Student spurs local support for Haiti relief
BY ANNIE VANGSNES anniev@kansan.com
The line stretched out the door of Liberty Hall last night as approximately 400 community members filed in to raise money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. And it all stemmed from a tweet.
ACTION PICTURES
"I just tweeted 'Hey I'm thinking about doing something, maybe a benefit down at Liberty Hall, is anyone interested?'" said Josh Anderson, a senior from Perry. "I got a couple of really positive responses and then after that there was no stopping it."
Within 24 hours Anderson's friend, Nini Negash, a 1996 KU graduate, offered to help organize the event and a local business offered to donate food. Within two weeks, roughly 30 local businesses and community members helped sponsor the event and another 30 businesses donated items and gift certificates for a silent auction. Negash said the item she was most excited about was a basketball signed by Bill Self. Restaurants including Genovese, La Parilla, Zen Zero and Global Café donated food, while 23rd Street Brewery and Free State Brewery provided funding. Liberty Hall also hosted the event for free.

"I think it's really impressive they got so many local companies to donate," Pollmiller said. "It's cool to come out here and show our support and encourage things like this to keep happening around the community."
Anderson said the community was extremely supportive from the beginning. He said he barely had to finish his sentence when asking the performers to help.

"All I did was ask a question," Anderson said. "Hey, do people want to help? And the answer has been a resounding 'yes.'"
The Public Relations Student Society of America, Ad Club and Society of Professional Journalists will be collecting donations in Stauffer-Flint Hall on Feb. 3 and 4 and in the Kansas Union on Feb. 5. The money will be used to make health kits to send to Haiti.

Change coming for bus routes
BY ALEESE KOPF
akopf@kansan.com
Come next August KU students and Lawrence residents may be facing some significant route changes to KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit Systems. The proposed changes, based on ridership studies and public input, are meant to make the systems as effective as possible for students and the community. With the merger of both departments in August 2009, the two systems began to coordinate routes, erase boundaries and make joint decisions.
The city and the University held a series of public meetings this week for riders to voice opinions and leave suggestions for improving the quality of service.
Mitch Knopp, Student Senate treasurer and member of the KU Transit Commission, said the coordinated system is much easier for students, though it still needs some work.
"One of the biggest challenges that the system faces is leaving behind too many students because the bus is so full," said Knopp, a senior from Manhattan. "I think it's a good problem to have, but it certainly needs to be minimized as best as possible."
Abhijit Mehta, a second year graduate student from Pune, India, rides route 26 to campus daily. He said he was much happier with the route before the two systems merged.
"It used to take me 15 minutes to get to campus and now it takes 25 minutes with the new system," Mehta said.
He said the route changed with the merger and the bus is now usually full at 10 a.m. when he rides to class. He said future changes that would make the system faster and less crowded would be a major improvement.
Nugent said ridership on the merged system has increased, but not dramatically. However, data collected monthly from the city indicates that riders using student IDs have been riding city buses more since the coordinated system began last August. In August of last year, 22,855 students used city buses while a month later ridership had increased to 38,241. By November that number had decreased to 32,225, but that's still significantly higher than when the system began.
KU on Wheels has been working with the Kansas City consulting firm Olsson Associates to help identify inefficiencies and possible improvements in the system.

Chicken dodges cars, eludes captors in city
GLENDALE, Calif. — A chicken playing chicken? That's what's happening on a busy Glendale street where a black hen has been dodging cars, captors and coyotes for two months. Officials say the bird has been darting into traffic outside Glendale Community College since it was first reported Nov. 20. The chicken has drawn a growing crowd of photographers and journalists as animal control officers
struggle to catch it.
A spokeswoman for the Pasadena Humane Society, which handles animal control in Glendale, said the bird either runs onto the street or flies into a tree when officers approach. Hillary Gatlin said a humane trap has not worked because the chicken doesn't weigh enough to trigger it or she isn't interested in the feed used as bait.
Gatlin said the standoff could continue awhile.

Scanning provides free, eco-friendly alternative
BY SAMANTHA FOSTER
Alessandra Stellino, a freshman from Quincy, Ill., scans pages from a magazine using the BookEye copy machine in Watson Library. More students are using the free scanners on campus and transferring material to home computers, rather than paying to make photocopies and print in the library.
sfoster@kansan.com
More students are quitting the copier, avoiding the cost to themselves and the environment.
Scanning has become a popular and eco-friendly alternative to making copies because students can e-mail scanned material to themselves or save it to a disk for free.
Jeromy Horkman, a service desk supervisor at Watson Library, said the scanners were popular because they were free, as opposed to photocopies, which cost eight cents with a KU card and 10 cents with cash.
"We've definitely seen an upswing in the use of the Easy Scan as opposed to photocopiers," Horkman said.
Youyang Xu, a sophomore from Beijing, said she used the scanner because she didn't have time to buy
the textbook she needed for class.
"I have homework to read for tomorrow so I'm scanning it," she said.
KU Libraries installed the first set of scanners about a year ago with funding from the Parents' Campaign managed by the University of Kansas Endowment Association. Smith said the scanners cost about $20,000 each.
Watson Library,AnschutzLibrary and the Art and Architecture Library each received one scanner. Smith said KU Libraries were eventually planning to purchase scanners for Spahr Engineering Library, the music and Dance Library, as well as additional scanners for Watson and Anschutz libraries.
Smith said the scanners were an improvement from photocopiers because they were gentle on books and helped save paper.
"You can get what you need quickly, you can get a high-quality
scan and you're not bogged down with paper or the expense of printing." Rebecca Smith, spokeswoman for KU Libraries, said.
Sarah McLain, a sophomore from Kansas City, and Anschutz Library employee, said she usually saw five or six people using the scanner during one of her three-hour shifts. She said students usually used the scanner to copy textbook pages or their classmates' notes.
"It's cheaper for them to just scan it and e-mail it to themselves," McLain said.
Horkman said the scanner at Watson was especially busy between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and could have two or three people waiting to use it during peak hours.
"It's been very popular." Horkman said.

PROPOSED CHANGES
Route 26
Route 26 is currently over capacity because of the several large apartment complexes it serves. Right now the route goes from 25th and Melrose to campus by way of 24th street, Naismith and 21st street. The proposed changes suggest continuing from 24th Street anti Ousdahl Road to 21st Street, thereby avoiding Naismith. The modification is meant to decrease pressure on the route that usually fills up with students before the bus even reaches Naismith.
No changes are expected in the frequency of service.
Route 5
Currently this route serves as a cross-town connector linking Wakarusa to the East Hills Business Center just outside of town. Proposed changes involve breaking the route into an east and west route, with the west route including all of Wakarusa Drive. The route would also serve at a 60-minute frequency instead of 40 minutes.
Based on the recommendations, this would be a new route created to assume the southern portion of the current route 6 running from 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive to the KU campus via Bob Billings Parkway. The new route would maintain route 6's 60 minute frequency.
Route 12

The changes will not affect the transit system's operating budget, which comes from a previous sales tax vote. Nugent said the recommendations are based primarily on ridership, public input and overall route evaluations. He said the continued coordination between the
changes in eight of the current 16 routes. Nugent said route changes will affect student transportation. The most significant changes will be the addition of route 12 and tweaks that will improve quality of service to routes 26 and five.
two systems is a long and working process that takes patience and skill.
Nugent said the city is always open to suggestions on how to improve services on the bus systems. No final decisions will be made until August.
"It's a mind game." Nugent said. "There's an art to it as well."
"Everything is on the table and everything can be off the table just the same," Nugent said.
POLITICS
Alaska changes code of ethics after Palin
JUNEAU, Alaska — The fallout from Sarah Palin's hasty retreat as governor is being cleaned up by the man she appointed attorney general in her final days in office.
Edited by Ashley Montgomery
Attorney General Dan Sullivan has proposed broad changes to Alaska's ethics rules that Palin complained helped drive her out.
Sullivan's proposals are on track to take effect after a review of public comments unless the legislature passes superseding law. The prospects for that happening — in an election year,
with many Alaskans worried about job losses and energy prices — appear dim.
"I think a lot of these issues ... would benefit from the passage of time, and likely are better issues for the (next) Legislature to take up," said Ramras, who often found himself at odds with Palin
None of Sullivan's proposals would retroactively benefit Palin, according to the state's ethics attorney. But they do speak directly to complaints raised during her tumultuous two-and-a-half years in office, and are aimed at clearing up gray areas and, according to Sullivan, discouraging abuse.
There is also a sense that some of this is simply cleaning
the slate of all Palin's issues.
Painted the probes financial and psychological toll as key in her decision to resign. Her legal bills have run into the hundreds of thousands. Disclosed costs incurred by the state have neared $370,000.
"You want to make political points against Sarah Palin? Hire a hall," said Rep. Mike Doogan, an Anchorage Democrat and former journalist. "Don't make the state of Alaska your soapbox. ... This is really about what's right here, for anybody who finds themselves in that situation."

EDITORIAL BOARD
Kansas legislature proposes much needed ban on texting while driving
Kansas officials met Tuesday to discuss the passing of an overdue and imperative state law to penalize Kansas drivers who choose to text while driving. This is an act that will keep streets safe from negligence.
According the "Hands Free Information" website, the law that took effect on the first of January and bans testing and e-mailing for drivers with a restricted license remains in full force.
Both the Kansas House and Senate proposed bills to extend the ban to all drivers, and failure to comply would result in a $100 fine. This bill, however, shouldn't be necessary for drivers to practice good streetsees.
Texting while driving may sound harmless at first, given that this generation has grown up with the development and mass-dispersal of technology. But it is only another impairment, an irresponsible habit that can cause damage. Kansas is not the first state to recognize this issue. Nineteen other states and the District of Columbia currently have similar laws in effect.
Strong supporters of a broader federal ban include Verizon Wireless and The Wireless Association—companies that agree drivers who text are substantially more likely to be involved in an accident
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, drivers are four times more likely to be involved in harmful accidents
In Kansas, drivers without restricted licenses who get into accidents because of text messaging are only subject to being ticketed for reckless or careless driving.
However, ticketing the use of cell phones as being reckless would be more difficult for law enforcement to prove without an existing rule as a binding reference.
A law regarding the use of cell phones would prevent car accidents, saving the lives of not only the victims, but also the offenders.
Many accidents are the result of negligent driving, leading to injuries or fatal consequences to passengers and other drivers and making those negligent drivers responsible for the lives or damages to others.
Exclusively banning messaging for restricted drivers makes the
habit appear to be something that has to be practiced and only performed by experienced drivers, similar to driving on the freeway or operating a manual transmission.
Texting while driving is not a skill to be rehearsed; it is a hazardous behavior that should be habitually avoided.
Regardless of state statute, Kansas drivers, especially teenagers and college students, should have the self-discipline to ignore their cell phones while driving.
If the state legislators are looking out for the best interest of Kansas' citizens, they should pass this bill.

ARE ALL OF THESE MOVIES IN 3-D?!
NOT THAT THEY'RE NOT COOL...
... BUT DOESN'T HOLLYWOOD UNDERSTAND THAT IT TAKES ALL KINDS?

3-D eliminates quality, art of films
You may know that a certain James Cameron directed movie not named "Titanic" swept through movie theaters last month, becoming the second most-grossing movie of all time with more than $500 billion in total global revenue.
That movie, "Avatar," is the latest pop culture phenomenon (an honorable mention goes out to "Jersey Shore," a program that shouldn't even deserve quotation marks). It recently won a Golden Globe for "Best Drama."
As 3-D viewing experiments are becoming the norm, television and movies are changing forever. But does commonplace 3-D movie viewing translate into a progressive movie experience?
That Guy
Until the arrival of 3-D movies, one of the qualities of a good movie was whether or not it made viewers feel like they were in the movie. For me, the sign a movie was good was if when the credits started to roll they brought me back to reality.
Everyone has talked about the film's stunning visuals and special effects. But, little has been said about the story development and dialogue.
When watching "The Shawshank Redemption" for the first time, I forgot where

was. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were talking to me as if I was standing next to them in the prison courtyard—just another day. It was one of those movies where thinking was required for the full experience. In other words, I wasn't paying $10 to watch giant robots based on Hasbro toys blow up one another for two hours.
Most everyone has fond memories of the violent fight scenes in "Fight Club"; certainly the inclusion of these scenes is what makes the movie such a popular one. But, has anyone ever stopped to think why the fight scenes stick out? It's because of the art in the storytelling.
When Edward Norton's character gives his famous "I am Jack..." narrations throughout the movie or Brad Pitt demonstrates the inner workings of movie reels, the scenarios are so bizarre that viewers can't help but think about the character, about the
The problem with standardizing 3-D in movies is that the one element of a good 2-D movie—when you find yourself "sitting" next to Morgan Freeman in the courtyard—is automatically commonplace. This is because, well, you really are in the movie.
story, about something. Thus, when you watch Pitt and Norton beat the hell out of each other, it means more to the movie.
The point here is not to call for the elimination of all genres except drama. I could talk about TPS Reports, Bond movies, or ask if anyone knows where Doug, from "The Hangover," is all day long; all genres have merit.
How will movies such as "Up in the Air", "Shawshank", or "Schindler's List" find a home in 3-D—a genre built for action—next to giant exploding robots? They can't.
The fact that the technology is even available to make a movie like "Avatar" is amazing in itself. But if 3-D, over-lade visual movies become the latest way to make money in Hollywood, expect to be stuck with less "Shawshank" and more "G-Force."

Anti-abortion group aims at the Kansas Supreme Court
W what do you do when one of your icons doesn't have the law
doesn't have the law on his side? Apparently, you try and change who interprets the law. At least, that is the page in the playbook of an antiabortion group, Kansans for Life. While protesting Roe v. Wade at the Kansas Judicial Center recently, the group announced it would campaign against Kansas Supreme Court Justice Carol Beier in her retention election later this year.
Why is this? Apparently Kansans for Life didn't like some recent rulings she handed down in hearings involving former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline. But, conservatives rallying against so-called "activist judges" are nothing new. People trying to oust judges in retention votes aren't new, either.
I spent a summer a few years ago interning at the Judicial Center. Occasionally, I got to read or hear stories when some fringe group or another had campaigned against a Supreme Court justice and failed miserably. I believe that none have succeeded at all in this state since the Supreme Court became an appointed, not elected, position.
We can argue all day about the merits of the rulings against Kline. What he did, regarding moving medical records subpoenaed from an abortion clinic in Wichita out of the possession of the Attorney General's office, did go against an order by the Supreme Court. This matter was settled about a year ago in the hearing that featured Beier's controversial ruling.
So, here we have the basis for the ruling, and why the majority opinion contained such harsh criticism. (Kline was described as showing "little, if any respect" for the court.) But, is this the way to fight for a cause? Coming to
Liberal Loudmouth
JAMES

the defense of somebody who has been an awful spokesman for a cause, and who hasn't been able to win public election on either state and county levels for the better part of a decade?
The members of Kansans for Life think it is, sadly. The group will fail, as well they should; but, they will continue on in their inane efforts to fight against reproductive choice, and we will be forced to watch it all.
Why then, if the effort is almost guaranteed to fail, is this news annoying? Kansans for Life is crossing a line when they go after the Judicial Branch in this way. The one non-partisan branch of government is that way for a reason, to make sure that nobody interpreting the law is beholden to the ideology of a fickle electorate.
By targeting Justice Beier, and threatening similar campaigns against other judges, Kansans for Life is trying to inject a fear of its far-right beliefs into the justice system. The statement it makes is to rule the way we want, not the way the law dictates, or suffer the consequences.
We can take solace in the likelihood that the group will fail. But if this level of ambition continues past the upcoming election, it is a given that we will be subjected to more such campaigns, for equally shoddy reasons.

Defense for Alito is purely political
I don't believe that United States Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito's critical reaction to last week's State of the Union address was particularly offensive, although the defense of Alito has offended me. The majority of his conservative peers have jumped to Alito's defense, but perhaps they should reconsider.
Let us assume that one of the two liberal women had reacted to a conservative president the way Alto reacted to a liberal one. I can hear what she would be called now: an over-emotional and sassy drama queen. Had it been one of the two liberal men, there would be cries of childishness, immaturity or sophomoric behavior.
Or worse, let us imagine that Obama had made a similar gesture to Alito or fellow Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia while they were presenting a law school lecture. Undoubtedly, Ann Coulter and Glenn Beck would be fighting to be the first to prey on negative stereotypes to
account for his actions.
The point is that those who most frequently criticize actions like Alito's find no irony in their current opposition to a page taken from their very own playbook.
The partisan criticism of Alito was that he abandoned decorum in order to criticize the president. The partisan response was that he is entitled to his reaction to a president who shouldn't have criticized him in the first place. Lest we forget, this whole debacle resulted from a mention of a recent landmark decision on campaign financing.
Yet, in discussions of the Obama-Alito feud, those words rarely, if ever, appear.
The fact of the matter is that those jumping to the defense of Alito have done so, not out of genuine concern, but rather out of political motivations. Partisans have put aside a critical and profound issue, instead opting for a senseless response to a senseless criticism that they would claim, if given the chance. Unfortunately, it's our loss.

Locals bring out plaid, haggis to raise money at Scottish Festival
Lawrencians with a little highlander in their blood
donned family tartans and followed bagpipe calls to a Haiti relief effort of their own. The Lawrence Arts Center hosted the 14th annual Scottish Festival Saturday night to raise money for earthquake victims.
The night began with a festival featuring Scottish foods and was followed by a 3-hour concert.
The Rev. Douglas Phenix, a Glasgow native, kicked off the event with a reminder of the contributions that Scottish people — other than William Wallace — have made on society.
The concert then featured performances by Uncle Dirtytoes, Highland Dancers and Forest Green before an intermission and ceremonial cutting of the haggis. Kansas City band Kelly finished things off with some contemporary Celtic Folk.
A DVD of last year's festival was released and is available along with more information at lawrencescots. org.

Scholarship hall events raise money for Haiti
Stephenson President Ben Tilman, a senior from Eudora, said the event started out as a small idea to use extra money from the hall's social fund to aid Haiti. But word spread quickly among the scholarship halls and Tilman said he now expects between 100 and 200 students to attend each night.
Stephenson Scholarship Hall will be filled with video game, board game and card game tournaments every night this week in an effort to help victims of the January Haiti earthquake.

Haitian government suspends adoptions
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Ten U.S. Baptists arrested trying to take 33 children out of earthquake-shattered Haiti say they were just trying to do the right thing, applying Christian principles to save Haitian children.
Prime Minister Max Bellerive told The Associated Press Sunday he was outraged by the group's "illegal trafficking of children" in a country long afflicted by the scourge and by foreign meddling.
But the hard reality on the ground in this desperately poor country — especially after the catastrophic Jan. 12 quake — is that some parents openly attest to their willingness to part with their children if it will mean a better life.
It was a sentiment expressed by all but one of some 20 Haitian parents interviewed at a tent
camp Sunday that teemed with children whose toys were hewn from garbage.
"Some parents I know have already given their children to foreigners," said Adonis Helman, 44. "I've been thinking how I will choose which one I may give — probably my youngest."
Haiti's overwhelmed government has halted all adoptions unless they were in motion before the quake amid fears that parentless or lost children are more vulnerable than ever to being seized and sold.
Without proper documents and concerted efforts to track down their parents, they could be forever separated from family members able and willing to care for them. Bellerive's personal authorization is now required for the departure of any child.

Collins makes big play late, leads Kansas to win
BY COREY THIBODEAUX

MANHATTAN — Combine the game-winning layup against Cornell and locker room return against Memphis, and you have Sherron Collins' latest masterpiece.
The heroes Collins showed in the second half and overtime of the 81-79 victory against Kansas State Saturday were good enough to win an award for "Best Drama."
"He has a flair for the dramatic," coach Bill Self said.
With sophomore forward Marcus Morris fouling out of the game and junior center Cole Aldrich trying to avoid the same fate in the game's final minutes, the Jayhawks needed their leader to take over.
But when Collins limped off the court late in the second half because of cramps, the layhawks were without their go-to man.
Collins returned to the game with about a minute left in overtime, and the jayhawks leading 77-76. Self drew the same play Collins used to topple Cornell earlier this season and it yielded the same result. He drove to the hoop, put up a wild shot and sank it while drawing the foul.
"Really, I was just trying to get fouled and get to the line, but it was open so I scored it," Collins said. "It felt good. Especially against K-State."
With 16 points and four assists, Collins said he tweaked his ankle at one point. But it was cramps from pregame warm-ups that caused him to leave the game.
"He's the best player in America to me," junior guard Brady
For the layhawks to win that game, they needed a player not only with the skill set, but the will to carry his team to victory in the most dire situations. Luckily, Collins is that type of player.
"I think I wasted too much energy just waiting on the game," Collins said. "Coach had to tell me in pregame to calm down."
Morningstar said, "He's huge for us in the clutch. When we need a score, we give the ball to him and he goes and does what I call 'makes money.'"
In the first half, the two best players were the starting big men. Aldrich had 18 points and 11 rebounds, but had to playless aggressively so he wouldn't foul out late in the game. Morris had 13 points
And like so many times before, Aldrich watched as his teammate took over in the waning minutes.
"If anybody,
I want Sherron
taking the shot",
he said, "I love
and that's how you grow up as a team?" he said.
Collins scored a total of 17 points in his previous two games, both blowouts. Looking back at Memphis, Cornell, Nebraska and Baylor, just to name a few games Collins took over in this year, he isn't surprising anybody at this point.
"He's huge for us in the clutch. When we need a score, we give the ball to him and does what I call 'makes money.'"
Sherron. We've been through so much and I've got all the confidence in him in the world."
"We need to learn how to play without a couple of our key players
shocked at all,"
To keep the game close when Collins sat out, the Jayhawks needed sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor's 12 points and Morningstar's 14. With three of their top four scorers laboring, Morningstar said the whole team had to step up.
BRADY MORNINGSTAR Junior guard
shocked at all",
Morningstar said,
"I see it in practice,

He's a ball player,

With No. 1
Kentucky losing earlier in the week and No. 2 Kansas toppling a No. 11 K-State team, the No. 1 ranking is most likely back with the lattwavas
But Collins said being two games up in the Big 12 means more at this point.
Playing the way they are right now, the layhawks have much loftier goals.

COMMENTARY
Taylor's triumph negates mistakes
MANHATTAN—A rowdy crowd filled Bramlage Coliseum, determined to solidify its fresh "Octagon of Doom" moniker. The hexagonal signs didn't help it catch on.
Thanks to Collins, we'll forget Taylor's great plays, though his bad plays will stick out among fans tired of Taylor's antics.
Windy City wonders Sherron Collins and Jacob Pullen both tried to upstage one each with momentum-shifting threes.
In overtime, Collins, struggling through cramps and hobbling through a turned ankle, hit a game winner that made Kirk Gibson smile somewhere.
And if it weren't for all that, Tyshawn Taylor's performance would have been the hot topic.
But outside of two mistakes, Taylor played great. If you don't believe me, believe Bill Self.

"We don't win the game without Tyshawn," Self said. "He had a couple of bad plays, but I thought he played really, really good. Really
well."
That's high praise coming from a coach that told the media Taylor didn't listen and talked too much. Taylor may still be in Self's doghouse, but Self knows Taylor is the piece that can make this team the definitive best in the country.
After stroking two free throws to give Kansas a three-point lead, Taylor swiped the ball from K-State's Denis Clemente to give Kansas the ball with under a minute left.
Let's look back at Taylor's maddening sequence of plays.

The freshman with a bandage over her left eye sprinted up the floor, demanded the ball and initiated change. With freshman forward Carolyn Davis, the Jayhawks can win on the road in the Big 12.
Kansas edged Missouri 61-59 in the final seconds with the emergence of Davis and improved to 13-7 with the Jayhawks' first Big 12 road win of the season.

Mizzou-Big Ten talk makes no sense
MORNING BREW
The term "expansion" has been thrown around college athletics the past 15 years. One of the conferences at the forefront in Division 1-A is the Big 10, which strangely enough has 11 teams (Thanks for the confusion Penn State). The Big 10's quest to enlarge itself has become a reality in the last six months as the Big "11" wants to become a dirty dozen. Teams it is considering include Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Notre Dame and Missouri. Yes, our rivals to the east are considering leaving the conference that made it who it is.
Since 1907, the Tigers from Columbia have been a part of the Big 12 in all its forms. It was originally known as the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association, then the Big Six, Big Seven and, lastly, the Big Eight. This potential disaster of a move is prompted by academics. Missouri's complaints of revenue sharing and threats to move to a conference where it feels it can compete are ridiculous. In other words, Mizzou is tired of dealing with the Texases and Oklahoma of the Big 12 and wants to deal with the Ohio States and Michigan of the world.
If Missouri goes through with this decision, they will have fallen into the trap of big-time athletics and will set tradition aside for a few spare dollars — though Missouri made $8.4 million on athletics alone in 2007-08, according to the Omaha World-Herald — but Missouri, go make

more money. Most people who want a Tiger trip to the Big "11" point out the fact that Missouri is tired of schools like Texas and Oklahoma that have a majority of the shared revenue and make more money off merchandise than the Tigers do. Hey Mizzou, it's called a fanbase. Get one.
With the potential Missouri defection, one of the nation's oldest rivalries would definitely be in jeopardy as the Jayhawks' yearly clash with the Tigers will be put in favor of the always sexy, made-for-TV matchup of Missouri and Iowa. The seeds of Missouri Athletics have been sowed in different forms of the Big 12. If Missouri chooses to leave, it will show that the school's hierarchy is willing to stiff arm tradition when a nice set of greenbacks is staring them in the face.
The biggest line in a set of excuses from the clowns — I mean pro-Big 10 Tiger faithful — is the benefit of academics. Yes, I will admit Missouri is a good

institution, but Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon
— also a Missouri alumnus — all but degraded Texas Tech and Oklahoma State by saying, "I'm not going to say anything bad about the Big 12, but when you compare Oklahoma State to Northwestern, when you compare Texas Tech to Wisconsin, I mean, you begin looking at educational possibilities that are worth looking at." The Big 12 has fine academic institutions, so don't look at your school and compare it to other institutions because they're all above Missouri in class and loyalty.
If Missouri wants to sell out and move to "greener pastures" then I'll help them move. I'll even call them a moving company. To take a quote from Shaq, "Send this to 'The Maneater' (Mizzou's Newspaper), big10mizzou.com." I don't care.

Hoyas get win against Blue Devils
ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Barack Obama attends his first Georgetown basketball game with Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday in Washington. The Hoyas rolled past the Blue Devils, 89-77. The Blue Devils shot just 37 percent for the game.
WASHINGTON — Chris Wright and Georgetown put on a show for the commander in chief.
With President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden seated in the front row, the No. 7 Hoyas stole the game from No. 8 Duke, forcing five turnovers in a two-minute, first-half spurt on the way to an 89-77 victory Saturday.
It couldn't have been a much bigger day for Georgetown: the president attending his first Hoyas game, the first sellout of the season in the 20,000-seat Verizon Center, a crowd mostly sporting "We Are Georgetown" T-shirts in a school-sponsored "gray out," the 200th win for coach John Thompson III, the launch of an initiative for Darfur schools, and, of course, a dominant program from the Atlantic Coast Conference in the building.
Wright seemed pumped for it all, scoring 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting and making two defensive plays that helped ignite an 18-3 run and gave the Hoyas the lead for good in the first half. Greg Monroe also scored 21, and Austin Freeman added 20 points for Georgetown (16-4), which shot 77 percent in the first half and 72 percent for the game.
Nolan Smith scored 19 points, Kyle Singler had 18 before fouling out with 2:10 to play, and Jon Scheyer added 17 for the Blue Devils (17-4), who shot 37 percent.
Duke committed 15 turnovers
The key first-halt sequence began when Wright blocked Smith from behind on an outside jump shot, then seconds later stole the ball from Smith under the basket. Then came turnovers by Miles Plumlee, Smith and two by Scheyer, including a charging call. Jerelle Benimon and Hollis Thompson each got a steal during the run, a needed boost from the thin Georgetown bench.
— one fewer than Georgetown — but they came in bunches in rare series of breakdowns from coach Mike Krzyzewski's team.
By the time it was over, Duke had gone nearly four minutes without a field goal, and Georgetown led 34-20.
Georgetown went 17 for 22 from the field in the first half and led 46-33 at the break.
The Blue Devils tried in vain to make a game of it in the second half. A pair of 3-pointers in the first couple minutes cut the lead to seven, but two more turnovers led to a 6-0 run and restored Georgetown's 13-point lead.
The Blue Devils cut the deficit to seven once more at 52-45, but Monroe stopped that momentum with a spin move in the paint and a big pump of the arm to celebrate. There were plenty of free throws from there in a game that had nearly as many fouls (52) as rebounds (54).

AFC wins Pro Bowl in new location
NFL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — In its new role as a warmup to the Super Bowl, the Pro Bowl became a series of wind sprints.
Long gains were the rule and hard hitting was the exception as the AFC beat the NFC 41-34 on Sunday night.
Light showers fell for much of the game, stirring memories of a rainy Super Bowl in Miami three years ago.
Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans threw for 189 yards and two AFC scores, and was chosen the most valuable player.
"This is a game you watch as a kid and you hope to be able to
play in," Schaub said.
Aaron Rodgers also threw two touchdown passes, and NFC teammate DeSean Jackson had two scoring catches.
Spectators included Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and other Pro Bowl players from the Super Bowl teams. Manning and the Indianapolis Colts will face Brees and the New Orleans Saints on the same field next Sunday in the biggest game of the season.
The NFL sought to transform the Pro Bowl into a bigger game by playing it before the Super Bowl for the first time. In a one-year experiment to Miami, the league also moved the game from Honolulu, its home since 1980.
The stadium was half empty by the third quarter, perhaps partly because of the rain and temperatures in the 60s. It was sunny and 82 in Honolulu at game time.
Nearly 40 percent of the players originally selected for the game didn't play. One of the AFC replacements, David Garrard, threw for 183 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown to Vincent Jackson.
"It's so awesome," Garrard said. "One of my goals coming into the game was to just be relevant and show all the people who said, 'What is he doing in there? The Pro Bowl has dropped off a few pegs,' that I do belong."

Baylor grabs overtime win

AUSTIN, Texas — Freshman guard A.J. Walton, a 47 percent free-throw shooter, made three of four foul shots in the final 17 seconds of overtime and No. 24 Baylor beat No. 6 Texas 80-77 on Saturday.
Baylor led 77-76 before Walton made the second of two free throws. Texas' Justin Mason made one of two before Walton got to the line again with 10 seconds left and calmly hit both.
Baylor (16-4, 3-3 Big 12) got its first regular-season win over Texas (18-3, 4-2) since 1998. Tweety Carter led the Bears with 27 points.
Texas had one last chance to tie it but Avery Bradley's 3-pointer bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
Texas rallied from 14 points down early in the second half. Damion James had 20 points and a career-high 19 rebounds for the Longhorns, but fouled out in the final minute of overtime.
Walton finished with 14 points behind 6-of-7 shooting on free throws. The Bears also scored 27 points off 18 turnovers.
Texas has lost three of four since reaching No.1 in the nation for the first time in school history.
The Longhorns could have used Walton's nerves at the line. One of the worst free-throw shooting teams in the country, Texas went 19 of 31 against the Bears.
Longhorns' best shooter, JCovan Brown (94 percent), would have given Texas a three-point lead with 16 seconds left in regulation.
Given that opportunity to tie it with a basket, Baylor sent the game into overtime when Ekpe Udoh shot an airball on a 3-pointer but Texas left Anthony Jones all alone underneath to snag the ball and drop in an uncontested layup with 0.3 seconds left.
Udoh, 0 for 11 from the field to that point, then made Baylor's first three baskets in overtime. He hit a soft hook over Dexter Pittman and converted an easy layup when he drove the lane through a group of
One of those misses, by the
Texas defenders.
Brown cut the lead with a 3-pointer, then turned the ball over, leading to Udoh's dunk.
Two free throws by Walton pushed the Baylor lead to 71-67. Udoh fouled out with 1:12 left and James got Texas to 75-73 with two free throws and a dunk after he stole the ball at midcourt from Carter.
Texas had won 24 in a row over Baylor before the Bears beat the Longhorns in the Big 12 tournament last season. For the Bears, Saturday's win was just the seventh in their last 51 conference road games.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Jimmy Butler's driving shot with 2.4 seconds left gave Marquette a 70-68 win over No. 19 Connecticut on
Butler finished with 21 points and Lazar Hayward scored 20 for the Golden Eagles, who won for the first time on the road this season.
Jerome Dyson had 18 points for the Huskies (13-8, 3-5), who have lost two straight after beating then-No. 1 Texas a week ago. Kemba Walker added 15 points and Stanley Robinson 13 for the hot-and-cold Huskies, who were blown out at Providence on Wednesday.

MANHATTAN — About 30 miles from Manhattan, on 1-70 in between Lawrence and Manhattan, there's a University of Kansas billboard. It used to read "Rock Chalk Jayhawk," but scrawled over it in white paint are four letters: "EMAW" short for "Every man a Wildcat," the new unofficial slogan of Kansas State athletes.
The billboard is a reflection of Wildcat fans' new attitude on their basketball team, that Kansas State is no longer a second-tier program in the state of Kansas.
"It's the sixth man," said Kansas State sophomore guard Jacob Pullen, who finished with a game-high 22 points. "It really affected them at times. They weren't able to call sets in time. The crowd did a great job for us. We just had to finish it out and we just weren't able to do that."

Marcus Morris checked back into the game with four fouls apiece.
When Marcus Morris picked up his fifth just a minute and 40 seconds later, it became imperative that Aldrich refrain from getting his, else he leave the team with just one post, Markieff Morris, sophomore center, with more than 20 games' experience.
"I knew I had to pick up the slack," Aldrich said. "I told Kieff, I go, 'You know, Kieff, we've got to make sure we get every board.' That's one thing Marcus really did a good job of tonight. He had nine in the first half. We just had to get to the boards and making sure that we moved our feet on defense, because we were both in foul trouble."
When the game went to overtime, Aldrich did just that. He never did pick up his fifth foul and, with nine seconds left and the Jayhawks clinging to a 3-point lead, pulled down one of the biggest offensive rebounds of his basketball career, essentially icing the Jayhawk win.
"Coach said walking back to the locker room." Aldrich said. "'The big fella's back.'"

It wasn't necessarily his most scintillating performance, but Collins was there when the team needed him most, as he is wont to be. He fought off a bout of cramps to hit, essentially, the game winning layup with nine seconds left. Collins shot 7-of-14 from the field for 16 points to go along with four assists.

PETER BANK
Henry played well when he did play, going 3-of-5 from the field for six points, to go along with four rebounds. He's not seeing any playing time, though. He played just 16 minutes today, eight of them in the first half, and just one of them in the overtime period. He'll have to minimize his turnover numbers – he had four turnovers against Kansas State - if he's going to get his minutes back.

1ST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY)
16:14 After Dominique Sutton gave K-State their first points of the game, Xavier Henry silenced the crowd driving to the hoop for a two-point lav-in. (4-2)
1:11-Sherron Collins would beat anyone in H.O.R.S.E if he could consistently pull off that falling out of bounds jumper. (31-27)
10:37 - After an odd series of ball juggling, Sherron Collins had a two-on-three and came out on top with an alley-oop to Tyshawn Taylor to tie the game back up. (14-14)
2ND HALF
17:37-Brady Morningstar looked like the star, continuing his outburst with a three to give the Jayhawks their largest lead at eight. (40-32)
15:04 Cole Aldrich made his first block of the game count, completely blasting Wally Judge's two-point shot back in his face. (42-34)
11:50- Sherron Collins stopped a 7-0 run by the Wildcats with a crowd-stifling jumper Jayhawks fans know so well. (45-42)
9:05-"I can be your hero, baby." Sherron Collins, who has been quiet all game, has decided to make his presence known with a three to quell a Wildcat storm. (48-49)

TAYLOR (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The fat lady prepared her parting song. Taylor would be one of many heroes.
A mere 18 seconds later, Taylor's ill-advised pass to Brady Morningstar led to a ridiculous game-tying three-point play by Rodney McGruder that I still wouldn't believe if I didn't see it happen 15 feet in front of me.

A fantastic hustle play by Tyrel Reed to knock the ball out of Dominique Sutton's hands at the buzer saved Tyshawn Taylor from infamy.
But there was still overtime.
But there was still overtime. On Kansas' first possession of the extra session, Taylor got hacked and made one of two freebies. Later, with his team down a point, the slashing guard flashed his NBA potential, hitting a layup after Sutton fouled him.
Suddenly, Taylor's turnover in
regulation didn't matter.
"I needed to come back and make up for it and I did, or as a team we did," Taylor said.
So long Goat.
With a minute left and the Jayhawks nursing a one-point lead, Taylor drove hard. A charge call gave K-State the ball back. If Clemente hit that three-pointer on the next possession, Taylor would have drawn the ire of the entire campus.
Then Sherron happened. Nothing else mattered.
So yes, Taylor made some mistakes. He also made plays. Plays that mattered. Plays That Self considered crucial enough to say the Jayhawks don't win without Taylor.
He will be a vital cog in the Kansas machine as it chugs its way to Indianapolis in April.

head leading into halftime.
Then McCray returned and used Davis' presence as a step to elevate her own performance.
When Davis wreaked havoc in the paint and attracted doubleteams, the Tigers had to shift their attention. That resulted in open shots for McCray, who finished with 19 points, hitting 7-of-13 shots and 4-of-7 from three-point range.
"I get frustrated when that first shot is not falling." McCray said. "I calmed down and let it come to me."
After each long range shot, McCray held her right hand far above her head and trotted backward. Each and every time, she knew when it was falling.
Davis' toughness and resiliency helped make those sinking shots that much easier for her sharpshooting teammate.
Late in the second half, Davis
rolled off a screen, slung her right arm in the air and demanded a pass. Seconds later she found herself on the ground after getting pummeled by 6-foot-3 Missouri forward Christine Flores.
Yet there was no wincing or requesting of a substitution. Just like her biggest fans on the bench who applauded her toughness, Davis sprang to her feet. She needed no replacement; just the next play.
"My screens were getting my teammates open," Davis said. "They were calling me."

The running serves as payment for the 22 turnovers - one short of a season high - committed in Kansas 61-59 victory at Missouri Saturday. Coincidentally, the Jayhawks also played the Tigers when they recorded a season-high 23 turnovers Jan. 17.
Despite victory, turnovers pile up
When practice rolls around Monday, screeches and sneaker scuffs will be commonplace in Kansas' practice facility as players run up and down the court.
"We were careless with some possessions, trying to make chicken salad out of chicken you-knowwhat." Henrickson said. "We made some bad decisions, but their pressure is good."
During their first outing against Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks shot 50 percent. Kansas followed that Border Showdown performance with another excellent shooting day Saturday, sinking 43 percent of its shots.
"We finally buckled down and played some defense," senior guard Sade Morris said. "When we turned the ball over, it was more us. We made the mistakes, but they had something to do with it."
"If you're not going to get more shots, you had better shoot it well," Henrickson said. "It becomes a possession game for us."
Yet in both games against Missouri, Kansas somehow found
a way to win. That generally boils down to the fact that the layhawks shot the ball extremely well while playing solid defense.
The majority of those games occurred after freshman guard Angel Goodrich went down on Jan. 12 with a season-ending injury. Goodrich averaged nearly two assists for every turnover.
It's not all good news, though,
as Kansas seems to find ways to
overcome turnovers only in games
against Missouri. Since a victor, against Pepperdine Dec. 30, Kansas has, to put it lightly, struggled as it lost the turnover battle in all eight games played in the month of January.
"Those are the things that have been killing us recently, rebounds and turnovers," senior guard Danielle McCray said. "We didn't really improve on our turnovers."
Henrickson recognized senior guard LaChelda lacobs and junior guard Rhea Codio in need of improvement entering the conference season.

"I identified two things that concerned me for us to be as good as I thought we could be," Henrickson said. "One was rebounding and one was the play of our back up point guards. Now they're playing all the time."
But those point guards have not improved significantly and the pair continually struggle to maintain possession of the ball, especially in the set half-court offense. In the five games since Goodrich's injury the duo have combined for more turnovers (20) than assists (16).
With Kansas clinging to a 5-point lead with 12 minutes to play, Morris took over at point guard. At that point Kansas had already turned the ball over 19 times. After Morris replaced Jacobs, the Jayhawks gave the ball away only three more times.
Seeingly for that very reason. Morris, a shooting guard, generally runs the point guard position later in games. She did just that in Saturday's victory against Missouri.
"I'll do whatever it takes to help us win or put us in a position to win," Morris said. "If me running the point late in the game does that, then I'm fine with that."

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Syracuse rallies past DePaul
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROSEMONT, III. — Wes Johnson scored 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, and No. 4 Syracuse rallied from 18 down to beat De-Paul 59-57 Saturday for its eighth straight win.
The Orange scored 16 straight to cut their deficit to two late in the first half, then took the lead with a 16-2 run in the second, escaping with a victory after DePaul's Will Walker missed a 3-pointer in the closing seconds.
Kris Joseph added 15 points for Syracuse (21-1, 8-1 Big East), including a 3-pointer that started the decisive rally. Rick Jackson scored 10.
Walker poured in 21 for DePaul (8-13, 1-8), which has lost nine of 10 and three straight since a win over Marquette that stopped a 24-game conference regular-season losing streak.
Trailing 52-43 with about seven minutes left, Joseph buried a 3-pointer to start the go-ahead run.
Andy Rautins connected from the outside after DePaul's Michael Bizoukas threw the ball away, and the Orange kept coming after the Blue Demons' Mike Stovall hit two free throws.
Scoop Jardine burted another 3-pointer, and Johnson tied it at 54 with a one-handed fastbreak dunk over Stovall.
Jardine gave the Orange their first lead with a layup that made it 56-54 with 3:37 left, and Joseph converted a layup and hit a free throw to make it 59-54.
DePaul stayed in it when Walker hit a 3 with 1:08 left, but the Blue Demons could not bury the potential winner in the closing seconds after Rautins missed a 3, and the Orange walked away with a tight victory.
From the start, this was anything but an easy afternoon for Syracuse.
The Orange turned the ball over on their first two possessions, resulting in a 3 by DePaul's Stovall and a jumper by Jeremiah Kelly and more early-game angst for a
team that fell behind 14-0 before rallying to beat Georgetown by 17 on Monday.
This time, they couldn't stop an opponent that ranked last in the Big East in scoring and field-goal percentage.
A 3-pointer by Walker, a steal and layup by Mac Koshwal after a timeout, and a layup by Krys Faber to cap a nine-point spurt made it 18-6, and the Blue Demons were just getting started.
Another 3 by Walker started another 9-0 run that Stovall finished with a floater, making it 33-15 with 8:53 left in the half and whipping the crowd into another frenzy.
It didn't last.
Arinze Onuaku scored and the Orange reeled off 16 straight, rattling the Blue Demons with their press. A long 3-pointer from the top by Rautins and short hook by Jackson pulled Syracuse within 33-31 with 1:48 left before Faber hit a corner jumper to make it a four-point game and end a 7-minute, 40-second drought for DePaul.

The Jayhawks had a record-breaking meet Friday at the Jayhawk Invitational.
Senior Lauren Bonds breezed past a 3,000 meter run, breaking a Jayhawk record of 9:33.24 with her time of 9:30.9. She broke a school record which had been standing since 1992, but she came in second in the race, which was won by Emily Sisson, a high school senior from St. Louis.
Bonds was aiming to break her third school record — the other two being in the 1,000 meters and the mile — sometime this year, but said she never expected to do accomplish her goal so early in the season.

Sophomore Rebecca Stake running the one mile at the Jayhawk Classic Friday. Stave finished first with a time of 4:58.23.
"I hope I'll have another chance to run it this indoor season," Bonds said. "If not, you know, I'm just happy I got it in the first place. I'd like to lower my time a little bit."
The layhawk Invitational is the biggest meet Kansas athletes have participated in so far this season. More than 20 schools participated in the Friday event indoors at Anschutz Pavilion.
Bonds' distance teammate, sophomore Rebeka Stowe set a personal record running the mile, with a time of 4:58.23. She finished in first place. This is Stowe's first time beating the five-minute-mile mark, which she said was a goal of hers. She said she had been having good workouts lately, so she knew the record was going to come soon.
"I knew I was going to do it this
year, because it's what I expected." Stowe said. "I didn't know if it would be this race just because the field wasn't really deep so there wasn't a lot of people in front of me for me to push off of."

teammate, sophomore Shayla Wilson. This was Washington's first victory as a college-level runner.
"This is definitely a start for me, but I'm trying to be a champ, a Big 12 champ, so it's just a start," Washington said.
Junior Kendra Bradley also took first in her event, the 400-meter, with a time of 57.02 seconds.
Freshman Rebecca Neville took first place in the pentathlon, but said she is still about 130 points away from qualifying for NCAA nationals, which will be held in March in Fayetteville, Ark.
"For the first one of the year that was OK! Neville said.

44 years later,the memories are still there
My dad wouldn't watch "Glory Road."
He didn't think it would be a bad movie. It's just that he saw Texas Western's story from a different perspective.
The 1966 Kansas Jayhawks were led by guard Jo Jo White and forward Walt Wesley, who each earned All-American honors twice during their careers. Coached by Ted Owens, the team lost just one game in conference play and made it to the NCAA Midwest Regional Finals, where they faced Texas Western.
The Miners defeated Kansas by one point to advance to the Final Four, which they eventually won by pulling out a victory against a great Kentucky team.
But Texas Western's story of winning the 1966 National Championship almost never happened.
SCOTT TOLAND
stoland@kansan.com
The Wave editor
My dad always remembered the day Kansas played Texas Western. He was a senior at the University at the time, and he never forgot how that game ended.
As depicted in the movie, the game was tied with just a few seconds left. The Jayhawks got the ball to their go-to-guy, Jo Jo White, who attempted a deep shot from near the sideline. White made the shot as time expired, and it looked as if the Jayhawks had won the game.
But then a referee claimed that White had stepped out of bounds and the game went to overtime. Texas Western ended up winning 81-80, and White and the Jayhawks were forced to wait another year to try to win the national title.
My dad told me that a photo showed that White had not stepped out of bounds as he took the shot. However, "Glory Road" showed that one foot was clearly on the sideline. Although no one knows for sure, I know my dad always remembered that game as a heartbreaker. Kansas did not win another National Championship for 22 years, and it was not an easy game for any Kansas fan to forget.
For those Jayhawk fans who remembered the Texas Western game, "Glory Road" was a tough movie to watch. It was a great story about how the Miners persevered and won the National Championship, but
it also brought back memories of what might have been if one referee hadn't made the call.
As Jo Jo White's shot against Texas Western shows, there are only so many things that the team can control.
The players can put their full efforts into every practice and Bill Self and his staff can have them more prepared than any team in the country. In the end, though, the team can't count on every call being correct, especially in the biggest games.
The 1966 team was among the best teams that ever took the court for Kansas. No one on the team ever won a National Championship, but they all deserved to win one.
If this year's team works hard enough to really deserve to win the National Championship, I think everything else will fall into place. The Jayhawks have only lost one game so far this season, and they will be a tough team for anyone to stop in March.
As the Jayhawks prepare for the stretch run of this season, I can't help thinking how their season will end during my senior year. And just like my dad, I know I'll never forget it.

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Freshman center Jeff Withey transferred from the University of Arizona to Kansas during the second half of last season. Because of transfer rules, he had to sit out the first semester, but he might not have played anyway because of a knee injury.
Withey has appeared in five games this season for the Jayhawks, averaging 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds.
Originally, coach Bill Self wasn't going to play Withey many minutes at Iowa State. But with his team in foul trouble, Self had no choice but to send Withey. He responded with a season-high eight points and five rebounds in 12 minutes.
CT: You used to live in San Diego and Arizona before you came to Lawrence. Look at this weather. Are you regretting your decision?
JW: No. But the weather is pretty bad right now.I'm kind of getting used to it.

CT: I know your favorite football team is the San Diego Chargers. I don't want to open any wounds, but how did you take that loss?
CT: Did they talk smack back to you after they lost?
JW: I was really, really disappointed. I'm a huge Charger fan. I was talking smack to everybody in the locker room. Tyshawn is a Jets fan. It broke my heart.
JW: No, they were pretty nice actually. A little bit. But they didn't want to rub it in too much.
JW: Saints. I'm a Drew Brees fan and Reggie Bush.
CT: So who do you have in the Super Bowl?
JW: I play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 online.
CT: I know a lot of your teammates play videogames. Are you into any at all?
CT: What's your highest kill-streak?

CONNECTICUT VS. LOUISVILLE

W
The Spartans head west to take on a Wisconsin team that is much better than many expected them to be this season. Michigan State will have its hands full trying to contain the Badgers' star player, senior Trevon Hughes, but point guard Kalin Lucas should be up to the task.

MISSISSIPPI VS. KENTUCKY

After a loss at South Carolina last week, the Wildcats will be even more focused as they hit the home stretch of the season. Mississippi has been playing well this season, but they will likely have a tough time keeping up with Kentucky on the road.

The Yellow Jackets pulled out a victory the last time they played Duke, but that victory came at home. Everyone knows Cameron Indoor Stadium is a tough place to play, and forward Kyle Singler and the Blue Devils will be ready to get off to a great start in this game.

It seems like anything can happen in the Big East. Five teams have a legitimate shot at winning the league, and this game could be very important in determining the conference title. After losing star forward Deluan Blair to the NBA following last season, Pittsburgh has done
much better than expected so far this season. West Virginia has several players who can really change a game, including point guard Joe Mazzulla. This game should be a fight, but the loser won't have to wait long for revenge — these teams meet again next Friday.
THE WAVE'S 2010 NCAA TOURNAMENT PROJECTIONS
The 2010 NCAA Tournament is just a few weeks away, and it's never too early to start thinking about which teams will earn this year's top seeds. The Wave editor Scott Toland projects the top four seeds in each regional.
EAST
MIDWEST
1. Villanova 1. Kansas
2. West Virginia 2. Michigan State
3. Gonzaga 3. Kansas State
4. Wisconsin 4. Tennessee
WEST SOUTH
1. Texas 1. Kentucky
2. Syracuse 2. Duke
3. Georgetown 3. Pittsburgh
4. Georgia Tech 4. Purdue
Right now, it looks like five teams are shooting for four No. 1 seeds. Villanova and Syracuse are both very good teams, but point guard Scottie Reynolds should make the difference and the Wildcats should win the Big East. Kentucky, Texas, and Kansas should take the other three top seeds, as they are not likely to be challenged by many teams in their conferences.
The Wave's Top 25 Wave editor Scott Toland ranks the nation's best teams

GETTING CREATIVE
By Kathleen Gier

Somehow, every camera finds them at basketball games. These are the dedicated and creative people who make entertaining signs to show their team spirit. Whether they dress in crimson and blue or hold the dancing heads and letters that spell a variety of words and phrases, these are just a sampling of the 16,300 fans that show up for each game ready to cheer on the Jayhawks when they step onto the court.
"KU Heads for Victory"
The ever-present "KU Heads for Victory" started off in the residence halls in 2005 when Andrew Stanley was a freshman. Stanley, a 2009 graduate in Latin American Studies, and his friends printed off basketball players' heads and backed them with poster board so fans could hold them up during games.
"We started out in the dorms without much material." Stanley says. "We started with poster board, but we had to replace them every season because they would get so beat up."
Eventually, their materials matured to the mat boards that the "heads" are on now.
The group has lived on under new leadership. Now they are led by Tyler Luke, a junior from Wichita.
"Younger people had to keep it going,but Andrew set the standard for crazy and exciting," Luke says.
There is no special way they determine who holds up which player's head. Luke just brings the heads, passes them out and recollects them at the end of the game.
"I always liked the Sherron Collins head because in the picture he is screaming," Staley says. "Someone who dunks or someone who people get really excited about is the best because you can hold it up and go crazy."
Luke enjoys going home and seeing the group on ESPN highlights. Stanley, who now lives and works in
Boston, gets to see the group while he watches games and highlights on ESPN.
"It is a really great feeling," Stanley says. "I almost still feel like a part of it because it is the same group with the same people. It is great to have something that stands out in the crowd."
"Ain't No Seats"
Up in the stands there is another group that garners attention. The group, which is comprised of members of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, has a variety of letters and an apostrophe that they use to spell out the names of the players. They also spell out "MISS" during opponents' free throws. But their signature phrase always stands out: "Ain't No Seats."
People laugh, but few know the story behind the saying. One member of the group, Steve Griffith, a sophomore from Lawrence, passed the story along.
"The story is in Sherron's freshman English class. Sher-

ron came into class, slightly tardy, and walked past the empty desks at the front of the class and sat in the only seat left in the back of the class," Griffth says. "When the teacher asked him why he didn't sit in the front of the class, Sherron responded "Ain't No Seats". And according to the story, these were some of the only words Sherron said in class all year."
Granted, the signs are a crowd pleaser, but with all
"After our first game using the letters, we figured out that we could spell out other things, too," Griffith says. "My job during games along with my friend John Worley is to yell from one side of the row to the other to get the letters organized correctly and put up at the right time and also to think of new words and phrases we can use to pump up the crowd and the players."
After the event, they story spread quickly and the Battenfeld men felt that it deserved more attention. They went out and bought poster board and started to make the letters for Collins' infamous phrase.
the effort these students put in every game, one might wonder what the purpose is.
"The main point of our letters is to thank Sherron for his four years of hard work for us KU fans," Griffith says. "The most satisfying part of the group is when Sherron looks up at us, points to us, and pumps his fist in appreciation."
"As you may have seen, we are incorporating more than just Sherron now, because we realize that Sherron's reign in Lawrence is nearing its end and are planning for future phrases that will catch on like 'Ain't No Seats' has."
From camping to waving the wheat these fans are not just there for attention, but for the camaraderie that being a fan offers.
Matt Rissien, a senior from Overland Park, attends the games with a stuffed Jayhawk headpiece and even a KU Snuggie on some occasions. For the Missouri game, he

also brought a stuffed Tiger hung on a string.
"I like to go all out because I went to a small private school in Kansas City and I was always a big fan, but it was nothing like this level," Rissien said. "Now that I am here I like to go all out and go all crazy."
During the football season, Rissien is a spirit coordinator for Student Union Activities and is in charge of the Hawk Zone, which is a special cheering section for students.
"I'm in charge of the upcoming KU's Biggest Fan contest for SUA, so unfortunately I cannot win, but since I cannot, I like to set the tone for all the other fans to match."Rissien said.
After the Missouri game he represented the KU fan base on Rivals.com in a picture on the front page. The camera was focused on him smiling and proudly holding up his prize: the tiger on a string.
"Everyone knows that KU is spirited, and I try to be one of the most spirited fans;" Rissien said.

BASKETBALL
In a weak slate of conference games, this is the one to keep an eye on. Texas has underperformed in its last four games, and Oklahoma State has been catching teams off guard, including Kansas State, just a game after its victory
against the Longhorns. The Cowboys lean heavily on preseason all-conference swingman James Anderson, who is averaging 22 points per game. If he can meet that average, the Cowboys have a shot at pulling the upset.

it took 20 games, but it looks like the Jayhawks preseason All-American center is back in top form. After a breakout 19-point, 11-rebound performance at Iowa State. Aldrich stopped Missouri in its tracks with seven blocks and 16 rebounds, along with 12 points. More impressive than the numbers, though, is the athleticism he's displayed during the last two games that was nowhere to be seen early in the season.
Oklahoma lost its top two scorers, guards Willie Warren and Tony Crocker, for a Wednesday night game against Iowa State. Mason-Griffin picked up the slack and then some, pouring in 38 points and six assists, while playing all 40 minutes. He and Cade Davis (24 points) carried the Sooners to a much-needed win.

Big 12 Team of the Week Kansas
The Jayhawks could have slid into this spot by default as the only team above them in the national ratings, Kentucky, fell on Tuesday to the Tightin' Devan Downey of South Carolina. Instead, they earned Team of the Week honors with a destruction of arch-rival Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse.
Quick Hitters
- After Texas earned its No.1 ranking, the Longhorns lost both of their games the following week. The Longhorns are now playing better as they prepare to host Kansas next week.
- During Oklahoma's last five games, Tommy Mason-Griffin is averaging more than 40 minutes per game. He's a talented scorer, but he's just a freshman. Coach Jeff Capel should be careful or he'll burn the kid out.
- Cole Aldrich has averaged 15.5 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks during his last two games. If he's back, Kansas' 56-28 rebounding margin in the Missouri game may be come a trend, rather than an aberration.
- Baylor received no love from Sunflower State teams this year. After playing a great game in Lawrence, the Bears slowed down late and couldn't hold on for the upset. Then Kansas State came to Waco and dropped the Bears on a pair of late Jacob Pullen free throws.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Short-handed and far from home, Oklahoma State did something it hadn't done since Eddie Sutton played for the Cowboys.
James Anderson scored 30 points and Obi Muonelo hit two key three-pointers in the final minutes Saturday, lifting underdog Oklahoma State to a 73-69 victory over No. 10 Kansas State. It had been just six days since the crestfallen Wildcats beat No. 1 Texas on the same floor.
It had been 52 years since Oklahoma State beat a top 10 team on the road. Sutton, the former Oklahoma State coach, was a forward when the Cowboys beat No. 2 Kansas 52-50 in overtime in 1958.
"But this Kansas State team is a great basketball team. It was just one of those nights."
"In this league, everybody knows what each other is going to do," said Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford, who decided on Thursday that point guard Ray Penn would sit out with a leg injury.
The victory against Texas in their previous game was just Kansas State's third over a No. 1 team and boosted basketball fever among Wildcats fans to its highest point in decades. But after playing so well, the Wildcats were off their game in just about every respect.
AN
"We missed 47 open shots. We didn't get any offensive rebounds," said coach Frank Martin. "We just missed shot after shot after shot. Didn't make free throws, didn't make lay-ups. Couldn't catch the ball. I obviously didn't do my job very well preparing this team to play."
Were the Wildcats guilty of a letdown?
"I don't want to hear that." Martin said.
Muonelo had 14 for Oklahoma State and hit a 3-pointer to give Oklahoma State a 61-56 lead. Then with 2:11 to go his 3-pointer put the Cowboys on top 66-60.
The loss snapped Kansas State's 14-game winning streak in Bramlage Coliseum, their longest since the facility opened 22 years ago.
KANSAS STATE WILDCATS
Getting prime seats a victory in itself
By Ashley Dunkak Kansas State Collegian —Thursday, Jan. 28
MANHATTAN — Logically speaking, the last thing anyone wants to do when the temperature is only a few degrees above freezing is stand outside in the cold. But logical or not, that is what thousands of K-State students did on Jan. 18, the day the Wildcats took on undefeated No. 1 Texas in Bramall Coliseum.
As early as 3 a.m., students lined up and waited...and waited...and waited...to be released into the stadium. When the doors finally opened, purple-clad fans poured into the stands, some galloping down the bleachers to get prime seats.
Some chosen ones were fortunate enough to be awarded giant faces of Coach Frank Martin (one smiling, one featuring a more traditional, intense look) and several players. There were a few creative signs among the crowd, including "Happy Frank Martin Luther King Jr. Day" and "Wrangling the Herd." Other sightings in the first row
included felt beards, meant to greet junior guard Jacob Pullen's mom, Charlotte, who is, as of Pullen's last report, not yet a big fan of her son's facial hair.
Obviously, front row seats are a hot commodity. So what is the recipe for landing those coveted spots? Some students who scored courtside views at the Texas game gave insight into securing the seats.
"Getting up at the crack of dawn," said Dani Hall, junior in marketing. "We got there at 8, and we were about 100 people back."
The fans said several factors are involved in getting the best view of the court for a big game.
Collin Mangus, senior in secondary education, who said he has sat in the first row every game, gets in line as early as it takes to get seats in the first row. Obviously, not just anyone has what it takes to make that kind of a time commitment. While all kinds of students love basketball, there is a common denominator between those who devote their whole day to getting seated first.

The Maneater — Tuesday, Jan. 26

Look up to the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse and your gaze will meet banners documenting one of the most successful men's basketball programs in NCAA history.
Final Four appearances, conference championships and retired numbers of Kansas greats adorn the ceiling and walls of the revered 54-year-old arena.
On the north wall, five national championship banners hang below an ominous warning: "Pay Heed, All Who Enter: Beware of 'The Phog.'"
It is into this crucible that opponents are thrown and few come out with a win. In fact, no one has come out with a win the last 54 times Kansas has taken its home court, the longest such streak in the nation.
A sellout crowd of 16,300 attended the game, and despite the outcome becoming pretty clear as the second half went on, a good amount of fans could still be found as
the final seconds clicked off the clock.
The sellout was Kansas' 142nd straight.
Allen Fieldhouse has been a house of horrors for the Tigers this past decade; Missouri's last win at Kansas came in 1999.
Nothing comes easy when playing on the Jayhawks' home court, especially when a player is doing it for the first time.
Junior forward Justin Safford saw the effect the crowd had on Missouri's younger players.
"I think it kind of sped them up a little bit," Safford said. "I think you could tell by the quick shots."
Quick shots or not, few were falling for Missouri. The Tigers' shooting doldrums continued with them hitting just 27.9 percent from the field. In five conference games, Missouri has not shot greater than 45.3 percent.
Although it might not be the most pleasant experience in the Big 12, Anderson said it was a necessary one for his team to endure.
"Our guys got to go through this because we're going to play some good basketball teams coming up," Anderson said.
NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS
Cornhuskers' offense still struggling in Big 12 play
By Michael Schaefer Daily Nebraskan — Thursday, Jan. 28
LINCOLN, Neb. — The shooting woes on the road continued for Nebraska in a 72-60 loss to Colorado.
The Cornhuskers (12-8, 0-5) started slow, stayed slow, but finished strong after the Buffaloees built a lead of 18 points during the second part of the second half.
NU coach Doc Sadler said this was the first time one of his teams has not showed up to play in the first half. He apologized for not having them up to the challenge.
"I did not have this basketball team ready to play in the first half tonight." Sadler said, "We've got to be ready for the opening tip."
The Huskers only managed 21 points in the first half of play.
Sadler was particularly unhappy with his team's 13 turnovers in the first half. Nebraska finished with 16 total. That number is much higher than their season average of 11.6.
The fourth-year coach also lamented the lack of an aggressive scorer during the loss. No Nebraska starter finished with more than nine points.
Nebraska's high scorer was first-year forward Christian Standhardinger, who had 14 points off the bench. All of his points came in the second half.
During the first half, Standhardinger looked every bit a freshman with a lane violation that wiped away a free throw attempt early in the game.
It was the first playing time for Standhardinger in over a week, as he was held out of the Missouri game last Saturday for academic reasons.
He also missed on both of his field goal attempts, fouled twice and turned the ball over two times in very few minutes.
IOWA STATE CYCLONES
Senior forward Gilstrap earns Big 12 recognition
By Nate Sandell Iowa State Daily Monday, Jan. 25
AMES, Iowa — If Marquis Gilstrap's dunk on Saturday over Kansas' 6-foot-11-inch All-American center Cole Aldrich
was any indication, Gilstrap has made his arrival in the Big 12 known.
Gilstrap earned Big 12 Rookie of the Week honors Monday for the fifth time this season and third time in four weeks, tying for the
Gilstrap
A. W.
fourth-most rookie awards in a single season.
In Iowa State's four conference games this season. Gilstrap is averaging 18 points per game and has been the team's leading
scorer in all four of those games.
He is only the second player in Big 12 history to start his career with four straight double-doubles — NBA star Kevin Durant was the first.
Against Kansas, Gilstrap recorded 18 points and 12 rebounds, including his highlight-reel dunk that was ranked No.7 on ESPN's Top 10 plays from Saturday.
"Marquis just keeps playing. He's still learning offensively, some things about shot selection and timing things. But that's typical of any first-year player," said coach Greg McDermott after Saturday's game.
"I don't question his ability to get in and mix it up on both sides of the floor. To start his Big 12 career with four double-doubles — there's not many players who have done it in the history of this league."

Mason, Balbay overpower Texas Tech
By Laken Litman Daily Texan — Thursday, Jan. 28
AUSTIN — Justin Mason and Dogus Balbay must have eaten their Wheaties on Wednesday. The two combined for 31 points and were a large part of No. 6 Texas' 95-83 victory against Texas Tech.
The two guards usually start every game but play more of an unsung-hero type of role, with a heavy presence on the defensive side of the ball and never really getting much statistical glory.
But that was not the case against the Red Raiders on Wednesday night. Mason appeared to have the hot hand early in the first half when he slammed the ball down the net after chaos ensued when three other Texas players missed a bouncing ball at the rim. He finished the first half with 13 points, going 6-8 in field goals with three rebounds in 15 minutes of play. He was extremely consistent through both halves and ended with a season-high 18 points, going 8-12 in
field goals. He also tallied four rebounds and a season-high five assists.

"It was just about letting the momentum loose and going out there to play today," Mason said. "I found the net on a couple of open jump shots, and I was just trying to find the rim a little more. That's the game plan every night."
Though he had more of an offensive effort, he didn't let his defense slip. Mason protected the ball and didn't give up a single turnover, though the Longhorns had a total of 11.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Like Mason, Balbay played more of an offensive game, but his most memorable moment was a defensive block on 6-foot-1 Texas Tech forward Theron Jenkins. Jenkins, who is five inches taller than Balbay, was driving for a slam dunk when Balbay came flying into register his 12th block of the season.
"It happens." Balbay said nonchalantly. "I knew he was going to try to dunk, so I just turned around and jumped and blocked it. I had to do it. No easy baskets."

Aggies fall to Cowboys after sluggish first half
By T.D. Durham The Battalion Thursday, Jan. 28
STILLWATER, Okla. — The Texas A&M men's basketball team lost its third road game in Big 12 Conference play Wednesday, in a 76-69 loss to Oklahoma State at Iba-Gallagher Arena in Stillwater, Okla.
Although the Aggies won the opening tip-off, they got out of the gate slowly offensively, missing the first four 3-point field goals they took and not scoring until the 16:41 mark.
The Aggies found their offense with 5:52 remaining in the first half when senior forward Bryan Davis stole the ball and found sophomore guard Dash Harris
Senior guard Obi Muonelo scored the first eight points for Oklahoma State. Muonelo finished the game with a seasonhigh 24 points and career-high tie in 3-pointers, with six.
on the fast break. Harris slammed home a dunk over two Cowboy defenders and drew a foul, which brought the Aggies to only a 6-point deficit.
A&M would tie the game with two minutes remaining in the first half and the teams would go into the locker room at halftime tied,26-26.
Texas A&M senior guard Donald Sloan, who leads the Aggies with an average of 17.6 points per game, scored just five points in first half action.
A&M kept the game close until an Anderson 3-pointer put the Aggies down by 7 points with 8:36 remaining in the bout. A&M would not pull within five points for the rest of regulation.
Sloan broke out in the second half, as he finished with a team high 27 points for the Aggies.
The loss puts the Aggies at 14-6 overall and 3-3 in Big 12.
BAYLOR BEARS
Late K-State free throws put away Baylor, 76-74
By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press — Tuesday, Jan. 26
WACO, Texas — Kansas State guard Jacob Pullen scored 25 points, with six 3-pointers and the game-winning free throws Tuesday night as No. 11 Kansas State beat No. 24 Baylor 76-74 to end the Bears' 11-game home winning streak.
"It was no big deal to me," Pullen said of his slump. "It was mental and mechanical. I felt great, like I got back into my rhythm."
Pullen's final points were two free throws with 8.2 seconds remaining as the first game at the Ferrell Center that matched ranked teams turned out to be a thriller.
Pullen was pretty good stopping shots as well. He was the primary defender on Baylor standout LaceDarius Dunn, who managed only nine points on 3 of 13 shooting after a five-game stretch when he had at least 20 points four times.
When Baylor (15-4, 2-3) got its last chance after Pullen's two free throws, Dunn dribbled the length of the court before losing the handle in the lane. He recovered in time to throw up a wild one-handed shot between several defenders that never had a chance.
Dunn was averaging 26 points in Big 12 games and had scored 33 with nine 3-pointers against the Wildcats last year.
The margin was never more than four points for either team in the final $ 17\% $ minutes in a game that featured 11 ties and 14 lead changes.
Tweety Carter had his second consecutive 23-point game for Baylor, and Anthony Jones had 12 points and nine rebounds. Epke Udoh was only 2 of 10 for eight points, but had 14 rebounds.
"It's very frustrating, but we have to let this one go," Carter said. "We have to learn from ourselves and prepare for Texas."

With Tony Crocker and Willie Warren both out with injuries, Oklahoma was in dire need of somebody to step up at home Wednesday against the Iowa State Cyclones in place of their top two scorers.
However, one did not. Two did.
Bruised and beaten, the ailing Sooners were able to get the best of Iowa State, downing the Cyclones in a blowout-turnedhome-scare 89-84.
Young gun Tommy Mason-Griffin was first to shine, hitting the first eight Sooner points. Mason-Griffin ended the half with 18 points off of 7-9 shooting from the field, 4-5 from the three point arc.
Renowned this season for his relentless hustle and heart, junior guard Cade Davis stepped in to compliment Mason-Griffin's hot start.
Davis shot the lights out as well, shooting 5-10 from the field and 2-4 from the three-point arc, good for 14 first-half points. He
also added three steals.
As a team, the Sooners shot often throughout the first half and shot well, a deadly combination when a team shoots as many three pointers as Oklahoma does. The team finished the first half shooting 50 percent from the field and 8-15 (53 percent) from the three-point line.
The deadeye shooting led to a 19-7 Oklahoma run that plagued the Cyclones from the 12-minute mark until under eight minutes left in the half.
Capel's crew enjoyed a healthy 48-32 lead at half. On the season, the Sooners have averaged a Big 12 best eight three-pointers per contest, equal to what they had in Wednesday night's first half.
With five minutes left, the Sooners were up by a mere three points. The Cyclones had traded buckets and gone on many short-runs to slowly but surely chip the lead down and were right on the verge of taking the lead.
Lucky for the Sooners, basketball is a two-half effort, and they were able to hang on to win in the last few minutes of the game.
TEXASTECH RED RAIDERS
Red Raiders look for lift after road losses
By Mike Graham Daily Toreader — Friday, Jan. 29
Junior guard John Roberson and the Texas Tech basketball team know they're going to need a win or two on the road to stand out to the postseason selection committees.
Texas Tech lost at No.6 Texas on Wednesday, but the Red Raiders have a second consecutive opportunity to grab a marquee road win when they play a good Texas A&M team at 8 p.m. in College Station.
"It's real important," Roberson said. "Especially since we lost to Missouri at home, we have to get that one back. This is a winnable game for us and I think we'll get it done."
Things did not go as well as the Red Raiders hoped when they played Texas.
Tech led at halftime 50-47, but was outscored 48-33 in the second half on the Longhorns' way to a 95-83 victory.
The Red Raiders also allowed five Texas players to get into double-digit scoring — something that will have to change for Tech
to have a chance at A&M.
Darko Cohadarevic missed the game serving an indefinite suspension and D'walyn Roberts was out with a foot injury.
Roberson said he expects Cohadarevic to be back in the lineup Saturday, but Roberts' status is still uncertain.
But A&M needs a win, too. The Aggies were the first team out of the polls just a few weeks ago,but losses at Texas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State have the Aggies sitting .500 in the Big 12 Conference standings.
An A&M win would give the Aggies a bit of separation from other teams seeking the last NCAA Tournament and NIT bids.
A Tech win could put the Red Raiders, tied for ninth, in the top half of the conference standings — tied with A&M at 3-4.
"We know that they're a good team," forward Mike Singletary said. "And we think we're a pretty good team. All that stuff we did before conference really doesn't matter to us right now. It's all about what you do in conference and who you beat in conference."

2,000 VICTORIES 17
The march to 2,000 victories
COLUMBUS
As the Jayhawks approach the historic mark, The Wave takes a closer look at how they got this far
Heading into Saturday's game against Kansas State, Kansas had 1989 all-time victories. This year's team has a chance to reach the historic mark during the 2010 Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, Mo.

Editor's Note: Every week through the rest of the basketball season, The Wave will feature a story about the Jayhawks' road to 2,000 victories, which will feature notable games and reflections by former players. This week, The Wave takes a look at the first 40 years that led up to the 500th victory in Kansas basketball history.
The Beginning
From the first season of Kansas Men's Basketball in 1898, when the team finished 7-4 under Dr. James Naismith, to the school-record 37-3 championship season in 2008, the Jayhawks have seen their share of victories in their 113 seasons.
Through the years, they accumulated 52 conference championships, 38 NCAA tournament appearances, 13 Final Fours and 5 national championships. Another milestone will likely occur this season: the Javahaws' 2,000th victory.
Bud Stallworth has been around the program since 1968. He played for Kansas from 1968-1972, then he played professionally for five years.
He returned to Lawrence in 1897 and now attends games and also works twice a week on "Rock Chalk Sports Talk" on KLWN 1320 AM.
"It is a lifelong experience." Stallworth said. "I don't know if a lot of people understand how much tradition is involved at the University of Kansas basketball program."
He attributed a lot of the team's successes throughout the years to consistency of coaches and a continually good revolution of players.
"The thing that really amazes me is the consistency over time that this program has been able to maintain and the quality of people that have been involved," Stallworth said.
Setting the Pace
Naismith, "The Father of Basketball" was originally hired at the University as the Director of Physical Education. Soon he became the coach of the new basketball team that attracted many
young men to the tryouts. Under the direction of their new coach, the Jayhawks suited up to play their first game against the Kansas City YMCA on February 3, 1899. William Sutton made the first basket in KU's history.
An excerpt from the Lawrence Daily Journal posted in the Booth Family Hall of Athletics describes the first basket: "Sutton made one of the most sensational plays one minute into the game... He was viciously beset by two YMCA men and, bending backwards, he threw the ball fully 12 yards and got a goal."
Even though they did not win the game, the Jayhawks had a promising future ahead.
National Championships
The 1922 and 1923 teams were retrospectively given the Helms Foundation National Championship in 1936. Dr. Forrest C. "Phoq" Allen led the teams as coach.
In 1922, Paul Endacott was named to the All-America team, and in 1923 Charlie T. Black was named to the All-America team along with Endacott, who was
also named Player of the Year.
Victory No. 500
On January 19,1939,the Jayhawks defeated the Missouri Tigers to gain a momentous victory just 40 years after their first victory. The game was played at Hoch Auditoria.
The Jayhawks blemished the Tigers' undefeated Big 6 conference record, winning 37-32 in a rough game. They were led by Howard Engleman, who scored nine points.

Kansas @ Colorado Kansas - Cole Aldrich will make the difference inside against the Buffaloes and the Jayhawks will pick up a conference road victory.
Texas @ Oklahoma State Texas - The Longhorns' big men should be too much for the Cowboys to handle and Texas will pull out a hard-earned victory in a tough arena.
Texas A&M @ Missouri Missouri - The Aggies are a good team, but Missouri's pressure should force Texas A&M to commit too many turnovers to win the game.
Pittsburgh @ West Virginia West Virginia - The Mountaineers and the Panthers are both good teams, but West Virginia's home-court advantage will make all the difference.
Connecticut @ Louisville Connecticut - The Huskies' big men should dominate inside and Connecticut will pick up a nice victory on the road.
Kansas State @ Nebraska Kansas State - The Wildcats' guard play should be enough to defeat the Cornhuskers on the road and keep pace in the Big 12 race.
Cincinnati @ Notre Dame Notre Dame - Cincinnati has been playing well, but Luke Harangody should propel Notre Dame to a victory.
Standford @ UCLA UCLA - The Bruins have been struggling this season, but they have plenty of talent and should take care of business at home against Stanford.
Michigan State @ Wisconsin Michigan State - The Badgers have been a surprise so far, but the Spartans' superior talent and experience should help them get a victory.
Elon @ Wofford Wofford - The Terriers will be too much for the Phoenix to handle in another big Southern Conference matchup.

Overcrowding on campus and long lines frustrate students

Emily Hooker has waited 30 minutes for an elliptical machine and she's frustrated. "If I go in the evening I have to wait every single time," Hooker, a junior from Andover, said. "Sometimes I just give up and leaves."
Whether students are sticking to their New Year's resolutions or trying to slim down for spring break, the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center is seeing high volume. With a total enrollment of 30,102 at the University, some wonder why facilities such as the recreation center aren't larger.
"I definitely think it needs to be expanded," Hooker said. "It's just not supporting students like it should."
The recreation center, which opened in 2003, underwent an extreme expansion that started in 2007 and was completed in 2008. With an addition of 45,000 square feet, the $6.3 million project created a quarter-mile track, four gymnasiums and racquetball courts among
other new amenities.
Hooker said the money she paid in campus fees wasn't well spent.
"I can't buy a pass elsewhere and I shouldn't have to," she said. "I already pay to go to the rec."
Students pay a student recreation and fitness center fee of $75.50 per semester as part of student fees.
Student fees total $423.35 each semester.
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said the building was given a limited amount of space but as many as 5.000 students have visited the recreation center in one day.
With intramural sports now flooding the courts, Chappell said the recreation center will be overcrowded at times.
"We did a lot with the space that we were given," Chappell said. "If we had more space we could fill it up."
This semester, 250 intramural basketball teams have signed up to play at the recreation center. Now, there is a waiting list for teams because they are out of playing space.
"Intramural basketball is coming up and when that happens it seems like we're exploding at the seams," she said. "But things change with the weather. People can

University offers online file storage option to students
KU Information Technology formally introduced Hawk Drive
BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com
— an online storage space once available only to University faculty and staff — to students in an e-mail Monday afternoon.
Hawk Drive promises students a gigabyte of storage space accessible through the Internet, according to the e-mail. By logging in to the Hawk Drive website with a KUID username and password, users can store, share, collaborate, secure and save different versions of document files using the program. A feature called "ticketing"
follows users to collaborate with people outside of the University, giving them a restricted login.
Julie Loats, the University's director of Director of IT, Enterprise Applications
Judith Rincon-Cross, a junior from San Cristobal, Venezuela, said she uses her USB flash drive, or jump drive, to store files for her interior design classes. She said she thought the majority of other students did the same.
the University has one gigabyte of space on Hawk Drive, the service currently hosts only a fraction of the student population. Loats said many students still don't know about Hawk Drive. In December, KU Information Technology placed information about Hawk Drive on login pages to KU e-mail accounts.
Loats said the storage space is a more accessible option than

Megan Gannon, graphics coordinator and Web services administrator in the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, said she has been using Hawk Drive since for some time. As a graphics coordinator, she works with large files and says she finds the new online space useful.
"I like best that it gives me a way to transfer files without clogging up my e-mail or others, especially off-campus," Gannon said.

Donors give record sum
Despite a harsh economy, Endowment numbers are flourishing.
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
Over the last two fiscal years, alumni and other donors have broken records for donations to the University of Kansas Endowment Association.
Rosita Elizalde McCoy, senior vice president or communications and marketing, said in fiscal year 2008, donors contributed $94 million, the highest amount ever donated to the Endowment Association at that time. That record was broken again in fiscal year 2009 with donors giving $106.4 million.
In 2009 the Endowment Association funded student scholarships, fellowships and awards amounting to $29.3 million and $5.2 million for student loans. The Endowment Association also supports faculty, research, academic programs and new facilities. Elizalde-McCoy said, in total, the association gave $105.4 million to the University in 2009.
Abe Jacobs, a senior from St. Paul, Minn. and student manager at the Endowment Association call center, said because of KU's tradition, alumni are willing to give even in this economy.
Fundraising has been a challenge for colleges across the nation. According to a report by the Giving USA Foundation, in fiscal year 2009, giving to universities declined to its lowest drop in 50 years. Still, the Endowment Association has seen contributions in harsh economic times.
While average college endowment returns were down by 18.7 percent last year, The University of Kansas endowment sees redemption ahead, according to Elizalde-McCoy.
"Last year was a really fantastic year because we have great alumni." Jacobs said. "Most couldn't give everything they had but they usually still participated and gave some amount because we have such great tradition here."
In a study by Commonfund and the National Association of College and University Business Officers found, on average, 842 of participating colleges are suffering the highest decline for higher education since the

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"There is no way that this winter is *ever* going to end as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any other way out. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him."
— Bill Murray as Phil in "Groundhog Day"
FACT OF THE DAY
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
KANSAN.com
Groundhogs are one of the few animals that really hibernate. Hibernation is not just a deep sleep. It is actually a deep coma, where the body temperature drops to a few degrees above freezing, the heart barely beats, the blood scarcely flows, and breathing nearly stops.

People have reported lines of about 40 people this semester, she said.

then go outside to work out."
Parking is also an issue at the recreation center. There is limited parking for people without passes. For those looking to park for free, they must wait until 5 p.m. on weekdays. The time restrictions can lead to a heavy flow of people in the evening.
Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said there had always been a limited amount of spaces in the area. When the recreation center was created, traffic only grew

But Nona Golledge, director of KU Dining Services, said that according to their data, transactions have actually decreased from 2009 to 2010.

first opened
in September 2004. The previous location only offered snacks and quick meals. Golledge said they came upon an opportunity to enhance service by renovating and adding to the space, but it was limited.
"We took the square footage we were given, 7,000 square feet, out as far as it could go and it soon became 11,500 square feet. It gave us a lot more space," Golledge said. "If we expanded anymore it would be very costly."
The venue is supposed to fit 707 people with additional seating outside. Golledge said it can be difficult to know the exact number of people in The Underground
at a given time because customers use several entrances. With the recognition of The Underground's popularity, KU Dining Services knew they needed to offer students other alternatives.
"We were surprised at how quickly The Underground became popular," Golledge said. "We immediately began adjusting our master plan to help spread out the traffic across campus."
Four Hawk Stops were added across campus, three of which, in strong, Watson Library and Anschutz libraries, are in close proximity to The Underground. The Anschutz Hawk Stop will be renovated to include a coffee Pulse Express and a wider range of food options. Other dining services, such as The Studio in Hashinger Hall and The Market at the Kansas Union, have been renovated in recent years. Even with the several different dining areas around campus, Golledge said she sometimes receives complaints about the lack of seating in The Underground.
"We do hear a few comments mainly during the winter when the outdoor seating is not being used," she said.
Golledge said the staff does all it can to keep the crowds moving in order for all diners to have a good experience.
"The Underground leadership does a great job being visible on the floor during peak serving hours to assist guests with moving through the operation." Golledge said. "They monitor the situation and offer suggestions on available seats."

Unclogging The Underground
Unfortunately, because of extreme overcrowding, this hub of campus food favorites has been deemed a frustratingly congested dining service.
This congestion isn't just annoying for students; it's also a safety risk. KU Dining Services must make an effort to fix this problem.
The cold weather plays a role in the overcrowding in The Underground. When it is too cold to eat outside, people jam into the limited indoor space. During this year's winter months, an average of 3,000 transactions occurred every day at The Underground.
This results not only in lengthy waits for tables to open, but also dangerous clusters as people crowd walking space and exits.
When The Underground opened in September 2004, designers were not given a lot of room to work with, according to Nona Golledge, director of Dining Services.
The original location was 7,000 square feet and housed mostly quick bite and snack vendors.
They were able to reach 11,500 square feet with the expansion. Even with this significant amplification, space is still scarce.
The Underground can hold 707 people with an estimated 100 seats located outside.
Though the expansion was a step in the right direction, it's still not enough to meet the demand for space and address the risks of overcrowding.
But actually keeping The Underground at capacity with all of the walking traffic is rarely accomplished.
Golledge attributes this difficulty to the abundance of entrances located throughout Wescoe.
Because of the cost another expansion would entail, changes to The Underground should first start with the patrons.
Until the weather permits patrons to eat outside, there is little students can do to unclog The Underground. There are, however, little things they can do to make everyone's experience at The Underground more enjoyable.
Lone students sitting at a table for four is a common sight, as are people simply passing time at a table reading or doing a crossword puzzle.
They should start by making an effort to be courteous to their fellow students.
If this is you, be mindful that there is a library conveniently located across the way, or be open to meeting new students and sharing your not-so-crowded table with a couple of strangers.
Responsibility should also be assumed by Dining Services, which needs to find a way to enforce the limit of people allowed in The Underground to make sure it is a safe environment for students.

W When our parents were in college, the sight of an obese person
This connection is no coincidence. As author Michael Pollan frankly put in an interview with Christian Science Monitor, "We are subsidizing obesity."
The National Institute of Health found that 64.5 percent of Americans are overweight and nearly a third of the population is clinically obese.
With numbers like these, the argument that individual irresponsibility or lack of self-control is the sole cause of the obesity epidemic would be irrational. Although there is certainly some individual fault, America's eating problem can be seen in the center aisles of the everyday grocery store and the absurd low prices of fast food items.
Although these numbers are already staggering, the country is only getting fatter. By 2015, 75 percent of Americans are expected to be overweight and 41 percent obese according to the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health.

sion. Now, though, crop subsidies serve a different purpose.
Today, the most highly subsidized crop is corn. Corn subsidies jumped from around $2.5 in 2004 to more than $9 billion dollars in the past two years. As a result, junk food products containing subsidized-corn ingredients are extremely cheap. This skews the food market for costumers to purchase unhealthy foods.
Anyone gulping a Coke, biting into a KFC drumstick, munching on a Twinkie or partaking in all three, is ingesting some form of processed corn. Among the most lethal—and popular—of the corn concoctions is high-fructose corn syrup. This serves as a fatty sweetener found in soft drinks, yogurts, cookies, salad dressing and countless other products.
Meanwhile, vegetables and other healthy selections in the grocery store are either imported from foreign countries or their producers receive little to no aid
from the government.
The prices tell the story. For low-income families, the rational choice among the grocery aisles would be the cheap, less-healthy foods instead of expensive vegetables. Not surprisingly, poverty is one of the most prominent indicators for higher obesity rates
Food production companies catering to the fast food industry use subsidized corn to feed their animals because it's cheap. In turn, fast food companies use subsidized ingredients to create food-like items on the dollar menu.
Although many of these junk-food items may seem cheap at first, we are all paying the price. With cancers, diabetes, heart disease, and countless other health problems that arise from an unhealthy diet, it is estimated that we are paying more than $75 billion a year because of our poor eating habits.
Taxpayers are paying corporations to cook for us. Consequently, companies have created a system that provides extremely cheap items containing three ingredients that our bodies are hardwired to love: salt, sugar and fat. We are all getting sick because of it.

Where are Internet borders?
The recent "Google versus China" affair revealed two things to the world.
First, it is apparently illegal in China to give flowers without a permit, as wreaths left on the doorsteps of Google China were deemed an "illegal flower tribute" and were taken away by Chinese police.
The second revelation is something altogether more serious than contraband tulips: It is the state of constant warfare that exists in cyberspace, penetrating private industries and governments around the world.
Quite honestly, it is hard to believe a country with such tight control over the Web that searches for "Tiananmen Square" come up blank would allow independent breaches of cybersecurity to originate within its borders.
The Chinese government has denied involvement in the hacking attacks targeted toward Google and the Gmail accounts of human rights activists. Despite this, multiple cyber-security analysts still claim the Chinese government, either directly or through a proxy, is responsible for these attacks.
Google originally opened its Chinese operations under the caveat that it would help the government to strangle the free-flow of information on the Internet. However, in reaction to the recent attacks, Google reversed its policy of allowing China to censor search results on its engine. It also threatened to pull its operations out of the country if China refused to cooperate.
Though Google's turnaround in policy is an impressive show of support for human rights and freedom of speech, what the entire affair should do is make us reconsider what we call "war"
During the last few years, multiple computer attacks have resulted in the theft of precious data from U.S. national security institutions. Violations include the Pentagon, national laboratories such as Sandia and companies such as Lockheed Martin.

So at what point do we call it a "war?"
Though it is only publicly suspected that China is to blame, there is enough evidence to assume Chinese military operations have stolen U.S. security secrets.
Though war with China would never be a good thing, it is highly unlikely that our two countries would ever come to blows. We need to show them that we don't take these attacks lightly. Attacks on our digital infrastructure should be handled as seriously as those against the homeland
The U.S. is in need of a serious investment in its cybersecurity, but that's only one part of the problem. The issue is not only confined to the U.S. and China, but it needs to be dealt with by the international community as a whole.
In 2007, the entire governmental and economic infrastructure of Estonia, a country once lauded for advancements in e-government, was shut down by Russian attacks. These attacks came either officially or through independent groups working for the government. Similar denial-of-service attacks against Georgia preceded the 2008 Russian invasion. If shutting down an entire country by force isn't an act of war, I'm not sure where we draw the line
While we laugh about "illegal flower tributes" and praise Google's moral integrity, we should also be concerned with the changing nature of war and how the U.S. can meet the cybersecurity challenges it faces.

FACEOFF: Third person references
BY SARAH CHAMP
---
Con
Third person is what it's all about. If Sarah's parents had wanted her to blend into the sea of first person pronoun-ers in her 300-person lecture class, they would have named her "I" or "me"; Professors don't know one "I" from the other 299.
First person speech is as out of style as the fanny pack. Just as some try to hang on to the outdated fanny by throwing it over a shoulder and calling it a "roo" people just can't seem to let go of the first person pronouns. Sarah has moved on.
Sarah has emerged from monotony with omniscient narration of her own life. Narcissism is in for 2010.
Take it from Sarah, the 1990s called and it wants its grammar back.

H has a third person reference ever sounded anything but ridiculous?
Before using a third person reference, consider the message you are sending to others about yourself. If you consider yourself important enough to drop the usual first person "I" and replace it with your name when speaking, others are likely to consider you pompous. You'll probably receive several eye rolls and mockery as a result. It's doubtful friends will soon let you forget it.
If you need a modern example to understand the silliness of third person references, look no further than the reality-hit Jersey Shore. "The Situation" loves talking about "The Situation." But everyone except "The Situation" thinks "The Situation" is a tool, just sayin'.

visitors, the Tigers caught a break that summarizes Sutherland's recent performances.
Just when all the momentum seemed to be swinging toward the
Missouri'sJessra Johnson missed a baseline jump shot and sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland leaped to corral the rebound. But instead of making the catch, she juggled the ball before dropping it.
Then the 6-foot-2 forwardarched her back, extended her arms and reached between her feet to secure the possession, only to be usurped by Missouri guard Toy Richbow.
Like a thief ready to escape with her prize, Richbow dashed away from Sutherland, seemingly to run a new play with a fresh shot clock.
After losing the rebound, Sutherland took her eye off the ball and fumed in frustration. In turn, Johnson, the player Sutherland was assigned to guard, scored an open layup.
"Aishah let her feel like she was playing horse," coach Bonnie
Henrickson said. "She's more athletic and explosive and should be able to sit underneath Johnson and force a tough two."
Instead of Kansas jumping out to a 9-3 lead and perhaps setting the game's tone much sooner, Sutherland's blu d e r brought the score to 7-5 and balanced
a previously uneven momentum scale.
"What we do is about habits. It will either raise your play or cripple you."
Henrickson quickly took her out of the game in favor of Smith.
"She needed me to regroup and sit down so she could tell me what was going wrong." Sutherland said.

The Jayhawks soon went on a 10-0 run and pulled out a narrow victory, but the sporadic holes of the defense lingered. While one play never equates to an entire game's story, Sutherland's blunder served as a glaring microcosm to her recurring defensive lanses.
"Aishah is a tough player, but sometimes she gets lackadaisical," Smith said.
Despite a bevy of uncontested
Coach
held the Tigers to just 21-of-59 shooting and 3-of-16 3-pointers.
Yet Johnson, Sutherland's defensive assignment, managed to stand out as the exception.
She finished with sixteen points,
seven rebounds and four assists.
Minor miscues that have hobbled Kansas' defense, like Sutherland's missed rebound, cannot be quantified. But they have continuously popped up this season.
"She hasn't practiced well. It's a recipe to play poorly." Henrickson said. "What we do is about habits. It will either raise your play or cripple you."
Sometimes the biggest plays, or lack thereof, don't show up in the box score.

- were second through fourth.
The other three Division 1 teams with just one loss — Villanova, Syracuse and Kentucky had a deficit.

I last week but dropped to fourth after losing to South Carolina, its first loss of the season. The Wildcats (20-1) had one first-place vote.
Kansas fell from No. 1 to third after losing at Tennessee. Since then, the Jayhawks have won six straight, including Saturday's 81-79 overtime victory at Kansas State.
Kansas coach Bill Self said now that conference races are under way, it will be hard for any team to hold on for long at the top.
"There could be a new No. 1 next week, and the week after," he said. "Because when you play road league games, people are going to lose. It's not a major upset. We won the national championship and lost three league games in five games. But Id rather play like a No. 1-ranked team than be ranked No. 1. Hopefully, we can do that."
Michigan State was fifth, followed by West Virginia, Georgetown, Purdue and Texas, which dropped from sixth to ninth. The Longhorns (18-3) were No. 1 for two weeks before dropping to sixth last week. Their 80-77 overtime loss to Baylor on Saturday was their third in four games.
Duke and Kansas State tied for 10th.
Butler and Northern Iowa returned to the poll this week, replacing Connecticut and UAB.
Mississippi.
BYU was 12th followed by Ohio State, Tennessee, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Vanderbilt, Temple and Baylor.
Butler (18-4) was 11th in the preseason poll but dropped out for five weeks. The Bulldogs have won 10 straight games and are 11-0 in the Horizon League.
Northern Iowa (19-2) moved into the rankings two weeks ago at No. 20 and then dropped out after losing to Wichita State and ending a 15-game winning streak. The Panthers are 10-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
The last five ranked teams were Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh, Butler, Northern Iowa and
Connecticut (13-8) fell out from 19th after losing to Providence and Marquette this week. The Huskies, who were 12th in preseason Top 25 and reached as high as No. 10, are 2-2 since coach Jim Callhoun took an indefinite leave of absence for undisclosed medical reasons.
UAB (18-3) was 25th last week, but the Blazers dropped out following a 74-65 double-overtime loss at Texas-El Paso on Saturday. UAB was ranked for one week earlier in the season.
Villanova and Michigan State, which both returned the bulk of their teams from last season, are third and fifth, respectively. Neither defending champion North Carolina (13-8) nor Connecticut, which both saw their rosters gutted by graduation and players leaving early for the NBA, received a single vote this week.
The teams that comprised last season's Final Four are split in their poll success this season.

Davis tallied her first career double-double with 10 points and a career high 10 rebounds in Wednesday's victory against Colorado.
She scored a career high 20 points, snagged nine rebounds and converted all eight of her free throw attempts in Saturday's victory at Missouri.
The Houston, Tex., native has scored double figures in four of the past five games since being inserted into the starting lineup. Davis' timely emergence has softened the blow of the injury to freshman guard Angel Goodrich.

Kobe gets Lakers' scoring mark in loss to Grizzlies
NBA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEMPIHS, Tenn. — Kobe Bryant scored 44 points, passing Jerry West as the Los Angeles Lakers' career scorer, but it wasn't enough as the Memphis Grizzlies got 22 points and 17 rebounds from Zach Randolph to defeat the Lakers 95-93 on Monday night.
Rudy Gav led Memphis with 25 points, and his 3-pointer with 29.5 seconds left helped Memphis end its two-game losing streak.
Ron Artest's 3-point attempt from the right side bounced high off the rim as the horn sounded.
snapping the Lakers' four-game winning streak.
Bryant passed West's mark on a breakaway dunk in the third quarter. Bryant made 16 of 28 shots, including 4 of 7 outside the arc. Artest added 18 points, while Pau Gasol had 10 points.
Lester Hudson had 13 points for Memphis, and Marc Gasol finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds for Memphis.
While Bryant got the franchise record for scoring, the loss prevented Lakers coach Phil Jackson from passing Pat Riley as the winningest coach in regular-season games for
Los Angeles. The two are tied at 533.
The game was tied at 88, when Memphis ran the shot clock to near the end before Randolph made a 22-footer for a 90-88 lead with 1:08 left. His two free throws extended the lead to 92-88. Bryant scored on a drive before Gay's 3-pointer with 29.5 seconds left gave Memphis a 95-90 lead, and the Grizzlies held on.
Memphis got an unexpected offensive boost from Hudson, the rookie shooting guard who was picked up Jan. 8 off waivers from the Celtics.
Hudson had 11 points — his career high — in the second quarter as Memphis extended the lead to 11 before carrying a 52-50 lead into the half as the Lakers outscored Memphis 11-2 to close the half.
Memphis extended the lead to 11 again at the start of the third quarter as the Lakers missed eight of their first nine shots. Meanwhile, Randolph and Gasol were effective inside.
But the Lakers narrowed the deficit again. Bryant's dunk to pass West's mark in the third quarter was part of a stretch where Los Angeles closed the quarter on an 18-6 run.
Athletics obtains local indoor court
TENNIS
The University of Kansas Athletics Department bought the First Serve Tennis Facility and will rename it the Jayhawk Tennis Facility.
"It is a great opportunity for us and the athletic department," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "It is a good way to start off the new year and get things going."
They bought the facility from the founder and owner, Mike Elwell for $3.1 million.
"The owner wanted to sell, so it made sense for us to purchase it because it is a good tennis facility and it provides a home for the team in good weather and bad," Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director, said.
This facility has been home to Kansas' tennis team practices and home matches since 2006 when Kansas Athletics Inc. entered into a contractual relationship with Elwell, Before that relationship, the team practiced as far away as Topeka or Kansas City for indoor courts.
"I think it will enhance the quality of our program, and we will be able to accommodate our
athletes," Hall-Holt said.
Leading up to the acquisition of First Serve, Kansas Athletics funded additions to the building including workout facilities and a locker room for the team, spectator viewing, along with updating some of the indoor and outdoor courts.
"I am excited about it and anxious to make it an exciting college venue," Hall-Holt said. "We can put our own flavor with what we want to do inside to showcase current and former athletes, male and female."
Over the next couple of months the department will discuss more additions.
"It was a well-run facility and we want to continue that," Marchiony said. "We always want to improve it though."
The other 150 members of First Serve will be welcome at the new facilities with their memberships continuing along with the staff staying in place.
"We are going to do whatever we can to make sure the club remains a viable indoor tennis facility for both KU and the tennis players of Lawrence," Marchiony said.

Louisville hands UConn latest loss
— Kathleen Gier
Jerry Smith added 14 points while Samardo Samuels chipped in 13 points as the Cardinals (14-8,5-4 Big East) bounced back from a potentially devastating loss at West Virginia on Saturday with arguably their biggest win of the season.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Edgar Sosa scored 15 points and handed out eight assists to lead Louisville past reeling Connecticut 82-69 on Monday night.
Louisville never trailed and
built a 19-point lead early in the second half before holding off a couple of mild runs by the Huskies.
Jerome Dyson led UConn (13-9, 3-6) with 18 points and Stanley Robinson had 14 points and 11 rebounds but the Huskies fell to 2-3 without coach Jim Calhoun, who is on indefinite medical leave. The Huskies have lost six of their last eight overall.
UConn shot just 38 percent from the field and turned the ball over 18 times.

MONARCH
In this Nov. 17, 2000 file photo, former Negro League baseball player Buck O'Neil, center, signs a baseball for fellow player Johnny Washington at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Mo. Three and a half years after the death of museum founder and ambassador Buck O'Neil, the museum is finding itself on shaky financial ground.
BASEBALL HISTORY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANAS CITY, Mo. — The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a unique window into a vital chapter of American history that the late Buck O'Neil helped open 20 years ago, could be in trouble.
Museum in financial mess
What's more, the recession has cut deeply into donations. After posting its first loss two years ago of about $30,000, the museum is looking at what one staffer termed "a monster loss" that could approach a quarter of a million dollars when the final accounting for 2009 is complete. For a relatively small museum that has always depended on the kindness of others, $200,000 is seismic.
Attendance and revenues are down, and a decision by new management to distance itself from O'Neil has splintered many of its most loyal supporters.
Much of the revenue loss is
traceable to a drop in licensing revenue. No one is predicting the museum's imminent demise, but everyone agrees the trend must be reversed.
"For museums all over the country, dollars are becoming hard to find," said Greg Baker, who took over as executive director a little
more than a year ago. "We are challenged by that. We've got to raise money to keep going and if we don't, we'll end up closing our doors."
If it shuts down,the country will lose the
long and painful march toward equality.
O'Neil, atwo-two NegroLeagues batting champion and longtime
"We've got to raise money to keep going, and if we don't, we'll end up closing our doors."
"This place is cherished by too many people to let that happen," historian and filmmaker Ken Burns said. "It would be a cultural tragedy."

only museum dedicated exclusively to black baseball's unique contribution to American culture and the vital role those men played in the
manager of the Kansas City Monarchs died three and a-ha-lal years ago at 94. Extraordinarily charismatic, he crisscrossed the country the last 15 years of his eventful life, spinning entertaining tales of long gone African-American stars while making friends and raising money for the museum.
REED (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
on a basketball game a player can make.
Sophomore forward Marcus Morris said he hadn't had a chance to speak to Reed about the play, but said before Monday's practice that it was great defense at the end of regulation.
"Maybe, if he hadn't stolen that, we might have lost," Morris said. "That was just great by Tyrel of not giving up."
Self said Reed's slap came at at the most crucial part of the game, making it noteworthy. Though he said he didn't want to minimize the effect of Collins' game-sealing basket in overtime.
"At least we had a one point lead when Sherron did that," Self said. "So that was as big a play as anyone made the entire game."

"As a university, for me, KU is the best in America," Khanesvakava said.
Khanewskaya decided that she didn't want to play professionally in Russia despite winning the National Russian Tournament and coming in fourth at the Championship of Samara U18 Regional. She wanted to go to a university and play tennis while getting an education after finishing high school with a 4.0 GPA.

Jayhawks to play televised game
The Jayhawks will be featured in one of the six games in the package when they travel to Stillwater to take on Oklahoma State on Saturday, May 1 at 2 p.m.
Yesterday, the Big 12 announced its 2010 television schedule, which will air nationally on Fox Sports Net.
The game marks the fourth straight year that Kansas will make an appearance on national television.
Team ranked in preseason polls
The baseball team has already begun to garner some national attention, earning a ranking from two publications and being selected for a national television appearance.
Rivals.com lists the Jayhawks at No.25 in their preseason top 25, while the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association (NCBWA) ranks them at No.33 in their own preseason poll.
- Kansas joins Texas at the only other Big 12 team ranked by the Rivals poll; the Longhorns tabbed as No. 1 in the nation. In the NCBWA poll, the Jayhawks were slotted behind three other conference opponents: Texas (No.1). Oklahoma (No.25) and Texas A&M (No.28).

Pro Bowl flawed,but still fun
MORNING BREW
As a junkie of all things NFL, I usually find my passion for football at odds with the Pro Bowl.
BY BEN WARD
bward@kansan.com
twitter.com/bm_dub
This year's game had me less enthusiastic than ever. Everything about it had me moaning and groaning, even going as far to question whether the star-studded contest should cease to exist. Both the experimental move from Honolulu to Miami, and the League's decision to play it a week before (as opposed to a week after) the Super Bowl seemed like desperate attempts to increase viewership.
In the MLB, of course, the game actually has a distinct
And no, we're not quite talking Shane Falco-esque substitutes, but there were seemingly far too many participants who weren't voted in. Because their teams will play in the Super Bowl next weekend, none of the 14 Colts or Saints Pro Bowlers took part in the game; meaning Drew Brees and Peyton Manning in street clothes as spectators. And due to injuries and other reasons, many more players stayed home, including (gasp!) Brett Favre.
Oh, and let's not forget about all the replacement players.

impact on the season, as the winning league earns home field advantage in the World Series. In the NBA, while their contest doesn't carry the same reward, fans can still rejoice at the bevy of alley-oops and behind the back passes. Same for the NHL, where seeing the best scorers in the league glide up and down the ice is a treat all its own.
Arguably, the style of play in the NFL is least translatable to the All-Star Game format; football is a brutal, hard-hitting sport. Guys aren't trying to blow out a knee in an exhibition contest, so vital elements of the game are missing; for example, offensive and defensive line-play is virtually non-existent, and defensive backs aren't allowed to press coverage
check that, enjoyable.
In spite of my cynicism, I decided to flip on Sunday night's Pro Bowl anyway. And to my surprise, it was watchable —
Without the laundry list of elite quarterbacks, guys like Matt Schaub and David Garrard stepped up and delivered strikes down the field for huge touchdown passes. Many players were mid-up (perhaps my favorite technological inclusion to the NFL), allowing viewers to listen in on the huddle, or stare in amazement as defensive signal-callers like Ray Lewis barked out orders.
Most of all, the game showed fans that the players still care. Cameras captured guys on the sidelines laughing and joking with one another, and replacement or not, they were all simply happy to be there. And as long as it matters to them, it's still of value to us fans.

"It's pretty cool," he said of the award. "It definitely helps. The guys on the team have helped me obtain that achievement. It just finally nice to start playing better."
On the season, Aldrich is averaging 11.6 points and 10.3 rebounds with 3.6 blocks. He has nine double-doubles on the season, including three in his past three games.

"I started out real slow for quite a while," Aldrich said. "But now I'm starting to get my feet back under me and starting to get more confidence."

BY GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Pastors have long competed with the NFL on Sundays, but this season a hipster megachurch is turning the tables with a 30-second ad that could muscle its way into that all holiest of sporting events: the Super Bowl.
Mosaic, a 3,000-member mega-church, is one of six finalists in the Doritos" Crash the Super Bowl" challenge with a lighthearted spoof that plays off the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
If the church's ad, titled "Casket," is among the top three vote-getters in an online playoff, it will air on Feb 7 during the Super Bowl. If the commercial ranks in the top three most-popular ads among viewers, it could win its creators either $400,000, $600,000 or $1 million.
Another more serious religious message planned during the game has caused a stir: A pro-life ad paid for by the conservative group Focus on the Family is expected to feature University of Florida football star Tim Tebow speaking about how his
For Erwin McManus, Mosaic's lead pastor, the ad competition represents a chance to make his faith relevant to one of the largest TV audiences in the nation when viewers least expect it — and are least likely to tune out.
mother gave birth to him despite doctor's recommendations that she should have an abortion.
"We're not trying to use Doritos to propagate a message, but I think we want people to know that we have a sense of humor, that it's OK to laugh," McManus said. "So much of what comes out of the faith community seems so dour and somber and we want to say, 'Hey, we're real people. You can be a person of faith and really enjoy life and laugh."
But the LA church, a congregation full of hip twenty-somethings who mostly work in the film industry and make short films for a hobby, is taking a different tack. They were careful to stick to the quirky, slapstick-style humor that's expected by Super Bowl fans.
With its talent base in entertainment, the church is at the vanguard of a growing Christian movement focused on injecting faith-based themes into the plot lines of mainstream TV shows, Hollywood movies and video games that aren't explicitly Christian, or advertised as such.
Movies like "The Passion of the Christ" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" several years ago marked early successes, but the recent blockbuster "The Blind Side" — which wasn't perceived as an overtly Christian film — really made Hollywood take note, said Phil
Cooke, a Christian producer, film-maker and author.
The Doritos spot, while just 30 seconds, is part of that bigger push, Cooke said.
The tongue-in-cheek ad opens on a funeral scene and then cuts to a young man alive in a closed casket. His body is covered in Doritos and he is watching the Super Bowl on a tiny TV while chomping on chips as mourners sob outside. Two friends, who are in on the prank, snicker that by faking his death, their friend will get a week off work and an endless supply of his favorite snack.
But the man gets excited when his team makes a big play and jostles the casket, which tips over to reveal him inside with a pile of crushed chips.
After an awkward pause, his buddy jumps up and nervously exclaims to the shocked assemblage: "Aaaah! It's a miracle!"
If it wins, Mosaic's ad could do more for the church after Super Bowl Sunday than it does in the 30 seconds of air time. Fans remember and recount their favorite commercials long after the clock runs out and the buzz around Mosaic's ad could amp up because of its genesis, said Mark Labberton, a professor of preaching at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif.

Sherron Collins' layup sealed the 81-79 victory for Kansas in overtime against Kansas State Saturday. But he might not have had the opportunity to do that if it weren't for junior guard Tyrel Reed's defensive play at the end of regulation.
With the game tied 69-69 and about 10 seconds to go in regulation, the Jayhawks had the ball to take the final shot. Collins tried to drive inside the lane but met a double team, stumbled and threw the ball back to Kansas State.
With just under four seconds left, K-State freshman guard Dominique Sutton had time to sprint down the court for the game winning basket.
"I was nervous," junior center Cole Aldrich said. "He was running down and I was like, oh please, somebody get the ball and run the clock out."
The Jayhawks outscored the Wildcats 12-10 in overtime.
Staying with Sutton the whole way, Reed slapped the ball away from Sutton, right when he went up for a shot, sending the game into overtime.
Coach Bill Self said he didn't know how big Reed's play was at the time because he was on the opposite end of the floor when it happened. When he got home, he saw game highlights on television and saw how significant the play was.

Lesser-known athlete garners recognition
other Kansas athletes might be getting more attention, but no one is
as impressive as middle distance runner Lauren Bonds.
At the Jayhawk Classic Saturday, Bonds broke an 18-year-old school record when she ran a 9:30.9 in the 3,000 meter.
Bonds' record setting performance was also an NCAA provisional qualifying mark.
Remarkably, this was only another layer on Bonds already historic career at Kansas. She already owns two other Kansas track and field records.
During the 2009 indoor season, Bonds set the mile record at the ISU Classic with a time of 4:43.74. At the 2009 Big 12 Championships, she set the 1,000 meter record with a time of 2:46.60.
Bonds gives fans a reason to spread their enjoyment of successful Kansas athletics around to other lesser publicized programs. She has been turning heads at track and field meets for years but has yet to receive the local recognition she deserves. Bonds is the best athlete at Kansas no one is talking about.
Last fall during the 2009 cross country season, Bonds established a legacy described as "one of the greatest individual seasons by a KU women's runner in school history"
BY MAX VOSBURGH myosburgh@kansan.com
by the KU Athletics Track and Field department.
There had not been a female athlete from Kansas to compete in the NCAA Cross Country National Championships in 16 years since Bonds did last November. Bonds finished 61st overall. She was selected to the All-Big 12 team for the second consecutive year, becoming the first woman in school history to do so.
It may be hard to believe that someone who holds three indoor track and field school records is able to concentrate much on schoolwork but Bonds' academic resume is just as impressive as her athletic accomplishments.
At the conclusion of the 2009 cross country season, Bonds was named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team for the third consecutive season. She will take her degree

Student senator Tom Cox has authored a bill to be debated this evening that would

make "The Colbert Report" host "honorary student body present for life," provided he came to campus to fulfill the role.
"This would be a great way to get the University of Kansas some positive mention, as well as getting — potentially — Stephen Colbert to come to the University," Cox, a graduate senator from Shawnee, said.
EMPLOYMENT WOES
Cox's bill is the latest of several worldwide attempts to get Colbert's attention. In 2007, the show featured the city of Oshawa, Ontario, after Mayor John Gray lost a bet to Colbert. When Colbert's preferred hockey team beat the Oshawa Generals, Gray, according to the terms of the bet, declared a city-wide Stephen Colbert Day. More recently, Colbert's show sponsored the U.S. Speed-skating team. The "Colbert Nation" logo will be featured on the team's uniforms at the upcoming Winter Olympics.
Cox said he wrote the bill out of appreciation for Colbert's work and to generate interest in Student Senate. He said a bill that could bring Colbert and his comedic brand of patriotism to campus would draw more attention than a bill on campaign accountability procedure.

Job search a hardship for nursing grads
A high demand for nurses doesn't help graduates find jobs
BY JENNY TERRELL jterrell@kansan.com
Aubrey Heckman struggled to find a nursing job after graduating from the University in May. She was unemployed for almost three months, but spent the entire time searching for a job. Once she got her nursing license, she was unable to work as an intern or a CNA because she was overqualified.
"I thought maybe I should go
work at Family Video or Jimmy John's — anywhere. It is kind of embarrassing for the school to have nurses working at those places because they couldn't get hired." Heckman said. Heckman was finally hired at Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo., in August. She took the first job she was offered, she said.
Ann Hartley, associate director of the University Career Center, said that nursing, along with most health care positions, continues to be a field of high demand, but that graduating nurses were struggling to find jobs in this economy. Rita Clifford, associate dean of student affairs for the KU School of Nursing, said that nur-
ing jobs were available, but that students might not receive their first choice.
Marilyn Obee, manager of nurse recruitment at Truman Medical
Center, said she understood the anxiety that graduating nurses were experiencing. Last year, Truman Medical Center hired 50 nursing graduates
"You don't want a hospital full of new grads." Obee said. "Until you've had at least a year of experience, you aren't really comfortable in your nursing practice."
"I thought maybe I should go work at Family Video or Jimmy John's — anywhere."
This year, the center plans to hire only 10. Obee said Truman needed experienced nurses but also had to balance new nurses and veterans.
AUBREY HECKMAN Nursing graduate
New nurses have to go through four to six months of training. This can be expensive for the hospital because nurses in training are
paid but unable to care for their own patients. Obee said training a nurse cost roughly $25,000. At Truman, the starting wages for
new nurses vary between $20.50 and $21.50 per hour.
Marianna Reasons graduated from the University in May and works at KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. While in school, she completed her practicum at St. Joseph Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo. The medical center offered her a job, but she was unable to accept the position because she did not pass her board exam. When she did pass the exam, the position was terminated and she began her job search. Reasons' husband was able to keep the couple's finances under control while she searched for jobs.

Resigning owners could mean end of The Casbah
anniev@kansan.com
A downtown organic market and cafe's fate is unclear as it enters negotiations with prospective buyers this week. The Casbah Market, 803 Massachusetts St., sells vegetarian, organic and local food and also houses Nice Cafe, a vegetarian restaurant.
Casey Millstein, one of the owners, said that she like the market to stay open downtown, but that she and her partners would no longer be the owners.
"We kind of decided it's time for us to move on." Millstein said.
"We've done what we can here, Some of us are going to grad school and getting married, so that's why we're doing our best to pass the torch. We're just out of time."
The Casbah Market has been open for two years. Millstein said she was still a student at the University when she and the other two owners, her brother and sister-in-law, began renovations on the building. She said that they opened the market and restaurant to offer a healthy place to grab lunch and that it was convenient for downtown residents who could shop within walking distance.
Rebekah Horton has worked at
The Casbah since August and said the employees found out about the closing three weeks ago. She said she was sad that Lawrence would not only be losing a downtown grocery store, but one that was organic and local.
Horton said she was also sad to leave the people she worked with and the customers.
"I just moved here this last summer and I've met a lot of really great people just from seeing them in here," Horton said. "A lot of people come in here every day because they either work or live downtown."

Military officials call for end to 'don't ask, don't tell' policy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It's time to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and allow gay troops to serve openly for the first time in history, the nation's top defense officials declared Tuesday, with the chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff proclaiming that service members should not be forced to "lie about who they are."
However, both Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen asked for a year to study the impact before Congress would lift the controversial policy.
Reversing the Pentagon's 17-year-old policy toward gays "comes down to integrity," for the military as an institution as well as the service members themselves,
Mullen told a Senate hearing, Unpersuaded, several Republican senators said they would oppose any congressional effort to repeal the policy.
The Pentagon announced an 11-month review of how the ban could be lifted, as President Barack Obama has said he will work to do. But there is no deadline for ending the policy that dates to President Bill Clinton's tenure and that gay rights advocates are pressing to overturn.
In the meantime, Gates announced plans to loosen enforcement rules for the policy, which says, in essence, that gays may serve so long as they keep their sexuality private.
Obama has called for repeal but has done little in his first year in office to advance that goal. If he
succeeds, it would mark the biggest shake-up to military personnel policies since President Harry S. Truman's 1948 executive order integrating the services.
Homosexuality has never been openly tolerated in the American military, and the 1993 policy was intended to be a compromise that let gay men and women serve so long as they stayed silent about their sexuality. Clinton had wanted to repeal the ban entirely, but the military and many in Congress argued that doing so would dangerously disrupt order.
Repealing the ban would take an act of Congress, something that does not appear close to happening.
Since "don't ask, don't tell" was established, much has changed. Five states and the District of Columbia
have adopted laws permitting marriage of gay couples, while nine other states have granted similar rights to gay domestic partners.
The public's attitude toward gays and lesbians also has undergone a significant shift. A Pew poll last year indicated that 59 percent of Americans favor allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military, up from 52 percent in 1994.
On Tuesday, several Democratic senators praised Mullen and Gates for what they said was a courageous stance, but a number of Republicans spoke strongly against the idea of a repeal.
Gates drew unusually pointed criticism from Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee for saying the review would examine how, not whether, to repeal the ban.

NURSING (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"It wasn't too rough of a deal, but it did change our plans." Reasons said.
Despite the difficulties Heckman and Reasons faced, Clifford said there was still a great need for nurses.
Clifford said that the number of applications to the school had not declined and that applicants were turned down each semester. This year 598 applications were submitted, which was an increase from five years ago when the school received 491 applications. Clifford said the school admitted 120 students last year and would likely admit the same number this year, but the final number has yet to be released.
"In the past students didn't have any trouble finding jobs because each student would receive five to 10 offers." Clifford said. "In this last year that has changed a little bit because of the economy."
She said although experienced nurses were returning to work and hospitals were not opening new units, students were still able to find jobs. It just might not be their first choice.
Clifford also said KU nursing students were well prepared to enter the professional field because in their last semester their
clinical practice course required them to gradually take on a full load of patients. Although this course does not replace the orientation training nurses receive in the first few months on the job, it shows students how the particular unit functions. Clifford said orientation was different for each hospital and therefore could not be replaced.
Katie Morrissey, a senior from Overland Park, is "freaking out" about finding a job after May graduation. When she began at the nursing school, she heard nurses were in high demand everywhere.
Morrissie wants to work in a NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and said she had a better shot than most because she was doing her clinicals at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Morrissey said she was glad she was getting experience in the area of her top interest because NICU was a competitive specialty unit.
"It is definitely a lot different than everyone says it's going to be," Morrissey said.
Registered nursing is listed at number five of 50 jobs with the most openings by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
COLBERT (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Not everyone in Student Senate is laughing, though.
Eric Foss, a law senator from Overland Park, said he viewed Cox's bill as merely entertainment that gives a disrespectful image of Student Senate.
"It makes Senate look like a joke, makes it look like we really don't take our jobs seriously, which is the furthest thing from the truth," he said.
In an effort to appeal to his opposition, Cox will re-write the bill as a resolution, which would still declare Colbert as president in name without actually legislating it into rulebooks.
"Senate's about having fun, being about the students, and doing things for the students." Cox said.
"I'm just doing something a little more unorthodox that's still for the students and benefits them."
Mason Heilman, student body president and a senior from Lawrence, said the resolution was a good way for senators to step back from the seriousness of Student Senate and have some fun.
"I think sometimes people get too caught up in Student Senate," he said. "As long as it's not taking up too much time or distracting too much from our other work, I'm all for it."
The full Senate will vote on the resolution at 6:30 p.m. in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.

CASBAH
I definitely made a lot of friends from customers."
(CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Horton said she thought the customers would miss The Casaball Jamaican-style turnovers, called patties, the most, if the cafe closed. She said the patries were similar to an empanada, but with a whole-wheat crust filled with tofu, vegetables and beans. She said the dish had always been very popular with the customers.
Tim Bartlett, a senior from Topeka, said he was annoyed that the Casbah Market could be closing.
Millstein said if the Casbah Market closes, she'd like to find some way to continue Nice Café or at least to sell the natties.
"I think that the services that they provided created a great local atmosphere about Mass Street that a lot of other stores can't provide," Bartlett said.
The Casbah Market also houses Wonder Fair art gallery, which is under different ownership. Millstein said it would remain open, but probably move to a different location on Massachusetts Street if the Casbah Market closed.

For several months, the University has been in the midst of a search for a new provost, executive vice chancellor, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and deans of the Schools of Law and Music. In the quest to fill these key positions, the state of the economy as well as the University's decreasing budget should be key aspects in determining their salaries.
The Kansas Board of Regents said Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's salary is a maximum of $425,000 a year. This is almost $85,000 more than her predecessor, Robert Hemenway, who held the position as head of the University for 14 years.
With Gray-Little's 10 years in administrative work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and strong resume, it's clear that she deserves adequate compensation for her qualifications. Gray-Little holds an essential position, but in a time when the state is cutting the University's budget, it must be asked if almost half a million dollars a year is a realistic salary for one employee.
The provost is second in the administrative line to the chancellor. The deans are responsible for the prosperity of each school and the structures and cultures they project. In the search for new hires, the University should find the
The hunt for new administrators is long and meticulous. Each search committee consists of at least 15 members from diverse areas of faculty to review the qualifications of each applicant, and the applicants should be moderately and appropriately paid given the institution's financial struggles.
The University's current budget does not have the flexibility to offer excessive salaries to new hires. According to the University employee newsletter, The Oread, class sizes are already increasing as the number of faculty decreases. Students suffer from unbalanced
student-faculty ratios. New administrators should not be enjoying thousands of dollars a year in extra income at the expense of other faculty jobs.
The job descriptions for the vacant senior positions vaguely state that, "salary will be commensurate with qualifications." Applicants should care more about the long-term success of the individual schools and the University than bargaining for their pay. In the search for these new hires, the University should be sure to hire the most qualified applicants, but be fiscally responsible when determining their salaries.

Smoking ban strips student rights
Soon tobacco users may have to look somewhere other than campus convenience.
than campus convenience stores for their nicotine fixes. In March, the Kansas Board of Regents will consider a proposal to ban the sale of tobacco products on public university campuses. KU administrators are wrong in supporting this proposal.
"Perhaps now the time has to come to take a stand and make a statement," Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in an interview with Topeka TV station KTKA. "And I see the ban probably more as a statement of the values of the University than as a way to change the nature of students' use of tobacco."
True, smoking is a destructive and addictive habit. But the University's support of a ban strikes at student rights and privileges.
The University has overstepped its role as an educational organization in supporting this ban. The University, as a tax-funded state institution, has no business having an opinion on the sale of a legal substance.
The University has justified its support of the ban as taking a stand against tobacco use.

What's more, Gray-Little said a ban would likely have little practical impact on overall student tobacco use. David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, explained that because of high prices of the tobacco products sold on campus, smokers usually bought from the unions as a last resort.

Despite the high prices, tobacco sales still provide profits for the University.
But, even with the ban, the University would still profit from tobacco; Governor Mark Parkinson has proposed raising the cigarette tax from 79 cents to $1.34 per pack.
Some supporters of the ban have said that the University should not benefit from the sale of a harmful product.
Most importantly, the ban would take away yet another choice and privilege we have as students.
Along with other proposed sales taxes, Parkinson has said the additional revenue would provide
In the fall, Student Senate rightly defeated a proposal that would have allowed searches of dorm rooms in student housing without a warrant.
To be consistent, the University should refuse any state funding resulting from cigarette taxes.
$10 million for higher education.
Now, a privilege may be taken away from students because the University wants to send "a statement."
Students must continue to fight to be treated as adults in the university setting. If we don't, one day the students who follow us will not have the rights we now take for granted.

The great American rant
In their earnest efforts to understand the populist passion sweeping the nation, the chattering classes regularly hearken back to Howard Beale's classic line in "Network:" "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
As close as the fed-up Beale came to capturing the disillusioned national mood, I find another movie reference a big more apt: "I don't know what we're yelling about!" from Brick Tambler in "Anchorman."
True, Americans are mad as hell. But, they can't quite point to what it is they're up in arms about.
Following the upset victory of Republican Scott Brown in the recent Massachusetts Senate race, pundits confidently pronounced that misreading the country's ideological pulse was what doomed the Democrats. The party may have won big in 2006 and 2008. But, in interpreting those triumphs as a mandate for bold, progressive reform, they forgot the center-right inclination of the country.
With all the indignation stoked by the Palin-Beck-Limbaugh crowd over bailouts, a federal takeover of health care and spendthrift stimulus measures, it would seem the declining fortunes of President Obama and the Democratic Party stem from unease with big government.
The Observer
So are Conservatives poised for a comeback? Not if the backdrop of 2010 is a reasoned discourse on the issues. If we've learned anything watching members of Congress being hectored by constituents to keep government out of their Medicare, it's that the political climate is far from rational. The swing against Democrats is less a repudiation of government activism and liberal reform than it is the Conservatives' success in exploiting voters' fears.
Take health care, for example. According to RealClearPolitics.com, polls find Americans opposed to the idea of the Democrats' health reform plan

by roughly 10 percent. But ask Americans about elements contained in the legislation, and you'll find markedly different results. A January CNN/Opinion Research poll found a majority of Americans support a public option. This, despite the fact that such an option was abandoned by so-called moderates who argued the plan lacked public support. With repeated right-wing talk of death panels and creeping socialism, timid Democrats began calling for a scaled-back bill.
Or consider fiscal policy. Polls show conservative efforts to taint Obama as a reckless spender have gained traction. But a December CNN poll found that Americans said by a three-to-one margin that job-creating stimulus should take precedence over spending cuts. Here's the problem: That's not a debate that Conservatives want to have. For them, it's better to simplistically boil the argument down to evil government versus virtuous free markets.
Democrats have ducked substantive debate, too. Rather than staging a spirited defense of progressive ideas—and framing the narrative to reflect the public's desire for real health care choices and government action to boost job creation—they have mostly cowered. Liberals must respond to the government-is-evil message of Conservatives with their own message, lest the public continue to vent their rage at the Democrats.
It's the narrative, stupid

When Matthew Zhang came to the United States, he didn't expect his first experience with the legal system to come so soon.
Zhang, a sophomore from Beijing, said he tried to buy a 2003 Honda Accord on eBay after he came to the U.S. in January. He paid $2,900 for the car, but a week later he realized that the car was not being sent. After talking to his friends, he decided to call the police.
"The officer told me, 'Your money is already somewhere else,'" Zhang said.
The site Zhang used wasn't really eBay — it was a replication of the website and was part of a phishing scam. Zhang is one of millions of people who have fallen for a phishing scam. According to the most recent Gartner survey, 3.2 million individuals were victims of phishing scams in the U.S. because they didn't know the warning signs. For this reason, KU Information Technology held a cybersecurity workshop Tuesday to help students avoid security threats,
including phishing scams such as Zhang's, on the Internet.
Julie Fugett, systems analyst for KU IT, said phishing scams tried to scare people into revealing personal information. Phishers pretend to be legitimate people or businesses, such as eBay, through phone, e-mail or text communications to obtain information such as bank account numbers, passwords or social security numbers — information that the legitimate businesses would already have and would not ask for.
"They hope the action you will take is to just send them the information," Fugett said.
Zhang said he had tracked the car on eBay and contacted the man who said he was the seller. The seller told him he couldn't use eBay anymore because he got a new job in Florida, so he sent Zhang e-mails with links to what was, supposedly, eBay. Zhang said he trusted eBay and wanted to buy the car quickly, so he paid for the car through the emailed links.
Fugett said KU IT holds cybersecurity workshops once or twice a semester depending on the demand.
If you suspect a scam:
Call 864-8080 or send an e-mail to abuse@ku.edu.
Fatima Blanco, a fifth-year graduate student in education from Galicia, Spain, said she attended Tuesday's workshop because she wanted to be safe while using the Internet.
"I want to learn how to be secure on the computer, surf the Internet safely and learn how to identify the websites that are safe for the computer." Blanco said.
Fugett said students should not respond to requests for their personal information through links. She said students should always type Internet addresses directly into the browser to make sure they are only putting their information into valid sites. Students should also report phishing messages they receive in their KU e-mail accounts to the KU IT Security Office.

Students challenge policies in use of StudyBlue.com
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
Denise Giannino spends up to eight hours creating a single lecture for her classes. In fall 2009, when she discovered a student had taken parts of her PowerPoint lectures and illegally uploaded them to StudyBlue.com, Giannino, an instructor of art history, felt her work had been stolen.
The site, started by two University of Wisconsin students in 2007, offers study aides submitted by students to university and high school campuses across the country.
"It was really upsetting because students participating in this site, either by uploading course materials or downloading, they are
participating in something that is unethical", Giannino said. "At the very least it violates the integrity of my class."
On its website, StudyBlue.com states that the company believes students have the right to work together
By uploading images from Giannino's PowerPoint presentations to StudyBlue without her permission, the student violated University policv.

and share lecture notes, but that "professors have the right to protect their original works"
after approaching the student in question and
asking her to remove the uploaded material, Giannino, along with other instructors, contacted KU general counsel Rose Marino for legal advice.
Marino provided the instructors with a few ways to protect their work. For example, making audio
recordings of lectures is an easy way to copyright work, Marino said.
"If they've recorded it from a form of speaking, the copyright is created in that moment." Marino said. "Then if anyone takes their work, then that's an infringement."
Haley Becker, an Overland Park senior, said she found the website only somewhat helpful. She used StudyBlue.com last semester to study flash cards for a communications course.
"I think I did well simply because I studied," Becker said. "If more students consistently used StudyBlue, it seems like it would be a source of just getting by, not actually learning."
Becker said she thought teachers had a right to their own work but that students did not use aca

Now Giannino is cautious when lecturing with PowerPoint and images and said that if a similar situation happened again, there would be consequences.

Rankings mean little to Jayhawks
No. 1 title is just a number to Kansas
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
COREY THIBODEAUX

The Jayhawks are again the No.1 team in America, but to them the ranking means as little now as it did in the preseason.
They spent the first nine weeks of the season on top of the polls until falling to Tennessee Jan. 10, Texas and Kentucky held the spot after that, but Kansas spent that time defeating tournament-caliber teams such as Baylor, Missouri and Kansas State.
"We were unproven when we started out the season and probably didn't deserve it," junior guard Tyrel Reed said. "I don't
know if we're deserving of it now. I think we are. We've had a good year."
Most of the players aren't basking in their accomplishment at this point of the season.
Ask any of the players or coaches and they will tell you the most important number is at the end of the season.
"If you're playing well, it comes with the territory," he said. "We're excited, but it's not the rankings that matter. We just want to win the league right now."
It's not something the team goes out of its way to find, either. Reed found out about the ranking only after receiving a text from a friend.
Coming into the season, Kansas coach Bill Self said, Kansas was preseason No. 1 because most of the powerhouses in 2009 lost a lot of their good players to the draft.

"We're excited, but it's not the rankings that matter. We just want to win the league right now."
"I'm really surprised the media, nationally, make a big deal about that," he said. "There could be a new number one next week or the week after."
Remembering the most recent championship season. Self mentioned a period where the 2008 team lost three out of five games in Big 12 play.
That team was only ranked as high as No. 2 until the last game of the season.

Some players said they deserved it, but at the same time, they still aren't ready to declare themselves paper champions.
"If you told me we were going to be No. 1 in April, hey, that's great," Aldrich said. "But right now, we're still a long way from achieving the goals that we want to achieve."

Turner Gill wears a crisp blue button down with a Jayhawk logo on one side. He stands in the corner of a big, open room as people walk around him and converse.
"You're always ready for Wednesday because you want to know who you got," Gill said, laughing. "You always want some more time based on the circumstances that happened when I got hired. But I'm good with the reality of where we're at."
Kansas football coach Turner Gill speaks with members of the media at the Kansas Sports Museum in Newton Sunday afternoon. The museum had its grand opening Sunday, and Gill was on hand to sign autographs and speak with the media.

At least verbally, that's the centerpiece of Gill's coaching philosophy. When talking about recruiting, he highlights relationships with parents and prospects alike. When talking about current players recruited by former coach Mark Mangino, that theme doesn't change.

Now, on national signing day for high school seniors, the relationships established by Gill and
Highlighting the relatively small class — at least as of Tuesday night — are two Missouri-based recruits. Wide receiver Keeston Terry, from Blue Springs, Mo., and running back Brandon Bourbon, from Potosi, Mo., are the only Rivals.com four-star recruits expected to sign with the Jayhawks.
Terry verbally committed late last summer when Mangino was still at the helm and has maintained
his nonbinding commitment to Kansas throughout Mangino's resignation and Gill's hiring.
After maintaining a verbal commitment to Stanford for six months, Bourbon joined Gill and his staff less than a week ago. He's rated as the nation's No. 29 running back, receiving offers from Notre Dame, Missouri and Kansas State.
Bourbon represents the other end of the recruiting world: the late-in-the-process switch.
"They really kept in close contact with him and definitely let him know that he was wanted," Mark Casey, Bourbon's high school coach, said. "They just did a good job communicating with him and not necessarily pushing him. They wouldn't even necessarily talk about football."
Bourbon's signing certainly eases the loss of two highly-touted players.
Kansas lost two four-star recruits – Independence cornerback Dave Clark and Hutchinson defensive end Geneo Grissom – after Mangino's departure. But the Jayhawks also added a handful of verbal commitments since Gill accepted the job Dec. 14.
Kansas' commitment list has
eight players from Texas, adding four wide receivers and four defensive linemen.
"Our staff has put together our needs in areas we felt that we needed," Gill said, "But again, I can't sit here and say that I know our team very, very well at this time. Next year, I'll have a better understanding of where we're at and what we need."
The circumstances certainly didn't help.
COMMENTARY
Between Mangino's resignation Dec. 3, Gill's hiring Dec. 14 and the subsequent hiring of Gill's staff Jan. 5, Kansas was dealt a short amount of time to play catch-up in the ultra competitive recruiting world.

Collins top in college basketball this season
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
nroesler@kansan.com
twitter/nroesler8
As the season progresses toward March Madness, the battle to be the best basketball player in the country wages on. Sometimes, the debate is too close to call. Sometimes, the answer leaps out at you more vibrantly than "Avatar" in 3-D.
This is the column to end the confusion. Senior guard Sherron Collins is the best player in college basketball right now.
Collins hasn't disappointed.
Kansas coach Bill Self addressed the talent and force that is Collins in a press conference Monday. He said that when he was recruiting Collins, he knew he was going to be one of the best in the country.
He has the experience, leadership, talent and aura of greatness present in someone extraordinary.
"If you study him every day in practice, the guy has unbelievable basketball savvy," Self said. "His IQ is really high. The questions that he asks make a head coach think, 'Man, he's got a point here.'"
He doesn't just motivate his teammates; he motivates the entire crowd. He silences the oppositions' stadiums, and he does it with world class sportsmanship and respect for his competition.
He has presence akin to Lebron lames.
I compare him to James because of their similar "King" like statuses when they enter an arena. Collins beckons the crowd not only to admire him while he plays, but also to actually feel what he feels. Didn't every Kansas fan watching the overtime at Kansas State feel the intensity when Collins popped off the ground and pounded his chest after making the pivotal game-changing layup?
I know I did.
Self and many elite coaches saw that potential four years ago. Self said that during Collins' freshman year, Big 12 coaches told him that "they viewed him in February as the second best player in our league behind Durant."
Kevin Durant, who is only 21, is currently only. 1 of a point behind the NBA's leading scorer, Carmelo Anthony. That is higher than both Lebron James and Kobe Bryant.
Self recruited Collins with the idea that he wasn't going to be a four-year player. He said Collins could have left for the NBA after his sophomore year if he was healthy, but knee surgery kept Collins at Kansas for another year. The following year, 2009, his love for winning and a point guard heavy draft kept him here for his senior season.
With 10 more wins this season, Collins will reach 124 wins in his career, a four-year Kansas record. And if the Jayhawks rack up 16 more wins this season, Collins could hold the NCAA record for most wins in a career. That record is currently held by three former Memphis players, but the NCAA might revoke 38 of those 137 wins for violating NCAA rules.
"There been a lot of good players here and he's going to win more games than any of them." Self said. "That, to me, is pretty strong."

THE MORNING BREW
It seems as though we've been waiting on this for some time, but now it's official Colts. Saints. Super Bowl.
Back in mid-December when both Indianapolis and New Orleans were 13-0 and running the two most explosive offenses in the league, an eventual Super Bowl between them seemed inevitable.
Since that time, the Saints had some end-of-the-regular-season hiccups, and the Colts turned down perfection for health, resting their starters and sacrificing two games in the process.
But in the postseason, both teams have lived up to the hype. After beating the Arizona Cardinals into submission and sending Kurt Warner into retirement, the Saints barely escaped an overtime shootout against the Vikings.
The Colts defeated the less-talented Baltimore Ravens and found a way to score on Rex Ryan's New York Jets, avoiding an almost impossible upset. Now it's time for the big one, and your cheering section should be plainly defined.
Unless you are from Indiana, love Peyton's Volunteers, wager serious money on the Colts or are not nothing more than a sinful or irrational person, how on earth can you root against the Saints?
We're talking about the pride and joy of a city being rebuilt and a team that has gone from the Aims (what New Orleans fans used to write on their paper bag misery masks) to the number one seed in the NFC. They've done so under the resurrecting wings of head coach and offensive mastermind Sean Payton and his shiniest toy, deadly-accurate quarterback and year-to-year MVP candidate Drew Brees.
this is a team that has served not only as a form of entertainment, but also as the sole bright spot of a city still overcoming the tragedies of Hurricane Katrina. The Saints have been New Orleans' team at a time when they were needed most. Then there's the Colts, Peyton Manning is diving his four MVP trophies as we speak. He's also got a Super Bowl ring. He's done it all before, and he's had his time to shine.
So the question arises once more.

An onslaught of instruments takes you straight to the scene of the crime against jazz conventions—distorted guitar, jangling percussion, soprano sax-blurts, steady-droning bass, shimmering keys and of course, Miles' clamoring trumpet. Featureting names such as John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, this piece could be considered Miles' boldest and most perverse work.
Miles Davis wastes no time bringing the listener into his cooky, drugged out world. The beginning of 1972 "On the Corner" sounds as though it was chopped from the middle of a dissonant funk set. The album consists of four tracks (whose titles are more themes than defini-
Far away from his "Kind of Blue" days, Miles seems to be dipping his experimental brush into the colors of the future. By no means is this a starting point for those new to Miles or even his fusion era (I'd direct you to "Bitches Brew" instead). But for those that can appreciate a sometimes difficult yet undeniably trailblazing step, this album epitomizes cool. From the bright yellow cover scattered with decals saying "Vote Miles" and "Free Me" on the outside, to the street-accessible sounds of the inside, "On the Corner" makes you proud to say that it ain't your mom and pop's funk.

Kansas State recovers from weekend loss with 76-57 win against Nebraska
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LINCOLN, Neb. — After a heart-wrenching overtime loss to archrival Kansas, Kansas State blew off some steam against Nebraska.
Denis Clemente matched his season high with five 3-pointers.
It was Kansas State's most lopsided Big 12 road win since the conference's inception in 1996-97 and its most one-sided win in Lincoln
and scored 23 points to lead the 10th-ranked Wildcats to a 76-57 victory over the overmatched Huskers Tuesday night.
since 1973. The victory took some of the edge off Saturday's 81-79 overtime home loss to a Kansas team that moved from No. 2 to No. 1 in The Associated Press poll.
"It was a tough loss, and we've still got it in our system a little bit," said Kansas State reserve forward
Jamar Samuels, who had 15 points and nine rebounds. "We felt we should have won that game, so we came in here and won this one."
The Wildeats (18-4, 5-3) were far superior athletically to the Huskers, who lost their first five Big 12 games before beating Oklahoma
on Saturday.
Nebraska scored just one field goal in the $6 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes before halftime, and that appeared to be by accident. Standhardinger was preparing to rebound Brandon Ubel's short shot when the ball glanced off his hands and went through
the hoop.
While Clemente roamed mostly free behind the 3-point line, Samuels and Sutton had their way inside: They got behind Nebraskas press for a couple of easy baskets, and they outmaneuvered the Huskers' big men for big dunks.

you come in December or January. You're probably not going to have a chance at people because you didn't have a relationship that the previous schools had"
At a time when recruiting continues to generate more media and fan attention, Gill maintains that the foundation — the barebones key — is simple.
Build relationships. Interact with coaches and families. Make you and your staff known.
It's not an easy order — in fact, it's perhaps the most difficult aspect of recruiting. And added to that difficulty is the fact that those same philosophies are generally effective only with time.
"They can see a lot of things on the Internet and with those types of things," Gill said. "But the relationships, the people — that's what defines a university and a football program."
In the past three weeks — in the home stretch of recruiting — Gill and his staff added two local prospects: Pat Lewandowski from Overland Park and Dexter McDonald from Kansas City, Mo.
Although much of Kansas' recruiting efforts center on Texas, Gill insists that the Jayhawks will also mine local prospects. Each coach will have an area of Kansas that he is responsible for recruiting.
True, Gill and his staff certainly used their limited recruiting time to target possible prospects for the upcoming season. But they also kept an eye down the road, using the time to create relationships for future seasons.
"Recruiting, as we all know, is 365 days out of the year," Gill said. "So you always are going after guys. Your number one goal is to go after the senior class, the guys that are seniors. But at the same time, we're still talking about guys for later. It's always ongoing."

Sneaking a glance at potential players
Spotlight
Keeston Terry
★★★ recruit
Terry is the fourth highest ranked player in Missouri and the 37th highest ranked player at receiver in the country. At 6 feet 2 inches, 179 lbs., Terry has average D-1 size and speed but sure hands.
Missouri has tried to swoop in and get Terry, so there is still a little uncertainty concerning today's decision.
Kansas almost lost Terry in the wake of the resignation of Mark Mangino and subsequent loss of Clint Bowen, who originally recruited Terry. Turner Gill visited Terry quickly after being announced as head coach and seems to have kept Terry on board
Terry spurned offers from Illinois, Kansas State, Nebraska, Stanford and Wisconsin.
Brandon Bourbon ★★★★ recruit
One of the most anticipated pieces of Gill's first recruiting class, Bourbon switched his commitment from Stanford to Kansas late in the process largely because of the distance. In one game, Bourbon rushed for 451 yards on nine
carries. He averaged 50.1 yards per carry.
A. G.
someone pet him.
"It was just unreal," head coach Mark Casey said. "I've never seen anything like that. Every week he was on that pace almost."
Casey said that
Bourbon drew comparisons from Stanford coaches to former Stanford running back Toby Gerhart. Gerhart finished second in the Heisman Trophy race last season.
"They talked about that a lot." Casey said. "They said he was the same type of runner as Toby, but they said he was actually a little faster than Toby."
Keba Agostinho
Katy, Texas
★★★ Defensive End
Agostinho runs a 4.7 40-yard dash, so he has the speed to sack quarterbacks but may need to add strength. He's a possible redshirt candidate and is in a similar mold to defensive end Max Onyeguleb.
Jaqwaylin Arps
★★★ Defensive end 6.3.230lbs
Denison, Texas
Arps was a second team all-state offensive tackle, but Kansas wants him on the defense. He also needs to add weight.
Jeremiah Edwards
★★★ Defensive tackle
6-1 270 lbs.
Garland, Texas
Gill pitched Edwards on his 4-3 defense that will shift to three linemen in passing situations.
Ricki Herod, Jr.
★★★ Wide receiver
Rest of the class
Mesquite, Texas
TCU tried to get involved late, but Herod stuck with his commitment. Herod worked out with current sophomore Daymond Patterson over winter break.
Pat Lewandowski
★★★ Defensive end 6-6.248 lbs.
Overland Park
Lewandowski wasn't getting too many serious looks until he sent his senior film to possible colleges. Kansas saw Lewandowski's ability to shed blockers.
Brian Maura
Maura is a highlight waiting to happen. In Maura's senior year, he finished among
★★★ Wide receiver
6-3,190 lbs.
Dexter McDonald
Miami
the top 10 in receiving yards and touchdowns in talent-rich Miami.
Kansas City, Mo.
Quinn Mecham
McDonald originally committed to Illinois after being recruited by former Illinois assistant and current Kansas recruiting coordinator Reggie Mitchell. He switched to Missouri, and when Mitchell came on with Gill's staff, switched his commitment to Kansas.
★★★ Quarterback 6-1.195 lbs
Ephraim, Utah
Mecham is already enrolled at Kansas. He's a dual-threat quarterback who threw for 3,091 yards and 40 touchdowns last season at Snow College in Utah. He will vie for the starting quarterback position with Kale Pick and Jordan Webb.
Jimmay Mundine
★★★ Outside linebacker
Denison, Texas
With 4.6 40-yard dash speed, Mundine is probably better suited at an outside position so he can pursue running backs. He's ranked by Rivals.com as the No. 79 outside linebacker.
James Sims
★★★ Running back
Irving, Texas
Sims rushed for 1,762 yards and 20 touchdowns his senior season and had scholarship offers from Arkansas, Iowa State, North Texas, Purdue, Utah and UTEP.
Trent Smiley
**Tight end
6-4, 225 lbs.
Frisco. Texas
Smiley is ranked the No.17 tight end in the 2010 class by Rivals.com. Gill has previously said that the team will look away from a straight spread offense, perhaps using the tight end more.
Andrew Turzilli
★★★ Wide receiver
Butler, New Jersey
★★ Safety
Turzill doesn't have top-end speed, but he has a knack for coming down with the ball and is a crafty runner after the catch. He had 48 catches for 888 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Jake Farley
6-2.210 lbs.
Cedar Falls, Iowa
Farley spent time in Lawrence when his father, Mark, was the linebacker coach at Kansas. Farley is a hybrid linebacker with the ability to cover receivers in space.
Ed Fink
★★ Inside linebacker
Fink was mostly unknown before committing to Kansas. He compensates for a lack of pure athleticism with hard work.
Chad Kolumber
Woodberry Forest. Virginia
Kolumban has a huge frame and is working on his foot speed.
Rav Mitchell
★★ Safety 6.1 180lbs
6-1, 180 lbs.
Irving, Texas
Mitchell is an athlete who might switch between cornerback and safety until he feels comfortable.

Rankings and conference standings do little to reveal the ups and downs a team may experience throughout the course of a season, and as such they have a tendency to be very misleading. Enter the Big 12 stock report. This system will look at Big 12 teams' recent trends in the terms of Wall Street.

The No. 4 Nebraska Huskers are the real deal. Nebraska has already raked up key wins against Texas and Baylor, perennial Big 12 powerhouses, and with a 16-point

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
In its first game back at No. 1, Kansas goes to Boulder, Col., to take on the 11-10 Buffaloos, who are 10-1 at home. Colorado seems to be in a rut, but Kansas is hitting its stride at 6-0 in the Big 12. Kansas leads the series 117-39, 37-26 in Boulder. Kansas has won 40 of its past 41 meetings with Colorado. Shockingly, only one Jayhawk averages double figures in his career against the Buffaloes: Sherron Collins had 10.2 in six career games.

proving that coach Bill Self has more trust in him. It has been a little rough for Taylor this season, so maybe he can turn it around with a solid performance against Colorado's talented guards.
After the daunting task of facing two rivals, will Kansas experience a let-down?
QUESTION MARK
The Jayhawks came out of a tough week sitting pretty atop the Big 12. With victories against Missouri and Kansas State, the Colorado match-up may not create the same intensity. The Buffalooes sold out their stadium of 11,000-plus, however, so the atmosphere might be menacing.
HEARYE, HEARYE

JONATHAN BROWN
Sherron Collins, guard
His coach and teammates said he's the best player in the country. He led them to yet another late victory Saturday at Kansas State. He leads the team with 15.5 points per game, good enough for 11th in the Big 12. When his team needs him, he there's.
Henry
★★★★
Brady Morningstar, guard
Coming off a season-high 14 points against K-State, Morningstar seems to be in his groove right now. This would be his fifth start of the season. He is averaging 5.9 points per game this season and 7.8 in conference play.
Morris
Xavier Henry,guard
★★★☆★
Henry is just about the only Jayhawk not doing well with the Big 12 schedule. His conference high was 14 points against Texas Tech and he has only scored in double figures twice in six games. His minutes are dropping as his shots are not.
Marcus Morris. forward
★★★☆
Morris came away with his third double double of the season Saturday despite fouling out with four minutes to go in regulation. His Big 12 scoring leads the Jayhawks at 17.8 and leads the Big 12 with 62.1 percent shooting. His 8.2 rebounds are not to be taken lightly either because a majority of his shots come from grabbing offensive boards.
★★★☆

MARK RUBER
Aldrich earned the Big 12 Player of the Week award Monday. At Kansas

Sherr
Tomlinson
Nate Tomlinson, guard
COLORADO (11-10) STARTERS
Tomlinson is a pass-first point guard who does a solid job of running the offense, averaging 4.3 assists per game. If he has to be, he's a lethal shooter from outside, knocking down 42.6 percent of his threes.
★★☆☆☆
PETER BROWN
Cory Higgins, guard
Higgins
★★★☆
Higgins is the unquestioned star of the Colorado team. He's a dangerous shooter, averaging 18.3 points per game, but he's not a high-percentage shooter from three-point land, knocking down just 32.8 percent from distance. Higgins should prove to be the Jayhawks' toughest competition today.
Alec Burks, guard
Burks, a 6-foot-6 freshman out of Grandview, Mo., was lightly recruited out of high school as just a three-star recruit. He has played well at the college level, and is now the Buffaloes' second-leading scorer at 16.3 points per game. Burks was injured two minutes into the Buffaloes' last game, a 64-63 loss at Iowa State, but should
be back today.
★★★☆☆
Marcus Relphorde, forward
In the first three games of conference play Relphorde had 24 points against Texas, 17 in a victory against Baylor, and 18 in 19 minutes against Kansas State - but he has been quiet since then. In his last four games, Relphorde averaged just six points per game, down from his season average of 10.4.
★★★☆☆
S
Austin Dufault, forward
Relphorde
Dufault, a 6-foot-9 sophomore, averages just 3.4 rebounds per game. Colorado's frontcourt is, in general, underwhelming on the glass. That's Kansas' biggest advantage, with three players averaging at least five boards per game.
★★★★
SIXTH MAN

roster, and the only one who plays any significant minutes. From the bench, he's the team's fourth-leading scorer at 8.9 points per game. A lot of his points come from long range, where he's hitting an incredible 51.9 percent of his shots, leading the conference in three-point percentage.
★★★☆☆
Tim Dwyer
Sherron Collins and Denis Clemente
CU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
If this was a 3-on-3 game with the shooting guards, small forwards and power forwards, Colorado would stand a chance. Unfortunately for the Buffalooes, the point guards and the centers have to play, too, which means Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich match up against Nate Tomlinson and Austin Dufault, respectively. The odds aren't in Colorado's favor. If Cory Higgins and Alec Burks can put up 20 points apiece, which isn't out of the question, and get just a little help from the rest of the team, Colorado has a chance of pulling the upset. The Buffalooes are 10-1 at home this year, losing only to Kansas State by six.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Cory Higgins
Higgins is the best pure scorer the Buffaloes have boasted since Richard Roby graduated a couple years ago. He won't be a first team
all-conference guy, but he'll certainly be on the second or third team. Higgins is also one of Colorado's best perimeter defenders, poking away 1.9 steals per game
N. RICHARD MAYER
Higgins
He was already brilliant once against a team from the Sunflower State, netting 30 points in the Buffaloes' 87-81 loss to Kansas State, and he has scored 20 or more in nine of Colorado's 21 games.
QUESTION MARK
Will Alec Burks be able to play?
Burks slipped through the cracks in recruiting – the only other Big 12 team to offer a scholarship was Kansas State – but has turned into a real producer for coach Jeff Bzdelik, leading all Big 12 newcomers with 16.3 points per game. Burks sprained his left knee in Colorado's heartbreaker of a loss to Iowa State, but Bzdalik sounded optimistic that Burks would return. Though he cautioned that Burks is day-to-day, Bzdalkel said "we're in good shape here." If Burks can put up his usual numbers, it will be a huge boost for Colorado. If he can't play, the Buffaloes are in trouble.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"That's a good get for Colorado and a recruiting blunder by a lot of folks. He averages 16-plus, something like that. He's good. He's a player, and he obviously fits Jeff's system."

...if the Jayhawks keep their hot streak going. Right now, the Jayhawks are playing very close to their No. 1 ranking and Colorado is far from it. If Kansas comes in and puts up the kind of performance it's capable of, the crowd will be a non-factor. At the very worst, there is a chance Jayhawk fans could overwhelm the Buffaloes with their own chants, like so many other opponents before them.
COORS EVENTS CENTER WILL ROCK...
... if the Jayhawks become complacent. They beat Missouri and just beat a top 10 ranked rival in Kansas State. Now they are back at No. 1. With two games up in the Big 12, it's easy to feel satisfied where they are. If any sort of comfort seeps into their gameplan, it would put the Jayhawks in another Sherron Collins bail-out situation. Kansas coach Bill Self and the players said it would not happen, but who wouldn't?

From the JERSEY SHORE to KU
YouTube spoof garners national attention for KU soccer team
THE SHORE 101
Besides the fact that the video done by the soccer team, the show has had quite an effect on the KU community. Erika Miller, a senior from Olathe, shared a little bit about what goes into throwing a legendary Jersey Shore-themed party: "About 30 or 40 people came, and they were all dressed up. A lot of girls had long hair extensions in and wore pretty revealing tops. Ed Hardy was pretty popular. One of the guys even painted on some abs to match 'The Situation.'"
Booze, dancing, hair gel, tanning and hooking up. Any questions?
The cast of the show consists of seven 20-something Italian-Americans who consider themselves part of the "guido" culture. This culture is best described by the term "GTL," which stands for Gym, Tanning and Laundry. The cast, the show and MTV have all drawn fire from Italian-American groups that say the show promotes a negative stereotype. MTV then released a statement defending the show, saying that it "continues MTV's history of documenting various subcultures ... it depicts just one aspect of youth culture."
The first season of the show premiered on MTV on Dec. 9. It consisted of nine episodes, the last of which aired Jan. 21 and drew almost 5 million viewers. Last week, the cast signed on for a second season at a salary of $10,000 per cast member per episode. The second season will air in the summer and will be shot in a different, warmer location. How about Lawrence? Well, we might not want the crazy cast on our home turf for a month; they probably would feel too cool for Lawrence. We don't have enough spray tan and hair gel for them anyway.
What?
Why is this important at KU?
Who?
When and where?
BY ELLIOT METZ emetz@kansan.com
The "Jersey Shore" has come to the University — or at least to the women's soccer team.
Two weeks ago, the team made a video parodying MTV's popular reality series "Jersey Shore" for the annual JayRock banquet for Kansas Athletics.
Since it was posted on YouTube, the video has already been viewed more than 48,000 times. It was also featured on Sports
Illustrated's website as the "Spoof Video of the Day" on Jan. 25.
"We were kind of stuck for what to do for JayRock," said Sierra Miramontez, a sophomore midfielder, also known as Gahfeeld. "Then one day we were at lunch and we just started talking in these accents, and we thought we were pretty good at it."
They included their own versions of popular "Jersey Shore" cast members, such as Jenni I-"Woow" Farley and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.

