often feature local ingredients and reflect the season.
"Seasonal beers are ever-changing, and there's a halo effect from a loyal following; people are into taste, flavor and feeling of the moment of these not always available beers," Herz says.
This gives Hoadley a chance to really play with the flavor and style of Barnyard's beers. By manipulating the natural ingredients and using different techniques, he can effectively change the overall experience people have when drinking the beer. His techniques and style have been built over the years through trial and error and tasting a ton of beer.
"I like to work backwards," Hoadley says. "Get the flavor in my head. This is what I want. Well, how would I get this flavor?"
People who buy craft beers are looking for brewers who focus on taste.The prices of raw material and ingredients have increased over the past year, which has placed a price increase on beer buyers. Imports have been losing sales with American beer drinkers and craft brewers have been gaining an audience. People shopping
for a craft beer are looking for quality over quantity. You can't buy 30 packs of an Indian pale ale like you can Natural Light or Miller High Life.
"In this economy, what consumers are increasing to use as a point of decision are what products have value across the spectrum. Value doesn't mean low price. They're getting an experience that they're looking for." Gatza says.
Hoadley lights up a cigarette and takes a drag and a sip of the Irish red ale. The guy likes beer. Water stands at our feet from a night of rain. Small "cornie" kegs, like the kind that Pepsi and Coke use for soda fountains, sit full or waiting to be filled with yet another batch of beer.
"Want another?" he asks.
I stop and wonder how many other times in history that exchange has occurred. "Want another beer?" It just so rarely happens that the person offering you the beer made it himself. JP

in the life of... A Liberty Tax Service 'waver'
If you see Diana Buie dressed as the Statue of Liberty playing an Irish jig on the side of the road, then you can be sure she's having fun, and getting paid for it.
Buie is a "waver" for Liberty Tax Service and her purpose is to bring customers in. Liberty Tax Service hires wavers temporarily during the tax season. Having someone wave to customers makes them more at ease when they come in, says Sue Simmons, owner of Liberty Tax Service.
ALEXANDRA MEYER
"It's about taking down the intimidation of the word 'taxes.'" Simmons says.
Buie, a KU graduate, says she was attracted to the job when she saw another waver.
Photo by Adam School
"It looked like he was seriously enjoying himself, so I wanted to have that job." Bue says.
She plays her "violenla," a three-quarter-sized viola with five strings, which adds something unique to the job. She plays traditional Irish jigs.
Look at me! Liberty Tax Service hires "wavers" to put customers at ease about doing their taxes.
"People pull over quite a bit and let traffic pile up." Buie says. The strangest of these occurrences was when a woman pulled over with a parrot on her shoulder. Buie says.
"The woman was a violin teacher and thought my violenla was the coolest thing." Buie says. "I thought she was the coolest thing
because she had a parrot on her shoulder."
There are drawbacks to the job, Buie says. You have to work in the rain and remain moving for 50 minutes at a time.
"Hyperactivity is wonderful!" Simmons says. She looks for people who love to dance and are larger than life.

MUSIC: The Last Kiss by Jadakiss
It's been nearly a decade since Jadakiss became one of the leading voices in hip-hop culture. Since coming into the hip-hip world, Jadakiss has held a steady fan base as a member of the group D-Block and again as a solo artist. His socially conscious lyrics and head-bopping beats have earned him bragging rights among rap artists. Since releasing two solo albums, he failed to deliver the solid album that would take him all the way in the music world. In his recent album, The Last Kiss, Jadakiss offers the variety of sounds, beats and vocals that fans have come to expect.
In the violin-heavy track "Pain and Torture," Jadakids delivers a rhyme loaded with confidence, reminding fans why he is still on top with lyrics like, "I flip words around kind of like birds and pounds / rub shoulders in the industry with nerds and clowns."
He reinforces his right to brag in the soulful sounding song "Can't Stop Me" featuring Ayanna Irish, by stating"I'm a call it confidence because I ain't cocky / I just know one thing, they can't stop me," and again in "Grind Hard," which features Mary J. Blige.
Some tracks delivers the bounce beats and heavy chanting that attracts a more mainstream fan base like in "Who's Real" and "Something Else." Others captured the more introspective

MOVIE: Adventureland
Hmm ... Adventureland. Just as the title leads you to believe, this movie is quite the adventure. From the same guys who brought you Superbad, which is superior to this movie in so many ways, comes this uncanny version of the 1987 life of the college-aged young adult, James, struggling with self-identity. But let's not be too serious.
James finds himself in a predicament. Instead of using his summer after graduation to discover the romanticism of Europe, he finds himself wasting away at a very rundown amusement park because his father received a pay cut. At Adventureland, the park, he meets Em, the irresistible NYU student with a dark side. Boy meets girl. Elsewhere is a girl named Lisa P., who is every young man's '80s beauty.Alongside them is the Russian lit major Joel and the Adventureland managers played awkwardly (in a good way) by Bill Hader and Saturday Night Live's Kristen Wiig.
Amid the jumble of 20s angst and aspirations lies another issue: daddy issues. It seems that every character, save perhaps Joel and Ryan Reynold's character, has an issue dealing with a father figure, ranging from job loss and alcoholism to replacing mothers with an evil stepmother too quickly.
All the actors do a phenomenal job convincing us that working at a theme park in the summer

I don't deem myself a desirable wife: I can't cook, I'd rather buy new clothes than clean previous ones, and I don't seem to possess a maternal bone in my body. So imagine my optimism when I decided to read the latest relationship how-to book: Will Marry for Food, Sex, and Laundry by Simon Oaks. Oaks attempts to reassure women of their marrying ability by twisting their perspectives into men's interpretations. For example, jealous and nagging women should implement simple communicating, nurturing and ego-boosting skills in order to satisfy men's Neanderthal needs.
Over the course of the 200-paged, politically incorrect marriage manual, I learned how to differentiate between cuts of cow in order to feed my meat-loving man, how to amp up the sexy vibe by committing to his sexual fantasies, and how to assign "man chores" for him to feel empowered by accomplishing an easy household task.
Although the aforementioned are obviously worthwhile lessons in life, I'm sad to say I wasn't enlightened by the guidelines guaranteed to enhance my man-capturing skills. There are a thousand different humiliating and heartbreaking

VIDEO GAME: Resident Evil 5
reviews
Resident Evil 5 picks up where the last one ended.The gamer is Chris Redfield,a member of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance. He travels to the African desert to investigate a terrorist threat of Umbrella's weapons.Upon arrival Chris meets his new partner, Sheva Alomar and the fun starts there.
Nearly ten years after the release of the original Resident Evil, CAPCOM produces yet another installment, Resident Evil 5. This survival-horror video game involves more strategy on the part of the gamer and brings about the helpful co-op fighting throughout the game.
Chris and Sheva fight together throughout the game and Sheva proves to be somewhat helpful. She is not a useless player that the gamer has to babysit all through the game.She fights pretty well but if she becomes injured or has no ammunition it is the responsibility of the gamer to supply the needed items.Likewise,Sheva provides the same assistance to the gamer.
Resident Evil 5 demands a little more strategy on the part of the participant.The bosses at the end of each level are all different and require various forms of killing.Also,the game provides a rather simple inventory selection.With the use of the directional buttons,one click and

MUSIC: Two Suns by Bat for Lashes
When Natasha Khan, also known as Bat for Lashes, opens her mouth to sing, it feels like an otherworldly experience; her high voice, eerie melodies and majestic instrumentations are mystical and beautiful. With her second album, Two Suns, Khan rises above her 2006 release, Fur and Gold, by creating music that is more bold and creative than ever before.
The airy echoes and harmonies on "Moon and Moon" sound like a lullaby of sorts, and the first single, "Daniel," brings synth-pop qualities to the album and is one of several tracks that features a collaboration with Brooklyn-based experimental band Yeasayer.
Throughout the album's entirety, Khan plays with concepts and themes of duality, as well as her alter ego, Pearl—Pearl's golden locks rival Khan's jet-black tresses, and Pearl's nature is more destructive and bold than Khan's spiritual disposition, which can be seen in "Siren Song" when Khan sings, "My name is Pearl ... my blonde curls slice through your heart."
The track "Two Planets" hosts an array of percussive instruments and claps. "The Big Sleep" is a song with a beautiful piano part and more of Khan's mystical tones accompanied by
BAT LASHES
TWO SUNS
Scott Walker's deeper ones, which combine in a powerful duet to bring Khan's ambitious and ethereal album to a close.

BOOK: Body Copy by Michael Craven
People write for themes or messages, but people read for characters. Michael Craven's debut novel, Body Copy, introduces to the crime fiction scene Donald Tremaine, a classic 1950s private investigator in modern day.
The book begins much like the black and white movies do with a beautiful dame walking into a hard-bitten detective's life. She's got a problem, see, and there's only one man who can work her mysteries out. Except Tremaine's girl isn't a helpless knockout, and instead of waltzing into his office, she shows up at his California trailer park to discuss the murder of her dead unite, advertising mogul and genius Roger Gale.
Gale's murder, a case even the police couldn't solve, is as enigmatic as the man himself, but with a detective just as likely to tackle the killer as he is the case, some of the leads, and lies, start to unravel. Tremaine's introspection about his past, the ever-present glimmer of vulnerability, make this tough guy the quintessential PI.
Though Craven has a talent for plot twists and steadily paced narrative, he couldn't quite shake off his trade: journalism. The dialogue feels attributed and the perfectly placed "Tremaine said" at every sentence's end has the conversation sounding more like an article than

MUSIC: Lost Channels by The Great Lake Swimmers
The Great Lake Swimmers' latest release, Lost Channels, would be the perfect album for a summer getaway to a secluded cabin on an island in the middle of Lake Erie.
The music is relaxed alternative folk, comparable to Iron and Wine or Sufjan Stevens. Acoustic guitar and excellent lyrical work lay the foundation for each song, creating solid song structure and fantastic tone. For the most part, the album is slow and mellow. This isn't a bad thing, though, as many of the slow ballads feature deep texture with the addition of electric guitar, mandolin and steel pedals.
"Pulling on a Line" is one of the faster songs on the album and is highlighted by an excellent chorus with smooth electric guitar played over a rhythmic mandolin. Also great is "The Chorus in the Underground," the best song on the album. Its creative lyrics and fluid mandolin plucking accent an excellent folky rhythm played by an acoustic guitar. A laid-back violin also emphasizes the central melody nicely.
Overall, the album is filled with high quality

music. It definitely takes a particular mood to enjoy the tranquility of the music, but when the time is right, Lost Channels is the perfect dose of chill folk music.

A gift from my grandmother
An eternal bond created in the kitchen
I can't hear the banging of pots and pans or smell the aroma of roasting pork without thinking of my grandmother, Gigi.
Gigi and I cooked our last meal together seven years ago, but as I sauté olive oil and garlic in my small kitchen in Lawrence, I am once again standing next to her preparing olive oil and garlic in her small kitchen in Montpelier,
Vermont. Her short white hair is in a crisp wave atop her head and her long wrinkly fingers peel each clove of garlic with precision and speed. Pork fried rice is on the menu.
In our family, cooking has always been a family affair, with loud music and 15 people screaming to be heard. Everyone in the kitchen has a special task, whether it's peeling potatoes
or garlic or carving the turkey. My grandmother loved these family efforts and the noise that went along with them. For her, each sound in the kitchen was special: the banging of pots and pans, the light whistling of boiling water, the crunch of peppers and onions or the cracking sound an egg makes when it is hit against the sharp edge of the counter.
By Megan Weltner mweltner@kansan.com

FASHION & CULTURE
For Megan, cooking with her grandma, Gigi, was a way for them to bond and spend time together.
Contributed photo
We sat and waited for each individual grain to cook in the boiling water. Her hand circled the pot—her round, deep-set eyes were so focused. The steam rose as we strained the blanched, softened rice. Gigi and I moved on to chopping each brightly colored vegetable. She grabbed the large kitchen knife with care and began to chop the onion. As she cut into the onion, the pungent scent stung her curved nose. It was a nose both she and my mother hated, but she took in the scent so carefully with it, shutting her eyes as though she wanted to remember the smell forever. After we chopped each vegetable one by one, it was time to put them in the wok. Each of the tiny red, yellow, green and purple pieces spattered in the pan.
As we stood at the counter chopping that evening, she told me stories of my mother; the day she ate an entire stick of butter as a child or the first time she came home drunk, expecting my grandmother to be clueless. I still can hear her infectious laugh so clearly in my head. I remember thinking to myself,"I will remember this night forever."
As we sat and enjoyed our candlelit dinner of pork fried rice, she told me how even on the coldest, loneliest nights in Vermont, she is comforted by the memories of our family in the kitchen cooking dinner. Although Gigi lived miles from our family, she said every night when she would cook dinner in her small, white kitchen, she would think of all the meals we had cooked together as a family.
Only now do I realize what cooking dinner is to me. As I stand, alone, in my kitchen with the dark, creaking, wood floors below me, my family miles away, I feel as if they are next to me, helping me to stir the simmering garlic or reduce the cream sauce. Each member of my family has a hand in cooking my meals, and each adds his or her own ingredient.
I like to think Gigi is with me every time I enter the kitchen, helping me test a new recipe or laughing at me when I burn the shit out of my eggs. Cooking is a way for me to feel relaxed after a day full of anxiety and, most importantly, it is Gigi's voice still ringing in my ear. The eating is always important, but for me it is the cooking that has molded the real memories. JP

A 22-year-old KU student was arrested in connection with rape, domestic battery and aggravated burglary in the 5000 block of Clinton Parkway early Wednesday morning, Lawrence Police Sgt. Mark Warren said.

The suspect is currently detained in the Douglas County Jail. His bond has been set at $30,000.
BUDGET
The Kansas Board of Regents unanimously reaffirmed its commitment to support the freezing of state university tuition for Kansas residents for the upcoming academic year.
Regents supports freezing of tuition
BY AMANDA THOMPSON athompson@kansan.com
According to a Board of Regents press release, the tuition freeze would be possible if there were no further budget cuts to higher education, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' recent veto of budget restrictions is upheld and no additional unfunded budgetary mandates are imposed.
"The tuition freeze will directly benefit Kansas resident students in all six of the universities in Kansas," said Kip Peterson, director of government relations and communications for the Board of Regents.
"They'll be working on it again," Peterson said. "The Board won't make a final decision until the budget has been put to bed."
Peterson said legislation would convene in two weeks to further discuss the decision to uphold the tuition freeze, but that the budget and decision would not be finalized until May or June.
The Kansas Board of Regents also approved the Jayhawk Generations Scholarship, which will waive partial tuition for students that meet certain academic requirements and are the children or grandchildren of Kansas alumni.

LGBT
Variety of events play to similarities between lifestyles
Starting Monday members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community will use kissing, dancing and acting to get issues not often discussed into the open.
BY BETSY KUTCLIFF

"Pride week is the one time of year when the queer community can step forward and show KU that we are proud of our sexual orientation," Campbell said.
Ryan Campbell, Olathe senior
One issue that will be addressed is the division between the different groups within the community. Campbell said one of the goals of Queers and Allies was to show members of the LGBT community that they all stood for the same thing.
and president of Queers and Allies, said he hoped that Pride Week's events would bring students of all sexual orientations together.
Pride Week coordinator Sarah
Thompson, Salina senior, said she hoped the week would bring a sense of community to all students on campus.
"I want straight students and queer students to be able to comfortably coexist on campus," Thompson said.
The kiss-in in front of Strong Hall will jump start the week, and Campbell said the point of the event was to show that the queer community wasn't any different than the straight community.
"We all make out, the only difference is the gender of our partner," Campbell said.
One issue in the LBGT
community that will be featured during Pride Week is domestic violence. According to the Lambda Organization, which specializes in LGBT studies, the rate of domestic violence in same-gender relationships is about 25 percent — roughly the same as domestic violence against heterosexual women. An additional form of abuse unique to the LGBT community is threatening to "out" a partner to friends and family. This can be considered emotionally abusive to the partner.
Rachel Gadd-Nelson, Kansas City Kan., sophomore and public
relations manager for Queers and Allies, said the domestic violence program was unique because it dealt with problems within the community.
"It's a lot easier to talk about hate crimes towards our community than violence within it," Gadd-Nelson said.
Another unique feature next week will be a performance by the feminist hip-hop group Las Krudas.

Students' view on the food

Papa Keno's Pizzeria 1035 Massachusetts St.
**Type of restaurant:** Pizza
**Overall star rating:** 3.5 out of 5
**Signature dish:** The Slice
**Tastes like:** New York Style
**Price range:** $3.50 - $25.00
**What I ate:** A large slice of cheese pizza with a medium drink.
**Review:** Once you walk into Papa Keno's, you are instantly captivated by a nice local bar scene that at the same time has the feel of the old pizzerias seen in movies. Once you place your order and
take a seat, a very friendly environment surrounds you. After sitting for a few minutes, you get your food and are astounded by the behemoth-sized slice. These slices are so large that they actually have to cut your separate slice into tiny other slices, and for only $3.50, its very reasonable. The only downside of Papa Keno's is that if you are going to eat there, you need to get there early because it gets very packed very fast. But overall, this restaurant is a good choice for a Friday night downtown.

PACIFIC CENTRAL ELECTORAL CONFERENCE

Students of Liberty presidential candidate Adam Wood, Lawrence junior, dejectedly watches as election results are announced on Thursday afternoon at Wood's apartment. Wood, and vice presidential candidate Johnathan Wilson, Paola junior, placed third in their race, receiving 6 percent of the vote.
Wood's second run ends in disappointment again
BY ALEXANDRA GARRY
agarry@kansan.com
The party was smaller this year, but the hopes were higher. As a result, so was the disappointment.
About 15 students gathered for the Students of Liberty watch party Thursday afternoon, joking, drinking and waiting for the announcement of the winning coalition.
Adam Wood, Lawrence senior and Students of Liberty presidential candidate, said he thought the controversies surrounding the coalitions made for a race in which anything could happen.
"I'm putting everyone on an equal level." Wood said before the results were announced.
If Wood was going to put
money on any result, he said, it would be that United Students would lose.
When the election was called for United Students, Wood and others expressed great surprise.
"I just don't understand," Wood said. "It just goes to show, money wins elections."
Wood and vice-presidential candidate Johnathan Wilson, Paola junior, said they would try to get replacement senate seats and focus their groups efforts at the national level.
"Students of Liberty will win somewhere," Wood said. "I hope its KU next year."
Students of Liberty lost the election with 339 total votes, or six percent, overall.

Members of Envion celebrate as the election results are announced Thursday at Alex Porete's house. United Students won the election by 95 votes.
Envision's clouds have silver lining
BY MICHELLE SPREHE
msprehe@kansan.com
After weeks of campaigning and two days of elections, Envision candidates JJ Siler, Alex Porte and about 45 other members of the coalition gathered in Porte's home and found that the coalition had lost by 95 votes. Siler, Overland Park junior, and Porte, Great Falls, Va., junior, lost the presidential and vice-presidential seats to United Students' Mason Heilman and May Davis.
"I'm not content accepting that because it's not certifiable yet." Siler said.
Davis was eliminated from the ballot by the election commission Tuesday night for alleged improper contact with members of the election commission, who were also members of her sorority.
She was put back on the ballot early Wednesday morning by Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
"It's a constant struggle when you're dealing with an incumbent that does not know how to behave." Siler said.
Porte said he wouldn't appeal the decision of the student body, but he would complain to the elections commission that United Students didn't follow the rules.
"Ninety-five votes is such a close election," Porte said. "We really need to examine how each coalition not those votes."
Thirty-nine Envision candidates won senate seats and United Students candidates won 27 senate seats.
"Our coalition is much bigger and more important than JJ and myself", Porte said. "The fact we didn't win every single seat isn't a disappointment."

Tutu Lee's $4,000 does not get girlfriend back
BY BETSY CUTCLIFF
bcutcliff@kansan.com
After spending $4,000 on a campaign that began with a YouTube video, Tutu Lee, Manhattan senior, said it was no surprise to him that he lost. He said he didn't run to win back his girlfriend, as he stated in the video, but instead to take away votes from the Envision campaign. Lee received 3 percent of the student vote, garnering him last place in the election.
Even as Lee criticized members of the incumbent coalition United Students and its established opposition coalitions, he said he enjoyed his run for president and enjoyed working with them.
Lee said that what he disliked most about the Envision coalition was the similarity between its and President Obama's Web sites. He said he "pissed himself in ecstasy" when he heard the final results of the student election.

One thing Campbell said he hoped students would take away

Football broadcasters Pat Summerall, left, and John Madden stand in the FOX broadcast booth at the Louisiana Superdome before Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans. Madden, who became a broadcaster after ending his coaching career, has announced his retirement
NEW YORK — John Madden is retiring from football announcing, where his enthusiastic, down-to-earth style made him one of sports' most popular broadcasters for three decades.
The Hall of Fame coach spent the last three seasons on NBC's "Sunday Night Football." His final telecast was the Super Bowl in February.
"You know at some point you have to do this — I got to that point," Madden said on his Bay Area radio show Thursday. "The thing that made it hard is not because I'm second guessing, 'is it the right decision?' But I enjoyed it so damn much.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I enjoyed the game and the players and the coaches and the film and the travel and everything."
Cris Collinsworth will replace Madden, moving over from the network's studio show, NBC Sports chief Dick Ebersol said. Collinsworth filled in when Madden took a game off last October.
Ebersol called Madden "absolutely the best sports broadcaster who ever lived."
Madden said his health is fine, but at the age of 73, he wanted to spend more time with his family.
His 50th wedding anniversary is this fall, and his five grandchildren are old enough to notice when he's gone.
"If you hated part of it or if something was wrong, it'd be easy," Madden said.
Madden's blue-collar style and love for in-the-trrenches football endeared him to fans. His "Madden NFL Football" is the top-selling sports video game of all time.
often traveled to games in a specially equipped bus.
Madden is reluctant to fly and
Longtime broadcast partner Al Michaels said Madden would have a unique place in pro football history.
"No one has made the sport more interesting, more relevant and more enjoyable to watch and listen to than John." Michaelsa said in a statement. "There's never been anyone like him and he's the gold standard for analysts for almost three decades."

Statewide smoking ban would benefit Kansans
Senators in Kansas recently sent a bill to the House containing a ban on smoking in public places, including bars and restaurants, throughout the
both Kansas businesses and its residents
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the levels of secondhand smoke in restaurants and bars are two to five times higher than residences with smokers. This is important, because according to the California Environmental Protection Agency almost 50,000 adult nonsmokers die each year in the U.S. from secondhand smoke. Even short exposures to secondhand smoke can reduce heart rate variability, which can increase the risk of a heart attack or damage the lining of blood vessels.
Scott Pelan, Lenexa junior, supports the statewide smoking ban.
"I respect a person's decision to smoke," Pelan said. "But I also respect a person's decision not to, and I don't think they should
have to be exposed to smoke."
hare to be exposed to smoke. Currently 21 states* have banned smoking in almost all public places, including restaurants and bars. Many other states
have partial statewide bans. For example, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana and Nevada prohibit smoking in most public places.
including restaurants, but exempt stand-alone bars.
Many cities throughout the state already have citywide smoking bans in effect. Overland Park and Leawood prohibit smoking in restaurants and bars, and Lawrence's ban went into effect almost five years ago, in July 2004. Johnny's Tavern owner Rick Renfro said he lost about 25 percent of his business when the ban passed. He said smokers who used to frequent Johnny's left because of the ban and started going to other nearby bars outside Lawrence city limits.
Although Renfro is against regulations of smoking, saying he thinks it should be a business' own decision, he supports a state-wide ban.
"The problem with the smoking ban is it's city to city." Renfro said. "I'd rather it be statewide to level the playing field."
Shannon Lobb, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said she didn't mind the ban even though she was a smoker herself. Lobb said that even in restaurants where there was no smoking ban, she chose not to smoke out of respect for the other patrons.
"The smell lingers for a long time," Lobb said. "It really doesn't make a difference if I'm in a smoking section — when someone is smoking in a restaurant, everyone can smell it."
Legislature should pass the statewide smoking ban, which may reappear during the wrap-up session starting April 29. The ban protects the health rights of nonsmokers by preventing their exposure to second-hand smoke, and protects businesses from losing customers because of citywide bans.
-- Amy Johnson for The Kansan Editorial Board
*The 21 states with smoking bans are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New ork, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and Washington, as well as the District of Columbia.
STUDENT LIFE
This summer, take time to hit the road on your own
This Week's Soundtrack of a Life song:
"IT'S OK"
BY THE BEACH BOYS
"Fun is in, it's no sin, it's that time again, to shed your load, hit the road
on the run again. Summer skies in our eyes and a warmer sun. It's one for all, all for one, all for all-out fun."
With just four weeks until the official end to the school year (Ahh, that sounds good!), it's time to put the finishing touches on your plans for another perfect summer — of internships, jobs, vacations, camps and, oh, those summer nights.
But if I may, I would like to make a suggestion that somewhere in the 12-week outlook for late May to early August, you set aside a week or 10 days (but not at the beginning of summer, because all you'll do is eat, sleep and party) for a road trip.
Last year, a mere three weeks before school, I decided to do just that. So I came up with a few things to see, an estimated cost and duration, and then (with permission), on a sunny August afternoon, three days before a concert in Colorado. I took off.
I have been on only two in my entire life, but nothing quite embraces the summer values of spontaneity and fun like jumping in the car and driving around the country on a complete whim.
Choose an interesting, perhaps novel route: If you live in Kansas, you've been on I-70 too many times. I took I-80 across southern Nebraska and added Cheyenne, Wy., and the beautiful northeastern part of Colorado to my trip. It was a lot better than seeing Kansas again.
Now, I don't recommend everyone do this alone nor that even plan as much of the trip as I did, but there are a few musts when road-tripping.
- Stop at anything you feel like:
  Driving is meant for particular destinations, but on a road trip you can pull off when something piques your interest, such as a pony express station or a wind

farm (make joke here).
- Run into someone else you know: I didn't plan it, but I wound up in Estes Park, Colo., because I felt like heading that direction. I ended up running into and later staying the night with a friend of mine and his family, which saved me money and made for a nice, relaxing evening.
■ Make sure you get out of the car. Experience all there is in each place you stop. Don't drive somewhere, hop out to take a picture and then head to the next spot.
Most of all, enjoy everything. On my trip, I saw the majesty of Rocky Mountain National Park and attended my first two concerts, including James Taylor at Red Rocks Amphitheater outside Denver (which might be the best place to see a concert in the world). But I also drove for four hours at 11 p.m. because Sturgis attendees had booked hotels for miles around Mt. Rushmore. Instead of it being a negative, I made something of it by cruising across South Dakota with the top down, listening to the Backstreet Boys.
Know whether or not you have to be 21 to stay in a nice place: Certain hotel chains have

For freshmen, first election proved complicated process
Well, it's over. Thursday brought an end to the confusion and craziness that has characterized so much of this Student Senate election.
Because I am a freshman, this was my first major student election at the University, and it's been quite a show. From what I've gathered from upperclassmen, this election ranks well above previous elections in the craziness factor.
FROSH THINKING
Not one of these dramatic incidents concerned substantive issues affecting all students.
The controversy started early with the suspension of treasurer Alex Porte, an Envision candidate, by student body president Adam McGonigle, a United Students member. The suspension appeared to some students to have political undertones. The antics of Free State presidential candidate Titu Lee garnered the attention of media and students with a YouTube video. Add in a canceled debate as well. Anonymous threats led Kansan editor Brenna Hawley to cancel the debate. Then, more twists when less than eight hours before polls opened, the Student Senate elections commission suspended United Student's vice-presidential candidate May Davis.
Looking back, though this election certainly proved to be entertaining, I'm not sure it was healthy.
JONATHAN SHORMAN
except the debate, which was actually canceled the first time around.
But both Students of Liberty and United Students pushed for zero fee increases this year, so maybe even that matchup would not have resulted in a tight focus on issues.
That the issues seemed to remain on the sideline may have stemmed from the similar, though not identical, platforms of United Students and Envision. I imagine that if the Envision coalition hadn't formed and the race had been between United Students and Students of Liberty, issues may have made for more tension.
Maybe this election cycle was just ripe for distraction, with little issue divergence among the three major coalitions.
Witnessing this election as a freshman has impressed upon me the importance of Senate and the passions it can evoke on all sides.
And that's something I suspect won't change, even when I log in to vote next year as a sophomore.

Share the sidewalk
stopped at the red light on Second Street.
I could hear him huffing, trying to catch up to me. His shaggy head jutted out from the rest of his body like a truck pulling a stumpy trailer.
"You need to get off the sidewalk!" he barked at me.
"Excuse me," I didn't say it then, but had said it a few moments prior when my bicycle and I slowly rolled by him. His flapping trench coat left little room to get around, but I was able to sneak between him and the sycamore trees on the sidewalk. I didn't even touch him. Having to weave in and out of people and utility poles has given me a surgeon's precision with my handlebars.
Got him. He couldn't even beat his dead horse.
Then he hit me with what was, no doubt, in his mind the cleverest thing he had ever said. "It's called a sidewalk, not a sidebike."
"What are you, crazy?" I replied. "I'm not going to ride in the street. You wouldn't walk in the street. Why do you expect me to bike in the street?"
I'll stretch reality and assume he suddenly recalled his high school physics class and imagined the consequences of me hitting him versus those of me hitting a car. Force is equal to mass times acceleration. The
Consider these two possible scenarios:
amount of force is relative to the amount of danger. The amount of danger should determine the route one chooses. I'm sticking to the sidewalk.
The combined 230 pounds of me and my bicycle traveling at an average sidewalk speed of 10 miles per hour run into an average American, who according to the Centers for Disease Control, weighs 165.5 pounds. Worse case would be a sprain or a fracture. I can't see anyone dying.
Or, an average car, which according to the Environmental Protection Agency weighs just more than two tons, running at a moderate downtown speed of 25 miles per hour, hits the aforementioned 230 pounds, now traveling at a street speed of 15 miles per hour.
People die this way. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 698 cyclists were killed by automobiles in 2007.
Biking with the protection of a concrete curb between you and 4,000 pounds of steel and rubber is, no doubt, safer. I'm not advocating that any cyclist ride on the sidewalk in the same manner as on the street. Any sidewalk biker has to ride slower and be prepared to stop for driveways and doors. But pedestrians need to learn to share the path with courteous bikers.

Shorter chamber operas make debut in recital hall
Students compose, produce, perform operas based on literature
BY JENNIFER TORLINE jtorline@kansan.com
The Heilanthus Contemporary Ensemble is taking a small-scale approach to grand-scale opera with its chamber opera performances this weekend.
Rather than long performances in different languages, the chamber operas are all in English and are each less than 30 minutes long.
"It it's a great chance to get a tase of opera if you've never gone to one before," said Matt Elliott, Great Bend sophomore and stage manager.
The ensemble, a KU organization devoted to performing music written in the last 20 years, will present three chamber operas composed, performed and produced by students. The performances will be Saturday in Swarthout Recital Hall.
Although the ensemble has
performed chamber music in pass semesters, this is the first time for the ensemble to perform chamber operas. A chamber opera is a smaller performance than a fullscale opera because it is shorter and has fewer characters and instrumentalists involved
More than 30 students are performers, directors, conductors, stage managers, composers and musicians for the production, which has taken more than a year to prepare, said Forrest Pierce, assistant professor of music composition and director of the ensemble.
Stage Director Sylvia Stoner-Hawkins said this was the premiere performance for all three operas, which are based on folk tales and other pieces of literature. This created a challenge for singers, who had no recordings to listen to when preparing for the performances. This was Stoner-Hawkins'
first time staging a work by a living composer.
"You really have to be very sensitive to what they've created and try to mold it to a way that is respectable to their intentions," she said.
Some of the operas also involve puppets, including a Russian horse and a Japanese bamboo spirit, made by Spencer Lott, Lawrence junior. For the three student opera composers — Dan Musselman, Joe Eidson and Andrew Trites — it is the first time all of them have written an opera and had it performed.
"These are operas that you have never heard and that no one has ever heard before," Pierce said. "This music is very much about now, this very moment in our culture."
Edited by Sam Speer

Olympic tradition continues at the Kansas Relays
jbaker@kansan.com
BY JASON BAKER
The Kansas Relays have maintained a tradition of featuring Olympic athletes in competition, and this year is no different.
"It gives our fans the opportunity to see someone at the Olympic level compete," coach Stanley Redwine said.
This year's Relays bring the return of Bershawn Jackson, better known as "Batman," who took the bronze medal in the 400-meter
hurdles at the Beijing Olympic Games. Jackson is a popular athlete of the Relays; he has won the 400-meter hurdles five times at the Relays, including a four-year streak from 2005-2008. Jackson will be looking for a fifth straight victory at this year's Relays.
"He's definitely capable of doing that," Redwine said. "He's a crowd favorite and a fan favorite, so hopefully with everyone screaming for him, he'll do well."
the mile event. It's been six years since Webb last competed at the Relays.
Freshman distance runner Austin Bussing thinks it's fitting that Webb is competing.
"Kansas has such a great tradition with the mile with Glenn Cunningham, Jim Ryun and Wes Senti. It's definitely exciting to see that," Bussing said.
Bussing said that the mile event will be interesting with Christian Smith competing along with Webb. Smith, a 2006 graduate of
Kansas State, made the Olympic team qualifying in the 800-meter run.
Also slated to compete is Kansas City, Mo., native Muna Lee, whom senior sprinter Victoria Howard has been following since she was in high school.
"It's a great showing for her every year," Howard said. "A lot of people look up to her because shes a Kansas native. It's good to see her run."
Two Canadian athletes, KU hall of famer Scott Russell and hurdler
Perdita Felicien, will compete as well.
Redwine said it was hard to pick a favorite Olympic athlete who he's seen at the Relays.
"Anytime you're an Olympian, it's an honor. All of them are really good and we're happy to have all of them," Redwine said.
The Olympic athletes will begin Saturday with the Glenn Cunningham Mile Invitational, which starts at 12:55 p.m.

Junior takes fifth in decathlon
Jacob Breth performed well but a knee injury forced out teammate Corbin Kratovil
BY JASON BAKEh
jbaker@kansan.com
Freshman Corbin Kratovil wanted to kick off day two of the decathlon in the Kansas Relays with a strong performance in one of his best events; the 110-meter hurdles. Unfortunately, that event got the best of him.
During the race, Kratovil hit some hurdles, causing so much pain in his left knee that he opted not to finish his first decathlon.
"I really wanted just to finish the whole 10 events and I thought that would be kind of cool," Kratovil said.
After the hurdles, Kratovil decided to compete in the discus
throw; earning sixth place with a throw of 35.40 meters, and the pole vault, earning eighth place with a jump of 3.27 meters, before dropping out altogether because of his knee problems.
"I was hoping for it to get better,

Defense crucial in remaining Big 12 games
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
Defense has either carried Kansas or let it down in a big way this season. This weekend against Texas Tech (16-23, 7-8), the defense will have to be in top shape, especially after Tuesday's win over Creighton In that game, Kansas' defense committed a season-high four errors, letting Creighton back into the game.
It seems fitting that the Kansas baseball team is fifth in the Big 12. That's the same Big 12 ranking as their defense.
"I think those two errors were uncharacteristic. I mean, catcher interference, and then Tony trying to pick off the guy at first on a lineout, those two you just have to
Junior second baseman Robby Price thinks that two of the errors, one by senior catcher Buck Afenir and one by sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson, will not be repeated this season.

forget," Price said.
The other two, however, were fairly simple plays, and both came during Creighton's rally in the seventh inning.
Junior shortstop David Narodowski let a ground ball bounce off his chest and get away from him. Freshman pitcher Colton Murray simply dropped the ball while running to cover first base after a line drive was hit to first baseman Zac Elgie.
"You've got a freshman on the mound, and he doesn't react to cover first until he sees the ball

COMMENTARY
Baseball in position to win title again
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kbreckunitch@kansan.com
Tuesday's baseball game may have seemed like just another game on the
just another game on the surface, but there was much more going on than a casual viewer could see. Forget the fact that the victory over Creighton on Tuesday pushed Kansas' winning streak to six games. The Jayhawks also had a freshly earned national ranking on the line.
The last time the layhawks were ranked was back in 2006, when they won the Big 12 Conference championship. Why can't they do it again this year? Kansas has now swept two ranked teams this season, one of which was then No. 1 Texas.
Just look at the baseball team's success this way; no one expected anything from them. Rivals.com picked Kansas to finish dead last in the conference, and it is currently fifth. 2006 played out in a similar manner. The lajhawks entered the conference tournament as the sixth seed with a sub-500 conference record. The team proceeded to sweep its pool and win the conference championship, which led to an automatic berth in the College World Series.
The road ahead for the Jayhawks has some speed bumps, but none that would upset the momentum of this team. No. 10 Oklahoma and No. 21 Kansas State remain on the conference schedule, but besides those two teams the Jayhawks will face three of the four worst teams in the conference.
That team in 2006 was young with numerous freshmen and sophomores contributing, just like this year's team. The names may have changed, but the game is still the same. Don't underestimate the Jayhawks. That's when the team thrives. With no pressure, Kansas can play a relaxed game and continue to pile up the victories. Maybe one of those victories will come in the Big 12 Conference tournament championship again.
The pitching staff has gotten its fair share of production from the freshmen and sophomores as well. T.J. Walz and Lee Ridenhour have paired with junior ace Shaeffer Hall to form a solid starting rotation. Kansas boasts the second best team ERA in the Big 12.
Texas Tech, Nebraska and Missouri shouldn't be too much trouble for Kansas. The one wrench in the works is that Kansas will face Texas Tech and Missouri on the road, where the team has struggled at times. But, the Jayhawks consist of several freshman and sophomores that have thrived in their playing time
Kansas is making its youthfulness work though. Sophomore Tony Thompson is turning into one of the best power hitters in the conference. He leads the Big 12 with 44 RBIs and is second in doubles and fourth in homeruns. Thompson has definitely been a spark for the jayhawk offense.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I knew America was struggling a bit, but I knew we could be the heart of the team that could bring it back."
— Bershawn Jockson after Angelo Taylor, Clement Clement and he swept the 400-meter hurdles at the Beijing Olympics
FACT OF THE DAY
Standing at 5-foot-8, Jackson is much smaller than most of his competitors. Most despite having to take almost twice as many steps throughout a race, Jackson has been ranked in the world's top 10 in his event every year since 2003.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What is Bershawn Jackson's record in the 400-meter hurdles at the Kansas Relays?
A: 5-0. "Batman" has won the event five of the past six years and four in a row. Last year he was named the meet's Male Most Outstanding Performer with a time of 48.32 seconds, breaking his own meet record.

Perhaps the only thing Xavier is certain about is that he wants to play with his brother, C.J. Henry, next season. The brothers have narrowed their lists to Kansas or Kentucky.
But at this point it's still uncertain when a decision will be made.

COMMENTARY
Where will Big 12 players be drafted?
In one way, the NFL Draft is like mayonnaise and country music.
You either love it or you hate it. Now that we're a week away from the 2009 spectacle at Radio City Music Hall in New York, most people around here probably find themselves in the latter category.
That's because no Kansas players are going to be drafted. You could argue there an outside shot. Sorry, ain't happenin'.
But that doesn't mean the 2009 NFL Draft won't be full of connections to the laybacks. In fact, five consensus first round picks were enemies to Kansas in games played within the last two years.
So here's the Morning Brew's not-so-extensive guide to why Kansas fans should pay attention to the draft. We'll break down the five former Big 12 Conference players who look like they will go the highest next weekend.
JASON SMITH, BAYLOR OFFENSIVE TACKLE
Against Kansas: Was a starter on the Baylor team in 2006 that scored 19 points in the final nine minutes to beat Kansas 36-35 in Waco, Texas. The next year, Smith and the Bears suffered a 58-10 defeat to the Hawks.
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
NFL Draft Projection: No. 2 pick to the St. Louis Rams
Future Prediction: Smith is in a tough position. He looks like he'll be the first tackle taken in a draft that is loaded with talent on the offensive line. Unfortunately for Smith, he'll always be compared to other guys like Alabama's Andre Smith and Ole Miss's Michael Oher who both will be selected later in the first round but have just as much talent. Smith will be a solid professional, but no superstar. No Orlando Pace.
MICHAEL CRABTREE,
TEXAS TECH
WIDE RECEIVER
Against Kansas: Remember the 63-21 Red Raider shellacking of the Jayhawks this season? Yeah, Crabtree had nine catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns in that one.
NFL Draft Projection: No.4 pick to the Seattle Seahawks
Future Prediction: He's an All-Pro performer, no question. Some say Crabtree is the best talent in the 2009 Draft. Injuries are the only way Crabtree will be stopped from catapulting up the NFL receiver ranks.
JEREMY MACLIN,
MISSOURI
WIDE RECEIVER
Against Kansas: Maclin had 398 all purpose yards against the lajwhayns in two games. That's pretty good.
NFL Draft Projection: No. 8 pick to the jacksonville jaguars
Future Prediction: Whoever takes Maclin is making a risky move. He's not as big as a prototypical NFL receiver — Maclin is 6 foot, 198 pounds — and has a history of knee problems. But if Maclin stays healthy, there's no question he has the skills to be a No.1 receiver.
BRIAN ORAKPO, TEXAS DEFENSIVE END
Against Kansas: Orakopo only played sparingly in Texas' 35-7 victory against Kansas this past season. He was limited because he was returning from a sprained knee injury.
NFL Draft Projection: No. 10 pick to the San Francisco 49ers
THE
MORNING
BREW
Future Prediction: NFL scouts love the idea of using Orakpo as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. Orakpo's strength and athleticism should make that work.
BRANDON PETTIGREW,
OKLAHOMA STATE
TIGHT END
Against Kansas: In two games, he had four catches for 40 yards. Not exactly dazzling, but Pettigrew is also a solid blocker.
NFL Draft Projection: No.11 pick to the Buffalo Bills
Future Prediction: Rumor has it that the Bills want Pettigrew, but taking him 11th overall might be a stretch. They could trade down and still take him. Physically, held be a dominant prospect but hasn't shown game-breaking ability in college.

Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noises and the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handed these things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college. I heard about Dons Auto from some friends and through the Kansas, so I decided to give them a cat. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super under-stairing.

Team needs to use practice rounds to excel on new course
Jayhawks will face Big 12 opponents Nebraska, Kansas State
BY HALLIE MANN
hmann@kansan.com
A fresh start and a new course await the Jayhawks this weekend at the Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational.
After a weekend off, the Kansas women's golf team will head to Columbus, Ohio, to play in Ohio State's tournament for the first time. Kansas has played Ohio State this season but not on the
Buckeyes' home course, Scarlet Course.
Junior Meghan Gockel said that the team will get a practice round on Friday to test the course. Gockel said that new course would be a good challenge for the team.
"We've gotten better at how we play our practice rounds and how we use them to plan for the actual tournament," Gockel said.
Coach Erin O'Neil also said that the practice round would be important for the team to learn as much as they could about the new course.
"This is a really good course to play on even though we haven't had the chance to try it out yet," O'Neil said.
LADY BUCKEYE INVITATIONAL
Course: Scarlet Course - 6.228 yards; par 72
Tournament low score-record; 849 strokes (Auburn University,
2006)
Tournament Champions 2008: Kent State, 885 strokes
Though the team had a weekend off, O'Neil said that most of the girls spent the time practicing and spent this week's practices regrouping and evaluating the past few tournaments.
"We've been thinking about what we want to accomplish and improve on," O'Neil said. "We're ready to get out and play this weekend."
Gockel had similar sentiments and said that the team had been focusing on its mental game by trying to stay positive and not get caught on the minor things. Gockel said she had been working on her putts and her shot game in general.
"Each member of the team has been working on their own little things to get better." Gockel said.
Coming off its break and fine-tuning at practice, Kansas will be up against two Big 12 opponents, Nebraska and Kansas State,
among a field of 15 teams.
Two weeks ago, Kansas took fourth, when it played Kansas State, which placed ninth in the Susie Berning Maxwell Classic. Nebraska also took ninth
in Lubbock, Texas. O'Neill said that the team had been steadily improving over this season and that she thought the team would
at their last tournament. The Mountain View Classic.
"We've been thinking about what we want to accomplish and improve on."

O'Neil said this would be a good warm-up before the Big 12 Championships next week

"It's all really coming together at the right time for us," O'Neil said.
The Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational will have a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Saturday and
Sunday. Live stats and results will be posted to golstat.com throughout the weekend.

Duncan returns to lineup
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Chris Duncan is back and better than ever — at the plate, anyway.
Despite some adventuresome fielding, the St. Louis Cardinals are happy to have Duncan back in the lineup everyday.
"When he's healthy, he's clutch," manager Tony La Russa said Thursday after Duncan atoned for some adventurous fielding with a home run, two singles and three RBIs in the Cardinals' 7-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
In winning for the seventh time in eight games, St. Louis struck first in a 16-game season series against its longtime rival. The Cubs' frustration showed when Milton Bradley was ejected for arguing a called strike in the sixth inning.
St. Louis, which leads the league in scoring, battered five Chicago pitchers. Duncan, back after missing the second half of last season with a degenerative disk in his neck, is batting .389 with 10 RBIs.
La Russa said. "You see it the way he plays, the way he runs the bases, the way he defends, the way he takes at-bats. He's never going to give in."
"His toughness is off the charts."
Duncan's two-run homer gave St. Louis a 3-1 lead and he followed Yadier Molina's go-ahead single in the seventh with a hit of his own to make it 6-4.
Things didn't go as smoothly for Duncan in left field. He failed to catch a popup that led to the Cubs' first-inning run off of Adam Wainwright and he dropped a routine fly to get Wainwright in trouble in the sixth.
Instead, Bradley ended up being the angry one.
Ever combative and combustible, the Cubs' newest $30 million acquisition got in umpire Larry Vanover's face after the strike-three call.
He left the clubhouse before the media was allowed to enter and was unavailable for comment. When asked about Bradley's reaction to Vanover's call, Cubs manager Lou Piniella said only: "What do you
want me to say?"
Making his first start of the year for the Cubs, Sean Marshall left after five innings with a 4-3 lead. The bullpen then imploded, as has been the case often this season, wasting Kosuke Fukudome's three-run homer.
Aaron Heilman served up Kahil Greene's tying homer in the sixth, David Patton (0-1) walked pinch-hitter Joe Thurston to lead off the seventh, Neal Cotts gave up Duncan's run-scoring single and Angel Guzman allowed Brian Barden's eighth-inning homer.
Twice, a perturbed Piniella instructed pitching coach Larry Rothschild to make changes on the mound. Piniella, who like most managers usually makes such moves himself, later got more agitated when asked about it.
"I'm not trying to make a point about anything. You guys want to make a big deal out of who makes pitching changes. It doesn't matter. What matters is when the pitcher comes into the ballgame that he gets some outs."

Seniors await last regular season tournament
BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO clucero@kansan.com
This weekend's Texas A&M Aggie Invitational has a different meaning for each member
of the KU men's golf team. For senior Walt Koelbel, it presents a challenge to show the rest of the field what he can do in his last regular season tournament.
"There's a little bit of extra pressure in this tournament to give a little extra effort," Koelbel said.
And for sophomore Nate Barbee, the tournament is an opportunity to give the seniors a proper sendoff before the conference tournament.
"Obviously we want to do well for our seniors, we're just going to play hard and do what we can for them," Barbee said.
Coming off a tough finish last week in North Carolina, Koelbel

face them in the Big 12 tour- ment. The Aggie Invitational feature a total of five Big 12 teams, a fact Barbee noticed right away.
"Having a solid finish here would give us confidence going into next weekend." Barbee said.
That confidence will be necessary to disprove the lajhawk's
This weekend's tournament will feature a different scoring
"Getting rid of big numbers, especially coming down the stretch, will help us be more consistent," Koelbel said.

system than what the men are used to. The system, known to the golfers as a six-count-five, means KU will have six golfers competing in the tournament while the top five scores for each team are counted.
"With this type of system, every shot counts so we really need to pick our game up to be successful this weekend," Barbee said.

The KU tennis team will be playing its last two regular-season games of the season this weekend before the Big 12 Championships begin April 23.
TENNIS Kansas faces ranked teams for last two regular matches
Kansas will encounter No. 32 Texas, a team it has never defeated, at noon Saturday and No. 35 Texas A&M at 11 a.m. Sunday. Both dual matches will take place in Lawrence at First Serve Tennis, 5200 Clinton Parkway.
The Jayhawks are eighth in the Big 12 with a conference record of 4-5 and an overall record of 10-10. The Longhorns and the Aggies are second and third, respectively, in the conference.
These will be KU seniors Edina Horvath's and Yuliana Sivistun's last two regular-season matches of their NCAA careers.
Horvath does not think that history has to repeat itself.
"They are both very good teams. They are tough and consistent on the court. Last year we lost against them in very close matches, but it does not mean anything because I think we got tougher and better since last year," Horvath said.
Horvath said that she thought that she and her teammates would have a good chance of defeating Texas and Texas A&M if they "compete against them very hard and give our heart and 100 percent on the court."

Chicago slides by in overtime
Twelve seconds into 0T, Blackhawks win first playoff game in years
RHL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Calgary Flames goalie Mikka Kiprusoff of Finland, looks down during the second period of a first-round NHL Western conference quarterfinal hockey game against the Blackhawks.
CHICAGO — Martin Havlat scored 12 seconds into overtime and the Chicago Blackhawks won their first playoff game in seven years, beating the Calgary Flames 3-2 on Thursday night in the West Conference quarterfinals.
But Chicago got even with 5:33 left when Havalt scored on his own rebound after Kiprusoff stopped his initial shot from the right circle.
David Moss opened the scoring for the Flames in the first period, and Chicago's Cam Barker tied it in the second.
Mike Cammalleri gave Calgary a 2-1 lead about 4 minutes into the final period when he scored on a 2-on-1 break, taking a nice pass from Dmond Langkow.
After tying it up late in regulation, Havat drove a wrist shot past Miiikka Kiprusoff from between the circles to match the third-fastest overtime goal in playoff history, and send the towel-wave crowd at the United Center into a frenzy.
Game 2 is Saturday night in Chicago.
Havlat was 3 seconds off the NHL record of 9 seconds set by Brian Skrudland for Montreal in 3-2 victory over Calgary on May 18.
1986, in the Stanley Cup finals. J.P.
Parise of the Islanders scored in 11
seconds of OT against the Rangers
in 1975, and Chicago's Pit Martin
also scored at 12 seconds in 1972.
Kipruson finished with 25 saves, including one on Dave Bolland to
preserve the tie in the closing seconds of regulation. Chicago's Nikolai Khabilouin, who has a 22-5-2 regular-season record against the Flames and beat them in the 2004 Stanley Cup finals while with Tampa Bay, made 23 stops.
TEXAS TECH (16-23)
PITCHING
Sophomore right-hander Chad Bettis worked his way into the
weekend rotation earlier this season, and it paid dividends Sunday when he silenced Oklahoma's offense, which had produced the most runs in the conference. Bettis worked a complete game and the held The Sooners to season lows in runs (one) and hits (four). He will likely start Sunday against Kansas' Lee Ridenhour.

Rookie coach Dan Spencer has gotten comfortable with his team since conference play began. After starting 9-15, the Raiders have faced some of the top teams in the country in conference, but have held their own and managed a 7-8 record in the Big 12, with a big series win against Texas A&M two weeks ago.

caught by the first baseman, so he's late to the bag," coach Ritch Price said. "We work on it everyday and you just have to learn from your mistakes."
But that wasn't to say the Kansas division hasn't had its fair share of spectacular plays. Robby Price and Narodowski have been involved in 26 double plays. They turned one on Tuesday that could have been shown on ESPN Baseball Tonight's Web Gems, if it highlighted college baseball instead of the MLB.
"That was awesome, that was a lot of fun," Price said with a smile.
Not too many teams can say they are successful when they produce multiple errors. Kansas is no different. The layhawks' record when they commit two or more errors is 4-5.
However, Robby Price isn't too concerned with the defense this weekend. "We'll be alright, we'll come back this weekend and play like we have all year," he said.
Defense is the reason why freshman Jason Brunansky has seen so much time in center field. Brunansky has committed only three errors in the toughest part of the outfield to play. His speed enables him to take away potential hits.
This will be Kansas' first Big 12 road series since March 27, making the pressure on the Jayhawk defense even more intense. Kansas is only 3-7 in road games this year and hasn't won a Big 12 game on the road yet.
Ritch Price specifically mentioned his catch in the seventh against Creighton. Not making that catch could have made the inning a lot worse for the lajawhacks.
"They had a leadoff double and the next guy hammered a ball over Brunansky's head and he makes the great backhand catch in center field and takes a double off the board," Price said. "Literally, they could have had back-to-back doubles and nobody out."
"Our pitching and defense has been there all year, one inning is not going to affect what we do behind them," Robby Price said. "We just got to keep bringing those bats and hopefully it turns out well this weekend."

It seems nothing can stop Kansas right now. The team is rolling with a six-game winning streak and is playing its first weekend series against an unranked team in about six weeks. Coach Ritch Price, however, won't let his team sleepwalk in Lubbock, Texas. A sweep against the Red Raiders, which is very possible, would give Kansas 10 Big 12 wins, the fourth highest number of wins in the Ritch Price era.

Several Kansas runners left Thursday's "distance carnival" with the prizes they'd vied for. Four runners took first and others gave solid performances in their events, which included 800- to 10,000-meter runs.
Bonds took first in the women's unseeded 800 event, running it in 2:11.67.
"It's always fun to run at Memorial Stadium," junior Lauren Bonds said.
She may have been shy of her season-best time, but Bonds said the race was good preparation for her main event on Saturday, the 1,500-meter run.
In the women's 5,000-meter run, sophomore Amanda Miller got the victory with a time of 17:24.15.
"It was good for today, but I wanted something better," Bonds said.
"This was good preparation; it's my first 5K of the season. Hopefully I go out at Drake and regionally qualify," Miller said.
Last year, Miller took fifth in the event coming off an injury from the indoor season. Miller said having another year of experience helped her to get first this year.
Junior Kellie Schneider and sophomore Kara Windisch won the 1,500-meter and 3,000-meter runs, respectively.

The two employed some healthy competition to edge into the top three.
In the men's 5,000-meter run, freshman Donny Wasinger took second, recording a time of 14.34.11 and junior Bret Imgrout took third with 14:40.08.
"Brett was running really hard and I was running really hard and we kept switching off helping each other." Wasinger said.

For Wasinger it was his first time running a 5K on a track and he was impressed with his performance.
"In high school we did 5K's on a cross country course and today I ran a minute and 20 seconds faster, so it was a pretty good run," Wasinger said.
Like Bonds, Wasinger will also be competing in the 1500-meter run on Saturday. He said he would feel a lot more pressure Saturday than he did running the 5K.
And as for the "carnival" as a whole?
"It was just as fun as an actual carnival," Wasinger joked.

Team to take momentum to Texas
BY TOM POWERS
tpowers@kansan.com
Fresh off of their first two game series sweep on Tuesday against UMKC, the layhawks return to action this weekend. Playing another two-game series, this time they'll square off against the No. 24 Texas Longhorns.
Riding a three-game winning streak, their longest of the season, the Jayhawks (16-23, 4-6) travel down to Austin today to play a single game at 1 p.m. Saturday, and another at noon Sunday, Kansas.
4-6 in the Big 12 Conference, has an opportunity to get back to .500 with a pair of victories.
"We really just need to work on our mental game, that's what kills us," Liz Kocan, sophomore right fielder, said. "This season
it seems like one game we're going right at our opponents and the next we're flat."

Loryn Johnson (.423) who leads the Big 12 in hits (60).
After Thursday's practice, Bunge talked about what the jawhaws
will need to do strategically against such a well-balanced lineup.
"Texas is a much better offensive team this year than last year. They've got more pop in their bats and have one of the most consistent hitters in softball in Loryn Johnson," she said. "We need to
keep the ball low and make them hit pitcher's pitches."
Kocon (.290), 22 RBIs) is one of the leaders of a resurgent Kansas offense that also includes third basemain Val Chapelle (.318, 8 doubles) center fielder Dougie McCaulley (.311, 25
runs) and utility player Allie Clark (.267, 5 HR, 22 RBI, 8 doubles). In the outfield, the jayhawks have played tight defense, committing only one error in their three-game winning streak.

Out of the circle, Sarah Vertellak pitched phenomenally in her last two outings. In eight innings, she pitched 11 strikeouts, giving up no runs on only three hits and

The Texas pitching staff is led by sophomore Brittany Barnhill (20-9), who's posted a 2.73 ERA so far this season.
Last year, Kansas was able to put up three runs in four
innings against Barnhill in an 8-1 victory.
"Barnhill has improved a lot since her freshman year," Bunge said. "She stays around the plate and I've told our hitters to not be overly aggressive, we can't chase and we've got to hit good pitches."

Fans in the sellout crowd of 48,271 and players alike bubbled about unprecedented amenities on a picture-perfect sunny afternoon. New York's hitters then fizzled and its bullpup came apart in the formal debut of the new Yankee Stadium, a $1.5 billion monument to the Yankees' wealth and power.

"It felt like we disappointed quite a few people today," Johnny Damon said.
NEW YORK — Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and other stars from the New York Yankees' famous pint-striped past would have been embarrassed.
After an 85-year run in a stadium that was home to 26 World Series champions, the Yankees opened baseball's fanciest and priest ballpark Thursday with a humiliating 10-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians.
The opening of the new house drew a celebrity-filled crowd that wasn't happy with the result.
On April 18, 1923, Ruth homered at New York opened the original Yankee Stadium with a 4-1 win over the Boston Red Sox. The ballpark, built for $2.5 million and considered grand at the time, quickly was dabbed "The House that Ruth Built."

taunted the Yankees with chants of,
"We want Swisher!"
Cleveland, whose only Series titles were won in 1920 and 1948, enjoyed its accomplishment against a superpower whose $201 million payroll dwarfs the $82 million the Indians spent.
"It's not how you want to start a new stadium, but one game is not going to make the history of this Yankee Stadium," manager Joe Girardi said.
"I'm going to remember the homerun, no question about it, but right now it's a little disappointing." Posada said.
CC Sabathia, pitching in pinstripes for the first time since signing a $161 million, seven-year contract, allowed an RBI double to Kelly Shoppach in the fourth just after third baseman Cody Ransom threw out Peralta at the plate on Ben Francisco's grounder. Sabathia left 5/2/3 innings in his first start against his former team.

United Students fined $350
BY BRIANNE PFANNENSTIEL
bpfannenstiel@kansan.com
Though the Student Senate elections ended Thursday, the complaints continued among coalitions as the elections commission hearing board met Sunday night to hear multiple charges filed against United Students.
Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va., junior and former Envision vicepresidential candidate, filed four violations against United Students last week. Two of the four charges were dismissed by the hearing board and the remaining two
resulted in a total of $350 in fines for United Students.
"I wanted to have the elections commission know that United Students was attempting to steal and hijack the election," Porte said. "That was my main goal for filing the violations."
The first complaint claimed several United Students members had purchased a keg at The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., and were urging students to take free beer and then vote for United Students on laptops that were present.
In the complaint, Porte said this was a violation of the election code, which states that no candidate is
permitted to view a computer screen while a student is voting on that computer. The code also states
that candidates are not allowed to knowingly campaign or communicate with anyone in the process of voting.
Two students testified that they had seen United Students members, with

Event to discuss female orgasms
Educator presents for SUA on sex's pleasurable side

Whether you're straight, gay, lesbian or bisexual, Marshall Miller thinks he can tell you a thing or two about the female orgasm.
Miller, a sex educator from Albany, N.Y., travels around the country with his wife, Dorian Solot, and fellow sex educator Melissa Lopez to discuss sex topics. Miller and Lopez will be presenting their program "I Heart Female Orgasm" at 7 tonight in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
"Students are sometimes surprised that we really cover it all," Miller said. "The G-spot,
multiple orgasms, how to have your first orgasm, how to help your girlfriend — and it's really funny too."

"That's pretty sad, given that pleasure is a core part of sex for most people," he said.
Miller organized the program, when he and his wife visited campuses to talk about sex and received an overwhelming number of questions about orgasms.
"It ites like people are starving for honest, down-to-earth information," Miller said. "Not the impossible acrobatic sex positions you see in magazines."
The "I Heart Female Orgasm" program addresses how to make healthy sexual decisions and covers a variety of subjects related to female anatomy, media messages and societal pressures about having orgasms.
"Orgasms are probably part of your life, or will be in the future, and we'll have tips for you," Miller said.

Will be homeless for food and funds
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
As rain fell early Sunday morning, six members of Tau Kappa Epsilon sat inside a makeshift cardboard shelter listening to music, drawing on the walls and chatting with each other. It was their way of raising awareness of homelessness.
From noon Friday to noon Sunday, 26 members of Tau Kappa Epsilon accepted food and monetary donations while staying in a cardboard shelter they built outside of the Hy-Vee at Kasold and Clinton Parkway.
Kris Nielsen, Leawood junior and Tau Kappa Epsilon member, said they received approximately 500 cans of food and $400 in donations. The food and money will go to Harvesters and the Lawrence Community Shelter.
Nielsen said the fraternity had never done a project like this and was happy with the turnout. He said the fraternity would probably hold the event every semester. Members took eight- to nine-hour shifts staying in the box, with five or six people on each shift.
"After being in there for eight or nine hours, it started setting in there was nothing to do," Nielsen

were victims of battery.
The victims and suspect approached each other in the restaurant's parking lot after the victims' vehicle was bumped in the drive-thru lane by the suspect.
The suspect got out of his car and punched and knocked to the ground the first victim, a 24-year-old male student, according to a statement from Capt. Paul Fellers Sunday morning.
The suspect then removed a handgun from the waistband of his pants and hit the second victim, a 19-year-old female student, in the face.
The suspect fired one shot "in close proximity to the victims," Fellers said, but did not shoot either victim. He then fled the

1. Reconstruction could fund organized crime
ROME — Even before all the debris from Italy's latest earthquake is cleaned up, investigators fear that organized crime is poised to profit from contracts worth billions of dollars to rebuild schools, hospitals, court houses and homes.
The crime clans have many connections to businesses that could infiltrate the reconstruction process, warned an Italian official.

BAGHDAD — Iraq created a military task force Sunday to battle gangland-style crime after the latest bloodshed: gunmen

He wore a T-short emblazoned with the face of Jacob Zuma, the party's popular presidential candidate.
The swift government response to the robberies appeared to reflect worries by Iraqi officials about a rise in violence in recent weeks and their efforts to display a tough stance.

Relocation doesn't detract from reduce, reuse message
BY KEVIN HARDY khardy@kansan.com
Several hundred students and community members gathered Sunday in the Kansas Union for free food, live music and lessons in sustainable living.
The event "Potter Lake Unplugged", originally planned to take place next to Potter Lake, was held in the ballroom of the Kansas Union because of forecasted rain. The Student Union Activities-sponsored event promoted awareness of environmental issues.
The event was part of "From Blue to Green: Conserve KU", an umbrella organization for the University's environmental groups. Tyler Enders,
Leawood sophomore, led the effort of collaborating with several campus environmental groups. Enders said the organization was able to orchestrate 26 different events in the 12 days leading up to Earth Day on April 22.
"We sat down and started throwing out every idea possible, and didn't say no to anything," Enders said.
Enders said many KU students wanted to be more environmentally conscious, but either didn't know how to or were sometimes deterred by inconvenience.
"A lot of people want to recycle their can of Coke, but they don't see a recycling bin around. So their intentions are the infrastructure, but you're still confined by the infrastructure."
Enders said. "So we want to address that at the policy level and fix the infrastructure."
Doug Brady, Tecumseh sophomore and SUA member, said members of SUA planned the event several months ago to showcase ways that individuals could make less of an environmental impact. Brady said SUA was working with the Unions and KU Dining Services to operate more efficiently.
"The whole event is really pushing buying locally and sustainability," Brady said.
In addition to free live music, about a dozen student groups and companies were present to tell students how to make less of an environmental impact. SUA gave away potted plants, canvas grocery bags
"It's a great opportunity to learn what's going on and see how to get involved." Brady said.
and energy-efficient light bulbs.
"I appreciate the diversity or groups that are out teaching different ways to live efficiently and with a smaller impact," Oxley said.
Brylie Oxley, Overland Park freshman, said he heard about the event through his roommates and came to learn how to live a greener life.
Local artists Truckstop Honeymoon, Rusty Scott and Hidden Pictures performed at the event. SUA used a biodiesel generator to power the bands' amplifiers. Brady said the bands were supportive of the cause.
"I think they were willing to
accept less money than normal because it's something they care about," Brady said.
"I was surprised that so many people showed up. It was really cool." Dreesman said.
Melinda Dreesman, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, attended the event for all the free giveaways. She said it was worthwhile because she learned ways to reduce her environmental impact.
Neil Steiner, Tulsa, Okla., senior, showcased the work of the Student Rain Garden, currently under construction at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. The group built a collection system to capture and move rain water from the roof to the garden surrounding the recreation center. The group
will plant 22 species of native plants, 2500 plants total.
Steiner said the group hoped to build more collection systems at local restaurants and community buildings. The garden will officially open April 22, with volunteers planting from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"It's kind of an unprecedented thing with student involvement and sustainability on campus." Steiner said.
Enders said that environmental issues would still be important after Earth Day and that environmental groups would continue to promote awareness and education.
"I think this is best described as a movement." Enders said.

Wal-Mart falls to No. 2 this year,38 companies drop off list and overall earnings plunge from $645B to $98.9B
A customer pumps gas at an Exxon station in Middleton, Mass. Exxon Mobil has unseated Wal-Mart Stores to top the 2009 Fortune 500 list after a year the magazine called the worst ever for the country's 500 largest publicly traded companies. Fortune released the list on Sunday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY DAN STRUMPF Associated Press
NEW YORK - Exxon Mobil Corp, unseated Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in the 2009 Fortune 500 list, shrugging off the oil price bubble and weathering what the magazine called the worst year ever for the country's largest publicly traded companies.
Fortune's closely watched list, released Sunday, ranked companies by their revenues in 2008. Irving, Texas-based Exxon took in $442.85 billion in revenue last year, up almost 19 percent from 2007. The company also raked in the biggest annual profit, earning $45.2 billion.
Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart had held the top spot for six of the last seven years but fell to No. 2 this year. Still, the retail giant's 2008 revenue climbed 7 percent to $405.6 billion, as the battered economy sent more consumers searching for bargains. The world's largest retailer took in $13.4 billion in annual profit, an
increase of about 5 percent
Although it may have been a good year for Exxon and Wal-Mart, 2008 was far from rosy for most of remaining companies on the list. Overall earnings plunged 85 percent to $98.9 billion from $645 billion in 2007, the biggest one-year decline in the 55-year history of the Fortune 500 list.
"America is getting used to the sound of bubbles bursting," Fortune said.
Energy companies continued to dominate many of the top positions, as last summer's skyrocketing oil and gas prices more than compensated for their plunge later that fall. Chevron Corp. held on to third place with $263.16 billion in revenue, up 25 percent. ConocoPhillips climbed one place to fourth, with $230.76 billion in revenue.
sixth, as revenue fell 18 percent and losses totaled $30.86 billion amid the imploding car market. Crosstown rival Ford Motor Co. followed, with $146.28 billion in revenue.
General Electric Co., the diverse conglomerate whose troubled financial arm has been weighing on recent results, rose one notch to fifth. Battered automaker General Motors Corp. fell two spots to
Telecom giant AT&T Inc. moved up two notches to take eighth place, with Hewlett-Packard Co. and Valero Energy Corp. rounding out the top 10.
Among the hardest hit in 2008 were financial services companies, Fortune said. Banks, securities firms and insurers took cumulative losses of $213.4 billion, accounting for almost 70 percent of the total dollar decline from the peak year of 2006, the magazine said. Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp., which were No. 8 and No. 9 respectively last year, each slipped a couple notches from the Top 10.
Thirty-eight companies fell off this year's list, including financial firms Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Washington Mutual Inc.
to No. 264. But the title of "biggest loser" went to AIG Corp. The insurer, which has received more than $180 billion in government bailout aid since last fall, fell 232 spots to 245 in this year's ranking.
and Wachovia Corp., all of which have either gone under or been acquired by rival banks.
Engineering and construction company URS Corp. moved the most up the list, leaping 185 spots
SPEAKER KU alumnus to discuss global warming issues
Shane Haas, a KU alumnus who earned four degrees in six years, will give a talk titled, "Carbon and Calculus: Is It Getting Hot in Here?" at 4:30 in 120 Snow Hall. The talk will be free and open to the public.
The discussion is part of Mathematics Awareness Month's colloquium for under-graduate students. Topics that Haas will discuss include: how the greenhouse effect works, how cold the Earth would be without an atmosphere and who or what is to blame for the warming of the Earth.
Bozena Pasik-Duncan, who was Haas's academic advisor and is chairperson of Mathematics Awareness Month, said he was a remarkable speaker with a keen understanding on a broad range of topics.
"He will show students how important math is;" Pasik-Duncan said. "He will motivate them to study science and math."
Haas grew up in Wellsville and is currently a proprietary trader for Goldman Sachs.

Voters few and far between in Haitian election
eans
BY JONATHAN M. KATZ
Associated Press
Electoral workers look through a list of voters during Senate elections at a polling station in Cite Soleil in Port-au-Prince, Sunday. Turnout for the election was extremely low.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Clear plastic ballot boxes were nearly as empty as Port-au-Prince's unusually deserted streets Sunday as few voters turned out for Senate elections in which candidates from a major populist party were not allowed to run.
But the vote, delayed since 2007 by political turmoil, hunger riots and storms, drew an extremely low turnout and occasional violence. Haiti's provisional electoral council told reporters it had not calculated turnout or any results as of early evening.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The vote had been seen as a key step in the development of Haitian democracy and in President Rene Preval's bid to retool the constitution and fight poverty. The international community gave Haiti's government $12.5 million to coordinate the elections, including $3 million from the U.S.
Others said they had trouble reaching the polls because police had ordered public transportation closed in an attempt to preserve order.
Supporters of ousted former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, whose Fanni Lavals party was disqualified from the election by Haitis provisional electoral council, had urged an estimated 4 million registered voters not to participate.
On Sunday, poll workers napped during long stretches when no voters came by. Some would be voters carrying government-issued registration cards said they had been turned away by poll workers who said their names were not on registration lists.

how interested people are in an election," said Edward Joseph, an observer with the Haiti Democracy Project, a Washington-based think tank. He said apathy or fear of election violence could be to blame.

"Since I've lived in Cite Soleil, nobody has come through for us. We don't trust anyone. We are we
going to vote for?" said Fritznor Remedor, a native of the oceanside slum who directs a U.S.-supported orphanage at the site of a former gang stronghold.
Calm generally reigned during the vote. While past elections have occasioned massacres and riots, Sunday's carless streets were
instead occupied by young men and boys playing dozens of pick-up soccer games.
But there were several violent incidents. Elections were canceled in the Central Department, one

where other Lespai supporters threw rocks at the building.
They were released after their candidate, former Lavalas organizer and Cite Soleil native John Joel Joseph, visited the station. Guillaume was held without charges for about an hour and released.
Shortly after returning from the Summit of the Americas in Trinidad, Preval dropped his vote into a nearly empty clear plastic ballot box at a school in the capital. If his candidates win, Preval could see his economic projects and constitutional reform pass congress, where his Lespwa party already holds six of 18 Senate seats.
A majority for Lespwa would help Preval win a long-sought reform of Haiti's 1987 constitution, increasing executive powers and allowing presidents to seek consecutive five-year terms. It would also build support for his economic programs, meant to relieve poverty in a nation where 80 percent of people live on less than $2 a day.

The commission said the elections code currently did not hold candidates liable for the actions of the coalition as a whole and he recommended that the code be changed before next year's election.
"It makes you look like a bunch of schmucks and you should be held accountable," Knutzen said to Heilman and Davis following the commission's decision. "I think the code should say you should be held liable, but it doesn't."
The commission heard two additional complaints regarding mass e-mails that were sent by Heilman and senator Darrell
Stuckey, Kansas City, Kan., senior promoting themselves and their platforms.
The commission unanimously found Heilman guilty of using an academic listserv to promote the election of a candidate. He was fined $250.

Although Nielsen said the project helped fraternity members understand what life was like without a home, he said it wasn't close to actually experiencing homelessness. The shelter had a rain tarp to keep them from getting wet, electricity and lawn chairs for members to sit on while they talked and listened to music inside.
"We get to relax and listen to some music," Matt Geier, Garden City senior and Tau Kappa Epsilon member, said. "We're a little more well off than the homeless considering we have an iPod."
Stephen Elder, case manager and monitor at the Lawrence Community Shelter, said the shelter was thankful for any kind of help it received. He said the shelter didn't receive much federal funding, so it relied on donations and volunteer work from the community. He said the fraternity's method of fundraising was helpful, if untraditional.
Tau Kappa Epsilon contacted Hy-Vee about building the shelter and taking donations outside the store.
Scott Kahler, Hy-Vee general manager, said the store agreed to help the fraternity because it was working for a good cause. He said he was concerned about the event in the beginning, but customers were very receptive to the project. Greir said the fraternity didn't want to depend on the greek or KU community for the project, but instead involve the entire Lawrence community.
“Anything that anybody does to get the awareness up is a good thing.” Elder said. “Even if it seems a little silly, it works.”
"People were just thanking us," Nielsen said. "But we were like 'Really, no. Thank you for what you're giving."

Birth control prices could go down for students
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
lhendrick@kansan.com
Right now, NuvaRing costs $54, a price uninsured students are often unable to pay, Cathy Thrasher, Watkins Memorial Health Center pharmacist, remembers when students could buy the alternative form of contraception for less than $20 without insurance. With President Barack Obama's approval of the Omnibus Appropriations Bill on March 11, drug manufacturers can restore discounted contraception prices.
The Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 cut clinic packaging
of contraception beginning in 2006. But with the assistance of the new law signed by Obama last month, health clinics that cater to universities may see the return of discounted contraceptives.
The new law has health providers like Thrasher scrambling to restore affordable contraceptive options. Thrasher said manufacturers offered clinic packages, different from retail packages, so women could sample different birth control options for a reduced price.
Brands like NuvaRing and Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo were no longer offered at discounted prices to uninsured students after the Federal Deficit Reduction Act.
Thrasher said Watkins
administrators were drafting a letter to send to manufacturers and hoped that students would help create
awareness about the importance of restoring affordable contraception. She said a student petition might help push the cause.

night her birth control from Planned Parenthood and went from paying $10 a month to $18 a month after the Federal Deficit Reduction Act was passed.
Higgins was prescribed four different kinds
of birth control after the act was passed because Planned Parenthood couldn't maintain its discounted supplies. After the price of her birth control increased by $8, she realized she could use her
parents' insurance at Watkins to purchase it for less.
Watkins pharmacy didn't see the effects of the Federal Deficit Reduction Act until 2007 when the pharmacy started to run low on its birth control stock. Thrasher said that brand-name birth control used to cost students $8 to $11 a month, but that prices had significantly increased.
Higgins said that Watkins provided affordable birth control options for students by offering generic brands, but that urging manufacturers to offer discounted prices would help a lot of uninsured women.
Patricia Denning, senior staff physician at Watkins, said birth
control manufacturers would have to feel pressure from consumers before they took the necessary steps to reinstate more affordable birth control.
"The crux of it is that it doesn't obligate the manufacturer to offer the discount," Denning said. The Omnibus Appropriations bill only removed the barrier to reinstate contracts with university health clinics.
Students interested in building a campaign to restore affordable contraception should contact Mai Do at Watkins Memorial Health Center at (785) 864-0388.

Oklahoma City bombing's 14th anniversary observed
BY TIM TALLEY Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — It was 14 years ago when Doris Battles' parents were killed in the Oklahoma City bombing, just two of the 168 people who died during the nation's worst domestic terrorist attack.
"I can't go home and see him anymore." Battle said of her father, Calvin Battle, who died with her mother Peola when the Oklahoma City federal building was bombed on April 19, 1995. And Battle said the passage of time had not diminished the loss she still feels.
Battle was among 400 people who gathered Sunday to observe the 14th anniversary of the bombing of the nine-story Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, an attack that also injured hundreds of people. The explosion of a truck loaded with 4,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil tore the face off the building and caused millions of dollars in damage
to other downtown structures.
Timothy McVeigh was executed in 2001 and Terry Nichols is serving multiple life sentences on federal and state convictions for their convictions in the bombing. Prosecutors had said the plot was an attempt to avenge the deaths of about 80 people in the government siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, exactly two years earlier.
Dr. Paul Heath, a retired psychologist with the Veterans Administration and a bombing survivor, attended the ceremony at the bombing memorial, where 168 empty chairs symbolizing the victims sit on a grassy field where the building stood.
"The memory of the bombing is just as clear today as it was the day after the bombing. The memories run just like a video in my head," Heath said, who placed flowers at a granite memorial for survivors.
Retired Marine Staff Sgt. Ted
Krey tied American flags to chairs bearing the names of Sgt. Benjamin LaRanzo Davis and Capt. Randolph A. Guzman, killed in the building's Marine Corps recruiting office.
Richard Williams, the building's former assistant manager, said it was important that survivors and victims' family members remember both victims and rescuers.
"They're fellow brothers. Marines are like that," said Krey, who was part of a rescue team after the bombing and was a few feet away when rescuers pulled Guzman's body out of the rubble.
"We will always do this," said Williams, who was seriously injured in the bombing. "We're going to do something every year."
During the ceremony, the crowd observed 168 seconds of silence and survivors and victims' family members read victims' names at the spot that the Rev. Tom Ogburn of First Baptist Church of Oklahoma City called "holy ground."

Obama visits with Latin American leaders
Just as in Europe, the president said U.S.would listen and not just talk'
BY BEN FELLER Associated Press Writer
President Barack Obama greets Trinidad and Tobago's Prime Minister Patrick Manning before departing the fifth Summit of the Americas in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago Sunday. The summit discussed many topics, including political prisoners in Cuba.
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad — President Barack Obama on Sunday suggested that Cuba release its political prisoners and defended his highly publicized handshakes with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, closing an overseas trip that he said heralded a new start in U.S. ties with
Obama said the exchanges with Cuba and Venezuela provide "an opportunity for frank dialogue on a range of issues, including critical issues of democracy and

of democracy and
human rights throughout the hemisphere." And yet, he quickly added, "the test for all of us is not simply words but also deeds."
"Release the prisoners and we'll talk to you. ... Put up or shut up."
Earlier this week, the Obama administration lifted restrictions on Cuban Americans who want to travel and send money to their island homeland and freed U.S. telecommunications companies
to seek business there.
Hawana responded, saying it was open to talks on issues including human rights — a topic long held off-limits.

He said Venezuela has a defense budget about one-six hundredth the size of the United States' and noted that it owns the oil company Citgo "It's hard to believe we are endangering the strategic interests of the United States" by talking with Chavez, he said.

"We recognize that other countries have good ideas, too, and we want to hear them," he said, adding that the fact that an idea comes "from a small country, like Costa Rica," should not diminish its potential benefit.
"The policy we've had in place for 50 years has not worked. The Cuban people are not free."
Besides the discussion about
BARACK OBAMA U.S. president
Cuba, which was not invited to the summit, his trip was dominated by images of his handshakes with Chavez, the leftist president of Venezuela who once likened President George W. Bush to the devil.
Chavez approached Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the summit and said he was restoring his nation's ambassador in Washington, voicing hopes for a new era in relations.
The Venezuelan leader told reporters he will propose Roy Chaderton, his ambassador to the
Organization of American States, as the country's new representative in a move toward improving strained ties with Washington.
"We ratify our willingness to begin what has started: cementing new relations," Chavez said in remarks broadcast on state television. "We have the very strong willingness to work together."
Chavez, an ally of Cuba, a U.S. nemesis, expelled the U.S. ambassador to Venezuela, Patrick Duddy, in September in solidarity with leftist Bolivian President Evo Morales, who ordered out the top U.S. diplomat in his country.
Obama welcomed the remarks from both Chavez and Cuban President Raul Castro.
Reminded that he had once favored lifting the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, Obama sidestepped.
"The policy we've had in place for 50 years has not worked," he told reporters. "The Cuban people are not free."
He said freedom of speech and freedom of religions are important "and not something to be brushed aside."
In Washington, both Democrats and Republicans said Sunday that they wanted to see actions, not just rhetoric, from Cuba.
"Release the prisoners and we'll talk to you. ... Put up or shut up," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R.S.C.).
"I think we're taking the right steps, and I think the ball is now clearly in Cuba's court," said Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) "They need to respond and say what they're willing to do"
Former Central Intelligence Director Michael Hayden, an official in the Bush administration, expressed caution about any changes in U.S. relations with Venezuela.
"Here's a case where I would watch for behavior, not for rhetoric, and the behavior of President Chavez over the past years has been downright horrendous — both internationally and with regard to what he's done internally inside Venezuela."
Central American leaders who met with Obama said they pressed him on immigration reform. They also said that Obama promised to consider providing better notice before the U.S. deports dangerous criminals back to their nations.
Even Nicaragua President Daniel Ortega, a critic of U.S. policy, said he found Obama receptive to dealing with the issues raised. Ortega said Obama "is the president of an国家 that has rules the president cannot change. Nevertheless, Ortega said, "I want to believe that he's inclined, that's he's got the will."
Yet the summit's final declaration carried just one signatory: the host country's prime minister, Patrick Manning.

Teen to take the stand in Supreme Court Fourth Amendment case
BY ARTHUR H. ROTSTEIN
Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — Savana Redding was 13 years old when she was told to remove her clothes for a strip search by school officials looking for the equivalent of two Adwils. And while the humiliation hasn't diminished in the past five and a half years, she hopes the U.S. Supreme Court can do something about the emotional scar.
The nation's highest court will hear the 19-year-old's case Tuesday against Safford Middle School officials who searched her for prescription-strength ibuprofen pills that a fellow student accused her of having.
"I'm never going to be able to forget about this," says Redding, a college freshman living in her hometown of Safford in rural eastern Arizona. "I'll think about it constantly, but I don't think it'll be as big a burden."
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether school officials violated the Fourth
Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches. Among the questions to be resolved are whether they had reasonable grounds to believe Redding was hiding pills and whether the pills posed a public health threat serious enough to justify a strip search.
If the court finds the search was unconstitutional, it will have to decide whether school officials can be held financially liable by determining whether it should have been clear to them in October 2003 that the search was illegal.
"Strip searches of children produce trauma similar in kind and degree to sexual abuse," said Adam Wolf, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney representing Redding. "For Savana, she thinks about this event every day, has trust issues with her peers and adults ... The search has radically altered her life."
A federal magistrate had dismissed the lawsuit Redding and her mother brought, and a federal appeals panel agreed that the search didn't violate her rights. But last July, a full panel of the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals found the search was "an invasion of constitutional rights."
The court also said vice principal Kerry Wilson could be found personally liable. The Safford Unified School District appealed to the Supreme Court.
The district bans prescription and over-the-counter drugs. A schoolmate had accused Redding, then an eighth-grade honor student, of giving her pills, and Wilson took Redding to his office to search her backpack.
Redding said Wilson ordered her to go with a secretary to the nurse's office where "they asked me to take off my shirt and pants." She said they then told her to move her bra to the side and to stretch her underwear waistband, exposing her breasts and pelvic area.
Redding said she didn't refuse because "I'm one of those kids who does what they're told."
"I was panicky, but I didn't want them to know," Redding said. "I just wanted to get out of there."
No pills were found.

The 19-year-old hopes a Supreme Court hearing on Tuesday will ease the pain she feels from an event in eight grade that so clouded much of her life and set strict guidelines for school administrators. The court will hear arguments on whether Safford Middle School officials violated the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches.

Columbine survivors recall shooting 10 years later
BY SANDY SHORE Associated Press
LITTLETON, Colo. — The "boy in the window" — who fell bloody and paralyzed into the arms of rescuers during the horrifying Columbine High shooting rampage — is doing just fine.
Like Ireland, many survivors of the April 20,1999, massacre have moved on to careers in education, medicine, ministry and retail.
Now 27, Patrick Ireland has regained mobility with few lingering effects from gunshot wounds to his head and leg a decade ago. He is married and works in the financial services industry. His mantra: "I choose to be a victor rather than a victim."
But emotional scars still can trig
ger anxiety, nightmares and deeply etched recollections of gunfire, blood and bodies.
Some have travel books; a few travel the world to share their experiences to help victims of violence.
"People have been able to have 10 years to reconcile what happened and see what fits in their life and who they are," said Kristi Mohlbacher of Littleton, who fled Columbine as the gunfire erupted. "It's kind of a part of who I am today. I think my priorities might be a little bit different if I hadn't had that experience."
Just after 11 a.m. on that day, Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, stormed the suburban school, killing 12 classmates and a teacher and about two dozen.
Sean Graves saw the pair loading weapons in a parking lot and thought they were preparing a senior prank with paintball guns.
Graves, Lance Kirklin and Daniel Rohrbough were walking toward them for a better look when the gunmen opened fire, killing Rachel Scott and Rohrbough and critically wounding Graves and others.
In the second-floor library, Ireland was about to finish some homework when he heard pipe bombs exploding in the hallway. Debris fell from the ceiling and a teacher told students to take cover.
Klebold and Harris strode in, shouted for students to stand up, laughing and ridiculing classmates as they sprayed bullets.
Ireland was under a table with Dan Steepleton and Makai Hall when they were shot in the knees.
Ireland was shot twice in the head and once in a leg, and lost consciousness.
The killers shot out a library window. Graves, lying partially paralyzed on a sidewalk below, worried that they would return. He smeared blood from his neck wound on his face and the ground to make it appear he was dead.
Harris and Klebold killed 10 students in the library before they left to reload, which gave some a chance to flee. Steepleton and Hall tried to pull Ireland but couldn't move him far before they fled for safety.
Shortly before noon, the gunmen returned to the library and committed suicide.
Ireland awoke some time later his vision blurred. With fire alarms sounding and strobe lights flashing,
the partially paralyzed teen began to push himself toward the bullet-shattered window.
"I thought how much easier it would be just to give up, stay there and let somebody come get you or whatever would happen to you," Ireland said.
Over the next three hours, he pulled his body along, lost and regained consciousness, then moved again through tables and chairs and past classmates bodies. He figures he traveled about 50 feet to the window.
"But every time those thoughts came in my mind, I thought about all the people that I would be giving up on. ... It was really the friends and family I would be letting down that kept me going."
Ireland pushed himself up to
the window and got the attention of SWAT teams below. He doesn't recall flopping over the sill and dropping into the arms of rescuers, the image that grabbed the attention of TV viewers nationwide.
Graves, now 25, moved into a suburb near the mountains, where he recently purchased a home with his fiancee, Kara DeHart, 22. He walks with a limp and still feels pain but keeps a positive attitude. He plans to return to college to pursue a career in forensics science, a path that began to interest him after Columbine.
Ireland recognizes he'll be remembered as the face of Columbine because of his dramatic rescue. He accepts it as a way to emphasize that Columbine should stand for "hope and courage."

Chan's comments draw anger in native country
Associated Press
BY MIN LEE
Chan told a business forum in
HONG KONG — Action star Jackie Chan's comments wondering whether Chinese people "need to be controlled" have drawn sharp rebuke in his native Hong Kong and in Taiwan.
south China that a free society may not be beneficial for China's authoritarian mainland.
Chan
ROCKY JACKSON
"I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not" Chan said
Saturday, "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want."
"He's insulted the Chinese people. Chinese people aren't pets" Hong Kong pro-democracy legislator Leung Kwok-hung told the Associated Press. "Chinese society needs a democratic system to protect human rights and rule of law"
Chan's comments drew applause from a predominantly Chinese audience of business leaders, but did not sit well with lawmakers in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Another lawmaker, Albert Ho,
called the comments "racist."
He went on to say that freedoms in Hong Kong and Taiwan made those societies "chaotic"
Former British colony Hong Kong enjoys Western-style civil liberties and some democratic elections under Chinese rule. Half of its 60-member legislature is elected, with the other half picked by special interest groups. But Hong Kong's leader is chosen by a panel stacked with Beijing loyalists.

Senate reduced impact of fee cuts for students
After a long evaluation and assessment process, the University Student
Specifically, Senate dramatically cut the campus
Senate met April 8 to finalize next year's budget and to decide which programs would have to be cut in order to avoid a substantial increase in student fees next year.
There had been considerable debate about which fee cuts would have the smallest impact on students' lives, and the final budget more or less succeeds in limiting the loss of student positions and important services. The Senate should be applauded for its good-faith effort to realize this goal.

campus fees each student pays will increase from $414.70 to $423.35 next semester.
Michael Wade Smith. Goodland sophomore and technology and advertisement director for Student Senate, was a member of the fee review subcommittee and said Student Senate, its finance committee and its executive staff had a few goals in mind while looking into the recommended fee cuts.
"Our goals were to make sure people's lives weren't affected," Wade Smith said. "We tried to make sure as many student positions stayed in tact and to make sure services stayed at the same level as last year."
KANSAN'S OPINION
the student recreation fee, the Senate had to determine which fees could bear the expense of these adjustments; it was a long process.
It's inevitable to see some fees affected by these cuts. In order to allocate money that was needed for fees such as the student health fee and
There were concerns about the decrease or removal of certain fees that would significantly affect programs that are beneficial to students and faculty. The
decrease in the educational opportunity fee will hinder the amount of scholarships given out to students.
lake Lerman, Chicago junior and journalism student, said he knew the fee cuts needed to happen but had reservations about what was going to be cut, specifically the student media fee
"I didn't want to see strong organizations like The Daily Kansan and KJHK be affected by these cuts." Lerman said. "The student media fee is one that is important for our school and is central in the lives of students here"
Lerman said he thought Student Senate did the best it could with what it had and was glad to see it maintained many services.
Wade Smith said the student media fee was not affected. Finance took 25 cents out the student readership fee in order to prevent cuts to services provided by student media.
"I think it's sad, in times when we hurt for money, that we have to start cutting fees," Wade Smith said. "It's going to hurt, but we'll get through it."

THE CONTEXT
CAMPUS
Conceal and carry on campus would be needless, dangerous
Ten years ago two students entered Columbine High School in Littleton.
High School in Littleton, Colo., armed with weapons. The students went on a shooting rampage, killing 13 people and wounding 23 others. Unfortunately April 20, 1999, did not mark the end of such tragedies. Thirty three people lost their lives at Virginia Tech in April 2007, five were killed at Northern Illinois in February 2008, and more recently a gunman opened fire in Binghamton, N.Y., killing 14.
These horrible acts of violence may seem states away but recently a Student Senate debate was canceled because of violent threats. In light of such events, membership for the nonprofit organization Students For Concealed Carry on Campus has been rapidly increasing across the country, according to a Feb. 16 Newsweek article. Yet despite concern about the shootings in the United States, a conceal and carry law is not needed at the University.
When acts of violence are committed, advocates for conceal and carry often speak out. Many subscribe to the notion that such violence could have been prevented if others were permitted to carry firearms. Advocates argue that a gunman would be less likely to shoot if he thought he would be shot at in return. The gunmen at Columbine, Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois, and Binghamton, however, all killed themselves. A gunman on a shooting rampage may not fear for his own life while committing murder.
Although the process to obtain a conceal and carry permit is lengthy, it does not adequately prepare gun owners to respond to crises. In order to obtain a conceal and carry license in Kansas, an individual must agree to a background check, attend an eight-hour training course and
CAMPUS CONNECTIONS

BROWN
Concealed weapons should be permitted on a college campus only if a real need exists for them. If students fear for their lives daily and feel the need to protect themselves, then a conceal and carry law is necessary. But at the University we are not under a daily threat. Students have no need to bring firearms to class. Allowing concealed weapons might make the owner of the weapon feel safer, but it will not make campus safer as a whole. Instead, perhaps the University should focus on preventing other, more widespread threats to students, such as binge drinking.
The violent shootings at Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois were horrible and devastating; however, students should be aware that such rampages are not common and do not represent a broader trend among college campuses. According to USA Today, 43 students were murdered on a college campus between 2001 and 2005. This is a rate of less than 10 students per year when nearly 20 million attend college annually.

U.S. currency no longer cool
With the economy collapsing around us and the end of all life one Dow Jones-quake away, it's important to keep our wits about us. I'm going to explain, as simply as possible, why tuition is going up, why you can't find a job and why housing values are quickly matching the cost of firewood. It's because our money is not cool right now.
Money isn't real, and it certainly isn't cool. How does this affect our very real access to Ramen and fast food? It all goes back to pogs.
Pogs, a game involving colorful
Money is a fabricated concept. If you don't follow this, don't feel bad — here's an experiment to help you out. Tear out my article, write "a jillion dollars" on it, and see whether the economy gets better. Didn't work, did it? But when the government does that, except with nicer papers and inks, it may very well work. We hope.
pieces of cheap cardboard, were cool in the 90s. If you weren't alive in the 90s, you probably don't remember how cool it was to knock those little cardboard discs around, treasuring each and every victory and the resulting rise in self worth. But suddenly, something tragic happened — pogs weren't cool anymore!
Somewhere, some Patient Zero child woke up one morning, looked at the cardboard circles littering his room, and said, "Nuts to this. I'm getting into Pokemon." Soon, a magic yellow rat-monster and his abusive owner were all the rage, leaving those of us with vast collections of pogs scrambling to unload before the market tanked.
Our money spontaneously stopped being cool in September 2008. Somewhere, someone woke up and went, "Hey! We're selling lies and painted cardboard!" Everyone else tried to shush him, but it was too late — the market began to globally spiral into the deadly disco zone of totally-not-coolness.

U.S. boycotts U.N. racism conference
BY BRADLEY S. KLAPPER
Associated Press Writer
GENEVA — The United Nations opens its first global racism conference in eight years on Monday with the U.S. and at least five other countries boycotting the event out of concern that Islamic countries will demand that it denounce Israel and ban criticism of Islam.
The administration of President Barack Obama. America's first
black head of state, announced Saturday that it would boycott "with regret" the weeklong meeting in Geneva, which already is experiencing much of the bickering and political infighting that marred the
2001 conference in Durban, South Africa.
The Netherlands declared its boycott Sunday, while Australia, Canada, Israel and Italy already have said they would not attend.
"I am shocked and deeply disappointed by the United States' decision not to attend."
But he said the language of the U.N's draft declaration "raised a whole set of objectionable provisions" and risked a reprise of Durban, "which became a session through which folks expressed antagonism toward Israel in ways that were oftentimes completely hypcritical and counterproductive."
Obama said in Trinidad on Sunday after attending the Summit of the Americas.
"I would love to be involved in a useful conference that addressed continuing issues of racism and discrimination around the globe,"
NAVI PILLAY U.N. human rights chief
"We expressed in the run-up to this conference our concerns that if you adopted all of the language from 2001, that's not something we can sign up for," Obama said.
Some European countries are still deciding whether to
attend the U.N. conference.
U. N. spokesman Rupert Colville said Germany informed the global body on Sunday that it would boycott it. In Berlin, the German Foreign Ministry refused to confirm that, but said the government would announce its final decision on Sunday night.
Britain said it will send diplomats, despite concerns the meeting could become a forum for Holocaust denial or anti-Semitic attacks.
At the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI said the conference was needed to eliminate racial intolerance around the world. Asia News, a Catholic news agency that is part of the missionary arm of the Vatican, said of the pope's comment: "The Holy See is distancing itself from the criticisms of some Western countries"
"I am shocked and deeply disappointed by the United States' decision not to attend," said U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay, who is hosting the conference.
She conceded some countries were focusing solely on one or two issues to the detriment of the fight against intolerance, but said it is essential that the issue of racism be tackled globally.
The major sticking points regarding the proposed final U.N. declaration are its implied criticism of Israel and an attempt by Muslim governments to ban all criticism of Islam, Sharia law, the prophet Muhammad and other tenets of their faith.
Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad — who repeatedly
has called for the destruction of Israel and denied the Holocaust — is slated to speak on the first day.
He arrived in Geneva on Sunday evening and was meeting President Hans-Rudolf Merz of Switzerland, the country which represents the diplomatic interests of the United States in the Islamic republic.
The pullout of Germany would be significant as it has played a leading role in U.N. anti-racism efforts as a result of its troubled historical legacy. In recent meetings, it has expressed dismay about some governments' attempts to downplay the significance of the Holocaust.
The bland U.N. draft statement does not mention Israel by name, but it reaffirms the Durban statement and its reference to the plight of Palestinians. That document was agreed after the United States and Israel had walked out over attempts to liken Zionism — the movement to establish a Jewish state in the Holy Land — to racism.
Israel and Jewish groups have lobbied hard against Western participation in the meeting, arguing that the presence alone of American and European negotiators would give legitimacy to what they fear could become an anti-Semitic gathering.

