These panels use sunlight to convert water into electricity, making them an environmentally friendly solution for energy production. Joseph McCracken, a senior from Topeka, holds on to a solar panel, as Nick Sorface, a graduate student from London, aligns it to the frame. On Tuesday, the EcoHawks installed two solar panels on top of their shed located on West Campus. Howard Ting/KANSAN Bright future for solar energy Faculty, students explore new ways to embrace solar energy BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com Despite Kansas' dependence on coal and wind energy, the future for solar energy in the state looks bright, according Brad Loveless, director of biology and conservation programs at Westar Energy. Though the lack of substantial research on solar energy drives up the cost of solar technology and directs investors into alternatives such as wind and coal, the University of Kansas has started to soak up the suns rays for research of its own. Faculty, students and Westar Energy have invested money and research into solar energy, even though the returns on those investments remain largely uncertain. FILLING UP WITH SUN The EcoHawks engineering group is trying to feed their Volkswagen Beetle less fuel. Working at a West Campus shed the group calls the "Boathouse" on Wednesday, members of EcoHawks started mounting six solar panels to the shed's roof. Each panel can supply more than a kilowatt-hour, enough to power a window air-conditioner for an hour. The group wants to transfer energy captured by the panels into a battery used as a fueling station for their 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle. "The whole goal of the project is to increase the miles per gallon of the car itself," said Chris Depcik, associate professor of mechanical engineering. company, donated the first two panels to EcoHawks. The company sold the four additional panels to EcoHawks at a reduced price of $450. The additional panels will allow the older models to stay in place and allow for experiments with the self-moving panels. Each panel is valued at about $800. As the optimal sun season begins, Bryan Strecker, a senior from Topeka, and other EcoHawk members will have to climb onto the roof to tilt the panels about 30 degrees until they complete an automated system used to track the sun across the sky. Affordable Solar, a New Mexico-based "The biggest challenge is mounting the panels themselves," said Strecker. The team met a worker at Home Depot who had experience with solar panels and helped develop a mounting bracket for the first two solar panels. The team also had relied on finding information online and making friends at companies, such as Affordable SEE SOLAR ON PAGE 3A CAMPUS Student gardeners to grow produce for charity BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com With shovel in hand, Kassie Altergott digs into the wheelbarrow full of compost and sprinkles it across the freshly tilled soil. Altergott, a senior from Houston, Texas, volunteered for the first time Wednesday at this season's kick-off event for the University's Campus Garden, located on Louisiana Street between 13th and 14th streets. "Planting is a little later this year because of the rain delays," said Cindy Yu, a sophomore from Wichita and co-coordinator of Environmental Action to Revitalize the Heartland. The food grown in the garden will be donated to the East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity, and the organization loves getting the fresh-from-the ground produce, said Catherine Keeton, food bank coordinator at ECKAN. The 19 volunteers spent two hours tilling the soil, adding compost and fertilizer and planting seeds. Most of the students working in the garden were first-time gardeners, showing up either for volunteer hours or for a class. Thanks to the volunteers, people can grab produce from the shelves instead of canned vegetables. Vu said students could join in the gardening even if they had no experience. She said she started with only a little experience and learned all the details later. "I know a little bit," said Ian McKay, a junior from Leawood. "My mom does some gardening so that is how I learned." Campus Garden "I didn't know much besides what my grandma had told me back when I was little," Vu said. "I didn't learn little things like mari- SEE GARDEN ON PAGE 3A Kassie Altergott, a senior from Houston, Texas, works in the Campus Garden Wednesday evening to fulfill a requirement of her Environmental Society Course. "I've always wanted to garden, but I live in an apartment," Altergott said. Collin Johnson/KANSAN CAMPUS Getting to know College's new dean BY ANNIE VANGSNES anniev@kansan.com He will be in Danny Anderson was named the next dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Wednesday after a four-month national search. He will be in charge of the largest school in the University with more than 50 departments and programs and more than 17,000 students. Before 'nderson's A. S. R. MURPHY Anderson dean was appointed dean, he was interim provost and vice provost for academic affairs before that. Do you have any concerns with your new position, or what problems do you think you'll be facing? I have a number of years working in leadership roles in the University, and it's always an interesting experience because you can never predict exactly what the challenges you'll need to deal with may be. I think as you work in these roles you realize that with creative thinking and respect for your colleagues there are always ways to address challenges. In that sense, I feel very comfortable entering the role as the dean in the college. What do you think some of the college's biggest weaknesses are? When I look at the college, the point of view that I have is that it has many strengths. And when I look at what the chancellor is asking the University to do, the college is going to be in a key role as we move forward. One of the chancellor's goals is to ask us what can we do to help students graduate in a timely manner. And because so many of the students at the University are in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, it will be really central in helping departments, faculty members and staff members find the best ways to support our students so that they can get the liberal arts education and that they do it in a timely manner. [...] When you look at all public universities right now, KU, in many ways, is better than others. When you look at the rates of graduation, we're actually doing better than others. But the question is, are we doing the best that can we do? The goal is to think about ways we can continue to improve. Is it an advantage being an insider coming into this position and how so? I think the things you look at as a strength can also be a weak SEE CLAS ON PAGE 3A index Watch the KUJHTV package at kansan.com/videos.

Tiger moved after days spent in moat The suspect was arraigned Sunday evening and was jailed in lieu of $1,000 bond. SAN FRANCISCO — 'Tony' the Siberian tiger is back on display at the San Francisco Zoo after being shot with tranquilizers and hauled out of a moat where he'd spent four nights. Zoo officials say it's not clear why Tony stayed in the moat. He's in good health, although he's 18 and a recent medical evaluation showed signs of senility. Zoo officials decided on Monday that Tony could no longer stay in the dry moat he climbed into Thursday. The excrement was piling up and officials worried about a potential health hazard So with the help of firefighters, they hit the 360-pound tiger with tranquilizer darts, strapped him to a board and hauled him out with a pulley. Siberian tigers have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years in the wild and 14 to 20 years in captivity.

EcoHawks is also constructing a 500-mile-gallon car using a 1974 Volkswagen Beetle. SOLAR (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Solar in New Mexico, for guidance simply because solar energy isn't a popular industry in Kansas. Strecker said the project team had received discounts and donations from various companies including Affordable Solar. In return, the companies only requested recognition as payment. "It's a pretty unique project so when people hear about it, especially solar companies, they are really excited to help out," Strecker said. Depcik said that the project's various components, including the solar panels and the Volkswagen Beetle, makes it especially unique. He said he doesn't know of anyone else looking to integrate all those technologies. A RISKY INVESTMENT "The students get to learn in a real world situation how this flow of energy occurs." Depcik said. Right now, it's just a prospect, but it's a large one. The KU Center for Research will decide during the next few months whether to install two solar panels, spanning 6,000 square feet. Installed out of the sight of most students on West Campus, the two panels are planned to sit next to the Library Annex, 1800 Westbrook St. A+F GimbH, a German solar energy company, produces the rotating panels, which haven't been widely used in the States. With the capacity to generate 176,000 kilowatts annually, the panels could be a stable source of energy for the annex and offer faculty and students first-hand experience with solar energy, said Carey Novak, director of business relations and development at KUCR. Novak said the panels would cost $1 million and take about six months to install. If University officials approve the project, several departments are expected to benefit from the panels, including the engineering department. "It would be a pretty significant statement on KU's commitment for going toward renewable energy," said Scott McVey, KU energy conservation and utility manager. Despite the projected benefits, Novak said the outcome was unknown and that University officials couldn't know every problem that might go along with the investment. KUCR is still evaluating all aspects of the project and will make a decision sometime during the next three months. MORE THAN A HOME box standing along the road. The only difference her neighbors notice as they stroll by is the reflective rays bouncing off her solar panels. Bean, a professor of physics, bought into green technology in 2008 when she spent about $8,000 after receiving tax credits — on her first panels. To complement her solar panels, she purchased a Toyota Prius, an energy-efficient water heater, extra insulation and florescent light bulbs. All combine to make her home one of the most efficient, environmentally-friendly in town. In the ideal situation, where net-metering would allow Bean to sell her solar energy back to Westar for the amount she pays per kilowatt, it would take her 40 years to break even on her initial investment. However, Lawrence doesn't operate on a net-metering system, so instead of earning 12 cents per solar kilowatt-hour, the price per kilowatt -hour she pays the electric company, Bean earns 1.9 cents. It would therefore take 400 years for Bean to make back her investment. "You'll find that's not very exciting," Bean said.

Bean didn't spend about $10,000 for the whole process to turn a profit; she said she knew that wasn't going to happen. Every time she pulls her Prius into the driveway, Bean sees her panels and doesn't regret the system that, at the current rate, will take 4 centuries to pay off.

What do you think students will notice now that you're dean? Right now, the chancellor has a task force on retention and graduation, and it is in the process of making recommendations about practices that will help faculty and staff members identify more quickly students who may need a little bit of additional encouragement during their first year at the University. So I hope that as a dean I can help identify which of these strategies out of the task force report can help get in place right away so that we are helping our students succeed at a higher rate during their first year. One of the things that I care about very deeply here at the University is what we collectively call engaged learning. It has to do with different ways faculty members and staff members encourage students to be active in defining their goals and what they want to get out of their education.

Carhart said Wednesday he had not given up on opening a practice in Kansas where women can have a late-term procedure. Tiller's death limits abortion options But even as Scott Roeder faces a mandatory life sentence for killing Tiller, many ponder the conflicting legacies of his actions. Outside Kansas, abortion rights supporters say there's been a surge in lateterm abortion practices by doctors emboldened to pick up where Tiller left off. George Tiller's clinic is closed, leaving the state with no facility where women can have the procedure after the 21st week of pregnancy. ASSOCIATED PRESS Some people on the other side of the abortion debate aren't taking comfort in the fate of Roeder, 52, of Kansas City, Mo., who was "What he really did was murder a doctor in church, and the effect on abortion is negligible," said LeRoy Carhart, a Nebraska doctor who worked part-time for Tiller. convicted in january of first-degree murder for fatally shooting Tiller last May. "Mr. Roeder was a setback to the pro-life movement — and to give him any sort of credit for reducing or stopping abortion is well beyond reason," said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue. Roeder's militant sympathizers disagree. "He went ahead and laid down He went ahead and his life to save unborn children and to me that is the definition of a hero — he gave up his life to save someone else," said Rev. Don Spitz, of Chesapeake, Va. In Kansas, Tiller's killing has practically erased later term procedures and forced women to Albuquerque, N.M., and Boulder, Colo. among other places, to have them. Just three clinics in the state — all located in or near the Kansas City metro area — offer limited abortion services for women up to their 21st week of pregnancy. Beyond the state, however, abortion rights advocates say doctors are increasingly offering the procedure to ensure women have access. Among them is Megan Evans, a third-year medical student at George Washington University who said she hopes to include abortion services as part of a larger obstetrics and gynecology practice. "After he was killed, for me it assured me this was the right field to go into," she said. In the wake of Tiller's murder, Curtis Boyd of Albuquerque decided to provide third-trimester abortions on a case-by case basis and hired two physicians who had worked at Tiller's clinic. "What he really did is murder a doctor in a church, and the effect on abortion is negligible." LEROY CARHART Nebraska doctor of legislative efforts coupled with political and social pressures. Saporta contends there are now more doctors across the nation providing late abortions than there were before Tiller was killed, but she refuses to say how many or identify them for fear of making them instant targets. Kansas law permits an abortion on a viable fetus after the 21st week of "We need more abortion clinics," she said. "We need more physicians who aren't afraid to practice abortion procedures because of fear of legal repercussions." State lawmakers who oppose abortion want to further restrict the law. They passed a bill that would require doctors' reports to the state include the exact medical diagnosis justifying a late-term abortion. It also would allow a doctor to be sued if the mother or her family had evidence that a late-term abortion violated Kansas law. But the Republican-controlled Legislature doesn't yet have the two-thirds majorities it needs to override a potential veto by Democratic Gov. Mark Parkinson, an abortion rights supporter. The state Department of Health and Environment reported last week that the number of late-term abortions of viable fetuses dropped dramatically last year, from 192 in 2008 to 67 in 2009. The total number of abortions declined 11 percent, from about 10,600 in 2008 to about 9,500 in 2009. But Rinker, the NOW lobbyist, said Roeder accomplished what the state's conservative lawmakers could not. GRE™ LSAT™ GMAT™ TEST PREPARATION That’s Right on Target.

Each field will award a $500 first prize, a $200 second prize and two $150 third prizes to students at an award ceremony on April 27. A group of faculty members judged the presentations, which were set up on post board or given through PowerPoint talks. Students presented on topics ranging from gasoline production with algae to how Victorian women used born to learn about sex. "We want to showcase the fact that our graduate students are engaged in research and that their research is really important to our institution," said Sara Rosen, dean of graduate studies.

A day after the Humans vs. Zombies KU Chapter received permission to host its test game, the event was postponed so administrators could address their concerns. The game, which is part of a national Humans vs. Zombies game that started in 2005, is rescheduled for this Friday. Dozens of KU students will roam the grounds of West Campus in a giant game of tag. Each player will wear a bandana, either on the arm, signaling a human, or on the head, signaling a zombie. Although the group got the goahead for a test game, there are still some limits. First, the game, which was originally supposed to be campus-wide, will be played only on West Campus, and the buildings themselves will serve as safe zones — off limits for any attacks. And rather than the Nerf guns used by human-zombie battlers on other campuses, participants of Friday's game must use rolled-up socks to attack. Finally, the game will only last 24 hours. "They wanted us to be in a more controlled environment than letting us run around all over campus," said Douglas Hanson, co-founder of the KU chapter. Hanson said he didn't know whether the game would ever be able to spread out to other parts of campus, but he said he expected the game to continue until next semester. The Humans vs. Zombies group will table on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, and the test game will be tomorrow at 3 p.m. "Since we knew there was going to be some kind of compromise, this isn't the worst situation we could be in," Hanson said.

Charlie Crist's grand plan to revive the dying Florida Everglades by buying back the land is in jeopardy after a federal judge Wednesday ordered the state to resume construction on a multimillion-dollar restoration project. It the sugar land deal falls through, it could serve up another blow to Crist's campaign for U.S. Senate. He is locked in a close contest for the GOP nomination, and the U.S. Sugar purchase was set to be a cornerstone of his legacy. Moreno granted a motion from the Miccosuskee Indians, who live in the Everglades, to force the South Florida Water Management District to resume construction of the massive reservoir with an estimated cost of up to $800 million. The Everglades have been dying for decades from the intrusion of farms and development, dissected by dikes, dams and canals, effectively draining much of the swamp and polluting it with fertilizers and urban runoff. The state and federal governments' efforts to restore the wetlands have been stymied for years by funding shortfalls, legal challenges and political bickering. The decision to stop work came just a month before Crist announced a plan to spend $1.75 billion to buy all of U.S. Sugar Corp's 180,000 acres and assets in the Everglades.

The Census Bureau mobilized a small army of enumerators — the people that count — for the three-day operation that wraps up Wednesday. In San Francisco alone, 800 people canvassed 1,700 streets, said Michael Burns, deputy regional director for the Seattle region. In the Puget Sound area of Washington state, 700 workers are being dispatched. Enumerators hit both city and rural streets. + ASSOCIATED PRESS CENSUS American Red Cross Douglas County Chapter But counting the nation's homeless population remains challenging for the Census, which uses home addresses to send its decennial questionnaire to U.S. residents. There is also no agreed definition of homelessness among federal agencies, Burns said. Moreover, the actual questionnaire doesn't have an option for people without a home. Behind the count is money ... More than $20 billion will go to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Because of that, for the second census in a row, the bureau partnered with service providers — faith-based soup kitchens, advocacy groups, shelters and others — across the country to reach out and pinpoint areas where the homeless gather. "That close alliance, working with people at the grass roots levels ... I think it's definitely going to make for a more accurate count. We're working with people who know where (the homeless) stay at night," Burns said. In 1992, Baltimore and San Francisco and a group of homeless advocates sued, wanting the Census to recount. They charged that the bureau deliberately failed to count thousands of homeless people, when its tally spanned just one night, in order to reduce the federal aid available to the homeless.

And even after the three-day operation ends, some more outreach will be conducted. data. More than $20 billion will go to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to an analysis by the Brookings Institute. HUD often works with people with no permanent shelter. The history between the Census and the homeless, though, is not without controversy. The last two censuses yielded complaints about how the government handled the count. After the 2000 Census, law makers demanded that the Census say exactly how many homeless people it found, instead of grouping them into a large one. citic category called "other non- institutionalized group quarters" Undercounting remains a concern for Neil Donovan, executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless. He said homeless advocates, HUD and others have estimated higher homeless populations than what the Census has tallied. But in Los Angeles, Herbert L. Smith, president and chief executive of the Los Angeles Mission in the city's Skid Row district, praised the Census Bureau's efforts to count members of the city's homeless population. "They heard the criticisms from the last go-around and I think they're trying to address these as best they can," Smith said. "They have really touched all the bases in trying to make the count as accurate as possible." Back in Seattle, one thing remained certain to Alison Eisinger, whose Seattle-King County Coalition on Homelessness has conducted an annual one-night count for the past three decades. "We know by that experience you'll always have an under-count," she said.

"Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palin's Show," he tweeted. "WOW" Fox News said the program, "Real American Stories," included an interview the performer gave to the network as part of an online project of the same name that launched during the 2008 election. But producers are now excising his interview from the show after LL Cool J, whose real name is James Todd Smith, raised objections. "Real American Stories' features uplifting tales about overcoming adversity, and we believe Mr. Smith's interview fit that criteria," said a spokeswoman for the network. "However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career." LL Cool I did not immediately respond to requests for comment made through his Twitter account or his manager. On Wednesday morning, while the news that Fox had cut him from the show was breaking, the star of "NCIS: Los Angeles" tweeted that "Nobody can bring you peace but yourself." The "Real American Stories" website is still up, now as an extension of the television series. The site currently includes profiles of Americans, including some celebrities, who share their lessons about fulfilling their dreams and helping others. The LI Cool I interview cannot currently be found on the site. The show hosted by Palin is being cast in the same vein, focused on inspirational people who have overcome obstacles in life. The premiere episode, which airs Thursday at 9 p.m., is set to feature a piece about a Marine who sacrificed his life for his fellow soldiers and a story about a stockbroker who helps underprivileged youth pay for college. "As Americans, we aspire to greatness?' Palin says in a promo for the show. "When we dream, we dream big We reach out, we pick each other up We pride ourselves on our make up and our character." In its original release about the show, Fox News said LL Cool J and former General Electric Chief Executive Jack Welch would be featured in the first episode, talking about making it in America as part of a segment called "In Their Own Words". The network did not specify when the interviews were conducted. Palin serves as host of the program and conducted some studio interviews, a role that is part of her larger deal as a regular contributor to Fox News. The premiere episode of "Real American Stories" is rearing Sunday, but does not yet have a regular time slot. None of the well-known figures who will be featured on the show, including country music star Toby Keith, were interviewed by Palin. But the former Alaska governor did conduct interviews before a live studio audience with people with stories of inspiration, such as a girl who risked her life to save a stranger.

It was strange, considering the "familification" of virtually everything else — any marketer, politician, media giant or travel agent worth his or her salt was selling family hard. But this past fall, with very little fanfare, television got back on message. Between the recent renaissance of the family comedy and the increasing popularity of kinder, gentler crime-solving shows, the long-lost family hour has quietly reconstructed itself. After years of being dominated by shows about graphic police work, medical procedurals and the sexual antics of friends and colleagues, television is once again ringing with the sound of multi-generational and mostly non-profane voices. 10% off Any Item. Any Time with KU ID Culver's FROZEN CUSTARD BUTTERBURGERS 2111 West 33rd St, Next to Target Free Wi-Fi Obviously, "family-friendly" is possibly the most subjective term in the English language (after "a woman's size 6") and the standards of language, violence and sexuality are, like that size 6, much more elastic than they were 20 or 10 or even five years ago. (Which means, among other things, that we're all going to have to get used to the fact that "sucks" is the new "stinks.") Crime shows and even medical shows are gorier than they were in the day of "Murder, She Wrote," while animated shows with crude language and adult humor, such as Fox's "The Family Guy" and its spinoff, "The Cleveland Show," blur even simple things like genre. But while no one's saying that "The Wonderful World of Disney" is back on prime time, two significant things have returned: a Nick and Nora detective sensibility, and actual children, who have been strangely MIA pretty much since "Malcolm in the Middle" ended four years ago.

Show support for health care, but still push for public option EDITORIAL Despite the much drawn out and controversial debate and the support of zero congressional Republicans, President Obama has signed a landmark health care reform bill into law. Students on campus should support this law, because, as a group, we will benefit from it. But students should also express disapproval with the absence of a plan to create a public option as part of the legislation. Dating back to Theodore Roosevelt, many presidents have attempted to pass some type of universal health care. The fact that Congress finally succeeded to pass a bill should be taken to represent the integrity of the legislation. There are some key elements of this package that help most students here on campus. The main aspect that benefits students is "provision number seven." According to healthcare.gov, this provision extends the coverage of people on their parents' insurance until the age of 26. This policy is set to take effect six months from now. The ability for students to be able to stay on their parents' health care plan is a huge benefit, especially because some entry-level jobs don't provide health care This would have given both employers and individuals the ability to decide between private health care and government health care. Despite all of the benefits, the bill is lacking in one area: Creation of a public option. A USA Today/Gallup poll reported that 52 percent of all Americans wanted a public option to be included in the health care provision. Citizens should still have a choice as to what type of health care provider they want. According to the 2008 U.S. Census, an additional 197,000 Kansans will be eligible for health care under this new provision. This number is staggering and only underlines how unacceptable it was to have so many people without health care and without the opportunity or ability to receive it. Overall, this piece of legislation not only helps students by keeping them on their parents' health insurance for an extended amount of time, but it also helps those who could not afford health insurance before. Students should support the new health care package not just because it helps them, but because it serves the greater good of the country. However, students should express their discontent with the lack of a public option by contacting our congressional representatives and encouraging them to support its inclusion.

NICHOLAS SAMBALUK ETIQUETTE Avoid sidelining friends during new conversation It's a familiar situation college students face: You're at the library/bar/friend's house with a pal, when someone else approaches your friend. These two people begin a conversation about a topic that you couldn't possibly understand, such as a class or an inside joke, so you find yourself standing awkwardly, waiting for the chat to end. Start with the basics: Introduce the two friends, and explain how you know each of them. If a friend has a professional title, be sure to include it when introducing him or her. Now everyone can be included in the conversation without feeling like he or she is interrupting. Not to say your friend is entirely at fault. We all have times when we get excited about bumping into a friend and may temporarily forget about the company we were already with. But, this doesn't mean that proper etiquette should be entirely disregarded. A quick "hello" is fine, but if a discussion ensues, someone is bound to feel like the odd man out. How do we keep both friends feeling comfortable, even if they've never met before? PETER JOHNSON For more formal occasions, etiquette experts recommend introducing the lower-ranking person to the high-ranking person. For example, I would introduce my friend to my grandmother, an acquaintance to a professor or a lower ranking professional to a more seasoned one. BY RICHELLE BUSER Some etiquette experts insist on shaking hands, making eye contact and standing with legs shoulder-length apart when being introduced to someone. All of that is completely acceptable, but if it feels a little stuffy or if the introduction is casual, then a smile, head nod or wave, accompanied with, "Hey, what's up?" will do the trick. Uncomfortable moments after introductions usually spring from conversation topics. Try to avoid subjects that would exclude someone. Naturally, we all want to talk to acquaintances about things we have in common, and sometimes that can involve a specific professor or shared activity that doesn't apply to the third person. Talking about these things isn't off limits, per se. But, it is important to make a point to keep these discussions short or attempt to include the person who isn't involved. Take for example: "Yeah, Professor fill-in the blank is totally impossible. Katie took Western Civ at Neosho instead. Katie, didn't you say it was much easier?" Just like that, the transition has been made from a topic shared between only two people to a topic that everyone feels engaged in. Now no one is left out, and the conversation has become more universal. If you are the one meeting a new person, be sure to acknowledge the introduction again when you are ready to make your exit. This could be something as simple as, "It was nice meeting you, fill-in-the-blank. Have a great day" Above all, etiquette is about making other people feel comfortable. Introducing people and being polite is an easy way to do just that. Buser is a senior from Columbia, Ill., in journalism. RELIGION Hidden motives in crusade on justice Glenn Beck of Fox News has managed to absolutely mortify and demolish any remaining faith I had in the human race with one fell verbal swoop. God Beyond God He goes on to say that social and economic justice are code words that have malevolent ties to communism and Nazism.1, however, have never heard of any religion or been to any religious service that didn't emphasize social and economic justice in some way. "I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church website. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes! If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish." Beck recently said on his talk show. "If it's my church, I'm alerting the church authorities: 'Excuse me, what's this social justice thing?' And if they say, 'Yeah, we're all in that social justice thing' — I'm in the wrong place." What then is this "social and economic justice" Beck is so concerned about? Is it simply holding an annual fundraiser for the needy around the holidays, or is it something more? Perhaps when Beck refers to social justice, he is referring to caring for the poor and needy or the demand for human rights seen across the globe. From the Mosaic law of Jubilee, to the Hebrew prophets, to the message of Jesus of Nazareth, social justice is shown to be an integral part of God's plan for mankind. Beck continues to say, "Nowhere does lesus say, 'Hey, if somebody asks for your shirt, give your coat to the government and have the government give them a pair of slacks." Yes, Mr. Beck, the Bible doesn't say that. However, it does say: "I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the poor," in Psalms 140:12. POLYTECHNICALLY REQUIRED. BY SHAUNA BLACKMON shackmon@kansan.com The Bible also says: "For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress." in Isaiah 25:4. Beck is letting his fear of big government and, God forbid, helping others beyond his insightful television program get to him. The three Abrahamic religions — Islam, Judaism and Christianity — some of the largest in the world, all have an immense focus on helping others. Beck has seemed to start a fight with founder and editor of the Christian magazine Sojourners, Jim Wallis. In response to Beck's rally for Christians to leave their church, Wallis suggested that, instead, Christians leave Beck. This is an idea that more people should heavily consider. Blackmon is a junior from Olathe in journalism. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Concealed carry is a simple matter of personal safety for students In response to a fairly biased article and an editorial that lacked much substance, I'd like to reply to the issue of concealed carry on campus. First of all, I think it is important to understand the requirements for getting a concealed carry license. The applicant must be 21 years or older, take a class from a certified instructor and have no record of certain criminal activity. The entire list can be found on the Attorney General's website. Virginia Tech is an excellent example of why gun-free zones don't work. However, mass shootings aren't the only reason people want to carry. For every gun accident, which is usually the result of irresponsible use, there are thousands of responsible gun owners. These people have properly and safely checked their weapons to make sure they are clean and in good working order. In all likelihood, these guns will never be pointed at another person. Another reason is simple personal safety; walking on or near campus after the sun has gone down can be very dangerous. Concealed carry isn't about being a vigilante, and you will find very few CCH holders who believe that. Carrying is about personal protection. In reality, most who carry concealed have much more training than the minimum required by the state. These people know there is great responsibility attached to carrying a concealed weapon. Most importantly, one needs to understand that CCH on campus will not create an atmosphere of fear because you will never see a gun. People have been carrying concealed in Kansas for three years and public space has yet to turn into the streets of the Wild West. Kansans, including many people in their 20s, have been safely and responsibly carrying for a long time. I have no doubt that if this bill goes through, the atmosphere on campus will remain exactly how it is today. If you don't fear those who carry off campus, you have no reason to fear them on campus.

But with the iPad, apps have taken center screen. Developers are scrambling to have their iPad programs ready in time for Saturday's launch or shortly thereafter. And on Wednesday, top Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers — caught up in the enthusiasm for the forthcoming tablet - announced it was doubling its Apple iFund for app code writers to $200 million It's smart business. Many of these programmers learned a lesson from the launch of Apple's hit iPhone. In a highly competitive market for games, media readers and other applications, it's critical "They are scrambling like crazy.It's another form of land grab." to be early. And a lucky few — no one will say who — have been given access to the iPad to get their apps ready on time. Such is the attraction of the iPhone — and now iPad — ecosystem that Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers announced Wednesday it was upping its venture bet on promising applications. Being first to display iPad apps in the App Store gives developers an edge over competitors because being discovered is much easier when the number of iPad apps is small. Many will be lost in the crowd when the number of apps reaches into the thousands and then tens of thousands. There are now some 150,000 iPhone apps in the nearly two-year-old App Store. PETER FARAGO Vice president of marketing at Flurry for the iPad — either made exclusively for the new device or upgraded from the iPhone – will be available this weekend, but most speculate at least 200 will go on sale when Apple stores open their doors Saturday. In addition, most of the 150,000 apps that run on the iPhone will operate on the iPad. It's uncertain how many apps "It's definitely going to be important to be first out there," said Steve Demeter, a San Francisco developer whose puzzle game Trism was among the first apps in the App Store after it launched in July 2008. He says he made $250,000 in the first two months. The instant success enabled him to quit his job writing software for Wells Fargo and start his own app development company, Deniforge. "They are scrambling like crazy. It's another form of land grab," said Peter Farago, vice president of marketing at Flurry, a San Francisco-based mobile analytics company that gives developers a tool that compiles information about the use of their applications. According to its data, 40 percent of the apps being developed for the iPad are games. It's the ultimate street cred in the developer's world — getting hands on an iPad before it hits the market. While it's important to get apps out early, sad Clive Downie, vice president of marketing for the game developer, it's even more important that the apps be of high quality. "I think good games sell whenever, but good games that come out first are generally the titles that are the foundation of the (new) platform," he said. marimba one Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN Collin Watten, a senior from Lawrence, performs a segment on the xylophone Tuesday afternoon at Swarthout Recital Hall.

Sweet harmonies Widespread Internet piracy hurting Spain INTERNATIONAL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Picasso and bullfighting are cultural touchstones in Spain. Now add Internet piracy. The downloading and streaming of movies and television shows from the Web is a growing problem for the entertainment industry around the world. In a few key countries such as Spain, however, it has become what Hollywood executives are calling an epidemic that is forcing movie studios to consider no longer selling DVDs in the country. A cavalier attitude toward piracy has made it mainstream behavior in Spain. "Almost everybody I know downloads movies," said Mercedes Carrasco, 45, a student from Caceres who downloads about two movies each week. Said Juan, 41, an engineer from Madrid, "I don't think downloading movies for private use harms anybody." Juan, who declined to provide his last name, said he downloads five or six movies a month, including recently all six "Star Wars" movies. "It's like exchanging a book with friends." The country's minister of cul It's no surprise why average Spaniards think it's not a big deal: Unlike in the U.S., France and, under proposed legislation, Britain, piracy isn't against the law in Spain unless it's done for profit. ture, a former filmmaker who is backing a bill that would make it easier to shut off access to Web sites that facilitate piracy, blames the problem on deep-rooted cultural attitudes. "Traditionally in Mediterranean countries, it's hard for people to understand that immaterial things can be worth as much as material things," said Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde. Piracy is reshaping the movie business in Spain, much as it has done to the music business around the world. In 2003, there were 12,000 video stores in the country. By the end of 2008, there were 3,000. isn't filling the gap. Apple Inc.'s iTunes, the world's biggest digital media store, doesn't sell movies or television shows in Spain, as it does in Britain, France, and Germany. Legitimate digital distribution Between 2006 and 2008, illegal movie downloads in Spain went from 132 million a year to 350 million, according to research firm Media-Control GfK, at the same time that the number of DVDs sold or rented fell by 30 percent. Some studios now see Spain as a "lost market." People are downloading movies in such large quantities that Spain is on the brink of no longer being a viable home entertainment market for us," said Michael Lynton, chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Yes, that Area 51. The one that gets brought up when people talk about secret Air Force projects, crashed UFOs, alien bodies and, of course, conspiracies. The secrets, some of them, have been declassified. Noce, 72, and his fellow Area 51 veterans around the country now are free to talk about doing contract work for the CIA in the 1960s and '70s at the arid, isolated Southern Nevada government testing site. Their stories shed some light on a site shrouded in mystery; classified projects still are going on there. It's not a big leap from warding off the curious 40 or 50 years ago to warding off the curious who now make the drive to Area 51. The veterans' stories provide a glimpse of real-life government covert operations, with their everyday routines and moments of excitement. Noce didn't seek out publicity. But when contacted, he was glad to tell what it was like. "I was sworn to secrecy for 47 years. I couldn't talk about it," he says. In the 1960s, Area 51 was the test site for the A-12 and its successor, the SR-71 Blackbird, a secret spy plane that broke records at documented speeds that still have been unmatched. The CIA says it reached Mach 3.29 (about 2,200 mph) at 90,000 feet. But after September 2007, when the CIA displayed an A-12 in front of its Langley, Va., headquarters as part of the agency's 60th birthday, much of the secrecy of those days at Area 51 fell away. Advance warning to UFologists: Sorry, although Noce and other Area 51 vets say they saw plenty of secret stuff, none make claims about aliens. "I was sworn to secrecy for 47 years. I couldn't talk about it." But on to the secrecy part. at the site. It was, in CIA parlance, "a black project." JAMES NOCE Area 51 veteran Noce remembers always getting paid in cash and signing a phony name to the receipt during his several years of working security Noce says he has no paperwork showing that he worked at Area 51 for the CIA. He says that was common. Others who got checks say they came from various companies, including Pan American World Airways. But Noce is vouched for by T.D. Barnes, of Henderson, Nev., founder and president of Roadrunners Internationale, membership 325. Roadrunners is a group of Area 51 vets including individuals affiliated with the Air Force, CIA, Lockheed, Honeywell and other contractors. Barnes is the one who says he got checks from Pan Am, for whom he had never worked. for the past 2 years, they'd meet every couple of years at reunions they kept clandestine. Their first public session was last October at a reunion in Las Vegas at the Atomic Testing Museum.

But 10 yards away, with a football spinning in his hands, stood another player wearing red — the established color for quarterbacks during practices. Conner Teahan. A 6-foot-5 guard on coach Bill Self's basketball team, Teahan practiced for the first time Wednesday in an attempt to join the football team as a quarterback. Coach Turner Gill said the decision came from Teahan and then was approved by Self. Teahan will have three years of football eligibility. "Coach Self gave him his blessing, and I was willing to give him an opportunity," Gill said. "Obviously it's a long shot starting from all over. Even right now, we're two days in, and he's catching up on terminology." Mark Nusbaum, Rockhurst's basketball coach, said Teahan could've received more recruiting attention in football, but he alerted suitors early that his athletic interests rested on the basketball court. Teahan starred as a two-sport athlete at Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo., and drew interest from Division 1 teams in both sports. Still, he hasn't played organized football since his senior year of high school. Used as a reserve guard on Kansas' basketball team, Teahan played in 19 games this season. "I'm biased, but I think he's a good enough athlete to play Division I football or basketball," Nusbaum said. "But at the Big 12 level, I guess we're about to find out." During the 15 minutes when media members were allowed to watch Wednesday's practice. Teahan completed basic passing drills with the rest of the quarterbacks. He wore the No. 9 jersey and blue shorts, but did not wear pads with the rest of the jayhawks. He threw only short distances at the beginning of practice, but his passes spiraled tightly and generally appeared on target. "You just get him in throwing drills to begin with," offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Chuck Long said. "You don't put him in any team drills at this point. Just some throwing one-on-one drills." Teahan enters the football program at a time when every player truly has a fresh start. With the departures of quarterback Todd Reesing and one-time backup Kerry Meier, the Jayhawks enter the spring with an unproven cast. Reesing's backup, freshman Kale Pick, will return as well as freshmen Jordan Webb and Christian Matthews and junior Jacob Morse. Teahan will also compete with junior college transfer Quinn Mecham. "We're going to get him out here to see him throw and do things of that nature," Gill said. "Then at the end of spring football practice, can he be at the top of the list as far as challenging for a starting job?" Before the start of Wednesday's practice, Gill announced that three players were saddled with injuries while one more wouldn't participate in any drills this spring. INJURY UPDATES Gill said that freshman defensive end D.J. Marshall wouldn't compete during spring practices. Marshall was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma last season. He attended Wednesday's practice in his jersey. Gill said that junior defensive end Jake Laptad, freshman defensive tackle John Williams and junior linebacker Drew Dudley were battling shoulder injuries. All three started at times last season. "Those guys will be limited," Gill said. "They probably won't participate in any full and live scrimimages, but they will be participating in practice."

What initially appeared to be an insurance run and a feel-good moment for Eligie proved to be the difference in the game for Kansas (17-9), who ended up needing the run to edge Missouri State 7-6. After a timely pep talk from hitting coach John Szefc, sophomore Zac Elgie stepped to the plate to lead off the eighth inning with a vote of confidence. Elgie got the opportunity to start as designated hitter for Kansas, where coach Rich Price hoped to get his slumping bat jump started. "We've had a lot of different guys contribute so far this year," Elgie said. "To go out there and add to it, it's kind of special." His first two at-bats were unsuccessful, as he got jammed both times and popped up harmlessly to a member of the Bears infield.

KANSAS VS. TEXAS A&M COMMENTARY WHEN: 6 tonight WHERE: Hoglund Ballpark, Lawrence SEE BASEBALL GAMEDAY ON PAGE 8B Successful campaign for QB unlikely ALEXANDER BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansasan.com twitter.com/clark ooble In theory, walk-on basketball player Conner Teahan's attempted switch from reserve shooting guard to quarterback seems plausible. But in reality it is unreasonable to expect Teahan to make a Greg Pauluslike leap and take the starting position, or even first backup, for the 2010 Kansas football team. In high school, he was an all-district quarterback in a dominant football program at Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo. As a senior, he started ahead of Nathan Scheelhaease, a sophomore with a 4.5-40 yard dash who later committed to Illinois as a four-star quarterback. "If he were to concentrate on football, I think held be the No.1 quarterback in the country and one of the top 10 players regardless of position." Rivals.com recruiting expert Bobby Burton said of Paulus in 2004. Paulus, a Duke point guard turned Syracuse quarterback, had the resume for the move. In high school, he wasn't ranked against other football recruits because he was leaning toward playing college basketball. But Paulus was nevertheless a five-star quarterback. Teahan's situation is quite different. But with the offer to play point guard under Coach K at Duke, Paulus turned in his cleats for sneakers, only to return to football last year. Programs like Stanford, Washington and Wisconsin were interested in Teahank's potential as quarterback, but he chose to be a preferred walk-on at Kansas for the opportunity to play basketball for the team he loved as a kid. As football recruits, Paulus and Teahan are on completely different levels. In his first season as Syracuse's quarterback last year, Paulus didn't exactly blow the Carrier Dome roof off. Paulus threw 13 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Granted, he improved as the season wore on. If the potential No. 1 QB in 2005 didn't excel five years after taking off the helmet, expecting much more from a recruit that didn't make the top 250 three years after his last snap is ridiculous. Paulus was given the keys to the Syracuse offense from day one. The move generated such high publicity that it would have been silly for anyone else to run the helm. His presence was a big reason Syracuse's attendance in 2009 was up 14.3 percent from 2008. Even if Teahan could put up Paulus-type numbers, I would bet Gill would opt for the more dangerous Kale Pick or the more experienced Quinn Mecham. Paulus also faced no competition, as new coach Doug Marrone was content to ride through his quarterbacking bumps. But Teahan's presence won't fill Memorial Stadium. He also faces considerable competition. Pick's mobility, Mecham's experience and freshman Jordan Webb's tenacious drive for the job present large obstacles. You can be sure Gill won't hand over the keys to the Jayhawks' offense without letting the quarterbacks battle for the position. If Teahan can resurrect the talent he showed in high school, he has a shot to pass his spring tryout and play some role on next year's football team. But winning the starting job? Improbable at best. - Edited by Katie Blankenau SPORTS THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "Take this down.

Associated Press Catching the best souvenir MORNING BREW I've been to a lot of baseball games, but I've never caught a foul ball. Ive come close though. When I was little I went to a game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. A long rain delay caused a lot of the crowd to clear out, so my dad and I moved down to seats that were close to the field. During the game a batter hit a foul ball that went straight up behind home plate and back above the seats where we were sitting. I ran over to where the ball would come down and instead of catching it, I got trampled in a group of 20 adults. That was the closest I've ever come. 10.12.13 Trying to catch a foul ball really adds to the excitement of being at a baseball game. Every time I get to my seat at the beginning of a game, I ask myself two questions: Do I have a good or a bad view? Am I in a spot where I might catch foul balls? Obviously the ballparks are so large that not everyone is in position to catch a foul ball. So if a ball doesn't come your way, watch the reactions of ball-grabbing fans.

We care about this because all things Butler basketball are mabites-dog newsworthy in these Final Four-is-coming days and Leiendecker is at the epicenter. He is a 6-5 junior guard for the Bulldogs and while arthritic hips might limit his playing time, they don't limit his thrill about this weekend's opportunity. "It has been hard to sleep," he says.

But for as badly as Wildcats fans wanted to see their team finish the regular season on a positive note March 6, that's how badly the Mountaineers wanted to keep their momentum entering the Big East tournament. And Jay Wright could see it. T he Mountaineers, who shot just 24 percent in the first half, gained a 68-66 overtime victory, and look at what's happened since: three wins and the championship of the Big East, and four victories in the NCAA tournament, including Saturday's 73-66 win over top-seeded Kentucky in the East Regional final. "They scored only 16 points in the first half, but they kept themselves in it with defense and offensive rebounding," the Villanova coach recalled earlier this week. "The next thing you know, they got it going before the end. They started making shots and getting stops, and it was over." Weston White/KANSAN Now, for the first time since the legendary Jerry West got them to the 1959 NCAA championship game, the Mountaineers are in the Final Four. It is, according to Wright, because the team can defend and rebound like few around. "They can win when they're not making shots," Wright said. "They can create offense off their great defense. If they miss shots, they Huggins, 56. a West Virginia graduate whose only other appearance in a Final Four came at Cincinnati in 1992, likes the way his defense is playing. But he notes that's out of necessity because his offense is shooting only 40 percent in the tournament. BOB HUGGINS West Virginia coach "We're not going to score a whole lot of points," he said. "Our..." can get the offensive rebounds. There's no one in the country that can offensive-rebound like they do. They have great length." "Our guys want to win. So I think they understand we've got to do a great job of guarding." West Virginia has averaged 15 offensive rebounds in the tournament and outrebounded its opponents by nearly five per game. Defensively, the Mountainers, who employ a 1-3-1 zone much of the time, allowed fewer than 60 points in all of their postseason games except for Kentucky, and held their NCAA opposition to 33.9 percent shooting, 20.5 percent from three-point range. The dour Huggins might turn off some with his intense, unsmiling nature, but the guy can coach. His 670 career wins are fourth among active coaches, trailing want to win. So I think they understand we've got to do a great job of guarding." His biggest achievement to now might have come shortly after he took over the job in April 2007 from John Beilein, who left to coach Michigan. Huggins persuaded the players he inherited that they could be successful even if his style - a more aggressive, go-after-it approach - was different.

(2019) Kathleen Gier Lavin promises progress as St. John's new head coach COLLEGE BASKETBALL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE About halfway through his introductory monologue, new St. John's basketball coach Steve Lavin admitted he was drifting into an infiltrator. He was professing his new-found love for the university, its institutional virtues and proud tradition in basketball. "It a pinch yourself moment," he said, as if this was a dream. But he stopped himself. He knows this isn't Kansas, especially in a basketball sense, or the ESPN studio in Bristol, Conn., where the former UCLA coach talked the talk via the analyst route the last seven seasons. Lavin decided to make it real by getting to the point and staying on it. Everyone knew Lavin had style; ultimately he won the news conference by showing he also has substance. St. John's basketball needs a makeover and Lavin knows it, "it's one thing to talk about it, it's another thing to get it done," he said. "I'm well aware of that. I'm by no means naive or bright-eyed and bushy-tailed about what is going on in the college basketball landscape." University president Rev. Donald J. Harrington, who approved Lavin's six-year contract for over $9 million, added his own bottom line. "I would really hope within the next year or two to be competitive in the NCAA Tournament," he said. "Maybe that will be three, maybe one. But clearly I would want to see us in the top half of the Big East, I really would. Maybe that's a dream, but I would hope." Lavin, 45, was engaging, pointing out some relevant basketball history and giving props to Lou Carnesecca on the dais. But Lavin became more focused on what needs to get done to make some new history. Lavin anticipated questions about his lengthy time away from coaching — he was fired from UCLA — and the inference that his West Coast roots would make him a stranger to recruit- progress for a team that has not been in the NCAA Tournament since 2002. "The first goal is to get into the tournament, the next goal is to win some games," he said. "(Then), if you could win a Big East championship at some point. Again, incremental. Don't get carried away . . . (It does not happen) overnight, not a one hit wonder, but trying to build something gradually and that in itself "I'm by no means naive ... about what is going on in the college basketball landscape." ing in New York. He squashed that by saying, "Protect your backyard No. 1 and the northeast No. 2. He used the word incremental several times in predicting STEVE LAVIN St. John's University coach "I've studied it, watched it, know the trends," he said of the sport. "I know the people, I can see what is going on. I'm not wandering around the gyms of New York without knowing anybody or sitting on the sidelines like a shrinking violet afraid to talk to anybody. It's not as if I'm Mr. Magoo." adds momentum and takes on a life of its own. It's a tall task, some may say daunting. I look at it as the glass half full." Athletic director Chris Monasch said of Lavin, "He's old enough to have had a significant amount of experience, young enough to be hungry and have a long future." Lavin promised to assemble a top-flight staff and that may start with his mentor, Gene Keady, the former Purdue coach. Lavin hopes to bring him to New York as an adviser. Lavin will also quickly formulate an offseason program for his new players, nine of whom will be seniors next season. "What we do in the next six months," Lavin said, "will determine whether we can win games in February and March." NBA Despite loss, Bucks show improvement CLEVELAND — Mo Williams made four free throws in the final 12.8 seconds as the Cleveland Cavaliers held on for a 101-98 win Wednesday night over the vastly improved Milwaukee Bucks, who showed they might be a dangerous team in the playoffs. LeBron James scored 23 points and Williams 21 for the Cavs, who have won 10 of their past 11 and are closing in on the league's best record and home-court advantage throughout the postseason. seconds left to seal it With the win, the Cavaliers improved to 26-0 at home against Eastern Conference opponents in March under coach Mike Brown. John Salmons scored 28 points and Andrew Bogut had 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Bucks, who attempted just nine free throws — none in the fourth quarter — to 45 for Cleveland. Salmons' 3-pointer with 8.6 seconds left pulled Milwaukee to 99-98, but Williams, one of the NBA's best free-throw shooters at 89 percent, was fouled and knocked down two free throws. James then stole a pass by Luke Ridnour with two This one wasn't easy, though. The Bucks, who went 11-4 in March and climbed back into the playoff picture, overcame a 10-point deficit and took a 95-93 lead with 1:27 left on a 3-pointer by Ersan Ilyasova. The Cavs had been unable to separate from the Bucks in the fourth mostly because they kept missing free throws. They opened the period by going 5 of 11 from the line before James made two straight to tie it with 49.3 seconds left. Williams took the inbound pass and drove to the left side and into the lane before threading a bounce pass from under the rim to a cutting James, who muscled in his layup over Bogut to put the Cavs ahead. Salmons missed on Milwaukee's next possession and the Cavaliers called a timeout during which they set up a play that has worked all season.

SUA MARCH MADNESS SUA MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Low score from big men may hurt Duke High-scoring big men have often been a key ingredient on NCAA championship teams. Bill Russell led San Francisco to back-to-back titles in 1955 and 1956. Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton were the keys to UCLAs domination in the late 1960s and early '70s. Since 2004, North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough and Sean May, Connecticut's Emeka Okafor and Florida's tandem of Al Horford and Joakim Noah have been primary scorers for championship teams. Every NCAA champion since 2001 has had a low-post big man who averages at least 12 points per game. That's one luxury Duke doesn't possess in Indianapolis as it prepares for Saturday's 8:30 p.m. EDT NCAA semifinal game with West Virginia at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Blue Devils (33-5) are the only No.1 regional seed remaining in the tournament and are generally considered the favorite to win the championship. They have the highest-scoring threeseome in the nation in Jon Scheyer (18.2 ppg), Kyle Singler (17.6) and Nolan Smith (17.4). They play excellent defense and lead the ACC in rebound margin. But Duke's highest-scoring big man, Brian Zoubek, averages just 5.5 points per game. Coach Mike Krzyzewski admitted that having a high-scoring, low-post presence is ideal. "It's good to be balanced," he said. "... If you start with a point (guard) and a big, you can fill in easier (around it)." Nonetheless, Krzyzewski said Duke does possess some scoring ability in the low post. Unlike in many seasons, the Blue Devils have depth with four legitimate big guys in Zoubek at 7 feet 1, Lance Thomas at 6-8 and 6-10 brothers Miles and Mason Pumlume rotating at two true low-post positions. 2 KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 2010 / SPORTS 5B is not ament ment next next 's" he some Don't don't be hit itself itself utton on it on a some itting at it iirecnasch savin,ough a signt of young save a ble a start % the hopes as an quickly gram hom t six eter- nmes MLB Brewers sweep latest spring games have on cisco 1955 Bill ELAs and ean meka m of Noah for PHOENIX — Ray Olmedo's two-run double highlighted an eight-run eighth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied for a 12-7 victory against a Chicago Cubs split-squad Wednesday. The win gave the Brewers a three-game spring sweep of their National League Central Division rival. The Cubs had taken a 6-4 lead in the top of the seventh, using three doubles to produce three runs. Micah Hoffpauir's two-run was the big hit. Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo tuned up for his opening day start against Colorado on April 5 by giving up three hits in four shutout innings. First baseman Prince Fielder also appeared ready to go for the regular season, hitting a third-inning grand slam off the large blue batter's eye in center field. SURPRISE, Ariz. — Mike Sweeney hit an RBI double off the top of the right-field wall with two outs in the top of the ninth inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 7-6 on Wednesday. Mariners defeat Texas Rangers, 7-6 Willie Eyre walked Corey Pattern and Sweeney followed with his second double of the game. Sweeney finished 4 for 5 with three RBIs. Texas Rangers starter Rich Harden allowed four runs and eight hits over four 2-3 innings and was pulled after giving up a double to Milton Bradley and RBI single to Sweeney in the top of the fifth. He finished spring training with a 1-3 record and 9.67 ERA in six starts. Michael Young hit his first home run and Josh Hamilton and Vladimir Guerrero each doubled for the Rangers. Braves win in last spring season game six hits with two walks in four innings. He struck out three. KISSMMEE, Fla. — Troy Glaus had three hits and three RBIs to lift his spring training batting average to .413, and the Atlanta Braves topped the Houston Astros 10-5 Wednesday in their final spring training game. Brian McCann also drove in three runs, and rookie Jason Heyward and Martin Prado scored twice for the Braves. Derek Lowe was charged with three runs and Houston's Chris Johnson hit a two-run homer and finished with three RBIs, and Michael Bourn and Pedro Feliz both had two hits and a run scored. Wandy Rodriguez gave up nine runs and nine hits in two 1-3 innings in his final start of the spring as his ERA ballooned to 12.10.

Before that point, she was what made the Jayhawk offense click. A- JIMI CAREY As the focal point of Henrickson's transition based offense, Goodrich quickly established herself as one of the best point guards in the nation. It took her only 13 games to become the fastest Jayhawk to reach 100 assists. Her 7.1 assists-per-game was second in the conference and fourth in the NCAA before her injury. With McCray and Morris graduating, expect Goodrich to be the new face of this team. DANIELLE MCCRAY SENIOR GUARD The pre season Big 12 player of the year didn't always play like one, but she also never got her shot at redemption. After a somewhat streaky start to her season McCray B SAMUEL TOMAHEW McCray tore the ACL in her left knee in practice and was out for the season. She averaged 19.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game before the injury. SADE MORRIS, SENIOR GUARD Although her offensive game was inconsistent throughout the season, her shutdown defense was always her calling card. With Goodrich's and McCray's injuries, Morris had to step up as B+ the lone vocal leader, the defender of the opposition's best player and even point guard at times. MONICA ENGELMAN, FRESHMAN GUARD she missed quite a few shots, but remember that Engelman was thrown from the bench into a prominent starting role. As a freshman, she never seemed B daunted by her talented conference opposition. Engelman got to show off her silky shot and proved that she will be a worthy successor to McCray. Iris L. O'Reilly KRYSTEN BOOGAARD, JUNIOR CENTER Engelman C+ Boogaard was a puzzling player. She dominated the nonconference schedule and then disappeared when the Big 12 rolled around. Davis took her starting position, but PARKING Booqaard Boogaard normally looked strong off the bench. Some days, she was an unguardable force; other days, she just wasn't strong enough. AISHAH SUTHERLAND, SOPHOMORE FORWARD You simply never knew what you were going to get from Sutherland, who has possibly the most raw talent of any player in Kansaswomen's basketball history. Although C C Sutherland she had the ability to own her opposition, she rarely did so. Her team needed her to pick up the scoring slack after the injuries, but she still hovered around her usual 10 points and seven rebounds per game. Nothing more, nothing less. COACHING STAFF Some seri- some serious creativity is required to overcome two season-ending ACL injuries to arguably the two best players on your team. Henrickson and her staff successfully deployed multiple players into unconventional roles. Morris often played point guard at the end of the season. Junior guard Marisha Brown defended power forwards. Junior Nicollette Smith played every position but point guard. B+ D. Henrickson Assistant coach Karen Lange, who accepted the head coaching job at Mid-America Nazarene on Tuesday, helped sculpt Goodrich into one of the finest point guards in the country. Tamika Raymond instructed Davis to a surprising offensive splash. In a difficult season to piece together, hats off to this group of coaches. Edited by Sarah Bluvas MORRIS 20 ENGELMAN 13 K.J. 2 JACOBS 00 Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Senior guard Sade Morris high-fives sophomore forward Nicollette Smith during Kansas' game against Creighton in the second round of the WNIT last month. The Jayhawks survived a late run by Creighton, winning 71-68 and advancing to the Sweet Sixteen, where they fell to Illinois State, ending their season. Despite the team's record, Kansas has much to look forward to next season. Game of the season Kansas vs. UCLA KU Ucla BRUINS A Dec. 3 match against UCLA represented Kansas' toughest test early in the season. The Jayhawks entered the game as the No. 24 team in the nation and in desperate need of a victory. Just less than a week earlier Kansas had suffered through a disastrous trip to the Bahamas. The Jayhawks lost both of their games in the Junkanoo Jam in heartbreaking fashion. The Bruins held a 21-19 advantage heading into the locker room. In the second half, the stagnant Jayhawk offense rallied around Danielle McCray, their senior leader and team captain, as they fought back to score 35 second-half points. McCray fought to get around a screen to draw a late foul that wiped a UCLA three pointer off the board. The play helped seal the Jayhawks' 54-49 victory and sparked a seven-game win streak. UCLA was also one of only three NCAA tournament teams that Kansas defeated this season. "It it feels great,"freshman guard Monica Engelman said after the game. "We've been holding our heads down a little bit because of our losses, but we're feeling strong now" Game to forget Kansas at Kansas State The Jayhawks entered Manhattan on Jan. 9 seeking to end an nine-game losing streak in the KU city. From the start, Kansas played poorly. It fell behind by a margin of 14-3 in just under 10 minutes of game time. During that span, the Jayhawks shot a miserable 1-for-15 from the floor, good for a shooting percentage of 6.7 percent. Kansas managed to chip away at the lead, and it entered halftime down by just two points with the score at 24-22. Then the Jayhawks flopped in the second half, scoring only 13 points to lift its final point total to 35; tied for the worst mark in school history. "We've closed the gap from a talent perspective, but I feel like we haven't played with the toughness or poise you need to play here or play anywhere on the road," coach Bonnie Henrickson said following the 59-35 loss to Kansas State. "I'm still a little lost as to why." Making the loss more devastating in retrospect is that Kansas still had its full complement of players entering the game. Even that was not enough to save it from another embarrassment in the Little Apple. Defining moments Morris joins the 1,000-point club Just three games into the regular season, senior guard Sade Morris exploded for the best game in her illustrious career during a Nov. 22 victory against Michigan. Morris entered the contest needing just 24 points to earn 1,000 career points. Morris surpassed that mark along with her previous career high for points scored in a game — 24 — as she scored 26 points to take control of the Kansas offense in the victory. Freshman guard Angel Goodrich falls McCray tearsher ACL Goodrich was in the middle of a solid game in a Jan. 12 loss to Oklahoma State, and then with less than five minutes to play the freshman guard crumpled to the ground. The next day it was announced Goodrich had torn the ACL in her right knee. The injury changed the complexion of Kansas' offense. Whereas before the Jayhawks relied on a fast-paced offense built around Goodrich's incredible ability to find open players, they now had to rely even more on the offensive capabilities of McCray in the halfcourt set offense. Just days before a Feb. 9 rematch with Kansas State, Danielle McCray tore her ACL in practice. The injury prematurely ended the career of one of the greatest Kansas women's basketball players and once again forced Kansas to alter its offensive game plan. From that point forward, the Jayhawks began to develop a game centered more on production in the paint. McCray's injury also opened the door for young players to step in and produce. The ascension of freshmen Davis and Engelman Freshman guard Monica Engelman replaced Danielle McCray in the starting lineup, joining her fellow freshman Carolyn Davis in the starting five. In many of the Jayhawks' games down the stretch, their success seemed to revolve around the production of Davis and Engelman. When both freshmen performed well, Kansas competed better in games. When even one of the freshmen struggled, Kansas followed suit. Davis averaged 12.5 points per game throughout Big 12 play en route to becoming a member of the All Big 12 freshman team. Next season's outlook Despite finishing 10th in the Big 12 this season, Kansas has plenty to look forward to when it returns to Allen Fieldhouse for the 2010-2011 season.

The Seminoles played UConn last season and lost. They played UConn this season and lost. Perhaps they could write the foreword? DAYTON, Ohio — There is no guidebook to beating the seemingly unbeatable UConn women. Who would write it? Stanford? It would be two years old by now, as irrelevant as a guide to making money in the stock market. Nor does the key lie in repeated opportunities. Ask Louisville last season. Three up, three down. How about Notre Dame this season? Three pitches, three strikes. Then they played UConn again Tuesday night for the right to go to their first Final Four. And they lost again, 90-50, before 5,280 at the University of Dawton Arena. "Boy, they make you play ugly," she said. "We couldn't stop them. Obviously, giving up 90 points in an NCAA game isn't going to get you a win." At least Florida State coach Sue Semrau has a good opening paragraph working. It was the Huskies' 76th straight win. Led by first-team All-Americans Maya Moore (22 points, eight rebounds) and Tina Charles (20 points, 14 rebounds), the Huskies rolled into their third consecutive Final Four. "It doesn't matter how many times you get to go to the Final Four." UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "This is one of the great days in college basketball for a player and a coach. Everyone may have thought this was a foregone conclusion. But that's not how we think." Moore was named the Dayton Regional's Most Outstanding Player. Charles and Kalana Greene, who had 15 points (6-for-6) and six rebounds Tuesday, made the All-Regional team. Tiffany Hayes had 13 points, seven assists and five rebounds. Florida State (29-6) was led by senior center Jacinta Monroe, who ended her college career with 15 points and eight rebounds before fouling out with 4:09 to play. As usual for UConn opponents, the Seminoles could not score. They shot only 18-for-63 (28.6 percent) "We didn't give UConn a good showing," Monroe said. The Huskies (37-0) are two wins away from their second consecutive unbeaten national championship season. Sunday night at 9:30, UConn plays No.14 Baylor in the second national semifinal. Press All-Americans — Moore for the third time — Charles and Moore dominated the first half. And they took turns doing it. This will be UConn's 11th Final Four appearance. "I'm definitely looking forward to going to the Final Four." Charles said. "This is the last go-round for the seniors, and Kalana and I talk about that all the time." "Now that will be one of the more intriguing matchups you'll see," Auriemma said. "At least (Brittney Griner, Baylor's 6-foot-8 center) won't be blocking my shots." "Boy, they make you play ugly. We couldn't stop them." Moore scored 11 of UConn's first 15 points but picked up two fouls early and was out for the half, with 13:12 remaining and the Huskies up 17-9. Two years ago in Tampa, Fla., the Huskies lost to Stanford in the semifinals. Since then, 76 doublefigure victories line the highway to history. The Huskies have won their first four tournament games by a total of 188 points. Once Moore left, Charles took over. She scored all of her 16 first-half points in the final 12:20 and also ended the half with 11 rebounds. "That is a great example of our team," Moore said. "We nick On the day they were both named first-team Associated SUE SEMRAU Florida State coach up for each other. It's frustrating to have put myself in that position (with two fools), but my teammates were there and stuck with what was working. And that was Tina Charles." So it was clear Florida State was no clearer on how to take either Moore or Charles out of the offensive flow. UConn's other players accounted for only 15 points in the half, but the Huskies led 42-28 at the break. "It was a good first half, but a difficult first half," Auriemma said. Moore returned to start the second half like she did the first, scoring seven of UConn's first nine over 2:56 to increase the lead to 52-32. Her three-pointer with 17:04 left seemed to take the heart out of the Seminoles. The Huskies outscored them 27-8 in the first eight minutes and thoughts suddenly shifted to San Antonio.

The Jayhawks have used a high-powered offense to counter somewhat ineffective starting pitching. QUESTION MARK Will Kansas' starting rotation return to form? Kansas' top three starters began the year as expected, turning in eight quality starts in 11 games. But since the series in St. Louis (3/20) all three — Walz, and seniors Cameron Selik and Brett Bollman — have mostly struggled, putting additional pressure on the offense to carry the Jayhawks to victories. BY THE NUMBERS 12-7 — Kansas' record in games where Bollman, Selik or Walz pitched 7-2 Kansas' record in games where Bollman, Selik or Walz threw a quality start 9-3 KU's record in games where Bollman, Selik or Walz allowed four earned runs PLAYER TO WATCH T.J. Walz With the series bumped up a day because of Easter, Walz will get the nod on Thursday instead of his usual Friday slot. Even with the change of day and his recent struggles, there's no mistaking Walz is still the Jayhawks' top starter, and needs to produce a toplevel outing to start the series off on a high note. T Walz QUOTES "I'm seeing the ball really well and have a lot of confidence in myself and my swing. I feel really good about my approach — like the pitcher can't get me out, and that's a good feeling." senior second baseman Robby Price about his current success at the plate B Price "If we don't pitch well with our starters, then we'll have very little chance to win with the quality of arms that A&M's going to run out there." Coach Ritch Price on the importance of pitching against the Aggies Ben Ward Pitchers prepared to face hard-hitters BY ANDREW HAMMOND ahammond@kansan.com In the conference home opener today, Kansas' pitching staff — a shaky unit so far this season — will face a tough test from the hard-hitting Texas A&M Augies. "We have to get quality starts," coach Ritch Price said. "If we don't get those quality starts then we're going to struggle like last week at Baylor." Since the conference opener against Baylor four games ago, pitching has been a serious issue. The Jayhawks haven't had a starter go beyond seven innings, mainly because of unproductive and inefficient outings. In Wednesday's victory against Missouri State, six pitchers were in action for the Jayhawks. This plan was used to rest the usual starters and to save the main pitchers for this weekend. hitting teams in the Big 12: They are in the top five in the Big 12 in total batting. They are also conference leaders in triples. But the Aggies rarely walk; they have the fewest walks in the conference with 60. The Jayhawks gave up 14 walks in the three-game series against Baylor last week. "We've been up and down" freshman pitcher Tanner Poppe said. "I think other than Sunday at Baylor, when our bullpen played well, we've struggled." "It's just throwing strikes and pitching well," junior pitcher T.J. Walz said. "Giving up walks has been my enemy lately." The Aggies come into the series as one of the best Texas A&M's Brodie Greene could possibly give Kansas' pitching staff some issues. The All Big 12 second baseman last season is having another solid year for the Aggies. He is in the top three in hitting with 37 hits this season, serving as the catalyst for an offense that is scoring slightly more than six runs per game while averaging almost eleven hits per game. "A&M is one of the best hitting teams in the conference," Price said. "Every time we're on the mound, we're going have to be at the top of our name." Edited by Allyson Shaw Scott Heitshusen AXING THE AGGIES Kansas'shaky pitching staff will be tested today KANSAS VS NO.21 TEXAS A&M 6 p.m., Lawrence TEXAS A&M OPENING PITCH ATAGLANCE Rob Childress has the No. 2 pitching staff in the Big 12 ready to face the Jayhawks in a three-game set starting today. The Aggies are 4-2 in Big 12 play but were defeated in their last game against Texas State in a 6-5, 11-inning thriller. It ended in a walk-off single by the Bobcats. QUESTION MARK Can the Aggies win a slugfest with Kansas? The Aggies may have more power at the plate than the Jayhawks. Brodie Greene and Joe Patterson are in the top five of the Big 12 in hits, each with 37. The Jayhawks pitching has been shaky as of late, so if a high-scoring game ensues, don't count the Aggies out too quickly. BY THE NUMBERS 60 Times Texas A&M has been walked this season.The next lowest is Oklahoma State with 85. 44 — Errors the Aggies have in 2010 250 — Strikeouts the A&M pitchers have so far this season. PLAYER TO WATCH Brodie Greene Greene, a senior, is one of the top players in the Big 12. He was named to the All Big 12 team at second base in 2009 and in conference games he had a .375 batting average. This season Greene is showing a little work. Defensively he has a .982 fielding percentage. Brodie also know how. he is second on the team with six hit by pitches. IU2486 Greene WHO WILL WIN THE SERIES? Kansas is not a complete team with its pitching woes of late. The Aggies have not been tested on the road, but they do have the key to winning a road game: pitching and a high-powered offense. The winner of this series probably won't be decided until the third game on Saturday. — Andrew Hammond HPV Fact #8: Guys can't get screened for HPV.

I work with children and adults to help them learn how to navigate the complexities of the world around them. I also provide support and guidance to families facing challenges such as poverty, homelessness, mental health issues, and substance abuse. At Rousseau Elementary School, I wasn't the girl who played nice on the playground — I played rough. While my friends huddled together against the brick wall, playing make-believe games or gossiping, I preferred to be on the make-shift soccer field of boys. We played between two wire-caged goals, on a combination of dirt and gravel that somehow found its way into my bloody knees, causing frequent trips to the nurse post-recess for bandages. My playground pastime soon became a serious sport. I found a home guarding the net as goalie. It was an unusual role for a girl of my small size, but I was fast, and thrived on being able to single-handedly save a game. My fearlessness didn't come without cost. In fifth grade, I broke my right wrist in a collision with an offensive player. But she didn't score on me. My obsession continued on through the years, but as a teenager, soccer took a backseat to getting recruited to play college volleyball. I was forced to give up my first sport, but my soccer skills didn't disappear. In my high school's weight training class we had a game day every week, and I was beyond ecstatic when we played kickball. As I lined up at home plate, I knew to point my toe down and kick with the inside of my foot to get the best result. The red rubber ball slowly rolled across the hardwood floor, taking one final bounce before I thrust my leg forward, sailing the ball off of my samba shoes. It hit above the black and gold lines painted on the back wall of the gym — home run. I leisurely jogged around the bases, gloating with an achievement I'd perfected in my youth. Playground games don't have to disappear with childhood. Check out Taylor's story on page 13 about the kickball teams and organizations here in Lawrence. Sometimes, those silly games we play as kids can turn into an all-consuming passion for athletics. I will always be that competitive soccer player running for miles and wanting to be better than the boys.

Off the top of my head, I can only think of two. Gravity does exist, and Boogie Nights is the greatest movie ever made. In the world of romantic relationships, however, no universal claims can be made. Unfortunately, I cannot give one or two pieces of advice that are going to work with 100 percent of couples. It's funny, then, that the question I get asked the most is, "What is a sure-fire way to get a man or woman in bed with me?" To be honest, I don't know if there is one clear answer. Everyone is different in what they find attractive, and how they want to be seduced. But in the interest of the upcoming summer of love, I have three ideas for you. If you have one of these things, great; if you have two, even better; if you have three, call me. 1) Learn to cook. I think we all agree that food can be a major aphrodisiac. The ability to know and cook fine food is sexy, and lets the other person know you have fine tastes. 2) Know how to give a great massage. The touch and contact that is associated with a massage is highly sensual, intimate and often erotic. A great massage after great food will breed seduction. 3) Be funny. Everybody loves to laugh, and a sense of humor or smile is one of the biggest turn-ons for both males and females. We all love a good smile, and we all love when someone can make us smile. I know you're probably thinking I'm crazy to leave out looks. Sure, if you look like Brad Pitt or Halle Berry, it's going to be easier, but the majority of seduction is mental. Only a bit of it is physical. And anyone that can do those three things listed above will build attraction and increase seduction. Do you have a question for Kansas in Heat?

BROOKLYN JANUARY 2014 HOMETOWN: Chicago MAJOR: History YEAR: Sophomore INTERESTED IN: Men Turn-ons: Air-max tennis shoes. Air-max shoes are my kryptonite. Turn-offs: Excessive nose hair is a huge turn off, along with incessant self-depreciation. Of course, texting my friend and I the same heartfelt text message while we are hanging out together is not only a turn off, but kind of embarrassing. Hobbies: I love to play tennis, illustrate, and don't mind vacationing in incredibly warm and beautiful places. I have the most fun being active with my friends, so my hobbies tend to not be leisurely. But I do enjoy being leisurely and engaging in fun hobbies separately. Interests: I love fun facts. They are the perfect mix of education and enjoyment. I like cooking, playing lacrosse or tennis and robots. Not necessarily in that order. Type: Is Jeff Spicoli a type? Ideal characteristics in a partner: Being able to not turn me off. I like trimmed nose hair, confidence and a sense of humor of course. Sixty percent of the jokes I tell are pretty bad, so having a sense of humor would allow you to make up for that necessary 40 percent." Favorite pick-up line: "Hey, I have two Budweiser Bleacher tickets at Wrigley Field that I need to share. You seem like a perfect candidate. By the way, would you mind taking this adorable boxer puppy into your custody as well?" Worst date: The date I went on during my early years of high school when my sister kept popping up coincidentally, only to find that she received payment from my mom to trail me. She is easily persuaded. I would have doubled that ten dollars in order to eliminate her uniring appearances. Best date! He told me he was going to buy me something special and he ended up taking me to a thrift store in the city and we got the most ridiculous outfits we could find. We decided to walk around the city and ended up at the Mexican Independence Parade on Columbus Drive, consequently walking right into it. Not really romantic, but the most fun I've ever had on a date thus far. Ideal date: You know, the usual stuff, going to a private Krayzie Bone concert, scaling Everest, listening to audio-books on the beach or talking politics over a Bobby-Flay-prepared meal. But hey, I'm not picky. Favorite quote: "Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?" Getaway: Sevilla, Spain — the people, the weather; the festivals. Everything is amazing there. Dream job! Director of fun at a museum. Yes, that job exists. Are you a catch of the week? Know any good catches?

Onaga senior, roll over Griffin's foot. Practicing for his new intramural soccer team. Flattery says he remembers thinking to himself that he didn't know if he'd be able to get along with his new teammate if he continued to act like he was afraid of the ball. all great relationships had to start somewhere. Griffin soon redeemed himself to Flattery that evening as the two finished up practice and decided to go out together with the soccer team. That night sparked a chemistry between Flattery and Griffin and they soon developed a "pseudo-relationship," as they called it. "We called each other 'pseudo,' meaning almost boyfriend, because we didn't want to take it too fast," Griffin says. The pseudo-bond only lasted a couple of months because both Flattery and Griffin had individual plans for that summer. But the two remained good friends for the next two years, sharing mutual friends and still caring about each other. "I had secretly always had something for Billy ever since I found out that he was interested in me. Even when we were apart, dating other people and just being friends, there was always some chemistry and it just took the right time for it to all come together." Flattery says. During fall break last semester, the two reignited their romance, both knowing in their hearts that they had cared for each other all along. "We started getting to know each other again, but on a different level, and we made it official on December 26, 2009," Flattery says. Griffin still has another year left at the University and will graduate next May. During that year, Flattery, a dance major, says he wants to dance on a cruise line or with a company while Griffin finishes school. After the two graduate, Flattery and Griffin plan on building a life together in Chicago, where Griffin was born. // LESLIE KINSMAN Contributed photo ALEXANDER BALENE Teammates at heart, Billy Griffin (left), and Tim Flattery, both Onaga seniors, met while playing a game of pick-up soccer on campus.

HEALTH that's disgusting // DIRTY DISHES dude. gross. Between you and your roommates, the kitchen sink can fill up fast in a day, and could stay that day until the end of the week. But as quickly as overnight, dirty dishes can sprout fungi, says Kevin McCluskey, curator at the Fungal Genetics Stock Center in Kansas City, Mo. "Most environmental fungi that could grow on left out food are completely harmless," McCluskey says. 57 But according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, dirty dishes and utensils should be washed within two hours to keep your sink and food preparation area clean. If left unclean, bacteria that thrive on dirty dishes can spread to countertops and unrefrigerated food. According to the CDC, these can be the cause of diarrhea, botulism, or even cholera. In extreme cases, dirty dishes can also attract rodents. Photo illustration by Adam Vossen Dish it out. Leaving dirty dishes stacked in the sink can not only allow fungi to grow, but can also spread to countertops and other food if not cleaned in a timely manner. Hand-washing dishes is recommended by the CDC, but even getting them to the dishwasher is a step in the right direction for the average undergrad. (2) // ADAM VOSSEN sometimes it's hard to tell. good for you bad for you // LOOFAHS After hearing that it's good to occasionally scrub off dead skin, Ladini Jayaratne now uses a loofah every time she showers. Usually costing no more than $1 at stores, loofahs provide some of the cheapest exfoliation available. "After I did it once and felt how baby-bottom-smooth my skin was, I became obsessed," says lavaratte, Olathe junior. The scrubby shower tool is a good way to remove dead skin cells, but when left in the warm and wet environment of a shower it can create a health risk by harboring many germs. This is especially true in communal showers used widely on college campuses. The germs on a loofah can vary, but usually they are staphylococcus, says Joel Schlessinger, dermatologist in Omaha, Neb. and president of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery. "Staphylococcus can produce a hair follicle infection — folliculitis — that is very nasty," he says. These germs can be avoided. Schlessinger recommends cleaning the loofah weekly in boiling water or buying a new one after a week of use. If skin is not moisturized after using a loofah, it can also become dry and flaky. The results of loofahs are a mixed bag. Although it can do a good job of exfoliating, it can also harbor many germs and potentially harm skin more than help. "Typically those negatives outweigh the positives," Schlessinger says. VERDICT: BAD FOR YOU. // ADAMVOSSEN PAGE 2 Rub a dub dub. Although loofas can help extolize skin, dermatologist Joel Schissinger notes that the shower tool may accumulate germs, and can cause dry skin.

Shacking up certainly feels good, but it can also improve your health in several ways. The benefits of sex and experiencing an orgasm can range from head to toe for both men and women. College-aged individuals might not worry about starting good sexual habits, but thinking about those habits now can have big benefits later in life, says Joni Frater and Esther Lastique, partners and authors of Love Her Right: The Married Man's Guide to Lesbian Secrets for Great Sex. You might think that your heart racing is just part of being turned on, but sex can be as good of a cardio workout as time spent at the gym. Thirty minutes of sexual activity can burn a minimum of 150 calories, and the more active you are in bed the more calories you can burn. "I'd rather be horizontal with a smile on my face than vertical on a treadmill." Lastique says. With any kind of exercise that raises your heart rate, sex can dramatically reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease. For men, having sex on a regular basis can reduce the chances of developing erectile dysfunction. Because ED is caused by problems with blood flow to the penis, the authors liken it to a "heart attack in your pants" and say that men with ED are also at risk for an actual heart attack. Having sex on a regular basis is also pressure to keep in good shape, says Logan Jones, Frankfort junior. He says staying in shape not only helps you look better but helps you last longer and stay flexible. "It really helps me relieve stress, which is especially helpful around midterm time," Jones says. Jones also recommends using sex to solve any relationship dispute; Just "bang it out." This can help you focus on the good qualities of the person you're dating, he says. Staying sexually active can also prevent testosterone levels from declining, which happens as men age. Testosterone levels are linked to many aspects of a man's health. Alzheimer's patients are reported to have low testosterone levels and testosterone is linked to other brain functions. Men with low testosterone may have lower libidos, gain weight as they age and may have a higher risk of developing clinical depression. Having sex can lower the risk of all of these. Frater says, A man in his 20s that ejaculates five times a week can also lower the risk of prostate cancer by a third, she says. Another benefit of sex is that it increases the amount of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or IgA. These antibodies protect you from getting colds and infections. The release of hormones during sex can also have multiple benefits. Oxycytin is a hormone that helps build intimacy with your partner, but it can also work as a painkiller, along with endorphins. Endorphins improve mood and can lift depression. After sex, Katie Hogan, Topeka junior, feels elated and glowing from the endorphin release. "I think there's a noticeable difference in myself that comes with an intimate, monogamous relationship," she says. Hogan says she thinks the physical expression of love is healthy for a relationship and makes her feel more desirable. The benefits of sex for women are good, but the benefits of a female orgasm are greater. Frater and Lastique say. The risk of breast cancer, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's are all shown to decline if a woman has orgasms on a regular basis. Sex's role as a painkiller can also alleviate menstrual pain. The authors acknowledge that for many college-aged women, an orgasm may seem difficult to reach because college-aged men may not be skilled or considerate enough to help. Masturbation can often be an alternative, and the benefits are still relevant, such as lowered risk for post-partum depression, heightened confidence and more comfort in sexual situations. An orgasm makes Emily, Lenexa senior, feel energized and she says having sex on a regular basis with her boyfriend gives her incentive to stay physically fit. "If you're missing out on sex, then you're missing out on a great thing that is good for you too." Emily says. So when you get that feeling that you want sexually healing, take Marvin's advice and give your body some of the best and most fun natural medicine there is.

Sex not only allows for personal enjoyment, but it can also be a good dose of cardio, relieve stress and lower the risk for breast cancer in women. So get between the sheets and improve your health. sex TIPS The authors of Love Her Right: The Married Man's Guide to Lesbian Secrets for Great Sex. Dr. Joni Frater and Esther Lastique, give the following tips to men and women for increasing satisfaction during sex. 1. Have oral sex. Oral sex is often the best way for children to learn. 2. Have a night of mutual masturbation to show each other what you like. This will build intimacy in the relationship as well as lead to more fulfilling sexual experiences. 3. Let the woman come first. "It is really easy for guys in their 20s to climax, but not for girls'. Frater says. Letting her come first will make sex better for both of you and keep her coming back for more. 4. Experiment with positions. "Missionary was good for the missionaries, and that's about it." Lastique says. Trying different positions may produce some awkward moments, but it could also produce some great sex. 5. Don't be afraid to experiment with toys. The toys shouldn't be thought of as a replacement, but as an enhancer. The body can't always reach every spot, so a toy can really take things to the next level. 6. Use words in bed. Be comfortable talking about what you like and how you like it done. 7 04 01 10 ★ FEATURE taking care of man's best friends What to consider before getting a pet during college Farnished feline. Many college students consider getting a pet during their time in school but not all fully think through the costs and time commitment required to care for a dog or cat. S ince I started college I knew I wanted to adopt a pet. Freshman year, my roommate and I had our share of mice venture into our dorm, but they didn't quite fill the void. When I signed my apartment lease last summer, I immediately made plans to adopt a cat. When I went to the Humane Society and saw the adorable cats, I could feel my heart melting. I probably held 30 or 40 cats that day, but as I was about to leave I decided to hold Brize, an 8-month-old black-and-white longhair. As I picked her up, my paws gripped my shoulders, giving me a big kitty hug — it felt like the perfect match. I decided to name my cat Bella and I was excited to bring her home. I spent the next few months being woken up at sunrise by Bella sitting on my nightstand crying bloody murder to feed her. Eight months later, she courteously waits until 8 a.m. to knock my phone off the charger and bat me in the face with her shockingly sharp claws. Luckily, this nagging is the worst of Bella's behavior. Adopting a pet is a commitment that requires a lot of preparation. Mark Stickney, clinical assistant professor and director of general surgery services at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, says students should consider several factors before adopting a pet, including time obligations, financial commitments and lifestyle adjustments. Does Fido fit into your busy schedule? Stickney says the most important thing to consider before bringing home a pet is having the time to care for it. "You need to have time to housebreak it, socialize it, obedience train it, take it for walks and exercise, play with it and take it in for vet care." Stickney says. Danielle Saale, Overhand Park senior, got her shitzu-toy poodle puppy, Izzie, as a Christmas present and had to adjust her daily schedule according to Izzie's needs. Initially, Izzie got up at 6 a.m., but after a few months she learned to sleep in. Saale says. Saale lets Izzie out before heading to class and again when she returns. She then plays with Izzie to prepare her for an afternoon nap. If Saale doesn't reserve time to play, Izzie lets her know. "She gets really upset when my roommate and I are watching TV and not paying attention to her, so she'll go lie upside down in the middle of the floor in front of the TV to try to get us to look at her." Saale says. Aside from school, Saale works at night, so she relies on her roommate to watch Izzie until she returns. Saale lets Izzie out one last time before bringing her to bed. When Natalie Langford's parents surprised her with an 8-week-old puggle (a pug-beagle mix) for Christmas two years ago, she was immediately charmed by him. Langford, Lenexa senior, had been considering getting a dog for awhile, but hadn't thought through how a dog would fit into her busy lifestyle. With 16 hours of school on top of work, Langford only had time in the morning. late at night and on the weekends to play with her puppy, Cooper. "When I wasn't home he had to be in a kennel or locked in my room." Langford says. "I started to realize that he was spending more time being cooped up than being played with and I knew how incredibly unfair that was to him." After four months of consideration, Langford decided Cooper deserved a home with someone who could devote time to his needs. Langford found a couple who adopted Cooper from the Humane Society the next day. If you don't consider how a pet will work with your lifestyle, you may face difficult consequences. "Giving Cooper away was one of the worst experiences I've had to go through," Langford says. "I knew how unfair my lifestyle was to him and even though it was incredibly difficult, it was the right decision." Different breeds also require different time commitments. Since they are pack-oriented, dogs require constant interaction, and although cats 04 01 10 8 FEATURE ✩ are more independent, they still require love and socialization. Play sessions with your cat provide it with physical and mental stimulation and strengthens the bond you share. "As much as I want everyone to adopt a pet, if you're gone all the time, I suggest you wait until you can devote the proper time, energy and love to that special companion." says Megan Blake, celebrity pet expert and former host of the PBS show Animal Attractions TV. Blake suggests going to an animal shelter to look for a pet because many need to be rescued. According to The Humane Society of the United States, every eight seconds a cat or dog is euthanized in a U.S. shelter — which is approximately four million pets a year. The Lawrence Humane Society shelters approximately 7,500 dogs, cats and other small animals each year. It costs $50 to adopt a dog or cat if the pet is already spayed or neutered, but an additional spay/neuter fee is charged for unsterilized pets. Will Fluffy break the bank? When her boyfriend's aunt found an abandoned boxer-pit bull mix, Ashley Kohlenberg, Louisburg junior, couldn't help but be tempted. Kohlenberg and her boyfriend saw the dog, which was malnourished and beaten up, and fell in love instantly. Kohlenberg had a cat, Josie, but wasn't sure if she could also take care of a dog. "With food and vet bills it all adds up," Kohlenberg says. 'Puppies and kittens grow up to be dogs and cats. They're not always cute and tiny." Mark Stickney, veterinarian According to the ASPCA, the first year of pet ownership can cost an average of $1,000 for a cat and as much as $1,800 for a large dog. Some of the costs potential pet owners need to consider are visits to the veterinarian, vaccinations, flea and tick control, food, grooming, identification tags and boarding or pet-sitting when the owner goes out of town. "Your pet's life will revolve around you so you need to make sure you can alter your budget to support it," Stickney says. Gail Buchwald, senior vice president of the Adoption Center at the ASPCA, says although most owners anticipate routine costs, they aren't prepared for unexpected needs. "Animals get sick without notice and lots of everyday items can be extremely harmful to your pet," Buchwald says. Students may not realize if their pet gets into party leftovers such as chocolate or alcohol, they may have to make an emergency trip to the vet resulting in expensive bills. Is your living space pet-friendly? A common problem students with pets face is finding a place to live. Small dogs and cats tend to be better suited to the space of an apartment. Larger, more active dogs need a yard to play in, and Stickney says potential owners need to anticipate their future needs. "Puppies and kittens grow up to be dogs and cats," Stickney says. "They're not always cute and tiny." Blake says you must also consider current and potential roommates when having a pet. Saale discussed getting lzzie with her roommates at the time, and their preferences helped Saale decide on the right dog. "At first I wanted a big dog like a lab, but one of my roommates doesn't like big dogs," Saale says. Saale lives in an apartment now, which she says also influenced her decision to get a small dog. Potential pet owners must also consider other factors regarding their roommates. They must ensure roommates don't have pet allergies, which can cause a great deal of conflict. Blake says you should also evaluate your roommates' furniture, lifestyle and personal property before getting a pet to be respectful of shared living space. Most importantly, pet owners should make sure the landlord allows pets. Considering future living arrangements is also important, since options may be limited owning a pet. Apartments that allow pets may have restrictions on the number of pets or breeds allowed. Some prohibit stereotypically aggressive breeds such as pit bulls or rotweilers. Some pet-friendly apartments enforce weight limits, so having a large dog may cause trouble finding proper living arrangements. There may also be a hefty pet deposit and monthly pet rent fees. Why they're worth the work Although there's a lot to think about before owning a pet, there are many benefits. With the immense pressure college students face, Buchwald says a pet can be beneficial because pets relieve stress and form a loving relationship with their owner. According to an American Animal Hospital Association survey, 76 percent of respondents said their stress levels were reduced by their companion animals. Buchwald also says pets can be a good determinant of the compatibility of a potential romantic partner. "If someone says they don't like animals at all, then that should probably raise a red flag immediately." Buchwald says. Many owners hold their relationship with their pets to a high level of importance. In 2006, nearly half of all pet owners considered their pets to be family members, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. If you've weighed your options and are trying to decide if you're ready to own a pet, Saale suggests pet-sitting a friend or family member's pet. "I brought my parents' dog to Lawrence with me for a week or two," Saale says. "I think it really helped me decide that I was ready." Jp DOG Furry fun. Though taking care of a pet can be costly and time-consuming, there are, of course, many benefits Pets can reduce stress and contribute to their owner's overall well-being, not to mention they're just damn cute.

Elizabeth Marshall, owner of Bikarm Yoga College of India and one of the premier Bikram Yoga teachers in the Midwest, comes to the studio and watches her pupils transform their bodies through her craft. "I'm inspired watching people getting off of anti-depressants or fixing their knees or losing weight," she says. In the morning, Marshall comes to the studio and practices with her teachers, providing feedback for the training she oversees. She then goes through the workout and poses with students, or teaches, where she stands aside and directs through the hour-and-a-half long workout. Marshall says she believes it's important that student learn to listen and complete the practice themselves. As a teacher, she cares the program to the needs of each student, whether a dedicated athlete or a full-time coach potato. She says her role as a teacher is a facilitator, safely guiding the body through the rigorous workout. "It's humbling to everyone — watching weightlifters come in and not be able to hold a pose, then to see a 50-year-old woman holding rock steadily." For 10 years, Marshall has been teaching Bikram Yoga, which is practiced at a minimum of 105 degrees Fahrenheit. She decided to start teaching this style of Yoga after meeting the founder, Bikram Choudhury, in Los Angeles. To become a teacher she studied with Bikram for nine weeks, learning about anatomy, physiology and instruction for 16 to 20 hours a day. She mentored under another teacher for six months before setting on her own. Now she is the owner of the first Bikram Yoga studio in the Midwest and mentors four teachers from all over the world. There are two spin-off studios in Kansas City, Mo., and St. Louis. At the end of the day, Marshall looks forward to returning the next morning. "I'm inspired to teach every day. I'm never bored. There's always something to learn," she says. // BEN SULLIVAN THE WEEKLY NEWS Contributed photo get some culture // POTTERY PAINTING Hot in here.

When the members of the band Random Rain sit down to write a song, they don't try to make it environmentally friendly. It just happens. For instance, "Oh Fish" started off as a joke about band member Rebecca Lo's beta fish dying and turned into a song about the human race. "It's about how we as humans feel: we can just take control of things and make them our pets," Lo says. Random Rain, made up of Lo, Coffeyville senior, Margaret Tran, Derby senior, and Lia Williams, Overland Park junior, started the band in 2008 and have recorded songs about social awareness and played shows for events such as Earth Day and a benefit for the Salvation Army. The band highlights global warming issues in their self-titled song "Random Rain." "It's about how weather in some parts of the world affect weather in other parts of the world. Our activities are creating really extreme weather conditions." Tran says. When the band plays shows around town, a crowd favorite is "Commercialism." A rap song inspired by a lecture in one of Tran's sociology classes, this song reflects the American lifestyle of consumerism. "It's wasteful in terms of the environment-socially, and economically. It ends up hurting people in the process who make what we buy." Tran says. Despite their songs and their name, Tran insists Random Rain is not a "green band." "Not all of our songs are about the environment, but we have some songs that we wanted to address social issues," Tran says. // MARY HENDERSON BUTCHER BROTHERS Contributed photo Girls gone green (from left) Rebecca Lo.

Many leagues are gearing up for the summer, so rally the troops and form a team. Photo illustration by Adam Buhler D Ozens of KU students and Lawrence adults will hike up long striped socks and don fluffy sweatbands and channel their inner-child this summer. Their seance is kickball, and they plan to conjure all the fun they can have. "I feel like you haven't experienced Lawrence until you've attended a kickball game in the summer," says Brittany Barney, Paola junior. Barney started playing in Lawrence's Kaw Valley Kickball League last summer. She says she loves the low-key atmosphere of a kickball game and the irony of the fervent seriousness some people play with. When the kickball season ended, friends invited her to join a new dodgeball league for the fall. Barney and other Lawrence adults are tugging the term "child's play" across a whole new line as they shift their recreational activities to playground games. The Kaw Valley Kickball League will enter its ninth season this summer. The league started as a few people playing in random dirt baseball fields. Lawrence resident Geoff Wright has played in the league since it first began in the summer of 2002. "We thought it was a blast and I have been hooked on it ever since," Wright says. The kickball league now has 30 teams of at least 10 people and has a waiting list for team registration. With Kaw Valley Kickball's evolution in size came the league's social and physical opportunities.KVRL 2010 Commissioner Nick Lerner says there are some teams that use kickball as their sole form of exercise during the summer because of the workout they get from practice and games.Lerner says people are surprised by the strain of the game.They even came up with the term "kicker's leg" for when people pull their hamstring the first week of kickball games. Kickball games provide social opportunities as the league hosts fifteen games every Sunday during the ten-week kickball season. The game of the week is played in Municipal Stadium at Hobbs Park, 10th St. and Delaware St. "We come damn close to filling the stadium every night," Lerner says. "The sense of community is great. We have teams running around just trying to have fun to uber competitive guys dying for the championship." The league raises money and hosts a tournament at the end of every season, then donates the money raised. Last year the league raised $1,200 for health care access. The social network of Kaw Valley Kickball even started having spin-off childhood game organizations. KVKL members Paul Santos and Lauren Pearce formed the Bleeding Kansas Dodgeball League last fall to stay active and continue spending time with people in the kickball community. The league had 12 teams of at least six people during the fall season, but has increased to 16 teams in its second season, which is currently underway. "When people play it, they see how fun it still is to play," Santos says. The league plays official games every Sunday night at Bishop Seabury Academy, 4120 Clinton Parkway. People watching the games wince with every rubber-to-skin collision and cheer as players sweat their way through tough barrages of balls. Santos acknowledges the bonus of getting good exercise while playing, but he does it for the friends. "If you look at it as just working out, it doesn't have the same appeal as meeting new people, hanging out and having fun," Santos says. He is one of the many players in the kickball and dodgeball leagues who feel the social benefits of playing the childhood games. "I've met easily over 100 to 200 people through dodgeball and kickball," Santos says. He attests that meeting someone through a kid's sport is relaxed, which helps the beginning development of friendship. Santos also aspires to use the network of the leagues to create a more unofficial laser tag group. His plans include organizing flash mobs of laser tag games by sending text messages to large groups of people with the information of where and when to meet for laser warfare. He got the idea from YouTube videos of urban capture the flag in Toronto. McFarland's games of capture the flag have boundary lines of 8th Street to 11th Street and Vermont Street to New Hampshire Street in downtown Lawrence. The teams use Massachusetts Street as the dividing line and must bring a flag across from the other team's side. Each player wears a glowstick to signify they are playing. Flag locations are on a street corner so they can be easily seen and accessible. Each team also has a jail for players who get tagged, but they can be broken out by teammates. Santos isn't alone in his aspirations for unofficial schoolyard play. Andrew McFarland, El Dorado, Ark., graduate student, organized large groups of people for urban capture the flag last summer. The games tend to be long and intense because of their environment. McFarland says if a game lasts an hour and someone takes a hard offensive approach, they will probably be running for 50 minutes. Some players take a more stealthy approach that requires less energy." Hiding behind cars; creeping around trees — it's a good way to work on your ninja skills," McFarland says. The capture-the-flag teams usually go out for drinks once a game is over to enhance the social aspect. "People get interested in the game when we come in with glow sticks around our necks and flags hanging out of our pockets," McFarland says. He is open to people joining in the fun, but they must abide by the game's regulations. "We have one absolute rule: Don't be a dick." McFarland says. As spring arrives in Kansas, many students and Lawrence residents may begin sharing the same affinity for long-lost playground games. So don't be surprised if what you hear after the sound of a red rubber ball being punted is the sound of adults laughing. Recess is back in session. HOW TO PLAY ALONG Kickball Kaw Valley Kickball League's size and popularity make it difficult to form a new team, but it does have a healthy pick-up game atmosphere. Nick Lerner says. Lerner recommends going to www.kawvalleykickball.com and clicking on "Community" to enter the league's forum and suggest games. Dodgeball Bleeding Kansas Dodgeball has open-play every Wednesday night in the Central Junior High School gymnasium. 1400 Massachusetts St., from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Capture-the-Flag McFarland has an open Facebook group called "Lawrence CTF" dedicated to informing and organizing games. 13 WHEAT STATE PIZZA WHAT STATE PIZZA!

The Mad Greek, 814 Massachusetts St., offers a variety of authentic Greek food as well as pastas and sandwiches. What looks like a fast food joint from the outside transforms into a unique homey environment on the inside. Upon arrival, I ordered hummus for an appetizer and a gyro from the sandwich menu, not wanting to spend more than the price of fast food. Being a small eater, the portion sizes were refreshingly eatable, yet still filling. The gyro was fresh and did not seem Americanized. The best part about the restaurant was their wide dessert menu, ranging from tiramisu to cheesecake. I went with the triple chocolate cheesecake for less than $5. The dinner portions do not exceed $10 and come with a salad for $2. The Mad Greek offers a savory Grecian flair that allows college students on a budget to eat quality Greek food for a fast food price. // BRITTANY NELSON ★★★ book review // 'THE YEAR OF FOG' reading. it's not just for textbooks you know.

I was taking a nap in our living room when suddenly I saw them creeping around the corner with the devil in kitten's clothing. Her true identity did not reveal itself to me until, in transit between my friend's hands and mine, she had explosive diarrhea all over my beloved napping nook — the couch, the floor, the throw pillows and even my blanket. Damage control was the highest priority as she cowered in the corner like an oversized, black-and-white spotted dustbunny. But as soon as I erased the look and stench of digested cat food from the living room furnishings, all that remained was this fragile little creature that suddenly depended on me for survival. How could I not love her? Oh, let me count the ways. Eat, sleep, excrete and repeat — one, two, three, four. From Day One, Lola established that is all she knew how to do. Thanks to the amazing inconvenience with which she performs her three main functions, her name has become a four-letter word in my family – and that name is not Lola. For starters, she has a stunning ability to make any surface a toilet. She has ruined many carpets, mattresses, items of clothing and pillowcases. One morning I awoke with my sweatshirt sleeve in a steaming pile of poo, which tested on my pillow mere inches from my head. I learned quickly that life with a domesticated animal is not for the weak at heart, or stomach. Lola's three food groups of choice are cat food, dairy and tuna. Never again during her lifetime will I open a can of anything - black olives, pumpkin purce; creamed corn - without inciting a full-on freak out, because Lola is a firm believer that only fish comes in a can. Neither can I eat cereal or ice cream peacefully in her presence, because she inevitably creeps over my shoulder and sticks her little pink tongue out to lap up whatever is in my bowl. And it's certainly not because she isn't well fed; her tummy swings back and forth in front of her hind legs when she walks. And the second her food bowl is empty, she tells me - first by feigning affection, crawling all over me and rubbing her face on my chin, putting even (an expression of love she typically reserves for her cat chow). But after a while, she realizes I starve her to make her nice. Then the crying ensues and she is underfoot every step I take until I show her the kibble. Then, when she has eaten that entire bowl and thrown it back up, or at least had her fill, she finds a nice pile of clothes or a square of sunlight on the carpet and goes to sleep to recover from her difficult ordeal. Lola lies around all day, her eyes sleepily halfclosed and her big white belly moving quietly up and down, until it becomes absolutely necessary to either defecate on something or go in search of sustenance. And when she does gather the strength to lift herself from her resting place, she is sure to leave behind a heavy coating of fur. I often quarantine her in the bathroom when I am sleeping or away, because she cannot be trusted to use her litter box like a civilized animal. And instead of respecting the rest of the world's need to rest, the selfish snob spends nighttime hours pawing at the door and crying like a tortured soul in solitary confinement. But she is not the prisoner in this relationship. After our first year together, I began planning for college, and my immediate plan did not include Lola because student housing does not allow animals. When I moved out, my father reluctantly spared her life by allowing her to remain under his roof. I made sure she had an ample supply of food and litter and packed up the rest of my life for Lawrence with less regret than one would expect when parting from a pet because college meant freedom from, among other things, the demon animal that had done everything in her power to make my life hell. With that freedom came a strange void; like a long time hostage finally set free, I felt oddly alone without the presence of my captor. Of course, as a college freshman, I expected to be homesick. But so many nights as I was lying in bed, I found that I missed sleeping with a living fur hat on. When I was sad, forcing Lola to cuddle with me always made me feel better, no matter how much she resisted. I missed burying my face in her big, soft belly and breathing in her kitty smell. I've heard that absence makes the heart grow fonder and somehow, over time and distance, the little manipulator had connived her way into my heart. Last year Lola and I moved into our first apartment together. She is just as much of a pain in the ass as ever, but she is my pain in the ass, and I love her despite it. She may be selfish and entitled and possess no redeeming qualities, but she is also soft and adorable and she needs me. She needs me for food and shelter and chin scratching, but I also give her something no one else can; Love. No one except for her mother could love such a spawn of Satan, and somehow I do.

Tabling outside of Wescoe Hall Thursday, NORML (National Organization for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws) is trying to promote marijuana as a safer alternative to alcohol. Students push pot as safe alternative BY ROBERT ALTMAN raltman@kansan.com A pack of students picked Wesco Beach Thursday as part of a nationwide effort to promote marijuana use as a safer alternative to alcohol. The event was launched by Safer Alternative For Enjoyable More than 80 colleges and universities across the country recognized the day of action, which also marked the first day of National Alcohol Awareness Month. Recreation, a national nonprofit organization founded in response to alcohol overdose deaths on college campuses. "College life has become a large scale promotion of alcohol," Jacob Bigus, a sophomore from Hillsdale and the University's student coordinator for SAFER, said. "We feel that the University should be promoting safer alternatives to drinking NO SMALL CHANGE "The alcohol policy right now is steering kids towards drinking." — smoking marijuana being one — rather than just urging students to drink responsibly." According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's Task Force on College Drinking, alcohol use by college students leads to approximately 1,700 deaths, 600,000 unintentional injuries, 695,000 assaults and 97,000 sexual assaults and date rapes for students each year. The US Department of Education lists marijuana use as a close second to alcohol among college students on its website, saying that frequent use of either substance can lead to poor school performance. Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost for Student Success, said that both marijuana and alcohol consumption were against the University's Alcohol and Drugs Policy and that each violation was judged individually. Members of Students for Sensible Drug Policy and the campus chapter of the National Organization for THOMAS DEACON NORML president the Reformation of Marijuana Laws teamed up for the event, proclaiming that the University enforces marijuana laws more severely, causing students to choose the more dangerous booze before buds. "The alcohol policy right now is steering kids towards drinking" Thomas Deacon, a freshman from West Lafayette, Ind., and president of the University's NORML chapter, said. "We're just trying to keep students safe and expand rights." After they were finished picketing, the group marched to the Union to hand the Student Senate the book "Marijuana is Sater: So why are we driving people to drink?"

Brunk and Love will fly to Las Vegas, where they will play using gambling chips. KU pair traveling to Vegas for quarters tournament $25,000 grand prize up for grabs in national tournament BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com They barely even know each other — they've only seen each other three or four times — but this weekend, Casey Brunk and Brittany Love will travel to Las Vegas together to try to win $25,000. They're competing in Bud Light's Shoot for the Championship national quarters tournament. The second time they met, Brunk, a junior from Hesston, and Love, a senior from Conway Springs, qualified for the tournament when they became this region's champions. "In terms of skill, we're pretty much equal." Brunk said. "We pretty much dominated people." Their first meeting was all by chance: They happened to be sitting at the same table at Brothers, 1105 Massachusetts St., on the same night as the quarters semifinals. Brunk, an employee at Brothers, had heard about the tournament and wanted to compete, but found out from a Bud Light representative that teams had to be coed. That's where Love came in. Their mutual friend, Steve England, a junior from Bloomington, Minn., introduced the two to each other and arranged for them to be partners. To England's surprise, the duo couldn't be beat. "They just dominated everyone," England said. "It was awesome." This isn't your everyday game or quarters. in this tournament, contestants attempt to bounce a poker chip into a small plastic tub. Inside the tub is a tall glass.

"Our goal is to educate current students about the importance of giving back to KU and to cultivate that habit now, so when they become alumni, they'll understand the importance of philanthropy.' Sarah Phillips, director of annual giving and special projects, said. The idea to hold a mud volleyball tournament came from a few members of Students for KU. They had seen a similar program at a conference they had attended and thought it would be a successful event at KU. "The students were inspired by a few other colleges that have mud fests as well", Phillips said. The fields aren't naturally muddy enough for the event so the student group hires Lawrence Landscapes to dig four trenches that act as the volleyball courts. Then the Lawrence Fire Department fills the trenches with water. "Then you'll be shin-high deep in water and mud." Micaela Karlin, a sophomore from Shawnee and vice president for Students for KU, said.

Scott Roeder, 52, accused Sedgewick County District Judge Warren Wilbert of "duplicity" and said his trial was a miscarriage of justice because he wasn't allowed to present testimony about the evils of abortion. He said the deaths of a few providers like Dr. George Tiller must be weighed against the millions of abortions that have been performed. "I stopped him so he could not dismember another innocent baby." Roeder said, "Wichita is a far sater place for unborn babies without George Tiller." Roeder has admitted gunning down Tiller in the back of Tiller's Wichita church last May. He faces a mandatory life prison sentence, and Wilbert must decide whether to make him eligible for parole after 25 or 50 years. The judge indicated during the hearing that there appeared to be enough evidence to qualify Roeder for the harsher of the two sentences. Roeder was barred from describing abortion procedures during the testimony portion of his trial. Abortion is legal in Kansas, and prosecutors were careful not turn the trial into a referendum on abortion. On Thursday, Roeder told the court that Tiller "dismembered living children with the nod of approval from the state." He said God's judgment against the U.S. will "sweep over this land like a prairie wind." "He will avenge every drop of innocent blood." Roeder said. Earlier Thursday, Lee Thompson. who was Tiller's friend and attorney and still represents the Tiller family, asked Wilbert to give Roeder the harshest sentence possible, saying anything less would encourage other anti-abortion fanatics to follow in Roeders footsteps. "It will happen again and again," Thompson said. "This is domestic terrorism. This act will be repeated by this person if he ever sees the light of day again." "The impact of his death on women throughout the world is like an earthquake," Thompson said. "They ask, where can I go? What will I do?" I have to say, 'I'm sorry, I can't tell you.' That's the impact of "Wichita is a far safer place for unborn babies without George Tiller." SCOTT ROEDER Convicted of murdering abortion doctor George Tiller Thompson described Tiller as a devoted husband, father and grandfather and a strong believer in women's rights. He said his office still receives calls from women seeking medical services. As he spoke, Tiller's widow Jeanne cried. Roeder at times looked away, yawned and took a drink of water. this crime. Prosecutors seeking the harsher sentence must show an aggravating circumstance, such as whether Roeder stalked his victim before killing him. Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston argued that the longer sentence was warranted because Roeder stalked Tiller for years, and he put others at the church in danger when he shot the doctor and when others chased him afterward. Roeder testified in January that he had previously taken a gun into the doctor's church and had checked out the gated subdivision where Tiller lived and the clinic where he practiced. Foulson said the murder hurt Tiller's church and "wounded the country." Thompson said Roeder targeted Tiller in a "hate crime" because Tiller provided abortion services. Security was tight for the hearing. Law enforcement officers had explosive-detecting dogs sniffing reporters' equipment before the hearing. Four Sedgwick County sheriff's deputies were on duty outside the courtroom Thursday, along with several agents from both the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Although he could spend the rest of his life in prison, Roeder may have gotten what he wanted all along: In the months since Tiller's death and his clinic was closed, it has been markedly more difficult to get an abortion in Kansas. The state was left with no facility where women can have the late-term procedure. Just three clinics in the state — all located in or near the Kansas City area — offer limited abortion services for women up to their 21st week of pregnancy. An early vow by one of Tiller's contemporaries to fill the gap has mismaterialized, and state lawmakers are moving to enact tough new rules to dissuade other doctors from taking Tiller's place. But outside Kansas, abortionrights supporters say there's been a surge in late-term abortion practices by doctors emboldened to pick up where Tiller left off. "What he really did was murder a doctor in church, and the effect on abortion is negligible," said Dr. LeRoy Carhart, a Nebraska doctor who worked part-time for Tiller and said he hasn't given up on the idea of opening a practice in Kansas where late-term abortions would be performed. hawkchalk.com ET CETERA I B 24 Hour Hotlines: 800.550.4900 Unplanned Pregnancy?

He doesn't do it for the money; he's a volunteer. "I always was interested in the classics." Blumenfeld said. "I had a pretty good classical education at Harvard. I thought I could do some good and help some kids, maybe." Blumenfeld had an extensive career in government and business that included stints as assistant Secretary of the Army and working in administration at Harvard and New York Universities. Seven years ago, he was asked if he would like to teach a discussion section of honors Western Civilization. He said yes. But that will change this fall when Blumenfeld, and the seven other volunteer teachers from the Lawrence community, will no longer be teaching these discussion sections. knowledge along with discussion sections led mainly by community members. Beginning in the fall, there will be three sections of the course and it will change to a lecture-discussion format with the James Woelfel director of Western Civilization programs, said the decision to remove the volunteers from the course was not based on student discontent or "My two discussion leaders, Nan and Jerry Harper, have been the best teachers I've ever had at KU." evaluations, but instead the desire to conform to general standards across the nation for teaching honors courses. HAYLEY BRAZIER Topeka senior The course currently consists of a weekly rotating lecture by professors with specialized same professor teaching each class. "My two discussion leaders, Nan and jerry Harper, have been the best teachers I've ever had at KU." Brazier said. Hayley Brazier, a senior from Topeka, said she thought the decision to take the volunteer teachers out of the course was crazy. She said she took the honors Western Civilization course with the Harpers in both the fall and current semesters because she liked them so much. For Brazier, the experience of having nonfaculty teachers was special. She said the Harpers had written reference letters for her, and when she studied abroad they gave her tips and places to go. Brazier said she never felt short-changed by having the Harpers as her teachers instead of senior faculty members. other volunteer instructors found out about the decision about two weeks ago. He said the volunteers didn't know that changes were being considered to the course and was very disappointed in "They're all very capable, very professional people who did this simply for the love of teaching ..." JAMES WOELFEL Director of Western Civilization "I think because they're retired and have more time on their hands to do the class and do it not paid because they want to, they care a lot more about their students," Brazier said. Blumenfeld said he and the the decision to change the format. "I very much liked teaching the honors section," Blumenfeld said. "There are not very many faculty members who know kids Woelfel said this was a difficult decision that should have been handled with much more sensitivity. personally as you have the chance to do in such a very small section as Western Civ." "These are the volunteers that provided valuable service, some of them for many years." Woelfel said. "They're all very capable, very professional people who did this simply for the love of teaching Western Civ." He said the recommendation to change the format of the honors Western Civilization courses was made after about two years of discussions about the honors program followed by a year long study of the program and an external review. He said the change to the course format would eliminate problems with coordination that caused confusion for students about what information they needed to know from each professor. "We feel it's the right decision given issues over the years," Woelfel said.

Winer MOVIES Film was emotional journey for grieving Janet Jackson MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — When Janet Jackson signed on to be a part of "Why Did I Get Married Too?" she knew shed have to ready herself for an emotional journey. In the sequel to Tyler Perry's 2007 film, Jackson's character — the always-composed psychologist, Patricia — slowly begins to unravel as her loveless marriage dissolves. The role required her to cry, scream and fight, challenge enough for any actress — and then her brother Michael died just three days into filming. Production halted as Jackson flew to L.A. to be with her family. Director Perry followed. "Tyler was so there for me. He was constantly calling me to see how I was doing," recalled Jackson via telephone from New York recently, where she had just completed a day of interviews for the new film, opening Friday. "He had asked me, 'How do you want to be treated on set?' And I said, 'The way they treated me on the first film, no differently.' And that's exactly what it was. They thought it was important they didn't bring up what had happened, and that was fine with me." That silence was uncomfortable for some of the cast in the film, which reunites eight college friends in the Bahamas for their yearly one-week reunion where they discuss love and relationships. Jill Scott, who plays Jackson's pal Sheila in the film, said she wanted to talk about Jackson's devastating loss with her but was unable to. "It was difficult not to talk about it, and I made a point not to because I didn't want to upset her and I wanted to stay in the moment," Scott said. "But one night, it just hit me, and I started singing (Michael Jackson's) 'Got me working day and night' and I didn't realize it until maybe the fourth word came out of my mouth. And I just stopped, and she didn't say anything. I think that's the only time I felt like, 'Oh, jill.' As much as you want to console and be there for someone, sometimes the work is the healing."

MOVIES 3-D revival driven by economics MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE It only took a century, but 3-D films have evolved from a curiosity to a film world obsession. Geeky plastic glasses are sudden honeywood coolest accessory, but they may cause a loss of perspective. Instead of triggering a renaissance, 3-D may be the next wave of the effects-driven blockster mentality "In a not-too-distant future, big releases will be only released in 3-D." MARK ZORADI President, Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group By some counts the current that followed in the wake of "Jaws" and "Star Wars". If Zoradi's "all 3-D all the time" vision arrives, the types of films that benefit most from 3-D — animation, fantasy and horror — could bulldoze grown-up fare even further to the sidelines. It may become the new industry standard, but does it deserve to be? Would "The Godfather" or "Sideways" or "All About Eve" really be richer experiences in 3-D? wave is 3-Ds seventh revival since "The Power of Love" first required viewers to don red/green glasses in 1922. The format has cropped up sporadically ever since, generally in trashy vehicles like "Bwana Devil," "House of Wax" and "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein." Now the stakes have been raised exponentially. As "Avatar" director James Cameron predicted all along. 3-D has become a game-changer — at least economically, at least for the time being. Films such as "Avatar" and Pixar's "Up" proved that a mature use of 3-D can create a rich, immersive experience, but the stampede to the format is being driven by accounting. While making a movie in 3-D adds about 15 percent to the film's budget, it can be vastly more profitable. The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers calculates that movies released in 3-D generate twice to three times the revenue of the same titles in 2-D — in some cases, as much as six times.

I know he likes me... Why hasn't he me? Shamefully, I admit to sending similar texts in regard to my recent male interest. But, after a scientific, evidence-backed wake-up call, I realized that I don't have to compromise control of my emotions for a good relationship. Let me start from the beginning: After a month of dating, everything was going great between my male interest and me whenever we were together. We always seemed to connect on multiple levels and I felt emotionally stable. But when we were apart, pathetic ic, needy and insecure thoughts weighed heavily on my mind. As a typical female of Generation Y, I subconsciously felt that if a guy liked me that he should demonstrate some kind of effort to communicate with me—and preferably in a frequent manner. To the delight of many of my female friends and the annoyance of my male friends, this type of communication is more possible than ever due to the thousands of portals of communication available. Although I tried to maintain reasonable expectations, I never thought it was asking too much for my guy to occasionally text me in his free time. I just liked knowing that he was thinking of me and hadn't fallen off the face of the earth. This may sound easy to some, but, according to some of the less-than winning guys of my dating past, this request was on par with asking a man to carry a purse and walk through the mall. BY MANDY MATNEY PETER M. JOHNSON Texts in the City A few weeks ago, still tormented by the lack of communication, I picked up the book, "The Female Brain," by Dr. Luann Brizendine. To my surprise, the book actually put my irrational ways of thinking into scientifically reasonable terms. Dr. Brizendine used extensive research to conclude that women experience anxiety, where they are consciously aware of a threat at hand, four times more often than males. She went on to explain that females tend to worry and fear far more often than males do. Therefore, they need more frequent communication in order to maintain emotional stability. Basisally, it's more likely for females to over-analyze relationships and worry than males. Simply based on the pre-set mechanics of our brains, it stands to reason that for every four times a woman analyzes, rationalizes or theorizes about the intentions of a male, that male counterpart probably hasn't even spent one moment in distress. Photo illustration by Howard Ting/KANSAN This, however, doesn't mean boys don't have strong feelings for their mates; they just naturally spend less time pre-occupied with thoughts of "is she or isn't she?" Although Brizentine's research does help me feel a little less crazy 12:32 PM - Men's brains tend to perform tasks mostly on the left-side of the brain, which is the area responsible for logic and rational thinking. Women have an increased ability to transfer information between the hemispheres. Battle of the Sexes: Science of the Brain - On average, men's brains are 10 percent larger than women's. But, women's brains have more nerve cells and cellular connections, allowing them to work more efficiently and effectively. - — From the Society for Neuroscience. - Women have a larger limbic size, which facilitates more bonding and nesting instincts. for my desire for communication, it still doesn't make it much easier to cope with my relationship insecurities. I remember one time when my female brain was in a somewhat-pathetic state of anxiety. I hadn't heard from my guy for more than 24 hours. Staring at the screen of my Samsung Moment, I wished it would illuminate with a text from his name. As my insecurities grew, I scanned through old conversations, looking for reassurance that he still liked me. Was there a clue I missed? Did I disregard something important he said? I jumped from one fearful thought to the next, all while not providing myself with any relief. - Women are more prone to depression. Suddenly, I realized I was on my way to being one of "those girls" who are obsessive, irrational and desperate about their relationships. Rather than spend one more moment questioning the intentions of my guy, I decided to settle this on my own terms. I refused to spend another minute over-analyzing his ways and resolved that if he was worth it, he would initiate contact. Until then, I wouldn't worry. And, luckily, he did. The next time we were hanging out I decided to take a chance and ask him why he didn't text or call me very often. To my surprise he said, "If I texted you all the time you would get annoyed, bored of me and probably a little creeped out." My first reaction was to defend myself, but then I thought back to all the times I had labeled guys who texted, called or Facebook messaged me far too frequently as a "creeper." I thought about the dozens of guys I had quickly lost interest in because of their constant communication pursuit. HUMAN RIGHTS As much as I hated it, guys who actually texted me as often as I said I wanted them to just ended up boring the hell out of me. I always said that I never like nice guys, and now I'm realizing that I like the game of chase. It's tragic but true; we always want what we can't have. To me, the less available men appear to be, the more I want them. So, when the guy I'm dating leaves me pathetically looking at my phone in hopes of receiving a text from him, it helps put me in my place. It also keeps things interesting. Although there is a fine line between nice guys and "creepers," it's sad that girls, myself included, use texts and Facebook chats to judge that line. Don't get me wrong, communication is still crucial in every relationship. Males need to strategically communicate often enough to keep interest but seldom enough to avoid the unwanted label of "creeper." And in the mean time, us girls need to stop wasting time over-analyzing their intentions, because there is nothing attractive about a girl who obsesses.