COOL CLASSES: Theatre 111
esheftel@kansan.com
BY ELLEN SHEFTEL
Celsie Sneden, a sophomore from Topeka, is a communications major and is taking the course.
"I really fell in love with acting as a whole, and I love learning the dynamics," Sneden said.
During the second class of Theatre 111, students began applying makeup on themselves to create the look of aging. In the class, students learn how to apply makeup for characters and the basic elements of stage makeup.
On the first day of class, Sneden said the students went over the material and then played around with their makeup.
Phillip Schroeder, teaching assistant for the class, said the class structure was a hands-on format and that there is little lecture time.
"Each class period, the students have had a reading assignment, bring in a makeup design for that week's topic and, through guidance, execute that design on themselves" Schroeder said.
Students who decide to take the course can expect to gain an understanding of facial features and how makeup and prosthetics can alter it.
"Non-theatre majors and theatre majors benefit from the creative expression and self-awareness this class offers," Schroeder said. "Often students choose to wear their makeup done in the class home or to other classes to see how people react to them
or treat them differently. This gives them insight in how society reacts either fairly or unfairly to our physical appearance.[6]
Shawnee, took the course last spring. She took the course because she was thinking about majoring in theatre, and this course is one of the requirements.
"I really liked the class because it was a stress reliever," Baker said. "It wasn't like my other classes. You just came in with your design for the day and got started."
The class has no prerequisites and is offered in both fall and spring semesters. Students who take the course range in majors from journalism to psychology.

Obama's aunt fights deportation
POLITICS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, plans to make a second bid for political asylum as she goes before an immigration judge Thursday to argue that she should be allowed to stay in the United States.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — President Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenya native who once cared for his siblings, defied a deportation order in 2004 and became a political liability for her famous nephew, she is preparing to make her case in federal Immigration Court that she be allowed to stay in the United States.
Zeituni Onyango, 57, is expecting to make her second bid for political asylum Thursday before an immigration judge in Boston and could potentially argue that her relationship to the president would make her a political target in Kenya's unstable political climate.
"She wants to stay in this country so bad," said Mike Rogers, a spokesman for her attorney.
Onyango moved to the United States in 2000 and first applied for asylum in 2002. Her request was rejected and she was ordered to deport in 2004, but she did not leave the country and continued to live in public housing in Boston.
Her status as an illegal immigrant was revealed just days before Obama was elected in November 2008. Obama said he did not know his aunt was living here illegally and believes laws covering the situation should be followed. A judge later agreed to suspend her deportation order and reopen her asylum case.
People who seek asylum must show that they face persecution in their homeland on the basis of religion, race, nationality, political opinion or membership in a social group. Onyango's immigration attorney, Margaret Wong of Cleveland, said last year that her client first applied for asylum "due to violence in Kenya," but she did not reveal what grounds she has cited in her renewed bid for asylum. The East African nation is fractured by cycles of electoral violence every five years.
Onyango did not return telephone calls seeking comment this week. But in an interview in November, she said she did not tell Obama she was in the country illegally and never asked him to intervene. She also said she has exiled herself from Obama
and his family because she didn't want to become political fodder for his foes.
"Before, we were family. But right now, there is a lot of politics, and me, I am not interested in any politics at all." Onyango told The Associated Press at the time.
During the "merits hearing" Thursday, Onyango and her lawyers will get the opportunity to present her reasons for seeking asylum. The Department of Homeland Security acts as a prosecutor at such hearings.
Wong's spokesman, Mike Rogers, would not discuss the immigration hearing, which is closed to the public at Onyango's request. But he said Onyango hopes she will be allowed to stay in the United States and believes "she will prevail once people get the whole story."
Onyango, the half-sister of Obama's late father, helped care
for the president's half-brothers and sister while living with Barack Obama Sr. in Kenya.
She now lives in a small apartment in a subsidized public housing complex for seniors and the disabled. She said in November that she is learning to walk again after being paralyzed for more than three months because of Guillain-Barre syndrome, an autoimmune disorder.
Asylum cases are difficult to win, said immigration attorney Hanish Ali.
"The burden is really on the asylum seeker, who has to prove a well-founded fear of persecution in their home countries. Often, that's hard to do." Ali said.
Ali said she is unsure what effect Onyango's status as Obama's aunt will have on her asylum bid, but said: "It can't hurt."
Mischevious chicken finds a new home
ODD NEWS
GLENDALE, Calif. — A black chicken that spent two months dodging cars, coyotes and captors at a busy Glendale intersection is a sitting duck no more. Berna Arnold and her 8-year-old son said they used fishing nets to catch the elusive hen and move her to their Simi Valley home, where she is living with a horse, a bearded dragon, lizards and three other chickens.
Pasadena Humane Society animal control officers tried at least seven times in the last two months to catch the bird, which they considered a traffic hazard. A spokeswoman said the hen always flew into the trees or ran into traffic and officers would have to back off. The bird was named Lucky.

Men advised to receive HPV vaccine at Watkins
BY ROBERT ALTMAN
raltman@kansan.com
"We certainly see a lot of guys that come in with bumps that end up being warts," said Dr. Robert Brown, a physician at Watkins. "For some people, genital warts can be a huge burden. Sometimes they're fairly prominent, can be pretty frustrating and hard to get rid of, and that can create a big emotional burden as well."
Gardasil, the human papillomavirus vaccination, has been recommended to young women since 2006 because women are at a greater risk of developing cancer from the infection. But the vaccine was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for men as well, and it is available at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Gardasil protects against four types of HPV — two that are the most common causes of cervical cancer and could increase
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection and is responsible for most cases of genital warts.
the risk for penile, anal, oral and throat cancers, and two that predominantly cause genital warts. What scares doctors, he said, is that HPV can often be passed among sexual partners for years without any symptoms at all, and it is often overlooked by men because they have a smaller risk of developing cancer from the infection.
"It's something that men should think about in terms of responsibility," Brown said. "This will protect them from getting something that could be passed to future girlfriends or wives, things that could actually both increase risk of cervical cancer and genital warts."
Because many insurance companies cover the vaccine, the shots should cost almost nothing for most college students.
"I definitely think people should get it," said Gianni Secchi, a senior from Dallas. "If it's practically free, then I don't know why anyone wouldn't get it."
COST: The vaccine is fully covered by most insurance companies, and is free for those with no insurance who meet certain requirements.
WHERE: Watkins Memorial Health Center
THREE SHOTS FOR HEALTH
WHAT: HPV vaccine for both women and men
WHY: To guard against genital warts and certain caners
The vaccine is administered in three shots that are usually about $150 each. Merck, the company that makes Gardasil, has also set up programs that ensure patients won't pay more than $40 if their
insurance offers only partial coverage and that provides free shots for people without health insurance who are older than 19 and meet financial guidelines.
Brown said that students aren't often as worried about cancer that develops later in life and hoped that the more immediate risks of warts would persuade men to get the vaccine.

SHORE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
After nailing the accents, the players focused on dressing the part. They wore the infamous "hair poof," along with heavy makeup to get the overly spray tanned look sported by the "jersey shore" crew
And they had a good time doing it.
"Plus we used up an entire can of hairspray."
"My favorite part of it was definitely getting ready to go out," said Jeannene Francia, a sophomore defender who played "Snooki."
The players were concerned the parody would fall flat with the layRock audience, but it received a great response from the crowd.
"Honestly, we were really scared that none of the athletes would think it was funny," Miramontez said.
Even though the skit did not place in the top three of the JayRock
competition, it clearly has become a success on YouTube. And, in case the team still had any doubt, the players have been getting the ultimate sign of approval.
"The athletes come up to us whenever they see us on campus now just so they can call us by our Jersey Shore names," Francia said.

Creep: A way to flirt with women; used in both positive and negative connotations
GTL: Gym, Tanning, Laundry
Fist-pumping: A guido's choice way to dance; just as simple as it sounds
Guido/Guidette:
Grenade: A less-than-attractive woman that a guido's wingman should flirt with so that the guido can flirt with her more attractive friend
Guido/Guidette:
on which cast member you ask, the guido/guidette identity consists of family, hair gel, tanning, lots of interaction with the opposite sex, drinking, steroid-enhanced muscles, revealing outfits and lots of dancing
Juicehead: A man whose muscles are ridiculously big, usually performance-enhanced
Poof: A guidette's hairstyle that consists of tall hair in the
front; it's still unclear why this is attractive to men

Murdoch: Conan must show profit
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — News Corp. Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch said it's up to Fox Broadcasting to make a case that a late-night show hosted by Conan O'Brien can make money.
"We're giving it a lot of thought and a lot of examination," Murdoch said when asked during a conference call on the company's second quarter earnings about the prospect of Fox doing a deal with O'Brien to host a late-night show for the network.
O'Brien walked away from his
Murdoch said the programmers at Fox Broadcasting — Peter Rice and Kevin Reilly — need to 'show us we can do it and be fairly confident of making a profit.' Murdoch's remarks echoed those that News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey and Fox Television Stations boss Roger Ailes made to the Los Angeles Times last month
The issue for Fox is getting time in late night from its affiliate stations to carry O'Brien. The Fox affiliates and the Fox-owned TV stations carry reruns of sitcoms in that hour that make them a lot of money. "I'm sure we'd have difficult renegotiations," Murdoch said of trying to get the go-ahead from affiliates to put O'Brien on the air.
job as host of NBC's "The Tonight Show" last month after the network told him it wanted to move the show from 11:35 p.m. to after midnight to make room for Jay Leno's return to late night from prime time.
about the prospects of O'Brien being signed to a deal.
The mogul said that although there have been some conversations with O'Brien's camp, there have been no "real negotiations."

AWARDS
How Oscar winners will be determined
The Oscars are using a preferential voting system this year to determine the best picture winner. Although attempting to understand the system can sometimes feel a little like trying
to divine the secrets of cold fusion, the system is actually logical — sort of.
Whereas all other categories will use the same system used in the past — every voter gets to pick one of the five nominees, and the nominee with the most votes wins — the 10-nominee best-picture category will function differently.
Voters will be asked to rank their best-picture choices from 1 to 10 (though they are not required to complete the ballot in full). Then the academy will gather up the ballots and separate them in piles according to voter's first choices. Each movie gets its own pile. Then each stack is counted.

HUMOR
Finding value in group projects
Me: Sometimes it seems like most educators demand group projects to stress us out, watch us squirm and force us to associate with people we would never otherwise acknowledge.
We have been assigned group projects throughout our lives. And for good reasons: They are just as important as cursive, knowing the lyrics to "Yankee Doodle" and not wearing spaghetti-strap shirts.
Yet, sometimes, it is easy to forget how important group projects are.
So, I am here with the first column ever written as a group project to remind everyone how valuable these learning experiences truly are.
In the true nature of a group project, each paragraph is written by a different group member.
Kelly: The reason why I—oh, I mean we—have decided to write this column is to combat the serious hatred toward group projects that seems to plague our campus. These are wrong feelings to have toward something that is so vital for preparation in the real world. (Disclaimer: Some of us in the group think that these feelings are OK to have.)

John: That's right. I mean, group projects are positive. They're very positive, in fact. All they do is reek positivity. According to the books our group read, group projects are really positive. Everyone has something uniquely positive to contribute. And, even though some group members may have been "too busy" with their "sick" grandmother and all of her "sick and dying" cats to do research, it doesn't mean they don't deserve a positive grade from the very positive other group members.

So, even though all of the library books are in my name and I used nearly all eight dollars of my free printing money for this project, I could not have done it without the support of the group. I could not have typed the outlines and handouts all by myself after all. Even though I did all of the in-class speaking. I know deep in my heart that my group agreed with me on all that I said; that's all that matters. This next paragraph will sum up to you exactly why group projects are so important.

PSYCHOLOGY
Hoarding commmon, but should be avoided
An epidemic has swept the nation. It has been growing for some time. It has to do with American consumerism, but a capitalist-consumer economy is too easy a diagnosis of the problem. The problem is a combination of commodity culture and human nostalgia.
However, because the magazines are out of date, the cards cannot be reused, the notes are no longer relevant to current classes, and the wicks on those candles were lost to a wax-pool long ago, we buy up to date products, clothes and new notebooks for our new classes. The storage space dwindles and thus begins the cycle of hoarding.
It is hoarding. Hoarding of magazines, birthday cards, old notes, Virgin Mary cards, all the T-shirts you wore when you were still in high school and all the free jive from student fairs. Despite our lack of active use of these things, we keep them because they mean something to us, or we fool ourselves into thinking we'll maybe use them someday.
hoarding are not limited to crowding a room, but increases the likelihood of infestations, fire and is likely to inhibit your ability to host guests or have others in your home thus often spiraling into loneliness and depression.
Most of us hoard on some level, with the minimum being a bunch of old clothes one does not wear any more and the maximum being turning your home into a veritable landfill.
Psychologists consider compulsive hoarding a mental disorder. It is even real enough to have its own reality show with A&E's "Hoarders," which documents people dealing with the shame of their over-cluttered homes and the fear and compulsion to hold on to all of it. The consequences of
This is not to say you should not be sentimental. There are certainly things that one likes to hold on to, such as an old baby blanket, but an old baby blanket will survive 15 to 20 years with good care. That poster you made for a class project, while totally cool and impressive, will deteriorate. Pieces of your past that can be archived are one thing, but needless junk is another.
Extreme hoarding, such as filling your house with Snapple labels and egg cartons, is obvious in its manifestations, but what about hoarding on a small scale? Many students (myself included) keep old notes semester after semester thinking, "I'll use this for reference!" are more often than not deluding themselves. You do not need your notes from that comic-book-as-novel class. Understandably, you feel sentimental because you enjoyed the class, and you put a lot of effort into it. Yes there is lots of valuable information between those notebook pages, but believe me, you will not look at it again. You will not use those 75 glass Tazo tea bottles for some vague half-formed idea for an art project. It will all most likely sit in your closet, basement or attic until the next time you move.
So why do we do it?
If you have a box of three broken flashlights or a bowl of several totally awesome but slightly defective sunglasses throw them out
It is too bad such things have to make their way to a landfill somewhere, but it's no use making your life a dumping ground. Go through your stuff. I guarantee you will find loads of needless articles of clothing, papers, letters, knickknacks, and broken this or that.
Get rid of them either by taking it to a thrift store, throwing them in the trash, or recycling them properly. Then learn from your patterns of purchase and abandonment.
Sustainability is the catchword nowadays. Part of that process is learning how to minimize waste.
Commodity culture does not mesh well with healthier living, in both a personal and global way. Going through your junk will help you realize what is useful and what is not. Learning the difference between what you need and what you want is the first step, then comes learning how to buy smart, reliable, durable products that are practical.
Other good and easy ways to cut down and keep cut down are to just say no to 12 free stress balls, recycling the unused half of your notebook instead of buying new ones, and getting your "new" clothes from free boxes or organizing clothing swaps. It is hard to tell the hoarder inside you "let go, shhhh, just let go," but totally necessary. You will thank me next time you move.

RELIGION
Bring a theologian back to residence
For the past eight years, the FKU Department of Religious Studies has worked with 14 other groups from around Kansas City to bring a religious scholar to Lawrence every year. This year the program was put on hold, a move that deprives students of the chance to expand their religious knowledge.
In the past, the "Theologian In Residence" program, now called the "Religious Scholar" program, has brought notable scholars such as Marcus J. Borg, John Dominic Crossan and Bart Ehrman to Lawrence for a series of lectures and small community conversations.
Gomess's value as a public figure was not debated; he is commonly regarded as one of the most distinguished preachers in America. He was named "Clergy of the Year" in 1998 by Religion in American Life and offered prayers at the inaugurations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. He was, overall, an important figure for the program to bring to Lawrence.
Along with co-founders Washburn and Baker University, the Department of Religious Studies recently expressed concerns that the program was becoming too sectarian. Concerns were exacerbated when the last scholar to come, Peter Gomes, brought a considerable amount of conflict with him.
I saw Gomes last spring. When listening to him, it quickly became apparent that he's a brilliant mind with very interesting life experiences.
He did, however, come off more as a preacher than a scholar. This undermines the intentions of the program to highlight religion, rather than sermonize.
Though the program is a great opportunity for the Lawrence community, there is a very obvious pull toward more Judeo-Christian speakers.
Out of the nine scholars the program has brought to Lawrence, one person focused on

Hinduism, one on Islam, one on Judaism and six on Christianity. This is an obvious imbalance.
The University's concerns in choosing to end the program are valid; if the program starts to be seen as nothing more than an outlet for one religious sect to push their beliefs, the program will more than likely lose much of its audience.
Either by cutting out some of the 11 churches that currently have a say in the program, or restructuring the program so everyone involved is aware of the goals of the group, action should be taken to revive this program.
Thad Holcombe, the campus minister at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, is an active participant in the program.
The 11 churches, three Universities and the ECM plan on meeting soon to discuss the future of the program. Even though the group is making the first steps to finding a solution, there is still a lot of uncertainty about whether or not the program will continue and if it does, what form it will have.
He recognizes the importance of a multitude of perspectives and ideas. He appears passionate about the program, and with any luck, will help to bring it back stronger and more diverse next year.
The Lawrence campus and communities need to remind these groups that this is an important program to further religious scholarship in our community.

Tell-all performance portrays actual student experiences
BY NANCY WOLENS nwolens@kansan.com
'KU CONFIDENTIAL'
WHAT: Created and performed by KU students
In "KU Confidential" the cast tells the audience stories that the project director said come as close as they could to a kind of uncensored, unvarnished view of students' experiences.
WHERE: The show will be at the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall. Seating is limited.
9 p.m. Saturday
2:30 p.m. Sunday and Feb. 13
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. today and Friday and Feb. 10, 11, 12
COST: $10 for students and children, $15 for the public and $14 for senior college, KU faculty and staff.
"We set out from the beginning to do a show that was going to speak directly to KU students and their experiences," Henry Bial, associate professor of theater, said. "We didn't want a show about young people today or a show about college as an abstract concept but specifically something that would be for KU students because it was created by KU students."
General admission tickets are on sale in the KU ticket offices:
University Theatre (864-3982), Lied Center (864-ART5) and online at www.kutheatre.com.
The performance, which opens tonight, was created and produced by University students and aims to portray what it's like to be a student at the University. Audiences will meet the inconsiderate, drunk, sex-driven roommate and the guy who can't kick his addiction. They will see what it's like to be the lonely girl in the back of biology and the awkward run-in with an ex on Wescoe Beach.
In doing a show specifically about the KU experience, the ensemble said it hoped to bring in people who perhaps haven't seen a theater performance before.
"This is all about things that go on while we're in college, and there are a lot of things that get said that I know people could relate to," said Chase, a senior from lola. "It's interactive, intimate and something students will easily enjoy."
Cast member Allison Chase said she wanted the audience to relate to the show.
"During workshop we didn't start by writing anything. We started by exploring ourselves, and so
it was kind of like group therapy every single day." Chase said. "We would go around and share our experiences that were meaningful to us, hurtful to us and really just learn how to open up and expose ourselves to judgment."
And intimacy is something this cast, which quickly became a family of 13, knows well after spending nearly every waking moment together for the past five months.
At the beginning, the cast members really weren't sure what shape the show was going to take, Bial said. They were trying to get a sense of what was on students' minds and what sorts of stories, ideas or feelings were urgent for them to express. They then went into an eight-week writing phase where the students had individual writing assignments that they eventually shared.
Howard Tinn/KANSAN
Bial said "KU Confidential" is in contrast to traditional theater, which tends to move in one direction, moving from the playwright to the director, the director to the actor and the actor to the audience.
"We don't start that way," Bial said. "It's collaboratively created, and everything doesn't even start with a written text. Sometimes we start with an idea, a song or a visual image and then build from that."
Jordan Gouge, a senior from Lawrence and member of the ensemble, said he had learned a lot about himself as an actor and a performer throughout the process.
'PAY WHAT YOU CAN'
PERFORMANCE
The cast and crew want to give everyone an opportunity to see the performance. For those who want to see "KU Confidential" but can't afford a ticket, Saturday will be a "Pay What You Can" performance that benefits the LeWan Alexander Spiritship Fund.
Attendees can come to the 9 p.m. performance and pay whatever they're able at the door as a donation.
Isaac Dean, a junior from Kansas City and a theatre major, and James Wearing, a sophomore from Salina and a theatre and English major, presents a case of college promiscuity in one of the scenes. The characters of "KU Confidential" portray everyday encounters and hardships of KU students with a comical twist.
He said his idea of what theater was and could be has greatly expanded over the rehearsal period.
"It's different right off the bat because we started without a script," Gouge said. "The performance itself is a collection of unrelated scenes, monologues, songs and other art forms that create an experience for the audience that college students understand and want to talk about."

Vice mayor criticizes snow ordinance
BY ANNIE VANGSNES avangsnes@kansan.com
Lawrence Vice Mayor Mike Amyx said he was in favor of revoking the city's sidewalk snowshoveling ordinance at a full meeting of the KU Student Senate Wednesday.
Amyx said he didn't think it was a good way to run a community. The ordinance fines property owners for not shoveling sidewalks after several inches of snow. Amyx said he wanted to revoke the complaint-based ordinance that was passed last year by the city commission.
"I hate to see ordinances where neighbors turn in neighbors," Amyx said.
He also spoke about the city and the University's joint bus system
and the new downtown retail task force.
Amyx spoke to the body as part of a city-Student Senate partnership.
As a small downtown business owner, he said he understood the influence of KU students and their purchasing power in the local community.
Elise Higgins, Student Senate community affairs director and a senior from Topeka, said she started the partnership last semester to improve the relationship between Senate and the city government. She said the partnership was designed for commissioners to address Senate directly about their relationship to the University and to discuss their goals.

Colbert given honorary title
BY ANNIE VANGSNES avangnes@kansan.com
Stephen Colbert is officially KU's honorary student body president.
Student Senate passed a resolution Wednesday night giving Colbert the honor. The resolution was an attempt by senator Tom Cox to generate interest in the University and Student Senate.
Cox said he was excited that the bill passed.
The bill was changed to a resolution before going to a vote so that there were no changes to Senate's actual rules and regulations.
Cox said senators sometimes get bogged down with partisanship and debate and that this bill was meant to lighten the mood.
"I know some people have thought, 'This is silly; why would we do this?' he said. "My answer is Stephen Colbert is awesome, and it's an awesome idea."
Cox said the next step was for current Student Body President Mason Heilman to sign the resolution.
Cox said he planned to send Colbert a copy of the resolution and a letter inviting him to visit the University.
He said he also wants to get an engraved gravel for Colbert that says "Stephen T. Colbert, Honorary Student Body President of KU"

Overtime again for Jayhawks
KANSAS 72,COLORADO 66
Senior guard Sherron Collins clashes into sophomore guard lyshawn Taylor following a timeout call in the Jayhawks' 72-66 overtime victory Wednesday night in Boulder, Colo. Collins led Kansas with 16 points and five assists. Kansas is now 7-0 in the Big 12.

BOULDER, Colo. — This is what the Big 12 conference is all about.
Kansas' 72-66 overtime victory against Colorado just goes to show how competitive this conference really is.
"That's the greatest thing we can see out of Colorado- just competing with everybody," junior center Cole Aldrich said.
After squeaking by Kansas State 81-79 in overtime Saturday, the history of Kansas at Colorado — now seven straight victories in Boulder — didn't seem like it would be this much of a contest.
Aldrich, who finished with 16 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks, said this was the type of game that got people talking about teams like Colorado.
"A lot of people watch the games and say, 'Wow. I might not hear their name all the time, but they're still a good team.'" he said.
Early on, this game was going in scripted blowout fashion.
"When you talk to the media or whoever, you've got to respect their effort," Self said to his team. "And our guys do. They get it. They respect Colorado's effort."
After the game, coach Bill Self told his team to make sure to give credit where it was due. He didn't discredit anything Colorado did, though he admitted his team didn't play its best.
The layhawks led by as many as 18 points in the first half and had a decent sized crowd cheering for them. But the Buffaloes retaliated, sparked by an 8-0 run, to bring them within four with three minutes to go in the half.
The Jayhaws went into halftime up 34-28.
The pace of the game picked up
considerably in the second half. Colorado tied the game by hitting back-to-back threes to start the half. From then on, it was a back-and-forth game.
The Jayhawks didn't do anything to separate themselves with missed free throws. Kansas went 18 out of 38 on free throws for the game. The Jayhawks also threw the ball out of bounds on multiple occasions.
On the other hand, the Buffaloes didn't take advantage of the
Jayhawks' turnovers because the Jayhawks played stout defense. The Buffalooes also missed open shots, shooting 37.5 percent for the game.
Senior guard Sherron Collins, who finished with 16 points, didn't have as many dramatic plays as he did against K-State, but the victory means the same.

"It didn't take anything away from us," he said. "We knew we were down, but we had to play late
Up 59-58, the Jayhawks had the ball with just under a minute to go. Collins missed a floater, and after an intense scramble for the loose ball, Colorado obtained possession.
Junior guard Brady Morningstar fouled junior guard Cory Higgins on the other end, and he gave the Buffaloes their first lead in the second half with two free throws.
Collins came right back with
another floater, but this time was engulfed by two Buffalo players and drew the foul.

Weak recruit class is not Gill's fault
Wednesday's National Signing Day officially and finally
— ends the countless pitches from schools, commitments and decommitments from college football prospects. Hard work by coaches, sometimes recruiting players as sophomores, came to fruition Wednesday.
The problem for head coach Turner Gill and his staff is that they had a little less than two months to complete all that work
Mark Mangino resigned Dec. 3, and athletic director Lew Perkins hired Gill a week and a half later. Recruits were rightfully unsure of the program's stability, considering Kansas had never been a consistent winning program until Mangino.

- nothing unusual happened for the jayhawks.
The 18 players that had verbally committed to join coach Turner Gill did just that Wednesday. No new recruits were added.
Mitchell, the man charged with conducting much of that recruiting groundwork, appears to be a new face this season. After all, he joined Gill's staff less than a month ago.
But in fact Mitchell is making his second tour at Kansas after working as an assistant from 1988-1996. He said recruiting this time around hardly compared with his previous experiences.
"When we first got here in 1988, it was broken." Mitchell said. "If you look at the program now, I wouldn't say it's broken at all."
Mitchell joined Kansas at a time when football stood in the shadow of the basketball program.
There were no football-specific offices or facilities, nothing really to serve as visual evidence that the football program intended to move forward.
But on his first visit back to Lawrence, Mitchell walked through the Anderson Family Football Complex and understood for the first time just how much progress the program had made.
"I think it's one of the best kept secrets," Mitchell said. "When I walked into the football building, I had no clue."
The combination of new and improved training facilities and
the orange Bowl victory certainly helped reshape the perception of Kansas football — a fact that makes recruiting, and Mitchell's job, slightly easier.
In the last two weeks alone, Mitchell persuaded two players — cornerback Dexter McDonald and running back Brandon Bourbon — to switch their commitments from other schools.
Perhaps as much as any of Kansas' current signees, Bourbon's switch from Stanford to Kansas generated plenty of outside interest. But the decision also serves as an indication of Mitchell's recruiting capabilities.

It's those types of situations that have enabled Mitchell to become a successful and well-respected recruiter.
After realizing that Bourbon, who is from Potosi, Mo., wanted his family to be able to see him play, Mitchell pitched the running back on a simple idea: If he went to Kansas, his family could see every game.

NCAA tourney is great as it is
MORNING BREW
n Monday, the website sportsbybrooks.com
in Monday, the website sportsbybrooks.com claimed it was a "done deal" that the NCAA basketball tournament would expand from 65 to 96 teams. It cited sources at ESPN and administrators at a "powerhouse" NCAA basketball school. Nothing has been confirmed or announced as official yet.
Expanding the tournament would be a huge black eye for the NCAA in the opinion of many people. If it's not broke, don't fix it. The NCAA basketball tournament is the best sporting event in the world and watering it down with more bad teams could cause the first and most exciting round of the tournament to lose its luster. Unfortunately, it's probably inevitable.
Later on Monday, ESPN's Jeff Caplan asked Bill Self for his thoughts.
"Whatever it is, if it's 96, there's going to be 97, 98, 99 that feel like they got left out," Self told Caplan. "I think television will dictate so much of it. I think its worth discussing, but I haven't seen anyone's formula that would be the right formula. Football can't figure it out, and they deal with less teams."

Caplan also said that Self was in favor of the expansion and that it makes sense to increase the number of teams invited to the tournament because there are so many good players and good teams.
It may be true that there has been a slight increase in talent among college basketball players, partially because of the NBA age restriction rule requiring players to be at least one year removed from high school before entering the NBA draft. However, that does not mean there has been a substantial enough increase in good teams to warrant an increase in the NCAA tournament field.
THE MORNING BREW
The tournament field has included at least 64 teams since 1985. Since then, a
16-seed has never defeated a 1-seed and there have been only four 15-seeds to defeat 2-seeds in the first round. The last time it happened was in 2001. A 15-seed has never advanced past the second round. Why add more worthless teams by expanding the field to 96? The tournament field is perfect the way it is.
The issue is that the NCAA is tempted by the increase in revenue it would receive by broadcasting extra tournament games. Look for a decision to be made by this summer when the NCAA can opt out of its contract with CBS.

Marquette is vindicated with 80-69 victory over DePaul
Associated Press
BY COLIN FLY Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Lazar Hayward had 19 points and 14 rebounds and Marquette avenged an earlier loss to DePaul with a 80-69 victory over the Blue Demons on Wednesday night to extend its winning streak to three.
Darius Johnson-Odom added 21 points and Jimmy Butler 18
for the Golden Eagles (14-8, 5-5 Big East), who didn't trail until Mike Stovall's jumper with seventh of a second to play snapped DePaul's 24-game conference losing streak.
In the rematch, Marquette never trailed, building a double-digit first-half lead and using a 12-0 run early in the second half to open a big advantage.
DePaul (8-14, 1-9) is still searching for its second win under
interim coach Tracy Webster, who fell to 1-7 since replacing Jerry Wainwright.
Mac Koshwal led DePaul with 18 points, but the Blue Demons shot 38 percent from the field. Will Walker, who had been averaging 16.3 points, scored 13 on 5-of-20 shooting.
Marquette's 12-0 run in the second half gave the Golden Eagles a 47-23 lead. In the spurt, Marquette did it inside and out
- using an extra pass to find Hayward open for a 3-pointer and then getting a driving basket by Johnson-Odom.
Moments later, Johnson-Odom stepped into the passing lane moments later for a steal and two-handed dunk. Hayward followed with another three, admiring his follow-through on his basket that just beat the shot clock.
The closest DePaul could come was within 73-64 with 1:08
remaining, but Marquette finished by hitting 13 of its final 14 free throws to seal it.
Hayward, who had the biggest double-double of his career since putting up 19 points and 18 rebounds against IPFW last season, took over midway through the first half.
DePaul, which last won in Milwaukee 10 years ago, has lost four straight and 37 of its last 40 in Big East play.

WACO, Texas — LaceDarius Dunn scored 21 points, including four 3-pointers, Ekpe Udoh had his 11th double-double of the season and No. 20 Baylor backed up its big win on the road with an 84-63 victory over Iowa State on Wednesday night.
Udoh had 19 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots while Tweety Carter scored 14 points for the Bears (17-4, 4-3 Big 12), who were coming off an overtime victory Saturday at then-No. 6 Texas. They had lost to Kansas State before that in their last home game to end a school-record 11-game winning streak at the Ferrell Center.
RESUME STUDENT
Baylor's LaceDarius Dunn shoots past Iowa State's Craig Brackins Wednesday. Baylor won the game 84-63.
Anthony Jones hit a 3-pointer to start a 7-0 run for Baylor and stretch its lead to 10 after Iowa State (13-9, 2-5) got a free throw in the open seconds after halftime. There had been six ties and six lead changes in the first half, but none after that.
After Carter missed a three, Brackins was ahead of everybody when he got a long pass and went up for a slam. He missed when A.J. Walton caught up and swatted at the ball. McDermott was livid that a foul wasn't called, and play continued with Dunn hitting from long range to make it 65-49.
Dunn made a 3-pointer on the first shot of the game, and his last came with 6:15 remaining with an extremely frustrated Iowa State coach Greg McDermott fuming on the sideline.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Craig Brackins had 19 points and Marquis Gilstrap added 15 for the Cyclones, who have lost four of five.
McDermott went under the basket to have words with the official during an ensuing timeout. When there was another timeout only seconds later, he conversed with another official though he avoided getting a technical foul.
Things really turned fun for Baylor after that, with slam dunks
Dunn had the first slam on an ally-op pass from Udoh, who got the next slam before Quincy Acy, who finished with 10 points, threw one down. Walton was open at the basket the next time down, but settled for a lawp instead.
from three different players on consecutive possessions,
The final margin was the largest of the game and Baylor had only eight turnovers.
Udoh should have had another assist, but instead was given a missed shot when his pass rolled off the rim — and was grabbed by
Acy for a slam. That ended a wild sequence when Carter missed a 3-pointer and the ball bounced to the other end of the court. Dunn outran several Cyclones and saved it from going out of bounds to Walton.
Iowa State has lost 17 consecutive games against ranked teams, including five this season.
It is only the fourth time in school history the Bears have won at least 17 games in their first 21. The others were all NCAA tournament teams — 1946, 1948 and 2008.

Mizzou's home streak ends
G
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEXAS A&M head coach Mark Turgeon pumps his fist after a basket late in the second half of the Texas A&M vs. Missouri game Wednesday. Texas A&M won the game 77-74.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Texas A&M found a way to win on the road and at one of the toughest places to play in the Big 12, too.
"We just really executed. We did what we had to do," coach Mark Turgeon said. "I'm really proud of my group to break this streak."
David Loubeau scored all but five of his 17 points in the second half, and the Aggies held Missouri without a basket for nearly 11 minutes of the second half, ending the Tigers' 32-game homecourt winning streak with a 77-74 victory Wednesday night.
Donald Sloan had 17 points and eight rebounds, and Khris Middleton had 16 points for the Aggies (16-6, 5-3 Big 12), who had been 1-4 on the road this season. Missouri coach Mike Anderson is 0-4 against Texas A&M, the only 12 school he has not defeated.
"We hope it continues a few more years," Turgeon said. "Mike's beat a lot of people, and he'll probably beat A&M soon."
Kim English had 15 points, and Laurence Bowers added 11 points and 10 rebounds for Missouri (16-6, 4-3), which lost at home for the first time since Feb. 26, 2008, against Oklahoma State. The winning streak was halted two shy of the school record from 1988-90 at the old Hearnes Center.
Missouri had been 13-0 at home this year, winning by an average of
28 points. The streak was tied with Siena for the second-longest in the nation behind Kansas' 54-game run.
A 20-3 run by Texas A&M
turned a 55-46 deficit into a 66-58
lead with 2:15 to play. Marcus Denmon's three-pointer made it 5:46 with 12:43 to go and Missouri's next basket came from J.T. Tiller in the lane with 1:55 to go.
The fickleness of the recruits isn't surprising. These are high school kids who may not know for sure what they want.
COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The result of all the changes in the program isn't surprising either. The incoming recruiting class is weak.
It's weak because there's no depth. Only Kansas State brought in fewer recruits than Kansas in the Big 12, and Bill Snyder signed five junior college players who are more ready to contribute than all the high school seniors Turner Gill signed.
The class also lacks star power. Only wide receiver Keeston Terry and running back Brandon Bourbon are four-star recruits, according to Rivals. No Kansas commitment, including Terry and Bourbon, got better than a three-star ranking according to ESPN's recruiting reports.
This class probably won't have a considerable effect on next year's team. Recruiting services can be inaccurate on players — see Dezmon Briscoe's and Todd Reesing's three-star ratings — but they don't miss often. Five-star high school players generally have the talent to succeed as college players.
We must consider the situation Gill came into. He had two months to essentially re-recruit some 30 players, and that's considering the holidays and this last week, when very little was still up in the air.
The recruits who spoke to Gill vouched for his personality. Recruits said Gill showed a genuine interest in making them better people as well as players.
Though it didn't reap huge rewards, it did work. Terry said it meant it a lot that Gill visited him
a few days after he was hired.
With the help of recruiting coordinator Reggie Mitchell, who came from the University of Illinois, Gill stole Bourbon directly from Stanford and indirectly from Notre Dame.
Quarterback Quinn Mecham, who signed in the middle of December, will push sophomore Kale Pick and sophomore Jordan Webb in spring practice.
Mecham and Bourbon said the opportunity to play was a factor to commit to Kansas. Gill's recruited for a long time and knows how it works. With more than six weeks to recruit Kansas' class of 2011, Gill will make his mark. The talent in next year's class will improve.
He just needs a little bit more time to get it done.
— Edited by Jesse Rangel
RECRUITS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
For instance, both Gill and
cate with people", Gill said. "He has a strong desire to speak and I think he has an opportunity to build a relationship in a deeper way."
Although selling recruits on Kansas may be easier than during his previous tenure, Mitchell insisted that the job isn't any less demanding.
Mitchell cited the need to recruit more offensive linemen in upcoming years. The layhawks have only one offensive lineman in their current recruiting class.
Still, Gill and Mitchell expressed their satisfaction with the incoming crop of players. And after all, Mitchell — or any Kansas coach — isn't attempting to sell a downtridden football program anymore.
"You're looking at a team that's coming off a 5-7 record last season," Mitchell said. "When we first came here, I think it was 0-11. It's not broken by any stretch of the imagination."

Jayhawks step to line, throw away free throws
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Sherron Collins stepped to the free throw line with just under 40 seconds left and the Jayhawks down one.
He took a breath and put up the shot. Back rim. No good.
Collins sank the second to tie the game, but the score stayed at 60-60, and the game went to overtire, where the layhawks eventually pulled away for a 72-66 victory.
Aldrich said of the team's free-throw shooting. "We were 18 for almost 40, so we're going to be shooting free throws tomorrow."
"We just couldn't buy one today."
Collins shot 4-of-6 from the line on the game, but that Collins' first miss was just a microcosm of the layhawks' abysmal

"We had numerous chances to put it away, and we couldn't from the free throw line, obviously," Self said. "I'm not going to say we played poorly because it doesn't give them the credit they deserve."
Had Kansas shot its season average of 71 percent, they would have hit 21 free throws and walked out of the Coors Event Center with a hard-fought, surprisingly close seven-point victory.
Instead, for the second game in a row, the Jayhawks needed overtime to put away a road foe. Kansas fell victim to a classic trap game, losing focus in between a week of rivalry
Markieff Morris was the Jayhawk most responsible for the collapse in free throw percentage, shooting just 3-of-9 from the line. But he was not alone. Tyshawn Taylor missed two of his three attempts. Brady Morningstar, who is usually praised as a heady, do-the-little-things type of player, missed what could have been a crucial, late free throw.
"I don't know" Self said. "What are we, shooting 78 percent in the league and shot 48 percent tonight?!"
don't know, but it was contagious. I mean, we weren't even close. We almost had two air balls the first half."
It was an ill-fitting end to the game that, with 26 seconds on the clock and the Jayhawks up four, they had Marcus Morris step coolly to the line and sink two free throws to put the game on ice.
"I just tried to be collected." Morris said. "I know that everybody was missing free throws, and I knew that free throws were big, I just tried to take my time, step to the line and tried to knock them down."
Marcus, who was 0-for-3 from the free throw line heading into overtime, nailed those two clutch free throws to put the layhawks up 72-66, the final margin.
"He's 2-for-7. He should make a couple free throws if he's taking seven of them." Self said.
That score wasn't final, though, until Morris had gone to the line once more.

1:42 - Cole Aldrich put the spin move on Casey Crawford and was fouled in the process. Aldrich made the layup, and the referees called it continuation for a three-point play. (34-36)
16:18 - After starting the game with a couple of threes, Colorado grabbed an early two-point lead. But Brady Morningstar came right back with a wide-open three of his own. The Jayhawks didn't trail until late in the second half. (7-6)
11:30 - Cole Aldrich was hosting a block party in the Colors Events Center. With his rejection of Cory Higgins, Aldrich had three not even halfway through the first quarter. (21-8)
13:29 - Sherron Collins had a huge steal and took it in for two, giving the Jayhawks some brief breathing room. (48-43)

After cold start, freshman guard Engelman heats up
BY ANDREW TAYLOR
ataylor@kansan.com
Freshman guard Monica Engelman only made rare appearances off the Kansas bench towards the beginning of the season, but injuries and the occasional uninspired play of some of her teammates have allowed her to transcend that role and flourish for the lavhawks.
Last Thanksgiving, while most students enjoyed time with family and stuffed their faces with turkey, Engelman and the rest of the Jayhawks fell to a tough Xavier team in the Bahamas.
Engelman played a meager amount of minutes in that loss as well as in another one two days later to TCU. What minutes she did play mostly occurred in the first half and she did not play at key points late in the games.
"We were struggling a little bit and I was craving to be in the game during tough situations," Engelman said.
Over the course of the Jayhawks' two game Bahamian adventure, Engelman went one of four from the field, came up with three rebounds and struggled on defense.
It may be surprising to look at those statistics now, knowing the type of player Engelman has developed into. She has since become a reliable scoring option behind senior guards Danielle McCray and Sade Morris, shelling out relentless effort to get rebounds, and she has a knack for knocking down clutch three-pointers to keep the layhawks in games.
"It gives off energy to everyone and it gives her confidence that she can knock that down," McCray said after a loss at Iowa State, "and it gives me confidence that I don't have to score for us to be in it."
Engelman's development into the player she is now seemed set up by the Jayhawks consecutive losses in the Bahamas. On the dour flight home no player wanted to be the one to sit next to coach Bonnie Henrickson.
"in the airport on the way home everybody's kind of trying to stay away from me," Henrickson said.
"You know like, 'Get away from coach.' It's hilarious."
Henrickson singled out Engelman, though, and the freshman from San Antonio unabashedly asked her coach one question that was on her mind.
"She said, Alright, I've got a question for you. What do I need to do for you to play in the second hall?" Henrickson said. "She really wants to get it right."
With that one simple question,
Engelman signaled, to her coach
and the rest of her teammates she was serious not only about playing on the team, but helping the team win.
"She told me that in order for her trust me, I needed to play defense," Engelman said.
As the season draws to a climax, it becomes even
more essential for Engelman to fine-tune her defensive abilities. She spends a significant amount of her playing time subbing for Morris, generally considered the Jayhawks' best defender.
freshman."
"She told me that in order for her to trust me, I needed to play defense."
Though it'd be hard to completely make up for the defensive intensity that Morris brings to a game, Engelman still struggles at times to contain her given assignment.
Though if that miscue or any of her other defensive shortcomings upset her, it would be difficult to tell just by looking at her on the court. By Henrickson's acknowledgement, Engelman would make one fantastic poker player.
Take for example a Jan. 23 loss at Oklahoma. Engelman guarded her opposition at the top of the key and took a swipe at the ball. She over swung, taking her out of position and allowing the Oklahoma guard to drive straight down the lane for an easy lay up.
Engelman didn't always used to play with such a placid and unchanging face.
"If she ever wants to play poker, you're never going to know if it's a good hand or a bad hand," Henrickson said. "I love that about her. Missed shot, hit a shot, get back-doored, it just doesn't change and that's tough when you'a
"When I was younger, I might have shown a little more emotion, but I've grown into that person," Engelman said of her poker face.
Her ability to mask her emotions is also evident on the offensive side of the ball, where she has found her niche on the team. Engelman scored consecutive career highs in losses to Iowa State and Oklahoma.
MONICA ENGELMAN freshman guard
"Think about Monica Engelman in two games at Ames, Iowa, and here (Norman, Okla.)," Henrickson said. "She's been pretty tough in two road games in the league as a freshman and that's going to help her confidence."
More important than the total points
and the losses is the way Engelman made her shots. In both games when her team began to struggle and while McCray sat on the bench with foul trouble, Engelman took over and sank key shots that kept the Jayhawks in it and gave them opportunities to win. Every time she made a shot her face remained stoic as she prepared for the next play.
"That's a hard thing to do when you're a freshman coming in filling Danielle's shoes," Morris said. "Danielle's a great player and she has big big shoes to fill and she's doing the best she can."
That brief time Engelman gets to shine while the experienced McCay and Morris sit on the bench serves as a brief glimpse into what the future of the layhawks might look like next year without their two senior stars.
"That's what we've been trying to tell her," Henrickson said. "You're Danielle next year, you've got to be more aggressive."
If Engelman is excited about the opportunity to lead the Jayhawks next year, it may be hard to tell just by looking at her.

WASHINGTON — Dominique Jones ignited a comeback by scoring 22 of his 29 points in the second half, and South Florida extended its longest Big East winning streak, stunning No. 7 Georgetown 72-64 on Wednesday night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS

South Florida shot 65 percent after halftime to win its fourth straight conference game, including a 70-61 win over then-No. 17 Pittsburgh on Sunday that gave the Bulls three straight for the first time since joining the Big East in 2005.
The Bulls (15-7, 5-5), who also have five Big East wins in a season for the first time, trailed by 13 points late in the first half and by 35-26 at halftime due to 60 percent shooting by Georgetown (16-5, 6-4). But the Hoyas went cold in the second half and Jones began to show the flair that has him averaging 35 points during the winning streak.
Jones went 6 of 9 in the second half, played 39 of 40 minutes, and finished with eight rebounds and four assists. With 1:05 to play and his team leading by eight points and shooting free throws, Jones walked to the crowd and twice bellowed: "Yall come watch Dominique Jones play!" He flexed
his muscles at the final horn and told the local USF radio crew his "heart was beating too fast" to do a postgame interview.
Greg Monroe had 21 points and eight rebounds — none in the second half — before fouling out with 2:52 to play.
The Hoyas stumbled in a trap game sandwiched between the president-attended win over Duke and an upcoming Saturday showdown against No. 2 Villanova.
Austin Freeman also scored 21 points for the Hoyas, who shot 36 percent in the second half — 24 percent worse than in the first. The Hoyas also missed half of their free throws, making only 11 of 22 for the game.
Jones initially found himself having to work hard to find shots against Georgetown's defense — he missed his first three before scoring on a putback more than 12 minutes into the game. But he helped get the Bulls going in the second half by scoring seven straight points for his team with a driving layup, a steal and a dunk and a three-point play. Mike Mercer tied the game at 42 with two free throws with 12:28 to play, and Jones made a free throw following a steal to give the Bulls their first lead since 10-9.

NEW ORLEANS — Kevin Durant scored 30 points, and Russell Westbrook had 26 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 103-9 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.
Westbrook hit a mid-range shot with 13.7 seconds left to give the Thunder a 99-97 lead. After the Hornets cut it to 101-99 on Peja Stojakovic's layup, Durant hit a pair of free throws with 8.5 seconds left, finally putting away a Hornets team playing without injured All-Star point guard Chris Paul.
Westbrook dominated his matchup with Paul's replacement, rookie Darren Collison.
Marcus Thornton scored 22 points for New Orleans before leaving with a lower-back contusion after a hard fall in the fourth quarter. Stojakovic and David West added 15 each, but Oklahoma City limited West to two points after the first quarter.
The Thunder snapped a 10-game losing streak to the Hornets dating to Dec.26,2006,when the franchise was in Seattle.
Oklahoma City led by as many as 12 and trailed only once, 95-94, but the Hornets hung around until the final seconds despite playing without Paul for the third consecutive game. Paul will have arthroscopic surgery Thursday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and likely will miss all of February. Hornets coach Jeff Bower wouldn't give a timetable for his return.

games.
BY TERESA M. WALKER Associated Press
Vanderbilt (17-4, 6-1 Southeastern Conference) bounced back after losing their first league game last weekend at then-No. 1 Kentucky. The Commodores had been on the road for four of the first six games in SEC play, and they looked very happy to be back in cozy and sold-out Memorial Gym.
NCAA BASKETBALL
The Bulldogs (16-6, 4-3) almost did it again, fighting back from a 14-point deficit to get within 73-72 with 28.6 seconds left on a three-pointer by Dee Bost. Vanderbilt's John Jenkins made two free throws with 6.8 seconds remaining, then Bost missed a 3 before Romero Osby of the Bulldogs missed two free throws with 1 second left.
But this hasn't been an easy series for the Commodores with Mississippi State having won seven of the past 10.
A. J. Ogilvy added 16 points for Vanderbilt, while Jenkins had 12 and Brad Tinsley 11.
The Bulldogs brought in the nation's third-stingiest scoring defense, holding opponents to 36.5 percent shooting. Vanderbilt features the SEC's best shooters in league play, and the Commodores shot 44.6 per cent despite going cold late, not scoring from the field after Festus Ezell's dunk with 4 minutes left.

Jarvis Varnado had 12 points, 14 rebounds and nine blocks for the Bulldogs, while Kodi Augustus had 15 points, Barry Stewart 13 and Bost 12. Varnado and Stewart set the school record by playing in their 127th game. The Bulldogs have lost three of four.

Team will face Irish with ranked pair
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
The Kansas women's tennis team will face the No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in its first home match of the spring season Friday.
Although the Fighting Irish are led by the 12th-ranked doubles team of sophomore Kristy Frilling and senior Kali Krisk, the Jayhawks have their own ranked doubles team, junior Maria Martinez and sophomore Alessandra Dzuba. The two are currently ranked 44th in the nation.
Rankings are determined by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. The ITA's computerized system uses an average points-per-match formula. The top 50 Division I doubles teams are ranked along with the top 100 singles players and the top 75 teams.
Martinez said she didn't know they were ranked until her high school coach sent her a text message.
"We try to play our best, and
whether we get ranked or not comes along with the hard work," Martinez said.
Dzuba said she learned about the ranking from reading an article in The Kansan Friday.
"It was a pleasant surprise, but unexpected." Dzuba said.
Before the ITA
Before the IPA released the rankings, the two had played only three matches together in the Jayhawk Invitational last fall. They went undefeated, winning those matches 8-2, 8-6 and 8-4.
In their first match of the
spring last Saturday against a doubles team from Drake, Martinez and Dzuba won 8-2.
Last season Martinez played with sophomore Erin Wilbert and started the fall season playing doubles with senior Kuniguna Dorn. Head coach Amy Hall-Holt paired Martinez with Dzuba after the first

Martinez and Dzuba have found this similar rhythm
Dzuba said the two have developed a good communication system.

Martinez said she is enjoying the success of doubles, and she has a 7-3 record. She is 6-3 in singles.
"I am playing well, and it is really exciting when you are playing well," Martinez said. "It's just such a great feeling when you are out on the court knowing that and you have more confidence in yourself."
Hall-Holt said the team had everything to gain in this weekend's match against the Fighting Irish, which is 3-1 after a 2-5 defeat to the No. 17 North Carolina Tar Heels Sunday. The Jayhawks are 1-0.
"If we come out on top, and it could very well happen that way, we will approach it like every event like we always have every time we step onto the court," Hall-Holt said.
Matches are free for students and are played at the Jayhawk Tennis Facility, 5200 Clinton Parkway.

Panthers trounce Shockers 59-56

Associated Press
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — Kwadzo Ahelegbe scored 18 points, 15 in the second half, and No. 24 Northern Iowa hung on to beat Wichita State 59-56 on Wednesday night.
Jordan Eglseder added 15 points for the Panthers (20-2, 11-1), who avenged a 60-51 loss at Wichita State on Jan. 19 and took a commanding three-game lead atop the Missouri Valley Conference standings.
Wichita State (19-5, 8-4) buried consecutive three-pointers to pull within 58-56 with 1:54 left, then got the ball back on a Northern Iowa turnover with 31 seconds left. But Toure' Murry missed a three from the elbow, and Clevin Hannah's desperation heave bounced off the rim.
Murry had 17 points to lead Wichita State, which shot 10 of 17 from the free-throw line.
Wichita State's Garrett Stutz plays for a loose ball with Northern Iowa's Jordan Eglseider during the first half of Wednesday's game. Wichita State won 59-16.
Of course, it didn't hurt that Ahelegbe shook off a terrible first half and carried the Panthers offense down the stretch.
It was a typical Valley slugfest, with baskets and style points in short supply. But that's exactly the kind of play the pesky Panthers excel at.
Ahelegbte drilled a pull-up 15-footer and muscled a tough layup in traffic to put Northern Iowa ahead 44-41 with 8:34 left. Eglseder's three-point play off a steal by Ali Farokhmanesh gave the Panthers a 47-41 lead. Wichita State quickly cut it to one, but Ahelegbe followed a three with yet another mid-range jumper to give Northern Iowa a 53-46 lead with just under 4 minutes left.
Ahelebge was 1 of 9 from the field in the first half but finished 8 of 18, helping save an offense that shot just 38 percent from the field.
Gabe Blair added 12 points for the Shockers, who fell to 5-4 on the road.
The Panthers missed 12 of their first 15 shots and fell behind by as much as 18-10. But after a hot start, Wichita State could only muster four points during the $ \frac{9}{2} $ - minute stretch late in the first half, allowing Northern Iowa to jump ahead 25-22.
Murry and Hannah responded with threes in the final 1:18 to give the Shockers a 28-27 halftime lead — despite that Northern Iowa
Northern Iowa hasn't been flashy — in fact, it needed a late rally to steal a 55-54 win at Missouri State last weekend — but its suffocating defense was once again enough to help the Panthers survive.
The loss at Wichita State is the only hiccup in the Valley so far for the Panthers, who now seem poised to run away with the league title.
outbounded them 10-0 on the offensive glass.
Northern Iowa entered play second in the nation in scoring defense at 55.1 points per game.
NBA
Robinson leads Knicks to victory
NEW YORK — Nate Robinson scored 23 points, Al Harrington and Larry Hughes also put in double figures off the bench, and the New York Knicks beat the Washington Wizards 107-85 on Wednesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
David Lee had 22 points and 10 rebounds to help the Knicks avenge a 106-96 loss at Washington on Saturday. New York won for just the second time in
seven games and avoided falling 12 games under .500 for the first time this season.
Harrington, back after a two-game absence with a sore left knee, scored 12 points, and Hughes returned from coach Mike D'Antoni's forgotten list to add 11 in just his third game since the new year.
Brendan Haywood and Nick Young each scored 15 points for the Wizards, who played without starting forward Caron Butler (bruised left knee). Butler was hurt Monday against Boston in the same collision that injured
Celtics All-Star Paul Pierce.
Robinson started the second half for ineffective point guard Chris Duhon, who has struggled with his shot for weeks. Robinson scored six points in a stretch early in the fourth when New York pulled away, including a layup that made it 84-74 with 8:16 remaining.
Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler each scored 15 points for New York. Robinson finished with six rebounds and eight assists.

editor's note //
Growing up, I never much liked crowds.
I was very much my slightly agoraphobic mother's child — anxious, timid, afraid of being touched, dreadful of ever being noticed. Malls made me squirm. The roller rink on field-trip day gave me fits. I would've rather stayed home.
I always wanted to be able to perform like my beauty queen aunt, who waited tables between soap opera bit parts in California, but my mother and L. it seemed, had inherited all of our family's ambition, but none of its joy. We'd been left with all the practicality of life, and none of the art. Around my house, it was only my grandmother, with her classic country records and early-evening gin and tonics, who knew how to dance.
During my first year at the University, after
moving out, beginning to keep my room messy and throwing caution to the wind. I applied to be a DJ with the campus radio station on a whim. And so began my love affair with noise.
Part of growing into my own skin and beginning to let go and enjoy my college experience became intertwined with music and, especially after I turned 21 and was allowed into more venues, with live music.
Last week, I attended indie legend Yo La Tengo's show at the Granada. After working on Japlay nearly all day, I was tired, cranky, entirely uninterested in dealing with the walk in the cold, the withdrawal of cash, and especially not with the throngs of people I knew would be there.
But I also knew it was going to be a great show, knew I'd regret missing it, so I forced myself there, knowing I'd enjoy it once there. And then, during the band's energetic rendition of a cover of a band called The Clean, something struck me — the enjoyment I was getting from the show didn't just stem from the energy of the band, the reason the show was so good stemmed from the energy of the crowd. Everyone at the Granada that night, it seemed, fed off each other; each one of us was individual, but we become
one in that we experienced something made better by being together. In the moment, I couldn't be happier than to be a small part of big, formerly scary crowd.
Check out Kansan photographer Chance Dibben's photo essay on the concert on page 8 to get a visual sense of the experience. Concerts may not be exactly your thing, but chances are you've had at least one moving collective experience.
As for me, I still can't dance very well, but I've come closer to finding my joy.

essential life skills // BLOG YOUR PORTFOLIO
in case of emergency, read quickly.
The web is a great way to put yourself out there, whether it's chatting with friends or searching for a job.
Hosting your portfolio on a blog is an easy and accessible way to keep your work displayed and up-to-date year-round for employers to find.
Meaghan O'Connell, director of outreach for Tumblr.com, one of many similar user-friendly blogging sites, says Tumblr's dashboard has post icons for text, photo, quote, link, chat, audio and video. This feature makes it simple for students of many different majors to publish their work, whether it is art, film, writing or design.
Another advantage of blog culture is its ability to bring people together based on their shared passions. O'Connell says communities form amongst bloggers with similar interests, which is great for inspiration and networking with your target audience.
If your followers really love something you post, or vice-versa, Tumblr.com allows you to re-post others' blogs on your own site. However, if you do this you should always use proper attribution and make sure others are giving you credit for your work. Plagiarism is not a skill you should add to your resume.
Publishing your work with simple blogging sites such as Tumblr gives potential employers easy
access to your work and contact information and shows you have the social networking skills key to growth in several fields.
Your first spring job interviews may still be a few weeks away, but perhaps it's time to jump on the blog bandwagon and catch those employers in your web.

living vicariously through others is ok with us.
Geoff Deman doesn't come home to an ice cold beer. He brews it.
A Lawrence native, Deman has been professionally brewing for 15 years, the last seven of which have been at Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St. He is the assistant head brewer there.
After spending a semester with a friend in Berkeley, Calif., Deman says he discovered his love for brewing in college. Later, Deman returned to Lawrence and started brewing like crazy, eventually leaving for Seattle, where he worked for the Pike Brewing Company.
When a spot opened back in Lawrence at Free State, he took it.
As assistant head brewer, Deman's days are spent checking fermentation levels of the two-to-four batches of beer that Free State pumps out a week and prepping the various containers that beer moves through in each stage of its creation. Each batch yields 14 barrels at 31 gallons each. Deman says Free State rolled out 3,200 barrels last year.
Since Free State opened a new production facility across town, batches of its flagship beers have shifted to the new building, allowing the downtown site to shift focus to new specialty and seasonal beers, which Deman says has
been a lot of fun and has expanded the brewery's repertoire.
Deman's advice to aspiring young brewers is persistence. He says the profession takes a certain fortitude, an attention to detail as well as a balance of brawn and a keen mind, Oh, and of course, love and respect for a good beer.

Q&A // BRYCE AVARY — THE ROCKET SUMMER
because we have questions, celebrities have answers.
Bryce Avary writes, produces, sings and plays every instrument for indie-rock solo project The Rocket Summer. Avary, who releases his fourth full-length album, Of Men and Angels, Feb. 23, recently took some time to talk with Jlayplay about music, life and his love of performing.
Jayplay: How would you describe the style of your music in one sentence? Bryce Avary: When my first record came out, Tim Wheeler, the singer of Ash from the U.K., said, "The Rocket Summer is like sunshine in a can."
JP. What instruments do you play?
BA: I know how to play the sort of standard rock band outfit instruments — piano, drums, guitar and bass. I can kind of mess around on other things, but I really only know how to play one thing. Like on Do You Feel [the band's third album] I play harmonica on one song. I just went and got a harmonica, practiced for a couple hours and figured out the part. I wouldn't call myself a harmonica player. I just know how to play that one part that I wrote.
JP: Have you ever considered recording with
a full band or do you prefer going solo?
BA I've definitely considered having a full band play on the record, in fact on this newest record our guitar player that plays live played on two of the tracks. But I really enjoy going in the studio and I push myself really hard to be efficient on each instrument.
J. P. What is the meaning of your new album's title, OF Men and Angels?
BA: The title actually comes from a Bible verse, 1 Corinthians 13:1, which says, "if I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol." And then it goes on to talk about how nothing matters except for love, how we treat people and how we put things in our life down to lift others up.
JP: What is your favorite song to perform?
BA: It's always fun to play "So In this Hour," because there's so much power and you can really feel it in that song, especially live. It's just something about the spiritual meter in the room kind of goes to ten on that song.
JP. What is the most fulfilling thing about performing?
BA: I think the most fulfilling thing is seeing what the music does to people. I perceive it as how God works through the music.
JP. What is something people would never guess about you?
BA. I'm actually a black belt in karate, Also, I think that a misperception about me is that I'm some extremely lighthearted, happygo-lucky person, which is definitely not the case? Not that I'm some angry person, but I've definitely had a lot of real struggles and a lot of private things, so I feel like I'm constantly fighting some sort of battle. So it's kind of funny when people are like "Bryce Avary is the happiest guy in the world," and people in my life that know me are like "that is the weirdest perception of you."
JP What do you hope the future holds?
BA: I hope for a journey of learning more about life and God with good health along the way. And lots of good songs.

self-propelled transportation and
literature (and who don't fear serious
injury). The Performance Caddy,
which sells for $14.99 at Amazon,
com and Performancebike.com, is a book stand that attaches to bicycle
handlebars so you can read while you
ride.
It's one more way to get in some last-minute reading before class or squeeze in a quick chapter of Into the Wild on a weekend mountain biking trip.
Just don't let the book caddy distract you too much from the scenery. Or the traffic. In fact, if you do hear about this product in the future, it may be because it's caused a bicycle accident. But that extra five minutes of reading on the way to work will be totally worth it.

FUTURE of books
As e-books become popular, technology changes the way we read
// ANNA SOBERING
SONY
Chapter 1
Do you have a bright cold day in April, and the clocks are striking the hour. What do you do then? Should you stay in bed? Do you wake up early to get ready for school? Do you go out and catch the bus or ride to work? Can you stay home with your family and enjoy the weekend? Can you go to the movies or do some online shopping? Are you going on vacation or exploring new places? Is it time to start working or take a break from life?
The book is a gripping tale of a young girl who faces challenges as she navigates the world around her. As she learns more about herself and her place in the world, she realizes that sometimes the things we want are not what they should be. And as she faces her own fears and doubts, she learns that true happiness comes from living a life that is rich in experience and meaning.
Pick up a book. Feel the weight and the texture of the cover. Flip through the smooth and glossy pages. The smell is indescribable. A book, sitting on a shelf, is like a trophy representing time spent and lessons learned. Whether a book serves as a significant reminder or not, it nevertheless sits proudly next to others, endlessly waiting to be picked up and read again.
But what happens when this is no longer how you interact with the written word?
In 2007, Amazon.com released the Kindle, a wireless reading device commonly known as an e-book reader. Other companies quickly jumped on the bandwagon, releasing similar devices to read books and other content digitally.
But these products weren't without their faults and shortcomings. The Kindle, for example, experienced complaints about its lack of backlighting and limited utility.

You have changed the way readers appreciate literature, replacing paper pages with digital screens. The e-book's advanced features even include note-taking and highlighting for studious college kids.
In 2008, Michael Eckersley, professor of interaction design, taught a graduate design class that took part in a theoretical project to redesign the first generation Kindle. The project, based on consumers' hopes and expectations for future e-book readers, allowed the students to practice redeveloping products for commerce and industry.
Eckersley says the students redesigned it to be more functional, developing the ability to share books and access wireless internet.
"We're trying to meet and anticipate student needs," Smith says. "E-book readers are something students are incredibly interested in. So far, we've had overwhelming positive feedback."
However, not everybody is enthusiastic about reading a screen instead of a traditional paper page. Ian Hrabe, 2009 graduate, doesn't think e-books could ever replace the real thing.
In the fall, because of student feedback, the University became involved in the growing circulation of e-books, making four Sony Readers available for check out at Anschutz and Watson Libraries.
Rebecca Smith, communications and advancement director for KU Libraries, says the Sony Readers have been so popular they are planning on purchasing four more.
"There's something incredibly satisfying about reading a book that does not translate to a digital medium," says Hrabe. "I guess it's like comparing an MP3 to an LP. Sure, they offer the same content but there are huge differences in the way you're actually experiencing the music."
The influx of e-book readers, however, don't necessarily mean the death of traditional print. Marian Schembari, contributing editor of digitalbookworld.com, doesn't deny the disadvantages of e-books.
"First of all, as a book lover I'd prefer to curl up with a book, not some device," she says. "I also love the smell of books, and that's not something you can get with a Kindle or a Sony Reader."
Schembari also says she doesn't think that print books will ever completely cease to exist. "People also collect books. It's hard to collect PDFs," she says.
One aspect of e-book readers that's exciting for students is the possibility of replacing traditionally heavy and expensive textbooks with one digital device.
Over time, as new devices are released with
"There are so many cool options like looking up words directly on the device, highlighting, note taking capabilities and videos embedded directly into the 'book'," Schembari says.
The biggest problem holding back e-book sales is the cost. Ranging from roughly $250 to $1,000, people are still hesitant to put their money into something that is likely to improve as the technology develops. However, for frequent book buyers, it may be more economical to buy an e-book reader.
The newly released Apple iPad mentioned the ability to download textbooks, but did not go into detail about future capabilities. The iPad is less of an e-book reader and more like an oversized iPod Touch on a 9.7 inch LED-backlit screen. Among its features, the iPad allows for application downloads, internet browsing, e-mail access, photo and video display, GPS access, and an iBook reader through the iBook app. The Wifi version will be available at the end of March and ranges from $499-$699. The 3G version will be available at the end of April and ranges from $629-$829.
more functions and sleeker formats, e-books will become more entrenched in our everyday lives. Whether we are checking them out from the library or buying one for our own personal convenience, e-books have a place in the future of book and media formats. Jp

// WORDS AND PHOTOS BY CHANCE DIBBEN
Longevity is always mentioned with the band Yo La Tengo. During their January 26 show at the Granada, guitarist and vocalist Ira Kaplan even joked about it. "We've been together for what 12, 13 years?" he asked the other members jokingly. Try 26 years. Most bands are lucky to have a successful 10, but like that other alternative rock institution Sonic Youth, YLT remains resilient as the years let on, improving with age. It's not so much maturity the overused term that seeks to explain late-period flourishes in artists' career — but rather instinct and insight. In fact, like their youthful cohorts and tourmates, Times New Viking, YLT were decidedly noisy, tight, and expressive, playing a two-hour set that never waned.

kansas in heat (print edition) // GET SOME SATISFACTION
Relationship researcher of relationship advice.
Relationship researcher Mike Anderson tackles the sticky world
of relationship advice, one weekly Jayplay column at a time
briggs briggs
Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn., graduate student, is the host of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationship thatairs Thursdays at 7 p.m. on KJHK, 90.71m and at jkhk.org.
*THE OPINIONS OF THIS COLUMNIST DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF JAYPLAY KANSAS IN HEAT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP
Sexual satisfaction isn't the only aspect of a healthy relationship, but research shows it is a big part of the puzzle.
Indeed, an increase in sexual satisfaction is accompanied by an increase in love and commitment, as shown in research by Sue Sprecher. In my opinion, a couple's sexual satisfaction is a good barometer for the overall strength of the relationship.
But the tricky part, of course, is exactly how to go about increasing sexual satisfaction within a relationship.
The frequency of sex is important to a sexual relationship, but it is the quality of sex that can predict a relationship's outcome. There's also a connection between achieving orgasm during sex and achieving higher relational and overall sexual satisfaction.
To increase the overall likelihood of orgasm and satisfaction, I highly recommend taking the time to get to know yourself and your partner's wants and desires as well as likes and dislikes. Research by Cupach and Comstock discovered the quality of communication about sex promotes positive sexual encounters.
preferences is one of the most important things you can do to facilitate a healthy sex life and improve the quality of your sex. This communication allows you to negotiate an enjoyable sexual script and know what turns your partner on.
Communicating about your sexual desires and
Open communication about your sex life will also help you broach important topics such as sexual fantasies and your desires to experiment.
A 2004 study by Sprecher and Cate found that couples with sexual variety and experimentation were more sexually satisfied than couples with little to no variety or experimentation. Getting stuck in a routine can be a major hurt to your sexual fulfillment.
But "experimentation" can mean what you want it to: I'm not saying that you have to experiment with S&M tomorrow. Experimentation can come from trying new positions, incorporating sex toys or even role playing.
Couples who feel comfortable and open enough to talk about their sexual desires and fantasies are those who will end up having the best sex lives.
But what really feeds into our sexual satisfaction is the ratio between sexual rewards and sexual costs in a relationship. That ratio, along with an overall satisfied relationship, accounts for 75
percent of the variance in sexual satisfaction.
In our relationships we need to discover ways to increase the sexual rewards. Again, I think these rewards come from knowing our partner's preferences. If we treat sex as a medium of expression for our love, then our sexual behavior becomes strongly connected to our romantic love. For the majority of individuals, sexual satisfaction is strongly associated with relational satisfaction. A lot of our sexual satisfaction comes from positive communication.
You may be amazed to discover what fantasies and desires you share with your partner. But whatever you find, I'm confident you'll be glad you asked.

catch of the week // ALLISON RICHARDSON
our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
ALEXIS JONES
Contributed photo
HOMETOWN: Lenexa
YEAR:"Perpetual student — I graduated in May of 2009, but I just keep taking classes. I can't quit Lawrence, I can't.".
MAJOR: Art History and French
INTERESTED IN: Men.
**Turn ons:** Nice hands, because I hand model,
Seriously, I do. The lumberjack look, aka beard/
scriff, flannel, boots. I think that it might have
something to do with the Brawny man. Not
being an asshole, I think that this one may be
self-explanatory.
Turn offs: Really short, bitten-off fingernails. Men who chew with their mouth open — this is honestly the most disgusting thing in the world and it's not the image, it's the noise. Not showering. Guys with a funky sack (please catch the Dane Cook reference).
Hobbies: I play soccer with a co-ed team for the Lawrence Adult Soccer League and we're pretty badass. I also take photos! I love photography and I'm currently internting at a photography studio in Kansas City. I also like to totally geek-out and play video games, read some comic books and watch horror movies. I'm basically a 15-year-old boy's wet dream.
Ideal first date: My ideal first date can basically be summed up in two words: not awkward. Beyond not being awkward, it's really cool when a first date is something completely unexpected, like laser tag or roller skating.
Ideal characteristics in partner: The ability to grow a beard and being tall. I'm six foot tall, so finding someone that is as tall or taller than me is pretty awesome. The ability to grow a beard goes back to the whole lumberjack thing. Confidence is always hot, but being cocky or arrogant is not. Humor is extremely important. I like it when boys can laugh at themselves, because more than likely, I'm also going to laugh at them.
Turn on first statement: "I love George's Pizza." They can't just say it of course, they have to truly love George's Pizza (it's in Overland Park at 95th and Antioch). I think it's the best pizza in the world and I've been eating there since I was in the womb (ask my mom). Actually, I might marry a guy if he said that line and brought me a hamburger pizza with provel cheese.
Worst date: There are a lot to choose from, there has been a (sort of) dine and dash, dates that I didn't realize were dates, etc. However, I think that the best worst date would have to be junior year prom. I went with someone because they caught me off guard when they asked me. It was horribly awkward all night. He literally wouldn't give me any breathing room (he waited outside the bathroom door for me), and then asked me to be his girlfriend at the end of the night. It caught me so off guard that I laughed in his face. It was bad.
Best date: I don't think I've had it yet.
Type: My "type" is awesome. I know it's really cliché to say that you want the cool, nice guy, but that's really what every girl wants. The bad boy is nice for a crush or a few dates, but that's really all he's good for.
Interests: Photography pretty much consumes my life, but, beyond that, French, really bad movies, weird music and soccer.
Favorite quote: "I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end."
— Draw Barremore
Notices first in a potential partner: The first thing I notice on a guy is his jawline. Kind of odd, but a strong jawline is very attractive.
Getaway Paris. It's my goal to have a movie-style kiss under the Eiffel Tower.

this weekend // ART OF UTOPIA AT THE SPENCER
because those CSI marathons are getting old.
Our tragic human flaw may be our desire for perfection. From plastic surgery to hippie communes, people are constantly looking to improve themselves and society. But, is a utopian society tangible or ultimately unattainable? The Spencer Museum of Art, 1301 Mississippi St., unveiled the exhibition "The Conversation VII: Utopia/Dystopia," on Monday to explore this concept.
From photographs to prints, more than 40 works are on display on the south wall of the 20/21 gallery. Each artist questions utopia as an expression of a communal dream.
The art is intended to promote discussion about western ideals of perfection, says Olena Chervonik, graduate research assistant with the Spencer. "Utopia is an embodiment of a perfect future as it's envisaged by a particular society."
Often, the distinction is not clear whether what mankind has created is improving or damaging society. Chervonik says the idea of a utopia depends on your point of view, which became the driving force behind the project. It becomes both a private concern and a social interest. "What's perfect for one person might be a nightmare for another person," Chervonik says.
The exhibition is divided into two sections. "The Age of Technology" explores the pre-
modern world's scientific and technological achievements. "The Ideal City/The Ideal Society" examines the creation of a perfect community.
You can create your own discussion and explore the exhibition, which is open until the end of May. Admission is free.

'CARNIVOF SOULS'
/ ABBY OLCESE
A car with two young men pulls up next to a car filled with three girls. "Look what we got here!" one of the men tells his friend. "Wanna drag?" he asks the girls. His friend revs his engine.
The driver of the other car listens as he tells her: "See that telephone pole right there? We'll take you to it."
"Sure," she replies. Her passengers look at each other, a little worried. The two cars rev their engines and take off. The drivers race each other down the road and onto a bridge. Halfway across, the girls scream as their car is run off and falls into the river below. The boys in the other car jump out, run to the edge of the bridge, and look down. The girls' car is gone.
After dragging the lake for three hours, a lone survivor emerges. She climbs onto the river's muddy bank looking dared, claiming she can't remember what happened.
So begins Harold A. "Herk" Harvey's 1962 movie, *Carnival of Souls*, a horror film made in three weeks with a budget of $30,000. *Carnival of Souls* tells the story of Mary Henry, the survivor of the drag race car crash, who moves to Utah after the accident to become an organist. Once there, she becomes fascinated with an abandoned carnival on the outskirts of town, and is haunted by the ghosts who inhabit it.
Carnival of Souls was shot on location in Lawrence and Saltair, an abandoned amusement park on the Great Salt Lake in Utah, by Harvey, a former KU professor of film, who made educational films for the Centron Corporation.
Matthew Dessem, creator of the film blog "The Criterion Contraption," says the amusement park is one of the film's more striking qualities.
"I immediately responded to the location stuff at Saltair," Dessem says. "That's such a great, creepy location."
Perhaps the most impressive scenes in Saltair involve the main pavilion, a massive room decorated like a dance hall with chandeliers, streamers and ornaments hanging from its ceiling and littering the floor. During Mary's first exploration of Saltair, she ventures onto a balcony overlooking a part of the Great Salt Lake. She throws a stone into the water, and as it sinks the audience sees a pale corpse lying just below the surface.
The movie's enduring characteristics, however, are the B-movie elements that stem from its low budget. The movie's main goul, for example, is played by Harvey himself, who wanders around the film staring eerily at Mary, wearing white
greasepaint with black around his eyes. Dessem admits that the first time he saw Carnival of Souls he thought of it mostly as a camp B-movie.
According to Bill Sellner, who worked with Harvey at Centron and played a small role in the film, the movie's premiere in Lawrence received a lot of attention. "Maybe it was because the idea of a theatrical film production by local guys was astonishing," Sollner says.
Unfortunately the movie didn't do too well in its initial release. Sollner says it went on to have a cult following in Europe, but Harvey never made a profit from his film. He continued to make movies for Centron, and went on to teach film production at the University, Oldfather Studios, situated in the former Centron headquarters, has a soundstage named after Harvey, who died in 1996. Over the course of his career, Harvey made 400 films for Centron, but "Carnival of Souls" was the only feature film.
"Carnival is a classic example of seat-of-the-pants, low-budget moviemaking in which pure creativity triumphs over financial constraints," Butler says. "Beyond which, it has a visual sense unequaled even by some big-budget films."
In the years since, however, Harvey's $30,000 movie has found its place in cinema history, inspiring directors like David Lynch, Francis Ford Coppola, Stanley Kubrick and George Romero, who modeled the zombies in Night of the Living Dead on the ghosts in Carnival of Souls. In 2000, Criterion, a company that collects and releases high-quality editions of important classic and contemporary films, released Carnival of Souls on DVD as part of their collection.
Dessem says the influence of the movie can be considered even beyond the filmmakers it originally inspired, because the directors who drew from it became so influential themselves.
Robert Butler, film reviewer for The Kansas City Star, says it's Harvey's creative ability to work within a tiny budget that has made "Carnival of Souls" so influential.
"Romero's zombie movies would have been different had he not seen Carnival of Souls, and the same could be said for David Lynch's films." Dessem says. "If you take just those two guys and consider the number of films that have drawn from their work, you can trace a pretty widespread ripple effect of people who have been influenced by Carnival of Souls without necessarily knowing it."

REVIEW
music review // YEASAYER - 'ODD BLOOD'
KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption (SECRETLY CANADIAN)
KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption.
The pre-hype consensus among Sterogum staffers and people I know seems to be that Odd Blood isn't as good as the Brooklyn threesome's 2007 debut, All Hour Cymbals. Indeed, noting the albums' inclusion of love songs and departure from Yeasayer's previously successful "Io-fi haze," The New York Times led its review with the statement "Yeasayer is braced for backlash." But I apparently wasn't cool enough in 2007 to hear All Hour Cymbals, and, dammit, I really like Odd Blood.
The synth-driven, dancey-but-dark, world-influenced sound fits in well with comparisons to (a more eighties-influenced version of) Dirty Projectors, (a more straightforward version of) Animal Collective or (a more accessible version of) Health, but still manages to sound fresh.
"The Children" is a really different, crunchy digital opener that manages to be both melodic and unintelligible. It leads into "Ambling Alp," the motivational, high-energy lead single. "I Remember" is a standout as a good rotay track in that it has a really killer hook in its catchy (for-shadowing) chorus of "you're stuck in my mind all the time."
Odd Blood is a little front-heavy, but there are a lot of good beats, strategic clapping, well placed
sitar and interesting vocals to explore and 1, for one, think people will warm up to it quite a bit once it gets some deserved airplay.

music review // THE MAGNETIC FIELDS -
KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. 'REALISM' (NONESUCH)
Realism is, I've heard, the conclusion to the Magnetic Fields' post-69 Love Songs "no synth trilogy." After 2008's shoegaze Distortion, Realism is Magnetic Fields" folk album."
I will always love (and often gush about) Stephin Merritt's song-writing genius, which is again on display in Realism. However, something about the album is familiar but a little empty, like Merritt's signature but with the soul sucked out slightly. Rather than being torally relatable and complete narratives present on the tracks indicative of Merritt's unique style, Realism tracks such as "The Dolls' Tea Party," "Walk A Lonely Road" and "Painted Flower" come off as irrelevant aural still lifes.
I think my hookups with Realism stem from the fact that the stripped down folk concept isn't quite right for Merritt's (literal and figurative) voice – there's not just enough to play around with like there was on Distortion and the result isn't as fun.
All things considered, though, the majority of the songs here are smart, sardonic, cathartic, funny and tightly-structured - all the things that make the Magnetic Fields great. Even if the psychedelic-folk inspired instrumentation
isn't all that much to write home about, the lyricism and melody make up for it.
"I Don't Know What to Say" is gorgeous and sweeping; "The Dada Polka" gets the folk concept the best and the gang vocals are super sweet and enjoyable.
If you like Magnetic Fields, give this a shot and then decide for yourself. If by chance you're not familiar, give this a shot and then go get the rest. You can thank me later.

WHEAT STATE PIZZAS
With all the populist ballyhoo surrounding James Cameron's *Anatar* steadily building into legitimate Oscar buza, it would be tempting to dismiss a film such as *Crazy Heart* as just another haggard face in the awards season bumis rush. But resist the temptation. *Crazy Heart* is an elegant, if uneven, meditation on heartbreak and redemption, elevated by a fearless lead performance from Jeff Bridges and a reliably rustic country soundtrack by 10-time Grammy winner T-Bone Burnett.
Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
Bridges inhabits the whiskey-clogged soul of Bad Blake, a faded country music star whose once promising career was swept away in a flood of booze and broken marriages. Meanwhile, Bad's former musical protegé Tommy Sweet. (Colin Ferrell) has become a full-fledged country superstar, playing Bad's greatest hits to sold-out crowds every night; generally riding the coattails of his teacher's busted dreams.
After years of hard living, Bad grudgingly accepts Tommy's offer to open for him in Santa Fe and soon meets the lovely reporter, Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal). Their eventual romance sparks a creative renaissance, inspiring Bad to pen his first new material in more than three years.
The basic plot bears many striking similarities to last year's comeback saga, "The Wrestler." And like that earlier Mickey Rourke film, "Crazy Heart" often veers into a glut of
movie review // 'CRAZY HEART'
Both actors even sing, including a poignant final ballad entitled "The Weaty Kind." The song, a stirring ode to love and loss, is alone worth the price of admission, especially Bridges' serene final cut. The Dude still abides, man. Now give him an Oscar.
The veteran actor, equally at home in comedy or drama, imbues his character with a rough-hewn, laconic charm that gives way to startling wellsprings of honest, aching emotion. He won't be forgotten in the Best Actor race. And Colin Ferrell, in his best performance since "In Bruges," makes us sense Tommy's concern for his old mentor without ever expressing it.

saccharine sentiment. Bad's attempts to overcome his alcoholism and reconnect with his estranged son would smack of overindulgent melodrama if it weren't for the strength and soulful dignity of Bridge's performance.

My struggle with gluten and lactose intolerance
DOLLY HARRIS
he smell emanating from the kitchen fills the house and my mouth begins to water with the thought that soon I will be able to
enjoy a warm, homemade chocolate chip cookie All I have to do is ask my roommate if I can have one. But for me it's not so simple anymore. I can eat the cookie. But I really shouldn't.
About a year ago, I found out that I am both gluten and lactose intolerant. This means my body has a hard time digesting foods containing wheat and dairy.
In the past I have been known to have gastronomic issues, but I never thought they were actually caused by anything. It was always perfectly normal for regular meals to feel like a rock or even a balloon in my stomach. But all of this was before my allergic revelation.
Gluten, a protein found in grains like wheat and oats, is known to be difficult for humans to break down during digestion. Still, intolerance to this protein is commonly misdiagnosed, even though, according to www.foodreactions.org, as many as 10-15 percent of people may have some form of gluten intolerance.
The prevalence of the more commonly known sensitivity, lactose intolerance - the inability of the body to digest lactose, which is found in milk and other dairy products - depends on genetics and ethnicity.
Many times if a parent has a food allergy or sensitivity their children will have it too. So things didn't look good for me when my mother found out she was gluten intolerant. Especially because of my history of digestive problems, I was sent in for testing.
Sitting in my bedroom, about to go out for dinner at an Italian restaurant, I read my test results. The biggest regret I felt as I read that I'm both gluten and lactose intolerant was that I wouldn't be able to have lasagna at dinner.
After getting my results, things going on with my body began to make sense. No wonder pizza never sat well with me. But how would I ever enjoy eating without these two majorly delicious components of a meal?
Out of all the relationships I have sustained in my life to date, the most tumultuous has been with food. I now struggle saying no to certain crusty breads and creamy cheeses that I used to enjoy so thoroughly. My body has decided to spite me with an intolerance to yumminess. I can do nothing to stop it or change the outcome. I

have to live with it.
What makes me so upset about the whole situation is that I love good food, and I eat it with pleasure. But now I can no longer savor some of my favorite foods such as warm Brie on crackers crepes and banana cream pie.
When I found out about my intolerance, it felt like a little part of me had died. And naturally, like any major loss, I went through stages of grieving.
Initially I was in denial. Continuing to eat gluten and dairy, I ignored my test results and suffered the repercussions. They're not pretty. For some it may be skin problems or headaches and for others it may be gastro-intestinal problems like bloating, diarrhea and excessive flatulence.
Another reason gluten intolerance is so consequential physically is because it damages the stomach and intestines and doesn't allow for the absorption of nutrients. So, even if I eat a bunch of healthy foods, I won't benefit from them.
Batter up. Anna Sobering makes a gluten-free and dairy-free yellow cake with raspberry filling and chocolate frosting. Sobering was diagnosed as gluten and lactose intolerant about a year ago, forcing her to give up some of her once favorite foods.
I soon became angry as I began to understand that my body really hated me for what I was eating, I blamed my mother for passing on her faulty food genes, temporarily forgetting all the pain and sacrifice she went through to produce and raise me.
"Out of all of the relationships I've sustained in my life, the most tumultuous has been with food."
That didn't work out so well either. My stomach would have none of it. Finally, I gave in to my sadness and went into a full blown gastronomical depression.
I began bargaining with myself after I apologized to my mother for my unappreciative attitude. I thought, "Maybe I could eat eating just a little bit of this sandwich?" Or "Just a little piece of this Cotswold cheese?"
It took me a while to accept my condition. I struggled, cheated and suffered the consequences. I would be really good for awhile, then I would get a craving and give in to my urges.
Over time, however, I found out that being sensitive to gluten and lactose these days isn't the end of the world. I didn't want any more drama. I just wanted to feel good again. So I did my research and found tons of cookbooks and web sites for people with food allergies.
Ultimately, I had to change the way I thought about food and learn how to eat balanced meals again. Especially as a college student, completely controlling what I put into my body is a challenge.
Over time, however, I have come to appreciate foods that I might not have tried otherwise.
Grains like basmati rice, quinoa and flaxseed bread have become substitutes for foods I used to eat like pasta and whole wheat bread. I use almond milk in my cereal and soy milk when I'm cooking. As for cheese, I have not come across anything completely lactose-free that has satisfied my cravings. So I eat cheeses that are said to be easier to digest, such as goat cheese and feta.
After I got though my dramatic "what will I ever do with out bread and cheese?" phase, I had to move on and eat foods that are better for me I'm still making progress. My next goal? Breaking up with that oh so satisfying glutinous beverage that we all know and love — beer.

K2 drug task force targets two local businesses

Two stores in northeast Kansas that sell the herbal blend drug K2 were served with federal warrants Thursday and one store owner was arrested.

KU student wins Super Bowl tickets
Patricia Shaw is going to the Super Bowl.
Shaw, a senior from Olivet, Mich., entered a raffle through the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and won the grand prize — tickets to Super Bowl XLIV.
The raffle was part of a joint venture by NSCS and CODA, a job networking and career search site. More than 300 NSCS members created a profile on CODA, and each were entered into the raffle, said
Janine Deegan, communications coordinator of NSCS.
Shaw, who's taking her father with her to the game, said she usually watched the Super Bowl at home with her friends and family. But for the first time in her life, she'll be able to watch the game in person, something she said she had been looking forward to.
"I'm very excited," Shaw said. "I had entered just to do the business profile -- I didn't expect to win."

Pulitzer Prize winner receives KU journalism award
BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com
Leonard Pitts Jr. is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the Miami Herald. He is visiting the University today to receive
the William Allen White Foundation's National Citation at 1:30 p.m. in the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

individuals yearly. Nominated individuals are professional journalists who have made a notable contribution to an informed public and who have won broad acclaim and respect at a national level
from their peers over a significant period of time, according to the press release. Ann Brill, dean of journalism, is the president of the foundation.
The Kansan spoke with Pitts about receiving the award.
What do you think the future of journalism is?
There will always be a need for gathering and reporting and disseminating news and what's going on. The question is what form it will take. I think that print media are in a decline, and I don't know if we're going to see a reversal of that. I'd frankly be happy if it stays the way it is. The fear is that if and when print media go away, then who is going to be performing the watchdog function on local and state government? National news, broadcast news and cable news don't do that. Local news covers local
Q&A with Leonard Pitts
murders, sports teams and weather. They don't really get into originating reporting on what's going on in the statehouse, on what's going on in the government mansion. I think there's a real danger if we lose newspapers, we lose something that's not replaceable.
What are your thoughts on the relief efforts in Haiti?
I am glad that they've been so mas
sive. I know that they've probably been a little bit confused at times, but I think that is going to be part and partial of any large effort like this. I'm glad that help seems to be getting to people who are in desperate need of it.
What kind of impression do you want to have left on journalism?
The only thing that I hope to do as a writer is to inspire people to think, and maybe change some minds, but at the very least, to think, which I don't think we do nearly often enough. If I encouraged thought, I'd be perfectly satisfied with that.
What does receiving this award mean to you?
Receiving an award is validation. It means that somebody thinks you've done a good job. And for a lot of us as
writers, we are very self-critical. And we don't always realize when we've done good work, so it's kind of nice to have someone to pull you out of gazing at your own navel, and pat you on the back, and say that's a good piece of work you did. That's always very welcome and very gratifying and very much appreciated.
What do you read?
I read Miami Herald, The Washington Post, The LA Times, CNN.com. I don't watch too many of the news broadcasts, I read The Atlantic monthly, Entertainment Weekly, Kathleen Parker, David Border, George Will, Stephen King, Larry McMurtry, James McBride, novels, history, biography, non-fiction. I read a lot of stuff.

Campus project lets students be the movie critics
BY ELLIOT METZ
emetz@kansan.com
With the Oscars coming up next month, a lot of experts are offering their opinions on what makes movies great. Now a project by the Lewis and Templin residence halls is putting that decision into the hands of University students.
The project, "Lewis and Templin Presents: The Greatest American Movie," kicked off its first round of voting. Wednesday and Thursday at Wesco Beach and the Kansas Union.
The project began with a list of 100 movies loosely based on a similar list from the American
Film Institute. This week's round of voting pared the list down from 100 to 50 movies. Over the next three weeks, the list will be whittled down to a list of 10, said Cody Charles, complex director for Lewis and Templin in an e-mail.
At that point, the voting will head to a "Greatest American Movie" website, which will host the voting along with a forum and discussion board on which students can debate the possible winners.
On March 4, the winning movie will be shown at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union at 8 p.m.
VOTING SCHEDULE:
Edited by Kirsten Hudson
100 movies down to 50:
■ February 3 and 4
50 movies down to 25:
■ February 10 at Mrs. E's from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.
■ February 11 at Oliver Hall from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Officers face penalty for destroying records linked to racial profiling
BY JACQUES BILLEAUD Associated Press
Associated Press
PHOENIX — A federal judge will decide whether to impose sanctions against the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for its acknowledged destruction of police records in a lawsuit that accuses deputies of racially profiling countless Hispanics in immigration sweeps.
U. S. District Judge Murray Snow heard arguments Thursday over whether the law enforcement agency should be punished for throw

You can see Tad Carpenter's graphic artwork almost anywhere — from the walls in Wesco Hall to the pages of magazines and children's books around the world.
But the artist himself can be a bit more difficult to track down, unless you're a KU student. He teaches on the second floor of the Art and Design

"He never questioned what he was going to do," said Becki Carpenter, Tad's mother. "All they did was draw."
Becki said when Tad was in grade school, he entered a drawing contest for the ticket design of the Kansas City Chiefs. Tad won t he contest, which

Melanie McQuade, a junior from Lenexa, said she also appreciated the input from Carpenter because of his experience in the field.
Tad said he tried to prepare his students for the real world by sharing his current projects and how that translated from the classroom into day-to-day situations.
This month Tad is working on multiple projects.
That includes a children's activity book with San Francisco publisher Chronicle Books, as well as books with publisher Simon and Schuster. He said his most exciting project right now was designing all of John Mayer's concert posters for February and March with Vahalla.
Tad said his favorite part of
working in design was the constant change.
"It's always different which is why design is so exciting." Tad said. "You become an expert in a little field for a couple months and then you move on."

KU alum flips at chance to return
BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com
Sixyears ago, Jun Kurtibayashi, a Lawrence native and 2004 graduate, was what KU students refer to as a "towne." Now, he travels across the country to perform difficult stunts, flips and catapults as a feature dancer with the dance theatre Pilobolus.
Tonight, hell show his hometown and his alma mater what he can do when Pilobolus performs at 7:30 p.m. at the Lied Center.
"I saw a Pilobolus performance here in 2002," he said. "That's really insane to be performing on the stage where I was oo-ed and aw-ed on the audience side."
Pilobolus, a non-traditional and modern dance theatre, uses collaboration and improvisation in its choreographic approach, according to the press release. Tonight's show marks the second Pilobolus performance at the Lied Center. Dancers perform stunts such as flips and contortionist movements, resulting in a six-piece program that Karen Christilles, associate

director of the Lied, said is both innovative and creative.
Making the performance look easy, though, involves a bit of acting, Kuribayashi said.
"Not only do you have to lift me with one arm over your head, you have to look like you're enjoying it and that it's like nothing," he said.
In looking forward to his second Pilobolus performance at the Lied, Kuribayashi said his experiences as a student in the University's dance department helped him transition into his career as a professional dancer.
"They put up with me," he said. "Ultimately, it came down to them not trying to mold me in the image of what a professional dancer should be."
Kuribayashi's previous professors and many current dance students will be in the audience to support one of their own.
"It's always wonderful for students to see graduates of their degree program be so successful," said Janet Hamburg, professor of dance. Hamburg had Kuribayashi in four of her classes during his time at the University and said she is very proud of him.
It is this support and pride that Kuribayashi said he looks forward to when he returns to Lawrence.
"I hear back from all my teachers," he said. "You feel a sense of community here."

Earthquake rattles Northern California
SAN FRANCISCO — Residents of Northern California's Humboldt County were rocked by a magnitude-5.9 earthquake Thursday, but officials said there were no immediate reports of major injury or damage from the second large temblor to hit the area within a month.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported the quake struck at 12:20 p.m. about 35 miles northwest of the community of Petrolia and nearly 50 miles west of Eureka.
The shaking was felt within a 150-mile radius, as far north as southern Oregon and as far south as Sonoma County, according to the USGS Web site.
Local officials and residents reported feeling a rolling sensation that caused items to fall from walls and shelves. Many said the movement didn't feel nearly as severe as the magnitude-6.5 quake that struck the same region Jan. 9 and caused more than $40 million in damage and one serious injury — an elderly woman who fell and broke her hip.

BEER
The brew, not the glass, is a smash
LONDON — Soon Britons will be able to get smashed at the pub while their pint glasses won't.
The shatterproof pint glass was proudly unveiled by the government Thursday. Officials swore the country would save billions in health care costs by coming up with a glass that doesn't double as a lethal weapon.
But noticeably, no officials were talking about reforming the British
binge drinking culture at the root of the problem.
There are about 87,000 alcohol-related glass attacks each year, with many resulting in hospital visits, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said as he introduced the two prototype shatterproof pint glasses.
"Glassing causes horrific injuries and has a lasting and devastating impact on victims and their families," Johnson said. "I hope these designs will help bring an end to such attacks."

RAPTOR (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
ing off its feet that are seven inches long," Martin said. "This would be like trying to run with snow shoes that are taped onto your feet, sideways."
David Alexander, an assistant professor of biology and expert on modern animal flight, said the four-winged gliders couldn't fold their wings into a neat package like other birds because the muscle attachments didn't allow for it; the seven-inch feathers at its feet stuck straight up.
Amanda Falk, a graduate student from Milan, Mich., said the Micraptor would have had serious problems on the ground.
"Chances are pretty good that it probably moved around on the ground like a sloth," Falk said.
Team members said they used an innovative technique to mold the Microraptor fossil by making three-dimensional casts of the bones.
David Burnham, vertebrate paleontology preparator and lab supervisor at the museum, embedded an optimum clear plastic sheet to hold the bones in place, poured rubber over both sides to make an impression and made a plastic cast from the impression.
"Plastic replicas are easy to manipulate so, in that manner, we were able to reconstruct the skeleton," he said. "People think these fossils are like holy artifacts and can't be touched. But, if you're going to learn from fossils, you have to prepare them and use them as scientific objects."
Alexander said after tweaking the glider model a few times -- creating breakaway wings, distributing the center of gravity between the front wings and developing a catapult for stability -- the team received stable results.
"When we released the model, within any one session, it was pretty consistent," Alexander said. "We had a lot of good glides. Setting it off an eight-foot ladder we were getting 30 to 40 feet glides and from a ten-foot ladder we saw 60-foot glides."
A new theory emerged from the glider's success.
Burnham said an animal that uses gravity to navigate, like the Microraptor, makes sense. The ground-up theory of the origin of flight is essentially like the anti-gravity approach — it has to have special conditions.
"We just fell back on common sense and tried to see if we could have a logical, simple explanation for this," Burnham said. "It's problem solving in the simplest form."
In December, Larry Martin, David Burnham and Amanda Falk, three team members involved in the research of the Microraptor, discovered the poisonous aspect of the animal while they were attempting to delineate the different species of the Microraptor.
First Venomous Raptor
Martin said he and Burnham began to look through published descriptions of the animal and noticed noticed unique grooves in a bone in the upper-jaw called the maxillary, a bone often found in venomous animals.
The Microraptor's cousin, the Sinornithosaurus, wasn't such a friendly fellow.
OTHER NOTABLE PALEONTOLOGY FINDS FROM THE PAST
Edited by Kelly Gibson
This past summer Martin and Burnham went to China to verify what they had found and to visit with their colleague, professor Enbu Gong, who had a significant role in the Microraptor research.
Martin said their trip confirmed their hunch and, while they were looking at other museums in China, they found two more specimens of the same kind of animal.
500-Million-Year-Old Jellyfish
Three University researchers uncovered "fossil snapshots" of jellyfish more than 500 million years old. The oldest was found in October 2007.
One of the researchers, Bruce Lieberman, professor of geology and senior curator of invertebrate paleontology at the Natural History Museum, said the significance is three-fold.
"We showed that jellyfish probably evolved much earlier than had been suspected," Lieberman said. "Or they underwent a really incredibly rapid period of evolution."
Lieberman said some of the jellyfish they found could be described as similar to modern forms of jellyfish, which suggests the ancient jellyfish to be quite complex. In the past, jellyfish
lived similar lifestyles as modern jellyfish, but their eating habits still remain a mystery.
"Although we don't know that yet," Lieberman said, "it means that oceans early on, 500 million years ago, were ecologically much more complex than what had traditionally been thought."
Paulyn Cartwright, assistant professor of evolutionary biology,and Jonathon Hendricks, postdoctoral researcher in geology, were also part of the discovery.
Connection in Spider Evolution
For almost 20 years the evidence was right in front of their eyes.
Paul Seldon and his colleague Bill Shear didn't realize that the fossils they found almost 20 years ago would lead them to the missing connection between the species orders of today's spiders and ancient spiders from the past.
In 1989, the duo found what they believed to be the oldest-known spider preserved as tiny fragments, about 380 million years old. Seldon, Gulf-Hedberg distinguished professor of invertebrate paleontology, said the fragments could be recognized by their distinctive cuticle pattern and pieced together.
"It's like a jigsaw puzzle with only half the pieces and no picture on the box lid." Seldon said.
In the 1990's Seldon and Shear, the Trinkle professor of biology at Hampden-Sydney College, collected more samples in upstate New York. Their findings indicated abnormalities in the shape of the spider, including a tail.
In December 2008, it dawned on Seldon and Shear that what they had actually found was a new order of arachnids. They classified this order as Uraraneida, which translates to tailed spiders.

Charges filed in sweat lodge deaths
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.
Motivational speaker James Arthur Ray was arrested Wednesday on manlaughter charges after three people died following a northern Arizona sweat lodge ceremony he led last year.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz
His first court hearing was scheduled Thursday. If convicted, he faces a minimum of three years on each count.
Ray has built a multimillion-dollar empire as a self-help superstar who teaches people about financial and spiritual wealth, and uses free seminars to recruit followers to more expensive events. He soared in popularity after appearing in the 2006's Rhonda Byrne documentary "The Secret," and he promoted it on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and
"Larry King Live."
The Oct. 8 sweat lodge ceremony was intended to be the highlight of Ray's five-day "Spiritual Warrior" event at a retreat he rented near Sedona.
About halfway through the two-hour ceremony, some began feeling ill, vomiting and collapsing inside the 415-square-foot structure. Despite that, Ray urged participants to push past their physical weaknesses and chided those who wanted to leave, authorities and participants have said.
Two people — Kirby Brown, 38, of Westtown, N.Y., and James Shore, 40, of Milwaukee — passed out inside the sweat lodge and died that night at a hospital. Liz Neuman, 49, of Prior Lake, Minn., slipped into a coma and died a week later. Eighteen others were hospitalized.

Three of our political columnists share their thoughts on the proposed budget.

Politically Correct
On Monday, President Obama proposed a $3.8 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2011. The budget includes a notable three-year spending freeze on many domestic programs in an attempt to curb the rising deficit. The budget focuses on stimulating economic growth, especially through the creation of new jobs.
ALEXANDER
The Observer
BY LUKE BRINKER
For a president who campaigned on a pledge to make a clear break from Beltway gimmicks and politics as usual, Obama's $3.8 trillion budget represents, overall, a sobering disappointment.
To understand the pitfalls, it is first necessary to acknowledge a few constructive items. Nodding to the urgent need for the U.S. to better compete in the global economy, Obama said the administration will increase education funding by more than six percent. Additionally, more federal support will be devoted to research and development. That includes an increased commitment to investment in nuclear power, which should win the president praise from Republicans.
More controversial is the decision to allow the Bush administration's tax cuts to expire for Americans earning more than $250,000 each year. But one needn't be a soldier on the front lines of class war to realize this makes economic sense. As economists have pointed out, tax cuts for the wealthy don't carry much bang for the buck. The affluent are more likely to save the extra money than to put it back into the economy.
Reviving economic activity, of course, ought to be the president's top focus right now. Deficits are dangerous, but will only increase further if spending cuts are imposed. Less demand generated in the economy brings fewer profits for business and lower tax revenues.
So the president's call for a three-year freeze on non-defense discretionary spending is particularly mystifying. This spending represents a mere 14 percent of the overall budget.
Avoiding discussion of entitlement reform and cuts in the gargantuan defense budget makes little sense if the administration wants to have an appreciable effect on long-term deficits.
The inevitable result of persistently high unemployment would, ironically, have far more disastrous political implications than running temporary deficits.
Instead, political pressure may tempt the administration to prematurely cease stimulus spending.

Liberal Loudmouth
BY BEN COHEN
bcohen@kansan.com
It's hard not to see Obama's proposed spending freeze as a concession to fiscal conservatives who have pushed back on other parts of his agenda.
Though it does not cover health care (that irony would just be too astounding), it also does not cover military spending.
As patient as I try to be with Obama (yes, there are times when I disagree with him), I worry that the spending freeze will embolien congressional conservatives.
Still, belt-tightening may be helpful as the American economy claws its way out of the pit the last administration dropped it into. So, maybe this move will pay off.
Job creation is also a big part of the president's plan. This could prove more beneficial than any government program (yes, I really did just say that something is more helpful than government programs).
This could prove disastrous, given that the Republican Party is already acting like it is back in power, simply because it is now slightly less of a minority in the Senate.
And if there isn't a major economic turnaround by the end of Obama's first term, antsy republicans and liberals who aren't closely affiliated with the Democratic Party will both complain that the freeze was to blame.
Overall, the spending freeze is definitely not the kind of thing I would have considered.
One side will say that it wasn't enough and that outright massive budget cuts were the only real solution.
It is an unorthodox decision, at least for a democrat.
The other will complain that it prevented the government from actively improving beneficial social programs.
I hate to admit it, but if the freeze fails, I'll probably agree with that latter group.

The Right Idea
Obama's spending freeze is nothing short of smoke and mirrors.
The programs Obama intends to freeze only account for 14 percent of the overall budget. This is essentially a freeze on the regular departments.
BY CHET COMPTON
ccompton@kansan.com
And increase he did, to astronomic levels. Last year alone, the Obama administration increased the budget of the EPA by more than 35 percent.
But what President Obama doesn't say is that last year, he had free reign to increase the levels of spending in these departments as much as he wanted.
A normal increase in one year for the departments included in the freeze would be about three to five percent.
So the freeze is doing exactly the opposite of what it looks like. Rather than reducing spending, it is locking in the huge increases instituted last year.
So when a freeze is instituted on a department with the ballooned budget it now has, it essentially locks in that budget as normal.
The massive "stimulus" bill pushed up spending for this part of the budget by about 40 percent, from $420 billion in 2008 to $699 billion in 2009.
Obama's freeze means these departments have a fixed budget of $447 billion, which is still higher than 2008 levels and 71 percent higher than the levels authorized in the year 2000.
That's like McDonalds pulling the McDouble from the dollar menu and charging $3. Then to cope with the tough economic times, reducing the price to $2 and expecting customers to think they are getting a bargain.
Here is another important trick. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that only 18 percent of stimulus funding will be spent in 2009.
Who is Politically Correct?
The reason Obama has the freedom to freeze a small part of the budget is because he still has massive amounts of cash pouring in from the rest of the stimulus package to help him fund his favorite big government projects.

HEALTH
Organics beneficial for body and wallet
College students seem to have a few universal priorities: They like
to save money, actively pursue good food and always look for the easiest way to get things done.
When many students hear someone talk about organicthis and organic-that, they brush it off for one of two reasons. One, they don't see a benefit in being organic, or two, they see a benefit but simply don't think they have the money.
Let me correct these false assumptions.
People in the first group are just not seeing the obvious. Organic foods and products have many benefits. For one, there are more nutrients in many organic fruits and vegetables. Last year, the American Association for the Advancement of Science declared that organic tomatoes have higher levels of vitamins, such as Vitamin C. Another example is organic spinach, which not only contains higher levels of Vitamin C, but also has lower levels of nitrates. That means, dear frugal student, organic foods pack more nutritional bang for the buck.
In addition to the superior nutritional benefits, organic foods help the environment. Studies by the AAAS have shown that growing apples organically enriches the soil.
So now, with an understanding of the real benefits of organics, the only argument remaining is the assumed expense of organic products.
Organically Speaking
What if buying organic didn't cost much more? Or what if, in some cases,buying organic could even save money?
Both are true.
Just like with shopping for conventional products, shopping for organics requires being savvy. Just because one store
PENELLA MORRIS
BY RACHEL SCHWARTZ
Don't just limit searches to Walmart and other traditional supermarkets, though. Instead, shop at a health store, specialty store or farmer's market. These places often have more variety and options; plus, it is easier to bargain for a reasonable deal.
Buying organic doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. Prioritize shopping lists and decide what is most important to buy organic.
A good list to have while shopping is the Environmental Working Group's "Shopper's Guide to Pesticides." This includes a list of the "Clean 15," the 15 conventionally grown fruits and vegetables with the least pesticides. There is also a list of the "Dirty Dozen," the conventionally grown fruits and vegetables with the most pesticides.
Simply choosing to buy the organic varieties of the 12 items in the Dirty Dozen can reduce an individual's exposure to pesticides by 80 percent, according to the EWG.
With benefits to the body, environment and pocketbook there is no reason not to buy organic.
Schwartz is a sophomore from Leawood in journalism.

PLAN A PARTY
Super Bowl XLIV on a budget
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
lhendrick@kansan.com
Whether you care about which team leaves the Sun Life Stadium proud, The Who and Rihanna's halftime performances or the collection of pricey commercials, it's a given that we can all stand unified on one aspect of Super Bowl festivities: the grub.
Throwing a party on a student budget, however, can be tricky.
Cherika Boyde, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said she planned to throw a watch party with her roommate and expected 15 of her friends to attend. They're planning on making hot wings, Rotel queso dip and brownies without breaking the bank. She said they'll use items they already have and try to stay under $20.
Pat Thompson, a senior from Shawnee, said he and his roommates are hosting a pot luck watch party on Sunday to keep

The Decisions: Is it cheaper to buy premade snacks or make your own?
The Deciding Factors
Hy-Vee offers an array of premade snacks, including smoked wings, large sub sandwiches, veggie trays, cakes cookies — you name it. Considering the costs of the premade items verses the costs of making them will determine how much time will be spent in the kitchen instead of watching the game.
Hy-Vee premade items available:
■ Smoked ribs $10/slab
■ Smoked wings $3.99/lb (6-8 wings per lb.)
■ Mini shrimp tray $5.99/lb.
■ 2-foot sub sandwich $13-$20 (feeds 8-10 people)
■ Veggie tray $19.99
■ Guacamole dip $4.59

Because wings, a veggie tray and guacamole are must-haves, it's wise to think about how much it would cost to make these items before buying them from the deli.
WINGS
- 2 lb. Chicken wings value pack $6.64 (about 16 wings)
- Frank's Hot Sauce $2.27
Total with tax: $9.61
vs.
2 lbs. wings at the
deli for $3.99/lb for
approximately $9
VERDICT: For the amount of work it takes to cut the wing from the drum and bake them, a dollar extra for the premade wings might be worth it, but they might not taste as good.
VEGGIETRAY
Baby carrots $1.68
Broccoli $1.18
Celery $.98
Cauliflower $2
Veggie dip $2.50
Total with tax: $8.99
VS.
Premade veggie tray for $19.99
VERDICT: Definitely make the veggie tray. It's nearly half the price. You get twice as many veggies and you can buy more of a variety, like tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers.
GUACAMOLE
■ 2 Avocados $2 Premade
■ Guacamole dip mix $.98 guacamole
Total with tax: $3.21 for $4.59
VERDICT: Make it. It's fresher and cheaper.
QUESO DIP ESSENTIALS FOR LESS THAN $16
Hy-Vee is offering a steal this week. If you buy a two pound brick of Velveeta cheese and two cans of Rotel you can get a $6 coupon for a 1.5 quart slow cooker valued at $9.99. The slow cooker is $3.99 with the coupon.
- Kraft Velvetta cheese $4.49
- Two cans Rotel tomatoes $.88 each
- Two bags of Hy-Vee Tostado Bites $1.17 each
- Ground beef $1.49
- Kitchen Selectives slow cooker $3.99 (with coupon)
Total with tax: $15.17
Here's how it breaks down:
16 homemade wings: $9.61
Homemade veggie tray: $8.99
Homemade guacamole: $3.21
Queso essentials with slower cooker coupon: $15.17
Salsa: $6.46
Total: $43.44
With $6.56 to spare, why not throw something else into the mix? Add breaded raviolis with marinara for $3.60 and have a little money left.
Goal accomplished.

Sophomore forward Marcus Morris' current hot streak started with his benching at Nebraska. In the wake of his most recent performance, the Cornhuskers should be afraid of what they helped create.
It took Morris three tries at point-blank range, but the ball finally went in the hoop and he drew a foul, essentially putting the game out of reach.
With just under three minutes left in Kansas' 72-66 overtime victory against Colorado on Wednesday, the Jayhawks had a five-point lead when Morris grabbed a rebound off a Brady Morningstar miss.
"I gave everything I had on that last play," Morris said.
Coach Bill Self said it was the high note on an otherwise lackluster night for the No. 1 jahawks, who certainly didn't play like the top-ranked team.
"That was the best basketball play of the game," Self said. "From a competitive standpoint, guys are really tired and he goes after his ball three or four times and gets a putback."
Self didn't want to discredit Colorado by saying that Kansas played down to its competition. He still wasn't encouraged by what he saw from his team.
"Our team definitely took a step backward tonight," Self said.
In preparation for Saturday's game, the Jayhawks have a lot to work on.
The Jayhawks are 7-0 in the Big 12 but, like the game against the Buffalooses showed, their opponents' records don't seem to matter these days. Nebraska is the only team with a worse conference record than Colorado, yet they had Kansas down double digits in the first meeting.
They shot a season-low 47.4 percent from the free-throw line while veterans threw the ball over each other's heads.
In the second half, they didn't have a single three-pointer and Self estimated his team only had two long-range jump shots.
"That's why we missed all our free throws — the ball was going too far," Sherron Collins said with a smirk. "It had to be the altitude. Had to be."
Self wasn't one for jokes after the game. "I don't think we made a shot outside of three feet," he said. "I don't know how that happens."
Collins said he gave up trying to shoot in the second half. Instead, he drove to the basket and attempted to draw fouls.
Weston White/KANSAN
When he did draw the foul, he made 4-of-6 from the line but missed key free throws late. The rest of the jayhawks didn't look much better. Morris shot 2-of-7, Cole Aldrich went 4-of-7 and Markieff Morris went 3-of-9.
The Jayhawks won't win many games shooting like that.
"Tomorrow," Collins said after the game, "I guarantee you we will shoot over 150 free throws."
Sophomore forward Marcus Morris hits a layup to extend Kansas' lead to 65-60 with 3:17 left in overtime Wednesday night in Boulder, Colo. Morris finished 6-of-14 from the field for 15 points. Kansas remain perfect in the Biq 12 to 7-0 following a 72-66 overtime victory.

COMMENTARY
Boisterous bench buoys Jayhawks, annoys refs
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
BY MAX ROTHMAN

twitter.com/mrothman
One look around Mizzou Arena last Saturday revealed no more than 50 blue shirts in the stands. Yet after every big Kansas play, there rang a boisterous boom.
Game after game, especially on the road, referees patrol the Kansas sideline like agitated hall monitors. Kansas will need the bench's energy once more when the Jayhawks play host to Kansas State at 1 p.m. Sunday.
It was the Kansas bench and the officials were yelling at them again.
"The goal is to have the refs kick the bench off the court," sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland said.
"I love that the refs hate you
Led by their spiritual anchor, freshman Tania Jackson, the bench collectively acts as an extra set of cheerleaders, hollering words of encouragement. No matter what the referee may do to temper the noise, Kansas' bench will always be heard.
guys$^{17}$ coach Bonnie Henrickson said to her team after that 72-59 victory Jan. 17 in Missouri.
Often that means finding ways to exaggerate the meaning of every single play. Whether it's nothing more than the recovery of a loose ball or as big as a game-clinching defensive stand, the reaction is always the same.
"I'm surprised they haven't teched us yet," freshman Annette Davis said.
"My goal is to lose my voice every game," Jackson said.

KU fans divided by Tyshawn's talents
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
twitter.com/I_ Dwyer
I've come to discover a few things in my brief time here at Kansas. Jayhawks don't like Tigers, Jayhawks don't like Wildcats. I once proposed a theory that Jayhawks just don't like completely generic mascots.
That was a long time ago, though. My latest theory, one I think we can all benefit from, is something I like to call the Tyshawn Taylor Corollary.
I don't know why it's a corollary, instead of a postulate or a theorem or something else of that ilk. I just like the way corollary sounds. Work with me.
The key to this corollary is that there are very few jayhawk fans who are apathetic towards Taylor. In fact, I don't know any. There is Taylor love. Then there is Taylor "mean muggin."
Anyways, the Tysawn Taylor Corollary goes as follows: A person can learn anything they need to know about a Kansas fan by knowing how the aforementioned Kansas fan feels about the Jayhawks' enigmatic sophomore point guard, Tysawn Taylor.
Let's start with Exhibit A (Subjects A & B): Subject A, lets call him Tom, loves Taylor, citing plays like his and one layup against Dominique Sutton in overtime of the Kansas State game. He's overwhelmed by Taylor's NBA skill set and ability to beat any man to the hole.
Back to the corollary. No corollary is a corollary without case studies.
Tom is a low-stress individual. He is optimistic. He is quick to forgive. He will readily focus on the positives of a laj Hawks game, even when they go to overtime against freaking Colorado when his friend the writer has a deadline to make.
Tom is also engaged to Subject B, we'll call her Janice. They are happy together, in the way that opposite ends of a magnet are happy together. Janice hates Taylor, citing plays like his errant pass against the Wildcats that went somewhere in the vicinity of Danny Manning, who no longer plays for the Jayhawks. She can't get past the fact that he has a tendency to be turnover-prone and wishes he wouldn't play in crucial moments.
Sorry, I needed to get that out of my system.
Janice is a bit high strung, especially when it comes to Jayhawk sports. She is a calculating person, prone to working all the angles in her mind before acting. She knows that going to overtime against Colorado is not something the Jayhawks should be doing with such a talent disparity on the rosters and writers that need to make deadlines.
The practical uses of the Tyshawn Taylor Corollary are endless. Now hiring? See how the applicant feels about Taylor. Now single? See how the applicant feels about Taylor. There is not a wrong answer, per se. The world needs Subject As and Subject Bs. The Corollary could just save everyone a little time.

Three selected in preseason poll
Rivals.com has tabbed Kansas juniors Brian Heere, Tony Thompson and T.J. Walz as preseason All-Big 12 performers, marking the team's most preseason all-conference selections since it joined the Big 12 in 1997.
Heere, an outfelder from Lawrence, batted .364 during his sophomore campaign while tallying five home runs, four triples and 40 RBI. Heere was also named to the All-Big 12 Second Team, and later to the Chapel Hill Region All-Tournament team for his post-season efforts.
The Rivals.com selection becomes yet another preseason accolade for Thompson, a third baseman from Reno, Nev., as he's already been named a preseason All American by three other publications. Thompson won the conference's Triple Crown last season, leading the league in batting average (.389), home runs (21) and RBIs (82). For his outstanding sophomore season, Thompson received a plethora of national attention, including First Team All-Central Region and First Team All-Big 12 honors.
Walz, a right-handed pitcher from Omaha, Neb., racked up a team-high eight wins and 88 strikeouts last season, which earned him a spot on the All-Big 12 Second Team. Five of Walz's eight victories came against ranked opponents, most notably a 3-2 win over No. 4 Arizona State, and a complete game shutout against No. 9 Baylor.

MORNING BREW
Playing the numbers game
Beating Missouri on the road to complete a perfect Big 12 season wouldn't just give Kansas a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament
It would be Kansas' 2,000th victory, an accomplishment only achieved by Kentucky so far. Now,2,000 victories is purely a number and it doesn't hold much significance beyond being the number 2,000,but it is a good mark of the overall dominance of the top programs.
The interesting subplot is that Kansas is only third in all-time victories. North Carolina is nearing the finish line and has 1,997 all-time victories.
M. J. BALDI
When the year started, it seemed as though Kansas had no chance at catching Roy's Boys before they reached 2,000 victories. Carolina brought in a top recruiting class, and, though they were losing a great deal of the team that won the national title, it was North Carolina. The Tar Heels would eventually figure it out.
Surely the Tar Heels would win 5 games in ACC play, sing the second-to-
Early season results made it appear they had. North Carolina opened the season with a 11-4 record and hung with top dogs Kentucky and Texas. Inexperience was an issue, but the youngsters were talented.

2000-victories crown and claim their all-time dominance against any team except Kentucky. The message boards would spontaneously combust with Carolina fans bashing the Kansas program.
But the Tar Heels aren't on that pace now. The team's 2-4 record — including three losses at home — to start conference play has brought Kansas back into the 2000-victories conversation, KenPom.com, a site that uses advanced statistics to predict future games, says that North Carolina will win just twice more in conference play, including a loss to Duke on the road on March 6.
If Kansas runs the table — unlikely, but still somewhat possible — a victory against the hated Missouri Tigers would give the program its 2,000th victory. On March 6.
THE MORNING BREW
Yes, the same day that North Carolina might lose to its rival.
I realize we are dealing in purely hypotheticals, and a lot of things have to go Kansas' way for it to be in contention. Roy Williams will probably rally his team, pull a couple upsets in ACC play, sneak in the NCAA Tournament and upset somebody. Kansas has to beat Texas on the road, a tough Kansas State team at home and win at Missouri. The approximate odds of all this all happening are pretty slim
But North Carolina has opened the door and invited Kansas inside. If Kansas keeps winning and North Carolina keeps struggling, there may be a lot more on the line March 6 than a single game.

Purdue holds on for first victory at Indiana since 1999
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Robbie Hummel and Jaluan Johnson each scored 21 points and No. 8 Purdue held off in-state rival Indiana 78-75 on Thursday night.
The Boilermakers won in Bloomington for the first time since 1999 to snap an eight-game road skid against the Hoosiers.
E Twaun Moore added 14 points for Purdue (19-3, 7-3), which won its fifth straight heading into a showdown at conference leader Michigan State next Tuesday.
Indiana's Verdell Jones III, who led the Hoosiers with 22 points, missed a long 3-pointer at the buzzer that could have forced overtime.
Tom Pritchard scored a season-high 13 and Devan Dumes added 11 for Indiana (9-12, 3-6).

St. Louis' home struggles continue
Sharks' early lead proves too much for Blues to handle
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Patrick Marleau scored his 38th goal to remain tied for the NHL lead, helping the Western Conference-leading San Jose Sharks beat the St. Louis Blues 4-2 on Thursday night.
Ryane Clowe and Devin Setoguchi also scored, and backup Thomas Greiss had a strong game in goal for the Sharks, who rebounded from their lone regulation loss in the last 11 games after squandering a two-goal

Patrik Berglund had a goal and an assist for the Blues, who are an NHL-worst 9-15-5 at home while getting outscored 90-71. Backup goalkie Ty Conklin, who made 27 saves, fell to 0-6 at the Scottrade Center.
St. Louis had shown signs of improvement at home recently, getting points in its previous five games, but played catchup most
Conklin is 1-6 at home overall, including a victory over the Red Wings in a season-opening series in Sweden, and 7-2-1 with a 1.70 goals-against average on the road. He got the start a day after Chris Mason helped the Blues win 3-2 in Chicago.

line," Davis said.
Jackson said her voice was a key part of her high school team's dream of a state title.
"It's something I've been doing all my life." Jackson said. "It just carried over to this team."
Senior Kelly Kohn also adds to
the persistent bothering of referees and team energy boosting. Kohn strives to help out her team in any other way.
"Iimagine if you just had five people playing and nobody backing you up," Kohn said. "It's not a team."
"Angel, I've been there. I've airballed three in a row before, but I came back and hit two of the most important threes after that," Kohn said to her.
Goodrich got the message.
Kohn explained her point as it pertains to Angel Goodrich's final game of the season. Before going down with a season-ending knee injury, Goodrich started the game with two air-balls. Kohn pulled her aside and tried to talk her out of the slump.
"She came out in the second half and had 13 points and hit a couple
of shots," Kohn said.
While it may be an unconventional approach, cheering to the point of annoyance has proven effective. When the action on the court responds to the energy off of it, electric fast breaks and high arching three-pointers pull Kansas
back into the game.
The only downside: the referee will never be your friend.
"I'm at the end of the bench" Jackson said, "so I don't know why they get at me."

Key to the game
Seniors
On Jan. 9 Kansas State simply embarrassed Kansas in Manhattan by a score of 59-35. After the game seniors Danielle McCray and Sade Morris acknowledged a lack of intensity on their part that trickled down throughout the team. A small rough patch followed that game, but recently McCray and Morris have spear headed the Jayhawks two consecutive wins. If that trend continues against the Wildcats, the Jayhawks may be able to avenge their previous loss and pull their conference record to 4-4.
Keep an eye on
Aishah Sutherland
Sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland was one of the few bright spots for the Jayhawks in their first meeting against the Wildcats. In 30 minutes of playing time Sutherland scored a team high 12 points on six of eight shooting from the field. Since then she has been a little inconsistent as freshman forward Carolyn Davis has emerged into a starting role alongside Sutherland. If Kansas can get both of its starting forwards rolling, then it should really help out its half court offensive sets.
PARKS
Sutherland
Opponent to watch
Ashley Sweat
Kansas State's senior forward Ashley Sweat is the primary reason for her team's moderate successes this season. She averages slightly more than 18 points per game, which ranks fifth in the Big 12. Sweat has played impressively in her most recent contests as she scored 31 in an upset of Iowa State and then 22 points in a loss to Baylor. In the Wildcats first meeting against the Jayhawks this season, Sweat dominated, scoring 24 points in 40 minutes of play.

Scott looks forward to renewing rivalry
A year ago in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, Jordan Scott went head to head with Rice's Jason Colwick in a showdown of two of the top pole vaulters in the country. Colwick bested Scott with a height of 5.60 meters and won the gold medal while Scott's 5.45 meters earned him a bronze.
On Saturday Scott will meet Colwick again, this time in the Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Neb.

there is a rivalry, he doesn't find it as important as getting points for the team in competitions.
"Points for the team and doing the best I can is what matters," Scott said. "If he jumps a foot higher than I do and
if I don't reach that but I reach a

us get a victory then I'll take that."
The pole vaulters are coming off a strong showing in the Jayhawk Classic as four layhawks had final jumps above 4.60 meters and placed in the top four spots. Scott's jump of 5.20 was enough for first place.
"We work very well together," Scott said. "We have a lot of talent and when we put it together we all have good results."
As a senior, Scott has been around enough to handle a showdown between the nation's best vaulters and a possible NCAA Indoor Championship preview.

NCAA discusses expanding tournament
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NCAA has met with conference commissioners, university presidents and athletic directors about the possibility of expanding the men's basketball tournament.
So far, it's slow going.
The NCAA started talking about expansion in the fall, along with numerous topics in all 88 championships, and hasn't gotten past the discussion stage yet.
"It's just a series of ongoing dialogues with interested parties, but nothing definitive to even analyze at this point," NCAA Senior Vice President Greg Shaeen said.
It certainly hasn't stopped the conversation,
and believe its a necessary step to accommodate a growing game. There are more teams than ever — 347 in Division I — more depth in the bigger conferences and more talent at the mid-maior level.
Many coaches and administrators like the idea of expansion
Whether it's increasing the tournament field to 68 (four play-in games instead of one) or enveloping the NIT to make it a 96-team field, more teams are bound to add up to more excitement, the thinking goes.
Another argument is that a larger field would give teams from smaller conferences a better chance of getting in. Giving automatic bids to the regular-season and conference tournament champions would reward consistency while still allowing for surprise.
"If you're talking about adding more teams, I don't think the games would change a bit," Texas Tech coach Pat Knight said. "They'd be just as competitive and I think you could see more Cinderella stories, more teams people didn't think had a chance and there'd be a lot more upsets if the NCAA expanded the tournament."
"That would add more relevance to the regular season, instead of just having big games being bracket busters and things like that." Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said.
M. J. BERRY
In the current format, 18 percent of the teams get into the NCAA tournament and another 9 percent receive invites to the NIT. That's far below the number of teams that get postseason berths in football: 68 of 120 teams, or 56 percent. By comparison, 53 percent of NHL and NBA teams get
into the playoffs, 37 percent in the NFL and 26 percent in baseball.
But to some, that low percentage is part of what makes the NCAA tournament special.
"I think it makes it a really special tournament when only 64 get in," Washington State coach Ken Bone said. "I really like the way it is right now."
Villanova coach Jay Wright directs his team during the first half of the game against Seton Hall, Feb. 2, in Philadelphia. The NCAA is considering expanding the men's basketball tournament field.
The counter argument? If it is so special, why not let more teams and players feel it, too?
"The magnitude of the NCAA tournament now is so big that it's just a great experience for a kid to have that opportunity to play." Maryland coach Gary Williams said.
For now, it's all speculation. The NCAA isn't sharing details of its plan — to the chagrin of some coaches — and doesn't seem close
to making a decision.
"It's worth discussing, but I'm not sure I've seen anyone who's come up with what would be the
best formula” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “But I do believe it will be expanded in the next decade.”

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas (21-1, 7-0) gets its first chance for a season sweep when Nebraska (13-9, 1-6) comes to visit. In their first matchup, the Jayhawks rebounded off their first loss of the season, beating the Huskers in Lincoln 84-72. That was the game where Thomas Robinson started in place of Marcus Morris and eventually turned Morris into the Big 12 machine we see today. After barely getting by Colorado, the second to worst ranked team in the conference, the Jayhawks hope to have a more satisfying result against the dead-last Huskers.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Xavier Henry
It's getting repetitive, but he has to break through sometime. Again and again, Henry proves
he is far more comfortable and effective at home and the opposite when he's away. Since conference play began, it's like he's a
completely different player than who we saw in non-conference games. He is a freshman after all and they are known to go through extremes. If he wants to get back to his 20-plus performance potential, he might want to do it soon. Nebraska is a good start.
QUESTION MARK
Were the past two overtime games just a result of being on the road?
Going into overtime against 18-4 Kansas State was understandable. But going into 11-11 Colorado's house with a nice fan following after blowing them out a year ago and struggling is a little disheartening. The Buffalooes were without one of their best players, Alec Burks, but still gave the Jayhawks all they could handle. The Jayhawks are probably sick of close games at this point and a home game against a non-threatening opponent is a good cure.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"Tomorrow, I guarantee you we will shoot over 150 free throws."
After shooting 47.4 percent from the free throw line against Colorado, Sherron Collins knew Thursday's practice would be dedicated to the stripe.
COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY

Sherron Collins, guard
Collins didn't get off to a good start in Colorado, going 1-7 from the field in the first half. But just when his team started to feel some adversity, he poured in 14 of his 16 after halftime. The Jayhawks are never out of the game as long as Collins is around.

Morgan Stanley
Brady Morningstar, guard
Morningstar has become quite the assist man, averaging just under four per game since joining the starting rotation five games ago. He finished with six points against Colorado and had a couple of steals.

Xavier Henry. guard
The struggles continue for the once-dominant freshman. He has played a total of 33 minutes in the past two games combined and in those games had a total of nine points. He is either in foul trouble or turning the ball over while not making enough plays on the offensive end. His worst games are on the road, so expect a better outing against Nebraska.
FREDERICK C. HARTLEY
★★★☆☆
The sophomore is bringing it. Add another 15 points and eight rebounds, not to mention the most impressive play of Wednesday's game against Colorado. You can knock him for his free throw shooting (2-of-7) or his in ability to put in easy shots (6-for14 from the floor). But you can't knock his effort. He had five offensive rebounds against the Buffalofoes, three coming on the

Aldrich
If the Jayhawks can consistently get Aldrich the ball inside and Morris can do his
damage on the offensive glass, this duo will be scary good. Aldrich dominated Colorado, getting his fourth consecutive double double with 16 points and 14 rebounds as well as five blocks. He was 6-8 from the floor and 4-7 from the line. He has the high efficiency, his teammates just need to make sure he produces at high value.
★★★★
Taylor is the flashiest player coming off the bench right now. Markieff Morris and Tyrel Reed have their moments, but Taylor draws attention. Sometimes, the attention is good when he stole a pass against Colorado and went coast-to-coast for a layup. He only had one turnover in that game, but only had six points and one assist in 25 minutes.

Corey Thibodeaux
Lance Jeter, guard
Jeter's a good ball distributor, which is essential in an offense like Nebraska's where there is no lethal scorer. Even though he only scored two points in the last meeting between Nebraska and Kansas, he played a major role, dishing out a career-high eight assists. He also takes care of the ball well, boasting a 2.35-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Jeter doesn't take a lot of threes, but he can knock them down if he decides to. He's shooting 42.4 percent from distance.

PETER WESTON
Henry
Henry doesn't do anything particularly brilliantly, but there's not a whole lot of flaws in his game either. He's shown flashes of being an excellent distributor, with an 11-assist performance against TCU earlier this season and seven assists in the Cornhuskers' last game against Kansas State. He's too inconsistent with that, though, with six games with just one or zero assists.

ALEXANDER HAYES
Ryan Anderson, guard
Anderson is probably the best player on the Nebraska roster. He's the only Cornhusker that averages at least 10 points per game. He didn't come through in Nebraska's last game against Kansas, scoring just eight, but he did dish out a season-high five assists. Last year, after a zero-point effort in a 68-62 loss to Kansas in Lincoln, Anderson scored 10 at Allen Fieldhouse.

Ubel's the only real question mark in the Nebraska lineup, despite growing up in nearby Overland Park.

NEBRASKA TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
The Cornhuskers are, on paper, no match for the Jayhawks and their embarrassment of riches. Don't tell that to Nebraska, though. They came out swinging in the first matchup of the season, taking a 12-1 lead out of the gate and hanging on for a one-point lead at halftime before the Jayhawks collected themselves and dominated after the break. Brandon Richardson exploded for 18 points when the teams first met in January, but he won't sneak up on Kansas this time around.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Eshaunte Jones
Jones played a career-high 32 minutes against Kansas the last time these two teams matched
up. He went 4-for-11 from long range and scored 12 points as the Cornhuskers tried to knock off the then third-ranked Jawhaws. Since
QUESTION MARK
Jones
then, he has somehow planted himself in coach Doc Sadler's doghouse, though. He didn't play in their following game, and has played single-digit minutes in three of the four games since then.
Can Nebraska get the jump on Kansas again?
The Connhuskers already caught Kansas with its eyes closed once this year and they've got a perfect opportunity to do it again Saturday. The Jayhawks are in the midst of an emotional stretch, starting with a home win over Missouri January 25 and followed by two overtime battles on the road at north division foes. Then their next game is Monday at No. 10 Texas. If Nebraska can get off to another big lead, there's no telling whether or not they'll be able to hang on to it.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"You can't get into a scoring match with Kansas. If they're going to score in the 80s, you're not going to win many games. That's ultimately what happened. I can talk about how good we played, but the bottom line is that we didn't get it done."

Cole Aldrich and Marcus Morris combine for less then 25 points. Remember, in their last meeting, Nebraska had the Jayhawks down by double digits right from the get-go. Aldrich only had six points but Morris carried the load off the bench with 19. Husker center Brain Diaz had 15 points on 7-10 shooting. That kind of efficiency is what the Jayhawks need to produce without allowing the Huskers to do to the same.
This game follows the script. The Jayhawks are the better team and they proved it last time coming back from a double-digit deficit. Now they are at home and the crowd has seen their No.1 team endure two consecutive overtime games. They proved they can win the close ones, now let's see if they can get back to dominating the Huskers and put them away early.

Parents and children shout, "Save our schools" as they march down Massachusetts Street Saturday to protest budget cuts that could force some elementary schools to close. More than 1,200 people attended the event Saturday.
Sparing local schools
Budget deficits threaten to close area elementary schools
BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com
About 1,200 Lawrence residents marched through downtown Saturday afternoon as part of the Save Our Neighborhood Schools movement. Participants marched from Liberty Hall to South Park in an effort to urge the Lawrence school board not to close local Lawrence elementary schools.
Because of low state revenues, the school board is looking to make cuts for a $4 million budget deficit. According to the Save Our Neighborhood Schools organization, the board
is considering closing neighborhood elementary schools, including Hillcrest, Cordley and New York Elementary Schools.
Megan Greene, director of the Center for East Asian Studies, worried that potential school closings would deter students, faculty and staff with children from coming to the University.
Greene, said one of the University's biggest recruitment tools for faculty and staff is the community and downtown, both unique to Lawrence.
"That's what draws people here," she said.
"If the schools disappear, it will be a much less appealing place."
If the schools are closed, Greene said.

families will be forced to move to different neighborhoods or areas of town, changing the dynamic of the community and its appeal to potential residents.

Waves of changes for navigation of Facebook
BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com
More than 55 million Facebook statuses change every day, and late many students are using them to vent frustrations about new changes to the familiar site.
"I haven't seen a single status praising it," said Amir Jhuremalani, a sophomore on Roslyn, N.Y. "I hate it based on the fact that I'm happy with the way it is. But as always, we'll get use to it, and then they'll change it again."
Facebook started rolling out its new navigation bar starting Thursday, but the changes haven't reached all 400 million users.

Rumor has it:
According to a blog Friday on www.techcrunch.com, Facebook will be changing its messaging to a webmail service, a change referred to as Project Titan. It would allow users to have an account through Facebook and would be linked to other e-mail providers.
Old version:
Home, profile, friends, and inbox are on the left side of the bar
New Version:
- Drop-down menus for friends, messages and notifications appear on the bar.
- The search box moves to the center
- A news counter helps users keep tabs on their interactive applications
- Users won't miss their turn in games

Student response:
"The way most of my friends get a hold of me anyway is through Facebook, so if it adds modifications that make e-mail communication easier, that would be great," Cortney Graham, a sophomore from McPherson said.

New rules proposed for Oread housing
BY ALEESE KOPF akopf@kansan.com
Potential regulations range from parking spaces and the number of residents allowed in these types of houses to tenant behavior and building expansion.
Students living in large multiperson houses in the Oread Neighborhood might be facing stricter regulations in the near future.
Currently, boarding houses, which the city officially calls congregated living spaces, are permitted for dwellings with up to 12 sleeping rooms and 24 occupants if parking and other standards are upheld. Current parking regulations call for 1.5 spaces per two lawful occupants. This means eight occupants would require six parking spaces.
The plan proposed at Tuesday's City Commission meeting was to have no limit to the number of bedrooms or occupants and a requirement of one parking space per resident for new boarding houses. For existing boarding houses, the plan would require four parking spaces for six bedrooms and an additional half a space for houses with more than six bedrooms. There were also recommendations on limiting the

The Board of Regents discussed the possibility of banning tobacco sales at all six Regents schools in January, but the issue was tabled and referred to the Council of Presidents for discussion this month. Chancellor Gray-Little, who has final say in KU policy, decided to implement the ban before the meeting.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little announced Friday that the University would stop selling cigarettes and other tobacco products on all KU campuses starting July 1.
Tobacco sales to end on campus July 1
Lynn Bretz, director of university communications, said the chancellor wanted to support the University's initiatives of health research and the sale of tobacco products didn't support that mission.
"While some will point out that students and employees can buy these products elsewhere, I think it is important to make it clear that the University does not encourage the use of tobacco and will not sell it on campus." Gray-Little said in a prepared statement.
Bretz said cigarette and tobacco product sales had already ended at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

The Ecumenical Christian Ministries building will receive a place on the Lawrence Register of Historical Places. Known for its open-door policy, the ECM has been a place of acceptance in the Lawrence community.

BY ALEESE KOPF

For more than 100 years, the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, often referred to by insiders as the "front porch of KU," has offered an open-door policy for the marginalized and socially unaccepted. And now the building is being recognized for its role within the Lawrence community with a placement on the Lawrence Register of Historical Places.
The ECM building, already on the state and national registers, gained this particular distinction primarily for its acceptance of social and political groups during the 60s and 70s, an era marked by violence and a period of dramatic social change throughout the nation.
In the 1960s ECM building, then known as the United Campus Christian Fellowship building, became a place where people could openly experiment with new lifestyles and beliefs surrounding race, religion and gender.
Richard Crank, a 1989 graduate, described himself as a gay kid from a military family, never able to openly be himself. He first discovered the ECM after attending a meeting for the Gay Liberation Front as a freshman in 1971 and remembers instantly feeling accepted and comfortable.
"It felt like being in a home away from home for a gay guy," Crank said. "I felt like I could be in this room and be gay. You can be who you are here. It has always told me that."
Other marginalized groups of the time, such as the American Indian Movement and the February Sisters, also played an important role in ECM history. The February Sisters used the ECM building as a safe place to meet and discuss women's rights issues such as birth control, equal pay and childcare on campus.
When The Oread offered to buy the ECM building in late 2007, Tom Harper, a '92 KU graduate, was spurred into action to preserve the ECM's legacy and its contemporary resources. After receiving approval from Thad Holcombe,
the current ECM campus minister, Harper began the lengthy process of nominating the building for the Lawrence Register of Historical Places.
"First I wanted to demonstrate its significance and importance to the community," said Harper. "Second, I wanted to help preserve the ECM building by making it eligible for tax credits that can go towards portions of renovations."
Harper said the "part of KU but not of KU" attitude of the ECM made it a neutral place for dialogue surrounding issues such as race, civil rights, the anti-war movement, women's movement and gay and lesbian issues.
"I knew that KU was a turbulent area in Kansas in the 60s, but I didn't realize the extent of how much this center was involved with what was going on." Holcombe said. "It played a pivotal role in some ways in terms of what came out of the 60s."
dents gather every month for a variety of educational, spiritual and social gatherings at ECM, Holcombe said.
Decades later, the same open door hospitality is still available to students. About 1,100 students, faculty, staff and community resi-
Members of ECM have initiated their first capital campaign to raise $832,000 for restoration, renovation and repair. The campaign booklet states that the 105-year-old building is one of the oldest campus ministries in the United States.
Jason Hering, a senior from Hutchinson, is a member of the ECM administrative board, the Student Leadership Team and is President of Eco Justice, a group that seeks to improve environmental injustices nationally and globally. Hering described the ECM as a community hub that helped him get involved and stay active on campus.

Lawmakers could ban death penalty
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Sixteen years ago, Gov. Joan Finney allowed a death penalty bill to become law without her signature. The feisty Democrat said she was doing so because it was the will of Kansas' people.
Senators are prepared to give that law its first significant review when they debate a bill in the coming days to ban capital punishment and replace it with life in prison without parole. Supporters of the bill say the impetus lies again in the will of the people.
"I don't think it's a bad idea to review a significant public policy on a regular basis," said Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat. "We wouldn't be having this debate if the people of Kansas hadn't
brought it before us. We didn't gin this up"
The bill is a revision of a measure that emerged last year in the Senate and would end the state's practice of sentencing defendants to die for committing the most heinous crimes. It would be replaced with a sentence of life without parole, and the 10 men now under death sentences would still be executed.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Tim Owens said the original bill was flawed and needed more work. He held three days of hearings on the bill, listening to victims' families who support the law and want justice, as well as advocates including the Catholic church, which says there are alternatives.

Drunken thief hides in a police station
RIVERTON, Wyo. — Police say a man suspected of stealing a bottle of Schnapps from a Wyoming grocery store didn't have the best escape route planned.
Riverton police say the 26-year-old ran out of the store after grabbing the bottle of booze and a package of cough drops Wednesday and hid in a nearby building, which happened to be the police station.
Police say the man then ran out of the police station, but not before a dispatcher had spied him on the station's surveillance camera and alerted officers.
The man, who police say was drunk, was caught soon after. He was taken into custody on preliminary charges of resisting arrest and shoplifting.
Bald eagle receives makeshift beak
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An Alaska dentist has given a bald eagle a unique beak — using a temporary crown, sticky poster putty and yellow highlighter.
The bird was found in December with severe damage to its beak, apparently from fishing line that wrapped around it and started cutting into it.
Cindy Palmatier at the Bird Treatment and Learning Center says staff there decided to turn to dentist Kirk Johnson, who thought of patching up the beak with the same material used to make temporary crowns for people.
The "crown" is being held on with poster putty, and Johnson colored it in using highlighter to give it a yellow tint.
The bird center says the eagle is doing just fine but won't be able to return to the wild.

Colleges offering Spanish materials
EDUCATION
PHILADELPHIA — For some Hispanic students, navigating the college application process can be a double-whammy: Balancing high school coursework with essays and interviews, and then translating the whole system for their parents, who don't speak English.
Some venerable East Coast universities are trying to ease that burden — and tap the booming pool of Hispanic students — by offering Spanish translations of their admissions and financial aid material.
Bryn Mawr College, an elite women's liberal arts school near Philadelphia, recently launched a Spanish version of its Web site. And the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania has begun conducting some college admissions sessions in Spanish.
"These initiatives are really geared toward the families ... to take some of the pressure off the students," said Jennifer Rickard, Bryn Mawr's chief enrollment officer.
Family comfort level is extremely important in the Hispanic community, where parental ties are strong and many are wary of sending their children away to school, said Deborah Santiago, vice president for policy and research at Washington-based Excelencia in Education.
"The parents do play a critical role in at least the aspiration of college," Santiago said. "My parents hadn't gone to college but they told me I was going."
Nationwide, only 25 percent of Hispanics ages 18 to 24 were in college in 2006. That compares with 32 percent of blacks, 44 percent of whites and 61 percent of Asian-Americans, according to a report by the American Council on Education. But the same report found that Hispanic college enrollment increased 66 percent between 1995 and 2005.
The U.S. Latino population overall is expected to grow from 15 percent to 28 percent by 2050, according to Census Bureau figures released in December.

language programs for non-native speakers. Many Hillcrest students are children of KU students living in Stauffer Place Apartments or nearby neighborhoods.
Marike Janzen, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said she participated in the march because she was concerned about the effect closing schools would have on neighborhoods.
"Schools are the cornerstone of strong neighborhoods," Janzen said. "Hillcrest has so many unique qualities I think are important."
Janzen has two sons, one who is a third grader at Hillcrest, and one who will be starting kindergarten at Hillcrest in the fall. She said that the unique international student population at Hillcrest had played a large role in her son's education and is very important to her.
All three of Patterson's children attended Hillcrest. Patterson said she marched in support of the Hillcrest community, which played a large role in her children's lives.
"The people that usually watch and attend the parades downtown are the people marching." Patterson said. "These people make the town. We have to support these people." Shona Clarkson, a junior from St.
Associated Press
Among the members of the Lawrence community who marched on Saturday, Anne Patterson, lecturer in Architecture and Urban Planning, demonstrated dressed as a Viking.
Clarkson, who lives in East Lawrence, said she hoped the march would make a difference in the way the school board makes its decision. "If it doesn't, it shows that people aren't listening." Clarkson said.
"It seems like Vikings have a little fight," Patterson said. "That's what we need."
The next school board meeting is at 7 p.m. tonight at the Educational Support & Distribution Center, 110 McDonald Drive.

Members of the Oread Neighborhood Association and a few property owners that live in the predominately student-populated area expressed their concerns with parking, excessive partying and other behavioral issues associated with the growing number of boarding houses at last Tuesday's meeting.
While the discussion around the future of boarding houses affects students just as much as neighbors, only one student was present at the meeting.

Although the commissioners discussed the plan, they voted to return the proposal to the planning committee. Part of the city's decision to return the proposal to the planning commission was to give students the opportunity to voice their opinions. The commissioners recognized that boarding houses, especially in the Oread Neighborhood, are more practical for students because they are close to campus and allow students to share rent and other expenses with multiple roommates. The area known as the Oread Neighborhood, primarily located on Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky streets between 11th and 17th streets, is the main focus of the discussion around boarding houses.
VACCINE PATCH STUDY
OREAD (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Johnson County Clin-Trials is currently looking for healthy volunteers ages 18-64 to participate in a clinical research study involving an outpatient Travelers' Diarrhea Investigational Vaccine Patch Study.
But the planning commission is having difficulty proposing a plan that would be acceptable to neighbors, students, landlords and the community as a whole. The proposed plan was more beneficial for students, but some Oread neighbors felt their interests were not protected. Because of this difficulty the plan will likely be reworked to include regulations that are harasser for students. The committee originally initiated a text amendment that would change the regulations of boarding houses in May 2009 and have had subsequent meetings in August, October and December with little success in finding a proposal that accommodates all.

Palin attacks Obama, Dems
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE. Tenn. — Sarah Palin took aim at President Barack Obama and the Democrats in a speech, telling a gathering of "tea party" activists that America is ripe for another revolution.
Noting his party's dismal showing in elections since Obama moved into the White House a year ago with talk of hope and promises of change, Palin asked the gathering: "How's that hope-y, change-y stuff workin' out for you?"
Her audience waved flags and erupted in cheers during multiple standing ovations as the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee gave the keynote address Saturday at the first national convention of the "tea party" coalition. It's an anti-establishment, grass-roots network motivated by anger over the growth of government, budget-busting spending and Obama's policies.
Palin's 45-minute talk was filled with her trademark folksy jokes and amounted to a pep talk for the coalition and promotion of its principles.
The speech also was rife with criticism for Obama and the Democrats who control Congress,
but delivered with a light touch. Aside from broad conservative principles like lower taxes and a strong national defense, the speech was short on Palin's own policy ideas that typically indicate someone is seriously laying the groundwork to run for the White House.
Indeed, Republican observers say she's seemingly done more lately to establish herself as a
political celebrity focused on publicity rather than a political candidate focused on policy.
Catering to her crowd, Palin talked of limited government
strict adherence to the Constitution, and the "God-given right" of freedom. She said the "fresh, young and fragile" movement is the future of American politics because it's "a ground-up call to action" to both major political parties to change how they do business.
"America is ready for another revolution!" she told the gathering.
Palin suggested the movement should remain leaderless and cautioned against allowing it to be
"Let us not get bogged down in the small squabbles. Let us get caught up in the big ideas," she said, though she offered few of her own.

But, given the plethora of attacks that Palm leveled at Obama, she seemed like she was already running against him. And, perhaps, as an independent.
All she offered was a smile when a moderator asking her questions used
the phrase "President Palin." That prompted most in the audience to stand up and chant "Run, Sarah, Run!"
She talked little about the Republican Party and encouraged "tea party" aligned candidates to compete in GOP primaries.

Event studies oppression
BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com
The Office of Multicultural Affairs is encouraging students to think about the effects of peer oppression. The office established Hate Out Week in 2001, a program designed to promote on-campus unity and positive attitudes among peers. The theme for this year's event, "No One Should Be Labeled," focuses on the different labels students give their peers and the oppression that comes with those labels.
Matt Reed, a complex director for student housing, said this event is important to bring to light oppression that still exists.

7:30 p.m., Alderson Auditorium Eva Vega: Diversity & Leadershp — Helping Good People Do Great Things
"These kind of events are crucial to our campus community," Reed said. "They help bring awareness to our peers, what happens to them and what we can do to help."
Scheduled events include a presentation by Eva Vega, a speaker who uses humor to bring important diversity issues to light, and an exhibit called the Tunnel of Oppression, which allows students to experience different forms of
oppression, or to be placed in unfamiliar environments. Reed said the events would help students focus on ways that they can work to eliminate discrimination and hatred.
"I feel like a lot of students come to KU not really understanding what oppression is out there." Reed said. "Through this, they can gain knowledge of what's going on. The more they know, the more they can do to play a role in order to eliminate hate."

The unknown long-term effects of K2 certainly raise major concerns and deserve
Regrettably, the Senate and the House of Representatives passed two separate bills that would do exactly that. If Gov. Mark Parkinson signs an agreed-upon version of the bill, Kansas will become the first state to establish a ban on a substance few—if any—scientific or medical experts know anything about.
According to the Drug Enforcement Agency,neither JWH-018 nor JWH-073,the psychoactive ingredients in K2,are currently monitored by any drug abuse surveys.
What's more, no studies have been published concerning the effects of either substance on humans.
Yet, despite the glaring lack of scientific research available on K2, lawmakers and law enforcement agents were quick to declare the substance a major health concern
when it started to gain attention last fall.
Douglas County Sheriff Ken McGovern has been quoted as saying that K2 was the next epidemic coming to our community. McGovern's exaggerated and unfounded rhetoric is a remnant of the failed "War on Drugs" that many Kansas lawmakers and law enforcement officials stubbornly keep fighting.
Even the federal government has taken significant steps in recalibrating its approach to America's drug problem. The Obama administration refuses to call it a "war" and has taken an increasingly progressive stance.
While lawmakers in other states are decriminalizing marijuana—for both medicinal and recreational use—conservative Kansas lawmakers insist the 21st century "War on Drugs" can still be won using 20th century tactics.
Simply criminalizing drugs such as the synthetic chemicals found in K2 is an outdated and disproved solution. Kansas should shift its policies to be more in line with the national trend, which focuses on public health over criminal justice and treatment over incarceration.
If nothing else, K2 deserves more research before lawmakers make rushed judgments. The drug's effects may actually have medical benefits, as several opponents of the ban have argued.
Given the uncertainties surrounding its chemical components, K2 should not be ignored, but a premature quick fix supported by biased testimonials rather than objective facts was not the solution. Lawmakers need to consider a more proactive—and less reactive—approach.

The overwhelming support of both bills—36-1 in the Senate and 110-11 in the House—is disappointing, but not surprising, 2010 is an election year, and opponents of bills become easy targets for their political rivals. Few politicians can win re-election with the "soft on drugs" label painted on them, no matter how misleading it is.
Though the Senate and the House passed separate versions of the bill, Parkinson must sign it before it goes into effect. Students should contact their representatives and the governor's office and encourage them to reconsider.
Even if the bill passes, Kansas lawmakers need to acknowledge that the "War on Drugs" is more than an outdated term—it's an outdated policy.

The fundamentals of tipping
True, the economy is bad and we're poor college students. But, these are not excuses to scrimp on tipping when out at a bar or restaurant.
This past summer, Oprah reportedly—any official comments on her Web site have been removed—told viewers that tipping 10 percent was acceptable because of the struggling economy. Money is tight, but it is ridiculous for Oprah, one of the wealthiest people in America, to suggest stiffing servers. It is also unfair for us to follow suit.
Waiters, waitresses and bartenders are paid an hourly wage. But, unlike other jobs, servers earn significantly less than minimum wage They rely on tips from customers to make up the difference. If tips aren't coming in, a server could end his shift with barely anything to show for it.
Different services permit different amounts of tipping. Calculating various percentages can become a little complicated. However, thanks to technology, cell phones now often come equipped with specific "tip calculators."
All the details of tipping can get confusing, but it doesn't have to be.
Occupations where workers are reliant on tips extend far beyond just restaurants or bars. There are multiple jobs where employees should be tipped.
Manners Made Easy
If someone has gone above and beyond for exceptional service, reward him or her for it. Did the pizza deliverer drive through a foot of snow to deliver in 30 minutes?
Tip hair-stylists, Jimmy John's drivers, babysitters and, if feeling kind, toss a few dollars in a favorite barista's tip jar.
Simply ask, "Is this person providing a service?"
BY RICHELLE BUSER
rbuser@kysae.com
Is it ever OK to stiff a server?
In my opinion, the answer is no.
Regardless of the terrible service,
it's impolite to not leave a tip.
Leaving a bad tip makes the tipper no better than the bad waiter.
Consider it an act of maturity.
Maybe the server is just having an awful day.
Did a hair-stylist squeeze in an emergency visit? Show appreciation with a slightly larger tip.
If there really isn't enough cash to afford a tip on top of dinner out, then head to McDonald's instead of stiffing a server.
Insufficient tipping can be easily avoided with a little effort.
TIPPING RECOMMENDATIONS:
Buser is a senior from Columbia, Ill., in journalism.
- Skycap at the airport: $2 for the first bag and a dollar for each additional bag
- Taxi driver: 15 percent
- Housekeeper: $2-5 a day
- Bartenders: $1 per drink
If you're out and about and totally confused about what to leave, 15 to 20 percent is always safe.