The residents argue the corps' poor maintenance of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, a shipping channel dug in the 1960s as a short-cut between the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans, led to the wipeout of St. Bernard Parish and the city's Lower Ninth Ward when Katrina struck in August 2005. They are asking for damages between $300,000 and $400,000 for each individual.
The corps has argued that it is immune from liability because the channel is part of New Orleans' flood control system, but the judge has allowed the case to be heard because residents claim the channel was a navigation project.
Arguments are set to begin Monday in the trial, which will be heard and decided by a judge, not a jury. If the five residents and one business in this initial lawsuit are victorious, more than 120,000 other individuals, businesses and government entities could have a better shot at claiming billions of dollars in damages.
NATIONAL Trial to decide if Army owes victims of Katrina
NEW ORLEANS — More than three years after Katina stirred up the waters and washed out levees along a 75-mile, man-made shipping channel dubbed "hurricane highway", a judge could soon decide whether the Army Corps of Engineers owes residents and businesses damages because of the massive flooding.
One of the residents suing, 75-year-old Lucille Franz, lost her home in the Lower 9th Ward. "I've been through a lot," she said.
Her sister drowned at St. Rita's nursing home in St. Bernard near the MRGO.

Track fans could be ready to love again
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
HISTORIC MILE
On the outskirts of Memorial Stadium, Alan Webb emerged from the track wearing a bright orange jersey, a baby blue hat and a USA Track & Field backpack.
At an opening in the chain link fence, fans of all ages waited for Webb, the American record holder in the mile, to appear. They held digital cameras, picture phones and even a Polaroid camera. They had him sign t-shirts and sweatshirts, Kansas Relays posters and old race numbers stripped from jerseys.
He threw his arm around their shoulders and cracked sharp one-liners. He had a plane to catch, so he sprinted everywhere after the race. Still, Webb spent 15 minutes entertaining fans until, finally, he had to leave.
Moments before, under a cloudy and dark sky, Webb ran the Glen Cunningham Invitational Mile in 3:58.9 — the first sub-four minute time at the Kansas Relays since 1997
"It's still cool to see that number — three fifty whatever." Webb said. "It was definitely great."
There's little doubt that the popularity and general interest in track and field has been down in recent years, a result of the use of performance-enhancing drugs by the sport's biggest stars.
But at the Kansas Relays, Webb delivered a riveting mile run, and the crowd took notice. Webb and Peter van der Westhuizen battled throughout the race, especially in the final lap. They both clocked in at less than 4 minutes.
"It was good competition the whole way." Webb said.
In 1967, Ryun set the current record for the mile at the Kansas Relays. Ryun is one of the most accomplished and well-known track athletes in Kansas history, and he said he hoped that Webb would topple his time of 3:54.7.
Before the race, Kansas track legend and former Kansas Rep. Jim Ryan triggered the starting gun. And it was all too fitting.
- Edited by Sonya English
Shortly after the race, while Webb sat on the grass inside Memorial Stadium and changed shoes, Ryan made his way across the field and took a picture with the race's top two finishers.
That didn't happen on Saturday, but judging by the excitement in the stands, spectators weren't disappointed. As Webb and van der Westhuizen sprinted for the finish line, nearly everyone stood and cheered.
"I want people to appreciate the sport," Ryun said. "It's a great sport. Middle distance running is a great combination between a distance runner and a sprinter."
Perhaps, as Webb's popularity on Saturday showed, track and field still has a place in American sports.

The next historic event featured athletes such as American mile record holder Alan Webb, 2008 Olympian Christian Smith and Peter van der Westhuizen, a former University of Nebraska runner from South Africa.
"I'm really indebted to her." Bonds said.

Hawks feel loss against Texas
BY BEN WARD
bward@kansan.com
The Kansas softball team would have gladly settled for a series split against No.24 Texas over the weekend.
Instead the laywhips, who had split four of their past five series, dropped both contests to the Longhorns in Austin, 5-0 and 3-2, respectively.
"The bottom line is, we didn't do the little things necessary to win ball games," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We gave them extra outs, walked too many batters — the little things really hurt us."
With the two losses, Kansas dropped to 16-25 overall and 4-8 in Big 12 play, leaving them 10th in the conference.
Those little things proved troublesome for Kansas right away. Coming off of two strong outings against UMKC, Sarah Vertelka didn't make it out of the first hurler on Saturday. The junior hurler struggled with her command, allowing four walks and two runs. Freshman Sarah Blair turned in 5 1/3 innings of solid relief, allowing two earned runs. But Kansas couldn't provide any run support for its staff, notching only two hits in the contest.
On Sunday, the Jayhawks found themselves down early, again, as the Longhorns got to senior pitcher Valerie George for two runs in the first inning. George settled down, keeping Kansas in the game as she held the Longhorns to a single run over the final five frames, while striking out four.
Kansas attempted to conjure up another seventh inning rally when sophomore shortstop Kolby Fessire scored on a single from senior third baseman Val Chapple, cutting the deficit to 3-2. But Texas sophomore pitcher Brittany Barnhill closed the door, retiring senior catcher Elle Potton for a fly ball to end a wild weekend for the Jay Hawks. "We hit the ball much better on Sunday," Bunge said. "Lots of loud outs that don't translate to the box score, but we had some chances we didn't take advantage of."
Barnhill was sharp from the

Kansas avoids the sweep at Texas Tech
BY JOSH BOWE
ibowe@kansan.com
Tony Thompson and former Jayhawk great Travis Metcalf may soon have more in common than playing the same position.
Thompson, sophomore third baseman, clubbed two home runs Sunday while No. 24 Kansas rebounded strong and avoided a sweep from Texas Tech, winning 15-6.
Thompson now has 12 home runs on the season, only six shy of tying former fellow third baseman Metcalf's single season home run record of 18, which was set in Metcalf's senior year in 2004.
His three home runs in the three game series unfortunately were not enough as the Jayhawks will more
than likely lose their national ranking after failing to win the series against the Red Raiders.
"Our whole season rode on today's ballgame," Price said. "If we would of got swept on the road by Texas Tech it would of ruined all the positive things we had accomplished in the first part of the Big 12 season."
It wasn't a good weekend for pitching to say the least, Kansas' top two starters, junior Shaeffer Hall and sophomore T.J. Walz, were knocked around on Friday and Saturday as Tech scored 22 runs in those two games.

While the Red Raiders still scored a decent amount with six on Sunday, freshman starter Lee Ridenhour wasn't accountable for the damage as he pitched six innings and only
allowed one run. He did have to constantly work through tough situations though, as he gave up eight hits and walked three.
Still, it was enough for Ridenhour's first victory since Wichita State back on March 11.
"He grinded that win out today," Price said. "He found a way to get six innings for us."
The first two games of the series saw the Jayhawk's lineup struggle to score runs early before surging late. However, on Sunday Kansas silenced any possible chances for a sweep by Tech. They exploded for 10 runs through the first four innings, including a seven-run first inning.

NASCAR Ganassi's fifth victory in Toyota Grand Prix
LONG BEACH, Calif. — One thing Dario Franchi and team owner Chip Ganassi have in common is that both hate to lose.
It wasn't easy for either one of them to accept the failure last summer when a lack of sponsorship forced Ganassi to shut down Franchitti's Sprint Cup team in the former IndyCar Series champion's abortive move to NASCAR.
"For both of us, that was very tough to swallow because we're used to such success," Franchitti said Sunday after giving Ganassi his fifth victory in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, but first since 1999.
"Chip lost an awful lot of money last year, I lost my drive and a bunch of people lost their jobs. So I don't think it was easy on anybody."
The win was only his second race back in IndyCar, and only his second race driving an open-wheel car for Target Chip Ganassi Racing, was a big moment for both.

Junior guard Mario Little successfully underwent surgery to repair a stress fracture in his lower left leg Thursday of last week.
Kansas coach Bill Self announced the operation had taken place in a press release issued Saturday.
"The doctors inserted a rod into his left leg, which was healing fine," Self said. "The rod was put in to facilitate the healing process. The injured area is in the part of the leg that takes most of the load when you land from running and jumping. We are hopeful Mario will be fully healed by June."

Cardinals, Cubs game rescheduled for July 12
CHICAGO — The bullpins of the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals got a much-needed break from the weather on Sunday night.
Steady rain and an ugly forecast postponed the conclusion of their four-game series, which will be made up July 12 as part of a day-night doubleheader. It was called about 3 hours before the scheduled first pitch.
"No question, our bullpen could use a break," said Cubs manager Lou Piniella. "There's no question about that."
The Cardinals won the first game of the series and the Cubs won the next two, both in dramatic fashion. Alfonso Soriano hit a go-ahead two-run homer in Friday's game and Aramis Ramirez hit a game-winning two-run homer in the 11th inning on Saturday.
The back-and-forth games put pressure on both hollpens.

"There are two things you don't want to do, if you take the worst-case scenario," La Russa said. "You don't want to get embarrassed, in this rivalry or anytime, especially if a lot of people are watching. The second thing is you don't want to penalize one of your key guys, like (Todd) Wellemeyer, if he's struggling and not having a good day."
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa was forced to use situational lefty Denny Reyes in the 11th inning on Saturday, and he was tagged by Ramirez with the game-ending run. La Russa didn't want to be forced into that situation again.

Jayhawks lose last two matches of regular season
Seniors Svistun and Horvath win singles, doubles matches against Texas A&M in last home competitions of their NCAA careers
BY JUSTIN HILLEY jhilley@kansan.com
Competing against Big 12 opponents No. 32 Texas and No. 35 Texas A&M, Kansas dropped its final two regular-season matches over the weekend, bringing their conference record to 4-7 and overall record to 10-12. The Big 12 Championship begins Thursday in Norman, Okla.
KANSAS CAREER RECORD
Jayhawk seniors Edina Horvath, who was recently named to the 2009 Academic All-Big 12 Women's Tennis Team, and Yuliana Swistun played their final two home matches of their distinguished NCAA careers.
Singles
Edina Horvath 63 62
Yuliana Svistun 66 44
Doubles
Edina Horvath 76 54
Yulian Svistun 44 49
Svistun said she wished she had more time to play for the growing KU squad.
that come next year we are going to do even better than this year and then I realize that there is no more next year for me."
Saturday's doubles action featured a victory by Kansas' Horvath and freshman Kate Morozova
"I feel very sad," Svistun said before Saturday's dual match against Texas. "And it is very hard to believe. Sometimes I still think
against the ranked Texas pairing of Vanja Corovic and Marija Milice, 8-3. But by that time Texas had already clinched the doubles point by winning at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions.
The Longhorns were relentless in the singles round as every match was won in straight sets, except at the No. 2 position where Morozova was able to take Krista Damico to three sets before losing 6-2, 5-7, 10-8. Texas defeated Kansas 7-0 in the dual match.
Svistun and Horvath were honored on Senior Day Sunday. Devoted fans gave bouquets of flowers and recognized their outstanding achievements, such as
Swistun's four consecutive winning seasons.
Sunday's 6-1 dual match loss to Texas A&M included some success from Kansas. The KU doubles pair of Horvath and Morozova was able to win its match, 8-6, but the Aggles still took the early doubles point. Swistun was the only Jayhawk to pull out a victory in the singles competition, winning in a third-set tiebreaker 10-1.
Coach Amy Hall-Holt talked about Horvath and Svistun's careers after Sunday's dual match.
"Edina has always been a top competitor," Hall Holl特. "She
puts her heart and soul out there. It was a tough role that I had her play at No. 1, but she fulfilled the role as a senior. I was really happy with how she ended her regular season."
Hall-Holt said that watching Swistun play during the past four years has been "a learning experience" for her.
"The girl couldn't even volley when she got here." Hall-Holt said. "And now she's playing No. 3, and she's got one of the best records on the team. I'm really proud of both of them. They strive for excellence and it shows."

Brian Gay wins Verizon Heritage by 10
BY PETE IACOBELLI Associated Press
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.
— Brian Gay put on a record-setting show at the Verizon Heritage. And this time, he didn't have to share the spotlight with anyone.
Gay shot a 7-under 64 Sunday to win at Harbour Town Golf Links by an astounding 10 shots. He broke the 13-year-old scoring record, finishing at 20 under 264 on the way to his second PGA Tour victory.
"Just another unbelievable day!"
Gay said.
There have been many more of them the last two years for the former Florida Gator, who remains the only player to win two Southeastern Conference championships.
But finding golf success has been a struggle for the 37-year-old, who did not break through for his first victory until his 293rd start in February 2008 at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico.
Bad luck for Gay, that triumph came the same weekend Tiger Woods' finished off the field at the
World Golf Championships' Match Play event.
"Yeah, it's a bit of validation." Gav said.
And perhaps one of the PGA Tour's more dominating performances.
He had the tour's largest margin of victory since Phil Mickelson won the 2006 BellSouth Classic by 13 strokes.
Gay bested Loren Roberts' mark of 19 under in winning the 1996 Verizon Heritage. Gay's 10-shot edge over Luke Donald (66) and Briny Baird (68) shattered the seven strokes five-time champ Davis Love won by in 1998.
Besides a $1,026 million first prize, Gay earned a spot in next year's Masters, something he also didn't get with the Makakoba victory. It will be his first time at Augusta National.
"I've had a lot of heartache not getting in that tournament, winning (and) not getting in, and missing by one spot on the money list two times," he said. "I just figured, who cares? What's going to happen
is going to happen, just go play golf"
Gay moved into the lead Friday and carried a three-stroke margin over Tim Wilkinson into the final round. Gay's game plan? Don't do what he did at Mayakoba, holding on despite some passive, wait-for-pars play.
"I told myself to keep my head down and keep plugging along," Gay said. "I didn't watch any (leader) boards. I didn't watch anything."
Soon enough, Gay was out of sight of the field.
He essentially wrapped things up two holes into the round — and never gave the chasers a chance to climb back in.
Gay struck his approach to 10 feet on No.1 for a birdie to increase the lead to four. A hole later, he rolled in a curling, uphill 57-footer for an eagle-3, raising his putter as the ball disappeared into the cup.
Playing partner Wilkinson, facing a 10-footer for birdie, never had a chance with the cheers for Gay still in his ears and the margin
increased to six shots.
A birdie on the par-5 fifth gave Gay a seven-shot edge that no one could dent.
Gay moved into the lead Friday with a run of five straight birdies and continued his precise, accurate play throughout. He made only two bogeys — one Friday and one Sunday — and bettered Roberts' low of three bogeys for the 1996 tournament.
The tour began keeping hole-by hole scoring records in 1983.
"I'm happy for the guy. He's playing phenomenal," Baird said.
The only back-nine drama was if Gay could break Roberts' scoring mark. It looked dicey when Gay posted a bogey on the 12th hole to fall back to 17-under.
Surely, with a large lead and victory all but wrapped up, Gay would pull back a bit the rest of the way.
Not this time.
Gay regained the lost stroke with a birdie on the next hole, then matched Roberts with a birdie on the par-5 15th.

Jayhawks get top-10 finish at Lady Buckeye Invitational
BY HALLIE MANN
hmann@kansan.com
After playing one of the toughest courses of the season the Jayhawks managed a top-10 finish at the Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational in Columbus, Ohio. Coach Erin O'Neil said the team's ninth place finish was a good performance considering the difficulty of the course.
"This course is really unforgiving," O'Neil said. "You have to execute and any missed shots can add up really quickly."
O'Neil said the course had several sand bunkers and uneven greens that made it a challenging course to play on. This was also the first time the Jayhawks had played at this tournament and on this course.
The players had similar sentiments about the course. Junior Emily Powers, who lead the Jayhawks, said the course was tough and that it showed off the weak spots of the team's performances at times.
"The course exaggerated the mistakes we made." Powers said. "I think we played it well but we just

had a few missed putts here and there that caught up with us."
Behind Powers' tie for 33rd was sophomore Sydney Wilson who tied 37th place. Wilson said the greens were definitely the most difficult part of the course. Wilson said the tournament and the course taught her a lot and that she would
"We had a good first round but the green was difficult for us," Wilson said. "You might have one bad shot and then it would take more shots to get back."
try to make the most of her experience.
Overall, O'Neil said the tournament wasn't the best but the team had good moments throughout. O'Neil said Powers had a good second round on the 36 holes the first day. Wilson had a really strong first round, O'Neil said.
"We were here and there with our game?" ONeil said. "We were just
going to work on our mental game before next weekend."
Next weekend the team will head to Lubbock, Texas for the Big 12 Tournament at Texas Tech University. Wilson said she was glad the team had a chance to play before the conference tournament and said that she thought the team was feeling really well about it.
"It was good to be in a playing-mode before our next big tournament," Wilson said.

Sox soar past Orioles after Lester pitches seven shutout innings
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Jon Lester pitched seven shutout innings to return to his winning form in Fenway Park, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
It was the fourth straight victory for the Red Sox, who can complete a sweep of the four game series on Monday morning in the annual Patriots' Day game.
Koji Uehara (2-1) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings for the Orioles, who lost their fourth consecutive game.
Lester (1-2), who had allowed 11 runs in 12 innings in his first two starts of the season, held the Orioles to four singles while striking out nine. He lost his first start of the year in Fenway against Tampa Bay on April 8, snapping a 16-game regular-season home unbeaten streak.
YANKEES 7, INDIANS 3
NEW YORK — Pinch-hitter Jorge Posada's drive to right in the seventh inning was ruled a two-
run homer by video replay, as the Yankees spoiled former teammate Carl Pavano's return.
Posada sent a high fly to right off Jensen Lewis (1-2) with one out, and the ball was deflected off a fan and back into play. Posada slowed his trot between first and second, looking out to right field, before he saw the homer signal from second base umpire Phil Cuzzi.
Outfielder Trevor Crowe ran toward the infield indicating a fan interfered, and Indians manager Eric Wedge came out to dispute the call, before replay upheld the homer.
TIGERS 8, MARINERS 2
SEATTLE — Rick Porcello shut down Seattle for seven innings in just his second major league start, retiring his final 14 batters, and Ramon Santiago had a career-high five RBIs.
The youngest starting pitcher to take the mound for Detroit in almost 30 years, the 20-year-old Porcello (1-1) looked more like a seasoned veteran shutting down
Seattle's offense. He gave up one run and five hits.
Leading 5-1, Santiago provided some cushion in the eighth with a three-run double that barely eluded the glove of left fielder Endy Chavez.
Carlos Silva (0-2) allowed four runs and six hits in five innings for the Mariners.
BLUE JAYS 1,
OAKLAND 0
TORONTO — Ricky Romero pitched seven sharp innings, striking out a career-high six and allowing only four hits for the Blue laws.
Romero (2-0) lowered his ERA to 1.71 before Scott Downs worked a perfect eighth and B.J. Ryan finished for his second save in three chances.
Lyle Overbay singled in Kevin Millar in the second inning for the only run of the game.
Dallas Braden (1-2) gave up one run and five hits in a career-high 7 1-3 innings for Oakland, who had a chance to tie it in the third when Mark Ellis was thrown out.

PHILADELPHIA — Raul Ibanez hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Philadelphia Phillies a 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.
Ryan Howard started Philadelphia's winning rally with a leadoff single against Edwin Moreno (0-1), who was in because closer Heath Bell had worked three consecutive days. Ibanez followed by hitting a 2-0 pitch into the right-field stands.
Slumping shortstop Jimmy Rollins connected for a pinchhit solo drive in the eighth for Philadelphia, which ended a three-game skid.

Philadelphia Phillies 'Raul Ibanez hits a two-run home run against the San Diego Padres in the ninth inning on Sunday. The Phillies hit 5-4.
SAN FRANCISCO — Randy Johnson took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against his former team, leading the Giants to the win.
Johnson, who allowed one hit in seven innings, was perfect through four. He faced the minimum through six and stranded Augie Ojeda at third after the shortstop doubled to open the seventh.
The 45-year-old Johnson (1-2) got his 29th career win in his first start against the Diamondbacks, who he spent eight seasons with. Bob Howry pitched the eighth and Brian Wilson got the last three outs for his second save.
Max Scherzer (0-1) struck out six in five innings for Arizona, yielding one run and three hits with four walks.

What students are saying about Dons
Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noises and the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handled these things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college. I had heard about Don's Auto from some friends and through the Kansan, so I decided to give them a call. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super understanding.
What impressed me most, was that they offered to call my dad and consult with him every step of the way. Now, I always take my car to Don!

WASHINGTON — Cody Ross hit the tying homer in the eighth inning, then hit a three-run double in the ninth to give the Marlins their seventh straight victory.
Emilio Bonifacio led on the ninth by drawing a walk off Saul Rivera (0-3), and John Baker followed with a double into the gap in left-center to tie the game at 4. After Hanley Ramirez struck out, Ross Gload was walked intentionally before Dan Uggla struck out looking and Jeremy Hermida walked on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases for Ross.

"I'm satisfied with my race for now," Hayes said.
In women's action, Kansas, Missouri State and Seton Hall battled out the 4x400 race down to the last leg. For Kansas, the team of freshman Shayla Wilson, and seniors Nickesha Anderson, Sha'Ray Butler and Charity Stowers finished with a time of 3:43.14, but Missouri State won with a time of 3:41.39.
"We did our thing," Anderson said. "We have our best team ahead and we know when it all boils down to it, we're going to do it."
Anderson said it was frustrating for some team members who had not yet regionally qualified. Anderson said they may not have gotten the victory, but they were able to knock off three seconds from their previous attempt.
"We should have won that 4X4 but we didn't, and we're not going to beat ourselves about it. We put on a good show by our teammates and we did good." Anderson said.
Like the women's event, the men's 4x400 came down to the last leg with Kansas, Seton Hall and Wichita State separated by a little more than one second. Kansas runners were juniors Jacob Breth
and Reggie Carter, senior Jarrell Rollins and sophomore Keron Toussaint.
Seton Hall edged out the Jayhawks winning with a time of 3:11.41, and the Jayhawks took second in 3:21.45.
Redwine said he was pleased overall with how his team did at the Relays.
"Both teams did their best and we've to continue to make them better," coach Stanley Redwine said.
"Everyone ran their hardest and we looked pretty good." Redwine said. "We had some better standings in regionals with more athletes qualifying so that's the kind of thing we wanted to do."

SHOT PUTTER QUALIFIES FOR REGIONALS
Senior Stephanie Horton qualified for regionals in the shot put, throwing 15.47 meters. Right behind Horton was her teammate senior Emily Reimer, who also qualified throwing 15.14 meters.
SCOTT WINS POLE VAULT
In men's pole vault on Friday, junior Jordan Scott took first in the event, jumping 5.50 meters Scott is redshirting in the outdoor season not because of injury, but in hopes of making the team better and helping perfect his skills so he can one day accomplish his goal of breaking the NCAA record in pole vault.
FALL KEEPS SENIOR FROM VICTORY
In the finals of the steeple chase, senior Patrick McGowan had a strong performance despite a fall midway in the race, taking second place running a time of 9:29.07. Freshman Rebeha Stowe took third in the women's event with a time of 11:25.25.
BATMAN WITHDRAWS FROM EVENT
Fans wanting to see Olympic bronze medalist Bershawn "Batman" Jackson compete in the 400-meter hurdles were disappointed in his withdrawal right before the event.
Jackson had been dealing with a problem in his hamstring for a little more than a week
and decided after taking some warm-up runs to back out.
"It's not worth jeopardizing and it's early in the year," Jackson said. "I want to take the next two to three weeks to get it healthy."
Jackson's schedule includes meets in Osaka, Japan, and the Penn Relays. But the Olympian said he definitely plans to return next year.
"I got five Kansas Relay victories and I want to keep it going." Jackson said. "I hate to pull out this year, I really wanted to go out and get another victory and another meet record but you know I still have next year and years after that."

Olympian enjoys competing in javelin at Kansas Relays

The Kansas relays are a much dif
In between world-class heaves, Russell laughed and joked with friends and family who showed up to support him. He also acted as part cheerleader, part athlete, getting the crowd to clap for each of the throwers, including himself, during the competition.
"We practice every day, and it's different having a crowd behind you," Russell said. "Having all the faces you recognize — trainers, coaches, Lawrence High kids, inlaws, my wife — It's a really cool environment and it's easy to compete in."

For Scott Russell, Friday was just another afternoon tossing a javelin at the University. Except this day crowds gathered to watch the Olympian, gazing and cheering in awe as he wowed them and easily won the event with a toss of 75.08 meters.
Russell, a KU graduate who lives and trains in Lawrence, wasn't exactly pleased with his performance, but that would be difficult to tell for the casual observer.
This was Russell's first competition of the season.
"It was a rough start but a good start," he said of the competition.
ferent stage from the 2008 Beijing Olympic games where Russell, a Windsor, Ontario, native, competed for Canada. He placed 10th in the javelin throw.
Even on the world's grandest stage, Russell still managed to keep his laid-back attitude.
"I never thought I'd be that relaxed going into the Olympics," he said.
"It was ridiculous," he said of the experience. "You know you're going to see 91,000 people when you enter the stadium, you know you're going to see the torch, but you don't realize the little things you'll experience like the Canadian National Anthem coming on when you walk in the stadium."
It was an experience that he almost didn't achieve. After missing the cut for the 2004 Athens games, Russell was on the brink of giving up competition.
He was out of money and motivation, but a friend gave him the money to compete one more time, and on his first throw at the competition, he set the Canadian record for javelin with a throw of 84.41 meters.
"I thought 'Why am I still doing this?'" he said. "I didn't have the support system that I have now."
Junior thrower Mary Lacy hurls the shot put in the first flight of the women's finals April 17 outside Memorial Stadium.
"I saved my career," he said. "I don't know where I'd be, I probably
would have just gone home and started working."
Instead, Russell is back competing at the University, where he spent his college years. Russell decided to make the move from Canada to Kansas after both the school and the town impressed him.
"The school itself had a really good reputation," he said. "And there's just something about Lawrence. It's really laid back, just like I am outside of competition."
The Kansas Relays provide a chance for him to reminisce about his many years in Lawrence. Russell has made the city his home base. He trains locally at Next Level Sports Performance, 644 E. Locust St., and is even helping coach the Lawrence High track team.
"I'm really glad and really lucky to have the support system I have here," he said. "I thank all the people here who let me do it."
In between training, coaching and competing, he finds time to work on a master's degree in education.
"I'm trying to figure it all out," he said. "I know I want to throw, and I know I want to teach. Right now I'm trying to see if I can make it work financially."

Sophomore Jimmy Winters hits Sunday against Texas Tech. Kansas beat Tech 15-6 to avoid being swept in the weekend series.
like that. It's always nice to get a lead early and get our pitchers some runs to work with." Thompson said.
Fifteen runs on 15 hits was as efficient as the Jayhawks had been all season. Kansas has left runners on base in the past and it has been a problem all season.
And it wasn't just Thompson and the rest of the middle part of the order that did the damage. Every Jayhawk that played had a hit and six Jayhawks had at least one RBI with junior shortstop David Narodowski leading the way with four.
"The tail end of our lineup contributed all three days," Price said. "That's why we scored as many runs as we did."
But Thompson's three home runs was the story for the Jayhawk offense this weekend, especially on
Sunday, Price even said it would be a remarkable effort to reach Metcalf's record.
"If he continues to swing the bat the way he's going about his business I think there's no doubt about it he'll break that record before the season ends." Price said.
But with Thompson now the closest any Jayhawk has ever been to reaching Metcalf's record in the past five years, does the Reno, Nev., native feel luck enough to reach the record in the final 17 games?
"It would take a pretty big effort and it would be a great record to have, but as long as we're winning that's all I care about," Thompson said.

Canucks defeat Blues in playoff series
Vancouver set up to sweep St. Louis with victory on Tuesday in Game 4
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
Associated Press
ST, LOUISE — Roberto Luongo carried the Vancouver Canucks for two games. Specialty units helped them take a 3-0 series lead against the St. Louis Blues.
The Canucks scored three power-play goals, including Steve Bernier's go-ahead score in the opening minute of the third period, while again stifling their opponents' chances with the man advantage in a 3-2 victory Sunday night.
Vancouver, the third seed in the Western Conference, silenced a standing-room crowd of 19,500 for the Blues' first home playoff game in five seasons. The Canucks can finish off the sixth-seeded Blues in Game 4 on Tuesday night in St. Louis.
Andy McDonald, frequently frustrated by Luongo the first two games, finally broke through to tie it at 2 in the second period
for the Blues, and added an assn. But St. Louis was shut on five power plays, especially squandering early chances to seize control, and is 1-for-16 in the series.
Mattias Ohlund and Daniel Sedin also scored power-play goals for the Canucks, who were
strong, the last two periods after mustering five shots and trailing 1-0 after the first And Luongo, who allowed one goal on 56 shots the first two games, made 24 saves and was good

enough even if he wasn't the star that prompted a fans" "LuonGO Home" sign.
The go-ahead goal was a bit of a fluke, keyed by Sami Salo's wide shot from the point that took a lively bounce off the end boards and right to Henrik Sedin, who redirected the puck to Bernier
span of 2:25 to take their first lead.
Blues coach Andy Murray used his timeout after Ohlund's shot from the right point squirted between Chris Mason's pads at 7:53. But Jay McClement was
whistled for holding the stick about a half-minute later, his second straight trip to the penalty box, and Daniel Sedin poked in the go-ahead goal just before a flailing Mason could glove the puck at 10:18.
The Blues were outshot 11-3 the first 12-plus minutes of
the period before rallying on McDonald's tying goal at 16:13. McDonald banged three shots off the goal post or crossbar in the Canucks' 3-0 Game 2 victory, also Luongo's first career playoff shutout, before finally beating the goalie off a blistering cross-ice feed from David Perron to tie it at 16:13.
Backes' first goal in six games gave the Blues their first lead of the series. McDonald got the puck in deep after passing off the boards to himself, and Backes scored off Brad Boyes' feed from behind the net at 3:11.
St. Louis missed many more chances, though, totaling just three shots in 6:34 of power play time while rarely getting a chance to set up shop in the offensive zone.
That included 1:26 with a two-man advantage after Willie Mitchell was whistled for a double minor midway through the period.

circle, pitching all 14 innings for the Longhorns while striking out 12 and allowing only two runs. But as Bunge alluded to, Kansas
had its share of opportunities to score.
The Jayhawks left 13 runners on base in the two games, unable to capitalize off of seven walks and three Longhorn errors. Chapple and senior outfielder Dougie McCaulley led Kansas with two hits apiece
over the weekend, but the rest of the lineup had only three hits combined against Barnhill.
"She did what she needed to do to win," Bunge said. "Give her credit. She threw the ball pretty well out there, but we've got to make adjustments at the plate. We just didn't get it done."
Bunge said there wasn't time to dwell on the losses because Kansas would face a doubleheader Tuesday against Tulsa.
"We need to shake this series off and get ready for Tulsa," she said.

Los Angeles avoids late Utah surge in playoff opener
Lakers's 62 first-half points enough despite Jazz late-game rally
BY BETH HARRIS
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Pardon Phil Jackson's lack of enthusiasm for how the Los Angeles Lakers played in the second half. They piled up 62 points on Utah in the first half, then got outscorded over the final 24 minutes.
"It wasn't a coach's delight, that's for sure," he said.
But his players sure liked the outcome, a 113-100 victory over the jazz in the teams' playoff opener Sunday.
Kobe Bryant scored 24 points, Trevor Ariza added 21 and Pau Gasol 20 as the Lakers pretty much had their way against the eighth-seeded Jazz. They led by 22 points at halftime and then answered resoundingly both times Utah got within nine in the second half.
"They kept knocking on the door and we just never let them in," Bryant said.
Allowing a Phil Jackson-coached team to win Game 1 of any series doesn't bode well for the opposition. Jackson's teams have never lost a playoff series after winning Game 1, going 41-for-41 with Chicago and the Lakers.
Carlos Boozer led the Jazz with 27 points and Deron Williams added 16 points and a career play-off high 17 assists. Both were in foul trouble, with Boozer getting his third just before halftime when Williams already had two.
"We had a very difficult time," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "We gave up 62 points in the first half and it's virtually impossible to beat this team giving them an edge."
"I didn't shoot the ball too well." Williams said. "I did a good job getting in the lane and distributing the basketball, I just couldn't finish."
The Jazz sorely missed Mehmet Okur, who sat out with a mild right hammstring strain. He averages
17 points and 7.5 rebounds and gives Utah a much-needed presence against the Lakers' twin 7-footers, Andrew Bynum and Gasol.
Bynum had seven points and three rebounds playing in foul trouble most of the game.
"We were just a step slow," Sloan said. "They kicked our butt off the floor."
He questioned his young team's toughness, a trait Utah has rarely lacked during the Hall of Fame coach's tenure.
"We're not a nasty team," Sloan said. "Most of the teams that we've had here have been pretty nasty and they will get after you from daylight to dark. We're just learning how to get after it a little bit more
as we go along with younger guys.
"Part of that's my fault. I probably haven't been nasty enough with them."
Bryant wasn't buying Sloan's assessment.
"I'm a game connoisseur, so I know how nasty Sloan was
when he was playing," he said,
"Pardon my French, but your (rear)
would be kicked out of the league
if you played that physical now. I'm
sure he's using it as a motivational
tool to get those guys to play even
harder."
They'll need to at Staples Center.
The Jazz were 15-26 on the road during the regular season, and the Lakers have now beaten them 10 in a row at home, including playoff games.
Bryant spent the first quarter getting his teammates involved before putting his own mark on the game.
His total gave Bryant 3,710 career postseason points, moving him past Magic Johnson and into ninth
on the NBA's list. He trails only Kareem Abdul Jabbar (4.070) and Jerry West (4.457) for most points in the playoffs with the Lakers.
The jazz outscored the Lakers 33-24 in the third quarter to trail 86-73 going into the final 12 minutes. They opened the quarter on a 9-0 run, then a 9-2 burst got them to 72-63, their first single-digit deficit since late in the opening quarter.
But Bryant scored three in a row and Shannon Brown hit a 3-pointer that kept the Lakers ahead by 13.
"We were just a step slow. They kicked our butt off the floor."
The Jazz got to 98-89 on a 3-pointer by Andrei Kirilenko with 5:46 remaining in the game. Bryant answered with four points in a row and Gasol hit two free throws that pushed the lead back to 13 points.
JERRY SLOAN Utah coach
The teams combined to make 67 trips to the free throw line.
"A lot of free throws. Anytime you get to the line it stops the momentum," Bryant said. "It doesn't enable us to get out on transition. It was
a stop-and-go game, and that's exactly the style of basketball that they play"
That's what Jackson disliked, especially Utah's 20-7 edge on the offensive boards.
"Foul after foul after foul" he said. "Rebounds, offensive rebounds, those are the things we harped on all week about having to watch that particular aspect of our game."
Williams stole the ball from Bryant to start the game and the Jazz hit three quick shots to take their largest lead of four points.
It was all Lakers after that.
Bryant dished off to Ariza and Brown for 3-pointers, and the Lakers built a 30-10 lead while shooting 71 percent.

Philly steals magic from Orlando
BY ANTONIO GONZALEZ
Associated Press
For the Philadelphia 76ers, it was the sweet sound of stealing home-court advantage.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Andre Iguodala waited for the clock to tick down, took a few dribbles to his right and let go a high-arching jumper. Swish! The Magic were stunned, their fans silenced.
Iguodala made a 22-foot jumper with 2.2 seconds remaining, and the Sixers rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat Orlando 100-98 in Game 1 of their opening-round playoff series Sunday.
He then stood at halfcourt waving his hands as teammates joined him to celebrate.
"We won one more game than people thought we would win," Iguodala said. "I was pretty amped up."
Igudala had 20 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, and
Louis Williams scored 18 to help the Sixers beat the Magic for the first time in four tries this season
Iguodala had missed two free throws with about a minute left before more than redeeming himself with the game-winning shot.
— and when it mattered most, Hedo Turkoglu's fadeaway 3-pointer missed at the buzzer, and Magic fans stood in disbelief before filing out quietly.
"He really made up for it, didn't he?" Sixers coach Tony DiLeo said, smiling. "He's like our secret weapon."
Dwight Howard had a career playoff-high 31 points and 16 rebounds, and rookie Courtney Lee scored 18 for the Magic. It was the biggest lead the Magic blew all season, topping the loss on Oct. 31 to Memphis when they were ahead by 15 points. Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night in Orlando.
"I was very surprised at the
effort," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "I was surprised not only for our lack of intensity defensively, but I was really surprised with our lack of focus."
Orlando's inside-out game seemed as if it would too much for Philadelphia
When they did, Howard again took charge.
Rim-rocking dunks, smooth hook shots and even some uncharacteristic crisp free throws by the Magic's center capped the spurt. The only time Philadelphia actually slowed Howard was when Samuel Dalembert inadvertently scratched both his eyes and was called for a foul. Howard said his eyes were pulsating after the game but shouldn't be a problem.
Howard made the pair of free throws to put Orlando ahead 79-61 and then went to the locker room with a towel to his face. He returned to the game after a few minutes.

Rangers shoot down Royals with Young's walk-off home run
After leading 5-3, Kansas City relievers give up three runs, chance for sweep

ARLINGTON, Texas — Michael Young was just trying to put the ball in play. He did a lot more than that, and seconds later the Texas Rangers were celebrating a comeback victory.

TEXAS
Texas Rangers' Michael Young, center, leaps on home plate of front teammates after hitting a walk off home run off Kansas City Royals pitcher Kyle Farnsworth in the ninth inning on Sunday. With the loss, Farnsworth is now 0-3 with an 18.90 ERA.
Young hit a ninth-inning leadoff homer off reliever Kyle Farnsworth and the Rangers rallied from two runs down to beat the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Sunday.
Young ripped Farnsworth's 1-0

"It felt good. Hitting a home run was the last thing on my mind."
"It felt good," Young said. "Hitting a home run was the last thing on my mind, facing a guy who's got really good stuff. I was just thinking contact, get on base, and set the table for the guys behind me. It was cool ... when it helps the team out, it's always a good feeling."

The Rangers were searching for somethingpositive after losing seven of their previous eight and dropping the first two games to the Royals by a combined score of 14-3.

"We needed it," Young said. "Fortunately we got some breaks there in the eighth and tied it up. Hopefully we can get some momentum out of this win and take it on the road."

single, with Blalock scoring when Davis' sharp grounder glanced off the glove of second baseman Alberto Callaspo. Callaspo recovered the ball and threw home, but Blalock's slide avoided the tag from catcher John Buck
Frank Francisco (1-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the win.
Ian Kinsler, who homered and went 2-for-4, was standing next to Davis on the top step of the Rangers' dugout when Farnsworth threw the second pitch to Young. Davis and Kinsler grabbed each other as the ball sailed into the seats, then sprinted onto the field to await Young's arrival.
"You don't like getting behind in the count. You have to throw a fastball and that's what he wants."
"The most fun is waiting for him to get to the plate because after that it's just chaos," Davis said.
KYLE FARNSWORTH Royals reliever
Farnsworth said missing the strike zone with his first pitch proved disastrous.
"You don't like getting behind in the count," Farnsworth said. "You have to throw a fastball and that's what he wants."
Farnsworth has
struggled early as the losing pitcher in three of the Royals' five losses.
"He hasn't gotten off to a good start," Kansas City manager Trey Hillman said. "He's made improvements to his delivery. But he's had more tough outings than positives. We've seen some good things out
of him, but to do what we want to do, Kyle Farnsworth has got to perform for us."
Royals starter Kyle Davies recovered from a four-walk first inning to pitch three-hit ball over six innings, leaving with a 5-3 lead before the bullpen faltered.
Davies fell behind 2-0 in a shaky first but righted himself to allow three runs, strike out eight and walk five.
Jacobs and David De Jesus homered and drove in two runs each for the Royals, who had won five of six entering Sunday's game.
Texas starter Vicente Padilla allowed five runs and eight hits in five innings with five strikeouts and one walk.
Davies had trouble finding the strike zone in the first, walking four
with Kinsler and Young executing a double steal. Blalock's sacrifice fly and David Murphy's bases-loaded walk gave Texas a 2-0 lead.
"I tried pounding the fastball but I just couldn't locate it." Davies said. "I should have gone to the breaking ball. I needed to make the adjustment a little sooner. It went a little too far in the first inning."
Jacobs' two-run homer in the second tied it at 2-2.
Kinsler's homer in the second put Texas ahead 3-2, but DeJesus' RBI single in the third tied it at 3.
Buck's RBI single in the fourth gave the Royals a 4-3 lead, and DeJesus' solo homer in the fifth made it 5-3.
Meanwhile, Davies settled in after Kinsler's homer, retiring 14 of the next 16 batters.

A DAY OF RICH TRADITION
KU's commencement practices date back more than 100 years in school history
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
rburchfield@kansan.com
Kansas is a university ripe with tradition year-round — the Rock Chalk chant, waving the wheat and the alma mater to name a few. Yet at no time of year are some KU traditions more in bloom than at the peak of spring, and the peak of graduating seniors' college careers — commencement.
From the University's first commencement in 1873 to now, here is a brief glimpse of some KU commencement traditions.
FROM THEN TO NOW
"I think these traditions are special because it unites Jayhawks throughout generations," said Michael Gray, Buhler senior. "Walking through the Campanile, you're experiencing something that your parents, and maybe your grandparents, experienced. It unites Jayhawks throughout history."
Photo by Matt Bristow/KANSAN
1873 marked the first commencement at the University. Graduates made a procession from "the old building" — the first building ever built on campus, also called Old North College, which sat where Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall and Corbin Hall sit today — to "the new building".
the second building ever built on campus, then called University Hall and later called the original Fraser Hall. On the program that day was a prayer, the awarding of the diplomas to the graduating class, music, announcements and a benediction.
WALKING DOWN THE HILL
At the University, students don't ask, "Are you going to commence-ment?" said Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for student success.
"They say, 'Are you going to walk?'" Nemeth Tuttle said. "It has taken on such a symbolic thing in everybody's mind. There is something very special about it."
KU Info director Curtis Marson said Memorial Stadium wasn't built until 1921, so the walk down the hill couldn't have occurred before that. Nemeth Tuttle said she had seen film of students walking into the stadium from as far back as the 1930s.
"It's a long established tradition," Nemeth Tuttle said. "Obviously, the size of the stadium — it's the only venue of that size, because remember, at that time we didn't have Allen Fieldhouse. We had
SEE TRADITIONS ON PAGE 3A
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle's other favorite commencement traditions
- Not having an invited commencement speaker.
  "It's symbolic that the walk is graduation, and that it's less important to have a very spectacular speaker." Nemeth Tuttle said.
■ The faculty lining the walkways of the path down to Memorial Stadium.
"It's really neat to see students see faculty that they know, and stop and shake their hand or hug." Nemeth Tuttle said. "It's a very nice tradition about relationships developed that are very positive between faculty and students."
- When students dress up their commencement regalia.
"The student nurses have had inflated rubber gloves above their heads," Nemeth Tuttle said. "It's not meant to demean the process, it just makes it more individualized." She also said fine arts students have painted their gowns, and Engineering students once brought a concrete canoe down the hill with them.

Kansan revisits last year's promises

NEW POOL — POOR
United Students said it wanted to add a new pool to the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. The coalition planned to pay for the addition with money from the Athletics Department, donations from KU alumni and a short-term expansion of the Women's and Non-Revenue Sports fee.
While Adam McGonigle, student body president, said progress had been made on developing plans for the pool, he said the pool would not be built on schedule because of the current economic climate.
"I think it would have been irresponsible to move forward with that timeline, but we were able to preserve the work we did so that in two years, when we're hopefully in a better financial situation, we will absolutely be able to move forward," McGonigle said.
CAMPUS PARKING MODERATE
The coalition also presented a plan to offer free parking on the top level of the Kansas Union parking garage to students without passes after 5 p.m. and on basketball game days.
No changes have been made to parking in the garage, but McGonigle said other park-

'Kiss-in' raises awareness of same-sex couples
Queers and Allies event encourages students to make out on lawn for Gay Pride Week
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
From Strong Hall lawn, Sara Thompson and other members of Queers and Allies invited passers-by along Jayhawk Boulevard to join them Monday for a kiss-in, where same-sex and heterosexual couples made out on couches and blankets to demonstrate gay pride.
Thompson, Salina senior, said
she felt the kiss-in from previous years did not make the right statement, so she said she decided to move it from Wescoe Beach to Strong Hall lawn, include more couples and actively invite students to join, with a megaphone and "mood music."
"I'm proud to have organized such a blatantly in-your-face kind of event," Thompson said. "Making out for the sake of activism isn't

Thompson said the goal of the kiss-in was to make a statement about homosexual relationships and public displays of affection. She said that because homosexual public displays of affection were

Who's Whoat KU
Laura Drees, Lawrence freshman
BY DANA MEREDITH
dmeredith@kansan.com
Unlike many freshmen, Laura Drees didn't have to move far away after choosing a college; her destination lay practically in her backyard.
"I looked at a lot of places like Cornell, American University, Washington University," Drees, Lawrence freshman, said. "KU just sort of happened to me."
Matt Bristow/KANSAN
A double major in English and psychology, Drees liked the amount of work she could accomplish at the University for her money.
"Financial concerns were a big factor in my college decision," Drees said. "But the programs here are really good too."
with her family just before starting kindergarten — was another important reason why she chose to attend the University. Drees recommends high school students don't overlook colleges in their hometowns.
Drees' familiarity with the Lawrence area — she moved here
"You shouldn't let the fear of sameness keep you from going to college in the town you grew up in." Drees said. "It'll be the same but different."
1980
Despite her family owning a home in Lawrence, Drees decided to live in the residence halls to add variety to her educational experience and break the cycle of going from her home to school and back.
Laura Drees, Lawrence freshman, is a 2008 graduate from Lawrence Free State High School. She was one of 16 named Chancellors Club Students for 2008-09.
One part of her life that has remained the same, however, is Drees' love for fine arts, a love she believes stems partly from being surrounded by Lawrence's bustling at some.
"I did band and choir and drama; they were a huge part of my life in junior high and high school," Drees said. "I tried to give up band my first semester here, but I missed it too much."
Drees also believes that Lawrence's accepting atmosphere has made her a more open-minded person.
"Lawrence is an obnoxious little city that prides itself on being forward-thinking." Drees said. "I guess that's a good thing to learn when you're growing up"
graduate career, Drees isn't sure how much time remains for her in Lawrence but hasn't ruled out the possibility of spending more time here.
"Having never gone anywhere else and experienced anything new, I fear that I might be limiting myself if I go to graduate school at KU. If I went here for grad school, then I might not ever come back," Drees said. "And I would like to come back; I like it here in Lawrence."

TRADITIONS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Hoch Auditorium, which was somewhat limited in seating, so for thousands of guests the stadium became the only place to really do it."
Marsh called walking down the hill the primary KU commencement tradition. According to the KU Info Web site, there are two different trails that graduates take down the hill. Going down the west side are students graduating from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as master's and Ph.D. students. It takes a graduate about 300 steps to get down the hill. For those taking the second trail down the hill on the east side — students from professional schools — it is a little bit of a longer walk, with about 330 steps to get into the stadium. The difference? Those on the west side have no stairs to combat, while those on the east side start their walk with 28 stairs.
THE CAMPANILE CURSE
Nemeth Tuttle said the Campanile was constructed in 1950 and that she thought the tradition of walking through the tower began sometime soon after that. She said she couldn't remember the curse of the Campanile — that if students walk through the tower before commencement they will never graduate — from her undergraduate years in the late 1960s and the early 1970s, and guessed that this tradition started sometime in the 1970s.
Marsh said the curse of the Campanile was one of the University's traditions that did not
have a formal beginning.
"There are a lot of them like this, like waving the wheat," Marsh said. "There are traditions that are just extraordinarily important to the KU experience that are hard to pinpoint as far as origins."
The walk through the Campanile — built to honor the 277 students and faculty who died in World War II — is extremely special to graduating students. Nemeth Tuttle said. She remembered her own expe-
fiance graduating from the University with her doctorate degree in 1996, when much construction was being done around the Campanile. Because of this, she said, graduates were not allowed
to walk through the Campanile at commencement.
"This created very bad feelings," Nemeth Tuttle said. "It's a great example of a tradition becoming so strong that students got quite upset that they didn't get to do that."
"...while we're here,
we feel like we're part
of a very big,very
special thing."
THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADITION
Nemeth Tuttle found a way, though — one of her relatives at the time was Baby Jay, she said, and as Baby Jay led her through the crowd, "the seas parted" and she got to walk through the tower after all.
Nemeth Tuttle said she remembered a story from last year that
CURTIS MARSH KU Info director
showed the importance of commencement traditions to graduates. One student graduating from the School of Nursing had a grandfather who graduated from the University decades ago, she said. The student's grandfather did not have enough money to purchase the graduation regalia back then, so he did not walk down the hill.
"They worked it out so he could go down the hill with her last year," Nemeth Tuttle said. "It's a symbol
of connectedness — no matter when you graduate, you can connect with it."
Commencement is especially an occasion to feel connected to the traditions of the University, Marsh said.
"You go to commencement and realize that they have been doing the procession since 1873, and the fact that we hold fast to tradition means, while we're here, we feel like we're part of a very big, very special thing." Marsh said.
He said the tradition of commencement made him feel closer to those who had gone before him and those who would come after him.
"Everyone wants to feel a sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves." Marsh said. "Having an institution with lots of very special traditions makes you feel as though you're a part of something much bigger than you."

KISS-IN (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Juliana Tran, Dallas senior, and Zach Holden, Topeka senior, engage in a prolonged kissing session during Monday afternoon's kiss-in, sponsored by Queens and Allies. Heterosexual couples were encouraged to join same-sex couples on the lawn of Strong Hall as a sign of support for gay pride week.
not as readily accepted or tolerated as those of a heterosexual couple, same-sex couples could feel discomfort or other negative feelings about participating in public displays of affection.

"The kiss-in is basically supposed to be a big, loud 'Hey!' We here and we're queer and we're not apologizing for it," Thompson said.
Ryan McGeeney/KANSAN
Abigail Bockus, Manhattan, junior, was working at a table on Wescoe Beach for Women's Transitional Care Services and got a clear view of the kisin- as well as the reactions of people who passed it along the street.
Zach Stites, Lawrence sophomore, leans down over Andrew Hemdon, Kansas City freshman, during Monday afternoon's kiss-in.
"I think it's a pretty prominent way to send out your message," Bockus said. "I don't think they're trying to offend anyone though."
Bockus said she heard a variety of reactions to the event, both positive and negative.
"I think that you should be comfortable with your life choice and you shouldn't be embarrassed by it," Bockus said. "I feel that the people that would be offended by it are the one's uncomfortable with their sexuality."
and president of Queers and Allies, said the kiss-in used to be a Quesers and Allies tradition, but that they had stopped doing it two years ago because of a lack of interest. The kiss-in used to be held at a table on Wescoe Beach with just one couple kissing. Campbell said there wasn't much of a reaction from people to the old kiss-ins because of the underwhelming effort on Queers and Allies' part. He said he was com-
fident that this year would revive the tradition. Though the kiss-in may seem fun and sexual, it's actually rooted in activism, Campbell said. "This is one more way to show that queer and heterosexuals are remarkably similar" Campbell said. "We eat, we sleep and we even like to fool around."

BOSTON — Boston police say they have a man in custody in connection with the death last week in a luxury hotel of a woman who advertised massage services on Craigslist.
death also may be connected to the attempted robbery Thursday in Warwick, R.I., of an exotic dancer by a man responding to an ad she had posted on Craigslist.

ANZA, Calif. — Authorities have arrested a Southern California man after determining that a dead horse on his property had been struck repeatedly in the head with a sledge hammer and decapitated with a chain saw.
Deputies say the horse had actually been struck on the head and decapitated. They arrested the 64-year-old Ziniku on an investigation of animal cruelty charge after finding the animal's head had been fed to his dogs.
said Monday that Jack Ziniuk summoned deputies to his Anisa home Sunday and told them his horse was having seizures after being attacked by dogs and needed to be put down.

"I think that was one of our bigger accomplishments," McGonagle said. "It was something that didn't cost money and opened up a vital service to students."
IMPROVED ENROLLMENT SYSTEM — POOR
The coalition said it wanted to improve the enrollment system by providing additional information such as textbook prices, prerequisites, degree requirements, labs and open class times as well as offering a drag and drop system. United Students also said it wanted professors to provide midterm grades to students so they would know where they stood in their classes.

This year, Gillaspie said he had already received all necessary funding and had made arrangements for the event, though an official date had not been set. He said he expected the event to occur annually.
McGonigle said that because the University's contract with its enrollment program wouldn't expire for several years, it was not yet possible to make these changes. He said Michael Gillaspie, Ashland senior and student body vice president, worked to compile research on how to improve the current system, to provide to the administration when the current contract expired.
WIRELESS INTERNET IN HOUSING — MODERATE
McGonigle and United Students originally said implementing wireless Internet through residence halles was a project that could be completed without a student tee increase. After taking office, McGonigle found that this was not the case.
LIGHTING, SECURITY CAMERAS POOR
McGonagle said that as wireless technology became cheaper it would be more feasible to shift money spent on the current system to wireless Internet.
During last year's election, Gillaspia said he would make it a priority to start a free self-defense program available to women on campus.
United Students said it wanted to use money from the Campus Safety Advisory Board reserve account to increase lighting behind Strong Hall and in places with high student populations on and off campus, such as Emery Road and Tennessee Street.
Jennifer Wamelink, associate director of student housing, said all residence halls had some access, but only in shared spaces. For some halls this was the main lobby and for others this included floor lobbies.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUILDINGS — POOR
who chairs the Campus Safety Advisory Board, said the board would begin scheduling meetings within the next week to work with the School of Engineering and the City of Lawrence to address lighting needs.
United Students said it wanted to reduce energy use in buildings such as the Kansas Union, recreation center and Watkins. It said it wanted to require that staff use fluorescent light bulbs, shut off computers at night and turn down air conditioning or heating at night.
"There's definitely a good chance that this promise will at least get addressed seriously before the end of the school year," Zacharias said.
SELF-DEFENSE — GOOD
Felix Zacharias, Wichita junior.
"I don't think we made as much progress as we wish we would have," McGonigle said. "Frankly a lot of the easiest things to do, like use fluorescent light bulbs, are already done. Watkins and the Union, for instance, and the recreation center have been very proactive about reducing their own costs and have already implemented those practices."
McGonagle said that in the future he would recommend Student Senate better integrate its efforts with those of the state and nation as a whole.
Las Vegas Sun reporter Alexandra Berzon calls her parents to share news of the Las Vegas Sun's win of the Pulitzer Prize for public service for exposing a high death rate among construction workers on the Las Vegas Strip. Berzon learned of her achievement Monday.

Pulitzers awarded to newspapers for breaking top stories of 2009
CITY OF NEW YORK
Associated Press
BY DEEPTI HAJELA
NEW YORK — The Las Vegas Sun won the Pulitzer Prize for public service Monday for exposing a high death rate among construction workers on the Las Vegas Strip. The New York Times received five Pulitizers, including one for breaking the call-girl scandal that destroyed Gov. Eliot Spitzer's career.
The Detroit Free Press won in the local reporting category for obtaining a trove of sexually explicit text messages that brought down the city's mayor. The judges also awarded a Pulitzer in local reporting to the East Valley Tribune of Mesa, Ariz., for revealing how a sheriff's focus on immigration enforcement endangered investigations of other crimes.
The awards were announced after one of the most depressing years the newspaper industry has ever seen, with layoffs, bankruptics and closings brought on by the recession and an exodus of readers and advertisers to the Internet.
"These are tough times for America's newspapers, but amid the gloomy talk, the newspaper winners and the finalists are heartening examples of the high-quality journalism that can be found in all parts of the United States," said Sig Gissler, administrator of the prizes. "It's quite notable that the watchdog function of journalism is underscored in this year's awards. The watchdog still barks, and the watchdog still bites."
The only other multiple winner was the St. Petersburg Times. It was honored for national reporting for fact-checking what the candidates said during the 2008 White House campaign, and for feature writing
for Lane DeGregory's story on a neglected girl who was unable to talk or feed herself.
The presidential race also required in the Pulitzer awarded in commentary: Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post was honored for his columns on Barack Obama's historic run for the White House.
No Pulitzers were awarded for coverage of the biggest financial crisis since the Depression. And despite a rule change that allowed online-only news organizations to compete for Pulitzers for the first time, none of the 65 entries won any prizes.
However, the board said online content played a role in several of the winning entries.
In a measure of what the recession and the Internet have done to the newspaper industry, the Detroit paper's award came less than a month after it cut back home delivery to three days a week.
Similarly, the Pulitzer for editorial cartooning went to Steve Breen
of The San Diego Union-Tribune, which was sold last month to a private equity firm after its advertising plunged 40 percent since 2006 and it forced employees to take unpaid furloughs.
The Las Vegas newspaper was cited for the "courageous reporting" of Alexandra Berzon, whose stories about lax enforcement of safety rules on the Las Vegas Strip led to changes in policy and improved workplace conditions.
The death toll on the Strip had reached nine in 16 months as casino giants undertook a $32 billion building boom, including the largest private commercial development in U.S. history. Berzon described how the rush to build quickly and at highly congested work sites led to safety shortcuts that contributed to deaths.
The awards also follow a difficult year for The New York Times, which is dealing with the burden of a heavy debt, forcing the distinguished paper to ask employees for pay cuts and seek an infusion of cash from a Mexican billionaire.

Group all in for Web betting
Alliance wants to get online gambling legalized and regulated
BY FREDERIC J. FROMMER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Poker Players Alliance is betting $3 million that it can overturn an Internet gambling ban, or at least carve out an exemption that would legalize and regulate online poker.
The alliance, chaired by former Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R-N.Y.) said it plans to spend that much on lobbying in this session of Congress. The group gets its money from the Interactive Gaming Council, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based trade association for online casinos, as well as from its poker player members.
The alliance is up against some tough competition. The National Football League says gambling threatens the integrity of its games and has made preserving the Internet ban a priority in Washington. Last year, the league hired a full-time lobbyist and started a political action committee to make campaign donations.
At issue is the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which Congress passed in 2006. The law aimed to curb online gambling by prohibiting financial institutions from accepting payments from credit cards, checks or electronic fund transfers for online wagers.
At least half of the $16 billion Internet gambling industry, which is largely hosted overseas, is estimated to be fueled by American bettors.
In the last congressional session, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee pushed unsuccessfully to repeal the ban. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) plans to try again soon, a committee spokeswoman said.
The colorful and outspoken D'Amato was a natural choice to lead the Poker Players Alliance, even though it was his former GOP colleagues who had pushed the 2006 gambling ban. As a senator, D'Amato organized poker games with staffers and lobbyists in his office.
"Wed order pizza or Chinese, and we would play until the session was over. Sometimes it would end at 10:30, 11," he recalled in an interview with The Associated Press. "And maybe wed play an hour or two later. It was a lot of fun. And in those days, we were even allowed to smoke cigars in federal buildings."
D/Amato lost his re-election race to Democrat Chuck Schumer in 1998. Since then a lot of poker playing has moved to the Internet.

Joseph Chigona, Registrar of the High Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal, said the case will come before three judges from the Supreme Court of Appeal on May 4.
"As with all court cases involving infants, this one will be in chambers, not in an open court," Chigona said.
Madonna has said she still wants to adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James.

Malawi requires prospective parents to live in the country for 18 to 24 months while child welfare authorities assess their suitability — a rule that was not applied when Madonna was allowed to take David to London in 2006.
The singer has already adopted a son, David, from Malawi, a poor country in southern Africa.
Madonna's Malawian lawyer, Alan Chinula, said he was hopeful the appeal would succeed.
The judge in the lower court said Madonna's previous adoption was the only case in which the residency requirement had been waived, and said she was concerned that doing so again could set a precedent that could jeopardize children.
"We believe the lower court judge erred by basing her judgment on an archaic law of over 50 years ago," he said.
The judge said she was not questioning Madonna's intentions, and praised the work the singer's charity has done to feed, educate and provide medical care for Malawi's orphans.

YEAH, HE'S DEFINITELY GOTTA STOP
Lil Wayne takes wrong turn with new excursion into rock
As you may or may not have heard, the prodigious rapper known as Lil Wayne has recently started to change his tune. His latest album, "Rebirth," which is due for release June 9, is officially being categorized and marketed as a rock album. That's right, a rock album. "Weezy," as fans affectionately call him, has already released the album's first single, "Prom Queen."
Before I begin my critique of Weezy's latest choice in artistic direction, I would like to avoid any possible confusion: I am not a hater. I am indeed a fan of Lil Wayne and have been for years. The man has been ghostwriting for veteran rappers on platinum singles since he was 15, and he has certainly paid his dues.
Lil Wayne's style of rhyme and sheer presence on the scene has been irrefutably one of the most influential in the hip-hop world throughout the past decade, and there is no doubt that he has played an integral role in the development of the hip-hop identity as it stands today. I have a great deal of respect for Lil Wayne both as a lyricist and as an icon.
That said, this is also precisely why I have a problem with the upcoming release of "Rebirth" — the man appears to be jeopardizing his place in hip-hop history as one of the best ever, and right in the middle of his prime. My concern lies with his adventurous attempt to infuse his own unmistakable lyrical
NOTES FROM A HIP-HOP HEAD BEN COLDHAM
I have only been able to listen to three tracks from Birthir so far, and it just doesn't seem to fit. In fact, I am brave enough to say it is just plain terrible.
Granted, I have heard only three songs, and one would hope it might get better as the album progresses, but these are among the marquee tracks being promoted on the album. They include the aforementioned single "Prom Queen," as well as "Amazing Love" and "Ay Man," which features the popular producer Pharrell Williams.
All these tracks noticeably attempt to break down the barriers between the worlds of hip-hop and rock through their instrumental and lyrical structure, but it feels forced and unnatural. Weezy flat and uninspired over the heavy metal riffs, and when he sings it is undeniably just awful.
Lil Wayne is a rock star — there is no denying this. And I know that as an innovative and highly influential artist, Weezy has the right to pursue the creative materialization of any of his interpretations of a genre or hybrid of genres he so pleases. My argument is that he appears to

be making the album for all the wrong reasons, as if he's doing it just to prove he can, and it shows in the music.
It seems Lil Wayne has fallen so far into the sex, drugs and rock'n' roll lifestyle that he has deemed it necessary to use much more aggressive and unconventional vehicle for his general and perennial message of "I'm so ill."
But although using rock as his new medium has given Weezy an opportunity to display his creativity, he is also running the risk of losing many of his devoted fans.
My hope, for the sake of Lil Wayne's career and hip-hop's well-being, is that "Rebirth" is only a sidebar in Weezy's creative life and that he will soon be back behind the mic delivering masterful verses over a hard-hitting, repetitive loop once again. Peace.

Go green to spend green Sustainability efforts cruising toward consumerism; environmentalists should rethink course of movement
BY LAUREN KEITH
I attended the Potter Lake Unplugged Sustainability Festival on Sunday, and I'm greatly appreciative of the students and organizations that made this event a huge success, including many of my close friends, fellow students and organizations I've been involved with in the past.
It seems impossible for students to think about what our lives will be like tomorrow or a month from now, let alone 50 or 75 years from now. Maybe it's this inability to see beyond breakfast that is preventing the student environmental movement from moving forward.
Everywhere we look, including at Sunday's Sustainability Festival, we see canvas bags, recycling and compact fluorescent light bulbs touted as the way to solve the climate crisis. We see the top 10 ways to go green and clichéd phrases about "going green to save green" in light of the economy. And, unfortunately, at the Sustainability Festival, we also saw disposable cups, bags and printed papers being handed out as well.
It's time that we start thinking differently about sustainability. Environmentalists have attempted
But I don't know whether this festival exemplified the changes that must be made for students and the University to be truly sustainable.
to go mainstream by tapping into the growing consumer movement.
If this is what the environmental movement has become, I can't call myself an environmentalist anymore. I'm tired of talking about light bulbs. I'm tired of giving people green tips so they can save green. I realize this is where many people enter the environmental conversation, but the concept of sustainability encompasses so much more than simply buying
new stuff. Sustainability requires a gearshift inside each of us to change the way we live and the way we think about our environment.
The climate crisis is a challenge humanity can hardly fathom, so we must rethink every aspect of what we're doing.
Earth Day is Wednesday, so I challenge you to take time to think about how we can live sustainably when the time comes that all of us already have canvas bags and energy-saving computers.
The Sustainability Festival, my fellow environmentally aware students and the numerous environmental organizations on campus are on the right track, but we must keep the conversation moving forward instead of stuck in our business-as-usual rut of consumption.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A single glass kills more easily than Camels do
A recent editorial, "Statewide smoking ban would benefit Kansans," encouraged the legislature to pass a statewide ban on smoking in public places. The government's attempts to tackle the public health degradation caused by tobacco use is noble, but its implementation has become authoritarian, hypocritical, and elitist.
The continued tax increases on cigarette smokers is reverse class warfare. It is a relentless attack on the poor: More than half of all American smokers make less than $36,000 a year. It is a regressive tax that takes heavily from the poor to fund health care while removing the tax responsibility from high-income individuals, as only 12 percent of individuals with an income of more than $90,000 are smokers (according to a U.S. News and World Report survey).
Anti-smoking measures also unfairly discriminate between smokers and alcohol users. For example, the state of Texas has a relatively high cigarette tax for a Southern state, in contrast to a relatively low level of taxation on alcoholic products. The taxation on a pack of Marlboro Reds alone is roughly $3, which, with a pre-tax price of roughly $3.50, is an 85 percent taxation. A six-pack of beer, such as Coors Light, averages about $6 with an .85 tax. That's a 15 percent tax on beer.
The dangers of cigarettes are

placed heavily upon the user, not the bystander, whereas alcohol is the opposite. Close to 13,000 were killed in drunk driving accidents last year, and thousands more are maimed in accidents, families are broken by deaths, and a multitude of sexual crimes are aided by the effects of alcohol. No one has his or her family plowed down on the highway because someone smoked too much.
Read The Kansan's April 17 editorial in support of a statewide smoking ban at: http://www.kansan.com/stories/2009/apr/17/editorial_statewide/?opinion
The draconian laws against smokers need to be quelled or at least equally leveled upon the alcohol user, perhaps by methods such as introducing the S12 six-pack, closing bars on weekends to control peak hours and prevent drunk driving, limiting the quantity of liquor that can be purchased at one time, or imposing breathalyzer tests before you can put your car in drive. Once cigarettes are run off the earth, what substance will be run off next? Be careful in what you wish for, it may come true.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Why I'm against the statewide smoking ban
The economic effects of a statewide smoking ban are obvious. Bars and taverns lose the business of smokers, which, in some cases, is enough to close down the establishment. According to the Department of Labor, the unemployment rate in Kansas for March 2009 was 6.5 percent, the highest in 26 years. Every business in Kansas needs customers more than ever now. A statewide smoking ban would only further handcuff bars and taverns across the state in their fight to stay above water during this recession.
It could be easily argued that when it comes to statewide smoking bans, typical 18- to 22-year-old college students are the ones most affected. Smoking is a habit often picked up during a person's college years. And while Lawrence's smoking ban has already been law for half a decade, I do not think a statewide smoking ban is what the state of Kansas needs right now.
More important than the economic effects are the health effects. The effects that smoking has on a smoker are proven. The effects of secondhand smoke, however, are extremely debatable. According to the Health News Digest, "The results do not support a causal relation between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco-related mortality, although they do not rule out a small effect. The association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and
On a personal note, I am a social smoker. On average, I smoke probably twice a month, I won't ever be picking up the habit of being a regular smoker. My solution is simple. If a bar owner chooses to accommodate smokers, that's his or her right. If a bar owner chooses to keep his establishment a nonsmoking place, that is equally his or her right.
One last defense against a smoking ban deals with a core American value: freedom. If a bar owner wants to cater to smokers in his or her privately owned establishment, what gives a state government the right to deny that bar owner? Smoking is legal. The government cannot force a bar to sell only American beer. The fact that the government can force bars and taverns to be non-smoking is just as easily out of line.
lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed."
-Michael Spatz is a junior from Ellicott City, Md.
A few months ago, I saw an anti-smoking poster on campus. One of the ways it stated to avoid picking up the habit was to not associate with smokers. This disgusted me. It gave the impression that smokers are less than human and need to be completely isolated from non-smokers. Smoking bans have already hit my home state and my college town. I can only hope for significant resistance in the 29 states, Kansas included for now, that they haven't reached.

Horses may have been poisoned
BY BRIAN SKOLOFF
Associated Press
MEDIDA DE MAYORA
Flowers lie at a makeshift memorial outside of Lechua Caracas Inc. in Wellington, Fla. The horses from the Venezuelan-owned team Lechua Caracas got sick just before a tournament Sunday, collapsing and dying on the scene or while being treated or transported, officials said.
WELLINGTON. Fla. — The sudden death of 21 polo horses at a championship event in Florida may have been caused by a toxin in the animals' feed, vitamins or supplements, veterinarians said Monday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The horses from the Venezuelan-owned team Lechuza Caracas became ill just before a tournament match Sunday, collapsing and dying on the scene or while being treated at vet clinics or transported, officials said.
The deaths shocked this affluent equestrian and golfing community in central Palm Beach County, where the International Polo Club Palm Beach hosts the U.S. Open Polo Championship every year
"This was devastating. It was heartbreaking, to see that many horses get sick all at once," said John Wash, president of club operations.
Dr. Scott Swerdlin, a veterinarian at Palm Beach Equine Clinic near the polo grounds, treated one of
the sick horses. He said it appeared the animals died of heart failure caused by some kind of toxin that could have been in tainted food, vitamins or supplements, or by some combination of all three that caused a toxic reaction.
"A combination of something with an error in something that was given to these horses caused this toxic reaction," Swerdlin told reporters.
Toxicology tests were pending Monday.
The 60-horse team is owned by Venezuelan banker Victor Vargas but most of the horses and players are Argentine, Swerdlin said. The team travels most of the year.
Swerdlin said the 21 horses together were worth up to $2 million.
"It would take 10 years to build that string back up," he said.
The International Polo Club said in a statement that polo horses were thoroughbreds who often get used in play into their mid-teens and were frequently rotated during a match.
Swerdlin also said the Lechuza team was considered among the best of the eight teams entered in the 105th U.S. Open, which started April 3 and is slated to end with a final match Sunday.
"They were the team to beat," he said. "They have some of the greatest polo players in the world."
The Lechuza Caracas horses
were being unloaded from their trailers Sunday afternoon when two collapsed and others acted dizzy and disoriented, according to the International Polo Club Palm Beach. Seven horses died at the scene and the rest while being treated elsewhere or en route to medical care. All the horses that fell ill have died.

Hawking hospitalized following bad infection
BY ROBERT BARR Associated Press
LONDON—StephenHawking, the British mathematician and physicist famed for his work on black holes, was rushed to a hospital Monday and was seriously ill, Cambridge University said.
Hawking has been fighting a chest infection for several weeks and was being treated at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, the university city northeast of London, the university said.
"Professor Hawking is very ill," said Gregory Hayman, the university's head of communications. "He is undergoing tests. He has been unwell for a couple of weeks."
Later in the afternoon, Hayman said Hawking was "now comfortable but will be kept in the whos府 overnight."
The illness had caused Hawking to cancel an appearance at Arizona State University on April 6.
Hawking, 67, gained renown for his work on black holes, and has remained active despite being diagnosed at 21 with ALS, (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), an incurable degenerative disorder also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
For some years, Hawking has been almost entirely paralyzed, and he communicates through an electronic voice synthesizer activated by his fingers.
Hawking was involved in the search for the great goal of physics — a "unified theory" — which would resolve contradictions between Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which describes the laws of gravity that govern the motion of large objects like planets, and the Theory of Quantum Mechanics, which deals with the world of subatomic particles.

"A complete, consistent unified theory is only the first step: our goal is a complete understanding of the events around us, and of our own existence," he wrote in his best-selling book, "A Brief History of Time," published in 1988.
KANSAN COUPONS
In a more accessible sequel "The Universe in a Nutzshell," published in 2001, Hawking ventured into concepts like supergravity, naked singularities and the possibility of a universe with 11 dimensions.
He announced last year that he would step down from his post as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a title once held by the great 18th-century physicist Isaac Newton. However, the university said Hawking intended to continue working as Emeritus Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.
"Professor Hawking is a remarkable colleague. We all hope he will be amongst us again soon," said Peter Haynes, head of the university's Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.

From left: freshman outfieldier Jason Brunansky, Redshirt sophomore pitcher Brett Bochy, and senior catcher Buck Afenir all have fathers or uncles who were players in Major League Baseball.

Afenir's uncle's played four seasons of Major League Baseball.
Baseball roots run deep for Jayhawks
Family ties to the MLB play a big part in the lives of three team members
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
While it was a great experience, the now-freshman outfielder for Kansas took it as nonchalantly as fielding a fly ball, even when he met perennial All-Stars Torii Hunter, Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau.
In the summer of 2007, Jason Brunansky was preparing for his final year of high school. He did something not out of the ordinary; he went on a trip with his father. Except this wasn't just any summer vacation. Brunansky and his father headed to Minneapolis to celebrate the anniversary of the Minnesota Twins' 1987 World Series Championship. Brunansky's father, Tom Brunansky, played left field for the Twins in the series.
"I got to meet all of his teammates and it was quite interesting to get their ideas on the current
status of the MLB," Brunansky said. "I got to go into the clubhouse to see all the current Twins players, it was cool."
Jason Brunansky is one of three players who have close family connections to Major League Baseball. Brunansky is joined by junior relief pitcher Brett Bochy, whose father, Bruce Bochy, is the manager for the San Francisco Giants and senior catcher Buck Alenir, whose uncle, Troy Afenir, played professional baseball for Oakland Athletics for the majority of his short career.

they are like 'Oh my gosh, a professional baseball player, that's amazing!" Jason said. "I just kind of got used to it. I mean he's my dad; it's funny looking how people react to it."
Brunansky and Afenit were very young when their respective family members retired from the game, so
neither of them had to deal with a father or uncle constantly being away from the family. Bochy's father, on the other hand, took over as manager of the San Diego Padres in 1995. He had retired from the game in 1987, the same year Brett was born.
Despite this, though, Brett said he never felt like playing baseball was a chore growing up.
"He definitely helped a lot," Brett said. "He didn't make it an issue to force it on me, but he definitely helped out in my path to getting where I am today."
Brunansky said he feels he wouldn't be the player he is right now without the lessons that his father taught him about the game and life.

COMMENTARY
Perkins deserves his bonus but it needs to be reworked
It is easy to forget where the money for athletics comes from. It's far easier to hop on a bandwagon, disenfranchised that the University has "given" Athletics millions of dollars again, instead of spending it elsewhere.
The Journal-World's editorial had plenty of spice, calling Perkins "controversial" and saying that he could walk away from Kansas with "who knows what other goodies," but made no allusion as to why he is "controversial" and what those "goodies" may be.
I knew that reports last week of Athletics Director Lew Perkins getting an additional $750,000 tacked onto his "retention bonus" would fire up colorful reactions from local media and residents. I was pleasantly surprised at times and disappointed at others.
It also misses when stating that the bonus hits "particularly hard" amidst University budget cuts. The

bonus, like the money that funds the construction and renovation of athletic facilities, is privately accumulated through revenues and donations. But in the same breath, when the editorial cites a recent temporary suspension by Athletics of faculty and staff ticket discounts, we have legitimate reason for displeasure.
Furthermore, the editorial scores when it critiques the bonus itself — which is what should be this conversation's focus. The $750,000 is being added to a preexisting $1.3 million retention bonus that will be payable Aug. 1 if Perkins stays through June 30. If left unchanged, the bonus could allow Perkins to walk away this fall with a $2.05 million bonus for

Draft gurus consistently flop
COMMENTARY
The annual coverage and analysis of the NFL Draft is always good for a few laughs and the realization that yes, we all could be doing worse at our jobs.
In a ritual of high comedy, draft "experts" tirelessly scout college players and devote obscene amounts of time compiling mock drafts. Some go as far as projecting every pick in the seven-round draft. And after they

Mel Kiper Jr. successfully foretold just seven of the 31 first round selections in 2008 — they inexplicable
return to grade each team's draft class.
How stupid do they think we are? Well, we actually are plenty stupid. After all, we are responsible for the growth of the mock draft industry from a select few to hundreds of professional reporters and couch-potato bloggers. Kansas City Star sports columnist Joe Posnanski pored over 200 mock drafts last weekend. He may not recover.
Among the forecasts he read was a $19.95(!) Pro Football Weekly magazine. Several other media outlets also charge for their

predictions that have never been
remotely accurate and never will
be can be had by all.
Coldhardfootballfacts.com analyzes the predictions of six "experts" for last year's first round and found that the group
— including Kiper, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer and Scoots Inc.'s Todd McShay — had just a 19.9 percent success rate. After taking a closer
look, it discovered that Miami had signed offensive lineman Jake Long four days before the draft, giving everyone one guaranteed

prediction. It was then obvious that defensive lineman Chris Long would go to St. Louis at No. 2, making the actual success rate 14.4 percent. And upon even further analysis, they found that Oakland and Dallas had made no
McShay
attempt to hide their desire to draft Arkansas running backs Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. Outside of these four picks, Coldhardfootballfacts.com's study found that these selected "pundits" had correctly predicted just 9.9 percent of the remaining first round picks.
And so when these pundits/ gurus/prophets/experts fall on their faces as per usual this year
— despite devoting every waking day of the year in preparation — they will immediately grade each draft class and predict the future performances of each player with equally poor results.
Rather than take the bait again, stop yourself and pick up a rag with a more rational approach, such as the April 13 Sporting News. It analyzes each team's position needs, dishes out a grade for five-year draft histories and features insight from college prospects and perspectives from previously-drafted pros.

A first-round knockout at the hands of Mauricio "Shogun" Rua — his fourth loss in his last five fights — effectively ended the career of the near 40-year-old Liddell. While I'd like to have seen Liddell and Randy Couture end their careers with a fourth and final fight against one another, Liddell hasn't been himself since his May 2007 knockout by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. In fact, three of his last four losses have been knockouts, including a devastating September 2008 knockout by current light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans.
In the end, much like in boxing, all fighters regress. It's human reality. And whether you're a fan or not, Liddell's contribution to the UFC's rise will be his enduring legacy.

BOSTON — American Kara Goucher ripped off the gloves she wore for the first 25 miles and threw them to the pavement.
The sprint was on.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kenya's Salina Kosgei outkicked Goucher and defending champion Dire Tune in the last mile of the Boston Marathon on Monday, going back and forth with Tune in the final blocks of Boylston Street to win the closest women's finish in event history.
Deriba Merga of Ethiopia raises his arms as he breaks the tape to tap in the 113th Boston Marathon Monday in Boston.
Ethiopia's Deriba Merga won the men's race, with Ryan Hall picking up another third place for the Americans — their best showing in more than 20 years.
"I've never experienced anything like this, and I've been in
the Rose Parade. So that's a pretty big deal," said Hall, who finished 10th in the Olympics and threw out the first pitch at a Red Sox game over the weekend.
"The bar's continuing to get raised, and I think it's time for Americans to step up and meet the challenge. It's just going to keep getting better and better and faster and faster. ... I know I have a lot to learn. But it's exciting."
Hall took the early lead with a blistering pace and was shoulder-to-shoulder with the leaders until they passed from Wellesley into Newton, with about 10 miles to go. Merga had pulled away by the bottom of Heartbreak Hill, winning in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 42 seconds — 50 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Daniel Rono of Kenya, with Hall another
8 seconds back.
Merga led much of the Olympic marathon last summer before he wilted in the Beijing heat and was passed in the last quarter-mile, finishing fourth.
His victory Monday gave Ethiopia its second in five years; Kenya had won in 16 of the past 18 years, and will have to be satisfied with a women's title — its seventh since the turn of the century.
"Boston is one of the biggest marathons in the world," Merga said. "Because of that, our people are very happy."

Goucher led the three women as they crossed above the MassPike into Kenmore Square with 1 mile to go, but the two Africans began to pull away from her as they dued. One year after Tune outkicked Alevtina Biktimirova to win by 2 seconds in what was then the closest women's finish ever, the Ethiopian traded places with Kosgei several times on the last long stretch to the tape.

The investigation is stemming from an April 5 altercation in the Jayhawker Towers parking lot in which Lueken was hospitalized with head injuries, including several lacerations when he was either struck by or fell from the hood of an SUV. Lueken was released from the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., in good condition on April 9 and did not appear at Kansas' spring game on April 11.

FAMILY (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
pass along to me from his experiences, that pretty much no one else could," Brunansky said.
One might think that because Afenir's tie to the MLB is his uncle, not his father, that he might not have had same kind of mentoring as the others. But that's far from the truth.
"We're a pretty tight-knit family," Afenir said. "He has the experience of being there, so having that kind of trust that whatever he says got him somewhere special anything he says I pretty much trust."
--ethic involved," Price said. "You understand how hard you have to work in the weight room. You have to understand that you have to go hit on your own in your own individual preparation time."
Looking back on previous rosters, it's become apparent that there always seems to be a couple of players on the team who have the same kind of relationship to the major leagues that Brunansky, Bochy, and Afenir have.
"I'm a big believer that if you grow up within a baseball family, you understand how to play the game within the game," Price said. "We try to find kids that are from coaching families and aren't afraid to compete in this conference."
Price said connections with former players and their dads bring quite a few of those players to to Kansas.
Is it a coincidence, or does coach Ritch Price look for this in his recruiting?
Most of the time, players from baseball families have a lot of the qualities that Price is looking for. He credits much of that to immersion in the sport.
"If you grow up in a baseball family, you understand the work
"I think it's contagious," Price said. "When other players see those kids working like that, they kind of fall in line and take the same routes to try to chase their dream of being a professional baseball player."
Price said he also appreciates the way they coexist with the rest of the players in the locker room and the effect that they have on team chemistry.
Brunansky said although it never specifically came up during his recruitment, he admires the effort Price puts into getting these kinds of players on the team.
"I don't think he looks for people with this background, but he finds it as an advantage to his program if he does get them," Brunansky said. "Since our dads are so connected with baseball, we have a bit of
"I don't think
advantage mentally when we come to play, so we know what's expected of us at this level before we even come here."
Afenir said. "He just knows that if you come from a good baseball family, chances are you're going to be a pretty good ballplayer."
Afenir shared similar reasons for why players who grow up with baseball in their family turn out so successful. He wouldn't go as far as to saying it is the be-all, end-all reason, but that it certainly helps.
--felt any extra pressure to play professionally. Brunansky started out the season as a reserve outfielder.
"I don't think it's so much as it is why it got us to where we're at,"
Being so close to the professional game, it would be easy to assume Brunansky, Bochy, and Afenir feel the burden of living up to their pedigrees. However, they said they didn't feel any pressure, and Brunansky keeps in close contact with his father.
"It's never been, 'you need to be him', or anything like that." Afenir said. "It always had been just what we like to do."
Brunansky said he stayed in constant contact with his father since he arrived at Kansas, and he never
"He's very proud of the progress I've made and he continues to support me," Brunansky said. "We always talk pretty much every night about what happens
Even if they don't feel the pressure to go pro, they still have a lot to contribute to Kansas' success this season.

overall, 8-7 in the Big 12, heading into tonight's game against Baker (16-27).
--see Brett's games, but they remain in constant contact.
BRETT BOCHY Junior pitcher
Brett and his family lived in San Diego, where his father managed the Padres, and it was quite an experience. Bochy spent as much time with his dad as possible, even on the road over the many baseball summers.
"It's been a fun ride, growing up and being able to be around him all the time." Bochy said. "It's definitely had its perks and it's played a big part to where I've gotten today."
Those perks included being able to travel across America, visiting major league parks and players, with Bruce just doing his job. It sounds like every Little Leaguer's dream, but for Brett, it was his life.
"Most kids don't get to be with their dad at work." Brett said with a smile. "I got to be with him everywhere he went most of the time when I was younger."
Like any college student, the distance between Brett and his father has taken its toll. With Bruce's job working him around the clock, even in the off-season, it's tough for him to travel to Lawrence and
"It's a little tougher being away from him a lot more; he doesn't get a chance to come out here and watch the games," Brett said. "I still get a chance to talk to him on a nightly basis."
--announcement?
After all the years that Tom Brunanis poured into the Twins organization, and that summer in 2007, the Twins would have to be Jason's favorite team, right? "I've got to go with the Red Sox," Jason said with a chuckle.
In Jason's defense, his father played with the Boston Red Sox towards the back end of his career. But don't think Tom Brunansky doesn't wish his son could change allegiances.
"My dad still likes the Twins' organization the most," Brunansky said. "How he considers playing the game the right way."

The Henrys have filed an appeal to the NCAA to let C.J. play immediately. There's no timetable for when that ruling could be released.

Adding more intrigue is the fact that C.J. originally committed to Kansas out of high school. C.J. chose Kansas in 2005 -
part of the same class as Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers and Julian Wright — before being drafted by the New York Yankees in the MLB Entry Draft.

No small man, Perkins is worth his weight in cash. Since arriving in June 2003, Perkins has presided over an $8 million increase in donations to the Williams Education Fund, $63 million (non-state dollars) in renovations to and construction of athletics facilities, the second time in Division I history that a school had a BCS bowl winner and a national championship basketball team in one year. He also was named Time Magazine's sports executive of the year. He was the only college official on Time's list.
Also last Thursday, The Kansan published an editorial that made a few hits and misses when
There will likely never be a consensus regarding the role of collegiate athletics. There will be those biased toward athletics and apathetic toward talking politics as well as those jealous of athletics' financial clout, unaware of its contributions to a college when successful.
A balanced perspective will find that Perkins deserves a bonus if he stays but also that we deserve to read that his bonus requires him to indeed stay. As it stands, the bonus is little more than a parting gift from Hemenway.

seed may give Kansas hope to bring home the Big 12 postseason title, a leaf that hasn't been accomplished since 2006. Luckily for the Jayhawks, they'll have the next three games to build momentum.
Kansas arrived in Tulsa last night eager to play Tuesday's doubleheader, seeking to shake off being swept by No. 24 Texas over the weekend.
"We need to focus on the fundamentals and play our game," senior outfielder Dougie McCaulley said Monday. "We've got to build momentum before this last stretch. As a team, we can't beat ourselves like we did against Texas."
Beating Tulsa would provide a
much needed confidence boost and a solid start to the nonconference three-game stretch. The Golden Hurricane (28-14, 10-4) is second in the Conference USA, seven games behind East Carolina. Pending a monumental collapse by East Carolina, it looks like Tulsa is jockeying, too.
Riding a five-game winning streak, Tulsa has been executing in all three facets of the game. The Golden Hurricane offense is led by corner outfielders Lauren Lindsay and Brooke Smart, who hit .378 and .375 respectively. The team has a batting average of .290. Jackie Lawrence (12-4) leads the pitching staff in wins and innings

Though inconsistent, the Jayhawks have proven that they can beat any team on any given

Liz Kocon and Allie Clark both have team-high 22 RBIs. Clark also leads the team in home runs with five. As of late, that timely hitting has come from the bat of catcher Elle Pottof.

NATIONAL LEAGUE St. Louis picks up relief pitcher to bolster its pen
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals got help for a needy bullpen on Monday, acquiring right-hander Blaine Boyer from the Atlanta Braves for minor league outfielder Barton.
General manager John Mozeilak said the Cardinals would go with 13 pitchers for at least the next few days, and would demote a position player before beginning a three-game series against the Mets on Tuesday. St. Louis relievers have averaged more than four innings the first 13 games.
"I don't look at it as a Band-Aid at all." Mozeliak said. "We're looking to add depth to an area that needed it."
Mozeliak said he wasn't sure
how long the Cardinals would need an extra pitcher, which will leave them with only four bench players. The most likely cut is rookie third baseman David Freese, batting .158 in 19 at-bats while losing time to Brian Barden and Joe Thurston.
AMERICAN LEAGUE Yankees see first rained-out game at new stadium
REGISTER at our new stadium NEW YORK — It didn't take long for another first at the new Yankee Stadium: the first rainout.
Afternoon showers and a forecast for more rain in the evening caused the Yankees to call Monday night's game against the Oakland Athletics.
No makeup date was announced, but in addition to the remainder of this week's series on Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon, the As return for another three-game set from July 24-26. With both teams off July 23, it could be made up then or as part of a day-night doubleheader later in the series.
New York's Andy Pettitte and Oakland's Dana Eveland, who had been set back to start the opener, were pushed back to Tuesday. The A's said Brett Anderson would start Wednesday.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi bypassed Chien-Ming Wang for his next turn following three terrible outings. CC Sabathia is to start Wednesday's series finale against Oakland, and Joba Chamberlain, A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettite were scheduled to start this weekend in the Yankees' first trip of the year to Fenway Park.

Jaguars sign Torry Holt
The veteran player fills one spot left by string of troubled receivers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The jacksonville jaguars addressed their biggest need Monday night, agreeing to a three-year contract with veteran receiver Terry Holt.
The deal lessens the need for Jacksonville to get a receiver early in this weekend's NFL draft and gives the franchise its biggest weapon at the position since Jimmy Smith retired in 2006.
The Jaguars still might select a receiver with the No. 8 pick, especially since Holt will be 33 years old this summer and has been slowed by knee problems in recent years. Texas Tech's Michael Crabtree and Missouri's Jeremy Maclin are expected to be top-10 picks.
Jacksonville has been searching for a No.1 receiver since Smith's retirement. The team
selected Reggie Williams (2004)
and Matt Jones (2005) in the first
Northcutt
round in consecutive years, but parted ways with the troubled receivers this offseason. The Jaguars chose not to re-sign Williams after five disappointing seasons and
and Troy Williamson.
Holt ranks 11th on the NFL's career list with 869 receptions. Last season he caught 64 passes for 796 yards and scored 3 touchdowns.
released lones after he violated a plea agreement stemming from a drug charge.
Jacksonville also got rid of Jerry Porter in February. The Jags paid Porter $11 million last season, but he finished with 11 catches and got blamed for chemistry issues in the locker room.
Without those three, the team's top returning receivers were Dennis Northcutt, Mike Walker
t has never shown he could be a go-to receiver. Walker hasn't been fully healthy during his two years in the league. And Williamson, a former first-round pick, played sparingly last season after getting traded
to Jacksonville following three miserable years in Minnesota.
Holt certainly boosts the Jaguars' wideout position. The seven-time Pro Bowler ranks 11th on the NFL's career list with 869 receptions. He caught 64 passes for 796 yards and three touchdowns for St. Louis last season. The Rams released him in March days before he was due a $1.25 million roster bonus.

Washington takes Game 3 from New York, but still trails in series
BY IRA PODELL Associated Press
NEW YORK — Alex Ovechkin proved that the Washington Capitals still have plenty of playoff life even though he's still searching for his first postseason goal.
Ovechkin did plenty Monday night without finding the back of the net, and the Capitals knocked back the upstart New York Rangers with a solid 4-0 victory. Washington rebounded from a pair of frustrating home losses, got to goalie Henrik Lundqvist, and cut its series deficit to 2-1.
"It was an important game,but
it's over," said Ovechkin, who led the NHL, with 56 regular-season goals. "It's done. It's history. And
we have to battle next game."
Ovechkin went a third game without a goal, but earned two assists for the second-seeded Capitals, who dominated the No. 7 Rangers.

Celtics beat Bulls in final seconds of playoff game
Ray Allen sneaks in a 3-pointer to win the game for Boston
BY HOWARD ULMAN
BOSTON — Ray Allen picked the perfect time to snap out of his shooting slump.
Allen made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2 seconds left and finished with 30 points, leading the Boston Celtics a 118-115 win over the Chicago Bulls in Game 2 of their playoff series Monday night.
Ben Gordon nearly carried Chicago to a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. He scored with 12.3 seconds left to tie it, and had a playoff career-high 42 points. Then Boston set up a play for Allen, who took a pass from Rajon Rondo and connected from the right side.
Allen had just four points on 1-for-12 shooting in Boston's 105-103 overtime loss on Saturday and missed the final shot.
The next two games of the series are scheduled for Chicago on Thursday night and Sunday.
Allen scored 28 points in the second half, which turned into a shootout between the All-Star
guard and Gordon.
Consecutive 3-pointers by Gordon gave the Bulls a 109-104 lead before the Celtics rallied. Glen Davis made two free throws and Rondo connected on a long jumper to give Boston a 112-111 lead with 1:01 to play.
Gordon followed with a 16-foot jumper and Allen countered with a 3-pointer that put Boston ahead 115-113 with 25.3 seconds remaining.
Then it was Gordon's turn. He connected from near the foul line before the Celtics called a timeout to set up their final play.
Rondo dribbled on the left side and Allen worked himself free, caught the pass in rhythm and converted as the crowd went wild. Tyrus Thomas then heaved a shot from beyond midcourt that fell short.
Allen ran to the bench where injured Kevin Garnett, wearing a sport coat and tie, slapped him on the head and chest. On his way to the locker room, coach Doc Rivers shouted, "yeah, yeah," pumped his fist and exchanged high-fives with
fans.
Then, headed to his postgame news conference. Rivers joked, "nice and easy, never a doubt."
Glen Davis had 26 points for second-seeded Boston, passing his career high of 24 points on March 21, and Rondo had a triple-double — 19 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds. Paul Pierce added 18 points and Kendrick Perkins contributed 16 points and 12 rebounds.
John Salmons had 17 points and Brad Miller scored 16 for Chicago.
The Celtics nearly lost despite controlling rookie point guard Derrick Rose. He finished with 10 points, seven assists and six rebounds after leading the Bulls with 36 points and 11 assists on Saturday.
Rondo missed the last 5:03 of the first half with a minor right ankle sprain but returned to start the third quarter. Backup forward Leon Powe didn't return to the bench after going to the locker room early in the second quarter. He hobbled away but there was no announcement of his injury.

Canucks have chance for sweep
Despite injury to center Sundin, Vancouver is one game away from advancing to the second round of NHL playoffs
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
Associated Press
37 VANCOUVER GAGGLE
Vancouver Canucks' Rick Ryden, right, and St. Louis Blues' Jay McLeemance play for the pick in the second period of Game 3 of a first-round NHL playoff hockey game Sunday in St. Louis. Vancouver leads the playoff series 3-0, and has a chance to sweep the series tonight.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — One win away from a first-round playoff sweep, the Vancouver Canucks are anything but cocky. One loss away from making their first postseason appearance in five years a colossal dud, the St. Louis Blues are not panicking.
The Canucks will attempt to neutralize another sellout crowd in Game 4 Tuesday night with the no-frills road-game mentality they used in the regular season. All sweep talk was steered away Monday, as easily as Roberto Luongo has handled shots in this series.
"Nobody's going to talk about that stuff," said Steve Bernier, who scored the go-ahead goal in a 3-2 victory Sunday night that put the Camucks up 3-0. "We came to St. Louis with one thing in mind: play shift to shift and not try to do everything extraordinary."
The Blues will lean on the second-half success that launched them from last in the Western Conference to sixth place despite injuries to stars Paul Kariya, Eric Brewer and Erik Johnson. They finished the regular season 9-1-1 to qualify with one game to go before running into Luongo & Co.
"We've been counted out before and surprised people, so we're not going to dwell on the past three games or it's just going to drag you down," forward David Backes said. "One game at a time.
"You've got to get the first one in your bag, and hopefully they haven't canceled our trip to Vancouver because we plan on using that plane."
Canucks center Mats Sundin said Monday his groin injury wasn't much better, a day after he was a lineup scratch. Sundin, who scored the go-ahead goal in Game 2, said his status will probably be determined at the morning skate on Tuesday.
Even without Sundin, the Canucks rode special teams in taking a commanding series lead. Vancouver scored all three goals on the power play, going 3-for-5, while shutting out the Blues on six chances with the man advantage.
The Blues are 1-for-17 on the power play in the series. They've totaled three goals overall while getting stymied by Luongo and a pesky penalty-kill unit that seldom allowed St. Louis to even set up shop in the offensive zone in Game 3.
St. Louis was third overall on the penalty kill and eighth on the power play in the regular season,
but might be a bit intimidated by Luongo. Even when in position in Game 3, they seemed to wait for the perfect shot.
The Sedin twins have been the
go-ahead goal in the third period, defy deflecting an off-target slap shot that bounced off the end boards to Steve Bernier alone in front of the net.

