FINANCIAL AID Early bird deadline for FAFSA arrives STUDENT SENATE BY JENNY TERRELL jterrell@kansan.com The University is encouraging students to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid by today to grab as much aid as possible. Students are encouraged to file by the March 1 priority date because funds are limited and filing early allows students to receive priority consideration for those funds. University spokesman Mike Krings said in an e-mail. The final deadline for all filers is June 30. Allyson Manny, a sophomore from Wichita, said she filed this weekend. She feels relief having filed for financial aid after numerous frustrations, such as getting her parents' tax information. "it's hard having to have all the information when you live over 100 miles away," said Manny.

ODD NEWS Drunken mother wields sword at grade school According to court records, an employee at Riverview Elementary School in Memphis reported a drunken woman armed with a sword was running through the halls of the school and had threatened to cut her. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police said the mother of an elementary school student drank a 40 ounce bottle of malt liquor before brandishing a sword in her child's school. The woman, 32, apparently intended to confront the parents of another child who had been in a spitting match with her child the previous day. Officers who arrived on the scene retrieved a black cane that concealed the blade. Police get drunk for sobriety test training The woman was charged with ag-gravated assault and having a weapon on school property. DAYTON, Ohio — Law enforcement officers in southwest Ohio were chugging down alcoholic drinks this week as part of a training exercise on how to give field sobriety tests. Several police officers and deputy sheriffs in Montgomery County volunteered to drink so colleagues could practice conducting the tests given to suspected drunk drivers. Dayton officer Will Wright says off- cials wanted officers to drink until they had slurred speech, glassy eyes and a lack of coordination. One test required intoxicated officers to walk heel-to-toe down a line and then hold up one leg to demonstrate balance. Wright says that he hopes the exercise at the Dayton Police Academy helped officers gain a better understanding of how to deal with impaired drivers. Cargo plane door opens mid-flight, drops mail KALISPELL, Mont. — A cargo plane door opened in flight over Montana and likely turned two bags into an air mail. Crews are searching the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex for the two priority mail bags that might have fallen out of the plane last weekend. Alpine Air reported that a cargo hatch on the twin-engine turboprop opened during the flight between Billings and Kalispell and the pilot was unable to close it. The plane carried about 3,000 pounds of mail. Postal workers aren't sure any mail is missing, but if any is, they say it's likely two bags, or about 25 packages. Weather hampered the search on Thursday for the bright orange mail bags.

Cantwell said they are modeling their idea from Northeastern University in Boston. Another Envision platform is to create more transparency with the senate by televising or podcasting senate meetings. Cantwell said they don't want to waste students' money or time, so when they choose their platforms they try to get to the root of the problem. "One of the things you notice when we release our platforms, a lot of the stuff isn't going to look very glitzy or glamorous," Cantwell said. "We're trying to figure out the most cost-effective solutions for students so we're not having to increase student fees." — Edited by Kristen Liszewski KUNITED evaluations online. Currently students' answers are limited to filling in a bubble sheet and they cannot write comments. Smith said it's important for students to be able to comment so that the evaluations accurately reflect the educational experience. Another platform issue is to place a Blockbuster Express Kiosk on campus, which offers students one dollar movie rentals in a convenient location. Smith said issues such as this, even if they aren't serious, are important to the coalition's goal of improving the KU experience. Smith said he thinks the student body sometimes sees senators as young politicians who just care about votes. "We want to bring back the image of Student Senate being a fun organization that's like any other organization." Smith said "We're an organization of people that share common interests that want to do good things on campus." — Edited by Kristen Liszewski CRIME Student found with gun in dorm At about 12:45 a.m. Thursday a student was charged with possession of a firearm on state property when he was found with a shotgun in McCollum Hall.

Edited by Kristen Liszewski INTERNATIONAL Plunderers hurt rescue efforts ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCEPCION, Chile — Heroism and banditry mingled on Chile's shattered streets Sunday as rescuers braved afterschocks digging for survivors and the government sent soldiers and ordered a nighttime curfew to quell looting. The death toll climbed to 708 in one of the biggest earthquakes in centuries. In the hard-hit city of Concepcion, firefighters pullings survivors from a toppled apartment block were forced to pause because authorities fired tear gas to stop looters, who were wheeling off everything from microwave ovens to canned milk at a damaged supermarket across the street. Efforts to determine the full scope of destruction were undermined by an endless string of terrifying aftershocks that continued to turn buildings into rubble. Officials said 500,000 houses were destroyed or badly damaged, and President Michele Bachelet said "a growing number" of people were listed as missing.

Wave of car crime hits Oliver Hall These incidents have caused $9,685 worth of damages and losses, according to the KU Public Safety Office. Nine of the incidents consisted of random criminal damage, such as scratching off paint or breaking off car side mirrors. So far this semester, at least three cars were broken into during three separate weekends. Three of the incidents included burglary and theft, suggesting that the damage was more intentional than other crimes. "On the weekends, I don't feel like it's secure." Meisenheimer, a freshman from Kingman, said. "I really don't think there's enough security or lighting in our parking lot." Emily Meisenheimer, a resident of Oliver Hall, said all of the vehicle damage has changed the way she thinks about her car. Employees of Oliver Hall declined to comment on the incidents. Elliot Metz FAFSA (CONTINUED FROM 1A) FAFSA HELP Financial Aid processes almost $200 million in aid each year to more than 60 percent of the student body. Manny said that she files hers online, but her parents still use the paper form. This created complications when she and her parents tried to match up the figures over the phone. "They had sent my parents a 2008-2009 form and of course we wanted the one for 2010-2011," Manny said. "I just don't think they are keeping up with it when people want to use paper." Becca Rosenkrans, a junior from Overland Park, filed her FAFSA on Friday. She said she had a better experience this time than last year because a lot of her information was already in the online system. Manny said those who know all their tax information, filing online does not take more than 10 or 15 minutes. Completing a FAFSA form does not automatically give a student aid, but it qualifies the student to receive aid and evaluates his or her eligibility. FAFSA forms are available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov and in paper form at the Office of Financial Aid in Strong Hall. Students can visit with a financial aid counselor at the KU Office of Student Financial Aid for help with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The office, located in 50 Strong Hall, is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. "It was really grueling and frustrating when I filled it out last year," Rosenkrans said. "The questions were really repetitive and sometimes unclear, which wasted a lot of time." Now that she has submitted her FAFSA, Rosenkrans said she is still anxious because she won't find out how much aid she will qualify for until June or July.

"We don't really have to deal with any kind of video problems or anything." Leigh Stearns, who is in her second semester teaching geology 351, said it's hard for her to engage students and for them to feel like part of the class. "For them to see the screen well, they often turn the lights off at Edwards," Stearns said. "They're always in the dark so I can never read if they are understanding this." Stearns said part of the problem may be with the type of class being taught. "When I went over to talk to the Edwards Campus coordinators about the best way to set up the classes, they were like, 'it works best for small, non-technical classes'," Stearns said. "Well, I'm a large science class." Stearns said she is adapting to the new technology and uses a teaching assistant at Edwards to help move past the difficulties. She also has students call during office hours if they need any help. Once video conferencing classes become more popular, it will continue to get better. Stearns said.

The comments by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, broadcast on state television Sunday, came 10 days after the International Atomic Energy Agency said it was concerned Iran may be working on nuclear weapons, echoing conclusions reached by the U.S. and several of its allies. "Some IAEA reports and actions show that this international agency lacks independence," the television quoted Khamenei as saying. "The IAEA should not be influenced by the U.S. and some (other) countries because unilateral acts erode trust in the agency and the United Nations. It is also very bad for the prestige and reputation of these international bodies." Associated Press New regulations protect against overdraft charges BANKING RULES BY EMILY MCCOY emccoy@kansan.com Jessica Janasz didn't think twice before swiping her Commerce Bank debit card to pay for a $10 haircut. The next day and one debit card purchase later, she checked her online account and realized she had been charged $55 in overdraft fees. "I thought it was absolutely ridiculous that I was charged so much," said Janasz, a junior from Overland Park. lanasz isn't alone in her frus janesz islations with overdraft fees.

OPINION | 9A each year for attempting to withdraw more money from an account than is available. However, new Federal Reserve regulations set to take effect this summer will soon cause banks to face stricter rules for charging overdraft fees. The Federal Reserve regulations will require banks to explain overdraft policies and get written consent from customers who enroll in overdraft protection programs. The alternative would be for customers to have bankcard withdrawals denied when the checking account has no money. BIG BUCKS Even with the changes, consumer advocates are demanding more protection. Director of financial services for the Consumer Federation of America Jean Ann Fox said the new Federal Reserve regulations don't go far enough. Fox said the regulations don't protect consumers from disproportionate charges, additional Banks in the United States stood to collect $38.5 billion in overdraft fees in 2009, according to data from Moebs Services, an economic research firm. fees assessed when charges aren't paid and charges from using paper checks. "Competition hasn't disciplined banks and the Federal Reserve hasn't taken the necessary steps, so Congress needs to take action," Fox said. The Consumer Federation of America is supporting the passage of House Bill 3904 and Senate Bill 1799, which would "amend the Truth in Lending Act to establish fair and transparent practices related to the marketing and provision of overdraft coverage programs at depository institutions, and for other purposes," the legislation states. Both bills have been held up in committees since the fall to keep track of what you spend," DeYoung said. "You shouldn't write checks or use debit cards without writing it down in a bank book." Daniel Rezaiekhaligh, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., said he learned to be more diligent about checking his account records after he was charged $80 in fees from Bank of America for a $1.80 purchase. Rezaekihalghal said it helps to keep track of finances, but banks also need to be more responsible for telling their customers about overdraft charges. U. S. Rep. Dennis Moore is a chairman on the Financial Services committee that is currently considering House Bill 3904. He said the Federal Reserve regulations were a step in the right direction, but more should be done to protect consumers. "Congress needs to ensure a $2 cup of coffee doesn't end up costing the consumer $40 in fees." "Once you have it happen, you'll see it's such a scam," Rezaiekhaligh said. "Congress needs to ensure a $2 cup of coffee doesn't end up costing the consumer $40 in fees," Moore said through e-mail. DENNIS MOORE U.S. Representative (D-Kan.)

A Bank of America representative did not respond to an interview request. With the new regulations set to begin this summer and more legislation pending Congress, banks will soon have to readjust their policies. In the meantime, Fox, from the Consumer Federation of America, has one suggestion: "Leave your debit card at home." Edited by Sarah Bluvas ARCHAEOLOGY Head of pharaoh statue found ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO — Archaeologists have unearthed a massive red granite head of one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs, the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities announced yesterday. The head of Amenhotep III, which alone is about the height of a person, was dug out of the ruins of the pharaoh's mortuary temple in Luxor. Dr. Hourig Sourouzian, the leader of the expedition that discovered the head, described it as the best preserved sculpture of Amenhootep III's face found to date. "Other statues have always had something broken: the tip of the nose, the face is eroded," said Sourouzian. "But here, from the tip of the crown to the chin, it is so beautifully carved and polished; nothing is broken." The head is part of a larger statue found several years ago, along with the parts of the body, the back slab, and the ceremonial beard which Souruzian says will soon be connected with the head. Amenhotep III, who was the grandfather of the famed pharaoh Tutankhamun, ruled from 1387 to 1348 B.C. at the height of Egypt's New Kingdom. Amenhotep III's massive mortuary temple was largely destroyed, possibly by floods, and little remains of its walls. The expedition, however, has unearthed a wealth of artifacts and statuary in the buried ruins, including two statues of Amenhotep made of black granite found in March.

The Senate has approved Bill 351, which would outlaw texting while driving and make the offense punishable with a $100 fine and all subsequent charges misdemeanors. While the House has passed a similar bill on texting, it will now discuss a Senate bill that would allow officers to pull a driver over primarily for not wearing a seat-belt. Currently, an officer must cite another violation before issuing a seat belt ticket. Sen. Dwayne Umbarger, R-Thayer and chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, calls the seat belt bill a lifesave, as it requires all occupants to buckle up instead of just front seat passengers. He also said the state may be eligible for federal dollars as an incentive if the bill is enacted before the end of the fiscal year. "That's just a little more frosting on the cake, but that's not the genesis or main motive of getting this passed," he said. "It's about safety, It's about human life." The Kansas Department of Transportation found in an extensive survey that about 62 percent of people buckled up on city streets in 2009 compared with 91 percent on rural interstates such as Interstate 70. Umbarger said it would be difficult for officers to be certain of seeing a passenger without a seat belt and thought it would pertain more to slower traffic where people are less people are less likely to buckle. "I think this is going to be more pertinent in the city limits, and even then it's going to be somewhat challenging," he said. "I guess if in doubt, the officer would pull that person c pull that person over." Another difficult feat for officers will be determining whether a person is texting, or simply dialing to make a phone call, which is legal. Kansas would join 21 other states with texting bans, some of which prohibit all cell phone use. City, who opposes the texting bill, said drivers aren't only distracted by cell phones. "I think it's kind of bullshit," Tom Attwater, a sophomore from Wichita, said "If you're going to ban texting you need to ban all cell phone use so there is no gray area for officers." If you're going to ban texting you need to ban all cell phone use so there is no gray area for officers. Steinere said the real problem is weak testing requirements Sen. Chris Steineger, D-Kansas "My real beef with the texting bill was that it only applied to texting while driving, not eating a burrito, or applying makeup or shaving, which I've seen people do," he said. TOM ATTWATER sophomore from Wichita for licenses, and that a thorough ban needs to be enacted upon all distractions while driving. He said that with proper driver education the roads would be safe enough to not place restrictions on drivers. "You don't need much more than a pulse and $25 to get a driver's license," he said. "The higher the education requirement, the better the driver and the lower number of accidents and fatalities." The House have yet to vote on their version of the texting ban, and the seat belt bill will now go to the House, which rejected a similar bill last year. - Edited by Drew Anderson STATE Proposed bill could double wholesale alcohol tax BY ROBERT ALTMAN saltman@kansan.com As the state deals with budget cuts, legislators are digging through law books to find ways to make up for the growing deficit. The House Taxation Committee heard testimony Friday for a bill that would double the gallonage tax on alcohol in an effort to aid mental health and disability programs affected by the cuts. “In times like this our job is to look everywhere to find out the best way to balance the budget,” said State Rep. Jeff King, R Independence, vice-chair of the taxation committee. “So I don't mind that we're looking at this and other taxes.” Proponents of the bill point to the fact that the gallonage tax hasn't increased since 1977, but alcohol wholesalers urge that the industry already contributes enough money to the state through other alcohol taxes. The bill would double the tax on alcohol by the gallon from 18 to 36 cents for beer, 30 to 60 cents for light wine and $2.50 to $5 for hard liquor. That's close to an extra 55 cents on a 30-pack of beer, or 75 cents a handle. Although the tax directly targets wholesalers, consumers can expect an increase in cost as store owners consequently implement price adjustments to accommodate the new tax. It is estimated the bill would generate approximately $22 million in revenue a year. Philip Bradley, CEO of the Kansas Licensed Beverage Association, said that while the gallonage tax is a flat rate, the other three taxes are taxed at a percentage and therefore have adjusted appropriately to inflation through the year. "The alcohol industry returns more revenue to the state of Kansas for every dollar that is spent in one of their places, than any other business," he said. "And therefore it seems unrea- Rep. Pat Colloton, R Leawood, said that community mental health centers have seen cuts from $30 million to $10 million in the last year and a half, and that because of staff cuts, over 4,000 of the state's developmentally disabled patients are on a waiting list for care. that would be derived from the gallonage tax is not going to be a drop in the bucket of what the deficit is going to be at the end of this year." sonable to ask it to pay any more in this crisis." "If you vote against this bill Bradley said he sympathized with the programs that are receiving less government support, but felt it was unfair to ask one industry to make up the lost funding. "In times like this our job is to look everywhere to find out the best way to balance the budget." "There's absolutely no way any reasonable person believes that the alcohol industry should bear the burden for the state's problem all alone," he said. "And the money JEFF KING State representative R-Independence you're saying it's more important that they save a few pennies on beer and wine than it is to take care of our most vulnerable citizens," she said. Coltonl said she didn't. think the minor increases would affect alcohol sales in any way, but proponents of the bill such as Bradley fear raised liquor prices would drive customers across state lines. King said the House Taxation Committee would debate and vote on the bill within the next few weeks. — Edited by Becky Howlett GRE™ LSAT™ GMAT™ TEST PREPARATION That’s Right on Target.

EDITORIAL BOARD Outdated blood donation policy needs to be revised The FDAAs policy prohibiting men who have had sex with other men to donate blood is unacceptable. Because of this policy, hundreds of student donors are not only ineligible but have no desire to give. Students need to show the Food and Drug Administration their disapproval of this policy. The statistics on HIV/AIDS are dynamic and have been arbitrarily applied to gay men based on outdated assumptions. The large numbers of seemingly healthy men who came down with symptoms of HIV/AIDS in 1981 led medical experts and the public to coin the sickness as the "gay cancer." A subsequent donor policy was implemented to ban men who have had sexual contact with other men since 1977, when experts believed widespread outbreaks of the virus began in the United States. But these presumptions from almost 30 years ago do not hold up with today's data. Advert, an international AIDS charity organization, provides statistics showing that all groups of ethnicities, sexes and sexualities are affected by the HIV/AIDS Although male to-male contact constitutes the highest risk for route of infection, heterosexual activity and drug injection use are also likely possibilities. These current statistics clearly show that no one group carries the burden of spreading HIV. There is absolutely no viability or sensitivity in the FDA policy It may have been a rational course of action after the first breakout of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980's, but more research has shown that its current existence is outdated and unnecessary. More disheartening is that this outdated and sexually prejudice attitude hurts the people in need Students should know that not donating blood is not the way to amend the problem. Students who are eligible to donate blood should still do so. The Red Cross, which coordinates blood drives, is not to blame for the policy implemented by the FDA. of blood more than anyone. On Feb. 25, a letter to the editor from Scott Caswell, the Central Plains Region CEO of the American Red Cross, explained that the Red Cross has pledged full support for lobbying for the repeal of this policy. Students should still support the Red Cross and donate blood. They need to aim disapproval at the FDA.

BUZZ ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A GRADER AROOJ KHALID MEDIA ISSUES JFK miniseries a threat to accuracy Today's History Channel programming includes "Ax Men," "Pawn Stars" and "Ice Road Truckers"—shows about the American Northwest logging industry, the items in a Las Vegas pawn shop and arctic trucking operations, respectively. For me, it used to be fine that the History Channel had a couple of programs that didn't actually engage history. The personalities of the truckers, loggers and pawn operators are entertaining, and when compared to the other trash on television, it's possible to find a lot worse. I can let it slide that the History Channel markets these shows about contemporary culture as its primary programs, instead of informative documentaries or groundbreaking research, until now. M. BARRISON Although entertaining, I don't actually learn any valuable history after watching an episode, save for snippets about the respective industries and information about the items people pawn. For starters, director Joel Surnow, creator of FOX's "24" The History Channel's tendency to back away from actual history is fine when the topic is overweight truckers. But in the first script of a potential television miniseries about the Kennedy family, historically accurate, informative scenes are missing. That Guy Some of the alleged inaccuracies are dramatic conversations between President Kennedy and his advisor Theodore Sorensen. Sorensen says these conversations never occurred. Other details, such as the implication that President Kennedy first proposed the Berlin Wall, are simply made up, according to Kennedy scholars. and outspoken conservative, defended his upcoming miniseries as a "dramatization," implying that the historical errors that several prominent historians have identified in the script can be ignored. BY TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE In one of many sexual references, the filming calls for a Secret Service agent to approach the president as he's having sex with another woman. Scholars claim that negative portrayals such as this demonstrate Surnow's right-wing political agenda in creating the film. These scholars speak out in a video by liberal filmmaker Robert Greenwald cautioning people to be skeptical of Surnow's representation. When people tune into the History Channel, they assume what they're watching is historically accurate. Now, these same people will watch "The Kennedys" and use it to refine their outlook on the Kennedy presidency and the other events of the 1960s—for the worse if Surnow keeps the historical errors in the series. The History Channel should not allow this miniseries to run unless Surnow drastically reforms his political attack job into an accurate representation of the Kennedy administration. Defending Kennedy's presidency is not my intention here; I'd be saying the same thing if a left-wing filmmaker invented aspects of a conservative president's life. Though Kennedy did have several extramarital affairs, they should not be the defining element of his presidency. If "The Kennedy's" is any indication, looking past the politics and realizing that history should be treated with the utmost accuracy (especially from a program airing on the History Channel) is a concept losing precedence to entertainment. Boultinghouse is a sophomore from Girard in history and journalism. FINANCE Debt-it cards Last month, the debit receipt for my lunch at the Underground was identical to all the others in the stack next to the cash register. Although my purchase appeared to be normal, I had unknowingly participated in a complicated small loan for my lunch that day. My checking account had been completely empty. Later, I found out that I had unintentionally agreed to a six-dollar loan with the equivalent of more than 7,000 percent interest for a sandwich. The bill informed me that my five dollar lunch actually cost more than 40 dollars with the included $35 overdraft fee. This experience taught me that even at the lowest level of everyday transactions, the dysfunctional nature of the market is apparent. Less than 20 years ago, if there was no money in a person's checking account, they might have left the Underground hungry but certainly not in debt. I had fallen victim to one of the many deceptive practices of major banks' card industry. With absolute control over the credit and debit business, banks have found hundreds of ways to trick consumers into outrageous fees and interest rates. As a result, millions of Americans are finding themselves helplessly sinking under debt that began with one missed payment or overdraft. Down and Out A debit card that draws money directly from a checking account seems like a simple concept. However, banks have set up an extremely profitable system designed for consumers to make mistakes. Although the Senate recently passed a bill to stop some deceptive credit card practices, debit card issues have remained untouched as legislators struggled with Republican opposition as well as the powerful bank lobby. Directly after a costumer uses a debit card, the purchase goes through a computer system that charges the most expensive purchases first. This drains the BY BRADEN KATZ checking account more quickly and allows banks to charge an overdraft fee for each individual small purchase. With this in mind, its logical for banks to create a system designed to lure people with small sums of money in their checking accounts because they are more apt to make mistakes. Meanwhile, consumers are rarely warned that their checking accounts are empty as they rack up hundreds of dollars in overdraft fees. Not surprisingly, the largest portion of credit and debit card profits comes from what the industry calls the "unbanked market." This refers to the 40 million poorest Americans who would have earlier been denied to access to credit and debit cards. These people serve as a vulnerable target-market that has created billions of dollars in profits for the banking industry. Today, a person opening an eviction notice can simultaneously receive an already approved debit card in the mail. Not only are insolvent individuals approved for both debit and credit cards, it is also completely free to sign the contracts. With 34 billion U.S. debit transactions in 2008, more and more consumers are turning to their debit cards after enduring billions in debt from credit cards' hidden fees and interest rates. Yet, regardless of consumers' efforts to conduct safer purchases, major banks continue to successfully scrounge among the growing group of financially vulnerable Americans for profit.

With more and more people becoming educated about the ways that animals suffer when raised and killed for food, there is an increasing demand for delicious meals that don't require death or mutilation. It's no surprise that people look for cruelty-free alternatives when they discover that chickens have their beaks cut off with hot blades, pigs are castrated and have their tails chopped off, and cows are burned with hot irons. Luckily, it has never been easier to eat meals that spare animals from suffering, with delicious and healthy alternatives like vegan pizza and veggie barbecue riblets now commonplace in the average grocery store. turn around, and eight to nine egg-laying hens are crammed into a single cage so small that they can't spread a single wing.

KU students involved in the project have 12 to 15 maps underway. The tools are not fancy: a rock hammer, shovel, four-wheel drive vehicle, spade and auger. During the summer months, Terri Woodburn and Bill Johnson pound, dig and scratch into the Kansas soil to gather data to develop geological maps. But now, the dust and warm summer sun are distant memories, replaced with the winter tools of technology. The work for the map makers begins as the data is entered into the computer for development of the digital map. The goal, as mandated by the state, is to map every Kansas county. The maps allow people to evaluate geologic hazards, plan transportation and utility routes, select sites for buildings and protect ground water and natural resources. Each map takes two to five years to complete in the field and in the lab. Last month, Woodburn and Johnson completed the Ford County geological map, the 37th digital map created by the Kansas Geological Survey since 1988. The maps, which serve as a starting point for many construction and engineering projects, can be created in large paper form or digital files that are sent on to engineers and planners. Along with finishing the twoyear Ford County project, the Kansas Geological Survey recently received $221,100 in grants from STATEMAP, a national geological corporative mapping program. The respective funds were the largest ever for Kansas. During the last several summers, Johnson and Woodburn, with the help of students, have surveyed areas of western Kansas to create county maps; Johnson has worked on 18 different maps during the past 30 years. "Fieldwork is definitely for me," said Johnson, a geologist and professor of geography. "It gets you out of the office. I really like being out on the High Plains. You see storms coming from way off. The sounds are all different — the smells, the grit in the air. It's just a different environment out there." More funding this year, totalling $22,472, allowed for additional drilling technology. Geologists can now more accurately categorize the ground, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of the mapping process, said Greg Ludvigson, associate scientist at KGS. Copies of the old maps dating as far back as 1925 stand coiled together in bins, which will soon be replaced by digital files. Currently 102 of the 105 Kansas counties have some form of a published geological map, but only one third of those are digital, said John Dunham, manager of cartographic services. Digital maps can be changed unlike the maps of old. In the past, once a line was drawn, it stayed, but now map makers can A NEW KIND OF MAPPING change lines as needed. Additional technology in the field has helped the geologists draw soil types more accurately. Instead of walking the terrain and marking observations, geologists increasingly work with aerial photos and digital imagery, giving them an overview of the area, Dunham said. After Johnson and Woodburn, hand draw the lines, the map goes to the lab for digitizing. "That is the part of the process that is the most time consuming and definitely the most hated," Dunham said. gists team up with three map makers in the KGS on West Campus. After field work and lab analysis been completed, the geolo- The map makers spend up to eight hours making thousands of data points on the computer for each of the 9-to-12 elevation sheets that make up a county. Counties in the Flint Hills are some of the most time consuming because of the higher elevations. These maps can take up to four hours a sheet. And with at least nine sheets, that is 36 hours of making dots for one county alone. Next comes filling the various layer types with specified colors, draping over terrain, placing the elevation and adding man-made elements like roads. Price said he enjoyed the more human aspect of the geological maps such as adding little highway shields that resemble actual road signs. "I've always had a bit of obsession with them because it is impossible to find a good set of them from Missouri," Price said. "Therefore, when John showed me how to do it, my mind was completely blown." GROUND-LEVEL MAPPING The geologists must deal with residents because they have to get permission to survey the land. In Johnson's 30 years of geologic mapping, only one person has ever mistreated him, he said. In addition to the technical side of map making, Dunham's crew enjoys interacting with the physical landscape. "We really do get to see the interaction between culture and geology, and these historic aspects make it even more interesting for me." Woodburn said. Tracks from the Santa Fe Trail in Ford County and ruins of homes from the 1930s Dust Bowl in Morton County are some of the historic cultural remains mappers still come across today. Because the process is so time consuming, Johnson said no completion date for mapping all the counties has been set. In 2009, the KGS completed two county maps, At that pace, the project could take another few decades, but the researchers would not speculate. A geologic map of Douglas County was completed in 1992 and later revised in 1999. Woodburn and Johnson have been working on maps of western Kansas that are designated by the State Advisory Board. Counties are chosen because of environmental priorities such as coal mines in eastern Kansas and water around urban areas like Hutchinson. Johnson and Woodburn said they looked forward to their next tasks, finishing Reno and starting Jefferson and Haskell counties. The students at the mapping lab currently have 12 to 15 maps underway. "If you look at the distribution map, we have just gotten started," he said. - Edited by Becky Howlett Vello Sub 75¢ Off Any Sub Not Valid W/ any other offers 1814 W. 23rd • 843-6000 Tuesday is DOUBLE Stamp Day Check out at interactive map of the counties at kansan.com KANSAN COUNTY $699 STUDENT SPECIAL Plus Tax Large One Topping 865-2323 LATE NIGHT DELIVERY!

Oklahoma State upset No. 1 ranked Kansas 85-77. Kansas gets a wake-up call Defense struggles as Kansas receives first conference loss BY COREY THIBODEAUX BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com www.twitter.com/c_thibodeaux STILLWATER, Okla.—With a 6-7 record against Oklahoma State, coach Bill Self is used to the feeling of defeat from his alma mater. But his demeanor after the Jayhawks 85-77 loss to the Cowboys was a sign that everything was fine for Kansas, at least in the long term. "I don't think the thing is broken," Self said. "But I do think we need to evaluate the things we take pride in to be a good team, especially at this time of year." "They were tougher than us tonight." That pride comes from offensive execution and making defensive stops. Neither of those were prevalent on Saturday. On offense, the Jayhawks shot 46.6 percent from the field and were out-rebounded by 10. senior guard Sherron Collins said. "Everything meant more to them than it did to us, which should have been the other way around." To make matters worse, coming into the game the Cowboys only shot 35 percent from three-point territory. They shot a blistering 52.6 percent from three, 60.4 percent overall. From the first TV timeout, the game was in Oklahoma State's hands. The Jayhawks found themselves down 45-29 at halftime, Collins shooting 2-for-8 in the period. As the lone senior and unquestioned leader of the team, Collins made it clear after the game not to blame the coaches or his team. Despite finishing with 22 points, he put the loss on himself. "I think Coach did a great job preparing us for it," Collins said. "I just didn't have my team ready at the time. I'll take it." Not all is bad for the Jayhawks. From a competition standpoint, the Jayhawks showed a lot of resolve, cutting a 19-point deficit to six with just over a minute left to go. The only problem? They could never crack the Cowboys. "I was happy that our guys competed and didn't quit," Self said, "But we didn't get over the hump the whole day." SEE MEN'S ON PAGE 5B See more photos of the game at kansan.com/photos COMMENTARY Cowboys' 3-pointers weaken Jayhawks BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com Sometimes basketball is pretty simple. Kansas is more talented Kansas is more talented and deeper than Oklahoma State. James Anderson is an NBA lottery talent but the rest of the Cowboys don't stand out. The Cowboys won Saturday because they shot the ball better, especially in the first half and especially from three-point range. It's that simple. We're at the point in the season when definite trends arise and Saturday was an example. When a team gets hot from behind the three-point line, it hangs with Kansas. In Kansas' first loss of the season against Tennessee, the Volunteers hit nine of 18 three-point attempts. The hayhawks hit two fewer on nine more attempts Baylor hit five of eight three-point attempts in the first half. It didn't stay as hot in the second half, but the first half triple kept it hanging around. And Saturday, the story didn't change. Oklahoma State hit six of 11 three-pointers in the first half to cruise to a 16-point halftime lead. The Cowboys finished shooting 52.4 percent from deep in the game. Outside of Kentucky and maybe Syracuse, Kansas won't play anyone the rest of the season that can match its talent and depth. But by no means does that mean the Jayhawks will go the rest of the season unsatched. There's a reason they call it March Madness. A team that is far less talented than Kansas, an eight or nine seed. SEE COLUMN ON PAGE 5B WOMEN'S BASKETBALL + Baylor battles, bowls over Kansas BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com But one player demolished the Jayhawks' hopes of a resume-defining victory that would push Kansas closer to the NCAA Tournament. While there were no tomahawk slams to be seen, Baylor freshman Brittney Griner controlled nearly facet of the game Sunday and the layhawks showed little resistance. Baylor routed Kansas 70-47 because of Griner's mammouth influence on both ends of the floor. Baylor coach Kim Mulkey was able to remove her starters, including Griner, with more than five minutes remaining as Kansas fell to 5-9 in the Big 12. Going in with a 5-8 conference record—and with its NCAA tournament status fully in question—Kansas approached Sunday's game at No.17 Baylor as close to a must-win as it gets. She dunked with ease, spread her arms into a 7'4" wingspan and rejected everything that came her way. "I thought we dropped out chins a little bit," coach Bonnie With the loss, the layhawks will now likely have to win the Big 12 tournament or triumph both at No. 3 Nebraska Wednesday and against No. 12 Texas A&M Saturday to be considered by the selection committee worthy of an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament. Sunday's blowout didn't help Kansas' cause. Henrickson said. "You've got to show some toughness no matter what the situation is." Kansas did respond, but just once. When Griner took a breather early in the first half, Kansas buckled down its defense and only allowed Baylor to shoot two of 13 from the field after a hot start. In just one minute, freshman guard Monica Engelman scored four points and dished an assist to freshman forward Carolyn Davis. With less than five minutes remaining in the first half, Kansas trailed just 27-23. During the opening seven minutes, the Bears sunk their first nine shot attempts and led the Jayhawks 21-11. "That's where they step on our throat," Henrickson said. "We've got to be able to respond." But as it has repeatedly done in the past, the Jayhawks' offense stalled and the Bears went on a 23-6 run. Engelman would not score again, as she and senior guard Sade Morris combined to shoot four of 25 from the field, or 16 percent. Griner was the main hindrance. "They had guards that like to drive in, so I knew I was going to have to protect the paint," Griner said on ESPN2 after the game. "We were attacking them, boxing out and limiting them to one shot," senior guard Sade Morris said. "We got out in transition a little bit and our game started to flow better." On the offensive side, Griner regularly commanded double, sometimes even triple teams every time she touched the ball. As flocks of Jayhawk defenders headed her way, Baylor's shooters were able to pick a spot behind the three-point line and shoot freely and uncontested. When she took her own shot, Griner soared above multiple opponents and used the glass and rim to tally 20 points.

It made me think: Why can a team in a successful market be so bad that even Jay-Z (who has ownership stake in the team) watches the New York Knicks across the river? After hours of lab research, I've come to realize that there is an issue in all four major sports - hockey, basketball, football and baseball - and the solution is simple. The talent level is sinking. Something needs to be done, a cleansing of the four leagues by yours truly. My standards for a successful franchise are fan base, willingness to win and market appeal. With many teams stacking up inadequately in those categories, I'll suggest cuts to trim each league to 24 total teams. Sorry if your team isn't spared by my standards for a sports franchise. NHL This sport is slowly recovering from the 2004-05 strike and the league would get a great boost for its marketability if condensing was in order. I'm willing to cut the following teams: the New York Islanders, Atlanta Thrasher, Carolina Hurricanes, Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lighting and Phoenix Coyotes. The Islanders play in Nassau Coliseum, which is a dump. No fans go there and they haven't been competitive since the 1980s despite a wealth of high draft picks. I've contracted the southern-based teams because they are in the worst markets for hockey. If you talk to the casual sports fan in the South, he or she could名 25 Nascar drivers before 25 hockey BY ANDREW HAMMOND ahammond@kansan.com twitter.com/ahammadiostat players. That's not good. I love the NBA but something still needs to be done. The worldwide expansion of the NBA is a goal of Commissioner David Stern, but a trimming of the herd would help as well. I plan to cut the Toronto Raptors, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings, Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Clippers and, of course, New Jersey. NBA The reason why these teams need to be cut is that they don't draw well, they have trouble keeping players and they could be serviceable to the flailing NBA Development League, the NBAs minor leagues. The D-League could use the talent boost while giving raw players time to develop their skills. That would make the NBA better, too. THE MORNING BREW This topic of condensing was close to frustion a couple of years ago as MLB was running low on money. Getting MLB to 24 teams is a lot easier here than any other sport. and Texas Rangers are consistently at the bottom of the townt pole. Although they have a few decent players on their rosters, the development of young players is a struggle for these teams. The Pittsburgh Pirates, Florida Marlins, Toronto Blue Jays, Washington Nationals MLB NFL Ladies and gentlemen, do not send me any hate mail, but you may not like the way I contract the bottom feeders of the NFL. Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans - I'm showing you the door on the AFC side. And I'm going to give Detroit Lions, St. Louis Rams and Carolina Panthers the boat on the NFC side. In big markets such as these, they are a major draw when only one thing happens: they win. These teams have all had their days in the sun (well, other than Detroit, who's looking for any type of light). They are dragging down the talent pool with bad management and they are consistently in the top 10 of the NFL draft year in and year out. Those are spots designated for bad teams. You may not like it, but these cuts will make the product you watch better. Edited by Kelly Gibson CAMPUS CORNER The idea is simple: Get more people in the paper.

MEN'S BASKETE KANSAS 1 ANDERSON 23 Weston White/KANSAN Freshman guard Xavier Henry attempts a three point shot but Oklahoma State guard James Anderson landed a pinkie on the ball for a block. Henry regained possession after the block and stepped up to hit a two-point bucket. Henry struggles holding Anderson BY TIM DWYER dwayer@kansan.com twitter/UDKBasketball Stillwater, Okla. — Xavier Henry had his first real defensive test Saturday against Oklahoma State. He's played against a number of very strong wing players in the Big 12, but none with the raw scoring ability of Oklahoma State's James Anderson. Henry failed that test, as Anderson led all scorers with 27 points. He also had eight rebounds to lead the Cowboys to an 85-77 upset over the No.1 lavyhaws. Henry, a freshman, played well offensively, with 17 points, but was exposed defensively as Anderson, the front-runner for Big 12 Player of the Year. "I was going to play, regard- less." Anderson said. "I could have been with a broken leg, I would dragged it all the way down the court." "He's a terrific ball handler and he makes guarded shots," Coach Bill self said of Anderson. "He made shots that we don't let our guys shoot, because he's that talented." Self said. "I don't know if he reminds me of anybody, but the only one that comes to mind right now would be a Paul Pierce type." Morningstar checked out of the game with four minutes to go, shifting Henry to guard Anderson once again. Anderson, who missed his last practice with tightness in his back, scored seven of the Cowboys' next nine points to put the game on ice. "I could have been with a broken leg, I would've dragged it all the way down the court." was able to consistently find the bottom of the bucket. Anderson finished the first half with 15 points but was hardly finished abusing the Jayhawks with a dazzling offensive repertoire. He scored just five points in the first 16 minutes of the second half with Brady Morningstar guarding him, but when the Jayhawks got within six points with just over a minute to go, Anderson took over. A broken leg might not have even stopped Anderson, who JAMES ANDERSON Oklahoma State junior guard Oklahoma State shot 60.4 percent from the field, a full eight percentage points better than any team has shot against the Jayhawks this season. Junior forward Matt Pilgrim (8-for-8 from the field). Sophomore guard Keith Page (4-for-4 from three) and senior guard Obi Muonelo "He shot the ball real well from behind the arc," Henry said. "He also had help to where we had to help off him and we just had to find a way to scramble back, because everybody on their team was shooting well." made 4-of-6 three-pointers (17 points) all scored more than 15 points to complement Anderson. It was both a defensive lase by Kansas and an incredible shooting afternoon by the Cowboys. "Whenever you get your butt kicked like we did today, you always look at the other team and say how good they are," Self said. "I will say this, and I mean this totally honestly. I don't see a lot of teams beating them if Page and Muonelo and Anderson are that good. I really don't."

James Anderson scored a game high 27 for Oklahoma State, making freshman guard Xavier Henry pay on screens and falling for pump fakes. MEN'S (CONTINUED FROM 1B) This is only the second loss Henry has experienced at Kansas and this season's success hasn't helped him get used to it. "It hurts a lot" Henry said. "But it also helps us to realize that we aren't unbeatable." Henry hit a three-pointer to They made enough in the final stretch to keep the Jayhawks at bay and upset the No.1 team. The fans rushed the court and all was happy in Stillwater except for those in blue. bring the lead to six with just under a minute to play, but the game was left up to the Cowboys' free throw shooting. Self said there is no need to panic, but they don't want to turn this one defeat into a second. Besides, a loss in Stillwater reminds him of doing it in 2008 and the championship Kansas went on to win. "The last time we came down here and left here sad, it turned out OK." Self said smiling. - Edited by Drew Anderson Aldrich Collins Collins did what it seems like he always does, buckling down when the Jayhawks needed him and finishing with 22 points, four assists and four rebounds. After starting the game 0-for-6 from the field, Collins hit seven of his next 10 shots. It wasn't enough for the Jayhawks, though, and Collins failed to pick up a victory in the only Big 12 arena he had yet to win in. Game to remember 60. 4% P. A.

He finished with 11 points and five rebounds, but was lacking on the defensive end, especially in comparison with his usual dominant self. Oklahoma State forwards Matt Pilgrim and Marshall Moses combined to go 12-for-12 from the field for 26 points and 13 rebounds. Oklahoma shot 62.7 percent in March of 1990.The highest percentage Kansas had given up this year was 52.1 percent in a home victory against Baylor.