CULTURE
Uniforms serve to keep memories alive
I spend at least five minutes every morning choosing what to wear to class. Picky?
Yes
On days when I get stuck starring into my closet for 15 minutes, unable to find the perfect ensemble, I miss my uniformed student life from back in Macau.
Life in a Kaleidoscope
In Macau, as throughout much of China, students are required to dress in neat and clean uniforms.
In Chinese culture, unlike the preferred individualism in the western world, collectivism is embraced. Uniforms are thought to engage students and construct positive school images.
The Chinese uniform is pretty simple. Girls dress in white with a belt and dark blue ribbon tied below a round collar. Boys wear white T-shirts with ties in winter months and dark gray long suit pants. White socks with black shoes are standard footwear for both boys and girls.
Girls basically look like angels and guys look like gentlemen.
I didn't used to think so.
When I had to dress in a specific way every day, my uniform represented a boring, old-fashioned image. I felt constrained and too recognizable by others.
My friends and I couldn't wait until after school when we could strip our uniforms and hang out in cozy, casual wear.
Naturally, most parents are in favor of uniforms. The uniform essentially plays the role of a chaperone. With uniforms on, students are constantly reminded to behave themselves. A sense of responsibility is attached to the image of the uniform. Sounds great, right?
Now, I am able to wear
Pengxin Zhuang
BY JOSIE HO
whatever please me. However, I quickly discovered the good sides of wearing a uniform.
However, this can never be. Life must go on.
Now, though, I find myself wishing it were possible to rewind back to more innocent days. I realize that my uniform-adorned school days weren't so bad. I had pure but solid friendship, naive but memorable puppy-love and a busy, but joyful, life.
Not only do uniforms relieve the stress of picking out an outfit, they also remind me of unique memories.
It's ironic that when I finally received the freedom I once so desperately craved, I now yearn for a little more naiveté and restriction.
When I was little, I dreamed to have more freedom to behave as a "little adult." I rebelled. I always wanted more and I wished to break away from the cage and leave the childhood playground.
My uniform, as well as those memories, have to be placed back in my closet. I can't hold every single treasure in my hands, but I know I can place them in my heart forever.

Religion as an excuse for injustice
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Which side is right? It may well be impossible to know. However, we should be mindful that when it comes to the latter we have heard this all before.
I have watched the Perry v. Schwarzenegger trial about same-sex marriage in San Francisco with great interest. There are, as is usual with such debates, two sides to this coin. On one, individuals claim that the secular government is a guarantor of civil rights. On the other, individuals claim that the government has a responsibility to codify religious doctrines of the majority.
In the debate over slavery, personas like Reverend R. Furman and Jefferson Davis claimed that the right to own slaves was ordained by the Bible.
In the debate over suffrage for women, individuals claimed that Eve's creation subsequent to Adam indicated that God intended for only men to have a
say in governance.
Whether this case comes down to the right to see religious intolerance enshrined in law, or the right to be safeguarded from oppression by government, we would do well to ask: In 20, 30 or 40 years, will our children see in us the same face of hatred that we have seen in previous generations?
In the debate over segregation, laws including those that banned interracial marriage were based, and defended, upon the notion that God created the white race superior to (so-called) mongrel races and that He abhorred mutts and co-mingling.
Indeed, we've heard this all before. We've seen the face of the legal institution of religious discrimination; it was not right then, and it is not right now.
And, perhaps more importantly, will that face be any less insidious because it is hidden behind a mask of religion?

Federal government will be workin' on the railroad
BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com
Kayleigh Peterson knows her trains. During winter break she and her boyfriend, Chris, took the passenger rail line. Amtrak, from Kansas City, Mo. to Chicago to see Lady Gaga perform.
As a kid, Peterson, a junior from Overland Park, said she also rode various trains on the west coast and has spent time in Europe where her main mode of transportation was the local railway.
"It's so much more convenient and a much more comfortable way to travel," Peterson said. "In the winter, especially, it's a lot more reliable than driving or flying."
But because there aren't many local options to passenger rail, she said she doesn't use it often.
NATIONAL PROPORTIONS
Kansas rail systems, however may soon improve on a local and national scale.
On Jan. 31, President Barack Obama proposed an $8 billion plan through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for an expanded high-speed and inter-city passenger rail in an effort to reduce congestion on highways between larger cities, reduce transportation emissions and create job opportunities.
"That investment is how we can

break ground across the country, putting people to work building high-speed rail lines," Obama said in a Jan. 28 press release. "Because there's no reason why Europe or China should have the fastest trains when we can build them right here in America."
In total, 31 states including Kansas, and the District of Columbia will receive money.
Not only will there be 13 new train corridors, but the U.S. Department of Transportation will also award several grants for improvement and planning projects. Kansas, along with many other states in the Midwest, will be receiving one of these grants.
The Midwest is receiving $2.61 billion to fund projects, such as a high-speed line from Kansas City, Mo. to St. Louis and additions to the line from Oklahoma City through Newton to Kansas City, Mo.
"Expanded rail service throughout the U.S. is unquestionably a good thing from an environmental perspective," said Robert Hagen, lecturer in the Environment Studies Program. "The problem is how to overcome the political and economic barriers that block the transition from our current systems."
STATE-WIDE
Tom Hein, public affairs manager for the Kansas Department of Transportation, said the state doesn't know when it will be able to fund additions to the passenger rail line in Kansas.
The timetable is really hard to pin down on this," Hein said.
However, KDOT commissioned Amtrak to do a study to find the best place to lay tracks. The department expects results from the study this month.
"It's not a service that's really inductive for Kansans to use really at all." Hein said of the passenger rail services currently available in Kansas. "The proposal is to somehow tie into Newton with this train. Or maybe it will be a stand-alone."
Dick Kelsay, a Kansas senator, has also said he thought expanding rail service would be a positive
thing for Kansas.
The current plan is to expand the existing line that runs from Ft. Worth, Tex., to Oklahoma City and continue it up to Newton. There are currently six rail stations in Kansas, including the one located in Lawrence.
KDOT also received a $250,000 grant Sunday, which is included in the ARRA funds. The state will have to match this amount in order to put together a service development plan for potential expanded passenger rail service in Kansas.
"After the Amtrak study and the service development plan are completed, we will provide the reports to the Legislature, who ultimately will determine whether the proposed expansion of rail service can be funded," said Transportation Secretary Deb Miller in a press release.
Hein said the possibility of expansion and funding will rely heavily on the results of the Amtrak study.
In addition, Senate Bill 409,
before the Senate Transportation
Committee, would develop a state passenger rail program. The bill would provide a way for KDOT to attain additional federal grants and it would require the Legislature to approve any state funding for the program.
Lawrence is currently one of 55 cities in Kansas that has signed on to support the bill.
CITY-CENTERED
A separate study of Wichita conducted by Jayhawk Consulting, a group of MBA students at the University, indicates a local economic incentive for additional passenger rail in Kansas.
The study said the proposed Amtrak train line that would run through Wichita could possibly generate $3.20 in regional economic impact for every dollar invested.
The study estimated the line would rake in 7,295 new riders for the Lawrence Amtrak station, 413 East Seventh St., and that each rider stopping in Lawrence would spend around $25, garnering approximately $251,830 for the
local economy.
"Overall economic impact shows a break-even return after the first year with a continuing $43 million annual impact," concluded a summary of the study.
Hein said the passenger rail services in Lawrence are currently only available in the middle of the night, which poses some inconveniences.
"There are people who do it," he said. "But it's three oclock in the morning for God's sake."
While it will take time to see what the long term effects and benefits of additional passenger rail throughout Kansas and the Midwest will be, Peterson said she is looking forward to seeing the results.
She said she would "definitely use it" as it was a more cost efficient way to travel.
"$100 for a round trip is a lot cheaper," Peterson said. "$50 just to Chicago is like a tank and a half of gas."

Livening up for Longhorns
Kansas needs to recharge before Texas match-up
ctibodeaux@kansan.com

BY COREY THIBODEAUX
Kansas Coach Bill Self preaches to his team about not overlooking weaker opponents.
So after the Jaybawks' 75-64 victory against Nebraska, it was
surprising to hear what he had to say about looking forward to Monday's match-up against Texas.
"I don't want to take anything away from Nebraska, but it was one of those games, 'Let's get through this game so we can get to that game,' he said.
The No. 1 Jayhawks visit the once top-ranked Longhorns, who have lost four of their last six games. They fell to fourth place in the Big 12, three games behind the Jayhawks. Despite Texas' recent decline, the game still means a lot to Kansas.
"Even though they lost, they're
still a top-10 team to me," sophomore forward Marcus Morris said. "They're still a top-10 team to all of us."
The Jayhawks had a rough outing against the Cornhuskers, getting by thanks to a 28-5 run in the second half. The Jayhawks only mustered one more rebound than their physically smaller opponent.
Against Texas, Morris said, that effort isn't going to fly.
"There's no way we can let Texas get so many offensive rebounds or we won't come out with a victory," he said. "It's going to be a dog fight so everyone has to go to the glass."
Self said playing an abundance of games for the past couple weeks in hostile environments may have caused the lack of energy against Nebraska.
But with only a 40-minute practice on Sunday, Self said he hopes to have his team recharged for Monday.
"We'll try to have fresh minds and fresh legs going to Austin," he said.
Looking at what the Jayhawks have been through in the past couple weeks, senior guard Sherron

It took the Jayhawks a while to figure it out, but the Cornhuskers came to play.
After letting Nebraska hang around for most of the game, Kansas finally pulled away in the second half in Saturday's 75-64 victory.
Leading most of the first half, the layhawks found themselves trailing 43-39 when the Cornhuskers came out of halftime with an 8-2 run.
Weston White/KANSAN
"I felt like they came out with a vengeance and they wanted to win," sophomore forward Marcus Morris said. "We kind of came out on our heels."
"We finally realized they came to fight," he said. "This wasn't going to be one of those games where we go up 20 and they just give up."
Coach Bill Self called a timeout. Not by coincidence, Collins came right out with a 3-pointer that sparked a 28-5 run the Jayhawks rode to victory. Collins said Self had great words of motivation in that huddle.
From that point forward, senior guard Sherron Collins knew it was going to be a battle.
"Us getting down was something that we needed," he said. "Him jumping on us was something we needed too."
Self was not happy with the first half. But the defensive intensity in the second half was some of the best basketball he's seen all year from his team.
"We turned it up, they didn't
get comfortable," he said. "We played for 10 minutes or eight

Tough schedule ahead for Jayhawks

With a healthy Angel Goodrich and Danielle McCray, Kansas' best playmakers, the Jayhawks went to Manhattan in January, scored an embarrassing 35 points and lost by 24.
With Goodrich and McCray unable to play Sunday as they rehab ACL tears, Kansas beat Kansas State 70-60.
The 34-point swing shows both the advantage of playing at home and the emotional wave caused by the devastating injury to Danielle McCray. The senior leader tore her ACL in practice Thursday and could only fill assistant coaching duties Sunday.
Her playing career at Kansas is over.
For the rest of the team, a ton of important games remain in the Big 12 gauntlet. The remaining eight games in conference play all present greater challenges than the Wildcats
Those challenges start with a visit from Kelsey Griffin and undefeated Nebraska Wednesday. It will be hard to maintain Sunday's energy for the rest of the season as the scarring memory of McCray screaming in pain slowly fades.
She looked fluid in the role Sunday, scoring 16 points on 6 for 9 shooting from the field. Hearing her name announced as starter for the first time didn't rattle her much; she hit her first three shots from the field, including two swishes from 3-point land.
At some point, Kansas will simply have to play better than its opponents and not rely on pure energy.
It will be up to Monica Engelman a soft-spoken scorer from San Antonio, Texas, to provide offensive production and quality minutes in McCray's absence.
After the game, Engelman said she didn't even notice a difference with McCray out of the lineup.
Engelman did notice McCray's role as a coach. McCray wedged herself between Kansas' assistant coaches and jotted down observations she would tell the players during timeouts. Engelman and McCray were usually next to each other in the huddle.
McCray pointed to Engelman's refusal of a screen to get an open jumpshot as an example of a play that McCray can help refine.
"It's so exciting just to see some-one grow," McCray said. "It just makes you feel really good."
Engelman will become an offensive focal point, but the rest of the teams will boost to boost their scoring numbers to make up for McCray.
The schedule toughens considerably and losing McCray will hurt. Senior Sade Morris said she recognized how the team will need to play without McCray.
"I don't think we have a choice but to come out with full energy because that's what helps us," Morris said. "We have to build off of that. We came out with all that energy and look at what it did for us."
Considering the tough upcoming schedule and lack of quality victories, Kansas is on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Playing in the Big Dance, and not the NIT like last year, will provide all the energy the jayhawks need.

resenting past glory hanging from the ceiling: All three of these factors resonate in arenas around the country, from College Park, Md. to Tucson, Ariz.
In recent discussions with friends, a topic that almost always came up was the black cauldron known as the "Octagon of Doom" at Kansas State. I laughed at those college basketball experts who called a place where the then-No. 1 team Texas lost one night but Oklahoma State won a few days later "intimidating." This shows that we need a list of things that make a place worthy of fear. Here are my five ingredients for a home court that's a hell hole for opposing teams.
PETER M. CHEUNG
1.BUILD A REPUTATION FOR UPSETS
No arena had a greater ability to manufacture upsets than Notre Dame's Joyce Center back in the 1970's and 80's. During that span, the Fighting Irish defeated four No. 1 teams, six top-10 teams and ended UCLA's 88-game winning streak.
2. COURT HISTORY
The Kansas State faithful have no idea what court history is. Especially, when compared with Maryland and their fabled Cole Fieldhouse. Maryland's former home saw the first all-black starting lineup in a championship game. The players were members of the Texas Western team that played for the 1966 NCAA title. Cole was also home to the first "Midnight Madness", a brainchild of former Maryland

coach Lefty Driesell that is similar to Late Night at the Phog. Allen Fieldhouse is one of the other places in college basketball that smells like history as today's players walk in the same space as JoJo White, Wilt Chamberlain and Paul Pierce.
3.BANNER ENVY
When you walk into arenas across the country, the first place you normally look is at the banners hanging from the ceiling. Some arenas (Missouri) don't have many while others are practically covered (North Carolina and Kentucky). To have your banner raised at North Carolina you have to either be named An All American, ACC player of the year or National player of the year. North Carolina currently has 58 such players. That alone should scare a freshman playing there for the first time.
4.WACKINESS = SEXINESS
When you see arenas on TV, many of them show a certain quirk or feature that makes that arena stand out. At Minnesota, the floor is raised and players have to stand at times if they want a good look at the action. At Vanderbilt, the benches are at the
THE MORNING BREW
end of the floor so if a coach wanis to yell at one if his players,he'll have to do a lot of screaming.
5.STUDENT MADNESS
This may be the most important ingredient in producing a tough arena. Student sections like the Cameron Crazies (Duke), Phog Phanatics (Kansas), and the Izzone (Michigan State) are what make college basketball special. Along with a crazy student section you have to come up with a unique way to playfully torture opponents, and nobody does that better than the Cameron Crazies. In one game Maryland superstar Herman Veal, who had been accused of sexual assault, had women's underwear thrown at him during introductions.
With all of that craziness in mind, here are my top five favorite arenas in college basketball.
1. Cameron Indoor Stadium (Duke)
2. Assembly Hall (Indiana)
3. Allen Fieldhouse (Kansas)
4. Williams Arena (Minnesota)
5. Cole Fieldhouse (Former home of aryland

PREVIEW (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Collins said they can win close games when things aren't going right and survive in harsh environments.
It took a visit to the first team that beat Texas to brace them for what Monday's crowd might have in store.
"I think K-State prepared us for the crowd," Collins said. "I haven't heard any louder place in my four years. I think the crowd and the way they played prepared us for the game against Texas."
The past few seasons usually have been kind to the home team except for the time Kansas beat Texas in
Austin to win the Big 12 championship. But the ability to play a No.1 team and their recent losses might have Texas hungrier than usual.
"They're going to be ready for us," Collins said. "It's going to be a man's game."
Edited by Kelly Gibson
"We never look past any opponent, but this is the one we wanted," he said.
After Saturday's game, the players had a lot to say about Texas, almost more so than the opponent they faced. Morris said he had this one circled on his calendar for a while.
BIG 12 BASKETBALL Unranked Sooners upset No. 10 Texas
NORMAN, Okla. — Tommy Mason-Griffin scored 24 points, Cade Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the second double-double of his career and Oklahoma beat 9. Texas 80-71 on Saturday in a game dedicated to the memory of late Sooners star Wayman Tisdale.
The Longhorns (19-4, 5-3 Big 12) cut a 19-point, second-half deficit to five in the final 2 minutes but were hampered the whole game by the same free-throw shooting woes that
have been an Achilles' heel all season.
Freshman Avery Bradley scored 21 points to lead the Longhorns, who have lost four of six since being ranked No.1 for the first time in school history. Damion James added 12 points and Gary Johnson had 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Texas made just 10 of its 27 foul shots and were 4 of 11 in the second half.
Oklahoma (13-9, 4-4) used a 3-point onslaught to build a 19-point lead just after halftime but had to hold on from there.

The Kansas tennis team fell to 1-1 for the spring season after a 7-0 loss to Notre Dame at the Jayhawk Tennis Facility Friday. The Fighting Irish are ranked No. 13 in the nation by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association
The doubles team of sophomore Kate Morozova and freshman Sara Lazarevic faced Notre Dame's No.12 ranked doubles team of sophomore Kristy Frilling and senior Kali Kriski.
"All the players there are really good." Morozova said. "Me and Sara, in doubles, played well. We came out with a lot of energy and were ready to fight."
that we have not faced previously, but it is something we can take to improve on"
Morozova, a Togliatte, Russia native, and Lazarevic, a Bradenton, Fla., native, went on to lose the match 8-2, however.
"They are a strong team and they played with a lot of power. They were just so consistent." Lazarevic said. "They were on top of every ball so that is something
In singles, Morozova once again faced Frilling, who is ranked No. 30 in the nation in singles.
"I started really slow so I was down 3-0, but then I found my game and I started to play much better," Morozova said.

debreaker, which went into five deuce games, but lost both sets.
Freshman Vika Khanevskaya was the only singles player to go to a second-set tiebreaker. She played against Notre Dame senior Colleen Rielley, who attended Blue Valley West in Overland Park.
"If you are a little bit down with your feelings, you are still fighting for each ball, but it is hard compared to the first set," Khanevskaya, Moscow, Russia native, said.
Sophomore Ekaterina Morozova returns a serve in the singles match. Friday, Kansas lost to No.
13 Notre Dame 7-0.
She won the first set 6-4, but lost the second 6-0 and the tiebreaker 10-6.
Lazarevic said it was a good learning experience playing a talented team and it would help later in the season.
"It gave us a look at what we need to do differently next match coming up and what we need to work on," Lazarevic said. "Being our second match of the season I think it opened a lot of doors
for us."
Kansas' next match is against the University of Missouri-Kansas City at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Jayhawk Tennis Facility.

Jayhawks win despite inconsistent showing
BY TIM DWYER

Kansas held a 9-point lead early in the first half, and it looked like the Jayhawks were well on their way to dropping the Cornhuskers in easy fashion.
Then the Cornhuskers cut the lead down to four at the half. Then the second half started and they took a 4-point lead. The Jayhawks eventually won 75-64, but it took too many minutes and too much held breath from the Kansas faithful against a team that calls the cellar of the Big 12 home.
It's become a recurring theme
with this Kansas team. As deep and as talented as the Jayhawks are, they have rarely shown the ability to jump on the opposition when the opportunity arises.
"Nobody's perfect, but we still want to play good and win big, or
"When you've got somebody down, you've got to step on their throats."

just win," senior guard Sherron Collins, who had 17 points on the night, said. "We built leads and let them get back in the game and it was an ugly game, but it was a win and we will take it. If we play like this Monday, we won't come out with one."
Cotkins was referring to the Jayhawks' Big Monday matchup against No. 10 Texas, who lost at Oklahoma early Saturday. The Longhorns are one of the few teams in the country that has the depth and talent to match Kansas, and if the Jayhawks don't take every opportunity to build a lead Monday, they likely won't have the same luck they did against the Cornhuskers.
Coach Bill Self has a plan,
though.
"We got some magic powder, some dust that we can sprinkle on everybody's heads," he said. "I don't think that'll be an issue from this point forward, I'll go out and purchase that."
Kidding aside, it's a problem that the Jayhawks need to solve, but no one seems to have an answer as to how they can do it. Collins said it isn't something the coaches have too much power over.
“It's sort of a killer instinct. When you've got somebody down, you've got to step on their throats,” Collins said. “It's us, it ain't nothing to do with coach. It's something that we've got to do as
players. Coach does a good job of coaching us and getting us prepared for the game, we've just got to go out there and play like we want it."
Sophomore forward Marcus Morris was again the best player on the floor for the Jayhawks on Saturday with 20 points and 11
rebounds for his sixth double-double. Count him among the troops that knew they needed to develop a killer instinct, but didn't offer a plan as to how.
"We've just got to keep going as hard as we did when we first came out," Morris said. "I felt like we came out really strong at first, and then we started to let up on them."
Collins said there is one thing that always keeps the team motivated.
"No, we just have to look at coach on the sidelines to wake us up. We just do not want to get chewed out," Collins said.

"I think the crowd always has something to do with it," Collins said. "I think the other 50 percent of that is we just woke up."
Junior center Cole Aldrich spent only five minutes on the court in the first half after two early fouls. Freshman center Jeff Withey filled in admirably with four points, six rebounds and two blocks.
Collins, who finished with 17 points and six assists, said the key was just the energy factor.
Turnovers and the rebound differential against a smaller team didn't sit well for any of the big men. Morris, who finished with a team-high 20 points and 11 rebounds, said they fell into Nebraska's game plan.
He hated what he saw from the bench.
"That may have been the dumbest we played in quite a while," Aldrich said.
"They sped us up and we played into their hands," he said.
The Jayhawks have a quick turnaround when they face the Texas Longhorns on Monday. If they throw out everything except the 28-5 run, Aldrich said his team should be fine.
"It's going to take an effort like the way we played in that little stretch down in Austin on Monday to come out with a victory," he said.

Game to remember
Sophomore forward Marcus Morris
Morris was again a dominant force inside. He finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds, six of which were on the offensive end, on 9-of-15 shooting. He torched Nebraska the last time out, going for 19 points and seven rebounds, and picked up right where he left off in the first half despite foul trouble for Cole Aldrich and Markieff Morris. He shot just 2-of-6 from the free throw line, though. That's certainly forgettable.

Monica Engelman
Despite an array of impressive performances from the Jayhawks last Sunday, there's really no contest here. Freshman guard Monica Engelman, making her first start of her short career, turned in three career highs against the Wildcats. She was the only Jayhawk to spend all 40 minutes on the floor, a career high. She used that time efficiently to score 16 points and earn four assists, which were also career highs.

56%
That Kansas' shooting percentage against K-State last Sunday. It serves as a season high for the team and the
most impressive part about it is that the Jayhawks did it without senior guard Danielle McCray.
Reason to hope
McCray as an assistant coach
With her career at Kansas done, McCray settled onto the bench against K-State with a note pad and pencil and took notes on what she wanted to tell her teammates during every huddle. The advice the Jayhawks received from their fallen teammate not only helped them against the Wildcats, but will likely serve a pivotal role in the rest of the season as Kansas will need McCray to lead from the sideline even more as the season progresses.

Kansas keeps composure without McCray
BY ANDREW TAYLOR
ataylor@kansan.com
Reason to mope
Kansas played a fantastic game against K-State. The Jayhawks earned season highs in more than one category, but they also pulled in just six offensive rebounds, a season low. The lack of offensive boards is a little surprising given Kansas' recent success in the area, earning a season high just two games ago against Colorado Jan. 27.
Lack of offensive rebounds
Kansas is by no means a better team without senior guard Danielle McCray, who is out for the season with an ACL injury. But as Sunday's 70-60 victory against Kansas State revealed, the Jayhawks may be a stronger team.
"Unfortunately, Danielle being hurt, that kind of helped us out a lot," senior guard Sade Morris said. "We thought we were going to go far with her, and we know people are down that she's out, but
we need to prove ourselves and come together and play"

Take this as evidence of the layhawks' stronger teamwork. They earned as many assists (14) against the Wildcats as they did in a Jan. 17 victory against Missouri. In addition to that, Kansas

Engelman made her first start of the season against the Wildcats and not only earned a career high in points with 16, but also in assists with five.
Alongside Engelman, Morris, who is a familiar face in the starting line up, came within one assist of reaching her previous season high in assists.

Kansas also shot a season-high 56 percent.
K-State coach Deb Patterson said of McCray's absence. "I think this is a game in which emotion translated to great execution on their part."
Part of how far the Jayhawks can go without McCray this season will be based on how long they can continue to play with the fire and aggression they displayed
against the Wildcats.
"I think that it's going to carry us to the end." Davis said. "Were going to see them (McCray and Goodrich) every day in practice trying to get better. Every time we see that we're like, 'We have to do this for them.'"

with a career high 16 points while adding five assists.
"She has the green light now" McCray said. "You've got to take over."
Rarely considering the time left on the shot clock, Engelman and her teammates charged to the hoop with a sense of urgency. The Jayhawks dictated the pace of the first half with fast breaks and hurried, but intelligent, shots.
Without one of its best shooters, Kansas instead looked inside and opted for high-percentage shots. As a result, Kansas scored 18 points in the paint and shot 54 percent from the field in the first half.
With a game plan centralized on bombarding the rim in a hurry, Kansas led 36-26 at halftime with seven different players scoring in the opening 20 minutes.
"I think they'll buy into whoever is open. Whoever has got a good shot," Henrickson said.
But despite the conscious effort to attack the painted area.
Engelman was still firing away. As the only Jayhawk to play a full 40 minutes, she knocked down rim-evasive three-point shots, but also displayed her ability to drive and score closer to the hoop.
"We came out swinging," Engelman said. "Bonnie was telling us to be the lion and the aggressor."
As a defender, Engelman exhibited the necessary aggressiveness to prevent being a liability. She harassed her assignments by swatting at the ball, jumping around screens and fighting for rebounds.
"I was trying to pressure them and make them play faster," Engelman said.
Freshman forward Carolyn Davis was once again a force in the paint, using her size to her advantage on both ends of the court. Offensively, Davis properly positioned her overwhelming frame to create easy angles to the hoop. Defensively, she stood as the warden of the paint, clogging lanes and either blocking or altering shots. She earned her second career double double, tallying 14 points and 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes of play.
As an inside-outside tandem, Davis and Engelman disoriented the Wildcats' defense. The visitors weren't sure where to focus their attention with Engelman knocking down shots and Davis scoring in the paint.
"We're really close off the court," Davis said of Engelman. "So I knew she was going to prove herself today."
Despite Engelman and Davis' top-notch play, Sunday's victory was made possible by team-wide contributions. Rallying off of McCray's injury, the Jayhawks shot 60 percent in the second half and played passionately in a triumph they sorely needed.
Using the injury as an alleviating step rather than a handicap, Kansas exemplified the meaning of inspired basketball.
"Just because Danielle is out doesn't mean that the Jayhawks are going to go downhill," senior guard Sade Morris said. "We felt like we needed to prove something."

Knee injury ends McCray's season
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
twitter.com/maxrotthman
One of the best who ever donned the crimson and blue ended her career prematurely. Senior guard Danielle McCray tore the ACL in her left knee during Thursday afternoon's practice and will miss the remainder of the 2009-10 season.
McCray suffered the injury in
the first 15 minutes of practice during a four-on-four drill the team runs regularly. The drill was low in contact, but McCray, untouched, fell to the floor and let out a piercing scream.
MARTHA FOYER
McCray
"She's a very strong person," freshman guard Monica Engelman said. "To hear her in pain like that was overwhelming."
"She faked the screen and went baseline for a shot. That's something that I would do," McCray said.
Engelman replaced McCray in the starting lineup Sunday and looked the part of a talented impersonator.
As Engelman was scoring, McCray was acting as scribe. Knee braced and eyes peeled, McCray sat in between a row of assistant coaches and scribbled notes of observation.
"I was making sure that at every media timeout I had something to say." McCray said.
McCray said that she wanted to divert the attention from her injury and fill a new role as teacher.
"Moping around isn't going to change the outcome of anything," McCray said. "I have a new mindset. I have to help my teammates out."
Already carrying the team on her shoulders, senior guard Sade Morris must now lead Kansas without her sharp shooting teammate and dear friend.
"It hurts," Morris said. "I thought
about senior day. That's what you wait for."
The crushing news is something that this team has dealt with before. In a 70-68 loss against Oklahoma State on Jan. 12th, freshman guard Angel Goodrich tore the ACL in her right knee and ended her season. She tore the ACL in her left knee during a preseason practice last year and ended her true freshman season, forcing her to red-shirt.
"Me and Angel had an hour conversation last night," McCray said. "We think it's going to make us love the game even more. You never know how much you miss something until it is taken from you."
Goodrich will return as a sophomore next year. As a senior, McCray's career at Kansas has come to an end. However Henrickson feels that there is more to come from her fallen star.
"She's going to be okay," Kansas Coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She's going to be drafted and play professionally."
By numbers alone, McCray will be considered one of the greatest players in Kansas women's basketball history. She ranks in the top 10 in school history in 10 different categories. In 116 games, she scored 1,934 points (4th all time in school history). The second team preseason All-American averaged 19.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season.
"I've heard from a lot of people," McCray said. "Facebook inbox full. Phone calls and text messages. I told my mom that I didn't think that I was that important. You really don't know until something happens. It's cool how many people care about you."
With the two significant injuries, Kansas is surely handicapped in skill and depth. However, the Jayhawks can also rally around the injuries to ignite a fire as they did Sunday.
"That's what I love about this team," McCray said. "It makes them fight even harder."

Saints march out with title
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI, Fla. — The ultimate underdogs, they ain't. Not anymore. The Saints are Super Bowl champions now.
Who Dat? Try Drew Brees,
Sean Payton and a team that has
reversed its embarrassing past,
carrying an entire city to the top
with it.
Put away those paper bags forever.
Brees and the Saints rallied to upset Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 Sunday night in one of pro football's most thrilling title games.
"We just believed in ourselves and we knew that we had an entire city and maybe an entire country behind us," said Brees, the game's MVP. "What can I say?"
But not something many expected from these descendants of the hapless Aints, who were 5-point underdogs.
"Four years ago
I tried to imagine what this moment would be like for a long time, and it's better than expected."
Brees tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, the last a 2-yard slant to Jeremy Shockey for the winning points with 5:42 remaining. He was 32 for 39 for 288 yards.
Four years ago who ever thought this would be happening when 85 percent of the city was under water from (Hurricane) Katrina?" Brees said. "Most people not knowing if New Orleans would ever come back or if the organization and the team would come back. ... This is the culmination of that belief and that faith."
A surprise onside kick sparked the Saints' second-half comeback. Their 25th-ranked defense made several key stops, and Tracy
Porter's 74-yard interception return on a pass from Manning clinched it.
Manning tried to give chase, but was blocked by a New Orleans defender and fell awkwardly as the cornerback raced by. The four-time NFL MVP forlornly walked to the sideline as the Big Easy celebrations began.
"We knew that we had an entire city and maybe an entire country behind us."
"It's time for the Saints to celebrate," he said. " their field and it's their championship."
DREW BREES
Saints quaterback
An NFL also-ran for much of their 43 years, the Saints' football renaissance, led by Brees and Payton, climaxed with Shockey's touchdown and Lance Moore's 2-point conversion catch, originally ruled incomplete but overturned on Payton's challenge.
Porter's pick, just as dramatic as his interception of Brett Favre's
pass to force overtime in the NFC title game, was the game's only turnover. It's one Manning will forever regret.
The Saints (16-3) won three postseason games this winter after winning only two in the previous 42 years. They beat Arizona, Minnesota, and
"We weren't the Aims." Porter said. "We were a team of destiny, a team that can make big plays."
Indianapolis (16-3) — all division winners — for their first title, scoring 107 points and allowing only 59.
The championship came 4½ years after Katrina ravaged New Orleans, making the Saints nomads for the 2005 season. There even was some doubt they would return, but the NFL refused to abandon the city. The Superdome was repaired and the Saints won the NFC South in '06, their first season with Brees and Payton.

KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
Kansas (22-1, 8-0) and Texas (19-4, 5-3) have been the premiere teams in the Big 12 for the past few years. Kansas is 16-6 against Texas and has won five of the last six meetings. The two teams are perennial contenders in the Big 12 championship, meeting in three of the last four years—the Jayhawks winning all three. In the past five matchups, the games have all been within 10 points.

Nicolas Moya
Coach Bill Self said after the game, Texas is a big team and Withey will expectedly get the toughest task of his career.
QUESTION MARK
Have the Jayhawks overlooked teams just for this game?
Let's be honest — the overtime victory away at K-State was expected. The one in Colorado was a little sketchy, but understandable because of how well Colorado played. But when the Jayhawks found themselves trailing in the second half at home to last-place Nebraska, red flags were raised. This has been a grueling week for the Jayhawks, but they may have been looking past their opponents for the chance to take on the once-tranked Longhorns. Let's see if they play like it.

Henry hit two threes in the first two minutes of Saturday's game and it looked like he would finally break out of his slump.

★★★☆☆
Fresh off his fourth double double of the season, this will be Morris' toughest test yet. He has been a beast since Big 12 play began, scoring 17.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Texas has a front court comparable to Kansas, so Morris will have to continue his strong defense as well as his offense.

Aldrich had his four-game double double streak end against Nebraska, but he was in foul trouble for most of the game. Aldrich, along with Texas forward Damion James and Baylor center Ekpe Udoh, is averaging a double double in the league. With Dexter Pittman at center, Aldrich is going to have as much as he can handle.

Tyshawn Trivia: Believe it or not, Taylor has a better assist-to-turnover ratio than Kentucky's freshman phenom, John Wall. During the most recent game against Nebraska, Taylor had the ultimate hustle play, sprinting full-speed down the court just to draw an offensive foul.

Dogus Balbay, junior guard
Self said Saturday that Dogus Balbay is probably the best athlete in the Big 12. He does some things extremely well – his 2.7-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio is the best in the conference – but he's not much of a scorer and he flat-out cannot shoot the ball from distance. He's shooting just ten percent behind the arc.

Bradley is probably the best freshman in the country that doesn't play for Kentucky. He's really blossomed since conference play began, opening the Big 12 season with a 29-point outburst against Colorado and averaging 15.4 points per game. He's also the best shooter in the starting five, hitting 39.2 percent of his threes.
Justin Mason, senior guard

Mason is a Brady Morningstar-type player. He's never going to score 20 points and he probably won't overwhelm anyone with his numbers, but he does the little things right. He's the type of guy coaches love to have on their team. He averages just 3.7 points per game, but he protects the ball, turning it over less than once per game.

This could be the only game of the regular season when the Jayhawks don't have the best player on the floor. James isn't the frontrunner for National Player of the Year, but he's certainly in the conversation, averaging 18 points and 11 rebounds per game. He's a supreme talent anywhere from shooting

Pittman scored in double digits in 11 of the Longhorns' first 14 games. Since then, he's scored ten or more in just two of nine games.

TEXAS TIPOFF
ATAGLANCE
Two weeks ago, this would have been the game of the season. But Texas is 2-4 in their last six games after winning their first 17. If they continue this tailspin, they could play their way out of a top-4 seed in the NCAA tournament. Don't expect that to happen, though.
This team is loaded with NBA-caliber players, and they'll figure it out sooner than later. If it happens to be Monday, the Jayhawks could be in serious trouble.

James is the best of the bunch.
He's a threat to go for 20 points and/or 15 rebounds every game he plays in. He's not the best BBA prospect for the Longhorns – that's Jordan Hamilton – because he doesn't have a true position at the next level. He's too small to be a power forward, but doesn't yet have the outside game of a three. It won't stop him at this level, though. He can overpower threes and is too athletic for most fours to cover.
YOUNG
James
Which Dexter Pittman shows up?
QUESTION MARK
If the pre-conference play Pittman shows up, the Jayhawks are in trouble. With his massive body and surprising athleticism, he's exactly the type of player who can make life difficult for Cole Aldrich and company in the Jayhawk front-court. Early in the season he displayed a powerful offensive game, including a 23-point, 15-rebound tour-de-force against a solid North Carolina front line with multiple NBA prospects. If the Pittman who managed just five points and two rebounds against Connecticut comes out, Texas will have a heck of a time trying to pull the upset.

...if Texas plays like they are inferior. The Longhorns have lost four out of their last six games and are fourth in the Big 12, three games behind Kansas. When the No. 1 team comes to town, if the attitude is an expected loss then that's what will happen. Most teams that played well against Kansas had nothing to lose. Texas does.
... if Texas plays to their skill-level, not their ranking. Marcus Morris said he views Texas as a top-10 team no matter what their record says and his teammates feel the same way. If the Longhorns come out with the intensity to beat No.1 while not feeling sorry for themselves, expect another great Kansas/Texas matchup.

Phase one begins with the chest and back, pushing and pulling throughout a fierce program meant to fortify, improve and shape the significant muscles of the upper body. "Ab Ripper X," a 16-minute workout that aims to exercise every realm of the abdomen, comes next.
That is just the first day of the three-phase, 90-day workout P90X has in store for its customers. Each phase of this home-training system lasts four weeks and schedules six days of workouts and one day of cool down. Experts from Beachbody, the Los Angeles-based company that created P90X,
guarantee their customers will "go from regular to ripped in 90 days."
According to Beachbody.com, P90X includes 12 DVDs with routines focusing on the chest and back, shoulders and arms, legs, chest and triceps.
"I use it everyday," Logan Brown, a senior from Manhattan, said. "What I like about it is that it incorporates a lot of different workouts that I wouldn't normally do."
Brown said he really enjoyed the "Kenpo X" DVD, which features a cardio workout similar to Tae Bo. Brown said he also liked using the yoga DVD because it is a workout he wouldn't ordinarily do.
Other P90X DVDs include "Plyometrics" which consists of 30 high-charged jumping moves, and

Sex crimes, DUI offenses increase in Lawrence
BY ELLIOT METZ emetzkansan.com
Although the overall number of crimes went down, the city of Lawrence saw a sharp rise in both sex crimes and driving under the influence offenses over the last year when compared to 2008.
"There needs to be a big awareness of these problems so they can be avoided," Lyndsey Carrel, a sophomore from Spring Hill, said.
Some KU students think that the lack of knowledge about the numbers could be contributing to the problem.
The Lawrence Police Department reported that there were 163 sex crimes
The five crimes that occurred in Lawrence in 2009 that the Kansas Statutes define as "sex crimes" are rape, forcible sodomy, forcible fondling, incest and statutory rape.
Lawrence saw a significant increase in the number of raps last year; the number of reported incidents rose from 47 in 2008 to 71 in 2009 — a 51 percent jump.
reported in 2009, which is an 18 percent increase from 2008, when 138 cases were reported.
"That's really frightening," said Renae O'Keele, a sophomore from Cleveland, Mo. "I had no idea that the number of rapes would be that high."
"I just always make sure there's someone with me at all times." O'Keefe said. "It's easy to get caught up in the scene and be stupid, but you just have to know better than that."
Although she is aware of the potential dangers, O'Keefe admits that going out can present a slippery slope.
DUIs also saw a rise from 491 in 2008 to 612 in 2009 — a 25 percent increase.
Carrel lives by similar rules.
"Lock your doors, use SafeRide and just avoid bad situations," Carrel said.

New bill would redefine abuse
BY ERIN BROWN
ebrown@kansan.com
Legislators are reviewing a new House bill to expand the definition of domestic violence and help to better identify offenders early on. The bill is in response to delayed convictions of domestic violence in Kansas.
Representative Pat Colloton, R-Leawood, said the current laws in Kansas don't catch offenders early enough. In Kansas, domestic violence is defined as battery of a person, she said. The first two times the crime is committed it is a misdemeanor and the third time it is a felony.
"Only three people were convicted of domestic violence as felonies in Kansas last year," she said. "And you know there is much more domestic violence in Kansas than that."
Other crimes, such as destruction of property, threats and disorderly conduct, are not classified as domestic violence under the current law, said Colloton, vice-chair for the Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice.
Offenders may also be required to attend treatment such as anger management programs.
If these offenses were committed within an intimate partner relationship, the new bill, HB 2517, would ask police officers, attorneys and courts to consider them as possible domestic violence crimes. The offender's record would then receive a domestic violence tag that would remain on the conviction record, showing incidents of domestic violence and providing a better understanding of criminal history, lawmakers said.
Collotton said the tags would help catch domestic violence offenders before an incident of battery.
"The sociologists tell us domestic violence gets worse and worse with greater and greater risk," Colloton said. "We want that criminal history."
The mother and stepfather of former KU law student Jana Mackey testified in favor of the bill last week. Mackey, 25, was killed by her ex-boyfriend, Adolfo Garcia-Nunez, 46, in 2008. He reportedly choked her, struck her and cut her on the arm with a knife.
Two days after being taken into custody, Garcia-Nunez committed suicide.
Tanner Willbanks, a senior from Hays and former friend of Mackey, said he thought the bill was a good idea.
"Police will be able to watch escalations in the crime much easier," he said.
Willbanks said he didn't know whether Mackey would still be alive if a similar bill had been passed earlier, but that education is the best way to prevent domestic violence.
"People need to understand that just because their mom or dad did it, that doesn't make it right," he said.

Club hosts 'Lap dances for Haiti'
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A strip club in Ohio has raised $1,000 for Haitian earthquake relief during what was billed as "Lap dances for Haiti."
Marilyn's on Monroe in Toledo donated the $10 cover charges collected Saturday to ISOH (I-S-O-H)/IMPACT, an organization based in suburban Perrysburg that provides food and clothing for Haiti.
Marilyn's general manager Kenny Soprano says his establishment had been looking for a reason to hold a charity fundraiser even before the quake, as a way to improve its image. He says you don't hear much about strip clubs giving back to the community.
ISOH/IMPACT CEO Linda Greene doesn't have a problem with where the money came from. She says her group appreciates any donations to help Haiti.

Dow average closes below 10,000
NEW YORK — The Dow Jones industrial average closed below 10,000 for the first time in three months Monday on nagging concerns about debt loads in Europe.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Greece's finance minister said Monday the government is preparing to boost some taxes to shore up its finances. But civil servants opposed to cutbacks have pledged to strike on Wednesday.
Mounting deficits in weaker European economies including Greece, Portugal and Spain have raised questions about the health of the global financial system. That compounded concerns about growth in China and proposed U.S. bank regulations took the market down from a 15-month high reached in January.
The Dow fell 103.84, or 1 percent, to 9,908.39. On Thursday, the Dow traded below the psychological barrier of 10,000 for the first time since November. It didn't closed below that mark since Nov. 4. and first closed above 10,000 in March 1999. The Dow is still up 51.3 percent since last March.
Monday's drop extends the stumble the market began in mid-January. At that time, China announced plans to contain economic growth and the Obama administration proposed rules to restrict trading by large financial institutions.

Jerry Webman, chief economist at OppenheimerFunds Inc., said he doesn't expect that problems with rising debt loads in Europe will cascade into other parts of the world's economy, but he remains cautious.
Brett Hryb, a portfolio manager with MFC Global Investment Management in Toronto, said the latest concern is that the financial troubles in a country like Greece, whose economy is small compared with the rest of Europe, will spill into other countries.
500 index fell 9.45, or 0.9 percent, to 1,056.74, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 15.07, or 0.7 percent, to 2,126.05.
"Clearly Greece itself is nothing. It's just a blip. It's what the contagion could be," he said.
The dollar fell against other major currencies, while gold rose.
Questions about the global economy have interrupted a 10-month climb in stocks, which hit 12-year lows last March. The Dow is down 817 points, or 7.6 percent, from its recent high of 10,725.43 on Jan. 19.

VIOLENCE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
One in four women nationwide have been victims of domestic violence, Willbanks said. And according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, a domestic violence incident occurred in Kansas every 28 minutes and 34 seconds in 2004.
"Pretty much everybody has had it happen to somebody they
know," Willbanks said. "People need to realize that this is not something to stay silent about. People need to talk about it."
Erin Fletcher, a junior from Leawood, volunteers with Women's Transitional Care Services. She said education and awareness are important to prevention, and that she supports the
efforts of the new bill.
"It's just awful to see people that have been clearly abused, but the abuser never gets charged with anything," she said. "They really don't get enough justice."

Congressman dies at 77
Rep. John Murtha dies from surgery complications Monday

ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Rep. John Murtha, the tall, gruff-mannered former Marine who became the de facto voice of veterans on Capitol Hill and later an outspoken and influential critic of the Iraq War, died Monday. He was 77. The Pennsylvania Democrat had been suffering from complications from gallbladder surgery. He died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., with his family at his bedside, the hospital said.

SEN. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., addresses the crowd with Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., center, and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell. Murtha, a critic of the Iraq War whose congressional career was shadowed by questions about his ethics, died Monday. He was 77.
In 1974 Murtha, then an officer in the Marine Reserves, became the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress.
Murtha's opposition to the Iraq war rattled Washington, where he enjoyed bipartisan respect for his work on military issues.
Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said that in part because of Murtha, "America is now on track to removing all combat troops from that country by this summer."
President Barack Obama called Murtha, who was known in his home state for helping bring money and projects to areas depressed by the decline of the coal and steel industries, "a steadfast advocate for the people of Pennsylvania for nearly 40 years" with a "tough-as-nails" reputation.
Murtha was born June 17, 1932. The former newspaper
delivery boy left college in 1952 to join the Marines, where he rose through the ranks to become a drill instructor at Parris Island, S.C., and later served in the 2nd Marine Division. He settled in Johnstown, then volunteered for Vietnam, where he served as an intelligence officer and earned a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts.
district, said he and Murtha were longtime friends, despite holding different political views and serving in different branches of the military.
"He made sure that Washington, D.C., knew where Johnstown, Indiana, Kittanning and a lot of other sites in western Pennsylvania were located," White said.
Survivors include his wife of nearly 55 years, Joyce, and three children.

Leno's appearance in 'Late Show' ad kept secret from NBC, CBS staffers

In an image from video provided by CBS, David Letterman, Oprah Winfrey and Jay Leno, from right, record a promo for CBS "Late Show," which aired during the broadcast of the Super Bowl on Sunday. The promo was recorded earlier in the week at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York. The ad revised Letterman and Winfrey's Super Bowl spot from 2007, but with another person watching the game with them — late-night talk show host Jay Leno.
NEW YORK — To pull off the surprise Super Bowl spot he did with rival David Letterman, Jay Leno flew secretly to New York on the NBC jet last Tuesday and managed to sneak into the Ed Sullivan Theater undetected wearing a hoodie, sunglasses and a fake mustache.
Rob Burnett, executive producer of CBS "Late Show," said keeping Leno's participation under wraps was the key to preserving the effect of the 15-second promo, which featured the two late-night comedians uncomfortably watching the Super Bowl together, with Oprah Winfrey trying to keep the peace.
"We wanted desperately to keep this a secret," said Burnett. "Most of the staff didn't know."
At NBC, Leno's executive producer, Debbie Vickers, NBC Universal Television Entertainment Chairman Jeff Gaspin and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker were in the loop, but few others had a clue that Letterman and his longtime rival had joined forces for what was easily the most unexpected Super Bowl ad of the night.
In the spot, Letterman is seen on a couch, glumly munching potato chips. "This is the worst Super Bowl
"Now, Dave, be nice," responds Wintrey, seated beside him. The camera then pulls back to reveal Leno squeezed on the couch on the other side of her, with his own bowl of potato chips, "Oh, he's just saying that 'cause I'm here," the NBC host says. Letterman then mimics Leno in a high-pitched voice, prompting Wintrey to roll her eyes, sigh and throw up her hands in frustration.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Shared responsibility a must in all sexual relationships
With the recent release of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vac
The creation of a HPV vaccine for men emphasizes that women are not the only ones who should be concerned with seeking protection from the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the majority of sexually active men and women get HPV at some point in their lives.
Generally, it is assumed that sexual liability rests with the woman. This is not the case. People infected with HPV rarely experience symptoms. The lack of symptoms means there is an increased risk of passing it on to a partner, because many don't know they have the disease.
Although symptoms can be minimal, men are still at risk for getting genital warts, penile cancer, anal cancer and cancer of the throat. Women run a high risk of developing cancers of the cervix, vagina or vulva.
Dr. Robert Brown, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said he frequently has men come in who have bumps that turn out to be genital warts. At times the warts can be pronounced and hard to get rid of. The vaccine is a good way to prevent this prevalent problem.
Men should be as equally concerned about contracting and spreading HPV as women are. Getting vaccinated is something men should consider doing to protect themselves and any future sexual partners from contracting a disease.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the Gardasil vaccine for men last year, but the vaccination has been on the market for women since 2006. Gardasil is the only cervical cancer vaccine that helps protect against four types of HPV. Two of the types cause 70 percent of cervical cancer cases. Two more types cause 90 percent of genital wart cases.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, approximately 60 percent of female students will become infected with HPV while in college. These statistics should be as scary for men as they are for women; the "60 percent of female students" could include the woman with whom you are having sex.
It is important to be as responsible as your sexual partner, and this vaccine provides that chance. It takes two to tango, but women and men should both take the lead.
Now that this type of defense is available for anyone on campus, it is another opportunity for students to practice safer sex.
Men and women need to research this vaccine to decide if it is worthwhile for them.
Stefanie Penn for the Editorial Board
The Gardasil vaccine for both men and women is available at the Watkins Memorial Health Center, 1200 Schwegler Drive.

Genetically modified food needs support
Genetic engineering. The words are frightening enough without their
enough without their relentlessly malicious portrayal in popular science fiction, from Aldous Huxley's novel "Brave New World" to the film "Gattaca." Similar to the fears that these stories invoke, the use of genetic modification in agriculture grows, and its consumers have become increasingly wary. The manipulation of DNA is not a grim vision of a dangerous future, but rather, a key component of human progress
GM foods have been an integral part of human agriculture for thousands of years. Humans have selectively bred crops since the first farms were tilled. The modern genetic technology to introduce novel DNA is simply the next step.
Genetically modified (GM) foods are not a single, simple product, but are immensely complex. There are many ways to modify the genetics of agriculture, with many different objectives.
Genetic engineering isn't always about growing bigger crops. Many foods are engineered to provide vitamins, proteins or other nutrients that many impoverished people have little access to otherwise. The genetic modification of foods is so diverse and complex that few people should have the

Yet, many claim that the introduction of GM food is dangerous to humans, and the consumption of the foreign proteins artificially introduced could lead to harmful or allergic reactions.
hubris to claim to be against it all together
However, scientists work to ensure this is not the case; the foreign genes that are introduced are rigorously tested for safe human consumption. In fact, many "natural" unmodified crops may be even more dangerous.
BY SAI FOLMSBEE
stlmsbee@lanpan.com
Furthermore, scientists are researching ways to decrease the naturally harmful components of food by genetic modification, such as creating a strain of peanuts without the proteins that induce fatal anaphylactic shock.
Some critics of GM foods claim artificial plants harm the environment. Yet, many GM crops have much higher yields and can grow in harsher climates, thus requiring
less farmland to support a population. This translates into less deforestation, more efficient farming, and, often, less pesticides. A world supported entirely by natural plant species would almost certainly require mass deforestation.
Finally, GM foods have faced trying political setbacks. GM crops typically have patents, which makes it difficult for developing nations to utilize the technology and reap the benefits. However, this does not detract from the scientific safety and efficacy shown in this agricultural technology.
GM foods are still part of human technological progress towards better living, and generosity with such crucial advances should be shared globally. But this is a political, not a scientific, problem.
GM food are the future of agriculture, and their potential for reducing hunger around the globe cannot be denied. Instead of rejecting the entirety of genetically modified foods, we should work to promote research and development of such new forms of agriculture, to ensure that human farming is safe for both the consumers and the environment.

FASHION
Experiment with menswear
When it comes to "business casual," women have the luxury of many options in the world of dresses, skirts, suits, tights, pants, heels and blazers. Guys, on the other hand, have it tough.
At every formal function I attend almost every male is wearing some variation of a button-up dress shirt, slacks and dress shoes. This look has become quite the staple in menswear, and for dress occasions men tend to stick with this basic uniform.
Time to mix it up, boys.
When at a formal event, interview or even in an office, it can be difficult for men to set themselves apart from everyone else, especially if they are all dressed the same. But there is no need to fall into the depths of wardrobe monotony. Just follow a few basic rules, and be willing to experiment.
Pants are pretty much the standard bottoms for formal dressing. But shorts are acceptable when weather appropriate. Cargos are never formal attire. Keep it simple with a straight-legged dress pant, tailored to the correct length between the top and sole of the shoe and iron a pleat for sophistication.
Depending on the companion shirt, pants don't have to be solid. A small, understated pattern such as a two-toned herringbone or thin pintripe says a little extra creativity was put into the wardrobe. To keep cool when wearing pants on hot days, try a light sewer-sucker or linen. But, be careful; these fabrics can wrinkle easily.
A button-up dress shirt, though a safe bet, is not required to look dressy. But, don't always go with the popular, drab solids like grays and dark blue. Try a bright, cheery color like pale pink, yellow, pumpkin or mint green. An oxford with a pattern goes a long way. A simple checker, plaid or stripe will make any outfit unique and will show off originality.
The Hemline

BY ALEX ESPOSITO
aesposito@kansan.com
An alternative to the oxford is a nice, lightweight sweater. A pullover looks professional with solids, a light cable knit or classic prints like argyle. Pair a crewneck with a blazer or a v-neck over an oxford and tie. This look also looks great with a sweater vest
Being a man doesn't eliminate the opportunity to accessorize. A belt is a must, but don't just turn to solid brown or black leather; show style with braided leather or a patterned canvas belt.
A tie can take an outfit to the next level, but make sure it is tied correctly, is the proper length right above the belt and matches the outfit. It's time to graduate from clip-ons and zipper ties. Brooksbrothers.com has tutorials for a variety of knots, if still unsure on how to tie a tie. If a tie's too formal, consider experimenting with bowties in fun prints and colors.
Use shoes to show off personality. Instead of the standard pair of laced dress shoes, try a pair of loafers. If the occasion permits, experiment with a dressy pair of Converses in leather or a professional print to add some fun and humor to the look.
Fashion, even for men's business casual, is all about self-expression. Be bold. Just remember the two vital rules of business casual: Iron clothes, and always wear dress socks.

I like the E*Trade baby as much as anyone. I've already spent a solid hour replaying his airplane commercial. Traveling business-babies just don't get old.
Even so, the enjoyment I get from the financially-inclined baby doesn't measure up to the incredible, hold-your-breath, "did-their-really-just-happen?" moments of the Super Bowl itself. Take moments such as David Ytree's 2008 helmet-catch two years ago, Adam Vinatier's last-second, game-winning field goal in 2002 and, of course, Tracy Porter's fourth-quarter interception that sent the city of New Orleans into a drunken championship frenzy on Sunday.
It is moments such as these on a stage as big as the Super Bowl that make the game more important and entertaining than commercials, even those with a talking baby.
Unless he's playing football.
If we can get a bunch of talking babies to play football, I'll never watch anything else again.
The ads.

Let me just start off with this important note: I love football. I love it more than any other sport But the Super Bowl just kind of bores me.
Last year, I was certain Pittsburgh would win even when Arizona was making big plays. And there's always the sad feeling that there won't be any more football for several months after the game ends.
Luckily, the spectacle of the official end of the NFL season is great in other respects. The commercials are always the most fun part. Horses do funny things in the service of beer companies, awesome movie trailers are premiered and Tim Tebow tries to tell us that abortions are bad. I mean, the poor guy needs to be remembered during a pro football game somehow.
The Saints may have taken the trophy. But, the real winner was—as always—Budweiser.

Bill seeks to end city smoking ban
BY ROBERT ALTMAN
saltman@kansan.com
A new bill introduced by the Kansas House of Representatives last week could overturn local non-smoking ordinances, including the smoking ban in Lawrence, and allow business owners to bring smokers back inside.
Members of the House Committee of Health and Human Services introduced the bill last week and will conduct a hearing on Wednesday.
The bill has drawn harsh criticism from anti-smoking organizations because I provides exemptions for busi-
nesses to allow indoor smoking and disable communie from passing local ordinances.
While the bill would outlaw smoking
in enclosed areas statewide, it would also allow bars and restaurants the option to create designated smoking areas by paying an annual fee of $1 per square foot of smoking space.
Gov. Mark Parkinson, who has made passing a statewide smoking ban a priority, called the House bill a "ridiculous piece of public policy" and vowed to veto it at a news conference last Friday.
the coalition, said she thought the new bill went against American culture's general disapproval of public tobacco use.
"It would decrease our quality of life if it was passed, but I don't believe that it will," Bruner said. "I think the people in Lawrence are much more intelligent than that and I don't think they would stand for it."
"If smoking is that bad, then go after the product, don't go after the operators."
"(The bill) not only doesn't ban public smoking, it repeals the ordinances in communities that have had the courage to actually ban public smoking," Parkinson said.
Don Sayler, president of the Kansas Restaurant and Hospitality Association, said that a statewide bill needed to pass to ensure equal business opportunities for owners. While Sayler said
Lawrence's smoking ban has been in effect since 2004 largely because of anti-smoking agencies such as the Clean Air Lawrence Coalition, which strongly opposes the new bill.
DON SAYLER President, Kansas Restaurant and Hospitality Association
his organization had taken a neutral stance to the proposed bill, he said members were submitting testimony in support of the new provisions concerning business
Kathy Bruner, coordinator for
exemptions.
"If smoking is that bad, then go after the product, don't go after the operators," he said. "It's a legal product, yet the government thinks they need to intervene and tell an operator how to run his business."
Many who oppose the bill, including Paula Clayton, at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, have called for a statewide proposal that would allow local ordinances to remain in effect.
Clayton said her department would not support the bill because it provided no real protection from secondhand smoke.
Lawrence is one of 36 cities in Kansas with an indoor smoking ban in jeopardy of being overturned if the bill were to pass.

New trial asked for in Roeder case
WICHITA, Kan. — Attorneys for a man convicted of murdering a prominent Kansas abortion provider have asked for a new trial or an order of acquittal for their client.
Attorneys for Scott Roeder signaled their intent in a motion for a new trial made public Monday. Among other reasons, they cite a decision by the judge at Roeder's
trial last month to not allow jurors to consider a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter.
Such court filings are routine, but important to preserve the record on appeal issues. Arguments on the motion will be heard in March.
Roeder was convicted of first-degree murder in the May attack on Dr. George Tiller. Roeder admitted he shot Tiller in the head during services at the doctor's Wichita church.

If you bet that the Jayhawks two preseaon All-Americans would be the ones branding the Longhorns on Monday night, you were wrong.
Jayhawks overtake Longhorns
"Who would have ever thought that going into the season that wed win at Texas with Sherron and Cole going 5-for-23?" Bill Self asked after the game.
Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich did just shoot a combined 5-for-23 from the field, but Kansas still won by 12 points in Austin.
This game was a showcase of Kansas' talent away from Collins and Aldrich.
From the beginning, Kansas did an outstanding job of spreading the ball around. The trend continued and 12 minutes into the game, three Jayhawks had taken five shots, two had taken three, two had taken one and one had taken four.
"It was a good win because we're becoming a team," Self said. "We're not having to rely on one or two guys. Other guys are stepping up."
This balance was a key to the layhawks' 22-0 run that separated them from the Longhorns in the first half. During that 22-0 run, seven different players scored and no one person scored more than five points.
Marcus Morris is one player who helped turn attention away from Collins and Aldrich.

Marcus, Xavier save Kansas from slow start
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com

AUSTIN, Texas — Marcus Morris sat after the game tapping his dislocated finger on the table.
"I can't really feel it; it's cool," he said about his right middle finger. "It's not going to stop me from playing. I tore something."
Despite the damaged digit, Morris continued his Big 12 surge, leading the Jayhawks with 18 points and eight rebounds in their 80-68 victory against Texas Monday.
But it wasn't as competitive of a game as most expected. In the first five minutes, Texas looked like the better team, and Kansas could do nothing except turn the ball over.
All of a sudden, trailing 8-14, the Jayhawks came alive, going on a 22-0 run with solid defense and mistake-free offense.
Finally, after a series of games where the Jayhawks looked anything like No.1, they showed it against the Longhorns.
Xavier Henry had a strong showing with 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting, but didn't notice his team was taking over the previously ranked No.1 Longhorns.
"I didn't even know we went on a 22-0 run. I was just excited to be playing," he said. "I knew we were scoring and playing good defense. I was just watching."
They also showed on the glass, where the Jahawhys outrebounded the Longhorns 45-34 even both were regarded as two of the biggest teams in the nation.
"We have a lot of fault on our team as far as rebounding and defending," Morris said. "I think we came out real aggressive. I think we took the first punch and never let up."
He blamed his unsuccessful night on Texas' Dexter Pittman.
The length of the Longhorns did make life difficult for Cole Aldrich. Aldrich, who did have six blocked shots, went 2-of-10 from the floor and ended up touling out with just under four minutes to go.
"There's a few I should have kicked out, but there are some big guys down there," he said.
But the layhawks held on in a drawn-out finish to an otherwise uncompetitive game.
Aldrich was hit with a technical for throwing an elbow after the play was blown dead. He said it was unintentional.
Coach Bill Self said he was glad to get through a game like this, as weird and unpredictable as it was.
Free throws off the technical and an-and-one play by Texas brought the Longhorns within eight with about 3:40 to go.
"It didn't have any rhythm either way, which probably helped us." Self said. "But it feels good to win a muddy game."

Henrickson challenges forwards' performance
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
twitter.com/maxrothman
Senior guard Danielle McCray tore the ACL in her left knee during Thursday's practice, promptly ending her career at Kansas.
Without their best long range shooter, the Jayhawks have slightly changed their plans and brought things inside.
So when Kansas defeated Kansas State 70-60 Sunday, it was derived from a recipe of doing more of everything that McCray didn't.
"We've got to establish an inside game, throw it to them early to give them some confidence and get some bigs in foul trouble," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Freshman guard Monica Engelman assumed McCray's starting position and led her team in scoring with a career high 16 points in a full 40 minutes of play. But Engelman is no McCray. Skillwise, someday perhaps. Role-wise, as of now, nowhere close.
"I think she went 4-for-6 in the sets that typically are for Danielle," Henrickson said. "But Monica's
been in that spot as Danielle's been in foul trouble."
Engelman was efficient in converting six-of-nine shots Sunday, but her shooting totals indicate that she is a popular option, but not the primary one. Through 20 games this season, McCray averaged just below 16 shot attempts per game. In only one of those 20 games did she attempt fewer than 10 shots
as Engelman did Sunday in a full 40 minutes. Reason being for the lone anomaly, McCray was benched because of severe foul trouble. She recorded just 28 minutes of play in a 54-49 victory against UCLA on Dec. 3.
approximate seven extra shots that McCray fired away, someone else is.
"She's got to keep people off the glass. I challenge her daily to be better on the defensive boards."
That's where Henrickson considers some interior design.
"We need production from the posts," junior forward Nicollette Smith said. "Bonnie has been pounding that into our brains."
Henrickson didn't even bother playing junior guards Marisa
By no means is this a criticism of Engelman. It would be unwise of her to shoot as much as McCray in her first career start, especially considering the success that she had by taking just nine shots. But if Engelman isn't taking those

just one minute), the decision was also based on the need to integrate junior center Krysten Boogaard into the rotation.
"She's got to keep people off the glass." Henrickson said. "I challenge her daily to be better on the defensive boards."
Henrickson allotted bench minutes based on her team's needs. She gave Smith and Boogaard a total of 29 minutes, while senior Kelly Kohn was the only guard off the bench with just three minutes.
"Yesterday I felt like it was the right thing to do," Henrickson said. "I felt like our kids never got real fatigued."
Despite using a three guard starting lineup, 35 of Kansas' 70 points were scored by forwards and centers.
The emphasis on getting the ball to the post players cashed in when one might have thought that the only prize had just gone down to injury. No McCray, no problem. Kansas forced the ball inside and attacked the rim for high percentage and often uncontested shots. As a result, Kansas finished with a pristine 56 percent shooting from the field.
"I don't think we took a bad shot in the game," Morris said. "We were getting layups and knocking down free throws and that helped our percentage."

MORNING BREW
An open letter to Sherron
Dear Sherron, I've spent the past four years watching you grow. You've
Waiting you grow. You've blossomed from a blazing quick change of pace off the bench to one of the best point guards, and players, in the nation. You're a true leader on and off the court, a guy that demands the most from his teammates and makes them better.
YOU ARE NOT POSSIBLE TO RECOVER FROM THIS CRIME.
I was watching as you stole the inbounds pass and buried that crucial three from the corner against Memphis. And when you blasted Oklahoma for five deep triples last season. Or just last week, when you bulled your way to the bucket and laid it off the window to topple the Wildcats in the "Octagon of Doom."
Your maturation has been incredible to watch. From quiet freshman to outspoken senior, from top reserve to one of the greatest Jayhawks of all time — you've given Kansas fans almost more than they could have asked for. But I have one more request to make before you play your last game as a Jayhawk.
(Bill Self is not going to be happy about this one).
Please, just one time, throw one down at Allen Fieldhouse.
Now I know you've probably dunked in practice, or in a Late Night outing that I missed, but just know that I'm talking
BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com
about an in-game slam.*
*Perhaps some of you doubt the 5'11" Collins' leaping ability in the first place. If that's the case, then let me direct you to your new favorite YouTube clip: search for "Sherron Collinson Dunk" on YouTube
And in case you're not by a computer,
here's what you're missing out on:
Collins, not yet clad in crimson and blue (well, blue anyway — he's on the red team in the McDonald's All-American game) receives the ball on a breakaway as time is about to expire. He then dribbles once before firing an underhand pass off the glass, not to the trailing Kevin Durant, but to himself. Collins then soars into the air and hammers it down with the left hand (!) like a corrowed Nate Robinson.
Sure, you carry a bit more muscle these days and your knees have four more years of mileage on them, but we
THE MORNING BREW
all know better than to question your athleticism. So just close your eyes and move that scene to the Fieldhouse. Imagine slamming one home, inciting a maniac chorus of cheers in the Phog and demoralizing the opposition in the process.
And aside from another NCAA tournament run (and, fingers crossed, another national title), what better parting gift can you give the fans than that?
So come on, Sherron — you've got four games left.
PS. Dunking in the home finale, a March 3 contest against Kansas State, would be especially sweet.

Texas held at 16 points below season average
BY TIM DWYER

Texas came into Monday's much-hyped match up with one certifiable fact. They could score the basketball.
Through the first 23 games of the season, there wasn't a team in the Big 12 that was averaging more points per game than the No. 14 Longhorns, who were scoring more than 84 per contest.
Credit Cole Aldrich, credit Brady Morningstar, credit really anyone who saw minutes for the Jay hawks Monday night, because holding the Longhorns to 16 points below their season average in an 80-68 victory took the entire Kansas roster.
"That's a main part of our team." Marcus Morris said. "We've got a lot of guys you can go to. Xavier stepped up big today. We needed him to step up today. Sherron stepped up at the guard position and Cole got in early foul trouble but he rebounded big. Markieff gave us good minutes and I did OK."
Outside of Damion James, who just might be the best all-around player in the country, and J'Covan Brown, who hit even contested shots late, the Longhorns managed just 16 points.
The most telling defensive statistic of the nig was the 22-point margin in points off turnovers. Not only were the layhawks forcing turnovers they forced 17 and scored 27 points off them but also on the rare occasion that they turned the ball over, they were quick enough back that Texas still couldn't find a way to score.

The Jayhawks were able to hold massive Texas center Dexter Pittman off the boards and off the scoreboard for most of the night. Pittman, who measures in at 6 feet 10 inches and 290 pounds, managed just three points and three boards on the night, and the Jayhawks won the rebounding battle 45-34.

"We knew they were a good rebounding team," Henry said. "They talked about them all week as being a good rebounding team, so we just had to go out and rebound and be tough."
"I don't think there's a dominant team," Morris said. "We have a lot of faults on our team as far as rebounding and guarding. I think we came out real aggressive against these guys. I think we took their first punch and never let up."
The Jayahwacks may have had faults early in the season in terms of rebounding and defense, but those woes vanished Monday night.
Morris was beset to crown the Jayhawks as a dominant team, though.

ALAN MCKAY
Marcus Morris was the best player on the floor for the Jayhawks, but considering Xavier Henry's recent struggles, he gets the nod in this slot. He had 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting to go along with five rebounds and two assists. The most impressive stat from Henry, though, was his zero turnovers in 31 minutes of play. He's averaged 3.5 in 22.5 minutes over the last four games.

Aldrich and Sherron Collins combined to shoot just 5-of-23 from the field, and Aldrich finished with just seven points and five rebounds. It's the second consecutive game that he's gone for single digits in both categories. He was his usual dominant self in the paint with six blocks, but even that was tarnished when he picked up his fifth foul with a technical foul.
Stat of the night
27-5
The Jayhawks had 27 points off turnovers to the Longhorns' five. It was largely a product of not turning the ball over – Kansas finished with only 10 - and forcing the Longhorns into 17 turnovers. The biggest reason, though, was arguably Kansas' most dominant defensive effort of the season.

Quote of the night
"I thought my sub for the free throw was a very smart coaching move. I've never seen that before. It'll be on ESPN Not-Top-10 for the next six months."

Prime plays
1ST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY)
13:28 Brady Morningstar hit a three, starting the defining run for the Jayhawks (11-14)
17:15 Sherron Collins was upset after being called for an offensive foul. As we all know, an angry Sherron can be a bad thing—like when he slashed the lane for a quick layup right after. (5-7)
4:52 Sherron Collins was feeling the run the Jayhawks were on and nailed a three with a defender in his face. That capped a 22-0 run for the Jayhawks. (30-14)
10:18 After a few failed possessions on both teams, Markieff Morris brought the drought to an end by tying the game with a three. (14-14)
2ND HALF
10:55 After a bunch of dribbling and a spin move, Marcus Morris found an open lane from the top of the key and bolted ahead for a layup. (48-32)
4:01 Any momentum Texas had after getting the lead down to 10 just evaporated with Markieff Morris' offensive put-back with an and-one. (64-51)
8:59 Sherron Collins had a pretty behind the back pass to Cole Aldrich. He didn't finish the dunk he started, but it went back down anyway. The Jayhawks are pouring it on at this point. (55-36)
19:42 Damion James turned the ball over to start the second half and Xavier Henry took it in for a dunk. (36-24)
Key stats
Prized Texas freshman Jordan Hamilton and J'Covan Brown finished the first half shooting 1-for-10.

3.3
Dexter Pittman finished with just three points and three boards despite Cole Aldrich's foul trouble.

Markieff Morris almost got a double-double with nine boards and eight points, despite playing just 19 minutes.

Saints coach basks in Super Bowl win
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – There's no telling when – or even if – he'll ever experience this moment again. 50 Saints coach Sean Payton tried to make the experience last as long as he possibly could.
After his Saints beat the Cotts, 31-17, in Super Bowl XLIV, Payton slept with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
"This thing laid in my bed next to me." Payton said, pointing to the trophy Monday morning at
a news conference before the Saints returned home to a dizzying welcome from their fans. "I rolled over a couple times, and I probably drooled on it, man. Nothing like being an NFL coach and
"Nothing like being an NFL coach and being part of this with great players like Drew Brees."
than $8 million in 2010.
The most unforgettable season in Saints history came to a triumphant end Sunday night, as MVP Brees brought the Saints back from a 10-0 deficit to give the franchise its first Super Bowl title in the team's 43-year history. But there's no guarantee of what comes next, and whether the Saints can duplicate this year's run any time soon.
Thomas is a restricted free agent, and the Saints might want to make a longer-term commitment with him over Bush. Other restricted free agents include Pro Bowl guard Jahri Evans and strong safety Roman Harper.
Free safety Darren Sharper, whose nine interceptions were tied for the NFL lead, is an unrestricted free agent, as is linebacker Scott Fuita.
If the Saints are to pull off a rare Super Bowl repeat - the last one being the Patriots in Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX - they'll have to do it with a different roster. The Saints face numerous off-season decisions that could have a significant impact on which players return next season, and which depart as free agents or in trades.
being part of this with great players like Drew Brees. I don't take that lightly. I'm honored."
There's plenty of uncertainty regarding tailback Reggie Bush, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2006 draft. Bush has become a backup to Pierre Thomas and is used mostly out of the backfield as a receiver, meaning the Saints might want to part ways because of his bloated salary; he counted for more than $12 million on their 2009 salary cap, and he is due to make more
But many other key players will be in place next season, including Brees, linebacker Jonathan Vilma.
SEAN PAYTON New Orleans Saints coach
and wide receiv-
and wide receiver Marques Colston.
The Colts, meanwhile, have most of their key players returning next season, and Peyton Manning is expected to
sign a contract extension that will make him the highest-paid player in the NFL. The biggest unrestricted free agent is middle linebacker Gary Brackett, and he is likely to get plenty of interest around the league. Despite the Super Bowl loss, the Colts will likely go into next season among the favorites to come out of the AFC once more.
"This will only make us hungrier for next season, and we'll come back and regroup," coach Jim Caldwell said.
For now, the moment belongs to the Saints. The magic was perhaps best summed up by this scene late Sunday night, when Saints quarterbacks coach Joe Lombardi, grandson of former Packers coach Vince Lombardi, was photographed holding the trophy named for the venerable coach:
"Joe Lombardi, his father, Vince Jr., and his two brothers sat and posed with this trophy, the four of them, while pictures were taken," Payton recalled. "I just thought to myself, 'You've got to be kidding me.' If you believe in heaven, and you believe Vince Lombardi is there looking down on his grandson, it doesn't get any better."

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Scotte Reynolds scored 19 of his 21 points in the final 13 minutes and No. 4 Villanova held off No. 5 West Virginia 82-75 on Monday night.
Villanova wins the season's first game between top-five teams.
The Wildcats (21-2, 10-1)
rebounded from a blowout loss at No. 7 Georgetown on Saturday to pull into a first place tie with No. 2 Syracuse in the Big East.
West Virginia (19-4, 8-3) led only in the game's opening minutes, couldn't overcome an 11-point halftime deficit and saw its six-game winning streak snapped. The Mountaineers will have to wait until Friday night at No. 25 Pittsburgh to try for their sixth straight 20-win season.
Corey Fisher added 17 points and Antonio Pena had 10 for Villanova in the season's first matchup of teamed ranked in the top five.
Darryl Bryant led five Mountaineers in double figures with 15 points. Devin Ebanks and DaSean Butler had 13 apiece.
Villanova shot 57 percent (29 of 51) from the field and out-rebounded the Mountaineers 38-30. West Virginia didn't help its cause at the free-throw line, finishing 18 of 32.
This was West Virginia's first home game since fans threw objects onto the court last Wednesday, one of which struck Pittsburgh assistant coach Tom Herrion under his right eye. WVU President Jim Clements apologized to the University of Pittsburgh and declared that "boorish and unruly behavior by our fans will not be tolerated."
Students behaved themselves this time. They scrapped a derogatory chant typically done during opponent introductions.

Walt Gibber and Geoff McCammon each scored nine points for the Ramblers (13-11, 4-10), who have lost six of their past seven games against Butler.

Vesaily's five straight points early in the second half broke a 29-29 tie and gave the Bulldogs their first lead since they scored the first two points of the game. Butler used a 15-8 run over the next 8 minutes to open a 49-37 lead. Shelvin Mack's 3-pointer capped the spurt.

Nebraska moves ahead in ranking
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nebraska keeps winning and climbing up the Top 25.
The unbeaten Cornhuskers (21-0) moved past Notre Dame to No. 3 on Monday in The Associated Press women's basketball poll. Nebraska trailed the Irish in the poll by 27 points last week, but were buoyed by victories over then-No. 10 Oklahoma State and 12th-ranked Texas A&M to move two points in front.
AP TOP 5 WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL
"They are still undefeated and are beating some pretty good teams," said voter Paul Zeise of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, who had Nebraska No. 2 on his ballot this week. "They've played a lot of teams that have been ranked in the top 10 and beat them all. They haven't really had a close game."
2. Stanford 21-1
1. Connecticut (40) 23-0
Sounds like a familiar scenario to UConn, which remained No. 1 for a record 38th straight week. The Huskies (23-0) routed West Virginia and Louisville this week. Connecticut has won 62 straight games, all by double digits.
3. Nebraska 21-0
Stanford remained second with Notre Dame falling to fourth
4. Notre Dame 21-1
5. Tennessee 20-2
despite winning twice this past week — and Tennessee fifth.
While there wasn't much surprise at UConn's continued success, the Cornhuskers didn't even start the season ranked and didn't crack the Top 25 until the fourth week of the season. Before this run, Nebraska's highest ranking had been 12th in 1997.
Nebraska, which will visit Kansas on Wednesday and Missouri on Saturday, has won most of its games by double digits with Miami being the only team to come within five points.

The Mountain West Conference is doing some serious climbing.
A league that has always had to fight for respect as it tries to join the ranks of the power conferences, the 11-year-old Mountain West had three teams in The Associated Press' Top 25 on Monday, one more than the Atlantic Coast Conference and three more than the Pac-10.
Kansas (22-1) remained the runaway No. 1, receiving 55 first-place votes from the national media panel. Syracuse (23-1), which received eight first-place votes, moved up one spot to become the fourth No. 2 in as many weeks. The ranking is the highest for the Orange since a six-week stretch at No. 1 in 1989-90.
Kentucky (22-1), which was No. 1 on two ballots, moved up one place to No. 3, while Villanova and West Virginia, which met Monday night, were fourth and fifth.
New Mexico, BYU and UNLV, which are in a three-way tie for first place in the Mountain West, give the league three teams in the Top 25 for the first time.
"BYU, New Mexico and UNLV are reaping the benefits of unprecedented national television exposure and enhanced non-conference scheduling." Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson said in a statement. "All three teams have really extended their schedules and some very quality wins are now being reflected. It is a real tribute to the coaches to see Top 25 matchups each week in Conference play as well."

The dilemma of culture ecology and moving on in the Wakarusa Wetlands
Photos by Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN
BY JUSTIN LEVERETT
jleverett@kansan.com
When he needs to escape the bustle of modern life, Kelly England goes to the wetlands south of Haskell Indian Nations University.
In a canoe, he explores the twists and turns of the swamp. He prays at the medicine wheel south of campus, a crop art image of an eagle facing the east, the direction of the rising sun. He hangs wrapped tobacco offerings in trees to purify the area, and uses the sweat lodge to pray for those he cares about. For
him, the wetlands are sacred.
"It's just another form of a church," England said. "If people would understand how much a church means to them, they would kind of understand how a place like this could mean a lot to somebody."
But the wetlands are threatened by state plans to build the South Lawrence Trafficway, a proposed six-lane highway with a 12-foot high sound barrier that would cross through the wetlands just south of Haskell's land. The intended highway, which would connect I-70 west of Lawrence to K-10, has been contested for more than 20 years.
Student and local groups, including the Wetlands Preservation Organization, Save the Wakarusa Wetlands and the First Nations Student Advisory Board, have filed a series of legal procedures to prevent the highway from being built. So far, the court filings have halted construction by challenging proponents at every turn.

Exterior of Spooner to receive repairs
Spooner Hall, one of the oldest buildings on the KU campus, is set to undergo a $1.1 million makeover.
The University announced Tuesday that the facade of the 117-year-old building will be cleaned, repaired and water-proofed.
Crews will patch deteriorated stone and replace capstones that are beyond repair, Jill Jess, University spokeswoman, said in a news release.
Spooner Hall served as the first University library and has housed various museums since opening. It was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1974.The interior of the building was renovated in 2007 to house Spooner Commons, a collaborative space for meetings, workshops, exhibits and lectures.
Jess said the project would begin in early March and would be paid for by state repair and rehabilitation funding. The project is expected to be completed by fall, she said.

WASHINGTON — Micene Obama on Tuesday unveiled "Let's Move" — her national public awareness campaign against childhood obesity, a problem she says concerns her both as first lady and as a mom.
One in three American children are overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other illnesses. Billions of dollars are spent every year treating obesity-related conditions. And public health experts say today's kids are on track to have shorter lifespans than their parents.
"None of us wants this future for our kids," Mrs. Obama said at the White House. "We have to act, so let's move."

WETLANDS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
American Indian students and professors point to the painful history of cultural assimilation at Haskell as motivation to fight the trafficway. They view the struggle for the wetlands as a fight for their cultural identity, which has throughout history been effaced by impression
THE HIGHWAY
The South Lawrence Trafficway, which would cut through the wetlands, was listed as the Kansas Department of Transportation's fifth-highest priority future highway project in the state. The highway would extend seven miles, running parallel to 31st Street, and is
expected to cost approximately $150 million.
Although proponents have fought to build the highway for more than 20 years, K-DOT does not have the funding to complete the project. The state's 10-year highway funding program ran out in July 2009, and a new State transportation funding program is expected in July 2010. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' environmental impact statement, written to determine the effect the road would have on the surrounding area, summed up the attitude of highway proponents.
"Mv point is to do the research, find
Corky Armstrong, head architect for the project, said people should not allow strong emotions and personal opinions to slant their viewpoints or to obscure the facts.
"If you argue against that, what does that make you?" he said. "Well, I've been told it makes me insensitive, it makes me clueless, it makes me racist, it makes me a bigot — and there's a long list of names that I've been called."
"There is widely expressed frustration with the community's inability to move forward with the construction of the bypass," the statement said. "A 'let' just get it done' opinion was frequently expressed."
"...find out what is going on for sure, before you start making judgment calls."
According to an e-mail sent by Mayor Rob Chestnut, the city and county governments both support the trafficway, but they still have not succeeded in finishing the project. Roger Boyd, retired professor of biology at Baker University and proponent of the highway project, said he thought it would soon be built. Boyd leads a mitigation project meant to restore acres of wetlands to the area, which he hopes will make up for the environmental damage caused by the proposed highway.
Boyd devoted his life to the wetlands after his father died in an accident on the land in 1982. He said he considered the wetlands as sacred as the American Indians did. The trafficway debate has become simply a platform for activists to fight, he said, and for American Indians to strengthen their cultural identity.

Patrick Freeland, a Haskell senior from the Muskogee nation, said tribes
Called the United States Indian Industrial Training School, the institution was one of a network of off-reservation boarding schools operated by the federal government's Bureau of Indian Affairs. These schools forcibly took children as young as 3 years old from their tribal families and attempted to assimilate them into the white mainstream culture. Haskell operated as one of 1,400 boarding schools throughout the country, with a reputation as one of the strictest.
"Just think if you lost your kids, if your kids were pulled from you, for no reason other than you being an Indian," he said. "And if you said 'no' you were declared incompetent."
Many children died of malnutrition, malaria, typhoid, and pneumonia because of the poor living conditions at the school. Haines said it was difficult to get elders, who had been through boarding schools, to talk about their experiences.
"Iimagine if all of a sudden you were taken to Siberia. It was someone else saying 'I know more about you than you.'" Freeland said. "Haskell's connection to the wetlands is a synaptic bridge."

would leave medicine bundles for the students of the boarding school in the wetlands bordering the campus. Medicine bundles contained medicinal herbs specific to each tribe, allowing students to reconnect with the culture they had lost. In part, this is why Haskell students consider the wetlands sacred.

Pinwheels mark the graves of children who died during Haskell University's time as a boarding school in the early twentieth century. Poor living conditions and lack of sanitation drove some children to attempt to escape into the wetlands, where many died from tuberculosis and pneumonia.
The boarding school was organized like a military camp, and students who tried to run away were called deserters. Successful deserters were hunted by bounty hunters and, when returned to campus, were beaten or sent to a tiny prison building.
"If people sat down and looked at it, they would say,'This happened in America?'
"You're talking about a history that's horrendous," Haines said. "If people sat down and looked at it, they would say, 'This happened in America?' It was suppression, repression, cultural genocide. It was like anything else — if someone was in your way, you'd get rid of them."
CHUCK HAINES
Haskell professor
Kelly England's grandfather, Archie Hawkins, experienced the strictness of the boarding school first hand. England said his grandfather was forced to wear shoes that were too small, which bent his feet out of shape and made it uncomfortable-
able for him to walk for the rest of his life.
"He was 70 or so when he finally got his feet corrected," England said. "They had to re-break his bones. He didn't seem better, and you could tell in his voice that he didn't like that."
Students at Haskell were organized into platoons, forced to cut their hair and sent to various work details in the kitchens, laundry or sewing rooms. They were given English names and banned from speaking in their tribal
tongues. if they refused, they were beaten or jailed.
LOSING BATTLE
Haines said the proposed highway was the most recent incarnation of this long history of abuse of tribal people. The depth of American Indians' pain, he said, is what brings the activist groups to court year after year, in attempts to block the proposed highway.
England said he thought the highway would eventually be built. But he said the continuing struggle against it continued to be a matter of American Indian pride and history.
"They'll succeed, but it might take a while," he said. "It's not about a money thing. As students and alumni and everyone that uses this facility, they know that it's not about money. It's about our dignity."
He said the painful past at Haskell deepened American Indians' concerns for the fate of the wetlands. When he walks through the wildlife south of the school, he sometimes stops at the small cemetery where the children from Haskell's years as a boarding school are buried. For England, this remains sacred ground.

Bankrupt production firm sells rights to 'Terminator'
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — The behind-the-scenes battle for rights to the "Terminator" franchise has gotten as cutthroat as the killer robots from the action movies.
Following a contentious auction Monday night in which private equity fund Pacificor won the right to make future "Terminator" films, Sony Pictures and Lions Gate Entertainment are now in talks with Pacificor to jointly take control of the property.
According to several people familiar with the process who asked for anonymity because the talks are private, the two studios joined together to bid for the
rights Monday against Pacificor. However, the private equity fund prevailed with an offer of $29.5 million.
Pacificir also agreed to pay Halcyon Co., a production firm that owns the "Terminator" rights and filed for bankruptcy last August, an additional $5 million per movie for up to three sequels.
With no experience in the entertainment industry or ability to produce sequels itself, however, Pacificor is now engaged in discussions with Sony and Lions Gate to handle future "Terminator" films. The parties are still working out
If those talks aren't concluded amicably, the people said, Sony and Lions Gate may file objections to the way the auction process was handled Wednesday at a bankruptcy court hearing, which is intended to approve the sale.
Pacificor's so-called "credit bid" would erase the disputed debt owed to it by Halcyon.
If the hearing goes smoothly, Pacificor may leave with its debt resolved and Sony and Lions Gate with the opportunity to make more "Terminator" films.
potential deal terms.
Halcyon would be in a stronger position to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and return to the movie production business. If all doesn't go well, however, there's no telling when and with whom the Terminator will be back.

Studio pleads guilty to animal cruelty
ITV Studios, producer of "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here," was fined $2,615 after pleading guilty Monday, the Australian RSPCA said Tuesday.
ADELAIDE, Australia — A British broadcaster has been convicted of animal cruelty after two reality show contestants skinned, cooked and ate a rat during filming in Australia.
The RSPCA filed a complaint in
December against show participants chef Gino D'Acampo and actor Stuart Manning who prepared the risotto-and-rat meal on the wilderness show late last year.
Animal activists said the rat took more than 90 seconds to die.
After plea, the RSPCA decided to drop its complaints against D'Acampo and Manning, according to a statement from David O'Shannessy, chief inspector for the New South Wales state RSPCA.

Policy for equal protection in the military is overdue
The federal policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is one of the most forthright examples of
Passed under the Clinton administration, the law bars gays and lesbians from openly serving in the military. Though originally considered a compromise from an outright ban of gays and lesbians in the military, the law is nothing more than a juvenile, poorly worded and ignorant piece of legislation
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" evidently demonstrates that the equal protection clause in the Fifth Amendment doesn't apply to the treatment of gay people.
What is even more troubling about the 16-year survival of this law is that the Department of Defense has failed to give any rational explanation for why the rule should be any different for heterosexuals.
The sexual identity of a specific group is in not relevant to its performance as military personnel. According to the Legal Defense Network, millions of dollars are spent a year on discharging LGBTs, and this isn't going to make or break the defense department's budget. But surely a better way to expend this money can be found than by investing in the irrational elimination of adequate service members.
This unjust administrative oppression has been a problem since the investigation of gay men and women serving in WWII. These people were given blue discharges, which were neither dishonorable nor honorable, but disqualified these soldiers from subsequent military benefits.
Finally, after more than half a century of gays and lesbians serving with mouths shut and cheeks turned, Obama, as promised in his campaign, pledged with enthusiasm a call to action for the freedom of LGBTs in the military.
The original policy of issuing a blue discharge and the successive "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy has ruined the lives of thousands of Americans who served with patriotism and spirit.
In his State of the Union speech, Obama announced that after 2010 he would work with lawmakers and defense leaders to reverse "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
"It's the right thing to do," he said during the address.
People, particularly those will
ing to risk their lives for this country, should not be met with intolerance and forced into silence simply because of whom they love or how they identify themselves.
LGBTs should be allowed to openly serve in the armed forces, so that, at last, gays and lesbians in all branches of military and ROTC programs can be who they are, without having to worry about being discharged and stripped of their benefits.
The president cannot persuade congressmen and senators on his own.
Take a stand and get involved by contacting local representatives. Kansas currently has no co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, and though things may be looking up for LGBTs in the military, this effort needs all the help it can get.

Gender inequality stunts chances for academic growth
As recently as 1978, women were banned from enrollment in certain colleges. Now, women's lead in enrollment compared to men has capped out at 57 percent. In students 25 and older, the gap has settled at on even more drastic ratio: two women to one man.
A recent study by the American Council on Education, however, shows the gender gap in college has stopped growing, the only exception being with Hispanic students. There are many theories as to why the gap has plateaued.
It's possible that supply and demand has as much influence on gender roles as it does on Wall Street. During World War II, women rushed to fill the empty jobs left by so many enlisted men. Now, with the recession limiting employment, many men are returning to school in a similar surge.
What about the feminist movement? More women are putting off raising families to focus on
Are women just "brainier"? Anything women and men tend to have different aptitudes, there's nothing showing that one sex is smarter than the other.
I am a teacher. I have been teaching for 20 years. I have taught in various grades, including preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school. I also tutored students in algebra, geometry, and precalculus. I am a proud member of the Sigma Gamma Epsilon sorority. I believe in making learning fun and enjoyable for my students.
But why did the gap get so big in the first place, especially in older students?

their careers. But considering that the population ratio of men to women is fairly even, that should just put women's enrollment at the same rate as men's.
One of the possible reasons that so few men over the age of 25 go back to school is that men consistently get paid more for their work. Before the Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963, women made half the pay of men.
That is, if they had to work the same amount as men to reach the same goals.
Today, regardless of the job, women still earn an average of 30 percent less than men. There is less incentive for a man at Job A to take off from work and go after further qualifications than there is for a woman at Job A. Basically, women have to rack up the credentials for Job B to get the same pay that a man is getting for Job A
It's ironic that inequality in
the workplace is creating inverse inequality in the classroom. I experienced the result of this first hand in my honors proseminar class, where all but one student was female. The class was enjoyable, but as a women's literature class, certain discussions were definitely one-sided. I felt I could have gained more if so many of us hadn't been white 20- something females.
Whatever action is taken, it's clear that something has to be done to even out the gender gap. It creates a rushed, have-to-achieve-it-all mentality for women post-graduation, and it deprives students of a properly rounded education just as much as racial inequality does.
Many countries with similar problems have talked of Affirmative Action-like quotas for gender equality in schools and businesses. I'm not sure if quotas are the proper response or not; perhaps making gender-study classes a graduation requirement would raise awareness enough to make a difference.

POLITICS
Scientific skepticism key in good politics
Environmental issues are among the most polarizing in American politics today. Recent blows to the environmentalist's biggest tool, the theory of man-made global warming, have only exacerbated this divide.
First, there was the Climategate scandal in November. This was when e-mails between some top-level climate scientists conclusively revealed they had distorted research, plotted to destroy data and conspired to prevent publication of dissenting views. Although the mainstream media did their best to ignore the issue, the house of cards began to tumble.
Fallout has continued since Climateate. In early January, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was forced to issue a humiliating apology over inaccurate statements made in regard to global warming's effect on the Himalayan glaciers. The claims that the glaciers would disappear by 2035 were based solely on a pamphlet published by the World Wildlife Federation, not on science at all.
Even more recently, shocking revelations have led to further embarrassment for the IPCC. Its most recent report said reductions to mountain ice in the Andes, Alps and Africa were caused by global warming.
The IPCC cited two sources for this claim. One was an article published in a magazine for climbers that was based on anecdotal evidence from mountaineers in the area. The other was from a Swiss college student's undergraduate geography dissertation in which the student used quotes from interviews with mountain guides in the Alps.
These IPCC reports are not something that should be taken lightly. They are used by governments and policymakers worldwide to aid policy decisions that affect billions of people and billions of dollars.
When asked about these new reports, Roger Sedio, a contributing author of the last IPCC report said, "The IPCC is, unfortunately,

a highly political organization with most of the secretariat bordering on climate advocacy.
Walter Russell Mead of the Council on Foreign Relations wrote in The American Interest, a non-partisan review, "The global warming movement as we have known it is dead. The movement died from two causes; bad science and bad politics."
Republicans must not let this slam-dunk issue slip through their hands. The global warming theory, not so coincidentally, fit the liberal ideology to a tee. It was about taking radical action in the name of the environment. It was about government saving everything from ants to polar bears.
It created a great excuse to raise taxes and slap more regulations on corporations. It stirred class warfare while demonizing evil capitalism and the sinful individual. It was about fear of an apocalypse and the need for government to take drastic steps to save us by curbing our activities.
Perhaps most importantly, it was based on emotion rather than logic, placing empathy over reason, with no regard for the consequences.
History shows that liberals are in the habit of manufacturing climate change fears every few decades. Americans must not forget this fraud like they did the global cooling scare of the 1970s.
As the sun sets on the global warming hoax, whether conservative or liberal, we all must remember the lessons it taught us. When science combines with politics, a little skepticism will serve us well.
That's the right idea.

Students help improve transportation in Kansas
BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com
blong@kansan.com
Yilei Huang remembers when cars didn't clog the roads of his hometown in China. But that was in grade school.
Huang, a Ph.D. student from Jiujiang, China, has seen the problems caused by billions of cars on the roads, both in China and the United States.
And now Huang is learning how to fix these problems in the University's urban planning graduate program. This semester, eight graduate students will be working on
plans to improve transportation in Wichita and Lawrence. The projects are based on proposals that the two cities sent to Marcy Smalley, a lecturer in the School of Architecture, Design and
Planning. The semester-long project requires the students design improved transportation plans for their assigned city. At the end of the semester, they will hand their plans over to the transportation boards, Smalley said.
"When I started in urban planning, it was all about completing the interstate," Smallley said. "Today, transportation planning is about managing the system we have."
CREATING A BIKER-FRIENDLY LAWRENCE
"Nothing we do is isolated anymore. Everything is so connected and really kind of delicate."
Jonathan Hurst-Sneh can feel the frustration from the cars behind him as he peddles down the road on his bike and hears horns honking around him.
John Elias, a second-year graduate student from Atchison, said the transportation network had influenced the way cities had grown. Car-oriented cities face public transportation difficulties and cause environmental problems.
"The way our cities are laid out affects our vehicle miles traveled and climate change," Kassie Shelton, a second-year graduate student from Wichita, said. "Nothing we do is isolated anymore. Everything is so connected and really kind of delicate."

complete streets, making roads accessible for all users. Historically, the city invested in automobile and freight roadways, but Pappas and Mortinger are hoping to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists.
"Money for sidewalks and bike trails doesn't grow on trees; cities have to fund it," Mortinger said. "You have to find a balance between planning ideally with unlimited resources and where you put your first priorities based on the realistic funding."
Hurst-Sneh said he found the bike paths in Lawrence helpful and that connections to business areas such as 6th Street would entice more people to bike.

"In the bike lanes, 99 percent of the time no one is going to bother you," he said. "It's more comfortable riding in the lanes because it's just you and your bike."

Mortinger calculated that each student would spend about 200 hours working on the projects by the time they handed their proposals to the cities in May.
"If these studies were being done by consulting firms, it would probably be worth $75,000," Marcy Smalley, a lecturer in the School of Architecture, Design and Planning said.
The students won't leave with money in hand, but earn experience instead.
"This, more than any other coursework, makes us welcome to the real world." Jessica Mortinger, a second-year graduate student from Haysaid.
Ellas said the project gave him the opportunity to see what he likes and dislikes about planning, and Shelton said the experience would teach project management skills that would come into play eventually.
In this stage of the process, the groups are spending time gathering data from transportation agencies and sketching potential plans. The Wichita group will be visiting their site Feb. 12 to meet with the transportation board.
three of the six students focusing on how to make the Wichita public transit system run on a grid, instead of the current hub-and-spoke system. The grid design would cover the entire city, as opposed to the hub-and-spoke system, which runs all the lines through downtown.
"It is now kind of like the KU buses; they are all obviously routed through KU" Shelton said. "It would
be a really big shift for them."
In a Wichita survey from last year, only 12 percent of the population reported using public transportation, but 22 percent said they would if it was more convenient, Elias said.
Another aspect of the Wichita project will address park-and-ride lots for residents of local suburbs
and Huang is working on ways to create greater efficiency with intelligent transportation systems. As a civil engineer, he uses technology to improve transportation networks by making signs to alert drivers of congestion or the time it will take to reach downtown. The system can even time traffic lights to be green for the buses as they pass through
intersections.
"We are just starting to make a game plan of what we want to do," Shelton said. "There's a lot of work to be done, but we're just excited to get started and see where it takes us."

North Korea could rejoin U.S., China in nuclear disarmament discussion
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea - A senior U.N. envoy pressed ahead Wednesday with international efforts to get North Korea back into nuclear disarmament talks, during the world body's first high-level visit to the reclusive state in nearly six years.
In Beijing, top nuclear negotiators from North Korea and China were to meet again today, a day after discussing how to restart the six-nation nuclear talks aimed at ridding Pyongyang of its atomic weapons program in return for aid, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.
The meeting in China was believed to have focused on the North's calls for U.N. sanctions to be lifted and a peace treaty signed with Washington formally ending the Korean War before it returns to the disarmament talks, Yonhap reported, citing unidentified diplomatic sources in Beijing.
The flurry of diplomacy heightened speculation that there could be a breakthrough to jump-start the stalled talks, which include the two Koreas, the U.S.
"This is a sign that the resumption of the six-party talks is imminent," said Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.

U. N. political chief B. Lynn Pascoe was greeted Tuesday by North Korean officials at an airport on the outskirts of Pyongyang, according to footage broadcast by APTN in the North's capital.
Pascoe said the aim of his visit was to find "ways we can cooperate better," according to the footage. "So it should be quite useful we hope."
Pascoe's trip was the first to North Korea by a high-level U.N. official since 2004, according to Seoul's Foreign Ministry. The envoy is reportedly bearing a letter from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
The four-day visit came a day after North Korean leader Kim Jong Il assured visiting top Chinese Communist Party official Wang Jiarui that Pyongyang is committed to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. The next day, Kim sent his chief nuclear envoy to Beijing for talks.

COMMENTARY
March Madness best with 65 teams
PAGE 1B

BY NICOLAS ROESLER
nroesler@kansan.com
twitter.com/nroesler8
Sixty-five teams narrowed down to one champion in six rounds is the system that makes March Madness one of the best sports spectacles in this country. The NCAA Tournament is a polished machine that needs no fixing
Yet the NCAA may now opt out of its $6 billion contract with CBS and most likely get picked up by ESPN, allowing for the expansion of the tournament while deals get made, and people start asking for more money.
Seeding in a field of 96 teams would be much less of a concern for powerhouse teams going through the regular season.
The system in place creates the drama and intensity the sport needs. Americans and money-chasing NCAA officials need to realize that super-sizing everything does not make it better.
Arguments floating in peoples' heads are that the proposed expansion would benefit more of the 347 Division I basketball teams. Right now, only 18 percent of those teams make it into the tournament. The increase to 96 teams would expand it to 37 percent, which is still fairly exclusive. But the exclusivity is what intensifies every game during the regular season and makes conference tournaments that much more important.
The exclusivity of the tournament is what makes these no-name teams so entertaining. They're striving to reach something rare. Each conference game carries so much more importance. And fans appreciates every moment the world of college basketball brings.
Money is what is on everybody's mind sitting in the board rooms of the NCAA. Fans love March Madness so much that the NCAA assumes expanding the tournament would benefit the fans and the schools themselves. Financially, there is a thought that more money can be raked in for the schools and, ultimately, for the NCAA. But the money gained by the NCAA hurts the conference tournaments.
Edited by Megan Heacock
The NIT Tournament provides teams that don't make the main stage the opportunity to extend their season. The increase to 96 teams could possibly eliminate the NIT tournament and shorten the season for those teams.
The Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City would lose a number of attending fans and money because it wouldn't mean as much to earn the Big 12 Tournament title when your team might have already won the regular season title. Losing early in the conference tournaments would just mean more time to rest and get your team ready for the Big Dance.
The frustration and anger at the structural failure of other areas of American sports does not exist in college basketball. College football has the BCS debate. Pro basketball and baseball have a season that seems to last year-round, detracting value from each game.

Slugger in the spotlight
BY BEN WARD

If you walked into the baseball team's locker room at any point during the preseason, you'd probably have bumped into junior third baseman Tony Thompson. Even before the start of official practices — even if he didn't have an individual workout scheduled for the day — he was there.
Maybe he was lifting weights or getting in some extra swings in the cages between classes. In any case, he was there.
Even after posting perhaps the best offensive season in Kansas baseball history, Thompson is still committed to improving, to keeping on course with his record-setting offensive pace last season.
Thompson may embody the personality behind this group of Jayhawks; never shy to get grass and dirt stains on their uniforms, never bogged down by inflated egos or the urge to put personal success above the team.
As he kicks back for a minute in front of his locker, Thompson unwinds by turning on some music. Most of his teammates prefer country or hip-hop, but not Thompson. He's blasting heavy metal — a genre not exactly synonymous with relaxation and one that seems a bit at odds with his personality. Just then his roommate, junior outfielder Casey Lytle, walks into the room. And like many of his other teammates, Lytle lets Thompson know how he feels about his taste in music.
"We always give him a bunch of crap about it," Lytte said, "But I think he loves it. He'll just play it even louder."
---
Given Thompson's preference for ear-splitting guitar riffs and thundering drum solos, it's interesting that the only loud thing about him is his bat.
his sophomore season. Thompson smashed a number of Kansas' all-time records while leading the conference in batting average (.389). Home runs (21), and RBI (82) — making him the Big 12's first-ever triple crown winner.
No slugger in the conference had ever come close, not even current Royals players Alex Gordon and John Fields, who tore up the league during their tenures at Nebraska and Oklahoma State, respectively.
Scratch that — loud can barely describe the buzz Thompson stirred in the Big 12 last season. After a modest freshman year, the Reno, Nev., native exploded onto the national scedure during
Predictably, accolades and national media attention followed, placing Thompson very much on the radar this season. It's enough of a spotlight to inflate even the coolest of heads, but for the most part, Thompson appears as if the exposure can't faze him.
Ask him about his production, and he'll praise the guys at the top of the lineup for getting on base, or the guys behind him for protection. Or he'll attribute his success to the coaching staff for logging extra hours with him.
But every now and then, Thompson's cool outer shell cracks, and he's willing to soak up the adoration — even if for

only brief moment.
"It does motivate me a bit," Thompson said, "knowing that people actually think I can play now."
And for as much noise as Thompson makes at the plate, in all other avenues he's a pretty unassuming guy, whether introducing himself to a stranger with a quiet hello and a firm handshake, or interacting with teammates he has known for years.
"He pretty much goes about his business; there's not a lot of talk" senior second baseman Robby Price said. "He just worries about what he needs to worry about."

It's been so long since freshman guard Xavier Henry was in the spotlight, he was beaming while sitting at the podium after the Jayhawks' 80-68 victory against Texas Monday. His smile, something he's known for, has been absent the past couple weeks.
This time, though, Henry had a reason to show his teeth.
He scored 15 points for the Jayhawks, shooting 6-of-13 and adding five rebounds - all coming after an abysmal Big 12 campaign.
"I thought Xavier played the best game he's played in league play by far," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
During nonconference games, Henry was shooting 46 percent from the floor. That percentage dropped to 26 percent in Big 12 play.
Self said that Henry had been ineffective as a shooter, but that he was gaining a better understanding
His rebounding totals remain as steady as they were earlier in the season. And in conference play, Henry had at least one steal in each game except for the first game against Nebraska.
of the game and how to play defense.
He had seven steals against Baylor, which is a season high for any jayhawk this season.
"I've been playing defense lately as hard as I can," Henry said. "My offense hasn't been going, so I have to bring something to the team."
Granted, his game against Texas was his 27-point debut or his 31-point outing against La Salle, but it was a step in the right direction. Sophomore forward Marcus Morris, who finished with 18 points and eight rebounds against the Longhorns, said Henry's greatest trait was his persistence.
"I know he was missing a couple shots, but the thing about X is he keeps shooting." Morris said. "We needed him to step up."
Against what could have been the layhawks' toughest challenge of the season thus far, the most important duo was Henry and Morris, not Cole Aldrich or Sherron Collins.
All it took was time for the shooter to get going, whether it was time in practice or time waiting.
"I've been practicing hard lately so I've been making sure I've got all my sightseeing after practice," Henry said. "I knew eventually they were going to fall. They just weren't falling at that time."
"I would have never thought we could come to Texas and win and have our two best players go 5-of-23," Self said.
Collins and Aldrich combined for 22 points while Henry and Morris had 33. With his confidence back, Henry said he hoped he was back to his usual self.
"it's been a long time coming." Henry said.

Early recruiting a bad idea
MORNING BREW
W whether you think that new USC coach Lane Kiffin is a major jackass or just a
minor one (it's undoubtedly one or the other), no hater can deny his recruiting prowess. After stacking the Trojans with a top-10 incoming class on top of an already loaded roster for the upcoming season, Kiffin decided to take a longer look down the roads of the future.
I can picture it now: Kiffin quickly glances around a press conference room, chugs two Red Bulls in 10 seconds, flees any previous job commitments that don't include the letters U-S-C (this month at least), literally tramples scurrying journalists in the process, pauses his steps and brushes his play-signaling right hand through his California-tailored dirty blond hair. Then he thinks to himself: How about that 2015 class?
With guidance from national quarterback tutor Steve Clarkson, Kiffin has offered a scholarship to Wilmington, Del. quarterback prospect David Sills. The catch: Sills is in seventh grade.
Yet at nearly six feet tall and already breaking down NFL film, Sills is no brace-faced middle school chump.
BY MAX ROTHMAN
rothman@karaae.com
Clarkson, who has developed bigtime players such as Matt Barkley, Jimmy Clausen and Ben Roothlisberger, said Stills's skill-set at age 13 indicates that he might someday be better than all
Because the NCAA takes no action to this absurdly premature recruitment and Kiffin repeatedly leaves hesitation in the waste basket, Sills has verbally committed to his dream college, USC, before he has even chosen his high school.
three of the aforementioned and already established stars.
Such an unorthodox decision brings a king-sized buffet of questions to the table.
What will this kid look like at age 18? Will USC still be such a heavenly destination after Kiffin has had his way? Should schools be allowed to snoop around Pop-Warner fields and schoolyards for prospects?
Sills' commitment equates to nothing more than a pinky swear, not a signed letter of intent. But such publicity could spell a dooming fate for a kid so young
He may lose a certain work ethic while dreaming of girls and beaches in sunny southern California. He may
THE MORNING BREW
succumb to the pressures of childhood celeb status and falter under the bright lights of stardom.
Or he may pan out to be the next great USC quarterback.
Either way, Kiffin and Clarkson should have waited this one out instead of starting a possibly horrifying trend.
After Sills, why wouldn't several other big-money schools poke their noses around the jungle gym or the crib of the baby with the oversized right arm?
Skills aside, this prospect is simply too young to glorify.
Hey Sills, you thought long division was tough? Try lugging a Kiffin-wrapped Trojan sword from class to class.

THOMPSON (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
So maybe Thompson isn't the guy teammates look to for a passionate speech or a verbal kick in the pants when the Jayhawks are slumping. But he provides an equally effective boost in his own way.
"He's definitely a lead-by-example type guy, very calm and collected. He just does what he needs to do on the field," Robby Price said. "But he's definitely a leader, and a guy we look up to."
On a team full of guys willing to get their uniforms dirty, Thompson fits right in, despite his emergence as a premier talent. Perhaps, as those closest to him suggested, he may not even realize just how eye-popping his numbers are.
--sophomore year of high school, T h o m p s o n stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh, his team down a few runs with the bases loaded and two outs. The ace of the league was star-
The average student walking on campus might never recognize Thompson. Even among his teammates — a cluster of crimson and blue pullovers and sweatshirts — Thompson doesn't stand out. He's a big guy, sure, standing at 6-foot-4 with a broad frame and long arms. But he doesn't boast the hulking, muscled physique typical of many top-of-the-line sluggers.
"He might have even surprised himself last season," Tim Thompson. Thompson's father, said.
When he's up at the plate, though, he isn't as easy to glance past - a lesson that many teams across the Big 12 learned the hard way.
Though he avoids them in conversation, the moments are equally hard to ignore: the walk-off double that helped Kansas complete a sweep of No. 17 Oklahoma State; the game-tying grand slam in the ninth inning against Missouri; his two-homer, six-RBI outburst at No. 9 Oklahoma. In a season where he topped the conference in seven offensive categories, the list of such games goes on.
His mother, Terry Thompson, remembers not only his knack for clutch hits, but his cool demeanor at the plate as well. During his
Thompson says his power hitting days truly began once he hit a growth spurt in high school. But Thompson's dad, who coached him until high school, fondly recalls his son's first home run — a towering blast he hit at the age of eight.

"For that to be my first home run in high school," Thompson said with a grin, "I was pretty pumped."
"He's definitely a lead-by example type guy, very calm and collected. He just does what he needs to do on the field."
Still, not all stories end so perfectly.
Despite his record-breaking season, Thompson missed being named Big 12 Player of the Year, which went to Oklahoma senior catcher J.T. Wise. After the announcement Thompson, then
ROBBY PRICE Senior second baseman
a sophomor offered nothing but praise for Wise's season. Half a year later, that feeling hasn't changed.
But deep down, after leading the league in nearly every major offensive category, some part of Thompson has to be disappointed, right?
"It's always motivation when you see a great player like JT Wise

times last year," said Thompson, who actually walked 21 times. "I need to be a bit more selective this year and hit in good counts all the time instead of swinging at stuff out of the zone and putting myself in a hole."
"The great thing about him is he has a really great makeup. He's not an ego guy; he doesn't lose control of his emotions."
--results, opposing coaches certainly will be.
Thompson is quick to point out his flaws. He knows he lacks the speed to be a prolific base stealer, and sometimes he isn't quick enough to take the extra base. He's just as quick to point out that his defense needs some work. He made 10 errors last year, which in his mind is 10 too many.
"Defense is something you should be able to do all the time," Thompson said. "It's not something that when you can hit, you can have bad days defensively."

RITCH PRICE Coach
Listening to Thompson go on about improvement, it would be easy to think that he had a rough year at the plate as well.
That may sound odd coming from a player who hit a .389 last season, but Thompson might be spot on. Even if he isn't paying much attention to the hype brought on by last season's
Coach Ritch Price is sure of that point, noting that although Thompson may be a better player than he was a season ago, his numbers might not end up reflecting it.
"There were like three times last year where there were runners on second and third, with two outs and first base open, the opposing coaches would pitch to him and hed hit three-run homers," Price said. "And that isn't going to happen this year."
Price said pitchers would undoubtedly tiptoe around the strike zone, trying to avoid becoming another victim of a Thompson home run. Although Thompson might not get a Barry Bonds buffet of intentional walks, Price said he had faith that his third baseman would find a way to adjust.
"He's going to get pitched around a lot more, so he's going to
Baseball players are used to taking foul balls off a foot or leg. So when junior third baseman Tony Thompson fouled a pitch off his left knee in practice last week, he initially didn't make too much of it.
"I wasn't really sure if something was wrong," Thompson said.
THOMPSON INJURED BY FOUL BALL
But X-rays revealed a hairline fracture in his left kneecap, leaving Thompson sidelined for at least the first month of the season.
The good news for Kansas is that Thompson's MRI showed no ligament damage, or any additional structural damage. As a result, team physician Dr. Jeff Randall said he was confident that Thompson would be completely healthy within four to six weeks — in time for Big 12 play.
Still, there is little that Thompson can do to rehab the injury aside from rest and a whole lot of ice.
"I basically have to stay off it, and just play the waiting game until it heals up," Thompson said. "It's
a bummer that I can't do much more to heal it."
In Thompson's absence, the Jayhawks are planning to use a platoon of players to fill the hole at third base. Coach Ritch Price said he would look to sophomore James Stanfield and two redshirt freshmen, Jordan Drelling and Jake Marasco, to step in and produce. Thompson said that each one of the replacements would be able to perform at a high level.
"I think they'll do a great job," Thompson said. "We've got a number of guys that can play the position well."
Stanfield, one of the team's top options at catcher, will split time behind the plate and at third. That means more playing time for Marasco, who was initially considered a part-time option at DH. Dreiling will primarily be a defensive replacement in later innings
"We'll try to take advantage of each guy's strengths," Price said.

The Kansas women's tennis team remains optimistic for its match against UMKC Wednesday despite a tough 7-0 loss to No. 13 Notre Dame Friday.
"We played well. We all played well and we could win, but we didn't", freshman Vika Khanevskaya said. "We need to move forward and we are looking forward to the next match."
In looking past the loss to Notre
Dame, the team is remaining supportive.
"I think this match brought us closer together as a team and I think
with that we can do a lot of great stuff coming up." freshman Sara Larevac said.
This will be the third time this season the Jayhawks face the Kangaroos. The first was the KU Tournament in

No.7 Hoyas play balanced game, pick off Providence

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Chris Wright scored 21 points and Greg Monroe had 12 points and 12 assists to lead No.7 Georgetown to a 79-70 victory over Providence Tuesday.
Wright scored 16 points in the half as the Hoyas (18-5, 8-5) erased an eight-point deficit.
Jamine Peterson scored 23 points and Bilal Dixon had 16 rebounds for Providence (12-12, 4-8).
Providence led 47-40 with 15 minutes left before Georgetown scored 14 of the next 15 points, getting a three-point play from Wright to tie it and then took the lead with 12 minutes left.
Julian Vaughn scored 19 points for the Hovas.
At No. 7, Georgetown is the worst team Providence will play in the next two weeks. Coming up are No. 4 Villanova, No. 5 West Virginia and No. 3 Syracuse. The Friars, who had already beaten No.

Rams running back won't face charges
LAS VEGAS — St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson won't face criminal charges over allegations that he beat a girlfriend who was nine months pregnant with the couple's child at his Las Vegas home last year, a police spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Investigators found insufficient evidence that Jackson, 26, attacked Supriya Harris of Mableton, Ga., in March 2009, Las Vegas police Officer Barbara Morgan said.
"Our investigation is complete," said Morgan, a department spokeswoman. "I don't think the time passage was a factor here. We contacted the victim, the accused and witnesses. There's insufficient evidence to go forward with the case."
Morgan said the case would be closed, and that records relating to the investigation would not immediately be released.

Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins grabs the ball in front of Alabama's Senario Hillman during the second half of Kentucky's 66-55 victory Tuesday. Cousins had 16 points and 13 rebounds for his Kentucky fresh-record 128 double-double.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Wall had 22 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double, and fellow freshman DeMarc Cousins got his seventh in a row, as No. 3 Kentucky outmuscled Alabama 66-55 Tuesday.
Five of Cousins' rebounds were on the offensive end, while all of Wall's career-high 10 were defense.
With 16 points and 13 rebounds, Cousins extended his UK freshman record with 15 double-doubles. The last Kentucky player to get seven in a row was Jim Andrews, who had a team-record 10 straight in 1973.
With the victory, Kentucky (23-1, 8-1) remained in first place in the Southeastern Conference East Division, one game ahead of Vanderbilt, which beat Tennessee on Tuesday.
Tony Mitchell had 13 points for Alabama (13-11, 3-7).
Cousins got his 10th and 11th points on a one-handed heave in traffic midway through the second half that gave the Wildcats their biggest lead at 46-32.
He got his 10th rebound the next trip down the court, then scored again off Eric Bledsoe's missed 3.
Alabama chipped away at the lead and cut it to 51-45 with 8 minutes left on a jumper by laMychal Green. The Tide matched that sixpoint deficit with under a minute left on Anthony Brock's 3 pointer but got no closer as two free throws by Wall and a dunk by Patrick Patterson helped seal the victory for the Wildcats.
Cousins, who grew up in Mobile, Ala., has acknowledged a sometimes-rocky high school career there, and was heavily recruited by former Alabama coach Mark Gottfried. Instead, he opted to sign the first letter of intent under coach John Calipari at Kentucky.
The 6-foot-11, 260-pound center claimed Monday that the game against the Crimson Tide was "just another game," although he had assigned it far more weight in past statements to the media.
Although Wall lit up the scoreboard at the end, the game started ugly for UK's other freshman pheno- mon. While he came in ranked second in the country in assists, he only managed two in this game — both in the second half. By then, he had racked up six turnovers — many of them sloppy ones.
He also gave the Wildcats a scoring boost, especially in the first half when they needed it most. Other than a wide-open 3 that gave
Kentucky its first lead at 15-13, the rest of Wall's first-half points came under tight pressure from the stingy Alabama defense.
First, Wall faked a pass, drove to the basket and drew Charvez Davis' first foul.
A few minutes later came another three-point play on a similar drive, this one sending Davis to the bench with his third foul.
With Alabama up 11-4 early,
Kentucky scored 13 of the next 15 points. The Wildcats took the lead for good with 5:45 before halftime on Patrick Patterson's dunk off a steal by Bledsoe. Patterson added a 3-pointer seconds before halftime — just Kentucky's second in 11 first-half attempts — to give Kentucky a 31-24 lead.
Alabama's defense was tough,
but Kentucky's was better.

EAST LANSING, Mich. E'Twaun Moore scored a season-high 25 points and Jaujan Johnson added 19, lifting No. 6 Purdue to a 76-64 victory against No. 10 Michigan State Tuesday.
The Boilermakers (20-3, 8-3) have won six straight, while the Spartans (19-6, 9-3) have lost three in a row to lose their commanding lead in the Big Ten.
Michigan State trailed by 18 points early in the second half, but pulled within three with 4 and a half minutes left.
The Boilermakers held off the rally to snap a nine-game skid at the Breslin Center and reach the 20-win mark for the fourth straight season.
Michigan State's Chris Allen,
he scored 21 points, made a three-pointer to make it 65-62.
Purdue closed the game with an 11-2 run, making the score lopsided as it was for much of the night.
The loss dropped Michigan State into a first-place tie with Illinois, which won at Wisconsin Tuesday.
Purdue's win puts it in a second-place tie with No. 13 Ohio State.
The Spartans' 12-point loss at home was their biggest since Illinois beat them 81-68 four years ago, and snapped their 18-game winning streak since losing to Penn State more than a year ago.
Purdue, coming off its first victory at Indiana in more than a decade, won at Michigan State for the first time since 1998.

Jayhawks eager for shot at upset
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
twitter.com/maxrothman
Freshman forward Carolyn Davis battles to maintain possession of the ball against Kansas State guard Mariah White. Davis' defense will be crucial against senior forward Kelsey Griffin and Nebraska.
KANSAS 2
Nebraska, the only undefeated team in women's basketball, comes to Allen Fieldhouse tonight at 7. Maybe it's youthful ignorance, but Kansas likes its chances.
"We're gonna beat em," freshman forward Carolyn Davis said.
"I actually want to play them undefeated," freshman guard Monica Engelman said. "It will make the game even more exciting."
The Jayhawks are using the third-ranked Cornhuskers' prowess as motivation rather than hiding from it.
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
Engelman and other eager Jayhawks beware: The Cornhuskers aren't escaping with victories. They're whooping the competition. Trailing only the aforementioned Connecticut
Nebraska is second in the nation in scoring differential. The Cornhuskers win by an average of 23.6 points per game.
For Kansas to stand a chance, it must find a way to relinquish far less than its season average of 17 turnovers per game.
NO. 3 NEBRASKA VS KANSAS
"They don't beat themselves," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
"We want them to come in undefeated because we want to be the team to say that we beat them."
WHEN: 7 p.m.
WHERE: Allen Fieldhouse
Senior forward Kelsey Griffin leads an experienced and balanced Nebraska lineup, which features 10 players who average at least a minutes per game. Nine of those
10 are upperclassmen.
The Danielle McCray-less Jayhawks don't have that kind of tenure. Freshmen Davis and Engelman led Kansas to Sunday's 70-60 victory against Kansas State. The youngsters have some skills, but when the clock is ticking down experience is immeasurable. Where will the Jayhawks turn when trailing by one point and holding the ball with 10 sec
CAROLYN DAVIS Freshman forward
onds to go?
The seasoned Cornhuskers don't have that problem.
"In crunch time it's going to Kelsey Griffin and she's going to take it and
make a big, shot," Henrickson said.
To prevent this scenario, the Jayhaws must play to the same strengths that led them to victory against the Wildcats. In improving to 4-4 in the Big 12, Kansas attacked the basket inside.
"We've been looking at more options in different offensive sets in getting the ball to the low posts," junior forward Nicollette Smith said.
Davis is the first choice in these post-oriented sets. She's most effective with constant looks early
in the shot clock.
Since moving into the starting lineup Jan. 17 in a 72-59 victory against Missouri, Davis has averaged 12.5 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.
Riding a hot streak like that will get anyone chomping at
the bit to get a crack at a team such as the Cornhuskers.
"We want them to come in undefeated," Davis said, "because we want to be the team to say that we beat them."
Edited by Taylor Bern
Key to the game
Post play
With the injury to senior guard Danielle McCray the Jayhawks have already shown an increased tendency to get the ball inside to their post players. Kansas may experience some difficulty doing that again as No. 3 Nebraska boasts one of the premier forwards in the country in senior Kelsey Griffin. Although Griffin poses somewhat of a defensive challenge to the Jayhawks, the true threat lies in her offensive capabilities. Freshman forward Carolyn Davis had a career-high four blocks against Kansas State and she may need a similar performance to help control Griffin.
Keep an eye on
Monica Engelman
Freshman guard Monica Engelman has some very big shoes to fill for the rest of the season, taking over McCray's spot on the roster. In Engelman's first start Sunday she played the best game of her short career. She led the Jayhawks with a team-high 16 points and five assists. Engelman will need another outstanding game if the Jayhawks hope to upset the third-ranked Cornhuskers.

Opponent to watch
Kelsey Griffin
Griffin is the guiding force behind Nebraska's stellar season. Through 21 victories Griffin nearly averages a double-double, recording 19.4 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. Griffin took a redshirt last season to rehab her torn ACL. In her last game against Kansas in the 2008 Big 12 Tournament, Griffin torched the Jayhawk defense for 21 points.

Oklahoma City gets hockey next season
OKLAHOMA CITY — Pro hockey will return to Oklahoma City starting next season — and at a higher level.
Representatives of Prodigal Hockey LLC and the NHL's Edmonton Oilers said Tuesday that Oklahoma City would be
the home of the Oilers' American Hockey League franchise, which has been dormant since 2005. The Oilers will let their affiliation agreement with an AHL team in Springfield, Mass., expire at the end of this season.
The AHL unanimously approved the plan on Monday.
The announcement culminated more than a year and a half of negotiations between Prodigal Hockey and the Oilers.The new
team, which will play at the downtown Cox Convention Center, does not yet have a nickname. Prodigal Hockey President Bob Funk Jr. said the team's fans will have input in that area.
"We want to maintain our ties to Oklahoma City in terms of the hockey history," Funk said."This has been a great hockey town since the 1960s and we want to maintain that connection."

Illinois victory ends Wisconsin's 18-game home winning streak
This one may have been better, because the Illini are now in prime position to challenge the Spartans for the regular-season conference crown. The schedule isn't easy for Illinois, which plays four more ranked teams in its final six games, including two games with No. 13 Ohio State and a rematch with the Badgers in the regular-season finale.
MADISON, Wis. — Demetri McCamey scored 27 points and Mike Tisdale added 19 on 8-of-11 shooting to lead Illinois to a 63-56 upset against No. 11 Wisconsin on Tuesday night, snapping the Badgers' 51-0 home record against unranked Big Ten opponents under coach Bo Ryan.
It was a shock for Wisconsin (18-6, 8-4), which got 15 points from Jason Bohannon, including 13 in the second half, and 12 from Trevon Hughes.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Illini (17-8, 9-3) became the first team to beat Ryan three times at the Kohl Center after wins in 2005 and 2006 and ended Wisconsin's 18-game home winning streak. More important, Illinois won its fifth straight game after a 78-73 victory against then-No. 5 Michigan State on Saturday that featured fans rushing the court.
The Badgers built a 22-11 lead while only Tisdale could find the basket, hitting every field goal for the Illini until just over 6 minutes to play in the first half.
That's when McCamey took over.
McCamey, the Big Ten player of the week for his performances against Iowa and the Spartans, scored 15 of Illinois' final 20 points of the half and the Illini hit 10 consecutive shots straddling halftime to erase the double-digit deficit.
The Badgers missed nine consecutive shots down the stretch, including a layup by Taylor with just over 2 minutes to play and 3s by Keaton Nankivil, Taylor and Bohannon.
McCamey hit one free throw with 58 seconds left and Richardson hit two more to seal it.

Kansas bench could make the difference
SCOTT TOLAND
stoland@kansan.com
The Wave editor
Two years ago, Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich came off the bench to help the Jayhawks win the National Championship. Each of them had their shining moments during the NCAA Tournament, as Aldrich outplayed National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough and Collins delivered the pass to Mario Chalmers to set up his game-tying three-pointer. Both are now the leaders of this year's team, but both still know how important it is to have players who are ready to come off of the bench and contribute.
People often underestimate the value of a deep bench that is filled with quality players. In 2003, the Jayhawks had perhaps the best starting five in the country, but their lack of depth eventually caught up to them when just six or seven players had to carry the load. The 2008 team was different, as Kansas had reserves such as Sasha Kaun, Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich who could all contribute to the Kansas effort.
As the Jayhawks enter the home stretch of the season, their bench will be one of the big keys to their success. As Bill Self rotates four or five players into the game, Kansas should be able to wear out some teams and should not have to worry too much about foul trouble. Here's a closer look at the players who could make an impact in March.
The sophomore guard has not been playing his best this season, but he has the ability to break out for a big game against anyone. Taylor would likely be starting every game for some teams, but he is still
Tyshawn Taylor
the Jayhawks' sixth or seventh man. He already has significant big-game experience after starting for Kansas during its Sweet 16 run last season. Taylor's poise and experience should not be underestimated
Tyrel Reed
Reed hustles as much as anyone on the Kansas team. He does not always score many points, but he is always prepared to put up the outside shot. At home against Missouri, Reed connected on all four of his three-point attempts and finished with 14 points. If Reed can keep providing the Jayhawks with another outside threat off the bench, he should be able to help take some of the pressure off Collins.
Morris still makes his fair share of mistakes, but he has shown flashes of being a solid contributor to this year's team. He is capable of scoring in double figures, but Morris will help Kansas more if he does all of the little things well. Rebounding, blocking shots
Markieff Morris
and playing good post defense are the things that Morris can do to complement his scoring.
Thomas Robinson
Robinson has the potential to be a great player for the Jayhawks. He hasn't had the chance to play a lot of minutes so far this season behind Aldrich and the Morris twins, but he is capable of coming up huge for Kansas in the postseason. His defense will be important as the Jayhawks face teams that are strong inside. If Aldrich or Marcus Morris is in foul trouble, Robinson might get the chance to step in and shut down another team's interior threat.
Jeff Withey
Withey still has not become a regular in Self's rotation, but Self has to feel pretty good being able to bring in another 7-footer to back up Aldrich. The freshman played well at Iowa State, and his wingspan could bother some bigger players. He may not see the court much down the stretch, but he will be ready to play.
The deeper the Jayhawks get in the NCAA Tournament, the more likely their opponents will have a great starting five. And when that happens, I feel confident that the Kansas bench will make the difference.

The Wave talked with Little before practice last week.Here's what he had to say about life off the court.
By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Mario Little is a red-shirt guard from Chicago who played in 23 games for the Jayhawks last year, including three starts. Recruited as Rivals.com's No.1 JUCO player from Chipola College in Florida, a stress fracture and later a broken hand prevented him from being more involved with the Jayhawks.
Known as the one of the funniest and smack-talking players on the team, Little opted for red-shirting this season to make sure he graduates.
After a recent grueling practice, coach Bill Self said players were all on each other's backs and "tackling" each other. When asked who was the best tackler, Self said it was Little.
CT: Players and coaches talk a lot about you in practice. They say you're the funniest player, best trash talker and best tackler. Which one do you have more pride in?
ML: Tackle? Like in football? I don't tackle anybody.
CT: Coach Self said you missed your calling and should be playing football.
ML: I probably did; I don't know. I take pride in trying to make practice better.
Just try to get guys energized and make practice fun and aggressive.
CT: Do you feel that's your role since you can't be on the court?
ML: I'd probably do that anyway. It's easier to do it when you're on the outside looking in, but it's hard to change it. It's kind of how I am. But I'm not playing, so when I'm practicing I feel like it's my game. I just enjoy practice when I don't get to play in the game.
CT: Being the only other senior on the team besides Sherron, do you ever get to tell him what to do?
ML: I don't know if I'm scared to say anything to everybody. We don't really have too many disagreements. But I have before, but not in a bad way like "Shut up." A lot of people stand up to Sherron.
CT: Looking at the team this year and knowing you will get to play with some of them eventually, who are you most excited to play with?
ML: I'm looking forward to seeing Thomas (Robinson), the more experienced Thomas next year. Marcus is going to be the main part of the team next year. I'm looking forward to all the guys, Tyshawn, Keef.
CT: You're known for being musically talented on the piano. What do you play?
CT: Who do you think has the most untapped potential on the roster?
ML: Whatever song I make up.
ML I think once Thomas gets the offense and defense down, just knowing everything, I'm telling you he'll be good.
CT: You write your own?
ML: Yes. I'm a composer.
CT: You laughed when the media guides came out this year with you on the cover. Since you'll be coming back as a senior next year and be on the cover again, do you take pride in that at all?
ML: I'll tell my kids probably that I was on the media guide a couple years in a row. I'm big time for that.

No one is playing like they want to win the Pac-10 this season. The Golden Bears have already lost three league games, but they are still in first place in the Pac-10. The Huskies have struggled in conference play, but they have a chance to make a big statement on the road.
Kentucky's John Wall drives past Vanderbilt's Jermaine Beal during the second half of their game in January. The Wildcats defeated the Commodores 85-72 behind John Wall's 13 points and nine assists.

Freshman point guard John Wall has been spectacular but Kentucky has shown signs of vulnerability on several occasions this season. The Wildcats will get a tough test from the Volunteers, who have played through a lot of adversity this season. Tennessee still has a shot at
the SEC Championship, but it is really Kentucky's to lose. Coach John Calipari knows that the Volunteers cannot be taken lightly and he will have his team ready to play. Tennessee will keep it close, but Kentucky has too much young talent and should pull out the victory.
THE WAVES 2010 NCAA TOURNAMENT PROJECTIONS
The 2010 NCAA Tournament is just a few weeks away, and it's never too early to start thinking about which teams will earn this year's top seeds. The Wave editor Scott Toland projects the top four seeds in each regional.
EAST
MIDWEST
1. Syracuse 1. Kansas
2. Michigan State 2. West Virginia
3. Gonzaga 3. Purdue
4. Tennessee 4. Ohio State
WEST SOUTH
1. Villanova 1. Kentucky
2. Georgetown 2. Duke
3. Kansas State 3. Texas
4. BYU 4. Wisconsin
After a big victory against Villanova last weekend, the Georgetown Hoyas are making a real push for a No. 2 seed. The Big East will likely earn two No. 1 seeds, while Kansas and Kentucky are both in great shape to earn the top spots in the Midwest and South regionals. Texas has been falling fast, but the Longhorns should be able to recover in time to secure at least a No. 3 seed for the tournament.

Kansas K-State 70 60

With McCray out, freshmen step up for win
The Jayhawks were in a hurry to prove that they could move on without their leader.
Kansas defeated Kansas State 70-60 in its first game without injured senior guard Danielle McCray. With the victory, Kansas jumped to 14-7 and 4-4 in the Big 12, extending the Jayhawks' winning streak to three games while also snapping a five-game losing streak against the Wildcats.
McCray, an Olathe native, tore the ACL in her left knee during Thursday's practice, ending her career at Kansas.
"Today's game was as much emotional adversity as it was physical adversity," Kansas State coach Deb Patterson said. "Emotion translated to execution."
As McCray sat between her coaches, knee braced, furiously scribbling observations in a notepad, freshman guard Monica Engelman was placed on center stage as the newest piece of the starting lineup. In her first collegiate start, Engelman, San Antonio, Texas, native, finished with a career-high 16 points while dishing out five assists.
Freshman forward Carolyn Davis was once again a force in the paint, using her size to her advantage on both ends of the court. She earned her second career double-double, tallying 14 points and 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes of play.
Despite Engelman and Davis' top-notch play, Sunday's victory was made possible by team-wide contributions. Rallying off of McCray's injury, the Jayhawks shot 60 percent in the second half and played passionately in a triumph that they sorely needed.

The women's basketball team defeats Kans
By Jayson Jenks
jienks@kansan.com
At center court after the game on Sunday, coach Bonnie Henrickson and her team huddled, raised their arms in the air and then waited.
Moments after defeating rival Kansas State 70-60 in the annual Pink Zone game to support the fight against breast cancer,
Henrickson wanted to make sure her two hobbled — and therefore slower — players joined the circle of Jayhawks.
Without Angel Goodrich and Danielle McCray, two former starters who both suf fered season-ending ACL injuries in the past month, Kansas rallied with its most passionate outing of the season.

full 40 minutes, finishing with
who have passed with any type of cancer, we had our own fight," senior guard Sade Morris said. "Unfortunately we've been hit with two ACL terrors and it has been a struggle. We had to show everybody that we still have fight."
In front of 7,580 vocal fans, the remaining Jayhawks did just that and improved to 4-4 in the Big 12.
That Kansas defeated Kansas State at home isn't completely surprising. After all the Wildcats have been equally inconsistent this season, entering Sunday 3-4 in the Big 12.
But what was surprising — and what answered many of the pregame questions surrounding the Jayhawks — was the aggressiveness displayed by Kansas from start to finish.
In building a 10-point lead without their biggest contributor, the Jayhawks showed, at least for one game, that other players are capable replacements.
"We felt like we needed to prove something." Morris said. "Just because our best player is out doesn't mean that's the end of it for us."
But harder to quantify is McCray's tendency to carry the Jayhawks in key situations. At the end of last season, with Kansas winning nine of its final 12 games, McCray played her best basketball of the season.
McCray opened the season as the Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year. She averaged 19.8 points per game this season and is currently fourth on Kansas' all-time scoring list.
Yet that seemed to be the consensus after word spread of McCray's seasonending injury Thursday.
Combined with the loss of Goodrich Kansas' leading distributor on offense, questions surrounding the Jayhawks'
ability to score arose.
"It's been an emotional few days," freshman forward Carolyn Davis said. "it's been hard dealing with the loss of Danielle. But it's brought us closer as a team because we know we have to step up. Every single person."
In the victory against K-State, Davis committed just one turnover and teamed with freshman Monica Engelman to score 30 points and grab 14 rebounds.
At the beginning of the season, the duo rarely played while adjusting to the college game. Now, two months later, they're key pieces of the immediate future.
"I was heartbroken about the Danielle situation," Engelman said. "I still am. And today I was a little bit nervous. I knew that I had to step up."
In the absence of McCray, Kansas turned in its most efficient performance of the season.
The Jayhawks shot 56 percent. They committed only 11 turnovers. And they continuously attacked the Wildcats, drawing fouls and finding open players.
K-State cut Kansas' lead to five with seven minutes left, but the Jayhawks rallied. That theme of rallying — of coming together to move on — dominated talk after the game.
The Jayhawks declared this their most inspired performance of the season, and really that's hard to argue with.
"When they attacked us, we attacked right back," Engelman said. "We didn't get passive."
Thing is, the Wildcats described the game in the same manner.
"We were really just outplayed today in all the small areas of the game," K-State coach Deb Patterson said. "We were outplayed in production and we were definitely outplayed in aggressiveness."

The Aggies are coming off a huge week and have a chance to shake up the conference race with a victory against the Jayhawks on Monday. Former Jayhawk Mark Turgeon is at the helm for the Aggies, and he's got them hot at the right time. If they can knock off the Jayhawks, they'll still
need some help to get a shot at the regular season crown, but it would be a huge step in the right direction. College Station is not an easy place to play,and the Aggies will try to keep their perfect home conference record alive when the Jayhawks come to town.

Texas A&M could have easily lost its way after Derrick Roland, the second-leading scorer and best defender on the team, suffered a horrific broken leg 11 games ago. Sloan, Roland's best friend and the Agies' top scorer, has kept the ship righted despite that loss, though. He averaged 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists while leading Texas A&M to a perfect week.

Udoh's team went just 1-1 this week, but it wasn't because of a lack of production from the junior transfer from Michigan. He tallied 19 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in an 84-63 whooping of Iowa State, and added another 19 points three days later in a 78-71 road loss to Texas A&M. Since league play began, Udoh is second in the conference in blocks with 3.13 per game, trailing only Kansas' Cole Aldrich.

The Aggies, after starting the conference season 3-3, have gone 3-0 since to claim second place behind the Jayhawks. After knocking off Missouri on the road and Baylor at home, Texas A&M, which now sits just outside the top 25 in both polls, of a sudden looks like a team that could make some noise come March. Almost out of nowhere, the Big Monday matchup between Kansas and the Aggies is a huge game for the conference.
Quick Hitters
- In Oklahoma's upset of Texas, Sooner guard Cade Davis, who averages less than 10 points and four rebounds per game, finished with 20 and 10 for his second career double-double.
- No.1 Kansas hasn't been dominant since taking over the top ranking for the second time this year. It went to overtime with Colorado and trailed in the second half to Nebraska.
- Nebraska silenced Kansas big man Cole Aldrich for the second time this year. He finished with eight points and six rebounds Wednesday, and combined for 14 points and 15 boards on the season against the Huskers.
- Missouri had its 32-game home winning streak broken by the Aggies of Texas A&M, who boast a 16-game home win streak of their own.

By Laken Litman Daily Texan — Saturday, Feb. 6
To coach Rick Barnes, getting playing time is simple just ask freshman Jordan Hamilton.
In No. 10 Texas' loss to Baylor last weekend, Hamilton played two minutes on the court, going 0-for-3 in shooting. But in Monday night's 12-point win at Oklahoma State, Hamilton played 19 minutes and led the Longhorns with 27 points, going 11-for-16 on field goals and 5 for 8 from the 3-point line.
"If a guy does his job and misses his shot, I can assure you he's not coming out of the game," Barnes said. "But if I feel like he's not in tune with what we need to be doing as a team, he's gotta come out of the game."
In the Baylor game, Barnes felt that Hamilton didn't understand his role on the court. But something clicked two days later, and Hamilton pulled the Longhorns out of an 11-point deficit up to a victory.
"Jordan took better shots, but he also took some tough shots, and if they didn't go
in, maybe he wouldn't have had the chance to stay out there," Barnes said. "But I think he tried consciously to be more aware of what was going on in the game."
Barnes told Hamilton that his best play of the night was when he drove to the baseline and kicked it out to freshman Avery Bradley for the 3-pointer.
"It's not about making good shots but just making the right play," Barnes said. "You can't think you have to score to stay in a game. That was the best play Jordan made all night."
Bradley is living proof of that mantra. He's missed a lot of opportunities but doesn't let failed attempts affect the rest of his game.
"I tell the guys all the time that they won't make all of their shots and that that's OK," Barnes said. "But I also tell them all the time not to let your offense dictate what kind of impact you can have in a game."
The Longhorns are in the stretch of their season that shows they are human. Barnes explained that every year, teams get in a funk and you just have to hope it doesn't come in March.
IOWA STATE CYCLONES
Iowa State falls short in second half
By Chris Cuellar Iowa State Daily — Sunday, Feb. 7
iowa State's (13-10, 2-6) men's basketball team hosted a rowdy crowd and a top-ten team in Hilton Coliseum for the third time this season on Saturday, and fell for the third time.
N
No. 10 Kansas State (19-4, 6-3) overcame a halftime deficit and 30.6-percent shooting in the opening 20 minutes to defeat the Cyclones in a Big 12 conference game, 79-75. The Wildcats opened the second half on a 17-2 run, and the Cyclones weren't able to sniff the lead for the remainder of the game.
"I felt we had a game plan and we were executing it,but there were a couple here and there minutes that we didn't execute them, and I think that was the reason for the result at the end;"forward Craig Brackins said.
Brackins led the Cyclones in scoring for the third consecutive game, tallying 29 points on 11-for-22 shooting, but was outshined by the Wildcats' guard Denis Clemente, who put in 30 points of his own for the winning side. The 6-foot-1 senior from
Puerto Rico hit timely 3-pointers over and over for coach Frank Martin's team, finishing a proficient 6-for-8 from behind the arc.
"He had big shots against us here last year, in a game that was very similar to this one," said coach Greg McDermott. "He's a senior, and that's what you want your seniors to do, step up when the team needs them. He's a load, and every time we made a mistake he made us pay."
The Cyclones yet again missed scoring from their guard positions, with starting backcourts Diante Garrett and Scott Christopherson, and their backups, Dominique Buckley and Chris Colvin combining for just 21 points. McDermott insinuated earlier in the week that he would consider making a change to the lineup with Christopherson's mononucleosis and ineffective play, but after the game McDermott was disappointed with lapses in focus from his under-staffed team.
The Cyclones loss drops them to a spot above last place in the Big 12, and extends their losing streak to Kansas State to eight games.

MISSOURITIGERS
Aggies end Missouri's 32-game streak
By Sean Leahy
The Maneater — Wednesday, Feb. 3 www.themaneater.com
When Missouri senior guard J.T. Tiller released a potential game-tying three-point attempt with less than 10 seconds to go against Texas A&M, more than the game hung in the balance.
As the Mizzou Arena crowd held its collective breath in anticipation, the Tigers' 32-game home win streak was also at stake, a mark that had earned second place on the Missouri all-time list.
When the shot hit the rim and ended up in the hands of a Texas A&M defender, a major portion of the Missouri roster experienced something for the first time in its career: a home loss.
Of the 13 players on the Tigers' roster, only Tiller and junior forward Justin Safford were playing for Missouri when it lost to Oklahoma State on Feb. 26, 2008. They were also there for the home finale on March 5, 2008 when Missouri took down Iowa State in
two overtimes to start its streak.
"We haven't lost here in a long time, so it's a pretty new feeling to most of the guys on the team," Tiller said.
The loss halted Missouri's streak two games before it could reach the all-time mark of 34-straight, set from 1988-90.
Before it fell at the hands of the Aggies, Missouri's home-court win streak provided plenty of blowout wins. Of the 32 wins, 27 were by double-digits, and Missouri's average margin of victory was 21.7 points.
But the wins weren't all easy. Missouri beat three ranked teams during its run at home: No. 4 Oklahoma and No.16 Kansas in 2009 and No.10 Kansas State this season. The outcome of the Kansas game wasn't decided until the final minute when then-junior guard Zaire Taylor hit the game-winning shot.
For a player who kept the streak alive last year,seeing another team celebrate on his home court didn't lessen the blow of Wednesday's loss.
"As a competitor, it does bother you to see guys with a smile after the game," Taylor said.

KANSAS STATE WILDCATS
Clemente keeps focus on season's final games
By Justin Nutter Kansas State Collegian Monday, Feb. 8
AMES, Iowa — If seven games are all Denis Clemente has left, then he plans to make every one of them count.
That was Clemente's vow after Saturday's 79-75 win at Iowa State — a game in which he tallied a game-high 30 points to lead the No.10 Wildcats to their eighth straight win against the Cyclones.
"I've just got to be focused," Clemente said. "I'll just be thinking sometimes, [these games] are my last seven. I've got to give everything I got, and that's what I intend to do."
If that is really Clemente's plan, he's off to a good start. The Puerto Rico native has racked up 53 points and 11 three-pointers in his last two games. His 30 points on Saturday were the most he's scored since tying a Big 12 record with 44 at Texas last year.
But according to head coach Frank Martin, all that matters to the senior guard is getting into the win column, whether that means scoring 30 points or three.
"Denis wants to win," Martin said. "He doesn't care about anything else. There's a reason our team plays with a certain spirit since he started wearing the uniform."
Iowa State went to star forward Craig Brackins early and often and refused to fold despite falling behind. Brackins dominated the paint from the get-go, scoring 14 of the Cyclones' first 19 points.
After falling behind 0-4, a three-pointer from Jacob Pullen ignited a 13-4 run that put the Wildcats in front, but the battle had just begun.
"[Brackins] is quick and he's a great shooter," said K-State forward Curtis Kelly. "You've really got to stay on him and pressure him a lot, If he gets one sight of the rim, it's going in."
OKLAHOMA SOONERS
Sooners stay unbeaten at home with upset win
By Clark Foy
Oklahoma Daily — Monday, Feb. 8
The Sooners upset the No.9 Texas Longhorns 80-71 at Lloyd Noble Center on Saturday, keeping its unbeaten home record intact.
The Sooners built up an 18-point lead by halftime, and were able to hold on long enough to secure the win.
While the Longhorns did close the deficit at times throughout the game, the Sooners never trailed on their way to victory.
Oklahoma led by as much as 19 in the second half, but Texas would not go down easy, as they chipped the deficit down to five points late in the game.
"I'm really proud of our guys," head coach Jeff Capel said. "I thought we executed and did a great job defensively early in the game."
Capel said the home fans helped his
team with their enthusiasm and support.
"Our crowd was absolutely phenomenal." Capel said.
Freshman guard Tommy Mason-Griffin and junior guard Cade Davis had 16 points in the first half, making up for sophomore guard Willie Warren, who struggled while playing through an ankle injury.
"Davis and Mason-Griffin were tremendous, especially in the first half," Capel said.
Mason-Griffin continued to lead the Sooners on offense as he has in the last several games, finishing with 24 points, five boards and four assists in 39 minutes.
Capel said Mason-Griffin's aggressive style of play is what contributes to his offensive effectiveness.
"He's good, that's just what it comes down to," Capel said. "With the way he shoots the ball and the way he can attack and how strong he is, he should be a guy that gets fouled a lot."

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS
Jayhawks' big plays sink Cornhuskers
By Mike Schaefer Daily Nebraskan — Sunday, Feb. 7
Doc Sadler warned reporters on Thursday, before Nebraska's showdown with the No.1 Jayhawks, about Kansas guard Sherron Collins's sense of the moment.
Sadler saw it happen last month in Nebraska's 84-72 loss to the Jayhawks. He recalled how Collins came down the court, Jayhawks down 12-1, and calmly buried a three-pointer. Energized, Kansas battled back and eventually overtook the Cornhuskers.
On Saturday, trailing 43-39 in the second half, Collins knocked down another big threepointer, spurring his team to overwhelm the Huskers and give Kansas a 75-64 win.
Sadler even called a timeout before the play to warn his team what to expect. It didn't matter.
"I told the guys Collins would come back and try to get them going on the next two or three plays," Sadler said. "We lost him on the ball side and he stepped up and hit a three. Great players do."
Collins made his presence known to the visiting Huskers before the game even started. He and Nebraska guard Sek Henry engaged in a little pregame dialogue, leading to both players being restrained during warmups. Collins' jawing continued throughout the game, taunting Henry after several baskets.
The pregame intimidation didn't work as Nebraska was able to hang with Kansas throughout the first half. Kansas coach Bill Self took notice of the Huskers' inspired play.
"Nebraska played really, really well." Self said. "Doc had them ready."
The Huskers took advantage of nine Jayhawk turnovers to the tune of 10 points and found themselves down by only four at halftime.
Sadler said the difference in the game was the Huskers' inability to take advantage of those situations again in the second half.

"The key plays that had to be made in the game, Kansas made them," Sadler said. "That's why they're where they're at, and that's why we're where we're at."

TEXAS A&M AGGIES
Davis' big turnaround leads A&M past Bears
By TD Durham
The Battalion — Monday, Feb. 8
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon said the number of students who camped out in front of Reed Arena before the Aggies' game against the No. 20 Baylor Bears sure got their money's worth Saturday.
A&M senior forward Bryan Davis opened the game for the Aggies with a string of dropped passes and turnovers that held A&M from scoring a field goal until the 16:01 mark.
The Aggies, now 17-6 overall and 6-3 in Big 12 conference play, defeated the Bears 78-71 in a wire-tight game.
"Bryan was about as bad as you can get in the first ten minutes." Turgeon said. "But then he was about as good as you can get in the rest of the game."
Davis turned his game around and
finished with a team-high 22 points, eight of which came out of his nine free throw attempts. Davis and the Aggies finished shooting a season-high 85 percent from the charity stripe.
"We've put in a lot of work in the past week shooting them," Davis said. "Guys are coming up here at night and shooting, or before practice, after practice, even during practice. That's just one reason we were successful from the line tonight."
In the second half, A&M took its first lead of the game almost immediately after a strange foul on senior Baylor center Josh Lomers.
The Bears led the entire first half and at one point were up by a 12-point margin.

After a play that left A&M's Davis on the ground, Lomers tripped over him and clipped his head with his foot. Davis was shaken up, but was able to drain two technical free throws and finish the game.
Roberson earns a spot in Raiders' history books
By Mike Graham Daily Toreador — Monday, Feb. 8
LUBBOCK, Texas — John Roberson scored a season-high 28 points against Oklahoma State, but another statistic he recorded Saturday will be the one people remember.
The guard surpassed Stan Bonewitz, who played for the Red Raiders from 1995 to 1999, as the school's best assist man with 436 career assists, including three assists against the Cowboys. Bonewitz had 435 career assists in a Tech uniform.
To make it a little bit sweeter, Tech reversed its recent fortunes with an 81-74 win against the Cowboys on Saturday in the United Spirit Arena.
"It feels good going into history," Roberson said. "I didn't even know, I think someone gave me a hint that I might break
it this game. But it feels good just to know your going to be in the books going down in history."
The milestones don't end with Roberson.
The win gave Tech its 15th of the year — surpassing the 2008-2009 Red Raiders who had 14 wins — with eight more games to be played in the regular season.
Tech also tied its total Big 12 Conference victories from a season ago at three wins.
"We just think we're a better team than last year," said Tech forward Mike Singleary, who chipped in 22 points of his own. "We look at what we did last year, and it was kind of a disappointment. Knowing that we've won more games in total than last year, and knowing that we've tied how many games we won in the Big 12 last year halfway through gives us a lot of motivation to keep it going."

Baylor's Laceduari Dunn tries to make a shot around Iowa State defender Marquis Gilstrap in the second half of their game last Wednesday in Waco, Texas. Dunn scored 21 points in the Bears' 84-63 victory.
By Stephen Hawkins Associated Press — Wednesday, Feb. 3
WACO, Texas — LaceDarius Dunn scored 21 points, including four three-pointers, Ekpe Udoh had his 11th double-double of the season and No. 20 Baylor backed up its big win on the road with an 84-63 victory against Iowa State on Wednesday night.
Udoh had 19 points, 19 rebounds and five blocked shots while Tweety Carter scored 14 points for the Bears, who were coming off an overtime victory Saturday at then-No. 6 Texas. They had lost to Kansas State before that in their last home game to end a school-record 11-game winning streak at the Ferrell Center.
Anthony Jones hit a three-pointer to start a 7-0 run for Baylor and stretch its lead to 10 after Iowa State got a free throw in the opening seconds after halftime. There had been six ties and six lead changes in the first half, but none after that.
Dunn made a three-pointer on the first shot of the game, and his last came with 6:15 remaining with an extremely frustrated Iowa
State coach Greg McDermott fuming on the sideline.
Things really turned to fun for Baylor after that, with slam dunks from three different players on consecutive possessions.
Dunn had the first slam on an ally-oop pass from Udoh, who got the next slam before Quincy Ack, who finished with 10 points, threw one down. Walton was open at the basket the next time down, but settled for a layup instead.
The final margin was the largest of the game and Baylor had only eight turnovers.
Udoh should have had another assist, but instead was given a missed shot when his pass rolled off the rim — and was grabbed by Acy for a slam. That ended a wild sequence when Carter missed a three-pointer and the ball bounced to the other end of the court. Dunn outran several Cyclones and saved it from going out of bounds to Walton.
It is only the fourth time in school history the Bears have won at least 17 games in their first 21. The others were all NCAA tournament teams — 1946, 1948 and 2008.

OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS
Cowboys lose to Texas after a slow second half
By Jeff Latzke Associated Press — Monday, Feb. 1
STILLWATER, Okla. — Freshman swinger Jordan Hamilton scored a career-high 27 points and No. 9 Texas finally slowed down James Anderson in the second half to beat Oklahoma State 72-60 on Monday night.
The Longhorns had lost three of their previous four games after reaching No.1 in the nation for the first time in school history. But they got back on track Monday, winning in a building that's been a house of horrors for Texas teams with top-10 rankings.
Texas had lost the last three times it brought a top-10 ranking into GallagherIba Arena. This time, the Longhorns fell behind by 11 in the first half before Hamilton got going.
He scored all but two of his points in the final 22 minutes and put the game away with a three-pointer from the right wing with 2:19 remaining that gave Texas a 13-point lead.
Anderson had 28 points to lead Oklahoma State, but only four in the second half. Obi Muonelo added 12 points and Matt Pilgrim had 11 points and 10 rebounds in his first start since the second game of the season.
The Cowboys played without starting point guard Ray Penn for the fourth straight game due to a knee injury and cleaned up their game after averaging 19.7 turnovers without him.
OSU gave it away only 11 times, but Texas was even better with a season-low five turnovers while shooting 59 percent in the second half (16 for 27). Oklahoma State had a 16-game home winning streak snapped.

COLORADO BUFFALOES
Defensive effort keeps Tigers ahead of Buffaloes
Associated Press Saturday, Feb. 6
BOULDER, Colo. — Missouri made sure it didn't have another second-half meltdown. Instead, the Tigers buried Colorado with a second-half surge.
Marcus Denmon scored a career-high 22 points, Kim English had 21 points and Missouri routed the Buffaloes 84-66 on Saturday.
The Tigers had their 32-game home win streak snapped Wednesday when they blew an 11-point lead in a 77-74 loss to Texas A&M. Thanks to a strong defense and solid outside shooting Saturday, there was no such collapse against the Buffaloes.
"We always try to be a defensive-minded team first," Denmons said. "When you've got the defensive rhythm going, it allows your offense to be that much better."
The Tigers' defense held Colorado to seven field goals and forced nine turnovers in the first half as they took a 42-39 lead into the break.
Against the Aggies, they faltered after halftime, but they only got better against Colorado. Ahead 43-33, they went on a 14-4 run aided by consecutive three-pointers from Denmon and English that pushed the lead to 57-37 with 14:40 to go.
"I thought it was one of our more complete games," Missouri coach Mike Anderson said. "I thought we were blue-collar. We looked like the team of last year. We established our identity on defense. I thought we took the fight to Colorado."
Missouri led by 23 before Colorado, coming off a 72-66 overtime loss to No.1 Kansas on Wednesday, cut it to 66-53 with 6:18 left, but the lead quickly swelled to 20.
"Teams are going to go on runs," English said. "We just had to stop the bleeding."

The march to 2,000 victories
As the Jayhawks approach the historic mark, The Wave takes a closer look at how they got this far

Editor's Note: The Wave continues its look at the Jayhawks' road to 2,000 victories. This week, The Wave tracks the team's history from the 1952 National Championship team through the 1988 National Championship team.
First NCAA National Championship and Olympic Gold
In 1952, Kansas was led again by Dr. Allen. The team featured future University of North Carolina coach Dean Smith along with Charlie Hoag and Clyde Lovelletle. On its way to the championship, Kansas beat Texas Christian University, Saint Louis University and Santa Clara University. In the final, Kansas defeated St. John's 80-63 for its first NCAA National Championship, and Allen's third national championship as a coach.
After the season, Allen was named coach of the year and invited to be an assistant coach for the 1952 Olympic team accompanied by seven of his own players. The team won the gold after defeating team Russia in Helsinki, Finland.
A New Home
On March 1, 1955, Kansas christened the brand new Allen Fieldhouse in a game against the Kansas State Wildcats. Even though Kansas State center Roger Craft scored the first basket in the new fieldhouse, the Jayhawks went on to win their first game in their new home with a final score of 77-67. The team was led in scoring by Gene Elstun who finished with 21 points. He was followed by Lew Johnson with 20 points and Bill Brainard with 16 points. More than 17, 228 fans, including former players and the entire Kansas Legislature, watched the Jayhawks' victory.
1,000th Victory
The Jayhawks captured this 64-48 victory against Oklahoma State University on Feb. 4, 1969 without KU great Jo Jo White. White's replacements, sophomore Pierre Russell, and senior Phil Harmon combined for 26 points. Sophomore Dave Robisch took over and scored 23 points, while all three of the Cowboys' big men fouled out.
This game kept the Jayhawks a half-game behind Colorado for the conference title.
Lawrence Journal World writer, Chuck Woodling, pointed out in an article after the game that, "More important than winning 1,000 games and staying with Colorado, however, was the fact that the Jayhawks proved they could win without White."
After a season plagued with injuries, disciplinary issues, and two players transferring away, Kansas coach Larry Brown turned to the football team midseason and picked up Clint Normore. The basketball team had 11

losses heading into the tournament. Kansas faced Xavier, Murray State, Vanderbilt, Kansas State and Duke in its first five games.
"They had great players, individually they had one of the great players in all of college basketball, when you have that and when you have your teammates making plays that 50 percent of the time they don't play that well, but that night they played, some of them beyond their ability," said Bud Stallworth, who played for Kanas in the 1970s. "At some point in time you catch that lightning in a bottle and that is what happened."
Then the Jayhawks were matched against Big 8 rival — Oklahoma — in the
50th NCAA Championship game. The game was tied 50-50 after a rough first half.
"The first half was probably the most intense 20 minutes of fast court basketball for all the marbles I had ever seen," Stallworth said.
The Jayhawks fought hard the second half and won 83-79 to avenge the earlier season loss to the Oklahoma Sooners. After that season, Danny Manning was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player and the Naismith National Player of the Year.
"It's not that the 1988 team won the championship, it is we won another championship" Stallworth said.

Iowa State @ Kansas Kansas - Craig Brackins can play well against anyone, but the Jayhawks just have too many weapons for the Cyclones to contain.
Washington @ Stanford Washington - The Huskies blew out the Cardinal the last time they played, and Washington should be able to get another victory on the road.
Cornell @ Princeton Cornell - The Big Red are having a great season and they should be focused enough to avoid a loss to Princeton on the road.
North Carolina State @ North Carolina North Carolina - It doesn't look like the Tar Heels will make the NCAA Tournament, but they have enough talent to get on a roll at any time.
Cincinnati @ Connecticut Connecticut - The Huskies have been struggling without coach Jim Calhoun, but they should be able to defeat the Bearcats at home.
Missouri @ Baylor Baylor - Both teams like to play a fast-paced style, but the Bears should win because they have more offensive weapons than the Tigers.
Duke @ North Carolina Duke - The records get thrown out the window in this rivalry game, but the Blue Devils clearly have the better team this season.
Tennessee @ Kentucky Kentucky - The Volunteers will show up ready to play, but John Wall's ability to score and set up his teammates will make all the difference.
Louisville @ Syracuse Syracuse - No one is playing better than Syracuse, and sharp-shooting guard Andy Rautins will be a difference-maker against the Cardinals.
St. Peter's @ Loyola Loyola - The Greyhounds lost to the St. Peter's Peacocks the last time they played, but they should bounce back for a victory at home.

towed between bike and bike, mallet and mallet and body and body. However, none of these can cross. For example, a player cannot whack another player with a mallet.
WHY THEY PLAY: According to Malakai Edison, a 2008 KU graduate, "it's created by people who love playing, plus trash-talking is allowed and supported." Edison is also one of three regional representatives for the South Central Region of the North American Hard Court Bike Polo League.
WHEN AND WHERE:The local bike polo league, called Scary Larry Kansas Bike Polo, plays at Veterans Park on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 to 10 p.m.
STUDENT SENATE
WHO: Though the league was created by bicycling enthusiasts, anyone is welcome. "I think it's mostly about getting together with a bunch of friends. We don't discriminate based on whether you're good or bad," said Chris Klee, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., and a player in the local league. They also don't discriminate based on bikes. "A few of us ride six-speed bikes, but the most strategic choice is whatever bike you're most comfortable on," Klee said.
INJURY FACTOR: Although the rules don't permit mallet-on-body action, it happens. "I've taken a mallet to the head," Klee said. "I'm mainly known as the person who crashes and takes other people out." It's not just bodies that are taking abuse. "In my last game, I broke the front fork of my bike and the front wheel came completely off." Edison said. But he said he didn't think injuries should scare off prospective players. "There are people who don't play with much contact, then there are people like me that everyone comes after because I'm so aggressive," Edison said. "But if someone new wanted to try it out, they would have a small to zero chance of getting injured."

Freeze on student fees hurts groups
Watch a KUJH-TV video of the Scary Larry Kansas Bike Polo team practicing at kansan.com
BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com
The Board of Regents' decision to put a hold on increasing student fees has forced Student Senate to make difficult budget choices.
The fixed budget requires Senate to make cuts in certain areas to fulfill needs in others, said Matthew Shaw, Senate communications director. The renewable energy and sustainability fee was one of the areas Student Senate decreased. The fee went from $1.25 to 25 cents in the past year.
"At fee reviews, there is a limited amount of money to be disbursed, and everyone wants more than actually exists." Shaw said.
Only student fees finance the Student Environmental Advisory Board. The $1 decrease took the group's annual funds from $59,500 in the 2008-09 school year to $11,400 in the 2009-10 school year. The 2008-09 budget allowed the group to finance large projects such as the ReRev machines that produce electricity at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, which cost $15,900, and a year's worth of wind energy credits to offset fossil fuel used to power for Anschutz Library; costing $28,000.
Members of Senate didn't favor the wind credit investment that was made by the Student Environmental Advisory Board, Shaw said. The funds are primarily used for capital investment — services for the next 10 to 20 years. The wind energy credits did not fit that category, but at that time it was seen as a good starting point and worthwhile investment.
The Student Environmental Advisory Board is developing a new point system to judge proposals and allocate its funds accordingly. The amounts requested and numbers of proposals will increase if the funding increases, said Jason

COOL CLASSES The Dark Side of Satire
ballen@kansan.com
BY BRENDAN ALLEN
Death. Abuse. Violence. These topics are considered depressing, perverse and uncomfortable by some. Even fewer might consider them to be humorous.
Pope uses this initial activity to set the tone for the discussions to come.
"I think that when you approach it in that way, they know it's going to be dark," she said. "There are some serious topics treated in a very funny way."
However, in the English 203 class, "The Dark Side of Satire," being amused by these subjects isn't only encouraged — it's often an integrated component of the course material. In the class, lecturer Nicole Pope pushes students to question the boundaries of what themes are socially acceptable to discuss, or even further, to laugh at.
This is Pope's sixth semester teaching the class, and she finds ways to keep the material fresh.
"On the first day of class I say, 'OK, let's brainstorm topics that are taboo. Topics that you wouldn't normally discuss in polite company," Pope said. "And we come up with various unmentioned— everything from sexual abuse to masturbation. I tell them, 'Look, at some point in this semester, this topic may come up in class.'"
Professor Nicole Pope discusses important points of a reading assigned to her class Tuesday morning. Pope teaches "The Dark Side of Satine," a course in the English department,
Class Number - English 203
Offered - One class, both fall and spring semesters
On any day, students may find themselves watching clips from cartoons such as "The Venture Bros" or "South Park" as well as reading selections that include Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis."
"She uses a lot of mixed media," Asmussen said, "I think it's pretty kick ass."
Laura Asmussen, a sophomore from Agar, S. D., finds the combination of contemporary and classic examples compelling.

"She keeps the lectures really fresh," Conrad said. "Everyone has a chance to insert their opinions."
It's precisely this give-and-take method between classmates that Conrad enjoys participating in.
"It gives you a chance to have a lot of involvement," Conrad said. "Reacting off what other people throw out there. Working off of each other is a good way to learn."
Through these discussions, Pope hopes to touch on ground that a straight lecture might not cover.
"I like it when people say something goes too far," Pope said. "We talk about the writer's intentions, what they are trying to say."
But the conversations aren't only for the students' benefit. Pope often finds herself exposed to new content as well.
"They do a lot of field work for me in finding real examples," Pope said. "I show
them works they may have never seen before"
This exploration of topics keeps both Pope and her students yearning for more.
"It's an honor to teach this class," she said. "I consistently get a great group of students. They're always so open-minded and eager to share."
Pope's students share her sentiments about the class.
"I would definitely say to take it," Conrad said of the course. "It's a great learning experience and a fun overall class. There's never a dull moment."

Greg Semendinger This photo taken Sept. 11, 2001, by the New York City Police Department was obtained by ABC News, which claims to have acquired it under the Freedom of Information Act, shows smoke and ash engulfing the area around the World Trade Center in New York.

ABC releases new photos of Sept. 11
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A trove of aerial photographs of the collapsing World Trade Center was widely released this week, offering a rare and chilling view from the heavens of the burning twin towers and the apocalyptic shroud of smoke and dust that settled over the city.
The images were taken from a police helicopter — the only photographers allowed in the airspace near the skyscrapers on Sept. 11,2001. They were obtained by ABC after it filed a Freedom of Information Act request last year with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the federal agency that investigated the collapse.
The chief curator of the planned Sept. 11 museum pronounced the pictures "a phenomenal body of work."
The photos are "absolutely core to understanding the visual phenomena of what was happening," said Jan Ramirez of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. They are "some of the most exceptional images in the world, I think, of this event."
In some of the pictures, the tops of the nearby Woolworth Building and other skyscrapers can just be seen above the enormous cloud of debris, gray against a clear blue sky. Gray clouds billow through the streets of the financial district and shroud the 16 acres where the towers had stood just moments before.
Buildings can hardly be seen at all in one image — just dust clouds hanging over the Hudson River at the southern tip of Manhattan.
One close-up shows orange
flames and black smoke pouring from the upper floors of the north tower, the first hit by a hijacked plane.
"I almost didn't realize what I was seeing that day," Greg Semendinger, the former New York Police Department detective who took the 12 pictures posted on ABC's site, told The Associated Press. "Looking at it now it's amazing I took those pictures. The images are ... stunning."
The attack and the collapse of the World Trade Center were well documented on live TV and amateur video. But more than eight years after the nation's deadliest terror attack, the images still had the power to shock and disturb. They were an instant sensation on the Internet.
"Some survivors may find these pictures too painful to look at," said Richard Zimber, president of the WTC Survivors Network. "But they are an important part of the historical record."
ABC said NIST gave the network 2,779 pictures on nine CDs. The network posted 12 pictures on its Web site Monday. ABC initially said some of the photographs posted had never been seen before, but later backed off that assertion.
Semendinger was first in the air in a search for survivors on the rooftop. He said he and his pilot watched the second plane hit the south tower from the helicopter.
"We didn't find one single person. It was surreal," he said. "There was no sound. No sound whatsoever, but the noise of the radio and the helicopter. I just kept taking pictures."

Last Thursday and Friday, the group used iPod Touches from the Office of Student Success to survey students in the Kansas Union.

"The most encouraging
response was that about 47 percent of the 276 students surveyed responded that they would be willing to pay $3 to $5 per semester for the required campus renewable energy and sustainability fee," said Kimberly Hernandez, a Student Environmental Advisory Board member. "It was really inspiring to talk to so many students who cared about the environment and had an interest in sustainability at KU"
The group plans to do another survey in the spring in front of Wescoe Hall to get more input from more students.

Rise in food bank needs on campuses
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
DETROIT — Michigan State University student Nichole Wickens never imagined standing in line to get staples from a food pantry.
But that's what the 21-year-old is doing at MSU's Olin Health
the student-run food bank has seen a 25 percent jump in need from the 2007-2008 school year.

dried pasta, a boat of bakery bread,
applesauce and a box of shredded
wheat cereal. At retail, it's only
worth about $20 — but it makes a
big difference to Wickens.
She has a part-time job on campus as a night receptionist, and gets some financial aid for tuition.
"My student account was in stocks, and stocks were hit hard," Wickens said. "And I'm the oldest of five."
"But I'm paying for a car, phone, computer, rent and everything else," she said, "so coming here really helps. It's a resource to students."
Director Kristin Moretto said the MSU food bank's budget is about $40,000.
DENNIS MARTELL
MSU food bank faculty adviser
College campuses aren't places where you expect to find a food bank. But students are turning to college-sponsored food banks for help because of ever-increasing tuition costs, the loss of financial aid programs like state scholarships and financial support from home being cut-off or diminished because parents have lost jobs.
faculty adviser
The food bank purchases items in bulk from the Mid-Michigan Food Bank, which is operated by the American Red Cross. Retailers sometimes donate perishable items, such as milk or baked goods.
"This perception that students, because they're going to college, have money isn't accurate and never was," said Dennis Martell, the MSU health education services coordinator and the food bank's
"This is a grass-roots student-run organization," Moretti said. "The food isn't being taken away from anyone else who needs it."

Students need only
prove that they're enrolled at MSU and haven't purchased a university food plan.
HELP IS AVAILABLE
While other large Michigan schools don't operate food banks many are reporting a surge in students asking for more financial aid.
The University of Michigan has experienced an increase in students showing demonstrated financial need, said school spokeswoman Kelly Cumingham.
"We occasionally see a student who is in need of emergency funding. In those cases, we provide an emergency grant to cover immediate needs like food, money to move into an apartment, purchase medication, etc." Cunningham said.

"If the student comes forward, we can help them. We always reserve funds for emergencies, and we can disburse emergency funds as quickly as the same day the student asks for help," Cunningham said. "Students can apply online and receive up to $500 the next morning."

Lunch lady hit with food, gets revenge
WATERBURY, Conn. — A Connecticut school cafeteria worker and a 13-year-old girl face criminal charges after police said a food fight turned into a real fight. Waterbury police said the fifth-grader at Gilmartin Elementary School threw vegetables at 55-year-old lunch aide Rosa Robles last Thursday, and Robles responded by throwing vegetables in the girl's face. Police said a fight broke out when the girl punched Robles in the face. Authorities said both suffered cut lips, and the girl also had scratches on her face.
School officials said Robles is on paid leave and the girl has been suspended.
Robles posted $500 bail after being charged with assault and other crimes. Police didn't release the girl's name or the charges she faces because of her age. A telephone listing for Robles could not immediately be found.

Record snow causes mass closings, cancelled flights

In Arlington, Va., streets that had been packed with people playing in the snow over the weekend were also empty.
Up to 16 inches fell in parts of western Maryland and Reagan National Airport in Washington had nearly 9 inches by midday, just short of the amount needed to make it the snowiest winter on record in D.C. That was on top of totals up to 3 feet in some places from the weekend storm. And it was still snowing.
"For your safety, do not drive." Gov. Ed Rendell said. "You will risk your life and, potentially, the lives of others if you get stuck on highways or any road."

Non-Christians get 'wiggle room'
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Presbyterian Church USA's statement of faith says God through Jesus Christ delivers followers "from death to life eternal."
But one in three members of the nation's largest Presbyterian denomination seem to believe there's some wiggle room for non-Christians to get into heaven, according to a recent poll.

Dying pelicans mystify researchers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pelican
ASSOCIATED PRESS
California brown pelicans are seen inside a cage before being released into the wild by members and volunteers with the International Bird Rescue Research Center at the beach in San Pedro, Calif., Wednesday. Researchers haven't determined why the pelicans are dying in large numbers.
LOS ANGELES — California brown pelicans have recently been dying in large numbers for reasons wildlife officials don't yet fully understand.
Organizations like the International Bird Rescue Research Center are maxed out, with no more room and little money left to help, spokesman Paul Kelway said.
There are usually about 400 pelicans among the more than 2,000 birds the San Pedro center takes in every year, but it has received more than 300 pelicans in the last three weeks. About 100 sick pelicans from Santa Barbara were sent to the IBRRC's Northern California center, and a quarter of all the pelicans received at the two centers in the last three weeks have died, Kelway said.
"Many of them were severely emaciated and hypothermic, and we couldn't get to them in time," Kelway said.
The Southern California center released 14 pelicans Wednesday afternoon to make room for more of the ailing birds.
The Coast Guard reported a group of sick birds in the Los Angeles Harbor on Tuesday. Rescue workers found around 30 dead birds and rounded up 30 more that were sick and wet.
Biologists point to several reasons why more birds need help.
"This is an El Nino year. The weather is topsy turvy. Storms are forcing the fish deeper into the
ocean, or the fish are in different places than they normally would be. The pelicans are not finding food and they are starving." Kelway explained.
"Something is also contaminating their feathers and stopping them from being weatherproof," he said.
pelicans stayed in Oregon this year instead of migrating south to breeding grounds.
It could be a natural pelican dieoff, Kelway said, but biologists don't know yet.
About 1,000 California brown
The research center hopes to release several more pelicans over the next week. Warmer temperatures should help, he said.
It is costing the two centers about $3,000 a day to care for the pelicans, which eat around 1,000 pounds of fish each day.
The rescues will have to do some serious fundraising,pushing their "Adopt a Pelican" and "Pelican Partner" programs,Kelway said.

Everyone deserves the right to feel comfortable
LGBT ISSUES
It's a pretty uncomfortable feeling to know someone is looking at you, especially when you don't know who the person is or why he or she is staring.
Often, we are stared at because of our outfits or hairstyles. But when the staring is because of the person we are with, it becomes more than uncomfortable; it's malicious.
On Wednesday nights, Wilde's Chateau has Pride Night. It's a night for the adult LGBT community and their allies to enjoy an atmosphere where two people of any sex can dance together, flirt and be a couple without the fear of being stared at or harassed.
The secure atmosphere of Pride Night is dampened with unwanted attention, usually in the form of leering heterosexual men.
It should be known that anyone and everyone is welcome to Pride Night.
However, these men are clearly not there to enjoy the good times.
Instead, they take an obscene pleasure in ogling women who are there specifically to be with other women.
For these men, it's like a live pornographic film, except for the gratuitive nudity and the fact that none of us women are remotely interested in turning on a man.
What's worse is that the creeping does not end with simply staring.

Queerly Speaking
This makes it impossible to not rub against them as we go between the bar and the dance floor.
Some of the men stand at the entranceways to the dance floor.
BY LAUREN BORNSTEIN
Not long ago, I was going out with a group of gal pals, all of them heterosexual.
We were having a great time rocking out to the DJ's tunes when we noticed some guys leaning on a wall nearby, eyeing us and giving us sleazy grills.
They wanted to go to a place where they wouldn't have to deal with men hitting on them, so we decided on Pride Night.
As we continued to dance, a few of them circled our group and moved in, dancing inappropriately and even touching us in sexually harassing ways.
Needless to say, we all felt violated and left. My fury only increased when, as my friends and I were leaving, these same guys surrounded an obviously intoxicated
This is just another reminder of the way many heterosexual men view lesbian sexuality; as if for their entertainment.
I beg you, heterosexual men, to consider the perspective of women—both homosexual and heterosexual. How you would feel if someone came up and grabbed you by the ass? What would you feel if someone stared at you in a sexual manner while you made out with the girl you were dating? What if someone asked you and your girlfriend for a threesome because of your sexual orientation?
We all deserve to go out and have a great time without the threat of harassment, sexual orientation aside.
Pride Night is a night where everyone can enjoy themselves. It's intended to offer everyone a sense of security to be who they are with whoever they want.
But why stop there? Every night should offer such security. Every person should be able to enjoy themselves, free of creeping hands and eyes.

NEWS AND INFORMATION
NICHOLAS SAMBALUK
It's 'Times' for a change
The New York Times to charge for online service in 2011
We will soon be paying the piper for more than a decade of free.
The Times, much like many publications across the country, has been chipping away at its collective stored fat, downsizing and laying off as the transition away from print continues.
Unlike when governments and corporations try to reach into the collective pocket of consumers, it's next to impossible to call this greed-based.
The print news industry as a whole is malnourished. When a human being is deprived of food, it begins feasting on the fat and energy it has stored up, but that can only last so long.
The New York Times announced last week it will begin charging to view its online content in 2011.
The Kaiser Family Foundation's study "Generation M2: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-year-olds" found that during a typical day people in this age range consume an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day across mediums such as TV, computers, video games, music, print and cell phones.
Consumption increased for all these categories except for, you guessed it, print.
This is the new generation of news consumers, and they're
For any media organization to succeed it has to whet the collective appetite and the print product is looking as appetizing to consumers as Brussels sprouts.
insatiable.
Unlike the "too big to fail banks," there's no stimulus package for this cornerstone of information.
The details of the plan released on the Times' Media Decoder blog and in subsequent articles were reasonable and it addressed some of the main concerns of the casual reader.
Otherwise, you'll have to pay for access after a certain amount of page visits.
The Times is still heavily leveraging the print product, but letting its web presence be compromised by something that people are gravitating away from makes very little sense.
Under the plan, if you already have a home subscription, you get free website access.
With unemployment hovering close to 10 percent and the economy in the proverbial toilet, forcing people to pay for something they are conditioned to know as free is no enviable task.
"We can't get this halfway right or three-quarters of the way right. We have to get this really, really right," said Times Company chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. in the paper's article announcing the change.
Times Select, a previous payment model, was abandoned "because search was becoming a bigger factor and advertising was more robust," according to a recent post by executive editors on the Media Decoder blog.
Other interminglings of Internet and payment plans have been attempted and abandoned.
Sulzberger Jr.'s deliberate approach with this new plan isn't in the spirit of the Internet and it's where the plan falls apart.
I applaud Sulzberger Jr. standing up for the financial well being of an American institution, but the timing is all wrong.
Do the executives at the New York Times honestly believe with rapidly changing technology, especially online, that the Internet ecosystem they are planning for now will be the same in a year?

HUMOR
Translating the mystery behind non-KU apparel
Wearing KU clothing has always been a popular way to show school spirit. But there's a phenomenon on campus that bucks this trend. Amidst the sea of "hawkaholic" and "hill yes" T-shirts, a few non-conformists wear the colors of different institutions.
For various reasons, some KU students like wearing other schools' clothing on campus. It's important not to judge this minority, though. Instead, it's necessary to understand the message that each different type of apparel sends.
First, there are the occasional community college T-shirts. Students wearing clothing from a junior college could be sending several different messages. They could be announcing, "I worked my way up from humble beginnings and earned my way into a respected public university." Or they could just be trying to say, "I got lost on the way to community college. Please help"
On the opposite end of the spectrum from these modest community-college-T-shirt-donning students are the KU students who wear apparel from Ivy League schools. It can be startling to see a student wearing such a respected university logo in Math 101, but there are explanations for this rarity.
For example, it's possible that these KU students were, indeed, brilliant enough to attend a prestigious college at one time. Unfortunately, they missed Spangles too much and returned back to the comfort of Kansas. These students still wear their Yale hoodies to announce that, if it wasn't for their tragic weaknesses for half-price-burger Monday, they would be on their way to brilliant law careers.
The much more likely explanation, however, is that these students went down to Victoria's Secret and bought sweatpants with the logo of one of the country's most respected academic institutions slapped on the butt.
This relatively new trend of exploiting top universities' trademarks to sell clothing to anyone who wants to give off the "cute but valedictorian" look makes me question my generation more than anything else. And that includes "Jersev Shore."
Stuff KU Students Like
BY JOEL PETTERSON
Finally, some KU students occasionally wear apparel from universities with names that appear made-up. Don't be confused. This is actually a student who has studied abroad and would like to ensure that everyone around them is aware of this.
Any encounter with a student wearing clothing from an unpronounceable university is a chance to play "Guess the Study Abroad Country" with this person. To play, simply begin insulting every country you can think of loud enough for them to hear until they interject after hearing the home of their foreign university.
So, though school spirit is important, don't forget to accept those with different preferences in college apparel.
They will inevitably defend the country and admonish you for being ignorant of its "beautiful scenery and wonderful people." This means you have won "Guess the Study Abroad Country" and you can award yourself 10 points. Earn five bonus points if they use an expression from that country, like "bloody" or "voila." A total of 500 points during your college career will earn the title of "Guess the Study Abroad Country Champion" or "Xenophobic Jerk."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Walking around campus over the past couple of weeks. I've
seen multiple advertisements for the upcoming Ashr Roth concert at Liberty Hall hosted by SUA. The irony of this selection just hit me today.
With the recent deaths due to alcohol in KU's community and the following actions by the administration and community to strengthen alcohol awareness and policies, I find it kind of hypocritical for SUA to put on a concert with an artist who's main song, "I Love College," describes the exact stereotype KU has tried
I have no problem with Asher Roth writing about drinking, sex and parties, but I wanted to point out the irony of the situation. Also, many would agree that the selection is a tremendous step down from socially conscious artists, such as Common, who have come to KU in the past.

University runs clinical trial of breakthrough anti-ovarian cancer drug
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
The University of Kansas Cancer Center has begun running a Phase I clinical trial of the anti-ovarian cancer drug Nanotax. Nanotax is a breakthrough drug because, unlike other anti-cancer drugs, it is water-soluble.
Charles Decedeue, Valentino Stella, Bala Subramaniam and Roger Raewski worked in the KU Higuchi Biosciences Center developing Nanotax. Last year the American Cancer Society estimated that there were just under 22,000 new cases of ovarian cancer and 14,600 deaths caused by it in the United States.
The clinical trial at the University
comes 13 years after Nanotax was first conceived. It is one of three active clinical trials for ovarian cancer treatment in Kansas, and it's the only one still recruiting patients. The trial is classified as Phase I because it tests the drug in a small group.
Decedee said he wasn't allowed to give out numbers because the clinical trial was not finalized, but he offered an optimistic analysis.
"The only thing I can tell you so far is that we have not seen any adverse effects to the drug or the procedure," Decedue said. "That's as good as it gets in a Phase I trial."
Nanotax is the brainchild of Stella and Subramaniam, who came up with an idea while contemplating a way to improve the delivery of oncology drugs that are not water-soluble. This creates a problem because a drug has to dissolve in the bloodstream to be effective at what Decedue called "the site of action," or where a drug needs to work to alleviate whatever aliment a person might have.
"This is a problem with, particularly, anti-cancer drugs, pretty broadly across the spectrum of anti-cancer drugs." Decedue said. "They tend to have very, very, very poor water solubility."
One cancer drug that suffers from a distinct lack of water-solubility is paclitaxel, which is sold as Taxol. Stella and Subramaniam wanted to break down paclitaxel into particles just hundreds
of nanometers wide. To put that into perspective, a human hair is around 100 micrometers in diameter. There are 1,000 nanometers in one micrometer.
"That idea has been around for a while," Stella said. "That was sort of a combination of effort from a number of people, Roger Rajewski, Bala Subramaniam and myself."
The team used carbon dioxide as a solvent to make nanoparticles of the Taxol. They filed a patient for the process they discovered more than a decade ago in 1997, and if production of Nanotax goes mainstream, it will break down all paclitaxel into nanoparticles here in Lawrence.
Once they were able to break paclitaxel down to the nanoparticle
form they needed, they worked with Kathy Roby, a research associate professor of anatomy and cell biology, who did two studies with mice infected with ovarian cancer.
Roby injected Taxol and Nanotax into the tails of mice with the cancer and injected both directly into the space that contains the ovaries and other organs. The average lifespan of the mice, once infected, is about 80 days, Decedue said.
When injected into the tails, Nanotax performed just as well as the already established drug Taxol, prolonging life in the infected mice by 20 to 25 days. When injected into the space near the ovaries, however, Nanotax prolonged life by 90 to 140 days, while Taxol stayed in the 20-to-25 day range.
"This was the exciting piece of data that told us we had something that might be worth pursuing," Decedue said. "And this was around the time that the company really took off."
That was around 2000, and for the next decade, the trio of doctors went into the long process of getting Federal Drug Administration approval to begin a Phase I clinical trial, which is the first step of testing the drug on people.
"No matter how good your animal testing is, humans are different than any other animal." Decedue said. "While it is indeed a science, there is an awful lot of art to it. We're the experts at that."

Reporter called to court about source
WICHITA — A Kansas judge found a subpoenaed newspaper reporter in contempt and fined her $1,000 a day after she failed to show up to testify Wednesday about a jailhouse interview and
her sources in a murder investigation.
District Judge Daniel Love ordered Dodge City Daily Globe reporter Claire O'Brien to appear Friday at a rescheduled inquisition.
At the heart of the subpoena is an Oct. 13 Daily Globe story based on O'Brien's jailhouse interview with Sam Bonilla, who
has been charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder.
"I feel the choice is a personal and private one and has to be driven by my own ethics in the end," she said Wednesday.

Congressman dies at 76
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Charlie Wilson, the fun-loving Texas congressman whose backroom dealmaking funneled millions of dollars in weapons to Afghanistan, allowing the country's underdog mujahedeen rebels to beat back the mighty Soviet Red Army, died Wednesday. He was 76
Wilson died at Memorial Medical Center-Lufkin after having difficulty breathing after attending a meeting in the eastern Texas town where he lived, said hospital spokeswoman Yana Ogletree. Wilson was pronounced dead on arrival, and the preliminary cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest, she said.
Wilson represented Texas' 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House from 1973 to 1996 and was known in Washington as "Good Time Charlie" for his reputation as a hard-drinking womanizer. He once called former congresswoman Pat Schroeder "Babycakes," and tried to take a beauty queen with him on a government trip to Afghanistan.
"People like me didn't fulfill our responsibilities once the war was over," Wilson said in a September 2001 interview with The Associated Press. "We allowed this vacuum to occur in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which enraged a lot of people. That was as much my fault as it was a lot of others."
Wilson, a Democrat, was considered both a progressive and a defense hawk. While his efforts to arm the mujahedeen in the 1980s were a success — spurring a victory that helped speed the downfall of the Soviet Union — he was unable to keep the money flowing after the Soviets left. Afghanistan plunged into chaos, creating an opening eventually filled by the Taliban, which harbored al-Qaida terrorists.
After the Sept. 11 attacks — carried out by al-Qaida terrorists trained in Afghanistan — the U.S. ended up invading the country it had once helped liberate.
His efforts to help the Afghan rebels — as well as his partying ways — were portrayed in the movie and book "Charlie Wilson's War." In an interview with The
Associated Press after the book was published in 2003, he said he wasn't worried about details of his wild side being portrayed.
"I would remind you that I was not married at the time," Wilson said.
Charles Wilson was born June 1, 1933, in Trinity. He attended Sam Houston State University in Huntsville before earning his bachelor's degree from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1956.
"Charlie was a giant. We have lost a giant. There won't be another like him," Temple said at a hospital news conference announcing Wilson's death.
Wilson served as a Naval lieutenant between 1956-60, then entered politics by volunteering for John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign. He served in the Texas House and in the Texas Senate before being elected to the U.S. House in 1972.
Vickers, now assistant secretary of defense for special operations,
Longtime friend Buddy Temple, who was with Wilson when he collapsed Wednesday, said that despite Wilson's reputation as a playboy, he was serious about representing east Texas, including helping to create the Big Thicket National Preserve.
said Wednesday that Wilson was a "great American patriot who played a pivotal role in a world-changing event — the defeat of the Red Army in Afghanistan, which led to the collapse of communism and the Soviet empire."
Wilson is survived by his wife Barbara, whom he married in 1999, and a sister.

Upset so close for Jayhawks
Kansas turnovers help Nebraska storm back late
BY MAX ROTHMAN

Directly after the opening tip, Nebraska senior Kelsey Griffin caught a darted pass, faked left and drove past sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland for a layup on the right side. After that, it seemed Griffin wouldn't need to do much else.
No. 3 Nebraska had beaten its opponents by an average of 23.6
points per game. After the first half, the game Wednesday looked to be headed down the same path.
Then an inexperienced Kansas team snapped back, pushing an undefeated Nebraska team until the final minutes before falling 67-60.
Kansas fell to 4-5 in the Big 12, but it gave a valiant second-half effort in a game that looked all but over by halftime.
Kelsey Griffin, a national player of the year candidate, played just nine minutes, and still the Cornhuskers slugged Kansas 30-20 in the first half.
"You're either dead or dying," coach Bonnie Henrickson said to her team at halftime. "If you're dying, you've at least got breath."
The Jayhawks responded to Henrickson's speech.
After missing nine of its last
10 shots and converting just one field goal in the final 11:40 of the first half, the Jayhawks started the second half by nailing their first 11
board, during the lead with 13:38 to go in the second half.
Griffin said sometimes people looked past unranked teams, but tonight was an example of why they shouldn't.
"Kansas did
a great job executing their sets throughout the game," Griffin said. "Our coaches prepared us for them, we knew them, and they were still able to execute."

clawed back by way of its freshmen.

Freshman guard Monica Engelman converted 2-of-7 shots in the first half and said she was at first a bit nervous at the prospect of challenging an undefeated team.
But in the second half, Engelman glided her way to silky shots and finished with 13 points.
Henrickson said it was also a good defensive effort that helped spark the comeback.
"We got them to rush and pressure some shots," Henrickson said. "We were able to scramble out of some plays too."
But the absence of a true point guard stung Kansas. Playing out of her natural position, senior guard Sade Morris, who finished with seven turnovers, committed three of Kansas' four crucial turnovers in the final three minutes of the game.

PARKS BROTHERS
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
In Kansas' 67-60 loss against No. 3 Nebraska in a game that seemed destined to turn into a route after a rather ugly first half — the Jayhawks did something improbable.
They dug themselves out of a steep hole against one of the best teams in the country — a team that, until this point, had run straight through every team in the Big 12. They cut a 10-point halftime deficit and quickly built a small lead.
And they did all of this with a cast of players that barely touched the court in the beginning of the season.
Sure, Kansas missed a perfectly available opportunity to shake the women's basketball landscape and polls. And sure, the Jayhawks looked sloppy and overmatched in the game's final minutes as Nebraska secured its 22nd consecutive victory this season.
But more important than any of that, at least in terms of the remaining seven games on Kansas' schedule, is this. The Jayhawks displayed that even without former starters Danielle McCrav and Angel Goodrich, they can still play a factor in the Big 12.
"The message to these kids is: We're talented enough," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Now we need to find some toughness to win."
After the game, a somber Henrickson said the game was "two fold," meaning she couldn't view it as mostly positive or most negative.
There was certainly a mixture of both.

New coach renews enthusiasm,plans to take Kansas in new direction
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com

Senior shortstop Sara Ramirez knew right away that new coach Megan Smith was the right choice for the Kansas softball team.
"Her first statement was, 'Were turning Kansas softball around.' Ramirez said. "just to hear those words and to hear that we were going to win — everyone around the room was wide-eyed and all in."
Smith said she wanted to bring titles to Lawrence and wanted the players to think positively whenever they stepped on the field.
Smith replaced Tracy Bunge, who retired last season after 13 years as Kansas' coach. Smith was hired last fall, and this will be her first season coaching the lashawks.
Kansas finished 21-31 last season and went 6-11 in the Big 12. Kansas hasn't made the NCAA Softball Tournament since 2006. The Jayhawks open the season Feb. 12 in Houston at the Marriott Hobby In
vite against Louisville.
Smith doesn't have any timetables in place for Kansas, but she said she wanted the softball program to be turned around as soon as possible.
Smith brings a lot of enthusiasm to a program that placed ninth out of 10 teams in the Big 12 Conference last season and was also picked to place ninth this season in the coaches' preseason poll.
"Our success this year isn't going to be measured by wins and losses," Smith said. "It's going to be by how we approach things and what our demeanor is on the field and how we play as a team."
"She has an incredible amount of passion." Ramirez said. "You can just see the fire in her."
Smith said she also wanted to have a system that allowed Kansas to be highly competitive in both conference play and on the national scene. One of her goals is to improve recruiting.
First-year coach Megan Smith slaps with senior shortstop Sara Ramirez following a home run against Emporia State University on Oct. 3, 2009. Smith was previously an assistant coach at Louisiana State University.
"We want to create that charm pionship mentality, which is excit
ing for players," Smith said. "They want to come in and get a chance to do something special. It's hard for players not to fall in love with Kansas."
Ramirez said Smith expected big things from the team right away.
"She knows that this is a growing period together as a team with the new coach and staff." Ramirez said. "But to her that doesn't mean we can't win, and this isn't automatically a season we just throw away."
Junior outfielder Liz Kocon said that Smith did not accept anything less than perfection in practice — a fact that reflects on Smith's desire to slowly improve the Jayhawks in the minor, yet important, areas of the game.
Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
"Everything we do from fundamental work to scrimmage has to be our hardest work," Kocon said. "If she's not satisfied with our work, we'll be there all night until she is."
To be successful this season, Kansas needs to even out the inconsistencies that it has had in the past.
"We've always had good defensive players, we've always had good hitters, we've always had pitchers,"
1
Kocon said. "But we've never had them working all together consistently."

MORNING BREW
Collins makes it into top 10
On Monday against Texas, Sherron Collins scored his 1,704th point as a Jayhawk and moved to 10th all-time on the Kansas career scoring list.
The career scoring list now looks like this:
Every one of those players except Langford and Collins has his jersey retired in Allen Fieldhouse. Only Collins, Manning and Lovelle have won national championships.
| Player | (Years at KU) Points |
| :--- | :--- |
| 1. Danny Manning | (1985-88) 2,951 |
| 2. Nick Collison | (2000-03) 1,921 |
| 3. Raef LaFrentz | (1995-98) 2,066 |
| 4. Clyde Lovellette | (1950-52) 1,979 |
| 5. Darnell Valentine | (1978-81) 1,821 |
| 6. Keith Langford | (2002-05) 1,812 |
| 7. Paul Pierce | (1996-98) 1,768 |
| 8. Dave Robisch | (1969-71) 1,754 |
| 9. Kirk Hinrich | (2000-03) 1,753 |
| 10. Sherron Collins | (2007-now) 1,704 |
For Collins to catch Manning by the end of the regular season, Collins would need to average 178.14 points per game. Yes, Manning was that great, and no, he will never be caught. Anyone who is capable of coming close to that number will leave early for the NBA.
A hundred years from now, Manning will still be the career leading scorer. Because he's an assistant coach, just imagine how lucky you are that you're still able to see him as part of the Kansas program.
Appreciating Collins' historical
BY MAX VOSBURGH
mvosburgh@kansan.com
twitter.com/MVsports
greatness is also something that should not be taken for granted.
Kansas has seven games left in the regular season. If the Jayhawks make it to the Big 12 Tournament championship, they will have played three additional games. If they play in the National Championship that would be an extra six games, so at most Kansas will play 16 more games this season.
THE
MORNING
BREW
If over those 16 games Collins averages 24.6 points, he will tie for second place with Nick Collison.
If he averages 22.6 points, he will tie for third place with Raef LaFrentz.
if he averages 17.2 points, he will tie for fourth place with Clide Lovette.
Even if the Jayhawks played only one conference tournament game and one NCAA tournament game, they still have nine guaranteed games left this season.
For Collins to crack the top five in career scoring, he would need to average 13 points per game over those nine games.
Now assume Kansas makes it to the Big 12 Tournament championship and
then makes it to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament. That would be 13 more games, and over those 13 games Collins would need to only average nine points per game to be the fifth leading scorer in Kansas history.
Catching Lovellette, LaFrentz, Collison and Manning would be nice, but are they the names that really matter in regards to Collins' pursuit of all-time greatness?
They all played as forwards or centers.
Barring injury, Collins will pass Valentine and be the highest scoring guard in Kansas history. He's already the only guard in the top 10 with a national championship.
When will that happen though? Collins is averaging 15.6 points per game.
If Collins averages 16.7 points per game, about a point more than his season average, the rest of the regular season, he will move into fifth place all-time March 6 at Missouri.

Dallas palace preps for All-Star game crowd
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
ARLINGTON. Texas — When it comes to building the playing surface for an NBA All-Star game, the process is old hat for Doug Hamar.
Hamar, the president and CEO of Horner Sports Flooring
out of Dollar Bay, Mich., has built the floor for the previous 26 NBA All-Star games. Now he's added another playing surface to his vast collection. His company is the one that built the court for Sunday's NBA All-Star Game, which will be played at Cowboys Stadium.
The court, which was put down Tuesday night, consists of 350 pieces of maple 4 feet by 8 feet that are 2 inches thick.
A standing-room-only crowd in the neighborhood of 90,000 is expected to attend Sunday's game. And Brett Daniels wants everyone to know that the All-Star Game is not serving as a trial run for the Super Bowl,
It took a crew of eight nearly five hours to install the floor, which is 29 inches off the ground on a raised platform.
which will be held in this same venue next year.
"There's certainly going to be things we can learn from (the All-Star Game)," said Daniels, the director of corporate communications for the Dallas Cowboys.
"But just to consider that we're going to have the largest crowd to ever witness a basketball game in the history of mankind, I wouldn't call that much of a dress rehearsal."

Junior circuit race features Danica Patrick
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — When JR Motorsports announced Danica Patrick's decision to race in
the Nationwide Series race on Saturday at Daytona International Speedway, race fans perked up.
NASCAR's Nationwide Series is where young developmental drivers come to learn and Cup drivers come to play. But with Patrick's presence, the remnants of a feud between Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski, shorter races and a new car, this season the Nationwide Series will have a lot to offer.

"She's got a lot more eyes on her than I did last year." Joey Logano said. "And I felt like I had a lot of eyes on me. She's probably got twice that."

More than halfway through the Big 12 season, Kansas has dispatched a gritty Kansas State team and a hyped Texas team on the road, as well as all other corners. A weaker second-half schedule presents the question; Can Kansas run the table?
After making quick work of their once-biggest threat in the Big 12, Texas, on Monday, the Jayhawks (23-1, 9-0) are capable of finishing the Big 12 schedule undefeated.
"The Big 12 is a tough conference, and anybody can be beat any night," sophomore forward Marcus Morris said Monday. "Having a three-game lead gives us a lot of confidence. We're still not going to let up, but that doesn't mean we can't lose any games."
As much as they keep saying anyone can beat anyone in the league, the layhawks are breaking that rule so far.
Kansas already survived its toughest road challenges: The overtime victory against Kansas State with what Sherron Collins said was the best crowd he ever faced and against highly ranked, though slowly fading, Texas.
Don't forget the fight the Colorado Buffalooes gave the Jayhawks on their home court, also an overtime victory. The Jayhawks also pounded Missouri, their bitter rival, at home.
With seven games to go — four at Allen Fieldhouse — and a three-game lead in the Big 12, coach Bill Self is trying to keep his team hungry by down-playing the situation.
"We haven't done anything yet, but it certainly puts us in a very favorable position." Self said. "Looking forward, we still have some tough games left."
Here's a look at the rest of their schedule.
FEB. 13; IOWA STATE
Kansas already played this team away and won by 23. Sherron Collins had 11 points. You do the math. The duo of Craig Brackins and Marquis Gilstrap is formidable, but the Jayhawks can find other ways to produce at other positions. The Cyclones can't.
FEB.15: AT TEXAS A&M
take on the 17.6, 6.3 Aggies. The Aggies are tied with the Wildcats for second place in the conference. Donald Sloan, averaging 18.5 points per game, is their only note-worthy player. Just like the other opponents Kansas has faced with a single star on its team, the Jayhawks should focus their defense on him and force the rest of the team to make plays.
If any game left on the schedule spells upset, here it is. The layhawks go back down to Texas, this time in College Station to
FEB. 20: COLORADO
The rematch is at home for Kansas, and the layhawks don't have the altitude to worry about. What they will have to worry about is the return of Alec Burks.
Burks is the second leading scorer on the Buffaloes with almost 17 points per game and he missed only the Kansas game this year. This may be one of the tougher home games, but Colorado is second to last in the Big 12 for a reason — the team can't win on the road.
FEB. 22: OKLAHOMA
Oklahoma is 4-5 in the conference. It isn't ranked in the top five in most of the main statistical categories for the Big 12. Tommy Mason-Griffin can pass the ball around, but again, it's nothing to get excited about.
FEB. 27:
AT OKLAHOMA STATE
The leading scorer in the Big 12, James Anderson, who averages 22.2 points per game, will be the main threat here. The Cowboys are dangerous, having victories against the Wildcats in Manhattan and the Aggies at home. Still, the Jayhawks have the more impressive track record.
MARCH 3:
KANSAS STATE
It was one of the greatest games of the season in Manhattan, but this time the Kansas fans get
to have their say in the matter.
Besides the game against Mizzou at home, Allen Fieldhouse may be as loud as it has been all season.
Can the Wildcats handle that and the Jayhawks at the same time?
So far, the past 55 opponents to visit Allen Fieldhouse haven't been able to.
MARCH 6: AT MISSOURI
This is an interesting matchup. Kansas destroyed Mizzou at home earlier this season 84-65 in the most hostile crowd of the season. You can bet the Mizzou fans will be all riled up in the regular season finale, but will the Jayhawks match that intensity? Worst-case scenario, the Jayhawks will have nothing to play for and won't give the Tigers their best effort. Still, with the coaching staff and personnel this Kansas team has, that shouldn't be a problem.

BIG 12 STOCK REPORT
Jayhawks still have tough conference opponents left
BYTIM DWYER

KANSAS (23-1, 9-0): BUY
The Big 12 Stock Report takes into account several variables. The team's perception and remaining schedule are the biggest factors.
The Jayhawks can't sleepwalk through the rest of the conference season after their monster victory at Texas. Of the remaining seven games, four of them are easily loseable and a fifth, against Oklahoma, could slip away if Kansas loses its focus. Against Texas A&M next Monday and the season finale at
Missouri will be the toughest of the bunch, but the Jawhaws have a legitimate shot at running the

KANSAS STATE (19-4,

It's a good thing the Jayhawks have a three-game cushion, because the remaining schedule favors the Wildcats. They should be favored in every game except for the trip to Allen Fieldhouse in the second-to-last game of the regular season March 1. Unless the Jayhawks

MISSOURI (17-6, 5-3):
SELL
The Tigers are a solid team and Mike Anderson is an excellent coach, but their remaining schedule is just too brutal for them to stay in the hunt for second in the
Big 12. They're looking at potential losses at Baylor, at home to Texas, on the road at Kansas State, and home to Kansas. If the Tigers split those four and win the rest, they could have the resume of a three-seed for the NCAA tournament.
TEXAS (19-5, 5-4): SELL
This is why I'm not a stockbroker. Stockbrokers are good at calling trends before they happen. I thought Texas' swoon was temporary, even though the Longhorns' flaws were easily visible. I was wrong. Freshman forward Jordan Hamilton and freshman guard J'Covan Brown are all too willing to

Carolyn Davis scored nine of Kansas' measly 20 points in the first half. She finished with a team-high 17 points and 11 rebounds on her way to her third career double-double. She was the focal point of Kansas' offense, scoring in bunches by getting to the free-throw line where she sunk 7-0 attempts. Davis is the team's true low post option, because Aishah Sutherland is more of a jump shooter and Krysten Boogaard has struggled in minimal time.

Guards struggle,fail against Cornhuskers
BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
With senior guard Danielle McCray and freshman guard Angel Goodrich permanently residing on the bench because of untimely injuries, the Jayhawks lack key players at the guard position.
That seemed to make a big difference in Kansas' 67-60 loss to No. 3 Nebraska Wednesday night.
After the Jayhawks opened up the second half with sizzling shooting from the field, making all of their first 11 shot attempts, they seemed to hit a wall. It's possible that this was a direct result of Nebraska's pressure defense and the trouble it caused for the guards.
"They have to work hard to get the ball up the court," freshman forward Carolyn Davis said of the guards, "and then they have to run the offense and go back on defense. It wears on you."
The layhawks' guards were the ones primarily dealing with the Cornhuskers' full-court press, and they were the ones showing the effects of it. On Wednesday night, Kansas' guards turned the ball over 13 times, and seven of those occurred down the stretch as Kansas fought to hang on in a losing effort.
On top of having to fight through the press on nearly every possession, the guards didn't get much time to rest on the bench. Kansas' three starting guards missed only a combined 14 minutes of action in the game, and senior guard Sade Morris played the full 40 minutes.
"We talked about playing through some fatigue, and we did at times," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Then we kind of let it get to us and played a little bit soft there at times."

In addition to the turnovers, the fatigue factor also seemed to cause a few mental missteps in some the jayhawks, especially the younger ones.

Despite the unraveling toward the end of the game, Kansas' guards still found a way to produce on offense for the second straight game. They accounted for 29 of the layhawks' 60 points after scoring 37 combined points in a victory against Kansas State last Sunday.
"I was wide open," Engelman said. "I don't know why I didn't shoot the shot."
That was just one in a series of three consecutive turnovers that allowed the Cornhuskers to recover from a five-point deficit to steal the lead from the lajawhacks.
The Kansas guards, as well as the rest of the team, will need to find a way to maintain energy and composure for a full 40 minutes when No. 14 Texas visits Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday.
"There's no excuse to be tired in a game of this magnitude," Henrickson said. "There's no
"We want to compete and prove that we're good enough to win," Henrickson said. "We tried to do that tonight. We just didn't play long enough to get it done."

COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
After building a four-point lead with 7:56 left in the game, Kansas made careless mistakes. The Jayhawks committed seven of their 19 turnovers in the final eight minutes, and many of those miscues resulted in points for the Cornhuskers.
But that Kansas even held a lead late against a veteran-heavy Nebraska team is surprising.
Behind another strong inside performance from freshman Carolyn Davis — and with help outside from freshman Monica Engelman
— the Jayhays made their first 11 shots of the second half.
In their last two games, the layhawks have hardly displayed a

hangover effect after the season- ending injury to McCray. Actually, the injury has seemingly inspired the remaining players.
Kansas knocked off Kansas State last Sunday and followed that performance with another solid outing against Nebraska Wednesday.
"I watched their K-State game and thought, 'Boy I don't know what they would do with McCray, but they looked really good in that game.' Nebraska coach Connie Yori said. "I think that maybe comes with not having to run everything for McCray, and now they're getting some other people involved. No, this doesn't surprise me at all."
Kansas certainly isn't better off without McCray. That point would be hard to argue.
But the layhawks displayed an ability to scrap and fight, even against one of the nation's most dominant teams.
More than anything, that's the most important lesson to take moving forward.

Syracuse hangs on to win after giving up huge lead
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Wes Johnson and Kris Joseph combined to make six straight free throws in the final 33 seconds, and No. 2 Syracuse held off Connecticut 72-67 on Wednesday night after squandering a 16-point lead in the second half.
Jerome Dyson's 3 pointer for the Huskies tied it at 65 with 2:33 left, but Johnson put the Orange back in front by hitting two foul shots with 30.4 seconds to go.
It was the 11th straight victory for Syracuse (24-1, 12-1) and it snapped a six-game skid against the Huskies in the regular season.
Syracuse opened the season with 13 wins before losing to Pittsburgh. It's the first time in school history the Orange have had two 10-game winning streaks in one season.
Connecticut (14-10, 4-7) dropped to 0-6 on the road this season and 1-5 against ranked teams. That lone victory was over Texas when the Longhorns were No. 1, and the Huskies are still looking for another signature win.
George Blaney fell to 3-4 in place of coach Jim Calhoun, who took a medical leave of absence last month.
Rick Jackson led Syracuse with 15 points. Joseph had 14 and Johnson 13.
Dyson paced Connecticut with 19 points and Stanley Robinson had 16, but only two in the second half. Kemba Walker added 14 and Gavin Edwards 12.
The Orange seemed in command after Jackson's shot over Edwards gave Syracuse a 50-34 lead with 13:50 left.
But the struggling Huskies roared back with a 14-2 run. Dyson scored six points, drawing a key charge on Andy Rautins to set up a dunk by Edwards, then converted a follow on the third try to move Connecticut within 52-48 with 8:36 to go.
Syracuse held the lead, but never by more than six, and Dyson's 3
from the top of the key had the Huskies within 61-60 with 4:06 remaining.
Boeheim called a timeout with 36.6 seconds left and 32 on the shot clock.
Johnson's soaring dunk along the baseline over Ater Majok put the Orange back up 65-62, but Dyson followed with another 3 from the left wing to tie it at 65 with 2:33 left.
Johnson was fouled by Robinson as soon as play resumed and sank both free throws to give Syracuse a 67-65 lead with 30.4 seconds left
Walker then missed a 3, Dyson snared the long rebound from Joseph and missed a runner as the shot clock was about to expire.
After a timeout, Rautins missed a 3 off the inbounds pass, Jackson rebounded and Orange coach Jim
Joseph followed with two more free throws with 11.5 seconds to go. Walker hit a layup to cut the lead back to a basket, but Joseph sealed it with two more free throws after he was intentionally fouled by Majok on a breakaway with 5.8 seconds left.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Jon Scheyer scored 24 points and eighth-ranked Duke pulled away in the final minutes to beat North Carolina 64-54 on Wednesday night.
Kyle Singler added 19 points for the Blue Devils (20-4, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who shot poorly all night and couldn't make much of anything in close. But boasting a bigger and tougher front line than in years past, Duke dominated the boards and got plenty of extra looks to make up for all those misses.
The rivalry game might have lost some luster this time around due to North Carolina's struggles and Duke looking like a good, but hardly great, team. Both schools had been ranked in the top 10 in the past four meetings, but North Carolina — which started the season at No. 6 and as co-ACC favorite with Duke — fell out of the poll two weeks ago.

Duke hit nine 3-pointers, but shot 32 percent overall and went 13 for 51 (25 percent) from inside the arc.
Will Graves scored 13 points to lead the Tar Heels.
Still, this one ended up fitting right in with college basketball's fierce rivalry when it came to intensity and fight. Neither team led by more than six points in the first 30 minutes and they were tied with about 8 minutes left before the Blue Devils finally took control.
It was a satisfying win for the Blue Devils, who had lost six of seven meetings during a stretch that seemed to signal a shift in power between the programs back to the light blue in Chapel Hill. North Carolina has won two national championships, including last year in Detroit, since Duke last went to a Final Four in 2004.
Duke finished with a 51-42 rebounding advantage and converted 23 offensive rebounds into 21 second-chance points, baskets that repeatedly drained the momentum building when the Tar
Heels appeared on the verge of a defensive stop.
In addition, Duke's win came on a night when the Tar Heels retired the No. 50 jersey of four-year star Tyler Hansbrough, who graduated as the storied program's leading scorer and rebounded, as well as the top scorer in ACC history.
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Despite starters' off games, Mizzou defeats Iowa State
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Laurence Bowers added 10 points and a career-best 12 rebounds, and Justin Safford had 13 points and nine rebounds for the Tigers (18-6, 6-3 Big 12), who are three games above .500 in conference play for the first time this season.
Missouri survived 4-for-20 shooting from 3-point range in its first time back in the Mizzou Arena since its 32-game home-court winning streak was ended by Texas A&M a week earlier.
Tiller broke his nose Saturday at Colorado and scored just four points. He had been held below double figures nine of the previous 10 games.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — J.T. Tiller scored a season-high 17 points after discarding a face mask for a broken nose in the opening minute, helping Missouri beat Iowa State 65-56 on Wednesday night.
Craig Brackins had 12 points and 14 rebounds for his ninth double-double of the season for Iowa State (13-11, 2-7).
Missouri overcame off games from starters Kim English, held
Brackins' dunk cut the deficit to 54-53 with 4:40 to go and the Cyclones didn't score again until Gilstrap hit a 3-pointer with seven seconds to go. Missouri pulled away with 11 straight points, five from English.
Iowa State missed its first seven shots, shot only 31 percent in the first half but trailed 28-23 because Missouri had its own issues.
English, who has a team-leading 15-point average, picked up two quick fouls in the opening two minutes and watched the rest of the half from the bench. Missouri leaned on its reserves, outsourcing Iowa State 20-0.
Iowa State was just 2 for 14 from 3-point range and shot 33 percent overall.

Marquis Gilstrap had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Cyclones, who cut the gap to one point five times in the second half before fading to their sixth loss in seven games.

to nine points, and senior Zaire Taylor, who went scoreless in consecutive games for the first time in his career. The Tigers also committed as many turnovers (14) as they forced.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — After missing a chance to seal the win James Dews made a 15-footer at the buzzer Wednesday night to give Miami a 64-62 victory over No. 20 Georgia Tech.
Dews missed the front end of a one-and-one with 19 seconds left, and Iman Shumpert sank a layup for Tech to tie the game with 10 seconds to go. That capped a comeback by the Yellow Jackets, who trailed by 14 early in the second half.
Hurricanes moved the length of the court and Durand Scott fed Dews, who faked out a defender before swishing his shot. Dews then leaped into a mob of jubilant teammates.
The Hurricanes (17-7,3-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) won for only the second time in the past eight games.
The crowd numbered less than 500, pep band included, when the Hurricanes took the court a few minutes before tip-off. Miami improved to 11-1 at home this season.

Kansas christens court with win
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
The Kansas tennis team brought its first victory to its newly named Jayhawk Tennis Facility against the University of Missouri-Kansas City Kangarooos. The Jayhawks won 7-0.
They swept doubles, only dropping seven games overall, in three matches.
"It definitely builds up your self-esteem," said coach Amy Hall-Holt. "Bouncing back and winning against UMKC showed a lot of character of our girls. They had a lot of energy and a lot of fight out there, and it was a good UMKC team."
Freshman Sara Lazarevic and sophomore Erin Wilbert, the No. 1 doubles team, started their set winning five straight games. They hit a snag and switched off the
next four sets before winning 8-3 on a volley by Wilbert. It was their first match together.
"I was a little nervous because I wanted to show Coach that we can do this," Wilbert said. "It wasn't exactly difficult. It was just closing it out it was like, "We can do this. We just have to put it into play."
Though this was Lazarevic and Wilbert's first time in competition together, they are no strangers off the court.
"We are roommates, and she is one of my best friends here so we get along really well, and we communicate really well, and I think we make a good team." Wilbert said. "I hope we get to play more together in the future."
Wilbert also found success in singles, where she did not drop a single game in either set to win 6-0, 6-0 at the No.5 spot.
"I don't like being on the last
court down there, so I try to get it done as fast as possible," Wilbert said. "She just kind of hit balls back and finish, so I just came in and tried to finish the points."
In singles, the Jayhawks saw some trouble, but they dropped only one set before winning all six singles matches. Senior Kuni Dorn lost her first set, but she came back to win the second and force a third set into a tie breaker.
"I was down the second set 6-5, so I was really close to losing, but my heart was there, so I was fighting," Dorn said.
Dorn was the final match to finish on the day, and the team had officially won before she went into the tiebreaker.
"I was kind of nervous," Dorn said. "I was calm because we had already won, so it is not a bad thing, but it feels good that I won."
Dorn finished the match winning 3, 6-7, 6 (2), 10-4. Hall-Holt was impressed with Dorn's effort fighting through her match.
"Kuni has been struggling a little bit with parts of her game," Hall-Holt said. "But I think definitely by fighting back and bouncing back from losing the first set shows a lot of character on her part, and I think her bouncing back as a senior and wanting this match is going to keep getting better from here on out."
The Jayhawks improved to 4-0 in the series with UMKC under Hall-Holt and 2-1 on the spring season overall.
The Jayhawks have a doubleheader on Sunday facing University of Iowa at 10 a.m. and the University of South Dakota at 3 p.m. at the Jayhawk Tennis Facility.

The NBA is in town, sweeting every last detail, and there just isn't any way that this All-Star extravaganza will be anything but an unqualified success.
Future All-Star locale not decided
NEW YORK - This weekend is a can't-miss proposition.
It's a chamber of commerce dream - the biggest party weekend in sports (from Mark Cuban's perspective) with thousands of visitors, celebrities, athletes, exotic dancers and hangers-on bringing their dollars into North Texas.
So naturally, All-Star Weekend will be coming back to Dallas and Arlington again soon, right?
Don't be so sure.
David Stern sees this visit to the world's newest, grandest sports playpen as a one-shot deal.
"I think it's possible," the commissioner said of a quick return.
"But right now, we're viewing it as a place where we're going to set and retire the record for the most people ever to have attended not just an NBA game but a basketball game.
During an exclusive interview at the NBA's midtown Manhattan offices, Stern touched on a variety of subjects but was particularly effusive about the Mavericks,their history and this year's marquee event (so far), the 59th All-Star Game and its accompanying events.
"I think that's a moving definition," Stern said. "In other words, as many tickets as have been released have been sold. There's some pressure to open up more sections and the like. But we'll see how that goes. We could live and hold our heads high with 85,000 to 90,000 people. There are some among us – and I don't want to reveal Mark and Jerry's identities – who say, what the hell, let's go for 100,000-plus.

one. Finally, I pulled out a folded New York Jets football player, addressed To: Kekei From: Brandon.
On the last day of elementary school, Brandon broke up with me to, in his terms, "play the field" in middle school. Recovering was a slow and painful process. New crushes came and went, but 10 years later I've yet to have a significant other to celebrate that day with. I'm afraid my youthful optimism has hardened and gone as stale as those colorful candy hearts stamped with sweet sayings. (I'm not bitter. Do I sound bitter?)
I have one successful Valentine's Day on record. It was sixth grade and things were getting pretty serious between me and my boyfriend. Brandon. We'd known each other since kindergarten when he would come over to play Power Rangers with my twin brother, Kevin. Somewhere between soccer games at recess and hand-holding in the hallway, romance ensued.
Unlike all of the other kids who received this NFL Valentine, mine was different. It wasn't sealed with the matching football sticker, but with a cure green dinosaur, gleaming and clutching a pink heart that said, "Let's be friends." It was true love at its finest.
After all of the kids had properly sorted and placed Batman, Barbie and Scooby Doo greetings onto desks we sat down in nervous anticipation.
Valentine's Day in elementary school is rarely a cause for disappointment. Everyone got a valentine from each of the 23 kids in Mrs. Ostrander's class, and the room moms provided delicious heart-shaped cookies and white-frosted cupcakes to enjoy. Hardly the loneliness and cynicism experienced by some singles today.
1 stared at my white tissue-papered shoebox decorated with cookie-cutter heart stickers and drawings. I began pulling out each card one by
Whether you're single or taken, check out Lindsay's story on page 8 and decide how to celebrate this sometimes-dreaded holiday. As for me, I'll be spending this Singles' Awareness Day (also known as S.A.D. Ironic?) with my best friends — drinking wine, eating sushi and fondly remembering a simpler time when love was exchanged through sports heroes and funny Valentines.

how we met // ALYCIA FUTRELLE AND MATT OVINGTON
all great relationships had to start somewhere.
Alycia Futrelle and Matt Ovington took pictures, hiked and treaded carefully onto the iced-over water of Clinton Lake. Futrelle, Overland Park senior, had finally worked up the courage to strike up a conversation with Ovington. Chicago senior, one day in their Spanish class, which resulted in the picnic on this 60-degree January day. Later that night, the couple met up again and hung out at Futrelle's apartment until 4 a.m.
Futurelle says she was supposed to go over to a bonfire Ovington was having with friends, but he ended up coming to her place. "We smoked hookah and listened to music. I taught him how to blow smoke rings. I remember not feeling tired at all because the time felt like it had gone by so fast."
Futrelle says she wanted to impress Ovington by making her a batch of cookies, but nerves got the best of her baking skills. After three batches that came out like hockey pucks, she decided to give him store-bought cookies. Futrelle says Ovington told her they were delicious, but she later found the cookies untouched on his desk weeks later. "I'm not the best baker in the world, but that was one of the first times I completely failed at baking. He still decided to date me, thankfully," Futrelle says.
The couple likes outdoor activities and going to local shows in Lawrence, though Ovington says they can find fun in anything. "Even if we are just grocery shopping we have a fun time doing that," he says.

catch of the week // QUYNH PHAM
our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
---
HOMETOWN: Olathe
YEAR: Junior
MAJOR: Psychology
INTERESTED IN: Men
Ideal date: I'm really indecisive so if a guy has a creative evening all planned out and just tells me what time I need to be ready by then I'm game!
Main hobbies: Eating, nights out with the girls and sleeping ... in that order.
Favorite Lawrence hangout: Louise's Schooner Night!
Favorite quote: "Turn it on vibrate and put it in your pocket — it feels better." Craig
Martin, professor of psychology. Some guy's phone went off during class and that was his response!
Major turn off(s): When guys come on too strongly or act like I owe them something just because they bought me a drink or took me out to dinner. I mean, if I don't hang out with you again it's because I wasn't impressed.
Major turn on(s): I love forehead kisses, they just give me that warm, giggly feeling inside
Attractive personality traits: Funny, intelligent, easy-going and a gentleman who opens my door once in awhile. I want someone who isn't afraid of the concept of a date and who prefers to call instead of text. I'd like to think chivalry has not died completely.
Why I am a catch! I'm goofy and laid back. I like to laugh a lot and my friends like hanging out with me, so hopefully that stands for something.

What exactly are Kegels and do they actually work? Some of my friends claim they get too sore from doing them. Are they not for everyone? — Tonya
Few people realize that your sexual organs are just like any other part of your body: They need to be exercised to perform at their fullest.
Kegels, named after Dr. Arnold Kegel, are a way to strengthen your pelvic floor muscle, otherwise known as you Pubococcygeus (PC) muscle. Your PC muscle plays an important role in bladder control and is the muscle you use to stop urinating or to squeeze out those last few drops.
You can do Kegels by flexing and then relaxing your PC muscle. Pretend like you are trying to stop yourself from urinating, and then relax.
You should practice both slow and fast Kegels. Slow Kegels involve contracting your PC muscle and holding it for a slow count of three and then relaxing. Fast Kegels involve contracting and releasing your PC as rapidly as you can and then relaxing.
Originally Kegels were developed to help
women who leaked urine when they coughed, sneezed or laughed, but they can do so much more.
Kegels can actually increase pleasure from orgasm in both men and women. Research has also shown that for men Kegels can help with erectile dysfunction and even premature or involuntary ejaculation.
There is a bit of a catch, though. All of these benefits will only start to show themselves about a month or two after doing this exercise.
It is also very important not to do Kegels excessively, or soreness may result. Most sexual experts agree that Kegels should be done in moderation to begin with and then increase in number gradually.
Men and women should begin by doing five slow contractions and five quick ones three times a day. Each week the number of contractions you do should only increase by five. Castleman says the ultimate goal should be to do 50 slow and 50 fast contractions three times a day for a total of 300 contractions a day.
Just like any initial exercise program, you may feel a little soreness in the beginning. The beautiful
// MIKE ANDERSON
thing about Kegels is that it is difficult for others to tell when you are actually doing them. You can practice your Kegels driving in your car, when you are eating dinner, or even when you are sitting in class. Just remember, it takes a month or two to notice the orgasm enhancement. But stick with it — the payoff will be great. Promise.

MICHAEL GRUBBS
Michael Grubbs plays "Grubbs" on the CW's One Tree Hill. He is also the lead singer of Wakey! Wakey!, a band from Brooklyn, New York. Wakey! Wakey! released a new album, Almost Everything I Wish I'd Said The Last, which came out Feb. 2.
Cheese. I live for cheese. I don't know why, but I just need it. I went to Paris where it's totally okay to eat cheese for breakfast and I almost never left. Cheese on pizza, nachos, by itself, on a sandwich or just really good brie on a cracker with some spicy jelly ... Oh god, I just got so hungry.
It would be Cindy Morgan in 1980. She plays Lacey Underall in the movie Caddyshack. The scene where Chevy Chase gives her the massage and does the fake shot. I was too young to see it when it came out, but I remember the first time I saw that scene a few years ago, thinking to myself, I want to live in this scene. I heard they totally improvised it. Chevy Chase was a charming devil in his day! I'm not one of those guys that's super into Caddyshack. I've never even played golf. But the one time I saw it, I was all about that scene.
Fifth grade and it was a doozie. Her name was Gwen. I bought her a ring and asked her to be my girlfriend. She said yes. It lasted a few hours. It's painful and I don't want to go into it, but we really had something (haha). It's a good thing it was a good kiss, because I was a super nerd and didn't get kissed again until high school.
I would really like to wear ripped-up T-shirts more, but I'm really pale. Like, glow in the dark pale. It's hard to sleep at night with all of the glowing light emanating from my baby-fine Irish skin.
I love zombies so much. 28 Days Later remains in my top five movies of all time. I want to be the guy running from them, though. Maybe surviving quietly off canned food with a great haircut and some killer boots. I also need a really hot, special lady to sport those killer boots for, reproduce the human race with and eventually sacrifice myself for in a heart-wrenching scene where I stay behind to slow down the zombies.

the science of ATTRACTION

Use Darwin as your wingman: Evolutionary theory unlocks the secrets to attraction //ADAMVOSSEN
It doesn't hurt to flirt. Men and women may have different strategies when it comes to making the first move, but don't let it prevent you from being forward. Biology helps break down those mixed signals, giving you the best insight in snagging a significant other.
attraction is difficult to figure out. Why do we find ourselves bored and uninterested with the sweet and sensitive person but go chasing after the one who ignores
us and treats us like crap?
Proving that those little birds on the Galapagos Islands didn't tolerate Darwin in vain, attraction can be explained with evolutionary theory, says Madeleine Fugere, associate professor at Eastern Connecticut State University.
In preparation for her book, "The Social Psychology of Dating and Mating," Fugere researched attraction and its scientific implications. Evolutionary theory proposes that the unconscious goal of humans is to pass along genes. Men and women act on this unconscious goal differently, Fugere says.
Evolutionary theory states that a man's reproductive success is improved with a higher number of sexual partners. Women, on the other hand, look for a partner who would be able to take care of and support potential offspring.
This explains why there are so many mixed signals between the two genders. "Men have sexual motivation when they flirt," Fugère says. "Women have more of a focus on a relationship or having fun when they're flirting."
After a year of flirtation, Amanda Enncking, Lawrence senior, was able to snag her current boyfriend of more than a month.
Usually, the guy is expected to be aggressive, Enneking says, and most don't like the girl to pursue them. Enneking solved this problem by
using a system of "subtle aggression," which she believes many girls use. By arranging "coincidental meetings" and making sure they were both hanging out at the same place, Enneking patiently but intently waited for her boyfriend to get the hint.
"I was more aggressive because I got the sense that he wasn't as aggressive," she says.
A study entitled "Social-Sexual Interactions? Meta-Analyses of Sex Differences in Perceptions of Flirtinginess, Seductiveness, and Promiscuousness" published in September of 2009 proposed that if a first date is initiated by a woman, men tend to interpret this cue sexually.
According to the study, this misunderstanding is common. In flirtation, men can be more likely to perceive the interaction using a "social-sexual relational schema." This means men will usually think flirtation from a girl is a sign of sexual interest. "The goal for most guys is to take the girl home," says Blake Ward, Inman junior.
To initiate flirtation, Ward says men will try to increase their attractiveness to a girl. Men will try to portray themselves as the leader of their group to do this. Because women are looking for someone who will be able to support a family, a man who comes off as powerful or confident is more likely to fall into the family-man category.
It all comes back to hormones and biology. Fugère says. Fluctuation of hormone levels affects attraction for both men and women. There is some evidence that women dress differently, especially in more revealing ways, when they're ovulating. Fugère says. And men's levels of testosterone affect their aggressiveness, which can translate to being
more sexually aggressive. During these times of high hormones, men and women are more likely to be attracted to others.
Pheromones also play a role in attraction. Though many people think of pheromones as a noticeable smell, it's actually an unconscious reaction to a person's genetic code.
Evolutionary theory suggests that people are more strongly attracted to someone whose genetic code is different; if an offspring is created from two very different genetic codes, the child will carry immunities to more things and have a better chance at survival.
Conversely, people with similar ethnic, religious and political backgrounds are found to be more attractive.
"You know how they say birds of a feather flock together? That tends to be true." Fugère says.
So, is a chemistry set necessary when trying to find your next relationship, or even just for your next make out?
Both Ward and Erneking say they think a first impression can guide your judgment. Ability to communicate well and physical appearance top their lists as ways to judge attraction. This holds true even in science, Fugère says.
People who are perceived as physically attractive may actually have better genes, Fugère says. Facial symmetry is one of the most important perceptions of beauty, because our genes have programmed us to believe that a symmetrical face is the sign of healthy genes.
So forget the cologne or perfume and the pick-up line or push-up bra. Attraction is all science.
A FIRST IMPRESSION CAN MAKE OR BREAK A FLIRTATION
A first impression happens within milliseconds, and in those milliseconds a lot can be inferred about a person. Research shows those inferences are usually accurate.
The underlying processes of the first impression don't differ much between different sexual orientations, however homosexuals are slightly better at identifying other homosexuals. Fugère says.
Physical traits shape a first impression greatly. This includes posture and facial expression as well as facial symmetry.
A Facebook first impression will not serve the same purpose as an in-person interaction. Looking up someone's profile before a meeting could actually affect the real first impression.
When it comes to moving beyond first impressions and interpreting flirting, things can get complicated. The study published in Communication Monographs found that women's signals are misread more often than men's. According to the study, this confusion of signals is due to men's inability to decode women's cues of sexual interest or disinterest.

BITTER
Don't let the hype ruin your holiday.Whether you're taken ...
leading up to Valentine's Day, many couples scramble to plan a socially-acceptable show of their affection
and end up experiencing anxiety and disappointment due to their unrealistic expectations, says Toni Coleman, a licensed psychotherapist and relationship expert.
A self-proclaimed gentleman, C.J. Harries, Wichita junior, has never been in a relationship on Valentine's Day but says there's truth to Coleman's statement. "Relationships should be about mutual desire and respect, but men are expected to put on a performance," Harries says.
Coleman says that holding this Hallmark holiday at such a high level of importance isn't healthy for any relationship. "When you love someone, you love them all the time and not just extra special because it's Valentine's Day," Nicole Arnold,
Louisburg freshman. Arnold says she thinks it's more important for couples to focus on having fun and enjoying each other's company rather than trivial concerns such as how much money is spent.
Though local jewelry stores usually see an increase in sales around Valentine's Day, spending a lot of money isn't always the key to an enjoyable evening. Rich Yeakel, co-owner of Mark's Jewelers, 817 Massachusetts St., suggests that couples on a budget go to the grocery store together, cook a nice meal and just hang out. The perfect evening can be as simple as picking up a new release from the video store (preferably not one resembling The Notebook) and snuggling up on the couch as your roommates gag at your cuteness.
"I think people get a bit too caught up in the spectacle," Harries says. "Once you let yourself get concerned with fancy plans and big gifts, people forget it's about showing your affection, not showing off your wallet."
Gifts to avoid giving your Valentine
*Weight Watchers membership
*He's Just Not That Into You
*Any stuffed animal that talks or sings when you press a plastic heart to its chest
*A gift card to McDonald's
*A poke on Facebook
*A DVD set of Murder She Wrote
*Leftover Halloween candy
*A copy of Sex For Dummies
*An STI

Bad romance: Don't let the Valentine's Day hype ruin your relationship. Flowers and candy may seem like a good gift, but materialism on February 14 isn't the way to go. Do something unique for your sweetie, and show them how special they are all the time, not just one day out of the year.

... or single, you can still avoid the pitfalls of Valentine's Day.
BROOKLYN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
Share the love. This Valentine's Day, get a group of your fellow singles together and celebrate accordingly. Steering from the conventional romantic dinner, and one-on-one interaction can be liberating. Surround yourself with good friends and fun to have a stress free holiday
S
irloin steak, Texas Hold'em and the Terminator trilogy. These things make up the perfect Valentine's Day for Tyler Cini, Round
Rock, Texas, senior.
Cini is single, but says he isn't worried about not having a significant other to share the holiday with. He says he plans on spending the day with his good friends instead. "I don't think you have to be in a relationship to spend Valentine's Day with people you care about," Cini says.
According to a Rasmussen Reports poll, Cini is one of more than 95 million single Americans. Twenty-six percent of these people are dreading
Valentine's Day. Many of these singles will be looking for ways to spend Valentine's Day without focusing on the fact that they're not involved in a romantic relationship.
There are a variety of alternate ways to spend this holiday. According to Toni Coleman, licensed psychotherapist, relationship coach and founder of www.consum-mate.com, singles have a number of choices for how to get through the day. Coleman says one option is to make plans with another single friend to pamper yourselves with something like a pedicure or a massage. If you're feeling cynical, Coleman suggests you organize an Un-Valentine's Day party with all of your single friends or use the day to clean your apartment and file your taxes.
C. J. Harries, Wichita junior fondly remembers the simpler times of Valentine's Day. "In fourth or fifth grade, I found these amazing Star Wars Valentines that blew everything else out of the water," Harries says. Unfortunately, the days are long gone when cards featuring C-3PO and Chewbacca were an acceptable expression of love.
So, if heart-shaped boxes of chocolate and overpriced bouquets of roses aren't your thing, you can take a cue from Harries and use this Valentine's Day as an opportunity to let everyone you love know it. Harries says he plans to call all of his friends and family to find out how they're doing and to let them know how much he cares about them. Jp

it's not all about fast food and beer pong.
Laughter is the best medicine. If you're feeling blue, check out Those People, a fast-thinking local improv troupe. Those People have their first show at Barrel House, 729 New Hampshire St., on Feb. 10 and have a monthly show at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St.
Founded three years ago by KU students, the group has quickly gained speed, performing regular shows all across Lawrence and in the Kansas City area. Last year Those People took second place in the Improv Thunderdome, a Kansas City area competition hosted by the Westport Coffee House in Kansas City. They're
back for more this year. gunning for first.
Rather than the short sketch comedy, the troupe practices a form of improv called "The Harold," or rather a bastardization of such, says Lott.
The Harold was first performed in the late 1960s and allows each troupe to modify and put their own comedic spin on it. The show begins with a single audience suggestion, which is used to
create three sets of three scenes based on wacky characters that each of the players create on the spot. The actors swap combinations of people in and out of the spotlight, all-the-while trying to intertwine the three story arcs in a hilarious manner.
The freedom to adapt a tested form to suit their talent allows Those People to experiment with different openings, characters and themes to create an infinite number of unique performances, so you'll never see the same show twice.

essential life skills // POURING A BEER
in case of emergency, read quickly.
There's more to pouring a beer than you may think. Pouring a beer improperly can pollute wonderful aromas, cause an improper release of CO2, and hinder the flavors of the beer. If you want your beer to fulfill its potential, consider this advice.
Before you start pouring, think about the condition of the beer. Warmth and disturbance will make more foam come out of the container, says Danny DiMezza, bartender at Dempsey's Irish Pub, 623 Vermont St.
Focus on what style of beer you will be pouring. Geoff Deman, assistant head brewer at Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., says a beer's carbonation determines what kind of glass it should be poured into. For example, if it is a highly carbonated beer it should be poured into a tulip style or tall, flute-shaped glass because it helps release CO2 when the beer is poured. If the beer is lower in carbonation, a standard pub glass should be fine.
Deman says clean glassware is absolutely essential. "Residual soap in a glass will harm the aroma and kill the head of the beer." Rinse your glassware in water before you pour your beer to ensure any contaminations are removed.
You want to cock the glass a certain way depending on the style of beer. If the beer is highly
carbonated, tilt the glass at a 45 degree angle and start pouring down the side. Wait until a third of the pour you want is in the glass, then tilt the glass upright and pour in the center. If the beer is lower in carbonation, start pouring downwards into the center of the glass earlier. A head the width of two fingers is a good rule of thumb for what you are looking for. Deman says.
"The head is a delivery mechanism for the aroma of the beer," explains Deman. "It enhances the flavors of the beer as well."
Once you have poured a pure beer with a beautiful head of foam, drink your deliciously calculated prize.

Simple ways to combat your cabin fever // ANNA KATHAGNARATH

Bored beyond belief. Winter weather got you down? Taking simple steps such as making a to-do list, chatting online with friends, and even enjoying an afternoon in a bright room can prevent you from falling victim to rainy fever and its symptoms.
Photo illustration by jerry Wang
This past winter break was dismal for Jolieta Panchala.
Panchala. Salina freshman, returned home and looked forward to a month of rest and relaxation. Instead, she encountered a case of cabin fever, which is identified as a condition of boredom or irritability that results from a lack of stimulation and a prolonged stay in a remote or confined area.
"Sometimes people describe it like they're walking in quick sand and they can't seem to get themselves going," says Simon Rego, clinical psychologist and director of clinical training at the American Institute for Cognitive Therapy. He says symptoms include a low energy level, sluggish behavior, extensive sleeping hours, eating more and a loss of interest in activities. The winter blues can have you going temporarily insane from isolation, but there are a few simple ways to combat the symptoms.
SET GOALS
Rego says cabin fever sufferers need to consider two things: what they're doing and what they're thinking. People typically get a sense of pleasure and accomplishment from doing something. Without that adequate stimulation of activity a pattern of negative thinking arises.
Rego suggests finding an activity where you can set goals. Find an activity, however minute, and finish it to the end. Fulfilling a goal will give you a sense of accomplishment, and nothing feels better than crossing off your to-do list.
STAY SOCIAL
The environment constantly affects our mental state says Michael Young, associate professor of psychology at the Illinois Institute of Technology. He says cabin fever is a psychological effect due to isolation and lack of stimulation. Human interaction is one way to get that stimulation. "We're social animals," Young says. "It's part of being human." He says something as simple as seeing your friend's face can have a positive effect on your mood. So join the Skype hype, which is software you can use for video chat. Or instead of texting, use those fingers for dialing and try calling your friends.
SAY NO TO NAPS
According to a recent study by Public Polling Policy, 23 percent of adults age 18 - 29 have sleep issues during the winter. Dirk Hansen, vice president of Global Clinical Quality and Outcomes for Workplace Options, says that maintaining a normal routine is key to combatting possible symptoms. "We all like a certain amount of predictability," Hansen says. "Winter sometimes changes that for us and we can't count on the weather." Although you can't predict the weather, you can predict your next move. Even if your bed is calling for you, try opting for an activity with your roommate to keep you alert.
Rego says cabin fever sufferers often make the mistake of thinking they have to be motivated first to do an activity. He says motivation and energy start to rise after we begin to engage in an activity and not before. "It gets harder to walk away from it because you've already started the momentum of taking action," Rego says.
ELIMINATE BAD EATING HABITS
GET SOME SUN
Rego says cabin fever sufferers might eat more simply because it's an activity associated with being indoors. Along with watching TV and lounging around, you're more inclined to crave carbohydrates. He suggests that sufferers keep in mind that they're going to be stuck indoors. So, if you're going to venture outdoors only to get groceries, select healthy foods for more energy.
"Your biological rhythms are affected by the length of the day and the lighting conditions." Young says. During the winter the days are shorter, which can affect sleeping habits and mood. He says the amount of light we get inside, even in a relatively bright room, is much less than we get outside on a cloudy day. If you're cooped inside, try opening the shades to allow natural sunlight in.
Remembering one simple step can help you combat cabin fever. Panchala rediscovered her passion for reading and cooking to curb her cabin fever. Say goodbye to the winter blues and hello to a less stressful you. Jp

stage presence // KATLYN CONROY AND THE local musicians. feel free to swoon. WILD AND WOOLY
They may adapt exotic animal personas, but these "wild" musicians' true mascot ought to be the underdog.
Just weeks after forming, Katlyn Conroy and the Wild and Wooly took to the stage at the 2009 KJHK Farmer's Ball, and, despite stiff competition, won the title and coveted recording time by audience vote.
"We kind of felt like we were the underdogs because we were new," Conroy says. "The finalists were so different from each other and were equally good that we honestly had no clue we were going to win."
But don't mistake this young band to be amateur-sounding. From the viola to drums, this six-member band is comprised of talented musicians.
Conroy describes the band as orchestrated, upbeat and melodic. The 22-year-old's vocals are delicate and powerful. The band's infusion of keyboards and sleigh bells add to the ambient arrangement. Conroy says her musical influences include Bright Eyes, Rufus Wainwright and Neutral Milk Hotel.
Since winning Farmer's Ball, Conroy, her partner, Joshua Landau, and the other band members have continued crafting their skills, playing shows and recording. They expect to
have a single released in about three months. "We've been getting a lot of good press and it's been very unexpected," Conroy says. "It's very surreal."
You can hear the band's melodic tunes at 10 p.m. tonight at the Eighth St, Taproom, 801 New Hampshire St.

best of the worst // BOTTLED VERSUS TAP
Whether it comes from your sink or a plastic bottle, water is a necessary part of health. But what's the best way to get it?
Culligan Premium bottled water, starts out as tap water but goes through several different processes to make it more "pure" and have a smoother taste for drinking, says Bobby Richworth, Culligan's bottled water manager.
Fluoride, which studies say contributes to dental health, is not added to Culligan's drinking water.
A carbon filter, followed by a water softener, then reverse osmosis all remove different solids or chemicals such as chlorine and lead that cause taste or odor. Delonization removes the final impurities and leaves the water too pure to drink without causing an upset stomach. That is when Culligan adds magnesium, potassium and calcium for a "smooth taste."
The tap water that goes through the plant in Kansas City, Mo., tests for 272 different constituents every day, says Lorene Linzsay, laboratory manager for the water services department.
"If you're drinking tap water and you're getting fluoride that is proven beneficial for dental health. However, youre also getting several other chemicals such as chlorine and
other dissolved solids," Richworth says.
The cost of tap water is more economical than paying for bottled water, Linzsay says.
"I think people get a very high-quality product for a very low price when they drink tap water," she says.
Re-usable canteens are available to make tap waer portable.
There doesn't seem to be any noticeable health advantages to either choice, but because tap water is much less expensive, it is a better fit for the college student.

Tap that? Water is key to good health, but is tap water or bottled water better for you? Tap water is certainly more cost-effective, though bottled water may go through more filtering.

REVIEW

music review // LOS CAMPESINOS! — 'ROMANCE IS BORING' (ARTS & CRAFTS) KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption.
Reviewing an album is an interesting task, at least for me. Crammed between classes, work, and the daily grind, usually when I sit down to take a look at an album. I have to focus and make sure I hear all of the minimalist additions that are the difference between a good album and a spectaculare it. It takes a fair amount of effort to really analyze it and offer a fair critique.
However, with Los Campesinos! I really never have a problem concentrating.
Their last album, *We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed*, allowed you to just go through the album and absorb it, and then when you wanted to listed to it another time through (which you would) you could pick up on a multitude of details that just simply seemed invisible before.
Romance Is Boring doesn't change that a bit. Gareth Campesinos' subtle lyrical additions are just as prevalent ("More post-coital, less post-rock") as before, and sonically, it's absolutely as solid as previous albums.
Their guitars have the tone set to 10, locked on the bridge pickup, the keyboards still have that bloody quality, and it's wonderful. They still have the self-deprecating lyrics, the teenage adrenaline, and the catchy hooks that made me get into them in the first place.
Sure, it doesn't really branch out too much from *We Are Beautiful*, but you know what they say about things that aren't broken ...

A
music review // BEACH HOUSE - 'TEEN DREAM'
KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. (NONESUCH)
The words "teen dream," evoke images of high school, coming-of-age tales, and both the good and the bad of teenage existence. Similarly, the album Teen Dream captures that tumult and brings to mind the beautiful, bright reminiscing of young and carefree days as well as the longing that accompany those recollections.
Teen Dream is Beach House's third full-length album since their inception in 2004, and true to adage, it's a charm. Each song is beautiful, rich and listenable. The duo, made up of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, create dream-pop that boasts an absorbing, ambitious interaction between Legrand's voice and the keyboard and guitar melodies that give the album its lovely bur moody feel.
This skilled interaction is evident immediately. The starter track, "Zebra," directs the album down its dream-ridden track from the get-go, with music and instrumentation that are as meaningful and earnest as the exotic verses themselves. The duo's talent also shines through on the album's first single, "Used to Be." another nostalgic title that is fitting for the song that follows.
From the first track to the last, the album skillfully embodies this pairing of hope and sorrow.
"Real Love" is a soulful track, and the album closes with "Take Care," a suitable farewell to the sentimentality and beauty that permeate Teen Dream. And after listening to this engaging, fulfilling album, the final note finds me wishing that every dream sounded this good.

movie review // 'THE MESSENGER'
This year's Academy Award nominations, as with years past, include a mix of mainstream Hollywood movies and independent fare. Sometimes it can be easy to overlook the smaller films in favor of more accessible, less demanding fare. But these independent features shouldn't be ignored. They've been nominated for a reason. The Messenger, up for awards in the best original screenplay and best supporting actor categories, is one of these.
The Messenger is a war drama about soldiers assigned to deliver news of casualties to army families. Will Montgomery (Ben Foster) is a staff sergeant recently returned from Iraq, where he earned war hero status. Upon his arrival he's assigned to work with Tony Stone (Woody Hartelson) as a messenger bearing news of soldiers' deaths. Tony warns Will to stay emotionless and detached from the families he speaks to, but it's not easy. Things get complicated after Will forms an attraction to a young Army widow (Samantha Morton). Along the way, The Messenger also explores the complexities of Will and Tony's relationship, and Will's own difficulties adjusting to life back home.
It often tough for audiences to get genuinely invested in films about the Iraq war, and also difficult for these movies to avoid putting politics before story-telling. Director Oren Moverman, who also co-wrote the script, manages to mostly avoid a grandstanding. He does this by creating a story that focuses on human experience and relationships rather than debating the rightness or wrongness of the war in Iraq. It also doesn't hurt that he gets top-notch performances from his actors. Both Foster and Harrelson, who received an Oscar nod for his work, bring touching, multi-layered interpretations to their roles that make the audience see them as real people-likeable characters as familiar as a relative or high school classmate.
The Messenger is a surprisingly gentle film that tackles a big subject with a realistic, respectful approach. It may not be a visual dazzler like Avarat or action-packed like Inglourious Basterds, but it's the kind of movie that sticks with the viewer. It's the kind of movie that, though it may be small, cannot be ignored.

Romance can either bloom or bust on Valentine's Day
BY NANCY WOLENS nwolens@kansan.com
Love
"Valentine's Day poses an opportunity for people to initiate romantic relationships," said Kunkel. "In terms of intensifying a relationship, it also poses a good opportunity because people feel like it's a time to be romantic."
Whether you're in a relationship or not, Valentine's Day can be a great time to stimulate romance. But sometimes the day is more stressful than sentimental.
Although the day can be a great opportunity to further a romantic relationship, Kunkel said holidays like Valentine's Day can put additional tension on newer couples.
Adrianne Kunkel, associate professor of communication studies, has researched how people negotiate different phases of their romantic relationships, specifically those phases within new relationships.
"It can put extra pressure on daters to advance a relationship emotionally or sexually when they may not be ready to do so". Kunkel said. "Thus, post-holiday angst can cause some daters to have regrets or feelings of sadness and disappointment."
Kunkel said the way people express romantic feelings through gifts can vary. Sometimes the small stuff or the special card can be much more meaningful than the fancy gift or extensive dinner, especially from a college student's perspective, she said.
Love
Kunkel said our society advocates romance during Valentine's Day, which creates cultural expectations that there will be some form of gift giving.
"I think it can be a really great thing," Kunkel said. "But it could also be really hard on some people who are alone, who don't have an opportunity to be with someone."

Aerospace class builds plane for California competition
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Andrew Noyes grew up in Wichita, a city nicknamed the Air Capital of the World.
Living in a city that houses a number of business aviation companies - Beechcraft and Cessna, two forces in the private aviation world, both call Wichita home planted a seed in Noyes' head from a young age. He wanted to design and build airplanes.
Wichita, and having people in the industry always around and just hearing stories from them, this has always been what I wanted to do," said Noyes, a senior.
Noyes and 11 other team members have been designing and building a remote control airplane they named "Double Hawk" since September. They'll fly in the Society of Automotive Engineer's Aero Design West competition
"Ever since, growing up in
Now, in his Aerospace Engineering 522 class, he gets to do it.
"It's great to get to compete," Nate Wilke, a senior from Dallas, said. "We've had opportunities to, but never gone, so to get to do this in my fifth year with this team and a supervisor that's taking us out there is really cool."
March 5-7 in Van Nuys, Calif. They will compete against schools from as far away as India, and as nearby as Kansas State. There are 44 teams registered for this year's competition.
Class supervisor Ron Garrett said students have been going to
competitions like this for about 15 years. In those 15 trips they've come away with nine victories.
Garrett said the real thrill for the students was building the airplane entirely on their own.
"These students will actually build the plane that will go to competition, which is fun for them," Garrett said. "It's not allowed to receive help from a practicing professional."
The first step of designing the aircraft is putting together a prototype. This team designed and

Program educates students about LGBT community
BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com
This semester the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is seeking to educate KU students about what it means to be gay. With its own terminology and etiquette, students in the LGBT community feel it's important for others to understand them.
"There are a lot of misconceptions in the straight community about what being queer entails,"
said Saida Bonifield, graduate intern and LGBT resource center coordinator. "I think it's important to provide a forum to ask questions that students might otherwise be uncomfortable asking."
In order to educate students and promote respect, the LGBT resource center has paired with Queers & Allies to create a program called the Safe Space Ally Program. It's a peer education program that teaches KU students about LGBT issues that may affect
them in the classroom, said Rachel Gadd-Nelson, education outreach coordinator for Queers & Allies. The program held its first workshop last week.
"We want to create enough knowledge and terminology that they can begin to ask questions," said Gadd-Nelson, a junior from Kansas City, Kan. "Making it peered is going to make a big difference. It's going to hit people on a more personal note."
The program, which takes place
in a classroom setting, takes about 50 minutes to complete. This makes it ideal for lecturers and professors to incorporate the Safe Space Ally Programs into their curricula or lesson plans for the semester. At the beginning of this semester, lecturers and professors were told about the program and invited to request the workshop. The program is being used mostly in PRE 101 classes, which help familiarize new students with the University. Student housing employees were
also informed about the program and have the option to provide workshops to on-campus residents.
The idea for the Safe Space Ally Program stems from a program that is already active on campus, called Safe Zone. This program allows administrators and faculty members to create a safe area for LGBT students. Faculty members that go through Safe Zone training are given placards that show LGBT students that they have been
through training and are allies of the LGBT community. Bonifield said the LGBT resource center received a lot of requests for a student component. Creating the program allows the LGBT community to integrate the elements of the faculty program for college-age students.
"We want to educate students about LGBT issues," Gadd-Nelson said. "That's the bottom line."

Weather poses challenge for florists
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VALENTINE'S DAY
Shops are marshaling SUVs and four-wheel-drive vehicles to make deliveries in storm-battered cities like Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, which virtually shut down when a pair of blizzards dumped record-breaking snow.
PHILADELPHIA — Snow-clogged streets and closed office buildings are posing twin logistical challenges for Mid-Atlantic florists as Valentine's Day approaches, and some worry it won't be a rosy holiday unless sales bloom when the shoveling ends.
"This is probably the worst, there's no question about it," said David Hope, owner of Flower Gallery Inc. in Washington. "We're jokingly saying we want to suggest they pass a law to change Valentine's Day to August."
Though Valentine's Day always comes in wintry February, the combination of it falling on a long weekend, plus massive office closings, unplowed streets and weather-delayed floral shipments has put some florists on edge.
But most businesses have been closed because of the snow, which means a lot of rerouting to homes in suburbs that may not be well-plowed. And Monday is a federal holiday — Presidents Day — when government offices will again be shuttered.
When Feb. 14 falls on a weekend, florists say, many bouquet senders want the flowers delivered a day or two earlier so the recipient gets them at work in front of envious colleagues.
"I wish somebody would say, 'All of next week is officially Valentine's Week.' Hope said, "Every florist has hundreds of roses, and whether they're all going to sell or not is the big question."
MADE IN CHINA
Rosa Hernandez prepares a Valentine's Day bouquet at Caruso Florist in Washington Thursday. The shop rented four-wheel-drive vehicles in order to pick up employees and make deliveries in the wake of back-to-back snow storms.

Bare feet were drawn in chalk on the floor of the Homegrown Market on Orcas Island, Wash., after the store was broken into overnight. The burglary, and the fact that a stolen airplane was found at the Orcas Island airport are leading to speculation that Colton Harris-Moore, known as Washington state's infamous teenager "barefoot bandit," may be back in action.

Barefoot teenager accused of scores of burglaries
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — A stolen airplane found in the San Juan Islands and chalk-outline feet drawn all over a burgled grocery store suggest that Washington's infamous teenage "barefoot burglar" is back at it. Authorities across western Washington state have been hoping to catch alleged bandit Colton Harris-Moore since the lanky 18-year-old escaped from a halfway house in April 2008.
Since then, he's suspected in scores of burglaries, many of them near his home on Camano Island and in the San Juan Islands north of Seattle. Investigators believe he more recently turned to joyriding in airplanes.
Surveillance video of some burglaries showed the culprit barefoot — hence the monitor
Harris-Moore's legend has only grown since last fall, with a

Market on Orcas Island, told the Associated Press someone broke into the store Wednesday night, and its owner arrived Thursday to find large chalk-out feet drawn all over the floor. Cash was taken — Pierson wouldn't say how much — and a security system
scrawled message: "C-YA!"
Pierson said that if the perpetrator wasn't Harris-Moore, who is suspected in a spate of burglaries in the same neighborhood last fall, it was clearly someone impersonating him.
"We use chalk on our deli board, and he apparently saw the chalk on the fish counter," Pierson said. "He took everything out of our dessert case. We had a whole tray of raw croissants with fillings."
San Juan County sheriff's officials are also investigating a plane from Skagit County that was left at the airport on Orcas Island Wednesday or Thursday.
Last fall, after a stolen small plane crash-landed at the airport, Harris-Moore was caught on surveillance video breaking into a grocery store. A hardware store, bar, coffee-shop and bank were also hit at that time.
A few weeks later, a Cessna was stolen from a rural airport in Idaho and crash-landed near Granite Falls, Wash., when it ran out of fuel on what may have been a course back toward Camano Island.
In the airport hangar in Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, the plane's owner found actual, rather than chalk, bare footprints, including some on a wall. The culprit had apparently put his feet up while eating.

Crew averts winter woes
100
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
A trampled snow mound rests between Allen Fieldhouse and the Burge Union parking garage. Large snow piles can suffocate the grass beneath them and cause snow mold to grow and kill grass root structures.
Karsten Lunde/KANSAN
nroesler@kansan.com
University of Kansas grounds crews are hacking away at a mounting problem on campus lawns this winter after multiple heavy snow storms.
Snow plows piled heaps of snow on KU parking lots, sidewalks and grassy lawns in December in order to make the roads on campus driveable. Crews are now cutting into these heaps with shovels and dispersing them across the lawns.
"We're making room in case another snow storm hits, as well as protecting the grass from snow mold," said Ben Lowe, a 22-year-old from Lawrence working for the facilities operations department.
Snow mold is a type of bacteria that grows when a lack of oxygen suffocates the grass while the snow weighs down on it, which causes concerns for those in charge of landscaping. In severe cases, the mold can completely kill the blades of grass and their root structure.
Mike Lang, the director of landscaping, said these mounds of snow present a multitude of problems. The snow kills patches of grass across campus and presents problems for pedestrians and his grounds crew.
"Snow piled next to sidewalks can melt across the walkways during the day, then freeze over night." Lang said.
This ice creates a hazard for students walking to classes and can also damage the sidewalks if the water gets into cracks and freezes, he said.
Lang has worked as director of landscaping for nine years and said this winter was one of the worst he's seen in terms of snow fall.
Lang said he knew that more
snow was bound to come this winter and that he would need to make sure room was available to plow it off the streets.
Some of the bigger snow mounds on campus are impossible to spread out because they are located in parking lots. Lang said parking on campus is too important to sacrifice any spaces by spreading snow across them. He said if another big storm hits.
parking lots will be the most affected because there will not be much room to clear that snow.
The snowfall has created more labor for Lang's crew, including Lowe, who was one of about seven workers clearing piles.
"You definitely feel it in your back at the end of the day," Lowe said.

Group to request domestic partner employee benefits
UNIVERSITY SENATE

A task force seeking to extend employee benefits to domestic partners at the University of Kansas will present research findings and make a recommendation to the executive council of the University Senate March 2.

The task force is primarily looking to extend health benefits to domestic partners of University employees, but also hopes to address the way the University defines what qualifies as sick leave or medical leave of absence, said Natalie Parker, co-chair of the task force for domestic partner benefits.

In addition to remaining competitive by recruiting top faculty and staff, Farran said extending benefits promotes equality.

Clinton'in good spirits'after scare
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Former President Bill Clinton had two stents inserted Thursday to prop open a clogged heart artery after being hospitalized with chest pains, an adviser said.
Clinton, 63, "is in good spirits and will continue to focus on the work of his foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts," said adviser Douglas Band.
OAKLAND
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton left Washington and headed to New York to be with her husband, who underwent the procedure at New York Presbyterian Hospital.
Stents are tiny mesh scaffolds used to keep an artery open after it is unclogged in an angioplasty procedure. Doctors thread a tube through a blood vessel in the groin to a blocked artery, inflate a balloon to flatten the clog, and slide the stent into place.
UN special envoy for Haiti and former president Bill Clinton waves to reporters after his arrival in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Feb. 5. Clinton was admitted to a New York hospital Thursday and received two stents to open a cloned heart artery.
That is a different treatment from what Clinton had in 2004, when clogged arteries first landed him in the hospital. He underwent quadruple bypass surgery because of four blocked arteries, some of which had squeezed almost completely shut.
Angioplasty, which usually includes placing stents, is one of the most common medical procedures done worldwide. More than half a million stents are placed each year in the United States.
With bypass or angioplasty, patients often need another procedure years down the road because arteries often reclog.
"It's not unexpected" for Clinton to need another procedure now, said Dr. Clyde Yancy, cardiologist at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas and president of the
American Heart Association
The sections of arteries and veins used to create detours around the original blockages tend to develop clogs five to 10 years after a bypass, he explained. New blockages also can develop in new areas.
"This kind of disease is progressive. It isn't a one-time event, so it really points out the need for constant surveillance" and treating risk factors such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure, he said.
Doctors will have to watch Clinton closely for signs of excessive bleeding from the spot in the leg where doctors inserted a catheter, said Dr. Spencer King, a cardiologist at St. Joseph's Heart and Vascular Institute in Atlanta and past president of the American College of Cardiology.
Complications are rare. The death rate from non-emergency angioplasty is well under 1 percent. King said.

RECYCLING
City still discussing possible curbside recycling services
Private companies offer curbside pick-up, KU has a drop-off
BY ALEESE KOPF akopf@kansan.com
Chris Scafe, owner of Sunflower Recycling, picks up recyclables at 1644 W 20th Terrace. Sunflower Recycling is one of several local businesses that pick up recyclables from homes and businesses for a monthly fee.
Place plastic in one bin, tin and aluminum in another. Put chipboard and white paper together. Separate newspapers from the magazines and catalogs.
Lauren Ashman and her roommates are very familiar with this once-a week process.
But instead of getting in the car on a cold, snowy day and hauling her recycling to drop-off centers like the one at Wal-Mart, Ashman, a junior from St. Louis, pays $15 a month to a private curbside recycling company.
While neither the city of Lawrence or the University offer curbside recycling services, both are looking at ways to encourage recycling efforts by working with what they have. The city discussed engaging in a marketing campaign to spread awareness and increase usage with private businesses
"We were really bad about actually taking our recycling to Wal-Mart," Ashman said. "I think at one point we accumulated recycling in our garage and basement for an entire semester."
already offering the service. The KU Environmental Stewardship Program is looking at ways to improve its drop-off system and to improve efficiency.
City commissioners are still reviewing a plan made by the Sustainability Advisory Board last week. The plan seeks to increase
curbside recycling by creating an advertising campaign educating people about existing services, purchasing uniform recycling bins for all companies and
"Students should take advantage of the service especially all the big houses throughout the student ghetto."

"One goal was to find the best way to increase recycling in the city," Lehrman said. "With a number of different options, you're going to find one that meets your needs."
requiring those companies to register with the city and provide data on the amount of material they are recycling.
Currently these options include five privately-owned curbside services ranging in cost from
Matthew Lehrman, chair of the Sustainability Advisory Board, said that the board has debated various proposals for years and that the commissioners gave positive feedback to the official recommendation made last Tuesday. But Lehrman said the board decided to work with private recycling companies because the city wasn't likely to create a program of its own in the short term due to financial reasons.
EZRA HUSCHER Salina senior
in cost from $15 to $20 for weekly pick-ups.
E z r a Huscher, sustainability coordinator of the student cooperative Ad Astra, said her house has been using Tree Hugger Recycling's
curbside service since 2005. Huscher, a senior from Salina, splits the $20 fee between the other nine people living in the house. She said the service was worth it for students living with roommates because they could share the cost.
"Students should take advantage of the service, especially all the big houses throughout the student ghetto." Huscher said. "Curbside recycling services already come through once a week after all."
KU Recycling offers a drop-off trailer in the West Park & Ride lot, but the trailer doesn't accept
glass. Celeste Hoins, program manager for the Environmental Stewardship Program, said that she hoped to accept glass in the future, but that the program needed other improvements before it could expand the materials it handled.
"Right now, improving the drop-off system and making the most use of time and resources would be the most efficient way to move forward," she said.
Hoins said that there was an interest in providing curbside
recycling to KU students, but that the program doesn't have the money for the service. She said funding could come from a student fee, but added that that wouldn't be fair to students who commute to campus or who don't recycle.
Insurance, liability and legal issues are also issues with providing the service, she said.

SEXUAL HEALTH
She doesn't feel comfortable talking to her granddaughter about her vagina. But her granddaughter keeps on asking. Finally, she tells her about an incident that shaped her future relationship to her own body.
As a young girl, she was making out with a boy when he started to make fun of her for getting wet while being aroused by him. She was deeply embarrassed and from then on she has tried to deny the existence of her vapua.
After telling her granddaughter the story, she feels liberated because she was able to share her experience with someone else and realize why she didn't want to talk about her vagina in the first place.
After seeing this and other scenes of the "Vagina Monologues," many women often come up to its writer and director, Eve Ensler, and tell her how her play has helped them value the presence of their own vaginas.
Ensler first staged the play, a collection of interviews with women about their sexual experiences, in 1996. Ensler based them on interviews with more than 200 women.
At first, she performed all roles by herself. Now, the monologues and interviews are performed by celebrities and laymen on stages all around the world.
The play also triggered the creation of "V-Day," a grassroots movement dedicated to the light

Lets Talk about Sex
BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI
In an interview with Women. com, Enlser said how her own brutal household inspired her to become active in ending violence against women. After her personal experiences with violence, she became obsessed with rape and incest. The "Vagina Monologues" have helped women to realize how important sexuality, and the mal-treatment thereof, is for their whole life, she said.
Tonight, Enlser's witty and moving tale of women and their vaginas comes to our campus. A multifarious cast takes the audience on a journey through the web of a woman's fears and desires. The main focal point: her vagina.
The play consists of interviews with women about experiences with their own sexuality, both positive and negative. The topics range from the first time a woman sees her vagina in a mirror to the gripping tale of a rape.
I hadn't seen "The Vagina Monologues" on stage before. By the time it ended, I went through various stages of laughter and empathy. When the actresses made jokes, I laughed; when they told stories about rape or other acts of violence, I became sad. The actresses played their roles with an admirable self-confidence and pleasure in what they were doing.
I hope the play will provide, if not a life changing experience, at least a night of entertainment and enlightenment.
Bledowski is a graduate student from Cracow, Poland, in journalism.

The art in candy hearts
Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, and everybody is wondering the
same thing: What will this year's new hot candy hearts say?
The Necco candy company has been making conversation hearts since 1902. Apparently, back in the day sayings such as "kiss me" and "be true" were all the rage.
But the youths of today want something new, exciting and relevant printed on these chalky tokens of love.
"Be true?" What's that supposed to mean? Lol, am I right? Please translate that into English, Mr. Shakespeare.
That's where I come in. I have come up with a number of fresh sayings that Necco should put on their rock-hard, borderline-inedible pieces of "candy"
Fortunately, candy hearts have evolved over the years. "Fax me" was a sensation when it debated in the 80s, and everybody talked about "girl power" when it first appeared back in 2000.
"Let's Smush" — This year, MTV's "Jersey Shore" revolutionized television by putting a bunch of insufferable, attention-seeking morons in the same house and
These sayings will not only speak to our generation, but will surely transcend time and be relevant for decades to come. Unlike, say, "be true."

"Plug Ur Hair" — "Avatar" is the highest-grossing movie of all time. I haven't seen it (why go to the theater when "Must Love Dogs" is on TB5?), but evidently the NaVi make emotional connections by plugging their hair into things. Expect your significant other to immediately dunk him or herself in blue paint upon receiving this heart from you.
letting the cameras roll. I'm not entirely certain what "smushing," a term popularized by the show, actually refers to, but I'm sure it's something romantic.
BY ALEX NICHOLS
"U Hav Swagger" — As one of the top swagger experts (swaggspert) in the world, I can attest to the fact that swagger makes the ladies swoon. Let your boyfriend know that you notice when his socks are at maximum swagitude.
"Pants on Ground"—Gen. Larry Platt wrote and performed the old people's anthem of 2002 on "American Idol" in 2010 and
it became a smash hit. Although the original song was about hooligans wearing baggy/saggy pants, the phrase takes on a whole new meaning on Valentine's Day. Though Mr. Platt despies gold in people's mouths, he possesses a silver tongue, and his beautiful poetry will surely help you seduce your beloved.
"Shamwow Me" — Though Shamwows may, in reality, be slightly less effective at wiping up spills than tissue paper, this candy heart will soak up your significant other's affection, guaranteed. Also, it's a pun, and ladies love puns. Right, ladies? Ladies?
Anyway, keep a lookout for these soon-to-be smash hits on Sunday and, thanks to my impeccable cultural foresight, on every Valentine's Day for the rest of eternity. Now get out there and smush.

POLITICS
European socialism still far from America
The obsolete fear of socialism in this country is bizarre — especially from an outside point of view.
I'm now better able to analyze the matter from the inside, having lived in this country for a while now, but this irrational fear doesn't seem any less bizarre.
Recent accusations of socialism are just as awkward and untruthful as some post-WWI propaganda. It has the same fantastic approach as telling little children they better go to sleep or the bogeyman is coming to get them.
When I see propaganda stating the current American government has a "socialist" agenda, I can't help but ask myself: Are the people and/or organizations sponsoring this information antiquated or ignorant, or do they just want to mislead?
For those spreading these misleading announcements, a brief look at some history books would elucidate my point.
Socialist governments are remnants of the past. Socialist (or Communist) movements that became governments failed and proved to be incapable of putting to reality the theoretically beautiful principles they predicated. We're talking about dictatorships that not only restrained basic human rights but also killed people who opposed their government.
So, a closer look at the socialism history and process will bring us to what's become of the movement after the fall of those governments: the social-democracy.
Cutting to the chase, social democrats in Europe radically changed socialism, combining the free market with social policies. This blend of concepts and flexibility is what kept them in power for so many years in countries like Sweden.
Read this, from the new Declaration of Principles in the 18th Congress of the Socialist International in 1989:
Sounds good to me.
"Democratic socialism is an international movement for freedom, social justice and solidarity. Its goal is to achieve a peaceful world where these basic values can be enhanced and where each individual can live a meaningful life with the full development of his or her personality and talents and with the guarantee of human and civil rights in a democratic framework of society."
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva comes from a leftist background rooted in his history as a labor union leader. Most of his constituents expected a "socialist" revolution when he took office, and thus the revocation of neoliberal economic measures the previous government took. He did not live out these expectations (thank God).
When he kept the liberal economic orientation from the previous government, the media and the people accused him of "having a capitalist agenda."
There are many sides to the same issue. Governments, by definition, are supposed to "regulate" fields of society.
I'm not saying we should geaux democratic-socialist. Let me say again a curious thing about Brazil (where I'm from), regarding this ideological quarrel.
Why choose people to represent us if they can't create rules to guarantee our welfare?
Regulation doesn't mean socialism. Capitalism doesn't mean exploitation.
By 2010, after so many economical and political comings and goings, we should be able to realize and absorb a convenient truth: To oppose ideas that are complementary doesn't help us in the difficult and necessary task of (re)building a fair society, no matter if you're black or white, capitalist or socialist.

FACEOFF: Valentine's Day
15
As Valentine's Day is approaching, I hear cries of discontent all around from my bachelor buddies. I see their disdain for chocolate and any gift with heart patterns.
However, for singles,
Valentine's Day is an excuse
to shut oneself in a room with
Ramen Noodles and depressing
Lifetime TV movies.
But, come on, it's not Doomsday yet! To couples, every day can be special. But, of course, Feb. 14 is the official day for sweetness and affection to overflow. I wish these happy pairs the best.
Call on friends and celebrate! Valentine's Day isn't a day only for "valentines," but for everyone. Go hug a friend and express love. Isn't that the real point, after all?

This day is a Hallmark holiday filled with heart-shaped boxes of chocolates and cheesy cards with lines such as "Be my Valentine" and "I just want you to know how much I love you."
While it's good to express feelings, especially love, why set aside one day to do that? If it has to be Valentine's Day to say incredibly love y words and affection with over-the-top actions, then why not just make Valentine's Day every day?

VALENTINE'S DAY
Singles search for love at SUA speed dating event
BY ELLIOT METZ emetz@kansan.com
It seems like everyone has a favorite pick-up line.
And last night at Student Union Activities' Date Night, everyone was ready to use them. Some of the one-liners were brilliant in their simplicity. Michael Packard, a senior from Salina, went with the Anchorman classic, "Do you know who I am?"
On the other hand, some people decided it was best to go big or go home.
Molly Iler, a junior from Summit, N.J., opted to go big with her line "I'm pretty effing awesome. You should want this."
As KeSha's "Tik Tok" and Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance" echoed through the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union, 60 singles milled around hoping to, at the very least, have a good time.
Each table had a balloon with a playing card written on it, and after 10 minutes at a table, each single would receive a assignment for their next table in the form of corresponding playing card. The singles had a notecard on which they could write the name of anyone they were interested in talking to again. If there was mutual interest, the SUA workers of the event would send both singles an e-mail with the person's phone number.
But some people decided not to stick to the rules.
Michael Packard and Angela Sutton, a freshman from Marysville, got paired up at two tables in a row. With time running short at the last table, Packard went for the home run: he asked for her phone number and out to a dinner date at a Mexican restaurant.
Packard, however, considered last night their first official date.
"It will sure be a great story."
Sutton replied when she was asked how she would remember the night.
One topic on everyone's mind was the true value of Valentine's Day. Contrary to movie clichés, not all women are big fans of the holiday.
"I just don't like it at all," said Jeni Burrows, a freshman from Belle Plaine. "It's all about the teddy bears and the chocolate and the jewelry."
By that same token, there are men out there who place a high value the romantic holiday.
"I'm a romantic, so I love it," said Marcus Hollinger, a sophomore from Lexington, Ky., said. "The whole concept of love is starting to die out, and it's important that it stay strong. So whether I'm single, in a relationship or taking a woman out for the first time, I just love it."

Explosion under sidewalk sends flames up building
JOHSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — An explosion in a transformer underneath a Manhattan sidewalk sent flames up the front of a landmark building Thursday, shattering windows and blackening the front of several stories. No injuries were reported.
Fighthouses hose away broken glass in front of a blackened building at Sixth Avenue and 20th Street, after an electrical transformer underneath the sidewalk exploded Tuesday in New York.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Consolidated Edison spokesman Christopher Olert said the transformer was in a vault below the front of the seven-story building. An investigation was under way into the cause.
Deputy Fire Chief James Daly said firefighters were initially called out for a report of smoke coming out of a manhole.
Chance Dibben/KANSAN
He said firefighters had been out all night to deal with manhole fires because of runoff from snow and salt coming into contact with electrical grids below ground.
Carol Paplin, who works for an office furniture dealership on the sixth floor of the building on Sixth Avenue in the Chelsea district, said she detected a sulfur odor as she approached the building at 10:30 a.m., but as she got to the entrance the smell faded and she went inside.
Firefighters arrived at 10:44 a.m. to respond to the report of smoke and evacuated a Radio Shack store, Daly said.
Building workers were told via the public address system that there was a fire on the sidewalk but not to be alarmed, Paplin said.
About 11:20, the explosion happened, with the fireball reaching three stories high.
"It was a pretty powerful explosion," Daly said.
Another announcement instructed those in the building to evacuate using a back staircase.
About 50 to 100 people were evacuated from the building.
It took firefighters an hour and 45 minutes to bring the blaze under control, but Daly said there was minimal damage to the building because it is fireproof.
The building is part of the Ladies' Mile Historic District, so named for the shops and stores that were along parts of Broadway toward the end
The structure, known as the Simpson, Crawford and Simpson building,"is an incredibly important building historically and architecturally," said Elisabeth de Bourbon, spokeswoman for the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Kansas splits three meets Jayhawks head to Air Force, Arkansas and ISU. TRACK AND FIELD | 3B
COMMENTARY
KU fans should pause for Self satisfaction
PAGE 1B
Take a moment to appraise the state of college basketball. Traditional powers are
traditional powers are down across the board. North Carolina is struggling to stay above 500. Connecticut has been underwhelming at best. Last year's overall No.1 seed, Louisville, is in the same boat. UCLA sits at 11-12 with little hope of resuscitating its season even in the miserable Pac-10.
Now take a moment to appraise the state of Kansas basketball.
The Jayhawks have won five consecutive conference championships and they're on their way to a sixth. They haven't had a losing season since before most* of their current players were born.
*1983 - I'm looking at you, Mornin-
tstar.*
In a year like this, when some basketball kingdoms fall around him, it's a good time to appreciate the coaching job of Bill Self and his staff.
SENIOR MOMENTS
The easiest way to do this — and this is not intended as a cheap shot at Roy Williams, who is a phenomenal basketball coach – is to look at this year's defending champion, North Carolina, as opposed to last year's defending champion, Kansas.
The Jayhawks lost six of their top seven players off the 2008 National Championship team. They brought in a highly touted recruiting class, but one that lacked a surefire superstar. The freshman that ended up being the best player last year, Tyshawn Taylor, was actually at the bottom of the barrel, disregarding junior college transfers.
One of their top returnees was a promising, if untested, center named Cole Aldrich.
Similarly, the Tar Heels lost four of their top-five contributors off the 2009 National Championship team.

They, too, brought in a highly touted recruiting class, one that maybe looked even stronger on paper than Kansas' class of 2008.
One of their top returnees was a promising, if untested, power forward named Ed Davis.
But the programs went in opposite directions.
The Jayhawks rallied around the talent they had left and became a top-25 team despite low expectations at the beginning of the year. Cole Aldrich learned from one of the best college big men in recent memory in assistant coach Danny Manning and became a dominant center, one of the best in the country. They overachieved and made it to the Sweet 16.
Carolina, on the other hand, has collapsed. Despite being ranked in the top six in both preseason polls, the Tar Heels have tumbled below receiving votes and they're sitting at 13-11. Ed Davis has been the picture of inconsistency - brilliant one day, invisible the next.
Barring a dramatic turnaround (don't get your hopes up), they won't make the NCAA tournament this year.
And in case you weren't sure, Kansas will.

Jayhawks playing out of position
BY MAX ROTHMAN

Out of sight. Out of mind. Out of position.
Kansas bailed out No. 3 Nebraska when the Jayhawk guards dispensed turnovers like Pez candies. Kansas must hold on to the ball Saturday if it wants to bounce back against No. 14 Texas.
In the closing minutes of Wednesday's 67-60 defeat, coach Bonnie Henrickson handed the point guard duties to shooting guard Sade Morris and surrendered the lead.
"They had every opportunity to
The Cornhuskers moved to 22-0 overall and 9-0 in the Big 12 with taut ball pressure and by taking what the Jayhawks gave them.
But the Jayhawks came out the locker room and hit their first 11 shot attempts. They even led 53-48 with just more than eight minutes remaining. From then on, rather than protecting the lead with ball security, the youthful Jayhawks were careless. The Cornhuskers proceeded to swipe seven of their 10 steals in that time.
Kansas trailed 30-20 in a demoralizing first half, shooting just six-of-23 and converting just one field goal in the final 11:40.

"They turned up the heat and forced turnovers." Henryrick said.

Four to go for Collins
Senior guard's storied career is coming to a close
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c/ thibodeaux
With just a few games left in Allen Fieldhouse this season, the Jayhawks know their star point guard's time is coming to an end.
When senior guard Sherron Collins and the jayhawks host Iowa State on Saturday, it will be the first of four home games left in his tenure at Kansas.
"Just knowing that it's almost coming to an end — this is going to be his last couple games coming up — we're all going to get emotional," sophomore forward Marcus Morris said.
As the home games dwindle, Morris, as well as other players, have seen a change in Collins and his approach to each game: his intensity level is up, he is appreciative of his teammates for each victory, and he is more
emotional.
"He's always counting down, he's always reminding us," Morris said. "Playing at Colorado he said, 'Thanks fellas, this is my last game at Colorado, thanks for making it a good one.' He said the same thing at Texas."
When coach Bill Self recruited Collins, he said he was expecting to eventually have the best guard in the country. Already with a
national championship to his name and poised for another this season, Collins is the player his coach expected
"He has that become in our eyes," Self said. "Certainly, if
thought Collins would be this emotional about leaving Kansas
But something about his time spent in Kansas turned that around. Collins' current selflessness and maturity exceeded even his coach's expectation.
"The one thing that has amazed me more than anything else is how Kansas and this place has changed him," Self said. "Not from a competitive standpoint, but from

In his press conference Thursday, Self said Collins came to the team as a freshman with a chip on his shoulder, and he never

Without going into his own emotions or NBA intentions, junior center Cole Aldrich said it was easy to overlook how meaningful
"Knowing that there's only four more times to walk through the tunnel and have all the fans cheer

for him, it's going to be a really special time for him," Aldrich said.
Collins will leave behind one of the greatest legacies in Kansas basketball history. As of now, he has a 120-16 record as a layhawk, which is a .882 winning percentage.
In the history of Kansas basketball, the best four year stretch was the 1995-98 seasons when the school went 123-17 (.879 winning percentage). Collins is on pace to surpass that.
"He's trying to leave the best way you can leave, and that's by winning," junior guard Brady Morningstar said.
While the players said they have seen a change in Collins demeanor or the past couple of weeks, Self said he has seen a change four years in the making.
"Now I think he will be very emotional from this point forward thinking about it," Self said. "I think this place means that much to him, which is pretty exciting for me to see."

Danish goalkeeper transfers to Wizards
COPENHAGEN — Danish goalie Jimmy Nielsen says he is joining Kansas City Wizards on a one-year contract.
Nielsen's team Veije Boldklub said in a statement Thursday that Nielsen needs to undergo a medical check before switching to the Major League Soccer team.
The Danish club didn't disclose financial details of the transfer.
The 32-year-old Nielsen joined Vejle Boldkclub in January 2008 from Leicester City.

MORNING BREW
Brady's shot a YouTube fave
Messing up free throws is tough. Making them isn't difficult, drawing rim is respectable and even NBA players airball occasionally. Former NBA great Rick Barry shot them underhanded.
So how a clip of Morningstar's free throw gaff against Texas on Monday garnered three million views on YouTube — the most-watched video on Wednesday — and a front page spot on Yahoo.com is truly remarkable.
If you don't remember, Cole Aldrich fouled out of the game after "elbowing" Damion James. James also recorded a foul, so Bill Self had to choose someone to shoot the free throws. With Texas shooting a technical afterward, no Longhorns lined the paint
All eves on Bradv.
As Morningstar rose to shoot the ball, it slipped it on his hands. He recovered to catch it, but lost his balance and fell towards the paint. Realizing he had to shoot before his foot hit the lane, he shot again.
it looked like a kid diving off the diving board for the first time.
"I'm glad I could be a lot of entertainment for people." Morningstar said with a smile Thursday. "Maybe I should start doing movies or sometimes"
Was he try to imitate Cole Aldrich's herky jerky free throw motion?
"That is a good story," Morningstar said. "Actually, that's what I was doing."

about the blooper.
Bill Self said he had never seen anything like the play.
"That one's a hard one for me to really get my arms around," Self said. "I've never seen a guy miss two shots on one free throw attempt. I wonder if he got a rebound. Maybe that's why we out-rebounded them in deadball rebounds because they gave us credit for one when he rebounded his own miss."
The gaff might also serve as a way to clear the Jayhawks head before playing two games in three days once again starting Saturday.
"Brady's the one guy who can handle it because he can laugh at himself," Self said, "and that's definitely worth laughing it."
Morningstar has kept a good attitude about the situation.
"It's a sports blooper," Morningstar said. "I'm sure I will be on Whacked Out Sports for the next ten years."

Self also commented Thursday on Julian Wright's memorable "dunk" attempt against Colorado in 2007.
Wright got a steal and saw open floor in front of him. Self called it "hot-dogging", but it's more hard to watch than anything.
Let's save Wright some embarrassment and just say no dunk was attempted.
"Then he laid on the floor like he was hurt," Self said. "I told the trainer, 'Don't go out there. Make him get up and walk over here by himself.' Sure enough he wasn't hurt, but his pride was seriously damaged."

Doubleheader and recruit visits highlight team's busy weekend
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
twitter.com/kgier
The Kansas women's tennis team is set for a doubleheader on Sunday to take on the University of Iowa at 10 a.m. and the University of South Dakota at 3 p.m. at the Jayhawk Tennis Facility.
"It will be a long, long day," sophomore Erin Wilbert said. "We had a doubleheader last year and I remember it being one of the longest days of my life."
Wilbert's personal plans for success on Sunday include lots of carbs and lots of sleep. The second part of that plan, however, may take a hit because the team will be attending the men's basketball game Saturday night as a part of this weekend's Recruit Den.
At Recruit Den, prospective players meet with advisors, eat
with the team, attend the team's matches, and do other activities like a watch movie or a basketball game with the current athletes.
"It is just trying to sell the program and trying to sell the university," head coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "It is going to be a really exciting weekend."
"I think that whenever they come they see how close we are," Wilbert said. "I think they like that idea."
On her own recruiting trip, Wilbert stayed with senior Kuni Dorn. Dorn joked that Wilbert's stay with her was the reason for her decision to come and play at Kansas.
Being close will help the team get through the matches this weekend.
"It is going to be tough, it is always tough to play two matches a day, but I think we are all in
really good shape," Dorn said. "We have really good strengths and we practice a lot, so it shouldn't be a problem."
The Iowa team that Kansas will face this weekend is led by sophomore Sonja Molnar, who is the 65th-ranked singles player in the country according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. In the summer of 2008, she was the National under 18 singles champion and doubles runner up, and she was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year last spring. The team is 1-1 right now, and will stop in Manhattan to play Kansas State on Saturday.
"We are very excited about getting Iowa here and South Dakota and playing some competitive tennis," Hall-Holt said.

OTTTAWA — Chris Phillips and Alex Kovalev scored in the third period, and Jason Spezza had a goal and two assists in the first in the Ottawa Senators' 6-5 victory over the Washington Capitals on Thursday night.
Brian Elliott made 19 saves to help Ottawa win for the 13th time in 14 games, and hand Washington
its second straight loss after a team-record 14-game winning streak. On Wednesday night in Montreal, the Canadiens beat the Capitals 6-5 in overtime.
Chris Neil scored late in the second to draw Ottawa even at 4. Milan Michalek and Daniel Alfredson also scored for the Senators, up 3-1 after the first.
Alexander Semin scored his third goal of the game—his 29th
of the season — 13:37 into the third to draw Washington within one.
Semyon Varlamov stopped 22 shots in his first game in more than two months.
Semin scored goals 42 seconds apart in the second to give the Capitals a 4-3 lead. Tomas Fleischmann and Jeff Schultz also scored for the Capitals.
Kovalev assisted on Phillips'
seventh goal 2:23 into the third that put the Senators up 5-4. The Russian winger made it 6-4 with his 16th goal on a power play at 7:36.
Semin scored an unassisted goal with 6:23 remaining to make it a one-goal game.
Spezza had three points in the opening period, including his 11th goal in his last 11 games to open the scoring 6:03 in.
Michalek, who assisted on Kovalev's power-play goal in the third, scored his 20th to put the Senators up 2-0 at 10:09.

shooting 49 percent compared to Nebraska's 34 percent and still lost by seven points. The reason: The Jayhawks took 13 fewer shots than Huskers because they committed 19 turnovers, including four in the final three minutes, compared to Nebraska's nine.
"Getting stops on defense helped create our offense," Nebraska junior Dominique Kelley said. "Those three steals at the end helped us get our momentum back."
Senior guards LaChelda Jacobs and Morris were Kansas' culprits in the final minutes.
Jacobs paid little attention to the shot clock, calling plays before she passed the half-court line and organizing screens that rarely worked. Her assorted attempts often ate up at least two-thirds of the shot clock and forced Kansas to take shots that it never wanted. Despite glimpsees of productivity, Jacobs' miscues forced Henrickson to take her true point guard out of the game.
That put Morris, normally a shooting guard, at point guard. She succumbed to Nebraska consistent
pressure and finished the game with seven turnovers, three of which occurred in the final 2:25.
"All five people on the court play together," guard Moncia Engelman said of Nebraska. "They pressure the ball non-stop."
Self-inflicting turnovers aren't foreign to a Henrickson-coached team. The past three seasons under Henrickson, Kansas' turnovers per game mark hovered around 17 to 19. In each of those seasons, Kansas recorded a sub-500 record in the Big 12 and managed to win no more than six of its 16 conference games in any year.
A victory Wednesday could have brought life to a team crippled by injuries. It would have been the signature win on Kansas' NCAA Tournament resume. Instead, they turned over that possibility and again, seem bound to finish with fewer than eight wins in the Big 12.
"In a game where you've got an opportunity to beat a ranked and undefeated team, you've got to find a way to finish," Henrickson said.

Key to the game
No.14 Texas recorded a season-high 14 steals in a Feb. 10 victory against Colorado. That could cause trouble for the Jayhawks as they struggled to maintain possession of the ball in their loss to the third-ranked Cornhuskers. Many of Kansas' 19 turnovers came in crucial moments as it let Nebraska creep its way back into the game and escape with a victory. Those are mistakes the Jayhawks will need to avoid to have success against the Longhorns.

PANIC
In Wednesday's loss to No. 3 Nebraska, freshman forward Carolyn Davis recorded the third double-double of her career. In doing that she also grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds. Despite playing a key role in the Jayhawks stretch of 11 straight field goals, Davis failed to score in the game's final 12 minutes and only attempted one shot. If her teammates can continue feeding her the ball down low, in a position to score, then Davis should be able to produce another big game against Texas.

Since the start of conference play, Texas senior guard Brittainey Raven has scored in the double digits every game. That trend didn't just begin with conference games, though, as she also has double-digit point totals in 27 of her last 28 games. In addition to her offensive prowess Raven is coming off a game against Colorado where she notched a season-high four steals.

For most of the winter, junior catcher Brittann Hile and the rest of the Kansas softball team had to practice indoors on turf. Hile said she is ready to get onto the field and play a real game.
"To finally get on the road and start playing is going to be fun to finally see the team in action," Hile said. "To be on the dirt rather than turf is going to be great."
The team will face two top-25 teams when it travels to Houston this weekend for the Marriott Hobby Invite. Kansas will need to get used to playing on the road as its first 19 games are away from Arrocha Ballpark.
Kansas lacks experience and depth, with seven freshmen, and will have to look to older players for leadership and experience — particularly senior pitcher Sarah Vertelka and junior outfielder Liz Kocun.

No.18 Butler wins again
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Gordon Hayward scored 22 points and had a career-high 17 rebounds to lead No. 18 Butler past Youngstown State 68-57 for the Bulldogs' 14th consecutive win Thursday night.
Butler (22-4, 15-0) overcame 11 first-half turnovers to clinch its fourth straight Horizon League title. The Bulldogs' winning streak is one behind Siena for the longest in the nation. The teams will meet Jan. 20.
DeAndre Mays' 18 points led Youngstown State (8-16, 2-12), which has lost four in a row. Vytas Sulksis added 14 points for the Penguins.
The Bulldogs' start in conference play is the best by any Horizon team since Wisconsin Green Bay began 16-0 in 1995-96. They can match that with a win Saturday at second-place Cleveland State.
Matt Howard had 11 points and Willie Veasley 10 for the Bulldogs, who won their seventh straight on the road.
Youngstown State made four consecutive three-pointers during a 23-4 run midway through the first half to go ahead, but Hayward's driving layup and free throw four seconds before halftime gave the Bulldogs a 31-30 lead at the break.
Vesaily hit a 3-pointer, blocked a shot, and Shelvin Mack hit
another three for a 6-0 lead in the opening 54 seconds. The Bulldogs had hit a season-high 12 from beyond the arc in a 91-61 victory against Youngstown State Jan. 16.
The Penguins got back into it with swarming defense and sharp long-range shooting of their own. Sulski hit three 3-pointers as YSU battled back from a 16-5 deficit with a run that included 12 points on four consecutive threes to lead 28-20.
Butler closed the first half with an 11-2 run, capped by Hayward's go-ahead three-point play.
Butler took better care of the basketball, held Sulski to 1-for-5 from the field and shot 62 percent from the field in the second half.

TIPOFF
Kansas (23-1, 9-0) plays host to Iowa State (13-11, 2-7) in their second meeting of the season. When the Jayhawks visited the Cyclones earlier this season, they pummeled them 84-61. They held Craig Brackins in check to 13 points while Cole Aldrich went off for 19 points and 11 rebounds with three blocks. Marcus Morris had 16 points and seven rebounds as well. Most of the bigs had success against Iowa State. Not much has changed for either team since.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeff Withey
Against Texas, Withey was the player to watch and he didn't even see a minute of floor time. Let's try again. The seven-footer had a
solid showing against Iowa State last time they played and he has instilled enough trust in his coach to get the minutes.
Withey
But at this point in the season, the only way to get minutes if you aren't in the eight-man rotation is to hope the Jayhawks build an insumountable lead. The best way to do that is to play a team that is 3-7 on the road at your place in the midst of a 55-game home court win streak.
Are the Jayhawks complacent three games up in the Big 12?
QUESTION MARK
When Nebraska came to Allen Fieldhouse, everyone thought it would be a rout. Then somehow, the Cornhuskers found themselves up four in the second half. They ended up losing that game to the Jayhawks pretty handily, 64-75. Iowa State is coming in with the same expectations — it's a weak team and the Jayhawks are at home — jackpot. We've seen too often this season the Jayhawks fail to put teams away. With the cushion they have in the league, that killer instinct may not be there.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"Sometimes when you can get a good block, your mindset is 'throw it as far as you can so you can look good."
— Marcus Morris on why he sometimes throws the ball out of bounds instead of keeping possession.

MARK DAVISON
Collins is down to his last four games at Allen Fieldhouse. Players and coaches said they have seen a change in the senior guard who is averaging 15.6 points per game. Collins has been money this season whenever his team has needed him, but chances are he won't be that guy against the Cyclones. He had 11 points in the last matchup.

Morningstar had one for the highlight reel at Texas Monday, though it's one he won't be proud of. While shooting a free throw all by his lone-some, the ball squirted two feet out of his hands and he caught it and hoisted another shot. It wasn't pretty at the time, but the team is laughing at it now. Morningstar has been extremely steady

Xavier Henry,guard
It had been so long since he was in the spotlight he forgot to speak into the microphone. Henry finally had a noteworthy game against a Big 12 opponent with 15 points and five rebounds at Texas. As upbeat as the 18-year-old usually is, you could sense he was starting to lose confidence, but maybe that game is enough to turn it around. Now he has the home crowd with him.
Marcus

Prediction: Morris will have somewhere in the neighborhood of 16-22 points and 8-10 rebounds In a sense, that's all he's been doing in the conference schedule thus far. The only question mark is his torn ligament in his middle finger on his shooting hand. He scored 18 points against the Longhorns after sustaining it

Aldrich took a step in the wrong direction recently against Texas, but now he's playing the team that got him started on his recent tear. At

Diante Garrett, guard
The dangerous thing about Garrett is his ability to fill whatever role the Cyclones need him to. If he needs to be a double-digit scorer, he can—and will—be, but if it better serves Iowa State for him to be a distributor, he's just as comfortable in that role. He's one of just three players averaging more than five assists per game in the Big 12.

★★★☆☆
Scott Christopherson, guard
In just his second career start, Christopherson posted nine points on 4-of-7 shooting. It's not an anomaly that he scored nine, but the fact that most of his points came from inside the arc is surprising. The majority of Christopherson's damage is done from behind the three-point line, where he shoots 46.8 percent.
★★☆☆★
Gilstrap is an NBA-ready forward who can really do it all for the Cyclones. He shoots well (40 percent from long range), he can score in a variety of ways and he's maybe the best rebounder under 6-foot-7 in the country, pulling down 9.2 rebounds per game. Gilstrap handled Kansas' defense last time around, posting 18 points and 12 rebounds.

IOWA STATE TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
If any team is going to end Kansas' 55-game home winning streak, it's not going to be the Cyclones, who have two guys that start on any team, and not much else. Even given the Jayhawks' propensity to play down to the level of their opponents, Kansas should have no issues putting away a bottom-third team in the conference. The matchup to watch, again, will be Marcus Morris against Brackins. Morris has developed into a future first rounder, while Brackins has been a future first rounder since last year.

forward, while power forwards and centers traditionally dominate the rebounding numbers. There's actually not another guard in the top-10 in Big 12 rebounding - Baylor's LaceDarius Dunn is next, checking in at 15th with just over six boards per game. Look for Gilstrap to post his 11th double-double, and his second against Kansas, of the season.
Can Kansas quiet Brackins again?
Cole Aldrich
QUESTION MARK
If Brackins is held even to his season averages of 17 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, the Cyclones don't stand a chance of pulling the upset. If he makes like last year and drops 42 on the Jayhawks, things could get a little hairy at the end. The reality lies, probably, somewhere in the middle. Don't be surprised if Brackins has a 20-plus point performance and double-digit rebounds, but that won't be near enough to propel Iowa State to the massive upset.

...Craig Brackins and Marquis Gilstrap have a field day. Usually, the Jayhawks are matched up with an opponent with one player who can dominate a game. Playing teams like Texas and Kansas State have deviated from that trend because they have more than one star, but Kansas found a way to contain at least one of the big names. Brackins and Gilstrap both have 30-point potential and if they can stifle Allen Fieldhouse, good things can happen for Iowa State.
...the Jayhawks get a lot of dunks. The bigs for Kansas owned Iowa State last month and what's to say they can't do it again? Nothing gets the crowd going like a ferocious dunk by the home team. Nothing demoralizing the opposing team more, either.

In China, it's the year 4067 the year of the tiger. More than 300 people celebrated the Chinese new year on Saturday night, at an event hosted by the Chinese Students and Scholars Friendship Association in the Kansas Union.
"This is considered to be the most important festival in China," said Jerry Jiang, a graduate student from Chongqing, China.
Since international students couldn't be at home to celebrate, the student group held the on-campus event.
Ji Liu, a freshman from Xi'an, China, came to the U.S. last August to study at KU. At home, he celebrates the new year with his family, friends and a lot of food. "The most important part is the reunion with the family," Liu said. "There's a special time to reconcile with families, friends and acquaintances."
This year, Liu said he was excited to celebrate with his friends and to show guests different Chinese customs.
"The Chinese culture is not only celebrated by people in China, but all over the world." Liu siad. "This is how we're celebrating it here."
To ring in the new year the event included traditional paper folding, Chinese calligraphy and tea tasting. There were also several special student performances, including a demonstration of Tai Chi, a showcase of traditional Mandarin attire and a traditional Chinese dance performance.
The celebrations concluded with dinner and dancing.

Rally denounces police raids on local vendor

After her store, The Sacred Journey, was raided and briefly shut down last week, owner Natalie McAnulla organized a protest to tell her side of the story.
Police and agents from the Food and Drug Administration raided her store at 1103 Massachusetts Feb. 4, confiscating everything related to the herbal drug blend K2 and other herbs, all of which are still legal under current state law. Company documents were also seized at the time and the store's bank accounts have since been frozen.
The rally started at 2 p.m. Saturday at South Park with McAnulla speaking against the government's involvement with her store and finished with a march to Ninth and Massachusetts streets.

With worries of further budget cuts to higher education, the Student Senate and the University are taking measures to try to ensure there are no more cuts. And they're asking for students' help.
John Stratton, University Senate president, said the University Senate, which represents faculty and staff in addition to students, is discussing resolution to endorse the
Board of Regents' recent statement to the governor, which demanded that no more cuts

be made to higher education in Kansas. He said he hoped that students are making their voices heard, too.
"I think the main thing people need to do is somehow make their voice heard, because I can tell you if there's lack of opinion expressed, the legislature will have absolutely no problem making decisions for us."
"If you don't get involved nobody's going to care," said Stratton, "Nobody's going to hear you."
Student Senate passed a resolution last week to ask chambers of commerce in all cities with a regent school to voice their support of higher education.
Mason Heilman, student body president, said many chambers of commerce aren't supportive of higher education because the challenge of funding higher education often leads to higher taxes for businesses. Heilman said colleges and universities provide cit-

Heilman said the resolution was passed down from the Board of Regents to student governments at all the regent schools. He said the resolution wouldn't affect Lawrence as much as other cities because the University has a strong base

GREENVILLE, Maine — State officials in Maine say witnesses who reported seeing a drowning snowmobiler on a lake were probably looking at an otter

Protesters march through Massachusetts Street Saturday afternoon. The rally was organized after herbal store Sacred Journey was subject to a raid by federal and local officials who siezed the K2 herbal blend.
RALLY(CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"Either sigh is illegal or it's not," she said. "If they are trying to amass a case, that tells me they're trying to cook something up"
whether she faces criminal charges.
While bills from the Kansas House and Senate to ban the sell of K2 have been approved, no bill has been signed into law.
Many at the rally wondered why the FDA was allowed to seize the herbs before a bill has been finalized.
"What they did seems kind of illegal," said Erin Darely, a junior from Leavenworth. "They are sort of jumping into it because it's something they don't understand and just assume is bad."
A majority of the crowd hold signs and chanted "F-U-U-C-K, F-D-A" as they made their march down Massachusetts Street.
While the protest drew in a number of honks and cheers from downtown traffic, a traffic, overcast day kept participants well below the 500 that McAnulla had hoped for.
Although Sacred Journey has since reopened, McAnulla said that with fewer employees and the restrictions on her bank accounts that it would be a struggle to keep the store afloat.
"I don't know what to do or how to fix the situation," she said. "But what I am doing is trying to find a good legal team that specializes in the various parts of this case, and I'm trying to do a massive PR campaign so the government does know that the people know the actual story."
FDA officials declined to comment on the investigation last week and said they would not confirm or comment on any ongoing investigation.

BUDGETS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Heilman said it's important for students to also contact their legislators by phone, email or letter. He said students should be telling legislators that they're paying attention.

"I think students also grumble about tuition increases," Heilman said, "and I think one of the best ways you can prevent massive tuition increases is to lobby your legislators."

Kathy Damron, KU's legislative liaison, said all the regent schools' lobbyists are working together to make sure there are no further cuts.
"Generally speaking, what's good for Kansas State University is also good for the University of Kansas." Damron said. "So we really have emphasized this session coordinating our efforts and that's what we feel presents a winning strategy to advance the interests of our institutions for students and faculty."
HIGHER

Students will have a chance to be heard in person Tuesday at Higher Education Day in Topeka.
Students are encouraged to lobby against future cuts to higher education between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.at the state capitol, said Student Senate legislative director Michael Wade Smith. Students who want to participate need to email Smith at slab@ku.edu.

ACADEMICS
Online format offers flexibility for commuters

MORNINGSKY
amorningsky.kansan.com
The School of Social Welfare is now offering its master's degree program in a new blended format, allowing students from across the state more flexibility in getting their degrees.
Melanie Hepburn, the school's assistant dean, said 205 of 311 students in the school are non-traditional and most commute from all over western Kansas. Traditionally, students traveled to either Lawrence or the Edwards Campus once a week to attend classes, which were all held on the same day. The new
POLICY STATEMENTS
long-distance learning format, which the Board of Regents encouraged, allows online coursework to take the place of the classroom every other week.
"This format opened doors for me and my family."
Rick Spano,
associate dean for academic programs, said the move is meant to make life easier for social welfare students.
"The majority of our students have been out of school for a while and have families and jobs," Spano said. "They can't just decide they want to leave to go to school. They have families and households to maintain. We want to provide them with an option that will reduce cost, ensure the quality of their education, and open up opportunities."
SARA JEAN-BAPTISTE Social welfare graduate student
Sara Jean-Baptiste, a graduate student from Lawrence, is in her second semester of the newly formatted Master of Social Welfare program. The freedom to do some of the coursework from home allowed her and her children to visit Disney World on a Saturday in November that she didn't have to be in class.
"Taking this format opened doors for me and my family," lean-Baptiste said. "I'm really happy I'm able to have most evenings free to pick up my kids from activities,
make dinner, and help them with homework."
She said the new blended format is actually more difficult than a traditional course.
"Participating by posting to a discussion board forces me to speak up when I could otherwise sit silently in the classroom," Jean-Baptiste said. "But I'll take the harder assignments and have time to spend with my family."
Ed Scanlon, associate professor in the School of Social Welfare, said he believes the course structure encourages more responsibility and motivation from his students.
"Because of the way the course is set up, students are more accountable for doing readings and reflecting on the material online," Seanlon said. "But when we're in class, they really appreciate the time we're together by being active and engaged."
Scanton said he's been learning a lot in preparation for the new format: understanding
the ins and outs of blackboard, posting quizzes, running a discussion board, recording lectures and post them as mp3s.
"This is new to them. This is new to us," Scanlon said. "We're all just learning as we go."
Spano said some students don't seem as satisfied with the new format of the class.
"They feel like if they're not here, they're missing something," he said. "But we've got some great professors here, so you can't blame them."
Jean-Baptiste agreed that the format isn't for everyone.
"I really enjoy classes with face-to-face interaction, but I can't do it so I appreciate this option," Jean-Baptise said. "The learning is still happening."
While the first year of the two-year program began last August, the new coursework is scheduled to be fully developed by fall 2010.

New handbook helps female international students
BY KELSEY RICHARDSON
editor@kansan.com
A new support group created for female international students at the University is working to establish itself and raise awareness about the potential difficulties international women encounter while attending college in the U.S.
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center has collaborated with International Student and Scholar Services, the Office of International Programs, Center for Global and International Studies
and Kansas African Studies Center to create International Women Connect. The idea for this support group originated from an undergraduate student project.
Nicole Tichenor, a KU alumna, came up with the idea of a handbook for female international students while she was working on a women's studies service-learning project. Tichenor approached Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, about potential ideas for projects. They identified needs pertaining
to women on campus.
"International women were a population that had kind of been neglected, as far as needs go," Tichenor said.
The University has services and orientation geared toward international students in general, but Rose-Mockry found that international women have a set of needs and expectations that may be different from international men. Rose-Mockry and Tichenor came up with the idea to create a handbook and held a series of focus groups to decide what information
it should supply.
"We talked about their experiences and the challenges that they faced," Tichenor said. "Based on what the most frequent responses were, that's how we tailored the handbook."
The authors said that international students often face language barriers and don't know how to communicate with professors. The handbook was designed to help ease these problems.
International Women Connect arose from the focus groups that scheduled discussions, workshops
Read the handbook at kansan.com/documents
and presentations for the spring semester. They are open to both international and non-international students.
Jane Irungu, associate director of the Kansas African Studies Program, said she hopes that the group will serve to mentor international female students and assist them with cultural challenges. When Irungu moved to the U.S. from Kenya, she wished someone had reached out to her.
"The culture was so different," Irungu said. "The interactions were difficult. It was difficult not
having friends and having to start over from zero"
Irungu suggests that international students research the culture, food, weather and the people, and find a mentor to establish connections before moving to the US.
"For women, what we want to do is to make sure that they can find life here a little easier," Frungu said. "Navigating on your own is hard, so try to make connections."
The group said they hoped to make a handbook for men.

"Teddy McHuggin' embraces thousands for heart health
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — A 51-year-old Ohio man has embraced the Valentine's Day spirit faster than anyone before, giving 7,777 hugs in 24 hours for a new world record.
Jeff Ondash, who sought the squeezes under the costumed alterego Teddy McHuggin, broke the record Saturday night outside the Paris Las Vegas hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
"When you hug somebody, they all walk away from each other smiling," Ondash said. "They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away; a bug a day — it's just fun."
Ondash said he wanted to become the world's hugging champion to raise money for the American Heart Association during American Heart month.
The cause is important to him because his brother and father both died relatively young because of heart problems, he said.
His daughter Carlie, who tallied her father's hugs with a manual counter at the start of his attempt on Friday, came up with his pseudonym to make his spectacle a bit more fun. As Teddy McHuggin, Ondash sports a red NASCAR-
style driver's suit with hugging logos and a wrestling-style championship belt.
"Jeff Ondash breaking a record really doesn't mean a lot," he said. "Teddy McHuggin on the other hand, he's the reigning world speed hugging champion, now going after the world marathon hugging champion.
"No one on earth has ever attempted something like that before," he said.
He said he embraced all kinds of people throughout Friday night and Saturday and was tired from being on his feet and not eating. But Ondash said he wasn't planning to go to sleep right away.
Ondash, of Canfield. Ohio,
already held the record for most
hugs in one hour with 1,205,
according to Guinness World.'
"I'm going to go and enjoy the town tonight," he said Saturday.
"They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away; a hug a day — it's just fun."
Ondash said he did not expect
Guinness World Records.
JEFF ONDASH Record-setting hugger
The previous record of 5,000 hugs in one day was set last year by Siobhan O'Connor in Dublin, Ireland, Guinness spokesman Philip Robertson said.
To break O'Connor's mark, Ondash needed more than 208 hugs per hour — or about $3\frac{1}{2}$ hugs per minute. Ondash logged just over 700 hugs during his first hour of embraces on Friday night.