New stadium sees plenty of longball in first games

NEW YORK - Home runs are flying out of Yankee Stadium at a record pace for a new ballpark.
"There are a couple ballparks out there that the ball just travels well. This might be one of them," New York's Mark Teixeira, who hit two of those home runs, said after Monday night's game against Oakland was rained out.
Cleveland split the opening series that ended Sunday. That's easily the high for the first four games at a major league park, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, topping the 16 when Oakland started the 1996 season at Cashman Field in Las Vegas.

According to Elias, there were eight four-game spans of 20 or more homers at the original Yankee Stadium, some of them overlapping: one in 2000, two in 2003, one in 2004 and four in 2007.
Cherundolo said if the shape of the seating is the issue, winds from the west above 10 mph will cause the boost, and that weather pattern is most typical during spring and middle-to-late fall. The opening series was played in weather that was unseasonably warm for April in New York.

been hit to right field, raising concern that there might be a wind tunnel in the $1.5 billion ballpark, which has wide, open concourses, as opposed to the narrow hallways in the original Yankee Stadium on the south side of 161st Street, which remains standing.
"Angle of the seating in the new stadium could have an effect on wind speed across the field." AccuWeather's Gina Cherundolo said on the company's Web site Monday. "The old Yankee Stadium had more stacked tiers and a large upper deck, acting like a solid wall, in effect, which would cause the wind to swirl more and be less concentrated.
"The new Yankee Stadium's tiers are less stacked, making a less sharp slope from the top of the stadium to the field. This shape could enable winds to blow across the field with less restriction. In addition, the slope of the seating would also lead to a 'downslope' effect in the field which, depending on wind direction, would tend to cause air to lift up in the right field."
The high of 26 was from July 31-Aug. 2, 2007.
"It isn't something that I want to see a lot, unless it's all ours. But it was an interesting four days." Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I didn't think the ball carried yesterday. I thought it was different yesterday than it was the first three days. So who knows what's going to happen? I mean, it's a small sample."
Twenty-eight homers have been hit in six games at the new ballpark, including eight during two exhibitions against the Cubs. There were 160 home runs last year at Yankee Stadium, just under two per game.
Girardi didn't sound particularly concerned about the new park playing as if it were Coors Field or Citizens Bank Park.
"If it does happen, it wears out the other bullpen, too," he said. "I mean, everyone has to deal with the same issues."
"We can get into the summer months when it's hot and humid, and the ball might be carrying even better," he said. "We'll kind of just see what happens."
Populous, the firm formerly known as HOK Sport, which designed the ballpark, did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment. Yankees spokeswoman Alice McGillion said the team had no comment.
Teams around the majors, watching on television, took notice of all the home runs and started speculating about a wind tunnel.
Teixeira thinks it will take half a season to evaluate.
"There possibly could." said Oakland's Jason Giambi, fresh off seven seasons with the Yankees.

It's every little leaguer's dream to set foot inside a major league stadium and play the game they love.
It's a dream many Jayhawks have been able to live over the past few seasons, but some younger players will be able to experience it for the first time tonight at 7 when Kansas renews its rivalry with Missouri at Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals.
junior pitcher Shaeffer Hall.
It's a game that has more impact than victories and losses. The game, strangely enough, doesn't count as a Big 12 conference game because it's played in the middle of the week. Teams are only allowed to play conference games over the weekend. But the game means something more for players such as
“It's a lot of fun, and being able to do it against your rival Mizzou makes it that much more special,” Hall said. “I was fortunate to get the opportunity to start last year and make the most out of it.”
Hall, who grew up in the Kansas City area, was only a sophomore mid-week starter then, but coach Ritch Price gave him the opportunity to start against the then No. 14 Tigers. It was a dominant performance that saw Hall go seven shutout innings with four strikeouts against a potent Missouri offense.
It was the start that propelled Hall to finish the season strong and become the number one pitcher for Kansas this season.

Although tonight's game won't count for points in the Border Showdown Series standings, the Jayhawks are looking for bragging rights in the first meeting out of four between the rivals this season.
Three points for the Border Showdown Series standings will be up for grabs that weekend and could bridge the gap in the Tigers' 18.5-10 lead on the Jayhawks.
Dating back to 1894, the Jayhawks and Tigers have met 317 times on the diamond. Missouri leads the overall series 193-122-2. Kansas hopes to even up the neutral-site series record, where Missouri has a 4-3 edge.
The most notable Border Showdown victory for the Jayhawks was the football team's 40-37 comeback victory at Arrowhead Stadium in November, which earned Kansas three points in the standings.
Junior pitcher Shaefer Hall said this game would be a great preview of what cards the Tigers would play during the conference matchups on May 8-10 in Columbia, Mo.
Adam Samson
Some other approaching Border Showdown matchups are the men's and women's Big 12 golf championships during the next week, worth three points each, and the men's and women's Big 12 outdoor track and field championships in the middle of May,worth one point each.

CONSTRUCTION
Oread Inn roads will open before December
BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@k ansan.com
Construction near the Oread Inn has caused students some unanticipated problems, but road closures in the area are expected to end earlier than previously scheduled.
David Longhurst, one of the employees with the construction project responsible for hotel development and implementation, said that the project was making excellent progress and that he anticipated the roads would be open before December, which was the original projection.
Sierra Falter, Lincoln, Neb. senior, said she didn't know about the construction before she signed the lease to her apartment on Indiana Street in front of the Oread Inn.
"They hadn't destroyed in yet," Falter said. "I was just more enthralled with the space."
Falter said her main concern was not having enough room to park her car because of the trucks and equipment from the construction.
"I think the biggest part is getting up here." Falter said. "They don't give us enough space to get in or out, my car is, like, always hitting the curb."
Falter said she decided to call the city to find out what was happening after the construction started.
"I did my own research," Falter said. "I called the city when construction workers were parking in our parking lot."
Falter said she thought the construction caused a problem for other students as well.
"I knew everyone was upset about it, but I didn't think about how they were going to blow this whole thing up and start building," Falter said. "It's a pain in the ass for everyone. It's not even me, all the

Group protests weapons ban
Students for Concealed Carry on Campus to wear empty holsters in demonstration
BY KEVIN HARDY khardy@kansan.com
Brittany Ramos calls her SIG P-250 pistol a necessary means of protection.
This week the SCCC's KU Chapter is conducting its second annual protest to speak out against the Kansas Board of Regents' weapons ban in place at state colleges and universities. About 50 students will carry empty
Ramos, Overland Park senior,
serves as the vice president of
the KU chapter of Students for
Concealed Carry on Campus, or SCCC.
The week-long protest, which was planned in conjunction with a nation-wide demonstration, has special meaning for Ramos, a stauch supporter of Second Amendment rights. In addition to working locally with SCCC, Ramos has testified before a Kansas Senate committee in favor of allowing concealed weapons on college campuses, and started her own shooting club.
holsters on campus to protest the ban, which overrules a Kansas state law allowing qualified licensees to carry concealed weapons in public places.
As a woman, Ramos said, it was
important to be able to protect herself in the case of a violent crime or a personal attack. She said the ability to carry concealed weapons was much more pressing for women than for men.
Ramos first became interested in guns after joining the University's Air Force ROTC program in 2006. She went to a shooting range with her boyfriend and was hooked.
"It itse like a lot of women depend on male chivalry for protection," Ramos said. "But, if there are no guys around, I would have no protection."
"When we first went shooting, I absolutely loved it," Ramos said. "I really had I got into this earlier"
Ramos didn't grow up shooting guns. She remembers her father's guns being kept under lock and key. She said his guns were "off limits."
"My mom at first didn't like the idea of her little baby girl having a weapon," Ramos said. "But she understands it's for my own protection."
Ramos' boyfriend, Derek Miller, Kansas City, Kan., senior and president of the KU chapter of SCCC, said Ramos and other women had

crew hostage, firing a bullet that grazed the co-pilot's face and demanding to be flown off the island, witnesses and police said Monday.
After eight hours of fruitless negotiations, soldiers stormed the plane and arrested the man without further injury, but authorities were deeply embarrassed about the security breach at Montego Bay's airport, a major Caribbean tourist hub.

5. Man punches guard after stealing diapers
SPOKANE, Wash. — Authorities in Washington state say a couple were so determined to make off with merchandise without paying that a security guard who tried to stop them got punched.
The loot that was so important to the couple was a package of disposable diapers — $18 worth of diapers.
Spokane County Sheriff's Sgt. Dave Reagan said a security guard tried to stop the pair as they walked out of a Safeway on Saturday with the diapers in their cart.
Reagan said the man yelled "sorry" and then punched the guard in the face.

ENVIRONMENT Students will help plant rain garden at rec center
Associated Press
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said she looked forward to the planting.
Students will have the opportunity to get their hands dirty and celebrate Earth Day today by volunteering to help create the new rain garden on the north side of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.
"I can't wait for the dirt to fly," Chappell said. "We want good weather and want people to come out and see that this is what students can do when they put their ideas together."
The rain garden project has been under way for nearly two years, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, students can volunteer to help plant nearly 2,500 plants.
Rain water collected from the roof of the recreation center will go through a series of pipes that will open up in 11 different places to water the garden.
England Porter, Independence senior, said the garden would contain only plants that were native to the Kansas environment. Porter said prairie grasses, flowering plants, Echinacea and gooseberries were a few of the 22 different species of plants that would grow in the rain garden.
"Native plants allow for more native species to come to the garden." Porter said. "There will be more butterflies, birds, worms and bugs."
Porter said she hoped to see a few hundred people show up to volunteer to plant in the 5,500 square-foot garden.
and the recreation center are responsible for some of the funding for the rain garden project, and Coca-Cola will give volunteers free refreshments.

a higher stake in protecting them selves with weapons than men.
CONCEAL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"You know if she were up against a big body builder type guy, she might not have any way to protect herself. She's just a 110-pound sorority girl." Martin said. "So, it's definitely an equalizing thing."
Although he said it was important for women to join in the fight for Second Amendment rights, Miller said seeing a woman as involved as Ramos was unusual.
"It's just not something you see as often, especially someone as involved and passionate about it," Miller said.
Eric Stein, Topeka senior and state leader for SCCC, said the original concealed carry law was passed in Kansas after many rape and domestic abuse testsified before the legislature. He said supporters pushed for the law for 14 years before it passed in 2006.
"Women's issues is what got concealed carry passed in Kansas," Stein said.
Stein said women needed to pay attention to the severity of crimes on campus against women. He said those crimes happened too often and were evidence of women's need for protection.
"I really don't think they hear about these crimes enough." Stein said.
Ramos has no intention of letting go of her gun any time soon. She will begin the eight-hour course to get her concealed carry license this weekend.
Ramos said she would continue to support Second Amendment rights, even if few other women did the same.
Her license will allow her to carry a concealed weapon in Texas, where she plans to live after graduating in May.

SHOWDOWN (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"It it me over the hump" Hall said. "I think it gave me a lot of confidence last year as far as finishing the rest of the season on a good note and helping our team get some wins."
The game is intensified because Kansas is playing Missouri. It's a rivalry that the players relish, and the big stage at Kauffman highlights the rivalry even more.
"I think it just continues to make the rivalry more intense," Price said. "Until you've actually experienced it, you have no idea what it's like until you've been out on the field. I've never been a part of anything like it in the 30 years I've been in coaching."
What makes the game even more fun for Price and his players are the perks of playing in a major league stadium. The Royals really rolled out the red carpet when it came to treating the teams and giving them a major league experience they won't soon forget.
"The Royals just treated us off the charts," Price said. "From the groundskeepers that let us take pregame on the field just like if we were
a big league club, to running the video board, to the public address announcer, to the music they play in between innings. They made it a special night for our players."
Freshman pitcher Lee Ridenhour, a Lenexa native, admitted the Royals weren't his favorite team growing up, partly because of the team's losing record in the past. But he still has a lot of memories watching games at Kauffman.
Now Ridenhour will be able to make a new memory by playing in the stadium.
"Wed go out there early and watch the batting practice and I tried to get autographs and stuff." Ridenhour said. "It was always fun to go out there."
Another perk for both programs is the recruiting power the game can generate.
Price has invited high school players and potential recruits to come out and enjoy the experience.
"I think we got about 200 high school kids invited to come out and watch, so we're trying to use it as
one of the great recruiting tools in America," Price said. "It's a special night and certainly I think every high school kid that's going to want to watch that game on Wednesday is going to want to be a Jayhawk when the evening is over."
It's a tough situation for many of the players. Nerves and pre-game jitters are expected when playing on a stage of such magnitude. But Price has worked a strategy to help buck those nerves.
Price said he took the team to the stadium three hours early last year, and gave them the first hour to have fun, take pictures, and experience the stadium as a fan.
But after that hour it's back to the business that is baseball.
"I deliberately went in an hour early to try to take the awestruckness away." Price said.
Although Price doesn't want the team to be awestruck, he hopes the fans leaving the game will be awestruck by Kansas performance.

Her expected confirmation would complete President Barack Obama's Cabinet, which held its first formal meeting Monday without Sebelius there.
WASHINGTON — Kathleen Sebelius won Senate committee approval as health secretary over Republican opposition Tuesday, putting her on track for a final Senate vote in coming days.
Just two of 10 committee Republicans joined majority Democrats in voting "yes," signaling
The Senate Finance Committee voted 15 to 8 in favor of sending the nomination of Sebelius, Kansas' two-term Democratic governor, to
GOP concerns over Sebelius' ties to a Kansas abortion doctor, as well as some broader skepticism about Obama's health care plans.
PRESIDENT
Republican
Sebelius
senators were under pressure from anti-abortion activists to oppose Sebelius.
But the partisan vote sparked
an angry response and an apparent threat from one committee Democrat, Sen. Charles Schumer of New York.
"I was surprised by the fact that so few Republicans supported a moderate, qualified candidate like Gov. Sebelius," Schumer said.
Schumer then suggested that the vote was an invitation for Democrats to pass health care legislation using a controversial parliamentary maneuver that would preempt Republicans from mounting a filibuster to block passage.
Sebelius, 60, would oversee an agency with 65,000 employees and a $750 billion budget.

"You can hear construction noises from seven in the morning on." Winer said.
John Winer, Dallas sophomore, lives in a fraternity next to the construction site. Winer said he didn't bother using his radio alarm clock anymore.
Jordan Christian, Topeka senior, lives in Hawks Pointe III and said he had a hard time sleeping through the construction.
"At times they've had, like, water main breaks," Glass said. "There's stuff that will run down all over our yard."
Christian said his only other concern was the difficulty of getting into the parking lot.
Falter said that despite the problems she had encountered, the construction workers were usually considerate.
"The construction around here, getting into here, it's been a muddy mess," Christian said.
Adam Glass, Overland Park sophomore, also lives in the fraternity next to the construction site.
Longhurst said the construction crew hadn't had any unanticipated problems with people living in the area.
"The neighbors have been understanding and a pleasure to work with," Longhurst said. "The University and the city have both been supportive and accommodating."
Dave Corliss, city manager, said that he had heard complaints from residents but that he thought the Oread Inn would be worth the temporary trouble.

Longhurst said the Oread Inn would be an asset to both the University of Kansas and the city of Lawrence. He said it would provide meeting spots, hotel rooms, a spa, a health club and food and bar services next to the University.
"It will provide hundreds of jobs, many for KU students, and millions of dollars in payroll when it opens," Longhurst said.
"The Oread is a wonderful addition to the community," Corliss said. "Providing additional hotel and meeting room opportunities for visitors in a great setting near KU."

NEW YORK — Real estate baroness Leona Helmsley's estate gave away $136 million Tuesday to hospitals, foundations and the homeless and left $1 million to animal charities, prompting one advocate to accuse the estate of failing to honor the hotel tycoon's wishes.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Animal charities upset with court's decision
Helmsley's estate announced 53 charitable grants Tuesday, the bulk of which went to New York City hospitals and medical research. The largest grant, $40 million, went to create a digestive diseases center at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, while $35 million went to start two research facilities in Helmsley's name at Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Animal rights groups rejoiced last year amid public reports that Helmsley specified in her will that her multibillion-dollar hotel and real estate empire should go entirely to dog-releated charities.
The estate for Helmsley — who died in 2007 at age 87 — divided $1 million equally to 10 animal charities, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and several groups that train guide dogs for the blind.
But a surrogate court judge ruled in February that trustees for the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust had sole authority to decide which charities benefit from her estate.
Wayne Pacelle, chief executive of the Humane Society of the United States, said Tuesday the amount of donations to animal charities — ranging from the animal cruelty prevention society to groups such as Canine Partners for Life — doesn't reflect Helmsley's wishes.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Sexual Assault Awareness month offers reminder of tragic statistics
According to the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Abuse,
PAGE 5A
approximately 683,000 w raped in the United States every year, which equals to 1.3 women being raped every minute. It is Sexual Assault Awareness month, and this statistic is just one of many reasons KU students should participate in the events being sponsored by various University groups.
Sexual violence isn't a vague idea that affects only women of certain races or ages. It isn't something that happens only in big cities or other countries.
Sexual violence takes many forms, including rape. It has left its mark on all genders, religions, ages, races, classes, but it primarily affects women. It happens in this community, in Lawrence, and on this campus. The goals of this month, of the Commission on the
Status of Women, of The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, and of GaDuGi Safecon are to raise awareness and to prevent
the point home that not only is sexual assault still an issue in our society, but that it is also something that is oftentimes ignored," said Tanner Willbanks, the Sexual Assault Awareness Coordinator for CSW. "This month is a chance for advocates and survivors to stand up and refuse to be swept under the rug any longer."
To get involved, students can participate in the Pantyline Project which features students voicing their opinions about sexual assault on underwear art. They will then be displayed on lajhawk Boulevard to reach as many
sexual violence.
people as possible.
Outside of this month students should continue to be aware and combat sexual assault.
"This means reporting any activity that constitutes assault. It also means changing people's thought patterns about sexual assault and rape," said Willbanks. "People need to understand that rape and sexual assault are never laughing matters."
Students can also contact student senate officers to ask them to work toward promoting safety and awareness by increasing lighting off campus.
While you were reading this editorial, at least one woman was raped in the United States. There have been a series of connected rapes in Lawrence that started in 2004. Students should join the fight to prevent the statistics from increasing.

CAPSAICIN ADDICTS ANONYMOUS
I don't have a problem! It's all of you who have a problem!
IAMFS FARMFR
Red hot chili peppers
The first time I thought I might have a problem was in August 2007 when, my body enveloped in sweat and vision clouded by white, I curled up on my best friend's girlfriend's bathroom floor, face pressed against the vent in a desperate attempt for air.
Capsaicin in peppers can be deliciously habit-forming
I would later learn that the container's label advises against using more than a drop of the solution, but not before dousing my plate in at least one to two teaspoons of Chili Addict's Revenge sauce. My chili addiction had soared to such heights that the warning label likely wouldn't have halted my intentions anyway.
Actually, addiction is not the proper term for my affliction — a December Economist article said it was at most a craving — but it is hereditary. As far back as my memory can take me, I can recall my dad dropping habanero peppers into pots of chili or dousing burritos and pork rinds with fiery red sauces. Son would mirror father over the years, as I'd dabble in the intoxicating delights. A Blazin' Buffalo Wild Wing here, some Tabasco there. But I really started using in high school and have no
intentions to stop, only to go a little further and faster.
SEEK AND INFORM STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
It feels good to type that sentence, great to reread it and even better to say aloud. See chili peppers make food simply taste better — helpful for students able to afford only less-than-delectable eats — and also provide an adrenaline kick and an authentic natural high. Drugs are bad, m'kay, and alcohol treats you well one minute and hits you in the gut the next, but capsaicin allows you to let go of the steering wheel (figuratively) whether you're in public or at home. Capsaicin is the substance found in chili peppers as well as in pepper spray — only one of which is advisable to ingest (your call.) It is responsible for the sweat, tears and elevated heart rates one encounters when consuming chilies. And it also gets you high, quite a few steps above runner's high and minus the
jail sentence of LSD High.
It also seems, through the passage of time, that our generation has acquired a higher tolerance of capsaicin. With chilies in chocolates, jellies, soy sauce and just about every aisle of the grocery store, far more products are kicked up a notch than in any point of history. This explains the dually delicious and dangerous cocktail my buddy's mom deemed "The Devil's Spit." It involves silver tequila, ice, half a lime and half a jalapeno. It can also involve either bragging rights and respect from your pals or the worst day of your life afterward.
In a way, our higher tolerance for these delicacies provides hope that this tolerance is spreading to other arenas: race, sex, class and others. As one generation begets another, previous reservations sometimes lose their luster or even dissipate. And although jalapeno toothpaste or habanero contact solution is not yet a reality, I can indeed tell you I have been to the mountaintop and I have seen it.

Recently, I was granted the rare opportunity to interview the comedy duo face to face...to face. I pulled through the golden, guarded entryway of their stately manor outside Lawrence, which sits on 100 acres of the area's finest crabgrass.
Around back, I found the two lounging in an Olympic-sized Jacuzzi. His golden chains glinting in the late-afternoon light, Snyder waved a gilded scepter in the direction of a nearby tree stump, and I took a seat.
Ryan Snyder: You may speak.
teacher. Sure. You may speak Ima Reporter: Um, thanks. I can see you guys certainly have your hands full at the moment, and I just wanted to thank you again for allowing me to interview you.
Michael Pope: Think nothing of it! Would you like a glass of champagne?
RS: Water? In a hot tub? What do you think we are, peasants?
IR: But that's water from your hot tub.
IR: How silly of me. I won't even bother asking why you're both speaking with British accents. When did you two first discover that you made such a successful combination?
MP: Well, after we saved the world from a global memory-loss pandemic in the summer of 2008, we decided that we should take some time off and channel our greatness through the written word.
IR: Memory-loss pandemic?
I don't remember anything like that.
MICHAEL POPE & RYAN SNYDER
YOU'RE WELCOME
MICHAEL ROPE & DJAN SWIEDER
MP: Well, we couldn't save everyone.
IR: So what does it feel like to win a F.A.K.E., the most esteemed and totally real award in literature?
RS: It's great, I guess. To be honest, I can't even remember what it looks like. We decided to give it to Dan Brown because we knew he never win one himself and we felt sorry for him.
IR: That's extremely generous of you. What do you think about your critics' calling you "egotistical, juvenile, chauvinistic non-talents?"
MP: I'd agree with the first three accusations. As for the latter, I'd say that their mothers certainly thought I was pretty talented. In the bedroom!
IR: What advice would you give to aspiring writers looking to break into the competitive world of collegiate journalism?
RS: Give up. You'll never be better than us, and if you try we will destroy everything you love
Unfortunately, the interview was cut short as their butter hurried over and explained that a mutated, 500-foot-tall Nicholas Cage was terrorizing downtown Tokyo and the UN requested their aid. Pressing a glowing red button, they bid me farewell as a large glass dome closed over them. As their lacuzzi rocket ship entered the stratosphere, I could not help but smile. God bless those two young men.

Celebrating Earth Day on the National Mall
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hula-hoops, hippies, protesters, green groups, PETA and the Flaming Lips defined downtown Washington, D.C., this past Sunday. The annual Earth Day on the Mall celebration was the event of the day for all those embracing a "green" life.
For me, it was an opportunity to spread the message of the organization I currently intern for, The Wilderness Society, at our fancy booth. We handed out free buttons with the phrase: "I Like It Wild!" Needless to say, this generated much enthusiasm from high school students.
For the past eight years we have had little response to the phenomenon of global climate change, while we continue
But the point of Earth Day on the Mall was not to see how much free stuff you could gather (although that was fun); the point was bringing awareness to global climate change and our need to address the degradation of our environment.
tearing up our land with oil rigs and investing in dirty fuels. The message on the Mall this weekend called for a new generation that supported carbon-free renewable energy, a ban on offshore drilling and comprehensive legislation that addresses all climate change issues.
Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) spoke to a crowd numbered in the thousands about his proposed climate bill that would provide for a cap-and-trade tax on carbon emitted by unaccountable utility providers, an investment strategy for wind and solar renewable energy and a funding program to create green jobs. It's policy like this that will end our dependence on foreign oil, not more drilling in sensitive areas that are on the verge of reaching an ecological point of no return.
What's next for the "green" revolution? Well, EPA just released its official report acknowledging the harm of greenhouse gas emissions on humans — that's a first step.

Q&A
Al Jazeera chief discusses U.S. media perspective
BY ADAM SAMSON asamson@kansan.com
The Kansan sat down for a Q&A with Will Stebbins, Bureau Chief for the Americas of Al Jazeera English.
AlhazeeraEnglish is a global news organization that focuses on covering underrepresented regions of the world along with major world events.
Stebbins said one of the main
Stebbens
C
goals of the Al Jazeera Network was to rehabilitate many of the basic principles of journalism, which are to
challenge the question of power and to offer a platform for the voiceless
A:
Q: How would you describe the difference between traditional U.S. media coverage and Al Jazeera coverage?
A: I think traditional U.S. media coverage is very much focused on U.S. concerns and led by what are considered to be U.S. popular appetites and celebrity gossip, which tends to not only dominate the news, but it also led to a reformulation of what news is.
You'll now find out who was the champion on the latest reality game show, which is now news and makes
the headlines. Al Jazeera isn't driven by those kinds of concerns, and takes an international perspective on global events.
Q: How is Al Jazeera in America going?
A:
A: We've certainly had some recognition here, which we appreciate. Rachel Maddow on MSNBC basically endorsed us. We certainly see a recognition and I think there's a better understanding of what Al Jazeera is doing.
With the War on Gaza, many people realized there was another story to be told and that you really had to go to Al jazeera to get the other side of the story.
Q: What is a story you have gotten a lot of criticism for lately?
O:
A:
A: For Al Jazeera English, during the election, we received a fair amount of criticism for a story we did at the end of a Sarah Palin political rally as we spoke to a number of people who expressed ideas that I don't think people were used to hearing in U.S. media.
It created shockwaves. People were expressing openly racist sentiments and hostility.
There were some that criticized us saying that we were attempting to show the U.S. in some type of bad light. We gave people the
opportunity to speak and we put their unvarnished statements on the air.
Q: How valuable is the Al Jazeera news to the U.S.?
A:
I think the news were producing from overseas is very valuable to a U.S. audience because the U.S. is very much engaged overseas and it's critical for people in the U.S. to have access to a credible source of international news, so they can understand the effect of policies and decisions being taken in their name. It's an opportunity to view U.S. foreign policy through the eyes of those on the sharp end of the policy.
Elise Higgins, Topeka junior and president of the Commission on the Status of Women, welcomes everyone who attended the Women's Recognition program. More than 100 people attended the event held in the Kansas Union Tuesday evening.
CAMPUS
Q: Do you think news here in the U.S. is sanitized?
I think here a great effort is made to ensure that pictures from Iraq and Afghanistan were sanitized and wouldn't be too disturbing. Al Jazeera will always have an international perspective, but we won't be overly polite to our audience. We won't restrain ourselves because we're worried about offending someone. We'll make sure that we tell the truth as we see it. In order to tell the true stories of war, you have to show the pictures that illustrate it. We certainly don't sanitize war.

Hall of Fame inducts five, including Sebelius
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
The University of Kansas Women's Hall of Fame inducted five new members Tuesday evening. The five women were: Gov Kathleen Sebelius; Jacqueline Snyder, chancellor of Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City, Mo; Maria Carlson, professor of Slavic languages and literatures; Bozenna Pasik-Duncan, professor of mathematics; and Joey Sprague, professor of sociology.
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center celebrated its selections and unveiled the first physical display of the hall of fame on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union.
Students can read about the women featured in the hall of fame and their accomplishments on a Web site displayed at an adjoining kiosk. Currently, the Web site is available only at the kiosk, but it should be public on the center's Web site soon, director Kathy Rose-Mockry said. The Web site will also feature a program that allows students looking for mentoring to get in touch with
hall of fame inductees through the Internet instead of by filling out a contact form.
The induction ceremony was part of the annual Women's Recognition Program. Following the ceremony, the program honored 39 women, including 25 students, who influence the university community through their contributions to the University.
Ashley Byrd, Memphis, Tenn., junior and award recipient, said she helped freshmen acclimate to university life and also organized events such as cookie decorating to help students relieve stress during finals week. Her coworkers noticed her efforts and nominated her for the award.
"It's a great honor," Byrd said. "I felt like I've done a lot of work and it's nice to be recognized for it."
The program, sponsored by The Commission on the Status of Women and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, began in the mid 1960s and inducted its first members in 1970. Rose-Mockry said it was just as relevant today.
"It's still 78 cents on a dollar in terms of women's versus men's salaries." Rose-Mockry said. "Women are still under represented and there are big issues with women's belief in the their own ability to succeed."
Ryan Campbell, Olathe senior and resource center outreach coordinator, helped organize the event
"Issues of equality are a mindset that affects both men and women and something both sexes have to be cognizant of", Campbell said.
and said it was important for men to take an interest in problems facing women.

Shortstop leads offensive surge
Junior Narodowski goes 2-for-2 with two home runs and sophomore Thompson gets four RBIs
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Apparently, David Narodowski can hit for power.
WYAS 17
It hadn't shown through the Jay Hawks' first 39 games, as he had amassed only 10 extra-base hits during the course of the season. In game No. 40, an 11-2 Kansas victory against Baker, Narodowski, junior shortstop, showed off some of that previously unseen strength, going 2-for-2 with two long home runs, his first as a Jayhawk.
"Finally," Narodowski said. "I got it done. I got the first one out of the way and then the pitcher left one high in the second at-bat and I got the second one. It feels good. Finally."
Narodowski, who transferred from Vernon College in Wichita Falls, Texas, started the season hitting from the cleanup spot for Kansas, a slot normally reserved for a power hitter. He didn't demonstrate that trait until well after he was removed from the heart of the lineup
Coach Ritch Price said performance during fall games was the reason he decided to put Narodowski in the cleanup spot.
"He hit like five in the fall. He was physical with the bat in the fall and he had a lot of doubles." Price said, "so as shocking as you guys probably thought that was, he was physical enough to hit there."
Narodowski's first home run, on a 3-1 fastball that he took deep to right-center field, jump-started the Kansas first. The Jayhawks went on to score four runs in the frame, claiming an early lead they would never relinquish.
"It just gives your pitchers a little breathing room," Price said. "Once you get ahead early it makes it easier for the next guy to hit."
Narodowski's second home run led off the second inning for Kansas, and this one was a no-doubt, hammered high into the trees beyond the left-field wall. The Jayhawks once again followed his lead in producing a multi-run inning.
Sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson also drove in runs in the first two innings, finishing with four RBIs.
"He's on fire." Narodowski said. "If guys are on base, he'll bring them in. He'll hit the home run when we need it. It gets everybody livened up in the dugout."
In addition to the offensive barrage, the Jayhawks' pitching was true to the form they had demonstrated all year, allowing only two Wildcat runs on seven hits. Junior

COMMENTARY
Hawks will have to wait for answer from Henrys
BY ALEXBEECHER
abeecher@kansan.com
And so the saga of the Brothers Henry continues. With Monday's news
that both Xavier and C.J. Henry plan to visit Kentucky this weekend, the status of both as presumed Jayhawks proved itself premature.
Sure, there was conjecture offered from outside sources, speculating on when — not if the brothers would commit to Kansas. For weeks now, the blogosphere has proliferated rumors that both would soon be on their way to Lawrence. In fairness, it seemed like a safe assumption.
After John Calipari bolted out of Memphis for Kentucky, it seemed logical that Xavier would opt for Kansas — the bride's maid in the first go around. Given the family connections and the extent to which coach Self had devoted himself to doggedly pursuing Xavier, the Jayhawks deserved their status as favorite.
But that status is gone now; or at least it ought to be. Where there was once a general assumption that the Henrys would find their way to Kansas, there is now an air of uncertainty. If Xavier really, truly wanted to commit to Kansas, wouldn't he have done so already?
It's not as if he's unfamiliar with the campus, program or staff. The staff has given him the full Kansas pitch, and clearly, it hasn't sold him.
The worry now is that the John Calipari pitch — the same one that sold Xavier on commiting to Memphis in the first place — could once again do the trick. Calipari can now sell the prospect of resuscitating a basketball legacy in Lexington and that only stengthens his pitch, which is already one of the most successful in the recruiting world.
If the prospect of losing out on the Xavier Henry sweepstakes twice weren't bad enough, Kansas fans now have to come to terms with the possibility that none of the other speculated-upon blue-chippers — John Wall, Daniel

Mangino talks injuries, suspensions, next season
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
Having wrapped up spring practices last week, coach Mark Mangino summarized the offseason as productive but stopped short of embracing talk of his team's status as Big 12 North favorites.
"Look what speculation did to Wall Street," Mangino said during Tuesday's Big 12 coaches teleconference. "We don't pay any attention to it. We know that we have to earn our way. We understand that as a team and appreciate the fact the people look at us in that way but we've got a lot of work to do."
CHECKING UP ON LUEKEN
Mangino addressed the status of sophomore offensive lineman Ben Lueken, who was injured during an
April 5 incident at the Jayhawker Towers. Lueken was struck or fell from the hood of an SUV and spent several days at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.

Ben is feelin well. I saw him yesterday and he looks great and he's recovering just well," Mangino said Tuesday.

WHAT MANGINO

Mangino told reporters he could not yet comment on the status
of suspended junior running back Jocques Crawford, whose suspension was announced after the April 11 spring game, but would issue a statement when he felt it was appropriate.
Mangino was also asked about the status of sophomore

Four sentenced in murder of Ottawa football player
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Four men have been sentenced in the beating death of a small-college football player.
Eric Freeman, Luis Gaston,
Milton Lopez and Ryan Simon-
son were sentenced Tuesday
in a Grand Rapids courtroom
in the January 2008 death of
Jonathan "Jono" Krystiniak, a
defensive lineman at Ottawa
University in Kansas.
A jury convicted Freeman of manslaughter in March. Simonson, Lopez and Gaston previously accepted plea deals. A fifth man, Casey Therriault, is already serving six months in jail as part of a plea agreement. Freman has been sentenced to 27 months to 15 years in prison, Gaston to a year in jail and five years of probation, and Lopez and Simonson both to one to three years in prison
Lopez apologized at the hearing to Krystiniak's mother.

COMMENTARY
Associated Press
I don't watch daytime television. It's always struck me as a fantasy realm of phony judges and soap operas reserved for the unemployed and stay-at-home moms.
That was until Xavier, C.J. and Carl Henry — with considerable
help from
John Calipari,
Rivals.com
and three
sets of rabid
fan bases —
turned a seem-
ingly straight-
forward decision into "The
---
Henry
Young and the Ambivalent."
All the pieces for a Daytime Emmy Award are already there. The drama is real. The characters are decidedly human and the final outcome is anyone's guess. By this time tomorrow, people are going to be waking up from comas to complicate a delicate situation even further.
All joking aside, the daytime television parallels are a little eerie.
BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
There's the tilted lower (recruit) left standing at the altar and pondering the future: Xavier Henry. There's the smooth-talking ladies man (recruiter) trying to keep as many beautiful women (blue-chip players) on his arm as possible: Calipari. There's the other woman (recruit), waiting for the smoke to clear to make a decision: Lance
Stephenson.
Finally, there's the patriarch keeping everyone guessing with a mixture of fact and conjecture:
Carl Henry.
C. HARRIS
Stephenson
And then there are the rest of us: the audience held in rapture by this saga's every twist and turn. It's
hard to watch,but it's even harder to look away.
If you've somehow missed the most recent — and ridiculous — developments, Carl told the Lawrence Journal-World and Rivals on Monday that a decision was imminent and that no official visit to Kentucky would be necessary.
To make matters even murkier, C.J. — who will most likely join Xavier wherever he ends up — spoke to Rivals later that day, saying that he hadn't heard anything about a visit to Kentucky but that it was a possibility Xavier, for his part, told TheShiver.com that he and C.J. would indeed be visiting Kentucky.
Only a few hours later, Carl reversed course, telling Zagsblog.com that Xavier informed him that he would be taking an official visit to Lexington after all.
Finally, Rivals reported on Tuesday that the only sure thing was that Xavier would attend his senior prom this Friday night in Oklahoma. He could then leave
THE MORNING BREW
Saturday to visit Kentucky, but Carl wouldn't speculate about whether the visit would actually occur or when a final decision would be made.
Translation: The only guarantee is that there aren't any.
So today, just like yesterday and the day before, Kansas and Kentucky fans will stayed glued to "The Young and Ambivalent" for the latest drama. They will scur Rivals for every tidbit of information possible.
They will do it because — like with any soap opera — it's all about the suspense and what might happen, not necessarily the end result.

Criminal probe opened in horse deaths
BY BRIAN SKOLOFF Associated Press
Horses wait behind the gates of Lechuza Caracas Polo and Equestrian stables one day after the death of 21 of their polo ponies in Wellington, Fla. Monday. The horses became sick just before to a scheduled match at the club on Sunday.
WELLINGTON, Fla. — Organ by organ, veterinarians are taking apart 21 prized polo horses to uncover what killed them mysteriously over the weekend during preparations for a match in one of the sport's top championships. Simultaneously, state authorities have opened a criminal probe to determine whether the deaths were intentional, a result of negligence or simply a terrible accident.
With careful cuts to their muscular bodies, the investigators look for lesions, fluids, bruises and hemorrhages, any obvious signs of sickness. They're removing the hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys and spleens, and cutting small samples to be tested for toxins. The process unfolds much as it would for a dead person.
"We want to make sure from a law enforcement standpoint that there was no impropriety ... no purposeful harm or laws violated in Florida," said Terence McElroy, spokesman for the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which is handling the case with help from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
The horses from the Venezuela-owned team began collapsing Sunday as they were unloaded from trailers at the International Polo Club Palm Beach, with some
"Should criminal activity surface, we don't want to be so far behind the eight-ball that were playing catch-up."
GREG RICHTER Sheriff's Captain
State officials think the horses died from an adverse drug reaction, toxins in their food or supplements, or a combination of the two. Two days after the horses' deaths, authorities said they had not uncovered any crime but continue to investigate.
dying at the scene and others hours later. They were set to compete in the sport's U.S. Open tournament ahead of the finals this coming Sunday, and were seen as top contenders.
While veterinarians work
with their scalpels, investigators are interviewing everyone who encountered the horses the day of the game and gathering evidence such as feed and supplements from the stables where the horses were kept.
"Should criminal activity surface, we don't want to be so far behind the eight-ball that we're playing catch-up," sheriff's Capt.
Greg Richter said.
The exhaustive process included more evidence collecting Tuesday at the stables used by the Lechuza Polo team, said Dr. Michael Short, the state's equine programs manager who is helping coordinate the case.
The investigation hinges on a combination of interviews with players and groomers, tests of feed and a history of the horses' training regimens. Short said. Information gathered there and during the necropsies will help investigators refine their approach to the toxicologies.
finished, possibly by Wednesday, Short expects that testing blood and tissue for toxins will be more important in pinpointing a cause of death. But results from toxicologies could take weeks.
And while the necropsies could yield important clues when they're
"In these cases, because we're suspecting that this is most likely some type of toxin or poison, we may not see anything definitive" in the necropsies. Short said.
The team's owner, prominent Venezuelan banker Victor Vargas, has not spoken publicly since the deaths. In fact, it's unclear if Vargas, president of the Venezuelan Banking Association, or the team are still in Florida. Authorities would not say.

Castroneve couldn't wait to get back to the track with his team and friends again.
"To be back in racing so fast, people were like, 'are you sure you're able to do that?' he said. "Guys, you don't understand. The only place I want to be right now is racing. The only place I want to be is with my team. That's me. That's what I did since I was 11 years old. I just missed it so much."
Once Castroneves got back on the track, it was as if he never left.
Sure, it was a bit of an adjustment to get the feel for the car; working out the braking points, when to downshift, remembering the nuances of the track. He figured it out quickly, though, qualifying eighth despite a crash that left him with a headache on Saturday, and finishing seventh at the race on Sunday.
"It took a little while. It's like when you play tennis for a while and you stop: The ball seems to come a little faster to you," Castronews said. "It was a lot of little things coming back slowly."
Whatever happens from here,

SOFTBALL
Jayhawks capsize in game two against Hurricane
BY BEN WARD bward@ku.edu
Tuesday's doubleheader in Tulsa amounted to yet another split for Kansas softball.
The Jawhawks won the first game 6-3 but fell in the second 4-0, marking the team's fifth split in its past seven series. Inconsistent play has plagued Kansas (17-26, 4-8) all season. The two contests on Tuesday exemplified the team's struggles.
"The two games were night and day," senior outfielder Dougie McCauley said. "We played well in game one, but in the second game we made a bunch of mistakes defensively and just couldn't get the bats going."
Game 1:6-3,W
WP - Blair (2-3), LP - Kinard (10-6), SV - George (1), HR - Pottert (5), Clark (6)
Game 2:0-4,L
WP - Lawrence (13-4), LP
-Vertelka (6-9), SV - none,
HSrion, SW, H
The Jayhawks had those bats going early in game one, though, scoring five runs the first inning. McCaulley led off the game with a triple and soon scored on an RBI single by senior third baseman Val Chapple. On the next pitch, senior catcher
Elle Pottorf blasted a home run, and two batters later, sophomore utility player Allie Clark launched a home run of her own.
"It was a huge boost to get those runs so quickly," Bunge said. "It really picked us up and made it much easier for our pitching staff."
Tulaa countered with three runs of its own in the second, but the layhawk pitchers held off the Golden Hurricane bats the rest of the way.
Freshman Sarah Blair picked up a victory for Kansas after relieving senior Valerie George in the second inning. Blair struck out two in the next four frames and retired nine Tula batters in a row at one point.
George returned to the circle in the sixth inning, and she worked
"Blair struggled in her first inning but settled down really nicely
the final two innings on the way to earning her first save of the season
and gave us some small innings," coach Tracy Bunge said. "But with a couple runners on in the sixth, we had to bring George back in with the experience, and she shut them down."
The layhawks also had a balanced offensive attack, with six
players combining for eight hits in the game. McCaulley and junior first baseman Amanda Jobe each had two hits and two runs scored.
Tulaa got on the board first in game two, jumping ahead 1-0 in the fourth on a sacrifice fly. The Golden Hurricane then smacked six hits in
"We played well in game one, but in the second game we made a bunch of mistakes defensively..."

the fifth, chasing junior pitcher Sarah Vereltal from the game and extending the lead to 4-0.
"Sarah was actually pitching pretty well out there," Bunge said. "She just made a couple of
mistakes here and there, and Tula really made the most out of them."
Despite racking up their six runs and eight hits in the first game, the
Jayhawk bats were silenced in the nightcap. Tulsa junior Jackie Lawrence was strong from the circle, allowing only five hits while striking out seven Kansas batters.
McCaulley said Lawrence had pitched a good game but should have been hittable for the Jayhawks.
Despite two hips apple from McCauley and sophomore shortstop Kolby Fesmire, the team was unable to duplicate the offensive success of game one.
PGA
"We've got to work through our at-bats better," McCaulley said. "We just struggled to make adjustments."

Cabrera's win at Augusta helps Oakmont's champion status
BY DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
If great golf courses are defined by their major champions, then it's easy to understand why the membership at Oakmont Country Club was so thrilled to see Angel Cabrera in a green jacket.
No other championship course in America can boast such a long and distinguished list of major champions.
Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan. Jack Nicklaus. Johnny Miller. Ernie Els.
Not many people knew much about Cabrera when he won the U.S. Open at Oakmont two years ago by one shot over Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk. He was big, burly and his hardscrabble life was as much Pittsburgh as it was Argentina.
Oakmont has hosted 11 men's professional majors, and only two of its champions — local pro Sam Parks Jr. at the 1935 U.S. Open and John Mahaffey at the 1978 PGA Championship — never won another Grand Slam event.
Thanks to Cabrera's victory at the Masters, the one-hit wonders will stay at two.
"I think it's very important," said Bob Ford, the longtime head pro at Oakmont. "It validates this as a course that produces great champions. Great names win here. We were hoping for Woods to win, and when Angel won, it was like, 'Who is this guy?'
"Now, he's a Masters champion."
Oakmont has some competition as the greatest roll call of major champions.
Augusta National doesn't count for obvious reasons — it's the only course that holds a major every year.
Ditto for St. Andrews, the home of golf, where the British Open has been played 27 times. That might be the greatest place to win any major, for even Nicklaus, a six-time Masters champion, once said. "I was always told that to be a good golfer is one thing, but to be a great golfer is to win at St. Andrews." The British Open has used only 14 links courses for its 137 championships.
As for American courses used for the U.S. Open and PGA Championship?
Pebble Beach can surely state its case with Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tom Kite and Woods winning the U.S. Open, and Lanny Wadkins winning the PGA Championship. All of them are, or will be, in the Hall of Fame.
Oakland Hills has hosted nine majors, and while its list includes two players with the career Grand Slam (Hogan, Gary Player) and four other multiple major champions (Padraig Harrington, Ralph Guldhall, David Graham and Andy North), it also features Steve Jones and Cyril Walker. The nine winners at "The Monster" have combined to capture 30 majors.
MERCADO
Cabrera plans to return this summer to Oakmont to take part in a recent tradition of awarding national champions an honorary membership to the club. Ford said Cabrera will be presented a jacket worn only by members.
Most appropriately, Oakmont's jacket is green.

It is not problematic that Orton is keeping his commitment to Kentucky. With Cole Aldrich returning and plenty of frontline depth, Kansas hardly needs a center.
Orton, and Lance Stephenson could end up in Lawrence.
Wall hasn't committed yet, but Sherron Collins opted to return
The potential spurring of Stephenson (by prioritizing him behind Henry) is another matter. Some would tell you that he should go elsewhere. His perceived arrogance and penchant for self promotion seem to have offended the team-first sensibilities of many Kansas fans.
But although Stephenson's character is called into question, he would provide the only thing
for a senior season, which likely killed Kansas's chances of landing him. But again, as good as Wall is, the jayhawks are fairly well stocked with backcourt talent already.
the layhawks might lack next season: a true swingman who can treat offensively.
And now, Kansas may have to cancel the dinner reservations, and try and get the deposit back on the tux.
Unfortunately, it looks like Henry might follow his ex to a new school. Not surprisingly, Stephenson feels jilted.
The similarities are really quite striking. Kansas had

The coaching staff continues to deliberate about who will fill
in for graduated perennial starters Joe Mortensen, Mike Rivera and James Holt.
"Arist Wright has shown some signs that he can do some really good things," Mangino said. "Anus Quiiley is."
a really good athlete, he can run around and run to the ball. We also have jake Scherner, who has been with us and has done some good things."
Mangino added that speed would be required of the new starters and that some of next season's contributors may be players who aren't yet on campus.
"We have some young kids coming into the program and we'll be anxious to see them and
what they can contribute in the fall," Mangino said.
"You need a lot of things to win a championship, there are a lot of things involved."

Regardless of what happened at the weekend series against Texas Tech, Kansas would have been ready for this game. A lot of homebred players are on the team and the rivalry means the world to them, such as Lawrence native Heere. This doesn't count as a conference game, but look for this game to be played at the same level as any other Big 12 showdown.

Thompson's power could lead to awards
"He got off to a slow start just like any freshman usually does" Robby Price said. "But you look at the last third of the year in the Big 12 conference and I think he finished over 300 in the Big 12 conference as a freshman. So he had that confidence."
Running out of superlatives to describe Thompson, Robby Price just smiled, laughed and described Thompson in the simplest way.
Robby Price said he noticed the way Thompson handled himself on and off the field this year.
"Obviously, the dude's been awesome," He said. "You can't have a better year than what he's doing right now."
"He's got a chance," Price said. "He's in position to end up this thing as a good a season anybody's ever had at the University of Kansas."
Sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson is leading a season to remember, leading the Big 12 in RBIs. He is also second in home runs and third in batting average. It seems as though Thompson can't go a game without getting at least one RBI.
Junior second baseman Robby Price said it had been a fun ride watching Thompson explode onto the scene as a potential perennial power-hitter in the Big 12.
Taking a look at the Big 12 leader boards, there is a familiar name near the top of every category.
Thompson has put up numbers worthy of the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year title and has carried Kansas at times with his 12 home runs and 54 RBIs. Coach Ritch Price certainly won't scoff at the idea of Thompson's name in the running for the award, which would be a first for the program.
"I'm sure I can — I just don't really want to," Thompson said, laughing. "I'd be nice to get one in every game."
Thompson's gaudy numbers are also placing him in the running to be the conference's first triple-crown winner. Price won't count Thompson out for that achievement, either.
"I think his numbers are better than the guys at Texas," Price said. "They're winning with pitching. He's certainly doing it on the offensive side of the ball."
Thompson now has RBIs in 11 of his past 14 games.
"It's our goal all year to be atop the Big 12 at the end of conference play." Thompson said.
But Thompson's sole focus is keeping the Jayhawks in the hunt for a Big 12 championship.

CLEVELAND — Grady Sizemore hit a three-run homer and the Cleveland Indians turned double plays in six straight innings in an 8-7 victory against the Kansas City Royals Tuesday night.
Sizemore connected in the fourth as the Indians built a 6-1 lead, but it was the six double-play balls that saved the day for the Tribe.
Aaron Laffey (1-0) was helped by double-play grounders in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Coco Crisp bounced into an inning-ending double play in the seventh after Kansas City loaded the bases.
Kansas City rallied for four runs in the eighth, but that threat ended when Jensen Lewis got Miguel Olivo to bounce into a double play with the tying run on first.

Local designers at a fashion show
BY JENNIFER TORLINE
jtorline@kansan.com
Sustainable clothing will be all the rage at tonight's "Art on the Green" Spring Student Night at the Spencer Museum of Art.
Local designers will show off their fashions made from recycled fabrics and organic or fair-trade cloth during the night's sustainable fashion show.
"We decided it was important for different students to be aware of different options they had for clothes and how they could reuse clothes," Megan Turner, Olathe senior and the museum's student outreach coordinator, said.

The museum's Student Advisory Board is sponsoring the event, which lasts from 6 to 8 p.m., and is part of the University's "From Blue to Green: Conserve KU" month.
While the fashion show will be the focus of the evening, other activities will also adhere to the night's green theme, based on the "Climate Change at the Poles" and the "Trees & Other Ramifications" exhibitions at the museum.
Throughout the evening, Wang Tiande, the museum's artist in-residence from China, will demonstrate calligraphy on the sidewalks in front of the museum, and students can also decorate reusable grocery bags with nature stencils. A live bluegrass band and DJ Stackswell will provide music.
To help attract more students to the museum's exhibitions, advisory board member Sarah Bluvas said the fashion show's catwalk would be in the galleries.
"We're trying to get students into the museum and engaging them with the arts and starting new conversations with art." Bluvas, Atlanta junior, said.
The fashion show will include outfits from five

MONEY
Finance class gives advice on saving
BY MICOLE ARONOWITZ maronowitz@kansan.com
As stories of the recession continue to dominate the news, many students are growing increasingly concerned about their own money situations. Students who take FIN 101, a personal finance class, get the help they need to be not only more fiscally savvy, but also to be more independent once they graduate.
"I figured when I'm out of college I should have some basic knowledge of the financial world," Hans Tregear, Wichita senior, said. "This class teaches all the basics I need to know as far as surviving financially."
The topics discussed help students both in the shortterm with tips on budgeting, loans and reading the fine print on credit card statements, while also preparing them for the future by covering how to invest in stocks and bonds, file taxes and save for retirement.
Students learn how to budget their money by preparing a balance sheet, which helps them keep track of their expenses by computing how much money they have and what money they have to spend.
"I actually sat down and wrote out in detail what I had to pay with what money I actually had," Tregear said. "It made me more financially responsible."
course description
FIN 101:

2. Obama 'misunderstood Raul Castro's remarks
HAVANA — Fidel Castro says President Barack Obama "misinterpreted" his brother Raul's remarks regarding the United States and bristled at the suggestion that Cuba should free political prisoners or cut taxes on dollars people send to the island.
Raul Castro touched off a whirlwind of speculation last week that the U.S. and Cuba could be headed toward a thaw after nearly a half-century of chilly relations.
The speculation began when
Drawn by cheap North Korean labor, more than 100 South Korean companies have set up factories at Kaesong. The North says the labor is too cheap, a position that some South Korean analysts said Wednesday could threaten the existence of the complex itself.
North Korean workers in the complex just north of the heavily armed border are paid about $70 a month on average — about half that of Chinese laborers at South Korean factories in China, according to the South Korean government.

DOTHAN, Ala. — The man who killed 10 people during last month's shooting spree in south Alabama left a letter for relatives, writing that he wanted people to pay for making his mother and him suffer, according to a report published Wednesday.
In the letter obtained by The Dothan Eagle newspaper, Michael McLendon wrote that he shot his mother to death while she slept, then set fire to the rural home they shared. After leaving the burning house March 10, McLendon went on a 24-mile shooting spree with four guns and more than 200 rounds of ammunition. He killed nine more people, including four other relatives, before committing suicide.
"Moma was very sick. Had lung cancer I think. So I put her out of her misery," McLendon wrote.
"I'm sorry! But Moma had suffered enough. And so have I. Some of the people who made us suffer will pay."
Obama responded at the Summit of the Americas by saying Washington seeks a new beginning with Cuba. But as he prepared to leave the summit Sunday, Obama also called on Cuba to release political prisoners and reduce taxes on remittances from the U.S.
An autopsy did not support McLendon's claims about his mother being ill, said Coffee County Chief Deputy R.W. Whitworth.

NEW ORLEANS — Mosquito control workers can measure the recession by the number of green, cloudy swimming pools they see — algae-covered havens for mosquitoes dotting neighborhoods hit by the foreclosure crisis.
Aside from their annoying bites, mosquitoes carry West Nile virus and other diseases. With the number of foreclosures rising, it's becoming a more-important challenge to track down abandoned homes with pools from suburban Washington, D.C., to California
In Phoenix, for example, the number of pools left untended rose from about 6,000 in 2007 to more than 9,100 last year, said John Townsend, division manager for Maricopa County Vector Control.

Wisconsin game managers get scores of reported sightings each year. They try to determine which are false, which are other animals such as bobcats, and which are cougars. Only two cougars have been confirmed in the state. The cougar killed in Chicago was seen and left clear tracks in the snow months earlier in the Milton area of Wisconsin's Rock County, 100 miles away, in January 2008.
CALEDONIA, Wis. — Anna Lashley can't forget her surprise when she looked out her kitchen window three years ago just south of Milwaukee and spotted what she believes was a cougar. Although the animals were wiped out in most of the eastern U.S. a century ago, they have recently shown up, migrating from the Black Hills of South Dakota into places like Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Six friends travel to Nashville for marathon
The students will run 13.1 miles Saturday after training for 10 weeks
love. CRO
Ryan McGeevey/NANSAM Taylor Mann, Hutchinson freshman, Carolyn Yang, Manhattan sophomore, Heidi Wetzel, Manhattan sophomore, Holly Maygers, Lawrence sophomore, and Maria Zielinski, Saline, Mich., sophomore, go for a brief jog through the Oread neighborhood Wednesday afternoon. The five women are part of a group that is traveling to Nashville for this weekend's Country Music Marathon & 1/2 Marathon.
BY MICHELLE SPREHE
msprehe@kansan.com
Zielinski, Saline, Mich, sophomore, said running a marathon was something she had wanted to do for a long time.
Maria Zielinski and five of her friends are driving 597 miles tonight and Friday to Nashville, where they will run 13.1 miles Saturday in the Country Music Marathon & 1/2 Marathon.
"I would make this New Year's resolution for the past three years to run a marathon," Zielinksi said. "But I never got around to it — I'd make up excuses."
When Zielinski proposed the idea to her friends, she was surprised they agreed because they were not runners.
Ryan McGeenev/KANSAN
"A few of the girls and I kind of peer pressured the rest into doing it." Zielinski said. "We don't want it to be all serious and competitive, we just want to have a fun time, laugh and run 13.1 miles together."
Zielinski said they planned on running in the Lawrence marathon, but when it was canceled, they decided to go to Nashville. This is the tenth year for the Country Music Marathon. Zielinski and her friends paid an $85 registration fee that goes to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training.
"A big thing about finding a marathon was the date," Zielinski said. "We wanted to make sure we
could miss classes to drive there.
The girls, who have been training for ten weeks, found their training schedule on runnersworld.com and used mapmyrun.com to decide on routes to run.
"We've been all over planning new and exciting routes so we don't get bored." Zielinski said.
Zielinski and her friends usually run in pairs or groups so they can keep each other motivated throughout the run.
Holly Maygers, Lawrence sophomore, was dubbed "most improved" by her friends because she has struggled the most with running and staying motivated.
"I started out not being able to run two miles straight," Maygers said.
Maygers is now able to keep up with the others and has gone on two 10-mile runs.
"My roommate Molly picked a 10-mile route for us to go on and it was the hilliest, most awful thing I've ever done," Maygers said. "I was 20 feet behind my roomsate the entire time, but I made it."
Maygers said she struggled the most with getting motivated to go on a run.
"I've said all along my motto for this has been it's not just about finishing a half marathon, it's my quest for self-discipline," Maygers said. "Getting that out of it and having some sense of accomplishment will be the best."
Molly Flyer, Lawrence sopho
more, who has been friends with Maygers since they were four years old, said she liked watching the progress Maygers made.
"Weve all been really good at
keeping each other motivated." Flyer said.
Flyer and Maygers said they realized from the training experience that they both enjoyed running
and they didn't dread it as much as they used to.
"Ive never been a runner and I don't really feel comfortable calling myself a runner now." Maygers
said. "But it's a good release for me and I glad I found that out."

SPEAKER
Guest lecturer opens creativity to all
BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@kansan.com
Dr. R. Keith Sawyer will give a lecture on creativity at 7:30 p.m. today in Spooner Hall. Sawyer, professor of psychology and education at Washington University in St. Louis, has written nine books on creativity. The event is part of the 2009 University Lecture Series at The Commons and will be sponsored by the Honors Program and the School of Journalism.
Tim Bengtson, professor of journalism, nominated Sawyer to speak for the University Lecture Series.
up with something positive."
Bengtson said he had used two of Sawyer's books, "Explaining Creativity" and "Group Genius: The Creative Power of Collaboration," to teach students in his creativity courses at the Edwards Campus.
"It can show students that creativity is not some mystical thing totally beyond our comprehension," Bengtson said. "Rather, it is within our reach, and all we have to do is develop an attitude that says we can do these kinds of things and then if we work hard, we end
Bengtson said "Explaining Creativity" focused on the creative process.
"The two things that stand out in my mind is if one wants to create ideas," Bengtson said, "one better prepare to work hard and to keep one's eyes and ears open, so one doesn't miss something that appears to be pretty minor, but is significant to the eventual outcome, the solution."
"The book had an insightful perspective on creativity — it seeks to dispel myths about creativity," Hardy said. "I would say that this perspective has informed my approach to creativity."
Hardy said the average student would benefit from going to the lecture, and those interested in the topic of creativity should check out the book. Hardy said he planned to attend the lecture tonight.
Bengtson said "Explaining Creativity" focused on the myth of creativity occurring in a vacuum.
"The stereotypical view, the historical view, is that creative people work alone and in isolation and they go through a creative process," Bengtson said. "Here's this Sawyer guy saying, 'Forget all that stuff.'
Bengtson said people like Darwin and the Wright brothers had to have input from others to come up with their ideas.
Beverly Mack, professor of African and African American Studies, taught the HNRS 492 course this semester, in which the students read "Explaining Creativity."
"The students who took this course this spring would agree that creativity is possible for all individuals." Mack said. "The students found it very helpful as an overview that offers a wide range of perspectives on the topic of creativity."
Mack said she had experienced the process of creativity in her own life.
"I have collaborated with two colleagues in the publication of three books, and have found the experience to be enriching and satisfying." Mack said. "Two different perspectives are brought together in a work that is much richer than it could be were it to be authored by just one person."
Bengtsson said Sawyer's work could be applied to anyone's life.
"He really has taken creativity from this pedestal where it's beyond us folks so don't even think about it," Bentson said. "He's put it on the kitchen table for all of us to start enjoyning."

Ghost encounters of the third kind
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
2009 ed places
Glenn Tours Kansas released its 2009 edition of the top five most haunted places in Kansas on March 28.
---
Lawrence didn't make the list, but Beth Cooper, co-owner of Ghost Tours Kansas, said that didn't mean the city wasn't haunted. Cooper said the list only included places that Ghost Tours Kansas paranormal investigators, who haven't made it to Lawrence yet, determined were haunted.
"At this point, it is hard to get into some of these locations," Cooper said. "The Eldridge Hotel is not going to shut down just so we can do an investigation."
ROBERT J. DOLE

www.doleinstitute.org
Cooper said Lawrence was home to places
that were definitely haunted, locations where many people believe paranormal activity occurs.
Students who have lived in, explored and investigated these places said they knew what she was talking about.
STULL CEMETERY
Stull Cemetery, where the devil is said to return twice a year, is located about 15 miles from Lawrence. The cemetery was named Haunted America Tours 2009's second-most haunted cemetery in America.
"It was pretty obvious the chair was tilting in a way that it should not have without some external force."
Cooper said the Stull myth began in 1974 after University Daily Kansan reporters wrote a story claiming the cemetery was "haunted by diabolical, supernatural happenings."
that never ends and the satanic rituals performed at the burnt down church, Gena Pollack, Tulsa, Okla, freshman, decided she had to go to Stull.
After hearing about the stair case
Pollack and four of her friends turned off their car lights so they wouldn't get caught and drove in through the open cemetery gates, which are usually closed, she said.
One of her friends got out of the car to go to the bathroom. After he was gone for five minutes, Pollack said, they began to worry. But then he came back.

That was the closest they got to a paranormal experience.
"We were just testing the theory, but nothing creepy happened." Pollack said. "I would say it was disappointing."

Cooper said a paranormal investigator visited the
Joe Hermens, former KU student, stayed in room 506 in the Eldridge Hotel his sophomore year with three of his friends. The fifth floor is said to be the most haunted floor in the Eldridge, and Cooper said people from across the country traveled to Lawrence just to stay in room 506, where the most paranormal activity supposedly occurs.
THE ELDRIDGE
While he waited for his friends to show up, Hermens noticed an empty chair across from him tilting back and forth as if someone were leaning backwards on it. Hermens
said that the rocking went on for about a minute and that he was able to take pictures of it on his camera phone. Just to make sure an employee didn't attach strings to the chair, he said, he waved his hands around it before hastily walking out of the room.

He said he wasn't sure whether he had an actual encounter with a ghost, but the rest of the night he and his friends avoided the area.
"It was pretty obvious the chair was tilting in a way that it should not have without some external force," Hermens said. "I am willing to admit that there are not a lot of explanations that account for what happened."
Mannequins lie across the floor in a building of paranormal activity during the ghost tour of Inchon. In addition to Lawrence, there are also tours of Topeka, Manhattan and Holton.
Cooper said she was certain the Eldridge was haunted.
THE SIGMA NU FRATERNITY HOUSE
Behind the plaque, the ashes of Virginia, the mistress and adopted daughter of governor Roscoe Stubbs, are said to rest. Cooper said Stubbs, who built the home in the early-1900s, sent his wife away after finding Virginia hanging in a closet in the house.
The plaque above the Sigma Nu house fireplace reads "World of strife shut out. World of love shut in."
John Leroy, Leawood senior, has lived in the house for two years. He said he has heard Virginia's footsteps in the hall when no one was around. The door of the closet Virginia was supposedly killed in, Leroy said, often locks on its own.
"At recruitment they told the story about how the ghost Virginia lived there, then some of the older guys would share stories," Leroy said. "I think a lot of guys believe in it. It's probably better to err on the side of caution."
Cooper said she and members of the fraternity had discussed investigating the house to determine whether it's actually haunted, but nothing definite has been scheduled.
To this day, though, Cooper said, Virginia could still very well be shut in.
"Stubbs adopted a young girl, fell in love with her, but his wife didn't appreciate it and hung the girl in a closet." Cooper said. "Now, every generation of young people who have resided in the house all have stories."

It is rumored that on Halloween night in 1988, nearly 500 people gathered at the cemetery for Satan's expected arrival. The Douglas County Sheriff's department forced the crowd to leave before the devil showed up.

CRIME Mexican officials locate suspect in murder case
CINCINNATI — Authorities in Mexico have arrested a man in the slayings of four Mexican construction workers who had been beaten and methodically stabbed in the heart at the Ohio apartment they shared, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Santiago Moreno, 34, was arrested Sunday in Tampico, 335 miles northeast of Mexico City, and will be tried there, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said.
Authorities immediately suspected Moreno, who had bought a bus ticket to Mexico more than a week before the bodies were found. Authorities believe he killed his roommates to steal their money.
Deters, who usually seeks the death penalty in cases like this, said he thought there might be problems obtaining witnesses if he tried the case in the U.S. And although Mexico does not have the death penalty, he was satisfied by assurances from Mexican prosecutors that Moreno was likely to be convicted and to be sentenced to at least 60 years in prison.

FINANCE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
When the School of Business first offered the class in 2007, it was designed to facilitate 50 students. This semester, enrollment for the class has doubled.
In Fall 2008, Bill Lewis, distinguished lecturer in finance, came out of retirement to teach the class.
He said the excitement of seeing students understand new concepts was a rewarding aspect of teaching the course.
"You can tell it is something beneficial to them versus just something they had to learn to get their degree," Lewis said.
Tregear said the personal finance class was one of the few classes he continually attended.
He attributed his attendance to Lewis' entertaining teaching style, which combined real-world stories with textbook teaching.
"Professor Lewis has so much real-world experience that even 1 am sometimes shocked at some of the stories and situations," said Gerry Kloiber, graduate teaching assistant for the class and MBA student. "Those little stories from outside the classroom keep the students interested."
Tax returns, car loans, home mortgages and maintaining a good credit record are all subjects examined during the course. Kloiber said taxes were what students found most challenging.
He said most students had never filled out a tax form before. The course explains which forms are used for different filings.
Credit card debt, Klober said, was an eye-opening topic for students.
Lewis said it was better to have a credit card versus a debit card, but only if they understood the concept
For example, he said, if students had a $500 credit limit but maxed out their cards, there was still a chance to pay it off.
He said the benefit of credit was having between 25 to 50 days to make sure there is enough money in their accounts to pay their bills on time.
With a debit card, he said, when
you overdraw from your account,
you automatically were hit with service charges from the bank.
Tregear said learning about credit cards and how the rate worked was something he applied to his own life.
He said learning about reading the fine print put him at an advantage.
"In class, we heard stories of people who got screwed over by credit card companies because they didn't read the fine print," Tregear said. "They were paying stuff off longer or getting charged more than they expected."
What Lewis hoped students would take away from the class was
an understanding of basic concepts such as the value of money over time and the power of compounding.
He advised students to start saving early so their money would grow and be beneficial to them when they were older.
"Save early and save often," Lewis said. "Make sure you are minimizing your expenses and get them invested as soon as you can so you can take advantage of the time value of money and the compounding effect money has."
Kloiber said students wouldn't know how the class would affect them until after they were out of school.
He said a few weeks ago he
received an e-mail from a student who took the class last semester. The student said that what he learned in the class, he was now using in his daily life.
"A lot of students don't comprehend it right away, but when they get out in the real world a lot of that stuff will start popping up again," Kloiber said.
Tregear said he has learned some valuable financial concepts. He said he was glad to learn in the classroom before stepping out into the real world.
"It's better to learn it this way than the hard way." Tregear said.

"I'm all about really classic
The fashion show will also feature sustainable accessories, including bamboo or coconut earrings.
Arthur said one way to make a more environmentally friendly wardrobe was by recycling clothes or adjusting them. For instance, making a pair of pants with an extra long hemline will last for a longer time.

Bluvas said sustainable fashion played an important part in art and the environment, something that the student board wanted to portray in its Student Night.
Student Night is more than students getting together for

Students overlook Kansas City jazz
BY DANNY NORDSTROM
Ben Kolberg, Montgomery, Ala., senior, was in pain. During a set break at the
Dr. Lonnie Smith concert at the Blue Room in Kansas City, Mo., Kolber was complaining that his face hurt because he had been smiling so much.
"I think jazz, more than a lot of other music, can be emotion-filled," he said. "Watching these masters of jazz from three different generations collaborate and make musical connections is just really cool."
The Kansas City area has an abundance of jazz history and entertainment opportunities. Students should take advantage of the many exciting musical opportunities that are easily accessible in the Kansas City area and give jazz a try.
Kolber traveled to Kansas City Monday night to witness jazz legend Dr. Lonnie Smith perform at the American Jazz Museum's Blue Room, Michael Bruchis, Montgomery, Ala., senior, also attended the Dr. Lonnie Smith Show.
"Kansas City is pretty incred-ible," Bruchis said. "Jazz pretty much started in Kansas City and New Orleans. It's awesome seeing jazz bands in Kansas City because they're always incredibly excited to play where it all started."
"I think a lot of people probably think of it as music of their parents' generation," said Kevin Whitehead, American Studies lecturer. "They don't try to deal with it in the context of contemporary music."
The group of KU students was substantially younger than the mostly over-40 crowd.
Whitehead has written several books about jazz and is a jazz music critic for NPR and the site emusic.com. He said that although jazz music was not mainstream, elements of popular music could be found in the genre consistently.
"When you have improvised content, it keeps itself up to date," he said. "It's very susceptible to modern influences. There's always a way of reflecting popular music into jazz even though it might not come across as popular music."
Whitehead cited the incorporation of hip-hop elements into current jazz music as a perfect example.
Bruchis doesn't think enough students are taking advantage of the many opportunities the Kansas City area has to offer, partly because many students simply haven't been introduced to the jazz culture.
Kober agreed with Bruchis that not enough young people were into jazz but said he had noticed a change since he had been at the University.
"I feel like a lot more young people are getting into jazz," he said. "The more people I meet, the more people that like it. It's by no means underground, but I feel like jazz can be a very complicated art. It's encouraging to see more young people getting into jazz."
Nordstrom is a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, sophomore in journalism and economics.

First 100 days an irrelevant mark
More than a year ago, I stood in a crowded building, wearing my prized "Barack Chalk Jayhawk" shirt, making sure that people who had come to support a certain Illinois senator weren't swayed to move to a different corner, symbolically supporting another candidate (or, as the case turned out, looking for a less crowded area).
It was the Kansas Democratic caucus and we were at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Outside were the beginnings of a rather inconvenient snowstorm, and inside, a few thousand people were wishing others would hurry up and let them leave.
The first hundred days are supposedly an indicator of what a president's term will look like. This is best exemplified by Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, whose first hundred days in office accurately predicted the rest of his two terms of relative peace, economic growth and general
During the caucus, a man who had been lingering in the "uncommitted" section for some time asked me a question I wasn't prepared for: "What will Barack Obama do in his first hundred days as President?"
domestic contentment.
LIBERAL LOUDMOUTH
BEN COHEN
Wait, hold on, what? Sorry about that, folks. I've just been informed that the rest of Bush's presidency was nothing like that. In fact, it seems that those next seven years and 265 days saw quite a bit of international conflict, cynicism among Americans — the likes of which Nixon wouldn't have wished on anyone — and of course, the rise of the ShamWow. I have no idea how that last one is Bush's fault, actually, but I choose to blame him anyway.
The first hundred days of a presidency really aren't that relevant. For all the times I've been told the first three and a half months of a term make up the most significant part, nobody has ever really explained how they matter so much. Most, if not all, of the Cabinet is put together in that time, sure, but those positions have a habit of rotating. How many attorneys general did
President Bush go through, again?
If I could have looked into the future, I would certainly have a lot to tell that man at the caucus (I also wouldn't have started compiling a list of fun ways I could slander Mitt Romney, and maybe would have bought more lottery tickets). I would have loved to say, "He'll ride on a gallant steed into the White House and fix the world's problems with a golden sword," but I don't think the man was quite high enough to accept that. And although it is great to look at what President Obama has accomplished as the arbitrary hundred-days milestone approaches, there's no real way anyone can tell for sure what is going to happen the rest of his time in office.
I'm an optimist for sure, but I'm also, at least occasionally, a realist. Maybe that's what I should have told the man at the caucus (who ended up standing in the "Obama section" anyway). Watch those first hundred all you want, but don't start breathing again once they're over, whether you like the guy in office or not.

SCIENCE
Doctors just as responsible for safe drugs as 'Big Pharma'
In 2008, two York University researchers published a paper called "The Cost of Pushing Pills: A New Estimate of Pharmaceutical Promotion Expenditures in the United States." The paper showed that United States pharmaceutical companies spend more on advertising their products (24 percent) than on researching new ones (13 percent).
Many in the health care industry are growing concerned with the increasing relationship between pharmaceutical representatives and physicians. Pharmaceutical representatives approach doctors, leave gifts and buy lunches, all the while promoting their company's newest drug. And when the patient sees the doctor signing the prescription with a pen advertising that same drug being given, the conflict of interest is clearly unsettling. Moving the interest of a medical doctor away from the health of the patient and toward the looming spectre of personal financial gain is troubling, and it becomes easy to blame "Big Pharma" for health care profiteering.
But one cannot place all the blame on the companies that develop and sell these drugs. These companies are still responsible for the development of novel drugs to continue to better treat a wide variety of illnesses, and the only way they can fund such a research endeavor is if they profit from their existing drugs.
Additionally, it is in the companies' best interest to maintain the well-being of their customers and the quality of their products. History has shown that the recall of "bad" drugs, such as Vioxx or PhenFen, have the potential to cost these companies billions of dollars.
The real solution for restoring good science to the
health care system lies with doctors and scientists. When a pharmaceutical representative tries to sell a physician on prescribing a new drug for all of his or her patients, it is the doctor's responsibility to determine the true scientific validity of the drug. Doctors should have the professional skill to understand the scientific research behind every drug they prescribe, and thus determine which patients should receive it.
The patient should also be engaged in understanding what drugs they are receiving and why. KU students are extremely fortunate when it comes to this kind of patient education. Using the KU Libraries services, students have access to a huge number of scientific and medical journals. This level of access is comparable to that of physicians themselves. If a student is uneasy about the safety and efficacy of a treatment or just wants to learn more, he or she has the resources to do so.

By increasing their understanding of their personal health care, patients can better understand and communicate with their doctors. This, combined with good scientific judgment on the part of the physician, can help negate any negative influence by the medical industry.
The pharmaceutical companies may not be entirely innocent, but the true responsibility for providing safe and effective health care rests upon the individual physician.

Memory fades in late 20s
BY MICOLE ARONOWITZ
maronowitz@kansan.com
Wait, what?
We've all been there. We've forgotten someone's name or come up blank trying to remember ...
Turns out there's a reason for those mental slipups. There is evidence to support that age-related cognitive decline in healthy adults begins in their late 20s after peaking in their early 20s, according to a study by the University of Virginia in the April 2009 issue of "Neurobiology of Aging."
Susan Kemper, professor of psychology, said every form of cognitive ability peaks in our early to mid 20s and then shows an age-related decline. These cognitive abilities include: memory, problem solving, attention and language. She said some people's cognitive abilities peaked earlier than others and some declined more rapidly.
Working memory, often referred to as short-term memory, peaks in the early 20s and then declines rapidly, Kemper said. This type of memory, she said, is how we remember information in terms of seconds and minutes versus
long term memory's days, weeks and years.
Graham Lakey, Kansas City, Kan., senior; said he noticed his short-term memory was beginning to slowly fade during his time at the University of Kansas. He said when a teacher asked him to recall information in class, he had a difficult time doing so.
"Now, I have to actually work at it, whereas before it would just click," Lakey said.
"We want to build better brains through training, education and experience so people may be able to have a longer window before those age-related declines start to handicap them and impair their everyday performance." Kemper said.
Sara Troll, Overland Park junior, said she rarely forgot day-to-day details. She attributes her keen memory to not watching television and not having the Internet at her apartment.
Kemper said there was evidence that conscious efforts could slow down the normal deterioration of age-related cognitive abilities.
"That helps with memory because if I'm watching TV all the time or on the Internet, I tend to
space out," Troll said.
To enhance her memory, Troll plays a game called Geo Challenge once every couple days. She said it was an interactive geography game which required memorization to match a country with its flag and locate countries on a map.
Kemper said there was interest in discovering other ways that memory could be improved. Antioxidants, which can be found in items such as blueberries and green tea, have the potential to slow the rate of cognitive decline as well, she said.
Along with mental stimulation, diet and exercise also build better minds and help slow down the rate of decline. Kemper said.
"Anything that's good for the heart is also good for the mind." she said.
Developing training programs for people with memory problems is a future endeavor that Kemper hopes can be beneficial in restoring memory. She said there was work being done to develop pharmaceuticals that could build stronger brains and make brains more resistant to age-related decline.

Victims' belongings found in BU student's home
BY DENISE LAVOIE Associated Press
BOSTON—A Boston University medical student accused of robbing women who advertised erotic services on Craigslist, killing one of them, had items belonging to both victims in his apartment, a law enforcement official said Wednesday.
Philip Markoff is charged with killing a masseuse at the Boston Marriott Copley Place hotel, in the historic Back Bay district, on April 14. He also is charged in the
robbery of a woman at another Boston hotel four days earlier.
A law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said police found items belonging to both women in Markoff's apartment in Quincy, south of Boston. The official wasn't authorized to speak about evidence in the investigation.
The official would not confirm a report by ABC News that the items seized by police included the victims' underwear. ABC News said two unidentified law enforcement sources said Markoff appeared to be collecting underwear as "souvenirs" from the victims
ABC News did not say how Markoff took the underwear, and he has not been accused of sexually assaulting either woman. Prosecutors have said he went through the purse of the first woman he's accused of robbing. Investigators are looking into gambling as the possible motivation.
Markoff, 23, is accused in the death of Julissa Brisman, a massseuse who was found dead in the doorway of her hotel room after being bashed in the head and shot three times.

Shuttles may be replaced
BY SETH BORENSTEIN
Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
[Spacecraft] Launched from the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, FL.
WASHINGTON — NASA is facing a critical deadline to make its biggest decision in a generation: whether to go forward with plans to retire the space shuttle fleet and replace it with a new mode of space travel. But the agency still has no chief to make the $230 billion call.
Tracks from the crawler transporter leave an imprint leading up to pad 398A after delivering space shuttle Endeavour to its destination from the Vehicle Assembly building at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., on Friday. NASA is facing a big deadline for a decision on whether to go forward with replacing its old shuttle fleet with a new mode of space travel. But it will not has no chance to make this $230 billion once in-a-generation call.
NASA seems so far off the White House radar, said one presidential expert, that it might as well be on Pluto.
And that's not all. A Congressional Budget Office report concluded that NASA cannot carry out its current plans on its existing budget.
The report outlined options that include delaying the flight of the new spacecraft, spending more money to meet the current
"As each day goes by, the need for these decisions becomes greater and greater, and the absence of an administrator becomes more and more an issue," said John Logsdon, a member of the NASA Advisory Council who also advised President Barack Obama's campaign.
Obama's science adviser has said that crucial decisions on the shuttle and a new spacecraft to carry astronauts back to the moon will not be made until NASA gets a new administrator. In an interview two weeks ago, John Holdren did not know when that would be.
But some in Congress want the shuttle to fly longer because retiring the fleet would force the U.S. to rely on Russia for trips to space for nearly five years. Obama has said he wants at least one more shuttle flight beyond those already planned.
A key deadline is April 30, when a congressional rule governing the shuttle's infrastructure expires. After that date, NASA will be free to start taking apart the shuttle program if it chooses.
NASA also has an extra $1 billion in stimulus money, but little direction in how to spend it.
schedule or drastically cutting back on science.
In past new administrations, the lack of a permanent boss might not have been such a big concern. The space program has typically focused on shuttle flights needed to complete construction of the international space station.
But NASA today is in the early stages of a once-in-a-generation transition that will affect how Americans get into space and where they go. No other federal agency has faced such a large financial decision without a permanent chief.
A report last month by the Government Accountability Office, the auditing arm of Congress, said the program that would replace the shuttle, return humans to the moon and perhaps send them to Mars is expected to cost more than $230 billion.
So far, the Obama administration has nominated nearly 200 officials, including an undersecretary of agriculture for rural development, an assistant labor secretary for veterans employment and training and actor Kal Penn as a White House liaison. But at NASA, Obama has not nominated a single manager who requires Senate confirmation.

Xavier and C.I. Henry have scheduled a press conference at 11:30 this morning to announce where they will attend college next year. All indicators point toward Kansas.
Earlier this week, the Henry brothers canceled their visit to Kentucky scheduled for this weekend, citing Xavier's senior prom at Putnam City High School
in Oklahoma City as a reason. Multipleoutlets,includingthe Daily

The press conference will be held in the Putnam City
High gymnasium. It's an appropriate location considering it's where Xavier led the Pirates to two state championships and became regarded as one of the top recruits in the class of 2009.
Rivals.com ranked Xavier as the No. 8 player in the nation in its newest rankings, released this week. He originally committed to Memphis in November, but got out of his letter of intent when coach John Callipari left for Kentucky.
C. J. walked on at Memphis last year after spending three sea-

Because C.J., a 6-foot-3 shooting guard, is transferring, he might have to sit out a year under NCAA rules. The Henry family filed an appeal with the NCAA to let C.J. play right away.
Xavier, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard, would likely start immediately for the lajawkens and fill their most glaring need of a talented wing player.

Preston Land's home run pushes Kansas past Mizzou
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Wednesday night Kansas spelled redemption L-A-N-D.
Western White Kieran Senior first baseman Preston Land bumps chests with sophomore designated hitter Jimmy Waters after hitting a home run Wednesday night against Missouri. Land was 1 for-4 at the plate and drove in three runs in Kansas' 7-3 win. Land has hit the ball well in recent games, an overplowed zone.
Senior first baseman Preston Land continued to prove why he's been a starter the last four seasons, even if the last two haven't been starter material.
Weston White/KANSAN
Land's sixth inning, three-run home run helped Kansas bounce back from an early deficit to defeat border rival Missouri 7-3 at Kauffman Stadium.
"Especially after making an error earlier in the game, redeeming yourself like that and getting the runs back on the board felt real good," Land said.
Land has been looking for redemption all season after mediocre sophomore and junior seasons. After hitting .314 as a freshman and earning All-Big 12 preseason mentions before his sophomore season, Land struggled the next two years, hitting .206 and .221.
And this season started similarly. In Land's last eight games, he was 2-for-23 with no home runs, one RBI and 13 strikeouts. Since the Texas Tech series last weekend, Land has gone 4-for-16 with three home runs and sixRBIs. Wednesday night's home run wasn't even a sure thing. Land said he doubted whether he got enough of the inside fastball.
"When I was rounding first, I saw the guy at the wall and I was like 'Oh come on, don't tell me he's going to rob this.'" Land said.
It wasn't robbed, and Kansas picked up its 23th victory of the season, only three back of last year's total. Coach Ritch Price has stuck with Land all season, and
"I tell you what guys, it's been a long four years too." Price said, laughing. "I feel really good for him."
he said he was glad his senior was able to get back into a groove, especially against the Tigers at Kauffman Stadium.
In Missouri's two-run fourth
inning, Land failed to make two plays he typically makes. One was a dropped ball on a Tiger bunt attempt as sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson made a strong throw to Land. The other

Kansas gets second chance against Missouri
BY JUSTIN HILLEY
jhilley@kansan.com
That did not happen, however. On March 22's Border Showdown, the Jayhawks hosted a fervently contested dual match that resulted in a 5-2 loss to the Tigers. A few of the players were in tears afterwards.
The Kansas Jayhawks finished their 2009 regular season without fulfilling one of the team's primary goals: defeating the Missouri Tigers.
"We will beat Missouri," coach Amy Hall-Holt said in an interview before the start of the season.
Payback will be on the minds of the Jayhawks today when they take on the Tigers in the first round of the Big 12 Championships in Norman, Oklahoma.
"We're definitely pretty excited. We want to get revenge," Hall-Holt said when the team arrived in Norman.

ANSAS CITY, MO.
- The division began behind home plate as if
Jayhawks and Tigers meet at Kauffman
it were a state line. On the third-base side at the newly polished Kauffman Stadium sat the bulk of Kansas fans while the Missouri faithful mainly resided opposite their foes on the first base side.
And then senior first baseman Preston Land stepped up to the plate. Any jitters from being held up in traffic on the way to the ballpark and playing in a park that is far from amateur were erased with the ping of a left-field home run. The result: a 5-3 lead that would eventually become 7-3 before the ground-skeepers took the field, signaling it was all over.
Sure, there were a few thickets of crimson and blue among the Tiger supporters and a couple of rogue gold T-shirts on the other side, but not enough to suggest a cessation of baseball's 318th Border Showdown.
But then the inning began. Heere crushed a triple to lead off and erupt half of the viewing populate. Kansas turned in two quick outs before sophomore left fielder Casey Lytle was hit by a pitch and sophomore designated hitter Jimmy Waters singled in a run and advanced Lytle to second.
Kansas fans didn't need perfection to bellow out their "Rock Chalk" chant.
"That was awesome man," Price said. "I got goosebumps."
The warm, spring weather and shiny stadium screamed perfection, although the game itself would be far from it. In fact, Kansas committed three errors -- two in the first four innings.
And as if the jayhawks needed reminding of their surroundings, the stadium's Major League residents appeared on the massive, crowned LED screen before sophomore right fielder Brian Heere was up to bat to lead off the bottom of the sixth. In crystal clear high definition, Joakim Soria Mexicuted the last Cleveland batter of the night, activating music, cheers and "ROYALS WIN" blown up on the scoreboard.
"My only disappointment of the game is that we were sloppy defensively," coach Ritch Price said. "That's something we haven't been doing. We've been playing well defensively."
And with two consecutive midweek wins at both the site of the College World Series and the site of The Show, Kansas looks like it might be able to crush its nerves on any stage.
"That infield's perfect, you can't blame any of those errors on that infield," Price said. "That thing is like a golf course. I think it was nerves."
Kansas' jittery start resulted in no runs to lead off the game but it would produce an early 3-1 deficit in the midweek, non-conference til. When searching for answers for his team's uncharacteristic defensive start, Price simply summed it up: nerves.

Sophomore wide receiver Dezmion Briscoe has been reinstated to the Kansas football team, coach Mark Mangino said Wednesday.
Briscoe had been suspended for a violation of team policy prior to spring practices. Mangino also announced Wednesday that suspended junior running back Jocques Crawford's status remains unchanged.
The announcements came following Tuesday's Big 12 coaches' teleconference in which Mangino refused to field questions regarding the subject.
"I have no comment on any issues I'm dealing with in-house." Mangino told reporters.

Supplement likely poisoned 21 horses
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A member of a Venezuelan-owned polo team says a supplement likely killed 21 horses last weekend in Florida
Juan Martin Nero, of Lechuza Polo, said the horses were given a commonly used supplement that contains vitamins and minerals.
Nero says the drug is often given to horses, but was likely tainted at a lab.
Nero says five horses that did not get the supplement were OK.
The horses began collapsing Sunday as they were unloaded from trailers at the International Polo Club Palm Beach.
Florida authorities have started a criminal investigation to see if the deaths were intentional or an accident.

Of course, this list would probably interest any normal college guy, and I consider myself a normal guy, so yeah, I was pretty excited.
So I click on the link. And I'm thinking, I've been going to this school for nearly four years, and you know what, I think this place is pretty fun. We wotta be Top 3, right? Nope. OK, OK, I'll settle for Top 5. Nope. OK, well, we're

definitely Top 10. Nope again.
Here's the full list:
1) University of Miami
2) University of Texas (Austin)
3) San Diego State University
4) University of Florida
5) University of Arizona
6) University of Wisconsin
(Madison)
7) University of Georgia
8) Louisiana State University
9) University of Iowa
10) West Virginia University
You see, I grew up in Johnson County (What? You want to
make something of it?). And if you grew up in Johnson County during the 1990s, you probably remember Kansas always topping these rankings, or at least being in the Top 10.
At least, that's how I remember it.
So maybe it's not a terrible tragedy that Kansas didn't make the list. Kansas is way more than just a party school, of course. But c'mon, couldn't we have at least slid in at No. 9 or No. 10? For some reason, when I hear West Virginia, I'm just not thinking party.

Chicago Bulls basketball player Derrick Rose speaks at a news conference after being named as NBA Rookie of the Year on Wednesday. Rose's selection was hardly a surprise, after the No. 1 overall draft pick led all rookies with 6.3 assists per game and was second in scoring average at 16.8, and established himself as the franchise's first true cornerstone since Michael Jordan.

Rookie credited with reviving Bulls
Derrick Rose is third Bulls player to win Rookie of the Year
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY ANDREW SELIGMAN
Associated Press
NORTHIBROOK, Ill — Derrick Rose, who led his hometown Bulls to the playoffs and restored hope to a franchise in disarray, was the runaway pick as the NBAs rookie of the year.
Rose became the third Bulls player to win the award Wednesday, joining Michael Jordan and Elton Brand. He received 111 first-place votes and 574 points from a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
"When I first came into the season, my biggest thing was to get this award." Rose said. "I was telling you all that I didn't care, but I did. You really do want this award. There was a lot of talent out there that I had to go against."
Rose's selection was hardly a surprise, after the No.1 overall draft pick led all rookies with 6.3 assists per game, was second in scoring average at 16.8 and established himself as the franchise's first true cornerstone since Jordan.
"I think there are very few people in the NBA who could do what he did this year," teammate Joakim Noah said. "You tell me another No. I pick who got to the playoffs in their hometown, especially in a big city with so many distractions and so many things going on. I mean, he's all about one thing and that's winning basketball games, and that's what I respect about him."
The only other players who received first-place votes were Brook Lopez of the New Jersey Nets and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Eric Gordon of the Los Angeles Clippers rounded out the top five.
A point guard from Chicago's South Side, Rose used his strength, blinding quickness and uncanny maturity to help turn around a
team that went 33-49 last season.
Rose's approach, as much as his talent, also impressed veteran guard Lindsey Hunter.
"Not many guys can transfer it from here to there that fast," Hunter said, pointing from his head to the court. "But he's able to do that. I think that's what's so unique about him."
Rose was the Eastern

Rose excelled from the start and never really slowed down, although he was at times benched late in games. That stopped after general manager John Paxson
Rose added 10 points, seven assists and six rebounds in a Game 2 loss.
Boston, Rose matched Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record for a debuting rookie with 36 points and 11 assists in a 105-103 overtime victory.

tery despite 1.7 percent odds and could have picked Michael Beasley, the high-scoring forward from Kansas State. Instead, they went with the guard who grew up a few miles from the United Center in the rough Englewood neighborhood.
"They're different positions, but LeBron James has the same thing — it's hard to knock him off his driving lane," O'Brien said. "And I think he's improved his outside shot. And I think he knows the game."
From the moment he returned to Chicago, Rose has fit with the Bulls. They won the draft lot-
They saw a dynamic floor leader, a selfless player — a winner.
Rose led Simeon Career Academy to the state championship and Memphis to 38 wins and the NCAA title game in his lone season. Now, he's helping the Bulls turn things around after what seemed like a solid plan went awry.
Along the way, they scored arguably their biggest victory in a decade when they won the draft lottery. With Rose running the show, the Bulls believe their cornerstone is in place for the next decade.
"I've got a lot of friends who are coaches," Hunter said. "I'm like, 'Man, you guys don't know how good he is. He doesn't even understand what he is yet.' ... I see him that point guard that is going to push Deron Williams and Chris Paul to the limit."

Team off to Texas for tournament
BY HALLIE MANN
hmann@kansan.com
You would think that heading from the flat, windy golf course of Lawrence to the flat and windy course in Lubbock, Texas, would provide some solace for the women's golf team heading into the Big 12 Tournament at Texas Tech. But competition will ensure that the conference tournament this weekend will be as tough as ever.
The team played on the Texas Tech golf course earlier in the season, but the high winds and rough greens would still be a challenge for the team, said coach Erin O'Neil.
"It will give us a little bit of an advantage since we know what the course is like but this tournament has a completely different feel to it," O'Neil said.
The conference tournament is the last regular season event for the team. Junior Emily Powers said the team was looking forward to the tournament. She said
that the team had been working on the parts of their game that they had struggled with the last few tournaments.
"The Big 12 is a pretty good conference and has a lot of really good teams," Powers said. "We want to see how we stack up against the other teams."
The team has been working its way up the rankings over the course of the season and is currently ranked 76th in the country and 11th in the conference. Sophomore Sydney Wilson said she thought the tough competition at the last tournament was a good warm-up for the teams at this tournament.
THE FAVORITES
"We've made our practices more directed, and it felt good to play a tough course before the Big 12." Wilson said.
Oklahoma State won the Big 12 Tournament in 2008 and is currently ranked first in the conference.
Texas is ranked second in the conference and senior Kelley Louth leads the Longhorns after playing a career-best tournament in Indiana. Texas A&M follows in third and has had two weeks since its last competition where sophomore Sarah Zwartynski led the Aggies with a season-best performance.
ACADEMIC ACES
Regardless of whether they win in the Big 12 tournament, Kansas had six players make the Big 12 All-Academic team for this season.
Junior Meghan Gockel had a 4.0 GPA, which put her on the first-team selection for the Big 12 for the second year in a row.
Along with Gockel, Powers and sophomores Meghna Bal, Grace Thiry, Jennifer Clark and Wilson all made the academic team.

Expensive seats don't sell at Yankee Stadium
BY RONALD BLUM
Associated Press
The most expensive spots in America's costliest ballpark have become an embarrassment packing a financial sting to the proud New York Yankees, as the Legends Suite section in the infield has been filled only once in the six games since the $1.5 billion stadium opened last week.
NEW YORK At the new Yankee Stadium, the best seats in the house have turned out to be the emptiest.
"We're done talking about seats," Yankees president Randy Levine said Wednesday. "We're not talking about seats."
On most days, the seats that cost $200-$2,500 as part of season tickets and go up to $2,625 for individual games haven't been close to full. And as TV cameras pick up the patchy attendance with every pitch, it serves as a little tweak to the nation's richest baseball franchise.
But fans sure notice.
"It's been pretty phenomenal," said Aaron Feldstein, a native Californian who lived in Brooklyn for a couple of years and now resides in Baltimore. He was part of the far-from-sellout crowd at the Yankees' game Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics on a show-
ery, cold afternoon. The Legend Suite section was about 80 percent empty, and the upper decks
"I remember watching and you couldn't find an empty seat at Yankee Stadium. And now right behind home plate there's 15 to 20," said the 29-year-old Feldstein, who scored a free ticket from a friend behind home plate — an area that costs $325 as part of season tickets.
— which have been mostly full — were a quarter empty.
Another snapshot of the problem:
A count by The Associated Press totaled 1,895 seats in the Legends Suite, of which 146 were in the front row from dugout to dugout, costing $2,500 as season tickets and $2,625 individually.
On Tuesday night, only 64 of the 146 seats at the top price level were occupied in the bottom of the second innings. The outermost Legends Suite sections, which each contain 90 seats, were entirely empty until two fans finally emerged to sit in them during the late innings.
On Wednesday, in the third inning, just 37 of the highest-priced, front-row seats were occupied, although it was impossible to know if some fans had taken shelter in stadium restaurants.