LEASE HOUSE 100 VE AT NCE 8529 PLACE grove 1ST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY) 17:03 - After a dizzying display of ball movement and passing, Sherron Collins hit Cole Aldrich with a wide-open two-handed alley-oop. This was the last "good play" the Jayhawks had in terms of significance. (7-4) 9:15- Marcus Morris again, this time with a big three to put the Jayhawks within striking distance (18-23). About 25 seconds later, there was a stoppage of play and it was changed to a two. (17-23) 0:46- Sherron Collins hit a three after Marshall Moses had a one-handed dunk to put the already boisterous crowd into an even bigger frenzy. (29-45) 3:27- Sherron Collins finally made his first field goal of the game after starting 0-6. The Jayhawks will need a lot more because they were in worse shape here than they were a few minutes ago. (24-38) 15:34- Marcus Morris intercepted a pass off his own free throw miss and took it to the hoop with a one-handed dunk that sent shockwaves through Gallagher-lba Arena. Still, the Cowboys kept responding. (38-54) 4:37 It's one thing to have a three-pointer blocked back to your face. But to have the resolve Xavier Henry did to get it back and hoist up (and make) a two-point jumper makes you wonder why this game was as out of hand as it was. (60-72) 1:05- Xavier Henry wasted no time racing down the court and nailing a three. It was the closest the Jayhawks came all second half. (74-80) Key stats 16:48- Somehow, the most difficult shot of the game for the Jayhawks went in. Cole Aldrich flipped up a wild one while getting ransacked and went to the line afterward. (35-51) 0-2 Kansas is 0-2 when playing on CBS this season. CBS hosts the NCAA tournament. 10 7 19:02 This is a good way to start the half offensively: Sherron Collins hits a three. (32-47) Sherron Collins moved past Kirk Hinrich, Dave Robisch and Paul Pierce into seventh on Kansas' all-time scoring list. 85 42 2ND HALF Oklahoma State's 85 points were the most the jayhawks have given up this season. James Anderson has scored in double figures for 42 consecutive games 13 The loss ended a 13-game Kansas win streak. Oklahoma State had four players score 15 or more points. 4 — Tim Dwyer and Corey Thibodeaux COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1B) in the tournament for example, would be wise to learn from Oklahoma State and Tennessee, the Orange Overthrowers. Banging inside with Swat King Cole and Marcus Morris is not nearly as effective as hitting a few deep shots. Instead of needing three possessions to score six points, teams looking to topple Kansas would need just two. Jacking up wild shots isn't the right plan for upset-minded squads, but recognizing how Tennessee and Oklahoma State If you think Kansas is too talented to fall a team that relies on the three-pointer to score, take a look back at the 2005-2006 Jayhawks. Bradley made 11-of-21 three-pointers to topple fourth-seeded Kansas in the first round. took down No. 1 Kansas will help If you want an opposite perspective, just consider the Kansas-Davidson tilt in the Elite Eight of the 2008 tournament. Davidson shot just eight of 27 from three-point range, including an inefficient four of 16 from Stephen Davidson realized it was outmatched, and its game plan reflected that. Curry, but only lost at the buzzer to the lavahawks. Division I coaches know their teams' limitations. They know they must play differently when facing a superior team like Kansas. A smart game plan revolving around the three-point shot could be the Jayhawks' eventual downfall in March.

"She's disciplined enough to always go baseline against a double, which means the double is ineffective." Defensively, Griner flaunted her shot-swatting expertise. Of her 10 blocks, Grimer sent some balls flying into the stands. Others, she merely grazed off her fingertips. In both circumstances, Kansas' shot attempts never approached the rim. "You can try to be away from her and shoot the ball, but you've got to make sure you get iron," Morris said. "Because she's so long, she can get your shot." Even when she didn't actually get a piece of the ball, Griner altered shots with her overwhelming presence. Often times, her blocks and shot alterations resulted in quick fast breaks for her teammates. "We had really poor defensive transitions in the first half," Henrickson said. Kansas shot just 36 percent and lost the rebounding battle 36 to 27. The Jayhawks now have two days of practice to improve those crucial statistics before heading to Lincoln, Neb. to take on the undefeated — and No. 3 — Cornhuskers. "It's a grind." Henrickson said. "I said, 'for you young ones, this is the hardest thing you've ever been through. You've just got to hold on and keep your chin up'". — Edited by Allyson Shaw Jayhawks lack momentum in yet another conference walloping BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com Kansas' two leading scorers through the month of February — Monica Engelman and Carolyn Davis — couldn't gather enough momentum to guide their spiraling team to what would have been its first win over a top 25 team. Davis managed to put up solid numbers despite battling Baylor's stand out freshman Brittney Griner, but Engelman mustered only 4 points, the first time in her last seven games she has not eclipsed the 10 point mark, as Baylor defeated Kansas 70-47. Engelman made only one of her nine shots yesterday, which represents her worst shooting performance in a Jayhawks' uniform. "Maybe she got down on herself when she couldn't make a couple," senior guard Sade Morris said. "That happens when you're a freshman. It's the upperclassmen's job to get her out of it." A number of reasons could explain Engelman's struggles in addition to the one outlined by Morris. One of the prominent ones was the presence of Grimer. On more than one occasion Griner got a hand in Engelman's face, even blocking two of Engelman's shots. "I think she did a great job of trying to fight back," Morris said. "She kept shooting the ball." In Engelman's stead, Davis quietly scored 15 points, her ninth double-digit output in her last 10 games, to lead the Jayhawks. Without Davis' fellow freshman, Engelman, performing well at her side, though, Davis' numbers alone could not even come close to propelling the Jayhawks to victory. "Carolyn and Monica got a little tentative," Henrickson said. "Carolyn did an on-ball screen and sprinted to the rim. She started shaping up because she thought Monica keeps picking it up and she's not trying to throw it back to me." Since the season-ending injury to senior guard Danielle McCray on Feb. 5, the Jayhawks' success and competitiveness has largely depended on Engelman and Davis both playing well on the same night. In that time, when both Davis and Engelman scored in double figures, the Jayhawks have won two games while losing three. That stat may not seem all that convincing on its own, but consider that Kansas lost all of those games by an average of less than five points and all of those teams were ranked in the top 15 at the time. In comparison, when either Davis or Engelman do not "Once we get all three of us going good things happen." SADE MORRIS Senior guard reach double-digit point totals Kansas has lost two games while accumulating no victories. Making those defeats more devastating is the fact that the jayhawks lost by an average of 20 points. The other occasion on which one of the freshman duo failed to score 10-plus points occurred in a 68-51 loss at Texas Tech on Feb. 21. In that instance, Davis scored only four points on four attempts despite shooting 50 percent from the field. During that game Engelman poured in 18 points to lead the Jayhaws in the loss.

Davis finished with 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting, seven rebounds and two blocks. Davis assertively attacked the hoop, rather than attempting to create a shot that is both harder for Griner to block and her to convert. As guards senior Sade Morris and freshman Monica Engelman struggled shooting the ball, Davis was the only Jayhawk with more than six points. Davis GameBall Edited by Sarah Kelly 100 Freshman forward Carolyn Davis Reason to hope Davis produces against tough defense Davis produces against defense. Going into the game against Baylor, freshman forward Carolyn Davis had averaged 13.3 points per game since the start of Big 12 play. Teams have continually tried to find ways to slow her down and most fail to do so. Baylor is now part of that list. Despite going against a dominant defensive player in freshman Brittney Griner, who finished the game with 10 blocks, Davis still surpassed her Big 12 scoring average with 15 points. Reason to mope The home stretch Poor shooting Kansas has only two games remaining on its regular season schedule and both games are against ranked teams. With the loss to Baylor, Kansas is now 0-8 against ranked teams this season. With its hopes for an NCAA tournament berth hanging in the balance, Kansas needs to get at least one win or potentially string together a couple victories in the conference tournament to achieve its goal. Despite going into the game in the game with the fourth ranked shooting percentage in the Big 12 at 45 percent, Kansas shot only 36.2 percent from the field against Baylor. If Davis, who shot 63.6 percent from the field, is removed from the equation, then Kansas' shooting percentage drops to 29.7 percent. Kansas also shot well below its season average in its last road loss at Texas Tech.

Hull "We played. some good teams this weekend, but there were a few games that I think we could've pulled it out," Hull said. Kansas has the ability to win and needs to trust itself to play well, junior pitcher Allie Clark said. "We can do it with our eyes closed in practice," Clark said. "We just can't reproduce it in the games." Missed routine plays on defense and other fundamental mistakes led Kansas to its losses, coach Megan Smith said. Kansas has played its share of ranked opponents this season, and the team sees playing tougher teams as a chance to prove itself, "We beat the teams I think we should've beaten, but unfortunately we didn't put ourselves in a position to beat the other three teams," Smith said. Hull said. "When we play a high-ranked team it pumps us up even more because we really think that we have nothing to lose," Hull said. Kansas will have an easier go the next three tournaments, and will only face one more ranked team, No. 24 Massachusetts, before Big 12 Conference play starts on March 27. Kansas will return to action next weekend at the Coach B Classic when it competes against Southern Illinois-Carbondale, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Western Illinois and Illinois-Chicago in Carbondale, Ill. Edited by Allyson Shaw UTC FROST CLASSIC FRIDAY Kentucky 7. Kansas Kentucky 7, Kansas 2 Kansas and Kentucky went into the fourth scoreless, but that is when Kentucky started to take over. Kentucky hit a two-run homer in the fourth to start its scoring run. Kentucky didn't let up and scored one in the fifth, three in the sixth and a final run in the seventh. Despite homeruns from Allie Clark and Sara Ramirez, Kansas couldn't match Kentucky's offensive output and fell in the first game of the weekend. Tennessee-Chattanooga 6, Kansas 0 UTC started out strong scoring three in the first and three in the third, but only had one more hit for the rest of the game. But UTC didn't need to score again since Kansas couldn't score any runs in spite of five hits in the game. The lone stat highlight for the game was freshman standout Alex Jones getting two hits. Kansas continues its winless opening day streak and is now 0-6 on the first day of tournaments. SATURDAY Kansas 4. Tennessee Tech 3 Kansas pulled to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second, but Tennessee Tech quickly tied it up in the third. Kansas and Tennessee Tech went into the bottom of the seventh tied at 3-3. Kansas had the bases loaded with one out, and freshman shortstop Mariah Montgomery hit a grounder third. Tennessee Tech threw out Ramirez at home, but when it went for a double play, TTU's first baseman missed the catch and Clark strolled in for the winning run. Lipscomb 7, Kansas 3 Episcopal, Kansas Kansas had a monster first inning, racking up three runs on four hits, including a two- run homer by Sara Ramirez. But after the first, Kansas could not get its offense going and managed to have just one more hit in the last six innings. Lipscomb's offense responded with two runs in the first and two in the second to take a 4-3 lead. Lipscomb scored three more runs in the bottom of the sixth to help seal the victory. SUNDAY Kansas 9, Austin Peay 0 Ramirez's two-run homer in the bottom of the first was a telling sign how the game was going to go. Allie Clark's three-run homer in the top of the third put Kansas up by nine and all but sealed the game. Everything clicked as Ramirez had three runs and three RBIs, Clark had three RBIs, and freshman left fielder Maggie Hull had three hits, two runs and two RBIs as Kansas run-ruled Austin Peay in the fifth. Senior pitcher Sarah Vertelka also pitched five innings with only one hit. BIG 12 BASKETBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS Wildcats maul Tigers, look ahead MANHATTAN — The shots weren't falling, the bodies were. Their coach's face was nearly purple, and a few fans threw objects onto the floor. Faced with a start like this any other year, Kansas State would have blinked, folded under the pressure. Not this team. Backing down is never an option for this bunch. Overcoming an ugly first 15 minutes offensively, the sixthranked Wildcats leaned on their defense and kept their composure in a tough atmosphere to pull out a defense-dominated 63-53 victory over gritty Missouri on Saturday night. "It was a hard-tought game and our guys never lost their focus or their emotion because of the physical part of the game, because of mistakes, because of missed shots," coach Frank Martin said. "They stayed the course and when teams do that in a big game, you've got to be proud of them." The Wildeats (24-4, 11-3 Big 12) watched the first half of top-ranked Kansas' loss to Oklahoma State and knew they had an opportunity. Instead of grabbing it, they missed one shot after another against Missouri's pressure defense, putting together their worst shooting half in 14 years (18 percent). The Wildcats have their most wins since 1987-88 and can take another step Wednesday in Lawrence, where Allen Fieldhouse is sure to be rockin' for what could be the biggest game in the history of one of college basketball's most heated rivalries. But the Wildcats didn't slump their shoulders, didn't let Missouri run away with it. Relying on defense, Kansas State broke out of its funk — at least partly — and took control with a 15-2 run early in the second half. The plucky team held "Our team understands this could be our big push for the Big 12 championship," said Kansas State's Jacob Pullen, who had 11 points. "We get to go to KU and we have our destiny in our hands."

Prince had 20 points and Scotty Hopson added 15 as No. 19 Tennessee withstood a late rally to upset No. 2 Kentucky 74-65 Saturday, handing the Wildcats just their second loss of the season. It was the second major upset of a highly rated program this year for the Volunteers (21-7, 9-5 Southeastern Conference), who also knocked off top-ranked Kansas last month. gave the Vols some cushion. The Wildcats (27-2, 12-2) had trailed by 19 early in the second half but managed to tie the game at 65 with just over two minutes left before Prince and Hopson scored the final nine points to clinch the victory. Prince got the go-ahead basket on a reverse layup with 90 seconds remaining. He was fouled on the play too, missing that free throw but making four others down the stretch. A 3-pointer by Hopson — his only one in six attempts — also Kentucky, however, couldn't have been much colder from long range, connecting on just two of 22 attempts, contributing to season-worst 35 percent field goal shooting. The Wildcats got their usual solid games from freshman superstars John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, but it wasn't enough. Wall had 19 points, while Cousins added 15 points and 14 rebounds. Six of those points came on successive trips down the court as he made two free throws, then scored on two straight fastbreak dunks, both off passes from Wall. That tied the game at 65 before the Vols pulled away at the end. Tennessee missed its first six shots and was down 4-0 early, but the Vols got back-to-back 3-pointers from Prince and Bobby Maze, igniting an 18-0 run. Kentucky went more than five minutes without a point before Wall added two free throws to make it 18-6. Kentucky connected on just two of 14 early shots from the floor — both by Cousins, who opened the game by dunking an alley-oop pass from Darius Miller, then grabbed an offensive rebound and heaved the follow through the net. The Wildcats, whose only other loss came last month against South Carolina, have outperformed last year's NIT team in virtually every way except one. That team knocked off Tennessee in Knoxville, behind Jodie Meeks' UK-record 54 points. SUMMER IN MAINE Males and females Meet new friends! Travel!

That's just what Kansas (4-1) did in Peoria, Ariz. over the weekend. "We were better in each game of the weekend," coach Price said. "I was really impressed with the job our hitters did." The Jayhawks indeed showed steady progress at the plate, en route to winning their three games in the Peoria College Baseball Showdown one against Gonzaga and two more against Sacramento State. After scoring four runs on six hits in Friday's opener, Kansas racked up nine runs on nine hits and 10 runs on 18 hits in two games on Saturday. "It felt good," sophomore catcher Chris Manship said of the offensive "The pressure is off now. Everyone was more relaxed and focused on seeing the ball well." Manship The offensive improvement P P job to manufacture a run. didn't start with loud home run blasts, but with Kansas executing the little aspects of the game. It began right from the first inning on Friday against Sacramento State, with each player doing his After junior outfielder Casey Lytle led off the inning with a double, senior second baseman Robby Price moved him to third with a sacrifice bunt. Then junior outfielder Brian Heere did his part, bringing Lytle home with a sacrifice fly. "We started off pretty slow," senior pitcher BOWIE Selik Cameron Selik said. "Their pitcher did a good job keeping our hitters off balance, but we stuck in there." The Jayhawks hung tough, carrying over those small-ball elements to Saturday. Adding to the efficient at-bats were big hits with two outs, which helped Kansas score multiple runs in the fourth and sixth innings against Gonzaga. "Any time when you can string a couple hits together and manufacture a run, it gets guys up in the dugout, which gets everybody excited," Selik said. Selik added that the innings gave the team momentum because "hitting is contagious." "It just piles on, like a snowball effect, and that's what we were able to do the final two games," he said. Gone were the glaring inefficiencies from a week ago: the inability to advance runners and all the strikeouts with men in scoring position. Kansas took advantage of nine hits, five walks and three hit Each Jayhawk batter recorded at least one of the 18 hits in their 10-4 victory against Sacramento Sate. Four Kansas players tallied multiple hits in the contest. By Saturday night, everyone in the Kansas lineup got into the act. T Price batsmite to score nine runs against Gonzaga.

"It makes you understand why every team goes to Florida and Arizona for Spring Training," coach Price said. "It completely prepares you to play." league." "Everybody's comfortable and getting into the rhythm of things," Manship said. Because lingering winter weather has severely limited Kansas' outdoor practice time over the past month, Manship said much of the improvement on offense can be attributed to the extensive at-bats against live pitching.

Syracuse (27-2, 14-2 Big East) improved to 7-0 against ranked teams and clinched at least a tie for the Big East title. The Orange also own the tiebreaker because of the victory over the Wildcats (23-5, 12-4), who have lost three of their past four. On a day when the top two teams in the nation — Kansas and Kentucky — both lost, the Syracuse win could move the Orange to No. 1 for the first time since 1989-90.

With Syracuse stars from the past back for a reunion — Derrick Coleman, John Wallace, Billy Owens and Rafael Addison among them — and the fans waving orange towels donated by the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation, the Orange took charge in the second half. Syracuse increased its 10-point halftime lead to a bulging 72-56 as the 6-foot-9, 260-pound Onauku converted consecutive follows and the 6-9 Jackson slammed home a feed from Andy Rautins. If anybody didn't think it was Syracuse's night, they had to be convinced when Onuaku converted a bank shot off the glass after getting knocked to the floor and completed the three-point play for a 16-point lead with 8:54 left. Kris Joseph and Scoop Jardine each scored 16 points off the bench for Syracuse, Wes Johnson had 14 and Andy Rautins finished with 12 points and eight assists.

British Columbia — Sid the Kid has a new label: Olympic hero. Already considered Canada's greatest player since Wayne Gretzky, Sidney Crosby did something the Great One never did, scoring the winning goal in overtime to give Canada a 3-2 victory over the United States in perhaps the most important game in the history of this hockey-obsessed nation. By winning the final event of the Vancouver Olympics, Canada earned its 14th gold medal - the most by any country at any Winter Olympics. Wow. Even the disappointed Americans had to appreciate what a Hollywood-esque finish this was. "It doesn't feel real. It feels like a dream. It just feels like a dream," Crosby said. As much as it stung the Americans, all they had to do was remember the pre-tournament talk about them maybe getting bronze. Of course, expectations changed when they charged into the finals without ever trailing in a game. But in this one, they got behind early and never led. "Some day we'll be proud of what we accomplished, but we came here with the belief we could win a gold medal," captain Jamie Langenbrunner said. "It's going to be tough to swallow" Still, their silver was the 37th medal won by the United States at these games, also the most by any country at any Winter Olympics. The U.S. won the medals race for the first time since 1932. Crosby's goal set off a wild celebration throughout Canada. In downtown Vancouver, fans set off fireworks in the street, climbed atop bus-stop rooftops and danced on tables in bars. Even IOC president Jacques Roggegut pumped up, gesturing for the crowd inside the arena to cheer louder before he put the gold medal around Crosby's neck. Apolice spokeswoman referred to the madness as "good-natured." "It doesn't feel real. It feels like a dream. It just feels like a dream." The 24-year-old skater from Quebec said she was surprised one of the gold medalists wasn't chosen to carry the flag. Besides, crowds were likely to slow down for the closing ceremony later in the evening. "It's been a tough week for me, but I want ... to walk into that stadium with a smile on my face," she said. "I achieved my goals. I want to celebrate with my teammates tonight." In the next-to-last event, which finished just before the hockey game started and will be honored at SIDNEY CROSBY Canada center Figure skater Joannie Rochette was chosen to carry Canada's flag into the arena. She earned fans throughout the world by winning a bronze medal just days after her mother died of a heart attack while visiting the Olympics. the closing ceremony, Petter Northug of Norway won the 50-kilometer classical cross-country race. He also became the only man to win four medals at these games; two gold, a silver and a bronze. Canada red was everywhere — in the stands at all events and throughout the streets, with the locals savoring their role as gracious hosts. "We find ourselves in a brand new culture, and it is clear Canadians have taken a stand for sport," said Marcel Aubut, the president-elect of Canada's Olympic committee, which was celebrating the success of its $117 million "Own the Podium" program.

COOKING CLASS 8B SPORTS MONDAY, MARCH 1. 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM BASEBALL Jayhawks' bats heat up in Arizona weekend series BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com After the fayhawks collected only seven hits in two games against Eastern Michigan on Feb. 22, all coach Ritch Price wanted to see from his offense was day-by-day improvement. That's just what Kansas (4-1) did in Peoria, Ariz. over the weekend. "We were better in each game of the weekend," coach Price said. "I was really impressed with the job our hitters did." The lahawks indeed showed steady progress at the plate, en route to winning their three games in the Peoria College Baseball Showdown one against Gonzaga and two more against Sacramento State. After scoring four runs on six hits in Friday's opener, Kansas racked up nine runs on nine hits and 10 runs on 18 hits in two games on Saturday. "It felt good," sophomore catcher Chris Manshipe said of the offensive break through. "The pressure is off now. Everyone was more relaxed and focused on seeing the ball well." Manship The offensive improvement 50 didn't start with loud home run blasts, but with Kansas executing the little aspects of the game. It began right from the first inning on Friday against Sacramento State, with each player doing his job to manufacture a run. After junior outfielder Casey Lytle led off the inning with a double, senior second baseman Robby Price moved him to third with a sacrifice bump. Then junior outfielder Brian Heere did his part, bringing Lytle home with a sacrifice fly. "We started off pretty slow, senior pitcher BREWING Selik Cameron Selik said. "Their pitcher did a good job keeping our hitters off balance, but we stuck in there." The Jayhawks hung tough, carrying over those small-ball elements to Saturday. Adding to the efficient at-bats were big hits with two outs, which helped Kansas score multiple runs in the fourth and sixth innings against Gonzaga. "Any time when you can string a couple hits together and manufacture a run, it gets guys up in the dugout, which gets everybody excited," Selik said. Selik added that the innings gave the team momentum because "hitting is contagious." "It just piles on, like a snowball effect, and that's what we were able to do the final two games," he said. Gone were the glaring inefficiencies from a week ago; the inability to advance runners and all the strikeouts with men in scoring position. Kansas took advantage of nine hits, five walks and three hit batsmen to score nine runs against Gonzaga. By Saturday night, everyone in the Kansas lineup got into the act Each Jayhawk batter recorded at least one of the 18 hits in their 10-4 victory against Sacramento Sate. Four Kansas players tallied multiple hits in the contest. Price "Initially we struggled five through nine in the order," Price said. "But on Saturday we were solid production-wise one through nine in the lineup, and you have to have that to compete in our six frames, scattering seven hits, to stifle the Gonzaga batters and even his record at 1-1. Senior first baseman Brett Lisher paced Kansas on offense, going 3-4 with two doubles and three RBI in his first start of the season. Because lingering winter weather has severely limited Kansas' outdoor practice time over the past month. Manship said much of the improvement on offense can be attributed to the extensive at-bats against live pitching. Coach Price agreed, saying the warm weather in Arizona was the perfect setting for the Jayhawks to see extended action. "Everybody's comfortable and getting into the rhythm of things," Manship said. league." "It makes you understand why every team goes to Florida and Arizona for Spring Training," coach Price said. "It completely prepares you to play." GAME 1: KANSAS 4.

N.Y. — Rick Jackson scored 19 points and Arinze Onuaku had 17 as Syracuse's two big men dominated the second half, helping the No. 4 Orange rout No. 7 Villanova 95-77 on Saturday night before an NCAA on-campus record crowd of 34,616. Syracuse (27-2, 14-2 Big East) improved to 7-0 againstranked teams and clinched at least a tie for the Big East title. The Orange also own the tiebreaker because of the victory over the Wildcats (23-5, 12-4), who have lost three of their past four. On a day when the top two teams in the nation — Kansas and Kentucky — both lost, the Syracuse win could move the Orange to No. 1 for the first time since 1989-90. They were 11th in the final AP poll of the 2002-03 season when they won the national championship. With Syracuse stars from the past back for a reunion — Derrick Coleman, John Wallace, Billy Owens and Rafael Addison among them — and the fans waving orange towels donated by the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation, the Orange took charge in the second half. Syracuse increased its 10-point halftime lead to a bulging 72-56 as the 6-foot-9, 260-pound Onauku converted consecutive follows and the 6-9 Jackson slammed home a feed from Andy Rautins. If anybody didn't think it was Syracuse's night, they had to be convinced when Onuaku converted a bank shot off the glass after getting knocked to the floor and completed the three-point play for a 16-point lead with 8:54 left. Kris Joseph and Scoop Jardine each scored 16 points off the bench for Syracuse, Wes Johnson had 14 and Andy Rautins finished with 12 points and eight assists. Scottie Reynolds led Villanova with 16 points, Corey Fisher had 14, Antonio Pena 13 and freshman Marquette 9. Yarou a season-high 13.

Already considered Canadas greatest player since Wayne Gretzky, Sidney Crosby did something the Great One never did, scoring the winning goal in overtime to give Canada a 3-2 victory over the United States in perhaps the most important game in the history of this hockey-obsessed nation. By winning the final event of the Vancouver Olympics, Canada earned its 14th gold medal - the most by any country at any Winter Olympics. Wow. Even the disappointed Americans had to appreciate what a Hollywood-esque finish this was. "It doesn't feel real. It feels like a dream. It just feels like a dream," Crosby said. As much as it stung the Americans, all they had to do was remember the pre-tournament talk about them maybe getting bronze. Of course, expectations changed when they charged into the finals without ever trailing in a game. But in this one, they got behind early and never led. "Some day we'll be proud of what we accomplished, but we came here with the belief we could win a gold medal," captain Jamie Langenbrunner said. "It's going to be tough to swallow" Still, their silver was the 37th medal won by the United States at these games, also the most by any country at any Winter Olympics. The U.S. won the medals race for the first time since 1932. Crosby's goal set off a wild celebration throughout Canada. In downtown Vancouver, fans set off fireworks in the street, climbed atop bus-stop rooftops and danced on tables in bars. Even IOC president Jacques Rogge got pumped up, gesturing for the crowd inside the arena to cheer louder before he put the gold medal around Crosby's neck. "It doesn't feel real. It feels like a dream It just feels like a dream." Apolicespokeswoman referred to the madness as "good-natured." Besides, crowds were likely to slow down for the closing ceremony later in the evening. The 24-year-old skater from Quebec said she was surprised one of the gold medalists wasn't chosen to carry the flag. Figure skater Joannie Rochette was chosen to carry Canada's flag into the arena. She earned fans throughout the world by winning a bronze medal just days after her mother died of a heart attack while visiting the Olympics. SIDNEY CROSBY Canada center "it's been a tough week for me, but I want ... to walk into that stadium with a smile on my face," she said. "I achieved my goals. I want to celebrate with my teammates tonight." In the next-to-last event, which finished just before the hockey game started and will be honored at the closing ceremony, Petter Northug of Norway won the 50-kilometer classical cross-country race. He also became the only man to win four medals at these games; two gold, a silver and a bronze. Canada red was everywhere — in the stands at all events and throughout the streets, with the locals savoring their role as gracious hosts. "We find ourselves in a brand new culture, and it is clear Canadians have taken a stand for sport," said Marcel Aubut, the president-elect of Canada's Olympic committee, which was celebrating the success of its $117 million "Own the Podium" program.

LAWRENCE | 6A VOLUME 121 ISSUE 109 ARTS Photo exhibit is a twister of a tale Kenneth J. Collin Johnson/KANSAN Tristan Smith, visitor service director for the museum assembled the exhibit yesterday. He said the "Kansas Tornado" display is a historic aspect of storms in Kansas. BY NANCY WOLENS nwolens@kansan.com Spring is near, which means tornadoes could be just around the corner. The University's Natural History Museum opened its "Kansas Tornado" photography exhibit today to feed the public's fascination with tornadoes and to illustrate the wreckage and ruins Kansas storms have left behind. "Kansas Tornado" was produced by the Kansas State Historical Society and is a Kansas Interpretive Traveling Exhibit. The showcase of these menacing twisters, held in the Panorama Gallery on the fourth floor of the museum, will be open until April 25 and correlates with the museum's spring severe weather theme. Nancy Sherbert, curator of photographs and special collections acquisitions for the Kansas State Historical Society, said she put the exhibit together several years ago. "I searched through our photograph collection to determine what tornado photos we have on file," Sherbert said. "After I identified several storms, I conducted my research by reading newspaper accounts, people's recollections from diaries, letters and books." Tristan Smith, visitor services director for the museum, assembled the exhibit yesterday and said it has about 10 parallels with historic photos of various kinds of destruction of communities hit by tornadoes; the photos are showcased with descriptions and eyewitness accounts of the storms, he said. According to the Historical Society's website, its traveling exhibits have both freestanding and wall-hung panels that measure 3 feet by 4 feet and display about 44 images of twisters. Tornadoes showcased in the exhibit include the windy mammoths that blew through Emporia, Iola, Lawrence and Topeka. The website speculates that it is possible the Historical Society's collection of tornado photos contains one of the first pictures of a tornado caught on film on April 23, 1884, in Anderson County. One of the most disastrous tornadoes in the state's history tore through Topela on June 8, 1966, and left 20 miles worth of damage. Kendra Caspers, a senior from Topeka, has lived in Kansas her whole life and hasn't been in a tornado yet, but she said she's had some close calls. "I have had to go to my basement multiple times for tornado warnings and watches," Caspers said. "A funnel once formed above our house but it never became something to worry about." Caspers said she looks forward to checking out the tornado exhibit at the museum to see what kind of destruction Kansas has had in the past. According to the National Weather Service's 2010 Severe Weather Awareness packet, 2009 did not have a record amount of tornadoes, June recorded 46 tornadoes, the most reported in a single month for 2009. The first tornado of 2009 was on March 7 in Reno County, the Hutchinson area. In total, there were 103 twisters in 2009. In 2008, Kansas had a record of 187 tornadoes, which killed four people and injured nine. The first tornado in 2008 was on March 2. In May alone there were 127 twisters. From 1950 to 1990 Douglas County reported 37 tornadoes, compared to the statewide total of 3,961. Jared Leighton, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Topeka, said tornado season reaches its climax in late May and starts to lessen through the month of June. SCIENCE OF SEVERE WEATHER, UPCOMING MUSEUM EVENTS **WHEN:** Tuesday, March 9 at 7 p.m. **WHERE:** The University's Natural History Museum WHAT: Meteorologist Scott Blair, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Topeka, will discuss the formation of tornadoes and share pictures he has taken. He will also talk about his firsthand experiences documenting severe storms; he has witnessed more than 100 tornadoes in 14 states. "Typically it'll start to ramp up in early April and come to a peak somewhere in mid-to late May," Leighton said. "Through the beginning parts of June it kind of tapers off, and once we get to July tornadoes it won't overactive yet." WHEN: Wednesday, April 14 at 7 p.m. WHERE: The University's Natural History Museum Edited by Kristen Liszewski The "Kansas Tornado" exhibit is free to the public and is open during the museum's hours: 9 a.m to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. WHAT: Storm chaser and historian, Jay Ante, will share his point of view on severe weather in Kansas and will conduct an investigation of Kansas history, tornado myths and legends to offer a different way of thinking about tornadoes. Ante teaches history at Johnson County Community College. TORNADO SEASON BEGINS Specified by the National Weather Service, tornadoes transpire often during the spring and summer months and thrive in balmy, humid atmospheres. Often, if there is a tornado watch or warning in the area, there will be a dusky, green color to the sky with hail and a loud noise comparable to a train.

It was on this day that Fast, a graduate from Tabor College in Hillsboro, could finally relax. After applying three straight years to the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kan., she was accepted. Despite a critical shortage of physicians in the U.S. and a record-high number of applicants, medical Fast struggled through a process that 42,269 graduating seniors across the country faced last year bearer the country need no later -- applying to American medical schools. During the past decade, medical school applications have steadily increased. The University's medical school followed the trend, seeing 2,429 applicants this year compared to 2047 in 2008. schools are not necessarily accepting more students. In fact, while applicants to the medical school have nearly doubled since 2001, it has not increased the number of applicants it accepts during that time. Of the students who applied for admission into the medical school in 2009, only 14 percent were accepted. According to the Association of Medical Colleges website, the U.S. is expected to face a shortage of 124,000 to 159,000 physicians by 2025. "A lot of that is due to the fact that we've got a growing and aging population that in the next couple of years is really going to put big strains on the health care system," said Dr. Atul Grover, AAMC chief advocacy officer, in a press briefing in January on legislation that would help address the shortage. In 2006 the AAMC called for medical schools to increase enrollment by 30 percent by 2015 to address the national shortage. A 2008 survey shows that 98 of 125 accredited schools had increased their first-year enrollment from how many they enrolled in 2002. An additional 15 schools demonstrated plans to increase by 2013, showing more than 90 percent of schools either already increased or plans to increase enrollment. index During 2009, first-year enrollment in the nation's medical schools rose was nearly 18,400 students, a 2 percent increase from the year before, according to an AAMC October 2009 news release. While the medical school was not one of the 98 that increased enrollment, they do have plans to do so.

Woman loses home for unpaid dental SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah woman who lost the title to her house over an unpaid $68 dental bill has been given a reprieve. The Utah Court of Appeals ruled Capri Ramos is entitled to another opportunity to void the sale of her house at a county auction for $1,550. On Thursday, the Utah Court of Appeals sent the case to 3rd District Court for a hearing on whether Ramos had proper notice of the sheriff's sale and whether the sale price was "grossly inadequate." Beautiful beats She didn't contest the lawsuit, not realizing the consequences. Her house in the Salt Lake City suburb of Glendale was sold the next year to a group of investors. The collection agency North American Recovery sued Rams in 1995 over the dental bill.

That is about a 23 percent increase from the number of applications in 2002. Sandra McCurdy, associate dean of admissions and premedical programs, said the medical school applications have nearly doubled since 2001, from 1,283 to 2,429, an increase of almost 89 percent. Nonetheless, during the past decade the medical school has maintained an incoming class size of 175 for all but one year, 176 in 2007. McCurdy said the class size is determined by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which is the accrediting authority for medical education programs in the U.S. and Canada. The agency takes into factors such as facilities, funding, personnel and population. McCurdy said the medical school would like to increase class size but it takes time and is not a decision that can be made lightly or independently. School officials must first make a proposal and provide supporting evidence to the LCME for approval. "Before requesting approval for an increase, we must be certain we have adequate facilities, faculty and funding, as well as sufficient patients, to provide an optimal learning environment for our students." McCurdy said. The proposal the School of Medicine presented to the LCME calls for a distributive educational model where the school would expand its program to include four-year programs in Salina and Wichita. Right now, the clinical-skill and patient-based program in Wichita is designed to accommodate only third-and fourth-year med students. McCurdy said she was not exactly sure how everything would be financed, but said private funding sources were being explored. RAISING THE BAR Graduating seniors, who might have a perfect résumé and are eager to learn, find themselves entering a frustrating situation. Even with shortages in doctors and strong qualifications, students are not being accepted simply because of limited class size. "I think it's more competitive than it's ever been to get in because the applicants are just that much stronger," McCurdy said. "Every year we turn away lots of people that we could have just as easily put in the class." Straight As and decent Medical College Admission Test scores were not enough for Fast. After being turned down the first two times, she said it was frustrating, because she worked her whole life to get in to medical school only to be put back another year. "They said they had a lot of applicants they could have accepted, so they took the best of the best because everything was so full right then." Fast said. After being rejected the first time, Fast bolstered her resume by working at a clinic and conducting research in Wichita. She said her clinic experience really helped her know what she wanted to do and prepare her for what she was getting into. Now after her hard work and patience, she will enroll into the medical school in the fall, with much relief. - Edited by Jesse Rangel Time needed to increase medical school enrollment by 30 percent Doctor shortage timeline Growing evidence of future workforce shortages leads AAMC to call for a 30 percent increase in enrollment 2007- 2014 Expansion requires additional capital, construction and/or renovation of classroom space,and faculty Four years of medical school Three to seven years of residency training 2015 If the 30 percent increase is achieved, 5,000 additional students will enter U.S. medical schools in 2015 2019 Class of 2015 completes medical school and begins residency training 2022-2026 Class of 2015 begins to enter physician workforce; some M.D.s will pursue an additional 3 to 7 years of subspecialty training before they enter the workforce The Application Process Applying to American Medical Schools can be a grueling process.

He said this was the first time a coalition had endorsed another since he's been at the University. Students of Liberty announced today that it is endorsing Envision for the 2010 Student Senate elections. Wood said Students of Liberty is not running a candidate this year mainly because of a lack of funding. Wood said Envision is focusing on several issues that Students of Liberty focused on, such as no student fee increases and more transparency in senate. FEES AND CUTS He said he didn't want to run a campaign again until he could properly oversee it and until the coalition could put as much effort into it as possible. "This year, unlike other years, they're pretty much advocating a lot of the same things as us," Wood said. "In a more pragmatic sense, we can get a fair amount of our platform ideas accomplished."

WAIT. IS THAT A KRYSTEN BOOGAARD POSTER? OH, HOW THE TIDE HAS TURNED. COOL THING BlaiseMarcoux NATIONAL S.C. state legislators push to repeal McCarthy-era law ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, S.C. — In South Carolina, any group that plans to overthrow the federal government — or any other government in the U.S. must register its activities. It's the law. Now some state legislators are looking to repeal it. State Sen. Larry Martin said Monday the 1951 McCarthy-era statute that meant to deter communists is one more thing making South Carolina look bad, since bloggers and talk radio picked up on it last month. A misconception spread that the statute, on the books for nearly six decades, had only recently become law. Legislators said some constituents in this deeply red state were concerned it was aimed at conservative activists. His bill to repeal it comes up for debate this week in a Senate panel. "Nothing could be further from the truth," said Martin, R-Pickens. The law was enacted "at a time they thought it was the best response to the communist scare. It's long outlived its usefulness, if ever it had one." The "subversive activities registration act" requires any group that advocates overthrowing local, state or federal governments to pay $5 and register the group's name, its leader's address, beliefs, all members living in South Carolina and check yes or no to the following: "Do you or your organization directly or indirectly advocate, advise, teach or practice the duty or necessity of controlling, seizing or overthrowing the government?" Those that fail to file face up to a $25,000 fine and 10 years in prison. When enacted, it was seen as a way to prosecute someone who gets caught failing to file, instead of having to prove they were fomenting insurrection, Martin said. "I'm sure Osama bin Laden would be amused," he added. Now, about 10 have filed, U n t i l February, no one had registered, said Secretary of State Mark Hammond. South Carolina, based in "the corner of Fire and Brimstone," S.C. listing the state's congressmen as its members. One New York filer chastises the state for having such a silly form, noting his subversive act is voting, while a North Carolina writer asks facetediously — on a letter titled "What?!!!!" in big, bold letters — "Why are you only charging $5 for registration?" "Some folks did fear this could be used in an attempt to squelch their voice," said state Rep Eric "Some folks did fear this could be used in an attempt to squelch their voice." apparently in jest, as political commentary. Two actually paid the fee according to his office.

BedingieId, R-Mauldin, a co-sponsor of a matching house bill to repeal the law. "To clear up the confu- sion, lets just remove it." State Rep. T o m m y Stringer, the main sponsor, said people pankicked unnecessarily about the law restricting civil liberties, particularly since the wording examples labor unions and patriotic groups that don't aim to overthrow the government. It also specifies that it does not infringe on free speech rights. People protesting peacefully aren't subservive, he said. TELEVISION Guards make citizen's arrest Resort security seizes paparazzi trying to snag 'Bachelor' pics, video RANCHO PALOS VERDES. Calif._ Security guards at a luxury hotel in Rancho Palos Verdes made a citizen's arrest of two parapazzi who were trying to snap pictures during a weekend taping of ABC's "The Bachelor," authorities said Monday. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE The photographers were booked by L.A. County sheriff's deputies on suspicion of misdemeanor battery and unlawful blocking of a sidewalk, said department The men were identified as Maximiliano Lopez, 28, of Torrance, and Eric Brogmus, 22, of Burbank. They were cited and released Saturday but must appear in court March 28, Whitmore said. The incident took place about 2:45 p.m. Saturday at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes. The photographers were part of a large contingent of paparazzi attempting to get pictures and video of "Bachelor" participants as they were arriving for the wedding of "Bachelor" couple Jason Mesnick spokesman Steve Whitmore. Video posted to the X10onIne Web site shows a security guard choking one of the photographers and taking him to the ground on a path leading to the ocean as other paparazzi shout at the men to stop. Whitmore said security guards insisted the photographers be booked on a citizen's arrest. He added that deputies interviewed witnesses who confirmed the security guard's version of events but said the investigation into the fracas would continue. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

The woman, 22, was pulled over about 3 a.m. Saturday after police saw her driving with no lights on and in an erratic fashion. After registering, 144 on a blood-alcohol content test, she allegedly spat on a police officer and was taken to Fletcher Allen Health Care after complaining of back pain. Police said she was disorderly with ER personnel there and tried to flee. The woman was charged with DUI, assault on a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct. Goat seized during romp around town ODESSA, Texas — All over town ran a lone goat as Odessa police and animal control officers tried to catch the roaming animal. The report to police came in Saturday as a sheep on the loose. Officers then determined it was a goat loping through a Taco Bell parking lot, a park and the dorm area at the University of Texas- Permian Basin. It took four police officers, two animal control officers and one off-duty police officer on motorcycle to corral the goat after about 30 minutes. Animal control officers subdued the goat with a tranquilizer gun and took custody of it. There was no immediate word on who owned the goat. Man allegedly made hundreds of 911 calls AVON PARK, Fla. — Maybe he was bored. Maybe he just likes prank phone calls. But for some reason, a Florida man allegedly called 911 more than 200 times in a recent 3-day span. Highlands County sheriff's deputies said Timothy Todd Lawrence spoke only to female dispatchers, and made sexually explicit remarks to one of them. He told dispatchers he did not need emergency assistance. Lawrence allegedly made 151 calls on Feb. 13 between 2 a.m. and 10:52 a.m.alone. He continued the calls over the next few days. The 31-year-old Avon Park man was arrested Thursday. It was unclear if he had legal representation.