The fight for global democracy continues Student Senate elections are not the only elections stu- Snot the only elections students should pay attention to in the third week of April. Sudan will hold its first competitive elections in almost a quarter of a century when citizens go to the polls from April 11 to 13 to vote in presidential and parliamentary races. These elections come during a heated time in Sudan. The International Criminal Court issued a warrant for President Omar al-Bashir's arrest a year ago. But, not only is Bashir still free, but he continues to exercise control over Sudan. In February, the Sudanese government said it expected to sign a peace agreement with the Justice and Equality Movement, a Darfur rebel group, by March 15. That did not happen. Talks are reportedly ongoing, but skepticism remains in the air, especially since previous peace talks have failed to eliminate violence in the region. Given the instability of the state, fulfilling the reality of free and fair elections will be a hefty challenge - and the prospects are dim. Some elections observers from foreign entities, namely Carter Center, a human rights group based in the U.S., have said it would be best to postpone the elections for a short time. The purpose would be to take care of logistical issues that affect the nature of free and fair elections, such as environmental insecurity and the ability for candidates to campaign freely. According to The Guardian, a British paper, Bashir threatened to cut off the fingers and promptly expel from the country any foreign election observers who demand delaying the elections. This response doesn't exactly reflect a government that is taking steps toward free and fair Rights and the Law 1 BY KELLY COSBY kcoshy@kansap.com If Bashir and the current Sudanese government doesn't ensure fair elections or if they do anything to hinder the process of fair elections, there could be jolting ramifications for the next important vote in Sudan. election or toward eliminating human rights abuses. In 2011, Sudan is supposed to hold an independence referendum that would determine whether the southern part of the country should secede. Many have argued that if Sudan simply evades the long-waged conflict between the north and the south with a permanent border division, the result would be chaos. But, a vote for separating the country could be a reality if voters do not get the sense that their government allows fair elections. Besides encouraging students to pay attention to elections and political controversy outside of the U.S., I also cannot stress enough the importance of remembering we don't have as many problems as some of these countries do. Say what you want about our government or the validity of elections at the national, state or local level, but please remember that any problems could be far worse than they are. It is by acknowledging this advantage that truly meaningful discourse may arise to build our political systems rather than tear them down.

Though most parents Spring break was a starstudded event on MTV. In 1998, Boys II Men gave a live performance, and the next year featured Busta Rhymes and 98 Degrees. The reality of a true college spring break, however, comes nowhere close to the fantasy MTV sells so many kids each year. Spring break plans revolve around school. Any shenanigans must be scheduled around those five projects you still have to finish up from midterms. Undoubtedly, many of us let the partying to the snow-birds parents would rather their children choose Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" over MTVV's "Spring Break," back in the day that idealized portrayal of a week-long hiatus from school was the wildest time you could watch from your couch. Another popular option for many was a quiet spring break with family. Though hanging with your little brother might not seem as cool as the MTV experience, nothing beats family time. There's no better way to save money than filling up on mom's meatloaf instead of $12 drinks. So if your break wasn't spent surrounded by the wet T-shirt contests and beer bongs you always imagined would fill your spring break, don't fret. The insane college experience you hoped for is not as typical as you might think. Taking a few days just to relax and catch up on all that sleep you missed during midterms could have been just the break you needed. and spent our one free week this semester catching up on required reading.

It's just Humans vs. Zombies. The KU group will have its first game today on West Campus and will meet in the Lied Center parking lot at 3 p.m. A larger game is also planned for 6:30 p.m. The game is similar to a giant strategic game of tag. Players go on missions, such as trying to escort a player from one area to another, said Douglas Hanson, co-founder of the group. The zombies must try to tag humans to fulfill their mission. Humans can use rolled up balls of socks as weapons to stun the zombies While today's game would be smaller, Hanson said in future semesters he would like the game to go all across campus for five straight days. About 20 people have signed up so far for the game, but Hanson expects more. Waivers are required to play the game and can be found on the group's Facebook page, Humans vs. Zombies KU Chapter. The group will also have waivers available today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Union. -Zach Getz APRIL FOOLS' DAY For a day, Topeka had all the answers ASSOCIATED PRESS In a nod to the Kansas capital, which unofficially changed its name to Google, Kan., for a month in a bid to become a test site for the company's planned super-fast fiber optic network, the popular search engine changed its name Thursday to Topeka. TOPEKA — For a month, Topeka was Google. For a day — April Fools' Day — Google was Topeka. Visitors to the company's home page, google.com, were greeted by the name "Topeka" in Google's familiar multicolor typeface. Below it was a link to a lengthy blog posting by Google Inc. Chairman and CEO Eric Schmidt explaining the move. Topeka, Schmidt said, took its name from the Kansa Indians as "a good place to dig for potatoes" along the banks of the Kansas River. Topeka Mayor Bill Bunting's office was inunded with calls Thursday. "Wed like to think that our website is one the webs best places to dig for information." Schmidt wrote. "We've had a lot of fun with it. It's brought attention to our city." Bunten said. "I appreciate that they received our effort to change the name in good humor and we do the same with their change to Topeka" Schmidt said Google users would have to get used to using "Topela News" and "Topeka Maps" and that Google employees — known affectionately as "Googlers" — would be known as "Topekan." "There's so many good things that are going on here. The Google thing is one of a number, and we're not done yet," Bunten said. Bunten and city leaders signed off on the unofficial name change in hopes of landing Google's broadband project in Topeka, a city of 123,000. Gov. Mark Parkinson called the name change a well-deserved recognition, adding "Today, if people have Topekad 'Kansas', they've seen it's the perfect place to live, work and raise a family." Google spokesman Dan Martin was quick to note the name change doesn't mean Topeka has risen to the top of the list of contenders.

ROWING Team hosts Wildcats in the Kansas Cup The rowing team will try to avenge last year's loss to Kansas State, its biggest rival, Saturday. The Jayhawks will host the Wildcats in the Kansas Cup at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan. "It's our biggest rival because Missouri and other schools don't have rowing teams and some of these girls have been competing with each other since high school in basketball and other sports; coach Rob Catloth said. The Jayhawks started this season earlier than usual with the hope that the extra practice will help them peak at the right time for the Big 12 championship. The early start also allows the rowers to have more time to watch tape from their previous races and fix any problems. "The key to beating K-State will be implementing the changes made by watching video such as getting our blades in the water faster, getting our legs down quicker, and being more aggressive even without a headwind," Stacy Rachow, a senior from Phillipsburg, said. A win this weekend for the Jayhawks would be a huge boost for the team after struggling to open the season. "This race will have a huge impact," Lindsey Lawrence, a senior from Lawrence, said. "I'm counting on this race for morale and to give us the confidence to keep improving and get more wins." Winning will help boost the team's confidence and give the rowers a feel for how the rest of the season should feel, Rachow said. "With all the work we have put in, there is no reason for us not to be successful." BUD FAMILY BEERS $17.88 BUDWEISER, BUD LIGHT & BUD SELECT 30 PACKS THE BEST PRICES IN TOWN!

"It's good to get back to playing good defense and for our pitchers to get some success." Smith said. "But we have in our mind that our work is cut out for us". Texas has a pitcher with a mean riseball, a type of pitch where the ball rises after it's thrown, freshman outfielder Rosie Hull said. Kansas faced a riseball thrower against UMKC and only got three hits in the entire game. Hull said it was good to face the UMKC pitcher right before the match up with Texas to help get some experience with the pitch. "It helped with the confidence to get things going and focused," Vertelka said. "It felt good to get back into the routine of things, and hopefully it'll well over to this weekend." The Kansas softball team will have its first home Big 12 Conference series this weekend when it hosts No. 17 Texas. Kansas has a 16-17 (0-2) record while Texas comes in at 29-8 (2-0). Texas is also on a five-game winning streak but is 4-4 on the road. "Hopefully we got some of the kinks out and now we have a NO. 17 TEXAS 29-8 (2-0) VS. KANSAS 16-17 (0-2) Senior pitcher Sarah Vertelka, who had one of her better outings of the season against UMKC, also said she would use the victories to help against Texas. "Coming out against Texas A&M last weekend was really rough, but then we came out against a non-conference opponent and were really ready for it." Hull said. Playing all the top ranked teams also gives Kansas the exciting chance for an upset, Veretelka said. "We're obviously underdogs and have nothing to lose," Vertelka said. "We might as well go out there and give it our all." Eight of Kansas' first nine Big 12 games are against ranked teams, but playing all the tough teams will really help the team improve, Hull said. Kansas will continue the season Wednesday when it travels to Columbia,Mo., for a doubleheader against No.4 Missouri.

Both approached Gill with the desire to play on offense this season. "I played offense my whole life," Beshears said. "I'm an offensive guy; I'm a playmaker. That's just my natural ability — to make plays with the ball in my hands. I wanted to go back to receiver." "I really am a lot more energized and I have a little more pep in my step." Patterson said. "I'm really out to prove that I was the receiver that could make plays on offense before and in this offense now." But Patterson struggled early in the season before eventually losing his starting spot after the sixth game. Patterson opened last season as a starting cornerback and was regarded by many teammates as one of Kansas' best players in coverage. "It's different in high school when you're the best player on the field at any given time," Patterson said. "But when you have players that are better than you and have been playing the position since middle school and you're maybe three games into corner, it's kind of hard. "It's not as fun." That's why, when given the opportunity, Patterson, Beshears and Quigley jumped at the chance to at least compete for playing time on offense. Under Mangino, Patterson and Beshears agreed that wouldn't have been the case. "It wasn't gonna happen last year." Beshears said. Now, the lahwacks will use the spring as an early gauge to view where they stand as an offense after losing top playmakers such as quarterback Todd Reesing and wide receivers Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe. That leaves room for new players or players returning to the offense to fill in. "I'm getting another chance to play the position that I want," Patterson said. "And I'm going to make the best of it." — Edited by Taylor Bern RAYS BASEBALL REWIND Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Junior shortstop Brandon Macias lays down a sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the fifth inning Thursday. Kansas defeated No. 22 Texas A&M 9-5. After two rough outings junior starter bounces back BY ANDREW HAMMOND ahammond@kansan.com A major storyline entering game one Thursday against Texas A&M was whether junior TJ Walz could shake off his last two troubling starts against St. Louis and Baylor. Well 7 1/3 strong innings, eight strikeouts and a win indicates that Walz was not crumbling. "He did excellent for us tonight," said coach Ritch Price. "He was able to work in his pitches well by mixing up his fastball and change up." Walz's last two starts were not at the All-Conference level of last season, but he still walked away with a 1-1 record. The trouble began at St. Louis where Walz, with a 5-0 cushion, folded in the fourth and fifth innings, allowing six runs in a 12-8 loss. In the Big 12 opener at Baylor, fans saw the good, bad and ugly out of Walz. He let the Bears put up a five-run third inning, but Walz faced the challenge and managed to pick up the victory. He continued the positive momentum against the Aggies. "I had to do everything I could to get the win," Walz said. "These guys (Texas A&M) have owned us the last few seasons and I wanted to go out there and pitch well, and I did." Walz was rock solid on the mound for the Jayhawks as he picked up his fifth victory of the season. For 7 1/3 innings, Walz stood out above opposing pitcher Barret Loux, one of the best pitchers in the Big 12. Walz allowed 11 hits — one of which was a solo home run by Brodie Greene — but from the third inning on, Walz was sharp, striking out a season-high eight batters The Jayhawks have gotten few quality starts in recent games and needed a starter to go deep in the game due to a tired bullpen. "I's are our All-American," said junior left fieldier Jim Waters. "He's our leader. It's great to see him out there pitching well." The win puts the Jayhawks at 18-9 on the season and 3-1 in the conference. With Thursday's win, their home record stands at 10-1 and the Jayhawks are riding an eight game home winning streak. "There're really no big reason or difference, you like playing in your home ballpark," Walz said. "As a pitcher you get that comfort factor when you go on the mound." — Edited by Cory Bunting BREWERY LIVE·STUDY·DREAM Naismith Hall FREE Internet • Swimming Pool • On KU Bus Route Movie Theatre • Unlimited Meal Plan • FREE Tanning Bed Individual Leases • Weekly Housekeeping Services FREE Tutoring Service • Game Room • Computer Lab Right Between the Rec Center & The Fieldhouse PARK VIEW ALEXANDRA M.

Jimmy Waters plated a run with a single to right and Brett Lisher hit a sacrifice fly to extend Kansas' cushion to four runs at 9-5. Walz Junior T.J. Walz Walz was as sharp as he's been all season through the first seven innings for Kansas, scattering eight hits and allowing only one run. Though he got chased in the eighth after allowing three straight hits, Walz's effort in the beginning was instrumental to the Jayhawks' victory. The junior threw a season-high 122 pitches and also recorded a season-best eight strikeouts. GAME TO FORGET Sophomore Colton Murrav 1 Coming off two straight solid efforts out of Kansas' bullpen, Murray was ineffective on Thursday. He entered the game to relieve Walz with one out in the eighth and allowed both inherited runners to score in addition to giving up a run of his own. STAT OF THE NIGHT 5-13 ...with runners in scoring position The Jayhawks had quality at hit Loux one of the Big 12's best arms all night long, especially with runners on base. The 5-of-13 clip also doesn't factor in runs driven in without a hit, which Kansas did twice in the ballgame. IN PERSPECTIVE Walz needed to pitch well for Kansas to win, and he did that and more. The junior turned in one of his best outings of the season, featuring good velocity on his fastball and a sharp break to his curveball. Kansas' question mark heading into this series was whether or not its starting rotation would return to form, and for a night, at least, the answer was a definitive yes. Ball magnet GAMENOTES After getting hit-by-pitch for the 14th time this season, junior outfielder Casey Lytle is only five HBP shy of tying the Jayhawks all-time record. Ryne Price holds the record with his 19 back in 2007.As a team Kansas has been plunked 48 times, which is also on pace to break the all-time record of 91, set back in 2005. Thursday's victory against the Aggies snapped a seven-game losing streak for the Jayhawks dating back to 2007. In the all-time series though, A&M still holds a heavy advantage over Kansas with a 42-15 record.

The AKL Knights of Mars return to the field April 7 at 7 p.m. —Edited by Kelly Gibson Taylor featured in PBS film MORNING BREW Tyshawn Taylor was just as frustrating to watch in high school as he is now. The documentary "The Street Stops Here", shown on PBS Wednesday night, proves this without a doubt. Director Kevin Shaw tries to explain the aura of St. Anthony's High School (N.J.) basketball, a program whose overall high school basketball dominance rivals the Yankees. "The Street Stops Here" documents St. Anthony's 2007-2008 season, one in which the expectations rivaled this year's lajahwacks, Taylor and his five other Division 1-bound teammates were expected to not just win the state championship, but also the figurative high school national championship. As part of an undefeated St. Anthony's team that won a state championship and an unofficial national championship in 2008, Taylor was possibly the team's most talented player. But in all honesty, Taylor is the reason Jayhawk fans would watch the documentary. His roller coaster season was well documented, but one thing remains clear: Taylor is superbly talented, and also supremely frustrating. Shaw does an admirable job capturing the essence of St. Anthony's hoops. Head coach Bob Hurley currently makes just $6,500 a year for coaching despite winning 25 state championships and coaching three NCAA All-Americans. The good? When Taylor dislocates his finger towards the end of St. Anthony's season, Hurley rightly frets. After the first game without Taylor in the lineup, Hurley Talk about getting your money's worth. BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com asks his team if anyone can fill Taylor's role. Hurley admits it will be tough to accomplish the team's goals without Taylor. The bad? On the day before the state semifinals against rival St. Patrick's and former Jayhawk Quintrell Thomas, Hurley ends the practice kicking a couple players out for laughing. After a brief rallying speech, Hurley dismisses the rest of the team. Taylor is the last to file out of the gymnasium and receives a lashing from Hurley. "Tyshawn [expletive] Cruising Taylor!" There are more reasons to watch the documentary than Taylor. St. Anthony's games against Tyreke Evans' and Lance Stephenson's respective teams are particularly entertaining. The recounting of the time St. Anthony's knocked off Kobe Bryant's high school team is old school basketball bliss. The documentary also explains the financial struggles of St. Anthony's. Despite several attempts to raise funds, the school finds itself in a $130,000 deficit after the 2007-2008 school year. THE MORNING BREW Taylor is the hook. Watching him interacting with teammates, trying his hand at announcing at the Basketball Hall of Fame and calming down a hothead teammate is reason enough to spend an hour and a half on the documentary. The tale of St. Anthony's basketball is just gravy. The documentary will be replay on PBS for at least a couple of weeks, so use your DVRs to record it. And try to remain composed when Taylor screws up. FRIDAY YOUTUBE SESH St. Anthony's beat Kobe Bryant's Lower Merion (Penn.) team by 15, but that doesn't mean Bryant wasn't impressive.

Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Hanging tough against Aggies Kansas keeps lead despite late-game rally by Texas A&M BY BEN WARD bWard@kansan.com twitter.com/bm_dub Though the layhawks haven't been able to put away their opponents of late, they have made habit out of emerging victorious in close games. On Thursday, No. 22 Texas A&M nearly erased a six-run deficit with a late rally. But as it has for five straight games, Kansas (18-9, 3-1) hung-tough late and won the game 9-5. "For some reason it's kind of the joke in the locker room right now, that we can't win a game without drama", junior left fielder Jimmy Waters said. Early on in the contest, lategame dramatics appeared to be far from sight. Through four innings, the game was a duel between each side's starting pitcher. Junior T.J. Walz and Aggies ace Barret Loux each worked quickly and controlled the pace of the action. But down 1-0, Kansas chipped away at Loux for four runs to take a 4-1 lead, with junior center fielder Brian Heere slapping a two-RBI single and Waters adding an RBI double. Once he got the lead, Walz continued dealing from the mound, working out of several jams whenever the Aggies threatened to score. "I knew I had to do everything I could do give the team a chance to win." Walz said. With Walz controlling A&M's hitters, Kansas' batters put up another run in the seventh to add to its lead. Sophomore Chris Manship blasted a clutch two-out, two-RBI double to extend the Jayhawks advantage to 7-1. With Walz well over 100 pitches heading into the eighth, Texas A&M finally got to him. The Aggies strung together three straight hits to chase Walz from the game and ended up putting up four runs in the inning to narrow the Jayhawks lead to 7-5. Coach Price said he's preached all season long that opponents aren't just going to fold late in the "That was huge to make it a four-run inning for us," coach Ritch Price said. game, and that Kansas needs to always prepare for the other side to make a run. "You've got to find a way to hold it off." Price said. The top of Kansas' order led off the bottom of the eighth with three straight hits, and two eventually came home thanks to an RBI single by Waters and a sacrifice fly by senior first baseman Brett Lisher. The lead, which was only moments before cut to two runs, was back to four at 9-5. Not only did the Jayhawk pitchers hold the Aggies off, their bats came right back with a timely response. "That's just how we're playing right now," Waters said. "We're playing pretty good ball at the plate." The extended cushion didn't mean a drama-free ninth inning though, as the Aggies loaded the bases against junior Brett Bochy on a walk and two scratch singles. But Bochy, who Price said he would have preferred not to use, closed out A&M's threat with no further damage to earn his fifth save of the season. "You're always in that frame of mind where you want the ball and want to go in there and stop the bleeding." Bochy said. Coach Price said hed prefer to win going away after taking an early lead, but was still pleased that regardless of the scenario, the Jayhawks came away with a victory. "You've got to finish games," he said. "And that's one thing we are doing – we're finishing games." Edited by Kelly Gibson FOOTBALL Several Jayhawks working at new positions BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com Those assistants took Patterson's words to heart. Patterson said before Mangino's assistants left, they told coach Turner Gill's newly hired staff that Patterson was best suited at receiver, not comperback. Before last season ended — before coach Mark Mangino and his staff departed — Daymond Patterson jokingly told former assistants he was done playing defense and instead wanted to return to offense. "I was happy they told them that," Patterson said, "because I feel that I'll be a better player, a bappier player and more productive on the offensive side of the ball." Before the start of spring practices on March 27, Gill allowed players to decide their positions He's not the only one thinking that way. "I want to really give these guys an opportunity to see what they can do," Gill said. "And you can only do that if you stay at a position for a certain length of time." None of the position changes, though, have drawn as much interest as Patterson's and that of two other former defensive players. at least to start. So far, eight players made changes from last season. Patterson started his career as a wide receiver, catching 14 passes for 154 yards his freshman year. But in the middle of that season, he moved to defensive back to help a struggling secondary and remained there as a sophomore.

COMMENTARY Believe in the Teahan Experiment BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/1/Dwyer PETER SCHNEIDER So far, every time I've heard someone talk about junior guard Conner Teahan's decision to take his skills to the football field, it is met first with incredulity and second with snide indifference. The general consensus seems to be that Teahan will make no impact whatsoever on the quarterback shuffle going on at Kansas right now. Here's my question: Why not? Why can't this work? Granted, it is a long shot. Coach Turner Gill said as much. Teahan hasn't played football in three years. He doesn't know the team's offense. He's at a distinct disadvantage to Kale Pick and Quinn Mecham, who have both been playing in pads for their entire college careers. He was only a two-star recruit coming out of high school, but so was Aqib Talib. That worked out for the Jayhawks, with Talib turning into the best pro prospect at a skill position since Gale Sayers came to school here. And let's be real. Teahan has thrown a football in the last three years. It's one of those things that guys who like sports do. I've thrown a football more times than I've gone to class in the last week. (Sorry, Mom. It's just so nice out.) For a moment, let's assume that Teahan can still hit his spots with a throw. Let's assume that he's a bright enough kid to catch up on the terminology before too long. Let's assume that he's in good enough shape to keep up with Pick and Mecham. But Teahan could not have picked a better time. There's a new coach in place, which means Pick and Mecham have just a month's more work in the offense then Teahan. Gill has made it clear that every position on the field is up for grabs and neither Pick nor Mecham has a solid grasp on the starting gig going in. Think Self hasn't been keeping him in good shape? I'd guess, though you'd have to talk to Teahan about this, that playing basketball at Kansas has got him into the best shape of his life. Throw in the fact that he's 6-foot-5 (an ideal quarterback height) and was All-District at Kansas City powerhouse Rockhurst (MO) High School, and you've got a legitimate prospect in my book. "He had a lot of schools interested in him for football and basketball, but Conner always wanted to play basketball for Kansas," Teahan's dad Mark told Rivals. com after he committed, "He loves Kansas and has decided to be a jayhawk. This is really a dream come true for Conner" Plus, it's not like Teahan is out of shape. There were a number of schools that offered him a scholarship as a dual-sport athlete coming out of high school, but he chose to walk-on to Bill Self's squad. At the very least that guy deserves a look as the top option for Kansas at quarterback, and it seems like Gill is going to give him that. --- Edited by Taylor Bern THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY DAILY Easter tradition observed Students visit family for church, celebrations, egg hunts.

ZOMBIES Students bring nationwide role-playing game to West Campus BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com Anita Chappuie knew the virus was coursing through her veins as she and 10 others walked through West Campus. Chappuie, a junior from Lenexa, tried not to let it show. To hide her identity, she accused others, such as Sam Waldie, a freshman from Libertyville, Ill., of being zombies. Nervously, Waldie returned the favor, calling out Anita. Knowing that the group needed to find supplies in the woods to help survive the zombie apocalypse, Waldie and Chappuie agreed upon a truce. Little did Waldie know, it was a trap. They shook hands and the virus was spread. “He initiated the handshake. It was sort of his bad,” Chappuie said. Waldie was now a zombie. Humans vs. Zombies had begun. The new KU group Humans vs. Zombies, a nationwide role-playing game, had its test games over the weekend. During the game the humans try to fulfill missions and objectives armed only with socks and Nerf guns. Meanwhile, the “undead” try anything possible to acquire human flesh. Co-founder Douglas Hanson said he wanted to start the group for students to get out and about. “We were kind of bored and we wanted to get something set up to get people out and moving,” said Hanson, a freshman from Jacksonville. Waldie, who was sacrificed quickly, said he wanted to be in the game because he was a zombie nut. “I love the movies and ‘Zombie Survival Guide’ is one of my favorite books.” Waldie said. “Zombie simulation game: sign me up.” Alpha zombie Chappuie also said she wanted to join the game because it sounded like a lot of fun. Afterward, she said the game provided a workout and good times. “I got more cardio today than I did all week,” Chappuie said. While the game was mostly fun, there were a few small changes the players wanted to see implemented in future games.

He says he was born in a woman's body, but as a masculine woman who was often mistaken for a boy. Even before he knew it was possible to be transgender. Blankers noticed that he acted, dressed, and talked, in a way that was more masculine than feminine. Sometimes others would be alarmed when he would walk into a women's restroom — the one supposed for him. "It's always been something that's created a lot of tension," Blankers said. "It felt really terrible. I was socialized female, and here I was, scaring other females." Three years of testosterone therapy and one chest-flattening surgery later, Blankers is able to choose the men's restroom option, though he still finds opening that door difficult. This time, he's not worried about offending others — he's fearful of being harmed if someone realizes that he's a transmale. "I still feel frightened this time, but now for myself," Blankers said. "I worry if someone recognizes me or knows I'm trans, it could be really, really dangerous." st Blankers is part of a small group of students conducting a survey of the bathrooms on campus, searching for gender-neutral bathrooms. Blankers ultimately hopes the University will have at least one gender-neutral, fully handicap-accessible bathroom in each campus building.

That's a lot of needless waste. And two women are on a mission to change it. As part of a nationwide tour called "Get Off the (H$_2$O) Bottle," director of the award-winning film "Tapped" will visit Lawrence to raise awareness about the environmental problems associated with plastic water bottles. The first 100 students to show up at the event can exchange a plastic water bottle for a free Klean Kanteen stainless steel bottle. The bottle swap starts at 2 p.m. and will be followed at 3 by a showing of the film. Corporate Accountability International KU, Environs, KU Recycling and the Center for Sustainability are sponsoring the event. "We are stopping at places that expressed an interest for us to come," said Stephanie Soechingt, director of the film. "Campuses are a particularly great place to stop. That's the generation that will do something. They are more motivated and still believe they can do something." The 33 day tour started in San Diego, on World Water Day and will end in Greenwich, Conn., April 23. Soechti and Sarah Olson, the films producer, and their dog, Fellini, are driving across the country to get their message out and fill up their truck with plastic bottles. Every bottle exchanged is tossed into the back. As of Friday, the truck was carrying 700 bottles; it can hold up to 15,000. Along with collecting bottles, Soechtg and Olson are gathering pledges from people to stop drinking bottled water and conserve. Soechtg said they had 300 pledges on their web site, more than 1,000 on Facebook and endless pages from the road — in all more than 2,000. "There has been an outpouring of support," Soechingt said.

ODD NEWS Man slips on dog poop, sues pet store NORFOLK, Va. — A man who said he fell after stepping in dog feces at a PetSmart store has filed a $1 million negligence lawsuit against the company. Robert Holloway of Poquoson, Va. alleged in his lawsuit in U.S. District Court that he badly injured his back, struck his head and knocked out four teeth when he slipped in January 2009 at a Newport News PetSmart. In court documents, Phoenix-based PetSmart denied the negligence allegations. He alleged that PetSmart and its manager should have protected him from the hazardous condition created when they allowed animals to defecate on the floor. Court date includes showing up drunk BILLING. Mont. — A 49-year-old Montana man who apparently was intoxicated when he came to court for his trial on a felony drunken driving charge, has pleaded no contest to his 11th DUI. Thaylin Shawn Pierce, of Billings, entered the plea Thursday. He's free on bond until his sentencing on June 22. Pierce was charged in November 2008 after he tried to drive after being kicked out of a casino. His trial was scheduled to begin Wednesday, but the judge suspected Pierce was intoxicated. A breath test showed Pierce had a blood-alcohol level of 0.093 percent. Negotiations for a plea agreement began. One of the conditions was that Pierce had to return to court sober the next morning to enter his plea. Pierce has nine previous drunken driving convictions in Colorado and another one in Wyoming. Police allege man stole ambulance SAN DIEGO — San Diego police said a man just out of the hospital for intoxication stole an ambulance and fled from police before they stopped him with spike strips. Police said 52-year-old Paul John Sos was arrested Saturday on suspicion of auto theft, failure to yield to police and felony drunk driving. Police Sgt. Ray Battrick said Sos had been found drunk and taken to Sharp Hospital in a private ambulance, Batrick said Sos checked himself out Saturday morning then found an unattended fire department ambulance with keys in the ignition. The ambulance had GPS installed and police quickly found it, but Sos refused to stop, leading a slow pursuit through residential streets before he was stopped with spike strips and arrested. Police did not know if he had hired an attorney.

These restrooms have signs that only say "Bathroom," or are often displayed as "family bathrooms." As part of an effort to reach out to the transgendered community, Queers and Allies will be providing only gender-neutral bathrooms at all of its events during this year's Pride Week, which begins today. Blankers found four gender-neutral bathrooms. He's currently searching for more, and hopes to make a map of all on-campus gender-neutral bathrooms in Twente Hall. "Every single time I ever have to go to the bathroom, it's something I think about." Blankens said. "It's important for people who aren't readily perceived as male or female" Sara Thompson, executive director of KU Queers and Allies, said that at each event, members of Q&A will place signs outside of the restrooms that advertise them as gender-free. She said they won't cover up the already existing 'male' or 'female' bathroom signs, but will acknowledge the fact that anyone who feels comfortable in is allowed to use either. In order to be allowed to convert the Union restrooms into gender-neutral restrooms, Q&A had to receive permission from the Kansas Memorial Unions staff. Rachel Gadd-Nelson, educational outreach coordinator of Q&A, said the union staff understood the educational importance of gender-neutral restrooms. Thompson said the importance of gender-neutral bathrooms extends beyond Pride Week. "It's a really big issue for transgendered folk or gender-neutral folk," said Thompson, a senior from Salina. "It makes society uncomfortable. But people are people — everyone deserves respect. We want everyone to feel comfortable." The bathroom de-classification is meant to be as much of an educational tool as it is to offer a practical solution, Rachel Gadd-Nelson, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., said. - Edited by Ashley Montgomery "People who are going into the bathrooms at our events know what bathroom they're going into, and they're letting people know," she said. "It's giving them something to think about."

APRIL 5, 2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KANSAN.COM RELIGION Celebrating Easter at home or away BY NANCY WOLFENG nwolens@kansan.com Katy Billups couldn't go home to celebrate Easter Sunday with her family. But she didn't let that stop her from having a day filled with Easter baskets, church, brunch and celebrations with her friends right here in Lawrence. Billups, a senior from Dallas, didn't make the trip home because of the distance and brevity of the holiday weekend. While some schools cancel classes on Good Friday or the Monday after Easter, the University doesn't, which makes traveling home difficult for some. Billups said she doesn't mind not going home for Easter but she does miss some of her family's traditions. "I miss waking up and getting Easter baskets, having a good breakfast and Easter dinner," Billups said. Although she wasn't with her family, her parents did send her their traditional Easter basket filled with candy and goodies as well as some "bunny money" that she receives each year to spend on her own Easter brunch and dinner merriments. But some students like Todd Dorsey, a junior from Overland Park, are able to drive home and celebrate with family. "Growing up, my two brothers and I greatly anticipated a full basket of delicious candy and the Easter egg hunt every Easter." Dorsey said. But the holiday isn't just about easter eggs and family tradition. Easter Sunday, one of Christianity's most important holidays, celebrates Jesus Christ's resurrection from the cross and marks the end of Lent, the 40 day period of fasting and prayer leading up to Easter. Lent, a longstanding Christian tradition, is a time of reflection, self-deprivation, and penance that symbolizes the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert, as depicted in the New Testament. During Lent it is traditional to give up something that people may do often and find pleasure in. Billips knew right away what she had to give up for Lent. Her guilty pleasure: the veggie sandwich and barbecue chips at Jimmy Johns. "I would go to limmy John's late at night way too much," Billups said. "It was bad." Billups said. After going 40 days without a submarine, she planned to indulge after going out Saturday evening. After all, Lent officially ended at midnight Saturday. Instead of giving up a thing Dorsey gave up time. He chose to use his free time, or the time he spent doing things he enjoys, to help others by serving meals at Jubilee Cafe, a restaurant-style meal service for the needy or homeless. Dorsey said it was difficult to stick with because the Dorsey said it was stick with because the meal service at Jubilee Café begins at 5:30 a.m. and lasts for about three hours. "With school, work and life it makes it tough to get up that early consistently." Dorsey said. Edited by Ashley Montgomery HISTORY OF EASTER TRADITIONS Todd Dorsey, a junior from Overland Park, said he grew up hunting for candy-filled eggs on Easter. He was used to the commercialized jelly beans, plastic baskets and chocolate bunnies. But, until he looked into it, never really knew why it was a part of easter. "Originally the egg was a symbol of the rebirth of the earth in celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus," Dorsey said. According to History.com the use of Easter eggs is traced back to pagan traditions. The word Easter originates from Eostre, believed to be the goddess of spring and fertility. For some Christians, the egg, an age-old icon for new life, represents Jesus' resurrection. The origin of the Easter bunny delivering baskets to children is uncertain. The rabbit represents fertility and new life and is said to have been introduced in America in the 1700s by German immigrants. The Germans had a tradition with an egg-laying hare called "Osterhase" or "Oschter Haws" where children would assemble nests where the animal could livl its mote hens where the animal could lay it eggs. That ritual dispersed and, as the years GPM went on, was transformed into what it is today; decorated baskets, replacing the nest, filled with colored eggs, candy and gifts.

CAMPUS Walkway to pay for senior class gift BY JENNY TERRELL jterrell@kansan.com This year's senior class gift promises to leave an imprint at the University, even if it has a high cost. This year, instead of selling T-shirts to raise money for the senior class gift, the senior class and the Kansas University Endowment Association are selling personalized bricks to form the "Class Legacy Walk." It will be a walkway along the north side of the Ambler Student Recreation Center. "It allows students a place where they can have their name permanently on campus," said senior class vice president Matt Enriquez. Enriquez, a senior from Topeka, said the senior class advisory board decided against the traditional route of selling T-shirts in hopes that this would draw in more money. "You can really only make so much money with T-shirts," Enriquez said. "We usually only make $2,000 to $4,000 — maybe." The money from the walkway will go toward the actual class gift, which is a scholarship fund set up through the Endowment Association. Sarah Phillips, assistant director of annual giving at the Endowment Association, said the specifics of the scholarship, such as qualifications and monetary amounts, have not been decided and will depend on the amount raised through brick sales. A 4-by-8 inch brick will cost $90 and has room for three lines of text. Each line can contain up to 15 characters. An 8-by-8 inch brick goes for $250 and includes six lines of text. For some seniors, those prices make contributing to the class gift out of reach. "I don't think I'd even consider buying one," said Fritz Helbert, a senior from Topeka. "It just seems too expensive." Helbert said he has never been that interested in the senior gifts, but he said T-shirts would at least be a little more affordable. Enriquez and Phillips said they hoped adding bricks to the walkway will become a new tradition for senior gifts of future classes; the next three or four classes can add their bricks until the walkway is complete.

This change is part of the 528 million conservation project, which will help improve energy efficiency in 56 buildings on campus. VIA The University entered into a $25 million energy-saving contract that will focus on improvements in heating, lighting, ventilation and water usage in 56 campus buildings. The University will work in For the next 18 months, students will see construction workers and contractors on campus, but they probably won't notice any obvious changes being made. BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com "The project has essentially just begun," McVey said. "A lot of it is in the planning stage" conjunction with Energy Solutions Professionals of Overland Park in a project estimated to save $2 million annually, said Scott McVey, KU energy conservation and utility manager. SCOTT MCVEY KU energy conservation and utility manager The lighting projects have slowly started to flicker across campus. When finished, the lighting change from 32 to 28 watt bulbs and the installation of some automatic sensors will cost $2 million. So far, bulbs in Smith, Wesley and Fraser halls has been replaced. Lighting renovations in the Spencer Museum of Art, Watson Library and Spooner, Dyke, Bailey and Blake halls will be completed in the next three weeks, McVey said. "The project has essentially just begun. A lot of it is in the planning stage." Plumbing changes are starting as well. Low-flow toilets, which use only one quart of water, will replace the units that use three to four gallons a flush. McVey said the more significant changes were being made in Malott and Haworth. Three weekends ago, in preparation for the work, leaky valves were replaced to help aid the installation of a dozen new air handling units, which will greatly improve energy efficiency. Also in the contract is an awareness program expected to save $200,000 a year. Starting with departments on campus, Energy Solutions Professionals are evaluating offices after hours to look for ways to save energy, such as turning off the computers, said Jeff Severin, director of the Center of Sustainability. ESP will follow up with the departments to show them ways to better reduce energy waste. The program will focus more on Even though the changes will be made in a year and a half, Energy Solutions Professionals will track and record the improvements for 15 years. "The average student will have more of a role in the classroom," Severin said. "Students help by just noticing if there are lights on in an unoccupied classroom, turning them off if they are the last one to leave the room, or even giving a gentle reminder to the professor to turn off the computer and lights when they leave." departments, but students who work on campus can take notice as well, Severin said.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, APRIL 5, 2010 / NEWS 5A TECHNOLOGY Customers wait in line for release of iPad MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES _ Amid an atmosphere of carefully cultivated euphoria, Apple fans across the country waited in lines Saturday morning, excited to get their hands on the first of Apple Inc's new iPad tablet computers. "It's a new member of the family," said Pat Fallis, a Burbank producer who, along with his wife and a friend, had been waiting at the Grove in Los Angeles since 2 a.m. When fallis was finally allowed into the store, blue-shirted Apple employees greeted him and other customers as though they were football players taking the field at the Super Bowl, with choreographed whoops, applause and high fives. The much-hyped iPad went on sale nationwide Saturday morning, and buyers queued up at the company's flagship stores in cities including San Francisco, Boston and New York. Prospective buyers offered real-time play-byplay from outside the stores via Twitter and Facebook. "Wow. Line at the Apple store for the iPad is up the block, around the corner, and halfway down that block," wrote San Francisco Twitter user Sean Neprud. But many line-averse Apple fans opted to order their iPads online, and at some lesser-known stores, it was business as usual. "No line," reported another Twitter user named cameleon1267, from Oakbrook, Ill. "Took me 10 min to leave with an ipad :)!" Apple did not offer early sales numbers, but analysts at El Segundo-based research company iSuppli Corp. expected the company to sell 7 million of the Apple, the Cupertino-based maker of the best-selling iPod and iPhone devices, has sought to portray the iPad as a next-generation computing and media station. Without a keyboard or devices this year, with that number tripling by 2012. a mouse, the flat tablet is essentially a large touchscreen slate that uses usap and press, to open windows, and interact with on-screen objects. It is designed to offer most types of media _ television, books, games, music. Web pages as well as com as well as communica tions features such as e-mail and Twitter. were ushered to shelves full of iPads, then on to checkout areas. Store clerks were armed with special infrared iPhones that allowed them to quickly scan and ring up purchases. At the Grove, the Apple store quickly filled with buyers who New iPad owners were shown how to log in to the devices to "What will really tell us how it's going is how it sustains itself after this initial wave." FRANCIS SIDECO Analyst at iSuppli begin surfing the Web,receiving e-mail and playing with the iPad's applications. The models on sale this week are Wi-Fi equipped and start at $499. Apple will release a more expensive line of 3G cellular iPads later this month, which will cost as much as $829 and offer a wireless data plan from AT&T for up to $30 per month. The chance to be one of the iPad's original owners attracted many Apple die-hards. Eli Matar, a jeweler from Los Angeles, wore a shirt that said, "I'm a Mac," a reference to Apple's series of pro-Mac, anti-PC commercials. Matar was holding his Maltese named Muffy, who wore a tiny dog shirt that read, "I'm a Mac too!" Although the lines and online buzz indicated early interest in the device, analysts said the true test would come after the initial hype died down. "We have to weed through all the Apple-philes to see what's what," said Francis Sideco, an analyst at iSuppli. "What will really tell us how it's going is how it sustains itself after this initial wave." Teens find body near kids'Easter egg hunt DES MOINES, Iowa — Police say two teenagers who wandered away from their younger siblings at an Easter egg hunt found a body at a Des Moines park. He didn't know how old the teens were. Police Sgt. Chris Scott said the teens came across the man's body in a wooded area at Beaverdale Park on Saturday morning. Police say they don't suspect any foul play, and an autopsy is planned. He said the teens had accompanied their siblings to the park's egg hunt but wandered away. The body was found at least 300 yards from where the egg hunt took place. About 100 children participated in the annual event. The man's name hasn't been released pending notification of his family.

People.com reported that Sheen is set to walk from the top-rated CBS comedy after taping on the seventh season wraps this month. LOS ANGELES — Charlie Sheen is having some trouble lying low. "Charlie's just done," someone identified as a "set source" told People. Sheen's publicist, however, isn't exactly confirming that. "Charlie's deal is only through this current season." Stan Rosenfield told People. So what's going on? With Sheen, it's always hard to tell. But it may be just one big negotiating ploy, Warner Bros., the studio that makes the show, recently tried to re-up the star's contract. But Access Hollywood says Sheen balked at an offer to raise his salary from nearly $1 million — a figure that already makes him among the best-compensated actors on TV — to $1.2 million per episode.

EDITORIAL BOARD Pride Week is a time to learn Whatever letter of LGBTQIA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Ally) best represents you, this week is the time to embrace it. Pride Week has become a tradition at the University, started by the student group Queens and Allies 20 years ago. It is a chance for the community to come out, join together as a group and celebrate Sara Thompson, president of Queers and Allies, said it is a week of education and awareness. It is a way of saying "We're here, we're queer, and we're not going away." This year, the group is starting something that hasn't been done during Pride Week before. At all of this week's events, there will be gender-neutral signs set up in place of men's and women's segregated restrooms. Kellen Bolt, Pride Week coordinator, said the goal is "to make the people who are transitioning feel more comfortable and more accepted." The addition of gender neutral bathrooms is a step forward in fighting against gender discrimination, which the city of Lawrence has not been fully supportive of. Pride Week has contributed to the development of gender equality, but the challenge isn't overcome. "While we've made huge Recently, a Mississippi high school prom was canceled because a female student wanted to bring her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo. On Wednesday night Pride Prom will be a safe space to show how wrong this discrimination is. Students and faculty should be excited to participate, starting today with the kiss-in. This is a way to be visible and raise awareness of the hatred and fear that still exists. Allies to the community should also show support by participating at the kiss-in. Bolt said all of the events this week are worth going to. But he said that if you had time for one event, make it the Vogue Evolution performance. This group is the first openly gay team to be on America's Best Dance Crew. They practice a style of dance called voguing, which has been in the LGBT culture since the Harlem Renaissance Perhaps the most important role this week serves is that it creates an opportunity to ask questions. If something makes you uncomfortable, be open to understanding why that is and work toward acceptance Tolerance shouldn't be limited to this week; the ideas that inspire Pride Week should be something the community strives for all year. Starting today, celebrate coming out, celebrate being who you are and celebrate with pride. Caitlin Thornbrugh for The Kansan Editorial Board PRIDE WEEK CALENDAR EDITORIAL CARTOON Mon.

The female orgasm was difficult enough, but as a woman, writing about the male orgasm is an even bigger challenge. But it's too important to ignore. Actually, there's a lot more to male orgasms than most people think. Many men suffer from erectile problems, but too many don't like to talk about it or deal with it. Being unable to please a woman and function properly in bed is still socially unacceptable and may be embarrassing for some. Yet, the Mayo Clinic found that one in three men experience problems with premature ejaculation at some point in their life. This is especially common among younger males. When I told my friends I was writing about the male orgasm, the first reactions were "You'll be done in one paragraph" and "What is there to talk about? Stick it in and wait for it." - Intimacy: A 1999 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that men who are in uncommitted relationships reported more erectile problems than those who are in satisfactory, stable relationships. Also, married men have fewer erectile problems than non-married men. No reason to run to the next church, but Although there are numerous treatment options for premature ejaculation, including surgery and medications, let's not go that far. Most problems have a psychological and behavioral cause. Common options include: 100 Let's Talk about Sex Cognitive restructuring: Cognitive restructuring,a popular method in sex therapy,involves changing internal,automatic thoughts that can prevent sexual arousal or orgasms,especially if you are stressed or worried. Since change of habits and reflexes take time,practice makes perfect. Try consulting a professional for the right method for you. BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI — Techniques: There are many ways to last longer, but again, only frequent practice will work most effectively. Try some of the following techniques: "Squeeze technique." During sex, try squeezing the end of your penis between the head and shaft for a few seconds and let go. Repeat if you need to. try working on your relationship if you're not happy with it. Your sex life and overall well being will benefit. Or you could masturbate longer. Stop before you go and take a quick pause, then resume and try to do that for at least ten minutes. Kegel exercises work to strengthen your muscles. Try by stopping and starting your urine flow. When you've done that a few times, you should be able to practice this muscle training without urination and during sex. Finally, work to extend foreplay and move slower during sex. But first, try out which techniques work best for you. — Drugs: Stay away from alcohol, marijuana or other substance abuse. Studies show that men who drink alcohol or smoke weed regularly are much more likely to have sexual arousal or ejaculation problems. - Sex education and sexual sensitivity: Learn about the basics of the human body and sex. Explore whatever you can. Knowledge won't hurt and you can often benefit from learning more about your body, your partner's body and how to maximize pleasure. Communication: You've heard it before, I'm sure. Talking honestly with your partner about your wishes, concerns and desires is not only important to keep the relationship alive, but also solves sexual problems and dissatisfaction. Vaughn S. Millner, professor of Interdisciplinary Studies and licensed counselor, links communication among partners directly to more pleasurable sexual experiences. After all, how should your partner know what you like when you don't tell her? Bledowski is a graduate student from Cracow, Poland, in journalism. GENDER ISSUES Women pay price with biased insurance plans Our neighbors in Colorado just passed a law banning gender rating in health insurance - and, in this case, we should follow their lead. Those four years are long enough to get a college degree. They are also long enough to go broke paying for unreasonable insurance rates. Gender rating, which is the practice of charging people different rates based solely on their sex, is still legal in 37 states, including Kansas. The recent health care reform will outlaw this practice nationwide, but the change won't go into full effect until 2014. Sex and Sensibility According to the 2009 report "Still Nowhere To Turn," from the non-profit National Women's Law Center, the number of health insurance companies practicing gender rating has increased from 93 percent to 95 percent since 2008. Businesses that employ more women than men can be charged more for their group insurance plans. And, up until April 2009, Arkansas actually allowed insurance companies to use a history of domestic abuse to deny coverage to women. The problem also falls close to home: All of the best-selling insurance plans in Kansas practice gender rating. Sixty percent of those plans charge non-smoking women a higher coverage rate than smoking men of the same age. The difference in these rates varies from six to 34 percent. Let's get this straight: A man who has a habit linked to everything from heart disease to lung cancer usually pays less for his health care than a woman who keeps herself healthy. And these plans don't include specialty women's care, which is the only semi-plausible explanation for increased costs between genders. Even then, there are plenty of men-only medical procedures, such as those related to BY MELISSA LYTTON prostate issues, which counterbalance that excuse. This is an even bigger deal for college-age women. At age 25, the difference in charges can be as high as 84 percent in some states, and they still exclude maternity coverage. Some students are lucky enough to be on their parents' insurance plans, and with the health care bill increasing the eligibility age to 26 (if you are unmarried), that may come to be a larger chunk of the student body. But there are still plenty of students whose parents can't afford the extra dependents. And even if you're over the discrimination peak age of 25, things aren't very pretty. Only 13 percent of plans for 30-year-old women provide maternity coverage. So why should we have to put up with this for four more years? We don't have to. Thirteen states have already taken the initiative to ban gender rating. There's no reason Kansas shouldn't be next. The University enrolls more than 30,000. If every one of us wrote a letter to state representatives, the sheer number couldn't be ignored. But that's not the only way to get involved. Bring the topic up in your women's studies classes, your law classes or even in your bowling classes. Spread the word. Start a petition. I came to the University because Jayhawks make change happen. And right now, we need it more than ever. Lytton is a senior from Kodiak, Alaska, in creative writing.

Donnelly has said she pursued music not for fame but for producing intelligent work. BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com As she sits in the grass with her guitar in her lap, Lisa Donnellly, a 2002 graduate, sings the chorus of one of her most popular songs, called "Laugh," which is featured in a Tang commercial in Brazil. The song encompasses Donnellly's outlook on life: the belief that laughter can get her through anything. After graduating from the University with a degree in psychology, Donnellly moved to Los Angeles to follow her dreams of becoming a singer — not for the fame, she said, but for the passion that she had to make intelligent music. After a few gigs in bands, she put out a solo album last year. She's also in a band called Foxxglove with former KU student Bevin Hamilton, who is an actress and singer in Los Angeles. Both Hamilton and Donnelly are big fans of Lawrence, as they both started their musical careers while at the University. Hamilton got her start in music playing in a local band at the Bottleneck and other bars around town. Hamilton and Donnelly collaborate musically in Los Angeles and just returned from performing in Austin, Texas, at the South by Southwest music festival. "I think Lisa's voice is absolutely amazing." Hamilton said. Donnelly got her start in music when she began singing for a blues band that frequented the bar Brownbear, which no longer exists, where she worked in Lawrence during college. Donnelly sang with them for a year. A few months later, she went to Spain to study abroad for the spring and summer semesters. "I had so many musical experiences in Spain," she said. "I really decided when I was there that I would try to start writing songs." When she returned to Lawrence, Donnelly formed a band with other students. She wrote her first song, called "Peace of Mind," and performed it in her psychology lecture, a class taught by Stephen Illardi, associate professor of psychology. Donnelly said Ilardi was very supportive of her music. He told her if music was her dream, to do that first, before doing anything she was "supposed to do" after college Taking his advice, she packed up her car and made the move to the west coast where she would have a better opportunity to network and take her singing career. In 2009, she released her debut solo album, called "We had a Thing," with the help of investors. Donnelly said the songs on the album are mainly about life, and her own experiences falling down and getting back up in her 20s. "You have to have a natural strength to follow your dreams," she said. Donnelly said she often had little moments of feeling successful. She once received an e-mail from a fan who was battling cancer and told her that her music helped her get through it. Donnelly came home last week, topping her visit off with a performance at the Jazzhaus Thursday. "What I like most about her is that she has stayed true to roots. She is very much her own artist," Hamilton said. "Her record is totally a reflection of her heart, travels and soul." - Edited by Drew Anderson To view a video of Lisa Donnelly, visit kansan.com/videos. > ODD NEWS A fishy situation in a McDonald's eatery SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. — Police said an impatient customer slapped a drive-thru worker at a New Jersey McDonald's because and walked out of the restaurant with the sandwich. he was tired of waiting for his Filet-O-Fish sandwich.

The game featured four lead changes before ending in an 8-8 tie in the 11th inning. The tie is Kansas' first ever Big 12 game that ended in a tie, and only the fourth since 1980. Texas A&M's travel plans end series finale after two extra innings BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter.com/bm_dub After two games that came down to the wire on Thursday and Friday, the Jayhawks' series finale on Saturday seemed headed for a similar finish. In an instant, the extra innings contest between Kansas (18-10-1, 3-2-1) and No. 22 Texas A&M was over. The game that seemed headed for the most dramatic end of all three instead ended in anticlimactic fashion as the game was ruled an 8-8 tie because of the Aggies' travel plans. "It's an awful way to end this series, especially when it was as highly competitive as this series has been," coach Ritch Price said of his third career tie. "One of the great things about our sport is that we don't have ties. It's not hockey. So it's a weird feeling." The Jayhawk players were more visibly disappointed by the abrupt end to the series. "It ites like a loss, to be honest," junior left fielder Jimmy Waters said. Kansas has been making a habit of close games lately, which continued Thursday as it nearly saw a six-run lead disappear to a A&M rally, but the Jayhawks hung on for a 9-5 win. The trend continued on Friday in a 6-4 setback, with the Jayhawks being the club to make late noise, but come up just short. The disappointment for Kansas was punctuated by the series finale on Saturday. The Jayhawks looked to be cruising toward victory from the first inning on, after junior center fielder Brian Heere got them started with a two-run home run to right field. Even after A&M rallied to take the lead 3-2 in the fifth, Kansas quickly answered back. After an RBI single by senior second baseman Robby Price, Waters belts a bases clearing double to deep left field, which gave the Jayhawks a 6-3 lead. With freshman Tanner Poppe looking untouchable from the mound in the sixth and seventh, the lead appeared it would be enough for a Jayhawk victory. Waters said that it falls upon everyone — hitters and pitchers equally — to show a killer instinct late in the game. But the Aggies battered Poppe for four runs in the eighth to erase the Jayhawks lead and take a 7-6 edge. "We've got to find a way to put people away," Waters said. "We've been doing it all week, and it's kind of getting annoying at this point."

For Gill, the difference between reacting and thinking represents the most noticeable handicap when learning new terminology. Gill said the jayhawks probably won't develop that comfort level until preseason practices in lingo used to describe certain plays or techniques.

Kansas struggles to collect hits, gets swept by Texas BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com twitter.com/zqetz After two weeks of Big 12 play, Kansas (16-19, 0-4) is still looking for a conference victory after No. 17 Texas swept Kansas at home 7-0 and 6-2 over the weekend. Kansas knew going in Texas had a good pitcher, and freshman Blaire Luna didn't disappoint. She had two great outings and pitched 13.1 innings, giving up just four hits and no runs. "She's very, very good at what she does," sophomore infielder Marissa Ingle said. "She throws balls well and placed the ball well against out batters." COMMENTARY Coach Megan Smith said Luna was a good pitcher, but the Jayhawks' inability to hit had a part in her stat sheet. "Offensively we just didn't make the adjustments we needed to make to be successful," Smith said. "She's certainly not as good as we made her look." Ingle agreed with Smith that the team didn't make adjustments, and also said Kansas needed to keep working on the fundamentals. "We needed to focus on making routine hits instead of swinging for the fences," Ingle said. "We need to do our thing instead of While Kansas lost the series, freshman outfielder Rosie Hull said losses like that don't deflate the team. Ingle said the Jayhawks try to use losses to analyze its game and get better. "We can't get down on ourselves too much, otherwise, it wouldn't be fun anymore." Hull said. "Texas is a good team, and we have to acknowledge that and turn the page." "We think about the positives of each game and take that to the next one, and try to get better." SEE SWEPT ON PAGE 3B Football needs to identify its playmakers BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com W When last season started to fall apart - when the jayhawks lost seven consecutive games before coach Mark Mangino resigned under pressure — fans and media members tried to locate the heart of Kansas' problems And there were certainly plenty of available culprits. The Jayhawks were plagued by costly turnovers. They couldn't make crucial defensive stops in games. And they didn't develop any rhythm offensively. But those problems only served as pieces to the larger issue at hand. The layhawks simply didn't have game-changers last season, and they struggled because of it. On the surface, Kansas seemed loaded with potential playmakers. The Jayhawks returned proven veterans Todd Reeing, Jake Sharp, Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe. At times, each one of those players showed flashes. But the lajahawks never received consistent, game-changing plays from that cast, and they rarely received the big play in the game's big moment last year. In the sixth game of the season at Colorado, Reesing floated a deep pass to Briscoe as the clock expired. Briscoe jumped above Colorado's defenders, grabbed the ball high in the air, but had it knocked away when he fell to the ground. As Kansas' season progressed, Briscoe's words seemed increasingly relevant. The Jayhawks had plenty of chances last season. But in the deciding moments of games - in the moments when a team's best players usually step forward - the Jayhawks were often stood up. Kansas lost 34-30 in the first of seven consecutive defeats. "I was real close actually" Briscoe said after the game. "I had the ball, came down and the guy's helmet hit it. He was in the right position. They came to play; we didn't." Now as Kansas enters the middle of spring practices under new coach Turner Gill, the Jayhawks will attempt to find those decisive, game-changing players that were often missing last year. "We hopefully can find two to three guys, so-called playmakers," Gill said. "When you need a play to be made on defense, somebody on that defense is going to make that play." The Jayhawks appear to have options on both sides of the ball Freshman wide receiver Bradley McDougald arrived at Kansas as a highly regarded recruit and showed bursts of explosiveness. Freshman Toben Opurum plowed through—and bounced off—defenders last season in leading Kansas with 554 rushing yards. Defensively, freshman safety Lubbock Smith proved to be a tenacious tackler, while junior defensive end Jake Laptad led the Jayhawks with 6.5 sacks. Now the job of identifying and cultivating those playmakers rests with Gill and his staff. "If a guy in practice is consistently making plays over and over again, you're going to notice that," Gill said. "And that's what you want to see." Most importantly, that's what the Jayhawks need to win games this season.

By the time I get to the locker room, I'm done." —Tom Osborne FACT OF THE DAY Duke coach Mike Krzyezewski has won three National Championships as the Blue Devils' coach. — ESPN.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: What's the most points an opponent has scored against Butler during the 2010 NCAA Tournament? A: 59. UTEP and Syracuse both scored 59 points against the Bulldogs. SCORES Butler Athletics NCAA Men's Basketball: No. 1 Duke 78, No. 2 West Virginia 57 No. 5 Butler 52, No. 5 Michigan State 50 NCAA Women's Basketball: No. 1 Stanford 73, No. 3 Oklahoma 66 No. 1 Connecticut 70, No. 4 Baylor 50 NBA Basketball: Boston 117, Cleveland 113 San Antonio 100, LA Lakers 81 Houston 102, Indiana 133 Memphis 92, Orlando 107 New Jersey 99, Washington 109 Golden State 113, Toronto 112 Minnesota 108, Oklahoma City 116 New York 113, LA Clippers 107 Tourney expansion bad idea MORNING BREW W When Butler faces off against Duke in the national championship game tonight, we pionship game tonight, we should take in this moment because we may not (and probably won't) ever see anything like this again. The NCAA is contemplating a serious push for greed — I mean expansion — to the NCAA tournament field from 65 teams to a gaudy 96-team field. In tonight's game you will see what the beauty of college basketball is all about and why expansion is a horrible idea. Butler, coming out of the Horizon League of all places, play at its home, the host city Indianaapolis. They will be going up against arguably one of the greatest college basketball programs in history — the Duke Blue Devils. If this idea of expansion does come to life, the chances of a Duke-Butler title game would be very small. Under the 96-team format the tournament would give automatic bids to the top 32 teams and the rest of the 64 entrants would have to play their way in. I may be naive, but why is the NCAA going to reward a team like Texas Tech, who under the current format would be considered a "bubble team" for the NIT, by making them a tournament team? This the NCAA's version of No Child Left Behind. I like to call this "No Team Left Behind." No longer will we see teams like Virginia Tech, Mississippi State and South BY ANDREW HAMMOND Florida sweat on Selection Sunday. We will be reduced to the "tourney worthy" teams such as Wichita State, Northeastern and Stony Brook. Excuse me while I get sick to my stomach at the thought of that. The beauty of Butler and Duke's run would be watered down because they would have had a first-round bye, and therefore wouldn't have had to go through a seven-game gauntlet to win the national title. While watching "One Shining Moment" tonight, take in the moments of this year's tournament and see the joy out of teams like Cornell, St. Mary's and yes, Northern Iowa. We may see these Cinderellas make a run to the Sweet 16 once every 10 years with the potential format giving less deserving teams a chance. The NCAA needs to stop milking the cash cow and enjoy what it already has because that's as good as it gets.

In the first game Texas used a three-run top third inning to take a 4-0 lead early. Texas was getting hits easily while Kansas could not get its offense going against riseball pitcher Luna. Texas tacked on three more runs in the seventh while Kansas was outit 13-3 and shutout 7-0. Texas kept Luna in for the second game. It was more of the same as by the top of the sixth, Texas had a 6-0 lead. Luna was working on a no-hitter when, in the bottom of the sixth, Texas took Luna out. With Luna out, Kansas was finally able to get some momentum. The run started with Ingle hitting her fourth home run of the year. Kansas then scored another run, and had runners on first and second.

Gill said he understands that each player learns at different speeds, and that will certainly be taken into account. Then again, players that smoothly adjust might improve their standing. "That means they can catch on pretty quickly and you can see their skills a lot better," Gill said. "Then there are going to be some people that may not show their speed, their quickness or their reaction because they're still thinking. We take all that into consideration "But at some point in time you have to take the leash off and see if they're going to react because that's part of football." Gill and Kansas' players didn't elaborate on the specifics of the terminology changes. But Smith said players are adapting quickly this spring and that so far practices have mostly featured fundamentals. Edited by Allyson Shaw In doing so, the Jayhawks are simply focusing on the basic element of terminology. NBA "There's a lot of starting over out there," offensive coordinator Chuck Long said. "And that's OK. With a new staff and being that they're young, that will help them grow in the system." ASSOCIATED PRESS Ray Allen, Celtics beat Cavs in final minute BOSTON — Ray Allen scored a season-high 33 points, hitting his sixth 3 pointer to give the Celtics a four-point lead with 48 seconds left, and Boston held on despite 42 points from LeBron James to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 117-113 on Sunday. The win snapped a three-game home losing streak for Boston, and it kept the Cavaliers from clinching home-court advantage for the entire postseason. James scored 20 in the fourth quarter, when the Cavs erased a 17-point lead and took their first lead at 104-103 with 2:58 left. But he missed two free throws in the last 16 seconds and a 3-point attempt on a fast break with 3.2 seconds left when a 2-pointer would have tied it. James was 0-for-9 from three-point range, including a meaningless, unguarded shot at the final buzzer that bounced off the rim. Afterward, he and Kevin Garnett exchanged dirty looks — a fitting end to a game that featured six technicals and Cleveland coach Mike Brown's ejection. Antawn Jamison scored 16 points with 10 rebounds, and J.J. Hickson had 14 and 11 for Cleveland, which would earn home court advantage for the entire playoffs after the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Spurs Sunday. Garnett scored 19 points, Paul Pierce had 16 and Kendrick Perkins had 10 points and 10 rebounds to help Boston even the season series with Cleveland at 2-2. If the standings hold and the favorites prevail, the Celtics and Cavaliers would meet in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Calipari fields questions about players MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INDIANAPOLIS — Kentucky Coach John Calipari said Thursday he doesn't yet know how many players will be leaving his program, but that the worst-case scenario is that "it could be so many you're not gonna ever try to fill that many" Calipari received the Adolph Rupp Cup for Coach of the Year and John Wall the Adolph Rupp Trophy for Player of the Year during a ceremony held by the Commonwealth Athletic Club at the Marriott Hotel on Thursday. Afterward, Wall said he planned to make an official decision soon about whether to go pro after having just completed a standout freshman season. Calipari appeared to let the cat out of the bag during the ceremony when he told the gathering that Wall wanted to be the first player to "leave after one year and still get his degree." But Wall denied that he has made a final decision or that he has signed with an agent. "I had a great time at Kentucky, and I haven't made my decision yet." Wall said. "I'll make it in the next week or two." Not that Calipari has any pretenses about what the future holds for his point guard. "I have an opinion of what he should do," said the coach. He also has his thoughts on the plans of freshmen DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton, who could join seniors Ramon Harris, Mark Krebs and Perry Stevens, and possibly graduating junior Patrick Patterson, as departures from a Kentucky team that went 35-3, with a loss to West Virginia in the East Regional finals last weekend. "During the season it's about our team," Calipari said. "When the season ends, the moment it ends, it's no longer about the team; it's about individual players. It's about them and their families. Now, you've worked hard for the team, you've worked hard for the state and for the program. Now it's your turn to make a decision for you and your family." Calipari did say that he expected both Orton and Bledsoe to test the NBA Draft waters, but that he wants to make sure that both are "protected," in case they end up wanting to come back. But with the possibility of a high number of departures, the coach also needs to protect himself and his program, with regard to next season. "I think we're recruiting a good group of young people," Calipari said. "And I think that by the time we start next year, I think we'll have a team in order that's going to be another good team. Looks like it's going to be a young team again. But that's OK." Calipari said he would not sign players just to sign players. Even though he had 13 scholarship players this season, Calipari said he to return next season, should they wish. Not every recruit is going to be a one-and-done, Calipari said. In nine years at Memphis, the coach had four players who were drafted after just one season. He could have four more this year. "It won't be like that (every "When the season ends, the moment it ends, it's no longer about the team;it's about individual players." JOHN CALIPARI Kentucky head coach would be comfortable with having 10 scholarship players and "one or two walk-ons" The coach also denied rumors Darnell Dodson was no longer on the team. He also said his understanding is that all of the four freshmen are in the proper academic standing year)," Calipari said. "Part of it was that the team was so good this year it elevated every player. If we were a bad team, they would have looked bad as individual players." As the first Kentucky player to win the Rupp Award, John Wall looked the farthest thing from bad. Said Calipari. "Not every kid is going to have an opportunity to leave after one year. There will be kids who say to me, 'Coach, can you do for me what you did for John Wall?' Are you as good as John Wall? ... Yes, I can. If not, then no, I cannot."

Kansas finished five seconds behind Kansas State for their only loss to the Wildcats Kansas won the Cup overall 12-8. The rowing team notched its first victory of the season over rival Kansas State in the Kansas Cup on Saturday. The Jayhawks won every event except for the first Varsity Eight-boat to win 12-8. The stars of the race were the rowers in the first Varsity Four-boat, who blew past their Kansas State Varsity Four opponents by a whopping 31.6 seconds. The key for them was getting off to a quick start. "All week long we really worked on our starts to make sure that we had the first four strokes down and then a nice push right off," senior Brittany Belford said. "I guess getting ahead helped keep us ahead." The race that clinched the Kansas Cup on Senior Day was the Second Varsity Eight's narrow victory over the Wildcats — a race that the Jayhawks won by less than four seconds. "It was inspiring to know that if our boat won the race then we would win the Kansas Cup," junior Julia Guard said. "That motivated us at the end when we were down three or four seats with 500 meters to go." The victory was a huge confidence boost to a team that started its season earlier than usual so they could be better prepared when the Big 12 Championships roll around. Weston White/KANSAN "I thought the team performed well, especially the young kids," coach Rob Catloth said. "We won the Kansas Cup as a team and had a solid performance. You get a lot of confidence winning a team event, confidence as a team." KANSAS Bellford agreed about the advantages gained from starting the season earlier. Weston White/KANSAN "It's helped so much," Belford said. "Getting those first four races in Oklahoma City down and under our belt really gave us the experience to know what to work and where we need to push during the race." Next up for the Jayhawks are races next weekend in Pennsylvania against Old Dominion, Rhode Island and Bucknell.

The book was "The Gold Standard" by Duke coach Mike Krzyezwi, detailing his Olympic coaching experience and ability to build a team. So the 33-year-old Stevens meant it quite literally Sunday when he said of veteran coaches, "They write books and I get to read them." Stevens' coaching blueprint will be valuable now as the second-youngest coach to compete for an NCAA men's basketball championship. The season climax takes place Monday when Butler (33-4), a fifth seed, faces Duke (34-5), a No. 1 seed, for the title in Lucas Oil Household, only a few miles from The Blue Devils have been to the NCAA title game nine times and won it three times. Duke is a perennial power with 34 tournament appearances. The NCAA could not have pitted two teams with more polar public perceptions: Blue blood versus new blood. The program has produced 33 All-Americans and nine national players of the year. Duke was the only No.1 seed to advance to the Final Four this season. A bigger Goliath is hard to find. As Duke guard Nolan Smith said of a potential triumph, "I can be part of the hated tradition." Butler never had made it to the Final Four. The Bulldogs only chartered three flights before the tournament began. Its home arena of Hinkle Fieldhouse, used to film parts of the movie "Hoosiers," is more famous than any player. "If that's what the story is going to be, we'll accept that," sophomore swingman Gordon Hayward said. Perception, of course, isn't always reality. Although a No. 5 seed has never won the championship — No. 8 Villanova's 1985 victory over Georgetown was the classic Cinderella saga — Butler is far from a group of scrappy scrubs. The Bulldogs have won 25 straight and knocked off the likes of Syracuse, Kansas State and Michigan State in the tournament. No tournament team has scored 60 points on Butler's stonewall defense. "When I look at Brad, I say, 'How far ahead is he from where I was?' Krzyzewski said. "He's a much better coach. He's already established himself. I was in the midst of trying to figure out who the heck I was."

Despite being the first team to play in a Final Four in its hometown since UCLA in 1972, Butler (33-4) had to overcome making just one basket in the final 12 minutes, 17 seconds, misfiring on 34 of 49 in the game and being without two injured starters much of the night. And it was staring at multiple scenarios for defeat in the final 30 seconds, between Michigan State (28-9) having the ball trailing by one and then having Nored at the line with 6.1 seconds left after making just three of 12 free throws in NCAA play. "Thanks for reminding me." Nored said. He could joke about it after he made both to give the Bulldogs a slight 52-49 cushion in the final seconds. But it wasn't over yet. Even after Butler fouled Michigan State to prevent the Spartans from launching a three-pointer, suspense lingered. Duke easily puts away W. Virginia, remaining as lone No.1 seed After MSU's Korie Lucious made a free throw with 2 seconds left, he intentionally missed the second. But there, again, was Butler's omnipresent Gordon Hayward, who had 19 points and claimed his ninth rebound to put it away. ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — After tossing a big, wet blanket on one feelgood story, Duke gets to go after another. They don't call 'em the Devils for nothing. Still, Butler is a No. 5 seed. W Jon Scheyer scored 23 points Saturday night to lift Duke, the team so many folks love to hate, to a 78-57 victory over West Virginia and set up a meeting against tiny Butler — a classic matchup of big vs. little, with the national title on the line. "I think they're one of the best teams in the country," Duke coach Mike Krzyezwski said of his upcoming opponent, which has won 25 straight. "I think a Cinderella would be more if somebody had eight or nine losses and pulled some upsets." KING WV No. 1 Duke 78 No. 2 West Virginia 57 Their trip, however, wasn't totally predictable or expected. Duke had gone six long years since its last appearance and hasn't been to the final since winning it all nine years ago — a veritable century by Tobacco Road standards. Now, this group of Blue Devils has a chance to give Coach K his fourth national championship. And in a tournament turned upside down, the Blue Devils (34-5) were the only No.1 seed to make it to the Final Four. "It's everything," senior center Brian Zoubek said. "This is the culmination of four years for me. To have a shot at the championship my senior year, after everything we've been through, is a dream come true." This was a wire-to-wire pullaway against the West Virginia team coached by alum Bob Huggins, who led the Mountaineers (31-7) on a 10-game winning streak that included the Big East tournament title and ended with a trip to the Final Four. It was an inspiring journey, the first for West Virginia in 51 years, back when Jerry West wore the old gold and blue. Huggins returned to West Virginia to bring an elusive title back home to a state that loves its flaeshship school like few others. "I've watched a lot of tape, I haven't seen them play that well." Huggins said. "And we didn't play very well. And, you know, that happens."

Opposing him will be Zack Greinke, who won the 2009 Cy Young Award as the best pitcher in the American League. Opening the season for Detroit will be right-hander Justin Verlander, who won 19 games last year and led the majors with 269 strikeouts. "I'm sure the national media will be focused on other games rather than the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals," said Trey Hillman, beginning his third year as KC's manager. "But I'm not sure you can come up with any better opening day matchup than Greinke vs. Verlander. It's going to be exciting." The Royals, 65-97 last year, will unveil a new-look lineup they hope will shore up a defense that led the AL last year in errors (117) and losses at home (48). The Tigers finished last year 86-77 and in a very foul mood, losing a three-game lead with four games remaining and slipping out of the playoffs. 900 Don's Auto proud to be a part of the tradition for 900 9 of the 2000 wins Don's Auto Center Since 1972 Frisbee Fun W Howard Ting/KANSAN Ryan Renolds, a senior from Lawrence, scores a point for the Jayhaw Zontals against Washburn University on Saturday's club Friise game on Shenk Field in West Campus.

TEXAS A&M BASEBALL REWIND KANSAS Junior right fielder Casey Lytle looks up for a fly ball in right field. Kansas fell to Texas A&M 6-4 Friday night at Hoglund Ballpark in game two of the three game series. BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Robby Price, and once again in the 11th after the Aggies took an 8-7 edge - on a ball of all things. The tendency of this Kansas team to mount comebacks and string together tough at-bats impressed Price. But after tying the game twice late in the game, Kansas had opportunities to get a walk-off hit and failed to do so. "I think the great thing for this group of guys is they really grind," Price said. "And they compete, and they don't give up." "We had some big-time hits, but we just needed another big hit to put them away", Waters said. And once the game reached the 2:15 'curfew' — a cutoff time which the teams had agreed upon because of A&M's travel arrangements — the Jayhawks didn't get another opportunity to walk-off with the victory. The teams shook hands on the field, the Aggies packed onto their buses, but the Jayhawks remained in their dugout on the first base side — all of them visibly disappointed. After the game, Robby Price said Kansas had nothing to be ashamed of after a series where it turned in three competitive performances against a top 25 team. But ultimately, his opening sentiments about the way the series ended were the most telling. "Ties definitely suck," he said. "There's no other way to say it.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, APRIL 5. 2010 / APARTMENT GUIDE / 3 + Home is where the tailgate is Living near stadium has perks and pitfalls for students BY ELLEN SHEFTEL esheftel@kansan.com Trying to find a house steps away from Memorial Stadium, north of campus, can be difficult. But two students who got that opportunity say it's nothing short of great. Mike Paradise, a senior from Overland Park, said one of the main reasons he chose the house near the stadium where he lives now is because of the football games. "It's basically a happenin' part of campus," Paradise said. "Since we are right across from the stadium, tailgates get pretty interesting and crazy." GRIDIRON CLUB Kelly Stewart, a senior from Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Paradise's roommate, said the fact that the house is across the stadium is more of a coincidence. "I really liked the house and there were girls in my sorority that lived in it the year before and loved it," Stewart said. "It's definitely a perk to live across from the stadium, but I did more for the house." Since Stewart and Paradise are so close to the stadium, sometimes they don't even have to go to the game to see it. When it comes to disadvantages of living so close to the stadium, Paradise had to rack his brain to think of any. "When we have tailgates, people like to wander from inside the game to our house," Stewart said. Jayhwk athletic events can be loud for students living near Memorial Stadium or Allen Fieldhouse. Students also have to deal with traffic during game days, but can sell their parking spots to other attendees. "I don't know if there are any disadvantages," he said. "I really don't think they are." he said Stewart found a few more than Paradise by noting sometimes things can get a little loud. Photo illustration by Deborah Fraser/KANSAN "Sometimes when the team has practice before the season on early Saturday and Sunday mornings you will wake up to a few whistle blows," she said. "Also, when the stadium lights are on all night, that can be kind of annoying." One nice part of living so close to the stadium is being able to sell the parking spaces. Paradise said his roommates mostly sell the spots to family and friends. "We didn't want random people back there and luckily some families said they'd pay $25 for a spot," he said. "I remember one guy paid us an up-front rate for the entire season." Stewart said. Stewart and Paradise said a football Saturday is always a good time. "We have a big tailgate with keys and mug all our friends," Stewart said. "We don't open it up for random people we don't know either." Stewart also said the roommates have had a DJ at their tailgate a few times and parents will make food. "People can watch the game from the porch or on the TV in our living room." she said. Paradise agreed that the tailgats were always the place to be on game days. "I think the Highlight of the season was the Nebraska game when we had 200 to 250 people in the house," he said. "I remember some friends and I walked outside and turned around to look at the house and it was pretty crazy." "I know that during that tailgate we had people inside the stadium" texting us saying they could hear our music," Stewart said. Fortunately for the roommates, they said they haven't had many incidents where there was a person at one of their tailgates who wasn't invited. "Occasionally we will get some random people who pass out on our couches and we just wake them up and tell them to leave." Paradise said. "For the most part we don't get a lot of random people wandering around." Stewart said.

"There is something very satisfying about preparing a meal or baking a dessert and Photo illustration by Jerry Wang/KANSAN "I wouldn't love cooking near as much if I wasn't sharing what I made with my friends" to cook.

Both Wong and Oliver use family recipes they received from their mothers, but Oliver said she also finds new recipes by searching KATIE OLIVER Leavenworth sophomore then being able to enjoy it," Oliver said. "I also find it very stress relieving." Many students living on their own for the first time, however, may find the task of finding quick and easy recipes to be a stress-inducing challenge. Wong, who did not start cooking until she came to the University, said she had to learn how to make the time the Internet. Rachel Ray's Web site, www.rachelray.com, offers inexpensive, quick recipes that the site gears directly towards people who have limited free time to cook. The price for ingredients is also a concern for Oliver and Wong, Oliver said she rationalized grocery shopping because it is always going to be cheaper than eating out, but she likes to splurge on foods like fresh salmon and produce that may be out of season. "I think the key is picking out the right stuff at the grocery store." Oliver said. "I always choose generic or off-brand when it's available, and that doesn't affect the quality of my food at all." To combat the costs of food, Wong said she sometimes plans her meals around what she already has in the kitchen of her apartment. She said she also looks for weekly grocery ads My first Apartment!

"My roommate laughs at how excited I get when I see them," Wong said. Wong's roommate, Coffeeville junior Isaac Chappell, sometimes shares the cooking with her. Wong said they try to find meals they both would like. "He doesn't cook as often as I do, but he's made some big meals like jambalaya, lasagna and more of the western style dishes, so that's a nice change from the oriental meals I make." Wong said. Oliver usually cooks both for herself and for her boyfriend who lives with her. Before they moved in together last summer, Oliver said she would always have a home-baked meal ready for him when he got back from class. She said that is not always the case, but she tries to keep him happy. "I wouldn't love cooking near as much if I wasn't sharing what I made with my friends." Oliver said.

Having a basic plan in your head is good, but for a budget to be most effective, it needs to be written down either on paper or on a computer so your expenses and leftover money can be seen clearly. The first step to planning a budget is determining how much money is coming in every month. This amount is the cap to any expenditures for that month. "I am living off of student loans and I only have $3000 a semester," says Lenexa Senior Lauren Anderson. "I know I have to pay for things like electricity and the Internet, so I can only spend so much extra." Next make a list of all bills and order them by their due dates. Once this is done, it is easy to see which bills must be paid that month and which bills can be put off until next. Also, decide if you want to put money into savings, which can be incredibly beneficial in an emergency. "The biggest mistake people make is they don't take into account things they don't know. You have to factor in the unexpected," says KU Economics Professor Brian Stahr. Finally, subtract the bills and any amount going into savings from your monthly income, and this leaves you with the funds left for necessities and entertainment. Necessities are the items you require to live from month to month. There are many ways to save money on things like food and clothing. When shopping for groceries, buy the generic products instead of the name brand, and buy in bulk rather than small, individual packages. Also, shop in stores that offer a lot of variety so you can compare prices and insure the best deal possible. Coupons can also be very useful in making the most out of your money. "Bargain shopping is really important," says Tucker Cox, an Overland Park junior. "I try to buy things on sale—my freezer is full of industrial-sized bags of food—and I don't have a car, so I save on insurance." Avoid eating out as much as possible, and when you do eat out, take advantage of any specials the restaurant is offering. For clothing, buy only what you need to get by and shop in places where you can get more for less. Buying from the sales rack is also a great way to conserve your cash. To save money on your bills, conserving energy is key. Turn off the lights, television, and computer and unplug any appliances when they are not in use. As the weather starts to get warmer, make use of ceiling fans or open windows in place of air conditioning. Walking, when possible, instead of driving can also reserve your gas money. The money left over can be spent on extras, such as entertainment, and there are ways you can make this last as well. Instead of going to the movies on the weekend, which can cost up to $20 including snacks, programs such as Netflix offer unlimited movie rental with no late fees for as little as $4.99 a month. If you have iTunes, you can rent or buy movies cheaper from them than at the store. Independent movie rentals, such as Liberty Hall, also have lower prices than chain rentals, such as Blockbuster. In general, shop wisely: don't buy anything on impulse. Wait at least 24 hours to decide if you really want it and will use it. If there's something you want but can't afford, save for it. Being money-savvy in every aspect of your 图 Photo illustration by Jerry Wang/KANSAN Using coupons is one way to save money when living on a budget. Other ways to save money include planning a budget, conserving energy and buying food in bulk. life is important to ensure that you are getting the most for the money you have.

Rob Farha is worried, so he flips open his cell and shoots a quick text. A few minutes later, he gets a reply from his tenant, who will stop by after class to drop off a check. Farha is a landlord in the Oread neighborhood. There he owns and rents seven properties, five of which are boarding houses. He also owns The Wheel, 507 W.14th, where he spends most of his time. It's his bar business, he said, that sets him apart from other landlords. Sometimes, if a tenant is late paying rent and doesn't want a late fee, Farha lets them drop it off to him at The Wheel instead of mailing it to his post office box. This helps him build a stronger relationship with his renters, he said. Other times, his accessibility can become a problem because he always seems to be available at the bar, he said. "I'm what you call a visible landlord," Farha said. "People see me in here all the time. Then whenever they need me, they know where to find me." "I'm what you call a visible landlord. People see me in here all the time." ROB FARHA Owner of The Wheel "When I start getting maintenance calls at 10 p.m., I get angry," he said. Besides being close with his tenants, Farha said his biggest concern is maintaining a good reputation among the community. It's this way, he said, that he's had success in his business. In November of 2009, Farha had already leased all of his properties for 2010-2011,a year in advance. He also had three calls from students and parents looking for housing in 2011-2012. Farha said he tries to build strong communication lines with parents and students. With each new move-in, he makes it a point to sit down with the tenants. "I give an hour-long speech over city noise ordinations, what to do if the garbage disposal breaks, and how to shut off an overflowing toilet," Farha said. He said 90 percent of the damage done to a place is from someone who doesn't live there, so it's important for tenants to know who their friends were. "The parents are always so glad that I take the time to talk to them,"he said. "Most students have never lived on their own before and don't know what to do in certain situations." In an average month, Farha spends 5 hours doing administrative work. This includes making sure rent checks are in, mortgages and bills are paid, and calling tenants who are late. The rest of his responsibilities are in maintenance. However, there are three times of the year when Farha is busiest. Before leasing, he spends hours on the phone having consultations with parents, who want to make sure their son or daughter's needs are accommodated. Then there is a two-month period of administrative work as Farha completes the leases. The busiest week, he said, is the beginning of August when former tenants move out and new tenants move in. "We have to make sure everything is cleaned and repainted and working properly," Farha said. "Often times, we're up all night. We want to have the nicest, most upkept houses not only for the good of the business, but for the neighborhood as well." Farha said he's aware of the social habits of some college students. Every Monday, he sends maintenance workers to his properties to make sure they're not littered with trash and beer bottles. "I was in college once," he said.

After leaving her apartment one night, she realized, to her horror, that she had left her straightening iron on. "I called the main office and asked if they could go turn it off, but they couldn't send anybody to do it because it was after hours," Turner, Lawrence's Crosswinds Apartments' marketing and leasing director, said. She was able to avoid any sort of catastrophe, but not all students are so fortunate. Living in apartment complexes comes at a higher cost than just paying a monthly rent; moving into a shared housing facility increases the risk of damage to personal belongings. One way students can avoid problems, however, is renter's insurance is an inexpensive method of preventing those damages. Kurt Goeser, a State Farm Insurance agent. said there are two main components to renters insurance: property, which covers personal belongings, and liability, which covers damages to other parties. Students are able to buy a plan for around $15 a month that will cover items such as electronics and clothing in case of home disasters. Goeser recommends buying a $20,000 coverage plan. "We don't take into account depreciation; we just replace old stuff with new stuff," Goeser said. "Many college students will assume that their stuff is not as valuable, but the policy is for replacement cost coverage. The $20,000 is for replacing things new." their personal goods. "People need to add up the stuff in their apartments," Turner said. "Just your bed and TV alone can add up to $1000." Overland Park freshman Viktoriya Tulchinskaya has decided to make that "Even though chances are nothing really is going to happen, it's still nice to have that safety net." But in order to know what needs to be replaced in case something happens, Goeser suggested that renters keep an inventory of VIKTORIYA TULCHINSKAYA Overland Park freshman has decided to make that investment. Tulchinskaya, a first-time renter, decided to look into renters insurance after the employees at Meadowbrook Apartments suggested it to her and her roommates. net." "It could save a lot of money in the long run," she said. "Even though chances are nothing really is going to happen, it's still nice to have that safety Investing in renters insurance isn't necessary for everyone, however. Those who are still covered by their parents' insurance often have a policy that extends to college renting. Yet, even though students may be covered automatically, Goeser still recommends investing in a Personal Articles Policy, which covers more damage than other plans. "It comes down to understanding your own situation. If it is necessary, it's inexpensive and important," said Geuser. Whether or not students choose to buy renters insurance, both Goeser and Turner said there are precautions everyone should take to avoid potential disasters. Make sure there is adequate lighting around the apartment, lock doors, don't flaunt expensive items and check the batteries in smoke detectors regularly. But while renters may have the power to prevent personal mistakes, it's important to keep others in mind. "I tell folks that a lot of times, people will say, 'Hey I'm careful,' Goeser said. "But this is a college town with multi-unit complexes. The reality is, it isn't just you."

KELLEN BOLT Pride Week coordinator Bolt said the aim of these signs was to let the viewers create their own ideas of what the event would be. "Then, when they see Queers and Allies doing normal activities like sleeping, reading or playing games, they'll think about the stereotypes that they might not have been conscious of," Bolt said. Live Queer Acts and the Kiss-In kicked off Pride Week, Queens and Allies' annual event celebrating the pride that comes with being a member of the LGBT community. Throughout the day, members passed out flyers and information about what it means to be gay. Pedestrians had the opportunity to receive a real or Hershey's kiss from the kissing booth, Queens and Allies' toned-down version of last year's Kiss-In.

Edited by Anna Archibald MEDIA Senate to vote on Kansan fee cuts BY ERIN BROWN ebrown@kansan.com The student body president's proposal to cut the campus media fee and eliminate funds allocated to The University Daily Kansan has generated some questions as to the legality of the issue. The proposed media fee cut will be debated and voted on in a full senate meeting Wednesday. Mason Heilman, student body president, said he proposed the $1.70 cut because he viewed the financial relationship between Student Senate and The Kansan as inappropriate. For example, Heilman said the fact that The Kansan's editorial page endorses a student senate coalition every year could influence student senators. "There is a lot of potential for undue influence both ways," he said in a March 10 Kansan article. The proposed $1.70 cut would eliminate the allocation of funds to The University Daily Kansan and would result in a loss of $83,200 for the student newspaper — or about 8 percent of The Kansan's $1.1 million budget. Mike Hiestand, an attorney with the Student Press Law Center, said government bodies, such as Student Senate, have control over the allocation of funds and budget cuts.

The big question is whether the latest encouraging signs will help embolden companies to hire at a faster pace and bring down the unemployment rate. Some economists and corporate executives say it could. And they say they no longer fear a double-dip recession, in which the end of government stimulus money would tip the economy back into contraction. Factories are producing more. Americans are willing to spend Factories are Americans are more. And the economy added 162,000 jobs last month,the most in nearly three years. "It's much better news than we would have thought a few months ago," said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets. from 53 in February. Any reading above 50 signals expansion. It was the strongest growth since ISM "It's much better news than we would have thought a few months ago." JENNIFER LEE Economist revised how it measured the service sector in January 2008. The service sector is critically important because it accounts for about 80 percent of U.S. jobs, excluding farm workers. It includes jobs in areas like health care, retail and financial services. Offering more optimism, the National Association of Realtors said the number of people who agreed to buy previously occupied homes rose 8.2 percent in February. The index is considered a signal of future sales activity. Home sales had been sluggish during the winter, partly because shoppers felt less rushed after lawmakers extended the deadline to qualify for a tax credit. The new deadline is April 30. Both reports suggest the broader economy is recovering, and employers are taking notice. Recruiters report more interest among their clients in hiring permanent, full-time workers. student government, are allowed control over non-content related matters." Hiestand said. "If it was just a matter of there not being enough money to go around and everybody was going to get a 10 percent across the board sort of cut, there really wouldn't be a lot you could do about that." MEDIA (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Hiestand said a cut in The Kansan's funding as a result of newspaper content, including endorsements of coalitions, would be a violation of the First Amendment. "The law is very clear," he said. "Power and authority stops when it does come to content." The Kansas and The New York Times is not an exact correlation. "The Kansan is not just a newspaper." Unlike The New York Times, The Kansan also provides a service for students and serves as ar "I think like all analogies there is an element of truth in it and also important differences that matter," he said. "In this situation we are talking about a newspaper and a government, however, The Kansan is not just a newspaper." Richard Levy, a professor of constitutional law, said the decision to simply not fund a newspaper doesn't really implicate the First Amendment. However, he said, if there is evidence that the funding cut is an effort to punish The Kansan for content, then that would potentially be a problem. RICHARD LEVY KU law professor Mark Johnson, co-chair of the Communications and Media Practice Group of the Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal law firm and a lecturer at the University; also said the funding cut would be a violation of the freedom of the press. "Any type of government role in the commercial activities of a newspaper's commercial efforts can have a chilling effect on editorial policy because the newspaper would be concerned about how its editorial policy would affect the government," he said. A chilling effect is when speech is suppressed by fear of penalization and may prompt self-censorship, therefore inhibiting free speech. Heilman said the financial relationship between The Kansan and Student Senate would be similar to a scenario in which the United States Congress would use taxpayer dollars to fund The New York Times, which illustrates a conflict of interest. Levy said the analogy between instructional tool in the journalism department, Levy said. He said the U.S. government does fund the Public Broadcasting Service and that PBS is not prohibited from broadcasting politically oriented material, but is prohibited from endorsing candidates. Hiestand said he understood the rationale between The New York Times analogy, but said college newspapers have already attempted to eliminate this conflict of interest. In the 1970s many schools incorporated student media boards to try to distance student government from student media fund allocations, he said. For example, the money from the campus media fee goes through Student Senate, then to the campus media board. The campus media board then directly allocates the funds to various campus media, including The Kansas. Student fees are $423.35 per semester. The campus media fee is $4 of the total. "I understand where he is coming from to some degree," Hiestand said. "But the First Amendment is going to limit the ability of government officials to dictate what is published." Heilman said he was uncomfortable commenting on the legality of the proposal and said at this point he didn't see an issue concerning a violation of the freedom of the press.

Rounding out the top five were "How to Train Your Dragon," Miley Cyrus" "The Last Song" and "Alice in Wonderland." DAN FELLMAN Warner Bros, executive Not only did "Clash of the Titans" have to overcome outside distractions fighting for the attention of its heavily male audience — including the release of Apple's newest gadget, college basketball's playoffs as well as Easter Sunday, it also was battling for 3-D screen space with "Alice in Wonderland" and "How to Train Your Dragon." "If there was a battle out there, victory is ours," said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros.' president of domestic distribution. The movie, which was co-produced and co-financed by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, cost about $122 million to make. That figure does not include the marketing expenses, but with a strong start in the U.S. and another $44.2 million from 15 markets abroad, "Clash of the Titans" looks poised to take on all rivals for a few more weeks. The extra money from 3-D ticket sales was key. According to Fellman, about 52 percent of the box office take was from 3-D sales — ticket prices for 3-D movies can run as much as $5 more than regular 2-D movies. Warner Bros. did not initially plan on releasing "Clash of the Titans" as a 3-D movie and the decision to and the decision to do so clearly helped the studio get a much bigger payday. The projections for "Clash of the Titans" were that it would make between $60 million and $70 million in the United States. The box office drop was about 18 percent from Friday to Saturday. Any drop greater than 20 percent from opening day to day two is considered to be a sign of the dreaded bad buzz. CinemaScore, a market research firm that grades movies based on audience research, gave "Clash of the Titans" a B, according to Fellman, who said the studio was actually anticipating a bigger Saturday drop — in the neighborhood of 25 percent. "The audience reaction has been terrific," he said. The success for "Clash of the Titans" will likely lead to even more of a fury to release movies in 3-D. "Alice in Wonderland" continues to perform and "How to Train Your Dragon" had a very strong week two after an opening weekend that some considered to be disappointing. For DreamWorks Animation, the $29.2 million that its "How to Train Your Dragon" took in came as welcome news. The 3-D animated movie made almost $44 million in its opening weekend, but that was considering disappointing and it even caused a slide in the animation house's stock. But, the 33 percent drop in week two is a good sign that the family film will overcome its so-called soft opening, no doubt thanks in part to the buzz from Easter break audiences. "We knew that really strong reviews and word of mouth would propel the movie," said Anne Globe, head of worldwide marketing for DreamWorks Animation. Even more impressive was that the box office actually went up 1 percent from Friday to Saturday. Abroad, the movie took in $38.5 million; it has made almost $100 million overseas. "We knew that really strong reviews and word of mouth would propel the movie." Miley Cyrus showed she may ANNE GLOBE Dreamworks executive have life beyond Hannah Montana and the occasional dance with a pole. Disney's "The Last Song," the latest movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, starring Cyrus and Greg Kninear, took in $16.2 million over the weekend and has made $25.6 million in the five days since it opened. "Miley competed in the land of giants and did well," said Chuck Viane, president of distribution for Walt Disney Studios.

He devotes significant time to climate-change causes and is a published author with two books under his belt — one about concert-going etiquette and another about his family, which he wrote in German.

EDITORIAL BOARD City should address cyclists' safety To improve bicyclists' safety in Lawrence, the City Commission needs to follow through with proposals made by members of the Lawrence Bicycle Advisory Committee. The League of American Bicyclists designated Lawrence a "Bicycle-Friendly Community" in 2000 and awarded the city a bronze level in 2004. Despite Lawrence's "bicycle-friendly" status, there still remains room for improvement We support the committee's commitment to bicyclists' safety and its long-term development plans. These plans include the construction of a bridge over lowa Street near Centennial Park, a hazardous location for cyclists traveling to and from the west side of Lawrence. Although some bicyclists said they have grown accustomed to minor collisions with other vehicles, as mentioned in a March 26 story published in The University Daily Kansan, the city should do more to ensure bicyclists' safety. Members of the committee have heard many complaints from local bicyclists regarding the lack of bike lanes on busy streets and the incomplete bike lanes on streets such as 9th Street. Adding bike lanes to busy streets and extending already-existing bike lanes would help curb the number of accidents. The 19 shared-use paths in high-traffic areas are a start, but more are needed to improve safety. The committee made a sound decision to first educate members of the City Commission on the existing dangers of bicyclists. The City Commission needs to award the committee the grant it applied for that would fund a one-day bike safety workshop for City Commission members. Until more bike lanes can be installed, drivers need to acknowledge bicyclists' shared right to the road. According to the Kansas Bicycling Statutes, "Every person riding a bicycle upon a roadway shall be granted upon all of the rights and shall be Regardless of the committee's short and long term objectives, Lawrence residents remain key players in protecting the safety of both bicyclists and drivers alike. In return, bicyclists should try their best to avoid heavy traffic areas and follow simple safety guidelines, such as not riding against traffic, not riding alongside a car's blind spot and passing vehicles on the left. Though the city needs to add additional bike lanes, budget shortfalls may impede the resources to make immediate changes. Establishing a sense of mutual respect between drivers and bicyclists is the easiest and most effective way of ensuring safety on Lawrence streets. It also helps maintain the city's reputation as a nationally recognized "bicycle-friendly community." — Michael Holtz for The Kansan Editorial Board EDITORIAL CARTOON High-traffic areas cyclists should avoid: Downtown Massachusetts Street - Kentucky Street, between 9th and 19th streets iowa Street 6th and Wakarusa intersection Lawrence Bicycle Advisory Committee PROPERTY OF 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 X 19 20 21 22 MYRIAD GENETICS CORP. NICHOLAS SAMBALUK SCIENTIFIC HEALTH Why can't we all get along? I am an atheist. Unfortunately, this label comes with a high level of baggage. Atheists are often portrayed as cold-hearted cynics, desperate to beate those of faith. Similarly, believers are equally ridiculed in the non-believer community as hapless dupes. But perhaps the true source of this conflict lies in the greater never-ending battle between the powerful institutions of science and religion. As eager as both sides are in continuing this pointless shouting match, the only way for true progress to be made on a global scale is if both science and religion learn to cooperate. Science and religion have had a long and ruinous relationship throughout history. When Galileo dared to show the natural world did not conform to the rules of the church, he was met with derision and anger. Still today, religious activists continue to fight for the inclusion of creationist literature in public school lesson plans, despite the mountain of evidence behind the biological theory of evolution. In an age of the exponential growth of information and research religion and science still fight for dominance. Sai the Science Guy BY SALEOLMSBEE But the religious are not the only ones on the offensive. Scientists and atheists have also been quick to spar with religious BY SAI FOLMSBEE Mike Chen authority. Many atheist authors, such as Hitchens and Dawkins, dismiss religion as an antiquated adherence to the allure of the supernatural. However, this attitude overlooks the more serious issue of religion's ubiquity and undeniable importance on a sheer global scale. LFOLMSBEE Not all scientists are atheists and not all atheists trust science. There are religious men and women working in laboratories, fulfilling their curiosity of the natural world through the lens of faith. Similarly, there are atheists and agnostics who reject the notion of gods, instead following beliefs of magic or spirits against scientific establishment. The first step to understanding the conflict between science and religion is coming to terms with the diversity within both. Regardless of whether one is a person of faith or of doubt, a churchgoer or a secularist, the tremendous potential of both religion and science cannot be ignored. Science has given the world novel medicines, fantastic technologies and an investigation in how our minds, bodies, cells and atoms function. Religion has provided individuals with hope, a sense of purpose and the infrastructure by which to live fulfilled lives. Instead of the continual bickering between atheists and believers both groups need to reallocate their intellectual resources to work toward solving the problems of the world. Climate change, poverty, hunger, environmental destruction, political unrest and are all issues that get pushed aside in the battle between these groups. Science and religion, in the words of scientist Stephen Jay Gould, are "nonoverlapping magisterial." However, only through a commitment to cooperation and ending senseless bickering can an increasingly inpatient world expect to witness any change. Religion and science are unquestionably two of the most dominant methods to understanding the world around us. They have developed into powerful institutions, inciting fervor within their followers in their efforts to improve the world. They give us hope that progress can be made.

One by one, our photos of friends and family go public, or at least partially so, as some people allow thousands of online "friends" to view their website profiles This mass comfort with disclosing information such as relationship status, sexual orientation and other various personal interests has become a characteristic unique to our generation. Social networking behemoths such as Facebook and Twitter have transformed our abilities and willingness to share information. The line between public and private is becoming increasingly blurred — but at what price? Ever notice something rather eerie about the ads that appear on these sites? The level of their relevance is nearly intrusive. Facebook advertisers are able to scan the plethora of information voluntarily provided by potential buyers and then use the information to aim ads at very precise groups. As if that doesn't seem intrusive enough, the reality is that this is just the beginning. Companies are becoming increasingly innovative in finding ways to keep track of us. Take for example Foursquare, a new addition to the rising "location-based" market. This site allows users to "check-in" to locations via smart phones. Similar to Facebook, Foursquare it is very attractive to companies looking for super-local advertisements that find potential customers as they enter a business. Although the company is in its infancy compared with Facebook and Twitter, its user-base has already surpassed half a million. The new company appears to be some strange concoction of World of Warcraft and The Sims, except the characters are actual people. Foursquare awards the people who publicize their presence the most frequently in a coffee shop or restaurant by labeling them "mayors" of that specific locality. These individuals may Down and Out A. C. BY BRADEN KATZ As technology connects us at levels never before possible, people are becoming more and more accustomed to giving away personal information. Privacy, which is among the most important of our individual rights, is being enthusiastically given away for a free coffee. Hopefully we will be able to recognize when it has gone too far. As more and more people own smart phones with global positioning capabilities the prospect of location-based services becoming another Twitter-like trend is quite plausible. One telltale sign of the potential success of these tracking devices is Google's newly found interest in the market. The search engine giant recently created Google Latitude, which allows friends to track each other's movements and publicize live locations with their phones. Katz is a junior from Overland Park in creative writing and political science. According to National Public Radio's website, the emphasis on keeping track of personal information is not limited to social networking. Similar to a strange salesman sitting in our living rooms, cable boxes are expected to analyze our individual household information like viewing habits, location and ages. Similarly to Foursquare's "mayors" who disclose their location, customers are expected disclose private information in exchange for coupons on their television. GUEST EDITORIAL actually receive coupons for free coffees through their phones as companies keep tabs on their locations. FDA makes good move to restrict tanning bed use More than ever, skin cancer is being diagnosed in young people. Just as there are age limits for legally purchasing cigarettes and consuming alcohol, there should be an age limit for tanning beds. With the weather warming and swimmuit season approaching, students are lining up at tanning beds to achieve a darker shade of skin. But not everyone who tans understands the associated health risks, which is why the Food and Drug Administration should be applauded for suggesting that tanning regulations be tightened. New regulations could also include visible warning labels The FDA advising panel recently met to discuss banning people under 18 from using tanning beds. This would be a crucial step in avoiding diseases such as cancer. Unlike sunlight, the rays emitted from tanning beds are aimed directly on the skin, causing individuals to develop skin cancer at a much faster rate. indicating the risks of tanning. To make these warnings as effective as possible, the FDA is further recommending that the current low-risk classification of tanning beds be changed to Class II. By adjusting this classification, the FDA would be able to minimize the amount of radiation that is generated through the machines. The American Cancer Society reports that melanoma is the most fatal type of skin cancer, with 11,590 lives claimed each year. The World Health Organization recently listed the risks of tanning beds alongside those of arsenic and cigarettes. Tanning isn't all or nothing. Options such as spray tanning and lotions are safe, inexpensive ways to obtain a glow. A new law to provide teens with awareness of health risks as well as prevent them from getting skin cancer at an earlier age is absolutely necessary, and hopefully will influence other hazardous products and activities to follow suit.

The surfer-themed store offers indoor tanning, which will be taxed an additional 10 percent starting July 1 as a provision of the federal health care bill. Chance Dibben/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Tax worries salon owners A 10 percent tax on tanning will take effect July 1 nationwide BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com With summer quickly approaching, some college students are hitting the tanning beds for that bronze, summer glow. But starting July 1, that glow will come at an added cost. A 10 percent tax on tanning was placed in the federal health care bill instead of the originally proposed 5 percent "botax," which would have taxed cosmetic surgeries. The Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation estimated the tax to bring in $2.7 billion dollars over the next decade — an amount local salon owners say is way too high. Salon owners don't expect the law to drastically damage their businesses, but some view it as a discriminatory policy. Pam Scott, owner of Endless Summer Tan, 2223 Louisiana St., said the training industry will not bring in anywhere near that amount of money. tax won't do much damage to her pocketbook because she doesn't tan often. She'll still pay to go tanning when she feels it's necessary "I will probably buy another package come next January or February when I am too white," she said. "But I consider the tax like any other tax on products that are unhealthy for society, like cigarettes." The tan tax has been com- "It doesn't make sense to me," Scott said. "The industry will "I consider the tax like any other tax on products that are unhealthy for society, like cigarettes." out how to do this on both the business side and the government side" Scott and Lawrence said that they agreed the majority of their clients are young, white women. pared to other sin taxes because of some harmful effects the ultraviolet rays can on the body. Indoor tanning has been linked to skin cancer such as melanoma, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation's website. KATIE BEATTY Senior from Overland Park Lawrence said the tax was too high and targeted too narrow a group "The industry will just not make that much revenue like the government says they're going to." "10 percent is a ludicrous amount of money," Lawrence said. "It tar- just not make that much revenue like the government says they're going to" PAM SCOTT Owner of Endless Summer Tan Now that President Barack Obama has signed the health care bill into law, the tan tax will affect all tanning salons nationwide. Katie Beatty, a senior from Overland Park who tans at Sun Resorts, 1410 Kasold Dr., said the The passing of the tax has surprised Lawrence salon owners. Kristi Lawrence, owner of Mango Tan, 4000 W. Sixth St., said she didn't know how the tax would even work. It's unclear as of now where the money will be sent and what responsibilities owners will have in collecting and delivering the 10 percent tax to the government. "I am surprised because it's such a huge number," Lawrence said. "It would make more sense to give us more time to figure gets white women aged 18 to 35 and says, 'hey, these people need to pay for health care.' It's discriminatory,' Lawrence said. Lawrence and Scott both contacted their lobbyists at the Indoor Tanning Association, who have kept them informed with the updates on the tax passing. Lawrence hung flyers in her salon advertising the anti-tan tax website, www.stophetantax.com, to make her customers aware of the tax and to encourage them to voice their opinions about the matter by contacting their representatives. Scott and Lawrence are preparing to make changes in order to keep their businesses afloat. Scott said he is telling customers to purchase their tanning packages now before they have to pay the tax on it. Though they expect customers to still pay the tax, owners are waiting to see how consumers will react in July. Edited by Michael Holtz CAMPUS Into the Streets for service Community service week highlighted by Nobel Prize winner "The speaker is not the focus, but we wanted to get someone that would get people really excited," said Greg Loving, a sophomore from McPherson and co-coordinator of Into the Streets Week. "There are not many Nobel laureates that have come to KU." BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com He said one of the specifications the co-coordinators had for a keynote speaker was an individual who would help "equip students with tools they need to become self-sufficient leaders at KU". Collin Johnson/KANSAN The Center for Community Outreach began its weeklong event in an effort to raise student awareness about community service opportunities on campus and in Lawrence. Williams, with her background and history of humanitarian work, met that specification to a tee, he said. About 40 students gathered in front of the Kansas Union Monday to plant a new bed of flowers and earn community service hours. It was the first of many events that will make up this year's Into The Streets Week, which features various community service activities and a speech from former Nobel Prize winner Jody Williams. This year, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little made a service pledge of 100,000 community service hours to be completed by the University community by the end of this semester. Not only will Williams speak on Wednesday night, but she will also be attending dinners and receptions with individual groups, such Erin Atwood, a sophomore from Topeka and co-coordinator of Into The Streets Week, said she thought people didn't volunteer on campus because they weren't aware of the opportunities. "This is a big campaign and it's really public so students realize there are a ton of organizations they can get involved with." Atwood said. Atwood said students could log their service hours that count toward the chancellor's initiative on www.kuworks.ku.edu/service. So far, the website has logged 74,386 community service hours from students, faculty and alumni. This year's events will lead up to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's inauguration Sunday, and also feature keynote speaker and former Nobel Peace Prize winner Jody Williams on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union. Williams won the award in 1997 for her humanitarian work and her involvement with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. Risa Myuki, a freshman from Osaka, Japan, decorates a pot with a painted heart outside of the Kansas Union Monday afternoon. Myuki was participating in In to the Streets Week, which is put on by the Center for Community Outreach to help encourage service work and equip students with the tools they need to become campus leaders in this field.

"It brings out a lot of issues people aren't aware of and gets them involved with humanitarian work they didn't know existed or they had a means to contribute to the cause," said Sida Niu, a sophomore from Overland Park and co-coordinator of Into the Streets Week, of Williams' speech. Throughout the week, volunteer groups and organizations will host multiple events for students to participate in, such as Lifeline, a program in which high school students shadow KU students for a day. David Wilcox, a senior from Manhattan and co-director of CCO, said he thought the week of community service events was a good way for students to not only learn more about themselves,but to make a difference in someone else's life as well. "Community strength on campus and in Lawrence creates a sense of togetherness, and I think that helps a community move forth and progress." Wilcox said. "Lawrence definitely does feed off it." Loving said he was looking forward to participating in the events this week, but, as a co-coordinator, he said he was more excited to help get other people involved. "Ive done a lot with Habitat For Humainity, but that's just me doing one thing and with this you can reach a lot of different people and multiply your effect." Loving said.

BASEBALL | 2B TWO'S COMPANY, SIX IS A CROWD Battle for quarterback is on PAGE 1B Six players vie for coveted spot after Reesing's departure 2 BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com For the first time this spring, Kansas' quarterbacks talked with members of the media. And because of that nearly all of Monday's questions revolved around the battle taking place behind center. Fittingly, then, former quarterback Todd Reesing showed up in street clothes to watch practice for the first time since his playing days ended last year. Now the task of replacing Reesing falls on a handful of unproven players entrenched in a public quarterback battle this spring. Kale Pick, Jordan Webb, Christian Matthews, Quinn Mecham, Jacob Morse and Conner Teahan will fight for Reesing's snaps. In his three seasons as a starter, Reesing shattered nearly every passing record in school history. He led the layhawks to the Orange Bowl in 2007 and, in delivering highlights and victories, he made Kansas football relevant. "You just have to give these guys some time to start making those comparisons," offensive coordinator Chuck Long said. "First thing first, we'll try to work through it and get a starting quarterback. If they can get to the Todd Reed plateau, that will be a great plateau to get to" One thing is certainly clear this spring: Kansas football is changing. The Layhawks are implementing new coaching ideas, new offensive philosophies and a new attitude. But for the common fan, few changes will be as drastic as the quarterback position. Reasing started every game after winning the job before his sophomore season, and he generally performed at an above-average level. Now those days are gone. "It's competitive but we also have fun with it," said Pick, who served as Reesing's backup last season. "We don't take it off the field. It's not that we're competitive and don't talk to each other." SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 3B COMMENTARY Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb warms up before practice Monday afternoon. Webb redshirted last season and is now fighting for the starting position at quarterback. Tied game had forced ending, just to catch a plane BY MAX VOSBURGH See if you can spot anything wrong with the following sentence: The record for the Kansas baseball team is 18-10-1. That's written correctly. For the rest of the year there will be a "1" lingering at the end of the Jayhawks' record. Kansas tied Texas A&M on Saturday when the game ended in the 11th inning with the score 8-8. The two teams had agreed before the afternoon game that they wouldn't start an inning after 2:15 p.m., because the Aggies had a flight to catch in Kansas City. During the game, both teams fought hard, and the lead changed multiple times. But when 2:15 came around, play came to an abrupt end, with the score still tied. It really is disappointing that something like this can happen in college baseball. This situation would never happen in professional baseball, which is what a lot of these college athletes are training for. What baffles me is that there aren't more precautions taken during travel days to prevent situations like this from happening. Start the game earlier. Drive instead of fly. Schedule later flights. Does either team want to quit a game that means so much to their chances of winning a Big 12 Championship? No they don't. "It ites like a loss, to be honest. It stinks and it's obviously not the way we wanted to finish, but it is what it is," junior outfieldier Jimmy Waters said after the game. Later in the season, when the layhawks are competing against good teams for a spot in the playoffs, close games will be inevitable. The layhawks had what could have been a valuable experience ripped out from underneath them. After Texas A&M went ahead in the top of the 11th inning, the layhawks tied it again in the bottom of the inning. The game went back and forth from the beginning. I can't think of a better way to boost confidence or pick up momentum than to win a close game at home in extra innings against a ranked baseball team Unfortunately the Jayhawks never got that chance. Edited by Katie Blankenau BASEBALL Developmental games give younger players experience KANS Freshman pitcher Thomas Taylor rifles the ball during the game against Arkansas-Little Rock on March 30. Kansas has a 4-2 record in games in which Taylor started. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Practice helps underclassmen become valuable assets to the team BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter.com/bm_dub Each season, Division I programs are allowed to play four 'developmental' games without affecting their RPI. Essentially, they bring in lesser opponents in order to give their younger players extended playing time. Kansas (18-10-1, 3-2-1) will play its fourth and final developmental game of the season when it hosts NATA opponent Missouri Valley College tonight at 6 p.m. The Jayhawks have dominated the opposition in each of their previous three developmental games: winning 10-0 against St. Mary College on March 9, 16-0 against Tabor on March 10 and 16-0 against Baker on March 24. Because of the lopsided nature of these contests, tonight's game carries a different meaning, depending on who you ask. "I want to see some of my backup guys get to play, and play well," Price said. For coach Ritch Price, it's an opportunity for his younger players to see extended time in the field and get a maximum number of at-bats. Price said reserves, such as sophomore first baseman Zac Elgie, freshman catcher Alex DeLeon and freshman shortstop Kevin Kuntz, will all get starts at their respective positions. "I want to see some of my back-up guys get to play, and play well." Red shirt fresh man Thomas Taylor RITCH PRICE Coach will get another start on the mound for the layhawks, where Price said he hopes the youngster will continue to improve. Ideally, Price's goal is to have each player be a valuable asset for Kansas to bring off the bench. The worst case scenario would be having a capable replacement in case of an injury to a starter. Elgie, DeLeon and Kuntz won limited action during the series against Texas A&M, albeit in late-game replacement roles. So for those three players, regardless of the rea- less of the reason behind the playing time, there is a similar optimism for an opportunity to start. Eligie, in particular, has made the most of the developmental games. In Kansas' last developmental outing, a 16-0 victory over Baker, Elgie went 3-for-3, including his SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 6B 2B SPORTS / TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer."

Associated Press MORNING BREW Nelson is a winner,not a champ All-time records in sports are supposedly prestigious things, garnered through years of relentless toil and thus aptly celebrated when achieved. The image of a solo figure soaking in the adulation of thousands, face awash with tears, comes to mind. In this image, the individual delivers a moving speech, thanking everyone who helped them along the way and imparting pithy wisdom on listeners. This is the image of greatness, of glory, of record setting heros. This is not the image of Don Nelson, now tied with Lenny Wilkins as the winningest coach in NBA history. 1,332 wins. That many times, Nelson has coached a team to victory. But look at him, and you might guess he hasn't slept in that many nights, or that his only record is polishing off 1,332 Bud Lights (his post-game beverage of choice, until the NBA deemed the consumption of beer at a press conference unfit). And if you're expecting an crudite and illuminating speech, look elsewhere. Following his Warriors' triumph over the Toronto Raptors, Nelson stated that the game had "everything you'd want, from good to bad to playing great to wetting the bed, and we did about all of it." Is it any wonder that a man who puts "wetting the bed" and "everything you'd want" in the same sentence lacks the respect of a Phil Jackson or Pat Riley? Oh BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com sure, he doesn't have Riley's Patrick Bateman hair and icy charm, nor does he possess Jackson's noted cool. Heck, even Stan Van Gundy — porn-stache and all — appears more refined than the blustery Nelson. The lack of reverence for Nellie may well be hindered by something more than aesthetic details, however. To be an all-time great anything, conventional wisdom dictates you must win the whole thing. As a coach, Nelson has never done that (he did win five championships as a player, however). And so no matter how many wins he compiles or innovations he imparts on the game, Nelson's legacy will be that of a winner, sure; but not of a champion. Regardless, Nelson's career should be celebrated. His record-tying win, or at least Nelson's commentary on it, demonstrates why. His teams were frequently good, and almost as often, bad. Sometimes they played great, and THE MORNING BREW sometimes they did wet the bed. But through all of it, they usually did give you everything you wanted in an NBA game.

Kansas' senior second baseman was named the Big 12 Player of the Week for the second straight week. With the weekly honor, Price becomes the first player in Kansas baseball history to be named the conference's top player in consecutive weeks Price hit .550 in the Jayhawks five games last week, leading them to a 3-1-1 record. He's currently hit safely in 13 straight games, including multiple hit efforts in four of the last five. For the week, Price racked up five doubles, one home run, eight runs scored and eight RBI. Many of Price's hits have also come in clutch fashion, including his game-tying single with two outs in the ninth on Saturday against No. 22 Texas A&M. MLB Bullpen dooms Royals in opener ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Johnny Damon and Brandon Inge drove in two runs apiece in a six-run seventh inning against Kansas City's shaky bullpen and the Detroit Tigers rallied for an 8-4 win Monday. Earlier on the wind-swept opening day, Yumieshe Betancourt's two-run home run and Billy Butler's bases-loaded single staked Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke to a 4-2 lead over Justin Verlander in a duel between two of baseball's premier starters. But when Greinke departed after allowing six hits and one earned run through six innings, the Tigers sent 10 men to the plate in the seventh and punished three relievers for six hits and six runs. Ben Ward Robinson Tejeda (0-1) got just one out and allowed three runs. Joel Zumaya (1-0) went one inning and a batter, throwing 12 pitches. Verlander, the major league leader with 269 strikeouts last season, gave up six hits and four runs in five innings. He walked one and struck out six in his first start since agreeing to a $80 million, five-year contract with the Tigers. In six innings, Greinke allowed six hits and two runs with four strikeouts and a walk. Only one run was earned, though. Greinke did not give up an earned run until his fifth start last year, when he allowed none or one in 18 of 33 starts.

ATLANTA— Jason Heyward hit like The Hammer in his Atlanta Braves debut. With fans in the sellout crowd chanting "Let's go, Heyward," the rookie's first innning homer into the Braves' bullpen behind the right-field wall gave Atlanta a 6-3 lead. Heyward, who had a run-scoring single in the eighth, was Yunel Escobar drove in a career-high five runs as Zambrano gave up eight runs in 1 1-3 innings, matching the shortest of 239 career starts. 2-for-5 with four RBIs. Marlon Byrd, playing his first game with the Cubs, hit a three-run homer in the first inning and Aramis Ramirez added a two-run drive in the third. Derek Lowe (1-0) gave up five runs, five hits and three walks in six innings before a sellout crowd of 53,081, a record for a day game in Atlanta and was the fourth-largest overall in Atlanta history. Brian McCann hit a homer in the second, when the Braves knocked out Zambrano (0-1). The 20-year-old Heyward became the sixth Braves player to homer in his debut, the fourth to do so in his first plate appearance. Jordan Schafer connected in his initial at-bat last season. Atlanta sent 10 batters to the plate in both the first and seventh innings. The homer on a 2-0 count came on the first swing of Heyward's major league career. He answered cheers from the fans by tipping his cap at the edge of the dugout. In the first, Chipper Jones drove in Melky Cabrera when his shallow ball fall between shortstop Ryan Theriot and Byrd in center for a single. Escobar added a two-run single before Heward's line-drive homer. Making his sixth straight opening day start for the Cubs, Zambrano gave up six hits and two walks with one strikeout. Braves center fielder Nate McLouth made running catches of drives hit by Ramirez in the first and Derrek Lee in the fifth. McLouth was credited with a diving catch of a ball hit by Byrd in the left-center gap in the sixth, though a replay showed the ball popped out of McLouth's glove when he hit the ground.