Oldest death row inmate dies at 94
FLORENCE, Ariz. — The oldest death row inmate in the U.S. has died of natural causes at age 94.
An Arizona Department of Corrections spokesman says
Viva Leroy Nash died late Friday at the state's prison complex in Florence.
Nash was born in 1915 and had a criminal record dating to the 1930s.
He spent 25 years in prison for shooting a Connecticut police officer in 1947, and was sentenced to life in prison for shooting a
man to death in Salt Lake City in 1977. He escaped from a prison work crew in October 1982 and fatally shot a Phoenix coin shop sales clerk a month later.
He was sentenced to death for that crime.

Olympics alter prime time shows
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
The Winter Olympics dominate prime time for the next two weeks, but "Lost" isn't going anywhere. And "American Idol" certainly won't get out of the way of bobsled and luge.
With the games opening Friday night in Vancouver, British Columbia, competing broadcast networks have side-stepped, benching some (but not all) shows for the duration.
CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler defines her network's strategy as "sort of a mixed bag between new shows and repeats," adding that the plan is "putting the shows out there, letting the fans come to the shows as they see fit, and whoever is going to watch the Olympics is going to watch them anyway."
Comedies especially are likely to go into reruns, even though
February is a ratings sweeps month. Viewers will watch comedy repeats, the networks have learned, so CBS' Monday night sitcoms and ABC's Wednesday comedy lineup will be what the networks like to call "encores" for the next two weeks.
So-called procedural dramas, like the various editions of "CSI" and "NCIS" on CBS, will mostly be in reruns during the Olympics.
But ABC will air new episodes of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" next Thursday, opposite the men's figure skating finale. "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and Sisters" will be first-run on two Sundays, Feb. 21 and 28, and "The Deep End" will be new through what ABC bills as its "finale" (not season finale) on Feb. 25.
"Lost," which began its final season Feb. 2 on ABC, will air straight through, Olympics or

not, with a repeat of the previous week's episode scheduled at 8 p.m. Tuesday. With a "Lost" lead-in, ABC will also keep "The Forgotten" on the schedule this month, although possibly the goal is simply to burn off episodes.
Fox is a special case. "American Idol" is just now getting up to speed, and analysts expect the talent competition to beat the Olympics on at least a couple of nights.
"Idol" will reveal its Top 24 on Wednesday, with the first live performance show Feb. 23 followed by the first live results show Feb. 25. During the two weeks of the Olympics, "Idol" will fill eight of Fox's 20 hours of Monday-Friday prime time.
"Bones" and "Fringe" have already aired "winter finales" on Fox (both return April 1), and "House" will be in reruns during the Olympics. But time won't stop for "24," which began its new day on Jan. 17 and will air straight through. The new dramas "Human Target" and "Past Life" will also air first-run episodes.

Lobby for higher education
Tuesday is Higher Education Day in Topeka, and Student Senate is recruiting students to lobby for increased levels of funding and decreased cuts in budget for state universities. With the amount of budget cuts the University has endured during the past few years, students should be concerned with their academic welfare. This event offers the opportunity to express that concern in a constructive manner.
The poor economic state of the country is a major issue in state funding. But cutting the budget of universities only hinders the ability of institutions to provide quality educations for students. As our own chancellor has acknowledged, society benefits when students receive a proper education. The need for budget cuts is understandable, but education is not where these cuts should be made.
The University has suffered a loss of $37.3 million in budget cuts and mandates and has had to eliminate over 200 positions. These losses hurt the University, students and the state.
When the University is forced to make cuts to staff, students are not only deprived of insightful educators, but also must deal with larger class sizes. What's more, the state loses money from these former state-employed taxpayers; consequentially, the more budget cuts continue to pile up. Students
During the Fall 2009 semester, the University saw its second-highest enrollment ever, surpassing the 30,000-student mark for the second consecutive year. With record-setting enrollment, clearly the demand for quality education is there. Budget cuts hurt not only these eager students, but also the communities they would return home to support with their college degrees. Therefore, it is ridiculous to cut the budget of an entity that truly contributes to the well being of every citizen.
As a public university, a portion of the taxes paid by the citizens of Kansas goes toward funding the University. Kansas' citizens and students should let the state know that they want their money to go toward higher education.
The University has made efforts to capitalize on the Recovery Act, a statewide plan to spur economic growth. The University has also made use of private funds and research dollars. But these funds are simply not enough to support our growing institution.
State funding is essential to the success of the University. Students need to understand that they suffer from a lack of funding. There is no reason to allow these cuts to occur. The Higher Education Day events in Topeka offer students the
opportunity to rally and express their opinions on cuts to education funding.
Students who participate this Tuesday will be put into groups of three or four and will sit in with a team leader and a legislator to discuss how budget cuts are negatively affecting the University.
Student Senate is holding lobby training at 2 p.m. today in the Student Senate conference room at the Kansas Union. Students who wish to participate should attend this meeting for more information.
Students who cannot attend Tuesday's meeting still have opportunities that they should utilize to show their disapproval of budget cuts. Michael Wade Smith, the legislative director of Student Senate, said that groups meet every week to lobby. Student Senate is also organizing a letter writing campaign.
By lobbying on Tuesday students can and should show the state that they do not approve of the cuts made to the University or of any additional cuts.
To get involved on Tuesday,
e-mail student senator Michael
Wade Smith at slab@ku.edu and
let him know when you are avail-
able between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.

WAR ON TERROR
AROOJ KHALID
POLITICS
War on Terror won at American gas pumps
After reports this month of U.S. soldier deaths in Pakistan and the revelation that more than 200 ground troops are operating there, America has seemingly embroiled itself in a three-front war against terrorism. Many have failed to realize, however, that the greatest blow we can strike against Islamic extremism can be done at home by cutting our dependence on foreign oil and building a clean-energy economy
We are not at war with a people, nation or religion, but rather a specific ideology. The fundamentalist Salafi theology has spread out from Saudi Arabia, with the help of that regime's massive oil revenues. It is the petrodollars of the Wahabi ruling family that proselytized the ideological justifications for the actions of al-Qaida across the Gulf and into North Africa and Central Asia.
Key to the financial resources of fundamentalist sects is the oil wealth of those funding the organizations. A hefty sum of this money supports Salafi schools and the radical imams that preach messages like the one that drives al-Qaida fighters. Large amounts of
The new energy economy would increase American soft power as well as weaken the grip of oppressive regimes in the oil states. These are both important steps in fighting terrorism.
Political Planet
the fighters and arms flowing into Iraq and Afghanistan come from Saudi Arabia and Iran, backed in some way by oil money.
This is also related to what author Thomas Friedman calls "The First Law of Petropolitics." That is, in oil-reliant states, when the price of oil goes up, freedoms like those we enjoy in the U.S. tend to decline. Essentially, when tight-fisted regimes like Saudi Arabia, Iran and now Russia, only have to rely on oil revenues as state income, they lose accountability. Consequently, ideas of freedom and democracy fall by the wayside.
BY DEVIN LOWELL
It is no secret that much of America's soft power deteriorated during the Bush administration. However, a surefire way to regain much of what we lost and to combat extremism simultaneously is eliminate our dependence on foreign oil and build a new, clean-energy economy.
We can do this by putting a price on carbon emissions in the
U. S., through a cap-and-trade system or a carbon tax. We should also reinvest that money in grants and loans for the design, development and manufacture of new energy technologies, such as wind turbines, solar panels and plug-in hybrids. Along with this, stricter fuel efficiency standards will also be needed.
Now, it was neither the Democrats nor the Republicans who got us into this tangled web of oil, consumption and terrorism. The problem is a generational one. It was the lack of responsibility by the Baby Boomers that plowed forward into borrowing billions from China to buy oil from Saudi Arabia, to build McMansions further and further into the exurbs and to plunge into a several-trillion-dollar war.
It is the responsibility of our generation to bring back a common sense ethic of pragmatism, innovation, and responsibility. By making America cleaner and greener, we will make it stronger and strike a great blow at the heart (and bank accounts) of extremism.

MEDIA ISSUES
The ethos of today's logos
When the Michigan State Spartans men's basketball team made its run to the national championship last year, it did so with an outdated logo. At least, that's the claim of Nike and members of the MSU administration in the recent redesign of the Spartan.
The old Brawny paper towel man, perhaps best known for his unnatural golden hair and straight out of a Brett Favre Wrangler commercial denim flannel, now has black hair and a stronger appearance. I can only imagine the presumed heated debate that took place inside the Brawny marketing department when developing this new logo. I understand that a company needs to adapt with the changing times, but hiring an ex-lumberjack on steroids seems better suited for a late-night monologue than a paper towel marketing campaign.
The new logo, featuring an extended jaw line and sleek, narrow eyelids, has angered many MSU students and alumni by departing from the logo that has been in use for 30 years.
MSU's decision to update its logo comes just three years after our own university received criticism for adapting the Trajan font for the school's uniforms. The new Jayhawk font is solidified into University proceedings, but it is just one of several recent changes to long-standing logos.
Pepsi unveiled a new logo consisting of a larger strip for the white intermediary between the red and blue components on thelogo's circle. It's hard to get excited about that description, but I don't fault the company for trying to do something different and more modern looking.
That Guy
In another example, the Sun-Maid Raisins box has sported a bonnet-clad lady on its logo since the early part of the 20th century. But a visit to its website reveals a newer, more tan, younger woman holding up a collection of grapes.
Douglas L.
BY TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE
What do all these updates mean? In the current economy, many businesses are trying anything they can to retain and bring in new customers, which usually involves a logo change. It seems the Quaker Oats man is running on borrowed time.
But the reality is that a new logo doesn't necessarily improve the product's standing. Take Tropicana orange juice: After seeing a newer, but more generic logo on new orange juice bottles, customers became so outraged that they flooded Tropicana's offices with complaints. Tropicana quickly returned to its old logo.
On the flip side are veteran products that have stood the test of decades in the market. There's a hidden element of superior quality when a product's 2010 logo is the same (or similar) to its 1930 one. Take for example Coca-Cola, which could be famous more for its distinguished font than the soda itself.
The sports equivalent of this logo nostalgia is the New York Yankees' famous "NY" on its apparel. Something tells me it wouldn't be the best marketing strategy to redesign either of these companies' logos.
When analyzing logos, it's important to realize that the actual product is the only thing that really matters. But still, when torn between two similar products, the benefit of the doubt goes to the one with the better logo.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In this letter I will attempt to accomplish what Chet Compton failed to do in his article "Scientific skepticism key in good politics": Write a balanced article supported by reason and substantial evidence.
Mr. Compton's thesis seems to be that global warming is a "hoax" perpetrated by liberal ideologues hell-bent on raising taxes, regulating corporations, instigating class warfare, and "denominizing evil capitalism." oh my! However, as Carl Sagan famously remarked, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
No such evidence is to be found in Mr. Compton's article.
Mr. Compton begins his article by creating a false controversy: He claims that "environmental issues are among the most polarizing in American politics today," and follows this with a list of "scandal's, which supposedly disprove the mountains of evidence supporting the theory of global warming. Creating a false controversy is a stale tactic that aims to grant legitimacy to otherwise baseless claims and has been used rather unsuccessfully by the intelligent
After a four-paragraph partisan rant not worth mentioning extensively here, Mr. Compton calls on Republicans to take up the "slam-dunk" issue of the supposed global warming "hoax." This may be one issue that he and I agree upon, because if the Republicans openly support the far-right global warming deniers movement, they are sure to lose the vote of every reasonable person in the Union.
Alexander Golubski is a junior from Lenexa.
In his thorough review of the science of global warming, Mr. Compton mentions only the "Climategate" e-mail incident and the IPCC's most recent report on diminishing glaciers, while failing to mention the 2007 United Nations IPCC's Nobel Prize-winning Fourth Assessment Report on the issue. The two incidents that Mr. Compton does mention address only a few minor points, are completely over-hyped, and do nothing to discredit the vast body of evidence assembled in the 2007 IPCC report and other reputable scientific journals.

KU Hillel moves into downtown
BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com
As KU Hillel celebrated the opening of its new establishment Sunday afternoon, a mezuzah was placed on the door frame in its honor. The new facility, at 722 New Hampshire Street, is located in the Hobbs Taylor Building downtown.
"This tells people this is a Jewish space," said Neal Schuster, senior Jewish educator and rabbi of KU Hillel. "It's a sign — a visible reminder for us — that we supposed to be living our lives in a particular way."
Sunday's celebration included a naming ceremony and recognition of the Buchbinder family, who supported the project. Funding for the new facility came from private donors. Jay Lewis, executive director of KU Hillel, said that the project was almost not completed because of the recent economic downturn.
"Our leadership was nervous about making a big financial commitment," Lewis said. "But then the funders stepped up, and we were able
KU Hillel is an on-campus organization that reaches out to students of the Jewish faith. Previously, the group had a house on Mississippi, which was closer to campus, Amanda Gropper, program director of KU Hillel, said the downtown location is better suited for student outreach because of its proximity to an important part of town.
"The old house just wasn't conducive to the programs we wanted to house," Gropper said. "Students weren't inclined to pop in. But here, students come in here to study, do homework, or just talk."
Laura Shulkin, vice-president of KU Hillel, said that the new space gave the group the ability to facilitate its most popular programming without relying on other campus groups or locations.
"Putting on these programs in the quaint, but small Hillel house was a struggle," said Shulkin, a junior from Chicago. "This functional space is perfect for our wants and needs."

In this photo made Thursday, Feb. 11, an anti-abortion billboard is shown in Atlanta. The eyebrow-raising ads featuring a young black child are an effort by the anti-abortion movement to use race to rally support within the black community.

Georgia ads link race and abortion
RV ERDIN WAINEC
Associated Press
ATLANTA — The message on dozens of billboards across the city is provocative: Black children are an "endangered species."
The eyebrow-raising ads featuring a young black child are an effort by the anti-abortion movement to use race to rally support within the black community. The reaction from black leaders has been mixed, but the "Too Many Aborted" campaign, which so far is unique to only Georgia, is drawing support from other anti-abortion groups across the country.
"It's ingenious," said the Rev. Johnny Hunter, national director of the Life Education and Resource Network, a North Carolina-based anti-
abortion group aimed at African-Americans that operates in 27 states. "This campaign is in your face, and nobody can immoe it"
The billboards went up last week in Atlanta and urge black women to "get outraged."
The effort is sponsored by Georgia Right to Life, which also is pushing legislation that aims to ban abortions based on race.
Black women accounted for the majority of abortions in Georgia in 2006, even though blacks make up just a third of state population, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Nationally, black women were more than three times as likely to get

black community is at epidemic proportions. They're not really aware of what's actually going on. If it shocks people ... it it should be shocking."

Big Monday in Texas: take two
BY COREY THIBODEAUX

For the second week in a row, the Jayhawks have little time to bask in a Saturday victory with an ESPN Big Monday game on the road at Texas A&M.
It didn't affect the Jayhawks much last week; Kansas won an ugly game against Nebraska before knocking off Texas 80-68.
With a quick Sunday practice to prepare and get the Jayhawks' legs back under them, coach Bill Self hopes they have the same success tonight against the Aggies as they did against the Longhorns.
"We've got to be really good, just like we were going down to Austin," Self said. "We didn't play great last Saturday, but we were focused going away from home and I think our guys will be focused going

down to College Station."
"I've never

really paid too much attention to Texas A&M, but I heard they're tied for second in the Big 12 with Kansas State," Henry said.
That fact should be enough to have the Jayhawks hyped up for this game. Texas A&M is 18-6 on the season and 7-3 in the Big 12 coming off a close 67-65 matchup with Texas Tech.
In the conference, Texas A&M has an average margin of victory hovering right around one point per game. And with only three losses, that shows the Aggies know how to close out opponents.
"They've won a ton of close games and really lost a game at Texas they could have easily won,

which was a nail-biter game." Self said.

The Jayhawks won't be surprised if the game comes down to that. Senior guard Sherron Collins is expecting another Texas bonanza.

"It's going to be sold out, probably a white-out or something crazy," Collins said. "And they're a

good team, so were going to have our hands full."
Aggie senior guard Donald Sloan will give the Jayhawks most of their troubles. He is averaging 18.3 points on the season and has scored in double figures all but three times this season. Collins doesn't expect any surprises in his
fourth year against Sloan

"He's their heartbeat," Collins said. "I've been playing against Sloan for four years so I know his game a little bit. There's mutual respect from both of us."
This is a big game in the Big 12 and Self knows it. An Aggie victory means they and the Wildcats are only two games out of first place and the Jayhawks still have a hefty schedule to fend off.
"It will be a great environment," Self said, "because theoretically if they win out and knock us off, they'll put themselves in great position to maybe play for the league championship."

COMMENTARY
Saturday victory a milestone for Self
BELLEVEN
BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com
Remember way back in 2003 when Roy Williams abandoned Kansas for
that Carolina blue? After losing a title game to Carmelo Anthony's Syracuse team and their coach to North Carolina, Jayhawk nation was understandably in a dejected state.
But a man named Self quickly turned unease into elation.
With Saturday's 73-59 victory
against Iowa State, Bill Self notched his 400th career victory. from his days as an assistant under Larry Brown and Eddie Sutton to his building blocks
MICHAEL WOODS
Self
as a head coach at Oral Roberts, Tulsa and Illinois, each and every step has provided Self with the tools to recruit and win at Kansas at such an accelerated rate. Self sped to the 400 plateau by winning at least 23 games every season spent at Kansas, with 24 wins already this season.
But fans of consistent winners are greedy and never satisfied with past glories. They're always looking for more.
No one said life was fair.
To reach the numerical pantheon of basketball coaching, Self would need to log approximately 300 more victories. In order to be mentioned among names like Knight, Wooden, Sutton or Tarkanian, Self would need two

Kansas falters in the end, falls to No.14 Texas in double overtime
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
twitter.com/maxrothman
One overtime just wasn't enough to settle Saturday's storm at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas fell to No. 14 Texas 85-82 and dropped to 4-6 in the Big 12 in its first double overtime showdown since a 2005 victory against Wisconsin.
"It was quiet," freshman forward Carolyn Davis said of her team's locker room after the game. "We thought we had it won."
The game went as far as two overtime period because freshman guard Monica Engelman gets more comfortable by the game.
On Saturday, Engelman eclipsed the "ordinary" label. She fearlessly fired 3-pointers with hands in her face and finished with a career high 22 points and six assists.
"I'm not big-headed about it," Engelman said. "It's a role I'm ready to accept."
But as a guard, Engelman was unable to camouflage her team's greatest weakness against the Longhorns: rebounding deficiencies.
As she has been before, Davis was Kansas' lane rebounding linchpin. She said that Saturday was one of the most physical games she has ever played
That's where Davis stepped in
in. Yet she responded to the contact, battling in the blocks, catching passes and sneaking lay-ups between crowds of burnt orange. She earned her fourth double-double in the past five games and finished with a career high 29 points and 14 rebounds.
"You can't underestimate how coachable that kid is," Henrickson said of Davis. "If I ask her to do something, she tries like crazy to get it done."
rebounded Kansas 47 to 36, sabotaging the Jayhawks' momentum by not allowing many second-chance opportunities.
Despite Davis' presence, Texas outing in the second half, Henrickson called a 30-second timeout to reassemble her team. Following a jump shot and free throw from sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland, a suffocating block from Davis and a high arching 3-pointer from Engelman, the score was tied at 66. The now-standing crowd was euphoric and the game went to overtime.
"If we're a better rebounding team in regulation, we don't go to overtime." Hendrickson said.
Down 66-60 with 1 minute and 33 seconds remaining in the second half, Henrickson called a 30-second timeout to reassemble her team. Following a jump shot and free throw from sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland, a suffocating block from Davis and a high arching 3-pointer from Engelman, the score was tied at 66. The now-standing crowd was euphoric and the game went to overtime.
BONNIE HENRICKSON Head coach
"If we're a better rebounding team in regulation, we don't go to overtime."
"Once I made it, I knew we were going to come together," Engelman said of her game-tying shot.
Davis scored the opening four points of the first overtime period as Kansas, including the end of regulation, was suddenly riding a 10-0 run. Leading 76-72 with 58 seconds to go, senior guard Sade Morris appeared to be elbowed in the head by Texas senior Brittainey Raven, but was controversially charged with the foul.
Raven sunk both free throws to give the Longhorns a 76-74. Then Texas quickly fouled senior guard LaChelda Jacobs, who made just one of two free throws.
The score was 77-74, and because of Jacobs' miss, a one possession game. With 11 seconds remaining, Texas homorog
Ashleigh Fontenette sprinted down the court and nailed a 3-pointer to tie the game at 77 and send it into a second overtime.
"It's a dagger," Davis said. "We had all that emotion from Monica and then it all kind of went away when

Time to call out the overrated
MORNING BREW
In sports, terms such as "miracle" or greatest of all time have defined some of the greatest moments, players and teams in history. For those who aren't great or considered a fringe athlete in this conversation, you get the world famous terms "underrated" or "overrated." I believe in this theory, but in my opinion there are certain things in sports that need to be called in to question. I'm ready to call you out.
I am proud to be a member of the ACA. I will continue my commitment to providing high-quality education and support to students. My experience and expertise make me an ideal tutor for students of all ages and backgrounds. I am dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals and reach their full potential. I am confident that I can help you succeed in your studies.
BY ANDREW HAMMOND ahammond@kansan.com
Overrated: The SI Swimsuit Issue.
Hello, Sports illustrated, I would like you to meet this new magazine. It's called Maxim. It does the same thing you do, shoot photos of girls in pretty much nothing, but Maxim comes out every month, not once a year.
Overrated: Hating the already Hated. It's Amazing how many times Duke, Notre Dame or even the New York Yankees come on TV at a sports bar and fans complain about how much they "hate" them. Do you really hate them or do you just not like them?
But if you're in your dorm room or apartment in Lawrence and you talk about how much you hate Notre Dame, Duke or the Yankens, then find a new team to hate. This just in, hating those teams are out of style. They have marched on without
you — you should do the same. While I'm at it, if you hate Tim Tebow, JJ Redick or any other athlete, blame ESPN for overexposing and overhaping them.
Underrated: Sports in High Definition. This may be the greatest thing to hate in sports since sports started to be televised. It has given sports like golf, hockey and soccer new reasons to tune in. Pebble Beach has never looked more beautiful than on a Sunday afternoon in HD. And watching the ice spray during an HD NHL game has never been more chilling.
Overrated: "One Shinning Moment." This is the most overplayed emotional tribute to the teams who participate in the NCAA tournament. If you are one of the 64 losers, you might have gotten a great moment in the tournament. But in the

BREW
end, you still lost. Also, those teams that were upset in the tournament may not want to relive that moment.
Underrated: Obscure Olympic sports: With basketball, football and baseball bogging down our sports-watching year, we need a break. Thank God for curling and race walking! Every two years the Winter and Summer Olympics give us a reason to pay attention athletes such as Thomas Ulsrud, who's vying for a gold medal in curling with his Norwegian team, and wears wacky pants to brighten up everyone's HD set. You can't get storylines like this every day. This is their Super Bowl, their world series and we get to kick back and watch them in amazement and amusement.

Greinke reports to Arizona camp early
MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Zack Greinke, the 2009 American League Cy Young award winner, is not resting on his laurels.
Greinke, who led the majors with a 2.16 earned run average while posting a 16-8 record last season, was among the early arrivals Friday as the Kansas City Royals opened spring training with a mini-camp.
It was labeled a voluntary camp and pitchers and catchers are not scheduled to report until Wednesday. But Greinke's attendance sent a message. The Royals are trying to get a head start after finishing last in the American League Central for the fifth time in the past six seasons.
Greinke was not the only high position Royal to show up. Closer Joakim Soria, a 2008 All-Star who has logged 72 saves the past two seasons, and first baseman Billy Butler, who led the Royals last season with
a. 301 average, 51 doubles and 93 RBIs, also were in camp.
Manager Trey Hillman has already named Greinke his starter for the April 5 opener against Detroit. Gil Meche, the opening day starter the past three seasons, will pitch the second game.
The rest of the rotation will take shape in spring training. The candidates include Luke Hochevar, the first overall pick in the 2006 draft, Brian Bannister, Kyle Davies and Robinson Tejada. Davies, Bannister and Meche all ended the season on the disabled list with right shoulder ailments.
"All the guys we had that finished last year on the DL are projected to be healthy." Hillman said. "We won't baby them, but we will monitor them closely because they did finish on the DL. We've got to build them up. We've got to build everybody's innings up."
Kyle Farnsworth, who has been exclusively a reliever since 2000, will enter camp as a rotation candidate.
Jayhawk in waiting?

Josh Selby, a point guard from Baltimore, was on hand Saturday night during Kansas 73-59 victory against Iowa State. Selby has received offers from Kansas, Arizona, Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky and Syracuse. He graduates high school this May. Toward the end of the second half, the Kansas student section began a "We want Selby" chant that drew a smile on his face.

Kentucky defeats No.12 Tennessee
LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Wall had 24 points — one short of his career high — and Eric Bledsoe added 16 as No. 3 Kentucky fought off No. 12 Tennessee for a 73-62 victory Saturday night.
Down 52-50 midway through the second half after a three-point play by J.P. Prince, Kentucky (24-1, 9-1) scored the next 10 points — six of them by Wall — to give John Calipari his first win over Bruce Pearl in their first Southeastern Conference matchup.
Bledsoe, Kentucky's other freshman backcourt star, climbed the victory with three clutch shots in a row: a fastbreak layup followed by two 3-pointers.
Bobby Maze led the Vols (18-6, 6-4) with 15 points. Melvin Goin's had a career-high 14.

Team divides and conquers at three meets this weekend
TRACK & FIELD
BY ANDREW HAMMOND
ahammond@kansan.com
The Kansas track team was divided among three separate meets on Saturday and Sunday, but all the layhawks came back with similar results: a successful weekend. Overall, the队 broke three school records and many athletes clinched provisional qualifications for the NCAA Indoor Championships.
TYSON INVITATIONAL Where: Fayetteville, Ark.
What Happened: Two individual athletes, along with the women's 4X400 relay team, achieved season bests.
Best Performance: Kelsey Erb had a jump of 1.7 meters to win the bronze medal in the high jump event.
Notes: Jordan Scott reached his season high in the pole vaulting event with a height of 5.43 meters, which was good enough for a third place finish. That result is also the fifth highest in the country this season. The women's 4X400 relay team finished with a season-best time of 3:41:79.
ISU CLASSIC
What Happened: Five athletes set personal records.
Best Performance: Amanda Miller broke a school record in the 5,000 meter run with a time of 16:27.03, which placed her fourth overall in the final standings. Along with the record-breaking run, Miller smashed her previous personal best time by 40 seconds.
Notes: Rebecca Neville competed in three events and set personal records in two of the three. Neville
ran in the 60 meter hurdles in 8.82 seconds, finishing 10th in that event. In the high jump, she also posted a personal record of 1.58 meters.
AIR FORCE INVITATIONAL
Where: Colorado Springs, Colo.
What Happened: Mason Finley's Colorado homecoming and Kansan throwers going against teams from the western part of the country.
Best Performance: Mason Finley, who hails from Salida, Colo., won the women's shot put with a mark of 18.42 meters. Finley has met the NCAA provisional in every meet this season.
Notes: Brian Bishop finished with a mark of 16.23 meters, a career best throw for which he finished in fourth place.

major factors on his side: a consistent ability to win and an undying passion for the game.
It is difficult to defy time and maintain the steady level of a top-10 program. Let's play the hopefully conservative card and say that Kansas finishes the season 36-3 (one more regular season loss, win the Big 12 tournament and reach the elite eight). Then play the highly speculative card and say that Self, 47, remains at Kansas until he is 60 years old and averages 27 wins per season. That would put Self at a grand total of 763 wins — legendary status.
Now one must understand, these are lofty expectations, even for a historical winner like Self. To do so, he must not only preserve his proven recruiting and coaching skills, he must also convert those commodities into year-to-year success as the gray hairs grow by the season. Don't think that the rest of the Big 12 is going to sit and watch Self climb the ladder of history either. The supremacy of the entire conference isn't falling soon.
But as long as the years come, so should the winning, whether it's 27 or 23 per year. The potential mitigating factor revolves around the nature of sports economics.
"I think the business has changed enough where guys aren't going to coach for as many years." Self said. "Coaches are making more money so you don't have to work as long to retire. How much was coach Wooden making in his last year at UCLA?"
According to ESPN's Rick Reilly, no more than $35,000 a year. That was 1975. Today, Self pulls in a clean $3 million a year.
For Sell to rise in the ranks, the appeal of an early retirement must place second to the value of cutting down a net. But wherever he finishes, 500, 600 or 903 (one ahead of D-1 leader Bob Knight), cherish the time that Sacra graces the Kansas sideline.
Every time that he so casually strolls onto Naismith Court before the opening tip, look at Self as a brilliant coach, not a man hiking for numbers. Even though he's got those, too

Coach Bill Self shakes the hand of Athletic Director Lew Perkins after receiving a commemorative ball for his 400th victory during his 17 year coaching career Saturday.
Henry finally effective in Big 12
BY COREY THIBODEAUX

The solution to Xavier Henry's shooting woes seemed so simple the way he described it after Saturday's game.
"You can call it a slump, but I just know if I keep shooting the ball, I'm going to get better," Henry said.
Following his 15-point performance at Texas last Monday, Henry had 16 against Iowa State, leading the Jayhawks to a 73-59 victory.
Since the start of conference play, a new Henry emerged — one that hasn't been much of a factor in Big 12 games.
the conference had nothing to do with him scoring double figures only four times in 10 conference contests.
But Henry said he has done virtually nothing to correct the problem. He's just putting up more and more shots, hoping they go in.
“There’s little things I tweak and stuff like that, but other than that, it’s just my mindset,” Henry said.
After the game, senior guard Sherron Collins popped into the conversation about Henry's new hot streak.
"See, he's already learning: stay positive," Collins said.
As the only senior of the team, Collins shared his experiences with Henry, going through freshman slumps.
"I went through those slumps
real bad," Collins said. "The older guys helped me and now I have to pass it down. It's my team. I have to make sure everybody's happy and on the same page."
But the jayhawks went on a 14-0 run — the first nine of those points coming in the span of a minute — to get a stranglehold on the game.
Henry went 3-of-5 from 3-point range, including a stretch when he had eight consecutive points for the jayhawks. At the end of the first half, coach Bill Self, who won his 400th game, said Henry lost his rhythm briefly after an offensive foul midway through the first half
"He shot the ball well from
But Henry kept chucking and scored eight points in each half. Being a natural scorer, that's all he could do.
"I'm a shooter so it's not like I've never shot the ball before and I'm going to keep missing every single day," he said.
Collins, who struggled shooting 4-for-14 from the floor, didn't have to do much. The Jayhawks looked like they were in trouble early, but a lineup led by sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior Tyrel Reed continued to pour on points with Collins on the bench.

Game to remember
After the game coach Bill Self said Taylor has been a mystery, having so much talent and speed but not using it. The first half wasn't good for Taylor (Self said he was "just out there"). But the sophomore guard was a main cog in the Jayhawk's defining 14-0 run with Sherron Collins on the bench. When they played Nebraska, Taylor was also an integral part in the big run in that game.

You can just look at Collins's stats for each game and determine how that game went. In this case, he went 4-of-14 from the floor with 11 points, meaning he wasn't needed and the Jayhawks were in control of the game. What made life even worse for Collins was when he missed a wide-open layup, what he said was the one of his career. "I guess Brady's free throw rubbed off on me on my layup," he said.

Quote of the night
"That wasn't really much of a celebration. Brady (Morningstar) was the ring leader saying 'great job, great job.' I told him no thanks to him. I say that jokingly, but he was trying to make a big deal so I wouldn't get on his butt in the locker room."

Prime plays
1ST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY)
14:04- Sherron Collins found his way under the basket, passing it while double-teamed. That extra man came from guarding Cole Aldrich, who was standing wide open for the dunk. (10-8)
8:36- Eight straight points for Xavier Henry. After a layup, he hit back-to-back threes to give the Jayhawks their biggest lead so far at seven. (23-16)
4:37- Jeff Withey comes into the game and immediately hit a running jump hook. There's not much left to say after that. (28-20)
0:03- Sherron Collins put the moves on Scott Christopher-son and gave the Jayhawks a snazzy look layup just before halftime. (35-26)
2ND HALF
12:30- Moments after the Cyclones were within two, Tyshawn Taylor steals the inbounds and makes a layup. Combined with Tyrel Reed's
free throws on the previous play, the Jayhawks get four points in five seconds. (44-38)
12:05- Xavier Henry hit his third three of the game. The game was close just a second ago it seemed. (47-38)
9:16- Just a few minutes ago, everyone was on the edge of their seats wondering if the Jayhawks were going to see an upset in the Fieldhouse. This Sherron Collins three-pointer was just one of the many reasons not to get "upset." (57-40)
5:10 At first you ask yourself why Marcus Morris is trying to put a move on a defender and dribbling the ball between his legs. Then you see pull up jumpers like that and question it no longer. (67-49)
3:56- Here's the easiest way to describe it: Elijah Johnson steals the ball, passes it behind the back to Tyrel Reed. Reed touch-passes it up to the rim and Johnson was there to tap it in. All of this fancy action was on the fast-break. (71-51)
Keystats
The Jayhawks dominated in a couple categories- Their bench outscored the Cyclones 22-4 and outscored them in the paint 34-14.

Iowa State scored 59, which is the lowest for any conference opponent this season. Not since Temple Jan. 2 has an opponent scored so few on Kansas.

Kansas ripping the heart out of opponents with dramatic scoring runs
BY TIM DWYER

twitter.com/udkbasketball
It's becoming quite the trend for No. 1 Kansas. Let a team hang around and build hopes that it can steal a game from the number one team in the country, call a timeout, then rip the opponent's heart out with a stretch of dominant basketball that only one team — Tennessee on Jan. 10 — has found an answer for.
The latest episode in this series was Saturday against Iowa State, following similar showings against
Nebraska and at Texas before that.
After junior forward Craig Brackins nailed a 3-pointer and brought the Cyclones (13-10) within two points with less than 14 minutes left, coach Bill Self called a timeout and Kansas unleashed a 14-0 run on its way to a 73-59 victory.
Sophomore forward Marcus Morris, who finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds, said the Cyclones being so close triggered the run.
"We had to pull it out some type of way," Morris said. "We weren't waiting for them to be down two
or anything, but that's just the way it happened."

of a knack for doing all the little things right. Instead, it was three bench players — sophomore forward Markieff Morris, junior guard Tyrel Reed and sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor — and starters Marcus
Morris and freshman guard Xavier Henry that did the heavy lifting for the jayhawks.
"That 14-0 run in the second half, that was started by Tyshawn, Tyrel, Xavier and the twins." Self said. "That was our best lineup tonight in that stretch. That certainly put the game away."
"Even when things aren't going right for somebody we can come in and he can put a sub in and it can turn around just like that," Henry said. "That's how we do. That's how

we play."
As deep as the Jayhawks are, the players give credit to Self, who picked up his 400th career victory Saturday, for knowing how to fire the team up in a timeout.
Apparently it's equal parts putting the fear of God into them — "I think we just notice when coach is really mad," Henry said — and motivating them.
"He is a great motivator," Collins said. "When he gets on you, he tells us what we need to know."

It was again back and forth in the second overtime, while Kansas and Texas mostly traded free throws as time ran down. With Kansas trailing 85-82 and holding possession of the ball with 23 seconds left, Henrickson called a 30-second timeout.
She said that the original play was to go for a quick two and then foul, but once the clock fell to under 10 seconds, someone had to take a 3-pointer.

Sophomore forward Nicolette Smith reaches for a block during the first half. Kansas lost 85-82 to Texas in double overtime Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
Failure to capitalize
Freshman forward Carolyn Davis and fellow freshman guard Monica Engelman combined to score 51 points in Saturday's near upset of No. 14 Texas.Their individual totals represent career highs and they both hit shots at crucial times in the game. This not only gives Kansas hope for the rest of the season, but also shows a potentially bright future for women's basketball.
Freshmen stars
Reason to mope
Reason to hope
Whether it was a missed free throw or a late foul, Kansas continually found ways to let Texas back into the game. The mistakes eventually led to the Jayhawks second straight defeat against a ranked opponent at home. And worse: It was often Kansas' seniors committed the mistakes. The loss moved Kansas to 4-5 in conference play with several tough games remaining.
What to watch out for
Sade Morris
Senior guard Sade Morris shot rather poorly against Texas as she made only 5-of-22 attempts while scoring just 10 points. Her willingness to keep shooting even when she isn't making many of her shots reveals a determination that was not present earlier this season. In any event, though, Morris's shots are bound to start falling sooner or later and when that happens she's in for a big game.

In games against then No. 9 Xavier, No. 15 Oklahoma State, No. 3 Nebraska and Saturday against No. 14 Texas, at least three Kansas players scored in double figures. In the games against the Cornhuskers and Longhorns, the Jayhawks were playing without injured guards Danielle McCray and Angel Goodrich.
Taking a closer look at that first point reveals a Kansas team that has come together and played strong when facing adversity.

Two points of interest are extremely prevalent here. First, Kansas has found a way to compete in games against ranked teams. On a negative note though, on each occasion Kansas has failed to finish the games.
Once again, Kansas seemed poised to defeat a tough,ranked team. And once again, Kansas faltered down the stretch, failing to capitalize on an upset opportunity as the Jayhawks lost 85-82 to No.14 Texas in double overtime Saturday.
This has evolved into an all too familiar trend for Kansas (14-9). The Jayhawks have lost to ranked teams on six different occasions throughout the season and they've lost four of those games by an average of less than five points.
"We've put ourselves in position to win a couple of big games," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We haven't found a way to finish, though."
and play together and it's worked out for us."
The in-game intensity instilled in the Jayhawks from playing without their injured teammates has yet to make up for several glaring holes that have, at various times, prevented them from coming away with victories instead of defeats.
Saturday was one example of this when Texas dominated Kansas on the offensive boards in regulation. The Longhorns pulled in 17 offensive rebounds throughout the
initial two halves of play, while the Jayhawks managed to get just 12 boards.
In the two overtime periods, Kansas allowed Texas to garner just one more offensive rebound. But the defensive effort did not come soon enough for the Jayhawks to win the game.
"I think if we're a better rebounding team in regulation, we don't go to overtime," Henrickson said.
That was also a key issue for the Jayhawks in their game against the Cornhuskers. Nebraska grabbed 11 more offensive rebounds and had twelve more second-chance points than Kansas in a seven-point win.
"I was a little disappointed because we did not come out and
finish the game," senior guard Sade Morris said. "It was unfortunate because we could have won this one."
The occasional lack of determination to get rebounds typifies an ongoing lack of toughness late in games for the Jayhawks.

"We weren't fighting the way that we should have," freshman forward Carolyn Davis said. "They weren't going to lose that game and they weren't going to give it to us."
This problem was extremely prevalent in a five-minute scoreless streak for the Jayhawks midway through the second half.
During that stretch Kansas often got to the basket, but failed to follow through. Davis had one shot blocked and others knocked away before she could even attempt a field goal. She wasn't the only culprit as several Jayhawks suffered through the same issues.
Even when Kansas did get shots up, the ball bounced everywhere on the rim except through the hoop.
"It's no different than the other night," Henrickson said referring to the loss at Nebraska. "We struggled to find a way to finish."

After losing 6-1 against Iowa,
Kansas battled back with a win
in the second half of a home
doubleheader Sunday, defeating
South Dakota 7-0.
"It is tough to lose the way we did," assistant coach German Dalmagro said. "We lost, but at the same time, I think we played some very good matches, so we try to come out and make it up. You can always learn. I think they bounced back really well against South Dakota."
Iowa was led by sophomore Sonja Molnar who is ranked No. 65 in singles by the Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
"Molnar sits behind the baseline and hits a lot of balls," Dalmagro said. "She makes it hard."
In doubles, Molnar and junior Lynne Poggensee-Wei faced sophomore Kate Morozova and freshman Sara Lazarevic.
The match went into a tiebreaker with Iowa winning 9-8. The match was fast-paced and hard-played. Morozova went on to face Molnar in singles where she kept the first set tight, forcing a tiebreaker, but lost 7-6, 6-1 to the nationally ranked Molnar.
"She is a fighter, she is a grinder and she makes a lot of balls," Dalmagro said. "She made her earn every point. And Kate, she is tough. She did a good job hanging in there and playing well."
For their matches against South Dakota, Kansas switched into their pink jerseys that were debuted in their battle with UMKC, and they swept all matches — both singles and doubles.
The doubles team of Morozova and freshman Vika Khanevskaya were the only team to win in doubles in both matches.

Jayhawks'rough start leads to strong finish
BY ZACH GETZ

While they may have been wearing Kansas softball jerseys, senior pitcher Sarah Vertelka said she didn't recognize the team that took the field Friday.
"That wasn't Kansas softball" Vertelka said.
The Jayhawks lost each of their opening games by eight runs and scored a combined two runs in both contests. Kansas looked like it might have been headed down the wrong path by starting off the season 0-2, including a run-spread in the fifth inning
in each game.
Kansas suffered a 10-2 loss to No. 21 Louisville on Friday before losing to Sam Houston State 8-0 later in the day.
"We were embarrassed for that game," coach Megan Smith said of the loss to Sam
Houston State. "We owed them one."
That's exactly what Kansas did.
That's exactly what Kansas did. Smith, who coached her first games at Kansas this weekend, told the Jayhawks they needed to put Friday's disappointments behind them. The players listened to Smith's message and Kansas bounced back and took out its frustrations against Sam Houston
State on Saturday, shutting out the Bearkats 10-0 in the second meeting of the two teams.
What was on our mind was getting revenge and playing the ball that we know how to play.
Senior shortstop Sara Ramirez said it felt good to take some of the frustration out on Sam Houston State.

"Our main goal was to do the same thing that they did to us," Ramirez said. "What was on our mind was getting revenge and playing the ball that we know how to play."
Kansas continued its winning streak by beating Houston 4-3 in the second of two games Saturday. The weekend ended with a 4-2 loss
against No.16 Ohio State Sunday

Kansas finally managed to get its offense going, scoring 10 runs off nine hits. And the Jayhawks also received a strong pitching effort as freshman Alex Jones pitched six scoreless innings. The win helped the Jayhawks receive a lift in confidence that the team needed to finish the weekend strong.
Kansas will see action again when Kansas travels to Gainesville, Fla., to compete in the Lipton Invitational against Marshall, Florida, Campbell and East Carolina next weekend.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas (24-1, 10-0) is cruising through Big 12 competition right now. They have a close one every now and then, but always find a way to win. Texas Tech (18-9,7-3) is also good at finding ways to win close games. Both teams are coming in with winning streaks on the line. The Jayhawks are 14-1 all-time versus the Aggies including three straight. Not to mention, Kansas is 6-0 in the Reed Center. Now with 56 straight home victories, the last team to beat the Jayhawks at home were the Aggies.

hangs his head. He seems to have overcome that problem recently.
Is the Saturday-to-Monday turnaround going to catch up with Kansas?
QUESTION MARK
The Aggies are in the same boat as the Jayhawks, playing on Saturday and coming right back on Monday. But this is the second week out of three the Jayhawks play a Big Monday game. Even though Texas A&M is playing better than Texas at the moment, the Kansas players are not nearly asamped to play this game. The Jayhawks got by last week on their anticipation for the Longhorns and fatigue didn't seem like a factor. This game has the ingredients for a let-down.

STARTERS
Sherron Collins. senior guard
When Collins goes 4-of-14 like he did against Iowa State, nobody got worried. The team didn't need him, so he didn't demand the ball. He did have a moment of clutchness right before halftime of Saturday's game when he had a crossover move to get a layup as the clock was winding down. Just a hunch, but he may be needed against the Aggies.
★★★★
Morris
Brady Morningstar, junior guard
He isn't widening any eyes on the stat sheet like his botched free throw is on YouTube. But time and time again we see him penetrate the lane, kick the ball out and good things happen. On the defensive end, he had a timely steal and took it in for a layup against the Cyclones. He'll guard the high-scoring Donald Sloan at times.

Aldrich
★★★☆☆

Xavier Henry, freshman guard
★★★☆
If Henry has truly found his shot like the past couple games, it's good news for Kansas and bad news for everyone else. With Collins, Aldrich, Marcus Morris and Henry all capable of leading the team on any given night, that's just too much for any one team to handle.
Morris has three double-doubles in his last five games, five on the season. He was a monster on the offensive glass against Iowa State, though his 4-of-12 from the floor can improve. Behind Collins, Morris is playing more minutes than any Jayhawk right now.
Marcus Morris, sophomore forward
Cole Aldrich, junior center
★★★☆
Recently, Aldrich has shown symptoms of Sherron Collins-syndrome: If a game isn't super competitive, he won't light it up. The past three games, he has one game where he scored or rebounded in double figures. But looking at the two overtime games, he averaged 17 points and 12.5 rebounds. Against the Aggies, Aldrich is poised for a big night.

Taylor
★★★★
SIXTH MAN
A 28-5 run against Nebraska and 14-0 run against Iowa State both had one common denominator: Tyshawn Taylor ran most of the show. Even coach Bill Self said Taylor was a mystery; he has so much talent but doesn't always use it. Taylor didn't have a great first half against the Cyclones, but turned it up in the second half, finishing with seven points and four assists.

Sloan is the key cog in the Aggies' lineup. He's had to pick up the slack after fellow senior Derrick Roland's grusome leg injury, and he's done so admirably, averaging 19.3 points per game since his backcourt-mate went down in late December.

Harris is one of the best protectors of the ball in the conference, with a 2.1-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

He shoots just 47 percent from the free throw line.

QUESTION MARK
Kansas has three road wins against teams in the RPI top-30, two of them against top-15 teams. Texas A&M is currently No. 13 in the RPI as of Sunday afternoon. Defeating Texas A&M won't come easy, though, as the Aggies haven't lost at home this season. The most impressive of those 13 home wins was a 78-71 victory against Baylor last week.

...the Jayhawks take the Aggies for granted. It was obvious when Kansas played Texas all the players wanted that game. Against Texas A&M, not so much. Even though the Aggies are in second place in the Big 12, they don't have the same aura Texas did. The Jayhawks won't get a lot of time to prepare or even rest. If the Aggies jump out to an early lead, their home court advantage might be enough to help them to victory.

Medical marijuana bill reaches House
BY ROBERT ALTMAN
raltman@kansan.com
While state legislators were working this month to outlaw synthetic forms of marijuana such as K2, a new House bill sprouted that proposes the real thing be made available in Kansas.
Gail Finney, a Wichita House Democrat who serves on the House Health and Human Services
Committee, introduced bill 2610 this month. It calls for the legal use of marijuana for medical purposes.
"This is definitely a marathon not a sprint," Finney said.
While the bill closely resembles those of the 14 states that already allow the use of cannabis for medical reasons, Kansas likely has a long way to go before actually passing the bill.
"I at least want to open up the door for discussion" she said.
Finney's bill makes Kansas one of the 13 states that now have pending legislation to legalize medical marijuana.
Part of Finney's reason for writing the bill comes from her empathy with the chronically ill, she said. Finney suffers from Lupus and said she has experienced negative side effects from medications.
She decided to take action after receiving numerous positive testimonies from people who have used cannabis as an alternative.
According to Pain Management of Americas website, doctors typically prescribe marijuana to treat chronic pain, nausea, glaucoma, seizure disorders, cancer, diabetes, muscle spasms and other ailments.

Spatula-like surgical tool found in woman
PRAGUE—It took five long months for a Czech woman to discover the reason for her pain: Doctor's left a foot-long medical tool inside her abdomen.
This month, doctors at a clinic in the southeastern town of Ivancec discovered their colleagues had forgotten to remove a spatulalike surgical instrument from the woman following gynecological surgery in September.
Clinic head Jaramir Hrubes blamed "a series of individual failures" and said four employees had been punished.
Top regional official Michal Hasek apologized Zdenka Kopeckova, 66, and said Monday that the region, which is in charge of the clinic, plans to compensate he

Ohio man creates entertaining igloo
AQUILLA, Ohio — It's quite the man cave.

Small town politics, lifestyle deter new family
HAZELTON, N.D. — A tiny North Dakota town's promise of cash and free land lured only one family from out of state. Now, Michael and Jeanette Tristani and their 12-year-old twins are trying to move from the town without a traffic light back to Miami.
Tired of crime, traffic, hurricanes and the high cost of living in Florida, the Tristanis moved four years ago to Hazelton, an dwindling
town of about 240 that has attempted to attract young families to stay on the map.
"We don't have to look over our shoulder to see who's going to rob us,or jump out of the bushes to attack us."
"We don't have to look over our shoulder to see who's going to rob us, or jump out of the bushes to attack us." Tristani said. "Taxes are low, the cost of living is low and the kids enjoy school."
MICHAEL TRISTANI Hazelton resident
Michael Tristani, 42, said at the time the 1,800-mile move was "an answer to our prayers."
Rural communities across the Great Plains, fighting a decadeslong population decline, are trying a variety of ways to attract outsiders. But the Tristanis show how the efforts can fail even at a time when many people are desperate.
But the family also found a cliquey community that treated them like outsiders. "For my wife, it's been a culture shock," he said.
Besides cash and free land, Hazelton had little else to offer except elbow room. Surrounded by flat farm land and livestock, the century-old town boasts three churches, a bank, a grain elevator and a bar.
"It's been quite an experience, 50-50 at best," Tristani said. "It hasn't been easy. No one really wants new people here."
The Hazelton Development Corp., formed by a determined group of citizens, began running ads in 2005 offering families up to two free lots and up to $20,000 toward home purchases. Businesses were offered free lots
and up to $50,000 for setting up shop in the town.
Like many small towns across rural America, the once thriving farming community began shrinking as residents moved on or passed away.
the project to lure new residents, said Hazelton had hundreds of inquiries from around the world when the community's proposal made headlines across the country. Several families from other states visited the town but only the Tristanis made the commitment to move.

Michael Tristani came from his native Florida wearing gold necklaces and a Rolex and driving a Lexus. He proved as foreign as a flamingo in a place where pickups, farm caps and flannel shirts are de rigeur.
"People thought I was a drug dealer" he said.
Tristani said he was prepared for Hazelton's bitter winters — when wind chills can reach 50-degrees below zero and snow drifts are measured in feet — but not the small-town drama.
"People prejudge you without getting to know you," jeanette Tristani said.
The couple bought a house built by students at an American
in Bismarck.
The home was moved to town and put on two lots donated by the city.
The Tristanis bought a third lot and were later given $15,000.
allege one of the owners drove by their house yelling obscenities and threatened to damage the family's new home.
"He appears to be out of control," The Tristanis wrote in court papers. "At times, it's difficult to understand the rest of the words he's using on my family due to his uproar."
Both businesses are now shuttered.
After his bistro failed, Michael Tristani said he began buying old houses in Bismarck, fixing them up and reselling them to earn money. Jeanette, 44, lost her job last year at a call center in nearby Linton when the business failed.
"Not everybody fits in in a small town."
The Tristanis say the family
Tristani, a former grocery worker, and his wife, a former real estate agent, opened a bistro and coffee shop. But within weeks of moving to the city, the couple petitioned for a restraining order against the owners of another coffee shop. The Tristanis

enjoys spending time together and has little to do with the locals. They relish trips to a Wal-Mart in Bismarck.
The couple's home in
Hazelton has been on the market since August, though the for-sale sign has been covered with snow for weeks.
School Superintendent Brandt Dick said losing the Tristani twins, a boy and a girl in the seventh grade, would be a blow to the shrinking enrollment.
Dick said there are 72 students enrolled at the local high school, and that the number is expected to fall to 31 in four years.
"We are declining in numbers and will continue to decline unless something changes," he said.
Jeanette said the main reason she wants to move back to the Miami area is to care for her elderly parents. Michael said he couldn't convince his wife's parents to join them in Hazelton.
Bev Voller, a member of the nonprofit development group, said the incentives were funded largely through private money, much of it from "an anonymous donor."
But, she says, "the cash thing is over now."
Kim Preston, a spokeswoman for the rural advocacy group Center for Rural Affairs, based in Lyons, Neb., said the offer of free land to lure new residents to wilting towns is a phenomenon that started in the past decade.
But the small communities that have had success are near larger communities, she said.
"The cold weather has them freaked," he said.
It's a 45-minute drive from Hazelton to Bismarck — in good weather. And the weather is often bad.
"For it to work,it needs to be no more than a 30-minute commute," she said.

DRUG TRAFFICKING

Cocaine-for-arms worries U.N.

"And before this becomes a very serious problem, it has to be dealt with and nipped in the bud." Costa said.
DAKAR, Senegal — Cocaine shipped to West Africa by Latin American drug cartels is now being traded for arms, the U.N.'s drug czar said Monday — an exchange of contraband that is especially dangerous in a region now home to cells of an al-Qaida-linked terror group.
Antonio Maria Costa, executive director of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime, said "there is more than just spotty evidence" indicating a link between drug traffickers and terror groups.
Cocaine from South America has been moving through the
West African coast for several years; exports believe drugs are then parceled out to smugglers who move the cocaine north by boats and by road. One suspected smuggling
"There is plenty of evidence of drugs moving, arriving in West Africa from across the Atlantic."
State crosses portions of the Sahara desert controlled by insurgents.
The cocaine-for-arms trade is especially worrying given the recent expansion of an al-Qaida-linked terror group, which was once based exclusively in Algeria but now has tentacles in Mauritania, Mali and Niger.
There has been growing concern that the rebels are believed to be collaborating with al-Qaida in the Islamic Magreb, an Algeria-based terror group that joined Osama bin Laden's terrorist network in 2006. Last year, four British tourists were kidnapped at the border of Mali and Niger. They are believed to have been kidnapped by Tuareg gunmen but then handed over to the terror group, which later murdered one of the British
Several relatively stable West African countries have a foot in the Sahara — including Mali and Niger, whose porous border has long been a smuggling route for ethnic Tuareg rebels fighting a rebellion there for years.
"There is plenty of evidence of a double flow, drugs moving, arriving into West Africa from across the Atlantic ... and the trading — exchange — of cocaine for arms," Costa said.
the drugs came by private plane and were divided out to smugglers paid in cash to move it north.
For at least five years, traffickers in Latin America have been using the poor and politically unstable countries of West Africa as transit points for Europe-bound cocaine. Until recently, officials believed

associates plotting to ferry drug through the Sahara desert to raise money for terror attacks.
Prosecuters called it evidence of a growing alliance between terror chiefs and drug lords.
Costa said there is also new evidence of drug production in West Africa. In 2009, U.N. officials discovered a warehouse in Guinea's capital containing the precursor ingredients for manufacturing synthetic drugs such as ecstasy. He said traffickers in some countries in the region have gone so far as to try their hand at growing opium — the raw ingredient used to make heroine — which is almost exclusively grown in Afghanistan.
"But the climate is not right — and the soil is not right," he said.

Creator of 'The Office' and 'Extras' started as a stand-up comic at 22
Comedian reflects on roots
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
PASADENA, Calif. — You can't miss him. British comic Stephen Merchant, who co-wrote the original "The Office" and "Extras" with Ricky Gervais, is 6-foot-7 inches tall. He reached those stratospheric proportions in his early teens, and has felt an outcast ever since.
"If you feel a little bit of an outsider then maybe you use humor and you feel more in control," he says sitting in the courtyard of a hotel here, his long legs at an angle as they don't fit under the glass-topped table.
"I felt very self-conscious. I remember doing some school plays where I got to joke around and got a good reaction from other kids and parents saying, 'You were very good in that play.' And I was always a big fan of comedy. I watched it religiously and when they published the scripts I would read them," he says.
Merchant translated his insecurity into standup and hilarious bits with Gervais, which included his role as Ricky's horribly inept manager in "Extras." A lifetime fan of Pythoner John Cleese, Merchant says, "He was born in a place very near to Bristol where I grew up ... Because he was very tall, he was one of my
heroes. Because he'd come from my local area I sort of felt maybe, 'Well, he's done it, maybe I could.' It was very arrogant of me to think I could be another John Cleese, but I was inspired more than thinking I could be anything like bear.'
But hewaslike him. The first time Merchant tried standup at 22 (his parents had to drop him off as he didn't have a car), he triumphed. The second time, he bombed.
since then has been that same roller-coaster. Sometimes it kills, sometimes it doesn't. But it was very formative in that regard because it gave me confidence that I could do it, that I wasn't wasting my time. But at the same time it rattled me because it wasn't as easy as I thought it was. I couldn't do it every time. I had to work at it."
He and Gervais met at a radio station. "We had a radio show and would also do other stuff at the radio station, and I left and joined the BBC" says Merchant, who's
sporting a reddish beard and horn-
rimmed glasses.
"My experienc of comedy
"And while I was at the BBC I was able to film this kind of character that Ricky had created who, in essence, became David Brent.
"It was very arrogant of me to think I could be another John Cleese, but I was inspired more than thinking I could be anything like him."

the character in 'The Office' that he did. It was through that good fortune that that whole thing got rolling."
They complemented each other: Gervais' outrage at the craziness around him fit snugly with
When they edited the film, "We just realized we had something special. Even at the time I remember thinking there's like an alchemy, there's something happened here, being really excited. It was like panning for gold and you see a little glisten and you thought maybe there's more gold in these hills. And that was a big moment, just seeing the quality of his performance and realizing that if we managed it right, we were on to something."

Walters announced this morning on "The View" that her 29 th special, which will feature interviews with nominees Sandra Bullock and MoNique, will be her last.
"I think I'm sick of them," Walters explained. "I feel I've been there, done that. Twenty-nine years is enough."
Asked by co-host Joy Behar why she didn't wait another year and make it an even 30? "That would be cliche," Walters replied.
Walters, who left "20/20" after 25 years, said she will still co-host "The View," go on special assignment for ABC News and continue with "The 10 Most Fascinating People."

Punishment for hit-and-run drivers should be increased
The recent string of hit-and-run accidents in Lawrence has made it clear that
The most recent driver versus pedestrian hit-and-run accident on Jan. 31 left 32-year-old Krystyn Renfro in critical condition. The offender remains on the loose.
In the past four years there have been three fatal hit-and-run accidents, including the death of Rachel Leek, a 20-year-old former KU student. The drivers fled the scene in all four cases.
Leek's death has led her family to advocate for tougher hit-and-run laws. We support the Leek family in its efforts.
Under current state law, fleeing the scene of an accident involving great bodily harm classifies as a level 10 Person Felony Offense
— the least severe felony under Kansas sentencing guidelines. Fleeing the scene of an accident resulting in a death is merely one level higher.
Kansas lawmakers have come a long way in legislation concerning hit-and-run accidents. Before
2007, leaving the scene of an accident where someone had been seriously injured or killed classified only as a misdemeanor. As the recent hit-and-run accidents show, this is still not enough to deter drivers from driving away
The law then-governor Kathleen Sebelian signed into effect in 2007 was a good first step. But harshal punishment are needed to dissuade drivers from fleeing the scene of an accident.
Police said the drivers in the three fatal accidents had been drinking before the crashes. Each would have faced more serious alcohol charges had they stayed, but because they fled prosecutors had no evidence. The drivers' jail sentences ranged from just 14 to 90 days.
Given the current law, fleeing the scene remains less risky than staying and seeking assistance. Those laws need strengthening so drivers have a greater incentive to stay and seek help for injured victims. The three deaths may have been avoided had the drivers sought immediate medical assistance.
Joel Hernandez, the driver who hit Rachel Leek in October, has been charged with vehicular homicide, a misdemeanor under Kansas
statutes and may not face prison time. Had police located Hernandez at the scene of the accident under the influence of alcohol, prosecutors could have charged him with involuntary manslaughter — a level four felony carrying three to 14 years in prison
The existing loophole that encourages drunk drivers to leave the scene of an accident demands an immediate fix.
These four hit-and-run accidents in Douglas County and the resulting sentences makes it clear that the law deserves major overhauls. Strengthening the law in a way that dissuades drivers from fleeing is one of the best ways to help prevent future deaths.
Michael Holtz for The Kansan Editorial Board
On the lookout:
Police are still looking for the suspect involved in the Jan. 31 accident. Police described the car as a silver or light colored 2004 to 2006 Mazda 3 with possible front end damage. If you have any information, please call the Lawrence police at (785) 830-7430, or CrimeStoppers at (785) 843-TIPS.

Technology intensifies complications in dating
Text from typical college male: We should hang out soon :) .
T
Yeah, they probably wouldn't have much insight.
Thought process of typical college female: What's with the smiley face? Does that mean he likes me? Or does that mean I'm just a future booty call? What does "hang out" mean? Go on a date or sit and watch his roommates drink and play "Madden"? And what's with the "soon"?
Welcome to the confusing dating culture of Generation Y. Here we are thinking that technology was supposed to make life easier, while, in reality, it is just complicating it. All of the digital communication that now dominates our social world is blurring the already obscure lines of dating dos and don'ts.
How would Dad respond to questions on the appropriate waiting period before sending a Facebook request to the hottie from the Hawk?
What would Mom have to say about the winky face a boy sent in a text?
Parents used to be able to teach their children basic rules of courtship. Not anymore.

Consequentially, we're a culture inventing our own rules of pursuit.

How reassuring. I no longer blame the average college male's level of immaturity or my own over-demanding nature to be the reason why I have yet to find love in college.
BY MANDY MATNEY
I blame technology. I'm hating the game and not the player.
All of this pseudo-communication is complicating the male-female dating pursuit. Dating has dissolved into "hanging out." Authentic conversations are dwindling into texting, Facebook chatting, tweeting and poking.
Back in the pre-cellular/Facebook days, the rules of pursuit were simple. If a guy had interest in a girl, he would ask for her number. Within a few days he would call her and ask her out on a proper first date.
If he didn't have interest, he wouldn't call. His intentions were that clear.
A Seventeen Magazine article
written by a male in 1959 demonstrates the simplicity of old school dating;
"Once he meets a girl and becomes interested in her, a boy must indulge in a sly, artful practice called pursuit."
Compare this to the men of our generation who consider an artful pursuit to be a Facebook poke and short inbox message.
Back then, "sly, artful practice" required effort, time and consideration.
Call me old school, but I don't think humans were meant to communicate like this. Since birth humans pick up crucial non-verbal and communication skills. Tone of voice, eye contact and body language create the meaning of nearly everything we say.
Unfortunately, most of this meaning is lost via texts, e-mails, Facebook chats and the like. I mean, 160-character messages with smiley faces and LOLs can only say so much about a person.
Honestly, I couldn't care less whether I find love during college. What scares me, however, is the increased dependence of our culture on pseudo-communication.

Men: Step up to help ensure female security
Guys, sometimes I think we come off as scary. I'm not talking about
crazy, good looking" scary or "you've been playing World of Warcraft too long" scary. No, too often men can unknowingly make women anxious during the evening and at night.
One night last fall I was walking alone through the Oread neighborhood. At one point during my walk I passed a college-age girl. I could tell she was tense and nervous as she passed me. She had her cell phone up to her ear but she wasn't actually saying anything.
According to Rape Abuse Incest National Network, close to 75 percent of sexual assaults and 66 percent of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows. It would be easy for me to say that because of this statistic, it's unreasonable for women to have a high level of anxiety while out at night.
Hawk Life
Later, as I was reflecting on why the whole situation seemed odd, it occurred to me that she was probably unnerved by my presence. After all, here I was, walking down the street late at night with my head down and hands in my pockets. I was unknowingly playing into predator stereotypes.
But, the fact remains that between a third and quarter of sexual assaults and rapes, respectively, are committed by unknown individuals. Also, a recent report by the Lawrence Police Department shows the number of rapes in Lawrence was up 51 percent in 2009 from 2008. Clearly, the concerns and anxieties of women are legitimate.
There's been much written on what women can do to stay safe when out. Although that is

So, guys, here are some common sense tips:
very important, it doesn't mean there aren't things that men can do make themselves appear less foreboding and make women a bit less anxious as we go about our business.
— When walking past a woman, give her a generous amount of space, preferably as much as the street or sidewalk will allow.
— Try to stay within some kind of light, such as a street-light.
- If you're wearing a hoodie or hat that obscures your face, take it off. Personally, I think hoodies feel stereotypically predator-ish, but more practically it allows women to see your face. Many women are aware that rapists often try to prevent their victims from seeing their face in hopes it will make it harder to be identified.
— The same goes for sunglasses. And you shouldn't be wearing sunglasses at night anyway.

DJ (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
P. S. HARRIS
A crowd of dancers move to the rhythms of DJ Chairman Mao in the downstairs of the Eighth Street Taproom in Lawrence. The Taproom, particularly on Saturday nights, has become a popular venue among many DJs wanting to showcase their craft.

DJ Nick Rivera will be spinning the 'Fat Tuesday Throwdown' party tonight at The Granada. Doors will open at 9 p.m. Rivera, a senior from Wichita, said he plans to continue is DJ career after college.
Contributed photo by Chris Moll
Rivera, a senior from Wichita, said.
Travis Read, a senior from Hutchinson and a resident DJ at Wilde's Chateau 24. 2412 Iowa St., also prefers to spin house music during his sets. Read defined house music as "really intense electronic music with a lot of up-tempo and bass and fewer lyrics than typical radio songs."
"The message isn't verbal," Read said. "It's emotion through the beats."
Both Read and Rivera agreed that house music, with its beats and constant rhythm, created a steady level of dancing and energy in their clubs.
THE PAYCHECK
With their passions for house music luring hundreds of people to their gigs, the potential to earn money is vast.
Read earns $100 a night at The Chateau, where he spins three to four nights a week. He said he aims to play a house music track and mix a Top 40 hit on top of it — when both tracks play at the same time in sync with one another — consistently. Read said The Chateau recently brought in DJ AleoSHA to spin house, tribal and progressive trance music on Thursday nights, in addition to himself.
Rivera said that he wants to continue to DJ after he finishes college and that one of his goals was to be a resident house music DJ in Chicago. He hopes to eventually earn $1,000 per night, four times more than the $250 he typically earns spinning one of his "Blackout" parties at The Granada. Rivera markets his shows to KU students on Facebook, through fliers, chalking on campus and word of mouth.
Sneak's house music originated in Chicago, where 10 years ago, he was making $1,500 for two hours of play time. He has been spinning house music for more than 20 years. In the beginning, he would play for 45 minutes in exchange for $50 and a dine bag of weed.
Now, Sneak said, big-name DJs who spin house or electronic music, such as David Guetta, can charge $30,000 to $50,000 per night. Acts such as Daft Punk, a French house music duo, can make $300,000 to $400,000 a night.
"It can be a very lucrative business, and you can make a lot of money if you want to," Sneak said via telephone from Canada.
Sneak hasn't worked a "regular job" since 1994, when he started supporting himself solely through his DJ and music production work. He credits his hard work and early career training for his success. He compared his beginning years to a book he had recently read called "Outliers: The Story of Success" by Malcolm Gladwell.
THE COMMITMENT
"It talks about the 10,000 hours that you have to put into your craft before you see some sort of benefit," he said, adding that he had put in many more hours than that.

Sneak stressed the importance of training and working toward being a DJ and/or producer with a sense of individuality - spinning house music, or having anything to do with it, meant being underground and not being commercial. As difficult as a successful music career can be to attain, making a career as a DJ spinning a less-mainstream type of music can be even more difficult.
"Some people get lucky, and some people have to work very hard at it," Sneak said.

Gina Burrows, president of the Young Democrats of KU, said she has been to meetings with the Kansas Progressive Caucus and found wide hesitance among the group to support such an initiative.
He said although Kansas was historically a very socially conservative and anti-drug state, college towns such as Lawrence have always been breeding grounds for social change.
"Lawrence is by far the hotbed of progressivity, and from my point of view, real rational thought, but it has to run up against the rest of the state," St. Pierre said.
"We were definitely having a

problem getting any members of the legislature to introduce their support for such a bill, which unfortunately I think has more to do with their re-election chances than necessarily how they always feel," she said.
Burrows said that often the problem was not having a unified citizen voice to encourage legislators to support controversial initiatives.
"Most of the progressive community in Kansas feels like such a minority that they don't tend to be vocal," she said. "I really think they'd find that they are less of a minority if willing to ban together and assert to their legislators that there is a larger than expected population that would be on board."
"It could create jobs, it could create business, it could create an industry for Kansas," she said.
If the bill were to pass, it would allow "compassion centers" to dispense Kansas-grown cannabis to qualifying patients.
Finney said there was an opportunity for state revenue from the centers' licensing and fees and the possibility of taxing the product.

Road wins prove difficult

Jayhawks rise over Aggies
Winning on the road can do wonders for a team's confidence and the Jayhawks should have plenty after they clawed their way to a 59-54 victory against the Aggies. But, road wins don't come easily.
OFF. REBOUNDS KANSAS 45 DAVIS 0
The average visiting team must cope with playing in an unfamiliar environment and ignoring rowdy fans, and when the No.1 team comes to town,the intensity level of that road venue is magnified.
Kansas is 8-1 on the road this season and 4-1 on the road against ranked opponents. Their lone loss this season was against a ranked Tennessee in Knoxville on Jan. 1.
"It just goes to show when you take care of the basketball, even though 11 turnovers is too many it's pretty good on the road, and you guard, you're going to have a chance to stay in games," Bill Self said after last night's game.
Being able to come from behind and win close games away from home will be a valuable asset to the Jayhawks, especially if they are caught in tight situations during the post-season. Despite a poor night of playing from senior Sherron Collins, Kansas still had enough talent to defeat ranked Texas A&M on the road.
"That's a remarkable win considering we didn't play well at all." Self said. "It's hard for us to play real well when Sherron has a night like he had. One assist, five turnovers and he can't throw it in the ocean."
Experience may be the Jayhawks' best friend in March. Sometimes, not everything goes as planned, but it takes a team

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Whenever the Jayhawks have had a game on the line this season, they turned to Sherron Collins. But when his shots weren't falling, Collins teammates bailed him out.
Kansas pulled out a 59-54 victory in front of a hostile crowd at Texas A&M Monday night. The Jayhawks gave up 20 offensive rebounds, shot 1-for-10 behind the three-point line and got just seven points from Collins.
"I think sometimes we put too much pressure on him to make those plays," junior center Cole Aldrich said. "But we've got great guys on our team that can make those plays. Twilight just wasn't his night."
It looked like an upset in the making, but Kansas' other stars picked up the slack.
Aldrich, sophomore forward Marcus Morris and freshman guard Xavier Henry each scored 12 points. As a team the Jayhawks had serious issues on the offensive end, shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 10 percent from three.
"Tonight we were a little out of rhythm," Henry said. "It happens every now and then. We just rely on defense when that happens."
And the defense is what sealed the game
Texas A&M controlled much of the game but it only went up by as much as four. Coach Bill Self said he was impressed with his team's ability to scratch their way back into the lead.
The Aggies, who had a chance to beat then-No.1 Texas earlier this season, were up at halftime, 32-30. The score staved close in the second half as the layhawks failed to put the game away with one of their typical runs.
"They never got away from us." Self said. "The place was getting ready to go nuts if they did."
The Aggies didn't score in the final four minutes. Kansas countered with several free throws and suffocating defense.
"We hung our hat on that," Collins said. "Cole and Tyshawn played really well and they carried me because tonight I was struggling."
With 46 seconds to go, the Aggies' Dash Harris turned it over. Henry then hit two free throws and essentially put the game away. The once-boisterous crowd couldn't muster a peep.
Harris went down early and had to be carried to the locker room. He came back out and Self said he played good defense against Collins. The shooting woes were disappointing, but a victory at a hostile place like Reed Arena was good enough.
"We're finding a way to win even though we're not making shots right now, which is still positive," Self said.
In his past few games Collins hasn't played nearly as well as earlier this season when he could seemingly pour in point at will. Collins denied rumors that he may be injured and said that he expects his luck to turn around soon.
"You just keep shooting," Collins said. "Then you have to find different ways to impact the game."
At no point this season have the top four scorers of Collins, Henry, Aldrich and Morris been solid in the same game.
Still, Self said he isn't worried about it. He had the same issue with another team he used to coach and that team won a championship.
"In '08 did we have everybody play well at the same time?" he said. "But you're right; we haven't had X, Cole, Marcus and Sherron all hitting the same night. Hopefully, that game's coming."

Sophomore third basemen Tony Thompson watches the ball after a hit last season. Kansas must try to replace Thompson, who will miss at least a month with a hairline fracture in his kneecap.

Two freshmen and a sophomore will try to fill his shoes
BASEBALL
Third base open after Thompson's injury
Last week coach Ritch Price didn't worry about third base. Not with Tony Thompson manning that post.
But when the junior suffered a hairline fracture in his left knee-cap, the Jayhawks suddenly had a glaring hole to fill.
Thompson will be out for at least a month. That leaves Price with sophomore James Stanfield, as well as redshirt freshmen Jake Marasco and Jordan Dreiling,
to step in and produce. Because they're replacing a player of his caliber — Thompson won the Big 12's Triple Crown last season — the Jayhawks know they're lucky to have a number of options to fill the void.
"No one's going to be able to
do it alone,
Marasco said
"He's one of the best players in the country."
Stanfield is also one of the team's top options at catcher. The sophomore will rotate from behind the plate to third.
plate to third.
played prior to this season.
"I've been working at it and it feels pretty smooth, like I never left the spot," Stanfield said. "It doesn't feel like a new position."
Dreiling, a Lawrence native.
"No one's going to be able to do it alone. (Thompson's) one of the best players in the country."
Third base is also familiar to Marasco and Dreiling.
Stanfield said he feels comfortable making the switch back to the infield, where he had always
JAKE MARASCO Freshman third baseman
took his red shirt immediately and spent last season adjusting to theatmosphere of division I baseball. Price pressed Dreiling the best defensively of the bunch, saying
Marasco is known for his bats.
Because of his offensive prowess,
he would see action primarily as a late game defensive replacement
Marasco started 12 games in left field as a true freshman. He was granted a medical hardship after suffering an injury in mid-March. While he played third in high school, Marasco is still adjusting to being back in the infield.
"It's been a work in progress," Marasco said. "But I'm enjoying it and working hard each day."
Though each player brings in differing skills, there is a collective confidence that they can bridge the gap until Thompson returns from his injury.
"We're just going to have to step up and contribute until he gets back," Dreiling said.

MORNING BREW
P
Paul Pierce and Kirk Hinrich might be holding it down, but besides those two, it's been pretty tough going in the NBA for former Jayhawks. Here's a quick run-down on how ex-crimson and bluers are faring this year.
PAUL PIERCE (18.6 PTS, 4.7 REB, 3.3 AST)
Another All-Star selection in the bag. Pierce even took home the Foot Locker 3-Point Shootout title at this past weekend's festivities. Nothing new here. Pierce continues to add to his Hall of Fame resume.
KIRK HINRICH
KIRK HINRICH
(10.2 PTS, 3.6 REB, 4.4 AST)
With the emergence of Derrick Rose, Hinrich fell into anonymity last year and posted the worst season of his career. But Hinrich has returned to relevancy, and the starting lineup, providing a stabilizing force in the Bulls backcourt.
JAMES BROOKS
MARIO CHALMERS (7.2 PTS, 1.8 REB, 3.5 AST)
His playing time has taken a big-time hit since the Heat signed Rafer Alston — on top of the usual hit his statistics take by sharing the backcourt with D-Wade. Mario has played well in his reserve role, though he's been out since Jan. 29 with a sprained thumb.
Inconsistency has been the word for Rush this season, as he's mired in the obscurity that is Pacers basketball. He's quietly piecing together a solid year, scoring in double figures in
BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com
BRANDON RUSH (8.7 PTS, 4.1 REB, 1.3 AST)
eight of his last ten games
JULIAN WRIGHT
JULIAN WRIGHT (3.3 PTS, 2.1 REB, 0.5 AST)
The 2009-2010 season started with promise for Julian, who parlayed a strong off-season into a starting role. Unfortunately, he fell out of favor (again) with coach Byron Scott, finding himself (once again) buried on the bench. Scott has since been given the boot, but Julian still can't carve out consistent minutes in new coach Jeff Bower's rotation. A change of scenery might be in Wright's future, but for now at least, he's still a nasty bowler.
NICK COLLISON (5.4 PTS, 5.1 REB)
Not-nearly-productive-enough-Nick has done a solid job in Oklahoma City, but his numbers don't exactly match his over $6.5 million salary. That, and on a roster littered with talented youngsters fresh out of the lottery, he doesn't do much to stand out.
DREW GOODEN (8.9 PTS, 6.9 REB)
Drew has shown he still has some game, the only problem is no one seems to want him. The Mavericks just shipped him to the Wizards as part their deal for Caron Butler, making the sixth different team Gooden has played in in the past three seasons.
THE
MORNING
BREW
DARRELL ARTHUR
A torn pectoral muscle has all but destroyed Arthur's sophomore season, causing him to miss every game since the season opener. He expected to return this week though, where he looks to build on a modest rookie campaign.
DARNELL JACKSON (0.8 PTS, 0.8 REB)
The bad news? Darnell hasn't scored a point or played a significant minute since early December. The good news? He's reportedly good buddies with LeBron, which bodes well for his future in Cleveland.
SASHA KAUN
And remember our old friend Sasha Kaun? He's still playing professionally in the Euroleague, where he plays for CSKA Moscow and averages a respectable 8.5 pts. and 4.1 rebounds a game.
Oh yeah, and he's in the second year of a three year deal worth 2,700,000 euros.
That's more than $3.6 million in the States.

Coach resigns after violating regulation
DODGE CITY — The Dodge City High School football coach has resigned after district officials determined he was holding football practice during his before-school conditioning class.
The practice constituted a violation of the Kansas State High School Activities Association's rules.
Justin Burke resigned last week. Burke claimed he was introducing a game of two-hand touch into the routine to break up the daily monotony of lifting weights and running.
But the state activities association insists that what happened was football practice.

North Carolina falls out of top 25 poll
The Tar Heels fell out of The Associated Press women's basketball poll Monday for the first time in 163 weeks, while Connecticut pushed its remarkable run at No. 1 to 39 straight weeks.
North Carolina dropped from the ranking for the first time since Nov. 19, 2001. It was the fifth-longest active streak in the country behind Tennessee (447 weeks), Connecticut (309), Duke (200) and Stanford (165), and ended three weeks after the North Carolina men's program fell from the Top 25.

MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. - Luke Hochevar had some memorable games and forgettable starts in 2009 for the Kansas City Royals.
He needed only 80 pitches in nine innings on June 12 to beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-1. He struck out 13 Texas Rangers and walked none in a July 25 victory. He logged his first career shutout on Sept. 18 against the Chicago White Sox, yielding three singles and only one that left the infield.
However, the shutout at Chicago was his only victory in his final 13 starts. He went 1-10 with an 8.21 earned run average the second half.
Hochevar, who was an early arrival for the Royals' volunteer
spring training mini-camp, is trying not to dwell on how last season finished.

There're a lot of ways to lose a game. Play on the road in a tough environment. Miss opportunities. Get in foul trouble. Give up stupid fouls. Miss every three-pointer you ever take. Have the leading scorer not hit a shot from the field. Get dominated on the glass. All of these can cost a team
And Kansas did all of them against Texas A&M last night. At least, for the first 35-plus minutes of game time. Then, in the last four-and-a-half minutes, the Jayhawks screwed it on for one last push and pulled out a 59-54 victory.
Until the clock wound under five minutes, the Jayhawks were losing in most facets of the game. The Aggies were beating the Jayhawks on the glass 32-27. Marcus and Markieff Morris were both in foul trouble. Sherron Collins hit only one field goal and turned the ball over five times. And the team hit just one three-pointer the entire night, courtesy of Tyrel Reed.
But with 4 minutes and 26 seconds on the clock, Collins hit his second field goal of the night — a layup off of a Cole Aldrich steal — that tied the game at 52. Donald Sloan answered for Texas A&M with
a jumper to take a 54-32 lead with just over four minutes left, but it was last time the Aggies scored.
From Collins' lawup, the Jayhawks transformed. They outrebounded the Aggies 6-3. They stifled every Texas A&M attempt at offense. They didn't foul once.
"I don't know if we ever really turned it around, but we played really good the last four minutes," coach Bill Self said in a
postgame interview with ESPN. "Holding to 54 is a pretty good sum."
There's no faulting the Jayhawks' defensive effort, even early on. The Aggies finished just 22-of-68 from the field and 5-of-21 from long range to score a season low 54 points.
Kansas somehow managed to stick around, despite being outplayed in nearly every facet of the game for those first 35 minutes. With five minutes left in the game, the Jayhawks

The Jayhawks' resiliency, forged in hard fought road games such as Kansas State and Colorado, won Monday night and, in all likelihood, clinched the Jayhawks' sixth consecutive league title.
COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
When Kansas eventually plays in the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, they will be playing teams away from home and in high-stress situations. This year's team is even a step ahead in terms of success away from home from the 2008 National Championship team, who lost three road games in
effort to pull off a win like the Jayhawks did last night.

"To think that they had like 14 points at the first TV timeout with more than 15 minutes left," Self said. "So basically the last 25 minutes we hold them to 40 points. I thought we really defended them well."

- Edited by Sarah Bluvas
Cole Aldrich
There weren't any truly spectacular individual performances Monday night, but Aldrich quietly had himself a nice little game, going for 12 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks. His defensive presence clearly altered the Texas A&M game plan, and he held second-leading scorer Bryan Davis to just four points.

PETER M. WALKER
In a tough road environment like the Reed Arena, a team needs its senior leaders to step up. For the majority of Monday night, Collins was nowhere to be found. He strapped it on late and finished with seven points, but one assist against five turnovers is unacceptable.
Stat of the night
4:09
In the last four minutes and nine seconds of game time, the Aggies didn't score a single point as the Jayhawks went from two-point deficit to five-point margin of victory. The Jayhawks scored 11 of the game's last 13 points.
Quote of the day
Sherron Collins said the Big 12 conference was great. He was then asked why his team is 11-0 in such a challenging conference."Because we're good." Then the grin stretched across his face.

most successful fall season in recent memory, which included three top-three finishes.
Despite the long break and the inability to practice outside this winter, the men's golf was locked in an eighth place tie with Missouri State at the Rice Intercollegiate Tournament.
With a total score of 625 strokes, Kansas is just four shots behind Big 12 rival Nebraska.
Rice sits alone at the top of the leaderboard with a two-round total of 594 strokes with one round to go. 16 teams are competing in the tournament at Westwood Golf Club in Houston, Texas.

"We threw pail out of the window and we were shooting for scores around 75," Grove said. "But we ended up with way too many scores in the 80s."
"We have a great chance to shoot up the leaderboard."
Though the team didn't start off the way they wanted, Barbee shot back-to-back-rounds of 76 that landed him in the top 10.
In the second round, the Jayhawks moved from 12th to eighth place.
Barbee was surprised by his place individually because he said he thought he had struggled early.
"I didn't play that great in the morning," Barabee said. "I guess I was able to hang in there, but I never really got anything going."
Nate Barbee, a Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior, attributed some of the team's poor play in the morning to the long off-season.
"If we had played as well in the morning as we did in the afternoon wed be right where we want to be," Grove said. "But it didn't go that way and that's life."

"We see Nebraska quite a bit," Grove said. "They got the best of us in the fall, so we'd like to get even with them."

"We're wanting a top-five finish as a team and I'd like to get up in the top five individually as well," Barbee said. "That would be a great start for us this season."
"We definitely have the talent to do it if we can stay composed, not get angry and all shoot around 75 like Coach wants," Bryan Hakenberg, a senior from Nebraska, said. "We have a great chance to shoot up the leaderboard."

Freshman Guard Monica Engelman triggers a jump shot over Brittaine Raven of Texas. Engelman posted 22 points in Kansas' 85-82 double loss to losses Saturday afternoon.
Kansan recaps critical plays in the double-overtime loss to the Longhorns
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
twitter.com/maxrothman
The only way a game goes to double overtime is if someone messes up.
Kansas lost 85-82 against Texas in double overtime Saturday because of costly minor miscues. The sum of the errors was greater than their individual parts and the Jayhawks continually gave life to a Longhorn team they should have put away. Every possession counts in a game that was separated by just three points in the end. Below are some of the most influential plays that settled the final score:
ENGELMAN BOTCHES LAYUP
13:22 remaining in the 1st half: Freshman guard Monica Engelman pick-pocketed Texas junior Kathleen Nash and raced down the floor uncontested. She had an easy layup from the left side, but instead of planting with her right foot and laying it in with her left hand, she did the opposite, as if she were driving from the right side. Engelman missed the shot and the rim. Texas leads 16-12.
ENGELMAN GETS HER
PAYBACK
3:20 remaining in the 1st half Stalemated in the corner with the shot clock winding down and Nash towering three inches above her, Engelman frantically scanned her surroundings and found no open passing option. As the crowd emphatically counted down the final seconds of the shot clock, Engelman decided to flinger up a floater. She contorted her body to the right and, from an angle that was behind the glass, sunk the shot. She sprinted back to the other end of the floor like it was nothing more than a regular day's work. Kansas leads 32-28.
MORRIS AND FONTENETTE MISS
0:45.2 and 0:34 remaining in the 2nd half: With Kansas trailing by three and holding possession of the ball, Henrickson gave the shot to her senior leader, Sade Morris, Morris, who was just 4-of-15 from the field at that point, flew around a screen and had an open look, but the shot rattled out of the rim. Sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland promptly fouled Texas sophomore Ashleigh Fontenette, who headed to the free-throw line for a one and one opportunity. If she made just one free throw, it would have made it a two-possession game and sealed it for the Longhorns. Instead, Fontenette missed the first free throw and gave missed life. Texas leads 66-63.
GU
IN THE HANDS OF THE FRESHMAN
0:14 remaining in the 2nd half:
Pressed in the left corner and jumping around a screen by freshman forward Carolyn Davis, Engelman pump faked but was tightly compressed by Nash's length. She passed it down low to Davis who then kicked it back outside to Engelman and set another screen. Engelman, who had missed her previous five shots, slid around Davis' screen, took a three from the left arch and buried it. Overtime, 66-66.
MORRIS FOULS, RAVEN
MAKES AND JACOBS
MISSES
0:11 remaining in the 1st OT: With Kansas leading by four, Morris blocked Texas senior Brittainey Raven's three-point attempt and while trying to retain the rebound, got walloped in the head by Raven's elbow. Despite what looked like an easy call, Morris was charged with the foul, sending Raven to the charity stripe for two. Raven hit both free throws pulling it to within two. Texas quickly fouled senior guard LaChelda Jacobs who missed the
first but hit the second free throw, keeping it at a one-possession game. Kansas leads 77-74.
0:01 remaining in the 1st OT:
Waiting at mid-court until the clock dropped to about eight seconds remaining, Fontenette faked right and charged past Jacobs to the left arch of the three-point line. Precisely where Engelman hit her game-tying shot, but on the opposite side, Fontenette nailed a three and sent the game into double over time 77.77

throws for four and a half minutes, Texas was up by three, but Kansas held possession. Everyone in the building knew that Engelman had to take the shot. Henrickson called a 30 second timeout to set it all up. But once the clock started running, Engelman and Morris were both denied the ball and Jacobs was left alone at the top of the key. With one second to go, Jacobs hurled up a contested third and it clunked off the side of the rim. No further game-tying threes to be seen. Texas wins 85-82.

Key to the game
Freshmen stars
In the Jayhawks past three games freshman guard Monica Engelman and freshman forward Carolyn Davis have led the Jayhawks in scoring. The duo scored 51 combined points in Saturday's double-overtime loss to No. 14 Texas. Their continued production will be key against Colorado as the pair only scored a combined 17 points in Kansas' first game against Colorado on Jan. 27 as the now-injured senior guard Danielle McCray led the Jayhawks with 29 points.Both freshmen have matured quite a bit in recent contests and they will have an opportunity to continue this trend as they share spots in the starting line up for the first time on the road.
Keep an eye on
Carolvn Davis
Davis has quickly evolved into one of the Jayhawks' most potent threats on both sides of the ball. In a loss to No. 14 Texas, Davis scored 29 points, pulled in 14 rebounds and blocked five shots. All of these stats represent career highs. Davis has done nothing but improve as the season has progressed and she should continue to do that against Colorado, the team she earned her first double-double against.
PENN STATE
Davis
Opponent to watch
Brittany Spears
Scoring 28 points in the loss against No. 12 Oklahoma last Saturday, Colorado's junior forward Brittany Spears broke out of a mini twogame slump, in which she only scored 10 points. Playing at home against Kansas today, a team she put 21 points up against in a Jan. 27 loss, Spears should have ample opportunities to have another big game.

KU alerts students of armed robbery
The KU Public Safety Office alerted students to avoid the neighborhood around the Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center Tuesday evening after a report of an armed robbery.
According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Damon Thomas, two suspects confronted the victim, a 31-year-old KU student, in an alley off the 1800 block of Arkansas Street. One of the suspects produced a gun and demanded the victim's valuables.
After the victim handed over various items, one of the suspects punched the victim and then both suspects ran off.
WWW.KANSAN.COM
After the incident was reported, KU Public Safety Sgt. Bob Williams said KU Public Safety officers reported to the Burge Union and the recreation center to alert students of the situation, in accordance with University policy. The KU Public Safety Office sent an emergency text to students shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday and warned students of an armed robbery that occurred around 7:45 p.m. in an alley off campus near the recreation center.
According to recreation center employees, the officers also kept people out of the recreation center to ensure that the suspects couldn't seek refuge there. The employees also said that the person who called 911 to report the robbery then called the recreation center to inform them of the situation.

Police are looking for two white male suspects, according to alerts. ku.edu. The first suspect was wearing a puffy jacket and was described as 5-foot-9 and weighing 150 to 190 pounds. He was carrying a revolver. The second was wearing a baseball cap and a dark jacket or jookie.
Lawrence police are handling the investigation and were still seeking the suspects as of Tuesday night. Anyone with more information should contact Lawrence police.

Laura Tripp didn't know much about alcohol before she came to the University in the fall of 2008.
"Ive never really been a drinker," Tripp, a junior from Overland Park, said.
But a few months into Tripps sophomore year she saw the dangers of excessive drinking
firsthand. While at a house party she realized her friend had had too much to drink. Tripp had seen him drunk before, but this time it was different.
"He was being really belligerent and started throwing up everywhere," Tripp said. "His personality was completely different. He was really angry."
Tripp said she wasn't sure if her friend was in trouble but was scared nonetheless. Tripp drove him to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where he was treated. She said her friend's blood alcohol level was about 0.23, nearly four times the legal limit.
Tripp isn't alone in her experience with dangerous
alcohol consumption. According to hospital data, LMH has seen
an increase during the past three years in emergency room visits because of alcohol related incidents, especially among college-age people.

354 college-age people.
John Drees, LMH community and education specialist, said the substantial increase in emergency room visits indicated an abuse problem at the
University and in the Lawrence community.
Multiple factors contribute to alcohol abuse, Drees said, including advertising,culturalacceptance,and economic conditions. According
to the Kansas Department of revenue, Douglas County is fourth in Kansas alcohol sales behind Shawnee, Sedgwick and Johnson counties. In Douglas County, more than $200,000 is spent on alcohol daily, adding up to more than $1 million per week, Drees said.
"When you start to look at it that way, that's a real economic issue," he said.
According to the American College Health Association's survey conducted at the University in spring 2009, 51 percent of students reported using alcohol within the past nine days. At the time of the survey, 31 percent reported they

Students lobby against additional budget cuts
BY ANNIE VANGSNES
anniev@kansan.com
About 30 students from Kansas regent universities met with state legislators Tuesday to ask for formal support to end budget cuts to higher education.
The students formed groups of two or three to speak with about 70 legislators as part of Higher Education Day, an annual effort to support higher education.
The students were given a list of talking points and were encouraged to share their perspectives and personal stories to show legislators the damages caused by the cuts.
Elise Higgins, a senior from Topeka and Student Senate community affairs director, lobbied with three other KU students. Higgins said they did not propose any solutions to the budget crisis because it was a complicated situation.
Michael Wade Smith, a Goodland junior and president of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said students talked about what cuts to higher education had done so far, the increasing financial burden placed on students to compensate
"The main point we wanted to hammer home was no more cuts to higher education," Higgins said.

Research funding tops $200 million
KU research received a record $207.1 million in external funding during the 2009 fiscal year, the University announced Tuesday.
Kevin Boatright, director of communications for the office of research and graduate studies, said the funding represented the combined efforts of the research faculty.
"Research isn't just about money," Boatright said. "But it is one way of measuring how successful your faculty of researchers has been."
The total funding represents a $9 million increase from the 2008 fiscal year. About 83 percent of the funding came from the federal government. The rest of the money came from external research grants.
Several KU researchers applied for grants last year, one of which was the largest grant awarded in KU's history. Jeff Aube, professor of medicinal chemistry, and his research team were awarded a total of $30 million in grants alone.
The University will use the external funding for buildings, equipment and training for researchers in various fields such
as human health, energy and education.
The National Science Foundation ranks universities that receive federal funding for their research. The University's rank was 43 in 2008 for public research institutions.
Boatright said he hoped the University's ranking increased in the future as research continued to grow. In the end, he said, it's the researchers who should thanked.
"We owe it all to the resourcefulness of our staff," Boatright said.

Professor connects fossil to modern spiders
BY SAMANTHA FOSTER

Paul Selden, distinguished professor of geology and director of the University's Paleontological Institute, has discovered a relationship between a 165-millionyear-old spider fossil found in northeastern China and a group of modern spiders typically found only in the south-

Selden's colleague, Diying Huang,
found the specimens in northeastern China in 2008.
Selden said that although scientists had suspected the existence of haplogynes — a modern family of spiders — in the Jurassic, they hadn't found fossils of the spiders. He said the find was important because it confirmed that many living families
had a long history.
When he saw the fossil, Selden said, he immediately recognized the distinctive features on the adult males. Selden said that after studying the fossil he realized that the spider was related to the modern haplogyne family. The haplogyne family can only be found in California, Arizona, Mexico and Cuba. Finding the fossil in China was evidence that such spiders had once lived in the are

Selden said the fossil was very well preserved. Because spiders'
Selden said he thought the spiders probably became extinct in China because of dropping temperatures and shifting ice sheets. Those factors may have caused the spiders' extinction in China and restricted them to the arid regions they inhabit now.

The fossils look very similar to
because spiders bodies are soft, they are unlikely to become fossils. The fossils discovered in China formed in deposits of volcanic ash that preserved the spiders bodies.
"Jurassic spiders are incredibly rare," Selden said.
Erin Saupe, a third-year graduate student and first-year doctoral student from Saint Cloud, Minn., said Selden's research was important to paleontology because the fossils were so unique.
"Dr. Selden's find is important not only because of the extraordinary preservation of the specimens, but also because there are so few spiders described from the jurassic," Saupe said. "His find contributes

Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, was one of eight legislators that KU students met with Tuesday. He said students fighting for no more budget cuts should argue from an economic standpoint. He also said education was the key for economic development and would be an important argument to make to other legislators.
Of the legislators that Higgins spoke with, Holland was the only one to give a firm declaration against further cuts to higher education. Holland is submitting his candidacy for Kansas governor today.

Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, will announce his candidacy for governor today at 1 p.m. in Topeka, according to a news release from the Kansas Democratic Party.

had consumed five or more drinks in one sitting in the past two weeks.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said similar surveys indicated an increase in alcohol consumption and abuse at the University.
"Given the clear evidence, alcohol abuse is a problem for a significant number of students at KU, just as it is at most other colleges and universities, as well as U.S. society in general," she said.
In response to an increased level of alcohol abuse, the University implemented new policies in May 2009, including parental notification and a mandatory online AlcoholEdu course for freshmen and transfer students under the age of 22.
The parental notification policy allows student housing to notify parents or guardians if a student has violated an alcohol policy for
Jennifer Wamelink, associate director for residence life, said it was still too early to determine the influence of the University's new policies and programs. Wamelink said she did not know how many letters of parental notifications were issued and would not have that information for months. But she said there were some encouraging signs that the new policies were working.
the second time or a drug policy for the first time. The goal of the new policy is to encourage communication between parents and students about alcohol and help students make better decisions. Roney said. The AlcoholEdu course was designed to provide students with detailed information about the effects of alcohol.
"We feel we have seen fewer students transported to the hospital due to alcohol in the fall semester," she said.
Tripp said she was glad the University was taking measures to decrease excessive alcohol consumption and abuse, but said she was not sure how successful the programs would be.
"I think it's good what they're trying to do with the AlcoholEdu, but I feel like people are just going to try to get them done as quickly as they can and not pay much attention," she said. "But it's better than doing nothing."
Although doctors had said her friend probably would have been OK, Tripp does not regret the emergency room visit.
"We decided that in the future we wouldn't want to regret taking him in, if something really bad did happen," Tripp said.

Although the on-campus circulators experience the most increase in riders during cold weather, the off-campus routes are also filling to capacity and leaving people behind, said Meier, a junior from Independence.
During the first two weeks of the semester, between 16,000 and 19,000 people used KU transit. During the same time period in 2009, between 12,000 and 15,000 people rode the buses, Danny Kaiser, assistant director of KU parking and transit said.

Hoselt said that he had never been left at a stop and was pretty persistent about getting on the bus, but that he had seen several people left behind.
The buses are most crowded about 30 minutes after the hour, Kaiser said. For example, students usually take a bus at 8:30 or 8:35 to arrive at a 9:00 class. To avoid crowding issues and to ensure they don't get left behind, Kaiser said, students should take an earlier bus.
"I've had to stand at the very front
of the bus a couple times, past the yellow line" he said. "I mean, I guess it's a safety hazard, but you do what you've to have to do on the bus."
Cold weather also affects the overall operation of the buses. Kaiser said.
Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN
Students begin funneling into a campus bus en route to Daisy Hill Tuesday morning outside of Snow Hall. An increasing number of students have been left behind due to buses becoming no full.
"Buses are complex machines," he said. "When it gets really cold they don't work quite as well."
Several buses have broken down already this semester, and others have had to finish their routes, Kauer said.
The cold can hamper moving parts, such as doors, and freeze diesel fuel into gel, causing the bus to break down.
Without additional funding, KU Parking and Transit does not have money to add more buses to routes, Kaiser said. Meter said buses would likely become less crowded as spring approached.

So maybe it's not surprising
that last week the 29-year-old network bowed to the inevitable and finally scraped the legend "Music Television" off its corporate logo.

EDITORIAL
Students should show support for anti-discrimination amendment
The Lawrence Human Relations Commission is reconsidering the issue of amending the city's Human Rights Ordinance to prohibit discrimination against transsexual and transgender persons.
This addition to the anti-discrimination laws would serve to protect the citizens of Lawrence. The amendment would include the prohibition of workplace and housing discrimination based on a person's gender identity.
Students should show their support for this amendment by joining with classmates and community members during the Human Relations Committee meeting at 11 a.m. Thursday at City Hall.
The Human Relations Commission members voted against this amendment in November. At the time, there was a small turnout of support in favor for this amendment.
"There are a lot of people who like to believe that Lawrence is some kind of 'liberal oasis' and that this ordinance is not needed because people aren't discriminated against here." Matthew Blankers, a senior from Claremont, Calif., said. "But I know of transgender people who have suffered some pretty terrible treatment at their jobs here in Lawrence because of their gender identity."
The Kansan reported in December that Maggie Childs.
Tomorrow, there is a chance to rectify this.
Tomorrow's meeting should have been scheduled at a time that was more considerate of school schedules because it is an issue that is important to the student body. Despite the inconvenient time, it is imperative that as many students and community members as possible attend the meeting to show support for a non-discrimination ordinance inclusive of gender identity and gender expression
The city of Lawrence is slow to follow the University and state policy when considering protection for people who are transgendered.
The University added gender identity and gender expression to the anti-discrimination policy in October. It was also already part
of Kansas law, thanks to Executive Order 07-24 issued by former Gov Kathleen Sebelius in August 2007. This law prohibits discrimination and harassment for state employees on account of gender identity, among numerous other things.
If Lawrence votes in favor of the proposed amendment, it will be a vote that is not only moving forward with the surrounding community, but a vote in favor of citizen protection and human rights.
Adding protection for transsexual and transgender persons in Lawrence is adding protection for current and potential students, staff and visitors to the University.
This city and the people living in it need to live up to the progressive, accepting atmosphere it boasts of. Powerful words mean nothing if the people saying them don't show up to prove they mean them.
—Caitlin Thornbruch for The Kansan Editorial Board

Complaints about film industry: The sequel
I don't know about anyone else but when I go to a movie, I most enjoy variations of my pre-approved favorites. Sequels, remakes and even the occasional prequel just make my eyes water with excitement.
"Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" was the most honest depiction of an apocalypse I have ever seen. Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit - McPhee were perfect as Alvin and Simon.
Oh, wait. Replace "Alvin & The Chipmunks" with "The Road" and replace "I love sequels, remakes and prequels" with "there's nothing I hate more than sequels, remakes and prequels."
I don't know about the rest of the world, but I love it when some inconsiderate, hack of a director gets his hands on my favorite movie's rights. Wait, I mean the opposite of that again. Man, I've been doing that all day!
But many of these original film ideas are discarded in favor of another installment of "Saw" or reincarnation of "Alice in Wonderland."
Every day, film students have brilliant ideas for films. For living proof, just go to Oldfather Studios and talk to the guys with shaggy hair and messenger baes.
The Jolly Jayhawk
Now, imagine taking that symbol and trying to rebuild it. But this time the building is supervised by Michael Bay with Tara Reid as the model and Lady Liberty's robes are designed by Versace. This replica of Lady Liberty may be fun to look at and a hilarious mockery of the meaning and story behind the original, but what's so great about it? It lacks the history, substance or simple beauty of the original
Remakes have become particularly popular during the last few years. Why? Because the movie-going population is stupid. If this doesn't make any sense, then consider a metaphor to the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is the ultimate symbol of freedom and is as American as a 305 foot-tall apple pie.
BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL
Sequels also lack these crucial elements. More and more, they do
not even attempt to be original. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series began as a stand-alone movie, but with financial success was made into a trilogy. The second and third films in the series were more like one giant film with about 10,000 rum jokes. Sequels fail because they don't have to try to be new, interesting or stand-alone. People will go see them as long as there are a few "I'll be back's" and "Hasta la vista, baby."
Jayhawks, I have a dream about bringing an end to poorly made, repeatedly revived movie sequels. But, I need help. First, stop wasting time and money on sequels and remakes. Boycott remakes, or else people such as Tim Burton will keep making them with his wife and friends. Boycott sequels, or else people like Michael Bay will never stop at just one, his movies are like Pringles. Once he critically flops he won't stop.
Instead, spend that money and time on an original film or I'll be stuck writing "Alvin & The Chipmunks: Chipmunks in Space" some day, and I really, really don't want to do that.

POLITICS
Of e-mails and tropical snowmen
In times full of political turmoil, social discomfort and 10 movies being nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, there is one thing people in this country can agree on: it's really cold.
The media has deemed snowstorms on the east coast "Snowmageddon", inspired by the epic clash between the forces of good (earmuffs, hot chocolate and space heaters) and evil (flurries, ice and slipping on the sidewalk).
This massive cold snap has an even greater meaning: Global warming isn't real. That's right, because it's really cold during the winter all of global warming is completely disproven. Not just the contested parts about it being man-made. The whole thing is totally junked now.
Liberal Loudmouth
Think about it; how can there be global warming when I've had to wear a heavy jacket and knit cap every time I've gone outside lately? I've had to do this most years around this time, and it hasn't gotten warmer. I've been hearing about this global warming thing ever since it was invented by AI Gore several years ago to win a Nobel Prize and wage class warfare. If it was real, doesn't it stand to reason that wed all be wearing shorts, sandals and button-down Hawaiian shirts in winter by now?
While we're at it, didn't some university in England that I'd never heard of before last year fabricate all of the evidence purported by the scientific community (by which I mean Al Gore)? A random hacker obtained and publicly released several e-mails between researchers from the University of East Anglia in which they criticized people who don't believe in global warming, and occasionally talked about clever methods of integrating newer climate change data with old measurements to form

a more cohesive presentation of warming trends. But, they called it a "trick," so...
The e-mails from the University of East Anglia are disappointing, as they damage that institution's credibility, but an article by FactCheck.org does a good job of clarifying the content of the e-mails that supposedly constitute "Climategate," while also pointing out that the IPCC took its findings from many otherwise unrelated institutions.
OK, I can't keep that up any more. It's fun, but too easy. I've heard that sort of discourse coming from far too many climate change sketches recently, from friends to fellow writers to Fox News correspondents. It, to say the least, annoyes me.
And Al Gore, loveable as he may be, is not the progenitor of global warming rhetoric, just a public face.
Yes, it is cold, as climate change can't change our distance from the sun (and the ozone layer hasn't been completely destroyed yet). We are still affecting the climate, and it's not looking great in the long run.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Having read the recent article on the Haskell Wetlands, I'd like to put this situation in perspective.
The state of Kansas doesn't have the money to pursue this project. Every year that this project is delayed the cost of this project skyrockets. Previously, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation funded a comparison study of the "South of the River" route that showed how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and KDOT artificially inflated the southern route cost to maintain preference of the 32nd Street route.
There was talk of introducing a highway tax fee to raise funds for future projects in Kansas in the state legislature. One has to remember how anti-tax this state is even on worthy projects like school funding. How can you build a traffic way and close elementary schools in Lawrence?
Furthermore, I wonder how Roger Boyd, director of Natural Areas at Baker College, can be so disingenuous toward the
history of Native religions in the wetlands. Boyd, a lifelong Boy Scout leader, has been pictured in the Baldwin City newspaper with his mostly Non-Native Boy Scouts dressed in full Indian regalia in canoes at a lake south of Baldwin City promoting the whole Tribe of Mic-O-Say. This all at the expense of the real Native peoples who've used the wetlands for real tribal religious purposes over the years. Enough with the Pretendian act.
In conclusion, Mr. Boyd has taken grief for his comments because his former employer sought to profit from Native lands in Kansas as many Protestant denominations and their colleges did so in the 19th century. Instead of taking the John Muir route of altruistic conservation, he took the Gifford Pinchot route of exploiting and preserving the wilderness supported by Teddy Roosevelt a century ago. The financial circumstances of today say this road will never be finished.

LAWRENCE
New transportation option cleared
BY ALEESE KOPF akopf@kansan.com
Pedicabs such as this one may be seen in downtown Lawrence as soon as March. City commissioners passed a city ordinance Tuesday to allow pedicabs in Lawrence.
Starting next month, students could be riding in the backseat of a pedicab down the streets of downtown instead of walking the seven blocks from one end to the other.
FREE TRIKE CAR
Pedicabs — bicycles attached to small trailers and used like taxis — were approved by an ordinance at Tuesday's City Commission meeting. The ordinance, initiated by Lawrence resident Shane Powers, lays out the rules and regulations regarding the licensing and operation of pedicabs within the city.
Powers, who was inspired after visiting Austin, Texas, plans to run many different routes around Lawrence for Powers Pedicabs. The service will offer both tours and taxi rides.
"With any luck I will be up and running in March," Powers said. "I've had a few setbacks along the way but everything is coming back on track, and I am pretty confident that you will see me out next month."
"I think pedicabs sound like a cool idea for Lawrence. They sound like a fun alternative ..."
Bowersock Dam, the home of the "Kansas Hermit," a Civil War vet who lived in a tree house, the Eldridge, 701 Massachusetts St., and other landmarks relating to Quantrill's raid, all near the downtown area of Massachusetts Street.
Sam Sink, a KU parking and transit intern who spoke on behalf of KU on Wheels, said the
Powers said he planned to charge a regular fee of $1 per person per block and begin his business with at least one immediate employee. Eventually, he plans to own five pedicabs and employ five to eight people who would be independent contractors paying him for the use of his cabs. He is considering giving tours of the KU campus as well, but said nothing was finalized yet.
Jenny Brockel, a senior from White Bear Lake, Minn., said she would use the pedicabs to take a ride from the downtown bars to her house near 13th and Kentucky streets.
"I think pedicabs sound like a cool idea for Lawrence," Brockel said. "They sound like a fun alternative to visiting downtown, and would be practical for the weekends."
For next month Powers plans to focus on operating downtown and providing rides for people watching basketball games during March Madness. His goal for next fall is to provide a service that takes people from their distant parking locations to the stadium during football season. Eventually, he said, he would also like to provide tours of Lawrence. The tours would stop at places such as the

University did not currently have any rules or regulations regarding pedicabs on campus or plans to change existing regulations to accommodate pedicabs, Sink
said although pedicabs may be useful for downtown, KU Transit does not expect it to become a major trend on campus.
"I doubt there will be many pedicab operators willing to scale Mt Oread often enough to see pedicabs become a common mode of transportation on campus," Sink said.
Regulations of the ordinance itself might provide further restrictions. Under the new code, pedicabs must operate on streets that don't exceed 30 mph and must also meet equipment and size requirements.
Scott Miller, a staff attorney for the city, drafted the ordinance based upon the ordinances of cities such as Phoenix, San Francisco and San Diego, which have significant experience with pedicab operation within city limits. Powers said he hoped this would become a growing trend in

TRANSIT
Joint bus facility has advantages
BY ALEESE KOPF akopf@kansan.com
A new facility meant to provide more space and efficiency for the University and city buses will be completed this December.
The University and City transit departments will be coordinating the project, which will cost an estimated $4.5 million, according to the purchasing contract from the University.
The Lawrence City Commission authorized the mayor to execute a memorandum of understanding between the city and the University at Tuesday's city commission meeting, indicating a commitment by the city to a formal lease agreement.
The term of the city-University lease will begin Jan. 1, 2011, and extend for 10 years.
According to the memorandum prepared by the city, base rent for the new facility would be set at $125,495 for the first five years and increase 4 percent per year for the remaining five. The city will pay the rent to the University, but it is projected to save the city $806,588 during the 10-year period, according to a spreadsheet prepared by city staff.
According to Derek Meter, transportation coordinator of KU Parking & Transit, the city is going to buy six buses for the University using Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act money. This would make available $2 million in bus acquisition dollars to pay for the facility during the next two years. The remaining funds would come from a long-term lease agreement with the city and annual payments from the city transit department.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of KU Parking & Transit, said $1.385 million of KU Parking funds would go toward the facility. He said KU Parking also would generate funds from student fees, which would be re-allocated from the bus acquisition restricted fee to the facility. Student fees would contribute $1 million in FY10 and in FY11.
Meier said that the transit commission for the University favored the financing mechanism for a new facility and that he thought the lease agreement was an equitable and fair deal for KU students.
"The existing facility is undersized, under-equipped, non citycode compliant and otherwise inadequate in regards to a transit system our size," Meier said. "The new facility will provide the function and space we need to provide better service on the street at a reduced cost."
Meier mentioned increased maintenance space, an automated bus wash, on-site fuel and appropriate sized dispatch and training centers as a few of the new additions.
The project includes several green initiatives as well, including the capacity to contain recycled steel and a bio-swale. A bio-swale is a type of drainage system, which would help control run-off pollution.
Mitch Knopp, a senior from Manhattan and student senate treasurer, said part of his vote on behalf of the 10-person KU Transit Commission to proceed with the project was based on the city leasing the facility from the University, not the other way around. He also said the project was worth the money in the long run.
"I wasn't 100 percent sure until I had actually seen photos of our current maintenance facility — it's atrocious," Knopp said.
"The numbers don't tell me this is a good deal" Chestnut said. "My situation does."
Mayor Robert Chestnut said he had a hard time seeing where the projected savings were coming from. His main concerns were in entering a binding decision after short discussion, without knowing how much it would cost the city if the new facility was not exempt from property tax. But, in the end, he decided the facility was the right thing to do.

COMMENTARY
Pregame rituals help prep players
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
broesler@kansan.com
Every important action has an equally important moment leading up to it. Whether a person calls this moment a pregame ritual, routine or superstition, it is important to anybody's mental psache.
There are plenty of these pregame rituals happening before every basketball game in the men's locker room.
"I talk to my mother before every single game," sophomore forward Marcus Morris said. "I've done that since high school and I still do it now."
Most pre-game rituals are, as in Morris' case, a very personal thing. Basketball players might be in their own world for a while before games. They're constantly making sure their shoes are laced up properly, or their socks are pulled up the same length. Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics, for instance, shaves his head obsessively before every game.
Then there are the group rituals where everyone on a team gets involved. The most recent group pre-game trial to date is that of the NFL's New Orleans Saints. The chant involves Drew Brees at the epicenter of a circle of rowdy players answering Brees' alpha-dog bark with shouts of their own.
"It's a funny song. It's a hyper song to get us riled up." Morris said.
The KU men's basketball team is not so serious. Before a game, while players eagerly await the tip-off, there is a moment of fun stress release in the locker room. The song "O Let's Do It" by Waka Flocka can be heard rattling the lockers hours before game time, Morris said.
Aside from getting amped up for a game, pre-game rituals can be beneficial for other reasons.
"It's very helpful for players to have consistent rituals, both for pre-game preparation and during competition," Mary Fry, an associate professor in the Department of Health, Sport, and Exercise Sciences at the University, said. "Rituals help athletes maximize their performance under pressure. Without rituals many athletes have a tendency to speed up or slow down their regular play, making them more susceptible to making errors."
Routines can help athletes direct their attention to the task at hand while blocking out distractions, Fry said. This would be important, for example, when shooting a free throw in an opposing team's stadium that has a panda bear dancing in the background, as there was in the Texas A&M tame.
Fry said practicing mental skills, as well as physical skills, was important when athletes were trying to perform their best.
Junior center Cole Aldrich downplays his pregame routine. He said he gets dressed the same way every game, but doesn't have a pump-up song or anything else like some of his teammates have.
"Some guys will sit in the locker room with their headphones on," Aldrich said. "But I just like to conversation."
Whether conversation counts as a ritual or not, it has worked for Aldrich.

Perfect performance from Carolyn Davis tramples Buffaloes
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Kansas triumphed 79-72 at Colorado Tuesday and moved to 5-6 in the Big 12 because Carolyn Davis, a freshman forward, opted for immaculacy.
Davis was nothing less than perfect. 10-of-10 from the field. Eight of-eight from the stripe.
"I'll take it home and hang it up," Davis said of her flawless boxscore.
She must have been eager to validate her second Big 12 Freshman of the Week honor in three weeks. After posting career highs in 29 points and 14 rebounds in an 85-82 double-overtime loss against Texas Saturday, Davis threatened those marks in her very next game. Without missing a single shot, she finished with 28 points and nine rebounds Wednesday as coach Bonnie Henrickson operated her offense primarily through the 6-foot-3 Houston native. She used Davis as the focal point to challenge Colorado's two-three zone defense.
"The offense we have separates the zone," Davis said. "We have Monica and Sade on the outside so eventually they have to open up the lanes for me."
But Colorado senior Bianca Smith struck before Davis. She started 3-of-4 from the field, knocking down long range shots with ease and leading her team to a 19-8 advantage.
After a scorching start, Smith missed her next eight shot attempts. The Buffaloes did not stampede; rather, they pranced.
After the run, Colorado converted just three of its next 20 shots, including a buzzer-beating three by senior Brittany Spears. The Buffaloes' drought helped the Jayhawks on their way to a 25-7 run to claim a 33-26 lead at the half.
Then Davis wasted no time negating Spears' lucky three. Just 21 seconds into the half, she converted a layup and free throw. A trip to the locker room at halftime only seemed to keep her warm, not cool her off.

Jayhawks are a work in progress
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
twitter.com/cthibodeaux
After the oddity that was Kansas versus Texas A&M Monday, the Jayhawks have much to rejoice about, but also much to improve.
Kansas looked out of sync offensively and gave up 20 offensive rebounds. But the layhawks won a game after 35 minutes of looking like the lesser team and are now defeated in the Big 12 through 11 games.
The night gave the layhawks good and bad factors to dwell on this week.
THE GOOD
Buried in the game's rubble is junior center Cole Aldrich's single season block record. He had 12 points, 10 rebounds in the game and his five blocks gave him 98 for the season, passing Greg Ostertag's previous record of 97.
Aldrich credits his teammates' help for his success. He also said the team had come together to win some close games on top of hostile road environments.
"We've shown a lot of heart over the past six road games that we've had in conference," Aldrich said. "We've just got to continue to do that."
Kansas is sitting pretty at 11-0 in the Big 12 with two overtime victories on the road against No.7 Kansas State and Colorado. They beat up on No.15 Texas and just barely outlasted No. 24 Texas A&M.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that his team hadn't won the championship yet, but that undefeated in the top conference was a nice place to be right now.
"For us to be where we are, I'm really happy about it but it's also shocking." Self said. "There are too many good teams."
Against Texas A&M, Kansas can attribute its success to factors other
than offense — its mainstay this season.
"We didn't turn it over and we got fouled," he said. "Even though it wasn't pretty, those were two things that happened from a positive situation offensively for us."
With senior guard Sherron Collins a non-factor offensive, Self was encouraged by his team's grit in the final minutes.
The Jayhawks have not shot well from the free throw line as of late and didn't shoot well against the Aggies hitting only 18-for-26. But Texas A&M made only five free throws.
Looking at the difference of the game, freshman guard Xavier Henry said the points off fouls were the main factor. He had a few clutch free throws to put the game away.

Safety of sport in question
MORNING BREW
Amen's luger of the Republic of Georgia died Friday while training for Vancouver's Winter Olympic Games.
A
Nodar Kumaritashvili, 21, was sliding through a practice course at speeds greater than 90 mph, took a sharp turn, was ejected from the course and then thrown into a pole. He died in a nearby hospital hours before the games' opening ceremonies, casting a somber mood on what should have been an impress day.
Since his death, many critics have blamed the sport and its players. They have brought a negative light on athletes and the sports they enjoy playing.
As the old saying goes: "Don't hate the player. Hate the game."
Several different sports carry deadly risks with them, but that doesn't mean we should point fingers or turn our heads away. Rather, we should be more cognizant and find ways to prevent potential hazards.
The varying dangers of baseball include the chance of getting rocked in the head by a 100 mph fastball. We have helmets for that.
In soccer, sprinting athletes bash opposing shins with metal-cleated slide tackles. We have shin guards for that
Luging, however obscure to some,
should be no different.
How difficult or costly could it have been to pad that pole? How damaging to the sport would it be to fully engulf these lugers in a safe and containing course, not one that could eject its subjects into poles?
Don't blame the lugers. Maybe we should start asking questions to the Olympic officials that ignored the pleas of the athletes and accepted a half-assed course.
Maybe someone will start listening now that a man is dead.

NBA TRADE DEADLINE APPROACHES
Note to consider: Trades can happen at any time. There is a definite
possibility that a trade is underway as you are reading this.
As we count down the hours to Thursday's NBA trade deadline, there are several contenders out there worthy of keeping an eye on. Because of this summer's long-awaited free agency (Lebron, D-Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, etc.), this deadline may strongly influence the future paths of franchises across the league. Below are some teams whose phones will, or at least should be, incredibly busy. Even deadline silence speaks volumes.
The Cleveland Cavaliers: LeBron James is just a half-season away from his first crack at free agency and still no one knows what will happen. Phoenix appears set on dealing Amare Stoumire, considering the minimal chance it has at re-signing the big man. They might as well get something out of his value while he's still around and rumors are that Cleveland is the front runner for his services. Cleveland General Manager Danny Ferry and Phoenix General Manager Steve Kerr were teammates on San Antonio a while back—they're just one friendly phone call away from shaking the league. After all, it's all about keeping the King happy, right?
Prediction: Cleveland lands Stoudemire, LeBron (boringly) re-signs (as the Nets and Knicks weep) and the Cavs' offense becomes frightening. Rings soon to follow.
The Miami Heat: On paper, no one is in a better spot to splurge than the Heat. They have enough cap room to re-sign Dwayne Wade and rake in an additional
THE MORNING BREW
two upper-end free agents. They have the sunny skies of Miami, a heavenly destination for someone looking to ditch, I don't know, Cleveland and Toronto. They have some trading chips: former No. 2 pick Michael Beasley and a somewhat resurrected Jermaine O'Neal. But most important of all, they have the ability to offer playing time with Wade. Next to King James, there is no better offer. Not the aging Kobe. Sorry 'Melo. Maybe someday Durant, but not quite yet.
Prediction: They lose out on Stoudemire, sit tight with their fingers crossed until the summer, re-sign Wade and pluck Bosh from free agency.
The Chicago Bulls: Then again, if Wade is upset by his lack of support on South Beach and doesn't re-sign, could he be going back home to Chicago? The South Side native would love playing with Derrick Rose, immediately giving the Bulls the best backcourt in the league. Chicago has the cap room and the trading chips to make this deal happen-former Jayhawk Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng, John Salmons and Tyrus "Toys-R-Us" Thomas.
**Prediction:** The Bulls swing and miss on Wade as he re-signs with the Heat, but ink free agent Rudy Gay. Hey, there's still Rose and the eight seed of the playoffs to look forward to.

Preseason poll puts Jayhawks in second

Kansas has been tabbed by Big 12 coaches to finish second in the conference as part of the league's annual preseason poll. The Jayhawks received 69 points in the poll, including one first-place vote. The team finished behind preseason favorite Texas, who received 81 points, including nine firstplace votes.
Coaches were asked to predict how each team would finish by record, but were not allowed to vote for their own team. Points were awarded to each team based on how they were predicted to finish (nine

No.22 Bears win 88-70 against the Red Raiders
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WACO, Texas — LaceDarius Dunn scored 30 points and Ekpe Udoh had 13 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocks for No. 22 Baylor which beat Texas Tech 88-70 Tuesday night for its third consecutive 20-win season.
Dunn scored 10 points in the final $5 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes of the first half, after being held scoreless until then, to put the Bears (20-5, 7-4 Big 12) ahead to stay.
His first points came on two free throws that made it 25-24, part of his eight consecutive points for Baylor.
It is only the sixth 20-win season for Baylor, which has won five of its last six games.
David Tiruad he 16 points for Texas Tech (16-9, 4-7).
John Roberson had 12 points for the Red Raiders before leaving the game with 9 minutes remaining after running into a television cameraman. Coach Pat Knight said after the game that Roberson's ribs were sore and he was having a hard time breathing.
The go-ahead free throws by
Dunn started a 39-16 run in which he scored 22 points. Dunn's basket with 12:49 left made it 60-40, then Udoh had a steal that led to a runcapping dunk by Anthony Jones.
Tweety Carter had 12 points and 11 assists for Baylor, which shot 54 percent from the field (33 of 61).
When the Bears cleared the bench in the closing minutes, Udoh was left in the game for the chance to get another block and his second triple-double of the season.
He wasn't needed for a game-winning shot like he had in each of the past two games, but finished with his 12th double-double of the season and extended his season school record block total to 109.
Dunn didn't score until after being fouled on a drive in the lane. He then had a steal and was fouled again, hitting two more free throws.
After A.J. Walton had a steal to start a 2-on-1 break, he drove to the basket and then dumped a pass over his left shoulder to Dunn trailing for a two-handed slam dunk and a 29-24 lead.
Udoh didn't even score until making a short jumper off an inbounds pass from Carter with 18 minutes left that made it 46-33.
Carter then stole the inbounds pass, though his wild pass to keep the ball from going out of bounds was grabbed by Roberson. But Dunn quickly stole the ball and had a breakaway slam.
After Tech called a timeout and Roberson missed a shot, Dunn made a three-pointer.
Roberson got hurt after missing a layup, then slamming hard into a cameraman seated under the basket.
Trainers tended to Roberson on the court for several minutes, and he walked to the bench with assistance and in obvious pain.
Knight said Roberson's status wouldn't be known for a couple of days.
New Baylor president Kenneth Starr was introduced to the crowd by football coach Art Briles during the first timeout of the game. Starr got a standing ovation, then revealed a "Bear Pit" jersey and led the student section in a "Sic Em' Bears" chant.

St. Louis Cardinals batting coach Mark McGwire works with Cardinals outfielder Colby Rasmus in the batting cage at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. McGwire was due to arrive in Jupiter, Fla., later Tuesday for baseball spring training.
McGwire gets back in the game
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. — Mark McGwire's No. 25 jersey is ready for duty again, hanging outside his locker stall in the St. Louis Cardinals' spring training clubhouse.
The most controversial batting instructor in the major leagues was due to arrive in Jupiter late Tuesday and could be on the field as early as today, the date for pitchers and catchers to report for St. Louis.
Several of his pupils are already here, including second baseman
Skip Schumaker, who is among a handful of Cardinals familiar with McGwire's passion for hitting after offseason workouts in California. He's perhaps McGwire's biggest booster on the team, having worked with the slugger he grew up idolizing since 2005.
The leadoff hitter had one complaint: No longer will he have McGwire's undivided attention.
"I'm excited about it," Schumaker said. "I'm not excited I have to share him. He's helped me a whole lot the last couple of years and I'm excited to have him for a full season."
Last month, McGwire ended more than a decade of denials and evasion by admitting that he used steroids and human growth hormones as he became a home run king. Schumaker said teammates would quickly learn that McGwire, though tarred and feathered by many as a poster boy for performance-enhancing drugs and thus far locked out of the Hall of Fame despite his 583 homers, has plenty to offer.
"He preaches consistency and not to have a roller coaster type of year, and to know your swing," Schumaker said. "He's convinced me I know my swing and he's always been super positive."

Big Mac's return to baseball comes just over a month after admitting to steroids use during his dramatic power surge in the 1990s, including his then-record 70-homer season in '98. In January, the Cardinals were optimistic that McGwire would be able to fully focus on his coaching debut after he submitted to a round of interviews. Manager Tony La Russa went beyond optimism, basically warning that McGwire would have plenty on his plate without revisiting his flawed career.
"What more is there to say? This is definitely go forward time."
Undoubtedly, there will be more questions when the 46-year-old McGwire shows up. His assertion that steroids allowed him to heal from injuries but did not offer a power boost was bothersome to many, with even general manager John Mozeliak weighing in against that notion.
Until the hubbub dies down, the clubhouse and the field will be McGwire's sanctuary. He figures to get a royal reception from players who won't judge him for any misdeeds from the past.
"He has been more forthcoming than anybody yet," La Rusa said.
"I'm happy I wasn't playing in that era so I didn't have to even think about it," said Joe Mather, a candidate for the Cardinals's vacant third base job. "But you can't really go back and judge somebody when you were never really there."
Several pointed out that during McGwire's heyday, pitchers had equal access to steroids.
Growing up, Mother always wore McGwire's number.
"He was my guy," Mather said. "I'm looking forward to it, that's for sure. All I've heard is good things."
Jayhawks finish fourth in Houston

After day one at the Rice Intercollegiate in Houston Monday, the Kansas Jayhawks were frustrated and disappointed, but they were also optimistic about the final round.
That optimism helped the Jayhawks jump from eighth place Monday to a fourth place finish Tuesday afternoon.
"If they had buried their heads and given up that could have really hurt us," coach Kit Grove said, "But the team stayed positive and played well today."
Leading the way was Nate Barbee, a junior from Dakota Dunes, S.D., and Bryan Hackenberg, a senior from Denver.
Barbee, for the 10th time this season, shot an under-par round with a score of 71 and Hackenbergwas right behind him finishing with an even par score of 72.

Kansas pulled off both of those feats in just 18 holes of golf.

"Nate and Hack really came through for us," Grove said, "This is a big finish for the team to start off the spring."
Grove had two goals for the final round. The first: get in to the top-five on the team leaderboard. The second: surpass Big 12 rival, Nebraska.
Perhaps more importantly, they got even with Nebraska for beating Kansas this past fall.

"This was really good for
"It's nice to have an extra eye out there on all the putts." Barbee said. "It gives me a lot of confidence when standing over the
"I always walk with Nate in the last round and I think it gives him a little bit of a comfort zone," Grove said.
NATE BARBEE Denver junior
For a player, having a coach to walk with and give advice during a round can be beneficial.
Barbee's two goals after Monday were to get into the top five as a team and individually, and Barbee helped make both of those goals a
reality Tuesday.
Typically, Grove walks with one of the freshman players, but since the end of Barbee's freshman year, Grove has chosen to walk with Barbee throughout the final round.
On Tuesday, Grove walked with Barbee during the final round — each coach is allowed to walk with one player during each round.
"I'll take it considering all the weather conditions and it being the first tournament of the spring"; Barbee said.
"Chris and Alex really pulled it together, which was great, because we needed somebody else to step up," Hackenberg said, "Putting really made the difference today for all of us."

Kansas surpassed Grove's expectations, coming in fourth place, and he said he was proud of the team.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
STARKVILLE, Miss. — John Wall scored 18 points, including five in overtime, and came within two assists of a triple-double to lead No. 2 Kentucky to an 81-75 victory over Mississippi State on Tuesday night.
Wall's three-point play opened the scoring in overtime, then he added two free throws and blocked Dee Bost's layup attempt with 36 seconds left to push the Wildcats (25-1, 10-1 Southeastern Conference) to their sixth straight win and snap a three-game losing streak to the Bulldogs (18-8, 6-5).
DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick
Patterson both scored 19 points.
Wall had 10 rebounds and eight assists.
Cousins had 14 rebounds.
Cousins had 14 rebounds. Kentucky trailed 67-60 with
three minutes left, but scored the final seven points of regulation, the last two on Patterson's 15-foot jumper that tied it at 72.
Bost scored 22 points for Mississippi State, which was without suspended leading scorer Ravern Johnson.
The final minute of the game was marred when fans in the student section of a record crowd of 10,788 threw bottles onto the court, almost hitting official Mike Kitts and coming close to Wall as he stood near the Kentucky bench.
"We made plays. We made shots. We made blocks. We did enough to win the game and now we're going to get out of here," Kentucky coach John Callipari said.
Mississippi State used a 13-2 run to take its biggest lead, 67-60, with three minutes left.
Jarvis Varnado, one of the nation's leading shot blockers, fouled out midway through the run at 5:08, but that didn't seem to slow down the Bulldogs.
They outscored the Wildcats 6-2 over the next 2 minutes before Kentucky clamped down.
Eric Bledsoe hit a 3-pointer, then converted Cousins' block of Romero Osby into a layup in transition before Patterson tied it at 72.
Mississippi State's Barry Stewart missed the rim on a three-point attempt as the shot clock expired with 6.2 seconds left and DeAndre Liggins' jump shot from the baseline as time expired bounced off the rim.

possession," Henry said. "Shooting free throws is so easy. It's just a focus thing."
Throughout most of the game, Texas A&M was the most physical team. The record crowd helped fuel the team. It was only when the Aggies failed to score in the final four minutes that the crowd went silent.
Collins, who had seven points on 2-of-9 shooting, was not surprised that the Jayhawks stayed in the game, despite how poorly they played in the beginning. He said the way they finished that game was why the Jayhawks were an elite team.
THE BAD
Collins didn't have a good game and he didn't come to the rescue like he usually does. After the game he said he wasn't injured, so it was just mental.
The rest of the team must have had the same issue.
The poor offense may have been a product of the poor defense early in the game. The Aggies were making most of their shots. Senior guard Donald Sloan had 10 points in just the first eight minutes.
"It was a sloppy game," Collins said. "Our offense wasn't doing anything right."
Self said the big men of Texas A&M outplayed his own bigs. The Aggies had 41 rebounds on the night and 20 of those were offensive. The Jayhawks had 33 rebounds and eight of those were offensive.
It didn't help when sophomore
forward Marcus Morris got in tour trouble early on.
"If Marcus isn't going to play much and Sherron has the night that he had, it's amazing to me that we won the game." Self said.
That's where the last four minutes came into play.
In the last four minutes, the Aggies had three rebounds and the Jayhawks had eight. Aldrich said it was as simple as keeping the ball for themselves and making good use of it.
"If we play defense, the offense will take care of itself," Aldrich said. "Towards the end, we started to defend. We gave up 20 offensive rebounds, which is unacceptable, and that's on our bigs."
He then joked about what prac tice might entail this week.
"I'm sure we're going to work on some rebounding drills in the next few days," Aldrich said.
Using the rebounding effort as a prime example, Aldrich said that despite their lead in the conference and 25-1 record, the layhawks were far from perfect. They haven't dominated an opponent since Missouri on Jan. 25.
Collins said he didn't care as long as they won, but Self said it could burn them out in the long run.
Coming from the championship expertise of Aldrich, the bottom line is the team is still a work in progress.
"There's guys that have been on our team when we won it two years ago: Sherron, I, Brady and Tyrel," Aldrich said. "Those guys will tell you we still have a long way to go."

Missouri players caught in fight
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Freshman Missouri quarterback Tyler Gabbert has a broken nose after a weekend fight outside a Columbia pizza parlor.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that Gabbert, his brother, Blaine, and linebacker Andrew Gachkar got into a fight with another group of men outside Gumby's Pizza around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. No one was arrested.
A police report says the players and the others involved likely had been drinking, but no one was ticketed or arrested. Of the three players involved, Gachkar is the only one of legal drinking age.
Both quarterback Blaine Gabbert and Gachkar are starters. Tyler Gabbert is in his first semester at Missouri after finishing high school early.

DAVIS MAKES REGULAR SEASON DEBUT
"We're starting three kids that started the year on the bench," Henrickson said. "They have prepared themselves to contribute and be difference makers."
Davis' rapid development has become essential to the Jayhawks' success, especially with the injury to senior guard Danielle McCray. Below is a timeline of Davis' career.
The Houston native played only two minutes in a Nov. 15 thrashing of Oral Roberts.
FIRST CAREER START
In the Jayhawks' first game of the regular season Davis made her first appearance for Kansas, for a little while at least.
Davis' entry into the starting lineup in a Jan. 17 victory against Missouri was unexpected.
"We're starting three kids that started the year on the bench."

Boogaard's ineffectiveness in recent games.
"It was just any other game. That's how I look at it," Davis said after her first career start. "It was just another game."
Davis didn't disappoint her coach as she scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds in her debut as a starter.
DAVIS EARNS FIRST
DOUBLE-DOUBLE
After scoring more than 10 points in two out of her first three games, Davis finally broke through on the rebounding end in a Jan. 27 victory against Colorado.
"I think I have to stay aggressive on the boards because I've shown that I can score," Davis said after recording the double-double. "I have to be more persistent on the boards."
She got to the basket for 10 rebounds, which in addition to her 10 points represented Davis' first career double-double.
AVERAGING 20 POINTS PER GAME IN THE LAST FIVE CONTESTS
Davis followed up that double-double performance with a career high 20 points in a Jan. 30 victory at Missouri. That total didn't stay for long as Davis demolished it just three games later by scoring 29 points in a double overtime marathon loss to No. 14 Texas on Feb. 13.
In the past five games, starting with that second victory at Missouri, Davis has averaged 21.6 points per game. She also stayed aggressive on the boards, notching three straight double-doubles in that stretch.
THE FUTURE
Davis' future is shining bright and with fellow freshman Monica Engelman playing well alongside her, the Jayhawks have a lot to look forward to. As far as this season goes, Kansas will need Davis to continue producing on a high level as Kansas wraps up its schedule with four games against teams ranked in the top 18.
"This didn't happen overnight for her," Henrickson said of Davis. "She has worked her butt off in practice and we're at 101 practices."

Close games provide great experience
After another tough victory on Monday night, the Jayhawks are now 25-1 and 11-0 in conference play. Kansas is cruising toward a sixth straight Big 12 title and most likely a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
SCOTT TOLAND
stoland@kansan.com
The Wave editor
But it hasn't been easy. Kansas has already played six games this season that have been decided by fewer than ten points, including back-to-back overtime games against Kansas State and Colorado. The Jayhawks struggled in victories against Memphis and Cornell and have often not looked like the best team in the country.
But these six games might just be more valuable for the Jayhawks than they will ever know. Although a narrow two-point victory in overtime against Kansas State isn't nearly as sweet as a blowout victory in Bramlage Coliseum, games like that one can make all the difference when the NCAA Tournament rolls around next month.
A team can often learn a lot more about itself in a close game than in a blowout. When the game is on the line, the Jayhawks have confirmed that Sherron Collins is their go-to-guy, have learned how to manage the end of a game and have played under pressure that can't be simulated in practice. All of these things provide valuable experience for Kansas as it prepares for the stretch run of its season.
Coach Bill Self has called on Collins several times
already this season at the end of games. Collins came up with a three-point play against Cornell and another big shot at Kansas State. His teammates were already confident in his ability to make clutch plays, but he keeps proving that he is the player who wants the ball when the Jayhawks need a score.
One of the more underrated aspects of a basketball game is clock management, and Kansas has had plenty of experience managing valuable seconds at the end of a game. The little things that good teams must know, such as when to call timeouts and when to foul the other team, have already been put into practice this season and could be really important to the Jayhawks' postseason hopes.
Something that just can't be simulated in practice is the amount of pressure that a team will feel at the
end of a big game. There is no way to practice for the pressure of playing in overtime in Bramlage Coliseum on College Gameday or holding off an upset bid in Allen Fieldhouse. When the Jayhawks play in a close game during March Madness, the pressure will be even greater, but at least they already have an idea of what it will be like.
Despite all of the close games, the Jayhawks still lead the country in margin of victory, winning by an average of more than 20 points per game. Like most fans, I would rather have the Jayhawks win by 20 points every game than barely pull out a victory, but I also realize that the team can learn a lot from struggling to a win.
One important mark of a good team is when a team can win when it has an off day. On the six occasions when the Jayhawks have had a noticeable off day, the team is 5-1. This team knows how to win big, but they also know how to win when it looks like they shouldn't be able to.
It hasn't always been pretty, but the Jayhawks just keep getting the job done this season.

Brady Morningstar is a junior guard from Lawrence who was averaging 5.4 points and 3.3 assists per game heading into Monday night's contest at Texas A&M. Here's what he had to say last week about this year's team.
CG: What happened on the free throw?
BM: Oh, man. My hands were wet.
Right when I was pressing the ball to release it, it slipped out of my hands.
The rest is history.
CG: Did you start falling over the line?
Is that why you went ahead and shot it?
CG: Do you remember what you said afterward?
BM: Yeah. (laughs). I don't think I can repeat it.
BM: I was just confused. I didn't know if they were going to count my initial slip as a shot, so I took my chances and tried to catch it and shoot it in the air.
CG: Did you think it was a rebound?
BM: I should have gotten a rebound and a steal.
CG: What would it mean for you guys to get Coach Self's 400th victory?
BM: It'd mean a lot for him, his staff, his family, his kids. That's a big accomplishment. He's won everywhere he's been.
CG: How big is the rest between Big Monday games?
BM: A bunch. Practicing every day and playing against them, you learn a lot.
CG: Do you ever regret your decision to redshirt in 2008?
CG: How much did you learn from your redshirt year?
BM: No. I'm glad I did it.Wouldn't have it any other way.
**BM:** It's the last chance he has, so he's trying to leave the best way he can leave. That's by winning. He's letting everyone know, 'Hey, let's do it this year'.
BM: I think we're rested, but we're ready to get back out on the court and get better.
CG: Can you guys hang your hat on the fact that there is still room to improve?
BM: I don't think we've had a game where everyone has played well on the same night.
CG: Is Sherron pushing you guys to feel what he's feeling in these last few games of the regular season?

The Wildcats' tournament hopes are fading, but they have a chance to pick up a huge win on the road against Wisconsin. The Badgers have been much better than expected this season, and their stingy defense won't make it easy for Northwestern.

The Orange take on the Hoyas in a key Big East matchup
THE MADHUSSAN BULLS
The Orange hope to recover quickly from their loss at home last weekend to Louisville. Georgetown manhandled Villanova earlier this month, and Syracuse will have to play very well to defeat the Hoyas on the road. Forward Greg Monroe and guard Austin Freeman lead the Hoyas' offensive attack.
while the Orange hope to slow Georgetown down with their trademark zone defense. Syracuse guard Andy Rautins will have to hit some early threes to open up the inside game for Syracuse. The Orange can't afford to lose this game if they want to keep pace with Villanova in the Big East standings.
THE WAVE'S 2010 NCAA TOURNAMENT PROJECTIONS
The 2010 NCAA Tournament is just a few weeks away, and it's never too early to start thinking about which teams will earn this year's top seeds. The Wave editor Scott Toland projects the top four seeds in each regional.
EAST MIDWEST
1. Syracuse 1. Kansas
2. Duke 2. Purdue
3. Ohio State 3. Gonzaga
4. Texas 4. Vanderbil
WEST SOUTH
1. Villanova 1. Kentucky
2. Kansas State 2. Georgetown
3. Michigan State 3. West Virginia
4. Tennessee 4. Wisconsin
Kansas and Kentucky still look like locks for No. 1 seeds in the Big Dance. Both Syracuse and Villanova have faltered lately, but they should bounce back in time to claim two top seeds for the Big East Conference. Kansas State is making a solid push for a No.2 seed, while Duke should win the ACC and secure a No.2 seed as well. Purdue and Georgetown still have work to do, but the they both have a great shot at earning high seeds.

Texas edges Kansas in two overtimes
Kansas almost found the toughness it needed to upset a ranked team, but fell just short as it lost 85-82 to No. 14 Texas.
"It's no different than the other night; we struggled to find a way to finish," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
After trailing by six with a minute and a half to play, the Jayhawk's outlook for an upset seemed rather bleak. Then sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland made her first basket of the game while drawing a foul. She made the free throw and one minute later, freshman guard Monica Engelman drained a three with 14 seconds remaining to tie the game up and send it into overtime.
Kansas may not have even needed the overtime period as it had chances to win in regulation. What killed the Jayhawks, though, was that they allowed the Longhorns to pull in 17 offensive rebounds in regulation.
"A box out is something you can control," Henrickson said. "If you do that in regulation you're not in overtime."
The Jayhawks dominated the opening minutes of the first overtime, leading by as much as six. Texas came back, though, and sophomore guard Ashleigh Fontenette did her best Monica Engelman impression as she sunk a three pointer in traffic with one second remaining.
That shot sent the game into a second overtime and erased the Jayhawks last lead of the game as the Longhorns controlled the second overtime to collect their fifth straight win.
"We put ourselves in position to win a couple of big games. We haven't found a way to finish, though." Henrickson said.

Jayhawks pull out win at Texas A&M
"I think sometimes we put too much pressure on him to make those plays," junior center Cole Aldrich said. "But we've got great guys on our team that can make those plays. Tonight just wasn't his night."
It looked like an upset in the making, but Kansas' other stars picked up the slack.
Aldrich, sophomore forward Marcus Morris and freshman guard Xavier Henry each scored 12 points. As a team the Jayhawks had serious issues on the offensive end, shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 10 percent from three.
Whenever the Jayhawks have had a game on the line this season, they turned to Sherron Collins. But when his shots weren't falling, Collins' teammates bailed him out.
Kansas pulled out a 59-54 victory in front of a hostile crowd at Texas A&M Monday night. The Jayhawks gave up 20 offensive rebounds, shot 1-for-10 behind the three-point line and got just seven points from Collins.
"Tonight we were a little out of rhythm," Henry said. "It happens every now and then. We just rely on defense when that happens."
The Jayhawks held the Aggies to 34.9 percent shooting for the game.

NO EASY ROAD GA
By Zach Getz
zgetz@kansan.com
While Allen Fieldhouse boasts a 648-106 (.859) and the current longest home winning streak of 56, and has sold out every game that Bill Self has coached, Allen Fieldhouse still doesn't have the highest winning percentage in the Big 12 Conference. During non-conference play this season,the Big 12 racked up an incredible 107-1 record.The only blemish came when a now-ranked Northern Iowa narrowly defeated Iowa State 63-60. While Kansas may seem to constantly win at venues such as Hilton Coliseum and Devaney Center, Bill Self said that he has seen Sherron Collins telling the team how tough it is to win at these arenas. Here's a snapshot of what each arena has to offer with their records as of last week.
Oklahoma
OU
Lloyd Noble Center
Opened: December 1975
Capacity: 12,000
Average 2009-10 attendance: 10,466 (87.2%)
Kansas's record: 15-15 ,(500)
Bill Self's record: 2-1 (.667)
Oklahoma's record: 438-73 (.857)
Sooners have been dominating against Big 8 and Big 12 teams, but Kansas is the only team without a loss record in Lloyd Noble Center. In the last 10 seasons Oklahoma has had a .903 winning percentage, and while the Sooners are 2-9 away from the Lloyd Noble Center, they are 11-0 at home this season, including a win over a top 10 Texas team.
Colorado
CU
Coors Event Center
Opened: November 1979
Capacity: 11,064
Average 2009-10 attendance: 6,065 (54.8%)
Kansas' record: 23-7 (.767)
Bill Self's record: 7-0 (1.000)
Colorado's record: 342-151 (.694)
Even though Colorado has spent recent seasons in the base- ment of the Big 12, Coors Event Center is still a tough place to pull out a win. Although players will tell you that altitude isn't the problem, being more than 5,400 feet above sea level can take the wind out of any visiting team. Colorado without one of its best players still took the No. 1 team in the nation to overtime. The team is poorly supported as Colorado has the lowest average attendance and only fills about half the seats.
Texas
Frank Erwin Center
Frank Erwin Center
Opened: November 1977
Capacity: 16,734
Average 2009-10 attendance: 14,167 (84.7%)
Kansas' record: 2-4 (.333)
Bill Self's record: 0-3 (.000)
Texas' record: 388-92 (.808)
Before last Monday, the Frank Erwin Center was one of the two arenas in the Big 12 where Bill Self had yet to win. It is also the largest arena in the Big 12. Texas has only lost nine times in the past eight seasons, a feat that is only seconded to Kansas seven losses in the past eight seasons. Texas has also defeated the last 10 ranked opponents that have played in Frank Erwin Center before losing to Baylor last week.
Texas A&M
A TM
Reed Arena
Opened: November 1998
Capacity: 12,989
Average 2009-10 attendance: 9,182 (70.7%)
Kansas's record: 6-0 (1.000)
Bill Self's record: 3-0 (1.000)
Texas A&M's record: 137-53 (.721)
Before Billy Gillespie stepped onto the scene in College Station, Texas, getting a win at Reed Arena wasn't as big of a task. Gillespie has rejuvenated both Texas & M basketball and fans. The Reed Rowdies now have been growing steadily, and in its last game against Texas Tech, Texas A&M had a record student turnout and all time attendance record of 13,648, 105 percent of Reed Arena's capacity. While Kansas has never lost in Reed Arena, Texas A&M holds the only win by a Big 12 South team in Allen Fieldhouse.
Baylor
BAYLOR BEARS
Ferrell Center
Farren Center
Opened: November 1988
Capacity: 10,284
Average 2009-10 attendance: 6.659 (64.8%)
Kansas' record: 6-1 (.857)
Bill Self's record: 3-0 (1.000)
Baylor's record: 206-129 (.615)
What it lack in size, it makes up for in creativity. Students are often seen dressed up in elaborate costumes such as Darth Vader. Although the rest of the support is lacking, Baylor had one thousand more people in attendance at its last women's basketball game than its last men's game even though its men's team is now ranked in the top 25.
Nebraska
NE

N
Bob Devaney Sports Center
Opened: November 1976
Capacity: 13,595
Average 2009-10 attendance:
9,856 (72.5%)
Kansas' record: 18-16 (529)
Bill Self's record: 6-1 (.857)
Nebraska's record: 409-128 (.762)
Just like Iowa State, it wasn't until recently that Kansas even had a winning record in the Devaney Center, but Kansas has won the last six in Lincoln, Neb., and 10 of the last 11 meetings. Even though Nebraska hasn't done much in post-season play recently, Nebraska has lost only six non-conference games at home in the past 10 seasons.
Missouri
TM
Nizzou Arena
Opened: November 2004.
Capacity: 15,061
Average 2009-10 attendance: 9,341 (62%)
Kansas's record: 2-3 (.400)
Bill Self's record: 2-3 (.400)
Missouri's record: 84-19 (.816)
Mizzou Arena replaced the Hernes center, which retired with a 14-18 record against Kansas. Still young, it is the only arena in the Big 12 north that Kansas currently has a losing record in. While Kansas has the current longest home winning streak, Missouri had the second longest with 31 straight victories until Texas A&M ended the streak last week. Originally named after a grand-neiece of Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, the name was changed to Mizzou Arena after Elizabeth Paige Laurie admitted to cheating her way through the University of Southern California.

While it always seems to be raucous when Kansas plays, Kansas has an amazing track record in Manhattan. Dubbed Allen Fieldhouse West by some fans, Kansas State has been much more successful in Lawrence recently, tallying four wins in Allen Fieldhouse since 1984 compared to one win in Manhattan. During yet another win this season, Sherron Collins said it was the second loudest place he's ever played, just behind Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas ran into a brick wall last season when it had to face Texas Tech and Alan Voskull on senior night. Voskull drained 9 of 14 and scored 35 in the upset of then No. 9 Kansas. Kansas has also had other big losses in the United Spirit Arena, such as a double-overtime thriller against a Bob Knight led team.

As the oldest and one of the most storied arenas in the Big 12, it's not surprising that Gallagher-Iba Arena has the best winning percentage of any arena in the Big 12 despite being the oldest arena as well. The Arena was named after Oklahoma State's wrestling coach, and one of the all-time greatest coaches in college basketball, Henry Iba. Gallagher-Iba also continues to sport the original map floor that was installed

Hilton Magic hasn't been the same since the 80s and 90s when it was nearly impossible to win at Ames, Iowa. Even Danny Manning, one of the all-time greats at Kansas, was never able to notch a single win in Ames, Iowa. Kansas has won eight of the last nine, which allowed Kansas to finally have a winning recording at Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State also averages the third most in attendance behind Kansas and Texas.

GAME TO WATCH Texas vs. Missouri
Texas needs a signature win to snap out of its funk and get back on pace for a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament. Missouri needs to defend its home court and the Tigers could use another strong win to really solidify their tourney hopes. The Longhorns boast a stellar frontcourt that is led
by Darnion James and Dexter Pittman, while the Tigers' strength lies in pressure defense and great guard play. Missouri's defense can create a lot of turnovers and Texas will have to be careful with the basketball. The dichotomy of styles should make this an excellent game for the viewers.

Anderson was electric in the Cowboys only game of the week, a 97-76 shellacking of Oklahoma in the Bedlam game. The junior guard shot 11-of-17 from the field, including 4-of-7 from long range, to post 31 points alongside four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals. He dominated every facet of the game for Oklahoma State.

After struggling his way through the beginning of conference play, Henry showed a little life in games against Texas and Iowa State. After coolly posting 15 against the Longhorns in Austin, Henry led the Jayhawks in scoring with 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting in a 73-59 victory over Marquis Gilstrap and Iowa State.

The Jayhawks have gone on the road for two consecutive Mondays and pulled out wins in hostile environments against teams in the RPI top 30. The Jayhawks are tops in the country not just because they've won a lot of games, but because of the teams they've done it against. This last week was no exception.
Quick Hitters
- Kansas victory over Iowa State made them 10-0 in conference for the first time since the 2004-2005 season.
- Kansas is two wins away from tying the most wins in a four-year stretch in school history. Breaking the record would make Sherron Collins the winningest Jayhawk ever.
- James Anderson's 31 points Saturday marked his third 30-plus point game in less than a month.
- Baylor needed a last-second offensive rebound and tip in by Ekpe Udoh to put away Missouri in Waco, 64-62.
- Texas'91-51 victory over Nebraska Saturday marked the largest margin of victory in conference play since Missouri beat Colorado by 45 on January 14 of last year.

COLLEGE STATION. Texas — It went up high,high above everyone's heads,countless hopes and fears and possibilities hanging in the balance.
When it fell through, that shot — that game — validated a great deal more than the hopes it carried with it. In one of college basketball's greatest meccas, a program was born.
It was an early February night, sandwiched between an easy victory over the Iowa State Cyclones and an impending clash with the Texas Longhorns. Basketball fever was spreading in College Station. It was a night that would change everything.
"Everyone said it was going to be a big time game,"said former A&M forward Joseph Jones."No.1 and No.2 in the Big 12, and plus, College Gameday was going to be there."
Feb. 3, 2007: the Aggies, 18-3 and No. 8 in the nation, went north to take on the 19-3, No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks. They had played there before; they never won. Since the formation of the Big 12 Conference, no team from the South division had ever won in Allen Fieldhouse. The Aggies had never beaten Kansas.
"I remember that game being absolutely crazy," former Aggie guard Josh Carter said. "Jay Bilas and Digger Phelps and all those guys were there. The media was not [regarding] us too great and nobody was picking us to win or thought we even had a chance against Kansas that night. They knew Acie [Law] was great but didn't think we had enough firepower to win at Kansas."
The previous year, A&M beat then-No. 7 Texas on "The Shot" by law to secure their first NCAA tournament bid since 1987 and came into the 2006-2007 season ranked No. 13, but no statement game or moment had confirmed their arrival as a program.
"There wasn't really a sense of what the win would do for the program because we approached it just like another game against a great team in the Big 12 on the road," Jones said.
Before the game, the team came face-toface with one of the toughest home courts in the country.
"Allen Fieldhouse is crazy," Carter said. "The fans are there hours before the game waiting for you when you walk on the court. It is one of the loudest arenas you will ever
play in. I remember the court shaking when the fans would start jumping up and down right before the game during tip-off"
After a first half of back-and-forth action, the Jayhawks took a 36-30 lead into halftime. Kansas maintained a lead until the last minute of the game, but every time they made a move to extend the advantage, A&M would come back and stay in reach.
The Aggies tied the game at 64 with five straight points from Law and a three-point play by center Antanas Kavaliauskas; after a layup by Kansas guard Julian Wright, the Aggies, down 66-64 with 44 seconds left, set up one of the more memorable shots in team history. Law took the inbounds pass, faked a step forward, then lofted a shot over the reach of the Jayhawks' sophomore guard and All-Big 12 player Brandon Rush. With 25 seconds left, the three gave the Aggies a 67-66 lead.
Law's 3-pointer against the Jayhawks gets lost in the legacy that "The Shot" leaves.
but former Reed Rowdies president Aubrey Bloom, Class of '07, said it was momentous.
"The most interesting thing [at "The Phog"]...is the history of the building," said Bloom, who was at the game. "It's completely different. With the tradition, it's the same as Kyle Field in football. It was so loud you couldn't hear anything. The whole building shakes. When Acie hit the shot, the place went dead quiet. I've never heard a building go from that loud to that quiet real quick."
A&M then forced a miss with five seconds left and made two free throws. They endured a final shot, a miss by future 2008 NCAA tournament Most Outstanding Player Mario Chalmers, and soaked in their 69-66 win after the buzzer sounded.
It was a hard-earned victory against one of college basketball's storied programs, one of the bluebloods, the untouchables — in their own building. On national television, the Aggies had taken each punch from one
of the top teams in the country and responded with their own. The win sent shockwaves throughout the basketball world.
"It was huge because a lot of people who normally don't watch A&M basketball got to see A&M basketball." Bloom said. "Kansas has a whole different draw. It's like playing Kentucky. We had all kinds of big wins that year but that was the biggest. The fact that we won is what made people take note. After that, people knew who we were."
Dedicated Aggie basketball fans celebrated the importance that the win held, welcoming the team back home afterwards.
"We knew it was big for us at the time." Carter said. "I don't think we realized right away how big it was for all of our fans and things like that. When we got back to College Station and there were so many fans waiting for us, I think it hit us a little bit that we had just done something pretty special for the program."