EDITORIAL BOARD Students pay for bank policies The Federal Reserve and Congress have been making changes to protect consumers from financially harmful bank practices. But there is still more that needs to be done to protect students when they swipe credit or debit cards. Once upon a time, making a purchase required a question: paper or plastic? Today the question has evolved to: debit or credit? The debit option often leaves people with a hefty overdraft fee that is rarely a fair match for the amount of the transaction But, if you are a chronic overdrafter, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Starting July 1, rules enabled by the Federal Reserve will limit financial institutions from charging consumers overdraft fees on ATMs or one-time debit card transactions, unless consumers give consent to be enrolled in an overdraft protection service. This is especially beneficial to college students, who tend to be inexperienced with personal finance and rack up the most fees. In a report made by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., nearly 15 percent of banking accounts held by young adults recorded more than 10 insuficient fund transactions in 2008 It is important to be knowledgeable of what you spend and how much money you have, but a large overdraft fee is simply a scam. Commerce Bank said it has a policy of charging up to $35 for each transaction made with insufficient funds. This is information that Though the new regulations are a step in the right direction, there is still more that should be done to prevent students from incurring such high overdraft fees. An improved course would be requiring that overdraft fees are more closely associated with the price of the actual transaction or give a warning if a consumer does overdraft while making a transaction. According to Jean Ann Fox, director of financial services for the Consumer Federation of America, many banks do not disclose fee schedules or account policies online unless a full application is made first. This requires the disclosure of social security numbers, addresses, employment histories and other private information. Thanks to Congress, as of Feb. 22, credit card companies are one step ahead of banks and their goal to protect young consumers. Congress passed a law saying that no one under the age of 21 is allowed to obtain a credit card without a co-signer. The only exception will be for students who can prove they have a substantial income. This act by Congress could potentially save students from slipping into a deep financial trap, where a lump of debt can be acquired. By the time students are allowed to obtain a credit card without a parent or legal guardian, they should be capable of making smart and responsible financial decisions. The Federal Reserve needs to keep pushing to expand the new rules, making banks be more open about their policies, so consumers can keep their money in their pockets. In addition to the new restrictions, Obama signed off on the removal of alluring credit card offers within 1,000 feet of college campuses and the persistent credit card offers through the mail. Now that Congress reined in credit card companies and the Federal Reserve is making headway with the overdraft concerns, students should do what they can so that this growing momentum will not cease and the system will continue to be challenged to better benefit young consumers. Students should contact Rep. Dennis Moore, a chairman on the Financial Services committee, and let him know they want more protection. Stefanie Penn EDITORIAL CARTOON To contact U.S. Rep.

" NICHOLAS SAMBALUK " HOPE THIS WON'T BECOME POLITICAL THEATER. Megan McGill ... BUT IF IT DOES, I'M READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP, MR. DE MILLE." POLITICS Marriage bill is step backward The debates going on during the last decade about the role that marriage has played in modern society have focused mainly on whether marriages should be limited to a man and a woman. Through all of it, opponents of gay marriage have insisted that marriage is the cornerstone of our society. Apparently they disregard agriculture or safety from predators or any of the other reasons that communities actually exist. The Kansas House of Representatives recently passed a bill which, if it makes it past the Senate and Gov. Mark Parkinson's desk, would mandate "covenant marriage" in Kansas. Covenant marriage essentially makes it law that marriages will only be licensed if couples undergo counseling first and that divorces will only be granted under special circumstances. Those circumstances are reported in The Topeka Capital Journal as including one spouse cheating on the Through all of that, I shook my head and considered how cheaply people treat marriage, with drive-through chapels in Las Vegas, high divorce rates and high school seniors getting engaged to the only people they've ever dated. But maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. Mike Liberal Loudmouth Although these are certainly good reasons to end a marriage, it seems odd to limit grounds for divorce to those and a few other things. There is really no easy way to legally define the circumstances for many divorces. I agree wholeheartedly that people rush into divorce out of excitement at times. I've seen plenty of my friends rush into marriages with people they have not been involved with for more than a few months, and then go through very ugly divorces after even shorter periods. BY BEN COHEN other, or being convicted of a major crime. That said, people make rash decisions all the time. I'm all about making it harder for people to self-destruct, but legislating morality, which basically all laws regarding marriage are, is pointless, and based on current social whims. Putting strict guidelines on divorce cannot quantify emotional distance, no matter what, and cannot affect unreported spousal abuse, either. For the longest time, we've been told that the protection of this "institution" lies in making sure that it can only be carried out between a man and a woman, using the somewhat flawed logic that it takes that combination to produce children. The protection of marriage is, in itself, commendable. Two people attempting to commit their lives to each other is a nice concept, if not always executed all that well. Yet the people who have taken it upon themselves to do this have never really known exactly what to do. The concept of a "covenant marriage", as Kansas may have in the near future, is another attempt at regulating a concept whose very role in society has changed constantly through the centuries. Yes, some people cheapen it by rushing into marriages that they have to know won't last, but this is one of those cases where it needs to be their lesson to learn. 'There are very few issues where I don't take the stand that regulation is needed, but then there are few that affect people on such a strictly personal basis.

RELIGION Lent is more than excuse to sacrifice College students are famous for either changing or altogether abandoning the religion and beliefs their parents held. But, suddenly, the season of Lent seems to bring religion back into focus. Unfortunately, this isn't always with the best of intentions. It is true that everyone has his or her own reason for participating in Lenten sacrifice. Some people give something up to try and show appreciation for the sacrifice of Jesus. Some do it to relate to Jesus. Others just do it out of habit. From what I have witnessed this year, mainly through the medium of Facebook and conversations overheard on campus, many people use Lenten sacrifice to bring sacrilege to a whole new and profoundly shallow level. However, deciding to participate in Lenten sacrifices by giving up certain food as a way of dropping 10 pounds to look good in a bikini or giving up Farmville or Mafia Wars to make more time for working on your tan is not only insulting to Christianity, but to others who actually take Lent seriously. There is a difference between true Lenten sacrifice and an excuse driven by other motives. If you want to lose weight, wonderful. But be honest about it. Tell Jesus that this year, you just aren't able or willing to participate. Go on your diet, but leave it at that: just a diet. Lent has to do a lot with intent. For a parallel, just consider our legal system: A plot to murder is different than a murder committed in the heat of passion. It is also different than an accidental murder. Although our actions matter, our intentions almost matter more. Simply using Lent as an excuse to give something up is not the point. God Beyond God PUBLIC SERVICE UNION OF CANADA BY SHAUNA BLACKMON shlackmon@kansan.com After practicing scales and developing the necessary muscle memory, even the off-notes start to sound more in tune. The musician can tell there is a difference, but not as much as the listener can tell. Once the musician starts figuring out the frets and the tempo, they start to become more aware of the screeches and flat notes. One of the smartest and most spiritually Christian people I know compared Lent to playing guitar. I know it sounds like a stretch but stay with me. When someone starts out playing guitar, they don't hear the horrible mess that the rest of us hear. It is a matter of perspective. To them, the sound isn't that bad. When we listen to Van Halen or Hendrix they become our ultimate guitar reality. By comparison, our rendition of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" doesn't seem as impressive. That is why we practice. Similarly, by participating in Lent, we become sensitized to God and the religion we take part in. We hear the imperfections of our world and compare them to the perfection of God. We may think that we are good people, but once we take the time to really look at God, we fall short. We know that we will never be Hendrix, but by practicing we can at least become better. Blackmon is a junior from Olathe in journalism. Recently I was reading an edition of The Karsan and was shocked by what I read. All of the crime statistics grazing the front page made it seem as if the sky is falling here in our beautiful city. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Question statistics on crimes What I didn't see reported was any sort of adjustment for population. There are about 90,000 people living in Lawrence, which makes the chances of crime occurrences ridiculously small. Let me just calculate the main statistic of the article: The 51 percent increase of rape in the last year. The number of actual cases was 71, take that number divided by 90,000 for population and you get 0.78 percent chance. Most calculators won't even calculate it without giving an answer to the fourth or fifth power. That is the calculator's way of telling us to forget about it. Even just focusing on the female population, the chances of rape remain slim. This may contradict what fear mongers would like us to think, but most of the people walking around Lawrence aren't rapists. We don't need to run for the hills because of a fluctuation of individual cases, which could be caused by any number of things including our city's increasing population. There were more cases of arson in Lawrence than forcible sodomy, but that doesn't mean you need to flinch every time a match is struck. We didn't get meaker or more prone to rape or murder in a single year. Please employ common sense before fear, and don't let horror stories drive you into a letlterious and distrusting life style You're in college, so live it to its fullest and don't let statistics get in your way. Stay out after hours, meet someone new and always make sure to question authority. Brian Henry is a senior from Ozawkie.

From Jan. 17 to March 27, the University is competing against 381 schools across the nation in RecycleMania. Right now the University ranks 93rd in the competition and seventh in the Big 12. The competition started in 2001 by the College and University Recycling Council, a network of recycling and waste management professionals that aim to increase recycling and awareness for students and staff across the county. "I think a little friendly competition is a good thing," Marshall Wetta, a sophomore from Silver Lake, said. Wetta said he recy cles on campus and in the residence halls. "It's always motivating and interesting to see where you are in regards to other Universities." "I wouldn't have guessed we recycle that much, but I do know how much we waste," Adam Herberg, a senior from Fenton, Mo., said. Every sheet of paper, piece of cardboard, bottle or can that makes it to a recycling bin on campus or in the residence halls is counted. By Feb. 20, the University had already recycled 72,631 pounds of recyclables. While that number keeps the University close to passing the University of Nebraska Lincoln for sixth, it doesn't come close to reaching the first place school in the Big 12 - the University of Missouri-Colombia, with 241,327 pounds. Compared to the first time the CELESTE HOINS program manager University competed in RecycleMania in 2009, the number of pounds recycled pounds have dropped. Celeste Hoins, Environmental Stewardship Program manager, said this might mean people are wasting less in the first place by printing double sided or using digital copies. KU Recycling tries to make sure what is used gets recycled. The dozens of bins around campus allow students to finish off the last few drops of their soda and recycle without much effort. These bins are located outdoors, in residence halls, in the Kansas and Burge unions and in campus buildings such as Wescoe. "If I can't find one somewhere in reach, I can find one in a few strides," Wetta said. "We appreciate when it is sorted well by the users before hand." Heins said. All the recyclables are then picked up by KU Recycling and driven to the warehouse on West Campus. Once the truck dumps the empty bottles and stacks of cardboard, KU Recycling starts sorting by hand. Once the cans are out of the plastics and the paper has found its stack, the materials are bailed and weighed. Then, the recycling staff read and record the floor scale for the weight of the materials. That weight is sent in for the competition. The University competes for another five weeks, but Hoins said she wasn't concerned about whether the University beats the Corn Huskers or the Tigers. "It is always fun to have those numbers," Hoins said. "It's always motivating and interesting to see where you are in regards to other Universities." But more than winning Recyclemania, she said, is her desire for students to develop recycling habits while they're here. - Edited by Anna Archibald LACOSTE Natura Taste VALUE BOX Reed Niemack, a junior from Lyndon, Kan., separates paper to be bundled and shipped to a recycling plant.

After the remodel, store sales increased by about 27 percent and membership increased by about 30 percent, York said. The Merc, 901 Iowa St., is located nearly 2 miles from The Casbah, 803 Massachusetts St. The Casbah sells vegetarian, local and organic food and offers prepared food from its Nice Cafe. The Merc, a larger full service grocery that specializes in organic and naturally produced food, generates about 20 percent of sales from its prepared food area, York said. That area includes a coffee, smoothie and juice bar, a soup and salad bar, and a deli case featuring cheeses, meats and prepared foods. Sarah Hase, customer service manager at The Merc, said that a downtown store would be much smaller than the original. In the 34 years the Merc has been in business, it has moved six times. If The Merc were to buy The Casbah, it would be The Merc's third try at establishing a location on Massachusetts Street.

The Merc has succeeded in attracting customers from areas west of the store that it had targeted when designing the 2007 remodel. "As a '70s co-op we were pigeonhoed as being the dirty hippy co-op." York said. "We've been trying to shed that perception. We're trying to grow up and be responsible."

The first one was more than anyone could ask for: An earsplitting Bramlage Coliseum, College Gameday in the house and two rivals going into overtime. But the end result was in favor of the Jayhawks when Collins had an and-one layup, sealing the Wildcat's fate. 81-79. As far as talent goes, Self said both teams are better than they were during their Jan. 30 matchup, even though Kansas looked terrible at Oklahoma State. But it's been a while since Kansas State has seen defeat. "When we won in Manhattan, I told our staff they will not lose again and when we play them, they will have three losses." Self said. "And that's exactly what played out." The Wildcats are now ranked in the Associated Press top five thanks to a seven-game win streak. They are the only team capable of capturing a portion of the regular season Big 12 title, and they have to win the rest of their games, while the Jayhawks lose the rest of their. Sophomore forward Markieff Morris said the two teams are pretty much the same as they were, but the conditions have completely changed with the title on the line. "We have something to close out and I guess they have something to prove," Morris said. Markieff's brother, Marcus, will not settle for having a share of the title. He said the Jayhawks have something to prove, too. "We have the title right now and we're trying to keep it," Marcus said. "We're not trying to share it with anybody." Marcus is coming off a game where he scored 10 points and was in foul trouble, essentially throughout the entire game. Most players were off against Oklahoma State, but Marcus took some of the blame for himself. "I feel like I have to prove myself all over again," he said. The main focus: rebounding. The layhawks were out-rebounded by 10 against the Cowboys, considering they were a vastly smaller team. Self said the Wildcats are one of the best teams in the country because they do consistently what the Jayhawks failed to do Saturday. They can rebound, they can defend and they can execute on offense. But what Self witnessed wasn't on the stat sheet. He said Kansas State had intangibles that enable "I didn't see anybody upsetting Kansas State because I think they're really good at making other teams play poorly when they're not at their best, better than anybody in our league." Self said. them to compete with any team in the nation. With all the celebrations of Senior Night aside, the lajawhaws still have a job to do. They are poised for a rebound game, but it will be the toughest opportunity they've had at home all season. "Playing against K-State is like preparing for war," Markieff Morris said. "Those guys work so hard."

H oglund Ballpark is waiting for you. The temperatures outside With exciting players, a poten tally potent offense and free admission for students, the ball park should be a great place to spend warm spring days. Kansas is predicted to finish second in the Big 12, behind perennial contender Texas, in the preseason conference coaches' poll. The layhawks are 4-1 this year. They've been ranked or been close to it for duration of the season. Kansas made the NCAA Tournament last year, losing in the Chapel Hill regional to North Carolina, and should make it again this year. Kansas has great players, players that have previously been drafted out of high school by major league teams but chose to come to Kansas. The Jlayhawks play great at home. Last year, they were 25-3 at home. This year they have big home games against rival Missouri in early May and Oklahoma in late May, which is currently No. 22 in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches Poll. Kansas can score runs. An exciting offense can get casual fans to come out and watch games. The Jayhawks have scored nine or more runs in three of their first five games this season. The team is led by junior third baseman Tony Thompson. Thompson was selected to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association preseason All-American Second Team. Only four other Big 12 players were named to a NBCWA All-American team. Last year, he became the first Big 12 player ever to hit for the league's Triple Crown, leading the league in batting average .389).home runs (21) and RBIs (82). Other players such as junior outfielder Brian Heere should be drafted by Major League Baseball teams this summer and Thompson may not be the only one with the potential to make it to the big leagues some day. Thompson suffered a hairline fracture in his left kneecap a little less than a month ago and should be able to resume playing sometime in the next couple weeks. He may possess the ability to catch the other players in the Big 12 in home runs and RBIs even after missing the first part of the season. It will be exciting to see him chase his second straight Big 12 Triple Crown. Admission is free for students with a KUID. Grab something to eat at the dollar concessions and for the next few months, take a break from studying and take in the sights and sounds of spring and enjoy baseball season.

HOCKEY —Jayson Jenks Olympic hockey grabs record high views Sunday's Olympic gold-medal hockey game was the most-viewed hockey game in the United States in 30 years and the most-viewed show of any kind in Canadian history. Sunday's viewership peaked at 34.8 million. Associated Press Royals face another sad year MORNING BREW The old saying goes that hope springs eternal, which, with all due respect to Alexander Dune is a crock. One need look no further than the Kansas City Rivals to see why. Despite the fact that spring training has only just begun — the time when, spring puns aside, hope really is supposed to exist for every fan base — a cloud of resignation has already set in over Kansas City. Not without good reason, of course. The Royals were awful last year. They did nothing to get better in the offseason. Thus, they will be awful again this year. It's a simple conclusion to arrive at, given the facts. And that conclusion stands starkly against the aforementioned trope regarding hope. Royals fans have none, and they shouldn't. But give Dayton Moore and Co. this much: They aren't teases. They could have strung fans along with a series of just-good-enough-to-inspire signings and transactions like that other Kansas City pro sports franchise did for so long. But Moore didn't bother with that pretense. He didn't even try and trick Royals fans into thinking that this year offers even a hint of a glimmer of improvement. MARCO BERTANO It sounds awful, superficially. isn't it the general manager's job to make the team better? Of course. But only if it actually results in tangible positive results. I much prefer the "we're BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com going to suck and we know it" signings Moore made this off-season. Jason Kendall was a historically prolific base-stalking catcher in the late 90s, which is a bit like being the obligatory vaguely dorky member of the eight most popular boy bands of that year. It's something of a designation, technically. And it surely doesn't count for much now. Get ready to pine for the glory days of John Buck. And how about Rick Ankiel? Isn't he a neat story? Sure, it's nice that he's no longer pitching, and thus not a threat to human life for several miles in the general direction of home plate. But he's also 31 years old and struck out more often than he hit safely last year. His career on base percentage of .311 would make a really nice batting average, though. These are the signings of a team that isn't even bothering to pretend to try, like the 500-pound guy polishing off his fifth heaping mound of orange chicken at a Chinese buffet. It may be sad to see at THE MORNING BREW first, but ultimately you just have to respect the honesty. But what about reigning AL Cy Young winner Zack Greinke and 23-year-old doubles machine Billy Butler? Aren't they young cornerstones around which the Royals could presumably build a competitive ball club? Maybe in several years with the right combination of smart signings and successful prospect development. But let's face it, those things are hard to do. Pining for them will only result in bitter disappointment. That is why Dayton Moore's offseason plan was brilliant, and, ultimately, merciful. Why get your fans' hopes up only to let them down? Better to kill the dream before it can turn into a nightmare. So thanks Dayton Moore. You did the right thing. Bring on 90+ losses. Or — who am I kidding? — let's go for 100. Edited by Anna Archibald BASKETBALL Syracuse passes Kansas in ranking ASSOCIATED PRESS Syracuse took quite a route to its first No.1 ranking in 20 years. The Orange werent in the preseason Top 25 and, just days after it was released with them in "Others Receiving Votes," they were beaten by Division II LeMoyne in an exhibition game. But they were back in the poll — at No.10, in fact — just two weeks into the season after impressive wins over California and North Carolina in the 2K Sports Classic. ASSOCIATED PRESS TOP 10 The Orange haven't been out of the top 10 since and on Monday moved from fourth into the No.1 spot, taking advantage of a weekend that saw the top three teams lose. Syracuse (27-2), which received 59 first-place votes from the national media panel, moved 1. Syracuse (27-2) "It's a great honor, a great testament for these players, these kids, to be number one," Syracuse coach Jim Boehm said. "We all know it doesn't matter that much in the big picture, it's where you are at the end of the year. These kids have worked hard, been unselfish. They deserve it. They really do." This is the third time the Hall of Fame coach has had the Orange at No. 1. There was the preseason plow in 1987-88 and a six-week stint in 1989-90. 2. Kansas (27-2) 3. Kentucky (27-2) 4. Duke (25-4) 5. Kansas State (24-4) 6. Ohio State (23-7) 7. Purdue (24-4) 8. New Mexico (27-3) 9. Villanova (23-5) 10. West Virginia (22-6) As always, it's Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense, which it didn't use in the loss to LeMoyne, that is drawing all the attention in the rise up the polls. to the top off its 95-77 victory over then-No. 7 Villanova in front of an on-campus record crowd at the Carrier Dome. "The biggest thing is that we've been the biggest we've been inside in a long time and we just cover better. These guys have worked a little harder at it," Boeheim said. "We're also still leading the nation in field goal percentage (52.2) so we've also been a very good offensive team. They really move the ball and pass the ball extremely well. We've been good on both ends of the court. It's not one thing really." Syracuse is the sixth team to go from unranked in the opening poll to No. 1. Kansas was the last, reaching No. 1 on Jan. 9, 1990. Kansas, which had been No. 1 for the last four weeks and 13 polls overall this season, had the other six first-place votes and dropped to second. The Jayhawks (27-2) lost at Oklahoma State on Saturday, the same day Kentucky (27-2) lost at Tennessee. The Wildcats, who were No. 1 for one week in January, fell one spot to third. Texas, the fourth team to hold the No. 1 position this season, rankings from 21st. The Longhorns became No. 1 for the first time in school history in January, but have dropped seven of 12 after their 17-0 start. Indiana was the last to do it in 1979-80. Duke and Kansas State each moved up one place to fourth and fifth, while Ohio State jumped three spots to sixth. Purdue dropped from No. 3 to seventh following Sunday's 53-44 loss to Michigan State, the Boilermakers' first game since losing second-leading scorer and rebounder Robbie Hummel to a knee injury. New Mexico was eighth, followed by Villanova and West Virginia. They are the fourth team to hold the No.1 ranking and drop out of the poll in the same season Michigan State led the second 10, followed by Butler, Vanderbilt, BYU, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Gonzaga, Georgetown and Temple. Maryland (21-7), which is second to Duke in the ACC, was ranked for the first two weeks of the regular season. UTEP (22-5), which has won 12 straight, is "We've been good on both ends of the court. It's not one thing really." JIM BOEHEIM Syracuse coach ranked for the first time since February 1992. Xavier (21-7), co-leaders of the Atlantic 10, moved in for the first time this season, knocking out Richmond (22-7) with a double overtime win over the Spiders on Sunday.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 2010 / SPORTS 3B PGA Former Oklahoma State players face off in Phoenix Open ASSOCIATED PRESS SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Hunter Mahan and Rickie Fowler both came out of Oklahoma State with big expectations. There, the similarities end. Mahan is reserved and unassuming. Fowler tends toward the flamboyant. The quiet one prevailed, barely, at the Phoenix Open. Mahan defeated the younger Fowler by a stroke on Sunday for his second PGA Tour victory. For now, Fowler will have to settle for another second close call in Arizona. The 27-year-old Mahan had an eagle and a pair of birdies in a late four-hole span to finish at 16-under 268. Mahan, whose first victory came at the 2007 Travelers Championship, closed with two bogey-free six-under 65s. Fowler, just 21 and a tour rookie, had a final-round 68 for the second runner-up finish of his young career, both of them in Arizona. In his second PGA Tour event last Oct. 25. Fowler lost in a three-way playoff to Troy Matteson in the Frys.com Open just down the road at the Grayhawk Golf Club. "Been in a playoff and having a putt to go into the playoffs," Fowler said, "so obviously I'm going to try to play out here as much as I can." Mahan and Fowler barely know each other, but they are Cowboys through and through. "Oklahoma State has had a lot of great players, and they keep putting them out there it seems like every year," Mahan said. "Rickie is a great player and a great kid. I'm proud to call him a Cowboy." Added Fowler. "It's always a little better to lose to a Cowboy." South Korea's Y.E. Yang also shot a 65 to finish at 14 under, two off the pace. Last year's PGA Championship winner, Yang led until his tee shot went in the water at No. 17. Mathew Goggin, Chris Couch and Charles Howell III tied for fourth at 13 under. Third-round leader Brandt Snedeker struggled mightily with a 78 to wind up far back at 7 under. The win was worth $1.08 million. "It's just finding a way to win. I just haven't been able to do it," he said. "So obviously it feels great to get off the year on my fifth tournament to win. It gives me a lot of confidence in myself that I'm Although he hadn't won, Mahan has AT&T National. His earnings the last two years topped $5 million. "Rickie is a great player and a great kid.I'm proud to call him a Cowboy." played well the past two years. He played on the 2008 Ryder Cup team and had six top-10s in 2009, including a runner-up finish at the doing the right things in my game, and it feels great, it really does." HUNTER MAHAN Golfer A total of 0.67 inches of rain fell and wind reached 47 mph overnight at TPC Scottsdale and sprinkles lingered Sunday morning. But the rain subsided by the time the leaders teed off at noon. The tournament, in its 75th year, was known as the FBR Open but returned to its longtime Phoenix Open name when Waste Management Inc. took over as the title sponsor this year. The weather held the estimated final-round crowd to just under 44,000, well off last year's 60,000-plus. That brought the week's total attendance to nearly 426,000, down from 470,000 a year ago at the rowdy event that always draws the biggest crowds on the tour. Mahan hit his second shot on the par-5 13th 250 yards within 7 feet of the pin and made the eagle putt to reach 14 under. His 18-foot birdie putt on the par-4 14th moved him to 15 under. The clincher came at the notorious 16th, the par 3 surrounded by bleachers filled with noisy, irreverent fans who cheer and boo with equal enthusiasm. Mahan's tee shot caught the edge of the green and he made the subsequent $14\frac{1}{2}$-foot putt to regain the lead at 16 under. "You still have a tournament to win, you can't really worry about the people," he said. "You just kind of have to block it out, but at the same time kind of enjoy it because you don't have that opportunity to have so many people watching you on one hole." At the 15th, the open desert course's final par 5. Fowler chose to play conservative and lay his shot up rather than go for the green, which is surrounded by water. He said he felt he was a bit too far away from the pin to go for it, considering he was just one shot back and had what he felt were good birdie chances on Nos. 16 and 17. "I felt that instead of bringing trouble into play," Fowler said, "... I took the safe route." KANSANCLASSIFIEDS FOR SALE 2002 Mazda Protege ES, ~129k miles.

Karsten Lunde/KANSAN MLB Royals' hitting coach has high hopes for season No.2 ASSOCIATED PRESS SURPRISE. Ariz. — Given Kansas City's paltry on-base percentage, it's hard to call Kevin Seitzer's first year as hitting coach a roaring success. It could even be called a failure. Nevertheless, Seitzer figures year No. 2 should be better for many reasons. The arrival of some savvy, experienced newcomers should help. Veterans like outfielder Scott Podsnik and indefiler Chris Getz have career on-base percentages higher than the .318 the Royals put up last year. Most of all, Seitzer feels he's earned the right to expect hitters to listen. "Last year I had to prove they could trust me," he said. "So this year, I'm hoping we get in, we get after it, we get better, we get prepared." Royals fans have no problem trusting Seitzer's hitting credentials, especially those who recall 1987 when he hit .323 and finished second to Mark McGwire in rookie-of-the-year balloting. AL Central. Still, it was back with his old team. He had some familiarity with the Royals since he followed them closely as a yearlong Kansas City resident. But with few things did seem to pick up m the last couple "Last year I had to prove they could trust me." exceptions, the Royals struggled at the plate while finishing in a last-place tie with Cleveland in the KEVIN SEITZER Royal's hitting coach of months. "I'm excited about being a second-year coach in this organization," Seitzer said. "You can come in as a new coach, but that doesn't mean you're going to instantly have the trust and respect that a hitting coach needs in order to (persuade hitters to) make the adjustments happen during the game. "There are things — mindsets, approaches, that I know worked and didn't work as a hitter," he said. "Last season, I feel it got better and better and better as the season went on." Billy Butler was his biggest success story. At 23, he had 51 doubles, 21 home runs, 93 RBIs and a .301 average. It was one of the best years in team history and he lavishes credit on Seitzer. Still, only two major league teams had a worse on-base percentage than Kansas City. Does not matter, insists manager Trey Hillman. "I thought he was outstanding last year," the second-year manager said of Seitzer. "For me, it's just a continuation of what he did." Another newcomer, infielder/ outfielder Josh Fields, sought out Seitzter several times during the winter after getting traded to the Royals by the Chicago White Sox.

MLB Happiness in spring ball for A-Rod Despite steroid questions, Yankees third baseman says he is focused on baseball ASSOCIATED PRESS TAMPA, Fla. — Alex Rodriguez sat in a tent here Thursday for a news conference and said he was happy. Not quite on the latter. Happy with how last season went, happy with getting the "humongous gorilla" off his back in winning a World Series; happy overall to have put the unpleasantness relating to the overriding topic of last spring behind him. The third baseman Monday said he had been contacted by federal authorities in regard to their investigation of Anthony Galea, a Canadian sports medicine doctor who is facing charges in his country, including the distribution of performance-enhancing drugs to professional athletes. In September, Galea's assistant was stopped at the border with human growth hormone (HGH) and other drugs. For Rodriguez, it is an unwelcome jolt back into a world he thought he had started to put behind him last spring, which started with his news conference relating to his admitted use of steroids. "I'm aware of an investigation and I plan on cooperating," Rodriguez said after the Yankees' workout at George M. Steinbrenner Field. The extent of Rodriguez's relationship with Galea is not clear. Mark Lindsay, a chiropractor from Ontario who has worked with Galea, oversaw Rodriguez's rehabiliti- know within time all at the same time. "This is about someone else," Rodriguez said later. "I'm going to cooperate as best I can and focus on baseball." "The New York Yankees have not been contacted with regard to an investigation of Dr. Tony Galea," the statement said. "The Yankees never authorized Dr. Tony Galea to treat Alex Rodriguez nor do we have any knowledge of any such treatment. The Yankees authorized Dr. Marc Philippon to operate on Alex and oversee his rehabilitation. At the request of Dr. Philippon, we also authorized Dr. Mark Lindsay to supervise the daily rehabilitation program established by Dr. Philippon. We will continue to monitor the situation." The Yankees distanced themselves from Galea in a statement issued Monday afternoon. Rodriguez mostly declined to comment other than to say he had been contacted and would assist in the investigation. Lindsay and Philippon could not be reached for comment. "I can't really get into that," Rodriguez said of what he had been told by authorities. "I know you guys have to ask those questions tation from hip surgery performed by Dr. Marc Philippon last year. "I am aware of an investigation and I plan on cooperating." but I have to speak to those guys first." Asked if he had ever dealt directly with Galea, Rodriguez said: "I can't get into that. But you'll Rodriguez said he was not aware of when any interviews would take place. ALEX RODRIGUEZ Yankees third baseman "I'm waiting for instructions," he said. Mets shortstop Jose Reyes last week was questioned by the authorities regarding treatment he received last year from Galea. General manager Brian Cashman said he found out Monday morning that Rodriguez had been contacted. He said he wasn't aware of any other Yankees players with whom authorities were interested in talking. "At this point, I'm not going to comment," Cashman said. "I'm not going to comment at this point because I don't have much to comment off of." Asked if he was worried about this story hanging over his head for a long period of time and becoming a distraction, Rodriguez said simply: "No." GAME (CONTINUED FROM 1B) mid-week game for the Razorbacks but the third for the lavwhacks. Senior TJ Forrest will get the start for the Razorbacks. This game is a part of the Peoria Spring Training Classic in which the Jayhawks started undefeated last weekend by taking two games against Sacramento State and defeating Gonzaga once. The second game involving Gonzaga and Kansas was canceled because of heavy rains in Peoria, Ariz. "We had quite a turnaround in preparing for Sunday's game," coach Price said. "Our wake up call was at 6 a.m. for batting practice and they pushed that back then the game was canceled at 8 a.m." After a long wait, the Overland Park native will make his first start in a Kansas uniform. Taylor was slotted to start on Sunday against Gonzaga before the game was canceled due to rain. Coach Ritch Price is high on Taylor, saying he has been impressive throughout offseason workouts.

BOWIE Waters COLLEGE BASKETBALL Huskies near win streak record ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Tina Charles had 18 points and eight rebounds to become top-ranked Connecticut's career leader in both categories in a 76-51 win over No. 6 Notre Dame on Monday night, leaving the Huskies one shy of tying their NCAA women's record for consecutive victories. Connecticut (30-0, 16-0), which reached 30 wins for the fifth straight season, can match the record of 70 consecutive wins set by the Huskies from 2001-2003 in the Big East tournament quarterfinals on Sunday. It is the eighth time the Huskies have gone unbeaten in a Big East regular season. been by double figures. The loss dropped the Fighting Irish (25-4, 12-4) into a fourth place tie with No. 16 St. John's, but the Irish will be the fifth seed in the tournament because of a loss to the Red Storm. Charles passed Nykesha Sales (1995-98) as the school's all-time leading scorer and Rebecca Lobo (1992-95) as its leading rebounder. Maya Moore had 17 points and nine rebounds as all five Connecticut starters finished in double figures. Tiffany Hayes added 13 points, Kalana Greene 12 and Caroline Doty 11. The Huskies got just five points from their bench. Devereaux Peters matched her career high in leading the Irish with 15 points, and Becca Bruszewski also had 15 as the Irish got 31 points from its bench. The Irish who appeared intimidated in falling behind 24-4 en route to a 70-46 loss at UConn on Jan. 16, their first of the season, got off to a much better start on Monday. The Irish closed to 16-15 when Bruszewski hit a 3-pointer midway through the first half. Notre Dame simply couldn't live up to its reputation as streak busters. The women's basketball team ended a 30-game winning streak by UConn in 2001, The Irish also stopped UCLA's 88-game winning streak in men's basketball in 1974. But the Irish never came close to challenging the Huskies in two games this season. COLLEGE BASKETBALL Gonzaga gets WCC honors Matt Bouldin wins player of the year Mark Few wins another coach of the year ASSOCIATED PRESS Bouldin captured what was a competitive duel with Saint Mary's center Omar Samhan, while Vandersloot, a junior point guard, was a repeat choice. SEATTLE _ Matt Bouldin and Courtney Vandersloot pulled down West Coast Conference player-of-the-year awards for Gonzaga, as the Zags' league champions dominated WCC individual honors announced Monday. Joining Bouldin on the 10-man all-league team were teammates Steven Gray and Elias Harris, a freshman who was also named newcomer of the year. Coach Mark Few won coaching honors for the eighth time, while Bouldin's player-of-the year award marked the ninth time a Gonzaga player has won since 2001. Gonzagas regular-season title, while the Gaels were runners-up. Bouldin averaged 16 points and was among the league's top five in assists, free-throw percentage and steals. "I really thought he and Omar both deserved it," Few said. "Both were so consistent and so good." Samhan led the WCC in scoring (21.5), rebounding (11.1) and blocked shots (2.9). But Bouldin prevailed on the basis of his all around game and perhaps on Courtney Vandersloot junior point guard for Gonzaga's women's basketball team, also won WCC player-of-the-year honors.

Yet often a three- to five-minute scoreless period hands the opposition a lead too great for the lahawks to overcome. The Jayhawks notched a measly 21 below goals in 40 minutes Sunday at then No. 17 Baylor. They fell 70-47, tallying their third-lowest scoring total of the season. "Not taking any credit away from Baylor, but we beat ourselves up," he beat guard Rhea were just out of sync." "Not taking any credit away from Baylor, but we beat ourselves up." Codio said. "Offensively we weren't as disciplined as usual. A lot of our shots were not according to plan. Things Eight different times, Kansas recorded field goal droughts of at least two minutes, three of which lasted more than three minutes. But the span that spaced the score started with 4:55 remaining in the first half and Bavlor leading 27-23. During one skid that continued until 18:26 in the second half, the Jayhawks missed all seven of their RHEA CODIO Junior guard shot attempts, four by senior guard Sade Morris, surrendered two turnovers and committed two fouls, both by Codio. The Bears went on a 12-0 run and led 39-23. "I wouldn't say Sage taking a 15 foot jump shot is a bad shot", Henrickson said. "She just doesn't get it to fall." Much of Sunday's struggles can be credited to the defensive of Baylor freshman Brittney Griner. Griner, who bloomed to shots against Kansas, used her 7-foot-4 height to her advantage. "She half-way plays you," Morris said. "But she's got the length and ability to still get to the shot." 12-0 run, and led 46-36. After the run, Kansas didn't come within eight However, despite "If we can stop them from scoring and we don't score, things will be better for us." however despite Griner's presence in the paint, scoring droughts of the past prove that it doesn't take a 6-foot-8 shot blocker to disrupt the lavihawks' flow. Last Sunday at Texas Tech, a steal and layup by senior guard LaChelda Jacobs gave Kansas a 36-34 lead with 17:29 to go. But over the next six minutes, Kansas committed two fouls, missed five shot attempts and squandered five turnovers.

Jayhawks' offense couldn't continually keep pace with the Lady Raiders and lost 68-51. Texas Tech's roster doesn't boast a player taller than 6-foot-3, the average height of a Big 12 center. There was no Brittney Griner to be seen. Still, the "When we get in situations like that, we've still got to stop them from scoring." Morris said of the cold streaks. "If we can stop them from scoring and we don't score, things will be better for us. But because we can't get the stops when we're not scoring, it kills us."

Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE PHOTO NFL Rival quarterbacks fight for draft MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INDIANAPOLIS _ The friendship is one that overcame an impassioned rivalry because of a shared position, two right shoulders and matching competitive natures. "Some people think the idea of texas and OU guys getting along is pretty strange," four-year Texas starter Cork McCovay said. Yet that is the case with McCoy and Sam Bradford. The two quarterbacks participated in the NFL scouting combine and each was quizzed by NFL teams on recuperation. Bradford was hurt late in the first half of the season opener against BYU and had to leave the game. He missed three more games before returning to complete 27-of-49 passes for 389 yards and a touch-down against Bavlor. The next week in the annual meeting with Texas, Bradford was hurt again and missed the rest of the season. McCoy played only five plays of the national championship game against Alabama before his injury, which did not require surgery. and Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen. Bradford has prototypical size for a quarterback. He was measured here at 6-foot-4 and weighed 236, an increase from the 223 he weighed in college. Although both quarterbacks met with teams, neither will throw until their respective pro days at their schools. Bradford will work out March 25 while McCoy will throw for NFL teams March 31. There is little doubt that Bradford is rated ahead of McCoy Despite being undersized, McCoy demonstrated gigantic confidence Saturday, saying that he felt he should be in the conversation as the No.1 pick in the draft along with Bradford and defensive tackles Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska and Gerald McCoy of Oklahoma. Bradford likely will be the winner in competition to see who is drafted first — the Sooner or Longhorn. But he also said that McCoy has a big supporter from Oklahoma.

KS 66047 FORT WAYNE, Ind. _ Matt Painter was back firing verbal shots at his Purdue Boilermakers. The coach thought he was done with this kind of motivation, at least until next season when habits always have to be relearned. Painter had seen 10 games worth of proof that Purdue understood that nothing was more important than effort.

"The other night was disappointing because if we can't play any harder than that ... Purdue (24-4), which dropped from third to seventh in the AP poll, will be favored against Indiana even without Hummel, who averaged 15.7 points and 6.9 rebounds. "This is where we were at 2-3. We can play great defense, but you can't get the reward if you can't rebound." Painter won't let this theme go. He will hammer the Boilers about it in practice for the next few days, and it will start, and certainly not end, with his two best healthy players. E'Twaun Moore and Jaluan Johnson. Figure Painter won't coach soft the next few days. Yes, IU is 9-19 with a 10-game losing streak. It plays the patsy to everybody these days with seven straight losses by at least 14 points. "They both have to rebound better," Painter said. "It's the same with the ball. There are no excuses. We're in March now. I feel like Groundhog Day where we're back where we were before. I'm perplexed. We have guys who don't go get the ball. It's my fault. I'm the coach. I didn't have them ready to go. You can't play soft in this league." But the Hoosiers pushed the Boilers hard in last month's 78-75 loss at Assembly Hall. Plus, it's When Purdue won at Michigan State, Hummel had six rebounds. Not having him didn't account for the 46-20 rebounding disparity. "Our guys have to look in the mirror," Painter said. "Every single one of them.