Buehrle, starting his club-record eight opener, looked more like the fourth-time All-Star he is than the guy who won just twice after his perfect game against Tampa Bay on July 23. Alex Rios added a solo homer off Tony Sipp in the eighth and ended the game with a diving catch on Travis Hafner's line drive to center. He retired the last 10 batters he faced, struck out three and walked one, and drew loud cheers for a spectacular play in the fifth when a hard one-hopper by Lou Marson ricocheted off his left foot into foul territory along the first-base side. Buehrle raced over and — in one motion — shoveled the ball between his legs with his glove to Konkero to retire the runner, one of several highlights for a team that expects to contend in the AL Central after going 79-83. J. J. Putz pitched the eighth and Matt Thornton retired the side in the ninth. For Cleveland, the start of the new season looked awfully like the last one — a 65-win disaster that led to Eric Wedge's firing. Westbrook — back from reconstructive elbow surgery — tied a club record with four wild pitches, hit Carlos Quentin twice, walked four and allowed five runs and five hits in his first start since May 28.2008. 。 KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 2010 / SPORTS 3B FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Before the start of Monday's practice, coach Turner Gill said that Webb, Pick and Matthews were getting the most repetitions at quarterback. He also singled out Webb as a player who had impressive practices last week. "He's been consistent. He has a great command in the huddle and I like his demeanor." Gill said. "He's played smart, thrown the ball fairly well and has a good grasp of what we're doing right now." Webb arrived from high school in Union, Mo., eager to join Kansas' spread-heavy offense. After all, Webb played in a spread throughout high school. But before this season Gill and his staff implemented a more balanced offense - one that will have quarterbacks line up under center roughly half the time. And while Gill mentioned Webb, Pick and Matthews as showing the most promise early under the new system, he was quick to add a disclaimer. "That doesn't mean I can't talk to you next week," Gill said. "It might change around from that standpoint." Gill and Long, who also serves as Kansas' quarterbacks coach, both said they were as interested in a quarterbacks demeanor and leadership ability as they were in his onfield abilities. During practices. Long places himself close to Kansas' huddles in order to evaluate his quarterback's "hudle presence." Still, Long admitted that a quarterback is even tually judged on his ability to move the ball. That picture is one that must be formulated from moments in practices, not games. Pick is the only quarterback on the roster with game experience, playing sparingly last season. "If they can get to the Todd Reesing plateau, that will be a great plateau to get to." "That's what it ultimately comes down to: Who moves the chains in the critical situations like third downs," Long said. "That's how you do it. When you grade quarterbacks, it's not just throwing the CHUCK LONG Offensive coordinator ball. You look at the overall picture." This is going to Webb and Matthews shirtdirted last year, Mecham played at Snow Junior College and Teahun hasn't played organized football in three years. be a rice battle brewing these quarter-backs," Long said. "And I think it's going to be an interesting battle to see how it plays out." That means the battle for quarterback is equally wide open.

LOUIS — Erik Johnson scored on a power play with 1:01 to go in overtime, keeping the St. Louis Blues' slim playoff hopes alive with a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night. Andy McDonald had a goal and an assist and Chris Mason made 27 saves for St. Louis, which has won a season-high five straight at home. The Blues are four points behind Colorado with three games to go for the final Western Conference playoff spot and need to finish ahead of the Avalanche, who swept them in the regular season. Colorado can knock out the Blues on Tuesday night with a victory at Vancouver. Derick Brassard scored an early power-play goal and Mathieu Garon made 32 saves for the Blue Jackets, who have lost three straight. A holding call on Marc Methot with 1:43 to go in overtime opened the door for the Blues, and Johnson scored his 10th of the season on a McDonald scored his 23rd goal and second in three games on with the late-season surge raising their record to 17-18-5. slap shot from the point. The Blues have been the NHL's worst at home most of the season with the late-season surge raising their record... a break, beating Garon off a feed from David Perron to tie it midway through the second period. T the Blues hardly appeared in desperation mode in the first period, going nearly 13 minutes before finally registering a shot. Columbus outshot St. Louis 11-4 and took the lead on Brassard's power-play deflection. PGA Woods expresses many regrets ASSOCIATED PRESS AUGUSTA, Ga. — The most compelling and humanizing moment of Tiger Woods' 34-minute mea culpa? It came when Woods acknowledged having missed the first birthday of his son, Charlie. That occurred Feb. 8, toward the end of his 45-day stay in rehab. "That hurts a lot," Woods said. "I vowed never to miss another one. It was something I probably will regret for the rest of my life." Woods spoke of his many regrets Monday during his first session with a full media contingent, calling his behavior "pretty brutal" and admonishing himself for causing "so much harm to the people I love and care about the most on the planet." Woods opened by making two points. He said he was "blown away" by the kindness of the Masters galleries Monday morning and apologized to his fellow PGA Tour pros for their being "bombarded" with questions about the indiscretions in his personal life. "Hopetully after today the players can be left alone to focus on the Masters," he said. Woods strongly denied any wrongdoing regarding treatment he received from Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, who has been charged with supplying HGH to elite athletes. "He never gave me HGH or any PEDS," Woods said, referring to performance-enhancing drugs. "I have never taken any illegal drug, ever." Woods said he chose Galea because Galea had worked with numerous professional athletes and that he needed treatment following reconstructive knee surgery in June 2008. Woods also disclosed that he tore his right Achilles' tendon six months after his left ACL was repaired. The dual injuries led Woods to engage in a process called PRP _ platelet-enriched plasma treatments. The procedure, which involves taking blood from a patient and "spinning" it to produce platelets that accelerate tissue repair, speeds the healing process It is increasingly popular among athletes and legal on the PGA Tour. Woods was less expansive regarding the other medical drama in his life, the SUV accident that landed him in a hospital in the early-morning hours after Thanksgiving. Just for kicks!

Backstrom took a pass from Ovechkin and his slap shot trickled past Rask. The game was delayed for five minutes while the goal was being reviewed. With 1.6 seconds left in the period, the Bruins tied the score at 1 when Wideman's shot from 2-1 lead when Patrice Bergeron took a pass from Milan Lucic and deked Theodore out of position and guided the puck into the net.

The Giants got a boost from new left fielder Mark DeRosa, who scored in San Francisco's three-run second inning and added a solo homer in the eighth. Lincecum (1-0) allowed four hits and struck out seven with no walks to shut down a Houston offense that started the season with star slugger Lance Berkman on the disabled list.

PANSAN.COM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 2010 / SPORTS 5B DUKE 61, BUTLER 59 Blue Devils snag last-second Championship Duke squeezes by Butler for a two point win in final seconds of play 21 ASSOCIATED PRESS NCAA 2010 FINAL FOUR INDIANAPOLIS Duke's Miles Plumlee (21) and teammates celebrate after Duke's 61-59 win over Butler in the men's NCAA Final Four college basketball championship game Monday, in Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS - The too-perfect basketball story with the too-perfect ending is still available on DVD. The real celebration for the new national champion that's taking place on Tobacco Road. Kyle Singler scored 19 points and Brian Zoubek rebouted Gordon Hayward's miss with 3.6 seconds left Monday night to help Duke beat Butter 61-59, ending the tiny underdog's try for a "Hoosiers" sequel one win short of the Hollywood ending. ASSOCIATED PRESS The Bulldogs had a chance to win it at the end in an amazing sequence that defined this tournament. When Gordon Hayward's half-court shot at the buzzer went flying, thudded off the backboard and rim, and out and most of the crowd of 70,390 gasped, "Ohhhh." So close The Blue Devils (35-5) snapped Butler's 25-game winning streak and brought the long-awaited fourth national title back home to Carolina and the Cameron Crazies. ball game. I want to congratulate an amazing Butler team and their fans". Krzyzewski said. "Fabulous year. We played a great game, they played a great game. It's hard for me to say it, to imagine that we're the national champions." Nobody figured this would be easy, and it wasn't — no way that was going to happen against Butler, the 4,200-student private school that turned the tournament upside down and drove 5.6 miles from its historic home, Hinkle "It's hard for me to say it, to imagine that we're the national champions." MIKE KRZYZEWSKI Duke coach "First of all, it was agreatbasket- The "Big Three" — Singler, Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith — won the Big One for coach Mike Krzyewski, his first championship since 2001 and the fourth overall, tying Coach K with Adolph Rupp for second place on the all-time list. Fieldhouse, to the Final Four. Butler (33-5) shaved a five-point deficit to one and had a chance to win it, when its best player, Hayward, took the ball at the top of the key. spun and worked his way to the baseline, but was forced to put up an off-balance fadeaway from 15 feet. He missed, Zoubek got the rebound and made the first of two free throws. He missed the second one intentionally, and Duke's title wasn't secure until Hayward's desperation heave bounded out. What a game to end one of the most memorable tournaments in history, the kind that could be history if the NCAA goes ahead with what an expansion to 96 teams — something very much on the table for next year. "Both teams and all the kids on both teams played their hearts out," Krzyzewski said. "There was never more than a couple, a few points separating, so a lot of kids made big plays for both teams." Nobody led by more than six. Playing against the Bulldogs and working against a crowd of 70,390 with very few pockets of Duke fans, the Blue Devils persevered — never leading by more than six but never falling behind after Singler hit a 3-pointer with 13:03 left for a 47:43 lead. The Blue Devils won with defense. Holding the Bulldogs to 34 percent shooting and contesting every possession as tenaciously as Butler, which allowed 60 points for the first time since February. Zoubek, the 7-foot-1 center, finished with two blocks, 10 rebounds and too many altered shots to count, but also came out to trap the Butler guards and disrupt an offense that was already struggling. They won with some clutch shooting, including Singler's 3-for-6 effort from 3-point range and 6 of 6 from the free throw line in the second half until Zoubek's intentional miss. They won with a mean streak, most pointed when Lance Thomas took down Hayward hard to prevent an easy layup. The refs reviewed the play and decided not to call it flagrant — one of a hundred little moments that could have swung such a tight, taut game. --- GM offers a discount to college students and recent grads?

But while today's game will be another chance for younger players to get some valuable experience. Kansas' usual starters are accustomed to the high-velocity arms of the Big 12, where pitchers routinely fastballs in the mid-90s. But the Vikings pitchers likely will be throwing fastballs somewhere in the mid-80s, which can throw off a hitter's timing. it will mean something else for the elder members of the club. "It does get frustrating. it does get frustrating, especially if you have an 0-for-2 or 0-for-3 game, said junior left tielder Jimmy Waters. "Because these are games where, as a hitter, you're expecting to get a hit in every at-bat." "You've got to take every opportunity you get to get out there an play and prove yourself."

KANSAS VS MISSOURI VALLEY COLLEGE 6 p.m., Lawrence Brandon Macias KANSAS OPENING PITCH ATAGLANCI PLAYERTOWATCH Kansas (18-10-1, 3-2-1) is 4-1-1 in its last six games, and 7-2-1 in its last 10. Saturday's 8-8 tie against No. 22 Texas A&M was a disappointing to a hard-fought series for the Jayhawks, but they've brushed it off and are ready for their five games this week — starting tonight against MissouriValley College. Sophomore first baseman Zac Elgie Because of an early season slump, Elgie is still only hitting at a .200 clip on the season. But the sophomore has hit safely in five of the last six games in which he's made an appearance, including two home runs. If Elgie can continue to produce up to his potential, he'll provide coach Price with another dangerous bat off the bench.

Each of them delivered. This was exactly what the New York Mets were looking for on opening day. Wright hit a two-run homer, Santana pitched six effective innings and the Mets finally solved Josh Johnson, beat ing the Florida Marlins 7-1 on Monday. Newcomers Bay, Rod Barajas and Gary Matthews Jr. each got two hits for New York, which improved to a major league- Fernando Nieve replaced Santana and got six outs before Francisco Rodriguez finished just one day after returning from Venezuela, where two of his brothers were For one game, at least, the Mets looked ready to bounce back after they stumbled to a fourth place finish in the NL East last year. Jorge Cantu hit an RBI double in the sixth to cut New York's lead to 2-1, but Santana got Ronny Paulino to fly out to center with runners on first and second to end the inning. The crowd of 41,245 for Citi Field's first opening day made it clear it hadn't forgotten what happened in 2009... best 32-17 (.653) on opening day. Manager jerry Manuel also got three scoreless innings from his beleaguered bullpen, which he said was his biggest concern entering the season. Manager Fredi Gonzalez and the Marlins think they can surprise the experts again this season and content for a playoff spot, but this sloppy performance wasn't a very good beginning. Johnson allowed four runs and five hits over five-plus innings in his first opening day start, dropping to 7-1 with a 2.69 ERA in 10 career starts against New York. Cameron Maybin struck out swinging three times and Florida committed three errors during the Mets' four-run sixth. Santana looked healthy after finishing last season on disabled list, allowing just four hits while improving to 4-1 with a 3.56 ERA in five career opening day starts. injured in a car accident. The Mets desperately need a fast start to wash away the bad taste from last season's 70-92 finish, when they were ravaged by injuries and made a handful of embarrassing mistakes while stumbling to their worst finish since they went 66-95 in 2003. The crowd of 41,245 for Citi Field's first opening day made it clear it hadn't forgotten what happened in 2009, booing erratic left-hander Oliver Perez and the training staff during pregame introductions. Manuel, second baseman Luis Castillo and reliever Sean Green also got mixed receptions. Wright sent a charge through the crowd when he sliced a 1-0 pitch from Johnson over the wall in right to give New York a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The All-Star third baseman hit a career-low 10 homers last season, including five at home during the Mets' first season at their spacious ballpark. Jeff Francoeur also drove in two runs for New York, which opened the year with shortstop Jose Reyes, All-Star center fielder Carlos Beltran and first baseman Daniel Murphy on the disabled list. Pinch-hitter Angel Pagan added an RBI single in the sixth. MLB Rangers rally to beat Blue Jays ASSOCIATED PRESS ARLINGTON, Texas — Shaun Marcum took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning on opening day for Toronto before the Texas Rangers rallied for a 5-4 win Monday on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. Texas scored twice in the ninth off Blue Jays closer Jason Frasor (0-1). Michael Young, the longest-tenured Texas player in his 10th season, had a leadado double before Josh Hamilton took a called third strike. Vladimir Guerrero then had an infidel single, though second baseman Aaron Hill made a diving stab deep behind the base to keep the tying run from scoring. But Nelson Cruz hit an RBI double down the right-field line and Chris Davis was intentionally walked to load the bases. Saltalamacchia's flyball to right-center was well out of reach for the drawn-in outfield. Marcum missed last season, recovering from elbow surgery. The right-hander didn't allow a hit until Guerrero's one-out single in the seventh, after walking Hamilton, Cruz, who hit 33 home runs last season, followed with a three-run homer that tied the game at 3. Marcum struck out six and walked one as the first Blue lays pitcher since 2002 other than Roy Hallady to start the season opener. Hallady, a six-time All- Star who won an American League Cy Young Award in his 12 seasons with Toronto, was traded to Philadelphia over the winter. The back-to-back hits in the seventh were the only ones allowed by Marcum. Scott Downs took over to start the eighth and threw a perfect inning. Frank Francisco (1-0), the fourth Texas pitcher, struck out two in the ninth. In what was a home opener for him, Vernon Wells had three hits for Toronto. He had a two-run homer in the first and an RBI single in the eighth for a 4-3 lead. Wells, the longest-tenured Blue Jays player beginning his 12th season, grew up in Arlington and still lives in the area. Wells' go-ahead hit in the eighth came on a 98-mph pitch thrown by Rangers reliever Neftali Feliz, the 21-year-old fireballer who remained a setup reliever after being given a chance this spring to be in the rotation. MLB Scott Feldman, who started last season as a long reliever before moving into the Rangers rotation and winning 17 games, gave up three runs on a pair of home runs. The 27-year-old right-hander struck out three and walked none three days after getting a new contract through 2012 worth nearly $14 million and including a team option for 2013. Adam Lind hit a solo homer in the third that gave Toronto a 3-0 lead. ASSOCIATED PRESS Drew helps Diamondbacks beat Padres PHOENIX — Stephen Drew hit an inside-the-park home run and Dan Haren held San Diego to three hits in seven innings in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 6-3 win over the Padres on Monday. For the second year in a row, someone hit an inside-the-park homer on opening day — former Diamondbacks player Emilio Bonifacio did it for the Florida Marlins last year, which was the first one after 41 years. Mark Reynolds hit a two-run homer, the only earned runs among the six given up by San Diego starter Jon Garland (0-1). Haren (1-0) allowed one run and struck out four without a walk. He threw 20 of 24 first-pitch strikes and had a three-ball count against only one batter. Adrian Gonzalez and Kyle Blanks hit consecutive two-out homers off Bob Howry in the ninth for San Diego. Haren retired 19 of the first 20 battersfaced, including 15 before Gonzalez doubled with one out in the seventh, Chase Headley's two-out RBI single ended the shutout. Garland, in his first opening day start, gave up five hits in four Drew's was the sixth inside-the park home run in the franchise's 13-year history and the fifth by any player at Chase Field. With two outs in the fourth he hit Garland's 2-2 pitch high Drew's was the sixth inside-the-park home run in the franchise's 13-year history and the fifth by any player at Chase Field. innings, walking two and striking out four. A starter for Arizona last season before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, he is 4-7 at Chase Field. 2 piles high and deep. The ball caromed off the balcony over the right-center wall and far away from Padres' center fielder Tony Gwynn. By the time left fielder Kyle Banks chased down the ball and threw it to the infield. Drew was halfway between third and home. Haren scored ahead of him from first after reaching on the third baseman Headley's error. The Diamondbacks got two unearned in the first, thanks to shortstop Everth Cabrera's fielding error. Drew singled, then Justin Upton hit what should have been an ideal double-play bouncer just to the left of second base. But Cabrera bobbled the ball and both runners were safe. Reynolds walked to load the bases, then Miguel Montero lined a two-run single to right. In the third, Upton singled with one out, then Adam LaRoche struck out swinging for the second time. That brought up Reynolds who, coming off a 44-home run season, hit the first pitch high and into the left field seats. Matt Stairs appeared as a pinch hitter for the Padres in the eighth inning to tie a major league record by appearing for his 12th major league team. SUMMER OF STEPH Margaret Plaza Shopping.

City cracks down on parking fines BY ALEESE KOPF akopf@kansan.com BEDTIME BUDDIES In the span of one year Jessica Hoffman, a senior from Stilwell, estimates she has received more than 100 parking fines in the downtown area. Hoffman, who works at Britches Clothing Co., 843 Massachusetts St., said tickets had been a constant issue ever since she started working there. Hoffman blames the lack of long-term parking for her perpetual ticketing. She typically works by herself for nine or more hours in a day, which makes her unable to add money to the five-hour meters behind the store. She said the company had tried to find ways to compensate its employees.

The group of KU alumni that now own the bar hope to make improvements without changing too much. 12 KU alumni buy 'Bullwinkle's Bar' BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com kkwon@kansan.com The popular student hang out, Bullwinkle's Bar, commonly called "The Bull" is under new ownership as of Thursday. Swords, along with his original crew of friends from college, decided to buy the bar when they heard it was for sale — even "We lived there in college; it was a really good place to us," Jason Swords, a 1994 graduate, said. "My wife and I went on our first date there." For a group of 12 KU alumni and former Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers, the red shack-like dive bar that sits at 1344 Tennessee St. was more than just a place to grab beers after class. "This wasn't like 'Hey, our goal is to go find a bar in Lawrence to buy.' Swords said. "We bought it because of what it is: It's The Bull, it's KU and it's me and my buddies. If my friends weren't involved I wouldn't have done it." Swords works at Sunflower Funding, a hospitality and real estate development company in Kansas City, Mo., and has experience in the bar industry. He heard The Bull was for sale Swords said his group of friends, and now business partners, all graduated in 1994 and 1995. though they weren't looking for a new business venture.

There's no shame." Schallenberg, a junior from Olathe, and her panther are one example of what some students try to hide: the childhood bedtime companion that comes along to college. Omri Gillath, assistant professor of social psychology, is researching the links between attachment to people and attachment to objects. He said that objects such as blankets or stuffed animals worked as transitional objects for children that helped them become more independent from their caregivers. "It it helps you to become separate," Gillath said. "We all have them when we are young." Gillath said that bedtime toys and security blankets were part of the normal developmental process, but that if a person didn't complete the developmental stage properly and became stuck or fixated, the attachment to the object could last into adulthood. "I'm not saying that anyone and everyone who sleeps with a blankie or Teddy bear is stuck." Gillath said.

The BBC and other British media reported that the women placed the man, a relative of theirs, into a wheelchair and covered his face with sunglasses in a bid to get him aboard a flight to Berlin. The women, aged 41 and 66, were detained Saturday and have been released on bail. They have not been charged and police say inquiries are continuing.

The fine, originally passed in 1996, has been a constant source of controversy. Under the ordinance, individuals who accumulate five or more parking violations for expired meters within a 30-day period are considered habitual parking violators and are subject to the $50 fine. If they are cited for additional parkingviolations within the 30-day period, each additional violation is $50. By the end of March, 122 habitual parking violator citations were issued, 92 citations were still pending or past due and the total revenue collected was $1,305. In response, Britches owner Jeremy Furse presented a petition with more than 700 signatures and 100 businesses asking the city to repeal the fine at the City Commission meeting March 30. "I have lost track of the amount of tickets my roommate and I have had to pay over the three years we have lived downtown," she said. Danielle Littman, a senior from Chicago, said she did not support the habitual violator fine. Littman, who lives near 10th and Massachusetts Streets, said parking was a recurring issue for downtown residents and employees. 9. 10. 11. Littman said she thought that tickets were issued in excess for downtown residents. In her opinion, the city should issue a parking permit for universal downtown parking, including meters, to accommodate residents and downtown employees. Currently there are 1508 meters, seven two-hour free parking lots, 10 two-hour, five-hour and 10-hour metered parking lots and two garagees with free parking for a couple of hours. Yearly city passes, which cost $192 are available for the River Front Mall and New Hampshire parking garages or any of the 10-hour meters. Jane Pennington, executive director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., who supports the habitual violator fine, said the idea of a specific employee or resident parking lot was not very practical. She said there was plenty of parking, and that employees and residents should be willing to walk a few blocks if need be. "Parking is kind of at a premium and it ought to be saved for our customers," Pennington said. "I've received complaints, but if it's employees I don't have a lot of PARKING FINES AT A GLANCE Citations for overtime parking are $3. Failing to pay the $3 overtime parking ticket within 10 days will result in a fine of $15. If you receive five or more parking citations within a period of the previous 30 consecutive days, you can receive a habitual violator citation, which is $50. Citations can be issued every two hours if there is no payment to the meter or pay station. If you fail to move your vehicle completely from the two-hour free parking lot, you can be cited every two hours. Parking Control has five full-time Parking Control officers and one fulltime meter maintenance employee. - Parking Control operates from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, excluding city holidays. Source: Lawrence Police Department sympathy for them." She added that the top floor of the New Hampshire parking garage was free to anybody all day and that parking garages were rarely full. But for Hoffman and Littman, it is an issue of safety. Hoffman said she didn't feel safe walking to the garage when she got off work at nine, especially being female. Littman had similar concerns. "I usually park on the street because I feel uncomfortable walking from the fourth floor of a parking garage at night," Littman said. "The city seems more concerned with writing tickets than making people feel safe." Edited by Kirsten Hudson BULL (CONTINUED FROM 1A) when his assistant came across an advertisement on Craig's list. The previous owner, Colin Elwell, sold the bar because of his busy schedule. Elwell recently got married and started graduate school at Baker. He said he owned The Bull for more than a year-and-half and remodeled the building. "I went there when I was in school and I really liked it," Elwell said. "But I thought someone needed to put some T.L.C. into it and bring it back into the state it is now." Swords and his friends purchased The Bull at an undisclosed amount, although Elwell said their price met his expectations. He was not short on offers, however. He received many phone calls inquiring about the sale. "I needed somebody to buy it and I knew someone would be interested; it's Lawrence tradition," Elwell said. That tradition started when the bar first opened in 1920. Throughout the years, The Bull As a well-known hang out spot for the Greek community and other students, The Bull offers a laid back atmosphere, a large outdoor deck area and a location that plays into its popularity. has gone by other names such as "The Beer Stoop," because it is a beer-only bar. "The fact that its visual to a busy street like Tennessee, that helps our business," J.D. Christie, a Mission Hills senior and manager of The Bull, said. "It's a domino effect." They're also interested in cooking food outside on Fridays and Saturdays. Ultimately though, they want to leave The Bull as untouched as possible. The new owners plan to add a bar in the basement some time during the summer. "We always want it to be The Bull," Swords said. "It's never going to be anything else."

FOOTBAL CHILDHOOD (CONTINUED FROM 1A) usual child" He said that everyone had insecurities and that they used different means to deal with them. Some find comfort in alcohol, drugs or sex, while others find it in objects, such as a stuffed animal. "Actually, if you think about it, this is a really OK way to do it. What's the big deal?" Gillath said. Rachel Shallenberg, a junior from Olathe, doesn't go to bed without her stuffed black panther. The panther was the latest in a line of childhood stuffed animals, which included a bear called White Bear and a black horse named Raven. ALL IN THE FAMILY Natalie Sellers, a junior from Council Grove, has slept with a stuffed Minnie Mouse every night since she was 4 years old. She said her mom didn't want to buy it for her at first because Sellers already had so many stuffed animals. Howard Ting/KANSAN "She figured it would just be another stuffed animal that would go on the shelf," Sellers said. "But it wasn't. I kept her and brought her to college. I take her everywhere." Women aren't the only ones who still sleep with stuffed animals or blankies, but social norms may make it less likely for men to talk about it. The image of a grown man cuddling with a stuffed animal is less socially acceptable. "You don't see any differences when they're young." Gillath said. "We all use it at some point." Gillath said another reason for the apparent disconnect was that men were usually more avoidant and women were more anxious. Women may be dealing with their anxiety through the object, while men may be suppressing their emotions. Andrea Greenboot, associate professor of developmental psychology, said attachment could depend on the family's treatment of the object. She said children often named their stuffed animals and treated them as real people. "If the family and friends of this person reinforce that, and they're all sort of in on it, then you can see how this person is socialized to keep that with them," Greenhoot said. "It's just a part of their life in the same way their brother or sister or pet might be a part of their life." Sellers said her family didn't think it was strange that she still had Minnie. She said she and her dad still joked around with Minnie and pretended to talk like her. "She's just always been around, so why wouldn't she still be around?" Sellers said. Sellers said she even slept with Minnie when her boyfriend was around. Sellers' boyfriend, Adam Baratz, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., said he met Minnie in the dorms his freshman year when Sellers introduced Minne to a few of her friends. He said he didn't think it was weird. "I had a friend in high school who also had stuffed animals around," he said. Baratz said that he wasn't jealous of Minnie, but that if Sellers had to choose between Minnie and him, she would definitely go with Minnie. "I'm OK with it." Baratz said. "Mimie's been around longer than I have." GROWING PAINS When students go to college they leave the friends and family who usually provide comfort in times of stress and insecurity. A stuffed animal can help because it's something familiar from home. Gillath said depression and adjustment problems were becoming more common among college students. According to an American College Health Association report, about 30 percent of college students felt so depressed it was difficult to function at least once within the last 12 months. "I think if students can find ways for themselves to go through college and survive or succeed and if what they need for that is a blankie, provide the blankies as they get in," Gillath said. "As you get older you just move on. Or your ex-boyfriend doesn't give them back," Schallenberg said. When Schallenberg came to the University she never tried to hide her panther. She said that before her panther she had several other stuffed animals. Her old favorites were a bear named White Bear and a little black horse named Raven. She said she still missed Raven, whom she lent to an ex-boyfriend and hadn't seen since. Gillath said having an attachment to a blankie or stuffed animal did not always mean there was a psychological problem. Sometimes there is just sentimental value to the object. "It's something that's very normal in a way and if it helps, then great. It's better than becoming a drug addict," Gillath said. Edited by Katie Blankenau ON CAMPUS APT. FEST 2010 UDK + APT.

The research-based class typically works with clients such as Sprint, Hallmark or Payless Shoes and offers students a chance to put together a new sales strategy or campaign for their respective company. This semester one of the classes is teaming with the Office of the Provost to create a campaign on campus that promotes responsible drinking. As part of their research, students have teamed with Anheuser-Busch's Corporate Social Responsibility Outreach group in St. Louis and O'Malley Beverage in Lawrence. Students in the campaigns class are divided into six teams of six. Bob Basow, associate professor of journalism, said members of the groups would do field research to observe successful responsible-alcohol programs at various college campuses across the country. Studies have already been completed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Colorado State University. Visits are also scheduled at the University The last stop is St. Louis, where students will meet with the Social Responsibility Outreach group at Anheuser-Busch, which teams with more than 600 independent distributors to fight against alcohol abuse, and also with a class of business administration masters students at Washington University. The masters students are working on a similar problem and the KU students plan to use their research on the University's campaign. of Missouri and the University of Virginia, which houses the National Social Norms Institute, an organization that studies and researches public health issues. Basow said the campaign's goal was to promote responsible drinking and reduce the negative results from irresponsible drinking. Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, originally went to Basow with the idea after last year's alcohol-related student deaths. Basow's class already had its client at that time but he brought it back for this semester. Roney and Kathryn Tuttle, associate vice provost for student success, serve as the class' clients. Along with studying other campuses, the class is also looking at the Lawrence community. That includes students, faculty and staff at the University as well as retail liquor stores. Justin Sailer, a senior from El Dorado, said the Lawrence community would play a huge role in the execution of the campaign. "They'll help us carry it out because they will be here to support and back us up," Sailer said. The class has received outside media interest for its unique campaign. Sailor said he felt that people were interested because it was students trying to change other students. Valerie Gunn, a senior from Linwood, traveled to Colorado State with her team last week. She said the trip was encouraging because of the successful teamwork between the community and the university. "It's going to take a little time for KU to get there, obviously, but it's possible," Gunn said. "It was really inspiring to know that we will get there someday. They did it, and so can we." Gunn said that her class faced a unique challenge because their goal was not to sell a product, but that it was also more passionate because the drinking issue was very relevant in their lives. "It is such a big issue and we all see it every day," Gunn said.

Rescuers were taking precautions to prevent explosions and to improve ventilation in the mine.

By Tuesday, there had been no new signs of life from those still trapped, said rescue headquarters spokesman Liu Dezheng. Asked if he was hopeful for their survival, Liu said, "I can only say that we are exerting all efforts." The grim outlook came after Monday's dramatic rescues at the Wangialing mine in the northern province of Shanxi. The 115 miners survived for eight days underground by eating sawdust, tree bark, paper and even coal. Some strapped themselves to the walls of the shafts with their belts to avoid drowning while they slept. Rescue work stretched into its 10th day but met a new challenge as toxic, highly combustible gas seeped into the mine, reaching levels a rescue spokesman said were "impermissible" Efforts to pump out enough water for rescuers to enter were hindered by tunnels too narrow for large pumps to be installed. --- The recovery of six bodies also dimmed hopes. core theme of the new strategy. lemon bliss spa Limited Time Offers! $22 for 1 Month Unlimited Tanning $10 for 1 Week Unlimited Tanning *Valid for Bliss/Level 1 beds Must present coupon at time of purchase Includes up to 2 hours free valet parking Must purchase by 5/1/10 1200 Oread Ave (inside The Oread) 785.830.3908 www.theoread.com INTERNATIONAL Obama's announcement set the stage for his trip to Prague www.theoread.com ALL INCLUSIVE SAVE MONEY AT THE RESERVE WITH RENT STARTING AT $324. - 24 hour fitness center - Sparkling pool & hot tub - Fully furnished - Sand volleyball court - Basketball court - Free tanning - 24 hour computer lab - Free movie rentals - On KU bus route - Roadside rescue program *some restrictions apply* [INDIVIDUAL LEASES] THE RESERVE ON WEST ST.

EDITORIAL BOARD Setting the record straight There have been numerous national and local news sources, student senators and journalists who all have something to say about the potential fee cut of $83,200 to The University Daily Kansan. Student Senate is scheduled to vote on the issue tonight, and we feel a vote supporting this cut is not only unconstitutional, but a petty motion that is not in the best interest of the student body. Regardless of the differing viewpoints, we wanted to clarify a few points involving this potential cut before the decision is made tonight. 1. This money will eliminate more than student "salaries." Exactly how much an $83,200 cut will impede the Kansan's ability to continue to produce the same quality product can not be known at this time. What we do know for sure is that this cut will not only affect student workers, but it will decrease the quality of our content coverage. In addition to content, it will also hurt student workers. The money given to students who work at the Kansan does not begin to cover the amount of hours they actually spend working at the paper. The reason editors are paid is because it is such a demanding job; it is virtually impossible to simultaneously maintain another job. Additionally, Student Senate funds other student salaries and The Kansan is one of the main reasons the School of Journalism can compete nationally with other schools. Journalism students are required to take two advanced media classes to graduate. 2. This will affect an entire school at the University These are classes such as "newspaper reporting," "newspaper and online editing" and "magazine writing." All of these classes interact directly with The Kansan. Graduating with a journalism degree without experience working at a quality newspaper will hurt students already difficult chances of finding a job post graduation. We have heard the argument that, "Everyone's had to take cuts." If this was the case there would be a 10 percent cut across all student groups. This isn't even a 10 percent cut across all campus media groups. This cut would be singing out the Kansan specifically. 3. It about the relationship, not the lack of money. Student Body President Mason Heilman said in a Kansan article on March 10, "To me, this is one of the most inappropriate relationships Student Senate has with any other outside group." This potential cut is not about needing the money; it is about some student senators' personal problem with the relationship. 4. Other schools operate with a similar fee. Heilman didn't respond to calls regarding this editorial before this went to print. Out of all of the Big 12 universities, the Kansan receives the least amount of monetary support from the student body. Schools that don't have an apparent subscription fee often have endowment funds, which the Kansan has been told by the University it cannot use. 5. It can be illegal to make this cut. For more information about the legality of this issue read Tuesday's article "Senate to vote on Kansan fee cuts" at Kansan.com 6. The relationship is not a conflict of interest. The student fee goes through the campus media board which directly allocates the funds to various campus media, including the Kansan. The endorsements of student candidates written by the editorial board are consistent with how national editorial boards operate. The Kansan should be as educational for journalism students as possible, and to have a newspaper board that does not cover topics as pertinent to the study body as Student Senate elections would be pointless. We hope this has helped to clarify what has become a controversial issue. Tonight, student senators should act in the best interest of the students they represent by voting against this proposal. - Caitlin Thornbrugh for The Kansan Editorial Board EDITORIAL CARTOON This iPad is a game-changer! One game at a time. NICHOLAS SAMBALUK INTERNATIONAL ISSUES The distorted concept of marriage In China, it would seem way too early for someone my age to talk about marriage. However, I'm in America, a country that is accustomed to early marriage. Recently, people in my hometown were shocked to learn that several purported affairs between famous Hong Kong artists were true. The artists admitted during press conferences that they had secretly married. One couple disclosed they are now in the process of ending their four-year marriage Part of the controversy surrounding these recent revelations was just how out of place seemingly compulsive marriages are in China. To me, it was no surprise that in America, where quick Las Vegas-style weddings are not only heard of, but often glamorized, divorce is so common. It stands to reason that reckless marriages should die out as quickly as they first emerge. The artists defended that they kept their relationships secret to protect their careers and the divorcing couple claimed it was an amicable split. Aside from that, not much detail was provided. According to the Americans for Divorce Reform estimation, 40 to 50 percent of marriages in the U.S. will end in divorce. By comparison, the 33.8 percent divorce rate in Hong Kong is relatively optimistic. And, even then, Hong Kong's rate is at an all-time high, as people are more open to western ideas and NANHUANGZHONG Life in a Kaleidoscope Experts explain that a main reason of the high break-up rate in the U.S. is the individual freedom Americans so love to pursue. If love and family cannot bring people happiness and safety, some may reason that divorce is their only choice. It seems to me that children and family members are not often taken into consideration in this self-centered objective. the concept of gender relations has possibly distorted. BY JOSIE HO jho@kakao.com On the contrary, China is a nation that stresses family ties and family responsibility. To many of us, the belief that marriage is a matter of only two people doesn't always apply. Instead, we realize that more people are influenced and affected by the success or failure of a relationship than the two Despite the cultural differences, the ever-changing social climate and the concept of relationships play a role in the maintenance of a marriage. Consider new obstacles to today's relationships: Economically independent women feel more confident of their abilities to support themselves. Long working hours threaten the ability to spend time with significant others. Add to that childlessness, separate bank accounts and threats of infidelity, and it is easy to see just how challenging any relationship can be. Generations of our past have frowned on divorce, but this generation seems to embrace it. However, the developments are not only for the worst. Could it be that people aren't losing faith in love, but rather we are just becoming more open-minded toward gender relations? To some, divorce doesn't mean a loss of faith in love. Instead it just gives them a new hope for marriages of higher quality. To me, marriage is a solemn decision for two people to enter another critical life stage together. Along with the ring, responsibilities are also slipped onto the hand. Although the mutual ties will be gone after the signature on the divorce agreement, a permanent scar will never be washed away So, think precisely before making any life-changing promises to your beloved; otherwise, what may now seems to be a rosy romance could turn out to be a heart-breaker.

They were chanted so and became such a cultural touchstone that it is hard to look at that person without hearing them now. If you don't believe me, just think about where those words take you. Close your eyes and say it with me: "Drill, baby, drill." Wait ... Is that what I was going for? Right now, it seems so. What was recently one of Sarah Palin's catchphrases seems to be regaining popularity on Capitol Hill, though it doesn't apply to ANWR this time. As a part of recent plans for energy policy, President Obama has begun to advocate an expansion of offshore drilling in certain locations, mainly off of the east coast. The idea behind expanding drilling is, as it has always been, to increase job opportunities and decrease dependence on foreign oil. The President reiterated these points when announcing the plan to increase oil exploration off the coast. Obama said during a speech on energy security at Andrews Air Force Base that the country was "going to need to harness traditional sources of fuel" while developing newer energy sources. Liberal Loudmouth Regardless, this is a move that would have been more expected during the Bush Administration, when environmental concerns tended to be treated as obstacles to corporate ventures and little else. The positive sides of the expansion of drilling are that it does not include exploration in ANWR or the west coast. Past concerns that were expressed in that part of the country were over the possibility of drilling as close as three miles to the coastline. The announcement that drilling would only be permitted at a minimum 100 miles from shore means less damage to coastal environments. Not so concerned with that PETER DAVID BURNS BY BEN COHEN Both support for and opposition to this most recent round of deregulations have been bipartisan, so we don't have the excuse of saying "Wait until the Democrats get to whip out their plan" at the moment. I cringed during the last campaign cycle whenever "Drill, baby, drill" was pulled out as an answer to "Yes we can," but I also had that reaction when the Democratic candidates mentioned clean coal (the mythology of which I don't have room to write about today) as an alternative source of energy. That said, drilling is drilling. It will be invasive wherever it happens, and will still carry risks of disrupting ocean ecosystems and spilling oil. One has to wonder when we will finally stop opening new sites, and really move forward on developing new fuel technologies. In the time we have spent waiting for advances on real alternative fuel sources, many environmentalists have grudgingly tolerated existing drilling operations. It just would be nice to have a respite from needing to worry about more drilling sites being opened.

It a bit odd that expanding offshore drilling is a delaying tactic, but some people are just never satisfied. Steve Latter, an economics professor at Texas Tech, said he never failed a single student before but he had, once, failed an entire class. A simple analogy of socialism versus free-market capitalism That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich. It is a great equalizer. The professor decided to hold an experiment with the class on socialism: all grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade — no single person would fail and no single person would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little for the first test studied even less. The ones who studied hard for the first test decided they wanted a free ride, too, so they studied little. The second test average was a D, and no one was happy. When the third test rolled around the average was dropped even lower to an E. The scores never increased throughout the semester as bickering, blame and name calling all resulted in hard feelings. It appeared that no one was willing to study any longer for the benefit of anyone else. Not surprisingly, they all failed. At the end of the course, Professor Latter told the class that socialism would also ultimately fail. Capitalism is successful because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great. But, when the government levels the playing field and takes more of reward away, no one will try or want to succeed as much as before. It seems to me that it could not be any simpler than that.

NATIONAL Lawmakers repeal decades-old sex law SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers narrowly advanced a bill Tuesday that would repeal a state law designed to find the causes and cures of homosexuality. The law, written in 1950, classifies homosexuals as "sexual deviants" and requires the state Department of Mental Health to conduct research on "deviations conducive to sex crimes against children."The research would be used to help identify potential sex offenders. The bill moved out of the Assembly Committee on Public Safety on a 4-0 vote, with one Democrat and two Republican members abstaining from voting. They said the law's reference to homosexuality should be removed. Associated Press KU's Swing Society teaches new moves on the dance floor CAMPUS BY NANCY WOLENS nwolens@kansan.com Amber Otto gathers everyone into a circle to begin the warm-up. Collin Johnson/KANSAN "Rock-step, kick-step, kick-and-back step," Otto, an alumna from Springhill, yells to the class during the first part of the dance lesson. "Everyone grab a partner," Otto said. "Now invite your fellow to dance." The beginners stand in the center of the room for their first lesson in the fundamentals of swing dancing. Meanwhile, advanced dancers line the perimeter, waiting for the moment they can step onto the dance floor. Every Tuesday the KU Swing Society organizes Swing Night, an event open to the public that teaches a variety of swing styles in the Kansas Union. Swing Society is "dedicated to preserving vintage vernacular Jazz and Blues 'Swing' dances" through communal dance and instruction. "We saw a lot of regulars and a lot of new faces tonight," Otto said. Erica Henderson, a junior from Fredonia, has been coming to Swing Night for the past two years and said she loved the atmosphere of the group. Otto has been dancing for four years and began teaching swing dancing two years ago. She comes to Swing Night every week, even after graduating from the University. She said the 25 or so people that showed up to Tuesday's Swing Night was the average amount she tended to see on a weekly basis. "Everyone's here just for fun," Henderson said. "They don't care if you know two moves or two hundred moves. Everyone dances with everyone and it's so much fun" Lauren Landry, a senior from Plymouth, Minn., and the president of KU Swing Society, has been swing dancing, specifically the Lindy Hop, for about five years. (1) "I did some East Coast back in high school in Minnesota," Landry said. "But I really got into it my junior year at KU with the Swing Society." Lindy Hop and East Coast are two of several dances the group rocks to during swing night. Landry said Lindy Hop was the "granddaddy" of all partner swing dances. Katie Copy, a sophomore at Baker University, tries to teach her boyfriend, Willee O'Quinn, a sophomore from Dallas, how to swing dance Tuesday night. A swing group meets every Tuesday in the Union's Kansas Room for lessons and an open dance. "We just heard about it, and thought it would be fun," said Copy. "I hesitate to call it more complicated, but it does involve knowing both six and eight-count steps." Landry said. "We generally work students up to this from East Coast swing." East Coast swing developed from Lindy Hop and became popular again in the Neo-Swing era. Landry said that when people think of swing, East Coast is normally what they're visualizing. Some other types of swing dance they do are Lindy Hizzop, a "funkier," more hip-hop version of swing that has more hip movement and foot work. Balboa is another dance that was created in the '40s when the dance floors were really crowded and swingers needed to take up less space. In Balboa, people dance very close to their partners and the footwork is smaller and more intricate, Landry said. Landry said the group tried to encourage people to learn all the dances during the lessons, which start at 8 p.m and last about an hour. "We try to play a wide range of music from the 1920s all the way up to contemporary music to try and meet everyone's tastes" Landry said. As the lesson came to a close, eager dancers began to take the floor. Each free lesson is followed by social dancing until 11 p.m. Landry said it was not necessary to bring a partner because the group tried to rotate partners during the lessons. Along with the beginners' lessons, the group teaches more developed lessons for people who come every week. "We want people to enjoy dancing, learn to love the music if they don't already and meet other people who enjoy dancing as well." Landry said.

Realistically, the six competing quaterbacks can already be broken up into two groups of three: The three who will dress on game day, and the three seeing all their playing time on the practice squad. Sure, coach Turner Gill and Chuck Long, who doubles as both the offensive coordinator and the quarterback coach, are telling the media that it is a completely open competition, as they rightly should. Freshman Christian Matthews, junior Quinn Mecham, junior Jacob Morse, sophomore Connor Teahan, sophomore Kale Pick and freshman Jordan Webb are all still competing. But Monday, the coaches finally gave a glimpse at the three most likely players to wear the Kansas jerseys. "Webb would be one and Pick and Matthews would probably be the three guys that are getting more reps than the other guys at this particular time," Gill said before Monday's practice. Finally some names to add to a figurative depth chart. Webb, after taking a redshirt last year, is now making a name for himself as a freshman. Coming from a spread offense in high school, the coaches from Mark Mangino's staff who recruited him knew he could throw the ball. Gill has already singled him out, which places him with Pick as one of the two most likely contenders for the starting job. If you haven't seen the YouTube videos of Gill's ability to run the ball at Nebraska, then you don't know what kind of quarterback Gill is looking for. Pick potentially has the best chance at starting under center because of his experience last year backing up Kansas' former quaterback Todd Reesing. Not only does he want an outstanding leader, he wants a playmaker. Pick showed that ability last year in his limited gameday experience. In just 14 run attempts last year, Pick accumulated 167 yards and averaged more than 11 yards per carry. At the same time, Prick prizes himself on his ability to throw. Matthew has worked himself up to what seems to be the third spot on the depth chart. He is another example of a playmaking quarterback who has the ability to scramble and deliver the pass. But, at 6-foot-1 and only 186 pounds, it looks like some time in the gym is needed. Even though it is only the half-way point of spring practices, narrowing down the field of quarterbacks gives some sense that the future Kansas starting lineup is coming together Edited by Kate Larrabee --- SPORTS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "This isn't football.

The "Jay Hey Kid" jacked a 447-foot three-run homer over the right field wall in his first big league at bat during a 16-5 victory against the Cubs Monday. With a football player's build at 6-foot-5-inches and 240 pounds. Heyward loads up and unleashes a punishing swing on unsuspecting fastballs. Many were shocked that Atlanta chose to bring this kid up from the minors so early, considering age and economics (his arbitration clock starts ticking a year earlier). But Braves' General Manager Frank Wren couldn't hold Heyward back any longer after he crushed everything thrown at him in spring training. Expect Heyward to win the NL.

BUTLER TEARS ACL HUGGINS REVEALS TRUE CHARACTER Midway through the second half of Duke's 78-57 trouncing against West Virginia in Saturday's final four, senior DaSean Butler tore the ACL in his left knee. Trying to rally his team to a comeback, Butler drove inside and buckled his knee after colliding into center Brian Zoubek. THE MORNING BREW Butler was a second team All- American and considered a possible late first round pick in the upcoming NBA draft. After the injury, Butler may lose his shot at playing in the league. At best, he will catch on with some team in the NBA as a second rounder or an undrafted free agent. If not, Butler could sadly, but still profitably, fall back to a European league. But the injury also initiated one of the most emotional moments in recent tournament history. Directly after Butler collapsed, coach Bob Huggins darted out to the floor. He cradled Butler's crying face in his arms. Butler was apologizing for not giving his coach a national championship. Huggins got nose-to-nose with his star and shared strong and loving words, promising Butler that it was never just about the victories. Critics often find ways to extrapolate Huggins' occasionally questionable track record. But in the Final Four, on a national stage, Huggins proved his passion as a leader. The bond that he forms with his players explains his ability to win in any circumstance. It also underlines Huggins' status as one of the best coaches in the country.

The traditional tournament gives the men's HorrorZontals team and the women's Bettys team a chance to fine-tune their frisbee skills and compete in a relaxed environment before Sectionals next weekend. The HorrorZontals A team was not originally scheduled to compete, but because another team dropped out of the tournament, the HorrorZontals entered to get some more experience. Because it was originally scheduled to have this week off, the team gave playing time to its rookies, and did not compete on the second day of the competition. The HorrorZontals won their first game against Colorado College 13-12, despite a slow start, and defeated Kansas State's B Team 13-4. The rookies got most of the playing time in the K-State game, earning some valuable experience. The HorrorZontals lost to nationally ranked Iowa State on a sudden death score. Iowa State then went on to win the tournament. But the big game for the HorrorZontals was the "Zontal Alumni game, in which the team played against former 'Zontals and even their current coaches. "This is always the most fun game of Fools Fest for the 'Zontals, with a huge crowd on the sideline throwing friendly heckles back and forth." Alex Gareis, the men's club president, said. In the alumni game, the current HorrorZontals started out slow, going down 4-0, but came back before the half, almost tying it at 8-7. The game came down to a sudden death point at 14-14. Despite some great defense by both squads, the alumni were able to pull out the last score and win the game. The Bettys played four games Saturday and went 1-3. Their victory came against Kansas State, which they dominated 13-3. The highlight of the Betts week-end, as with the Horror Zontals. was the chance to play against the alumni team. And this game came down to the wire as well. Once again, the alumni used their experience to pull out a win. This tournament didn't count for either team's season record, but did give them a chance to home some aspects of their game. In the first step toward Nationals, the Bettys and the HorrorZontals will play in the Sectionals tournament this weekend in St. Louis. — Edited by Katie Blankenau Start here Live off campus?

Hackenberg shot a three-round total of 223 strokes, finishing in a tie for 10th place. "Hack is back shooting the scores we need him to," coach Kit Grove said. After a slow start to the spring, Hackenberg said he was happy with his performance in Wichita. for me to shoot a few good scores." Hackenberg said. "Obviously I've struggled this spring a little bit, so it was great T h e I a y h a w k s recorded the best team score of the day, jumping from a tie for seventh to fourth place and gave Kansas yet another top five finish this season. P Hackenberg "We took a step in the right direction this week." Grove said. "Anytime you score the low round for the day you have to be pleased with that." Despite its best effort, Kansas was unable to avenge the loss it suffered to Wichita State in a playoff two weeks ago. Witchia State won the tournament by 12 strokes. Shockers' golfers Dustin Garza and Tyler Gann finished in first and second individually. "It was tough to grind through the wind the last two days, but we all pulled together to finish in the top four," Hackenberg said. Nate Barbee, a junior from Dakota Dunes, S.D., finished in a tie for fifth place, securing his eighth top five finish of his junior campaign. Barbee, with rounds of 77, 71 and 72 recorded a team- best total of 220 strokes. The Jayhawks' lineup also featured Blake Giroux, a sophomore from Omaha, Neb., who saw his first action in a tournament since September. Playing as an individual, Giroux capitalized on the opportunity and finished in a tie for 15th place. Dan Waite, a freshman from Surrey, England, also finished in a tie for 15th place individually. He shot a 72 Tuesday, which was his best round of the tournament. "Dan played solid again this week and that is really building his confidence," Grove said. Fellow freshmen Alex Gutesha. from Greenwood Village, Colo., and Chris Gilbert, from Simi Valley, Calif., rounded out the lajayhawks' lineup. Gutesha finished in a tie for 26th place with a three-round total of 228 strokes and Gilbert finished in a tie for 42nd place with a total 232. Every team gets to drop the worst score by one player in each round on the final day. Grove said he was happy with the score they dropped. "We threw out a 76 today and that is pretty impressive," Grove said. "Wed like all our scores to be 75 or below." Kansas will play in its final tournament before the Big 12 championship April 12 and 13 when the team heads to Columbia, Mo., to play in the Missouri Intercollegiate. "We're making improvements every week," Grove said. "We're getting better at finishing off rounds and becoming more consistent, so I'm excited about what we can do in Columbia." The layhawks are looking forward to next week, especially after Tuesday's performance. "We still haven't played to our full potential this year and if we do we can definitely win the whole tournament," Hackenberg said.

From the first shot of the season, it seemed inevitable that Maya Moore, Tina Charles and the Connecticut Huskies would win the NCAA championship. And so they did Tuesday night, rallying from a horrible first half to beat Stanford 53-47 for their 78th straight victory and stamping themselves as one of the most dominant teams ever — in their sport or any other, men or women. Held to only five points through the first 12 minutes and running 26 to at the break, coach Geno Ariemmana team bounced back and played like champs. Moore the game's outstanding player, scored 23 points school at which she served as provost for six years. Stanford played a nearly flawless defensive first half, holding UConn to 12 points — the lowest ever in a championship game and the lowest in school history. But then Moore and the Huskies took over. She visited with the team at a morning shootaround offering words of encouragement. Rice had hoped to see the Cardinal win their third championship and first since 1992. Her 3-pointer from the top of the key made it 23-22, giving UConn its first lead since it was 5-0. That ended a 19-minute stretch in which UConn was behind — the longest UConn opened the second half by scoring 17 of the first 19 points to take its first lead since early in the game. Moore had 11 points during the spurt, scoring from all over the court. UConn scored the fewest first-half points (12) in school history before becoming the first school to ever have consecutive unbeaten seasons. and grabbed 11 rebounds to help Auriemma win his seventh national championship, moving within one title of Pat Summitt and Tennessee. He's never lost in the title game. They've been unstoppable over the past two years, winning every game by double figures until Tuesday night, and passing their own NCAA women's record of 70 straight wins set from 2001-03 in early March. The championship victory put them within 10 of the vaunted 8-game winning streak set by the UCLA men in the early 1970s. The Huskies became the first team ever to have consecutive unbeaten seasons, but that doesn't cover it. Charles added nine points, 11 rebounds, and 6 blocks for UConn (39-0) in front of a crowd of 22,936 that included Vice President Joe Biden as well as former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. While Biden showed impartiality in his cheering, Rice was rooting on Stanford — the the Huskies UConn had trailed this season. The only time that the Huskies were behind more than 10 minutes during this season also had been against Stanford Moore followed up her 3 with a sweet jumper and a layup on the break after Charles had blocked Nnemkadi Ogwumike on the other end. JJ Hones' 3-pointer with 11:46 left in the game cut the deficit to 29-25, but then Charles made her presence felt, scoring seven of the Huskies next nine points to make it 38-27 with 7:42 left. Stanford would only get as close as five the rest of the way. UConn let the Cardinal close the gap late making just 9 of 22 free throws. This was the sixth time the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the final AP Top 25 poll met for the title. The last came in 2002 when UConn beat Oklahoma in San Antonio Red Sox hand over victory to Yankees Connecticut's Caroline Doty signals to her teammates as she runs up court during the second half Tuesday night. The Huskies Maya Moore scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, helping coach Geno Auriemma win his seventh national championship. MLB BOSTON — Hideki Okajima walked Nick Johnson to score the tiebreaking run after a costly error by shortstop Marco Scutaro loaded the bases, and the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 6-4 Tuesday night. outs in the eighth. But his throw went in the dirt and off first baseman Kevin Youkilis' glove. Then Okajima (1-1) walked Johnson, scoring Jorge Posada and making the score 5-4. Scutaro, part of Boston's offseason emphasis on improving its run prevention, fielded Derek Jeter's routine grounder with two Alfredo Aceves (1-0) pitched two hitless innings and Mariano Rivera got his first save of the year and 527th of his career, the most in AL history. Robinson Cano added his first homer of the year in the ninth. ASSOCIATED PRES.

And there won't be until his awful Golden State Warriors start playing defense again. Nelson fell way short in his first attempt at breaking Lenny Wilkens' record for NBA coaching victories as Golden State fell behind by double digits before the game was three minutes old and went on to lose 112-94 to the Washington Wizards. Nelson is stuck at 1,332 career victories. The Wizards have been just as bad as the Warriors — the teams entered the game with identical 23-53 records — but on this night they could do virtually whatever they wanted on offense. Nick Young scored a season-high 29 points, laVale McGee set career highs with 25 points and 15 rebounds. Shaun Livingston matched a career-high with 21 points on 9-for-11 shooting, and Andray Blatche added 21 points, giving the Wizards four 20-point scorers for the first time since December 2007. The Wizards took a 15-2 lead and never looked back, setting season highs for points in the first quarter (40) and first half (68). They shot 52 percent, scored 52 points in the paint and out-rebounded the Warriors 35-15 in the first half and 52-31 for the game. Washington has won two straight for the first The Warriors, meanwhile, looked like a team playing for more pingpong balls in the draft lottery than a group trying to help a coach reach a major NBA milestone. Nelson's players danced in a circle around the coach after he tied Wilkens with a 113-112 win against the Toronto Raptors Sunday night, but the 69-year-old Nelson spent much of Tuesday's game watching from a bench with a wrinkled brow. Maybe it was for the best. The setting was hardly one for a historic moment, with the Verizon Center about two-thirds empty at tip-off before the crowd grew to an announced attendance of 14,721. time since mid-February. The Warriors had won two straight to get Nelson even with Wilkens, and another victory would have given them their first three-game winning streak of the season. Stephen Curry scored 27 points to lead the Warriors. Corey Maggette had 20. Notes: Nelson's next chance to break the record comes Wednesday night at Minnesota. Nelson and his team had a tour of the White House before the game and got to see President Barack Obama. "Didn't get a chance to chat with him, but we saw him. He was out sunning around noon and reading. ... My wife supported Obama and worked for him and set it up," Nelson said.

APRIL 7, 2010 / SPORTS 5B BATTLE OF THE JAYS BASEBALL GAMEDAY JAYHAWKS V. BLUEJAYS The first pitch will be thrown at 6:30 tonight in Omaha. KANSAS OPENING PITCH CREIGHTON AT A GLANCE After Tuesday's rain out, the Jayhawks (18-10-1, 3-2-1) come in with a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 games. Kansas and Creighton met only two weeks ago, on March 23 and played a tight contest at Hoglund Ballpark. The Jayhawks walked off with the 5-4 victory in the ninth, after the Bluejays put up a tough fight. QUESTION MARK How will freshman redshirt pitcher Thomas Taylor fare against a top-level opponent? fro nin Valle AT A GLANCE For the most part, Taylor has started Kansas' developmental games, but the toughest opponent he has faced was Arkansas on Friday. Taylor saw mixed success against the Razorbacks, allowing only two hits and striking out four batters in three innings. But his control cost him an opportunity to pitch deep into the game, which has been his main issue this season. When Taylor has success locating his pitches, he has shown great potential that has Kansas excited. BY THE NUMBERS PLAYER TO WATCH This is the second time this week the Bluejays will face a Big 12 team. The Bluejays avoided a sweep from the Indiana State Sycamores by winning the last game of the series 7-6 in the bottom of the ninth with T.J. Roemmich's game-winning single. Creighton is 13-8 and in fifth place in the Missouri/ Valley Conference. The match-up against Creighton is an important non-conference challenge for the Jayhawks. Because Kansas will head to Austin to face No. 7 Texas this weekend, it needs to put together a complete, nine-inning effort to earn a victory, and get some momentum rolling before the three-game series against a ranked Big 12 opponent. MONTANA Junior left fielder Jimmy Waters 4-2 — Kansas' record in games started by Thomas Taylor Waters It's a homecoming game of sorts for Waters, who despite playing high school ball in Iowa, was born in Omaha, Neb. Waters has been Kansas' biggest power threat this season, leading the club with four home runs and 33 RBI, and he would love to add to those totals in front of his family, friends and former teammates. GAME OUTLOOK 9-17 — Kansas' all-time record against Creighton QUESTION MARK Trever Adams could have a breakout game against the Jayhawks. In the last game between these two teams Adams had three hits and scored a run. This season, Adams leads Creighton in almost every offensive category. He also leads the team with a batting average of .367 and with 21 RBIs. 4 — Kansas' winning streak against Creighton The Jayhawks have a great opportunity to continue the offensive success that they had over the weekend against Texas A&M. Look for Tony Thompson to break out of his slump after coming off a knee injury. The Bluejays were beaten by Indiana State twice in close ballgames because of a weak bullpen.

He has totaled Taylor comes into his seventh start of the season with a 2-0 record, but also carries a 5.23 ERA. He boasts a talented arm that has impressed coaching staff, and has shown flashes of his potential. But he has been plagued by a lack of control.

Taylor said he had been working with pitching coach Ryan Graves on his command, as well as mixing different pitches to maximize his effectiveness. 14 walks in 20.2 innings this season. He has also hit five batters, and lately has allowed a number of base runners after getting ahead in the count. And regardless of the competition in the opposing dugout, Taylor's success from the mound will be determined by the quality of his outing. "I think it's still the same approach," Taylor said. "I just need to throw a lot of strikes."

Diaw had 17 points, nine rebounds and nine assists, while a gimpy Stephen Jackson added 15 points for the Bobcats (41-36), who inched closer to their first playoff berth and can finish no worse than .500. Atlanta's hopes of reaching 50 wins for the first time in 12 years were squashed as it fell behind by 20 points after the first quarter. Maurice Evans scored 20 points and Jamal Crawford added 18 for the Hawks, who played without top scorer Joe Johnson (sprained thumb) and point guard Mike Bibby (ingrown toenail). Johnson, averaging 21.2 points, didn't travel with the team and will miss his third straight game Wednesday in Detroit after first being injured last week. Atlanta got within nine on several occasions in the fourth quarter, but Wallace and Diaw were there to end the Hawks' comeback hopes as Charlotte split the season series in a possible first round playoff preview. The Bobcats took advantage, building leads of 34-14 after the first quarter and 59-36 at halftime behind Wallace, who had 22 points at the break. Bibby, who had an ingrown toenail removed Monday, was scratched after experiencing too much pain at the morning shootaround. Atlanta (49-28) entered the night a game ahead of Boston in the race for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. But the Hawks came to town shorthanded. Hawks coach Mike Woodson wanted to keep Crawford in his Jackson shot 5 of 9 for Charlotte despite a painful hamstring injury that kept him out of the fourth quarter of Saturday's loss to Chicago. Crawford started the second half, while Teague, in his second pro start, missed his first seven shots. Smith added 18 points for the Hawks, who lost their fifth straight on the road. Neither were impressive early. Teague struggled running the offense and the Bobcats went at Evans defensively. But the biggest problem for Atlanta was that nobody could guard Wallace despite his nagging shoulder injury. sixth-man role, so Evans started for Johnson and rookie Jeff Teague for Bibby. It helped the Bobcats improve to 30-9 at home as owner Michael Jordan took in the game from his front-row seat. He kept getting easy baskets inside and in transition, scoring 14 points in the first quarter. Josh Smith picked up his third foul on the first of Wallace's two three-point plays to close the half. "I think if we knock off the errors on the board and get some hits, we'll have a pretty good chance of beating them," Vertela said. SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "If Missouri has weaknesses, they don't let them show," senior pitcher Sarah Vertelka said. "I think we'll find them when we play them. So far it seems that they are pretty solid all the way around." Kansas has its obvious flaws, but Missouri's are more discreet. Because she is from ing about the adjustments they need to make," Smith said. "They're just seeing the pitch and trying to hit it" Kansas needs to stay focused on itself and control what it can control, Vertelka said. "I felt my freshman and sophomore year I was on the outside looking in." Vertalka said. "Now I really feel like I'm part of Kansas." California, Vertelka said she didn't know much about the Kansas-Missouri rivalry coming in. But now, she said, she understands the magnitude of the rivalry. "I think our girls are excited enough and frustrated enough that we want some wins." Vertelka said.

Gill detailed position changes. BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com Junior linebacker Justin Springer lost five pounds heading into spring practices. Because of that he's eagerly awaiting the start of the new season. So far, several Jayhawks have shared similar thoughts about coach Turner Gill's clean-slate atmosphere. Perhaps few players are as refreshed as Springer. Springer spent the time between last season and spring practices getting prepared physically, including shedding unnecessary weight. After tearing his ACL against Kansas State as a sophomore, he spent most of last offseason isolated in rehab. Once the season started he never appeared fully comfortable and Kansas' linebackers struggled as a whole. And though five pounds isn't normally considered a notable amount of weight to lose, Springer disagrees. He may have a case. "Five pounds is a big difference" Springer said. After five practices, Gill said that Springer had performed well in the spring and made a point to applaud Springer's leadership ability. "He's shown good movement," Gill said. "He's running from sideline to sideline and is able to shed blocks and get off blocks." That wasn't always the case last season when Springer recorded 25 tackles. Springer said that while playing against teams that generally featured running offenses, he could still feel the effects from his injury. And he said that made a noticeable difference. "One half-step too slow, you're not getting to the ball carrier, that guard is going to pull and he's going to get you," Springer said. "If you're one step faster, you're going to get to the ball every time." Springer said that he felt better heading into this season and added that all of Kansas' linebackers had improved at this point. "I think we're a lot faster this year," Springer said. "We give more effort, we're running to the ball a lot better and we're actually stronger than we were last year." TEAHAN TIRED OF ROLE AS BENCH-WARMER Speaking with the media for the first time as a football player on Monday, Conner Teahan made one thing clear: He doesn't want to just play football; he wants to compete for the starting job. "I didn't come here to sit on the bench like I've been doing on basketball." Teahan said. A two-sport star at Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo., Teahan decided to tryout for the football team this season because of the opportunity to play. "They were just unsure at the quarterback position and I just In high school Teahan received a scholarship offer to play football for Tulsa. He likely would have received more offers if he hadn't made it clear that he wanted to play college basketball. thought I might as well give it a try and not regret it five years from now," Teahan said. "That was the biggest factor in my decision." Now he's attempting to play catch up with the rest of Kansas' quarterbacks. The difference is that he hasn't thrown a pass in a game since 2006. "I know that's something that will come back to me with practice," Teahan said. "Whereas the playbook, there's a lot of concepts, a lot of plays. As the quarterback, you have to know what everyone is doing." OTHER PLAYERS RECEIVING RECOGNITION FROM GILL Gill opened his interaction with the media Monday by naming players who have been impressive this spring In addition to Springer, those Gill listed were: freshman quarterback Jordan Webb, junior running back Angus Quigley, sophomore tight end Tim Biere, junior safety Olaitan Oguntodu, junior defensive tackle Jamal Greene and sophomore lnebacker Steven Johnson. "Those are some guys as far as names that jumped out here this past week and on Saturday," Gill said. POSITION CHANGES Gill revealed before Monday's practice that freshman quarterback Christian Matthews would see time as wide receiver in addition to his responsibilities as a quarterback. He also said that A.J. Steward would move from wide receiver to tight end and justin Puthoff would move from tight end to fullback.

Kovalchuk, the former Thrashers captain who was traded to the Devils two months ago, didn't score but returned to see the Thrashers eliminated from playoff contention for the ninth time in their 10-vear history. Dean McAmmond, Zach Parise and Travis Zajac scored and Brodeur stopped 19 shots. The Devils began the night tied with Pittsburgh for first place in the Atlantic Division and second place in the Eastern Conference.

Parise pushed the puck past Johan Hedberg 51 seconds into the second period, and Zajac scored 10 seconds into the third. Hedberg stopped 24 sinks. Kovalchuk made his first return to Atlanta since a Feb. trade that sent forward Niclas Bergfors and defenseman Johnny Oduya to the Thrashers. Atlanta general manager Don Waddel said he made the trade after Kovalchuk turned down contract extension offers of 12 years for $101 million and seven years for $70 million. Kovalchuk will become a free agent after this season. The Thrashers career scoring leader was booed when he came on the ice for his first shift. There were more boos when he was featured on the video board during a first-period break and when he handled the puck.

David Lee had the clinching basket and added 13 points and 11 boards for the Knicks, who won their second straight and temporarily avoided a third consecutive 50-loss season.

Gallinari scored 19 points in the third quarter to give the Knicks an 86-78 lead, but Robinson hit a them an 88-86 advantage on Michael Finley's three-pointer. Gallinari banked in a long jumper — originally called a three-pointer but overturned after replay — for a 102-101 lead with 36 seconds left. Chris Duhon came up with a steal and set up David Lee's basket that made it 104-101 with 7.3 seconds to play. The Celtics called time, but took way too long to swing the ball to the opposite side of the court, where Rasheed Wallace caught it too late to get off a shot. With Tracy McGrady (sore left knee) and Al Harrington (sore left ankle) joining Wilson Chandler (sore left groin) on the injured list, the Knicks had to look deep down the bench for scoring. They found it in Barron, a 7-foot center who signed last week from the NBA Development League and was playing his second game with New York. He hadn't started in the NBA since making 15 starts for the Miami Heat in 2007-08, but shot 8 of 13 and spent all night chasing down missed shots against Boston's frustrated front line. The Knicks led throughout most of the first quarter and were ahead 27-21 when it ended. Boston shot 63 percent in the second, briefly grabbing the lead late in the period before New York took a 53-52 edge into halftime. NOTES: Though Mike Krzyzewski has repeatedly said he's not interested in leaving national champion Duke for the NBA, Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni won't rule out coaching against him someday. D'Antoni is Krzyzewski's assistant on the U.S. Olympic team. "He's still only 62 years old. He's young, so I have no idea what he would do," D'Antoni said. "Wherever he goes, I do know that he would be successful, if he's coaching or running a business or whatever he wants to do. He's just pretty special." There have been reports this season that the New Jersey Nets would pursue Kryzyzewski. Knicks president Donnie Walsh said he wasn't sure if he would sign anyone with the Knicks' available roster spot. The spot opened Monday when the Knicks waived Cuttino Mobley, who retired last season because of a heart condition. The Knicks had to waive him before the end of the season to save the luxury tax on his salary.

Corey Thibodeaux MLB Orioles fall to Rays at Tropicana Field ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Carl Crawford drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the ninth inning to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 4-3 season-opening victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. Adam Jones, Luke Scott and Matt Wieters homered for the Orioles, who were unable to put the game away because of a lack of timely hitting with runners in scoring position. Evan Longoria homered in the sixth for the Rays, who loaded the bases in the ninth against Baltimore's new closer, Michael Gonzalez, with a single, double and an intentional walk. Crawford lined a 1-0 pitch into right field, driving in the winning runs before a sellout crowd of 36,973 at Tropicana Field. Rafael Soriano (1-0) got the win, despite struggling to get through the top of the ninth for Tampa Bay.

The Jayhawks were the odds-on favorite to win the National Championship right from the start. Kansas took a year to rebuild after winning the 2008 title and was primed to make history again. But then it happened. Kansas fell short and lost to Northern Iowa in the second round of the Big Dance. The dream was over, and for Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich, their collegiate careers were too. With a 33-3 record, Kansas made it five years in a row with at least 25 victories. The Jayhawks notched their sixth consecutive Big 12 regular season championship and earned a Big 12 Tournament title by defeating Kansas State in the final game. Senior guard Sherron Collins was named a finalist for the The end of this season was another reminder of just how quickly a great team can be knocked out of the NCAA Tournament. It happened in 1997 when No. 1 Kansas was knocked off by Arizona in the Sweet 16. It happened in 1998 when the top-seeded Jayhawks fell to the Rhode Island Rams in round two. And it happened again this season. But it is not worth it to dwell on this disappointing finish to a great season. Instead, this is the time to celebrate the Jayhawks' accomplishments this season. Naismith Award and Kansas lost just one game in conference play. This week, The Wave takes a look at the season as a whole, tracking the team from its first win against Hofstra to its stunning loss to Northern Iowa. The Wave also passes out its grades for the season, which are based on how the players' performances compared to their preseason expectations. It was clearly a great season and although it is hard to move on, Jayhawk fans can take solace in the team's latest accomplishments. Take time to relive the high points of this season. Remember the thrilling overtime victory against Kansas State in Manhattan, the 22 unanswered points on the road against Texas and the Big 12 Tournament Championship game. Remember the Jayhawks' 59th win in a row in Allen Fieldhouse, Sherron Collins's senior speech, and more league dominance. But more than anything, take time to think about just how much work the team put into this season and how much pressure they dealt with on a daily basis. All things considered, I think it was another good season. I hope you enjoy The Wave's review of the men's basketball season. Don't forget about the season's highlights or the excitement that came with watching a game in Allen Fieldhouse. It really is an experience that cannot be matched anywhere in the country. No matter how a season ends in Lawrence, it doesn't take long to get excited about the next year's team. Allen Fieldhouse will be packed for Late Night in October and the fans will be ready to see some more basketball. Get ready for another great season, but don't forget about the memories that the Jayhawks helped make this year.

Kansas scored 13 points off fast breaks in a 101-65 win against Hofstra. Henry leads Kansas to first victory In the two exhibition games, freshmen Elijah Johnson and Thomas Robinson had their breakout performances while Henry showed small flashes. Kansas coach Bill Self said until this game. Henry had been tentative about his role on the team. "The zone is designed for shooters," he said. "When they play zone, I know I'm going to be open." Xavier Henry wasted no time making his way into the national spotlight. He scored 27 points, leading the Jayhawks to a 101-65 victory against Hofstra Friday night. By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com Henry scored eight points in the first five minutes of the game and had 11 straight for the beginning of the second half. Showing his efficiency, he made eight of his 12 shots and went 5-of-8 in three-point shooting. Henry was wide open for many of his jump shots, noting Hofstra's defense as the reason. KAN 1 NOVEMBER 17,2009 Aldrich, Jayhawks hold off Tigers By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com ST. LOUIS — Memphis tried its best Mario Chalmers impersonation. And once again, Kansas came out on top. The Tigers missed the go-ahead three-point jumper as time expired, giving the Jayhawks a 57-55 victory in the Hall of Fame Showcase Tuesday night at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Junior center Cole Aldrich led the Jayhawks with 18 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks. But the biggest performance wasn't on the stat sheet. Favoring his right thigh with cramps, Sherron Collins had several visits with his trainer hoping to stretch it out. But Collins limped back to the locker room with around 7:30 left to go in the second quarter. With his team struggling to execute cohesive offense, he returned right when his team needed him.

Offensively, four separate Jayhawks tied for the team lead in points with twelve. The offensive performance signifies a massive turnaround for Kansas. In their last game, a narrow 55-57 victory over the Memphis Tigers, the Jayhawks had a shooting percentage of 46.5, but only made 20 baskets. Kansas also locked down Central Arkansas on the defensive side of the ball.The Jayhawks forced 18 turnovers and held the Bears to a 25.5 field goal percentage on 14 makes out of 55 field goal attempts.

Morris finished with a career-high 19 points, including two 3-pointers and 11 rebounds in the 89-59 victory. Henry chipped in 19 along with a trio of 3-pointers. Aldrich was recovering from a bout of the flu and Kansas coach Bill Self said he was told Collins felt nauseous at halftime, though Collins did play in the second half. The All-American duo combined for only 13 points. There were still other standouts in the game. Self marveled at Morris' breakout performance. "I thought he was the best player in the game," Self said. "He showed a little bit of everything — he showed range, he showed post moves." Henry had a solid outing, hitting 7 of 10 Weston White/KANSAN KANSAS 0 Freshman forward Thomas Robinson takes the ball in the paint against Oakland Wednesday night. Robinson played nine minutes, finishing one for four from the field. field goals, including three alley-coops from Collins.

Taylor led the Jayhawks with a season high 18 points in Kansas' 112-75 win. After a rough start to the season, Taylor put in extra time in the gym and it showed Friday. He said he hoped this game was the end of his slump. A few dunks were all it took for Tyshawn Taylor and Cole Aldrich to break out of their respective slumps Friday night. Taylor's shabby performance in previous games, like his seven turnovers against Memphis, had fallen short of optimistic pre-season expectations. However, his aggressive offensive play Friday night was a good sign for the Jayhawks. "I was getting open shots in other games," he said. "They just weren't falling for me. I knew it was going to come eventually." By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com Taylor scored a season-high 18 points in the Jayhawks' 112-75 victory against the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles. "I think it's over," Taylor said. "I feel good, I'm happy. I just have to keep working." ALCORN STATE S DECEMBER 2, 2009 Huge run puts away Alcorn State By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com Freshman forward Thomas Robinson finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds Wednesday, logging his first career doubledouble in the 98-31 domination of Alcorn State. With a 36-0 run in the first half, one point shy of the NCAA record, the Jayhawks could have easily let up and played soft. Robinson said. But Kansas coach Bill Self kept his players aggressive. "He kept preaching to us we need to respect our opponents no matter what the score is." Robinson said. Cole Aldrich finished with a doubledouble of his own, putting in 13 points on 5-6 shooting and 16 rebounds to go along with three blocks.

No matter the situation, he doesn't change his nonchalant demeanor. "It's just how I am," Morris said. "I'm just laid back. I just like to smile when things are going bad." The result was a season-high 19 points for Morris, leading Kansas to a 73-61 victory against UCLA Sunday. He shot 8-for-11 from the floor and added six rebounds. But during practice last week, that attitude caught up to him. Kansas coach Bill Self accused Morris of a lack of aggression and a lazy attitude. "I just ran with it," Morris said. "I just felt like I had a chip on my shoulder coming into the game." "Markieff was our best player today, without question." Self said. "I thought he played terrific."

Elijah Johnson replaced Tyshawn Taylor in the starting lineup during the Kansas' 99-64 victory against Radford Wednesday. "Coach just mentioned it to me yesterday,"he said. "I didn't think too much of it.I just saw it as an opportunity." Johnson finished with a career-high 11 points and made every sort of play you can make as a point guard. Johnson gave the Jayhawks a playmaking penetrator and a pesky defender. His first start was short-lived though, with Johnson having two fouls in the first four minutes. He came back in with just under six minutes to go in the first half and quickly made up for his absence with a three. Starting the game on the court is more comfortable, Johnson said, and it showed in his performance tonight.

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If a career-high 31 points is an "alright" game in Xavier Henry's eyes, what would a good game look like? 4 ON "I don't know," Henry said. "It'll be a good day though when I'm better than average." Henry led the Jayhawks to a 90-65 victory against La Salle Saturday at the Sprint Center. He hit four out of his five three-point attempts and added six rebounds. Senior guard Sherron Collins listens to the crowd of 18,830 after a La Salle timeout. Kansas won 90-65 to move to remain undefeated at 9-0. "I played with the team and did what they told me to do," he said. "I just had to come out and be aggressive." The only reason this was an "alright" performance, he said, is because he was just following his coach's script without forcing his own shots. This was an ideal game for Henry to explode because Sherron Collins had serious difficulty finding his rhythm. He had a season-low five points on 1-of-12 shooting. But Self said to still win by 25 is a nice feat. Kansas coach Bill Self gave his young star the go-ahead to break the 30-point mark near the end of the game. Self said Henry's willingness to buy into the coach's selfless system is affecting his output.

Kansas defeated Michigan 75-64 Saturday, but the game had the team in a solemn mood. "I didn't think our body language was near as good as what it should be," coach Bill Self said. "There's a lot of things we can learn from this." Self said the team played well for the first 17 minutes. The rest was a wakeup call. The Jayhawks used a 23-4 run to grab a 41-18 lead with three minutes left in the first half, but Kansas let Michigan hang around after that. Marcus Morris had a career high 23 points to go along with 10 rebounds. Junior guard Brady Morningstar hits his only jump shot of Saturday mornings 75-64 win against Michigan. Morningstar returned to the Kansas lineup after serving his suspension, playing 22 minutes. 20 12 M Weston White/KANSAN KANSAS 84 Cal 69 CALIFORNIA DECEMBER 22, 2009 Kansas silences critics with victory Sherron Collins heard a lot of doubts about the Jayhawks leading up to Tuesday's game against California. By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com The talk about them losing to Cal or not being worthy of No.1, Collins said, just made the Jayhawks want to prove they weren't a fluke. "We took it in," he said. "It was just more flame to our fire. We took it personal. We just wanted to show everybody we can be No. 1." The Jayhawks beat the Golden Bears 84-69, and unlike Michigan, coach Bill Self said, they looked good throughout — especially in the end. "This was by far the best we executed offensively when it mattered and it doesn't hurt when you shoot the heck out of the ball," Self said. All five starters scored in double figures, Collins leading the way with 17 points, 3-6 from three point range.

After spending the past month with a mysterious illness, it seemed Aldrich has returned to form after spending a few days with his family in Minnesota. "I'm just kind of getting over the little bug or whatever I had and just trying to stay healthy again" he said. The stat sheet looks pretty for Aldrich and the 30 point differential made this look like a solid performance, but Kansas coach Bill Self had his issues. "Regardless of the score," he said, "that wasn't a very good performance tonight in large part because we didn't play with any energy or any toughness." 22 Jerrv Wana/KANSAN Sophomore forward Marcus Morris slams down a dunk early in the first half against Belmont.

THE WAVE APRIL 7,2010 + THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SEASON IN REVIEW + KANSAS 84 52 TEMPLE 7 JANUARY 2, 2010 Z Morris twins, Jayhawks roll past Temple By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com PHILADELPHIA — Before the game, Temple fans chanted, "This is our house." They must have forgotten it was also the home of the Morris twins. Marcus and Markieff Morris, the Philadelphia natives, had quite the homecoming, easily handling No. 18 Temple with an 84-52 victory Saturday. "Coming home and getting a victory, thats always nice," Marcus said. The twins combined for 18 points and seven rebounds and they even brought a little piece of home court to the Liacouras Center. Given 30 tickets to bring whomever they wanted, the twins filled the whole section behind the Kansas bench with Morris fans. A surprising amount of other Jayhawk fans made it to the game as well. "It was big to play in front of my family and my friends,to finally get a game at home,"Markieff said. "I haven't played here since high school and it felt good to play in this building." Markieff finished with five points and four rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench. His brother Marcus had 13 points, with a shining moment coming early in the second half. Temple guard Ryan Brooks passed the ball to teammate Craig Williams, but instead of catching it, Williams let it bounce off his face. It seemed the players thought the ball went out of bounds and play would come to a halt. In wake of the odd occurrence, Marcus Morris took the live ball and ran it down for a one-handed slam in front of his home crowd. He said he was tired and could have done something more with it, but it was enough to send the Kansas fans into an uproar. Upon further inspection on the dunk, you could see Morris cupped the ball instead of palmed it. "I've got small hands, so I never palm it," he said. "I always cup it and dunk it. "It's kind of like my trademark, you know what I mean?" It was evident from the get-go the Jayhawk fans wouldn't let the Temple fans overwhelm them. Cole Aldrich, who finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds, was even shocked at the amount of blue in the stadium. "We have a great following," he said. "I was a little surprised at how many people were there. The great thing is there's Jayhawk fans all across the country." The Jayhawks came out with a 10-3 run, while creating a lot of missed opportunities. The Owls eventually found their stroke, bringing the score within two with about eight minutes to go in the first half. An 8-0 run broke the game open for the Jayhawks, slowly building their way to a 40-23 lead at the half. Much to the Jayhawk's benefit, the Owls kept jacking up ill-advised threes and eventually went ice-cold, going 5-29 from three-point range. Temple shot an abysmal 25 percent from the floor for the game. Despite his displeasure of giving up 29 three-point shots, Kansas coach Bill Self said this was a step in the right direction for his team finding their identity. "That was the most in-tune we've been defensively all year," he said. Temple fans expressed their displeasure, saying this was their worst performance of the season and started leaving eight minutes before the game was finished. After the game, hordes of friends and family engulfed the players, showing not only how close the team is, but how the whole Kansas following is connected. Self said this game was crucial in getting his team to become an actual "team." "Something happens where they kind of grow and bond together and I don't think we've achieved that yet," Self said. "I thought today was a big step forward in doing so."

He just sat on the floor and nodded his head in satisfaction. It was that kind of night for the senior guard. Collins finished the game with a career high 33 points, helping bail out Kansas against Cornell, 71-66 Wednesday night. In a game where it seemed nothing was going right for the Jayhawks, Collins was and it was all that mattered. "Tonight was like a tournament game," he said. "When things aren't going good, you've got to find some way to win and I was that way to win." As deep as the Jayhawk bench is, it seemed no one came to their point guard's aid. There were a few clutch shots here and there, but 36.7 percent from the floor was almost too much to overcome. Junior center Cole Aldrich had 13 points, nine rebounds and three blocks but it could have been so much more if the ball rolled in the Jayhawk's favor. "It gets maybe a little bit frustrating," Aldrich said. "You know you just have it and it's just not going in." The only other Jayhawk to score more than four points was freshman guard Xavier Henry. He scored 14 including three from longrange. But it took him 13 shots (he only made three) and Henry's teammates didn't do much better. KANSAS KANSAS 21 KANSAS K. HENRY 1 "My goodness," he said.

In Kansas coach Bill Self's eyes, his team is still searching while Tennessee's tumultuous week helped them upset the top ranked Jayhawks 76-68 Sunday. "I don't know if Tennessee was a team until this past week," Self said. "I don't know if Kansas is a team yet." **Above:** Freshman forward Thorne Robinson holds his hands on his head after a three-point basket by Tennessee guard Skylar McBee. "I would say a majority of teams in America right now haven't found themselves yet." Self explained there are circumstances, whether good or bad, that make a team united. Winning a game you aren't supposed to win for example, can help solve a team's identity crisis, he said. The Volunteers lost four players due to an incident in Knoxville on Jan. 1 and kicked their best player, Tyler Smith, off the team. With a roster of ten players they were able to unite and defeat the top team in the nation. Whether or not this loss is enough to do the same for Kansas will remain to be seen. Senior guard Sherron Collins said all the team can do at this point is look to win at Nebraska. "We've pretty much got to take it out on somebody else," he said. Once again, Collins was the bright spot of the Jayhawks, leading the game with 22 points. He did everything he could to rally his team like he did against Cornell, but came up short. "They just wanted it more than us," Collins said. "We weren't tough enough." Junior center Cole Aldrich, who had seven points and 18 rebounds, gave credit to his opponents for their grit. "They kind of huddled together as a group and really fought hard," he said. Aldrich has seen upset losses in his day. But one seemingly devastating period in 2007 turned out to be a blessing. "We lost three of five my freshman year, he said," and I don't think we would have won a national championship if we hadn't lost three of five." Losing, Aldrich said, makes a team aware of their vulnerabilities. When a team molds together to sew up those weaknesses, he said, that is when success can occur. But the Jayhawks looked anything but molded. Self said his team had a "me first" **Right:** Tennessee guard Skylar McBee hits a three-pointer just before the shot clock expired with 36 seconds on the clock.

After trailing virtually past the six minute mark in the first half, the Jayhawks started unraveling in the last few minutes. With several offensive possessions, they couldn't muster up many shots. Poor passes, turnovers, and a deafening crowd made the comeback nearly impossible. That had one last chance that was just as quickly taken from them. Kansas got a turnover and Collins found a wide open Brady Morningstar with 1:10 left to go bringing the deficit to three, 68-71. With 36 seconds left and the shot clock running down, Skylar McBee threw up a miracle three to essentially seal the victory for the Vols.

Lincoln, Neb. — Marcus Morris hasn't seen the bench since the second game of the season. He hasn't seen a performance like this all season. It wasn't so much the 19 points and seven rebounds that helped Kansas to an 84-72 victory against Nebraska Wednesday. It was his toughness. "I feel as though if I was aggressive earlier in the season, I would get a lot of points and a lot of offensive rebounds," Morris said.

KANSAS 89 63 Marcus Morris said he will try to exert this kind of effort on a daily basis in practice and in the games. With Cole Aldrich continuing his streak of sub-par play with six points and nine rebounds in 21 minutes, Morris was there to pick up the slack. "I may start Thomas again, I don't know," Self said. "I haven't been happy with the twins' energy or effort since Christmas. But tonight and since the Tennessee game, their effort's been fabulous." "I just try to be the energy guy," he said. "I know my role on this team and my role on the team is to get extra possessions and get guys shots and try to be effective on the offensive end, too."

JANUARY 16,2010 Texas Tech no match for Kansas By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com When analyzing his team's performance in Saturday's 89-63 waxing of Texas Tech, Kansas coach Bill Self was more impressed with his bench than anything. "You looked out there today if you're going to pick who our five best players are, it wouldn't be probably all the starters, which I think is a positive thing." Self said. "It means you have depth." That statement was most likely an exaggeration, but arguably, the two best Jayhawks were sixth men Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar. Reed said there isn't a set sixth man on this team, just a bunch of guys who give sparks off the bench. "I think it's a team effort off that bench," he said. "It doesn't really matter who comes off first, who comes off whenever. I think we've got a lot of guys who can bring something to the table."

Kansas defeated Texas Tech 89-63 for the Jayhawks' second victory in Big 12 play. steals, but the hustle plays were his biggest contribution, getting extra possessions for the Jayhawks. The same can be said of Morningstar who had eight points and four assists. "I thought they were everywhere for the most part," Self said. "And of course they made some plays they shouldn't have made and some turnovers they usually do a better job of taking care of the ball." KANSAS 81 75 BAYLOR JANUARY 20,2010 Jayhawks survive challenge from Bears By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com Since the beginning of conference play, there's been a new Marcus Morris. Morris, the sophomore forward who coach Bill Self has deemed most improved from last year, hasn't shown that improvement all season. But his game against Baylor showed he may be over his deficiencies Morris had 22 points and eight rebounds in Kansas' 81-75 victory against Baylor Wednesday. Even though senior guard Sherron Collins and junior center Cole Aldrich are considered the leaders of the team, Morris is slowly earning that title as well. Whether it was the benching at Nebraska or being pulled aside by teammate Brady Morningstar and his coaches, Morris has turned his flashes of brilliance and lulls of non-existence earlier this season, and his benching three games ago, for the better. "We know who our leaders are and I'm just trying to lead by example." Morris said.

"You can call it a slump, but I just know if I keep shooting the ball, I'm going to get better"; Henry said. Following his 15-point performance at Texas last Monday, Henry had 16 against Iowa State, leading the Jayhawks to a 73-59 victory. Since the start of conference play, a new Henry emerged — one that hasn't been much of a factor in Big 12 games. He said the high level of play in the conference had nothing to do with him scoring double figures only four times in 10 conference contests. But Henry said he has done virtually nothing to correct the problem. "There's little things I tweak and stuff like that, but other than that, it's just my mindset," Henry said.

THE WAVE APRIL 7,2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN --- + SEASON IN REVIEW 11 KANSAS 84 65 MISSOURI JANUARY 25, 2010 Jayhawks run past Tigers in Allen Fieldhouse By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com Call it home field advantage. Call it the thrill of the Border Showdown.Call it showing off on national television. No matter what you make of it, a beat down is a beat down. The Missouri Tigers pleaded no contest, losing 65-84 to their bitter rivals Monday night. Junior guard Tyrel Reed has known this rivalry all his life. And for the Jayhawks to stick it to the Tigers like this is the ultimate satisfaction. "Every time we go against them, I want to beat them as bad as we can," he said. Reed tied a career-high with 14 points and made all four of his three-point attempts. After the game, he recounted his involvement in the rivalry from a young age. "Since I was a little kid, I've known about the Kansas/ Missouri rivalry," Reed said. "You know, being in grade school and not liking the kid next to you because he's a Missouri fan. It's just that big a deal to people around here and I just have a great time playing them." Reed finished with a seasonhigh 14 points off the bench, going 4-4 from beyond the arc. The crowd was thundering and the Jayhawks came into the poised. Especially Cole Aldrich. "A lot of fun," Aldrich said. "It's a big rivalry game. You always are amped up for a rivalry game and at home, having the great fans we had tonight, it was even more fun." Aldrich completely dominated the paint against Mizzou's offense, falling three blocks short of a triple double. He had 12 points and 16 rebounds. But all wasn't perfect for Kansas. The Jayhawks turned the ball over a whopping 23 times.The Tigers only had five. The second half wasn't as dominant as the first,either,but coach Bill Self wasn't sorry for the final outcome. "We just kind of traded baskets the second half," he said. "But I'm not going to sit here and apologize for beating Mizzou by 19." The Jayhawks went into the locker room up 50-30 at the half thanks to a buzzer beating a three by Brady Morningstar that looked at first like it was going to rim out. "It's always a battle," Aldrich said of the rivalry. "We were up 20 at half, but they continued to fight. They showed some great poise." Xavier Henry looked back to his old self. The bad news was all the calls went against him whether it was a berserk turnover or the ball rolling just off the rim. He finished with nine points and five turnovers, but he did look better despite the numbers. Sherron Collins didn't have to do much and nor did he, finishing with six points on 2-11 shooting. Now the Jayhawks go on the road to face their other rival, Kansas State. Looking good on most facets of the game, Reed is ready to play the highly contested matchup. "We've got a little momentum here," he said. "Might as well face them right away." KANSAS 22 Weston White/KANSAN Sophomore forward Marcus Morris hits a shot underneath the basket. Morris led the Jayhawks with 17 points and nine rebounds on Jan. 25 against Missouri. Kansas won 84-75 to move to 19-1 on the season before facing Kansas State on Jan. 30. Weston White/KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE APRIL 7,2010 --- + 12 FEATURE COLLINS 4 Weston White/KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN + FEATURE 13 + SHERRON COLLINS' HOME SWEET HOME Rediscover the point guard's journey from Chicago to Allen Fieldhouse Editor's Note: This story appeared in the March 3, 2010 issue of the University Daily Kansan. By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com 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. W 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 22 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 to 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 people support me," 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." But not everyone has the same benefits Collins had as a child. 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 a 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." 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 was where he made his mark. 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 victims of his basketball prowess. At Richard T. Crane Tech High School, Collins averaged 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists in his senior season. "When I was coming up, I had to make my name against somebody that was a household name." Collins said. "That's just how it is in Chicago." When Collins came to Kansas, his new life began. "I was kind of set on coming here already," Collins said. "It was between Kansas and Illinois. But after Late Night, I was sold. I was ready to commit immediately." But it wasn't an easy transition. Dealing with the death of his 10-day old baby, Sherron Jr., and the culture change from Chicago to Lawrence. Collins came into camp overweight. Self told him to lose almost 30 pounds or he wouldn't play. 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. "Itried 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." 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." 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. 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 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. "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 his thought process and to mold him to what he could potentially become and he embraced that." As he grew into a leader on the court,he also had to become more of one off the court. 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 up," 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." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN C++ THE WAVE APRIL 7,2010 14 SEASON IN REVIEW KANSAS 81 79 KANSAS STATE JANUARY 30, 2010 Collins, Jayhawks pull out big win at K-State ATE 3 21 Senior guard Sherron Collins drives to the basket for a lay-up and a drawn foul to put Kansas up by three, 79-76 with nine seconds left in overtime. Collins missed the free-throw but the miss fell into the hands of junior center Cole Aldrich. Collins finished with 16 points and four assists in the Jayhaws' 81-79 victory. Weston White/KANSAN By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com MANHATTAN — Combine the game-winning lay-up against Cornell and locker room return against Memphis, and you have Sherron Collins' latest masterpiece. The heroes Collins showed in the second half and overtime of the 81-79 victory against Kansas State Saturday were good enough to win an award for "Best Drama." "He has a flair for the dramatic," coach Bill Self said. With sophomore forward Marcus Morris fouling out of the game and junior center Cole Aldrich trying to avoid the same fate in the game's final minutes, the Jayhawks needed their leader to take over. But when Collins limped off the court late in the second half because of cramps, the Jayhawks were without their go-to man. Collins returned to the game with about a minute left in overtime, and the Jayhawks leading 77-76. Self drew the same play Collins used to topple Cornell earlier this season and it yielded the same result. He drove to the hoop, put up a wild shot and sank it while drawing the foul. "Really, I was just trying to get fouled and get to the line, but it was open so I scored it," Collins said. "It felt good. Especially against K-State." With 16 points and four assists, Collins said he tweaked his ankle at one point. But it was cramps from pregame warm-ups that caused him to leave the game. "I think I wasted too much energy just waiting on the game," Collins said."Coach had to tell me in pregame to calm down." For the Jayhawks to win that game, they needed a player not only with the skill set, but the will to carry his team to victory in the most dire situations. Luckily, Collins is that type of player. "He's the best player in America to me," junior guard Brady Morningstar said. "He's huge for us in the clutch. When we need a score, we give the ball to him and he goes and does what I call'makes money." In the first half, the two best players were the starting big men. Aldrich had 18 points and 11 rebounds, but had to play less aggressively so he wouldn't foul out late in the game.Morris had 13 points and 10 rebounds and fouled out with about four minutes to go in regulation. And like so many times before, Aldrich watched as his teammate took over in the waning minutes. "If anybody, I want Sherron taking the shot," he said. "I love Sherron. We've been through so much and I've got all the confidence in him in the world." To keep the game close when Collins sat out, the Jayhawks needed sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor's 12 points and Morningstar's 14. With three of their top four scorers laboring, Morningstar said the whole team had to step up. Collins scored a total of 17 points in his previous two games, both blowouts. Looking back at Memphis, Cornell, Nebraska and Baylor, just to name a few games Collins took over in this year, he isn't surprising anybody at this point. "We need to learn how to play without a couple of our key players and that's how you grow up as a team," he said. "I'm not shocked at all," Morningstar said, "I see it in practice, I see it in games. He's a ball player, that's what he does." With No.1 Kentucky losing earlier in the week and No.2 Kansas toppling a No.11 K-State team, the No.1 ranking is most likely back with the Jayhawks. But Collins said being two games up in the Big 12 means more at this point. Playing the way they are right now, the Jayhawks have much loftier goals. "Rankings don't mean anything because at the end of the year, there's only going to be one No.1," Collins said.

Senior guard Sherron Collins and junior center Cole Aldrich led the way in scoring with 16 points a piece. Wednesday nights overtime game marked the Buffalooes' first time in history that they've sent a No.1 team into overtime. "That's the greatest thing we can see out of Colorado- just competing with everybody," junior center Cole Aldrich said. Aldrich, who finished with 16 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks, said this was the type of game that got people talking about teams like Colorado. After squeaking by Kansas State 81-79 in overtime Saturday, the history of Kansas at Colorado — now seven straight victories in Boulder — didn't seem like it would be this much of a contest. Junior center Cole Aldrich slaps down a shot attempt during the second half from Colorado guard Cory Higgins. Higgins scored 14 points against the Jayhawks Wednesday night in a 72-66 overtime victory. "A lot of people watch the games and say, Wow.

KANSAS 75 N 64 NEBRASKA FEBRUARY 6, 2010 Jayhawks pull away in 2nd half By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com It took the Jayhawks a while to figure it out, but the Cornhuskers came to play. After letting Nebraska hang around most of the game, Kansas finally pulled away in the second half in Saturday's 75-64 victory. "I felt like they came out with a vengeance and they wanted to win." Marcus Morris said. "We kind of came out on our heels." Leading most of the first half, the Jayhawks found themselves trailing 43-39 when the Huskers came out of halftime with an 8-2 run. From that point forward, Sherron Collins knew it was going to be a battle. "We finally realized they came to fight," he said. "This wasn't going to be one of those games where we go up 20 and they just give up." m Weston White/KANSAN Senior guard Sherron Collins claps his hands after sinking another three-point basket.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE APRIL 7,2010 . . : 16 SEASON IN REVIEW KANSAS 80 68 TEXAS FEBRUARY 8,2010 Big first-half run puts Longhorns away early By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeauxkansan.com AUSTIN, Texas — Marcus Morris sat after the game tapping his dislocated finger on the table. "I can't really feel it; it's cool!" he said about his right middle finger. "It's not going to stop me from playing. I tore something." Despite the damaged digit, Morris continued his Big 12 surge, leading the Jayhawks with 18 points and eight rebounds in their 80-68 victory against Texas Monday. But it wasn't as competitive of a game as most expected. In the first five minutes, Texas looked like the better team,and Kansas could do nothing except turn the ball over. All of a sudden, trailing 8-14, the Jayhawks came alive, going on a 22-0 run with solid defense and mistake-free offense. Finally, after a series of games where the Jayhawks looked anything like No.1, they showed it against the Longhorns. Xavier Henry had a strong showing with 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting, but didn't notice his team was taking over the previously ranked No.1 Longhorns. "I didn't even know we went on a 22-0 run. I was just excited to be playing," he said. "I knew we were scoring and playing good defense. I was just watching." They also showed on the glass, where the Jayhawks outrebounded the Longhorns 45-34 even though both were regarded as two of the biggest teams in the nation. "We have a lot of fault on our team as far as rebounding and defending," Morris said. "I think we came out real aggressive. I think we took the first punch and never let up." The length of the Longhorns did make life difficult for Cole Aldrich, Aldrich, who did have six blocked shots, went 2-of-10 from the floor and ended up fouling out with just under four minutes to go. He blamed his unsuccessful night on Texas' Dexter Pittman. "There's a few I should have kicked out, but there are some big guys down there," he said. Aldrich was hit with a technical for throwing an elbow after the play was blown dead. He said it was unintentional. Free throws off the technical and anandone play by Texas brought the Longhorns within eight with about 3:40 to go.

The All-American version of the junior center made one of his rare appearances this season, leading the Jayhawks with 19 points and 11 rebounds in their 84-61 victory against the Iowa State Cyclones Saturday. For the past few months, life took its toll on Aldrich. Bronchitis slowed him down earlier this season and his grandmother, Ann Aldrich, passed away last weekend after struggling with lung cancer. After the game, Aldrich displayed his characteristically upbeat attitude. "It just feels good to be back," he said. "I've been through a lot of slumps this year and been through a lot of stuff. It's tough. It weighs on me. But I'm just going out and giving my heart." Now Aldrich is healthy and has had time to grieve for his grandmother's passing. Coach Bill Self said those factors are the main reasons for his resurgence. "I do think that's a big part of it with him," Self said. "He's got a bit of a freer mind now." Aldrich even admitted this has been a disappointing season thus far. "I would say other than one game, I really haven't played up to my standards or the guys on the team's standards," he said. "Other than that Memphis game, I've been sub-par, but it's coming back for me." The other reason for his big performance Saturday was the attendance of his family, Aldrich said. His parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and more traveled from Bloomington, Minn., to Ames, Iowa as they do every year to see Aldrich play. "I don't even know how many family I had here," he said. "They're probably all sitting out there wearing some crimson and blue." THE WAVE APRIL 7,2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KANSAS 59 AM 54 TEXAS A&M SEASON IN REVIEW 17 FEBRUARY 15,2010 COLORADO Kansas holds off A&M's upset bid By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Whenever the Jayhawks have had a game on the line this season, they turned to Sherron Collins. But when his shots weren't falling, Collins' teammates bailed him out. The Jayhawks gave up 20 offensive rebounds, shot 1-for-10 behind the threepoint line and got just seven points from Collins. Kansas pulled out a 59-54 victory in front of a hostile crowd at Texas A&M Monday night. "I think sometimes we put too much pressure on him to make those plays." junior center Cole Aldrich said. "But we've got great guys on our team that can make those plays. Tonight just wasn't his night." It looked like an upset in the making, but Kansas' other stars picked up the slack. 74 Aldrich, sophomore forward Marcus Morris and freshman guard Xavier Henry each scored 12 points. As a team the Jayhawks had serious issues on the offensive end, shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 10 percent from three. "Tonight we were a little out of rhythm," Henry said. "It happens every now and then. We just rely on defense when that happens." The Aggies, who had a chance to beat then-No.1 Texas earlier this season, were up at halftime, 32-30. The score stayed close in the second half as the Jayhawks failed to put the game away with one of their typical runs. Texas A&M controlled much of the game but it only went up by as much as four. Coach Bill Self said he was impressed with his team's ability to scratch their way back into the lead. And the defense is what sealed the game. "They never got away from us," Self said. "The place was getting ready to go nuts if they did." FEBRUARY 20, 2010 Jayhawks roll past Buffaloes at home By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com The three starting guards for the Jayhawks were all jokes and smiles after Saturday's 94-74 victory against Colorado. Sherron Collins is tied as the winningest player in Kansas basketball history. Sophomore Tyshawn Taylor had 17 points and six assists in a solid return to the starting lineup. And freshman Xavier Henry is back to his early season high-scoring ways. But Henry didn't even have an opportunity to respond when asked if his 24-point, six rebound performance was a relief from his previous woes. "I'll answer it for him," Collins said. "Yes." Taylor got a jab in too. "He would have had 30 if he made some more threes,"Taylor said. This game was nothing like it was in Boulder, Colo. two and a half weeks ago. The Jayhawks led by as much as 27 Saturday and the Buffaloes never got within 10 in the second half. 11 Weston White/KANSAN Sophomore center Markieff Morris stretches over a Colorado defender for a dunk during the second half.

KANSAS 81 68 OKLAHOMA FEBRUARY 22, 2010 Kansas earns Big 12 title with win against Oklahoma By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com It was obvious who should carry off the Big 12 Conference Champion trophy. The Jayhawks, Big 12 champions 10 out of the last 14 seasons, extended their NCAA Division record with their 53rd conference championship. Senior guard Sherron Collins walked off the court hoisting his fourth regular-season championship — in trophy form. He scored 17 points in the 81-68 victory against Oklahoma, but carrying the trophy was his biggest challenge of the night. "Of course it was Sherron," freshman guard Xavier Henry said. "It was heavy," Collins said. "But it felt great just to have it." "That's one check,'Collins said. 'Now we can move onto the next one.' Collins didn't say what the next check was, but if one of them involves becoming the winningest player in Kansas history, he can cross that off with his 124th victory at Kansas. He has the titles and the awards, but he doesn't have the numbers - and that's alright with him. The senior guard will never go into the history books for the most points, assists or steals, but what he has is worth much more. "His legacy is only going to be on one thing: wins and losses," coach Bill Self said. "We're 13-0 and it didn't seem too difficult for us," Henry said. "They say it's a real tough conference, don't get me wrong, but we've been playing good lately and it just seems like we're going to keep running with it." This was the first accomplishment for the Jayhawks, breezing through a 13-0 Big 12 schedule. The ride, however, isn't over and Henry isn't ready to stop.

But his demeanor after the Jayhawk's 85-77 loss to the Cowboys was a sign 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." That pride comes from offensive execution and making defensive stops. None of those were prevalent on Saturday. On offense, the Jayhawks shot 46.6 percent from the field and were outrebounded by 10. "They were tougher than us tonight." 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 in to 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 to not 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." KANSAS 82 65 KANSAS STATE MARCH 3,2010 Jayhawks defeat Wildcats on senior night By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com With 30 seconds to go in the game, Sherron Collins buried his head in the stomach of junior center Cole Aldrich and wrapped his arms around him. The senior guard's time at Allen Fieldhouse was up. "I saw the subs coming," Collins said, "so I knew it was it." And it was the perfect way to go out, defeating No. 5 Kansas State 82-65 to capture the regular season Big 12 title outright. 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, sharing his experience with his All-American point guard. Among those was a list of all the faults Collins possessed when he came 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." 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 And Collins' 17 points actually were the difference — but not the reason — for Kansas' victory. The Jayhawks started hot, jumping out to a 18-6. 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, though the Jayhawks never gave up their lead. Kansas made the final, defining run late with a 16-2 burst. The two other players carrying the load for Kansas were freshman guard Xavier Henry, who had 19 points, and sophomore forward Markieff Morris, who came off the bench for 10 points and nine rebounds. They, too, fed off the energy created by Collins' last home game. "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." Senior guard Sherron Collins drives to the basket for his final basket in Allen Fieldhouse with 33 seconds left in the second half on March 3. Kansas won 82-65.

He filled out the stat sheet with five rebounds, six assists and three steals. COLUMBIA, Mo. — After receiving harassment all last week from what he assumed were Missouri fans, sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor made them think twice about messing with him again. But Taylor and the Jayhawks ruined Mizzo's fun as well as its senior night with a 77-56 victory Saturday. With the help of their bigs and their bench, the Jayhawks overcame the sloppy first half. Taylor said someone put up fliers all around campus with his phone number, saying he was selling a dog. As the phone kept ringing, Taylor's frustration grew. guard Xavier Henry combined for zero points in the first 18 minutes. "People had been calling me all day about it," he said. "I don't have a dog. Quit calling me." Sophomore forward Marcus Morris slams into the advertisement boards during the second half. Morris left the floor to get taped after fracturing the sign. He played as well as anyone in the game, but it was a struggle early. Taylor, senior guard Sherron Collins and freshman "That just goes to show how good of a team you are,"Taylor said."When you know that your bench can produce for you,it relieves a lot of pressure." MARCH 11,2010 Kansas wraps up 2,000th victory By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. - With 2,000 wins comes custom made shirts, pins, flags and all other sorts of memorabilia. Even though sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor is part of the Kansas team to accomplish this feat, he may not get to keep his goodies. "My mother's probably going to take it from me," Taylor said. "I'm going to wear this shirt out of here now and she'll take it right off me as soon as I get out there." Kansas won its 2,000th game in an 80-68 victory against Texas Tech in their first game of the Big 12 Tournament. Only Kentucky and North Carolina can claim to have 2,000 victories in their program, but Sherron Collins has other goals for the immediate future. It's his last season and he wants to play in every game he can. "Right now, we have a lot of games ahead of us so we won't too much focus on it," Collins said.

KANSAS 79 AIM 66 TEXAS A&M MARCH 12, 2010 Jayhawks survive challenge from Aggies By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Jayhawks have established an identity they don't want to have. No.1 Kansas beat No.24 Texas A&M 79-66 in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament Saturday, but it took 25 minutes of agonizing basketball to get there. The lackluster play has become a trend in recent weeks. "We were alight from an energy standpoint," senior guard Sherron Collins said. "We just played dumb and made mistakes." Collins finished with a game-high 26 points and he was the only reason the Jayhawks were even in the game early. They struggled in the early going for the second consecutive game,but this time it was the turnovers that did them in,not the shooting. They shot 56 percent from the floor in the first half but somehow still trailed 35-38. It was all because Kansas committed five turnovers in the first five minutes and 12 total in the first half. Sophomore forward Marcus Morris, who only played 11 minutes because of foul trouble, said this is the best preparation the team has had for the NCAA Tournament. But they have to apply the lessons if they want to survive. "In the NCAA tournament, we can't do that all the time," Marcus said. "We're going to try to come out and start this spark from the beginning." Recently, the Jayhawks are playing a style of basketball that anybody can play: get a lead, give it back, go back-and-forth with runs then blow the opponent out with the biggest run of the game. Is this the type of style Kansas basketball has come to? "I hope not," junior guard Tyrel Reed said "We don't want to be a team that just relies But in the past two games, that's exactly what they've done. They had a 12-0 run against Texas Tech and needed an even bigger one to topple Texas Tech. Sophomore Markieff Morris, who finished with 10 points, was glad to have the win, but it wasn't in the method he would have liked. "We want to make a run through the whole game," Markieff said. on our big runs." Kansas survived to the championship round where it awaits the winner of Baylor and Kansas State. No player or coach would openly admit a preference, but Self wants his team to play the Big 12 Championship with better effort than the first 25 minutes of this game. Senior guard Sherron Collins battles with Texas A&M guard Donald Sloan for a loose ball before taking it down the court for a lay-up. The lay-up gave Kansas a three point lead with 8:09 remaining in the second half.

So why were the Jayhawks were wearing warm-up shirts that said "Impossible is Nothing"? "They told us to wear them I guess," junior guard Brady Morningstar said. "It must be a promotion deal. I have no idea what that means but Kevin Garnett said that after he won a championship." That's the simple way to look at it. But sophomore forward Marcus Morris interpreted it to mean something deeper. Kansas beat Kansas State, for the third time this season, 72-64, and won the Big 12 championship all while finishing the season as the best team in the nation, as they started. Impossible or improbable, the Jayhawks did it. "It means to go win," Morris said. "It's not impossible to beat anybody three times. But it goes for the other team to. It's not impossible for us to get beat." Morris, who had a game-high 18 points said there were doubters coming into this game. Kansas had a troublesome game against Texas A&M Friday, turning the ball over 19 times and needing a huge run to bail them out. The also looked bad in the first half against Texas Tech. But the Jayhawks took care of the ball this time and played a clean game. The same can be said of K-State. "It's a championship game, you always want to play fired up," sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor said. The Wildcats had a lead midway through the second half, but junior guard Tyrel Reed, who had a career-high 15 points hit a three and K-State didn't lead after that.

KANSAS KANSAS 2 KANSAS 90 74 LEHIGH MARCH 18,2010 Jayhawks avoid first-round scare By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@kansan.com OKLAHOMA CITY — Six minutes into the game, the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks found themselves down 4-12 to the 16-seeded Lehigh Mountain Hawks. This was a day where the NCAA tournament got off to a zany start with numerous upsets. Those of most significance were No.3-seed Georgetown and No.4-seed Vanderbilt getting stunned in the opening round. "We didn't pay attention to upsets," senior guard Sherron Collins said. "We saw a couple but we weren't looking at it or worrying about an upset happening to us." Any worries of a historic upset were quickly dispelled and Kansas beat Lehigh 90-74. The No.16 seed has never beaten a No. 1 seed in tournament history and sophomore forward Markieff Morris had that in the back of his mind for the first part of the game.

In the wake of top-seeded Kansas' 69-67 loss to Northern Iowa Saturday, the locker room was unlike anything it has been this entire tournament: silent. "We take this loss together,"a sobbing Sherron Collins said."It hurts.We're grown men,but it hurts." Throw out all the numbers you want — the questionable fouls, the surprising Panther threes, and the starting Jayhawk frontcourt combining for 20 points. Sophomore forward Marcus Morris doesn't care about why they lost. The team considered the best in the nation is going home after two games. "There's no way this isn't a disappointment," Morris said."I still think we're the best team in the country and I think we deserve it more than anybody because of how hard we worked during the year." Now the team will not have a chance to solidify its stellar season. The Big 12 championship,the 33 wins, the All-American selections all for naught. "They played so good all year long that they raised everybody's expectation level and everybody's hope level to an all-time high because they were so good," coach Bill Self said."When you set yourself up like that sometimes things don't work out." The start of the game was all too familiar for the Jayhawk faithful — The Panthers couldn't miss a shot and burst out to a 10-2 lead. They didn't get called for a foul until halfway through the first half and went 15 minutes without a turnover. In a half they were never in, the Jayhawks went to the locker room facing a 36-28 deficit. But it's a long game and a situation like this called for one of those big runs the Jayhawks are notorious for shooting off. This time nothing came, but they were close. The Jayhawks had an 8-2 run late in the second half and brought the lead down to three. It looked like Kansas was about to erupt, but Northern Iowa kept hitting the needed shots. With 1:24 to go, Northern Iowa had an offensive rebound with a dunk to make the lead seven. Sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor followed by hitting two free throws. The Panthers turned the ball over on the ensuing possession and Marcus Morris turned it into two points from the free throw line. Clinging to a three-point lead, Northern Iowa's Kwadzo Ahelegbe stepped out of bounds on the inbounds pass and Collins scooped up a two-point layup. All the Jayhawks needed was a stop and a score. This was the moment the Jayhawks were waiting for. "I never lost hope," junior guard Tyrel Reed said. "I love all my teammates to death. I'd go to war with any of them and I knew that we wouldn't quit. We didn't and we came up short." But instead of running the clock out, Ali Farokhmanesh hit an open three. Reed raced down the court to drop off a pass to Morris, but was called for a charge. "I was pretty upset with myself," Reed said. "It was a stupid mistake on my part." Now the Jayhawks have extra time to reflect on this season — to grieve and to grow. Junior guard Brady Morningstar said they would continue implementing the quality that brought them to this point unity. Looking back, Reed said he would have dumped the ball off earlier or pitched it out wide. He admitted it was a straight up charge, but he can't turn back the clock. Down by four with 26 seconds left, the fate of the No.1 team in the nation was sealed. And all they accomplished this season was lost in an instant. NCAA Weston White/KANSAN Senior guard Sheron Collins sits alone in the locker room after being questioned by members of the media for nearly 20 minutes. Kansas is now 15-6 under coach Bill Self in NCAA Tournament play. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE APRIL 7,2010 : 22 FEATURE Passing out the grades By Corey Thibodeaux These grades are based on season expectations in comparison to the actual performance. Just because one player has a higher grade than another doesn't mean he did better; he just outperformed his own expectations. The Jayhawks were a very deep team this year, so consistency doesnt hold too much value unless it was extreme on either end. PENGYUAN ZHANG Marcus Morris No one put himself on the radar more dramatically than Morris did this season. Last year, even he admitted that he was lazy and had moments when he left everyone watching disappointed. But with a fierce offseason workout, Morris was able to hone his athleticism into a dominant force in the middle and he became the third leading scorer on the team. He averaged 12.8 points and 6.1 rebounds and, with Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and possibly Xavier Henry leaving for the NBA, he is the best returning starter for next year's team. Sherron Collins A He was great. Collins left the game against Memphis with cramps and came out of the locker room to help seal the victory. He had identical and one go-ahead shots in wins against Cornell and at Kansas State. In his final game at Allen Fieldhouse, it was a teary good-bye and Collins helped send K-State packing, 82-65. He was everything this team needed, but there were times when he hurt the team more than helped it. By no means should the loss against Northern Iowa fall solely upon his shoulders, but in a game where Collins needed to be the leader, he shot 4-for-15 from the floor, scored 10 points and turned the ball over five times B Yves Koehler Xavier Henry He showed flashes of brilliance many times this season. But being wedged into a team with Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins, it was hard to take the reins. Henry came in and immediately made his presence felt with 27 points in his first regular season game against Hofstra and he later had 31 points against LaSalle. When Big 1.2 play started, he went into a slump for about eight games, but broke out of it later. He was a freshman. Henry came here to become a better basketball player and the fact that his defense improved and he never once demanded any kind of attention speaks volumes to his improvement. Cole Aldrich B When you look at his body of work from last season and compare it to this season, it's hard to say Aldrich jumped up another level. In the first part of this season, he was going through some issues, such as his bronchitis affecting his play and his ill grandmother affecting his emotions. Then he began to round into shape and ended up demolishing the Kansas block record with 125. But he rarely took a game upon his shoulders when his team needed PHOTO BY JAMES NATHANSON B- Markieff Morris, Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar Only one thing kept these guys from truly excelling this season: playtime. When they were in the game, they were highly effective for the most part. Morris was just a step below his brother in post-effectiveness, but he couldn't quit fouling. Reed came on strong late in the season shooting the ball, but you could see his improvement on the defensive end throughout the year. Morningstar did what he usually does guarding the perimeter. His scoring just wasn't there this year, but he passed up most of his shots for his teammates. Tyshawn Taylor MICHAEL ALEMAN The balance of highs and lows equals a break-even season. Of course, Taylor started the season injuring his hand in a skirmish and he had some issues with Facebook posts, contributing to a horrible start to the season. But he eventually turned his season around and had a seven-game stretch where he had a 34:6 assist-to-turnover ratio. Taylor's offensive game picked up at the end of the regular season, but during the Big 12 and NCAA Tournaments, he couldn't make a lay-up, including a 0-for-6 performance against Northern Iowa. C+ GAME OF THE YEAR All three games against Kansas State C This is not because of the rivalry. The three Kansas wins each had a different significance this season. With the toughest competition all season, Kansas responded to each game with utmost poise In Manhattan — This game was the best of the season, plain and simple. It was College Game-day. The normal 40 minutes wasn't enough to determine a winner between these top-five teams. When the game reached overtime, it was quite the nail-biter until Sherron Collins took it upon himself to get to the rim, score and get fouled. The go-ahead bucket was one of the shining moments of the Jayhawks season. In Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas and K-State were on a crash course to this game since the Big 12 Tournament began. With the title at stake, both teams gave it all they had. The Jayhawks just had more to give. There were no big runs, there were no defining plays; it was just good basketball throughout. In Lawrence — Sherron Collins' senior night couldn't have been any better. In the Jayhawks crushed the Wildcats, 82-65, in a teary Allen Field-house sendoff for the senior guard. No team could have beaten the Jayhawks that night, as they came right out of the gate and rode their emotion all the way to victory. The game also clinched the regular season B12 title outright for Kansas. LOOKING AHEAD The 2008 team needed two first-round losses before it had enough hunger to take the NCAA title for themselves. For that reason, the 2010-11 team will outperform this season's team. Collins and Aldrich are gone, but there is plenty of talent left over. If recruit Josh Selby ends up signing with Kansas, the backcourt will have a combination of Selby, a more experienced Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson, and CJ Henry, who showed flashes of good things this year. Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar will have more of a leading role, but maybe the same amount of playing time. The power forward slot belongs to Marcus Morris. That is about the only sure thing next year and he will be counted on to lead. Markieff Morris will most likely have a big role as well. On defense, Jeff Withey has the length to cause serious Issues against the opposition. But if Thomas Robinson can make the same jump Aldrich and the Morris twins made from freshman to sophomore year, he could be scary. Robinson showed explosive athleticism and he was aggressive on offense, but he fouled and turned the ball over too much. If he can fix those issues, the Jayhawks will be a preseason Top-10 team.

Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN ECONOMY How we survived the Great Recession On-campus employers still filling student positions BY ALEESE KOPF akopf@kansan.com Despite the recession, student employment on campus has remained largely unaffected by the economic downturn. Student on-campus employment has remained at about the same level for the past decade. The University employed 4,721 students last year and 4,802 in 2000. Employment has varied only by about 100-200 students in the past decade. Students make up 48.2 percent of the total number of employees at the University, which includes faculty, university support staff and unclassified non-faculty staff. That number has stayed consistent during the past few years. Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services, said the department had been able to avoid downsizing its staff despite budget concerns. Recreation Services, which is the department in charge of the Ambler Student Recreation Center, still hires more than 200 students each year. "Students are our lifeblood in regards to our daily operations," Chappell said. "These individuals are placed in leadership positions on a daily basis." The total number of student applications sent out to campus employers each month is significantly higher than the current number of student employees. For the 2006-2007 academic year, stu dents sent 21,149 applications. In 2008- 2009, that number jumped to 28,835. All campus jobs are now listed online, which caused the increase in applications after switching from the paper system in 2004, said Ann Hartley, assistant director of student employment at the University Career Center. "It has always been challenging for students to find an on-campus job because of the competition for these positions," Hartley said. "I recommend that students who want to work next fall start looking at spring job postings." Hartley said that student employment rates hadn't changed significantly since the recession but that students still had a hard time finding jobs. Depending on the month, on the month, anywhere from 1,100 to 6,100 appli- SEE JOBS ON PAGE 3A Lawrence endures economic woes BY ZACH GETZ While the national unemployment rate hovers around 10 percent, Lawrence is tied for eighth lowest in the country with a 4.6 unemploymentrate,according to a December 2009 Bureau of Labor Statistics report,the UNEMPLOYMENT RATES (AS OF DECEMBER 2009) Lawrence: 4.6% Kansas City 8.6% metro area: Manhattan: 4.5% Lincoln, Neb.: 4.1% Ames, Iowa: 4.6% National average: 10% Bureau of Labor Statistics As the nation struggles through its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, Lawrence has weathered the storm rather well — at least in terms of unemployment. zgetz@kansan.com Manhattan has the sixth lowest at 4.5 percent, and Ames, Iowa, ties Lawrence with the eighth lowest at 4.6 percent. most recent report available. "Colleges tend to be countercyclical as far as economies go, and funding won't get cut in a recession," said Roger Zalneraitis, Lawrence economic development coordinator. "As a result, you wind up having less unemployment and fewer people getting laid off." Several of the Big 12 college towns are in the top 10 lowest unemployment rates in the nation. Lincoln, Neb., has the second lowest rate at 4.1 percent. In fact, all of the Big 12 cities are well below the national average. All 11 Big 12 cities - Stillwater and Norman are both counted in Oklahoma City's data - are in the top 65 lowest unemployment rates out of 347 metropolitan areas. All have an unemployment rate under 7 percent. John Pagen, vice president of economic development for the Manhattan area Chamber of Commerce, said a large number of service-related jobs, such as restaurants and retail stores, could keep unemployment rates low because they employ dozens of people and are always opening new stores. Graduating students and students taking a semester off can cause a lot of turnover, which also keeps the unemployment levels low. Universities are always bringing people in research positions, such as many of the lab jobs and projects on West Campus, which helps create new jobs that require higher education degrees. Pagen said. "There's always so much going on in a college town," Pagen said. "There's all this activity, and we've been fortunate to have a lower unemployment rate because of it." In December 2007, Lawrence's unemployment rate was 3.6 percent while the national average was 5 percent. Between December 2007 to December 2008, the unemployment rate rose 2.4 percent nationally and 0.5 percent in Lawrence. Between December 2008 and December 2009, the national unemployment rate rose 2.6 percent, and Lawrence maintained its 0.5 percent increase.

Funding approved to clean up Potter Lake BY ANNIE VANGSNES anniev@kansan.com The Potter Lake Project's two year effort to clean up the pond paid off Wednesday evening after Student Senate approved $58,000 in funding to hydraulically dredge Potter Lake. Student Senator J.J. Siler, a senior from Overland Park who has worked with the project since last semester, said the dredging would combat the current buildup of about 30 feet of sediment in the lake. Through dredging, hydraulic pistons are inserted through the sludge to the bottom of the lake. The sediment is then lifted out without changing the water level. "It itkes a careful balance." Husch said. For about two years, the Potter Lake Project has been working to beautify the lake by suggesting improvements for the area and collecting donations. Ezra Huschur, a senior from Salina and treasurer for the project, said too much sediment could offset the natural equilibrium of the lake. The large amount of algae and vegetation depletes the water's oxygen level, making it hard for animals to survive. Melissa Allen, a senior from St. Louis and vice president of the project, said all man-made lakes, such as Potter Lake, need to be dredged routinely to sustain them over time. Allen said dredging the lake was not the group's top priority because SEE LAKE ON PAGE 5A SENATE Separate fee keeps Kansan funding BY ERIN BROWN ebrown@kansan.com Funding provided to The University Daily Kansan from student fees will remain intact for the 2010-2011 academic year after a vote by Student Senate Wednesday evening. The full Student Senate met to debate the student fee review sub-committee's bill, which called for a $1.70 cut to the $4 campus media fee and the elimination of the Student Media Board allocating funds to The Kansan. Senate ultimately approved creating a separate subscription fee for The Kansan under the Newspaper Readership Program, which provides other local and national newspapers to students.

ODD NEWS Judge issues arrest warrant over DVD LITTLETON, Colo. — A longtime Colorado judge has been fired after issuing an arrest warrant for a teenager over an overdue library DVD. Municipal Judge James Kimmel issued the warrant after 19-year-old Aaron Henson failed to show up in court Jan. 14 over the overdue DVD, "House of Flying Daggers". On Jan. 25, police stoped the teen for speeding and held him for nearly eight hours after discovering the warrant. Henson had moved and didn't received the summons to court. The teen said he had packed the DVD in a box, and returned it about a week before Henson issued the warrant. The library notified the judge the DVD was back. City encourages meatless reflection The Littleton City Council fired Kimmel, a judge for nearly 30 years, at its meeting Tuesday night. Kimmel declined to comment to The Denver Post. SAN FRANCISCO — Besides approving rules against using plastic grocery bags, mixing recycling with compost, and smoking in sidewalk cafes, San Francisco supervisors have passed a resolution asking residents to observe meatless Mondays. San Francisco supervisors passed the resolution Tuesday for no-meat Mondays in their latest legislative endorsement of healthy, eco-conscious living. It cannot stop the city's residents from eating meat.Instead, it is meant to call attention to the relationship between diet and climate change. To some, the resolution is a welcome reminder of the small part that residents play in solving a larger problem. Others, however, were left asking for Board of Supervisor-Free Fridays. Most shrugged it off as another one of those"only in San Francisco"initiatives that many forget about soon after passage. Escapee's smoke break ends in arrest WOODBINE, Ga. — Authorities say an inmate who broke out of jail, then returned after stealing 14 packs of cigarettes, has been sentenced to 20 years. Prosecutors told The Florida Times-Union that inmate Harry Jackson, 26. escaped his cell at the Camden County Jail last year and went to the exercise yard to retrieve cigarettes he had expected would be tossed over a fence. They say that when the contraband wasn't there, Jackson scaled the fence, broke a window at a convenience store and grabbed cigarette packs only to be arrested upon his return. Jackson pleaded guilty to burglary and escape charges Monday. Prosecutors say he had been jailed on charges including driving with a suspended license. His lawyer, William Ashe, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment. H Associated Press CRIME REPORT At 3:20 p.m. Tuesday, someone pulled a false fire alarm at K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 2010 / NEWS --- 3A JOBS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) cations are distributed. August and January are the most popular months. Hartley said. Some departments, such as KU Libraries and Recreation Services, may receive 60 to 100 applications for a single job. Campus employers who want to hire a student for an hourly position must post the position online for at least three days. Some positions may be posted for a week while others remain online for several months. Nearly 80 student hourly positions are currently posted online, some of which have been up since November, but others were posted just this month. "As long as departments still have funding available, they will be able to hire and fill their student positions," Hartley said. "Based on the total number of students employed on campus, I would say it has not changed very much." KU Libraries, the Department of Student Housing, Dining Services, the Recreation Center. The University Daily Kansan and summer orientation assistants probably have the most positions each year, she said. The seven libraries employ 304 students and have an annual student personnel budget of $818,000, which has remained relatively stable, said libraries spokeswoman Rebecca Smith. Smith said she preferred students to have work study experience, but employers at KU Libraries generally look at the needs of the position and hire the person who can best fill it. The Federal Work Study Program helps students pay for school by providing them money through part-time employment. She said that the libraries changed their hiring habits a little bit given the current budget but that library positions had always been relatively competitive. Chappell said she had noticed a high retention number throughout the recession. In some years, up to 70 percent of students come back to work the same job the next semester, which allows for consistency with training and service, she said. Stephanie Thompson, a senior from Shawnee, works for both the Recreation Center and Dining Services. She took the positions in January 2008 and has been employed since. Hartley said she hadn't noticed any significant changes in hiring trends, such as looking for more students with work study, lessening the amount of hours or lowering the amount of pay. Students on a student hourly payroll can work up to 30 hours per week during the school year and 40 hours during breaks. The campus minimum wage is currently $7.50 an hour, but Hartley said many student hourly jobs were posted at a wage between $8 and $9 an hour. A University salary freeze doesn't allow any increase in student wages. "It has been very difficult to freeze salary increases when student employees continue to do great things every day in their jobs," Chappell said.

The event is invitation-only. O'Connor will visit with law students, faculty and alumni. She will also speak during a constitutional law class and have lunch with a small group of law students and professors. "The opportunity to host Justice O'Connor means so much to me," said Gail Agrawal, dean of the School of Law. "Justice O'Connor has been an inspiration for so many lawyers, and I include myself in that number. I remember so clearly the day she was appointed to the court. I was in law school at the time, and as several classmates and I watched the news coverage together, we could also hear a glass ceiling shattering for us. Her visit is a great honor for the law school." O'Connor was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan and was the court's first female justice.

His response: a harassment complaint at the local courthouse. "If I'm found guilty on this it is going to be open season on parents," Denise New said Wednesday. New, of Arkadelphia, a small college town an hour southwest of Little Rock, said many of her son's postings didn't reflect well on him, so after he failed to log off the social networking site, she posted her own items on his account and changed his password to keep him from using it again. But her son claims what she posted wasn't true, and that she's damaging his reputation. Lane New, who lives with his grandmother, filed a complaint with prosecutors who approved a harassment charge March 26. "I probably made maybe three, maybe four actual postings — the rest of it was a conversation between my son, me and his personal friends," Denise New said. In his handwritten complaint to prosecutors, Lane New asked that his mother have no contact with him. Denise New acknowledged changing both passwords to keep her son from getting access to his Facebook page. She denied hacking into the account. Denise New said the boy had written on his Facebook page that he had gone to Hot Springs one night and drove 95 mph on the way home because he was upset with a girl. Several other posts on his site also bothered her, but she refused to elaborate. She said he has since opened a new Facebook account. Prosecutor Todd Turner declined to comment because the boy is a minor. Denise New said Lane moved in with his grandmother about five years ago, after she went through a difficult divorce, was having mental health problems and didn't feel she could provide her son with the supervision he needed. She faces a hearing on the misdemeanor at the Clark County Courthouse on May 12.

Decoding great stones of mystery Archeologist works to put Costa Rican spheres on UN list BY JENNY TERRELL jterrell@kansan.com John Hoopes often receives e-mails from people predicting what the several stone spheres scattered throughout Costa Rica actually are. Out of the e-mails he's opened over the years, he said one person theorized that they were mileage markers along a race route that the Shamans ran from Mexico to Peru. And another said they might have been stones from UFOs during a battle for the Earth. Hoopes, associate professor of anthropology and director of the Global Indigenous Nations Studies Program, returned March 13 from his third trip to Costa Rica, where he researched the origins and purposes of these 300 stone spheres. Hoopes went Hoopewent on this trip as an expert to evaluate the spheres, and he plans to submit a report recommending that the United Nations give them World Heritage status. There are 890 sites currently listed around the world, including the Hoopes became interested in the spheres when he arrived at the University in 1990 and went on a trip to Golfito, Costa Rica. "I have a hunch that these stone spheres represented something along the lines of a man's commitment to the woman's house and family." Hoopes said his theory of the stones' origin is as a symbol of a social structure of the indigenous groups that lived in the area, a structure that centered on women. Knowing what is built around them can spark ideas as to what they were used for. Hoopes said. However, he said, more archeological research needs to be done, and at this point conclusions cannot be made. He said the two main things people needed to understand about the stones were that they are sculp- The balls were discovered in the 1940s, when the United Fruit Co. was clearing land to plant bananas. He said archaeologists studying the spheres thought the groups were "matri-local," meaning that the women and their families owned the land. When a partnership was formed between a man and a woman, the man would live in the woman's house with her family. Hoopes said the company found the spheres partially buried. Most of the stones discovered since then were half buried as well, covered by silt and mud in a river delta. Pyramids of Giza and the Statue of Liberty. "I have a hunch that these stone spheres represented something along the lines of a man's commitment to the woman's house and family." Hoopes said. "When he set up his big spheres in front of the house, that signaled a commitment." Archeologist Fransisco Corrales, who received his doctorate from the University in 2000, has done field research with Hoopes. He is currently excavating the stones in Costa Rica and said they range from an inch to more than 8 feet and weigh anywhere from a few pounds to 15 tons. Hoopes said to qualify as a World Heritage site, the site had to have an outstanding universal value to JOHN HOOPES Associate professor of anthropology humanity with the idea that the monumental spherical stone is a basic geometrical shape that everyone experiences in nature. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization will make the decision. Hoopes said the organization had not yet made a final recommendation. The nomination process is lengthy and can take anywhere from two to 10 years. Hoopes' fascination with the stone spheres has had an influence on his teaching. Anne Egitt, a graduate student from Cleveland, said her sphere research and Hoopes' expertise on the subject were what brought her to the University. She said she enjoyed Hoopes as a professor because he thought of his students as junior colleagues and let them have their own ideas and challenge each other. "Dr. Hoopes is one of the leading authorities on Costa Rican archeology." Egatto said. In the fall, he will teach a course on archeological myths and realities, which will discuss extraterrestrials and controversial theories of Native American origins. Edited by Jesse Ranqel CAMPUS Nobel Prize winner discusses student activism BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com Jody Williams, a 1997 Nobel Peace Prize winner for her work on the international ban of land-mines, spoke at the Kansas Union last night. She was the keynote speaker for Into the Streets Week, which began Monday and will conclude Sunday. Williams talked about her own experience as an activist and the importance of activism in our community. The Kansan had a chance to sit down and talk with Williams before her lecture. Q: What are the positives about activism? A: I think it's a negative not to be in activism. I believe citizenship requires action.I don't believe citizenship is just having the privilege of living in the United States or European Democracy and voting every four years, then sitting back and exclaiming the government should be taking care of all the issues.It's my job as a citizen to try and get them to do what they said they were going to do when they campaigned, not what they're trying to do when in power.I believe citizenship is a lost art here in the United States." Q2: Do you think activism has risen, declined, or just changed over the years? Q: Iraq is a very unpopular war, but what made people more vocal about Vietnam? A: "The circumstances are just different. I think there are young people a lot more involved in ways that I never had or knew about. So when people say that young people don't care, I don't see that." A: "I think part of the reason there's not the activism is because there's not a draft. I think if middle class families had to worry about their children going to war, there would be a lot more discussion. I am a firm believer in the reinstatement of the draft ... I think it would be way better if every young person at the age of 18 had to do something for society. I would like to see high school graduates have to give two years, whether it be to the military or some other social service. Then they get credits for college, or whatever training they wanted after that." A: "I think I'd be dizzy with the options I'd have, I'm impressed with the range of volunteer opportunities that there are here through the school, programs Q: What can you people do to get involved this day in age? Q&A with Jody Williams that they can do during summer vacation and other vacations through the school year.I don't think there is an excuse for not being involved other than they don't want to, they don't care, or they're lazy. There are organizations that are working on any issue that one could care about. If there aren't, I heard here on campus it only takes two people to make a student group.I certainly think I could find one other person who believed what I believed. That's how I started. One other person and me, and we grew to 13,000 and changed the world. It's not magic; it's getting off your butt and taking the first step." I am very proud of this work. I have worked with many great artists and musicians over the years, and I feel very grateful to them. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you for your help. Q: What is one thing you would like to tell the student body? A: "We always worry about our rights, but we also have responsibilities.I believe that living in a place like the United States, and studying at a place like the University of Kansas, you have a responsibility to give back in some way.There is not anyone on this campus that could not volunteer one hour a month. Imagine if everyone who really believed that the world could be a better place volunteered one hour a month-the world would be an amazing place" Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN Edited by Ashley Montgomery Jody Williams, winner of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for her work banning and clearing anti-personnel mines across the globe, speaks to a crowd inside the Kansas Union. Williams began her life as an activist when a pamphlet led her to a discussion on a war in El Salvador.

Funding for The Kansan will remain the same. FUNDING (CONTINUED FROM 1A) abstaining, in favor of legislation that didn't include a cut. This year, the $4 campus media fee went through the Student Media Board, which then allocated the funds to The Kansan, KUH-TV, KJHK, Kiosk and KU Filmworks. strated a conflict of interest between The Kansan and Senate. Student Senator Tom Cox proposed an amendment to the original bill, Cox, a graduate student from Shawnee, proposed to remove the $1.70 allocated to The Kansan from the $4 campus media fee and place it under the newspaper readership fee as a separate Kansan subscription fee. "I think that by putting the subscription fee under newspaper readership then there isn't a board determining what the fee is going to be," Cox said. "I believe this creates less oversight and less conflict of interest. We need to keep this fee under the review of Student Senate, but we need to keep ourselves as separated as we can from it." Student Body President Mason Heilman opened the media fee discussion by standing by his proposal to eliminate the financial relationship between The Kansan and Senate. He said The Kansan's coverage and editorial commentary of his proposal had contained several misconceptions. The bill also includes a $4 increase to the student health fee, which goes to Watkins Memorial Health Center; a $2.25 increase to transportation operations; and a $0.35 increase to SafeRide and SafeBus. "Now after a full month of being railed on by a media outlet, which has a near monopoly on coverage of events at this University, I have a chance to publicly give background and clarify some pervasive misconceptions that have been relentlessly promulgated by The Kansan," Heilman said. However, he backed down from his original stance pledging to veto any legislation that continued to contain student fee funding to The Kansan.

"We will continue to provide readers the content and quality they have come to expect, and we can continue to be able to provide our staff with the professional experience members of a student organization should reasonably expect," he said, "labeling the fee a subscription fee is consistent with what we have maintained it to have been all along."

She said she had worked with many departments on campus to make the project possible including design and construction management and facilities operations. The money that Senate approved Wednesday evening will be added to $50,000 already provided by the chancellor's office and $17,000 in alumni donations. "I'm not going to stop smiling tonight," Allen said. "I'm just so excited because it's been such a collaborative effort." Siler said the lake wouldn't have to be dredged for another 100 years as long as the University follows through on its plans to invest $200,000 in new reservoir basins along Memorial Drive. The basins would collect about 99 percent of sediment from flowing down the hill and into the lake, which caused most of the sediment buildup, he said. "It was time. We had the money, and it was supported unanimously," Siler said. Edited by Ashley Montgomery STUDENT SENATE The official Student Senate ballot was released Wednesday with Envision candidates Ross Ringer and Devon Cantwell on it, although they were disqualified. They will stay on the ballot pending their appeal to University Governance. Envision candidates on ballot pending appeal hearing Ringer, a sophomore from Prairie Village, and Cantwell, a sophomore from Topeka, turned their petition in late and were disqualified for it on March 25 after an elections commission ruling. Courtney Brax, hearing board chair, and Lewicki filed the commission's response to the appeal last week. In it, Lewicki and Brax wrote, "Failure to meet the deadline alone was enough in itself to disqualify the candidates." Elections Commissioner Jessica Lewicki said at the time of the ruling that the hearing was called only to address the late signatures, but later, when the commission started to look at the signatures, members noticed discrepancies and decided that Envision had committed a bigger offense. Envision's appeal cited the candidates' behavior as a minor offense according to election code. "Given that the code defines failure to meet a deadline as a minor offense and thus the lowest possible level of offense, it is unreasonable and unsupported that it would warrant the harshest possible punishment," stated the Envision appeal. Ringer said he was still waiting to hear about a date for the appeal hearing. - Annie Vangsnes See Envision's appeal and the response at kansan.com/documents. 6A / ENTERTAINMENT / THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM Conceptis SudoKu 6 1 3 5 8 9 10 Concerns Puzzles.

F MUSIC "That was never a thought in my mind," Daughtry says of his album's success. "I just wanted to put the best thing I could." Quite the feat for someone Daughtry, fronted by "American Idol" Season 5 competitor Chris Daughtry, holds that distinction thanks to its self-titled 2006 CD, which includes the hits "It's Not Over" and "Home". It was the top rock release two years in a row and the fastest-selling rock debut since Soundscan began tracking sales. Daughtry concerts have rockin' success The biggest-selling rock act in recent memory is hitting cities across the country and it's not Nickelback, Kings of Leon or Green Day. O who placed after Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee and Elliott Yamin on "idol." Its success might be even more surprising because, due to time constraints, Daughtry had to record it not with his band, but with studio musicians who could get the job done quickly. Daughtry says he had no idea he was creating a blockbuster when he hurriedly recorded "Daughtry" after getting voted off the show. "We had deadlines to meet," he says. "Bam bam bam, we had to get it done." He says his show is fuller now that the band has two CDs under its belt. "It's been awesome," Daughtry says.

Student Senate voted for the right choice The Kansan's content will not suffer from the losses that would have been inevitable if cuts to funding had been approved. In showing support for The Kansan, Senate is showing its support for the efforts made by Had the cuts been approved. The Kansan would have still continued to work to provide readers with a quality newspaper, but by deciding against the cuts, Senate has ensured that The Kansan's coverage will not be limited by a lack of funding. The Kansan Editorial Board Creating an ideal coalition CAMPUS LIFE Thankfully, Student Senate campaigns are almost over. There has been the typical controversy, most notably with the disqualification of Envision presidential candidates. Whether Envision candidates ultimately qualify for the election or not, their ideas will have had an influence on the election. Each coalition has presented good ideas, and hopefully the new senators will consider them regardless of what coalition they're in. But what would that perfect combination of ideas be? Here, in a few words, is my take on the ideal platform. It combines the best elements of the ideas put forth by KUnited and Envision's. 1. Envision's Work for Credit. This would create a program similar to one currently in the School of Engineering, where academic credit is given as part of a structured job experience. Expanding the program would allow students to participate in both job experience and classroom time. It's important that any potential program would allow students to earn money on the job, even if only to help pay down the cost of the tuition of the class. 2. Sustainability. Both KUnited and Envision list sustainability as an issue, although KUnited has more specific proposals. KUnited calls for a formalization of the "Green competitions" that have been held on campus through the Hawk Life This would help the student body and University as a whole demonstrate how sustainable our campus is capable of being. KUnited would also make sustainability part of the New Student Orientation. Envision's proposal to change paper margins from 1.25 to .75 inches should also be implemented. BY JONATHAN SHORMAN shorman@kansan.com past few years. 3. Textbooks. Both coalitions propose finding a better method of dealing with textbook distribution. Both coalitions say they would require teachers to submit book recommendations for the spring and fall semesters by Oct. 15 and March 15, respectively. KUnited also wants to start a textbook rental program. Currently, there are private textbook rental programs out there, such as Chegg.com. The University Book Shop, 1116 W. 23rd St., also has a rental program. As long as private businesses are fulfilling the textbook rental need, there is no need for the University to step in unless it can provide the rentals at a significantly lower cost to students. 4. Student Senate Constituent Reports. This idea is actually nowhere to be found on either platform, but I think it's a good idea so I'm putting it on here. It is my column, after all. This platform issue would require all student senators to prepare a constituent report twice a semester. This report would include every vote senators cast since their last report and how they voted. The report should also include a statement that explains and justifies why senators voted the way they did for each issue. Finally, the report should have an essay component, where each senator would have to explain what he or she did to represent and meet the needs of their respective constituents. The reports would be posted online and a notice of posting would be sent out on the university listserv. These ideas should be adopted by new senators, whether they were hardcore KUnited members or avid Envision candidates. It will show senators are interested in the best ideas, from wherever they may come. Shorman is a sophomore from McPherson in journalism. EDITORIAL CARTOON SMALLER THAN AM IMAC. PLAY ITUNES, SONGS LIKE IPOD. EMAIL AND PLAY VIDEO LIKE IPHONE... WHATEVER... Personal finance IQ pays big dividends GUEST COLUMN AROOJ KHALID Knowing how to spend, earn and save money is as essential to American life as sharing, caring and having social skills — so why doesn't every high school graduate in the United States know what a mortgage is? If you think soft money is the dollar bill you dropped in the pool and a stock portfolio is a fancy folder, you're not alone. In the midst of a financial crisis where jobs come far and few between, money — and the skills to maximize its use — is the key to creating a generation that can weather the difficult economic recovery we are currently experiencing. Many college students don't have the kind of personal finance savvy to guide them to a debt-free life. College students are at a crucial time in their lives where they develop the spending and bud- getting skills for their adult lives. They often depend on credit cards and student loans, which they might not understand, to get them through school. Upon applying for a credit card, the introductory literature spews terms like "APR," "average daily balance method," "credit line" — terms not taught in school. It's up to the individual to read and truly understand the fine print. It's normal for students to not be completely familiar with terms like "credit score." Some students can only attribute their knowledge about personal finance to experiences growing up. Short of personal interest and research, however, some students recognize that financial intelligence should have a place in higher education. The fact remains that personal finance should not be an optional pursuit but something all college students should be well versed in. At the end of the day, it is up to us to take responsibility and educate ourselves. There's certainly not a lack of resources. Sure, the personal finance section of the library may seem dry and dense, but small steps, like reading the Wall Street Journal, actually reading the cheesy brochures that explain financial concepts at local banks and employing resources such as the Internet, can enable students to take a more active role in their own practical lives — beyond dropping loose change into a niggy bank. After all, one can never really know when the next rainy day – or recession – will occur. UWire from The Daily Trojan at the University of Southern California. HUMAN RIGHTS Caution in concealed carry Much has been said about the new concealed carry bill, which, if passed, would allow those with a concealed car license to carry a gun on public university campuses. KU administrators have been among those voicing disapproval of the bill, and I can understand why. House Bill 2685 passed in the Kansas House of Representatives 65 to 57 on March 24. It now awaits approval in the Senate. This bill specifies that unless a campus has "adequate security measures", concealed carry would be allowed. No matter the benefits of such technology, it is unlikely that the University would be able to afford their expensive installations. And, with the numerous entrances to campus, it would not be realistic. According to a previous story in The Kansan, jill Jess, a University relations spokeswoman, said even if the University was able to implement such security measures, they would not guarantee safety. These security measures are defined as metal detection equipment with capabilities to detect weapons. These would be subject to certain standards. Proponents of the bill suggest that allowing guns on campus would actually make schools safer in the case of violent shootings. Although I appreciate the arguments backing the bill, I simply cannot understand how allowing concealed weapons on campus would decrease violence. Rights and the Law 1. for one, would not feel safer if I knew students were legally carrying guns around campus. Some supporters of the bill have claimed that the people who would potentially carry out a shooting would disregard the current restrictions and carry guns anyway. Therefore, these supporters say that law-abiding citizens should be given the opportunity to protect themselves by getting to carry a licensed gun. Still, this argument does not convince me this legislation is a good idea. Metal detectors can be a big pain, but I'm sure most would agree that they add some degree of safety. The bigger issue at this time is that the University cannot afford to install drastic security measures as these. BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansan.com Allowing concealed weapons on campus would also lead to a decrease in the amount of authority campus police and security has in a violent situation. Although there are certain requirements in obtaining a concealed carry license, police officers go through intensive training to be prepared for dangerous circumstances. Personally, I would trust a police officer far more than one of my fellow students when it really matters — sorry, guys. If lawmakers truly want to avoid violent school attacks, I suggest going at it from a different angle. This issue is just too important to solve by simply allowing students to "arm themselves." Students should voice their disapproval of the bill to the Kansas Senate. With our opposition, hopefully the Senate will realize the potential ramifications of this legislation and vote it down. Furthermore, who is to say this wouldn't lead to unnecessary deaths in the form of accidents? I feel nervous around a gun, even if the person handling it is completely stable, not angry and knows what he or she is doing. The point is that guns are dangerous in and of themselves. The fewer guns around me, the safer I feel. If someone around me has to have a gun, I would prefer him to be a law enforcement official. Cosby is a sophomore from Overland Park in political science. LETTER TO THE EDITOR PEACEFUL RELATIONS BETWEEN SCIENCE AND RELIGION Scientific inquiry and reason are ways in which Muslims can come to know and praise God. The Arabic word for a verse of revelation is "ayat." It also refers to natural and man-made phenomenon, as well as miracles, as "signs" of God's existence. To exhibit the belief that all things worship There are many instances found within religions that exemplify true peace between religion and science. In the early days of Islam, Muslims studied the stars, sun and moon to calculate prayer times and calendar days, as well as for navigation. Such science was a form of worship and served as a stepping-stone to more explorations in astronomy. Sai Folmshee's article "Why can't we all get along?" was a good read. The relationship between science and religion should be discussed. However, it seems that the article was based on the assumption that religion and science must agree to disagree. This is unacceptable in light of certain religious views. Allah, a scholar once held a pencil in the air. He then dropped it, the point being that the object worships God by its submission to certain natural laws observable in this world, in this case, gravity. This relationship between science and religion is an intimate and undivided one. There are other religions in which we can find evidence that a war between science and religion is merely a social illusion. The Berber rhetorician Augustine recorded his search for truth as a spiritual journey with reason as his companion. Such a man of free thought would not only become a saint but also be venerated as a church father in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. People of faith must use reason in their pursuit of knowledge. Such issues as evolution should be studied in scientific context. If the world is a creation of a God in whom she/he believes, no matter what conclusion the scientist arrives at, she/he will be confident that it will reflect the divine.

It will also inform them of how much their books and supplies will cost when they enroll. The Higher Education Opportunity Act doesn't take effect until July 1, but the University and the KU Bookstore have already implemented the new deadlines. Estella McCollum, assistant director for KU Bookstores, said the act was meant to give students a better idea of all the additional costs that come with a class at the time of enrollment. That way, students have time to shop around for the best prices. "It's really attacking the affordibility of education as a whole," McCollum said. "because it's not just textbooks, its required materials and supplies — they want anything associated with that class sooner." While this could be helpful for some students, it may not affect students who don't have book requirements. Jamie Padzensky, a senior from Andover, is in the graphics program and said the new require ment wouldn't necessarily help her in knowing the cost of her supplies. "It would be helpful, but most of the time projects are student to student, and it depends on what you want to do." Padzensky said. "I don't know what kind of paper I'm going to use for a project until I get to the project." She said it would be helpful for professors to communicate with the bookstore throughout the semester to make sure it had enough of certain supplies when a project came up. McCollum said that KU Bookstores was the collecting point for the textbook paperwork, which they refer to as adoptions, and that students would still be able to shop anywhere for their books. Rachel Barnes, assistant course materials buyer, said she had definitely seen an increase in the number of textbook adoptions that have been turned in. At this time last spring, KU Bookstores had only received about 30 percent of summer adoptions and 7 percent of fall adoptions. This year, the bookstore has received about 65 percent of summer adoptions and 22 percent for fall. Caitlin Davies, assistant course materials buyer for KU Bookstores, said getting adoptions in on time helped students save money. "The earlier I get an adoption, the earlier I know what textbooks to get for a class, the more used copies I'm able to locate," Davies said. "It really passes on a huge savings to the student." She also said that when the bookstore knows a professor is using a book the following semester, students receive more money when they sell their books back. The law, which passed in August 2008, mandates universities turn in class information in a more timely manner, but it doesn't require any punishment for professors that don't turn in their adoptions. McCollum said the law states that adoptions need to be turned in as soon as realistically possible. One reason a department may not turn in adoptions on time is if it doesn't yet have its GTAs assigned to a section or if GTAs haven't accepted their positions in time for the deadline. She said it won't ever be realistic to expect 100 percent compliance. "The whole point is to give a more accurate estimate as to what the cost of the class is going to be so they're prepared" McCollum said. "It also gives them time to look at their options and decide what other options they have for those same materials." - Edited by Anna Archibald LOOK AS GOOD AS YOU SEE WITH OUR DESIGNER FRAMES DR.

They were part of group that won the National American混凝土Institute Pervious Concrete Competition in Chicago. Students see success in sustainable concrete competition, place first CAMPUS BY BRENNA LONG "That is the way Mother Nature intends for rain to come down and go straight into the ground." Harley said. blong@kansan.com As she passed through security at the airport, Regan Gangel, a senior from Leawood, thought the cylinder of concrete wrapped in her bath towel might raise some suspicions. After going through explosive checks and being questioned, she boarded the plane with a sigh of relief. "I was paranoid that we wouldn't get them through," said Amber Harley, a senior from Wichita. Not only did the KU engineering students make it through airport security, but they also went on to win first place and $300 at the National American Concrete Institute Pervious Concrete Competition in Chicago in March. The goal of the competition was to promote sustainability using concrete. The team was challenged to create a sample of pervious concrete that kept a strong resistance to force while maximizing permeability. The team won against 32 other schools. "I was at the convention too, and people kept stopping me and saying 'Your team won. Your team won," said JoAnn Browning, associate professor of civil engineering. The road to nationals consisted of studying, mixing, curing and testing. Because pervious concrete isn't a specific class for the students, they had to take their knowledge of regular concrete and apply it to the competition. The pores in the concrete allow water to seep into the soil instead of running into the sewers. This type of concrete is used for parking lots and large areas of surface concrete. The pervious concrete was created by Harley; Gangel; Vinur Kaul, a senior from Mission, and Lucy Munz, a senior from Great Bend. The group also placed third at the Regional Pervious Concrete Competition Feb. 27. To make the 4-by-6 inch cylinders for the competition, the group mixed limestone, cement, water and fibers by hand. The group made 10 different batches of the mix over the course of the year. Once in the molds, the samples cured in a bath of lime solution for at least 28 days. The longer the samples sit in the solution, the stronger they get, Kaul said. The students also made their own testing tube but encountered some problems at first. "Every time we would pour the water in, it would just gush out the side," Gangel said. To test the tube, the group put its cylinder down inside of it, filled it with water, turned the valves and started a stopwatch to time how fast the water filtered through. Because this is only the second year of KU's chapter of the American Concrete Institute, the University has competed only twice, and the competition last year was a trial run. Browning said the entire process was hard work, from getting the materials to conducting the tests that resulted in success. "The first time we put it in and bubbles came up, I was just like yes, yes it worked." Kaul said. The group received donations and support from Midwest Concrete Materials and Murry Decorative Concrete in Lawrence. The School of Engineering and the American Concrete Institute financed the rest of the competition.

Henry will leave Kansas after this year. PAGE 1B Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Henry announces his decision to leave Kansas for the NBA BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c_thibodeaux Xavier Henry's stoic facade finally wore off. All season, whether it was during his slump, a bad game or a team loss, Henry, a freshman guard, never looked rattled. He seemed oblivious. Sometimes he looked happy when he had no reason to. "He's a very emotional kid," coach Bill Self said. "His cover-up sometimes to hide the emotion is just to smile." During Wednesday's news conference when Henry announced his decision to go to the NBA, all his emotions were on display as he poured his tears and heart out. "I didn't know Id love it here this much at KU." Henry said. This was an unusual experience for everyone in the room except for the guys wearing blue warm-ups and the coach sitting beside them. At the beginning of the season, many doubted Henry's commitment to Kansas because he had the skill to go pro. If the season didn't prove his dedication, he dispelled any remaining doubts at the podium. Sitting next to Henry was his brother C.J., who was in a somber mood himself. "What you saw today was X," Self said. "That's what we see all the time, but you don't see that during the 40 minutes of a game." Even though Henry did choose to take his skills to the next level — he said that he was in the process of hiring an agent and that a deal would "definitely" get done — it was a very difficult decision for him. "I think for the people who knew me, they knew it would be a tough decision either way because they know I love people" Henry said. "And they know once I start bonding with people, it's real hard for me to let go." Henry said his decision was not at all based on the results of the Jayhawks' season or on a potential lockout in the NBA. Most of all, he said, his decision came because of his preparation. Henry said his coaches had prepared him as well as they could while keeping his confidence up and helping him to grow as a person. When deciding where to go college after a stint playing minor league baseball, C.J. wanted to go where Xavier went. The brothers reunited and spent time together like they did when they were younger. "Time apart from him this year bonded us in a different way," C.J. said. "We became a lot closer and stronger as brothers. I'm just happy for everything he does, and I know he deserves it. He definitely grown up to be a man here at KU $ ^{n} $ "I'd rather be remembered for the person I was off the court: the fun-loving kid." As he moves to the next chapter in his XAVIER HENRY Freshman guard s to the next chapter in his life, Xavier leaves behind a season where he averaged 13.4 points per game and started every game. He finished second on the Kansas all-time freshman scoring list next to Danny Manning. Henry doesn't leave behind a lot of memories, but he nonetheless wants them to hold significance. "I'd rather be remembered for the person I was." off the court; the fun-loving kid," he said. "I'm just a kid. I'm always smiling. I'm as nice as can be." Xavier is the first one and done player Self has coached, and Self said he expected it to happen coming into the season. Still, Self said he wanted his own son to show the same qualities that Xavier did this season. "He has about a good a spirit or as good a heart as any kid I've ever coached," Self said. "He is a pleaser; he wants to do what's right. He wants people to like him. He wants to make others happy." The only people who should be upset about Henry's decision, Self said, are the fans. And that's only because they should want to see him play again.

"It's a heartbreaker," junior catcher Brittney Hile said. "Everything that happened in the past you forget, and you go out there and play because it's the biggest game of the year. All you want to do is win that game." Kansas fell to 16-21 (0-6) while Missouri improved to 27-6 (3-3). Kansas is still looking for its first conference victory of the season. Even though Kansas didn't seal a victory, Smith said she loved a good rivalry and was excited about future games against Missouri. First year coach Megan Smith is originally from North Carolina, and she said her players helped her understand the Border showdown's intense competition. In the first game, Kansas had the bases loaded with one out in the third, but the team managed to get only one run out of it to take a 1-0 lead. Missouri tied it up in the bottom of the fourth, but Kansas took a two-run lead in the sixth on a two-run homer from Hile. "Before I got to Kansas, I knew nothing about it," Smith said. "But I learned about it really quickly."

"You hope your team is resilient and tough enough to fight back, and our guys did that tonight," coach Ritch Price said. Thompson got Kansas start ed in the third inning, lining an RBI single to center to score senior second baseman Roby Price, who had reached on a double. The Jayhawks tacked on a run in the fourth on a groundout by sophomore first baseman Zac Elgie, scoring freshman designated hitter Jake Marasco to make the score 2-0. Redshirt freshman Thomas Taylor and junior Wally Marceli held the Bluejays to only one run through the first five innings, and senior Travis Blankenship tossed a scoreless sixth to preserve the 2-1 lead for Kansas.

SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 4B What at first appeared to be insurance runs proved much Don't hate on Xavier for picking to go pro Bradley L. Saxon BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com 1 The news conference during which Xavier Henry declared for the NBA draft was supposed to go a bit differently. Following a dynamic freshman season in which he collected numerous accolades and helped Kansas to a national championship, Henry would triumphantly declare that he had accomplished everything he could at Kansas and would take his game to the next level. The news conference would thus be a cold and emotionless occasion, devoid of any genuine feeling. The inevitable would simply be confirmed as the business relationship between Henry and Kansas was severed, and both parties would move forward without a look back. The fans would be satisfied as well, having got what they wanted from the hired gun. And fans will not be satisfied. That news conference — the one expected by most every Kansas fan since Henry committed to KU — did not happen. Instead, on the heels of a second-round NCAA tournament exit, Henry announced his decision to declare for the NBA draft with occasional sobs and a tear streaked face. The season will be labeled a colossal disappointment. Fans will say one reason why is that Henry never played as a score-at will superstar, a la previous Big 12 one-and-doners Kevin Durant and Michael Beasley. Fans will say that he lacks the aggression necessary to score in the NBA and that he doesn't rebound or defend well enough. They will contend that Henry, simply put, is not ready. Many will also label Henry's display of emotions either disingenuous or unearned. They will say that his mind was made up before he came to Kansas, so how could he develop any real connection to University or his teammates? Or perhaps Henry's apparent affection for his teammates will be invoked. If you love playing with them so much, why not do so for at least one more season? But most of all, they will say that he should have come back for at least one more season. They will argue that his game — and thus his draft stock — could be improved. Fans will say all of those things because they are fans, and those are the sorts of things fans say in these situations. It's inevitable, but it's also unfortunate. Kansas' failure to cut down the nets in Indianapolis shouldn't be used to indict Henry. He was not brought in to carry an already loaded team; rather, his role was that of a supplementary scorer. Henry filled that role well, ending the season with an average of more than 13 points a game. Henry is inarguably ready for the NBA. Why inarguable? Because he's going to be drafted in the first round. With the possibility of a lockout looming, the decision to enter the draft had to be made. So no, the news conference did not go as expected, and no, the season didn't either. But that doesn't mean the expected negative faction reaction is justified. Instead, in keeping with the trend, that's one more expected result that should fail to actualize. - Edited by Allyson Shaw 2B SPORTS THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM OUOTE OF THE DAY "Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life.

He is scheduled to tee off at 12:42 p.m. However, Woods isn't the only one returning to golf this afternoon. Woods is involved in a highly anticipated return to golf after a self-imposed leave of absence amid allegations of infidelity. You'll be hard-pressed to find a storyline in this tournament other than him. For me and for a lot of other casual golf fans, it also means our return to watching the sport. The Nielsen Company compared the number of people who watched the 2007 PGA Championship when Woods was playing and the 2008 PGA Championship, which Woods missed because of knee surgery. Ratings increase dramatically when Woods is playing. The proof is in the ratings. The first and second rounds of the 2007 PGA Championship totaled almost 6 million viewers, compared with 1.3 million in 2008, a 78.2 percent decrease. The more popular third and fourth BY MAX VOGSBURGH mvogsburgh@kansan.com www.twitter.com/MVSports rounds showed similar numbers. rounds showed similar numbers. In the third and fourth rounds of the 2007 PGA Championship, roughly 9.17 million people tuned in and watched Woods win the event. Viewership dropped 57 percent in 2008 when only 3.89 million watched. All together, Tiger Woods missed eight tournaments because of knee surgery. Only the first and second rounds of the 2008 British Open saw an increase in viewers. These numbers would suggest huge ratings are ahead for the Masters Tournament this weekend, and the reason is Woods. Ratings for tournaments that Wools plays in have always been high. The Official World Golf Ranking ranks him as the world's No. 1. player. A lot of people watch to cheer him on, hoping to THE MORNING BREW catch his next career defining moment. Today will certainly be one of them. Tiger Woods in the Masters This will be Woods' 16th appearance in the Masters Tournament. His first appearance was in 1995 when he was an amateur and tied for 41st place. Two years later, he won the Masters in what would be the first in four eventual victories and 10 top 10 finishes at the tournament. Woods' four first place finishes at the Masters is tied for second most with Arnold Palmer. Jack Nicklaus has won the Masters six times.

MLB Associated Press Giants complete 3-day sweep HOUSTON — Edgar Renteria tied a career high with five hits and the San Francisco Giants broke away from the Houston Astros 10-4 Wednesday to complete a season-opening three-game sweep. The Giants are 3-0 for the first time since 2003, when they began with a sweep at San Diego and won seven straight. Houston last started 0-3 in 2007. It was 4-all when Juan Unibe doubled in the eighth inning and scored the go-ahead run when Sammy Gervacio (0-1) threw away a bunt. The Giants added another run in the inning, then scored four times in the ninth. Aaron Rowand had four of the Giants' 19 hits. John Bowker had a two-run hero and Travis Ishikawa added his first career pinch-hit home run. Jeremy Affeldt (1-0) got the win in relief of Matt Cain, who allowed six hits and three earned runs in 6 2-3 innings. Astros starter Brett Myers gave up a career-high 12 hits and four runs in six-plus innings in his Astros debut. Rowand, the Giants' leadoff man, and Renteria, the No. 2 hitter, each drove in two runs. Uribe made it 5-4 when he scooted home after Gervacio overthrew third base on a sacrifice by Eli Whiteside. Rowand had an RBI single later in the eighth. Uribe hit an RBI double to highlight the ninth. Pedro Feliz doubled twice for the Astros, including an RBI hit in the fourth.

WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL Associated Press UConn bids Tina Charles farewell MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE SAN ANTONIO — Being the great baseball fan he is, Geno Auriemma knows bloops and blasts eventually look the same in the scorebook. And after building his NCAA Division 1 record winning streak with 77 blasts, he didn't mind that 78 was essentially a Texas leaguer because it gave his program a second straight national championship Tuesday night. "It's just hard to put into feelings," Auriemma said. "The feeling of helplessness we felt in the first half (after scoring only 12 points) and not knowing what we had left in us for the second. All I can say is, it was a real testament to my kids." A program well-acquainted with making history made more at The Alamodome by defeating Stanford, 53-47. The Huskies are the first team to win consecutive undefeated national championships in Division I history. UConn overcame a nine-point (19-8) first-half deficit to win the game, marking the biggest comeback for the Huskies since being down 14 against Rutgers on April 1, 2008, in the NCAA Greensboro Regional final. But they had to fight for this one, playing much more like themselves in the second half. The first half was another story. UConn's 12 first-half points marked the fewest number of points scored by UConn in the first half in school history. It also tied the fewest points in any half in program history — 12 second-half points vs. Rutgers (Feb. 27, 2006). UConni's field goal percentage (32.8) was the lowest by a winning team in a national championship game. Same for its 19 field goals. "I remember turning around at one point to my coaches and just shaking my head with this feeling that we're not going to score any more points in the game," Auri-emma said. They did. Maya Moore scored 18 of her game-high 23 points in the second half. She scored 144 points in the tournament. "I had been worried all year long that what happened in the first hall was eventually going to happen." A u r i e m a said, "But that's why Maya is a special player." The 2010 UConn senior class of Tina "In some ways the teams (last year and this) were the same, with All-Americans, but in a lot of ways they were different as we leaned on Maya and Tina a lot, especially toward the end," UConn assistant Shea Ralph said. "We won this championship because of Maya Moore and Tina." Charles, Kaili McLaren, Kalama Greene, Meghan Garder and Jacquie Fernandes ended their careers 146-6 with three Final Four appearances and two NCAA titles. "We will miss Tina's presence the most." But what made this team so special on the court was its stars: Charles, Moore and Greene. Charles leaves UConn as its alltime scorer and rebounder. On Thursday, she will be the first pick "I'm going to miss everyone so much," Gardler said. "I mean, just like being around each other. They are my family. They are my best friends. I'm going to miss them so much. I had three surrogate moms on the coaching staff and these are all my sisters. Geno was my dad." "It's more than playing for Connecticut. It's to be a part of a family, a sisterhood that we created." Fernandes said. "It's over now, but I'm never going to forget this. Once you're a Husky you're always a Husky. Whether you play 40 or four minutes, you put in your con- SHEA RALPH UConn assistant coach in the WNBA Draft by the Connecticut Sun "We will miss. Tina's presence the most. Her leadership, in the ways she's the glue for our team more than anything," Ralph said. "We will miss her contributions on and off the court. Just having her inside, doesn't matter what she's doing. It's just that presence." And now with five great freshmen coming in for next season, Aurierma can begin to plot something more, like winning an eighth championship and figuring out how to win at least his first 11 games to break John Wooden's UCLA record of 88. "People are going to expect us to win a national championship again." Auriemma said. "And that's because we've got Mava Moore. "And I would say, 'Good. So do I.'"

But things fell apart for Kansas in the seventh, when Missouri got a three-run homer to defeat Kansas 5-4. Smith said that the team just couldn't finish the game but that she was pleased the team competed with a team like Missouri. The second game was a different story. While Kansas took a 2-1 lead into the fourth, things went downhill for Kansas for the rest of the game. Missouri used another three-run homer to kick off a six-run fourth, and then Missouri scored another three runs in the sixth to run-ruled Kansas 10-2. Smith said Missouri played more aggressively in the second game. "In the second game, Missouri hit like Missouri usually hits," Smith said. "They stepped up to the plate and attacked the ball." Although both losses were disappointing, there are some moral victories that can be taken from the game, senior infielder Armanda lae said.

What Xavier didn't expect from coming to Kansas was all the fan support just one more factor in his difficult choice. After Henry's emotions seemed settled, he was asked what he'll remember most from his one year in college. More tears seeped out as he couldn't pick out a specific moment.

But Self has talked with them and they are ready to work for real next year. "We're playing with live bullets next year," he told them. With one scholarship already going to Royce Woolridge and two remaining, Self said he will likely give another and there is a "chance" he will use the third scholarship. After spending part of the week in Indianapolis, Self expressed an interest in the NCAA tournament expansion after seeing a bracket that made him "feel more comfortable" with the 96 teams. There are many questions about next year, but Self said losing Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry to the NBA draft won't do anything for next season's outlook. "I don't think our expectations or goals will change because of the think our expectations or goals will change one bit because of the absence of three really good players," Self said. good friends great Place smart living Largest Floorplan in Town Private Shuttle to KU Campus Fully Furnished w/ Washer & Dryer Free Internet & Best Cable Package Pet Friendly International Students Welcome Legends Place smart student living.com 4101 W. 24th Place, Lawrence, KS 66047 (785) 856-5848 2 Blocks West of HyVee on Clinton Parkway.

Kansas made three errors in the inning, which enabled the Bluejays to score three unearned runs while only tallying one hit.

And after an RBI triple to the fence in left field that cut the Jayhawks lead to 4-3. Elgie booted a sharp ground ball to allow the tying run to score. Freshman Tanner Poppe got Kansas out of further trouble in the seventh, and then pitched a scoreless eighth to steal the momentum from Creighton. "It was huge that Poppe got us out of that inning." Robby Price said. "He gave us a chance to redeem ourselves." Price, who was one of three Jayhawks with two hits in the game, got them started in the ninth with a smash double to right field. Junior outfielder Brian Heere followed with a single, bringing Thompson to the plate. "It's always in the back of your mind that you made a mistake and you want to get the chance to redeem yourself." Thompson said. Thompson shook off his error in a big way, slugging a 2-2 pitch in the ninth to the fence in left field, scoring Price with what proved to be the winning run. "It's a huge win for us that ended up being even bigger after the defensive lapse." Thompson said. —Edited by Jesse Rangel Kansas infielders Game to forget Aside from Robby Price, each of Kansas' other three infielders made a costly error in Creighton's three-run eighth inning. Thompson and Macias each made errant throws on easy ground balls, and Elgie got eaten up by a sharp grounder to first, which allowed the Bluejays to knot the score at 4-4 on three unearned runs.

Granger made 5 of 10 three pointers as the Pacers won for the 10th time in their last 11 home games. It was Granger's eighth game with 30 or more points since March 1. Troy Murphy had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Roy Hibbert scored 15 points and Mike Dunleavy added 14 for Indiana. The Pacers scored 133 points in their previous game, a home win against Houston. Toney Douglas scored 20 points and Danilo Gallinari added 17 for the Knicks. David Lee had 16 points and 16 rebounds for his fifth straight double double. Indiana led by as many as 20 points in the first half, but the Knicks tied the game at 95 early in the fourth quarter on a threepointer by Douglas. New York was coming off a 104-101 home win against Boston on Tuesday and had won two straight overall.

"It's a whole different mentality this year," Garlington said. "We're holding each other accountable. People are getting on each other. Our coaches are getting on us." Coach Ray Bechard agreed the team had been working hard, and he said he was trying to instill some toughness into the team. "The last nine days have been pretty tough, and we're going to continue with that." Bechard said. "We're just trying to set a mind-set of how we can flip a couple matches that were close last year that would've made all the difference." Kansas got an opportunity to test out some of its hard work Wednesday night when it took on a trio of exhibition games. "We played another preseason tournament, and this one was miles and miles better," Garlington said. "We clicked and played with tons and tons of intensity." Kansas defeated Central Missouri (25-14, 25-18), Rockhurst (25-12, 25-12) and Washburn (23-25, 15-25) with relative ease. Sophomore setter Nicole Tate also said she was pleased with the way the team performed. "We have little improvements here and there like any other team, but I think we played great overall." Tate said. Other than the first sets against Washburn, none of the sets was in much doubt. Garlington said Washburn always got excited to play Kansas, and the team started to lose focus during that set. "We hit a lull in the middle, and our energy kind of died as theirs picked up." Garlington said. "That can't happen with Big 12 teams." More than half of the Big 12 qualified for postseason games last season. Kansas needed to work hard in offseason to be competitive in the Big 12. Tate said. Tate said she had improved during the past seasons in her position, which is equivalent to a point guard in basketball or quarterback in football. "We've got to get better and stronger so we can compete in the league," Tate said. "I'm definitely getting more comfortable with the offense," Tate said. "The connection between me and the coaches and me and the players has gotten better, so that will help." Getting ready for her final season, she said she had one goal on her mind: making the NCAA Volleyball Tournament. "I expect an NCAA appearance," Garlington said. "I'm not graduating without going. We were so close last year, but so far away." Kansas has not made the tournament since 2006. Last season, Kansas had its best record since then. "We feel some major RPI wins preconference will be important," Bechard said. "Then you have to be in the top half of the conference. If you do those two things, you have a great chance to be in the postseason." Bechard said the team had been stacking the schedule with tough teams to prepare for the Big 12 and to improve its postseason chances.

Jerry Wang/KANSAN NBA Orlando keeps pace with win ORLANDO, Fla. — Dwight Howard had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and the Orlando Magic beat the Washington Wizards 121-94 on Wednesday night. J. J. Redick and Mickael Pietrus added 16 points apiece to pull Orlando within a half-game of the idle Los Angeles Lakers for home-court advantage in case of a possible NBA finals rematch, the only thing really left at stake for the Magic. They've already clinched a third straight Southeast Division title and are locked into the Eastern Conference's No. 2 playoff seed. ASSOCIATED PRESS Nick Young had 21 points, and Mike Miller scored 16 for the Wizards, who missed another chance for their first three-game winning streak in two years. Washington finished 1-3 against Orlando this season. Don't tell Magic coach Stan Van Gundy this game didn't have much meaning. After James Singleton made a jumper over Pietrus in the second quarter, Van Gundy threw his clipboard in disgust, stomped his foot and called timeout. He railed his players on the bench before picking up the clipboard and drawing up a play. Business as usual. The Magic responded with 16-2 run capped by 3-pointers by Ryan Anderson and Pietrus to go ahead 46-33. The Wizards would come back quickly, trimming the lead to six at the half. That wouldn't last. The Magic went on a 16-4 spurt and ended the third quarter in dramatic fashion: Jason Williams made a 3-pointer with 2 seconds left. Then Matt Barnes stole a pass from Fabricio Oberto and batted the ball out to Williams, who converted a 26-footer at the buzzer to give the Magic a 19-point lead and throw the crowd into a frenzy. A day after Cleveland coach Mike Brown said he intends to rest his players and is approaching the final regular-season games "as a high-level practice," the Magic are choosing to go full speed into the postseason. Orlando has won 16 of its last 19 games. Van Gundy has said he won't sit players unless they're injured because the Magic, who use a deep bench, don't have anybody in the top 40 in minutes played.

The 2005-'06 team, Mike Eaves' fourth as Wisconsin's head coach, was dominated by upperclassmen and, in winning the national title, took the final step in a rebuilding project that began with Eaves' hiring in the spring of 2002. Eaves' current team is dominated by upperclassmen, most of who talked openly before the season about making a run at the national title, and is the first Wisconsin team to reach the Frozen Four since '06. Yet this UW team, which takes a 27-10-4 record into its national semifinal against the Rochester Institute of Technology (28-11-1) at 4 p.m. Thursday at Ford Field in Detroit, appears to have strong ties to Wisconsin's second and fifth NCAA title teams. Eaves was a junior forward on the 1976-'77 team that recorded a 4-3 overtime victory over New Hampshire in the semifinals and then won the title with a 6-5 overtime victory over Michigan. Current assistant coach Mark Osiecki was a senior defenseman on the 1989-'90 team that beat Boston College in the semifinals, 2-1, before crushing Colgate, 7-3, for the championship. "I remember how sore my legs felt going into the overtime against Michigan," said Eaves, who helped UW advance to the title game by scoring off a face-off less than a minute into overtime to beat New Hampshire. "I remember the indomitable will of Steve Alley." Both titles were won in Detroit. Alley, a senior winger, scored 23 seconds into overtime to lift UW over Michigan. "After the third period he was not going to let us lose," Eaves said. "That was his demeanor in the locker room and it is poetic justice that he ended up scoring the goal." If one member of the current team fits that description it would be senior forward Blake Geoffrion Fast-forward to Thursday. Osiecki, in his sixth season on One of UW's three captains, Geoffrion on Wednesday was named national player of the year by Inside College Hockey and is one of three finalists for the Hobey Baker Award. Geoffrion is a tenacious competitor, leading the team in power-play goals (14), and total goals (27) and is tied for the team lead in game-winning goals (four). the staff, sees many qualities in the current team that drove the 1989-'90 team to a national title. "For us, I don't think losing was ever an option." Osiecki said. "When we walked into any game we thought we were going to win, no matter what the score was. If they scored six, we were scoring seven. That was always the mentality." Talent has been the foundation for the current team. UW has more than a half-dozen NHL draft picks on its roster, including three of its top four scorers — sophomore forward Derek Stepan, Geoffrion and Smith, who made the list of 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Award. Yet that talent might have gone to waste without a solid work ethic. "Sometimes when you have a team you think is going to be pretty good you kind of just go out there and think things are just going to happen for you," said Street, the lone player left from the '06 title team. "This team didn't do that at all. "It's been a competitive group all year. Basically every week guys have battled for their spot in the lineup. I think that is one of the things that kept us competitive and sharp. No one got complacent."

"Ever since I was a little kid, I had a dream to play basketball and play in the NBA." Turner said. "Right now, I have the opportunity where my dream is realized. ... I'm going to forgo my senior season and go to the NBA. "It's a dream come true and I definitely want to thank Coach [Thad] Matta." Turner said the decision has agonized him since Ohio State's season came to an end. "The past few weeks have been really hard for me" he said. "I've been agonizing over my decision due to the simple fact that I love The Ohio State University. I love my coaching staff and being a kid and the opportunity to just do everything I always dreamed of" Throughout the season, Turner maintained his intention to remain in school until he felt comfortable with the legacy he was leaving behind. He led the Buckeyes to the Sweet 16 and earned Big Ten and National Player of the Year honors. He has been widely projected as a top three pick in june's NBA Draft. The Chicago, Ill., native averaged 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game in his third season with the Buckeyes. His departure leaves the Buckeyes without their leader for next season, when OSU adds one of the nation's top recruiting classes. — Zack Meisel write for The Lantern at Ohio State University Withdrawal symptoms cause Sutton to postpone hearing UWIRE Former Oklahoma State University basketball coach Sean Sutton was unable to appear in court for his second arraignment this week because of lingering withdrawal symptoms. Judge Stephen Kistler excused his absence again and postponed his next court appearance to 10 a.m. on June 7, according to court officials. Sutton is still under the pending plea of not guilty. Sutton is facing four charges for possessing drugs, primarily opiates, like Oxycodone and Clonazepam. Opiate withdrawal CRIME can cause sweating, nausea, vomiting, insomnia and anxiety, and can occur after weeks or months of prolonged use, according to www. healthcentral.com. The first count is for obtaining the controlled dangerous substance Oxycodone by fraud, a JOHN HENRY Sutton receiving two counts for unlawfully possessing a controlled weapon gerous substance — Oxycodone, Adderall and Clonazepam — without a prescription, a felony. The fourth count is for the use of a communication facility to facilitate a felony, or using his cell phone for the distribution of drugs. These charges are put forth by Payne County and were released by the plaintiff. "We are seeing more and more of this type of crime." He said it's a "silent epidemic in this country".

Since its inception at Stony Brook University in March 2009, approximately 40 schools across the country have signed on to implement this lifesaving program. A Friend Dies. Who Cares? When you come right down to it,students themselves are the best ones to tackle this problem. So,in growing numbers Stony Brook students have joined together in the Red Watch Band movement. Working with experts, they fine-tuned a course in techniques to handle these alcohol emergencies. Red Watch Band members can act fast, when every second counts. They know the quick steps they can take to rescue a passed-out student from a drinking death, and can immediately summon professional help.Everyone completing the course is given the distinctive red watch for identification. It means consuming so much alcohol the drinker passes out. But while "sleeping it off," the victim may be quietly dying.

With quarterbacks available for the first time this spring, most media members walked their way around the 6-foot-5, 310-pound Thorson. They wanted to find the guys in red — the quarterbacks. But if the Jayhawks are to win games in coach Turner Gill's first season, Thorson and the rest of the offensive line will be equally important. One of Kansas most experienced units, the offensive line will be charged with protecting a first-year starting quarterback while also opening lanes for a more emphasized running game. "It's a good start," offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Chuck Long said. "Having the offensive line back with experience does help, especially with young quarterbacks. Protection is a lot better when they know what they're doing. It makes it a lot better for young quarterbacks breaking in." With the departures of quarterback Todd Reesing, running back Jake Sharp and wide receivers Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe, Long estimated that Kansas lost 80 percent of its offensive production from last season. That leaves the offensive line — a position of uncertainty a year ago — as the experienced centerpiece of the offense. Offensive linemen Jeremiah Hatch, Jeff Spikes, Trevor Marrongelli, Sal Capra, Tanner Hawkinson and Thorson each started in at least two games last season. "Because they have a lot of expe rience, they react quicker to stress situations," offensive line coach J.B. Grimes said. "They're able to step up and take on a little more of a leadership role. When you're out there and your mind is spinning, it's hard to be a leader." "Because they have a lot of experience, they react quicker to stress situations." Thorson insisted that wasn't the case last season, when the offensive line entered the year as a question mark. Though, at times, it appeared that way. only players to remain at the same position. Everyone else changed positions - and did so rather frequently - as former coach Mark Mangino searched for a suitable combination. Only Spikes and Hatch had significant playing time entering last season and, in turn, the inexperienced offensive line occasionally struggled. Plus, the jayhawks never settled on a consistent starting lineup. J. B. GRIMES offensive line coach Hatch and Hawkinson were the "We let Todd down a little bit in the middle of the season," Thorson said. "Sacks kind of crept up on us, but we got things under control in the end. As an offensive line, we finished the season on a better note at the end of the season than in the middle of the season." Kansas has offensive linemen returning at every position, including center and left tackle — the two positions generally regarded as the most important spots along the offensive line Hawkinson entered Kansas as a 243-pound tight end two years ago, but he bulked up and switched to offensive line before last season. He earned All-Big. 12 Honorable Mention. Hatch played offensive tackle as a freshman before moving back to center, his natural position, last season. He returns to anchor Kansas' offensive line this year. "On any football team I've ever WANT TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS? NEW! CERTIFICATE of ENTREPRENEURSHIP 1. GO TO KU ENROLL AND PAY. 2. ENROLL IN ENTR 301. 3. YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY TO STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS had an opportunity to coach on, that position is so very important to be the quarterback of the offensive line." Grimes said. "It's so pleasing to us to have someone with some experience." Grimes explained the weaknesses of the offensive line and said that, besides the returning players from last year, the Jayhawks lack experience. But as Grimes said, the only way to gain experience is to actually play. Many of Kansas' offensive linemen did just that last season — a fact Thorson said should only help the Jayhawks this season. "We sit in the same room for, gosh, I can't even count how many hours," Thorson said. "We got really used to how each of us sees stuff and how we're calling stuff."

I was euphoric the moment before I saw the look in her eyes meant something was seriously wrong, that the horror-scenario, the heart-breaking loss I had feared since I was a child, had become a reality. The moment before my world changed forever, I bounced into my host family's small apartment, elated that the cute boy I was completely in love with had just asked me to a party. I swung the front door open, immune to sadness, expecting the whole world to be as much in love as I was. I sashayed down the hallway toward my room, failing to notice an unusual afternoon silence. Countdown wasit blaring from the television in the living room; Radio 4 wasit on in the kitchen. There was no sound, no movement, just the faint smell of nervously smoked cigarettes, lingering in air pregnant with some kind of worry. But how was I to know? For the time being, the world was shiny and flawless and exciting. I was 15, studying abroad in England, being rebellious, floating through life on Cloud Nine. It was September 16, 2004, the day I gained my first real boyfriend, and lost someone I loved more than almost anyone else. Before or since. Anita, the loving, unwaveringly motherly relative I was living with, swiftly followed me into my room. The seriousness of her walk — just the mere weight of her steps — broke the apartment's silence, interrupted my joyousness, stopped the happy tune in my head mid-line. She didn't let me say anything. She grabbed me firmly, keeping me upright, as if she knew my body would understand the meaning of her words before my brain. Her embrace turned from support mechanism to vice-like hug. I spoke with your mother today. I'm afraid — My breath stopped. Her voice cracked. Your grandmother has died. I'm so sorry. I was stiff, lifeless, shocked. I closed my eyes and opened my mouth. Nothing came out. Anita continued to hold me. An eternity later, a primal scream emerged from where I was standing. Let it out. Let yourself feel the pain. Let it out. I sobbed in her arms for hours. More than five years later, I can still vividly remember all the events of the day Carolyn Garrison, my beloved grandma, my hero, my inspiration in everything I do — the woman, who, with my mother, raised me — lost her decades-long battle with cancer. I still cry about my grandma. But her love and strength shaped me into the person I am today. Every day, I continue to be inspired by her life, her amazing courage, and the pride I know shed feel for everything I've accomplished so far and everything I continue to work on. Just as Anita told me to do years ago, I let myself feel the pain — and the joy. Unfortunately, I am just one of the millions of people who have lost a loved one to cancer. Jayplay writer Lindsay Cleek, sadly, is another. Lindsay lost her sister, Karla, in October 2006. She describes her vivid memories of Karla's last year — and, even more importantly, Karla's inspiring courage — in her essay on page 15. I hope you do not share in Lindsay's and my pain, but perhaps, even if you haven't lost someone close, you can be touched by the love we have for our relatives. This love gives people like us the inspiration for our lives. // ALEX GARRISON, EDITOR DESIGNERS // Laura Fisk, Kelci Shipley EDITOR // Alex Garrison ASSOCIATE EDITOR // CONTACT // Lindsay Cleek, Leslie Kinsman, Katy Saunders HEALTH // Adam Vossen MANUAL // Emily Johnson, Ben Sullivan **NOTICE** // Mary Henderson, Abby Olcese, Anna Sobering **PLAY** // Beth Beavers, Taylor Brown, Anna Kathagnarath CONTRIBUTORS // Mike Anderson, Jason Charney, Molly Martin, Landon McDonald CREATIVE CONSULTANT // Carol Holstead CONTACT US // jayplay10@gmail.com JAYPLAY (785) 864-4810 The University Daily Kansan 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall 1435 Jawhay Blvd. Lawrence, KS 66045 FOLLOW JAYPLAY ON TWITTER AT twitter.com/JayplayMagazine 3 04 08 10 Pool Room 925 Iowa (behind the Merc) 785.749.5039 50€ POOL 50€ AIR HOCKEY 50€ SHUFFLE BOARD Pool Room 18+ to enter Choose ANY Two! $6.29 .

Changing the paint color of a room ideally ends with an opaque, even coating of paint but only on the walls. Vicki Bass, supervisor of the paint department at Home Depot, 1910 W.31st St., says preparation is everything. Use painter's tape to border the ceiling, floor and door frame to prevent drips and uneven lines. Cover risky exposed areas such as furniture and carpet with plastic and drop cloths. Start with a smooth canvas — clean the walls, fill and sand nail holes and use a coat of primer. This last step is particularly important when painting over a dark color. Now you're ready to test colors and choose the right one. Bass says a common misconception is that dark colors make a room appear smaller, but that's not always the case. If you're thinking about a lighter color, keep in mind that when it's on all four walls it will look brighter as it reflects off of itself. Before you apply, make sure you have the right tools in hand and the correct technique in mind. Use a paintbrush to cut in around the edges, but a cheap one might leave streaks, so it's worth it to spend a few extra bucks. A roller creates an even coating on the rest of the wall, and a three-eighth-inch roller is usually sufficient. Bass says, because anything thicker than that tends to get sloppy unless the wall is textured. With flat-finish paints, you can cut in and paint in two separate steps, but with other eggshell and satin sheens, cut in small sections and paint them as you go. Bass always recommends two coats of paint to make sure you don't miss any spots and achieve an even final product. // EMILY JOHNSON INTERMEDIATE AMERICA FRONT Photo illustration by Emily Johnson Roll on, roll off.

Consider the correct tools, application method and color before you start your own home makeover. in the life of ... // A TATTOO ARTIST living vicariously through others is ok with us. Tattooing is just as serious of a commitment as sitting on the receiving end of the needle. Martin del Camino works into the dark evening hours cleaning, drawing, researching and tattooing at his studio, Ichiban Tattoo, 1912 Massachusetts St., which means "number one" in Japanese. The Argentina native tattoos in many genres but he fell in love with the Japanese style when a friend asked him to fix a poorly done Japanese tattoo. After that, del Camino studied the Japanese language, mythology and culture to understand the meaning of the tattoos he loves. "You're drawing in a person, youre painting in a person, and you can't erase it," del Camino says. "It's really mesmerizing." Passion is an essential ingredient in the life of a tattoo artist, which isn't all human coloring books and pointy pens. A common misconception, del Camino says, is that tattooing is an escape from having a real job, but good artists often become workaholics. "People think that you come here, you tattoo for eight hours and then you go home," del Camino says. "You have to clean the tubes, clean your station, mop, and then you have to start drawing for tomorrow. You are working way more hours than any regular job." During the past two decades and countless hours of work, del Camino has tattooed people from all walks of life - boxers, basketball players, navy seals, Americans, Argentinians and Europeans. He says they've taught him to do away with stereotypes and generalizations. "No matter where you come from, the people are all the same," del Camino says. "Everybody has pain; everybody has the same soul." // EMILY JOHNSON 1972 Photo by Emily Johnson Etch a sketch Del Camino sketches a design on a light board. He tattoos many Japanese styles.

Copeland picked up her know-how of wine pairing from her experience as a server at a country club and at Ingredient, 947 Massachusetts St. One summer when she worked at Ingredient, the restaurant held a wine pairing workshop with an expert to teach the employees what types of food and wine go well together and why. Copeland tried different types of wines with all sorts of flavors from sweet cookies to bitter lemons and developed an understanding of how the flavors in food and wine work together or detract from each other, which shows that wine pairing is truly an experimental, hands-on experience. "Let's say you have a merlot," Copeland says. "If you drink it with something sweet then it's going to strip the sweetness out of the wine so all your taste is the acid. But if you eat something salty with it, like steak, then the sweetness comes out in the wine so it's not gross when you drink it." Scott Schmidtberger, manager at Alvin's Wines and Spirits, 4000 W, 6th St., says the store provides a pairing chart, but any reputable liquor store staff should be able to make pairing suggestions depending on what you're looking for. The most important thing is the combination of food and wine enhances each other's flavors and enrich the total experience. Schmidtberger says it's important to remember that the first rule of wine pairing is there aren't many. If you have a certain wine you love, drink it with whatever you want. But, there are some useful guidelines that will help you make a good pairing as you develop your taste. "When you first start out, it seems really intimidating. But once you start drinking the wine and exploring, the more you try the more you want to try." An old standby that is effective and easy to remember is pair red meats and sauces with red wine, and white meats and sauces with white wine. Red wines have a bold, hearty flavor, Schmidtberger says, which is why they complement rich, flavorful foods. White wines, on the other hand, are refreshing palette cleansers that go well with the light flavor of white meat. But fear not if you want to have your steak and drink your chardonnay, too — the white chardonnay is sturdy enough to stand up to your steak. Or, if you're a red wine lover but tonight's menu features chicken, try a light red such as a pinot noir. When Copeland needs a recommendation for a good wine pairing, she visits Cork and Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd St. "I think the staff is really friendly there and they'll answer your questions. That's how I found the Chocolate Box wine; they've introduced me to a lot of different things." Copeland doubles the guilty pleasure she takes in dark chocolate desserts with a dark red glass of Chocolate Box wine, which runs about $17 per bottle. Many online resources exist for the tech-savvy — if not wine-knowledgeable — among us. One such site, Winewebcentral.com, has a simple pairing guide that is divided into three steps. First, choose your course from the four main categories that are broken down by meat type, including vegetarian. Then, choose the main flavoring from options such as barbecue, garlic and mushroom. The chart provides three or four suitable pairings rated for the dish as good, better and best. But to really find out what you like and what flavors go together, you just have give combinations a try. Ken Baker, owner and executive chef of Pachamamas, 800 New Hampshire St., says wine pairing is a hands-on experience that you can develop through practice. When creating a menu, Baker usually chooses his recipes and picks wines based on the flavors, as opposed to choosing the wine and creating the food menu around it. This method is good for beginners because it is much easier to choose a wine based on the flavors of a meal than to discern the flavors of the wine first. A good way to get started is by attending a wine tasting. Pachamama's, 800 New Hampshire St., holds wine tastings each Friday night from 6 to 8 p.m. Every tasting features four or five wines with hors d'oeuvres for $25 to $35 per person, and the wines sampled typically cost $10 to $20 per bottle. With a little advice and a little trial and error, you can be on your way to wine-pairing perfection in no time. JP CERVEJA AIRY BREAD Fine wine and dining. The basic rule of wine pairing is to put white wine with your white sauces and meats and red wine with red sauces and meats. But don't让 this stay you from drinking your alcohol with a tasty dinner.

Cooking for yourself doesn't always mean you can cook at home. Tired of frozen dinners? Cooking for yourself doesn't always require natural talent or a big budget. Cooking up a storm. Coming to college, most students find themselves needing to prepare meals for the first time. With time constraints and limited kitchen access, it can be difficult to concoct a tasty and inexpensive meal. To avoid eating ramen for the majority of your college years, consider selective grocery shopping and find ingredients that will make enjoyable and easy creations. If you find a passion for cooking, feel free to experiment. Photo illustration by Karsten Lunde It s 4:45 on Monday evening at Battenfeld Scholarship Hall. In the kitchen, Josh Patterson and Joel Haug stand over one of three 9 by 13 inch metal baking pans sitting on the stainless steel kitchen counters; filled with ingredients for chicken pot pie. Patterson, Pittsburg junior, and Haug, Atchison sophomore, are on dinner duty tonight. In a couple of hours, they will feed 50 hungry Battenfeld residents. The hall's kitchen looks like one you'd find in a professional restaurant. There are industrial-sized ovens, a fryer and a giant fridge. The kitchen drawers have labels ranging from "measuring cups," to "Gloves! Like skin, but disposable!" Patterson and Haug stretch out a sheet of crust dough between them, and slowly lower it onto the pan, covering up the gravity, chicken and vegetables that make up the filling. Patterson takes a knife and trims off the excess dough. He surveys his work for a moment. The food looks like the very definition of the word "hearty." "Beautiful," he says, before moving on to the next pan. Patterson has been a dinner cook here since freshman year. He says he'd had some experience cooking at home before coming to the University, but cooking at Battenfeld proved to be very different. He's learned that some dishes don't work when cooking for 50 people. "I tried making Weinerschnitzel." Patterson says. "It took a long time. It was messy. You have to tenderize the meat and make it flat, so there was juice squirting everywhere. I learned not to be so ambitious." Chris Worley, Columbia, Mo. senior, also lives in Battenfeld and has been a dinner cook off-and-on during the four yeats he's lived in the hall. He originally signed up to learn how to cook. "When I got to college, I couldn't make mac and cheese," Worley says. "I can cook three or four good meals now without having to look at a recipe. I'm at a point where I can find a recipe online and say 'I want to try that.'" Living away from home brings plenty of challenges. One of those challenges is food. Some of us come to college with no idea how to cook. Between class, homework and a depleted budget, sometimes it feels like the only thing you can make is a measly package of ramen noodles. If you're someone who likes to cook, life as a student can take a toll on enjoying the culinary arts. If you're someone who's just beginning, it can make the task seem even more daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Careful grocery buying and researching recipes can allow a surprising amount of exploration into the world of cooking, whether your constraints are space, money or time. BIG IDEAS, TINY STORES Javon Shackelford loves to cook. "There are some people who paint; some people who craft. I cook," the Salina freshman says. "When I start cooking, nothing else matters." Growing up, both of Shackelford's parents worked, often leaving him home alone. Since he had to take care of himself, cooking was a skill Shackelford picked up quickly. He started with grilled cheese when he was six years old, and worked his way up to making risotto for the first time in seventh grade. Now, Shackelford lives in McCollum Hall, and uses the dorm's basement kitchen to whip up his meals. The situation isn't ideal, but he doesn't let it limit what he makes. Shackelford's biggest success so far has been goo bars, also known as gooey butter cake. It's made of a cake batter, egg and butter crust, and an egg, powdered sugar and cream cheese filling. "If I am feeling kind of saucy, I cook pasta. If I'm down on my luck, I make Southern comfort food." Shackelford says. "It really just depends on what I'm craving and what type of mood I'm in." STRETCHING A DOLLAR Chelsea Mertz, Topeka senior, became a vegan in college after she found out she was lactose intolerant. This means she doesn't eat meat, dairy or eggs. Mertz is also an avid cook. She often makes meals with her brother and teaches a cooking class at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries center, where she also helps out with the organization's weekly vegetarian lunch. Mertz says she finds veganism to be an inexpensive lifestyle, because she doesn't buy specialty items, and it also helps her control her weight. She says she likes to make rice-based dishes, because they're healthy and the ingredients are inexpensive. Mertz's monthly grocery bill is usually $50 or $60. To save money, she buys in bulk, because she can buy the amount of ingredients she needs. She buys frozen juice concentrate and uses dry beans instead of canned. Mertz also says that there are plenty of ingredient substitutions cooks can use to save money or cater to dietary needs, such as replacing the eggs in brownies with applesauce or bananas. Kimberley Morales, San Francisco-based creator of the food blog "Poor Girl Eats Well," dedicates her site to sharing recipes that are inexpensive to make. In each post, she notes the cost per serving of her recipes, most of which are around $3. Morales, whose dishes for her blog include chicken in wild mushroom-chipotle sauce and cookies and cream cheesecake shots, says careful grocery shopping allows her to make all kinds of unexpected dishes. "I've found things I never knew existed at such reduced prices, simply by looking carefully at everything that's in that particular aisle." Morales says. "I end up exploring interesting ingredient combinations and come up with some great salads, soups and other dishes. The sky's the limit!" Morales says her cardinal rule of grocery shopping is to avoid any foods that have been cut or shredded already, such as pre-shredded cheese. 04 08 10 8 FEATURE ✩ "Sure, the convenience is great, but when it only takes a few minutes and a few tears to chop up some onions that I bought at 69 cents a pound, why would I pay $2 or more for a small 8-ounce bag of pre-cut onions that have been treated with some sort of strange preservative so they don't spoil quickly?" Morales says. A regular shopping trip sets Morales back $45 to $50, including food for her cat, and will usually last her two to three weeks. She shops at stores that offer non-national brand name foods, such as Trader Joe's, as well as major chains. For produce, Morales says natural food coops (Lawrence has the Merc) and local farmers markets offer a better quality of produce, and make her feel good by supporting local farmers and merchants. "Cutting out the middleman also reduces costs for the consumer, so this is a great way to shop." Morales says. RACING THE CLOCK Time can be an enemy when it comes to cooking in college, but preparing meals in advance can save you. Slow-cooker meals, such as soups, stews or curries keep well and don't take a lot of effort to prepare. Get your ingredients ready in the morning, put them in the crock pot, and leave them to cook. By the time you're ready to eat, your dinner will be, too. Another option is to make food ahead of time, freeze it, and warm it up when you need a quick meal on the go. Want to make time for a meal with friends, but don't want to spend all day in the kitchen? Mertz suggests potlucks as a cheap and fun way for friends to cook for each other and hang out. In a world of student loans, rent, car payments and numerous demands on your time, it's easy to hit the culinary doldrums. But with a little creativity, it isn't as hard as it first appears, whether you're an experienced cook trying to work with a tiny kitchen or a budget, or a newcomer looking for easy ways to make good food. There are plenty of options for busy, budget-conscious cooks who want to make food for themselves or others. For some students, like Shackelford, feedback from his dinners gives him pride and also helps him improve. "I get great satisfaction out of people who taste my food and really understand it," Shackelford says. "If they don't enjoy it, I require them to provide constructive criticism. I enjoy that because it makes me better!" ALEXANDRA CAMERON Photo illustration by Karsten Lunde Simmering medley.

"Let's do a grooved-out disco-funk thing," Stephen Gunn, Mouth's drummer, says. The band's electric bass player, Zach Rizer, nods, looks to his rainbow of sound alteration pedals and taps three buttons with his foot. Rizer rhythmically plucks his bass, causing his amp to sound like an arcade space invasion. Gunn lays a danceable beat and Jeremy Anderson, the trio's guitarist, complements Rizer's bass line with a trance-inducing melody. "Ghetto-ass mix-a-lot," Gunn says, and Mouth's sound transforms accordingly. The trio's palette of improvisational capabilities spans far beyond the previous two suggestions. "We don't try to have a certain genre." Anderson says. "We take elements of music that make people dance and put them together." They examine such dance catalysts in funk, hip-hop, electronic, Latin dance music and others. Mouth's improvisational influences come from jazz artists such as Jojo Mayor, Victor Wooten and Madeski as well as Martin & Wood. "They have a mentality about music that helps us come up with what we find," Rizer says. Mouth's compositions spawn in practice jam sessions, and then develop once they explore the song's potential. Their songs, like many jazz compositions, have structured areas and places for creative improvisation. "Audience members come to us and ask us about our sweet new song when it was just a variation of one of our old songs." Rizer says. Mouth's songs also evolve with their resources. Rizer and Anderson spend hours researching alteration pedals for their instruments to carefully expand their sound credentials. They have supplemented their experience by featuring guest musical and video performance artists at recent shows.

Why? Because we are unsure of what to talk about and how to build attraction. I think people should focus on having a great time, rather than searching for commonalities through endless interrogations. Nothing builds attraction faster than having fun. Something fun to do on a date is to play a game. Why not gamble? For example, you are on a date and really into the guy or girl. You've had one drink and are worried to ask if he or she wants another. Or perhaps you want a kiss. Use a game to make these awkward situations easier and build attraction. Try Neill Strauss' five questions game. Tell the person you're into that you are going to ask five questions. If you get a false answer to every question, the other person wins and you'll buy the next round. But, if he or she answers truthfully to any of the questions, the next round is on him or her. Ask something such as "Where are we sitting right now?" Your date will think this is easy and answer, "The moon." Pause a bit before you ask the next question. Make sure the next question is something about your appearance or looks so that he or she can see how great you look. You ask, "What kind of shoes am I wearing?" The guy or girl gives some crazy answer such as moon boots. Ask a third question, which should also be about your looks. Then comes the hook — after a brief pause, ask, "How many questions was that?" The other person, thinking he or she is smart, will smile and say something like, "Twelve. You thought I was going to answer truthfully." You smile, sit back and praise your horttie's ability. You then say, "Oh, you've played this game before, haven't you?" This is where the person will lose the bet. In his or her excitement and desire to show you cleverness, the other person will say, "No way, I've never even heard of this game!" And you've won the game. In the end, your date will think it's a cute game, find you more interesting (depending on the way you deliver it) and you get a free drink, kiss, or whatever you set as the stakes. Why do we feel pressured to treat those initial dates as an interview? I think you'll learn a lot more about someone by just having a fun time, rather than interrogating your date.

VEGETARIAN BISTRO If you're like me, when you think vegetarian, you think light, bland, puny and self-righteous. But I can say the Tenth Street Vegetarian Bistro set me straight. With its menu at the forefront, the unassuming bistro, at 125 E. 10th St., breaks down those preconceived notions of meat-free as it covers French, American, Italian — and more boldly — vegan oriental cuisine. Partly as a personal test, this was the area I chose from. I had the sweet and sour tofu. Or rather, it had me. I have grown to avoid “sweet and sour” dishes because it usually means a thick, almost grainy syrup smothering deep-fried animal innards. But here, I gave sweet and sour a shot and was pleasantly surprised with what I got: A fresh, colorful dish with lots of veggies and fruits. The thing that put the sweet in the sour was a purre of apples, pears, peaches, pineapples, and even bananas. Don't freak out — you don't taste any one specifically. Also hanging on my plate were Asian favorites broccoli, celery and peanuts for a nice crunch. The whole thing was topped off with squishy tofu and tempeh wedges with asparagus. The specs of the dish sound like a circus, and it was. But it's a cohesive one. The bed of rice common denominating it all leaves you with such a round, warm taste you'd swear there was butter. The best part? The food gives you a wholesome, clean-feeling, full stomach, rather than the typical full feeling (as if you've slurped from a toxic waste barrel, in the case of standard sweet and sour dishes). Inside the bistro, the ceiling fans, packaged candles and framed pictures give the comfort of your mother's living room. Be sure to catch the specials written by the sidewalk. The price of most items ranges from $7 to $15. ✩✩// JACOB MUSELMANN TORO PIZZA PAPA JOHNS PRESENTS... BEAT THE CLOCK THE TIME IS YOUR PRICE!

GRASPING FOR HOPE How one text message changed my life forever // LINDSAY CLEEK SOX SOX Royal's I Contributed Photo All in the family. At a Kansas City Royals' game are (left to right) Lindsay her father nephews, Will and Jake, niece, Hannah, and sister, Karla. Karla lost her battle with bile cancer three years ago, when Lindsey discovered on the site to support her in Kansas City. Contributed Photo was headed to Kansas City to meet my friend Tyler for a concert when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket As I flipped open my pink RAZR phone and read the text message from my mom, my heart sank. "Call me," was all she said, but I knew that those two words meant, and I quickly hit the dial button. My mom broke the news that my sister, Karla, had lost her year-long battle with bile duct cancer. I wasn't surprised, but I was no less devastated. Tears began to stream down my cheeks and the rest of my drive that afternoon was a blur. My sister was 49 years old when she died, while I was just 18. My siblings span generations because my parents span them — my 75-year-old dad is almost 23 years older than my mom. They were both married before and had children in those marriages. Because 30 years separated Karla and me, she often felt more like an aunt than a sister. Because of our age difference, my sister always seemed overprotective and I often resented the authority she had over me. It seemed that during every vacation she was constantly bugging me to apply more sunscreen or to accept her offering of hand sanitizer after touching anything that could be germ-ridden. Since Karla was a passionate librarian, I could always count on her for a new book under the tree each Christmas, and she continued to send them even though she knew they'd likely end up gathering dust in my closet. Ultimately, she did finally accept my disinterest in reading for leisure and sent me a new wristwatch for my high school graduation instead. Karla was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in the fall of 2005. Her cancer was so rare (only about 2,000 people are diagnosed in the U.S. each year) that the only treatments available were experimental methods and the survival rate was not encouraging. I vividly remember the day Karla called my dad from her home in Rhode Island to tell him about her diagnosis. I was in a rush to get out of the house that Saturday morning to get to my high school for a marching band competition when I found my dad sobbing in my mom's arms in the kitchen. I was running late, so my mom told me about my sister's call and sent me on my way promising to update me later. I went through the motions with my school band that morning but was constantly checking my cell phone as my mom sent me details of Karla's diagnosis. These updates were my constant companion over the next year as she went through each treatment and went in and out of remission. Instead of taking her diagnosis as a death sentence, Karla spent her final year celebrating her favorite things in life. Without hesitation she bought season tickets to the Broadway series at the Providence Performing Arts Center in Rhode Island. She traveled to the Florida Keys, Puget Sound and accompanied my niece on a school trip to Selma, Ala. It was hard for me to fathom how my sister always managed to keep such a positive attitude. Shortly after her death, my dad told me a few things about Katla's life that helped me understand where her undying resilience came from. During their 27-year marriage, Karla and her husband, Jason, had four children. In 1989, my nephew Lane died in a freak accident when he was just 2 years old. While playing with his brother, Lane choked on a piece of the carrot he had been eating and he was unable to be resuscitated. A few months later, Karla was overjoyed to become pregnant with her third child. However, after carrying my niece for eight months, doctors advised my sister that because of complications, her baby wasn't likely to live long after birth. Karla named her unborn daughter Hope and carried the baby to term. Hope died just two hours after she was born. Despite the loss of two children in just one year, Karla refused to give up her dream of having another child. In 1992, my niece Hannah was born. Hannah is 18 now and is quickly turning into a spitting image of my sister. In August 2006, Karla made one final visit to our family in Kansas. One highlight of her visit was the trip we took to get my niece's ears pierced, an experience Karla wanted to make sure she shared with Hannah. In the four years since, I've made it a tradition to send a new pair of earrings to Hannah for Christmas or her birthday. On the last day of her visit, my sister spent hours playing with one of our kittens, a memory I cherish so much that I eventually got a tattoo to symbolize it. In the tattoo designed by my childhood friend, Johnny, my sister is memorialized on the left side of my back in the form of a car with blue eyes, the color of Karla's, sitting on a book bearing Karla's initials and holding a ball of yarn because she was an avid knitter. When I sent a picture to Hannah, she loved my new ink, but my brother-in-law remarked that Karla would've been mortified that I had a tattoo in her honor. The month of October 2006 was by far one of the hardest months of my life. Karla's illness was getting worse by the day, my parents had to put one of our cars to sleep. I was going through my first real break-up and my brother Mike filed for a divorce. All of these things combined with the stress of my first semester at college were beginning to get to me. When I received that awful text message from my mom, it felt like I'd reached rock bottom and my first thought was to turn my car around and return to my dorm. However, I knew that if I did Id end up crying in bed the rest of the night Sobbing, I pulled over and thought back to all of the things Karla overcame to make the most out of her life, even in her last year. In the spirit of my sister, I decided to go to the concert, trying my hardest to have a good night. Remembering Karla's undying hope is the only thing that got me through that night — and many more difficult ones since. It's been three years since my sister passed and she still inspires me on a daily basis. Her memory helps me to look at difficult situations and see hope and beginnings instead of endings.

CAMPUS Student raises money in protest "The only way to fight fire with fire is not to yell at them, but to do something that is the exact opposite and raise money for a charity that is against what they stand for;" Held said. As a Topeka-based extremist group protests the Brown Bag Drag 11:30 a.m. today in front of the Kansas Union, Daniel Held, a sophomore from Seattle, plans to have his own protest by raising money for Planned Parenthood. Held came up with the idea at 10 p.m. on Monday, and by Tuesday afternoon, he had raised almost $350. Held will be taking donations during his counterprotest, and each time a new donation comes in, Held plans to ring a bell and announce how much money he has raised. "I'm going to have a whiteboard that says, 'Because you are here, we have donated this much money,' and every time someone donates money, I'll erase it and update it," Held said. Held said his goal was to discourage future protests. "If every time they go somewhere, and people donated money for every minute they are at that place, they're going to stop showing up because people are supporting the things they hate," Held said. Held said he wanted to protest because he can't stand the extremist group's message and disagreees with everything they stand for. "Infuriating people by preaching hate is just disgusting," Held said. "What two consenting adults do on their own time, and doesn't affect me, shouldn't and doesn't affect them." Held said he plans on accepting donations from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in front of the Kansas Union.

Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, chair of inauguration committee, said the ceremony is taking place in April because of the amount of time it takes to plan and to coordinate difficult schedules. "Kathleen Sebelius became available at the last minute, which we are very excited about," McCluskey-Fawcett said. The speakers for the ceremony were chosen to represent different voices of the University and provide different perspectives, she said. "It's traditional for the governor to speak," McCluskey Fawcett said. "Dr. James Moeser was chosen to speak on behalf of the Chancellor because he was the chancellor at North Carolina that chose her to be provost, so he has a very long history with her." Tickets to the inauguration will be available Sunday in the Lied Center Lobby. The last KU inauguration installed Robert Hemenway 14 years ago. Hemenway stepped down as chancellor in 2009. During Hemenway's time as chancellor, he made the University more student-centered and oversaw advances in life sciences research — all while continuing to teach honors English courses, according to the chancellor's web site.

Bishop Victor Balke of the Diocese of Crookston told Jeyapail not to come back or he would go to the police, according to an e-mail sent by Balke and provided by a victim's attorney. Jeyapail was later charged with sexually assaulting the 14-year-old girl. Balke raised concerns with several top Vatican officials about Jeyapaul's continued service to the church.

The network on Thursday announced five new original series in addition to 10 announced previously. Along with Oprah's own new one-hour show, "Oprah's Next Chapter" OWN will bring Oprah BFF Gayle King's radio program to TV with the daily talk show "Gayle King Live!" Not surprisingly, the network has its share of inspiring fare, such as "Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind," a weekly glimpse inside the artistic processes of figures such as James Cameron, Lady Gaga and Tom Ford, as well as "Why Not? with Shania Twain," a one-hour series about the singer's life after the breakup of her marriage. Oprah also jumps full-on into the reality genre with "Your Own Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star" for which OWN is teaming up with Mark Burnett. Previously announced OWN series include "Oprah Presents: Master Class", in which Oprah chooses a slate of big names (Jay-Z, Simon Cowell, Bono and Condoleezza Rice among them) to offer some life lessons; a female-prison show called "Breaking Down the Bars"; "Enough Already" featuring de-cluttering expert Peter Walsh; a sex and relationship series, "In the Bedroom with Dr. Laura Berman"; and "The Miracle Detectives", which pits a skeptic and a believer against each other in an exploration of an amazing event. F COME JOIN US! As a way to say goodbye to her current talk show, the network will also air "Behind the Scenes: The Oprah Show Final Season."

At first, I was struck by how seemingly old-fashioned that was. Wasn't that how our grandparents used to dry their clothes? I thought everyone had drivers now But, after a little more consideration, I began to see the appeal of line-drying clothes. Why waste energy and money when there are less expensive, eco-friendly options available? A recent article in The New York Times by Alina Tugend addressed people's misuse and overuse of appliances. People are so caught up with the fast pace of American life that they often fail to read directions and do not take time to consider their options. A person shouldn't just do something the way his or her parents do because even parents are sometimes guilty of not reading directions. If you aren't willing to live life as our ancestors did, there are still ways to be energy efficient while using appliances. For example, if you insist on using an electric dryer, clean out the lint after every couple of loads. If the lint builds up to the extreme, as my mom tells me, "the laundry machine could explode." The explosion of a dryer means no more dryer for the owner and the need to buy a new one. Although I don't think this is a common occurrence, clogged up lint does decrease a dryer's efficiency. And, with the busy lives of college students, there is little extra time to wait for dry t-shirts. Iris Cohen Hanging clothes, using fewer supplies and unplugging electronics when not using them saves energy. This, in turn, saves money. College students who are frustrated with sky-high utility bills could lessen both by unplugging items not in use. Line-drying clothes eliminates electric dryer use and lessens a person's electric bill by up to 20 percent, said executive director of Project Laundry List Alexander P. Lee. Students who live in dorms and don't pay bills now may wonder how this applies to them. I hope, though, that these students still wash their clothes in a washing machine somewhere. In order to wash clothes, laundry detergent, which obviously costs money, is essential, but this is often used Organically Speaking inefficiently. One good way to save money is by actually reading the directions on the back of laundry detergent. BY RACHEL SCHWARTZ rschwartz@kansan.com In her column in the Times, Tugend states, "The No.1 sin, according to repair people and appliance experts, seems to be adding too much soap to washing machines or dishwashers." By reading the directions, soaps will last longer and the user won't have to spend money to buy more as often. Besides clothes washers and dryers, there are other appliances and electronics that take away energy. These include cell phones, computers, microwaves and more. After a phone or computer is charged, simply unplug the chargers. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, appliances and electronics continue to use energy when they are turned off and plugged in. These energy-sucking appliances are sometimes referred to as vampire appliances. The only way to stop their energy drainage is by unplugging them after use. However, I know that does not always happen. On hectic days, I sometimes run away from my Mac while it is still turned on, draining its battery and wasting energy. Using "Energy Star" labeled electronics can also save energy. For example, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, I could save up to 70 percent more energy if I had an Energy Star computer, even if I absent-mindedly left it plugged in. As if that isn't good enough, this would also improve the overall life of my computer, which would be helpful because I am not always at a place where I am able to charge it. I know this is a problem that many students are familiar with but, thanks to Energy Star and efficiency, the incidence of these problems can be reduced. Although line-drying clothes and hand writing essays are ideally the most energy efficient, some don't have the time or they desire our technological society. That is why it is good to know that living an eco-friendly life doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. By making small adjustments, such as unplugging appliances and cleaning lint from the dryer, everyone can save energy and money.

POLITICS Oil policy is compromise last month, President Obama threw environmentalists for a curve when he announced plans to expand offshore drilling in the U.S. Then, he turned around that same week and announced new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions for automobiles. Is Obama toying with environmentalists' emotions, or is this a part of a smart strategy for improving our energy economy and security? Certainly, the offshore drilling announcement was something of a disappointment for me, being something of an environmentalist. I would include myself among those who think the potential gains are not worth the environmental risks attached with drilling. However, I thought the proposal was worth a deeper look. Nearly 167 million acres of ocean along the East Coast and 130 million acres near northern Alaska will be open for oil exploration under Obama's proposal. But, the environmentally-fragile Bristol Bay will fall under federal protections. Essentially, this is a compromised version of a similar plan from President G.W. Bush. There exists a strong argument for expanding domestic production in the face of potential security threats posed by a reliance on foreign oil. The U.S. imports 58 percent of the oil it consumes annually. This weakens our global ability to project power. Political scientist Hans Morgentau once said that the abundance of natural resources in the U.S. is the source of much of its power. He said, "Countries enjoying self-sufficiency, such as the United States and Russia, need not divert their national energies and foreign policies from their primary objectives in order to make sure their populations will not starve in war." The standard environmentalist counter to this is that expanding domestic drilling in the proposed areas wouldn't come close to substantially decreasing our dependence on foreign oil. Although this holds some truth, Obama's announcement is more political maneuvering than compromising Political Planet BY DEVIN LOWELL A closer look at the policy behind the announcement reveals that, in truth, no new drilling is guaranteed to occur. New leases would only be granted to oil companies after various geologic and environmental reviews of the given lease proposals. Although many people find it difficult to have much trust in public officials, I'd like to believe that the Obama Interior Department and EPA would not allow a lease sale if a great environmental risk were posed by new drilling. core environmental values. Combine this with other recent Obama energy-related announcements, including replacing the federal vehicle fleet with hybrids, fueling Department of Defense vehicles with biodiesel and the regulation on greenhouse gases for new automobiles, and a strong political strategy for a transformed energy economy emerges. I hope that this stretch of new, energy-related policies will create bipartisan momentum for the energy and climate legislation about to be proposed by Senators Lindsey Graham, John Kerry and Joe Lieberman. Then again, I would've liked to believe in a similar bipartisan spirit around a health care plan that contained many proposals originating from conservatives. Either way, I don't think Obama has betrayed the various environmental interests with this new drilling proposal. Instead, it represents smart political posturing to build support for environmental legislation Americans should get behind. Lowell is a senior from Concordia in journalism and political science. MISTAKE TO OVERSIMPLIFY SOCIALISM LETTER TO THE EDITOR I would like to expand upon the analogy offered in an editorial comparing socialism and capitalism. The idea was that if student grades were averaged out, the best students would stop trying, thus proving socialism makes society lazy. But socialism isn't about taking away the rewards of the successful. Socialism is the allocation of public resources so that everybody will have a more fair chance to compete, or even survive. To use the classroom analogy, socialism would be like giving every student a syllabus on the first day of class; and if a student misses that first day of class, they can still get a syllabus at another time. Capitalism would be giving the first three or four students who show up to class a syllabus and ignoring everyone else. Real world example: government funding for suburbs in the 1950s, which helped create property appreciation for homeowners. The funding ignored minorities who were red-lined out of home loans. As a future millionaire myself, I'll have no problem paying more than my fair share of taxes for fire departments, libraries and health care because I know that having my neighbor's house burn down doesn't help me, having illiterate people doesn't help me and having sick people doesn't help me. Even if I'm a firefighter, librarian or doctor, these don't help because I could've used that time or money on something new (see: Broken Window Fallacy). As a last note, America can implement socialist policies — and has for centuries — without being socialist; much in the way that I can drink a beer without being an alcoholic. So stop looking for the simplest answer, because more times than not, it's not simple. — Nick Adams is a junior from Manhattan.

Edited by Meqan Heacock Engineering students plan pancake feed for Haiti relief BY SAMANTHA FOSTER sfoster@kansan.com Students in the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows program are flipping flapjacks for a good cause. SELF students set the goal for Saturday's third annual Flapjacks for Philanthropy fundraiser at $4,000, which is double the amount of money collected at last year's event. The profits from the pancake feed will go to Habitat for Humanity for Haiti relief. where the money from the fundraiser should go. They chose Haiti relief and then decided to go through Habitat for Humanity because the organization already had a strong presence in Haiti. Samantha Forbes, a sophomore from Kearney, Mo., and chair of the event, said the group decided to double the goal because of increased efforts to solicit community and campuswide support. "We decided that, as engineers, the relief part and rebuilding of Haiti would be an important part for us to focus on." Forbes said. Joey Meyer, a junior from St. Louis and president of KU Habitat for Humanity, said Habitat International has been working in Haiti to build homes that will withstand earthquakes This year's organizers "We decided that, as engineers,the relief part and rebuilding of Haiti would be an important part for us to focus on." Forbes said the sophomores in the SELF program, who are in charge of the event, brainstormed "Last year they marketed it just to the School of Engineering but this year we're trying to make it a campus-wide event." Forbes said. SAMANTHA FORBES Chair of fundraiser asked for corporate sponsors by sending out letters through KU Endowment. They have already raised $1,300 through donations from three companies, and other companies have donated prizes for the raffle or bought tickets for the pancake feed. supplies. Meyer said the pancake feed would be a fun event for people to go to and be able to help Haiti at the same time. Forbes said the money from last year's Flapjacks for Philanthropy FLAPJACKS FOR PHILANTHROPY "It's a fun event, but I think on a more serious note with Haiti and all that they're going through, this is a more serious event where we don't have to go down, although we want to go down — we can do something good here," Meyer said. WHEN: Saturday, 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. WHERE: Eaton Hall HOW MUCH: ■ Pancake feed — $5 in advance or $6 at the door ■ Raffle tickets — $2 each or 3 for $5 fundraiser also went to Habitat for Humanity, but it went to help a local family. Forbes said Chris Cakes, a catering company based in the Kansas City area, was making the pancakes for the fundraiser. She said the company makes the pancakes very quickly and then flips them at the customers, so it's "an exciting sports game almost." The SELF program is a leadership enrichment program for engineering students that was started three years ago. Forbes said students in the program get to practice their managing and organizing skills by planning events like this fundraiser, which Forbes said is their big event for the spring, and a high school design program in the fall, which the SELF students organized for the first time this year. The fundraiser will be held Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in Eaton Hall. — Edited by Cory Bunting STATE Parkinson decision puts future of casino in doubt Governor refuses to grant reprieve to casino developers ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA, Kan. — A proposed casino south of Wichita was in doubt Thursday after Gov. Mark Parkinson refused to grant its developers a regulatory reprieve. Partners in the $225 million Chisholm Creek project wanted to delay a state board's decision on their plans. They said they must have local zoning issues settled and need to know whether legislators will rewrite Kansas' gambling laws to make their project less profitable. The Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board reluctantly put off a vote for 60 days after Chisholm Creek officials said this week that theyd abandon the project otherwise — even if the board approved it. But under state law, only Parkinson could extend the board's April 19 deadline. Parkinson rejected the board's request for an extension. He noted that the state's current budget already anticipates collecting an upfront, $25 million fee from Chisholm Creek for the right to build and manage the casino for the Kansas Lottery. "The state of Kansas needs a clear understanding of its finances." Parkinson said in a statement. "It is in everybody's best interests to move forward with this proposal in a timely manner and to avoid further delays." Chisholm Creek attorney John Frieden said the partnership is still considering how to respond. He said Kansas law limits the governor's discretion in denying a deadline extensi- possible," he said. "It is in everybody's best interests to move forward with this proposal in a timely manner and to avoid further delays." The state would claim not only Chisholm Creek would build its casino near Mulvane, about 20 miles south of Wichita. Under Kansas law, the lottery would own the rights to the new gambling and the gambling equipment, down to the cards and dice. "The action of the governor failed to follow the law and consequently has jeopardized state revenues this year and perhaps forever for a state-owned gaming operation in south-central Kansas." Frieden said. MARK PARKINSON Kansas governor Chairman Matt All said the review board will meet before April 19 to vote on the project. "We didn't really see a strong reason to delay it either, but we were trying to be as accommodating to the applicant as its $25 million fee but 22 percent of the gambling revenues. The lottery and local officials have been trying to bring a casino to Sumner County for more than two years, and Chisholm Creek was the only remaining applicant. Janis Helland, director of the county's economic development office, said even if Chisholm Creek pulls out, an improving economy will make a casino investment attractive. "We're very optimistic about it and feel like it's still a good location," she said. ON CAMPUS APT. FEST 2010 UDK + APT. ASSOCIATION OF LAWRENCE APRIL 14, 2010 APARTMENT HUNTING IS A PAIN.

She becomes the fifth Jav Hawk in history selected by the WNBA Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO McCray heading to WNBA PAGE 1B Senior drafted seventh overall by Connecticut Sun BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com The WNBA may soon cover to the pick and roll of the revamped Connecticut Sun. The Sun selected Danielle McCray No. 7 overall in the first round of the WNBA draft Thursday. They also took the National Player of the Year, Connecticut's Tina Charles with the No.1 pick, establishing a lethal inside-outside combo for years to come. "You've got to be able to score in the WNBA. Everybody wants kids that can score and we've all watched for years how many ways she can score," coach Bonnie Henrickson said of McCrav. Some draft experts predicted that the Olathe native's stock had dropped after she tore the ACL in her left knee during a midseason practice. While her rehabilitation process will continue to move steadily, McCray's early selection on draft day disproved that theory. "Your opportunity is delayed, it's not denied," Henrickson said to McCray after the injury. Because of her time off the court, Henrickson said that McCray was able to improve her basketball IQ. She developed a greater understanding of previously overshadowed aspects of the game as she sat on the sideline between assistant coaches and observed. everything, Men's or women's, it doesn't matter. She loves to watch the game." "She's a junkie," Henrickson said. "I mean she watches McCray's passion for basketball and natural talent may ideally mesh with the rebuilding team that she will join after her rehabilitation. Last season, the Sun finished 16-18 and missed the playoffs. Then it made a blockbuster trade, swapping shooting guard Lindsay Wahlen and the No. 2 pick with the Minnesota Lynx for point guard Renee Montgomery and the No. 1 pick. The trade sent Whalen and Montgomery back to the states of their respective alma maters (Minnesota and Connecticut) and also paved the path for McCray, who becomes the Sun's freshly installed scorer. She may not start immediately, considering both her injury and teammate seniority, but the Sun envision McCray as a capable replacement to Whalen and a cornerstone of its future. "When that happened, I thought maybe they were trying to get her at No. 7." Henrickson said of Connecticut's trade.

Memories from last season aside, when Kansas (19-10-1, 3-2-1) begins its third conference series tonight in Austin against No. 6 Texas, both teams' starting pitching will take the forefront. "They're going to come out extra hard to try and beat us," Stanfield said. The Jayhawks know that the Longhorns remember it, too. The Longhorns boast one of the best pitching staffs in Division I, with the rotation headed up by ace Taylor Jungmann, and book-ended by a stout bulpen. Because of Texas' pitching prowess, coach Ritch Price said the only way the lajahawks would have a successful weekend was if their three starters could pitch three quality outings. "We're going go face the team Texas may only have a .278 team batting average — last in the Big 12 — but the team can certainly hit for power. It has hit a conference-best 34 home runs this season. with the best starting pitching and best bullpen in America, and we're going to have to pitch at their level," Price said. Saturday's starter Cameron Selik said he was undaunted by facing his third ranked team of the season. Stanfield echoed Selik's sentiments, saying he's confident that the Jayhawk starters can limit the Longhorns offensively. "The great thing about our starters is regardless of whether or not they have their best stuff, they battle out there and give us a chance to win." Stanfield said. Even if Kansas' pitchers turn in a weekend's worth of sound effuses, the burden also falls on the hitters to string together tough at bats. "Everyone on our team will say they're up for the challenge." Selik said. "We need to make sure we put KANS Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 6B Junior pitcher T.J.

COMMENTARY C.J. not following brother for a reason BY TIM DWYER Wednesday was Xavier Henry's day, so, when the question came up about what Xavier's departure meant for him, Xavier's older brother C.J. shrugged it off. "I'm not here to discuss anything about me," C.J. said. "I'm just here to support Xavier." It seemed to certify what most people were assuming. With Xavier goes his brother. C.J. Henry would become the proud owner of the least memorable career in Kansas history. After all, if he was staying, he would have just said so. However, at least according to coach Bill Self, the elder Henry will be back. Henry I have a theory on why he chose to come back, and why it's been the right decision all along, regardless of what some peers in the industry thought. Most people argued that C.J. Henry abandoned his injury-riddled minor league career after being a first-round draft pick of the New York Yankees because he wanted to come to school and play basketball with his brother. But if that were the case, he wouldn't have done it a year before Xavier ever enrolled in college. C.J. spent last year burning a medical redshift on the Memphis Tigers bench under then-coach John Calpari. Here's my theory (and that's all it is): C.J. Henry, as good an athlete as he is — and that's incredibly good, if he's a former first-round pick in baseball that's good enough to be a recruit, twice, of one of the best programs in college basketball — has failed once as a professional athlete. Even though it is largely because of injuries that Henry didn't make it as a shortstop in the Yankees' farm system, that doesn't change the fact that he didn't make it. I feel that C.J. Henry came back to school to give himself the best shot left to make a living playing sports. That chance lies in basketball, and leaving school would be an abrupt halting of that opportunity. Even if Henry finishes out his eligibility, there is no certainty that he has a shot at the NBA, although a professional career in Europe appears to be a legitimate possibility at this point. If you look at Henry, though, you see a lot of the tools that make an NBA prospect. He's a 6-foot-4 point guard that plays a relatively error-free game and has range extending well past the three-point line. He's not a dominant slasher in the mold of John Wall or Derrick Rose, and he'll never be the quickest player on the floor, but he does a lot of things right. He certainly has the ability — if he can stay healthy for the first time in six years — to at least be a contributor for the 2010-11 Jayhawks. And if he can do that, Henry's professional aspirations may finally come to light. Just like leaving for the NBA was the right decision for his little brother, C.J. Henry's decision to stay at Kansas will prove to be in his best interests. - Edited by Cory Bunting 2B SPORTS / FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "Some people have asked me whether or not Rickey Henderson belonged in the Hall of Fame.

I try to relive my high school basketball glory days at least once a week, even though pickup basketball is a completely different beast. — and what kind of games produce Big 10-style basketball — you know, slow and sloppy. By now, I think I've learned what kind of games produce the best basketball — you know, open and free-flowing PETER HUNG Some rules are uniform: Winners stay, the ball must be passed after it's checked in and players that win get a couple minutes off to catch their breath. Now here's the Morning Brew's rules for Rec Ball. They are sure to upset some people, but I feel the implementation of these rules would increase the level of pickup basketball. 1. Games should be 1s and 2s to 15. Period. In this system, baskets worth two points in a regular game of basketball are worth one and three-pointers are worth two. The other scoring system makes every basket, regardless of location, a single point. Those games run to 12. The common argument for a 12-point system is that it finishes quicker, allowing the next five players to get on the court. But if each team hits three three-pointers, which happens a lot because of the doubled value of the shot, the 15-point game ends just as quick as a 12-point game. It is also a more similar game to the one we all know: the one with a three-point line. 2. Offensive player calls fouls, but you have to call it quick. You can't call a foul after you see your shot bang off the rim. As soon as you feel the contact, you must call "Foul" or something similar so BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@ekansan.com twitter.com/clark_goble — Kathleen Gier play doesn't continue. If you're going to call it late in the game, it better be legit. Nothing is more irritating than the guy who doesn't call the hand check in the first half of the game and calls a touch foul with the game on the line. In college and NBA basketball, fouls are called less often in the closing moments because fans want to see players play without whistles. There are no fans for Rec ball, but the same principle applies. Don't consider the moment when making the call. 3. If your team has the next game, you must be waiting on the sideline. Putting your team in on several courts at once is just bad Rec etiquette. You can't expect to hold on to the next game if you're wandering around to other courts. 4. Cherry-picking is not allowed. Cherry-picking is when a player doesn't get back to play defense and instead hangs around on the far side of the court away from the game action. It usually leads to an easy layup. In non fast-break situations, players should be required to at least pass half-court before looking to score. THE MORNING BREW 5. Finally, all lasting disputes should be settled by the offensive team taking a three-point shot from the top of the key. A make gives the ball back to the offense, a miss turns it over. Offense can choose the shooter. In all likelihood, there won't be some radical reformation in the rules of pickup basketball at the Rec. But simply considering the best rules for a more fun game will enhance the quality of basketball on the court. If you agree with any or all of the rules, try to implement them in the next game. If you disagree, just be sure to consider why your rules are better than these. FRIDAY YOUTUBE SESH Obviously, there are tons of rules variations. But the better variation is the different types of people who play. Search "11 Guys You'll Always Find Playing Pickup Basketball" on YouTube and enjoy.

PGA Woods posts four-under in first round at Augusta ASSOCIATED PRESS Even more surprising, he felt that way, too. AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods played like the last five months never happened. No longer the same person after he was caught cheating on his wife, Woods looked every bit the same golfer Thursday when he opened with a 4-under 68 — his best first round ever at Augusta National — that left him only two shots behind 50-year-old Fred Couples on an extraordinary opening day at the Masters. Couples, who played a practice round with Woods on Monday, sauntered along in tennis shoes and no socks and shot a 6-under 66. It was his best score ever at the Masters and made him the oldest player to be the outright leader for any round. "I never really thought about what I was shooting," said Couples, who already has won three times this year on the 50-and-older Champions Tour. "It was a fun day for me. I still think I can play, and if I putt well I've got to be some kind of factor in my mind." Tom Watson, at 60 the oldest player in this Masters, picked up from his amazing ride at last year's British Open with a bogey-free round of 67 that left him tied with Lee Westwood, Phil Mickelson, PGA champion Y.E. Yang and K.J. Choi. Hitting for hours "My goals were to play better than I've played in the last five or six years, and I achieved that — for the first round," Watson said. "I'm playing pretty well.