Distance runners travel to Iowa
After last week's success in Kansas Relays, Jayhawks look ahead to Drake Relays
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
One week ago, the layhawks held their version of a "distance carnival" at the Kansas Relays. Today, members of the distance group of the Kansas Track and Field team will travel to another one, this time in Des Moines, Iowa, to compete at the Drake Relays.
"I think that it's a great opportunity. The weather has always cooperated well there, and so we're looking forward for them to go out and have a great experience and good times," coach Stanley Redwine said.
The Drake Relays will mainly feature the 5,000- and 10,000-meter run events. The relays kick off with the 10,000-meter run event, which includes senior Brock Ternes, juniors Danny Van Orsdel
TRACK & FIELD
**WHAT:** Drake Relays
**WHEN:** Today, 3.p.m.
**WHEN:** Des Moines, low
and Isaiah Shirlen and sophomore Nick Carpio.
Van Orsdel said training for the 25-lap event was a lot of work, but it was going well for him.
“It’s a lot of longer stuff, so getting some longer workouts in, some longer runs and doing that 5K at the Relays was a tuneup for the 10K,” Van Orseld said.
In the women's 5,000-meter run will feature sophomores Amanda Miller and Kara Windisch. Both runners had success last Thursday
at the Kansas Relays in the distance events. Windisch grabbed a victory in the 3,000-meter run while Miller won the 5,000-meter run event.
The competition in the 5,000-meter will feature schools from across the country, including some Big 12 schools like Baylor and Texas.
Miller said she wanted to crack 17 minutes in the 5,000-meter event. After last week at the Kansas Relays, she knows what it takes.
"It was good to get out and know the pace," Miller said. "Just get a feel for it, so it was a good little test."
"The competition is a lot better, which is good, so hopefully I can just stick on to a pack and finish in a good time because there's only a few girls that run like in a 17 (minute) range." Miller said.
In the men's side, junior Bret
Imgrund and freshman Donny Wasinger will represent the javahaws in the 5,000-meter event.
The two have been working together to get Kansas some top place finishes, including last week's 5,000-meter run at the Relays where both finished in the top three; Wasinger took second and Imground took third.
"Donny and I are just doing our own thing. We don't concern ourselves with who else is in the pack because you can't rely on other people," Imgrund said. "You don't know what kind of day they are going to have so you just got to do your own thing and work together."
The Drake Relays distance events will begin with the women's 10,000-meter run at 3 p.m.

NHL
Rangers put Capitals on brink of elimination
Henrik Lundqvist held Washington to one goal on 38 shots to give New York 3-1 series lead
BY IRA PODELL Associated Press
NEW YORK — Henrik Lundqvist made 38 saves, half of them in the second period, and the seventh-seeded New York Rangers put the Washington Capitals on the brink of elimination with a 2-1 victory Wednesday night.
Lundqvist, who posted a 1-0 shutout win in Game 2, was on top of his game all night as the Capitals controlled play from the second period to the end — outshooting New York 39-21. But it's the Rangers who hold a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
from coach John Tortorella to New York's top players, team captain Drury made it 2-0 at 2:23 when he followed a rebound of his shot and scored.
Drury, nursing what is believed to be a hand or wrist injury that raised fears he could be out of the line-up for the second time this series, flipped a soft shot on goal from the left-wing boards that Varlamov bobbled out of his glove. Lauri Korpikoski nudged it to Drury for his 47th NHL playoff goal.
Paul Mara staked the Rangers to lead with 6:05 left in the first period, scoring just the second goal against 20-year-old rookie Simeon Varlamov, who has stopped 75 of 78 shots since taking over for Jose Theodore after New York's 4-3 win in Game 1.
Lundqvist's most dramatic save came against onrushing forward Alexander Semin, who launched a rising drive that was snared at full extension by Lundqvist before the puck found the top right corner.
Lundqvid did the rest, especially during a power play when
Washington whistled four shots in on him and had several others blocked in front. New York could not get the puck out of its zone and gave up two more drives after Michal Rosival got out of the box.
The Rangers finally iced the puck, forcing Tortorella to use his timeout to give his exhausted penalty-killers a breather.
Ovechkin turned the mood inside Madison Square Garden from celebratory to panic when he rifled a slap shot off the crossbar and into the net.
The Rangers went 12:36 between shots in the second period and carried their 2-0 edge into the third.
It brought the towel-waving crowd to its feet with thunderous chants of "Hen-rik! Hen-rik!"
at 2:13 of the third period. It was the first goal of the series on the 32nd shot by Ovechkin, who led the NHL with 56 regular-season goals.
"The Missouri match was a pretty close score the first time around, but I think we've built up a little more enthusiasm with our doubles. We're pretty excited about getting a second chance against them," Hall-Holt said.
TENNIS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Ovechkin, who screamed at his teammates on the bench before the third period, cut the Capitals' deficit to 2-1 early in the final frame and nearly tied it twice. The first try was denied by the post during a power play, and then he was denied when Lundqvist made a reaching glove save with 5:13 left.
the nation.
Hall-Holt said defeating Missouri in the championships will make up for the regular season
Varlamov got Washington back into the series with a 4-0 win Monday night, after the Rangers posted a pair of road wins, but now the Capitals — the No.2 seed in the Eastern Conference — could be out of the playoffs Friday night when they host Game 5.
loss. "It's definitely something that we want to accomplish. I think it'll be bitter sweetting them out in the first round," she said.
Kansas and Missouri are both 4-7 in conference
"It's tournament time; anything can happen. Big teams go down ..."
play and are seeded No. 9 and 8, respectively, in the tournament. Because Missouri defeated Kansas, it received a higher seeding in the brackets. Oklahoma State defeated Missouri and lost to Kansas in the regular season, and because it was able to defeat No. 7 seeded Texas Tech, a squad that beat both Kansas and Missouri. Oklahoma State was given a higher seeding at No 6.
Lundqvist kept the Rangers in it during the second period, when the Capitals held a 19-5 shots advantage but fell further behind.
"If we had beaten Texas Tech, we would have had a pretty good chance of being the sixth seed. Everybody from the sixth to the ninth seed, it could have gone either way" Hall-Holt said.
The winner of today's match will advance to the second round tomorrow and play the No. 1 seeded Big 12 defending champion Baylor, which is 55-1 in conference play since 2005.
Alex Ovechkin finally scored his first goal of the series, but it was enough even with Washington having two late power plays created by Sean Avery's undisciplined play.
AMY HALL-HOLT Tennis coach
Chris Drury added his first goal of the series for the Rangers.
Taking the challenge to step up
However, the layhawks' attention is on today's opponent.
ly want to keep focus on Missouri this weekend and keep the girls' focused on Missouri. It's tournament time; anything can happen. Big teams go down and we're looking to have a lot of good things happen this weekend."
"I don't want to think ahead too much," Hall Halt said. "I definite-
Hall-Holt knows the level of intensity at which her players can perform. She expects them to have and maintain that level today.
"You got to go in with the desire that we're going to win at all cost. We're going to have our A-mind out there during the whole match, and we're going to play our game and not play others'.

Arizona shuts out Rockies
BY ANDREW BAGNATO
Associated Press
PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks gave Dan Haren one run in his first three starts.
They doubled that production Wednesday, and that was all the hard-luck pitcher needed in a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
Haren (1-3) pitched seven sharp innings for his first win this season, and Ryan Roberts' pinch-hit single broke a scoreless tie in the seventh.
"You don't want to go through the whole month of April and
Haren and Colorado's Jorge De La Rosa matched shutout innings until the seventh, when Chris Young singled off De La Rosa, went to second on Chris Snyder's single and scored on Roberts' single.
not win a game," said Haren, whose ERA dropped to 1.38. "I was digging myself quite a hole, being 0-3. But I've been proud of the way I've been keeping the team in the game, and that's really my job is to go out there and give the team a chance every time."
It was the second major league RBI for the 28-year-old Roberts, playing in his 26th career game.
"It's fortunate that you get called on when you get called on, and the key is just to be ready," said Roberts, who had five atbats in the first 14 games.
His first came on Aug. 3,2006 when he played for Toronto and homered off Cory Lidle of the New York Yankees.
Roberts' hit made a winner of Haren, who allowed six hits and two walks, striking out nine.
Arizona went up 2-0 when reliever Jason Grilli issued a bases-loaded walk to Conor Jackson on a 3-2 pitch with two outs.
The start looked a lot like Haren's first three, except for the result.

Hawks ready for final run
BY BEN WARD
bward@kansan.com
Kansas will try to bounce back from Tuesday's split against Tulsa tonight when it plays host to Drake for a single game at 7 at Arrocha Ballpark.
Junior infielder Elena Leon leads Drake on offense, toting a .339 batting average to go with 11 home runs. The Bulldogs are also second in the MVC with 50 steals, which should keep senior catcher Elle Potterfot busy behind the plate.
Though the contest is a non-conference affair, it still provides the Jayhawks with an opportunity to bolster their postseason resume.
"The way you prepare for the postseason is to end your season well," coach Tracy Burge said. "Every game is important in setting the tone going into the Big 12 tournament, and we have a busy couple of weeks to hopefully pick up some momentum."
Drake's pitching staff is led by sophomore Jenna DeLong. DeLong enters today's contest with a 1.98 ERA and is second in the MVC with 182 strikeouts.
At third place in the Missouri Valley Conference, the Bulldogs (26-18, 11-6) will pose a challenge for Kansas (17-26, 4-8). Drake heads into Lawrence boasting a potent attack which also takes advantage of its speed on the base paths.
"It's not so much what the opponents do but what we do," Bunge said. "They're a tough team to score
runs against, so we're going to have to make adjustments quicker. We're going to have to do what we do and play smarter in all facets of the game."

Kansas' pitching staff is headed up by senior Valerie George and junior Sarah Vertelka. George leads the team with a 2.60 ERA
and 140 strikeouts. Vertelka isn't far behind her with a 3.20 ERA. Freshman Sarah Blair has also seen some action of late, winning her last two outines.
Despite the Bulldogs conference record, coach Burge said she remained confident in her bunch to get the job done.
"This year we've got five seniors," Bunge said, "so this team really wants to send them out on a good note."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Associated Press
Spread QBs'draft prospects limited
BY EDDIE PELLS
They spend their college careers rewriting record books, competing for Heismans, leading their teams into the middle of national-title conversations.
It's all great until draft day rolls around. Many don't get picked, or if they do, it's much farther down the list than they'd hoped. Some get turned into receivers. The lucky few whose stock remains high often get their two- or three-year try before they, too, find themselves labeled as disappointments or busts.
These are the quarterbacks
of the shotgun, the spread, the dreaded "system" offenses that are taking over college football.
They are the Andre Wares of 10 years ago, the Alex Smiths of more recent vintage, the Graham Harrells and Chase Daniels of today.
Harrell (Texas Tech) and Daniel (Missouri) recently concluded college careers in which they threw for thousands of yards, set dozens of records, became household names. They have been rewarded by largely being left off the list of this weekend's top 100 - or 200 - draft prospects.
For them, getting drafted is not a matter of 'when', but 'if'. And if they do get their chance with
an NFL team, it won't come with many expectations.
"I'd go as far as saying that playing in that kind of offense is a gift and a curse," said Shaun King, the former spread quarterback at Tulane who actually had some success transitioning to the pros with Tampa Bay.
"The gift is, you're forced to make quick decisions, recognize a defense and understand where the football should go," he said.
"The detriment is, in the shotgun, you're automatically on balance. There's no drop. It's easier to have your feet where they're supposed to be. Then, you have to do all that while coming from under center. It takes some significant athleticism to make the change."

'Rock Chalk' chant rallies Kansas
Motivated by fans, atmosphere, Jayhawks defeat Tigers at Kauffman Stadium
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
The Kansas Jayhawks leaned against the railing of their dugout at Kauffman Stadium and waved their hats at their teammates on the field, trying to will them back to the dugout with their 7-3 lead intact late in the ninth inning.
"Rock chalk, Jayhawk, KU."
It's a superstition that the team partakes in nearly every inning of every game, but this time there was a new aspect. Behind the Jayhawks dugout, roughly 2,000 Kansas fans roared a familiar chant.
"It was a great atmosphere to come out here and pitch with all the fans getting up," Bochy said. "And it's a huge win to get a win over a rival like that."
Senior first baseman Preston Land hit what proved to be the game-tying home run in the sixth inning. It was his third of the season, and it made the night a whole lot sweeter for the Kansas fans — and more bitter for those clad in black and gold.
was just, huge, you know, to hear that and the game's not even over. To have that confidence going on with the fans is just a great feeling as a program."
The Jayhawks, who haven't had a crowd larger than 1,200 at Hoglund Ballpark in Lawrence, fed off the energy and closed out the
win with style. Sophomore right-hander Brett Bochy struck out Missouri leadoff man Austin Holt for the victory.
The Jayhawks have gone 19-2 in the park they affectionately call "the Hog," but they still didn't see support like this until Wednesday night. Even the seniors were aided by the chant, one that they haven't heard this season. Senior catcher Buck Afenir struggled to find the words to describe the emotions.
"It's an adrenaline rush, for sure. Any time you hit a ball out of a major league park it feels really good," Land said. "But when there's a bunch of KU fans here and a bunch of MU fans here not wanting to see the other team win, and I hit the ball that puts us ahead, you know, it was huge. It

was a really good feeling."
The Jayhawks are 2-0 at Kauffman against the Tigers, and coach Ritch Price is loving the success.
"That gave me goosebumps, when I heard the chant," Narodowski said. "It was so loud. If we could get that at the Hog, that would be awesome."
"I don't know if we'll call this Hoglund Park East, yet," Price said. "But it's a great feeling to come in here and play."

Cardinals pitcher relies on sinker
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Pounding his new favorite pitch, the sinker, Joel Pineiro dominated the New York Mets without a single strikeout.
Pineiro carried a six-hitter into the ninth inning and Albert Pujols had two hits and two RBIs in the St. Louis Cardinals' 5-2 victory Wednesday night.
"I'm going to trust it all year," Pineiro said. "It's going to be the pitch I go to every time."
The Cardinals backed him with a robust offense that beat up on John Maine, scoring five or more runs for the seventh straight game.
Joe Thurston and Skip Schumaker had an RBI apiece for the Cardinals, who will go for a three-game sweep Thursday with Kyle Lohse opposing Livan Hernandez. St. Louis has won nine of 12 since a 1-2 start, including six in a row at home.
Maine (0-2) matched his career worst with five walks while attempting to fine-tune his delivery. He left trailing 5-1 with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth. The right-hander has a 7.47 ERA and nine walks in 15 2-3 innings.
"A lot of times I'm making the pitches I want to make, I'm just a hair off"
"I know I'm a better pitcher than this," Maine said. "I'm working hard between starts and I'm just not getting the results right now.
"Our starting pitching has to be something we can depend on and count on," manager Jerry Manuel said. "Right now, other than Johan (Santana), for the most part it's been a struggle."
Daniel Murphy had an RBI single in the third and Beltran hit an RBI double off Dennyrs Reyes in the ninth for his third hit. Ryan Franklin earned his fourth save in four chances by getting pinch-hitter Gary Sheffield to pop up for the final out.
The Mets have lost three in a row while putting out scored 15-8.
Manuel also is looking to energize the lineup and said held move Carlos Beltran up two spots to third in the order Thursday, switching places with David Wright.
Pineiro (3-0) retired 13 straight hitters on 35 pitches beginning with the final out of the fourth, all but three of them on ground balls. He was pulled after Wright's lead-off double in the ninth.
The St. Louis defense contributed a couple of nice plays, with Thurston making a diving stab at third with two on and two outs in the fourth to rob Luis Castillo, and shortstop Khalil Greene going deep into the hole to throw out Ramon Castro in the seventh. Left fielder Chris Duncan reached into the stands to snare Murphy's foul fly in the first.
Pineiro pitched to contact, walking two for the first 3-0 April start of his career while improving to 8-2 with a 3.61 ERA in 16 career games at Busch Stadium.
"I'm going to keep riding that as long as I can," he said. "That's going to be my game plan no matter if I'm at Wrigley Field, Coors Field, whatever field I am."
Pujols, who entered the game tied for the NL RBI lead with 16 along with teammate Ryan Ludwick, had a sacrifice fly in the first and a run-scoring single in the

was on a double-play attempt as Land was falling off the bag.
Junior shortstop David Narodowski, who went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, said the team wasn't pressing after the inning. The layhawks were held to one run through five innings.
"It was early still, it wasn't slipping away — definitely not," Narodowski said. "I mean we still had five, six innings left. A lot

Narodowski's two-RBI single in the eighth inning was the clincher that provided much-needed insurance runs. Kansas scored six runs in the final

"I'd like to keep it up here the next four weeks down the stretch."
The energy level from the team was evident as Kansas repeatedly high-fived, yelled and cheered. The culmination of it all was Land's long drive, when the entire dugout exploded in uproaring cheers.
PRESTON LAND Senior first baseman
"It's just exhilarating for every person in the dugout," Price said.
Narodowski hasn't been around to watch Land's previous three seasons. But he's heard the struggles from other teammates and said it was good to see the old Land tonight.
"It's awesome. It's good to see him back," Narodowski said. "He had a rough start to the season, and it's good to see him start hitting the ball, getting guys in, getting some RBIs, hitting the ball out of the park."
The Kansas bullpen made sure that Land's home run would not be in vain. The Jayhawk relievers pitched three-plus innings
"He's been outstanding. He's only had two bad outings all year," Price said.

"He's the only left-hander we have in the bullpen, and he's really special."
But the game was all about Land. From his teammates encouragements to his coach's faith, Land's story of the season, and the game, was all about redemption.
"I'd like to keep it up here the next four weeks down the stretch," Land said. "See if I can continue to help the team win."

Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noises and the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handled these things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college. I heard about Don's Auto from some friends and through the Kansan, so I decided to give them a call. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super understanding.
What impressed me most, was that they offered to call my dad and consult with him every step of the way. Now, I always take my car to Don!

Brian Bannister pitched six scoreless innings following call up
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Brian Bannister was excited to be back in the major leagues — and even more delighted his first start came in Cleveland.
Bannister (1-0) and two relievers outpitched reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Indians 2-0 Wednesday night.
"I just seem to have a feel for this team and do like to pitch in this ballpark," said Bannister after improving to 3-0 with a 1.44 ERA in four career starts at Progressive Field.
Lee (1-3) allowed two runs and nine hits over eight innings, but matched his loss total of last season. A year ago, the left-hander went 5-0 against the Royals on the way to a 22-3 record and 2.54 ERA.
He didn't get his third loss until Sept. 23 at Boston.
Bannister (1-0), recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday, improved to 4-1 with a 1.62 ERA overall against the Indians. He allowed four hits and walked only one against a team that came in leading the majors with 76 bases on balls in 14 games.
"I wanted to get ahead in the count because they're drawing a lot of walks." Bannister said. "I was able to get a couple of groundballs when I needed them and the guys played good defense behind me."
Jamey Wright worked two scoreless innings and Joakim Soria pitched the ninth for his fifth save. Soria hadn't worked in a game since saving a 4-2 win over the Indians on April 13.
The right-hander walked Johnny
Peralta with one out and yielded a ground single to center by Shin- Soo Choo. Kelly Shoppach then lined the first pitch to the warning track in left, where David Dejesus made a stumbling catch, hanging on to the ball despite his spikes catching in the wet ground.
"I saw David go back and thought everything was OK," Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "Let's say I felt a lot better when I saw the ball in his glove. He made a good plav."
Both runners moved up on a passed ball by Miguel Olivo before Soria threw a called third strike on the inside corner past Trevor Crowe to end it.
"It's tough to sit on a curveball when a guy is throwing 92-93 (mph)." Crowe said. "He's very tough."

APARTMENT GUIDE 4
EDITOR'S NOTE
Personality makes your space a new, unique kind of home
Although college living may not be the most glamorous, it's what each of us puts into the experience that really makes the difference.
The two places I've lived in college so far, both residence halls, really have become my homes because of the way I outfitted them and tried to adapt to living on my own.
When I went to Eugene, Ore., for my freshman year of college almost a year and a half ago, I was really nervous about getting homesick.
Luckily, I brought just about every poster I owned with me so I would always have a piece of home even though I lived far away. I have these same posters in my room here at the University. I've got posters of The Doors,
BY NORA SIMON
nsimon@kansan.com
The Beatles, Harry Potter, Bob Dylan and ancient Egypt. And, of course, I have pictures of my friends. All these things contribute to the unique experience that is my room.
Admittedly, getting used to things like cleaning, managing money, healthy eating and roommates may not always be an easy part of living on your own in college.
After all, college and all its parts are not stress-free. But it's just a part of the college
experience, which makes it both challenging and rewarding.
In less than a month, I'll be moving off campus into a house. I know the move will be hectic and very tiring, but it will be at great feeling in the end. When I move in to my new house, I'll have a completely new set of challenges to take on. But I'll have another chance to make my living space truly my own.
When we were putting together this final apartment guide for Spring 2009,we wanted to give students practical tips to help the transition from apartment to apartment and home to home. Creating a living space that reflects who you are is one of the truest acts of self expression.

College students may often be short on both cash and time, making a wholesome meal is easy with the right planning.
Nutritious, delicious and manageable
BY EMILY MCCOY emccoy@kansan.com
Though taking the pizza delivery numbers off speed dial could be the first step to healthy eating, it doesn't have to be the end of saving time and money on meals. There are ways to eat deliciously and nutritiously while living within the means of the typical student lifestyle.
But often the price and time needed to cook deters some students.
"Healthy eating is difficult," Claire Williams, St. Louis junior, said. "I know I am uneducated, but I just don't like the idea of having to go to the store and have to make the food yourself. Plus, healthy foods always seem to be more expensive."
Williams is not alone, said Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition counseling at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Chapman said many people wanted to eat healthy but weren't equipped with the knowledge or resources to do so.
"People get caught up in school, social life and work," Chapman said. "Healthy eating just falls by the wayside. The key to healthy eating is flexibility and organization."
Even though students may be short on time, making a fast, healthy meal is easy. Chapman said it was best to plan meals in advance, complete with recipes and ingredients. The initial planning might seem time-consuming, but when everything necessary to make a meal is in the refrigerator, the actual assembly can be done quickly, she said.
Amber Long, fitness coordinator at Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, also suggested planning meals ahead of time. But she said that occasionally it was okay to give into unanticipated cravings.
"You have to listen to what the body needs or wants," Long said. "Cravings often represent deficiencies found in the body."
Long said that all things were fine in moderation, but that it was important to limit

splurges on sugars or fat.
"I eat my fair share of bad food, just not regularly," Brian Shellenberger, Topeka sophomore said. "I consider a good diet to be part of living a healthy lifestyle."
Though moderation is part of that lifestyle, healthy eating doesn't have to be all about sacrifice.
"I think healthy food tastes better or at least just as good if you make it right," Rob Jackson, Hiawatha sophomore, said.
Nate Mass, Leawood senior said he made changes to his
exercise routine to try to lose weight, but he realized there was more to being healthy than simply working out.
Mass said. "Now I just put that money towards produce."
"I started powerlifting in the gym, but I felt strong, not healthy," Mass said. "Then I did a lot of martial arts, but I just felt fast, not healthy. Now I just eat what's real."
Mass has been a vegetarian for three years and said that he thought fresh produce tended to cost more than processed foods, but that he considered the extra cost to be worth the benefits he gained.
"I stopped drinking and I don't smoke. Now I just put that money towards produce."
"I stopped drinking and I don't smoke."
But Chapman said all students could make cheap and easy adjustments to improve their eating habits.
NATE MASS Leawood senior
"It makes sense to go to a discount grocery store," Chapman said. "Also, calculate
the price per ounce of food items or use the unit pricing index that many stores have available."
Chapman also said students could often save when opting for the healthier food choice.She suggested buying lean cuts
of beef instead of marbled and an entire chicken instead of pre-butchered sections as smart ways to both save money and control fat intake.
"You can't make dramatic changes to eating behaviors overnight."
ANN CHAPMAN Coordinator of Nutrition Counseling
Other money-saving shopping habits Chapman recommended were buying store brands and items in bulk. She said to buy nutritious staples to keep around the kitchen at all times.
"Dried beans are an excellent example of a diet staple that students should keep on hand," Chapman said. "They are a great source of protein and can be easily stirred into a salad, pasta or bowl of soup."
Chapman said healthy eating resulted in a healthy body, better sleep and increased ability to concentrate, among other benefits.
"Since moving into my own apartment with my own kitchen, I haven't gotten sick once because I have been able to control what I eat," Jackson said.
Chapman encouraged making smart decisions about food but said a nutritious diet did not have to be all or nothing.
"Set small, achievable goals for change," Chapman said. She suggested starting off with
planning and making a dinner at home two nights a week, then expanding from there.
"You can't make dramatic changes to eating behaviors overnight," said Chapman. "And if you do, you are just setting yourself up for failure."

Don't let tension build up between you and your roommate. It's best to talk about your issues right away in person rather than to allow problems to intensify or leaving notes and messages.
BY ALICIA BANISTER
abanister@kansan.com
Whether living with a best friend or going potluck with a complete stranger, finding a compatible roommate can be tough.
Living with someone who leaves notes on the kitchen counter or sends messages on Facebook, rather than talking about issues in person, can create problems between roommates.
Laura Gibson, Talmage sophomore, said her roommate, a friend of six years, sent her Facebook messages about the cleanliness of their house and left a note complaining about brownie mix instead of talking to her about it. Now, Gibson feels differently about living with a friend.
"If you're worried about not getting along with a friend, then definitely don't risk it," Gibson said. "It's a lot easier to sever ties with someone you're rooming with pot luck than it is to lose a friend you've had for years."
Gibson assumed living with an old friend would be a wise choice, but it backfired.
But if people can't agree about living arrangements with a friend, how can they choose the best person to live with?
One option students have is the roommate finder through Web sites, such as www.roommates.com, which offers matching services.
The Exchange, 3100 Ousdahl Road, tries to make the process of finding a roommate less painful by providing a roommate matching service. Students answer survey questions about their personal interests, cleanliness and preferred noise levels.
Kelli Scheuerman, property manager at The Exchange, placed students together by using this matching system. She emphasized the importance of roommates' being honest in their answers.
"Often people have a different perception of how clean and quiet they are than the perception of others around them." Scheuerman said.
"If you are dirty, say it. If there is someone in view of your responses on the form, such as a parent, make sure you come in and update your form with responses that most accurately reflect your lifestyle."
Leaving issues unresolved could negatively affect living with other people and could possibly snowball into bigger issues. Spela Gasperlin, St. Louis senior, experienced this when living with two other girls.
"The first month of living together was a lot of fun," Gasperlin said. "We all went out together, and things were going really well."
"Then the tension built up and both sides kind of started doing things to piss the other side off without outwardly doing things," Gasperlin said.
Gasperlin's relationship with one roommate became tense, though, because she was closer to her other roommate.
Finding a compatible roommate involves a process, no matter who a person decides to live with.
Scheuerman suggested keeping an open mind when searching.
"Don't set out to look for someone perfectly similar," Scheuerman said. "This is an opportunity to develop as a person and grow from embracing diversity."
Leaving notes for a roommate about problems may not be the best way to go about resolving conflicts. If issues surface with a roommate, try dealing with the problem right away instead of letting it build into something bigger than it should be. Gibson suggested becoming comfortable enough with roommates to discuss issues.
"When problems arise you should just talk about them face-to-face," Gibson said. "Keep things in perspective. Don't make mountains out of molehills, or brownie mix, and just generally be accepting."

Avoiding the moving mess in Lawrence
Students need to communicate with roommates, condense belongings and plan ahead to avoid typical moving woes
BY KIRSTEN HUDSON khudson@kansan.com
When switching residences, students have to work with roommates to pack, store, transport and rearrange their belongings with every move. Coordinating a move, especially when it's done two or three times within a few years, can be a pain. Here are some suggestions to make the moving process as painless as possible.
BEFORE THE MOVE
Chantel Augustin, Olathe sophomore, said communication among roommates was important. She said students should talk with their roommates to decide what each person planned to bring to the residence.
"I moved in with roommates who were already living in a place," she said. "So I ended up buying
extra dishes and other stuff that we didn't need."
Stephanie Rhoads, Wichita junior, said that because her apartment was only partially furnished, she and her roommates
planned in advance what each person needed to bring.
Before moving, students should make sure to set up their utilities, said Matt Walker, community manager at The Reserve, 2511 W.31st St.
When getting ready to move students also have the stress of packing. Students need to limit the clutter and bring only what they need, said Becky Hlavac Naperville, Ill., freshman.
"Since I've had to move so often,I've gotten down to just the things I need. It makes it easier."
Emily Lundberg, Manhattan junior, also recommended that students eliminate clutter to make the move less painful.
EMILY LUNDBERG Manhattan junior
"Since I've had to move so often, I've gotten down to just the things I need," Lundberg said. "It makes it easier."
Lundberg said students could find ways to limit clutter and the costs of moving by packing with reusable containers.
Augustin suggested students use plastic bins to pack.
"If you pack in the bins, then you're not stuck at the end with extra boxes and stuff that you don't need," Augustin said.

MOVING (CONTINUED FROM 9)
DURING THE MOVE
The actual act of moving and finding adequate transportation to move everything can be a stressful part of the process.
Rhoads said finding a way to transport her belongings was the most difficult aspect of moving.
"I don't have a truck, and I don't know anyone who does." Rhoads said.
If students plan to rent a truck or trailer, Curt Cochran, manager of 3 Men with A Truck & Trailer, 25 SW Gage Blvd., Topeka, suggested that they make reservations early.
"By the end of July and the first part of August, it's a nightmare trying to find a truck," Cochran said.
CURT COCHRAN
Manager of 3 Men with
A Truck & Trailer
"If you can find a lot of friends to help, that makes all the difference in the world."
Samantha Smith, manager at U-Haul, 845 Iowa St., emphasized the advantage of reserving early.
"We recommend that as soon as you settle your plans, you reserve what you
need," Smith said. "You can reserve up to a year early."
It is also important to take precautions to make sure items stay safe during travel. Cochran suggested that students wrap items in bubble wrap and place blankets
or furniture pads on the floor around their belongings.
In addition to careful packing and moving, students often run into problems with storage.
Lundberg said the gap of
time between when students moved out of one place and
when they could move into their new place could also be a problem. Lundberg said she rented a storage unit for her belongings during that time.
"They had a lot of special deals going on when we got one," Lundberg said. "They're pretty cheap to

rent."
If students don't reserve a unit early, they will often find themselves on waiting lists.
Ozorkiewicz said students who did use storage should take precautions.
if they don't plan ahead, they won't get a unit," said Ann Ozorkiewicz, manager at Space Saver Storage, 3707 W 6th St. "I've had students calling since last summer."
"Don't pack food, don't pack candles, don't put electronics
in a unit unless it's climate-controlled," she said. "Kansas summers get hot, so they need to be careful."
To avoid water damage, Laisster said, students should put crates on the floor, and then stack their belongings on top of them.
"We've never had water problems, but there can be at other units depending on the amount of rain." Laister said.
Ozorkiewicz advised students against
packing their belongings in cardboard boxes because they can soak up moisture that accumulates on the floors of storage units.
"Unless they're putting their stuff on pallets they shouldn't pack in cardboard boxes because cement sweats," Ozorkiewicz said.
"If you're at a large complex like The Reserve, it's going to be crazy and hectic," he said.
MOVING IN
On move-in day, Walker suggested students move during the morning or evening hours to avoid the heat and the traffic.
Rhoads said that when she moved in, one of the hardest parts was dealing with the heat.
"It was summer and it was sweltering," she said.
"The worst thing is to not have enough help," he said. "If you can find a lot of friends to help, that makes all the difference in the world."
Cochran suggested students find lots of people to help them move in to make the move go faster.
Rhoads said she and her roommates helped each other.
"It's nice having them there," she said. "Then if you need help moving big things like your couch, they'll help, and it'll go a lot faster," she said.

TOP TEN PACKING TIPS
1. Limit each box to a maximum weight of 50 pounds.
2. Empty furniture drawers of breakables, non-transportable items and anything that could puncture or damage other items from furniture drawers.
3. Pack similar items together. For example, do not pack glasses in the same box with cast-iron frying pans.
4. Keep all parts or pairs of things together. For example, curtain rod hangers, mirror bolts and other small hardware items should be placed in plastic bags and taped or tied securely to the article to which they belong.
5. Wind electrical cords, fastening them so they do not dangle.
6. Place a two - or three-inch layer of paper in the bottom of boxes for cushioning.
7. Pack items in layers, with the heaviest things on the bottom, medium weight next, and lightest on top.
8. Cushion well with towels and lightweight blankets. The more fragile the item, the more cushioned needed.
9. Avoid overloading cartons, but strive for a firm pack to prevent items from shifting. The top should close easily without force, but should not bend inward.
10. Use PVC tapes. Masking tape and narrow cellophane tape are not recommended.

CLEANING (CONTINUED FROM 12)
BY DANA MEREDITH dmeredith@kansan.com
Cleaning. For college students living away from home for the first time, adding this messy and time-consuming chore to a schedule already full of schoolwork, jobs, extracurricular activities and a social life can be challenging.
In a recent Kansan survey of 100 students.60
percent of University students
percent of University students reported their mothers as being responsible for most cleaning when the students lived at home. Ten percent reported that some kind of relative or cleaning service fulfilled this role.
For Matt Rissien, Overland Park senior, moving from an environment where his mother and sisters kept things clean to
one where he had to pick up after himself and share space with non-relatives was difficult.
"Freshman year, coming in, I lived in Naismith," Rissien said. "I shared a room with somebody for the first time ever. That was hard because suddenly my cleaning habits affected someone else. I had to learn in my

everyday routine to pick my clothes up,keep a clean room. I learned to develop cleaning habits."
Becca Sabatés, Prairie Village freshman, also had to take on additional cleaning responsibilities upon arriving at college.
"At home my mom did the laundry, and she would vacuum the whole house," Sabatés said. "Now I have to wash the dishes I use. My roommate and I take turns taking out the
trash; we vacuum every couple of weeks."
Some students come to college with a good cleaning routine already in place but still find it difficult to keep up with maintaining their living space. In the Kansan survey, 55 percent of respondents cited a busy schedule as the main factor preventing them from cleaning on a regular basis.
"I've been responsible for everything since I was 8," Felicia Alvarado, Salina junior, said. "Now, cleaning almost always happens on the weekends, because that's when I have time. Going to school full time and working until 4 a.m. makes it difficult to keep things clean."

habits to prevent messy living spaces from getting out of control.
The home maintenance Web site www. CleaningExpert.co.uk recommends wiping down the kitchen area after every meal, having a designated area for every item to avoid clutter and spot-cleaning bathroom sinks and toilets.
Continually organizing high-traffic areas of the home is another way to prevent the collection of dirt and clutter.
Wanda Jenicke, custodial specialist for Templin Hall, suggested that time-strapped students divide jobs among roommates in
order to effectively and fairly maintain a clean living space.
"You should trade the jobs around so you're not always doing the same thing," Jenicke said.
Chore delegation played a key role in Alvarado's previous living situation.
"In my last house we had a chore sheet," Alvarado said. "We would go through rotations. Good communication among roommates is the key to keeping things clean."
Aside from doing spot-cleaning, students should designate one day per week for a more thorough cleaning of the bathroom and
kitchen and intensive general cleaning, such as vacuuming, mopping and dusting every room.
Regular cleaning routines help prevent the creation of environments that foster disease and allergen carriers, such as rodents, cockroaches, flies, dust mites and fleas.
In addition to thorough cleaning, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend proper food storage and disposal to keep pests out of the home, which is advice Sabatés follows.
"I always wipe down whatever area has been touched by food or will be touched by
food," Sabatés said. "I always make sure our microwave is clean."
Despite the time and energy involved in keeping a home clean and healthy, most students recognize the importance of keeping living spaces neat.
"A clean environment creates a better life environment," Rissien said. "As hard of an effort it is, you should try to keep your room clean."

But better help for students struggling with budgeting may come within the next Student Senate term.

KITCHEN (CONTINUED FROM 19)
BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansan.com
Not all students possess sufficient cooking experience to live on their own. For those who cringe at the thought of attempting to prepare a meal, knowing the basics of what to keep in the kitchen can help them figure out where to start.
"Learn this word: colander; it means pasta," Alex Jennings, Overland Park freshman,
said. "Also, have measuring cups and, strangely enough, scissors. If you have these materials, you can't go wrong. Everything else you can just eyeball."
Jennings said his most used ingredients were basics such as cheese, milk, eggs, flour, sugar and onions.
"If I'm feeling particularly ostentacious, I might buy bell peppers," Jennings said.
Amanda Payton, Overland Park
graduate student, suggested always keeping a spatula, a large serving spoon, a saucepan, a skillet and salt and pepper in the kitchen.
"Have measuring cups and, strangely enough, scissors. If you have these materials, you can't go wrong."
"I also have my own herb garden, so I always have fresh herbs to add to things," Payton said.
ALEX JENNINGS Overland Park junior
Although an herb garden may not be convenient for most students, keeping a few essential ingredients around can make any meal more appetizing.
"I try to always have some marinara sauce handy because you can add it to so many things to make your dishes less bland," Payton said. "Also, I keep pasta around because it's
a cheap way to make a great meal."

mixer and a blender were helpful for anything ranging from meals to snacks or desserts.
She said it was also important to have quick snacks in stock. Pack said the women
in her hall usually requested cookies or on-the-go snacks, such as granola bars. Jennings suggests "Milk 'n Cereal" bars.
"As far as snacks go, I always have raisins and peanut butter ready, and some saltines," Payton said.
Because most students don't have time to cook every night, it's a good idea to have

Once students have mastered the basics, they can move on
to more advanced recipes. For this, a few cookbooks could come in handy.

GREEN (CONTINUED FROM 22)
BY CLAYTON ASHLEY
cashley@kansan.com
Living green isn't just a great way to conserve resources and lessen pollution. It's one of the easiest ways to save money.
"The word 'conservation' is sometimes misunderstood to mean 'doing without,' and can conjure images of sitting in the dark and cold to cut down on energy use," said Jeff Severin, director of the KU Center for Sustainability, said. "There are many things a student on a budget can do to live more sustainably that will actually save them money."
Many University students have already started doing small things to help the environment and conserve resources.
"We use dish towels instead of paper towels." Miranda Lewis-Neff, Shawnee sophomore, said.
"I turn off anything I'm not using at the moment." Mackenzie Click.
Shawnee junior, said. "We also save and reuse grocery bags."
One of the best ways to save money and energy is to cut down on utilities. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) can significantly lower monthly bills in an apartment or house by providing the same amount of light for one-sixth the wattage.
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that a single CFL will save more than $30 during its five-year lifetime, which is about eight times the lifespan of ordinary incandescent light bulbs.
"If you take them with you when you move, they'll probably still be working when you
graduate and move into your first home," Severin said.
Another quick way to cut down on utility bills is to kill a few vampires — though not the blood-sucking type. The Department of Energy defines "electricity vampires" as appliances that draw a small amount of electricity even when they are turned off or are in "standby" mode.
Some common energy-wasting appliances found in students' homes include LCD/plasma televisions, laptop computers, video game consoles and cell phone chargers. Many electronic devices draw a small charge even when turned off to power things, such as clocks, and to be able to detect a remote control, such as a television remote or video game controller. Other devices, such as cell phone chargers, are poorly designed, so they don't stop drawing electricity even when not in use.
WAYS TO SAVE
Buy compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs).
According to the Department of Energy Web site, www.energy.gov, these vampires can make up to 10 percent of a homeowner's electricity bill. Unplugging these devices is the

most straightforward way to prevent energy waste, but using a surge protector with an on/off switch is an even simpler way. Surge protectors are designed to stop the flow of electricity when in "off" mode. That way, an energy-wasting television, video game console and cell phone charger can all be stopped with

one switch.
Saving on utilities also includes cutting down on water. According to the KU Center for Sustainability's Web site, www2. ku.edu/~sustain, some of the simplest water conservation techniques include turning the water off while brushing teeth and shaving, and taking short showers instead of baths.
"I have an aluminum water bottle so I don't have to buy bottled water."
Some students have already
found that cutting down on bottled water is a great way to save money and reduce waste.
KENDAL FORIO Lawrence junior
"I have an aluminum water bottle so I don't have to buy bottled water," Kendal Forio, Lawrence junior, said. A student who uses an aluminum water bottle that costs $10 instead of buying two bottles of water per week can save
nearly $100 per year and prevent more than a 100 plastic bottles from ending up in landfills.
People who live in apartments and want that bottled-water taste can use water filters. These products last for months before their filters need to be replaced, which can amount to hundreds of bottles of water for about $8 per filter.
According to the KU Center for Sustainability's Web site, one overlooked method of saving energy is using cold water to wash clothing. Students can save more than $60 per year by using special cold-water detergent and using less hot water, which can cost extra electricity or gas to heat.
According to the KU Center
Shopping at used clothing or furniture stores can also cut a student's expenses and can keep unnecessary waste out of landfills.
"Shop at used clothing stores to get good quality, gently used items instead of buying new," said Severin. "Really put some thought into your purchases and consider the long term impacts of your purchasing decisions."

CHEVY'S
Although most landlords won't allow painting, there are still fun and inexpensive ways to give walls personality. Try faux wallpapering, which is completely covering a wall with posters, pictures or magazine covers. Choosing wall art with uniting features, such as similar colors or themes, gives the wall a cohesive and wallpapered look.
Photo Illustration by Jerry Wang
If you're going to cover an entire wall, shop around for deals on wall art so you can cover a lot of space without spending too much. Posters, especially from movies, can get expensive.
"Dollar General on Sixth Street has tons of great wall art," Aly Inglish, Overland Park junior, said. "The prices of the posters there are much lower than they would be at most stores, so you can buy a lot for decorating."
If covering an entire wall seems like too much, the same project can be created on a smaller scale. When faux wallpapering a portion of the wall, complete the piece by framing it. This will give it a finished look.
Whether covering the entire wall of an apartment, or just putting up the classic "Animal House" poster, use an adhesive that won't damage the wall. Before putting anything up, test the adhesive on a less visible part of the wall. If it's easily removed after a few days, consider it safe. But asking your landlord what kind of tape to use is probably the safest way to ensure getting your security deposit back.
WHEN ON A BUDGET
Most college students operate on a budget. And even the lucky few who aren't probably wouldn't mind benefiting from some decorating deals.
The best time to buy furniture and accessories for apartment decorating is a week or two after school starts. That's when stores such as Kohl's and Target put their dorm accessories on sale.
These pieces are designed with college students' style and space limitations in mind and are usually in fun colors or prints.
Traditional stores aren't the only place to find deals either.
"Always search newspapers and the Internet for deals," Kelsey Heard, Olathe freshman, said.
such as www.clvermoms.com, which lists deals and sales on everything from furniture to garden supplies.

Anything can be reused to decorate a space. Hundreds of cheap, and even free, apartment decorations are waiting at the antique mall, Goodwill, garage sales and in the trash. What
The best time to buy furniture and accessories for apartment decorating is a week or two after school starts.
may seem like junk can be restored into decorations and furniture using just a little creativity. Reusing these treasures will keep them out of landfills, too.
After cleaning an old couch, cover it with a slip cover or use patterned sheets. Pillows can also remedy boring seating.
Mismatched coffee tables, TV stands and dressers can be painted, stained or shellacked. Shellacking allows you to finish pieces in an original and inexpensive way.
Use sheet music, book pages, pieces of wallpaper, magazine pictures or any kind of paper to decorate old furniture. Then use a shellac finish to permanently attach the paper.
The most expensive room to furnish is usually the living room. Luckily, old couches and tables are easy to find and just as easy to fix up. Don't worry about pieces matching — just make sure they're comfortable, cheap and fit in your space. Think of the pieces as blank canvases.
Edited by Andrew Wiebe
I've been able to apply what my family taught me about sustainability, and what college has taught me about money, to decorate my space in a cheap but innovative way. Artistic vision and knowing where to find deals is all that's needed to make our living spaces unique. Start looking early in order to have enough time to make inventive alterations to reusable pieces you find.

editor's note
---
I thought living by myself would have been a dream. No messes of others to deal with.No awkward morning encounters
with strangers my roommates had stay the night. And no impromptu midnight parties that would distract me from my sleep.
But after about a month of solitude, I became lonely. Rather than admitting that I was lonely, I got a dog.
Buster;as he was named by his former owner, was a beagle and was a lot messier than any roommate I've ever had. Anything stuffed was promptly shredded and any clean part of the carpet was swiftly tainted with pee or poop.
But no matter how many pillows were destroyed or stains were made, I couldn't get mad at his puppy dog eyes or good intention-filled personality.
Eventually, I had to give Buster away because I was moving to an apartment that already had two dogs. Hope he doesn't miss me too much, because I really miss him.

Hall & Oates So Close
By Kelly Breckunitch kbreckunitch@kansan.com
Public speaking is Americans' No. I fear. Singing in public, though, is a whole different story. Maybe having the words right in front of them provides a safety net for wannabe singers. Fact is, talented vocalists or drunken fools do it with the same amount of enthusiasm, so you shouldn't be embarrassed to give it a try. In some ways, it's a very liberating experience.
Bars are known to have karaoke, but restaurants such as Encore Café offer karaoke options as well. Denny Wong, manager of Encore Café, 1007 Massachusetts Street, says the karaoke experience at Encore is different from others around town.
Encore has five private rooms with karaoke set-ups. Some rooms can hold 12 people, and others can hold up to 20. In China, karaoke is a private experience in an enclosed environment with friends, Wong says.
Americanized karaoke, though, is exhibitionist in nature. Participants get on stage and perform to a crowd of people, many of whom they do not know. Karaoke works like this on Saturday nights at Set 'Em Up Jacks, 1800 East 23rd Street. Karaoke takes place in the main room of the restaurant.
Neither restaurant is lacking for participants, either. "It's gotten so popular that sometimes people don't get to sing more than once," says Set 'Em Up Jacks owner Danny Koehn.
Wong says Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest nights for Encore's karaoke rooms. Both restaurants also have a group of regulars who come in."Mostly they come here for karaoke, not for eating," Wong says. At Set 'Em Up Jacks, the regulars are a little crazier. "Some people have their own choreographed routines," Koehn says.
You don't have to go out, though, to have a good time doing karaoke. You can always rent a machine. Shinichi Takenouchi owns Karaoke Entertainment, a rental company in Kansas City, Missouri. Takenouchi says the best part about karaoke is that it's fun for any occasion. Some people may be more willing to burst into song in a private setting. Takenouchi says the machines are easy to use as well. "It's like a jukebox. You just punch this number and that number." Takenouchi says.
Logan Walker, Holcomb senior, tries to go out to a karaoke night every other week and says people shouldn't be discouraged from trying it. "You don't have to be a good singer to be good at karaoke," Walker says. Besides, karaoke opens up the opportunity for some wild times. Walker recalls one specific night doing karaoke with some friends.
"All the girls decided to sign up all of the guys for singing without telling us. They called all of our names to go up there at the same time and it ended up being an *NSYNC song. They (the girls) started screaming and being like crazy fans, and it was a good time," Walker says.
Koehn sees this behavior often from the singers at Set 'Em Up Jacks and understands why they can cut loose." It lets them pretend like they're a rock star," Koehn says.
Karaoke can provide people with the opportunity to get wild and put their nerves behind them. Koehn has seen some mediocre performers on stage, so you shouldn't be afraid to do your thing.
Takenouchi passes on some words of wisdom for anyone who still has doubts as well. "Take a drink and what the heck," he says. A drop of liquid courage may be just what you need to party like a rock star. JP

So you think you can't sing ...
I sat in my car minutes before performing at Set 'Em Up Jack's karaoke night. I was listening to my song choice making sure I wouldn't screw up the lyrics, because, let's face it, there are a lot of confusing lyrics in some of the most popular songs (thank you Kurt Cobain!). Here are some of the more confusing lyrics from '80s, '90s and today.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" — Nirvana
Misheard lyric: Here we are now,in containers
Actual lyric: Here we are now, entertain us
"Livin' on a Prayer"—Bon Jovi
"Livin' on a Prayer - Don't join Misheard lyric: It doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not Actual lyric: It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
"Hey Ya"—Outkast
Actual lyric: Shake it like a Polaroid picture
"Bohemian Rhapsody" — Queen
Misheard lyric: Shake it like a polar bear ninja
Misheard lyric:The algebra has a devil for a sidekick eckeee ...

Oldies with a twist
By Kristopher McDonald kmcdonald@kansan.com
Two Lawrence DJs pave their way with some goodies from the past
Inside, the lights are turned down, the music is flowing, and everyone in the bar is dancing the night away. Brian Sears, or rather DJ BSears, is controlling the pace of the evening with each song selection he makes from his obscure collection of vinyl treasures.
Sears, Lawrence junior, along with Washington, D.C., native and Lawrence resident Matt "Stackswell" Brenner, hosts "The Breakdown," a monthly event with a club-like atmosphere, at the Eighth Street Tap Room, 801 New Hampshire Street. This Saturday, "The Breakdown" will feature special guest, DJ Sabo—the world-renowned artist is based in New York.
The event does come with a warning, Sears says.
"If you want to break up the monotony of the usual bar scene, come check us out," Sears says. "Just please don't expect us to play any songs you've ever heard."
---
Working hard to forge their way in a
mostly indie rock town, Sears and Stackswell are trying to bring a new sound to Lawrence with a little bit of flair. The odds of hearing a Billboard Hot 100 song are slim, but this pair of DJs hopes to musically educate its audience with its rare mix of 45s and LPs—once thought to be a thing of the past.
In Sears' collection, an eclectic assortment of jazz, funk and disco from the '70s and '80s can now be found, but it took time to establish a credible base of music to launch his career. When Sears found his passion for Djing, he set out to enhance his selection of music. Sears used every extra penny he had buying and trading vinyl records through online forums and personal connections.
In the world of DJs, a 45 is the most common form of the vinyl single—the name is derived from its play speed, 45 rpm. An LP, or long-playing phonograph record, is designed to be played at 33 1/3 rpm.
"To some people it sounds crazy, especially my parents, to spend money on old 45s, but to me it's an investment into what I love," Sears says. "It's my passion and I just want to share it."

Spin those records: Brian Sears, left and Matt "Stackswell" Brenner, right, host "The Breakdown," a monthly event at The Eighth Street Tap Room. Their next show is this Saturday with guest DJ Sabo.
The kinds of records these DJs buy and trade can cost from $75 to $400,but Stackswell says these vintage jewels can sell for even more. Recently,Stackswell sold a Messenger, Inc.,record on eBay for more than $1,000.This isn't always the norm,it just depends on how much a buyer really covets a specific record Sears says.
"One day a record will be worth $50 and the next day it could be worth $300." Sears says.
During one particular exchange of records last year, Sears met Stackswell through an acquaintance and the two immediately hit it off. Sears, who was the sole host of "The Breakdown," asked Stackswell to join him in his show. Stackswell, living in Washington, D.C., at the time, flew in once per month to co-host the event until he finally made the decision to move to Lawrence permanently early in the fall.
"I really enjoyed Lawrence and loved the culture here so it just made sense to me," Stackswell says." I figured it just made sense for me at this time in my life."
The two DJs work well together but each brings his own style to the show. Sears is more laid-back, letting the music speak for itself. Stackswell incorporates his collection
of Motown, northern Detroit soul and blue note jazz with his personable. crowd-inclusive style.
"I like to get on the mic and make shout-outs," Stackswell says. "I want to make everyone feel appreciated and included."
Whether two people are on the dance floor or 500 are, Sears and Stackswell aren't satisfied unless everyone is happy. For them, a good night happens when everyone is on the dance floor; losing track of time. Brian Majors, KU alum and Lawrence resident, has been to "The Breakdown" before and says he will be there again.
"It's a party. People who have never been to a dance night at the Tap Room should try it out." Majors says."They pack the place and I've never not had a good time."
Sears and Stackswell are aware that not everyone will be open to their brand of music, but all they ask for is a chance to show how much fun the music of our past can be.

DJ Sabo in the spotlight

"The Breakdown," hosted by Brian Sears and Matt "Stackswell" Brenner, welcomes special guest DJ Sabo at 10 p.m. on Saturday. Based out of New York but originally from Philadelphia, Sabo, 33, lets his passion for music drive his life and hopes to spread his sound along the way.
"If I can get a room full of 10 people moving or 1,000, it's a good night," Sabo says. "The whole point is to take people on a journey until the lights come on."
When he isn't busy in NewYork, Sabo is DJing around the world. Recent trips have included Atlanta, Los Angeles and San Francisco, but he has also played in various countries such as the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Mexico, France and Austria.
---
One of his most memorable gigs came after President Obama's inauguration when he DJed for the Huffington Post party, which included singers such as Sheryl Crow, Will. I.Am., and Sting.
This will be Sabo's second visit to Lawrence and he says he can't wait to play in front of an open audience again.
"The last time I was here was great. The party went off," Sabo says. "People in New York aren't always as open-minded to my sound, but in Lawrence, it's something they haven't heard and the people really seemed to love it."
---
"We take music that people have probably never heard and turn it into something people enjoy and swear they have heard before," Sears says. "A lot of times people are surprised by how much they really like the music we play."
If you are at the show, feel free to ask Sears or Stackswell what they are playing or anything about their passion, just don't ask for Justin Timberlake or 50 Cent, Sears says.
"I love sharing my passion with people but it gets frustrating when all they want is the Top 40," Sears says.
After all, if the Billboard Hot 100 is what you want—just turn on the radio and have a dance party at home. JP

This Weekend: Dog Jog 2009
The sun is shining,flowers are blooming,and the air is finally getting warmer. Spring is upon us,and so too is spring fever.People aren't the only ones getting a little friskier this time of year—dogs are too.
Instead of simply taking your dog on an extended walk this weekend, treat him or her to something special: the 2009 Dog Jog at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. It's a 5K dog run or walk to benefit the Lawrence Humane Society.The race starts and ends at the Burge Union.
Runners and walkers are encouraged to leash their dogs and bring them along for the fun, race organizer Jessica King says. King, Chanute alumna, has been working closely with junior Jessica Pierce, of Lawrence, junior Chelsea Mertz, of Topeka, and Concerned, Active and Aware Students to put on this event.
Registration is $15 and includes a T-shirt, and 100 percent of the fee goes to the Lawrence Humane Society.
With the current recession, it's easy to forget about organizations such as the Humane Society, Pierce says.
"Everyone loves animals, right!" Pierce says. "So why not come out and have some fun with your dog? It's one of the cheaper runs out there and all of the money goes to a great cause."

That's DISGUSTING French kissing
Many of you probably found the tongue tango disgusting when you were younger. Now, French kissing can be a way to show affection with or attraction toward a significant other. French kissing can also transmit some diseases.
Saliva can carry various infectious diseases that cause colds and skin diseases. Herpes and mononucleosis, also known as the kissing disease, are among the most common infectious diseases that can be passed through a French kiss, says Richard Siegel, certified sexual educator.

It won't help to clean your mouth after a saliva-swapping kiss. Once you kiss, Siegel says, brushing your teeth or rinsing your mouth will not be effective in preventing herpes and mononucleosis.
Tongue tied: As passionate and intimate as French kissing can feel, all that saliva swapping can spread diseases such as herpes and mononucleosis.

Ginger
If motion sickness creeps up every time you ride in a car or plane, try some ginger. Ginger is helpful for nausea, says Kathi Kemper, a pediatrics professor at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.
How ginger works as an anti-nausea remedy is unclear, but Kemper, author of The Holistic Pediatrician, found ginger has been well documented as a remedy for nausea. It has been used as a medicine in various parts of the world, including China and India.
Kemper says ginger is best used as the spice or in tea made from fresh root. To prevent motion sickness, eat or drink ginger about half an hour before traveling. You can also get a dose of ginger in candy form at Wheatfields Bakery, 904 Vermont Street, or drink ginger ale.

Recipe for better sex
By Megan Weltner mweltner@kansan.com
How your diet can improve your performance in the sack
When Jessica Puljan went home the summer after senior year to see her long-distance boyfriend of two years, the last thing on her mind was sex. Although the two had not seen each other for months, that year Puljan, Wheaton, Illinois, senior, gained 15 pounds while at KU. During their two years of dating, Puljan had never had trouble getting turned on, but this summer was different.
"He wasn't there when I stuffed my face that year. I looked terrible compared to the last time I saw him and the last thing I wanted to do was get on top of him," Puljan says.
According to a 2006 USA Today poll, 25 percent of men and 40 percent of women reported having little or no sex drive. But what if the ingredients to a greater sex life are at your nearest grocery store?
Consuming certain foods can help to not only improve your overall health but also to get that mojo going again. A couple of months after Puljan decided to change her eating habits, she noticed her sex drive skyrocket." I think greasy food taints the sex drive. I would feel bloated and terrible and it would drag me down," Puljan says."When I started eating healthy I actually believed my boyfriend when he told me I was sexy."
"From a psychological stand point, being healthy is the most important thing. People who do not take care of their bodies tend to have a lower sex drive," says Susan Carlson, professor of dietetics and nutrition. "If you are taking care of your body, you are feeling good about yourself, making you more open to having sexual experiences."
However, self-confidence is not the only benefit of eating well. Certain nutrients can help your sex life as well. "Many ingredients that are key to our overall health also help you to function better sexually," says Linda De Villers, sex therapist in Los Angeles. "When you aren't getting your nutrients, not only are you going to have poor health, you're going to have a limp dick. People really underestimate health and its effect on sex drive."
Chocolate may seem like the most cliché aphrodisiac, but it does do some good for our bodies when it comes to the bedroom.A study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that
those who consumed at least one ounce of chocolate daily reported significantly greater desire and better overall sexual function than those who did not consume chocolate at all. Chocolate is known to increase circulation within the body which improves overall sexual sensitivity and function.
"While some people may think the whole chocolate thing is a myth, it is actually the No. I aphrodisiacal food," DeVillers says."The more blood flow in your body, the more sensation you will have down below."
Other circulation-enhancing dishes have the ability to increase sexual pleasure as well. Theresa Rose, psychoanalyst in Shawnee, says the omega-3 in salmon can have a positive effect on your sex life. "Increased circulation and the nutrients in omega-3 are going to make you function better sexually."
A lesser known pleasure enhancer is arginine—an amino acid that creates nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is released from the lining of the genitals when you become aroused and it causes the blood vessels to expand. Without enough nitric oxide, men are unable to get an erection. Arginine is found in foods such as oatmeal, nuts, wheat germ, milk and yogurt.
"I really noticed that greasy foods tainted my sex drive because I felt terrible, but anytime I eat fruits, veggies, yogurts and low-calorie dairies it makes me feel good and makes it happen in the bedroom," Puljan says.
Though research is not definitive on the amino acid arginine, De Villers says adding
it to your diet cannot hurt. "It makes sense. Nitric Oxide is the stuff of Viagra." De Villers says. "If you can increase your supply of Nitric Oxide it should help you to get an erection."
The other major ingredients to a strong sex life are antioxidants. Found in most fruits and vegetables, antioxidants help to keep your arteries clean, and not surprisingly, your blood flowing. "Is a whole bottle going to make you horny?" says Pat Kaufman, licensed sex therapist. "No. But by including lots of antioxidant-rich foods into your diet you will feel better inside and out, therefore improving your sex-drive." Blueberries, cranberries and artichokes are some of the most antioxidant-rich foods, according to the USDA.
The experts say there is no miracle drug but eating a well-balanced diet full of fish, fruits and vegetables can help your desire to have sex and also your ability to achieve full satisfaction.
"When I eat like shit the last thing I want to do is get naked," says Rob Dillenback, Plano senior. "A pizza equals a nap, something less filling and healthier makes me ready for some sex."
De Villers agrees and says it's all about health."Sure these foods can help but eating five salmon in one day isn't going to help you. Balance and moderation are the real recipe." JP
Pecans and walnuts are good sources of omega-3, which improves circulation in your nether regions for better sex. Chicken contains arginine, an amino acid that creates Nitric Oxide, which helps men and women both achieve orgasm.

Recipe: A day's recipe for good sex
Breakfast
Oatmeal with blueberries (high in both antioxidants and arginine)
The antioxidants keep your arteries clean and improve overall circulation. The arginine produces nitric oxide. Nitric oxide secretes from your genitals and helps men's ability to get an erection and women's ability to orgasm during sex.
Lunch
Tuna salad sandwich on wheat bread (the wheat bread contains arginine and the tuna contains Omega-3)
The arginine promotes the secretion of nitric oxide, while the omega-3 improves circulation down below.
Snack
Yogurt or cottage cheese (both contain arginine)
Increased nitric oxide secretion making an erection or orgasm more achievable.
Salmon, sautéed spinach and whole grain roll (salmon contains omega-3, spinach is high in antioxidants and the whole grains contain arginine)
Dinner
— This meal gets it all done: increased secretion of nitric oxide, cleansing of the arteries and increased circulation.

Don't throw THAT away
There's a place for everything if you're willing to take everything to its place.
By Becka Cremer bcremer@kansan.com
Does a mini-fridge take up more space than a bookshelf? Will a bike fit in the trunk? How many T-shirts worth of space does a CD collection take up?
When the thrill—and the parties—that mark the end of the school year wears off, you'll still be left to pack for the trip home, for your ever-approaching August move, or for that summer internship in the big city. Don't get stuck with a home full of stuff, a
tiny car and the urge to toss everything into a dumpster. Instead, plan ahead and donate your unwanted stuff.
"Students don't think about it, but the end of the semester can sneak up on us," says Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability.
Start thinking about what items you won't need in your next residence, and start donating now. Begin with the items you won't
need before you move, such as winter clothes. Severin says.
C
"So when you move, it's not really a rush to dump everything in the trash and run. Plan ahead so you're disposing of those things responsibly," Severin says.
Lawrence has a wealth of donation opportunities, so if you spend a little time driving around town now, you can avoid the dumpsters come move-out day.

Earth-friendly dry cleaning
ECO-LOGIC DRY CLEANERS
Photo by Becka Cremer
Thanks to Eco-Logic Dry Cleaners, which opened last month, Lawrence has a green way to dry clean.
Eco-Logic, 2540 South Iowa Street, uses the GreenEarth Cleaning process to dry clean your duds. The only solvent used in the GreenEarth process is liquid silicone, says Eddie Ocampo, whose parents own Eco-Logic. Liquid silicone is not harmful to the environment and it breaks down into sand, water and carbon dioxide, Ocampo says.
Green sense Eco-Logic Dry Cleaners uses an environmentally friendly process to dry clean your clothes.
The GreenEarth process preserves the softness and color of clothing, and it doesn't have the usual just-dry-cleaned smell. And, Ocampo says, the average cost of dry cleaning the GreenEarth way is about the same as taking your clothes to a traditional cleaner.
But do we really need a greener dry cleaning process?
The Environmental Protection Agency thinks so.
About 85 percent of dry cleaners use a toxic chemical called perchloroethylene, or perc, to treat stains, according to the EPA. Perc must be disposed of carefully, and can pollute the air, water and the ground. Perc is
also dangerous for people. Overexposure to the chemicals can cause liver damage and, early studies show, may also lead to cancer.
So, when you're deciding where to take your dry clean-only clothes, consider the process used by your dry cleaner. Eco-Logic might be the best choice for you—and the earth.

Rid yourself of junk mail
Although she doesn't count, Mindy Pressman guesses she gets about five pieces of junk mail for every piece of legit mail.
She says that she has used the coupons she gets a few times, but that she finds the vast amount of junk mail she receives a waste.
"I would forego my lifetime savings from junk mail coupons if it meant that I never received another one," says Pressman, San Diego graduate student. "I don't use the overwhelming majority of the stuff I get."
One option for junk mail is to recycle it like Michelle Kanga does. Kanga, Rockville, Maryland, graduate student, says she recycles all her junk mail. However, recycling does not make up for the energy it took to get the junk mail to her. When you account for the energy it takes to print the junk mail, transport it and recycle it, junk mail seems like a massive waste.
Getting your name off junk mail lists can be time consuming and require you to send out letters of your own. Step-by-step manuals detailing how to stop junk mail from invading your mailbox are available at www.ecocycle.org

DIY How to avoid hander- outers on campus
They are the sharks in the sea of people.
You can spot them in people-laden places, looking for the person who shows weakness. If you make eye contact or aren't on your cell phone, they will attack you with their spiel. Thespiel is what they want you to do, which can vary from voting for a Student Senate representative to joining the rowing team to joining Hara Krishna.
Odds are that don't want to be affronted by these people,why else would they need to recruit in the first place?
Max Sprague, Overland Park senior, says he is a master in the art of avoidance. He tells the Student Senate "hassler" that he already voted. He gives the same spiel to anyone else who bothers him between classes.
Below are some tactics to avoid these people, or at least get them off your back as quickly as possible.
The one-person call. Open your cell phone and talk into it. This will show everyone you aren't interested whatsoever in the world around you. If you are female, you can enhance this tactic by wearing bug-eyed sunglasses, which is perhaps the pinnacle of being anti-social.

Hungry as wolves: Avoid eye contact if you don't want your day to be disrupted by campus hand-outers.
Appear drunk or high. Walk unsteadily and make your eyes into slits. Most "hasslers" will ignore you because they won't want to bring in "the wrong kind of person." If the hander-outers do talk to you, ask them or if they have any food. If they say no and go back into their spiel, say, "No seriously, do you have any food?" If they say yes, then you will get some food.

What to do when things go WRONG
Lost your scholarship? Job?
Here's how to get them back
By Adam Schoof aschoof@kansan.com
You put it off too long. You just couldn't be bothered, until now, and "now" is too late. Your GPA has dropped below the minimum and you've lost your scholarship. You've taken too many sick days and you've lost your job. What can you do to recoup from a lost job or scholarship?
Scholarships help students stay in school and many students depend on them. If Marina Rasuk lost her scholarships, she shed have to go back to Brazil, her home country. Having two scholarships allows Rasuk, a freshman, to spend her money on other things; she's says she's buying a car next year.
But what could she do if she lost her scholarship? What if you lose yours?
Lose your scholarship?
If you've lost a scholarship, then getting it back depends on what type of scholarship you've lost. If you received a scholarship from the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, then you have the option to appeal.The office requires students to maintain a 3.25 GPA and complete 24 credit hours between fall and spring to keep their scholarships.
To appeal, you provide the office with your ARTS form, an appeals form and other personal information. The latter is your opportunity to provide personal information not on the ARTS form, Sherron says.
"The only hoops we ask a student to jump through are academics," says Gail Sherron, associate director at the Office of Admissions and Scholarships. "We're trying to be as nice and fair as possible."
If you don't meet the GPA and credit hour requirements, the office will send you a letter about your opportunity to appeal.
Another option is to find another scholarship. Websites such as www.fastweb.com and FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, at www.fafsa.ed.gov, could be good starting points.
If your scholarship appeal isn't approved or if you can't find another, then you might need
to take out a loan to stay in college. Although it might be a financial burden later, many students, such as Jake Bustad, Granger, Iowa, graduate student, prefer not to think about it. Bustad says he has enough student loans to "equal the GDP of a small island nation." He says he likes to put off thinking about his student loans because there isn't anything he can do about it now.
"I like to think about it as a couple of luxury cars that I'll never own but get to pay for anyway," Bustad says.
Loans come with daunting financial responsibility; this is something Lawrence Henderson, Lansing law student, realizes. Henderson says he'll graduate law school with more than $66,000 in debt.
"While I do have a job waiting for me and I know I can make enough to pay off those loans in short order, (in a slumping economy it's) not something I ... want to be responsible for," Henderson says.
In addition to his student loans, Henderson has a grant that has helped him pay for college.
"If I didn't have the grant (and student loans), then I'd just have to take out more in loans," Henderson says. Despite his loans' substantial amount, Henderson says he considers himself lucky that he will get out of law school with only $66,000 in debt.
Lose your job?
Some people, however; don't want to have such a burden and decide to work their way through college. But how would they stay afloat if they lost their job? If you lose your job, then the most sensible thing to do is to get another.
The University posts jobs on www. kucareerhawk.com. To access them, you have to activate an account with KU Career Connections. Both on- and off-campus job postings are listed on the site, says Ann Hartley, associate director at the University Career Center. The site is geared toward graduates,
but anyone can get an account.
But this shouldn't be the only place you look. Hartley says she suggests persistence in looking for a job. The most critical thing, Hartley says, is networking, which will open more doors than applying to businesses in which you have no connection. However, the basics still apply: If you don't have a solid résumé, your contact in the company won't do you much good.
If you need help with your résumé, cover letters or anything else to do with finding a job. Hartley says you should come to the Career Center, which is in the basement of the Burge Union.
Hartley also suggests going to the center's next career fair, which is from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.on April 30 in the fifth level of the Kansas Union.The fair, which is also sponsored by the School of Business, features employers who are hiring now. JP

Career workshop today
Did you wait until the last weeks of school to look for a job? Don't know how to get one? In addition to the Just in Time Career Fair on April 30, the University Career Center is hosting a "Better Late Than Jobless" workshop from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. today in the Burge Union. The workshop will show you how to identify the job you want to search for, how to create or update a resume and how to network with companies.

Q&A
Alex Ward of
The Noise FM
EXIT
When Alex Ward isn't working as substitute teacher or census worker, he's singing, playing guitar and keys in The Noise FM.The Noise FM is a local trio that was spawned in Fort Scott in 2005. The band has had some success in the Midwest with the single,"Circles." Its new EP is available for free at www.thenoisefmmusic.com. The band will be playing at the Replay Lounge Friday at 10 p.m., $2 to $3 at the door.Ward gives Jayplay some insight on the worst gigs, odd jobs and the vanity of musicians.
How would you describe your music?
There aren't any pretense;s; we're playing accessible rock and roll. We had prog-rock tendencies but over the last year and a half we've switched to dancer music. It's fun, but it's not dumbed down by any means. We're trying to do fairly intelligent dance rock.
What's the most memorable gig you've had?
The most memorable ones are the extremely awkward performances. We did benefit concerts that were fashion shows in Kansas City. We were playing for runway models, I use that term loosely, and tried to be serious about it, but you just feel goofy when people are modeling wears in front of you. It was a lot of men modeling underwear—scantily clad men moving to our music.
Have you ever had a gig that was so awkward that it just turned bad?
I'd say about 50 percent of the shows are like that (laughs). Southeast Kansas will always be interesting, like a dive called Lurch's Bar in
Parsons, Kansas. We played on the floor; the sound system was terrible. It's a biker bar and we're just a bunch of kids. It's known for Lurch burgers, which are two pounds of grease and a guy named Lurch makes it and brings it to you. And he looks like a Lurch. He's a sweaty, tall guy. We thought the burgers and drinks were on the house, and about a week later we got an e-mail from someone saying we skipped out on our tab. Evidently those burgers are how Lurch makes his money.
Have you had any fans in a class you were substitute teaching for?
Why do you make music? What does it do for you?
One of the first times I subbed in Eudora I had a kid recognize me from a show. I've had a couple instances where kids recognize me from a show. One kid has a sticker on his binder in the class I was subbing, I'm trying to be strict and play the teacher role but the kid was cool and had bought our CD.
I just naturally started doing it because my dad was in bands all of his life—my brother and I were just born into it. I guess.
Obviously there's a creative release that any musical artist gets through expressing themselves through their music. I feel like I'm a fairly modest, laid-back guy, but there's a certain degree of vanity if you're a musician. You want people to hear your songs. You get some sort of satisfaction from people hearing what you've created. I want people to hear it.

Bitch& MOAN
with Garly Halvorson and Elliot Kort
I just recently started dating someone I've been friends with for a while. But we're both kind of nervous about how this decision will be received by our mutual friends. How can we best break the news?
Brandon, freshman
Carly: It's understandable to be nervous, because you can definitely expect your friends to throw their two cents in. Before you tell them what's up, make sure that you two are prepared. Be ready in case one (or more) friend decides to tell you that it's a bad idea. I think its best to divide and conquer.
Have your significant other tell some friends and you tell the others. Don't tell them all at once so you can avoid feeling as if your friends are ganging up on you. Don't dance around the subject, either. Just say, "So, Susie and I started dating recently." When one of your friends starts to protest, assure them that things won't be awkward when you're together (and in case
you break up). Listen to what they have to say, but don't let it change your relationship. It'll be hard to balance your respect for your friends with your new relationship, but it's nothing that strong friendships can't handle.
Elliot: The most important thing here is that, no matter when you decide to break the news, you are on the same page. You'll never be able to control how your friends react. However, making sure that you don't put your new girlfriend in a tight spot is something you can control. So preparing yourselves for whatever reaction might come is all you can do.
I agree with Carly. It's not the best idea to gather everyone around to tell them all the great news. One by one, starting with the most reliably calm friend you have, pull everyone aside to let them know. Be calm, be cool, and be casual. You two are not divulging state secrets; you're just letting your buds know that you've started dating. If your friends can't handle that, then that's their problem.

My roommate is absolutely miserable. She and I aren't really that great of friends, but it's so hard to ignore that something is going on. She sits in her room and cries all the time. How do I approach her to see what's wrong? I feel like it might come off the wrong way because we're not close. I don't want to be nosy. I really do want to help her.
Melissa, freshman
Carly: Oh yeah, there's definitely something wrong. Based on what you said, it sounds as if she's really depressed. I'm sure she would really appreciate you wanting to help her.
To avoid coming off as nosy or intruding on her space, just take some small steps to reach out to her. Do something to show that you're concerned about her and that you're willing to be a friend to her. Try leaving a note on her door or on her bed. Maybe even leave a small gift, just so that she knows that someone is thinking about her and has gone the extra mile to show that they care. She may not want to talk to you, and that's her choice to make. If she turns down your offer, say something like,"OK, but just know that I'm here if you change your mind." That will leave the door open for her in the future, when she feels more comfortable.
**Elliot:** Melissa, it's clear you genuinely care about your roommate. And it seems to me that the best thing you can do for your roommate is make sure she knows too. You're worried about coming off as pushy or nosy. Pushy and nosy come when you insist that you know what to do to help her out.
The way to avoid that situation is to let her know that you've noticed she's depressed and that you're there for her if she needs anything. If she needs a shoulder to cry on, you'll be there. If she just needs to know that she can
turn to you in a time of need, she knows it. In the end, the only person who can know what she's going through is her. Show that you're available if she needs and then let her take the next step.

BOOK: City of Thieves by David Benioff
The novel itself is shrouded in mystery, marketed as fiction but printed with the compelling first chapter of David Benioff's interview with his possibly nonfictional, knife-fighting grandfather. Benioff pulled his comment thanking his grandfather for "the late-night calls" and similar elements from the reprinting and is now claiming his ingenious plot was invented.
Whether the events that span the novel City of Thieves actually occurred for one man or not, Benioff's in-depth research of the city of Leningrad and it's starving Russian people during the Nazi's siege weave together a community's story of survival. The protagonist, Lev, a Jewish teenager arrested for looting a German corpse, must survive by stealing something much more precious than money: a dozen eggs for the Colonel's beloved daughter's wedding. Lev and Koyla, a handsome and charming deserter charged with the same task, have a week to find their treasure and win back their ration cards—their keys to food and, therefore, to life.
As the pair traverses war-torn Russia, escaping cannibals and crossing enemy lines, they are ultimately introduced to the atrocities of the war and the depth of the human spirit. Benioff masterfully navigates the emotions of adolescence, as well as the scenes of devastation, hope and loss, while leaving the story with a sense of believability.
His ability to touch everything with a gentle humor helps to make the book a coming-of-age novel and a love story. How much of the book is nonfiction, and in the broader scheme of things, how much of non-fiction is invented, Benioff leaves the reader to ponder. Readers will not be disappointed by Benioff's latest blockbuster.

My lil' buddy
I promise he's not an accessory. He's my best small friend.
By Kristopher McDonald

DENVER
MARSHAL
Photo by Ryan Waggoner
The cold morning air pierces every inch of my skin. The uninformed decision to venture out coatless was an awful mistake. The only motivation I find is coming from the five-pound ball of fur prancing about in front of me. Bitterly cold, and just plain bitter at the moment, I brave the conditions for my little buddy. After all, he is going to be stuck all day in an empty apartment by his lonesome. Eventually he will stop to sniff around, creeping ever so close to his favorite tree. I don't say a word. Don't make a motion. Don't do anything that might disturb his morning routine. Oh, maybe ... wait for it ... YES! Finally, it happens. I look down and see the fruits of his labor—three peanut-sized turds. All that pain, all that agony for that? He leaps in my direction looking for approval, hoping that he has, in fact, been a good boy.
Kristopher was hesitant at first about getting such a small dog, but he eventually gave in to Reilly's cuddly and energetic nature.
Photo by Kyff Waggoner
Kristopher's Yorkie, Reilly, can go a day without dressing up in one of his dozens of outfits.
My puppy, Reilly, looks like a dog and barks somewhat like a dog, yet at best he is only a miniscule version of a canine. Reilly is a miniature Yorkshire terrier, a black and brown ball of fluff with an abundance of energy. I am a 6-foot, 210-pound former college baseball player trying to navigate my way through graduate school. Somewhere soon you will find our mugs next to the definition of an odd couple.
My mom spent years pleading with my dad for a Yorkie until he eventually broke down and bought her one. The only problem was Bling (my dad's ridiculous name choice), became attached to my dad. So when my mom retired, my dad bought her another Yorkie. The only setback was Lil' Sis, as the kennel had named her, seemed too distraught to leave her Lil' Brother behind. My mom decided I needed a puppy, and my apartment would make the perfect home for this cute little guy.
I wasn't so sure. I was skeptical at first when my parents offered me this furry little fellow. I always wanted a puppy to call my own, but the vision I had was significantly larger than Reilly. I saw myself with a much more manly breed—possibly a Boxer or a chocolate Lab. Despite my apprehension, my affinity for man's best friend got the best of me. As soon as I saw him my skepticism vanished, and I accepted my parent's undersized gift.
Born on April 17,2008,he was edging close to 5 months old when my parents brought
him to me in September. At that point, he was tipping the scales at a massive 3.5 pounds—the Polo shirt my mom dressed him in accounted for the half pound. My mom is one of those silly people who believes tiny animals should wear clothes, but not me—well, at least that's what I thought.
I had promised my mother that my dog would never wear clothes. My girlfriend promised my mother that our dog would never wear clothes. My dog now wears clothes.
I lost the battle—not with my mom, and with Reilly. I took off his shirt when my mom left, and he was infuriated. He jumped off my lap and moped around my apartment. I tried everything to get him to play, but he wouldn't. Finally. I gave in and put his shirt back on. You would have thought he won the puppy lotto as he snuggled
up next to my cheek and covered it with little puppy kisses. It is embarrassing to say but he possibly has more clothes than my 22-year-old girlfriend, Cara. He has a shirt or outfit for every occasion. He even has a lime green pair of jammies—yes, he has freakin' lime-green full-body pajamas that are adorned with little monkeys.
This is where I used to draw the line. I refused to walk him when he is wearing his favorite PJs. I used to pawn him off on Cara when people giggled and asked about him.“Oh, ummm, yeah he is my girlfriend's dog,” I would say. Then, I bought him a Braves tag to spruce up his manly image, but Cara told me I could no longer deny him, considering a girl would never put that on her dog. It's not that I was
embarrassed to take ownership, but I'd always think: Is everyone snickering because he is so
damn cute or are they just laughing at me? It took me a while, but I finally realized I couldn't live without Reilly. He truly is my best "small" friend. I no longer deny ownership of my buddy, but he still knows how to make my cheeks nice and rosy red from time-to-time on our adventures.
Last week, I took him on a walk around the block. We nearly made it all the way home without any incidents, but then the apartment security guard whipped around the corner to lock up the leasing office. As he opened his car door, Reilly attacked—as much as a five-pound fur ball can attack—and the wannabe 5-0 proudly stated, "Oh no! We got a killer on the loose." Really, Reilly? I'm pretty certain I made the man's night. For a moment, there was
someone else in the world even less manly than a rent-a-cop. Despite all the blushing and the rapid loss of masculinity points, I wouldn't trade Reilly for any other mass of fur in the world.
When I come home from one those of seemingly never-ending bad days, all of my worries disappear the moment I open my back door. Reilly, perched on his favorite chair, is always waiting for me, ready to cover my face with a dash of his puppy love.
Friday was his first birthday, and I made it special for him. I gave him his favorite treats, rolled around on the floor with him, played fetch with his favorite little bunny and made him his favorite food: chicken. After all he deserves it, he is the best gift I've ever received—a gift that truly just keeps giving. JP

Students from the departments of theater, music and dance combine to present Tree of Life, a Creative Campus project. The production explores the phenomenon of evolution through the stages of life and genetic connectedness.
Tree's roots are in science and art
Lied Center performance uses diverse media to unite disciplines
BY JENNIFER TORLINE jtorline@kansan.com
Faculty, students and visiting artists are connecting science and
their use this weekend end with a performance focused on evolution and the environment.
The performance, "Tree of Life — Origins and Evolutions," combines science, humanities and the performing
arts through music, dance, theater and film.

The performance is divided into three movements,or 'trees':
"It's not something you're publishing in a scientific journal, but it's more accessible to the public."
"The work on the stage is actually the artistic response to faculty research in science and the humanities," said Karen Christilles,

"With this intertwining, we'll be able to solve some of the conflict we're suffering from," said David Balakrishnan, founder of the Grammy Award-winning Turtle Island String Quartet, which is
participating in the performances.
The tree of life is the central, unifying image in the show. It is used to answer questions such as "Why are we here?" and "How can I be an individual of both faith and science?"
"It shows that science and art are not that different and you can actually collaborate together," said Cory Hills, Springfield, Va., doctoral student and percussionist with the KU Wind Ensemble, which is also participating in the performance.
Many primitive cultures used tree metaphors to explain the origins of life. The 'tree of life' took on symbolic meaning in ancient cultures across the world, from Assyria to Egypt to India. Then, in the modern era, the phrase "tree of life" became one of Charles

Israel week provides insight
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
To give students a taste of Israel, Hatikvah, a Jewish student organization, is putting on a series of events called Israel Week from Sunday through Saturday.
Jason Oruch, Plano, Texas, senior and vice president of Hatikvah, said the goal was to get 500 people to attend the events.
"This is the first time a weeklong event has been put on for Israel," Oruch said. "It's a really unique opportunity for students."
Matthew Rissien, Overland Park senior and president of Hatikvah, said the events were based around two holidays celebrated in Israel during the week. On Tuesday, Yom Hazikaron, the equivalent of Memorial Day, everyone comes together to mourn the loss of people who gave their lives in battle, Rissien said. Wednesday is Yom Haatzmaut and Israel is filled with barbecues, parties and celebrating, much like Independence Day, Rissien said. To celebrate Yom Haatzmaut Saturday night, Strong Black Coffee, an Ethiopian-Israeli hip-hop group, will perform at the Granada.
Rissien said Israel Week was meant to focus on Israel's culture, not its politics.
"For me, this is a way to show KU a glimpse of what life is like during this time in Israel," Rissien said. "Everyone on board planning this event has brought something to the table in terms of what they feel they can bring to campus to make it feel like Israel."
The Hatikvah board directing the week's events is composed of leaders from the KU Jewish organizations Hillel and Chabad House, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Zeta Beta Tau and Sigma Delta Tau, which have all given donations to fund the events.
The first event of the week will be a three-on-three basketball tournament at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center

Farmers' market offers local, organic produce
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
Ihendrick@kansan.com
April is on its way out and local produce is on its way in.
On April 11 the downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market on Ninth and New Hampshire streets opened for the season as vendors set up tents to show off and sell their spring produce. The market is open from 7 to 11 a.m. every Saturday.
Margaret Tran, Derby junior, said she tried to shop locally at the farmers' market as often as she could to support local merchants, purchase sustainable products and avoid harmful pesticide residue found in produce shipped from outside Kansas.
PESTICIDE PROBLEM
According to the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting public health and the environment, buying certain fruits and vegetables organically and locally can decrease the amount of harmful pesticides ingested.
The EWG named 12 fruits and vegetables part of the "Dirty Dozen." The EWG found during a seven-year study that people who ate produce items on the list ingested an average of 10 pesticides per day.
Nancy O'Connor, nutrition educator at the Community Mercantile, 901 N. Iowa St., said the health risks associated with consuming pesticides were too unknown to consume them on a regular basis.
She said an even bigger concern was the "cocktail effect", when multiple pesticides are mixed, creating possible negative side effects.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency works with the United States Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to ensure products sold and consumed in the U.S. are safe.
But even with government regulation, the EPA points out that pesticides are substances used to prevent, destroy, propel or mitigate living organisms, making them potentially harmful to humans.
"We were never meant to eat a diet of pesticides," O'Conner said.
REGULATION
THE COST
For some students such as Megan Do, Wichita sophomore, the price of organic food is just too high.
"Everyday I hear about the benefits of eating organic but it's 2 to 3 dollars more than regular produce," Do said. "That's a complete turn-off."
Do said she was confident that the government had inspected her food thoroughly.
Tran said although some organic produce tended to be more expensive than fruits and vegetables sold in supermarkets, she saved money

Walters said past contest winners found a military footlocker, a nitrous oxide tank and a control panel from an airplane. Volunteers can choose an area of the lake they wish to help clean, including boat docks, the lake's dam and hiking trails. Walters said many
KU students usually participated in the event; he said they felt compelled to participate in the clean-up because of how many students used the lake's facilities. "It seems like everyone who comes feels like they're doing something good for the lake and the environment." Walters said.
Volunteers can pre-register by calling (785) 843-7665 or register Saturday morning at the Clinton Lake Overlook Park Shelter #1. Walters said the event would be held rain or shine, unless the weather created dangerous conditions.

Aaron Price, Overland Park junior and member of the Hatikvah board, said the event would help bring in a variety of students to start Israel week.
"It brings students together and with Israel week it makes it campuswide and gives students something fun to do on the weekend." Price said.
Jessie Lewis, Austin, Texas, sophomore, said she was part of the group "Jews In Action," which would collect donations during the events to give to charitable organizations. Her group would have jars at the events on campus and at the concert Saturday night to collect donations. She said every dollar donated would be matched with a dollar from Jews In Action and given to the Lawrence Homeless Shelter. She said if enough donations were collected, some of the money would go to other charitable organizations such as Jubilee Café, LINK
(Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen) and the Boys and Girls Club.
"Even if you don't know much about Israel, it will be a great opportunity to learn more and meet people," Lewis said. "There are all sorts of activities that people can get involved with."
To help develop and organize the events, Rissien asked Nir Gad, an emissary for the Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City, to give suggestions, advice and help choose a band to play for the last event. Gad said he only helped with ideas, but that the students did most of the work. He said he was amazed by how passionate the students at the University were to make the events a success.
"I think it's a good cultural experience for non-Jewish students." Gad said. "Israel is a country with a lot to offer."

"Sometimes I am amazed that people don't want to spend an extra dollar on organic, but they'll buy a latte at Starbucks," O'Conner said.
She said she visited the farmers' market in previous weeks and enjoyed knowing that her food came from Kansas. She said the prices were fair when she considered the farmer's labor and that her food would stay fresh for longer.
Tran suggested only buying some produce items organically if students were concerned about their budgets not stretching enough.

TREE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Duke Charitable Foundation. Various lectures, seminars and dialogues about evolution and the environment have been occurring on campus for the last two years, but this is the first time such a multidisciplinary artistic performance will occur.
The Turtle Island String Quartet plays on stage in preparation for this weekend's performance of "Tree of Life — Origins and Evolution" at the Lied Center. They will play an eclectic mix of music styles, from bluegrass to jazz to Indian music, along with the KU Wind Ensemble in the pit.
"It was daunting and at the same time exciting to take on something so huge," said Balakrishnan, who composed the music for the performance.
Rachael Gray/KANSAN
Balakrishnan said at the beginning of the project, no one really knew what they were getting into, but through collaboration it has turned into what he called a "brilliant work."
The Turtle Island String Quartet will perform on stage, while the KU Wind Ensemble will perform in the orchestra pit.
It is unusual to involve both a string quartet and a wind ensemble in a performance influenced by multiple musical styles ranging from bluegrass to jazz to Indian music, said Scott Weiss, conductor for the KU Wind Ensemble.

"I think people underestimate the way art can respond to these issues," Shriwise said. "It's not

Matt Jacobson, associate professor of theatre and film, is creating video sequences that will be played at different times throughout the performance. The videos will show the interaction of man and nature through such images
as oil refineries and wind farms in Kansas.
"These are all things that concern us all in a way that has to do with our cultural survival, our survival as a species and our survival as a planet," Jacobson said.

Adults make their own PlayDates Throwback events catching on for those tired of regular nightlife
BY JUANITA COUSINS Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Connect Four, Hungry Hungry Hippos and Twister are the new alternatives to speed dating, nightclubs and staying home alone.
PlayDate, a monthly social event held in more than 20 cities, is catching on among adults weary of the usual nightlife. They play old-school board games, Double Dutch and hold dance-off contests in a throwback to youth. And some pick up a few phone numbers along the way.
"The idea was to get together games that are familiar and nostalgic." PlayDate pioneer Imari Harvard said. "They see things that they are accustomed to and reach back to childhood and indulge."
The game nights began in 2005 in Harvard's Atlanta living room. PlayDate has since grown from 80 friends to more than 500 strangers who regularly attend monthly events in Houston, Los Angeles, Seattle, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities.
The music isn't too loud. The lights aren't too dim. The disc jockey isn't too trendy. And PlayDate — at $10 admission — keeps amusement affordable in a recession.
Everyone wears PlayDate Signature Mood Tags that read "Hello my name is...". The name tags are used as ice breakers. Many fill in the blank with an alter ego
that prompts questions right away — aliases like "Clark Kent," "Beyonce Wanna Be" and "Gold Digger."
There are no lines and no sign-up sheets. Just grab an empty seat and play at dozens of booths and tables where the board games await.
In one corner, women stack a giant Jenga tower before it tumbles. Others bumble around a screen showing a Nintendo Wii bowling game. Out on the dance floor, a disc jockey calls out commands to others contorting themselves on Twister tarps.
As the night advances, tra-
just met. "You are in an atmosphere where you can't help it but have fun."
PlayDate targets professionals 25 to 55, singles, couples and "people who typically don't go out to party," Harvard said. It is held only once a month in most cities "to keep its novelty."
Nashville hosted the largest PlayDate debut in February with
"Playing chess makes one feel less desperate than one on a night out on the town trying to snag a husband."

some 750 players, said Eric Holt, managing partner of Lovenoise, the marketing company that helped launch PlayDate in Tennessee and Alabama.
Men have played barroom darts and billiards for centuries, but PlayDate creates an inviting atmosphere for women
because it is "not confrontational and there is very little to lose," said University of Pennsylvania sociology professor David Grazian, who studies urban nightlife.
"Playing chess makes one leer less desperate than one on a night out on the town trying to snag a husband," said Grazian, author of "On the Make: The Hustle of Urban Nightlife."
"When strangers play games, the games mediate uncomfortable silence and make personal interaction almost immediate — without need of intimacy."
Robert Jackson, 26, dealt cards
for a game of Spades with his uncle, cousin and brother and talked about his reluctance to hit the clubs.
"I feel like I am too old to what's going on in night venues," Jackson said. "I came here because it's something to do. Not to meet any women, just trying to have fun."
In 2007, Harvard and friend Ryan Hill created Timeless Entertainment Concepts to redefine American nightlife. They are managing a burgeoning operation that is testing other nightlife concepts such as an interactive paint gallery and an improv comedy theater using cell phones for audience interaction. They've also created an online social network, "Meet me at the Playground."
At PlayDate, cocktails range from $5 to $10 and some offer modestly priced chicken and finger food buffets.
First-time player Brenda Russell was eager to try PlavDate.
"My co-workers were talking about it for weeks," said Russell, who is 57, single and looking for fun. "It really inspired me to come early."
In March, she brought her 61-year-old sister, Beverly Bernett, and niece Shawn Cheatham, 31, before doors opened.
"Oh, yes. I am going to meet some men from right here playing Scattergories and having fun," Bernett said. "And they better be ready to play."

CHICAGO — Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he was willing to eat bugs for his children, but a federal judge saved him from that.
The judge refused to allow Blagjevich to travel to Costa Rica, where the Democrat had hoped to appear on reality TV show "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" The show puts contestants through outrageous competitions, such as bug eating.

Chancellor should support Senate lowering nonrevenue sports fee
Every part of the University is feeling the pressures of budget cuts.
Student Senate examined the possibility of lowering the women's and nonrevenue sports fee from $40 to $35 to help with
President-elect Mason Heilman said he was glad the fee remained
Of the current fee, $35 is under contractual obligation while $5 could be put on the chopping block. Nonrevenue sports would still be receiving the contracted amount, and other fees that have a more direct benefit to a larger mass of students would be prevented from suffering cuts.

OPINION

"We're going to have to work with the new chancellor on fees and see where he or she is comfortable cutting." Heilman said.
Helman also said he would be reluctant to cut a fee voted on by students. The fee increased funding for women's and nonrevenue sports when it was passed by students in 2006, therefore making it a student-voted fee.
ine the budget to see about this fee's potential to be cut.
It's important to take into account that this fee would simply be decreased, while other fees that benefit students have been under the threat of being cut completely.
Heilman said that the cut would probably amount to a significant amount of money being lost but that perhaps the athletics department could cover additional costs until the budget allowed the increase again.
Mike Thompson, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said he supported the idea to decrease the fee. Thompson said that everyone was feeling the pressures of the current state of the economy and that as long as the programs still received funding, he was sure they could make do with a reduced amount
A $15 reduction would help the budget Student Senate is wrestling with and help spare other student benefits from being completely cut. New leadership shouldn't be quite so reluctant to allow Student Senate to pass this reduction.

Nightlife differences across the big drink
German students drink younger, more responsibly than in US

Forget competitive drinking games such as beerpong, flip cup and circle of death. House parties as we know them in the states are nonexistent in Germany. Most dorms are equipped with a small basement bar. Surprisingly cheap 0.5-liter glass bottles replace kegs — sorry, no keg stands — and Foosball takes the place of beer pong at every party.

While there remain ongoing debates in Germany concerning the young drinking age, and it is impossible to claim that all Germans are responsible drinkers, the difference between the drinking cultures in America and Germany is clear.
The competitive and excessive drinking customs prevalent across American college campuses are a ways away from what I've experienced in Germany.
Don't believe me? Just ask a German whether they know how to shotgun a beer.

In Spain, parties last long and late but stay out of the home
BY HELEN MUBARAK
hmubarak@kansan.com
When I think of nightlife in Lawrence,my mind wanders to house parties after football or basketball games. Inviting friends to hang out at one's house or apartment is certainly not unusual.
In contrast, Spaniards consider the home a private place. My Spanish roommates have never invited more than one friend to our apartment at the same time
Coming from Lawrence, where I still cannot drink alcohol legally or enter many clubs, nightlife in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, was a major change for me.
For students in Santiago, a typical night out begins at midnight or later. They usually stop at numerous bars in the same night, having a drink at each one. Afterwards, they head to the "discocetas" or clubs, which don't open until 2 a.m and don't see crowds until 3 or 4. A night
and would never dream of throwing a party. Instead, they hang out with friends in public areas such as cafes or restaurants, and, of course, bars and clubs.
Yet, the most surprising aspect about nightlife in Spain is the difference in timing. Nighttime in Spain doesn't begin until after dinner, which takes places around 10 or 11 and can last more than an hour.
out might end the next morning around 7 with a hot sandwich from one of the city's 24-hour convenience stores.
As the sun rises over the cobblestones, still-lively students make their way back to their apartments holding high heels or half-empty bottles of the region's famous beer, Estrella de Galicia. From an American perspective, it's certainly entertaining to watch dozens of other people parading through the city's ancient streets at the same time I might have been waking up to go to class in Lawrence.

STUDENT LIFE
Facebook and GPA staying connected
Every day we deal with the regular turmoil of student life. Classes, tests, homework, library and meetings — and that's if you don't also have a job or participate in extracurricular activities. Yet despite our busy schedules, most of us find a moment in the day to browse the social networking site that has become a phenomenon in just a few short years. But a new study suggests that Facebook may be causing more harm than we think.
According to USA Today, an Ohio State study of 219 students exposed Facebook's effects on academic performance. Students who did not have Facebook accounts reported having GPAs between 3.5 and 4.0, while those with accounts said their GPAs were usually between 3.0 and 3.5. Study habits among those without Facebook were also significantly better, a reported 11 or more hours per week, compared with those with Facebook, who studied five or fewer hours.
So what exactly does all this mean? Is Facebook dooming students? Well, not exactly. The study didn't find conclusive evidence that Facebook is the cause for lower GPAs. Rather, it simply suggests that there is some correlation between the two. Aryn Karpinski, the Ohio State doctoral graduate student behind the study, suggested Facebook be used in ways that are more educational, such as to create study groups.
Karpinski pointed out Facebook's potential as an asset to students. I can't count how many times I've used Facebook to consult classmates about courses. Once, last year, I used the site to find a classmate in

my Shakespeare class. I didn't know a single soul in that particular course, and remembered the girl's name solely because it was called before mine in class for attendance. Luckily, she messaged me back about a change in due date for a research paper and consequently saved me from losing 15 percent of my grade. Thank you, Facebook.
I'm not arguing that Facebook is more academically beneficial than detrimental, but I definitely think the ability to contact acquaintances and friends easily is great. What a wonderful option to have! Can you imagine the "old days" of having to call someone, who called someone, who tried to three-way call but it didn't work, then finally figuring out plans and calling whomever is involved all over again?
I'm sure there are many Facebook-abusers whose obsessions with recently tagged photos or status updates result in poorer grades. I believe there are an equal number, if not more, of students who manage to balance fun on Facebook with devotion to academics. Of all the other issues wreaking havoc on our age group, such as drugs or violence, I think Facebook is the least of our worries.