He left for about an hour while his fabric was washing, thinking another student would look after it. When he returned, most of his fabric was gone. "It was pretty inconvenient," Carlson said. "I had to buy another $50 worth of fabric." Carlson is just one of the victims of art supply theft that has been occurring in the Art and Design building in the past few months. The frequent thefts are part of an ongoing investigation by the police. Only five reports of robbery and one report of misdemeanor theft have been accredited to the building since June 2009, though police said many of these types of thefts often go unreported. Education from Overland Park, had a $100 dye kit stolen this semester and did not report the theft. Basore said supplies were stolen on a weekly basis and went unreported for a number of reasons. Tori Basore, a sophomore in Art "I had to let it go" Basore said. "There wasn't much I could do about it." Some students do not report the thets because they are in the middle of projects and need to find quick solutions, while others do not think anything will be resolved by reporting the theft. Graham Martin, a senior in textiles from Atlanta, said that one of his friends had all of her work stolen and that nothing was done after she told her instructor. Martin himself has had at least $250 worth of supplies stolen. Among the items was a $200 dye kit he purchased. He said he had heard of another 13 students with the same theft. Now, he said, he feels afraid to even go to the bathroom without locking everything up. Other students have reported thefts of everything from supplies to food and actual finished art pieces. The cost of replacing supplies as well as the nuisance of having to go out of the way to repurchase them frustrates students. Sam Boje, a senior from Overland Park, also had a dye kit bose. Bose could not afford and did not have the time to buy new supplies, so he paid a friend to borrow a kit. The theft problem, which he said has almost completely ruined people's trust in one another, has put him on edge about his own actions for fear that people might think he is stealing. "I think we need to find a way to bring some trust back into here," Boje said. "It makes our department function a lot less smoothly if we can't have some trust that we can leave our stuff out."

Organizations such as Complete Count Committee are trying to get more students to return their forms to be counted. BY ANNIE VANGSNES anniev@kansan.com Graphic by Nick Gerik/KANSAN If students want to enroll next semester, they'll need to fill out the state census. The University is requiring students to complete the state census before enrollment begins March 25 or a hold will be placed on their account. Seniors will not have a held place on graduation, but are still expected to complete it. University Registrar Cindy Derritt said students should receive an e-mail from the University this week that includes a link to the state census. Students' completion of the census will be tracked by their seven-digit KUID. Derritt said the state required the University to have 100 percent completion so it could correctly redistrict state legislative districts. Kansas is the only state to administer a state census. The national census records where people live as of April 1, but the state census establishes a person's permanent address. A student's permanent address is left to the discretion of the student. Brad Bryant, state election director, said that state law required college students and military personnel to complete the state census because they represented two sizable groups that might not be counted at their permanent address. "KU'S trying to comply with the law here." Bryant said. "And the question is, 'What if you don't comply with the law?' The answer is you can be taken to court." Bryant said no one had ever challenged a university mandate to complete the state census in court. Alex Earles, a senior from Salina, is a member of the Lawrence Complete Count Committee. The committee's goal is to raise the return rate of census forms for underrepresented groups, such as college students and minorities. Earles said one potential shortfall of the state census was that a person's permanent address was up to the discretion of the individual. The University did not have a hold system in place for the last census in 2000. Derritt said that the return rate was very low, but that she did not know exactly how low. Earles said Kansas State University had a hold system for the census in 2000 and its return "It shouldn't be that big of a deal with the proper education and with people knowing it's coming." Earles said. rate was between 95 and 98 percent. Earles expects students will comply with the mandate to avoid holds. Students should receive their national census via mail by mid- March. Leo Prieto, census partnership specialist, said each national form was coded to track its return. The deadline for census forms is April 1. Earles said if students don't return their census forms by the IMPORTANT DATES: SEE CENSUS ON PAGE 4A Early March: Students receive the state census website in an e-mail.

LAWRENCE NO Drinks Alcohol Outside Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN A poster for the fake ID initiative is displayed in Rick's Place, 846 Illinois St. City and state groups are leading the campaign against fake IDs. Local effort fights students' fake IDs BY ROBERT ALTMAN raltman@kansan.com The ice machine at Rick's Place, 846 Illinois St., is full of good advice. Next to pictures of people letting loose in the bar is a sign advertising the "Fake or Borrowed ID 101" initiative recently launched in Lawrence. And if you look close enough at the sign, you might be able see the three remaining sting dates scribbled down on the back of a receipt for everyone to see. In case your eyes are bad, or you're under 21 and shouldn't be there, the scheduled dates are tonight, March 25 and March 27. "We tell everyone we can possibly tell," Rick Younger, owner of Rick's Place, said. The campaign was created in response to the 118 fake ID charges reported last year and the 27 charges reported this January, said Jen Brinkerhoff, director of prevention for the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, or DCCCA. "The majority of people that go to KU are under 21, so they need to have another message besides 'Just do it safe.'" Brinkerhoff said. "A responsible message is, if you're under 21, the best thing is to not drink at all." A Younger was part of the committee that organized the initiative. The committee included the owners of Wayne & Larry's and Johnny's Tavern, The New Tradition Coalition of Lawrence, the Kansas Traffic Safety Resource Office, the Department of Revenue Alcoholic Beverage Control, the KU Office of Public Safety, the Lawrence Police Department and the Douglas KANSAN EDITORIAL Read The Kansan's editorial about fake IDs.

Deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office tried to prevent the tall, flightless bird from running into trafic.

Couple violates law by removing lawn ORANGE, Calif. — A couple who tried to save water and money by removing their lawn is being taken to court by the city of Orange. Quan and Angelina Ha have a scheduled court date Tuesday. The couple replaced their grass with wood chips in 2008. At a time when Southern California cities fine people for overwatering their thirsty lawns, the Has said they've saved hundreds of thousands of gallons of water and drastically lowered their water bill.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3. 2010 / NEWS LAWRENCE 3A Pets both entertain and promote local businesses BY SAMANTHA COLLINS editor@kansan.com editor@kansan.com Andrew Shank, assistant manager at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, walks into the store every morning and is welcomed by a meowing sound coming from the speakers. His first step to opening the store is to let Stanley the cat out of the office so he can roam the building. "Stanley knows which buttons to press in the office to work the intercom." Shank said. "It's sort of eerie to hear a deep meowing noise right at the first thing in the morning." Permits are not necessary to house pets in a business and these furry friends both entertain guests and promote the store at a handful of locations in Stanley the cat from Sunflower Outdoor and Bike shop downtown on Massachusetts Street walks around the store. Stanley was adopted by the owner from a shelter. BEGIN END "People make an association with the store, they say 'Let's go to the cat record store.' Kelly Corcoran, manager of Love Garden Sounds, said. "They may not buy anything Lawrence. but we're on their radar." "People seem to enjoy going into a store where they can shop and pet animals." know about them." Corcoran said Love Garden Sounds' store cats — Mickey, Roy, and Sam — provided a family-friendly environment. Families often come with their small children to play with the cats. The Dusty Bookshelf also uses its feline resident to gain attention. In 1996, the used book store opened on 708 Massachusetts St. Alice, now an 11-year-old gray, tabby cat, became a resident three years later, after being a stray. Josiah Earle, assistant manager, said Alice became so popular that the store sold greeting cards and In 2006, The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association conducted a survey that revealed people believed that having pets in the workplace improved relationships among employees and customers. Love Garden Sounds, located at 822 Massachusetts St., opened in 1990 as a full-service record store. The store got its first cat 18 years ago, and has owned multiple cats from the Lawrence Humane Society ever since. Corcoran said that cats were "companions of the store" and were permanent residents. The company even advertisises on the its website that the store has two cats. KELLY CORCORAN Manager of Love Garden Sounds "People seem to enjoy going into a store where they can shop and pet animals," Corcoran said. "So we like to make sure people T-shirts with Alice's photograph. "She definitely affects business in a positive way," Earle said. "She has people who even come in specifically to say hi to Alice." He said Alice never leaves the shop. She eats, sleeps and enjoys constant love from customers all year long. Like Love Garden Sounds, Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, 804 Massachusetts St., also found its furry companion at the Lawrence Humane Society. Shank said the owner's wife, Karla Hughes, found Stanley, now a 10-year-old tan, longhair cat, as an injured stray at the shelter about eight years ago. Stanley lives in the store with all the outdoor merchandise. Customers can also buy various merchandise including T-shirts and water bottles with a photograph of Stanley's head on the front. Shank said Stanley has no teeth, scars all over his body and a BB pellet in his head and one in his hip. He said the shop owner, Dan "Stanley seems to have kind of a pre-Madonna. He's very temperamental; he's kind of a movie star. Like he could have his own trailer," Adam Hess, service manager of Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, said. "So, I think that his own T-shirt, the water bottle and Facebook is great; people seem to like that." Hughes, thought Stanley's personality would work perfectly for a shop cat. "People come in, they don't even look for a product or anything; they come into the door and say 'Where's your cat?' Shank said. "He has definitely helped Sunflower to build bonds with our customers." Erica Eslinger, a junior from Overland Park, said she sometimes went to downtown Lawrence to specifically visit the neighborhood cats. But, she said she wasn't one of those crazy cat people. "They are just so cute; my friends and I can't resist them." Eslinger said. "They remind me of my cats at home, so I love to stop by every once in a while." Although customers enjoy visiting the animals in these establishments, others are not so fond. Lindyn Roush, a sophomore from Pleasanton, Calif., is allergic to cats and finds it difficult to shop in cat-friendly stores. "I normally just endure my allergies because usually you are with other people in the store, you usually don't want to be there," Roush said. "So you just have to sneeze and deal with the itchy eyes." Earle said that he heard a few complaints from customers with allergies but that it hadn't been a big issue for the business. "People kind of say 'Oh, we can't stay here long because I'm allergic to cats.' Earle said. "People just steer clear of the cat or her green chair. But, it's never been an issue. She has got a lot of fans, regardless." Edited by Drew Anderson Website warns to always think before you tweet Social networking users often put up too much information on their current whereabouts. BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com Brandon Volz might be at Allen Fieldhouse tonight, but he isn't going to tweet about it. Pleasedobme.com,awebsite started in February, warns people about posting locations on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and other social networking sites. The website was started by a company called For instance, to encourage people to discuss the online privacy issue. "I have posted that I was at a game before and hadn't really thought about it," Volz, a senior from er's whereabouts and, in time, each other's favorite spots. "I'm a big fan of social media," Do said. "It is a great way to share what you do." But she said she understood the security risks every time she tweeted.

"Now thinking about it, it seems silly." The website points out to social networking users that they wouldn't tape a sign on their front door saying 'I'm not home,' so why put it on the Internet. A rolling feed on the site shows how frequently people make their whereabouts known, calling attention to hundreds of recently empty homes every hour.

"It's a graphic, striking example of what I tell people every day," she said. Fugett said people had asked her if the site might have provided potential robbers with too much information, but she said she thought it would mostly be for awareness. Students need to understand the features and possible risks of the programs and devices they use, she said. Instead of just clicking "OK" on applications, take a second to think about what personal information they might be releasing. "I think it definitely makes an impression on people," she said.

The Douglas County census could be hiring 30 to 50 people throughout the spring. The number of jobs depends on the number of residents who do not return their census forms and must be contacted in person. Nancee Torkelson, local census office manager, said the census was going to need students because of their ability to work evenings and their familiarity with the areas near campus. "They just know more about what's going on on campus," Torkelson said. Torkelson said the first step to apply to work for the census was to set up a testing appointment. All applicants take a 28-question test in 30 minutes that covers basic math, reading comprehension and map reading. Kristen Stutt, a senior from Lawrence, works as a recruiting assistant for the census in Douglas County. She said she usually saw two or three KU students at every test, but had seen one test made up entirely of students. She said that she had seen a small decrease in the number of students at tests recently. "It could just be that in the middle of the semester they just have more going on," Stuitt said. Leo Prieto, a census partnership specialist, coordinates census efforts between the government and community organizations. Prieto said the census paid $10 to $15 per hour, reimbursed for mileage and had flexible hours, which was a draw for students. He said jobs could last from 4 weeks to 6 months. "We're really pushing for students to take their test, get hired and work for the census," Prieto said. Prieto said the census was making the process easier for students by offering a testing site on campus at Snow Hall. Torkelson said there were one to two test sessions at Snow Hall every week and seven to eight test sessions per week across Lawrence. Stitu stt hiring was based mainly on test scores and the needs of the area of town where the applicant lived. She said it also helped if the student was bilingual. WANT TO APPLY? Call (866) 861-2010 to set up a test appointment. After the applicant completes the A practice test is available at http://2010.census.gov/2010censusjobs/documents/Practice_Test.pdf test, the census performs a background check. As soon as a position opens in the applicant's neighborhood, the census will offer him or her a job. Stuit said she applied in January of 2009 and was notified this January that there was a position for her. Torkelson said the census was mainly hiring enumerators, who are door-to-door census takers. Prieto said the census was also hiring people for clerical work in offices and for information centers around town. He said there was not an application deadline, and the census would keep hiring until the need was met. "It's a great way to make a difference," Prieto said. "You're being paid to make a difference."

Between May and July, when many students leave the city, census takers will be going door-to-door to finish the census. He said another problem could be that students don't care enough to return their census forms. He said some students might think it was not convenient enough or just didn't understand the importance. "You can't force people to do it." Butt dialing fail? Earles said. "But in the end you really hope they do." We can fix it. Between censuses, the Census Bureau administers more than 200 annual surveys. iCafe Prieto said it was important for students to complete the national census because the data helped allocate $435 billion in government funding for state and city infrastructure. That money affects student and federal loans, transportation systems, health centers and higher education. The national census also determines state, local and congressional districts. The census is the largest peacetime operation the federal government undertakes. The first census took place in 1790 to determine the number of seats each state would have in the House of Representatives. iCafe Mac sales, service and education icafe-lawrence.com 23rd & Louisiana (785) 830-8683 "When they fill out their census they're going to bring back those tax dollars to their university."

She said that Lawrence bar owners were invited to be part of the committee but that only three attended and were told the dates. "They're the ones that showed up and wanted to be a part of it, so yeah they found out," she said. "I guess it was a little bit of a perk."

"There are consequences if you're doing something illegal, so just be aware that those consequences are out there."

Even students with secure Martin and others said they really noticed the problem last semester and that it had been a bigger issue ever since. But theft is not just an issue for students. Elizabeth Kowalchuk, associate dean for the School of Arts, said the theft of technology belonging to the department had been an ongoing problem in Art and Design. Laptop computers and camera equipment are some of the items that have been taken. Allowing the building to be open throughout the evening could also be part of the problem, she said. Although the Art and Design building closes at night, anyone would have access by way of Marvin Hall, which is open 24 hours every day. Martin said that until he sees a resolution, he has adopted a new philosophy — to keep a better watch on the things and make sure to secure every possession.

Wood, a senior from Lawrence, announced Monday that Students of Liberty would not be running candidates this year and instead would endorse Envision. He said he decided Sunday that Students of Liberty, which ran in 2008 and 2009, didn't have enough money or resources to run a campaign this year. Wood said Envision was focusing on a lot of things that Students of Liberty advocated in its elections, such as no increase in student fees. "That's been a major tennet of both times we ran; that's exactly what we said." Wood said. He said he thought this year there was a more cohesive element with Envision than with KUnited. He said he was also more impressed with Envision this year because he thought candidates for Envision last year were running just because United Students made them mad. contact was Thursday. "I told him I would be busy the most of the weekend." Smith said. "It tells us there are other people ... who kind of agree with what we're doing." Wood said another rea- ROSS RINGER Envision presidential candidate "Sunday was the day of KUnited's first big community service project and big campaign meeting before elections started." "It wasn't that I didn't want to talk to Adam, it just didn't happen that weekend," Smith said. and told him he would get back to him as soon as he could. Smith said he thought that if a conversation had happened with Wood, things would have turned out differently and that he was sorry that it didn't. "I respect Adam Wood and the Students of Liberty and the contribution they made in the previous election," Smith said. "They have an outstanding voice and are committed to something not everyone on campus is." Smith said that he respected Students of Liberty's decision to endorse Envision, but that he hoped through the campaign people saw KUinstead wasn't going to hike fees ore try to spend any more money than necessary. Ross Ringer, Envision's presidential candidate and a sophomore from Prairie Village, said the endorsement sent a good message to students and was positive publicity. "It's definitely a compliment to us," Ringer said. "It tells us there are other people, people who we were competing against last year, who kind of agree with what we're doing and also want to help contribute to it." Edited by Kirsten Hudson Alliance wants to increase graduates HIGHER EDUCATION BOISE, Idaho — More than a dozen states have formed an alliance to battle dismal college completion rates and figure out how to get more students to follow through and earn their diplomas. Stan Jones, Indiana's former commissioner for higher education, is leading the effort with about $12 million in startup money from several national nonprofits including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. About one in every two Americans who start college never finish, said Jones, who founded Complete College America, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, last year. The U.S. has focused on access to higher education for the past several decades, and states need to turn their focus toward how many students actually graduate after they get in, even if it means using a funding structure that is based on degree completion instead of attendance, Jones said Tuesday. "It's going to take a substantial amount of work over a substantial amount of time in order to get the kind of improvement we need," he said. The campaign's goal: Make sure 60 percent of adults between the ages of 25 and 35 hold an associate or bachelor's degree by 2020, up from the 38 percent that now claim this status. The benchmark falls in line with President Barack Obama's desire to once again make the U.S. the leader in college attainment by 2020.

Regardless of whether we agree with the drinking age, uninformed students are being punished for using fake IDs. While the culture of underage drinking in Lawrence makes these penalties overly severe, students should be informed of the potential outcomes of their decisions. Many drinking establishments now have signs in the windows warning customers about what constitutes a fake ID, and what the consequences are for having one. Penalties can be as severe as a $500 fine for a first offense, $2,500 for a second offense or up to a year in jail. These posters are a positive way to inform students about this situation. The KU Public Safety Office should be available as a resource to inform and assist all students, particularly when students are facing such severe punishment for something that is culturally tolerated though still illegal. In a conversation between the KU Public Safety Office and an officer of the University's Panhellenic Association, "The fake ID crack down was discussed," said Caitlin Wise, president of the Panhellenic Association. Regardless of how much information Panhellenic was given about these crackdowns, if the KU Public Safety Office is discussing these raids with any organizations, it should do so on an equitable basis. The Department of Student Housing should be contacted, along with other student groups who have underage members. The Department of Student Housing declined to comment on whether or not they had been contacted by local law enforcement. However, discussing the stings, especially the specific dates, with groups or bar owners potentially negates any benefit of doing the raids in the first place. A $20,000 grant from the Department of Transportation is being used to help pay for these stings, and we want to make sure the money is being used for a productive purpose. The people who are going to end up being hurt by these stings are uninformed, underage students who are living in an environment that doesn't support the idea of jail time being a consequence for trying to get into a bar with a fake ID. Even if it is socially accepted, students need to tell their friends and classmates what can happen when they risk using a fake ID. Caitlin Thornbrugh for The Kansan Editorial Board EDITORIAL CARTOON Possible punishment for possession of a fake ID: — A fine ranging from $500-$2,500 — Up to a year in jail For more information, contact the Lawrence Police Department at 832-7509. SPRING IN KANSAS WINTER IN KANSAS AROOJ KHALID POLITICS Fairness means equality of opportunity, not outcome Most people strive to be fair. Out of all the partisanship we see The vagueness of the term, the popularity of its use and the utter disregard for the fact that it can mean so many different things has created quite a powerful, yet empty, promise for politicians to make. in politics today, fairness is one virtue almost everybody can agree to pursue. However, attempts by politicians to mobilize support behind the idea of "fairness" are complicated by its ambiguous definition. Many on the political left judge the level of fairness on outcomes. Virtually any disparity in outcomes is almost automatically blamed on discrimination. If outcomes are unequal, they must be rearranged to correct the imbalance. So often it seems as though those on the left are so focused on outputs that they disregard inputs. Rather than focus on attitudes, behaviors, and priorities, they place the focus on forcing equali- We have seen this time and time again, it seems as though the goal is to turn achievement by overcoming obstacles into a simple result of privilege and frame those that lag as helpless victims of an evil society. Once considered a political taboo in America, the trend in The Right Idea politics today is to advocate class warfare. Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of it. We hear time and time again about national level income inequality, measured by the amount of disparity between the richest and the poorest classes. We hear about "closing the achievement gap" in the economy and education system. BY CHET COMPTON Equalization becomes the goal of politicians. "Closing the gap" becomes a campaign pledge. Inequalities of outcomes are framed as "unfair." Fairness ought to be defined as equal opportunity, which does not necessarily produce equal outcomes. Attempts should be made to eliminate obstacles to full participation in the market economy and the ability to make use of those skills. However, forcing equalization which almost always means equalizing downward by lowering those at the top, only masks the real problem. But many on the left see different outcomes as unfair and propose redistribution programs to compensate. This forced redistribution brings down those at the top while ignoring any structural issues that could actually solve problems instead of simply covering them up. Take education for example. In my opinion, inner city education is very poor quality. This creates an unfair barrier to compete in a free market system. If the intent is to help people at the bottom of income levels, then education should be a top priority. However, history has shown that redistributing resources by throwing more money in schools is not the solution. Instead the problem is the structure and lack of incentives for schools, neighborhoods and communities to improve themselves. This is where the barriers are created, and as such, it is where the solutions should be sought. Providing free public education, offering scholarships and ensuring other opportunities for achievement are good. But there should be no illusion that they can undo differences in an individual's priorities, attitudes and efforts. Compton is a Wichita senior in political science. That's the right idea. RELATIONSHIPS What happened to chivalry in college? I recently received an unexpected text from someone I originally thought to be a "typical college male." Unusual text from "typical college male": Sorry I wasn't clearer when I asked if you wanted to hang out the other day. Do you want to come over and watch a movie or go out to a movie? My not so-typical female thought process. Wow! Does he mean a real date? This is unusual. But, ugh, first dates are awkward. I'd rather sit around in sweats. Then, oddly enough, the dating advice from Tucker Max raced through my brain. Yes, the author of "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" and self-proclaimed asshole Tucker Max. Max says, "Ladies, let me give you some advice. You can throw all your stupid chick-lit, self-help, why doesn't he-love-me books out, because this is all you need to know: Men will treat you the way you let them, you get what you demand from people. If you demand respect, he will either respect you or he won't associate with you. It really is that simple." Texts in the City Bingo. It all clicked for me. The first date was a clear demand for respect. I'd be a total hypocrite if I said I preferred hanging out. So I accepted, with the slight hope lingering in the back of my mind that I'd actually found a chivalrous college man. I wasn't disappointed. "Typical college male" did simple, yet rare, things to prove himself interested and respectful. He picked me up, paid for my movie and had me home by 10 p.m. None of his acts took considerable effort, but it was all the small things that made a big difference. I live in a house filled with 80 girls. Word travels fast. By morning, I had already been asked BRIAN BROWN BY MANDY MATNEY to spill the details of this rare occasion dozens of times. Girls reacted with so much envy it was as if he had flown me to Paris to watch the sunset. Much to my surprise, most of the girls I talked to had never had a simple date like this in college. I never realized the real rarity of chivalry in college. A recent article in The New York Times theorized that this is because women are outnumbering men on college campuses. A recent study conducted by the American Council on Education Analysis found that women now account for 57 percent of American colleges. The article goes on to suggests that the shortage of men on campus is giving the guys the upper hand on dating, meaning less chivalry and more casual hook ups. I think this is true at the University, where girls slightly outnumber boys. Girls lower their demands and expectations. We settle for the "hang out" because, a lot of times, it feels better than nothing. It's so easy to lose perception in college when sex is so casual and life is so bectic. But there is something to be said about the innocence of a first date. Bottom line: It feels good to be respected and the first date makes this interest and perception of each other much clearer than any 160-character text ever could. Matney is a sophomore from Shawnee in Journalism. Government laws define bank policies LETTER TO THE EDITOR In his article, "Debt-it Cards", Mr Katz states that banks need to be regulated more because they charge individuals who exceed their checking accounts' available funds outrageous overdraft fees. While this may be true, a logical observer must note that a bank would not be able to charge an individual an outrageous overdraft fee if he did not exceed his checking account's purchasing limit. When you open a checking account, you sign a contract with a bank stating that you will not exceed your account's available funds; if you do, you have to pay the money back with interest. I assume that, when Mr. Katz signed this aforementioned contract, he understood that the bank could charge him interest if he exceeded the available funds in his checking account. Therefore, since no one forced Mr. Katz to acquire a checking account, the responsibility of making sure that he does not exceed his account's purchasing limit is his. If he did not exceed his card's purchasing limit, the bank would not have to divert financial and monetary resources to his account (hence why the bank charges interest on people who exceed their purchasing limit). Also, one must mention the reason why banks have been raising their interest rates over the last few years. For a long time now, the federal government has been forcing banks to make bad loans to people (i.e., make loans to people who could not pay them back). As a result, banks have to charge excessive interest rates to make up for lost capital. In conclusion, the reason why banks have to charge outrageous interest rates is because of government regulations. If we continue to increase regulations on banks, more and more banks will leave the country; this will lead to decreases in available lending funds and employment, and it will also lead to a decrease in economic productivity (i.e., people will not be able to borrow as much money). -Thomas Raborg is a junior from Hazlet, New Jersey.

Whether it's watching commercials for environmentally friendly cars and cleaning products or seeing reusable totes that line grocery store aisles, students are not strangers to the message. And Greenpeace wants this kind of green mentality to reach consumers when they think about purchasing the latest gadgets. Greenpeace recently released its first 2010 edition of the "Guide to Greener Electronics." The guide, which was first released in August 2006, comes out every few months and ranks top manufacturing companies based on environmental practices. This includes proper handling of chemicals and energy efficiency of products. For students who are green at heart and looking for more ways to clean up their act, the sidebar shows how the top five companies earned recognition for being environmentally friendly. GREENPEACE'S DEMANDS Greenpeace calls on the companies to meet three main demands. According to greenpeace.org, electronic manufacturers should: Clean up their products by eliminating hazardous substances. Take back and recycle their products responsibly once they become obsolete. - Reduce the climate impacts of their operations and products. By encouraging companies to take back older products and recycle them. Greenpeace aims to reduce what's often referred to as eWaste, or electronic waste. Electronic waste, according to the Greenpeace website, is often improperly discarded and exported to third world countries where eWaste yards have been established for the convenient dumping of products from developed countries. E-WASTE PROGRAM The University has its own program to reduce the widespread problem of electronic waste. Karen Nicholas, communications coordinator with information technology, said the University's eWaste program had received more than 250 requests for recycling eWaste since it began service in July.Before this option was available each department was responsible for the disposal of its own electronics. Nicholas said the program came about because many departments around campus is lost. had requested a service such as this "We do buy all the equipment with energy star rates ... that's a factor." looked into many aspects of electronic manufacturers when deciding what companies to purchase from. "In addition to the environmental benefit of recycling these items, Information Technology can ensure that the items are securely wiped of their KU data and content prior to being recycled," she said in an e-mail. It's free to recycle most products, but there is a recycling fee of $5 for certain computer monitors and a fee of $15 for TVs. The program will accept and recycle electronics including servers, desktops, workstations, thumb drives, cell phones, tapes, printers, monitors, telephones, network gear and more. ELECTRONICS AT KU BARRY SWANSON Director of purchasing Barry Swanson, director of purchasing and strategic sourcing with the University's purchasing department, said the University "We do buy all the equipment with energy star rates, and certainly the green movement that's Although he said decisions were currently made mostly based on price and company service, the environment was playing an increasingly important role in those decisions. Although the environmental friendliness of electronics companies was not currently an official review criteria for the purchasing department, he said he wouldn't be surprised if that didn't change at some point. on going, that's a factor," Swanson said. He said that in the past seven or eight years, the University purchased mostly Dell computers, which placed 14th out of the 18 compa- ranked in its guide. Zack McDougall, buyer and staff supervisor for the Tech Shop in the KU Bookstore, said the Tech Shop sold mostly Apple, Dell and HP computers, which are ranked 5th, 14th and 11th, respectively. "They're the top three notebook manufacturers in the U.S. right now," McDougall said. "Chances are, if you're going to buy a computer, it's going to be from one of those three brands." He said the Tech Shop sold products from eight of the 18 manufacturers that Greenpeace ranked. "We do everything we can to make sure we're carrying an expansive collection of green and greener items from every brand we stock," he said. Edited by Taylor Bern Greenpeace recently released its first 2010 edition of the "Guide to Greener Electronics." The guide ranked 18 of the most popular electronic manufacturers based on environmentally sound practices. Here's a look at the top five, and how they earned their places. 1 Nokia Positives: Nokia was given the most points for its management of chemicals, taking back older electronics to recycle, committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the energy efficiency of new products. Negatives: Nokia was penalized for a low amount of recycled plastic in its products. 2 Sony Ericsson Positives: Sony Ericsson was awarded the most points for supporting a directive to reduce the use of hazardous substances, managing chemicals; increasing energy efficiency of products and phasing out the use of PVC plastic and brominated flame retardants, BFRs, both of which are regulated by the EPA as pollutants. Negatives: Its lowest score came from a low amount of recycled plastic in its products. 3 Toshiba Positives: Toshiba scored most of its points for chemical management and phasing out the use of PVC and BFRs. Negatives: Its lowest scores came from producer responsibility and the amount of renewable energy used in manufacturing. 4 Philips Positives: Phillips was awarded the highest points for efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, chemical management and phasing out the use of PVC and BFRs. Negatives: Its lowest rankings were for current PVC and BFR-free products, its take-back recycling program and the use of recycled plastic in products. 5 Apple Positives: Apple has jumped up six places in the last two versions of the guide. Its highest ranking was for phasing out PVC and BFRs and for a high number of products that are already free of PVC and BFRs. Negatives: The company lost points for producer responsibility, recycled content in products and support for global greenhouse gas emission reductions.

Enrollment begins MARCH 25. INTERNATIONAL General explains warning U.S. leader says Army wanted to reduce number of civilian casualties ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE. N.C. — The general commanding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan said Tuesday the military took a calculated risk when it warned people in the Afghan city of Marjah of a major offensive designed to clear the area of insurgents. Army Gen. David Petraeus said the main reason was to reduce civilian casualties. "We have to do everything possible to limit the loss of innocent life, and that they know that we are doing that as well," he said. He said that some extremists may have escaped with the advanced warning, but that they would be "hunted down." "We've killed boatloads of bad guys in Afghanistan." Petraeus told several hundred people at a luncheon sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Charlotte, a nonpartisan group that educates members about international issues. Petraeus said the U.S. is making progress in a campaign to drive extremists from Afghanistan, but he also warned that the mission is far over. "This is going to be a hard year. There is nothing easy about Afghanistan." Petraeus said. Instead of making a speech, Petraeus, who was the top commander in Iraq before becoming head of the U.S. Central Command in October 2008, answered questions from the audience. They asked him about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and even whether he would consider a run for president. He smiled and quoted what he said was a line from a song: "What about 'No' don't you understand?" Petraeus told the crowd that after more than eight years of fighting in Afghanistan, the U.S. finally is getting troops, diplomats and organizational structure to be able to keep extremist groups from taking over again there. But he also cautioned that the mission would take considerable time. "This is a 12 to 18 month campaign we are embarking on. It's not going to be easy," he said. "We cannot let Afghanistan become a sanctuary or safe haven again for Al-Qaeda or other terrorists," he said. JOIN THE ELITE.

Collins will play his last game in Lawrence tonight at 7 p.m. Rediscover Collins' journey from Chicago to the toast of Lawrence BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c_thibodeau Four years ago, senior guard Sherron Collins didn't know how to speak to a crowd. He didn't care if he graduated. He didn't think he would be emotional about leaving Kansas. Standing on the podium reflecting on his life and career Monday, Collins didn't stumble on any words. He will be walking down the hill this spring. And he assured his last game at the Fieldhouse would involve tears. The man who stood at that podium was the result of a tale 23 years in the making. "It's a pretty remarkable story if you really get down to it," Kansas coach Bill Self said. Growing up in inner-city Chicago, Collins dealt with an unstable environment. His father spent most of his time in jail. Gang life surrounded his neighborhood and he witnessed his best friend's murder. Collins had his mother, Stacey Harris, his brother, Steve Collins, and his uncle, Walt Harris, to look for guidance. From an early age, Sherron took up basketball and it kept him safe. Now Collins is trying to be the role model for those in tough situations, whether that is leading the No.1 team on national television or doing hands-on work off the court. "It shocked me a lot to see him grow up to what he is." Steve said. "He helps out a lot of kids in the neighborhood. When they see him do what he does, it gives them hope." Sherron and Steve played basketball at the Boys and Girls Club of Chicago. Sherron would play as much as possible every day. He even sneaked in at times because he was bored at home. Collins travels back to the club to inspire kids to follow in his footsteps. I know a lot of peo Collins said. "I try to show as much support to them as I can too because I know how tough it is coming in with a situation like that." "I know a lot of people support me," But not everyone has the same benefits Collins had as a child. As he got older, Sherron started opening eyes around the Chicago area. He was a talented pitcher, wide receiver and basketball player. But the court is where he made his mark. His mother worked two jobs to support him and his brother. Steve helped Sherron as an older figure he could look up to. He showed Sherron how to be tough at young age. "I was always pushing him," Steve said. "I was better than him. I would bully him then he just worked hard. He got bigger than me and the rest is history." Basketball kept him out of trouble. Nobody pressured him to participate in a gang. But everyone came to watch, and he earned the respect of the witnesses and "It's a pretty remarkable story if you really get down to it" victims of his basketball prowess. BILL SELF Kansas coach At Richard T. Crane Tech High School, Collins averaged 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists in his senior season somebody that was a household name," Collins said.

In each of his hands is a single plate spinning on a crimson and blue stick. On top of the plate in his left hand is the destiny of Kansas' team. On the other is his singular role as playsman. Collins is only going to make it across the tight rope that is the NCAA Basketball Tournament if he molds the two sides of what has made him such a productive and successful player. BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com twitter/nroesler8 "If it was a situation now," Collins said of the final play in the 2008 NCAA Championship, "instead of making the pass, Id be the one taking the shot." Is it impossible to ask a player of Collins' caliber to play unselfishly, yet still take the important shots when it matters?

Thabeet University of Connecticut, Thabeet looked like a surfeit reincarnation of shot blocking legend Dikembe Mutombo. 10 Fast forward nine months later and the mere sight of Thabee no longer triggers NBA all-defense daydreams. After averaging 2.5 points and 10.3 minutes in 50 games with the Grizzlies, the Tanzanian was optioned to the Dakota Wizards' the Grizzlies' D-League affiliate. Thabeet is still a young project, so it's too early to pin him as a definite bust. But if he never develops into the shot blocking anchor that the Grizzlies once envisioned, the city of Memphis may forever be haunted by tales of Tyreke Evans (No. 4 pick) and Brandon Jennings (No. 10). In consideration of Thabeet's potentially historic bust status, the Brew takes yet another look far back in time. Although for some cities, not far enough. 5. Kwame Brown A classic example of why most high schoolers cannot make the jump to the NBA. In 2001, under team president Michael Jordan, the Washington Wizards made brown of Glynn Academy in Brunswick, Ga., the first ever high school prospect drafted first overall. Although Brown has shown brief glimpseps of stardom in his 10 years in the NBA with four different teams, the majority of his career has been marred by boos, injuries and arguments with teammates. --- Brown 1983-05-28 Drafted ahead of: Pau Gasol (No. 3), Joe Johnson (10), Zach Randolph (19), Tony Parker (28) and Gilbert Arenas (31). BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com 4. Kansas City Royals' First Round Picks Sorry Royal fans, but I had to go there. Pick a bust, any bust. How about Jeff Granger, the No. 5 overall pick in 1993? The southpaw's career ERA was 9.09 after being rushed to the show. Dan Reichert, No. 7 overall in 1997? In the right-hander's debut season, his ERA was 9.08 — so he was better than Granger! Reichert's short stint in pro-ball was highlighted in 2000, when he led the league with 18 wild pitches in just 153+ innings pitched. Then there was lefty Mike Stodolka, No. 4 overall in 2000, who actually never made the majors. Granger-Reichert-Stodolka. Not exactly a Lester-Beckett-Lackey 1-2-3.

My guess is that no one ever told him that as the No. 2 overall selection by the Pistons in the 2003 NBA draft (directly after Lebron James), he was supposed to single-handedly appreciate Detroit's economy.

Engelman hit 4-for-13 from the field and dished out six assists in the 57-54 loss against Iowa State on Thursday. Senior guard Sade Morris didn't hesitate a second when asked how a struggling Kansas team could upset an undefeated Nebraska squad, which is ranked third in the nation, in Lincoln, Neb., tonight. KU "Take care of the ball," Morris said. On Feb. 10, Kansas nearly snuck away with a victory when it hosted Nebraska. The Jayhawks led 53-48 with 8-11 remaining, but junior forward Nicolelette Smith committed a foul five seconds later. Nebraska took advantage and followed that mistake with a 7-0 run. But despite the loss against Nebraska and losing five of its past six games, Kansas is keeping a strong mindset. KU N "Nebraska kept fighting and we coasted," freshman forward Carolyn Davis said after the game. "You've got to be resilient," Henrickson said. "It's a bounce-back league. You don't play at this high of a level and ever think you're going somewhere to lose." Then the Cornhuskers turned up the heat with full-court pressure and coach Bonnie Henrickson used Morris at point guard. But Morris, a natural shooting guard, succumbed to Nebraska's play and surrendered seven turnovers. Nebraska swiped seven of its 10 steals in the final eight minutes and Morris yielded three of Kansas' four turnovers in the final three minutes. The Cornhuskers' undefeated record has a clean ring to it: 27-0 KANSAS AT NO. 3 NEBRASKA **WHEN:** 7 p.m. **WHERE:** Lincoln, Neb. overall and 14-0 in the Big 12. Yet such an immaculate record is exactly why a shocker in Lincoln would boldly stamp a much-needed signature victory on Kansas' NCAA tournament resume. At 5-9 in the Big 12, the layhawks will finish with a sub .500 record in the conference. If they can play the role of undefeated season spoilers Wednesday, they would make a strong case as a tournament-worthy team, even if they were to lose Saturday against No. 15 Texas A&M. Just don't think that one loss will come easily. Nebraska is fourth in the nation in scoring differential, clobbering opponents by an average of 20.9 points per game. "We're always talking about what we've still got to play for," Morris said. "Going to Nebraska's home-court and beating them would be a great feeling. Just to be that one loss that they haven't had." "They know what to do to get a win," Morris said. "We've got to be willing to stick together longer and grind it out, even when it gets tough. Even if it comes down to the last 10 or 20 seconds." "Make sure that it's going to be caught and something can be done with it," Morris said. "Not, 'Oh I hope she catches it', or 'Man, I hope she crabs that.'" For the jayhawks to keep it close against the Cornhuskers they will likely need to consider the magnitude of each pass made. decisions with its passes, it will limit turnovers and expand its opportunities to land an upset. "There isn't a kid that's going to get on that bus and think we don't have a chance in Lincoln," Henrickson said. Edited by Drew Anderson If Kansas can make good Key to the game Shooting The Jayhawks managed to keep their first game against the No. 3 Cornhuskers Feb. 10 close for much of the second half thanks to fantastic shooting. Kansas made 69 percent of its shots in the second half and even made 11 straight at the beginning of the half. But that shooting outburst was not enough to overcome the Jayhawks' meager 26 shooting percentage in the first half. Since that game Kansas has not shot better than its average shooting percentage of 45 percent en route to four losses and one victory. Keep an eye on Aishah Sutherland Sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland has averaged 9.9 rebounds per game in her last three contests. That's more than two boards above her season average and it's good enough to lead the Jayhawks in each of those games. Unfortunately it hasn't been enough for Kansas to win the rebounding battle during the last three games. The Jayhawks have now won just two out of nine games in which they have been out-rebounded. 100 Opponent to watch Kelsev Griffin Sutherland Nebraska senior guard Kelsey Griffin is the frontrunner for the Big 12 Player of the Year award and is also a contender for the National Player of the Year. She's averaging nearly 20 points per game, good for second in the Big 12, and she also grabs 10.6 rebounds per game, which is first in the Big 12. The Jayhawks held Griffin below her season scoring average in a Feb. 10 loss to the Cornhuskers as she played just 26 minutes. Since then, Griffin has scored below her season average once which occurred. (2) 3.3.2.2 Penny Griffin season average once, which occurred in a victory against Iowa State. Prediction Nebraska 67, Kansas 51 Flying Saucer — Andrew Taylor H BASEBALL Kansas walks its way to defeat The Razorbacks' victory comes after series of Jayhawk mistakes BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter.com/bm dub There's a reason why a walk in baseball is also dubbed a free pass. Kansas pitchers issued 14 walks to Arkansas batters Monday, seven of whom eventually came around to score. Razorback pitchers allowed only one walk in the contest. "I actually thought it was more than that," coach Ritch Price said of the walk total. Adding to the extra opportunities were two hit batsmen and two wild pitches, but the high walk S Poppe total alone proved too much for the jayhawks to overcome. "Our pitching staff is based off of pounding the strike zone, and we like to keep walks to a minimum." Thomas Taylor, redshirt freshman pitcher, said. "Obviously that was an extreme problem today." Though they were down 4-2, the inning started well for the Jayhawks, with freshman Tanner Poppe recording two quick outs and jumping ahead of the third hitter two balls and no strikes. The fifth inning in particular served as a microcosm of the additional chances Kansas (4-2) gave to Arkansas (6-1) all game long. Weston White/KANSAN But then Poppe tossed four pitches Johnathan Puebla, a graduate student from Sarasota, Fla., throws a pass to a teammate during ultimate frisbee practice Tuesday afternoon in the field next to Robinson.