KANSAS STATE WILDCATS
North division dominating conference
By Grant Guggisberg Kansas State Collegian — Friday, Feb. 12
MANHATTAN — We're now officially halfway through the Big 12 Conference season, and many of the predictions about the league have come true.
Yes, the Big 12 is easily one of the top two conferences in the nation, and yes. Kansas is on track to win the league for the sixth season in a row.
However, some things have not gone as predicted. What was thought to be a balanced league, with two teams from the North and two teams from the South tabbed as the top four teams, has not panned out. Texas, which all along has been thought to challenge Kansas for the league title, has lost five of its last seven games. Oklahoma, picked to finish ahead of K-State at third, has dropped to a three-way tie for seventh in the league. Instead, the top of the league standings are totally dominated by the North, with Kansas, K-State and Missouri claiming
spots at the top.
To put it frankly, the South division is a mess right now. The most consistent team has been Texas A&M. Yes, the same Aggie squad that got thwomped by K-State 88-65 earlier in the season. With Texas and Baylor struggling lately, the opportunity for a consistent, fundamentally sound basketball team like Texas A&M to move up in the standings and secure an invite to the NCAA tournament.
Another surprise team in this league is the Missouri Tigers. Unranked and tied for second in the standings, the Tigers have made the most of a favorable schedule, beating K-State in the conference opener and winning games they are supposed to win against teams picked to finish near the bottom of the standings. Can they pull out some big wins and find themselves in the tourney? Anything is possible, and we'll know a lot more about this team after they play their next two games against Baylor and Texas.

Stats don't tell full story on Tiller's performance
By Harry Plumer Associated Press — Tuesday, Feb. 2
COLUMBIA, Mo. — J.T. Tiller may be struggling on the stat sheet, but he's doing fine as far as Missouri coach, Mike Anderson is concerned.
Tiller has seen his field goal percentage, steals and assists decline from last season, while his turnovers have risen by nearly half. But Anderson says the numbers can't measure the intangibles.
"Obviously people look at the turnovers and shooting percentages and all that, but you just can't measure heart and that's how I see this kid," Anderson said. "Of course it's not the greatest season that he envisioned having, but he's impactful on this basketball team. Sometimes you don't look at the stats, and from a coach's standpoint I certainly don't."
Tiller is still a standout defender — he
was the Big 12 defensive player of the year last season.
Meanwhile, other guards such as senior Zaire Taylor and sophomores Marcus Denmon and Kim English have filled the scoring void.
If Tiller is slightly off his game overall, Taylor isn't. He leads Missouri in minutes and is second in the Big 12 in steals. And like Tiller, he has shown leadership skills that teammates take note of.
English and Denmon are the only two guards to average double figures in scoring. Freshman guard Michael Dixon, has provided a spark off the bench and is second among guards in field goal percentage.
"Sometimes he is just an extension of the coach out there on the court," Denmon said of Taylor. "Zaire does a lot of small things that people don't really give him credit for."
OKLAHOMA SOONERS
Sooners fall to Cowboys as road woes continue
By Clark Foy
Oklahoma Daily — Saturday, Feb. 13
NORMAN, Okla. — The Sooners fell on the road again against Oklahoma State, 97-76, in Stillwater on Saturday.
The loss brings Oklahoma down to 13-11, 4-6 in conference play for the season.
While freshmen Andrew Fitzgerald and Steven Pledger made the lineup after not playing against Texas Tech, Oklahoma was still short-handed.
Freshman forward Tiny Gallon missed the game while serving a suspension, while sophomore guard Willie Warren missed yet another game with a virus.
Oklahoma managed to stay with the Cowboys for most of first half, but Oklahoma State would end the half with two runs of 10-0 and 7-0 to take a 48-38 lead over the Sooners.
The Cowboys managed to not only
outscore the Sooners, but also dominated the Sooners across the board.
The Sooners did not get a second half rebound until six minutes into the half. Oklahoma State out-rebounded the Sooners 34-26 in the blowout. The Cowboys also had a stellar defensive performance putting up eight steals, five blocks and forcing 14 Sooner turnovers.
Freshman guard Tommy Mason-Griffin led Oklahoma with 30 points on 10-23 shooting while junior guard Cade Davis and senior guard Tony Crocker added 19 and 16 points, respectively.
Four of Oklahoma State's starters put up double-digits in Saturday's contest, with guards James Anderson and Keiton Page leading the pack with a combined 56 points.
The loss marks Oklahoma's seventh straight loss on the road. The Sooners' last road win came on Dec. 12 when they went on Utah to beat Utah 78-73 in overtime.

IOWA STATE CYCLONES
Iowa State loses after Kansas' late-game run
By Doug Tucker Associated Press — Saturday, Feb. 13
It took Bill Self less than 17 full seasons to get to 400 wins. He doubts many coaches of his generation will stick around long enough to approach 800, the sort of numbers put up by giants like Bob Knight and Dean Smith.
"He keeps saying it doesn't mean anything to him," said senior guard Sherron Collins. "But it means something to us, that we were a part of it."
Craig Brackins, who once scored 42 against Kansas and has always been tough for the Jayhawks to handle, had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Iowa State.
The Cyclones quickly cut a nine-point halftime deficit to 38-35 on a bucket by Brackins. A moment later, Brackins hit a three-pointer and Self called a time out with a shaky 40-38 lead.
The Jayhawks, who hold a commanding three-game lead with six games to go and seem virtually assured of their seventh consecutive Big 12 championship, then quickly put the game out of reach.
"I'm not going to fault our effort. I'm pretty sure not many people gave us a chance to come in here and compete, and we came in here and competed," said Iowa State coach Greg McDermott.
"It was a 2-point game with a little over 13 minutes to go," McDermott said. "Those types of runs that everyone comes in here and worries about — we were the recipient of one of those. We turned it over a few times in that stretch and missed free throws and we had a hard time stopping them."
Taylor stole the ball under the Kansas basket and gave the Jayhawks a quick bucket, and then Henry hit a 3-pointer to get the Jayhawks rolling to their 10th straight win over the Cyclones.
TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS
Red Raiders prepare for key game against A&M
By Mike Graham The Toreador — Friday, Feb. 12
The excitement about the A&M game has not gone unnoticed by the players, who are expecting a large turnout when the teams play at 4 p.m. Saturday in the United Spirit Arena.
LUBBOCK, Texas — The Texas Tech-Texas A&M game in Lubbock always attracts an influx of Red Raider fans who consider it one of the biggest rivalry games of the season. Forward Darko Cohadarevic thinks it is too.
Guard John Roberson said he is especially excited after seeing flyers being
"Since I came in here, I've kind of liked going up against A&M; it's a big rivalry," he said. "It's something going on between us and A&M. I think the students can help us if they come to this game, if they just show up, and with 15,000 people in the arena, we have the chance to beat anyone."
passed out and all the discussion and invites on Facebook regarding the game.
Aside from fans, the Red Raiders will use all the advantages they can get against the Aggies — who beat the Red Raiders 85-70 in College Station two weeks ago.
One advantage may be confidence. After starting conference play 0-3, Tech has fought back to win four out of six games. A win against A&M would put the Red Raiders at a .500 conference record, and the outcome of the game could very well set the tone for the remainder of Tech's Big 12 schedule.
One of the things Tech has going in its favor is an improved defense. Tech spent several days emphasizing defense after the A&M loss leading up to its game against James Anderson and Oklahoma State. Anderson — the Big 12' s top scorer — had lit up the Red Raiders with 28 points in their first meeting, but was held to just 10 in an 81-74 Tech victory last week.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Chris Balham doesn't run out of the locker room with a basketball anymore. These days, he's much more likely to be holding a clipboard.
With his dress shirts, power ties and eye glasses, he's the best-dressed student manager the team's ever had. At 6-foot-8, he's probably the biggest, too.
Balham couldn't be happier. He's traded in his basketball shoes for dress shoes. A starter at center last year for the Huskers, he's now helping out as a student assistant.
He hasn't had the recurring leg problems that plagued his playing days, and right now he isn't going through the same grind the rest of the team is facing.
Balham knew his legs wouldn't hold up for another year, but he's grateful for the opportunity to stay with the program.
"It was good for me to stay involved with the team," Balham said. "I would have been kind of lost without it, like the rug
Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said the decision to bring Balham back was an easy one: He saw an additional value in him.
being pulled out from my feet."
"The thing he helps everybody with is just the daily grind that these guys go through, not just as a basketball player but also as a student," Sadler said. "He's been very successful at both."
Balham's relationship with his coach is still the same, only now he doesn't get yelled at as much. Except when the forward messed up a drill with poor passing earlier this season. He received an earful.
"He's always teasing me," Balham said. "We get along real good."
Balham's relationship with some of the younger members of Nebraska's team is where his true value might lie. Because of his experience, Balham can pass along tips to a young group of post players.
"I work with them a lot." Balham said. "I go over their post moves and encourage them. I tell them about my experiences and hope it helps them play better."

Texas defenders J'Covan Brown, left, and Gary Johnson deny a shot attempt by Nebraska guard Sek Henry during first half action in Austin. Brown scored 12 points and had six assists in the Longhorns' 91-51 victory against the Huskers.
By Laken Litman Daily Texan — Friday, Feb. 12
AUSTIN — After Texas' 80-68 home loss to Kansas on Monday night, Texas coach Rick Barnes told his team that they are "this close" to being the team they want to be.
"We're going to get it fixed," Barnes said. "We knew all year that J'Covan [Brown] was a guy we needed to be able to help run things. But he had to understand he couldn't be casual with the ball, or I wasn't going to reward him. But we have to have him on the floor to create for the other guys. It's time."
Though Brown leads the team with 54 turnovers — one of the Longhorns' biggest handicaps this season — in the last three games, he has finally started to understand his role on the court.
Brown's breakout game was a week and a half ago against Baylor, where he contributed 15 points in 30 minutes of play and notably went 4-for-5 from the free-throw line. On Big Monday, Brown brought Texas within eight points of Kansas by scoring 26 points in the second half. He scored a game-high 28
points, went 9-19 from the field and 2-for-3 from the three-point line.
Senior forward Damion James, who combined with Brown, scored 52 of Texas' 68 points against Kansas, agrees with Barnes that Brown can be one of the Longhorns' biggest advantages for the remainder of the season — as long as he stays consistent.
To get Brown ready to play, Barnes talks to him a lot during pregame warm-ups. Before the Kansas game, Barnes told Brown, "Big players step up on big stages." And that's what Brown did.
Though Brown and James had one of their best performances of the season, Texas arguably had its worst game on Monday. Afterwards, James vowed that this was the worst Texas would play the rest of the season.
The Longhorns have seven regular season games left before the climax of the year begins with the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments. In order to be a legitimate contender in the postseason tournaments, the Longhorns are going to need more effort from players besides Brown and James.
BAYLOR BEARS
Udoh's last-second tip-in seals win against Missouri
Associated Press Saturday, Feb. 13
WACO. Texas — Epke Udoh was thinking NBA after his tip-in with 1.3 seconds left gave No. 24 Baylor a 64-62 victory over Missouri on Saturday.
"I had a chance to tip it, and it was Kobe time." Udoh said, invoking the name of Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant after making his third game-winning shot of the season.
"We won it the way we wanted — with rebounds and defense," said Baylor coach Scott Drew, who evened his record at Baylor at 100-100 in his seventh season. "We know how important the boards are."
Dunn was fouled on a fast break with 6 seconds left. Dunn made the first free throw to tie it, but he missed the second. Baylor's Quincy Acy grabbed the rebound and took a fadeaway that bounced off the
rim. Dunn's putback was too strong, but Udoh went up between Tiller and Justin Safford for the game-winner.
"Ekpe doesn't mind having a lot of pressure on him, and he performs well under it," Drew said.
"There were two or three tips and it looked like the clock was moving in slow motion," Missouri coach Mike Anderson said of the final scrum. "But we have no one to blame but ourselves, and I'll take the blame on that. We just came up a little short, but it wasn't because of effort or desire."
Dunn finished with 17 points, while Acy added 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Bears.
Udoh, who made the game-winning shot in Wednesday's 55-53 victory at Nebraska, had six points and 10 rebounds. He had three blocks to give him 100 this season, breaking Brian Skinner's school season record of 98.

COLORADO BUFFALOES
Buffaloes outplayed by Wildcats in second half
By John Marshall Associated Press — Saturday, Feb. 13
MANHATTAN — Frank Martin was determined to stick with his new offense against Colorado's 1-3-1 zone. Even as his team threw the ball away and struggled to get good shots, Kansas State's coach didn't back off his plan.
Martin is stubborn that way. He's also smart enough to realize when he's wrong.
Uncomfortable with Martin's new offense in the first half, the ninth-ranked Wildcats reverted to their aggressive, effective style in the second half to turn an ugly game into a 68-51 rout over Colorado on Saturday night.
"These games are too big to continue to fail at something, so we had to go back to what we did well, what we understand well." Martin said. "That's on me in the first half."
Kansas State seemed to get the hang of Martin's new scheme with a week off
to work on it in practice. Once live action started, the Wildcats seemed out of sorts, fumbling and throwing the ball away during a tentative first half against Colorado.
Kansas State pulled it together after switching back to its old offense, starting the second half with an impressive run and dominating the rest of the way to win its ninth straight against Colorado.
Jacob Pullen found seams in Colorado's zone to finish with 15 points and 10 assists, and Curtis Kelly had 12 points and 11 rebounds to help Kansas State dominate inside. Jamar Samuels added 12 points to give the Wildcats 20 wins in four straight seasons for the first time.
"We understood what we were doing wrong in the locker room," Kelly said. "Frank came in and simply said we could either make our season or break our season by losing a game like this. A lot of us upperclassmen understood what he was saying and took it to another level in the second half."

2,000 VICTORIES 17
The march to 2,000 victories
As the Jayhawks approach the historic mark, The Wave takes a closer look at how they got this far
By Kathleen Gier kgier@kansan.com
Editor's Note: The Wave continues its look at the Jayhawks' road to 2,000 victories. This week, The Wave tracks the team's history from the 1500th victory in men's basketball history through the 2008 Jayhawks' National Championship run.
1500th Victory
On January 16, 1992, the Jayhawks suited up to play the Louisville Cardinals at Freedom Hall. They entered the game looking for revenge after losing to the Cardinals at Allen Fieldhouse the year before.
"That was one of only two losses in my career in Allen Fieldhouse," Adonis Jordan said after the game in an interview with Chuck Wooding of the Lawrence Journal-World. "We looked at it as revenge."
The Jayhawks won the game 98-77 to reach their 1,500 victory.
The team shot 64.9 percent from the field. Rex Walters and Adonis Jordan each made four three-point baskets.
"We all like the challenge of playing on the road," Walters said. "When people say they think we can't win,we like to prove them wrong."
The 2008 Championship Team
The most recent of the historically significant victories for Kansas—the 2008 NCAA Championship—took place on April 7, 2008, in San Antonio's Alamodome. Kansas had an interesting road to its 13th Final Four appearance, which started with Portland State, then the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Villanova and Davidson, the Cinderella team of the tournament.
After narrowly defeating Davidson, Kansas fans looked forward to revenge on Roy Williams. They got their revenge when the Jayhawks won the game 84-66. Then the Jayhawks met the Memphis Tigers in the final championship game.
The championship appeared to be slipping away from Kansas, until the 2:19 mark, when Memphis started missing free throws and Kansas made shots on the other end. The most famous play, which still gets cheers during the pregame video, was "the shot" by Mario Chalmers. It tied the game with 2.8
seconds left and sent the game into overtime.
"All of the energy, all of the believing that you are going to win this game and the athletic mentality that you have to have to say, 'We are going into overtime and we are going to win,' Memphis didn't have that," former Kansas standout Bud Stallworth said.
Overtime went down smoothly for Kansas, leading to the 75-68 victory that marked the fifth national championship and third NCAA National Championship for the Jayhawks. Though Chalmers received Most Valuable Player honors, Darrell Arthur led all scorers in the championship game with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
"As a former player, as you are looking at guys, they way they look around, the way that they walk, the way that they communicate with each other, you knew before that game was over that we won the national championship." Stallworth said.
"To be there, and to have a chance to celebrate with the team after the game was priceless. You feel like you are part of it, you just feel like part of the game."
Searching for the 2,000th Win
One year after the championship, the Jayhawks returned to the Sweet 16 and lost to the Michigan State Spartans 67-62. This year has yet to unfold, but as preseason #1 with two preseason All-Americans on the team, it looks promising that the Jayhawks will grab five more victories to reach the mystical 2,000 victory mark.
Only one other team — Kentucky has reached 2,000 victories. Kansas and North Carolina are the next closest schools to the record. North Carolina is only two wins away.
"I think our focus needs to be to win every game we play, and there is the possibility if we do that, that we will reach the 2,000 plateau this year," Stallworth said.
If the Jayhawks were to win their next four games, they would have a chance to earn their 2000th victory in Columbia, Mo., against the Missouri Tigers.
"When you are a part of that and you had the opportunity to contribute even in the smallest way on the way to that legacy, you are fortunate," Stallworth said.
"You can pull up a program or a roster that you were in and one of those games that you won contributed to the 2,000 wins we are getting ready to have."

The names are nearly hallowed today. They fill Kansas' record books and Memorial Stadium's Ring of Honor. They're shown only in grainy video, yet they're still the pulse of Kansas football.
Soon — maybe next year, maybe 10 years from now — a name and picture might join that list. He was never an All American. His chances of stringing together a lengthy NFL career are slim. And he won't even look much like a football player, even in full uniform.
But Reesing is part of Jayhawk history now, his days at Kansas officially over. Now
"Today or down the road, in my opinion, I think he's probably the greatest kid we've ever had there," said John Hadl, Kansas quarterback from 1958-1961 and a two-time All American. "He could do it all, and he did all those things for three and a half years there."
his name will slide somewhere in public opinion between the best — and worst — former jayhawks,
While his legacy is left to be decided, some former Jayhawks insist they know where it should belong.

But Todd Reeing threw for more yards, had more touchdowns and completed more passes than any Kansas quarterback. And he led the Jayhawks to their first BCS bowl appearance and victory in the 2008 Orange Bowl.
On a cold Saturday afternoon late last November, Todd Reesing passed for a

school-record 149 yards and accounted for five touchdowns in his best game of the season.
Yet Kansas still lost that night, 41-39, to rival Missouri. It was the Jayhawks' seventh consecutive defeat, and the loss ensured they wouldn't play in a bowl.
"He's the most consistent perfomer that's ever put a Jayhawk uniform on."
And with Reesing entering his third season as a starter, a year and a half after winning the Orange Bowl, there seemed plenty of reasons to be optimistic.
It was the final game of Reesing's college career.

But in the sixth game of the season at Colorado on Oct. 17, Reesing's two first-half turnovers led to 14 Colorado points. The Jawhaws lost 34-30.
So began the sinking of Kansas' football season and, in turn, Reesing's final campaign. The Jayhawks finished last in

"With the way the season ended, I think to a lot of fans, it tainted all that he had done there," said Kelly Donohoe, Kansas' quarterback from 1986-89. "That's really sad."

"His career was marred a little by the end and with coach Mangino," Donoho said. "But 1 don't think people remember that as much as all the wins and putting Kansas football on the map."
Two weeks later, Reesing spent the days before Kansas' game at Texas answering questions about an internal investigation launched against coach Mark Mangino, not about his return to his hometown of Austin, Texas.

ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper wrote last September, "Todd Reesing is a magician, but he lacks the physical skill you want in an NFL QB"
And after throwing an interception in the East-West Shrine game, more whispers surfaced about Reesing's inability to play in the physically demanding NFL.
Reeing wasn't invited to next week's NFL scouting combine for this year's draft, while three of his teammates were.

Freshmen must fill shoes of seniors lost to graduation

Alex Jones, a freshman pitcher and outfielder, said she felt overwhelmed when she took the field to play her first college softball game Friday.
"It kind of snuck up on me really," Jones said. "Just warming up and announcing our names before the first game, it was the first time that I felt like I was really a lawhawk."
Jones said she got over her nervous feelings and had one of the best weekends on the team, getting
six hits and six runs as well as stepping in as pitcher. Kansas will need similar success from Jones and the other six freshmen if it hopes to have a success

players to step up.
"The freshmen come in to a really unique situation in that we're calling upon freshmen to contribute quite a bit in their first year, which doesn't really happen a lot at our level." Smith said.
Although Kansas doesn't have a lot of depth and experience right now, playing the freshmen this season could help set a foundation for future seasons, Smith said.
"You can't put a price tag on game experience," Smith said. "These freshmen are going to get a ton of it this year."

Although Montgomery said that, like Jones, she was nervous about playing her first games, now that the first weekend is over, she thought she would be less nervous for the rest of the season.

What's in a name?
That which we call a Reeing by any other name would play just as great.
Will a football player, stripped of his last name on the back of his jersey, play as well? Or perhaps even play better?
Coach Turner Gill announced Wednesday in a press release that next season's football jerseys will feature a Jayhawk logo where the name used to be on the back.
In the release, Gill said he made the change to emphasize the team and program as a whole. He said he wanted to create a culture of unity and teamwork, to emphasize an ideology that a well-crafted whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
It sounds all well and good. Football is the ultimate team sport. So it stands to reason that a team united wins more games than a team focused on individual goals. Gill also said the team is representing the University and that removing the names from the back emphasizes the name on the front of thejersey.
But removing the players' names from Kansas' jerseys superficially demonstrates this shift in attitude. This change, which comes six and a half months before the team's first game, is simply visual right now.
If jersey changes really made that big a difference, then what's the motivation behind removing the red stripe from the center of KU's helmet? Did the red stripe signify a split among the players, and thus a lack of unity? Did it throw off the team's feng shui? Was it an inadvertent advertisement for Red Stripe beer?
That's all ridiculous, of course, but it's no more so than Gill's reason for removing the last names. It's just a jersey.
Gill's words and goals are noble and desirable. But Kansas proba-
by won't ever pull in monster recruiting classes, nor will it attract hauls of blue chip football talent. The margin of error for

a team not loaded with stars is smaller. Gill clearly gets that. What's more, from everything we've heard, Gill can take what he has and mold it into an overachieving and cohesive team.
The change is an unnecessary step that neither advances nor detracts from that goal. Whatever success Kansas football has next year will not be the result of any changes made to the iersey.
Of course, while we're altering the uniform, I've got one more change to suggest: Swap out the Trajan "KU" on the helmet and replace it with that great-looking Jayhawk helmet featured in the Missouri game last year. That might charge up the fans to cheer on the team to one or two extra victories.

This week, two iconic sports figures will re-enter the public eve after
different forms of cheating devastated their reputations. Mark McGwire is returning to the baseball world as a coach, and Tiger Woods will address the media tomorrow for the first time since his Nov. 27 car accident.
STEROID SCANDAL
Mark McGwire is officially back in baseball. He arrived in Jupiter, Fla., Wednesday for the start of spring training in his new job as hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals.
McGwire recently admitted to taking steroids during the course of his career. His career peaked in 1998 when he broke the record for most home runs in a single season.
He cheated the game of baseball.
we encounter the game of basketball.
But unfortunately, when McGwire was playing, countless others were also using performance enhancement drugs. We may never know the true extent to which Major League Baseball players used steroids in the last two decades. McGwire is a product of the time he played in. If McGwire had been a rookie in the 1960s or '70s, would he have taken steroids?
I respect McGwire for having the courage to apologize for and admit to his mistakes as a player. One thing is for sure: He could hit the ball. It will be interesting to see the kind of job he does teaching

INFIDELITY INDISCRETION
Tiger Woods will finally speak to the public tomorrow, according to his agent Mark Steinberg. It will be the first time he has addressed the media since his car accident on Nov. 27. The accident sparked an investigation into his private life and led to allegations of infidelity.
Steinberg said on espn.com that Woods "wants to begin the process of making amends, and that's what he's going to discuss."
Woods' appearance tomorrow will be very private. Only hand-picked members of the press will be allowed to attend, and Woods will not take questions. Because Woods is a role model, some people are extremely upset with the allegations that he cheated on his wife with multiple women

golfer in the world. With great power comes great responsibility, right?
However, what Woods does in his private life is his own business, and it's not our place to judge him.
He doesn't owe us anything.
Woods competes in golf tournaments for a living, and we pay to watch him. No one is forcing us to do that. If businesses want athletes to endorse their products, then they need to understand that professional athletes are faced with overwhelming temptations. As a company, you take the risk of these types of scandals ruining the reputation of your spokesman when you ask that person to endorse your product.

Woods schedules press conference for Friday
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
ORLANDO, Fla. _ Tiger Woods is set to make his first public appearance since his extramarital escapades became worldwide news, with the announcement of a Friday briefing at PGA Tour headquarters to apologize for his infidelity.
Golf's No.1 attraction will
take the podium at 11 a.m. EST on Friday at the TPC Sawgrass clubhouse, though his appearance could be very short. Reports say Woods will make a statement and will not take questions.
Attendance also will be limited to "a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates," according to a two-paragraph statement sent via e-mail.
"While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between he and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him," the statement continued. "He also let down his fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends and that's what he's going to discuss."
Woods has not appeared publicly since late November, when he crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree outside his Isleworth driveway in an apparent hurried wee-hours departure from his home the day after Thanksgiving.
Reports quickly surfaced that Woods had carried on affairs with several women.

WHISTLER, British Columbia _ Forget about the bruised shin, the controversial magazine pictures and all the other hype. American Lindsey Vonn left all of those distractions along with her competitors behind Wednesday on her way to making Olympic history.
With the win, Vonn, a 25-year-old from Minnesota, became the first American woman to win the Olympic downhill with a scorching time that beat her teammate, Julia Mancuso, who happily settled for a silver medal. It was the first time American women won two Olympic medals in the same Alpine event.
"I dreamed about what this would feel like," Vonn said, "but it is much better in real life."

Ken Starr on hand for Bears' 20th win
WACO, Texas _ Not long ago at Baylor, a 20-win basketball season was a rare occurrence worthy of a celebration.
Now it's part of a three-year streak, something that almost got lost following an 88-70 win over Texas Tech in front of new school president Kenneth Starr.
"It means a lot. It means a lot," said senior guard Tweety Carter, who remembers the hard times. "I'm loving my teammates and just enjoying the wins we're getting."
To put the recent success in perspective, the No. 22 Bears (20-5,7-4 Big 12) had recorded only three 20-win seasons in the history of the program when coach Scott Drew arrived following the tragedy and scandal of the Dave Bliss era.
Starr, the one-time Clinton-era independent counsel, took off his jacket to reveal one of the black-and-gold T-shirts worn by the "Bear Pit" fans, drawing loud applause.
"It's an honor and a pleasure to welcome our new first lady, Alice Starr, and her distinguished husband, Kenneth Starr," Briles said.

Jayhawks ready to go out to the ball game
BY BEN WARD

on another successful season under coach Ritch
Though bad weather may have postponed the start of the Jayhawks' 2009-2010 season until Monday, there's no doubt that baseball is back in full swing in Lawrence. Kansas is looking to build
on another successful season under coach Ritch Price, after going 39-24 (15-12) last season en route to an appearance in the Chapel Hill Region of the NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks were eventually eliminated in the finals by No. 4 North Carolina, but are eager to get back to post-season play and prove they belong among the best teams in the nation.
Edited by Ally Shaw
LF - Casey Lytle (junior, Phoenix, Ariz.)
CF - Jason Brunansky (sophomore, Poway, Calif.)
Coach Price said Lytle will likely bat leadoff for the Jayhawks, where he'll need to get on base and set the table for guys in the middle. This speedster is Kansas' main base-stealing threat, and appears ready to build on a team, leading 11 steals from a season ago.
Brunansky looks to see the bulk of the action in center-field, after an impressive freshman season where he started 40 games for the Jahwaks.
RF - Brian Heere (redshirt junior, Lawrence)
An on-base machine, Heere led the team with a .459 OBP while batting, 364 for the season. A player who Coach Price considers to be instrumental to the Jayhawks success, the Lawrence High product might need to shoulder even more of the offensive load than usual while Tony Thompson is injured.
SS - Brandon Macias (junior, Flagstaff, Ariz.)
After spending the past two seasons at South Mountain Community College, Macias brings in the most experience at the position in his first year in crimson and blue. Price calls Macias "flashy" defensively, but noted that the junior needs to improve at the plate.
3B - Jake Marasco (redshirt freshman, Wichita)
because of the injury to junior Tony Thompson, Marasco will be the opening-day starter at third — though until the preseason All-American returns to the lineup, the position will be in constant limbo between Marasco, Stanfield, and redshirt freshman Jordan Dreiling.
2B - Robby Price (senior, Lawrence)
The lone senior starter, Price has been a fixture in the infield during his entire tenure at Kansas - starting 172 games. Solid with the glove and at the plate, Price's presence in the lineup won't go unnoticed.
1B - Zac Elgie (sophomore, Minot, N.D.)
Elgie impressed in a utility role during his freshman season, finishing with a .305 average, three home runs, and 27 RBI. Price expects big things from Elgie this year, who says he is prime for a break-out season.
SP - T.J. Walz (junior, Omaha, Neb.)
The departure of Shaeffer Hall to the Majors means Walz will move into the Friday night slot as the ace of the staff. Walz led the team with eight wins and 88 strikeouts a season ago, and though he'll be matched up against other top-notch starters, he should post similar numbers this season.
C- James Stanfield (sophomore, Owasso, Okla.)
Catcher remains the biggest question mark for the Jayhawks following the departure of long-time backstop Buck Afenir. Stanfield heads up a trio of players who Price said will all share playing time behind the plate to begin the year. Sophomore Chris Manship (Cave Creek, Ariz.) and freshman Alex DeLeon (Woodland Hills, Calif.) will also see plenty of action.
DH - Jimmv Waters (junior, Council Bluffs, Iowa)
Waters put up modest numbers while playing sparingly last year, but improvements during the off-season mean higher expectations this season. The junior will also see time as Kansas' fourth outfielder, but regardless of position, Price says, Waters will need to produce.

Kansas to face some tough teams throughout the season
LSU
TIGERS
at LSU (Baton Rouge, La.), 3/12 - 3/14
The Tigers won their sixth national title a season ago, and though the reigning champs are missing a few pieces from their CWS title team, the trip to Baton
Rouge marks a huge early season barometer for the Jayhawks.
No. 3 in Baseball America poll; No. 2 in ESPN/USA Today Coaches', Collegiate Baseball, and National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association polls
ATM
vs. Texas A&M,
4/1 - 4/3
Coach Ritch Price said that to contend on the national level means
being among the top in the Big 12. The three-game series against the Aggies marks the first real test at home for the Jayhawks.
at Texas (Austin, Texas),
4/9 - 4/11
After finishing runner-up to the LSU Tigers, the Longhorns - ranked No. 1 by all four major preseason polls*
are loaded with talent and ready to win it all this year. A few wins down in Austin would bolster any ideas Kansas has about competing for a national title.
*Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, ESPN/USA Today Coaches' and NCBWA polls
Q
vs. Oklahoma 5/21-5/23
The Jayhawks will close out the regular season by playing host to the always-tough Sooners, who — despite losing Big
12 Player of the Year, catcher J.T.Wise — still have enough returners to build on a 49 win season and contend for a 26th conference title.
KEY DEPARTURES
SP - Shaeffer Hall (Junior, Lee's Summit, Mo.) The junior went 5-6 with a 4.18 ERA, including three complete games and a no-hitter on opening day Feb. 20 against Air Force. He was drafted in the 25th round of the 2009 Amateur Draft by the Yankees.
PETER DALLAS
SS - David Narodowski (junior, Vancouver, B.C.)
Narodowski won Big 12 Newcomer of the Year after transferring to Kansas, while hitting .354 with eight home runs and 45 RBI. He was drafted in the 15th round of the 2009 Amateur Draft by the Diamondbacks.
Hall
CITY CENTER
Narodowski
C = Bucky Areniif (graduated senior, Escondido, Calif.)
Afenir was a mainstay behind the plate for the Jayhawks, starting 179 games during his four years in Lawrence. Afenir posted his best offensive season during his senior year, batting .333 with 10 home runs and 63 RBI. He signed as a free agent following last season by the Yankees.
C - Buck Afenir (graduated senior, Escondido, Calif.)
MIKE EASTMAN
OTHER PLAYERSTO WATCH
Afenir
SP — Cameron Selik (senior, San Diego, Calif.)
SP — Lee Ridenhour (sophomore, Leena)
The duo combined to win eight games for Kansas last season, and will round out the weekend rotation behind T.J. Walz. Redshirt senior Brett Bollman, who won five games last year, will also see a solid amount of action, especially while Ridenhour recovers from ankle surgery. Don't be surprised to see freshman Tanner Poppe taking the mound sooner than later, as Price says the youngster may have the best arm on the staff.
The pitching staff as a whole begins the season in great health, and promises to be strong. It is bookended by hard-throwing relievers such as sophome Colton Murray, redshirt junior Brett Bochy and lefty hurlers senior Travis Blankenship and redshirt junior Wally Marciel.
PACIFIC TIGERS
Selik
SS - Kevin Kuntz (freshman. Overland Park)
Kevin Kuntz (freshman, Overland Park) Drafted by the Royals out of high school, Kuntz will push Brandon Macias for some playing time at shortstop. Price is excited about Kuntz's potential, and he may be the Jayhawks' long-term answer at the position.
STATE
1B - Brett Lisher (senior, Lawrence)
Ridenhour
The Free State product is known for his defense, and will certainly log some innings spelling Zac Elgie at first.

Coach Ritch Price quotes from media day:
on moving this weekend's games to Minnesota -
CHEVY
"Obviously we're disappointed to move the series to Monday, but our thought process was with the forecast this weekend, that was the intelligent thing to do. It still gives us a chance to play two games of the three, and get ourselves started at game speed."
- on players benefiting from Thompson's injury -
"If we can survive until Thompson gets back, it'll make our club significantly better."
Price
on being picked to finish second in the Big 12 -
"It's kind of uncharted waters for us. But I'll say this — I do like the swagger that's in the dugout. Those guys think they're good, and I think that's half the battle. We came here to build expectations, and we've gotten to the point that we want to make regionals on a consistent basis."
on tough schedule
"To have our schedule ranked 19th nationally in the preseason polls basically means if we win 35 games, everything else will fall into place."
-on pitching staff-
"We have the best depth in the bullpen that we've ever had — we've got really good arms out there."
Eastern Michigan game location moved indoors
After keeping the Kansas baseball team indoors for the past few weeks, inclement weather has now put the team's home opener at Hoglund Ballpark on hold.
Because of sub-freezing temperatures and snow in the forecast for this weekend, Kansas will instead open the 2010 season at 5 p.m. Monday with a doubleheader against Eastern Michigan at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn
The three-game series against Eastern Michigan was originally slated to begin at 3 p.m. Friday at Hoglund and continue over the weekend.
The move marks the second time in the last four years that the Jayhawks have played games at the Metrodome. In 2007, the Jayhawks were forced to move a home series against South Dakota State to Minneapolis' indoor facility.
The last trip to the Metrodome was successful for Kansas, which earned the team victories in two of its three games. Overall, the Jayhawks are 3-3 all-time at the homes of the Vikings and the Twins.

STUDENT SENATE
Vote turns down elections code bill
BY ANNIE VANGSNES
anniev@kansan.com
The elections commission's proposed changes were similar to a bill introduced last semester by Student Senate Executive Chairman Alex Earles and the executive staff.
A bill to change the Student Senate elections code didn't pass Wednesday after a heated debate.
Cox said he didn't think anything suspicious was going on because any senator could have submitted comments and suggestions to improve the code to the election commission, including the members of the executive staff.
"Some people felt disenfranchised that it was them trying to shove their agenda since it failed through senate," Cox said, referring to members of the executive staff.
Tom Cox, chairman of the student rights committee, said some senators thought the new bill was too similar to the previously failed bill, which sparked Wednesday night's debate.
Ross Ringer, a sophomore senator from Prairie Village, said he introduced a resolution last semester and in January recommending that the commission adopt the changes.
It was ambiguous whether Senate or the election commission had the final say over the code. Some senators argued that the election commission had the authority to alter the code, while others argued that the code falls under Senate rules and regulations and must be passed by the Senate.
Cox said the elections code fell under rules and regulations and that changes must be approved by the Senate. Though he said senators couldn't decide who had the final say, the Senate decided to vote and look critically at the issue later.
Ringer said the proposed changes, including the addition of a point system for election offences, were to make sure that in future years the Senate had rules with appropriate language to hold coalitions accountable. He said last year's elections may have pointed out some of the flaws in the elections code.
Courtney Brax, chairwoman of the elections commission, said no action had been taken yet.
"I believe that the next step would be to evaluate the rules and figure out where to go from here," Brax said.
Edited by Michael Holtz
PROPOSED POINT SYSTEM FOR ELECTIONS
Offenses that are often accidentally committed or not committed with malicious intent and has nominal effect on the election
Minor Offense (.5-1 point)
Examples:
Filing coalitions or candidates incorrectly
- Minor campaign material offenses (handbilling, posters, etc.)
Serious Offense (2-4 points)
Offenses that are committed intentionally
candidate or coalition
Significant Offense (1-3 points) Offenses that could be committed with or without malicious intent, but have an undeniable effect on the election
Examples:
Examples:
Libelous or slanderous
statements against anoth candidate or coalition
Repeated pattern of lesser offenses
Failure to comply with the elections commission rulings, including paying fines
- Not following polling regulations; poll locations, hours of operation, procedures, etc.
- Violating campaign expense limits and reporting
Encouraging an individual to commit an offense under the elections code
Egregious Offense (4-5 points)
Offenses committed with intent to disrupt the democratic process and involve egregious malfeasance
Examples:
- Attempts to influence the outcome by means of harassment, intimidation, bribery or fraud
Candidates campaigning to voters while at the poll
GLOBAL AWARENESS PROGRAM
New housing option for students promotes international awareness
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
The Global Awareness Program, which recognizes international experience, will now accept a new living situation as a means toward earning certification.
The Global House, a new housing option on the sixth floor of McCollum Hall, will open in the fall. In the past, GAP certification was limited to three options at the University, but with the addition of the new housing program, students have a fourth way of earning the GAP certificate.
Lauren Patti, a senior from Roeland Park, said she enjoyed the international experience more than the certification process itself.
Students receive the GAP certificate by earning points through completing two of three components. The components include studying abroad, completing two semesters of foreign language or three courses with an international focus and participating in co-curricular activities.
"It's to build you personally, not solely to put on a resume," Patti said.
Program coordinator, said it hasn't been decided whether to include the Global House as a separate component or incorporate it into one of the three existing components.
Jenna Hunter, Global Awareness
The Global House will be home to students interested in international affairs, and the residence hall will host cultural events and promote discussions.
"It would be a valuable experience," Hunter said. "It would be a significant amount of points for GAP."
Diana Robertson, director of the Department of Student Housing,
said she hoped to bring together students who share similar interests. Living in the Global House could be beneficial to students of all academic focuses, she said. Students of any major can apply for residency, and living in the house comes at no increased cost.
"I can't think of any type of field that someone would be going into where they're just not touched by the global sense of it all," Robertson said.
Patti also said she thought participating in international activities, such as living in the Global House, could help students in the
future.
"It's a good way to guide studies, especially those with an international focus," she said. "It gives you perspective and makes you valuable in the job market."
About 200 colleges in the U.S. offer more than 600 living-learning residential programs.
The Department of Student Success discontinued its Thematic Learning Communities on July 1 because of budget cuts. The program housed together students with similar majors. Some of the learning communities, including art and engineering, remain open
The Global House will differ slightly from these living-learning communities in that students from different majors are encouraged to apply.
Robertson said the administration wanted to provide a place to celebrate cultures and plan for the future.
with specific department funding.
index
"I think there's a commitment institutionally to the global world that we're apart of," she said, "This is helping students prepare to function in a global society."

Woman hits adult son with bat on third strike
CHARLEROI, Pa. — A southwestern Pennsylvania woman was charged with hitting her adult son with a Louisville Slugger after she allegedly came home drunk. Linda Newstrom, 49, faces a preliminary hearing Feb. 25 on simple assault and other crimes in the Valentine's Day incident.
Charleroi police said Newstrom kicked her 21-year-old son Jeffrey out of the house then swung the bat at him as he gathered his belongings — missing on the first two swings but connecting on a third.
Newstrom doesn't have a listed phone and online records don't list a defense attorney.
Police said Newstorm claimed her son hit her, but also acknowledged that she hit him with the bat, saying, "I brought him into this world and I'll take him out of this world."

Drunk brothers fight ejection from winery
FAYETTE, N.Y. — Two Pennsylvania brothers on an upstate New York wine tour have been charged with beating up a winery owner who tried to eject them for drunkenness.
State police say 28-year-old Thomas Wulff of Lebanon and 27-year-old Michael Wulff of Towanda were charged with felony assault after last weekend's altercation at the Three Brothers Winery in the Finger Lakes town of Fayette, about 35 miles southwest of Syracuse.
Troopers say the brothers were part of a group and were in the winery's tasting room Saturday afternoon when the owner asked them to leave for being too intoxicated and disruptive.
Police say the Wulfs punched and kicked the owner, breaking a bone near his eye. The injured owner's name
hasn't been released.
They were released on bail and are due back in court March 3. Their lawyer, Joseph Joch, did not immediately return a call.

Prosecutor Aaron Toscano says he believed in the case to begin with and that he still believes in it now.

STUDENT SENATE
Resolution supports elementary schools
Student Senate passed a resolution Wednesday in support of keeping neighborhood schools open in Lawrence, particularly near the University. The Lawrence School Board is discussing closing elementary schools near campus, including Hildreth and Cordley, as a result of budget cuts.
Student body president Mason Heilman said protecting the schools is important to the University because the location and quality of education is an advantage to students and University employees who have children.
The Library Gallery Commission will unveil a World War I exhibit tonight at Watson Library.
He said Hillcrest is especially helpful for international students' children because it has programs for students who speak English as a second language.
"I think it's incredibly important because having strong neighborhoods makes our university community stronger inherently," Heilman said.
The exhibit will feature letters, photographs of local military units, recruitment posters and propaganda used during World War I. The University, Haskell Indian Nations University and the National World War I Museum provided the content.
Heilman said he wanted to move the resolution along because the school board is moving quickly on its decision.
Sarah Thiel, chairman of the Library Gallery Committee, said the exhibit was designed to specifically show the involvement of local African Americans, Native Americans and University alumni in World War I. The opening of the exhibit will be tonight from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the third floor of Watson Library. The exhibit will run through April 2.

Military will finally pay extra work
Staff Sgt. Katie Blackwell shows the medals she was awarded, including the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, while she and her husband were deployed in at her home in Champlin, Minn. Blackwell, who spent 16 months in Iraq as part of a nearly two-year deployment with the Minnesota Red Bulls from 2005 to 2007, estimates she and her husband were $8,000.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST.PAUL, Minn. — Thousands of National Guard soldiers who served extra-long deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan and other conflicts were supposed to get paid time off when they came home three years ago.
Now,they may finally be about to get their money after years of frustration.
An Army spokesman said Wednesday that 6,800 Army National Guard soldiers are in line to receive the tardy checks. Among those still waiting: About 2,500 of Minnesota's Red Bulls with the 34th Infantry Division, who served the longest tour of any military unit in Iraq as part of the 2007 troop surge. A Minnesota Guard spokesman said that group should get $10 million.
Staff Sgt. Katie Blackwell of Champlin, Minn., who spent 16 months in Iraq as part of a nearly two-year deployment with the Minnesota Red Bulls from 2005 to 2007, estimates she and her husband, also a Guard soldier, together are owed $8,000.
"We've been overseas to fight for our country. When I came home, I didn't expect to have to fight on the home front," she said.
The Pentagon's fix comes after intense pressure from members of Congress and as Minnesota legislators were considering appropriating state money to make up for
the unpaid federal dollars. The Pentagon didn't announce when the soldiers would be paid, but U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., said Defense Secretary Robert Gates' office told him the checks will go out by March 19.
A spokeswoman in Gates' office declined to confirm the date.
Since the Iraq war started in 2003, the military has relied heavily on National Guard and Reserve troops, sending them into combat more frequently and
for longer tours than ever before.
Maj. Tim Beninato said Army National Guard soldiers earned the leave at a rate of $200 a day.
The soldiers were promised the paid leave — called Post Deployment Mobilization Respite Absence — for deployments that lasted more than a year. The program also recognized frequent deployments. Army spokesman
Initially, the benefit was easy to give to active-duty troops, but there was no policy created to pay Guard and Reserve members until August 2007.

Man tells police he threw girl into river
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WOODBRIDGE, N.J. — A man who satched his infant daughter from the arms of her maternal grandmother while the child's mother was in court getting a restraining order against him told police he threw the baby off a bridge and into a frigid New Jersey river Tuesday, prompting a massive search beneath a busy parkway.
Authorities say the father of 3-month-old Zara Malini-lin Abdur, 21-year-old Shamsiddi Abdur Raheem of Galloway Township, allegedly forced his way into her grandmother's East Orange apartment around 4 p.m. Tuesday, striking her in the face, choking her, and forcibly taking the baby, wrapped in a blanket and a pink and gray onesie, before fleeing in his vehicle. Search teams were still scouring the area for any signs of the girl.

Plans for new casino move ahead
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA - The proposed casino south of Wichita appeared to be back on track Tuesday, less than two weeks after Kansas Lottery officials had worried that the possibility of an American Indian-run casino opening nearby would scuttle the project.
Executive Director Ed Van Petten said the lottery had a new agreement with the Chisholm Creek partnership for a $225 million hotel-and-casino complex. The partnership would build and manage the casino for the lottery, which would own the rights to the gambling and the gambling equipment, down to the dice and cards.
Chisholm Creek had a contract with the lottery to build the complex at a site near Mulvane, about 20 miles south of Wichita, but in December, just before a state review board was to vote on the project, the partnership asked for time to revise its plans.
Chisholm Creek officials have said they are concerned about the Wyandotte Nation's long-standing pursuit of a rival casino north of Wichita. The northeast-Oklahoma tribe bought 10 acres of land in 1992 and has been waiting for more than a decade for U.S. Interior Department approval of gambling on the site.
Earlier this month, Van Petten
expressed doubts that the lottery and Chisholm Creek could draft a new agreement because the competition from a Wyandotte Nation casino would erode Chisholm Creek's revenue. He said Tuesday that the new terms included a provision offering the partnership some protection if the tribe built its casino as planned.
Van Petten said the Kansas Lottery Commission would consider a proposed contract between
the lottery and Chisholm Creek during a meeting Wednesday. If the commission approves it — as expected — a state review board will determine this spring whether the project goes forward.
Van Petten said under the new agreement with Chisholm Creek, it could phase its $225 million investment in its complex in over 12 years if the Wyandottes build their casino.
from the Wichita-area casino, but no revenues from the Wyandotte venture.
Chisholm Creek attorney John Frieden said the partnership was still reviewing the final documents for an agreement.
"I am ecstatic," Van Petten told
Chisholm Creek would be required to open its casino within 18 months and a hotel on the site within three years, he said.
The Associated Press. "We finally have an agreement that we can all live with."
Doug Spangler, a Wyandotte Nation lobbyist, didn't return a telephone message.
Officials have said they are concerned about the Wyandotte Nation's longstanding pursuit of a rival casino north of Wichita.
Kansas would receive 22 percent of the net gambling revenues
The hotel had been a big issue for the state casiio review board. Chisholm Creek's first plan didn't guarantee that a hotel would be built in the first phase of construction, though the partnership later promised to build one.
A 2007 Kansas law allows the lottery to contract for a single casino in the Wichita area. more than two years of discussions among state officials and potential developers, Chisholm Creek is the only remaining bidder.
The Wyandotte Nation hopes to operate its Wichita-area casino under federal law, and it already has a casino with limited gambling in Kansas City, Kan.

Olympics no match for 'American Idol'
LOS ANGELES — Fox's "American Idol" took home the gold Tuesday night, easily beating NBC's coverage of the Winter
Olympics in viewers and key demographics.
According to Nielsen,"American Idol" averaged 23.6 million viewers and a 9.1 rating in adults ages 18 to 49 (each ratings point translates to 1.3 million people). NBC's Olympic coverage going head to head against "American
Idol" averaged 19.7 million viewers and a 5.0 rating.
Fox's strong two hours were enough to beat the three hours that NBC, CBS and ABC were broadcasting. NBC's Olympic audience rose once "American Idol" went off the air.

EDITORIAL
Despite inconvenience, students need to recycle
Fortunately, there are options in recycling. Besides taking recyclables to local drop-off sites in Lawrence, privately owned recycling companies provide the much-needed service of curbside pickup for a small monthly fee.
Understandably, it can become a weekly nuisance to have to separate recyclable items, load the car and drive to a drop-off center in this frigid weather. Luckily, the city of Lawrence and the University have been discussing ways to make pickup services more available $ ^{b1} $
The Sustainability Advisory Board recently pitched a plan to encourage curbside recycling by designing an advertising campaign that would inform people about existing services. The Board also suggested purchasing uniform recycling bins for all the private companies.
According to Matthew Lehrman, chair of the Sustainability Advisory Board, the board decided to work with private companies because, under the current budget, the city did not anticipate creating a program of its own.
There are currently six privately-owned curbside businesses. Services range in cost from $15 to $20 per month. The fee can easily be shared between roommates. Students should take full advantage of this service because it offers the chance to be more environmentally friendly.
The University needs to become more proactive when it comes to recycling off-campus and making it as easy as possible for students to do so. Currently, numerous materials are collected in large recycling bins all throughout campus, but a program that would offer a recycling curbside service for KU students would be ideal.
Celeste Heins, program manager for the Environmental Stewardship Program, said that finding the funding for such a program would be hard to come by. She said that improving the drop-off trailer in the west Park & Ride lot, provided by KU Recycling, is the most productive way to move ahead for now.
Another way to rally students to actively recycle would be to make the service available in other types of off-campus living places, not just houses. Popular student apartment complexes such as The Reserve and Legends Place do not provide any kind of recycling
service. In these student-saturated living areas, recycling needs to become one of the amenities provided for residents.
Getting students to embrace recycling programs is the first step. Providing the amenities to be able to do it is another. Students should make an effort to recycle whether it's by splitting the cost of paying a curb-side service or by organizing trips to recycling centers. If students take the initiative to recycle it will make Lawrence that much greener.

Don't declare end of culture war yet
The imagery could hardly have been more striking. The compelling testimony could not have been any clearer. When Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen lent his support to open military service by gays and lesbians on Feb. 2, he breathed new life into the Obama administration's dormant proposal to scrap the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy
Here you had the face of the American military establishment telling the Senate Armed Services Committee that his conscience dictated that repealing the discriminatory policy was simply "the right thing to do." Though this marked a watershed in American military history, it's important to consider the broader social context in which the military's shift took place.
Make no mistake. Social issues such as abortion and gay marriage are fading in prominence. Sure, voters in Maine and California may have repeated state gay marriage laws, but such developments only represent temporary setbacks in the movement toward a more tolerant society. The culture war is slowly but surely coming to an end
A Fox News poll earlier this month found Americans support openly gay service by two to one. A May 2009 Gallup poll found that 57 percent of Americans still oppose same-sex marriage. But that's down a significant 11 percent since 1996.

reaches 59 percent.
the movement toward a less hotheaded emphasis on divisive social issues is best observed, ironically enough, in recent Republican electoral successes. Socially conservative governors were elected in Virginia and New Jersey despite, not because of, their views on moral issues. Bob McDonnell, Governor of Virginia, and Christopher Christie, Governor of New Jersey, instead talked up their economic policies, steering clear of abortion and gav rights.
BY LUKE BRINKER
This trend indicates that appeals to anti-gay sentiment will show diminishing political returns in the years to come.
Scott Brown, the current Boy Wonder of the Tea Party movement, supports abortion rights and has described Massachusetts' same-sex marriage law as a settled issue. Republican Senate candidates in Delaware, Illinois, and California are pro-choice and receptive to gay rights.
Even Ted Olsen, the conservative lawyer who represented George W.
Bush in Bush v. Gore, has teamed up with Gore's former counsel, David Boies, to challenge California's Proposition 8. When Ted Olsen takes a more liberal stance than Barack Obama, who still refuses to stake out a public position in support of same-sex marriage, you know the times are a-changer.
Before rushing to proclaim the end of the culture war, however, it's important to keep things in perspective. First, the culture war has persisted not since the 1960s, as some suggest, but for centuries. Competing interpretations of morality have animated human history. Moreover, it's quite possible that McDonnell and Christie skirted social issues in their campaigns out of a pragmatic calculation that the recession means voters are simply more responsive to pocket-book concerns. Once a sustained recovery takes shape, social issues may reemerge.
And lest we write the obituary of the us-versus-them mentality at the core of the culture war, we need only look to Sarah Palin's address to the Tea Party Convention
"We need a Commander in Chief," the former Alaska governor intoned, "not a professor of law standing at the lectern."
The old warriors aren't finished just yet.

Veterans deserve support
Nothing can sum up the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the United States armed forces.
It is essential that our nation stand behind our troops, no matter our opinions of the war. An important issue in many veterans' lives is dealing with stress after returning home.
It is hard enough to reach out for help when combating this difficult disorder. Many veterans have an extra disadvantage; they are trained to be tough and to show strength instead of weakness. Because of this "suck it up" mentality, many find PTSD even more difficult to talk about.
As with many mental illnesses, there is frequently a stigma attached to PTSD. Society needs to develop a better understanding and greater empathy for individuals with disorders like PTSD.
The National Institute of Mental Health defines post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as, "an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened."
It is time the government made it a priority to assist our veterans. With President Obama's recent budget proposal, the US Department of Veterans Affairs would receive a much-needed boost in funds. Some of these funds would go toward increased mental health services, which is a step in the right direction.
Kansas lawmakers are considering a bill to allow judges to reduce sentencing for veterans with PTSD who commit crimes and instead direct them to treatment.
This bill completely ignores the fact that, in the majority of cases, the symptoms of PTSD are internalized. The majority of those suffering from the disorder don't commit crimes. In fact, people with PTSD are more likely to hurt themselves than anyone else.
Rights and the Law
BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansan.com
According to the Collegiate Veterans Association, there are more than 300 registered veterans at KU. Given the situation in Afghanistan, this number will only increase.
The University also needs to make assistance to veterans with PTSD a priority.
PTSD is difficult enough to tackle without the added stress of earning a college degree. The Association provides a comfortable social group, but the University is behind in terms of resources and services for veterans. For example, the University of Missouri has its own resource center for veterans. This makes it easy for veterans to access services.
At the University, we walk among men and women who have devoted their lives to protecting our freedom overseas. The least we can do is support them when they need our help back at home. Cosby is a sophomore from Overcast
Most importantly, students should communicate to veterans that they do not have to fight PTSD alone. Veterans need to know that if they seek help, the necessary services and support systems will be available.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
This letter is in response to a column: "War on Terror won at American gas pumps," published on Monday, I would rather name it "Oversimplification of global politics."
According to governmentexecutive.com, army suicide rates are now higher than the suicide rate of civilian males in their 20s. This shows the need to focus on funding and resources for treatment for any veteran who needs help with PTSD, not just the few who get tangleled with the law.
I found comments about Saudi Arabia and its involvement in terrorism interesting. Most of these comments were misinterpretations of historical events or outright factual mistakes.
Mr. Lowell went to great lengths to criticize Saudi Arabia, implying that it was using its oil money to fund fundamentalists in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I would request him to provide some evidence of how exactly is the Saudi government currently providing support and money to the militants in the above-mentioned countries.
The actions of a few individuals do not represent the actions of a nation.
During the 80s, Saudi Arabia did fund the Afghan resistance but one should not forget that United States itself was the driving force behind this funding.
If Saudi Arabia is to be blamed for the rise of militancy in the Islamic world, then the United States shares an equal or even greater responsibility.
The author claimed that the Saudi ruling family "proselytized"
the ideology that later became the ideological foundations of terrorism.
The author conveniently chose to ignore that this proselytizing was encouraged and supported by the Americans and used in order to find support within the Muslim world for their covert operations against the Soviets.
The author also failed to observe that Saudi Arabia itself is suffering from terrorism by the same individuals who are threatening the United States.
The author needs to understand that it's not the Salafi ideology as a whole that's responsible for the terrorism but a few extremists within that spectrum who misuse it in order to give religious justification for their actions.
In the last decade, there have been various terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia that have claimed many innocent lives.
Extremists exist within all nations and religions but in other cases we do make distinctions between the extremists and the mainstream elements. Then why in this case is the author inclined to blame the whole nation and its ideology rather than a few individuals?

GRADUATION
I'll do it myself.
Nora Burt, a senior from Libertyville, Ill., and Katie Goron, a senior from Joliet, Ill., order graduation announcements at the Grad Finale Wednesday afternoon. The finale provided a one-stop opportunity for graduating seniors looking for caps, gowns and graduation announcements.
Caps, gowns are still available
BY SAMANTHA FOSTER
sfoster@kansan.com
Graduating seniors who missed this week's grad finale at the Kansas Union don't need to panic. There are still plenty of opportunities to buy caps, gowns and graduation announcements around Lawrence.
Caps, gowns and tassels are always available at KU Bookstores in the Kansas and Burge unions, where gowns are $20, caps are $5 and tassels are $5 each.
The University Book Shop, 1116 W. 23rd St., also keeps graduation accessories in stock.
Colby Venema, store manager of the University Book Shop, said the shop carries cap and gown sets for $25 and tassels for $3.50 each. It also carries diploma frames that range from $100 to $250.
Lauren Adams, a senior from Olden, Texas, and Casey Smith, a
senior from Williamsburg, are both pharmacy majors. They said that because this is just their undergraduate graduation, they weren't concerned about purchasing anything but the basics.
"I'll spend more on the big ceremony when I graduate from pharmacy school," Adams said. "That's going to be the important one."
At the grad finale, Jostens representatives were also taking orders for graduation announcements.
Basic announcement packages from Jostens cost about $78 for 25 announcements, and a package of 25 announcements with tissue inserts costs about $98. A package of 50 announcements costs about $172.
Students who didn't go to the grad finale can still order announcements on Jostens' website. Jostens has a three-week delivery time.

SUA to announce film fest winners
BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com
CAMPUS
Tonight, there is a possibility Selee's film might win over the SUA judges when the top three winners of the festival's competition are announced.
It took Nate Selee the better part of a weekend to shoot the short film he entered in the Student Union Activities' film festival. His film is about how different people see their lives; how perspective differs from person to person. And these perspectives had to fit into 15 minutes of a short film.
"There's always a good chance," Selee, a junior from Garden City, said about his possibilities of winning.
Student Union Activities is hosting its Second Annual International Film Festival starting tonight and running through Saturday. Along with showcasing several short films from the Expression en Corto
Film Festival, SUA will present the student-made short film winners.
Beginning in December, SUA opened a competition for filmmakers, and all majors were eligible to enter.
The third place winner will be announced tonight,the second place winner on Friday and first place on Saturday.
Thirty students submitted entries to the competition. In each film, the writer, director or producer had to be a KU student, according to the program organizer, Nancy Hoch.
Hoch wouldn't say what the prize for winning will be,but she said prizes last year included editing systems, hard drives and other
materials that would help students continue to make short films in the future.
"It's a great place to show your films to other students, which is rare and great."
ALEX BACKUS Lawrence senior
Alex Backus, a senior from Lawrence, also submitted a short film to the contest. Selee helped him write it, even though he eventually entered his own project. Backus said his film was more serious than the ones he typically made.
"It's about a father telling his son that his mother died on Christmas Eve," he said. "We shot with a little kid, and it was a blast."
Hoch said the festival was a good opportunity for aspiring student filmmakers because it gave
"Any festival is a great opportunity for KU students." Backus said. "It's a great
place to show your films to other students, which is rare, and great."
Both Selee and Backus said they hoped SUA would show all the students' films this year and not just the winners.
"It could be better suited for students," Selee said. "It would be better if they would show all the films."
The screenings will be shown in the Woodruff Auditorium on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union at 7 p.m. each night. All screenings are free and open to the public. After the students' films, SUA will show up to an hour and 15 minutes of the International Film Festival's short films. Food will be provided each night.

editor's note //
Mary Cunningham
Why do you love what you do?
I love This American Life. About six months ago, this funny, inspiring National Public Radio show became a weekly ritual for me. Every Saturday at noon, I cozy up to my kitchen table radio, usually with a cup of Earl Grey, and relax, my ears open to falling into another set of great stories.
Especially with topics so subjective as art or entertainment, it can be tricky — impossible even — to explain exactly why we enjoy something, why something excites our passions, or why we allow something to take up precious time in our lives.
But why do I have such devotion to a radio show — a form of entertainment, surely, for my grandmother's generation?
Sure, it must not hurt that, as a student journalist, the unique way This American Life's writers and editors craft their stories is compelling and innovative and I'm fascinated by the magic behind the curtain.
But I'm convinced my love affair doesn't just stent from my interest in media, but from a love we all share — the love of a good story.
When This American Life is good, it informs and entertains. When This American Life is great, it touches on the universal themes of life and humanity — the things that bind us all.
Glass, who started as an intern for NPR when he was 19, has become the face of some of the best American storytelling of our time. Our loves and tastes can separate us, but no matter what walk of life we come from, we all can appreciate a good yarn.
Check out Elliot Korr's interview with This American Life host Ira Glass on page 7 (and online at Kansan.com/Jayplay) for an insight into the man behind the show, and the stories.

stage presence // THE WISEACRES
local musicians, feel free to swoon.
The WiseAcres describe their musical sound as "hellbell hybrid bluegrass hoo tenanny hick-hop." This genre is not currently accepted by musicologists, so let's just say their music is full of quips and rhythmic variation. "We like to play songs that we like to sing and audiences can have fun with," says Cliff Davis, guitarist.
The group has written songs about Quantrill's raid. President Obama and even a song called "White Trash Wedding," a bluegrass parody of Billy Idol's "White Wedding."
"We're a little devilish. We like to poke fun at things, but everything's fair game — even ourselves," says Tim Manning, upright-bass player. Manning played in punk bands and psychedelic bands when he was younger, but says he landed on bluegrass because it appeals to multiple generations.
The band's influences range from Johnny Cash and Split Lip Rayfield to performers at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival and even the Midday Ramblers, a Lawrence bluegrass band. Clint Gentry, banjo, learned how to play by watching the Midday Rambler's banjo player, Leo Posch.
The WiseAcres have almost doubled the amount of shows they are playing compared to last year. They got serious about what they can
do acoustically as three members,but they like playing with more people,Gentry says.
The WiseAcres will be playing with a new vocalist, percussionist and dobro guitar player at 10 p.m. tonight at the Eighth Street Taproom. 801 New Hampshire St. Catch the show to hear the new wit of the WiseAcres.

Simply spray it on and the surface is sealed.
Developed by the German firm Nanopool, spray-on liquid glass, technically called "SiO2- ultra thin layering," is designed to be a flexible and breathable glass coating. It's 100 nanometers thick and can be applied a variety of surfaces.
Whether it's a plant, table, or an item of clothing, the liquid glass coats surfaces, making them stain resistant, anti-microbial and easy to clean. Made of silicon dioxide derived from quartz sand, liquid glass is non-toxic and safe for the environment. Currently the spray is available in Germany and is set to be released in other countries sometime this year.

American storyteller, Radio producer Ita Glass is host of This American Life,' a weekly National Public Radio show known for its personal stories and innovative narrative techniques. Glass will be speaking at the Lied Center at 7:30 p.m. Saturday
Q&A // IRA GLASS
because we have questions. celebrities have answers.
Ira Glass is the host of National Public Radio's This American Life, an award-winning weekly documentary show he began in Chicago in 1995.
Glass will give a multimedia presentation about storytelling and the process of creating This American Life at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lied Center. Tickets are $16-$19 for students and $32-$38 for non-students.
Jayplay : In the era of podcasting and changing media, how do you feel the process of American storytelling is changing?
Ira Glass: I don't think it's changing. I don't think that there is a real thing like American storytelling. I feel like people tell each other stories all day long. It's part of normal conversation. That's always been true; it'll always be true. The thing that has happened in the last 20 years is the rise of memoirs in publishing and journalism like we do where-people are applying the
tools of journalism to very, very personal stories, but at this point, that's kind of old news. A show like The Moth where people are standing on stage and telling funny or emotional stories are just an extension of that movement. There's a rising tide of all that that's on the scene in the same way that independent film is around. It's this thing that's happening, and it's not the biggest thing, but for people who enjoy it, it's there.
JP: Are there any shows you're watching with great interest?

From the beginning, I feel one of the things that was new about our show at the point we went on the air was that we were going to be a public radio show that was going to take as its mission to be entertaining and not just informative.
You've received a lot of recognition for your work and gained a lot of notoriety. Does that affect you? Does that affect how you produce your show?
5. It doesn't affect me. It's still hard to find a good story; it's still hard to make a good story. The actual nuts and bolts of my job are as hard as they ever were. What's easier is I don't have to sweat about how we're going to be funded next year in the way that I did in the first five years of the radio show. That was a constant struggle.
JP: After two seasons, you've stopped production on the television version of This American Life. What happened?
1G: It was just hard to do a radio show and a TV show at the same time, of the style we do. It's just hard doing two projects at once especially when those projects are as labor-

intensive as both our radio show and TV show were. After two years — and a really good experience — we said that we had to kill either the TV show or the radio show. And as good as the TV show was, we picked the radio show.
Had you considered expanding your staff so that you could accommodate both?
3. We did. The fact is we're not that big of a staff. There's only six or seven of us. The reason why the radio show feels the way it does is because we produce stories in a certain way with a certain set of ideas in our head. So we can't hire six or seven people and expect them to have the same sensibility. We'd have to hire and indoctinate them for a year or two, and then they'd be ready to do it. It didn't seem practical. Jp

WRITING ON THE WALL
// PHOTOS AND WORDS BY RYAN CAMPBELL
It's easy to walk through Lawrence and appreciate the sights. Towering trees, eclectic architecture and a colorful population are the eye candy that hold our interest and shape the distinct identity of our town. But through moments of closer inspection one begins to notice the rich and innumerable detail begging to be seen. This collection of photographs stems from such moments when the unnoticed and unappreciated come to life.
Some are quick to denounce street art, or graffiti as simple defacement of public property with no artistry and juvenile intention. At its worst, this is true; a signature quickly sprawled in spray-paint embodies such traits. However, this oversimplified view fails to appreciate the coarse beauty of graffiti. Travels through Mexico, Italy and the United States have shown me that what differentiates street art from fine art is mere pretension.

kansas in heat (print edition) // FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD
Relationship researcher Mike Anderson tackles the sticky world of relationship advice, one weekly Jayplay column at a time
Mike Anderson, Dellwood. Minn., graduate student, is the host of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Thursdays at 7 p.m. on KJHK. $9.01/m and at kjhk.org.
brides brides brides
*THE OPINIONS OF THIS COLUMNIST DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF JAYPLAY, KANSAS IN HEAT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP.
In the aftermath of Valentine's Day, I hope you found what you were looking for. I hope you used the holiday as an opportunity to finally ask out that hottie you've been wondering about. I hope you worked up the courage to initiate that conversation. I understand it is not easy and is potentially nerve-wracking. For the past 20 years, academic research has proven how emotionally complex initiating dates, flirting and meeting people can be. Both sexes experience anxiety when initiating dates. Those who have experienced failure or fear in the past have an especially tough time communicating interest and attraction.
I want this week's article to help control some of that anxiety you feel approaching a potential romantic interest. The first thing you can do is get in the habit of initiating more conversations with people in general. Get into the habit of talking to strangers and getting comfortable with striking up conversations. It will help greatly.
Secondly, don't worry about people judging you. They're too busy worrying about what you think of them. In 1996, Vorauer and Ratner coined the term "pluralistic ignorance" to help individuals with their approaching anxiety. They found that people claim their own inaction is
Neither party makes a move because they each think the other is uninterested in them. If you see someone flirting with you or giving you an indicator of interest, talk and flirt with them. Instead of seeking someone's approval, give them yours.
because of a fear of rejection.
The more you hesitate about approaching someone, the less attractive you become. Too many people worry about the opening line. It doesn't mean as much as the conversation itself and it doesn't mean nearly as much as the mindset you have when talking to people.
Don't talk to people that think your goal is to sleep with them. Build trust and comfort with them. A horny individual will rarely build rapport with someone and will rarely get someone in their bed that night. A horny person will use some cheesy pick-up line that compliments something physical about the person. However, a smart, sexual person will wait until he or she is attracted to an individual before they give that person a compliment.
When you want to build attraction through flattery, don't compliment superficial appearance. Compliment something that you have noticed
while talking to them and it will mean so much more.
I'm sure a lot of you think that making the first move is different for men and women. Sure, I acknowledge that. Women are supposed to show a signal of interest and then the man is supposed to initiate the conversation. However, that formula never happens 100 percent of the time, and I don't think it should. I find it particularly fun when the roles are switched. Again, attraction is built not from the initiation, but from the conversation and rapport that ensues.
Get in the practice of socializing and conversing. It will make you more attractive and help suppress most of your fears about approaching a male or female.The world's greatest pick-up artists also happen to be the world's greatest conversationists.

HIT or MISS
How to fend off the drunken losers and search elsewhere to find that special someone. // LESLIE KINSMAN
I 'm tending bar at a greek function in the Crystal Ballroom at The Eldridge Hotel. It's 11:45 p.m. on a Saturday. I've been on my feet for 12 hours and my patience is running thin. "Last call," I scream. The crowd darts at me like a fire alarm
has set off, and my bar is the only exit. These people have been drinking like fish, especially one gentleman with a tie around his head who has cornered a woman. Her disgusted expression is exactly the opposite of what he must have been seeing through his beer goggles, which explains his sloppy yet persistent demeanor. I struggle to watch as she attempts to fend him off. Her friends run over to save her from the disaster at hand. The girls take off and he stumbles out the door after them.
This is just another Saturday for me; witnessing sexually charged college students trying to score. So it came as no surprise after reviewing my self-made online survey and interviews with 22 KU women, to hear that half of those surveyed get hit on once a weekend and 63 percent of them say they follow it with rejection.
Ellie Kraft, Wichita senior, says she gets hit on at least once a weekend, but can easily recall one of the strangest pick-up lines she's ever heard. "One time a guy pulled off his hat as I walked by, put it on my head and said, 'Girl I'm obsessed with your height. There's something dirty about it.' I was just confused and walked away."
Addie Fike, Kansas City junior, says she also gets hit on at least once a weekend at the bars. She says more times than not the guys are drunk and she sends them on their way as politely as possible.
"Typically after being hit on I feel more embarrassed for the guy." Fike says. "I try to be as kind as possible when I'm not interested." Fike says that if the guy persists she'll say she's seeing someone or gesture to one of her guy friends to make the point.
Women can be intimidating to approach because they're usually with a group, says Scott Hill. Lenexa senior and manager at the Hawk, 1340 Ohio St. "The group effect that girls have usually keeps guys away," Hill says. "It's the same in the animal world. The pack of girls has an invisible defense that many guys fear. To woo one
girl, we have to woo the whole group."
There's a better way to meet dudes than at the local pub. "A woman doesn't trust a man's intentions when she is approached in a bar. She assumes that he's liquored-up and is not himself, at best, or being disingenuous with an ulterior motive, at worst," says Debra Condren, author of "Ambition is Not A Dirty Word."
Condren also says that meeting someone in the nightlife setting isn't the ideal kind of story to bring home to the folks. "It sounds a little sleazy meeting in a bar. It's neither a romantic nor a unique story. A woman wants to feel that she is special and inimitable, and that her man spotted those qualities in her. She knows this scenario is not likely to go down in a bar setting."
Natalie Langford, Lenexa senior, says guys at bars are usually more about trying to go home with you than engaging in a conversation to actually get to know you. "Whether they're drunk or not, they've been drinking a bit and inhibitions are quite low. Drinking gives liquid confidence and guys will say things at a bar that they most likely wouldn't say to you in class or at a hangout with mutual friends."
Bars may be the easiest way to meet people, but they can also be the worst, says Tristan Coopersmith, author of MENu DATING: Taste Test Your Way to the Main Course. "You have to expect those kinds of guys at the bars. It's the lazy person's way to meet people." Coopersmith also noted that girls may also come off intimidating and unapproachable to guys if they're dressed up when out at bars. She says displaying your true image outside of the bar scene is necessary when trying to meet someone.
"Guys want to meet you as your natural version, not your porn star version. That's why it's important to expand and diversify your dating playground, like meeting people on public transportation, coffee shops and grocery stores. You can have real-life conversations then."

Hit back. Alcohol may be a great form of liquid courage, but don't let it interfere with your expectation, using the "one" in a bar may not be the easiest task to accomplish, so try venturing to coffee shops and libraries.
DO'S & DON'TS for pickups
Engage eye contact Ask open-ended questions Be a gentleman Ask permission to take him or her away from a group of friends

catch of the week // NICHOLAS STAHL
our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
TAYLOR BURKE
HOMETOWN: O'Fallon, Mo.
MAJOR: Architecture
INTERESTED IN: Women
Major turn-ons(s): People who find a way to do what they love no matter what.
Major turn-off(o) People with a close-minded or clist attitude.
Hobbies: Music has pretty much saved my life over the last few years. I play the drums in a relatively new local band, Elevator Action.
Ideal first date: I would be really excited if someone surprised me with just about any sort of new experience. It is awesome when
someone decides to share something that they really like, whether it is some awesome little coffee shop that has a great cereal bar or just a movie they really love.
Ideal characteristics in a partner: Honesty is first and foremost. I have started to distinguish which people I really want to keep around in my life; those who you really care about and feel the same way. A relationship should be a two-way street, however, it should not nullify independence and individuality.
Worst date: I set up a movie date. Turns out her entire family was going to the very same showing of the movie. Wasn't too hyped on the whole family being in the same theater, not that I was trying to get too fresh or anything. But I could feel the eyes on me the entire time.
Type: Girls who are really good at balancing coy and assertive attitudes are really attractive for some reason. And tasteful tattoos are pretty sexy, too.

SKILLS IN Scent-ualitu
Harness the power of smell to help you relax // EMILY JOHNSON
A few squirts of lavender vanilla pillow spray helps Sarah Hockel, Overland Park junior, to sleep.
Fragrant flora often possess therapeutic qualities that you can easily attain after a little lesson in the science of scent. Aromatherapy can be relaxing, energizing, arousing or healing depending on the combinations of scents, techniques and products.
Choosing the right combination for your situation requires understanding how different scents affect you, as well as considering your personal preferences.
Smell is a powerful sense, and different scents have unique ways of influencing our behavior. David Holmes, professor of psychology, says scent is strongly tied to feelings and memories. A boyfriend's cologne or girlfriend's perfume may inspire comfort or desire, whereas a whiff of that cheap tequila you chugged outside the bar may incur nausea.
The way smells affect us is also based on
individual taste, which is often influenced by factors such as gender and culture. Local aromatherapist Joan Clark says some cultures are permeated by spices or earth tones. She says her male clientele tend to use earthy smells such as sage, while women prefer feminine, floral scents such as jasmine. These things determine what unique smells each of us is attracted to.
"People are realizing the power scent has to make us happy," Clark says. But many scents can do much more than conjure up memories or a pleasing aroma; their natural qualities can alter our mental state and stimulate physical wellbeing.
There are four methods of using aromatherapy: diffusion into the air, ingestion, skin application and smell. When you smell a certain scent, it sends signals to your brain and causes your body to react.
Rachel Thomas, Bath and Body Works employee, says the company's aromatherapy collection is separated into four main categories:
sleep, stress-relief, sensuality and energy. The categories are based on lavender, peppermint, vanilla and citrus, respectively.
These common scents are widely associated with such specific properties, but some plant extracts have multiple advantages depending on their use and combinations.
Clark says her clients love the versatile lemon eucalyptus oil, which lifts feelings of depression. When combined with peppermint and lavender it cases headache pain, and if mixed with pine it clears sinuses. Rosemary and basil make invigorating massage oils, as well as provide mental clarity. Citrus scents are not only energizing, but also uplifting when you're in a bad mood.
You can obtain the benefits of aromatherapy from a plethora of different products, such as body washes, oils, lotions, perfumes, room sprays and candles. But before you buy or apply, take into consideration your personal preferences and the effects of the scents you are sampling.

AROMATHERAPY 101:
10 ways to treat yourself to a scent-ual experience
1. Smooth on a soothing lavender-based lotion after a warm shower and before bed, or spray a lavender-scented linen mist on your pillow at night for sweet dreams.
2. Give yourself or someone who deserves it a relaxing scalp massage. Massage therapist Desirée Schumacher of Salon Di Marco & Day Spa, 733 Massachusetts St., recommends using lavender oil and focusing on the temples and the back of the head and neck.
3. Wash your feet with an exfoliating peppermint scrub to ease tension after a stressful day, and follow with peppermint lotion.
4. Warm up and chill out by sipping a steaming cup of chamomile or peppermint tea.
5. For a welcome wake-up during her morning shower, Bath and Body Works employee Rachel Thomas uses an energizing citrus-scented body wash. For added oomph, employ matching shampoo and conditioner.
6. Ladies, nab the nose of a hot date with a sexy spritz of vanilla-infused perfume.
7. Men, light some vanilla-scented candles to set the mood for a romantic evening.
8. If you suffer from nasal congestion or feel a cold creeping up, sniff an inhaler that contains lemon eucalyptus or pine oil to clear up your sinuses and safeguard against sickness.
9. Spray some rosemary-infused air freshener for increased mental clarity as you study for midterms or write that research paper.
10 Burn citrus-scented candles as you prepare for your night or day to enstill positive feelings.

in the life of ... // A COFFEE-SHOP OWNER living vicariously through others is ok with us.
A lot can happen in 24 hours. For Derek Hogan, owner of the 24-hour cafe Java Break, 17 E. 7th St., a day's activities can include anything from crafting fresh-brewed coffee to seeking medical attention for intoxicated visitors.
Hogan started serving up caffeinated confections in Lawrence almost 16 years ago. His attraction to the local culture and years of restaurant experience inspired him to escape the suburbia of Overland Park and start his own business in what he describes as an "oasis in the middle of Kansas."
Hogan opened Java Break in 1994 with a little help from family and a lot of hard work. He currently works about four nights a week behind the counter serving up items from the cafe's unique menu, which began with beverages and later expanded to include scrumptious snacks. The current selection includes a variety of hot and iced coffee beverages, smoothies and Italian sodas as well as paninis, create-your own designer cupcakes and a cereal bar. Hogan prides himself on preparing and baking all items fresh daily as well as using homemade chocolate and vanilla syrups and whipped cream in beverages. "It takes a little extra time, but it makes a huge
difference in your iced White Cow," Hogan says, which contains both of the hand-crafted vanilla and chocolate syrups.
This made-from-scratch approach sets Java Break apart from corporate competitors, and Hogan encourages and participates in the support of other small businesses. Hogan and his employees began investing a portion of their tips in a microlending program in July 2009, which provides small, but invaluable loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries to help make their businesses successful. Hogan learned the value of helping others achieve their dreams from his family's moral and financial support of Java Break.

get some culture // INTERNATIONAL FILM it's not all about fast food and beer pong. FESTIVAL
Don't let Chinese take-out and sake bombs satisfy your craving for culture this weekend. Instead, check out the Second International Film Festival at KU for award-winning international short films and an experience you won't be ashamed of Sunday morning.
Student Union Activities will host the Festival for three consecutive nights beginning at 7 p.m. tonight in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
The Festival features award-winning films from the annual Expression en Corto International Film Festival in Mexico, as well as three original student-made films that SUA selected from its contest for the event.
SUA member Andrew Fillmore, Belle Plaine
sophomore, says this year's festivities include short films from more than 14 different countries and multiple genres, including drama, comedy and animation. "You get a really wide sampling of all kinds of different cultures and films in a really short time period," Fillmore says. "If you have a short attention span I guess it's good too, because they're all short films."
Each night begins with a student submission, followed by about an hour and a half of Festival films that can range anywhere from three to 22 minutes each. The rest of the evening is a reception for viewers to mingle and chat about the movies.

music review // CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG — 'IRM' Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
Charlotte Gainsbourg, daughter of famed couple Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, has been singing and acting for quite some time. Although her acting career often overshadows her music, Gainsbourg's new full-length album, IRM, proves her talent, even in a time of difficult circumstances.
IRM, which represents the French for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), refers to Gainss-
bourg's near-death experience while water-skiing and the resulting hemorrhage, brain surgery and paranoia she endured.
IRM proves Gainsbourg's perseverance after the accident; she effortlessly creates a riveting and eclectic journey through her fear of, and ultimate triumph over death. Gainsbourg's collaboration with the album's producer, Beck, gives the music an irresistible pull. They both seem to bring out the best in one another, especially on the first single, "Heaven Can Wait."
All the tracks are good and delightfully different from one another. "Le Chat Du Café Des
Artistes" is an intriguing combination of cerie and romantic. "In the End" is a lovely but sorrowful track, with lyrics asking, "Who's to say it's all for the best in the end?"
By the end of the album, Gainsbourg, with her versatile, unique music, convinced me that it was, indeed, all for the best.

movie review // 'VALENTINE'S DAY'
Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
Remember how neat Love Actually was when it first came out? The movie employed the concept of stringing together seemingly unrelated story lines only to reveal that somehow, all the characters were still connected. Now fly to America, to Los Angeles no less, and have Gary Marshall (Pretty Woman to The Princess Diaries) direct and BAM, you have Valentine's Day.
Now, I am not suggesting that it is a total rip-off of the 2003 romantic comedy from across the pond, but if you liked Love Actually, then you're probably going to like this Gary Marshall film as well.
Headlined with a star studded cast, it is easy to picture such famed actors in humble roles. Valentine's Day presents us with a florist, a schoolteacher, a doctor (Patrick Dempsey), a quarterback, an agent, a publicist, a grade-school boy, a couple of teenagers (Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner), a TV anchor ... the list goes on.
As well as exploring different types of love on different levels, Gary Marshall chooses to show a range of characters from many walks of life.
Never before (and I'm referring to mainstreet Hollywood here) have I seen such an
array of color and sexual orientation. Marshall doesn't hit you with his attempts at political correctness, but rather subtly ties it all in to truly reflect American society and culture.
Valentine's Day isn't about making those with their special valentines feel good about themselves or tearing down those who are without. Instead, it's a feel-good movie about making connections and knowing who really matters.

FISHING FOR FOSSILS
WHAT A CATCH!
WHAT THE FOSSIL?
Meet Bonnerichthys, a giant plankton-eating fish that lived in the seas of Western Kansas more than 100 million years ago. A fossil of the 18-foot fish was recently classified by a team that included a KU scientist
B. W. HARRIS
Team uncovers Bonnerichthys, fills hole in Mesozoic fish lineage
BY NANCY WOLENS nwolens@kansan.com
Adam Buhler/KANSAN
Larry Martin refers to the fish as a "gentle giant in a sea of monsters." Although the 18-foot-long fish is mere bones today, more than 100 million years ago, in the age of the dinosaurs, it journeyed through the ancient seas that once covered the Kansas plains.
After thoroughly studying prehistoric fossils of the animal, Larry Martin, senior curator of vertebrate paleontology at the University's Natural History Museum, and an international team of researchers identified the fossil as a giant plankton-eating bony fish — a lineage of fish that had evidently been missing from the Mesozoic realm of the seas until now.
Although Martin's research team had studied fish fossils in other places, it was their finding of a critical fossil in western Kansas that made the whole study complete.
CALL HIM AHAB
Larry Martin, senior curator of vertebrate paleontology, displays a rendering of the Bonnerichthys. He helped write an article discussing the giant plankton-eating fish.
In recognition of their find, Martin and his team were featured in Science Magazine, published Thursday, with the article, "100-Million-Year Dynasty of Giant Planktivorous Bony Fishes in the Mesozoic Seas."
FINDING THE FOSSIL
Years ago Martin purchased a number of fossils - one of which happened to be from the giant plankton-eating fish - from the Marion Bonner family, a fossil-collecting family that has fossils in museums throughout the U.S.
Orville Bonner, a retired vertebrate paleontology preparator for the University, said the significant fossil of the giant planktivore was uncovered from the Niobrara Chalk, a fossil collecting site in Western Kansas, in 1971 by his father Marion Bonner. Orville Bonner said they knew immediately they had discovered something unique.
"It had huge eyes, and they were about as large as a volleyball," he said.
Martin and the team named the fish Bonnerichthys after the Marion Bonner's noteworthy discovery.
Orville Bonner, who is the oldest of eight siblings and currently lives in Lawrence, said his family has been collecting fossils from the chalk canyons in Kansas since 1925.
Martin said the Niobrara Chalk is a
distinct landmark, where scientists have been collecting fossils since 1870.
"It's most famous for its marine deposits from the age of the ancient dinosaurs," Martin said.
Despite its size, the planktivore ate phytoplankton — tiny organisms that still fill waters today.
"This is telling you that the old western interior sea was really very lush." Martin said. "The only way you can have a big animal like this is if there is an awful lot of organisms to fill the water"
THE PROCESS
See a photo gallery of Bonnerichthys at kansan.com
Fossils of these fish had been found before, but researchers didn't realize what they were. Martin said. The fish it most resembled was a Protosphyraena, a genus of ancient swordfish, he said.
The team of six used new fossils from the United States, Europe and Asia, but Martin obtained the most critical fossil, the skeleton of the fish, in western Kansas.
"I knew it was a fish we really didn't know that much about, and we had acquired

Asher Roth: The thing about a college town is that the crowds are there to have fun. They're not there to judge or to be critics. It's fun because the show is not the end-all. It's like the party just started.

"I Love College" was about bringing people together to have fun. You have to evolve your content and who you are as a person. It's about learning.
K: How do you keep yourself from getting caught up in celebrity gossip and rumors?
AR: You just realize that none of that is important. The best way is to ignore it. Human beings are sensitive for the most part. But it's the way of the business. You have to remember what's important to you. I have a handful of friends. You have to surround yourself around people you trust. You're not going to be able please everyone.
AR: You should be excited. There is really fun stuff coming. There's a lot of good music that's fun. It's quality over quantity. There will be really dope stuff coming out soon.

K: What should Lawrencians look forward to Saturday?
The Lawrence Human Relations Commission confirmed Thursday its November decision to not recommend including gender identity and expression
as a protected category in the City of Lawrence anti-discrimination code.
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
Students and community members commented on the issue during Thursday's
Gender identity not recommended for code
meeting. Toni Wheeler, HRC city liaison, estimated 75-100 people attended the meeting - an unusually large turnout.
Student body president Mason Heilman attended and spoke at the meeting on behalf of Elise Higgins, community affairs director, and Student Senate. With the Senate's 2009 decision to include protection of gender identity and expression in University policy, as well as similar action taken by Kansas government, Heilman said the city
"Students who fall under the protections of a gender identity non-discrimination clause should be protected in the community," he said. "Not just at the university."

Matthew Blankers, a senior from Claremont Calif., said that the current city code failed to acknowledge certain people who needed its protection.

Through its recommendations to the city commission, HRC works to eliminate discrimination in employment, public accommodations and housing. Currently, the Chapter 10 code prohibits discrimination because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, age, ancestry, familial status, sexual orientation and disability.

Unless a member of the public or HRC requests the recent vote be reopened for debate, the approved report will be placed on the city's commission, which could be passed without discussion. Wheeler did not wish to comment on the likelihood that the issue be reopened, nor the opinions of the commissioners.
The commission did not wish to revisit it and wanted to stick by its earlier decision, Wheeler said.

Man says he threw daughter off bridge
NEWARK, N.J. — A New Jersey man pleaded not guilty Thursday after police say he told them he threw his 3-month-old daughter off a bridge.
Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem, 21, of Galloway Township, appeared composed during his arraignment. Public defender Regina Lynch entered the plea on his behalf.
Abdur-Raheem is charged with attempted murder on accusations that he assaulted the baby's maternal grandmother after showing up at her home and snatching the girl, Zara Malani-lin Abdur, from her arms Tuesday afternoon. He is also charged with kidnapping, two assault counts and child endangerment.
Police say Abdur-Raheem forced his way into the grandmother's East Orange apartment around 4 p.m. Tuesday, striking her in the face, choking her and pulling the baby from her arms before fleeing in a van.
Woman petitions to ban pit bulls
The 60-year-old grandmother, whom police declined to identify, chased after Abdur-Raheem and was struck when she tried to stop him by throwing herself in the path of his vehicle, authorities said. Abdur-Raheem then headed toward southern New Jersey, and police say he told them he tossed the child from the Garden State Parkway's Driscoll Bridge, over the Raritan River, on his way.
REGENT, N.D. — A North Dakota woman is trying to ban pit bulls from her small community after finding out her adult
grandson purchased three of the dogs. Patty Robbins circulated a petition to ban pit bulls and Rottweilers, gathering 43 signatures in the town of 200 and she turned it into Regent city officials Tuesday.
Robbins said she hopes her action doesn't damage her relationship with her grandson but isn't sure about the effects of her petition.
David Winegar said his grandmother "freaked out" about his dogs but added, "We get along. My grandma's my grandma."
Robbins said she once watched one of her dogs get attacked by a pit bull and fears for the safety of her grandson's four boys and others in the town.
Auditor Karen Kouba said a public hearing likely will be held in a couple of weeks on the issue.

STATE
Marriage bill would limit divorce options
TOPEKA — Kansas would become the fourth state in the nation to allow covenant marriage under a bill progressing in the House.
Covenant marriage would be a voluntary agreement committing a couple to a higher threshold for divorce than conventional marriage.
Language creating the option was added Thursday to a bill on common law marriage. The House gave the bill first-round approval.
Proponents say the option would strengthen marriages in Kansas. Couples choosing covenant marriage would have to receive premarital counseling and sign an affidavit stating their intentions.
Opponents say the law would force couples to stay in relationships that may be harmful.
Arkansas, Arizona and Louisiana already have covenant marriage laws.

Radio personality to speak at Lied Center
Ira Glass, host of National Public Radio's "This American Life," will speak at the Lied Center at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Glass will give a 90-minute multimedia presentation on the aspects of compelling storytelling and the behind-the-scenes process of putting together "This American Life."

"This American Life" is an award-winning weekly documentary show known for its narrative style that has a following of more than 1.8 million, according to the Lied Center. Glass began "This American Life" at Chicago's WBZ in 1995.
"From the beginning, I feel one
of the things that was new about our show at the point we went on the air was that we were going to be a public radio show that was going to take as its mission to be entertaining and not just informative." Glass said in an interview with KJHK earlier this month.
Tickets are available at the Lied Center and are $16-$19 for students and $32-$38 for the public.

KU teams qualify for debate event
CAMPUS
Two University of Kansas debate squads qualified for this year's National Debate Tournament, the University announced Thursday.
Last year Brett Bricker and Nate Johnson brought the first national debate title to KU in 26 years.
The team of Christopher Stone, a senior from Derby, and Patrick Kennedy, a junior from Leawood, and the team of Dylan Quigley, a senior from Wichita, and Sean Kennedy, a junior from Leawood, received automatic first-round at-large
invitations. Stone has qualified for the National Debate Tournament four times, and Sean Kennedy and Quigley each have qualified twice.
"It is a tremendous accomplishment for the team to receive two first-round invitations to the National Debate Tournament," said KU debate coach Scott Harris in a prepared statement. "It is a testament to the hard work of the entire debate squad and all of the assistant coaches."
This year, KU and Wake Forest University were the only schools to each have two teams ranked in the top 16.

LOS ANGELES — Walt Disney Pictures, whose decision to advance the date for the DVD release of its coming movie "Alice in Wonderland" has created an uproar with European theater operators, made peace with one major U.K. exhibitor.
Cineworld announced Thursday that it had agreed to show Tim Burton's 3-D adaptation of the classic Lewis Carroll tale starring Johnny Depp on more than 150 screens when it debuts March 5.
But Cineworld Chief Executive Steve Wiener said his chain had reached a "satisfactory compromise" on the matter. "As leaders in 3D we do not want the public to miss out on such a visual spectacle."
European theater operators are worried that an early release of the DVD will undercut ticket sales. Two other leading exhibitors in the U.K., Odeon Cinemas and Vue Entertainment Ltd, have threatened to boycott the film, as have a majority of Dutch cinema operators.
Disney distribution chief Bob Chapek traveled to London for talks with exhibitors. Although progress has been made with Vue, talks have stalled with Odeon, said people familiar with the matter.
"As a result of Disney's insistence on reducing at short notice the theatrical window from 17 weeks to 12 weeks on a major 3-D title, regrettably with limited availability of 3-D screens, we have been left with no viable means of scheduling and promoting 'Alice in Wonderland,'" Odeon said in a statement.

Budget cuts threaten film commission
Film Commission Executive Director Joe Bookchin says movie and TV productions that are filmed in Vermont use local tradesmen, caterers and hospitality providers.
Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas wants to eliminate the commission, which gets $171,000 a year in state funding. Among the movies that have been filmed in Vermont in recent years: "Me, Myself & Irene,""What Lies Beneath" and the 2008 Hallmark movie "Moonlight and Mistletoe."
MONTPELIER, Vt. — Facing elimination in a budget-cutting move, the head of the Vermont Film Commission says his agency should be spared because it brings movie producers, TV commercials and others who spend money and promote Vermont to outside audiences.
Legislator for ban on first-cousin marriage
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A Mary land state legislator says it's time to ban marriages between first cousins and stop playing what he calls "genetic roulette" with their offspring.
Henry Heller, a Democratic delegate, or state representative, says he wants to bring Maryland "into the enlightened world of other states such as West Virginia and Arkansas" that already prohibit unions of first cousins.
Heller is a retired special education administrator. He says couples who are first cousins are at an increased risk of having a child with birth defects.
The bill would make an exception for people who are over age 65 or infertile.
There are 24 states that prohibit marriage between first cousins.

What is the best way to keep excitement and satisfaction in a relationship throughout the year?
Lets Talk about Sex
6
BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI
We've probably all been through that scenario at some point in a relationship. You're sitting at home with your partner, watching TV and either exchanging meaningless talking points or simply not talking at all.
This is usually the point where your relationship has gotten serious and all the butterfly-excitement has turned into normal, boring life again. Don't get me wrong, that's great!
Nevertheless, relationships won't just last forever by spending time together. Among other aspects, sex is an important part of a relationship and shouldn't be overlooked. Sex is not always fun; sometimes you have to make it exciting. A 2009 study in the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality listed "interpersonal risk taking and exploration" as one of the key factors of good sex. Even the best missionary position in bed can get boring after a while.
Instead of starting to stretch your muscles for advanced Kamasutra positions, try working on the time and place of your sexual interactions. How about surprising your partner in the morning by having sex before class? I bet you're not going to fall asleep during that lecture.
Or why not just making out in the stacks before you go back to your research paper? Actions can be louder than words. Try stroking your partner's back while you're waiting in line or flashing them a smile. Who would not appreciate a sudden sensual kiss while doing the dishes?
Small acts that don't happen on a regular basis but usually evoke a good feeling will keep your affection for each other alive and renew your feelings without having to say it.

Queerly Speaking
BY LAUREN BORNSTEIN
Good ol' Valentine's Day: the mushiest, gushiest day of the year. Love one another. Send chocolates. Sweet kisses. Yay, romance!
Whether or not you like Valentine's Day, we can all agree this day has become the lovey-dovey day where you go out of your way to cherish a special someone. This should not be the case. When it comes to healthy relationships, you shouldn't rely on holidays as the main way of letting someone know how much you care.
I mean, as all those Hallmark cards saying "Just Because" demonstrate we aren't meant to appreciate others just on holidays.
In case you're one of those hopelessly deluded, romantically inept types, here's some love advice from me to you: It's not about the money you spend. Love is deeper than material goods. It's about letting the person you love know it in whatever way you can
Use words or sweet touches.
Set aside time or leave a random love note. It's the little things that make the biggest difference.
There's a reason every preteen Facebook status has those cliché quotes, "Wait for the guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot."
If that doesn't work out, post your own wonderful Facebook status about love like I did in the slightly toned-down words of Andre Segui, "You don't send me flowers anymore, you big meanie."
More aptly phrased in the eternal words of Blink 182, "All the small things true care, truth brings. She left me roses by the stairs, surprises let me know she cares." I think you get the idea.
Express yourself beyond material goods and more than a few days in the year. Try a little tenderness. Then try it again.

Sex and Sensibility
BY MELISSA LYTTON mlytton@kansan.com
Everyone has heard that communication is important for a healthy relationship. It helps a couple avoid arguments, understand different viewpoints and achieve great things together.
But I've found that communication is also one of the keys to continuous passion and more complete satisfaction in all aspects of a relationship.
In general people are curious creatures, and their sexuality is no exception. I've met very few people who are only interested in standard, missionary-style intercourse. The funny thing is, two very adventurous people can be dating each other but never try anything new.
Although the stigma surrounding alternative sexual practices has lessened throughout the years, conversation about the subject can still feel a little awkward for some people, even those in the more promiscuous college demographic.
If you don't tell your partner what you want to try, you'll probably never try it.
Opening up the floor for honest sexual conversation does so much more than just feed romantic excitement. Being able to talk about such private subjects deepens intimacy and reinforces communication in general. Plus, if you're able to accept your partner's desires, even if you don't indulge them, your partner will feel more relaxed, loved and fulfilled. And a happy partner is more likely to be interested in romantic encounters.
It's a wonderful cycle that grows exponentially the more you invest in it, and all it takes to start is a little time to talk frankly with your partner. How much easier could it get?

KU steps for sustainability
Sometimes when I am sitting in the Underground eating lunch, I take time to people watch out the windows. I like to see how people interact while admiring the beautiful campus.
I tried to ignore the wastefulness, instead focusing my sights on the activities of the Underground.
The other day, though, I witnessed something that disgusted me. As a student rushed to class, he held a plastic spoon in his mouth, carried his box of food in one hand and carelessly threw his empty soda can in the trash.
Unfortunately, that only made things worse as I observed people throwing newspapers and hoards of garbage into trashcans and noticed all of the lights shining from the ceiling.
That got me to thinking:
Just how eco-friendly is the University? The answer is, apparently, not very.
On the 2010 College Sustainability Report Card, the University received an overall grade of a C+. This is not acceptable for the University.
Improvement is a must. This can be achieved by evaluating KU's report card and by looking at programs implemented by universities and colleges that received As.
Out of the nine categories, the University scored two As, four Bs, one D and two Fs. The As were for both student involvement and investment priorities. Although the grade is good, there is always room for improvement. So, get involved. Clubs, such as the Environs, offer ways to make a difference and to help make the University more eco-friendly.
If "investment priorities" are so high, I wonder why that money is not being used to improve efforts in categories such as green building, which earned a measly D.
Organically Speaking
The University definitely has room for improvement in regards to developing more "green buildings." Not a single building on campus is LEED-certified, meaning that no building meets the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) "green building" criteria. Also, no building is EnergyStar labeled.

These improvements would, without a doubt, earn the University a better grade on the report card. But, the attention is not the point, just an added bonus. More importantly, these certifications would mean the University has made progress in sustainability and is helping the environment.
The University can move toward improvement by holding more meetings and being serious about putting plans into action. According to a survey submitted by the University in July 2009, the Sustainability Ambassadors had only met four times since August 2008. The Sustainability Advisory Board had only met twice.
By implementing monthly meetings of these groups, sustainability issues could be addressed and fixed in timely manners.
There are many more details that go into the Sustainability Report Card. More could be said about ways to promote sustainability. But for now the best thing to do is talk to the administration and let them know how important it is for the University to be eco-friendly.
Oh, and be sure to recycle that soda can.

No cost-benefit analysis in minds of criminals
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I am writing in response to the editorial on Feb. 16 about the punishment for hit-and-runs. I agree with the writer's conclusion: Punishment for the drivers in hit-and-runs should be increased. No one should be allowed to kill someone while driving in a car and not serve jail time.
But, I have serious problems with the editorial's premise. No matter how much we would like it to be so, laws do not deter crimes of this type. Rather, they punish the offenders. Yes, the law should be strengthened and the punishments made greater, but this will not deter people from leaving the scene of the crime, and it will definitely not lower the number of deaths.
Drunk drivers are not weighing which option will give them less jail time. People do not flee the scene of a crime because of a cost-benefit analysis. They do so because they think they won't get caught.
Even if the punishment is greater, they will still flee the scene of the crime, because they will still believe that they won't get caught. Generally, morality is what deters us from committing crimes, not laws. The reason most of don't us go out and murder people is not because the laws forbid it. It is because our parents taught us that killing people is not OK.
Changing this law to punish offenders is the right thing to do, but thinking that doing so will in any way deter criminals is outright foolishness.

The last chance to enroll
Students utilize 20th day policy to get classes later in semester
BY KIRSTEN KWON
kkwon@kansan.com
When Jeff Haginara, a junior from Topeka, entered his business class for the first time last week, he was already four weeks behind his peers. Haginara had swapped his Statistics 301 course for Decision Making in Business 305, despite losing points in the class.
"It was a risk because I'd already missed 60 or 70 points out of 1,000, and that adds up." Haginara said.
Haginara was one of many students who took advantage of the University's 20th day policy, which was implemented in Fall 2007.
This year, the 20th day fell on Feb.11, and on that day, 972 students entered the Registrar's office. The Registrar data could not confirm whether all 972 students came for the purpose of changing classes.
While many students take advantage of late enrollment, some find it is difficult to catch up with weeks of missed work.
"I probably have to put in more effort than other people and since I missed out on those points I can't miss out on many other things," Haginara said.
Despite this, he said he did not
regret the change because his current class fit in better with his schedule and the course material was more valuable.
"It's definitely worth it in the long run because this course is a lot more beneficial to me," Haginara said.
Switching classes can cost money in addition to extra work.
Students needed to withdraw from a course by Feb. 4 in order
to receive 50 percent of their money back for the class. Dropping a course on the 20th day means no refund at all. Swapping classes with the same number of credits doesn't
"I believe it allows students to determine if the course is meeting their needs, and they might be able to get into classes that were possibly closed before," Hahn said.
In some cases, the 20th day policy saves students from needing additional semesters to graduate.
Two and a half weeks into the fall semester of 2009, Adam Stant was finally able to enroll in the courses he needed.
But Joan Hahn, assistant University Registrar for student services, said giving students until the 20th day of the semester to change courses could still be a good idea.
cost anything extra, but if a student swaps a four-credit course with a three credit course, the student would have to pay for the additional credit.
"I believe it allows students to determine if the course is meeting their needs."
JOAN HAHN
Assistant University Registrar
"I was weeks behind on the material, so it was hard to catch up," Stant, a senior from Overland Park, said.
Stant was granted permission to join both Sociology
360 and Psychology 104. He needed to take both courses that semester in order to stay on track with his graduation plans.
"I didn't want to put them off for another semester," Stant said. "If I didn't get into them, I would have to stay for another semester."

Americans return home from Haiti
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — American missionaries accused of child trafficking in the aftermath of Haiti's earthquake returned home Thursday and urged the safe release of the two women left behind in a Port-au-Prince jail.
From left, Sila Thompson, 19, of Twin Falls, Idaho, Paul Thompson, 43, of Twin Falls, Idaho, Drew Culberth, 34, of Topeka, Kansas, and Steve McMullin, 56, of Twin Falls, Idaho, leave the hotel at the Miami International Airport Hotel in Miami on Thursday.
Four ofthe eight freed Americans landed Thursday at Kansas City International airport to cheers and hugs.
The group's leader, Laura Silsby, and her former nanny, Charisa Coulter, remained in jail in Haiti. Both arrived at a Port-au-Prince courthouse on Thursday to be questioned by a judge about their plans to set up an orphanage in the Dominican Republic.
"Everything is going well" Silsby told reporters. "I don't know the exact day we are going to be free."
Saint-Vil said he did not release Silsby, 47, or Coulter, 24, both of Boise, Idaho, because the two had previously visited Haiti in December and planned even before the quake to open an orphanage.
The group was caught Jan. 29
trying to take 33 children out of Haiti without adoption certificates. The arrests came as ad officials urged a halt to short-cut adoptions in the wake of the earthquake.
Silsby originally said the children were orphans or had been abandoned. But The Associated Press determined that at least 20 were handed over willingly by their parents, who said the Baptists
promised to educate their kids in the U.S. and let them visit.
The four who returned home on the flight to Kansas City planned to travel to Topeka, Kan. They included Drew Culberth, a 35-year-old Topeka firefighter and father of four; Culberth's brother-in-law, Paul Thompson; Thompson's son Silas Thompson, 19; and Steve McMullin.

ATLANTA — An Atlanta highway turned into a circus Thursday afternoon when an escaped zebra galloped along a busy section of interstate with police in hot pursuit.

"He obviously was excited, but he was in good shape," Drake said. "His handler calmed him down."
The animal suffered cuts on his hooves from his long run, Drake said. The show's vet was examining him, but Drake said he would likely perform as scheduled.
"It was just an unavoidable accident today and we're just

Lima's flight snarled Atlanta's already notorious rush hour traffic.
"It wasn't on the highway very long," she said. "But it was an inconvenient time for this to happen because the downtown connector southbound usually gets backed up on its own, that time of day."
The circus is in town this week and also had a group of elephants corralled Thursday in a downtown Atlanta parking lot.
It's not the first time a zebra has been spotted along a metro Atlanta highway. In April 2008, a 2- to 3-month old zebra was found injured along Interstate 75. Authorities said at the time they thought the young zebra had likely fallen from a truck passing through Georgia and was then hit by a car.
Police who worked that incident kept referring to the animal as "Evidence," and that became his name.
Evidence was rushed to the veterinary school at Auburn University in Alabama, where he underwent several operations. He was then taken to the Noah's Ark animal rescue center in Locust Grove, Ga., where he still lives.

Private plane crashes into Austin building
Pilot had had run-ins with the IRS, which worked in the office building
A firefighter on a ladder works to put out a fire at a seven-story building in Austin, Texas, on Thursday after Joseph A. Stack crashed a small private plane into the building, which houses the Internal Revenue Service. Stack had posted a screed online Thursday that cited run-ins he had had with the IRS.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ralph Barrera/AUSTIN-AMERICAN STATESMAN
At least one person in the building was missing.
AUSTIN, Texas — A software engineer furious with the Internal Revenue Service launched a suicide attack on the agency Thursday by crushing his small plane into an office building containing nearly 200 IRS employees, setting off a raging fire that sent workers running for their lives.
The FBI tentatively identified the pilot as Joseph A. Stack, 53. Law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still going on, said that before taking off, Stack apparently set fire to his house and posted a long anti-government screed on the web. It was dated Thursday and signed "Joe Stack (1956-2010)."
In it, the author cited run-ins he had with the IRS and ranted about the tax agency, government bailouts and corporate America's "thugs and plunderers."
"I have had all I can stand," he wrote, adding: "I choose not to keep looking over my shoulder at 'big brother' while he strips my carcass."
The pilot took off in a singleengine Piper Cherokee from an airport in Georgetown, about 30 miles from Austin, without filing a flight plan. He flew low over the
Austin skyline before plowing into the side of the hulking, seven-story, black-glass building just before 10 a.m. with a thunderous explosion that instantly stirred memories of Sept. 11.

Flames shot from the building, windows exploded, a huge pillar of black smoke rose over the city, and terrified workers
The Pentagon scrambled two F-16 fighter jets from Houston to patrol the skies over the burning building before it became clear that it was the act of a lone pilot, and President Barack Obama was briefed.
"It felt like a bomb blew off," said Peggy Walker, an IRS revenue officer who was sitting at her desk. "The ceiling caved in and windows blew in. We got up and ran."
Stack was presumed dead, though police said they had not recovered his body as of Thursday evening. At least 13 people were injured, with two reported in critical condition. About 190 IRS employees work in the building.
Gerry Cullen was eating breakfast at a restaurant across the street when the plane struck the building and "vanished in a fireball."
Matt Farney, who was in the parking lot of a nearby Home Depot, said he saw a low-flying plane near some apartments just before it crashed. "I figured he was going to buzz the apartments or he was showing off," Farney said. "It was insane. It didn't look like he was out of control or anything."
The building, in a heavily congested section of Austin, was still smoldering six hours later, with the worst of the damage on the second and third floors.
"It felt like a bomb blew off. The ceiling caved in and windows blew in."

According to California state records, Stack had a troubled business history, twice starting software companies in California that ultimately were suspended by the state's tax board, one in 2000, the other in 2004. Also, his first wife
filed for bankruptcy in 1999, listing a debt to the IRS of nearly $126,000.
The blaze at Stack's home, a red-brick house on a tree-lined street in a middle-class neighborhood six miles from the crash site, caved in the roof and blew out the windows.
Elbert Hutchins, who lives one house away, said the house caught fire about 9:15 a.m. He said a woman and her teenage daughter drove up to the house before firefighters arrived.
"They both were very, very distraught." said Hutchins, a retiree who said he didn't know the family well. "That's our house!" they cried. "That's our house!"
Red Cross spokeswoman Marty McKellips said the agency was treating two people who live in the house.

Soldiers stage coup in Niger, suspend constitution
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NIAMEY, Niger — Renegade soldiers in armored vehicles stormed Niger's presidential palace with a hail of gunfire in broad daylight, kidnapping the country's strongman president and then appearing on state television to declare they staged a successful coup.
The soldiers also said Thursday on state TV that the country's constitution had been suspended and all its institutions dissolved. The spokesman for the soldiers said the country is now being led by the Supreme Council for the Restoration of Democracy and asked their countrymen and the international community to have faith in their ideals which "could turn Niger into an example of democracy and of good governance."

cratic elections in 1999 that followed an era of coups and rebellions. But instead of stepping down as mandated by law on Dec. 22, he triggered a political crisis by pushing through a new constitution in August that removed term limits and gave him near-totalitarian powers.
The ease with which Niger's democratic institutions have been swept aside has marked a setback for a region struggling to shake off autocratic rulers. In Guinea, a military junta seized power in December 2008 after the death of the country's longtime dictator, only to have the junta leader go into voluntary exile after he survived an assassination attempt a year later.
Niger has become increasingly isolated since then, with the 15-nation regional bloc of West African states suspending Niger from its ranks and the U.S. government cutting off non-humanitarian aid and imposing travel restrictions on some government officials.
French radio station Radio France Internationale reported that the soldiers burst in and neutralized the presidential guard before politely escorting Tandja outside to a waiting car which drove him toward a military camp on the outskirts of the capital. His whereabouts remained unknown hours later when the soldiers took to the airwaves to announce the coup.
"Armored vehicles came into the palace and began shooting at the building."
The nation's latest troubles began
MOUSSA MOUNKAILA Palace driver
Tandja first took power in demo-
suddenly in NIamey on Thursday afternoon, when gunfire broke out around the impoverished nation's small presidency.
"Armored vehicles came into the palace
and began shooting at the building," said Moussa Mounkaila, a palace driver. He said the mutinous troops had come from a military barracks at Tondibia, about seven miles (12 kilometers) west of the capital. Mounkaila said he saw smoke rising from the damaged presidency before he jumped over a wall and fled.
Tandja had just gathered government ministers for a Cabinet
meeting when the gunfire erupted outside.
A diplomat in neighboring Burkina Faso said the mutinous soldiers are led by Col. Abdoulaye Adamou Harouna, the former aide-d-camp of Niger's previous coup leader Maj. Daouda Mallam Wanke. In Niamey, soldiers contacted by telephone inside their barracks said the coup was led by Col. Adamou Harouna, but gave a different first name — saying it was Djibril, not
Abdoulaye, and did not confirm whether or not he was an aide to Wanke.
It was Wanke that led the 1999 coup, seizing power after the country's former military strongman was gunned down in an incident that was dubbed "an accident." Wanke, however, organized democratic elections less than a year later, which Tandja won. The diplomat, who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the
media, said that Haroua — once Wanke's top aide — is part of an army faction that is deeply disillusioned with Tandja for violating his constitutionally mandated term limit.
They see him as having violated the trust the military initial placed in him when they ceded power in elections 11 years ago, he said. It was not immediately possible to confirm the diplomat's account or to resolve the discrepancy in the name.

Sales of e-textbooks could rise
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com
As more digital reading devices hit the market, more textbooks could be offered in digital formats.
Publishers like McGraw-Hill and Pearson Higher Education already offer most of their textbooks in digital form. McGraw-Hill offers 95 percent of its books in digital formats, according to a press release. New applications allow e-textbooks and Kindle books to be readable on iPhones and the soon-to-be-released iPad.
Kayla Barrs, a senior from Abilene, Texas, said she would be interested in the books, but she probably wouldn't buy an iPad or Kindle. She said she would just use her iPhone if she were to buy e-textbooks. Barrs said she saw both the positives and the negatives of using an e-textbook.
"I have a thing about books,
and I like to have the books in front of me," Barrs said. "And the digital kind of hurts my eyes after a while, but I definitely see them as an advantage."
Kevin Neeland, owner of Neeland Media LLC, 918 Massachusetts St., said e-books have an advantage to regular books because they are searchable, have a dictionary and stu-
a fad, but it could be too soon to tell.
"They say something like 80 percent of all books are bought by 2 percent of the population, so it

dents can add notes right on the e-book.
KAYLA BARRS Abilene, Texas senior
Neeland Media offers about 2,000 e-books, most of which are classics and other novels. Neeland said e-book sales have increased dynamically over the past six years that his company has offered them. Neeland said he thought e-books might be more than just
might just be for the hardcore readers," Neeland said.
The devices used to read e-books often come with a hefty price tag.
Apple's iPad, which
will be released next month, will start at $499. Amazon's Kindle DX starts at $459.
Despite the initial cost, e-readers could save students money in the long run because of the high cost of textbooks.
Amazon offers many classic texts, such as Karl Marx's "The Communist Manifesto" and
Aristotle's "Politics," for free in the Kindle store. An e-textbook can cost up to a third of the price of a paper version.
The KU Bookstore stopped offering e-textbooks last semester after carrying them for three years.
Assistant director Estella McCollum said the KU Bookstore removed e-textbooks because the bookstore never sold more than 12 copies in a semester. However, the KU Bookstore plans to bring back e-textbooks next semester, she said.
"We haven't seen a demand for them at all, but we just want people to be able see what the different price options are." McCollum said.
The University Book Store has no immediate plan to start offering digital books, said manager Colby Venema.

almost a whole skull," Martin said.
Because the fish didn't have a long snout and fang-like teeth, researchers were able to distinguish the difference between it and the ancient swordfish.
"With a blunt massive head, the fish had long toothless jawbones and long gill-supporting bones that are characteristic of plankton feeding fish," Shimada said.
Skeletal fossils of ancient fish are rare because most of the animal's skeleton is made out of
cartilage and
over time,
the cartilage
disintegrates.
Martin said.
Martin and a specialist who makes castes of fossils prepared the specimen's bones to be studied.
Team member Kenshu Shimada, associate professor of environmental and biological science at DePaul University and research associate in paleontology at Fort Hays State University, said the fish was most likely surrounded by many formidable predators, such as large meateating sharks and marine lizards, but the planktivore had the ability to protect itself.
not only were they around, but they were around and important for about 100 million years," Martin said.
"I knew it was a fish we didn't know much about, and we had acquired almost a whole skull."

Martin said they would eventually have the model on display at the Natural History Museum on campus.
LARRY MARTIN paleontologist
Martin said modern, giant planktivores, such as manta rays and blue whales, are very common in today's oceans.
"They seemed to be absent in the seas of the ancient dinosaurs but now we've discovered that
" The planktoneating fish possessed well developed fore-fins equipped with a blade-like margin and a sharp point that
likely served as an effective defense system."
Martin and his team estimate the fish to be about 18 feet long — the head around three to four feet and its fins about three feet long.
"I'd be scared to swim with it even though I realized it was only eating phytoplankton," Martin said. "It's a big, spectacular animal and nobody knew it was there. It's a big deal."

No need for hang up over comment
SPOKANE, Wash. — An organizer of a weekend "tea party" gathering in eastern Washington said Thursday she was the speaker who drew applause from the crowd by calling for one of the state's Democratic U.S. senators to be hanged.
But Dianne Capps of Clarkston said her remark about Sen. Patty Murray was taken out of context, and what she meant was that Murray should be voted out of office in November.
"Nobody had a rope to hang Patty Murray,"she said.
Capps' comment Saturday at the Lewis & Clark Tea Party Patriots meeting at the county fairgrounds in Asotin, Wash., were captured by television station KLEW of Lewiston, Idaho. While speaking to the crowd from the podium, Capps said Murray should suffer the same fate as the character Jake in the western "Lonesome Dove."
"What happened to Jake when he ran with the wrong crowd?" Capps asked."He got hung. And that's what I want to do with Patty Murray."
The crowd erupted in laughter. Organizers estimated about 500 people attended the event.

Flying Tomato continues to rule
TIME TO SHINE
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
You hear the debate often. Who's the most dominant male athlete in an individual sport of the generation?
It's a two-man argument, usually. In one camp, you have Tiger Woods fans, supporting the man who may be the greatest golfer in the history of the oldest sport on the planet. In the other, you have Roger Federer devotees, supporting the man who may be the greatest tennis player in the history of the sport.
And then there's a third camp that never gets mentioned, save for maybe every four years. I'm here to represent them.
Shaun "the Flying Tomato" White is the most dominant male athlete in an individual sport in our generation. The American snowboarder, who turned 23 in September, just won his second Olympic gold medal in the half-pipe. It's an easy argument against him, because he's won at the Olympics just twice, but that's only because it's the only snowboarding contest that anyone follows.
Even taking that into account, just look at White's scores. In 2006, his 46 weight (out of 50) became the new Olympic record. In 2009 at the US Snowboarding Grand Prix, he unleashed a near perfect run, scoring a 49.5, the highest in history. Just a couple nights ago, White broke his own Olympic record, posting a 48.4 on his final lap, after already clinching it with his first.
On his first finals lap, White broke out 46.8 points, matching his 2006 score. After all the other competitors had gone twice, that score assured him of gold, but he went big on what was nothing more than a victory lap regardless.
With absolutely nothing hanging in the balance, White uncorked a Double McTwist 1260', flipping twice and completing three-and-a-half rotations in the air. Just YouTube it, It's worth your time.
"I wanted a victory lap that would be remembered," White said. "I achieved that."
*Yea, I'd like a Double McTwist 1260, a medium fry and a chocolate shake. Thanks.
"It's impossible to beat Shaun"
Piirioen said, "unless he falls"
Finland's Peetu Piiroinen, who came in second to White in this year's Olympics, summed up the Flying Tomato's dominance pretty easily.
Apart from the obligatory "well it's certainly impossible with that attitude!" joke, this quote is telling. When the man who has just been crowned second-best in the world admits that, barring a mistake on White's behalf, he can't beat him, that's when you know
Shaun White is the most dominant individual athlete in the world.

Sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor and freshman guard Xavier Henry talk as they walk off the floor following Kansas' 59-54 victory over Texas A&M Monday night. Taylor will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.
Self shuffles starting lineup
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
The Jayhaws are tired. So to put more pizzazz in the lineup, coach Bill Self is going to start sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor against Colorado Saturday.
Self's last straw came Monday at Texas A&M. Kansas was outrebounded and out-played for most of that game.
"I thought we played tired." Self said.
And in their last game against Colorado Feb. 3, the Jayhawks gasped and heeded to a 72-66 overtime victory.
The Jayhawks will get some help with a game location away from the mile-high city.
"Not being in that altitude definitely helps because you run up
and down the court twice and you're dying of air," junior center Cole Aldrich said.
The Saturday and Monday games weren't kind to the Jayhawks. Self said taking days off during the week and playing two quick games gets the team out of its rhythm and maybe this roster switch will fix that.
"My goal for Saturday is for us to play fresh and to play with great energy," Self said. "To help us out with that to start the game, I'm going back to starting Tyshawn."
Taylor has been a contributing player off the bench since Jan. 20 when Kansas played Baylor. Junior guard Brady Morningstar gave stability to the lineup and Taylor had off-the-court issues and wasn't playing with his head.
But since that benching, Taylor said he had received the message
his coach was trying to send.
I think I've been doing good things on defense and stuff like that. I'm just going to continue that as a starter."
"I think it definitely was a motivation factor just to see what he could get out of me," Taylor said.
In the past five games,
that much," Taylor said. "I haven't been doing anything amazing or spectacular but I've been doing the things he wanted me to do — the little things."
"My goal for Saturday is for us to play fresh and to play with great energy."
Taylor has committed eight turnovers but only has ten assists.
But his biggest contributions don't show up on the stat sheet. He has enough speed to chase down defenders, either setting his feet for an offensive foul or poking the ball away forcing a turnover.

"I haven't really been scoring
Taylor will start over Morningstar, who has 16 points in his last five games combined. Self said Morningstar will handle the
little things."
swap professionally and the numbers aren't why the change is happening.
"This is not a reflection of Brady playing poorly," Self said. "I just think that we have to get more out of Tyshawn moving forward to give us a chance to do what we want to do. He's got to become
one of the premier players on our team."
The way senior guard Sherron Collins sees it, there is only one difference between the two players.
"Tyshawn brings the element of speed," he said.
"I think it gives Tyshawn a confidence boost; it puts a chip back on his shoulder," Collins said. "It just felt like someone took it from him, which he brought on himself."
Collins said whether it's Morningstar or Taylor starting, the team runs the same. But in the long run, it will help Taylor learn from his mistakes and help the team in the long run.

Passing basketball inside fuels Jayhawks' success
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
twitter.com/maxrothman
Carving a zone defense's interior requires a certain passing touch.
Freshman forward Carolyn Davis has catapulted herself into the upper echelon of Big 12 post players. Junior center Krysten Boogaard has been sturdy and productive when Davis gets in foul trouble or needs a breather. Kansas has a clear plan as it visits Texas Tech at 5 p.m. on Sunday:
Freshman Forward Carolyn Davis blocks a shot attempt by Texas' Ashley Gayle in the first half. Davis contributed a career high 29 points and 5 blocks in Kansas' double overtime loss to Texas Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
"You want to be able to throw a ball that leads them into a shot and sends them into a direction where there's no traffic," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "When they're open, they've got the best chance to make a shot."
Get the ball inside and do so wisely.
It is evident that Kansas has improved its entry passing and Davis and Boogaard are the statistical beneficiaries. In February, the two have combined to shoot 71 percent. Such a high conversion rate directly correlates to the guards' improved technique in sneaking passes into crowds. Rather than relying on shooters to hopefully catch fire, Kansas prioritizes high-percentage shots in the paint, which are set up by

precision passing.
But getting Davis and Boogaard a multitude of touches happens much easier in practice than in the midst of a Big 12 showdown. Conference defenders are athletic and hungry for turnovers. So instead of lazily tossing passes inside and hoping for the best, Kansas guards do all they can to avoid predictability.

Quigley will return to play sixth season
Kansas football player Angus Quigley will return for his sixth year of eligibility after taking advantage of an NCAA waiver that permits extension of five-year eligibility under some circumstances.
The waiver of the five-year period of eligibility is designed to give student-athletes a fourth season of competition if the student-athlete has been deprived of the opportunity for more than one season due to circumstances out of his/her control.
Quigley, who switched to linebacker last season, will return as a running back under Turner Gill.
"I wasn't planning on coming back, but I love KU and I love playing football," Quigley said. "I heard about the new coaching staff and the way they were going to coach and the values they were going to instill and it interested me. I went to the first team meeting with (Gill). He is a players' coach and is respectful."
Quigley is excited about returning to his natural position at running back. He appeared in six games in 2007, rushing 17 times for 98 yards. He carried the ball 59 times for 309 yards in 11 games.
"Angus came to me in December and told me that he would like to play another year and I told him 'I would be glad to have you,'" Gill said.

MORNING BREW
Be your own bracketologist
The NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament Committee is adding a new member. And that member
is you.
You're looking at all the information about Team X, trying to determine if it deserves to be in the 64-team field.
It is ranked No. 31 in the RPL. It plays in the best conference in America and sits one game shy of a .500 conference record. Recently, it stayed with top-10 caliber teams but ultimately fell in the dying moments. Team X has one bad loss on the road by a single point.
Formulate what seed you would give Team X. Take your time,
While you're working on it, let me tell you what I would do.
I think that team is a seven seed: Dangerous for the mere fact they have played quality opponents every week in 2010. On paper, this team will dance.
Here's the problem with Team X: It lost Danielle McCray and Angel Goodrich, it's best and second-best player, to ACL injuries.
And how much does that hurt Kansas' tournament résumé, the one that looked quality enough to make the Big Dance before? Well, that's unclear.
Charlie Creme, ESPN's women's bracketologist, said the injuries will certainly be a part of Kansas' profile. The committee will evaluate how Kansas played with McCray and how it played without McCray.
"Those wins with her will be looked at with the injury in mind, certainly," Creme said. "But if they prove they can play well and win without her, it will be harder to say that those earlier wins shouldn't be given as much weight."
BYCLARK GOBLE
cgoble@kansan.com
twitter.com/clark_goble
In Creme's Feb. 15 edition of Bracketology, he placed Kansas as a 10 seed and suggested the loss of McCray could be the teams' "tournament hopes" demise". He does write that Kansas played unexpectedly well so far without McCray, but has yet to get a quality result against high-caliber teams.
Kansas will get more chances to show its merit. After a must-win game against Texas Tech Saturday, Kansas takes on four teams in the RPI top-30. That includes road visits to Baylor, an underachieving team buoyed by freshman freak Britney Griner, and Nebraska, an undefeated force.
And those who think a win is a win and a loss is a loss? Creme said how a team loses matters. Certain committee members are assigned to the Big 12 and members can glance outside of the box score.
So if Kansas falls at the buzer in Lincoln or Waco, it would still help their chances.
"Everything is looked at, including scores and how teams played, not just the results" Creme said.
Kansas likely needs two more victories to feel they have a chance and three to feel

somewhat confident, Losing to Texas Tech would steepen the climb considerably.
Nobody expected the Jayhawks to be in this position. After all, they were the coaches' preseason pick to finish second in the conference.
But they're here. And they're McCray- less.
Team X will have to prove itself to the committee.
FRIDAY YOUTURE SFSH
If you haven't seen Brittney Griner's highlights, today's the day. In a game earlier this season against Texas State, she became the second women's player ever to dunk twice in the same game.
In the game Griner also set the Baylor record for most blocks in a season. It was Baylor's 14th game.
The Jayhawks travel to Waco to take on the Bears Feb. 28, and they'll have to deal with a bear of a player in Griner down low.

Jayhawks need focus in Florida
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com
The Kansas softball team will build on last weekend's 2-3 outing as the team gets ready for another stacked field of competition at the Lipton Invitational in Gainesville, Fla. Competitors include Florida — the national runner-up last season in the NCAA Softball Tournament — as well as undefeated Marshall, East Carolina and a Campbell team that won its league last season.
"This is kind of our mantra for the season, but we want to focus on us, focus on ourselves and focus on the little things." Coach Megan Smith said. "The games we were successful in last weekend, we executed the little things extremely well in terms of fundamentals, moving runners, making routine plays and hitting our spots."
PLAYERSTO WATCH:
Smith has said that she's not measuring success this season in wins and losses, but a good showing this weekend could give the young Jayhawks momentum to help them with the rest of the season.
Outfield/pitcher Alex Jones: In her first collegiate tournament, she hit .375 and had six runs. She also pitched six scoreless innings to Sam Houston State.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
OFFENSE:
With the exception of the 10-0 Sam Houston victory, Kansas' offense last weekend looked stagnant at times. Kansas needs to look to its sluggers to give its defense some breathing room.
Pitching: Kansas gave up 13 earned runs and 18 total runs in 10 innings in the first two games last weekend. Kansas pitches need to step up big for the team to have a chance against the likes of Florida and Marshall.
Freshmen: The freshmen have already proved that they can produce plays. They need to continue their progression in order to get some wins from this weekend's competition.
"I don't think there will be a game this year that won't be tough for us. We're going to work really hard and treat every game as if it's a top level competitor"

The forwards must do their part, too. Henrickson said that the post players were obligated to properly position themselves before the guard knew who they were passing it to.
"It's the work you do before you even get the ball that gives you a chance to have a high-percentage shot," Henrickson said. "That's making and maintaining contact, the timing of your cuts and how physical you are willing to be to get a deep catch. As a post player, you have a lot of responsibility to help your guards' confidence. They're really confident when you finish."
Entry passes mold by the circumstance. When fronted by her defender, Davis favors positioning her back to the three-point
line and boxing out her defender for an uncontested lane. With her hand raised high and no one in front of her, the lob pass becomes ideal.
"The easiest way to score is when I push them up the lane as far as I can and they pass it over the defender. There's no one there once I get it," Davis said.

Henrickson has repeatedly told her team that a pass is only worth making if you can see your teammate's jersey number.

Jayhawks have accepted how important the little things can be. It may be flashing your jersey number to the point guard. It may be slightly upfaking before bouncing a pass to the paint.
"We still have a goal that we're trying to achieve," Morris said of her team's NCAA tournament dreams. "If we want to achieve it, we have to pay a little more attention to detail."

Kansas wants to improve from last weekend in Sunday's tussle at Tulsa

Jayhawks will play season opener in Minnesota
Bad weather moves games to Metrodome

"We always hate to lose home games," senior pitcher Cameron Selik said.
But because of those forecasts, that's precisely what happened. After costing the Jayhawks valuable practice time over the past few weeks, the weather also had their season opening series against Eastern Michigan in serious jeopardy.
After a slew of back and forth phone calls looking for a viable

Though one game from the originally scheduled series will be lost, the layhawks will still open their season with a doubleheader

the national accolades continue to mount for junior third baseman Tony Thompson, who has been named to the Golden Spikes award preseason Watch List by USA Baseball.
The watch list features 50 of the nation's top amateur talents, and is a "rolling" list — which means that athletes can play themselves into consideration for the Award.
Joining Thompson on the 2010 watch list are six players who finished among the
30 semifinalists for the 2009 Golden Spikes Award, as well as five other Bio 12 athletes.
The Golden Spikes Award will be presented live Tuesday, July 13, at the Major League Baseball All-Star FanFest in Anaheim, Calif. 2010 marks the 33rd year the Award will be handed out.
Thompson, a junior from Reno, Nev., was a unanimous preseason All-America selection as well as the preseason favorite for Big 12 Player of the Year. He won the conference's

Triple Crown last year, leading the league in batting average (.389), home runs (21) and RBIs (82).
It will be an uphill climb for Thompson to win the award, as he'll miss at least the first month of the season with a knee injury sustained during practice.
"We're excited to get started," Price said. "It will give us a chance to play two of the three games and give us a chance to play at game speed."
Some of the upperclassmen of the team have experienced the playing in the atmosphere of the Metrodome before, where Kansas
was forced to move a series with South Dakota State in 2007.
"It's a pretty cool park," junior pitcher Wally Marceli said. "It's an honor to play there and we're just happy to have the chance to play there and get those games in so we won't miss any."
Excitement about playing in the Major League stadium aside, the
team remains focused on starting the season off strongly.
"We still have to make sure we get these games in," Selik said. "The approach is still the same."

BIG 12
Stock Report: tracking women's basketball
BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com
The Big 12 conference is one of the toughest in the nation with seven teams ranked in the Top 20, more than any other conference. Missouri, ranked last in the Big 12, proved when it nearly beat No. 3 Nebraska, ranked first in Big 12 Feb. 13 that any team in the conference can compete well on any given day. Because of this, it is often hard to tell how a team is doing just by glancing at the conference standings. A Wall Street method offers a much more informative way to see how teams are performing.

Texas came close to suffering another defeat last week, but it survived a controversial double-overtime finish against Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. Texas will likely not be able to make a run at the Big 12 conference title because that would require Nebraska to lose more than half of its remaining games. Texas will simply be playing for position in both the Big 12 tournament and NCAA tournament.
OKLAHOMA (18-7, 8-3):

No. 11 Oklahoma let a huge upset slip through its fingers in a Feb. 15 loss to No. 1 UConn. The defeat didn't affect the Sooners' conference standings because the Huskies are members of the

close games with wins instead of losses, they could be sitting at 7-4 in conference and would be of extreme interest to potential buyers. Instead, with Kansas' next contest coming against a rejuvenated Texas Tech team, Kansas needs to be wary as it could risk falling to 5-7 in conference play. A victory could go a long way toward an NCAA tournament bid for the Jawhawks, but a loss could end their hopes entirely.

KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
Kansas is on many streaks right now. For the 16th straight season, Kansas won its 11th conference game, against Texas A&M Monday. The Jayhawks are 11-0 in the conference, 25-1 overall. The last time Kansas had such a hot start was the 1996-97 season, when the Jayhawks went 25-1 and eventually finished 34-2. Kansas puts its 56-game winning streak on the line when Colorado comes to town. In their last meeting with the Buffaloes, the Jayhawks needed overtime to win 72-66.

Taylor is also known to make mistakes and counter the good plays he makes with bad ones. What to watch for; good decision making, ability to penetrate for layups and speedy transition defense.
Will fatigue be a factor?
QUESTION MARK
Playing Saturday and Monday games offers a lot of downtime for rest, but it also makes getting out of sync a possibility. Self once gave the team two days off the week before Kansas faced Iowa State at home and played poorly. To make up for a small schedule during the week, the Jayhawks have to practice with intensity, which might be a problem if Self sticks to his desire to tone down practices. This doesn't always go as planned if he wants to work on certain areas, but he said it was a priority for the team to be fresh against Colorado.

Both Collins and Self said there was nothing wrong with the senior guard, who averaged 11 points in the last three games.

Taylor will have his first start since being benched against Baylor. He fills Brady Morningstar's spot to give the team a spark to get the game going with a speed and flash that coaches can't teach, Self said. Whether or not he keeps the position depends on how loud his wake-up call is.

In his last three games, Henry averaged 14.3 points per game, compared to just 6.2 points in the five before those. It's safe to say Henry has his shot back, and he's playing at home, where he is most dangerous. Prediction: Henry will start the Jayhawks' night with a three-pointer.
Marcus Morris, forward

As good as he's been, everyone knows what Morris will do each game: double digit points, high efficiency and rebounds bordering on double figures. He leads the Jayhawks in Big 12 play with 16.6 point per game and the conference with a .577 field goal percentage.

If anyone can take benching on this team, it's Morningstar, Self said. He creates opportunities for teammates with his ability to penetrate the defense

Higgins is having a career year, averaging more than 18 points per game. However, his role as the unquestioned best player on the Buffaloes has been jeopardized by Alex Burks recent breakthrough.

TIPOFF
ATAGLANCE
After going to overtime against in Boulder a couple weeks ago, the Jayhawks shouldn't take the Buffaloes lightly. Cory Higgins played an okay-at-best game last time out, and Colorado was without second-leading scorer Alec Burks for that game. The Buffaloes probably could have pulled off the massive upset with a healthy Burks or an on-point Higgins. Burks is back this weekend, but the home court advantage should spoil any Colorado upset. Kansas' talent goes far beyond Colorado's, especially when the benches are taken into consideration.
PLAYER TOWATCH
Alec Burks
After slipping through the cracks in the recruiting process, Burks has been a revelation for Colorado, averaging almost 17
points per game. Self saw Burks play in the Missouri State Championship his senior year - Self was scouting Bradley Beal,

Burks
now a Florida commit, at the time – and said he was good back then. Now, after growing two inches in the offseason, he's a scoring threat for the Buffs. It'll be a fun matchup between him and fellow superfrosh Xavier Henry, who seems to be back on the right track after a brief derailing.
QUESTION MARK
Can Colorado revive some of the magic from the last game?
The Buffaloes stunned the college basketball world by managing to take the No. 1 Jayhawks to overtime in Boulder. Since then, Colorado has won just one of three, while Kansas has bumped its winning streak to 11. If Colorado can hang around again, though, its confidence will continue to grow, and its chances to pull an upset will go up with every minute off the clock. If the Jayhawks can take the Buffaloes out of it early, though, Kansas should win in a rout.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
— Bill Self after the Jayhawks beat the Buffaloes in overtime Feb. 3 in Boulder
"We didn't play our best by any stretch, but if you go 18-of-38 from the line and your starting perimeter goes 8-of-26 from the field and you somehow get a win, then some guys had to make some plays. But I thought Colorado played great."

...Sherron Collins gets the Jayhawks up big early. Everyone knows their time to watch the winningest player in Kansas basketball history is slowly coming to an end at Allen Fieldhouse. What better way to spend one of his last three home games than hitting a couple threes early and putting Colorado away by halftime?
...Marcus Morris scores fewer than 15 points. Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins both aren't an automatic 15-20 points each this season. Xavier Henry is a freshman and, even though he is hitting his stride, he can't have the pressure of leading the team. The only scorer left is the consistent Morris, who scored six overtime points to beat Colorado in their last meeting.

Among those evacuated were players and staff for the Oklahoma men's basketball team, which is in town for a game against Kansas tonight at 8 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
Emergency vehicles responded to fire alarms at the Oread Hotel, 1200 Oread Ave., around midnight Monday morning.
Jozef Szendrei, Oklahoma's strength and conditioning coach, waited in the hotel lobby and watched over a canvas bag full of players' cell phones that had been turned in to him earlier in the night.
Oklahoma players waited in the Bird Dog Bar on the main floor.
While they waited, firefighters entered the building to investigate a possible fire that one employee said began in the laundry room. Emergency personnel speculated the fire was caused by the exhaust or ventilation system, but were unable to confirm the cause at the time.
Jimmy John's workers, who occupy the same building as the Oread Hotel, were also told to leave their shop briefly as emergency personnel investigated the situation.
Chase Dahnke, a Jimmy John's worker, said the store was only out of commission for about five minutes before they were able to go back to making sandwiches. The store's delivery service was halted for the evening because their drivers could not get around the surrounding fire trucks.

Brewery to expand beer distribution
Larry Kirkwood watches as his plaster body casts hung in the Art and Design Building, Kirkwood's collection, known as The Body Image Project, seeks to give people a more accurate portrayal of what bodies look like.

Beer lovers can currently find Free State brews on-tap at nine Lawrence locations, but with a new distribution deal, the company plans to expand its reach significantly. In addition to its bottling efforts, the brewery will also offer draft beer at bars in Kansas City, St. Louis and other Missouri locations starting early March.
Collin Johnson/KANSAN
Magerl said the initial four varieties of bottled beers, and the company's Stormwatch IPA, would be those made available on-tap in Kansas City and St.
The bottling operation was initially delayed last April by a fire at the company's bottling plant, but the brewery has bounced back and is now set to shelve its product.
Lawrence's downtown brewery will no longer ask its customers to lag a "growler" or haul a keg to their front doors in order to drink award-winning beer at home. Free State Brewing Co. anticipates beginning bottle distribution to Kansas and Missouri vendors sometime this April.
"We'll be featuring Ad Astra Ale, Wheat State Golden, Oatmeal Stout and Copperhead Pale Ale," Magerl said.
Free State Brewery owner Chuck Magerl said the company would start with a simple bottle variety and later bottle a series of seasonal beers and limited edition specialty beers.
Case for the imperfect body
Artist speaks about body casts and self image

Kirkwood, a KU graduate from Kansas City, Mo., has made plaster body casts from neck to groin of more than 500 people in the last 17 years, each with its own story of being too big, too small or too average in regards to today's concept of beauty.
Artist Larry Kirkwood doesn't think size matters. He knows it does.
And when it comes to body image issues, women aren't the only subjects who go into a panic when looking at their cast.
"Guys are freaked about their penis," he said. "I can't tell you how many guys have asked me to put a little more plaster down there. They're just as tripped on out this stuff as women, and that's why it needs to be looked at as a human thing, not a gender thing."
His collection of casts, called The Body Image Project, aims to give a more honest representation
of the human body than what's found in the media. Kirkwood said he wants people to be able to see what they really look like without being hirrified.
Kirkwood's exhibition and lecture are a part of the University's
"When all this advertising and everything gets into our
subconscious, we don't even realize that we have certain prejudices against things," he said. "The reality is we all have six-pack abs, it's just under a little fat on some of us."

Archaeologists find early 8-sided house
The ruins were found last fall on the banks of the May River in the southern coastal town of Bluffton. A letter written in 1796 by a visitor mentions the octagonal house and helps date the structure.
BLUFFTON, S.C. — South Carolina archaeologists believe they might have unearthed the first octagonal house in the United States.
Archaeologists Heather Cline and Mary Socci say the 900-square-foot house was owned by Scottish immigrant
William McKimmy and was built about 1790.
The director of archaeological restoration at Poplar Forest says he questions whether the find in South Carolina is a full-size home
That would mean the home predates Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest. That home was built in the 1820s near Lynchburg, Va., and is considered to be the first octagonal house in the U.S.
Woman discovers check from 1970s
LAUDERHILL, Fla. — An 85-year-old South Florida woman who went looking for a photo of her ex-husband says she found
a 517,500 insurance claim check from 1978 instead. Barbara Cosgrove found the check, dated Jan. 23, 1978, in an unopened envelope inside a nightstand drawer at her Lauderhill home. She said she doesn't know why she hadn't found the check sooner and had looked inside the drawer "a thousand times" before the discovery.
Cosgrove saids the check stems from an accident that occurred under the Brooklyn Bridge in 1976. A tarp filled with rainwater fell 200 feet onto her car, damaging the vehicle.
It's unclear if Cosgrove can claim the money from the check, which was issued by an insurance company that has been declared insolvent and liquidated.
City sends woman massive water bill
MINNEAPOLIS — A Minneapolis woman has received a $1,600 water bill, a bill the city believes is accurate even though it's 20 times the woman's usual bill. Erica Kocur said her bill is generally $70 to $80 per month. She said her "heart just dropped" when she got her latest bill. The city said she must have a running toilet or dripping faucet.
But KSTP-TV said the bill is charging for almost 200,000 gallons of water. That's three times the volume of her entire home. A shower would have to run nonstop for almost two months
to use that much water.
The city's director of treasury is LeeAnn Stagg. She said the city believes the bill is accurate,but the city will check Kocur's meter one more time.
No charges filed in branding incident
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. — Breck enridge authorities said a Texas Christian University student who suffered burns when his peers branded his buttocks participated in the act willingly and no charges will be filed.
Authorities said Thursday they made the decision not to pursue charges after reviewing statements from Amon Carter IV and a dozen TCU students. The Summit Daily News reported that Carter had Greek symbols from his fraternity and a sorority branded on his buttocks Jan. 8 during a trip to Breckenridge and needed surgery after suffering second-and third-degree burns.
Investigators said what happened was not part of a fraternity initiation because Carter was already a group member.
Carter is the great-grandson of Amon G. Carter, Sr., who founded the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

BODY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Eating, HOMEBASE, in recognition of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.
Today, Kirkwood will speak to more than 300 students and guests in a Personal and Community Health class at 8 a.m. in Room 120 of Budig Hall. His lecture will deal with prejudices against sex, race, age and judgments about weight and height.
Although he said that about 75 percent of his casts include University students and professors, Kirkwood has had many requests from people who felt their experiences with body image perception spoke to the message of the project.
One: a woman whose silicon breast implants burst, soaked into her chest, leaving nothing but two craters.
Another: a woman often told how lucky she was to have the perfect body, who in reality was dying
from brain cancer that had spread throughout her midsection at the time Kirkwood made her cast.
"When you look at a body cast you might say it's pretty or ugly by its shape and form," he said. "But the point is, that you can't make moral judgments on just shape and form, they don't tell you a thing about who that person is."
Kirkwood and others contend that the media and the flourishing industries in beauty and weight-loss set unrealistic definitions of beauty and normality for consumers.
"We're trying to promote avoiding the media and the way it defines how people should be seen," said Julia Morgan, president of HOMEBASE. "You should appreciate your body for what it is, and not for what it's not."
Susie Roman of the National Eating Disorders Association said current research estimates the average person is exposed to around 3,000 advertisements a day.
"While not every single person is vulnerable to detrimental media effects, negative effects do occur in the clear majority of adolescent girls and women."
and women,
she said.
But, it's not just women who are subjected to unrealistic expectations.
R o m a n said that although they are less likely to acknowledge it, men
are increasingly at risk of developing the same eating disorders as women.
and on college campuses," said Ann Chapman, a dietitian at the Student Health Center in Watkins.
"We're trying to promote avoiding the media and the way it defines how people should be seen."
"We are seeing a lot more eating disorders with men nationally

mia, but are just as prone to binge eating disorders as women.
Chapman said more men are abusing steroids and supplements to try and sculpt the "perfect body," sometimes leading to muscle dysmorphia, or Bigorexia, a disorder that leads an individual to believe
his or her muscles are never quite big, enough. Roman said the NEDA views the condition as a mental disorder in the same category of anorexia and bulimia.
Kirkwood said that half the men who have contacted his website were from eating disorder clinics.
"Male vanity is about a $9 billion industry now, so it's like we've saturated the women and made them paranoid and scared, now we can go after the guys," he said.
Kirkwood said he brings his show to colleges not only because students are more susceptible to the pressures society sets, but also because they'll be the future CEOs of the same corporations that rake in billions of dollars each year by applying those pressures today.
"Making you hate yourself is a real lucrative field," he said. "These companies insult the shit out of us, and we still run up and throw them our money. Somehow, folks today just haven't figured that out."

moved on;" said Patti McCormick, director of media for the hotel.
When asked for details about the cleaning process, including equipment used and cost, McCormick had no comment.
Though no official measurement of the graffiti was available, it was estimated to be about five feet tall and somewhere between 30 and 40 feet across.
"I'd probably charge about
$3,500 to clean that up," said David Jensen, owner of Inside-Out Painting Service.
Although McCormick wouldn't comment on how the paint was cleaned off, a YouTube video from KMBC News shows a man cleaning the graffiti off with a hose. Jensen said this fit the description of the equipment he would have used.
No one has claimed responsibility for the vandalism, and there are no new developments in the investigation, according to Sergeant Michael Monroe of the Lawrence Police Department.
ARMED ROBBERY UPDATE
Monroe said that there are also no new developments in the investigation into the armed robbery that occurred just off campus last Tuesday night.
with the conspiracy to manufacture, distribute and possess with the intent to distribute, more than 50 grams of methamphetamines.
If found guilty, the men would face between 10 years to life in prison along with a fine of up to $4 million.
METH RAID
After two-day raid on a home just east of Lawrence, three men were charged with meth trafficking, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Donald Milton Steele, Randy J Dyke and Anthony Wayne Sims, all of Lawrence, were charged

Louis establishments. No word has yet been released on the specific bars in Kansas City that will carry the company's beers on-tap.
Hatti Pringle, a graduate student in Social Welfare from Wichita, said she was happy to see the brewery increase its product reach across the state border.
"I'm excited that a little piece of Lawrence is going to be found in Kansas City", Pringle said.
On The Rocks liquor store, 1818 Massachusetts St., as well as Mass Beverage, 3131 Nieder Rd, will both carry Free State Brewing Co. bottles when they hit the market in April.
"It's going to be one of our top-shelf beers," said Ryan Shaughnessy, manager of On the Rocks. "The six packs will probably go for somewhere between $7 and $9."
Although local support seems strong for the plan, it is still a risk for Magerl. Free State Brewing Co. has stuck to its staple in-house dining and drinking setup for more than two decades, securing a spot on the beverage palates of locals, but not seriously investing in regional appeal.
The brewery owner said he hoped to eventually expand distribution to Nebraska and Iowa, but for now is focused on Kansas and Missouri growth and the essentials of his profession.
CAMPUS
"If we're successful in the bottling efforts, it will allow us to continue to make a living doing something we love, engaged in the science and craft of brewing." Magerl said.

Changes proposed to academic calendar
The committee tried to solve several problems with the current academic calendar, said Megan Ritter, a member of the calendar committee. One problem with the current calendar is that Tuesday/Thursday classes are at a disadvantage during breaks. For instance, during Fall Break, students attend both classes if they're on Monday/Wednesday but miss one of their Tuesday/Thursday classes. This prompted the proposed change to Fall Break, she said. The committee also discussed the possibility of eliminating stop day. Instead of a Stop Day, some faculty proposed a "quiet week" — with no classes Monday through Thursday and finals starting on a Friday.

Students may see changes to the academic calendar for the 2011-2012 school year.
The University Senate calendar committee proposed changes to the academic calendar after the Board of Regents reduced the number of required instructional days from 150 to 146, John Stratton, president of University Senate, said.
- Mary Kate McWhirter, a junior from Overland Park, said she supported the proposed changes.
  "I always thought it was weird that we started the semester with two days then bad Martin Luther King Jr. day off," she said.
Under the new proposal, both fall and spring semesters will have 73 instructional days. The spring semester would begin after Martin Luther King Jr. day in January, and Fall Break would move from a Thursday and Friday to a Monday and Tuesday during the month of October. Winter Break would also be extended, according to the calendar committee report.

STUDENT LIFE
Law restricts young people's use of credit cards
BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com
Getting a credit card just became more difficult for students.
As of today, individuals younger than 21 will not be able get a credit card without a co-signer or proof of significant income to pay off the card, and even that will be determined by an application process through credit card companies.
"Legislature doesn't want people to get into trouble," said Robert DeYoung, Capitol Federal professor in the School of Business. "This might mean students learn the lessons later on in life."
The new restrictions might have helped Justin Kelly, a freshman from Garden City, had they passed earlier this year.
Kelly's experience with credit cards began in August, when his mother granted the use of a credit card for emergencies only. That quickly changed.
"I would go out to get food and not have my debit card," Kelly said. "Then I would just charge it on my phone."
credit card. The unnecessary trips to McDonald's and Taco Bell added up."
After paying off a maxed-out credit card multiple times, Kelly said he didn't think having a credit card in his wallet was a good idea. He said he didn't know enough about a credit card and its financial responsibilities.
He said his mom would tell him to watch his spending, but she couldn't make the final decisions — she wasn't a co-signer.
"It would have been a good idea if I would have matured a little more," Kelly said. "I think it is a good idea to wait."
Along with the laws to limit the young age group, the Credit Card Act signed by President Barack Obama in May removes tempting credit card offers from college campuses.
Gone are the days of handing out free T-shirts when a student signs up for a card — the law bans this within 1,000 feet of campus. In addition, one no one 21 will pull any prescreened credit card

Educational charges were made by 92 percent of undergraduate credit cardholders.

84 percent of undergraduates said they needed more financial education.
Chris Novosel, a freshman from Colombia, Mo., signed up for his credit card in late July, not for emergencies or fourth meals, but as a step toward his future.

Although credit cards have become notorious money traps for the inexperienced, the two-by-four inch plastic cards can help out in the big picture, if managed correctly.

However, some parents are hesitant to co-sign for a credit card and
prefer the debit card.
Hannah Holtorf, a sophomore from Overland Park, said she just didn't know enough to own a credit card. Because her mother agreed, Holtorf pays with her debit card instead.
"I think my mom wanted to make sure I didn't get into any trouble with one," she said.

After months of preparation, KU engineering students from more than 20 student organizations finally saw their reward Saturday in the faces of more than 1,200 students from around the state.
The students gathered in Learned and Eaton halls Friday and Saturday for the annual two-day Engineering EXPO.
The expo is an opportunity for the University's engineering students to share their passion for science and discovery with elementary through high school-aged kids from Kansas schools. Displays ranged from a space shuttle simulator to a DNA extraction activity.
Emily Hrenchir, a freshman from Paola, helped with a couple of organizations' demonstrations during the expo in the biomedical and chemical engineering rooms. She said the kids seemed excited about
from corporations.
what they were learning from the displays and demonstrations.
"They get to learn things in a hands-on manner instead of learning it through textbooks." Hrench said.

student organizations have been preparing their displays, demonstrations and design competitions for the expo for months.
Colin Davidson, a junior from Overland Park and co-coordinator of the expo, said the preparation started with the election of the event coordinators in the spring. Then the coordinators chose the theme and started seeking funding

Davidson said this year's theme, "Where in the World," was chosen to show the global nature of engineering.
"One thing we really wanted to highlight this year was the multicultural aspect of engineering and the international impact that engineering can have," Davidson said.
While many aspects of the expo were designed to entertain the kids, some organizations tried to convey some of the more serious social impacts engineering can have.