University could lead effort to save wetlands
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Regardless of how the federal lawsuit turns out, the future of the Wakarusa (aka Haskell-Baker) Wetlands may ultimately rest in KU's hands. Most people presume Baker University holds all the cards, or if anyone else has any say it is Haskell Indian Nations University. The ultimate fate of this wetland, however, may rest in our University's hands.
Back in the 1950s the Eisenhower administration was attempting to shut down all the Indian boarding schools. Haskell, because it had been the largest and most tribally diverse of all these federal institutions, managed to lobby against closure.
Locals, however, were miffed at losing the opportunity to receive free land. The Kansas congressional delegation brought pressure on the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Before it was over, about two-thirds of Haskell's land was declared "surplus" and given away. The school district got land for Broken Arrow Elementary and
South Junior High. The city and county got Broken Arrow Park. The University got 20 acres.
That small parcel of wetland sits strategically in the path of the "32nd Street route" for the South Lawrence Trafficway. Without the University's collision KDOT can not complete this trafficway plan, even if the federal courts rule in its favor.
State officials claim the University will be no obstacle, and if they did resist, eminent domain would quickly resolve the issue. But the University has never really used that land. Under the threat of having it buried in concrete, the ethical choice would be to return those 20 acres to Haskell. As federal property it would be near impossible for KDOT to pave the wetland. At minimum, the project would be tied up in court until long after Lawrence has grown halfway to Baldwin. By then even the most myopic SLT promoters will have to acknowledge the wetlands is a dumb place to build a bypass.

ENVIRONMENT
Senior finds Earth Day just one of 365 to live green
BY AMANDA THOMPSON
athompson@kansan.com
This week's events and activities celebrating Earth Day encouraged students to focus on Mother Earth. But Sara Thompson, Salina senior, lives a sustainable lifestyle every week of the year.
Her conservation efforts extend to mealtime, too.
Thompson tries to minimize her impact on the environment in her daily activities. In school, she studies civil environmental engineering and environmental studies. On campus, she can be seen wearing vintage clothes with a stainless steel water bottle in tow. To get around town she walks, takes the bus, rides one of her two bikes or, when she has to, she drives.
"Even when she does drive she has a hybrid, which is handy," said Anna Hoard, Topeka senior and a friend of Thompson's.
Thompson is a vegan, which means she doesn't eat any animal products of any kind. That means
no meat, eggs, cheese, milk or any other animal by-product in her canvas grocery bags. Thompson said she chose a vegan diet because she thought it meant she used fewer resources.
"It cuts down on a lot of the resources used to produce our food," Thompson said. "It takes a phenomenal amount of water and grain to just grow the crop to feed the animals that we would be eating."
Cooking vegan hasn't limited the quality of her meals.
Hoard said Thompson was an excellent cook and spent a lot of time maintaining her vegan diet.
"She makes almost all of her food from scratch, which saves a lot of energy and packaging." Hoard said.
Thompson said that though it was important for her to recycle all that she could, she said reusing materials so that new things didn't need to be produced was equally important.
"People in the U.S. consume so much when we don't really need to, so I feel like that's really not
equitable at all in terms of a global scale". Thompson said.
Thompson also doesn't buy chemical cleaning products, but instead cleans with vinegar, baking soda and hot water.
Thompson'sfriend Sara Shannon. Ottawa senior, said Thompson was good about cutting down her use of materials.
"Living green isn't just about buying certain products. It's about cutting down your consumption," Shannon said. "It's something that you're not doing just for yourself when you're doing it. I think it's living by example."
Thompson said she didn't try to impose her lifestyle on other people, but that she does support education about sustainable living issues.
"We only have one earth and one environment, and I think everyone should make an effort to preserve it," Thompson said.

NATIONAL South Carolina wildfire blazes across four miles
NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — South Carolina's biggest wildfire in more than three decades — a blaze four miles wide — destroyed dozens of homes Thursday and threatened some of the area's world-famous golf courses at the height of the spring tourist season.
The flames, fed by tinder-dry scrubland, forced hundreds of people to flee.
The blaze scorched about 23 square miles over the past two days and then veered north, heading away from the high-rise hotels that line Myrtle Beach. There were no reports of injuries, and authorities said they had not determined what sparked the flames.

Missouri factory defends its environmental record
BY MARGARET STAFFORD
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A company whose factory in northwest Missouri gave farmers fertilizer that critics said contained a cancer-causing chemical disputed the claims Thursday and defended its environmental record.
Prime Tanning Corp., of Hartland, Maine, issued a statement in response to a lawsuit filed Wednesday accusing it of knowingly distributing sludge containing hexavalent chromium as free fertilizer to farmers in four counties. The metal, also known as chromium 6, is a known carcinogen.
The company's St. Joseph
plant was purchased this year by National Beef Leathers, a subsidiary of Kansas City-based National Beef Packing Co. that also was named in the lawsuit. On Thursday, National Beef Leathers said it would stop distributing the sludge while it conducts its own investigation.
Environmental activist Erin Brockovich told a crowd in Cameron on Wednesday night that hexavalent chromium may be linked to what some area residents believe is a high number of brain tumors in the region.
State and federal agencies have tested several areas in and around Cameron in the last year in response to concerns about brain tumors, but not for chromium 6.
The lawsuit and Brockovich's meeting were the first time hexavalent chromium in fertilizer had been publicly identified as a possible cause.
"Based on our preliminary investigation, we believe there is no basis for the claims made in the litigation," said Grover Elliott, vice president and chief financial officer of Prime Tanning Co. "We look forward to cooperating fully with state and federal agencies in their review and investigation."
The lawsuit, filed by two northwest Missouri residents, accuses Prime Tanning of not telling the state that the sludge left over from tanning processes at the plant contained hexavalent chromium. Prime Tanning's statement does
not address that allegation, and the company said it would answer no other questions.
More tests will be conducted to determine how widespread the use of the fertilizer was, but an environmental investigator at Wednesday's meeting said it has been distributed since 1983 primarily in Andrew, Buchanan, DeKalb and Clinton counties.
National Beef Leathers said the due diligence it conducted before buying the Prime Tanning plant did not uncover any irregularities with the application of the sludge.
Elliott said in a statement that application of the sludge "is an environmentally responsible practice that is done in accordance with all Missouri laws and regulations."

Henry brothers finally commit to Kansas
Oklahoma City high school star Xavier Hawkeye laughs during a news conference in Oklahoma City on Thursday. Henry, who announced that he has committed to play basketball for Kansas, is considered the third-best shooting guard prospect in the country by Rivals.com.

WARR ACRES, OKLA. — For the first two minutes, Xavier Henry said nothing.
Henry, the No. 8 recruit in the country according to Rivals.com, entered the gymnasium at Putnam City High School to make his college announcement and there was silence. Xavier refused to start the press conference until he could get his older brother, C.J. Henry, on the phone.
Xavier wanted C.I., who's currently finishing spring classes at Memphis, to be a part of the announcement that the brothers would attend Kansas next season.
"Me and my brother, there's no separating us. I do anything for
my brother," Xavier said. "That's why I was going to go to college with him even if I wasn't as much into it as Kansas."
Six months ago in this same gym, Xavier picked Memphis over Kansas.
It shocked some. Putnam City basketball coach A.D. Burtschi had predicted Xavier would commit to Kansas. Even Xavier's parents — former Kansas basketball players Carl and Barbara Henry — knew he preferred Kansas.
"Xavier's heart was with Kansas when he chose Memphis." Barbara Henry, Xavier and C.I.'s mother, said. "It was just the brother — he wanted the opportunity to play with his brother for once in his life."
Now, Xavier will have the chance
to fulfill both of his dreams playing with his brother and playing at Kansas. And he can do it right away.
The NCAA has cleared C.J. Henry, who walked on at Memphis last year after spending three years in minor league baseball, to play immediately next season without sitting out. It's all come full circle for C.J., who committed to Kansas out of high school in 2005 before being drafted by the New York Yankees in the MLB Entry Draft.
"It's going to be a great experience," C.J. said. "It's going to be fun."

GOLFING GLOBETROTTERS
Gaining ground every round
Bal, Thiry came from across the world to pursue LPGA goals
BY HALLIE MANN
hmann@kansan.com
Two of Kansas' women's golfers, sophomores Meghna Bal and Grace Thiry, have come from exotic lands to this small, northeast corner of Kansas to pursue their dreams. Bal came to Kansas from New Delhi, India, and Thiry came from Melbourne, Australia, both to play golf. Even though they started in different places, they're trying to get to the same destination: the LPGA.
Their golf clubs are on the ground. They are posing for a picture with the golf flag in front of them.
Both athletes started playing golf long before they got to college. Bal said her dad forced her to start playing and training when she was 13 years old. After Bal spent two months training with a private coach in South Africa, she really opened up to the idea of playing golf.
"I really hated it when I started it," Bal said. "My dad was really desperate for me to play and I eventually warmed up to it."
Thiry started playing when she was 10 years old and her dad was also the one that got her started. Thiry said her parents had her and her sister train and play in tournments and realized their potential.
"We just started playing proper rounds and kept getting bigger and better as time went on." Thiry said
But getting from India and Australia to the United States was a very different process for both athletes. Bal had come to the United States for her junior and senior years of high school. Bal attended a boarding school that specialized in golf and tennis in Florida and was scouted by Kansas then.
"Going to college in America wasn't even a thought for me and my parents," Bal said. "All of these

Team steps up when Afenir, Thompson fall short
BASEBALL
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
It's something the Jayhawks haven't done well all season. If sophomore third baseman Tony Thompson and senior catcher Buck Afenir don't produce, the Jayhawks lose. Simple as that — most of the time.
That theory was put to the test Wednesday night against
Missouri. Under the bright lights of Kauffman Stadium, Thompson and Afenir combined to go 1-for-7 with one RBI. That lone RBI came off Afenir's first-inning double. It's something coach Ritch Price liked, not the fact that Thompson and Afenir struggled, but that their teammates bailed them out.
"We won tonight without any help from Afenir and Thompson and that hasn't happened in a
Thompson and Afenir, who hit fourth and fifth in the lineup, have combined for 92 of the layhawks 266 RBIs, 35 percent of the team's total RBIs. It's a four-five combina-
while," Price said. "The only way we're going to be a really good club is if we're solid all the way through our lineup."

Recruiting is a circus and Xavier is the lion
BY KELLY BRECKUNITC
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kbreckunitch@kansan.com
just outside Oklahoma City. I couldn't help wondering why I drove through the night to get to this city. It's all part of the wild and crazy ride that the Xavier Henry recruiting process has become. In all reality, the Henry family has turned a simple process into its own personal three-ring circus.
On Thursday morning I found myself in a high school gymnasium
It seemed so simple at first. Henry had narrowed his choice to Kansas or Memphis. He chose Memphis and Kansas fans moved on. Things got interesting when coach John Caliparit left Memphis for Kentucky. It looked like Henry and his brother would leave and come to Kansas, but then they announced they would take a visit to Kentucky. Then they called it off and set a press conference for Thursday morning. This is what brought me to Oklahoma City.
Bill Self is the P.T. Barnum of this operation. He sets up the game plan and orchestrates everything like a master. He's really handled this recruiting situation very nicely. Landing Xavier Henry is a big deal and will complete Kansas' squad for next year.
There was entirely too much speculation before the conference even started. People were claiming Carl Henry, Xavier's father, had told them the pair would be heading to Kansas. Rumors were swirling, but a decision had to be made Thursday morning.
All the parts are coming together nicely. Henry will join a top-notch recruiting class including Thomas Robinson and Elijah Johnson. The team also retains a lot of talent. Pundits are already talking about the Jayhawks as a preseason favorite to win the national championship next year. The Xavier Henry circus coming to town only helps their chances. Next year, in all reality, Kansas basketball could turn into the greatest show on Earth.
With the announcement that Henry is coming to Kansas, it's safe to say next year's squad could be a circus of its own. Henry is the lion; everyone is watching to see how ferocious he can be on the court.
No, it doesn't stop there. The Morris twins are the clowns, the jokers of the team. Tyshawn Taylor is the motorcyclist in the cage. He makes everyone nervous. He caused too many turnovers last season, but when he's on, he's on, which makes him exciting despite his flaws.
The two ringleaders of this team are Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins. The fact that they are both coming back gives the team two players who can run the show, though Sherron obviously takes on more of that role.

Former Hawks make NBA exciting
COMMENTARY
Let me first admit that I do not get excited for the NBA playoffs on a regular basis. I prefer college basketball because something about it is just more exciting. This year, though, Kansas fans like me have a legitimate reason to be giddy for the NBA playoffs. The playoff teams' rosters are littered with former Kansas standouts.
Yes, a lot of them are role players, but that doesn't matter when you're talking about the possibility of a championship ring.
Let's start by analyzing some of the older Jayhawks' chances at a title.
Associated Press
Raaf LaFrentz has been injured the entire season, but he is still on Portland's roster. His NBA career has been underwhelming, and most likely, that how you'll be able to describe Portland's run in the plavoffs.
Jacque Vaughn has a much better chance to win a title than his former teammate. Vaughn is merely a role player on San Antonio's bench, but he has shown he can contribute. Vaughn is also playing with another former Jayhawk, Drew Gooden. Gooden provides solid bench production for the Spurs who direly need it because they're
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kbreckunitch@kanan.com
without Manu Ginobili for the playoffs. The Spurs could give the Lakers a run for their money in the Western Conference finals.
Kirk Hinrich has had to make room for a bevy of guards on Chicago's roster, so he's not as prominent a player as he was the past two years. Nonetheless, the Bulls made it to the playoffs, and Hinrich can get hot at certain times. Unfortunately (or fortunately, with all the injuries), the Bulls drew the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. They've already taken one game, but Boston will, most likely, win a close series, leaving the Bulls out of the championship hunt.
Julian Wright sees a little less floor time than Gooden and Hinrich, but he gets to play with one of the best players in the league, New Orleans guard Chris Paul. But Paul is a lonely centerpiece on that team, and doesn't
get too much help. The Hornets have little chance of winning the championship, but I predict that in a couple years Wright will be a relevant bench player and possibly even a starter with another chance to win a title.
No, I didn't forget about Paul Pierce. He's trying to defend his NBA championship with the Boston Celtics and he is the most relevant Jayhawk in the NBA, but he still has to go through Cleveland to make the finals. That just won't happen with all the injuries the Celtics have had to deal with.
Now we left with two rookies from last year's national championship team. Both Mario Chalmers and Darnell Jackson have a chance to follow up an NCAA title with an NBA title, a very rare occurrence. Chalmers actually earned a starting role at point guard for Miami this season and performed admirably. He even set the franchise record for steals in a game earlier this season. Miami won't make it to the conference finals though, so that leaves Jackson. He plays very sparingly for the Cavaliers, but he is on the roster of the best squad in the Eastern Conference.
THE MORNING BREW
Finals. Lebron can do everything and will do everything to bring a championship to Cleveland. So, that's my pick, and yet again, a Jayhawk will be an NBA champion. So, you may not care about the NBA, but a Jayhawk on the championship team should be reason enough to get a little excited.
The Lakers and Cavaliers are almost shoo-ins for the NBA

Two Missouri alumni attend invitational camp
COLUMBIA, Mo. — With their college careers behind them, Missouri standouts DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons believe they've made a strong showing to NBA evaluators.
Both players accepted postseason invitations to the Portsmouth Invitational Camp, which featured some of the nation's top seniors divided into teams in a tournament.
Carroll averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds in three games and was named the tournament MVP as his team finished third. Lyons averaged nearly 14 points and seven rebounds in the tourney.
Both players considered entering the draft last year but decided to return for their senior seasons. It was a good move. Their showing during the Tigers' surprise run to the Elite Eight almost certainly elevated both players' standing with NBA scouts.

Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noises and the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handled these things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college. I had heard about Don's Auto from some friends and through the Kansan, so I decided to give them a call. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super understanding.
What impressed me most, was that they offered to my dad and consult with him every stop of the way. Now, I always take my car to Don!

aspirations of the LPGA and college came really late in high school."
Thiry realized early on that she would have to come to the U.S. to keep playing golf. Thiry said there wasn't really an opportunity to attend school and play golf in Australia and decided to start e-mailing coaches in the U.S. about playing.
Bal and Thiry have full-ride golf scholarships to Kansas and are working on degrees in sports management. Even though they now say their dreams are to stay in the U.S. and continue with golf, Bal and Thiry said that Kansas took some time to get used to.
"Kansas was kind of a random pick for me," Thiry said. "I didn't know much about America and the first time I came here was when I came to KU."
Both athletes said the weather was one of the hardest things to adjust to. Bal said that it only gets as cold as 45 degrees in India and that the cold here is really hard to
deal with. Thiry said that she was glad that Kansas actually had real seasons and the campus was pretty in the different seasons.
"It's the best and worst thing about coming to Kansas," Thiry said. "It's so pretty but I can't stand the cold."
While they are both adjusting to life in Kansas they each miss things about home too. Bal said she missed the food in India "desperately." There are a few restaurants downtown that have good Indian food, she said, but she also said she wished she knew how to cook better so she could make Indian food herself.
"It's kind of sad when we go to the same restaurants so much that the waiters know what we want as soon as we get there," Bal said.
Thiry grew up on the coast in Australia and has had to adjust to living in a landlocked state. Thiry said she grew up in a big city and that the beach was about five minutes from her house.
"I really like Lawrence but it's just so different for me," Thiry said.
Coach Erin O'Neil said that Bal and Thiry have done a good job of adjusting to life in college and being away from home.
"They both grown up really quickly since they've been here," O'Neil said.
After they settled into Kansas Bal and Thiry got down to business with golf. With two years left to play, both athletes think they have what it takes to make it to the pros. Both players want their experience at Kansas to give them the final edge they need to make it to the LPGA.
O'Neil said the two have made a huge impact on the team the past two seasons. O'Neil said that they both travel a lot for the team and are very hard working during practice.

"College is a good way to prepare them for going pro." O'Neil said. "They both have the ability
Bal said that she hoped to keep improving her game while she was at Kansas. Bal said that the coaching staff has been really integral in helping her improve her game and preparing for tournaments.
Thiry said she thought that her game had improved a lot since she came to Kansas. She said that the courses here are longer and that she has learned to play more consistently since she been on the team. Thiry said that being on the team has taught her not to try random, risky shots because it could affect the whole team.
"At the end the scores come together and it affects everyone," Thiry said. "It's not just about me."
"The team is always getting better and I'm glad I have the opportunity to play here," Bal said.

COLLEGE BASEBALL Wichita State loses 8-1 to rivals Oklahoma
NORMAN, Okla. — Casey Johnson had two hits, including a three-run home run, and seven Oklahoma pitchers combined to limit Wichita State to four hits as the Sooners won 8-1 on Wednesday night.
Oklahoma (30-11) has won 11 of its 12 midweek games this season, while perennial power Wichita State (20-20) has lost eight straight games. The Shockers also managed only four hits in a loss to Oklahoma State on Tuesday.
Oklahoma outscored Wichita State 23-1 in the two games this season between the regional rivals.
Johnson's homer came during a four-run second inning that put the Sooners ahead 4-0. That was more than enough for Oklahoma's pitching staff.

whose decision to leave Memphis reopened the Henrys' recruitment. That was nearly a month ago.
Since then, the Henrys have gone through what Barbara called a "very stressful" process of trying to decide between Kansas and Kentucky, Both Calipari and Kansas coach Bill Self tried to sway Xavier and C.J. toward their schools.
But when it came down to it, Xavier could not imagine passing up the chance to play for the team he grew up watching. Xavier and C.J. picked Kansas Tuesday during a phone conversation. Afterward, Xavier called Self and told him the news.
"He asked me something like,
'Are you positively sure this is
where you are coming?' Xavier
said.
Sure he wanted to play at Allen Fieldhouse, where he has attended Late Night in the Phog since he was a child. Sure he wanted
Yes, Xavier assured Self with a laugh. After one of the longest and most up-and-down recruitments of Self's tenure at Kansas, Henry was sure.
to carry on his parents' legacy. Sure he wanted to join Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich to form a nucleus that will make Kansas the favorite to win the 2010 national championship.
"They say they were going to be close to preseason No. 1 next year without me," Xavier said. "Now they say with me, we're preseason No. 1 for sure. I just want to play on the best team next year and have a chance to win the national championship."
Friday night, Xavier will attend prom at Putnam City High. He said he was looking forward to "chilling" for the last month of high school before he headed to Lawrence for the summer.
The Henrys have made no definitive plans for when they will arrive on campus. But Xavier said he would wait until C.J. came home to make the move. They'll arrive in Kansas together.
"I've always dreamed of going to Kansas," Xavier said. "I've always wanted to, but I took a step back for my brother at Memphis."

basketball notes
Kansas coach Bill Self held a teleconference Thursday afternoon to discuss the signing of Xavier Henry.
He confirmed what has long been believed: Xavier Henry is the highest touted recruit of his tenure at Kansas.
"I don't think we've ever recruited a player ranked so high across the board throughout his whole high school career," Self said. "I think he'll rank up there with the very best."
Self said he wasn't concerned about his three stars — Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Henry — sharing the ball next season. He cited the 2008 national championship team as evidence that great players can coexist.
"He can do a lot of things that we couldn't do any of last season," Self said.
Self marveled at how Xavier fills the only hole the Jayhawks had last season
— a strong wing presence. At 6-foot-6 and 210 pounds, Henry certainly fits that description.
When it comes to Xavier Henry, everyone knows what to expect — an elite prospect with ideal speed, size and shooting ability.
C.J.'S GAME
But what about C.J.? Out
of high school, C.J. was a three-star recruit with a sweet shooting touch. Now, he hasn't played in an official basketball game in nearly five years.
"He's an explosive scorer — just like me," Xavier said. "He's a little shorter, a little stronger and just as quick. He's a real good player."

the brothers' mother, said it would be fully healed before Kansas started the 2009- 2010 season.
"I believe it was at about 85 percent right now and that's the only issue with him," Barbara said.
It's also the number their father, Carl, wore. So who will get the number as a Jayhawk? Xavier said he thought C.J. would take No. 13. Xavier wants to be No. 1.
Both Xavier and C.J. wore jersey No. 13 at Putnam City High School.

To win without Buck Afenir and Tony Thompson collecting multiple RBIs for the Jayhawks
on Wednesday was huge, but don't expect that to last much longer. Thompson's biggest critic is himself and after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.

Thompson has probably put in the extra time in workouts and batting practice to make sure that doesn't happen this weekend.

It was easy to tell the Jayhawks had fun Wednesday night. The dugout was rocking and a victory over your archival does nothing but boost the confidence. Now the Jayhawks return home where they are an incredible 19-2. With good weather forecasted in Lawrence this weekend, Kansas has no worries heading into the weekend series.

tion that had put the Jayhawks on their back throughout the season until Wednesday night's game. The dynamic duo has also combined for 17 of Kansas' 31 home runs, well more than half.
But Price doesn't want to discount the rest of his team. Price said Wednesday showed that winning without the contribution of Thompson and Afenir proved the talent level of this year's team.
"I think it shows that we got good players," Price said. "We've got really good players at the top of the lineup. The first three guys are really special, and now we're starting to get some contribution from the bottom end of the lineup."
Afenir said it was a great feeling to have teammates pick up the slack when his game wasn't at its best. In the bottom of the third, with the Jayhawks clinging to a 1-0 lead, Afenir was up to the plate with the bases loaded and one out. Afenir made an awkward swing and grounded into a double play to end the inning.
After that plate performance, watching players like senior first baseman Preston Land come up with big hits gave Afenir some relief and excitement.
"It was kind of a frustrating day for me and Tony," Afenir said. "But it's good to see other guys come through and clutch up."
Kansas (27-14, 8-7) will need to see complete production heading into this weekend's series against Nebraska (18-21-1, 4-14) starting tonight at 6 p.m. It's been a down year for the Cornhuskers, traditionally a dominant program, now last in the Big 12.
Price has seen enough of Nebraska in the past to know to not count them dead in the water yet.
"Those guys aren't going to quit." Price said. "I guarantee with what's happening up there right now their coaches are frustrated and their players are frustrated and their looking for a way to redeem themselves and we just got to make sure it doesn't happen this weekend."
And if Kansas can continue to win games when their key players aren't at their best, Afenir said to watch out for the Jayhawks coming down the stretch.
"You know if we get the bottom of the order going and getting those RBIs then were going to be pretty dangerous, one through nine," Afenir said.

It's hard to win when you don't hit. It's even harder when you don't make plays defensively. When you don't do both, it's near impossible.
The Jayhawks came away from Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Drake Bulldogs with twice as many errors, four, as they had hits, two. The Jayhawks committed all of them in the first two innings, costing Kansas four runs.
"We set a poor tone defensively at the beginning," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We put ourselves in a huge hole."
The errors didn't do starting pitcher Valerie George any favors either. Stranded in the circle, the senior hurler gave up one run on four hits through the first two frames.
The Bulldogs scored right out of the gate, capitalizing on a lead-off double by Elena Leon in the top of the first inning. Not wasting any time to add some insurance, Drake's Rose Magaddino hit a two-run blast over the left field wall with one out in the second; it was her first extra base hit on the season. Drake would add on an additional run before the end of the inning, bringing the score to 5-0.
"Having defensive lapses early really hurt our confidence," McCaulley said. "At this point in the season we've got to figure out a way to work through it."
Kansas dropped to 17-27 overall with the loss to Drake. This weekend the lajahaws return to conference play, hosting Baylor for a two-game series. The two games against Baylor mark the last two games that will be played in Arrocha Ballpark for the 2009 season.
The layhawks added a run of their own in the sixth inning when senior third baseman Val Chapple hit a towering home run to lead off the inning, the team's second hit of the ball game and only run. The first hit came off of the bat of right fielder Allie Clark in the second inning.
George, as well as the defense, battled back and held Drake to four consecutive scoreless innings thereafter. Senior outfielder Dougie McCaulley stymied a potential rally for the Buildogs in the third. McCaulley robbed a hit from Drake third basemen Carrie Hatfield, fully extending for a lay-out catch in shallow center field.
Strong performances from Bulldog pitchers Brynne Dordel
and Jenna DeLonge thwarted the Kansas offense.
"Their pitchers did a good job of mixing speeds, which throws you off balance. It was easy to get defensive up there." McCaulley said.
The Jayhawks also struggled with a recurring problem Thursday evening, a lack of confidence. The early defensive struggles seemed to take the strut out of the Jayhawks' step.

Jayhawks head to meets across the country
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
KANSAS RELAYS KANSAS
Ryan McGeeney/KANSAN
Coach Stanley Redwine competed at a lot of places across the country during his collegiate track career in the early 80s. One of the places he remembers best was the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.
Freshman hurdler Keith Hays races through a heat of the men's 110-meter hurdles Saturday during the KU Relays. Hayes will be competing in the 4x400 relay and the 110-meter hurdles this weekend at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.
Redwine competed and won in the distance medley event and has one of the watches to prove it.
"I've been at Penn, I've raced at Penn and had a great experience there," Redwine said. "We definitely want to thank Lew [Perkins] for the opportunity to allow some of the team to go out there and get the same experience I got when I was there."
"Everyone needs to compete and we didn't want the weekend off for our athletes," bedwine said.
Just one week after competing at home in the Kansas Relays, the Kansas track and field team will be all over the country this weekend. While some members of the team participate in the Penn Relays, others are heading to the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. Still others are attending the Nebraska Open in Lincoln, Neb.
For the Penn Relays, Kansas will send its relay teams to compete in the 4x400 along with some of its sprinters for the hurdles events. The men's 4x400 relay team will be made up of senior Jarrell Rollins, junior Reggie Carter, sophomore Keron Toussaint and freshman Keith Hayes.
THIS WEEKEND
Penn Relays in Philadelphia
Nebraska Open in Lincoln, Neb.
Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa
Hayes will also compete in the 110-meter hurdles event with fellow freshman Keyen Porter.
"it's like the New York edition of outdoor," Hayes said about the Penn Relays. "It's kind of like the New Balance meet but the outdoor version."
Last weekend, both the men's and women's relay teams lost in close battles where the winner was determined in the final leg of each race.
Toussaint said the main goal at Penn was qualifying for regionals.
"Coach is not going to take us if he don't think we can regionally qualify," Toussaint said. "Any team that gone to Penn ends up running fast."
That same goal is echoed with the women's relay team, made up of freshman Shayla Wilson and seniors Sha'Ray Butler, Charity Stowers and Nickesha Anderson. Anderson will also compete individually in the 100-meter dash.
Butler regionally qualified at Penn her sophomore year and said
"I think we definitely have a chance especially since we just have relays to focus on besides Nickesha with her individual event," Butter said. "But most of us we'll be pretty fresh to try and qualify for regionals."
Meanwhile, the rest of the team will head off to the Nebraska Open and the Drake Relays.
"I'm excited to run better than I have been running the past week so that's all I'm going into this
Dorsey said her main objective in the 100-meter dash this weekend will be getting out faster.
weekend with" said junior sprinter Aubree Dorsey, who will be traveling to Nebraska.
Sophomore distance runner Clay Schneider will also head to Nebraska and is looking to get a personal best in the 800-meter run, an event that he's been trying to get adjusted to each meet.
"Last time didn't go so well, so of course this as any other week. I'm going out to race." Schneider said.
The Nebraska Open was something that Redwine believes is an opportunity for those Jayhawks that had not yet qualified for regionals to do so as well as competing too.
"We like to give all of our athletes the opportunity to compete and that was a solution to people having an opportunity to compete," Redwine said.

The Kansas Jayhawks fell to the Missouri Tigers 4-1 Thursday afternoon in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Championships in Norman, Okla., ending their season with a 10-13 overall record and 4-8 conference record.
The Tigers move on to the second round to compete against the No. 1 seed defending Big 12 champion Baylor. Baylor is 11-0 in conference play this season.
NFL
Senior Jayhawk Edina Horvath shined in both the singles and doubles round. She and her partner, freshman Kate Morozova, were the only KU doubles pair to win; defeating Missouri's Jamie Mera and Mallory Weber 8-2 extended their win streak to five matches.
After Kansas lost the doubles point, Horvath ended up being the only Jayhawk to win her singles match. It was her and senior Yullana Swistun's final match of their NCAA careers.
"I had an amazing time at KU, I loved every moment of it." Horvath said. "I feel like I have great coaches and teammates. I am going to miss them so much. I wish I could stay and play many more years here."
Coach Amy Hall-Holt said she was proud of her young team's performance against the Tigers.
"Missouri's a good team and they won it out," Hall-Holt said. "We put it out there and it was a hard-fought match, but Missouri pulled it out at the end."
Chiefs trade Gonzalez to Falcons
Justin Hilley
BY CHARLES ODUM
Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons boosted their hopes for another trip to the playoffs by acquiring tight end Tony Gonzalez from the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday for a draft pick next year.
The Chiefs insisted they also improved their chances for success in 2009 by making the trade.
The Falsons will send a second round pick in 2010 to Kansas City in exchange for Gonzalez, the only tight end in NFL history selected to 10 Pro Bowls.
Gonzalez caught 96 passes for 1,058 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2008. He owns NFL career records for tight ends with 916 receptions, 10,940 yards receiving, 76 TDs receiving and 26 100-yard receiving games.
"It's somewhat bittersweet."
Gonzalez told FoxSports.com.
"I love Kansas City. I grew up in Kansas City. The city means a lot to me. I got there when I turned 21. It will be sad to leave a city I love. But I'm looking forward to making a Super Bowl run in Atlanta every year for the next three or four years."
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli said it wasn't easy to trade the star, who played in 188 regular-season games for Kansas City.
"From an organizational as well as personal standpoint there are mixed emotions," Pioli said. "I have the highest personal and professional respect for Tony and consider him to be a future Pro Football Hall of Famer."
Pioli said the Chiefs, 2-14 in 2008, did not pursue a trade for Gonzalez, but agreed when the Falcons offered a second-round pick.
"This is something we really feel was a decision in the best short-term and long-term interest of the
Chiefs," Pioli said, adding the 2010 draft pick could be used in another deal to acquire more picks in this weekend's draft.
"It may be that pick next year or it may be a pick this year or several picks." Pioli said.
Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt called Gonzalez "one of the finest players in Chiefs history."
Gonzalez will provide a dramatic new look for the Falcons, who were 11-5 last year with rookie quarterback Matt Ryan starting every game.
"Tony's arrival will make an instant impact not only on the offensive side of the ball, but on the overall team in general," said Ryan, the NFL. Offensive Rookie of the Year. "I feel privileged to be throwing the ball to a future Hall of Famer and I'm anxious to get on the field to start working with him."
Ryan has a new target and the Falcons have a new leader, but what about newly acquired Chiefs
quarterback Matt Cassel? Pioli said there's still plenty of time to bolster the Chiefs' offense before the season.
"There's a lot of time between now and then for us to continue to shape our roster," Pioil said.
When asked how he would replace Gonzalez, new Chiefs coach Todd Haley said, "I don't know I have a direct answer for that right now.
"This is what we felt was best for us right now all things considered." Haley added. "We're doing everything we can to give ourselves the best chance to win games in 2009 and that's what we as a group felt was the best way to go."
The 33-year-old Gonzalez, who has three years remaining on his contract, asked to be traded last October. But then-general manager Carl Peterson said no team Gonzalez was willing to go to made a good enough offer.

As of 5 p.m., more than 400 people had bought tickets for last night's Reflection Eternal show at the Granada. Jake Hiersteiner, Granada marketing director, said he expected even more of the tickets to go before the end of the night, just another sign that Lawrence loves hip-hop.
Lawrence's hip-hop scene is increasing in popularity.
The group, a collaboration
between nationally recognized artists Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek, is on its small tour promoting its upcoming self-titled album.
Danny Spence, local rapper and producer, said the show united the growing number of Lawrence hip-hop fans.
Spence, Austin, Texas, junior and KJHK production director, said the local hip-hop scene went into a lull after 2002 because local artists left the area hoping to expand their audience. Now though, Spence said the artists are back and are doing things a little differently.
"Even though Lawrence is smaller, it recognizes there is a community" Spence said. "There's a lot more artists coming to Lawrence and a lot more here getting shows. It feels like the time is right."
"KC and Lawrence artists go both ways. More people are scoring shows and scoring shows for other people," Spence said. "Austin has a good scene, but it's not unified like here. There's a good unity growing."
Last Saturday, approximately 300 people attended "Move," a hip-hop dance party hosted by KJHK at the Bottleneck. The show featured six local hip-hop acts, two professional dance crews and live painting. Peter Adney, KJKH hip-hop director, said hip-hop shows provided the audience an "experience" that allowed them to interact with each act in a different way.
"just as with local rock groups, it is very fun to go out and see local producers and encees perform. The smaller and more localized, the more unique and honest the experience. That's why it's just as great to experience local hip hop as it is to see your favorite star MC."
And more people are noticing. Spence said KJHK's foundation had always been traditional college-radio genres, like indie or alternative. But over the past few years, college radio at KJHK has expanded to include hip-hop music as well. With two hip-hop based special programs, Bounce and Breakfast for Beat Lovers, Adney said KJHK focused on the genre more than most college stations.
Ben Coldham, Chicago senior started a hip-hop column in The University Daily Kansan this
semester. Coldham said the column would continue next semester.
"Nothing in the Kansan or other places are tailored to the hip-hop fan base and I know for certain there's a lot of hiphop fans in Lawrence," Coldham said.
For more of the local hip-hop scene experience, the first Wednesday of every month, the 8th Street Tap Room hosts Get Foolish, a local hip-hop show. On May 8, DJ Spence and MC Polly Rhyme are performing at the Jackpot Saloon. For more information on more hip-hop events in the area visit hiphopkc.com.

Office of Multicultural Affairs relocates this week
The Office of Multicultural Affairs is moving to the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center this week.
Director Robert N. Page Jr, said faculty and staff hoped to be moved out of the office's current location at 145 Strong Hall by Wednesday.
The Multicultural Resource Center is under the direction of the office. Page said that none of the services offered by the offices were changing, but that the move would instead provide a central
location for the current services, including Hawk Link, tutoring and other academic resources.
"We think this will be a benefit to the campus community because our programs will be coordinated out of one building." Page said.

He is speaking at a new lecture series honoring the late Thomas Galloway, founding chair of the urban planning graduate program in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
"He was a very important person in the planning of the school here," said John Gaunt, dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
The lecture series is supported financially by Galloway's wife, Sharon Galloway.
His lecture will detail his experiences as an urban planner and his design for the World Trade Center memorial.
Arad is scheduled to speak at 6:30 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
"I think the whole situation involving the World Trade Center is of ongoing interest and fascination and it's sort of enriched in a sense by not only the interest in the place and purpose itself, but by the process," Gaunt said. "I certainly think this would be a really interesting event for the people at KU."
The event is free and open to the public.

End-of-the-year career fair may be just in time'
Students looking for jobs will find employers with openings
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
rburchfield@kansan.com
For students looking to nab a full-time job or internship before classes let out, KU Career Services is hosting its second career fair of the semester.
The just-in-Time Career Fair will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union.
Career Services organized a second career fair for the first time ever this year in response to the struggling economy, said Cheryl Norwood, recruiting and alumni networks coordinator for Business Career Services in the School of Business.
"We have decided that with the poor economy, it would be in the students' best interest to hold a last-minute career fair before graduation or summer break." Norwood said in an e-mail.
Norwood said every employer
attending the event was required to have either a full-time posting or an internship posting in KU Career Connections Web site.
"These employers will also benefit from this career fair because they
are being able to market last-mi time opportunities or unfiled positions at a very low cost." Norwood said.
Nathan Mack,
Lawrence senior,
said he liked the idea that only companies that
were hiring would be at the career fair. He said it would be disappointing to hit it off with an employer at a career fair just to find out they weren't hiring.
"You can go in with a hopeful outlook because you know there is at least an opportunity."
"You can go in with a hopeful outlook because you know there is at least an opportunity."

career fair. Employers include Enterprise Rent-a-Car to the Kansas City Wizards, Congressman Jerry Moran and the Peace Corps.
Dave Byrd-Stadler, employer relations coordinator with Business Career Services, said the idea
for the inaugural Just-in-Time Career Fair came out of biweekly meetings that the various career centers on campus held. He said they found students were having to work harder to find jobs than in past years. Career Services has planned the event since the beginning of the semester.
EVENT DETAILS
WHO: University students
WHAT: The inaugural Just-in-Time Career Fair
WHEN: Thursday April 30
from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
WHERE: The Ballroom of the Kansas Union
Byrd-Stadler said Career Services had no immediate plans to make the Just-in-Time Career Fair an annual event. He said the main goal of the career fair was to show students that although they may be frustrated, jobs in the difficult economy still existed and were still attainable.
"We're giving a forum of 37 companies that want to hire college-age graduates," Byrd-Stadler said. "There's probably no better opportunity right before students leave KU to get that number of employers at a single event."

U.S. close to decision about Guantanamo prisoners
BY DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press
LONDON — The United States is "relatively close" to making decisions on what to do with an initial group of Guantanamo Bay detainees, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday.
Holder spoke to The Associated Press during a flight to London, the first of several stops where he will visit with European leaders to discuss terrorism, drugs, and cyber-crime.
Holder did not say how much longer he thought it would take to close Guantanamo. Before officials can meet President Barack Obama's January deadline, the U.S. must first decide which detainees to put on trial and which to release to the U.S. or other countries.
Holder said the first step was to decide how many total detainees would be set free.
"We're doing these all on a roaring basis," he said. "I think we're probably relatively close to making some calls."
The attorney general has called the Guantanamo work the toughest part of his job.
After eight years in which the Bush administration alienated European nations over issues like the Iraq war and Guantanamo Bay, the Obama administration is trying to strengthen those ties.
"I don't think they're looking for as much of American leadership as a partnership." Holder said.
The Obama administration is edging toward taking some Guantanamo prisoners to the
U. S., most likely to Virginia. They are Chinese Muslims known as Uighurs, and their supporters say they never should have been at Guantanamo in the first place.
Republicans in Congress say Guantanamo should remain in operation and are mobilizing to fight the release of detainees into the United States.
Against that backdrop, Holder hoped to reassure skeptical Europeans without generating too much public opposition back home.

GM to announce plan to restructure today
BY TOM KRISHER Associated Press
DETROIT — General Motors Corp. will announce details of its massive restructuring plan today, including changes in its eight brands and potential factory closures as it fights to avoid bankruptcy protection.
GM must make the announcement in advance of a planned offer to its bondholders to swap debt for company stock. The company
owes $28 billion to bondholders, and under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, it must disclose its operational plans before making an exchange offer.
The disclosure is likely to include the end of the storied Pontiac brand, and could provide further details of factory closings.
GM is living on $15.4 billion in government loans and faces a government-imposed June 1 deadline to restructure or go into bankruptcy protection.

HAWKINS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
said he was with Hawkins almost every day until his death and considered him one of his closest friends. He said Hawkins was a "goofy, hilarious" friend to have around. He has known Hawkins since August and said he had never seen him angry.
"It itd matter if you knew him for a day or you knew him his whole life, he would take you in," Miller said.
Miller said he and other members of the fraternity were notified of Hawkins' death Friday morning. He said he couldn't believe the news.
"It didn't really hit me until he didn't text me like he did every morning. I didn't get a text and that's when I knew something was really wrong." Miller said.
Keenan Soto, Overland Park sophomore and vice president of the fraternity, said he had been excited to get to know Hawkins better following his recent initiation.
"He was a great friend to all of us," Soto said. "He had a great head on his shoulders."
Soto said Hawkins was funny, yet respectful.
"He was a blast to be around — really funny and outgoing." Soto said.
Hawkins is survived by two sisters, Makenzie, 14, and Misty, 35; his parents, Shawn and Rhondae and three grandparents.
Makenzie Hawkins said her brother's death was a complete

shock to the entire family. She said her brother was outgoing and always had the "biggest smile."
"He was always really nice and he gave me energy to keep going," she said. "I really looked up to him."
Makenzie said Dalton was smart and easy to love.
"He never did wrong. He was always a straight-A student," she said.
Miller said the fraternity, leadership and residents of Ellsworth, and leadership from Watkins were organizing a memorial service to take place behind Ellsworth sometime this week.
"He was just a great guy who didn't deserve to go this early," he said.
The visitation will be from 6 to 8 tonight at Amos Family Funeral Home, 10901 Johnson Dr., Shawnee. Hawkins' funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday at Crossroads Christian Church, 5855 Renner Rd., Shawnee. Both are open to the public. Following the funeral, Hawkins will be buried at Shawnee Mission Memorial Gardens, 23215 75th St., Shawnee.

Tamil Tiger rebels to spare trapped civilians

Internally displaced Sri Lankan ethnic Tamil civilians gather around a truck to receive food at a camp for the displaced in Manic Farm in Vavuniya, Sri Lanka, Sunday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Facing imminent battlefield defeat, Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels declared a unilateral ceasefire Sunday and called on the government to halt its offensive to spare the tens of thousands of civilians trapped by the fighting.
The government rejected the appeal and accused the rebels of playing for time as the military stands poised to rout them and end the separatist war that has plagued this Indian Ocean island nation for a quarter century.
"This is a joke," Defense Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said of the rebels' truce offer.
The cease-fire declaration came amid a chorus of international appeals for a pause in the fighting to allow the estimated 50,000 ethnic Tamil civilians remaining in the war zone to escape. The government and aid groups accuse the rebels of holding the civilians hostage to blunt the government offensive, a charge the rebels deny.
Reports from the region have detailed growing cases of starvation and civilian casualties in recent days.
The United Nations, which said nearly 6,500 civilians had been killed over the past three months, had sent its top humanitarian official on an emergency mission to Sri Lanka to push for a ceasefire. John Holmes met Sunday with senior government officials

CONCERT Alcohol-free performance in honor of Jason Wren
Sigma Alpha Epsilon members will sell tickets in front of Wescoe Hall from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. today and Monday, Nehring said. Tickets can also be purchased at Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
The concert, which will feature musician Kelley James, will start at 7 p.m. Monday in Sigma Alpha Epsilon's backyard, 1301 West Campus Road.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon is holding an alcohol-free concert in honor of Jason Wren, who died from suspected alcohol poisoning in the fraternity's house March 8.
As of Thursday afternoon, organizers had sold about 200 tickets to the concert, and hoped to sell "a couple hundred more," Jonathan Nehring, LeRoy sophomore and one of the concert's organizers, said.
Tickets for the concert are $10. The proceeds will go to the Jason Wren Memorial Fund, a charity fund set up by Wren's family members to build a memorial at Wren's high school in Littleton, Colo., and to raise awareness of issues surrounding Wren's death, including the University's privacy policy.

Swine flu monitored in several countries
Avio
Quarantine officers monitor travelers with a thermographic device at an arrival gate at Natalia International Airport in Narita, east of Tokyo, Japan. Asian health authorities were on alert Sunday, with some checking passengers and pink products from Mexico.
BY FRANK JORDANS
Associated Press
GENEVA — Canada became the third country to confirm human cases of swine flu Sunday as global health officials considered whether to raise the global pandemic alert level.
Nations from New Zealand to Spain also reported suspected cases, and some warned citizens against travel to North America while others planned quarantines, tightened rules on pork imports and tested airline passengers for fevers.
The six Canadian cases in Nova Scotia and British Columbia all had links to people who had traveled to Mexico, and all are the same flu strain.
The six people have recovered, said Dr. David Butler-Jones, Canada's chief public health officer.
But "these are probably not the last cases we'll see in Canada," he said.
The news follows the World Health Organization's decision Saturday to declare the outbreak first detected in Mexico and the United States a "public health
emergency of international concern. $ ^{10} $
A senior World Health Organization official said the agency's emergency committee will meet for a second time Tuesday to examine the

The same strain of the A/H1N1 swine flu virus has been detected in several locations in Mexico and the United States, and it appears to be spreading directly from human to human, said Keiji Fukuda, WHO's assistant director-general in charge of health security.
disease has killed up to 86 people and likely sickened up to 1,400 since April 13. U.S. officials say the virus has been found in New York, California, Texas, Kansas and Ohio.
Mexico's health minister says the
but no fatalities have been reported.
Governments including China, Russia and Taiwan began planning to put anyone with symptoms of the deadly virus under quarantine.
Others were increasing their
screening of pigs and pork imports from the Americas or banning them outright despite health officials' reassurances that it was safe to eat thoroughly cooked pork.
Some nations issued travel warnings for Mexico and the United States.
WHO's emergency committee is still trying to determine exactly how the virus has spread, Fukuda said
"Right now we have cases occurring in a couple of different countries and in multiple locations," he said. "But we also know that in the modern world that cases can simply move around from single locations and not really become established."
Raising the pandemic alert phase could entail issuing specific recommendations to countries on how to halt the disease. So far, WHO has
only urged governments to step up their surveillance of suspicious outbreaks.

French Health Ministry officials investigated four possible cases of swine flu, but three were found to be negative. In Brazil, a hospital said a patient who arrived from Mexico was hospitalized with some swine flu symptoms.

Mexico City residents prepare for swine flu
BY DAVID KOOP Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — The cardinal said Mass in a shattered cathedral. Soccer teams played to empty stadiums. Mexico's overcrowded capital locked itself indoors Sunday, terrified by a new strain of swine flu that was spreading around the world.
On Sunday even the enormous Zocalo plaza, where throngs of families congregate for street performances and open-air concerts, was all but empty. A handful of women wearing surgical masks knelt on the plaza's stones and prayed, their arms reaching upward in a lonely vigil.
Inside, Cardinal Norberto Rivera delivered a sermon to nearly empty pews, his pleas for divine intervention relayed over television and radio.
To the south of the city, the Pumas soccer team took on the Chivas at the picturesque Olympic Stadium, decorated by muralist Diego Rivera, but its sold-out volcanic-rock bleachers were empty. They tied 1-1 as fans followed from home on television.
Schools have been canceled
in the capital and the states of Mexico and San Luis Potosi until May 6. Hundreds of public events including concerts and sports matches have been called off to keep people spreading the virus in crowds. Zoos were closed and visits to juvenile correction centers were suspended.
Twenty people have been sickened in the United States and six in Canada, and suspected cases were being reported as far away as Israel and New Zealand. The U.S. declared a public health emergency, providing for easier access to flu tests and medications, and enhanced surveillance along the U.S.-Mexico border.
In Mexico, 86 deaths are suspected to be swine flu, with 22 of those confirmed. Nearly 1,400 people are believed infected. In Mexico City alone, five people died since Saturday of influenza, with two of them confirmed to be swine flu, Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said.
Most of those who died sought medical help only after the disease was well advanced, Mexico City Health Secretary Armando Ahued said. By Sunday, throngs of Mexicans were rushing to hospitals, some with just a fever.

Most state House members voted for a resolution recognizing 2002's "Do You Realize??," but conservatives who said they were offended by the band's clothing and language mustered enough votes to keep it from being adopted.
Gov. Brad Henry resolved the issue by announcing he would sign an executive order proclaiming "Do You Realize??" the official rock song of Oklahoma. The song earned more than half of the 21,000 votes cast in an online contest.

Ban the bike (and cyclists too)
In the interest of full disclosure, let me preface this column by stating on the record that I have a long-standing fear of bicycles (more specifically, people riding bicycles) that grew out of a harrowing experience from my childhood. When I was seven, I was walking with my parents in the park when, filled with the boundless energy of childhood stupidity, I decided to take off running. Separated from my parents, I heard the tell-tale ring of a bicycle coming from behind me. Assuming that this was universal bicyclist language for, "Get out of the way, I am on a bicycle," I jumped to the other side of the sidewalk.
Apparently, the real message the cyclist was trying to impart through ringing was, "Do not alter your path, I am on a bicycle." The grown man on the bicycle jumped off so as not to hurt himself as the bicycle crashed into me. He landed on his feet, walked over to the bicycle, which had stopped half a foot from the child he had just brutalized, and rode off. I lay on the ground in a daze until I realized I was covered in a variety of horrible boo-boos and immediately began哭 uncontrollably. My parents (who weren't ever actually that far from me) took me home as I bawled. I've been terrified of bicyclists ever since.
NEURAUER
'THE THINGS I BELIEVE'
ANDREW NEUBAUER
With that, let me give you the crux of this column: Bicycles should be banned and bicyclists should all be thrown in prison. Perhaps the key should be forgotten. Maybe they should be subject to public flogging when they try to sneak a pleasant Sunday afternoon ride through the park. They are monsters and they deserve to be punished for three primary reasons, which I will impart to you now.
1. Legally, in Lawrence, bicyclists are required to keep to the road. They seldom actually do this and seem content to endanger the walking public whenever it fits their diabolical designs. A few weeks ago I watched as someone tried to ride his bike full-speed across Wescoe Beach. He didn't care that people had to jump to get out of his way; he was too damn hip on his bicycle with his pants partially rolled up. When I walk through Veterans Park to go to class, I am routinely forced to relive my childhood trauma as cyclists tear ass on sidewalks where children play. Why do they
2. They frequently retard the flow of traffic by being obnoxiously slow when they do decide to ride on the road. When those who have places to be honk or pass, they then yell things like, "I have a right to the road, too!" This isn't even true. Roads were made for cars and totally rockin' motorcycles. Bike paths in national parks were made for bicycles. It gets worse when cyclists organize and form things like "Critical Mass" that occupies the entire road and inconveniences everyone. Some of us actually do have jobs and places to be, you smelly hippies!
3. They ignore any and all road signs during such time that they occupy the road, further invalidating their claim to a stake in it. Running red lights and stop signs is just dangerous, stupid and inconsiderate, you beatniks!
All this talk of "saving the environment" is just globo-facist propaganda. Everyone knows that the fresh scent of car exhaust is like bottled America. A world where my children don't come home at night coughing up black, viscous goo is not a world that I want to live in.

Media shows ugly side in Susan Boyle coverage
BY ANDY BOCKELMAN U. of Northern Colorado The Mirror
Attractive people are the only ones worth the world's attention. Unless, of course, you've got talent. Then you can be forgiven for your appearance. Such is the message sent with the popularity of up-and-coming Scottish singer Susan Boyle.
Boyle, 47, made a huge splash that rippled worldwide when she appeared on "Britain's Got Talent" facing off against renowned nitpicker Simon Cowell. The heavyset chanteuse
— plain and dowdy by her own admission — shocked the crowd by belting out the "Les Misérables" tune "I Dreamed a Dream." Since then, the Internet has been abuzz with the emergence of a fresh, musical voice who represents the common people.
Much has been made of Boyle's ugly duckling story and her background. Originally surprising people with a false confession of never being kissed, Boyle seems to take pride in making her life sound worse than it is. This kind of media fodder is amusing in a kind of self-awareness viewpoint as the singer can keep everyone guessing as to what she will do next.
With a marketing campaign of having an unglamorous appearance combined with her amazing voice, Boyle could stand to make a phenomenal career out of her tale. But the public is uninterested in
keeping Boyle as she is.
To quote another well-known musical act from across the pond, "Another one bites the dust."
Making role models out of those who don't quite fit the traditional Hollywood standards — Nia Vardalos in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" or America Ferrera in "Ugly Betty" — has been a pet project of the entertainment industry lately. Though while such endeavors promote a differentiation in standards of beauty, these have been counterproductive more often than not, turning talented women into martyrs of body image.
Though Boyle has not been quick to jump into makeover mode, much has been made about recent facial touch-ups, most notably her newly curled hair and trimmed eyebrows, chronicled in the tasteless E! Online story, "Big Plucking Deal."
A joke about Boyle on a recent episode of "South Park" said what we're all thinking: too much hype. The news media outlets have gone out of their way to promote Boyle's offbeat look more than her singing and, as a result, have become guilty of preaching the same narrow-mindedness that made it easy for her to be overlooked in the first place.
One can only hope that Boyle can rise above this misguided attention to prove true the lyrics of the song that made her famous, a cry for a better life filled with love.

Students in dormitories should aim at adulthood
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
"If you want to be treated like an adult, then act like one," is what my father has told me for the past few years. Just like punishing a child, you punish the "adult" because they did wrong. However, many of us feel we are too old or too independent to be told what to do
One thing we have lost in our generation is respect for our dormitories and peers. After living in Hash for two years now, I understand that we get annoyed because we're cramped, or we hate E's food, or we don't want to follow the rules because we're "adults." But just because the majority of students are at least 18 does not give them the right to refer to themselves as adults.
Perhaps if we acted like adults maybe no one would be babying us. As an employer in Hash, I find more of these "adults" than I expected. I find profanity written on the walls, elevator lights removed, trash left in the lobbies, and filthy bathrooms.
I am ashamed to show my face to the janitorial staff because I am embarrassed that the dorm is left this way. Think of it this way. These dorms are
our homes. Would you trash your house back home? Of course not. Besides the fact that our parental units would beat the living hell out of us, we simply don't want to live in filth. Hash was renovated in 2006, so it is the nicest dorm on campus. In order for it to be kept that way we need to respect it and the future students who will live here.
I feel like saying "don't shoot the messenger" whenever someone gives me shit about telling them to not do something. Residence hall staffers can get tired of the rudeness, attitudes, disrespect and overall bullshit that we get from residents. Hey, we're students too, just doing our job and making money.
If you don't like the rules that are set out by student housing, if you feel the staff is pointless for enforcing rules, then by all means live off-campus next year. Deal with the police instead of a desk assistant every time a complaint is filed
So next time you decide to destroy something for whatever reason, just ask yourself, am I acting like an adult?

BAGHDAD — Iraq's prime minister denounced a deadly U.S. raid on Sunday as a "crime" that violated the security pact with Washington and demanded American commanders hand over those responsible to face possible trial in Iraqi courts.
U. S. forces plan to move out of most Iraqi cities by the end of June in the first phase of a promised withdrawal from the country by the end of 2011.
A statement from Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki — in his role as commander general of Iraqi forces — called the raid a "violation of the security pact."
The U.S. military, however, strongly denied that it overstepped its bounds and said it notified Iraqi authorities in advance — in accordance with the rules that took effect this year governing U.S. battlefield conduct.
The pre dawn raid in the southern Shiite city of Kut ended with at least one woman dead after being caught in gunfire and six suspects arrested for alleged links to Shiite militia factions.
Elsewhere in Iraq, gunmen stormed two Christian homes in separate attacks in the ethnically diverse city of Kirkuk, killing at least two Chaldean Christians and one Assyrian, said police Brig. Burham Taib.

ous test of the security pact so far and could bring new strains during a critical transition period.
But efforts were quickly launched in an attempt to tone down the dispute.
The six detainees were released, said Major Gen. Read Shakir Jawdat, head of the provincial police that includes Kut. At the same news conference, U.S. Col. Richard France offered condolences to the family of the woman killed.
The fallout marks the most seri-
He asked the U.S. military "to release the detainees and hand over those responsible for this crime to the courts," according to an Iraqi security official who read the state-
The northern city is a fault line between the majority Kurds and Arabs, but also includes ethnic Turks and various Christian groups. A U.N. report given to Iraqi leaders last week recommends giving Kirkuk a "special status" with oversight by both the Kurd region and the central government in Baghdad.

NATIONAL Storms, tornados hit Midwest over weekend
DES MOINES, Iowa — Strong thunderstorms packing possible tornadoes battered parts of the Midwest on Sunday for a second straight day, damaging at least half a dozen buildings and a campground in Iowa and two Oklahoma homes.
Tornadoes were reported in eastern Iowa, western Oklahoma and south-central Kansas, but there were no immediate reports of serious injuries.
In Kansas, a possible tornado touched down in the Lake Afton area southwest of Wichita. Two people were injured when the camper they were in was flipped by the storm, said Sgt. Oscar Thomasson of the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department.
Numerous roads and bridges were closed because of heavy rainfall that accompanied the storms on back-to-back days.
Strong to severe thunderstorms moved across the southern two-thirds of the state throughout the afternoon, with some areas seeing nickel-to-quarter-sized hail.
ECONOMY Chrysler one step closer to avoiding liquidation
DETROIT — Chrysler LLC cleared another major obstacle to its survival Sunday when it reached a tentative deal for concessions with the United Auto Workers union.
The troubled automaker is just days from a Thursday U.S. government deadline to gain concessions from its unions and debtholders and form an alliance with Italy's Fiat Group SpA or face almost certain liquidation.
The UAW announced the deal in a news release Sunday night, calling the concessions painful but saying the deal took advantage of the Obama administration giving Chrysler and its workers a second chance.
The administration in February rejected Chrysler's restructuring plan and said it could not stand on its own.

NFL Draft inspires laziness
BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
I'm generally a lazy person, but two things make me feel lazier than any skipped afternoon class: the NFL Draft and Rocky movie marathons on TNT.
With the draft, you're literally watching people watch TV. Not to mention the fact it's just an uneducated guessing game.
With Rocky marathors, Rocky Balboa and (insert Apollo Creed, Clubber Liao or Ivan Drago) look like they're cut from granite, which makes me feel like a marshmallow as I wash down a frozen pizza with another Hee-Haw.
Edited by Realle Roth
However, no matter how many times I swear off both of these events, I'm glued to the screen as soon as the TV clocks on. So, in an effort to make myself feel a little better after wasting 48 hours on ESPN, here are some things I found interesting during the draft
- Oakland continues to be the dumbest franchise in the history of the NFL. Obsessed with speed, Raiders owner Al Davis selected Maryland's Darrius Heyward Bay and his 4.3-second 40 time with the No. 7 pick. He wanted even more speed, but Usain Bolt wasn't on the board (cue rimshot). In the second round, Davis topped it off by drafting Michael Mitchell out of Ohio. Widely regarded as a late-rounder or even a free agent, Mitchell is now rich because Davis doesn't understand how football works.
- Though no Kansas players were drafted, there were plenty of Kansas highlights. Actually, highlights with Jayhavks getting beat would be more accurate. Highlight packages for Texas A&M's Stephen McGee and Texas Tech's top trio (WR Michael Crabtree, DB Darcel McBath and OL Louis Vasquez) all featured a plethora of plays against Kansas.
- The draft is much more enjoyable on day two, mainly because of ESPN's desperate attempts to fill time throughout the day. The best example of this was Erin Andrews' interview with Texas' Quan Cosby and former comedian Dr. Bill Cosby (no relation).
And with that I learned that one of the greatest comedians of our time has lost his mind.
Bill is friends with Longhorn coach Mack Brown, and when he met Quan and he asked to be part of his entourage on draft day. So there was Quan, Andrews and Bill, who was dressed in a Temple jersey and helmet, all crammed onto a love seat too small for Gary Coleman.
After a few failed jokes — Bill really isn't too funny these days — Bill said he wanted to be drafted by Detroit, which led to the most awkward Q&A in recent history.
Andrews: What is the biggest strength you could bring to the Detroit Lions?
Andrews: Don't you think there's enough of that already in Detroit?
Bill: Did you ever corner anything, and then found out that it just terrified you? You had cornered it and it was just going to come out and get you. That's how you have to play.
Bill; Fear.

Junior David Narodowski leaps over freshman James Stanford to avoid a collision as Stanfield catches a Nebraska pop fly for an out. The Jayhawks defeated the Cornhuskers 9-4 in game two of the doubleheader Sunday afternoon
Stanfield steps up against Cornhuskers
Freshman fills in for Price, drives in winning run against Nebraska
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
James Stanfield knows his role well. That's why Stanfield, back up freshman infielder, didn't even flinch when junior second baseman Robby Price went down with an injury in Sunday's doubleheader.
Stanfield contributed greatly in both games, driving in the winning runs in Kansas' 9-4 victory against Nebraska in game two of the doubleheader.
Stanfield finished the day going only 2-for-7 in both games, but he made his hits count as he also had three RBIs and scored three runs. Stanfield's second hit came in the seventh inning with the game tied at four. Stanfield barely snuck his

ground ball through the left side between the third baseman and shortstop, as two runners came in to score.
Kansas tacked on three insurance runs in the eighth, but Stanfield's hit was what coach Ritch Price talked about.
"That was big time wasn't it? I mean for that kid to get that clutch hit with two outs to put us ahead was a tremendous at-bat for a freshman," Price said. "He's a scrappy little guy."
Stanfield's clutch hit helped Kansas take the series against
Nebraska after thunderstorms postponed the game on Saturday. Redshirt sophomore outfielder Brian Heere said the doubleheader sweep showed a lot of maturity, especially after the way Kansas lost on Friday night.
"That took a lot of maturity from us," Heere said. "We had to get to bed early, get up early. It took a lot of maturity to stay in the game and play all 18 innings today."
It was the Jayhawks' first series

An 11-8 loss on Sunday wasn't the ideal result for Kansas softball's Senior Day, but it wasn't enough to spoil a feel-good weekend for the team.

Third baseman Val Chapple, left fielder Stevie Crisosto, pitcher Valerie George, center fielder Dougie McCaulley and catcher Elle Pottrott were all honored for their career achievements.
"All five of them are such good players and teammates," sophomore Allie Clark said. "They've taught us so much."
Many of Kansas' underclassmen also spoke of the importance of ending the year on a high note for their senior teammates.

Team takes fifth place in Big 12 tournament
BY HALLIE MANN
hmann@kansan.com
Kansas was ranked 11th coming into the tournament but after three days of playing the team finished with a program-best performance of 945 strokes.
Junior Meghan Gockel, who tied for sixth place overall, led the team. Gockel said she thought the team finished pretty well. She also said she thought that she played well overall but that there were still ways for the team to improve.
With its best finish ever in the Big 12, the Kansas women's golf team couldn't be happier. The team took fifth place in the conference tournament this weekend in Lubbock, Texas.
Kansas State beat the Jayhawks by one stroke, taking fourth place.
One of the things that the team has been working on is its mental game, O'Neil said. She said
"It always comes down to the wire at tournaments like this," Coach Erin O'Neil said. "Either way we did a great job this weekend."
"I didn't come in with expectations for the tournament, but if I had, I think I definitely exceeded them," Gockel said.

"I think this tournament was a step in the right direction for us as a team and our progress," Gockel said.
Looking back on the season and Gockel's performance Sunday, O'Neil said Gockel had made a lot of progress as a player. O'Neil said she was pleased with Gockel's mental toughness and her ability to motivate others on the team.

Scott Dixon beats Ryan Briscoe in Kansas City
IRL
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Scott Dixon took advantage of Ryan Briscoes's tough-luck pit stop, then held off Helio Castronews to win the Road Runner Turbo Indy 300 on Sunday.
Briscoe led for 54 laps when he decided to go into the pits for tires and fuel. Just as he crossed into the pits, Dario Franchitti slammed into the wall, sending up the caution flag. Track officials didn't allow Briscoe to stop and he lost position, returning to the track in fourth after pitting with the rest of the field.
Tony Kanaan finished third and Briscoe ended up fourth.
Chiefs pick Jackson in first round

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A defense bad enough to make NFL history got all the attention on Kansas City's first three draft picks under the command of Scott Pioli and Todd Haley.
Then the team's new brain trust turned to offense.
12 LSU 33
Now, they'll focus on free agents, rookie free agents and any other method that may present an opportunity to take the Chiefs from the miserable 2-14 they suffered through last season to the status of Super Bowl contenders they knew in the 1990s.
"There's a lot of ground to cover," Pioli said at the end of the day on Sunday. "And there's a lot more ground to cover. As this ends today, we're not through improving this football team. There's going to be a lot of things that happen. There will be other opportunities."
It wasn't for lack of trying.
One immediate disappointment to Chiefs fans may be the lack of draft trades. As director of pro personnel at New England, Pioli was famous for wheeling and dealing and working out slick agreements that brought in winning players. But all the way through their first pick in the seventh round, not one deal was reached.
"We talked about a lot of different trades with a lot of different people, spent a lot of time on the phone," Pioli said. "Sometimes we felt like we would have to give up too much to get to certain spots. There were a couple of players we thought about potentially trading up for, but it was getting close enough to our pick and fortunately, they fell to us. So we were able to save our picks. I love to look for trades. But if they're not right, or if the right opportunity isn't there, you don't consummate the trade."

Chiefs went for Purdue defensive lineman Alex Magee in the third round on Sunday and then selected Ohio State cornerback Donald Washington in the fourth.
The Chiefs did not have a second-round pick because Pioli already had addressed another gaping need by trading the pick to New England for quarterback Matt Cassel.
Clearly, Pioli and head coach Todd Haley went into the draft
with defense on their minds.
"Our philosophy is to take a combination of best available player, plus need." Haley said Sunday. "Obviously, if you've been around here a little bit, they had a little trouble stopping people."
With their fourth pick on Sunday, the Chiefs finally took Missouri tackle Colin Brown. The 6-foot-7, 325-pounder was born and raised in Braymer, Mo., about an hour north of Kansas City, and
grew up a Chiefs fan. With their fifth overall selection, they stayed with offense and drafted wide receiver Quinten Lawrence in the sixth round. He averaged nearly 20 yards per catch for McNeese State coming into his senior year, but played in only five games as a senior because of a leg injury.
With their seventh-round pick, the Chiefs made running back Javarris Williams of Tennessee State the 212th player taken overall.

Jayhawks travel to Hutchinson tourney underdogs
BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO
clucero@kansan.com
Most of the time, seeding teams for a tournament is a pretty accurate depiction of the results. But men's golf coach Kit Grove has seen how seedings can be misleading.
"We were toward the bottom last year and finished fifth, so it was a pretty successful tournament," Grove said.
The Jayhawks will shoot to reprise the underdog role as the No. 10 seed this week, Monday through Wednesday, at the big 12 tournament, which will be played at Prairie Dunes
Country Club in Hutchinson.
The course will host four teams ranked in the Golf World/Nike Golf Coaches' Top 25 Poll. Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech will headline this week's tournament, a field Grove said was full of big-time programs. The team will rely heavily on senior Walt Koelbel, arguably the most consistent Jaiyhawk this season. Grove said Koelbel played at Prairie Dunes two years ago and came away with a ninth-place finish.
"I know Walt has played well here before so hopefully he'll have some positive mojo going into the
tournament," Grove said. "He has worked his way into being a kid you
watch and look up to and every year he's improved into a better player."
Grove said seniors Andrew Storm and Zach Pederson would also provide veteran leadership.
"Andrew is a gue whose game is well suited for this
course. He keeps it in play and that's what you need here, Grove said.
"it's all in the mind when it comes to weather. "
"Zach has played for three years here and has come on lately, so

hopefully he can build on some of his experience and turn in a low number."
"It's all in the mind when it comes to
The forecast for the week isn't promising, as thunderstorms are predicted to hover around Hutchinson for the entire tournament.
weather," Grove said. "If you go in hoping it will make the course play
tough and even the playing field, it will be an asset to use to our advantage."
Grove also mentioned his hopes for the tournament and his players.
"Hopefully the seniors will enjoy playing a world-class course in a conference tournament," Grove said. "We just need to play it the way it was designed and accept what the golf course gives you. It's been a struggle all season and wed rather be going in the other direction — going into the conference, but that's why you play the game."

Southern California quarterback Mark Sanchez, left, shows his new jersey to his father, Nick, after being introduced to the media at the New York jets practice facility in Fornish Park, N.J., Sunday. Sanchez was selected as the fifth-overall pick during the first round of the NFL football draft.
New York Jets trade up Mark Sanchez; other Quarterbacks saved for day two
Associated Press
NEW YORK — If there's an NFL executive Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum hasn't approached with an offer to trade in the draft, he should be ready for a call next year.
BY BARRY WILNER
With Brett Favre retired and Thomas Jones threatening to stay away without a renegotiated contract, Tannenbaum was super active
at the beginning of both days of the draft this weekend. His aggressiveness landed quarterback Mark Sanchez in the fifth overall spot.
A f t e r
T a n n e n b a u m
caught his breath
— his team had no
more picks in the first two rounds — he began Sunday's session by dealing with Detroit to start things off. The Jets filled a potential hole with Iowa running back Shonn Greene.
At least Tannenbaum is consistent. In the last four drafts, he's traded up to get key players: in 2006, quarterback Kellen Clemens; in 2007 cornerback Darrelle Revis and linebacker David Harris; and last year, tight end Dustin Keller.
The Jets sent a third-rounder, a fourth-rounder and a seventhrounder to the Lions to get the All-American Greene.
"I think they really believe in my talent and my potential to trade up and get me," Greene said. "I'm just going to work my hardest to satisfy
"I think they really believe in my talent and my potential to trade up and get me."
... and help the team win."
SHONN GREENE Jets running back
Chicago and Dallas finally made their first picks, in the 68th and 69th slots. The Bears went for defensive tackle Jarron Gilbert of San Jose State, and the Cowboys selected Western Illinois linebacker Jason Williams.
"I know a lot was said about him at the top of the second round." Bears GM Jerry Angelo said of Gilbert. "For whatever reason, it didn't happen. We really didn't
expect him to be there but we felt, as I said, given that we wanted to trade down, given that we had four players that we liked and felt good that one of them would be there, that's what happened."
Williams wasn't even invited to
Quarterbacks pretty much were overlooked until late in the second day. Only four went in the first two rounds, including top overall choice Matthew Stafford of Georgia to Detroit. Through three more
"It probably had something to with being an FCS player," said Williams of his small-college background. "I got overlooked in the process."

rounds Sunday, Stephen McGee of Texas A&M was the top choice in the fourth round, by Dallas. Former Oklahoma QB Rhett Bomar, who transferred to Sam Houston State, was taken by the Giants in the fifth round, followed by Ball State's Nate Davis to San Francisco.
But the sixth round saw Fresno State's Tom Brandstater go to Denver — no, he isn't likely another Jay Cutler — and Rutgers' Mike Teel (to Seattle) go in the first five spots. Two more went that round: Keith Null of West Texas A&M, and Curtis Painter of Purdue.
Several big-time programs accustomed to having multiple players selected waited a lot longer than Chicago and Dallas to be involved. Indeed, the Miami Hurricanes had gone 14 straight drafts with a first-round pick. This year, no Hurricane had gone until linebacker Spencer Adkins went to Atlanta at No. 176.
The first Virginia Tech player taken, DB Victor Harris, was No. 157 to Philadelphia, and the first Nebraska Cornhusker went in the next spot, linebacker Cody Glenn to Washington.
All-American running back Javon Ringer of Michigan State was the final pick of Round 5, leaving Utah kicker Louie Sakoda as the only All-American undrafted.

Philadelphia loses to Orlando in first-round
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — LeBron James had 36 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists to lead Cleveland to a first-round sweep of Detroit.
The top-seeded Cavs might be off for more than a week, waiting for Atlanta or Miami to advance.

Dwight Howard had 18 points and 18 rebounds, and every Magic starter scored in double figures. Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis each added 17.
PHILADELPHIA — Hedo Turkoglu nailed a three-pointer over Thaddeus Young with 1.1 seconds left to lift Orlando over Philadelphia, evening their Eastern Conference first-round series at two games apiece.

Kansas disappointed in performance at Penn Relays

Nickesha Anderson, Hanover, Jamaica, senior, represented Kansas in the Penn Relays this weekend, competing in the 100-meter dash event and the 4x400 meter relay. Anderson competed in the Penn Relays when she was in high school, often finishing in the top three, though her return this weekend wasn't as successful.
The men's and women's squads didn't make qualifying times in the 4x400 relay

er and drove in a career-high five runs on his 32nd birthday, helping the Cubs end a four-game skid with a 10-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
It had been almost six years since senior Nickesha Anderson had competed at the oldest track meet in the country, the Penn Relays.
Fukudome hit a three-run hom-
The Hanover, Jamaica, sprinter used to compete there in her high school days and usually finished in the top three.
This week marked her return, though the relays went a little differently. This time, she donned KU colors and didn't see the same success. Anderson didn't qualify for regionalists in the 100-meter dash or the 4x400 team relay.
Her fellow Jayhawks didn't fare much better. This weekend the Jayhawks competed at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, with a goal to regionally qualify for the 4x400 meter relay events. Unfortunately neither men's or women's squads were able to reach that goal.
The women's 4x400 team comprised of Anderson and seniors Charity Stowers and Sha'Ray Butler and freshman Shayla Wilson came the closest to competing in the collegiate finals.
Their preliminary time of 3:47.44 had placed them as first alternate for the women's final making it possible for the Jayhawks to run again if one of teams failed to show.
Fukudome went 3-for-4 to hike his average to .371 after hitting .257 last season. He hit his fourth homer in the eighth off lefty reliever Trever Miller to finish the scoring.
Unfortunately, all the teams did come, leaving the lajahyes out of
"We were ready to run". Anderson said.
"This was a chance so you could run again, even though we didn't run well the first time." Anderson said.
the finals. Anderson said she was disappointed.
Anderson had more than the relay event to focus on. She was also competing in the 100-meter dash event.
There were three preliminary heats in which the top three of each heat would advance to the finals. Anderson finished fourth, running at 11.72 seconds.
Anderson said that she slipped out of the starting blocks at the beginning of the race.
"For me it was just to improve on my speed and time. Get more feeling and get back into race mode."
"There wasn't much I could

do, Anderson said.
Anderson said it was the first time she had not made the finals in an event. But having already qualified for regionals at the Jim Click Shootout early in the outdoor season, she viewed this race as preparation for regionals later in May.
"For me it was just to improve on my speed and time," Anderson said. "Get more feeling and get back into race mode."
Like Anderson, freshman hurdler Keith Hayes ran two events; the 4x400 and the 110-meter hurdle event.
"It it a good environment, good atmosphere. I just ran like crap," Hayes said.
First came the 110-meter hurdles event in which he finished fifth in his heat and 16th overall, running 14.23 seconds.
"I ran pretty bad. I ran out like
Drake relavs
Junior Lauren Bonds regionally qualified, running her best time in the 1500-meter run at 4:27:16, taking third at the Drake Relays.
Freshman jumper Corey Fuller took second in the triple jump, jumping 15.20 meters. It's the third meet in a row that the freshman has taken second in the triple jump including at home at the Kansas Relays.
In men's pole vault, junior Kirk Cooper took 17th, jumping 4.90 meters while junior Jordan Scott, who is redshirting this outdoor season, took sixth in the men's pole vault, jumping 5.32 meters.
Senior Jonathan Edwards took 22nd overall in the men's javelin throwing 47.91 meters.
Both seniors Stephanie Horton and Emily Reimer placed in the top 15 in the women's shot put. Horton took 13th (14.47 meters) and Reimer in 15th (14.37)
Kansas also competed in the Penn relays and the Nebraska Open this weekend.
I had no idea what I was doing." Hayes said.
Hayes said that he didn't remember the race all too well because it happened so quickly, but did know that he did not execute the race the way he had wanted to.
"Right now I'm not living up to my potential," Hayes said. "My day is coming; I just can't wait until it comes."
Hayes said that literally right after finishing the 110-meter hurdle event, he had to prepare to
run the anchor leg of the 4x400 relay with senior Jarrell Rollins, junior Reggie Carter and sophomore Keron Toussaint.
"We felt very prepared," Hayes said. "For myself, I had the drive, but it wasn't good enough."
The men's squad finished third in the preliminary heat, but didn't

qualify for the finals. Hayes said that the weekend was overall a disappointment.
"We came in with an eye on the prize and we came up empty-handed." Haves said.

anything at the Penn Relays, competing at the oldest track meet in the U.S. was something they were glad to experience.
"I'm glad I got the opportunity," Hayes said. "Not everybody gets to run at Penn."
However, hitting the homer off a southpaw was something to relish, Fukudome said.

"More than hitting, winning is the most important thing," Fukudome said through a translator. "I'm too old for a cake and I don't want to get fat."

NASCAR Fans injured after crash near end of Talladega
race
TALLADEGA, Ala. — Carl Edwards began his charge to the front with nine laps to go at Talladega Superspeedway. He never expected to up airborne, upside down, sheet metal spewing behind him as his car sailed into the safety fence.
Dr. Bobby Lewis, Talladega's onsite physician, said two people in the crowd were airlifted from the track to avoid the heavy traffic. One woman had a possible broken jaw.
The dangerous but dramatic restrictor-plate racing came under fire after Edwards' attempt to block Keselowski's winning pass triggered the last of several frightening accidents at one of the sport's most exciting tracks.
"We'll race like this until we kill somebody," Edwards said, "then (NASCAR) will change it."
"I'm glad the car didn't go up in the grandstands," he said. "I saw some fencing at one point and that made me a little bit nervous. I don't know if I could live with myself if I ended up in the grandstands."
The fence bowed, but held, and Edwards returned safely to the racing surface — another "Big One" to thrill the fans.
Edwards, who climbed from the fiery wreckage and crossed the finish line on foot, was thankful it wasn't worse.
Officials said seven fans sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Only this time, seven people were hurt and one of the lasting images of Sunday's race will be the pink-clad woman strapped to a stretcher, her head in a brace as she was airlifted to a hospital after debris from Edwards' last-lap crash with winner Brad Keselowski sailed into the grandstands.

Early last semester, I began having problems with my car. It was making funny noises and the cruise control stopped working. I didn't know what to do. Normally my dad handled these things for me, but being an out-of-state student made that impossible now that I'm in college. I heard hadard of Dora's Auto from some friends and through the Kansan, so I decided to give them a call. I'm so glad I did! They were great! They were very nice and super understanding.
What impressed me most, was that they offered to call my dad and consult with him every step of the way. Now, I always take my car to Don't!

Sophomore carries team to victory
Brian Heere excels at the plate and in the field to help defeat Nebraska at Hoglund Ballpark
ANST
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
Freshman pitcher Le Ridenhour pitches against Nebraska Sunday afternoon. Ridenhour pitched six innings and allowed only two runs in the Jiahawk's 9-4 victory Sunday.
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
but sophomore right fielder Brian Heere is thrusting himself into the discussion of Kansas' stars on the diamond.
It's not one of the names you hear too often when you talk about Kansas baseball — that honor is generally reserved for Tony Thompson, Buck Afenir and the pitcher of your choosing.
With an opposite-field, two-run home run — into a 22 mile-per-hour breeze, no less — in the first inning of Sunday's double-header and a run scored later in the third. Heere single-handedly provided the Jayhawks with all the offense they would need in their 8-2 rout in game one.
"That was huge," said sophomore T.J. Walz, who earned the victory in game one with 7.2 innings of work.
"It's so much better to go out and pitch with a lead. You don't have to be as perfect when you can trust your offense to produce for you."
In the process he raised his average to a team-leading .394 (though he settled to a more human .386 by the day's end).
"I had a pretty good fall, so I've just been trying to redo those things," Heere said. "Just see what I was seeing, feel what I was feeling. It's just being patient and trying to find a good pitch to hit."
After his one-man-wrecking-crew performance in Game 1, he went 2-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, a double and a homer—it had to be expected that Heere would fall back to earth a little bit. Or not.
He hit a game-tying double
in the sixth inning when the Jayhawks were staring down a 2-1 deficit and was integral in the Jayhawks' 6-4 win on both sides of the ball.
"He was unbelievable today," coach Ritch Price said. "That's as fine a performance as we've had from somebody since I've been here."
Even when he was not on the field, Heere made a difference for the Jayhawks on Sunday.
Freshman James Stanfield drove in what ended up being the winning runs with Heere standing in the on-deck circle.
"I think they were wanting to pitch to me more because Heere was behind me," Stanfield said. "They just didn't want to face him."
Heere's quiet production has gone largely unnoticed, but it hasn't fallen off Price's radar. The right fielder's "unbelievable" day
was just a microcosm of what he has done this season.
"I just marvel at his stats, and then I marvel watching him play every day." Price said. "I thought he had a chance to be a really good player, but I had no idea he'd be able to play at the level he has played at. It's been fun to watch."

victory over the Cornhuskers since 1997. It wasn't the same Nebraska team that Price had faced in the past, as recent Nebraska teams had been ravaged by the Major League draft. Regardless, it was still a step forward for the program.
"We've made really good progress," Price said. "It's a really nice feeling to get that monkey off our back."
Kansas pitched well all day Sunday, with sophomore right-hander T.J. Walz striking out a career-high 10 in game one. And although freshman right-hander Lee Ridenhour didn't have his best stuff, allowing seven hits in six-plus innings, he kept game two manageable for the Jayhawks.

notes
PAGINGTONY THOMPSON
Slugging third baseman Tony Thompson disappeared at the plate for most of the weekend, a trend that has run back all the way to last Sunday. Since his second home run last Sunday against Texas Tech, Thompson didn't have a hit in four straight games against Division 1 opponents until his final bat Sunday.
BEWARE OF THE HOG
With Sunday's sweep of Nebraska the Jayhawks improved to 21-3 in their home stadium. Hoglund Ballpark has never seen a team go above.500 in conference, but this year's Jayhawks are threatening to do just that. They stand at 10-8 with nine conference games to play."We just love playing at the Hog," sophomore Brian Hee said.
in the 8-2 game-one victory, Kansas' Big 12 record sat at 9-8. The Jayhawks stared down a game that could have brought their record to 9-9 before heading into conference power Oklahoma next weekend. So it made it all the more sweet when Kansas climbed back in game two.
"The guys like each other", Price said. "And they're playing for each other. I think that some of those rallies are a result of that energy. The difference between being 9-9
and 10-8 is off the charts."
If it weren't for Stanfield's quick turnaround from the bench to the field, Kansas might have been facing that 9-9 conference record. But Stanfield isn't surprised. And neither are his teammates.
"I have a lot of confidence in Stanfield." Heere said. "He's a good player. He did a good job at handling the pressure and taking Robby's spot."

The Capitals had trailed the series 3-1 before a pair of routs.
Capitals tied the first-round playoff series and set up a decisive Game 7 on Tuesday night in Washington.
Tortorella served a one-game suspension following a confrontation with a fan Friday during New York's 4-0 loss in Game 5 that sent the series back to Madison Square Garden. Tortorella squirted water into the crowd and threw a water bottle over the glass and into the stands.

The lajhawks set the tone on Saturday, smacking seven early hits to jump out to a 5-0 lead. Baylor didn't do itself any favors, looking like the 'Bad News' Bears in the field. The Bears committed three errors on the game, in addition to several other poor throws and miscues that Kansas capitalized on.
Baylor chipped away for a few runs off of Vertelka, and the junior hurler settled down to earn the victory. On the game Vertelka allowed only two earned runs to the Bears, who entered the day hitting .310 as a team.
Game two started shortly thereafter, with Baylor carrying a 2-1 lead into the fourth inning.
And then came the rain, with severe thunderstorms and a tornado warning putting the game on hold until Sunday morning. Ironically, the second game was originally scheduled for Sunday before the threat of inclement weather bumped it up to Saturday.
With the wind blowing hard on Sunday, Baylor came out a completely different team. The Bears extended their lead to 7-1, knocking George from the ballgame and putting Kansas into a seemingly deep hole.
But the Jayhawks fought back with four quick runs in the fifth, three coming on a towering home run from Chapple. Kansas continued to knock around Baylor ace Whitney Canion, scattering nine hits, including home runs from Clark and sophomore outfielder Liz Kocon. Ultimately though, with the winds swirling at Arrocha Ballpark, the Jayhawks were unable to keep Baylor off the scoreboard.
The Bears tallied 17 hits, a season

Bunge to retire
After 13 years as the coach of the University of Kansas softball program, Tracy Bunge announced Friday that she would be stepping down from the position at the end of this season.
Before coaching, Bunge was an All-American pitcher for the Jayhawks, a title she earned in 1986. She still co-owns the record for lowest career ERA at 0.68. Bunge said it was time for her to move on to other endeavors.
Bunge is the winningest coach in Jayhawk softball history, having earned 405 victories during her 17-year tenure. Under Bunge, the Jayhawks went to the NCAA tournament four times, won 30 games 10 times and won the Big 12 postseason title in 2006.
"This 17-year run has been a wonderful experience." Bunge said in a statement. "I will always be a Jayhawk, and will continue to support the University and the softball program. It is time for a change in my professional career, and I am eager to take on some new challenges."

Blue Jays slip by White Sox
Toronto third baseman Scott Rolen hits single that wins game
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rod Barajas had three hits for the Blue Jays, who have won eight of 11 games.
CHICAGO — Scott Rolen hit a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning, helping the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 Sunday to secure their sixth straight series win this season.
He allowed three runs and scattered eight in seven innings. Halladay had six strikeouts and walked his first batter in two starts.
Vernon Wells led off the eighth with a double off White Sox reliever Scott Linebrink (0-1). Adam Lind walked then Rolen drove in Wells.
After a shaky start, Toronto ace Roy Halladay (4-1) settled down and retired 12 of the last 14 batters he faced.
ORIOLES 8, RANGERS 5
BALTIMORE — Adam Jones hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning and Baltimore rallied for a victory.
With one out, Cesar 12turis was hit on his left foot and Brian Roberts singled to left before Jones hit an 0-1 slider from reliever Jason Jennings (0-1) into the seats in left-center to give Baltimore a
7-5 lead. Jones' third homer completed the Orioles' comeback from a 5-1 deficit.
Chris Davis, David Murphy and Hank Blalock connected for the Rangers, who lead the major leagues with 38 home runs and have hit two or more in a game 14 times this season, also most in the majors.
Danys Baez (1-1) got the victory with three hitless innings. George Sherrill worked the ninth for his fourth save.
INDIANS 4, TWINS 2
CLEVELAND — Aaron Laffey pitched into the seventh inning and rookie Tony Sipp came up with two big strikeouts, helping Cleveland avoid a three-game sweep.
Laffey (2-0) allowed two runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings.
The Indians were held to one run in each of the first two games of the series, but Ryan Garko's two-run single off Glen Perkins (1-2) in the third gave them a 4-0 lead.
It was the shortest outing of the year for Perkins, who allowed four runs in five innings.

Every Oakland starter got at least one hit and seven different players scored for the As, who won their second straight after a season-high five-game skid.
After failing to make it out of the fourth in each of his previous two starts, Eveland (1-1) allowed one run and four hits in 5 2-3 innings.

Andy Sonnanstine (0-3) has gone 11 consecutive regular-season starts without a win. The right-hander gave up 10 hits.
ANGELS 8, MARINERS 0
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Howie Kendrick homered and had a career-high four RBIs, Jered Weaver combined with two relievers on a five-hitter, and the Angels avoided a three-game sweep.
Kendrick had a pair of RBI singles in addition to his twowrun homer in the second inning against former Angels left-hander Jarrod Washburn (3-1). Washburn was charged with six runs and eight hits over 51-13 innings.
Weaver (2-1) allowed three hits over seven innings.
Juan Rivera hit his first home run of the season. Torii Hunter had three hits, including an RBI single, to raise his average to .338.

Kansas has never made the NCAA Regional tournament as a team and has only had a few individuals qualify for the tournament. Last year, junior Emily Powers qualified as an individual for the tournament. With an outstanding finish at the Big 12 tournament though, this could be the first time the Jayhawks make an appearance at the NCAA regionals.
"Meghan leads by example for the rest of the girls," O'Neil said. "She's an amazing athlete and student for the rest of the girls to look up to."
O'Neil said the selection committee for the tournament would hold a large phone conference to announce its selections sometime today. O'Neil said that the team's performance may have moved them up in the rankings but that she was not sure it would be enough to qualify them.
"I don't know what's going to happen, because we're going to be on the bubble for getting in," O'Neil said.

ROWING Jayhawks fall to ranked Gophers in Minnesota
No.20 Minnesota was too much for Kansas rowing as the teams competed in St. Paul, Minn., this weekend.
The Jayhawks' fifth Varsity Four boat won the first race of the day,驶离 out the Golden Gophers by 1.4 seconds.
However, the Gophers dominated from that point on. Minnesota won all the other races, including a 17.5-second margin of victory in the First Varsity Four.
Kansas returns to action this weekend to host Kansas State, Oklahoma and Texas in the first-ever Big 12 Conference Championship. The event will take place on Saturday at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan.

SOFTBALL Club team splits first home series with K-State
The Kansas club softball team played its first-ever home games this weekend, splitting a two-game series with Kansas State at Broken Arrow Park.
Kansas won the first game 8-7 in extra innings but lost 4-0 in the second game. The team was coming off a two-game sweep of Nebraska last weekend in Lincoln, Neb.
Afton Gray, Fort Scott freshman, pitched all eight innings in game one, and Stephanie Blevins, Anthony junior, made several diving catches in the outfield over the course of the doubleheader and had a key hit in the eighth inning to help preserve the victory.
This is the inaugural season for the club softball team. The team is 3-1 this spring against other club teams and 3-2 overall. Kansas' next games are a rematches with Nebraska on Saturday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Clinton Lake Sport Complex.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brandon Inge is back at third base, and it's paying off at the plate.
Inge hit a two-run homer and Armando Galarraga pitched six solid innings to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on Sunday.
Inge connected in the second, driving a 1-1 pitch from Sidney Ponson out to left with Jeff Larish aboard after a single. Inge is hitting .323 with seven homers and 17 RBIs after slumping to a .205 average, 11 homers and 51 RBIs last year.
/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"He's back at third base where he wants to be," manager Jim Leyland said. "It wasn't his fault last year. It's just the way it worked out. He knows he's going to be in there everyday for the most part. He's comfortable and I think it's helped him a lot.
"He's in a good groove. I don't want to make a big deal out of his home runs. I just want him to hit the ball hard. If he does that, he'll hit some home runs because he's real strong."
Inge, who started 56 games at catcher and 33 at third last year, has reached base in 18 consecutive games, the longest streak by a Tiger to begin the season since he started 2005 by reaching in the first 21 games.
"I'm not even trying to hit home runs," Inge said. "I don't even think about the outcome. I'm trying to get prepared as the pitch is coming and let everything I worked on in this offseason take over, like the hand position and to take over naturally, not thinking about it about it all. I say the mindset is the best thing I got going right now."
Galarraga (3-0) allowed one run and three hits, struck out seven and walked five.
"It was tough." Gar拉瑶said.
"I'm not happy at all, too many
walks and getting behind hitters.
I'm happy because we won."
Jose Guillen singled in Coco Crisp in the third but the Royals left the bases loaded when Alberto Callaspo grounded out. Kansas City is 2-for-17 with the bases loaded this season.
Bobby Seay, Ryan Perry and Fernando Rodney held the Royals to one run and one hit over the final three innings to preserve the victory. Rodney gave up Mike Aviles' one-out homer in the ninth before finishing for his fourth save
in four tries.
Detroit went ahead 3-1 in the fifth. Josh Anderson, who went 3-for-3 and has hit safely in seven of his past eight games, led off with a single and stole second. Anderson moved up on Adam Everett's groundout and scored on Dane Sardinha's sacrifice fly.
"Over the course of the year, there are going to be a lot of one run, two-run games, so anytime you can manufacture runs it's huge," Anderson said. "Our pitching was phenomenal today. It was
great to get a win today because anytime you can go on the road for 12 days and finish above .500 (5-4) that's big."
Ponson (0-3) gave up three runs and six hits in eight innings. He struck out seven and walked none after walking 10 in 15 1-3 innings over his previous three starts. He threw 73 of his 107 pitches for strikes.
"I attacked the zone much better," Ponson said. "I got more strikes than balls. I just had one bad slider to Inge and it cost me
the game. It was up. I'll take this kind of start any day."
The Royals went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position in losing the final two games to the Tigers.
"The bottom line is we've got to get the big hit," manager Trey Hillman said. "We've got to get the offense going and plate some runs. It's not just one guy. We're not clicking."
Royals catcher Miguel Olivo struck out three times, bringing his total to 17 in 38 at-bats.

COMMENTARY
This team wasn't just bridge between titles
Kansas coach Bill Self strolled into the Naismith Room on the second floor of Allen Fieldhouse last October and plopped down in a seat at the podium. It was Media Day — the first opportunity for Self to discuss the 2008-2009 Jayhaws.
But before Self could even get situated and comfortable for the 30-minute briefing, he encountered his first question.
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
"Have you thought about last year at all," someone asked, referring to the 2008 National Championship team.
Five months later, Self was walking away. He had spent 20 minutes talking with reporters after Kansas' 67-62 defeat to Michigan State in the Sweet Sixteen at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
But before Self reached the doors to the Kansas locker room, he encountered his last question.
"Could it be motivation knowing that if the
It seems this is how the 2008-2009 Kansas basketball season will be remembered. It will be viewed as a bridge between one of the program's finest years in 2008 and one with similar potential in 2010.
season ended here next year, it could be a hell of a year," someone asked, referring to the fact that the 2010 Final Four would also be played at Lucas Oil Stadium.
That's a shame. Don't look at it that way. The
Because who knew the stubborn point guard from one of the worst areas of Chicago could be what Self calls "one of the greatest individual success stories?"
2008-2009 season deserves better than that. It was special in its own way. Consider it the year of surprises.
Because who knew the wiry kid with a funny Minnesotan accent from a year ago could turn into one of the nation's most imposing frontcourt forces?
Because who knew the fast-talking final piece of the 2008 recruiting class would score more points in a game and win more Big 12 Rookie of the Week awards as a freshman than Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright and Darrell Arthur ever did?
Because who knew the unheralded 23-year-old local boy would become the Jayhawks' best on-ball defender?
But the individual stories of those Jayhawks — Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich, Tyshawn Taylor and Brady Morningstar if you were lost — were not as unlikely as the season itself.
Sure, a run to the Sweet Sixteen wasn't totally unpredictable. But having a better Big 12 Conference record (14-2) than last year's national championship team (13-3) certainly was.
Obliterating a hated rival and eventual Elite Eight team, Missouri, by 25 points three weeks after losing to it certainly was.
The lasting memory should always be that this team won another conference championship. Kansas' fifth straight. It's 52nd in school history.
This season doesn't need to be grouped with last year or next year. Self knows it. And he showed it in his response to the last question of the season.
"It was a hell of a year this year," Self said.