MARCH 3. 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM NBA Collins sits on borderline in draft RY TIM DWYFR tdwyer@kansan.com Sherron Collins was never supposed to make it to senior night. He wasn't a four-year player. He was too good to stick around until his senior year. Or so people said. Collins, a senior guard who could have bolted for the NBA draft after either of the past two seasons, stunned the college basketball world by sticking around for one more year. But now, with just one more home game in his prolific Kansas career, it's time to look forward. On the horizon for Collins lies a future in the NBA, starting, no doubt, in late June with the draft. "I think I can play in the NBA," Collins said. "I think I've shown that I can run a team, score, do everything a point guard can do." Where he'll be drafted is a point of contention for many. Collins is a winner. There's no denying that. But as much as he can be a top-flight scorer and assist man at times, questions persist about where he will end up. At 5-foot-11, Collins isn't blessed with premier NBA size, even for the point guard position. And after some injuries derailed him earlier in his career, Collins lacks the must-see explosiveness he had coming out of high school. FORMER JAYHAWKS CURRENTLY IN THE NBA "He used to dunk on guys in half-court offense, so he's not quite as explosive, but he's a much better basketball player," Kansas coach Bill Self said. Darrell Arthur (2006-2008) Memphis CedarLier Memphis Grizzlies Mario Chalmers (2005) 2008) Miami Heat Collins is the type of performer who makes the players around him better. Since last year, he has lowered his turnover numbers and increased his three-point field goal percentage. He boasts NBA-caliber speed and strength, and Self constantly mentions Collins' high basketball IQ. (2008) Miami Heat Darnell Jackson (200 "The other thing about him that is unbelievable is how smart he is," Self said. "The guy is smart, and the guys' figured out how to read people and he understands Darnell Jackson (2004- 2008) Cleveland Cavaliers (2008) Cleveland Cavaliers Brandon Rush (2005-2008) Indiana Pacers Julian Wright (2005-2007) New Orleans Hornets Drew Gooden (1999-2002) Los Angeles Clippers NBADraft.net projected that Collins would be the first pick in the second round. DraftExpress.com put him at No. 29 overall, the second-to-last pick in the first round. And ESPN.com's Chad Ford wrote that Collins was a borderline first-round talent, but that winning a national title would cinch him into that slot. Los Angeles Clippers Paul Pierce (1995-1998) Boston Celtics Nick Collison (1999-2003) Oklahoma City Thunder Chicago Bulls Kirk Hinrich (1999-2003) Chicago Bulls For the moment, that's exactly what Collins is focused on. "Right now, I'm not thinking about the NBA at all," Collins said. "I'm thinking about trying to win a title and trying to get some things done here. Of course it'll be there after the season and I'd like to play there. I'm real positive I will be playing there next year." Edited by Katie Blankenau BALANCE (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Collins will have to be unselfish while still making the big plays when the Jayhawks need them most. Fans have seen both sides of Collins. His most famous selfless play came in the National Championship game of 2008, when he dished a stumbling pass to teammate Mario Chalmers. The star from Chicago slid on the ground after the play and can't even be seen in the famous "Mario's Miracle" posters. But sometimes people forget the play that really brought the momentum in Kansas' favor in that fateful game. With 1:54 left, Collins stole an inbound pass, then drained a three from the corner just seconds later. It was Collins' singular ability to make a play that won Kansas that game. This is world-class balance of playmaking and selflessness if I've ever seen it, and Collins continues to maintain that equilibrium this season. At the end of regulation at the Kansas State game this season, Collins forced the issue and found himself turning the ball over after being double teamed. Yet when the Kansas State game was on the line in overtime, who took the game-winning shot? Collins, of course. Finding that balance isn't easy, but it is necessary for the success of Kansas basketball. There is only one person to look to when a player needs to get that balance back: Kansas coach Bill Self. "I don't want this to be so much about Sherron and senior night — and he wouldn't either — that we forget what we are trying to do," Self said. "And that's to beat a top-five team." Tonight is the first step across the tight rope at the end of the season. Each step ahead will require little adjustments in Collins' balance. And like a tightrope walker 50 feet in the air, the only option is to make it to the other side. — Edited by Megan Heacock COLLINS (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Kansas and Illinois. But after Late Night, I was sold. I was ready to commit immediately." But it wasn't an easy transition. Self told him to lose almost 30 pounds or he wouldn't play. Dealing with the death of his 10-month old baby, Sherron Jr., and the culture change from Chicago to Lawrence, Collins came into camp overweight. "I tried to be a great mentor for him," Robinson said. "We had some talent and everybody was so positive and that made him want to be a great team player." Surrounded by a cast of lighthearted and selfless upperclassmen — Russell Robinson, Brandon Rush and Julian Wright to name a few — Collins lost the weight and his mindset began to change. 11:08 KANSAS 4 Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO After a slow start, Collins elevated his game beyond most expectations. "He was bad at times his freshman year." Self said. "I mean bad. But by January and the middle of February, he was the best basketball player on our team." Coach Bill Self talks to senior guard Sherron Collins during a timeout of a game against Texas A&M on Feb. 15. A visit to Self's house four years ago changed Collins' perception about his life. Collins turned it around thanks to his coach and teammates. Collins said they gave him the tools for success and he used them. "I attribute all that to him having a positive attitude and being mentally tough through all the adversity he's been through," Robinson said. "Everything he's done was expected." Collins still had a rough time fitting into such a strange location. It's as if Lawrence moved too slow for him. "His freshman year, it was a shell-shock — the change from Chicago, a big city, to Lawrence, Kansas," junior guard Brady Morningstar said. such a peaceful house in a safe neighborhood. He preferred it to his Chicago lifestyle. That was the moment Self knew he had something special. It all changed with a visit to his coach's house. The first time Collins went to visit Self, he was stunned. Collins didn't recognize the feelings of "I think that all coaches have a soft spot in their heart for kids that do it against all odds," Self said. "He came into this situation really needing a place to change As he grew into a leader on the court, he also had to become more of one off the court. his thought process and to mold him to what he could potentially become and he embraced that." Collins had his second son Sherr'mari, who will be three in April, and daughter Sharee' Monea, who was born Feb. 15. The smile on his face whenever his kids are mentioned tells the story. "I think that's what woke me un" Collins said. Self and Collins had a talk about growing up when his son was born. Collins' mother gave him everything and his father gave him nothing. Those factors motivate Collins to be a selfless son and father. "It was hard on my mother and I think it's time for her to rest," Collins said. "And for my son, I just want to be there for him like my father wasn't there for me." Collins says he often talks to his father, who lives in Chicago. His father always tells him to be there for his son and not make the mistakes he did. And this spring Collins will be the first person from his family to graduate. He doesn't have to wake up every morning and worry about any violence. He loves how he escaped a dreadful lifestyle. He loves this city. He loves how this city loves him. "I realized everything was safe," Collins said. "Nice town. It's perfect." — Edited by Taylor Bern SPEECH (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "It's just the will," Steve said. "He wants to win and it doesn't matter if it's his first game or last game. He came back for a reason." sion the All-American has shown throughout his career. And that reason is to win another title. As the only graduating senior on the team, Collins will most likely have the floor all to himself after the game, depending on what junior center Cole Aldrich decides to do. Aldrich has been mum about his NBA decision, but he sees what his teammate is going through and he saw how it affected seniors from years past, he said. With the possibility of never playing in Allen Fieldhouse again, he said, this is a time worth cherishing. "It really hits home knowing it goes so quick," Aldrich said. "When you're a freshman, you don't always think about it. But when you're an upperclassman, you think, 'Hey, my time's almost up to run through the tunnel.'" In Aldrich's freshmanyear, there were five graduating seniors. One of them, current NBA D-League player Russell Robinson, said it Robinson knows what Collins is going through, he said. The amount of pressure for a last game, a last chance to make an impression, is very high. was his most memorable night at the Fieldhouse. But Robinson thinks there's one thing on Collins' mind right now, and it will probably be one of the toughest moments of his career — the senior speech. "That's the hardest part. You can't just get up there and say 'Hi' and 'Thank you', Robinson said. "I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll do." It's hard to gauge from Collins how he will approach this night. He said the speech would come straight from the top of his head because it was more meaningful that way. Wayne Simien spoke for more than 20 minutes during his speech in 2005, the longest in Kansas history. That might be a stretch, even for Collins. "I don't think I'll be up there for 30 minutes," Collins said. "But I have a lot to talk about." — Edited by Kirsten Hudson 4 OF NO.4'S BEST GAMES FRESHMAN YEAR KANSAS 80, MISSOURI 77 Jan.15,2007 KANSAN FILE PHOTO 4 "That's the Sherron that we recruited," Kansas coach Bill Self said after the game. "It takes time for guys to get comfortable, and this was a big game for him. Sherron was the man tonight." In his first Border War, Collins led Kansas past Missouri with a season-high 23 points, including seven points in the final 2:30 of the game. On a team with seven future professional players, Collins carried the Jayhawks by hitting 8-of-14 shots. It was his first true chance to shine in the spotlight. SOPHOMORE YEAR KANSAS 75, MEMPHIS 68 April 7,2008 KANSAS 4 KANSAN FILE PHOTO This one's pretty obvious. In the biggest game of Kansas' season, Collins contributed in two of the National Championship's biggest plays. With slightly less than two minutes remaining in regulation, Collins stole the inbounds pass from Memphis' Antonio Anderson and tossed it to Mario Chalmers. Seconds later, Collins buried a three-pointer from the wing, cutting Memphis' lead to 60-56. Then, in the final seconds, Collins rushed the ball up the court and left the ball for Chalmers, who, of course, hit the game-tying three-pointer. JUNIOR YEAR KANSAS 87,OKLAHOMA 78 Feb.23,2009 Collins routinely hit big shots - and big deep three-pointers in the final 20 minutes maintaining a lead for Kansas. In his junior season, Collins was often called on to carry Kansas offensively. But against Oklahoma, Collins simply took over down the stretch. He scored 22 of his 26 points in the second half, lifting Kansas into sole possession of first place in the Big 12. KANSAS 4 Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO SENIOR YEAR KANSAS 81, KANSAS STATE 79 Jan.30,2010 Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO 21 In one of the more gutsy performances of his career, Collins battled back spasms throughout the second half in Kansas State's raucous "Octagon of Doom." After limping off the floor in pain during overtime, Collins returned in the final seconds. He quickly drove toward the basket, hung in the air and scored a layup while being fouled. The play gave Kansas a 79-76 lead - a cushion that Kansas State couldn't overcome. Collins finished with 16 points. "He has a flair for the dramatic," Self said after the game.

It was a terrible game for Kansas from the start. The team's offense never got going and the Cowboys hung on for a 61-60 victory. SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com The Wave editor It looked as if the Jayhawks' hopes of winning the National Championship were fading fast. The loss dropped Kansas to 24-3 overall and 9-3 in Big 12 play after the team had won its first 20 games of the season. The Jayhawks were having another really good year, but it looked as if they could be heading for a disappointing finish in the NCAA Tournament. Just four days ago, the Cowboys upset No.1 Kansas again, this time by a score of 85-77. Although this year's team is not in a mid-season funk like the 2008 squad, it does present an opportunity for the Jayhawks to regroup just like the team did two years ago. But it turned out that the loss at Oklahoma State might just have been the most important regular season game for the 2008 team. The players met up for a meeting with no coaches the next day and the rest is history. After the meeting, Kansas won its next 13 games and the National Championship and finished 37-3 for the season. As the Jayhawks prepare for the most important stretch of their season, Saturday's loss provides the team with even more motivation to take care of business tonight and get on a roll as it heads into postseason play. Coach Self will have no shortage of topics to discuss in the film room and the players can learn from their mistakes to be ready for the Big Dance. The NCAA Tournament is very unpredictable, but one thing is certain: The team that wins it all has to be playing well at the right time. During some games this season, Kansas has looked like the best team in the country. At other times, like Saturday's game, the Jayhawks have looked very vulnerable. No matter how you look at it, Kansas will have to get on a roll to win the National Championship. It's probably not time for a players-only meeting or even a special speech from Coach Self. Hopefully Saturday's game was just a bump in the road on the way to a 15-1 record in Big 12 play. With two tough regular season games remaining, at home against Kansas State tonight and on the road against Missouri, the team will no doubt be fired up and ready to play. The 2008 team realized that it had to get better and make a change if it was going to reach its goals. The players knew they had a great team, but they were not satisfied with having a really good season. I think this year's team will learn the same lesson With the senior leadership of Sherron Collins, the Jayhawks should be able to figure out what it will take to finish as the best team in the country. It's not so much about which team is ranked No. 1 for most of the season as which team gets hot at the right time. This year's team is good enough to beat anyone, but the players must realize that they have to peak during the NCAA Tournament. The 2008 team did, and I think this year's team will do the same. It sounds strange, but maybe a loss at Oklahoma State could end up being one of the best things to happen to the Jayhawks this season.

Here's what he had to say about life on and off the court. By Clark Goble cgoble@kansan.com The Wave spoke with junior guard Tyrel Reed on Thursday afternoon. Here's what he had to say about golf, his exercise science degree and woodworking. CG: I saw your nickname in the media guide was T-Squeeze. Where does that come from? TR: Really nothing, I didn't have a nickname when I got here my freshman year, so Darrell Arthur gave me the nickname. CG: I also saw you had a hole-in-one this summer. What club did you hit? TR: 171 yards, seven iron. Little downhill, out in Colorado. CG: Right in? Two hops? CG: What was the bigger thrill: the hole-in-one or winning at Kansas State? TR: It took one bounce and rolled in. TR:Winning at K-State.I'd rather have basketball thrills because I can have golf thrills the rest of my life. CG: Are you finishing up your degree this year? TR:I'm finishing up my classes this year.I'll be done with classes.I just have to do an internship and then basically graduate and have a semester where I just play basketball. CG: Are you looking forward to that? TR: For sure, for sure. Just relax and focus on basketball and enjoy being in college. CG: Is it pretty tough balancing practice and school? TR: My major's pretty demanding. I'm taking an exercise biochemistry class and just some crazy ones that I never thought I'd be taken in my life. I just try to get through them as best as I can and focus on basketball as well. CG: What's your favorite three-point shot to take? TR: I like the corner threes. Anytime with the buzzer is always good. Used to love the top of the key but since I got to college, the corner's kind of been my spot. CG: Do you have a favorite shot from your career? TR: Not really. I've made a few big ones; nothing that big. I enjoy the buzzer or just a crucial time in the game. CG: I saw you put woodworking as one of your hobbies on your media page. What kind of things do you make? TR: In high school, I carved a Jayhawk with my hands. I've made a bunch of coffee tables. I made a bar for my house, made an entertainment center in my house. CG: Do you like having your sister (Lacie Reed, a basketball manager) with the program? TR: She's right there. She's all right. I love having my sister here. It's really been a blessing. A lot of college kids don't get to see their siblings that much and I get to see her every day. It hasn't been awkward or anything. The guys have been great about it.

West Virginia has been inconsistent this season, but the Mountaineers will be ready to play at Villanova. Both teams are fighting for the No.2 seed in the Big East Tournament, and West Virginia would like nothing more than to spoil Villanova senior point guard Scottie Reynolds' final game at home.

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.

Gonzaga WEST SOUTH 1. Duke 1. Kentucky 2. Kansas State 2. West Virginia 3. Villanova 3. New Mexico 4. Vanderbilt 4.

Feb. 3, 2007 Collins scored 18 points to lead Kansas against Texas A&M, but was outgunned by Acie Law, who scored 23 – including the game-winning three-pointer with 20 seconds left. To date, it's Collins' only loss in Allen Fieldhouse. CAMDEN March 11,2007 Foreshadowing big game performances to come, Collins led the Jayhawks in scoring as they won their second straight Big 12 Tournament title. Sparked by Collins' 20 points, Kansas battled past Kevin Durant and Texas with an 88-84 victory in overtime. Nov. 11, 2007 In an early season match-up against UMKC, Collins sprained his left ankle. He later had surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left foot and he missed six games in the non-conference schedule. KANSAS 4 April 7,2008 Everyone remembers Mario's shot. But without Collins, Kansas may have been denied the school's third National Championship. Down seven points, Collins swiped the inbound pass, and buried a clutch three-pointer from the corner. After Derek Rose made one of two free throws to put Memphis up three, Collins dribbled furiously up the floor before handing the ball off to Chalmers. You know the rest.

JUNIOR YEAR SENIOR YEAR THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE MARCH 3,2010 10 FEATURE WHO'S GOT NEXT? Sherron Collins has filled the role of brilliant-point-guard-from-Kansas admirably, following in the footsteps of Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson, Aaron Miles and Kirk Hinrich and, well, the list goes on. Now, The Wave looks at who's next up to run the show for the Jayhawks. Tyshawn Taylor Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 180 pounds Year: Sophomore 10 Kansas has often played a two point guard system in recent years, even going back to the start of the decade, when Hinrich and Miles started alongside each other. This has been the case for most of this year, with Taylor, a natural point guard, playing alongside Collins. In Short: Taylor will likely fill the same role next season, but thanks in part to his incredible quickness, he could become the Jayhawks' primary ball handler in 2010-2011. Taylor has been an enigma at times for Kansas, but has also flashed brilliant potential. What they say: "Tyshawn is a guy who makes plays you can't coach. He's a difference maker from a speed standpoint and that kind of stuff. I think we've got to get more out of Tyshawn moving forward for us to have a chance to do what we want to do." - Coach Bill Self "That's what Tyshawn is, is speedy and crafty and he can get in the lane and hit all those off-balance shots. Then Coach always gets mad, and then it goes in and he claps." - Sherron Collins Elijah Johnson Height: 6-foot-2 Weight: 183 pounds Year: Freshman KANSAS 15 In Short: Johnson is the best athlete on this list. Check that. He's the best athlete on the team. The high-flying freshman from Las Vegas has become a fan favorite with thunderous dunks. The most notable instance occurred against Texas Tech, when he elevated past his man for a ferocious slam. Johnson would have received legitimate minutes on most teams this year, but with Kansas' depth at guard, he only started twice. In his first career start, Johnson played just 15 minutes and had 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, three rebounds, an assist, a steal and no turnovers. What they say: Eujan could be the Cole of 2008. Bide his time, bide his time - Thomas could be also - and then when they get an opportunity, make the most of it." - Self on Johnson and Thomas Robinson. "Elijah can really handle the ball. Hes so athletic. He reminds me of Mario a little bit, but also has a little street ball swagger to him." - Cole Aldrich, drawing comparisons between Johnson and Mario Chalmers C.J. Henry Height: 6-foot-4 Weight: 205 pounds Year: Redshirt freshman KANSAS 13 In Short: If Henry can stay healthy, he has shown phenomenal athleticism and played mistake-free basketball in limited action. He's also a lethal marksmans from outside, hitting on 55 percent of his three-pointers this year. Henry was originally a Kansas recruit in 2005, but signed a contract with the New York Yankees after being selected in the first round of the draft. Since then, he's spent four injury-plagued years in the minors, sat out with injuries for one year at Memphis, then transferred to Kansas to play alongside his brother, Xavier. "Xavier, deservedly so, gets a lot of credit. And the reason C.J. hasn't gotten the credit is because he's kind of been out of sight the last several years. But out of sight doesn't mean that he can't play. I really believe we're going to be pleasantly surprised with the impact he'll have on our program." What they say: - Bill Self "People will see when they come watch us play. They won't be like 'Oh, he's my brother.' They'll say, "That's C.J." -Xavier Henry Player to be named later Height: Unknown Weight: Unknown Year: High school senior T In short: Despite having just one verbal commitment for next season, the Jayhawks are in contention for several other highly-touted players, including the top two point guard prospects in the class of 2010. Brandon Knight, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound guard, is the No.1 overall prospect and has a reputation as an exceptional basketball mind. The Jayhawks are in Knight's final three, along with Connecticut and Kentucky. Kansas is also after Josh Selby, a 6-2, 183-pound guard, who is the No.4 recruit in the country. Selby's final four schools are Kansas, Kentucky, Connecticut and Arizona. Tim Dwyer THE WAVE MARCH 3,2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN + FEATURE 11 The spark off the bench Sherron Collins served in a backup role to help Kansas win the 2008 National Championship By Jayson Jenks jjenks@kansan.com Back then - back when Sherron Collins was still a diminutive sophomore spark off Kansas' bench - he delivered the biggest performance in the biggest game of his career. At least to this point. During his 142 games so far at Kansas, Collins has accounted for plenty of noteworthy moments in important victories. But his performance in the 2008 National Championship against Memphis sits atop the list simply because of the game's magnitude. With slightly less than two minutes remaining in regulation, Collins stole the inbounds pass and tossed it to Mario Chalmers. Seconds later, Collins buried a three-pointer from the wing to cut Memphis' lead to 60-56. Then, as the final seconds disappeared off the clock in regulation, Collins rushed the ball up the court before leaving it for Chalmers, who buried what coach Bill Self described as "the biggest shot in Kansas history." Collins scored 11 points against Memphis, but more than any statistical benefit. Collins contributed in two of the night's game-changing plays. In his four years at Kansas, Collins' ability to make such plays has developed into the expected. "He stepped his game up and hit a big shot and was a huge part for us in that championship year," former Kansas guard Russell Robinson said. "He just did his part and look, he's one of the best players in the country now." While Collins'in involvement in "Mario's Miracle" stirs the most emotional response, his steal and subsequent three-pointer are equally - if not more - important in the game's fabric. Without the steal and save to Chalmers - and without Collins' high-arcing three from the corner - there is no last-second shot from Chalmers. "I just wanted to come out and do what we needed to do," Collins said after the game. "I did what Coach told me to do." Chalmers described Collins' role on the final play from a slightly different perspective. "Sherron kind of fumbled the ball," Chalmers said after the game. Still, there's little doubt that Kansas wouldn't have forced overtime without Collins' late-game contributions. Now, as he prepares for the stretch run of his senior season, Collins' role in the NCAA Tournament could be vastly different from that of the 2008 National Championship game. Then again, the same principle of simply making a play still sticks with Collins today. KANSAS 4 0 "His role is to be the guy to make plays." Self said. "The difference would be this year he'll be on the shooting end of it as opposed to passing if we're ever in that situation." Sherron Collins drives into the lane against a Memphis defender in the 2008 National Championship game. Collins made the pass to Mario Chalmers to set up the game--twinge-three-pointer. KANSAN FILE PHOTO THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE MARCH 3,2010 + 12 GAME DAY AT A GLANCE It was a good one in Manhattan when these two teams battled, and the Jayhawks came away with an epic 81-79 victory. This is a massive game for Big 12 supremacy. Kansas (27-2, 13-1) has a two game lead in the Big 12 and the only ones capable of grabbing a share of the regular season title is 24-4, 11-3 Kansas State. It is senior night, and Sherron Collins is only one senior, but he's an important one. No matter what happens during the game, it will be a night worth remembering for Collins and the fans. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior guard Sherron Collins his final game in Allen Fieldhouse and the emotions are going to be high. He has been counting down the days since last month and the day has finally arrived. Coming off a game he started PETER MAYER Collins 0-6 and lost in the process, Collins is going to want to bounce back in a huge way. This Kansas State team is the best the Jayhawks have faced all year and he will want to bury them. Scoring 30-plus should do the trick. QUESTION MARK Can the Jayhawks keep one from becoming two? That was the theme in the locker room after the loss to Oklahoma State: How do the Jayhawks prevent another slip-up? For one, they have a home game in an arena in which they have a SB-game win-streak. Second, the game is against K-State and the home crowd is going to be intense. The Wildcats are one of the top five teams in the nation, so they aren't pushovers by any means. Still, there are a bunch of signs pointing to the Jayhawks having a solid game. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "I will have my team ready to play. We'll be in the right mindset." After losing to Oklahoma State, Sherron Collins was determined to come out with a better performance against Kansas State. Kansas 27-2(13-1) Sherron Collins, guard This is it: the last hurrah. Championships aside, this final game in Allen Fieldhouse will be the most emotional of Collins' career. Everyone remembers last time the Jayhawks played Kansas State and he hit the essential game-winner in overtime. Collins only had 16 points that game, but chances are he will try for something astronomical in front of his home fans this time. TAYLOR ROBINSON Collins Tyshawn Taylor, guard Here's a guy who needs to forget about Oklahoma State. Eight points in 23 minutes is not going to cut it. Nobody could get anything going on offense and Taylor has the ability to change the game around with his speed and penetration. If he did get PETER A. KIPKENBERG Taylor close in Saturday's game, it was a missed lay-up. Xavier Henry, guard Aside from Collins, he probably had the best game for the Jayhawks at Oklahoma State with 17 points. He was a little somber after the game, but the freshman has not experienced the taste of defeat other than at Tennessee this season. On the positive side, Henry is on his sixth consecutive PETER WALKER solid outing, hoping to make tonight number seven. Henry Marcus Morris, forward Morris was a complete nonfactor against the Cowboys, spending much of the game in foul trouble and eventually fouling out. He would have been more effective had he made more than four of his nine free throws, contributing to 10 points. The five turnovers just added to the disaster. Mike Jackson Morris Cole Aldrich, center Aldrich was pressured immensely by Oklahoma State. He had a distinct size advantage against the smaller opponents, but only played eight minutes in the second half. He wasn't in foul trouble and he wasn't exactly playing poorly, but Self didn't have a clear reason for why the big man sat on the bench for so D. KENNEDY Aldrich long. Maybe he's just resting Aldrich for Kansas State. Sixth man — Brady Morningstar Nobody took Saturday's defeat harder than Morningstar. He was not a man of many words, but one could assume why. If you watched the game, you did almost as much, seeing that he didn't have a point or a rebound in 16 minutes of actio M. J.

He's still liable to go off for a big night at any time though, as evidenced by his 28 points Pullen TIMOTHY MCKAY on 9-of-14 shooting at Texas Tech last Tuesday. Clemente, in contrast to Pullen has been on fire lately. He's scored 21 or more in four of his last seven, including a 30-point performance in the Wildcats defeat of Iowa State.

AT A GLANCE Since losing to the Jayhawks in overtime, the Wildcats have done nothing but win, ripping off eight straight victories and climbing to No. 5 in both polls. They are similar to Oklahoma State in that they have a pair of guards in Pullen and Clemente (a la James Anderson and Obi Muoneo) who can be devastating if they get hot. If that pair goes off, Kansas could be staring straight down the barrel of its second consecutive loss. The Wildcats front-court, though, is outmatched. Cole Aldrich and Marcus Morris both had double-doubles last time the teams met, despite early foul trouble. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior guard Denis Clemente Last time around Pullen got the nod as the player to watch for Kansas State, but it's probably best to just keep an eye on both of them. Clemente is often knocked for his fiery demeanor, which can sometimes get the better of him, but he's a dangerous scorer. Since being held to just five points by Texas, Clemente has been a monster offensively for the Wildcats, averaging 18.5 points per game. Clemente ALEXANDRA MAYORAL QUESTION MARK Can Kansas State's big men keep the Kansas frontcourt in check? Last time around, Kansas' main big men, Marcus Morris and Cole Aldrich, dominated the Wildcats' front court, both posting double-doubles despite being limited by foul trouble. Samuels, Kelly and freshman Wally Judge need to do a better job containing the Kansas bigs if they want any shot at winning.

Anderson was an unstoppable force despite playing through back spasms that started the day before the game at a Cowboys practice. He led all scorers with 27 points. The Cowboys staked themselves a 16-point halftime lead, and only briefly let the Jayhawks within double-figures. Oklahoma State controlled every facet of the game, outrebounding the Jayhawks 36-26 despite not having a player taller than 6-foot-8 for the entire game. Of course, it's difficult for anyone to pull down rebounds when the opponent isn't missing. Anderson & Co. shot 60,4 percent from the floor, the highest percentage the Jayhawks have allowed in just shy of two decades. Forwards Matt Pilgrim and Marshall Moses, the only true post players in the Oklahoma State rotation, combined to shoot 12-of-12 for 26 points and 13 rebounds. N "Obviously we weren't good offensively today by any means. We couldn't make a basket when they got their lead," coach Bill Self said. "So in those times, that's when you've got to guard. And obviously our toughness level defensively today was very, very poor and that can happen in the tournament in a one-and-done deal."

He shot 9-of-19 from the field, including 4-of-6 from long range, for 27 points to go along with eight rebounds. It was a completely dominant performance, and likely locked up the Big 12 Player of the Year award for Anderson. Pilgrim has been brilliant at times for Oklahoma State, but has never been very consistent. Last week, he missed the Cowboys' 69-59 loss at Texas, then rebounded to have a monster game in their upset of Kansas, who had been unbeaten in conference play. Pilgrim hit 8-of-8 shots and both free throws against a usually dominant defensive frontcourt. He finished with 18 points and six rebounds. Big 12 Newcomer of the Week Matt Pilgrim, Oklahoma State F OKLAHOMA STATE WELCOME TO HIS Big 12 Team of the Week Oklahoma State The Cowboys needed to win just one of a brutal stretch of three games — at Texas, against Kansas at home, and at Texas A&M — to essentially lock themselves in as an NCAA Tournament team. After falling at Texas on Wednesday, they pulled off the upset of top-ranked Kansas in their next game, all but clinching what should be a seventh berth in the NCAA Tournament for the Big 12 Conference. Quick Hitters - If Kansas loses out and Kansas State wins out, the two teams would tie at 13-3 in conference with losses to Missouri, Oklahoma State and each other. - Texas guard JCovan Brown was injured in the Longhorns' loss to Texas A&M. Brown is the third Texas point guard to suffer an injury this year, and is listed as day-to-day. - With Kansas' 13-game win streak broken, the longest streak in the Big 12 is Kansas State's seven-gamer. Next is Baylor, which has won two straight games. - Texas continued its slide, splitting games against Oklahoma State and Texas A&M and falling out of the rankings for the first time this year. - Oklahoma State's victory on Saturday stopped the Jayhawks' bid to be the second team to go undefeated in Big 12 history. THE WAVE MARCH 3,2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN + BIG1217 Words from the Big 12 Writers from around the conference weigh in on their teams KANSAS STATE WILDCATS Wildcats win tough one against Tigers METAFE 15 ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas State forward Luis Colon, left, and Missouri guard Miguel Paul, right, reach for the ball during the first half of their game last Saturday in Manhattan. The Wildcats won 63-53. By Ashley Dunkak K-State Collegian — Monday, March 1 MANHATTAN — In front of a packed crowd at Bramlage Coliseum, No. 6 K-State overcame 18.8-percent shooting in the first half and pulled out a gritty 63-53 win over Missouri. Missouri coach Mike Anderson attributed the difference between this meeting of the teams and the previous one to free throws and taking care of the ball. He also mentioned the Tigers were missing several key players, but said it was not any excuse. "You can play defense until you're blue in the face," Anderson said. "But you've got to be able to score." The game began fast, furious and physical — and a little on the wild side. The Wildcats got off to a quick 4-0 run to start, but the Tigers quickly amassed an 11-1 streak of their own, thanks to their omnipresent backcourt pressure, which aided in several steals and appeared to disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Wildcats early. Missouri sophomore guard Kim English, who would finish with 13 points, was responsible for seven of those early 11 points for the Tigers. For the majority of the half, the Wildcats struggled to score; initially, their only offense came from forays into the paint and resulting free throws. They struggled there as well, unable to get consistent penetration and even getting called for an offensive goalend. They seemed to have lost faith in the mid-range jumper and largely went for three-pointers or layups. Around the 10-minute mark in the first half, K-State began to improve. The team had some good defensive possessions, and while it did not convert on those as it could have offensively, K-State slowly clawed its way back. "They're a very good defensive team," said Missouri senior guard J.T. Tiller." They stay up in your grill and play defense just like we do." GIRLBUCKLE ISSOURTIGERS Missouri fails to maintain its early lead By John Marshall Associated Press Saturday, Feb. 27 MANHATTAN — The Wildcats watched the first half of top-ranked Kansas' loss to Oklahoma State and knew they had an opportunity. Instead of grabbing it, they missed one shot after another against Missouri's pressure defense, putting together their worst shooting half in 14 years (18 percent). But the Wildcats didn't slump their shoulders, didn't let Missouri run away with it. Relying on defense, Kansas State broke out of its funk — at least partly — and took control with a 15-2 run early in the second half.The plucky team held on down the stretch to keep alive its slim hopes of tying rival Kansas for the Big 12 regular season title. The Wildcats have their most wins since 1987-88 and can take another step Wednesday in Lawrence, where Allen Fieldhouse is sure to be rockin' for what could be the biggest game in the history of one of college basketball's most heated rivalries. "Our team understands this could be our big push for the Big 12 championship," said Kansas State's Jacob Pullen, who had 11 points. "We get to go to KU and we have our destiny in our hands." Missouri won the first meeting between the cross-state rivals on Jan. 9 with gritty defense and had Kansas State on its heels early in the rematch. The Tigers just couldn't sustain it and struggled to make shots against the Wildcats' relentless pressure without forward Justin Safford, who tore his ACL against Colorado on Wednesday. Kim English had 13 points and J.T. Tiller added 11 for Missouri, which was 4 for 18 from 3-point range and shot 31 percent overall to lose its sixth straight in the Little Apple. "We just played unaggressive," said Missouri's Keith Ramsey, who had 10 points and Kansas State wasn't a whole lot better. The Wildcats shot 4 of 17 from three-point range and 33 percent overall, getting 10 points and 10 rebounds from Curtis Kelly and a 14-point effort from Jamar Samuels. It was ugly from the start. eight rebounds. "We stopped attacking and we weren't playing with each other like we normally do." Missouri typically causes problems with its full-court pressure, forcing opponents to speed up and play out of control in what it calls "The Fastest 40 Minutes in Basketball." An underrated part of the Tigers' defense is in halfcourt sets. They're quite good there, too, as Kansas State found out. "They're trying to win something," Missouri coach Mike Anderson said. "They're in the hunt for something, just like we are. I thought it was just a basketball game between two good defensive teams that are familiar with one another."

The win was Oklahoma State's first against a No. 1 team in more than 20 years. GTM SPORTSWEAR SUNFLOWER SHOWDOWN T-SHIRT $14.99 Sunflower SHOWDOWN 1008 W. 23rd Street, Lawrence • 785-838-4440 • gtmkugear.com Monday-Saturday 9am-7pm • Sunday 12pm-5pm ADIW0310 By Jeff Latzke Associated Press Saturday, Feb. 27 STILLWATER, Okla. — Students rushed onto the floor, jumping up and down and hoisting Keiton Page as they celebrated a historic win for Oklahoma State. The bottom line for the Cowboys: "We're a tournament team now,"forward Obi Muonelo said. James Anderson scored 27 points, Page was perfect on four three-point tries at crucial times and Oklahoma State denied a bid by No.1 Kansas to go undefeated through Big 12 play with an 85-77 victory on Saturday. The Cowboys moved to 3-1 against topranked teams all time at home and likely removed any doubt of whether they would make the NCAA tournament for a second straight season. Despite entering the game in seventh place in the Big 12, Oklahoma State had an RPI of 33. It was the Cowboys' first win against a No. 1 team since beating Oklahoma on Feb. 4, 1989, and the landmark victory came in the same season the program got its first road Teammate Fred Gulley headed toward the safety of the scorer's table as fans spilled out of the student sections along both baselines. But Page was right in the middle of it all. The last time the top two teams lost on the same day was Jan. 21, 2006, when No.1 Duke lost to Georgetown and No.2 Florida lost to Tennessee.Both of those teams were 17-0 at the time. win over a top 10 team in 52 years. "That was a great feeling," Page said. "I was claustrophobic. I was getting hot, so when they picked me up, I got a little breather. I was pretty excited when they did that. I thought I was going to pass out there for a little while." The Jayhawks had won their last 13 games since losing at Tennessee to close nonconference play and suffered their second loss of the season just hours after No.2 Kentucky also lost to the Volunteers. Sherron Collins had 22 points to lead Kansas — moving past Kirk Hinrich, Dave Robisch and Paul Pierce into seventh place on the school's career scoring list — but he also matched his season-high with six turnovers. TEXAS LONGHORNS Aggies serve Longhorns a decisive defeat, 74-58 By Laken Litman Daily Texan — Monday, March 1 COLLEGE STATION, Texas — With about two minutes until tipoff, Texas forward Damion James walked over to Texas A&M's student section and ripped up a "Beat TU" sign. He was relishing in the Aggies' rowdy atmosphere, smiling and hooking his horns while warming up with a confident swagger. Two hours later with just more than two minutes remaining in the game, the Long-horns were down 74-58 while James got his fifth personal foul. A record crowd of 13,717 at Reed Arena chanted, "Left-right-left-right," as they watched James walk to the Texas bench. Then, as he was about to take a seat, the fans yelled "Sit down" in unison. James' face had said it all. Texas' all-time leading rebounder scored just 12 points and got only one rebound in Texas' 74-58 loss. When Texas beat Texas A&M in the beginning of January, James scored 26 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the 72-67 overtime win. "I'm disappointed. I'm embarrassed," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "It's hard because it's my team. There is nobody to blame but me. I should say it's our team, but I'm in charge of it. It's probably, for whatever reason, as poor a coaching job as I've ever done. I haven't gotten the message across consistently." Texas A&M came out flying from the first whistle, and Texas was never able to take the lead. The Longhorns showed a glimmer of hope early in the second half as they narrowed the Aggies' lead to five points. But A&M, who out-rebounded Texas 40 to 29, made crucial offensive boards that set the tone for the rest of the game. "We're better than what we're playing," Barnes said. "I told them after the game, I just want to see them prove they have some fight in them." THE WAVE MARCH 3,2010 + THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN + BIG 12 19 OKLAHOMA SOONERS Oklahoma suffers its sixth straight loss OKLAH BAYLOR 24 ASSOCIATED PRESS Baylor guard LaceDarius Dunn drives around Oklahoma guard Tony Crocker in the first half of their game last Saturday in Norman, Okla. The Sooners lost their sixth straight game, 70-63. By Aaron Colen Oklahoma Daily — Saturday, Feb. 27 NORMAN, Okla. — The Sooners lost their sixth straight game Saturday by a score of 70-63 to the No. 24 Baylor Bears in Norman. For Baylor, it was the first time the Bears defeated Oklahoma in Norman since 1977. "That's a long time." Baylor guard Lace-Darius Dunn said. "It was a long journey but we came out and played Baylor basketball." The Sooners got off to a quick start, opening up a ten-point lead at one point in the first half. However, soon after Oklahoma got that lead, Baylor went on an 8-0 run to draw within two points. "I thought we did a good job of attacking the zone early, but later on we just didn't play smart," coach Jeff Capel said. The Bears gained their first lead with fewer than five minutes to go in the first half, and went to the locker room leading the Sooners 36-35. Oklahoma was led in scoring by freshman forward Tiny Gallon, who scored 17 points in the first half and finished the game with 23 points and 15 rebounds. Gallon's performance against Baylor was what Capel said he has been looking for out of the freshman big man all season. "Not necessarily 23 and 15, but just being a presence down low and on the boards for us." Capel said. Baylor forward Ekpe Udoh gave Gallon credit for his strength down low. "I don't know how much [Gallon] weighs, but he's strong," Baylor forward Ekpe Udoh said. Dunn teased his teammate about his size after the game. "I'm going to make sure Ekpe gets in the weight room when we get back." Dunn said. The two teams traded baskets for most of the second half, with neither one able to establish a significant run. Dunn scored 16 points for Baylor in the first half, but was relatively quiet in the second scoring only five points when senior forward Tony Crocker was guarding him. "They did a great job of keying on me in the second half," Dunn said. "They put one of their best defenders on me so I give credit to them." ATM TEXAS A&M AGGIES Aggies knock off rival Longhorns, 74-58 Y ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas A&M head coach Mark Turgeon reacts to a play during the second half of the A&M-Texas game last Saturday. The Aggies won 74-58. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN By Beau Holder The Battallion — Monday, March 1 COLLEGE STATION, Texas After a loss to Baylor in which they fell behind by 13 in the second half, Texas A&M came out Saturday hoping to avoid a similar deficit against the rival Texas Longhorns. No. 22 A&M surged to a multiple-possession advantage on the strength of senior guard Donald Sloan's three-point shot and the stellar play of freshman forward Ray Turner and didn't bother to look back, cruising to a 74-58 shelling of archival Texas. The win came in front of a crowd of 13,717,the largest ever to attend a game at Reed Arena. It was the third attendance record set during the 2009-10 season. "I think the fans have fallen in love with the way we play," coach Mark Turgeon said. He added that the coaching staff has worked hard to draw the fans to the team and indicated it seems to be paying dividends. Though both teams started sloppily, the ice finally broke when Sloan's three-pointer went through with 11:20 elapsed in the first half; the lead grew to 16-9, and the Aggies were off and running. The No. 21 Longhorns never led and never got within fewer than five points again. Sloan, who came in averaging 18.1 points Turner's nine points included a stretch of six straight for A&M beginning with 10:24 left in the first half that swung momentum and turned a 7-7 tie into a 13-7 lead. per game, scored 19 for the Aggies. Sophomore forward David Loubeau finished with 15 points and seven rebounds.