Sonny Hong, a junior from Garden City, said he hoped that kids saw the fun things they could do with science and that they would be motivated to make a difference.
"What I like about the expo is that it's about getting kids to open their minds," Hong said. "Usually they just see what's in the media, like sports figures and movie stars. Here they can see there are opportunities in science."
Stephanie Claar, a sophomore from Overland Park who volunteered with the Biomedical Engineering Society, said the kids who came through her room during the expo were excited about using microscopes to view their DNA and building DNA models.
"I think they like the interactive stuff they can do." Clear said.

Yearbooks lose popularity
BY ZINIE CHEN SAMPSON
RICHMOND, Va. — For the first time since 1887, students at the University of Virginia won't have a hardcover memento of their college years. The school founded by Thomas Jefferson has become the latest college to decide there's no place for the traditional yearbook in the age of Facebook.
The student publishers of "Corks and Curls" decided to scrap this year's edition because they didn't have the money — an edition can cost more than $100,000.
The Charlottesville university joins schools such as Purdue, Mississippi State and Old Dominion that no longer
— or the student demand. Student apathy and the financial realities of publishing makes the chance of reviving it slim, editor Michelle Burch said.
publish yearbooks as more students share memories through social-networking Web sites.
"You have campuses now where students are less connected to the campus itself, and are not participating in the traditional types of activities," said Logan Aimone, executive director of Associated Collegiate Press, a Minneapolis-based organization that advises student media outlets.

estimates about 1,000 colleges still publish yearbooks. Sullivan estimates that 15 years ago there were about 2,400.
"People are getting more accustomed to instant documentation, but what they're losing is permanent documentation."
College yearbooks started to fall out of favor during the 1970s as many students lost interest, said Edmund Sullivan, executive director of Columbia Scholastic Press Association, based at Columbia University. Now, yearbooks are losing ground again.
A survey conducted by yearbook publisher Jostens last year
The demise of "Corks and Curls" marks the end of a publication first issued in 1888 by fraternity members at what was then an all-male school. The publication's name harkened back to early traditions at the school. According to the university's Web site, a student who flubbed a question in class was said to have "corked." However, "if he answered with a grand flourish of pertinent information, he was said to have 'curled.'"

INTERNATIONAL
Obama statue sparks controversy
BY ROD MCGUIRK
Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia — A statue of Barack Obama as a boy was placed late Sunday night at the Jakarta elementary school the U.S. president once attended, after its display in a public park prompted backlash in the Indonesia capital.
The re-placement of the bronze statue a week after it disappeared from public view was a low-key event officiated by the school's principal and three local education officials. Scores of proud students had been among the crowd of 500 watching when Jakarta's mayor unveiled the statue in the nearby park in December.
The likeness based on a childhood photograph shows a 10-year-old Obama smiling at a butterfly perched on his outstretched thumb.
School officials install the statue of U.S. President Barack Obama as a boy in Jakarta late Sunday night. It was originally displayed in a public park but backlash in the Indonesia capital prompted relocation.
Many Indonesians are proud of Obama's connections to Indonesia, but detractors of the statue's park display argued an Indonesia hero should be honored instead. A Facebook campaign attracted more than 50,000 supporters of the statue's removal, and court action was initiated to force it.
The late night schedule was aimed at finishing before almost 500 students arrive for school Monday, not an attempt to keep a low profile, said the main fundraiser for the statue, Ron Mullers. The statue's removal from the park also was done on a Sunday night.
Mullers accused them of politicizing a statue meant to inspire Indonesian children to follow their dreams.
"This is a statue of boy named Little Barry who went to this school; it's not President Obama," Mullers said.
Opponents had mixed feelings about the statue's new position at Menteng 1 Elementary School where it remains clearly visible from the street through a front gate.
Heru Nugroho, leader of the Facebook campaign to remove the
statue, he was "not happy" but declined to comment further.
Another opponent involved in the court action, Yenni Rosa Damayanti, said she was satisfied that the statue was no longer in a public park.
"We should not erect statues of other countries' presidents in public parks when so many of Indonesia's heroes are not immortalized," she said. She added that she didn't mind the new location because the school had history with Obama.
Central Jakarta Education Office head Zainal Soleman and Vice Principal Sollkhin, who goes by one name, helped three laborers set the statue in its wet concrete base.
Soleman said it was welcomed by the school. "It will inspire and motivate the children every day," he said.
Obama, whose America. mother married an Indonesian after divorcing his Kenyan father, went to school in the capital from 1967 to 1971.

Mennonite school will start playing national anthem
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GOSHEN, Ind. — For more than a century, there was no playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Goshen College — a small Christian college with ties to the Mennonite Church.
That's about to change. For the first time in the school's history, Goshen College will play an instrumental version of the national anthem before many campus sporting events.
The decision to reverse the ban on the anthem is aimed at making students and visitors outside the faith feel more welcome, but it has roiled some at the 1,000-student college who feel the song undermines the church's pacifist message and puts love for county above love for God.
Since college President Jim Brenneman announced the decision in January, about 900 people have joined the Facebook group "Against Goshen College Playing National Anthem," hundreds have signed an online petition protesting the move and letters sent to administrators and the campus newspaper have overwhelmingly voiced opposition to the change.
"We're very aware that not everyone on our campus that's part of this community shares the same views," said college spokeswoman Jodi Beeyler.
John Roth, a Goshen College history professor, said Mennonites have historically avoided the song because its lyrics describe using war and military might to defend the country.
"The link between the national anthem and the military identity of the nation is made very explicit," Roth said.
Mennonites, whose church is rooted in a 16th-century movement in Europe known as Anabaptism, also believe singing a "hymn of allegiance" like the national anthem implies a deeper loyalty to country rather than to God, Roth said. However, Mennonite Church USA — which represents the largest and most mainstream group of Mennonites in the U.S. — does not specifically prohibit the anthem.
en Goshen Go
Goshen College officials say discussions about whether to change the policy began in September 2008 when the athletic department asked Brenneman to reconsider the school's stance.
Freshman baseball player Mike Milligan, a Catholic, says students and athletes can choose how much they want to participate. About 45 percent of Goshen students are not Monmonite.
"I don't think that everyone has to show their respect, but we need to at least have the choice to show our respect," said Milligan.
Basketball players at Goshen College say a prayer before the tipoff of their game with Spring Arbor University, Saturday in Goshen, Ind. Prior to athletic events "The Star-Spangled Banner" is not played at home games. That will change this spring, when the private Christian college rooted in Mennonite tradition plans to play an instrumental version of the national anthem before many campus sporting events for the first time in its 116-year history.

Feds pledge funds for lakes
Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson, left, makes a statement Sunday to unveil President Barack Obama's Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Action Plan. The plan would spend more than $2.2 billion for repairs to the lakes.
ENVIRONMENT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — The Obama administration has developed a five-year blueprint for rescuing the Great Lakes, a sprawling ecosystem plagued by toxic contamination, shrinking wildlife habitat and invasive species.
The plan envisions spending more than $2.2 billion for long-awaited repairs after a century of damage to the lakes, which hold 20 percent of the world's fresh water. "We're committed to creating a new standard of care that will leave the Great Lakes better for the next generation," Jackson said in a statement.
Among the goals is a "zero tolerance policy" toward future invasions by foreign species, including the Asian carp, a huge, ravenous fish that has overrun portions of the Mississippi River system and is threatening to enter Lake Michigan.
Others include cleanup of the region's most heavily polluted sites, restoring wetlands and other crucial habitat, and improving water quality in shallow areas, where run-off from cities and farms has led to unsightly algae blooms and beach closings.
Also promised is a strategy for monitoring the ecosystem's health and holding federal agencies accountable for carrying out the plan.
During his 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama pledged $5 billion over a decade toward fulfilling a Great Lakes cleanup wish list developed by a coalition of agencies, scientists and activists.
Congress last year approved his request for a first installment of $475 million. The newly released plan assumes yearly appropriations of the same amount through 2014, except for the $300 million Obama
requested this month in his 2011 budget.
The 41-page plan sets out ecological targets and specific actions to be taken by 16 federal agencies working with state, local and tribal governments and private groups.
Among the goals it hopes to achieve by 2014: finishing work at five toxic hot spots that have languished on cleanup lists for two decades; a 40 percent reduction in the rate at which invasive species are discovered in the lakes; measurable decreases in phosphorus runoff; and protection of nearly 100,000 wetland acres.
It also will help save species such as the lake sturgeon, a prehistoric fish that can reach 8 feet long and 200 pounds but is endangered because of overharvesting and habitat degradation. The plan promises to provide 25,000 young sturgeon for stocking programs.
Officials said the plan — combined with enforcement of existing environmental rules and the creation of new ones where needed — would help make Great Lakes fish
safe to eat, their waters suitable for drinking and swimming, and their native plants and animals thriving.
The lakes provide drinking water to more than 30 million people and are the backbone of a regional economy dependent on tourism, outdoor recreation, shipping and manufacturing.
"We now have a golden opportunity, even a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to make huge progress," Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle, co-chairman of the Council of Great Lakes Governors, said in a telephone interview Saturday. "We've been talking about this for a long time. Now the federal government is putting some real resources behind it."
Jeff Skelding, director of the Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition, which represents environmental groups across the region, praised the plan's commitment to long-range funding for the restoration but said Congress should boost Obama's 2011 spending request to $475 million.

Two men charged in church fires
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TYLER, Texas — Two men who once attended church together were charged Sunday with intentionally burning down a church in east Texas and are suspected in a string of similar blazes, authorities said.
Jason Robert Bourque, 19,
and 21-year-old Daniel George
McAllister face one count of felony
arson for a church fire in
rural Smith County near Tyler,
about 90 miles east of Dallas,
said Tom Crowley, spokesman for
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives.
Bond is set at $10 million apiece. They could face life in prison if convicted.
"Because they are charged with one doesn't mean they're not going to be charged with some of the others," Crowley said.
Crowley and Smith County jail officials said they had no information on attorneys for either men.
Bourque, of nearby Lindale, was arrested early Sunday in Van Zandt County, site of four of 10
church fires in east Texas this year that authorities believe were intentionally set, Crowley said.
McAllister was taken into custody in San Antonio, where Crowley said he had recently moved.
He said Bourque and McAllister used to attend First Baptist Church in McAllister's.
in Merkinser's hometown of Ben Wheeler.
The arrests were triggered by a telephone tip, although the suspects had been on the radar for several weeks, Crowley said.
Crowley said another New Year's Day fire not far away has been added to the list of 10 suspected arsons in east Texas. A fire in the central Texas town of Temple, brings to 11 the statewide total of fires authorities believe are attributable to arson.

Authorities have said the federal investigation began after two churches burned Jan.11 in Athens, Texas.
One of the men was linked to the fire with DNA evidence, Crowley said. He said he had no other details on the DNA.
Officials declined to discuss a motive at a news conference Sunday. No injuries have been reported in the fires.
The outbreak started with a blaze at a church in Athens, and
ed in charges against Bourque and McAllister.
There were attempted break-ins at three churches in Tyler in early February, but those buildings were not burned, the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a statement.

Austin plane crash victim identified
AUSTIN, Texas — A long-time Internal Revenue Service employee died this week when a pilot harboring a grudge against the agency flew his plane into a building in Austin, Texas, his family said Saturday.
Authorities investigating the crash have positively identified the remains of Vernon Hunter, 68, said family spokesman Larry
McDonald. Hunter had been missing and presumed dead since Thursday, when software engineer Andrew Joseph Stack III slammed his plane into the building where Hunter worked as a manager for the IRS.
Hunter's son Ken said he assumed the worst after not hearing from his father within an hour of the crash, which set fire to the black-glass building that houses offices where nearly 200 IRS employees work. Stack was
the only other person to die in the crash, which also injured 13.
Stack, 53, apparently targeted the lower floors of the building which houses offices where nearly 200 IRS employees work. He lashed out at the agency in a ranting manifesto posted on a website shortly before Thursday's attack, claiming the government and the tax code robbed him of his savings and derailed his career.

Dalai Lama meets Obama
The priest doesn't fault Obama for low-key reception
BY GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - The Dalai Lama says he doesn't fault President Obama for his low-key reception in Washington because he recognizes that the president must juggle ties to the Tibetan spiritual leader with concerns about angering China.
The Dalai Lama told The Associated Press he understands that Obama must be practical in exercising his commitment to human rights worldwide.
"No disappointment. The last six decades my heart hardened. I do not consider important political gestures. I don't care. The important is meet face-to-face," said the Dalai Lama, who was sometimes assisted by a translator.
"With President Clinton, the first meeting was a 'drop-in,'" he said. "People asked me the same question (then). I don't care."
The Dalai Lama made the remarks while in Los Angeles to support Whole Child International, an organization that advocates better care for orphans worldwide.
Obama hosted the Dalai Lama on Thursday in Washington, D.C., but kept the get-together off-camera and low-key in an attempt to avoid inflaming tensions with China.
Revered in much of the world, the Dalai Lama is seen by Beijing as a separatist seeking to overthrow Chinese rule of Tibet. Though he says that is untrue,
China regards any official foreign leader's contact with the Buddhist monk as an infringement on its sovereignty over the mountainous region and as a particularly unwelcome snub.
"You should develop cordial, close relations mainly in the economic field. "
"You should develop cordial, close relations, mainly in the economic field at the same time (as) your principles, these universal values of democracy and rule of law," he said, as he sat in an armchair in his hotel suite, with his bare feet tucked under him. "In these principles, you should stand firm."
The Tibetan spiritual leader
Meetings between the Dalai Lama and U.S. presidents became standard nearly 20 years ago, but they are always delicately choreographed and scrutinized because of China's sensitivity.
THE DALAI LAMA Buddhist leader
This time, China had urged Obama not to meet with the 75-year-old spiritual leader, saying the visit "seriously harms U.S.-China relations."
The Dalai Lama said Saturday it is crucial for the U.S. to develop an economic relationship with China without forgoing America's founding principles.
also briefly addressed the Tiger Woods scandal and the golf star's public comments Friday about straying from his Buddhist faith. Woods said he was raised
Buddhist but needed to loc anew on finding balance between his faith and professional life.
The Dalai Lama said he did not know who Woods was, but said self-discipline is among Buddhism's highest values.
When it comes to adultery, he said, "all religions have the same idea."
The Dalai Lama is seen during an interview with the Associated Press as a member of the security detail stands in the background during a visit to Southern California, in Beverly Hills, Calif., Saturday. The Dalai Lama was in los Angeles to advocate for better care for international orphans.

Train kills 3 teens in Florida
BY MIKE SCHNEIDER
Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Fla. — Three teenage girls were joking around and taking pictures on a narrow bridge when they were hit by a train, killing them as a friend watched helplessly, police and a witness said Sunday.
The girls and the fourth teenager, a boy, had been hanging out in Melbourne's downtown area — known for its shops and night-clubs — when they decided to cross the trestle around 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Lt. Curtis Barger said. Their parents had dropped them off at a mall, and then they took a bus downtown where they were "just goofing off," he said.
"You know how kids are," Dumas said. "They probably wanted pictures of themselves on the track."
The boy yelled for the girls to

Graffiti with the words "more love," with the "o" in the shape of a heart was on the bridge. Andy Ziegler, a member of the Brevard County school board, said teens have painted graffiti on the bridge for the past three decades, but he had never before heard of an accident there.
John Vallee, 54, lives near the trestle and was watching TV when he heard a loud screech. He told the Florida Today newspaper he went outside and first thought he saw a blanket tangled under a rail car. Then he realized it was a person.
"It's going to be hard for me to get to sleep," Vallee told Florida Today. "I can't get it out of my mind."

Health care drama headed to daytime
WASHINGTON — Coming soon to daytime television: America's long-running civic drama over how to provide better health care to more of its people without breaking the bank.
President Barack Obama summons anxious Democrats and aloof Republicans to a White House summit Thursday — live on C-SPAN and perhaps cable — and gambles that he can save his embattled health care overhaul by the power of persuasion. Adversaries and allies alike were surprised by Obama's invitation
Ahead of the meeting, the White House will post on its website a health care plan that brings together major elements of the bills passed by House and Senate Democrats last year.

CHICAGO — Some 152 million people have watched at least part of the Vancouver Olympics during the first seven days of the games, and the telecasts have had the most average viewers since the 1994
Winter Games, NBC Sports said Friday.
On Thursday, Olympic broadcasts on NBC Universal networks were seen by 77 million viewers, 14 million more than the first Thursday from the 2006 Games. NBC was able to top Fox's "American Idol" Wednesday night and beat the perennial No. 1 show on television by 30 percent among the coveted 18-49 demographic.
An average of 26.6 million viewers have watched the Vancouver Games through the first seven nights, the most since CBS drew 37.5 million for the opening week of the Lillehammer Games 16 years ago when many viewers flocked to their sets to watch the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan saga unfold.

Continue standing up to City for human rights
EDITORIAL
Despite a large citizen turnout last week, the Human Relations Commission of the Lawrence City Council voted 4-to-3 against reconsidering its previous vote to keep gender identity and expression out of the city's antidiscrimination code.
In voting against this, four committee members were also voting against civil rights that all humans deserve. The transgender community is not asking for special privileges or preferential treatment. They are just demanding what all citizens are guaranteed: equal protection under the law.
Currently, it is legal in Lawrence to fire or evict someone because of his or her gender identity. This discrimination was supported at the meeting by a large number of religious zealots who openly declared that those in the transgender community are "unnatural sexual predators." Other arguments against this antidiscrimination law included "it would cause mass confusion" and "God had standards when he created Adam and Eve."
These are outlandish, ridiculous, hateful statements that have no merit. These
This item is currently scheduled to appear on the City Commission's consent agenda, which means it will not be debated before passing through.
Every person in Lawrence who cares about human rights should let each of the five city commissioners know that they do not agree with the committee's decision. Tell the commissioners to take this issue off the consent agenda.
However, this horrible act of oppression and prejudice can produce galvanizing progress if students and community members mobilize to fight.
This issue is too important and controversial to not be debated in front of the full commission. These vicious attacks against Lawrence's transgender community cannot stand. Hope can only triumph over hate if people shout truth in the faces of those working against it.

Super Bowl advertisements perpetuate gender stereotypes
During the Super Bowl, a decidedly macho event, several commercials either showed men of a more metrosexual nature or as severely henpecked. And, of course, there can't be a henpecked husband without a henpecking wife. More than the stereotypes themselves, it's the complaints generated by these commercials that reveal the most prominent gender issues of today.
Some feminists take issue with the stereotype of the nagging wife. I agree that it isn't flattering, and is often overdone. But I also think there's something wrong when we can't recognize and laugh at our own flaws. Certainly not all wives are overbearing, but some are some of the time.
If we want real equality, women need to be allowed to be traditional or progressive, happy or sad, mean or nice. While some may not have found the humor in the heppecking commercials, I don't think it's fair to expect women to always be portrayed as perfect.
On the other side of the equation is the apparent ambiguity about the American male image. Is the "American man" a tough guy that puts his foot down when it comes to beer and trucks? Or is he
Sex and Sensibility
MICHELLE MARRAGAN
Just as women have been pursuing recognition of their more professional and business-oriented sides, men are starting to publicly explore their more sensitive sides. Although I have trouble viewing men as "opressed," I do recognize that they are just as tied to social expectations as women are. So what's the explanation behind advertisements suddenly starting to explore less traditional male roles, especially during the largest sporting event of the year?
a more sensitive, cultured man who uses moisturizer? Or is he simply a spineless wimp at the mercy of his girlfriend?
Some professionals think it has to do with the economy. More men are staying home without jobs and feeling a little insecure. It's easier for them to feel better when they see other men struggling, too.

Others point to the modern
demographics of the Super Bowl. The audience is now split almost down the middle between men and women. Advertisers no longer have the luxury of catering to a particular kind of viewer. As such, the messages and themes in their commercials tend to be a little less clear-cut. That's wonderful because, even if it's still imperfect, it's another step toward equality in the sports arena.
The KU athletics department not only strives towards that ideal, it's even a little ahead of the curve. There are actually more women's sports at KU than men's, and female fans are encouraged to get involved. Women regularly show up in bleacher photos of big games, and the Union's free game schwag is pretty unisex.
There's still no women's football team but, considering how male-centric sports, especially collegiate sports, have been in the past, KU's embracement of women is another reason I'm proud to be a Jawhawk.
Maybe next year, the Super Bowl advertisers could take a page out of our book.

HUMOR
Worthy weekends
Monday morning is generally recognized as the worst time of the week for a KU student, except for one redeeming quality: the golden opportunity for students to share their elaborate stories entitled "The Incredibly Awesome Things I Did This Weekend That You Totally Won't Believe"
Though weekends may be a great opportunity to relax and unwind, Monday morning is all about having the best stories to tell. Besides selecting the correct style of North Face jacket, a totally awesome weekend story is probably the most crucial part of a KU student's popularity.
If a KU student's weekend story simply consists of some beer pong and a "crazy awesome party," then he or she shouldn't even bother insulting a fellow student by forcing them to listen to it. That's just weak. That's a Weak-Sauce Weekend.
Make no mistake: Monday morning storytelling is a bitter competition and not everyone can win it. So, to aid in creating a perfect weekend story, I've created an official "Wicked-Awesome Weekend Story Points System" to judge any KU student's weekend. The more points a story earns, the more wicked-awesome it is:
1. Receiving a black eye from a fight: 5 points
2. Receiving a black eye from a fight with Baby Jay. 20 points
4. Getting arrested for Driving While Intoxicated: 10 points
5. Getting arrested for driving a Vespa off of a ramp into Potter's Lake: 15 points
6. Convincing a group of party-goers that you are an Eastern European foreign international student by performing a completely made-up rendition of the Lithuanian national anthem: 15 points
7. Consuming a massive amount of Totinos products: 5 points per every 10 ounces ingested
Stuff KU Students Like
JEFFREY BARNARD
BY JOEL PETTERSON
10. Drunkenly dancing on a table: 5 points
9. Convincing a member of the opposite sex that you are a member of the cast of "jersey Shore:" 5 points
8. Using an entire student loan to purchase a Taco Bell franchise: 100 points (Disclaimer: While this is a buttload of points, it's still not really worth it.)
12. Commandeering a Satebus for an entire night: 30 points
11. Drunkenly dancing an entire Riverdance routine on a table: 25 points
13. Partying with White Owl: 10 points
14. Partying with Bill Self: 20 points
15. Partying with Taylor Swift: 1,000,000 points. (If Taylor Swift comes to your party, you will never need another weekend story for the rest of your life.)
If a story does not earn at least 30 points on this scale, it's not worth wasting your breath on Monday morning. If it doesn't earn 15 points it's not even worth a Facebook status update.
It's also a good idea to research ways to make an upcoming weekend potentially awesome, such as figuring out Taylor Swift's likely partying location next week or practicing Eastern European accents.
So make sure you rack up a decent point total this weekend, because life's too short to begin the week with a Riverdance-less weekend story.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Today marks the beginning of DREAM week—a week dedicated to motivating youth around the nation to stand up and speak out about national immigration reform.
The DREAM act has become gridlocked in Congress because
The Development, Relief and Education Act for Alien Minors (DREAM) is a vital piece of legislation that would free a path to citizenship and allow thousands of undocumented students, brought to the U.S. at a very young age, the opportunities to pursue college educations.
Some conservative extremists lambaste pro-immigrant organizations, citing economical issues. Yet, they continually refuse to pass legislation that would allow millions to contribute greatly to the U.S.-the inaneness of it all unnerves me.
of partisan politics. Congress and the American political system are failing us. The University of Kansas—an institution historically known as a hotbed of activism and as a leader in civil rights—needs to step up and make it known that its students will not quiet our voices.
This is our current day civil rights issue. Twelve million undocumented immigrants reside in this country. They live in fear, are denied basic civic liberties and face prejudice and discrimination every day.
We have heard the arguments, fought the labels and renounced the racists. Apathy and pity get us nowhere. The time has come to engage and use our civic voices.

The art of storytelling: Ira Glass lauds oral tradition
BY ALEX GARRISON
agarrison@kansan.com
It's Saturday night and the Lied Center is packed.
Immersed in total darkness, there's a certain electricity in the air as a familiar voice begins to float through the theater.
It's a voice you might not think would be destined for radio greatness. It's high-pitched, it's nasal, it's undoubtedly nerdy. But it also boyishly charming, articulate, friendly but direct. It's speaking to hundreds of strangers, but, somehow, it still feels intimate.
"You have to remember, this is radio. Not seeing contains a power
in itself.
This isn't the first time these people have sat in silence listening to Ira Glass. Many of the more than 1,500 people here are among the 1.8 million weekly listeners of "This American Life," the nationally syndicated show Glass began on Chicago's WBEZ public radio station in 1995.
Some of the younger people here may not even own a radio, but it's obvious they're still devotees. "This American Life" is the most popular podcast in the country most weeks. These people, many of them KU students, carry Ira Glass around with them in their pockets.
The lights go up and the anticipation becomes palpable. Dressed in a sharp suit, seated behind in a table topped with audio mixers, CD players and wires, he looks at home.

But Glass is out for his own amusement. "You look nothing like I expected," he says to the audience with a wry smile.
During the nearly two hours Glass spoke, aided by music and audio "quotes" from his show, he laid out his model for structuring stories, gave his advice for students and writers — mainly, kill the topic sentence — and both lampooned and venerated the state of American media.
Glass talked about the 400th episode of "This American Life," called "Stories Our Parents Pitched Us," and the story of his grandmother meeting Hitler before World War II.
people and their lives.
"It's a failure of craft. The job of journalism is not just to tell what is
This led him into explaining what makes "This American Life" different from traditional broadcast media productions — stories of everyday people and, in a word, a sense of fun.
He puts one thing in every story to amuse himself, he said, adding that the reason traditional media are losing audience members is related to their serious tone.
"This American Life" has a reputation for being a news show that isn't really journalism — not in the objective news-delivery of broadcasters. It frequently features first-person stories and works of fiction, and it uses music to punctuate and add depth in a way traditional media does not. Glass says the stories are true, but they rarely include specific time elements or anything "new." Rather, the stories are those of everyday

GETTING OVER THE GAP
Glass continued his advice to "anybody who wants to do something creative with their lives" by telling upstarts to "get over the gap" — to overcome the self-consciousness of observing beginner's work compared to professional work.
The key, he said, was to just keep writing.

Winning the league sooner
Jayhawks can secure at least a share of Big 12 title with victory
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
twitter.com/c_thibodeaux
There are still four games to go, but the Jayhawks are already talking about clinching the Big 12.
If Kansas beats Oklahoma tonight, they will clinch at least a share of the conference title for the sixth consecutive season. If Kansas loses three games and Kansas State wins out, they will both finish at the top.
After Saturday's game against Colorado, coach Bill Self explained the significance of what tonight's game holds.
"We just talked about it for the first time in the locker room," he said. "Worst case scenario, we have a chance to clinch a tie on Monday. That's a big deal to be the best team in a league that's supposed to be as good as any league in the country."
Kansas is 26-1 overall this season, and 12-0 in the conference.
Already having disposed of K-State, Texas and Texas A&M on the road. Self looked back at the schedule and marveled at his team's accomplishment.
"12-0 is prob-

"12-0 is probably a far better start than what we ever thought we could get to," he said.
All senior guard Sherron Collins has ever known is conference titles, winning or sharing one every season he has been a Jayhawk. But he still wants the fourth.
"It's really hard for anyone to do, especially in the tough conference that we have," he said. "It means a lot, being here all four years, for me winning three in a row was nice. But to win four would be even more special."
KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA
**WHEN:** 8 p.m.
**WHERE:** Allen Fieldhouse
**WATCH:** ESPN (Sunflower channel 33)
"It means a lot, being here all four years, for me winning three years in a row was nice."
As it stands now, Collins is 10 wins away from becoming the alltime winningest player in college basketball. It would take a deep tournament run for that to happen.
SHERRON COLLINS Senior guard
And the accolades keep mounting for Collins. The victory against Colorado Saturday helped Collins tie the record for most wins by a Jayhawk at 123. A victory against Oklahoma would put Collins alone at the top.
"I think it's really cool," Self said. "He's a long ways from this and wed have to get unbelievably hot down the stretch."
Self said he forgot to mention the feat to Collins after the game against
Colorado, but will make a point to do so soon. Collins thought the poor defensive effort, allowing 74 points to the Buffaloes was why Self didn't mention it.
"It's a big deal!" he said of his accomplishment. "Coach probably won't say anything about it until tomorrow in practice. He was a little upset after the game about how we finished but I think he is pretty proud of me."
"We haven't really played well at home since the first half of the Missouri game it seems like to me," Self said.
forward Markieff Morris called it a "mini-NBA schedule."
So now the Jayhawks turn around for yet another Monday game. Collins said sophomore
The Jayhaws dismantled the Buffaloes 94-74 Saturday, their first blowout of a weak team in
some time. Kansas gave up 20 points in the final six and a half minutes in the first half Saturday.
"We've got a tough Oklahoma team that hasn't had a good season, but they're capable of playing," he said. "They just haven't put it all together in some games, and all games they have."
But this game is at home against a struggling Oklahoma team who is 13-13 on the season and 4-8 in conference play. Collins said he won't overlook the Sooners, who have Willie Warren and Tommy Mason-Griffin, two dangerous guards.

Jayhawks fall flat in second half of loss to Red Raiders
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Early in the first half and packed in a crowd of pink layhawks, Texas Tech senior Ashlee Roberson leaped for a rebound and lost her right shoe. White sock exposed, Roberson kept playing for a few more possessions before a media timeout halted play. Despite the praiseworthy effort, the previous week's Big 12 Player of the Week lost more than just her shoe Sunday. After averaging 17.5 points and 9.5 rebounds last week, her game was nowhere to be found early on.
The Brock, Texas native scored 20 points and played pressure filled defense as her Lady Raiders defeated the jayhawks 68-51 Sunday Kansas dropped its eleventh straight game against Tech Tech and fell to 5-7 in the Big 12.

COMMENTARY
Starters give team an early advantage
BY CLARK GOBLE
cgoble@kansan.com
Basketball isn't driven by statistics
Basketball isn't driven by statistics
Sherron Collins' ability to hit big
shots in high pressure situations
can't be defined by a series of num-
bers. Swag isn't quantifiable.
So an attempt to quantify Kansas' best lineup Saturday against Colorado is flawed in some ways. First, 40 minutes is a relatively small sample size. Some lineups are unlucky and give up two tough buckets on consecutive possessions before watching Self look to his bench.
Instead of watching the game for
the surely non statistical reason
So Thomas Robinson, your -12 point differential was not completely your fault.
Instead of watching the game for the purely non-statistical measures — things like Tyshawn Taylor's energy, how many shots Cole Aldrich alters — I took a purely statistical approach. As Self made each substitution, I jotted it down and recorded the point differential while that lineup was on the floor.
Kansas' starting five was 21 points better than Colorado on Saturday.
The results weren't too surprising, but there are some things Kansas fans can take from them. All this is dependent on my ability to jot down such information accurately, but the numbers all added up at the end.
Self's new starting lineup — Collins, Taylor, Xavier Henry; Marcus Morris and Aldrich — dominated. It was this lineup that mostly helped Kansas take a 35-14 lead and never look back. Taylor appeared to be the defibrillator that Self thought he would be.
All other lineup combinations were one point worse than the Buffaloes.
This is perhaps the most surprising aspect of this lineup-based plus/minus system. Self never reverted to his previous starting lineup – the one with Brady Morningstar at off guard instead of Taylor. But even when Kansas had four of the five starters on the floor, they only came out ahead four points.
Marcus Morris' foul trouble skews this a bit. It forced Self to play Markieff Morris more. While the sample size is miniscule, it is something to watch in the rest of conference play. Are Kansas' second, third and fourth best lineups better than the opponents?
In case you were wondering, Kansas' second best lineup in terms of plus/minus was Collins, Taylor, Henry, Markieff Morris and Aldrich Maybe those twins have more similar effects on the lineups productivity than most people thought.
Kansas' worst lineup Saturday using this metric: Taylor, Reed, Morningstar, Markieff Morris and Thomas Robinson. Considering that lineup has just one starter, this isn't a surprise.
More trends would come to light if this statistical metric were applied to every game. Collins wasn't a huge factor Saturday, but he assuredly will be in the future.
For now, however, Saturday validates Self's decision to start Taylor over Morningstar. Taylor was extremely efficient in 24 minutes.
Under any kind of analysis, Saturday was another reason why Kansas fans should trust Self's judgment.
The guy simply knows what he's doing.

Olympic coverage has given Americans a new thing to toast tape delay and TV broadcastin
tape delay and TV broadcasting. With the Olympics on every two years, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat help captivate an American audience. But there is another agony: knowing the results before they are shown on NBC.
In our ever-changing world, we've learned to access our news much quicker. That makes covering events live much easier. Unless you're NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol and you insist on showing events that take place at 2:30 in the afternoon in Vancouver during primetime.
The best case for this example is Lindsey Vonn winning a gold and silver medal in skiing this past week. While these events took place in the afternoon in an American-friendly time zone, Americans had to scramble to the Internet for websites such as twitter.com, vancouver2010.com and nbccolympics.com just to get any news on Vonn's medal quest.

are in a country with an odd time difference, but that should be no problem if it's in Canada. The network did show Vonn's medal-winning runs during the prime-time coverage, but a good percentage of Americans already knew what happened. The next thing you know Bob Costas will come on just before the evening broadcast and say "OK America, if you don't want to know what happened, earmuffs" NBC needs to show events live and not lose ratings if an American hopeful disappoints.
THE
MORNING
BREW
Next I believe should change what is shown during primetime coverage. For all of you figure skating fans on there, you might want to put earmuffs on for what
I'm about to say, Figure skating does not need to be on primetime. Your average American audience likes to see the good American story, but NBC shouldn't show the top two Russian ice dancing pairs while the USA takes on Canada in hockey. While NBC holds the rights to the NHL TV package, you will have to see Patrick Kane from the US against Sidney Crosby and Canada on MSNBC. NBC already has low hockey ratings. I'm sure that covering pairs figure skating on the major network would fall short of a USA-Canada hockey game in ratings.

Medals keep rolling in for team USA
OLYMPICS
Bode Miller of the United States races down the course in the slalom portion of the men's super combined downhill event Sunday at the Olympic Winter Games in Whistler, British Columbia. Miller won gold in the event, tying the record for most Alpine medals won by a man in a single Winter Olympics.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER,British Columbia These weren't miracles. Bode and Ryan Miller are too good for the feats they pulled off Sunday to be total shockers.
Bode Miller won the first gold medal of his Olympics career, taking the super-combined with plenty of flair - roaring back from seventh after the downhill with a blazing slom run. Then, hours later, goaltender Ryan Miller made 42 saves to help the U.S. hockey team upset Canada 5-3 in one of its biggest wins since the famous Miracle on Ice in 1980.
The hockey win gave the Americans a perfect record in the preliminary round and assured them a berth in the quarterfinals. Bode Miller's victory bumped the U.S. medal count to seven gold and 24 overall to lead all countries.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
One more medal and the Americans will match the 25 they won in 2006, their most at a Winter Olympics not held at home. Miller's performance at that Olympics was forgettable, when he partied away his status as the favorite going into the games.
Now, with a medal of each color after three races, Miller is one of the feel-good stories of the Vancouver Games.
"The level I skied at is at the very top," he said. "It feels amazing."

Across Vancouver, bars, restaurants and streets were packed Sunday, mainly because of the U.S.-Canada hockey game the host country was anticipating for years. With a trio of rivalry games at Canada Hockey Place, and six gold medals handed out elsewhere, the day was dubbed "Super Sunday"
However, it got off to a sad start with Joannie Rochette - Canada's best hope for a medal in women's figure skating - learning that her 55-year-old mother died of a massive heart attack.
Rochette wiped her eyes and took a deep breath before stepping onto the ice for afternoon practice, then blinked hard during her first few laps around the rink. She'll remain in the event, which starts Tuesday, "to fulfill the goal they had together," said Rochette's agent, David Baden.
In other events decided Sunday, Germany's Magdalena Neuner won her second gold medal of these games in biathlon and Switzerland's Michael Schmid won the Olympics debut of men's skicross, a cousin to the NASCAR-ion ice snowboarding race featuring four racers charging through a winding course filled with jumps
Andre Lange of Germany won the two-man bobsled, and speedskater freen Wust of the Netherlands took the women's 1,500 meters.
HOCKEY
The U.S. came out wearing jerseys nearly identical to those worn by the 1960 gold-medal winning team at Squaw Valley, which also was the last group of Americans to beat Canada in the Olympics.
The U.S. lived up to the threads with Brian Rafalski scoring just 41 seconds into the game and Rafalski scoring again later in the period.
Defending champion Ted Ligety jumped from 15th to fifth with the fastest time in the slalom. Unfortunately for him, there was only one slalom leg this time, after two in Turin.

Evgeni Malkin scored twice for Russia and Ovechkin had two assists.
SKATER'S MOTHER
Chris Drury and Jamie Langenbrunner scored to put the U.S. up 4-2, and the Americans held off a relentless late surge
One play summed up the first game, a rematch of the 1998 goldmedal game between Russia and the Czech Republic; Russia's Alex Ovechkin flattening jaromir lagr with a hit at center ice that also broke his visor. The Russians won 4-2 to claim first place in their group.
A few hours after learning of her mother's sudden death, Rochette was back on the ice. Dressed in black tights and a black Canadian team hoody, she appeared in the runway as the rest of the skaters in her practice session took the ice.
by Canada that included Sidney Crosby's goal with 3:09 remaining.
"I wish I had a concussion and just forget what happened," lagr said. "But I remember it."
Once Miller took over the lead, he had to wait out six challengers. The last was Aksel Lund Swindal of Norway, who finished a spot ahead of Miller in the super-G and the downhill.
Rochette quickly settled into the comfort of her practice routine. She showed no lapses in concentration, jumped well and did a light run-through of her tango short program, even flashing a saucy smile at one point. In the stands, her father repeatedly rubbed his eyes.
SUPER-COMBINED
When Swindal pulled up midway through the race, that was it. Miller tied the record for most Alpine medals won by a man at a single Winter Olympics.
"It's going to be hard for me go keep doing this," said Miller, who could still have two events left. "This is incredibly emotionally exhausting."
"Joannie is doing as well as one can expect. It has been an emotional roller coaster for her," Skate Canada CEO William Thompson said. "She made the decision that she wants to compete and maintain her training schedule. It is providing her with stability in a very uncertain time of her life."

forth slug-fest that, after Kansas' impressive first half, looked much like yet another overtime thriller-to-be.
Then less than two minutes into the second half, Murphree drove to the hoop, shoved her left shoulder into Engelman and drew a foul. Now Engelman and Davis both had three fouls, found the bench and impaired their team's offensive abilities.
"It put pressure on the bench," Morris said. "They're not used to
being put into that position."
After the duo sat down, the Jayhawks committed six turnovers in the opening eight minutes of the second half and the Lady Raiders went on an 18-2 run. Kansas did not score a single point for a six-minute span and simultaneously surrendered its chances at claiming a key road win.
"We turn it over and settle for jump shots when all they're doing is driving it and shooting free throws," Henrickson said.
The emotions and effort were one-sided and Texas Tech led by no less than 11 points in the final nine and a half minutes of the second half. Kansas scored just 19 second half points and conceded 20 offensive rebounds as it failed to exhibit a mandatory extra burst of energy on the road.
"We've still got four games left to get things straight," Morris said.

NBA
ORLANDO, Fla. — Dwight Howard had 22 points and 16 rebounds in a bruising battle with Shaquille O'Neal, and the Orlando Magic beat Cleveland 101-95 on Sunday for the Cavaliers' first three-game losing streak in two years.
Cleveland's skid comes on the heels of a 1-3 game win streak.
The Cavaliers suffer third-straight loss
Howard was 8-for-13 shooting and added four blocks, and Vince Carter had eight of his 11 points in the fourth quarter to help the Magic beat Cleveland for the first time this season.
O'Neal made his first eight shots and finished with 20 points, and LeBron James had 33 points and nine rebounds for the Cavaliers.
The hoopla surrounding the Howard-Shaq squabble over the Superman nickname finally lived up to the billing, even though the drama in the end came on the perimeter.
Carter made a two-handed dunk over heavy traffic, and followed that with a layup over Antawn Jamison.

New season brings great expectations, difficulties
BY BEN WARD
bward@kansan.com
The first pitch of the season has yet to be thrown and Kansas has already been forced to deal with adversity — from winter weather to an injury to one of its best players.
Snow and ice have cost Kansas valuable outdoor practice time during the past few weeks and it reared its ugly head again this weekend, spoiling the team's home opener. In spite of the weather, the Jayhawks will begin the 2010 season this afternoon when they take on Eastern Michigan in a doubleheader at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn.
The contests were originally slated over the weekend as part of a three-game series, before being forced to relocate from Hoglund Ballpark to the Metrodome because of the weather conditions.
Every home game is precious, especially for a team that went 25-3 at Hoglund a season ago, but the Jayhawks weren't willing to make any excuses. Even during the eight-hour bus ride to Minneapolis, Minn. on icy roads, the team had only one thing in mind; getting back on the field.
"You just have to make do," sophomore infielder Zac Eleg said. "It's actually kind of nice to still have an opportunity to play."
Coming off a 39-win season where the team advanced to the Chapel Hill Region of the NCAA Tournament, Kansas is anxious to return to action, as it aims for a run deeper into the post-season.
The high expectations don't lie solely within the team either. In addition to a number of national rankings, including a No. 25 slot by Rivals.com, the Big 12
coaches picked the Jayhawks to finish second in the conference.
"All of us are pretty excited," sophomore catcher Chris Manship said. "There's all the added pressure on us this year."
Adding to that pressure is
"All of us are pretty excited. There's all the added pressure on us this year."
the number of looming questions Kansas has surrounding its lineup. Already facing a hole at catcher with the graduation of four-year starter Buck Afenir, the lajawhicks are now forced to replace the injured Tony Thompson at third base.
CHRIS MANSHIP Sophomore catcher
That means relatively inexperienced players like Manship and Jake Marasco, as well as the completely untested redshirt freshman Jordan Dreiling and freshman Alex DeLeon will all be asked to
play large roles to begin the season. Sophomore James Stanfield also draws a large assignment, as he'll be called upon to play significant time at both positions.
Some of the more experienced members of the team will also need to make larger contributions this year. Elgie will likely assume the role of every-day first baseman, junior limmy Waters needs
to be productive at the plate in order to protect hitters in the middle of the lineup. Junior T.J. Walz, who led the team with eight wins and 88 strikeouts last season, faces the burden of increased responsibility — as he replaces departed ace Shaefe Hall.
Like many of
his teammates though, Walz is undaunted by the task set before him.
"You still face the same team," Walz said. "You still have to go out and shut them down as best you can."
With the weather, last minute change of venue and every other potential distraction thrown their way, the jayhawks simply need to focus on handling their business.

Now the ace of the staff, Walz will get the ball to start off the season from the
mound. Replacing Shaeffer Hall won't be easy, especially considering the opening day no-hitter Hall tossed against Air Force last season. But Walz is more than ready for the added pressure from throwing in the number one spot, and no-hitter or not, he should start off the season with a strong outing.
Hitting: James Stanfield
Stanfield suddenly finds himself as one of the answers to two of the Jayhawks biggest questions. The sophomore will be asked to be a main contributor at catcher, as well as third base during junior Tony Thompson's injury. Stanfield
will start game one behind the plate, and the second at third base. It's a difficult task

for Stanfield, but one that his coaches and teammates are confident he can handle.

TUESDAY'S GAME IN DOUBT
The weekend series at Hoglund Ballpark may not be the only home games lost because of the recent weather. Tomorrow's contest against Wichita State, scheduled to start at 5 pm, is also in jeopardy because of snow and ice.
Though a cancellation isn't official, should the game be lost - and barring any changes to the schedule - Kansas won't play its first home game until March 5th.

Ramirez hits home runs in invitational game win
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com
Senior shortstop Sara Ramirez said she didn't know about the first hit, but knew the second one was gone.
"I was just thinking base hits, base hits, and it turned out to be home runs," Ramirez said.
Ramirez, who hit only one home run all of last season, hit two during the weekend at critical times, each helping to seal a victory.
While the Jayhawks won three games throughout the weekend, they needed a big inning in each contest to put the game away. Head coach Megan Smith said she thought the offense is still finding its groove and would progress.
"We've been moving some people around in the lineup and inserted new players into our lineup," Smith said. "Once they got some time to settle in, they put up a lot of runs against a good Marshall team."
The Jayhawks are now 5-5 on the season and will see action again Feb. 26-28 at the UTC Frost Classic, where they will play Kentucky, Tennessee at Chattanooga, Tennessee Tech, Lipscomb and Austin Peay.

FRIDAY
MARSHALL 7,
KANSAS 3
Kansas had a rough start as an error and a wild pitch helped Marshall take a three-run lead in the second. Marshall stretched
its lead to 6-0 in the fifth, and Kansas' comeback attempt was too little too late. Junior catcher Brittney Hile and freshman outfielder Maggie Hull both recorded one run on two hits for the game.
NO.9 FLORIDA 12,
KANSAS 4
It looked like it might have been a close match as Florida was up 3-2 after the second. Florida then scored four runs in the third, one in the fourth, and two in the fifth and six to runleer Kansas in the sixth. Kansas' offense just never had an answer
to last year's national runner-up team. Freshman outfielder Rosie Hull showed how invaluable and versatile the freshmen class has been this season as she racked up two runs on three
SATURDAY
KANSAS2,
CAMPBELL1
In spite of 13 hits between Kansas and Campbell, the game was a defensive struggle. Kansas was down 0-1 in the fifth until senior shortstop Sara Ramirez had a two-run homer to give Kansas the edge over Campbell. Freshman pitcher Alex Jones pitched seven innings with just one earned run, and offensively had one run on two hits.
"I was just thinking base hits, base hits, and it turned out to be home runs."
SARA RAMIREZ
Senior shortstop
KANSAS 3, EAST CAROLINA 1
Even though Kansas gave up seven hits and had two errors, East Carolina only mustered one run. Another defensive match, the score was tied 0-0 going into the sixth when East Carolina scored its lone run. Kansas then responded by scoring three runs in the bottom of the sixth, two from another home run from Ramirez.
SUNDAY KANSAS 7,
MARSHALL 3
The rematch with Marshall was nearly a mirror of the first game. Marshall had a couple of errors and Kansas' bats were hot, hitting a season-high 13 hits. Kansas was down 1-3 when it scored two runs in the fourth and four in
the fifth to break the game open. Sophomore infielder Marissa Ingle got her first collegiate hits, going 3-for-3 in the game after being 0-17 over her two-year career. She had four RBIs and two runs from her three hits. Ingle said that it all finally came together and she told herself to stop pushing and just relax. Freshman infielder Mariah Montgomery also had three runs on three hits for the game.

Xavier Henry continues his scoring turnaround

The three starting guards for the Jayhawks were all jokes and smiles after Saturday's 94-74 victory against Colorado.
Weston White/KANSAN
And freshman Xavier Henry is back to his early season high-scoring ways.
Senior Sherron Collins is tied for the winningest player in Kansas basketball history. Sophomore Tyshawn Taylor had 17 points and six assists in a solid return to the starting lineup.
Taylor got a jab in too.
"I'll answer it for him," Collins said. "Yes."

"He would have had 30 if he made some more threes," Taylor said.
There were a lot of good things that happened on offense for the Jayhawks. They made 54.7 percent of their shot attempts, had five players score in double figures and their 94 points were the most in the past 18 games.
"I think that's as good as we've been as far as having multiple guys on," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
This game was nothing like it was in Boulder, Colo. two and a half weeks ago. The Jayhawks led by as much as 27 Saturday and the Buffaloones never got within 10 in the second half.
Henry had the vote of confidence from his teammates to be the focal point of the offense. Early in the game, Collins gave up a couple of wide-open threes to get Henry the ball, who made four of his seven three-point attempts.
"When somebody gets going, we're not going to shy away from them, we're going to feed them," said Collins, who finished with 13 points. "I know I can get open shots all the time, but he was hot so I tried to give him an open shot."

"I work on all ways of scoring," Henry said. "It's nothing that
comes foreign to me. When you have an open shot, you take it. If somebody's crowding you, go ahead and take it to the rim."
Since the game at Texas on Feb. 8, Henry has
"But in the last four games he's been as good a player as we've had on our team."
magically flipped on his game. But Henry is performing well in areas other than shooting.
BILL SELF Kansas coach
So what changed with Henry that caused this sudden turnaround in scoring? Self was befuddled to what the answer was. But with the way his freshman phenom is playing now, he doesn't care.
Henry's six rebounds led the layhawks after the first half and he came away with a lot of floor burns from diving for loose balls. For those who normally watch Henry, it looked like this surge of energy was new, but Henry insists it was there all along.
"I've had my energy," Henry said. "It's just been shadowed by me not making shots I guess."
"I don't know if it was because he was a freshman or maybe he was just playing poorly at that particular time," Selt said. "But in the last four games he's been as good a player as we've had on our team."
Last week.
Henry said his streak was simply a product of his shots falling in. After Saturday's game, he confessed that there was in fact a difference between focusing on what you are told and just playing basketball.
"When you're a player, you want to please the coach and do everything right," Henry said. "I had that in my head and I'm just trying to play more than I think."

1:07 Jordan Juenemann saw his first action since Jan. 2. It's the second Big 12 game he has ever played in. (92-70)
Even though he became the winningest player in Kansas basketball history Saturday (or tied for it, at least), Sherron Collins wasn't the star of the show against Colorado.
Tyshawn Taylor reminded him of that as he and Xavier Henry waited for the senior guard to begin postgame interviews.
Saturday, it was Act V, Scene I of the Tyshawn show, as the team's most dangerous slasher found his way back to the starting lineup after an eight-game hiatus. It was the third time this year Taylor had to win his starting spot, with two stretches of coming off the bench in between.
"This ain't the Sherron show"
Taylor cracked.
"I did feel pressure at first, because it felt new to me again." Taylor said, "but I just came out and was trying to be aggressive and find my teammates. When I was doing that my shots started to come and they started to find me."
Colorado's defense for 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting.
"I think Tyshawn's game aligns well with all our guys on our team." Self said. "If he plays like he can play, I think he aligns with everybody X. Is a spot up shooter, but so are Brady and Tyrel. When he's playing well, he makes everybody better."
Saturday, Taylor made everybody
better to the tune of six assists. His ability to drive the lane and open up the floor for everyone else was important in the team's offensive success. The layhawks had five players in double figures and put up 94 points, their most in 18 games.
“That’s what Tyshawn is — speedy and crafty and he can get in the lane and hit all those off-balance shots,” Collins said. “Then coach always gets mad, and then it goes in and he claps. I think he handled it well, responded well. I think he plays better when he starts.”
Taylor's up-and-down season has been well documented. He began the season in the starting lineup,
briefly lost his job to freshman Elijah Johnson, won it back for five games and then lost it again on the merit of Brady Morningstar's play.
"I think he handled it well,he responded well. I think he plays better when he starts."
Though Morningstar has been a fine, heady player for Kansas, he certainly doesn't bring the athleticism of Taylor, who is one of the quickest guards in the conference.
SHERRON COLLINS Senior guard
"This is not a reflection of Brady
playing poorly," Self said Thursday when he announced Taylor would be back to starting. "I just think that we have to get more out of Tyshawn moving forward to give us a chance to do what we want to do. He's got to become one of the premier players on our team."
Against Colorado, that's exactly what Taylor was. He was a premier player last year against Oklahoma as well.
"I think I scored 25 or 26 points," Taylor said about last year's Oklahoma game. "I remember feeling the same way that I felt tonight."

Freshman guard Xavier Henry
Henry
Henry has been on the verge of breaking out of his recent slump for a while now, and Saturday he did it in grand fashion. After posting double figures in the three previous games, Henry went for 24 points, his most since a 31-point outburst against La Salle in late November. He hit 9-of-16 shots, including 4-of-7 threes, and pulled down six rebounds.

Morningstar lost his starting job, didn't score and played just 17 minutes after averaging almost 32 in the eight games leading up to Saturday, all of which he started. Morningstar recorded a pair of steals, a pair of assists, a rebound and a turnover. The Jayhawks don't need him to be a scorer, especially in a game like this where five of his teammates post double figures, but they do need more from him than that.

KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
The top-ranked Jayhawks (26-1, 12-0) have won 57 straight home games and they show no signs of slowing down. The Sooners (13-13, 4-8) come in with a four-game losing streak and the Jayhawks hold a 40-7 record in Allen Fieldhouse against them. Oklahoma has two good players in Willie Warren and Tommy Mason-Griffn, but the Jayhawks have five solid starters.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Marcus Morris, sophomore forward
Oklahomaas strength lies in the play of their guards. Morris hasn't been bad recently, but this should be the time where he breaks out of his little slump.
MICHAEL SMITH
Morris
The leading rebounder for the Sooners gets 8.1 per game and he's only 6-foot-9. The team is small and the points will be there for the taking for not only Morris, but Cole Aldrich as well.
Can the Jayhawks quickly and efficiently take care of business?
QUESTION MARK
They had a chance to do a number on Colorado and even though they won by 20, the damage could have been a lot worse. Kansas has been notorious this season about letting teams cut into big leads, especially with weaker opponents. The Jayhawks have a chance to essentially clinch the Big 12 and it should be a priority to do so with style against an underachieving Oklahoma team.

Sherron Collins, senior guard
The fans should start the savoring process now if they haven't already. Collins is down to his last couple games in Allen Fieldhouse. He came out of his mini shooting slump against Colorado, scoring 13 points and added seven assists, one shy of his season high. He's also one win away from becoming the winningest player in Kansas history.
★★★★★
TAKING CONTROL
Aldrich
Tyshawn Taylor, sophomore guard
PETER E. MCKINNEY
Morris
Taylor couldn't have asked for a better return to the starting rotation. He had 17 points on 6-for-7 shooting and had six assists. He accomplished just what coach Bill Self intended, helping speed up the offense and getting a big lead early for the Jayhawks. If Taylor has truly emerged to be this effective mixed with the rest of the starters, this could the best starting lineup the Jayhawks have had all season.
★★★☆☆
Xavier Henry, freshman guard
Marcus Morris, sophomore forward
The stat sheet shows 24 points with 4-of-7 from three-point territory, but it doesn't show all the floor burns Henry earned Saturday against Colorado. He was on the floor at least three times trying to grab a loose ball or taking the ball hard to the rim. Henry said he plays with the same effort all the time, but he usually isn't that active.
The model of consistency has been any; thing but the past couple games. In his last three games, he is averaging just over nine points per game, a far cry from his 16 per game earlier in Big 12 play. It's not like the Jayhawks seriously needed his services lately and with other players having success, it's nothing to get worried about.
★★★★
★★★★
Cole Aldrich, junior center
Is it possible to get a quiet 17 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks? Well, Aldrich did that against Colorado. He's a steady force in the middle and Oklahoma's Tiny
Gallon is the only threat inside. It could be another steady 15-10-5 effort from Aldrich.

Morris is playing well, most recently scoring 11 points with seven rebounds against Colorado. He is averaging eight points and seven rebounds in his past

four games. But he seems to not be over his fouling troubles that plagued him last year. He had two against the Buffaloes, but negated that with five turnovers.

STARTERS
Tommy Mason-Griffin, freshman guard
Tommy Mason-Griffin, freshman guard Mason-Griffin has been a revelation for the Sooners in his freshman year. The four-star recruit has shown the ability to light up the scoreboard, including a 38-point outburst against Iowa State. He has a tendency to be inconsistent, though, exemplified by a nine-point, four-turnover performance in the game following his career-high 38. Mason-Griffin is also the team's assist leader, averaging 4.5 per game.
I am proud to be a member of the United States Army. I have served in the U.S. Army for 26 years and have been awarded numerous military awards, including the Medal of Honor, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart. I am also a distinguished military officer who has served in various capacities throughout my career. I am committed to serving my country with integrity and honor. I will continue to serve my country with pride and honor.
★★★☆
Cade Davis, junior guard
Mason-Griffin
Davis has grown from being a situational three-point threat for the Sooners to a legitimate weapon in their offense and, in doing so, has become part of the discussion for most improved player in the conference. He's averaging 10 points per game for Oklahoma, but, like seemingly everyone else on this team, either has it or doesn't on any given night. There's no in-between with Davis.
★★★☆☆
Tony Crocker, senior guard
Crocker and his backcourt mates have had to find ways to make up for the absence of Willie Warren in four of the last eight games. Crocker can score when he needs to, but usually won't overwhelm a team offensively (his 33-point performance against Centenary notwithstanding). He's a good rebounder for his position, averaging 6.5 per game.
★★★☆★
Ryan Wright, senior forward
YOUNG
Wright, a UCLA transfer, has been solid, but unspectacular, in the paint for the Sooners. He can dominate a game, like he did with an 11-point, 14-rebound tour de force against Texas, but he also can disappear entirely. Wright hasn't had double-figure points or rebounds in any of the Sooners' last four games—all losses.

Gallon is the most consistent frontcourt weapon the Sooners have, but he hasn't lived up to the numbers he posted earlier in the season. In the nonconference season, Gallon averaged 11.6 points per game. Since then, he's posting just 8.3 per game. Gallon's also the team's leading rebounder with over eight per contest.

Willie Warren, sophomore guard
Warren, who's missed four of the last eight games with injury and illness, has been coming off the bench when he does play during that stretch.
Sherron Collins
This makes him the most lethal sixth man in the entire conference. He's averaging 16.3 points per game for the Sooners, but has been wracked with inconsistency. When he's on, he's as good a scorer as there is in the conference.

TIPOFF
ATAGLANCE
★★★★★
On paper, the Sooners are one of the most talented teams in the conference. That's not worth a whole lot, though, considering they're mired in a four-game losing streak and stuck at 13-13 overall. At this point, the Sooners are playing for nothing more than pride, as all their hopes of an NCAA tourney bid lie in winning the conference tournament. There's a lot of ability on this team, but the inconsistency from basically every major contributor has crippled them, especially in the conference season.
PLAYERTOWATCH
Willie Warren, sophomore guard
It's been surprising to see Warren struggle at times this year after an outstanding freshman season. It appears that he's missing Blake Griffin in the middle more than anyone anticipated, but he still has the ability to score on command. Last year when the Jayhawks visited
YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT
Warren
QUESTION MARK
Can the Sooners talent play well on the same night?
the Sooners, Warren was 8-for-16 from the field for 23 points and traded threes with Sherron Collins at the end of the game in a whirlwind comeback attempt. The Jayhawks came out on top 87-78, but it was through no fault of Warren's. This year, Warren hasn't shown the same ability from long range, though. He's hitting just 31 percent of his threes.
Oklahoma's top four guards have the ability to score 20 on any given night, and have already this year. The top three, Warren, Mason-Griffin and Crocker, have all posted 30 points in at least one game this season. If they can manage to get all that talent rolling on one night, the Sooners would be one of the toughest outs in the conference. It hasn't worked out like that for them this year, though, and that's why they're stuck at 4-8 in conference.

THE "BOOMER SOONER" CHANT WILL ECHO IN OKLAHOMA IF...
...Tyshawn Taylor reverts back to his old ways. It is no coincidence Taylor's start made the Jayhawks a faster, more dynamic team. He is the fastest player on the team but sometimes he plays faster than he thinks, resulting in turnovers or dumb fouls. Coach Bill Self said Taylor has his mind right and is on the same page as the coaches. But if he strays, it'll cause a hurdle the Jayhawks will have to overcome.
ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF...
Date Opponent
... Sherron Collins demands it. During the Colorado game, you could see Collins getting the crowd into the game and he said it was because he wanted to relish in his home of the past four years. As the games get closer to the end of the season, Collins is going to be more emotional, and it should translate to the way he plays on the court. When Allen Fieldhouse is rocking, the opposition doesn't stand a chance.

Editor's note
After graduating high school I was excited to go to college, sure. But what I was most excited for was to have a dorm room to decorate. I would talk with my friends about things we were buying or ideas we had to make our spaces our own. After freshman year I moved from the dorms to a sorority house so I have never experienced living in an apartment, dealing with landlords or fighting with roommates over whose dirty dishes are in the sink. I would love to bring my beloved dog, Quincy, to live with me but having a pet can be more work than you may think — see the story on page 10. While I'm used to living in a house with 80 women, other KU students
BY MICHELLE SPREHE msprehe@kansan.com
have found it is easier to live with the opposite sex, as in the story on page 8. And if this is your first year moving to your own place, consider some tips from the story on page 15.

Going home has benefits, disadvantages
Students commute to do laundry and see friends and family, but frequent trips can make it difficult to adapt to Lawrence
BY MOLLY MARTIN mmartin@kansan.com
Twenty-five miles. That's the distance between Lawrence and Topeka.
Whether it be professors driving from Topeka to teach at the University, or recent graduates driving from Lawrence to work in Topeka, these 25 miles are a common commute during the work week.
On the weekends, this section of I-70 continues to serve as a commute, but for college students because some prefer to spend their free time in their hometown more than their college town.
Taylor Hayes, a freshman from Topeka lives in Templin Hall, but is also a weekend commuter.
"I'm away from my family, so I don't feel like I'm still at home, but it's close enough so when I get homesick I can just drive back in 30 minutes," she said. "It's like the perfect distance."
Hayes said she has had a great experience living in Templin. She said she also gets along with her roommates for the most part. But Topeka is where her boyfriend lives. She goes
to see him and her family every weekend, and even goes home up to two more times throughout the week.
"Going home most weekends generally makes it more difficult to develop friendships and to feel connected to the campus community," he said. "This can lead to a vicious cycle of feeling disconnected at KU and not having a satisfying social life here, making it even more appealing to go home to established friendships and family."
John Wade, a psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services in Watkins Health Center, said going home too often can sometimes have more costs than benefits.
Wade said he acknowledges the need for students to go home for the extra support.
"There can also be circumstances making going home on weekends a necessity," he said.
Alex Bruschi, a freshman from Topeka, said he also goes home each weekend. However, his circumstances for going home have less to do with relationships and more to do with dirty socks.
"My mom does my laundry," he said. "We don't have washers or dryers at the apartment.
It's just kind of expensive to do it."
Although both Bruschi and Hayes have hometown friends as their roommates, neither said they had trouble making friends at KU.
"I know a lot more people than I did when I was in high school," Bruschi said.
At a party once, Bruschi said he met two guys who will now likely be his roommates next semester. Along with his current roommate, he said the four of them plan to get a duplex together.
Hayes, however, said she wants to have a new roommate next semester. She said she is thinking about living in Lewis Hall, and wants to try the pot luck system of getting a roommate.
"I like the dorm living," Hayes said. "I think it kind of suits me, but after next year, I think I'm going to live off campus."
Although Hayes said she has made friends in her classes and on her floor at Templin, she will have the opportunity to meet even more people by living on campus again next semester.
Wade said it would take some effort for new friendships to develop.

of relationship by living together
27
BY TAYLOR LEWIS tlewis@kansan.com
On their sixth month anniversary, Kristina Burger and L.D. Williams, seniors from El Dorado, made a pact. From that point on, the young couple decided that they would be comfortable enough to fart in front of each other.
Nineteen months later, the two students are more than comfortable with one another. In fact, they're so comfortable that they have chosen to take the ultimate relationship jump and move in with each other at Lawrence's Trailridge apartments.
"I thought moving in was a huge relief. It was just so nice not to have to pack a bag to stay at his house, or him not to have to pack a bag to stay at my house. It was just nice to have all of our stuff at one place," Burger said.
Chelsye Parrett, a freshman from Hoyt, and Garrett Gunn, a freshman from Topeka, also encountered that relationship milestone after dating for seventeen months. After the two met through a mutual friend and both decided to attend the University, they chose to move in together at Hawks Pointe apartments.
"Shed stay at my house and we liked that. We thought we could deal with each other," Gunn said.
These two couples aren't alone though. Anna Olson, a leasing agent with Hutton Farms apartments, said couples living together seems to be gaining popularity among college students.
"It's definitely been a growing thing. I'm seeing more and more younger students come in to live with cross sexes," Olson said. "We do have quite a few people who meet each other out here and start dating, but they start out as neighbors."
Approximately 25 percent of residents at Hutton Farms are students and a significant portion of that percentage is couples. But while some may believe that living with your significant other might be difficult, Burger, Williams, Parrett, and Gunn seem to have found the key for happy living.
"Wed be lying if we said that it didn't test our relationship," Parrett said. "But we're pretty in love, I like to think."
In addition to improving their emotional relationship, by living with their significant others, students are able to learn a thing or two about themselves.
"I moved in with a boyfriend in the past
for about four or five months and we had dated for three or four years, and living together made me realize that we weren't meant to be," Burger said.
By living with Williams, Burger has also learned that she has more time to devote to her studies. The time she would have spent texting and calling Burger is now spent on schoolwork. Williams has also seen a difference in his study time.
"I think living together has actually helped my class work. Both of us are pretty good students." Williams said. "But when we're both there, she has to study like four or five days in advance for her tests, which, when she's sitting down studying, it gets me to calm down and sit down and study more in advance for my tests."
While shacking up together isn't for all couples, there can be definite benefits to this relationship landmark. Yet no matter how close couples may be, Burger advises all couples to follow her relationship rule of thumb.
"Make sure you can fart in front of each other," Burger said. "If you can't do that, you probably can't live with each other."

I'll go with the one that says "student" or "teacher." It looks like a student. But it's just a word. I'll stick to what's clearly visible.
Okay, I'm ready.
One more thing: the people in the image are likely students or teachers. The laptop is on their hands, and they appear to be focused on something on the screen. They could be looking at a textbook, a video tutorial, or some online course material. However, without more context, it's hard to be certain.
Let's try to find the logo on the laptop.
It's an Apple logo.
So the logo is on the laptop.
Final check of the image:
The two people are sitting close together, looking at a laptop. The laptop has a MacBook Air logo on it. The background is a room with shelves and plants.

Rooming with pets has costs, responsibilities
BY JASON SHOLL jsholl@kansan.com
Everyone knows that a pet can be a man's best friend, but what they don't know is how costly they really can be.
Searching for an apartment means keeping in mind things such as a good location, cheap rent and good quality. But when a house pet is brought into the equation, all the key elements you look for in an apartment change. All housing complexes have different rules and policies on house pets. You can find the perfect apartment but may not be able to live there because of the house pet you bring along with you.
The Reserves on 31st street, as well as the Hawker on 10th and Missouri both have a no-pet policy rule. Some places, such as High Pointe apartments, 2001 W. 6th st., require a $200 pet deposit.
Katie Wagner, a sophomore from Dallas and owner of a black lab/border collie mix named Lucy, said the process of finding an apartment with her dog was a difficult one.
"I had to look at three different apartment complexes before I was able to settle
on Hawks Pointe II," Wagner said. "Not to mention also having to pay Hawks Pointe a $300 deposit, even though I do get some of that back."
Students should also consider whether an apartment is a good environment for their pet. Brenda Newell, a veterinarian at the Lewis Veterinary Clinic, says balancing living conditions can be difficult for students living in apartments
"It's not the best case scenario at all," Newell said. "They should have enough space to roam around but with the right owner and the right exercise they'll be iust fine."
Wagner has experienced some of the problems associated with having a pet in an apartment environment.
"There have definitely been some nights where Lucy has kept me up all night," Wagner said. "I've even had one or two noise complaints for neighbors, but she's my dog, it's like having a child; you go through the good and the bad with them."
While these obstacles may seem difficult to overcome, research is the key to finding the right apartment for you and
your pet.
"Research, research, research," Evie Haertl, a sophomore from Wichita and owner of a black dachshund named Sadie, said. "Call as many apartment complexes as possible, and get as much info as you can, also make sure you find a place with lots of space."
When researching different apartment complexes, make sure you check out the pet weight and height restrictions that the complex may have. Kyle Peterson, a sophomore from Chicago, considered bringing one of his golden retrievers to college with him. After a lengthy search, Peterson decided he couldn't find an appropriate location for a pet and that the responsibility of caring for his dog was too much for him to handle as a student. His advice to students who want to move in with a pet?
"Start looking early," Peterson said. "You need to make sure your pet fits all the restrictions. The place I'm living at now doesn't allow pets over 50 pounds, and they have to be at least a year old."

Roommates can be longtime friends
G
Deborah Fraser/KANSAN
Roommates Andrew Leicht, and Jeffrey Haddock, seniors from St. Louis, Mo., Benjamin Hornung, a senior from Council Grove, and Mason McMullen, a senior from Sublette, play video games together in their house. The four students met during their freshman year and have lived together since then.
BY ELLEN SHEFTEL
esheftel@kansan.com
The saying goes that the friends you meet in college will be the friends for the rest of your life. But is it really true? Four seniors who met freshman year and have stayed friends would say yes.
Ben Hornung, a senior from Council Grove, met jeff Haddock, a senior from St. Louis, in 2006, their freshman year. Haddock lived with Andrew Leicht, a senior from St. Louis, whom he knew from high school. The three men met in Templin Hall and began hanging out. Hornung met Mason McMullen, a senior from Sublette, who also lived in the same dorm, in his classes. The four men started hanging out and going to the dining hall together.
When it came time to decide the living plans for sophomore year, the four decided to live together. Originally, five to six guys had planned on living together with the men.
"We didn't want to get something crazy. The four of us were just closer
anyways," Haddock said. As for junior year, Hornung moved out, Leicht moved in, and Haddock and Hornung lived next door. The boys have been reunited for senior year and are living in a house on 12th Street.McMullen is very happy with the experience he has had living with the four men.
"We haven't had any serious problems, and I'm pretty laid back so nothing really gets to me too often," McMullen said.
McMullen said he and his roommates have enough similarities and differences to balance each other out.
"I don't regret not living with other people. I have lived with other people before and it didn't work out so well," McMullen said. "This is just a solid group of guys."
As for the future, the men are dispersing but hope to stay friends.
"I hope we will see each other very often, but I don't know where everyone will end up,"McMullen said.

Buses provide convenient transportation for students
BY YEN PHAN
yphan@kansan.com
Riding the bus is a convenient way to get to class, and the University offers a number of bus routes to get to campus and around town.
However, students should consider whether they live near a popular route or whether they're near one at all when choosing to live off campus.
Maruel Unrein, a senior from Aiea, Hawaii, used to ride the route 26 bus to Melrose when he lived at Park-25 apartment complex, 2401 W.25th St.
"The Melrose bus was convenient to go on because it wasn't crowded as much as the other buses like Daisy Hill," Unrein said. However, the bus routes don't stop at his new apartment complex, the Grove, 4301 W. 24th Place. Unrein went from riding the bus everyday to school to now riding it only when he gets to campus to get to the Union, to go to work or classes.
Stefani Rahardja, a senior from De Soto, lives at Meadowbrook Apartments, at Bob Billings Parkway and Crestline Drive. She said it was her first year taking the bus and her first impression was that it was too crowded.
"it's not always on time and I didn't make
it to class or that the bus would not come for a long period of time so I would have to wait for a long time. I think they should have more buses going and better schedule for the routes." Rahardia said.
To students who think the same, there is a solution. Derek Meier, the transit coordinator for Student Senate and a junior from Independence, Kan., said students can lobby to their student senator for an increase in buses on their route, which would allow more buses at peak times to handle the loading demands.
Still, there are some advantages to riding the bus. Meier said that using AAA cost-per-mile data, students can save up to $1,000 a year on transportation if they ride the buses. They can also spend the time they would otherwise spend driving or walking up the hill by working on homework or reading.
"It's a more productive commute;" Meier said.
And for the students who don't want to bother with lobbying, Meier offered another solution.
"Take the earlier bus."

Consider safety while searching for a place to live
To ensure safety, residence halls require students to use their KUID to enter the building.
CON REC
BY SARAH MCCABE smccabe@kansan.com
Moving into your own space for the first time can be really exciting. But in all the bustle of choosing the place that's just right, safety can sometimes be overlooked. Being safe in whatever type of housing you choose should be a main priority. Whether you're living in an apartment or the residence halls, you can look for many safety features to ensure that you're as secure as possible.
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
Residence halls are available for all KU students. Part of the benefit of living in a dorm is the safety precautions implemented by each hall. To get into the dorms, you must swipe your KUID in a card slot by the entrance to unlock the door. A person who is not a resident of a particular dorm must call the security desk at the front and leave a driver's license to be admitted into the building. Additionally, each room requires a specific key to get inside.
"I like living in the dorms," said freshman Josh Maddux. "Having to use your ID to swipe you in and having a key to your room makes me feel really safe here."
Conversely, apartment complexes offer various safety measures to protect residents. Look for apartments with a twenty-four hour
patrol. Many complexes hire courtesy officers to supervise the area. Courtesy officers are security guards employed by the complex management company and who usually live on-site They routinely walk the property for grounds and lights checks to make sure the apartments are safe and well-lit.
While apartment shopping, ask about applicant screenings at the complexes you are interested in. Each leasing agency should have a comprehensive screening process for every residential applicant, as well as regular screening for the tenants already living there.
Several complexes also provide security systems inside each individual apartment. For instance, units at The Exchange, 2040 W. 31st St., feature many safety comforts for tenants.
"We screen each applicant thoroughly with a complete background check, and we are notified every single time both applicants and residents commit a crime," said Taffie Pounders, the property manager for Legends Place, 4101 W.24th St.
"Overall, I feel really safe in The Exchange," said Daisy Duncan, a junior from Santa Fe, N.M. "We have panic buttons by our beds, there are locks on every door, and a personal alarm system for every room."
Scheduled safety meetings at some complexes also inform residents about personal safety measures. Lawrence police officer Eric Barkley holds free monthly meetings at the Legends to discuss actions people can take to avoid putting themselves in dangerous situations.
No matter where you decide to live, no
amount of security can eliminate the simple act of being aware of your surroundings. Be observant, and never put yourself into a dangerous situation.

Number of STIs rising in Kansas
BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com
Alyssa sat nervously with her boyfriend in the waiting room. She had waited six months to get tested, and she was finally in the Lawrence Memorial Hospital's gynecology department. A nurse called her name and she — and her boyfriend
proceeded into the small office.
Sensational sixth
protected into the small Nearly half a year before, Alyssa, a junior from Lawrence, found out that her boyfriend of two years had cheated on her - with a girl infected with herpes.
"They used a condom, but I didn't want to take the chance that he had gotten it and then I would get it," she said.
Senior guard Sherron Collins lays a kiss on the Big 12 trophy following Kansas' 81-68 victory Monday night against Oklahoma. The victory clinched a share of the Big 12 title and marked the Jayhawks' 6th straight title.

Alyssa, who didn't want her last name used, isn't alone in her concerns about her sexual health. In 2009, more than 3,000 students received sexually transmitted infection testing at the University's Student Health Services for a variety of reasons, including routine testing, said Mai Hester, marketing coordinator for SHS.

Douglas county generally has one of the highest STI rates in Kansas, next only to Wyandotte and Sedgwick counties.
Because of the increasing number of sexually transmitted infections in Kansas, sexual health continues to be an issue not just for students but for Kansas residents as well.
Elise Bolton, a senior from Lawrence, gets standard STI testing every time she
Coppedge said the rate of chlamydia has gone up every year since the 1990s. The department is still compiling numbers from last year, but he said the state is expecting a 14 percent increase in the number of people who tested positive for chlamydia in 2009.
"This is the first year we're above 10,000 cases in the state," said Derek Coppedge, director of the STD Section in the Kansas Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention. "We are really pushing for all women 25 and under to be screened for chlamydia."
Coppegede said chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis are the only "reportable" STIs in Kansas. An STD has visible physical symptoms, but an STI is an existing infection that may or may not have any symptoms. Even without the visible symptoms, Coppegede said many complications still arise and can cost a lot of time and money. According to a report by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, 4,710 cases of chlamydia, 1,244 cases of gonorrhea and 37 cases of syphilis were reported from January to June 2009. Most of the cases of all three STIs occurred in 20- to 24-year olds.
He said the department didn't assume one gender is diagnosed more often than the other, but that the physiology of women causes them to have more complications from the diseases.

Last Friday and Saturday, more than 1,000 K-12 students attended the 2010 Engineering Expo held at Learned and Eaton halls. Along with viewing current School of Engineering research and projects, students competed in engineering specific competitions throughout the event. Some of the
competitions included the construction of trebuchets or scale models of cars and skyscrapers.
May," Ketchum said. "Since August we've met twice a week every week."
Megan Ketchum, a sophomore from Ottawa, is one of the three co-chairs who are involved in the preparation and hosting of Expo. Throughout the year, the co-chairs held meetings to work out the event's logistics. The group uses this extensive time to fine-tune all of Expo's details.
"We held our first meeting in
By compartmentalizing the various tasks that go into Expo's creation, the three co-chairs are able to cover much more ground when piecing together the event. Ketchum's duties included leading all of the organizations and competitions at Expo.
As Expo drew closer this semester, Ketchum found herself having to juggle priorities as she rushed to complete preparations.
"My job was to get all of the organizations involved." Ketchum said. "Most of it was controlling all of the groups and making sure everything got done."
"I had to set up certain times for things." Ketchum said. "If I had a break where I got sick of homework, I worked on Expo. I have to give up some things I do to make
sure I have time for this."
Mary Adams, a sophomore from Rolla, Mo., was in charge of registration, and worked in coordination with all the schools that brought students to Expo. Along with Colin Davidson, a junior from Overland Park who organized finances, the trio of co-chairs supported one another to create an Engineering Expo that entertained and educated students from far and wide.
Even when faced with the daunting task of creating an Expo that appealed to such a large mass of students, Ketchum's fellow cochairs were always there to lend a helping hand.
"The whole time we were just working together," Adams said. "We had our own things that we were responsible for, but we helped each other all the time. It was definitely a huge team effort."
CRIME REPORT
At about 2:45 a.m. Thursday, a driver who was stopped at a routine traffic stop was discovered to be driving under the influence and to have marijuana and a smoking pipe in his vehicle at the 1600 block of Naismith Drive . The driver admitted to having six beers earlier in the evening.
Sometimes Thursday afternoon, an unknown person entered an unoccupied victim's vehicle through an open window and stole various items valued at $330. The car was parked in the yellow lot at Sunnyside and Illinois streets.
At approximately 9 p.m. Thursday, a man was issued a Notice to Appear in Municipal Court for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia after the smell of marijuana emanated from his room in Ellsworth Hall. He admitted to smoking marijuana and handed over a bag of what is believed to be marijuana.

Katherine Logan, from Kansas City, graduate student and member of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries student leadership team, leads an international cooking class on Monday night in the ECM kitchen. Logan taught a group of more than 20 how to make southern Indian food including jasmine rice and rice pudding.
COOKING (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
vegetable korma and rice pudding with raisins were the four dishes prepared by the new international cooking class, A-Broad Cuisine.
A-Broad Cuisine, hosted by Ecumenical Christian Ministries, held its second cooking session last night in the ECM building and focused this week's class on traditional Indian food. The class is held every other week on Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. and there are five more to look forward to this semester.
Rebecca Lo, senior from Coffeyville, heard about the class from friends.
"I really love Indian food so I thought it would be interesting to check it out," Lo said.
Chelsea Mertz, a senior from Topeka and one of the coordinators of A-Broad Cuisine, said the class is set up on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students can sign up in the ECM or e-mail an RSVP to Mertz at chelsaye@gmail.com the week prior to the class.
"We ask for a five dollar donation for each class that helps with the food costs," Mertz said. "It's quite a deal for all the food you get. Plus, after we make everything, we sit down to dinner and enjoy it all."
Mertz said they break up the class into about four smaller groups and each group takes one recipe, either an appetizer, entrée, side dish or dessert. Guest cooks lead each session and teach according to their specialties, she said.
Teresa Bruno, a junior from Mexico, said she thinks she will have to come back for
the next session.
"I got some new ideas," Bruno said. "It was very nice to have contact with the food and see everyone cooking together."
After being approached last semester to coordinate the class by Thad Holcombe, advisor and pastor at the ECM, Mertz and
Ashley Davis, a junior from Wakarusa and co-coordinator of A-Broad Cuisine, developed the ideas for the class over winter break. They chose themes, guest cooks and class dates.
"For each class we pick out recipes about a week ahead of time," Mertz said. "The weekend before the class we start tinkering with the recipes and we do the grocery shopping on Sunday afternoon."
"We ask for a five dollar donation for each class .. It's quite a deal for all the food you get."
Nancy Xaio Liang, a junior from China, said she went to the class to further her cooking skills.
Sunday evening they make up the plan for how the class will run; who will teach the appetizer, the entree, the side dish and the dessert, Mertz said. The food is vegetarian and they make sure to provide vegan versions of the recipes so everyone has an option to eat.
"Since I'm living off campus next semester I thought it would be good to learn more about cooking." Liang said. "I also think Indian food is always delicious."
Katherine Logan, a graduate student from Kansas City, taught last night's class. Mertz said Logan has been experimenting with different types of Indian food for a while. Throughout the class Logan explained what ingredients each recipe incorporated and helped each group to prepare its dish.

At the end of the meal everyone did the dishes in a synchronized
manner; one person washed, one dried, and the rest put everything away.
Davis said next session, on March 8, they will make traditional Irish cuisine since it falls so close to St. Patrick's Day.
Krista Gampper, a senior from Iowa, said she got to do a little bit of everything in the kitchen. Her favorite part was stuffing the eggplants.
"I've tried cooking eggplants by myself and they turned out horribly." Gampper said. "I'm excited to be a part of an eggplant that goes well"

"My boyfriend Aaron and I went to a free health day at the Health Care Access Clinic to get free HIV testing because it was something I'd never done before," Bolton said.
Patty Quintan, director of nursing at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said one in four individuals who are tested for STIs test positively and that testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea are now routine in gynecologist visits because they are the most common STIs. She also said chlamydia and HPV are the two most common STIs on campus.
"It's so easy to spread," she said, adding that different viruses and illnesses, such as chlamydia and HPV can spread "like a grass fire."
Quinlan said it was important for anyone who has been sexually active to get STI testing, especially when someone's partner changes or if they have more than one partner.
Alyssa said this was the first time she had been tested for all STIs and STDs.
"I had thought about how if I had herpes, my entire life would change and my relationships with other people would be completely different," Alyssa said. "I try really hard to keep myself healthy and be conscious of my body. To think that all the hard work I had put into being a healthy person could be taken away from me - because of what someone else did - made me feel completely helpless."
Alyssa said she wasn't going to get the testing done at first, but the possibility that she might have herpes lingered in the back of her mind even though she didn't have any symptoms.
Quinlan said one reason Douglas county had a higher
number of positive STI cases was because college towns have large populations, making them the highest populated counties in Kansas. She said it was also due, in part, to the universities having health services that are reaching out to discover positive cases so people can get treatment and prevent spreading.
She said the higher numbers may not reflect the sexual habit of college students.
Not long after Alyssa had been tested, she got a call back with her test results.
"They called me while I was in class and I had a message from the nurse saying 'Alyssa, this is so and so at the hospital and we have your labs back and could you please give us a call at this number," she said. "It was so ominous."
"I did cry because I had done everything right and now I have proof of it," she said. "You trust someone and then they can put you in danger with what they do."
It wasn't until she called the nurse back and listened to the nurse "cheerily" assure her over and over again that her test results came back completely clean, that Alyssa was satisfied.
Bolton agreed that putting your trust in someone can be tricky in such instances.
"It's an instance of never being too careful," Bolton said. "I know Aaron and I aren't fucking around on each other, but I think it's still a smart idea to always have current, accurate information regarding one's body."
Watkins, along with other clinics such as LMH and the Lawrence Health Care Access Clinic, 1920 Moodie Road, offer STI and STD testing.

Petition seeks less soot
The Center for Biological Diversity called for regulations to be implemented under the Clean Water Act.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An environmental group petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday to reduce soot, saying it accelerates melting of glaciers and sea ice.
"Black carbon, or soot, is not only dangerous to breathe but also a potent global warming
pollutant that is greatly accelerating the melt of Arctic sea ice and glaciers around the world," attorney Matt Vespa said.
Soot darkens the atmosphere absorbs heat and raises air temperatures. On snow and ice, it absorbs heat and increases melting, the center said.
It also can contribute to warming by reducing the reflectivity of snow and ice — replacing a white surface, which bounces solar energy away from the Earth, with a dark one.
EPA spokesman Tony Brown
Vespa said the petition was the first to explicitly seek protection of water in its solid form.
in Seattle said he had not seen the petition and the agency had no immediate comment.
Soot hangs in the atmosphere only about a month and is not distributed globally, unlike greenhouse gases, which last decades. As a result, reducing soot would have a quicker payoff for the climate, Vespa said.

Shoe prints used to charge men with church arson
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TYLER, Texas — Investigators used security videotapes and shoe prints to help them link two men to two church fires in Texas, according to arrest warrant affidavits released Monday.
Jason Robert Bourque, 19,

If convicted, Bourque and McAllister could face life in prison.
The affidavits, prepared by Texas Rangers Sgt. Brent Davis and presented to the court Monday, link the suspects to the Feb. 8 Dover Baptist fire and another the same day at the Clear Spring Missionary Baptist Church in nearby Linda. The churches are among

Pilot lands plane in highway traffic

SPARKS, Nev. — A deputy fire chief found an opening in traffic and slipped his single-engine plane into the gap after engine trouble forced him to land Monday on Interstate 80 near Reno.

"I just saw an opening in the traffic and slowed down," DuRousseau told KRNV-TV in Reno.
"The cars behind slowed down to allow the plane to come in from behind. The cars ahead of us were going faster, so they moved forward. It created a nice spot to come in," he said.

"He apparently suffered some mechanical difficulties and essentially made an emergency landing on westbound I-80." Allen told The Associated Press shortly after the plane touched down about 10:15 a.m. a few miles north of Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
DuRousseau, the Reno Fire Department's division chief for operations, said he was trying to switch from one fuel tank to another when the engine went out and would not restart. He said traffic was light but credited the few
The plane rolled about 100 feet before it came to a stop near the Sparks Boulevard exit overpass, where traffic was
being rerouted Monday morning at least until officials for the Federal Aviation Administration arrived, Allen said.
The FAA registry shows DuRousseau owns the airplane built in 1957.
He said when the plane failed to restart, he determined the best option was to try to set it down on the interstate. The stretch of highway runs along railroad tracks and the Truckee River just east of the Sparks Marina and John Ascauaga's Nugget — a high-rise casino that sits near the Reno-Sparks border.

Classroom environment improved with program
Everyone should be aware of sexuality issues when engaging in academic discussion. That's why students and teachers should take advantage of the new Safe Space Ally Program.
This 50-minute seminar is a great way for students and professors who are unfamiliar with LGBT terminology or who are uncomfortable being around LGBT persons to learn appropriate phrases, identifications and associations. This way, the classroom can be a more welcoming and warm atmosphere for intellectual discussions.
There are appropriate ways to refer to people and react to their stories and articulations. Referring to someone as "it" or even stumbling over the correct pronoun probably doesn't make that person feel too great.
Students who are not members of the LGBT community should not be afraid to include those people in their discussions. They shouldn't be afraid of asking questions when necessary in an appropriate, sensitive and professional manner.
Students aren't the only ones who have something to gain from
Instructors should also be aware of their response to statements that refer to sexuality. It only makes certain individuals irritated and feel small when a relevant subject they are connected to is avoided because of its gav content.
What makes this program so effective is that it includes peer participants to "assist in facilitation of the Safe Space Ally Program." Being a peer facilitator is a great way to show allegiance to the LGBT community and to spread that demeanor to others through workshops.
It's beneficial to everyone when a class discussion consists of young adults who come from different walks of life and have passionate attitudes and beliefs about certain things.
But this variety of background is most effective when the participants are respectful and know how

to communicate with everyone. The classroom should be a stimulating environment, where arguments, agreements and points can be made, and slander and verbally abusive statements, even if unintentional, should be avoided.
Instructors should set aside a class for the presentation of the program, which also includes information on current events and anti-oppression resources. Students should encourage instructors to offer the program and participate in the peer facilitation.

Homeopathy is nothing more than a delusion of dilution
Medicine can be frightening. After being bombarded with new drugs
The practice of homeopathy is this: a patient comes in with a certain list of symptoms, such as headache, vomiting, etc. In order to correct this, the homeopath uses the so-called Law of Simillars (which is not an established scientific law). This is the idea that the same chemicals that can cause the symptoms can also be used to treat them. The practitioner then takes the chemicals that can induce headaches or vomiting and dilutes them in huge proportions essentially removing all active ingredients. This final diluted homeopathic remedy is sold to the patient to cure the illness.
But instead of hastily subscribing to a non-conventional medication, the true efficacy and characteristics should be explored to decide whether this therapy can actually be beneficial. Homeopathy is one such alternative to conventional medicine. It may be appealing on the surface, but it lacks any basis in science or evidence.
new combinations, new therapies. new doctors and even potentially a new health care system, it is all too easy to succumb to the superficial appeal of alternative methodologies of medicine.
Homeopathy is certainly not natural (not that the term natural has any bearing on health), but,
Sai the Science Guy
rather, is a bizarre, scientifically-unsupported process. The rationale for the therapy relies upon the homeopathic belief called the Law of Infinitesimals (again, not a true scientific law), the idea that the more diluted a substance is, the more powerful it becomes.
BY SAI FOLMSBEE
stolmsbee@kansan.com
This principle violates centuries of chemistry and physics research and is positively absurd in the context of modern advances in chemistry. It even defies the dose-dependent method of treatment that pharmacists have established since the beginnings of medicine. To base an entire philosophy of medicine on something so scientifically implausible is both foolish and dangerous. On top of that, the best methodological reviews of the scientific research show that homeopathic remedies are statistically indistinguishable from placebos.
Although, theoretically, homeopathic remedies are essentially diluted to nothing, they still do pose many risks to the consumer. For
Even the true and well-prepared homeopathic remedies pose a real danger to consumers. Although these may be biologically inert, they draw patients in with false hope and remove them from real treatments and help that conventional medicine can provide. Some homeopaths even advocate that their patients reject vaccines, antibiotics and cancer drugs. This abducts patients away from potentially lifesaving help from doctors and treatments.
instance, there have been cases of arsenic toxicity in patients who took improperly prepared homeopathic remedies. Furthermore, some over-the-counter pharmacy supplements claim to be homeopathic, but in fact do contain dangerous levels of chemicals. The homeopathic cold remedy Zicam was recalled by the Food and Drug Administration after concerns that the high levels of zinc could permanently damage a person's sense of smell.
On the surface, homeopathy has a meticulous methodology and alluring treatments. But after scrutiny of the scientific evidence behind it, it has little value to consumers. Although homeopathic treatments are diluted, its proponents are the ones truly deluded.

morning before getting ready is turn on my laptop. Checking e-mail and Facebook are practically ingredients in my breakfast. On the way to class, I attach my earbuds while walking. When I'm home, I spend most of my nighttime sitting in front of some kind of screen reading, watching sitcoms or socializing with friends.
I cannot deny my unconscious addiction to one kind of "soma," which is mentioned by Aldous Huxley in his 1931 science fiction novel "Brave New World." In the story, "soma" is a hallucinogen that takes users on an eniobable trip.
The similarities between the predictions Huxley made 70 years ago and the reality of today are stunning.
In that imaginary world, people are nurtured in conditioning centers instead of by traditional reproduction: Happiness is rooted in taking soma, having sex for fun and living in a world without comparisons and competition.
We are living in a technology-driven era, where almost everyone is dependent on some form of technology. Technology never loses ground as our dose of "soma." Take, for instance, the common scene on campus of busy students walking to class with their heads down and fingers moving swiftly on tiny keypads.
It is almost comical how, even with rising obesity rates, finger agility still remains intact due to this daily "training."

Personally, I would rather receive an actual birthday greeting than a Facebook message attached with abbreviated words and emotions that are not intelligible enough to convey genuine emotion. Why don't we just pick up the phone and call or even meet up with the person and talk, instead of texting someone who sits just next to us?
For all our generation has done to advance technology, it's ironic that the technology is now controlling our lives. Science fiction stories like "Brave New World" are fun to read. Let's just make sure they stay fiction.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Apparently I'm not the only one disgruntled by the hulking presence of the Oread Hotel. As I'm sure many of my fellow students noticed last Monday and Tuesday, the hotel was boldly endowed with a brand-new paint job, courtesy of (that is, generously donated by) some unknown and obviously well-meaning graffiti artist.
To anyone with an eye for aesthetic, the painting was beautiful, before its untimely demise at the hands of the hotel. During its brief existence, it implored any who looked at it to "SHOUT PEACE" in brave, white, simple characters against a backdrop of subtle blue. Its composition both fit solidly into the building's broad, square architecture, and, more impressively, gracefully mimicked the Kansan sky bevel.
The hotel owners quickly and unceremoniously destroyed it. Why? Oread general manager Nancy Longhurst claimed, on behalf of the hotel employ, to be "saddened by this kind of vandalism." What kind? The kind that
inspires peace? The kind with constructive ideals? The kind carefully integrated into the space it occupies?
I must concede that "vandalism" is inextricable from its intrinsic negative stigma, and that this case, by law, is no exception. However, this case was neither directly destructive nor was it insulting, violent, or negative. The painting, instead, encouraged self-expression, with a purpose of unity between people—a lesson the hotel higher-ups, judging by their abrupt destruction of the artwork, clearly ought to consider.
The Oread's heinous obliteration of a benign and beautiful work of art—of vandalism—is not unjustified. However, it does suggest a deeper concern, and I hope I'm not the only one wondering: Will the Oread Hotel really emerge as a token of neighborhood peacemaking, or instead as some elaborate agent of ill will—will the gifts we receive reveal themselves ridden with some disease that ultimately undermines us where we live?

Archeologist Eilat Mazar, center in red, who is leading the excavation of newly discovered fortifications outside the Old City walls, talks to journalists in Jerusalem Monday. Mazar says ancient fortifications newly excavated in Jerusalem date back 3,000 years to the time of the Bible's King Solomon and offer evidence for the accuracy of the biblical narrative.
Ancient walls found in Jerusalem
ASSOCIATED PRESS
If dating is correct, finding would support Bible story
JERUSALEM — An Israeli archaeologist said Monday that ancient fortifications recently excavated in Jerusalem date back 3,000 years to the time of King Solomon and support the biblical narrative about the era.
If the age of the wall is correct, the finding would be an indication that Jerusalem was home to a strong central government that had the resources and manpower needed to build massive fortifications in the 10th century B.C.
That's a key point of dispute among scholars, because it would match the Bible's account that the Hebrew kings David and Solomon ruled from Jerusalem around that time.
While some Holy Land archaeologists support that version of history — including the archaeologist behind the dig, Eilat Mazar — others posit that David's monarchy was largely mythical and that there
was no strong government to speak of in that era.
Speaking to reporters at the site Monday, Mazar, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, called her find "the most significant construction we
mentioned in the Book of Kings.
The fortifications, including a monumental gatehouse and a 77-yard (70-meter) long section of an ancient wall, are located just outside the present-day walls of
have from First Temple days in Israel."
"It means that at that time, the 10th century, in Jerusalem there was a regime capable of carrying out such construction."
"It means that at that time, the 10th century, in Jerusalem there was a regime capable of carrying out such construction," she said.
Based on what she believes to be the age of the fortifications and their location, she suggested it was built by Solomon, David's son, and

Jerusalem's Old City, next to the holy compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.
Archaeologists have excavated the fortifications in the past, in the 1860s and most recently in the 1980s.
According to the Old Testament, it was Solomon who built the first Jewish Temple.
But Mazar claimed her dig was the first complete excavation and the first to turn up strong evidence for the wall's age: a large number of pottery shards, which archaeologists often use to figure out the age of findings.
Student sues school
LEGAL
Lawsuit alleges school officials spied on students with webcams
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA - A student who accuses his suburban Philadelphia school district in a lawsuit of spying on students via their school-issued webcams will ask district officials not to remove any potential evidence from student computers, his lawyer said Monday.
Lawyers for the Lower Merion School District are due in federal court on the issue Monday afternoon, on an emergency petition from student Blake Robbins of Penn Valley.
Lower Merion officials confirmed last week they had activated the webcams to try to find 42 missing laptops, without the knowledge or permission of students and their families. Both the FBI and local authorities are investigating whether the district broke any wiretap, computer-use or other laws.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a brief in support of the student Monday, arguing that
the photo amounts to an illegal search.
"That school officials' warrantless, non-consensual use of a camera, embedded in students' laptops, inside the home is a search cannot be doubted," the ACLU wrote in a brief filed Monday morning.
Students at the district's two high schools have taken to tapping over the webcam and microphone, even as
Robbins sued last week, alleging that Harrison High School officials took a photo of him inside his
told reporters that an official mistook a piece of candy for a pill and thought he was selling drugs.
In the wake of the outcry over the alleged spying, school district officials have said they have abandoned the practice of remotely activating the webcams. Still, the Robbinses' lawyer does not want the district to remove any information or programs from the 2,300 laptops issued to students
School officials confirmed that they activated the webcams on the laptops without knowledge or permission of students or their families.

While courts have held that students can be searched at school given "reasonable suspicion" of a crime — a more relaxed
standard than "probable cause," designed to ensure school safety — the lower standard does not apply in the home, the ACLU argued in its brief.

3 Florida students killed in accident on railroad bridge
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — Middle school students still reeling from the deaths of two classmates earlier this school year were coping Monday with the loss of three more peers who were killed by a train that struck them as they crossed a railroad bridge.
The three teenage girls, along with a teenage boy, ignored "no trespassing" signs and walked out onto the railroad trestle Saturday evening in downtown Melbourne.
Fla., a city nearly 50 miles southeast of Orlando. Onlookers yelled for the teens to run or jump into the slow-moving water of Crane Creek 20 feet below as the train approached, but only the boy made it off the 200-foot span.
Commander Ron Bell of the Melbourne Police Department said Monday that police believe the teens were taking a shortcut. Bruce Dumas, who was fishing along the creek banks below the trestle when the accident happened, said the teens had been joking around and
taking pictures before the train barreled toward them.
The teenage girls were classmates at Southwest Middle School in Palm Bay, Fla., which has had its share of tragedies this school year. Another student at the school of more than 1,300 seventh- eighth- and ninth-graders recently committed suicide, and another pupil was electrocuted last year while putting up an antenna for a ham radio. The antenna fell on power lines, also killing two family members.

Win secures Collins' place in Kansas' history

COMMENTARY
It was obvious who should carry off the Big 12 Conference Champion trophy.
"Of course it was Sherron," freshman guard Xavier Henry said.
Senior guard Sherron Collins walked of the court hoisting his fourth regular-season championship - in trophy form. He scored 17 points in the 81-68 victory against Oklahoma, but carrying the trophy was his biggest challenge of the night.
"It was heavy," Collins said. "But it felt great just to have it."
The Jayhawks, Big 12 champions 10 out of the last 14 seasons, extended their NCAA Division I record with their 53rd conference championship.
"That's one check" Collins said. "Now we can move onto the next one."
Collins didn't say what the next check was, but if one of them involves becoming the winningest player in Kansas history, he can cross that off with his 124th victory at Kansas.
He has the titles and the awards, but he doesn't have the numbers – and that's all right with him. The senior guard will never go into the history books for the most points, assists or steals, but what he has is worth much more.
"His legacy is only going to be on one thing: wins and losses," coach Bill Self said.
"We're 13-0 and it didn't seem too difficult for us," Henry said. "They say it's a real tough conference, don't get me wrong, but we've been playing good lately and it just seems like we going to keep running with it."
The Jayhawks and Collins had an historic night, but the game ball belonged to Henry who hit his first eight shots en route to scoring 23 points.
This was the first accomplishment for the Jayhawks, breezing through a 13-0 Big 12 schedule. The ride, however, isn't over and Henry isn't ready to stop.
Kansas led 26-11, but let the Sooners get eight quick points in

Jayhawks Big 12 play best of last six years
P. A.
BY MAX VOSBURGH

I'd like to imagine there is a do-to list hanging somewhere around Allen Fieldhouse. If there is, you can check Conference Championship off the list.
After defeating Oklahoma 81-68 last night in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas celebrated at least a share of its 53rd conference championship. The Jayhawks are Big 12 Conference champions for the sixth straight season. It's the only other time since 1922-27 that Kansas has won six straight conference titles.
There have been some great teams over the past six years but none of them have looked as good at this point in the season as this team has.
Now unless this team wins the national championship, you can't call them the best of the last six. But through 13 conference games, Kansas is giving the 2008 team a run for its money.
"We definitely got some similarities," Cole Aldrich said regarding this team and the 2008 national champions. "We've got a lot of talent. We've got a lot of depth."
The best mark through 13 games for the last five conference champions was last year when they were 12-1. However, that team had five losses and this team only has one. In the previous five seasons through 13 conference games, Kansas had a 10-3 record twice, 11-2 record twice and a 12-1 record once.
The layhawks are 13-0 in Big 12 play. They are 6-0 on the road and three of those wins were against ranked opponents. The national championship team was 10-3 through 13 conference games. Their three losses were on the road in conference. At this point that year, they were still struggling to figure out how to win on the road. That is something this team already proved they can do.
This team is ahead of the national championship squad in

Jayhawks lose first game, rally in second against Eastern Michigan
BY BEN WARD

Finally able to get on the field, Kansas opened its 2010 season on Monday by splitting a doubleheader against Eastern Michigan. After struggling in the first game, a 3-1 loss, the Jayhawks rebounded, earning a 9-5 victory in the second.
For now, Kansas will have to wait until this weekend to play again. As expected, tonight's game against Wichita State was postponed due to inclement weather. The teams will try to reschedule a makeup game later in the season. Barring a change in schedule, the Jayhawks won't play their first game at Hogglund Ballpark until Mar 5, when they host Iowa.
The Metrodome in Minneapolis is known for its raucous fans and incessant crowd noise. Yet For Kansas' season opener against Eastern
Michigan on Monday, a mere 20 or so people were in attendance. In front of the atypically meager crowd, Kansas followed with a similarly lackluster performance.
GAME ONE: EASTERN MICHIGAN 3. KANSAS 1
Picked by the Big 12 coaches to finish second in the conference, the Jayhawks dropped their season opener 3-1 to an Eagles team that finished 25-35 a season ago.
The Jayhawks missed junior Tony Thompson on offense, only mustering three hits and four walks compared to nine strikeouts. Much of Kansas' struggles at the plate could also be attributed to a strong outing from Eagles ace Corey Chaffins.
"He threw great. A lot of first-pitch fastballs for strikes, and when he had to, he buried his curve ball and got guys to chase," junior pitcher T.J. Walz said. "He mixed
Chaffins won the first seven innings to earn the win, allowing only one run while striking out eight. Freshman Brett Cisper worked the final two frames, closing the door on Kansas and saving the victory for Chaffins.
Walz suffered the loss for Kansas, despite battling through six-plus innings. The Omaha, Neb. native allowed two runs on seven hits and three walks, while striking out four.
The Eagles got on the board first, when junior catcher Matt Skirving led off the fourth inning with a home run, teeing off on a high fastball.
things up well."
Kansas responded right back, though, plating its lone run in the bottom half of the inning on a single by junior outfielder Jimmy Waters.
"I didn't get it in enough," Walz said. "And he hit a pretty good-sized home run."
But Eastern Michigan continued the back and forth exchange in the top half of the fifth, regaining the lead for good when junior outfielder Ken Battison hit sophomore
While Chaffins shut down the Jayhawk bats, the Eagles capitalized on a number of mistakes and manufactured a valuable insurance run in the eighth
outfielder Brent Ohrman in.
"I didn't get it enough. And he hit a pretty good-sized home run."

senior Cameron Selik and the lay-hawk bullpen. Selik tossed the first six innings, striking out five while allowing only two hits to earn the victory.
After replacing ineffective starter Kendall Lewis, Eastern Michigan did fine holding Kansas. But then the wheels fell off for the Eagles bullpen.
The Jayhawks tacked on six runs in the bottom of the eighth - all coming without the benefit of a hit. All the extra insurance proved costly, as sophomore Colton Murray struggled to close the door, allowing the Eagles four runs in their final at-bat.
Nine runs aside, Kansas' offense was still a bit sluggish, notching only four hits and leaving 12 runners on base.

Gooden continues NBA tour
MORNING BREW
A hypothetical Craigslist ad from Dallas Mavericks general manager Don Nelson:
A
For Sale: 2002 PF/C, Drew Gooden model, lots of owners and miles, but runs great! A consistent performer, this model provides 12 points and eight rebounds per game since it first hit showrooms to near universal acclaim. Despite high miles and numerous owners, neither temperament nor performance will be a problem. In fact, Sporting News named Gooden a "Good Guy in Sports" and the National Association of Basketball Coaches named him its college Player of the Year in 2002. Body also in solid condition, with past aesthetic damage thoroughly corrected. You'll never know the duck flap haircut happened! Priced to sell, don't miss this opportunity to nab a former lottery pick and propro pro with high re-sale value. Call today with best offer. Willing to listen to pretty much anything.
BY ALEX BEECHER
beecher@lanen.com
I would be shocked by two things if I stumbled upon this ad: First, that Craiglist actually had a listing for something worthwhile; and second, that the Dallas Mavericks were shopping Gooden at all. The Mavs weren't necessarily in position to supplant the Lakers as Western Conference favorites, but they certainly weren't struggling either. Gooden, while far from a star on the squad, certainly contributed to that success. So why shop him? Moreover, why does Gooden basically have a permanent
place on the shopping block?
THE MORNING BREW
That trek, with stops in Cleveland, Chicago, Sacramento, San Antonio and Dallas, now has Gooden playing for the Los Angeles Clippers. But if history has taught us anything, Gooden should probably just leave his bags packed.
For those of us who watched him mature from a talented freshman into a dominant Player of the Year at Kansas, the questions are even more difficult to answer. He had all the assets you look for in a star player: athleticism, offensive skill set, rebounding prowess, winning pedigree, etc. The Memphis Grizzlies, at least, agreed with that assessment. They liked Gooden enough to select him fourth overall in the 2002 NBA draft. But, despite a rookie campaign in which he averaged a promising 12 points per game, the Grizzlies didn't like Gooden enough to keep him around. The team shipped him to Orlando, beginning Gooden's meandering trek around the league.
In fact, why not encourage further trades? If you're going to be a
Being the league's most mysteriously well-traveled player may not be the dream career for someone who entered the NBA with the expectations that Gooden did; but there is another positive spin — Gooden would hardly be traded so frequently if he weren't universally valued.
productive journeyman, why not be the most productive journeyman? Gooden, in only eight NBA seasons, has technically played for nine teams. With plenty of prime years left, that leaves Gooden only three teams short of the record of 12, currently shared by Chucky Brown, Tony Massenburg and Jimmy Jackson.
So let's hope Gooden plays well enough in Los Angeles to maintain that value... Just not well enough for the team to keep him.

For the first time in 33 years, there is only one team from the Atlantic Coast Conference in The Associated Press Top 25.
Fifth-ranked Duke was the lone ACC team in the college basketball poll Monday, something that last happened on Dec. 13, 1977, when North Carolina was No. 5 in what was then the Top 20.
Seven other schools from the 12-team league have been ranked at some point this season: North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Maryland, Florida State, Miami and Wake Forest.
Kansas (26-1), one of five teams from the Big 12 in the rankings, is again the runaway No.1, receiving 61 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday. The Jayhawks were on top for the fourth straight week and 13th this season.
Kentucky (26-1), which was No. 1 on the other four ballots, held onto second after surviving its trip to Vanderbilt last weekend with a 58-56 victory.
Purdue, Syracuse, Duke and Kansas State all moved up one spot from last week to round out the first six. Villanova, which lost to Connecticut and Pittsburgh last week, dropped four places to seventh.
The Wildcats, Kansas, Kentucky and Duke are the only teams to remain in the top 10 all season.
West Virginia, Ohio State and New Mexico rounded out the top 10. It is New Mexico's highest ranking since being eighth on Dec.2,1997.The Lobos have won 11 straight and at 25-3 have the best record in school history after that many games.
Georgetown led the second ten, followed by Pittsburgh, BYU, Michigan State, Butler, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Tennessee and Temple.
Texas, which was ranked No. 1 last month for the first time in school history, is at the lowest ranking of the season.
The last five ranked teams were Texas, Texas A&M, Richmond, Baylor and Northern Iowa.

JUPITER, Fla. — Pitcher Kyle McCillan and third baseman David Freese shed about 15 pounds apiece in the offseason. And they're not the only St. Louis Cardinals players looking a bit more swelte this spring.
MLB
Even three-time NL MVP Pujols looks more buff, although he said he reported to spring training at the same weight as always. The media guide lists the 30-year-old Pujals as 6-3 and 230 pounds.
Manager Tony La Russa said the team has made an emphasis on better nutrition in recent seasons.

MEN'S BASKE'
Henry went 7-of-7 from the field, including 2-of-2 from long range, and hit both of the free throws he attempted to start Kansas' game with a flawless 18 points in the first half.
The rise and fall and rise again of freshman guard Xavier Henry has been well documented. Monday night, it didn't matter what Henry had done over the past four months of basketball, because for a little more than 20 minutes, he was perfect.
"I was hitting shots and taking it to the rim." Henry said.
Henry's first-half dominance of Oklahoma senior Tony Crocker forced a defensive adjustment by the Sooners that opened up the floor for backcourt mates Tyshawn Taylor and Sherron Collins, who took over in the second half.
"Hes gotten better in his decision making," Collins said. "I
think he's understanding shooting a guarded shot versus shooting an open shot. He's getting open, he's creating space. We don't care about him shooting. We want him to shoot it, because it helps all of us"
scored off the bounce, one or two dribbles, and he obviously scored off the catch. He was pretty good tonight, on a night we needed him to be good in the first half”
The most impressive part of Henry's performance was the way he carried his
points. They didn't all come from outside. They didn't all come off catch-and-shoots. They didn't all come off the dribble or posting up. It was a combination of all of
Henry sheepishly admitted that his performance Monday was about as complete a game offensively as a wing can have.
"I was just trying to be efficient and take what they gave me, and that's what I did."
"I thought he was great. Well, he was great." Self said. "He scored in traffic. He scored by posting. He

"Yeah, there's not too many other ways to score," Henry said with a laugh. "I was just trying to be efficient and take what they gave me, and that's what I did."
the above; an all-but-perfect storm of scoring ability from a wing with a loaded offensive repertoire.
Irene was already somewhat familiar with Oklahoma's roster after growing up a couple hours away from the Oklahoma campus in Putnam City, Okla. He said he played with or against "pretty much all" of the
Henryv was
Oklahoma lineup sometime in his high school career.
I'll try to provide as much accurate information as possible.
Let's re-read the image carefully.
The text is:
"It helps a little bit, because you already know how they play." Henry said. "It wouldn't even matter if I didn't cause we already do so much film work and we prepare for them so well."
Henry's ability to create shots for himself, and in doing so open up the floor for others, has long reaching implications for the Jayhawks. In Henry's slump, which started with Cornell and lasted 10 games until he scored 15 points at Texas, the Jayhawks' margin of victory was an even 10 points per game. That's still a dominant number, but it's not even half of what Kansas has averaged overall this season.
"Last two games we've come out scorching," Collins said. "I hope it stays like that, and we'll continue to feed him."

There are three games left on the schedule and the Jayhawks have no reason to fear any of them. On a night like this, Self said the goal of the coach is to win the league, and they did that tonight in satisfying fashion.
"Your goal every year is to be the best team in your respective league." Self said. "That's who you have to compete against and to do it six straight years is an unbelievable accomplishment."

Sherron Collins
SHEWNEE
Xavier Henry may have had the better statistical performance, but Monday was Collins's night. The senior guard became the single winningest player in Kansas basketball history and, fittingly, picked up his fourth Big 12 title in as many years along the way. His numbers weren't all bad either. He finished with 17 points and six assists.

Part two: Xavier Henry
Just couldn't go without acknowledging Henry's performance, and there's not a man on the team that will want to forget winning a sixth consecutive Big 12 championship. Henry was a perfect 7-for-7 in the first half and led a dominant Jayhawk performance with 23 points. Bill Self summed it up nicely: "He was great."

The Jayhawks clinched at least a share of their sixth consecutive Big 12 title. The team closest to that streak
in a major conference is North Carolina, which has topped the ACC three straight years. The Tarheels won't make it four.

"Cant describe the feeling right now. It's great. There's been a lot of hard work these last four years and the years before that. There have been a lot of greats before us and this means more. It's for the University. We did it for everybody. Words can't even explain."

OLYMPICS
Corporate sponsors shower winners with endorsements
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Apolo Ohno, the most decorated winter Olympian in U.S. history, is cashing in on more than medals. He has racked up sponsorships from Coca-Cola, Vick's, Omega, Alaska Airlines and the Washington State Potato Commission.
But while Ohno has skated and danced his way to wealth, other Olympic athletes still live with their parents and struggle to get by, working when they can and selling space on their gear to any sponsor who sees their potential.
Ohno's bronze medal Saturday in the 1,500-meter short-track speedskating event was his seventh Winter Olympics medal - a record for an American.
And he could walk away from Vancouver with deals worth millions of dollars. Since the Games began, he has begun endorsing luxury Omega watches, and other sponsors may follow soon, especially if he strikes gold in his remaining races.
"Apolo is one of the big stories of the Games, and if he makes history, the number of inquiries we can expect to get would be in the hundreds," said Peter Carlisle, a managing director of Octagon,
sports marketingagent. A gold medal often seals the deal.
"You can set everything up, but oftentimes it takes that moment for people to see the effect he has on
the general public and to act upon it." Carlisle said.

A handful of other top American athletes at the Vancouver Games, such as alpine skier Lindsey Vonn and snowboarder Shaun White,

fleeting at best. That's particularly true for the Winter Games, where some sports are quite obscure and the events attract a smaller television audience than the Summer Games.
"Over that two-week period they are very relevant, but then it can evaporate very quickly..."
"Most Olympic athletes, even if they have a huge amount of success at the Games where they are the story, it's still very challenging because the public was introduced to that athlete only a couple of weeks or months before the Games," Carlisle said. "Over that two-week period they are very relevant, but then it can evaporate very quickly because you lose that platform to be out there in front of that audience."

Even in the Olympic spotlight, one of the biggest chances to make money by advertising before a large U.S. audience is lost, said Scott Macartney, an alpine skier from Redmond.
Wash., and member of the U.S. Ski Team. The Olympics technically is for amateurs, so athletes can't wear
which provided some valuable exposure in promotions, he said. But the billboards had to be taken down during the Olympics, when advertising is reserved for official
sponsors.
"When you watch the Olympics you don't see any sponsors," Macartney said. "The one real big opportunity to make endorsement money, they don't allow."
U. S. athletes support themselves mostly with endorsements, and among skiers only about the top 10 or 15 in each discipline can make a good living, he said. The U.S. team pays for coaching, travel and lodging, and the athletes foot the rest.
Macartney regularly sells the real estate to U.S. companies trying to get exposure in Europe, where his ski races are televised.
The U.S. audience sees ski racing every four years during the Winter Olympics. Even then, only the best athletes are shown on television.
Success can change the life of an Olympic athlete dramatically.
In one season Macartney, now 32, went from living with his parents to paying off his student loans and making a down payment on his first house.
"If you ski fast, you get on one kind of podium and can make $50,000 in a day," he said. "The athlete in that race who gets 10th doesn't make anything."

Baseball season begins, Texas looks to remain on the top
Though several good teams are up to bat, it's unclear who will step up to win the title

With basketball hitting the home stretch and football gearing up for spring practices, the Big 12 welcomes baseball back for the 2010 season. The Texas Longhorns look to repeat their victory as Big 12 Champions on their quest to return to the College World Series in Omaha, but this season there are several teams looking to step up. Four South Division teams surround Kansas while a majority of teams in the North are bringing up the rear.

DeJesus happy to shift to right field
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — David Dejesus, who didn't commit an error last season and has a 153-game errorless streak, got a jolt watching television the morning of Jan. 25.
Defesus saw that the Kansas City Royals had signed outfielder Rick Ankiel.
"My first thought I was getting traded." De Jesus said Monday.
The Royals had already signed free agent outfielders Scott Podsednik and Brian
designated hitter.
"A lot of people don't have jobs, but I have a job. That's all I'm really worried about."
Delesus readily agreed to switch.
DeJesus was the Royals center
"I was like, 'Yeah, for sure,' DeJesus said. "I just want to have a spot and a job. There's a tough world out there right now. A lot of people don't have jobs, but I have a job. That's all I'm really worried about."
Manager Trey Hillman called to inform Dejesus he wanted him to move from left to right. Guillen would be the primary
"We brought in a lot of guys," Delesus said. "We had a whole bunch of outfielders."
Anderson. Mitch Maier, who started 93 games in the outfield in 2009, and Willie Bloomquist, who started 62 games in the outfield last season, were returning. Plus, right fielder Jose Guillen, who was limited to 81 games in 2009 because of injuries, was back.

fielder in 2008, but moved to left last year when they acquired Coco Crisp in a trade with Boston. This year, the Royals outfield will likely open with Podsednik in left, Ankiel in center
and Delesus in right. All three have played center and should be able to chase balls down.
"I think our outfield is really strong," DeJesus said. "It definitely strengthens our outfield, with two guys that can run and then me moving to right field, I think it makes us one of the top outfields in baseball."
Dejesus, who can be a free agent after this season, has not played right field regularly since he was a Rutgers freshman.

Connecticut overtakes top-10 team again
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARTFORD, Conn. — Kemba Walker scored 21 points and Jerome Dyson added 17 as Connecticut beat No. 8 West Virginia 73-62 on Monday night, the Huskies' third win this season over a top 10 team.
Stanley Robinson had 15 points and 13 rebounds for UConn (17-11, 7-8 Big East), which has won three straight to keep its NCAA tournament hopes alive.
The Huskies are 3-1 since coach Jim Callhoun returned from a medical leave of absence. Connecticut was 3-4 during the 23 days he was gone.
Devin Ebanks had 17 points and nine rebounds to lead West Virginia (21-6, 10-5). The Mountaineers finished the game without head coach Bob Huggins, who received two technical fouls in the final minute.
Calhoun called the game a street fight, and the teams combined for 46 personal fouls. UConn hit 30 of 42 free throws and Walker was 14 of 17 from the line.
West Virginia was 12 of 23 from the free throw line and hit just four of 18 shots from 3-point range.
UConn led by as many as 15 points in the first half, and by nine at halftime after outrebounding the Mountaineers 21-11.
But the Mountaineers whitted away at the lead in the second half, and when Ebanks followed up a missed shot with 8:44 left they were down 53-52. But they were never able to take the lead.
Stanley Robinson then followed up a missed layup by Dyson with a dunk, and Walker's steal and dunk made it 70-62.
It was 66-62 with just over a minute left when Calhoun called a timeout.
An anirate Huggins received two technical fools after calling a time-out, and Walker hit three of four free throws to ice the rame.
West Virginia committed 26
fouls and UConn was called for 20
UConn lost 6-foot-11 Ater Majok to fouls with 5 minutes left and 6-10 Gavin Edwards fouled out less than a minute later with UConn up 63-56.

Canada not living up to expectations
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER. British Columbia - Seeing how their neighbors down south have owned the podium so far, Canadian officials are giving up on their goal of winning the medal count at the Vancouver Olympics.
The concession speech by the leader of Canada's Olympic committee - "I'm not going to live in a fool's paradise and think were going to win" - is pretty realistic. Canadian athletes had only nine medals as of Monday afternoon, one less than the Americans' bronze medals.
The United States has 24 medals, most of all countries. Canada was in a three-way tie for fourth.
This white flag is another blow
So Canadians still reeling from

earning the most medals at these Winter Olympics.
With the U.S. guaranteed no worse than silver, that means the Americans can claim 25 medals, matching their total from the 2006 Turin Games, which had been their record for a Winter Olympics not held in the United States.
The Americans advanced with a 9-1 victory over Sweden in the semifinals. Canada was playing Finland later Monday to determine the opponent in the gold-medal game. The final is Thursday.

The U.S. Olympic Committee didn't offer any targets for Vancouver, but it seems safe to say the delegation has met or even surpassed the best-case scenario.

Jayhawks fall hard to Lady Raiders

Failure to grab defensive rebounds prove costly for Kansas in the Texas Tech game
BY MAX ROTHMAN

In practice, coach Bonnie Henrickson demands her team to yell "shot!" directly following every release. The routine helps those away from the ball mentally prepare for a rebound, angle their bodies toward the hoop and block the opposition from the ball.
The layhawks were near silent Sunday.
"I wish I knew," junior forward Nicollette Smith said of her team's quiet behavior. "Otherwise the final score would have been different."
Kansas yielded 21 offensive rebounds. Texas Tech turned them into 20 points and won by 17.
Sunday's 68-51 loss marked the most offensive rebounds that the Jayhawks had surrendered in a single game all season. The undesirable statistic cost Kansas an opportunity to snap a 32-year

On Sunday, forwards freshman Carolyn Davis and sophomore Aishah Sutherland combined to grab 20 rebounds.

"We were just watching the person shoot instead of getting a body into them."
"We have a lot of athleticism, but a lot of times we don't use it to our advantage." Smith said.
By allowing the Lady Raiders to gain so many second-chance opportunities, the Jayhawks' drawbacks affected more than just the score.
Highlighted by freshman guard Monica Engelman's 11 points in the first half, the Jayhawks outplayed the Lady Raiders in just about every facet of the game. Kansas even led 28-20 with under four minutes to go in the first half. But Kansas soon let up four offensive rebounds as Texas Tech went on an 11-4 run to bring the score to 32-31 at halftime.

For the Jayhawks to solidify their current bubble status to the NCAA tournament selection committee, they might have to retain their old "shot!" shouting ways. Anything to get those boards back.

"Before I got to meet him, I got to talk to his caretaker, and the first thing I asked was, 'Does he even know anything about me, who I am?' Tulowitzki said. "He said, 'Yeah, he's watched some Dodgers games and he's a big fan of baseball.'"
Tulowwitki, 25, gazed in awe at Wooden's basketball memorabilia and the listened as the Wizard of Westwood spoke about the importance of teamwork.
Tulowitzki reported to spring training Monday, three days after visiting the 99-year-old Wooden at his two-bedroom condominium in Encino. Calif. A former high school basketball star, Tulowitzki had always wanted to meet Wooden and wrote him a letter.
Agent Jeff Blank, who represents former Rockies third baseman Garrett Atkins, who went to UCLA, made sure the letter got to Wooden.
"And he really stressed that without good players, you're not going to be a good team." Tulowitzki
"When we talked, he went on to say baseball was his favorite sport. I can't necessarily say he followed my career. But he knew a little bit about me. That was awesome."
Tulowitzki said Wooden passed along knowledge that could be imparted to his Rockies teammates and give them an edge, but he declined to be specific.
The Rockies have reached the playoffs in two of the past three seasons. They got hot in mid-September 2007 and won 21 of 22 games to reach the World Series. After manager Clint Hurdle was fired on May 29 last season, the Rockies went 74-42 under manager Jim Tracy and made the playoffs as the wild card.
"I think the most important aspect is having guys buy into the team aspect and doing your part," Tulowitzki said. "If everybody does their part and tries not to do too much, we're going to do alright with the talent we have in

Mixed job market for engineer graduates
sfoster@kansan.com
BY SAMANTHA FOSTER
Carla Hines is evidence that the job market for engineering graduates isn't as good as it used to be. "It works. Health." Hines said.
Hines, a 2007 graduate from Shawnee, said she worked as a mechanical engineer at a power engineering company in Stilwell for more than two years before being laid off in October. She hasn't found a new job yet, which was why she returned to campus earlier this month for the Engineering Career Fair.
"It was kind of a shock," she said about losing her job.
Although engineers are in demand, the engineering job market is down about 20 percent from where it was two years ago, Stuart Bell, dean of the School of Engineering, said. Bell said a majority of the school's graduates received two or three job offers, but with the current state of the job market, students were receiving fewer offers. Bell estimated that the decrease in job opportunities meant that about 10 percent fewer placements were occurring.
"It's not a bad market; it's just not as healthy as it is been in the last five years." Bell said. "Our best students are going to get jobs."

Debaters seek KU's sixth title
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com
When Dylan Quigley was a freshman in high school, he joined the debate team to prepare for a career in politics. His career choice has since changed, but Quigley is still debating.
"I loved the intellectual combat aspect of it," Quigley, a senior from Wichita, said. "It's one of the more exciting things you can do as a nerd, and it's a whole lot of fun."
Quigley will participate in the ultimate intellectual battle at the National Debate Tournament March 19-22. Chris Stone, a senior from Derby; Patrick Kennedy, a sophomore from Leawood; and Sean Kennedy, a junior from Leawood, also qualified for the
tournament, which will be held at the University of California- Berkeley.
Kansas has competed in the tournament 43 straight times, reaching the final four 14 times and winning five championships. Kansas debaters Brett Bricker and Nate Johnson won the tournament last year.
To prepare for the debating season, debaters spend up to 40 hours per week researching and practicing a topic, coach Scott Harris said. Nine assistant coaches, who are full-time graduate students in communications, help the team research.
"The common estimate is that the amount of work a debater does in the year is equivalent to the amount of work a master's student will do on their thesis." Stone, who will be making his
fourth appearance at the tournament, said.

The time commitment makes it difficult to form lasting relationships with people outside of debate, Quigley said. But it also opens up new friendship

around the nation," Quigley said.
Involvement in debate takes its toll on the typical college experience, but Quigley said he didn't regret missing out on a crazy spring
break in Cancun or Florida to prepare for competitions.
"I made the decision when I got here at some point that this is what I wanted, and this is something I wanted to be good at." Quigley said.
Harris said that debaters needed this sort of passion because they didn't receive much in financial gain or public praise.
"Debate is something where we don't have massive crowds greet us when we come back," Harris said.
Kansas debate isn't about money or glory for Quigley. He said debating was special to him because of the team's history at Kansas, something he realized while attending an alumni reunion.
"I walked into our squad room where we have banners for all our final fours and championships that KU has gotten, and to be part of that and maybe hang my own banner is something pretty significant," Quigley said.

Accomplished politician visits Dole

Brown spoke with Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute. Throughout
the evening, Brown discussed the obstacles and achievements in his
political career with the audience.
In 1964, Brown was elected to the California State Assembly. He was one of four African-American members of the 80-person assembly. In 1980, Brown, a democrat, unexpectedly won the Speaker's office with the support of what he called a coalition of Republicans and Democrats. Brown said that at that time, there had been a strong division between the two parties, but his group's goal was to bring the two together.

Protests arise over land protection
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ating resentment in some energy-rich states.
SALT LAKE CITY - The possibility that the federal government could designate millions of acres in the West as national monuments and off-limits to development is stoking fears and generating resentment in some.
An internal U.S. Department of the Interior document lists 14 sites in nine states that could be designated as national monuments through the federal Antiquities Act, which gives presidents the

authority to designate monuments without congressional approval. Three sites in Alaska and Wyoming are listed as worthy of protection but ineligible for monument designation.
The Interior Department insists the document is a product of brainstorming and nothing more.
Many people are still furious about then-President Bill Clinton's designation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in 1996 after his administration made public assurances that it had no plans to do so. Conservative state lawmakers Tuesday moved forward with legislation that would allow the state to use eminent domain to take federal land that they hope will spark a U.S. Supreme Court battle.

I Gov. Gary Herbert said he doesn't have any reason not to trust Salazar, but it's a harder sell among some state residents.

"It's sort of a spectacular scenic landscape. It's not surprising that the administration would try to protect it," said Heidi McIntosh, associate director of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. "The main conflict, generally speaking in both Cedar Mesa and the San Rafael Swell, is the out-of-control off-road vehicle use."
I can see that happening right now. That's my biggest concern," said Gary Wilcox of Hurricane, in southern Utah.

let somebody else move forward." Brown said. "I was convinced that I was never going to progress on pure, unadulterated democratic partisanship."
Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN
A crowd of more than 100 people attended the Willie Brown's speech at the Dole Institute of Politics Tuesday evening. Brown told the audience of his experiences as a politician in California.
AIRPORT BANK
By building a coalition between the two parties, Brown gained the trust of his fellow assembly members. At election time, Brown won the speaker position with the support of 28 Republicans and 23 Democrats.
Brown retained his position of speaker for 15 years, the longest term served by anyone in the state of California. His career as Speaker ended only because of the imposition of term limits
under new California law, the Speaker of the California State Assembly can now hold his or her position for only 15 months, at most.
"When they put term limits on the ballot, it became clear that I would be done in politics," Brown said.
But, soon, Brown learned that the incumbent mayor of
San Francisco wasn't considered to be a strong candidate. Originally, he had no interest in local government. In fact, Brown said, much of his work in the Assembly had caused him to move away from any prospect of working in local government.
"I only wanted to be Speaker; that's all I ever wanted to be," Brown said. "But then I ran for mayor, and discovered I should have been mayor all my life."
Brown said he realized that as mayor, he could do wonderful things. He said that he took the city of San Francisco, a city he said was dormant, and turned it around economically and politically, making it an attractive and desirable place to live.
George Dungan, a senior from Lincoln, Neb., said he appreciated Brown's comments and his openness with the audience.
At the end of the evening, Brown stressed the importance of the involvement of youth in public service. Brown said that the calling to work in the field was important in his life, and that it should be important in the lives of youth.
"I thought he was an inspiration," Dungan said. "He was candid and refreshing — it was wonderful how candid he was."

Hotel fire causes $5,000 in damages
Preliminary damages resulting from a fire at the Oread Hotel Monday are estimated at $5,000, according to a report released by the Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical.
According to the report, the fire was caused by a "spontaneous combustion from linens that had absorbed cooking oil and were placed in a confined laundry basket."
Emergency vehicles responded to several fire alarms at the Oread Hotel, 1200 Oread Ave., around midnight Monday morning.
Hotel guests were briefly evacuated from the building before they were allowed back into the hotel lobby where they waited for the smoke to clear and the fire alarms to stop sounding. Among those evacuated were players and staff for the Oklahoma men's basketball team, which was in town for the game against Kansas
Monday night.
Jozsef Szkendrei, Oklahoma strength and conditioning coach, waited in the hotel lobby and watched over a canvas bag full of players' cell phones that had been turned in to him earlier in the night. Oklahoma players waited in the Bird Dog Bar on the main floor.
Jimmy John's workers, who occupy the same building as the Oread Hotel, were also told to leave their shop briefly as emergency personnel investigated the situation.
Chase Dahnke, a Jimmy John's worker, said the store was out of commission for only about five minutes before employees were able to go back to making sandwiches.
The restaurant's delivery service was halted for the night because its drivers could not get around the surrounding fire trucks.

IOBS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Bell said he expected the job market to pick up again within the next year or two because demand for engineers was still increasing. He said although companies were not making as many job offers now, they would have to hire more engineers later to make up for the current deficit. He said that companies were starting to get more projects and that in three or four years they would be scrambling to hire enough engineers to work on them.
"What's going to happen is that when we come out of this, next year or the year after that, not only are they going to be at a higher level, they've got to fill this hole that they're created," Bell said.
Joe Curran, a December 2009 graduate, was hired as a field engineer for Schlumberger, a Lawrence-based company that provides services to all major oil
companies, through the career fair. He said finding a job was both easier and harder than expected.
"When I came into the program, most graduates would get five to six offers." Curran said. "I think the case with engineers, even though they're in demand, getting one offer that looks pretty good and taking it has kind of been the case for a lot of people."
The Engineering Career Center surveys graduates six months after graduation in an attempt to record how many are employed. Out of 271 May 2009 engineering graduates, 80 percent said they were employed or in graduate school. That is down 15 percent from 2005, when 94 percent of the 255 graduates said they were employed or continuing their education. About 75 percent of graduates responded to the surveys.
Bell said the oil industry was
doing well right now, which made it an exception to the general drop in the job market. This is good for the school's mechanical and civil
engineering students, who made up 41 percent of the 271 May 2009 graduates who responded to the survey.
The school offers 10 majors, and the number of students graduating with those majors
to seven in 2009. The number of computer engineering majors went from 33 to nine during those years - a 73 percent decrease.
"You never know in this economy.I'm just trying to cast a wide net and see what happens."
changed dramatically between 2005 and 2009. The number of aerospace engineering graduates increased from 12 graduates in 2005 to 26 in 2009. The largest increase was in the number of engineering physics majors, which increased from one in 2005
DAVIS MORGAN Newton senior
Bell said the school was at capacity for the total number of students and was turning out as many graduates as possible. He said engineering schools were not able
to meet the industry demand for engineers.
"I think we have more job offers than we have students," Bell said.
Nonetheless, engineering students who are trying to find jobs or internships are worried about their employment prospects.
Davis Morgan, a senior from Newton, said he went to the career fair to find an internship but wasn't sure of his prospects.
"You never know in this economy," Morgan said. "I'm just trying to cast a wide net and see what happens."
Evan Rose, a senior from Hutchinson, said he didn't expect to find a job at the career fair. He said he wanted to make contacts among the recruiters.
"It's a gateway, a way to get in with companies instead of just applying blindly online," Rose said.
Many of the recruiters at the career fair were University alumni. Linda Sims, a 1979 graduate and the U.S. basestocks sales manager for ExxonMobil, said her company hired a lot of engineering graduates from the University. She said the man who hired her as a graduate
was also a Kansas graduate.
"We've had really good luck hiring Jayvah engineers." Sims said.
Bell said he hoped engineering students who were concerned about the job market would put more effort into preparing for their job searches.
He said that students should make sure their grades reflected that they were good students and that they should also have internships.
"I think if they do these things, they'll have good opportunities," Bell said.
Hines said she planned to talk to 13 companies at the career fair and hoped she would find a job through talking to the recruiters.
"I'm keeping my fingers crossed." Hines said. "I've prayed about it — I guess I'm hopeful."

EDITORIAL BOARD
Responsibility of housing conditions should be shared
The condition of the houses in the student ghetto has increasingly worsened
Most residents of the student ghetto only live there temporarily. This limited time frame generally results in a lack of effort to maintain the quality of the house. It's not uncommon for floors to be left unswept and un-mopped, windowsills un-dusted and refrigerators un-cleaned. While these things may seem small, they add up over time. The people who suffer the most from these inconsiderate actions are students
The appeal of living in the student ghetto, aside from the convenient location, is the social aspect of it. It is a concentrated area of students who choose to live in the area but suffer from the quality of the houses.
Rick Newell, a senior from Mission Hills, has lived at 9th and Tennessee Streets since August. Newell said that location of the student ghetto was an important part of his decision on where he would live.
Newell said that most
improvements to the property have been from his own efforts. His landlord fixed the front porch of the house, but aside from that, Newell has been responsible for all upgrades. Newell said that when he moved in, the basement was filled with broken ceiling tiles and other damages left over from when the house was remodeled. Newell cleaned up the basement and put in new blinds.
Although students should follow Newell's lead and work to improve their living conditions where they can,they should also hold their landlords accountable for maintaining livable conditions.
Brian Jimenez, code enforcement manager for the City of Lawrence, said that it was required for landlords to provide their tenants with a "code-compliant" building.
Jimenez said that landlords were generally held responsible

for plumbing, electrical and structural conditions. They are also required to supply tenants with adequate hot and cold water, smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. A complete list of landlord responsibilities can be found on the city's website.
According to the Landlord Tenant Act, any time tenants feel that their houses are not in compliance with code they can request an inspection. Jimenez said that an inspection is a free city service. An inspector can be to a house within 24 hours of a request. Students who think their house is not up to code should take advantage of the free service and schedule an inspection.
When students move into a house that has not been treated well, they are left with the unsavory option to clean up the previous tenants' mess or to just leave it as is and make do.
Students should take responsibility for maintaining the quality and cleanliness of houses. They should make sure that their house is up to code and to hold their landlord accountable for their responsibilities. Doing so only ensures the quality of living in a fun and convenient student area.

ETIQUETTE
Crossed wires in phone etiquette
In the ancient days when people could only communicate via snail mail or landlines, there were a few basic rules about telephone etiquette. Today, with cell phones, text messaging and e-mails, the lines get blurred. I'm here to clear up the confusion.
Let's start with answering cell phone calls. As a general rule, don't do it at the dinner table. If it's absolutely necessary, ask to be excused and step away from the table. I always try to consider what I'd do if I were at home eating dinner with my parents. If my phone rang, I'd apologize and silence it.
Answering a phone in the middle of a meal is basically saying. "This call is more important than you" That's definitely not the message I want to send to those I care about. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but more likely than not the caller will leave a voicemail and can be contacted later.
Texting has created an entirely new social issue for our generation. It's so simple. Many of us can even text quietly under the table without breaking eye contact with others. But just because it's possible, doesn't mean it's politic. I'm guilty of responding to a text while I'm out, but I do my best to avoid engaging in long, drawn-out

Manners Made Easy
Fancy smart phones. Blackberries and iPhones have made e-mails available instantly Unlike calls and texting, there's no real reason to e-mail someone if you are with others. An e-mail is probably going to take a while to formulate and thus should be saved for when the appropriate time is available.
text conversations. If it's just a quick response to a question, do it fast and move on.
turn off cell phones in movie theaters, at weddings, funerals or baptisms and while in the car with others. There is nothing worse than being trapped in a confined space with someone chatting away on his cell phone. Avoid talking too loudly and about inappropriate topics in public. In the end, it's all about being considerate of those around us.
BY RICHELLE BUSER
For those living under a rock,
Keep in mind that although it's convenient, text messages and e-mailings are not replacements for phone calls or real life interaction with other people. Relationships and friendships can only flourish so far through texts. If someone is important, give him or her a call and plan to meet up.

HUMOR
Recognize 'threat' posed by the elderly
Old people. Since the dawn of man (or, more accurately, 70 to 80
years after the dawn of man), they have provided wisdom, perspective and comfort to younger generations. Weakened by their age, they are generally harmless; the worst they can do is kill a conversation.
Last month, 78-year-old actor Rip Torn broke into a Connecticut bank. Both he and his gun were loaded at the time.
Until now. It seems as though thievery has become a popular misdeed for the septugenarian set.
Earlier this month, a 73-year-old Florida man took $600 from three different banks. He was unarmed, instead convincing tellers to hand it over with a written note and a stare that could pierce the thighbones of an elephant.
This disturbing trend has heretofore gone unnoticed and unreported in the mainstream media, but thankfully I am here to alert the public about the recent rash of wrinkly robbers. I believe it is my journalistic duty to whip the citizens of this great nation into a panicked frenzy over what appears to be the greatest emerging threat to the very fabric of our society.
I think it's safe to say that Grandpa can no longer be trusted.
These robberies, which I have dubbed "Crimewave 2010: The Elderly Menace", mean that we need to exercise caution where we once practiced nonchalance and to be vigilant where we once looked the other way.
Under Observation
Old people are everywhere. What's worse is that they blend in so perfectly; they look just like you or me, only several decades older.
I urge policemen to be on the lookout for old people driving on our nations streets and highways. Pull each and every one of them over, because the odds are they have a Glock and a

couple of empty burlap sacks in the trunk.
They'll almost certainly play innocent, saying things such as, "I'm just going to the pharmacy to have my arthritis medicine refilled" or "I'm visiting my grandchildren" or "Where am I?"
Don't believe them! Excuses are like cat nip for old people. Rip Torn blamed it on the alcohol. The Florida man said he would pay the banks back. Nice try, gentleman, but we've already caught on to your little schemes.
Those of us who don't have a badge need to do our part, as well. See an old man loitering on a park bench? He's not feeding pigeons. He's plotting his next bank job. Report him. Grandma trying to get you to come to Bingo night? You're liable to end up as a hostage, mere collateral in her ruthless bid for wealth. Report her. It's bid for our own good.
But consider the source:
Benjamin Franklin. He lived to
the age of 84. Whose side do you
think he was on?
My detractors will say that these measures are rash, overblown and irrational. Undoubtedly, they'll dig up that old quote, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor安全"
Until old people stop robbing banks, we need to do whatever is necessary to ensure our survival Even if it takes us 70 years.

Respect Rock Chalk chant
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I've been listening to the Rock Chalk chant at the end of our basketball games this year and have been growing more and more frustrated.
I would like to suggest to the KU student section members who insist on whooping and hollering between each Rock Chalk chant, that they watch some of our away games on television. KU alums often manage to fill those arenas with enough fans we can reliably hear the "Rock Chalk" chant at the ends of those games. Even at those away games, the chant clearly fills the arena — those who are uncertain how the chant should sound, should listen to the alums who have traveled to those away games to represent KU.
If KU didn't have such a long, proud basketball tradition, it would be fine to tinker with
cheers. But the Rock Chalk chant has been passed down from student to student for literally generations. My children sing it at the ends of games at our own home. The Rock Chalk chant is a nationally known marker for our program. It is unique.
Please, students, cheer the chant the way it's supposed to be cheered. I can tell that there are students in the student section who are resisting the "Wooo!" pressure during the chant. I encourage them to continue resisting, and to remind the KU "fans" around them who are whooping between Rock Chalk chants, that this is KU, not KSU or some other school with less tradition.
Rock Chalk Jayhawks!

Proponents of raw milk advocate for loosened laws
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa — Debate about the health attributes and risks of raw milk is spilling into state-houses and courtrooms across the United States as proponents of unpasteurized dairy products push to make them easier for consumers to buy.
Supporters of the raw milk cause say pasteurization, the process of heating milk to destroy bacteria and extend shelf life, destroys important nutrients and enzymes.
"We have new science today that shows raw milk contains ... enzymes that kill pathogens and strengthens the immune system," said Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Washington-based Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit group pushing for increased access to raw milk.
Enzymes and other nutrients are "greatly reduced in pasteurized
Public health officials disagree, say raw milk carries an increased risk for bacterial contamination that can lead to illness and even death.
The CDC said not all foodborne illnesses were reported, meaning the actual number is likely higher.
More than 1,500 people became ill from drinking raw milk between 1993 and 2006, according to the most recent data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, 185 were hospitalized and two died.
Fallon Morell said there also had been illnesses and deaths related to pasteurized products and that linking illnesses to raw milk was not an accurate assessment of the nutritional benefits of drinking unpasteurized milk.
The sale of raw milk is prohibited in 23 states, although seven of them let people get milk through so-called herdshare programs, in
which customers can buy owner ship in a cow in return for raw milk from the animal.
Retail sales of raw milk is allowed in nine states and 19 allow the sale of raw milk from a farm directly to an individual.
The Iowa lawsuit filed last month challenged the state's ban on herds share agreements.
Raw milk advocates said governments should step out of the way and let people buy products they want.
Lawmakers in seven states have introduced measures this year seeking to change laws governing raw milk. The Farmer to Consumer Legal Defense Fund also has filed lawsuits in five states challenging various aspects of laws regarding raw milk.
Fallon Morell, of the Weston A. Price Foundation, notes Amish farmers in Pennsylvania are "making a fortune" selling raw milk.

Samantha Lyn Frazier, 35, of Florida, talks Monday about a gunshot that hit the abdomen at the Egg Harbor Township, NJ, home where she was staying. Frazier was shot while entering an Atlantic City bar to get a drink early Saturday morning.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A Florida woman said her love handles saved her life when she was shot entering an Atlantic City bar. Samantha Lynn Frazier said she heard two pops when she walked into Hermans Place early Saturday.
The 35-year-old then felt pain and saw blood on her hand after she grabbed her left side. Atlantic City police said Frazier was an innocent bystander.
Detective Lt. Charles Love said the gunman was aiming for a man who escaped with a bullet hole in his down jacket.
The suspect remains at large. Frazier told The Press of Atlantic
City that "I could have been dead. They said my love handles saved my life."
that she had been "hollinger" that she wanted to lose weight. She now said "I want to be as big as I can if it's going to stop a bullet."

Shooting occurs near Columbine
CRIME
LITTLETON, Colo. — Colorado authorities said two teenagers were shot at a suburban Denver middle school that's just three miles from Columbine High School, the site of one of the nation's deadliest school shootings.
West Metro Fire officials said Tuesday's shooting happened at about 3:30 p.m. The two victims are expected to survive.
Authorities said they have arrested a suspect. It's unclear whether the suspect or the victims are students.
The mother of one student, Sheri Hasse, said the shooting happened as students were boarding buses, and at least one victim was shot outside the school.

Ex-partners clash over child custody
COURT
CUTLAND, Vt. — A Vermont judge overseeing a custody battle ordered the arrest Tuesday of a Virginia woman who renounced homosexuality, became an evangelical Christian and disappeared with the young daughter she had with her ex-partner.
Judge William Cohen found Lisa Miller of Forest, Va., in contempt of court and issued the arrest warrant.
"I hope the judge's order today gives law enforcement the tools they need to find my daughter," Miller's former partner, Janet Jenkins, said after the hearing, holding up pictures of the girl, Isabella, and asking anyone who has seen her to contact police or the Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Jenkins' attorney said it would be up to the Rutland County state's attorney, Marc Brierre, to seek a national arrest warrant on felony charges of custodial interference.
Miller and Jenkins were joined in a Vermont civil union in 2000, and Isabella was born to Miller in 2002. The couple broke up in 2003, and Miller moved to Virginia.
Cohen initially awarded custody to Miller and gave Jenkins liberal visitation rights. But Cohen ordered a switch in custody in November after finding Miller in contempt of court for denying Jenkins access to the girl.
A switch in custody had been scheduled for Jan. 1, but Miller and Isabella didn't appear. At a court hearing last month, Cohen gave Miller 30 more days to appear.

Detroit 111 operators Sharon Nichols and Terri Sutton sign papers June 9, 2006, in the 36th District Court in Detroit. A 7-year-old boy testified that a 911 operator dismissed his call as a prank when he called about his mother's collapse. The mother was found dead three hours after the call, taken by Sharon Nichols. Soon 911 calls may no longer be public record.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Linda Casey dialed 911 and screamed, "Oh, God!" over and again into the phone after finding her daughter beaten to death in the driveway of their North Carolina home.
Later that day, she heard the 911 recording on the local news and vomited.
"This was not only the most painful thing I have ever been through, it should have been the most private," she said in an e-mail.
Because of situations like Casey's, lawmakers in Alabama, Ohio and Wisconsin are deciding whether to bar the public release of 911 calls.
Missouri, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Wyoming already keep such recordings private.
But generally, most states consider emergency calls public records available on request, with exceptions sometimes made for privacy reasons or to protect a police investigation.
"Nationally there is a growing concern about the release of audiotapes that don't involve newsworthy people or events — just things that people like to hear because of their sensational nature," said Sonny Brasfield, executive director of the Association of County

Our decision to use such recordings depends primarily on their relevance to important news, not the atmospherics."

Junior second baseman Sara Ramirez fields a ground ball Saturday afternoon against Baylor after being charged with an error prior to the play.
Kansas deflected Baylor 7-3 during the first game of a Saturday double-header.
Four weekend tournaments put Jayhawks on the road again
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com
twitter.com/zgetz
In the first 24 days of the softball season, Kansas will play 19 games in a row away from its home field in four different weekend tournaments. These tournaments allow Kansas to not only travel to warmer states in winter but also to get a crack at some of the nation's top teams.
In total Kansas will play six tournaments in as many weeks. The tournaments are a good way to prepare for tough Big 12 Conference play, in which five of the 10 softball teams are ranked in the top 25.
Coach Megan Smith said it was difficult to prepare for five games, play them and then get ready to play five more in the next
weekend. She said it was best to break down the games into parts to try and stay focused.
"We take it game by game and inning by inning," Smith said. "We have very small goals to accomplish so we don't get overwhelmed with the big picture of five games."
Smith also keeps the team in routines, such as eating similar pregame meals and practicing similar on-field activities, to keep the players comfortable.
"We kind of keep it consistent so mentally they stay locked in every weekend and know exactly what's coming." Smith said.
Senior shortstop Sara Ramirez said that because most of the team members played in traveling leagues before coming to Kansas, they could easily adjust to the schedule.
"Sometimes we'd play five games
in one day," Ramirez said. "To play a whole tournament of five games in three days isn't that hard."
Ramirez said it was harder to remain mentally focused on the game at hand, especially if a team had a bad game.
"We can't focus on five games," Ramirez said. "We have to focus on one game as it happens."
When saddled with weekend tournaments, Kansas leaves Thursday during the day and gets back on Sunday. Ramirez said that the team made up time doing homework whenever it had a chance, including on bus rides and while waiting at the airport.
"We really don't get much of a personal life," Ramirez said. "This is our family. This is who we are going to be around."

WOMEN'S (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
Henrickson often mixes nine to 11 players in her lineup every game.
"The whole rotation has gotten a little different just because of Angel and Danielle going down," Henrickson said. "We've had Nic play the three, Annette play the three; Marisha has played both the three and the four. We have had to ask some kids play multiple positions because of match ups and
what defenses we've faced."
"If I see Sade or Monica pick up their second foul, I'm kind of moving to the edge of my seat a little bit more." Kohn said. "I'm looking towards Bonnie a little bit more."
Yet as perplexing as Henrickson's lineups may seem to the casual observer, others have picked up on the minor tendencies.
With nine to 11 players
consistently called upon, the jayhawks shouldn't get too comfortable in their seats on the sideline.
"Our bench has to be ready)"
Henrickson said. "Foul trouble or not, our bench has to be ready"

Kansas will strive to capitalize off its regular season, a season in which the Jayhawks set multiple school records and season best times. Their fourth place finish in the Big 12 punched the Jayhawks' ticket to the conference championships.
"We are very excited for the upcoming Big 12 Championships," coach Clark Campbell said. "This is what the team has been pointing to all year and it's time to achieve our goals. The athletes are ready to swim fast and dive well."
Kansas must fight for the Big 12 title against ranked Big 12 bees Missouri, Texas and Texas A&M. If the swimmers succeed it will be the team's first Big 12 Swimming title.

disqualified for not switching lanes while coming out of a race nearly two-thirds into the race
Kramer crossed the line with a big smile, believing he had another gold medal and Olympic record for his staggering list of feats: winner of the last three world championships at 5,000 and 10,000 meters; the world record-holder at both distances; and having already won gold and set an Olympic record in the 5,000 at this Olympics. Then Kemkers broke the news.
Just like that, Lee Seung-hoon of South Korea had the gold and Kramer moved into Olympic infantry, like the U.S. shooter who blew a sure gold medal by shooting at the wrong target during the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Kramer went into the turn on the inside and was supposed to move to the outside lane for the next lap. Held already moved over when Dutch coach Gerard Kemkers animatedly motioned for him to shift to the inside lane.
Miller's mistake wasn't nearly a colossal.
All he did was lose control and fail to finish his first run down the giant slalom course, ending his chances for a record fourth Alpine medal at a single Winter Games.
Its kind of fitting for a guy who likes to go against the grain. His Vancouver results could be called a Bode Slam; a gold, a silver, bronze and a DNF (did not finish).

Dividing sports' best names
MORNING BREW
By definition, a name is a title that identifies a person. Until we can legally change them, we have no control over what our parents decide our names will be. Sometimes this lack of power can be a blessing in disguise. The Brew breaks down some of the best names in sports history and splits them into divisions. Please do not take this too seriously. Instead, giggle as you wish and share with a friend. Also, if I forgot an essential name, you can either beat me over the side of the head with a cushioned item or just shoot me (an e-mail) and tell me what I missed. Let the name game begin!
THE PERFECT REPETITION DIVISION:
Ruben Boumtje-Boumtie
This former Georgetown center had a brief stint in the NBA and currently plays professionally in Germany. At 7-feet and 260 pounds, the Cameroonian seems to Bountje-Boumjtje (creates an action verb) every time he rumbles down the court.
God Shammgod
Mr. and Mrs. Shammgod must have had high expectations for their son. He wasn't so almighty in his longeason in the NBA, averaging just 3.1 points per game in 20 games played for the Washington Wizards.
Still, my Upper Deck Collector's Choice Shamming card remains a personal favorite.
This name might just be Webster's definition for the perfect repetition division. The former Oklahoma center's name sounds more like a Pokémon than a basketball player.
Longar Longar
P. ROSENBERG
THE FORMER AFC NORTH OFFENSIVE PLAYER DIVISION:
Housh-mazilly. Housh-yo-mama? Touraj's last name has been jumbled in both NFL Network commercials and drunken bleachers alike.
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
The Seattle Seahawk is still considered one of the finest possession receivers in the NFL, but he was cruelly underutilized this past season. He gained most of his popularity lining up next to Chad Ochocinco on the Cincinnati Bengals.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala
He was dubbed "Fuuuuuuuul" by Myron Cope, the late voice of the Steelers. The Honolulu, Hawaii, native was best known for paving paths for Jerome "The Bus" Bettis. The Pittsburgh Steelers' smash-mouth style of football ideally corresponded with this scrappy fullback.
THE NO COMMENT DIVISION:
Truckie — Yeah, no comment.
Ron Tugnutt — Boy could that for-
mer NHL goaltender tug a... I mean, no comment.
THE PERFECT FIT DIVISION:
Mookie Blaylock
One of the greatest on-ball defensive point guards in NBA history, Blaylock thrived when Lenny Wilkens coached the Atlanta Hawks.
He is one of 18 players in NBA history to record 10 or more steals in a single game.
Also, musical act Pearl Jam originally titled their band "Mookie Blaylock." After changing its name the band titled its debut album "Ten" after his jersey number.
Is this not the perfect hockey name for a battering, hit-happy defender? Ruutu was a fan favorite with the Pittsburgh Penguins and has since brought his punishing checks to the Ottawa Senators.
THE MORNING BREW
Jarkko Ruutu
Speedy Claxton
A miniscule extraterrestrial-looking fellow with blazing wheels, Craig's nickname suited his game. Despite playing alongside legends such as Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson, Claxton was never anything more than a role player.
THE SNACKS DIVISION:
Everyone's favorite breakfast item and switch-hitting, golden gloved center
Coco Crisp
fielder, Covelli is revered in a multitude of major-league cities. Crisp made the final out for the Boston Red Sox in game 7 of the 2007 ALCS with an over the shoulder grab in the deepest nook of Fenway Park. Crisp's friendly face actually looks like something that would fit right in on a cereal box.
Mark Lemongello
According to the New York Times, Lemongello was booked on charges of kidnapping his cousins and armed robbery in 1982.
Meh. Minor details. This former MLB pitcher's last name will always be sweet like citrus flavored gelatin. And that's good enough.
O. J. Mayo
Orange juice and mayonnaise sounds like a nauseating mixture, but Ovinton J'Anthony makes it work. He may have been way overhyped in his high school days, but as a Memphis Grizzlies guard he's consistently good for 18-20 points and lackluster defense on any given night.
THE KICKINGSTALLIONSIMS DIVISION:
Chief Kickingstallionsims
Grlentntys Chief Kickingstallionsims, Jr., gets a division of his own. The former Alabama State center, who stands at 7-foot-1 and weighs 255 pounds, inherited his name from his father, a member of the Navajo tribe.
Written in his bio on Alabama State's website, the Chief lists his greatest athletic feat as being honored "Best Name in College Sports" by Sports Illustrated. The best part (in case you didn't notice) — his last name is divided up into "kicking", "stallions" and then a spontaneous "sims" thrown on at the end just for the hell of it.