After sharing the Danny Manning "Mr. Jayhawk" Award, both Sherron Collins, Chicago, Ill., junior gaurd, and Cole Aldrich, Bloomington, Minn., sophomore announced they would return for another year at Kansas during the men's basketball banquet. Collins and Aldrich said they were returning to try to win another national championship.
Duo decides not to test NBA
BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
By the time Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins took the stage at Monday night's awards banquet, the only question left was who would go first.
It was the perfect setting. In front of a packed house, Aldrich and Collins stepped behind the lectern as co-Danny Manning "Mr. Jayhawk" Award winners.
It would have been cruel to end the ceremonies any other way, so Aldrich stepped to the mic and took his cue.
"The past two years has been absolutely a blast, and I can't wait till next year when we try to go for one more," Aldrich said.
Collins' words were a foregone conclusion, but they still triggered a standing ovation.
"It was a great year, and like Cole said, I'm going to be back next year," Collins said.
It turns out the decision wasn't too difficult for Kansas' top two players.
Coach Bill Self told both men he would gather information to help them decide whether to test the NBA draft, but neither of them waited for it.
"Cole said, 'Why would I test if I know I'm coming back?' Self said.
Collins informed Self of his decision while the two were in Detroit accepting awards from the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Self recalled the encounter and said he was expecting bad news.
"When I told coach, the first thing he told me was, 'Are you serious?' Collins said. "Then he asked me if I was okay seven times and then he told me he had the goose-bumps."
Aldrich said he knew what his decision would be as soon as the season was over, but opted to take a little time to relax before meeting with Self.
"We talked a little bit after the season and I said, 'I'm having way too much fun,' Aldrich said. "I really want to do a lot of things that very few people have done."
Collins and Aldrich spoke to each other often after the season, but the conversation was about doing what's best for each person. Collins said neither of them knew what the other was going to say in their meeting.
"We're always actively recruiting, but as you guys know we just signed our two most important recruits right now." Self said.
Self estimated that he sewed up 12-15 wins with their return.
The decision for both Collins and Aldrich came down to a lot of things. Family, degrees and the college experience were popular answers.
But most importantly, the two men standing in front of that crowd want to win a second national championship.
"Sherron and I talked about this," Aldrich said. "We could be those special names in Kansas history that all the little kids look up to."

Markieff starts season right
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
"He probably got me confused with somebody else," Self said. "Probably some young lady on campus — he texted her and thought it was me probably. I don't remember getting any texts about that."
Markieff Morris was so nervous before his first game as a Jayhawk on Sunday that he sent a text message to Kansas coach Bill Self asking for help.
At least, Morris, freshman forward, thought he did. Self wasn't so sure.
Whoever received Morris' text message must have responded with something inspirational. Morris overcame his freshman anxiety in Kansas' 71-56 victory against UMKC and recorded 15 rebounds and seven points off the bench.

Morris said he didn't expect his case of the jitters to flare up as bad in tonight's game against Florida Gulf Coast. But if they do, he could always send a text message to somebody.

Collins, defense dominate
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Sherron Collins missed more than five three-pointers in a row in the shootaround before the game against Florida Gulf Coast.
He rarely missed one again for the rest of the night. Collins shot 4-for-6 from three-point range and scored a careerhigh 25 points in the 85-45 Jayhawk victory against the Eagles.
"I just knew I was hot," Collins said. "Mostly everything I was putting up was going in. I felt pretty good shooting it."
Florida Gulf Coast reserved for themselves all the missed shots once the game began.
The Eagles converted on only 13 of their 55 shots from the field.
"They missed shots," Self said. "But any time a team shoots that percentage, you must have done some things defensively."

BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor and Washington guard Isaiah Thomas used to be friends.
Taylor, a freshman, played against Thomas a couple times over the years in AAU tournaments. But in the Jayhawks' 73-54 victory against the Huskies, Taylor may have severed their relationship permanently.
With four minutes to go in the first half, Thomas stole a Taylor pass and sprinted down the court all alone to attempt a layup. Only Taylor caught him and swatted the shot attempt toward the Jayhawk band behind the basket.
"I thought he was going to dunk it, so I kind of slowed down," Taylor said. "But when I saw that he was jumping up slow I said, 'I have to get that.'"
Sprint Center erupted in cheers and high fives.
And the game was never the same.
Cole Aldrich set off the first few explosions in the first half. He elevated over Washington senior forward Jon Brockman to throw down an easy dunk midway and held Brockman to seven points.

BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Consider the CBE Classic Championship Game a role reversal of the 2008 NCAA Championship Game for Kansas.
In the 89-81 Syracuse overtime victory, Kansas led for more than 35 minutes of regulation. But the Jayhawks failed to put the Orange away by missing key free throws late in the game.
This time, Syracuse sophomore guard Jonny Flynn made the game-tying three-pointer as time expired in the second half. This time, it was the Jayhawks who couldn't overcome the shot in overtime.
Similar to last year's national championship, the game had practically ended when it reached overtime. But this time Kansas was on the losing end.
"Everybody just lost their poise at that point," freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "Everybody - the whole team."

Brady Morningstar is all business all the time.
Brady Morningstar is all business all the time. Morningstar, a sophomore guard, keeps a straight face when he runs through the tunnel after he hears his name called in the Kansas starting lineup. He takes pre-game warm-ups seriously and never jokes around with teammates while stretching or shooting. When he hits a big shot, Morningstar's first thought is to get back on defense.
He knocked down a career-high of them. Morningstar shot seven-of-nine from the field and made six three-pointers. Morningstar wasn't sure if he had ever made that many three-pointers in a game, even in high school
"It was good," Morningstar said. "I'm just glad my teammates were able to get me open shots and I knocked them down."
But even Morningstar couldn't help but show a slight smile after his 21-point, seven-rebound performance in Kansas' 85-53 victory against Coppin State.
or during a scrimmage.
He certainly never compiled a game like this one at Kansas. His previous career-highs were one three-pointer, six points and four rebounds.
Kansas coach Bill Self knew Morningstar's breakout would come during this game. Heck, Self ordered it.
After watching the film of Tuesday's 89-83 defeat to Syracuse, Self decided Morningstar needed to be more involved in the offense. He gave the normally defensive-minded Morningstar a new assignment for the game against Coppin State.
"I told Brady I wanted him to shoot every time he was open." Self said. "And he did."
Morningstar connected on his first four three-point attempts in the first half. His efficiency helped the layhawks cruise to a 34-5 lead with six minutes left in the first half.
"It's time to go out there and play and to hit shots and to help my team win," Morning-star said. "And tonight, I felt like I took a step forward."

Jayhawks claw way to victory
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Freshman forward Marcus Morris tried to explain Kansas' 87-60 victory against Kent State.
Marcus Morris, who finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds, attempted to make a sense of a game where 46 fouls were called on the two teams combined. The words weren't coming to him.
He wanted to tell everyone exactly what happened in the scrum under the basket four minutes into the second half that resulted in a flagrant foul and ejection of his twin brother, Markieff. But he didn't have a clear view of the altercation while it happened.
On this night, the scratch above Marcus' right eye told the story of the game better than he — or anyone else — could.
"I got scratched," Marcus said. "They were playing very physical, and I think we were playing very physical, too."
It turned into a game devoid of any pace on the floor in the second half.
It was ugly.

Tyshawn Taylor turned and looked straight at the end of the Kansas bench after he threw down a one-handed dunk with four minutes left in Kansas' 100-79 victory against New Mexico State.
Taylor, a freshman guard, wanted to make sure Mario Little saw the play.
Little, an injured junior guard, teased Taylor repeatedly in practice Tuesday.
Little told Taylor he didn't think he could actually dunk. Taylor promised to prove him wrong.
"I told him I was going to show it," Taylor said. "I did."
Twice. Three minutes before, Taylor drove the lane for a two-handed jam. The two dunks were merely the exclamation points to add to the end of Taylor's career-night.

Reed helps bail out Hawks
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
Call Tyrel Reed a bondsman, because he's becoming accustomed to bailing Kansas out of close games.
Three days after helping Kansas escape from New Mexico State, Reed did it again in an 86-62 victory against Jackson State.
The Tigers stuck with the Jayhawks for most of the game and trailed only 48-42 with 15 minutes remaining. Reed, a sophomore guard, proceeded to score eight points — off of two three-pointers and two free throws — in the next minute and a half to put the game out of the Tigers' reach.
Still, there was plenty of frustration. Aldrich, a sophomore center, played only 10 ineffective minutes because he got into foul trouble. Collins, a junior guard, missed his first seven shots.
"It was a pretty stale performance," coach Bill Self said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. As the Massachusetts players rushed onto the floor at the Sprint Center in celebration, Sherron Collins lay there face down and motionless.

Collins, a junior guard, didn't want to get up. He had no desire to look at what was happening above him, where the Minutemen congratulated each other with chest bumps and the scoreboard read Massachusetts 61 Kansas 60.
"I got up there and I thought it was in," Collins said. "It just came out."
Sophomore Cole Aldrich sits stunned on the floor with junior Sherron Collins laying on his stomach. Coach Bill Self blamed Kansas' loss on poor execution.
Collins hurt. Less than 10 seconds earlier, he missed a left-handed layup in traffic underneath the basket that would have given Kansas the victory.
But it wasn't the final moment. Sophomore guard Conner Teahan grabbed the rebound on the left block with three seconds remaining and three Minutemen surrounded him.
Teahan hesitated. He didn't get a shot off
and the ball was knocked away. As players from both teams scrambled for the ball, the buzzer sounded.
"It had no chance to go in my perspective," Self said. "At least for me, I didn't think we executed. I didn't think it was good judgment on the last play."

PUSSION, ALEE - The wrong guy came out. Kansas coach Bill Self wanted all his starters on the bench at the end of an 84-67 Arizona rout at the McKale Memorial Center. He sent in senior center Matt Kleinmann to replace the final starter left on the court, freshman forward Markieff Morris, as the final seconds ticked off the scoreboard.

TUCSON, Ariz. — The wrong guy came out.
Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich had no reason to deny it - they both thought about the 61-60 loss to Massachusetts a lot during the past week.
When practices were hard, Collins remembered how his final shot bounced off the rim with seconds to go. Aldrich noticed how disappointed his teammates were and wondered how different it would be if Collins' left-handed layup went in.
After combining for 17 points and 12 rebounds in the first half, the Morris twins mustered only two points and two rebounds combined in the final 20 minutes.
It was a fitting end to the second half for the Jayhawks. Kansas was frustrated, confused and blown out in the final 20 minutes.
"I guess I don't have any word for it," sophomore center Cole Aldrich said. "It wasn't pretty."

Then came a 71-59 victory against Temple where everything went back to normal for Kansas.
Collins smiled and took it all in.
"It was a bounce-back game," Collins said. "We needed a win."

Kansas coach Bill Self allowed his players to return home for three days to celebrate Christmas with their families last week. For Cole Aldrich, the break came at the perfect time.
Aldrich went back to Bloomington, Minn., a day after struggling with only 10 points and four rebounds in an 84-67 defeat to Arizona. He didn't let his performance ruin the holiday, but Aldrich kept thinking about basketball.
Aldrich and Kansas certainly looked refreshed Tuesday as they breezed past Albany in a 79-43 victory. Aldrich responded from his rough game against Arizona with 20 points, six rebounds and three blocks.
"It was a nice time to get away and see some familiar faces and hang out with the family and whatnot." Aldrich, a sophomore center, said. "And try to get our minds right again."
"I'm happy with the way I played," Aldrich said. "Mostly, I'm happy with the way the whole team played. We played pretty well tonight."

"We really didn't have an answer for Collins." Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said. "Collins did whatever he wanted out there."

Defensive effort frustrates Self

Freshman forward Marcus Morris attempts to block a shot by a Siena player. Coach Bill Self said his team turned in a horrible performance on the defensive end.
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Kansas was unstoppable early, complacent in the middle and resilient late.
That was enough to beat Siena 91-84. But not enough to please Kansas coach Bill Self.
"We were horrible defensively," Self said. "That was a bad defensive team playing tonight."
Self described the performance by both teams as "good offensive basketball". Problem is that's not the style Self, a defensive coach, prefers.
Self wants his team to pester opponents through guarding them tough. He expects Kansas (11-3) to lockdown defensively if it gets an early 20-point lead. And that's exactly what the Jayhawks failed to do against the Saints.
For the first time since the Arizona defeat two weeks ago, Kansas trailed an opponent. Four minutes into the game, Siena led 9-5 before Kansas erupted during a six-minute stretch and went on a 25-1 run.
Junior guard Sherron Collins and sophomore center Cole Aldrich — who else? —
"I just think we shared the ball really well, we finished," Collins said. "And Cole carried us a lot."
That was a theme throughout. Aldrich finished with a career-high 24 points and also had 13 rebounds and four blocks.
"The biggest thing about scoring 24 was just hitting the offensive boards hard and trying to get those easy points like I try to do every time," Aldrich said. "And just the way they set it up."
starred in what appeared to be a first half runaway. Aldrich grabbed numerous offensive boards and added three points. Collins hit an open three-pointer in the middle of the run and recorded two assists.
Siena started to chip away at the imposing 30-10 Kansas lead immediately after a timeout. By halftime, Siena was only behind 51-38. With seven minutes remaining in the game, the Saints cut the lead down to 69-65.
"The biggest disappointment tonight was we broke down defensively," Collins said. "Transition, we didn't do a good job slowing them down."

Jayhawks stumble against Spartans
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
EAST LANSING, Mich. — In basketball, there are runs. And then, there are runaways.
Michigan State ran away from Kansas in its 75-62 victory by outscoring the Jayhawks 19-1 during a 10-minute stretch in the first half. Despite Jayhawk rallies in the second half that cut the deficit to as low as nine points, they could never recover from trailing 37-18 at halftime.
"We just tried to keep chipping at it, chipping at it and it worked", sophomore center Cole Aldrich said. "But that first half — it was just too much for us."
Kansas coach Bill Self felt confident before the game and four minutes into it. Self thought his team would hang with No. 8 Michigan State (13-2) and have a chance to win at the end. At the first media timeout, Kansas (11-4) led 11-6.
Reality started to crash as hard as the snow
was falling in the blizzard outside the Breslin Center. Michigan State sophomore guard Kalin Lucas, who finished with a team-high 22 points, ignited his team with two three-pointers over the next few minutes.
"The rest of the half, they were terrific," Self said. "And we played about as poorly as we could play."
Kansas failed to make a field goal for the next 10 minutes. Aldrich botched two alley-oop dunks on passes from junior guard Sherron Collins. Sophomore guard Brady Morningstar bricked a three-pointer.
Self was desperate. He resorted to nearly clearing his bench in the first half. At one point, three players who didn't even appear in Kansas' last game — senior center Matt Kleinmann, junior guard Tyrone Appleton and freshman forward Quintrell Thomas — were on the floor together.
"When you're playing that poorly, why don't you try something?" Self said. "That's what we tried to do and obviously, we didn't score points from it."
Self didn't use any gimmicks in the second half. If Kansas wanted came back, it was going to do it with a monster effort from Collins.
Collins roared out of the locker room with seven points in just more than three minutes to cut the lead to 39-27. Collins scored a game-high 25 points — with all but five of them coming in the second half — with eight assists and eight turnovers.
"I think we competed as hard as we've competed all year in the second half," Collins said. "We've just got to find a way to do that in the first half."
Michigan State prevented Kansas from coming any closer than 12 points away in the middle of the second half with a balanced effort.
"One thing we can take away from this game is the way we competed in the second half." Aldrich said. "I thought we came out and played really well."
But Kansas could never catch up after the head start it allowed Michigan State.

Taylor erupts for 20 points in Sunflower Showdown
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Kansas coach Bill Self thought Tyshawn Taylor might have contracted a dreaded case of the freshman slump. Taylor felt like he had lost confidence.
Collins knew all that talk was nonsense. Collins, who says Taylor is almost like a little brother, expected him to break out. Collins was right. Taylor scored 20 points and had four rebounds, three assists and two steals to lead Kansas to an 87-71 victory against Kansas State in its Big 12 Conference opener.
The freshman point guard had only scored 10 points with two assists and four turnovers in Kansas' last two games. Everyone seemed to be worried about Taylor. Except junior guard Sherron Collins.
"I think this game put Tyshawn on the map," Collins said. "Everyone is going to have to respect him."
If the question before the game was who will
emerge as Kansas' third option behind Collins and sophomore center Cole Aldrich, Taylor gave a resounding answer.
Collins said Self challenged the Jayhawks to get off to a fast start by telling them in practice that the Wildcats would come out and "punk" them early. It was the other way around.
The Jayhawks jumped out to an 18-0 lead to start the game behind 13 combined points from Taylor, Collins and Aldrich.
Taylor was the primary reason why Kansas State never took the lead. Among his brightest moments was a blocked three-point attempt by Kansas State's Fred Brown that led to junior guard Mario Little's first field goal at Kansas on the other end.
"When we hit them with it, they were just surprised," Collins said. "They couldn't counter it very well."
His aggressiveness paid off as he got to the free-throw line for 13 shots. Taylor made nine of them.
"I just felt like I had to step up," Taylor said.

BOULDER, Colo. — It counts as a road victory.
In the record book, Kansas' 73-56 victory against Colorado was its first victory away from home this season. Sherron Collins does not care about the record book.
"It really doesn't feel like a road win," Collins, a junior guard, said. "We know we're on the road, but our fans here were great."
Kansas coach Bill Self estimated that 6,000 people out of the announced attendance of 10,212 were Kansas fans. A number of them held up signs proclaiming Colorado's home court as "Allen Fieldhouse West."

Jayhawks out-tough Aggies
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Kansas coach Bill Self and his players love to talk about toughness.
They swear it's more than a sports cliché but sometimes struggle to define exactly what they mean by the term. Sophomore center Cole Aldrich won't have that problem anymore.
If someone asks, Aldrich will reference
Kansas' 73-53 victory against Texas A&M. To Aldrich, it embodied everything he means by "toughness."
"We just kept going at it. When balls were on the ground, we were diving for them. We were trying to fight with them," Aldrich said. "We did a good job today."
And it started at the beginning. The Jayhawks welcomed their first Big Monday game of the year by, well, making big plays. Junior guard Sherron Collins hit two three-pointers to start the game as Kansas ran out to an 18-4 lead.
"We just kept going at it. When balls were on the ground, we were diving for them."
The pummeling continued as junior guard Mario Little scored seven points in three minutes to extend the lead to 30-10. The Jayhawks kept pounding the Aggies with the intensity of a boxer determined to make his opponent suffer for an entire 12 rounds. Texas A&M barely landed any counter-punches.
"We just tried to give them the first hit," Aldrich said. "We knew they were going to try
COLE ALDRICH Sophomore center
to come out and hit us. We just tried to come out really strong and I think we did a really good job of that."
Little specifically. He recorded 15 points and was 6-for-6 from the field in only 14 minutes of playing time as he continues to recover from injuries in his lower left leg and left hand.
"That's basically what I've been doing all my life," Little said. "I've just been a scorer. I'm big enough to post some guys, and I can
step out."
A 17-point lead after 20 minutes didn't satisfy Little. It didn't satisfy any of the jayhawks.
"That was our main focus," Little said. "We're just trying to — once we get people down — keep them down and not let them back in and make it a game."
As they came out for the second half, Collins — who had 16 points, seven assists and three
steals — clapped his hands together and energized his teammates.
Allowing a possible comeback was not an option. Aldrich, who finished with 16 points and eight rebounds, scored 10 points down low in the second half. Freshman forward Marcus Morris, who scored 10 points, knocked down two three-pointers in less than a minute.
"It was a complete game," Self said. "Probably about as complete as we've been on both ends."

AMES, Iowa — Rap blared, Sherron Collins bellowed and the rest of the Jayhawks cheered.
Kansas' locker room on the southwest side of Hilton Coliseum got a little rowdy after its 82-67 victory against Iowa State. That was no surprise. Not after Kansas started Big 12 Conference play 4-0 to establish itself as one of the conference's main contenders.
"It feels like it's coming together," Collins, a junior guard, said. "We're finding out about ourselves. We're not there yet, but we're finding an identity."
Collins is the largest part of that identity. He tied a career-high with 26 points and added five assists and four rebounds in a contest where Kansas never trailed.
Arguably, Collins compiled the best game of his career. Undoubtedly, Collins put on the second best performance of the game. But the day belonged to Iowa State forward Craig Brackins.
Brackins, a sophomore, scored 42 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. He was two points away from breaking the Big 12 scoring record.

BY CASE KEEFER

Kansas coach Bill Self has a theory about talented teams.
Self says teams with "really good players" — like the jayhawks — can win games in two different ways. Preferably, they play great and cruise to victory. If not, they play poorly and are forced to make something happen late when it matters. There's not much in between.
For the second straight game, Kansas used the second option. It resulted in a sluggish 66-61 victory against Colorado in Allen Fieldhouse.

Scuffle sparks Jayhawks
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer.kansan.com
LINCOLN, Neb. — Kansas coach Bill Self said it was nothing.
Self thought a loose ball scuffle between junior guard Mario Little and Nebraska guard Cookie Miller with nine minutes remaining in Kansas' 68-62 victory at the Devaney Center was meaningless. Junior guard Sherron Collins disagreed.
"That was the biggest thing," Collins said. "When someone tries to punk us and do something like that, that's when we come out fighting."
Self and Collins both have evidence to support their opinions. Self would say the game wasn't decided until eight minutes later when Collins hit four consecutive free throws in
the final 30 seconds to put the game out of Nebraska's reach.
Collins pointed out that it was 44-44 at the time of the mix-up. From then on, Kansas outscored Nebraska 13-7.
But what exactly happened? No punches were thrown. The referees called no fouls. What triggered the officials and Kansas assistant coaches to come out on the floor to separate the players after Little and Miller tangled for the ball at the top of the key? The Jayhawks say it was Miller.
"All I'm saying is he was talking." Little said.
"I felt very fortunate that we were only down five at halftime," Self said. "They dominated the first half."
The first half belonged to the Cornhuskers. They were ahead by as many as 13 points and held the Jayhawks scoreless for a four-minute stretch in the middle of the half.

Sherron Collins smiles a lot these davs
Collins, junior guard, might to try to hide it, but he can't stop. The grin that stretches across Collins' face keeps reappearing.
It comes at all different times. When Collins makes a jump shot or drives to the basket, he's not afraid to show his joy. He beams when reflecting on last year's national championship team. Ask him about his new role on this year's Kansas team and that's when his smile becomes as wide as the Sears Tower in his native Chicago is tall.
"That's just me," Collins said. "It's my personality, and I just like to smile."
And who can blame him? Collins has responsibilities for the Jayhawks that no player has possessed in nearly half a decade. For most of coach Bill Self's six-year tenure at Kansas, his teams have defined sharing success. Players took an equal amount of shots. Go-to guys filled the roster.
Not anymore. Not with this year's team. The Jayhawks don't have leaders. They have a leader. Everyone on the team knows whom to look toward when they need instruction. It's no secret who will control the game during vital possessions. Guess who.
"Sherron is the guy with us," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's his team. That's how I want it."
--than two minutes remaining.
A picture of Collins' smile is immortalized in every Kansas fan's head. It even graced the cover of magazines and newspapers.

Collins has called that moment — when he launched the basketball into the air at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio at the end of Kansas' 75-68 national championship victory against Memphis — one of the best of his life. Collins played a key role in the game, scoring 11 points and stealing an in-bounds pass and making a three-pointer seconds later to cut the Jayhawk deficit to six with less

"I went through a lot of injuries and tough times this year," Collins said. "I think I've dealt with it pretty good and stayed positive."
In the six months after the game, Collins reflected fondly on his memories of the championship. He watched the film of the game three times. Perhaps the off-court turmoil during that span prevented him from watching it more.
The district attorney cleared Collins of criminal charges later in the summer. The accuser dropped the civil case two weeks ago. Collins said he couldn't wait to forget about it and start to focus solely on basketball.
While recovering from surgery and visiting his ill father in Chicago, Collins received more bad news. A Douglas Country judge ordered Collins to pay more than $75,000 by default to a woman who accused him of assault in a Jayhawker Towers elevator in June.
No less than two weeks after winning the championship, Collins underwent arthroscopic knee surgery. He played through the pain in his left knee all last year knowing it would have to be taken care of right away in the off-season.
Even that, however, seemed difficult at the end of the summer. Collins showed up for the first day of practice before Kansas' Labor Day weekend trip to Canada for three exhibition games out of shape and overweight.
Self chastised Collins to the media. The coach openly questioned if Collins could become the leader the lajwhaws needed.
Collins got the message. He didn't hold it against Self for calling him out. Collins said he deserved it. Less than a month later, Self's comments about Collins changed to phrases such as "model citizen" and "great leader."
Collins worked hard to regain his standing with Self. Now, he's not only at the weight he wants to be — 200 pounds — but also in the mind-set he wants to be.
"I'm 100 percent fine," Collins said. "Nothing is bothering me. I'm good."
--and tell them it's for the better in the long run. He reminds them of the benefits. He points to last year's National Championship for reference.
If he played poorly in practice or struggled in a game, Collins found it easy to get down on himself during his first two years at Kansas. But veteran Kansas guards Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers would always help him through it.
Collins would frown.
"Sherron is the guy with us. It's his team. That's how I want it."
Collins is using their example and applying it to his situation this season.
"Last year, I was the one asking all the questions," Collins said. "Now, I'm answering them all."
Self says he has to be tougher on this year's team, which is filled with seven newcomers, so they understand the expectations. Collins has developed a knack for spotting young players who are disappointed after a rough practice.

sure everyone is on the same page."
"He doesn't let it seem like it to him; Travis Releford, freshman guard, said.
But Collins provides far more than practice support to his teammates. When freshman forward Markieff Morris was nervous before the first game, Collins calmed him down.
He encouraged junior college transfer guard Tyrone Appleton while he recovered from a
hip flexor injury. Collins has become inseparable from freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor and considers him a "brother." Collins spends time specifically with Taylor helping to improve his game.
"He's been through it," Taylor said. "When I'm frustrated a little bit, he talks me through it a lot. He helps me a lot."
---
During the first few games of the season, Collins looked just as much like an orchestra director at a point guard on the floor.
His arms flailed in different directions to tell his teammates where to go on the court. Collins yelled out instructions. He even ran over to defend sophomore guard Tyrel Reed after a Florida Gulf Coast player intentionally fouled Reed by pulling him down to the court.
The two games served as an illustration of how much Collins' teammates mean to him. It's just as clear how much Collins means to them.
"He's the best point guard in the country,"
Brady Morningstar, sophomore guard, said.
They all believe in him. They all think Collins is the one who can lead Kansas to the top of the college basketball world.
Even Self. The coach who doubted Collins' leadership ability three months ago now describes the upcoming Kansas season as "Sherron's Show." Self said Collins could take up to 20 shots per game.
"I don't know about the 20 shots a game thing," Collins said. "But I'm glad he gives me the freedom to go get a shot anytime I want to or go get something going."
When Kansas needs Collins to be more aggressive offensively, he says it won't be problem. Collins will take the majority of the shots. It's what Self wants him to do, which greatly contrasts with what Kansas teams have done in the past.
"It's been a different guy every night," Self said. "Now more than ever, if Sherron doesn't play good, there's a better chance of us not looking good."
So far, Self hasn't had to worry about that. Collins's smile tells the whole story.

Morris twins key to victory in Waco
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
WACO, Texas — They do everything together.
Freshman forwards Marcus and Markiefi Morris wear the same clothes, eat at the same places and take the same classes. So it's only appropriate that the Morris twins both compiled breakout games in a 75-65 Kansas victory against Baylor at the Ferrell Center.
"Coach always groups us together and says if one of us plays good, the other plays good and if one of us plays bad that means we both played bad," Marcus said. "Today, he told us we played awesome."
Marcus scored 13 points and had six rebounds. Markieff added nine points, nine rebounds and two blocks. More importantly, they combined for 11 points during a 16-7 run at the beginning of the second half that separated the Jayhawks from the Bears.
Markieff made the third three-pointer of
his career from the top of the key to cap off the run and put Kansas ahead 43-33. When Baylor coach Scott Drew called a timeout immediately afterward, Marcus ran out on the court to congratulate his brother with a chest bump.
"When they're getting hyped," junior guard Sherron Collins said, "there isn't any limit to what we can do."
The game was never the same after the twins' energetic start to the second half. Although Baylor went on a 9-0 run over the next three minutes to cut the lead to three, it never got any closer than that to beating Kansas for only the second time in 15 all-time games.
The victory improved Kansas to 7-0 in the Big 12 Conference and 18-4 overall, but this was about more than that. This was about the Jayhawks playing their best game of the season.
And it all started the way Kansas coach Bill Self wanted it to — with defense. The Jayhawks held Baylor's leading scorer, senior
guard Curtis Jerrells, to four points on 0-for-7 shooting from the field.
The lajahawks ran to the locker room clapping after the first half. Despite trailing for most of the half, Collins tossed in a floater at the buzzer to give Kansas a 30-28 lead.
All five Jayhawk starters scored at least four points in the opening half. But their most impressive accomplishment came on — where else? — the defensive end.
Baylor ranks third in the Big 12 in scoring and prefers to push the pace early. Kansas wouldn't allow it.
The Morris twins were key. Despite Baylor's lineup of speedy guards, Marcus and Markieff were able to hold their own and contribute to the Jayhawks' defensive effort.
Then came the second half where Marcus and Markieff took over. Together.
"If he's doing good, I'm going to try to match his intensity," Markieff said. "I'll pick up his slack and he'll pick up my slack. We talk about that."

Self looks past positives, focuses on shortcomings
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
He had enough choices.
Kansas coach Bill Self could have focused on a number of positives that transpired for his team in a 78-67 victory against Oklahoma State.
Option A: For the first time this season, junior guard Mario Little led the team in scoring with 13 points.
"I did?" Little asked. "About time."
Option B: Sophomore center Cole Aldrich recorded a career-high 18 rebounds — the most by a Jayhawk since Wayne Simien had 20, four years ago against Kansas State.
"It's tough," Aldrich said. "It takes a lot out of you to get 18 boards."
Option C: Junior guard Sherron Collins held Oklahoma State's Byron Eaton to eight points on 2-of-6 shooting, preventing a repeat of last season when the Cowboys beat the Jayhawks 61-60 behind Eaton's career-high 26 points.
"We just weren't going to let that happen," Collins said. "Especially not in our house."
So, which did Self choose after the victory that improved Kansas to 8-0 in Big 12 Conference play and increased its home court winning streak to 37 games?
None of the above.
"We finished the game miserably," Self said. "The last taste I have in my mouth is how we finished the game."
The Jayhawks couldn't have started much better. They stormed out to a 22-12 lead eight minutes into the game behind two three-pointers from Collins. Oklahoma State never trimmed the deficit below 10.
After Travis Releford threw down an alley-oop from Collins with nine minutes remaining, Kansas had its biggest lead at 64-44.
From there, the Cowboys outscored the Jayhawks by nine and made four three-pointers.

Mizzou comeback burns sloppy Jayhawks
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
COLUMBIA, Mo. — No matter how imminent a Jayhawk victory appeared at Mizzou Arena, Kansas coach Bill Self always had a feeling it would end like this.
Missouri's 62-60 victory was far from a surprise to him. Self didn't dream of fans clad in gold and black rushing Norm Stewart Court or predicted Missouri guard Zaire Taylor's game-winning shot, but Kansas' turnovers certainly warned Self it might be coming.
Kansas committed 27 turnovers. Self credited that for causing Kansas (19-5, 8-1) to drop its first Big 12 Conference game of the season.
"Obviously, that was a big deal," Self said.
"We did a pitiful job — pitiful job — of handling any kind of pressure."
It was extra frustrating to the Jayhawks because of how well they followed the outline of winning a conference road game.
half — Missouri went on two separate 8-0 runs without taking the lead or tying the game.
They took control early,leading by as many as 14 points in the first half. They weathered Missouri runs in the middle of the second
"We didn't play defense," junior guard Sherron Collins said. "There's not much else to say."
Sophomore center Cole Aldrich finished with 15 rebounds and five blocks, but only eight points on eight shots. Self thought Aldrich's offensive inefficiency wasn't his fault.
"Our players did a real good job guarding Cole because they didn't get him the ball." Self said. "That was frustrating."
It all came down to Missouri's final possession. Zaire Taylor had the ball on the right wing against sophomore guard Tyrel Reed.

"He shot-faked me and went around me," Reed said.
Taylor released. The shot was good with less than two seconds remaining to play.
Morningstar rocketed an in-bounds pass the length of the floor to Aldrich, who heaved a 10-foot buzzer beater. It clanked off the backboard. No good.
"It's going to be one of those games that lingers for the longest time," Aldrich said.

Junior guard Sherron Collins fights off two Kansas State defenders to maintain possession with time running out. The Jayhawks overcame a 16-point first-half deficit to defeat the Wildcats 85-74.
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
MANHATTAN — Cole Aldrich rarely shows emotion on the court.
But Aldrich, a sophomore center, couldn't help it after he made a made a shot under the basket while being fouled near the end of an 85-74 victory against Kansas State.
The only thing more surprising than Aldrich's outburst was the fact that Kansas coach Bill Self didn't have a similar reaction. Self has complained all season that Kansas didn't pass the ball to Aldrich when the game was on the line.
He flexed, yelled and turned around to greet junior guard Sherron Collins with a chest bump.
He couldn't complain Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum. The Jayhawks relied on their big man to will them to victory.
"It was a big play." Aldrich said. "It got me excited."
Aldrich's three-point play that inspired
Aldrich led the Jayhawks with 21 points, seven rebounds and a block.
"We couldn't get the ball into our offense for a while so we just said, 'Hey, we're going to bring everyone high and throw it over the top," Self said. "And he delivered."
his uncharacteristic celebration came in the middle of a two-minute stretch in which he scored seven points. Before Aldrich's takeover, K-State trailed only 67-65 with 5 minutes and 30 seconds remaining. After it, the Wildcats were never able to cut it to a one-possession game again.
At its peak, K-State led 30-14 after Denis Clemente blew past freshman guard Travis Releford for a layup.
"Amazing that we could come from 16 down to one at halftime," Self said.
Kansas went on a 17-2 run. The height of the stretch came when Collins floated a pass from half court down to Aldrich at the other end.
Aldrich felt a slight push on his back from freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor and knew he had to guard the ball. He leapt up and threw
"I knew it was the right pass," Collins said. "I even jumped after I threw it. I was just waiting for Cole to go get it." Collins finished with 19 points and six assists.
Moments after Collins' Iob, Clemente received a technical foul for intentionally elbowing Morningstar in the back.
down a crowd-silencing alley-oop.
Collins made both free throws and sophomore guard Tyrel Reed made a three-pointer on the possession awarded for the penalty.
"It turned out to be a pretty big play for us," Self said. Kansas did everything right in the second half.
Freshman forward Marcus Morris played a key role and finished with a career-high 15 points with seven rebounds. Most importantly, the Jayhawks went to Aldrich when it mattered.
Self said it was probably the best road victory in his tenure at Kansas. Aldrich put it another way.
"The best way to say it is, we're maturing as a team," Aldrich said. "We're growing together."

Markieff Morris had one of his better games of the season, Sherron Collins barely missed any shots and Cole Aldrich dominated as usual.
Yet none of them had much to say about Kansas' 70-53 victory against Nebraska.
Collins started to forget about the Nebraska

He could finally think about the Big Monday matchup against No. 2 Oklahoma in Norman, Okla.
"We're going to be the underdogs and that's fine with me," Collins said. "That's what even motivates us more — people think we can't win and can't go out and beat these teams."

Collins shoots Kansas past No.3 Oklahoma
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
NORMAN, Okla. — Two blue blurs raced across the floor at the Lloyd Noble Center as the buzzer sounded on Kansas' 87-78 victory against Oklahoma.
It was junior guard Sherron Collins running up the sideline smiling and freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor sprinting toward the middle of the court. Eventually, the two paths of celebration met.
They shared a quick exchange, telling each other "good game," before Collins added an extra message.
"He was like, 'Man, this is what we've been waiting for,' " Taylor said.
Collins, Taylor and the Jayhawks are done waiting now Kansas (23-5, 12-1) is in sole possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference and three victories away from winning its fifth straight Big 12 regular season championship.
The Jayhawks have Collins, Taylor and sophomore center Cole Aldrich to thank for it. Aldrich might not have had the energy to sprint across Oklahoma's gym after the game, but his presence was as important as anyone's.
After all, Aldrich recorded a career-high 20 rebounds. Taylor set a career-high with 26 points. Statisticians don't keep career-highs of big shots, but Collins would have certainly passed his.
"This was a great win," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "You don't see this too often from young kids."
But Self didn't want to take too much credit. Heck, he wasn't even the one calling the shots by the end of the game.
At least three times, Collins waved off the plays Self wanted from the bench with the game on the line. Self was helpless.
"I have no choice," Self said. "He's got the ball."
Not that Self would want it any place else. Collins reaffirmed that when he tied a career high with 26 points.
The Jayhawks appeared to be in a position where they could coast to victory with 11 minutes remaining and their lead at a game-high 20. It wasn't that easy.
Twice, the Sooners trimmed the Jayhawk lead to three points within the final five minutes.
Both times Collins refused to run the
Jayhawks' offense. He took three-point shots from the top of the key and swished them to ensure Oklahoma wouldn't get any closer.
"He feels like it's his team," Self said. "I'm really proud of him. He's been great."
Collins' biggest shot came with 2:30 remaining. The crowd had reached deafening levels after Oklahoma freshman Willie Warren — who had a team-high 23 points — swished a three-point shot to make the score 74-71.
The next possession, Collins received a pass from Taylor and made one of his own. Oklahoma never got it down to a one-possession game again.
Of course, Kansas may have never been in that position without Taylor.
Oklahoma opened the game on a 22-8 tear. At that point, Collins gathered the team and told them not to let this one slip away.
Taylor must have listened. He made three three-point shots before the end of the half to finish the first 20 minutes with 16 points. Kansas went into the locker room with a 36-29 lead.
"I told him it was his game," Self said. "He was great. Tyshawn — best game he's had in college."

Call it perfection. Call it revenge. Call it a statement.
Really, Kansas' 90-65 victory against No.11 Missouri (24-5, 11-3) was a combination of all three.
Kansas coach Bill Self said the first half, where No. 15 Kansas (24-5, 13-1) flew out to a 45-19 lead, was the best he had seen the Jayhawks play since last year's 84-66 Final Four victory against North Carolina. Junior guard Sherron Collins said the performance came out of anger of the way Kansas lost to Missouri 62-60 earlier in the season. Whatever it was, Kansas' victory put

it alone in first place in the Big 12 Conference and one game away from clinching the regular season championship.
"We expected to win," Collins said. "But who knew the score would be like this?"
Actually, freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor did. Taylor hated thinking about last month's defeat at Mizzou Arena. He said he knew Kansas was better than Missouri. He said he knew the Jayhawks would prove it Sunday.
"I thought the score was going to be like this the whole time," Taylor said. "I just felt that we were better than before to be honest with you."
That much was obvious. Kansas began to separate itself from Missouri almost immediately. Two minutes into the game, the Jayhawks trailed 4-3. That was the last time Missouri was ahead.
Collins — who scored 25 points with six assists and five rebounds in the game — keyed an 18-1 run over the next six minutes with an open three-point shot and a layup following a viper-like slither through the lane.
Alongside Collins, Taylor was the one initiating the attack. His most significant play came in the final seconds of the first half.
Collins fired Taylor the ball on the right wing and he connected with a three-point shot to make the score 45-19. Taylor felt the shot signaled that the game was over. But at halftime, Self reminded his team how they managed to let a 14-point halftime lead slip away the first time against the Tigers.
"We kind of gave one up in Columbia," sophomore center Cole Aldrich said. "Coach said, 'Hey, we're in the same predicament we were in up in Columbia.' We knew they were going to make runs."
Only the Tigers didn't. They couldn't because Aldrich made every attempt irrelevant, scoring 13 of his 19 points in the second half and also finishing with 14 rebounds.
All the layhawks were smiling after the game. They knew how important the victory was and how a number of themes surrounded it.

Jayhawks 'whipped' and routed in Lubbock
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
LUBBOCK, Texas — Kansas clinched a share of the Big 12 Conference regular season championship Wednesday. No one seemed to notice.
The Jayhawks received no trophy. They didn't celebrate. They didn't feel like the top team in the Big 12. How could they? Kansas suffered an embarrassing 84-65 defeat to Texas Tech, the 11th place team in the Big 12, at United Spirit Arena.
"Yeah, I'm ecstatic," Kansas coach Bill Self said sarcastically. "I told our guys, 'Yeah, congratulations, we win our league and get beat by 19."
But by virtue of Missouri's 73-64 victory against Oklahoma at Mizzou Arena, Kansas is assured the No.1 seed in the Big 12 Conference tournament next week in Oklahoma City. Kansas (25-5, 13-2) can also win the Big 12 outright with a victory against Texas Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks were not interested in discussing that. Why would they be? A disastrous effort from the entire team enabled Texas Tech to win only its third Big 12 game of the season.
"Everybody was just kind off of their mark tonight," sophomore center Cole Aldrich said.
Junior guard Sherron Collins, who averaged 25.5 points in two games last week, went 3-for-19 from the field for 11 points. Aldrich, who averaged 14 rebounds per game in the last four games, recorded only three rebounds to go with eight points against the Red Raiders.
Sophomore guard Brady Morningstar failed in his assignment of guarding Texas Tech's Alan Voskul, who had a career-high 35 points and nine three-point shots on his senior night. Self and freshman forward Marcus Morris ruined Jayhawk comeback attempts in the second half with technical fouls.
It was Kansas' third straight defeat at United Spirit Arena. A building Self has never won in with the Jayhawks. But their defeats in 2005 and 2007 came down to the final possessions.
In addition to Voskui's 9-for-15 performance from beyond the arc, Texas Tech went
15-for-27 as a team. Kansas was only able to limit the long-range onslaught for a nine-minute stretch from the end of the first half to the middle of the second.
Not coincidentally, that's when Kansas got back in the game. The Jayhawks trimmed the lead to 43-41 when Collins converted on a layup in traffic. They got an opportunity to tie the game for the first time on the next possession.
But Aldrich missed a layup and Morningstar, who went 1-for-7 from the field for three points, bricked a three-point attempt. From there, the Jayhawks' chances spiraled away.
Kansas cut it to a two-possession game at 60-54 with eight minutes remaining. That's when Marcus disagreed with a personal foul call on him and got a technical. Texas Tech made all four free throws resulting from Marcus' personal and technical fouls.
"We had no post presence inside. We had nobody else making shots. Our whole team, collectively, played very, very poor all around," Self said. "Coaching, execution, everything was poor. They whipped us in every capacity."

It's just that Kansas has now won five straight and seven of the last eightBig 12 titles. So it seems the situation Beebe was in Saturday had become inevitable -awarding Kansas with a conference crown.
"I'm proud to present to you yet another Big 12 Conference championship trophy." Beebe said after Kansas defeated Texas 83-73 to win the championship outright.
The conference championship was Kansas' 52nd in its 111 years of basketball. But this one was different. After losing its entire starting five and seven of its eight top players from last year's national championship team, this one was the most improbable of the bunch
Even Kansas coach Bill Self, who stressed
all year that expectations would not change because of a young roster, shared a secret about this season after the victory.
"I will tell you this: The other times I've been here, it would be a poor year if we didn't win the league," Self said. "This one, I wouldn't have thought that."
But junior guard Sherron Collins and sophomore center Cole Aldrich would have. Collins and Aldrich led the Jayhawks to a 14-2 Big 12 record, a game better than last year's national championship team, and topped it off by starring against Texas on Saturday.
Collins scored 21 points and had seven assists. Aldrich recorded his 18th doubledouble of the season with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Still, Self said his player of the game was Brady Morningstar.
The victory put Kansas alone at the top of the Big 12 standings, finishing one game ahead of Oklahoma (13-3) and two in front of Missouri (12-4).

OKLAHOMA CITY — Sherron Collins would rise, swish the three-point shot and Kansas would somehow win in the final 30 seconds.
That's what anyone who has followed Kansas this season thought when Collins, a junior guard, got an open three-point attempt with 38 seconds remaining against Baylor in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Conference tournament. Kansas trailed 67-64 at the time. It was the kind of situation Collins had shined in all season.
Only this time, Collins elevated freely from the right wing and completely missed. Air ball.
"It just got away from me. I felt it at the end when I let it go," Collins said. "I just lost it. I don't know what happened to it."
That summarizes Kansas' feelings as a whole after it lost in its first game of the Big 12 tournament to ninth-seeded Baylor 71-64 at the Ford Center. It was only the second time in the history of the tournament that the top-seeded team lost in the quarterfinal round. For the first time in four years, Kansas won't be the Big 12 tournament champion.
"You're the Big 12 champs and you've got a chance to come down here and validate your regular season." Self said, "and so not play with more energy than we did is just totally inexcusable."
And the layhawks had no explanation for it. Kansas coach Bill Self, who said the layhawks had practiced "really well" all week, was particularly astounded.
For the fourth straight game away from Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas fell behind by double digits early.
Baylor guard Curtis Jerrells gave the Bears their largest lead of 30-13 when he hit a three-pointer at the end of the shot clock with seven minutes remaining. Clearly, Baylor was playing better than its 5-11 Big 12 record. It didn't look like the No.9 seed.
"Then again," Brady Morningstar said, "we didn't look like the No.1 seed."
Morningstar blamed the defeat on himself multiple times for his defensive effort against Baylor's LaceDius Dunn, who scored 24 points and made six three-pointers.
Dunn made some key plays late in the game, but his most devastating stretch came when he scored 11 points in the opening nine minutes of the first half.
"I feel like I let them get off to a good start and let him get him off to a good start," Morningstar said. "Which hurt our team and eventually led us to lose the game."
Even when the Jayhawks were down by 17, however, there was no reason for panic. Kansas had recovered from similar double-digit deficits in road games against Kansas State and Oklahoma.
This one appeared to be on the same path. The Jayhawks trailed only 37-33 at halftime. They went ahead 58-53 with less than nine minutes remaining when freshman forward Marcus Morris made a shot under the basket.
Then, the unexplainable part of the game started. Kansas went the next five and a half minutes without scoring any points, and Baylor regained the lead at 65-58.
"We let it slip away" Collins said. "I don't think I led the team as well as I should have."
He still had a number of chances for redemption in the final minutes. Collins made a three-point shot to cut the lead to 65-64 with 2:50 remaining.
But he followed it by missing layups on the next two possessions. Then the air ball.
"The bottom line is our team is built around Sherron and Cole," Self said. "We need those two guys to perform."
Collins finished with a team-high 16 points and six assists, but shot 6-for-20 from the field. Sophomore center Cole Aldrich grabbed 14 rebounds, but had only eight points.
"I don't know what went wrong," junior guard Mario Little said. "We just stopped playing, I guess."

Junior guard Sherron Collins pounds his chest after hitting a basket. Collins led Kansas past North Dakota State with 32 points and 8 assists in the Jayhawks first-round victory.
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
MINNEAPOLIS - A one-minute stretch in the middle of the second half of Kansas 84-74 victory against North Dakota State in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament illustrated the whole game.
Sherron Collins made a 15-foot jump shot on one end of the floor. Before most fans even had a chance to look up, North Dakota State's Ben Woodside answered with a layup. Ten seconds later, Collins made a layup after flying down the court. Then, Woodside converted on a three-point play.
Forget Jayhawks against Bison. Friday at the Metrodome featured Collins versus Woodside.
"I wasn't thinking of it like that," Collins, a junior guard, said. "But it definitely looked like it and felt like it at times."
Collins finished with a career-high 32 points on 12-for-26 shooting. Woodside, a senior, recorded 37 points on 13-for-23 shooting. So yes, Woodside probably won the individual matchup.
But Woodside didn't have Cole Aldrich.
Aldrich's 23 points and 13 rebounds were the difference for the Jayhawks.
"I thought Cole and Sherron were offensively — I'm not going to say defensively — as good as either one of them had been all year," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
Collins and Aldrich, a sophomore center, dominated in spurs. Collins opened the game with 13 points in seven minutes to give Kansas an 18-17 lead it never relinquished.
North Dakota State cut it to a three-point game three times in the second half. On two of those occasions, Aldrich prevented the Bison from getting any closer with dunks.
Those moments pleased Self the most. He warned the Jayhawks at halftime that the Bison would make runs that needed to be weathered. Mission accomplished.
"I'm leaving out of here thinking we played good," Self said. "One thing that was impressive to me was how much poise we showed when the game got tight."
North Dakota State appeared to have one last gasp with two minutes remaining when Woodside hit a three-point shot to make the score 73-67. The Bison played tight defense on
the other end and forced Collins into a wild layup attempt that ricocheted off the glass.
But Aldrich caught it and slammed it down for a putback dunk while being fouled. He converted on the free throw to make it a three-point play. Score: 76-67. Game: Ended.
After the highlight-worthy play, Aldrich hummed the Sportscenter theme song into Collins' ear.
"It was really fun," Aldrich said. "It was one of those things where the ball came off at the right place and I took it and threw it in"
Woodside scored two more points before the buzzer sounded. Although Woodside's final basket meant little, it appropriately showed that Kansas found no way to slow him all day.
Self gave five different players a chance to guard Woodside. None of them had prolonged success. Collins' offense was the only way to combat Woodside.
"At one point, it seemed like there wasn't anybody else on the court but them two," junior guard Tyrone Appleton said.
Woodside wound up with more points, but Collins advanced. That's the benefit of having Aldrich as a teammate.

Aldrich's triple-double spurs Kansas into Sweet Sixteen
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
MINNEAPOLIS — Five national championships. Fifty-two conference titles. Forty-one straight home victories.
And now, one official triple-double. Cole Aldrich accomplished something nearly impossible Sunday at the Metrodome: He became the first player in Kansas' storied basketball history to reach a milestone.
Aldrich, a sophomore center, scored 13 points with 20 rebounds and 10 blocks in a 60-43 second round NCAA Tournament victory against Dayton.
"This will go down, because of the stage, as one of the best individual performances we've had," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
At the beginning of the season, a Sweet Sixteen berth for the Jayhawks would have
sounded even more improbable than an Aldrich triple-double.
But Aldrich's speedy maturation process has allowed the Jayhawks to exceed expectations. Therefore, it's fitting that Aldrich — in his hometown, nonetheless — was the centerpiece of the Jayhawks' triumph against the Flyers.
Aldrich didn't find out about his historic stats until the end of the game when senior center Matt Kleinmann checked in for him. The Kansas fans began chanting "triple-double" and a few of Aldrich's teammates came up to him.
"I couldn't write it any better," Aldrich said. "You couldn't have a Hollywood writer write it any better."
"I think you got it," they said.
"Got what?" Aldrich asked.
"A triple-double," they said.
"Really?" Aldrich said. "That's pretty sweet."

Big two not enough against Spartans
Collins, Aldrich combined for 37 points and 16 rebounds but Kansas still eliminated in the Sweet Sixteen in Indy
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
INDIANAPOLIS - It had to end like this.
INDIAN OLDS - it had to be the most
not necessarily in the Sweet Sixteen at Lucas
Oil Stadium in a 67-62 defeat to Michigan
State. But from the beginning of the year, it
was clear that Kansas would
in that time thatRNs would go as far as Sherron Collins could take it.
In the end, Collins willed the Jayhawks to a 65-60 lead with just more than three minutes remaining against the Spartans. And no further than that.
From there, Collins, a junior guard, committed a key turnover, made a key foul and
missed a key free throw. Then, it was over.
"I can take the loss or whatever," Collins said. "I take it on my shoulders."
But it's not that simple. Because without Collins, the Jayhawks would have never stood a chance against the Spartans. He played a game-high 38 minutes, scored a game-high 20 points and led Kansas out to a 32-19 lead in the first half.
No, the blame could go around to everyone after the loss. Collins' teammates knew it.
SHERRON COLLINS Junior guard
"Everybody that played in the game did things that if they think back, they could be like 'Well, this out'."
be like, well, this cost us this game," freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor said.
Taylor was part of one of the major problems. Before the Sweet Sixteen, Kansas coach Bill Self talked about how players other than Collins and sophomore center Cole Aldrich needed to contribute more than they had in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.
"I can take the loss or whatever. I take it on my shoulders.
Didn't happen again. Collins and Aldrich — who finished with 17 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and four blocks — accounted for 60 percent of Kansas' offense.
"Sherron and I will do anything for us to win," Aldrich said. "Sometimes, that's what it comes down to."
Collins, specifically, carried the burden. He got a one-minute break before checking back
Three minutes later, Collins had helped the Jayhawks regain the lead at 60-55 with two baskets off of nifty drives through numerous Spartan defenders. Perhaps one more field goal would have clinched a Jayhawk victory and forced the Spartans into desperation.
"Sherron and I will do anything for us to win. Sometimes, that's what it comes down to."
COLE ALDRICH Sophomore center
"Basketball this time of year comes down to one or two possessions," Self said. "And that's certainly what happened tonight."
Michigan State won those possessions. The Spartans recovered from their five-point deficit and tied the game at 60 in less than two minutes after point guard Kalin Lucas drove the lane to free Ravmar Morgan for a dunk.
Collins raced to the basket on
Collins raced to the basket on the other end, but got careless with the ball and lost it when attempting a pass to Aldrich. Turnovers plagued the Jayhawks all night. Collins had six of Kansas' 19.
"The biggest thing." Self said, "was we turned the ball over."
Taylor said the biggest thing was that Kansas just couldn't get a stop with the game on the line. Michigan State's possession after Collins' turnover was the best example.
Lucas, who finished with 18 points and seven assists, blew past Collins and rose for a 10-foot
jump shot. Collins fouled him and the shot still swished. After the three-point play, Michigan State led 63-60.
"I got an 'and-one' called on me." Collins said, shaking his head. "It was a big play."
After Collins' two uncharacteristic gaffes, he still received a final shot at redemption: a free throw.
With 19 seconds remaining and Kansas trailing 65-62. Colling
got to the line for a one-and-one. Collins, who earlier in the season set the Kansas record by making 35 straight free throws, shorted the first attempt and Michigan State corralled the rebound. The Spartans had knocked off the defending national champions.
"I think we were relying too much on Sherron to make plays for us," Taylor said.
That was the story all year. Most of the time, it worked. This time, it failed.

Jayhawks finish with no regrets
Fifth-straight Big 12 title highlight for young squad
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Perspective is hard to find in the loser's locker room after a season-ending defeat.
Players talk about what could have been. They stammer. They mumble. They look down.
Kansas' locker room at Lucas Oil Stadium after losing to Michigan State two weeks ago definitely fit that description. For 30 minutes after the loss, junior guard Sherron Collins struggled to find the right way to wrap up Kansas' 2009 season.
In the end, five of Collins' words turned out to be the most telling.
"It was a fun ride," Collins said.
Fun, according to Collins, because the lajahws were able to get to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament. They became the 26th team in school history to reach the Sweet Sixteen.
But Collins' best memory from this season will be Kansas' winning its fifth consecutive Big 12 Conference championship. Despite being picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 at the beginning of the season, Kansas won its 52nd conference championship.
"To come to the Sweet Sixteen and win the league with the team we had," Collins said, "no one expected it."
Kansas gathered plenty of awards to commemorate this season. The Associated Press named Collins, who averaged 19 points and five assists per game, a third-team All-American. Sophomore center Cole Aldrich, who averaged 15 points and 11 rebounds, received honorable mention. It also awarded Kansas coach Bill Self with Coach of the Year recognition.
"To come to the Sweet Sixteen and win the league with the team we had, no one expected it."
Not a bad haul for what some called a rebuilding year after Kansas lost seven of its top eight players and all five starters from 2008's national championship team.
"I don't have any regrets at all about this team's season," Self said.
SHERRON COLLINS Junior guard
Neither do the rest of the Jayhawks. Aldrich, freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor and freshman forward Marcus Morris all gave the same response to what they would remember best about this season: how far they came.
All three of them mentioned the beginning of the year, when Kansas went on a Labor Day weekend trip to Ottawa, Canada, for three exhibition games. They all look back and laugh about it now.
The Jayhawks weren't so good back then. It took some late-game heroes from freshman guard Travis Releford and sophomore
guard Tyrel Reed to beat one of the Canadian teams, Carleton, by one point.
Although it should be noted that Collins and the Morris twins didn't play in Canada, Aldrich was still amazed that the same team lost by five points to the eventual national runner-up six months later.
"These guys are phenomenal."
Aldrich said of his teammates
"Being so young this year and doing what we did this year, who knows what we can do next year."
"We came and practiced and every day worked hard and battled until the end."
Sure, it got bumpy along the way. For as many positive memories as the Jayhawks have, there are also a few moments theyd like to forget — including but not limited to a 61-60 defeat to Massachusetts at the Sprint Center and a 19-point shellacking at Texas Tech.
MARCUS MORRIS Freshman forward
But ask the Jayhawks and they'll tell you that's part of growing up. Five of Kansas' top
nine players this year were newcomers.
"Being so young this year and doing what we did this year," Morris said, "who knows what we can do next year?"
Collins has an idea. Collins and Aldrich came back for another year instead of entering the NBA Draft, hoping Kansas could get back to Indianapolis.
Next year, Lucas Oil Stadium
doesn't have the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight. It's the host of the Final Four.
It's always easier to look ahead. But Collins said there were plenty of reasons to remember Kansas' 2009 season.
"I don't think it's a disappointment," Collins said. "I think it's a success."

Day 2: Examining alcohol use on campus
Day 3:
Are KU's policies sufficient?
"By the books, yes, he had a drinking problem ... Every single kid here probably has a drinking problem."
ASTAGGERING TRAGEDY
Friends and family look for answers while struggling to cope with an untimely death
Editors' note: Jason Wren's death after a night of heavy drinking spurred this three-day series investigating alcohol use on campus and the effectiveness of the University's alcohol policies. Jason's death exposed potential cracks in a system intended to help students who may have drinking problems. Some sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the stories.
BY ALEXANDRA GARRY agarry@kansan.com
Friends with him that day said Jason joined a group of friends at a local restaurant for margaritas. Then they went home to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, where they socialized, hung out and drank.
Hours later, about 1 p.m. Sunday, a friend went to wake Jason after their night of drinking. He was hungry. He wanted to see whether Jason wanted to join him for lunch.
Jason Wren's last night began, by all accounts, pretty normally.
He put a hand on Jason's shoulder. Jason's long-sleeve, white polo shirt had bunched up around the middle of his back. The skin in the small of his back was freezing and blue. His friend looked around the room thinking there must have been a window open to make him so cold.
Jason's friend shook him, trying to break him out of his slumber. He noticed Jason's shirt was soaked with vomit.
"No, no, no!" came the screams from the sohomore sleeping dorm. "lason? lason!"
The friend was getting frustrated. No way was something seriously wrong, he thought. Jason's just asleep. Death by alcohol? That just happens to kids somewhere else — not here.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
He tried lifting Jason's head. That was when he couldn't pretend any longer — something was wrong. He shook Jason hard, yelled at him to disprove his fear.
Thirty minutes later, the paramedics came downstairs to the living room where about 40 SAE men had gathered.
Jason Wren 'life was cut short after he died of apparent alcohol poisoning in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house on March 8. Details surrounding his death have led to many questions concerning the drinking environment on campus and the University's alcohol and privacy policies.
"The news you all are fearing is unfortunately true," one of the paramedics told them. "Jason Wren passed away sometime in the night."
"Then," said an SAE freshman, "all you could hear was crying."
---
The death of Jason Wren, a popular and kind-hearted athlete, from suspected alcohol poisoning March 8 in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, 1301 West Campus Road, shocked a close-knit network of friends and family from Colorado to Kansas.
Weeks later, the details surrounding Jason's death — and last few days of life — remain unclear amid a swirl of controversy and contradiction. Jason's father is calling for change in everything he believes contributed to his son's death — from University privacy policy to the apparently embedded alcohol culture at the University as Jason's family and friends continue to grieve an incredible loss.

Committee to narrow chancellor candidates
BY BRIANNE PFANNENSTIEL
bpfannenstiel@kansan.com
After Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced in early December that he would step down from his position at the University, a search committee began seeking nominations from students, staff and community members to find the best and brightest to fill his shoes.
Adam McGonigle, student body president and the only student who sits on the search committee for a new chancellor, said he received several e-mail nominations from students. Of those, he said Barack Obama and Bill Cosby were among the leading vote getters, along with a few self-nominations from ambitious students.
"I can confirm that Barack Obama is not going to be the new chancellor" McGonagle said. "But the way I thought about it was every Monday morning we could get all the students together in Memorial Stadium and have a discussion with Cancellor Cosby."
All jokes aside, McGonigle said he had also received a good number of serious suggestions from students. He said he hoped to bring a unique

Groups celebrate Equal Pay Day
BY BETSY CUTCLIFF
bcutcliff@kansan.com
It's all about the money today, as members of KU Young Democrats and the Commission on the Status of Women celebrate Equal Pay Day and strive to increase awareness about wage inequities between genders.
While discrimination in the workplace may not be as prominent as it once was, it's still an issue in the U.S. According to recent data from the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics, women earn about 80 percent of what men earn. Members of Young Democrats and CSW are setting up tables in front of Watson library to remind students of inequality in the workplace.
"I think despite the publicity there are still a lot of people who don't see how it applies in daily life," Virginia Burrows, Salt Lake City junior, said.
The National Committee on Pay Equity established Equal Pay Day in 1996 to illustrate the gap between men and women's wages.

1. Human activity forces elephants from country
HARARE, Zimbabwe — Growing pressure from poaching and human encroachment in Zimbabwe has driven hundreds of elephants to migrate from the country and at least one leopard to stalk an upmarket Harare suburb, conservationists said Monday.
As many as 400 elephants have crossed the Zambezi River, which separates Zambia from northern Zimbabwe, in recent months, said Johnny Rodríguez, head of the independent Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force.
LIMA, Peru — Peru said Monday it has granted asylum to a Venezuelan opposition leader who faces corruption allegations back home but claims to be a victim of political persecution by President Hugo Chavez.
2. Peru grants Venezuelan opposition leader asylum
Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde announced the decision before Congress, telling reporters later that Manuel Rosales was given asylum for "humanitarian reasons."
Venezuelan prosecutors accuse Rosales of illegal enrichment while he was governor of western Zulia state, saying he failed to show a legal source of about $68,000 in income between 2000 and 2004.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Park Police said they arrested 91 protesters in front of the White House, including some in wheelchairs who chained themselves to a fence.
MEXICO CITY — Mexico says the World Health Organization has raised its pandemic alert for swine flu by one level, two steps short of declaring a full-blown pandemic
WHO said the phase four alert means sustained human to human transmission causing outbreaks in at least one country. It signals a significant increase in the risk of a global epidemic, but does not mean a pandemic is inevitable.

The protesters are calling on the president to support legislation that would give people with disabilities in need of long-term care alternatives to nursing homes.

6. New plan for GM Corp. means 21,000 jobs cut
DETROIT — General Motors Corp. could be majority owned by the federal government under a massive restructuring plan laid out Monday that will cut 21,000 U.S. factory jobs by next year and phase out the storied Pontiac brand.
The plan, which includes an offer to swap roughly $27 billion in bond debt for GM stock, would leave current shareholders holding just 1 percent of the century-old company, which is fighting for its life in the worst auto sales climate in 27 years.
Bin Laden may have died

Pakistani intelligence claims 'he does not exist anymore,' has no proof

TRUMP AND KHALIFA SHAHEED KHAIFAN SULTAN, THE PRESIDENT OF KUWAIT, MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT OF CAMBODIA, NOW BORN ON JULY 13, 2015.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, left, meets Pakistan's president Asif Ali Zardari in Islamabad on one day. Pakistani intelligence agencies believe Osama bin Laden may be dead, but there's no proof on one way or another about the al-Qaida chief's fate, the country's president said.
U. S. officials said bin Laden was most likely hiding in the mountains along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, in particular the lawless tribal regions.
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's president said Monday his intelligence agencies believe Osama bin Laden may be dead, but he added there is no proof. Other Pakistani officials and a U.S. counterterrorism official said they thought the al-Qaida chief was alive.
Reports of bin Laden's death or of near-captures have punctuated his years on the run since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
"We continue to believe that bin Laden is alive," said the U.S. official, who declined to be named
because he was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record.
Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, calling it a "holocaust," and spoke of the January election of Somalia's U.N.-backed president, calling for him to be overthrown.
"They are much more informed." Zardari said. "They've been actually after him for a longer time. They've got more equipment. They've got more intelligence. ... so they tell us they have no trace at the moment."
In an interview Monday with international media outlets, Pakistani President Asif Al Zardari said American officials had told him they did not know where bin Laden was.
"That's not confirmed. We can't confirm that. It's still in between fiction and fact."
The latest recording emerged in March, in which bin Laden referred to the December-January

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, appearing later Monday with his visiting British counterpart at a news conference, seemed surprised when a reporter asked about Zardari's remarks.
"It's still in between fiction and fact."
Ben Venzke, director of IntelCenter, the U.S. contractor that tracks extremist propaganda, said it was unlikely al-Qaida would bin Laden's death a secret.
"That's not confirmed. We can't confirm that," he said.

PROJECT
Architecture studio closes in on completion
Shading structure complements last semester's prairie overlook deck
BY AMANDA THOMPSON
athompson@kansan.com
A third-year design studio in the School of Architecture is only a few days away from completing its semester-long project.
The studio will complete and show its Rockefeller trailhead structure, which marks the beginning of a trail, at the University of Kansas Field Station and Ecological Reserves, or KSR, on Thursday, May 14. The critique and showing will be open to the public.
John Myers, St. Louis junior, was one of 17 people in the studio who helped put the project together. Myers said the trailhead would provide a shading structure at the beginning of the trail at KSR, which is located at 350
Wild Horse Road, northeast of Lawrence.
Myers said that last semester's design studio built an overlook deck in the same area, and that now the two student-constructed
architecture projects will be connected to make the area more visitor-friendly.
"The overlook deck looks south over the river valley on a bluff, and there's going to be a nature trail connecting that deck
Myers said the trailhead would also allow for a place to display information about the reserve and a place to sit and look out over the prairie.
Richard and Sue Himes donated

to our project," Myers said. "The idea is that you have some place to start before you get on the trail, to put on hiking shoes or have some place to rest."

was its permanence. He said he looked forward to coming back in five to 10 years to see it still standing.
"It's going to be awesome,"
Myers said. "We've worked really, really hard on this. We put in a lot of hours and ruined a lot of pairs of clothes."
Though the class is six credit hours, Sam Avery, St. Louis junior, said that at times he would spend 50 hours a week working on the project.
Avery said students in the studio got along well and worked early and late shifts to complete the project.

Nils Gore, associate professor of the design studio, said he was pleased with the way the project had turned out so far.

After the whistle blew, Swift, accompanied by a man who appeared to be a bodyguard, signed autographs and took pictures with the throng of fans who followed her from the classroom to
the budig exit. One girl yelled,
"Taylor, thank you so much."
"You look pretty," came from a male fan. Another girl walked away with her camera after taking a picture with Swift, giggling as she pushed her way through the crowd of fans.
Danny Woods, Overland Park freshman, had a different plan.
"I'll slip her my number. I wouldn't expect anything today, but there's a three-day grace period," he said.
Woods said he succeeded in handing Swift his number, but her bodyguard ripped it up before she could read it.

Mary and Jay Wren, parents of Jason Wren, the 19-year-old Littleton, Colo., freshman who was found dead in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house March 8, grieve at a memorial service for their son March 12. Several hundred people attended the service on the SAE lawn. Though a final coroner's report will not be available until June, a preliminary autopsy indicated that alcohol was present in Wren's body when he died.

Instead, Jason socialized with his friends. And Jason drank.
Jay Wren, Jason's father, said that Lawrence police told him his son drank 10 to 12 beers inside the SAE house that night. An SAE freshman said he did not know how many beers Jason drank, or who had taken him to buy the beers, but that Jason also drank Franzia wine and took at least one long swig of whiskey from a bottle. He said drinking straight from a bottle of hard liquor was a common occurrence within the hallways of the house.
"He kept waking up, completely coherent, actually wanting to drink more," an SAE junior said. "They took alcohol away from him because they found him in a room drinking, just chugging by himself, and they were like, 'What are you doin?' We just put you to bed. Go to bed.'"
Both the junior and the SAE freshman said no one called for help that night because no one thought Jason showed any signs of alcohol poisoning.

Shane Glenn, Andover junior and president of SAE's KU chapter, said the purpose of the event was to remember a friend, bring awareness to a campuswide issue and to raise money for the Jason Wren Memorial Fund, a charity created by Wren's father.
The fraternity sold tickets to the event for $10 a piece and donated all the concert's proceeds to the charity. The money collected from the concert will be used to build a bench in front of Wren's high school as well as to raise awareness about University privacy policies and alcohol safety issues.
Nehring said he liked that the event portrayed the Greek community in a positive light.
"A lot of people base their images of fraternities off of movies," he said. "In movies it's big parties all the time, just going out and being irresponsible. So it's always nice when fraternities and sororites do something that is not what's expected."
Despite the loss of a friend, Glenn said fraternity members were trying to cope with the situation and learn something from it.
"It's hard to see someone who you just met disappear in 10 days, and it's just hard to see someone so young leave so quickly," he said. "But we're all there for each other. It helped us, you know, take something positive out of this and make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again, because it happens all over the country."

Jay Wren said his son told him a week ahead of time that he had been given until Feb. 28 to leave Oliver Hall for violating housing policy.
Jay Wren said he called the Department of Student Housing to ask why his son was being forced to leave, but a representative told him a privacy policy dictated that details remain confidential.
The father said his son had downplayed his infractions, saying a resident assistant wrote him up
passionate everything it got him in sometimes, what's what he passionate."
after finding a shot glass, and later a beer can, in his room, and finally because he had been seen holding a beer can for a friend while the friend used the restroom.
Records of Jason's specific infractions are protected by the University's
Jay Wren said he would like to see student housing's privacy policy concerning the notification of parents following a rule violation changed, giving parents more access to student housing records.
interpretation of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
HANNING AHBE ason's girlfriend
especially records concerning behavioral issues.
"I looked up the law — they'll release full records to other scholastic institutions, they'll release it to financial institutions, but they won't release it to the parents." Jay Wren said. "There needs to be an exception; they can't block out the parents."
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said after Jason's death that University administration was reviewing its policy.
Jill Jess, associate director for news and media relations, said all housing issues were private, even after a former resident's death. The Department of Student Housing declined to comment.
A final report is due in June after examination of biological samples that were sent to a laboratory in St. Louis.
As for any investigation by the University or the fraternity, officials
A preliminary report found evidence of physical damage to Jason's body that is associated with alcohol and drug overdoses, said Jennifer McCollum, medical investigator at the Shawnee County coroner's office.
Jason's family had hoped Lawrence police would treat his death as a criminal investigation, but no such investigation is under way.
THE INVESTIGATION
Rueben Perez, director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, which oversees Greek life at the University, said that after Jason's death, KU officials planned to bring more attention to the problem of drinking — especially underage drinking — by students.
"He was a good kid. He was loved by many, and his life got cut short," he said. "In his honor, I want kids to put the drinks down, and every time I want to have a drink now, I'm going to say no. It's in honor of my son, because
Shane Glenn, president of the KU SAE chapter, declined to comment. The fraternity has had two events in honor of Jason: a memorial service after he died and a tribute concert Monday.
Since his son's death, Jay Wren has been outspoken in calling for college students to change their drinking habits. He would also like to see alcohol possession rules at fraternities change, saying the current practices contributed to Jason's death.
'DENVERDAD' AND OTHERS SPEAK OUT
have said little. Immediately after Jason's death, Chancellor Robert Hemenway released a statement expressing sorrow for Jason's death and acknowledging the family's loss.
"It's a problem that permeates not just the greek community but the whole campus," Perez said.
alcohol killed him."
Under the screenname "DenverDad," Jay Wren has left nearly 50 comments on articles about his son's death on Kansan. com — some nearly 500 words long — to date. One such comment:
The law doesn't allow anyone under 21 to be in
"Why do we let our children,
underage, sleep in a house that has open alcohol and no adult supervision? It was the biggest mistake in my life.
after 10 p.m., can
it's OK for them to be in "sleeping
bars" called fraternities?
"You binge drink, you drink to get drunk.
It's what I do, that's what everybody does,
that's what Jason did."
YES, I made mistake of going to bar with my son the weekend before he died, the weekend I helped him move. YES, I made an error in judgment that it would be okay for Jason to be in a fraternity ...
I have made changes in my life to be a better example to my surviving daughters. I have not had a drink since the day I heard of Jason's death. Why can't fraternities change? Why can't the University change?"
SAE freshman
Wren has criticized what he says are "loaded gun" policies of housing drinking-age and underage residents in the same residence
"Uninformed students who didn't know the dangers ended up putting Jason's life in a terrible
halls and greek houses. He has also accused the University and SAE of failing to provide students with educational programs that include the signs of alcohol poisoning.
Brandon Weghorst, the national spokesman for SAE, said the fraternity invested time and money into continuous training about the dangers of
alcohol for each of its members.
THE 'PROBLEM'
Weghorst said in a statement that SAE had closed an internal investigation of the chapter after finding no "criminal actions or negligence by the organization, the chapter or its respective members that led to the death" and that "we believe this is a very unfortunate, isolated incident."
Those close to Jason say they want his life to be remembered, not his death.
Jason's tragic death has left a painful void in the lives of his mother and father, his sisters and his countless friends.
"People want to blame the fraternity, people want to blame him, but it's not that at all — it's just college," the freshman said. "We drink. You binge drink, you drink to get drunk. It what I do, that's what everybody does, that's what Jason did."
"We want people to know Jason's life wasn't drinking," Vicky Wren, Jason's sister, said.
He said he felt people looked for a simple answer to Jason's death, but that it was an "unfortunate accident" — the result of the kind of drinking that was common at the University.
Several people who knew him have been frustrated by comments from people who say that because Jason died from excessive drinking, he had a drinking problem.
"Every time I hear somebody say he had a drinking problem. I just want to scream, because Jason Wren did not have a drinking problem," the SAE freshman said.
He said Jason did not have a problem, because he did not need to drink but rather chose to drink because of the culture.
"By the books, yes, he had a drinking problem," he said. "I mean, I have a drinking problem, every single kid here probably has a drinking problem."

Deli's servers donate $2,000 in tips
McAlister's employees pool four months of tips to help the Lawrence Humane Society
BY MIKE BONTRAGER
mbontrager@kansan.com
McAlister's Deli has been providing the community with more than just sandwiches.
Field Dellett, general manager for McAlister's Deli, said the employees chose which community organization received the tip donations.
Tips totaling $2,256 collected during the last four months at McAlister's Deli, 2108 W. 27th St., will be donated to help the Lawrence Humane Society.
"We just let the employees vote because they're the ones getting tips," Dellett said.
Devinee Fitzgerald, Wichita freshman and server at McAlister's Deli, said she thought it was a good idea to donate tips.
"It's special because we get rewarded and the community gets rewarded at the same time," Fitzgerald said. "We're getting
paid more than the average waitress or server, so it works out for everybody"
Dellett said he liked calling organizations to let them know that McAlister's would be making a donation.
"I hear how excited they are. They're like, 'Oh my gosh, you've got to be kidding me.' Dellett said. "A lot of time they don't know it's going to happen."
Midge Grinstead, director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said she was very excited when he heard McAlister's would be donating its tips.
"We didn't even know they were donating it." Grinstead said. "I'd been in there two or three times. I hadn't seen the sign."
Grinstead said donations were important to the Lawrence Humane Society.
The Lawrence Humane Society has a $1.1 million budget, and $730,000 of that comes
Grinstead said that McAlister's donations would go to the Douglas County Animal Response Team.
from donations.
"With recent economic downturn, we've been receiving more and more [animals] every day." Howard said. "It's only late April now, and we're almost completely filled to capacity with our pet dogs."
"It's a wonderful, wonderful thing, when somebody thinks of us and we haven't been bothering them for money," Grinstead said. "I think it lets my staff know, 'Hey, you're doing such a good job.'"
Grinstead said without donations the humane society would not be able to provide all of its services.
Veronica Howard, Flint, Mich., graduate student and volunteer coordinator for the Lawrence Humane Society, said donations were important especially now.
"It seems like we're just so close, every year, to not making it, but there's always people like McAlister's out there who come forward and say we're going to make a difference," Grinstead said.
Howard said the DCART, the organization McAlister's tips are going to, was a 'fantastic' program.
"I didn't realize how important it was until the director told me about their rescue efforts in Greensburg," Howard said.
"She has fantastic stories, but the one that sticks with me the most are where she describes digging through piles of rubble to pull out pet cats and dogs that had been buried in the rubble of collapsed houses, sometimes a week after the tornado occurred."

PAY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
It is held on a Tuesday in April to symbolize how much longer women have to work to earn the same wage as men do in a week — four days — and how much longer women have to work to make as much as men do in a year — four months.
Michael Shultz, a Lawrence-based attorney who specializes in fair wages, said the issue of fair wages stretched beyond gender and also included different wages based on employee traits other than job-related skill.
Shultz said there were specific determining aspects of what
qualified as the same kind of work, and included requiring the same physical or mental capacity and the same time demands.
The American Association of University Women, a research organization specializing in women's studies, recently completed a study that compared states' male-to-female salaries and showed that in Kansas, full-time male workers age 16 and older made 25 percent more than female workers, higher than the national average of 20 percent.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director for the Emily Taylor
Women's Resource Center, said there were many facets to the fair pay issue, including where much of the stimulus package funds were going.
"It's important for all our students to be aware of this kind of thing." Rose-Mockry said.
The first bill President Barack Obama signed into office was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay act, which canceled out a Supreme Court ruling last year that restricted the time employees had to file a wage-complaint suit.

However, Kip Peterson, a spokesperson for the Kansas Board of Regents, said it was a possibility that a new chancellor would not be named until Fall 2009. He could not say whether there was a plan in place to name someone to cover those duties during the interim.

Michael Arad, architect of the National September 11 Memorial at Ground Zero, discusses his design Monday night in the Kansas Union. Arad charted the process of his vision from inspiration to the obstacles he has faced as the project moves forward.

Architect discusses plans for memorial
Arad discussed the obstacles he faced while designing the memorial and problems with getting approval on designs and ideas from family members of the September 11 victims.
Michael Arad, designer of the National September 11 Memorial at Ground Zero, shared his design for the site and the stages of the project with more than 150 students and members of the public Monday night in the Kansas Union.
"I want to broaden my interest in it and get involved now," Davis said. "I came to see how someone's taken their field and what they've done with it so far."
Kayla Barrs, Abilene, Texas, junior and architecture student said she wanted to go to the lecture because Arad sounded like an interesting person.
"I'd like to see his ideas and get
some knowledge of what's going on right now in the architecture world." Barrs said.
The event was the first part of a new lecture series honoring the late Thomas Galloway, founding chairman of the urban planning graduate program in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
Galloway was the dean of architecture at Georgia Tech when Arad attended the school.
Kirk McClure, professor of urban planning, said he remembered Galoway as a demanding professor.
"He sat on the review for my thesis proposal and I remember the discussion of it and comments that he made and others made 10 years later." Arad said
"When Sharon Galloway asked me to be the speaker at the event there was no question in my mind. I was happy to come and present." Arad said.
The lecture series was established and funded by Galloway's wife, Sharon Galloway.
Arad said the memorial should be open for the 10-year anniversary of September 11.

No players were drafted, but two sign free-agent contracts and two more have pro prospects
KANSAS 40 NFL 12
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
montemayor@kansan.com
One year removed from having four players drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft, Kansas saw no senior's name called in last weekend's draft, but two players signed free agent contracts shortly after.
On Sunday night linebackers James Holt and Mike Rivera landed free agent contracts with the San Diego Chargers and Chicago Bears, respectively.
"It's hard to describe," Rivera said. "It hasn't even set in yet. It's unbelievable that I've got a chance to learn from guys that are Pro Bowlers and Hall of Famers someday."
Those future peers would be Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs. There will be no shortage of competitors for a spot on the Bears' depth chart, as Chicago drafted Ohio State linebacker Marcus Freeman in the fifth
round Sunday and also added Rutgers linebacker Kevin Malast as a undrafted free agent, bringing the team's linebacker total to nine.
Despite the dearth of linebackers that he will have to contend with, Rivera said he believed he would fit best with the Bears, who were among 10 teams to contact him as the draft wound down.
"Each team I talked to, I looked at the depth chart and what defense they had," Rivera said. "I wanted to put myself in a good situation and I like the Bears' 4-3 defense. I think I'll have a good shot to help out on special teams."
That shot begins immediately. Rivera heads to a three-day mini-camp with the team this weekend, and will split time between class and team preparation as the semester draws to a close. Rivera is working on a master's degree in sports administration, but will not finish it this year.
Rivera, 6-foot-3, 255 pounds, finished third on the team with 93 tackles and capped his tenure with a career-best 14 tackles in last year's Insight Bowl. Rivera led all Kansas players with a 38.5-inch vertical leap at Kansas pro day March 10. Had Rivera done that at February's NFL combine — no Kansas player was invited — he would have tested 1.5 inches higher than fourth-overall selection Aaron Curry.
HOLT A BOLT,
MORTENSEN EXPECTS
DEAL
"We all appreciate everything coaches Corey Meredith and Chad Dawson have done for us," Rivera said. "They've been a big part of our success."
DEAL
Holt, 6-3, 225 pounds, led Kansas in tackles in 2008 with 105, as well as accumulating a team-high 10 sacks. He ranked third nationally with 0.46 forced
fumbles per game and closed his career with an Insight Bowl defensive MVP performance after turning in three sacks in the victory.
Holt earned All-Big 12 Second Team honors last season while Rivera was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection for the third consecutive year.
Linebacker Joe Mortensen
has been reported to be expecting a deal somewhere soon as well. Mortensen could be signed as a fullbackafter

Mortensen
"I was all-state at fullback in California," Mortensen said after the March workout. "I just love to hit, so it doesn't really matter which side of the ball it is."
BACHEYIE AMONG TOP CEL PROSPECTS
Graduating safety Tang Bacheyie is being considered one of the top-ranked players heading into the May 2 Canadian Football League draft.
Bacheyie will be drafted as a linebacker, one of the three positions he was listed at while at Kansas. As a freshman in 2005,

Camaraderie helps less-experienced Jayhawks win games
Kansas set to play a doubleheader against Chicago State this afternoon
The bonds between teammates in the clubhouse can make up for a lot of things.
BY JOSH BOWE jbowe@kansan.com
It can hide a team's weakness, lack of talent or lack of experience. Kansas certainly doesn't bring in the recruits that programs like Texas, Oklahoma or Texas A&M bring in, but what the Jayhawks may lack in stellar recruits they make up for with the chemistry that coach Ritch Price helps create.
Kansas already has the second most Big 12 victories in the Price era, all with dozens of young players, some even playing their first full collegiate season. Watch the team on and off the field, it's clear there's a bond that has helped propel them past all projections.

COMMENTARY
It's time to pay heed, beware of 'The Hog'
BY CLARK GOBLE
cgoble@kansan.com
Everyone knows about the presence of the Phog in Allen Fieldhouse. Opponents must Beware, Pay Heed and so forth. The men's basketball team has won 41.
basketball team has won 41 straight games at home and is 77-6 there under coach Bill Self.
But you can't overlook what the baseball team has been doing next door to Allen Fieldhouse all season long either. After Sunday's doubleheader sweep over Nebraska, the Jayhawks are now 21-3 in Hoglund Ballpark. They are looking to improve on that record when they take on Chicago State twice today.
But which Kansas team's home résumé is more impressive? We'll give the contenders three rounds to show their stuff.
THE HOG VS. THE PHOG
Let's get ready to rumble.
Round one: Quality of victories
Just like Sherron and Cole, Buck and Tony have taken down their fair share of less-than-quality opponents in their home arena. The Jayhawks in the Fieldhouse took down Florida Gulf Coast, Jackson State and Albany. The Jayhawks next door have defeated the likes of Northern Colorado, Baker and Missouri Valley College.
Not too much difference yet.
But the baseball team swept then-No.1 Texas and then-No. 17 Oklahoma State at home. The hoopers? Yes, they destroyed Missouri, soundly defeated Tennessee and dispatched Siena, but they did not defeat the highest ranked team in the country.
Advantage: The Hog.
Round two: Atmosphere.
In 23 home games so far this season, the baseball team has drawn a total of 19,845 fans. At Sunday's doubleheader, Nebraska's fans were significantly louder than Kansas'. The Rock Chalk Chant had to be played over the stadium's speakers at the end of the game.
Round two. Atmosphere.
Opponents walk into Allen Fieldhouse to the jeering of 16,300 fans game in and game out. When the outcome is all but decided, the fans belt out the Rock Chalk Chant
Advantage: The Phog.
Round three: The difference between baseball and basketball.
Kansas basketball rarely loses at home. But neither do other basketball programs. Memphis and North Carolina both lost just once at home last season. Top programs defend their home court.
In baseball, the home field advantage is not as clear cut. Top-ranked North Carolina has lost seven games at home. No. 10 Georgia Tech has lost five.
Defending your home field is a lot tougher in baseball, where the impact of the fans is not as important. The Jayhawks have done it incredibly well this season.
Advantage: The Hog.
And there you have it. The Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse are tough to beat, but they defend their home court only a little better than their national competition. The Jayhawks have defended their house against quality opponents like few others in the country have.
Opponents should still Beware of the Phog, but they should Beware of the Hog as well.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Hopefully the seniors will enjoy playing a world-class course in a conference tournament. We just need to play it the way it was designed and accept what the golf course gives you."
KU men's golf coach Kit Grove
Kansas' winning score of 857 in 1999 was the third-lowest score in Big 12 conference tournament history. Only Oklahoma State (851 in 2000) and Texas (850 in 2002) shot lower scores to win the Big 12.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When is the last time a team not from Oklahoma won the men's golf conference title?
A: Texas won in 2004, wrapping up a three-year title run. Since then, Oklahoma State has won the title in 2005, 2007 and 2008 while Oklahoma took the crown in 2006.

NASCAR Organization defends standards after crash
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Despite injuries to fans from flying debris, NASCAR's satisfied with its safety standards, saying the fence at Talladega Superspeed way did what it was supposed to do — keep Carl Edwards' car out of the grandstands.
In a spectacular last-lap accident, Edwards' car sailed upside-down into the front-stretch fence, which bowed but held, before the battered vehicle returned to the track. Blake Bobbitt, one of seven injured by debris, remained hospitalized Monday with a broken jaw.
"One of our primary goals over the years is to build a retaining fence that keeps the cars and parts and pieces out of the spectator areas. Nothing is bullet proof," NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said Monday. "The retaining fence did what it's supposed to do. There was some debris that went into the grandstand, that fortunately did not invoke serious injury. If there is something we come up with as we analyze this accident .. we'll make it as safe as we humanly can."
Draft tweets dominate Twitterverse
COMMENTARY
Though the Bill Cosby/ Quan Cosphy/Erin Andrews/des beds had
Associated Press
Andrews debacle had the blogosphere all atwitter this weekend*, those both involved with and detached from the NFL Draft were plenty plugged in.
*And really, what segment with Erin Andrews isn't these days? Search the tags "ERIN ANDREWS," "HOT," and "OMG" and you'll soon have all you need to start your own blog.
Commissioner Roger Goodell "tweeted" between announcing teams' draft selections for the first time while some teams made their picks public via Twitter before Goodell popped open the envelope.
But as Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported, Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel enticed a Twitter war with a sports talk host from Washington, D.C. as the completion of a free agent contract with the Redskins neared.
As the seventh round wound down Daniel "tweeted:"* "Hearing redskins possibly! Who knows! Free agent might be better!"
Apparently interpreting this as an affront to the 'Skins, WJFK talker Chad Dukes invited
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
Daniel to come on air and defend his comments.
*I don't know how much longer I can do this. Tweet is one of the silliest words you can use but what choice do we have?
I almost believe the Twitter suits did this by design, so when we want to report on the latest tech darling, we can't do so without sounding preposterous. Whatever comes next, please don't use the word "moxie" in your name. PLEASE!
But as Florio observed, the comment was more of a compliment to Washington than anything else. Undrafted free agents are allowed to choose among a number of teams and select the best fit for them.
In suggesting free agent might be better and subsequently ink ing a deal with Washington. Daniel effectively indicated his preference of competing for a spot with the Redskins.
One year after the Jayhawks saw four players drafted in the first round, the Missouri Tigers were better represented. With six selections in the draft, the Tigers saw more players drafted than any Big 12 team this year. The Kansas City Chiefs selected tackle

MORNING
BREW
Hood (32nd), the Tigers were routed in consecutive Big 12 title games and eked out an underwhelming Holiday Bowl win against Northwestern to send off the class. Oh, and last November's date at Arrowhead ensured bragging rights would stay on the right side of the border for at least a year.
And to a pair of undrafted free agents who, to my knowledge, have yet to have their comments misinterpreted by a sports talk radio host, James Holt and Mike Rivera best of luck.
That's all for now.I guess we must put the draft behind us and move on to other things that don't involve sitting and watching people sit and talk for eight hours.

Officers with the Emergency Services Unit, an elite team trained to deal with emotionally disturbed people, responded and stunned Williams with a Taser after he resisted attempts to be hospitalized.
It's the latest in a series of public troubles for the 41-year-old former NBA All-Star, who played nine seasons with the Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers before retiring in 2000.
Williams'm manager told the Daily News of New York outside a Manhattan hospital that the athlete was on the mend.
"Jayson is doing fine. He said he was fine," Akhtar Farzaie told the newspaper. "All of us are here to be by his side as friends."
Williams was a first-round pick in the 1990 NBA draft and went on to become a valuable Nets star. He was named an All-Star and ranked second in the NBA for the 1997-1998 with 13 rebounds per game and a league-high 443 offensive rebounds.

doubleheader? With the starters getting plenty of rest, Elgie will probably see more time after that three-hit game on Sunday.
★★★★☆
MOMENTUM
The past weekend could have been detrimental to the Jayhawks' entire season. But as Brian Heere said, the team showed a lot of maturity to sweep the double header. The team hasn't lost a midweek game to a team with a losing record all season. Don't expect that to change.
Kansas hopes to continue to build its NCAA tournament resume today as they face Chicago State in a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m. If the season up until now is any indication, the Jayhawks will continue to hoot, holler and shout in the dugout for their teammates on the field and in the batter's box.
It doesn't hurt that Kansas has 10 comeback victories this season, which Price believes are huge contributors to the clubhouse vibe.
"The guys like each other and they're playing for each other," Price said. "I think that some of those rallies are a result."
One of the bigger games in the season exemplified that bond loud and clear. At the Missouri game at Kauffman Stadium last Wednesday, the Jayhawks came back from a 3-1 deficit in the sixth inning. Like Price said, the players made plays for each other.
Senior first baseman Preston Land's three-run home run in that inning turned the game around, and Land has been struggling most of the season. The Jayhawk dugout exploded in yells as many of the Jayhawks jumped out to meet Land as he returned to the dugout.
"Everyone was pumped after that. We knew that we were going to take that game after that," junior shortstop David Narodowski said.
Freshman infielder James Stanfield is one to know about the dugout energy. Stanfield is regulated to a back-up role and only gets to start if one of the starting middle infielders are hurt, like junior second baseman Robby Price was on Sunday. The comeback victories are definitely a boost to team morale Stanfield said.
"These comeback wins definitely help out your team and confidence," Stanfield said. "They help you move onto the midweek games then again to the next weekend series."
Kansas will play a relatively weak Chicago State, a team that already has 33 losses and only three victories. But Price doesn't expect his players to let each other down with the postseason looming.
"You're building your resume every time you play," Price said.

this season against Ball State.
Freshman James Tucker gets the lion's share of the work though,

OFFENSE
★☆☆☆
MERCEDES
Senior infielder Patrick Hernandez leads the offense in slugging percentage, triples, doubles and hits. Despite Hernandez's
success at the plate, the team has struggled collectively. The Cougars have combined for only seven home runs all season, and they have yet to score double-digit runs in a game this year.
★ ☆ ☆ ☆
MOMENTUM
The Cougars started the season ice cold, losing their first fifteen games. They won number 16 on the strength of Lawrence's pitching. Two games later, they lost by two runs. Since then, they've stayed in a major rut, struggling their way to a 3-33 record. After inclement weather prompted an eight-day break, Chicago State played Robert Morris on Thursday. The Cougars lost, 9-8.

The Jayhawks travel to Wichita today to compete in their last non-conference series of the year. The doubleheader against the Shockers begins at 5 p.m.
Wichita State currently resides in eighth place in the Missouri Valley Conference and is riding a two-game winning streak, both coming against its conference rival Drake. Wichita State hasn't fared well against the Big 12 Conference this season, going 1-4.
Junior first baseman Amanda Jobe tags a runner in Saturday's game against Baylor. Kansas split the doubleheader and plays another against Wichita State today, but Kansas hasn't won any of its five games against Missouri Valley conference teams this season.
Kansas comes into the double-header following its fifth conference series split against Baylor on Senior Day. On the season, the Jayhawks are 0-5 versus opponents in the Missouri Valley Conference.
The Shocker offense is led by second baseman Kara L'Huillier and catcher Heather Gerritse. KeriSi Rowan leads the Missouri Valley in steals and has yet to be thrown out this season, going a perfect 15-15. It's clear that Wichita State has a potent offense. It has a team average of .272, good for second in the Missouri Valley. However, the same can't be said of its pitching and defense.
The Shocker pitching staff has a dismal ERA of 3.99 and has given up 385 hits in only 328 innings pitched, making Wichita State's staff the worst in the Missouri Valley Conference. Defensively, it doesn't get much better for the Shockers, who have committed 56 errors in 48 games.
Over the last five games the Jayhawks are 2-3, losing to Drake and splitting Tulsa and Baylor. In those games, Kansas played poor defense but had a strong offensive output.

Kansas now sits at eighth in the Big 12, one game behind Oklahoma State. Kansas hopes to use the last three series of the season against Wichita State, Texas A&M and Iowa State, to help bolster its postseason resume.

Kansas fans may recall running back Jon Cornish, who was recruited out of New Westminster, British Columbia.
where he was named an All-Canadian and All-Conference player after his senior season.
Cornish led the Jayhawks in rushing his junior and senior seasons and finished his career
leading the Big 12 in rushing in 2006 with 1,457 yards. Cornish and Bacheyie may be reuilted, or pitted against one another, come May 2 as Cornish now plays for the Calgary Stampeders. He rushed for 254 yards and one touchdown last season.

The crash happened in Tensas Parish down Louisiana Highway 606 near a country club on the inside shore of Lake Bruin, a clear oxbow lake popular for boating, fishing and swimming.
The wreck happened about 1:30 a.m. Sunday on a highway 60 miles southeast of Monroe, near the Mississippi state line. Dennis said the passengers, men aged 19 to 23, refused treatment for minor injuries.
"The fact that three of these guys survived ejection totally defies the odds," he said.
Dennis said the truck went off the right side of the highway and into a ditch, overcorrected, ran off the left side of the highway and flipped at least once.
Investigators did not find cause to suspect drugs or alcohol, but cited Aldridge for careless driving, Dennis said. No one was cited for not wearing a seat belt.

Banks to testify in stalking case
Georgia man could get 90 days if found guilty
BY SAMUEL MAULL Associated Press
NEW YORK — Model-turnedtelevision personality Tyra Banks is due in court this week to testify against a Georgia man accused of following her from one side of the country to another.
Banks, host of TV's "America's Next Top Model," is to testify in a Manhattan courtroom where Brady Green goes on trial on charges of stalking her.
Green, of Dublin, Ga., is accused of following Banks from coast to coast since January of last year. He was arrested in a McDonald's near the Manhattan building where "The Tyra Banks Show" is taped after he tried to see her on March 18, 2008.
Green told police then, "I know her. She knows me. We're good friends." He said he "came by bus (from Los Angeles) to see her."
"We had a thing together," court papers quote Green as telling police. "I sent her flowers. I sent her cards. Should I plead no contest? I've got satellites watching me and recording us"
Green, 38, has pleaded not guilty to stalking, harassment and criminal trespass. He faces up to 90 days in jail if convicted by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke,
who is hearing the case without a jury.
Green has rejected several non-jail plea deals offered by the prosecution. If he had accepted the plea offers, Banks' testimony would not have been necessary and he would not have seen her in court.
Burke scheduled the start of
Green's trial after a hearing in which he ruled that most statements the defendant made to police could be used as trial evidence.
PLEASE MAKE AN APPROXIMATE REFERENCE TO THE MODEL BEFORE COMING TO SUPERSTORE.
Banks, 35 has to appear in
Banks
court to testify she was alarmed and feared for her physical safety. This emotional distress is an element of the criminal charges against Green.
A criminal complaint filed when Green was arrested said building custodian Edward Troiano told police the defendant also had appeared at Banks' Los Angeles studio "on multiple occasions" and asked to speak to her.
The complaint said Troiano reported Green had sent letters and flowers to Banks there and had tried to reach her there by telephone at least five times. Troiano also might testify at Green's trial.