On Saturday evening, though, the senior helped atone for his up-and-down play by getting hot when his team needed him most. Henry put up a career-high 21 points, including seven straight in double overtime, to lead Nebraska to an improbable 83-79 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday evening at the Bob Devaney Center. "I was just trying to be aggressive," Henry said."I know I've been struggling. The last few times Ive been really, really low, and I haven't really produced anything but defense." Henry came into the day averaging just four points per game in February and only had one other double-digit scoring performance in Big 12 Conference play. But against the Red Raiders, Henry rediscovered his stroke late in the game and took a season-high 11 shots. "I just tried to help and hit big shots," he said. "I did whatever I had to do to help this team win." The Huskers overcame a 14-point deficit their largest comeback since coach Doc Sadler took over — and snapped a monthlong losing streak. "If anything, it's just a relief," Sadler said. "These guys have played so hard, practice so hard, and they've deserved better than they've gotten. They've stayed the course and it would've been easy not to." On Saturday, staying the course for Nebraska meant sticking to its offensive game plan and cleaning things up after a generally sloppy first half that featured 10 Husker turnovers. IOWA STATE CYCLONES Late free throw shots put Buffaloes over Cyclones Associated Press Sunday, Feb.28 BOULDER, Colo. — With Colorado trailing and in a rut, guard Cory Higgins knew something had to change. Higgins scored a season-high 33 points, 21 in the second half, to lead Colorado over Iowa State 75-72 in a battle between Big 12 also-rans Saturday. Marquis Gilstrap scored 26 points for the Cyclones, who have lost 10 of their last 12 games. Higgins was nearly perfect on the day, hitting 12-of-15 shots and all six of his free throws. "We were starting to get a little stagnant on offense." Higgins said. "I wasn't just trying to score, I was trying to attack and maybe open things up for other people. We needed to be more aggressive." The rest of the team got the message. Casey Crawford scored all 10 of his points in the second half, including two 3-pointers and a putback layup to extend Colorado's lead to 65-61 with 2:28 left. "He was the difference in the game," Iowa State coach Greg McDermott said of Crawford. "You're trying to provide help on some of their back cuts and trying to make it difficult for [Alec] Burks and Higgins as much as you can. You have to give up something and Casey Crawford really made us pay." Gilstrap kept the Cyclones close with a pair of buckets, and Justin Hamilton's three-point play with 54 seconds left cut their deficit 71-70. But Colorado hit six free throws in the final 1:16 to seal the win. Gilstrap led Iowa State with 12 first-half points, and Higgins and Marcus Relphorde had 12 each for Colorado. For the game, Colorado hit all 12 of its free throws while Iowa State was 12-of-21 from the line. "In the first half free throws were a real big part of it. They made their free throws and we didn't," Gilstrap said. Clinical trials are supervised by doctors; a safe, comfortable way to earn $1,675 for your help.

The victory clinched a share of the Big 12 title and marked the Jayhawks' 6th straight title. Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO 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. After a difficult loss to Oklahoma State down in Stillwater the Kansas men's basketball team suffered a slight setback on their road to 2,000 victories. With two regular season games left and then the Big XII and NCAA Tournament the Jayhawks need to win three more games to reach the mark. Former Jayhawks reflected on the tradition of excellence that Kansas basketball has become. Bud Stallworth played for Kansas from 1968 to 1972 and then played in the NBA for five years. "Having been around the program since 1968, and now we are in another millennium I see the numbers keep going forward," Stallworth said. "I don't know whether a lot of people understand how much tradition is involved in the University of Kansas basketball." With five national championships, 53 conference championships and 1997 victories,the program certainly looks distinguished by the numbers. "Even though we haven't gotten where we wanted to go, we have won championships." Stallworth said. "The number of great players that have come through here and gone on to play and accomplish great things, there are always guys coming next." But there is a different kind of tradition that does not appear in the record books and that is the family atmosphere that brings retired players back to Lawrence to live and work. "I have a great relationship with a lot of guys that played with other programs and played professionally and I talk about well, do you all have reunions, do you all stay in touch not just with players during your era, but players that played years before or years after you," Stallworth said. "If you played basketball at the University of Kansas and you go to one of those reunions, there is a bond there that won't go away." Stallworth is now a co-host for "Rock Chalk Sports Talk" on 1320 KLWN along with Scot Pollard, Wayne Simien, David Lawrence and host Brian Hanni. "I love the tradition of the University of Kansas; I love that I am a part of that history," Pollard said. Pollard played for Kansas from 1993- 1997 and then went on to play in the NBA for 11 years with different teams. He said he still keeps in touch with former teammates like Jacque Vaughn and Greg Gurley; he also played with former teammate Paul Pierce when he played for the Boston Celtics. "As far as players, when we see each other it is always like old times," Pollard said. "We get along well. We have good times and good stories to tell." Gurley and Pollard gather their families and take trips to the lake, this past weekend just Pollard and Gurley went on a trip together. Gurley went to high school at Shawnee Mission South just more than 35 miles away. Gurley played for Kansas from 1991- 1995. From there he grew up with the traditions of Kansas. "To be a part of that is huge, and to be a part of Kansas basketball, especially being from Kansas City and knowing a little more about the tradition than some of the other guys, it is even more special," Gurtey said.

Collins played his last game in Allen Fieldhouse, finishing with 17 points and four assists. He ended his career in the Phog to mark his 125th victory, making him the winningest four-year player in Kansas basketball history. Coaches, teammates and fans celebrate Collins' four years BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com "Tonight's about number four" Bill Self couldn't have said it any better. Collins strolled through the tunnel into a sweltering Allen Fieldhouse for the last time Wednesday night. He received a two-minute standing ovation as the decibel meter hit 106.9 right before tip off. The decibel level stayed high for the rest of the night. Many of the 16,300 fans lifted four fingers to the sky or hoisted signs that expressed love and gratitude for Collins' time at Kansas. "Ain't no seats" was lifted proudly for possibly the last time. It was Collins' night, but it wasn't about the 17 points in 38 minutes that he put up. He has had much better nights. It's about the 1,774 points in 3,883 minutes that Collins put up in his career at Kansas. It's about the 125 victories that he has helped Kansas achieve. There is an unwritten expectation at Kansas. In March, you win the Big 12 Conference. In April, you go to the Final Four. In May, you walk down the hill. Sure, athletes sometimes leave early, and most fans don't blame them. But Collins opted to forgo an immediate future in the NBA multiple times to help solidify his legend at Kansas. Collins stepped off the Naismith Court for the last time with 30.4 seconds to be greeted by bear hugs from his teammates. He looked more nervous than he had ever seemed in Allen Fieldhouse, tugging at his shirt and staring at the ground while delivering his senior night speech. Beads of sweat turned to tears of joy. Collins predicted a waterfall of tears by the end of the night, and sure enough tears cascaded down his face, especially as he thanked his family. He wasn't the only one. All through the crowd fans were rubbing tears off their faces and wiping their noses. Collins finished his speech by thanking the fans for a wonderful four years. Well, thank you, Sherron, for four fantastic years. — Edited by Katie Blankenau WANT MORE COVERAGE FROM SENIOR NIGHT? as WHAT ARE STUDENTS SAYING ABOUT COLLINS? PAGE 6A 图21-10 KANSAS VS.

The campaign, Spread the Word to End the Word, is in its second year. Advocates say the campaign seeks to raise awareness that the "r-word" is frequently used casually by people who don't realize how offensive it is. They say the word offends a large group of people, including people with intellectual disabilities and their families and friends. During the campaign, people are encouraged to sign a pledge to eliminate the use of hurtful words in everyday conversation.

NATIONAL Four social workers convicted of fraud PHILADELPHIA — Four social workers were convicted Wednesday in a fraud case stemming from the starvation death of a disabled Philadelphia teenager whose emaciated body was found with maggot-infested bedsores. A federal jury in Philadelphia convicted the employees of now-defunct MultiEthnic Behavioral Health Inc., which was accused of defrauding the city of millions of dollars by not visiting needy families and then covering that up with false paperwork. Prosecutors say the firm submitted paperwork for visits that were never made after 14-year-old Danieal Kelly's body was found in 2006. Officials said Kelly, who had cerebral palsy, weighed only 42 pounds at the time of her death, less than half the weight of an average girl her age. All four defendants were convicted of conspiracy, wire fraud and lying to federal agents, and company co-founders Mickal Kamuvaka, 60, and Solomon Manamela, 52, were convicted of all health care fraud counts. Kamuvaka still faces trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in Kelly's death. Julius Juma Murray, 52, the caseworker assigned to the Kelly family, and Miriam Coulebaly, 41, were each also convicted of three health care fraud counts but acquitted of three others. Murray also faces a manslaughter trial and is being held as a trial approaches this month on federal immigration charges. Kelly's mother, Andrea, is serving 20 to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to third-degree murder. The four are scheduled for sentencing in June. Associated Press ODD NEWS Coffee shop risqué display can stay AURORA, Colo. — Officials said a bikini and the First Amendment provide enough coverage for a model advertising a suburban Denver coffee shop called Perky Cups. Aurora City Council member Molly Markert called the picture on the 10-by-20-foot banner "degrading to women,"but she says it's legal.Markert said she had city employees measure the banner, and it conforms with city size restrictions. Robert Rogers, a city attorney, said the content is protected by the First Amendment. Perky Cups owner Jason Bernal said people have come into the shop to complain, but one stayed to buy a burrito and coffee. He said the sign has been great for business but he's not sure how long he'll leave it because of the complaints. He said he wanted to be a good neighbor.

Both are focused intently on their task, with one person holding a pen and the other pointing to something in the paper. The background is plain and does not distract from the main activity. There are various markers and pens scattered across the table, indicating an active creative process. Colleen Jones, a sophomore from Overland Park; Rachel Roth, a sophomore from Overland Park; and Emmy Merril, a sophomore from Leawood, sign a pledge to eradicate the "r-word." The Best Buddies campus organization had a table on Wescoe Wednesday afternoon on behalf of the Special Olympics as part of a campaign to end the use of "retard" and other derogatory words. WORD (CONTINUED FROM 1A) that pairs volunteers with people who have intellectual disabilities. She said she loves when her buddy, Donald, hangs out and eats dinner with her and her roommates or goes to the grocery store with her. She said working with Best Buddies made her more aware of the effect of words used to refer to people with intellectual disabilities. "It's taught me a lot about different types of people, and I think doing things like that lets people be aware of hurtful words about people who are our friends and that we've built relationships with," Renn said. Clint Armistead, a senior from Overland Park who works with both Special Olympics and Best Buddies, said it's important to look past outward differences of people with intellectual disabilities and find out who they are and what they are like. He said he met an individual who loved movies and had a movie collection that covered three walls. "Had I seen him for the fact that he fidgets with his hands and mumbles to himself every now and then — had I seen him for that, I probably would have stepped back and said 'that's weird.' Armisteed said. "But the fact that I was able to overlook that and look for the similarity and things we have in common, I can go over and watch movies with him and talk movies. It's an enjoyable time to hang out with him because I'm looking at his similarities and not his differences." Chris Hahn, CEO of Special Olympics Kansas, said the event promoted the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in society. "We're not saying to ban it or get rid of it, but we're trying to let people know that it's a word when it's said, it's hurtful, it's mean," he said. Hahn said his daughter has an intellectual disability and that he hears people use the word "retard" when referring to her in public. "You hear that and see that, and you think, 'Wouldn't it be nice to take Emily out and for people to just accept her for who she is and what she is?' he said. "If we're going to move forward and be a good place for all of us to live, we have to accept diversity, and acceptance has to be part of that inclusion." Best Buddies and Special Olympics teamed up for this year's campaign. The local chapter of Best Buddies had a goal for 1,000 people to sign the pledge. The organizations had a goal of 100,000 pledges worldwide. Renn said the long-term goal of the campaign was to encourage people to use a different word if they don't intend to be hurtful. Armistead said about 300 students signed the pledge last year. The volunteers hadn't counted the pledges, by by Wednesday afternoon Armistead said he thought there were already more signatures than last year. Edited by Allyson Shaw After receiving more than 800 student votes, Lewis and Templin residence halls are ready to present the University's favorite movie.

"Some are being more restrictive or using unhealthy eating regimens for a short period of time." THE WIZARD OF OZ THE GODFATHER TOY STORY FORREST GUMP FIGHT CLUB Chapman said fad or crash diets will produce weight loss, but only if strict diet rules are followed. Also, the restrictiveness of crash diets can actually lead to binge eating, she said. "In general, if you eat too few calories, you'll be so starved you'll end up overeating." Chapman said. Although a crash diet can be seen as simply a "quick fix", these types of eating habits can lead to more serious issues. The lack of nutrients alone deprives the body in the same ways starvation would. In that sense, crash diets can deliver serious side effects comparable to those of eating disorders.

She said in many cases the Food and Drug Administration was slow to detect unsafe diet supplements. Although some face the unhealthy consequences of dieting, Kathe said that because of her experience she wouldn't try another crash diet. Instead, she managed to shed pounds by following a healthier eating and exercise plan. "I definitely think crash dieting can be harmful," Kathe said. "It's an ineffective way to lose weight. Two years later, I am 10 pounds skimmer. I lost it by eating better and maintaining activity." SUPPLEMENTS "Your body is designed to take care of toxins on its own so that you don't need to use a cleansing process," Chapman said. "It's marketing. They convince the public that they have all these toxins in their system." Chapman said she thought cleanses are unnecessary and called them "hype" Beyonce said she used the "master cleanse," which consists of drinking a combination of lemon or lime juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper mixed with water to slim down for her role in the 2006 movie "Dream Girls." On this master cleanse, Beyoncé lost 20 pounds, according to an August 2006 article in the New York Daily News. Supplements such as Hydroxycut and Slim Shots advertise their weight loss claims on TV and in magazines. These types of supplements and diet pills are used to complement cleanses or diets. "Because my body wasn't receiving the proper amounts of nutrition, I became very sick during the diet," Kathe said. "At first, it felt like a cold, and after five days I had strep throat. I was so tired and worn down."

EDITORIAL BOARD Students should support statewide ban on smoking The Kansas House passed a bill Feb. 25 for a statewide ban that would make it illegal to smoke in public places such as bars and restaurants. Gov. Mark Parkinson, who has endorsed the bill in the past, is expected to sign the bill into law. This is a decision that all students, smokers or not, should support. According to a poll by the Sunflower Foundation, which supports health care for Kansans, 71 percent of the state is in favor of a smoking ban. If Parkinson approves the bill as expected, it would become effective July 1. Smokers should adjust their habits accordingly. This should be done not just out of respect for the law, but out of respect of the nonsmokers around them. The Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. National Toxicology Program and the International Agency for Research on Cancer say secondhand smoke is a known carcinogen. According to cancer.gov, there are more than 4,000 different chemicals in secondhand smoke, 250 of which are harmful and 50 are known to cause cancer. Banning smoking in public places would help remove the presence of harmful, cancer-causing chemicals Many cities in Kansas, including Lawrence, have already passed similar laws at local levels. The smallscale success of these smoking bans shows that it should be applied to the rest of the state. People who have been drinking cannot operate a vehicle because it endangers the lives of others. Though the effects of secondhand smoke are not seen as immediately as those of a drunk-driving accident, the damage is still there. The fact that individual cities have taken it upon themselves to ban smoking in public places also shows that not only are individual Kansans in support of a ban, but large groups are as well. With all of the information available now about the dangers associated with secondhand smoke, it is ridiculous for smokers to be allowed to smoke in public places. Cigarettes themselves should not be banned, just the ability of smokers to smoke around people who might not Smoking cigarettes, just like consuming alcohol, is a personal decision. Both are health hazards and should affect only the individual who is drinking or smoking, not the people around them. want to be exposed to secondhand smoke. Students should be in support of this bill regardless of whether they smoke. Smokers should take responsibility for their decisions to smoke and keep the health of those around them in mind when they decide to light up. — Kate Larrabee for The Kansan Editorial Board Each year in the U.S. secondhand smoke is responsible for: About 3,400 lung cancer deaths in non-smoking adults Breathing problems in nonsmokers, including coughing, mucus, chest discomfort and reduced lung function Increases in the number and severity of asthma attacks in about 200,000 to 1 million children who have asthma Additionally, scientific evidence shows that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.

It's a legend that that's been told many times. Sometimes, the Department will leave tiny pink slips demanding money when a student leaves his tire a bit on the line. Other times, the mysterious Parking Department officials are rumored to gather like hungry sharks around cars that have gone over meter time by mere minutes and slap them with the pink kiss of fine. One day, I decided to follow one of these officials back to the legendary lair. I followed a confused-looking visitor who parked in the residence hall parking lots with no pass and waited. I was startled when finally a black robed figure appeared. It was carrying a handful of the pink kisses of fines. It put one on the confused visitor's car and swiftly began to walk away. First of all, I would like to point out that these people are elusive. The Jolly Jayhawk I followed it just as swiftly in my minivan. I got a glimpse of its face. It wasn't pretty, not like a gremlin or a dementor. It almost looked like a guy in my science class, but I knew that deep down its nature was evil. When I found my way to the cave, I heard what appeared to be some black magic chanting. I peeked into the cave and found the other robed figures dancing around a fire that they were fueling with $20 bills and what appeared to be used versions of the pink kisses of fines. was driving stopped outside of a cave I had never before noticed on the outskirts of campus. I made sure to park far away so as not to tip the all-seeing Department off. The car that the mysterious man BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL Suddenly, the dancing ceased and the hooded Department figures got down to business. One of the hooded figures cackled maniacally before suggesting that they hire construction workers to make the GSP/Corbin and McCollum parking lots even smaller. The others seemed interested. Another figure wanted to add more red zones to the normal parking lots to bambooze more students. Another suggested adding three more colors — maroon, cyan, and beige — to the parking zones. One spent the whole meeting rocking back and forth, grinning and muttering, "All the Andrew Jacksons." I hurried back to my car and drove home. It was difficult to sleep that night. I constantly look out the window for the hooded figures and the pink slips. I think they know I investigated them because every time I open my wallet there seems to be one fewer Andrew Jackson. Unless dollars can walk, something evil is occurring. The pink slips sometimes sit on my windshield when I park a bit over the lines or a little crooked. In them, I find the usual fine plus a note that appears to be written in blood (or red ink) that reads, "We're just doing our jobs. The rules aren't that difficult to follow." Part of me wants to believe it isn't true, but the less angry part wants to think that maybe, just maybe, it is. Carmichael is a sophomore from Mulvane in journalism and media studies.

ETIQUETTE Rules of the road aren't just courtesy The other day I was waiting to pull out of a shopping center and turn left onto Louisiana Street near the 23rd Street intersection. But I was forced to sit and wait because of a girl chatting on her phone and blatantly blocking the intersection while the light was red. That's when I was reminded some people are totally oblivious to basic driving etiquette. There are rules of the road we all learn to pass our driver's license test. But there are unspoken guidelines that make driving a little easier for everyone. Let's start with the situation I already mentioned. When coming to a red light, do not stop and block the road. If there are other drivers who need to cross to make a left turn, leave a big enough gap so they are easily able to do so. If coming to a four-way stop, put on a blinker if turning. The four-way stop can be a tango for cars, especially if multiple cars pull up at the same time. Who goes next? One way to clarify any confusion is to make the directions as clear as possible. Throw on the blinker. It only takes a second. Driving on Kansas Highway 10 or U.S. Interstate 70, there always "that person" who insists on driving well below the speed limit in the left lane. The left lane is for passing. For that matter, just make a habit of using a blinker in general. It's there for a reason. In fact, that's not even just etiquette anymore. As of July 1 this year, it will be illegal to drive in the left lane in Kansas unless passing a car. When I have trouble moderating my speed, I use that little tool called cruise control. This helps me know for sure that I'm driving at a respectable speed and those who want to pass me can easily do so. Manners Made Easy Mary B. Sullivan BY RICHELLE BUSER bbuser@kansan.com Kansas is partially rural, and drivers use their bright lights. Remember to dim brights on dark roads when another car is approaching. Blinding lights can cause a dangerous distraction for drivers. Lastly, please don't drive aimlessly and slowly looking for an address. I realize that when searching for a new location, it makes sense to slow down to get a better look at buildings. However, that's really logical for the person trying to find a certain address. For everyone behind him, it's extremely dangerous and unpredictable. There is much to be said about driving etiquette, but these are a few guidelines to consider the next time you put the key in the ignition. Being considerate of others pays off on the road. It helps to eliminate road rage and makes getting from one place to the next as painless as possible. Buser is a senior from Columbia, Ill., in journalism. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Cap and trade policy forces businesses out of country bated in the Senate and the typical Kansan support of it. The subject of this letter is cap and trade legislation that is currently being de- Although I think it is ludicrous to tax the gas we exhale, I am not arguing against cap and tride because of belief or disbelief in anthropogenic global warming. The bill, laden with other scary proposals, creates a cap and trade system that will force businesses to purchase allowances for their carbon emissions that exceed the emission level being determined by a central planning authority. Rather, I loathe the idea of cap and trade because it will not lower global carbon emissions while simultaneously destroying America's economy and globally redistributing wealth. Nearly every business emits carbon in some form, so how will they respond to these taxes — or rather, allowances — that they are forced to pay for? They will cut wages, layoff employees, raise prices or, for large corporations especially, leave the country. Why would any chemical manufacturing company stay in the United States given that they are fully aware cap and trade will raise their fixed costs 53 percent during the next 10 years? These energy costs and controls create economic incentive for U.S. businesses to emigrate to countries not adopting such laws. China recently endorsed cap and trade in the U.S. Also, a Chinese official recently affirmed that China will not begin to consider pollution controls of any kind until the country is as fully developed as America. China also recently surpassed the U.S. as the No.1 carbon emitter in the world. In short, the implications of cap and trade are quite blant yet frightening — it will have no net change on global carbon emissions but will have a marked net change on global economics because of vast transfers of wealth from Western nations to under-developed nations. —Hoyt Banks is a senior from Stilwell.

Rock Chalk Review begins tonight at 7 p.m. BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com Rock Chalk Revue premieres after months of rehearsal For John LeRoy and Jon Goscha, all their effort and hard work from the past several months will come down to this weekend. LeRoy, a senior from Leawood, and Goscha, a junior from Salina. are two of the directors for Sigma Nu fraternity in this year's production of Rock Chalk Revue. Sigma Nu is paired with Alpha Delta Pi sorority for the show in a “It's already been worth it,” LeRoy said. “I couldn't think of a better way to end my senior year in college. Regardless of the outcome, it's been one of the best experiences I could ever imagine.” "All the shows are equally creative. They're all really good shows." production titled "Prepare for a Scare." Goscha said that their show is about a group of monster friends working together to scare the king of the monsters. He said that both chapters put a lot of time and effort into this year's production and are looking forward to seeing the results. MEGHAN PUHR Olathe senior Last year, Sigma Nu rejoined the Greek community after being removed from campus for one year. Because the last time SigmaNu was in Rock Chalk Revue was in 2004, LeRoy said that the chapter's participation in this year's show would play a big role in building a reputation for themselves on campus. "It's a big step in getting our name back out," LeRoy said. "We're establishing our presence on campus again." This year marks the 61st year of Rock Chalk Revue, which is one of the University's largest philanthropy efforts. Last year, the show raised $60,000 for United Way, Rock Chalk Revue is a campus-wide variety show that pairs organizations to write, create and perform a 30-minute show for the University and Lawrence community. Participants for Rock Chalk Revue were selected by 12 judges after a weekend of auditions in and proceeds this year will again go to the organization. November. The groups have been preparing for this weekend's performance since then. Performances, which begin tonight, last all weekend. Steve Fessler, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., and executive producer of Rock Chalk Revue, oversees all business and theatrical aspects of the show. Fessler said that a large part of his effort is geared toward raising money for the United Way through selling ads to local businesses that appear in the production program. Fessler also oversees the establishment of corporate sponsors. From ad sales and corporate sponsors alone, Fessler said Rock Chalk Revue has raised more than $20,000 for the United Way. After ticket sales, Fessler said he hoped to see more than $60,000 raised. "Obviously, our main emphasis is to raise money for the United Way," Fessler said. "One of my big goals from the beginning was increasing the quality of the performance. We'd like to see ticket sales increase in tandem." Beyond raising money for the United Way, groups have a major incentive to participate — to earn the trophy for the best show. Typically, participants and facilitators are able to guess who's going to win, but Meghan Puhr, a senior from Olathe and co-executive director of the show, said that was KAPPA DELTA & THETA CHI: "Ripe" ROCK CHALK REVUE PARTICIPANTS AND SHOW NAMES SIGMA KAPPA & SIGMA PHI EPSILON: "Where in the World" KAPPA ALPHA THETA & PI KAPPA PHI: "Flying Solo: A Supermusical" ALPHA DELTA PI & SIGMA NU: "Prepare for a Scare" SHOWTIMES AND TICKET PRICES All shows are at 7 p.m. All shows are at 7 p.m. TONIGHT: Add: 110 115 FRIDAY: Adults $18, students $15 Adults $18, students $15 SATURDAY: All tickets are $25 difficult this year.

The two met at the University two years ago before Krupa transferred to Oregon in 2008. The ice is melting, and finally Patrick Mathay can begin diversifying his workouts as he trains to bike for 80 days. Adam Buhler/KANSAN Patrick Mathay trains for a bike ride Wednesday afternoon on 15th Street. Mathay, a KU alumnus, is training for a bike ride from Oregon to Guatemala in June. 100929 "It's his life mission," Hooker said. "He is the happiest when he is helping others." The 3,500-mile trip is a bike-a-thon event to raise money for the Range of Motion Project, an organization that provides prosthetic limbs and clinics for people in developing countries who can't afford them. Mathay will stop in different cities along the way and inform people about ROMP. Because of the frequent stops, Mathay said he wouldn't be surprised if it takes longer than two and a half months to get there. Mathay said he became passionate about this cause last summer while working at the ROMP clinic in Guatemala. His job was to follow up on past patients to see how they are doing with their prosthetic limbs. Kelsey Hooker, a 2009 graduate and Mathay's girlfriend, also went on the trip to Guatemala last summer. Hooker said although she is a bit scared for him, as he will be biking all the way down, she said she knew it would raise awareness for his passion. "The goal of all of it is to send individuals out into society as functioning individuals," Mathay said. Krupa said he chose biking as a means of fundraising because, aside from public transportation, it is the only means of transportation for a lot of people in the developing world. It also helps raise awareness of ROMP, he said. Mathay said part of his passion to bike for awareness and fundraising came from the success Krupa had in 2008, when Krupa biked from Lawrence to Madison, Wis., for ROMP. "I don't want to get it out of my mind, but I can't get it out of my mind even if I tried," Krupa said. Krupa said he gained his passion for prosthetics and ROMP after spending a year working in both Zacapa, Guatemala, and in Quito, Ecuador, and seeing the conditions of the people in need of prosthetics. Mathay and Krupa will begin pedaling from Eugene, Ore., on June 19. Mathay said he would participate in the God's Country Duathlon on April 11, an event that incorporates biking and running on a trail in Lawrence, and then he would run the half marathon portion of the Kansas Marathon April 18 in Lawrence. He said he would conclude his training events in a triathlon on May 2 at the University of Missouri.

Some areas, such as the stairs outside Anschutz Library, were closed last week because of the slippery conditions. Apartment complexes dealt with similar issues Allison Dillmon, a sophomore from Wichita, is still on crutches from slipping on black ice outside her apartment complex seven weeks ago. She broke two bones in her ankle. "My sister took me to the emergency room, and I've been visiting an orthopedic surgeon to get it checked up and stuff." she said. Because Dillmon fell on the apartment complex's property, it agreed to pay for some of her medical fees. Dillmon's insurance and parents covered the rest. KU general counsel Rose Marino said the University is covered against lawsuits regarding weather-related injuries under the Kansas Tort Claims Act. She said the University is not responsible for injuries that occur because of snow, ice or wind because those conditions are outside of its control. "It basically states that unless the University did something to make it worse or cause it, then the University isn't liable," Marino said. Marino said she didn't know if a student had ever filed a lawsuit against the University for weather-related injuries. But she said complaints had been made, which caused officials to look into the issue. University spokeswoman Jill Jess said that the University tries to make campus a safe place to walk soon after snowfall but that it's not always an easy task. "The University makes every effort to clear streets and sidewalks in a timely fashion," she said. "With the sheer amount of area that has to be covered, we know we won't be able to hit 100 percent clearance in 24 hours." The University does not follow the normal Lawrence city ordinance of snow removal, which gives property owners 48 hours after snowfall to clear public sidewalks before receiving a citation. — Edited by Kate Larrabee WHAT'S YOUR SITUATION?

As a senior guard, Collins' time at Allen Fieldhouse was up. "I saw the subs coming" Collins said, "so I knew it was it." It was the perfect way to go out, defeating No. 5 Kansas State 82-65 to capture the regular season Big 12 title. But Collins' emotions didn't translate on the court, scoring 17 points on 5-for-15 shooting. After the game, Self addressed the crowd for senior night. He listed all the faults Collins possessed when he first arrived at Kansas; moody, hard-headed, brash. "It's all true," Collins said. "I'm stubborn, cocky, but I think those are my best traits." Self kept the jokes rolling in the media room after seeing all the attention directed toward Collins. "Why do you want to interview a guy who went 1-for-9 the first half?" Self said. "I don't understand that at all." COMMENTARY Collins kept driving and kept shooting, but many of his shots weren't falling. He came out of the game with a purpose, splitting the Wildcats' defense, but he said he was too excited to start the game with all the pressure. Still, Self wasn't about to tell him to stop shooting. "He can make one, and all of a sudden that can become four or five in a row, and that's the difference in the game," Self said. Collins' 17 points actually were the difference — but not the reason — for Kansas' victory. The Jayhawks started hot, jumping out to a 18-6 lead. Despite a couple of late first half runs by Kansas State, the Jayhawks went into halftime up 45-38. At the 17:06 mark in the second half, K-State senior guard Denis Clemente tied the game at 45 with a three-pointer. From then on, it was run after run by both teams. Kansas made the final defining run late with a 16-2 burst.

The basket gave Kansas a 19-point lead at 82-63, finishing with 17 points in 38 minutes. Jayhawks remember what it's all about Mohd Asif BY ALEX BEECHER beecher@kansan.com You often hear certain pseudo profundities repeated to describe a given sporting event. An arena might be described as "electric," the crowd noise "deafening," a game "huge". Usually, these are lifeless superlatives, reeking of hyperbole. But not last night. From the moment Sherron Collins stepped onto James Naismith court — tears already beginning to leak from his eyes — a thesaurus wouldn't hold the right vocabulary to describe the greatness of the occasion. It was the perfect stage — senior night against a top-five rival — for Collins to have a perfect send-off. He would bust out of his recent shooting slump and, in so doing, lead Kansas to an affirming victory. Reality has a way of offering up last-second script re-writes, however. Last night, it did just that. Kansas got its victory, of course, but not on Collins' shoulders. And that makes it all the more powerful. The first half, it was Xavier Henry, a freshman, draining the three-point baskets Collins missed. It was Henry who, despite registering two early fouls, scored 15 first-half points, leading the layhawks to a 45-38 advantage. But the night wasn't about Henry, who, like Collins, may well have been playing his final game at Allen Fieldhouse. And it was not solely about Collins, as the pre-game narrative dictated. Rather, it was a coming together of things — the atmosphere, the explosive SEECOLUMN ON PAGE 7B WOMEN'S BASKETBALL 22 Junior guard Rhea Codi chases the ball after it was knocked loose by Nebraska's Yonnie Turner Wednesday.

Suddenly, there was no fallback. In an attempt to inbound the ball, the lajahawks scrambled in circles, but they were muffed by red and white jerseys.

"As a result, numerous people got to the After halftime, the Jayhawks were both unproductive and uninspired. They scored just two points in the first eight minutes of the second half and displayed little to no effort in boxing out their opponents for rebounds.

Really, how idiotic was that, Oklahoma State? You're a tournament team and you rushed the court after defeating another tournament team? Is it just me or does rushing the court mean you just pulled off something so miraculous that it deserves an impromptu celebration? 10 How in the world can beating a team that will be in the same post-season tournament as you be considered miraculous or improbable? Oklahoma State fans displayed no confidence that their team had any chance in beating Kansas by rushing the court. Good luck in the NCAA Tournament with that attitude. You might get worn out rushing the court after every team you beat. On second thought, you might not. Oklahoma State fans take note of the following: On Jan. 18, Kansas State defeated the number one team in the country at the time, Texas, at home on national TV. The students began chanting at the end of the BY MAX VOSBURGH mvosburgh@kansan.com twitter.com/MVSports game, "Don't rush the court." This is the smartest thing I've ever heard from the Kansas State student section, which two years earlier rushed the court after defeating Kansas for the first time at home since 1983. This year's K-State student section displayed the right message: We beat the number one team in the country. Who cares? We're not going to storm the court and celebrate like we had no chance to win in the first place. We're as good as anybody. The very next week on Jan. 26, a likely NIT-bound South Carolina team defeated then No.1 Kentucky at home on national TV. They rushed the court. South Carolina was 11-8 at the time. They had lost the last seven previous games they'd played number THE MORNING BREW I hope that Kansas basketball never dips to the level where beating anyone else at home would be considered a miracle and thus warranting fans to rush the court.

MARCH 4. 2010 / **SPORTS** OF 5B WOMEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND Game Ball Annette Davis It's hard to hand out a game ball to anyone in a game like this, but Davis quietly impressed. While most of her production took place late in the second half when the game was already decided, Davis connected on all four of her shot attempts. She also logged four rebounds and one block in 11 minutes played. A. Davis 10 Reason to hope Good shooting Despite not reaching their average shooting percentage on the season, the Jayhawks still had a decent night shooting the ball. Kansas made 23-of-52 attempts from the field, which is good for a 44.2 shooting percentage. In the first half, the Jayhawks even shot better than 50 percent from the field. That still wasn't enough to get the Jayhawks close to another upset opportunity. Reason to mope Carolyn Davis Davis played one of her more forgettable games last night as she finished with no points on two attempts. Her lack of production and effort, in some instances, earned her a spot on the bench for much of the game.She ended the game with only 20 minutes of playing time despite a lack of foul trouble. A. L. KING C. Davis What to watch out for point guard parody Junior guard Rhea Codio made her first start of the season and her career last night. She replaced senior guard LaChelda Jacobs who had started 12 straight games after freshman guard Angel Goodrich went down with injury. Codio earned the majority of the minutes in the game and finished with a 1:1 assist to turnover ratio, which topped Jacobs 2:3 turnover ratio. Quote of the game "Coming out of halftime in the game at Lawrence, they made a huge run. That was something all week that we talked about — not coming out of halftime and giving them the momentum. — Nebraska junior Dominique Kelley PETER D. WESTMAN Kelley Stat of the night 24-30 Nebraska hit 24-of-30 free throw attempts, an absurdly large number of attempts. Junior Dominique Kelley and senior Kelsey Griffin, the Cornhuskers' top two scorers, totaled 10 free throws between them. Kansas attempted just nine free throws as a team. By giving Nebraska so many looks at the charity stripe, Kansas allowed Nebraska to pile up easy and uncontested points. To give a numerical picture of its importance, Nebraska converted 24 free throws and Kansas lost the game by 25 points. - Andrew Taylor WILLIAMS Kelley Y Griffin Numbers look bad in many ways BY ANDREW TAYLOR Jerry Wang/KANSAN N 12 ataylor@kansan.com Senior guard LaChelda Jacobs and junior center Krysten Boogaard pressure Nebraska forward Cory Montgomery. Jacobs was called for a foul on the play, and Montgomery sank both free throws. LINCOLN, Neb. — The stat sheet from No. 3 Nebraska's 77-52 trashing of Kansas reveals a litany of ways Kansas lost the game. There's the fact that no Kansas player scored more than 10 points while Nebraska had four players score in double figures. No matter how the stats are broken down, they'll continually reveal a Jayhawk team that was simply outmatched in just about every way. Even the hope of avenging a close loss at home to the Cornhuskers earlier in the season was not enough to motivate the Jayhawks to victory. "I thought, compared to the game down in Lawrence, we did a better job of taking them out of the things they wanted to do." Nebraska junior guard Dominique Kelly said. There's also the 24 points the Cornhuskers scored on free throws, on 21 more free throws attempts than the lawvahs. "We just didn't come ready to play," senior guard Sade Morris said. "There's no other way to put it." The pittfalls the Jayhawks encountered in Lincoln Wednesday night aren't new by any means as many of the same struggles have typified the Jayhawks' last three road games, all of which they have lost by 17 points or more. "We're just not doing a good job of staying together, and that's something we've been trying to work on." Morris said. "You could see it in the way we played. We tried to stay together, but we just kind of fell apart." Unfortunately for Kansas, the disparities between the scores of its current three game road-losing streak is just the first in a long list of similarities between the games. For example, the lajahwaves have failed to surpass their season shooting percentage of 45.5 percent from the field. Although Kansas did come close to that last night, shooting 44.2 percent from the field, which actually beat Nebraska's 39.7 shooting percentage, it was not enough to overcome the Cornhuskers supreme free throw shooting. "How do you manufacture points? You manufacture them at the free throw line," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "You go in transition, you get the offensive board, and you drive it. They do those three things really, really well." "It's just not us taking of the ball. It's not us making the right decisions." Morris said. "We did that to ourselves." The Jayhawks have averaged 18.3 turnovers per game. To top it off Kansas' two leading scorers since the injury to Danielle McCray, in freshmen Monica Engelman and Carolyn Davis, have struggled to produce. Against Nebraska, the duo managed only nine points, all scored by Engelman. "We've got to keep fighting the frustration," Morris said. "We just need to keep fighting and fighting and know that we need to stick together." Edited by Jesse Rangel WOMEN'S (CONTINUED FROM 1B) as the confirmation. Lethargic freshman forward Carolyn Davis was the child-ster. Davis had anchored Kansas' offense since her first start in a 72-59 victory against Missouri on Jan. 17. Against Nebraska, she was held scoreless in 20 minutes of play. "I can't play you if you're just going to jog up the floor and make it a layup drill," Henrickson said. "I thought a good place for her to sit was the bench if she didn't want to run. There's no running on the bench." It was truly a tale of two opposites. Nebraska out-rebounded Kansas 17-5 on the offensive glass. It sunk 24 of 30 free throws and moved its record to 28-0 overall, 15-0 in the Big 12. Meanwhile, Kansas has been blown out by an average of 24 points in its last two games and dropped to 15-13 overall. It seems likely that even an upset against No. 15 Texas A&M Saturday will not be enough to salvage its NCAA tournament hopes. "We've relied on Carolyn and Monica a lot, and those two might be driving the struggle bus right now," Henrickson said. "That's my biggest concern leaving here. They haven't been themselves." — Edited by Anna Archibald Don’t be this guy. on site laundry, store, fridge, double sink, and full-size bathroom in every apartment home Immediate Leasing & Semester Leasing Available.