Self supportive of players who are ready for NBA play He has a combin ed record of 202- 43 in seven seasons with Kansas. He finishes at the top of the Big 12 almost every year. He even has a championship. FCA Self And after freshman guard Xavier Henry declared for the draft, it was Self's first one and done player, which is why he thinks it may "Self's never had a one-and-done guy." Self said, imitating his critics. "Why would you want to go there? Or, they'll hold you back there." Self said he doesn't care about whether his recruit is a one-and-done player or not. He has had NBA-caliber players over the years, but in recent memory only one Darrell Arthur in 2008 But this season, Self signed Henry knowing he would probably be gone if he had a good season - left before his junior year. this year. He spent months trying to get Henry to come to Kansas, if only for this season. for one." Self said. And Self wouldn't hesitate to do it all over. But the talk about Self having an NBA-ready freshman just to sit on the bench and develop, he said, is ridiculous. All that matters is who can help him win games, and Henry was a perfect example. "Id put four years in again to recruit Xavier if we could get him "I'd put four years in again to recruit Xavier if we could get him for one." Even Henry found it beneficial to spend a year in college, and not just for developing his basketball skill-set. "I'm more prepared now than I really would have been in high school from a work ethic standpoint and from a mind-set standpoint," Henry said. Knowing he had players on the team who were potential highpick selections in the NBA draft. Self said he set his players up to succeed, without changing his game plan. Henry wasn't asked to do much scare away some recruits. this season and it worked for him. Senior guard Sherron Collins and junior center Cole Aldrich were the mainstays of the layhawks, but Henry had his opportunities. No matter what the age, Self said, a player can go whenever he is ready. But Self has mixed feelings about the one-and-done rule. He said Wednesday that the rule helps a college get a great ambassador for their program and gets the player an education. "If he's a junior, you say go," he said. "So why wouldn't you say go as a freshman?" On the other hand, and only in a few isolated instances, a player could technically stay in school with six credit hours under his belt. Henry chose to take 36. "I think it's a bad rule, but not in his case," Self said. "It's a bad rule because you could make a mockery out of it if you chose to."

LONGHORNS KU aims for consecutive Texas sweeps KANSAS OPENING PITCH TEXAS OPENING PITCH ATAGLANCE The layhawks (19-10-1, 3-2-1) have won seven of their last 10 games, and have opened each of their Big 12 series with a victory on Friday night. Kansas swept then top-ranked Texas last season at Hoglund Ballpark. Will the Jayhawks be able to score enough runs against the Longhorns? QUESTION MARK Texas' pitching staff has been nothing short of remarkable this season. As a team the Longhorns' staff boasts an impressive 2.57 ERA and holds opposing hitters to a meager .219 batting average. While the Jayhawk pitchers need to throw well, the offense still needs to produce runs to win. PLAYER TO WATCH Junior right fielder Casey Lytle As the Jayhawks lead-off man, it's Lytle's responsibility to work deep into the count and set the table for the rest of the lineup. When Lyltle gets on base he menaces Kansas' opponents, having scored 30 runs with eight stolen bases. If Lyltle can get the Jayhawks started early and often, it could be a long weekend for the Longhorn pitchers. BY THE NUMBERS Ruh Seven sa If Texas h 4.77 — Kansas' staff ERA .306 — Kansas' team batting average .276 — opposing batting average against Kansas QUOTE "If we can go down there and play well, I think we have a good enough team that we can hang with them," junior third baseman Tony Thompson said. PROJECTED STARTING PITCHERS — Junior T.J. Walz: Walz has eight career victories against teams ranked in the top 25. The junior has also won the first game of Kansas' last three weekend series. Considering Walz' competition (Taylor Jungmann — 3-1, 2.94 ERA) he needs to start the weekend with an especially strong outing. Senior Cameron Selik: Despite a career-high eight strikeouts last Saturday against No. 22 Texas A&M, Selik suffered his second loss of the season after a late rally. The burly right-hander is Kansas' most outwardly confident pitcher, and that swagger should help him in Austin. Senior Brett Bollman: With a fastball that tops out in the high-80's, Bollman isn't going to overpower anyone. But he's a control whiz who fools hitter with sharp off-speed pitches. If Bollman can give the Jayhawks five or six strong innings on Sunday, they have a great chance. A SERIES OUTLOOK The Longhorns undoubtedly remember getting swept at Hoglund last year, and they should be eager to exact their revenge. But if Kansas can get quality starts from its pitchers and find a way to manufacture runs against Texas' hurlers, then it has a good chance to earn a few road victories in Austin. BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) up runs for our pitching staff; junior Tony Thompson said. Though the layhawks average 7.5 runs per game, they'll have their hands full against the aforementioned Longhorns staff. Its team ERA (2.55) is nearly a full run better than the conference's next best. Texas' staff is also coming off a series against Oklahoma where it Despite the Longhorns' impressive numbers from the mound, Stanfield said he knew the Jayhawks could hit against anyone. allowed only three runs in a three-game series sweep. "Our bats have been coming through in key situations lately," he said. And in regards to last season's sweil, Selik acknowledged this was a different Kansas team — but one that was more than capable of knocking off Texas on the road. "We all know they remember it," Selik said. "But we can't let anything like that get to us. We'll let them worry about all those emotions and just play our game."

The Longhorns' sweep against Oklahoma last week moved them three games ahead of second-place Kansas State. QUESTION MARK Junior pitcher Chance Ruffin Can Kansas out-pitch the Longhorns? In order for Kansas to win two games or get the outright sweep of Texas, two things must happen: The starters need to go at least six to eight innings into the game and the bullpen needs to hold leads. Tanner Poppe and the bullpen did a great job of that against Creighton on Wednesday. Can they do it again? Ruffin is one of the top closers in the nation and his stat line in 2010 is proof of that. Seven saves, a league leading 0.59 ERA and opposing batters are hitting an average .115. If Texas has a lead late in the game, Ruffin's entry could spell doom for the Jayhawks. PLAYER TO WATCH BYTHE NUMBERS 34 — Home runs, tied for second in the Big 12 .279 — Team batting average, lowest in the Big 12 .883 — Strikeouts per nine innings pitched GAME STARTERS Jungmann is a potential first-round draft pick in the MLB draft next season and one of the best starting pitchers in the country. In his last start against Oklahoma, Jungmann pitched seven innings, struck out six and picked up his third victory. — Sophomore Taylor Jungmann — Junior Brandon Workman Workman's 2010 numbers are great; 5-1 with a 3.09 ERA. Workman can go deep into games as he has a team-leading two complete games this season. Against Oklahoma, Workman pitched eight innings with eight strikeouts. Junior Cole Green Robby Price s the only undefeated Longhorn starter, Green's 6-0 record includes one complete game and a nine-strikeout performance against Iowa. Out of all of the Longhorn starters, Green has the lowest opponent batting average at .213. In his last start against Oklahoma, Green picked up the victory with a six-strikeout performance in 7 2/3 innings. one low good friends great Place smart living Largest Floorplan in Town Private Shuttle to KU Campus Fully Furnished w/ Washer & Dryer Free Internet & Best Cable Package Pet Friendly International Students Welcome P Legends Place smart student living.com C 4101 W.24th Place, Lawrence,KS 66047 (785) 856-5848 2 Blocks West of HyVee on Clinton Parkway.

"This University was founded by a people who looked west, at the vast opportunities that stretched before them across this great continent," Gray-Little said. "We must maintain that same optimistic, pioneering spirit." In her address, Gray-Little also spoke of her experiences traveling in Kansas and the diverse people she met throughout the state and at the University. She also emphasized her goals for the University, including using scholarship money more strategically to attract quality high school seniors. Gray-Little also discussed her dedication to research initiatives Jerry Wang/KANSAN Jerry Wang/KNARSA chair of the Kansas Board of Regents, presents Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little with the Chancellor's ceremonial collar Sunday afternoon at the Lied Center as part of the Chancellor's inauguration. The silver collar features the university's real surrounded by rubies and sapphires and was first used in 1964. To ensure that more students graduate, Gray-Little also suggested that the University embrace some systems already in place by KU Athletics. These include a warning system that identifies students who are struggling academically and then provides intervention, enhanced financial aid, and an online tool that allows students to make sure they are on track for graduation. SEE GRAY-LITTLE ON PAGE 3A Service group seeks to create new volunteering opportunities akopf@kansan.com BY ALEESE KOPF More than a semester in the making, the newest volunteer organization, KU Advocacy Corps, finally sealed its hard work and planning during a Saturday training and address from Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. The new corps coexists beside a multitude of service-related events leading up to the chancellor's inauguration on Sunday. The group seeks to partner some 100 students, staff and faculty with 50 or more community-based organizations ranging from the American Red Cross to the Douglas County AIDS Project. The group will serve as on-campus advocates and essentially the go-to people when an organization wants to reach out to KU. Erika Dvorske, director of United Way of Douglas County, said the idea was to connect KU human resources with community-based organizations. She said they were striving to fill the gap between students and the community by creating something more sustainable than just a single day of service. "We're more interested in sustained volunteerism — someone who is committed to an organization and really able to help them grow and be stronger," she said. Erin Atwood, a sophomore from Topeka, will be serving as one of those volunteers. She also serves as co-coordinator for the Center for Community Outreach program Into the Streets Week, which provided numerous volunteer opportunities to students throughout last week. She said nearly 75 people, including 10 or 12 students, attended the Saturday morning Advocacy Corps training. Atwood said the Chancellor made it clear in her address at the training that she thought service was an important aspect of the KU community and should be encouraged. Atwood said the Chancellor light-heartedly referenced her excitement of possibly volunteering with some of the organizations to demonstrate SEE SERVICE ON PAGE 3A BANKS To see footage from the inauguration visit kansan.com.

Students across the street held a counter protest and raised funds for Planned Parenthood. The church's controversial pastor, Fred Phelos, didn't make an appearance. Collin Johnson/KANSAN Students participate in counter-protest CAMPUS BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com It was easy to think a party was going on outside the Kansas Union Friday morning. Britney Spears was being pumped into a dancing crowd where almost 300 people were blowing bubbles, tossing balls around and even doing the occasional wave. Looking closer, it was actually a counter-protest to a local religious extremist group from Topeka, which was there to protest the Brown Bag Drag, part of Queers & Allies' Pride Week. Daniel Held, a sophomore from Seattle, wanted to counter-protest the group, but also wanted to do something extra than just help discourage the protesters. Held started raising money for Planned Parenthood, an organization the religious group strongly disapproves of. "I chose Planned Parenthood because I thought it would be something a majority of people would support, and is against the things that they stand for." Held said. "It's a great charity and they do amazing work." Held said he raised about $1,161, almost double his original goal of $600. To ensure that everyone, including the extremist group, knew of his efforts, he created a sign that read, "Thanks to you we have raised XS to Planned Parenthood," and updated it with each new donation.

Farley heard about the counter-protest from Facebook, and said he knew he had to show his support. "When I found out we were doing a protest of the protest, I couldn't help myself." Farley said. "It's nice to know there is a huge crowd to support gays on campus." Spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Kansas & MidMissouri, Sarah Gillooil, said the organization was very pleased with the way the money was raised. "I think any time hate can be turned into donations to a non-profit organization, that's a victory for our community," Gillooly said. "We're just completely thrilled." Held said he expected around 10 people to show up, not the nearly 300 that hung around to join in the festivities. While the protesters for the extremist group were there to spread a message of fear and hate, the counter protesters seemed to be more about love and support, holding signs advocating gav rights.

"If we do this, and if we make the changes to our academic programs that will lead to greater student success, then KU will expand the horizons of its students, of the state, and of the world," she said. "As challenging as this economy is, the goals should never be less," said Sebelius, the former governor of Kansas. "In these tough times it couldn't be more important to refuse to settle for less, and I'm convinced that's what the new chancellor is already doing." Presidents from Kansas Board of Regents universities were in attendance, as well as delegates from 34 other academic institutions and learned societies. Members of the audience also included Sen. Sam Brownback, Rep. Lynn Jenkins, Rep. Jerry Moran, Rep. Dennis Moore, and past KU chancellors Archie Dykes, Del Shankel, and Robert Hemenway. Gov. Mark Parkinson spoke about the importance of the University to the state economy and the future of Kansas. "Although our ancestors started this University because of their commitment to education and a hope that Kansas would be a progressive state, we've also learned along the way that investment in the University of Kansas is great economic development," Parkinson said.

City's I'm with environ- The obstacles are daunting, starting with a need to register Haitt's dislocated children. If done right, this would enable authorities to distinguish between children who might be good candidates for adoption and those with surviving relatives willing to care for them. There also will be efforts to overhaul Haiti's troubled child protection system, update its adoption laws and boost support for family reunification programs in Haiti. But even before those goals are pursued, there are sharp divisions over how vigorously and quickly to seek an expansion of adoptions. A prominent leader of the campaign to bring more orphans to American homes is Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) who believes some of the major aid organizations active in Haiti — including UNICEF — are not sufficiently supportive of international adoption. "Either UNICEF is going to change or have a very difficult time getting support from the U.S. Congress," Landrieu said in a telephone interview. Landrieu and a few other members of Congress visited Haiti last week, meeting with top Haitian officials to discuss the plight of the devastated nation's orphans. Since the Jan. 12 earthquake, about 1,000 Haitian children have been brought to U.S. families who had filed adoption applications before the quake. That pool of children in Haiti is dwindling, and adoption advocates — including "It's complicated," said Susan Bissell, UNICEF's chief of child protection. "We've got to get a registration system in place. Once we have that, we want families for children — and that includes adoption. We are not against intercountry adoption, but we are against exploitation." for adoption as soon as possible," Landrieu said. "There are thousands of children who don't have parents or even extended families to be reunified with." improve conditions for them and their families in Haiti. "Either UNICEF is going to change or have a very difficult time getting support from the U.S. Congress." UNICEF says a time may come when large-scale foreign adoptions would be appropriate — notably for older children and those with disabilities. But the U.N. agency and like-minded groups are asking for patience, saying the next priorities should be to register vulnerable children and try to Bissell said she was frustrated by the hostility toward UNICEF that is commonly expressed by leading supporters of international adoption in the United States. MARY LANDRIEU U.S. Senator (D-La.) "I find myself saddened by it, but, it's not going to take the wind out of our sails," she said. were likely to revolve around timing — with some groups seeking to resume large-scale adoptions much more quickly than other groups. The chief operating officer for Save the Children, which is deeply engaged in helping Haitian orphans, said the tensions and disputes "It's hard to know how big the problem is without taking the time to go through this registration process, and I know for many it's an excruciating process," Carolyn Miles said. "There are no records," she added. "To be sure that a child is an orphan, that will be difficult — going back to their villages, trying to find people who know their families" The challenge of verifying children's statuses was illustrated in the weeks after the quake, when members of an Idaho church group were arrested for trying to take children they falsely claimed were parentless out of Haiti without government approval. The group's leader remains in custody, facing a possible trial for kidnapping. The church members have said they only wished to rescue desperate children from suffering. An estimated 40 percent of Haiti's prequake population was under 14, including about 50,000 living in orphanages and more than 200,000 others not living with their parents. It's been commonplace for poor parents to abandon their made much faster than that — but says the many groups working on the task need to coordinate better. Hundreds of thousands of Haitian children lack birth certificates or other identification, which could complicate adoption efforts. The Organization of American States is proposing a plan to provide all Haitian minors with ID cards, but estimates this wouldn't be completed until 2013. children, and some are taken in by wealthier families who use them as household labor. Looking ahead, she hopes for a sizable number of new foreign adoptions by the end of this year compared with just a handful at present now that the backlog of pre-quake applications has been largely dealt with. Landrieu hopes significant headway on registration can be In recent years, about 300 Haitiian children annually were adopted by Americans. Landrieu believes that number could rise to several thousand a year in the future. "Children belong in families. "Since the earthquake, the U.S. embassy has said if you see a kid you like, here's the paper, you can take them with you." JEANNE BERNARD PIERRE Head of Haiti's child welfare agency not in orphanages or in some amorphous kibbutz," she said. expansion of adoption as long as steps were taken to guard against trafficking and ensure that children weren't being sent away from parents who wanted them. Landrieu and other members of her delegation to Haiti came away convinced that government officials there would support The head of Haiti's child welfare agency, Jeanne Bernard Pierre, has conveyed some skepticism about efforts to speed up adoptions, saying Americans have taken advantage of the disaster to flout Haitian adoption laws.

Virginia's Republican governor, Bob McDonnell, apologized for leaving out of his proclamation any reference to slavery. He added language to the decree calling slavery "evil and inhumane" after being criticized for reviving what many Virginians believe is an insensitive commemoration of its Confederate past.

"As governor of the state with a higher percentage of African-Americans that any other, we would hope he would be more sensitive to them." Barbour said in the interview aired on CNN's "State of the Union." "I think it's unfortunate that the governor is so insensitive to the atrocities made against African-Americans McDonnell revised the proclamation after a day of scalding denunciations as the story became grist for cable news shows and caught fire on political blogs and in social media. McDonnell was the first Virginia governor to issue such a proclamation since 2001. NATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS Community mourns death of 29 miners PETTUS, W.Va. — A pair of tall black boots and a lunch patil sat near the earl Sunday at the New Life Assembly church — a memorial to the 29 men killed in the worst U.S. mining disaster since 1970 and a thank-you to those who make their living inside the mountains. This day, the first Sunday since last Monday's explosion killed 28 workers and a contractor at Massey Energy Co.'s Upper Big Branch mine in Montcalo, was for many a time to honor the profession. Tears of mourning fell, and arms swayed in worship among the 50 people gathered at the church. Pastor Gary Williams, who has worked at Massey Energy mines for 18 years, knew many of the victims. On his way to church Sunday morning, he heard Ricky Workman's name among them for the first time. "I know his child. I know his wife. He's a part of my family. Hes a part of my life," Williams said, tears falling "Over time, our hearts and the emptiness that we have inside will fade away, but I don't never want to forget what happened April 5, 2010." Some of those who died have already been laid to rest. Crews worked Sunday to remove the bodies of several others who didn't make it out, but the recovery had to be halted because of high gas readings in the mine. Crews need to drill another hole to vent the mine before they can continue. Four funerals were held Friday, with more scheduled for the weekend. Nearly two dozen will follow in the weeks ahead. Despite hope that four missing miners might survive long enough for rescuers to reach them, officials announced early Saturday morning that the four had apparently died instantly. A complete list of victims has yet to be released. Two other miners were injured in the blast, and one remains hospitalized. A team of federal investigators will arrive Monday as officials try to figure out what caused the blast. Virginia-based Massey has been under scrutiny for a string of safety violations at the mine, though CEO Don Blankenship has defended the company's record and disputed accusations that he puts profits ahead of safety. Authorities have said that high levels of volatile methane gas may have played a role in the disaster. Massey has been repeatedly cited and fined for problems with the system that vents methane and for allowing combustible dust to build up. During a homily in Wheeling on Sunday, Catholic Bishop Michael J. Bransfield said four years is too short a time between West Virginia mine disasters. The last was at the Sago Mine in 2006, where 12 men perished. WIN A $200 GIFT CARD. FIND AN APARTMENT. ON CAMPUS APT. FEST 2010 UDK + APT.

It was called "Cop Rock" Stephen Bochco's short-lived 1990 experiment _ the "Ishtar" of network TV convinced the industry that characters on dramas and sitcoms shouldn't even whistle, much less sing and dance. But 20 years later, brash newcomers have turned a deaf ear to history _ and reaped the rewards. Disney Channel and Nickelodeon have built empires on programs like "High School Musical," "Hannah Montana" and "Big Time Rush," bland sitcom fare enlivened by karaoke-quality performances.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: E equals F MOVIES 3-D films offer profit without movie stars MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Since the astounding grosses for "Avatar" started rolling in, Hollywood has been going gaga at 3-D. At a time when DVD revenues have been plummeting, who would've believed that 3-D would help save the studios' bacon? According to Warners distribution chief Dan Fellman, roughly 52 percent of the studio's box-office take for last weekend's "Clash of the Titans" was from 3-D ticket sales. According to industry marketers, the 3-D ticket price premium gave a huge boost to "Clash's" $61.4-million box-office take, which would've been closer to $41.4 million if it was only playing in 2-D. The film, which was retrofitted with 3-D at the last minute, inspired my colleague Kenny Turan to write that "Clash" could be 'the first film to actually be made worse by being in 3-D.' The tech geeks seemed to agree. But who will be the real haters of 3-D? Movie stars. If there was ever a new technology that made movie stars feel less indispensable and more outmoded than they already are, it would be 3-D. By definition, 3-D extravaganzas are genre films dominated by splashy computer-generated visual effects — exactly the kinds of movies that don't need a movie star in the first place. Put yourself in the position or a studio executive, staring at your profit-and-loss statement, as you ponder what movies to greenlight for your 2012 slate. Most of the recent mega-hits (i.e., "Hangover,") had triumphed without any true movie stars while scads of movie-star vehicles had crashed and burned. $5 all you can eat buffet ANYTIME *valid with KU ID or coupon Naismith Hall THE ONLY PRIVATELY OWNED DORM ON CAMPUS!

EDITORIAL BOARD Chancellor's progress report Sunday's inauguration of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, the University's first African-American and first female chancellor, stands as a momentous occasion. Since beginning her tenure as the 17th chancellor of the University on Aug. 15, 2009, Gray-Little has proven to be a worthy successor to Robert Hemenway. Burdened with $37.3 million in budget cuts and unfunded mandates, her first eight months as chancellor have been far from easy. Here we assess how the chancellor has dealt with some big challenges and has contributed to some positive new policies. Budget Cuts. We support Gray-Little in her continued efforts to minimize short- and long-term effects of the budget shortfalls. In working closely with Kansas lawmakers, Gray-Little has shown her commitment to preserving the University's high educational standards. Her emphasis on maximizing operating efficiency has saved the University more than $3 million through changes in purchasing rules, the consolidation of library purchases and improvements in energy efficiency. With the chancellor's support, several bills further improving budget efficiency are expected to pass The University needs Gray-Little's strong leadership and firm commitment to higher education more than ever. We agree with her belief that a strong University can ensure a prosperous Kansas and contribute to economic recovery. Charting the Future. Though managing budget cuts has dominated the chancellor's agenda since August, she has also taken important strides in three key areas outlined in her strategic initiative, "Charting the Future." These areas include research engagement, student recruitment and student retention and success. So far, only the Research Engagement Task Force has presented a formal report to the chancellor outlining specific recommendations. We hope to see the report's suggestions implemented soon. In recognizing the need for improvements in these key areas, the chancellor organized three task forces to develop strategies for each issue. Proactive steps such as this illustrate Gray-Little's dedication to improving the quality of education and research at the University. — Semester of Service. Gray-Little's inauguration provided students, faculty, staff, alumni and the Lawrence community the perfect opportunity to show their support through community service. The KU community has contributed more than 91,000 volunteer hours through the "Semester of Service" program. The program was organized in honor of Gray-Little's inauguration, with the goal of reaching 100,000 hours by the end of the semester. With five weeks left in the semester, "Semester of Service" looks on track to surpass its initial goal. Though the program has been extremely successful, the real test will be to see if the KU community can sustain its commitment to community service after this semester. Future Goals. We remain optimistic in Gray-Little's ability to lead. Though she has been chancellor for a mere eight months, we are impressed by her strong commitment to ensuring the success of students and the University. With strong leadership and proactive solutions, Gray-Little has proven herself capable of handling the difficulties at hand. Yet given the $37.3 million budget cuts, the chancellor has much left to do in order to ensure the long-term success of the University and its students.

Wm MARIAM SAIFAM MARIAM SAIFAM MEDIA ISSUES A little discomfort can be good Hours before the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics were set to begin, Georgian Nodar Kumaritashvili lost control of his luge during a practice trial and slammed into a pillar, killing him. NBC, the American network granted coverage of the Games, captured the grisly footage on video, and viewers originally watched the death of the 21-year-old on television. Later in the day, however, NBC edited the footage to just before Kumaritashvili's impact, preventing the worst of the footage from airing. Whether or not this video should have been shown is a debate that perhaps will never be resolved, but should certainly be discussed. The fact that the video was later taken down is a reflection of the media's good intentions of protecting viewers' comfort, but others argue that the video's removal was ill-advised and prevented citizens from seeing reality. It's a basic human response to distance ourselves from situations that make us uncomfortable. But how is a viewer supposed to see just how dangerous that Olympic luge track was if the video can't be shown? The cliche says that a picture is a worth a thousand words. In the case of these two examples, I believe that statement is correct. I remember that as I watched Kumarishvill's impact with a small group of people, our reaction was gasps and shock. We shared the moment of emotion, and could more closely at Guy That Guy feel the pain of the event. This is something I believe would have been hard to replicate if a Bob Costas summary took over in place of the video. BY TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE toulounghet@kansan.com For another example, could the widespread public unity in the immediate aftermath of September 11 have occurred if news outlets had elected to censor the footage of the planes striking the buildings? Most everyone can remember where they were when they first heard news of the attacks, even years after the events. This leads one to wonder how much of the emotion generated from that day was a result of the media's willingness to publish the images — albeit disturbing ones. It's pretty harmless to debate on the topic when one is devoid of a direct connection to any of images discussed. But, how would you feel if it was someone close to you whose moment of vulnerability was broadcast for millions? This is why it's difficult to know where to draw the line in the battle of the rights to see reality versus the ethics of showing violent acts. The Associated Press ran into this problem last year when it chose to publish a photo of a dying U.S. soldier who had been ambushed in Afghanistan, against his family's wishes. Although the photo wasn't nearly as bad as other images of war on the Internet, it did show the final moments of the soldier's life. Even though the Associated Press received harsh criticism for its publication of the photo, it did help remind viewers that, yes, there are still soldiers dying and that, yes, the situation on the front can be deadly. Removing publication of graphic photos allows the public to be spared from disturbing images, but such an action refuses to tell the complete story. Therefore, NBC and the Associated Press were just in their publication of the respective images — after all, isn't the complete truth what we demand in our news? It's very possible that most of the criticism directed against the Associated Press wasn't about the soldier's death. Instead, it may have been a reflection of viewer's unwillingness to place Afghanistan back in the dominant role of public discourse, much like Olympic fans who didn't want the dangers of winter sports to interfere with their eager, but safe roles as viewers. The public needs to confront reality. Boultinghouse is a sophomore from Girard in history and journalism. HUMOR 'Doubling down' may be ticket to reality TV My mother will watch any TV show involving obesity or dwarfism. If it includes a big person trying to get smaller or a small person trying to reach a light switch, she will find herself compelled by the stories of their real-life struggles. I would imagine her ideal show would be a combination of the two — something along the lines of, "The Littlest Biggest Loser." The bounty of dwarfism programs can mostly be attributed to TLC, whose lineup seems to consist exclusively of reality shows about average-sized families of little people or extremely large families of average-sized people. But shows about obesity are virtually everywhere. The national epidemic is reflected in TV Guide — Discovery Channel, NBC and even VH1 all have shows about losing weight. The latest, "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" on ABC, is about getting to the root of the obesity problem by changing America's eating habits. That will be pretty hard to do, especially since KFC has started a revolution of its own with the Double Down sandwich. The Double Down, debuting nationwide this week, is a grotesque masterpiece. If Michelangelo worked in grease, this is what he would create. The Double Down consists of bacon, melted cheese and something terrifying called "Colonel's Sauce." Where is the chicken, you ask? Well, forget everything you ever thought you knew about buns because they have been replaced by two hulking fried chunks of bird. KFC seems to have abandoned Kentucky Grilled Chicken, its weak attempt at following the healthier fast food trend led by restaurants such as McDonald's, in favor of the only sandwich on the market that could accurately be described as Kafkaesque. Indeed, they are moving in the complete opposite direction and into bizarre, nightmarish realms never before explored by the American food industry. BY ALEX NICHOLS Now, I usually have no qualms about junk food. I only go to fast food joints a few times a month, but when I do partake, I don't away from the dark depths of the menu. On more than one occasion, I have ordered six KFC Buffalo Snackers to eat in one sitting. When you eat that much crap, the meal is divided into stages. The first two snackers go down fairly easily, but you're just getting started. Halfway through the third one, you look at the remaining three and start to panic. On the fourth one, you feel your body starting to weaken and promise yourself never to do this again. By the fifth one, you're angry at yourself, at KFC and at the world. When you finally get to the sixth one, you're just depressed. You force it down and then cry yourself into a food coma. When somebody who has done that multiple times is frightened of your sandwich, you've either failed or accomplished something magnificent. Or both. If the sandwich is successful, KFC could turn the already-feared freshman 15 into the freshman 50. And that may just be the start — if other places follow suit, we could see salads where the lettuce is replaced with beef jerky or cream cheese bagels where the bagels are replaced with more cream cheese. I have seen the future, and it is fat. If you are brave enough to try the Double Down, please be careful. I don't want my mother to see your story on the next episode of "I Nearly Died of Shame."

In light of the cruelty inherent in the livestock industry, providing students with information on cruelty-free dining is more important than ever. Ammonia from trapped urine burns the animals' lungs, and they are continually given antibiotics in order to keep them alive Ever wonder why slices of meat are cheaper than fresh produce? Well, aside from the billions of dollars in annual subsidies that meat producers receive, factory farmers keep meat cheap by boxing up animals in filthy warehouses in extreme confinement for their entire lives. Chickens are kept in cages so small that they can't stretch a single wing, and pigs are confined to crates so tiny that they can't even turn around and are forced to stand on slated floors in their own excrement. in these filthy conditions. This extreme confinement frequently drives animals insane, they are mutilated (without being given any painkillers) so they don't kill each other: Chickens have their beaks cut off with hot blades and pigs are castrated and have their tails cut off. In order to produce the amount of meat that's consumed in America today, factory farmers have to keep animals in extreme confinement and disregard animal welfare. Fortunately, thanks to establishments such as Tenth St. Vegetarian Bistro (not to mention your local grocery store) that offer cruelty-free dining options, it's never been easier to avoid meat, milk and eggs. Please remember, every time you sit down to eat, you can choose not to support companies that abuse animals. - Drew Winter is a college campaigns assistant for peta2.

The $1000 award will be given annually to a junior who has demonstrated a commitment to making a difference for KU students, furthering the idea of service on campus and in the community, as well as established leadership, Barbara Ballard, associate director of Civic Programming and Outreach, said the committee was choosing a junior because that student had another year to continue his or her dedication to public service as an undergraduate. with, but a commitment to which ever community you end up living," Ballard said. Chancellor Hemenway was very instrumental in making a program existed in which students could be civically engaged, said Ballard. She said Hemenway was dedicated to students, student involvement, study abroad and encouraging students to get more involved not only as an undergraduate, but also after graduation. "It should be something special about every KU student, not just about the degree you leave here Applications for the award are due by 5 p.m. today and require a list of organizations the student is involved in, leadership positions and homos/scholarship received, as well as a 250-word essay on why the student believes public service is important. As of the end of the day Friday, Ballard said they had received five applications. Manutell Ford, a junior from Wilson, said she decided to apply because she has been involved in public service throughout her life and thinks it is nice to be recognized for service. "I believe recognition, especially with a scholarship is important," Ford said. "Although volunteering is a selfless activity, it is more satisfying to know your time and effort is appreciated." Ford currently volunteers as a coordinator for the Center for Community Outreach program, Lifeline, and participates in several other CCO programs and Alternative Breaks. She said public service was important to her because it could open your eyes to groups of people you would not have exposure to on a daily basis. "Public service can change your viewpoint on a certain topic or group of people and the experience does not have to be extreme," Ford said. "Giving back to the community is rewarding for both you and the recipients of your service." DEADLINE INFORMATION: WHEN: Today by 5:00 p.m. WHERE: The Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive, West Campus APPLICATION LINK: http://doleinstitute.org/students-hemenway-award.shtml Once applications are reviewed, finalists will be contacted on Wednesday, April 14 and interviews will be held on that Thursday and Friday. Responsibilities of the recipient include attending the 2010 Dole Lecture, participating in the planning committee for the 2010 Civic Engagement Week and serving as a member on the Dole Institute Student Advisory Board. Ford said she thought the Dole Institute did an excellent job of encouraging public service through its civic engagement week and ability to bring in influential speakers who have dedicated a large portion of their lives to service. She said she appreciated the opportunity to apply for the Hemenway Public Service Award and looked forward to the current chancellor's same dedication to service as the previous.

Kansas' pitchers kept up with the Texas pace Friday and Saturday, but lost momentum, falling 10-4. Jayhawks lose three in Austin TEXAS TEXAS 7 PAGE 1B Scott Squires/THE DAILY TEXAN Kansas' bats silenced during 3-game series After nearly matching the Longhorns' talented starters pitch-for-pitch in slim defeats on Friday (3-2) and Saturday (3-1), Kansas' staff couldn't keep pace on Sunday, falling 10-4. As the old adage goes, good pitching almost certainly will top good hitting. "The first thing I told our guys right after the game was, 'Right now, Texas is playing better than anyone in the country,' coach Ritch Price said. "Their pitchers are as good as advertised." Walz easily handled the Long-horns through the first eight innings, striking out seven along the way. He threw first pitch strikes to 18 batters and retired the leadoff hitter in every inning he pitched. to 2-1. BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter.com/bm dub Junior T.J. Walz was masterful on Friday night, overshadowing a strong effort from Texas' ace Taylor Jungmann with his best outing of the season. A sacrifice fly by junior Tony Thompson and a solo home run by senior Brett Lisher gave Walz an early 2-0 cushion. But a throwing error with two outs in the seventh by junior shortstop Brandon Macias allowed Texas to score an unearned run, which narrowed Kansas' lead Walz rebounded from the error and settled down to take the Jayhawks into the nirth with the lead intact, where he attempted to finish his complete game. But the Longhorns finally got to him as he went well over 100 pitches, plating the tying run on an RBI double with one out in the ninth. Walz' effort went for naught, as he was sent to the showers shy of earning his sixth victory. A sacrifice fly in the 11th inning delivered a crushing 3-2 loss to the lavhawks. "It was a little disappointing but I thought we put it behind us pretty quickly," senior second baseman Robby Price said. Like Walz, senior Carteren Selik was equally sharp on Saturday, tossing an eight inring complete game and holding the Longhorns only four hits while striking out SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 8B seven. "I could not have been more pleased with the performances that we got from Walz and Selik," coach Price said. Despite Selik's strong outing, Cole Green was just a bit better for Texas. Green held the jay-hawks to four hits, with their only run coming on an RBI single by Robby Price in the third inning.

Freshman Alex Jones took the opportunity to pick up an extra base and score a run. The team didn't know it at the time, but that would be the difference in the game to give Kansas its first Big 12 Conference victory of the season. On Sunday, Kansas ended up splitting the two games with Baylor and moved to 17-22 (1-7) while Baylor went to 22-14 (3-4). It was also Kansas' first series against a Big 12 unranked opponent, although Baylor received votes in the USA Today poll, while also being ranked No. 23 in the ESPN.com poll. Peggy Standing in the outfield before, freshman Jones said it felt great to run off the field after the last out. Kansas has had a tendency to allow big innings, letting the opposing team put the game out of reach for Kansas. Coach Megan Smith said focus might Jones ing was absolutely amazing," Jones said. "We needed that really badly." "That feel- be a reason Kansas has allowed some of these innings. "We are encouraging them to go out every day, work hard and focus on each individual pitch and not to get too overwhelmed," Smith said. "I think sometimes in those big innings they're not quite focusing on all the little things." Junior Allie Clark's pitching performance was night and day in the two games. In the first game Clark allowed four hits and five earned runs in two innings. Yvonne B. "I knew I needed a good outing and I was working hard," Clark said. "The girls behind me were working harder, and I appreciate them a lot." the second game Clark pitched seven i n n i n g s, allowing three hits and no earned runs.

Quigley started out his career as a running back before moving to linebacker last season. Quigley will play running back again this season under first-year coach Tuner Gill. 22 Quigley rejuvenated under Gill BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com When Angus Quigley talks, there's a sense that he's not hiding anything behind the curtain, that everything he thinks, he says. Yetlast season Quigley slipped a slight of hand when, before Kansas' Senior Night against Nebraska, he told members of the media that he wasn't sure if hed pursue a sixth year of eligibility. He's transparent, well-spoken and willing to publically share his thoughts. Turns out, Quigley knew all alone. "I really wasn't coming back," Quigley said. "I knew when I sat in that room, my mind was made up. I wasn't coming back. But things changed." Shortly after last season, coach Mark Mangi n o reached a mutuality. ALEXANDER DUBOIS Quigley isfactory agreement to resign, triggering a series of events that ended when Lew Perkins announced Turner Gill as the new head coach on Dec 13. Then he decided to return for a sixth season — this time as a running back once more. More than anything, the chance at a fresh start intrigued Quigley. So he listened to what Gill had to say, and he thought about the opportunity to play under new leadership. "He just talked to me about how I am as a person," Gill said.

Tony was a big factor in Deshaun deciding to leave Florida — his home state, which he deemed "way more fun than Kansas" — and the weather he still loves, but he's looking to make his own legacy. "He was a legend here, so I figured I could come here and outshine him, break his records." Sands said. "Father-son stuff." Sands, just 5-foot-7 with short dreadlocks, said his father got the "blazing" speed, but he got the vision. "Every time I get in open space, I see everything." Sands said. Junior Angus Quigley, 6-foot-11, runs tall like Adrian Peterson, a trait that he thinks led to his position switch to backlater last season. Freshman Toben Opurum is a between-the-tackles runner who delivers the pain instead of taking it. Sands' style — he says its about quickness and vision — is one of many different styles of running backs vying for playing time next fall "He's a tough little dude," Quigley said. "He's shitty." Sophomore Bell Lewis showed his quickness on a 42-yard reception in last year's Border Showdown. But Sands might have the most potential of the group. As it stands, an Opurum-Sands combination sounds pretty lethal. Opurum will bowl over defenders; Sands will juke around them. Sands is also working with the return teams in spring ball. "That's my thing," Sands said. "Something like Devin Hester, you know?" Sands needs a lot more time to grow out his dreadlocks — he started them at the beginning of last season — to match Hester's. He isn't worried about the ramifications of having his hair flare out past his helmet. "If they pull them, oh well," Sands said. Webb and Sands redshirted and worked with the scout team's offense last year, mimicking opponents' offenses in the week prior to the game. They would watch film on the weeks to prepare. Sands said having to learn lots of different offenses is helping him a lot this year under new coach Turner Gill. It won't be hard for Sands to stay motivated: his roommate, freshman quarterback Jordan Webb, is also looking for playing time. Sands said they study the playbook whenever they have free time. Sands filled the role well too he was named the scout team's offensive player of the year at the end of last season. He wanted to help the team on game days, but he embraced his role as a scout team player. Sands said he learned one big thing from his redshirt exp. "Stay humble," Sands said. "You have to be patient and your time will come." Don't be surprised if Sands and Webb end up manning the Jayhawk backfield for extended periods next year. "We want it bad." Sands said.

PETER RUSSELL Now watch that same video on mute. It doesn't have quite the same effect, does it? BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c/ thibodeaux That song used in the pregame video — a variation of the song "Lux Aeterna" by Clint Mansell— brings it to life. Music as a whole, for that matter, makes almost anything come to life. We can attest to the same phenomenon. When accompanied by song, we are capable of many feats otherwise unattainable. Case in point: physical fitness. Music has the power to move us, inspire us and ignite us. The collection of instruments and vocals can somehow trigger a desired emotion, whether we are aware of it or not. That's why they play songs like that at sporting events. That's why we have workout pilots. If it's got a good beat, it'll juice up the heart beat. That is the desired outcome of doing or watching physical activity, after all. Generally, people have different tastes in music, but choosing workout pump-up songs are a case where everyone should be in accordance. Those adrenaline-building playlists should have the same outline for everyone. Bon Jovi here, maybe some Kanye there. Even boy bands from the late 90s have something worthy for the workout. Remember: no ballads such as "As Long as You Love Me" by the Backstreet Boys allowed and keep the "Jock Jams" usage to a minimum. That's why it's saddening when people hold themselves back. It's understandable that people prefer certain artists, but there is a line. Example: Jack Johnson has nothing in his body of work that falls under the category of a "pump-up" song. It's not a knock, but there is a certain time and place for that kind of tune, maybe while chilling on the beach after a workout. And let's be honest, pop, rock and rap can summon one 'unattended ability better than any style. Country has a few exceptions, but overall it just makes you want to socialize instead of pulverize. I've been around the musical block a few times. I usually exercise only with the music I have in my head, but I prepare for the experience with my own pump-up playlist. It makes a difference. Music is a tool we should learn to use. Everybody pretty much knows where to go for the classics — Journey, ABBA, Metallica. But if you are lost on how to properly harness today's melodies outside the Top-40, there is help. THE MORNING BREW For those who like a harmless approach while still getting their adrenaline fix: Jason Mraz, The Cab and anything from "A Goofy Movie." Even American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert has some gems. If you are a more aggressive rocker type: Dead by Sunrise, Skillet, Rise Against and Deepfield can blow some amplifiers. And in the rap game: Basically anything featuring Drake or Akon, DJ Khaled and The new Cypress Hill album coming out later this year looks promising. Nothing too surprising in this department. Saying I left something out is an understatement, but it's up to you to find out what works for you. We are just like that pregame video better with music.

When it was over Muse's teammates tossed their sticks and helmets into the air then swarmed the junior goaltender. ASSOCIATED PRESS "Johnny Muse was clearly on the top of his game." BC coach Jerry York said. BC won its fourth title and third since 2001, best in the nation over the last decade. The Eagles' top rival, Boston University, took home the championship last year. In college hockey's version of the Duke-North Carolina basketball rivalry, BU and BC are located just a few miles away from each other on the Green Line trolley that runs along Commonwealth Avenue.

Realistic goals for a program that hasn't been to the NCAA "It was wins and losses more than anything else," retired UCLA associate athletic director Rick Purdy of Lavin's undoing. since 2002. Get into the NCAA Tournament, be competitive and eventually win some games, Lavin said. If the program's progress continues, maybe even claim a Big East Lavin, who compiled a 145-78 "He didn't have the stature that coach Harrick had." title. "Incremental" steps is what Lavin talked about. That's definitely a stark contrast with the expectations for Lavin at UCLA. KRIS JOHNSON former UCLA player In his seven seasons in Los Angeles, getting to the Sweet 16, which Lavin did four times, and the Elite Eight, which he did in his first season, just wasn't good record at UCLA,has coached since he was fired after the 2003 season, the schools first losing season in 55 years. Purdy said Lavin, just 32 at the time, may have been given control of the storied program too soon. "I think maybe it was a little too early for him, age-wise and experience-wise," Purdy said. "Getting into a pressure-cooker like the UCLA basketball program was ... you have to understand how it was there and the expectations." Lavin often was under fire from his own players and school admin istrators "If Lavin gets St. John's to be a 20-game winner and they are in the NCAA Tournament, he's going to be the savior of New York," said Jon Crispin, who played for UCLA in Lavin's final season. "Winning 20 games (six times) was absolutely not enough at UCLA. He could never do anything right. Even though we went to five Sweet 16, it was still like, 'What is he doing?' Things were happening behind his back, rumors that they were going after (Rick) Pitino." Kris Johnson, son of former UCLA star Marques Johnson, played for both Lavin and Jim Harrick, whom Lavin replaced. In Lavin's first two years, Johnson saw the discontent in the locker room. "There were probably six, seven, eight disgruntled players over playing time," he said. "He didn't have the stature that coach Harrick had. He was looked upon as the third assistant. He described himself as the cream-and-sugar guy _ the guy who got the cream and sugar for everyone's coffee." Johnson thinks the administration never fully backed Lavin. "There's a lot of things going on behind the scenes and different regimes of athletic directors, and he kind of ran into some issues recruiting there," he said. Lavin recruited very well at UCLA, routinely bringing in top classes. Future NBA players such as Baron Davis, Trevor Ariza, Jason Kapono and Earl Watson played for Lavin. But some of Lavin's recruits got into trouble, according to numerous published reports. Ielani McCoy was suspended in 1997 for violating team rules. He was reinstated for 15 games before leaving the team in 1998. Kris Johnson was simultaneously suspended. Rico Hines was suspended for striking Matt Barnes, now with the Orlando Magic, with a metal chair in 2000. Andre Patterson was dismissed from school for academic reasons in 2003. NBA Chicago seeks final spot in playoffs TORONTO — Derrick Rose scored 26 points, Joakim Noah had 18 points, 19 rebounds and seven assists and the Chicago Bulls beat Toronto 104-88 on Sunday night to take a one-game lead over the Raptors for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Luol Deng scored 14 points, Taj Gibson had 11 and Ronald Murray and Hakim Warrick each scored 10 points for the Bulls, who led by 25 points. Sonny Weems and Andrea Bargnani each scored 18 points for the injury-riddled Raptors, who lost their fifth straight. Chicago has won eight of 12 since Noah returned from a foot injury that forced him to miss 10 games. The Bulls went 0-10 without him. Hedo Turkoglu had a career-high 19 rebounds and nine assists but shot 2 for 12 and scored just six points. The Bulls can clinch the eighth and final playoff spot in the East with a win and a Toronto loss, or by winning their two remaining games. The Raptors hold the tiebreaker over the Bulls after winning the first two matchups this season. Jarrett Jack had 14 points but was the only Raptors reserve to score until Marcus Banks converted a layup with 5:20 left in the fourth.

Turkoglu also injured his nose when he was headbutted by Boston's Tony Allen last Wednesday. Turkoglu wore a protective face mask on Friday but did not wear one Sunday. KICKER Angels narrowly beat Athletics, 4-3 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Hideki Matsui singled home the winning run with one out in the ninth inning, giving the Los Angeles Angels a 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday night. The three-time defending AL West champs avoided what would have been their first 1-5 start since their inaugural 1961 season. They had given up 10 runs in each of their previous two games — the first time that happened to them since July 2005. Bobby Abreu started the winning rally with the Angels'sixth double of the game — one more than their combined total in the previous five. Craig Breslow (0-1) intentionally walked Torii Hunter, then fell behind Matsui 2-0 before last year's World Series MVP lined the next pitch just inside the rightfield line for his first game-ending hit with the Angels. Fernando Rodney (1-0) got the win with an inning of perfect relief. Angels starter Jered Weaver allowed a run and four hits in six innings, struck out seven and left with a 3-1 lead. The right-hander has yielded just three earned runs over 23 innings in his last four starts against Oakland.

He said there's more encouragement floating around these days, and he describes practices as fun. Throughout spring drills, when the topic of Mangino and his staff arises, Gill deflects the questions simply: Kansas football is moving forward. Quigley shared a similar sentiment Friday — "We took off the rearview mirror" — but he couldn't let the topic float away. Not after everything he has experienced. "It's just different." Quigley said. "You always want to play out of respect for a man, not fear." From the start, Quigley's career has been unconventional. He missed his first two seasons with season-ending injuries. In 2007, he carried the ball just 17 times as a reserve. Then, in 2008, Quigley led the Jayhawks with 5.2 yards per carry. During the first four games, he was arguably Kansas' most consistent running back on a team that struggled to run the ball. But Quigley never cracked the rotation that year and, before last season, former coach Mark Mangino moved him to linebacker. Mangino said he didn't see a spot for Quigley at running back. "If there was a doghouse, I was most definitely in it," Quigley said. "I asked about a doghouse one time, and he said there was no doghouse. We won't even talk about that. There had to be a doghouse." rusher last season was 6-foot 1 freshman Obopurum. Quigley said that Mangino told him "there was really no place for a big running back" in Kansas' offense. The Jayhawks' leading "As we all know," Quigley said, "that's not true because Toben is bigger than I am." In turn, Quigley moved to linebacker but never settled in. He played sparingly and recorded just three tackles. Yet now he's returned to running back, competing for carries against Opurum and a handful of less-experienced players in Gill's more run-oriented offense. Quigley said Kansas has been working heavily this spring on the I-formation — two running backs with the quarterback under center, not in shotgun. Kansas rarely used this formation in the "You always want to play out of respect for a man, not fear" recent past. ANGUS QUIGLEY Junior running back "Downhill running," Quigley said. "That's what I like to do. In high school, I never really ran shotgun. We're back to under center. I'm loving it." Quigley, who is tall for a running back at 6-foot-1, still has aspects he needs to improve upon. Under Mangino, Quigley repeatedly heard the words "pad level," a reference to his upright running style instead of keeping his shoulder pads low to the ground. Under Gill, the phrase hasn't gone away. "Initially, when the spring started, his pad level was a little high," running back coach Reggie Mitchell said. "Now he's starting to get that down and get a feel for being a running back." At the end of practice Friday, Quigley stood outside Memorial Stadium and interacted with members of the media. He answered each question thoughtfully and once again held little back. Last season, this scene appeared highly unlikely. But GILL: SECONDARY POSSESSES DEPTH At times, Kansas' secondary seemed to be playing a game of musical chairs last season. The Jayhawks struggled and, because of that, cornerbacks and safeties rotated in and out of the lineup. But so far this spring, coach Turner Gill views Kansas' secondary as one of the strong points of the defense. "If I had to say today, I'd say the secondary," Gill said. "I think that group there, there's quite a few guys we think have some skill, have some talent with both corners and safeties." Kansas returns junior cornerback Chris Harris, a veteran player who started opposite Aqib Talib in the 2008 Orange Bowl. Freshman Lubbock Smith and junior Phillip Strozier also received playing time last season Last week, Gill singled out the performance and physical play of junior safety Olaitan Oguntodu this spring. Gill said he hadn't established a set depth chart within the secondary yet. "As a group." Gill said, "I think there are a lot of quality players there." SPRINGER DEVELOPS INTO LEADER According to Gill, Junior linebacker Justin Springer has developed into one of the defense's biggest leaders so far this spring. Springer recorded 25 tackles and played in all 12 games last season. "Springer has been a guy that has jumped out," Gill said. "Not from a verbal standpoint, but a little bit of his body language and his productivity in practice." ETC. For the second time this spring, Gill praised the play of sophomore linebacker Steven Johnson. Johnson recorded nine tackles as a backup linebacker and special teams player last season. On Friday, Gill was asked if his team had Big 12-caliber athletes. "I think that we have potential to have a competitive team throughout the Big 12," Gill said. "But again, it'd be great to play a whole football season and then see it." Quigley, comfortable at running back again, is noticing recently that times do change. - Jayson Jenks "Things are looking up around here," Quigley said. Edited by Drev Anderson SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) the first four innings Baylor only managed one run on six hits and stranded nine base runners. In the bottom of the sixth Baylor finally broke the game wide open scoring seven runs on nine hits to run-rule Kansas 8-0. Baylor also outfitted Kansas 15 to two in the game. The second game was a completely different story. Kansas took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second, but Baylor quickly tied it up in the bottom of the second. A throwing error by Baylor in the bottom of the fifth allowed for Jones to score a run, putting Kansas up 2-1. Kansas wouldn't need to score again as it squeaked by in its first conference victory of the season. Jones said the team didn't want to dwell on the first loss in the series and wanted to make a statement to Baylor in the second game. "I feel like Baylor wasn't expecting to bounce back like that," Jones said. "We came out and wanted to win more than them."

Adrian Beltre had three hits and three RBIs for Boston, but was part of a ninth-inning collision that resulted in Red Sox left fielder Jacoby Ellsbury being helped off the field. Jose Guillen homered twice and drove in four runs for the Ravals. Pedroia connected in the fourth against right hander Gil Meche, who came off the disabled list after being hampered by a stiff shoulder at the end of spring training. It was the second baseman's 13th career game with at least four hits. Guillen led off the second with a drive to center and hit a three-run shot off Ramon Ramirez in the eighth to get Kansas City within two. Ramirez failed to retire any of the three hitters he faced. Jonathan Papelbon worked a perfect ninth for his second save in two opportunities. Boston sent eight men to the plate during its four-run first. Victor Martinez singled in Ellsbury and scored on Beltré's base hit. Clay Buchholz (1-0) worked five innings for the Red Sox, yielding three runs, and seven hits. 785-841-5000 1445 W 23rd St Monday-Wednesday 2 PM-3AM Thursday 2 PM-3:30 AM Fri/Sat, 11 AM - 4 AM; Sunday 11 AM - 3 AM GUMBYS Pizza Gumby Dammit 14" Large Cheese Pizza OR $4.99 *Valid delivery of carnival food and non-carnival dining 16" XL Cheese Pizza $6.49 12" Mix'N Match • 10 Wings • 5 Pepperoni Rolls (Choose any 2 for • 12" 1-Item Pizza $15.00 • 12" Pokey Stix 16" Mix'N Match • 20 Wings • 9 Pepperoni Rolls (Choose any 2 for • 10" 1-Item Pizza $20.00 • 16" Pokey Stix Campus Special • 1-Item Pizza or Pokey Stix Small: $6.99 Medium: $7.99 Large: $8.99 Ex-Large: $9.99 Massive 20"+ $13.99 (Dorms and Greek Houses Only) Spend $20 or more G receive a FREE Sml. order of Pokev Stix Don's Auto proud to be a part of the tradition for of the 2000 wins Don's Auto Center 11th & Haskell · 841-4833 Since 1972 of the 2000 wins Don's Auto Center 11th & Haskell • 841-4833 Since 1972 SLICE OF HISTORY $3 EVERYDAY PIZZA AND SALAD BUFFET with your KU ID FROM 11:30AM TO 1:30PM AND 5:30 TO 8PM DAILY Full Menu Listed at www.theoread.com Enter through hotel on Oread Ave or from Indiana St. 1200 Oread Avenue 785 830 3910 LAAL THE OREAD TREK free bicycle test rides Test ride some of the best bikes on the planet...for free!

Despite the tough competition, the Jayhawks still managed to come out on top in four of the 12 races. "There is a lot of high school rowing out (east)," coach Rob Catloth said. "They have more kids who gained experience rowing in high school. Here we take kits from other sports and turn them into rowers" The first varsity four-person boat built on earlier victories against Texas and Kansas State by winning head-to-head races against Rhode Island and Bucknell. The Jayhawks raced down to the wire, defeating Rhode Island by less than three seconds and Bucknell by less than five. The second varsity eight-person boat defeated Old Dominion in the morning and then the Jayhawks novice eight boat finished ahead of Rhode Island for Kansas' fourth victory of the day. The layhawks raced a grueling 12 races in slightly more than 24 hours. "Having all the races in the short period of time was very beneficial," senior Stacy Rachow said. "It gave us a better feel on how the Penny Loving Rachow boats compete when together." The lahawks have a two-week break before returning to the water competitively against Minnesota in St. Paul, Minn., on April 24. "Now we have two weeks to fix the mistakes we made." Rachow said. Minnesota will be the final tune up for Kansas before the Big 12 championships rolls around May 1. Edited by Kelly Gibson NBA Miami grabs win over Milwaukee NEW YORK — Dwyane Wade scored 32 points and the Miami Heat pulled into a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a 111-98 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday night Michael Beasley added 16 points, and Udonis Haslem and former Knicks forward Quentin Richardson had 14 apiece for the Heat, who won for the 10th time in 11 games and joined the Milwaukee Bucks at 45-35. They hit 26 of 42 shots (62 percent) across the middle two quarters to build a comfortable lead after a slow start. David Lee scored 26 points and Danilo Gallinari had 19 for the Knicks, who lost their third straight and dropped all three meetings to the Heat this season. The Heat's push for fifth stalled Friday with a home loss to Detroit that snapped their nine-game winning streak, but they bounced back with their seventh straight road victory, fourth-best in franchise history. Associated Press NBA New Orleans snaps 5-game losing streak with victory against Minn. ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — Emeka Okafor scored 23 points and the New Orleans Hornets snapped a five-game skid with a 114-86 victory over the woeful Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night. Darren Collison had 17 points and 11 assists, and fellow rookie Marcus Thornton scored 22 points to help the Hornets win for only the fifth time in 22 games. Julian Wright added a seasonhigh 16 points, and David West had 10 points and 12 rebounds in the Hornets' final home game of the season. Ryan Gomes scored 18 points for the Timberwolves, who played without coach Kurt Rambis after he was ejected for arguing a call early in the second quarter. The Wolves have lost five straight and 21 of their last 22 games. The Hornets' dominating performance allowed George Shinn to enjoy a victory in what was likely his last home game as majority owner of the club he founded in 1988. Shinn sat in his courtside seats next to wife Denise and with his daughter and two sons sitting nearby. Shinn, who recently underwent treatment for prostate cancer, is negotiating to sell his shares of the club to minority owner Gary Chouest, a Louisiana native and owner of a company that supports the offshore oil and gas industry. New Orleans led by as much as much as 28 in the third quarter when Okafor's 6-foot hook made it 74-46, capping a 14-4 run that began with Okafor's 14-foot jumper and included a 3-pointer by Morris Peterson. The game was never in doubt after that as Minnesota got no close than 18 points. New Orleans outshot Minnesota 52 percent to 39 percent and out-rebounded the Timberwolves 49-30. The Hornets also outscored the Wolves 70-32 in the paint, 18-8 on second-chance points and 23-6 on fast break points. Al Jefferson returned to the lineup after missing two games while attending to a hospitalized family member, but had only five points and three rebounds in 30 minutes. Ramon Sessions scored 17 points for Minnesota and Jonny Flynn had 11. Okafor, who came in averaging 10.2 points, scored nine points in the first quarter to help New Orleans to a 25-21 lead. New Orleans led 31-25 when the Wolves started to implode. Jefferson was called for traveling while attempting a reverse layup. Rambis didn't agree and drew two quick technical fouls, the first from official Eli Roe and the other from Ron Garretson, the second triggering the coach's ejection. New Orleans then scored the next six points to take a 37-25 lead. Minnesota shot only 33 percent in the quarter (4 of 12), while the Hornets shot 63 percent (12 of 19). Flynn, who had nine points in the first half, cut the Wolves' deficit to eight with two free throws with 3:28 to go in the second period. James Posey then hit a 3, igniting an 11-0 run to close the quarter and widen the Hornets' lead to 19 at 58-39 at halftime. NBA Cavs can't close; Magic overcome ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Mickaen Pietrus scored all 12 of his points in the fourth quarter and lameer Nelson hit a big 3-pointer in the closing minutes, leading the Orlando Magic to a 98-92 win Sunday over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who rested LeBron James for the playoffs. Dwight Howard scored 22 points with 13 rebounds and six blocks for Orlando. Pietrus was a matchup nightmare in the playoffs last season for Cleveland, averaging 13.9 points in the Eastern Conference finals when the Magic beat the Cavs in six games. He made a pair of 3s to open the fourth and Nelson hit his with 2:53 left to put Orlando ahead 96-88. Delonte West had 21 points Williams had 19 with nine assists for the Cavaliers, who finished the regular season 35-6 at home. Cleveland coach Mike Brown sat james for a third straight game, giving the reigning MVP — and almost certainly the next one, too — additional rest for the playoffs, which begin next weekend. Dressed in a beige sports coat and matching slacks, James sat at the end of Cleveland's bench and even took a turn behind the TV microphone during the first quarter of ABC's national broadcast. During his interview, James discussed the Cavs' roster upgrades and said the team's biggest acquisition, O'Neal, has lost 20 pounds since getting hurt. The Caws have been hoping to get O'Neal back before the postseason to shake off some expected rust, but Brown said team doctors have not yet cleared the James watched the game from the bench along with Shaquille O'Neal, who has been out "We're not in the same situation Cleveland is in, that's the bottom line." STAN VAN GUNDY Orlando Magic coach since tearing a thumb ligament Feb. 25 and hasn't been cleared by doctors to play. Cleveland anticipates having him in the postseason and will need the 7-foot-1 center to get past Howard and the Magic. The Cavs had no answer inside during last year's playoffs against Orlando's big man, who musceld his way to the rim against Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Ben Wallace and Anderson Varejao. O'Neal, if he's healthy, believes he can neutralize the Magic's Superman. 17-year veteran to play Wh i l e Cleveland used the home finale to get rest and address a recent loss of defensive intensity, the defending Eastern Conference champion Magic played all their starters at least 24 minutes and worked out a few late-season kinks. Orlando, which has wrapped up the No. 2 seed in the East, can still beat out the Los Angeles Lakers for the second-best overall record, which would give the Magic home-court advantage if the two teams meet in the finals for the second straight year. "We're not in the same situation Cleveland is in, that's the bottom line," coach Stan Van Gundy said. Start here Live off campus? The Census needs you to return your form.

Hardy was nailed at the plate for the final out when he tried to score on pinch-hitter Jim Thome's long drive, and the Chicago White Sox held off the Minnesota Twins 5-4 Sunday. Hardy singled with two outs against Bobby Jenks and took off when Thome hit a shot into the left-center field gap. Left fielder Juan Pierre retrieved the ball on the warning track and threw to third baseman Mark Teahen. Teahen's relay to catcher A.J. Pierzynski arrived in plenty of time, and Hardy was beaten by so much that he didn't slide or go barreling home. Pinch-hitter Andruw Jones singled home the go-ahead run in the eighth. Mark Buehrle (2-0) pitched eight innings and Jenks held on for his first save. Paul Konerko hit a two-run home run, and Mark Kotsay and Gordon Beckham had solo shots for the White Sox, who snapped a four-game losing steak. Joe Mauer was 2 for 4 with two doubles for the Twins, who finished a season-opening road trip 5-2 and are set to open Target Field against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. Buehrle settled down after the third inning for another strong start, allowing four runs and eight hits. He walked two and struck out one Twins starter Nick Blackburn pitched 7-2 3 innings, allowing five runs, eight hits and one walk With two outs in the eighth inning. Blackburn gave up back-to-back singles to Konerko and Carlos Quentin. After left-hander Jose Mijares replaced Blackburn, White Sox manager Ozzie Gullen sent Jones to bat for Kotsay. Jones singled to left and Quentin scored, just beating Delmon Young's throw. Associated Press Yankees complete road trip with win MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS ST.

"We feel good. We feel we have a great team. We're getting great pitching." CC Sabathia took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning of Saturday's 10-0 rout.

NICK SWISHER Yankees outfielder "This is a tough trip to start out," manager Joe Girardi said. NBA "Two teams in your division that are very good and you're able to win both series.

Rodriguez doubled off the wall in left field to drive in two to make it 6-2 in seventh, and Nick Swisher added a solo homer in the eighth off Andy Sonnastine. Burnett, who walked three and struck out one, worked out of a jam in the sixth after the Rays loaded the bases, helped by Evan Longoria's infield pop single that struck a speaker attached to one of the catwalks in the domed stadium before falling to the field. Tampa Bay went 3-3 on its season-opening homestand, with its starting pitchers compiling a 3.41 ERA. In contrast, the bullpen posted a 7.78 ERA during the homestand.

What's ope What's hawkchalk.com 8B / SPORTS / MONDAY, APRIL 12, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM GO KANSAS VS. TEXAS BASEBALL REWIND BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Green, like the other Longhorns pitchers, didn't allow the layhawks to string together at-bats - which has been a trademark of their offense this season. "Their ability to mix pitches and throw the first pitch for a strike every time made it pretty difficult," Robby Price said. With Green dealing, the Longhorns blasted a solo home run in the sixth to break the 1-1 tie, and added another run in the eighth to extend the cushion to 3-1 - which proved to be enough for the victory. Kansas fought back with its best offensive showing of the weekend, chipping away for four runs on eight hits, including a solo home run by Tony Thompson. Texas wasted little time on Sunday, taking pressure off its starter, Brandon Workman, with a six run inning in the third off senior Brett Bollman, which was capped off by a grand slam by Kevin Lusson. The Longhorns tacked on two more runs to extend their lead, but with the way its pitchers were throwing, they didn't need the additional runs. The deficit proved too much to overcome for Kansas, who fell to a 10-4 defeat. Robby Price said the Jayhawks were dissatisfied to leave Austin without a victory to show for their efforts, but that the setback won't derail the club. "We're fine, no one's hanging their heads here," he said. "There's a lot of season left." Injury ends season for reliever BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com Junior Brett Bochy will miss the rest of the season as he recovers from reconstructive surgery on his elbow. Bochy experienced some soreness in his pitching arm after picking up a save in last Friday's 9-5 victory against Texas A&M. The team physician gave Bochy the remainder of the weekend off to recover. But after an MRI revealed a torn ligament in his elbow, it was clear that Bochy needed surgery. Dr. James Andrews, the leading orthopedic specialist in sports-related arm and shoulder injuries, performed the surgery dur ing the weekend in Florida. The typical recovery period for the surgery is 10-12 months. The Jayhawks will definitely miss Bochy's presence at the end of games, but coach Ritch Price said the injury was crushing because Bochy is a beloved teammate. "Obviously it's devastating for our team, but I feel even worse for Brett," he said. "Obviously, it's devastating for our team, but I feel even worse for Brett." RITCH PRICE Coach — Edited by Ashley Montgomery As the team's closer, Bochy had been on an All-American pace. The pitcher was 2-0 with five saves and a 0.78 ERA in 12 appearances. He allowed only two earned runs in 23 innings pitched while striking out 34. In perspective Edited by Kristen Liszewski The sweep is a big setback for the Jayhawks in terms of the Big 12 standings, but the efforts turned out by Walz and Selik were definite bright spots. Each hurler threw one of his best outings of the season, and against a top-10 opponent no less. Though Walz and Selik finished with a no decision and a loss, respectively - those are the kinds of performances Kansas needs out of them to be successful as conference play wears on. Series notes Junior T.J. Walz and senior Cameron Selik C Series to remember Price PARKS CITY Despite the success of Texas' pitching staff, Kansas did have a number of opportunities to put up additional runs — none more glaring than on Friday. The Jayhawks left 13 men on base in the series opener, including four in extra innings as they were attempting to retake the lead. Price check Kansas' top two starters were brilliant on Friday and Saturday, though the end results didn't reflect how well they pitched. After Walz outdueed Texas' Taylor Jungmann to begin the series, Selik had his best outing With a hit in each game of the series, Robby Price's hitting streak is now at 17 games — a new career high. Price went 4-for-13 during the weekend with two walks and one RBI. Selik BARNES Walz in nearly a month on Saturday, but suffered the tough-luck loss. Both needed to have great showings for Kansas to have a chance, and they rose to the occasion. Series to forget Junior outfielder Jimmy Waters Left stranded JAYDEN BROWN Waters had been one of the team's best hitters of late, but went 0-for-12 over the weekend and struck out five times. As Kansas' top RBI man, Waters has excelled all season at hitting with runners on base, but was 0-for-6 in those situations in Austin. Waters From the stat book 10-3 Entering the series, Kansas had been 10-3 when holding an opponent to four or fewer runs. So the two losses after the outstanding starts from Walz and Selik were rarities for a Jayhawk team that excels when it receives great pitching.

But in the end, Phil Mickelson stole the show from his rival with back-to-back rounds of 5-under-par 67 and a three-shot win over Lee Westwood on Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club to earn his third Masters championship in seven years. Mickelson trailed Westwood by a shot heading into the final round. Heher Mickelson becomes the eighth man to win three or more Masters tournaments, and only lack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Woods have won more. Mickelson birdied the 72nd hole to cap an electric back nine that included four birdies, allowing him Amy Mickelson didn't traveled to a tournament since May, and she spent most of this week at a rented house before going to the course Sunday. Mickelson didn't know his family would be at the course Sunday. This Masters win was the sweetest for Mickelson, who had his wife and children awaiting him off the 18th green following the round. Mickelson shared a long, emotional embrace with wife Amy, who was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 months ago, following his final putt.

The 40-year-old fan favorite shot a torrid back nine for the second consecutive day and pulled off two of the most memorable Masters shots in recent years during the final two rounds. and to share this with my kids is something that we'll look back on the rest of our lives. This means so much to us to be able to share this type of jubilation." Mickelson hit his tee shot right of the fairway on the par-5 13th. The ball settled in the pine needles and between two trees 207 yards away from the green, which is guarded in front by a creek and behind by an embankment and bunkers. The left-hander took aim, split the trees and landed his second shot within 4 feet of the hole. He missed the short eagle putt but settled for a birdie and a two-shot lead at the time. "Certainly it was critical, and it was clutch, and it came at a great time," he said. "It may have looked hard, but there was a pretty good-sized gap between those trees and a pretty good lie. It was just a 6-iron, a lot of green left." That shot followed a memorable hole-out on his approach on No. 14 in the third round. Mickelson got into contention Saturday when he went eagle-eagle-birdie on Nos. 13-15 to come from five shots behind. Mickelson birdied No. 15 on Sunday, as well, and had a three-shot lead heading into the final three holes. Westwood added some pressure with a birdie on No. 17, but Mickelson didn't falter in his "I love Sunday at Augusta," Mickelson said. "Back in the '90s, it was the most nerve-wracking day. Still is, but I've just come to love and cherish it, and to play some of my best golf this week, as well as Said Westwood, "His second shot into 13 was incredible, and then he just played solid coming in." Mickelson has had the rap of being a player who made costly mistakes in big moments. He made plenty of mistakes Sunday, but he recovered from each one of them, including errant tee shots on four holes during a five-hole stretch. (Sunday), just feels incredible." final two holes. He made a clutch parp put on No. 17 and then had the birdie on the final hole. "I made a few loose swings, as I tend to do," he said. But Mickelson made some impressive up-and-down saves to make par on three of the holes and had the birdie on No. 13. "I let my short game make par," he said. Mickelson didn't say the par saves energized him, but a 20-foot birdie putt from above the hole on No. 12 certainly did. It was the first of his four back-nine birdies, and it was the one that broke a tie between him and Choi, who was attempting to become the second consecutive Asian to win a major following Y.E. Yang's win at last year's PGA Championship.

On Monday, Kansas will tee off in its final tournament of the season before the Big 12 Championship. The Jayhawks know they have to play well this week and finish strong if they are to have any shot at their biggest goal of the season, making the NCAA regionals. Edited by Drew Anderson WHAT TO WATCH FOR: The absence of junior Nate Barbee — Barbee will not play this week and is being rested for the Big 12 Championship. In 10 events this year, Barbee has finished in the top five in eight, Including a first place finish at the Kansas Invitational in Lawrence back in September. Barbee will certainly be missed as he was just recently Barbee named one of the top 25 college golfers in the country by Golfstat Cup Rankings. "This is a great accomplishment for Nate and nobody deserves it more or works harder," coach Kit Grove said. The leadership of senior Bryan Hackenberg — Hackenberg, along with Barbee led the Jayhawks all the way from seventh to fourth place in just one round last week at the Diet Pepsi Shocker Classic. Hackenberg broke out of his mini-spring slump to shoot a 74,77 and a 72 and secured a top-10 finish individually. Hackenberg has a lot of faith in JIM WATSON his team heading into this tournament. Hackenberg "If we all pull together I think we can win this one." Hackenberg said. The emergence of freshman Dan Waite — Playing in his first action this spring, Waite has already solidified himself as one of the top scorers for the Jayhawks. In Kansas' last two events, Waite finished in the top 20 individually. FORT WORTH "Dan has really been playing lately and that is definitely building his confidence, Grove said Waite COLLEGE BASKETBALL U.S. Junior Team beats world team PORTLAND, Ore. — North Carolina-bound Harrison Barnes scored 27 points and the U.S.Junior National Select Team beat a team of young international players 101-97 at the Nike Hoop Summit on Saturday night. Barnes, a 6-foot-8 guard from Ames (lowa) High School, hit a key 3-pointer that put Team USA up 94-92 with just over a minute left — after trailing by 74-62 going into the fourth quarter. Although Canadian Cory Joseph's layup tied it at 94, the world team could not pull back ahead. Enes Kanter, a 6-foot-10 center from Turkey who is committed to play for Kentucky, had 34 points and 13 rebounds. Kanter surpassed the Hoop Summit world team record of 33 points set by Dirk Nowitzki in 1998. "I played with my team," said Kanter, who is still working on his English. "I had 34 points because of my team." The U.S. team is part of USA Basketball's development program and coached by Bob Cimmino of Mount Vernon High School in New York. Last year's team, which included such players as Kentucky's John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, fell to the world team 97-89 in the Hoop Summit. Seven former Hoop Summit players were among the top 20 draft picks in last year's NBA draft. Overall, 53 former Team USA and 15 former world players were on current NBA rosters. On the international side, the game is a showcase for future Olympians. Associated Press COLLEGE FOOTBALL Florida starts a new era without Tim Tebow GAINESVILLE. Fla. _ Here's when it sinks in that Tim Tebow is gone and he isn't coming back. It's when the new backup quarterback for Florida refers to that bygone era as "back in the day." years ago. On Saturday, the Gators held their first spring scrimmage without Tebow in four years. An estimated crowd of 51,500 showed up to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to welcome in the new starting quarterback, John Brantley, and welcome back coach Urban Meyer. Meyer and his wife, Shelley, were presented honorary degrees at halftime. Brantley played well in his debut as a starter. But a true freshman quarterback stole the show. When has that ever happened here? Try four Tebow-lite made his debut Saturday. His name is Trey Burton, a 6-2, 225-pounder from Venice, Fla. and he had a great day. Passing: 12 of 18 for 120 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Rushing: 123 yards on 10 carries and two touchdowns. Burton had a 76-yard run in the second quarter during a threeplay, 95-yard scoring drive. It was the highlight of the spring game. After the game, Burton was asked if he likes running the ball. "I wouldn't want to do anything else," said Burton, who runs a 4.5-second 40-yard dash. And the play that went for 76 yards? "It's one of the plays they had Tebow running back in the day," Burton said. If Tebow is a back-in-the-day quarterback, then Burton is a throwback. Get to know him now and appreciate his performance Saturday. He likely won't put up those kind of numbers until next spring and, barring injury to Brantley, won't be the starter for two more years. "Coach has done an awesome job with me." Burton said of UF quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler. "They don't give me too much. They know exactly how much to give me, and I'm going to do the best I can to get this whole playbook in this summer." The first-string offense, which played against the first-team defense, won the scrimmage 27-24. Brantley was 15 of 19 for 201 vards and two touchdowns. Carl Moore, a rising fifth-year senior, led all receivers with five receptions for 102 yards and a score. Receiver Frankie Hammond Jr., who will be a redshirt sophomore this fall, had four receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown. Omarius Hines and T.J. Lawrence _ also redshirt sophomore receivers _ had one touchdown catch apiece. "People have been talking about our receivers not being as good as last year's or our defense not being as good as last year's," Brantley said. "I think that's what we want to prove, we're not going to miss anything." Summer workouts with strength coach Mickey Marotti and his staff begin Monday. The coaching staff will begin recruiting in earnest for 2011. As for Meyer, his role this summer is unknown. Unlike his previous summers as UF coach, Meyer will not attend booster club meetings, with assistant head coach Steve Addazio filling in. Delegating booster club obligations is the latest step in an ongoing process of limiting Meyer's workload and stress. He met reporters only three times this spring and took a medical leave of absence after the Sugar Bowl in January. "I just did some research on my own, and sports information director Steve McClain and the administration, we did some research on what other places do and the focus is on recruiting, our players, our team and obviously raising my children and the coaches raising their children and doing it the right way," Meyer said. "So if that takes away from other stuff, that's got to happen." OLLEGE BASKETBALL Ohio State player makes recoverv LOS ANGELES YouTube offers the cringe-inducing footage: Ohio State star Evan Turner takes off for a two-handed slam and awkwardly lands flat-backed on the hardwood, breaking bones in his spine. "It was horrible," he said of his December injury against Eastern Michigan. "I couldn't move. But the worst thing was, I knew I was going to miss some games." He missed a month's worth but came back to lead the Buckeyes to the Big Ten regular-season and conference championships, as well as the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament.

Jerry Wang/KANSAN Study up on: Student Senate platforms Student Senate elections begin Wednesday and candidates are tackling some recurring issues, such as textbooks and sustainability, but also introducing new ideas and approaches to their platforms. - Annie Vangsnes Envision Envision Presidential Candidate Ross Ringer said Envision's key platforms are its cost-reduction plan for textbooks and its work-for-credit internship program. Dinger said from the coalition's research they've found that Ringer said from the coalition's research, they've found that students at the University are paying about $1.5 to $2 million more than what they would be paying if professors turned in textbook paperwork on time. KU Bookstores is receiving twice the amount of the paperwork as it did last year because of new regulations from the Higher Education Opportunity Act that enforce stricter deadlines. However, some paperwork is still turned in late. "The problem is that there's no enforcement mechanism to make sure that professors are really following through with it," Ringer said. "It's kind of an empty statement." Ringer said the coalition wants to e-mail professors to remind them of upcoming deadlines and start a petition to raise awareness among students so they know the effects of the deadlines. Division's work-for-credit program. Ringer said, would work to improve Envision's work-for-credit program, Ringer said, would work to make college more affordable by integrating normal classes and full-time internships. It would allow students to be paid for internships gain career experience and earn 12 credits, while retaining full-time student status.

BY ELLIOT METZ emetz@kansan.com After holding its fourth annual Student Senate town hall meeting, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee has decided to endorse KUnited in the upcoming elections. The event was held Monday at the Wagnon Student Athlete Center and featured the presidential and vice presidential candidates for KUnited and Envision answering questions from about sixty student athletes in attendance. "We very excited about the endorsement from SAAC," said Michael Wade Smith, presidential candidate for KUnited. "Student athletes play so many roles, including those of student leaders. I think it says a lot about our platforms and our leadership style." Here is some of what the candidates had to say: Presidential Candidate for Envision "Our main goals are to lower the cost of textbooks and create comprehensive internship programs for students." "The big reason for high textbook costs is that professors aren't getting their re-adoption forms in on time." when asked which platform he would push most if forced to choose one. Ringer said he thought their work for credit internship program was the most important. MICHAEL WADE SMITH Decidential Candidate for United "The new pool is something we need to get done, and the money and the plans are already there." "We do want to do the textbook rental program. It's a good thing." We do want to do the textbook rental program, it's a good thing. When asked which platform he would push most if forced to choose one, Smith said that KUnited's sustainability platform was the most important. KUNITED SEE DEBATE ON PAGE 3A KUnited Presidential Candidate Michael Wade Smith said the coalition's key platforms are multicultural engagement and environmental sustainability at the University. The coalition's multicultural engagement platform advocates diversity training at Student Senator orientation and obligates senators to attend a certain number of programs throughout the year to increase their understanding of multicultural issues. "At KU, we often times say we're very diverse,very multicultural,but we don't always represent that in everything we do,"Smith said. He said the platform would not only focus on having multiculturalism present, but also have people "engaged" with it. Smith said sustainability at the University is another key issue,but that coalitions haven't looked at it in a broad enough sense. He said cooperation with administration is imperative to making changes and the first goal is to encourage the chancellor to sign the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment, which would place the University's sustainability at a top priority throughout the entire campus.The coalition wants to set up plans for the University to be fully sustainable within a set number of decades.

Elliot Metz NATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS Past contenders top list of potential new Supreme Court Justices WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's candidates for the Supreme Court include a new name, federal appeals court Judge Sidney Thomas of Montana, and at least six others who were contenders when Obama chose his first high court nominee last year. The Associated Press has learned. Among the others under consideration are former Georgia Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, federal appeals court judges Diane Wood and Merrick Garland, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Grohlman and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The president is seriously reviewing about 10 people as a potential nominee to replace Justice John Paul Stevens, who is retiring this summer. Seven of those names are now confirmed to the AP by the administration. A senior administration official said the president's consideration is not just centered on the three people receiving the most public attention: Wood, Kagan and Garland. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcements have been made about the people Obama is considering for the court. Thomas, 56, of Billings, Mont., serves on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the largest of the nation's appellate courts. He was nominated to the federal bench in July 1995 by then-President Bill Clinton and confirmed by the Senate in January 1996 with no controversy in a voice vote. He comes from Western roots — born in Bozeman, Mont., bachelor's degree from Montana State University, law degree from the University of Montana. Thomas worked in private practice in Billings and was an adjunct community college law professor there for years before becoming a federal judge. The White House on Monday quickly ended speculation about another potential nominee: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Her name had been floated as a possibility by Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, but White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama "is going to keep her as his secretary of state." Obama's list includes three people whom he interviewed as finalists when the court had an opening last year — Wood, Kagan and Napolitano. f ET CETERA Get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan.

KUganda, an on-campus group involved in raising awareness about the Invisible Children movement, is hosting a screening of the group's latest film, "GO," as part of its Legacy Tour. Invisible Children is a nationwide organization dedicated to using media to influence the war in Uganda. At tonight's screening, Pepito, a victim of the Ugandan war, will be a featured speaker. Victims of this war are known as Internally Displaced Persons. According to the United Nations, these people have been removed from their homes and are currently living in camps or other refugee-like situations. According to the Invisible Children website, there are currently 1 million people in IDP camps. "What's happening in Uganda is a violation of basic human rights," said Arielle Hernandez, president of KUganda. "It connects all of us." Hernandez, a junior from Houston, said that KUganda hosts a screening of an Invisible Children film each semester. "To hear the stories and testimonies of these people, it makes it really real," Hernandez said. Tonight's presentation will begin at 5 p.m. in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union. — Roshni Oommen "He was a delightful man in every way," she said. "That is one of the most interesting days I've ever had." LECTURE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) O'Connor grew up on a ranch in rural Arizona. She received her bachelor's degree in economics and her law degree both from Stanford University. She was working on the Arizona Court of Appeals when President Reagan extended a Supreme Court nomination to her. "I did not seek that job," O'Connor said. "I didn't know if I could do it well enough." But with encouraging words from her husband, the late John O'Connor, she accepted the president's nomination and became the first female U.S. Supreme Court Justice. "It is interesting that she was seemingly so isolated from Washington," Robert Bombard, a law student from Boulder, Co., said. "Her first visit was her trip to meet President Reagan, and it is so interesting to me that someone nominated to the highest court, until then, had never set foot in the nation's capitol." O'Connor also shared with the crowd how she landed her first job out of law school, and gave advice about pursuing job opportunities. "These are tough times" she said. "It's hard to get jobs." When O'Connor graduated from Stanford Law School in 1952, law firms did not hire women. She had two degrees from Stanford and still, she claimed, no law firm in California would give her an interview. She sought out the San Mateo county attorney and volunteered to work for free until a job became available. About four months later she had her own office and a paycheck. "That is what I tell young people today," O'Connor said. "You may have to be a little creative in getting that first job, but it's OK, make something of it and enjoy it." O'Connor also spoke about the retirement of Supreme Court Justice John Stevens to come at the end of the summer and her hopes for cooperation among members of congress. "We're at a time when there's so much controversy in the congress," O'Connor said. "I hope that we don't end up at odds with the selection of a new member of the court." Above all, O'Connor emphasized to young lawyers the importance of an independent and impartial court to the country. "Under our system of governance as we know it we have had one safe place and that safe place has been the courtroom, where it is possible for any citizen to have a fair and independent decision made by qualified decision makers," O'Connor said. "We can't let that go." SUNNY HILLS CENTER FOR ADULT SENIOR DIVISION — Edited by Kristen Liszewski NATIONAL Exhibit celebrates Apollo 13 flight CHICAGO — Surviving Apollo 13 astronauts and several flight directors reuited on Monday to remember a failed moon mission 40 years ago this week that they managed to turn into one of the greatest triumphs in the history of space exploration. Those who gathered included Apollo 13 commander James Lovell, fellow crew member Fred Haise and NASA's legendary flight director, Gene Kranz — all three of whom were immortalized in the 1995 movie "Apollo 13," which starred Tom Hanks as Lovell. "There's truly a unique bond. There is a brotherhood," Kranz said about how the crisis forged a lifelong bond between everyone involved. The Lawrence Community Shelter, 214 W. 10th St., will move to 3701 Franklin Park Cir., if the City Commission passes the shelter's zoning application. Although staff members are in support of the move, which will provide more space for staff and people who use the shelter, many shelter users are worried about the shelter moving too far away from downtown The Adler Planetarium, where the reunion took place, is holding a series of events this month commemorating the Apollo 13 flight. One exhibit includes a lunar helmet and gloves that Lovell was supposed to wear on the moon had the mission gone as planned. On April 13, 1970, an oxygen tank exploded as the spaceship was four-fifths of the way to the moon. The crew, which included Jack Swigert, who died in 1982, was forced to scrap the moon mission and focus solely on getting back to Earth alive. Lovell's calm if unsetting words to Mission Control following the explosion that, "Houston, we've had a problem"—now widely recited as, "Houston, we have a problem"—belied his quick internal calculation that their chances of survival were slim. In Houston,Kranz led hundreds of flight controllers and engineers in a furious rescue plan. He insisted on Monday that he never allowed himself to believe that the plan could fail. "But you don't put that in your mind," he said Monday. "You don't say how slim they are but rather how you can improve the odds." LAWRENCE New shelter location faces mixed reviews Associated Press BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com If the application passes, the shelter, 214 W. 10th St., will move to a larger building at 3701 Franklin Park Cir., near Haskell Indian Nations University. The City Commission vote on the Lawrence Community Shelter's zoning application has been deferred until April 20. "We have no space," said Loring Henderson, the shelter director. "We are crowded beyond belief here." However, while staff members are in favor of the move, many shelter users are concerned about how far away from downtown the new location is. The current building is between 6,600 and 7,700 square feet. The new building is about 25,000 square feet, Henderson said. The current shelter sleeps 53 in warmer months and 76 during the colder months. The new shelter plans to hold around 125 beds. people are seen." While space may be the main issue, Henderson said city politics have also played a role in instigating the move. "The city doesn't like where we are," he said. "We are too near downtown, and they don't like the fact that homeless But moving away from downtown could create issues for the shelter's users. The lack of public transportation from downtown to the new shelter, for instance, could pose a problem for some, shelter-user David Mincey said. "If you don't have actual appointments, you aren't going to be able to get bus passes, and that would be quite a long walk." Mincey said. People might also look to other outlets for help, said Cathy Davies, who recently began using the shelter. Davies appreciates the help the current location has given to her and the rest of the community. "I couldn't have survived the last month without them," she said. "They've been awesome to me." However, Davies said people in need of help might look instead to churches and other organizations located downtown before going to the new shelter located farther away. "The way the churches and Salvation Army helps down here, there's no way someone is going to go clear out in the country." Davies said. "I just don't see it happening." To deal with the location concerns, Henderson said plans are in the works for arranging a bus stop at the new shelter. "We've met with the transit authority, and they're working hard to give us a bus stop." Henderson said. "They haven't committed to that, but it looks pretty likely that they will." It would still be a regular fare, but the shelter receives money from the city for bus passes. Henderson said. The shelter would transition to its new location 12 to 18 months after the application passes, Henderson said. "It depends on how fast we can raise the money," he said.

Green fund will create sustainable projects BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com From light bulbs to solar panels, the new Revolving Green Fund will finance sustainable projects across campus. Tyler Enders, a junior from Leawood, and J.J. Siler, a senior from Overland Park, have worked to start the fund for more than a year, but Student Senate just approved $10,000 to start the fund. April 7. The fund will pool money from the University and use it in investments aimed at reducing energy costs and consumption. All the improvements will be monitored so the savings can be tracked. The money earned through the savings will be returned to the fund. "Instead of giving a one-time gift, the donor gives a gift that keeps on giving." Enders said. "The gift might go toward double pane windows, and then five years later toward solar panels." The Kansas University Endowment Association also plans to add money to the fund once it is set up, Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, senior vice president of communications at the association, said. Right now, the fund has a lot of planning left, Theresa Gordzica, chief business and financial planning officer for the University, said. The University has a list of projects to begin with the fund, but the money will first go to the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness. Recreation Fitness Center. Exact plans for greening the recreation center have not been made, but Gordizka said she hoped to have a meeting by the end of the semester to talk through the timeline.

INTERNATIONAL Earthquakes rock province in China BEIJING — A series of strong earthquake struck China's western Qinghai province Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said. There were no immediate reports of casualties in the remote rural area, though witnesses described houses quickly crumbling. The USGS reported on its Website that a magnitude 6.9 temblor struck an area in southern Qinghai, near Tibet, on Wednesday morning and was followed by two quakes in the same region. The quake hit the county of Yushu, a Tibetan area in Qinghai, the official Xinhua News Agency cited the China Earthquake Networks Center as saying. The Chinese center measured the quake's magnitude at 7.1.A local government Website put the county's population in 2005 at 89,300,a community of mostly herders and farmers. The quake sent residents fleeing as it toppled many houses made of mud and wood, said Gasong Nima, the Yushu county television station's deputy head of news, speaking by phone with state broadcaster CCTV. Associated Press "In a flash, the houses went down. It was a terrible earthquake," the witness said. "In a small park, there is a Buddhist tower and the top of the tower fell off." LIZARD (CONTINUED FROM 1A) and evolutionary biology, compared DNA sequencing of the specimen with its relatives to confirm it was a new species. The three coauthored and published a report on their findings this month in Biology Letters. The adult male specimen revealed distinguishing shape morphology to its double-barreled reproductive organ, or hemipenis (a feature common in many reptiles), creating a lock and key effect in that it can only fit into females of the same species. This prevents any gene flow among different populations. "Field work can only do so much," Welton said. "In order to validate this thing as being an actual scientific discovery, it required many more hours of lab work here back at the University than in the field." Brown said he hoped the discovery would encourage ecologists to study the lizard's lifestyle and behaviors. 785-841-5000 1445 W 23rd St Monday-Wednesday 2 PM-3AM Thursday 2 PM-3130 AM Fri./Sat, 11 AM - 4 AM; Sunday 11 AM - 3AM GUMBY'S Pizza Gumby Dammit 14" Large Cheese Pizza OR 16" XL Cheese Pizza $4.99 $6.49 Valid delivery or carryout Must mention when ordering 12” Mix'N Match • 10 Wings • 5 Pepperoni Rolls: Choose any 2 for • 12” I-item Pizza $15.00 • 12” Pokey Stix 16” Mix'N Match • 20 Wings • 9 Pepperoni Rolls: Choose any 2 for • 10” I-item Pizza $20.00 • 16” Pokey Stix Campus Special 1- Item Pizza or Pokey Stix Small: $6.99 Medium: $7.99 Large: $8.99 Ex-Large: $9.99 Massive 20": $13.99 [Derns and Greek Houses Only] "We need them out there before we can really understand this animal," Brown said.

"When I was a little kid, I had this dream that I would be able to name new species of animals, and being able to do that so early in my career makes so many things seem possible." Welton said he became interested in herpetology, the study of reptiles and amphibians, while attending Free State High School and eventually managed Pet World's reptile breeding center while working on his undergraduate degree. He has published three species descriptions so far as a graduate student under Brown and will get more opportunities to conduct field- expedition. LUKE WELTON KU graduate student Brown, who wrote the proposal for the grant from the National Science Foundation, said the studies in the Philippines were important to preserving the biodiversity of the region, which is under constant threat of deforestation. The grant has set out to comprehensively survey the biodiversity of vertebrates in the Philippines and will fund five to six expeditions each year for another three years. "Every trip I've been a part of we have found at least a half-dozen undescribed species," Welton said. "We're all eager with anticipation to see what else we can turn up."

We did not have an online edition when I was there. Being a journalist has changed so much since I was at the Kansan. We didn't have cell phones. When you were a reporter at the Kansan, you had to sit at the desk or you'd miss a source calling you. There was definitely an added degree of difficulty. There has been this amazing fast forward change since I've been at the Kansan. It was something I had always wanted to do even when I was at KU. At the Kansan I begged to cover any elected official that came to campus. When I was at KU I thought I might actually go to law school, but I fell in love with covering it while I was at the Kansan. Have you always had a passion for covering politics? What are your future plans? What are your future plans? I want to stay in Dallas and I'm even more motivated to keep writing about these neighborhoods and the help they need.

"Exclusivity comes at a high price, and that's what people are looking for," says Ray Waddell, the senior editor for touring at Billboard magazine. Because the number of front-row seats is limited, the top-tier packages may cap out at as few as a dozen customers, so they tend to sell quickly. There could be 200 other "gold" and "silver" packages at the same show, with different seats and perks. More than half of arena and stadium tours offer bonus arrangements of this type.

The Kansan Editorial Board endorses them. Smith and Ritter are the best fit for these esteemed positions because of their experiences in Senate. They have also shown not only that they know their goals but they also know the specific steps that need to be taken to achieve these goals. One of the many goals Smith and Ritter outlined is to make Student Senate more accessible for students. They showed a good awareness that Senate is designed to serve the student body and that they want to ensure that attending Senate meetings isn't daunting to students. Before making final decisions about their platform goals, Smith and Ritter met with students from various groups around campus and asked them what they wanted. Based on these meetings, as well as a series of surveys, Smith and Ritter have outlined goals that mirror the wants and needs of KU students. These goals are specific to campus and realistic to accomplish. Smith and Ritter said one of Smith and Ritter also want to work on the University's sustainability. They would ask Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little to sign an agreement called the American Colleges and Universities Presidents Climate Commitment that many other universities around the country including Gray-Little's previous employer, North Carolina have already signed. The agreement would hold our University publicly accountable to reaching 100 percent sustainability within a set number of years. Smith and Ritter said they heard a lot of frustration from students about how clogged campus gets during men's basketball games. Their solution would be to make it safer and easier for students to get to campus on those days by providing a free busing system similar to Park & Ride. The proposal to create a program called "The Big Event," is something to be truly excited about. "The Big Event" would be a student-run day of service that would have students go into Lawrence and work on projects to improve the community as a way of saying "Thank you." After experiencing a similar program at Texas A&M University, Smith was inspired to bring a day of community service to Lawrence. Smith said projects could vary from cleaning up parks or painting houses. This idea is something that would work well with the student body at the University and within the Lawrence community. Envision candidates Ross Ringer and Devon Cantwell show promise in their goals for the University and we look forward to following their careers in Senate, but Smith and Ritter are the best choice for this election. As students fill out their ballots, they should remember they have the choice to vote split ticket for the roles other than president and vice president. They should vote for senators whom they believe would serve and represent them best on a case-by-case basis. Smith and Ritter would serve the University well as president and vice president. They have planned out their goals and have reflected the views of the student body. Smith and Ritter are confident in their ability to serve the student body and so are we. The Kansan Editorial Board EDITORIAL CARTOON TAN HOUSE CLOSED FOR SUMMER AROOJ KHALID RELATIONSHIPS Facebook falsification As much as I try to avoid it, I know that my Facebook profile misrepresents me. That was actually a lesson I learned the hard way in my Spanish class last year. For some reason my professor wanted to be Facebook friends with my entire class and I believed her when she specifically promised "not to judge." One day in the middle of class, true to her tendency to blurt out off-topic statements, she admitted to Facebook creeping on me the previous night and told my entire class that my Facebook made me look like an alcoholic. resents me. Determined to prove her wrong, the second I got home that day I opened my own profile and began scanning through my tagged photos. I basically creeped on my own profile as if I were a stranger — and I was stunned to see the wrongful conclusions people could easily draw. PETER SCHAFFEL I came to the conclusion that Facebook is more of a personalized version of US Weekly than a true social network. Just as most of the pictures in popular tabloids are meant to provide entertainment and lead us to Texts in the City BY MANDY MATNEY make assumptions about celebrities, Facebook pictures lead us to wrongful conclusions about our friends. If my tagged photos on Facebook actually provided a realistic glimpse of my life, it's boring. I know that no one wants to look at pictures of me slaving away in Anschutz or sweating like a pig on the elliptical. So, although I spend way more time doing homework or working out than I do going out, my Facebook pictures fail to represent that. The potential for misrepresentation doesn't stop with the pictures. Wall posts, listed interests and status updates can also create a distorted image. For example, I've been asked more than a dozen times if I'm dating my best guy friend from people who only read our wall posts. Yes, it is pathetic and creepy. But I could also see how our frequent and sarcastic wall posts could, indeed, mislead people. Six years ago, in the pre-Facebook days, people didn't need to Facebook stalk crushes to get a grasp of their personality A recent Nielson Company survey of web users found that Facebook users spend an average of seven hours a month using the site. Honestly, that's a modest number compared to how much time my friends and I spend on Facebook. Imagine what we, "The Facebook Generation," could accomplish if we spent a little less time creeping, and a little more time on, say, curing cancer I've heard that historians will label us "The Facebook Generation." Aside from the results social network addiction has on our generation's IQ, it's equally important to make sure it doesn't cause social damage. Just as we were told not to judge a book by its cover, parents need to start telling their kids not to judge a person by his or her Facebook. Matney is a sophomore from Shawnee in journalism. ETIQUETTE Ironically, line cutting gets you nowhere fast I was at Walgreen's the other day, waiting in an unnecessarily long checkout line to buy eye drops for my allergies. To be more efficient, customers were waiting in one line. The next person in line would go to whatever register was open. However, what may have been a successful strategy became chaotic when a Walgreen's employee walked up from the other side of the store. "I can take someone over in cosmetics," she said. A mad dash ensued. Of course, the last person in line rushed with her purchases to the cosmetics section. Those who lost the fight returned to the master line wanting their original spots back. Needless to say things got a bit ridiculous. I had nowhere to be and couldn't have cared less, so I just chose to wait. Manners Made Easy Still, I couldn't help but be struck by how ridiculous the whole scene was. Why is it that when the opportunity to save one minute of time arises, many people break into a frantic panic? And why do so many care so little about the orderliness, fairness and timeliness that organized lines at checkouts are designed to create? I'll be blunt: Don't be one of those people. Cutting in line, whether it's at the drug store, the Underground, the DMV or the security line at the airport, is inconsiderate and tacky. There is no quicker way to say, "I have the impatience and maturity of a five-year-old" than butting in front of others. Everyone has places they'd rather be. No one wants to spend more time than necessary on mundane tasks such as waiting in line. The real awkwardness of this situation arises when line jumping means more than POLYTECHNICIAN BY RICHELLE BUSER waiting an extra moment or two. Take, for example, a busy bar on a Friday night. Some may be waiting for 20 minutes or more to get into a specific venue for the evening. If a crowd of girls go "say hi" to a friend closer to the front and then never proceed to take their places at the end of the line, the time others have to wait will undoubtedly be longer. So what's a line-cutter victim to do? First, assess the situation. If the difference in time is a few moments, it's probably not worth the effort to create a scene. Yes, it's obnoxious. But sometimes being the adult means letting go of the petty stuff. If, however, the offense is one that greatly causes an inconvenience for others, it may be time to speak up. Try confronting the line-cutter in a friendly manner with a tap on the shoulder. "Excuse me, I'm not sure if you knew, but the line actually starts back there." Most people are embarrassed when their behavior is called out and will promptly apologize, feign ignorance and scamper to the back of the line. If they don't, it may be necessary to just let this battle go. Causing a ruckus is rarely worth ruining a night. Buser is a senior from Columbia, Ill., in English and journalism. SAI FOLMSBEE "SAI THE SCIENCE GUY" DONG LIANG WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? Blaring iPod music Are students listening to music too loudly? No, they aren't listening to it loud enough. Here is the solution. I recently purchased a vintage, '80s style boombox. To answer your first question, yes, it does have bass boost. And, to prove its authenticity, it came with a cassette tape of Boyz II Men Christmas songs. Rather than blasting out those poor ear buds, I propose you strut around campus with one of these bad boys on your shoulder. Requiring only nine D batteries and weighing only 40 pounds, it is the portable and elegant alternative. What? You want me to turn it down? Well, I'm too awesome for that. And I'm pretty sure there isn't a volume knob. 魏玲玲 JOSIE HO "LIFE IN A KALEIDOSCOPE" It's undoubtedly good enjoyment to listen to your favorite music while savoring this breezy weather. But, remember not to turn your joy into other people's earaches. Some music lovers like to turn the volume up very high while walking around campus, sitting in the hallway or even studying in libraries. They may find it spiritual and helpful to their study, but it can be distracting and annoying to others. Please don't force people to listen to your music. Also, that high volume you are blaring can cause permanent damage to your ears. So, if you truly want to sustain your love for music, do yourself and everyone else a favor by keeping the volume down.

NEWS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM CAMPUS Tour raises awareness about children in Uganda Invisible Children visits KU to show its film called "Go" INVISIBLE CHILDREN Pepito, a Ugandan refugee, speaks Tuesday evening at the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union about his experiences growing up during the conflicts in northern Uganda. Pepito's appearance was part of an event held by KUganda, a group affiliated with Invisible Children, which aims to raise awareness of the conflict in Uganda and provide support for victims. BY ROSHNI OOMEN roomen@kansan.com A few years ago, Pepito, a teenager from Uganda, was trying to raise enough money to go to high school. When Pepito was three, his father was killed by the Lord's Resistance Army, a militant group based in northern Uganda. His sister was abducted, and later killed. That same year, Pepito said, his mother abandoned him. From then on, Pepito lived on his own, trying to raise enough money to feed himself and make it through school, which is not free in Uganda. He tried working in construction or as a security guard, but both jobs were extremely dangerous. Now, Pepito is touring the United States, asking young people to help raise money for kids like him — kids who can barely afford to live, let alone pay for high school. Pepito is a part of the Legacy Tour, the Invisible Children movement's latest program. As part of the Legacy Tour, the group is asking students to fund scholarships for kids in Uganda. The Legacy Tour came to the University Tuesday, and showed a screening of its film "GO" to about 60 students. Because of the war in northern Uganda, the living conditions and educational opportunities for these kids have drastically changed. "Ive grown up in the warzone, I've seen what war looks like," Pepito said. "I've known what war looks like from the time of birth." Invisible Children is dedicated to using media to influence the war in Uganda. During its tour of the nation the Invisible Children group has shown its films to thousands of young people. The scholarship fund commits a young person to pay $35 dollars a month. This money pays for a Ugandan student's entire education, from secondary to university level. It also provides students with a mentor, a role model and a guide for life. There are currently 800 Ugandan students receiving scholarships to attend school at the secondary and university levels. be a lawyer and Howard is determined to help him reach that goal. Okot Geoffrey Howard, a program manager of the Invisible Children Scholarship Program who lived in Uganda, is Pepito's mentor. Pepito has aspirations to "My biggest task is to continue mentoring him to be whatever he wants to be." Howard said. "My experience was often far worse than Pepito's, but I'm so glad I'm here as his role model." When he was six years old, Howard said, he was forced to walk barefoot to escape abduction and to survive. Abducted children were forced to join the Lord's Resistance Army, Howard said. "When I go to sleep in my bedroom, I sleep with my lights on," Howard said. "When I go to sleep with them off, I see a lot of the sad memories from when I was young." KUganda, an on-campus group that works directly with the Invisible Children movement, hosted Tuesday's event. Alex Linderer, a sophomore from Lenexa, and is co- Vice-president of KUganda, said that the Invisible Children movement was important because of the role it played in Uganda. "It provides jobs for Northern Ugandans and builds schools for its children to learn and to grow into leaders," Linderer said. "Americans aren't going to rebuild northern Uganda, northern Ugandans are." Four scholarships were raised for Ugandan students Tuesday night. Invisible Children representative Adam Palumbo said that the tour had raised more than 1600 secondary level scholarships and more than 50 university level scholarships for Ugandan students. "I don't think the benefits or somebody's efforts can ever be truly measured," Linderner said. "But I know that if everything I've done, if anything the people in KUganda or Invisible Children have ever done, has helped even one child in northern Uganda have a better life, it has been worth it."

BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter.com/bm dub On March 31, Kansas needed every bit of a 7-1 lead to hang on for a 7-6 victory after Missouri State rallied for five runs in the final two innings. Tuesday, the Jayhawks again looked to be cruising toward another victory, comfortably ahead 6-0 through seven innings, led by early offense and dominant pitching from redshirt freshman Thomas Taylor. But as it had in the previous meeting, late inning drama reared its head — providing another close finish as Kansas (20-13-1, 3-5-1) pulled away for a 6-4 victory. "It got a lot closer than we would have liked, there's no doubt about it," coach Ritch Price said. The Jayhawks, who came into the game with a 10-4 record when scoring in the first inning, wasted little time getting started. Junior right fielder Casey Lytle led off the game with a single, stole second base and advanced to third on an error, and was followed by senior second baseman Robby Price, who drove him in with an RBI ground out to second. Kansas tacked on another run in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by left fielder Jimmy Waters, and Robby Price made the lead 4-0 when he blasted a two-run home run in the fifth. "Thomas did a fantastic job," Robby Price said. "I think that's the best he thrown this year." With the way Taylor was pitching, it didn't look like the jayhawks would need the additional run support. Michael Gulledge / THE STANDARD Taylor's fastball wasn't the only pitch to consistently find the strike zone either — he was equally accurate with his curve ball. The youngster has struggled at times this season with his control, but that wasn't the case Tuesday. Taylor continually got ahead in the count, throwing first-pitch strikes to 11 of the 16 batters he faced. Taylor easily handled the Bears during his five innings of work, allowing only one hit and striking out a career-high eight batters. "That was the key tonight," Senior Brett Lisher takes a swing during Tuesday night's game against Missouri State.

"All I know is it's time to get the ball out," Oguntodu said. "When I hear him say something, it's time to get the ball out. That's what I try to do." As one defensive back cradles a ball, the other waits for Torbush to shout instructions, signaling for the ball to be stripped. Thing is, junior safety Olaitan Oguntodu isn't sure what the southern-accented Torbush is velling. Through 10 practices, players, assistant coaches and coach Turner Gill have preached a simple idea: Kansas' defense is working to be more aggressive this season. So far this spring, that's exactly what all of Kansas' defenders are trying to do. Kansas' 17 turnovers ranked last in the Big 12 last season and, not surprisingly, the Jayhawks finished with the conference's worst turnover margin. Now the Jayhawks are attempting to flip those numbers around under the new direction of Torbush. "We're definitely making an attempt to get to the ball, get turnovers." Oguntodu said. "We run drills where it's devoted to stripping the ball, falling on the ball. And we do that every practice." Room 312-S And with more aggressive play generally comes more turnovers. Upon hearing the whistle, Oguntodu said, the rest of the layhawks rush to the spot with the hope of freeing the ball from the player's hands. At the end of a play during practice, one of Kansas' coaches blows a whistle, signaling the initial tackle has been made. Valerie Skubal/KANSAN "That's just our emphasis now."

The Kansas Relays, beginning today, are one of those lost gems that many students don't realize they are missing. Filled to capacity with more than 50,000 fans on a cool, fall night, Memorial Stadium provides an electric college football atmosphere. Allen Fieldhouse, rocking with the 16,000-plus passionate fans, creates The Phog and an iconic image and experience that sometimes finalizes students' intentions to attend the University. The Kansas relays do not come to mind when you think of major sporting events to highlight on your calendar, and you won't see people camping out for tickets. But anybody who enjoys sitting in the spring sun, watching some highly competitive athletes, or simply enjoys checking out all the spandex you can imagine, will enjoy the Kansas Relays. There is no tanning tax by the U.S. government, and it is free for KU students. If you participated in track in high school, you know the relaxing nature of the sport. There is the 100-meter dash, then an hour-and-a-half break before your next race. Going to the Kansas Relays brings that social, relaxing aspect of track to the spectator. And although some people watch a basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse and fall in love with Kansas, my first visit was because of the Kansas Relays. And guess what? I was still hooked. I wasn't even a track junky; I actually hated running. But there is nothing like being outside on a beautiful day, eating sunflower seeds and soaking up the sun. When I came to the Kansas Relays in 2006, world-class sprinters Maurice Green and Justin Gatlin competed in Memorial Stadium. Green held the world record in the 100-meter dash and was known for the extremely large tongue he flaunted at the end of each race. Gatlin and Green, both Olympic champions, anchored the 4x100 meter relay. The moment rivaled another moment in Memorial Stadium when Kansas blew out Nebraska, 76-39, during the 2007 season. Although the stands were only one-tenth as full as the football game, the fans were rocking like the Olympics were being held here in our town of Lawrence. This year is no different. Veronica Campbell-Brown, one of only two women to win back-to-back gold metals at the Olympics, will be running at the Kansas Relays. She is the female equivalent of Jamaican male teammate Usain Bolt. The forecast calls for low 80s the next two days. Ladies and gentlemen, go get tan and cheer for the Kansas track and field team. It's free and, hey, it provides a great break between classes. Edited by Taylor Bern 2B SPORTS WEDNESDAY.

Draped on one man's right side was an American flag. Whether one thinks the protesters might have a worthy argument, or thinks that they are compiled of mostly irrational bigots, the fact is that gays and lesbians are still widely viewed as unequal to heterosexuals. And nowhere is this struggle more hidden and pervasive than in the world of sports. Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel knew this and took a stand. PETER MELVIN Tressel, who tightly knots his tie under a sweater vest for every game, is heterosexual and as conservative as they come. Fresh off a Rose Bowl victory against Oregon, he took some time out of his recruiting process to pioneer change. Last month Tressel conducted the first published interview between a Division-I football head coach and a gay/lesbian magazine, Outlook: Columbus. The words from "The Vest," as Tressel is called, speak for themselves. "When I think of the diversity we've had on our team the past few years, it goes way beyond just a racial, sexual or ethnic mix. We've had players who had different religions, players who came from different economic backgrounds, BY MAX ROTHMAN players who are parents, who are spouses who are caring for alluring parents, who are wheelchair-bound, who are battling cancer, and on and on." Tressel said. "Whatever a young man feels called to express, I hope we will help him do it in a supportive environment. Everybody is important, and maturity is learning to find and appreciate those differences in others" Tressel's message is the most recent in a thin yet profound chain of recognition for gav history in sports. In the '80s, we saw tennis star and proud lesbian Martina Navratilova come out of the closet and encourage other athletes to do the same. In February of 2007, John Amaechi became the first former professional basketball player to openly distinguish himself as gay. He later wrote the book "Man in the Middle," explaining his life story and how he initially concealed his sexual preferences in the NBA. THE MORNING BREW Amaezi's book describes his surprise at the atmosphere of teams off the court. "The pro locker room was the most flamboyant place I'd ever been this side of a swanky club full of martini-drinking gay men ... The guys flaunted their perfect bodies. They bragged of their sexual exploits. They checked out each other's cocks. They primped in front of the mirror, applying cologne and hair gel by the bucketful." Amaechi wrote. There are undoubtedly numerous gay and lesbian athletes who keep quiet in the clutches of societal and personal pressures. Someday, it might not have to be a ground-breaking revelation to simply state one's sexual preference. Someday, it might just be the next link in the chain.

After Kansas' offense produced a quick run in the top of the first, redshirt freshman Thomas Taylor took the mound and easily retired Missouri State in order in the bottom half. Game to remember Redshirt freshman Thomas Taylor Taylor pitched, by far, his best ballgame in his career at the University. He dominated the Bears for five innings, allowing only one hit — a single — in the fourth inning. The youngster also struck out a career-high eight batters while boasting great control of his fastball and curveball. PARKS Taylor Game to forget Senior pitcher Travis Blankenship Though the rest of Kansas' pitchers consistently threw strikes, Blankenship didn't have the same success. The Jayhawks' reliable lefty faced four batters in the eighth, but recorded only one out — giving up two hits and one walk. All three batters came around to score after fellow reliever sophomore redshirt Matt Kohorst also struggled to find the strike zone. Blankenship From the stat book 11-6 For a pitcher struggling with his command, nothing is more important than getting ahead of a batter by throwing the first pitch for a strike. And redshirt freshman Thomas Taylor fired strikes to 11 of the 16 batters he faced Tuesday. WIN A $200 GIFT CARD. FIND AN APARTMENT. ON CAMPUS APT. FEST 2010 UDK + APT.

In perspective With the must-have victory Tuesday night, the Jayhawks shook off their disappointing three-game sweep over the weekend. With the rest of the week off until they head to Lincoln to face Nebraska, Kansas now has the momentum it needs to focus on winning another important Big 12 series. BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) coach Price said, who also called Taylor's performance the best of his career. "He was able to mix in his breaking ball for a strike and still finish hitters off with his fastball." Kansas added single runs in the sixth and seventh on RBI by Lytle and senior Brett Lisher, extending the cushion to 6-0. Even when Taylor left the game, senior Wally Marceli picked up where he left off, throwing scoreless innings in the sixth and seventh. But the surplus of runs was essential because the Bears nearly made a comeback identical to the March 31 matchup. Aided by four walks in the eighth – two coming with the bases loaded - Missouri State narrowed Kansas' lead to 6-3. Sophomore Colton Murray was forced to enter the game, where he easily recorded the final two outs of the inning and ended the threat. "I wasn't expecting to go in at all, but all of a sudden they started scoring runs, so I got ready to go," Murray said. The ninth wasn't as easy — the Bears slapped back to-back singles and scored a run on a balk by Murry. But Kansas' new closer settled down, closed out Missouri State's threat and earned the save. Murray said that when an opponent threatened to rally late in the game, he and his fellow teammates in the bullpen didn't get plagued by nerves - they aimed to rise to the occasion. "We want to stop it," he said. "We want to be the guy to go out there and get it done." GAME NOTES: Top of the order to ya' Kansas' top three hitters - Lytle, junior center fielder Brian Heere and Robby Price - combined to go 5-for-12 Tuesday. The trio also combined to score a total of five runs, drove in four, stole three bases and walked. With his two-hit evening, Price also extended his hitting streak to 18 games. Waiting for the weekend Pitching coach Ryan Graves took Taylor out of the ballgame in the fifth not because he was tiring, but because the layhawks plan on saving him to pitch this weekend in Nebraska.

Buckle up, Americal C KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 2010 / SPORTS 5B DEFENSE (CONTINUED FROM 1B) 26 13 13 37 Oguntodu said. Phillip Srozier strips the ball from fellow safety Lubbock Smith. Kansas' defense focuses on aggressive play and quickness to create more opponent turnovers. Jerry Wang ANKASN Jerry Wang/KANSAN Kansas' defense received its fair share of criticism last season, often playing well for stretches before buckling late Junior linebacker Justin Springer described the unit as inconsistent after starting the season 5-0. With the departure of safety Darrell Stuckey, the defense returns again as a question mark this season. "I'm not saying nobody believes in us, but a lot of people don't believe in us," Springer said. "We've got to prove everybody wrong." So far, with positions and starters far from settled, the biggest emphasis appears to be taking possessions away from opponents. Perhaps no position may have as many opportunities to do so as the secondary. The defensive backfield fell under scrutiny last season after surrendering big plays against Iowa State and Colorado in the fifth and sixth games of the season. Because of that, the Jayhawks continually rotated players, and the unit never developed a consistent group of starters. Plus, the secondary simply struggled to force turnovers. In eight Big 12 games last season, the layhawks picked off only three passes. This season, Kansas is attempting to build a risk-taking mentality. "You have to free guys up to play, and you have to free guys up to play fast," cornerbacks coach Vic Shealy said. "Some of that is being able to take a calculated risk. If you are afraid to make a mistake because you'll be sitting on the sideline, then you play slow" During practices, Shealy pushes Kansas' cornerbacks to cover a receiver more tightly. In that case, Shealy said, cornerbacks understand when it is appropriate to take risks and when to play it safe. "Right now," Shealy said, "you tell them. I want to see you let that cushion shrink. If you get run by on a deep ball, blame it on me. But I want you to see what it feels like to let a receiver begin to press you a little bit." Those points reflect back to the same basic principle: A more aggressive defense offers more chances to create turnovers. So far this spring, that's an area Kansas is working on. "We want to be a defense that people know that we can run and that we're aggressive," Gill said. Edited by Drew Anderson JAMES (CONTINUED FROM 1B) thusiasts. Eventually James' works expanded to a national scale and eventually swayed the perception of baseball, the childhood love that he never let slip away. He coined the term "Sabermetrics", after the Society for American Baseball Research, to define his array of statistics founded upon objectivity. "My reputation is based entirely on finding the right question to ask," James said. Another more recent assumption is that in every season, no matter the team, 100 of the 162 games in a regular season are pre- "27-year-old players hit 68% more home runs in the Major Leagues than do 32-year-old players." James said. He does so by breaking "In order to advance the sphere of what is known about baseball, you have to learn to identify your own ignorance." BILL JAMES Red Sox senior advisor down an unknown and locating the point of potential subjectivity. Through numbers, James aims to reach as close to objectivity as mathematics allows. James countered these claims, stating that the risk of stealing a base or bunting — a potential out— is not always worth the attempt. He also argued a player's true prime with statistical evidence. One of his examples went like this: Which characteristics define a winning and/or successful baseball team? So called "experts" have said that player hit their prime at ages 28-32. They also say that teams gain an advantage stealing bases and bunting the runner on first base over to second base. Some say that it is inevitable that a team will lose 50 games and win 50 games. The outcome of other 62 games decide whether the season was a success or a failure. James calculated that this claim is both inaccurate and misleading. He said that only about 40 games in a season result in a blowout, thus, 122 games are toss ups. Obviously, financial and talent pools skew these numbers. However, James repeatedly noted that his numbers rely on arbitrary factors and that he has no official credentials, other than credibility itself. But despite his apparent bashing of the conventional wisdom of scouts, James does hold a certain respect for the tiring trade. "I admire the ability of scouts to look at a young hitter and note things about his swing that may predict what he will be able to adjust to at higher levels of competition," James said. "I also lust after those really cool radar guns." But trusting the subjectivity of the eye often pales in comparison to the truth of the objective number. John Henry, owner of the Boston Red Sox and Baseball Abstract enthusiast, felt the same way. In 2002, he hired James as a Senior Advisor of Baseball Operations. The move was controversial, but paid its dividends. After all, it was partly James' idea to sign David "Big Papi" Ortiz and trade for Mark Bellhorn, two once unheralded players who played key roles in Boston's 2004 World Series title, its first since 1918. He is still writing and digging for the next great baseball metric. So long as James and his followers continue to ask questions, baseball will continue to crawl toward complete objectivity. "You don't learn anything by focusing on stuff that you already know," James said. "In order to advance the sphere of what is known about baseball, you have to learn to identify your own ignorance."

DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas The Jayhawks placed in the top five for the third straight tournament Tuesday. This time the Jayhawks' finish took place in the form of a three-way tie for fifth place at the Missouri Intercollegiate in Columbia, Mo. BY ANDREW WITUSZYNSKI awituszsniki atkansan.com Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute, left, interviews Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins Tuesday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on West campus. Perkins, who was voted world's best sports executive through a TIME magazine online poll in 2008, discussed leadership and globalization in sports. "Overall we played OK this week," coach Kit Grove said. "We hoped to build on our good second round a little more than we did." Top scorer for Kansas was freshman Chris Gilbert, who was even par for the event and tied for ninth place. It was Gilbert's best finish for the Jayhawks in his young career. "This was a great experience for Gilbert to get a top 10 finish," Grove said, "There were definitely some positives." Nebraska came in first with a score of seven under par as a team. Kansas State placed in second with Missouri coming in Freshman Alex Gutesha shot rounds of 75, 72, and 76 and was the second-best scorer for the lavhawks. third, Brandon Crick of Nebraska, and Curtis Yonke of Kansas State were both five under par for the three rounds and shared first-place honors for the tournament. Fellow freshman Dan Waite finished just one stroke behind Gutesha at eight over par for the tournament. Senior Bryan Hackenberg also shot eight over par in the three rounds and sophomore Blake Giroux finished at 11 over par. The three rounds were a bit of an up and down for Kansas with a total score of 301 in the first round, 282 in the second and 302 in the final round. "I got off to bad starts in every round, but I was happy with the way I improved after that," Gutesha said. said. "The guys need to do a better job of controlling their high and low emotions." "This seems to be the way it goes for us; we'll play a good round and then a bad one." Grove The Jayhawks' next event is the three-day Big 12 Championship in Trinity, Texas starting April 23. Kansas will be looking for redemption against Nebraska, Kansas State and Missouri. "We're going to try and build on some of the positives we had in this tournament and it will be nice to get our horse Nate back," Grove said. Junior Nate Barbee is the team's number-one player. Because of a back injury he was unable to play this week, but should be ready to go in two weeks. "Getting Nate back will be huge for us," Gutesha said, "If we all play well at the same time, we can do well in the Big 12." — Edited by Katie Blankenau VIVA LA ROMANA good friends great Place smart living Largest Floorplan in Town Private Shuttle to KU Campus Fully Furnished w/ Washer & Dryer Free Internet & Best Cable Package Pet Friendly International Students Welcome P Legends Place smart student living.com 4101 W. 24th Place, Lawrence, KS 66047 (785) 856-5848 2 Blocks West of HyVee on Clinton Parkway. 6B SPORTS / WEDNESDAY. APRIL 14, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM SOFTBALL Kansas hopes to build from first Big 12 win zgetz@kansan.com twitter.com/zgetz After securing the first Big 12 Conference victory of the season against Baylor, senior infielder Sara Ramirez said she hoped that Kansas would be able to use the victory to help win future games. "A lot of players were frustrated, and now with this win, a lot of their frustration is gone," Ramirez said. "We're going to build on it and get so much better because our team morale is back up." Senior infielder Alicia Irwin said it wasn't just that Kansas won, but how the team won that would help boost morale. "It it was something we needed, not only to get a victory against a good team, but we played well and everybody was 110 percent into the game," Irwin said. Kansas (17-22, 1-7) will have a chance to build on its first conference victory when it hosts Nebraska (24-7, 3-3) at 5 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark. Nebraska will be the first Big 12 team not ranked in either major softball poll that Kansas will play this season. But coach Megan Smith said that rankings didn't mean much and that Kansas would go in focused to any game it played. "Every team in our conference is a top team, regardless if they are ranked or not," Smith said. "I think when you approach conference teams, you don't look if they're ranked or not, and every time you play a conference team, both teams are going to be out for blood and going to want to win." No matter who is on the field or what the rankings are, every Big 12 team has a chance to win any game, Ramirez said. "I think we have a really solid conference," Ramirez said. "We go into every game thinking we can get beat, and we can beat people." Smith said she felt Kansas was starting to understand her system of breaking down the game as much as possible. "If you buy into that, consistently work hard at it, and stay focused on it, the results will come in the end," Smith said. "Right now it's not about the wins and losses. It's about the performance." Irwin agreed that the team was starting to buy in to Smith's coaching philosophies. "We talked between every pitch and not just every batter," Irwin said. "It was 'What's going on with this pitch', and I think that kept everyone into the game the whole time." After tonight's game against Nebraska, Kansas will have a quick turnaround and play a doubleheader in Omaha, Neb., against Creighton Thursday. Edited by Megan Heacock NEBRASKA VS.

On campus May 6th facebook.com/axe WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks hire new assistant coaches BY ANDREW TAYLOR ataylor@kansan.com Coach Bonnie Henrickson filled out next year's staff Tuesday with the hiring of two new assistant coaches. Verdi Troy Veru and Chester Nichols will join Kansas' staff in the wake of assistant coaches Karen Lange's and Tamika Raymond's departures. Verdi comes to Kansas after contributing to the most successful season in Nebraska women's basketball history. He helped guide the Cornhuskers Nichols to a perfect Big 12 regular season record en route to a 32-2 overall record. Under Verdi's tutelage at Nebraska, redshirt senior forward Kelsey Griffin became one of the most prolific posts in the nation and was named the 2010 Big 12 player of the year. Verdi will continue to coach post players at Kansas, and he has a talented squad to work with. The Jayhawks will return all of their starting forwards and centers next year, including Carolyn Davis, a member of the All-Big 12 rookie team. "I am excited about Tory's skills as both a recruiter and a post coach," Henrickson said in a press release. "He has recruited and developed three All-Big 12 performers at Nebraska, all of which were also WNBA draft picks. In addition, his familiarity with the Big 12 Conference in general will be a huge asset to our program." Nichols will coach perimeter players at Kansas, after having spent one year fulfilling that same position at Central Florida, where he also served as the recruiting coordinator. Before his brief stint at Central Florida, Nichols was an assistant coach for six seasons at West Virginia. He became known for his recruiting prowess there because he helped bring in five separate top 20 recruiting classes. "Chester has seen major success recruiting on a national level," Henrickson said. "He is also an excellent coach who will specialize working with our perimeter players, an area he has also excelled in during his career. With all of our returning talent on the perimeter and our incoming recruiting class of guards, I am looking forward to him joining our program."

Jose Guillen hit his fourth home run in three games as the Royals took a 5-10 lead against the Detroit bullpen. But just like Sunday, when the Tigers fell behind 5-0 to Cleveland, they recovered to win. The Tigers hadn't gotten a runner past first in the first six innings against Kansas City, then rallied against four pitchers. Gerald Laird doubled home Brandon Inge and chased Royals starter Brian Bannister. Scott Sizemore hit Roman Colon's second pitch for a run-scoring double and with two outs, Austin Jackson pulled the Tigers within 5-3 with Detroit's third RBI double in four batters.

This week provides one of the best opportunities to watch a high-level sporting event, as the Jayhawks host dozens of teams at the annual Kansas Relays. SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com The Wave editor Last year, the field of competitors was highlighted by distance runner Alan Webb, who ran the mile in under four minutes to win first place in the event. It is not every day that you have the chance to see someone achieve this feat, and those who witnessed it last year will not forget about it anytime soon. The names of some of the events also add to the atmosphere at the relays, as events such as the Glenn Cunningham Invitational Mile pay tribute to some of the best track and field athletes in Kansas history. This year's field promises to be great once again. Among others, the list of competitors includes Veronica Campbell Brown, a sprinter who won the gold medal in the 200-yard dash at the Olympics in 2004 and 2008, and Nichole Denby, a hurdler who is a former NCAA Champion. Not only does the Kansas Relays attract a field from all over the United States and other countries, but it also gives Kansas athletes the chance to showcase their talents on one of the biggest stages. Senior Lauren Bonds has been running really well so far this season, and she currently holds one of the nation's best times in the 1,500-meter run. On the men's side, senior Jordan Scott is tied for the nation's best finish in the pole vault this season. Both athletes are among several Kansas sprinters, pole vaulters, and throwers who have a chance for a great finish to this season. For 83 years now, the Kansas Relays have given thousands of athletes the opportunity to compete in the presence of some of the all-time greats. Some high school students even get the chance to participate at the relays, which certainly provides them with an unforgettable experience.The Kansas Relays are also a big event for the Lawrence community because the event requires many volunteers to help make it a success. More than anything, the Kansas Relays provide members of the community with a chance to witness history. The event has consistently produced memorable moments and outstanding performances. In 2001, the relays paid tribute to some of the great Kansas athletes who competed at the event, including Jayhawks Billy Mills, Wes Santee, and Jim Ryun. All three athletes made history in their respective events, and they all made it back to Memorial Stadium for the Kansas Relays. Few sporting events on campus consistently produce as many outstanding performances as the Kansas Relays. With the number of athletes participating in each event, the level of competition is always very high and the event's records are frequently challenged. If you get a chance this weekend, make it down to the Kansas Relays. The event starts today and runs through Saturday and features a wide range of track and field events that will keep it interesting for anyone who attends. You might not have another chance to see the same number of great athletes up close as you will at this year's event.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE APRIL 14,2010 + 4 WEEK IN REVIEW TENNIS Kansas faces tough upcoming matches KANSAS The Kansas tennis team is set to finish the regular season with four conference matches at home, where the team has gone 5-3 on the season and 1-1 in conference play. Kansas dropped to 9-10 overall and 1-6 in conference after losses to Missouri and Colorado during the weekend. Freshman Vika Khanevskaya recorded victories in singles for both matches at the No. 6 spot on the team. The No.1 doubles team of sophomores Kate Morozova and Erin Wilbert won their last match against the No. 72-ranked doubles team of Monica Milewski and Ania Anuszkiewicz from Colorado 8-4. The Jayhawks have lost their last four matches, including rivalry losses to Kansas State and Missouri. With six of the conference teams ranked nationally in the top 75 by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, the Jayhawks will face three of the teams in their last four matches of the season including the team atop the rankings. Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Sophomore Erin Wilbert clinches her fist after teammate Ekaterina Morozova won a point at the net. Kansas defeated Iowa State 4-3 overall during a match earlier this season, which marked its 32nd consecutive victory against the Cyclones.

The second varsity eight and the novice eight also notched victories in their races. It was the first time this season that the Jayhawks raced outside the Midwest. The Varsity four boat had previously defeated the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, Kansas State in Kansas City, Kan., and Oklahoma University in Oklahoma City. Their victories this weekend brings The rowing team has the weekend off from competition before the team heads up to St. Paul, Minn., for a head-to-head race against the University of Minnesota.

Then it will be regionals and the NCAA Championship races. the season total for the varsity four boat to five victories. Ethan Padway SOFTBALL Team earns first Big 12 victory against Baylor The Kansas softball team has struggled at the beginning of conference play and lost its first seven games. The team finally got its first Big 12 Conference victory Sunday against Baylor. Kansas currently sits in last place in the Big 12 at 17-22 (1-7). Some of this season's struggles could be because of the difficult schedule Kansas has had to face. All eight games to open conference play have been against ranked opponents in one of the two major polls. Also, six of 10 teams in the Big 12 are currently ranked in the ESPN.com poll. Kansas will have a little more breathing room to end the season, as only two of the remaining five Big 12 series are against ranked teams. Kansas will also have nonconference games Drake, Creighton and Wichita State that the team may be able to use as confidence builders. With only a month left in the regular season, look for Kansas to finish much stronger down the stretch. Kansas will host Nebraska tonight, play a doubleheader at Creighton on Thursday, and then return home for a two-game series against No. 11 Oklahoma State this weekend. -Zach Getz THE WAVE APRIL 14,2010 --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN + BASEBALL RECAP 5 Texas 10 Texas Kansas 10 4 Kansas 4 Jayhawks swept by Longhorns AUSTIN, Texas — After eking out two close victories on Friday and Saturday, No. 6 Texas flexed its offensive muscle against Kansas on Sunday. The Longhorns blasted the Jayhawks 10-4 in the series finale in Austin to sweep the three-game set. After Kansas tied the game 1-1 in the top of the third, Texas wasted little breaking the game open. What initially appeared to be another pitcher's duel in the making turned into a slugfest, as the Longhorns exploded for a six-run third inning against senior Brett Bollman. After Bollman had retired the first two batters in the frame, Texas pieced together five hits — capped off by a grand slam by Kevin Lusson — giving it a commanding 7-1 lead. Kansas fought back with its best offensive showing of the weekend, chipping away for four runs on eight hits, including a solo home run by Tony Thompson in the sixth. Texas tacked on two more runs to extend its lead, but with the way its pitchers were throwing, they didn't need the additional runs. The defict proved too much to overcome for Kansas, despite six different players tallying a hit, including two apiece from sophomore catcher James Stanfield and junior shortstop Brandon Macias.

Founded in 1923 and held at Memorial Stadium, the Kansas Relays have become a staple in the Kansas Track and Field outdoor season. While high school and collegiate athletes from all over the country travel to Lawrence to compete in the four-day event, some of the relays highlights include appearances from Olympic athletes. Since 2005, Olympic athletes, such as Maurice Greene and Marion Jones, have come to the event. When interest in the relays was waning Events begin on Wednesday and continue through the finals on Saturday afternoon. Spectators must purchase a Kansas Relays button to attend. Buttons are $10 for adults and $5 for children, students and seniors. in 2005, then meet director Tim Weaver created the Gold Zone which brought Greene and Jones along with top NCAA athletes to compete in the events. The Gold Zone is a three-hour meet within the actual meet. This addition has bolstered attendance and continued to bring Olympians to Mount Oread. This year is no different, with three Olympic sprinters added to the docket. Two-time Olympian Churandy Martina will be running in the mens invitational 100-meter dash. Martina, a Netherlands Antilles native, is a national record-holder in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. He finished fourth in the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the 100-meter dash, and finished behind Usain Bolt in the 200-meter finals. Martina will debut at 2:45 p.m. on Saturday. The mens 100-meter dash will be followed by the men's invitational 200-meter dash at 3:45 p.m. Antigua and Barbuda native Brendan Christian will highlight the event. The two-time Olympian won gold at the 2007 Pan American Games in the 200-meters. Christian is a former Texas Longhorn runner and holds the school's 100-meter record. He was also a five-time All-American while in college. The most accomplished athlete competing this week will be Veronica Campbell Brown, Campbell, a Jamaica sprinter, is a five-time Olympic medalist and has competed in the last three Olympic games. In the 2004 Athens games, Brown won three medals, including gold in the women's 200-meter dash. She became only the second woman to defend her first-place finish in the 200-yard dash in 2008. Brown will be competing in two Saturday track events: the 200-meter dash will take place at 3:35 p.m., and the 4x400-meter relay will begin at 5:05 p.m. adidas 331 Kansas KANS adidas 125 Kansas KANSAS Weston White KANSAN FILE PHOTO AIR MEN'S GYMNASIUM Jenny Terrell KANSAN FILE PHOTO Left: Freshman long jumper Jamaica Collins leaps to a distance of 5.71 meters.

P Series of the Week Missouri vs. Oklahoma Jeremy Dickie/OKLAHOMA DAILY Although the Sooners had taken the first two games from the Tigers in this series, the third game was the most thrilling of any Big 12 game this past weekend. Things got interesting when Oklahoma seemed to break open the game with a five-run inning in the bottom of the fourth. But in the top of the fifth, Missouri scored eight runs of their own to make the score 10-6. In the top of the eighth, with the score tied at 11, Aaron Senne hit a solo home run to give the Tigers the lead for good. Team of the Week Texas After sweeping the Oklahoma Sooners, the Texas Longhorns have now separated themselves from the pack in the Big 12. They are now four games ahead of the second place Kansas State Wildcats after sweeping Kansas this past Weekend.

THE WAVE APRIL 14,2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 OKLAHOMA SOONERS 9 Sooners pull out 10-4 win against Tigers 38 Jeremy Dickie/OKLAHOMA DAILY Sophomore third baseman Garrett Buechele makes a play to first on a ground ball against South Florida on March 4. The Sooners are 5-4 in Big 12 Conference play and 25-6 overall after a 10-4 win against the Missouri Tigers last Saturday. By Jono Greco Oklahoma Daily — Saturday, April 10 Even though the first few innings Saturday between the No.16 baseball team and the Missouri Tigers were a struggle, Oklahoma slugged its way to a 10-4 victory at L.Dale Mitchell Baseball Park to secure the series victory. The win was the Sooners' (25-6, 5-4) third in a row and came behind a solid all-around performance. Junior pitcher Bobby Shore (5-1, 2.27 ERA) threw a season-high 130 pitches in seven innings of work and allowed two runs, both in the first inning, while striking out six batters. The two runs he gave up came on a home run by Missouri senior right fielder Aaron Senne, who is second in the Big 12 in home runs with nine. The Sooners responded with one run in the first inning, but the game could have gotten out of hand in the top half of the second inning if it were not for junior right fielder Rick Eisenberg. Senne came to the plate in the second with the bases loaded and he drove a 2-2 Shore offering into the right-center field gap. Eisenberg ran over and made a highlightreel, diving catch to end the inning and keep three runs off the scoreboard. Senne's loud out was the turning point of the game in the Sooners' favor, head coach Sunny Golloway said. "I thought it really at a key moment," Gollo way said. "I thought the ballgame could have been on the line early because [Senne is] a terrific hitter. If he gets into a ball or we don't make that catch, they might be scoring from first on that ball (Eisenberg] goes to catch." And he was right because Oklahoma tied the game in the bottom of the second inning on an RBI-bunt single by Eisenberg, and Shore settled down afterward even though he worked his way out of a couple of jams in the third and fourth innings. The series victory at home is a big one for Oklahoma after being swept by Texas on April 1-3in front of season-high crowds at L. Dale Mitchell Baseball Park. NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS Hauptman pitching well for Huskers By Mike Schaefer Daily Nebraskan — Thursday, April 8 Nebraska pitcher Casey Hauptman wasn't always this effective. The tall right-hander is faring much better this season than compared to last year. Midway through Nebraska's schedule, Hauptman has a 3.45 ERA through 44 1/3 innings. That's two full points better than last season's 5.60 ERA, when batters were hitting .302 off of him. Hauptman argues he never would have been as successful in 2010 if he hadn't labored through such a difficult 2009 season. It taught him how to have a short memory. "Last season, I let bad outings bother me a little more than they do now," he said. "I don't worry about it as much. Right now, I take it pitch by pitch." He knows not many people will buy that adage,but he swears by it. "It is a cliché," Hauptman said. "But it is really that simple. Go out there every day and you get three outs to try to not let them score. You've got to simplify everything." Hauptman's not alone in this endeavor. Nebraska coach Mike Anderson said both Hauptman and fellow pitcher Michael Mariot have shown great improvement following a tough 2009 season. "Last year, these guys got thrown into the fire," Anderson said. "That's why they've done what they're done. Last year they struggled, and now they're surviving." Mariot has done more than survive; he's built himself into the team's No. 1 starter and generally has to duel against the aces of other Big 12 rotations. Mariot has nearly dropped his ERA by two full runs as well, getting it down to 5.16 from 7.06 last season. Those numbers could have been even better, but the righty struggled mightily against Oklahoma State, allowing seven earned runs over seven innings.Those earned runs account for nearly a quarter of his total runs allowed. The improvement, he said, comes from forcing himself to think situations through instead of impulsively reacting like he often did in 2009. 12 ASCHIE 22 TOMMYSON 23 ASSOCIATED PRESS Nebraska players celebrate after Cade Thompson (23) scored against Creighton off a single by DJ Belfonte in the third inning in Lincoln, Neb., last Tuesday.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE APRIL 14,2010 10 BIG 12 AM TEXAS A&M AGGIES A&M overwhelmed by Baylor in 13-1 loss By Brad Cox The Battalion — Saturday, April 10 WACO, Texas — Baylor pitcher Logan Verrett struck out 13 Trees A&M batters en route to a 13-1 Bears victory Saturday at Baylor Ballpark. Verrett controlled the game from beginning to end, throwing all nine innings and facing only five batters more than the minimum in the largest margin of victory ever in the series between the two schools. "I just tried to stay down here and stay cool," Verrett said about his time between innings. "I didn't want to get too fired up and waste a lot of energy. It's hard not to when they're putting up numbers like that against a rival like A&M." The Aggie offense struggled to get a read on Verrett, getting just two hits in the first seven innings. A&M coach Rob Childress said they failed to adjust to Verrett's slider. A&M had its biggest inning in the eighth when catcher Kevin Gonzalez hit a one-out double to center field and right fielder Tyler Naquin followed with double to right, scoring pinch runner Matt Juengel and breaking up the shutout. Baylor coach Steve Smith said the difference was that Verrett avoided getting a high pitch count early in the game. Verrett threw 138 pitches total. "The toughest decision I had tonight was whether to let him finish or not," Smith said. "He was so strong at the end — it's just hard to take a guy out of the game like that when he's trying to learn how to finish something." Ross Stripling started on the mound for the Aggies, pitching three shutout innings before the Bears got to him in the fourth. Stripling was hit in the ankle by ground balls twice; once in the second and again in the fourth. Stripling was pulled in the fifth after allowing a lead-off single and a sacrifice bunt. The Aggies fell to 20-9-1 overall and 6-4-1 in Big 12 play while Baylor improved to 18-11 and 4-5 in conference. A&M has not lost a conference series in 2010, splitting a three-game set at Kansas last week 1-1-1. TEXAS A&M 35 Florian Achberger/THE BATTALION Texas A&M pitcher Estevan Uriegas throws a pitch during a game earlier this season. After their loss to the Baylor Bears last Saturday, the Aggies have a record of 6-4-1 in Big 12 Conference play and 20-9-1 overall.

K-State had fared well away from home entering the series, but according to coach Brad Hill, Big 12 road competition is a totally different animal. By Justin Nutter Kansas State Collegian Friday, April 9 MANHATTAN — After struggling through a three-game series in Lubbock, Texas, last weekend, the K-State baseball team has returned to the friendly confines of the Little Apple for a trio of games against Nebraska. "When you get on the road, sometimes it's a scramble," Hill said. "Everybody wants to protect their home turf. Tech came out really aggressively and I don't think we responded very well." Despite ineffective pitching in each game, the Wildcats were able to mount a comeback and win the series finale 10-6. Hill, who is in his seventh season in Manhattan, said he hopes the come-frombehind victory will provide K-State with some momentum as they take the field against the Huskers. "The way we played all weekend, we could have easily cashed our chips in and came home with our tail between our legs, but we didn't do that," he said. "It would be nice if we can come home and play good, solid baseball. Hopefully, the kids are excited to be back home and ready to play." Nebraska, traditionally regarded as a Big 12 powerhouse, has fallen on hard times this season. The Huskers enter the weekend series having lost three of their last four contests. They have been led offensively by senior outfielders Adam Bailey and D.J. Belfonte. Bailey, who was drafted by the Yankees in 2009 but elected to return for his senior season, is second in the conference with a.424 batting average and leads the team with 10 home runs.

THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 2010 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 121 ISSUE 136 Abnormal arms, but ample ability How one student aims to transform disability’s definition BY ADAM SAMSON editor@kansan.com Andreas Brandenberger sets his Boulevard Pale Ale on the table, kicks off his right sandal and clasps the pool cue between the ends of his elbow-length arms. Illuminated by beer signs and the light hanging over the pool table, he carefully applies blue chalk to the cue tip and then sprinkles baby powder between his first two toes. Planting his left foot on the concrete floor and his right foot on the edge of the green felt table, he rests the cue between his powdered toes, pinches the butt end with his arms, aims and then smacks the cue ball into the triangle of balls, scattering all 15 of them. Pool isn’t often a spectator sport at Astro’s, but Andreas draws stares and whispers of onlookers who haven’t seen someone play with his feet. But Andreas, a senior from Baldwin City who will graduate in May, had to find unconventional ways of doing many things. He was born with phocomelia, a rare disorder that left him with no thumbs, wrists or forearms, and two partial hands with only two digits on each. There could be potentially thousands of people in the world with this condition, but as far as Andreas knows, there are no other KU students who have this. In a world designed for people with four fully formed limbs, Andreas has learned to use his feet and shortened arms to send text messages on his iPhone, drive a 1998 Chevrolet pickup with a manual transmission, pick up items with his toes and open door knobs with his foot. He has excelled in soccer, where strong legs are essential and using your hands is banned, and in wrestling, where he developed a tantalizing scissors move with his legs. Those same strong legs will take him through the Campanile and down the hill in May when he will receive a bachelor’s degree in general studies with a concentration in economics. “Everything we take for granted is something he had to adjust to at some point: tying his shoes, driving a car, using utensils,” said Emery Baughan, Andreas’ best friend since elementary school. “He learned with what he had.” SEE ANDREAS ON...

This is ISA's International Awareness Week, the group's biggest event of the semester. Maya Tao, the group's public relations chair, said events like this are valuable because of the international diversity at the University. International students on campus represent 110 countries, according to material provided by International Student and Scholar Services. International students make up around 7 percent of the student body population at the University. "I think it's important because the public can see how rich the KU international community is," said Tao, a junior from Shanghai, China. "It lets them have a big, comprehensive idea of the KU international culture." As part of the week, the group hosted an international fashion show and game night on Wednesday. Sameer Sharma, a senior from Overland Park and the show's emcee, said that the fashion show had been an ISA tradition for more than 10 years. He said events like this were significant because of the influence they could have on the local community.

Man uses python to assault motel guest ROCK HILL, S.C. — Police in South Carolina say an argument between two motel guests ended when one of the men was hit in the head with a snake. Rock Hill police say the victim told officers that he argued Tuesday night with 29-year-old Tony Smith over loud music coming from Smith's room. The dispute appeared to be over, but the man told police Smith walked up to him several hours later with a 4-foot python and hit him in the face with the snake's head. Smith was charged with assault and battery. He remains in the Rock Hill jail on a nearly $1,100 bond and jail officials did not know if he had an attorney. Suspect tries to bite off his fingerprints MIDDELTOWN, N.J. — Authorities said a man who escaped from a police car in New Jersey tried to gnaw off his fingerprints. Police captured Keith Simmonds Jr. in Middletown on Monday. Authorities said the 21-year-old's fingertips were bloodied. Police arrested Simmonds on drug charges after officers stopped them and said they found marijuana on Sunday night. Police said Simmonds managed to move his handcuffed arms to the front of his body, kick out the side window of the patrol car and escape while officers used a drug-detection dog to search his car. Simmonds was being held in the Monmouth County jail on $135,000 bail. Baked potato is poor disguise for cocaine ATHENS, Ala. — Limestone County authorities have arrested a man they said tried to disguise five ounts of cocaine as a baked potato. Sheriff's Lt. Lance Royals said they got a tip Monday afternoon that a man in a silver Mustang had cocaine. When investigators approached the man, he said he had nothing illegal. Investigators searched the car and found a carryout plate with chicken, rice and what looked like a foil-wrapped potato. The foil contained five ounces of cocaine. The man was being held without bail on the trafficking charge and on $2,500 bail on a charge of giving a false name.

"Events like this allow us to learn to be receptive of other cultures." The goal of ISA is not just to give attendees a glimpse of a variety of cultures,but to create an authentic, educational and interactive experience. Today is what will probably be the group's biggest event the World Expo. During this event, participants will be able to visit booths from more than 30 different countries. These booths allow students to experience different aspects of the cultures. "At the World Expo, you can see not only the clothing, but also the games, culture and music of many different cultures," said Alexandra Avila, a senior from Wichita and president of ISA. Avila got involved with the group because of her older brother's involvement with ISA when he was a KU student. She said that the group not only gave international students the opportunity to embrace their own heritage, but also to learn about other cultures from all over the world.

TECHNOLOGY Txt lingo creeping n2 formal writing MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE College professors are anything but LOL-ing at their students' recent writing habits. Not only are instructors not laughing out loud — shortened to LOL in text messages and online chats — at the technology-oriented shorthand that has seeped into academic papers, many of them also sternly telling students to stop using the new language even in less formal writing. The shorthand often consist of shortened variations of common words — "u" instead of you, or "ur" for your. Text speak may be appropriate for a quick note to a friend, but professors are increasingly stymied by how casually students are using the terms. Faculty members increasingly have expressed irritation about reading acronyms and abbreviations they often do not understand, said Sally Murphy, a Cal State East Bay professor and director of the university's general-education program. One e-mail to a professor started with, "Yo, teach," she said. "It has a real effect on the tone of professionalism," said Murphy, who also has seen younger instructors use the shorthand. "We tell them very specifically how this is going to affect in life. It's kind of like wearing their jeans below their butt. They're going to lose all credibility." Text-speak has been moving through the educational pipeline toward colleges for a few years. A 2008 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that two-thirds of middle- and high-school students had accidentally used instant-messaging-style words in their work, while a quarter admitted using emoticons in assignments. Many students communicate constantly via text and instant messaging, so it can be difficult to leave the tech lingo behind in class, said Mohammed Shahid Beig, a senior and student-body president at Cal State East Bay. "When we sit down to do something formal, it's hard to switch to that way of thinking," said Shahid Beig, who grew up in India speaking to teachers in the most formal tones. "We don't even recognize it. I'm pretty sure that it has never happened to me, but I might have done it without knowing." The phenomenon appears to be widespread. Instructors at Sonoma State, Holy Names and San Francisco State universities have grumbled about text-speak showing up in assignments.

From the time he was adopted and brought to Kansas from his native Greece to college graduation, Andreas can say that he has never been given a free ticket in life, except when he was adopted by a family with five children and embarked on life in America. Twenty years ago, Chris and Bill Brandenberger traveled nearly 6,000 miles across the Atlantic to Athens, Greece, where they signed paperwork for their sixth child, Andreas. Before leaving for Greece, they carefully chose toys to bring that would not frustrate a 2-year-old boy who had no hands. When they first saw Andreas, he was sitting on the floor neatly stacking pop bottle caps, one on top of the other. Chris and Bill looked at each other in awe. "To see that little guy with no arms stacking bottle caps at that age, it was amazing." Chris recalled. That suitcase full of toys they had carefully selected for Andreas was given away the next day to other families who were adopting babies. Bill, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, told his wife they should never tell him about the toys because they knew he could handle more complex toys. They got to know Andreas by taking him outside and walking around the beautiful trees and pathways that surrounded the orphanage. Bill would buy Andreas pop and ice cream from the shop across the street. Their first thought was that they could all share one pop because the 2-year-old couldn't handle a whole one. "Boy, I'll tell you, he had that pop can, and he wasn't sharing that pop with anybody," Chris said. "He could hold onto that pop while getting into a stroller with very little help, not spilling a drop." --effort on our part." Growing up in his new home in Baldwin City with five other children, Andreas' phocoemia didn't play a role in how his siblings treated him. If he asked his brothers to get a glass out of the cupboard for him, they would point to a chair and tell him to climb onto it and get it himself. "We definitely didn't cut him any breaks," his brother Joe said. "There was never really a discussion about that, and we treated him as if there was nothing different about him." Amanda, Andreas' sister who is closest in age to him, said that family and friends never considered him to be physically disabled or to have a handicap. After waking up, Andreas begins his daily routine by brushing his teeth. Andreas has had to discover unconventional ways of completing everyday tasks Andreas never contemplated it either. "I joke with my friends that I am 'handi-capable'," Andreas said. "There are too many fun things out there that I want to do, and there is no way in hell that I am going to let something like a 'handicap' slow me down." His parents took the same approach. "I think kids need to have their bumps and get up on their own," Bill said. "He tended to do that on his own, so it didn't require much Chris recalls one time when she had M&Ms for the kids, and they all came running into the room with their hands cupped to get their share. Dumping handfuls of the chocolate candies into each child's hands, she went right down the line. When she got to Andreas, M&Ms scattered all over the floor. While his siblings laughed at their mother, Chris immediately said, "Ooh wow, I think you need a cup, Andreas." Phocomelia is rare enough that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center don't have compiled data on those living with the condition. Researchers thought phocomelia was possibly caused by thalidomide, a drug that was prescribed in the 1960s to treat anxiety and morning sickness in pregnant women. It was mostly given to women who lived outside of the United States. Because Andreas is adopted, his family does not know the direct cause of his phocelia. WALL STOOP As Joe recalled, "We had a banister over the stairway in our treestory Victorian-style home, and at one point in time, Will and I got one leg each, and we were hanging him over the balcony." Living in a family with five siblings who are all older than him, Andreas couldn't hide from the tough love or pranks siblings play. They still tease him to this day by threatening they'll shake him down for his school lunch money. While Chris and Bill were inside the house brainstorming how to tweak the handlebars of Andreas' new bicycle to make it easier to ride, his oldest brother Will had other ideas. He knew it was time to put Andreas on a bicycle and push him down the driveway, as Will screamed, "Pedal, brother, pedall" Andreas did. It didn't stop there. From then on, the Brandenbergers knew Andreas would always do more than they expected. "Maybe the bicycle incident was the big awakening for us where we realized he would always be two steps ahead of us," Chris said. Andreas was a master of his own fate. Life was in his own hands, such as they were or weren't. Family and close friends of Andreas understood. His best friend Emery Baughan explained, "If you put limits on what someone can do, then they can never show their full ability, and they are shackled by others' perceptions." The teachers in Baldwin City learned to take a step back and let him run his own show. He might have asked for extra time to write so that his muscles didn't cramp from In elementary school, one of his teachers realized that the arduous writing exercise of a young and determined Andreas would run into recess. She quietly patted him on the shoulder and let him know that if he did half of his sentences, she would be satisfied and that he could go out to recess with his classmates. Andreas turned, looked up and said, "I will do what the other children do," and continued squeezing his pencil tightly, guiding it across the 1ined paper. squeezing the pencil, but his physical limitations never hampered his learning. He didn't need more one-on-one attention to study, but physically things sometimes took a bit longer for Andreas. For his own reassurance, his friend Emery was placed in every one of Andreas' classes until junior high. Emery was his security blanket. --drop to the mat. Something that sounds so trivial as learning to tie your shoeslaces is a landmark of development for children. Andreas was well into elementary school before he learned how. "Everyone always did it for me, and I kind of accepted it," Andreas said. It didn't come as easy for Andreas with his athletic shoes, but it is second nature to him now. Another milestone was getting dressed without help. Andreas was at a disadvantage when he wore jeans because without thumbs, zippers and buttons were difficult to grab. Amanda remembers sitting in church and watching Andreas dig through his pocket for quarters, dimes and pennies, thinking that it must be really difficult. "His greatest handicap is in the eye of the beholder," Chris said about her son. "We had a lot of people tell us that down the line when he was a teenager, things would really be bad for him, but he has made a liar out of anybody whoever tried to predict anything." It was Chris' natural instinct to stand by her child and hope that his strength of character would allow him to move forward in spite of his condition. She would have given anything, including one of her own arms, to erase his "handicap" and sometimes his struggles hurt, but she knew she couldn't coddle him. "We wanted him to stand as tall as he could and be a man and not have to look to see if there was someone to lean on." Chris said. "Certainly anybody who knows Andreas can say that he certainly stands tall. He made his own way in the world." "No matter if you're 10 feet tall, if you're 2 feet tall, if you're fat, if you're skinny, they are going to ask you a question, and I just happen to have something that is different from most kids." Andreas said. Andreas remembers kids making fun of him, but he tried to ignore them, not because they were bad, but because every kid gets made fun of at some point in his life. His arms just made him an easier target. Amanda recalls family vacations to the Grand Canyon, Wyoming and Mesa Verde when children would just stand and stare at her brother. While some teased him, others were simply curious and asked blunt questions about his shortened arms and four fingers. "I would start to feel a sense or relief when the parents would come over and, I thought, to get the child, but oftentimes the parents would just come stand and stare as well." Amanda said. --- It was hard to keep Andreas away from a soccer ball. Beginning in elementary school, soccer became Andreas' favorite sport. His feet and legs were as good as his teammates on the soccer field. Emery and Andreas played soccer together until they parted ways for college, and one memory stands out for Andreas: the time he was called for a hand ball in high school. As Andreas recalled, "Emery went off on the ref and said, 'How the fuck is that a hand ball? He doesn't even have hands.' I knew he wasn't being mean. He was just arguing the fact that we didn't want to lose possession of the ball. He ended up getting a yellow card for arguing, which I thought was quite amusing." Some referees wouldn't call it because they weren't sure how to approach calling a hand ball on a player who didn't have hands. But this time, as the ball grazed his arm, a referee made the call. Just as it is at any high school, sports are important for boys at Baldwin High School, and Andreas struggled to find his place in football and basketball, the major sports. Kit Harris, Baldwin's wrestling coach, noticed Andreas' athletic ability in a physical education class and decided to reach out to him and his parents. He had seen wrestlers with physical disabilities who found a way to compete, such as Earl lones, a three-time Kansas high school state champion, who wrestled although he had just one leg. Joe. Andreas' older brother, wrestled in high school, but he was apprehensive about his brother trying out the sport. It would be tough for Andreas because he wouldn't have as much leverage as opponents. Many wrestlers grab onto elbows, arms and wrists for their moves. How could Andreas grip without two hands and 10 fingers? Joe feared his little brother would fail. Andreas was out to prove that he could succeed. Instead of failing because of what he didn't have, he succeeded because of what he did have — strong legs. Enter his signature move; the scissor hold. The goal in wrestling is to control the opponent and turn him on his back. All Andreas had to use was his legs. Opponents knew the scissors were coming, and so did the cheering Baldwin crowd. They would shout, "Get the scissors on him! Get the scissors on him! SQUEEEEEZ! SQUEEEEEZ!" Andreas would lock his legs around his opponent's waist, squeeze the air out of him, and if he executed it correctly, his opponent's shoulders would "Referees would sometimes stop the match because he would make you turn blue in the face," Kit said. His other asset was his ability to wiggle free and escape. "I kept myself busy doing what I knew how to do." Andreas said. "And that was basically how to get away from your older brothers and figuring out how to not get pinned down." In two years of varsity wrestling at Baldwin, he was pinned only once. Before wrestling, Andreas was reluctant to show his short arms and kept them covered with his shirt sleeves in public. In the wrestling ring, his arms were fully exposed for the crowd to see. "If you can be comfortable with yourself in a purple singlet, then you can be comfortable wearing just about anything," Andreas said. People sometimes ask Andreas how he drives a manual transmission with his physical "disability". His answer: "Can you put one foot in front of the other?" RAMENTO Contributed photo Bill Brandenberger adopted Andreas when he was 2 years old from a Grecian orphanage. Andreas said he has succeeded in academics, athletics and life because both parents encouraged individuality and freethinking for their children. --- pho·co·me·li·a Definition: Phocomelia is a rare birth disorder that causes severe birth defects, especially of the upper limbs. People with phocomelia will often experience missing thigh bones, and hands or feet will be extremely small or look like stumps. In extreme cases, the fingers of the hands can be fused. Bones of arms and other appendages can be extremely shortened or absent. Andreas' Case: Because Andreas is adopted, his family does not know the direct cause of his phocomelia. Causes: ■ Researchers think phocomelia is genetically transmitted as a recessive trait or is the result of spontaneous changes in a gene. ■ The signs of phocomelia closely mimic the signs caused by the ingestion of thalidomide, a drug prescribed to treat anxiety, insomnia and morning sickness in pregnant women. ■ In the 1960s, about 10,000 children around the world were born with major malformations because their mothers had taken the thalidomide early in their pregnancies.

While he was learning to drive a manual, he killed the engine a few times, but he learned fast. When he got his driver's license, the state wanted to put a provision on his license requiring an annual checkup. When the state officials saw phocomelia on his application, they thought it was a disease that would get worse over time. "Everybody is going to change over time, but my condition is not going to get worse," Andreas said. --qualified candidate. But then came the face-to-face interviews, and he had exactly what employers were looking for, except for a "normal" handshake. Applying for jobs frustrated Andreas. "Why can't I be Andreas Brandenberger, period?" he said. "For me, I have this asterisk next to my name — Andreas Brandenberger, physically disabled." As a teenager looking for work, he filled out numerous applications. Over the phone, he sounded like a "In reality, employers say they don't discriminate against race, gender or physical disability," Andreas said. "It's all good and dandy in theory because by law you're not supposed to, but it happens unfortunately." Andrea said he wouldn't apply for a job that he knew he couldnt perform. Jim Lewis, president of Checkers grocery store, put aside Andreas' "limitations" and gave him his first shot at employment at age 17. Andreas assisted shoppers to their cars with groceries and was later moved inside to stock shelves. At the University, Andreas got his foot in the door at Kansas Athletics by working summer basketball camps. Brett Ballard, former director of basketball operations, said Andreas adapted to any situation thrown at him on the court and never missed a beat. It took the coaches just 10 minutes to understand that he was capable. "We wanted to allow him a chance to prove himself," Ballard said. "There was slight hesitation from us just to make sure he was comfortable with everything, but he didn't use his physical disability as any type of an excuse." Currently, he is a student manager for the KU soccer team, where he makes copies, does paperwork in the offseason, makes sure practice runs smoothly and handles equipment during the season. Andreas played on the men's club soccer team his freshman and sophomore years. He still gets his soccer fix as the student manager, jumping in as an extra if the women's team is short a player in practice. His love for soccer and knowledge of the sport makes setting up equipment and breaking it down after practice nothing like work. During his sophomore year at the University, Andreas decided he would head to Snow Creek Ski Resort in Missouri and try snowboarding with his roommate, Dylan Hay, a senior from Baldwin City. In his first attempt at snowboarding, he strapped in and went down the hill. --cutting with a knife. Andreas' handshake I am very happy to be with you. Weston White/KANSAN Jim Argans, a junior from Chicago, shakes hands with Andreas Brandenberger, a senior from Baldwin City, before an indoor soccer class Tuesday afternoon at Robinson Gymnasium. When meeting people for the first time, Andreas will often stick out his hand, and when the other person should stick his hand out in return, that person stutters, looks at Andreas' hand and wonders what to do. With Andreas' limitations, he can't grab the person's hand and shake, but he is fully capable of sticking his hand out and going through the shaking motion while the person grabs his hand. Every now and again, strangers will think that they need to greet Andreas with a first bump instead of a handshake. "It its frustrating at times," Andreas said, "Obviously if I can shake your hand, why would I stick my hand out there?" "A couple [situations] that are irritating are grabbing the tips of my fingers real gingerly, like they are picking something up that is real fragile," Andreas said. "The other is people grabbing my elbow or arm and not my hand." Handshakes can be a complete view into the personality of the person on the other end of the handshake. "That is my invitation," Andreas said. "I'm going to make eye contact and do everything else you're supposed to in a handshake." On the second run, he fell and broke his right arm in the same area he had broken it in high school gym class. That didn't end his interest in snowboarding. During spring break last month, he headed to the real mountains of Winter Park, Colo., to hit the slopes again. Whether it was improved balance or more caution, Andreas came away from snowboarding unscathed. "By no means have I experienced everything, there is to experience in the world, but there aren't too many things that I come across that I don't know what to do." Andreas said. --cutting with a knife. Although he may have perfected his scissor hold in wrestling, he still has not figured out how to operate scissors. He can use scissors, but the lines aren't always cut straight. "As unfortunate as it is, they are not made for my hands," Andreas said. "Scissors and I just don't get along very well." One hurdle in Andreas' social life is that he has yet to completely jump into the dating scene. Without full arms, he wonders if girls are comfortable dating someone with a "disability." "If I went out on a date, I would go for finger food or pasta where I could eat it with just a fork," Andreas said. "And for the longest time, I wouldn't order steak because I couldn't cut it very easily." "I think the main problem was me over-thinking it, asking myself, 'What are they going to think about me asking for them to cut it?' Andreas said. Andreas' former girlfriend Emily suggested that Andreas just ask the restaurant to cut it for him. Now, he asks the chef to cut meat into smaller pieces before bringing the meal out to him. With his outgoing personality, he has no problem approaching and talking to women in a bar. "For me, I can't just grow arms and maybe that is the one factor that limits me from dating." Andreas said. When he graduates in May, he doesn't want to be remembered as the guy with phocoelia. Rather, he wants to be remembered as an outgoing college student with a sharp wit who enjoys soccer, snowboarding, hanging out with friends and beating them at pool by dropping the 8-ball in the corner pocket. — Joe Preiner, a 2009 graduate and former Kansan reporter, provided both ideas and inspiration for this story. "I've told countless people that other than getting the quality education and meeting tons of people, walking through the Campanile and down the hill will be iceing on the cake for the whole college experience," Andreas said. Although he spent parts of his adolescent life hiding from it, Andreas has learned to embrace his phocomelia. be his friend," Amanda said. Ask Andreas about what he has accomplished in his 23 years, and he prefers to talk about the one thing he still hasn't done — walk down the hill for graduation. "There is no remedy or magical pill that I can take. I'm not going to wear a sign that says 'I have phomelia', but I'm not going to hide it." --- 2 5 Edited by Lauren Keith 1.

TELEVISION Conan to shift TBS' Lopez to network's midnight slot MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — George Lopez wants everyone to know he has not been "Leno-ed." Unlike the bitter acrimony that enveloped late night television earlier this year as Jay Leno reclaimed his old seat as host of NBCs "Tonight Show", Lopez welcomed Conan O'Brien to the cable channel, which in a surprise move announced Monday that O'Brien will launch his own late night program for them in November. In an ironic turn, O'Brien's arrival to the cable channel's late night lineup means that Lopez has to push his still nascent 10 p.m. show "Lopez Tonight" to midnight. It was only less than three months ago that O'Brien was dropped from NBC altogether after he refused to move his show to a later time to accommodate Leno. "I don't feel like I'm moving for the 'red man," Lopez said, laughing during a phone interview on Tuesday with the Los Angeles Times. Since departing from NBC, most media outlets predicted O'Brien would land at Fox, the only major network without a weeknight talk show. But Steven Koonim, president of Turner Entertainment Networks, was undeterred by the speculation and pursued Conan — making sure to include Lopez in the process. Last Wednesday, Koonin flew to Burbank to meet with Lopez and told the comedian if the deal was going to happen, it needed to be quick and with his support. but good for my business between now and November, and when Conan gets there and into the future." Lopez said the plan made sense to him. Between O'Brien's appeal to a young audience and Lopez's momentum, he saw a win-win situation. "I'm in the George Lopez business." Lopez said. "I believe that Conan O'Brien coming to TBS is good for my business. And not only good for my business in November, "I thought that since I already have a younger demographic, with a smaller audience — I've only been on five months — it would be a perfect match," Lopez said. Koonin asked Lopez to speak to O'Brien. The two comedians spoke last Wednesday afternoon and again on Sunday. Lopez told O'Brien that TBS would be a great venue for him and that he wouldn't have to worry about interference from studios or affiliates. Moving his show to midnight doesn't concern Lopez because he's seen David Letterman, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel succeed at that hour or later.

CAMPUS LIFE How KU students' protests have continued to evolve Students had the opportunity to see a fairly uncommon scene on our campus last Friday: an old-fashioned protest. On the last day of Pride Week, members of Fred Phelps' group, which protests military funerals and gay pride events, came to campus to protest as per their usual methods of distasteful posters. But, that wasn't the big news. What was unique about Friday's events was the rally outside the Kansas Union opposing Phelps' group. This rally drew about 300 people, according to a report in The University Daily Kansan, and as a member of the crowd, I can attest that there was a high volume of support for Pride Week. I went to observe the scene and to see if there would be any kind of scuffling between students and the Phelpsians. There wasn't, thankfully, but the whole time I was struck by the rarity of the event. What I was witnessing, and what those students were participating in, was a large, organized, picket-style protest. It reminded me of photos of marches and rallies at the University during the 1960s and '70s. Some of the issues that drove students to protest in large numbers in the past are now non-issues, such as the draft. Others, such as civil rights — both for minorities and women — remain pertinent, but the manner in which these causes promote themselves has changed. 18 Hawk Life BY JONATHAN SHORMAN jshorman@kansan.com The nature of activism has evolved during the past decades. Now, it is common to see multiple tables set up on Wescoe Beach where people try to promote various causes, whether religious, charitable, political or otherwise. There may even be a couple of groups handing out flyers to students as they walk by, which, by the way, I can't stand — but that's beside the point. The point is that we as students seem to take a greater interest in a variety of causes than students in the past. The focus is no longer on only war and minority rights; it's on everything from sex trafficking to the environment to sweatshop labor. With increased interest in diverse causes, it only makes sense that there just isn't enough energy to generate large sign-waving, chanting crowds to protest for every issue. Because of this, causes have become more subtle and passive about spreading their message. Students have come to expect tabling and pamphlets and sidewalk chalking. That is why we pay extra attention when there actually is an organized, large-scale event. Take as another example the opinions generated when the abortion display comes to Strong Hall during the fall. Although large group protests can be effective and although I support the right to protest, I'm not entirely sad we've moved past regular picket-style protesting. Too often this style of protest can actually harm a group's message and lead to views of a cause that a group probably doesn't want. Take the Tea Party protesters, for example. Concerns about taxes and government is often overshadowed by inflammatory signs at their rallies with the purpose to offend or with a message that can easily be misconstrued. This movement would probably be taken much more seriously if it produced well-crafted literature and websites. But in some cases, large protests can work. Friday's counterprotest did divert attention away from the extremists and the counterprotest became the primary story. Whether effective or not, last Friday's protest was a good reminder that activism isn't purely a thing of the past, hidden in the pages of history books. Rather, it is alive and well.

BUT ELIMINATING THAT MOON ROCKET ALSO KEEPS OUR FEET ON EARTH AS WELL... NICHOLAS SAMBALUK GUEST COLUMN Money an alternative to Advil? We are warned from childhood that money is the root of all evil,but a new University of Minnesota study might overturn this conclusion. Research by Kathleen Vohs, associate professor of marketing at Carlson School of Management, suggests cash can reduce pain. The study suggests that people who physically handle money are less susceptible to both physical and emotional pain. In the experiment, a control group was given plain paper to count, while a second group was handed a stack of paper money to rifle through. Shortly afterward, participants were asked to stick their hands into scalding hot water. Pain ratings from the cash counters were found to be radically lower than those of the control group. Interestingly, the subjects of Vohs' study did not have any expectation of keeping the money, so it could be assumed that the very presence of cash causes our pain threshold to increase. This realization introduces some troubling questions. Is this just another result of our ever-developing market economy, a world in which society has become increasingly dependent on material goods? Is our reliance on riches and the modern advances they impart an unhealthy alternative to social interaction? "These effects speak to the power of money, even as a "People want money more and are soothed by it when they are not experiencing deeper need satisfaction, but the satisfaction of money is superficial and is not enduring," said University of Rochester psychologist Edward Deci. The influence of a hint of affluence has on the human psyche is undeniable, but it may not be substantially life altering. This notion is called the Easterlin paradox, which is founded on the idea that after basic needs are met, increased earnings do not have a profound effect on happiness. Recently, this concept has been challenged by two researchers at the University of Pennsylvania who point to 2008 Gallup Poll results as evidence. According to the poll, citizens residing in countries with a higher GDP per capita consistently report higher levels of life satisfaction. Of course, personal and national economic growth can be fulfilling for deeper reasons, and most have to do with witnessing the result of hard work and effort over time Money can reduce pain, but does money itself buy happiness? As long as studies are published by economists and psychologists alike, there will be conflicting opinions. It may put a smile on your face for a moment, but it certainly isn't a permanent mood boost. After taking into account all the research and reports, all the graphs and polls and surveys, the best insight may in fact come from the late Irish comedian Spike Milligan: "Money can't buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery" Sometimes, that's all you can ask for. — UWire. Maureen Landsverk for the Minnesota Daily at the University of Minnesota. FASHION In first impressions put best shoe first Everyone learns in grade school not to judge a book by its cover, or, in other words, not to judge people by what they look like. Nonetheless, when we see a person for the first time, it's nearly impossible to keep from making assumptions based on what he or she looks like. This is why — for better or worse — it's important to keep in mind that how we dress says a lot about who we are. A successful outfit is not complete without a proper corresponding pair of shoes. Making the wrong footwear choice can completely throw off and ruin an outfit. When I assess someone's outfit, I do a quick check of what she's wearing, and then go straight for the shoes. To me, shoes are like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. — If The Shoe Fits: Because the pair of shoes you choose to wear can reveal a lot about your personality, be sure to pick a pair that says something positive. If you have a bubbly personality, wear a bright, colorful pair of flats. If you're sporty, try a fun pair of Keds. If you love to paint, buy a pair of white canvas shoes and make your own masterpiece. It seems that some types of shoes are defining characteristics among groups. For example, if you're in a frat or sorority, it's assumed that you wear Sperrys. Or, if you own a pair of Toms, people may think you're a charitable person. The shoe-stereotype connection continues: Rockers wear Converse, hippies wear Birkenstocks, and promiscuous girls wear Uggs (I don't know why, since they're not sexy at all). The Hemline When you choose shoes, make sure they say the right thing about you, but don't let shoe stereotypes keep you from wearing what you want. If you choose a pair you love, it most likely fits your who you are. Y BY ALEX ESPOSITO info@kansan.com Footwear Faux Pas: When spending a lot of money on shoes, don't fall for trendy, outrageous footwear that won't be in style for very long. Spend more on classic, simple styles, such as loafers or ballet flats, which have been considered fashionable for decades. Nothing says, "I don't care" better than a pair of dirty, worn out shoes. Instead of throwing on a pair of tattered Old Navy flip flops, consider investing in a nice, sturdy pair of well-made leather sandals that will last a long time. If you can't afford to splurge, buy some sandals made from plastic leather instead. No one will know the difference, and you'll look just as put together. Sneakers belong in the gym. Yes, they're comfortable, but unless you're working up a sweat you shouldn't wear them. Finally, it's no longer necessary to match your shoes, purse and belt, but it's important that they're in the same color family. For example, a black belt clashes with brown shoes,but a light brown purse can be worn with dark brown shoes, as long as the different shades complement each other. Don't get lost in the sea of boring footwear. Stand out by choosing a fun, original pair of shoes that is as unique as you are. If people are going to guess who you are based on what you're wearing, let them know with your shoes. Esposito is a sophomore from Overland Park in film and media studies and journalism. One student sets good example in countering protests LETTER TO THE EDITOR We've all probably heard the old saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." That's just what KU students did last week when Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest the Brown Bag Drag Show during Pride Week at the University. One student in particular went the extra mile: Daniel Held. It was really inspiring to hear that he organized a fundraiser during the counterprotest of the Phelps group to raise funds for Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri. Daniel showed us something we sometimes need to be reminded of; One person can make a difference. The thousand-plus dollars he helped generate will help Planned Parenthood continue to provide affordable, high quality reproductive healthcare in the Lawrence area. Many thanks to Daniel and his fellow KU students for not only turning something negative into something positive, but also for raising awareness about the work Planned Parenthood does.

NEWS / THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM CARYL BURTON Jerry Wang/KANSAN Peggy Keefe, lab manager for the biomaterials and tissue engineering lab, works to isolate stem cells from umbilical cords. Stem cells are placed on the microsphere scaffold to see how the cells respond to it. The scaffold helps regenerate cartilage and bone tissue. Jerry Wang/KANSAN Michael Detamore, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, was part of a team that received a S1.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue their research on treating degenerated cartilage. The grant funds two graduate assistants for five years and provides the research team with resources to progress towards clinical trials for human patients. Syed Jamial, a graduate student, looks through a microscope at the Tissue Engineering Lab. The lab's work, seeking to minimize the invasiveness of knee surgeries with a new, small scaffold, recently earned them a $1.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. M. R. H. SMITH CAMPUS Team seeks easier knee surgeries Jerry Wang/KANSAN BY SAMANTHA FOSTER sfoster@kansan.com Some people with damaged cartilage in their knees would often rather live with the pain than endure a major knee replacement surgery. But researchers in the School of Engineering have found an alternative to surgery that doesn't involve taking the knee apart and produces a more natural transition from bone to cartilage. Michael Detamore, associate professor of engineering, said many people chose not to have knee replacement surgery because they couldn't afford it or were afraid of it. "They chop off the ends of the bones and cartilage and put these plastic and metal pieces into your knee, so it's a pretty severe type of surgery," Detamore said. Detamore and a team of almost 20 post-doctoral, graduate and undergraduate students who work in the Tissue Engineering Lab in Learned Hall have been working on a micropheric scaffold, or a tiny round plug, that carries proteins that promote bone and cartilage regeneration and decomposes inside the body as the tissue heals. Detamore said making these scaffolds required a delicate balance of temperature, pressure and concentration to regenerate tissue. He said the researchers want damaged through an injury or a localized area of damaged cartilage. He said surgeons could take out injured tissue and put the scaffold in its place. Surgery to implant a scaffold would be less invasive "People you know could benefit from this. It could affect your future." ed to find a way to engineer these gradients to help tissue regenerate. NATHAN DORMEI Topeka graduate studen This meant they needed to find a way to mimic the seamless way healthy bone cartilage transitions into bone instead of using the connecting material used in knee replacements today. Detamore said the scaffold would be a solution for people with early stage osteoarthritis, cartilage because the scaffold is only about 4 millimeters in diameter and 5 millimeters long — about the size of a pea — so a patient would need only a few days to recover. "That's another real advantage." Detamore said. "You go in with a scope and just have a few stitches, and you're back on your feet in a short amount of time." One of the problems with knee replacement surgery, Detamore said, is that the prosthetic used today prevents cartilage from mixing with bone, which is not how the knee joint works naturally. The scaffold created in Detamore's lab mimics the healthy tissue because its properties allow bone and cartilage to mix. Detamore said there were ways to transport these cartilage tissue cells that were currently on the market, but nothing was similar to what his team is working on. "There's nothing like this where you have a porous, biodegradable material that's simultaneously going to promote both bone and cartilage regeneration," Detamore said. Nathan Dormer, a doctoral student from Topeka, has worked in the Tissue Engineering Lab for three years. He said the team's research on cartilage regeneration was important to him because he has family members with arthritis. "People you know could benefit from this;" Dormer said. "It could affect your future." The team is working with the Institute for Advancing Medical Innovation, a campus organization that helps to take research to the commercial market. If the IAMI can find investors for the Tissue Engineering lab, the scaffold could be ready for clinical testing in five years. In the meantime, the researchers run several types of tests on the scaffold, including in vitro testing using stem cells. The stem cells typically are cord tissue cells from donated umbilical cords, which come from Lawrence Memorial Hospital, or bone marrow from rats, rabbits or purchased human cells. Detamore said the researchers published their first paper on umbilical cord cells in musculoskeletal engineering in 2007 although their use in this kind of bioengineering is still relatively new. "It's something that's really taking off now, and it's good to be at the forefront of that," Detamore said.

Sgt. Gary Stein said he was asked by his superiors to review the Pentagon's directive on political activities after he criticized Obama's health care reform efforts and then was asked this week to talk about his views on the MSNBC cable TV channel. Stein said his supervisor told him of his right to an attorney about the matter. He said he decided to close his Facebook page and review his military code obligations. He also contacted private attorneys who told him he had done nothing wrong. "There's this illusion that when we sign our contract and voluntarily commit, that we lose our right to speak out," Stein told the San Diego Union-Tribune in a story published Wednesday. "There's this illusion that when we sign our contract ... we lose our right to speak out." visor was concerned that his activities could give the appearance or impression that the Marine Corps is endorsing the group and its messages." Stein, 24, a meteorologist for the base's 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, said it was irie over Obama's health care reform efforts that pushed him to launch the Facebook page, "Armed Forces Tea Party Patriots," three weeks ago. The tea party is a grass-roots political phenomenon that supports lower taxes and less government involvement. It formed in part as a reaction to public bailouts of the banking and automotive industries. The recently passed health care law is another popular target of the movement. The local American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement Wednesday that it had sent a letter to Camp Pendleton's commanding officer urging the Marine Corps to protect Stein's right to freedom of speech. SGT. GARY STEIN Marine Camp Pendleton spokeswoman Maj. Gabrielle Chapin said the Marine Corps was not considering filing charges and simply wanted him to be aware of the rules so he did not break them. The Pentagon's directive states that military personnel are not allowed to write anything to solicit votes for a political cause, sponsor a political club or speak before any gathering that promotes a political movement. "Marines take care of Marines," Chapin wrote in an e-mail. "Sergeant Stein's super- Stein, who lives in Temecula with his wife and their 2-year-old daughter, said he had not commented on military matters on any social-network site. News of the military's response to his comments sparked an intense debate among Stein's more than 400 Facebook "fans" about whether troops have the right to speak out about the policies of their commander in chief. Former Marine Corps attorney Patrick Callahan, who now specializes in military law as a civilian lawyer in Texas, said the Pentagon's directive was aimed at preventing military members from appearing as if they are trying to thwart the public process or plot a coup. "There are restrictions on time, place and manner. For instance, service members can't go to political rallies in uniform." Callahan said. But he added: "I have never seen the military go after a junior service member for making disparaging remarks about any politician." SPECIAL OFFER Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Sarah Phillips, a graduate student from Overland Park, runs down Jayhawk Boulevard Thursday. "I am training for a half marathon, so I am basically running every day," Phillips said. "I work for KU Endowment and during my lunch break I for a run." Phillips said she killed on RUNning because there was a good variety of hills and flat areas. RUNNING (CONTINUED FROM 1A) also noticed the increase in runners this spring. Johnson said running had become a bit of a fad on her floor of GSP Hall because everyone's trying to lose weight. "I don't want to gain the freshman 15." Johnson said. Johnson also said that she used running as a stress reliever and that she was a happier person when she got to workout. Amber Long, fitness coordinator at the Amber Student Recreation Center, said running was great for reducing stress because it allowed people to take time for themselves. Long said even though running might be the preferred mode of exercise, runners should not disregard the importance of cross training, the combining of exercises to work various parts of the body. Taylor Smith, a junior from Wichita, said he avoided running everyday as he trains for the Wichita River Run, a 10-kilometer race, on May 8. Smith said he ran three days a week and lifted weights on his off days. He said he runs for his own enjoyment and for racing. "I'm kind of a fitness person these days," Smith said.

The Public Administration Department, which offers degrees at masters, doctoral and undergraduate levels, is trying to limit the effects of its five-percent cut to its operating budget by collecting and reusing office supplies. As a result, Diana Koslowsky, senior administration associate with the department, has enough paperclips on her desk to last a year. "We are just trying to save money," Koslowsky said. The department folders, which, Koslowsky said, is probably saving a little more money because they are more expensive than paperclips. Although the University did not specifically cut the department's budget plies and other expenses.

In an attempt to limit the effect the budget cuts will have on staff and services. University departments are looking toward less conventional ways to compensate for the decrease in funding. CUT DOWN ON 'TOOT' If students want to hear the steam whistle in its full, former glory, they will need to visit the display on the first floor of the Kansas Union. The steam whistle, "Tootie-Toot," sounds for 2.5 seconds to signal the end of each class. Three years ago, "Tootie-Toot" sounded for five full seconds each time. Jill Jess, University spokeswoman, said shortening the whistle saved about $1,000 per year, but the actual amount saved fluctuates with the price of natural gas. In August 2008, the University decided not to toot the whistle because of the expenses. However, after receiving complaints from alumni, students and staff, the whistle returned in September, but with half as much gusto as before. Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, senior vice president of communications and marketing at KU Endowment, said it received more than $4,000 in donations from 12 different donors to get the whistle running again and keep the tradition alive.

The total cost of operating the fleet in 2009 was $276,164. This includes $111,278 for fuel and $164,886 for repairs, insurance, registration, tires, batteries and regular vehicle maintenance. Riat said the department replaces five vehicles during a normal year. However, he said this year the department might only replace one, if not all. if any at all.

After deducting the cost of maintenance and repairs, he estimated this year's savings to be $81,200. Golledge said she did not expect any other major cuts to dining services. However, KU Dining will continue to monitor traffic patterns at all locations and adjust hours of operations accordingly. Jacey Lashier, a sophomore from Lenexa, said she was annoyed that food is not served on Saturdays. "We either have to go to the Union to buy food at the Hawk Shop or go out to buy food," Lashier said. "It's a hassle for sure." — Edited by Kate Larrabee Alternatives on Fridays have also expanded to help students who relied on Saturday meals. Golledge said since closing the dining center on Saturdays, the number of meal equivalencies given on Fridays had increased, but she said it was difficult to determine the exact number. Golledge said closing GSP Dining will have saved approximately 6,000 hours in labor by the end of this academic year. Student jobs on campus are paid $7.50 per hour, so the reduction in hours could lead to a savings of $45,000. NM man arrested for bong igniting home LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Authorities said a 30-year-old man was arrested for allegedly using a marijuana bong and setting his mobile home on fire. Investigator Lindell Wright said the man was using alcohol to clean the bong when he purposely ignited the alcohol and set fire to his curtains. Riat said the department saved the most money in custodial labor. The department also saved money by limiting services. Offices that have previously been cleaned up to three times a week are now only being cleaned once a week. He said four custodial positions were eliminated this year. The starting wage for a custodian is $10.15 an hour, Riat said. With benefits, a custodial salary is about $27,000, making the expense cut about $180,000. "We can't continue to provide the same services with fewer staff," Riat said. Lindell said no one else was home when the suspect allegedly set the blaze, which destroyed the home but caused no injuries. Wright said an off-duty deputy sheriff spotted the man driving away from the burning home and alerted authorities. He was arrested after a police chase. "We wanted to make sure that the women at GSP had options available," Golledge said. KITCHEN CLOSED To continue providing services to the students, GSP Dining has extended the meal equivalency hours. A meal equivalency is a brown-bag meal that usually includes a sandwich, two sides and a drink. The meals are offered at GSP from 6:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Fridays until 7 p.m. "Our goal was to find savings that had the least amount of impact to our customers across campus," said Nona Golledge, director of KU Dining Services. GSP Dining serves about 750 meals on an average weekday. Last school year, the average total meal count served on Saturdays was less than 75. Because of dwindling numbers, GSP Dining decided to close the dining center on Saturdays in August 2009.

Clark came in for relief and pitched two innings with no runs. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Kansas outhits Nebraska but fails to score BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com twitter.com/zgetz Kansas' hopes of starting a conference winning streak were crushed Wednesday as Kansas was shut out by Nebraska 2-0. Kansas was able to outthit Nebraska nine to eight, but it stranded 11 runners in the game. Getting runners on base wasn't a problem but scoring was, freshman outfielder Maggie Hull said. "We just tensed up when runners were on and couldn't get runners home today," said Hull, who went three for three. "We just couldn't get hits at the right time." With the loss, Kansas falls to 17-23 (1-8) while Nebraska improves to 25-17 (4-3). Kansas continues to struggle to score in Big 12 Conference play and has only scored 15 runs in its nine games. Coach Megan Smith described Kansas' outing as frustrating, but she said she saw a lot of positives in the game. "I was really pleased with the defense, and I was really pleased with the pitching." Smith said. "Our freshmen are still playing really well, which hopefully foreshadows our future." Kansas practices pressure situations, but Smith said she thought that the team didn't handle them well. "We didn't have anyone step up and get the job done today," Smith said. Although Kansas couldn't get runners home, it did prevent Nebraska from scoring after the Cornhuskers got several runners in scoring position with one or zero outs. Hull said she had seen the defense steadily improve all season and that she thought it was one of the stronger parts of Kansas' game. "We are kind of unstoppable at defense. We just need to match it on offense side," Hull said. Nebraska started the game hot, scored a run on a sacrifice fly in the first and racked up another run in the third. Kansas, on the other hand, could not capitalize on its opportunities and stranded runners in scoring position throughout the game. Neither team scored after the top of the third. Freshman outfielder Alex Jones said Kansas wouldn't have much time to dwell on the loss. The team plays a doubleheader at Creighton tonight and two games against No. 9 Oklahoma State over the weekend. Jones said it was part of softball to move onto the next game and focus on what's ahead. "Whether something is good, or it's bad, we have to have a short memory," Jones said. - Edited by Kate Larrabee See a photo gallery of the game at kansan.com/photos. ku SN GAMERECAP Nebraska 2.

FOOTBALL The uncertainties of spring football practice Coach Turner Gill must decide on a new quarterback and defensive end 91 BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com Junior defensive end Jake Laptad sacks Northern Colorado's quarterback, Bryan Waggener. Coach Turner Gill said that so far, no player has stood out in practice. Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO DEFENSIVE LINE SEARCHING FOR DIFFERENCE MAKERS - In his meetings with the media, coach 'turner Gill has generously praised his players after watching the Jayhawks live for the first time this spring. But one position that hasn't been singled out yet is defensive end. Gill insists that's not a slight against any of Kansas' defensive ends — it's just that no player has really done enough to stand out in practice so far. "Nobody has really just jumped out." Gill said. "Not to say that they're not good or pretty good or great. I'm just saying that they haven't really stood out at this time for whatever reason." --- At times last season, Kansas' entire defensive line suffered a similar problem. An unproven unit entering last season, the layhawks recorded 31 sacks a year ago. But 15 of those stops occurred in the season's first four games, and Kansas generally struggled to create a pass rush in the Big 12. The jayhawks return a similar cast along the defensive line this season. Kansas lost defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule to graduation, but the Jayhawks return defensive tackles Richard Johnson, Jr., lamal Greene and John Williams and defensive end Jake Laptad. Yet Greene has stepped up in their place. Gill said Greene, a defensive tackle, was one of the most impressive players along the defensive line this spring. Laptad led the Jayhawks with seven sacks last season while Williams displayed disruptive potential after moving from offensive line midway through the year. Both have been limited with injuries this spring. "Not one person has really just jumped out in front of everyone else." Gill said. "All of them have played pretty good. But Greene has been the one that has stood out as far as the whole defensive line." As a sophomore in 2008, Greene appeared to drastically improve as the year progressed. He finished that season with 21 tackles — six for a loss — and started the final seven games. Greene played in nine games last season and recorded six tackles. But he made just one tackle for a loss and struggled to develop a consistent spot in the rotation. "He's shown that he can be a guy that's very physical and can still make some plays," said Gill, who added that Greene still needed to lose some weight. "He's shown good leverage, and I like the way he plays with good effort." This spring, Gill said Greene could disrupt an opposing offense. QUARTERBACKS CONTINUE BATTLE INTO SPRING Back when he was a sophomore at Dodge City High School, redshirt sophomore Kale Pick battled for the starting quarterback position with another player before eventually winning the spot. In college, Pick has either started at quarterback, sat out because of injury or served as Todd Reesing's backup. But not since that sophomore season in high school has Pick been placed in a true competition. Now Pick is entrenched in a muddied quarterback battle with redshirt freshman Jordan Webb and four other hopefuls who are using spring practices as a platform to impress coach Turner Gill. "There is great competition." Gill said. "It puts a smile on my face when you do have some guys who can make some plays." One of the more talked about aspects of Kansas' spring practices, the quarterback position is far from determined, a point Gill reiterated earlier this week. Gill added that Kansas' quarterbacks have improved since the SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 3B COMMENTARY Only two chances left for top recruits P. M. BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com Coach Bill Self steps to the plate, tightens his gloves and knocks the bat against his cleats. In his own words, Self needs to hit a home run. The first pitch comes, and Self takes a mighty hack. He whiffs on his first chance at a recruiting home run this week, losing Brandon Knight, Rivals.com's top ranked player to Kentucky. Knight certainly would have been the home run Self was openly pining for. Instead, Knight is strike one in Self's quest to go long. That's if we're treating this week as a new at bat. Self already whiffed on his first major target for the 2010 class, Harrison Barnes. Barnes is headed to North Carolina instead. But Barnes committed a while ago, long before this season ended, way before Kansas lost to Northern Iowa and way before Cole Aldrich, junior center, and Xavier Henry, freshman guard, confirmed that they were NBA bound. It was those circumstances, along with the graduation of Sherron Collins, senior guard, that prompted Self to call his shot. The good news is that although Knight represents strike one this week, Saturday represents an opportunity at a two-run shot. Selby, the second ranked point guard in the nation according to Rivals.com, likely isn't going to Kentucky now that Knight is. And Lamb, perhaps the most dynamic scorer in the entire recruiting class, was seen sporting a KU T-shirt recently. Most importantly, no one seems to think that the two would be averse to teaming up in the same back court. In fact, some speculation has it that they would prefer to tag team, wherever they commit. That's because at this Saturday's Jordan Brand All-American Game, five-star studs Josh Selby and Doron Lamb will offer their commitments. Kansas is rumored to be high on both their lists. Still, nabbing either player would clearly be a tremendous supplement to a class that, thus far, includes only the underhyped Royce Woolridge. You might even say that either Lamb or Selby would be that home run Self seeks, and that getting both would be a grand slam. So, strike one in the books. Self steps out of the box and readjusts his gear. Two more pitches to go.

It was a four-bagger with historical significance. Pujols has had more home runs through his first 10 seasons than the first 10 seasons of anyone else in Major League Baseball history. The scary thing is that because he did it so early in his 10th season that you could say Puols has more home runs in his first nine seasons plus one week than anyone else had through 10 entire seasons. According to Nick Scala of blogs. vgazette.com, the list looks like this before Wednesday's game: Player, career home runs through 10 seasons, (all time home runs, all time rank) *still active *san active* 1. Albert Pujols 371 + (371*, 67th) 2. Eddie Mathews 370 (512, T21st) 3. Ralph Kiner 369 (369, 69th) 4. Ken Griffey Jr. 350 (630*, 5th) 5. Alex Rodriguez 345 (583*, T8th) 6. Hank Aaron 342 (755, 2nd) 7.

Mickey Mantle 320 (536, 16th) BY MAX VOSBURGH mvosburgh@kansan.com twitter.com/MVSPort It didn't take long before I knew the kind of Hall of Fame potential I saw in Pujols. And there's a habit some people have when you go to a baseball game and look forward to watching guys you know will be in the Hall of Fame one day. Who wouldn't want to say they saw Babe Ruth play or Tom Seaver pitch? My sentiments were perfectly illustrated in a line from a 2009 commercial for Major League Baseball promoting Albert Pujols: "Your grandfather never misses a chance to tell you he saw Joe DiMaggio play the field. Or maybe it's your dad telling you he saw Hank Aaron go deep. Now it's your chance to tell your kids that you saw Albert Pujols do everything." THE MORNING BREW Even if you look through his first nine years and pick out the worst batting average, home run and RBI totals of his career, you'd still have a guy with a batting average of .314 (2002) and who hit 32 home runs (2007) and 103 RBIs (2007). So far, Pujols has won the National League MVP award in 2004, 2005 and 2009, made the All-Star game every year but 2002 and led his team to a World Series championship in 2006. It was after a game in 2001, Pujols' rookie year, when I remember my dad asking me, "So how about Pujols?" No one really asks that anymore. Every time he does something great, it's more like, "There he goes again." Edited by Jesse Rangel COLLEGE BASKETBALL Knight and Gilchrist sign on with Kentucky MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE As recruiting analysts saw in Kentucky sent a message to college basketball on Wednesday. Two messages, actually, when arguably the best prospects in the high school junior and senior classes committed to the Cats. The commitments declared that Kentucky's few years of wan- Praveen Knight PETER DAVIS ding the basketball wilderness were over. These commitments on the first day of the month-long spring signing period signaled that no matter the loss of talent, or maybe because of it in this age of so-called one and d- Gilchrist Kentucky could remain an elite program. "He simply reloads," analyst Brick Oettinger of the Prep Stars service said of UK Coach John Calipari, "by getting the same caliber players he lost." A severe test came earner this month when, as expected, UK announced that five players, including the four freshman jewels of last year's No. 1-rated recruiting class, would enter their names in the 2010 NBA Draft. "Momentum is huge in recruiting," Meyer said. "Everybody saw the success John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton had. That's very attractive to prospects." Knight represented the fourth straight No.1 rated point guard to commit to Calipari. He expected to assume Wall's starring role. He follows Wall and Memphis' Tyreke Evans and Derrick Rose. "He's helped them nurture their talents and get better," Knight said during his nationally televised news conference at his high school. He liked all the schools on his final list but said, "I feel I can get better at Kentucky." While Evans and Rose both left for the NBA after one season under Calipari at Memphis and Wall looks headed that way after starring at UK as a freshman, Knight doesn't exactly fit the "one-and-done" mold. His basketball talents aside, Knight also has a history of academic excellence and has regularly emphasized his desire to be a successful college student. Knight has a 4.3 grade-point average at Pine Crest and his mother recently said he's on pace to graduate from high school with all As for his entire academic career. "He is a student athlete in every sense of the word," Miami Herald reporter Fabian Lyon told ESPN last week for a story on Knight. Last month, Knight joined LeBron James and Greg Oden as only the two two-time national Gatorade Player of the Year. In the McDonald's All-American Game on March 31, Knight hit the game-winning three-pointer with just three seconds remaining. Kanter, a 6-foot-10 center who set a record with 34 points at last week's Nike Hoop Summit, signed with Kentucky as expected earlier Wednesday. days to replace as many as eight departing Wildcats. He will be playing in Saturday's Jordan Brand Classic in Madison Square Garden with Terrence Jones, Josh Selby, Doron Lamb and C.J. Leslie, all uncommitted seniors with Kentucky listed among their final schools. "They can't say, 'There's too many players at Kentucky, you won't play.' Calipari said. "We're looking at possibly bringing in five or six more players in this class." Calpari is expected to add several more players in the coming Gilchrist's commitment gave Kentucky a giant step ahead in recruiting the high school class of 2011. Gilchrist praised the UK fans after announcing his decision: "They have a lot of energy. It's really crazy there." It is believed Gilchrist has wanted to play for Calipari since he was in middle school, but the timing of Wednesday's announcement was a bit of a surprise. Domino's Pizza "I see a guy who has a significant ceiling," Scout.com's Dave Telep told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I see a guy who has unmatched desire to win. I see a young kid that has so much more room to get better." Gilchrist said making the announcement on April 14 had special importance. That's the birthday of his father, who died when Gilchrist was 2 years old. The UK commitment said he would No. 14 at UK in his father's honor. "It's not for me," Gilchrist said. "It's for him."

James Boyd, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound redshirt freshman, was moved from defensive end to quarterback, a position he starred at for Los Angeles Jordan High. Junior cornerback T.J. Bryant and sophomore receiver De'Von Flournoy were clearly less enthusiastic about their situations after Kiffin stripped both of jersey No. 1. "This is what I wanted when I came out of high school," said Boyd, who participated in only a few drills and acknowledged that it would take time to learn the playbook. "I knew the opportunity was going to come. I just didn't know when... I got it, so now it's time to run with it."

Morse took a redshirt during his first year, and he is now batting for the starting position. 16 2 FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) start of spring practices, including during scrimmages. "Learning a new offense, it's easy to go seven on seven and be able to think without the defense rushing." Webb said. "But you have the defense rushing. You have to be on your toes. You have to be alert about everything." During scrimmages, Kansas' quarterbacks still wear the red jersey — a reminder for defenders to avoid contact. Still, Webb said playing against an actual pass rush would help the inexperienced group of quarterbacks. After all, avoiding defenders is an act that can't be simulated in basic spring passing drills. "It's a different feeling," Webb said. "It's not like we've never felt it before, but it's not laid back. Some people think the spring might be laid back. But it's full go. They might not hit us, but they're right in our ears if they get to us." For Gill, the quarterback position seems to be more about managing a team, not strictly the physical characteristics involved with the position. At the beginning of spring practices, Gill said he wanted to watch how each quarterback acted in the huddle. On Monday, he laid out qualities he searches for in any quarterback. "If he's able to do all three or four of those things, then you'll have an outstanding quarterback." "You definitely want a guy that takes care of the football," Gill said. "You definitely want a guy that will be able to make plays, whether with his legs or with his arms. But the main thing is trying to raise the level of play of the guys that are around him. At this point, though, Kansas' quarterbacks are simply focused on the quarterback battle at hand. "If anybody gets the lead or if I get the lead. I'm not going to come and stay comfortable with it," Pick said. "That's not the way it should be." SECONDARY POSSESSES DEPTH DESPIE LOSS OF PLAYERS Before the start of spring practices, two former starters decided they wanted to open the spring as wide receivers, not defensive backs. And in the eyes of junior cornerback Chris Harris, it's not a bad thing that Daymond Patterson and DJ. Beshears switched to offense. "I don't even know how it would be if those two were still at corner because we have eight corners that are already good players." Harris said. Although spring practice ends on April 24, the Jayhawks still aren't locked into established positions or start lineups. The Jayhawks lost experienced safeties justin Thornton and Darrell Stuckey to graduation. But Kansas still returns a handful of players with starting experience. Sophomores Anthony Davis, Corrigan Powell and Ryan Murphy and junior Calvin Rubles have all played cornerback. Freshman Lubbock Smith started six games last season at safety. Still, only Harris, who started opposite Aqib Talib in the 2008 Orange Bowl, possesses significant playing time. "I believe that we have the guys to pick up the load and move forward," junior safety Olaitan Oguntodu said. — Edited by Allyson Shaw COLLEGE BASKETBALL Jeff Bzdelik leaves Colorado, named coach at Wake Forest MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Wake Forest's new basketball coach Jeff Bzdelik arrived on campus with endorsements from well-known NBA figures such as Pat Riley, Wes Unseld and Gregg Popovich. He also brought a college coaching record from Colorado that was worse the last three years than the one posted by Dino Gaudio, the Demons decoons coach he is replacing. At his introduction Wednesday morning. Bzdelik (pronounced "buzz-DELL" DANIEL SCHNEIDER Bzdelik ick") and Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman acknowledged that fan reaction to the hire has been mixed at best. Bzdelik hardly has been a household name in North Carolina. An early version of the school's news release announcing his hiring even had his name spelled wrong. "I believe in everything it stands for," he said. "Great academics. Great integrity. Great people. It's in the ACC, on top of that." But Wellman predicted that as Wake Forest fans get to know Bzdelik, they would come to love and support him. He has coached at other schools — Air Force, Northwestern and Davidson — with high academic profiles similar to Wake Forest's. During his introductory news conference at Deacon Tower at the school's football stadium, Bzdelik said that if he could pick a school to coach, it would be Wake Forest. Gaudio, who was promoted to head coach after the death of Skip Prosser, was 61-31 in three seasons. He reached the second round of the NCAA tournament last month by defeating Texas. The season ended, however, with a 30-point loss to Kentucky in the second round, and one of the reasons Wellman cited for firing Gaudio was his 1-5 postseason record, as well as the team's struggles in February and March. In comparison, Bzdelik went 4-7 in postseason play over the last five seasons at Air Force and Colorado, including 1-5 in conference tournament games. Wellman said you could not compare the situations at Wake Forest and Colorado, where Bzdelik inherited a 7-20 team and improved it to 15-16 by this season, his third in Boulder, Colo. "You have to dig deeper than the numbers," Wellman said. "You have to look at where Colorado was three years ago. ... He really had to start over. Their situation was very, very challenging." He also said that despite concerns that he had hired Bzdelik because of familiarity (Wellman coached baseball at Northwestern when Bzdelik was an assistant there in the 1980s), the two had not been friends or had any contact for years at one point. Well before Wednesday morning's announcement of his hiring, Bzdelik, 57, had a fondness for the university and a family connection because his daughter Courtney is a student there. Those factors worked in Bzdelik's favor. A phone call that interrupted Wellman and Bzdelik while they were together before the hiring also made a positive impression on Wellman. Bzdelik excused himself to take the call and returned looking troubled. Wellman asked if something was wrong. The call had been from Dan Nwaelee, who had played for Bzdelik at Air Force several years ago. Wellman learned that it was the final hour before Nwaelele would be deployed to Afghanistan, and his former coach was one of the people he wanted to talk to. "That tells you about the relationship he has with his players," Wellman said. "He really is close with his players." Bzdelik is 111-105 overall in seven seasons as a college coach. As head coach of the Denver Nuggets from 2002 to 2005, he was 73-119. In 2004, Bzdelik became the first coach since the NBA adopted an 82-game schedule to guide a team to the playoffs a year after winning fewer than 20 games. Before he was hired at Colorado, Bzdelik was 50-16 in two seasons at Air Force. He also was 25-31 from 1986 to 1988 at Maryland-Baltimore County as the team made the transition from Division II to Division I. He spent 15 seasons as a scout and a coach in the NBA. He worked under Riley with the New York Knicks and Miami Heat, and under Unseld with the Washington Bullets (now the Washington Wizards). "I've been around the greatest players in the game," Bzdelik said. "I can't say I've been at X amount of Final Fours, but there is nobody (in the ACC) that can say they've been to the NBA playoffs nine times as an assistant and as a head coach. I separate myself in a positive way from a lot of people in that regard." Bzdelik said he wants his team to attack the rim quickly in transition and spoke proudly of blowout wins over Georgia, Stanford and even Wake Forest by his Air Force teams. ADULT SWIM GAMES! PRIZES!

Fans will invade Memorial Stadium this week to see high school, college and even Olympic athletes compete in the 83rd running of the event. With the overwhelming number of athletes to watch, here's a rundown of five Kansas athletes and three Olympic athletes that should not be missed this week. Freshman jumper Andrea Geubelle was the only freshman to compete in the triple-jump at the Indoor National Championships last month in Fayetteville, Ark. She is set to compete in the triple-jump at noon Friday. She holds the eighth-best distance in the nation in this event. Geubelle is also signed up for the women's long-jump at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The third-best weight throw distance in the nation belongs to freshman Alena Krechyk, Krechyks toss of 211-10 feet earned her the top spot in the West region standings. She is a first-year thrower; the event is at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. After being a redshirt in 2009, junior javelin thrower lain Trimble makes his return to the Kansas Relays but has yet to return to his 2008 form this year. He is currently fifth in the Big 12 and 15th in the West region. It will be interesting to see if the home crowd advantage will push Trimble back onto the podium. Senior distance runner Lauren Bonds is competing in her final Kansas Relays. She will close out her KU career with five events this week. Bonds is competing in the distance medley relay and 4x1 mile relay along with 800, 3,000 and 5,000 meters. The one event that is sure to garner attention is the men's 110-meter hurdles. Three sprinters are ranked in the top 15 nationally, including sophomore Keith Hayes, who is ranked 13th in the country. Out of all the 5,521 athletes competing this week, spinner Veronica Campbell Brown probably stands out the most because of her Olympic pedigree. CampbellBrown, a Jamaican runner, has won five Olympic medals, including three gold medals. CampbellBrown will bring plenty of star power to the Relays, which currently rates as the second largest track and field meet in the country. Campbell Brown will be joined by fellow Olympians Churandy Martina and Brendan Christian. Martina, a Netherlands native, will highlight the men's invitational 100-meter dash, which is set for 2:45 p.m on Saturday. Christian, an Antigua native, is a former Texas Longhorn and two-time Olympian and currently holds the Longhorn 100-meter record. He will be competing in the men's invitational 200-meter dash at 3:45 p.m. Saturday. Event finals will coincide Saturday with the invitationals, all featuring the Olympians and other special guests.

Lackey turned in a second strong start and Jeremy Hermida gave Boston room with a three-run double in the eighth inning, leading the Red Sox to a 6-3 win Wednesday in the second game at Target Field. Lackey (1-0) lasted 6 2-3 innings for his first Red Sox victory, lifted early by Marco Scutaro's two singles and Dustin Pedroia's RBI double and solo home run. The crowd of 38,164, more than 1,000 below capacity, rediscovered baseball's unique relationship with the weather. The temperature at first pitch was 73 degrees, but raindrops started to fall in the third and sprinkled the sparkling new ballpark intermittently over the next four innings. Some fans went scurrying for the concourses and others hastily put up their umbrellas, but the rain brought a cheer and a few chants of "out-door base-ball" in another sign of the celebration of Minnesota's move out of the Metrodome to an open-air facility. Twins starter Kevin Slowey (1-1) inched through five, giving up three runs and taking the loss. Hermida's bases-clearing hit gave the Red Sox a 6-2 lead, but the Twins had chances to come back. The sun came out when Joe Mauer came to the plate in the seventh, but he was intentionally walked to load the bases after a passed ball with two outs. Justin Morneau hit a weak popup near the mound to end that threat. Michael Cuddyer's homer and Delmon Young's double got the eighth off to a strong start, but Daniel Bard finished the inning without more damage and Jonathan Papelbon worked the ninth for his third save. He got Cuddyer on a long fly to end the game with two on. heal, Scutaro is the replacement leadoff hitter. He got the Red Sox going right away with sharp singles in each of the first two innings, scoring on Pedroia's double in the first and driving in J.D. Drew in the second. Minnesota tied it in the third, but Pedroia gave Boston the lead back with his homer to left. With Jacoby Ellsbury likely out for the series while his bruised ribs After a sharp start last week in a win over the Los Angeles Angels, Slowey never found his footing — even literally in the fifth following Pedroia's two-out shot. Slowey gave up a single and a walk after the homer, prompting pitching coach Rick Anderson to the mound. He asked the umpires to check the mound, and the grounds crew guys hustled out for their first critical in-game task. Slowey got the last out of the inning, but his day was done with 98 pitches, five hits and four walks. MLB Guillen scores five homers in four games, assists in victory Beginning an $82.5 million, fiveyear contract with the Red Sox, Lackey has logged 12 2-3 innings over two starts with only 10 hits and two runs allowed. ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — lose Guillen homered for the fourth straight game, connecting for his 200th career shot and leading the Kansas City Royals. and Johnny Damon got his 1,000th career RBI. ing the Detroit Tigers 7-3 Wednesday. Kyle Davies (1-0) allowed three runs in 6 2-3 innings. The Royals got 2 1-3 innings of scoreless relief from their shaky bullpen, with Guillen hit his fifth home run in a four-game span. His solo drive capped a two-run seventh inning that put the Penguin on. Guillen hit his fifth home run in a four-game span.

DeJesus scored on Butler's sacrifice fly when catcher Gerald Laird couldn't handle It was three-all in the seventh when David DeJesus started the seventh with a walk off Ryan Ordonez's throw from right field. Guillen followed with his home run for a 5.3 lead. Damon's two-out single in the bottom half of the inning brought John Parrish from the bullpen. Parrish had retired all 10 batters he had faced this year, but walked Ordonez before getting Miguel Cabrera to ground out. Ordonez hit his third home run in the first inning. The Royals came back against Rick Porcello on DeJesus' two-run double in the second and added a run in the third when Jason Kendall singled home Guillen. Detroit tied it in the fifth.

From the vast array of computer systems to the ever-evolving models, this transformation has led to significant improvements in productivity, efficiency, and security. One of the most notable advancements in computer technology is the introduction of new hardware components like graphics cards, RAM, and CPU cores. These innovations have enabled users to process larger amounts of data faster than ever before, leading to improved performance in tasks such as gaming, graphic design, and data analysis. Another key change is the shift towards cloud computing. Cloud-based solutions allow users to access data and applications from anywhere with an internet connection. This shift has made it easier for businesses to scale their operations, reduce costs, and increase flexibility. In addition to these technological changes, there has been a growing demand for more efficient and reliable computing systems. The development of faster processors, more powerful CPUs, and advanced cooling technologies has helped to improve the overall performance of desktop computers. These advancements have also led to increased competition among manufacturers. Some companies are now developing new features and features to enhance their computers' performance and functionality. For example, some manufacturers are now incorporating advanced graphics processing units (GPUs) into their machines to deliver high-resolution images and videos. Despite the progress, there are still challenges that need to be addressed in the computer industry. For instance, the growth of mobile devices and cloud computing continues to drive demand for more powerful computing systems. However, the industry is also facing challenges related to battery life and energy efficiency. In conclusion, the transition from traditional desktop computers to modern cloud computing and mobile devices has brought about many significant changes in the computer industry. These changes have improved productivity, efficiency, and security, but there are still challenges that need to be addressed to ensure continued success in the field. **Image:** A close-up view of a desktop computer with various technological components, including a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and graphics card.

Home runs, strikeouts up SOFTBALL Technology and strength training are responsible UWIRE College softball is not the defense-oriented sport it once was. Recent national softball statistics have shown a rise in offensive numbers as well as a rise in strikeouts. Whether it be the improvement in technology or the increased strength training, one thing is certain: more pitches are either being sent out of the park or smacking into the catcher's mitt. to .57, though the number was .61 in 2007. Statistical archives of Division I softball from 1999 to 2009 show a definite increase in big-hitting ability. The average number of home runs per game has jumped from .31 Few modern statistics look similar to their 1999 counterparts. University of Kentucky head coach Rachel Lawson, a former University around 220 feet," Lawson said. "After teams began investing more money into their facilities and putting emphasis on softball, they put up 200-foot fences, which are obviously easier to sily easier to hit over." "Another big change has been the use of composite bats. That is a new technology we didn't have when I played. We need to get a "These girls are already bigger,stronger,and faster." The most notable change for Kentucky has been the number of strikeouts. Kentucky pitchers recorded 103 in 2002, an average of 1.84 per game. Last season of Massachusetts softball player, has witnessed many of these changes firsthand. better handle on the batting technology and get those home run numbers under control. These girls are already bigger, stronger and faster." RACHEL LAWSON University of Kentucky coach "Many of the fields I played at had no fences, so a home run was "We need to get a better handle on the batting technology and get those home run, numbers under control." In sharp contrast, strikeouts are up as well. Through a seven-inning game in 1999, a pitcher tossed 4.45 Ks. That number has now jumped to 5.27 per game. - RACHEL LAWSON University of Kentucky coach The University of Kentucky's statistics are even more staggering. Though the Cats' softball statistics are only archived since 2002, the trends are still visible. 315 batters, an average of 5.53 per game. Though the rise can be attributed to Kentucky's talented pitchers, the number has been climbing since 2002. That number has been steadily increasing recently and jumped to 39 last season. The Cats are an extreme example of the national number of home runs. $ ^{a} $Any time Chanda Bell goes onto the field she can earn anywhere from eight to 13 or 14 strikeouts per game," Lawson said. "Her and Amber (Mateusow) have done a great job for us. But any time a pitcher can provide half of the outs like they can, it is an absolute game-changer." — Chandler Howard writes for the Kentucky Kernel at the University of Kentucky.

"We're stuck with Title IX," Merrick said. "Title IX precludes that happening to us at this time." But some experts, like Dr. John Cheslock, a professor and senior research associate at Pennsylvania State, disagree with the commission's findings. Cheslock, who has conducted extensive research on the impact of Title IX, said Title IX itself has not led to a reduction of men's sports and that such claims are not supported by facts. Debate over Title IX continues COLLEGE ATHLETICS The club team has tried to gain varsity status at Minnesota in the past, Merrick said, but unless another women's sport is added, it won't happen. Ever since the enactment of Title IX of the Higher Education Amendment Acts of 1972, federal legislation aimed at preventing gender discrimination in educational institutions, the law's implications have been a hot-button issue in the world of collegiate athletics. At the University of Minnesota, some argue Title IX has kept new men's sports from developing. UWIRE "In newspaper op-eds they can sort of fly, but if you get some statisticians in the room they can pretty quickly debunk those and show that, well no, there hasn't been these large declines in men's participation," Cheslock said. The commission is an independent, bipartisan agency established by Congress that investigates issues of sex, race, age, disability or national origin. The report stated: "Panelists reported instances of colleges and universities dropping men's sports programs in order to reach Title IX compliance under the proportional representation." Earlier this month, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights released a report recommending less stringent compliance standards for Title IX and hinted that the predominant method of compliance leads to a reduction in men's sports. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights' report contends that surveying the student body to gauge athletic interest and ability is an effective way of meeting the third condition. "Your student body is not composed of your potential student athletes, so surveying them is not really relevant." Cheslock said. Cheslock authored a study in 2008 for the Women's Sports Foundation, which found that in response to Title IX, colleges and universities were increasing women's participation without decreasing men's participation. According to the study, between the 1992-93 and 2000-01 academic years, when Title IX was more strictly enforced, women's participation increased by 4.5 percent and men's participation increased by .3 percent annually. The third method of compliance, which is perhaps the least rigid, states that universities must show they are adequately accommodating the athletic interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex. THREE TESTS OF COMPLIANCE There are three forms of satisfying Title IX compliance. The first is used by most institutions and calls for universities to have substantial proportional representation in their athletic opportunities meaning that the number of opportunities should reflect the gender ratio of general student body. The second requires schools to show a history of progress providing athletic opportunities to the children. underrepresented sex. Merrick said there was no doubt that there was enough talent and interest in men's soccer to field a team capable of competing at the Division I level. Merrick said Minnesota produced a high number of the nation's top recruits each year. Interpreting the third condition can be difficult, Cheslock said, but the model survey method endorsed by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights may not be appropriate for large Division I schools who recruit across the country and even internationally. Cheslock said student athletes interested in a particular sport likely would not attend a school that doesn't offer that sport. In order to comply with the proportional representation standard of Title IX, some universities have added women's rowing teams to balance the large rosters of Division 1 football teams. "To me Title IX has opened the door for women to experience what men have for a long time." "For somebody like me, it's frustrating that we've got so many wonderful players in the state of Minnesota who are having to go out of state ... to find Division I soccer somewhere else," Merrick said. While Title IX may hinder the chances that Merrick and the men's club soccer team will one day compete at the NCAA level, it has undeniably led to new opportunities for female athletes, particularly in the sport of rowing. when she said the men's rowing team received four times more funding than the women's team. WENDY DAVIS Women's rowing coach to experience what men have for a long time," Davis said. A 2007 study conducted by the National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education found that while women comprise 57 percent of the college population, only 42 percent of athletic participation opportunities are for women. Women's rowing coach Wendy Davis said she had experienced the benefits of TITLE IX first hand. Davis recalled her days at the University of California-Los Angeles from 1978 to 1982.

Relive Gameday with "Gameday at the Wheel" / SPORTS / THURSDAY, APRIL 15. 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM MLB Cubs hold on to beat Brewers ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Kosuke Fukudome and Ryan Theriot each hit two-run singles with two outs in the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-6 on Wednesday. The Cubs prevailed even though left fielder Alfonso Soriano got lifted after more defensive lapses. Theriot had four hits, Fukudome drove in three runs and Geovany Soto hit his first homer. LaTroy Hawkins (0-1) retired the first two Cubs hitters in the eighth, but a single by Jeff Baker and walks to Geovany Soto and Tyler Colvin loaded the bases. Theriot singled and stole second, setting up Fukudome's go-ahead hit. Jeff Gray (1-0) won despite giving up two runs in the eighth. Carlos Marmol struck out the side in the ninth for his third save, and sent the Brewers to their fourth loss in five games. Soriano had another rough day in the field, bobbling Rickie Weeks two-run double down the line in the fifth and allowing Corey Hart's RBI double off the wall to carom by him in the seventh. That made it 4-2 and chased starter Randy Wells. One batter later, Soriano got pulled for Colvin and trotted off the field to loud boos in a double-switch that also saw reliever James Russell replace Justin Berg with two outs in the seventh. Soriano's latest misadventures came after manager Lou Piniella tried to give him a confidence boost. "Look, I love this guy to death, I really do," Pinieira said before the game. "I want to see Sori do well. He's a good young man, he works hard. He's had such a great career, and you want to see that continue." What he doesn't want to see is Soriano dropping a fly ball, as he did Sunday in Cincinnati, or misplaying balls the way he did against Milwaukee. It would help if Soriano started producing at the plate, and to that end, his second-inning double was a good start. Soriano drove the ball to the right-field corner and scored on a double by Mike Fontenot to give the Cubs a 1-1 lead, but the good vibe ended in the fifth. Carlos Gomez got nailed by center fielder Marlon Byrd trying to go from first to third on Alcides Escobar's one-out single, but Wells walked pitcher Dave Bush. Both runners came around when Weeks drove a 3-2 pitch down the left-field line. Soriano had trouble picking the ball up for his second error this season, allowing Weeks to reach third. The Brewers wasted a solid effort by Bush, who allowed two runs and seven hits over six innings. MLB Giants shut out Pirates ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Aubrey Huff hit the first inside-the-park home run of his career and Jonathan Sanchez struck out 11, leading the San Francisco Giants over the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0 Wednesday. Huff got a helpful carom to circle the bases. Eli Whiteside hit a three-run shot later in the second inning and Aaron Rowand homered a few innings after them. time to round the bases. Huff slid into home, but it wasn't necessary. This was the first homer of the year for San Francisco's new cleanup hitter. Huff led off the second with a drive that hit the arch on the facade in right center, known in this pitcher-friendly park as triples alley. The ball then ricocheted into right field and gave Huff ample The Giants' Nate Schierholtz hit the last inside-the-park homer here last June 14 against Oakland. Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki did so during the 2007 All-Star Game at AT&T Park. Sanchez (1-0) matched his career best with 11 strikeouts in eight scoreless innings. The Giants improved to 7-2, their best start since beginning 8-1 in 2003 — their last playoff season. It was the fourth inside-the park homer in regular-season history at the ballpark, which opened in 2000. fourth career outing with 10 or more strikeouts. The left-hander received a rousing standing ovation when he walked off the mound after the eighth. Sanchez escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth on the way to his first career win over Pittsburgh in five appearances. It marked his Manager Bruce Bochy turned to closer Brian Wilson for the ninth because he needed work and Sanchez had thrown 109 pitches. Sanchez walked three. Sanchez, who pitched a no-hitter against San Diego last July 10, held the Pirates to three hits. He allowed a single to Lastings Milledge in the first and not another hit until Ronny Cedeno's double to start the sixth. Sanchez also had an infield single in the second for his first hit of 2010 and 10th of his career. Huff and Whiteside each added doubles for San Francisco. Pablo Sandoval saw the end to his 12-game hitting streak dating to last season. Charlie Morton (0-2) endured another rough day in his second start of the year. With a 21.60 ERA coming in, the right-hander was tagged for six runs and eight hits in six innings.

Miami has officially traded for Denver wide receiver Brandon Marshall, one of the most talented but controversial players at his position. The acquisition changes the complexion of the Dolphins' offense immediately. Marshall arrived Wednesday afternoon in South Florida, where he promptly headed to take a physical. Leaving the doctor's office afterward, Marshall said everything went "great." Marshall TAYLOR JACKSON He was then headed to the team's facility to sign and formalize the biggest contract ever inked by a wide receiver. An Orlando native, Marshall told The Miami Herald it was good to be home. "This is home for me," he said. "I'm right up the road from Orlando. I'm a Florida boy!" Miami surrendered a second-round pick this year and another second-round pick next year to Denver for Marshall's services. ESPN first reported Marshall agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $47.5 million with $24 million guaranteed. That's in addition to the one year remaining on his Denver deal worth $2.5 million. WELCOME TO MIAMI Reached by The Herald on Wednesday morning, Dolphins wide receiver Greg Camarillo was excited about the trade - but he also hoped Marshall would bring the same team-oriented mentality that currently exists within the wide receiving corps. "Anytime you bring in a proven talent, you instantly get better," Camarillo said. "He has proven he can be dominant. I don't know Brandon Marshall, but I hope he brings the same mentality. I hope he's a team-oriented guy." Marshall already apparently has plans as soon as he arrives in South Florida. The Miami Heat's official Twitter page said Marshall arranged to sit courtside at Wednesday night's game at American Airlines Arena. Marshall declined to comment about whether he would attend the game. The wide receiver, in the peak of his career, is the type of aggressive force Miami treasures at the position, but coach Tony Sparano said at last month's owners' meetings in Orlando it would take something "tremendous" to make Miami go after such a player. Whether the deal became better-fitted for Miami's tastes – or whether it was simply a bluff – no longer seems to matter. On Tuesday, the Dolphins were actively trying to trade wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., which might have been the first sign of the pending deal. Asked if the team was interested in Marshall or wide receiver Terrell Owens, Sparano said. "Right now we're kind of sitting back and we feel good about where we are right now. We'll see as this thing goes on if all of a sudden something came to us that was tremendous. But right now, I wouldn't say so. We're OK where we are." When, on the same day, Marshall also signed his first-round tender, which prompted many to speculate that a trade between the Broncos and another team was about to go down. ROCKY TIMES IN DENVER Marshall has been a delight in Denver for his ability on the field (he has caught more than 100 passes for more than 1,000 yards each of the past three seasons) and a consistent distraction off the field (he was once suspended for a game because of legal trouble in 2008). Marshall has faced the law on multiple occasions throughout his career. In 2008, The Rocky Mountain News reported that Douglas County deputies responded to "about 11 calls" between January 2006 and 2008 One of those calls led to an arrest - a 2007 domestic dispute. Those charges were later dismissed after Marshall attended anger-management counseling. Marshall was again arrested later that year for DUI. Marshall's end with the Broncos, though, was largely the result of disagreements of a contractual nature. The team was unwilling to give him the big-money extension he desired. It appears the Dolphins are now prepared to make him happy. How this will change the Dolphins' current corps of wide receivers remains to be seen. Ginn is likely the odd man out, given the team's latest decision to shop him. If that's the case, the team's corps will include Camarillo and Brian Hartline as solid role players and Davone Bess as the team's consistent slot receiver, while Marshall would serve as the No. 1 force Miami has been searching for. Rams coach on hunt for new QB MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE ST. LOUIS - From the start of his tenure in St. Louis 15 months ago, coach Steve Spagnuolo was clear on his vision for the Rams. He wanted to build a winner on the foundation of a strong defense and a powerful running game. NFL As recently as mid-February, not long before the NFL scouting combine, Spagnuolo reiterated a variation of that win-in-the-trenches philosophy. Which seemed like a pretty strong hint that the Rams were "I've said this from the begin- ning, you build from the inside out," Spagnuolo said. "You start with the linemen and move your way out." WOMEN'S WORK Team sources recently told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that there was indeed a point during the off-season when Spagnuolo wanted to go defense with the first pick. AN EVENT TO BENEFIT GADUGI SAFECENTER Local Women ARTISTS, WRITERS and PERFORMERS present a Night of WOMEN'S WORK at LAWRENCE ARTS CENTER Saturday April 17, 2010 That may be true, but all signs continue to point to the Rams taking quarterback Sam Bradford of Oklahoma with the first pick in the draft. leaning toward defensive tackles Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska or Gerald McCoy of Oklahoma with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft April 22. By almost universal acclaim, both are regarded as rare talents for the position. But that no longer appears to be case. As early as late February, Spagnuolo insisted that despite his defensive background, he could pull the trigger on a quarterback with the No.1 overall pick. "They're both going to be really good football players," veteran NFL scout Dave Razzano said. "You can't go wrong with either. There hasn't been two d-linemen like this in a while." "Im broadening my spectrum, my thought process," Spagnuolo 7.pm RECEPTION with Drinka Boleska in the Lobby 7-30 PERFORMANCE "I've said this from the beginning, you build from the indside out." joked at the combine. "I know we all get labeled as head coaches - defensive guy, offensive guy - but when you sit in this particular seat that I'm blessed to be in, you've got to look at it as a team." GaDuGi SAFECENTER STEVE SPAGNUOLO St. Louis coach There are practical reasons to feel this way, as one veteran NFL coach bluntly points out. So if Spagnuolo as head coach says that quarterback is what's best for the team at No. 1 overall, then that's what will happen, trenches be damned. They have no game-changers "They're very similar in their skill set," Schwartz said. "If you took Suh to Oklahoma and you took McCoy to Nebraska, I think they'd both excel in the other person's defense." But neither, it appears, will be headed to St. Louis. "Steven jackson's a great player, but the Rams' issue is they have absolutely no game-changers on the football team." said the coach, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "jackson's it. " Which feeds into why you take a talented quarterback prospect (Bradford) over a talented defensive tackle (Suh or McCoy). Simply stated, the quarterback position can change the game more than any other position. Both are projected as top five picks, and many mock drafts have Detroit taking Suh at No. 2 overall and Tampa Bay taking McCoy at No. 3. It has taken years for the roster to deteriorate to this point, the coach said. "And there ain't a guy that's been there that isn't culpable to some degree for it, including the present group." o game-changers on offense. No game-changers on defense." Unless, of course, Spagnuolo wakes up on draft day and has a defensive epiphany.

NBA Kyle Singler considers entering NBA One thing seems clear to Kyle Singler's father as his son ponders whether to enter the NBA Draft or return to Duke for his senior season. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE By leading the Blue Devils to the NCAA championship and winning the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player honor, Singler has improved his draft prospects. Ed Singler said Wednesday that his son was considered an early second-round or late first-round pick before the NCAA Tournament. Now he's considered a solid first-round pick, Ed Singler said, with projections ranging from the low teens to the final few picks of the first round. "The last month or so, how he played and how he performed ... that really did help him," Ed Singler said by telephone from Medford, Ore. "We've heard that." On Tuesday, Singler discussed his options in the Duke basketball office with coach Mike Krzyezewski and assistants Chris Collins and Steve Wojciechowski on a conference call with his parents. Ed Singler said he's uncertain of his son's timetable for a decision, but Duke team spokesman Matt Plizaa said Tuesday that Singler told him that he wants to consider his options over the weekend. Underclassmen have until April 25 to declare for the NBA draft and can withdraw by May 8 as long as they don't sign with an agent. Kyle Singler has told The Oregonian newspaper of Portland, Ore., that he wouldn't "test the waters" by entering the draft with the possibility of withdrawing. Ed Singler said he had not discussed that issue with his son, adding that Kyle had many qualities that NBA executives covet. His son is trying to make a smart business decision, Ed Singler said. He is trying to figure out whether he would be better off leaving now or if he could help himself move up even more in the draft if scouts get to see him play more at Duke. "It's a great position he's put himself in," Ed Singler said. "Whichever way he decides to go, it's a wonderful way to go." NBA The Thunder go to playoffs,will face Los Angeles Lakers OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 31 points to finish the season as the youngest scoring champion in NBA history, and the Oklahoma City Thunder survived a sloppy second half and headed into the postseason with a 114-105 win Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. a 27-point lead dwindle away before closing out its 50th win of the season. The Thunder will meet the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. Oklahoma City let most of Rudy Gay scored 25 points and Zach Randolph had 21 points and 11 rebounds for his 57th double-double of the season as the Grizzlies lost for the ninth time in their final 11 games. Durant had the scoring title all but locked up after a late-season surge that included three 40-point games in April. The 21-year-old finished with an average of 30.1 points, 0.4 ahead of James, and supplanted 22-year-old Max Zaslofsky of the 1947-48 Chicago Stags as the youngest scoring champ in NBA history. A team that started the season as one of the youngest squads in the NBA ended up with the largest improvement from last year. Oklahoma City won 27 games more than last season and made it to the playoffs for the first time in five years.

Upon completion, I sat in nervous anticipation, scouting out the other patrons in the building. I wondered why they were here. Im sure they wondered why I, a 21-year-old college student, would be sitting on the same stiff waiting room chairs in the Lincoln Pediatric Group's family therapy office. It had been 15 years since I had last been in that office. With every turn of a door handle my heart stopped. I didn't know if I would remember the man who documented my words and progress before I even entered kindergarten. They didn't know that I'd been here before. I had been in one-hour sessions twice a week from age 3 to 6, dealing with the repercussions of a childhood trauma. I saw him before he saw me. His hair had a few more shades of grey and he had a gap between his teeth I didn't recall, but his laugh and big kid- at heart dermican or was ceryl familiar. He was the same Dr. George I had played tiddlywinks with on the carpet, and who made coins disappear behind my ear. It had all really happened. I thought. His office seemed completely different and larger than I remembered, but one detail struck me. Sitting on top of the wide desk amidst patient files and miscellaneous scraps of paper was a green glass baton. I was obsessed with it as a little girl. Id run it through my fingers, sending a rush of navy and purple half-moon and star sequins from one end to the other. He smiled at my recognition, and handed it to me. I glanced above the chair where he was sitting, noting the numerous certificates and diplomas framed neatly in rows, and held it together through the introductory small talk. "How's school going? How's your mom? What's your major?" But when he asked me "What's going on?" I fell apart. I had left the "reason for appointment" space blank on the paperwork, not quite knowing how to say why I was here, but knowing that I needed to be. It had taken a year and a half to schedule the session. I saw it as a sign of weakness and defeat. I thought I could handle things on my own. But the disappointment, rejection and insecurity that mounted after freshman year of college weighed me down like gravity. I finally admitted to needing help. I calculated my answers carefully as I gave him the short and sweet summary of my life from age Often, finding the courage to schedule an appointment is harder than the therapy session itself. I admit I was hesitant to write about it because I know it can scare people off. But I have the opportunity to be a voice for others who may not be willing to talk about it. I've learned to disregard people who don't support me, and be hopeful about finding those who will. Check out Anna's story on page 8 to read about the actual, not sigmailized, process of therapy. 6 to 21, filling in the blanks since we had last talked. It felt weird to be spilling my guts to a guy who was still a little faded in my memory. But the great thing about my therapist is he doesn't make it feel like "therapy." It felt like a normal conversation with a close friend, with a bit more interrogation. Talking about my experiences wasn't easy by any means, but I wanted to give myself a chance to move on and stop feeling trapped. After one hour and 43 minutes, I peeled myself off of Dr. George's enveloping couch. I was about to leave, but not before receiving a giant bear hug from a man who I had barely recognized hours before. "It'll be okay, kid," he said. And for once, I actually thought it would be. // KELCI SHIPLEY, ASSOCIATE EDITOR EDITOR// Alex Garrison ASSOCIATE EDITOR// Kelci Shipley Liz Schulte DESIGNERS // Laura Fisk, CONTACT // Lundsy Cleek Ludmila Klimova, Katy Cieszy HEALTH // Adam Vossen Leslie Kinsman, Katy Saunders MANUAL// Emily Johnson, Ben Sullivan NOTICE // Mary Henderson, Abby Olcese, Anna Sobering NAY // Bethany **NOTICE** // Mary Henderson, Abby Olcese, Anna Sobering **PLAY** // Beth Beavers.

Spring is here and with it the chance for romance. This spring, try some alternative dates to get the most out of the good weather. Spring allows us the opportunity to have more novel dates — ditching the boring dinner and a movie for a fun date outdoors can breed romance a lot quicker than you think. The outdoor date is an important one. I don't need to tell you how much more enjoyable they can be. But I think the outdoor day-time date has lost popularity in recent years, and that's a shame. The constant complaint about dates is that people don't know what to say or do. Outdoor dates help combat the problems. Focusing on the activity will take off the pressure you feel to constantly be communicating. Besides the obvious — walking up and down Mass Street, eating outside, or enjoying live music outside, there are a lot of great opportunities for dates in Lawrence. I'm a big fan of going to Clinton Lake. You could enjoy the beach or you could go boating. There is also a golf course nearby where you could hit range balls and have fun. Who cares if you don't play golf, it would be fun and cheap to do your best Tiger impression (non-sexual reference). There is also a great lookout tower on the south side of town. You could be really romantic and have a picnic at any of the many parks Lawrence has to offer. I recommend going to World Market to get your supplies. They have many items that would work perfectly for a picnic. You could even play Frisbee golf off of 9th and Iowa. Purchase a couple disks at Sunflower Bike Shop and be on your way. You could enjoy a baseball game at Hogland Ball Park. You could easily go biking on many of the trails in Lawrence — including the trail right along the river. Sometimes Lawrence shows outdoor movies. If you enjoy your produce you could go to the farmers market or a produce farm and get supplies for the meal you cook later. You could give an outdoor massage (sexual reference). Whatever you decide, outdoor dates are a great way to reduce nerves and build attraction. Besides the endless outdoor dates Lawrence, Kansas City also provides a lot of great opportunities to enjoy the weather. Keep your eye out for opportunities around town such as outdoor concerts, festivals and attractions. If you worry about making a good first impression or building attraction, outdoor dates are for you. Do you have a question for Kansas in Heat? E-mail it to kansasinheat@yahoo.com.

I would have been a hunting or fishing guide, or had my own outdoor adventures show. I'd like to get into that line of work when my playing days are over. Watch Ted Nugent's Spirit of the Wild on Versus and you will want that job, too. I'm a big fan of the guitar. I dropped a couple of scholarship checks throughout my career on amps and gear thinking it would make me sound better, but my playing never really seemed to take off. My friends got tired of hearing the intro to "Crazy Train." I'm a big fan of 80s rock hair-band music. I don't know if I should feel guilty, though, considering Axle Rose and David Lee Roth are the biggest BAs of all time! I'm just looking forward to visiting Lawrence and having some beers and watching the Hawks with fellow alums in the coming years.