Perkins' bonus comes with terrible timing
Athletics Director Lew Perkins is set to receive $750,000 more in his retention plan than what was originally agreed upon. After Perkins rejected offers from another university, Chancellor Robert Hemenway agreed to add the bonus, raising Perkins' original $1.3 million paycheck to $2.05 million if he stays in office until June 30, 2009. Come July 1 Perkins could simply walk away with $750,000 more in his pocket
Chancellor Hemenway should not sign off on bonuses such as this so close to his retirement. At the bare minimum, any bonus Perkins receives should

OPINION

Perkins' bonus stands in stark contrast to the painful budget cuts the University is facing this year. University staff members have lost their jobs, and significant programs for students and University employees have been cut, such as student learning communities and faculty discounts on tickets to sporting events. So far, the University
has left 110 faculty positions vacant that would otherwise have been filled. Students will surely suffer because of these deep cuts in academic resources. It is unseemly, to say the least, that
Kelsey Clark, Lenexa junior, said she thought it seemed weird that the University would give away that much money during a time like this.
our University will be rewarded with threequarters of a million dollars for sticking around for another nine weeks.
Fran Scheurerman, Leawood junior, said that if a bonus was "what it takes to keep a guy like that around then I'm all for it."
"There's always news of something new being cut or losing money because of the economy," Clark said. "It's just strange he would be making that much more money when they make it seem like KU doesn't have any money to spare."
But Scheurerman said she opposed the $750,000 reward for retention over such a short period of time.
Perkins is among the highestpaid athletic directors in the nation, and the original $1.3 million bonus promised in his contract should serve as more than enough incentive for him to remain at the University until the end of June. The costs of the

bonus more than outweigh the marginal benefit of increasing the incentive by such a conspicuous sum of money. The University has already received criticism for the decision, and Hemenway, by agreeing to the bonus right before he leaves office, is in effect tying the hands of the incoming administration.
The unusually poor timing of the $750,000 bonus raises questions about Hemenway's judgment in the waning days of his administration. Any retention bonus for Perkins should wait until the new chancellor takes office, and it should certainly entail a commitment by Perkins to stay at the University for a period longer than nine weeks. It should be up to next year's University administration to weigh the costs and benefits of retaining the athletics director.

ENVIRONMENT
Consumption causes harm whether buying green or not
environmental improvements: alternative energies, new technologies and green products. We were shown all the different things that we, the consumers, can invest in or purchase to reduce our impact on the environment.
During these past couple of weeks, we've learned about a host of new
The truth of the matter, however, is that these innovations all take for granted our current level of consumption; and the current level of consumption is not sustainable. By focusing on what we should buy, we avoid asking whether we are buoying too much.
Our economy, and those who seek profit within it, is leading us over the cliff of Earth's carrying capacity. Instead of thinking about how to extract more profit from consumers, the great creativity of the human mind would be better put toward developing new power structures where people, not profit, are put first.
We used to assume that we had an endless supply of natural resources and an unending

waste-basket capacity on Earth. Now, however, we are beginning to recognize that we indeed live in a world of finite resources. Oil and metal supplies are stressed. Drinking water and arable land are scarce. We'll never produce energy clean enough, a car efficient enough or a Clorox that's green enough to maintain our extravagant level of consumption.
The disconnect between our levels of consumption and the world's limited resources can be seen on campus. Last week, Lauren Keith, Wichita junior, writing as a guest columnist expressed her dismay about how environmentalists have become stuck in a rut of consumption by tapping into a growing consumer movement.
But the unfortunate fact
of the matter is that reducing consumption is not profitable. Thus, the invisible hand cannot point us in the right direction. The underlying forces that perpetuate our ecological problems are our capitalistic economic system and our culture of individualism. By channeling the money into the hands of the few and inducing high levels of consumption, we have laid the groundwork for most of the environmental degradation that we see today.
To move forward, we have to break from the status quo and put our creativity toward developing new systems of organization, which democratize our resources and put the modes of production and planning in the hands of the majority instead of the minority. Focusing on the underlying causes of our environmental problems, and not which "green" products to buy, is what environmentalism is really about.

RELATIONSHIPS
Society often ignores stereotypes about men
Stereotypes about the differences between men and women abound in our society. Some are so prevalent that it's easy to forget how wrong they may be and how they can affect our relationships.Often while fighting to reduce female stereotypes, we overlook those about men.
Stereotype No. 1: Guys don't cry They have just as many feelings as girls. Sure, there are guys who are truly lacking in the emotional realm, but some girls are like that too. Guys are born with the same fears as girls, but as they develop, guys are told from a variety of sources that they aren't supposed to have — or at least show — emotion. If magazine ads full of skinny girls can take the blame for the rise of anorexia, then surely the media can be said to affect the psychology of males.
But assuming men are less sensitive is one of the more dangerous beliefs to hold. I've seen girls who are rather abusive to their partners, teasing and putting them down constantly because the girls simply don't realize they're doing anything wrong. After all, if a guy doesn't have feelings, then why bother not hurting them?
Stereotype No. 2: Guys always forget anniversaries. We see this stereotype as the plot of run-of-the-mill sitcoms practically every day. But guys are not idiots. They can remember that the Porsche 911 was first produced in1963; that Apollo 13 launched on April 11, 1970; and that "Wrath of the Lich King" was released on November 13, 2008. I've often wondered why this stereotype exists, whether it's true, and, if so, why guys are so forgetful when it comes to the romantic stuff. I know I'm as forgetful of dates as my boyfriend (OK, a little more forgetful). After a conversation with my boyfriend, I wasn't
COLLEGIATE COUPLING TAYLOR CLOSSIN
Stereotype No. 3: Sex is the most important thing to guys. One of the most surprising things my boyfriend admitted to me when we first starting going out was that he had feared that I would end up as a one-night stand. Girls have an often unfounded idea of how guys view sex. Just because a guy is interested, it does not mean he is interested only in sex, despite what your mother told you. Guys care just as much about the emotional side of a relationship. I've learned that they are not universally selfish; that their personal pleasure and satisfaction does not always take priority over everything else.
It's not exactly a revelation to realize the falsity behind these stereotypes. But sometimes stereotypes can be so prevalent that it's hard to escape from them. These lingering preconceptions can affect your relationship, whether you've been with the person for years or have just started dating.
much closer to figuring it out. But I did realize a few things. It's not because guys don't think it's important. It's not because they don't understand why it's important. It seems to be that it has something to do with the way men and women prioritize. For example, when I asked my boyfriend for a random fact, he admitted that he remembers his mother's birthday because it's the same month and day Apollo 13 launched.

Videogames unfairly restricted
Video games have seen a huge rise in popularity in the past few years. The industry's broadening of its audience deserves part of the credit for the recent success. Games are no longer just for little kids.
If a seller wants to cater to a market of family-friendly consumers, that is perfectly fine. The problem arises when the government tries to control the content sold or the content created.
According to The New York Times, the average age of a video game player is 30, and that number may increase in the future. But despite the mature age of average gamers, games are constantly being monitored for fear that they may corrupt young people.
A Japanese game publisher has announced its plans to release "Six Days in Fallujah," based on the Second Battle of Fallujah from the current Iraq War. A
public outcry has formed, and many are trying to ban the game before it is released. Although it may be controversial to make a game based on an ongoing event, it certainly should not merit a punishment. Creating controversial media is allowed through the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The government took the right course by declining to act.
The content that juveniles view should be monitored by their parents. Gaming organizations have given parents the tools needed to make wise decisions about what games and movies to allow or restrict for their children. Although laws prohibiting the sale of restricted content to adolescents will not hurt the situation, they may be more trouble than they are worth. Laws that will hurt, however, are the ones that restrict game content in general. If that gets restricted, then what is next?

KC's Bannister pitches the Royals to a 7-1 victory against Blue Jays
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brian Bannister gave up one hit over seven innings and Jose Guillen hit two homers to lead the Kansas City Royals over the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 on Monday night.
The Blue lays entered the game leading the majors in runs, batting average and slugging percentage, but Bannister limited them to Adam Lind's first-inning single. Bannister walked six, including five of the first 14 batters he faced.
Bannister (2-0) has allowed one run and five hits in 13 innings in winning his two starts since being recalled April 22 from Triple-A Omaha. He retired 13 of the last 14 Blue Jays he faced.

Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Josh Freeman isn't offering any bold predictions, just a promise to do everything possible to be the player the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are counting on to lead them back among the NFL's elite.
"I have no idea how it's going to work out. All I know is I'm going to do everything within my power to make the Buccaneers a better football team," the former Kansas State star said Monday.
The Bucs envision him developing into a franchise quarterback, but aren't necessarily expecting him to contribute right away.
"Whether that's playing this year, not playing this year, playing
a couple of years down the road being the man. Whatever it takes, whatever helps this team win, I'm ready to do."
Freeman was the 17th selection in the draft, the first quarter-back taken by the
Bucs in the first round since Trent Dilfer in 1994.
"Whatever it takes, whatever helps this team win, I'm ready to do."
The pick was not a hit with Bucs fans, who know little about Freeman because they rarely had an opportunity to watch his college

games on television.
JOSH FREEMAN Tampa Bay quarterback
"I've been part of this organization for 14 years, and I got to start with it when (Derrick) Brooks and (Warren) Sapp stepped in the door. So I understand this town and how important defense is to it," said Mark Dominik.
Dominik took over as general manager in January and has made significant changes on both sides of the ball.
"The year before I got here is the last time we took a quarterback in the first round, so I knew that there was going to be some reservations about that consider-
big what this town is so used to. But I'm excited about what we did in terms of the direction and long-term plan for this franchise."
Freeman, one of three quarterbacks selected in the first round, is not fazed by the reaction. He feels he's every bit as
good, if not better, than Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez.
Although he didn't win as many games at Kansas State as Stafford with Georgia and Sanchez with
Southern California, Freeman believes he has the strongest arm of the three and that his size (6-foot-6, 248 pounds) and strength are assets, too.
I'm from a smaller school that maybe didn't have the national spotlight all time, didn't win as many games as the other guys. I expect a little bit of this. I but I hear here great fans

so I think if I go out and play well,
they'll have no complaints then."
"He's the long-term answer, there's no doubt about that."
The Bucs say they won't rush Freeman, who joins Byron Leftwich, Brian Griese, Luke McCown and Josh Johnson on the roster.
First-year coach Raheem Morris expects to take four of them to training camp.
Freeman is eager to begin learning the offense, adding that he doesn't have any preconceived notion about whether it would be more beneficial to him for the Bucs to play him right away or bring him along slowly.
"I think both situations have pros and cons," said Freeman, who's known Morris since the Bucs coach was defensive coordinator
RAHEEM MORRIS Tampa Bay coach
at Kansas State for one season in 2006 — the quarterback's freshman year.
"It's more than just knowing the playbook," Freeman said. "It's a matter of understanding the concepts and where exactly to go with
the ball.
"When the coaches feel like I'm ready, and that I'm the best option to go out on the field, then that's when I expect to do it. I don't expect to go out when there is a better option. And, I do expect to be the
best option. It's just a matter of time."
While Morris doesn't want to place limitations on Freeman, he also doesn't want to rush the 21-year-old's development.
It wouldn't be the first time, Freeman became the starter at Kansas State less than a month into his freshman season.
"He's the long-term answer, there's no doubt about that," the coach said. "But if he forces his will ... and becomes the best quarterback, there's a good chance you'll see him play."
"We didn't have a whole lot of talent around us, but every time he'd walk on the field you felt you had a chance to win with this guy leading you," Morris said.

Swine flu fears force CONCACAF to cancel end of under-17 championship
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico and the United States had clinched spots in the semifinals of the tournament, being played in Tijuana. But after the Mexican government announced it was closing schools nationwide, CONCAFAF said Monday it would abandon the tournament "to safeguard the health of players, officials and fans."
NEW YORK — Concerns about swine flu prompted CONCACAF to cancel the rest of its under-17 soccer championship in Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak.
Health officials say 20 deaths in Mexico are confirmed to be from swine flu, which is also suspected of causing more than 100 other deaths there.
"Our primary concern is the safety of our athletes and all of the athletes that were involved in the tournament," said Neil Buetle, spokesman for U.S. Soccer. "If CONCACAF feels this is the best

The semifinals of the U-17 tournament were scheduled for Wednesday in Tijuana, with the championship and third-place matches on Saturday. All four teams will advance to the U-17 World Cup, which is Oct. 24-Nov. 15 in Nigeria.
CONCACAF, soccer's governing body for the North and Central American and Caribbean regions, also postponed the second leg of its Champions League finals until May 12. Cruz Azul and Atlante FC, both Mexican teams, were to play Wednesday in Cancun for the title of CONCACAF's best club team.
Mexico City has been hit hardest by the swine flu epidemic, and many sports have already taken measures to help stem the outbreak. Three football games were played behind closed doors last weekend.

Former Chiefs coach dies of surgery complications
DALLAS—Former Kansas City Chiefs coach Frank Gansz, who spent much of his NFL and collegiate career working with special teams, died Monday at a Dallas hospital.
SMU spokesman Brad Sutton said Gansz developed complications after undergoing knee replacement surgery last week and died Monday afternoon. Gansz had been special teams coach for the Mustangs last year.
"In his over 30 years in foot ball, Frank was a tremendous coach, a beloved teacher and an outstanding person," Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "He will be missed."
SMU coach June Jones said he was saddened by Gansz's death.
"Frank has been a second father to me for the past 30 years and he has touched the lives of many, both at SMU and throughout the National Football League," Jones said in a statement. "I was lucky to have known Frank, and not only was he a wonderful person, but he was a father to everyone he has ever coached. He will live on with us. My team will miss him as a coach and mentor, but most of all, I will miss him as my best friend."
Other steps included special teams coordinator for Jacksonville, Atlanta, St. Louis and Detroit, as well as stints at Philadelphia, Cincinnati and San Francisco. He was on the Rams' staff for their 2000 Super Bowl win.
Gansz, who was 70, coached for 38 years, 24 in the NFL. He was head coach of the Chiefs from 1987-88. He also was an assistant for the Chiefs twice before taking over the head coaching job.
Former NFL coach Dick Vermeil said in a story for Monday's online edition of The Dallas Morning News that the Rams wouldn't have won the Super Bowl without Gansz.
"He was the finest football coach I ever worked with," Vermeil said. "The quality of the human being matched his coaching skills. ... His vibrancy will live forever in the people that he touched."
.
The Altoona, Pa, native played college football for Navy. After serving as a pilot in the Air Force, he was on the coaching staff at the Air Force Academy, UCLA, Oklahoma State, Army, Navy and Colgate.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara; daughter, Jennifer; and son, Frank Jr., an assistant coach at UCLA.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

Garry Stidham, a Johnson County Community College student transferring to the University of Kansas in the fall, celebrates his 21st birthday April 17 at Jazzhaus, a popular bar in downtown Lawrence. Factors such as a constant comingling of those who are of legal drinking age and those who are not, massive amounts of alcohol advertising and inexpensive midweek drink specials contribute to a drinking culture in Lawrence that is sometimes seen as excessive.
Lawrence, KU culture may contribute to students' high levels of alcohol consumption

Slouched into his couch, the KU senior laughed about his early efforts to make fake IDs for his friends. It sometimes took him four or five attempts to get it right, using a home printer and lamination papers he bought online for 25 cents apiece.
"Now I can make a flawless one on the first time," said the Southeast Kansas senior, who asked to remain anonymous because of the incriminating nature of his actions.
He eventually made a profit by selling knock-off Oklahoma driver's licenses, which don't have a hologram. But he said his initial motivation for making the IDs wasn't for the money; he just wanted to
WHAT IS BINGE DRINKING? The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines binge drinking as a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration to 0.08 or above.

"I get to college and I am a lot older than all of my friends," he recalled. "So, when I turn 21 I'm able to go out, but it's not very much fun going and hanging out at the bars by yourself. So I had to devise some way for my friends to come and have fun with me."

Both means appear evident in the case of Wien Wren, the 19-year-old freshman from Littleton, Colo., who died March 8 after a night of heavy drinking. According to police, Wren used a fake ID to buy margaritas at a local restaurant. Afterward, Wren continued to drink at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house, downing 10 to 12 beers, boxed wine and whiskey before going to bed, said people who were with him that night.
Most KU students don't drink as much on a regular basis as Wren did that night. But with 20 bars and more than 40 restaurants that serve alcohol, Lawrence is known as a drinking town where girls make "shot books" on their 21st birthdays.

These and other factors contribute to a culture that celebrates excessive alcohol consumption.
A 2006 study by the National College Health Assessment (NCHA) surveyed a representative sample of students from 117 colleges, including more than 1,500 KU students.

Sebelius ends term early
Former governor becomes HHS secretary; Parkinson takes over
WASHINGTON - President Obama meets with the White House official who has been appointed to oversee the State Department's budget process in Washington.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is sworn in by Tim Saunders, executive clerk of the White House, as President Barack Obama holds the Bible in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington on Tuesday.
TOPEKA — Lt. Gov. Mark Parkinson, wooed from the Republican Party three years ago by Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to become her running mate, became governor Tuesday when Sebelius resigned upon her confirmation as U.S. health and human services secretary.
Parkinson, a 51-year-old former Republican legislator and party chairman, has said he did not expect to make major policy or staff changes, and that he won't run for a full four-year term next year.
A letter of resignation Sebelius submitted Tuesday became effective with the U.S. Senate's 65-31 vote approving her appointment by President Barack Obama.
The resignation automatically elevated Parkinson to the state's top elected office. He was to be formally sworn in by the Kansas Supreme Court's chief justice.
Sebelius, 60, a former state insurance commissioner and state legislator, won her first gubernatorial election in 2002. She positioned
herself as a centrist and successfully wooded moderate Republican voters, gaining national attention as she won two terms in a GOP-leaning state.
GOP legislators were waiting to see how Parkinson would deal with the state's budget problems. Sebelius has tried to avoid cuts in education funding and has advocated suspending some planned tax breaks, tapping gambling dollars and diverting funds from cities and counties to boost state revenues.
The transfer of power marked the fourth time a Kansas governor has resigned before his or her term has expired — but the first in which a governor left early to join a president's Cabinet.
LIBRARIES Watson plays host to poetry reading Thursday
To celebrate national poetry month, KU Libraries is hosting a Favorite Poems Open Mic Reading at 4 p.m. Thursday on the third floor of Watson Library. The event is open to the public and registration begins at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
Julie Buchsbaum, librarian and poet, said she and other Watson staff members looked at what other libraries across the country were doing to promote poetry and discovered that many were having poetry readings.
To Buchsbaum, poetry is a way of thinking and being different in the world. She said there was a benefit from reading poetry aloud.
"When you are performing your work in front of an audience, you suddenly become aware of the language in an entirely new way," Buchsbaum said. "It's kind of like putting it under a microscope because you can gage from the audience's reaction or lack of reaction whether it elicits any response or emotion from them."
There is a five-minute time limit to read a poem and students can choose to read their own work or someone else's.
This is the first year a series of events has been created to
highlight National Poetry Month, said Rebecca Smith, KU Libraries director of public relations and advancement.

FUNERAL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Family and friends spoke of Dalton's "dazzling smile," the potential of his impressive academic abilities and the pain of no longer having him around. Dalton had last gone home to Shawnee to spend time with his family the Sunday before he died.
"You were always the brightest one around," said Makenzie Hawkins, Dalton's younger sister. "You were more than perfect. Eighteen years with you was not long enough."
Jayson Jenks, Shawnee freshman and sportswriter for The University Dally Kansan, spoke on behalf of a group of about 15 of Dalton's close friends. Jenks
said none of the friends knew quite what they wanted to say at the service at first, but then they gathered around a table and shared favorite memories of their close friend.
Jens shared a story of a camping trip the group took together that ended with Dalton's infectious laughter.
"With Dalton goes a piece of our hearts." Jenks said.
Fangman said the standing- room only crowd showed how much Dalton was loved and that all the mourners were suffering a great loss.
"It's obvious Dalton was a very special person," Fangman said.
"And the awful reality is that life will never be the same without him."
Fangman spoke of the range of emotions Dalton's loved ones were experiencing — from anger to grief to shock — as they attempted to wrestle with the many unanswered questions surrounding his death.
Tim Hawkins, Dalton's uncle, used Dalton's love of cycling as a metaphor for his loved ones' attempts to remember Dalton.
"The wonderful memories on the ride through Big D's life," he said. "These are the memories that will ride with us forever."

to LGBT Americans.
He said the panel would consist of two students, two professors and an 82-year-old former minister.
"I think we can have a seriously engaging discussion with the audience, whether they are gay or straight," Adkison said. "It'll be entertaining, it'll be educating and it will also raise awareness."
George Paris, the former minister who worked as state director for campus ministry for a Methodist church, said he thought the panel would be helpful for everyone involved.
"A lot of people have the problem of coming out to their parents." Paris said, "I had the problem of coming out to my children."
Paris was born in 1927 and started having sex with men in
college, but he got married in an attempt to suppress his sexuality
He did not come out to his five adult children until he was 70, after his wife passed away.
Paris said the discussion would give the panelists an opportunity to talk about their different experiences as gay people in the modern world and what that meant in today's culture.
Ashlynn Horras, educational outreach coordinator for Queers and Allies, said the panel would help her revise future panels to include important questions.
Horras, Knoxville, Iowa, junior, said the more she told her story and heard others', the more she appreciated her family's support.
"I think a panel like this gives the audience a unique look into the queer community and the opportunity to ask questions they
might not have thought of before or haven't had the chance to ask," Horras said.
Adkison said the audience would be free to ask any questions or discuss any topics that interested them at the panel discussion.
Horras said she was interested to hear what the older panelists thought about current events such as the passing of gay marriage laws and the use of the word "gay."
"We're trying to reach the student body who has never asked a queer person these questions," Horras said. "Students don't see enough multigenerational panels, and there's a lot to be gained from the wisdom of those older than you."

ALCOHOL POISONING
What can alcohol poisoning do to your body?
Alcohol depresses nerves that control involuntary actions such as breathing and the gag reflex, which prevents choking. A fatal dose of alcohol will eventually stop these functions
It is common for someone who drinks excessively to vomit, because alcohol is a stomach irritant. Another danger is choking on vomit, which could cause death by asphyxiation in a person who is unconscious because of intoxication.

A person's blood alcohol concentration can continue to rise even while he or she is passed out. After a person stops drinking, alcohol in the stomach and intestine continues to enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. It is dangerous to assume a person will be fine by sleeping it off.
Critical signs of alcohol poisoning

- Slow breathing (fewer than eight breaths per minute)

- Know the danger signals.
- Do not wait for all symptoms to be present.
- If there is any suspicion of an alcohol overdose, call 911 for help. Don't try to guess
- Be aware that a person who has passed out may die.
What can happen to someone with alcohol poisoning that goes untreated?
- Victim chokes on his or her own vomit.
- Breathing slows, becomes irregular, or stops.
- Heart beats irregularly or stops.
- Hypothermia (low body temperature).
- Hypoglycemia (too little blood sugar) leads to seizures.

- Even if the victim lives, an alcohol overdose can lead to irreversible brain damage.
- vomiting can cause seizures, permanent brain damage, or death
- Rapid binge drinking (which often happens on a bet or a dare) is especially dangerous because the victim can ingest a fatal dose before becoming unconscious.
Don't be afraid to seek medical help for a friend who has had too much to drink. Don't worry that your friend may become angry or embarrassed. Remember, you cared enough to help. Always be safe, not sorry.

A SHOT OF REALITY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
In the same survey, 47 percent of KU students admitted to drinking and driving within the past 30 days, doubling the national average for the same question of 23 percent.
When asked about driving after consuming five or more drinks, 18 percent of KU respondents said they had, compared with the national average of 4 percent.
Several aspects of college life help create a culture in which students binge drink, often more so than people their age who are not in college. Researchers say these contributors include communal living arrangements such as residence halls and Greek housing, the co-mingling of underage and of age students, increased amounts of unstructured time, and a high number of alcohol ads targeted at college students.
LIFE ON CAMPUS
The smell of day-old Ramen, burnt popcorn and cheap beer permeates the hallways of McColum Hall. As the University's largest dorm, McCollum houses about 900 students. With so many shared aspects of living, it's impossible for students to avoid interacting with other residents. Card games, movie nights and video games all add to the atmosphere of residence hall life.
A robust social scene is one of the main attractions of life in University residence halls and Greek houses. However, a 2000 study by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, or NIAAA, showed that living in residence halls or Greek housing was also one of the main factors that leads to student drinking.
"One of the reasons that we encourage people to live on campus is for socialization," said Diana Robertson, director of the Department of Student Housing. "But hopefully for good, not evil."
About 5,000 KU students live in some form of University housing, either in residence halls, oncampus apartments or scholarship halls. About 2,400 students live in greek houses. Together, these students make up approximately 36 percent of the undergraduate population.
Lindsey Coggins, Waterville freshman, said it was hard to pass up drinking when living in McCollum Hall. She said many McCollum residents drink regularly in the dorm.
some every night. Coggins said that despite the rules, it's no problem sneaking alcohol into rooms.
Coggins said she and her friends once snuck about $90 worth of alcohol into McCollum in a beer box by disguising it as a gift, complete with wrapping paper and a bow.
"This was within the first couple weeks of school starting, and we were pretty nervous about bringing in alcohol." Coggins said. "So we tried to do the most innocent thing we could think of."
"A backpack, a purse, anything you can find, you can sneak into your room," she said.

Jay Wren, Jason's father, has called on Sigma Alpha Epsilon and other fraternities to go dry, or to accept only members who are 21 and older because of what he called the apparent lack of supervision within the SAE house.
Phi Delta Theta is the University's only dry fraternity, meaning alcohol is prohibited. All KU sororities are considered dry.
Although Schlitt said alcohol ads were important to The Kansan, he said apartment ads were "the bread and butter" of The Kansan's advertising revenue.
SAE has made no announcement to date about going dry.
Jake Gibbs, Santa Fe, N.M.,
In a 2001 Harvard School of Public Health college alcohol study, research showed that fraternity members were more likely to participate in heavy drinking than their non-fraternity peers, 75 percent versus 49 percent. The study showed that 62 percent of sorority members engaged in heavy drinking, compared with 41 percent of non-greek female students.
All KU fraternities and sororities are privately owned, allowing them to make their own rules regarding alcohol.
senior and member of Sigma Chi, said much of the greek social life is centered on drinking, which can sometimes get out of hand if people aren't responsible. He said, however
that Wren's death should be a wake-up call to all students, not just to members of the greek community.
Living in the Sigma Chi house for two years often led Gibbs to drink more than he might have otherwise. He said he drinks less now that he lives off-campus.

fines to those caught with alcohol in the houses.
"If you don't drink cheap beer or take shots of cheap vodka, you probably won't drink," Bloom said.

After living in Russia for severa years, Jenny Geide said she decided that alcohol wasn't for her. She said she witnessed a lot of excessive drinking, which turned her off from wanting to drink.
When he was 10 years old, his parents promised him $1,000 if he refrained from drinking until turning 21.
"I always feel weird when I tell them," Kindle said.
"Being exposed to that culture, I saw that I didn't want to live like that," Geide said.
She said the choice to abstain from alcohol was made easier because she had supportive friends with similar values.
"I don't really believe that I should be drinking," Geide said, "especially to get drunk."
Geide said her Christian faith and guidance from her parents also motivated her to not drink.
"My friends and I have tons of fun all the time and drinking is never involved," Geide said.
"There's lots to do without going to parties. You just need to find the right friends."
ADVERTISING
Whether it be Bud Light's 'Men of Genius' commercials, Jayplay's back cover with weekly drink specials, or brightly colored ads for local bars chalked across campus sidewalks, students are inundated with alcohol advertising.
The NIAAA study identified a high number of advertisements targeted at college students as another factor linked to heavy drinking.
David Jernigan, executive director of the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth, said the alcohol industry glamorized and misrepresented the use of alcohol in advertisements.
"The majority of college students are not getting drunk every weekend," Jernigan said. "But you wouldn't know that from seeing alcohol advertisements."
Jenny McKee, health educator at Watkins' Wellness Resource Center, said she gave presentations to classes about the misperceptions of alcohol use by KU students. McKee often asks classes to guess what percentage of their peers drink.
"It never fails, they always say 99 or 100 percent," McKee said. "But we know that's just not true."
Jernigan, also an associate professor of health, behavior and society at Johns Hopkins University, said underage people are more exposed to alcohol advertising than people of legal age.

"The real question is:
Why aren't we having more deaths?"
JOHN DREES Community education specialist at Lawrence Memorial Hospital
"Study after study has found
that the more alcohol advertisements people are exposed to, the more likely they are to drink, and to drink heavily" lennihan said.
Jon Schlitt, sales and marketing adviser for The University Daily Kansan, said the
"Alcohol is a legal product, pending that you are over the age of 21, so therefore we do welcome advertising from our local bars," Schlitl said.
majority of alcohol-related ads ran on Thursdays, because Thursday is a popular night for students to go out.
The options for students of where, what and how much to drink can sometimes be overwhelming. As in Wren's case, this range of choices can sometimes lead to dangerous behavior.
Although Schlitt said alcohol ads were important to The Kansan, he said apartment ads were "the bread and butter" of The Kansan's advertising revenue.
Schlitt said the advertising staff doesn't run ads that promote underage or binge drinking.
In 2008, Lawrence Memo
"We want our bars to run creative ads, and we want them to get people in the door," Schlitt said. "But at the same time, we want to make sure that they're following the law."

Adam Luke, Wichita junior, takes a shot with friends at Jazzhaus. Luke often frequents the establishment Tuesday nights for the $1.50 "almost anything" drink special. Lawrence residents can typically find cheap drink specials every night of the week, a contributing factor to Lawrence's reputation as a party town. Jazzhaus is one of about60 establishments in Lawrence that serve alcohol.

Jenny McKee of Wellness Center gives tips on how to protect yourself when you drink.
rial Hospital's emergency room treated 1,526 patients for alcohol-related issues, 273 of which were college students. 365 were treated for alcohol poisoning.
"Drinking in Lawrence is an epidemic," said John Drees, the hospital's community education specialist.
After working the overnight weekend shift as an ER nurse at the hospital, Drees said, he and other hospital staffers had adopted a dark sense of humor.
He recalled a night when a fellow nurse started dancing a jig in the nurses' station while she exclaimed, "I have a sober patient! I have a sober patient!"
He said the joking helped him deal with the situation.
"It's very human, you know, and it actually gets you kind of depressed because you're going. 'How much can this happen?' Drees said.
McKee said most students don't understand the dangers of binge drinking.
She said the standard definition
of binge drinking is consecutive consumption of five drinks for men and four drinks for women. One drink is measured as a one-ounce shot, 12-ounce beer, or a 4.5-ounce glass of wine. McKee said one drink could raise the typical person's blood alcohol concentration by .02 percent. The legal limit is .08 percent.
She said many students she counseled have easily exceeded that amount on a regular basis.
"That seems like pre-gaming to them," McKee said. "That's not what they think binge drinking is."
A popular excuse for binge drinking is tailgating at home football games. The time-honored tradition attracts thousands of fans who barbecue and drink hours before kickoff.
Joseph Weeks, St. Paul, Minn., junior, said he often woke up with hangovers on game days. But he said he would force himself to drink with his friends, even if he wasn't in the mood.
"If it's a big game, I'l probably

A 2007 University of Texas study showed that students consumed more alcohol during college sporting events than they did on Halloween and New Year's Eve, which are typically heavy drinking days for college students.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, of the KU Public Safety Office, said law enforcement regulated drinking on game days. On an otherwise dry campus, drinking is allowed in the areas surrounding Memorial Stadium from three hours before kickoff until the end of halftime.
Drees, of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, pointed to drinking games — beer pong, card games, and power hours — as dangerous contributors to binge drinking at the University.
"The real question is: Why aren't we having more deaths?" Drees said.
"Tailgating is not synonymous with drinking," Bailey said. "There is nothing that says that you have to have alcohol in order to tailgate."
The Alcoholic Beverage Control estimates that in Douglas County, about $73 million each year, or $200,000 each day, is spent on alcohol at bars, restaurants, grocery stores and liquor stores. That's enough to buy about 1,000 8-gigabyte iPhones, 33,000 Jimmy John's sandwiches or 80,000 loads of laundry each day.
The Southeast Kansas senior made about 50 IDs, sometimes selling them for as much as $60 to $120. He said he made about $1,250 during the course of two years. Despite the potential for profit, he didn't recommend that anyone else make fakes.
Bailey said he had witnessed a shift in recent years of students drinking more heavily and going out with the sole intention of passing out.
"The risks of that far outweigh the benefits of just having fun," he said. "It's not worth it all."
He said he didn't think fake IDs contributed to underage drinking, because he said most underage students found other ways to get alcohol.
"They're gonna drink whether they have a fake or not," he said.

Summer album releases that shouldn't be missed
MUSIC
Elevated temperatures and vast supplies of sunshine often signify a lot of things
For one, the temptation to coast through these last few weeks abounds. Tight tank tops and miniscule shorts hold on for dear life to the fairer sex, stealing the attention of ogling onlookers.
Because earning a diploma and maintaining relationships still hold value, let us instead examine another cause for joy: spring and summer music. This column will likely disappoint you. Seeing as we're already 100 words deep into a column allotted finite space, some of your favorite and most anticipated music will be left out.
But (radio edit) it. Let's get started.

Produced by Brendan O'Brien — who's worked with Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Rage Against the Machine — this is metal so over the top it's truly epic. Mastodon burst onto the scene with 2002's "Remission" and has continued a penchant for massive themes with its fourth offering.
"Crack the Skye," by Mastodon (Released March 29): Also released, this is simply the best metal album by a band new to this decade.

Seven tracks comprise "Crack the Skye." Each is an integral piece to a set that tells a story, making it necessary to own the entire album.

■ "Relapse" by Eminem (May 19): Here's hoping we get similar elements that made his two "LP" records classics and "The Eminem Show" equally great and not the fart and Rastafarian Martian sounds of "Encore."
No man entices controversy like Eminem and in that regard, his first single, "We Made You," has succeeded. Among the subjects he roasts to a crisp in the video: Bret Michaels, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Simpson, Amy Winehouse, Sarah Palin and Lindsay Lohan.
He does come close to that stoney alien voice I fear. Close, but not close enough to make the song unworthy of praise.
The song itself isn't bad. In fact, it grows on you after a few spins.
The album rides momentum built by the previously released single "Crack a Bottle" with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, and the recently leaked "3AM," a disturbing track about a serial killer that is every bit infectious as it is grisly, its lyrics as shocking as its flow uncanny.

Fear not. The trio returns armed for further revolutionary anthems.

COMS130 requirement illogical
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and in six of the 10 undergraduate professional schools are required to take a course to fulfill the argument and reason requirement. Some students take a philosophy class to fulfill the requirement, but students in some schools are required to take COMS 130. Speaker and Audience
did not enjoy public speaking and wished that the class had addressed more than just giving speeches.
Leigha Woods, Olathe junior, said her communications studies class focused on the process of writing a speech. She said creating outlines should not have been the focus of the class. Woods said she
Communication. These classes don't fulfill their purpose. Although some students find the classes useful, many say they are a waste of time and money.
Joel Layton, Lenexa sophomore, said communication studies classes should not require students to use a general format for their speeches
The University should drop this requirement to allow students more time to take classes that are of interest to them and will be more useful to their maiors.
"It would have been more helpful if it had focused on getting over stage fright." Woods said.
Layton said that some techniques taught in the class were useful, but that successful speakers did not make generic speeches.

The speaker and audience communication course is not useful to students because it focuses on format. The University requires this class so students learn to argue and reason well, but the courses that
presume to fulfill this requirement don't really teach students that skill.
Amanda Ely, West Chester, Pa., senior, said she took a philosophy class to fulfill the requirement. Ely said that the purpose of the requirement was for students to learn to make sense of arguments, but that the feedback she received on her work in the philosophy class was not constructive.
"If we're going to have this requirement, an analytical writing course would be more beneficial." Ely said. "You would get more feedback on your work."
General education requirements are designed to provide students with a well-rounded liberal arts education, but in practice, the argument and reason requirement contributes little to this education. It should be replaced with electives more practical to the goals of individual students.

CAMPUS
Excessive meal plans, fees cause unfair waste
Deep into a recession, everyone is aware that we are living in times
of economic turmoll. Everyone that is, except for some members of this fine institution of higher learning we attend.
While paying for my sack lunch at The Studio yesterday, I was appalled to see that the number of my remaining meals on the cash register read 74. With only two weeks left of school, you do the math.
I caught on to this game early in the year and changed my meal plan to the lowest possible amount before starting the spring semester. Yet I still find myself with a hefty surplus of Mrs. E's fine dining. If I cannot manage to use all my meals with the smallest meal plan, how much waste can we expect from students who overestimated the number of meals they needed? And most freshmen can attest to the difficulty of gauging their meal habits for the first year of college.
"I think we should get our money back, because a lot of people just spend all of their money at The Studio to get rid of it towards the end of the year," said Marshall Dwyre, Ingalls freshman. "And that's money that we could be spending in a more useful way."
As much as I enjoy throwing money out the window, it is ridiculous that all unused meals and cuisine cash are simply "forfeited" at the end of the school year without any sort of refund or roll-over to the next year.
Another commodity wasted is the money that all students are given for printing. $8 a year for printing seems to be the result of poor budgeting. One can assume that most people in college have their own computers, and thus their own printers. If, say, 10,000 people don't use their allotted

PERSPECTIVE

I'm not trying to bash everything that is incorporated into campus fees. I personally take advantage of most of them. But surely it's possible to design a way for students to pay for only the things they actually use.
There are also a few things included in the required campus fees that are not advantageous to all students, yet we are still forced to pay more than $800 for them each academic year. The rec center, for example is something every student pays for, yet not everybody uses. The rec is great when you're living on campus, but I know from my own apartment search for next year that many complexes provide their own workout centers.
As a freshman, I am grateful that I began school this year and was able to get in on the tuition compact. It is a great stepping stone to help students save money. However, there is so much more that can be done to help students get an education without all the extra costs. I am proud to attend this University, but I know I'm not the only one paying for it all with student loans. I am attending college to get an education, not to waste $9 per meal for cafeteria food and to go to the rec.

Lack of poise doomed pageant contestant
Carrie Prey ranner-up at the Miss USA 2009 pageant, caused a stir when she stumbled her way through a trap question from judge Perez Hilton about gay marriage.
Hilton said he would not have let her win the pageant following her answer. But it was not what Prejain said that lost her the crown. It was how she said it.
"Well, I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. Um, we live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage, and, you know what, in my country and in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should
be between a man and a woman," Prejean said.
Beauty pageants are judged on style and poise. Prejane showed little of either in her answer. Perhaps she should have pandered to the judge. Perhaps she should be respected for sticking to her beliefs. (A majority of Americans agree with Prejan. A 2008 CBS News poll found that 33 percent of Americans support same-sex marriage.)
The Miss USA Pageant is hardly a progressive atmosphere, either. In 2002, on-camera interview time was cut to make way for more bikini time. No one really cares what these girls think. Prejean failed because she called marriage between a man and a woman "opposite marriage."

Kansas sweeps WSU in Wichita
BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com
Fresh off scoring 15 runs during the weekend against Baylor, Kansas softball staved on the offensive.
The Jayhawks racked up 12 runs in the doubleheader Tuesday against Wichita State, including five home runs. Kansas (20-28, 5-9) swept the Shockers with 9-2 and 3-0 victories at Wilkins Stadium in Wichita.
"It felt so good because we brought out our momentum from Baylor," sophomore Allie Clark said. "We just felt really good and kept swinging like we had all weekend."
The Jayhawks blasted the Shockers in the opener, and eight starters combined for 13 hits against the Wichita State pitching staff.
"It's great when you get production, not just from one person, but from the entire lineup," coach Tracy Bunge said. "It was a real solid team effort."
Senior catcher Elle Potterf put Kansas up 1-0 with an RBI single in the first inning and extended the lead to 3-0 with a two-RBI double in the third. Next up was Clark, who smashed her ninth home run of the year. Sophomore Liz Kocon also had a big day at the plate, homering twice and knocking in four runs.
"It felt really good to hit like that as a team," Kocon said. "And for me to break out of my slump too, it was big."
Meanwhile, senior Valerie George and junior Sarah Vertelka handled the Shockers from the circle. George worked the first three innings and allowed only two hits. Vertelka relieved her in the fourth and pitched the final four frames, allowing two runs.
That pitching would be important, because the second game wasn't nearly as lopsided.
"They were both very good today," Bunge said. "They pitched to their strengths and had good movement."
Clark started the scoring in the second inning by putting the Jayhawks up 1-0 with a home run. The blast was Clark's fifth home run in the past seven games. Three batters later, senior left fielder Stevie Crisosto blasted a long ball of her own, making it 3-0. The rout appeared to be on.
But Kansas couldn't pull away. Wichita State pitcher Kasha Kolb settled down, holding the Jayhawks hitless the rest of the game. Kolb rebounded from a poor outing in game one to allow only three hits while striking out nine.
DOUBLE DOMINATION
Luckily for Kansas, its pitching staff was more than up for the task.
Vertelka began the game in the circle, allowing only one hit through four scoreless innings. Then George emerged from the bullpen and blanked Wichita State for the final three frames while striking out six and picking up the save. The two combined to one-hit the Shockers, allowing only three base-runners in the contest.
"We definitely had a lot of fun out there," George said. "It felt really good to beat them like that, so we should have a lot of confidence for Thursday."
The jayhawks return home to battle Texas A&M (29-18, 6-8).
Thursday's doubleheader marks the final two home games of the season.
"It's A&M, they're always a good team," Kocon said. "Hopefully we can just keep this momentum going, have fun and finish the season with a bang."

It would have been almost impossible for Bollman to not pick up his fifth victory with the way he pitched the second game

"My slider was working real good," Bollman said. "I was able to get my fastball inside on their hands early and then be able to throw my slider with two strikes, get them out."

COMMENTARY
Early picks in NFL draft prove to be perplexing
BY ALEX BEECHER
abeecher@kansan.com
It seems that everyone's an expert. But despite the illusion of omniscience, I'm not sure enough of these gurus actually watched Big 12 football last year. In fact, I'm not sure they watched any.
How else can you explain Michael Crabtree being selected after Darius Heyward-Bey? You could simply grant that the Raiders' brain trust is in fact brain dead and move on, but there's more to it than that. Because of a foot injury, Crabtree was unable to workout at the combine, and he allegedly performed poorly in individual workouts. He was selected 10th, which means eight teams who aren't run by Al Davis passed on him as well. And though every team in the top 10 certainly had other needs, it's awfully hard to justify not picking the best college wideout since Larry Fitzgerald, who also ran underwhelming pre-draft 40-yard-dash times.
Rivera's situation is more puzzling. At 6-foot-3 and 254 pounds, his size is close to ideal. His 4.63 40-yard dash time and 38.5-inch vertical both indicate superior athleticism and, as with Holt, production wasn't lacking. Despite that, Rivera wasn't drafted, while such nobod... err, I mean, noteworthy talents as Weber State's J.D. Folsom were.
Move along nine more spots and you'll find Missouri playmaker Jeremy Maclin. It's said that you can tell how good a player is by how opposing fans react to him. By that standard, Maclin must be pretty damn good, because no one put more fear in the hearts of Kansas fans when he touched the football.
One of Maclin's Mizzou teammates, Chase Coffman, had to wait until the third round to hear his name called. Frankly, it's hard to see why. Coffman possesses the combination of size, athleticism, and hands that offensive coordina tors covet. Production was never a problem either — he hauled in 90 passes last season, 10 of which scored touchdowns. I'd say to expect big things from Coffman, but he was drafted by the Bengals.
In reality, neither were drafted, though both have since inked free agent deals. Holt's production was lauded, as was his character, but teams couldn't get over his lack of size. Being a good football player just ain't worth what it used to be.
Of course, disappointment in the draft is a relative measure. For Crabtree and Maclin, going 10th and 19th was bad. The same goes for Coffman's third-round selection. For Kansas linebackers James Holt and Mike Rivera, going 10th and 19th sounds like a dream scenario.
How does one make sense of all this? On one hand, impressive workout numbers can rocket a player up draft boards, but they can also be dismissed as fool's gold. Production, likewise, is treated inconsistently. Some players are credited with having "game speed," while others are just called slow.
Coming out of this draft I am sure of one only thing: Josh Freeman, and his annual Sunflower Showdown MVP performance, will be dearly missed.

COMMENTARY
I don't feel like a senior. It's hard for me to believe four years as a student at the University of Kansas are slowly coming to a close.
In 18 days, thousands of us surrounded by our friends and loved ones will swarm out of the Campanile and down the hill, the rest of our lives lying in wait. Some will swim against the current of a struggling economy. Others will transfer their academic pursuits to graduate school classrooms.
But we will all be layhawks. We will all remember the feeling of unbridled joy that followed Mario's Miracle. We will all remember the Fighting Manginos improbable run to an Orange Bowl victory and unprecedented national exposure.
Most of us will move on, but the memories won't. These are the three things I'll remember most.

Maybe it's the way he bounced back from a freshman year during which he struggled so much that he was close to heading back East. Or maybe it's just the way the public address announcer beckoned him off the bench before every game.

Wick a one-year contract
ALBANY, N.Y. — Michael Vick has a place on a minor league football team if he can get reinstated by the NFL.
The Albany Firebirds, an arenafootball2 franchise, have offered the 28-year-old quarterback a one-year contract at the league standard: $200 a week plus a $50 bonus for a win.
Vick quarterbacked the Atlanta Falcons for six seasons before being convicted of bankrolling an interstate dog fighting business.
NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell has not said if he will lift Vick's suspension after he completes a 23-month prison sentence. Vick goes from federal prison to home confinement next month.
The Firebirds' contract offer requires that Vick donate $100,000 to a local humane society.
A call to Vick's agent was not immediately returned.

Junior infielder David Nardowski reaches back to make a catch against Chicago State at Hogland Ballpark. The Jayhawks defeated the Cougars 9-1 in game two of Tuesday's doubleheader.
with Chicago State. But six unanswered runs in the seventh and eighth innings allowed Kansas to pull out an 11-5 victory.
Game two was a different story.
With Bollman working with his best stuff, the Jayhawk offense gave him an early two-run lead in the second and proceeded to score runs in the next five innings to extend the lead to nine.
Behind Narodowski's bat and Bollman's arm, Price got everyone who was healthy some atbats. After the struggle to win game one, Price was relieved that Kansas got out ahead early in the nightcap.
Junior shortstop David Narodowski's two-run single in the second was all the Jayhawks needed. Narodowski finished 2-for-4 and tied a career high with four RBIs.
As the leadoff hitter, Narodowski is used to scoring runs instead of driving them in. But he said getting RBIs was fun too.

The Jayhawks have played two doubleheaders in the past three days, with the first against Nebraska on Sunday. Fatigue could have been an excuse last
But the sweep wouldn't have been possible without Bollman. He had been under the radar all season compared with the rest of the weekend starters. And
"It's good having guys on the bottom of the lineup get on base and then having them score when I get those hits," Narodowski said.
"For Bollman to walk out there and put six zeros up, it allowed you to play everybody on your roster," Price said. "It allowed you to relax a little bit because the first game didn't start out that way."
Price said he knew Bollman, an Oklahoma native, wouldn't have it any other way.

Pitcher Bochy boosts Jayhawks after slow start
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
It was the end of the fourth inning of game one of Tuesday's doubleheader, and the Jayhawks were still tied with Chicago State (3-35). Junior starter Cameron Selik struggled through four innings of work, allowing five runs to a team that hasn't reached double figures yet this season. The Jayhawks didn't have an answer on the mound.
The Cougars didn't score again in the game.
Then, the first notes of Linkin Park's "Faint" started playing over the public address system, and sophomore Brett Bochy jogged out of the bulpen.

"Obviously, Selik struggled out of the gate for us and got behind and got hit a little bit," coach Ritch Price said. "For Bochy to go in and put five zeroes up was really, really
Bochy, son of San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy, used his usual mix of a four-seam fastball with low-90s velocity, a two-seamer with a little less velocity and more tail and an off-speed
slider to keep the Cougars' lineup off balance.
"I was just trying to get ahead of hitters, make good quality pitches every pitch," Bochy said. "Once I got ahead, I felt like I could finish them off."
Bochy allowed only two hits in five innings, walking just one while striking out a career-high nine to raise his season total to 45 strikeouts in 27.2 innings.
"My fastball has been working," Bochy said. "I've been able to locate that pretty well, and then I'm

"It's good to see his velocity way up, guys." Price said. "Now, every time we get the Inside Edge reports, it's 91 to 94. And he was flat blowing the ball tonight. He's got a good fastball, and when his fastball is down in the zone, it's tough to hit."

BASEBALL NOTES
Kansas
BUCK, BUCK,
BUCK, GONE
Time — 2:23, A—850
Senior catcher Buck Afenir crushed a ball to center field that hit the top of the wall and bounced back into the field of play.
Afenir was trotting around the bases and the theme song from "The Natural" was playing, as it does for all KU homers, but the umpires weren't as sure as everyone else.
After a brief meeting, they ended up giving Afenir the home run — the correct call.
SAFE AT HOME
The Jayhawks have now won more games at home than any team since the 1994 Jayhawks. Should Kansas win its two remaining games at home — an
entirely plausible proposition considering the quality opponents it has trumped at home it will equal the '94 squad and be second in Kansas history to the 1993 team, which went to the College World Series.
It didn't take long for him to make an impression—in his first at bat he roped a two-RBI double and scored a run.
THE PRICE IS ALL RIGHT
After being diagnosed with a concussion, he didn't make another appearance until the seventh inning of game one Tuesday.
Second baseman Roby Price left the first game of Sunday's doubleheader early after taking a fastball to the back of the helmet.

Gonzalez departs Kansas City for Atlanta
BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Atlanta-bound tight end Tony Gonzalez bid Kansas City farewell Tuesday and promised that if he ever goes into the Hall of Fame, it will be as a Chief.
"The only regrets I have are things I didn't do," said the 10-time Pro Bowler. "I really wish I could have been a part of something more special. I wanted to be a part of bringing a championship to this city.
"I'm going to go on
I'm going to go on record right now saying I'm going to retire as a Chief. If I am ever fortunate enough to go into the Hall of Fame, it's going to be as a Chief."
Gonzalez set up and paid for his own news conference at a downtown hotel to say goodbye to the city where he played for 12 years and became the most productive tight end in NFL history.
"I wanted to come face-to-face with everybody and (say goodbye) the right way," he said. "I grew up in Kansas City. I got here when I just turned 21. (Leaving) is going to be sad. It's going to be real sad. I've been able to play for some of the best fans in the NFL."
With more catches, more yards receiving and more touchdown catches than any other NFL tight end, Gonzalez is arguably the greatest offensive player the Chiefs have drafted and developed in their 50-year history. Although Kansas City never won a playoff game during his career, he ranks
alongside NFL Hall of Famer Len Dawson and baseball Hall of Famer George Brett as the most popular athletes to ever call Kansas City home.
"I didn't ask for a trade, and they didn't come to me and say, 'Do you want a trade?'
"Even though we didn't win a playoff game, I would not trade it. I would absolutely not trade it," he said.
TONY GONZALEZ Falcons tight end
"I'm anxious, a little scared," he said. "It's a little weird thinking I'm going to be an Atlanta Falcon — just saying that. But change is good. It gives me a chance to go out there and prove myself. I looking forward to it."
He said just coming to the hotel for the news conference reminded him how much Kansas City means to him.
"People are stopping me and saying, 'Congratulations. We're going to miss you. We wanted you to stay, but we understand.'"
The Falcons gave the rebuilding Chiefs their 2010 second-round draft pick for Gonzalez. Knowing he was probably nearing the end of his career, Gonzalez asked to
be traded to a contender during the 2008 season while Kansas City was sinking to a 2-14 record.
"I think it's a positive situation," Gonzalez said. "The Chiefs get a high pick, and I get an opportunity to play with a team that's solidified itself as a contender at this point. I think it works out
for both sides
Gonzalez said he had two very positive meetings with Scott Pioli and Todd Haley, the Chiefs' new general manager and coach, respectively.
"I told them, 'Look, if I'm on this team, I'm going to give you guys 100 percent. If you do want
to trade me, just let me know. I wouldn't be opposed to it," he said. "I didn't ask for a trade, and they didn't come to me and say, 'Do you want a trade?'

"I do feel new energy," he said. "You have to. This is exciting. It's like being drafted all over again. I'm going out there with some great players, some guys who have had great success. So I've got to make sure we mesh, and that comes with work."
The Falcons got into the playoffs last year behind young quarterback Matt Ryan and will be expected to make another run in what will be

POLO
Horses overdosed on Biodyl
BY BRIAN SKOLOFF
Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
— Florida's top veterinarian on Tuesday blamed the deaths of 21 elite polo horses on an overdose of a common mineral that helps muscles recover from fatigue.
Florida's state veterinarian, Dr. Thomas I. Holt, said toxicology tests on the dead horses showed significantly increased selenium levels.
The horses from the Venezuelan-owned Lechuza Caracas team began collapsing April 19 as they were unloaded from trailers at the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington before a championship match. Some died at the scene, others hours later.
"Signs exhibited by the horses and their rapid deaths were consistent with toxic doses of selenium."
Holt said.
The team was preparing to play in the sport's U.S. Open and was seen as a top contender.
A Florida pharmacy that mixed a brew of vitamins and minerals for the team on order from its Florida veterinarian said Tuesday that the strength of selenium was incorrect. Jennifer Beckett, chief operating officer for Franck's Pharmacy in Ocala, Fla., would not say whether the incorrect amount was specified in the veterinary order or was a pharmacy error.
"We continue to cooperate fully with the authorities as their investigations proceed," she said. "We cannot discuss further details."
Lechuzha had no comment on the toxicology report.
The polo team had hoped to get a compound similar to a namebrand supplement known as Biodyl. The supplement is used around the
world but hasn't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S.
Biodyl is a supplement made in France by Duluth, Ga.-based animal pharmaceutical firm Merial Ltd. It wasn't clear how close Franck's mixture came to the namebrand drug. Lechuza said what they ordered was supposed to contain vitamin B, potassium, magnesium and selenium.
The injections provided by Franck's were given to the horses just hours before their deaths.
Dr. Murl Bailey, a toxicology professor at Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, said selenium is a common mineral needed in small doses by humans and animals for growth and tissue stabilization. It can also help muscles recover from fatigue.

New York Yankees fans watch from the third-base side of the field as Andy Pettitte pitches against the Oakland Athletics. Empty seating sections have prompted the Yankees to cut ticket prices nearly in half for some sections.

In addition, many of the nonpremium seats between the bases, which cost $325 as part of season tickets and $375 individually, also went unfilled.
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, who owns three $850 Legends Suite season tickets, was unhappy prices were cut only for those with front-row seats while others will be given additional tickets.
While most of the cheaper tickets in the second and third decks were sold for the opening six games, entire sections of cushioned blue seats with teak arm rests in the first nine rows in 25 sections went empty, areas that cost $500 and up.
But it was apparent most of the unsold seats were closest to the field.
Steinbrenner said the Yankees had sold 85 percent of their premium seats and 37,000 full-season equivalents, more than 3.4 million tickets in all.

In response, the team cut the price of first-row Legends Suite seats in four sections on the outer half of the dugouts and photo cages from $2,500 to $1,250.

"If they're offering only selective refunds, depend upon it: There are going to be lawsuits," he
"There are a few hundred suite seats in our premium locations that have not been sold on a full season basis," Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement. "As a result, and for many of our fans who have already purchased full season suite seats in such premium locations, the Yankees are announcing today a program that adjusts certain prices and benefits."
According to a count by The Associated Press, 48 seats were affected.
Among the top non-premium seats in the lower deck, the Yankees announced a buy-three-get-one-free program for new $325-a-seat season tickets in the 15 sections between the bases.
7 PM, Crafton-Preyer Theatre, Murphy Hall
Those initiatives could help pack previously unfilled areas that were an eye sore on television broadcasts during the opening homestand at the $1.5 billion ballpark.
The New York Yankees slashed prices on more than 40 percent of their front-row seats by up to 50 percent Tuesday and announced many of those who bought tickets closest to the field for $325-$2,500 would be eligible for additional free seats.
Associated Press
Reception to immediately follow
"It's the public that built Yankee Stadium, and even at these prices, the public has been excluded from the very stadium they built," Brodsky said. "It's a continuing disaster."
The price of first-row season seats in nine sections of the Delta Sky360 Suite one deck up behind home plate was cut from $750 to $550.
Yankees slash prices
In addition, seats in the first row in the final three sections down each foul line were slashed from $1,000 to $650. That affects 68 seats.

In all, the AP count had the Yankees cutting the price of 116 of 258 front-rows seats, which have been on sale for up to $2,625 for individual games. The team said the reductions will apply to this season only.

NEW YORK — Turns out a few more fans might be able to buy those empty front-row seats at Yankee Stadium.
Assemblyman Richard Brodsky of Westchester, a frequent and vocal critic of the Yankees, said the reductions weren't enough.
Those who bought $2,500 first-row season tickets in the 11 sections surrounding the plate that weren't reduced — there are 98 seats in that area — will receive an equal number of free first-row tickets for the rest of the season.

Spain's Samuel Sanchez, left, outprints Italy's Davide Rebellin, right, to win the men's road cycling race at the Beijing 2008 Olympics. An Italian news agency said Tuesday that Olympic cycling silver medalist Davide Rebellin was one of six athletes who tested positive for doping in the retesting of samples from the Beijing Games.
Six Olympians test positive
BY STEPHEN WILSON
Associated Press
LONDON — The IOC's pursuit of drug cheats paid off Tuesday as six Olympic athletes — including two medalists — were nabbed for blood doping in retests of their Beijing samples.
A person familiar with the test results told The Associated Press the tests busted three track and field athletes, two cyclists and one weightlifter. The IOC did not name the competitors or sports involved, saying it was notifying the athletes through their national Olympic committees.
The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the names haven't been released by the IOC, said one medalist was in cycling and the other was a male track and field athlete who won only one gold medal.
The IOC reanalyzed 948 samples from Beijing after new
lab tests for CERA and insulin became available following the Olympics. The testing began in January and focused mainly on endurance events in cycling, rowing, swimming and athletics.
"The further analysis of the Beijing samples that we conducted should send a clear message that cheats can never assume that they have avoided detection," said Arne Ljungqvist, chairman of the IOC medical commission.
Coaches, athletes and anti-doping organizations welcomed the results, saying it helped restore credibility to Olympic sports.
"I'm in favor of anything they're doing to clean up the sport," said Glen Mills, coach of Jamaican spinner Usain Bolt, who won three gold medals, in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100 relay.
face being disqualified from the Olympics and stripped of all medals.
The IOC will wait for word from the national Olympic bodies before holding any disciplinary hearings. Athletes found guilty
The IOC has already stripped four athletes of Beijing medals — Ukrainsian heptathlete Lyudmila Blonska (silver), Belarusian hammer throwers Vadim Devatovskyi (silver) and Ivan Tsikhay (bronze) and North Korean shooter Kim Jong Su (silver and bronze).
The IOC is storing doping samples for eight years so they can be tested retroactively when new detection methods are developed
The World Anti-Doping Agency welcomed the IOC findings. Under the WADA code, athletes can be disciplined up to eight years from the date of a doping violation.
"We suggest that athletes who may be tempted to cheat keep this reality in mind," WADA president John Fahey said. "We believe that retrospective testing serves as a strong deterrent."
Braves rally against the Cardinals
MLB
BY CHARLES ODUM Associated Press
ATLANTA — Matt Diaz drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single off Kyle McClellan in the eighth inning, rallying the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night
Kyle Lohse pitched six scoreless innings and left with a 1-0 lead, but he was denied his fourth straight victory as the Braves took advantage of McClellan's shaky eighth.
McClellan (1-1) walked Omar Infante, Chipper Jones and Jeff Francoeur to set the stage for Diaz's go-ahead hit with two outs.
McClellan threw ball three behind Diaz's back before giving up the two-run single up the middle on the 3-2 pitch.
Peter Moylan (1-1) pitched a perfect eighth after Jo-Jo Reyes allowed only three hits, one walk
and one run in seven innings.
Mike Gonzalez struck out the side in the ninth for his third save in four chances. Gonzalez struck out Albert Pujols on three straight called strikes for the second out. Gonzalez threw Pujols three straight balls to begin the at-bat.
Reyes retired 13 consecutive batters after giving up a single to Lohse with two outs in the second. Reyes, who lost his last seven decisions in 2008 and his first decision this season, avoided becoming the first Braves pitcher to have nine straight losses since Marty Clary in 1990.
Lohse gave up four hits with four walks in six innings and lowered his ERA to 1.97.
Yadier Molina had two hits, including a run-scoring single in the first, to extend his hitting streak to 12 games.
Reyes' first five outs were strikeouts, but he gave up a run in the first on the way to striking out the side.
With one out, Reyes hit Colby Rasmus with a pitch and walked Pujols. After striking out Ryan Ludwick, Reyes gave up Molina's run-scoring single past a diving Jones at third base. Molina's grounder bounced off Jones' glove and into shallow left field.
The Braves wasted a scoring chance in the third inning when Yunel Escobar hit a one-out single and moved to second on Jones' walk. Escobar ran past third base on Kotchman's groundout and was thrown out trying to return to the base for an inning-ending double play.
Rick Ankiel made a diving catch of pinch-hitter Greg Norton's drive in left-center field to end the seventh inning.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Scott Richmond pitched seven sharp innings, Vernon Wells drove in three runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 8-1 Tuesday night.
Aaron Hill had three more hits to increase his major-leading total to 36 and raise his average to .371. Hill, who had two RBIs, has a hit in all but one game this season.
Richmond (3-0), a rookie right-hander, limited the Royals to one run and five hits over seven innings. The 29-year-old, who pitched three seasons with Edmonton in the independent leagues before signing with the
Blue Jays in November 2007 walked three and struck out five, lowering his ERA to 2.70.
Royals starter Gil Meche left after three 2-3 innings with lower back stiffness and will be evaluated Wednesday. Meche (1-2) gave up five runs on seven hits and five walks. He threw only 43 strikes in 85 pitches.
Toronto added three more runs on five hits in the eighth off relievers Horacio Ramirez and
The Blue Jays batted around in a four-run fourth, which included Wells' two-run single. Lyle Overbay and Rod Barajas hit back-to-back doubles for the first run of the inning. Hill's single scored Barajas with the second run of the inning.
Kyle Farnsworth. Marco Scutaro, Wells and Hill each had RBI singles.
The Blue Jays, who lead the majors with 133 runs, had 14 hits, the most allowed by the Royals this season.
The Royals loaded the bases in the third, but Jose Guillen popped foul to catcher Rod Barajas to end the inning. The Royals were hitless in seven at-bats with two outs and the bases loaded.
David DeJesus' two-out double in the fifth scored Coco Crisp, who had an infield single, for the Kansas City's run.
Alberto Gallaspo went 0-for-3 with a walk, snapping his hitting streak at 10 games, the longest by a Royals player this season.

Pierce leads Celtics to OT victory
BY JIMMY GOLEN
Associated Press
Paul Pierce, former Jayhawk and current Boston Celtic, goes to the basket past Chicago Bulls Lindsey Hunter during the first half of Game 5 Tuesday. Boston leads the seven game series 3-2.
CELTICS 34 BULLS
BOSTON — Paul Pierce made three straight jumps in the final 77 seconds of overtime and the Boston Celtics held on to beat the Chicago Bulls 106-104 on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven playoff series.
Rajon Rondo scored 28 points with 11 assists and eight rebounds, and Kendrick Perkins had 16 points, 19 rebounds and seven blocks for the Celtics. It was the third time in five games the teams have needed overtime, a surprising first-round struggle for the defending NBA champions.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ben Gordon scored 26 and Joakim Noah had 11 points and 17 rebounds for Chicago, but Brad Miller missed the potential gametying free throws with 2 seconds left in overtime.
The Bulls return home for Game 6 on Thursday night hoping to extend the series. Game 7, if necessary, would be in Boston on Saturday.
Pierce, who scored 19 of his 26 points in the second half and overtime, gave Boston a 102-101 lead with 117 left, then hit another with 37 seconds to play to make it 104-101 before Tony Allen fouled Gordon while attempting a 3-pointer with 28 seconds to play. Gordon hit all three free throws to tie it 104-all.
The clock expired and the Boston Garden crowd celebrated, but the referees immediately huddled, called a foul on Rondo and put Miller on the line with 2 seconds left.
Pierce got the ball and dribbled down the clock before hitting a long 2-pointer over John Salmons with 3.4 seconds left. The Bulls called a timeout and got the ball in to Brad Miller, who had a surprisingly clear path to the basket but sailed a lavup wide.
With the building shaking, Miller missed the first, then tried to miss the second on purpose but failed to hit the rim.
It was another close call for
the Celtics — this time with two of the Big Three on the bench. Kevin Garnett is out for what could be the entire playoff run with strained ligaments in his right knee, and Ray Allen — who hit the game-winning 3-pointer in Game 2 — fouled out with 5:27 left in regulation.
The Bulls scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter to open the first double-digit lead of the game. The Celtics scored nine in a row to make it a one-point game, 83-82, with 4:27 left, but
it was costly because Ray Allen
fouled out 18 seconds after hitting
a key 3-pointer.
Boston tied it 91-all after another block by Perkins sent Rondo off on a fast break, and he found Pierce for the layup with 66 seconds left in regulation. The point guards traded mistakes, then Gordon hit a leaner from the right side to give the Bulls the lead with 16 seconds left.
But Pierce sank a 15-footer to tie it at 93 with 10.5 seconds left and send it into overtime.

Students gather around an unhinged door in McColum Hall Saturday night to play beer pong. In residence halls, students often find ways to sneak alcohol into their rooms and bypass University policies about alcohol consumption on campus. Resident assistants also find it difficult to enforce the rules about drinking because they say students don't take the threat of punishment seriously.
University struggles to address complexities of alcohol policy after student's death
BY BRIANNE PFANNENSTIEL
AND LAUREN HENDRICK
bpfannenstiel@kansan.com
and lhendrick@kansan.com
It's Wednesday night in Oliver Hall and the deskies know that means it's Dollar Night at The Hawk
They know it means that at about 2 a.m., students will begin stumbling back to their rooms in a drunken haze, some with bottles of alcohol hidden in their clothes or bags. They know it means bathrooms splattered with vomit and dorm room doors taken off their hinges to be used as makeshift beer pong
tables. They know it means
another night of alcohol-fueled arguments, parties and blackouts.
"I remember that happening at least once a month, at least," she said. "I think it not only says something about the system
They know it all and yet, under the University's current system, they say there is little they can do to prevent it.
"I saw a lot of alcohol use and it was frustrating because there's not always a lot you can really do about it," said Rachel Ward, a former resident assistant at Oliver Hall.
"Maybe if they were aware,someone would have called for help that evening instead of the next afternoon,when it was too late."
Ward, a 2008 graduate from Ventura, Calif., said she remembered frequently having to call paramedics to deal with students who showed signs of alcohol poisoning.
but it says something about the student body"
JAY WREN Jason Wren's father
Ward's frustration is echoed by others, including Jay Wren, father of 19-year-old Jason Wren, who died of probable alcohol poisoning last month at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house after a night of heavy drinking. They say the University needs better alcohol education, clear and enforceable drinking policies and more highly publicized treatment programs for students who need or want help.
Wren's death has pressed KU officials to consider revising the school's policies on releasing students' records to parents, but there has been no public discussion by administrators about making changes to global policy.
enforcement or treatment options.
ALCOHOL EDUCATION
If Wren had been a student at a school such as Texas Tech University, the University of Colorado or the University of Missouri, he would have participated in an alcohol education program as an incoming freshman.
AlcoholEdu and other freshmen alcohol education programs have been adopted at five of the Big 12 universities. The programs are designed to promote safe drinking behavior and to increase knowledge about college alcohol consumption.
AlcoholEdu is split into two sections. Before attending the university, students complete the first section, which teaches them about the ways alcohol influences their behaviors and bodies and informs them about how to recognize and respond to alcohol-related emergencies.
Jan Childress, associate vice president of student affairs at Texas Tech, said the AlcoholEdu program was the most basic way to ensure all students came to the university with a fundamental understanding of alcohol-related issues and safety concerns.
Jay Wren said his son might still be alive had Jason's friends been better educated about the signs of alcohol poisoning. He said students needed more effective education to recognize dangerous situations.
"Maybe if they were aware, someone would have called for help that evening instead of the next afternoon when it was too late." Wren said in a comment on The University Daily Kansan Web site April 9.
During a panel discussion about alcohol at the University on April 9, panelist Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said the University was considering conducting a pilot study of a program similar to AlcoholEdu in wake of Jason Wren's death.

The rain had stopped and the lace hour of sunlight lit Wescoe Beach when about 30 members of KU Students for Life gathered in prayer before marching to Lawrence's Planned Parenthood at 27th and Iowa streets Wednesday night.
At the end of the march the members held a prayer vigil. They were met at Planned Parenthood by members of the Commission on the Status of Women, who passed out literature to educate participants on the opposing viewpoint of a woman's right to choose.
Emma Rothbust, a member of KU Students for Life, said she felt that having opposition present at their events was helpful to their cause and the issue.

1. Kurdish roadside bomb kills nine Turkish soldiers
ISTANBUL — A roadside bomb killed nine Turkish soldiers in an armored personnel carrier Wednesday in southeastern Turkey, making it the deadliest attack by suspected Kurdish rebels in six months, officials said.
Tens of thousands have died in Turkey's Kurdish conflict. In recent years, the government has taken fitful steps to provide more economic help and cultural rights to Kurds, including lifting a ban on the Kurdish language in 1991.
Officials suggested both attacks were done by rebels of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, which has been fighting since 1984 for more autonomy for Turkey's Kurds, who makes up a fifth of the country's population of 70 million and live predominantly in the impoverished southeast.
2. Pope Benedict apologizes for forced school in Canada
XVI apologized Wednesday to native Canadians who were physically and sexually abused at church-run boarding schools they were forced to attend, saying he was sorry for their anguish and was praying they would heal.
KINSHASA, Congo — A Boeing 737 crashed southeast of Congo's capital on Wednesday, but there was no immediate word on casualties or whether the plane carried passengers or cargo, a provincial governor said.
From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 Indian children in Canada were forced to attend state-funded Christian schools as an effort to assimilate them into Canadian society. The Canadian government has admitted that physical and sexual abuse was rampant in the schools, with students beaten for speaking their native languages.
Rescue workers headed to the site and saw from afar a large plane "still burning;" the governor said.

CRESTWOOD, III. — Federal agents have raided city offices in the Chicago suburb of Crestwood, III., which has been accused of knowingly drawing drinking water from a contaminated well for more than two decades.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says 15 agents from the EPA and other agencies entered the Crestwood village hall and public works department Wednesday.
5. Another man sentenced in military murder plot
CAMDEN, N.J. — The fifth man convicted of plotting to kill military personnel at Fort Dix in New Jersey has been sentenced to 33 years in prison.
The Chicago Tribune recently reported that Crestwood officials covered up the presence of chemicals in the water. It said state officials in the 1980s found the well contained chemicals linked to cancer.
Twenty-five-year-old Philadelphia convenience store clerk Serdar Tatar had less involvement in the plot than the four other convicted men. Those four received life sentences in hearings over the last two days.

AIESEC to hold fiesta in Kansas Union tonight
in the form of school supplies, art supplies and children's books. All of the donations will go to the Centro Hispano Resource Center, a non-profit organization in Lawrence that teaches English as a second language and Spanish classes for children.
Rudolph Ardon, San Jose, Costa Rica, graduate student, said that from a cultural perspective, Latin America was a very rich region. He said that from an economic standpoint, Latin American countries were closely tied to the U.S. Ardon said students in any field of study should be familiar with Latin American cultures.
"Considering the level of globalization, it would be very useful for anyone to know about the region and its cultures," Ardon said. "And considering the scope of the event, it would be a good starting point."
The Association of International Students in Science, Economics and Commerce (AIESEC) will host a "Latin American Fiesta" tonight to bring more Latin American awareness to the University.
Parsons, Shawnee senior, said AIESEC held events about different regions of the world, focusing on a different region each month. She said there had not been a Latin American event since last year. Parsons said the fiesta would be an opportunity for students to expand their horizons and meet a diverse group of people.
Ardon said the University had very big Latin American community and most of the Latin American students would be at the event.
Marley Parsons, vice president of AIESEC events, said the event would include dancing to regional music, appetizers donated from local restaurants and tables for different Latin American nations where students could learn about
specific regions and cultures of Latin America. The fiesta starts at 8 p.m. in the Ballroom at the Kansas Union.
"It's a way for students to learn something new and have a little fun doing it." Parsons said.
AIESEC will accept donations
"It's a great networking opportunity to meet people," Ardon said. "I plan to have a lot of fun."

ENVIRONMENT
Obama seeking reduction of greenhouse gases
BY JOHN HEILPRIN
The Montreal Protocol is widely viewed as one of the most successful environmental treaties because it essentially eliminated the use of chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, blamed for damaging the ozone layer over Antarctica.
Associated Press
The expert said the 21-year-old ozone treaty known as the Montreal Protocol created virtually the entire market for HFCs, so including them in the treaty would take care of a problem of its own making.
UNITED NATIONS - The Obama administration, in a major environmental policy shift, is leaning toward asking 195 nations that ratified the U.N. ozone treaty to enact mandatory reductions in hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs according to U.S. information obtained by The Associated Press.
The change — the first U.S. proposed mandatory global cut in greenhouse gases — would transform the ozone treaty into a strong tool for fighting global warming.
CFCs as coolants in everything from refrigerators, air conditioners and fire extinguishers to aerosol sprays, medical devices and semiconductors.
"Now it's going to be a climate treaty, with no ozone-depleting materials, if this goes forward," an EPA technical expert said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because a final decision is pending.
"We're considering this as an option," Environmental Protection Agency spokeswoman Adora Andy said Wednesday, emphasizing that
while a final decision has not been made it was accurate to describe this as the administration's "preferred option."
Because they do not affect the ozone layer, HFCs broadly replaced
Scientists say eliminating use of HFCs would spare the world an amount of greenhouse gases up to about a third of all CO2 emissions about two to four decades from now. Manufacturers in both Europe and the U.S. have begun to replace HFCs with so-called natural refrigerants such as hydrocarbons, ammonia or carbon dioxide.

University says swine flu threat is no reason to worry
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
lhendrick@kansan.com
lhendrick@kansan.com
Despite two cases of swine flu being reported in Kansas this week, University officials said KU students shouldn't worry about their health.
The flu cases were located 115 miles outside of Lawrence in Dickinson County.
Ninty-one cases of swine flu have been reported nationally since the United States Government declared a public health emergency Sunday.
On Wednesday, the United Nations health agency raised the international pandemic alert to Phase 5, meaning the virus had sustained human-to-human
transmission and a pandemic was imminent.
The Centers for Disease control also reported the death of a 22-month-old Mexican boy in Texas Wednesday.
The boy was brought to Houston for treatment, according to the Houston Department of Health and Human Services.
WHAT IS SWINE FLU?
According to the CDC, swine flu is a respiratory disease in pigs caused by the type A influenza virus.
Swine flu usually spreads by direct exposure to pigs or contact with another person who has the virus.
The illness cannot be contracted by eating pork products. Though
swine flu is contagious, the CDC does not know how easily the virus spreads among people.
Symptoms of swine flu closely resemble those of the common flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headaches and fatigue.
WHERE HAS SWINE FLU BEEN IDENTIFIED?
Ninty-one cases of swine flu have been reported in Arizona, California, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Ohio and Texas.
"It's clear that the virus is spreading, and we don't see it slowing down
The World Health Organization confirmed Wednesday that at least 114 cases of swine flu had been reported worldwide.
at this point," Keiji Fukuda, assistant director-general of WHO, said at a news conference Wednesday.
SHOULD KU STUDENTS BE CONCERNED?
Sue Lorenz, interim director of the Office of Study Abroad, said students traveling to Mexico during the summer did not need to reconsider their travel arrangements.
Sixteen students are scheduled to study abroad in Mexico beginning May 15.
"We don't want our students to worry that we'll put them in a bad situation," Lorenz said.
She said anytime there was a possible health threat, the Office of Study Abroad kept students updated on a regular basis.
Emma Payne, Leavenworth junior, plans to study in Puebla Mexico, for six weeks beginning May 15.
She said she had been keeping in touch with the Office of Study Abroad and visiting the CDC Web site regularly.
"It's nerve-wracking." Payne said.
Though swine flu was a concern, Payne said she was still excited.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, issued a statement to students Monday outlining the precautions to take should there be a pandemic in the U.S.
If an emergency arises, students should stay informed by visiting the University's pandemic response site at www.pandemic.ku.edu.
WHAT PREVENTATIVE MEASURES SHOULD BE TAKEN?
TAKEN?
Patricia Denning, senior staff physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said it was important for students to be cautious of flu-like symptoms, including those exhibited by people around them.
"Hopefully, people who are sick will stay home and not spread viruses," she said.
Denning said college campuses were prone to spreading the flu viruses because of large class sizes.
More information about swine flu outbreaks can be found by visiting the CDC Web site, www.cdc.gov.

Five dead so far because of heavy rains in Kansas
WICHITA, Kan. — The death toll from days of heavy rain in Kansas rose to five Wednesday when authorities found the bodies of two people in a car submerged in a flooded creek.
A 26-year-old Parsons man and a 22-year-old Springfield, Mo., woman were found by Labette County sheriff's deputies in Pumpkin Creek in southeast Kansas, the state Division of Emergency Management said.

Keg prompts questions about KU alcohol policy
Alcohol on campus allowed for special circumstances
BY ADAM SAMSON asamson@kansan.com
alcohol regulations
The term "alcoholic liquor" shall include cereal malt beverages
Sale of alcoholic liquor in the Scholarship Suites is prohibited
Athletics and guests in Scholarship Suites shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the University policy and all laws governing consumption of alcoholic liquors
- Consumption during half-time of football games will end 15 minutes following the second half kick-off, no further consumption will be permitted
- Food and non-alcoholic beverages must also be made available during times in which alcoholic liquor is available for consumption
Policy does not permit University organizations to serve alcohol as a part of a tailgate
- Containers of a capacity in excess of one gallon will not be permitted
The University is generally regarded as having an alcohol-free campus. Although the sale of alcohol on campus is strictly prohibited, the consumption of alcohol is allowed on certain occasions, such as tailgating before a football game. When students spotted a 23rd Street Brewery keg heading up to the Scholarship Suites at Memorial Stadium during the Kansas Relays, this appeared to be a violation of the dry-campus policy.
The legal drinking age of 21 years will be enforced
- Consumption of alcohol will not be permitted on city streets, including Mississippi, Maine and 11th Streets
According to the University Event Alcohol Policy, athletic events are some of the few occasions during which state statutes and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission permit the serving of "alcoholic liquor" on campus. Memorial Stadium and Hoglund Ballpark are the two designated athletic facilities where serving alcohol on campus is permissible. The alcohol for events must also be approved by the University.
The Chancellor must approve a written request by Kansas Athletics, Inc., to allow the consumption of alcoholic liquor in the suites at other athletic events.
- On a limited basis, alcoholic beverages may be consumed during tailgating activities the three hours prior to kick-off
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said that any use of alcohol at an athletic event had to be related to fundraising.
"That's why alcohol is permissible in donor areas, and that's why we can have tailgating during football games," Marchiony said.
The contributions from Athletics donors are one form of fundraising that allows for the consumption of alcohol at Memorial Stadium and Hoglund Ballpark in the Scholarship Suites. Tailgating is allowed because participants donate $1 per sale of each football program.
Marchiony said that, each year, Athletics usually made a contribution to four campus organizations with the football program sales. This year, the Athletics donations had an environmental focus. It donated 25 cents from each program sold to the Center for Sustainability, Studio 804, Biodiesel Initiative and Emerging Green Builders.
Marchiony said Athletics supervised the storage and stocking of alcohol on a weekly basis during football season. For baseball games, the supervision depended on the team's schedule.
"We make sure the stipulations in the policy are met," Marchiony said.
Suite holders may consume alcohol during a period beginning two hours before a game and lasting two hours after the conclusion.
Marchiony also said the fans' behavior was good in the suites and that Athletics constantly discussed tailgating with the Provost Office and the KU Public Safety Office.
"We haven't had any major issues," Marchionny said.

Obama meets in town hall to mark 100th day in office
BY JULIE PACE Associated Press
ARNOLD, Mo. — Marking his symbolic 100th day in office,
President Barack Obama told Midwesterners Wednesday. "I'm pleased with the progress we've made but I'm not satisfied."
"I'm confident in the future but I'm not content with the present," the president told a town-hall style event in a St. Louis suburb.
Later, the president planned

He defended his ambitious, costly plan, saying: "These challenges could not be met with half measures. They couldn't be met with the same old formulas. They couldn't be confronted in isolation. 'They demanded action that was bold and sustained.'"
with a high job approval rating and a certain amount of political capital from his history-making election last fall. But he also faces a thicket of challenges as he seeks to move ahead on multiple fronts both foreign and domestic amid recession and war. He will need continued public support to accomplish his lofty goals.
"We have begun to pick ourselves up and dust oursels off... we've begun the work of remaking America."
And, Obama countered critics who said he's taking on too much.
"We have begun to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off, and we've begun the work of remaking America," Obama proclaimed. But

as he works to turn around the recession while revamping energy, education and health care in the United States.
"The changes that we've made are the changes we promised." Obama said. "We're doing
what we said we'd do."
Earlier, Obama began his day at the White House, where he welcomed Sen. Arlen Specter, the veteran Pennsylvania Republican, to the Democratic Party. The president said he was "grateful" for Specter's decision to switch parties. Vice President Joe Biden, who had long encouraged his former Senate colleague to become a Democrat, also attended.
The president then darted to Missouri to hold what aides billed
as a question-and-answer event, though Obama spent roughly 20 minutes making opening remarks in which he touted changes his fledgling administration already has made and other issues it wants to tackle in the coming months.
The president promised to fight for everyday Americans, saying: "My campaign was possible because the American people wanted change. I ran for president because I wanted to carry those voices, your voices, with me to Washington. So I just want everybody to understand you're who I'm working for every single day in the White House. I've heard your stories. I know you sent me to Washington because you believed in the promise of a better day. And I don't want to let you down."
Obama reached his 100th day with strong public backing. An Associated Press-GfK poll found that 64 percent of Americans approved of his job performance and 48 percent believed the country is headed in the right direction. The "right direction" number is up 8 points since February and 31 points since October, the month before Obama's election.
But problems may lurk behind that public optimism. Ninety percent of Americans consider the economy an important issue — the most ever in an AP poll — and 65 percent said it's difficult for them and their families to get ahead.

Montana legislature passes new gun law
BY KAHRIN DEINES
Associated Press
HELENA, Mont. — Montana is trying to trigger a battle over gun control — and perhaps make a larger point about what many folks in this ruggedly independent state regard as a meddlesome federal government.
In a bill passed by the Legislature earlier this month, the state is asserting that guns manufactured in Montana and sold in Montana to people who intend to keep their weapons in Montana are exempt from federal gun registration, background check and dealer-licensing rules because no state lines are crossed.
That notion is all but certain to be tested in court.
The immediate effect of the law could be limited, because Montana is home to just a few specialty gun
makers, known for high-end hunting rifles and replicas of Old West weapons, and because their out-of-state sales would automatically trigger federal control.
Still, much bigger prey lies in Montana's sights: a legal showdown over how far the federal government's regulatory authority extends.
"It's a gun bill, but it's another way of demonstrating the sovereignty of the state of Montana," said Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who signed the bill.
Carrie DiPiro, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, had no comment on the legislation. But the federal government has generally argued that it has authority under the interstate commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution to regulate guns because they can so easily be transported across state
Guns and states' rights both play well in Montana, the birthplace of the right-wing Freemen militia and a participant in the Sagebrush Rebellion of the 1970s and '80s, during which Western states clashed with Washington over grazing and mineral extraction on federal land.
Under the new law, guns intended only for Montana would be stamped "Made in Montana." The drafters of the law hope to set off a legal battle with a simple Montanamade youth-model single-shot, bolt-action .22 rifle. They plan to find a "squeaky clean" Montanan who wants to send a note to the ATF threatening to build and sell about 20 such rifles without federal dealership licensing.

If the ATF tells them it's illegal, they will sue and take the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if they can.

Sophomore class has the most spirit

The sophomore class proved to be the most spirited Wednesday at the first class competition hosted by the Board of Class Officers in front of Wescoe Hall.
The class presidents created the event to help promote campus unity.

Unger said that freshmen and seniors knew their identity as being at the bottom or top of class hierarchy, and she wanted to give all classes an identity.
Kelly Unger, Leawood sophomore, and president of the sophomore class, helped run the event and said she was happy with the turnout for the event even though it was only its first year.

"By having a dialogue it not only strengthens us and what we believe, but it helps other people make an informed decision," Rothbrust, Overland Park junior, said.
ABORTION (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The walk is just one of the events that is part of "KU Stand Up for LIFE Week," hosted by KU Students for Life. The group has been tabling on Wescoe Beach all week and will be there today and Friday. Tonight, the group is hosting a discussion called "The Morality of Abortion."
"The whole point is to raise awareness about a really big issue." Rothbrust said. "Fundamentally it's about dialogue."
In response to the group's events, the Commission on the Status of Women tabled on Wescoe Beach to offer an opposing viewpoint.
Elise Higgins, Topeka junior, said the purpose for CSW's response was to inform students about the safety and legality of pregnancy terminations, as well as the range of services Planned Parenthood provided. The Lawrence chapter of Planned Parenthood doesn't provide abortion services, but mostly exists to help with family planning and sexual health, said Holly Weatherford, spokesperson for Kansas' Planned Parenthood organizations.
Jennifer Meitl, Outreach Coordinator for the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center said the students would take shifts praying all night outside of Planned

Sarah Bergkamp, Garden Plain freshman, said she was in charge of coordinating the anti-abortion group and to make sure prayers took place every hour from 7 p.m to 7 a.m.
Bergkamp said the vigil was a peaceful protest that was not meant to get attention or create confrontation. She said everyone was welcome to join the vigil.
"America is supposed to be about freedom for everyone, but we're taking away that right from the unborn," Bergkamp said.
"KU Stand Up for LIFE Week" focused on the organization's antibortion position, and began when KU Students for Life members drew 3,600 chalk hearts on Wescoe Beach to represent the number of abortions that occur each day in the U.S.
"We're not here to shove our views in others' faces," Bergkamp said. "We just want it to end peacefully."

Members of KU Students for Life march to the Planned Parenthood building at 27th and Iowa streets as part of the "Stand up for LIFE Week." Tonight the group will host a debate.
Students for Life, said the goal of "Stand Up for LIFE Week" was to help spread a message for those who could not speak for themselves. Northcott, Olathe junior, said that these issues weren't brought up on campus as much as they should be.
"Abortion hurts women and children and we want to show people that there are other options," Northcott said.
Though Higgins said she definitely supported alternatives to abortion, she said making abortion illegal wouldn't take away the risk to women undergoing the procedure. In 2007, Congress reported that prior to the Roe v. Wade decision, an estimated 1,200,000 women each year resorted to illegal abortions. Weatherford said that number
was the best evidence that women would continue the practice despite legality.
"The Morality of Abortion," which begins at 7 p.m. in the Big 12 room in the Kansas Union, will discuss the moral precepts that guide the anti-abortion position. Rothbrust will be a moderator for the discussion. She said that students who were not anti-abortion could come to the discussion to understand the other side's perspective. She said that this issue was morally based and that her participation was like being part of a civil rights movement.

DOLE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Doles for more than 20 years. After serving as White House political director to Ronald Reagan, Lacy became the deputy director of Bob Dole's Political Action Committee in 1986.
He said most of the questions that would be asked were personal questions regarding the senator's lives and careers. Some questions will also be drawn from the couple's book, "Unlimited Partners."
Lacy said getting the couple to speak together was actually easier than getting them individually, even though they had done very few joint interviews in their careers.
The Doles said they were looking forward to coming back to the Dole Institute and were excited about the lecture.
"We haven't done it before so we decided to give it a shot," Bob Dole said. "There will be a lot of young people there and they'll have a lot of good questions."
Bob Dole last visited the University on April 8 for the Pickens Plan presentation given by oil executive T. Boone Pickens. The last time he was on campus for a lecture was in 2005.
Elizabeth Dole said that whenever she was on a college campus, she encouraged young people to think about public service as a noble profession.
She said that throughout the years, she and Bob had found public service as an area where they could make a positive difference.
"My mother lived to be 103," Elizabeth Dole said. "When you're up in years and you're looking back over your life, I think the question is, 'What did I stand for?'
The Dole Institute opened in July 2003 after a suggestion from Chancellor Hemenay. After Bob
Dole lost his presidential campaign in 1996, he agreed to have the University build the Dole Institute.
Lacy said the mission of the Dole Institute was to get students and adults more involved in politics and public service in a bipartisan and philosophically balanced way.
The Dole Lecture is held each spring by the Dole Institute and features a prominent figure addressing an aspect of current politics or policy. The idea for the Dole Lecture was to have former presidents, ambassadors and international personalities visit the KU campus.
"I just think it's great that Kansas has a chance to have these history makers here," Earle said.
Earle said that this year was the perfect time to honor Bob and Elizabeth Dole together.
He said deciding who would speak at the annual Dole lecture was a matter of selecting someone with a real world and global perspective. Past speakers include Bill Clinton, Tom Brokaw and Richard Mevers.
"For our lecture series, what we are trying to do is to be timely and give the community access to the wider world of politics," Earle said.
Bob Dole said he was pleased with the Dole Institute and the programs it has put on.
"I'm proud of KU and the people that go there," Dole said. "It's been successful, so coming back makes it even more interesting and exciting because it has succeeded."

The university holds the right to determine the times, places and conditions when alcohol may be consumed on university grounds.
Student housing: "To the
extent possible and reasonable, the institution will respect a student's privacy within his/her university housing room. Possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages is permitted in university housing according to the policies established by the Department of Residence and only for those persons having attained drinking age as stipulated in the laws of the State of Iowa"

Wet/Dry: Alcohol is available in the student union and is allowed in residence halls for students of legal drinking age. It is also allowed in certain controlled situations such as football games, fundraisers and special events if organizers obtain a permit.
First-Time Offender: Conducted over two sessions with the program coordinator.
Policies:
Online assessment Results are discussed with the program coordinator who helps develop a program for change for the student.
- The student meets with coordinator four to six weeks later to discuss progress
- The coordinator will assess if the offender has com
pleated the e-Chug assessment, designed a program of change, made a reasonable attempt and demonstrated success at a program of change.
Two online assessments and meetings with the co-ordinator.
Multiple Offender:
A similar program of change will be developed.
After a four to six week period, the program coordinator who will assess progress and make necessary changes to the program.
The student will continue with the program for another four weeks and meet again with the program coordinator for a final assessment and review.
The University is technically a dry campus, but the chancellor can grant permission for alcohol use at special events.
Students caught violating the no-alcohol policy in residence halls are punished through a sanctions system. For each alcohol violation, a corresponding punishment is applied.
- For the first violation, students are required to take a three-and-a-half hour online alcohol education course called "Under the Influence." The course costs $40 and consists of seven lessons to help students understand the consequences of alcohol misuse and provides information and tools to help change unhealthy behaviors.
- The second violation requires a $60 one-on-one meeting with a counselor at Watkins Memorial Health Center. The course, called "Choices," uses a journal to guide students through questions regarding their personal drinking habits, opinions and attitudes. These questions are then further discussed with a health educator.
Jenny McKee, health educator at Watkins and counselor for the Choices program, said she couldn't require students to seek psychological care, but she could notify them of available resources.
"My job is to provide them with information," McKee said. "Some students come in and it's like talking to a brick wall for 90 minutes."
- A third violation requires an appearance before the Student Housing Judicial Board that is composed of housing complex directors and resident assistants. Cody Charles, complex director for Lewis and Templin hills, said the judicial system worked hard to get students to change their behavior by discussing its underlying causes. He said finances, issues at home and school-related stress were often associated with drinking.
"I think it's about creating rapport with the student," Charles said. "You have to dig deeper and figure out what's going on. We do have students who drink every day and are probably alcoholics."
Some RAs who are supposed to enforce the policies say the system is too lenient and does not do enough to effectively address alcohol abuse on the KU campus.
RESIDENCE HALLS
Wren was expelled from Oliver Hall after repeated violations but other less severe actions to punish students include moving them to another floor or another hall.
"It was like from the early-'90s or late '80's." Baraban said of the video he had to watch. "It was definitely out of date. There was a workbook you had to fill out and it was like a joke, too. There was like a smiley face that said 'sober' and there was a sad face that said 'depressed and drunk.'"
Baraban was cited for violating housing policy 15 times. He said three of those write-ups were for violating alcohol policy, while
Blake Baraban, Topea junior, was required to complete all three steps in the sanctions process during his freshman year in Oliver Hall.
If an RA suspects alcohol use but is refused access to a student's room to verify the violation, the most the RA can do is write the student up for being "uncooperative with staff" along with a "suspicion of alcohol."

several others would have been alcohol infringements if he hadn't found a loophole in the system. To avoid getting written up for having alcohol in the residence halls, he and his friends would not open their bedroom doors when an RA came to check on them.
Members of the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity "shotgun" beers during the preamble hours before it is a common practice at parties. Most fraternities at the University are allowed to follow their own polity.
"I guess I learned the system," Baraban said. "A lot of people do that, though. A lot of people know not to let RAs look in your drink or don't let them in your dorm - things like that."
Diana Robertson, director of the Department of Student Housing, said that the sanction system at the University worked for most students, but that there was no data to show whether they changed students' drinking behaviors.
"You're not going to have 10 alcohol violations and still be living with us." Robertson said. "We want to make sure we're getting it right and doing the best thing to make people learn."
Ward, former Oliver Hall RA, said she thought the sanctions system used in the residence halls wasn't persuasive enough to support the authority of RAs and didn't change students' attitudes about drinking.
"Sanctions don't do anything except make them angry," Ward said. "It doesn't change their opinion if they don't care. They just get mad at you because you're the one who caught them. A lot of the sanctions are far too easy in my opinion."
At Nebraska, students are required to have a psychological evaluation focusing on substance abuse after three policy violations. Keith Zaborowski, associate director of residence halls at Nebraska, said he rarely saw students receive three violations.
"I think it's kind of putting a Band-Aid on a large wound instead of getting surgery on that wound," Vaglio said. "It's kind of like covering up the problem instead of fixing it."
He said that in the residence halls, community service officers patrolled the hallways at night and called campus police to deal
Ward said most RAs eventually stopped trying to strictly enforce alcohol policy.
But Jay Vaglio, an RA at Lewis Hall, said he thought the sanctions system was relatively effective in controlling the drinking situation, although he said it was not going to prevent underage or abusive drinking in the residence halls.
"You just give up because nothing you do or say is going to change their mind," she said. "It's very common practice to look the other way. The unspoken rule is, 'If I don't see it or hear it, it's not happening.'"
The University has one of the most lenient alcohol policies compared with other universities in the Big 12.

with students violating alcohol policy. In those cases, students were charged with violating city law and often received a ticket for "Minor In Possession" in addition to university sanctions.
Oklahoma implemented a more severe alcohol policy after freshman Blake Hammontree died of alcohol poisoning inside the Sigma Chi fraternity house in 2004. Following his death, the fraternity was expelled from campus, five students were charged with furnishing alcohol at the party where Hammontree died, and school president David Boren instituted a more stringent alcohol policy.
At Oklahoma, students are automatically suspended for a minimum of one semester after accumulating three alcohol violations. The school notifies parents following the first violation.
Oklahoma was honored nationally as a success story in 2006 for its new alcohol policy by the Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center.
"I think the parental notification piece is the one we're dusting off again," Roney said, referring to the University's privacy policies. "Normally after any incident on campus we step back and review our processes and our policies, so
At Kansas, however, Roney, vice provost of student success, said Wren's death did not create any greater sense of urgency to address alcohol policy than before.
it's kind of a normal part of what we do"
The University created the Alcohol Priority Group, which first met in November 2007, to "identify measurable actions by which alcohol consumption could be reduced within the KU and Lawrence communities." The group eventually made 36 final recommendations for change. Almost a year later, Roney said the University had begun work on seven of those, including implementing an alcohol screening program for incoming freshmen and allowing housing staff access to student dorm rooms.
Another result of those recommendations is the Community Alcohol Coalition, a group similar to the Priority Group, which plans to review the University's current practices compared with those at other universities and to recommend models that can be implemented here. Its first meeting was Tuesday.
"There has to be a willingness to change or learn," McKee, Watkins Wellness Center educator, said. "When they're ready for a behavior change hopefully they know where to go."
The University offers a few treatment options to students with alcohol concerns and dependencies, but students must take the time to search out their treatment.