Shortstop awaits recovery
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. — St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Brendan Ryan figured the pain in his right wrist was never going away. He felt it in high school. He felt it early in his professional career. He felt it enough to force him to skip batting practice about half the time last season.
"I thought, this was life, this is one of these things I've got to deal with. I've got to get through it one way or another," Ryan said.
Still, he was willing to deal with it.
Now, though Ryan isn't happy about delaying his first spring training as a starter, he's relieved the pain that has hindered him for several years is gone.
surgery was scheduled. Doctors found an obstruction and determined it was more than tendinitis that was causing him discomfort.
Then, after he "complained about it enough," arthroscopic
"There's a lot of reason to be optimistic about this, having actually found something in there." he said. "I don't want to call this a success just yet, but we found something that was causing a lot of pain and now it's not there anymore."
Ryan, who took over the startin shortstop job midway through last season, expects to be ready for opening day.
He was in a soft cast for about a week before starting his rehabilitation. He arrived at spring training Monday wearing an elastic protective sleeve.
The timing wasn't good for Ryan or the Cardinals, who enter the spring with their fourth starting shortstop in four years. Now, Julio Lugo and Tyler Greene will share the position. St. Louis doesn't plan to pursue another shortstop.
"It's one of the hits we're going to take and we're taking it early, and I think we're doing the things to protect ourselves," manager Tony La Russa said. "The worst case is somebody has to play, and we have to make sure we get somebody we can win with."

The 27-year-old Ryan showed he could handle the position every day defensively last season after proving to be a valuable utility player the previous two years. He also hit .292 in 129 games.
But until he resumes hitting, Ryan will just have to watch as others try to take advantage of the opening.
"There's always guys coming up," Ryan said. "We've got plenty of guys in camp. You don't want to crack the door for anyone. Not that I'm the one cracking the door, but I want to get back on the field as soon as possible."

Junior center Cole Aldrich raises his hand after being honored with the Academic All-American award Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas won 81-68, moving to 27-1 on the season.
Aldrich captures highest honor
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cibodeaux@kansan.com
What junior center Cole Aldrich has done this season surpasses any kind of award. He impressed his teammates with the character and poise he showed while batting bronchitis and struggling with the death of a grandmother in the early goings of the season. Aldrich didn't complain or make an excuse once.
Despite all he went through, Aldrich persevered to become the No.1 scholar athlete in the nation. ESPN The Magazine announced Aldrich the CoSIDA All-American of the Year Monday, an
award given out to players who have a 3.3 GPA or higher and play significant roles on their respective teams.
"I thought bed made Academic All-American," coach Bill Self said. "I had no idea, because of all the things involved, that he would become the captain of that team."
When Aldrich decided to come back for his junior year, he did it in part because he wanted to help the team with a championship run. On a personal level, he wanted to continue excelling academically.
"He's awesome," Self said. "He came back to school in large part to win and cut down nets again, but also one of his personal goals
was to do this."
On the season, Aldrich averages 11.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game as well as a 4.0 GPA last semester. To him, it all takes the same tireless preparation.
"I try to work as hard in the classroom as I do on the court," Aldrich said. "It's one of those things where hard work continues to pay off."
Fourteen Jayhawks have appeared on the Academic All-American team, but the distinctive All-American of the year award has gone only to Jacques Vaughn in 1997 and now Aldrich this season.
Still, Aldrich wasn't ready to be
compared to his predecessor.
"I don't know if I'm as smart as lacques," Aldrich said. "I think he's a poetry major. We saw him in San Antonio two years ago and he just lets things flow off his lips. I don't quite have that."
Kansas hasn't had anyone named first-team Academic All-American since Ryan Robertson in 1999.
Self said Aldrich would feel the same way.
"Cole exemplifies everything that is right with college athletics," Robertson said in a statement. "As I look back on my own career, it is the one award that sticks out the most."
"This is an honor he will cherish long after his playing days are through." Self said.
During the Oklahoma game, with his mother and father present. Aldrich was recognized for the award, much to his family's surprise.
"I tried to keep it quiet," Aldrich said. "I hadn't really told them. I told my mom before the game and she was really excited."
But Aldrich's father, Walt, had to find out the hard way.
"He found out out there. I didn't tell him," Aldrich said, laughing. "I didn't know they were going to do that out there, but it was really cool to see his face out there."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Lineup changes with every game based on players' performances
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
There's only so many minutes to go around.
Minutes played vary by the matchup, the history and sometimes the hot hand. Just don't think that such evidence will help solve coach Bonnie Henricksons lineup puzzles.
"That's the package deal with a bench player or sixth man," senior guard Kelly Kohn said. "You never really know."
Henrickson's lineups fluctuate by the day. In a 53-49 loss at Iowa State Jan. 20, junior guard Marisha Brown played 21 minutes. During the next game, only three days later in an 81-69 loss at Oklahoma, Brown sat on the bench for the entire contest.
"If you're on the floor and not producing, you're probably not going to stay on the floor," Henrickson said. "You may have a hard time getting back on the floor if someone is producing in front of you."
Some games Kohn stays invisible serving as nothing more than an exuberant sideline cheerleader in a jersey. Others, she is the first guard off the bench — a pivotal role in an injury-depleted back-court
"Regardless if I play one, two, three, zero or 15 minutes. I've got to have the mind set that no matter what, if my number is called, I've got to be ready," Kohn said.
"In practice, people are more consistent," junior forward Nicollette Smith said. "Therefore it's giving Bonnie a chance to put more people in and give others breathers."
In a 67-60 loss against Nebraska Feb. 10, junior guard Rhea Codio watched the entire game from the sideline. Less than a week later, in a 79-72 victory against Colorado Feb. 16, Codio raked in the majority of the minutes at the point guard position. She came off the bench and played 22 minutes. Starting senior guard LaChelda Jacobs played just 18.
"If you're on the floor and not producing,you're probably not going to stay on the floor."
BONNIE HENRICKSON Coach
In Sunday's 68-51 loss at Texas Tech, Smith started but played just six minutes. Meanwhile, sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland came off the bench and logged 36 minutes, the most on the team.
"The other day, it became a massive foul trouble issue," Henrickson said.
In each game, coaches are allotted 200 valuable minutes that they may spread around as they please. Many teams divvy those minutes into an eight-player rotation.

Keep the hockey stars in Olympics
roesler@kansan.com
twitter.com/roesler8
game against Canada Sunday was possibly the last time fans will get to watch this great rivalry in the Winter Olympics at full force. The National Hockey League — the regular home of many national team stars — will not commit to letting NHL players participate in any Olympics past the 2010 games.
That means no Sidney Crosby playing for Canada. No Alex Ovechkin for Russia. Team USA would be made up of a bunch of Joe Lumberjacks because the USAs entire team consists of NHL players.
The next Winter Olympics will be held in Russia. The NHI said that not nearly as many people would be as interested in those hockey games as they are this year because of the time difference. The games in Russia would be broadcast in the U.S. between 4 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Thirty-three percent of the NHL is made up of international players who want to play for their countries once every four years in the Olympics. The NHL wants to take away this privilege because the players risk injury and the NHL doesn't bring in any revenue during the two-week Olympic competition.
This possible retraction of players is ridiculous. The Olympics is the biggest stage for international hockey.The NHL should treat the games the same way the club soccer world treats the FIFA World Cup.
The NHL is trying to expand its market in European countries by playing six games across the continent next season. Having NHL players in the 2014 games increases the fan base in Europe. That means more money, which is exactly what those owners want.
Many players from financially struggling countries rely on their NHL salaries to support their fami lies. They cannot afford to breach their contracts and play for their home countries. The NHL might capitalize on this predicament.
Soccer clubs base their seasons around the World Cup and recognize the importance of players being able to represent their home countries. The NHL should replicate this idea instead of stingly holding on to its players and money.
"To be a part of that would be a great opportunity and should continue to be an opportunity that NHL players have,"Sidney Crosby, star of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Team Canada, told the Associated Press.
Players relish the opportunity to participate in the Olympics. Taking that away from them puts them in an unfair quandary. They have to decide either to play in the NHL and earn the salary of an NHL player or to give that up and play for their home countries.
As this year's Olympic hockey tournament skates on, hockey fans all over the world should soak in every check and goal as though it might be their country's last. In four years, the big names from the NHL who give their countries hope may not be playing.

Sometimes you're playing for something more
I stepped up to the tee and prepared to hit my first golf ball in seven years.
SCOTT TOLAND
stoland@kansan.com
The Wave editor
This couldn't be that hard, I thought to myself as I looked at the par three first hole. I took a few practice swings and then I was ready. I lined up my club, took my backswing, and hoped that my ball would somehow land on the green.
But it didn't. I had dubbed it, and it was such a bad shot that I decided to tee it up again. My second try wasn't much better than my first, so I decided to stop there and let my golfing partner go ahead.
We played nine holes of golf that first day, and we decided we should play again sometime. Before we knew it, we were playing two or three rounds every week. I had discovered just how much fun it was to play a round of golf and we both couldn't wait to play again.
My 88-year-old friend Mr. Davis set his ball on the tee and prepared to tee off. After a couple of practice swings, he took a short backswing and hit his first shot in a year - a beautiful drive right down the middle of the fairway. This was just the start of many rounds of golf we played together last summer.
During my time as an intern at the newspaper in Sioux Falls, S.D., last summer, Mr. Davis allowed me to live in his home. I had wanted to start playing golf again and I quickly discovered that Mr. Davis really liked to play.
Although Mr. Davis hadn't really used his clubs in
a long time, I could tell that he still loved to play golf. I could see just how much joy he got out of playing nine holes and how much fun it was for him to be back out on the course.
I saw Mr. Davis play some good rounds of golf last summer. On one occasion, he teed off and landed his shot four feet from the pin.
"Where did it go?" he asked me.
After I finally made it to the green, Mr. Davis knocked in his putt. It was the first birdie of the summer.
"You almost hit a hole in one," I replied.
Even on the days when he didn't play as well, I could tell that Mr. Davis still had a great time.
"I think that's the last round of golf I'll ever play," he would tell me, but I knew he didn't mean it.
Playing golf last summer made me realize what it means to really enjoy a sport. I did improve my golf swing, but more importantly, I discovered how anyone, regardless of his age, can maintain his passion for a game.
The next day, we were out at the course playing again.
It's great to see someone who isn't worried about anything other than playing a sport. Sometimes I can see it at a Kansas basketball game, when the team goes on a big run and all of the players are really having fun on the court.
For a moment, a group of players can forget about the score, the crowd, or anything else, and just focus on doing what they love to do.
As we approached the green of the last hole during our final round of golf last summer, I knew it would probably be the last round I would ever get to play with Mr. Davis. It wasn't his best hole of the day, but it really didn't matter to him.
Mr. Davis and I putted out, and I could tell just how much he had enjoyed getting to play golf again.
Sometimes you get to see a person play a game who is not worried about anything else, and it's really a special thing to see. When that happens, it's no longer just about getting better at a sport or even about winning or losing.
And that's when you know it's for something more. That's when you know it's for the love of the game.

Highly anticipated game features the Big East's top two teams

The winner of the Big East will likely be determined by this game. The Wildcats and the Orange have separated themselves from the other teams in their conference, and these teams are good enough to meet up again in the Final Four. Syracuse has the home court advantage, but both of their losses this season have come in the
Carrier Dome. Scottie Reynolds has plenty of big-game experience, while Syracuse has several players who know what it takes to win big games.The Orange's defense could give the Wildcats some trouble, but Villanova has enough shooters to beat the zone. This should be a great matchup of two very good teams.

Jayhawks hold off Oklahoma
The Kansas Jayhawks defeated Oklahoma 81-68 on Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse to secure their sixth straight Big 12 regular season title. Freshman guard Xavier Henry led the way for Kansas, scoring 23 points and grabbing five rebounds. With the victory, the Jayhawks improved to 27-1 overall and 13-0 in conference play.
Senior guard Sherron Collins chipped in with 17 points and six assists in his next-to-last game in Allen Fieldhouse. Junior center Cole Aldrich was held to just seven points, but he also had 12 rebounds for the game.
Kansas held Oklahoma to 41.3 percent shooting for the game, and held the Sooners to 29 points in the first half. Freshman Tommy Mason-Griffin led Oklahoma with 17 points and eight assists. Andrew Fitzgerald added 16 points and Cade Davis scored 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
With the win, the Jayhawks are just three victories away from achieving a perfect 16-0 mark in Big 12 Conference play. Kansas has only gone undefeated in Big 12 play one time before, during the 2001-2002 season.

n. Right: Cole Aldrich and the Jayhawks are just three wins away from the historic mark
The Jayhawks have a chance to be just the second team to reach 2,000 victories in NCAA Division I history
By Kathleen Gier kgier@kansan.com
Sitting atop the NCAA rankings, the Kansas men's basketball team has been in the habit of celebrating big victories lately.
Coach Bill Self celebrated his 400th victory as a coach when Kansas captured a victory against Iowa State on Feb. 13. Self has picked up 195 of those wins at Kansas.
Senior Sherron Collins tied the record for most career victories as a Jayhawk with the victory against Colorado on Saturday. His record at this point is 123-17 during his four years, which ties the record of Raef Lafrentz, Billy Thomas and C.B. McGrath. All three played from 1995-1998.
As this year's season eases towards an end, the team is preprepping for another big victory: the magical 2,000 victory mark. Only one other school, the University of Kentucky, has reached that mark.
"To do it this fast is pretty cool and to be a part of that is definitely an honor," Scot Pollard, former player and current co-host of Rock Chalk Sports Talk, said.
The Standings
Kansas currently sits in third place behind Kentucky and the University of North Carolina in the highest number of school victories in the NCAA. Kansas has 1,996 victories and only needs four more with 14 games left in the season.
"It is a huge, huge deal!" Bud Stallworth, former basketball player and current co-host of Rock Chalk Sports Talk, said. "It really doesn't matter about the two teams ahead of us because only one of them has the 2,000 wins."
Kentucky is already well past the landmark with 2014 victories. The next two candidates are Kansas and the University of North Carolina, which is only two victories away but has lost nine of its last 11 games.
With NCAA Tournament hopes out of the picture, North Carolina has four games left in the regular season as it fights to keep its record over .500. Tonight North Carolina hosts Florida State, who it
"We are trying to surpass North Carolina at this point because obviously we can't be the first team to the 2,000, but we don't want to be the last one out of the three." Stallworth said.
defeated 80-77 last year at Florida State. After that North Carolina travels to take on Wake Forest, then return home to host Miami. The team finishes off the regular season on the road, playing against rival No.6 Duke.
"There would be nothing sweeter than to pass North Carolina and become the second team in the history of college basketball to have those 2,000 wins." Stallworth said.
Duke, Syracuse and Temple follow after the top three schools but each program is at least 100 victories away from the 2,000 victory mark.
Connecting the Programs
Stallworth is quick to point out the coaching connections between the top three schools.
Legendary Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp played for Kansas from 1919-1923. Rupp was a part of the team for the 1921-22 and 1922-23 seasons, when Kansas was later awarded the Helms National Championship for being the top team in the nation that year. He then coached at Kentucky from 1930 to 1972 and had a final record of 876-190, including four NCAA championships and one NIT championship. He ranks third among coaches, behind Bob Knight and Dean Smith, for the most career victories.
Long-time North Carolina coach, Dean Smith, also played for Kansas. With his help, Kansas won the 1952 NCAA championship. Smith coached at North Carolina from 1961-1997 and ended with a 879-254 record at the university, including two NCAA championships and one NIT championship.
"Even though North Carolina is ahead of us, the coach that won the majority of the games North Carolina has won came from Kansas." Stallworth said.
"Phog Allen coached both of those guys and gave them the knowledge and the opportunity to move into the coaching ranks to develop those other two programs." Stallworth said. "It all started in Lawrence, Kansas, no matter how you slice it."
Getting the Last Three
If Kansas wins its next three games, the team will have a chance to get its 2,000th victory against border rival Missouri at the Mizzou Sports Arena. If they win, the Jayhawks will also be presented with the Big 12 regular season champion trophy.
Looking at a top seed in the Big 12 Tournament and a top seed in the NCAA Tournament as well, it appears that Kansas could very well pass the landmark easily and keep going. Only two games behind North Carolina and 18 games behind Kentucky for the all-time victories, the race toward the next milestone will be very close with these three continually talented programs.

CENTER
With the recent superb play of guard James Anderson, Oklahoma State looks like a team that can knock off any team in the country. Anderson has scored 30 or more points four times in the last eight games,and pulled down 12 rebounds in his last game for his third double-double of the season.
If Anderson can put up numbers like that against Kansas, the Jayhawks perfect conference record could be in serious jeopardy. The 2008 National Championship team suffered one of its three conference losses in Gallagher Iba Arena and Kansas knows it's always a tough place to play.

Muonelo lit up the scoreboard early in the week against Iowa State, pouring in 31 of the Cowboys 69 points. James Anderson took his spotlight right back three days later with a 31-point, 12-rebound tour de force against the Baylor Bears, outgunning LaceDarius Dunn (14 points) in a showdown between the conference's top two scorers.

Big 12 Newcomer of the Week Xavier Henry, Kansas guard
Henry showed signs of breaking out of his recent slump in the week prior, but did so with authority in a 24 point performance against Colorado. Henry was part of a dominant offensive effort by the entire Jayhawks team against the Buffaloes, and was one of eight Jayhawks to record at least one steal on the defensive end. As an encore, Henry had 23 points in a showdown with last year's Big 12 freshman of the year, Willie Warren of Oklahoma.
PARKS
Big 12 Team of the Week Missouri
Missouri rode an 18-point game from leading scorer Kim English to defeat the stumbling Texas Longhorns, then went to Nebraska and laid a 15-point whooping on the Huskers. After those two key wins, the Tigers now sit tied for third place in the Big 12 Conference. If they can work their way into sole possession of third, or even second place, they'll get a much friendlier matchup in the Big 12 Tournament.
Quick Hitters
- With its victory over Oklahoma Monday, Kansas clinched at least a share of its sixth-consecutive Big 12 crown.
- Saturday, Kansas won its 12th conference game for the 10th consecutive season.
- Oklahoma, picked to finish third in the preseason Big 12 coaches poll, is on a five-game losing streak for the first time since March 3. 2007, after losing on the road to Kansas.
- in ESPN.com's latest Bracketology, the Big 12 is projected to have seven teams make the NCAA tournament, tied for the most of any conference.
- Kansas State's Denis Clemente averaged 24 points per game last week as the Wildcats went 2-0.

After battling hard in the first half, the Oklahoma men's team lost their bearings and fell to the Kansas State Wildcats 83-68 at Lloyd Noble Center Saturday afternoon.
The first half remained competitive the whole length. The Sooners fell early, but would fight back and take the lead several times before ending the half down 35-33.
However, the second half was a different story.
Oklahoma was outscored 48-35 in the second half. Two runs of 9-0 and 8-0 led to a half dominated by the Wildcats. Oklahoma never recovered from the runs.
"We missed some opportunities, and when you are playing against a team like that. a team that is that good, you have to take advantage of every opportunity," coach Jeff Capel said.
The Sooners managed to out-rebound the Wildcats 22-14 in the first half, which helped
the Sooners keep the game close. In the end, Oklahoma ran out of juice and were out-rebounded in the second half 18-13.
"I thought we ran out of gas in the second half," Capel said. "We were tired and they were a little bit fresher than us.I thought we did some good things,but unfortunately we didn't come out with a win."
Two freshmen, forwards Tiny Gallon and Andrew Fitzgerald, came out firing in the first half. The duo combined for 16 points and eight rebounds in the first, with Fitzgerald seeing increased minutes.
At the end of the game, Gallon finished with 10 points and eight boards in 30 minutes, while Fitzgerald had 14 and five in an uncommon 27 minutes.
"Both Tiny and Fitzgerald did some really good things in the first half;" Capel said. "They scored the ball and we did a pretty good job of blocking out in the first half.
"Tiny did a good job of making strong moves to the basket, making a short jump shot and giving us a presence down low."

OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS
Cowboys defeat No.22 Bears,82-75
By Murray Evans Associated Press — Saturday, Feb. 20
STILLWATER, Okla. — James Anderson matched his season high with 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and Oklahoma State started a four-game stretch against ranked teams by defeating No. 22 Baylor 82-75 on Saturday.
Keiton Page added 22 points for the Cowboys, who have won three straight and sit squarely on the NCAA tournament bubble. Their next three games will be at Texas, at home against Kansas and at Texas A&M.
Tweety Carter went 7 of 12 from 3-point range — hitting three from long range in the final 2 minutes — and scored 25 points for Baylor, which had a three-game winning streak snapped. The Bears had won four of their past six meetings against Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma State went 14 of 25 from three-point range with Page and Anderson both going 5 of 8. It was the third straight
game the Cowboys had at least 10 three-pointers.
Page has averaged 20 points over the last four games.
Anderson, the conference's leading scorer, gave the Cowboys the lead for good at 60-59 with two free throws with 7:11 left. With Oklahoma State up 65-63, Obi Muonelo hit a 3-pointer and assisted on a basket by Matt Pilgrim as part of a 7-2 run that gave the Cowboys a 72-65 lead with 3:17 left.
Carter's three-pointer pulled Baylor within 75-69 with 1:52 left, but Pilgrim jammed home a miss by Anderson at the other end with 1:23 left.
Carter, who matched his career high for 3-pointers, hit two more from behind the arc, but Anderson responded both times by making two free throws.
Pilgrim had 10 points and 10 rebounds for Oklahoma State.
Ekpe Udoh had 11 points and 15 rebounds for Baylor, while Quincy Acy added 11 points.

By Murray Evans Associated Press — Saturday, Feb. 20
LINCOLN, Neb. — Marcus Denmon was feeling it Saturday,pouring in a career-high 24 points to lead Missouri past Nebraska 74-59.
Denmon, who had 22 points against Colorado on Feb.6 but only two against Texas on Wednesday, said it just happened to be his day to lead the Tigers.
"Some teams struggle if one of their guys isn't scoring. That isn't the way we are," Denmon said. "It can be anybody for us. Today, I was hitting the shots quick. I work on that. It's something I like to do, as soon as I get open, to make them pay for it."
Denmon had 13 of his points in the second half when Missouri took control, breaking open a close game in the middle of the period and then pulling away for the win.
"I thought we really played well today," said Missouri coach Mike Anderson. "We shot the ball well. Our defense has been constant, but today was one of those days where we shot to the ball...The thing I liked, we're starting to
become a second-half team."
Missouri (20-7, 8-4) trailed 39-38 when Zaire Taylor hit a jumper that gave the Tigers the lead they would never relinquish with 17:07 remaining.
Nebraska (13-14, 1-11),managed just three baskets in the next 5 $ \frac{1}{2} $ minutes against the tight Missouri man-to-man defense.
The Tigers outscored the Huskers 16-6 in that stretch. Denmon made a 3-pointer to put the Tigers up 54-45, then turned a steal into a short jumper to give Missouri a 56-45 lead with 11:29 left.
"I hit that three, then we like to try to find offense off our defense," Denmon said. "The defense gets us going."
The Tiger defense shut Nebraska down the rest of the game.
The Huskers cut the Missouri lead to nine on Christian Standhardinger's basket with 11:17 remaining, but did not bring their deficit below double figures again. Nebraska went more than eight minutes without a field goal late in the game before Ryan Anderson hit a 3-pointer with 51 seconds left.

Wildcats roll during second half
Powered by its depth, athleticism and solid defense. No. 7 K-State used a big second half to knock off Oklahoma 83-68 on Saturday in the Lloyd Noble Center.
By Justin Nutter Kansas State Collegian — Monday, Feb. 22
Leading by just a pair at halftime, the Wildcats (22-4, 9-3 Big 12 Conference), used a series of runs to take down the Sooners (13-13, 4-8 Big 12), who lost for just the second time this season on their own floor.
NORMAN, Okla. — As it has been so many times this season for the men's basketball team, it was once again a tale of two halves.
"Congrats to K-State," Oklahoma head coach Jeff Capel said after the game. "They are a very,very good basketball team. They've really got a chance to have a really good run in the NCAA Tournament. They're older,they're tough,got a veteran backcourt."
That backcourt — Denis Clemente and Jacob Pullen — had its way offensively for most of the night, as the Wildcat guards
combined for 41 points, including Clemente's game-high 27. The senior from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, knocked down clutch shot after clutch shot, extinguishing several Oklahoma comeback attempts and keeping the Sooner faithful in their seats.
Arguably his biggest shot of the night came midway through the final period and jump-started what would prove to be the knockout punch for the Wildcats. With 14:31 to go, Oklahoma's Tommy Mason-Griffin – who led the Sooners with 16 points – connected on a 3-pointer to cut K-State's lead to 50-49. But Clemente responded, draining a trey of his own, which ignited a 21-7 run that ultimately put the game out of reach.
Clemente's scoring effort marked his sixth 20-point game of the season, which head coach Frank Martin said he believes is a product of the whole team's progression.
Five Wildcats reached double figures. Pullen and forward Curtis Kelly each had 14 points while forwards Jamar Samuels and Dominique Sutton added 12 and 11, respectively.

IOWA STATE CYCLONES
Cyclones lose close one to Texas A&M
By Nate Sandell Iowa State Daily — Saturday, Feb. 20
The storyline on Saturday was one that the Cyclones have become familiar with.
As has been the case all season, Iowa State hung with No. 24 Texas A&M for most of the game, but ultimately could not overcome the Aggies, losing 60-56.
The close loss, which was the Cyclones sixth in a row, left a bitter sting.
"We're all a little heartbroken. It's right there and we all know we need to make that one extra play to win," said center Justin Hamilton. "It was a tough one. It was really emotional on a lot of our players. We were right there, but couldn't cut through."
The Cyclones trailed by 10 points at one point in the second half, but fought back to within one by the two-minute mark. However, a missed opportunity with less than minute left, on a possession where Iowa State could have tied the game, was enough to allow the Aggies to hold on to the victory.
After a dismal start to Wednesday's game against Oklahoma State put the Cyclones in a deep hole early on, Iowa State came into Saturday's game with an energy that was not present few days earlier. Iowa State started strong and immediately kept pace with the Aggies, trailing by only three at halftime.
"I'm not going to fault their effort. I thought their effort from the opening tip was were it needed to be," said coach Greg McDermott. "We had some execution breakdowns at times and we had times when we flat out missed shots."
Iowa State shot 40 percent in the first half, but the shooting percentage dropped in the second half to 33 (19-for-59).

Much of those shooting struggles came from Iowa State's leading scorers Craig Brackins and Marquis Gilstrap, who both struggled early on. Gilstrap went 1-for-7 from the field, before a trio of 3-pointers in the second half helped him end with 15 points. Brackins finished the game with 10 points off 4-for-16 shooting.

Scott Toland, The Wave editor
Kansas @ Oklahoma State Kansas — The Jayhawks know it's tough to play at Oklahoma State, and they'll be focused enough to win a tough game against the Cowboys.
Texas Tech @ Nebraska Nebraska — The Cornhuskers have struggled in conference play, but home-court advantage will make the difference against the Red Raiders.
Villanova @ Syracuse Syracuse — Villanova has plenty of good shooters, but the Orange's zone defense should cause enough problems for them to get the win.
Texas @ Texas A&M Texas — The Longhorns have gone through a rough stretch this season, but they will recover in time to be ready for the NCAA Tournament.
Cincinnati @ West Virginia West Virginia — Cinicinnati could give West Virginia a good game, but the Mountaineers are too athletic for the Bearcats.
Baylor @ Oklahoma Baylor — Oklahoma is improving, but Baylor's experience should make the difference in this game.
Kentucky @ Tennessee Kentucky — The Wildcats are due for an upset, but freshman phenom John Wall will make the big plays down the stretch for Kentucky.
North Carolina @ Wake Forest Wake Forest — The Tar Heels are really struggling this season and their struggles will continue on the road against a good Wake Forest team.
Pittsburgh @ Notre Dame Pittsburgh — Notre Dame really needs to win this game, but the Panthers' rebounding and inside play will be too much for the Fighting Irish.
Campbell @ North Florida Campbell — The North Florida Ospreys will be fired up in front of a raucous home crowd, but the Campbell Fighting Camels will pull out the win.

A case of mistaken extinction
KU's Coelacanth...
KU 22082 - Latimeria chalumnae
GCC 140
Grande Comore Island, Comoros - 1986
Immature male; 38 inches, 30 pounds
Andy Bentley, collection manager of Ichthyology, gives a presentation at the Natural History Museum Wednesday evening. The event, "The Coelacanth — The Living Fossil of the Oceans," offered visitors a chance to learn the history of the 1938 coelacanth discovery and take a look at the museum's only specimen.
Deborah Fraser/KANSAN
BY NANCY WOLENS
nwolens@kansan.com
The Natural History Museum's only specimen of the coelacanth is displayed during the museum's Wild Science event Wednesday evening. The first coelacanth was found in 1938 off the coast of South Africa after having thought to have been extinct for 65 million years.
Deborah Fraser/KANSAN
The Coelacanth (SEAL-ahcanth), a group of strange looking fish with intricate fin movements, was only known from the fossils scientists had until a young curator from the East London Museum, Marjorie Courtnay-Latimer, walked through a fish market and spotted a big blue fin sticking out of a pile of fish. It was something she had never seen before in her life, and she knew it was unusual.
It was supposed to have been extinct for 65 million years. But for the curator who found the fish alive in 1938, it was like finding a living dinosaur.
Andy Bentley, collection manager of Ichthyology at the University's Natural History Museum, re-told the story at the monthly Wild Science event at the museum Wednesday evening. Wild Science offers a chance for the public to interact with KU researchers. It will continue to be offered each month throughout the semester.
Bentley discussed the evolutionary history, biology and ecology, and the first discovery of the fish, named the "find of the century".
"None of these things were thought to be living." Bentley said. "They were all thought to have been extinct for 65 million years."
FISH FACTS
Allison Fulton, a graduate student from Forest Grove, Ore., left the event impressed by what Bentley had to say.
"Those are the best kind of stories for stuff like this," Fulton said. "When you actually have the specimen and you can talk about its history, it's really interesting."
"If you think of something like a toilet [paper] roll made out of cartilage and filled with oil, that is what its backbone looks like," Bentley said.
Bentley said the Coelacanth can grow to about 6 feet long and weigh about 150 pounds, but it still doesn't have a backbone like most other fish.
Bentley said the fish has lobed fins, which are similar to the human hand. They have well developed
scales and hollow fin spines, he said. They have jelly-filled organs at the front of their noses, which act as sensory organs, allowing them to detect their environment and their prey.
They are dark blue in color with white speckled patterns down the side of their body. Living deep in the water — as much as 650 feet below the surface — they're known as cave dwellers, Bentley said. They eat anything they find because there is little food so deep in the ocean
"When you actually have the specimen and can talk about its history,it's really interesting."
SAVING THE COELANCANTH
Bentley said these animals, with a status of CITES Appendix 1, are considered highly endangered
ALLISON FULTON Graduate student from Forest Grove, Ore.
Since the first discovery of the living Coelacanth in 1938, there have been five findings, specifically one in 1952 that led scientists
to think that their known "home" is in the Comoro Islands, off the Eastern coast of Africa.
species.
"Extinct CITES Appendix 1 specimens are those most rare and most endangered species around the world," Bentley said. "Things like elephant tusks and rhino horns are there as well."
Conservation efforts continue to save the
Coelancanth. The fish rarely stay alive after being caught by regional fisherman because the fish are unable to swim back down to their deep-water habitat.
The Coelacanth Rescue Mission and conservation organizations have begun handing out deep
release kits for local fisherman so they can get the fish to the cold bottom easier.
The South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, where Bentley used to work, recently received $25 million from the German government and $25 million from the South African government to do further research on the species.
There is a 30-pound specimen that is 38 inches long located at the University Natural History Museum to view.

Molly Boehner and her boyfriend Paul Thorne sat toward the back of the auditorium and appeared confident as they waited to hear David Coleman speak about relationships and dating. The couple has been in a stable relationship for one year, Thorn said they had taken two breaks from each other. So while Thorne said their relationship was strong, he said they could always use advice to polish some of the rough edges.
"We get through fights pretty quickly," said Boehner, a sophomore from Lenexa.
"We communicate pretty well, but we call each other out as well," said Thorne, who is also a junior from Lenexa. The auditorium was filled, with

ALTERNATIVE BREAKS
Summer program available to students
BY NANCY WOLENS
nwolens@kansan.com
nwolens@kansan.com
When the Alternative Breaks program had to turn down 40 applicants because of limited slots, the organization proposed creating a summer breaks program to accommodate the overwhelming number of interested students.
Hannah Nusz, a senior from Kansas City and a co-director of Alternative Breaks, said she had been interested in expanding programs for a long time, including the creation of summer programs.
"Our goal is to be able to send as many people as possible on the trips," Mertz said.
Alternative Breaks has been on campus for 15 years and already offers students the opportunity to volunteer during winter, spring and weekend breaks. Students have an array of sites to choose from each break. This year there are about 10 spring break trips planned.
The summer breaks program will start this summer. Applications are due March 5 and are available at groups.ku.edu/~albreaks/. Students can bring their applications to room 425 in the Kansas Union in the Student Involvement Leadership Center.
The summer trip takes place from May 17-26, and students will travel to two different sites, one in California and one in New York.
The first site is located on Catalina Island, Calif. Students will work with the Catalina Environmental Leadership Program, an outdoor education program for fourth-12th grade students.
Julia Barnard, a sophomore from Lawrence and public relations representative for Alternative Breaks, said student volunteers would have the chance to assist in conservation and ecological awareness, such as trail building while working the younger students.
"The cool part about this break is that in their free time they're

American Indian Literary Modernism

BY SARAH McCABE smccabe.kansan.com
Monday morning classes are usually a drag. After a weekend of relaxing, getting out of bed can sometimes be too much for a student to handle.
Nevertheless, American Indian Literary Modernism, offered at 10 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, fills up each semester. Not only does it fulfill an English credit, but it introduces a new perspective on what it means to be American.
While many English classes claim to teach American literature, most focus only on certain demographics and skim over the voices of others vital to American culture.
American Indian Literary Modernism is one of few classes that provide an in-
depth exploration into one of the least known facets of American literature.
"The very best American Indian writers are among the very best writers, period," said Steve Evans, the course's instructor.
Evans has been passionate about American Indian literature since he took a class from the late Prof. Bud Hirsch in 2000,
"We each have areas that spark our interest," he said. "This is one of mine."
Students take this class for many different reasons, and they don't need any prior knowledge about the topic to enjoy the class.
"I'm really interested in indigenous studies and I found this one," said Kayla Barrs, a senior from Abilene, Texas. "I love hearing the native voices, hearing their own experiences directly from
them and not from outsiders."
For other students, this class offers a chance to delve further into a subject they might be familiar with but never had a chance to fully explore.
"I decided to take this class because a lot of my extended families are Native American. I grew up with their stories, and I wanted to learn more about the broader literacy materials that are out there," said Jeremy Adwell, a sophomore from Spring Hill, Kan.
American Indian literature is a part of American literature that can be overlooked in a normal English class.
"Students are delighted to find that I don't say American literature anymore, but literatures." Evans says. "American literature is as diverse as America."

Students work with the Cumberland Trails Conference in Tennessee during winter break. Alternative Breaks will offer a summer program this year.
Greenberg also did winter break program in New Orleans organized to help rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Greenberg said he was excited about the new summer program and would probably volunteer since he would be in Lawrence for the summer.
"The upsides are incredible," Greenberg said. "You get to see an area you may have never been to, give your time and walk away with the potential to have some good friends for life."

about 100 students — about 25 of them male — who came to hear Coleman, the self-proclaimed "Dating Doctor." Coleman spoke about dating, romance, healthy relationships and how to be a good partner.
Coleman said the main goal of his job as "America's Real Life Hitch," was to help people find their "hmmm."
"A 'hmmm' is someone who makes you stop dead in your tracks," he said.
Coleman was the inspiration behind "Hitch," the 2005 movie starring Will Smith. He also consulted for the many dating and advice scenes in the film. In addition to speaking at 200 events every year, he also helps 10 clients find significant others.
Nancy Wolens
The audience at Wednesday's event was extremely interactive with Coleman. Audience members raised their hands in accordance with the questions he asked, such as how many of them saw themselves as attractive and how many saw themselves as being stuck in the "friend zone."
Coleman said it's harder for men than it is for women to introduce themselves to a potential partner.
All but a few women raised their hands because, Coleman said, most women think men are only after sex.
"Please raise your hand if you don't trust men," he asked the audience.
Men also make the biggest mistake, he said, when they ask too many factual questions. This causes them to miss out on how women feel, he said, and instead they become like an accountant to her rather than grow closer to her.
He said no one would find the right person until he or she became the right person. Coleman told the audience what he thought the secret to any relationship was.
Boehner said she looked for someone who was smart, funny and athletic, as she motioned toward her boyfriend sitting next to her.
"Someone that gets me and understands me is important," she said.
"If your significant other believes in their heart that you have the capacity to walk away from them and never look back or doubt yourself, they'll never second-guess you," he said.
Katie Blevins, a sophomore from Great Bend, is single and said she came to hear Coleman's advice so she could learn where to find guys who she found desirable who were willing to approach her.
Coleman said there was only one question that needs to be answered honestly to decide the fate of a relationship: "Am I an option or a priority?"
"They're only focused on sexual intimacy, rather than finding anything deeper," she said. "It's hard to find anything."
Rachel Anderson, a junior from Manhattan and the social issues director for Student Union Activities, said she thought that there's a lot of pressure in college for people to find the person they are going to spend the rest of their lives with, and Coleman helped alleviate some of that pressure.
"Whether you are in a relationship, not in a relationship, long-term, long-distance, whether you are gay, straight, bisexual," she said, "he touches on every facet of dating."

REALITY BITES
On his website, Coleman has a quiz about relationships. Here are some of his questions and answers:
Who controls a relationship between two people?
Who contends a relationship between two people The person who is more invested has to work harder to keep the relationship going and to keep the other person (the one least invested) interested.
What do men and women want more than anything else (and they both want the same thing)?
The minute that something is unavailable to us or potentially unattainable to us, we seem to want it more than anything else. For example, people will sometimes break off a relationship and then see their ex dating someone new and immediately want he or she back. Why? Nothing has changed, right? Because now they can't have them and don't want anyone else to have them either.
Do Women have a "G-spot" (or a secret, magical sexual "hot button")?
It is not a myth, but the truth. The misguided notion of a woman's sexual potential persisted until 1950 when an article by a Berlin gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg discussed the G-spot area. In his original work, he reported that some women had a spot on the inside of the front wall of the vagina, which, when firmly stimulated produced intense orgasms and in some women ejaculation of something thicker and slicker than urine during the strongest contractions of their orgasms. No further serious research was done until Perry and Whipple's 1978 extensive study, which confirmed the article of Dr. Grafenberg. Most sexologists now think every woman has a G-spot but it may simply be unresponsive from lack of stimulation. It can be made to learn to be responsive, however, by proper stimulation.
Does a man thinks about sex approximately every seven seconds?
According to an intense Kinsey Institute study, the average man forms a thought about sex approximately every two minutes, and men generally ponder the thought for about 50 seconds to one minute before letting go of it, so to speak.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
PHILADELPHIA — This isn't a bad time to be a teenage singer from Pennsylvania with the name Taylor.
That's what Taylor Bright, a 16-year-old from Mount Airy, Pa., just discovered when she took a serendipitous ride on the vapor trail of her slightly older superstar namesake, Taylor Swift.
With interest generated by a number of original songs she had posted on the Internet. Bright went over to England this month to do a modest school tour, singing three of her songs for grade schoolers in eight cities.
Then a newspaper in Liverpool misread her press release and reported that it was Taylor Swift who would be performing at a local Catholic elementary school. The misinformation was repeated to 44,000 fans over the public address system at a Premier League soccer match between Liverpool and Bolton.
The school was deluged with inquiries and Bright's appearance was canceled due to safety concerns.
But the case of mistaken identity made her an instant sensation, with numerous radio and TV outlets clamoring for interviews.

In some ways a typical teen, Bright is also a thoroughly modern success story in the making, a testament to the DIY potential of the Internet.
After gaining extensive theater experience, including a year-long national tour at age 12 as one of the orphans in "Annie," Bright began writing pop songs in her bedroom.
"First, I write the lyrics," she says. "I use Garage Band on my Mac and sing into the computer. My brother created a fake studio in the basement."

EDITORIAL
Closing schools is not the solution to budget deficit
The Lawrence School Board faces the daunting task of cutting $5 million in funding before next school year. Deciding where those cuts will come from remains a difficult decision and one that deserves careful deliberation.
Although the board needs to consider a wide range of viable options, closing neighborhood schools falls far outside that range. The long-term costs of closing schools greatly outweigh any short-term benefits.
Opponents, such as the group Save Our Neighborhood Schools, have cited the strong connection between schools and their corresponding neighborhoods. One specific scenario discussed at a meeting Monday entailed closing two elementary schools and the East Heights Early Childhood Center. Closing those schools would detract from the identity and functionality of their respected neighborhoods.
The importance of those schools spans beyond neighborhood and enrollment boundaries.
As Chancellor Bernadette Gray Little expressed in a letter to Superintendent Rick Doll, local schools are of vital importance to the University as well.
In her letter, Gray-Little rightly asserted that "The high quality of Lawrence public schools is one of the hallmarks of the Lawrence community and a key recruiting tool."
Prospective faculty and staff members, as well as students with families, are more likely to join the
University knowing that "they can send their children to a first-rate school," as Gray-Little said.
English as a Second Language, a program designed to improve the English skills of international faculty, staff and students, may also be threatened by the possibility of closing Hillcrest and Cordley elementary schools, two schools near campus. ESL attracts international employees and students and provides a unique volunteer opportunity to students involved.
Students in the School of Education also rely on local schools for volunteer, student teaching and practicum opportunities. About 45 students volunteer weekly at local schools as members of the School of Education Student Organization.
Though the scenario outlined on Monday excluded closing those schools, a final decision has not been made on which schools would ultimately be closed.
Closing one elementary school would save the district only $400,000 to $600,000. Although the budget deficit is severe, it is only temporary. The minimal gain that would be received does not justify the very permanent consequences of closing the schools.
Alternatively, programs and teachers are easier to bring back than entire schools.
District administrators have proposed a list of possible program, administrative and classified staff cuts totaling $3 million in savings.
Adding one student to the student-teacher ratio would require 20 fewer teachers, allowing the district to save an additional $1.1 million.
Though not ideal, the proposed cuts to faculty, along with several additional cuts proposed by Save Our Neighborhood Schools, are enough to cover the $5 million deficit and keep all schools open.
The decrease in state aid and rise in insurance costs are to blame for the Lawrence school district's budget cuts, but they are temporary problems requiring temporary solutions.
No solution will be perfect considering the extent of the district's budget woes. The $5 million cut presents considerable obstacles, and we greatly admire the Board's diligent efforts in finding the best way forward. But it remains possible to reach a satisfactory agreement without closing schools, an imprudent solution the Board should avoid entirely.
Michael Holtz for The Kansan Editorial Board
Students should express concern with the proposal to close Lawrence schools
Public forums to discuss options for the school board budget cuts will be at 7 p.m. Monday at Central Junior High and at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, at West Junior High.

Vegetarian diets don't have to limit athletic excellence
Vegetarian diets are growing in popularity among athletes for numerous reasons. One study by the Yale Medical Journal found that vegetarians are often more capable of maintaining athletic endurance than their meat-eating counterparts.
The following individuals have accomplished astonishing athletic feats and largely attribute their success to their vegetarian diet:
Men's Fitness Magazine dubbed Danzig one of the fittest men in America in 2008. Danzig follows a strict vegan diet and largely attributes his triumphs to his diet.
"A lot of people don't realize how hard milk, whey and other dairy products are on the sinuses and respiratory system, and the dairy industry would like you to believe that you need milk to get calcium. That notion is as oxymoronic as you can get," Danzig has written online.

MARINE CAPTAIN ALAN JONES,
CANDIDATE FOR THE WORLD'S
FITTEST MAN
Jones was diagnosed with polio at 5, yet he still went on to be an incredible vegetarian athlete. Between September 1974 and January 1976, Jones set the world record for continuous sit-ups and push-ups, lifted a 75-pound barbell over his head 1,600 times, swam 500 miles in 11 days, skipped rope 43,000 times in five hours and many other incredible feats of strength and endurance.
CARL LEWIS, WINNER OF 10 OLYMPIC MEDALS IN TRACK AND FIELD
Lewis, one of the most successful Olympic athletes of all time, credits his diet for his athletic accomplishments.
Lewis wrote in Very Vegetarian Magazine, "My best year of track
competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet. Moreover, by continuing to eat a vegan diet, my weight is under control, I like the way I look."
Being a vegetarian isn't just for prominent athletes. Embracing a well-balanced vegetarian diet can significantly improve a person's athletic abilities. But it is important that — like with any diet —vegetarians eat a variety of nutrient rich foods.
Protein is paramount to building muscle mass and staying in shape. What most people don't realize is that the vegetarian diet is full of protein-packed foods. Beans, lentils, nuts, soy, quinoa and whole grains top the list of natural protein powerhouses.
There are some great options for those who want to eat tasty, affordable and nutrient-packed food. Local grocery stores, such as Hy-Vee and Dillions, also provide a variety of veggie burgers, vegan jerky and meatless chicken nuggets.
Students who want to become leaner and stronger should consider giving the vegetarian diet a try.

RELIGION
Some relief efforts overlook real issues
In the face of disaster, small organizations are usually able to react with more speed and precision than large groups or governments.
This was especially evident in 2005 with Hurricane Katrina.
Many of these smaller groups are religious groups.
Although the individual contributions of these groups might not be much, collectively they represent a crucial piece in disaster recovery.
The efforts in Haiti seem to be more balanced among religious groups, governments and other organizations than Katrina was.
These groups provided essentials to the victims including food, blankets, shelter and evacuation assistance.
Many religious groups were on site and already helping days before some government agencies arrived.
However, once again, religious groups have played a huge part in providing relief.
Nonetheless, there is a line between helping and taking advantage of a terrible situation.
Objective Ministries has launched a "relief effort" with its new product, The Proclaimer.
Objective Ministries, along with a handful of other organizations, have crossed this line.
According to its website, the Proclaimer is a "rugged, self-powered audio Bible that can broadcast the New Testament in the jungle, desert, or even on the moon!"
The Proclaimer can be powered by battery, solar power, a hand crank or an AC adaptor.
The group is currently asking for donations to send these $157 glorified radios to Haiti.
On its website, the main marketing point of Objective Ministries is that the Proclaimer

The validity of this statement is questionable at best.
"produce enough comforting decibels of Gospel to be clearly heard by 300 homeless and injured people."
It doesn't matter if five or 500 people can hear the radio.
For a society in which the vast majority of its citizens live on a dollar a day, $157 could be spent in a multitude of better ways.
To say that this tragedy is an opportunity to promote a religion seems to undermine one of religion's main purposes: to show compassion to humanity.
Objective Ministries also promotes this program by saying how "we can turn this tragedy into an opportunity to release Haiti from the bonds of Voodoo and it's [sic] Satanic pact."
In fact, my favorite thing about religion is its capacity to help others.
But there is a difference between genuine help and a religious marketing ploy.
Churches and religious organizations should do what they can to help those in need.
The people of Haiti don't need fancy solar-powered radios.
They need food, clean water and a place to sleep.
Blackmon is a junior from Olathe in journalism.
I would like to clarify the position of the American Red Cross with respect to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) policy regarding the indefinite deferral of "men who have had sex with men since 1977."
This policy is written into the Code of Federal Regulations, is enforced by the FDA and written in FDA guidance.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Defending Red Cross' Policy
It does not represent the views of the American Red Cross.
-
The American Red Cross is dedicated to fairness and equity in the formulation and administration of donor selection criteria to ensure a safe and plentiful blood supply for all patients regardless of beliefs, race, gender or sexual persuasion.
In late 2005, the Red Cross worked with the AABB (formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks) and America's Blood Centers to petition the FDA to review the above policy.
AABB, ABC and ARC think the
deferral period for men who have had sex with other men should be modified to be consistent with deferrals for those judged to be at risk of infection via heterosexual routes.
Please know the American Red Cross fully supports the promulgation of fair and equitable donor selection criteria that enhance blood safety without the appearance of prejudice against any group.
The Red cross continues to lobby through the AABB for reconsideration of these policies.
On May 23, 2007, the FDA reaffirmed its support of a lifetime deferral for MSM.
I encourage you to champion blood donation by eligible donors to celebrate those that are able and willing to donate.
—Scott L. Caswell is the Central Plains Region CEO of the American Red Cross.

Roberts denies destroying tapes
TOPEKA — A CIA spokesman is backing away from a 2003 internal memo that suggests Sen. Pat Roberts approved of the destruction of terrorist interrogation tapes.
The memo was released by the Department of Justice on Monday in litigation over a Freedom of Information request filed by Judicial Watch.
According to the Feb. 4, 2003, memo, Roberts was briefed by CIA officials about the interrogation of two detainees suspected
of terrorist activities against the U.S.
Roberts was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
The existence of the video tapes was disclosed during the briefing. The CIA was concerned about them being leaked and the safety of the interrogators.
CIA spokesman George Little said Wednesday the account was never meant to be exhaustive.
The memo states that Roberts "listened carefully and gave his assent" to destroying the tapes. Roberts denies it.

Decrease in water raises problems

Brett Wedel, a geologist at the Kansas Geological Survey, lowers a steel rope down into the well to record the water level in January east of Liberal. The Kansas Geological Survey travels west every January, weather permitting, to record water levels.
A source for Kyle Ross and his family's livelihood is drying up.
Ross, a freshman from Meade, lives on a farm that uses irrigation. It requires thousands of gallons of water a year to support crops.
But these days in southern Meade County, located about five hours southwest of Lawrence, the Ross farm is restricted by declining water levels. Old sprinklers stand in fields with no chance of spreading water over the crops. Streams, creeks and ponds slowly turn to dust, revealing the lack of water available.
As the water levels drop, these sights will become more common. Since 1996, the water levels in southwest Kansas have declined, except for a 1.2-inch increase in 1998, said Brownie Wilson, Geographic Info System and support services manager at Kansas Geological Survey.
Irrigation started in the 1950s and '60s, and with the ability to obtain and use more water, large-scale production soaked up the water in the underground Ogallala aquifer. Increased water usage allowed Kansas' agriculture industry to make millions. A study from the Kansas Geological Survey
reported that the use of irrigation turned a profit of $188 million for southwest Kansas in 2001.
to control water usage in various parts of the state, leaving family farms with even less water to irrigate their crops.

makes this state go round." Wilson said. "Having an irrigation well, especially in southwest Kansas, is like having a gold mine."
However, ground water is a limited resource. To monitor and preserve the water in the aquifer, the state has issued regulations
the state, but in parts of Kansas, such as where Ross lives, more regulations are added. Examples include the spacing of wells on proper ty, water permits and property rights, said Lane Letourneau,
program manager of the Water Appropriation Program at the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
The amount of water the Ross family can pump depends on the level of the aquifer and how much
water other people are using. The amount of water that is allowed to be used depends on the water levels for that day which are calculated for each county.
"We can't irrigate all our ground because of the regulations," Ross said. "We would probably grow different crops than we have now if we could irrigate all our land."
Right now, Ross said his family grows crops that don't demand as much water, such as wheat and milo, instead of corn. Ross' family is allowed to use only a certain amount of water or to pull water from certain wells.
To deal with the diminishing water levels and water restrictions, crops are rotated to keep the land fertile. The Ross family owns more than 1,000 acres, and Ross estimated that less than 25 percent of his family's land is irrigated.
The depletion facts come from teams like the one from the Kansas Geological Survey, located
on West Campus. Teams go out to measure the wells in January, when the least amount of irrigation takes place. Wells averaged water level drops of 2 to 5 feet, but drops as low as 10 feet occurred in some areas of southwest Kansas this year, said Wilson.
Though the water levels are visibly receding, the Kansas Division of Water Resources records the water movements every year so the exact amount of the decrease is known. So far, results have shown decreasing water levels throughout the state, except for a surprising increase in northwest Kansas, Wilson said.
Brett Wedel, a geologist at the Kansas Geological Survey, attributed the increase in the water levels to increased rainfall this past spring and summer.

The people who would lose their livelihood from a lack of water are farmers in the western half of the state, Wedel said. Any decline in agriculture could drastically affect the state, with $5.9 billion from agriculture exports in 2008, according the Kansas Department of Agriculture website.
On the farm, the Ross family isn't solely supporting itself, but a portion of the state as well. Ross said that even though his family would use more water if it were allowed, he understands the importance of restrictions because he has experienced the declining levels.

2010 homecoming theme announced
The KU Homecoming Steering Committee announced Wednesday the 2010 homecoming theme will be "Rock Chalk Roadtrip."
Kris Nielsen, a senior from Leawood and publicity co-chair of the steering committee, said the group started off with more than 60 ideas for the homecoming theme and eventually narrowed it down to the road trip theme, which Nielsen said the group was very excited about.
"We wanted to involve alumni too — people from all over are coming to celebrate homecoming together," he said.
Homecoming has been a tradition at the University since 1912, according to the Homecoming Steering Committee's website. Student groups are encouraged to make floats corresponding with the theme and participate in the campus-wide homecoming parade.
"This has the potential to be the biggest homecoming ever," Nielsen said. "Our group is really on the ball. We can accomplish great things because of it."
Updates and news about homecoming are available through the steering committee's Facebook and Twitter accounts @ku_homecoming, as well as on the KU Homecoming website.

Online predator sentenced to jail
WAUKESHA, Wis. — A Wisconsin teen convicted of using Facebook to blackmail dozens of classmates into sex has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Nineteen-year-old Anthony Stancl of New Berlin showed no emotion as the sentence was handed down Wednesday.
Stancl pleaded no contest in December to two felonies.
including repeated sexual assault of a child.
He apologized during sentencing, saying he has learned to understand what his victims went through.
He had faced a maximum 30-year sentence.
Stancl is accused of posing as a girl on Facebook and tricking more than 30 male classmates into sending him naked photos of themselves and then using the photos to blackmail them for sex.

O'Neal urged to end conflict of interest
TOPEKA — Democrats in the Kansas House have formally demanded that its Republican speaker remove himself and his law firm from a lawsuit against the state.
House Minority Leader Paul Davis, of Lawrence, and five other Democratic lawmakers sent O'Neal a letter Wednesday making the demand. They said they are prepared to take formal action if he does not comply.
They didn't specify what the action would be, though Davis said one possibility is forcing the House to investigate the matter.
O'Neal, a Hutchinson Republican, said Democrats can't cite any rule or law that he's violated. He calls the attacks on him "very partisan."
The speaker is representing businesses, trade groups and insurance funds in a lawsuit in Shawnee over a financial maneuver used to help balance the state budget last year.

Swine flu claims another Kansan
TOPEKA — Swine flu has claimed its 28th victim in Kansas.
The state Department of Health and Environment says a 60-year-old man from the Topeka area has died after contracting the H1N1 virus.
The department said the man had an underlying health condition that increased his risk of complications from swine flu.
Swine flu cases have been reported in 91 of the state's 105 counties since late April 2009.
Health officials didn't release other details, citing privacy concerns. The department says the man's swine flu was confirmed earlier this month and that his death was reported to the agenvc Monday.

Sheets, pants, light bulbs go down toilet
UNIONTOWN, Pa. — The heads of the prison board in Fayette County say inmates of the prison clog the county jail's outmoded sewer lines by flushing sheets, pants and other items - even light bulbs - down the toilets in their cells.
A county engineer estimates it could cost $50,000 to $200,000 to install equipment that could grind up or screen out such obstructions. For now, such items must be removed by hand.
That's complicated by the fact that the prison was built in 1886 and has outmoded four-inch sewer lines.
The jail is expecting a $1,200 bill to fix clogs inmates caused by flushing debris.

Senior guard achieves most wins in history
ROGERS BUSH PARKS
Senior guard Sherron Collins will play his last game in Allen Fieldhouse next Wednesday against Kansas State. His 124 victories as a Jayhawk are the most of any player in Kansas basketball history.
BYTIM DWYER
tdwyer@kapcan.com
tdwyer@kansan.com
PAGE 1B
Sherron Collins was having a great February before Monday night.
He had a healthy baby daughter, Sharee'i Monea Collins, who he says already has him wrapped around her little finger. He and the Jayhawks had six victories. And Kansas has gone the entire month as the No.1 team in the country.
Monday night was simply a bonus. He posted 17 points and six assists as the Jayhawks routed the Oklahoma Sooners in a game that was far more lopsided than the 81-68 final score.
But none of those are the numbers that matter. The important numbers from Monday were two-fold.
The first is 124. The other is six.
Adam Buhler/KANSAN
Kansas' victory Monday night was Collins' 124th in the crimson and blue, the most in any four-year stretch in Kansas history.
The senior point guard from Chicago would need to average just shy of 400 points per game for the rest of the regular season to become Kansas' career-leading scorer. He'd need to average well over 100 assists per game to leave the University with that crown. Collins' legacy will never be — and never was going to be — statistics based.
Instead, in a fashion that would make Al "just win, baby" Davis, the famous Oakland Raiders owner, weep with pride, Collins will be remembered for one thing alone. When he steps off the floor at Allen Fieldhouse for the last time next Wednesday, he will leave Kansas as the man who won more games than any other Jayhawk.
"He gets it," coach Bill Self said. "He gets that his legacy is only going to be on one thing — wins and losses. He's not going to be the all-time leading scorer here or the all-time leading assistant man or be a guy that's going to lead us in steals all-time. What he's going to do — he's going to win more games than anybody else. He's the best guard, by far, that I've coached since I've been here."
"I tried not to think about it too much before it happened just because it'd be a distraction," Collins said. "But it means a lot. A lot of greats have come before me, and a lot of people that paved the way for me to even be here."
Collins is quick to shed most of the credit, though. He'll acknowledge Self's ability to turn top recruits into team-oriented players (see: Xavier Henry). Collins will give credit to his teammates — Mario Chalmers and company — in his early years, Cole Aldrich and the Morris twins and Tyshawn Taylor more recently — in helping him get to this point.
"I've been a player who loves to win, an Ive tried my hardest," Collins said. "There's never 'I' in the team. There's other players who helped me, with different teams, and this shows just how good coach has been."
To only mention Collins' most recent

Kansas wobbles on tournament bubble

One more loss and Kansas NCAA tournament bubble may pop. Unless that loss is a pretty one.
If the layhawks don't win against Iowa State at 6 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse, they would be wise to keep it close.
Fringe tournament teams from power conferences hold a strange yet valuable and intangible factor to their postseason hopes — the good loss. It sounds oxymoronic. No team holds its head high after a hard-fought battle only to come out
on the losing end. Yet because Kansas has played against the nation's finest and narrowly missed a victory so many times, its tournament odds have sunk but not disappeared.
"When it comes down to the last few teams, you're looking at the bad losses," said Lymn Parkes, former chairman of the NCAA tournament selection committee.

Scouting combine includes Jayhawks
BY ALEX BEECHER
abeecher@kansan.com
this weekend's NFL combine is a shared guilty pleasure for
It is a small guilty pleasure for sports fans. It's that song every one always turns up, unless of course someone else happens to be around. Blaring "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga in front of others might be embarrassing, despite the fact that it's stuck in their heads too.
But Kansas fans don't need to watch this year's combine with the usual mix of anxiety and trepidation. There will be no need to change the channel to Animal Planet when someone else walks in the room and loudly proclaims "Penguins are so fascinating, don't you think. Mom?"
As for Kiper's hair, its perfection is a national treasure. And the spandex merely allows for greater flexibility while working out.
This year Kerry Meier, Dezmon Briscoe and Darrell Stuckey will participate in the event, showcasing their abilities in an attempt to raise their draft stock.
Those concerns all ignore the real reason the combine draws the interest it does.It's the ultimate viewing experience for the growing number of wannabe general managers and armchair scouts.In this age,where fans' allegiance often lies with whichever player is on their fantasy team,sports geeks revel in all the offseason details.
Granted, that sentence provides adequate ammunition for combine nay-sayers. "So what if they're KU players?" our hypothetical critic might say. "The combine is stupid anyway. Who cares how fast you can run 40 yards or how many times you can bench 225 pounds? The whole thing has nothing to do with football, and you only watch for Mel Kiper's hair and the muscular dudes in spandex."
That argument against the combine's validity, variations of which you've probably heard — and perhaps even recited yourself — does have merit. Meier, Briscoe and Stuckey can all play football, regardless of what a stopwatch says. And it is perhaps true that seemingly arbitrary measures can unwisely take precedent over prior performance. But it's also the case that 2,000-yard rusher Chris Johnson was little more than a blip on many radar screens until he blazed his way through an impressive workout, including a 4.24-second 40-yard dash, the fastest ever. The point is, that while no same person would argue that workout numbers ought to supersede football numbers, both should be considered.
But the combine is still ultimately about football. It gives fans the opportunity to fantasize about how awesome so-and-so would look in their favorite NFL team's jersey, to indulge in the dream that the mystical "next year" might actually be this coming year
For Kansas fans, this year's combine further extends the opportunity for fandom. The combine represents the last time Meier, Briscoe and Stuckey will compete as Jayhawks. After the draft, their sports identity will be forever divided. Sure, Meier running a 4.5 40 wouldn't bring the same exultation that his catch against Missouri in 2008 did. But at this point, it's the best we can hope for.
So this year, watch the combine with pride. Bring on the 40-yard dashes, the bench pressing, the helmet hair and, yes, even the spandex.

VANCOUVER,British Columbia — Lindsey Vonn went down hard. Zach Parise made sure the U.S.men's hockey team didn't.
Finland and Czech Republic game. NBC already has said it will show the semifinal game live, in all time zones, at noon PST Friday.
Hours after Vonn tumbled into the safety netting in the giant slalom and was taken for X-rays, the hockey guys found themselves in trouble against Switzerland. The game was scoreless a couple minutes into the third period until Parise broke through. He added an empty-net goal in the closing seconds to seal a 2-0 victory and put the Americans into the semifinals.

The cover girl coming into these Winter Games, Vonn's scorecard so far shows two medals (a gold and a bronze) and two wipeouts.
In the event finals completed so far Wednesday, Germany picked up another medal, making 24 overall. The Americans are stuck at 26. Both countries are tied for the most gold with seven.
The best hopes for the United States was in the women's bobsled later in the day. But even that is muted by the fact Germany might win the other two medals.
The other big event Wednesday was the hockey game between international superpowers Canada and Russia, with only one advancing.
Swiss goalie Jonas Hiller kept the game scoreless by stuffing Parise several times, with two more of Parise's shots clanking against the goal posts.
HOCKEY
Parise scored 2:08 into the final period by redirecting a shot by Brian Rafalski early in a power play. Switzerland fought to tie it, but Ryan Miller made 19 saves
Then there was the shot that Hiller tried swatting away, but it went off his shoulder and into the net — a millisecond or two after the second period ended.
American Julia Mancuso, the defending Olympic champion, was next, and starters made the mistake of sending her out while Vonn was still down.
That meant a restart, which is tough on the body and the mind. She wound up 18th - and furious. She'll have at least one night to keep stewing over it.
Elisabeth Goergl of Austria was the leader. The top American was Sara Schleper, in 14th place.

Also notable in this event was Marjan Kalhor becoming the first Iranian woman to compete at a Winter Olympics. The 21-year-old Kalhor, who wore a pink head scarf beneath her safety helmet to comply with Islamic dress code, was all smiles at the end of her run, despite being the slowest of 68 skiers who finished the run.
While this is Vonn's worst event, no skier wants to go out like she did.

Cunningham's team, The Red Team, and Fitzpatrick's team, The Silver Snakes, were both witness before their match. The Red Team took an early lead during the first half and kept its momentum, winning the game 36-29 "it feels good," said Steve Mazzoni, a freshman from Leawood, on the victory. "It's the first time we played together as a team and the first time we've proved we can win as a team."

Jayhawks, Wildcats could both be No.1 tourney seeds
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
In the interest of saving everyone a little time, this week's Big 12 Stock Report will feature just the seven teams that still have a chance to make some noise come March. This means, with all due respect to Oklahoma (sell), Iowa State (sell), Nebraska (sell), Texas Tech (hold) and Colorado (buy), they'll be excluded from the larger discussion.
The seven teams discussed below range from locks to make the tourney to teams being on the bubble. The other five teams, which are not mentioned, have no shot to make the tourney beyond winning the conference tournament and getting an automatic bid.
KANSAS (27-1, 13-0); BUY
KU
The No. 1 Jayhawks have shown no signs of slowing down and, barring losses in probably three more games, have a one seed in the NCAA
locked up real tight. If Kansas manages to win the conference tournament, even with a possible loss in the regular season, it has as good a chance as any to wind up as the No. 1 overall seed. This means possible first and second-round games in Oklahoma City and then games in St. Louis to advance to the Final Four. However, the next three games aren't what youd call a friendly road — each team the Jayhawks play is likely headed to the tournament – but it'd take a heck of a performance to stop the
roll the Jayhawks are on.

Lawrence next Wednesday, and the Wildcats could sneak in the back door as a one seed. Kansas State hasn't lost this month, and the team looks as if it is easily playing like the second best team in the Big 12 right now. This Wildcats team has the tools to make a run to the Elite Eight, maybe even the Final Four, this year.
TEXAS A&M (19-7, 8-4);

The Aggies have played inspired basketball this season — as long as it's been on the parquet floor of
Reed Arena.
They're 13-1 at home and 4-4 on the road,
and their only signature road victory came at Missouri.

With the Aggies looking like a four seed at best, but more likely a five or a six, that's not comforting for Texas A&M fans. With a seed like that, the closest they'll be to home may be New Orleans. ESPN's latest Bracketology has the Aggies playing their first round game in Jacksonville against Florida.

BASKETBALL
Baylor has all sary to succeed in the NCAA tournament. It has brilliant point play from senior Tweety Carter,
who has the most assists in the Big 12 and scores 16.3 points per game. It has a lethal scorer in junior guard LaceDarius Dunn, who is second behind James Anderson in the Big 12 scoring race. The team has excellent post play, which is new development from years past. Junior center Ekpe Udoh is averaging a double-double and leads the conference with 4.3 blocks per game. Though Baylor may be playing as underdogs, this team will be scary come March.
TEXAS (21-6, 7-5); BUY.
Losing junior guard Dogus Balbya to a season-ending AC1 tear, as strange as it may sound, may have been the best thing that could happen for the Longhorns. Its obviously a shame, but Rick Barnes biggest weakness this year has been his inability to find a consistent rotation. With as many as 12 girls getting legitimate minutes in multiple games, the Longhorns have been unable to find a rhythm. Cutting down the number of tools Barnes has to work with will only benefit them, especially with freshman guard JCovan Brown and junior guard Jai Lucas in reserve as comparable talents.
OKLAHOMA STATE (19-7, 7-5): BUY

at Texas A&M. If the Cowboys can win one of those three, they're in. If they lose all three, though, it will probably take a couple victories if the conference tournament to ease its bubble-bursting nightmares. James Anderson might be the most dangerous scorer in the country, but he can't take the Cowboys anywhere if they don't make it to the tournament.

five games by five or less points and three of them were to ranked teams.
At 5-7 in the Big 12, Kansas sits neither on the outside nor the inside of the tournament bracket it is, then, a true bubble team. Those close losses are part of the reason the Jayhawks are immersed in tournament conversation. Kansas lost against No. 3 Nebraska 67-60 on Feb. 10 after leading late in the second half and fell against then-No. 14 Texas 85-82 in double overtime on Feb. 13.
Yet Kansas can also claim some quality victories, most coming from the nonconference schedule. It defeated Michigan 77-66 on Nov. 22. It ousted UCLA 53-49 on Dec. 3 in a contest that wasn't decided until the final second. It handily beat Creighton 75-66 on Dec. 13. All of those victories came with help from then-healthy guards senior Danielle McCray and freshman Angel Goodrich.
Parkes said the selection committee is well aware of the injuries and how the team responded to them.
"You look at the whole body of work," Parkes said. "When you get down to the last handful of teams to go in, you're looking for something that might separate one team from another. Sometimes that separation is miniscule."
Since the two severe injuries, Kansas has refused to mull around and call it a lost season. Instead, the Jayhawks have gone 2-3 since McCray's injury and kept their bubble status afloat. Two of those losses were by seven points or fewer against ranked opponents.
"If we can win some games that we're not supposed to, the NCAA will pick us to go," senior guard LaChelda Jacobs said of the tough schedule.
If Kansas can earn more than one victory in those four games, the selection committee will consider the end of the season a success against ranked opponents, regardless of record.
"A losing conference record makes it more difficult, but not impossible," Parkes said.
According to rpratings.com, just seven teams with losing conference records have made the tournament since 2000. While uncommon, if Kansas can split its four remaining games, it stands a chance at 7-9.
Key to the game
Freshman stars
Kansas struggled to keep its most productive players on the floor in a Jan. 20 loss at Iowa State as Danielle McCray sat on the bench with foul trouble for a significant portion of the first half. Kansas is now coming off a loss at Texas Tech where its three most productive players since McCray's injury got into early foul trouble and most failed to heavily contribute. The Jayhawks can scarcely afford to mimic these performances as they need to pull out some wins to keep their dwindling NCAA tournament hopes alive..
Keep an eye on
Carolyn Davis
Freshman forward Carolyn Davis finally saw a dip in her performance last Sunday at Texas Tech. After five straight games of averaging 20-plus points, she scored just four points. That's primarily because of her meager four shot attempts, which indicates that her teammates did not get her the ball in a position to score very often. Davis shot 50 percent from the field against the Red Raiders, and if her teammates had kept feeding her, the game might have ended differently.
Opponent to watch
Davis
Kelsey Bolte
Iowa State senior guard Kelsey Bolte has played especially well in her most recent contests. The Cyclones needed Bolte to step up as Allison Lacey, the team's leading scorer, sat on the bench for one game with a concussion. In Bolte's last three games, she has averaged more than 16 points per game. Bolte was not a big factor in a Jan. 20 victory against the Jayhawks as she scored just five points on 2-of-7 shooting from the field.

Gordon still needs to impress Rovals
SURPRISE, Ariz. — The Kansas City Royals are still waiting for Alex Gordon to have that breakout season after picking him second overall in the 2005 draft
In three big league seasons,
Hip surgery last April 17 derailed Gordon's season. He missed 79 games and hit just .232 with six home runs and 22 RBIs in 49 games. He was swinging so poorly in August the Royals sent him to the minors.
Gordon has a .250 career average and has struck out 300 times in 1,200 at-bats.
While Gordon is penciled in to
open the season as the starting third baseman, he does have competition for the first time in spring training. The Royals acquired third baseman Josh Fields from the Chicago White Sox in an offseason.

Walks rescue Jayhawks' offense
BY BEN WARD
bward@kansan.com

BASEBALL
A quick look at the final score from Kansas' 9-5 victory Monday against Eastern Michigan evokes thoughts of an offensive barrage.
That couldn't be further from the case.
The Jayhawks built a 3-1 lead in a traditional fashion, led by RBI hits from sophomore James Stanfield and senior infielder Robby Price.
But in the bottom of the eighth inning, Kansas tacked on six more
runs without even registering a hit. The Eastern Michigan pitchers simply couldn't find the strike zone, walking eight batters, hitting another and throwing a wild pitch in the frame.
"That was one of the weirdest innings I've ever seen played," Price said.
Stanfield

Despite the
Price
lofty run total, Kansas' offense was far from efficient.
The Jayhawks' offense mustered only four hits in their 9-4 victory, and eight in both games of the doubleheader combined, prompting coach Ritch Price to call their offense "nonexistent."
Part of Kansas' lack of offensive firepower can be attributed to playing without junior third baseman Tony Thompson. But the Jayhawks also couldn't practice outside.
Price said he estimated that weather had cost Kansas at least seven outdoor practices since the beginning of the season, forcing the team to practice indoors.
Although the indoor facilities at Hoglund Ballpark and Anschutz are havens from snow, nothing can replace live fire outdoors.
"Our number of strikeouts with
runners in scoring position was absolutely alarming." Price said. "We worked the counts to get into fast-ball situations, but then we couldn't hit them."
"As hard as we've worked at it, clearly our hitters were not ready." Price said.
That unpreparedness showed, as the jayhawks struggled to advance runners by putting the ball in play even after working the count in their favor. In two games against Eastern Michigan, Kansas totaled 18 strikeouts and left 17 on base.
Often a base hire isn't required to get the job done. Productive outs
— hits that advance runners — and sacrifice bits are instrumental to a team's offensive success.
"it's huge getting the job done just with sacrifice flies and moving the runner over", junior outfitter
Brian Heere said.
The Glass Menagerie, 2009
These types of plays are impossible to discern from just looking at a box score. But they don't go unnoticed by the Jayhawks.
"As hard as we've worked at it, clearly our hitters were not ready."
Interested in attending productions at the University Theatre at no cost?
"We don't just keep a regular book here. We keep a hitting execution book with its own point system," junior outfielder Jimmy Waters said, "everything from moving runners over, getting a guy in from third with less than two outs."
Price says he is optimistic Kansas can respond similarly to last seasons early struggles, when they exploded for 17 runs in the next two games against No.21 Arkansas.
to maintaining a workman-like ap-
proach at the plate.
Early season slumps at the plate are common. Price said he noticed similarities between Monday's lack of offensive production and the beginning of last season against Memphis, when the layhawks scored only five runs in two losses

Senior guard Sherron Collins shoots a layup against Colorado Saturday.
Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
victories would be a disservice to the man who Self said was, at times, the best player in the conference not named Kevin Durant as early as his freshman season.
"There was a time in our league, when he was a freshman and other coaches told me this, when they viewed him as the second best player in our league behind Kevin Durant." Self said. "You couldn't guard him. I mean, there was a stretch when he was that good."
Even before that, Self said he knew Collins was destined for great things.
"Sherron and Ty Lawson were the two best guards coming out that year." Self said of recruiting Collins. "It was neck and neck who was the best one. I thought he would be this good. I never thought he'd be a four-year guy."
Lucky for Self, then, that when Collins landed on campus, he fell in love with the tradition surrounding Lawrence and the basketball program at Kansas. Unlike Lawson, who left North Carolina for the NBA after three years, Collins stuck around.
As early as his freshman year, Collins showed his propensity to deliver in the spotlight.
In his first career game against Missouri, Collins uncorked a then career-high 23 points, leading the Jayhawks to a three-point victory against the Tigers in Allen Fieldhouse. In his first game at Kansas State, it was a similar story as he hit 8-of-11 shots to lead Kansas with 20 points in a 71-62 victory.
His sophomore season was no different.
When the lajahwaks needed a basket to tie Memphis with the clock winding down in the national championship game. Self put the ball in Collins' hands, who brought it down the floor and had a tumbling, contested assist on Mario Chalmer's now famous three.
"Sherron could've left after his sophomore year if he was healthy," Self said. "If his body hadn't almost failed him, he probably would've been our leading scorer on that National Championship team."
But Collins has always been about team. His basketball skills benefit team first, rather than the
individual.
He isn't the greatest athlete on the floor. He's never dunked in a Kansas uniform. He's never broken individual scoring records for a game or a season, like Henry already has. What Collins does possess, though, is an inherent knowledge of the game that likely rivals any player in the conference, and perhaps the nation.
"If you study him every day in practice, the guy has unbelievable basketball savvy," Self said. "The questions that he asks are questions that make a head coach think, 'Man, he's got a point here.' He sees the game, and the game is in slow motion for him usually. He doesn't shoot it enough to put up big numbers. He's playing to win, and that's what point guards are supposed to do."
It was only fitting, then, that on the night Collins set the record
- passing Raef LaFrentz, Billy Thomas and C.B. McGrath, players on the 1995-98 team - the Jayhawks also accomplished the first team goal of the season: winning the Big 12.
"Can't describe the feeling right now. It's great," Collins said.
"There's been a lot of hard work these last four years and the years before that. There have been a lot of greats before us, so this means more. It's for the University. We did it for everybody. Words can't even explain."
When the Jayhawks were presented with the Big 12 Championship trophy once again Monday night, it was Collins who held it, kissed it, raised it high in the air and led the procession off the floor with smiles all around.
"Sherron is — he's our guy," junior center Cole Aldrich said. "He's the guy that's been there through thick and thin with all of us. He's been our leader for the last four years."
Self said there's one factor that makes the most sense in Collins' returning to Kansas for what has proven to be a historic senior year.
"He likes to win," Self said. "The kid's legacy to me is, there been a lot of great players here, and he's going to win more than any of them. That, to me, is pretty strong."

editor's note //
For the longest time, I was convinced that I was not my mother's daughter. My bright blue eyes and blonde hair, traits inherited from my father, contrast with her warm, brown eyes and short, brown bob. She is quiet and reserved, internalizing emotions while I spit mine out with an ungraceful urgency. She analyzes numbers and codes designing computer software, while I spend hours agonizing over sentences, their meanings and implications.
I couldn't translate my mother's high school experiences to my own. I was the part-athlete, part-honor student, part-chairleader who would've ignored her, the girl wearing thick-rimmed glasses and wielding National Forensics League medals. In a sense, I thought I was better, and most definitely cooler, than she ever was.
Any sense of arrogance I had in high school quickly vanished when I arrived in Lawrence. I became my mother — a shy student unsure of what to do and where to go. With all familiarity
three hours away, she was the only person I could turn to.
Leaving her made me value our communication more, and realize that we are surprisingly similar. We both have a stubborn sense of independence — hers acquired from being a single parent and mine from her example. We're fiercely competitive, on and off the volleyball court. And she is the reason I love football more than any girl should, having taught me about post routes and the option run by the Huskers on Satursdays.
The one quality my mother has that I can only hope to attain is her selflessness. This is a woman who let me attend college out-of-state, let me venture to London freshman year, and when I still felt lost, let me return to Europe to figure it all out. She gives me the opportunities that she never had, which amazes me.
Moms deserve to be appreciated and recognized for their endless love and support. Check out Adam's essay on page 15 to see how his relationship with his mother developed.
I may not have always been able to identify with her, but I now realize that turning into my mother may not be such a bad thing.

Q&A // SARAH SILVERMAN
because we have questions, celebrities have answers.
Sarah Silverman may be best known for a music video about cheating on her then boyfriend, Jimmy Kimmel, with a famous celebrity, Matt Damon, but don't let that fool you. Since her days of working as a writer for Saturday Night Live, Sarah has paid her dues in the entertainment industry. She just started a new season of her satirical show, The Sarah Silverman Program, on Comedy Central and released Season 2, Part 2 on DVD earlier this month.
Jayplay Do any of your story ideas come from real life?
Sarah Silverman: There's a couple of episodes where I get obsessed with my neck, and that's definitely from truth. This is my take on the neck: Why isn't there bone there? There's so much important stuff in your throat. Why isn't it protected by some sort of extended rib cage or bone? It freaks me out.
J.P. Is there anything you won't talk about on the show?
SS The one thing I do tend to say is I don't like fat jokes about women unless it's crazy funny. It usually just bums me out when people make fat jokes about women. We live in a country where fat men still deserve love, and fat women, it's like they don't deserve love and that's scary and upsetting to me.
JP
SS
JP
Is the Sarah you play on the show the real-life you?
I hope not, because she's an asshole. I always think of her as an arrogant, ignorant person, which is an awful combination, but fun to watch. The thing about the Sarah I play on the show is that she's always looking for an identity to put on. I think the real way to go about it in life is to discover who you are from the inside out. She decides who she wants to be from the outside in. I think that exists in people looking for an identity without looking inside themselves.
SS
What are you trying to accomplish this season?
SS
SS. I think our goal is to be aggressively stupid. You'll see a definite amount of gross this season. I think it's the funniest and best season in terms of quality, character and story. We've definitely topped ourselves this year. We're hoping people will tune in.
SS
Would people be offended by your humor?
IP
We're not looking to offend anybody, but we're looking to make ourselves laugh. It doesn't make sense in comedy to try to not offend anybody, because you never know what's going to offend people. We don't censor oursels and Comedy Central's pretty cool about not censoring us. Even when they tell us we have to cut something or that we can't say something, we fight it and usually, we win.
SS
Do you ever feel pressure to constantly be funny?
I guess sometimes if I'm performing or if I'm with people I don't know I will sometimes go into host mode where I want to make sure everybody's having a good time and is entertained. That's probably an instinct in me that has been the reason why I became a comic. It's that need to make sure everybody's laughing or having a good time. Most of my friends are comics or writers and we do just sit around doing bits and laughing, but we can be serious too.
Do people ever say, "Hey, you're that! I'm Fucking Matt Damon' chick, right?"
It's not like I'm complaining about it. It is amazing how many people think they're the first ones to say, "Hey, are you still fucking Matt Damon?" And I have to be like "Ha
ha, yeah. No." It's just like "Really? You think you're the first one to come up with that?" That's amazing to me. At the same time, I'd probably be the one saying that too if I wasn't me. I take it with a grain of salt and I overall appreciate it.

THAT'S FUNNY
The game of improv might not be as hard to play as you thought
ordy Altman just wanted to get funny people together and laugh. He had participated in forensics all through high school, but when he came to the University he had no outlet for his favorite act of creativity, improv. So
Altman rounded up friends and former forensics competitors to get together and play improv games once a week. And what started as a handful of people quickly grew into 20, and Stitch Tactics was created.
Three years later, Altman has graduated, but Stitch Tactics lives on. Other groups have formed including Those People, who perform a few times a month both in Lawrence and in Kansas City. Garrett Kelly, Tonganoxie senior and a member of Those People, says the jokes seem funnier in Lawrence because the crowd is closer to the group's key demographic.
To put it simply, improv is unrestricted theater, says Doug Shaw, director of the improv troupe Half-Masted at the University of Northern Iowa. There are two forms of improv: short-form and long-form. Short-form improv is based on short games that involve audience suggestions, such as the ABC comedy show, Whose Line is it Anyway? In short-form improv, the focus is on the characters' actions, not what happens to the characters in the end. In long-form improv, the audience has a stake in the character's well-being and should care what happens to the characters. Long-form improv can take many shapes. Shaw's students improvise entire Shakespearean plays while other groups improvise songs or raps.
Long-form improv tends to be risikier because it is easier for the audience to lose interest. Shaw says, If the audience loses interest in short-form improv, their attention can be regained with the next game. "Every part of improv is hard," Shaw says. "One isn't harder or easier, just riskier."
Those People tend to stick with long-form improv, but Kelly says they like to start their shows with a little stand-up to get the audience in a laughing mood. Once everyone is loosened up, they take suggestions from the audience and improvise scenes, songs, raps or whatever comes to mind.
Games are a great way for improv performers to hone their skills. Stitch Tactics was formed around short-form games. Altman says some of the group's favorites include "murder," which is when one person, either a performer or audience member, is sent out of the room. The players and audience then decide on a murder weapon, the location of the murder and an occupation for the murderer. Then the person returns and must figure it out, but the performers only speak in
jilberish. Altman describes this as a "native game" because someone is completely churless.
"Party quirks" features one person hosting a party and each guest has a unique quirk that the host must figure out.
"Freeze" is an improv scene that never ends. Two actors start, then another actor yells, "Freeze!" and tags out one of the original actors. A new scene must begin from the same position the other one ended. Altman says this was one of the first improv games, and is one of the best exercises.
"Just like life, some people are better than others," says Kent Skov, founder of the L.A. Connection comedy group. Skov has worked with and trained some pretty funny people, including Will Ferrell and Robin Williams, since he started the group in 1977.
Shaw, director of Half-Masted, says a common mistake improvers make is trying to think of clever jokes instead of listening and reacting. "Jokes happen when writers spend hours writing, but in improv they ruin scenes."
I. T. Nagle, Osawatomie junior and member of Those People, had no experience when he joined the troupe a year and a half ago. Now, Those People are selling out shows and have clubs begging them to perform. For a group of college students, performing in a major city has opened up a lot of doors. "That many more people are seeing us and like us and want to do shows with us," he says. "It's nice. Some of us aren't even allowed in some of the clubs we perform at!"
It's hard to teach people to be funny,butthere are techniques that can be used to increase humor.Here are a few rules of the game of improv from comedian Kent Skov.
TITANIC ROCKS

Funny business: The act of improv can be found all over the country and even in local groups in Lawrence. One of those groups. Those People plays improv games like "Murder" or "Party Quilks."
1
Always further the scene and add information. This includes not denying anything. Saying "no" just kills the scene.
Introductions are important. If you can't say it, you can't do it. If you can't describe what you're going to do, you won't be able to do it.
3
2
Develop distinct characters by changing speech patterns, physical appearance and changing where the person's center is (think of where a person leads from — Dolly Parton would lead from her chest, but a pregnant woman would lead with her stomach.) "Be like a chameleon: Blend in, but change and alter yourself from audience suggestions," Skov says.
4
Don't think — listen, then react. Planning improv doesn't work, because others don't know what you're thinking.
5
Don't ask needless questions.
Ken Skaw is the founder of the L.A.
Connection comedy group.

this weekend // ALUMINUM ENTERTAINMENT because those CSI marathons are getting old.
After witnessing this performance, you'll never look at kitchen foil the same.
Unlike a typical theater production, The Aluminum Show offers its audience an interactive visual experience. The show features a group of athletic dancers and performance artists from Israel. They use their talent and skills to manipulate metal puppets, foil sheets, balloons and giant metal shapes. The props literally come off stage, offering a variety of pleasant surprises and inviting the audience to participate in this arrangement of movement and metals. The performers breathe life into this cold, industrial material through stunts, special effects and an original soundtrack.
Ilan Azriel, artistic director of "The Aluminum Show," founded the production in 2003. Azriel was inspired by aluminum because of its natures as both flexible and durable.
The show gives the concept of recycling a new meaning because the props and costumes are all made from aluminum. They have reinvented the traditional uses of aluminum through physical theater and entertainment.
"It brings out imagination. The idea was to transform people to a new world where aluminum and metal comes to life," says David Azulay, founder and president of Teev Events.
a production company that presents an array of Israeli, Jewish and global cultures to America. Azulay says the audience is witness to a strange and imaginary world.
From the Netherlands to Greece, "The Aluminum Show" has toured for seven years all over the globe. You can see the performance at 7:30 p.m., Friday at the Lied Center.

ALTERNATIVE
MUSIC
Mandolin madness: Learning to play an 'alternative' instrument such as the mandolin or unrelated may pareisier than mastering the standard garage band instruments and may provide a path to rock-star status.

Ditch the rhythm guitar and pick up a ukulele for an easier path to becoming a rock star //ABBY OLCESE
A
t some point in their lives, many people harbor a dream of becoming a rock star. Usually these visions revolve around electric guitar, bass or drums.
But increasingly, instrument preferences seem to be getting more diverse. Artists such as the Punch Brothers, Sufjan Stevens and Bela Fleck are repopularizing lesser-used instruments such as mandolin and banjo. At Mass Street Music, 1347 Massachusetts St., employee and local musician Jason Jones says he's seen more interest in the instruments from college-age customers. The ukulele, too, appears to be making a comeback, being used by musicians ranging from YouTube phenomenons such as Jake Shimabukuro to manistream artists such as Jason Mraz. With artistlike these getting attention for playing different instruments, people are making the choice to start learning alternative instruments themselves.
Learning to play an instrument with no previous musical training may seem like a difficult task, but it's not impossible. In fact, it's pretty common. Thom Alexander, founder of the Americana Music Academy, 1419 Massachusetts St., says at least half of his students are adults who always wanted to learn to play an instrument but never got the chance.
"They grow up, get jobs, have kids, and after a while decide 'Well, heck! I wanna learn this stuff now!' Alexander says. He says that learning an instrument as an adult can actually have advantages because adults have more control over their fingers.
Sometimes, learning an alternative instrument can be less difficult than learning to play the guitar or drums. Hawley Shoffner, 2009 graduate and Lawrence musician, says she finds "odd" instruments are easier to pick up than "normal" ones. Shoffner plays a variety of instruments including ukulele, accordion and kazoo. She says she writes most of her songs on ukulele because it's easier to figure out the chords. "It's ridiculously easy to play," she says.
The internet has also made it easier for people to see others successfully playing different instruments, Schoffner says.
Jones is also a fan of the ukulele, which he started playing in college. He says that for people who are interested in learning an instrument, but have little musical training, it's a good way to start. "It's a quick-result instrument," Jones says. "There are fewer strings, and they're thinner."
Shoffner says she thinks musicians' increased exposure on the internet has helped drum up interest in diverse kinds of instruments. "It's a lot easier to record your own music now, and you don't have to be super talented to play a show by yourself," Shoffner says. "You can just play cutely instruments and it works out."
Both Jones and Alexander say that time is the biggest issue when it comes to learning a new instrument. Alexander says that with lessons it's not too difficult for new musicians to figure out how to play as long as they're committed to practicing. Sometimes it can take as little as six months.
"You'll have a better experience learning because you're playing something that plays right and sounds right, instead of having to work with something that doesn't sound like it should," Jones says.
For beginning banjo and mandolin players looking for a good instrument to learn on, Jones suggests Deering Goodtime banjos and Gold Tone mandolins. At $379 for the banjo and $322 for the mandolin, they're not cheap, but Jones says the investment is worth it.
For new musicians, this is encouraging news. Sure, it may take a while before you can jump on stage and bust out a performance of "Dueling Banjos." But if you're willing to squeeze in some time for a little practice, that goal isn't impossible. Who knows? After a few years, you may even beat Bela Fleck's record 27 Grammy nominations. Only time will tell. Jp

Boomin' beats! A pretty pair of phones may seem a bit extreme, but in actuality they can take your music listening to a whole other level of experience. When in the market for headphones, experts say to consider quality, comfort and function.
ristine frequencies aren't the only thing Reggie Smith gets when he wears his headphones. He gets
an experience.
"I don't have to worry about anything else when I am wearing them. I'm completely immersed in the music," says Smith, a Leawood sophomore and alocal DJ. He invested and bought his pair of Ultrasone DJ1 Pro full-sized headphones online for $235. They are binaural headphones, which means that they stimulate the pinnae, or outer ears, and create a realistic sense of the audio playback coming from any direction, not just left or right. The desired effect can place you in the room of the recording and me away with
The right pair of headphones will make you feel as if you are in the music, not just listening to it. Yet expensive professional DJ headphones aren't required for improving your listening experience. There are hundreds of 'phones out there that can provide a transient experience, but the trouble is knowing what to look for.
Considerthefollowinginformation for your audio adventure.
Untangle tech specs
Unfamiliar technical specifications can be the most daunting factor
when comparing headphones. When looking at specs, it's best to keep it simple. Focus on the frequency response range. The average frequency response range is 50 to 20,000 hertz says Scott Houston, product specialist for Sennheiser, an audio equipment manufacturer. Humans can typically only hear between 20 and 20,000 hertz." Headphones that go past that frequency range make the response smoother and more natural, like
human hearing is supposed to be," Houston says.
Deter hearing damage
...
In-ear headphones sometimes get a bad rap for being in the ear canal, but hearing damage from headphone use is entirely up to the user, not the design. People adapt to the volume of music they are listening to very quickly, Houston says. Most people
wear in-ear headphones when they are in noisier environments such as subways or buses because of their portability. Because people adapt to what they are listening to, they constantly turn up the volume to compensate for their noisy environment. "If you are exposed to certain amplitude for even five minutes it can cause hearing damage," Houston says. "It's up to the user to prevent that."

Hearing aid. A great set of headphone to increase the quality of music that you are listening to. Features like frequency, noise-cancellation and build of the headphone jack can all give your tunes an extra boost.
Noise-cancelling considerations
...
There are two types of noise-cancelling headphones can provide passive and active. Passive cancelling comes from the physical sound barriers that headphones provide, such as the plastic and foam against the ear. Active cancelling is the electronic manipulation of sound waves. "There is a single or pair of microphones that hear a certain set of frequencies and cancel it out in the headphones," Houston says. The cancellation is done by the headphones producing similar sound waves of what the microphone is hearing. The produced sound waves
are then shifted over to create a tight zipper effect for the frequencies that results in quieter noise.
Size doesn't mean jack
The standard width for audio jacks used to be 6.35 millimeters. Today's standard of 3.5-mm jacks came with the advent of the Sony Walkman and other portable devices. Though the sound quality may not be affected by the size, it can be affected by the material of the jack." Most people prefer a gold-plated material because gold is a better conductor." Houston says. Better conductivity ensures better signal strength to the headphones.
THE LOW-DOWN ON HI-FI MEASUREMENTS: A GLOSSARY
SENSITIVITY How well the headphones can respond to the volume demands of the electrical signal, such as an MP3 player. The higher the sensitivity, the louder the headphones can get.
DISTORTION — Refers to any deviations the headphones may cause from the original signal. The lower percentage, the better.
IMPEDANCE — Measures the electrical load of the headphone on the amplifier driving the headphone. Impedance measures the number of headphones that could operate off a source.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (SNR) — A measurement of the amount of noise added by the electrical circuit reproducing the music signal. This can refer to the amount of white noise that can be heard at higher volume levels. A higher SNR means less white noise.
Investigate different styles
Technology has made it so that in-ear headphones can compete with most full-size headphones in terms of sound quality. "It just depends on comfort and what you are going to use them for," Eric Sapozhnikov, sales associate for Abt Electronics, says. The little things can make a big difference in your satisfaction. Do they fold in for portability? Is the cord split or does it conveniently go only into one side? Will your head be comfortable after wearing them for an hour? Pay attention and find what features fit your needs better.
Isolated or exposed?
There are some extra considerations for design when choosing over the ear headphones. Closed-back and Open-Air styles influence the amount of passive noise-cancelling. "Closed-back isolate the listener from the outside environment," says John Chen, national sales director for Grado Labs, a headphone manufacturer in New York. Open-air headphones often have some sort of mesh on the outside of the earcups to act as an auditory vent. "We feel the open-air gives a much better sense of space," Chen says. Consider if you like your music socially or
privately to choose which design would be best for you.
Listen for legitimacy
...
Though many variables affect the sound of headphones, there is really only one good measurement tool. "The final arbitrary is a trained ear," Chen says. He says that during the listening tests of a product, Grado technicians listen to analog recordings of unamplified music so they can examine harmonic structure at its best. Remember natural sounds of unamplified instruments and use your judgment to determine how well the audio device reproduces those sounds, Chen says.
Embrace your entity
Headphones can speak volumes about your personality. The best thing to do is find something that fits your identity. There are plenty of online retailers and credible review sites available to help you get a beautiful great-sounding pair of cans. Reggie Smith recommends using CNET and other websites for reviews and turntablelab.com for purchasing phones. Explore with the mindset of quality, comfort and function for your personal headphones and unleash your inner-audiophile.

Play the guitar, no question! I love music so much and that's always been an instrument I could marvel at anyone playing anything on, any time. I'd love to be able to play and compose serious music on the guitar. It's very difficult to do.
Facebook is actually a guilty pleasure. I hate to admit it - if only because it always feels so unproductive after I've been on it awhile! Also online shopping, reading and I love fashion magazines. I gobble them up. There's a huge unruly stack in my room of all the different editions.
I guess the only thing I wish I'd had would be brothers or sisters closer to my own age. I have half-siblings but they were all graduating high school and in college by the time I was born. I was very close to some of my closer-aged cousins, though, so I think they somewhat helped to fill that role.

Q: What are the best ways to have satisfiesing non-penetrative sex?
The goal of the Thai massage is to use your entire body to massage your partner. The first thing you need to do is cover both of your bodies with soapsuds and with massage oils. Then have one person lie face down on the ground on a

towel while the other person lies on top with his or her belly to their back.
Don't just use your hands, but use your whole body. Try sliding up and down on your partner. Be sure to vary your strokes, rhythm and targeted areas. Then have your partner lay on his or her back and repeat all the same movements on the front of your partner's body. Skin-on-skin contact with your entire body is one of the most sensual feelings you will experience.
You will be surprised and amazed at how great it feels. You can try this massage in virtually any area of your home. You can always put more towels on the ground and use more suds or oils. If you don't like the idea of soapsuds I highly recommend trying scented candles that double as a massage oil. The sensation of the hot oil on your body is also very pleasing. The general rule of massage is: hot + nakedness + slippery = good. Enjoy all the feelings with the Thai massage and enjoy exploring all the parts of your partner. Do yourself and your partner a favor. Get naked, get wet, get warm and explore.

catch of the week // ANDY DRISSELL our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
HOMETOWN: Chesterfield, Mo.
YEAR: Senior
MAJOR: Architecture
INTERESTED IN: Women
Ideal date: Whether it be for coffee and just hanging around Mass Street, or out for dinner and to a show, getting to know someone better and having a good time in Lawrence would be ideal.
Favorite food: Italian and sushi. I prefer trying new dishes to sticking with the usual.
Hobbies/interests: I enjoy hanging out with my friends, listening to and playing music Henry's and the Taproom on Satdays and traveling. Seeing new places is the best.
Favorite quote: "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana." — Groucho Marx
Majorturnoffs: Dishonesty and self-centeredness. I don't have much patience for that.
Major turn-ons: I really like girls that have a good attitude and are into what they are doing. Life's too short to not be enjoying it. Blue eyes, brown hair and bangs are all great, too.
Notices first in a potential partner: A good smile. I can blame my being raised in a dentist's home for this, but someone's smile says a lot about them.
Ideal getaway: I have my eye set on Cinque Terre at the moment. It's a chain of five Italian villages along the Italian coast. Anywhere in the Mediterranean would be ace.
Dream job: Making a job out of traveling would be pretty great, but as long as I'm working with people, enjoying what I'm doing and doing something architecture-related I'll be happy.

BEING FRIENDS
// KATY SAUNDERS
WITH YOUR EX
Break-up sex doesn't have to be the last time you see your ex
Mary
Awkward silence Things between you and your ex may be uncomfortable at first, but in order to be friends it's important that both parties make an effort. Taking some time apart to accept the decision is usually a good way to start being civil towards one another.
Photo illustration by Jerry Wang
After dating for 10 months, Nakai Marr, Lawrence freshman, decided to break up with her boyfriend. She was about to graduate high school and says she thought the two of them were in different phases of their lives. After the split, she avoided hallways and other key hangout areas because she knew seeing him would only make things harder. Although she knew her ex was hurting, Nakai still wanted to try to be friends.
For some people, being friends with an ex is out of the question. For others, an ex can become a friend, a fling, or eventually just a forgotten lover. Whether you're a skeptic on the subject like Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally or an optimist like Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, consider the possibility of being friends after a split. If the breakup was messy and not mutual, then a path to friendship is unlikely. But, if both parties are willing to have a non-sexual, non-romantic relationship, it is possible.
First, you must both accept why the breakup occurred says author and radio host, Debbie Mandel. Since it is an emotional split between two people, some measure of pain will be experienced on both sides of the romantic equation, but the key is to understand why the separation occurred. Accepting that something is not going to work, and then finding a way to live with it is more than half the battle Mandel says.
Another key component is to allow time and space apart immediately following the split. Time allows for a chance to reflect on the relationship, accept that it's over and figure out what steps to take next. The best thing to do is to make it known that you're sincere in your efforts to become friends.
It took Betsy Wilson, Shawnee senior, almost a year before her and her ex could reconnect on a friends level. "I don't believe people can be friends immediately after a breakup," Wilson says. "But, over time you accept things and heal and when your feelings go away it can lead to being friends."
Becoming friends again after sharing so many intimacies can sometimes feel complex. But it is crucial that you establish what kind of friendship you're going to have with complete honesty, which is why it is important to set boundaries. After sharing so many things with someone, you get comfortable with them. Most of the time it is that friend you miss the most. Turning your former lover into a friend with benefits will only decrease your chance of keeping them in your life, especially as a friend.
J. J. Smith, dating expert and author of *Why I Love Men: The Joys of Dating*, says friends with benefits should also be avoided if you want to give
yourself the best chance of attracting new love into your life. "Most people looking to establish a meaningful relationship with someone are not going to want to deal with exes still sleeping with their former lover." Smith says.
After a breakup we tend to want to continue knowing the person who is leaving. We don't want the happier times to end and we certainly do not want to stop seeing the person. That's what makes breakups so damn hard and complicated. Once you can accept that the relationship was not a mistake, you can then validate yourself, your ex and the experience and move on.
If you find yourself wondering where the love goes after a breakup, Marr says time finds a place for it. "Being in love with someone stays in the past," says Marr. "But loving someone stays with you forever." *Jp*
Jealousy can definitely be a sign you are not ready to be friends with an ex. A good sign you're too jealous is when you ask your ex to censor discussion of new dates or significant others in your presence.
FIVE SIGNS YOU'RE NOT READY TO BE FRIENDS WITH AN EX
2. You try to make him or her jealous
1. When you find out your ex is dating someone else, you want to scratch his or her new lover's eyes out.
It should truly be about a friendship and not constantly reminding him or her what he or she is missing.
3. You're still at home bawling your eyes out.
If the Kleenex and chocolate wrappers are still littering your bed, give the breakup more time.
Time and space apart will really allow you to gain perspective on the situation.
Making that physical connection just prolongs the recovery period and gives some people false hope of repairing the relationship. It's just a better idea not to get physically involved after a breakup... no matter how hot your ex is.
5. You're starting a new relationship. (And you want it to succeed.)
When setting out in a new relationship, it's typically a good idea to let exes be exes. You may know in your heart that the former relationship is well over, but your new flame may not be so sure.
Based on 'Six rules for being friends with an ex' by Ami Angelowicz
4. You're still tempted physically by your ex.

REVIEW
movie review // 'SHUTTER ISLAND'
Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
Originally slated for an October 2009 release date, Shutter Island would have been the perfect Halloween movie. Instead, it's one of the best films ever to grace the cinematic doldrums of February. It's the rare thriller that refuses to insult its audience's intelligence, never substituting cheap scare tactics for ruthlessly efficient suspense and a shocking, satisfying payoff.
Shutter Island, based on a novel by Mystic River scribe Dennis Lehane, unfurls with surgical precision, with many sequences veiled in a fog of dreams and memory. The year is 1954 and notorious murderer Rachel Solondo (Patricia Clarkson) has escaped from her cell on Shutter island, a sprawling mental hospital built on the burnt-out shell of an old Civil War fortress in Boston Harbor. U.S. Marshalls Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) are dispatched to recapture her.
After touring the treacherous grounds, Teddy questions the asylum's head doctors, the dapper Dr. Cawley (Ben Kingsley) and the sinister Dr. Naechring (Max Von Sydow). Both men seem to have something to hide, and the ensuing investigation embroils Teddy in a web of intrigue that includes allegations of murder, brainwashing and human experimentation ghastly enough to make
Joseph Mengele blush.
Leonardo DiCaprio gives one of the finest performances of his increasingly distinguished career as Teddy, whose straight-laced G-man persona hides a tortured past that includes the liberation of a Nazi death camp and the ever-present specter of his dead wife (a haunting Michelle Williams). Von Sydow and Kingsley both contribute their usual dramatic brilliance; particularly Kingsley with his oily, scenery-chewing gravitas.
Scorsese presides over the film with the power and elegance of a master at the top of his game. His style blends Hitchcock with Shining-era Kubrick, resulting in a psychological thriller that feels timeless in its terror. I haven’t been this disturbed or enthralled by an American horror movie since David Lynch’s Inland Empire. Let’s just hope Scorsese doesn't wait another 20 years to give us more of his beautiful nightmares.

book review // 'WHISTLING IN THE DARK'
reading. it's not just for textbooks, you know.
In her debut novel, Whistling in the Dark, Lesley Kagen brings a moving tale of two very close sisters growing up in Milwaukee. It is the summer of 1959 and after their mother is suddenly ill, the O'Malley sisters, Sally and Troo, are off on an adventure that turns out to be a life changing summer.
The coming-of-age story is told from the innocent point of view of 10-year-old Sally. The preoccuous child is considered "too imaginative" by society. Sally is trying to deal with many issues, making her a character who is easy to fall in love with. She is instructed to work on her personality and focus on taking care of Troo.
With a murderer and a molesher on the loose in this normally quiet town, caring for her sister will be harder than Sally ever imagined. She is convinced that this killer will come after her and there is no way she can avoid it. The only thing she can do is try to protect her sister.
With their father's recent death, mother's illness, stepfather's drunken abandonment and older sister's preoccupation with her boyfriend, Sally and Troo must learn how to take care of themselves. On the diverse street of Ville, nothing is as innocent as it seems.

MISUNDERSTANDING MY MOTHER After years of fighting, I finally came to respect my mom for the sacrifices she made for me //ADAMVOSSEN
Mary Jo and Robbie
Coming to terms. Adam used to disagree with his seemingly over-strict mother, but eventually realized he shared her stubbornness and came to respect her more deeply. Their relationship matured and Adam became able to make compromises with his mother. It took time and tears, but the two became closer.
Contributed photo
I stared at my mother from across the kitchen. My throat was dry, but my eyes were moist and I wiped snot from my nose. Our fight about my grades, her expectations, my attitude, or any of the usual topics had come to a stand-still: neither of us was willing to back down or try to empathize with the other. These disagreements had become common to us and the rest of our family. My father had retreated to his office, my brothers to their rooms, all much less confrontational than my mother or myself.
When my oldest brother started daycare my mom went back to work. But she wasn't there long before she made the decision to quit her job and be a stay-at-home mom. My brother wasn't alone for long. By the time he was 4 years old, my two younger brothers and I had come along. My mother dealt with us in probably the only way there is to deal with having four sons in a four year time period: She made rules and those rules were enforced.
When chatting on AOL instant messenger was the big thing in middle school, she put an hour time limit on our accounts. It wasn't just a parentally enforced rule that I could sneak around. My account was programmed to kick me off as soon as my hour was up. While the other kids at school came in without homework done but having seen plenty of the WB the night before I wondered why I had lost out so much in the parental lottery.
My parents insisted we did our homework before any other activity, and my mom enforced this rule vehemently. My school began using an online grading system and parents had the option to check grades at any time. Of course my mother used this — I felt like no detail of my life went unchecked. I wanted the "cool clothes" and those clothes cost more than my mother thought was necessary for a middle school boy to have. Every time I ventured into Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister, my mother would make disparaging comments about the price tags and quality of the clothes. Why didn't she understand that this was not only cool, but necessary?
She looked down on some of the friends I made unabashedly judging the way they were raised and claiming that their parents were too permissive. I wasn't allowed to hang out with them outside of school. Being an overdramatic young teen, I envisioned myself as a prisoner of her rules. It seemed like no one else at school had these restrictions or had to deal with "old-fashioned ideals," and it infuriated me to have to live in what I thought was such a suffocating atmosphere.
My brothers grumbled about these things but none had the battles that my mother and I did. Discussions that turned into screaming matches that turned into tears became our only communication between days of silence. There was no sort of progress. We both thought we were
right and the other was wrong. I saw my mother as a rigid and uncompromising ice queen. I came to loathe being at home and didn't hesitate in vocalizing this.
Being in high school and having a driver's license made things more bearable, but I still found reason to complain. I was only allowed to go out one night a weekend, never on weeknights, and my curfew was a concrete midnight. I felt like she was trying to ruin my social life. Didn't she understand how important it was for a 16-year-old to be able to do whatever until whenever?
And then somewhere between my junior and senior year of high school, I made an important realization. I had always known that the reason my mom and I could never seem to agree was because we were both stubborn and opinionated. But I began to notice that those weren't our only similarities. We were loyal, defensive, analytical and impatient. While my brothers had all inherited my father's relaxed sensibility, I realized that I had gotten most of my traits from my mother. We're sarcastic and tightly-wound. We clean frantically to deal with anxiety. We're unable and unwilling
to take the help of others. It was all there.
I couldn't believe that the person who I'd spent a good deal of my post-childhood years misunderstanding was a lot like me. This realization and my rising level of maturity dramatically improved our relationship in my last two years of high school. Instead of fighting, we could discuss and compromise. Maybe she saw that I was growing up and that she could trust me more. Maybe she was finally worn out from all the fighting. Or maybe she had made the same realization I did.
When I went off to college and made new friends, I heard about other family dynamics and saw how these new acquaintances had turned out because of the way they were raised. I had a second important revelation. My mom didn't make me do my homework and stop me from hanging out with people and keep me off instant messenger because she liked being the bad guy. She did all of those things despite knowing she was being the bad guy. She wanted my brothers and me to become the best young men we could, and she knew that being a good mom did not mean being
a well-liked mom.
I thought about the sacrifices she made for us — her career, her social life, her graying hair — and I realized she is one of the most selfless people I know. For all the anger I used to feel toward her the respect I now have surpasses it ten-fold.
There are still disagreements. We're still stubborn and opinionated, but we've both learned to give and take. Home isn't the place that it was when I was an angry young teen anymore. The kitchen that was once our battleground has become a place where we can connect instead of conflict.
I stare at my mother from across the kitchen I laugh as I stand at the bar, chopping tomatoes on a butcher board. She's standing in front of the oven, cooking ground beef in a pot. We're chatting amicably, gossiping about people from my high school and what we've heard about them She's still the same mother, and I'm still the same son, but, thankfully, it's a completely different relationship.

Student group protests blood donation policy
anniev@kansan.com
BY ANNIE VANGSNES anniey@kansan.com
For the first time at the University Queers and Allies protested the Food and Drug Administration's blood donation policy that men who have had sex with other men cannot donate blood.
Members of Queers and Allies tabled in the Kansas Union Thursday to raise awareness and collect signatures for a petition to send to the FDA.
Michael Turner, a freshman from Manhattan, helped organize
the event. Turner said the group wanted to raise awareness about people who want to help save lives, but aren't allowed to.
"We're not protesting against the blood drive or the Red Cross at all," Turner said. "We are totally in support of what they do. We think it's great and we encourage people to donate."
The FDA passed its first policy prohibiting any man who had had sex with another man after 1977 from donating blood in 1983 because of the HIV-AIDS scare.

Monica Soto, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., spent the day tabling for Queers and Allies in hopes of educating the student body about one of the myths about HIV/AIDS and blood donation. The Feb. 25 event was planned to raise awareness about the FDA's ban on accepting blood donations from men who have had sex with other men.

Concert connects community
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
For Fritz Esperance, a Haiti native, the Jan. 12 earthquake was devastating.
His sister arrived in the U.S. recently, after she was found alive but with a spinal injury from the home that crushed her.
Esperance, who is now a Lawrence resident, came to the United States in 1998 with a Haitian student group.
"I was shocked," Esperance said. "I didn't know what to do or what to say."
But most of his family — his mother, father, aunts and uncles — still live in Haiti, and some
have yet to be found.
"We lost," Esperance said. "The death count doesn't matter, the point is we lost."
Since the earthquake hit the country he's been w or k i n g with KU student groups to sponsor events and raise money

A relief worker from the Red Cross who spent time assisting victims of the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti addresses the crowd, calling for more donations and support. She emphasized that working through channels like humanitarian organizations like the Red Cross was necessary, because some people with "good hearts" would do more harm than good by traveling to Haiti without a plan.

As of Thursday, all of the state is set to join Lawrence and other cities in Kansas this summer in banning smoking from bars, restaurants and other public places now that a statewide smoking bill has passed the House.
"This is a move towards a healthier direction for the state of Kansas," said Ken Sarber, a Health and Tobacco educator at Watkins Memorial Hospital.
The bill will go on to Gov. Mark Parkinson, who has previously endorsed the measure and is expected to sign, making the bill effective July 1.

KUliture //Java Break
mmartin@kansan.com
BY MOLLY MARTIN
With midterms coming up,
Anschutz Library, or "Club
Anschutz," will soon be the place
to see and be seen as students
gather to study and, for some,
to crack open that book for the first
time this semester.
Some students, however, prefer a different environment to study in. They prefer a place where they can listen to music from speakers and not from headphones, or a place where they can drink fresh coffee at 2 a.m. instead of coffee dispensed from a box machine and served in Dixie Cups.
For these students, Java Break,
located at 17 E. 7th St., offers such
options.
Jeremy Hochstedder, a lava Break employee, said about half of the people who come to the 24-hour coffee-and-sandwich shop come to hang out and the other half come to study.
"Going to the library is not the equivalent of coming here to hang out," he said.
Hochstedler said Java Break's
patrons see the shop as a place to socialize with friends and, as the evening progresses, finish their homework in the same laid-back environment.
But Java Break isn't just a night spot. It's also a popular and quiet place to study during the day.
Leslie Schulte, a senior from Wichita, said she studies at Java Break at least every other day. Although she never stays there all night, she sometimes works until 2 a.m., preferring Java Break to the campus libraries.
"The library is just an awful environment." Schulte said.
The shop provides a nice alternative because libraries are places of "repressed silence" Hochstedler said. At Java Break, students can socialize and still do well in their classes.
"Strangers come in here all the time to tell me it helped them pass a test," Hochstedler said.

One man's trash is another's interactive stage prop.
BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com
Ilan Azriel, the creator of tonight's performance at the Lied Center,
"The Aluminum Show" got the idea for it while browsing a tool shop in Tel Aviv, Israel. He pulled a tool off a shelf, and it fell on the floor. As it fell, the tool, an aluminum air duct piping, moved in a slinky-type motion. As Azriel watched it move, he pictured it in a much bigger form, with lights, music and dancers. Tonight, his idea will be implemented as part of its first tour of the United States when it makes a stop to perform at the Lied Center.
"Ilan was always very creative, and looking for new ideas for new shows," the U.S. producer of The Aluminum Show, David Azulay, said via telephone in Maryland. "He wanted to create something unique that no one had seen before."
The 75-minute Aluminum Show is similar in genre to Blue Man Group in that it requires audience interaction, but Azulay said the content isn't the same. The props are made of aluminum tubing, foil sheets and balloons — some of which the audience must pass around. Walls become animated, creatures transform and objects turn into dancers during the performance, according to a news release on the event.
Rachel Baram, CEO of Dollbeat Group, the production company that puts on the show, said the performance was compared to a theater spectacle.
"Ilan was inspired by the material," she said, adding that the audience interaction part of the show came about after the company realized that the audience really wanted to touch and understand the material.
"It's a fun show," Azulay said. "People have never seen anything like this."
Kim Spencer, a pre-Pharmacy student from Overland Park and associate director of ticketing at the Lied Center, said the center had never had anything like The Aluminum Show before.
There are six dancers in the performance, and three prop operators who are also part of the show. All of the performers are from or live in Israel.
Azulay said the show had a successful five-week run in Atlantic City in 2008, which planted the seed for its first U.S. tour this year. The tour began in January in New York, performed a three-week stint in Charlotte, N.C., and traveled to Florida before its stop in Lawrence tonight.
THE ALUMINUM
SHOW
"It's something different," Spencer said, adding that as of Thursday,
**WHAT:** An interactive performance similar to Blue Man Group and Stomp
**WHERE:** The Lied Center
**WHEN:** 7:30 p.m. tonight
**COST:** $12 for students and children; $24-28 for adults
about 1,200 tickets were sold, and the capacity for the show would be about 1,900.
The Lied Center Student Association will also accept canned goods tonight as a donation for a food drive that will benefit food pantries in Lawrence.

"People are dying every day," said Kathy Bruner, coordinator for Clean Air Lawrence. "It's been a long five years, but we're awfully proud of Lawrence for being on the forefront."
Kansas Restaurant and Hospitality Association, said that because many of its members were already non-smoking, the association took a neutral stance on the bill.
Yet Sayler and some business owners had hoped for a different bill that would allow exemptions for some bars and restaurants. The current bill allows few exemptions, mainly just for
tobacco shops and casinos.
"If it's that bad, go after the product," Sayler said. "We're protecting the state's interest by not messing with casino revenue, but yet we don't care what it's doing to the private industry."

CALENDAR (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
university registrar, is on the calendar committee and said calendars between fall 2011 and spring 2013 would need to be updated with the new schedule. After this, the changes would need to be approved by the Board of Regents.
If the changes are approved, instructional days would fall from 150 to 146, fall break would fall on a Monday and Tuesday, fall semester would start on a Monday and spring semester
would begin after Martin Luther King Jr. day.
Derritt said a main reason for the changes in the calendar was because fall and spring semesters currently start on a Thursday, which leads to an unequal number of class sessions for those on certain days of the week. She said the changes would be helpful to students' class schedules.
"It more closely balances classes for students," Derritt said. "Particularly the labs and

In addition to a $5 cover fee, LawrenceRocks4Haiti T-shirts were available for $15 and $20. All profits from the show were donated to the American Red Cross for Haiti relief.
Some students came to the show to support the cause but also to enjoy the musical performances.
Ali Edwards, a junior from Meade and a member of Campus Christians, said the concert allowed the Lawrence community to come together for a common purpose.
Organizers said they expected a good turn out because 400 people accepted a Facebook invitation to the event.
Esperance said that the Lawrence community had done a lot for Haiti relief but that more could be done for the country in need. He said he hoped the concert would bring all kinds of people together.
Elliot Johnson, a senior from Wamego, said he came to see his friend, Tyler Gregory, perform and

"To see my best friend play and it's for Hati, there's nothing better than that," Johnson said.
"We want to unite everyone, old people and young people," Esperance said. "It's all about positivity."

Turner said at that time people most commonly associated a high risk of HIV with homosexuals. Turner said some colleges actually ban blood drives on campus because of the discriminatory practices.
In a letter to The University Daily Kansan, Scott Caswell, the American Red Cross regional CEO, said the FDAs policy did not reflect the views of the Red Cross. He said the Red Cross was dedicated to fairness in donor selection regardless of beliefs, race, gender or sexual persuasion.
Caswell said in 2005 the Red Cross worked with AABB, formerly American Association of Blood Banks, and America's Blood Centers to petition the FDA to review its policy. On May 23, 2007 the FDA reaffirmed its support of a lifetime deferral for men who have had sex with men.
Jill Burkoff, FDA Consumer Safety Officer, said there were several checkpoints to the blood donation process that ensured the blood supply was safe for all Americans.
"Please rest assured that this policy is not discriminatory." Burkoff said. "It is risk-based."
Burkoff said men who have had sex with men have an HIV infection rate 60 times higher than the general population and 800 times higher than a first time blood donor. She said the FDA's policy was similar to many other country's policies, including countries in the European Union.
EXAMPLES OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAN'T DONATE BLOOD
Anyone who has ever used intravenous drugs (II legal IV drugs).
- Anyone who has ever received clotting factor concentrates.
Anyone with a positive test for HIV (AIDS virus).
Men and women who have engaged in sex for money or drugs since 1977.

"The FDA welcomes scientific and public input and we reevaluate our policies as new data becomes available," Burkoff said.
She said the FDA was always open to new information, but the current scientific evidence did not support a change in the policy.
Monica Soto, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., helped table Thursday and said Queers and Allies had received mostly positive responses.
She said most of the negative feedback they received were comments on their Facebook event page due to confusion about their reasons for tabling.

"We're not protesting the Red Cross," Soto said. "We love that they're saving lives by people donating blood."
She said there was confusion because people thought Queers and Allies was protesting the blood drive and the Red Cross.

SEXUAL HEALTH
The mysterious female orgasm: Solved
The female orgasm is one of the biggest mysteries in sex. It is as complex as it is desirable.
What we do know is that the sexual response cycle has four stages, from the beginning of arousal until after the orgasm. It begins with "excitement," indicated by increased blood pressure and lubrication. The cycle goes on to the "plateau stage," with a swelling of the muscles in the vaginal area. Next is the actual orgasm, which consists of six to 15 muscular contractions, varying in length. After the climax, women reach the "resolution period" with relaxation of muscles and return to normal breathing.
Even if easy to describe, many men and women get frustrated about the female orgasm. In order to lighten the dark of female pleasure and clear up the mess that orgasm myths have created, here are a few truths and falsities about the center of female satisfaction:
A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
"EVERY WOMAN CAN HAVE AN ORGASM DURING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE."
Let's Talk about Sex
"WOMEN DON'T ENJOY
SEX WITHOUT HAVING
AN ORGASM."
This is both true and false. Although every woman is capable of having an orgasm during sexual intercourse, only about one-third of women actually have them, according to various statistics. The rest can reach an orgasm by additional manual stimulation or with devices, such as a vibrator.

"EVERY WOMAN HAS A G-SPOT."
Whether or not a woman enjoys sex depends on arousal in general. The orgasm is only the third stage of the sexual response cycle. Before that, lubrication and increased blood pressure already indicate a pleasurable feeling. And if you really want to know, ask her. If she's a keeper, she'll probably tell you the truth.

The famous spot, introduced by German gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg in 1950, has led many people on a pleasurable quest, and into frustration. A new study by British researchers at King's College London indicates the G-spot is a myth. Though it is true that there is still not sufficient

"WOMEN CAN'T HAVE MULTIPLE ORGASMS."
False.
Every woman can have multiple orgasms. After an orgasm, a woman can have several more with further stimulation because women don't go through the refractory, or recreational, period after an orgasm like men do. Some may not like to continue after an orgasm, but if they do, they can have many more. Multiple orgasms are very rare during sexual intercourse, but are reachable by manual or oral stimulation. Trying it out is the best method at this point.
Despite scientific evidence for many of these phenomena, every orgasm is different and even the absence of one is not a physical dysfunction. Often, women just haven't really tried it yet. The best way to explore the complexity of your own orgasm is discovering it yourself first.

Facebook stalkers beware
Three words: Facebook status updates.
What's on you
Ah, the ultimate question, and by now, you have probably developed a love/hate relationship with this sentence. What are you thinking? What is it you want to post out into the world to associate with your name? When it comes to a Facebook status update, the opportunities are endless. But be wary of what you post, because it could get you into trouble.
What's on your mind?
Not to bring up the University of Oregon football program again, but it was ex-Duck Jamere Holland's Facebook status update that bashed Chip Kelly.

Streaming video makes fashion more accessible
This is Alexandra Esposito, reporting live from Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Well, sort of
This year, designers gave anyone with the Internet access to their exclusive fashion shows. Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Rodarte and many other top name designers streamed their Fall/Winter 2010 shows live online. This allowed viewers to watch as if they were actually in Bryant Park.
In reality, getting invited to a fashion show during New York Fashion Week is comparable to finding one of Willy Wonka's golden tickets. Seats at one of the shows of the worldrenowned, featured designers are saved exclusively for celebrities, the designers' families and close friends, famous stylists and very lucky fashion journalists. That is, until now.
After the success of the late Alexander McQueen's live stream last season, designers are quickly picking up on the trend and trying out the new concept. And, in the spirit of competition, all of London's fashion week will be streamed online. What's more, Burberry announced that it will stream its Feb. 23 show to New York, Paris, Tokyo and Dubai in 3-D.
However, some members of the fashion community have expressed concern that letting mere mortals watch the shows live will destroy the exclusiveness and air of celebrity that goes along with Fashion Week.
Personally, I think streaming the videos is one of the best ideas the fashion world has produced in a long time. Yes, videos and pictures of these shows end up online eventually. But, the feeling I got in watching Marc Jacobs' designs parade live down the runway to a hip remix of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and knowing I was among the first to see his new line come to life, was an experience that cannot be compared to watching it the next day on YouTube. Even though the show was fewer than 10 minutes long and the connection froze and cut out a few

Top of the line fashion has always been about exclusivity; it's made for the rich and famous who can, and will, buy skirts that cost as much as car payments. Recently, some top designers have begun making more affordable lines, such as "Marc by Marc Jacobs" or Rodarte's recent line for Target. These designers want to make clothes for celebrities as well as college students. Now, with the video streaming, they're allowing both parties to watch their shows.
times, to me, it was like watching the Jayhawks play in a national championship game.
The Web is a tool for sharing information. Forward-thinking design companies should see the value in using this tool to share creations with people all over the world.
This year marks the last year Fashion Week will be hosted in Bryant Park. As the fashion industry grows, the show grew with it. Now, the small grassy park, just a few blocks away from Times Square, is no longer big enough to host its main attraction. As an aspiring fashion journalist, I have always dreamed of going to a show in Bryant Park. Unfortunately, I'll never get to, but at least now I can say I've seen a few.
Fashion, like any entertainment industry, cannot survive without people. Thank you, designers, for inviting the people to your show. This is a trend I definitely approve of and I hope it continues to catch on.

In response to Monday's editorial, "Continue standing up to City for human rights," it is disheartening to hear that, yet again, transgendered people are denied basic human rights because of fear and ignorance.
Any arguments made based upon uninformed and religious ideas should not be valid. It is painful to hear that the transgendered community is seen as "unnatural sexual predators." It is extremely ignorant to say that because a person identifies as a different gender than the one they were born with that they are immediately thought to be dangerous, sick and constantly trying to sexually harass people.
Equality in the law
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
This is an outrageous claim that comes from very close-minded people who have obviously made no attempt to reach out and learn about the community they fear and hate so much.
It has become strikingly more apparent that America is not the "Land of Freedom" it has so long boasted to be. I can respect the rights of people to being religious. However, I can not respect when religious values are used to oppress people. Society must be conscious that not everyone shares the same beliefs.
While, often, we fear what we do not know, when peoples' rights are put on the line, it is the community's responsibility to learn more about the other side. Also, any arguments made based upon religious values, such as "God had standards when he created Adam and Eve," should not be held above all others in courts.
When will we stop our pattern of inflicting ignorant injustice upon people?

Team looks to improve in tourney
BY ZACH GETZ

twitter/zgetz
The Jayhawks left their last tournament in Florida with some momentum and with a tournament in Chattanooga, Tenn., this weekend. Kansas needs to keep and carry that momentum into the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga's Frost Classic.
Kansas struggled offensively early in the season, but coach Megan Smith said she thinks the offense is progressing.
"We're improving every time we go out, and we're improving in practice," Smith said. "We're not where we need to be yet, but were getting there and making strides."
Kansas will again have some tough teams to face, including a Kentucky team that is on the verge of being ranked. The Jayhawks need to keep working hard and remember the little things such as fundamentals, Smith said.
"We are going to make sure we are focusing on ourselves and what we need to accomplish in order to be successful and not on our opponent," Smith said.
Even though the season is well on its way, there is still a lot of enthusiasm among the team members, freshman third baseman Mariah Montgomery said. The enthusiasm
has helped the team stay focused no matter how rough some of the earlier games have been.
Senior shortstop Sara Ramirez.

PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR
"Kind of a good thing about softball is you have so many games in a season," Montgomery said. "If we do bad in one game there is always the next game you can bounce right back."
Ramirez belted two homers at critical times last weekend in helping Kansas grab two victories. She'll need a strong bat to help energize Kansas' offense early in the weekend.

lastweekend and responded with seven hits and three runs with 13 appearances at the plate. Hull could be the next big freshman who steps for Kansas.
KEYS TO THE WEEKEND
Quick start. Kansas is 0-4 on opening days of the tournaments it has played in this season. Kentucky and Tennessee-Chattanooga will be stiff tests, and if Kansas can get a couple of wins on the opening day, the jayhawks could be in great position to win the tournament.
Offense. Kansas averages just over two runs in each of its losses while averaging more than five runs in victories. Kansas needs to come out and establish its hitting early with a tough start to the tournament.
Focus. Now that some of the preseason excitement has worn off and Kansas is stuck in the middle of a 19-game road trip, the team needs to stay focused on what it must do in order to be successful and continue to improve.

"As young as we are and we go out in the first 10 games and be .500, I am pretty pleased with that at this point." — Coach Megan Smith
"I still have a little adapting to do hitting-wise and the brains I have on defense, but I feel like I am adapting pretty well" — Freshman third baseman Mariah Montgomery
"We've had our ups and downs definitely, but people are stepping up when we need them too, and that's definitely what's keeping us in every game." — Senior infielder Alicia Irwin

Mchee wants to make all of his starts, as he did in 2007-08. Last year, back and shoulder injuries limited him to 23 starts and 129 innings.
Mche, who made only four starts after the All-Star break last season, has his sights set on throwing more than 200 innings again in 2010.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Morris fills huge role in McCray's absence
BY ANDREW TAYLOR
ataylor@kansan.com
55 20
If someone traveled back in time to one year ago from last night and watched Kansas pull out a tough victory against Oklahoma State, they might notice a few similar story lines.
Just like this year, Kansas was struggling to make up ground in the Big 12 while attempting to impress the NCAA tournament committee enough to earn a tournament berth. Last year, Kansas' then-junior guard Sade Morris scored 13 points, just the third-most on the team, and that's she needed to do for the Jawhaws to earn a victory.
Junior forward Nicolelette Smith battles amongst two Iowa State players for possession of a loose ball. Kansas remains winless against ranked teams after suffering a 57-54 loss to Iowa State Thursday night.
Last night Morris upped that point total from a year ago by one to 14, once again third-most on the team. This time it wasn't enough to scrape out a victory, though, as No. 13 Iowa State snuck out of Allen Fieldhouse with a 57-54 victory.
One of the more glaring differences between the two games, aside from the Jahawk's loss this year, was the lack of Morris' proverbial Batman. Senior guard Danielle McCray fulfilled that role last year as she scored 30 points in the victory over the Cowgirls, while Morris simply had to play the part of Robin.
With McCray out with a torn ACL for the rest of this year, Morris has to perform an entirely new role. Whereas she stayed in the background and gave help wherever it was needed last year, now Morris resides squarely in the center of the spotlight.
"Ever since she went down, it's like, 'Okay, it's just another game,' Morris said. "I've just got to play
even harder. I've got to be more disciplined, take care of the ball more, take better shots, and get people open shots."
Morris is doing things she never did last year when the Jayhawks won nine of their last 12 games en route to an appearance in the WNIT championship game. For example, she's playing point guard, a spot she hasn't played regularly for quite some time.
"She gets to play the point, so that's something a little new for her," freshman guard Monica Engelman said. "She has a little bit of experience over me and I think that's going to really benefit."
Morris has executed that role well enough to earn a spot on the floor as point guard in clutch situations, a part she performed down the stretch in the loss last night.
On top of learning how to play an entirely new spot on the floor and regularly guarding the opposing team's best player, Morris has managed to increase her scoring productivity in recent games.
If one were to omit her performance in a Feb. 21 loss at Texas Tech where Morris got into early foul trouble and spent a significant
amount of time on the bench, she has averaged two more points per game in her last six contests than her previous 20.
"She has played with some toughness and confidence; she's played like a senior has," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
While that's still a far cry from the 17 points Morris averaged during the team's WNIT last year, it has been enough to keep her team in games. Engelman and fellow freshman Carolyn Davis have led the Jayhawks in scoring over the last six games.
"Well I know that Carolyn has stepped up, I've stepped up, and I feel that Day (Sade) has really stepped up." Engelman said. "We may have three or four, but we need all five to get a win in."
In the team's remaining games, Morris will continue her shift from the part of Robin to a more central role as her team moves to unify around her.
"We're not quite there yet, we getting there." Morris said. "Once we all start clicking, we'll get on that run and we'll feel good about ourselves."
Next game
Edited by Cory Bunting
The Jayhawks will play the No. 17 Baylor Bears 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb.
28, in Waco, Texas. The game will play on ESPN2.
Key to the game
Winning the post battle
Simply put, Baylor has one of the most dominant post players in the nation in freshman forward Brittney Griner. She'll be matching up with the Jayhawks' own red-hot freshman forward Carolyn Davis, who scored 17 against Iowa State last night. She'll need a similar strong performance to compete against Griner.
Keep an eye on
Monica Engelman
Freshman guard Monica Engelman has averaged almost 17 points a game since Danielle McCray went down with a torn ACL. She has also transformed into the Jayhawks' go-to player. She had the ball in her hands in the final seconds of last night's loss. Despite her missed last-second three-pointer, her continued production will be a necessity for Kansas down the home stretch of the season.
Opponent to watch
Brittney Griner
Griner has put up staggering numbers so far this season as she has led No. 17 Baylor to a 20-7 record. In her most recent game, a 65-63 victory against Texas A&M, Griner recorded 22 points and 21 rebounds to go along with four blocks. She has also recorded multiple triple-doubles this season, the most recent of which occurred in a Feb. 10 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners.
Score prediction
Baylor 76, Kansas 63
WOMEN'S (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
Kansas shot just seven of 23 from the field, or 30 percent.
"We had been fouling a little bit and we wanted to save our legs," Fennelly said of the decision to use the zone. "They're not a team that shoots the three a ton, so we really wanted to pack it in."
The Cyclones received the majority of their production from senior guard Alison Lacey. She delivered crafty cross-court passes on her way to five assists, and mixed a pretty jump-shot with fearless drives to the hoop to record 22 points.
- Andrew Taylor
Yet despite Lacey's excellence and the suffocating 2-3 zone defense, Kansas hung around. Neither team led by more than five points the entire game.
With 3:16 left in the game, Kansas led 52-48. But a Carolyn Davis turnover soon sparked a 5-0 Iowa State run, which was colossal in a such a tight contest. The run was capped off with a floater by Iowa State senior Denae Stuckey in the thick of Kansas' defense. After missing her first six shots, Stuckey's final attempt rattled around the rim and found its way in. The Cyclones would never trail again.
"Denae picked a great time to hit maybe the biggest shot since she's been at Iowa State," Fennelly said.
The pressure now boils as Kansas will likely need to win at least two of its three remaining games to be considered for an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament.
"Kansas has a lot to play for," Fennelly said. "I still think they're a team that has a chance to play in the NCAA tournament."
Edited by Kate Larrabee
ROAD (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
All season long, arenas have sold out at almost every road location. Self said Kansas has played in front of a total of 300 empty seats all season. Both bothered the players.
in this year's approach while being the visitor.
"This team is kind of weird," Self said. "They'd be disappointed if it wasn't full. They got juiced from that."
Senior guard Sherron Collins said playing in a hostile atmosphere like Allen Fieldhouse and being ranked No.1 makes a player expect some noise. Plus, the satisfaction of
shutting crowds up requires a good showing of fans.
"It's more fun to win on the road," Collins said. "It's always fun to win here, but home court advantage makes it easy."
But the 2008 champs were never ranked No.1. They came into the season with a sour tournament loss to UCLA still on their mind. They faced late-season adversity, losing three out of five games at one point. They were hungry.
Self said there was inner turmoil in 2008 that needed to be settled and the losses magnified it. But as
of right now, no such problems exist and Self sees that this year's team is still motivated even after victories
"Would a loss be good for us down the road?" Self said. "I don't feel that right now."
The Jayhawks are at a stable point right now. All the controversies circulating before the season and in the early goings are settled and the team, including junior guard Tyrel Reed, wants this run to keep going.
"That was a great team." Reed said of the 2008 squad. "They went through a little lull and had a couple losses on the road, but I think
they learned from it and got better. Hopefully we can keep getting better and not have to lose to get better."
And Self was adamant about getting better. He said during the Oklahoma game, for example, there were moments when the team "got it" and there were times they needed
some serious work.
They play to the situation which is why they let bad teams come back into games, but it's also why they come out on top of the close ones. The latter is something the champs were also good at.
"Sometimes it's bad when you get a big lead early, and sometimes
it really good when you need to hunker down and make stops and execute late," Self said. "There is an element of toughness in this team that I think does exist that rivals the '08 team."

KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
Did you know the Jayhawks are the winningest team in NCAA Division I in the past two seasons with a 54-9 record?
Not to mention Kansas is 13-0 in the Big 12 so far and that is the best record since it went 16-0 in the 2002 season. The Cowboys handed coach Bill Self what he called one of his worst ever losses, beating the Jayhawks 80-60 in 2004. Also, during the 2008 championship run, the Cowboys handed the Jayhawks their only loss they failed to avenge, though they didn't get the opportunity.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Tyshawn Taylor
Let's ride him while he's hot. There are a lot of Jayhawks play
now, but the bench players are playing minimal minutes and the other starters are consistent for the most part. The only
SOMALIA
wildcard is Taylor. But if he has another solid game against one of the top players in the country, James Anderson, then we might consider him to be at his peak for this season — mentally and physically.
QUESTION MARK
Can the Jayhawks seal the conference outright?
It's a question that has to be asked. It's hard to imagine the Jayhawks not winning another game, but all possibilities must be considered. They have a rough schedule with this Oklahoma State team, get second-place Kansas State at home then travel to Missouri. You can look at the Jayhawks and with the regular-season Big 12 trophy already in possession ask, "What do they have to play for?"They have history to play for but the other factor is the most important; Pride.
HEARYE, HEARYE
"It's not emotional anymore. It's a business trip. We will not mix personal on this business trip. There will be some people that I would love to see, but it will be when we're coming out of the locker room after the game."
— Coach Bill Self,
who played at Oklahoma State during college,
on his emotions going back.

PRESIDENT
Sherron Collins, guard
Now the winningest player in Kansas history with a championship under his belt, what is left for Collins to do? He is still nine victories from becoming the all-time winningest player in college basketball, but at the rate this team is going, that is definitely attainable. He leads the Jayhawks with 15.1 points per game and scored 17 Feb. 22 against Oklahoma, his most since scoring 28 against Baylor on Jan. 20.
PETER HAYES
★★★★★
Tyshawn Taylor,guard
Henry
Taylor is enjoying his best stretch of the season, scoring 11 points without a turnover in his last game. In the two games since being put in the starting lineup, he is averaging 14 points, helping the Jayhawks not only offensively but also defensively. His speed allows him to matchup with the fastest player on any team and Oklahoma State is full of those kind of guards.

The freshman is in a groove, coming off a game where he started 8-for-8 from the field and finished with 23 points. He is averaging 18 points in his last five games, contributing to his third Big 12 Rookie of the Week nod. His inside-outside game is developing nicely because he no longer settles for jump shots.
MARK BARNES
★★★★
Marcus Morris, forward
Morris hasn't done much in the past few games, averaging nine points in his past three games. The points he does score look good, but he isn't getting as many opportunities because Henry and Taylor stepped up as of late. Everyone on the team isn't going to score 20 every night, but it doesn't mean they are in a slump. Morris is a prime example.
★★★★
Cole Aldrich, center
He has brains and brawn, coming off a week where he averaged 12 points, 11 rebounds and 3.5 blocks against Colorado and Oklahoma. He then won the Academic All-American title, making it a good week overall. Looking at Oklahoma State's roster, its leading rebounders are 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-8. It could be a feast if the Jayhawks get Aldrich the ball.
★★★★
SIXTH MAN
He still leads the Big 12 in assist to turnover ratio at 2.9, but he isn't as prominent during the games as he was in January and early February. In his last
four games, he has averaged one point per contest. He is a solid defender and he creates a lot of open opportunities for teammates, but scoring needs to be a bit higher when he is out there.

Page, generously listed at 5-foot-9, hasn't let his small size be a problem in running the show for the Cowboys. He's a dangerous marksman from outside who has a tendency to get hot in spurts.

Page
Muonelo was recruited hard by Bill Self and Kansas coming out of high school, but ultimately wound up picking the Cowboys. It's been a major pickup for Oklahoma State, which has gotten a solid four years out of Muonelo. He's the team's second leading scorer and has the ability to take a game over. He posted 31 points in a 69-64 win at Iowa State.
★★★★
DANNY REID
Anderson is the frontrunner for conference player of the year, and it's easy to see why. The talented junior can score in every way fathomable and leads the conference with 22.5 points per game. In four of his last nine games, Anderson has posted 30 points or more.

★★★★
Marshall Moses, forward
Moses seems to overachieve or underachieve every time he's on the floor. He pulls down almost nine rebounds a games, but nine times he's gone double figures or more, and eight times he's grabbed five or fewer rebounds. Same thing goes for scoring. He had 10 points against a talented Texas frontcourt last time out, but had a combined three in the three games before that.
★★★☆☆
Anderson
Matt Pilgrim, forward
Pilgrim isn't overwhelming on the offensive side of the ball, but he's a massive body and pulls down his fair share of rebounds. He's averaging 9.8 boards per contest over the last five games. Pilgrim, who sat out last year because he transferred from Hampton, has dominated
weaker frontcourts, but won't find the

going so easy against Kansas' big men.

Penn has missed. In those eight games, Gulley is averaging 2.5 points per game and pulling down three rebounds per. To win, Oklahoma State needs more bench production, starting with Gulley.

OSU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
Tyshawn Taylor
Oklahoma State doesn't have the wealth of talent at every position that the Jayhawks boast, but James Anderson is the type of guy that would get five out of six stars. He's maybe the best player in the conference, and he's without a doubt the best pure scorer in the league, maybe the country. Bill Self has always had trouble in Stillwater, dating back to his days coaching at Oral Roberts. At Oral Roberts, Self lost to the Cowboys by 40 points one year and jokingly vowed after the game that they wouldn't lose by 41 the next time. He was right. They only lost by 39.
PLAYER TO WATCH
James Anderson
chance to con-
One of the most entertaining things about the Big 12 is the
chance to consistently watch future NBA players. James Anderson is one of those types. He's a lethal scorer from anywhere on
the floor. While his counterpart, Xavier Henry, demonstrated a totally complete offensive repertoire for the first time on Monday, Anderson does it on a game-by-game basis. He'll provide matchup nightmares for the Jayhawks, and is the one player in the conference that can basically single-handedly win a game for his team. He's already done it against one Sunflower State team, posting 30 and controlling the game against the Wildcats.
QUESTION MARK
Can Bill Self conquer his demons in Stillwater?
Self has always had problems knocking off his alma mater Oklahoma State. Two years ago, the Jayhawks traveled to Stillwater in a similar situation to this year. An ultra-talented team looking at a probable No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament visiting a dangerous team looking to play its way into the tournament. This year's Cowboys have a better shot at the tourney than they did two years ago, but picking up a win Saturday would all but clinch a spot in the field of 65. That year, the Jayhawks couldn't quite come away with a victory, losing 61-60.
HEARYE. HEARYE
"I would say Oklahoma State's got a lot to play for, because I think they're in right now, but this would make for a definite. From a sleepless nights standpoint, they're not going to have those anymore. Everyone would be able to rest comfortably knowing they had knocked us off and solidified their bid."

... The Cowboys hit their threes. Oklahoma State averages around 23 three-point attempts per game, but the teams are near the bottom of the Big 12 in making 35 percent of them. The Jayhawks have taken around 100 fewer threes but made about the same amount as the Cowboys. Teams tend to get hot from beyond the arc against the Jayhawks, especially at home. Plus, the only team to beat Kansas this season, Tennessee, also wears orange. Just a thought.
THE JAYHAWKS WILL REMAIN UNDEFEATED IF...
GALLAGHER-IBA ARENA WILL ROCK IF...
Prediction:
Kansas 65, Oklahoma State 56
...they absorb the atmosphere. Coach Bill Self said this week he was surprised with his team's eagerness to play on the road. In all the league road games this season, Self said there were only 300 total vacant seats (when they played Nebraska) and the rest were sellouts. The players on this year's roster, Self said, embrace the road hostility more than the 2008 championship team did. Being the No.1 team may do that to you, but this should be one of the better atmospheres the Jayhawks will face this season.

MORNING BREW
Do your Big Dance homework
Tell your friends, girlfriends, teachers, parents, family members and pets sorry in advance. You won't have time for them in the next three weeks.
You can thank the NCAA. It compiled every single NCAA Tournament game beyond the Sweet 16 from the 2000s into one handy media player. No commercials.
BY CLARK GOBLE
cgoble@kansan.com
twitter.com/clark_goble
It's called the Vault, and you can access it at vault.ncaa.com. The Vault allows you to search by certain highlights, including the best dunks, blocks and finishes, or just watch any big game in the Dance from the last 10 years.
But before you head to vault.ncaa.com and watch your life get sucked away, let's look at some of the Vault's possibilities.
I scrolled through the Great Finishes and found an absolute dandy of an ending that I completely forgot: No. 2 Texas vs. No. 4 LSU in the 2006 Elite Eight. The Longhorns had the ball down three with under a minute left. Texas drove into the paint and now-Chicago Bull Tyrus Thomas swatted the shot.
Texas missed a three but grabbed the rebound. LSU knocked the ball free, made an incredible save but Texas retained possession. It looked like Texas would get an open look for three, but an LSU player raced from out of bounds to deflect the shot to another Texas player.
Daniel Gibson, now affectionately known as Boobie in the NBA, hit the game tying three for Texas. Observe.
THE MORNING BREW
the final Four? And North Carolina was playing five guys?
That's the value. You can do this with every single game past the Sweet 16 in the 2000s. I went back and watched the first half of Kansas-North Carolina in 2008 and felt the same degree of shock that I felt when it happened. 37-12 in
Obviously, my words don't do this sequence justice. Only the Vault does.
With the Vault, March Madness debates can be settled. You can roll through more than 50 of the best dunks in big-time games in the 2000s in a matter of minutes. The longest realistic shot I've seen by looking through the Great Shots was Memphis' Jeremy Hunt hitting one from the Alamodome parking lot.
With March Madness looming, there is no better way to prepare for the Dance than spending a couple hours browsing the Vault. With just a few hours, you can become more than a March Madness expert. You can be a connoisseur, as knowledgeable about your craft as any wine expert. The 2001 Duke-Maryland Final Four tilt is your 2001 Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. Instead of noting flavor nodes of a particular wine, you can note Carmelo Anthony's flashiness or Luther Head's ridiculous range.
Not literally of course, but this shot would have been deep by NBA standards.
I'm sure there are tons of other things you can do with the Vault, and if you've made it this far without going to the site, I applaud you. The time it took to compose this nearly doubled what I expected because I got captivated by the finish of
No. 3 Arizona vs. No. 1 Illinois in the 2005 Elite Eight.
Your dog may not understand your hours in front of the computer screen in the next few weeks, but trust me. Take the Vault plunge.
FRIDAY YOUTUBE SESH
The Vault is pretty YouTube-ish, but we'll go another route this Friday. I wish there was a feature on the Vault that allowed users to add Gus Johnson commentary to any memorable ending. If you don't know Gus, you will by the end of March. He's the high-energy play-by-play man known for his ludicrous calls to wild finishes, namely UCLA-Gonzaga: The Game When Morrison Cried
Somebody brilliant made a compilation of his best calls and put them over Fort Minor's "Remember the Name" beat.
After you get hooked, look out for games Gus Johnson calls. His energy will make the game a lot more intense.
Search "Gus Johnson Fort Minor Remix" turn up your speakers and enjoy.

Jayhawk offense looking to heat up in Arizona

Kansas (1-1) will escape the lingering cold of the Midwest when it heads to Peoria, Ariz., to take part in the Peoria Spring Training Classic.
While most students daydream about spring break plans, the Jayhawks eagerly await their own trip to a warm weather locale.
"It's going to be real nice," junior
outfielder Brian Heere said, "I'm sick of all this cold weather"
The Jayhawks will play four games over the weekend in Peoria, two apiece against Sacramento State (2-1) and Gonzaga (2-1). Both clubs have started the season with impressive offensive efforts
"Certainly we've got our hands full," coach Ritch Price said. "But
we're looking forward to it."
Facing opponents with such prolific offenses not only puts pressure on Kansas' pitching staff, it also demands that Kansas swing the bats at an equally high level. The Jayhawks scored 10 total runs in Monday's doubleheader against Eastern Michigan, but they totaled only eight hits.
"I think we need to be more aggressive," Heere said. "We took way too many fastballs for strikes and chased too many pitches out
Coach Price and Heere's teammates agreed that offensive improvement will be the determining factor in Kansas' success this weekend.
"Strike zone awareness and clutch hitting are going to be very important for us to come out of there with four wins," junior outfielder Jimmy Waters said.

A fellow Arizona native, Manship (from Cave Creek) should see plenty of action behind the plate for Kansas. Coach Ritch Price lauded Manship's defensive effort on Monday, as the sophomore blocked seven of eight balls in the dirt and also threw out a runner attempting a steal. But to keep his spot in the lineup, Manship needs to be a threat with the bat as well.

As the leadoff hitter, the burden falls upon Lytle to get on base and set the table for the guys in the middle of the order. The Phoenix native went hitless in Monday's doubleheader against Eastern Michigan but did manage to reach base three times — drawing one walk and getting hit by a pitch twice. Lytle made the most of his opportunities, stealing two bases and scoring two runs, but more production is needed out of the top spot from the speedy outfielder.

Six seconds to go, down by one and a three-point shot staring junior forward Nicollette Smith in the eye.
She passed it up.
"When I first flashed over, I thought I was going to be open," Davis said. "I didn't see anyone coming from my back side."
Smiths pass to freshman forward Carolyn Davis was intercepted by Iowa State freshman Chelsea Poppens and Kansas lost to No. 13 Iowa State 57-54. The Jayhawks tied their lowest-scoring total at Allen Fieldhouse this season and dropped to 5-8 in the Big 12.
Davis managed to finish with a team-high 17 points, but Kansas was bested 30 to 16 in the paint, spelling its defeat. The Jayhawks are now 0-7 against ranked opponents this season, but have a chance to reconcile that number in their final three games, all against ranked teams.
"It's getting frustrating," freshman guard Monica Engelman said. "But the most important thing is that we don't separate from one another. We still have three games left and an opportunity to come home with some Ws."
"It hurts," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Especially when you go back and give four or five things that we beat ourselves with."
Kansas has lost three games at Allen Fieldhouse against ranked opponents by three points or less. The recurring theme: critical mistakes at the worst possible times.
So the scoring responsibility was on the shooters and often times, they couldn't come through.
In the first half, Iowa State Coach Bill Fennelly operated his defense in a 2-3 zone. The strategy focused primarily on the painted area and prevented Davis from getting many touches.
Excluding Davis and senior guard Sade Morris, who shot six of 12 from the field and finished with 14 points.

twitter.com/c_mibodeaux During the championship run in 2008, the Jayhawks failed to win at Texas, at Kansas State and at Oklahoma State.
COMMENTARY
This 2010 team has a chance to do what the champs couldn't when it travels to Stillwater, Okla. to face the Cowboys on Saturday.
This season, the lajhayes are 8-1 on the road, the only blip being the 76-68 loss to Tennessee. The 2008 team only lost three road games, but coach Bill Self sees a difference
But there's more to campus sports than basketball. Intramural games run nearly every night. Tons of students play club sports, ranging from rock climbing to wakeboarding and everything in between.

Jayhawks defined by unselfish victories
Ashley J. Snyder
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
I was watching the 2008 Final Four game against North Carolina the other day, and the announcer, Jim Nantz, made an interesting point. There wasn't a single player on that team that received first team All-Big 12 honors. Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur — of all the great talents on that team — not one of them came away with that particular postseason accolade.
Obviously, none of them care when compared to the ultimate postseason accolade they did come away with.
Anyway, the reason this is important is because, if you look purely at the statistics, this year's Jayhawks may have the same thing happen.
There are four major candidates for All-Conference honors on this year's team: Sherron Collins at point guard, Xavier Henry at the wing, Marcus Morris at forward and Cole Aldrich at center.
But at point guard, no one is putting up better numbers than Baylor's Tweety Carter, who's posting 16.6 points along with 6.3 assists per game, with an assist-turnover rate of well over 2-to-1.
On the wing, Henry loses out to Oklahoma State's James Anderson, who has as good a shot as any to win player of the Year in the conference by averaging 22.5 points per game on the season. He could light up Henry this weekend.
At power forward. Morris has been an efficient producer on the offensive end, but doesn't have Damion James' ability to take over any given game. James averages 17.7 points and 10.7 rebounds to Morris' 12.7 and 6.3.
Aldrich's defensive presence is unrivaled by anyone in the conference — except Baylor's Ekpe Udoh, who averages 4.3 blocks per game to Aldrich's 3.8, while narrowly edging the Kansas big in points and rebounds.
Obviously, this is unlikely. Sherron Collins will be all-conference because he's Sherron Collins and he's had, while maybe not the best statistical year, a good-bordering-on-great year for a team that is 27-1. Same goes for Aldrich.
Despite that, the point remains the same. Kansas, as it was the year it won the national championship, is a top-tier college basketball team because coach Bill Self takes supremely talented players — Collins and Aldrich this year and Chalmers and Arthur in years past
and turns them into team-first, win-at-all-costs players who think more about victories than points per game.
"We all come in here as All-Americans, highly recruited and scoring 30 a game," Collins said. "For him to get you to just buy in, you've got to sacrifice, and that's what everybody's been doing is sacrificing."
Sacrificing things like all-conference honors. Like Naismith and Wooden and Cousy awards. There won't be a wealth of individual accolades for the No. 1 Jayhawks this year, but they've as good a chance as anyone, maybe better at the moment, to walk away from the 2009-2010 season with the only accolade anyone really cares about.
A national championship.