Overland Park junior, sighed with relief as she watched her boyfriend. Justin Berry, Kansas City senior, chase his five-month old golden retriever. Shadow, down a golden retriever, shadow, down a sunshine-lit trail at Clinton Lake. Butler says she recalls the couple's first visit to Clinton Lake and remembers feeling a sense of relaxation knowing she was spending time with her boyfriend alone, without her cell phone vibrating in her pocket. Butler and Berry are one of many couples who enjoy using the accommodations offered by Lawrence Parks & Recreation. Although there are 53 parks in Lawrence, Roger Steinbrock, of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, says several of the parks are used more than others because of location and amenities. He says Centennial Park is used frequently, because it features a disc-golf course and skate park. Mutt Run Off-Leash Dog Park is another well-attended area by canine owners and couples. Outdoor activities can offer couples alone time away from their everyday hectic schedules. Parks can also present an opportunity for them to bond in an alternative setting, potentially helping the relationship to blossom and grow stronger. Butler says she saw a positive effect of the outdoors during a bumpy time in their relationship. "We were definitely hitting a rough spot in our relationship and I think it was from constantly being surrounded by other people or things than needed to be done," Butler says. "Now we make time to get out of the house and away from the rest of the world to enjoy some sun and each other's company." Allison Mason, Overland Park junior, and her boyfriend, Martin Swank, say they crave the challenge of finding outdoor activities to enjoy together. "Being outside is so much more exciting than being indoors. We have a change of pace, scenery and we don't have to use our 6-inch voices." Mason says. "Martin has a knack for picking good trees to sit under and peel oranges." Mason and Swank agree that being outside gives them the opportunity to see each other in a way they wouldn't normally if they were inside all the time. Mason says the experience can be more exotic and mysterious because the natural world almost seems unnatural in today's tech-savvy world. "There's something extremely sexy about spending time with interesting, creative people without limitations of walls, distractions or electronics," he says. "The best part is it's free!" Steinbrock says physical activity and exercise can be vital for a relationship. He says taking a walk together can reduce stress and burn calories. Connecting with nature also builds an understanding with the environment and, more importantly, physical activities outside help keep us in shape and create many wonderful memories of shared experiences and activities with family and friends. Outdoor activities can offer not only an alternative way to keep in shape, but the sunshine emits Vitamin D, a key component to a healthier mind and relationship. Vlad Zachary, CEO of CareerConceptZ.com and author of several Ebooks on healthy lifestyles and psychology, says scientists have agreed that the sun is the best source of Vitamin D, which helps our immune system fight off a large number of diseases, including the common cold and some forms of cancer. So healthier bodies can be a critical benefit to relationships. Zachary says a simple picnic in the park with sandwiches and dominoes, extreme Frisbee, biking, water-sports or even jogging could all be fun activities that benefit relationships. The sun allows couples to share new endeavors that in most cases prove beneficial to the relationship. Steinbrock says there's something for all couples offered through the Lawrence Parks and Recreation centers. Students can enroll in any of the 450 activities and programs every season, which range from fitness to dance classes, and from kickball leagues to guitar lessons. Aquatic centers, both indoor and outdoor, nature trails, hiking and biking trails, sand volleyball and adult sports are also available to Lawrence citizens and couples. Alisa Vaysfligel, Lenexa graduate student and Peter Lippert, Tulsa, Okla., senior, have visited the parks within Lawrence, whether it be taking a trip to the dog park at Clinton Lake or biking together downtown. Vaysfligel decided to take the outdoor experience to the next level by getting Lippert a certificate to go skydiving for his birthday. After some persuasion, Lippert and Vaysfligel are planning on redeeming the certificate together along with a ski trip later on in the year. "It will be a new and exhilarating experience for both of us to try for the first time together." Vaysfligel says. "The ski trip will also be a lot of fun for the both of us. Not only is it a vacation from our day to day lives, but we will get to do fun, active things in a whole new setting."

Couples can get away from typical dinner and a movie dates by going on a walk, playing sports or just soaking up the sun outside. SUNSHINE SOUNDS Here are a few sunshine-inspired songs to turn up and brighten your day on the way to you and your lover's outdoor activity destination: "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" — ROY AYERS "Good Day Sunshine" — THE BEATLES "Sunshine of Your Love" — CREAM "Sunshine In A Bag" — GORILLAZ "Hello Sunshine" — SUPER FURRY ANIMALS "Sunshine Sunshine" --- JAMES TAYLOR "You Are The Sunshine of My Life" --- STEVIE WONDER "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" — THE FIFTH DIMENSION 7 04 15 10 --- NOTICE Q&A // DAVE PROWSE — DRUMMER, VOCALIST OF JAPANDROIDS because we have questions, celebrities have answers. // ALEX GARRISON Vancouver-reared indie two-piece Japandroids, made up of Dave Prowse and Brian King, received great critical acclaim for their 2009 debut. PostNothing. The band began in 2006 as an outlet for the pair's "post-teenage angst" following their college graduation, King says. In songs such as "Young Hearts Spark Fire" and "Wet Hair", Prowse and guitarist and vocalist King energetically lament the frustrations of youth. Prowse spoke with Jayplay about simplicity, angst and the weirdness of magazines before the band's Lawrence show last Tuesday. TOMMY AND RICKY Japandroids has a bit of a punk sensibility in its directness, but is also really catchy and smart. Where does your sound come from? Post-everything Japandroids, made up of guitarist Brian King (light) and drummer/vocalist Dave Prawse, say they're not restricted by the **Contributed photo** fact there's just two of them — their sound is big and energetic. DP Brian and I met in university and went to a lot of shows together and talked about certain bands, but for a long time, doing our own thing wasn't something we really got involved in. When we decided to go for it, we thought direct, simple music should be what we go for. It's definitely kind of punk-ish, but not punk at the same time. We like a lot of really aggressive music but there's still a lot of melody in ours. When you're writing songs, are you able to produce that simplicity easily or do you have to go back and cut things out to make it more direct? It's hard to say because it's not like there's a set formula for how we write every song. As time as has gone on, we've gotten better at making the music we want to write — something that's really heartfelt and has a lot of energy, something really direct. Sometimes, we'll have a really straight-forward song that'll just come together and that'll be great, but most of the time, it does require some editing, some work to trim the of some of the fat. What's the most important goal you have for your music? DP: One of the basic goals we had was to always play with a lot of energy. We love those bands who play really passionately and put on a good show and the kind of records where you can hear people are playing hard and putting everything into it. If we're not playing hard, we're not playing. It's just how we've always rolled. Two-piece bands aren't unheard of, but are a bit rare. How do you think it changes how you do things,it being just the two of you? DP. There's a lot of advantages to being in a two-piece, but one of the things that naturally happens when you're in a two-piece is that everyone wants to compare you with other two-piece bands, even if they have nothing to do with you. Everyone tries to compare us to bands like the White Stripes and No Age, but we're not at all similar to those bands. We both really enjoy this format, though, because it gives us the space to play our hearts out in a way you can't really do when you have more members and have to balance different instruments. We can both go for broke, which is a fun way to play, especially when you're playing drums. DP Another word that gets thrown around about your style is "angst." Are you particularly angsty guys? No, I don't think we're all that angsty. I think we're pretty all-around happy guys. It's so funny because Brian will write these "angsty" things on our MySpace half as a joke and you don't really realize how many people are going to see it and how they'll react to it. How is the Canadian music scene different than the American music business? DP. The Canadian music world is a strange kind of thing. Vancouver is a really hard place to get known because the next big city is a five-hour plane ride away. There's just a huge distance and it's hard, as well, because it's really hard to get into the music scene in the States till you've already generated a lot of buzz. It's a weird place because American culture is so dominate and you're living just north of the biggest music market in the world by fan, but if you're unknown, you can't really get your music to those people. Now, we're touring a lot more in the states and selling more records in the states than in Canada. Post Nothing was placed highly on a lot of best-of lists, including Pitchfork and Spin, and last year. How does that feel? It's obviously very flattering to make it onto these lists with lost of other really great records. It's been a pretty strange year for us — really exciting and fun, but really absurd. It's hard to describe how weird it is to see yourself in a magazine. It's strange and wonderful. 04 15 10 8 NOTICE ((( Q&A // TYLER HILTON — ACTOR, MUSCIAN because we have questions. celebrities have answers. // MARY HENDERSON Although you might not recognize his name, Tyler Hilton has accomplished a lot in his career. He's acted alongside Robert Downey, Jr. in Charlie Bartlett and Reese Witherspoon in Walk the Line, written songs with Lady Antebellum, and played One Tree Hill's bad boy, Chris Keller. Now, he's set to go on tour with Spill Canvas, supporting his new EP, Ladies and Gentlemen, coming out next Tuesday, April 20. LONDON SUNDAY 24 JULY 2015 Why did you decide to put out a five-song EP instead of a whole album? five-song EP instead of a whole album? Tyler Hilton I'm going to put out the whole album, The Storms We Share, sometime in the late summer. But instead of putting all the songs out together, I want to give each song its day. I've been working on this record for so long that it feels weird to just to put them all out at once. I put out the first song, "Keep On," and I'll probably put another one out in the next couple of months. JP You played in Lawrence in 2005 on the One Tree Hill tour with The Wreckers. Do you remember your time in Lawrence? TH: Lawrence is like Vegas to me. Every time I'm in Lawrence, I party so hard ... [laughs] I just can't remember. I'm sure if I drive through there again, I'll be like "oh yeah." A man of many talents Tver Hilton not only writes his own songs, but performs them on guitar, and has collaborated with Lady Antebellum. He even delivered a bit into the world of acting, starring as Chris Keller on "One Tree Hill." Hilton has played a show in Lawrence before, and enjoys interacting with the college crowd JP How do you plan to market your music to the college crowd? Contributed photo TH. I have people who help me at the label and have different things they think would be really cool, like certain blogs that would be great to post my music on or certain interviews at different colleges like this. But my main thing is that I love touring. I think the reason my music connects with college kids is because live music seems to be really important. I think college kids would rather I play a show than come do a signing or come do an interview. For some reason, college kids are the most interesting musical audience to me. They're the most questioning, the most ambitious and the biggest risk takers music-wise. I feel honored to have them come to my show. Who has been your favorite collaborator so far? TH: It has to be Lady Antebellum. We were all friends and we lived together in Nashville a few years ago. They were just kind of hanging out and writing songs. They were cool enough to let me record a song I wrote with them called "Ain't A Thing," and they came in and sang on it. It's so funny that my friends are doing so well. JP You write a lot of songs about girls. Has anyone written a song about you? TH: I had some girls write some songs about me, which is pretty cool because I'm always writing songs about other people. It's super flattering. It's like you're immortalized. I wouldn't mind having a song written about me in a bad way either, like "you're an asshole." That's cool. I guess I was such an important asshole in their life that they wrote a song about me. I think girls should feel the same way when I've written songs about them. JP If you hit random on your iPod, what comes up first? TH. I'll do it right now. I hope it's not something embarrassing, but if it is, whatever, we're just going to go with it. We'll let everyone in Kansas know who I really am. It's Vampire Weekend's "Horchata." Killer song. JP What's your favorite Robert Downey, Jr. movie? TH: I need to refresh my brain on Robert Downey, Jr. movies, because I'm going to make the answer a little more interesting than his best movie he's ever done, Charlie Bartlett. That's so far ahead of every movie he's ever done that we won't count that as an actual movie. It's more of a piece of art. You know what my favorite movie he's ever done is? Bar None. JP Anything else you would like to add? TH: I have a very special message for the kids at the University of Kansas. Let's be Twitter friends. It's *atyrbellion*. Let's put all the differences aside and be Twitter friends. 9 04 15 10 WIFI NOTICE tomorrow's news // ZAP ZITS WITH ZENO HOT SPOT The worst way to wake up in the morning is with a big red zit on your face. To get rid of these annoying problem pimples, the new and affordable Zeno Hot Spot could do the trick. Instead of using messy topical creams or trying to cover it up with makeup, the Zeno Hot Spot clears up skin by using sustained heat for two and a half minutes to destroy the bacteria that causes pimples. First released by Zeno in 2005, the FDA approved and dermatologist recommended product was expensive, selling for about $225. In January, the company released the much more affordable product, the Zeno Hot Spot, which retails at $40 and can be found online and at local pharmacies. Zeno's board certified dermatologist. Dr. Gervaise Gerstner, says the Zeno Hot Spot is the most effective way to treat emerging pimples. "In the past I probably would've recommended a strong topical treatment and perhaps an ice cube or hot pack," she says. "Now there is a way to kill the bacteria at its source, which stops the pimple from growing. The Zeno Hot Spot delivers enough heat to kill the bacteria that causes blemishes to surface and worsen. Simply put, it's an extremely effective over-the-counter way to treat blemishes at the first sign of a breakout." The Zeno Hot Spot will perform about 80 treatments and indicator lights on the device show how many uses it has left. For best results, Myzeno.com recommends using the Zeno Hot Spot on a newly emerging pimple two or three times during a period of 24 hours. // ANNA SOBERING ZENQ Contributed photo Zit japper Zeno's Hot Spot uses heat to clear up the bacteria that can cause pimples.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT How to be PC when considering others' feelings before making a comment // ANNA SOBERING Watch your mouth. When it comes to being politically correct, the most important thing is to consider other people's feelings. Topics such as race, religion and sexual orientation may be touchy for some people so keep your opinions to yourself if they could be considered offensive. O her hand and the teacher points to the back indicating her turn to speak. n the first day of class, a young woman sits at the back of the room within the grid of chairs, desks and attentive students that surround her. She raises "My boyfriend and his friends called me 'half-dyke' because I'm taking this women's studies class," she says. Her friend, sitting beside her, clarifies, "She's dating a frat-boy," she says, and chuckles under her breath. This situation, a perfect example of politically incorrect humor, may be offensive, however, it continues to be a form of joking used every day. In the past 20 years, a movement to include politically correct speech and prohibit politically incorrect jokes has become popular, but many people have yet to catch on. Society has obviously changed as an emphasis to be politically correct, or "PC," becomes more prevalent. Edward Johnson, associate professor of communication studies at Campbell University, says the change is an indication we are moving from a modern to a postmodern society where the fear of offending, rather than the search of truth, becomes paramount. "This change in society results in what we call 'culture wars,' he says. "The postmodern person uses politically correct terms in an attempt not to be judgmental or offensive." Many times, people today fall short of the expectation to "do no harm." Offensive words such as "fag" and "whore" are still frequently used. Jenn Hunt, Wichita senior, says speech such as this is stupid and ignorant. "People need to use fair language and use it with discretion," she says. "You have to think about what you say before you say it. It's not always easy, but it's essential." Speech, however, should be controlled by no one else but the person speaking. Hunt says. In the '90s, the "PC" boom brought speech codes and restrictive policies to many college campuses. Since then, legal challenges have deemed many of these rules unconstitutional because they act as infringements on freedom of speech and expression. Francine Ward, attorney and former diversity trainer, agrees that speech codes legally violate freedom of speech. Ethically, however, she says she believes people should use politically correct speech. "There is a need for rules and structure in how we behave and communicate with one another," she says. "Because we live in a world where diversity is a reality, with it comes human concerns which need to be addressed and often tempered." On the spectrum of political incorrectness, humor is the stickiest issue. It's just a joke, right? "When it speaks to your core and brings up years of discrimination somehow it doesn't seem so funny," Ward says. Offensive jokes probably won't go away anytime soon. So use discretion. To be more politically correct, Ward says to take the time to ask before using a word or phrase that might be offensive. "Check in with people to see how they feel," she says. "Ask how they would like to be referred to." For example, some folks don't mind being called Black, others prefer African American. Some prefer Latino and others, Hispanic. It doesn't take much if you are in conversation with a person to ask what's appropriate for them." Whitney Lampier, Barrington, Ill., senior, says it all depends on the people and the situation. "If it's just a group of friends or people you don't know making jokes, how others perceive them is based on their background and in what context these jokes are being told," she says. "My friends and I joke around about my ethnicity but I know they don't really mean it. But I tell them to stop when there are other Asians around because they could take it the wrong way." Ultimately, the issue of being politically correct comes down to balance, discretion and thoughtfulness. Hunt says. The best way to do this is to think about the feelings of others and think about what you say before you say it. $Jp$ 11 04 15 10 ★ FEATURE therapy De-stigmatizing negative assumptions about counseling and psychotherapy // ANNA SOBERING acing the end of a four-and-a-half year relationship, Caroline Howard. Pittsburg junior, felt she needed guidance to help solve problematic issues in her life. Instead of going to her family or friends for help, she wanted to speak to a neutral party who could give her objective advice. For about eight months during her freshman year, Howard saw a therapist. "Initially I was hesitant because I was afraid of the answers I might hear," she says. "But I needed a solution. It was hard to speak so openly about some of the most private parts of my life, but I knew if I didn't I wouldn't get the help that I needed." With guidance from her therapist, Howard realized that she needed to end her long-term relationship. "I realized I couldn't do anything to fix it," she says. "I also learned to have a healthier outlook on future relationships and not to make the same mistakes." Although therapy greatly helps people like Howard deal with issues that seem stressful and overwhelming, there continues to be a notion that therapy doesn't work or that it's only for weak people who can't handle their own problems. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL STIGMA Looking back on her initial anxiety about seeing a therapist, Howard wishes she hadn't been embarrassed to seek treatment. "It's sad that therapy has such a stigma because it's really a helpful thing" she says. "It's very common to think like this because it's hard to admit you need help from others. It's weird because people are comfortable going to get tutoring for classes and learning from books, but not necessarily learning something new about themselves." Danya Goodman, a doctoral student in clinical psychology and therapist at the KU Psychological Clinic, says mental health is widely misunderstood. "It's seen as this big and scary thing, but it's not," she says. "One in four people are going to be depressed at some point in their lives. That's 25 percent the population. So getting therapy can't be that weird." Susan E. Lawrence, M.D., is the founder and executive director of the Catalyst Foundation, a southern California-based nonprofit that focuses on childhood abuse and trauma. She says the world needs to know that there is nothing wrong with getting therapy. "It needs to be promoted that having emotional issues is just another part of the human experience," she says. "There is nothing shameful about that. Some things we just can't heal on our own." Although the stigma has decreased somewhat through the years, the belief that therapy is a sign of weakness remains. John Wade, licensed psychologist and outreach coordinator at the University's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), says this couldn't be further from the truth. "It is actually a sign of courage," he says. "It takes a lot of strength to admit that you need to work on yourself." HOW THERAPY HELPS Students can benefit from therapy because it's likely to help with academic success. Wade says. Most students drop out of school not because of academia, but because of other emotional issues such as homesickness and problems in relationships or with roommates. Because therapy helps people control their emotions, it can also help students stay in school. Tina B. Tessina, psychotherapist and author of Money, Sex and Kids: Stop Fighting about the Three Things That Can Ruin Your Marriage, says therapy helps people learn more about themselves, manage their emotions and change behavior. "By overcoming your 'autophobia,' fear of yourself, and getting comfortable with your feelings, you can turn them from ugly emotions into useful ones." Among the many ways therapy can be beneficial to those who seek it out, Tessina says getting control of your impulses is key to living a balanced life. "When you're in control of your impulses, you don't have temper tantrums, drink too much or let your other 'animal impulses' take over," she says. "Learning to manage your feelings and act responsibly will get you more of what you want from life." WHEN TO LOOK FOR A THERAPIST People go to therapy for many different reasons. Whether it's because of problems with anxiety, anger or relationships, seeking the help of a therapist is a positive step toward improving yourself and feeling better. For me, anxiety was my motivation to see a therapist. "It was hard to speak so openly about some of the most private parts of my life, but I knew if I didn't I wouldn't get the help I needed." — Caroline Howard, Pittsburg junior As a child, I was always the kid who cried when my parents left. When I went to camp in grade school I would spend most of my time with the nurse begging her to let me go home. After years of my parents picking me up in the middle of the night at sleepovers, I began to compare myself to other kids who seemed perfectly happy in their lives, acting independently and having fun. I thought something was wrong with me. After dealing with years of separation anxiety, my parents and I decided it was time for me to go see a therapist when I was 14. It's been seven years since I began seeing my therapist and I have built an open and truthful relationship with her. I have gone through times when everything is good and I don't see her as much. But in the times when my life has been overwhelmingly difficult, she has been instrumental in helping me work through my problems. Issues that frequently cause students to see a therapist include: - If you are having trouble adjusting to life in college. For example, you may be overwhelmed by the freedom and independence you have. - If you are having difficulty managing your time balancing school and your social life. - If you are partying more than you go to classes, drinking frequently on weeknights, or becoming sick because of alcohol or drug intake. - If you have a hostile attitude when you get angry, which sometimes turns into violent behavior. - If you are having a hard time making friends, avoiding social situations because of nervousness or are having problems with anxiety or panic attacks. - If you feel sad so frequently that you find yourself sleeping too much or not sleeping enough. - If you feel pressure about the way you look. If you find yourself not eating enough food, making yourself sick or eating too much. - If you are having a hard time dealing with family issues such as communication, infidelity, divorce, illness or death. - If you are in a relationship where you are fighting a lot, dealing with trust issues, sexual issues or break-ups. - If you are having trouble in your living situation, with roommates or friends. - If you are having financial issues such as debt not being able to pay for school or rent. HOW TO FIND A THERAPIST WHO'S RIGHT FOR YOU Finding a therapist is easy. "Licensed counselors of every sort exist everywhere, and they can be found in the phone book or online," Tessina says. "Finding the right counselor is harder but critically important to your success in counseling." The best way to find this person is through 04 12 15 10 FEATURE ★ The image depicts two individuals seated in a living room setting.

Photo illustration by Tanner Grubb Talking it out. Telling a complete stranger about the most personal experiences of your life may seem weird at first, but therapy can be beneficial to your health. Alleviating problems can allow you to regain focus on academics, relationships and other commitments. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable taking to is key and will hopefully give you the best chance for a positive experience. people you know. Lawrence says you should get a referral from someone who has benefited under the therapist's care. Howard found her counselor on recommendation from a family member who had seen him in the past. You should know several things about a therapist before you see one, Tessina says. Be sure to find out about credentials, expertise, how much it's going to cost and if the therapist's office takes your insurance. If you don't feel comfortable asking for referrals from other people, go online and research a therapist before making an appointment. Doing research and covering all your bases should leave you feeling confident in the competency and expertise of the therapist you have chosen. But you have to remember, someone who is good for one person might not be a good fit for another. So don't get discouraged if the first therapist you see doesn't work out. Goodman says the relationship between you and your therapist is unique. "It's a different type of relationship," she says. "It takes time to build up trust. It's all about the chemistry between the two of you. If it doesn't work out, it's not a big deal. You don't have to feel bad about it. Your therapist isn't going to be mad or hurt if you want to see someone else." WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THERAPY Initially, your therapist will want to know about your background, your family and what motivated you to seek therapy. Goodman says. During this time, there is no reason for you to be nervous or self-conscious. The therapist is there not to judge you, but to help work out problems. "It doesn't need to be this huge psychological examination," Goodman says. "You don't have to be really depressed to go to therapy. Everyone can benefit from it by exploring and talking about what's important. It's a good place to talk things out in a positive and supportive way." In addition to the typical individual talk- therapy sessions that most people choose as their preferred method of counseling, there are many diverse techniques and approaches to therapy that are available. Whether it's through individual or group therapy, Lawrence says the best way to approach your problems is by finding the root cause of your suffering. "It's excellent if KEEPING AN OPEN MIND the therapist you see is skilled at getting down to cause of people's issues," she says. Even if you don't go to therapy,you should realize it can be beneficial for many people. So keep an open mind about it. It's entirely possible that we could have less abuse, violence, hatred and sadness in this world if more people were in therapy.Because emotional issues are a normal part of life,therapy will always be a good source for people to address their issues and positively work toward self improvement.

When your friends are talented musicians, you kind of have to start a band. That's what happened to the Dactyls. John Bergwell knew his brother, Nick, and friend, Brendan Costello, were the best guitarists he knew. "Nick's the kind of guy who will sit and play for hours just because he really enjoys playing," Bergwell says. So four years ago, they started a band. With drummer John Momberg, they recorded two 7-inch singles and released an EP. Mombeg left the band late last year to play with the Appleseed Cast and Old Cane, and was replaced by Dan Benson. The Dactyls played South by Southwest in 2009 and while in Austin recorded a full length LP that was produced and mixed for free by producer Jim Vollentine, who has worked with bands such as And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead and Spoon. They spent two weeks at Jack Rock's Tree Fort Studios, which is home to a huge collection of classic gear, including tube mics and old amps. The band used the retro gear and recorded analog, on 2-inch tapes, to achieve their characteristic sound. // BETH BEAVERS "It's loud." Bergwell says. "It's rock music." because not many bands do it. Its loud, Bergween says. Its so loud. Bergwell, who plays bass, says they use alternative tuning and inverted phrasing to make their music more textured. The tuning defines their sound The band is in the process of looking for a label to release their LP. But they love being productive and writing new music. They have already finished writing another album. They will go back to Austin in late spring and record it with Volleintine producing again. this weekend // STOMP THE HILL because those CSI marathons are getting old.

Omega Theta chapter is stepping in the competition and has rehearsed since February. Caryn Smith, Leavenworth senior and chapter president, says stepping is one of the characteristics the sorority is recognized for. "Using your body to make rhythms and beats is really entertaining." Smith says. She says despite grueling three hour practices, she's created a close bond with her sorority members. Brianna Berkley, Wichita junior and chapter vice president, says the performers want the audience to be involved in the show by shouting words of encouragement and clapping. She says the audience involvement creates an intense and lively atmosphere. Although the stepping competition is the main event, the line-up also includes a variety of other performances such as a drill team comprised of young children, Unity dance troupe and a DJ. First place receives a cash prize and second and third place winners receive a trophy.

To get the most of your vintage shopping experience, try doing a little research about pieces and styles you're interested in before you leave the house. a mong a pile of handbags in a vintage store, a gold clutch from the 80s caught Becca Harsch's attention. Harsch, Lyndon senior, was instantly mesmerized by the chain-strap detailing and the large elephant pendant adorned on the clutch. "If you get something from a vintage store you know nobody else is going to have it around here," Harsch says. "You know it's one-of-a-kind." Although it's been two years, that clutch remains a staple in her wardrobe and is her favorite piece in her closet. Harsch wasn't expecting to discover such a rare find, but she educated herself about all things vintage. Vintage items date back to about 20 years or older and relate to a specific era. Shopping for vintages pieces can be intimidating because you're scouring through piles and racks of different items. When buying vintage clothing shoppers should consider the age, condition and size of the item, the store's return policy, as well as allow enough time to shop and do research on other vintage stores. Then you can make a properly informed decision when entering a vintage store. RETURN POLICY Harsch has been shopping vintage since high school when she started buying dresses. She turned to vintage shopping as an alternative to still be fashionable, but remain within her budget. Harsch says the first rule to consider is that you shouldn't buy vintage pieces on impulse. She says vintage stores aren't trying to fool consumers and sell everything in its current condition. Although vintage stores check the condition of each piece, they might miss an item that has a small defect. Some vintage stores don't allow returns, so it's important to ask the employees what the return policy is. If you're willing to spend the money, however much it costs, the item should be something you won't regret buying. RESEARCH "if you get something from a vintage store, you know nobody else is going to have it around here. you know it's one of-a-kind." Phil Chiles, owner of Wild Man Vintage. - BECCA HARSCH, LYNDON SENIOR 939 Massachusetts St., says you shouldn't enter a vintage store with high expectations. "With vintage stuff it's totally unpredictable what you're going to find." Chiles says. He suggests doing research beforehand. If there's a particular item or era of style you're interested in, check out other vintage stores or online to see how common or rare the piece is. You can also research what labels and designers were popular during a specific era, which can reveal whether an item is vintage or not. Chiles says by researching you can compare the pricing among other businesses. He says larger cities sell vintage at a much higher price compared to smaller cities. TIME 04 15 16 10 When you shop at the mall or department stores there's a certain amount of predictability for consumers — you expect there will be multiple sizes and colors of each item. But when you shop at a vintage store each item is unique and typically there's only one of its kind. Erin Houston, Wichita junior, has been shopping PLAY Mia vintage shops Arizona Trading Company: 736 Massachusetts Street Lawrence Antique Mall: 830 Massachusetts Street nakedvintage.etsy.com nomelikeitvintage.com Wild Man Vintage: 939 Massachusetts Street of its kind. Erin Houston, Wichita junior, has been shopping in vintage stores since she was in high school. She suggests allowing enough time to rummage through a variety of items in the store. "It's kind of like a treasure chest." Houston says. "You have no idea what you're going to find in there." Being patient is the key to shopping vintage because it can be time consuming. AGE AND CONDITION Michael Palladino, adjunct professor of the fashion department at Laboratory Institute of Management College in New York, says shoppers should consider the age and condition of the piece. "If I were looking for vintage now, I would look inside of the garment just as much as I'd look on the outside." Palladino says. He suggests examining the stylistic features and fabrics that were unique to that era. The 50s were known for full skirts and scarves, while the 80s were famous for neon colors and stonewashed denim. Since vintage clothing dates back to 20 years ago and older, the life span of the fabric depends on how well the previous owner took care of it. Inspect the clothing and texture for any holes or defects in the garment. If it's an accessory such as jewelry or a belt make sure the stones or buckles aren't missing. It might be more difficult and expensive to find a replacement piece for the accessory. SIZE Palladino says the sizes and shapes of people have evolved throughout the decades, so size is an important factor. For example, he says during the 40s and 50s a majority of American women had a more ample figure with wider hips and a larger bust whereas women of today strive for a slimmer figure. Sizes vary from each decade and the number on the label might actually be a size smaller. Today, what used to be a size 10 is now a size 8. Don't be afraid to try on the garment at the store and ignore the size. Vintage clothing can allow you to experiment with your current wardrobe and transport you to a different time and place. "Fashion is like a pendulum and vintage is everything that has happened before us," Palladino says. "For the college student that's looking for a unique way of expressing him or herself, vintage could be the solution." 17 PLAY jayplay says // JUMP ON THE MUSICAL BANDWAGON It doesn't seem like it now, but your favorite TV show is about to get a makeover. With the success of Glee, musical episodes of shows are popping up all over the place. What first began with the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has now turned into other shows becoming musical. Before Glee became a hit, musical television shows had yet to conquer the airwaves. Some shows would have one or two episodes where characters broke out into song. The first time this worked better than expected was the 2001 episode of Buffy entitled "Once More, with Feeling." Not only was it one of the best rated episodes of the series, but it also spawned a CD of the music from the episode. Since then, shows have steered clear of musical episodes. Shows such as Viva Laughlin have tried and failed at achieving success as a musical show. That is, until last year's break out success, Glee. The hour-long sitcom revolves around high school glee club members who tend to break out in song during everyday events. This has sparked other programs going with the Glee formula. Recent episodes of How I Met Your Mother have had its stars singing and dancing on occasion. One of the show's stars, Neil Patrick Harris, is also making a cameo on Glee under the direction of Joss Whedon, who directed "Once More, with Feeling." Given this formula, it is only a matter of time before CS/ gets a musical makeover. // MARY HENDERSON glee glee glee glee glee glee glee glee glee glee Contributed photo Giddy for glee: FOX's new musical comedy.

"The conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com," says Laura Galloway, head of media relations for the TED conferences. The website has more than 630 talks translated into 80 languages. A new talk is put up each weekday. The talks could be anything from mental magic shows to illustrated population data trends. Videos are rated under categories such as courageous, inspiring, beautiful or jaw-dropping. At the 2007 TED conference, Dean Kamen, the man behind the Segway, premiered a new prosthetic arm for amputees. Others among the hundreds who have presented during the years are Malcolm Gladwell, who gave a speech on spaghetti sauce and happiness, and comedian John Hodgeman, who spoke on alien life. Bill Gates gave a presentation on energy consumption and Bill Clinton presented on providing healthcare around the world. The original TED talk was founded 25 years ago and has expanded over time. "The conference has spread far beyond these [original] three themes to include virtually any idea worth spreading, be it science, the arts, global development and beyond," Galloway says. // BEN SULLIVAN TED Contributed Photo Viral knowledge.

Napping in neurobiology? Keeping up your energy for class is more than just chugging Red Bull every morning // ADAM VOSSEN START PLANNING GOVERNMENT Crash and burn. Not petting enough sleep can cause drowsiness during the day. Passing out during a lecture doesn't help you ace that test, so consider boosting your energy with either more sleep or a nutritional snack during the day. Trail mix, for example, is easy to make and pack for the trek to campus. Next time your eyelids are feeling heavy, just reach for a healthy pick-me-up. Photo illustration by Mia Iverson when going into a class. Andrew Sigler knows what to expect. His mind starts to wander, his eyelids grow heavy and he finds himself nodding off in the middle of a lecture. He leaves class with half-hearted notes and a fogy idea of what the professor was talking about. The basics of health — sleep, exercise and a balanced diet — are what keep our bodies going through classes, tests and extracurricular activities. The average college student needs eight to nine hours of sleep a night. A balanced diet doesn't consist of beer, pizza and Ramen noodles. Regular exercise should consist of more than a p crawl on Mass Street. When any (or usually the case, all) of the factors of health take a hit, so do our GPAs. Getting those extra hours of shut-eye might seem impossible, but eating better and fitting fitness into your schedule is easier than you might think. FOOD FOR THOUGHT Before his classes in the afternoon, Sigler. Lawrence junior, will usually have a bowl of cereal or a small snack for lunch. Often, this is his first meal of the day. Trying to fit a meal into a busy schedule by hurriedly scarfing down food can also cause fatigue. If you're eating too fast, your body becomes focused on your stomach and digesting the food, not your brain and registering how full you are, says Elaine Wilkes, author of Nature's Secret Messages: Hidden in Plain Sight. Cereals are high in simple sugars, which cause your body to quickly produce insulin followed by a crash in energy level, says Matt Goodmote, physical therapist and health writer. Protein is Goodmote's best bet on a consistent energy level. Protein takes longer for the body to digest, so the sugar is slowly released into the bloodstream, keeping your energy up longer than simple sugars found in oft-eaten foods such as chips, cookies and crackers. "Food can be a sedative — too much will make you tired." Wilkes says. Foods that give other people energy might not always have the same effect for you, she says. Wilkens encourages people to "play detective," taking note of what they eat and when they feel tired. This will lead you to make a connection between the two so you can avoid the foods that don't do your body good. Having snacks throughout the day is a good way to keep energy up as well as stimulate your metabolism, but not all snacks are helpful. Stay away from soda, which is not only acidic for your body but is also high in sugar and causes the crash mentioned above. Wilkes says. Matt Nahirstedt, St. Charles, Mo., junior, usually has a citrus fruit before a class he knows will make him tired, but this strategy isn't always effective. Fresh fruit is good for you, but doesn't pack the energy punch needed to make it through a PowerPoint lecture. Besides providing an energy boost, snacks can also be made easily and cheaply, Goodmote says. A Ziploc baggy of trail mix, heavy on the nuts and short on the M&Ms, is an easily-made treat for your mid-afternoon slump. Yogurt or peanut butter and bananas are also healthy and cheap choices. WHEN YOUR METABOLISM GOES MISSING In high school, Nahrstedt was on the swim and water polo team. He went to practices four to five days a week for the majority of the school year. Although he is involved in the swim and water polo club teams at the University, he usually only attends practices two days a week. He says practices aren't as vigorous as they were in high school. "I'm eating healthier than I did in high school. 04 15 20 10 HEALTH + Photo illustration by Mia Iverson An apple a day. Eating healthy food keeps your body in good shape, but so does getting enough sleep a night. College students face obstacles such as tests, stress, and social events, all of which can interfere with having enough time to snooke. Allocating enough hours a night for sleep can keep you physically and mentally awake but the weeks where I don't work out I see the weight come back easier." Nahrstedt says. Nahrstedt also has difficulty staying awake in class. Even though exercise can be a tiring experience, when done regularly it can provide your body with energy as well as better sleep. fatigue. Wenner says more than four or five one hour workouts in a week may be overdoing it. The transition from high school to college coincides with the transition from the teens to the 20s, when most people's metabolism begin to stabilize, says Becky Wenner, personal trainer and founder of Becky's Fitness Company. Wenner says there are factors that have an impact on a Finding the time for exercise doesn't mean setting aside an hour a day at the gym. Both Wenner and Goodmote say that simply walking or riding your bike to class can help. A cardio workout in the morning is also a good way to increase energy levels as well as help with sleep at night, they say. Over-exercising can attribute to "Whatever it is, be sure that you eat appropriately for your workout for that day," she says. person's energy level. "A person who is fit tends to exercise, get proper rest, eat a decent diet and consequently has less weight to carry around with them all day." IT'S PAST YOUR BEDTIME For 20 semesters, Paulyn Cartwright has taught Biology 100, one of the most widely taken classes on campus. Cartwright used to have that class at 8 a.m., but has moved the class to the afternoon because as many as 100 out of the 800 students in class would be sleeping or dozing off. According to Dr. Carl Johnson, most students only get around six hours of sleep during the week and as much as 10 or 12 hours of sleep a night on the weekends. This disrupts the body's circadian rhythm. Johnson says. Circadian rhythm is the pattern your body goes through each day and is why you may feel tired at the same time each night or wake up at a certain time in the morning without an alarm. When you're going to bed or waking up at times that don't mesh with your circadian rhythm drowsiness is a side effect. Johnson is currently doing research on sleep at Central Michigan University and says sleep deprivation has a terrible effect not only on a student's ability to stay awake in class, but also on the absorption of material. Johnson says most people feel fatigued mid-afternoon, which is why so many cultures have naps at this time. If you do take a nap, it should be no longer than 20 or 30 minutes, he says. Any longer and your nap could be another factor that throws off your circadian rhythm. Johnson also encourages students to be aware of what times of the day are the worst for them and what classes put them to sleep the fastest. “Make sure you schedule class around times when you know you wont be tired or make time in your schedule for a quick nap,” he says. "Your body tries to tell you what's good for it, you just have to listen." Wilkes says. How engaging a professor is in class greatly affects Nahrstedt's ability to stay, Johnson, who is also a professor, agrees with Nahrstedt and aims to be charismatic when lecturing by involving students and doing more than just stand behind the podium or click through a PowerPoint presentation.

One is the disconfited king of situational comedy. The other is its snatky, horn-rimmed queen. Yes, Steve Carell and Tina Fey have finally joined forces for an onscreen fling of epic proportions. So why is their Date Night such a clumsy miss-fire? The movie suffers from its too familiar set-up, which begins with yet another case of mistaken identity. Phil Foster (Carell) and his wife, Claire (Fey), are an innocuous couple from upper-middle class New Jersey suburbia, hoping to rekindle their lackluster marriage with an impromptu night on the town. While trying to find a table at the swankiest of New York bistros, the Fosters unwisely impersonate another couple to claim their reservations. They barely have time to order an over-priced truffle risotto before being accosted by armed hoodlums in the employ of local mobster Joe Miletto (Ray Liotta). The goons are convinced that the Fosters are in fact the Tripleleorns, a husband and wife team of blackmailers that have stolen a flash-drive full of compromising secrets. After an improbable escape, Phil and Claire try to clear their names by tracking down the real Triplehorns. Aiding them on their quest is Holbrooke (Mark Wahlberg), a perpetually shirtless security expert who Claire knows from her work in real estate. The rest of Date Night mostly consists of the Fosters running from the thugs, intercut with distracting diatribes about how to make modern marriage work in the long run. Maybe that's why many of the jokes fall flat. The performers barely have time to catch their breath. That's a shame, because casting is the film's only definite strength. Wahlberg, shrugging off a recent slump at the box office, is becoming very adept at self-deprecation, James Franco and Mila Kunis are both uproarious as the actual Tripplehorns. And Carell and Fey are such an obvious pairing that their chemistry together is almost a foregone conclusion. But their inspired lunacy is hindered at every turn by insipid dialogue and uninspired direction by genre workhorse Shawn Levy. By the time Date Night ended, I felt like I'd just been stood up by two of the funniest people in Hollywood. ★★★☆ // LANDON MCDONALD movie review // 'HOT TUB TIME MACHINE' hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. Hot Tub Time Machine is a movie you want to rent — don't waste your money to see it at the theater. Yes, it's funny, and yes it has a somewhat star-studded cast, but, just rent it. Anticipated as the next The Hangover, Hot Tub Time Machine fails to deliver. Instead, you are greeted with a time-traveling spoof that harbors good intentions and moral lessons on life and friendship, but is severely buried in the ridiculously and inappropriately obscene character of Lou (Rob Corddry) also known as "The Violator." After walking out of the theater, I actually felt violated by his character. Lou is accompanied by Adam (John Cusack), the recently single middle-aged man who doesn't know what his next move is. Nick Webber (Craig Robinson, The Office), the has-been rock star who is whole-heartedly dedicated to his wife, and Jacob (Clark Duke), the twenty-something loner who is Adam's nephew and housemate. Like all time-traveling movies, TV shows, books, etc., the story begins in the present. The characters are established, and after an incident involving Lou, the three friends (and awkward nephew) reunite to relive a weekend in Kodiak Valley — the hallmark place of their youth. Much to their dismay, the once booming mountain town is in economic ruin. Nonetheless, they plan to make the most out of it. Then they find the seemingly normal hot tubs. They drink, get wasted, freaky music and flashes of the past race across the screen, and bam! welcome to 1986. Deciding that the repercussions of the butterfly effect far outweigh their immediate desires to change history and themselves, the three friends set out to relive one epic weekend exactly as it has happened before. Of course that would be boring to watch, and so, misadventures and sheanigans ensue. Guys may enjoy the toplest girls, crass language, and excessive vomit, but girls, if you really want to see this movie, I'm telling you, you're not going to like it. I will admit there were the occasional witty lines and nostalgia for 80s music, but like I said before, this movie is a rental at best. ★ ★ ★ // MIA IVERSON music review // BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY & THE CAIRO GANG - 'THE WONDER SHOW OF THE WORLD' (DRAG CITY) KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. If haven't heard of Bonnie "Prince" Billy before, Will Oldham is the mastermind behind the name and the music. He is as strong as ever on this his 13th album under the Billy moniker, and the first to credit his recent backing band the Cairo Gang. Similar to Townes Van Zandt or Bill Callahan of Smog, Oldham is all about creating songs that channel a sentiment or feeling through the carefully written characters depicted in his songs. Some are ballads, and most all paint very personal pictures of those characters. The opening lines of "Troublesome Houses" very clearly outline the rift between two former lovers. Just as much on display as Oldham's songwriting and lyricism is guitarist/leader of Cairo Gang, Emmett Kelly. He keeps the songs moving and provides a nice counterpoint to Oldham's subtle picking (see "Teach Me to Bear You" and "Merciless and Great"). The production is very simple and pure. Nothing complicated added in post. Nice harmonies too; the Cairo Gang balances nicely with Oldham's voice and style. Everything is laid out in the open, from the musicianship to the feelings of the subjects in each song. This album will give any Billy fan what they want, and will please anyone with a contemplative sense about them. Finally, a lyric from The Wonder Show of the World that Will Oldham probably lives by: "Without us, song is nothing." Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & The Cairo Gang The Wonder Show of the World ★★★ // MILES WHETSEL music review // JONSI — GO (XL) KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. The frontman for the Icelandic group Sigur Rós, Jón Thor Birgisson, better known as Jonsi, is out with his first solo album after leading Sigur Rós for more than a decade. Jönsti's voice is definitely one-of-a-kind, but there's more to him than just vocals. His compositions are pretty epic and just remind of nature in general. To get a sense of it, picture Jönsi standing and singing in a big, open field with his arms spread wide, surrounded by a whole bunch of birds, leaves, flower petals, and other random things flying around him. I could also see this kind of music playing as the ending credits roll in a movie. Go is basically all of Jonsi's compositions that didn't quite fit the Sigur Rós vibe. All these tracks are pretty joyous and uplifting. I've never heard such a heavenly and spiritual voice from a male singer before. Visual associations aside, the drums are loaded with reverb as if they're playing in a large hall and are pretty tribal and marchy. There's also lots of deep and rich string patches. There are some high-pitched dancy wind instruments in "Go Do." "Grow Till Tall" is the most incredible track on Go. As the title suggests, it grows very tall with Jonsi's voice melodically leading the growth of the track while strings and drums join in and build things up. jónsi go ★★★☆// ADAM RYDELL 04 15 22 10 SPEAK ... THE WAY OF THE MONSTER For me, horror movies are more than just a good scare — they're full of life lessons // ABBY OLCESE I'm sitting on the couch, legs pulled up to my chest, chin resting on my knees. My eyes are glued to the screen. My friends and I are watching The Mist In the movie, a group of people is entering an abandoned drugstore. Everything is dark and dusty. The characters have just discovered a man, covered in cobwebs, suspended from the ceiling. They pull him down and he starts to shake. Blood squirts from his face. His chest bubbles up He falls forward and his back ruptures as hundreds of freaky little spider-like creatures emerge and scamper over the floor. A shiver runs down my spine. I giggle, shuddering from my shoulders to my toes with a mixture of discomfort, shock and glee. Mostly glee. I've been in love with horror movies since high school. It's a relationship that has required a lot of explaining over the years, particularly to my parents. I tell them horror movies send messages about the way people relate to each other or touch on social issues such as consumerism. I tell them these things partly because I think they're true, and partly because it's impossible for me to explain the giddy feeling I get when I see a zombie take a bite out of someone's shoulder. Talking about the practical aspects of horror movies is as close as I come to justifying my love for them. I think horror movies really do have a lot of lessons people can benefit from. Because so many of these movies fit the same formula, these lessons keep getting repeated, and eventually applying them to daily life just feels natural. Here are just some of the life lessons I've learned from horror movies. Your problems are never really over when you think they're over. TOMMY HARRISON As a writer and a student, revisions are a necessary evil. Even after the last word of the last sentence of the last paragraph is written, the work isn't done. It's like dealing with Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger. No matter how many times they get slaughtered, they always resurrect for another movie. Whenever I turn in a project, I'm reminded of that scene in Halloween when everyone thinks Laurie's killed Michael Myers with a hanger in his eye. As she breathes a sigh of relief, he quietly sits up behind her, wire hanger protruding from the ceyhole in his mask. Later, he gets shot six times in the chest, and somehow still comes back for Halloween II. In this respect, horror movies have taught me that even if it feels like the job is finished, you always have to be prepared for round two. Or, sometimes, round 20. You should always embrace diversity Everyone's got something to offer. Scream. Abby Olsene's love of horror movies began in high school. She says the movies can give people life lessons about diversity and curiosity. Don't shy away from scary movies, you may just get more than a jrush out of it. Remember in kindergarten,when your teacher taught you that everyone is good at something? In horror movies, this lesson proves to be absolutely essential for survival. In Shawn of the Dead, for example, one of the characters is an actress. By showing her friends how to imitate a zombie, the group is able to make its way through a massive crowd of the undead relatively undetected. What this has taught me is that when you're in a tight spot, it's important to consider who's around you to help you out. I live in a scholarship hall with roughly 50 other women. This means I've got people around who can help me with just about anything, including proofreading, math or physics. In zombie movie terms, that's like having an explosives expert, an army strategist and an expert marksman on my side. Never underestimate your friends' abilities. They might help you out on a tough assignment, or save you from certain destruction. Don't let your curiosity take over your sense of self-preservation. Photo illustration by Jerry Wang I can't count the number of horror movies with plots that start because someone starts messing around with stuff they shouldn't. The technical, movie-biz term for this is Pandora's Box, but I call it "the Alien rule." In Alien, the problems start when John Hurt's character explores an abandoned spaceship, and sticks his head into a nest of suspicious-looking alien eggs. Wouldn't you know it, an egg opens up, a face-hugging alien latches itself onto Hurt's niggin and implants him with spawn. Later on, the crew is enjoying dinner when Hurt starts coughing. He can't stop. He starts choking. He throws himself onto the table, writhing and seizing up. Suddenly, his chest explodes open, and the baby alien that's been incubating inside him this whole time rears its little head and skitters out of the room like a toy racecar. That baby grows into a nasty sucker that offs nearly the whole crew. The lesson here is if something looks like it's no good, then it probably is no good. Sometimes, this means not eating food that looks porentially fatal. Maybe if I'd watched Alien before my high school student exchange trip to Russia, I might not have eaten a slice of pizza that made me so sick I ended up in the hospital. Other times, it means keeping an objective distance in an argument that could damage my relationships with the people involved if I take sides. Horror movies have taught me that if something looks like it shouldn't be touched, I should probably leave it alone. You have to find the hidden meaning in everything. There are loads of other morals to be learned from horror movies. Lessons such as always doing research when planning secluded cabin vacations, or never picking up a hitchhiker spring to mind. I've also learned not to mess with the occult, because that never ends well for anyone. I've always felt that it's important to figure out what messages a movie is sending to its audience. Take what you can from that message. Horror movies, in addition to being a lot of fun, can offer a lot if viewers pay attention. In my case, they're a manual for survival — not just against the supernatural, but against situations I face every day. 23 WEEKLY SPECIALS Sun • M • T • W • Th • F • Sat $1.50 Screwdrivers $3.75 Gustos $1.50 Domestic Bottles $2 Smirnoff $2 Honor $3 Jäger Bombs $3 Guiness $5 PBR Pitchers $2 Captain Morgan $2 Boulvard Wheat & Pale Ale Draws $1 Wells $2 Michelob Ultra Free Pool: Midnight - 2AM.

STUDENT SENATE Envision candidates to appeal Election Commission vote Appeals hearing against decision scheduled for Friday BY ANNIE VANGSNES anniev@kansan.com The hearing for the appeal that Envision candidates Ross Ringer and Devon Cantwell tiled against the Elections Commission ruling is scheduled for next Friday. However, the way the commission conducted the first hearing on March 25 violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act. The violations could have been cause for At the end of March, the commission ruled that the candidates should be removed from the ballot because they turned in their candidacy signatures late. Cantwell, the former Envision vice presidential candidate, said that before the commission moved into executive session, it simply said it was going to "deliberate and vote." She said the commission did not give any further reason for why it was closing the meeting which violates the Kansas Open Meetings Act. legal action, but the candidates missed the deadline to file a complaint. Yesterday was the last day to file a complaint, but Cantwell said that she did not know about the deadline and that she and Ringer had been trying to juggle school and the election and hadn't had a chance to look into it. Cantwell also said she couldn't find any legal resources on campus because it would have been a conflict of interest for the lawyer in pursuing action against other KU students. "We've been so laden with the campaign itself we had no time to find a lawyer and pursue what the process for filing would be." Cantwell said. The act also gives a specific list of subjects that may be discussed in executive session, none of which applied to what the commission discussed. Elections Commissioner Jessica Lewicki, a law student from Jackson Hole, Wyo., said that the commission discussed the validity and deadline of the signatures and made its decision. The act also states that "binding action may not be taken in executive session," which includes a vote. Lewicki said she was told the commission was allowed to vote in an executive session. She said that was the way it had always been done. specifically telling me, but our advisor was there and this is how it's been done in the past," Lewicki said.

The new calendar equalizes the number of class days per semester at 73 each and extends winter break. Spring semester will now start the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. "We are also starting the fall semester on a Monday now," said John Stratton, president of University Senate. "These changes will benefit both students and teachers by regularizing the start of each semester." Fall break will also be moved from a Thursday and a Friday to a Monday and a Tuesday. This was done to rectify the disparity between class periods. "Moving fall break will balance out the instructional dates that we lost with Thanksgiving break, since it's also on a Thursday and Friday," said Stratton. Stratton also said that the changes were a good compromise with students. index "The new calendar retains Stop Day, which was very important to the students."

Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN ODD NEWS Police arrest man for misuse of 911 BRADENTON, Fla. — A Bradenton man was arrested after reportedly calling 911 a total of 18 times in two months. Manatee County deputies arrested a 55-year-old man Tuesday, when authorities said he called 911 three times. During the third call, the suspect reportedly accused the deputy who had responded to an earlier call of making out with a prostitute who lived across the street from him. Another deputy responded to the man's home, and it was learned that he had made 15 other 911 calls since Feb. 15. He had been previously warned not to call 911 for non-emergencies. The man was arrested and charged with misuse of 911. He was being held on $1,500 bail. Pig manure used to make asphalt EUREKA, Mo. — The outer road along Interstate 44 near Six Flags St. Louis is freshly paved — with asphalt made from recycled swine manure. It is believed to be the first time asphalt has been created from swine manure. Two St. Louis County companies, road contractor Pace Construction Co. and the engineering firm Innoventor, joined together on the project. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Innoventor perfected the process of converting the animal waste into a bio-oil used in asphalt binder. Hog producers are optimistic that, if the project works, it will create an additional source of revenue while helping the environment.

V KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 2010 / NEWS 3A CAMPUS Sneaker preview: Shoe show comes back to University BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com With a collection of 50 shoes — only counting those he has with him in Lawrence — Marcus Hollinger, a sophomore from Lexington, Ken., is what he calls, a "sneaker head." "It's the lifestyle of collecting shoes: spending your last dollar; waiting in long lines and taking long trips to get that coveted sneaker," he said. On Sunday, Hollinger will bring his love of sneakers to campus for the second time, when his organization, Fresh Live Youth Society or FLY Society, will hold its second annual Sneakology event. Hollinger, president of the group, said the event encouraged sneaker heads and sneaker collectors to come together for the sake of their shoes, fashion and hip-hop interests. "It itted when one day when I was a freshman, and I was frustrated with the lack of artistic events and things like that here at the University" he said. Hollinger said he considered transferring to New York University or the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in California so he could be around more art scenes. Instead he decided to do something like that on his own in Lawrence. "I wanted to be able to bring things I've seen on the coast to our city," he said. Max Ayalla, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., and vice president of FLY Society, said the group helped people be recognized artistically. Sneakology will have several sponsors from around the area that will rattle off more than $500 in prizes. Attendees can purchase shoes or bring their own sneaker collections to sell or trade. Hollinger said the event would give other sneaker heads the opportunity to get together and talk shoes. "There's a culture behind sneakers," Ayalla said. "It plays an integral part behind the evolution of hip hop." Ayalla said he had 50 pairs of sneakers, most of them Nike. Hollinger said most of the sneakers were Nike and FLY SOCIETY'S SNEAKOLOGY VOL.2 **WHEN:** Sunday, April 18 **TIME:** 2-5 p.m. **WHERE:** Kansas Union Kansas Ballroom (5th floor) "We have about 10 collectors on board," Hollinger said.

Todd Pickrell and Scott A. Wines ENTERTAINMENT "Desperate Housewives" actor pushes arts funding MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE MacLachlan joined hundreds of arts advocates on Capitol Hill to press Congress for increased funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, even as federal deficits could trigger budget cuts. WASHINGTON — "Desperate Housewives" actor Kyle MacLachlan, who plays Orson Hodge on the series, urged lawmakers Tuesday to increase arts funding, saying he got his start performing in community theaters that received federal grants. State, local and private support for the arts declined by about $1 billion last year because of the weak economy, according to the group Americans for the Arts. Some museums and arts groups have shut down permanently. "You are our champions here in the halls of Congress, and for many of us you hold our livelihoods in your hands." MacLachlan told a House subcommittee. The actor found a friend in Virginia Rep Jim Moran, who recently became chairman of the panel. "I feel already know you," Moran said. "My wife and I try to get home early enough on Sunday nights to watch 'Desperate Housewives.'" MacLachlan said his break into film and TV, including his Golden Globe Award-winning work on the series "Twin Peaks," came after mentors from theaters in Yakima, Wash., and elsewhere recommended his work. Many of them still "We could show this was a jobs creator." Pelosi said, adding a pitch for the recent health care overhaul, saying it's difficult to be a self-employed artist without insurance. "We could show this was a jobs creator." Actor Jeff Daniels, currently starring in Broadway's "God of Advocates are seeking $180 million in federal support for the NEA for 2011, hoping to surpass a high of $176 million in funding granted the NEA in the mid 1990s before its budget was slashed. Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said the arts have been a good investment for his city even in tough times to draw residents and create jobs. depend on NEA grants to mount productions, he said. NANCY PELOSI Speaker of the House The lobbying group Americans for the Arts awarded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi its Congressional Arts Leadership Award along with the U.S. Conference of Mayors for preserving $50 million in economic stimulus funding for the arts last year and for working to increase the annual arts budget. Carnage" and whose screen credits include "Terms of Endearment" and "Dumb and Dumber," said the arts were critical to the economic revival of his home-town, Chelsea. Mich. After he started the Purple Rose Theatre there in 1991, the town of two stoptlights now draws 40,000 people a year to its Main Street with shows, new shops and restaurants, he said. "Even the local funeral director thanked me for two funerals he picked up from people who happened to be in town to see a play," he said. "I didn't ask." Retired Army Brig. Gen. Nolen Bivens testified that arts education and cultural diplomacy can boost national security by preventing conflicts or inspiring new thinking on the battlefield. Others said the impact of the arts goes beyond entertainment and ticket sales, though. TREK free bicycle test rides Test ride some of the best bikes on the planet...for free!

Personally, I think of soldiers who are defending my freedom to be myself. Those soldiers are fighting for all people: white, black, disabled, poor, rich, gay or straight. However, the irony isn't lost on me; a soldier can be anyone, but not everyone can be a soldier — at least if they value expressing their sexual orientation. Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) was put into place in 1993 at the beginning of Bill Clinton's first term as president. This legislation was considered a compromise that would allow homosexuals to serve in the U.S. military as long as they did not discuss their sexual orientation. This means that a soldier can't commit homosexual acts or admit to being in a gay relationship or marriage. If another service member discovers a soldier is gay or there is "admissible evidence," it is very likely that the soldier will be discharged. Although heterosexual soldiers can admit to being in a relationship or married with no issues, homosexual soldiers cannot. To some, DADT was a step up for gay rights; to others, it was yet another setback. I see it somewhere in between. Presently, according to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, more than 13,000 military personnel have been discharged based on violation of DADT. That means 13,000 people have been trained using millions of tax dollars and government services, only to be stripped of the ability to actually use their training to defend our country. Why is it that heterosexual soldiers are allowed to get it on without worrying that their behavior will result in a discharge, but, heaven forbid two male or female soldiers get together? I find this frustrating as all check. Queerly Speaking POLICY ADVISOR A personal life is called so for a reason: It doesn't involve others. BY LAUREN BORNSTEIN It is only by treating homosexual relationships as different than heterosexual relationships that problems arise. How is simply admitting to homosexuality going to screw up the military mindset? In reality, the only difference between gay and straight soldiers is who they love. There are seven values followed by the Army, the military branch with the most discharges. They include loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage. I don't see the honor or respect in DADT. "In reality, the only difference between gay and straight soldiers is who they love." Therefore, to be successful, a soldier's mind needs to be focused on the goal at hand, not on their fellow soldiers' personal lives. This is something I can agree with. It should be understood that when you become part of the military, there is a strong one-for-all and all-for-one mentality. As a soldier, the mission is your only task. Protecting your fellow soldier is a must. Nothing less will be tolerated. But, the principles of selfless service and duty remain essential It's not easy for me to admit, but I believe that to repeal DADT right now would throw off the training of our current soldiers. We are in the middle of a war, and our soldiers need to be completely focused on that. Even though DADT makes me angry and it is a bad policy, I don't want to sacrifice our soldiers' safety and the completion of their mission by causing a disruption. For the sake of full disclosure, this may be because I am personally affected by the military. My twin brother is a soldier in the Army. I have kept in touch with him through the occasional phone call and frequent letters sent via snail mail. By talking with him and some of my other amazing veteran friends, I have an inside look of what it is like to be a part of the military. I know that my twin loves and supports me 100 percent; he did before he joined the Army, and he still does after all he's been through. My relationships with my brother and friends have proven to me that the military is not anti-gay, and neither are the majority of the soldiers. What I have come to understand, however, is that, regardless of whether heterosexual or homosexual, a soldier's personal life is the last thing discussed in the military world. Soldiers are trained to put aside their emotions and feelings and focus on the task at hand. Being a patriot is not about always abiding by the government's decisions. I believe that DADT is unpatriotic. As Americans, we should use the freedom that allows us to express our opinions and do what we can to change DADT. However, any frustrations with this policy can — and should — be directed toward the government, not our soldiers. Stand up to our politicians for this unfair policy, but commend our soldiers for still being willing to fight for our freedom, even under a policy they know is unfair. Bornstein is a senior from Lawrence in womens studies The Government Accountability Office reported that it costs $95.4 million for recruiting and $95.1 million for training replacements for the 9,488 troops discharged from 1994 through 2003. The Blue Ribbon Commission places the total closer to $363 million, which includes "separation travel" once a service member is discharged, officer training and other associated costs. Quick Facts about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" - Women in the military have said that all it takes to initiate a DADT investigation is a rumor about being a lesbian. These rumors can simply be a result of a woman rebuffing a man's advances, if she doesn't wear makeup, doesn't discuss a boyfriend or simply looks "butch." - Allies of the U.S., such as Great Britain and Israel, allow openly gay and lesbian members to serve in the military.

In fact, it isn't an uncommon sight to see flocks of people pounding the pavement to raise money for various causes. Benefit races are a wonderful way to spread awareness and attract large crowds. However, many of the feminine issues races are filled almost entirely with women. Pictures show hordes of women proudly donning pink race shirts — but there is scarcely a beard to be found. Alternatively, male-issue races, such as the PACE (Prostate Awareness and Cancer Education) race, tend to attract a more balanced gender profile. Sex and Sensibility My favorite charity race and the one that totally blows away any form of gender isolation is the "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" benefit. It's a benefit to raise awareness about rape, sexual assault and gender violence. However, it's marketed mainly toward men. A bunch of men running around in high heels draws a lot of attention, which outweighs any negative effects of its cutesy nature. It's simply clever marketing, and it's marketing that finally ly being used for a great cause. So many advertising campaigns use gender stereotypes simply to push certain products, which is a strategy that just seems exploitive to me. Take for example the latest Axe commercial, which uses the phrase "women get bored easily" and shows a man playing peek-a-boo to get a woman's attention to sell the company's new hair product. You could argue that using high-heels as a symbol for women isn't modern or feminist enough, but I think it fits pretty well. High-heels are one of the many items women are tied to if they want to be considered beautiful by mainstream society. Lady BY MELISSA LYTTON That any man would put him self through that pain for a mile for a woman's cause is amazing. These events are ways of starting to take ownership of discrimination and hatred as a society rather than turning our backs on problems that don't directly relate to our specific demographics. However, women often pay the price for this, as evidenced by blisters and foot problems the organization's website says, "sexualized violence does not just affect women". Although this is true, it is often overlooked; sexual violence affects the partners, boyfriend, sons and fathers of victims. That's what makes this event — as well as any gender-based event that is supported by the opposite sex — so important. The "Shoes" walks are scheduled year round. There are a couple throughout Kansas and Missouri, but no events are organized around Lawrence. It would be easy for the student body to organize an event and raise a lot of money for an issue that affects us all and is especially prevalent in the college demographic. Sexual assaults have unfortunately hit close to home with the recent serial assaults during school breaks. There's not much we can do about the attacks themselves, but we can raise awareness and come together as a community to fight back. Plus, we can have a little fun outdoors while doing it.

This natural form of private property serves as individual motivation to advance oneself. It is not the government's place to limit our intrinsic right to personal achievement. We are born with an innate power of self-governance and, therefore, only we as individuals have the right to limit our success. This is not a right bestowed upon us by any man or government, but by God himself. The affluence of the U.S. comes from the combination of 300 million Americans working toward their individual goals. Having personal motivation to work creates limitless potential for individual success. This moves our country forward toward a unified prosperity. A prosperity in which those who are less fortunate and in need of charity will find help, not through big government or entitlement programs, but rather through individual philanthropy. Allowing for more focused and personalized assistance, it uses individual discretion to extend a hand beyond the reaches of the government. By stripping away the individual's right to self-govern and limiting personal success and achievement, you inherently destroy one's ability to prosper. This is not only a crime against the individual; it is a crime against everything America stands for. In a socialist system, big government favors the interest of the state over the individual through government appropriation of private property. This redistribution of wealth doesn't create equal grounds off which to succeed, just highly limited amounts of equal success. Consequently, personal motivation to work and produce is lost. Lack of motivation results in an inefficient system of labor, in which spending exceeds production. In turn, this gives rise to an unstable and bankrupt society in which there is nowhere to turn for help and survival becomes the prime motivation. Joel Cundiff is a senior from Overland Park.

Every Twins starter had a hit except batting champ lee Moeer. Denard Span turned two of Tim Wakefield's knuckleballs into RBI doubles and Michael Cuddyher homered and drove in three runs. Liriano (1-0) scattered four hits and walked two while striking out eight, after a so-so performance in his first start. The left hander worked out of one-out, two-on trouble in the first two frames and reached back for one of those trademark sliders to strike out Jeremy Hermida and end the seventh with one on. Wakefield (0-1) is 14-6 lifetime against the Twins, including a 7-4 mark at the Metrodome, where the float on his knuckler often proved more baffling than usual. He didn't fool very many batters in this one, giving up 10 hits and six runs in 5 1-3 innings. Minnesota's new ballpark is quite the attraction, but a bounceback season from Liriano might make Twins fans almost as excited. After a dominant rookie season in 2006, an elbow injury and a loss of confidence, he hasn't been the same since. While going 5-13 with a 5.80 ERA last year, Liriano gave up at least one run in each of his 24 starts. Boston, meanwhile, had been averaging more than five runs a game this season. It was that kind of afternoon for the Red Sox, who left a total of five runners in scoring position and made three errors in the field plus another flub that let the Twins score in the sixth. J. J. Hardy reached on a bad throw by third baseman Adrian Beltre, and Span followed a single by Nick Punto with a double — and possible triple — into the corner in right. Punto slipped trying to hold up at third, but Span had his head down rounding second. Catcher Victor Martinez's throw wasn't in time to get Span retreating, while Punto came home anyway. Though summer heat and humidity could bring a different effect on the trajectory of balls hit at Target Field and the wind currents appear unpredictable, it will take a lot of muscle to hit one out to center field, between 403 and 411 feet away from the plate. Down the lines, though, the home run distances are inviting. Cuddyer's drive in the seventh didn't look like much of a blast but just kept sailing on left fielder Jeremy Hermida and cleared the wall for an 8-0 lead. Martinez and Kevin Youkilis got good wood on Liriano in consecutive flies in the third, but Span didn't even make it to the warning track to catch them. Brewers avoid sweep with 7th inning rally CHICAGO — Rickie Weeks hit a tie-breaking single in the seventh inning and Trevor Hoffman protected a late lead Thursday, giving the Milwaukee Brewers an 8-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Ryan Braun and Casey McGehee each homered and drove in three runs as the Brewers avoided a three-game sweep. Hoffman, who had blown his two previous save opportunities, allowed one run in the ninth for his third save this season and record 594th of his career. It was 5-all in the seventh when pinch-hitter Joe Inglett drew a two-out walk from Jeff Samardzija (0-1), stole second and scored on Weeks' single. Weeks, who underwent season- ending wrist surgery last May 20 and had two disappointing years before that, has at least one hit in every game this season. After Carlos Villanueva struck out the side in the Chicago seventh, Braun led off the eighth with a homer off Samardziia. Braun, who also singled three times, has 26 RBIs in 26 games at Wrigley Field. McGehee, who played briefly with the Cubs in 2008 before being one of baseball's top rookies last year, hit a two-run homer off Carlos Zambrano in the third.

The senior outfielder is near the top in six major offensive categories, including a Big 12-best 14 home runs. Coach Price said that even though the Cornhuskers have struggled in Big 12 play, they're still a dangerous team. "They know that their season is on the line," coach Price said. "It's going to be as tough a weekend as it was in Austin" But if Kansas can play like it did against then-No. 6 Texas — specifically with two more dominant starts from Walz and senior Cameron Selik — Price said he likes his club's chances. "I think we would have won the series against anybody else in our league last weekend, with as well as we played and competed, and with how outstanding Walz and Selik were on Friday and Saturday," coach Price said. Walz has fared well against his hometown team, cord in two career starts against Nebraska, including a 10-strikeout performance in a victory last season. "For him it's a special day when he gets to pitch against his hometown team." with a 2-0 re- ward to playing in front of his family and friends, but added that he didn't need any additional motivation to start the week end off with a strong outing on Friday. "For him it's a special day when he gets to pitch against his hometown team", Price said. Walz said he always looks for- RITCH PRICE Baseball coach be most telling about how he feels about being snubbed by the But it's what he didn't say that might about how he snubbed by the baseball team coming out of high school. "I'm a huge Nebraska football fan." Walz said. Unlike Walz, fellow Nebraska native Jimmy Waters didn't grow up enamored with "Big Red". "I just never really got into it," Waters said. Waters said his father listens to all the talk radio shows back home, and that there is a lot of confidence coming from the Cornhuskers' side of the rivalry. "They don't look at us like a good team." Waters said. "They look at us like they're supposed to beat us." "I'm very motivated to go out there and shut people up." Waters said. CORNHUSKER CLASH Though his outlook is somewhat different than Walz', they share a collective goal of having a strong series in Lincoln. Edited by Cory Bunting BASEBALL GAMEDAY KANSAS OPENING PITCH NEBRASKA OPENING PITCH AT A GLANCE At 3-5-1 in the Big 12, this series against Nebraska will make a huge impact on Kansas' conference standing. A series win and the Jayhawks are right back towards the top of the pack — but a couple more losses will place them firmly towards the bottom of the Big 12. AT A GLANCE For Nebraska, this weekend's series is arguably their most important series on the conference slate. Both teams sit at the bottom of the Big 12 standings and need a series victory to get back in the thick of the Big 12 race. The Conhuskers did pick up a non-conference win against Wichita State on Tuesday night, winning convincingly 14-0. JAYHAWKS VS. CORNHUSKERS Kansas looks to end its conference woes against Nebraska in Lincoln SERIES OUTLOOK PLAYER TO WATCH Junior third baseman Tony Thompson PLAYER TO WATCH As the cleanup hitter, Thompson will need to provide a power threat in the middle of the Jayhawks lineup. If Thompson — who hit his second home run of the season in against Texas in Austin — continues to progress at the plate, Kansas has a good chance of supporting its pitching staff with an offensive barrage. Adam Bailey QUESTION MARK The Nebraska Cornhuskers have struggled thus far getting production from their lineup. The only consistent player for Nebraska so far this season has been Adam Bailey. He leads the league in hits with 52 and runs batted in with 45. In his last start against Wichita State, he was 2-for-4 with two RBIs in a victory. The bottom line is the Jayhawks need to win at least two of three in Lincoln. Nebraska has struggled in conference play, and if Kansas intends on challenging the likes of Texas for a Big 12 title, this is a series it needs to walk away from with a few victories. QUESTION MARK Will Kansas's starting pitching be as sharp as last weekend? Can the offense carry Nebraska in this series? Selik and Walz were the best they've been all season in Austin, but the Jayhawks fell short because the Longhorns pitchers were slightly better. But if Kansas' top two arms can give similar performances against Nebraska, the offense should have ample opportunities to score against a pitching staff that has a team ERA of 5.37 — second-highest in the conference. NEWS AND NOTES The Cornhusker starters give up runs on a regular basis and they are facing a Kansas squad that is looking to get back on track after struggling for offense against Texas. It will take contributions from not only the Big 12 hit leader Adam Bailey, but infielder Kale Kaiser and outfielder DJ Belfonte. The 'Huskers are fifth in the Big 12 in hitting. The Jayhawks have added a game to make up for an early season contest lost to weather. Kansas will host Benedictine College on Tuesday, April 20 at 6 p.m. Admission is free for all fans. BY THE NUMBERS Kansas adds game Lytle honored BY THE NUMBERS 1996 — The last time Kansas won a series in Lincoln 10-2 — Walz 'career record against the Big 12 .399 — Kansas' team on-base percentage 1 — Big 12 home win 4.15 — Walks allowed per game 5.37 — ERA of Nebraska pitchers, 9th in the Big 12. In addition to being recognized this season for his performance on the field, junior right fielder Casey Lytle was recently honored for his work off the field. Lytle has been selected as a Big 12 Conference Chick-Fil-A Community of Champions honoree for the 2010 spring season. The conference recognizes one athlete from each of the 12 institutions — regardless of sport — based on academics, community service, leadership and sportsmanship. The junior, a business major, was named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection a season ago. He was also an active member in Kansas' student-athlete service projects. On the field, Lytle's no slouch either. He's currently batting .295 with an on base percentage at .421. Lytle has racked up seven doubles, a triple, a home run and 33 scored in his 30 starts in Kansas' outfield. Lytle also leads the team with 10 stolen bases and 16 times being hit by pitch. He was selected the Big 12 Player of the Week on March 15 for his efforts in helping the Jayhawks knock off then-No.1 LSU in Baton Rouge.

The pitch came, junior pitcher Allie Clark made contact, and she started rounding the bases. "As soon as I hit it I was thinking, 'start the bus,' because it's good." Clark said. After Clark smacked the 3-2 pitch over the right field wall to put Kansas up 6-5, she said she had no fear going back to the pitching circle to put Creighton away. "I knew if I got a bad pitch here or there that the people behind me would hurt their butts." Clark said. Sure enough, Clark finished off Creighton and Kansas split the doubleheader, moved to 18-24 and 3-4 in the Big 12. But the doubleheader certainly didn't start in Kansas' favor. In the first game, Creighton scored two early runs in the first inning and took a 2-0 lead into the fourth. Creighton then scored four in the fourth inning, and added one run a piece in the fifth and sixth innings to run-rule Kansas 8-0. That marked Kansas' second straight scoreless game. Kansas only managed three hits the entire game while Creighton ended with nine hits. Coach Megan Smith said the team was extremely flat in the first game. "When you looked out there, there was very little life on the field," Smith said. "The score of that game wasn't the frustrating part of that game. It was actually watching us play without any emotion." Before the second game, Smith said she challenged her team to go out and play with some intensity. "I told them we needed to go out there with some heart and pride," Smith said. Things looked better at the start of the second game for Kansas when it took a 1-0 lead in the top RECAP Game 1 Creighton 8, Kansas 0 Game 2 Kansas 6, Creighton 5 UP NEXT No. 9 Oklahoma State vs. Kansas WHEN: 2 p.m. tomorrow and noon Sunday WHERE: Arrocha Ballpark, Lawrence of the third, but Creighton quickly responded with a grand slam in the bottom of the third. Creighton added another run in the fourth, and Kansas picked up two more runs in the fifth to make it 5-3 Creighton. In the sixth Kansas scored another run, but stranded two on base. Finally, with two outs in the seventh, Clark hit a two-run homer on a 3-2 pitch to put Kansas up 6-5. Clark then returned to the pitching circle and successfully shut out Creighton, winning the game. Kansas outshut Creighton 11 to four in the second game. Smith has been coaching a mentality of taking the game pitch by pitch, which the team hasn't always followed. In the second game, Kansas stuck with that mentality, senior infielder Amanda Jobe said. "If something went wrong the pitch before we put that behind us and moved on to the next pitch," Jobe said. "We tried to take it a pitch at a time and focus the best we can, and it worked out well for us." Even though the Jayhawks had a bad first game, the second game gave Kansas some momentum it will hopefully be able to use in upcoming games, lobe said. Kansas will continue Big 12 Conference play this weekend when it hosts No.9 Oklahoma State (37-7, 7-0) for two games.

Freshman finishes third in hammer throw event BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Even with two foul throws, Kansas State senior Loren Groves still managed to win the women's hammer throw competition Thursday afternoon. Groves finished the final round with a distance of 60.77 meters, just 0.3 meters ahead of the second-place finisher, Missouri's Krishna Lee. Groves, a two-time All-American in the hammer throw, overcame two faults: one in the second heat and one in the finals. Kansas' freshman standout Alena Krechyk made the finals but had to settle for a third-place finish. Throwing coach Andy Kokhanovsky felt Krechyk had room to improve. "It's a little disappointing." Kokhanovsky said. "I still think Alena did a good job today but she wanted to finish first. Groves is very experienced." With a final round distance of 59.99 meters, Krechyk was about five meters away from her coach's objective. "But she did okay today." Kokhanovsky said. The top three throwers — Groves, Lee and Krechyk — were easily the three best athletes in the competition. While all three had final scores within one meter of each other, they were all more than six meters ahead of the fourth-place finisher.

That allowed junior Nick Caprario to pull ahead of his teammate, and finish in third place with a time of 14:40:23. "The place is good." Caprario said. "I was looking a little bit more for time. I was trying to get down to 14:30, but I got 14:40. I will take it for this meet and take it to build on after this meet." Imgrund shared a similar sentiment. "I am happy with that." Imgrune said. "It's early. It's the first 5K of the year so it is a good place to start and I can work from there." "We had a real tight group of three there and you can't ask for a whole lot better than that." Caprario said. "Being able to bounce off of each other and switched off taking the lead and in the long run that made us all a little faster." Toward the end of the race the pack separated and Caprario took the lead for the Jayhaws. Imgrund, Caprario and freshman Josh Baden packed together in second, third and fourth places for much of the race. "As far as separating from the Former Jayhawk Paul Hefferon, running for the Kansas City Smoke, won the race with a time of 14:17.36.

Associated Press MORNING BREW Sports enter next dimension I'm lucky enough to get to go to the World Cup in South Africa this summer. PETER SCHNEIDER But there's no need to fret; you will now be able to come closer to experiencing the glory of the world's game without a transatlantic flight. Starting with the first World Cup match between South Africa and Mexico on June 11, people with 3D television sets will be able to watch ESPN's new network. ESPN 3D. A minimum of 85 other live sporting events will be shown on the network in its first year. Movie theaters with 3D capabilities will also show certain sporting events, including national championships and Super Bowls. And as a fan, it's hard to know how to read. Just a couple of years ago, we were happy to watch games in grainy, non-HD glory. The sports and players were all that mattered. You couldn't see the blemishes on Stuart Scott like you can now, and nobody was the wiser. High-definition programming revolutionized television, and watching a game without it now seems archaic. But a move to another dimension of television isn't just an improvement in sharpness, color or sound like high-definition was. We are nearing a new era in entertainment. If you've seen "Avatar", you are aware of the possibilities of 3D technology. It's hard not to consider yourself BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com So what does this mean for viewing sports? a part of the plot. Mark Wilson, a writer for the technology blog Gizmodo.com, wrote in January that 3D television had a lot of potential, but companies still had a lot of work to do to refine it into a viable product. Right now, he suggests, it's a gimmick to sell televisions. He says sports don't come out well on the sets, especially basketball: "For one, the court has depth, but the players are quite flat, like a few paper cutouts are dribbling a ball back and forth instead of fully corporeal, '6'6" titans." His solution to this problem would be to install more cameras in an arena, allowing a 3D image to be produced like Pixar produces animated characters. So it's probably not worth the purchase before the World Cup. If you can find a movie theater or a bar showing the games in 3D, I would make an investment just to Movie theaters will likely produce similar problems. THE MORNING BREW see what the future holds. In a few years, you'll find it a lot harder to leave your couch. Since I can't give you a glimpse of 3D television, I'm taking the Sesh on a different route: Josh Selby.

This is the eighth and final year that Bonds has participated in the Kansas Relays, including races she ran for Hutchinson High School. Throughout the race, Bonds ran along with freshman Allie Marquis in order to help the younger runner maintain a successful pace. "It felt good," Bonds said. "I was just like, 'I am in second, I am probably not going to catch first, probably not going to get caught.' I just wanted to have fun and relax and run around the track a few times." "She is a really encouraging person and you want to stick with her when she tells you to so she went into the race with the intention of pulling me along and helping me get a good time and to just stay relaxed," Marquis said. "She is amazing on the track and off the track, and that makes you want to stick with her." "I love running here and it is a great meet." Bonds said. "I am just going to have fun and try to not get too nostalgic." Her sophomore year in high school, she set the record for the sprint medley and the 4-by-200 meter relay while on the team with her sister, but according to Bonds, she only held each record for about two minutes until a faster set of runners ran each event. — Edited by Cory Bunting The two ran side by-side for most of the race until Bonds broke away to climb from her lowest position of fifth place to a second place finish. Bonds will also participate in the 4x1 mile women's race this afternoon at 2:45. KANSAN.COM Want to read more about the Kansas Relays? Want to see more photos?

If you're not sure, go back to school . --- If, for comparison's sake, ESPN the Magazine or Sports illustrated offered me a job tomorrow (they won't), even as an entry-level staff writer (still no), I'd jump on it. Thanks, Kansas, for a few great years, but I'm moving on. I don't know what might happen in my next year at school that could possibly prevent the offer from coming again. And so would you. And so should Cole Aldrich. And Xavier Henry. They may have had more to offer to the University of Kansas, but the University of Kansas didn't have much else to offer them. Just ask the scouts, GMs and owners who just hope to get them on their roster. BY TIM DWYER I'd leave, because I would be assured a spot, even as a role player, at the top level of my profession. To Xavier Henry and Cone Aldrich and John Wall and Evan Turner and Wesley Johnson and any other player who is a surefire first round pick in June's NBA Draft, I say go and congratulations. You have successfully used college as exactly what college is supposed to be — for all of us, not just for the preternaturally gifted. Enough math, though, and let me off my high horse for just a moment. Like I said earlier, I have no issue with kids like Turner or Wall or Henry or Aldrich tossing their names into the lottery mix. I'm also OK with guys that grade out as late first or early second rounders, especially if they've maxed-out their draft stock, like Mario Chalmers a couple years back and Butler's Gordon Hayward this season. You've taken your time at an institution of higher learning (or higher level of competition) and best prepared yourself for your chosen profession. It's what any of you aspire to at the college level. But this year, like last year, and like there will be next year, bad advice or arrogance or blind optimism convince them that they are NBA-ready when they are anything but. So before even taking into account the plethora of draft-worthy seniors and international players (NBADraft.net has 24 such players selected in their latest mock draft, Sherron Collins among them), there are two kids who have foregone the rest of their college experience. Some of whom would have a much more legitimate shot at making the NBA with another year or two under their belt (I'm looking at you, Tommy Mason-Griffin). As of Thursday morning there were 53 early entrants in the draft, with at least nine more expected to declare. Now, I'm no math whiz, but see if you can follow the simple equations here: There are 30 NBA teams. There is one pick for each team in each round of the NBA Draft. There are two rounds in the NBA Draft. Thirty times two equals, unless I suck worse at math than I thought, 60. Nine expected early entrants plus 53 already committed equals, roughly, 62.

No one was in the building at the time of the accident, and no suspects had been found as of 11 a.m. Sunday. The front of the building is caved in, leaving safe accessibility questionable. The bar will be closed until repairs are finished. The bar's general manager P.J. Mather received a phone call from an employee at 3:15 a.m. Sunday informing her of the incident. She spoke with the responding officer. Michael Cobb, who told her a bicyclist saw the SUV hit the front of the building but did not get a license number. Mather said the crash occurred sometime after the bartender locked up at 2:30 a.m. and before the cleaning crew arrived at 2:45 a.m. Randall Spiker, officer with the Lawrence Police Department, said the department could not respond to inquiries about the accident until Monday, when the press officer, Sgt. Bill Cory, returns to the office. Although no police statement has been released, bystanders speculated that alcohol was involved while they shot photos of the caved-in facade with their phones. Crown Construction was hired to fix the damage. Owner Paul Crown said repairs would take at least a week if everything went well. He said vehicles crash into buildings "quite a bit" but could not speculate as to the cost of repairs. Mather said the bar is offering a $1,000 reward for any information about the identity of the person responsible for the damage.

Sucker for a sweet sneaker Collectors come together to show off their special shoes 图 BY NANCY WOLENS nwolens@kansan.com The Fresh Live Youth Society held its second annual sneaker convention, called Sneakology Vol. 2, at the Kansas Union Ballroom Sunday, where about 10 avid collectors and sponsors came to display their array of sneakers. The exhibit spread across about 10 tables, piled with pieces of art that were arranged carefully to show off the best angles. But this isn't a traditional showcase where artists display their creations to the public — it is an exhibit of sneakers. Max Ayalla, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., and vice president of the FLY Society, said people came to trade, buy, sell and view unique sneakers. Matt Bailey, a resident of Olathe, has been collecting sneakers for about 10 years. Bailey, who brought over 30 pairs from his collection, said he largely collects Nike Jordan from various eras "We welcomed whoever really wanted to come," Ayalla said. "We reached out as far as we could to make people aware and reach out to this kind of demographic." sneakers are not exclusively functional anymore. From the collections to the collectors, it's easy to see that this sub-culture of sneaker-holics takes collecting seriously.

Bailey "I'll go wait in line at 2 in the morning until 8 in the morning so I can get my size." said. "I usually buy two or three of the same pair so I'll wear one and keep the others in their boxes."

"I've worn them all at least once but after that it's usually back in the box." "I have to ask permission to wear the ones he got me sometimes," Bowman said.

Erica Upshaw, founder of Keep Friendship Alive, was the keynote speaker at Friday night's event. The Keep Friendship Alive program is designed to equip students to be prepared for situations similar to those that Jason Wren's friends may have faced.

The federal government has spent about $1.5 billion since 1993 to help buy 40,000 flood-prone properties, a majority of them in the Upper Midwest. It works with state and local governments, who tear the homes down and replace them with green space, parks or wildlife refuges. The initial cost saves money down the road on sandbagging, emergency shelters, rescues and cleanup. But some homeowners say they don't want to move and prefer to take their chances, rebuilding as needed. In other areas, officials aren't interested in managing the teardowns and open space or haven't been able to find a place for residents to move.

EAGLE Please recycle this newspaper STATE Improper safety regulations may be cause for boy's death ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA — Questions about regulation and oversight have arisen after a 5-year-old boy fell off an inflatable ride at a Wichita amusement facility, struck his head and died. The Wichita Eagle reported that the owners of several inflatable ride companies say a 2005 city ordinance requiring amuse- tions of inflatable amusements. ment rides to meet certain safety standards is rarely enforced. The owners say ride inspections aren't verified, and that officials routinely ignore reports about people who operate rides without proper licenses or inspections. "Anytime you have an event of this magnitude, it triggers some kind of response." "I've been feeling like a lone voice in the wilderness trying to get people to take this seriously, and nobody has," said Jay Jones, owner of Kids Fun USA in Wichita. Since 2004, Jones says, he has pushed for tougher regula- Several industry experts said the key to preventing serious injuries or deaths is stricter regulation and oversight. The review comes after the death last month of Matthew Branham, who hit his head on concrete when he fell from an inflatable ride at an amusement facility called Pure Entertainment. "There were a whole lot of people operating under the radar, and it's like nobody cared until now," he said. "Now, unfortunately, we've got a dead child." City officials, however, say they have responded to complaints about unlicensed inflatables in past years. They also say the ordinance and enforcement procedures are being reviewed, and the findings will be presented to the city manager. JEFF LONGWELL Council member In that case, issues have been raised over how the rides the boy was playing on before his deadly fall had been inspected.

People from all across the U.S. came to participate in the powwow, an event held to celebrate the customs and heritage of American Indians. Even though powwows are not a traditional ritual from American Indian cultures, many participants see it as an important way to express interest in and dedication to their cultural ties. "It's a social event with singing and dancing," said Max Ayalla, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., and member of the group. "But it also reminds participants to call back on their ancestors, or past family members, and be in touch with the spirit of the event." Ayala said the group spent the year planning the event, which also served as a traditional American Indian dance contest for those who registered and participated. Contestants were judged on form, technique, attire and ability to keep in step with the drum beats. Patti Wakolee, adviser to the group, said that the event was important to educate the KU community about American Indian culture. "A lot of non-natives don't participate because they don't think they can, but this event is open to them, too." Wakolee said. Stephanie Farve, a senior from Lawrence, is president of the FNSA group. She said she joined the group after she became interested in learning more about her Mississippi Choctaw heritage. "My ties to my heritage have grown quite a bit, especially since I started learning," Farve said. "Being a part of FNSA definitely helped that." At the powwow, there were four drum circles that took turns providing the music and beats for the dancers, who danced in the middle of the circle. The event lasted for more than four hours. Ayalla said that at bigger events, powwows could last for three or four days. Even though there are currently 305 students at the University who identify themselves as American Indian, according to information provided by the office of the registrar, there are still only 5 students involved in the FNSA group. However, Farve said that the small group was still able to pull off a big event like the powwow because of the dedication of the group members.

"I would hope that our leaders in Washington, D.C., understand we like to be a dominant superpower," the former Alaska governor said. "I don't understand a world view where we have to question whether we like it or not that America is powerful." Obama said earlier this week that the United States must do its best to resolve conflicts around the world before they grow too serious. "It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them," Obama said. "And that ends up costing us significantly in terms of both blood and treasure." Palin'sremarks came in a question-and-answer session after a speech at an event in the central Illinois town of Washington to raise money in the national deficit and for disagreeing with Israeli policies. Palin said she hoped the November elections will produce winners who believe in limited government and encouraging free "It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts..."

INTERNATIONAL Thailand's military tries to minimize violent protesters ASSOCIATED PRESS BANGKOK - Thailand's military declared Bangkok's main shopping boulevard unsafe Sunday because of large crowds of anti-government protesters and sent soldiers to nearby high-rise buildings to watch for violence. As Thailand's traditional New Year holiday ended, protest leaders called for another mass rally Tuesday in their bid to oust Prime Minister A b h i s i t Vejajaiva - raising concerns of more clashes after savage fighting a week ago killed 25 people. The Warning by army spokesman Col. Sansern Kaewkamnerd was another blow for Thailand's vital tourism sector, which accounts for six percent of the economy and has suffered a steep decline since the protests began March 12. The warning. Sansern said military checkpoints were being set up at entry points to the capital and within the city to try to prevent more "Red Shirt" protesters from reaching the main rally site, an area of upscale shopping malls and five-star hotels that have been under virtual siege. At least six malls remain closed. Protesters in Bangkok have held numerous violent rallies, which resulted in the death of 25 people. The government accuses "terrorists" armed with guns and other weapons of orchestrating the earlier violence and says weapons were stolen from the military that have not been returned. "The protest area is unsafe. Authorities need to control it by sending security personnel into the surrounding high-rise buildings." Sanssern told a news conference. He said soldiers would help "prevent people with ill intentions from infiltrating the area." The protesters consist mainly of poor rural supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and pro-democracy activists who opposed the military coup that ousted him in 2006. They believe Abhisit heads an illegitimate government because it came to power through a parliamentary vote after disputed court rulings ousted two pro-Thaksin administrations. The conflict has been characterized by some as class warfare, pitting the country's vast rural poor against an elite that has traditionally held power. Meanwhile, the rival establishment-backed "Yellow Shirt" protest movement vowed Sunday to take action unless the government "strictly and efficiently enforces the law" to deal with the crisis. The yellow-shirted protesters led months of anti-Thaksin rallies that led to the coup and their 2008 demonstrationsshutdown Bangkok's airports for a week to protest a Thaksin-allied government. They retreated after Abhisit's arrival but many fear their return if he is forced out to march to another location and would not tolerate more violence. Abbist has come under increasing criticism for failing to clear the protesters, but the government spokesman said Saturday there were no immediate plans for a crackdown because too many people were camped in the area to use force. "We will not allow people to hurt police officers, soldiers or civilians again — or to seize military vehicles or weapons," he said. The Red Shirt protesters, formally known as the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, want Abhisit to dissolve Parliament and call new elections. They were initially camped in a historic district of Bangkok, and a failed attempt by security forces on April 10 to flush protesters from that neighborhood erupted into the worst political violence Thailand has seen in 18 years. Sansern, however, said the army would not allow protesters At least 25 people were killed, including several senior military officers. More than 800 people were wounded, including about 300 soldiers. Since then, the protesters have consolidated in Bangkok's main shopping area, raising the stakes as they scare off tourists and rattle the stock market. Retailers and hotels say they have lost tens of millions of dollars. "We will not allow people to hurt police officers, soldiers or civilians again..." Thousands of shirts-retired protesters listened Sunday to fiery SANSERN KAEWKAMNERD Army spokesman speeches by protest leaders who called for reinforcements. Portable toilets and tents have been trucked in, and vendors line the streets selling food, sleeping mats, clothing and red-colored souvenirs such as T-shirts, head bands and baseball caps. "The authorities have always tried to block people from joining us. But still we are getting more people," said one protest leader, Jatuporn Prompan. 2010 DOLE LECTURE FEATURING FDIC CHAIR AND KU ALUMNA SHEILA BAIR MONDAY, APRIL 19 7:30 P.M.

Is it safe to fly yet? Airline officials and some pilots say the passengerless test flights show that it is. European Union officials said air traffic could return to half its normal level on Monday if the dense cloud begins to dissipate. Germany allowed some flights to resume. Eighty percent of European airspace remained closed for a devastating fourth day on Sunday. with only 4,000 of the normal 20,000-flight schedule in the air, said Brian Flynn, deputy head of operations for Eurocontrol, which supports the air traffic control network across the European Union's 27 states. The test flights highlighted a lack of consensus on when to reopen the skies. The microscopic but potentially menacing volcanic grit began closing airports from Ireland to Bulgaria on Thursday, stranding countless passengers and leaving cargo rotting in warehouses. None of the pilots reported problems, and the aircraft underwent detailed inspections for damage to the engines and frame. KLM Royal Dutch airlines, the national German carrier Lufthansa. Air France and several regional airlines sent up test flights, probing altitudes where the cloud of ash has watted over Europe since the volcano turned active on Wednesday. British Airways planned an evening flight over the Atlantic from Heathrow, one of Europe's busiest hubs. Civil aviation authorities in each country must decide whether to resume commercial traffic, but the 27-nation EU said if weather forecasts are correct it expected half its flights to operate normally on Monday. While it was still unclear how the dust would affect jet engines, the EU said it was encouraged by promising weather predictions, at least for the next 24 hours. Meteorologists warned that the situation above Europe was constantly changing because of varying winds and the continuing, irregular eruptions from the Icelandic volcanos.

Will Hollywood's biggest stars follow? For almost every talk show host, A-list guests set a program apart from its competition. Land the exclusive couch visit from George Clooney, and expect a flood of TV watchers to follow. Rivalries among the current crop of chatterers can be crazily competitive. While hosting "The Tonight Show" O'Brien didn't always draw strong ratings among TV's insomniacs, but he did collect a steady stream of pop culture luminaries, particularly among music acts and up-and-coming actors. With O'Brien moving from a big network to cable's TBS, his viewership could slip dramatically. This year, TBS is No. 7 among cable networks, averaging 1.7 million prime-time viewers, according to Nielsen Co. figures. NBC, on the other hand, may be last among the major networks. Studio marketing executives say O'Brien won't necessarily enjoy the same priority he did on "The Tonight Show" and his previous talk show, "Late Night", but he could still be a key destination for younger, hipper performers. but its audience is more than three times larger. One executive says that if "The Night Show" suffered from poor lead-ins from NBC's anemic prime-time lineup, the situation will be even more dire at TBS, larded with reruns of shows such as "Seinfeld."

Insult, woah. --- EDITORIAL BOARD Save energy: small steps, big effects Although energy-generating elliptical machines, a LEED platinum certified house and a solar-powered Volkswagen Beetle exemplify the University's strong commitment to green energy, the energy-saving contract signed last month also deserves attention. What the contract lacks in extravagance, it makes up for in numbers. At a cost of $25 million, the University will save $2 million annually in utility costs. The savings will come from improvements to energy efficiency in 56 campus buildings. Due Recognition: The University entered into a contract with Energy Solutions Professionals (ESP) of Overland Park after the company completed a campuswide energy audit in December. The project will focus on improving heating, lighting, ventilation and water usage. It's scheduled for completion in summer 2011. ESP also designed an energy awareness program expected to save University $200,000 a year. The program will provide departments with energy evaluations and advice on energy conservation. Although many of the improvements will likely go unnoticed by students — 32-watt light bulbs changed to 28-watt light bulbs, for example — their contributions to energy efficiency on campus is considerable and deserves praise. Few energy conservation projects are less appealing than low-flow toilets —replacing three or four gallons of water with one Projects labeled as "revolutionary" or "state-of-the-art" frequently earn immediate and widespread attention. What they rarely achieve is practical, real world application. We acknowledge the merits of every green project, program and initiative at the University and we appreciate the dedication and hard work of those involved. Lesson Learned: The $25 million needed to fund the project may seem startling in contrast with the $37.3 million in University budget cuts and unfunded mandates. Despite these concerns, funding for the project is designed not to interfere with the University's budget. Yet the University's collaborative effort with ESP reminds us that sometimes the best green projects are the ones that go unnoticed. With the contract signed, we hope University officials learned from six years of strained negotiations with Chevron Energy Solutions involving a similar energy-savings deal. The Kansas Board of Regents approved $25.6 million in bonds that will be secured through the $2 million in savings each year. In addition, ESP will track and guarantee the $2 million in annual energy savings for 15 years. The company agreed to pay the difference if the savings are not realized In 2003, the University signed an $18-million contract with a company soon after it was acquired by Chevron. Under the contact, the company guaranteed one million dollars in annual savings to pay off the bonds acquired to fund the project — similar to the University's agreement with ESP. Once the project was completed, the University was saving about half that. Lengthy disputes over the remaining $500,000 soon followed. Negotiations finally ended with a settlement made just last month in which Chevron agreed to pay the University $400,000 a year for the next 12 years. Under the new energy-savings deal, if the $2 million in annual savings weren't realized or if ESP were to fail, the University would likely face an even scarier situation. ESP has only been in business since 2006 and presumably has far less financial backing than Chevron, a multi-billion dollar corporation. $400,000 is pocket change for a company the size of Chevron. The same cannot be said for the much smaller ESP. Donald W. Steeples, senior vice provost for scholarly support, referenced the company's lack of experience with universities as a primary problem contributing to the failed deal in a "Chronicle of High Education" article. After the Chevron experience, we hope University officials were more diligent in their decision to work with ESP. Without the backing of a multi-billion dollar corporation, the University won't be so lucky if things don't go as planned. -Michael Holtz for the Kansan EDITORIAL CARTOON I HATE CONFORMITY! HEY! I'M THE EXACT SAME WAY! NICHOLAS SAMBALUK RELIGION Mr. Phelps, all you need is love Recently some members of Westboro Baptist Church made another appearance on our campus, this time to protest Pride Week. In opposition to the Westboro Baptist's signs of hatred toward homosexuals, students came out in full force with signs of their own. Although there were varying degrees of creativity, the message the students sent was clear: We will not put up with that disrespect in Lawrence. Not only did the students help bring attention to the Brown Bag Drag show, which was going on simultaneously with the protest, but they also raised $1,161 for Planned Parenthood. These are both wonderful accomplishments and I applaud the students involved. However, with all of the achievements aside, I can't help but have a feeling of ambivalence. Beyond God The main reason the Westboro clan comes to events such as the Pride Week rally is with the simple goal of getting attention. So, unfortunately, the more people who come out — whether in opposition or support — the more people who see the hateful messages of the group. This is brought to an even higher degree when the media is attracted. NURSE What then would happen if instead of feeding Westboro's desire for attention, we all just ignored the group? If it no longer got the press and the attention, would it bother wasting their time, money and effort to come out? Although I don't want to say that people shouldn't voice their opinions or stand up for what they believe, I am not sure what other options there are. I can say I'm truly conflicted. It's wrong to dignify Westboro's presence by giving it attention, but it is also wrong to do nothing to counter the messages of hate put out by Westboro. BY SHAUNA BLACKMON sblackmon@kansan.com Many members of Westboro are members of a family led by patriarch Fred Phelps. Many of them are lawyers and therefore extremely familiar with their First Amendment rights. This is why past attempts at suing them have done little to deter their efforts. So if taking action — usually in the forms of anger or aggression — against the Westboro group hasn't helped the situation, and it just feels wrong to sit and watch it all happen while doing nothing, what should we do? Clearly another approach is necessary. So what if we responded to the hate expressed by the members of Westboro with our own expressions of love, tolerance and acceptance? Imagine if the next time the Westboro group came to our campus, everyone got together and held signs reading messages such as, "We love Fred Phelps, even if he is a bigot," or "We love God, Fred Phelps and gays." Although I don't really believe it would cause them to pack their bags and never come back, I do think it would put a positive message on a negative situation. I don't expect anyone — especially those directly hurt by the messages of Westboro — to welcome it with open arms. But, still, I think we can all agree that hate accomplishes nothing. Maybe Phelps has taught us something after all. Blackmon is a junior from Olathe in journalism. POLITICS Duped and drugged At one point, the term "mental illness" was only heard in psychiatric wards. Now, we encounter it on television commercials, website advertisements and in the discourse of general practitioners. Does your 10-year-old have trouble focusing in school? Well, he must have ADHD, and he needs a psychiatric drug to focus. Do you have times when you feel very sad that are followed by times when you are very happy? Well, you are bipolar and need to be prescribed an antidepressant. Diagnoses for "mood disorders" such as these have skyrocketed over the years. Except, there seems to be something very strange about how they are diagnosed: evaluations are completely subjective. Unlike other medical conditions such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease, there is no test to verify any of these disorders, which apparently affect nearly a fourth of the population. Of course, mental problems such as depression and anxiety can be very disruptive in some cases. Nonetheless, there are other theories as to why we all seem to think that we have "mental illnesses." According to Citizens Commission on Human Rights International, a mental health watchdog, none of us are really sick. The organization believes that the billions of dollars spent by psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries to convince the public, legislators and press that conditions such as ADHD and depression are actual diseases is the cause for the U.S.'s new mental illnesses. In the late 80's, industry fronted advocacy groups such as the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) redefined new mental conditions as a "treatable illness." This opened the doors to extremely profitable possibilities of being able to diagnose and medicate people for newly created mental "disorders." In truth, these disorders seem to be much more like behaviors. At times, everyone gets depressed, happy, neutral Down and Out PETER THOMAS BROTHERTON BY BRADEN KATZ bkatz@kansan.com Yet, if you are told by your television, computer and doctor that you are sick, eventually you will believe it. The psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries have created an incubator for mental health issues, and the money is rolling in. According to a study by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), doctors write prescriptions for more antidepressants than any other drug in the this country. Of the 2.5 billion drugs prescribed in 2005, 118 million were antidepressants. Go to the doctor with stress-related symptoms that range from moderate to severe, and your doctor will happily prescribe Prozac or Zoloft to solve your "disorder." If symptoms continue, go back to the doctor to be prescribed an additional anti-depressant for the rather depressing side effects of your antidepressant. Wait... what? In prescription augmentation, patients are actually prescribed an additional drug for the adverse side effects of their antidepressant. It seems that pharmaceutical companies have found a medication for everything. The psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries' effort to diagnose all of us with mental illnesses is working. Children's moods are being altered by medication and we all seem to believe that we should always feel unnaturally happy. Once again, the Food and Drug Administration is failing to regulate destructive practices of a multi-billion dollar industry.

The consequences of protecting your skin Overusing these products could create unintended outcomes BY NANCY WOLENS nwolens@kansan.com As summer approaches, medical professionals urge people to lather on the sunscreen to protect their skin from the sun's harmful rays. However, while could be blocking important vitamin D from reaching the body. Hand sanitizer can weaken the skin if overused and antiperspirants have been linked to diseases in the past. Here are a few examples: sunscreen is protecting your skin, it's also preventing your body from getting healthy vitamin D every day. As important as it is to protect your body, the products used often contain chemicals that can cause problems. Sunscreen works to protect, but also HAND SANITIZER VS. SOAP AND WATER Instead of soap and water, hand sanitizer has become a popular choice. People carry it around on a daily basis. But Quinlin said it should never be overused because too much hand washing can weaken the strength of your skin. "Hand sanitizer should be used when soap and water are not readily available but should not replace soap and water," Quinlin said. "The more vigorously you rub the better you are at getting the gel to the germs." Bittenbender said hand sanitizer is very high in alcohol content and can cause dry skin. If hands are truly dirty, then soap and water is the better choice, but if you're trying to kill germs, then hand sanitizers work fine, ALEXIS & JESSICA he said. Quinlin said the use of hand sanitizer can diminish the immunities we have naturally in our hands and that overusing hand sanitizer weakens the integrity of the skin. "Dry, cracked skin increases the chance for germs to settle into those areas," Quinlin said. "You're just giving germs a bigger reservoir to sit in." Purell WITH MOISTURE FACTORS Aloe 1 DOCTOR Soft Hand Sanitizer with moisturizing formula For hand and skin care SUNSCREEN VS. VITAMIN D Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said covering the skin's surface with sunscreen could limit the body's ability for vitamin D conversion. "Vitamin D is an important source and it may even give us a protective barrier in our cellular level against cancer." Quinlin said. However, medical professionals differ on the subject. Dr. Lee Bittenbender, with the Dermatologist Center of Lawrence, said the risk of not wearing sunscreen far exceeds whatever slight decrease in vitamin D production a Patty Quinlin, nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said vitamin D aids in the health of our bones, our energy level and our mood. person may have from wearing it. "There are a lot of studies that show the milligram amount of vitamin D that's recommended for Americans needs to be increased," Chapman said. "So many doctors are encouraging their patients to get more vitamin D and that's especially true for middle-aged and older Americans." Chapman said 15 to 20 minutes of sun exposure would allow for a sufficient amount of vitamin D. She said 20 minutes outside without sunscreen would be safe and still allow for the appropriate amount of vitamin D. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a lack of vitamin D can increase the likelihood of a disorder called rickets, which debilitates the bones. NatureMade D VITAMIN D 1000 IU D3 DIETARY SUPPLEMENT 700 TABLETS United Kingdom Import & Produce Licensing EASY INFORMATION "You can get your vitamin D from other sources than just being in the sun," Bitten-bender said. "To me, the most sense comes from protecting your skin and then maybe taking some 1000 If you're outside for six to seven hours a day sunscreen should be worn and you will still get more than enough vitamin D. But, people who overuse sunscreen or aren't spending much time outside will be vitamin D deficient, Chapman said. "Vitamin D is very important but we know skin ages very quickly under the stress of the sun and we know the sun causes certain types of skin cancer like melanoma," Quinil said. "Therefore it does behove us to continue the practice of using sunscreen."

DEODORANT Antiperspirants prevent sweating while deodorants mask odor. Minimizing the amount of sweat can help prevent body odor but antiperspirants add chemicals to the body as well. Aluminum is one of the most prevalent chemicals in antiperspirants. Quinlin said that in the 1980s research showed that individuals afflicted with Alzheimer's had a higher concentration of aluminum in their bodies. As a result, people began to quit using antiperspirants and move to plain deodorant. But, Quinlin said there is no concrete data on how much the daily use of antiperspirants increases your risk of Alzheimer's. "We all sweat differently," Quin- - Edited by Kristen Liszewski lin said. "If someone can get by with plain deodorant and be comfortable and have those around them be comfortable I say go for it." Quinlin said her best advice, since there are so many unknowns, is to avoid putting as many chemicals into their body as possible. So, use the lowest level of protection that's agreeable with you.

SOFTBALL | 10B WWW.KANSAN.COM MONDAY, APRIL 19, 2010 See more Kansas Relays COMMENTARY For extra photos visit KANSAN.COM/PHOTOS/GALLERIES PAGE 1B Selby is good news for Jayhawks BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com twitter.com/clark_goble Josh Selby's commitment to Kansas on Saturday makes two things official. The first: Bill Self doesn't The first: Bill Self doesn't rebuild. He reloads. The second: Selby puts Kansas in the 2011 national title conversation. Selby, the No. 4 recruit in Rivals' class of 2010 rankings, told the nation his college plans during a first-half media timeout at the Jordan Brand Classic in Madison Square Garden. His commitment places Kansas with Baylor and Kansas State as contenders for the Big 12 title in 2011. All three teams should go into the season with top-15 rankings and national title aspirations. Sports Illustrated's Luke Winn, who was courtside at Madison Square Garden, tweeted that he heard Selby was considering committing to Tennessee on Saturday night. But Selby didn't waver, sticking with Kansas like most recruiting analysts thought he would. Kansas fans waiting for Selby's announcement saw an impressive display even before he made the announcement. — Edited by Ashley Montgomery James Naismith court will see more behind-the-back passes, and fake behind-the-back passes, than ever before. Selby threw numerous highlight-reel caliber alley-oops, and even though defense was not a priority in the game, Selby's athletic ability is tantalizing. He has the range to shoot deep three-pointers, but he's aggressive enough to take better shots closer to the basket and create basket opportunities for teammates. Selby's commitment might also pay other dividends for Self. Terrence Jones, the No.13 recruit in the class of 2010 according to Rivals, is close to Selby and will make an official visit to Lawrence within the next couple weeks. Jones, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Portland, Ore., would give Kansas depth that could rival any program's. Even without Jones, Kansas will be among the most athletic teams in the country. Selby will likely start at point guard with junior Tyshawn Taylor manning the off-guard position. Junior Marcus Morris will figure in somewhere, but it's not yet clear where he will play. Self said during the season that he didn't want to play Morris at a guard position, but Morris projects as a small forward in the NBA. Morris needs to handle the ball better if Self decides to keep him on the perimeter. Those three will start,but the other two spots are completely up for grabs. The other returning players bring a combination of experience and raw potential that will make Kansas a strong competitor next season. MEN'S BASKETBALL Selby selects Kansas on national television BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter/c/thibodeaux Highly recruited guard makes pick during Jordan Brand Classic game The transition from Sherron Collins to the next point guard doesn't look so daunting after Saturday night. Josh Selby, Rivals.com's fourth-ranked player in this year's recruiting class, signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball at Kansas. He announced his commitment on national television during the first half of the Jordan Brand Classic Saturday night. "It's tough," Selby said on ESPN2, "but I'm going to be a Kansas Jayhawk." He said he liked coach Bill Self's personality and the opportunity to take over a winning program from the void Collins once filled. Jerry Meyer, National Basketball Recruiting Analyst for Rivals.com, said the possible point guard switch from Collins to Selby will be more than a smooth transition. "I think it's an upgrade," Meyer said. "Sherron Collins was good, but Selby is on a whole other level." Losing two explosive guards, Collins and freshman Xavier Henry, meant the layhawks had to find someone to replace that type of output. JIMMY MCCORMICK Josh Selby, who verbally committed to Kansas on Saturday, attempts a shot against the East Team during the National Game at the 2010 Jordan Brand classic at Madison Square Garden. Selby announced his decision during a media timeout on ESPN2. He is the No. 4 ranked player in the 2019 recruiting class according to Rivals.com. The highest-scoring guard returning next season is sophomore Tyshawn Taylor, who had 7.2 points per game last season. Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images Now Selby comes in with a dynamic the current players don't, Meyer said, and what he can do to defenses will help players like Taylor next season.

Campbell Brown set a Kansas Relays record with a time of 22.32, defeating the previous record by over 3.10 s of a record. nroeslerkansan.com BY NICOLAS ROESLER One of the two women in history to ever win back-toback gold medals in Olympic history set the Kansas Relays record in the 200-meter event Saturday. Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica ran a 22.32 second 200, beating the old Kansas Relays record of 22.59 by 27 seconds. "The meet record was on my mind as I warmed up because it has been here for a long time," Campbell-Brown said. "And I felt like things were going great and I should go for it, and I'm thankful that I got it." The previous record was set by Aleen Bailey in 2001. Campbell-Brown broke it with a quick start out of the blocks and a relentless finish, beating the rest of her field by more than a second. Campbell-Brown won the Olympic gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens in the 200, and then defended her title four years later in Beijing becoming only one of two women to defend her medal in the 200. Campbell-Brown has another meet coming up in May and said that she was happy to get off to a good start at the Kansas Relays. Although the Kansas Relays represent the beginning of a new season, it also represents the commencement of the run to London in 2012 to defend her title for a third time.

With the way junior left fielder Jimmy Waters swung the bat against the Cornhuskers, he might not be welcome back at Haymarket Park any time soon. Kansas struck first to take an early 1-0 lead, but Nebraska quickly answered back. BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter.com/bm_dub Walz, who also hails from Omaha, had earned a victory in each of his two previous starts against his hometown club, but could not repeat that success. Waters, a junior from Omaha, hit four home runs over the weekend to pace Kansas (22-14-1, 5-6-1) offensively and lift the club to an important series victory against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers blasted Walz for five runs on seven hits in the second inning, and then added two more in the third to take a commanding 7-1 lead. "We needed that series win about as bad as any team in the country needed a win," coach Ritch Price said. After the Cornhuskers extended their lead to 10-1, the Jayhawks fought back. Junior outfielder Casey Lytle hit an RBI single and Robby Price blasted a three-run home run in the eighth, and Waters hit a two-run shot in the ninth to narrow the deficit — but the rally ultimately fell short in a 11-7 defeat. "To fight back like we did on Friday night and put some runs on the board really got some momentum going for the rest of the week end," coach Price said. Waters said aside from moment, the difficult loss provided the Jayhawks with some additional motivation.

Or raise your hand if you are afraid that this is the last season of this certain professional league before the dollars-and-cents game takes control? Such is the state of America's No.1 league, the NFL. In Super Bowl XLIII, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals with one of the greatest Super Bowl plays of all time. Ben Roethlisberger tossed a pass to Santonio Holmes for a touchdown with only seconds left on the clock. Now both players are seen in a totally different light, and the decisions of these two "role models" gives the NFL a bad name. Because of his actions, Holmes was even shipped off to a different team. So far this NFL offseason there have been the usual off-field issues (Come on, it's the NFL). But it's the individual and the degree of their actions that is most interesting. --- Well, for those who don't want to hear about Ben and his little Roethlisberger or any other player complain about his contract again, this coming week is for you. The NFL is giving the people what they want. No, not NFL sensitivity BY ANDREW HAMMOND training (as fascinating as that would be), but instead it's the NFL entering a new frontier in primetime. This week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and his NFL Network are increasing coverage of the league even more. For the first time, the NFL will devote two hours on the NFL Network and ESPN to a schedule release special. Instead of seeing the schedule posted on the Internet, the NL will give fans insight and showcase the important games on your favorite teams schedule. To some this may sound like another way the NL is trying to cram its product down our collective threats. It's not. The NFL recognizes that football is now a 24-7, 365-day event and giving fans new and innovative ways to stay connected to the game is very cutting edge THE MORNING BREW elected to the game is very cutting edge. The coup de grace of the NFLs Christmas in April is the NFL Draft being broadcast for the first time in primetime. Although I disagree with the possibility of a player like Sam Bradford getting $50 million contract from the St. Louis Rams, it will be cool to see some of the best players in the last decade get time in the spotlight in New York City. The draft gives us a chance to not focus on who's complaining about their contract or who's going to kick it in the courtroom instead of the weight room. As football fans, we need to take in these few moments when the NFL focuses on competition and its players instead of suspensions and labor agreements.

In the homestretch it was all Stowe, who broke apart from her teammate to comfortably win with a time of 4:28.69 while Christensen finished second with a time of 4:31.26. Christensen said she and Stowe had a friendly rivalry going into the meet. "Both of our goals were to beat each other," Christensen said. Stowe said she was happy with the first place finish, but has bigger goals in mind. "I'm hoping to make some big improvements over the rest of the year and maybe even make it to nationals." Stowe said. "This is an exciting win, but I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do." Freshman Kathleen Thompson finished in last place with a time of 5.08.76, but was battling allergies during the Kansas Relays, and said she was disappointed with the outcome. The men's race was much closer with different runners taking the lead throughout the race. In the final lap sophomore Don Wasinger battled Pittsburg State's Mujahid Hassaballa, and in the final 100 meters it was an open race. But Wasinger pulled it together in the last 50 meters and won the race with a time of 3:51.55 - .44 seconds better than Hassaballa, who place second. Wasinger said Hassaballa gave him a scare at the end of the race. "I was a little bit worried but I Last year at the Relays, Wasinger placed fifth in the 1500 event with a time of 3:49.03. w able to pull it together, so I'm happy." Wasinger said. Kansas' other two racers had less-than memorable performances with sophomore Greg Bussing finishing sixth with a time of 3:54.96 and sophomore Kaleb Humphreys finished in last place with a time of 4:01.29. "I could've done better, and it wasn't a very strong performance for me," Humphreys said. "I felt I was in the race until the last lap, and then my legs kind of tightened up." — Edited by Kate Larrabee DISTANCE MEDLEY Women earn first in relay, finish 17 seconds ahead of K-State team BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com 8 5 In unsurprising fashion, Kansas won first place in the women's distance medley relay Friday at Memorial Stadium. Sophomore Corinne Christensen, junior Anna Barber, senior Lauren Bonds and sophomore Rebeka Stowe were the favorites going in, and predictably ousted the competition, finishing the 4,400 yard medley in just over 12 minutes. Spencer Walsh/KANSAN Sophomore distance runner Don Wasinger shakes hands with an opponent after the Men's 1500 Meter Run. Wasinger won first place, helping KU sweep both the Men's and Women's 1500 Meter with a time of 3:51.55. The finish was nearly 17 seconds ahead of second-place Kansas State. Bonds, who in 2009 was the first KU female athlete to compete at the NCAA Cross Country National Championships since 1994, enjoyed a part of her last hurrah in the crimson and blue. "I'm not thinking about it too much." Bonds said of her looming graduation. "I'm just trying to have fun this weekend." After a sunny week of practice, Bonds and her teammates had to cope with cooler temperatures and slight gusts of wind on Friday. But she said that it was perfect weather for distance running. Though the distance medley is not her favorite event, Bonds said that experience has helped improve her confidence. "You don't have to worry about drinking water much," Bonds said. "You need to race, it doesn't matter which event," Bonds said. "I'm just telling myself to compete. Don't think about what times you are running, or this or that. Then I'll freak out."