Counseling and Psychological Services, or CAPS, is available to students but does not have a specific alcohol or substance abuse counseling program. CAPS does offer students the opportunity to meet with an alcohol substance abuse counselor from the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, who is on campus two afternoons each week. Students also have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a graduate student intern or a professional for counseling on any topic. Counselors can then provide referrals to other sources of treatment.
"My sense is that students who are persistent, who are willing to ask a few questions, are probably able to find resources," Wade said. "Being able to increase awareness of our services is a constant challenge we have."
Ray Rodriguez, health promotion coordinator at Iowa State, said one of his goals since being hired two years ago was to enhance the health center's Web site. He said programs and marketing strategies were essential to getting information to students about health resources.
John Wade, outreach coordinator and licensed counseling psychologist for CAPS, said that although the center was trying to become more visible as an alcohol resource, he couldn't say whether many students were aware of the service.
"It's got to be easy to find your way around and it's got to have honest information," Rodriguez said.
Wade said many clients he worked with had voluntarily sought treatment.
Rachel, a KU junior, went to CAPS at the University for counseling after making a desperate phone call to her parents one night.
"The night I totally crashed was the first night I actually admitted that I couldn't sleep unless I had a drink or some form of a sleeping pill," she said. "I had been blacking out on weekends and had just been really upset about it. I'd laugh about it with my friends but
I don't think they realized I was really humiliated about the way I was acting"
Rachel, who asked that her last name be withheld, went through counseling in high school while battling depression. She said she loved her therapist at home, but didn't know where to turn when she came to school and realized she needed help with her alcohol problem.
Rachel's mom, Annette, called CAPS for Rachel, but because Rachel is an adult, she had to schedule the appointment herself.
"When you're in that state the last thing you want to do is look for somebody." Rachel said. "You want it to be there right away. You just want to talk to someone."
Rachel said she thought it was initially difficult to get students to seek help. If they did find their way to a resource like CAPS, she said, it was important to make sure students had a good first experience.
After her first appointment with CAPS, however, Rachel said she thought it had been a "waste of time."
She said she wished she had been aware of the option to speak with a female psychologist. Instead she spoke with a male graduate student. She said it was uncomfortable crying in front of a student so close to her own age.
Since leaving her first appointment with CAPS two months ago, Rachel has not returned to Watkins for any further treatment, nor has she received any inquiries about her failure to attend her follow-up appointment. She said she was no longer seeking professional psychological help, and she continues to drink.
"I'm glad that wasn't my first experience seeing a psychologist because I don't think I'd want to go see one again," she said.
"The next step was to see him again, but since I didn't feel comfortable in my first appointment, I knew leaving that office that I wasn't going to show up" she said.
She was most frustrated when she received no advice and no plan for future treatment.

Bronson Hilliard, director of media relations at the University of Colorado, said trying to stop alcohol consumption was a "fruitless struggle." Instead, he said, the university created a policy that focused on reducing harm and educating students about personal and social responsibility.
A COMPLEX ISSUE
"It is not a situation where one intervention works for every student," Roney said. "If that was the case, we wouldn't have any problems at all. In a situation dealing with any type of substance abuse we're always looking for new programs that are looking to be effective. So we are always seeking information from colleagues."
Roney said excessive and underage drinking were complex issues for universities to address. She said it was hard to specifically address the needs of each individual.
Many Big 12 administrators say it is especially difficult to combat college drinking because it has become so entrenched in campus culture.
Matt Hecker, dean of students at Nebraska, said he knew that what happened to Jason Wren could happen to anyone on any college campus and that universities needed to be aware of what they could do to help provide students with resources to prevent unnecessary tragedies.
"We like to think that our programs are working." Hecker said.
"When you don't see problems you like to think things are working. Just like your car. It's not until you wake up and your car won't start that you stop and think. Just doing what we're doing isn't enough."
"It will certainly be a major challenge for the individuals stepping into leadership roles," McGonigle said. "It is a major obstacle for the University and, consequently, they will need to address it. Alcohol abuse is a major issue in our country and on college campuses specifically. This is too big of an issue to simply ignore."
Adam McGonigle, Wichita junior and former student body president, said that if policy were to be changed, it would probably fall to the incoming chancellor and provost to make those decisions.

Former 'Prison Break' actor Garrison released from jail
The former "Prison Break" actor was paroled and picked up at 3:50 a.m. Wednesday from the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, Calif., Lt. Jon Bartelmie said.
LOS ANGELES — Lane Garrison, who was serving a sentence of three years and four months for a drunken driving crash that killed a 17-year-old Beverly Hills High student, has been released from prison.
He participated in a substance abuse program while at the prison and is eligible for a similar
program now that he's been released, Bartelmie said.
Garrison was charged after a December 2006 crash in which he rammed his Land Rover into a tree, killing Vahag Setian and injuring two other teenage girls.
He later pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and misdemeanor counts of drunken driving and giving alcohol to a minor.
Garrison was sentenced in October 2007 to serve three years and four months in prison. He was also ordered to serve four years' parole and to pay about $300,000 in restitution to the victims and their families
Bartelmie said Garrison was
released before serving his full sentence because he received credits for good behavior, which is a common practice.
The actor met the girls at a grocery store and accompanied them to a party. At the time of the crash, he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.20 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving, and was under the influence of cocaine, according to police.
A civil lawsuit filed by Setian's family and Michelle Ohana, one of the girls injured in the crash, was recently dismissed at the request of the parties.

Rihanna gets jewelry back; Brown may face hearing
LOS ANGELES — Rihanna will get back $1.4 million in borrowed jewelry she was wearing the night she was allegedly beaten by Chris Brown.
Prosecutors agreed to have the jewelry photographed for evidence if it is needed at a trial.
The 21-year-old singer's attorney had requested a judge's order for the items' return, but an agreement was reached Wednesday morning.
Donald Etra said after the hearing that it will allow Rihanna to return the items to companies that lent them to her. She wore the jewelry, described as a pair of earrings and three rings, to a pre-Grammy party.
Brown was arrested Feb. 8 and charged nearly a month later with assault likely to produce great bodily injury and making criminal threats. Brown could face a preliminary hearing in June when a judge will decide whether there is enough evidence for the case to go to trial.

KU needs stronger policies on alcohol
Students at the University of Kansas drink more — and more dangerously — than the national average for college students. Wednesday's Kansan story, "Excessive and accepted," reported
PAGE 9A
admitted to drinking and driving within the past 30 days, double the national average of 23 percent.
These numbers indicate a lack of personal accountability among KU students. They also throw into sharp relief the ineffectiveness of the University's alcohol policies in dealing with the scope of students' alcohol consumption.
KANSAN'S OPINION
ing are subjected to punishments that have become more of a joke than a learning experience. They involve online courses, journaling and, after three violations, meeting with a judicial board. Instead
To deal effectively with excessive drinking, the University should offer one centralized resource for students seeking help for alcohol-related issues. Under the current system, information about the University's alcohol policy and treatment options for alcohol dependency is scattered across many different Web sites. One integrated resource for students would help boost the University system's efficiency.
Also, according to the current policy, students who violate drinking rules in student hous-
that employed at the University of Nebraska, where underage students caught drinking on campus are ticketed for a "Minor In Possession" in addition to punishments under university sanctions.
After three violations, students at Nebraska must have a psychological evaluation focusing on substance abuse. This system establishes tighter controls on underage and on-campus drinking and would help prevent students with an alcohol problem from falling through the cracks.
of this weak strategy, the University should implement a policy incorporating city law and University regulations. This system would be similar to
The University of Kansas could also learn from the University of Oklahoma, which implemented a more stringent alcohol policy following the 2004 death of a freshman from alcohol poisoning. The Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center honored Oklahoma nationally in 2006 for its improved alcohol policy.
Now, nearly two months after
TO CONTACT THE ADMINISTRATION ABOUT ALCOHOL POLICIES:
Call: Marlesa A. Roney, vice provost for student success, at: (785) 864-4060
the death of KU freshman Jason Wren from alcohol poisoning, the University has yet to set clear goals to strengthen its own alcohol policy.
The University administration should centralize its resources for alcohol education and implement stricter rules, like those at other Big 12 schools, to improve Kansas' alcohol policy. These are important first steps in overhauling the University's weak system and creating a more supportive policy for students.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said Wren's death has led University officials to reevaluate the school's parental notification policy and a new alcohol education program, AlcoholEdu, for incoming freshmen. But problems with the alcohol policy remain.

MY CHANGE
NICHOLAS SAMBALUK
Being the change means making the most out of college experience
BY NICHOLAS SAMBALUK
As we look back at the first hundred days of Barack Obama's administration, I am reminded of a short conversation in one of my classes. It got me thinking about the links between Ghandi, Obama and class attendance.
At this University, as at most schools around the country, many students who voted in November entered the polling booth intent on helping bring about "change." Despite the delirious delight shown by so many on election night, the electoral result was hardly a surprise.
piracy are likewise part of the administration's efforts to turn a page in foreign relations and retain America's position of strength on the international scene. Time will tell what implications Washington's efforts at change can bring.
And now, in the initial months of Obama's administration, policy is being set. Change and legacy now meet, sometimes clashing, other times intertwining. A series of Cabinet posts filled by Democratic hands from the Clinton years and a collection of new initiatives seek to resuscitate the economy by infusing funds borrowed from the future. A softened approach toward Iran and a firm stand against
"Be the change you want to see in the world," said Mahatma Gandhi in an often-quoted statement. It appears in books. It shows up on bumper stickers. I've seen it on T-shirts. It's a profound idea. And I wonder how often it is really considered when it is quoted.
Change can and should come from individuals as well. The student who cheerfully voted for change in November can help enact it in April.
But change does not have to be driven by government or society alone.
Being that change can include the missionary trips to build houses and the community projects to help the poor that some people go on, revel in, and put proudly on their resumes. As well they should.
But change is more, as well. Being that change is about daily effort, informal acts of decency. When the first George Bush urged Americans to represent "a thousand points of light," this was the notion. And although it was dismissed at the start of the 1990s, that noble idea can be taken up today.
As students, we should be pursuing our studies so we can be that change. The new ideas, the discoveries and the perspectives being examined in our classes are the tools with which to build a new world.
Skipping class does not bring change. If you want a better world, challenge your mind and your preconceptions with the new ideas that are offered on campus, in the classroom and at university events. Engage your mind. Be the change.
These ideas are important, and when we forsake ideas, we forsake our future.

An undercover operation
Last week, I was pleased to learn that fellow Kansan columnists Michael Pope and Ryan Snyder had won a prestigious writing award. I was going to congratulate them when I realized: There's no way I can personally profit from their success by merely congratulating them. So I decided to change my stance from "pleased" to "highly suspicious." If I exposed their award as a hoax, if would be the scandal of the century. I could make millions of dollars and ruin the careers of two promising writers — truly a win-win. I set out to prove that the Faulkner Award for Kick-ass Excellence was fake, and not F.A.K.E. as previously reported.
My first move, as it is with every investigative reporter worth his salt, was Google. A search for "F.A.K.E." came up with no results. Google asked me, "Did you mean D.A.R.E.?" I highly doubted Pope and Snyder were keeping children off drugs, what with their backwards baseball caps and soulless eyes.
"You have two coins totaling 30 cents," the figure said in a deep, throaty voice. "One of them is not a quarter. What are the coins?"
KA-CHING! I finally had my proof. (And I'll save you the suspense: The shadowy figure was Diane Sawyer.）
I decided to get confirmation. I visited every parking garage in the Lawrence area, searching for a mysterious shadowy figure in a trench coat who could tell me something cryptic about the award. I wandered for hours until finally somebody emerged from behind a green Honda Civic.

Mr. Pope and Mr. Snyder should be ashamed for foisting such falsehoods upon the campus. This is simply unacceptable, and I feel it is my right — nay, my duty — to expose them to the world as frauds.
The story itself has many factual errors: Pope and Snyder claim to have an "Olympic-sized Jacuzzi!" Jacuzzi-ing has never been an Olympic sport or even a Goodwill Games sport. And they claimed that Nicolas Cage mutated to 500 feet tall when everybody knows Nicolas Cage is capable only of mutating to 475 feet tall.

ENTERTAINMENT
With the current state of our economy, people are constantly looking for cheap, alternative forms of entertainment. One form that has been grossly overlooked is literature. Literature provides insight, as well entertainment, while at the same time expanding your mind and vocabulary in ways that most activities these days do not.
Search for entertainment should end with a book
Unfortunately, many people these days wouldn't be caught dead reading for entertainment. Students barely read their assignments. I have a friend who has made it a personal goal to never read a book while in college, and surprisingly enough, three years in, he has thus far succeeded.

Books are not only entertainment, but are also time capsules revealing thoughts, attitudes, fears and hopes of the past. Books have sparked revolutions. They've motivated, inspired, caused debates and changed lives. And yet, in spite of all that books are capable of, literature readership in the United States has been rapidly declining in the past decade.

There are so many books out there on such a wide variety of subjects; I guarantee anyone can find something that will spark their interest.
The University could help by endorsing books that better our minds rather than choosing those supported by companies and those that empty our pockets. Book fairs and book sales would be a great way to develop student interest and promote leadership.
I challenge everyone to read a little more this week. By finishing this article, you've already one-upped the person next to you who's only doing the Sudoku. Now go the full mile and read an entire book, even if half of it is pictures. I won't judge.

U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder speaks on cooperation in the fields of counter-terrorism and fighting transnational organized crime at the American Academy in Berlin, Germany, on Wednesday.
BY DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press
BERLIN — The United States and its allies must make sacrifices to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday in a high-profile appeal for Europe's help.
Holder spoke to the American Academy of Berlin, not long after telling reporters that the United States had approved the release of about 30 Guantanamo detainees.
"We must all make sacrifices and we must all be willing to make unpopular choices." Holder said in prepared remarks.
"The United States is ready to do its part, and we hope that Europe will join us — not out of a sense of responsibility, but from a commitment to work with one of its oldest allies to confront one of the world's most pressing challenges," he said.
There are currently 241 inmates at the facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Holder spent the past several days privately asking European leaders in London, Prague, and Berlin for help relocating detainees the United States wants to set free.
Before the speech, Holder met with reporters, saying the United States has made decisions on a group of about 30 detainees, but has not yet decided where it wants to send them.
He said the United States is weeks away from asking certain countries to take detainees.
The previous Bush administration had approved about 60 detainees for release, and Holder aides would not say if the 30 he was referring to were part of that group.
Additionally, about 20 detainees have been ordered released by the courts, though those cases remain unresolved.
President Barack Obama has ordered the controversial detention site shuttered in the next nine
months and assigned Holder to oversee that effort.
Holder said he has been telling European officials over the past week that "the problem that it created is best solved by a unified response."
Germany, are divided on the issue.
Yet when it comes to the prospect of having former international terror suspects living free, the Obama administration is trying to overcome the not-in-my-backyard sentiment that exists on both sides of the Atlantic.
Closing Guantanamo is good for all nations, he argued, because anger over the prison has become a powerful global recruiting tool for terrorists.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy already has made what was billed as a symbolic gesture of agreeing to take one Guantanamo detainee.
Several European nations, including Portugal and Lithuania, have said they will consider taking such detainees. Others, like
In speaking to reporters Wednesday, Holder also said it is possible the United States could cooperate with a foreign court's investigation of Bush administration officials.
Holder spoke before the announcement that a Spanish magistrate had opened an investigation of Bush officials on harsh interrogation methods. Holder didn't rule out cooperating in such a probe.
"Obviously, we would look at any request that would come from a court in any country and see how and whether we should comply with it." Holder said.
Toddler dies from swine flu

HOUSTON — A Mexico City toddler who traveled to Texas with family to visit relatives is the first confirmed death in the U.S. from swine flu.
The boy, who was nearly 2 years old, arrived in the border city of Brownville with "underlying health issues" on April 4 and developed flu symptoms four days later, the Texas Department of State Health Services said. He was taken to a Brownville hospital April 13 and transferred to the following day to a hospital in Houston, where he died Monday night.
Texas Health Services Commissioner David Lakey said it is "highly likely" the child contracted the illness in Mexico, though that hasn't been confirmed. The boy is one of 16 confirmed swine flu cases in Texas, where Gov. Rick Perry has issued a disaster declaration and schools have shut down across the state out of fear of the virus.
Officials did not specify what underlying health issues the boy had before arriving in the U.S.
The cause of the boy's death was pneumonia caused by the flu virus, Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos said. Texas Children's Hospital, where the boy died, said in a statement he was suffering from "acute respira tory illness."
State health officials declined to identify the boy or his family, citing privacy concerns, medical confidentiality and "the absence of an obvious health threat from the boy to the public at large."
State health officials said the boy would not have been infectious when he flew from Mexico City to Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville. None of his close contacts have developed symptoms.
President Barack Obama said he wanted to extend his "thoughts and prayers" to the child's family. Health officials in Brownsville are trying to trace his family's trip to find out how long they were in the area, who they visited and how
many people were in the group, Cascos said.
The boy's family members "are healthy and well," Houston's health director, Dr. David Persse, said at a Wednesday news conference.
The toddler was about 2 years old. Houston officials said he was 23 months old, but state officials said he was 22 months old and could not immediately explain the discrepancy.
The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the death earlier Wednesday.
The news came as two young brothers in Massachusetts became the first to test positive in the state for swine flu, health officials confirmed Wednesday.
The boys, ages 8 and 10, who
became sick after a vacation to Mexico, are from Lowell — about 35 miles northwest of Boston. Neither child attended school after returning home from the trip.
Nevada confirmed its first case Wednesday — a 2-year-old girl from the Reno area who was not hospitalized and is recovering.
Children, especially those younger than age 5, are particularly vulnerable to flu and its complications, and every year children die from seasonal flu.
According to the CDC, more than 20,000 children younger than age 5 are hospitalized every year because of seasonal flu. In the 2007-08 flu season, the CDC received reports that 86 children nationwide died from flu complications.

INTERNATIONAL Castro says Obama must fix U.S.-Cuba relationship
HAVANA — Raul Castro dismissed President Barack Obama's policy changes toward Cuba as "achieving only the minimum," and said Wednesday that it is up to the United States — not his country — to do more to improve relations.
The U.S. State Department shot back that the onus is on Cuba to show it is serious about meaningful negotiations.
The Obama administration has allowed unlimited travel and money transfers for Americans with family in this country and eased restrictions on telecommunications between the U.S. and Cuba. But top U.S. officials have also insisted they would like to see some Cuban reforms before truly exploring normalizing diplomatic relations that Washington broke off in January 1961.
Cuba's president took a hard line toward any notion that Cuba would embrace even tiny political reforms to appease Washington, telling an international gathering of government ministers, "it is not Cuba who has to make gestures."
Raul Castro previously said he is willing to discuss such sticky subjects as human rights, freedom of the press and political prisoners in Cuba during possible negotiations with the United States. Obama reacted favorably to such sentiments, but Raul's allying brother Fidel appears less comfortable with them and even accused the U.S. president of "misinterpreting" his brother's words.
Raul's comments Wednesday on unilateral concessions to meet U.S. expectations echoed the words of Fidel, who has written in public essays that Obama's policy changes did not go far enough because Washington's 47-year-old trade embargo is still in place.
The younger Castro said that the U.S. steps were, "fine, positive but only achieve the minimum. The embargo remains intact."
"There is not political or moral pretext that justifies this policy," Raul Castro said of the embargo. "Cuba has not imposed any such sanction against the United States or its citizens."

Coach made all the difference in Lee Ridenhour's choice
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
It was Sunday morning, and freshman Lee Ridenhour was sick. Hed spent the last two days trying to rest and get over a case of food poisoning that had been haunting him, but he was still sick.
That didn't stop him.
Ridenhour went out at afternoon and silenced the second-highest scoring offense in the Big 12 for five innings before the sickness finally got the better of him.
"That just shows how tough a kid he is," pitching coach Ryan Graves said. "He's a real competitor. He wanted to go out there and do it, got us through the fifth and gave us a chance to win. It worked out great."
That was two weeks ago against Oklahoma State, but Ridenhour's path to Kansas started a long time before then. The freshman, before he was a freshman, faced a difficult decision: to become a jayhawk or a farmhand of the Minnesota Twins.
"I was actually pitching when I got drafted," Ridenhour said. "So I was like, 'Dad, here's my phone in case, you know, if they call.' It was unreal. All my life, growing up, playing baseball, that's what I wanted to do was go play baseball."
"Man, it was really tempting," Ridenhour said. "Just the idea of just playing baseball and not school — but then I'd never really been away from home. What would I do? I'd get up and go from 8 to 2, but then what would I do?"
It wasn't the last time the Twins dialed that number. From June through August, Minnesota was making a push for Ridenhour to sign with its organization, offering the 18-year-old from Shawnee Mission West a $150,000 signing bonus and a full scholarship.
So he asked around. He talked to his personal pitching coach, who had been drafted several times and told Ridenhour to make the leap, take a shot at the pros. He asked Kevin Seitzer, who spent 12 years in the majors after starring at Eastern Illinois University and now runs a training facility in the Kansas City area. Seitzer advised caution, telling him to take the safe road and head to school.
"I talked to as many people as I could," Ridenhour said. "People that had gone to college; my pitching coach; Kevin Seitzer, who I played with from, like, third grade to eighth grade. It just came down to, we charted out for me, what's
going to have more positives. What's going to be better for me in the long run?"
He talked to his parents, too, of course, and they were split on the idea, just like his coaches.
"My mom really wanted me to go to school," Ridenhour said. "Then my dad was more, like, he wanted me to do what I wanted
Ridenhour understood that he had a little maturing to do. That's why he kept talking to Kansas, where he committed to play long before the draft, and to Graves.
to do. I think right now, talking to them, everyone is really glad that I went to school."
"That's always the risk you take to get the quality arms," Graves
said about Ridenhour going pro.
"But especially with him being a Kansas kid, it's a risk you're willing to take. You know, the draft is just really difficult to predict."
Graves stuck to it, not knowing if things would work out the way he hoped, and went to games Ridenhour was pitching, kept working the phones, talking to
him and his family. Ridenhour noticed.
"Honestly, I never really thought I was going to come to KU," he said. "Then Coach Graves was out to see almost all my starts in high school and throughout the summer. Even when the draft came

Swine flu not the only cause for absence of fans in stands
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
Last Sunday, as the swine flu spread, a Mexican professional soccer game was contested in an empty Estadio Azteca
- Latin America largest stadium.
While this rare scene of hundreds of thousands of unoccupied seats was prompted by the threat of lethal influenza, my mind drifted to a daydream with more plastic than flesh in the stands of our nation's state of the art dios.
The H1N1 virus arrives at a curious time. In this 21st century a greed-borne illness has afflicted professional sports franchises, sometimes creeping to the "amateur level." There's never a bad time to be a fan, but the swine like to make it close.
When we elect to take in a game at a local sports bar or in our homes, we are not driven away from the stadium by the play on the field, but instead by the field itself. Free parking, cheap beer and crystal-clear Hi-Def take precedence over paying to park and paying even more to wait in line at the toilets.
For the first time since I've had a breath in my body, my dad has relinquished the Chiefs season tickets he's held since 1980, when $15 would get you close enough to get mud on you.
I rang him the other night to discuss this and what the future may hold. We used to arrive plenty early to cook homemade chili before freezing our butts off inside Arrowhead Stadium for a few hours and went home happier because of it. Now, he — like a growing number of fans — simply can't afford to pay the annual $1,600 for a pair of tickets to an event that gouges you into oblivion before you leave your car.
The Chiefs used to have a waiting list for season tickets like several other NFL clubs. It was like the mafia: Death was usually the only way out. But as prices rose in concert with poor play, 12-hour wallet-decimating excursions began losing their luster. And most of us won't be there to inherit what for many had become a family tradition. Hell, if my dad can't afford it, how can I?
One needs only to look to the recent mega-stadiums popping up for evidence that sports executives are catching on to this. Sure, they may promote nostalgia, innovation or some combination of both but the proliferation of luxury boxes and privileged seating suggests otherwise. Our shiny new stadiums are beginning to replace the Marriott as the destination for corporate conventions. Pro sports execs know who their new target audience is.
"It costs way too much for food and beer," he told me. "And it's better on TV"
I guess the sad thing is we may not really care all that much. Since it's cheaper and easier to get together with friends, crack open a beer that doesn't cost $9 and watch every game in HD we may not mind seeing more suits than painted bellies so long as the game's still on. Or, like Mexico, we may watch with no crowd at all.

And we here at the Brew would be remiss if we didn't take a moment to savor the greatest sports poem in American history.
BREW POETS' SOCIETY
It was written in 1888 by a man named Ernest Thayer, and it begins like this:
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville Nine that day;
The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play.
Can you name it? Yes, it's "Casey at the Bat," and the iconic poem ends like this:
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light.
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.

More specifically, we're talking NASCAR, where driver Carl Edwards, who attended the University of Missouri and lives in Columbia, suffered one of the most gnarly crashes in recent racing history.
Edwards' car went airborn on the last lap of the Aaron's 499 at Talladega on Sunday, spinning and slamming into the fence that is supposed to protect the fans from the cars on the track.
Unbelievably, Edwards jumped out of his car and jogged across the finish line - a true Ricky Bobby moment. We usually would tell you to type "Carl Edwards and NASCAR crash" into your YouTube search and enjoy, but perhaps "enjoy" isn't the right word. Just watch ... and be awed.

Famous Petty and Andretti unite at the Indianapolis 500
BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press
Pettv. Andretti.
The King is coming to Indy.
And Richard Petty is bringing
an Andretti along for the ride.
The family names alone fill pages of stock car and IndyCar history books. Now two of the most famous names in auto racing will again be united at one of the sport's most famous tracks.
For Petty, the driver long synonymous with NASCAR, the Indianapolis 500 offers a whole new kind of racing style and pageantry. More than 50 years after making his NASCAR debut, Petty will be a rookie at next month's Indianapolis 500, albeit as an owner.
"You've got to be there to really appreciate just how big a show it is," Petty said.
Petty got his first taste of the open cockpit 33-car field last year. The tradition and atmosphere were enough to convince the winningest driver in NASCAR history to put on his sunglasses and black hat and get work on entering a car in this year's race.

He's going with John Andretti behind the wheel. Andretti drove for Petty Enterprises on the Cup circuit and recorded the last win for that team in Martinsville back in 1999. Andretti is the nephew of former 500 winner Mario Andretti and cousin of longtime race regular, Michael Andretti.

John Andretti was the first driver to compete in the Indy 500 and the Cup's Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. IndyCar's premier race now starts later, making the double an impossibility for drivers. But not for an owner like Petty, who plans to attend the races in Indianapolis

His stock car commitments kept him from Indianapolis each May. But Andretti always chirped away at his boss at how special it was to race on the 2.5-mile oval. Sure, Cup racing had come to the Brickyard in the 1990s, so Petty was familiar with the pagoda and the bricks and the history that makes Indianapolis special to so many drivers.

Andretti will make his 10th career Indy start and he's never finished better than fifth (1991). He has only two career Cup wins and no top-10s this season in nine starts, and will miss points races in Darlington and Charlotte before returning at Dover. He's not anywhere near title contention, so his absences won't really hurt.
Petty and Andretti both say this isn't a publicity stunt. They're going to the Speedway intending to field a competitive car and go for the win. No Andretti driver has won a race since Mario in 1969.

Basketball broadcaster Gondrezick dies at age 53
School officials and friend Bobby Gleason said Gondrezick died daylong at St. Rose Hospital in Henderson, Nev., after complications from a heart transplant that he received last September.
LAS VEGAS — Former UNLV basketball star Glen Gondrezick, who later played for the New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets before turning to broadcasting, has died. He was 53.
Gondreizck starred on the Rebels' Final Four team in 1977, and his jersey was retired in 1997. He ranks 16th on the school's career scoring list with 1,311 points.
Gondrezick played for the Knicks and Nuggets from 1977 to 1983, and later spent 17 years doing color commentary on NLV basketball broadcasts.

Senior finishes in top 10 at Big 12 tournament
Team takes seventh place at the championships
BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO clucero@kansan.com
Prior to the Big 12 Tournament at Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, Kansas had not met its expectations with the team's finishes.
This week the layhawks surprised more than themselves. Senior Zach Pederson continued his steady play with a final round 74 to lock up a 10th place finish that earned him All-Big 12 Tournament team honors. Pederson was a big factor in overcoming a 10-seed and helped the team garner 7th place honors with a final score of 1191.
"Obviously, we're happy to beat some of these solid Big 12 teams," sophomore Nate Barbee said. "We all contributed in some way or another this week."
Barbee's 74 on Wednesday locked up a tie for 21st while senior Andrew Storm fired a final round 71 to pull into a tie for 25th. Junior Bryan Hackenberg and senior Walt Koeelibel shot a 78 and 80 to earn ties for 34th and 57th, respectively.

"It was nice because the Big 12 conference has so many good golf teams so it was nice to show that we can keep up with some of those teams," Barbee said.

Storm also mentioned the resolve the team showed to give the season a proper ending.
Storm and the rest of the team now must wait for the decision to see who will be selected to play in the 2009 NCAA Regional Championships. Oklahoma State earned an automatic bid with their win.

Button is best in Bahrain Formula One racer gets a breather as rivals seek to close gap
BY CHRIS LINES Associated Press
SAKHIR, Bahrain - Ienson Button will use the weekend off to take stock of his amazing ride in Formula One's season-opening swing through Asia.
The teams that have struggled in the first four races will use the break to look toward the next 13 races, thankful the series still has a long ways to go.
Button recorded
his third win in four starts with a victory at Bahrain on Sunday, giving the Brawn GP driver a 12-point lead atop the standings.
Button recorded his third win in four starts with a victory at Bahrain on Sunday, giving Brawn GP driver a 12-point lead atop the standings.
The Englishman used what he acknowledged was the "finest first lap of my career" to win in Bahrain, yet also recognized that the advantage the Brawn cars enjoyed in the first race in Australia has gradually been eroded in Malaysia, China and in the Gulf.
Indeed, had the slower but hard-to-pass Lewis Hamilton not stood between Button and Bahrain runner-up Sebastian Vettel for the opening 13 laps on Sunday, Vettel's Red Bull would have had the pace to overhaul his Brawn rival.
Button's 12-point lead would normally be a considerable buffer after four races, but the F1 circus that is preparing to tackle a long European campaign starting May 10 in Spain has been anything but ordinary this season.
Just about all the teams in the field are expecting to make significant strides in refining the aerodynamics of their cars before hitting the track in Barcelona.
Brawn will have its own upgrade to the so-called diffuser that creates downforce, and Button will be hoping that it at least keeps him on an even footing with Red Bull and Toyota, allowing his points lead to stand up rather than be gobbled up.
For last year's dominant teams, the chance to improve their cars may have come too late.
Ferrari got its first points of the season in Bahrain, narrowly avoiding going through the opening four races of a season without a point for the first time in history. It should be more like its old self in the remaining races, but a championship challenge appears unlikely.
Ferrari's points leave BMW as the team with the most question marks. The team's cars were the last two across the line on Sunday after finishing third and fourth in
Bahrain last year and having had one on the pole.
BMW will be among the teams to fit a two-tiered diffuser to its car ahead of Barcelona, though it remains to be seen whether it can do a better job than other teams
making the upgrade.
Among those teams will be McLaren, which got a fourth-place finish from Hamilton in Bahrain and received good news Wednesday when it learned his bid to repeat as champion wouldn't be derailed
over a breach of rules in Australia and Malaysia.
The World Motor Sport Council gave the team a suspended three-race ban that would only be
applied if McLaren commits a further infraction or if new facts come to light in the case.
Of the pacesetters so far, Brawn and Toyota have the least room for improvement, given they had been using the
sion to run the long second stint of the race on medium-compound tires backfired when Button pulled away on super-soft tires, leaving Jarno Trulli to defend a second place he ultimately lost.
A maiden win remains elusive for the Japanese manufacturer, which has rarely had such an opportunity for victory.
With Toyota regularly wasting chances, Red Bull looms as the main challenger to Brawn. The team has had neither the two-tiered diffuser nor the KERS power-boost system all year, yet has had the quickest car in China and Bahrain.
double-decker diffuser all season.
Toyota came away from Bahrain with disappointing results considering it put its cars first and second on the grid in qualifying.
It may not have the good diffuser in Barcelona either, as the chassis of its car will need more remodeling than any other to accommodate the overhaul. The team expects it to be in place for
double-decker diffuser all season.

Monaco on May 24.
Should the change be managed successfully, Vettel could prove hard to keep from his bid to become the sport's youngest ever world champion.
Or perhaps when F1 rolls around to its final race in Abu
Dhabi, minds will be cast back to that race a bit further up the Persian Gulf in Bahrain in April, when Button won, giving him just enough points to hold on.

ing from the team's No.1 starter.
DENVER — A minor adjustment in Aaron Cook's delivery made a world of difference Wednesday for the Colorado Rockies' right-hander.
Cook pitched seven strong innings for his first win, and Todd Helton and Chris Iannett both drove in three runs in Colorado's 7-5 victory over the San Diego Padres.
"I knew once I fixed the mechanical part, things would come back to where they need to be," Cook said, noting he had worked with pitching coach Bob Apodaca over the past couple weeks to correct a tiny flaw in his release point. "Just breaking down my mechanics a little bit and fixing that one little thing made a huge difference. If I just keep doing that, I'll be a lot more consistent and give our team a chance to win some more games."
Colorado manager Clint Hurdle was encouraged by the solid out-
"I thought he was able to maintain and repeat his delivery solidly for six innings." Hurdle said. "He got the ball up a little bit in the seventh, really the only time in the whole game he got some pitches up. But it was a quality start and it was very, very good to see. He's our guy. He's our ace."
Adrian Gonzalez homered twice for San Diego, which fell behind 7-0 and lost for the fourth time in five games.
Gonzalez's seventh career multithomer game pushed his season total to nine, a Padres record for April.
Cook (1-1) allowed three runs and five hits and struck out three in beating the Padres for the 12th time in 16 decisions. He earned his 53rd career victory with the Rockies, tying Pedro Astacio for second on the team's list.
The key, Cook said, was his ability to keep his sinker down in the zone, with only a couple of exceptions which Gonzalez and Henry
Blanco tagged for home runs in the seventh.
"Today, I predominantly used my sinker," he said. "I threw only three breaking balls and I felt like my old self. I got a lot of pitches down in the zone. I got a couple pitches up and those were the ones that went over the fence."
The win was his first since Aug. 29, 2008, at San Diego, ending an eight-start string in which he had gone 0-2 with six no-decisions.
"We didn't give up. We had some good at-bats at the end. This was encourag," Gonzalez said. "(Cook) kept the ball down low and was aggressive. He uses both sides of the plate. You don't always know if you'll see fastballs or sinkers. He gets you to swing at pitches you normally don't want to swing at."
Huston Street earned his second save.
Kevin Correia (0-2) went five innings and allowed three runs and six hits, including home runs by Helton and Iannetta.

around and I had already committed, he was still out there watching me pitch. The commitment he showed to go and say, you know, 'We still want you.' It just seemed like he really, really wanted me to come here."
Recruiting Ridenhour gave new meaning to the words "last call" for the Jayhawks, though. Ridenhour was standing in Graves' office when he noticed a missed call — from a Minnesota area code.
"Even when I was moving in
on August 15,
because that was
the last day, I had
a missed call from the
Twins because
I just didn't feel it
ring. So I checked
my phone and was
'Hey, kind of
funny, Coach. I've
got a missed call
from the Twins.'
So he told me to call them back."
Graves remembers the incident well, and said it was nerve-wracking.
"Oh man, absolutely, that was," Graves said. "Like we talked about it's hard to predict and even though he's a 31st rounder, I mean, you're thinking the money won't be great. But it just really depends on what happens in front of him and they may end up having money for a guy like him."
Fortunately for the Jayhawks, Ridenhour wasn't buying what the Twins had to sell. They told him that they were waiting to see if their deal with another prospect fell through, but Ridenhour wasn't ready to wait any longer. He told the Twins thanks, but no thanks, and finally was sold on being a Jayhawk.
"I'm having so much fun here and we're playing amazing. I mean, we just swept Texas, you know."
to be the second choice."
"When they said that, I was just kind of the fall back, and that's fine, I have nothing against them." Ridenhour said. "But I didn't want
LEE RIDENHOUR Freshman pitcher
It's worked out well for both the Jayhawks and Ridenhour so far. Ridenhour won his first three starts of the season to work his way into a coveted weekend rotation spot and started in the third and final game of the Jayhawks' historical sweep of No. 1 Texas.
"I thought his upside was absolutely outstanding," coach Ritch Price said. "We thought that, if he continued to grow and improve, then he could develop
into an impact player. Obviously, that's what he's already become. He has the ability to be a legitimate Friday night starter in this conference — and those guys are special."
Ridenhour knows he has room to improve as a pitcher, certainly, but he had to learn the hard way that he has room to improve with the press. He told reporters after going eight scoreless innings against Wichita State that he had, after being recruited by both schools, chosen Kansas because Wichita State was "a program on the decline."
Not surprisingly, it found its way into the Wichita Eagle — and the Shockers have no doubt circled their next game against Kansas on the schedule.
"Obviously that's a very emotional game, a very emotional win for him, but there's some things that shouldn't be said." Price said. "He gave them some things to put up on the bulletin board. At the same time, you make mistakes and you grow from those. I'm sure next time he's interviewed, and he'll be interviewed throughout his career, he'll understand that."
Graves said not to judge him based on one quote after an emotional game.
"He's a more humble, wellrounded kid than, you know, some things he said would lead you to believe," Graves said.
Ridenhour was much more toned down talking about the differences between Kansas and Wichita State the second time around — "I just felt more wanted here," he said — and it seems like he's starting to show the maturation the coaches are asking for.
"I think that it was a better choice for me to go to college," Ridenhour said. "It's giving me a chance to really grow and mature. I don't know if I would have experienced the same thing in professional."
Ridenhour said he does think about how it might have gone had he decided to go pro, especially considering how successful he has been early on. It's a question that fellow freshman Zac Elgie also has.
Elgie was also picked in the 2008 draft, in the twelfth round by the Oakland Athletics. He said he started to wonder about what could have been when the Jayhawks took a road trip to play Arizona State. The Royals were holding their spring training in the same city the team was in and the collegians spent a little time with the big leaguers.
"There was a couple of guys who said that they had never went to college." Elgie said. "So, of course it made me think about, you know, what if I would not have gone to college?"
It's a question that neither freshman has a definitive answer to. But Elgie and Ridenhour aren't too worried about it right now.
"I'm having so much fun here and we're playing amazing," Ridenhour said. "I mean, we just swept Texas, you know. Unreal.
"No regrets."
As of now, Kansas (20-28, 5-9) sits at eighth in the Big 12 but could finish as high as fifth if the team can string together some victories against Texas A&M and Iowa State, with whom they play a two game series over the week-end.
SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
going."
Earning a more favorable position in the Big 12 regular season standing could vastly improve the chances Kansas has going into the postseason tournament. Val George commented on the importance of these last two Big 12 conference series'.
"They're huge. From what I'm aware of, if we can get two solid sweeps we would be a good position to finish fifth or sixth and
not have to compete in the play-in game. Nobody wants to play the play in game"
Texas A&M (29-18, 6-8) has earned a sixth place ranking in the Big 12 thus far into the season and have only today's doubleheader with Kansas and a single game against both Texas and Baylor in order to make a push of its own.
The A&M offense, batting .271 collectively with a .369 on base percentage, is led by sophomore second baseman Natalie Villarreal (.353, 10 2B, 29 R), the only Aggie batting above .300.
With a .971 fielding percentage and only 40 errors, the Texas A&M defense is ranked third in the Big 12 and 22nd in the nation, which has been a big help to pitcher
Rhiannon Kliesling (20-11), who has shouldered the load for the Aggie pitching staff.
HORSE RACING
"This is the first year that I can remember so much parity in the Big 12.
The Aggies come into today's contests having split with Iowa State over this past weekend. This year's Big 12 conference has been one of the most competitive in years. Bunge spoke about the level of play throughout the 2009 Big 12 regular season.
One through 10, anybody can beat anybody, which, from a fan's perspective, is exciting to see. I've never seen a year where the winning team has four losses."

Sophomore pitcher Brett Bochy hurls the ball during the Javhawks' April 26 game against Nebraska at Hoplund Ballpark. Bochy is second on the team in strikeouts despite pitching only 27 innings.
Pitching duo thrives in new roles
BY JOSH BOWE
jbowe@kansan.com
Brett Bollman and Brett Bochy have more in common than just a first name.
Both are right-handed pitchers, and both were expected to be significant bullpen contributors before the season started. Senior closer Paul Smyth predicted great things from the duo before the season started.
"I've kind of got the two Bretts in front of me," Smyth said back in February. "They're both very, very quality pitchers. I'm really looking for those two guys to link that sixth, seventh and eighth inning."
But a lot has happened since February. For one, Kansas is the surprise of the Big 12, standing in sole possession of fifth place and only a game back of second-place Oklahoma. That could change when the two teams contest a
THIS WEEKEND
Kansas vs. Oklahoma Norman, Okla.
Game 1: Friday, 6:30 p.m.
Game 2: Saturday, 2 p.m.
Game 3: Sunday, 1 p.m.
three-game series this weekend in Norman, Okla.
The pitching staff's roles have changed, too. Smyth has brown five saves this season and was shut down for a couple of weeks to help his sore throwing arm recover. Bochy, a sophomore, was expected to pitch the eighth inning, but he has seen action in just about every inning but the first. Bollman, a junior, is the Jayhawk's most effective midweek starter.
But despite holding down different roles than they expected, the two have thrived. Bochy is second
on the team in strikeouts despite only pitching 27-plus innings and is third on the team in appearances. Coach Ritch Price said Bochy's 4.88 ERA doesn't really do justice to his performance this season.
"His ERA is still really high because he had those two bad innings. When you're a relief pitcher, that just skews your stats off the charts, but we've been really pleased with his development." Price said.
Bollman is tied for first in victories with five, and his 1.70 ERA leads the team. Price decided to convert Bollman into a starter because he needed someone reliable to pitch midweek games.
Bollman was shut down for the season toward the end of last year because of arm fatigue. But more than halfway through his first full season as a starter, Bollman said the arm is coping with the change well.
"Last year, the main reason for the fatigue was that I was throwing pretty much everyday, if not back-
to-back days." Bollman said. "When you start, you get a few days off. You get rest."
Bochy has had to adjust mightily during his sophomore season. On some days, he might be asked to pitch five innings if a starter gets knocked out early.
Other times, Bochy enters the game with a slim lead to protect. Regardless of the situation, Bochy has handled himself well.
Bollman, with some help from Bochy, has spurred Kansas to a 16-3 record in midweek games. For many teams, that record can be a blemish on an NCAA tournament resume. But not this year for Kansas.
"I've had a lot of good guys here that have helped me out," he said. "Paul Smyth has really shown me how to deal with these situations and helped me prepare."
"Obviously, Bollman is why our midweek record is so good," Price said.

Cardinals take series from punchless Braves
St. Louis, 15-7, off to best start since 2006
BY CHARLES ODUM Associated Press
ATLANTA—Adam Wainwright overcame five walks and drove in a run during a four-run fifth innings, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the weak-hitting Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Wednesday night.
The Cardinals won two of three in the series against the Braves, who have scored three runs or fewer in 11 of 15 games after scoring at least four runs in each of their first six games.
Wainwright (3-0), the Brunswick, Ga., native who began his career with the Braves, allowed seven hits and three runs — two earned — with five walks and two strikeouts in six innings. He gave up three runs in the first three innings, but the Braves couldn't hold a 3-1 lead.
The Cardinals are off to their best start since 2006, when they also were 15-7.
St. Louis, which blew a 1-0 lead in the eighth inning in Tuesday night's 2-1 loss to the Braves, protected the late lead in the final game of the series. With two outs and runners on first and second in the eighth, second baseman Skip Schumaker jumped to catch a soft liner by Omar Infante off closer Ryan Franklin.
Franklin recorded three outs for his seventh save.
Javier Vazquez (2-2) gave up nine hits and five runs with one walk in eight innings. He struck out eight — his fourth straight start with at least eight strikeouts.
Atlanta led 3-1 before the Cardinals scored four runs in the fifth on six singles, including five up the middle.
Wainwright, Albert Pujols Chris Duncan and Rick Ankiel had RBI singles,the last three with two outs.
Infante had three hits, including a run-scoring single in the second. The Cardinals tied the game at 1-all on Schumaker's RBI single in the third.
St. Louis, who began the day tied with Washington for the major league lead with 20 errors, had another bobble which helped the Braves take the lead in the third.
Casey Kotchman doubled at left and initially stopped at third on Jeff Francoeur's single to right. Cardinals right fielder Colby Rasmus couldn't cleanly field the hit, and Kotchman scored on the error for a 2-1 lead as Francoeur advanced to second. Francoeur scored on a wild pitch by Wainwright after moving to third on a groundout.
MLB Former Royals reliever dropped by White Sox
CHICAGO — Mike MacDougal has been placed on waivers Wednesday by the Chicago White Sox, who grew impatient with the hard-throwing righthander reliever's wildness and poor results.
The 32-year-old had been
designated for assignment on April 21 after compiling a 12.46 ERA in five appearances this season. In parts of four years with the White Sox, he was 3-6 with a 4.77 ERA.
Chicago is responsible for the rest of his $2.65 million salary.
MacDougal walked 58 walks, hit five batters and threw 16 wild pitches in only 88 2-3 innings after he was acquired from Kansas City in a 2006 trade.

Runner among six athletes who test positive in dope case
BY STEPHEN WILSON
LONDON — The gold medalist in one of track and field's glamour races and a silver winner in cycling are among six athletes from the Beijing Games nabbed for blood doping in the latest Olympic drug scandal.
A person with knowledge of the results told The Associated Press that Greek race walker Athanasia Tsoumeleka and Croatian 800-meter runner Vanja Perisic also tested positive.
If their backup "B" samples also come back positive, the athletes face being disqualified, stripped of medals and banned from the next Olympics.
National sports bodies in Bahrain and Italy confirmed Wednesday that 1,500-meter champion Rashid Ramzi and road race medalist Davide Rebellin turned up positive for the new blood-boosting drug CERA in retests of their samples. Dominican women's weightlifter Yudelquis Contreras and prominent German cyclist Stephan Schumacher were among the others.
The International Olympic Committee announced Tuesday that a total of seven positive tests involving six athletes came back positive for CERA, which increases endurance by stimulating production of oxygen-rich red blood cells. The IOC has not named the athletes or the sports involved.
The six new cases bring to 15 the total number of athletes caught doping in Beijing, and underscore both the persistence of cheating across sports and nations and the IOC's aggressive policy in catching drug users even outside the period of the Olympics.
The IOC reanalyzed a total of 948 samples from Beijing after new lab tests for CERA and insulin became available following the Olympics. The testing began in January and focused mainly on endurance events in cycling, rowing, swimming and track and field.
Ramzi won Bahrain's first gold medal in track and field and is the first champion from the Beijing Games to be busted for use of performance-enhancing drugs.
The Moroccan-born runner, who won the 800-1,500 double at the 2005 world championships, gave Bahrain its first ever Olympic track and field gold medal with victory in Beijing in 3 minutes. 32.94 seconds.
Ramzi's "B" sample will be tested in France on June 8 and he will face an IOC hearing the same day, the Bahrain Olympic Committee said.
Ramzi became a citizen of Bahrain after moving to the Gulf nation to take up a job in that country's armed forces in 2002, but retains a Moroccan passport and trains with a old coach Khalid Boulami.
"The Bahrain Olympic Committee apologizes for receiving such news from the International Olympic Committee since it ensured Ramzi went through all the necessary doping tests before the games and they were all negative," the committee said in a statement.
If he is stripped of the Beijing victory, Asbel Kiprato Kiprop of Kenya stands to be upgraded from silver to
Track and field has been battered by Olympic drug scandals, from 100-meter winner Ben Johnson in 1988 to spinner Marion Jones in 2000, both of whom were stripped of their golds.
gold. Nicolas Willis of New Zealand would go from bronze to silver, and fourth-place finisher Mehdi Baala of France could move up to the bronze medal.
However, the person with knowledge of the results identified the two others as Tsoumeleka and Perisic. The person confirmed their identities to the AP on condition anonymity because the names haven't been released by the IOC.
Toummeleka finished ninth in the 20-kilometer walk, and Perisic was eliminated in the first-round heats of the 800.
The International Association of Athletics Federations confirmed it had received notification of three cases in track and field, but declined to give any names because they were considered confidential.
Toumeleka announced in January that she had tested positive in Beijing rechecks. She was charged by a Greek prosecutor earlier this month with using banned drugs.
"The IAAF would like to commend the IOC for their efforts in the storage and re-analysis of samples and for their coordination with the IAAF in this process," the federation said in a statement. "This step shows that athletes who
cheat can never be comfortable that they will avoid detection and sends a strong message of deterrence."
In Rome, the Italian Olympic Committee suspended Rebellin and anti-doping prosecutor Ettore Torri called him to a hearing on Monday.
"I don't see why I should take a path that would ruin me or my image," Rebellin told Italy's state TV on Wednesday. "I don't know if I'll still be able to race, but I will always ride because cycling is my life."
The 37-year-old Rebellin finished second behind Spain's Samuel Sanchez in the Olympic road race. If he loses his medal, Switzerland's Fabian Cancellera could move to silver and Russia's Alexander Kolobnev to bronze.
Rebellin's pro cycling team, Diqiuigovanni-Androni, temporarily suspended the rider, pending analysis of the "B" sample.
The German cycling federation announced that Schumacher, who finished 13th in the Beijing time trial and dropped out before the finish of the road race, was among the positive cases.
The 27-year-old Schumacher already has been banned for two years by the International Cycling Union after being caught by French authorities in retesting of Tour de France samples for CERA.
Schumacher won two individual time trial stages at the Tour de France last July and wore the yellow jersey for two days as race leader.
Super Bowl MVP Holmes arraigned on pot charge
BY DAN NEPHIN Associated Press
COURTS
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers receiver and Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes was arraigned Wednesday on a misdemeanor marijuana charge stemming from a traffic stop.
Holmes' attorney, Robert DelGreco Jr., appeared at the brief hearing where charges were formally presented. Holmes did not appear, nor was he required to.
DelGreco said he planned to challenge the constitutionality of the stop, but did not elaborate.
"I will be filling a suppression motion. That will be a public record and we'll go from there," he said.
Pittsburgh police said they
found three marijuana-filled cigars in Holmes' car when he was pulled over Oct. 23. Holmes was stopped because his car was similar to one they were looking for in a drug sting.
DelGreco has characterized the charge "as low as a grade a misdemeanor you can get". The penalty is up to 30 days probation and a $500 fee, he said.
Holmes was cooperative and alerted officers to the drugs, police said.
Coach Mike Tomlin deactivated Holmes for a game following the traffic stop.
He was not arrested and received a court summons, which is common with misdemeanor charges in Pennsylvania.
Holmes said he "learned a lot" from missing a game following the traffic stop. Before the Super Bowl, Holmes told the media that he had dealt drugs for a year in his hometown of Belle Glade, Fla.
Holmes, a first-round draft pick out of Ohio State in 2006, has had two other run-ins with the law since the Steelers drafted him. In June 2006, he was charged with domestic violence in Columbus, Ohio.
In May 2006, Holmes was arrested for disorderly conduct by police in Miami, who later dropped the charges.
No trial date has been set on the recent charge, but a pretrial conference was scheduled for May 22 in Allegheny County Court.

Champion sprinter Bolt in car crash
BY HOWARD CAMPBELL
Associated Press
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Olympic champion spinterer Usain Bolt was in a car crash Wednesday in Jamaica, but police and his manager said he was not seriously injured.
Bolt was apparently speeding on a rain-slicked highway when he lost control of the BMW M3 and it went off the road, police Sgt. David Sheriff told The Associated Press. Sheriff was the first officer to arrive at the scene in St. Catherine parish and found the car heavily damaged.
An official at Spanish Town Hospital confirmed Bolt appeared
to have only scratches. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of privacy concerns, said Bolt was "very calm" and that doctors were examining him to make sure there were no other injuries. The official said Bolt would be required to provide a statement to police.
Bolt and an unidentified female passenger were taken to the hospital, though neither was seriously hurt, Sheriff said.
The track star's manager, Norman Peart, said Bolt sustained nothing more than scratches from thorn bushes when he stepped out of the car on the side of the road.
"We are very relieved he's OK,"
Peart told the AP.
Bolt's team will conduct tests over the next 48 hours to decide whether he sticks to his competition schedule, Peart said. Bolt has a meet Saturday in Jamaica and is set to run a 150-meter street race in Manchester, England on May 17.
The 22-year-old sprinter won the 100 and 200 meters at the Beijing Olympics and was part of the Jamaica team which won the 4x100 relay. All three gold medals were earned in world record times.
Bolt was given the BMW by his sponsor Puma as a reward for his outstanding performance in the Olympics.

'Tyson'explores rise and fall of boxer
42-year-old Mike Tyson says watching documentary of his career was difficult
(1)
Director James Toback and boxer Mike Tyson pose for a portrait in New York on April 20. The documentary "Tyson" has been reviewed as Toback's best film to date.
BY JAKE COYLE Associated Press
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mike Tyson is looking over the reviews for the new documentary "Tyson."
Gathered together for an interview in a Manhattan hotel, director James Toback is eagerly sharing magazine clippings with the former heavyweight champion, pointing to fresh reviews from critics who have called it Toback's best film and a revelation of the polarizing pugilist.
Tyson, 42 and four years retired from the ring, is only so impressed. Now heavier around the waist, Tyson exudes a knocked-around serenity.
"Those things don't excite me anymore — press and lights and cameras," Tyson said. "I know if I start believing that stuff, I could be a monster and nobody would like me."
And many don't like Tyson. Though he was perhaps the last great heavyweight champion (44 of his 50 wins came by knockout and he was the youngest to take the titles), he is often remembered more for his violent outbursts inside and outside of the ring.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In 1992, he was convicted of rapine Desiree Washington and he
served three years in prison. In a fight with his chief rival, Evander Holyfield, in 1996, he was disqualified for biting off a piece of his ear.
The picture that emerged of Tyson was of an out-of-control monster.
"Tyson" hopes to illuminate a fuller, more humanistic view of Tyson, depicting him as a rags-to-riches tragedy and, above all, a misunderstood figure.
"Not only misunderstood, but grotesque misunderstood," Toback said, the 64-year-old film-maker of "Fingers" and the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Bugsy." "The vast majority of the people who have put Mike down don't have a tenth of the intelligence or the character that he has. Mike is a fundamentally very, very good human being. That doesn't mean he hasn't done bad things."
In the 88 minutes of "Tyson," Tyson is the only talking head — neither Washington nor Hollyfield nor anyone else gets a say here. The film, of which Tyson is also a producer, makes no claim of objectivity but it's nevertheless striking for its honesty.
"I've been to the edge and I've looked over the cliff of sanity and I wanted to take a swan dive."
Tyson, who Toback interviewed for a week in Los Angeles while Tyson was going through rehab, begins by discussing — in his uniquely philosophical way — "the chaos of the brain," wondering, "Who am I?"
He discusses humiliation as a child leading him to take up boxing; his mentoring by legendary trainer and surrogate father Cus D'Amato (Tyson cries discussing his 1985 death); his obsession with women; his brief marriage to Robin Givens ("we were just kids");
his embarrassing final defeats in 2004 and 2005; contracting gonorrhea from a "filthy lady"; and the feeling of physical triumph: "Once I'm in the ring, I'm a God."
Tyson said that watching the film — a kind of mashed-
up monologue — was difficult for him.
"When I look at the movie, I say,
If I was in the room with that guy,
I would be very nervous" Tyson said.
"I never knew — and this is crazy — I never knew why I had the public opinion the way I did. Then when I watch the movie, I get it," Tyson said. "For the first time, I get it. I'm watching it as a human being that's very rational now. I say, 'This guy's so unpredictable, you don't know if he's going to (take you) out to dinner or stab you with a fork. His mind will run riot.'"
At times, the screen splinters into several boxes of talking Tysons, clearly suggesting his many contradictions — an enormous, animalistic ego contrasted with an inferiority complex.
Though in the documentary he acknowledged abusing
women, Tyson still denies raping Washington. About the Holyfield fight, he said, "I'm a good person, but I went insane."
Later, Tyson said: "If I have any anger, it's directed at myself."
Some will immediately dismiss "Tyson" because of the boxer's reputation and, in particular, his rape conviction.
To those people, Tyson says: "I'm a human being. I was young at one time. Yes, I have abused a woman before ... I've made a mistake. And I'm going to continue to make mistakes — but not the same ones."
Tyson added that growing up, he watched his mother be abused, warping his sense of relationships. He also argued that women's rights had come so far in the past century
that society was still catching up.
Critics have been largely forgiving of "Tyson," applauding Toback's film which got a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Rolling Stone called it "a world-class exhibition of punchdrunk love." Slate, though, said it was "candid without being truthful."
Toback — a larger than life figure in his own right — and Tyson have been friends for more than two decades. They first bonded, they say in the 2005 documentary about Toback "The Outsider," in a conversation about "madness and orgies."
"I figured he'd be champion for 15 years," Toback said while swallowing a pile of assorted pills. (He
says he takes 150 in a day.) "Then he turns out to be as complicated and crazy as I am. You have your internal enemies."
They each consider themselves "extremists." Tyson made cameos in two of Toback's earlier films, including a scene in 1999's "Black and White" in which Tyson assaults Robert Downey Jr.'s character after he comes on to him.
Tyson said he and Toback were similar "in a bizarre way"
"We challenge the borders of sanity and insanity," Tyson said. "We challenge it. I don't know if I'm still this way, but this is where I know I've been. I've been to the edge and I've looked over the cliff of sanity and I wanted to take a swan dive."

Miami Heat's Jermaine O'Neal takes a hand to the face from Atlanta Hawks' Zaza Pachulia, of Georgia, as they play for a rebound in the fourth quarter of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference NBA playoff series in Atlanta on Wednesday. Atlanta won 106-91.
Hard hits, fouls rule the night
Atlanta walks away with victory in Game 5
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
Associated Press
ATLANTA — Dwyane Wade banged his head on the court. Al Horford hobbled to the locker room. Jamaal Magloire doled out a shove and Josh Smith pushed back.
On a night of hard fouls, plenty of banging and staredown galore, the Atlanta Hawks moved closer to reaching the second round of the NBA playoffs for the first time in a decade, beating Miami 106-91 Wednesday to take a 3-2 lead in the series.
They can only hope they've got enough players left to finish off Wade and the Heat.
Joe Johnson had his best game of the postseason with 25 points, and the Hawks took control during a couldn't-miss second quarter that pushed them to a 63-40 halftime lead. Flip Murray added 23 points off the bench.
While the outcome was never really in question, there was plenty of extracurricular activity to spice up the fifth straight game decided by a double-figure margin.
Horford managed to shoot two free throws, but it quickly became apparent he couldn't go on. The Hawks' second-year center was helped to the locker room, his arms draped around two trainers, and didn't return. Instead, he began treatment for what was described as a moderate ankle sprain.
Early on, Wade collided with Smith and banged the back of his head on the floor, leaving him sprawled out for several minutes. He finally staggered to the locker room for treatment, holding a towel to his head. Not long after the NBA's leading scorer returned, Horford was fouled hard by James Jones and fell into Wade on the way down, landing awkwardly on his right foot.
The Hawks already were missing starting forward Marvin Williams, who sat out his third straight game with a sprained right wrist. When Mike Bibby picked up his fourth foul, Atlanta played much of the third quarter with only two regular starters on the court. Solomon
Jones and Mario West got extensive minutes after playing sparingly during the regular season.
Wade was already bothered by back spasms that contributed to a dismal 9-of-26 shooting performance in Game 4, which the Hawks won 81-71 to reclaim home-court advantage. Still groggy from his blow to the head, Wade made only 1-of-6 shots in the first half as Atlanta pulled away.
The Hawks made 13-of-16 from the field in the second quarter, including their last 12 attempts, to push a 24-10 lead to a commanding 23-point margin by halftime.
When Jones doloed out a hard foul on a driving Wade, the two players tumbled into the basket support and stared each other down. Magloire jumped in and shoved Jones. Smith took offense and shoved Magloire. The referees stepped in before any blows were thrown, though all four players were given technicals.
Then, with Maurice Evans going in for a layup, Wade slammed into the Atlanta player from behind and sent him tumbling to the court. Again, the teams bowed up, but Evans merely flashed a disgusted stare at Wade — who was called for a flagrant foul — before getting up to shoot his free throws.
Zaza Pachulia, coming off a 12-point, 18-rebound effort in Atlanta's Game 4 win in Miami, caught Jermaine O'Neal in the face with an elbow while driving to the hoop.
O'Neal crumbled to the court, then got up to deliver a shot across Pachulia's head the next time he ventured into the lane.
Pachulia, already sporting a black eye from a shot he took in an earlier game, certainly looked the part for this game.
Josh Smith dunked his way to 20 points for the Hawks and even hit a rare 3-pointer. The Hawks also pounded the boards, outrebounding the Heat 37-29.
"We're not going to let anybody beat up on us anymore," Bibby said at halftime.
Wade didn't get much help from his teammates. Michael Beasley had 18 points and O'Neal 14.

Commissioner announces suspension after Dwight Howard elbows Sixers center in the face

Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard (left) comes over to speak with official Joe Crawford after he was called with a technical foul for hitting Philadelphia 76ers center Samuel Dalembert (center), of Haiti, with an elbow during the first quarter of a first-round NBA playoff basketball game on Tuesday in Orlando, Fla. The NBA announced on Wednesday Howard would be suspended for Game 6 against the 76ers.
Howard has been suspended for Game 6 of the Magic's playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers for his elbow on Sixers center Samuel Dalembert, the NBA announced Wednesday.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Dwight Howard's elbow has given the Orlando Magic's playoff hopes a major hit.
The two got tangled up going for a rebound in the first quarter in Game 5 on Tuesday night. Replays showed Howard threw an elbow that hit Dalembert above the shoulders. Howard drew a technical foul for the hit.
"We're there to protect the players. If you throw a punch, you're gone."
"The whole idea is to make sure that these very large athletes playing in a relatively small place at high speeds with great power don't do harm to each other."
NBA commissioner David Stern, who was in Orlando on Tuesday, said Wednesday in Atlanta prior to the Hawks-Miami Heat game that Howard's suspension was not only for a rule violation, but for safety precautions.
"The Dwight Howard suspension tells you the players are capable of hurting each other," Stern said. "We're there to protect the players. If you throw a punch, you're gone. If you throw an elbow above the shoulder, you're gone.

They saw the elbow thrown but they couldn't determine whether or not the elbow actually made contact with Dalembert, Jackson said. "This was an elbow that was thrown that made contact above the shoulders and by rule there's an automatic suspension."
Orlando will also be without starting guard Courtney Lee, who suffered a fractured sinus after taking an inadvertent elbow to the head from Howard later in the quarter. Lee's status for the

"Dwight Howard had a great game, and he's a great player, but he just lives in the 3-second lane on offense and defense." DiLeo said. "I'm just saying he's standing in the 3-second lane on offense and defense. He's a great player, and he doesn't need any advantages."
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy heard DiLeo's remarks, took the podium and defended his star center by mocking DiLeo.
Howard's elbow on Dalembert in Game 5 set off a wild coaching exchange afterward.
Stu Jackson, the NBA's executive vice president of basketball operations, said Howard would have been ejected from the game if any of the referees saw him make contact with his target. Jackson said the contact was clear cut on replay.
DWIGHT HOWARD Orlando Magic center

"I guess that's the only reason Dwight's having success in this series. It has nothing to do with the fact that he's good."

Greinke collects fifth win
Billy Butler chips in two home runs as Royals defeat Blue Jays 11-3
BY DOUG TUCKER Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Zack Greinke gave up an earned run for the first time in 43 innings, but Billy Butler backed him up with two homers and the Kansas City Royals had 11 extra-base hits in an 11-3 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night.
Vernon Wells' RBI single with two outs in the first produced the first earned run off Greinke (5-0) since last September, a span of six starts. After throwing complete game shutouts his two previous starts, Grienke went seven innings, allowing five hits and two runs with two walks and eight strikeouts. He leads the AL with 44 strikeouts.
His ERA climbed from 0.00 to 0.50.
Butler, hitting .193 when the game began, was 4 for 4 with two homers, a double, four RBIs and four runs scored. He homered, doubled and homered in three at-bats off left-hander Brian Tallet (1-1), who was charged with 10 runs on 11 hits in four-plus innings.
Besides Butler's two homers, the Royals had Mark Teahen's two-run shot, Mike Aviles' two-run triple, and seven doubles. The Royals had 15 hits in all.
Marco Scutaro doubled leading off against Greinke, the first pitcher in Royals history to post a 5-0
April. After Aaron Hill and Alex Rios struck out, Wells dropped an RBI single into right-center. Before that, the only run off Greinke this year was unearned, off a throwing error by shortstop Aviles.
He gave up another run in the third when Scutaro walked leading off and eventually scored from third on a double-play grounder. Greinke, whose 43 innings without an earned run are a club record, joined former Los Angeles Dodger great Fernando Valenzuela as the only pitchers since the early 1900s to not allow an earned run through their first four starts of a season.
Aviles also had one of the Royals' doubles while Coco Crisp had two doubles and scored twice.

Liberty Hall, the knots in my stomach became even tighter.
I was terrified enough about my date even before the date started. And when my date said he wanted to go see a movie at
The night started with me attempting to enter the Hall through the wrong doors. I was embarrassed and confused when the people on the other side of the door were pointing to the correct entrance. I guess my nerves got to me and common sense to look at the sign posted on the front of the doors went out the window.
editor's note
I had never been to Liberty Hall before, and I'm not a big fan of going to new places in already-tense situations.
The box office caught my attention next. It wasn't marred with the usual sterile-looking black on black at every corner and neatly placed little movie logos adorned with white movie times in san serif font. It was just a guy, without the typical brightly colored long-sleeved shirt and black pants of most theater employees, standing in the box office that was littered with random cut outs of photos with strategically placed mouth bubbles. The whole look created a warm feeling that is usually lost in the chilly environment of mega- and multiplexes.
When the employee handed us our tickets and said it was in the Little Theater, I confusingly looked at my date, expecting to be told a theater number. He led the way to the ironically massive stairs to the Little Theater. I have always wondered if there's some story behind the size of these stairs and what exactly they are made of.
On the way up the stairs, my date told me about the how the ceiling of the theater looks like a starry night sky. It lived up to my expectations. As I was fascinated with what was above me, nature called below me. I asked my date where the restroom was, and he did his best to explain simply where it was.
Let's just say I got lost—on the way there and the way back. But I came across some interesting nooks and crannies of the architecture during the journey.
I've seen many more movies since my first visit about two years ago. I'm not sure if it's the extra legroom or the architecture that keeps me coming back, but I enjoy being a witness to living history.
Check out Elliot's story on page 10 for stories about the history of Liberty Hall and how the architecture came to be.

Top 6 easy home repairs for less than $15

Socket sense: Finding out how to do easy fixes around the house can save money and you won't have to bother your landlord with petty household problems.

money and
Sink's leaking. Toilet won't stop running. Window screen's ripped. House is chilly. Floor's scratched. And the holes in the wall need a fixin'.
Ever find yourself talking like this about your place? Well, if so, don't fret. Two local hardware stores give tips on the top six home improvements for college students for under $15.
Drippy faucet
Can't sleep because of a constant drip down the hall? Depending on what is really wrong with the sink, it could cost just a lowly 30 cents. A drippy faucet is not only maddening but also runs up your water bill. The advice from one hardware store is not to replace the whole faucet, but rather look for easy fixes."Typically, it's just take it apart then put it back together," says Gregg Anderson at Ernst & Son hardware store, 826 Massachusetts Street. "There's no mystery to it. It's just an experience."
Anderson recommends turning the water off at the main source to the sink first. Then take the handles off. The problem could be the seats and springs under the handles, which cost a few bucks, or it could be a 30-cent washer.
Running toilet
If you flush your toilet and it keeps running for minutes afterward, you most likely need to replace the flapper. The flapper is a rubber piece in the tank on top of the toilet that seals water in or releases it down into the bowl. These cost less than five bucks and are a super easy fix. Take the top of the tank off, remove the chain from the old flapper, and put on the new one. If this doesn't do the trick, don't go overboard with the repairs. "Don't go too ambitious the first time out," Anderson says.
Ripped screen
Ever drank too much and locked yourself out only to kick the screen in on your bedroom window to get inside? Enjoy the summer breeze without the bugs getting inside. Window screens are cheap and easy to fix if you have the right tools. But for another six bucks in labor you could get your screen redone professionally. Cottin's Hardware & Rental, 1832 Massachusetts Street, rewires screens with a few days turnaround for $10 a pop.
Weather stripping
Does your house not retain hot or cool air very well? Anderson says having improperly sealed windows and doors is like cutting a four-inch-round hole in the side of your house. Weather stripping is self-adhesive and simple to put on. If you can put tape down in a straight line, you're set. Just make sure the surface you're putting it on is clean so that it will stick. Wipe off the surface with a rag before putting the stripping down. You place it where a door or window seals shut at the edges, base or top depending on the style. It doesn't cost much more than $5 to $10 for a roll.
Jonathan M. Currie
Damaged woodwork
Hardwood floors are easy to keep clean, but they're also easy to scratch. The easiest way to conceal scratches and nicks is to use a wax such as Briwax, which has pigments that match different kinds of woods. If you're not skilled at matching or knowing wood types or finishes, take a picture of the floor into a shop with you."Come into a local hardware store and ask for advice," says Linda Cottin, owner of Cottin's Hardware & Rental."Who you talk to will know several tricks." Briwax can camouflage nicks and dings in most any woodwork well, and the $15 for a can isn't much in comparison to your security deposit.
Hanging up your favorite work of art can make your house feel like a home, but what about the holes that it leaves behind? Anderson boils it down to two supplies: a $2 can of spackle and a $1 putty knife. Smear on the spackle, let it dry, then sand off the excess spackle and make it smooth. Then find matching paint.
Holes in walls
TO DO
1. Always check with your landlord before doing any work. Check your lease and figure out what parts of your place your landlord is obligated to keep up.
2. Pictures of what you need to fix are useful, especially when you don't know the name of what you need.
3. Electrical work is something to avoid. "If you mess up plumbing, you get wet; if you mess up electrical, you get dead." says Linda Cottin, owner of Cottin's Hardware & Rental.
4. Ask for help at local stores. You'll get the supplies you need on your first trip to the store.

[stagepresence] Stik Figa
John Westbrook Jr. doesn't use his legal name when he gets on stage. It doesn't have the pop or swagger of a standard rapper's alias. That's why, when Westbrook gets on stage, he is Stik Figa.
Westbrook didn't always go by that name."My first rap名 was Tomfoolery and that was just because I like to cut up. I'm a fool,"Westbrook says. Stik Figa stuck, though, because it was a way to keep him levelheaded.
"I was walking around without my shirt on and she (my mom) was giving me a hard time. She was like, 'You think you look cute. You think you look good and everything, and really you just look like a stick figure,'" Westbrook says.
Any concert is a fully social experience for fans, and Westbrook says he really tries to keep his performances in that level by interacting with
Westbrook is from Kentucky, and he tries to stay true to his Southern roots musically. He says his music is soulful and progressive with a similar feel to the music of UGK and Outdast.
Westbrook started rapping in high school. He says it was easy for him to become a rapper because he had always been a writer."I always had a writing background.I liked to write short stories," Westbrook says.

The skinny: Rapper Stk Figo got his name because his mom would always comment on how skinny he is.
fans. A performance is a conversation to him."Ya'll drinking; I'm talking."Westbrook says.
Westbrook has a new project coming out May 5. Mental Liberation is the collaborative CD that Westbrook is a part of and will be available on his MySpace at www.myspace.com/stikfiga.
Westbrook works a full-time job, but the plan is to eventually be solely a rapper. Right now, Westbrook will keep writing, because it comes so naturally for him, and looking for producers he wants to work with, because he isn't part of a label.

Right Between the Ears
STORYTELLERS
Right Between the Ears (RBTE) is a radio sketch comedy show on Kansas Public Radio that has been around since 1985. No, it doesn't fit the norm of sketch comedies on TV, but producer/writer Darrell Brogdon doesn't see that as a problem.
Contributed photo
Brogdon says being on radio is a benefit. "Television, and on the stage, you're limited by what you can visually create," Brogdon says. "Through radio, listeners can let their imaginations run wild. There are no limits."
**illustrated photo**
All ears:'Right Between the Ears' is a radio comedy show that uses current events for content.
Their content, though, is very contemporary. "It's topical stuff. It's really driven by what's happening in the news," Brogdon says.
Writing isn't an easy job. Brogdon says the group has to really work with the script after an initial copy is drafted."We read them, critique them and pick them apart." Brogdon says he writes the majority of the script as well.
RBTE will be doing a live performance at 8 p.m. Saturday at Liberty Hall. It normally does six live shows a year at Liberty Hall. Brogdon says audience members can take two types of
enjoyment from the show. It's a comedy show, so the audience members will get their laughs, but they can also enjoy the nuances of what it really takes to do a radio show. Tickets are about $30 for floor seats and $15 for balcony seats.

LIBERTY HALL
THE CLASS WENDY & LUCY
FOCUS FILM FEST
To those who know it well, it's hard to consider Liberty Hall simply a building. From the weathered plateaus of the wooden floor to the signature celestial artwork of its vaulted ceiling to the way the foyer is bathed in light as the sun sets over Lawrence,the venue's warmth and character come through even when empty. The walls have heard the performances and orations of thousands. The stage has played host to one of the most important days in people's lives, their wedding days. Over the years, paint, plaster, sheetrock and brick rose and fell, weathered and burned. The face of Liberty Hall has changed many times over its lifetime, but few know the whole story.
Walking around Liberty Hall, Rob Fitzgerald sees history. He walks past the wooden baseboards he nailed into place, by the doorframes he erected, over the marble floor he uncovered, and underneath the massive mural on the ceiling he watched unfold brushstroke by brushstroke. He looks at it all and nods at the landmark he helped build.
"There's such a good feeling here," he says.
Fitzgerald should know. For 14 of the past 22 years, he's worked in some capacity at Liberty Hall. He started as a video store clerk and projectionist in early 1987 and joined the remodeling crew that stripped the building down to its bare bones. Now the Hall's technical manager, Fitzgerald has come to love the building for what it means to him as well as what it means to Lawrence.
Liberty Hall was born of a fire. In 1856, the offices of The Herald of Freedom, the first pro-abolition newspaper to print in Kansas, burned to the ground, leaving only a charred shell on the northeast corner of Seventh and Massachusetts streets. The lot remained empty until Samuel Edwin Poole built the first incarnation of Liberty Hall later that year.
Starting a History
The Hall became a lightning rod for many

of downtown Lawrence changed as Liberty Hall watched
events in eastern Kansas and Lawrence: public debates, speeches, as well as town hall meetings. It wasn't until J.D. Bowersock converted the building into an opera house in 1882 that it took on the theater design it's known for today. From actual opera productions to performances by famous Vaudeville acts such as Al Jolson, the stage at the (renamed) Bowersock Opera House became home for the arts in Lawrence. It even played host to performances by notable citizens such as Forrest "Phog" Allen, who participated in the local Elk's Club's fundraising minstrel shows.
The biggest interruption in the Bowersock Opera House's 48-year run occurred in 1911 when the building burned to the ground. The building had to be completely redesigned and rebuilt. A similar setback came on September 20, 1886, when a fire ignited on the theatre's stage. However, instead of completely rebuilding the stage, contractors simply covered the remains with fresh wood. Strolling over the weathered floorboards of the current stage, Fitzgerald points to the cross-section revealed by a stairwell descending into the basement.
"You can still see where they built on top of the old stage," he says.
After the opera house went bankrupt and ran aground in 1930, the changing faces of the building became all the more apparent: from a Dickinson movie theater to the Jayhawker Theatre to a disco during the '70s to a punk rock club and even a short stint as a storage warehouse for the Hallmark company. Eventually, the building fell into obscurity.
Resurrecting the Legend
Then, in 1985, a rebirth. More than 100 years after a fire torched The Herald of Freedom, David Millstein, Susan Millstein and the late Charlie Oldfather bought Liberty Hall at a sheriff's sale to restore Liberty Hall to its former glory. Susan remembers walking into the building for the first time.
"It was a wreck," she says. "I remember walking up to where the bar is now and there was a piano sitting there with a shriveled cake on top of it. It hadn't been touched in a year."
Then, the rebuilding began. Fitzgerald was there for all of it. As part of the motley renovation crew, he helped to tear Liberty Hall apart from the bottom up. The crew replaced most everything from sheetrock to pipes to flooring. They laid palazzo-style tiling and tore down the black panels that covered the walls. And though Millstein was not there day to day, she watched the progress for months.
Fitzgerald says that the rebuild was a trying experience, but that the team was easy to motivate.
"It was a 'strip it down and build it back up' kind of job," she says. "It went from that total dark, void of life, to just lightting up."
But even in the rebuilding phase, the crew couldn't escape the building's history. While working to repair and update the video store bathroom, they discovered the stairwell blacks used to enter the theatre before it was fully integrated. For Susan, letting go of the Hall's storied past wasn't an option.
"It's a beautiful, historical community venue," she says. "It carries that history with it, but it can be anything."
"It was a labor of love," he says.
Playing Host
From the 30 or so weddings it hosts each year to the local events, such as the Victor Continental Show, to art house films, Liberty Hall has become a focal point for Lawrence culture and changes its face with every event. This concentration has even bled into KU life. The KU Law School's Pub Night has taken place in the Hall for the past 15 years. The event, a fundraiser to support Women in Law programs, includes silent and live auctions as well as performances by students and professors.
"It's been a great venue," says professor
'Everyone's played here'
Here's a list of some of the performers and speakers who have graced the stage at 644 Massachusetts Street.
Oscar Wilde, Forrest "Phog" Allen, Lewis Black, William Burroughs, Tracy Chapman, Counting Crows, Ani DiFranco, Eminem, Hanson, M.I.A., N.E.R.D., Willie Nelson, The Neville Brothers, The Police, Mickey Rooney, The Shins, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Spoon, Ike and Tina Turner, Rufus Wainwright, Wu-Tang Clan
"I've been brought to tears by many artists," he says, noting that it was a performance by punk rockers The Descendants he saw during college that tops the list of his favorites.
Richard Levy. Levy's band, The Moody Bluebooks, is a cover band composed of members of the law school faculty. Taking the stage under the lights at Liberty Hall, he says, is a surreal experience.
For Fitzgerald, it's the combination of the venue's mystiques and the talents of musicians that really affect him.
"We felt like rock stars."
Taking the Stage
Something Susan and Fitzgerald keep hearing is how much artists love playing in their house. After a recent concert, Joan Baez approached Susan to tell her how much she enjoyed playing in such an intimate venue.
It was a reserved seating concert, Susan notes, which Liberty Hall seldom schedules. But Baez just said how much she loved playing in such a cozy place.

onstage that wrote them an e-mail, requesting to play violin in homage to one of the venue's muses. Decades ago, a show by political rockers Rage Against the Machine saw concertgoers stage diving from the lip of the balcony. Though the staff never encourages such activities, the question stands: Why do people love playing here so much?
"The question's answered by standing in the spot," Fitzgerald says, looking out across the empty house from a perch on the stage.
Back in her office, Susan says that, unlike musicians, she prefers to sit in the balcony completely alone, soaking in the atmosphere as much as she can. But as much as she loves sitting in the back, Susan is quick to remind herself how close it all came to never happening.
"It just couldn't have been done without the Oldfathers," she says. "Thanks to Charlie, financing was covered."
Over the years, of course, common wear and tear necessitated fresh coats of paint or new equipment. The owners recently installed a new sound system to accommodate the needs of moviegoers and concert attendees. Some might see these alterations as an attempt to give Liberty Hall a facelift. For Susan, however, the reasoning goes deeper.
"We brought it back into use for the whole community," she says. "Our hope is to fortify the building so that we'll leave it better than we found it."
About the Art
Though there are a slew of artistic facets of Liberty Hall, by far the most dominant is the mural adorning the ceiling of the building's main hall. The piece, entitled "Starry Way," depicts a celestial seascape on which two figures, muses appear. The first, which appears to the left side of the stage, is swathed in an iridescent green dress and is playing a violin. Shooting stars and comets obscure the second figure, located on the right, as he or she manipulates what appear to be the hands of a giant lunar clock. The expanse above the stage and between the
two figures looks as if the ceiling of the venue is falling away to reveal the heavens. The mural reaches so high to the ceiling that parts of it were painted by broom as the artists stood on massive scaffolding.
The piece is just one part of the overall grand designed conceived of by muralist Dennis Helm and completed by Helm, Dalton Howard, Clare Tucker Bell, and Tamara Brown. As Susan Millstein recalls, her husband, David, chose to let Helm take control.
"(David) really left it in Dennis Helm's hands," she says. "He had the grand vision."
In his essay, "Sea Above, Sea Below," Helm described (before his death) the overall impact he had hoped for from "Starry Way."

"Herein," he writes, "One is invited to move through a corridor of stars, past comets and endless nebulae, into the depths of space. Surely this is the image of the greatest ocean of all."
Tracing the Early History
Tracing the Early History 1854 to 1856: The Herald of Freedom One of a handful of abolitionist papers being published in Lawrence at the time. The Herald of Freedom burned to the ground a mere two years after setting up shop at the corner of Seventh and Massachusetts streets.
1882: J.D. Bowersock buys the Hall — Developer Bowersock buys the Hall out of bankruptcy in hopes of converting it into Lawrence's first opera house.
1856: Liberty Hall opens — Though it would eventually become a theater, the original Liberty Hall was an open room designed for community meetings and events.
1925: Chaney brings a scare — The Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney, the man of a thousand faces, premieres in Lawrence.
1896: The fire — A fire torches the stage of the Bowersock Opera House. It did not ruin the rest of the building, however. The same fly rails used to light the stage remain hanging in the wings to this day.
1947: Jolson croons, Lawrence swoons The Jazz Singer star Al Jolson appears in Spring 1947 to perform at the Bowersock Opera House.The return performance was his first in Lawrence after canceling a show in 1921.

"Sometimes people lose sight of the overall picture," says Nancy O'Connor, director of education and outreach at the Community Mercantile."A great example is low-fat potato chips.They are a bad trick for your mind.People buy and eat as many as they want and seem to forget they add up, too."
According to studies conducted by the Journal of Marketing Research, low-fat food labels lead consumers to overeat because the consumers' guilt is decreased when they think they are eating low-fat foods.
Good for you Bad for you
Also, fat is an extremely crucial part of a healthy balanced diet, O'Connor says. You do not want to get rid of fat because it provides satisfaction for our body. Low-fat foods cause people to crave more because they are not satisfied.
However, when it comes to dairy products, such as cheese, milk or yogurt, O'Connor does recommend choosing low-fat brands.
From 100-calorie packs to low-fat potato chips, people are always looking for a guilt-free way to enjoy the snacks they love; however, these "guilt-free" pleasures are not the best way to lose or maintain weight.
"There is a place for low fat, like in dairy products;" O'Connor says. "Those are

reasonable substitutions. The places we mostly go awry are snack foods like cookies and chips. How can something that has no nutritional value really be satisfying if it is low in fat?"
For a healthier and more satisfying substitute to low-fat snacks, O'Connor recommends whole-grain crackers with cheese or peanut butter, or a small piece of regular dark chocolate.
VERDICT: Other than dairy, BAD FOR YOU

Good for you Doodling ad for you
As class gets dull, you draw flowers, the head in front of you, your teacher, or trace words on a textbook. This mindless act, doodling, might actually improve your concentration.
When bored in class, you may daydream, which can distract you from class. Doodling, though, can reduce daydreaming and keep you concentrated, according to a recent study conducted by Jackie Andrade, researcher at the University of Plymouth in southern England. The study suggests people perform a task better when they don't daydream, and doodling itself is less distracting than daydreaming. Simple visual tasks, such as doodling, also block mental imagery that is unrelated to the task, says Andrade, who studies cognitive psychology.
Twiddling a pen might have a similar effect in reducing daydreaming, Andrade says, though text messaging does not help people pay attention because texting involves verbal processing.
Regardless of her study, Andrade suggests trying another way to concentrate on class.

"Find ways to make it interesting," she says. "Think how it links with material from other modules, or with real-life situations. Doodling is a last resort."

How We Met
On his bed and wearing only his underwear one cold February night, Zach Stites was introduced to his future boyfriend, Andrew Herndon. Zach's roommate wanted to set up a chance meeting between Andrew and Zach, which involved Andrew unknowingly walking in while Zach was in bed in just his skivvies. And Andrew wanted to see more of that.

The day after the awkward yet promising encounter between Andrew, Kansas City, Kansas, freshman, and Zach, Lawrence freshman, the two met up and watched Garden State. Marshall, Zach's roommate, continues to walk in on the two almost every day. However, he has now learned that knocking before entering is the best solution.
Zach and Andrew have recently started designating Sundays as cuddle days. Playing copious amounts of Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart take up a lot of their Sunday cuddle day, and both say it's the most enjoyable day of the week.
It took Andrew's parents about a month of cooling down to really accept his relationship

with Zach. Andrew says his parents like Zach, although sometimes they are hard to read. After meeting Andrew, Zach says, his mom said if things didn't work out between the two, she'd date him. "I think she loves him more than me," Zach says.
Their relationship is simple, and it does not take a lot for these two to be happy. Being with each other is what both say makes them the most content." Each day I look forward to seeing him smile," Andrew says.
"You can see why I like him," Zach responds.

Bitch& MOAN
with Carly Halvorson and Elliot Kort
arila.baza
I've been dating this guy for just over a month. I like him a lot, and I might even be falling for him. But he's pushing way too hard emotionally ... talking to me about how I could be 'the one.' Should I jump ship?
Stacey, sophomore
Carly: Stacey, I wish I could find you and tell you this as soon as possible—get the hell out. You may think I'm being too harsh, but I really hope you take my advice on this. I know from personal experience that a relationship that starts off like what you just described is bad news, and here's why, Every relationship has a "honeymoon phase." You and your boyfriend have been together for just more than a month--you're still in that phase. Odds are that you haven't had a major fight yet. I think that first fight is really important, because then you get to know even more about the person and it puts your emotions in check.
Also, a guy who gets that emotionally involved after such a short period is going to be really insecure and get jealous easily. I don't want to get all Freudian here, but there's some kind of need for love that wasn't met in his life. Don't be the one to fill the void. Get out. Now.
Elliot: Stacey, it was a valiant effort. You got to know this guy well, had some fun, and I applaud you for that. But Carly's right. You need to abandon ship now. This guy's trying to hook you soon and get you utterly ensnared in this relationship to the point that you can't escape. 'The one?' After four weeks? That's alarming to me, and I haven't even met this guy! I'm not saying you didn't connect. And I'm not saying that your affection is false. But to hear you talk about it, it sounds as if his concept of your relationship is unrealistic and potentially unhealthy. Cut your ties.

Chris, senior
She's everything a good man wants: intelligent, friendly, hard-working and healthy. She even has fashion and flirting smarts. But sexually, I'm just not attracted to her. Mostly because she's not pretty. I know that's a really shallow reason, and I feel guilty about it. I know she likes me, and I feel horrible about turning her down for something she can't control. What to do?
Carly: First of all—stop flirting with her, no matter how 'smart' she is when it comes to flirting. It sends a mixed signal, and it will get you in even more trouble. I think an important thing to do at this point would be to set the record straight. It seems she could have easily taken you flirting with her as an indication that you're interested. Give her the opportunity to find someone who likes everything about her.
Don't get me wrong; just because you're not physically attracted to someone doesn't mean you're shallow. I think this is really similar to a question we had earlier in the semester, so I'll repeat the basic message: You need sexual chemistry. If you're not attracted to her, it won't be there and you'll find your relationship is lacking. I find it really frustrating that there's a stigma against not being attracted to someone. So what? Why can't we be allowed to find someone with whom we have a good connection—emotionally and physically?
Elliot: Chris, you're not just shallow. You're also a jackass. Stringing this girl along is utterly deplorable. You should be ashamed of yourself. So you complimented her a few times in your letter. Big deal. You're leading her along and that's dishonest. Sure, it's nice to be the one being pursued. You're dotted upon, fawned over, and generally get constant ego boosts. But unless you stop leading her on right here and now, you're the kind of guy every girl hates and loves to detest vocally. I'm sorry if I seem harsh, but I don't mind bringing you back down to earth. You have nothing, NOTHING, to complain about. Like Carly suggests, set the record straight. Let her know the score. Then all you can do is hope she forgives you (when you apologize, that is) for how utterly crass you've been.

VIDEO GAME: The Chroniles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
Remember the movies Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick? Well, Vin Diesel is back in the second addition to The Chronicles of Riddick video game series. This game is pretty intriguing. Though there is a variety of guns, the majority of the fighting is one-on-one combat. Riddick is also given the ability to interact with characters throughout the game.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena picks up where Escape from Butcher Bay left off. The gamer still plays as Richard Riddick, a highly desired fugitive by many who has the advantage of the night. While in a deep-space sleep, Riddick's ship is captured by the Dark Athena, a merchant vessel. His companion, Johns, is taken on board. Riddick, with the use of his stealth tactics, must find a way off the ship before the automated drones find him first.
An interesting aspect of this game is that the gamer does not have to utilize a single gun throughout the game.The one-on-one combat is both effective and fun.Riddick uses a variety of combat tools, such as a club, a hairpin and the Ulaks.The spurts of blood caused by these tools are a nice, little extra.
Another appealing aspect is the ability of the gamer to interact with various characters throughout the game. Some prove to be absolutely useless but others provide

MOVIE: Earth
Disneynature, Disney's new branch, released its first film: Earth.
Earth is the story of three animal families trying to survive on our planet. Polar bears' blue whales' and elephants' stories grace the screen in this most natural of dramas.
Think the BBC's Planet Earth series on the big screen, with the booming voice of James Earl Jones telling the story.
Jones is perfect for the task; his smooth and distinct voice makes the images all that more incredible. Who would you rather have explain the circle of life than Mufasa himself?
Strewn between the adventures of the three families are mini stories of several different animals. Just try to hold your jaw from hitting the floor when something as simple as duck flying lessons appear on screen.
Though the movie is from Disney, there are plenty of dramatic elements. Animals are pursued by predators, and yes, there are a couple of deaths. But the amazing resilience of nature is shown in all of its glory.
The movie takes you across the globe.Shots and scenes you never thought possible are shown in amazing clarity.This movie is almost

MUSIC: Fork in the Road by Neil Young
At age 64, Canadian rock legend Neil Young has definitely still got it. His latest release, Fork in the Road, is a concept album about the energy crisis and the need for fuel-efficient cars.
The idea sounds a little strange, but in reality, the music is phenomenal. Deep, grungy and distorted guitar fills the album with classic Neil Young sound and leaves listeners with a familiar feeling similar to Young's classic tunes.
Young's vocals are perfect, too. The aging process hasn't affected the rock legend's expressive voice at all.The lyrics on the album are centered on the theme of fuel-efficiency Young incorporates classic blues rhythms and jam-oriented song structure that mesh the music and lyrics nicely. The album would be ideal for a road trip—possibly Young's hidden motive.
At one point,Young sings,"Just singing a song won't change the world," and urges listeners to take action. The progressive lyrics and strong liberal message don't come off too aggressively, and overall they are well written and insightful.

Taming the green-eyed monster
Learning to deal with my jealousy gave me a new appreciation of my own good fortune
By Madeline Hyden mhyden@kansan.com
We sat in the shade under the rickety slide on the playground during recess. My friends and I waited patiently for our friend Stephanie to show us a birthday present from her grandma. She dug around in her pocket and pulled out a glittery purple keychain with her name engraved on the front. In my seven years, I had never seen anything so beautiful. Her name was spelled out in cursive that I had yet to learn how to write and the shiny purple color seemed to glisten in the afternoon sun. All of the girls "oohed" and "ahhed" at her gift and Stephanie even let us pass it around to get a closer look. But moments later my awe disappeared and rage washed over me. My stomach dropped, my heart rate increased and my fists tightened. I wanted that keychain.
My thoughts spun with fury:"Why does she have that keychain and I don't?!!" I stood up off the gravel and marched toward the school. The thought of Stephanie getting all of those compliments was just too much for me. I couldn't possibly be friends with someone like that, I thought, and I didn't talk to her for the rest of the school year.
Most of my life, I've struggled with jealousy. My parents tell me it stems from being an only child. I was showered with all the praise, toys and attention my entire life; I never had to fight with siblings over the TV or the bathroom and I never competed for my parents' time or attention. I never had to learn to share. Everything I wanted was given to me, and if someone else had something I didn't, I couldn't bear to be without it.
Through middle school and high school, my reasons for jealousy evolved past glittery keychains but never went away. I got jealous of people's clothing, their hairstyles and their facial features. I got jealous of the way people talked, the way they walked, and how they carried themselves. I got jealous of jobs I didn't have, grades I couldn't achieve, and relationships I wasn't in. The familiar feeling of anger and resentment would creep inside of me when someone had something I didn't. Nothing of mine ever seemed good enough and I found myself excluding others from my life because of how jealous I was of them. Stephanie wasn't the first; I alienated people left and right throughout my adolescence because of petty
things like an outfit or a better grade on a science fair project.
Boys took my jealousy issues to a whole new, painfully tragic and infuriating level. My sophomore year of college I dated a guy who was emotionally unavailable and apt at infidelity. After a year, he ended our tumultuous onagain, off-again relationship to be with another girl. The three of us worked together, so the thing I wanted the most but couldn't have was displayed in front of me during every shift. The jealousy I felt at work was so overwhelming that my knees would tremble and my breath would catch in my throat every time I saw them smile at each other. The situation hit an all-time low when I decided to, in a fit of masochism, drive to his house in the middle of the night to see if she were over there. After seeing her car in his driveway, I turned around
and drove home with a heavy heart. I didn't feel better, I didn't feel accomplished, and I didn't feel any less jealous. I realized in that moment that there was nothing I could do to take the jealousy away this time. That girl had the guy I wanted and no matter what I did, no matter what I said, and no matter how hard I tried to alienate them from my life, he wanted to be with her and not me.
I was ashamed that I had caved to another fit of jealousy. I had always hidden my feelings inside, but hiding in my car, trying to peer through this guy's window, made me feel lower than low. I felt so disappointed with myself that after that night I forced myself out of my jealousy. I halted jealous thoughts before they had time to affect my actions, I removed myself from situations that would put me into a jealous rage, and most importantly, learned to
just be happy for people and to be happy with what I have. Constantly wanting what others have is exhausting and I've wasted too much time worrying about what my life was lacking. It pains me to think of all of the great friends I could have made, or friendships I could have sustained, if I would have just let go of the jealousy I felt.
I can't say that I don't still get that familiar stomach drop or feeling of resentment when I hear about someone getting an internship I want or hearing a teacher give a better comment to fellow classmate. But I don't let it control my life or my actions anymore. I force myself to think only about what I am able to attain and to focus on not letting myself get caught up in wanting something more or something unattainable. My sanity is worth more than a glittery purple keychain.
At the age of 7, Modeline ended a friendship after becoming jealous of her friend's purple keychain, a birthday present. Even though jealousy still affects her at times, Modeline has taken steps to keep it from ruling her life and relationships.