L, 85-77 March 3 KANSAS STATE W, 82-65 MEN'S BASKETI Team carries Collins wins on senior night BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com It was fitting on the night when Sherron Collins thanked his teammates and coaches before taking any credit for himself that he would be carried by those people to an 82-65 victory against No. 5 Kansas State. "We're like brothers," Collins said as he addressed the crowd at center court. "This is a family." His "brothers" picked up the slack when Collins went 1-for-9 in the first half. Xavier Henry, in what likely could have been his last game in Allen Fieldhouse as well, had 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting before the break. Markieff Morris came off the bench for 12 of the first 20 minutes and had eight points and five rebounds - four offensive. As the media hored around Collins after the game. Self had a little fun at his prized senior's expense. "In the beginning I was really jittery," Collins said. "I was a little too anxious and wasn't playing well. I was shooting quick shots and guarded shots, but the coaches were just telling me to relax and play the game. I just had to take a couple of deep breaths." "Why are y'all wanting to talk to a guy that went 1-for-9 in the first half?" Self said. "I don't get it." He paused and then added, "I thought that was funny." Though the night was mostly about Collins and his last game in Allen Fieldhouse, Self knew going in that Kansas needed a win to clinch the Big 12 title. Adding to the intrigue was that, for the first time in 52 years, both the Jayahawks and Wildcats were ranked in the top five for a Sunflower Showdown. "Usually, the home team does play pretty well on senior night." Self said, "but I thought tonight was a little different, because there was really a lot on the line. Not only are you playing your in state rival, but you need to for sure win the game to win the title outright." It was conceivable, with so much going on around them, that the Jayhawks would come out with a little too much juice for Wednesday's game. Not a problem. Morris, who has one of the calmest demeanors on the team, said that Self just let the Jayhawks ride their emotions into the game. The Jayhawks used a hot start they took an early 18-6 lead — and a similarly hot finish — after the Wildcats tied it at 45, the Jayhawks pulled off a 28-12 run — to put away an obviously talented Kansas State team that was playing for a chance at a No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament. "Once we get started, Coach just lets us go," Morris said. "Coach, you know, he didn't try to get us hyped, because we came in the game and we were already hyped. We started the game with a lot of energy and we finished with a little energy." Edited by Allyson Shaw Coach Bill Self covers his face after a foul was called on senior guard Sheron Collins. The victory against Kansas State marked Self's 404th victory.

Henry led Kansas with 1-6 of-9 from the field with five rebounds. SHERRON (CONTINUED FROM 1B) ward Markieff Morris, who came off the bench with 10 points and nine rebounds. Collins finished the night with the traditional senior speech. He called Self the night before in an attempt to get ideas, and he said the end result was pretty good. "It was an emotional night for all of us," Morris said. "It's going to be tough not seeing him next year, but we went out with a bang." He thanked all the coaches for helping him improve. He thanked a sobbing Brady Morningstar and his family for making the transition to Lawrence from Chicago easier. And he thanked the fans for all the support they've given him. "This will be a night I1 remember for the rest of my life." Collins said.

LEASE ASE 100 OVE AT ENCE 0.8529 4TH PLACE grove COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1B) counter-punches traded by the two teams, the sheer intensity of affairs - that defined the night. Most of all, it was the magnitude of the victory and the emphatic manner in which it was achieved Kansas got the kind of affirming victory that it needed, the kind of statement that answers the questions asked following Saturday's loss. Make no mistake about it: Kansas State deserves its top five ranking. The Wildcats are a very good team, and they played very well. On another night, in another venue, against another team, their effort almost certainly would have earned a victory. But not last night, not in Allen Fieldhouse, not against Kansas. Instead of a victory, K-State's efforts earned it only a rather convincing 82-65 beating. Not because of some superhuman effort from Collins, but because of a fantastic team game played by Kansas. And that's encouraging — even necessary — following the loss at Oklahoma State. When Collins struggled to find his shot in Stillwater, the rest of the Jayhawks couldn't compensate, and they couldn't play the kind of lockdown defense Bill Self's teams are known for. But against K-State, the Jayhawks as a whole excelled, reaffirming their status as one of the nation's best teams. And that, for this team, is what it's ultimately about, not one player, or one game, or even another conference title. This year, as Collins noted in his postgame speech, is about winning the National Championship. Last night, Kansas did what it needed to do to get closer to that victory. Edited by Sarah Bluvas Player to remember Collins was ice cold in the first half, knocking down just 1-of-9 shots before the break, but picked it up in the second for his last half at Allen Fieldhouse. Collins hit 4-of-6 from the field, including a mini-run of his own when he connected for seven straight points to build the Kansas lead to 13. Collins finished with 17 points and four assists in his 125th victory as a Jayhawk. PETER KATIMBIA Senior guard Sherron Collins Collins Player to forget Junior center Cole Aldrich Aldrich PETER SMITH Aldrich was serenaded with chants of "One more year!" from the Kansas faithful, but it's a safe bet that he'll be heading for the NBA once this season runs out. Coach Bill Self said as much, telling the fans, "I'm all for that, but don't hold your breath on that one." Aldrich probably wanted a better finale in the Fieldhouse, though. He finished with just nine points and four rebounds. Stat of the night 74-2 at home in his freshman year, to Oral Roberts and Texas A&M, and hasn't lost since, in 59 consecutive home games. It's the longest streak in the country, and it's three shy of a school record. Sherron Collins finished his career at 74-2 in Allen Fieldhouse. The senior point guard lost two games Quote of the night "Every time after we met with Sherron, we thought to ourselves, 'What a hardheaded, moody, stubborn, cocky, pain in the butt.' And after coaching him for four years, nothing's really changed. There's guys who've scored more points and guys who've had more assists and steals, but very few Kansas fans who have ever witnessed a competitor like this." Selt -Bill Self, introducing Sherron Collins after the game for his senior night speech Prime plays 1ST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY) 16:32- Sherron Collins got his first bucket, slicing his way to the basket. The defense is having trouble with him. (11-4) 17:35- Sherron Collins did his second behind-the-back-because this-is-my-night penetration move and kicked it out to Tyshawn Taylor, who then hit Xavier Henry for a three. (9-2) 15:18-Sherron Collins tried to pass the ball to Brady Morningstar on the fast break for what appeared to be an easy layup. The ball was deflected, but Morningstar touch-passed it to a trailing Marcus Morris. Jayhawks up big early. (15-4) 8:41- The Wildcats looked like they had some rhythm going, but Xavier Henry had a timely and-one layup. He missed the free throw, but Tyshawn Taylor had a beautiful layup right after. (29-19) 4:03- Marcus Morris hit Cole Aldrich with an alley-oop to put the crowd back on their feet. Jayhawks back up by double digits. (40-29) 15:18 Tyrel Reed with another three. The Jayhawks created some distance trading twos for threes. (51-47) 13:25- Sherron Collins stole the ball and hit Xavier Henry halfway down the court, who dunked it, capping the run at nine. (57-47) 16:42- Brady Morningstar hit a three to break the tie. First points for him and first for the Jayhawks in the half. (48-45) 9:40- Sherron Collins hit a three, giving the Jayhawks their double-digit lead back. (65-55) 2ND HALF 4:46. After giving the most horrifying face you will see on a block about a minute before, Cole Aldrich put Jacob Pullen flat on his you-know what with another man-swat. (73-57) 7:56- The floater by Sherron Collins gave the Jayhawks yet another run, this time reaching eight. The Wildcats burn another timeout. (67-55) Key stats 1-9,4-6 Sherron Collins shot just 1-of-9 in the first half, but finished 4-of-6 in the second half for 17 points on the night. 38 Collins played 38 minutes to night. He hasn't played more in any regulation game this year. 15 6 While Collins was struggling through the first half, Xavier Henry was on fire, hitting 5-of-6 shots for 15 points at the break. The Jayhawks claimed outright their sixth straight Big 12 title with a victory against the second-place Wildcats. 651-106 The Jayhawks are 651-106 all-time in Allen Fieldhouse. 1.998 The Jayhawks have won 1,998 games in the history of the program. - Tim Dwyer and Corey Thibodeaux hawkchalk 1 8B CLASSIFIEDS THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM --- KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOME SALE housing SALE for sale· ANNOUNCEMENTS 30 Gallon fish tank.

Vasquez scored 20 points, including a clutch basket with 37 seconds left, and No. 22 Maryland beat fourth-ranked Duke 79-72 Wednesday night to move into a tie with the Blue Devils atop the Atlantic Coast Conference standings. It was the final home game for Vazquez, who was honored with seniors Landon Terrapin fans rushed the court after the game, which was guard Greivis Vasquez's last home game for Maryland. Milbourne and Eric Hayes before the game. Afterward, all three were mobbed with their teammates as fans rushed the court to celebrate Maryland's first win over Duke in seven tries. Jordan Williams had 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Terrapins (22-7, 12-3), who have won six straight since losing by 21 at Duke on Feb. 13. Nolan Smith scored 20 for Duke (25-5, 12-3) and Jon Scheyer had 19. The defeat ended the Blue Devils' eight-game winning streak. Both teams have one game left in the regular season. Maryland travels to Virginia on Saturday, and Duke hosts North Carolina. more important than the last. Duke center Brian Zoubek, who had 16 points and 17 rebounds in Duke's earlier win over Maryland, finished with four points and 13 boards. The final minutes featured several outstanding shots, each one Scheyer hit a 3-pointer to put Duke up 63-60 with 5:25 to go, and Vasquez tied it with a jumper from beyond the arc. Scheyer then scored on a drive, but Maryland answered with a hook shot in the lane from Adrian Bowie and a fadeaway jumper by Vasquez. It was 69 all before Williams scored on a follow. Then, after Duke missed twice, Vasquez tucked the ball to his chest and bulled his way to the basket before launching a shot that dropped Sean Mosley added two free throws with 26.2 seconds left. Maryland finished unbeaten at home in the ACC and 15-1 overall. through the net, making it 73-69. long range to put the Terps up 54 49. After an emotional ceremony for the seniors, the Terrapins thrilled the sellout crowd by getting off to a sizzling start. But Smith hit a tough baseline jumper and then converted a three-point play to tie it with 9:11 left, and after a series of misses by both teams, Smith's driving layup put Duke in front. The lead went back and forth until Maryland's closing 10-3 burst. The Blue Devils ended the first half with a 19-7 run to get within 40-38. Duke missed its first six shots and fell behind 7-0 before a tip-in by Zoubek ended the drought. Milbourne followed with a 3-pointer, but he picked up his second foul on Maryland's next possession and was forced to take a seat on the bench. Maryland led 7-0,19-7 and 33-19 before Duke settled down. The Blue Devils took their first lead when Scheyer opened the second half with a 3 to make it 41-40. The Blue Devils were 1 for 8 and trailed 10-2 when officials noticed a snag in the net and replaced it. Kyle Singler promptly drilled a 3 before a reverse layup by Hayes and a three-point play by Williams — off a no-look play from Vasquez — sparked Duke was up 63-60 with 5:25 to go, when Vasquez tied the game with a three-pointer. The end of the game featured several spectacular baskets. Dukel led 47-44 before Williams made a three-point play, Bowie scored on a drive and Milbourne added a dunk. After a layup by Scheyer, Bowie connected from an 11-3 run that made it 21-8. At that point, Scheyer, Singler and Smith were a collective 1 for 9. The trio accounted for Duke's next four baskets, and a layup by Zoubek got the Blue Devils to 25-19. Mos ley then hit a jumper for Maryland, and successive 3-pointers by Hayes and Mosley boosted the margin to 14. It was 40-29 before Duke ended the half with a three-point play by Singler and 3-pointers by Smith and Scheyer. BIG 12 BASKETBALL A&M defeats OSU with defense Associated Press BY KRISTIE RIEKEN COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Donald Sloan scored 19 points and No. 23 Texas A&M led from start to finish in a 76-61 win over Oklahoma State on Wednesday night. The Aggies (21-8, 10-5 Big 12) used 3-point shooting to take an early lead and a 14-0 run in the opening minutes of the second half to keep it against the Cowboys, who were coming off Saturday's big win over then-No. 1 Kansas. Texas A&M had its 18-point lead cut to eight before outscoring the Cowboys 11-3 to stretch the cushion to 70-54 with about three minutes left, Sloan, a senior playing in his last home game, and B.J.

To better illustrate which Big 12 teams have the best chances of making it, the conference will be examined through the eyes of Wall Street. NO. 3 NEBRASKA (27-0, 14-0): BUY A match against Kansas State is Nebraska's only remaining regular season game. In the teams' first meeting Jan. 23, the Cornhuskers throttled the Wildcats by 15 in Lincoln. The change of locale shouldn't affect Nebraska as it looks to cruise into next week's conference tournament. NO. 13 IOWA STATE (22-5, 10-4) BUY After a 10-point loss to Nebraska on Feb. 17, Iowa State has rattled off three straight victories in a favorable Big 12 schedule. In a conference that has seven ranked teams, the Cyclones will have to play only one of them in their final five regular season games. NO.12 OKLAHOMA (20-9, 10-5)SELL Since losing to No. 1 Connecticut Feb. 15, Oklahoma has lost two of its last four games. The most recent of which was a 23-point thrashing at the hands of No. 14 Texas A&M. A lack of physical play typified that loss to the Aggies, and it's something the Sooners will need to find for the upcoming conference tournament. NO.14 TEXAS A&M (21-7, 9-6):BUY The Aggies opened conference play with a 4-5 record, but they have since won five of their last six games on their way to a possible first-round bye in the conference tournament. Texas A&M is playing some of its best basketball of the season right now, and it will be a tough team to handle in the postseason. NO.15 BAYLOR (21-7, 8-6):BUY With freshman sensation Britney Griner at the helm, the Bears have catapulted three spots in the conference rankings in just two weeks' time. In the stretch of four straight victories that put Baylor in that position, Griner averaged 19.3 points per game. 10 rebounds per game and 5.8 blocks per game. NO. 20 OKLAHOMA STATE (20-8, 8-6):SELL After opening the conference season 6-1, the Cowgirls looked poised to make a run at the Big 12 regular season championship. Five straight losses, started by a 21-point loss to Nebraska, effectively ended any hope Oklahoma State had. Oklahoma State has made a little improvement in its two most recent games, which included a victory against Texas. NO. 22 TEXAS (19-9, 8-6): SELL SELL The rigors of a tough conference schedule have taken their toll on Texas. The Longhorns lost three straight games to ranked opponents. Poor shooting was their Achilles heel during that stretch, as the Longhorns never shot better than 36 percent from the field. BUY TEXAS TECH (17-11, 5-9): Three weeks ago, Texas Tech was sitting on a 1-7 conference record, and it was all but left for dead. Since then, though, the Red Raiders have managed to resurrect their season by winning four of their last six games, and they have even entered the conversation for an NCAA tournament bid. KANSAS (15-12, 5-9): The Jayhawks' once-hopeful thoughts of earning a berth in the NCAA tournament have all but diminished. After losing five of six games, ESPN's Creme has Kansas listed as the first team out in the consideration of tournament berth KANSAS STATE (12-16, 4-10):SELL in his most recent bracket. Five straight losses have effectively derailed the Wildcats' season. Kansas State hasn't been completely dismantled as it even held a 21-point advantage over Oklahoma in the second half before eventually losing. Without the victories to back up solid play, though, Kansas State will likely have a very brief postseason. COLORADO (13-14, 3-11): SELL The grueling Big 12 conference has not been kind to the Buffalooes, and they have lost against ranked conference foes eight times by an average of more than 10 points. Colorado's only hope of making the NCAA tournament is to win the Big 12 tournament, which, given its performance so far this season, seems unlikely. MISSOURI (11-16, 1-13): CELL To cap off an underachieving season in which the Tigers have experienced a nine-game losing streak, Missouri athletics announced that coach Cindy Stein will not resign following the conclusion of the season. Since guiding Missouri to a tournament berth in 2006, Stein's teams have gone only 12-50 in the Big 12.

Yes, I love a good chat with strangers. Almost as much as I love watching them. If I may defend myself ... It's not that I'm mean-spirited in my peering, usually done through the good-old, tried-and-true methods of the casual eavesdrop or the subtle over-the-shoulder glance. I'm not out for spite when I people watch; I'm just really fascinated by people and their stories. I'll go ahead and fess up. I'm a busybody. A snooper. A pryer. Or, my personal favorite term, borrowed from the Latin for "what now," a quidnunc. My name is Alex and I have a problem: I'm nosy as hell. A shy kid who had difficulty communicating, I grew up learning through observation. My whole life, I've continued to take a hands- off approach to many situations, preferring instead to watch from the outside until I feel comfortable joining in. An insecure fascination with observing people I'd never have the guts to actually interact with eventually spiraled into a slightly more sinister desire to know a lot about people without them knowing much about me. Sometimes around my sophomore year, however, I made the decision I wanted to try to change this personality quirk in the fear I may end up hurting others, or myself. Nobody likes a nosy-parker, right? These days, I really do try to stick to the passive people watching — to keep myself from getting involved in business I don't belong in. But I hope my interest in (and care for) everyday people, and the rich, diverse, riveting stories they have to tell, never goes away. For better or worse, I know I'm not alone in my guilty pleasure. Check out Anna's story on page 5 to learn about how our ever-changing technological environment — everything from microblogging to location-awareness-based mobile phone applications — are fueling our cultural propensity for people watching by giving us new, even more convenient ways to tap into our inner quidnunc.

Instead of sitting on a bench at the park, we're now using the screens on our TVs, phones and computers to do our people watching. Photo illustration by Mia Iverson REALITY TV Reality escape. People turn to people watching on reality TV shows because they enjoy living year-round through the portrait of over-the-top characters, experts say. Technology has brought people watching to new heights. Alissa Anderson, Derby freshman, watches MTV's reality show Jersey Shore religiously on Thursday nights. "It had crazy elements and the people were so dynamic and different," Anderson says. "The camera provokes people to act crazy." From fighting to partying, MTV's camera lens focused on young Italian-Americans living together who were known for their wild antics and quotable one-liners. "I think people like to live vicariously through other people," says Scott Testa, media consultant and professor of business administration at Cabrini College in Philadelphia. "People like situations that maybe they wouldn't do in their own lives, but they enjoy watching other people do it." It's a form of escapism from your normal life. Testa says reality shows such as Jersey Shore can be appealing because of this train wreck factor — it's a horrible sight, but you can't look away. He says people subconsciously compare themselves to others, so knowing our lives aren't as bad as some people on TV is a satisfying thought. VIDEO SHARING "It's this platform that allows people to have their voice out there," says Lauren Sammak, senior manager of digital publicity at Fanscape, an online digital word-of-mouth marketing agency. She says YouTube satisfies our desire to connect with others because people who upload videos want to be watched and to feel as if they Testa says some characters who know they're being watched might act in ways that aren't consistent with their regular actions. He says although some reality shows might skew actual reality and behaviors, viewers respond to the exaggerated characters because they evoke strong emotions, which translate to the screen well. He says sometimes the more outrageous the behavior, the bigger the audience. YouTube has become a favorite pastime for Megan Baumchen, Sunrise Beach, Mo., senior, and her roommates. She says she enjoys the sense of anonymity when it comes to watching others for entertainment. exist and are affecting the world The people who upload videos are also subject to scrutiny by those who are watching them. Sammak says YouTube provides for discussion through commenting, but allows for freedom of opinions. YouTube profiles often reveal a limited amount of information about people, which maintains anonymity when making good or bad comments. "You can feel more free to say whatever you want because you're not worried about it going back to you," Sammak says. SOCIAL NETWORKING Anderson says the popularity of Facebook can satisfy our basic curiosities for others. "Instead of getting to know someone first you check their Facebook instead." Anderson says, "It's just nice to be able to get a peek in on their lite before you actually meet them." Social networking helps us get a closer sense of someone's personality and has amplified our natural tendency to observe, Testa says. He says there are those who like to know everyone's business and those who like to tell everyone their business, which makes Facebook perfect for those two groups. But knowing other people's business is not always a bad thing. Facebook is a platform where people can share a common interest. You may discover that you have more in common with a stranger than you think. MICROBLOGGING Twitter allows people to follow others, particularly the whereabouts of celebrities. For Baumchen, checking her Twitter account on her smart phone has become routine along with checking her e-mail and Facebook. She follows celebrities such as cast members of Fox's TV show Glee. "It's good to see that they're normal everyday people just like we are, and they do the same things that we do," Baumchen says. Although celebrities might seem untouchable, Sammak says when following celebrities on Twitter people feel included in their world on a more personal level. "You feel like you're their friend," Sammak says. She says in today's busy society, mobile applications allow curious individuals to know the activities of others quickly. Location GPS-based phone applications such as Foursquare are taking people watching into the future. Foursquare allows you to use your phone LOCATION-AWARENESS TECHNOLOGY to "check-in" your current location. Whether you're at the bar or movies, you can manage your privacy settings and alert your friends about your whereabouts. It's like a friend-finder.

Why does the amount of sex in my relationships decrease as the relationship goes on? Is there a way to combat it? Couples can become so familiar with each other that sex becomes routine or mundane. It is not unusual for the passion and allure of sexual behavior with a long-term partner to fade. Every healthy relationship needs three things to survive — commitment, intimacy and passion. Passion is often the first to subside, but spontaneity and experimentation can keep the passion for your partner high.The reason sexual frequency goes down is because it is no longer new and exciting. You can combat mundane and routine sex by experimenting with sexual positions, sexual toys, role play and my personal favorite — sharing your sexual fantasies. You need to keep your sex exciting. Focusing on the quality of the sex will help you with the quantity. Start giving in to those urges you feel and do nothing about. If you find urges at random times and places to make love to your partner, then you probably have a healthy relationship. This is the type of passion and sexual activity that can really jump start your sexual desires. Part of the equation is finding someone you have a strong sexual arousal towards. The other part involves using spontaneity and experimentation to keep fueling your sexual desire. Do you have a question for Kansas in Heat?

Just because you're winning in World of Warcraft doesn't mean you're scoring points in the relationship department.Make sure that you and your partner discuss ground rules of gaming if it's becoming an interference. Otherwise, learn to play and spend some quality time together. Photo illustration by Jerry Wang After a long day of class and work, Kat Perez finally arrives home to find that her boyfriend, Nick Raya, JCCC student, is so immersed in his World of Warcraft (WoW) raid that he barely notices her walk in the door. After experiencing countless nights similar to this, Perez, Wichita senior, has reached her breaking point. "He quit playing WoW because I threatened to break the computer. It sounds funny but I was dead serious." Perez says. "He plays X-Box mainly now and knows not to ignore me unless he's ready for the longest span of bitching he's ever heard." Perez's situation may sound extreme, but for many young adults, computer and video games have a major effect on their lives. Whether the player's game of choice is a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) such as World of Warcraft or a console game such as Call of Duty, many gamers get so consumed that their relationships suffer. Seventy percent of college students report playing video games at least "once in awhile," according to a Pew Research poll. A 2009 study by Brigham Young University, based on information collected from 813 college students nationwide, reported that as the amount of time students spent playing video games went up, their quality of relationships with friends and family went down. Video games caused such a conflict in Perez and Rava's relationship largely because Raya simply didn't realize how much time he was spending online. He says that at times he put gaming before his relationship. It got so bad that even though the couple lived together they stopped interacting almost completely. "I'd try to squeeze time in around dinner but he'd have his headphones on and be in the middle of a raid, so he'd only talk to me when his friends took smoke breaks every hour — it was pretty damn bad." Perez says. Shannon Fox, licensed marriage and family therapist and former host of Discovery Health Channel's Love On The Rocks, says that if couples don't decide together on an appropriate amount of time to spend on video games, the relationship can die from lack of attention. She suggests partners specify game-free times of the day or week. "When you know that you'll have time with your partner, you're less likely to feel replaced by the game," Fox says. Your relationship doesn't have to take a backseat to video games just because your partner is an avid gamer. Fox says that as long as couples keep track of how much time they spend playing, video games can be a great outlet to blow off steam together after school or work. Dr. Don Lynch, professor of psychology at Unity College in Maine agrees with Fox, saying that certain games have interactive features that can have a positive effect on relationships. "The interactive components of some games can be beneficial to relationships," Lynch says. The Daedalus Project, a 2005 study that researched the demographics of World of Warcraft players, found that of more than 1,000 users, 84 percent were male. However, Garrett Van Gotten. Chanute senior, was actually introduced to World of Warcraft by his fiance, Alicia Kranker, Frontenac senior. Although games like this often cause conflict, World of Warcraft actually brought Van Gotten and Kranker closer together. "The only thing you really can take away from it are memories and stories. Getting to share them with people you enjoy being around is what makes a game worth playing." Van Gotten says. Though Van Gotten and Kranker stopped playing WoW last summer because internships got in the way of their guild's strict raiding schedule, they have some advice on how to deal if you're dating a gamer. To the partner who doesn't play: "No matter how 'bad' you are or how disinterested, it's always worth trying out," Kranker says. To the partner who does play: "Try to bring your partner into the game — it makes gaming a lot more fun. You can avoid those awkward 'gotta go guys, wife agro' comments and it'll help a lot." If you don't like the same games as your partner, there are always alternatives. Perez's boyfriend bought her a Nintendo DS Lite console last year. "I'm not advanced enough for the Xbox 360 most of the time so I play Final Fantasy and the Sims 3," Perez says. "We sit next to each other and play our respective games, goof around and make fun of the little kids on COD4 (Call of Duty)." If your boyfriend or girlfriend seems to care more about what level he or she reaches in his or her favorite game than remembering your birthday, don't let it get you down. Fox says you should try to approach the issue without putting down your partner's favorite pastime and find the best way to manage or incorporate video games into your relationship. If at first you aren't sure how to deal with such a new-age obsession, you're not alone. "There's certainly never been anything as readily available, stigma-free and addictive as video games — except maybe Monday Night Football." Fox says. Jp five things a gamer's significant other never wants to hear 1. "My guildmates want you to say something on my mic during raid tonight so they know you're is real." 2. "No, I can't pause this! Two more kills and I get a chopper gunnet!" 3. "Want to go on World Tour with me and my new Rock Band tonight? I'll let you be the singer!" 4. "Get down! Get down! ... Oh no, not you, baby, my lieutenant was about to get trapped." 5. "For your birthday I got you an Xbox 360 Elite Resident Evil Limited Edition console with 120 GB of memory. It was only $350. I just couldn't pass up that kind of a deal — it's an investment." 7 03 04 10 ★ FEATURE BEYOND THE PILL Alternatives to the most popular form of birth control abound, and may include better options for some // WORDS BY ADAM VOSSEN // PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY ADAM BUHLER x The power of touch. The topical patch, branded in the U.S. as OthetiaEva, releases the hormones estrogen and progestin into the bloodstream to prevent ovulation. It is one of many alternatives to the hormonal pill form of birth control, which some women choose not to take because of potential side effects or because it has to be taken at the same time daily. The pill remains the most popular form of hormonal birth control. No forms of hormonal birth control protect against sexually transmitted infections A 03 04 10 fter using the pill off and on since she was 16, Britta Homelvig was tired of the nausea, the weight gain, the intense mood swings and the high levels of estrogen. When she was 21, Homelvig, Salina senior, made the decision to go off of the hormonal birth control pill. and explore new birth control options. According to the most recent data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2002, the pill is the leading method of contraception among women ages 15 to 29. But according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the pill's possible side effects include high blood pressure, nausea, heart attack, weight gain, changes in mood and changes in cycle. The pill works using hormones to trick a woman's body into thinking it's pregnant. Some versions of the pill have both progestin and estrogen, called combination pills. Other versions have just progestin. These hormones stop a woman's ovaries from releasing eggs as well as thicken the cervical mucus. This mucus blocks the sperm from joining with an egg. The combination pills are most common, says Carol Johnson, obstetrician and gynecologist at Watkins Health Center. The combination pills provide a more complete feedback mechanism to control the pituitary gland's hormone production. To be most effective, the pill has to be taken at the same time every day. If a progestin-only pill is skipped, there is a higher chance for ovulation to begin than if a combination pill is skipped, Johnson says. Progestin-only pills have a higher rate of breakthrough bleeding whereas the combination pill has side effects such as blood clotting or stroke. The FDA alone lists 15 alternatives to the pill. Some are more relevant for college students than others, however. Several have lower rates of pregnancy than the pill. No birth control method other than condoms prevent sexually transmitted infections. IMPLANTABLE ROD After going off of the pill, Homelvig chose Implanon as her birth control method. Doctors implant this matchstick-sized rod into her arm to release progestin to prevent ovulation. It is made of a thin, flexible plastic and protects against pregnancy for as many as three years. About one out of 100 women a year will become pregnant using this method of birth control. Although the rod is progestin-only, the level of progestin that it releases remains constant and provides a more stable form of birth control than the progestin-only pill. "Insert it and forget it," says Larry Nibbelink, obstetrician and gynecologist at Associates for Female Care in Kansas City, Kan. The case of use is the one of best qualities of Implanon, the brand name for the rod, Homelvig says. She prefers it because she isn't stressed out by remembering to take her pill at the same time every day. The cost of the implantable rod can range from $400 to $800 when it is inserted, but as Homelvg points out, that cost equals roughly the cost of the pill for the three-year period that Implanon is effective. Homelvg describes the implantation procedure, which 8 FEATURE ★ doesn't require an incision, as painless with only some slight soreness the day after. The rod can be removed at any time and pregnancy can happen any time after this. The implantable rod does have some possible side effects, including acne, weight gain, mood changes, depression, hair loss, upset stomach and dizziness, according to the FDA. Homelvig, however, has had none of these. She has actually lost weight since starting Implanon almost a year ago, and her moods remain stable — one aspect of birth control that was important to her. INTRAUTERINE DEVICE After the pill, the intrauterine device (IUD) is one of the most popular forms of birth control. Nibbelink says. An IUD is a T-shaped device small enough to be inserted into a woman's uterus. There are two brands of IUDs: ParaGard and Mirena. The Paragard IUD contains copper and works for 12 years; it does not change a woman's hormone levels. Mirena releases the hormone progestin to prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs. Both of these options also affect sperm movement, according to Planned Parenthood. The IUD stops sperm from connecting with an egg. IUDs are most commonly prescribed to women who have already been pregnant because the device fits better in a uterus of a woman who has already had a child. Nibbelink says. They are inserted vaginally and removed by a doctor. Planned Parenthood says the IUD is the least expensive long-term and reversible kind of birth control available. The total cost for the medical exam, IUD. insertion of the IUD and follow-up visits can range from $175 to $650 for the five- or 12-year-period of the IUD's effectiveness. "For people who like to be a little more spontaneous with their sexual activity it's nice because there's no planning that needs to be in place," says Jenny McKee, health educator for Watkins Health Center. "You don't have to worry about condoms or putting in your diaphragm or taking a pill or a patch or a ring or anything. It's just in there." The IUD is most recommended for people in monogamous relationships, she says. The IUD is just as effective as sterilization surgery but is easily reversed. McKee says. Less than one in 100 women will become pregnant while using the IUD, according to the FDA. The Mirena IUD can reduce cramps during menstruation and make menstruation lighter, sometimes by nearly 90 percent, according to Planned Parenthood. Once an IUD is removed, a woman can quickly regain the ability to become pregnant. The copper IUD lasts longer and costs less than the hormonal IUD. Some women prefer the hormone-free copper version either because they have a clotting disorder or because they have had adverse reactions to hormones in the past. Johnson says. However, periods can be heavier and cause more cramps than the IUD with progestin. Johnson says that the amount of progestin absorbed systemically from Mirena seems to be very small so effects such as weight gain and mood changes are not as great. Some negative side effects include possible increased cramping and bleeding between periods, pelvic infection upon initial insertion of the IUD, a change in sexual interest or change in periods. CONTRACEPTIVE RING After stressing about taking the pill at the right time each day for almost three years, Cassie Hollmann was tired of the headache, nausea, and general discomfort she experienced if she took the pill at another time. Hollmann, Overland Park graduate student, switched to a contraceptive ring, branded as NuvaRing, when her doctor suggested the alternative. NuvaRing is probably the best option of birth control for a college student who's never been pregnant. Nibbelink says, stressing that it is probably the easiest to use. NuvaRing is a small ring worn for 21 days and then removed for 7 days for the period. "For people who like to be a little more spontaneous with their sexual activity, it's nice because there's no planning that needs to be in place." — Jenny McKee, health care educator for Watkins Health Center, on IUDs It releases the hormones estrogen and progestin to prevent pregnancy, much like the pill. According to Planned Parenthood, less than one out of 100 women who use contraceptive rings will get pregnant each year if they use it as directed. Depending on your health insurance, the cost can range from $15 to $50 a month. Hollmann pays more for NuvaRing than she did for the pill, but she says for her, it's worth it. "For me it feels safer than the pill because there's no way I'm going to mess it up," she says. Some women aren't comfortable with the invasive nature of NuvaRing, McKee says. Hollmann says NuvaRing has worked well for her, but she does know some women who experience weight gain and discomfort from the ring. Hollmann takes dance classes and works out on a regular basis and her ring has never fallen out. The ring has also never caused her any problems during sex, a concern she hears often about NuvaRing. Hollmann has been in a relationship for more than four years and discussed her switch to NuvaRing with her boyfriend. He was fine with the choice, and neither of them say they've noticed the ring during sex. SHOT/INJECTION The birth control shot injects the hormone progestin into the body. It lasts for three months. The brand name for the shot is Depo-Provera and costs $35 to $75 per injection. About one in 100 women who use the shot as a method of contraception will become pregnant. Unable to use a form of birth control with estrogen, Cait, Cheney sophomore, uses the shot. Cait likes the shot because she no longer has a period and has not experienced any of the negative side effects. Receiving the shot every three months is less of a hassle for her than remembering to take the pill every day. Risks include a decrease in bone density, increased risk of depression and headaches. These risks can last six to eight months after the last shot is administered. McKee says. The return to fertility can be delayed for up to a year. The shot is used most commonly for girls in their mid-teens. Nibbelink says. He is not big fan of prescribing Depo-Provera to patients older than their teens because of complaints of irregular bleeding and weight gain. Although the weight gain is usually around five pounds. Nibbelink has seen patients gain up to 60 pounds in a year while receiving Depo-Provera shots. The side effects are not as pervasive for patients in their mid-teens. SKIN PATCH An adhesive patch that is applied weekly for three weeks and then removed for a week. OrthoEvra, the patch's brand name, releases both estrogen and progestin into the body to stop ovulation. The FDA states that five out of 100 women will become pregnant while using the patch. For women who weigh more than 200 pounds the patch can be less effective. Because it can be applied by the woman using the patch, it is less invasive and it can be more convenient than the other forms of contraception that require the assistance of a doctor. McKee says. Its other benefits include decrease in acne, less painful cramps, protection against iron deficiency and ovarian cysts. However, the woman wearing the patch is at risk for exposure to higher levels of estrogen than the pill, Johnson says, and clotting can be more common. Nausea, depression, and heart attack could also be risks. PROBLEMS WITH THE PILL Forgetting to take the pill on a regimented schedule is the number one problem according to these college women. This slip of the mind causes nausea and decreases the pill's effectiveness. Irritability, mood swings, yeast infections, irregular bleeding, weight gain and acne are the most troublesome side effects for college-aged women and can be the most common side effects of the pill. Although the pill is easy to access and other options may seem odd, they can be better fits for your life and health and deserve to be considered. Jp THE OLD STANDARD Though all of the forms of contraception discussed here help prevent pregnancy, none protect from sexually transmitted infections. Latex condoms are the best protection against STIs (other than abstinence). The most recent statistics from a 2002 survey by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention show that among men ages 15 to 44, 29.5 percent used a condom the last time they had sex. Combining condoms with spermicide increases the rate of protection even more, says Larry Nibbelink, obstetrician and gynecologist at Associates for Female Care in Kansas City, Kan. Spermicide contains chemicals that stop the movement of sperm. Creamis, film, foams, gels and supporitories (an easily melted medicated mass for insertion into the rectum, urethra, or vagina) are the different available types of spermicides. Spermicides are most useful when used with another form of contraception such as male condom, female condom or diaphragm. PULLING OUT Long the papal preference and the bane of sexual educators, the "withdrawal method" is actually the third most popular form of contraception of college students during intercourse according to the 2006 National College Health Assessment. Sex is more pleasurable without a condom, says Dan, St. Louis junior. Dan has used pulling out as a form of contraception and would rather risk it than using a condom. He says he relies on pulling out when no condom is available. "Granted it's not one of the safest (methods), but people get caught in the moment and don't think about the repercussions of their actions." Dan says. People often use this method because of moral or religious beliefs that prevent any use of contraception, says Jenny McKee, health educator for Watkins Health Center. It provides no protection against STIs. By pulling the penis out before orgasm, pregnancy can be prevented, though effectiveness is debatable, because some sperm may be released before ejaculation. Planned Parenthood says that of every 100 couples who use withdrawal correctly, four will become pregnant. Done incorrectly, 27 out of 100 will become pregnant. Pulling out is a method that takes a lot more control and has a lot higher risk, says Carol Johnson, M.D., obstetrician and gynecologist at Watkins Health Center. Planned Parenthood advises that only monogamous couples who are comfortable with each and know their sexual limits well should use pulling out. 9 03 04 10 SPRING BREAK 2010 B.Y.O.B.* (*Build Your Own Bikini*) Get 10% OFF and FREE 2nd-Day Shipping Coupon Code: KU swim spot.com Designer Swimwear.

You win some, you lose some. The same life mantra can applied in the gambling game of Chatroulette — a virtual conversation with a complete stranger. I had only heard rumors of the website from friends, (one of whom chatted up John Mayer) and decided to brave the odds and stare the webcam in the face. Chatroulette.com was created by Andrey Ternovskiy, a 17-year-old Russian high school student. He says he created the site for fun, and had no intention of making a profit. The site now gets more than 20,000 unique visitors a day. Chatroulette's display features two stacked video screens with room for a chat conversation on the right. Providing that both the camera and microphone are enabled, you can literally have a face-to-face conversation with a randomly generated stranger. My first luck of the draw was a guy with a Scram mask wearing a Viking hat. The bad thing about Chatroulette? A perfectly good idea gets abused by pervers who think seeing reactions to nudity and other obscene images onscreen is hilarious. For the sake of Jayplay, I continued on. You can disconnect from your partner by promptly hitting "next," or wait to be "next-ed" yourself. I tended to take this personally. Next, I ran into a few guys from France mixing their own music at 2 a.m., who admitted that they were, in fact, normal. Also included in the normal category, after perusing quickly through too many penises, was Jake, a University of Pittsburgh student Chatrouletteing at work. He worked for a company called Telefact — a sort of KU Info, randomly answering the phone while we chatted. He says it's a great way to pass the time when being on a computer for hours. If you can look past the creepers and potential predators on Chatroulette, it really is a great and entertaining invention. I got to talk to people across the country and at different colleges. One DJ from West Hollywood told me he found Chatroulette addictive, saying he could talk to people all over the world as if they were his closest friends. I did, in fact, keep wanting to press the "next" button, curious to see who else was out there. True to the style and setup of the site, not all of the strangers are "winners."

Ki-Aikido is a defense-based martial art intended to redirect the momentum of an attacker and do minimal harm, primarily through the use of throws and wristlocks. Resist your urge to retaliate and follow Gasper's instructions to performing a simple wristlock during a frontal attack. 1. When your attacker advances towards you, spin away from him to one side and end up facing his direction. 2. Grab the wrist nearest to you and twist the arm palm up. 3. Maintaining a firm hold on the wrist, use your other hand to pull the attacker's fingers toward the inside of his wrist so that his hand is bent in and fingers point to the inside of the elbow. 4. Continue pulling the attacker's fingers so that his elbow bends and his hand goes past his shoulder and pulls his body towards the floor. This move catches your attacker off guard and gives you the element of surprise. It works by throwing him off balance and inflicting pain by stretching tendons in the arm, but causes no actual damage. Using a technique as simple as this can do minimal harm to your attacker and let you escape a dangerous situation. // EMILY JOHNSON Judo Contributed photo Takedown: Mark Gasper, president of the kr-Aikido Club, says wristlocks are an easy-to-perform self-defense move.

Esquina. 801 Massachusetts St., lives up to all the hype as the Burger Stand's new, Mexican-themed off-chute. Its feature is tacos — seven soft bombshells that each channel "fresh" in their own way. The pork and pineapple one has a taste that is straight from the Burger Stand, 623 Vermont St. The fish taco frequently changes. My edition had Walu with a Thai-flavored sauce, as if it was from Zen Zero. And a few of them are sprinkled with chopped almonds, giving each bite a subtle snap. The chips are salty and the queso, considering its menu description, was surprisingly tame both in spiciness and flavor.

When I first saw the menu I feared the tacos would be tiny, but I was pleasantly surprises. They are affordable and substantial. The service is also excellent, and after the order-and-pay jig at the beginning, they don't want you getting up for anything else. All in all, Esquina successfully replaces the Cheese Shop as downtown's go-to place to get quality food, fast. ★ ★ ★ // JACOB MUSELMANN lemon bliss spa facials body treatments massage NOW OPEN Manicures and Pedicures Coming Soon call for appointments Buy one month of Bliss unlimited tanning for $80, and get one month free FREE 2 Hour Valet Parking 1200 Oread Avenue www.theoread.com 785-830-3908 $2 wells + pizza from slice of history available for purchase Entrance on Indiana Street CELEBRATE THURSDAY IN STYLE $2 wells 1200 Oread Ave. 785-843-1200 (located inside The Oread) www.theoread.com CAVE CAVE OPEN THURSDAY - SATURDAY 03 14 04 10 DOORS OPEN 9PM SPEAK BACK- STAGE PASS T-Mobile sidekick presents THE RETURN OF 96.5 FBUZZ BEACHBALL blink-182 special guests weezer TAKING BACK SUNDAY THE VON BONDIES CHESTER FRENCH Company Threes second stage: MATT&KIM The Republic Tigers SELLSTORM MAC LETHAL BILLY BOY ON FOSH CAPITOL FEDERAL PARK @SANDSTONE 603 March 1,20min St - Bonner Springs, #15 FRIDAY SEPT. 4 ALL ACCESS Fueled by nostalgia and peer pressure, I broke into the VIP area of my dream concert // LESLIE KINSMAN L last September, I was sitting in Spanish class, bumming about how I wasn't going to be able to go to Beach Ball, a concert Kansas City radio station 96.5 The Buzz throws every year. Last year, it was at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Bonner Springs. I did not have the money to go consequently missing out on a much-needed dose of nostalgia. Not only was Blink-182 headlining the show that night, Weezer and Taking Back Sunday were playing as well. I'd been a loyal fan to all three of the bands since I was in middle school and had never gotten a chance to see any of them perform. Contributed photo I was finishing up my last class of the day, when I noticed a text from my roommate. "We're going to Blink." I picked her up at the Union later that afternoon. As she entered the car, an impressive grin spread across her face as she handed me a warm, newly laminated pass. "Are we really going to do this?" I asked. "We might as well try," she said. "What's the worst thing that could happen?" And with a shrug, I accepted her dare. The nerves wouldn't set in until later that night. My roommate was always the instigator — resourceful, ruthless and bold. This wasn't the first time I had submitted to one of her plans. "What do you mean, we're going to Blink?" I asked. "Pick me up at the Union after your class and I'll explain," she said. Apparently, while I was on campus all day, she was busy creating phony VIP passes for us. She found a photo from a local DJ's Twitter page, who had posted a snapshot of herself sporting her VIP pass for the show that night. My roommate took the photo from the internet and tweaked them in Photoshop, to where they looked almost identical to the DJ's pass. Illicit access: Writer Leslie Krisman and her roommate taked this back-stage pass and managed to sneak into a VIF area of a Kansas City Bink-182 concert last year. We hit the road and arrived at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater about an hour later. The sun was setting and we could already feel the energy from the crowd. We hurried through the parking lot and tested our passes at the front gate: Piece of cake. Next we moved to the private seating section and made it through effortlessly. Each event worker let us through after inspecting our passes, either convinced enough by them or too indifferent to inspect them more thoroughly. One guard even offered us VIP wristbands. "Why didn't you get these at the front gate?" he asked. We strategically placed ourselves behind the crew members, not speaking a word to each other, communicating only with stealthy smirks and an occasional eye glance. I thought our presence alone was screaming "out of place" but we were able to watch Weezer's entire set, quietly tucked away in the corner of the side stage. Halfway through the set, I realized I hadn't even looked directly at the crowd yet, for fear of being spotted. I We accepted the wristbands and gave each other glances of giddy excitement. We had made it past the guards. There was one obstacle left for us — the main stage. We weaved our way through the front of the crowd, dodging crowd-surfers and pit-rioters as they danced to Taking Back Sunday, until we reached a staircase that led up to the front stage. My roommate grabbed my hand and gave me a determined look that said, "We're doing this. It's now or never." With that, she marched up the steps and handed the security guard her VIP pass. In a glimpse, she was past the guard and looking back at me to make my move. I held my breath as I slowly stepped up the stairs. I tried my best to slow my breathing and maintain a vague expression. Just after he let my roommate pass, he gave me a nod in the direction of the stage. We had made it. turned my body slightly and felt an overwhelming exhilaration from the crowd. It felt too good to be true. I was looking out at the thousands of people at the venue, knowing that I had pulled off getting backstage. Weezer finished their show and left the stage. Suddenly everyone who occupied the stage was moving, so my roommate and I felt the need to look busy as well. We decided to seclude ourselves behind the 20 buses parked near the stage. We briskly walked behind the stage into the private parking lot off-limits to regular fans. Prior to this night, I had always been prohibited from this area by security guards and a 10-foot fence. We sat in anticipation on a piece of dewy grass in the dark, the moonlight illuminating the silver tour buses, until we heard the shrieks of the crowd about 30 minutes later. Blink-182 must have taken the stage. My roommate and I discreetly found the same spot as earlier, while the band began playing "What's My Age Again." Blink-182 performed as if they hadn't aged a bit since they took the music scene a decade ago, bouncing up and down and screaming juvenile profanities into the roaring crowd. We noticed a couple of toddlers running around and were convinced they were one of the band member's, I felt out of my element and a little invasive, but I knew I wasn't doing much harm. We were able to watch the first four songs until a security guard we hadn't seen before asked us for an additional pass besides the lanyard. Since we hadn't anticipated this wrinkle, my roommate and I gave in and made our way down the stairs back into the crowd of concert-goers. Since my freshman year, I've been an accomplice to my friends in breaking the rules for the sake of music. We've tested authority, schmooed bartenders into staying open after last call and swooned "merch-boys" into meeting us at the bar next door after their show, all to make a face to-face connection and interact with bands we've grown to idolize over the years. And although we didn't get to meet Blink-182 or any of the bands that night, we got to experience the show from a different perspective than anyone in the crowd. Out of all the shenanigans I've pulled with my friends during my college years, this was by far the biggest of all our antics. It was my biggest breach of concert authority, but that's not the point. Just the possibility that we might have met Blink-182 that night was the motivation behind our rebellion isn't that what rock 'n roll is all about? 15 --- WEEKLY SPECIALS Sun · M · T · W · Th · F · Sat · WEEKLY SPECIALS Sun · M · T · W · Th · F · Sat Legal Services for Students and the UDK urge students to be responsible: use SafeBus or SafeRide!

Margaret Frederick, wife of the late Bob Frederick, who served as a professor and athletic director, filed the lawsuit in Douglas County District Court Wednesday. The suit claims the city and the utility company were negligent in not properly repairing the damaged pavement that caused Bob Frederick's cycling accident. On June Frederick Fredenick 12. 2009, Bob and another cyclist were riding near the intersection of Sixth and Kasold streets when his bike hit a hole in the pavement. The uneven pavement was a result of construction on a gas line that Black Hills had recently finished. Frederick later died from severe head trauma at KU Medical Center. The lawsuit, which asks for at least $75,000 in damages, claims it was Black Hills' duty to fully repair the damage and warn bicyclists of holes, just as it was the city's duty to inspect the work of companies that work on city roadways. The pothole was repaired the day after the accident. Margaret Frederick said she filed the suit to help protect other cyclists in Lawrence. "After a lot of thought and investigation, our family determined that this was an avoidable tragedy that could have been prevented," she said in a prepared statement. "To prevent another family from having to experience what we've endured, and to improve safety for bicyclists and drivers in Lawrence, we want to make sure that the entities responsible for creating that hazard are held accountable." Read the complete lawsuit document at kansan.com The suit states that the defendants' negligence deprived the Frederick family of Bob Frederick's companionship and the defendants are required to fund medical treatment and funeral expenses. It also alleges that negligence caused Frederick to suffer "great physical, mental and emotional pain, anguish and fear" between the time of the A representative of Black Hills Energy said they were deeply saddened when they heard of Mr. Frederick's death, but would not comment on pending litigation. accident and his death Lynn Johnson, one of the attorneys representing the Frederick family, said Black Hills should be held accountable for the hole. Johnson also reiterated the family's intentions with the suit. "The family is pursuing this because it's an accident that should have been prevented and they want to make sure it doesn't happen to anybody else," Johnson said. Edited by Taylor Bern HEALTH Watching what you wheat Mandi Chervitz, a senior from St. Louis, didn't know she was gluten intolerant until her sophomore year in college in 2007. She said she was having bad reactions after every meal and tried to cut different things out of her diet, but nothing seemed to work. "I had become a vegetarian and began eating all these sandwiches," Chervitz said. "I didn't know you could actually be allergic to bread." Gluten is a kind of protein found in grains such as wheat, rye and barley, and is a major ingredient in breads, pastries, cakes and cookies because it adds texture and shape to baked products. It's even found in most beers. Because it's found in so many foods, Chervitz said, the only foods she can get on campus without gluten are salads, sushi and small items such as chips and fries. In recent years, more and more "gluten-free" products seem to have been sprouting up in restaurants and grocery stores, but gluten itself isn't harmful, at least according to the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA lists the ten intolerance, also known as celiac sprue, eating gluten causes a host of side effects, ranging from diarrhea to mouth sores, according to the Celiac Sprue Association. protein as GRAS - Generally Recognized As Safe.

Chalkings have started to pop up across campus and mini-events are taking place to raise money and awareness for the April 10 event. Dance Marathon is a non-profit student organization that raises money and awareness for Children's Miracle Network, which funds children's hospitals in northeast Kansas. Leanna Mooney, a sophomore from Overland Park, said members this week were encouraged to get the word out about Dance Marathon by changing their Facebook statuses and profile pictures. Alex Ross, a sophomore from Chicago and executive director of KU Dance Marathon, said there are several smaller events throughout the year such as trivia nights, letter writing parties, and the Karving-4-Kids Pumpkin Patch leading up to the actual Dance Marathon on April 10. Isaiah Cordona, a sophomore from Lawrence and director of public relations for Dance Marathon, said anyone can participate in Dance Marathon. Participants are expected to raise at least $150 each and the deadline to sign up is April 9. Cordona said the organization's goal is to raise $50,000. Because sponsors cover the event costs, all the money goes directly to Children's Miracle Network. Last year 200 people participated and raised about $20,000. Ross said this year the goal is to have 350 participants and already 111 have registered and raised over $6,000. Organizers are working behind the-scenes to make the marathon more a more meaningful experience. Mooney is a member of the family relations committee and she said they get to work personally with the families helped by Children's Miracle Network. Friday afternoon, she will be attending the KU baseball game with one of the families. Mooney said they are currently trying to get 20 families to come to the actual marathon to share their stories. "We try to make really good relations with the families beforehand so that when they come they are comfortable and know that we don't just want to hand them money, but we actually want to help them," Mooney said. There will be an informational meeting for those who would like to participate in the Dance Marathon on Tuesday, March 9, in Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union.

She has discovered that often the best solution to pass time on campus is a date with a bench. But O'Neil, a sophomore from Topeka, doesn't choose just any campus surface to people watch, listen to music, or visit with friends — she goes to the benches of Wescoe Beach, the popular leisure destination on campus. Of course, the "beach" itself lacks real sand, but that doesn't stop the large strip of cement on the north side of Wescoe Hall from fostering a relaxing environment. Though Wescoe Hall was not officially complete until 1974, its central location along Jayhawk Blvd. put it close to several important campus locations including Strong and Budig Halls. Before the area was called the beach, Sally DeMoss, a 1971 graduate, remembered people from every background being active in the area. "It was such an exciting time at the University, with the hippie movement and anti-war protests, not to mention the Union burning." DeMoss said. Once the beach was constructed, people took over the location, some achieving celebrity status by being regulars. One of the most well-known visitors was the Tan Man, as students affectionately dubbed him, who would talk to students on the east side of the building. Former Wescoe employee Marsha Bell remembers the obsession the University had with him and said everyone knew him. "He would sit on the beach and talk to everybody, wearing just his shorts and his athletic shoes," Bell said. "He never wore a shirt, regardless if it was winter or the dead of summer." Recent students have interacted with White Owl, who has frequented the beach with his trademark long, white beard and flamboyant enthusiasm. O'Neil said she was O'Neil said she was late to class one day because of White Owl's antics. While some enjoy spending time at the beach watching the local celebrities it creates, others find solace in the contrasting environments between hallways and outside settings. "The special thing about Wescoe was "The special thing about Wescoe was that it was a dark and weird building inside, but the beach was bright and airy." "He went up to a guy who was playing guitar and asked him if he could borrow it," O'Neil said. "He started putting on a little show, singing, dancing, and I decided that I had to stay and watch."

Decades later, the beach continues to make an impression on "I like to watch everyone else suffer through school while I sit by the flowers," she said. Edited by Megan Heacock NOTICE ANYTHING NEW?

LAWRENCE Help bash 'tiger'car for Humane Society BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com If you see a crowd swinging a sledge hammer at a car painted like a tiger in a parking lot this weekend, don't worry. It's just a benefit for the Lawrence Humane Society, Wayne & Larry's, 933 Iowa St. will host the Beat the Tiger benefit Saturday. For a dollar people will have the chance to take a swing at a '92 Ford Taurus a few hours before the Kansas and Missouri basketball game. All money raised from the event will go to the Lawrence Humane Society, Shawn Hogan, general manager at Wayne & Larry's, said his love for animals was what made him want to do a benefit for the Lawrence Humane Society. "It's our way of raising money for a good cause while taking our hatred out on Missouri," Hogan said.

But Tony Blair promised Thursday to give the public intimate insight into his Publisher Random House paid an estimated 5 million pounds ($7.5 million) for Blair's personal account of his time in power, after a bidding war that Washington literary power-broker Robert Barnett described as among the most fierce in memory. decade as British Prime Minister when his much anticipated memoir, "The Journey," is published in September. "I have tried to write a book which describes the human as much as the political dimensions of life as prime minister," Blair said in a statement. "Though necessarily retrospective, it is an attempt to inform and shape current and future thinking as much as a historical account of the past." The book will be closely read for revelations about the push to war in Iraq, tense negotiations to win peace in Northern Ireland and Blair's sometime troubled relationship with Brown, who succeeded him as leader in 2007. In being published in September, Blair's autobiography won't appear before Britain's next national election — likely to be held on May 6. Blair won three straight election victories for his Labour Party from 1997.

MARIAM SAIFAN Politically Correct: Should the government be allowed to use torture when security is threatened? Liberal Loudmouth BY BEN COHEN The question that really needs to be asked when considering the U.S.'s use of torture is "What are we actually accomplishing?" Supporters of institutionalized torture, which is occasionally referred to as "enhanced interrogation," say it is a pivotal tool in combating terrorism. But how? The most common argument in favor of torture is the famous "ticking-time bomb" scenario. This is where there is some kind of impending threat, and the only way it can be stopped is if information about it is extracted by somebody who will only talk if tortured. Follow that? It's the show "24," in policy form. If we use this as the basis for allowing torture, I believe we should also train a crack squad of Jack Bauers to properly carry it out. Jokes aside, there is a reason people oppose torture. It is a barbaric practice that does not take human decency into account, regardless of the reason. If we as a country truly value human rights then we cannot violate them for anyone. I've never met somebody who didn't cringe at horror stories from any military conflict about prisoners tortured for information. Torture is given as an example of why a side can be considered "the bad guys." This is the way many people around the world feel about torture. So why, if we want to be seen as the ultimate example of a just nation, would we condone it? Do we gain enough beneficial information to truly justify it? I just don't think it's realistic. Political Planet JONATHAN In our national security discourse, the debate about interrogation has often been framed as either "Should we or should we not torture?" or "What does or doesn't constitute torture?" Unfortunately absent from this discussions is much mention of international human rights language. Cohen is a senior from Topeka in political science BY DEVIN LOWELL dlowell@kansan.com In failing to consider these ideas, both Democrats and Republicans are ignoring the important role America has in defining this language and are instead trading human rights for partisan bragging rights. Article Five of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads, "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." Notice that it doesn't read "no soldier," or "no U.S. citizen." And yet, here we are, with people detained by the U.S. being rhetorically and literally stripped of their humanity. Politicians talk about "detainees" and "enemy combatants," using dehumanizing language to justify to their actions, other's inhuman treatment of others and the use of humans as political bludgeons against the opposing party. No matter what crime they've committed or what we call them, the people sitting in Guantanamo and elsewhere are human beings. Some are guilty of international crimes and some might know actionable intelligence. But torture, or any act that could be considered torture, should never be employed. Human civilization, led by the U.S., once agreed to never commit these kinds of acts, no matter the political situation. How quickly we forget. The Right Idea TOM KIRKMAN BY CHET COMPTON Lowell is a senior from Concordia in journalism and political science Let's face it, national security has taken a backseat under President Obama. All he cares about is passing ObamaCare. National security is being treated just like all other issues: as a nuisance. Is it any wonder Democrats are perceived as weak on national security? But, unfortunately for the commander in chief, the issue must be dealt with. So his strategy for keeping America safe is to release captured terrorists from the detention facility built specifically to house such enemies, move them to a town near you, interrogate the U.S. service members that were in charge of interrogating the terrorists and grant the same rights to the terrorists as would be granted to American citizens. Then there was the "underpants bomber" on Christmas Eve. This was a real chance for the administration to prove it takes seriously the job of keeping us safe. But what was its reaction? After only 50 minutes of interrogation, Attorney General Eric Holder ordered the foreign terrorist be given a right to remain silent and a right to an attorney. Guess what happened? The suspect stopped giving our intelligence agencies information Janet Napolitano will be remembered as the homeland security secretary who said "the system worked" just after the attack nearly killed 300 people. Obama refused to speak of the nature of the enemy, which is jihadism. He was unwilling to acknowledge what every American understood was reality. National security is a matter of life and death and the American people want a commander in chief to demonstrate seriousness. Who is Politically Correct?

ORGANIC HEALTH A green spring break In one week, KU students will embark on spring break activities, whether it be basking in the sun on a sandy beach or skiing down the slopes in Colorado. Others, like myself, will be staying at home or taking short road trips. No matter what the activity may be, everyone can and should be green during spring break. Just because school is out of session for a week does not mean that pollution stops. But that also doesn't mean that plans need to be canceled. While on whatever adventure, just follow a few simple tips that will make spring break a little healthier for the environment and, in many cases, a little more fun. Be sure to start spring break off right. Do not just throw everything into a suitcase. Instead, pack efficiently and include eco-friendly items. For example, pack reusable bottles of shampoo and other body products that can easily be refilled for future vacations. Bring a reusable water bottle to avoid creating waste from packs of plastic bottles. For vacationers traveling to places with unsafe drinking water, still take a water bottle. Chances are the hotel provides filtered water for a small fee. Remember to pack a towel or two for the bathroom and for the beach, if that is your destination. These can be reused throughout the whole trip instead of wasting the loads of towels that hotels typically provide daily. Just be sure to tell the staff that there is no need to replenish the hotel room with towels. Organically Speaking Another essential item, for all spring breakers—beachgoers and snow bunnies alike—is sunscreen. Many sunscreens, such as the Banana Boat sunscreen from childhood, contain petroleum derivatives. This means that when lathering on that SPF 35, sunbathers are covering themselves with ingredients that are derived from the same chemical used for gasoline. These derivatives, which include propylene Mariana Martínez BY RACHEL SCHWARTZ Once your bags are all packed and you reach your destination, sit back and relax. But, remember to stay green. and paraffin oil, can clog pores, irritate eyes and even cause blood disorders or pulmonary edema. So instead of absent-mindedly packing the Banana Boat, use organic sunscreen brands such as "Kiss My Face" or "Badger." Although these products are not 100 percent organic, they are better than the completely nonorganic alternatives. One way to do this is by walking or biking throughout vacation, instead of taking buses, cars or cabs. This is healthy for the environment and allows for a little exercise too, which means more guiltless overindulging. Speaking of indulging, eating and drinking can be green too. Dinegreen.com provides a list of "environmentally responsible" restaurants in nearly every state. Restaurants on the list meet certain criteria, including water efficiency, sustainable foods and reusable utensils. For those whose spring break ventures may include parties, bars or just casual drinking there are even green tips for drinks. Bars at some hotels offer organic beverages. One brand of organic alcohol, "Square One" organic vodka, can be found at restaurants, bars and stores across the country. Following those guidelines can add new, organic spice to any spring break adventure. And, being environmentally friendly ensures many more clean and green spring breaks in the future. Schwartz is a sophomore from Leawood in journalism. How to define the value of marriage LETTER TO THE EDITOR In his latest column, Mr. Cohen complains, "marriage is being cheapened by drive-through chapels and high divorce rates." He also states, "all laws regarding marriage" constitute "legislating morality." These two statements lead to the question "What is the value of marriage?" Mr. Cohen says, "The protection of marriage is, in itself, commendable. Two people attempting to commit their lives to each other is a nice concept." But why would any society enact laws merely to enforce a "nice concept"? We know the birds and the bees. Without this boon of nature we would not be here. Marriage has always governed the circumstances in which the union between man and woman, and its subsequent offspring are nourished. Would parents want a man to abandon their daughter after he sires her child? This is considered a burden on society; law says that men who sire children are required by law to give child support. Still, child-support alone is not a sustainable norm for society. Marriage answers this problem. It is natural that parents raise their children together, providing them their necessities. This is the bedrock on which Mr. Cohen does not seem to acknowledge he stands. Children will come with or without marriage, but men should not be beasts who leave once their pleasure has been had. They should be pointed to marriage, under whose auspices society has been sustained The question we need to ask ourselves now is whether we consider marriage to be an institution that maintains this value.

"How do you get to the free throw line? You go in transition, you offensive board and you drive it. They do those three things really well." Against the Cornhuskers, the Jayhawks relinquished 44 points in the paint, but even those were usually contested. As for the free throws, by rule, no player stands in your way between the hoop and a line 15 feet away. They call it the charity strike for a reason. To allow 30 attempts, regardless of how many are converted. equates to sloppy, careless defense. Nebraska sunk 24 of them and Kansas lost the game by 25 points. The Jayhawks, on the other hand, only attempted nine free throws. more than the entire Kansas team. "How do you get to the free throw line? You go in transition,you offensive board and you drive it. They do those three things really well." "Our defense creates our offense," Griffin said. "That attacking mentality has created the ability for us to get to the line." After losing six of its past seven games, including two consecutive beat-downs by an average of 24 points, Kansas' NCAA tournament chances seem slim. The Jayhawks are 5-10 in the conference and 15-13 overall, and seem to hold the resume of a WNIT team rather than a potential tournament at-large seed. Nebraska senior Kelsey Griffin and junior Dominique Kelley led their team in scoring, with 18 and 16 points respectively. The duo also combined to shoot 10 free throws, one BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas Coach Unless t h a w e jayhawks can catch fire in the Big 12 tour nament or make a commanding statement against the Aggies, a postseason reflecting underachievement awaits At the beginning of the season, Kansas was ranked second in the conference's preseason poll. It featured an offensive juggernaut with McCray and freshman guard Angel Goodrich. The Jayhawks jumped out to a 12-2 start and seemed poised for an NCAA tournament run. To read more about Kansas game against Texas A&M on Saturday, check out Kansan.com Since that time, both McCray and Goodrich were lost to season-ending ACL injuries and Kansas has gone 3-11, likely losing its shot at the tournament. Wednesday's loss against Nebraska was the affirmation: the 2009-2010 season, for the most part, was a disappointment. "I'd be hard for Danielle to sit and watch that," Henrickson said after the game of the injured McCray. "I thought it kind of bothered her tonight. She hasn't really had that look on her face and she looked sad tonight, I don't know if she got caught up in their senior night and recognized that hers is coming and she's going to sit and watch that one too." — Edited by Cory Bunting McCray's senior season ended prematurely with a torn ACL in her left knee, but her legacy was never tarnished. She will walk away from her collegiate career as one of the greatest to ever don the crimson and blue. Guard Danielle McCray While there is much to it, the proof can be found in the numbers alone. 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 and preseason Big 12 player of the year averaged 19.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season. In her junior year, she led the Jayhawks to the WNIT championship game. Guard Sade Morris Kansas will honor five seniors at Saturday's 7 p.m. game against Texas A&M After graduation and healing her knee, McCray will look to move her game to the professional level in the WNBA. When Morris walks out of Allen Fieldhouse for the last time following Saturday's game against Texas A&M, she will leave behind the place where she accomplished many of the major milestones in her career. In a Nov. 22 victory against Michigan, Morris lit up the scoreboard for a career-high 26 points. The point total that day gave her the final boost she needed to surpass the 1,000-point mark in her career. In addition, Morris has earned career highs in rebounds (8), field goals (12), free throws (9) and assists (7) on James Nismith Court. Morris continually guards the opposing team's best player, scores reliably and occasionally has taken on the role of point guard during this season. Morris also played a key role in the Jayhawks' run to the WNIT championship game last year as she averaged 17 points per game. Three of Morris's best games during that stretch occurred in the Fieldhouse. Guard LaChelda Jacobs: Until Wednesday's 77-52 loss at Nebraska, Jacobs was the replacement starting point guard for injured freshman guard Angel Goodrich. However most of her minutes at Kansas have come off the bench. She has tallied a career high 18 points three times, twice in her freshman year and once in her junior year. At the moment, Jacobs is fighting to regain her starting position, which was recently usurped by junior guard Rhea Codio. Guard Kelly Kohn During her freshman year, Kohn was one of only two Jayhawks to start all 31 games. Not surprisingly that was her best statistical year at Kansas as she averaged 9.8 points per game, good enough for fourth place among Big 12 rookies that year. In her years as an upperclassman, Kohn adjusted from the role of a starter to the part of a player providing a spark off the bench. That didn't hinder her will to help the Jayhawks win, though, as she has made the transition quite well. Forward Porscha Weddington: Playing sporadically for most of her career, Weddington was best known for her rebounding skills. She pulled in a career high 12 boards in her freshman year in a 59-55 loss at Kansas State on Jan. 24, 2007. She started the first 11 games of the 2007-08 season.

Weston White/KANSAN TBALL REWIND 4 White/KANSA ped up after After a slow start, Kansas' bench saves game BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com COLUMBIA, Mo. — Coming into Saturday's game, Kansas didn't have a lot left to play for. For 10 minutes, the Jayhawks The lajahaws had locked up the conference title outright just the game before. They likely could have lost and still been a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. They were coming off an emotional high, winning against No. 5 Kansas State on Sherron Collins' senior night. played with no energy, telling the Tigers build a 17-10 lead, Sherron Collins didn't take a shot for the first 16 minutes. Xavier Henry, in that same time frame, was 0-for- 6 from the field. Tyshawn Taylor missed his first four in that span and eventually his first eight. Then the Kansas bench started to make a difference. "We couldn't make any shots and then Markieff came off the bench and sparked us." "I thought we could get off to a slow start," Self said. "I didn't think our energy in the locker room would be close to what Missouri's was. I thought we were excited to play, but there wasn't a typical geeked up environment." Kansas, though, didn't need production from the starting backcourt. With them scoreless, the Jayhawks had rallied around Markieff Morris and Thomas Robinson off the bench, who combined for 10 points and six rebounds and didn't miss a shot in the first half. TYSHAWN TAYLOR Sophomore Guard "I thought Reed and Markieff and Brady off the bench and Thomas off the bench were all very good," Self said. "We struggled early," Taylor said. "We couldn't make any shots and then Markieff came off the The layhawks built a 32-24 lead with just over one minute left in the first half when Collins finally found his offensive game. He scored the game's next eight points to give the layhawks a 40-24 lead and to end the half on a 16-0 run. bench and really sparked us — had a couple offensive rebounds and quick layups. Tyrel played really well. Brady played really well. So our bench helped us today. They carried us." Self cautioned Self cautioned at halftime that the Jayhawks had been in this position a year ago, leading 30-16 against the Tigers at the break, but hadn't been able to hane on. His speech didn't work. At least not initially. “Last year we had a 14-point lead at halftime and got beat,” Self said. “We talked about that at halftime and the talk was so good we came out and almost gave it away in the first eight minutes. They didn't even need the whole 20 to cut the lead.” Within eight minutes, the Tigers had cut Kansas' once-imposing 16-point lead down to just four. After a couple key plays by Collins, Tyrel Reed knocked down consecutive threes that put the game squarely back under the Jayhawks' command, getting the lead back in double figures with just fewer than nine minutes to go. It was, again, the bench that killed Missouri's momentum. and then the second one Ty made a great pass on the break. Just give props to my teammates for getting me open." "I think at that point in the game they were big shots," Reed said. "The first one I just got in rhythm Edited by Ashley Montgomery KAYA 21 MIZZOU 15 21 Weston White/KANSAN RECAP (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Senior guard Sherron Collins drives down the baseline to dish off a pass to a teammate on the perimeter. Collins had two assists and 12 points in the Jayhawks' 77-56 victory against the Tigers. "I thought our bench kept our starters fresh," Self said. "I thought when you watched us play out there, you really couldn't tell who our best five players were." succeed all at once. Even though the starters were struggling, he didn't see a need to put them back in the game. With 11:45 left in the game, a scary moment happened with one of the Jayhawks' most crucial players. Marcus Morris dove for a rebound and crashed into a table on the sideline, hitting his head and cutting his wrist in the process. He later returned with a bandage on his wrist and was well enough to go back into the game, finishing with 12 points and 10 rebounds. The injury was not considered serious. Morris said he blacked out for five to 10 seconds and sat on the ground for a few minutes before walking back to the locker room. "I'm good." Morris said after the game. Edited by Kelly Gibson SE EO T E 29 CE rove. PETER J. MCKINNEY MEN'S BASKETBALL Townsend Kansas assistant coach Kurtis Townsend is not in any trouble with the athletics department after giving tickets to an adult film actress for Wednesday's matchup against Kansas State. Athletics says coach won't be punished Townsend called two local media outlets to give his side of the story, saying a woman told him on a plane in December she and her brother wanted to go to a game. The actress, whose stage name is Samantha Ryan, only told Townsenc her real name and that she was a graduate from the University, Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchionn said it was a harmless act and no punishment will come of it. Townsend said he didn't see her at the game and hadn't seen her since. Ryan defended the coach on her Twitter account, saying she just made small talk to a person in a Jayhawk jumpsuit, which led to some tickets. "He was trying to be a good guy to a KU alum, and he was," Marchiony said. Marchiony said these occurrences are not uncommon. "That kind of thing happens to all of us in athletics," Marchiony said. "Many times your reaction is, 'Hey, yeah. Give me a call and if there are tickets available they are available." Now the game is over and everyone involved with the situation just wants it put to rest. A spokesperson from the team said Townsend sent out his message to the two media outlets and that all he will save on the subject. "Wednesday she came to the game and that was the end of it." Marchiony said. Corey Thibodeaux Game to remember Reed has always stuck to the shadows a little bit in his career, but it doesn't seem to be that way against Missouri. In two games against the Tigers this year, Reed, who grew up a Jayhawks fan, is 7-of-9 from three-point land. Saturday he hit 3-of-5, including two on back-to-back possessions that iced the game for Kansas. Junior guard Tyrel Reed Mike Reed Game to forget Collins Senior guard Sherron Collins PETER RICKMAN Apart from a 1 minute and 19 second stretch where he scored eight consecutive points to end the first half, Collins was pretty much ineffective for the Jayhawks in his last game in Columbia. He scored just four points in the other 38:41 and turned the ball over four times against the Tigers' ferocious defense. Stat of the night 23-8 Missouri, which is known for its bench depth, had problems getting production outside of its starting five. The Jayhawks, on the other hand, were "carried" by their bench, in the words of Tyshawn Taylor. Kansas' bench outscored the Tigers' by a final tally of 23-8. Quote of the night "He did hit his head hard, but he's fine. There's no concussion or anything like that.I've been around him for a while and that's probably the safest place for him to get hit and not get hurt." — Bill Self, about sophomore forward Marcus Morris, who crashed into a courtside display and had to briefly leave the game.

Engelman scored 8 points on 3-of-11 shooting and the Jayhawks fell 78-54 at Allen Fieldhouse. BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com Freshman forward Carolyn Davis watched helplessly from the bench as No.14 Texas A&M dominated Kansas en route to a lopsided 78-54 victory Saturday. Davis suffered a concussion in last Friday's practice after her head collided with freshman guard Monica Engelman's knee. As a result, Davis could only offer words of encouragement as Kansas once again struggled to adjust to life without one of its premier players. "It was emotional for me because I was the one that gave her the con- " Erwelman cussion, Engelman said. Davis has transformed into one of the more dominant freshmen in the Big 12. Since the start of conference play, Davis has averaged 12.5 points per game, which places her in the conference's top 20 scorers and also puts her second among Big 12 freshmen. With that kind of production, Davis was a player the layhawks could scarcely afford to lose. Yet that's exactly what happened. "What Bonnie has gone through this year, no one should have to go through that." The story is now a familiar one; the Jayhawks have encountered it several times this season. First, freshman Angel Goodrich哄她 HCL in a Jan. 12 loss to No. 15 Oklahoma State. Goodrich's natural passing ability was the driving force behind the jayhawks offense. With Goodrich running the show Kansas' offense averaged 72.7 points per game, but in her absence it has foundered, averaging only 62 points per game. GARY BLAIR Texas A&M coach Less than a month later, in early February, Kansas lost senior guard Danielle McCray, another keystone player. McCray led Kansas in scoring with almost 20 points per game, and Kansas especially needed her to perform well after Goodrich's injury. That made her loss even more devastating for Kansas and for coach Bonnie Henrickson. "What Bonnie has gone through this year, no one should have to The loss of just one star player can often mask the success a team might have achieved otherwise. Take Nebraska for example. go through that', Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said. After a knee injury ended Kelsey Griffin's season before it even began last year, the Cornhuskers struggled throughout the season on their way to a 15-16 overall record and an early exit from the WNIT. This year Nebraska returned all but one player from that sub-500 squad, including a healthy Griffin. The addition of Griffin to a well established core helped guide Nebraska to the first ever undefeated Big 12 conference record. It's not realistic to assume Kansas would have mimicked that success story this season if it had not suffered any injuries, especially considering that it had lost four games before the first injury. But it's hard to deny that it has affected the results of this season. "I think they've adjusted kind of well, but the results don't show that much". McCray said. Kansas has now lost seven of its last eight games, including five straight. The last three defeats have been by an average of 24 points. "It has been a struggle this year and if we want to end up our strongest we just have to keep pushing and fighting," senior guard Sade Morris said.

Edited by Jesse Rangel Game ball Sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland Sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland Sutherland finished with a team-high 13 points, missing just one of her six shot attempts. She also logged four rebounds and two blocks, but played just 25 minutes because of early foul trouble. Sutherland has scored 10 or more points 16 times this season and leads the Jay- hawks with 7.2 rebounds per game. Sutherland P Reason to hope Junior center Krysten Boogaard Boogaard Y With Carolyn Davis sitting on the sideline with a concussion, junior Krysten Boogaard entered the starting line-up once again. She occupied that spot for the first 15 games of the season. Boogaard was perfect from the field on the night, scoring on all three of her attempts en route to nine points. It was the third time this season that Boogaard earned a shooting percentage of 100. Boogaard's nine points also represents her best offensive performance since a Jan. 3 loss to New Mexico State. Reason to mope In the closing minutes of Friday's practice, Davis crashed to the floor, hitting her head on Monica Engelman's knee on the way down. Davis was diagnosed with a concussion and consequently missed Saturday's game against Texas A&M. In her absence the Aggies post players, led by Danielle Adams, tore through the Jayhawk's defense for 29 combined points. Also, no Jayhawks came close to making up for the 15.5 points per game Davis has averaged since the injury to Danielle McCray. No Carolyn Davis Davis JAMES HARRIS What to watch for The post season Saturday's 78-54 loss to Texas A&M marked the conclusion of the Jayhawk's 2009-10 regular season. The post season, which begins with the Big 12 conference tournament in Kansas City next Thursday, is now all Kansas can look forward to. It seems that the Jayhawks will need to win the conference tournament in order to earn a bid to the NCAA tournament. Considering that Kansas has no wins against Big 12 teams ranked above it, that scenario will likely not occur. Thus Kansas will probably spend its post season attempting to match last season's run in the WNIT. — senior guard LaChelda Jacobs Quote of the game "We've still got to keep our heads high. In the Big 12 tournament, everybody's record is clean." Stat of the night BUSKY 30 Jacobs There was a heap to choose from here, but Kansas' 30 turnovers trumped all else. By far a season-high (or low should I say), the Jayhawks often drove into walls of defenders only to have the ball poked away and quickly turned into a transition layup on the other end. Hendrickson said that her team lacked discipline and that her point guards struggled to handle one-on-one pressure.

Louisville pulls off upset of Syracuse Kyle Kuric scored all of his career-high 22 points in the second half and the Cardinals upset No.1 Syracuse 78-68 on Saturday, providing one last highlight at their 54-year-old home. Louisville (20-11, 11-7 Big East) may also have assured itself a return trip to the NCAA tournament by sweeping the season series from the Orange (28-3, 15-3). Their only other loss all season came against Pittsburgh, and Saturday was their first road loss. Although Syracuse led by eight points late in the first half, Kuric was a one-man wrecking crew in the second. He made 9 of 11 shots — including four 3-pointers — to make for a happy ending at Freedom Hall, before Louisville moves to a new downtown arena in the fall. Associated Press KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, MARCH 8. 2010 / SPORTS 7B SOFTBALL Offense slow in weekend series Freshmen step up as Jayhawks win two of four series games BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com twitter.com/zgetz The Kansas softball team split its four games at the Coach B Classic and is now 9-10 overall. Though the pitching and defense were solid aspects of play for the Jayhawks during the weekend — they allowed just 11 runs in four games — Kansas' offense was sluggish, racking up only 10 runs. For that reason, coach Megan Smith said Kansas needs to have more confidence, and therefore more production at the plate. "We need to relax in the box and trust what we've been working on all fall and all preseason." Smith said. "We need to know it's going to work, get up there, wait for our pitch and attack it with an aggressive swing." Kansas' offense has relied on only a handful of hitters so far this season. Sophomore outfielder Kelsey Alsdorf said the rest of the layhawks needed to deliver as well. "We've had to rely on big hits sometimes from Alex Jones, Sara Ramirez or Brittany Hile," Alsdorf said. "Hopefully more people can start getting on base." Kansas' offense needs to regroup and take a simple-minded approach to hitting instead of looking for the homerun ball, junior catcher Brittney Hile said. "I think we just need to take a step back and watch the ball all the way to the bat and not look for that big hit to get us out of our slump." Hile said. "We need to take it one hit at a time and let it all come together." Out of the top five batting averages on the team, four are freshmen. The freshman players have arguably been some of Kansas' most productive players this season. "Our young players are playing better than our upperclassmen," Smith said. "I told the freshmen after the fall, 'You're no longer freshen, and you've got to step up and be ready to play.' They've certainly done that and gone out and did an excellent job for us." Kansas will have its home opener on Thursday when it hosts the KU Invitational and will face Valparaiso and Missouri State. Edited by Kelly Gibson COACH B CLASSIC RESULTS Kansas 4, University of Illinois-Chicago 3 Kansas scored two in the bottom of the first, but UIC quickly responded, scoring two in the second. Kansas broke the tie in the third when junior catcher Brittany Hile hit a two-run homer to take a two-run lead. Kansas wouldn't score again, but wouldn't need to, as it wrapped up its first opening day victory this season. Kansas was outhit in the game 10-7, but still came up victorious. Southern Illinois-Carbondale 3, Kansas 1 The entire game was an offensive funk. SIU racked up three runs on three hits in the second, but only managed one hit in the other six innings. Likewise, Kansas could only manage one hit in the first six innings, but thing started to heat up in the seventh. Kansas managed to get a run and two hits in the inning, but when Kansas missed a chance, leaving two on base, Kansas got just three hits for the entire game. Kansas 3, Western Illinois 0 Junior pitcher Allie Clark had an outstanding game, allowing just one hit and one walk in seven innings. Kansas got two runs on four hits in the first, and added another run in the third, but wouldn't score again. Freshman right fielder, Rosie Hull led Kansas' early tirade, getting two runs off of two hits and Clark had two RBIs off her lone hit. Southern Illinois-Carbondale 5. Kansas 2 SIUE had a good start, getting a run in the first and adding two more in the second. Kansas, on the other hand, couldn't seem to get its offense together. In the first and third innings, Kansas got a runner on base with zero outs but couldn't get the runner home, and in the second Kansas had a runner on with one out. Kansas did manage two homers in the fourth and sixth by Clark and Hile, but it was not enough to defeat SIUE. —Zach Getz TRACK & FIELD Athletes compete in NCAA qualifier BY KORY CARPENTER editor@kansan.com A return to Ames, Iowa and a trip to South Bend, Ind. this weekend brought two first-place finishes to the track and field team as 22 athletes competed in the NCAA qualifier for this week's indoor championships.

The Jayhawks men's golf team knows that, perhaps more than anyone. Winter storms have kept the team indoors and off the golf course so far this season. "We still haven't played a lot of golf so far with this weather," coach Kit Grove said. "There has been a lot of ice on the greens even the last few weeks and most of the guys have played just a handful of rounds this semester." Despite not being able to practice, the Jayhawks are optimistic about playing in the Louisiana Classics Invitational on Monday in Lafayette, La., for the fourth time in as many years. "We'd love to win this event," Grove said. "However, a top three to five finish would really help our ranking." The tournament features a few schools from Louisiana including Louisiana State University and the University of New Orleans. The only other Big 12 school competing is Colorado. Teams will play 36 holes on Monday followed by the last 18 holes on Tuesday. Bell has been doing some things this season that nobody saw coming. First, Bell made the team as a walk-on during tryouts back in August. Kansas had not had an open tryout in coach Kit Grove's tenure at Kansas. Then, after just one tournament, Bell cracked Grove's tournament rotation. Since then, he has been one of the team's best scorers.