Scott passed the first four heights and vaulted over 5.17 meters on the first try. Scott, the returning Kansas Relays champion, couldn't make the 5.32 meter mark. Jordan Scott failed to repeat his recent career best height TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Blue and red hair, along with a pink breast cancer logo dyed on the back of his head, wasn't enough to carry Jordan Scott to his second consecutive first-place finish in pole vaulting at the Kansas Relays. At a height of 5.32 meters (roughly 17 feet and 5.5 inches), Scott came up shy on all three of his attempts. He tied for a disappointing third place finish after clearing 16-feet-11.5 inches. "I want to say it was a factor," Scott said of the 55-degree weather. "But anybody can jump well on any given day. There was a strong tailwind, so I had a little trouble dropping the pole into the box." Scott was coming off a career best day at his last event, the Texas Relays. He set a personal best of 18-feet-8.75 inches, two inches shy of the Kansas record, but he took second because he had more misses. The senior All-American said he was disappointed he didn't place better at his last Kansas Relays, but that he still had a chance at a great season. "I should've made that last bar, but you know, pole vaulting is one of those sports where you can have a great day or you can have a bad day and jump the same," Scott said. Scott's next challenge comes at the Drake Relays. Already regarded as one of the best pole vaulters in Kansas history, Scott hopes to cement that reputation by setting the Kansas record and making a run at a national title. "I was jumping well today, I just came up a little short on all three bars." Scott said. "My technique is there. My ability is there. I just need to wait for some good weather and a good event to get a good bar at."

Collin Johnson/KANSAN MLB Ramirez home run lifts Dodgers to win LOS ANGELES — Manny Ramirez hit a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning for career homer No. 548, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Ramirez, who didn't start for the second straight day because of tightness in his right calf, drove a 1-2 pitch from right-hander Sergio Romo (0-1) into the left field pavilion with one out after Barry Zito walked pinch-hitter Garret Anderson. Ramon Troncoso (1-0) retired Juan Uribe on a fielder's choice with the bases-loaded to end the eighth to earn the victory. Ramirez's homer was his second as a pinch-hitter in 18 big league seasons. The 12-time All-Star's other one came on July 22, 2009, against Cincinnati at Dodger Stadium. Uribe snapped a scoreless tie in the seventh with a one-out homer off Clayton Kershaw. The Giants have scored fewer than three runs in 58 of Zito's 101 starts for them. The hard-luck left-hander had the second-lowest run support in the majors last season, a career-low (3.38). Ramirez's homer prevented Zito from starting a season 3-0 for the first time in his 11-year career. Associated Press There's no place like here Kansas to find a great job. Kansas to find a great job.

He did just that over the weekend, and the message was loud and clear. The Omaha native blasted four home runs and drove in seven runs to lead the Jayhawks on offense. ST In perspective After the disappointing outing to begin the series on Friday, the Jayhawks did exactly what they needed to on Saturday and Sunday to earn the essential series victory. With its conference record now sitting at a respectable 5-6-1 - good for right around the middle of the pack - Kansas needs to keep turning in strong weekend performances to contend for a Big 12 title. Heating up at the hot corner Junior third baseman Tony Thompson continues to make progress at the plate, going 4-for-11 over the weekend with one RBI, one walk and one run scored. 10 Series to forget Junior T.J. Walz Walz grew up a big Cornhuskers fan, and had enjoyed great success against his hometown team, with two victories in two previous starts. But Nebraska rocked Walz on Friday, teeing off on the junior for seven runs on nine hits and chasing him from the game with only one out in the fifth. Walz STATE Word of the weekend "I'm really happy with the way the team is playing right now, we never give up, we never go into a game against anybody thinking that we don't deserve to be there," senior pitcher Cameron Selik said. PENNINGTON 1-13 From the stat sheet Thompson Selik Kansas' pitching staff did an excellent job containing the Big 12 best hitter, Adam Bailey, who came into the series leading the conference in batting average and home runs. For the series, the Jayhawks limited Bailey to only 1-13 hitting with two RBI, one coming on a sacrifice fly, and struck him out four times. Game notes Price check, again Robby Price continued his torrid pace at the plate with a 7-for-13 weekend with four RBis, four runs scored and a walk. After tallying at least one hit in each game of the series, Price has now hit safely in a career-high 21 games. SUNY STATE Tickets available for Wednesday Price The Kansas City Royals have announced ticket prices for Wednesday's (4/21) non-conference game between Kansas and Missouri at Kauffman Stadium. General admission seats in the Lower Bowl of the stadium can be purchased for $10, while Kids' (ages 6-18) tickets are just $5 apiece. Freshman pitcher displays his talent in game against Nebraska BY ANDREW HAMMOND ahammond@kansan.com Ben Ward Jimmy Waters and Robby Price grabbed the headlines in the 2-1 series victory against Nebraska this weekend, but it was the pitching staff that served as the foundation for Kansas' success. On Saturday, after Kansas' 7-4 victory against Nebraska, the coaching staff put the ball in the hands of freshman Tanner Poppe in the third and final game of the series. Similar to what Cameron Selik did on Saturday, Poppe had a stellar outing for the Jayhawks. He went six innings, gave up four hits and one run. The victory gave the Jayhawks their first series victory against the Cornhuskers since 1996. "I just remained poised when I went out there and I was ready to play today." Pope said. Even before, Poppe took the mound, he already had a 1-0 Cornhuskers appeared poised to make a charge. They had two runners on and no outs. lead thanks to a Tony Thompson RBI single. Kansas' pitchers benefited from solid run support throughout the last two games in the series after only scoring one run in Friday's game. But Poppe forced a sacrifice "It gave me a great chance to just go out and pitch my game." "The offense gave us a huge boost with those early runs," Poppe said. "It gave me a great chance to just go out and pitch my game." In the sixth inning, the TANNER POPPE freshman pitcher fly and then got an inning- ending double play. Although a run was given up, the damage could have been worse. so getting that pop up and double play was big," Poppe said. "It was good defense and helped us get out of a jam." "I was a little tired and my arm was wearing down - Edited by Kristen Liszewski BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "I think everybody on the team took it personally." Waters said of the loss. "I don't think any of us ever felt like they were a better team than us." Aided by that confidence and a heightened sense of urgency, Kansas again jumped out to an early lead on Saturday. "Going in, I knew I had to be the guy to set the tone and give The ninth place hitter, junior shortstop Brandon Macias, stepped to the plate in the third inning with two runners on base, and lowered his bat like he would attempt a sacrifice bunt. But Macias pulled the bat back and ripped a three-run home run to left field, his first of the season. For the second straight Saturday, senior Cameron Selik was sharp from the mound. Bolstered by the early 3-0 edge, Selik mowed down the Cornhuskers over his seven innings of work, allowing only one earned run on five hits while striking out four. the team a chance to win the game "and the series." Selk said. While Selik handled the Cornhuskers, the layhawks tacked on four more runs to make, including an RBI single by Price and another home run by Waters. Those runs would prove essential, as Nebraska capitalized on an error by Macias to score two uneared runs in the sixth, and threatened in the ninth - but sophomore Colton Murray closed them out for his fourth save of the season. By the series finale on Sunday, Nebraska surely had seen enough of Waters. With Kansas already ahead 1-0 in the third, Waters crushed a three-run home run to right-center field to provide freshman Tanner Poppe with a solid lead he refused to relinquish. And later with the Jayhawks ahead 5-1 in the eighth. Waters again stepped into the box. Because he hadn't recorded a SCORES KU N Friday - L, 7-11 Saturday - W, 7-4 Sunday - W, 6-1 hit aside from the three that left the ballpark, Waters said he would have settled for a single. But with how locked-in Waters was at the plate, he launched the first pitch he saw over the left field fence for his fourth hit - and fourth home run - of the series, which capped off a 6-1 Jayhawks victory. "That's a pretty good weekend," he said. "I'll take it." — Edited by Kristen Liszewski SELBY (CONTINUED FROM 1B) The Kansas coaching staff is relieved to get this done. And in the Jordan Brano Classic, Selby showed why he is so highly touted, scoring 21 points with four assists, and he looked flashy doing it with dunks and behind-the-back passes. "We felt like losing the caliber players we lost off of last year's team," Self said in a news release Sunday, "that we really needed to hit a home run from a talent standpoint in the spring signing and we've done that with Josh." Selby is a 6-foot-3, 180-pound high school senior from Lake Clifton High School in Baltimore. When everyone thinks Selby, a combo guard, they just see a pure scorer. What many don't realize is he can distribute the ball just as well. "I don't know why people think he's just a gunner, because he's not," Meyer said. "Josh Selby is an incredible competitor. He plays with flash and flair, which I personally love watching." With Rivals.com five-star recruit Doron Lamb, another prospective Kansas recruit, opting for Kentucky along with Brandon Knight last week, the Jayhawks lost out on highly regarded prospects. With guard Royce Woolridge signing back in November, Kansas wanted another top-notch player. Meyer said not only are the Jayhawks getting a key replacement to a legendary guard like Collins, but they received the best player in this recruiting class. It also poises them for high expectations in 2011. "I think it was vital for Kansas to get Josh Selby." Meyer said. "To be honest, I knew from the jump that I was going to go to Kansas," he said. "I just wasn't quite sure a slight bit because I built a great relationship with the Tennessee coaching staff. But I knew I was home when I chose Kansas." Selby was recruited by schools including Arizona, Kentucky and Connecticut, but his final candidates came down to Tennessee and Kansas. He said the chance to win compelled him to become a Jayhawk. At the Jordan Brand postgame press conference. Selby admitted choosing his college wasn't as difficult as he made it appear to be. NHL Pittsburgh takes 2-1 lead over Ottawa ASSOCIATED PRESS OTTAWA — Sidney Crosby had a goal and an assist, Evgeni Malkin scored his third playoff goal, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Ottawa Senators 4-2 on Sunday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference series. Marc-Andre Fleury made 20 saves and Alexei Ponikarovsky and Bill Guerin also scored for the defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins, who won their second in a row following a 5-4 loss to the Senators in the series opener. Malkin restored Pittsburgh's one-goal lead at 2-1 in the second not long after Fisher drew the Senators even with a power-play goal 1:53 into the period. The 2009 Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the playoff MVP, Malkin jumped on a loose puck beside Elliott and fired into an open net at 5:57 after the Ottawa goalie failed to poke it away. Mike Fisher and Matt Cullen scored power-play goals for Ottawa. Game 4 is Tuesday night in Ottawa. Maxim Talbot drew an assist on the play, pushing the puck away from rookie Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson as the two raced toward the goal to recover the puck after it got away from Malkin on a rush into the Senators' zone. Crosby, who had five points in the first two games in Pittsburgh, made it a 3-1 with 44.4 seconds left in the second. The Penguins' 22-year-old captain carried the puck across the goalmouth from the right corner, holding onto it before putting a shot over a sprawled Elliott for his first power-play goal of the playoffs. Crosby added his seventh point, his fifth assist, when Guerin's breakaway goal increased the lead to three 4:27 into the third. Fisher gave the Senators' fans some hope when he converted Ottawa's first power-play opportunity early in the second to tie it at 1. Cullen's goal at 12:58 of the third also came with the man advantage, though it only drew the Senators within two. Ponikarovsky quietened the Scotiabank Place crowd with his first goal 1:17 in.

In turn, Kansas was swept by No. 9 Oklahoma State 11-3 and 4-3 this week. Kansas fell to 18-26 (1-10) while Oklahoma State improved its winning streak to 16 and moved to 39-7 (9-0). Smith said she liked that Kansas fought no matter what the score was, and it was a good mentality for the team to have. "When we carry this fight through every game, we are going to win some games because of it, so I want them to keep it up," Smith said. "We're just fighters. Some days it works in our favor, and some days it doesn't." In the past three series, Kansas has had a pattern of producing a poor showing in its first game, then having a very close second game. Smith said it's a combination of the team getting the feel of its opponent, and her motivating the team to perform has helped Kansas have a better second game. "In second games they come out with a fire and determination that is fueled by the first game," Smith said. In game one Oklahoma State came out and scored four in the top of the first. Kansas tried to answer in the bottom of the first, having the bases loaded with no outs, but failed to score a run. Oklahoma State scored another run in the third to put it up 8-0. Kansas scored a lone run in the third, but Oklahoma State score 3 in the fifth to go up 10 runs. Kansas scored two more in the fifth, but it wasn't enough to prevent Kansas from being run-ruled as Kansas fell to Oklahoma State 11-3 in five innings. Game two started ugly for Kansas, which committed three errors in the first two innings, helping the Cowgirls build a three-run lead. Kansas struggled to get hits throughout the game, but sophomore infielder Marissa Ingle got things rolling for Kansas as she belted her fifth home run of the season into left-center in the bottom of the fifth to pull Kansas within two. The home run was the first earned run Oklahoma State pitcher Kat Espinosa had given up in 45 innings. Ingle said those sort of hits are exactly what a team needs when it is being shut out. "We'll have girls striking out, and they'll be like 'dang, she got me,' but if teammates are hitting, it'll be like 'oh, if she is hitting her, I'm going to SOFTBALL TEAM SWEPT BY OKLAHOMA STATE The Jayhawks continue a pattern: Get blown out in the first game, and a close loss in the second game.

Oklahoma State quickly responded with a run in the sixth, but Kansas went back to work, scoring two runs on a dropped two-out fly ball. Kansas had an opportunity to tie or take the lead, but instead stranded runners on the corners at the end of the inning. Neither team would make a move in the seventh, and Kansas' upset bid fell short as Oklahoma State escaped Kansas 4-3. The Jayhawks' bad start was the difference in the game. "Defensively we had some miscues, and if our defense was on point, we would've won," Smith said. "They're a solid team all the way around." Smith said.

After playing five games in five days, Kansas will only play one game in the next five days. Junior catcher Brittany Hile said she is happy to get a little time to rest. "It's going to be nice to not have to Mike Gunnell/KANSAN travel and on our home field for a couple of days." Hite said.

Khaneskaya won 6-4, 6-7(9), 11-9. "I think I was lucky," Khanevskaya said. "Because when she missed the volley on her match ball I just couldn't believe it. I just played my game. I just made balls and everything." She was the last finisher after sophomore Erin Wilbert also won a third set tiebreaker one court over. Wilbert won 6-4, 4-6, 10-5. "It was a little nerve racking for me just because I have had a lot of matches where it could go either way like I have been up and had trouble closing out the match," Wilbert said. "I went into it with the attitude that I was going to jump on her really fast and try to get up really quick and go as hard as I could and that is how I got up. I started to get nervous again and started choking and she started coming back and then all I needed was one more point to get my confidence back and that was all it took." At one point when both Khanevskaya and Wilbert were in their tiebreakers they turned to each other and said a couple words of encouragement. "It is always nice to know that someone is in the same position that you are and to have someone out there supporting you and you being there for the other person," Wilbert said. "It helps me a lot when I hear my teammate getting loud and just the team in general getting loud because I think that is what we need. We all feed off of each other and it is really important even when we are all on the court to be cheering each other on."

Lots of students still go home over breaks and the lucky few whose parents haven't converted their rooms into a home gym are preserved in pre-college surries. Whether you are sleeping in the bed you've had since elementary school, or the futon next to dad's new elliptical, being under the same roof as your parents just feels like home. But in reality we spend three quarters of the year in dorm rooms or apartments at the University. It's understandable to feel torn An oldie but a goodie, some students opt to string up colorful lights. A well placed strand around a window or a door frame adds a quirky ambiance and provides decent mood lighting for a cozy cuddle or a movie night with friends. Look for returned lights or check out the post-holiday sales for a reduced price. "My roommates and I got some in KU colors so they are more special," said Luke between which one is actually "home" and where you feel more comfortable. With a few simple do-it-yourself projects, even the most frugal college student can create a sense of hominess for their semi-permanent residence at school. Even those not blessed with a green thumb can enjoy foliage in the form of a cactus or bamboo plant, both almost impossible to kill. Ranker, a freshman from Ellsworth. "We call them our mood lights." A little greenery can go a long way to making your college residence feel more inviting, too. Even those not blessed with a green thumb can enjoy foliage in the form of a cactus or bamboo plant, both almost impossible to kill. But if the responsibility of becoming a fulltime potted plant owner seems overwhelming, buy store bought flowers instead. "I had a date that brought me flowers once and I liked the brightness and life it added to my room so I make an effort to buy some every few weeks," Emily Cappo, a freshman from Overland Park, said. If you aren't confident in your gardening skills, try your hand at personalized wall paper. Taking advantage of the poster sales hosted by the Union at the beginning and end of a semester is always a safe bet but there are many creative options you can choose from if you want to go for something more original.

Matthew Shepard, a junior from Norton, those are the three best things about living in a scholarship hall and in that order. The people are at the top of Shepard's list because of the sense of community that scholarship-hall living encourages. Although almost 30,000 students attend the University of Kansas, only about 50 people live in each of the 12 scholarship halls, six of which are for women and six for men. The close-knit atmosphere influenced Sadie Johnson, a sophomore from Osage, to live in a scholarship hall instead of the dorms her freshman year. "It was a really easy decision," Johnson said. When deciding where to go to college, Kara Walker, a sophomore from Manhattan, said part of the reason she chose the University is because it provides scholarship halls for its students. She likes this living style because it's not as large as a dorm, making her feel more at home. SADIE JOHNSON Osage sophomore "Schol halls are not just full of nerdy people!" "For me, the scholarship halls are exactly what I want," Walker said. Johnson said inter-hall activities are competitive and many students participate. Walker agrees with Shepard about the advantages for involvement at the scholarship halls. From fundraisers to formals, she said social activities are fun things that students living in apartments wouldn't be able to experience. Involvement through leadership roles is also especially important for Shepard, who serves as president of the All Scholarship Hall Council. Other leadership opportunities, like executive board in each hall, are also available. Friends and activities aside, Shepard and Abby Asamoah, a sophomore from Ghana. "It's good clean fun," Johnson said. KARA WALKER Manhattan Sophomore "For me, the scholarship halls are exactly what I want." said the food is another great advantage to living in the scholarship halls. The scholarship halls have eating and cooking advantages, like ice cream, fresh fruit and 24/7 access to the pantry, in comparison to other living arrangements, said Asamoah. The halls also provide home-cooked meals for lunch and dinner. In order to enjoy the privileges of living in the scholarship halls, however, students must take on certain responsibilities that aren't required when living in a dorm. In addition to maintaining a 2.5 GPA, each student must contribute to the cooking and cleaning of his or her hall. Walker, who lives in the Margaret Amini hall, said each student in her hall must complete one shift of cooking a semester. "It's cool to come up with your own recipes," Walker said. "It's fun to use exciting recipes and put your own personal flair into it." Although scholarship-hall students have extra responsibilities, Walker said she doesn't see any cons to living this way. Shepard and Asamoah both said one of the only downsides was sharing a room with someone, knowing that if they lived in an apartment they could have their own bedrooms. Regardless, Shepard said the pros of living in the halls greatly outweigh the cons. Walker said that people who are interested in the scholarship halls are welcome to visit; she said the students living there are more than happy to give visitors tours and answer questions. Although Johnson said most scholarship hall students are academically talented and involved, she wanted to clear a misconception associated with scholarship hall residents "Schol halls are not just full of nerdy people!" Johnson said.

Often, landlords require an extra fee to change roommates or to find a subleaser. BY AUTUMN MORNINGSKY amorningsky@kansan.com When a former classmate told Sarah Salazar, a junior from Broken Arrow, Oklaw., that she needed a roommate, she jumped at the opportunity. In August she moved into a six-bedroom house with five other girls. But by the end of February, Salazar was looking for someone to replace her on the lease. "They're just not the type of people I would hang out with," Salazar said. "I really think you need to know the people you're living with before you move in with them, instead of getting a random assignment like I did." Salazar is one of many students looking to sublease their apartments after finding their living arrangements didn't go as planned. Finding a suitable replacement, however, can be the biggest challenge. Shane Nickels, a graduate student from Hutchinson, began advertising his two-bedroom apartment last January, and has yet to find a replacement. After his roommate moved out, Nickels was left to pay the entire rent — $670 plus $300 in bills — by himself. When he heard he had been accepted to a summer orchestra program in Santa Barbara, Calif., he posted ads and flyers on campus, Craigslist, LawrenceRent, com, and Facebook. "It's been an ongoing battle," he said. If Huong Le, a sophomore from Hanoi, Vietnam, doesn't find someone to rent her bedroom, she will pay rent while she stays in Vietnam for the summer. To avoid being lost in the throng of sublease ads, Le decided to offer an incentive. "There is a $200 fee that the new roommate would have to pay." Le said. "I offered to pay for it." Other hopeful subleasers have followed suit. Nickels offered to pay for half of the $670 security deposit. Salazar said she would lower the rent payment from $465 to $415 and cover the difference. While many contracts vary, Nickels' lease agreement states that if he wants out of his lease, he must find a replacement as well as pay his landlord an expensive commissioning fee. According to Salazar's lease, if she doesn't find a replacement, she is still responsible for paying her part of the rent. Though finding a replacement is possible, the process is time-consuming and frustrating. "Don't assume that getting a sublease would be easy," Nickels said. "It's really a pain in the ass."

This sense of community is what keeps people coming back year after year. There are mostly international students with families who live there, and it is like "a snapshot of the world." according to Wamelink. Just southwest of Allen Fieldhouse, Stouffer Place is right on campus, something that is a benefit for the graduate students, married couples with families, and post-doctoral researchers who occupy the 283 apartments on site. Stouffer Place offers one, two, and three bedroom apartments, but the two and three bedroom units are reserved only for those families with children. Those are also renovated and have central air, while the one bedroom apartments are not. Since many of the families living there have kids, there are multiple playgrounds on A resident can provide his or her own window air conditioning unit.

The borrowing of a car, or even having to be chauffeured around, can cause a lot of problems amongst roommates and friends. David Lazar, a sophomore from Chicago, said it was frustrating always lending his car to his roommate. "I literally find myself giving him the keys every day," Lazar said. "It's gotten to the point where he uses it more than me." Lazar said that paying for gas had been another issue for he and his roommate. While sharing and borrowing a car can be a difficult, there are plenty of ways to prevent a bad situation. Brian Bakal, a sophomore from Chicago, said he and his roommates had reached an agreement on the use of his car. "It's my car, so I have first dibs on it," Bakal said. "But I am usually very generous with lending my car to my roommates." Bakal said they worked out a weekly schedule for who gets the car each day, as well as a payment plan for when each person needs to put gas in it. If problems arise, Bakal suggests that sitting down and talking rationally about specific problems is the best way to solve them. Going to college without a car can bring extra stress as people try to figure out how to get to class or even the grocery store. Hannah Baldinger, a sophomore from Boston, said she has found a lot of alternatives to owning a car. CARLTON "Luckily Lawrence and KU really have a terrific bus system," Baldinger said. "You don't have to walk far to be able to find a bus stop close to your home, and the best thing about it is that they run real late." Baldinger said that students who depend on a roommate's ride should go above and beyond to show that they could take care of the car. Lending and borrowing a car between roommates is best handled with planning, communication and compromise. — Edited by Taylor Bern Jerry Wang/KANSAN Students who share a car with a roommate can experience frustration and inconvenience. To prevent difficult situations, working out a weekly schedule and be sure to plan, communicate and compromise. What More Could You Want?

Sometime between 2:30 and 2:45 Sunday morning a large silver SUV crashed into the front of Louise's West, 1307 W. 7th St. Sgt. Bill Cory of the Lawrence Police Department said that they are looking for a silver SUV with substantial front end damage. The car was last seen driving eastbound on 7th St. General manager PJ. Mather said she is still working on getting an estimate on the cost of the damages. She said the Lawrence police told her they are making progress on the case, but could not divulge anymore information at this time. Mather is offering a $1,000 reward for information about the identity of the driver. Anyone with information should call the Lawrence Police Department at 785-832-7650. — Edited by Kristen Liszewski Even though it has larger stops such as Austin, Texas, Tempe, Ariz., and Columbus, Ohio., Justin Raines, a junior from Wichita, said he wasn't surprised that the carnival would make a stop in Lawrence. Adult Swim is in the middle of its three-week, 10-city tour, traveling to college towns across the U.S. It had to cordon off the Eighth Street block between New Hampshire Street and Massachusetts Street to make room for its over-the-top brand of humor. "Lawrence is kind of known to be a fun and hip town," Raines said. "A lot of people love Adult Swim around here."

A GENERATION ABLAZE Forty years ago today, the Kansas Union burned during one of the most tense periods in Lawrence history — a time that saw protests, fires and bombings. BY BRENNA HAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com David Awbrey recalls sitting inside his house on Tennessee Street on a dark Monday night when someone outside called that the Kansas City fire department had been outside. David Awbrey recalls sitting inside his house on Tennessee Street on a dark Monday night when someone outside yelled that the Kansas Union was on fire. He peered up the steep hill and saw an orange glow — it had to be the Union. He ran up the hill to get closer, and saw a fire of Hollywood proportions flames were shooting into the sky. It was spectacular, both in size and what it said about the turmoil on the KU campus that April of 1970 exactly 40 years ago today. Awbrey had just finished his term as student body president on a campus that had more than 17,000 students. He was one of thousands to watch the Union burn that night, as fire damaged rooms on the fifth and sixth floors and collapsed part of the roof. Awbrey and his classmates had witnessed a semester dominated by anti-Vietnam War protests, bombings, racial confrontations and fires, all while in fear of being called up for the draft. For some, it was a relatively normal semester: they attended class, studied and graduated. But the activism that exploded on and around campus touched everyone. For more than three weeks that spring, the University and Lawrence saw one of the most chaotic periods in campus and city history. Spring 1970 had all the ingredients of a political action flicks suspected arson of the KU Union; homemade bombs flung through shop windows and toward campus buildings; deep-seated hatred of the Vietnam War; racial conflicts at Lawrence High School that brought out tear gas and tire irons; a nightly curfew ordered by the governor that landed many in jail; a march by an angry crowd who smashed windows in the ROTC building in retaliation for deaths of Kent State students at the hands of the Ohio National Guard; and, ultimately, a controversial decision by the chancellor to end the school year and cool the conflict.

CARNIVAL (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "I love Adult Swim because of the random shows," Wineberger said. "It's my kind of humor." Mark Wineaberger, a freshman from Garden City, said the programming is exactly why he came out to the carnival. The programming block from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., which began in 2001, offers off-the-wall shows and unique humor that tends to be popular with high school and college students. All the games were free and offered some sort of prize. ADULT SWIMTOUR The carnival games included classics such as Children Hospital Surgery Center, an operation-like game played with a 10-foot poll. Wet 'N Wild Face Hole Toss, a beanbag toss game, and Pin the Parts on Carl, a pin the tail on the donkey game in which students tried to place chest hair, jewelry – and even a bulge – on Carl, a character from Aqua Team Hunger Force. Daniel Shoemaker, a freshman from Wichita, said the freebies were part of the reason he went. "There's a lot of free stuff and it looked like it would be fun," Shoemaker said. April 7: Athens, Ga.

"It wasn't uncommon for people to change their political viewpoints quickly," said Hill, 19 in April 1970 and today executive director of the Southern Institute at Tulane University. "We had grown up on a set of myths about the country with respect to equality and justice and who we were as a power in the world." Bill Tuttle, then a young assistant professor of history, said a walk on campus in the '60s was like traveling back another decade. Men sported short haircuts; women wore skirts instead of jeans and obeyed nightly curfews. "The KU campus seemed to me to be quite like my college campus in 1959," said Tuttle, now professor emeritus of American Studies. "Very quiet, not much political activity, not a lot of long hair." But by 1970, the campus had changed. Some people stayed the same, such as Jim Barnes, who said he was there just to go to school. Others turned into what Barnes called freaks, people who had long hair and beards, wore sandals and used drugs or had an activist agenda. Women could wear jeans and no longer had curfews. Students started underground newspapers, and used advocacy journalism the way The Kansan and the Lawrence Journal World didn't The Oread neighborhood was a gathering place for students who frequented two bars, the Gaslight Tavern and the Rock Chalk Café known most recently as the Crossing. Students, dropouts and others formed what Hill called a "street community," which he joined when he dropped out after a semester. "It was people who were college dropouts,people who had been expelled,people who came to Lawrence to be part of the counterculture and to be engaged in politics," he said. "There were a lot of runaways who found safe haven there. There were a lot of Vietnam veterans." Roger Martin, who came to Lawrence from Columbia, Mo., was excited to see an underground newspaper, places hip people could hang out and lots of drugs. 1970 JAYHAWKER Roger Martin Roger Martin See Roger Martin talk about his experience at KU online.

University Archives/SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY This column, from the underground newspaper Vortex, shows the drug prices and quality for that issue. The newspapers also included articles analyzing issues and politics of the time. "The scene was very vibrant and alive" Martin said. He said there was "a lot of pointlessness to the lifestyle, because people were trying to redefine what it was that they were and who they were and how they lived, and so youd try things." (CONTINUED FROM 1A) The political climate of the country was changing, too. The Vietnam War was escalating, and young See an audio slideshow of underground news papers and hear from their creators. Events around the world caused students in Lawrence to reconsider their views. Beth Lindquist, who enrolled in 1966, originally lived in Americans were dying by the thousands — more than 16,500 were killed in Vietnam in 1968, a number greater than that year's KU enrollment. Protests at the Democratic National Convention devolved into a riot and a high-profile trial of the Chicago 7, a court case that charged seven protesters for crossing state borders to incite a riot at the 1968 convention. @KANSAN.COM GSP Hall and then Kappa Kappa Gamma. She was a student senator and president of her residence hall. "I did all the kind of traditional middle-class suburban girl things," she recalls. But after seeing racism in the mostly white Greek recruitment and injustices in Vietnam, Lindquist made a new commitment to protest for change. She wasn't the only one. "Students were dropping out and living in communes and growing their hair and professing a kind of anti-materialist view of American life," said Lindquist, now a dean of instruction at Metropolitan Community College of Kansas City. Lindquist had been among more than 150 people who disrupted the annual ROTC review in May 1969. To them, the ROTC represented the military establishment and was one step away from Vietnam and the massacre of innocent civilians. Protesters gathered at Memorial Stadium, where the ROTC cadets were set to march, then moved inside and sat down to block the soldiers. They danced, chanted, talked. Despite the lack of Despite the lack on violence, the protesters suffered severe consequences. Some were expelled, thus losing their deferrals and immediately becoming eligible for the draft. Lindquist knew men who picked up and left for Canada to avoid being sent to Vietnam. "There were others who were suspended who didn't return to the University ever, or any university," she said. "There were some who transferred." Soon the draft lottery catalyzed one of the most turbulent springs in KU history. The image shows a heavily damaged interior of a large building. The ceiling is broken and debris is scattered throughout the floor. There are no visible signs of fire or structural damage in this particular section of the building. The walls appear intact, and there are no evidence of recent construction or renovation work. A 7-Up bottle filled with gasoline, a rag and a match was all it took to get a story in a newspaper in the spring. WHAT'S GOIN' ON of 1970. Students were frustrated with the Vietnam War, racism, local politics and the conservative crackdown on the counterculture's free love and cheap drugs. Some marched, some dropped acid and some threw Molotov cocktails at windows of businesses, into the homes of prominent local officials and behind KU buildings. Randy Gould, 20 that semester, said peaceful protests were less likely after he read about police assaulting members of the activist group Black Panthers and racists abusing blacks. 10 "I don't think historically we've ever seen real change in this country or anywhere else, for that matter, that wasn't AIRLINES also accompanied by some type of violence," said Gould, a Kansas City resident who now updates a blog called the Oread Daily, the same name as the underground newspaper he started in mid 1970. "I also don't want to glorify the violence aspect of things. There were mistakes made that were too much." Students and allies in the street community planned a strike for April 8 after the state Board of Regents blocked the promotions of two professors, one who had spoken negatively about the war. In a Kansan article from April 3, 1970, student activist John Naramore was quoted saying students should know about the "Regents' clamp" on the mood of the university, and that students should get "dramatically involved and should support the strike next week." University Archives/SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Abbie Hoffman The strike strategy: Station someone at the doors of all buildings on campus to encourage skipping class for the cause. Listen to a speech by the visiting Abbie Hoffman, one of the Chicago 7. And be wary of violence, a warning disregarded by some. The night before the strike, more bombs and Molotov cocktails exploded. The next day, Hoffman spoke to a packed Allen Fieldhouse. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN As reported in The Kansan, Hoffman said, "People have really got to make up their minds that they are going to destroy the University. If they accept the student's role, they accept the role as a slave. The student is a nigger. Law is not for maintaining justice, it is for maintaining power." but to a mixed reception.

They tried to draft me my sophomore officer. If you're going to go, go as an army officer. So I went into Army ROTC. The thing was, if you were a male and you flunked out of college, you had an all-expense paid trip to Saigon." - David Awbrey "Many of these young men were so dead-set against going to the war that they chose to take really Draconian methods to make sure they would stay out of the war. One student dropped a heavy sofa on his big toe so he had a broken foot, which kept him out of the draft. Another guy who had来 to KU on a basketball scholarship, a tall, very physically well-built fellow, he knew there would be no way he would get out of the draft. So he did two things. First of all, he read all that he could on schizophrenia in the library... He learned how to answer as a crazy person. Secondly, when he was called up to take the The draft lottery --suitable to the draft. ... So I stayed awake for three days, taking speed, thinking if I do this I'll jack my blood pressure up. And it was high. By the time I got there it was 160/90, but what got me out, as soon as the doctor looked at my skin, said, "Oh that's psoriasis, you're out, it gets worse in Vietnam. I was immensely relieved. ... It's the best use of psoriasis that exists, is getting out of the draft." "When it came time to be in the military, I went to the highest level of performance mode and even though I've been a performer for a long, long time, I have to say that was my greatest performance, at least so far. Because that one had more on the line than any of the other ones. It isn't even close, because I've done performances right here in the Pig, and they never said, 'Now if you fuck this up, you're going have to go and hide in the jungle with maniacs shooting at you.'" - Wayne Propst Here are the stories of how some KU students stayed in the United States. On Dec. 1, 1969, the selective service system conducted its draft lottery. Dates were put into plastic containers and then drawn at random, giving each birthday a draft number from one to 366. The draft affected men 18 to 26 years old, the demographic at KU. --that exists, is getting out of the draft." — Roger Martin "Dropping out of school was a risky business. But actually, I had been called up for a physical before I dropped out of graduate school, and that was in November, because I was still eligible to the deferment." --that exists, is getting out of the draft." — Roger Martin --that exists, is getting out of the draft." — Roger Martin Draft deferrals were the way to stay out of Vietnam. Men could file as conscientious objectors. Students could be exempt during school, but once they graduated or stopped attending, they were immediately eligible. Medical issues also often led to exemption. ABOVE. As the situation escalated, the students demanded that the school hire black teachers and a black counselor as well as meet their needs. Racial tensions added to the already explosive Lawrence atmosphere. Two days after the strike, John Spearman of the Black Student Union encouraged all black students to arm themselves, saying they weren't safe and were receiving threats on their lives. Racial conflict sparked at Lawrence High School that spring when its Black Student Union demanded a black homecoming queen and black cheerleaders in addition to the current ones. When the principal didn't meet demands, students locked themselves into the school's main office. Then fighting broke out over the next few days. One day 28 people were injured. Another day police threatened to use tear gas to disperse more than 100 students, some armed with tire irons, trying to enter the school. well as meet their previous demands. Police used tear gas later when black students and residents broke windows at the high school. Stan Scribner Conservatives demanded that police and KU officials respond to protesters with tear gas, arrests and expulsions. Wayne Propt, part of the street community, called some of those conservatives rednocks, and tells of one day when a "red-neck" drove next to and began antagonizing George Kimball, who was walking down the street. Kimball, then 26 and later a candidate for Douglas County Sheriff, challenged the man to get out of his truck, and when he started to do just that, Kimball slammed the man's head in the @KANSAN.COM CONTRIBUTE See Stan Spring, his wife, Marv talk about them on campus. the man's head in the door.

Protesters weren't always sincere and some were trying to discredit the activists' goals. Naramore, who later owned a printing business called Kansas Key Press, said people who were violent were often not trustworthy. University Archives/ SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY "Who is this guy?

Rich Clarkson, then photo director at the Topeka Capital Journal, remembers how the journalism school's photo instructor Bill Seymour took pictures of student protesters. "He was meeting agents at the Kansas Bureau of investigation to give them pictures to identify students," Clarkson said. "He was actually working with the police." Lawrence was burning, figuratively and literally. Fires were discovered almost every night. The Kappa Sigma house caught fire, the cause never determined. A rooming house on Indiana Street went up in flames. Gambles, a furniture store downtown, caught fire and flames burned 50 feet high, causing $200,000 in damage. Less than a week later, a bigger fire would shock the community and make all the others seem insignificant. FIRE AND RAIN It was 10:30 on the night of April 20. Jim Barnes, 21, and friends were grabbing a beer at the Bierstube, now the Bull, on Tennessee Street. They had just finished orchestra practice when a man walked into the bar and said the Kansas Union was on fire. Barnes didn't believe him, but when he peered through a window so dirty it looked like frosted could see flames flickering outside. They ran up the hill, and sure enou CURFEW PASS Issued to John C.

Being caught without a pass could mean jail time. "It was the most beautiful fire you ever saw" Barnes said. Stan Spring recalls watching from the safety of Potter Lake as the fire burnt the fifth and sixth horses and the roof of the Union. Fire trucks arrived 15 minutes after the fire started, the flames already 30 feet high. Spring saw the firefighters unwind their hoses, but they weren't long enough. to reach the top floors and lacked adequate water pressure. So the firefighters fed all the hoses up the inside staircases of the Union. Spring and Barnes were among 2,000 students who saw the Union burn that night. Inside, valuable art was in danger, and students jumped in to help save it, including David Axbrey David Awbrey Jim Stratford, 22 at the time and now vice president of instruction at Pratt Community College. "I remember going to it like hundreds of other students did, getting there pretty early on, evidently, and there were no barriers or anything, and going inside and seeing that the firemen were trying to drag hoses full of water; he recalled. "They were spraying water, but they were trying to drag hoses up the stairs, and I just pitched in to help them along with a lot of other people. I remember helping hand pictures down trying to get them out of the building." - Wayne Propst lived just down the street from the Union and watched it burn from his balcony. - "You couldn't help but see it. It lit up the whole street," said Propst, now a local artist. By 2 a.m., the fire was finally under control, but not before it did an estimated $2 million in damage to a many viewed as the social and political center of the campus. Police suspected arson. No one was ever caught, but theories still abound. Any time "Any time the term Chalmers Chancellor Larry Chalmers there's uncertainty, people's conspiracy theories crop up," said Monroe Dodd, then a Kansas staff member who would later become managing editor at The Kansas City Star. "And you don't have to be conspiracy crazy to think, 'Well, since we don't know, I wonder if it was the KU authorities who set the fire to make the freaks look bad? Or was it the freaks who set the fire? Or was it the Black Student Union? Or is it just some working-class guy in Lawrence who wanted to make the freaks look bad?' You can concoct all kinds of theory about it because there's no final committer of the act." George Kimball, who was active in the street community, hung out at the Union and said he never under stood why anyone would have set it on fire. no final committer of the act." "There's no particular political motive to be achieved by this thing," said Kimball, now a prominent boxing writer who moderated a program this semester featuring boxer George Foreman in the same Kansas Union ballroom gutted by the fire. "It wasn't anything that was going to get you applauded. You weren't going to win any points with anybody for doing it. It was probably someone who was stoned or drunk or screwed up" University Archives/SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Beth Lindquist said the Union had been a place where activists could meet for free and that she was shocked to see the fire after running up from her house on Tennessee Street. "I didn't know people who thought it was a good idea," she said. "Most people who were anti-war and civil rights activists thought it was a bad idea because it put a question mark on the values and the moral choices of the anti war civil rights movements. The inference that student activists had something to do with that was very negative for us." The fire wasn't the end of trouble in Lawrence. Ahead was a nightly citywide curfew, major protests and a decision whether to keep school open in the face of possible violence. RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE The day after the fire, Kansas Gov. Robert Docking ordered a 7 p.m. curfew on the city of Lawrence to quell the violence. Townspeople were supposed to stay off the streets and inside residences; police arrested 45 people, most for curfew violations, on the first night. Snipers shot at businesses downtown, small fires were reported all over town, and people threw trash and broken glass into the streets to clown down buildings chasing curfew violators. Activists strung wire in the Oread neighborhood alleys to slow police walking through on foot, but Lance Hill said the tactic backfired. "Someone did stretch wire between two trees, and then when --- pence came down the street and all the kids ran off, they tripped over their own wire, so it wasn't very effective," he recalls. Many refused to take the curfew, which started later on the second and third days, seriously. Caz Loth, a 23-year-old who lived in the Oread neighborhood, said the street community had curfew parties. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY Students sit outside of Strong Hall after trying to speak with the Chancellor about closing school. "We would sneak through alleyways to get to the party," said Loth, who now works in the racing industry. Less than a week after curse ended, President Richard Nixon announced on April 30 that the United States would send troops into Cambodia, expanding the hated Vietnam War. The protests weren't over. Once one thing kind of died down, then you'd have three or four days, then another thing would happen. Every day was something new," David Awbrey said. "You could get up in the morning and by the end of the day it would be a whole different world."

Four students were killed when the National Guard opened fire on a peaceful crowd of students (AP) FILE PHOTO CONTRIBUTED PHOTO University Archives/SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY protesting Vietnam and the invasion of Cambodia. The deaths ignited protests around the country, including at Kansas. Chancellor Larry Chalmers canceled the annual ROTC ceremony, which the year before had been disrupted by protests. He immediately received critical letters, one telling him his "graven display of cowardice in cancer the annual ROTC review on May 5th, was a disgrace" and another demanding "Unless you expel all the students who are rioting, shooting, destroying property and resorting to violence, you should resign as chancellor of the University of Kansas immediately." Students and the street community reacted to the deaths by marching to the ROTC building and throwing rocks through windows. Protesters later rallied in front of Allen Fieldhouse where students demanded a strike and a decision about closing the school. Half the group went up the hill to Strong Hall and camped in front of the chancellor's office. When his locked door didn't open, they sat on the stairs of Strong. Chancellor Chalmers had to find a way to defuse the tense situation. In a May 8 speech given to most of the University inside Memorial Stadium, he announced what he called a Day of Alternatives. It gave students options. Those who wanted to leave the campus could, either by skipping finals and earning the grade they had up to that date or by taking an incomplete. Or students could stay and take their finals. This decision was unpopular with many parents and alumni, many of whom called for Chalmers' resignation and wished that Clarke Wescoe, the previous and more conservative chancellor, were still in charge.

"I had never seen, in the United States, the open display of firearms," she recalls. "I saw trucks down on Massachusetts street with three rifles lined up in the back... It created an atmosphere of high anxiety, of high-pitched fear, because these are white vigilantes and it was because of the reaction of a group of African Americans to Rick Dowdell's death." Only a few days later, police killed another activist. Police responded to "I choose the alternative, which was to take pass-falls," Dodd said. "It really did wonders for my GPA." Summer 1970 A Kansan article estimated that more than 83 percent of students chose not to finish classes, leaving fewer than 3.000 students on campus. Monroe Dodd opted to skip his finals. And just like that, the tumultuous spring semester of 1970 ended abruptly. Many students departed and what can be described only as a school-wide uprising ended. "Larry Chalmers really saved the University that day," David Awbrey said. "It would have been pretty bad. There would have been another Kent State." Both the black community and the street community went into an uproar, and the front page of the next Vortex, an underground newspaper, proclaimed Garrett wanted for murder. The rest of the city reacted and men started circling downtown in their trucks, said Beth Schultz, who had just joined the KU English Department. Edited by Liz Schubauer and Tara Smith University Archives/SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Students left that summer, but activists and tension remained. Lawrence streets often held the sting of tear gas in the morning and the sound of gunshot at night. Activists were still unhappy with the status quo and were determined to make it known. Police and activists clashed in July when the tension snapped and police shot and killed two young people. Black activists gathered at the Afro House, a place they could feel welcome and escape racism they found in Lawrence and in the police. On the night of July 16, police were called to the house after someone heard gunshots. A car left the house; STRIKE!

Police thought the car looked suspicious, so they chased it until it drove onto a curb. Dowdell got out and ran down an alley. Police Officer William Garrett followed and the two exchanged gunfire.

When the crowd split, 18-year-old white activist and student Nick Rice was shot in the back of the head and dying. Reports vary on what happened that night. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation's report claimed it couldn't determine if police shot Rice, so no officers were ever punished. Activists remembered that night otherwise, some saying they heard police say "Shoot 'em," and then saw them throw tear gas to prevent Rice from getting medical attention.

Blaise Marcoux MUSIC Rock fest signs new lease MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INDIO, Calif. — The Empire Polo Fields are 90 acres of pristine green in a land of craggy brown and represent a field of dreams for music fans as the home of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. But a few years ago, the festival, which brings international travelers together in this small, low-desert city, came close to being buried by bulldozers. At the height of the real estate boom, owner Alexander Haagen III was tempted to chop up the polo grounds and covert them to residential uses at a big windfall. "We would have been crushed, it would have been the end," said Paul Tollett, the promoter who crafted the Coachella success story. The downtown in the economy helped preserve California's most celebrated music festival. Tollett, along with Coachella promoter Goldenvoice, just inked a pact with Haagen that gives the festival its first long-term lease on the property, which this past weekend brought a record 75,000 fans each over three days to see 128 acts, led by the crystalline space rock of Muse and the Cristal flow of rap star Jay-Z. With the new lease now securing Coachella's home for at least an additional decade, changes will be made to upgrade the electrical service and to unsnarl the traffic that overwhelms this small city's roadways. Haagen, who rarely grants interviews, said Sunday that he had committed $1 million in landscaping improvements annually going forward. Coachella is already considered among the most gracefully appointed major rock festivals in the U.S. "Now, for the first time, we can take steps to make long term improvements," said Tollett, who would not disclose terms of the contract. "Every year, on Sunday night I walk out and I think 'Well, next year is the last one.' We've never had a deal that went more than a couple of years. We've always been on ene shells." This year, the festival added This year, you more than 100 acres of parking and Haagen gave concertgoers access to the rose gardens After approval of the Indio City Council, the festival extended its hours on Friday and Saturday nights (to 1 a.m.) from midnight previous years. "We've never had a deal that went more than a couple of years. We've always been on eggshells." figuratively. Also, the residents of Indo weren't sure they wanted a neighbor who would bring along huge amplifier stacks and potentially troubling baggage. The most visually striking addition to this year's Coachella was a 150-foot-tall Ferris wheel that towered over the festival grounds and, with its lights, flashed and flared into the night. Haagen said those sorts of one-offs would be part of the venue's business plan moving forward. There was no camping when Coachella began on a brutally hot weekend in 1999 as Rage Against the Machine, Tool and Beck headlined a show that, by the way, left Tollett and his company, Goldenvoice, in the red. It didn't help that tickets for the festival with the funny name went on sale one week after the Woodstock 99 Festival back east went up in flames, literally and Tollett promised his show would be different; his plan was to import the European-style model of festivals, such as Glastonbury, to the desert where lush lawns, giant stages and pristine white dance tents could lure fans wanting to escape the arenas and PAULTOLLETT Coachella promoter asphalt lots of radio-station shows. Tollett and AEG Live (which bought Goldenvoice in 2001 by absorbing its debt, which exceeded $1 million, according to This year, a mutual trust seems to have replaced thorny community doubts about the giant rock festival that brings purple-haired fans and tattooed rock kids to a community more at ease with golfers and truck drivers. executives involved in the deal) launched a second music event, the Stagecoach Festival, a country music franchise that uses the still-standing set-up the following weekend and became profitable even faster than its rock cousin. Haagen said Tollett had won over the city leadership and residents by creating "a classy event, a festival with panache that has gotten Indian positive press coverage about all over the world" and one that also sells out every local hotel. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

EDITORIAL Potter Lake dredging needed, but could have been avoided When Student Senate approved spending $125,000 to dredge $125,000 to dredge Potter Lake a few eyebrows were raised. Although there is good reason to feel a little bit of sticker shock, the lesson to be learned is that this one-time cost could have been avoided had the lake been maintained throughout the years According to a KU news release Potter Lake has only been dredged once — in 1957 — since it was completed in 1911. For a university that values tradition, cleaning one of its important landmarks only once in almost a century is unjustifiable. The cleaning of this lake should have taken place more consistently. We are now, quite literally, paying the price for our decades of neglect. The students who were proactive in wanting to preserve the lake and its history deserve a lot of credit. Once the dredging is completed, the fight for its continued preservation rests on University administrators and students on campus. The Potter Lake Project, a student-led group, invested a great deal of effort to ensure that funding for the project passed by Student Senate. Melissa Allen, the vice president of the Potter Lake Project, credited "We are all very excited," Allen said. "It has been a lot of work from a lot of people in the community." Matt Nahrestt, president of the Potter Lake Project, said next year marked the lake's centennial and he hoped the Lawrence community would "welcome back Potter." Allen said the funding from Student Senate is only for dredging the lake. However, other measures have been developed to help maintain the quality of the lake when the dredging is complete. Additional funding will be provided by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), which will work to reduce soil erosion and runoff that flow into the lake, according to a KU news release. The ARRA will contribute $200,000 which will be used to upgrade inlets on Jayhawk Boulevard and install a sedimentation basin to collect runoff. Although the dredging should take precedence, these other projects are significant in keeping up the quality of the lake. For example, past runoff has led to what has been described as "overnutrition of the water" and has resulted in a large growth of oxygen-sucking plants that kill fish and other organisms that inhabit the lake. In the same news release, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said these projects "should restore the ecological balance of nutrients and oxygen in the water." These preventative measures are a positive step in working to maintain the quality of the water in the lake. The project is set to begin in June and should be completed by the start of the fall semester, Allen said. When students return to campus in the fall they will be greeted by a cleaner lake. However, for this to last, we need to take responsibility by continuing to preserve and maintain the cleanliness of the historical landmark Although the expensive procedure of dredging the lake is needed, the costs could have been avoided if Potter Lake had been consistently cleaned during its 99-year history. — Kate Larrabee for The Kansan Editorial Board WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? Commentary on Facebook relationship statuses Stuff KU Students Like MARIA RUBIO BY JOEL PETTERSON ipetterson@kansan.com When you're about to declare the new love of your life with a Facebook relationship status update, remember one thing; If and when this relationship goes horribly wrong, everyone will know. And they will react. The Hemline When that painful and messy breakup finally happens, there will be some who attempt to comfort you with sad face posts on your wall, but there will also be the select few who have patiently waited for that day and will then declare their secret love for you by tactfully "liking" your new single status. Shameless and tasteless? Maybe. But anyone who "likes" a breakup status should also be immediately added to the list of rebound relationship candidates, therefore easing the pain of a love gone sour. BY ALEX ESPOSITO aesposito@kansan.com Why do people comment when a person's relationship status goes from "in a relationship" to "single?" It draws attention to something that's probably painful for at least someone involved. If your friend's relationship status changes don't "like" it. Also, steer clear of obnoxious comments such as, "What happened?" or "I'm so sorry, you deserve the best guy in the world!" Not only is this extremely awkward for all parties involved, but it's annoying to see in a newsfeed. If your Facebook friend got dumped, shoot them a message or do that antiquated thing our parents used to do by actually picking up the phone (OK, cell phones count). Be a real friend and ask if they need to talk or hang out, but don't make their breakup even more public than it needs to be. SEXUAL HEALTH Mixed signals or crossing a line? That girl smiled at you so she must be interested, right? You decide to be brave and take the next step by asking her out to watch a movie at your place or even by offering her a little make-out session after class. You think she made it clear that she would want that. April is Sexual Harassment Awareness Month. Although this is sending a necessary message, simply designating these 30 days for awareness is yet another example of a limited time period being dedicated to something that should receive attention all year. However, I urge caution: this could be considered sexual harassment. Although not all actions as those described above need to constitute a violation against Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Kansas Act against Discrimination, they could, if the target of your come-on feels violated. In many cases, harassment is not based on bad intentions. We think that we would never deliberately harass someone. Yet, things that seem harmless and innocent to us may make others uncomfortable. In 2008, 13,867 charges of sexual harassment were filed in the U.S., according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In filing these reports, women lead the way. In fact, only 15.9 percent of the reports were charged by men. Let's Talk about Sex To protect those who feel victimized, the University has a policy where the victim doesn't have to tell the offender that they are reporting harassment. The University takes other steps to protect students from experiencing sexual harassment. For example, you probably got a brochure about sexual harassment policy with enrollment. In fact, it's probably still where you tossed it when you came home from orientation. BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI cbledowski@kansan.com It's time to un-dust the brochure. Sex is one of the most intimate things between people. After all, there is a reason many teenagers want to wait until they feel old enough to appreciate sex, or why there are so many indecency laws and guidelines for media and public places. Sex brings many positive things. But sex needs to be wanted by both (or more) who are involved. Sexual assault can ruin a person's ability to be in a relationship, which is a basic need of human beings. When a person you trust, such as a friend or a teacher, violates your privacy and makes you feel uncomfortable or afraid, you may not be as willing to trust the next person because you think they may do the same. Although no one expects to be the victim of sexual harassment or assault, obviously it does happen. The best thing to do is protect yourself. The easiest way to get information this month is to visit one of the events of "Sexy week," a collection of events all about sex and sexual assault, organized by Delta Force and the Commission on the Status of Women. The group will present between April 19 and 23 on the lawn in front of Stauffer Flint Hall You can find a link to "Sexy Week" and its event schedule on Facebook on the online version of this column on Kansan.com. If you want more information about sexual harassment at the University, visit www.hreo.ku.edu, website of the Department of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity. If you want to report sexual assault, you can call them at (785) 864-3686. Bledowski is a graduate student from Cracow, Poland, in journalism. GUEST COLUMN Research touches only tip of iceberg Editor's note: In her story on 1A, Brenna Hawley wrote about a particularly tense period at the University of Kansas. She wants to tell readers what she learned from the semester-long project. In November I started a project about the history of campus buildings for a class. As I was sifting through photos in Spencer Research Library, I came to the box of Kansas Union photos. Halfway through the box was a file folder filled with images of the historic Kansas Union fire in 1970. I'd always known about the fire and hoped to write a story about it. I was lucky enough that the 40th anniversary of the event came in the same semester I would be enrolled in an in-depth reporting class. I started researching what I thought would be simply a project about a magnificent fire, the damage it did and what people remembered about it. When I started making calls, though, I realized that what happened in April 1970 wasn't just limited to that month. It was so much bigger. The late '60s and early '70s were full of racial tension, the looming draft lottery, murder, drugs and a multitude of other issues. The more I researched and read through countless articles, I realized that something happened almost every day — a major fight, a firebombing, a fire. I want to emphasize that my story, while filled with as much information as I could fit, still touches only the tip of the iceberg. I could only fit a small amount of what happened in a more-than 3,000-word story. And I suspect that even if I wrote a book about the time period, I would still see only slightly more of the iceberg. But I'm trying to stay loyal as possible to what happened in the space and scope I had. project I've worked on, in both journalism and the rest of college. The people I talked to and the stories I heard were fascinating. It's also been the hardest project I've worked on. Obviously I wasn't alive in 1970, and everyone I talked to had a slightly (or vastly) different perspective of what happened then. Memories of the same event varied from person to person, and it was interesting to see what events stuck out for them. Fusing all of these views into one story was difficult, and I'm sure in the process, I left some experiences out. What I wonder most after writing this story is what I would have done. Would I have been an activist? Would I have quit school and left my finals unfinished? Would I have stuck around that summer? I have no idea. But it made me think. It's inspired me to continue working on this project past this story and expand what I've already learned. I love history, and there is so much contained in this Lawrence movement. I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did researching. — Brenna Hawley, former editor-in-chief of the The Kansan forever 1970 Javhawker This photo appeared in the 1970 edition of the Jayhawker and gives an idea of what campus was like in the spring of 1970. Throughout the late '60s, students on campus became more disenfranchised with the Vietnam War and started questioning the lifestyles their parents taught them. A street community formed in the Oread neighborhood near the Kansas Union, full of students, dropouts, Vietnam veterans and other activists. The community started protesting events on campus and around town that they felt were unfair. SEE THE WHOLE STORY ON PAGE 1A.

Gov. Mark Parkinson signed a bill banning indoor smoking across the state. But the bill also regulates outdoor smoking: Kansans will no longer be able to smoke within 10 feet of any doors, open windows or air intakes. The new law, which goes into effect July 1, will make many patios in Lawrence off-limits for smokers. Anyone caught smoking in restricted areas could be fined $100 for the first offense. Additional violations could cost as much as $500. Jeremy Sidener, operator of the Eighth Street Tap Room, 801 New Hampshire St., for 16 years, said the new bill would be a nuisance for his bar and customers. "This will certainly affect the downtown area and Lawrence, but I don't know how it will affect business," he said. Sidener said the original Lawrence indoor smoking ban, passed in July 2004, influenced his decision to add an outdoor area for smokers. The new ban, however, will make that patio off-limits to the very customers he built it for. Sidener also said he was frustrated that customers Development, said the process to obtain a patio permit was fairly easy. However, the process has had some businesses waiting years for approval. The Jackpot, 1943 Massachusetts St., built its outdoor patio last year "I'm not sure how they're going to enforce it." CALEB SPENCER Student and smoker would have to finish or leave their drinks in the bar before walking outside to smoke. after being denied approval for years, said Emily Parker, a manager at the bar for the past six years. Constructing an outdoor patio requires approval by the city of Lawrence and annual renewal fees on top of the cost to actually build the structure. Scott McCullough, director of Lawrence Planning and here," Parker said. "Everything's just very strict because you have to follow the plan that you submit to them originally." However, not all business owners are fretting over the ban. Codi Bates, co-manager of the newly opened restaurant, Esquina, 801 Massachusetts, said she had Collin Johnson/KANSAN GREATEST ECONOMY American Refriger Year. Private Linc Dan Nagengast, Director of the Kansas Rural Center, speaks about local food and transportation in the Kansas Union's Alderson auditorium Monday night. The event, entitled "Earth to Plate," was held in conjunction with several other activities to celebrate Earth Day and promote environmental awareness on KU campus. planned all along to have outdoor seating. The restaurant's doors are within 10 feet of the seating area, but Bates said she didn't think the ban would affect her business. Sustainable snacking "I think people will still appreciate the patio," Bates said. "But if we see a need to make a new area for smokers in the future, we'll definitely consider it." Regardless of the opinions of bar owners and patrons, the costly addition to The Jackpot and other restaurants with patios for smoking will soon be obsolete. Come July, patrons will have to find a place on the sidewalk far enough away from doors and windows if they want to smoke. Caleb Spencer, at sophomore from St. Louis, smokes cigarettes and said he was disappointed with the new bill and didn't know how it would be received in Lawrence. "I'm not sure how they're going to enforce it," Spencer said. "I can only see a police officer coming by with a measuring stick and some absurd protocol to make sure it's enforced."

Kilduff is a student with the EU Atlantis program studying chemistry. She has competed in two World Collegiate Hnadball Championships, and last year she made it to the semifinals of the "B" Bracket. "Well, you can't slack off in either," Kilduff said. "You can't just get by. You have to work hard in training or in studying for chemistry. In handball, you can't go in without having done a sufficient amount of training." Marina Kilduff runs her hands through her long brown hair and plays with her purple scar as she tries to relate her two biggest passions: handball and chemistry. HANDBALL So Kilduff, a junior exchange student from Roscommon, Ireland, talks about the goggles first. The ones she wears for handball don't have frames. They're thick and tight-fitting, preventing the tangerine-sized blue ball from striking her in the eye. While Kilduff is here, she's still pursuing the sport she grew up with in Ireland. She went to the World Collegiate Handball Championships at Arizona State University in February, representing both her home school, Dublin City University, and Kansas. After winning a lower bracket at last year's championships in Minnesota, Kilduff made it to the semifinals of the 'B' bracket before falling. She says the ones she wears for her West Campus chemistry research are dorky. They cover the whole upper half of her face. Finally, Kilduff comes up with a relationship between the activities. Played with two to four players, handball is very similar to raquetball and squash. However, instead of using a raquet, players use their hands. It originated in Ireland and Scotland and was later brought across seas by Irish immigrants. "Oh, she loves to talk about handball," Duffy said. "It's obviously one of her biggest hobbies. I wouldn't say she's obsessed, but I know a lot about it just because she Emer Duffy, a junior from Ireland who came to Kansas with Kilduff, said she still goes to coffee with Kilduff three times a week and handball often dominates the conversation. SEE HANDBALL ON PAGE 4B BASEBALL Younger players to test skills Freshman baseball players will hop off the bench against Benedictine BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter.com/ben_dub For shortstop Kevin Kuntz, sitting on the bench for most of this season has been a major adjustment, as he was a standout during his time at Union High School in Tulsa, Okla. But Kuntz, who was drafted out of high school by the Royals, isn't discouraged - he knows it's all part of "I think it's just part of the process for me," Kuntz said. "I've just got to be patient." C his transition to Division I baseball. When Kansas (21-13-1, 5-6-1) Kuntz COMMENTARY hosts NAIA opponent Benedictine College tonight at 6 p.m., Kuntz and many other young players will get the opportunity to start. The contest is a makeup developmental game for the April 2 contest against Missouri Valley College that was rained out. Division 1 programs are allowed to play four 'developmental' games GAMEDAY each season that don't affect their RPI. In these games, Division I teams bring in lesser opponents in order to give younger players extended playing time and valuable at bats. WHO: vs. Benedictine WHEN: Today at 6 p.m. Kansas has crushed the opposition in each of their three developmental games: winning 10-0 (March 9) against St. Mary College , 16-0 (March 10) against Tabor and 16-0 (March 24) against Baker. Aside from Kuntz, sophomore first baseman Zac Elgie and freshman catcher Alex DeLeon are other young players who are likely to be in the starting lineup against Benedictine College. "It would be a success for me just to get the privilege to go in there and play, hopefully for the whole game," he said. Kuntz, who has hit .294 in 11 games this season, said he views these games against smaller schools as part of becoming an everyday player. Despite not playing on a regular basis, Kuntz said staying prepared hasn't too been hard because of how much he's learned during his time on the sidelines. And regardless of the level of competition he and his teammates will be facing tonight. Kuntz simply cherishes the opportunity to be on the field. Because hitting is so dependent on constantly seeing live pitching , such struggles at the plate can be attributed to infrequent at bats against live pitching. While Kuntz and freshman third baseman Jordan Dreiling - who is hitting .300 in 16 games - have had success in limited time at the plate, Elgie and DeLeon have mostly struggled. Elgie has made strides since he began the season with a 3-for-31 slump, but DeLeon is still only hitting at a .100 clip for the year. "The hardest part is staying on top of your hitting," Kuntz said. "You've got to mentally prepare yourself and stay ready over the course of a game." Jerry Wang/KANSAN "It's still good, because you're at least getting experience," he said.

As we all know, Bill Self just received a commitment from Josh Selby, the Rivals.com fourth overall ranked player in the 2010 class. However, before we go and start christening him as the next Sherron Collins or at least as the guy who will fill his shoes, let's take a step back and calm down. Putting Selby on that kind of pedestal is just setting him up for disappointment. Although Kansas as a team didn't reach every one of its goals, Henry was talented enough to play past criticism and still put together a very productive season. He averaged 13.4 points per game last year which was the second highest total on the team. Now it's very likely that Selby will start next year in the same position as Collins, but Selby is no Collins. He is a freshman and lacks experience. Whether he can do that or not is yet to be seen, but anointing Selby as the second coming is not the right move. --- If Selby truly wants to fill Collins' role, he will have to figure out a way to convince a large number of upperclassmen that he is the one they should defer to when the game is on the line. A lot of people were thrilled to get Xavier Henry and rightfully so. He had one of the best freshman years in Kansas history. At the same time however, he faced a lot of criticism at some points during a midseason slump. Whether you thought the criticism he received was fair or not, is irrelevant at this point — it was there. But why was it there? Before the season even started Henry was established as the missing link. He was the player that was going to put a team who returned every key player a notch above where they were the year before and into the national title conversation. Not everyone is able to do that. Not every top-ten recruit pans out into a NBA draft pick a year after their freshman season. Henry was able to handle the pressure. On the other hand, being anointed as such an important player at such a young age creates really unnecessarily high expectations. So why do the same to Selby when not everyone can handle that much pressure? Selby's athleticism would make anyone excited, but there's no reason to seriously expect a current high school senior to come to Kansas next year and fill the hole left by one of the best guards to ever play for the lavwhaws There is a way a lot of people measure the success of athletes and that is how they preformed relative to their expectations. Let's take a different approach with Selby. Let's enjoy watching a good player but at the same time keep in mind that Selby is only a freshman. That way, if he does take over this team next year, it's more than what we asked for. — Edited by Kristen Liszewski 2B SPORTS TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages.

Clark Goble National Champ of baristas MORNING BREW For the second year in a row, Mike Phillips of Intelligentsia Coffee in Chicago has been crowned the best barista in America. Oh what, you didn't know that there was such a thing as a barista competition? You thought that any old fast food hack could step behind a coffee bar and steam milk to a velvety sheen? Maybe you even thought that "coffee just tastes like coffee." For those of you mired in such ignorance, I offer a brief education. The United States Barista Championship is put on every year by the Specialty Coffee Association of America. It pits competitors from each of the SCAAs 10 geographical regions against one another (all of whom have earned this right by strong showings in smaller regional contests) to decide who will represent the United States at the World Championships. In short, they are allotted 15 minutes to prepare and serve drinks to seven judges. Think Iron Chef, only with coffee instead of food, and a distinct lack of dubbed dialogue. So what, exactly, does a barista have to do in such a competition? The competitors must serve each judge an espresso, a cappuccino and a signature drink. Sounds simple enough. So what are BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com these judges looking for? First of all, they grade the competitors on the cleanliness and neatness of their work station, both before and after the performance. But the drinks really are the focus. The espresso is graded on both its taste and body. That is, how it balances different flavors and how it feels in the mouth. A good espresso should begin with a caramel-esque sweet top layer called crema, then follow with a bite that is just on the pleasant side of bitter. This feeling should linger. Next up is the capuccino, which is nothing like the drinks you get from gas station machines claiming to offer them. It is one shot of espresso served in six ounces of milk.

THE MORNING BREW The final challenge facing the would be barista champion is the signature drink, which is a challenge of their own design. The only requirements are that it be a drink, and that no alcohol be used. At this stage, competitors let their culinary imagination run wild, doing things like serving the crema of an espresso on seltzer water. Of course, whatever they come up with, the judges will end up drinking it — so it better taste good too. At the end of all this, the scores are added up, and a champion is named.

The first round will be conducted on Thursday evening. Then everybody will theoretically go to bed, wake up, have breakfast, drive the kids to school, spend some quality time with Mrs. Coach/GM, then go back to "It just gives us more time to overanalyze what we have already overanalzyed, basically." JERRY REESE New York Giants general manager Nobody does overanalysis better than the NFL. It spends millions of dollars and countless man hours scouting prospects, then allows itself to be swayed by how a kid looks without a shirt on or how many times he bench-presses 225 pounds at his Pro Day workout. The NFL is the only league where coaches feel the need to work 18-hour days and sleep on their office couch preparing for a game, then lose track of how many timeouts they've got left or what down it is. This week, Reese and the rest of the league's GMs and coaches will have another golden opportunity to overanalyze when, for the office and start planning for the second and third rounds, which will be held Friday evening. Then, another overnight break before completing the final four rounds on Saturday The obvious motivation for spreading the draft over three days and conducting the first three rounds in prime time is to get even more eyeballs watching what already has become the second biggest event on the Goodellian calendar to the Super Bowl. Opinions around the league on the new format are mixed. Some are intrigued by the overnight break after the first round and think it will give teams an opportunity to recalibrate their draft boards and plot a better second-round strategy. Others, like Reese, think it will just give teams more time to screw up. "Instead of rolling into the second round like we usually do, we'll have a lot of time on our hands to sit there and look and say. I can't believe that so-and-so is still on the board right now," Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said. "There's probably going to be a couple of those players for each team. "I think we're all going to be sitting there looking at that late that first night, saying, 'Is this something that we want to consider doing because we can't believe that guy is still on the board?' I think time is always something that makes people think a little bit more about what's left. There are quite a few teams, including us, that have multiple second-round selections. So it will be interesting to see what happens and how flexible other people want to be as far as moving down or moving up." The Broncos are one of five teams with multiple picks in the second round (Nos. 43, 45). The other four are the Patriots, who have three (Nos. 44, 47, 53); the It is inevitable that there will be at least a few of those "I can't believe he's Certainly, you would think the Rams and the Lions, who own the first two picks in the second round, will be getting a lot of phone calls on Friday. But will the overnight break really prompt any more second-round trades than last year when there were seven different deals made in the second round on draft day? "Normally, when guys have a lot of time at the end of the first day of the draft, they'll go back and have a meeting, take a look at what happened, and see what they can do to climb up in the next round and get back in it," said former Raiders and Bucs coach and current ESPN "Monday Night Football" analyst Jon Gruden.

There are usually two camps debating — and sometimes arguing about the best way to build a team during draft meetings. "Coaches think about immediacy. General managers and scouting departments are looking long term," Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. "Coaches don't look long term because long term can get you fired." The coaches, who are responsible for developing talent and winning on Sundays, usually want to address position needs because their job security is at stake. By that line of thinking, the Miami Dolphins should make selecting a nose tackle, pass-rushing linebacker and free safety their highest priorities. Executives and their scouts, who are responsible for building the team's talent base, are usually thinking long term, fortifying the foundation by drafting the best Most NFL teams believe the best way is an approach that encompasses both strategies. But a marriage of those two philosophies — need-based and best player available — is a difficult balancing act player available and thinking two to three years ahead. "It's best to evaluate players on their merit." Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "But if you already have a quarterback and you need a running back, does it make any sense to stack the quarterback above the running back if they have similar grades." CI I C O ed ticia sayin inve min the influ H H toge wan KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 2010 / SPORTS 3B FOOTBALL NOTES BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com BATTLING FOR CORNERBACK POSITION According to freshman cornerback Tyler Patton, no position on Kansas' roster has an official depth chart heading into the spring's final three practices. But Patton said the cornerback position is one of the few units where a depth chart would be hard to make — at least right now. Listening to Patton talk after Monday's practice, it's easy to understand why he thinks that way. "Eight corners for two spots," Patton said, smiling. "It's real crazy." One of the units consistently receiving praise from coach Turner Gill, the secondary as a whole is entrenched in a competitive battle for starting spots. After all, Kansas is returning a handful of players with game experience after losing safeties Darrrell Stuckey and Justin Thornton to graduation. Yet perhaps no position on the field is experiencing as much competition as the cornerback spot. Right now, Patton said that eight players — himself, Ishia Barfield, Ryan Murphy, Greg Brown, Chris Harris, Corrigan Powell, Anthony Davis and Calvin Rubles — are all competing for available playing time. "That's why we're one of the only groups that doesn't have a depth chart yet," Patton said. "We all can play. We all go hard. That's something big." Gill has reiterated a similar theme during the spring, applauding the secondary's depth. "That's why they stood out," Gill said. One of the lesser-known names in the cornerback battle, Patmon is attempting to work his way into the rotation after spending last season on the scout team while redshirting. Most of Kansas' other corner-backs at least played a handful of snaps last year. "It's tough because I'm the only freshman battling against seven veteran guys." Patton said. "It's new but it's still football." So far, the members of Kansas' secondary have talked about playing more man-to-man coverage instead of the zone schemes used heavily last season. Patton described the change as "a lot more fun." Last week, cornerbacks coach Vic Shealy said that he wanted the Jayhawks to become comfortable with the more aggressive approach. Kansas' corners will get their first chance to make a public impression this year during the annual spring game on Saturday. It's something Patton said he's eagerly awaiting. "You've got to hope the plays come to you," Patmon said. "And when they do, you have to make them." REPLACING MEIER AND BRISCOE Freshman wide receiver Bradley McDougald received his fair share of acclaim last season after arriving to Kansas as a highly regarded recruit. But playing behind record-setting receivers Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe, McDougald and the rest of Kansas' receiving corps generally remained in the Not anymore, since McDougald and his fellow receivers will need to replace the production of Briscoe and Meier. backs of people's minds. "I wouldn't really call it pressure, but guys are going to need to step up," McDougald said. "That's what we come out and practice for. Our time to shine." McDougald is a likely candidate to do so in a deep pool of wide receivers. Recruited as a safety by many schools out of high school, McDougald picked Kansas over Ohio State in large part because of the opportunity to play on offense. He caught 33 passes for 318 yards last season, while also seeing limited time at safety during the second half of the season. "Now I've got a year under my belt, I'm definitely coming out with a little more attitude," McDougald said. The Jayhawks will need to make up for the 186 catches, 2,322 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns Meier and Briscoe combined for a year ago. McDougald said last season allowed him to develop an understanding of the college game defensive schemes, the physicality, the speed that should help him this season. And McDougald is well aware of the production Kansas' current group of receivers must replace. "That's going to definitely require us to get better," McDougald said. ETC. ■ Before Monday's practice, Gill said that his goals call for Kansas' offense to average one turnover a game, while he hopes the defense forces three turnovers per game. "If you're getting 30-plus turn-overs," Gill said, "then you're playing outstanding." ■ When asked which player on the current roster would win a 100-meter race, Gill jokingly declared himself the early favorite. Then he indicated that, off the top of his head, Daymond Patterson, D.J. Beshears and Isiah Barfield possess the most speed. Edited by Michael Holtz NFL Questions surrounding Tebow before draft Experts have mixed outlooks on the former Florida quarterback's professional hopes MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE He has yet to make a play in a pro football game, but already Tim Tebow has accomplished more than many NFL players. He won the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore, led the Gators to two national championships and appeared in a Super Bowl commercial with his mom. He's the cover athlete for EA Sports' NCAA Football 11 videogame _ the 21st century version of making the Wheaties box. Thousands of fans lined up for hours in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., last month to pay up to $185 for his autograph with proceeds going to his charitable foundation. Tebow's college football accolades aside, opinions are mixed on whether he will succeed at the next level. Sports marketing experts struggle to recall any previous college athlete with such star power, yet low draft expectations. Going into Thursday's NFL draft, the former University of Florida quarterback has attracted plenty of attention. But the question remains: Can Tebow, regarded by many as the greatest college football player in history, continue to cash in on his popularity as a celebrity endorser and pitchman? "He's certainly unprecedented in that he's not one of the top five picks," said Darin David, account director at Dallas-based Millsport, which pairs celebrities with companies. New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush was so hyped he racked up deals with adidas, Subway and Hummer before the draft, but the Heisman Trophy winner from USC also went No. 2 in the 2006 draft. muted compared to the controversy that arose before it even aired. More than 500 people attended a YMCA prayer breakfast last month where his parents, Bob and Pam, were keynote speakers. "He's certainly unprecedented in that he's not one of the top five picks." DARIN DAVID Account Director, Millsport David said it's Tebow's "aura" _ a combination of leadership on the field and winning personality and loving family off the field _ that makes him attractive to marketers. "It plays well," David said. "You have a good feeling he's a guy who's going to stay out of trouble and be looking to make a positive impact on people and the world." And so far, even his strong religious views haven't held him back. Bible verses in his eyeblack have garnered interest and the Super Bowl ad, an anti-abortion message from Focus on the Family, was But those already tired of Tebowmania better get used to him. Depending on which team drafts him, if he remains a quarterback or switches positions, and if he gets playing time, Tebow will likely occupy the media through the summer and into the NFL season, marketing experts say. Tebow is not a Gatorade athlete, but participated in the company's performance lab at the Super Bowl media center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in February. This month, Nike announced it signed Tebow to a deal, reportedly worth less than $300,000, which could rise if Tebow performs. But that's pocket change compared to the $90 million deal Nike gave LeBron James, the highly touted high school basketball player, before he was picked No.1 in the 2003 NBA draft. "I think Nike stepped in because they wanted to make sure nobody else grabbed him," Bob Dorfman, of Baker Street Partners and author of the Sports Marketers' Scouting Report, said of Tebow. "The downside is kind of expected, the upside could be tremendous." Tebow scores high in awareness and likability in surveys conducted by Marketing Evaluations Inc., the Q Scores Company, Henry Schafer, the firm's executive vice president, said Tebow was recognized by one of every two sports fans and got a positive Q score of 21 about a year ago _ meaning 21 percent of those amiliar with him deemed him a favorite _ when the average sports personality gets a 14. His negative score was 22, with the average a 24, but Schafer said both positive and negative scores so close show he's polarizing. A more recent survey show a slightly higher negative score, Schafer said. "I think the main thing is you may not have to agree with every thing he stands for, (but) you can respect the fact he stands up for it" said Steve Dobson, a co-founder of Palm Beach Autographs, which signed Tebow to an exclusive memorabilia contract in February and hosted thousands of fans at Tebow appearances at its stores in Jacksonville and Palm Beach Gardens. Tebow's star power convinced EA Sports to place him on the cover of all three of its NCAA Football 11 platforms, rather than reserving each for a different player and to announce the selection earlier than the draft. Tebow's draft and NFL "I think Nike stepped in because they wanted to make sure nobody else grabbed him." BOB DORFMAN Baker Sreet Partners success isn't the company's concern right now. "It's really looking back at a storied career," said Tom Goedde, vice president of marketing for EA Tiburon in Orlando. "He may be considered for the Madden cover in the future” Depending on what happens in the NFL. CRICKET Indian official steps down amid scandal ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW DELHI — Shashi Tharoor India's junior foreign minister and a one-time candidate for the post of U.N. secretary-general, has resigned amid allegations of corruption in the auction to add a new team to the lucrative Indian Premier League cricket tournament. Premier league chief Lalit Modi later questioned why a 25 percent share in the franchise, which is now part of the Twenty20 cricket league, was given to a group that included a friend of Tharoor's. It was alleged the friend's shares were really intended as a hidden gift to Tharoor. Last month, a group of investors Tharou helped put together made a successful bid of more than $330 million to bring a team to Kochi, a port city in southern Kerala state, part of which he represents in Parliament. Opposition politicians demanded Tharoor resign, but the politician initially defended himself, saying there was no reason for the investors to bribe him since his ministry has nothing to do with the league, and he had no way of influencing the auction. Tharoor met with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and several senior leaders of the ruling Congress party on Sunday before sending in his resignation later that night. He said he only helped put together the winning bid because he wanted to bring a team to Kerala. Tharoor was U.N. undersecretary-general for communications and public information under former Secretary-General Kofi Annan. His name was among those considered for the top U.N. post in 2006, when Ban Ki-moon was voted in. In 2009, Tharoor won a seat in India's Parliament. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said income tax authorities were investigating the sources and channels of funding of the team owners. A statement from the prime minister's office said Tharoor's resignation was forwarded to President Pratibha Patil who accepted it. "No guilty (party) or wrongdoer will be spared." Mukherjee told agitated lawmakers, some of whom demanded a ban on the Twenty20 cricket league. Earlier Sunday Tharoor's friend, businesswoman Sunanda Pushkar, announced she would resign from her position on the team and give up her stake in the Kochi franchise. NFL Clausen faces criticism before draft The Notre Dame quarterback's perceived arrogance worries teams MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE On the day he announced he was going to play quarterback at Notre Dame, Jimmy Clausen marked the occasion by arriving at the College Football Hall of Fame in a Hummer limo. Then he crowed about winning multiple national championships. A stunt like that never goes over well in the court of public opinion, and Clausen still is paying the price. As he prepared for this week's NFL draft, Clausen faced far more criticism about his attitude and perceived arrogance than he did his ability to lead an NFL team. By most accounts, Clausen is the second-ranked quarterback behind Oklahoma's Sam Bradford and most likely a first-round pick. But the perception that he is too cocky has dogged Clausen and raised doubt within league circles about whether he can become a franchise-type quarterback. "You know, to be honest, some of the people that say those things just don't know me as a person," Clausen said at the NFL Scouting Combine in February. "That's why I was so excited to come here, talk to all the coaches and the GMs and owners so they get a feel for me as a person. Being at Notre Dame, the quarterback and the head coach get all the credit when things go right and get a lot of blame when things go wrong. It's a tough situation being in a fishbowl at Notre Dame." Clausen showed steady improvement at Notre Dame. He completed 68 percent of his passes for 3,722 yards and 28 touchdowns with only four interceptions last season. Few knock Clausen's physical skills. He has a strong arm, good accuracy and he played in a pro style system under Charlie Weis. He also showed some toughness by arm strength may not be John Elway-like, but it's very good. It's good enough." Even so, Kiper admitted that "nobody has a real feel" for where Clausen might be drafted after Washington (which owns the No. 4 overall pick) traded for Donovan McNabb. Some have speculated that if Buffalo doesn't select Clausen at No. 9 overall "People that don't like him can't give me a reason why they don't." MEL KIPER JR. ESPN draft analysis playing the majority of last season with two torn ligaments in his right big toe, which required surgery in January. But his immaturity as a younger quarterback has been hard to escape. "People that don't like him can't give me a reason why they don't," ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said. "Maturity issues maybe were there when he came out of high school, but they're not there and haven't been there as of late. His he could fall to the end of the first round. It still seems unlikely that the second ranked quarterback would drop that far. Whatever happens, Clausen said he's prepared to lead a franchise. More than one mock draft even projected the Vikings to take him at No. 30. "There's obviously been history shown that a lot of quarterbacks that come into their rookie season in the NFL have struggled. I kind of went through that at Notre Dame." "That's one of the reasons why I went to Notre Dame, to best replicate what it was going to be like playing big-time football in the NFL as a rookie," he said. the Granada The Granada TICKETS AVAILABLE AT GRANADA BOX OFFICE TUES. 4/20 4/20 SHOW THOMAS C.

Tonight's game isn't so much a tune-up for tomorrow's non-conference showdown with Missouri as much as it's an opportunity for the younger Jayhawks to get extended playing time. Zac Elgie PLAYER TO WATCH Playing time has been sparse for Eligie as of late, but he's excelled when given the opportunity. Elgie's home run against Missouri State (3/31) proved to be the winning run in the game, and his pinch-hit single against Texas A&M (4/3) helped Kansas score the tying run. If Eligie can continue to make progress at the plate, he'll be a valuable power bat for the Jayhawks off the bench. Elgie BENEDICTINE OPENING PITCH BY THE NUMBERS This one won't be a problem at all for the Jayhawks. If the 8-31 record isn't enough to support that claim, here's another: Benedictine went 1-3 against Baker, who Kansas drubbed 16-0 in only five innings.

"I love being here at Duke and am excited about next year," Singler said in a statement released by the school.

Mark Recchi bumped Tim Kennedy off the puck in the right corner behind the Buffa lo net and fed it to Bergeron, whose quick shot from the right circle beat Ryan Miller.

SCHOOL LIFE Kilduff balances her studies and handball on a daily basis. She is part of the Study Abroad group EU Atlantis, a chemistry exchange program in its first year at Kansas. Kilduff is taking advanced chemistry classes in an attempt to accomplish her goal: designing pharmaceutical drugs for a career. Though chemistry and handball dominate her days, Kilduff has numerous other interests, as well. She hosts a radio show on KIJK from 2-4 a.m. on Fridays and laughs at the drunk guys marveling about her lingering Irish accent. DCU "My friends always make fun of me for it," Kilduff said. "They always say, 'This is Amurricna, Murrina,' and then I try to sound more Irish to make them mad." Kilduff is quick to defend her heritage, noting that playing handball here reminds her of the handball alley behind her school, or "schoo" if you hear it from her. "I'm clinging onto my Irishness," Kilduff said. "I haven't lost my accent. I can do an American accent. Mine's all Valley Girl." She said she loves the cheaper prices at restaurants and bars, and she turned 21 in November so she goes out when she has any free time. Kildaff's roommate Meghan McCormick, a freshman from Merriam, said that all the guys want to hear her accent. Kilduffmet McCormickthrough the St. Lawrence Center where they participate in a Catholic church group. And, despite a two-year difference in ages, the two get along very well. Marina Kildaff plays handball, similar to raquetball or squash except that it's played only with one's hands at the Ambler Student Recreation and Fitness Center. She juggles the pressures of studying abroad and working on a degree in chemistry with her love of the sport. Even though they're roommates in McColum Hall, McCormick says she rarely sees Kilduff in the room because of her busy schedule. "it's kind of nice because then you can just go to bed" McCormick said. "You don't have to worry about waking her up by coming in the room or anything." CONFLICT OF INTEREST Kilduff's studies, however, prevent her from playing hand-ball as much as she wants to. She said teachers in Ireland were a lot more lax and less concerned with daily assignments. The Atlantis program gives Kilduff and Duffyachance to receive a Transatlantic Dual Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Kilduff and Duffy went to the University of Regensburg in Germany last summer before coming to Kansas in August. The U.S. Department of Education funds the program. But when she can, she heads over to the Rec to keep her skills sharp. In both racquetball and handball, hand-eye coordination is extremely valuable. Kilduff's height helps too; she stands well over six feet. "it's good for daily life to keep you alert," Kilduff said. Inside her dorm room, Kilduff stores her handballs in a purse and an Irish handball annual from 2008 on her desk. She's the one with the first place-med on page 43. Leaving the dorm room, Kilduff points at a complex chemical reaction taped up next to the door that she completed in the laboratory. She points out the last chemical, one she claims is particularly dangerous. NFL While handball is a big part of her life now, playing handball professionally is almost unheard of.

Edited by Anna Archibalds Big-time NFL players can come from small schools When the scouting reports on Joe Flacco began to come into Ozzie Newsome's office in the fall of 2007, the Ravens' general manager was impressed. And by the time Delaware's season was over and Flacco had thrown for more than 4,000 yards and 23 touchdowns, Newsome realized there MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE could be a spot for Flacco as the Ravens' franchise quarterback. But as the preparations began for the 2008 draft, Newsome instructed his scouts to look for any imperfections in Flacco's mechanics, personality or background. "When you're dealing with a player from a smaller school, what you try to do is poke holes in him," Newsome said. "You don't know as Newsome took Flacco in the first round, and he helped the Ravens get to the AFC Championship Game as a rookie. Last year, he led them back to the playoffs. much about him because he isn't playing for a bigger program, so you really have to make sure about a guy." It was yet another successful draft-day story for a player who didn't come from a notable NCAA Division I program. Smaller schools can't be ignored, because they have produced some of the best players in NFL history. Ever hear of Jerry Rice (Mississippi Valley State), Walter Payton (Jackson State), Andre Reed (Kutztown), Art Shell (Maryland-Eastern Shore) and Phil Simms (Morehead State)? "The bottom line is if a player has the requisite qualities to play from a physical standpoint, when you're trying to figure out is if they can make the leap," Colts president Bill Polian said. "Many times, it will take a while, but if you see there is talent, then you have to be willing to take the chance that they will make the transition to the NFL."

The fire, confined to the upper half of the building, apparently started near the Pine Room and spread immediately to the roof, which was completely destroyed in the older section of the building. Bill Rowlands, information counter manager and night manager of the Union, discovered the Union fire. "I heard something pop," he said, "it sounded like a light bulb exploding and I ran upstairs. I think that everyone in the building noticed the smoke about the same time and evacuated the building." Firetrucks arrived 15 minutes after the fire was reported. Frank Burge, Union director, told firemen when they arrived the fire was confined to the center and western sections of the roof at that time. After an hour and a half of fighting the fire, flames of 20 to 30 feet shot off the roof and scorched the center tower of the Union. The intensity of the flames caved in the roof and leaped to the south addition of the building, caving in that section. The fire was finally brought under control around 2 a.m. today after flames had gutted the top two floors of the Union's main section. Lawrence Fire Chief Fred Sanders said the fire started near an elevator on the third floor near the Pine Room. "The man in the Union said there was a definite explosion," Sanders said. "It blew plaster off the ceiling and tore off the elevator door." Later this morning Sanders said it could possibly be three days before the official cause of the fire was known, but added, "In my opinion, it was set." Sanders said he reached his conclusion after talking to firemen and policemen at the scene. Frank Burges says 'thanks' University of Kansas Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers, who is in Washington D.C. attending (Continued to page 12) Frank Burge, Kansas Union director, issued this statement: early today after the fire at the Kansas Union building: "I want to express my gratitude to all the many students who helped to save the valuable oil paintings, art objects and furnishings from the fire and water last night. It was a tremendous display of efficiency and effectiveness. I estimate that approximately $50,000 worth of art were rescued by students." "Many students helped to combat the fire by aiding firemen with hoses, some even working on the burning west roof of the building. Many students brought coffee and doughnuts for the firemen and volunteered to help the police keep the crowds from interfering with the work of the firemen. Later in the morning Burger issued the following statement: "The students were willing to do anything within their power to hold damage to the Union building to a minimum and aid the authorities in any way they could. "I am tremendously impressed and grateful to the students for their immediate concern and actions during the fire last night."

Sgt. Damon Thomas, of the Lawrence Police Department, said late Tuesday that officers received a tip from an individual who said they knew the suspect. Bar management offered a $1,000 reward for information on the suspect's identity. Thomas said a female student, born in 1987, received a citation and a notice to appear Monday for failing to report an accident, leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving and driving with a suspended or revoked license. "She said she had had some drinks earlier in the night," he said. "But we obviously didn't have probable cause to do anything with that three days later." Thomas said alcohol had likely played a role in the incident. Police said a woman was spotted between 2:30 and 2:45 a.m. Sunday driving away from the bar, at 1307 W. 7th St. Thomas said the woman was driving a silver SUV, owned by a male KU student from St. Louis. The car's owner — who allegedly loaned the car to the female driver — originally reported the car stolen. Thomas said. The male suspect could face charges for filing a false report if the District Attorney decides to prosecute, he said. The car was found in Lawrence. Police said they expect to release the individuals' names today. P. J. Mather, general manager, said the bar should reopen by Friday or Saturday.

At an age when life's opportunities start to present themselves and a picture of the future is coming into view, these women are faced with a difficult choice they aren't ready to make: abort the pregnancy or have a baby. Although most people approach abortion as a philosophical and moral issue, these women approach their decisions from the most intimate and life-changing perspective.

It took a state biologist, firefighters and police about 45 minutes to free the bear's head from the can after the animal was found late Sunday morning off Vermont Route 106 in Reading. Fish and Wildlife Biologist Forrest Hammond used soap to lubricate the bear's head but it didn't work. Firefighters helped him cut the can off. iowa woman fires shot at intruder DES MOINES, Iowa — An elderly Des Moines woman used a handgun to ward off a man who bashed in the front door of her home. Beatrice Turner said the man pounded on her door early Tuesday. Despite being told he had the wrong house, the man used his fists to break through the wood door. The 89-year-old Turner said she grabbed a handgun and told the man she would shoot if he came inside. When the man entered, she fired a single shot. A neighbor called police, who found 37-year old Nelson McAlpine standing on Turner's lawn. The uninjured McAlpine was arrested on a charge of second-degree burglary. Security camera catches accident LORAIN, Ohio — A home security camera in Ohio has captured a construction mishap that could have been a lot worse. Video from the camera shows a large blade spinning off a saw being used to cut through a street. The blade then rolled through a yard and ended up leaving a 3-foot gash in the side of an empty house in Lorain, 26 miles west of Cleveland. Man arrested for driving only 5 mph FARMINGTON, Conn. — A 39-year-old driver was pulled over in Farmington this weekend where police said he was doing 5 mph in a 40 mph zone. Police said Isreal Nieves of Bloomfield had the drug PCP in the car and a 9-year-old passenger. He was charged Saturday with driving under the influence, possession of narcotics, risk of injury to a minor, driving at a dangerously slow speed and driving without a license. He was being held in lieu of a $10,000 bond and was expected to appear in court Monday. It could not immediately be determined if he has a lawyer.

Aid for Women is one of two abortion providers in Kansas City, performing abortions up to about 15 weeks of pregnancy every Wednesday and Saturday. The poster in the bottom left depicts an intact TAE'S STORY The unborn child's heartbeat sounds so fast and so loud coming from the speaker in the doctor's office. Aside from the image coming in and out of focus on the sonogram, you can't tell she's pregnant. She's 16, 100 pounds and one hell of a first baseman — her stomach as flat as ever. Tae smiles at her mother standing beside her bed. In that moment, everything is OK. It doesn't matter that her ex-boyfriend, the baby's father, had left her for someone else before she knew they were over. It doesn't matter that she has just finished her sophomore year in high school and is four months pregnant because, contrary to what her boyfriend said, pulling out doesn't stop you from getting pregnant. It doesn't matter that her own father wants her to have an abortion. It's an anti-abortion. Christian hospital, the nurse tells them. No help for them here, at least not if abortion is what they're looking for. "This is a pointless visit," her dad booms from the other side of the room, where he's standing, gritting his teeth against the sound of the fluttering heartbeat. 932 dilation and evacuation abortions, the procedure used on Tae, were performed in Kansas in 2008. KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT "The Kleenex are beside you to wipe off your stomach. We're all done here." The nurse gives one more meaningful look at Tae and walks out. Taic, her mother and her father have barely crossed through the sliding glass doors before her dad pulls out his cell phone, dials Planned Parenthood and schedules an appointment for an abortion the following week. --pri what we need "Is this what you want to do?" When they arrive at Kansas City's Planned Parenthood, they walk past a pair of women holding anti-abortion signs on the sidewalk. Tae fidgets in the waiting room, upset and confused by her father's behavior. A woman calls her name and she walks back for her appointment, alone. Tae learns from the nurse that she's too far along for the abortion pill. She has to have a procedure. A pill will induce contractions. Expanders will help her dilate enough for the extraction. All told, it will take about four days. The nurse schedules the abortion for next week and is about to leave to get the A door opens in Ta'e's mind. She shakes her head no. The nurse puts down her pencil and looks Tae sternly in the eyes. "It doesn't matter what your dad wants. It's your body." The nurse tells Tae she has to leave, that they can't perform an abortion on an unwilling patient, no matter how you vounge. Tae walk out into the lobby, unable to hide her smile. "She said it was my choice. And I don't want to have an abortion," she tells her father. Her dad's face turns a dark shade of red. He storms out ahead of her. --muscles can tighten and get back to normal. The pills make her legs and arms cramp up and spasm. During the next few weeks, her dad brings in the cavalry. Her godsister's mother. Her mom's brother's ex-wife. Anyone and everyone her dad can think of to dissuade her from keeping the child. Her dad even takes her back to Planned Parenthood a second time. And for a second time, she leaves making the same choice. After the second visit and a fresh round of pro-abortion lectures from family friends, Taë decides to give John, the baby's father, one more call. She puts him on speakerphone, her mother standing silently in the corner. "What is it, Tae? I'm with my girl." "John, we need to talk about this baby. I need to know what you think. I mean, do you care? It's part yours. You do have a say." Silence. Then... He says it so suddenly, so forcefully that Tae's mom sucks in a breath through her teeth. "Fuck it." This is new; he's not denying it's his this time. Her mom steps toward her, but Tae dashes upstairs. She locks her door before she collapses onto her bed, heaving sobs so deep she can hardly breathe. "Fuck you. Don't call me with this bullshit anymore. Just get it over with." Click "Kill it. I don't care," he says. The baby's dad doesn't want it either. Fine. Click. Her dad doesn't want the baby. The decision is hers, but among those she loves, she's the only one who wants to keep the baby. --muscles can tighten and get back to normal. The pills make her legs and arms cramp up and spasm. But if she's going to abort, she wants it her way. She wants the fetus to remain whole. Fine. On June 30, Tae returns to Planned Parenthood for a third time. She walks back to the nurses' offices, alone, goes through the same questions and gives the same answers. All except one. The nurse silently leaves the room, returning just a few minutes later with another nurse, an IV and a plastic cup. "Is this what you want to do?" In 20 minutes, the doctor comes in, and Tae puts her legs into the stirrups so he can have a better look. They start the IV to sedate her. Tae takes the pill. "The only reason I feel guilty is because I don't feel guilty about it." She can't feel a thing while the doctor inserts the expanders into her vagina - double the normal amount so the fetus can come out unscathed. He's done in five minutes, but he says it will be four days until it's time to extract the fetus. The nurses walk her into a waiting room, where she sits, alone, while the sedation subsides. That's when she feels the baby kicking and the nurse tells her it is a death spasm. Tae is doubled over in grief, her tears creating a growing dark spot on her jeans, when her dad comes back to get her. --muscles can tighten and get back to normal. The pills make her legs and arms cramp up and spasm. Minutes later, her mom helps her into the back seat of her dad's Chevy truck. Her mom's boyfriend rides shotgun. She slides in next to Tae and puts her daughter's head on her lap. At 2:30 in the morning on June 2, Tae wakes up screaming. I am going to die, she thinks Pain like she's never felt before sears across her abdomen. They connect her to another IV — probably Fentanyl for the pain — and place her legs in the stirrups again. Planned Parenthood is a half-hour drive from their home. It's the only word Tae can manage. Tae is still screaming. She rushes into a back room; the doctor and his team of nurses are waiting for her in their green scrubs. Speed. She can't feel anything, but she sees the doctor's arm, scooping. She hears the suck of a vacuum. The doctor numbs her cervix and the pain subsides. "Was it a boy or a girl?" "Looks like a girl" the doctor tells her. Tae passes out. It's all over in five minutes Her vagina is sore for the next two weeks, but it's summer. No school. She stays home playing Skipbo and Rummy with her mom. She has to take tiny white pills so her Throughout the summer, Tae thinks of that moment in the hospital, right before she passed out. A girl. I would have named her Tae — the pseudonym she asked be used to protect her identity in this story. --thrown a rock at her head, leaving a gaping gash in her forehead. He's kicked her in the chest, sending her flying across the room and gasping for breath. Today, she has a 3.98 GPA as a KU sophomore with plans to attend law school after she graduates in 2012. She spends her days juggling a 15-hour class load and her nights watching The Food Network with her boyfriend of four years. He doesn't know about her decision, even though they started dating only a year after the abortion. She doesn't think about the pink lines or the waiting room or the pain very often. And when she does, she feels gratitude toward her father. "If it weren't for him I wouldn't have done it, and I'm really glad I did," she said. "I wouldn't have a successful life." Five years after the abortion, Tae has just one regret. "The only reason I feel guilty is because I don't feel guilty about it," she said. "You shouldn't regret anything you do in life." KATIE'S STORY First, a hairbrush strikes her square in the arm. Then he hurls a full can of baked beans - it hits her in the ass. Running around the basement of his aunt's house, Katie tries to dodge the onslaught of canned goods and blunt objects Drake throws at her. Forcibly prevented from taking birth control, Katie stops having a period within the first month. From KATIE'S STORY Drake wants Katie to go out with him, score some crack, beg for money. Katie just wants a night off. He picks up a butter knife and uses it to slice open her forefinger. He grabs a jalapeno and takes a bite. He holds Katie down so he can squeeze the juice into her eyes. It burns worse when she cries. She's trying to wipe the jalapeno juice from her eyes when he punches her in the jaw. Then the arms. Then the chest. He hits her everywhere, until Katie is a sobbing lump on the floor. He shuts the door quietly on the way out so as not to wake his aunt. So ends another scene of abuse in the three-month barrage that has become Katie's relationship with Drake. In that time, he's stripped her down and gagged her in search of hidden crack. He's She tells herself she can't leave. He knows her phone number. He knows where she lives. He knows her adoptive father works nights — the perfect time for him to hunt her down and kill her should she abandon him. No matter what, she can't pass out. He said he'd leave her there, wherever she fell, if she did. She lasts three months in his aunt's house. Forcibly prevented from taking birth control, Katie stops having a period within the first month. One night, while working her way toward the house, begging people for money as she has at Drake's insistence since August, she stops. In the middle of Kansas Avenue in Kansas City, Kan., during a frigid, early-November twilight, she stops. And she turns around. In her childhood home, away from Drake, Katie can finally put the crack pipe down without fear of an attack. Katie enters a nearby café and asks the waitress for a telephone. A customer sitting nearby lends her a cell phone. She calls her adoptive mom. She wants to come home. Drake calls Katie two days after she escaped his abuse, his addiction and his rage. He declares his love for her, his regret for his actions and his promises for a better future. She has an appointment at Planned Parenthood that day with her mom. She knows she's pregnant and wants to see about getting an abortion. She would not bring a baby into an abusive relationship. It wouldn't be fair to the child. Katie hangs up the phone. And she would not let herself be tied to Drake the rest of her life. It wouldn't be fair to herself. She had decided long ago to have an abortion if Drake ever got her pregnant Katie and her mom walk into the clinic and wait 10 minutes before the assistant calls them to the back. The doctor at Planned Parenthood is the man who facilitated Katie's adoption into her new family as an infant. He administers a urine test. It's positive. As a favor to the family, he agrees to do the abortion right then and there, something that would become illegal two years later. Kansas now requires a 24-hour wait period before a woman can have an abortion. Katie sits on the exam table and waits while the doctor sets up. A few minutes later, she feels a small pinch in her stomach — the doctor tells her she's feeling the vacuum sucking the fetus out through a tube. That's all she remembers from an abortion that lasted only five minutes. Her mom writes a $400 check while Katie watches in the lobby. filation an Ja to k --- 1 y KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010 / NEWS 5A cts an intact Central Family Medicine 28th Week of Life itation and extraction, also known as a partial birth abortion, which was outlawed in the United States in 2003. Manager Jeff Pedersen said various protestors gather every day that abortions are performed. Adam Buhler/KANSAN Katie doesn't hear from Drake for seven months, until June 2006. He calls, claiming that he is a changed man. He's been to anger management and addiction counseling, and he wants her back. Katie believes him. She moves in with him two days later. He starts beating her within a week. In the two months she stays with him this time, he puts a cigarette out on her left arm, tries hanging her with his T-shirt and punches her in the mouth so hard, one of her bottom teeth punctures her lip and breaks open his knuckles. One day he takes her out by the rail road tracks. He thinks she gave head to a crack dealer for a score. He bangs her head, repeatedly, on the side of an old brick wall. He grabs a rusty rod iron and hits her over the head with it. He grabs a piece of glass from a broken beer bottle and places it at her throat, threatening to kill her. It would be the last time Drake touched her. --james calls two hours later — he wants to keep the baby. Her birth mother takes her to her birth father's house. The next day, campus police stop Katie for loitering and suspicious activity outside KU Hospital. It's working alongside her father at a woodshop that she meets James. The two-month relationship leads to another pregnancy, a tumultuous break up and another choice she would make alone. She's been dreading this moment since she missed her period two weeks ago. A trip to Planned Parenthood and two pink lines prevent Katie from denying it anymore. She has to tell him she's pregnant. James finally agrees to see her, despite their angry break up two weeks earlier. They're standing on his back stoop. She hasn't seen him since the fight. She doesn't miss the drugs or the pressure to do them, but she misses him, him and his wide, brown eyes. She catches herself staring and shakes her head to snap out of the memories. She holds out the pregnancy test and handouts from Planned Parenthood. He takes them from her, slowly, in disbelief. "I'm pregnant." "Hell no," Katie says. "What are we going to do?" Katie asks. "Abortion?" It's an option, but not the one Katie wants. She leaves, telling James to think about it. "Well, what about adoption?" Katie is cestatic. She loves kids. She still loves James. Maybe this time, being pregnant doesn't have to be a bad thing. But her phone rings the following day, it's James, and he's changed his mind. "I can't take care of a kid, man. I don't have money for myself." the next day, he calls again. "I want this baby. I want to The next day, he calls again. be a daddy." He changes his mind several more times in the next four months. Finally, realizing lames wasn't going to be the reliable partner she and the baby need, Katie makes the executive decision. Four months into her pregnancy, Katie approaches American Adoption to give her child the family she couldn't provide. As an adopted child, Katie knows the risks of relinquishing her baby to adoption. Her mom, pregnant and unmarried at 21, gave her up for adoption to a couple that couldn't have children of their own. About 1.5 million children are adopted in the United States every year. U. S. CENSUS BUREAU, 2001 Five years later, Katie's adoptive parents conceived, and Katie learned how to take the backseat to her younger sister most recently when her parents opted to fund Ashley's way through Washburn University. For Katie, they paid for only one semester's tuition at Johnson County Community College. But Katie isn't worried about her child taking second place with the couple she chose from St. Louis. They are young, in love and already devoted to the baby growing inside her. --holidays, that Katie regrets her decision to give him up. But the regret doesn't last long. Lacking money and motivation after meeting Drake, Katie dropped out after only a year. She was studying to be a high school teacher. Four days later, the couple comes to get the baby boy, whom they rename Benjamin, from Katie's arms. Keaton Michael was born via C-section at 12:20 p.m. on Sept. 17, 2007. He weighed 7 pounds, 4 1/2 ounces. Before they leave, they take Katie to dinner and give her a gold, oval locket with handprints and footprints on one side, a picture of Ben on the other. Although the couple agreed to an open adoption, promising to send pictures and letters and accept and save presents from Katie, this would be one of the last times she would hold Ben in her arms until or if — he came looking for her. It is only then that Katie breaks down and cries. Ben is 2 $ \frac{1}{2} $ years old now and, judging from the pictures and letters, he's doing great in his St. Louis home. He has big, blue eyes and plump, white cheeks. He looks a lot like Katie. A good thing, she says. She sees him again that Christmas, her last chance to say goodbye before Ben is old enough to remember. There are times, looking at the pictures on her Blackberry and on birthdays and "I think I did a great thing for him," she said. "I couldn't have given him the life he deserves." Now, with Ben in good hands, Katie is trying to get her life back on track. After a three-year hiatus, Katie returned to JCCC last fall. But she could afford only one semester. Now she's taking a break from school, working two jobs so she can move out of her adoptive parents' home soon. Katie rarely hears from James these days - just an occasional text message asking for photos of Ben. She's sent him two and says that may be all he gets. Drake is out of the picture as well. He tried to call in December, after his latest stint in jail for drug possession, but Katie ignored his calls. Distanced from the pain, Katie speaks freely about her experiences. "For me, it's kind of like closure," she said. "The more I talk about it, the more I can put it behind me and not have to think about it as often." ERIN'S STORY is the middle of the night and it's 95 degrees outside. 1 The Harmony House doesn't have air conditioning — just windows that let in the muggy, Jamaican air that smothers the missionaries inside. The acrid scent of jackfruit trees fills the air. Erin shifts on her mattress, trying to block out the smell, the heat and the growing discomfort in her stomach. It's got to be gas bubbles, the way her stomach is gurgling, churning and turning. She looks down at her bare, flat stomach — she's wearing a sports bra and shorts, sweating, the idea of a blanket laughable in the sweltering humidity. A bump pushes out the right side of her abdomen and crosses to the other side. And then she sees it. She feels a pitter patter across her belly. No I can't be. You can't get pregnant when you're raped. She sees another bump. It happened in February He had said he was 22 years old, this friend of a friend. But he wasn't. He was 36. She went to his house to confront him, and he raped her. He raped her right there on his bed. She doesn't sleep that night. When the sun rises, Erin rubs her eyes like everyone else and prepares for one last day of work. And now, 17 years old in a foreign country with her church group. Erin is five months pregnant. She's there with Olathe Bible Church to build two houses in the slum of PLEASE PAY TO PISS OFF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT CHILDREN · LEFT UNATTENDED WILL BE TOWED AWAY AT OWNER'S EXPENSE Adam Buhler/KANSAN Displayed in the front window of Aid for Women, these signs greet patients and protesters alike. The signs read from top to bottom, "Doing my part to PISS OFF the Religious Right""We do sacred work that honors women and the circle of life and death. When you come here bring only love,""Children left unattended will be towed away at owner's expense." She went to his house to confront him, and he raped her. He raped her right there on his bed. From ERIN'S STORY She tries to take it easy, scared she could hurt the baby already growing inside her, but it's the last push to finish building. She spends the day pouring cement and hauling bags of sand up and down the hill where the houses stand. She doesn't want to board the plane — she remembers reading about how you're not supposed to fly when you're too far along. But she can't explain her fears. Not to them. She buckles her seatbelt and prays. The next day, she's snorkeling with her friends in the Caribbean. The missionaries are there one more day. Harmon, Jamaica. It's Aug. 5, 2008, and she can't fit into her 1940s-style red dress for the jazz concert that night. "Erin, how can you not fit into this? I just bought it last month." Her mom lifts her chin. They make eye contact. Erin sees the worry, the knowing. The floodgates holding back her secret break, and the tears she hasn't cried flow down her cheeks. --- Her father is in Colorado with her older brother. And it's a good thing, too. He wants to kill someone, preferably his daughter's rapist. Her younger sister is hysterical. Erin looks to the floor for refuge from her mother's prying eyes. For Erin, the next three months are the hardest: It doesn't take long for word of her pregnancy to spread around her Christian high school. The kids are fine, even excited. It's the parents who treat her differently, reluctant to look her in the eyes or even speak to her. She wonders why. She didn't do SEE PREGNANCIES ON PAGE 6A 6A / NEWS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM PREGNANCIES (CONTINUED FROM 5A) anyining wrong. She stays home for most of that semester, making it to one football game, her stomach already growing. By that time, she's already decided to keep the baby. Erin's birth mother has told her what it was like to give her up, and Erin knows she isn't strong enough to do that. STOP She worries the baby will look like the father, that she'll be haunted by her attacker's face her entire life. Adam Buhler/KANSAN She wonders about the life she had planned for herself — the college degree from the University of Kansas she's been dreaming of, a career in music therapy. All will be put on hold to take care of a child she hadn't planned for. Seventeen parishoners and a priest from Saint Cyril's Church in Kansas City, Kan., bow their heads in prayer over rosaries Saturday outside Aid for Women. Jeff Pedersen, manager of the private abortion clinic, said a group from the church located just four blocks away, prays outside the clinic the third Saturday of each month. In the end, it's her baby. Her baby. And she wants to keep it that way. She considers herself lucky. Erin applies for Women, Infants and Children, a social welfare program designed to help low-income mothers. She's already worked out a deal with her parents to let her live there for free room and board — if she cleans the house. --- Erin wants a natural birth — no medication, no pills. When her water doesn't break Nov. 16, the due date she's been anxiously awaiting, she reads up on some labor-inducing tricks online. She eats cantalope, watermelon and kiwi. But her baby doesn't come. She goes to the hospital with her family at 7:30 a.m. Nov. 21, a troupe of loyal girlfriends on the way to hole up in the waiting room until it's over. She's connected to an IV of Pitocin to induce labor, which begins an hour later. By 3 p.m., Erin loses her will to resist relief from the pain. She asks for an epidural. Thirty minutes later, it's finally time to push. One. Two. Three. That's all it takes — three pushes — and Erin's baby boy screams his presence to the sky. Erin fills out the birth certificate Name: Isaiah Timothy Hettick. Mother. Erin Marie Hettick. Father. Unknown. There are 4 million births in the United States each year. NATIONAL CENTER OF HEALTH STATISTICS --- That was two and a half years ago. In that time, Erin has graduated high school, attended a semester of college and, as of April 15, become a certified nursing assistant. She's seen all but about 10 friends move on or away, although they were already distanced by the gap of their experiences - hers as a mom, theirs as young singles. - hers as a mom, them as young singles. Her ideas of fun have changed from sleepovers, movies and the mall to knocking down empty boxes of Pampers and Huggies with Isaiah, scavenging for baby clothes and toys at garage sales with her mother and catching precious moments alone with her boyfriend. Claude. Her money, which once went toward makeup, earrings and beads, now goes to diapers and baby toys. She's gone from being a left-midfielder in soccer and a football cheerleader to "momma" and a qualified professional. And her wake-up call starts at 7 now, with a muffled cry from Isaiah sleeping near her, not the usual 10 to noon mornings of her 19-year-old peers. 'Saiah, her dimpled, milk-chocolate skinned, hazel eyed, curly-haired son, is ready for action early. He's trying to talk now — "Gaga" being the operative word in most conversations. He can sign, too: thank you, milk, music, please. It's only when Isaiah is lying down and Erin can see the roundness of his face that she thinks of her attacker. Erin tries to forget the day she was raped, but she hasn't forgotten that humid night in jamaica when, after the shock of her pregnancy, she considered abortion. "I hate to say that, but I did," she said. "Because when you say, 'I would never have an abortion. That's terrible', that's because you're not really pregnant. Kind of in the back of your head you're like, 'I'm never going to be in that situation.'" For that reason, she refuses to judge women who make that choice. Some days, when she lets her mind wander while Isaiah is napping upstairs, Erin wonders how different her life would be if she had made a different decision. Try as she might, she simply can't pic ture her life without Isaiah. And she doesn't want to. VANESSA'S STORY The same thing happens on the second test. She doesn't bother with a third. The pink lines come 10 seconds after she pees on the strip. It's supposed to take at least 60 seconds. Those two lines tell Vanessa the weird feeling in her stomach isn't from a bad burrito. She is pregnant. How is this possible? Every night at 9, like clockwork, Vanessa takes a little blue pill to prevent this very thing from happening. She's been on birth control for five years now - since 8th grade, when she and her fiance, Cameron, first got together. She's never missed a cycle. Until now, when she realizes birth control isn't always dependable. What are we going to do? At first, Cameron is excited. He's loved Vanessa since he first saw her in the halls of their middle school near Manhattan. And he's marrying her in three months anyway. He knows they'll have kids. It's all right with him if they start early. Vanessa, on the other end of a long-distance phone call, brings him back to Earth. He's a full-ride football player at a university up north with three years left to finish his degree in criminal law. She's a 20-year-old KU freshman with five years of pharmacy school in front of her and will remain deployable with the Army for the next year. Initially planning to abort Vanessa, her mother carried her to term as a junior in high school at the father's insistence. She married Vanessa's father and had a second child, a boy, by him before she packed up her things and left. Motherhood overwhelmed her. It isn't until the last Thursday in January that Vanessa goes to Kansas City's Planned Parenthood to carry out their final decision — a decision influenced by her own childhood. 6,365 abortions were performed in Kansas on women less than nine weeks pregnant in 2008 KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT Vanessa's mother deserted her husband and two children while Vanessa was still learning how to walk. The two take four weeks to decide, going back and forth from abortion to school transfers and night classes. So Vanessa grew up under the awkward but well-meaning love of her devoted father. When Vanessa wanted pigtails, he tried his hardest to make that part straight. But it never was, and her pigtails never matched up. When she wanted to go clothes shopping for six hours at a time, her father waited patiently outside the dressing room, holding her purse. When it came time for Vanessa to get her first bra, he went with her. Vanessa grew up wondering what she had done to make her mom run away. Once she was old enough to understand, Vanessa vowed to never put her children through that, that she would be a better mother than hers. Cameron, who grew up watching his parents struggle to make ends meet, comes to the same conclusion. He wants to earn enough money to provide for his wife and children — something he can't do as a college student. So at age 20, facing the prospect of having a child, forgoing school and working full time to support it, Vanessa remembers that vow and decides not to continue her pregnancy. --- Vanessa waits in the lobby of Planned Parenthood with her two best friends, wondering why Cameron isn't there. Yes, he's got football practice. Yes, he can't afford a plane ticket and still afford to feed himself the rest of the month. Yes, she told him it was OK. But sitting there, amidst other scared faces, she notices how few men are there with their women. Damn. Why isn't he here? He doesn't have to deal with the pain. Nothing's growing inside of him. Why isn't he here? The aide calls her name and Vanessa leaves her friends behind in the lobby. Vanessa looks to the screen and sees a tiny, gray dot just a bit larger than the other moving blurs that surround it. That dot is the five-week-and one-day old embryo. Lying on the table, Vanessa waits as the nurse hooks up the equipment for a vaginal ultrasound — the embryo inside her is too small to be seen otherwise. She's relieved: It's still early enough to take the abortion pill. She doesn't know if she could have gone through with an actual procedure if she were further along, despite reaching the decision she knows is right for her, for Cameron and for their family. The nurse gives her a bottle containing four pills in exchange for $650, which Vanessa charges to her Visa card. Put all four pills in your mouth at the same time, two on each side, between your gum and cheek. Back in her dorm, she reads the back of the box: They taste disgusting. Wait 30 minutes for the pills to dissolve. Ten minutes later, Vanessa is on all fours, experiencing a cramping pain in her stomach she has never known. Instead of dissolving, they feel more like Winterfresh gum that's been chewed too long. Her three roommates, unaware of what's happening, rush to her side. Finally. "Are vou OK?" "Vanessa! Vanessa! What's wrong? "Vanessa! Vanessal. What's wrong?" "Do you need anything?" "No! just leave me the fuck alone!" "...he..." They obey. She can't walk, let alone stand. For the next 30 minutes, she's writhing on the floor, unable to think of anything but the searing pain in her abdomen. The pain subsides. She starts to bleed. She grabs one of the thick, extra large, front-to-back menstrual pads she hasn't worn since she was 14 and afraid of tampons. The nurse had said the only way to be sure everything comes out is to avoid tampons. She barely makes it back to her bed, she's so tired. She sleeps soundly through the night. In the morning, her pad is already soaked with blood, something she'll have to get used to in the next four weeks. But she feels fine — until she looks to her desk and sees the 4.5x6 inch black and white sonogram and the dot of the five-week-old embryo it shows. In the aftermath, she drifts away from Cameron and cries daily. She starts second-guessing herself and asking questions she'll never know the answer to. Would it have had its daddy's smile? My almond-shaped eyes? Would it have been a boy or a girl? "You can't judge. I judged before experiencing it. You can't do that." VANESSA "I don't think a psychologist will be able to help you with that," she said. "It's something you have to do on your own, something you kind of have to come to terms with." It takes her a few months, but she works through her depression, never once thinking to tell her father — she knows he wouldn't approve. She never considers seeking a psychologist for help. Vanessa returns to Planned Parenthood for a check-up on March 11 — the pill worked as it was supposed to. The news comes just in time: Vanessa and Cameron are married in Lawrence a week later. "I was like 'No one has the right to do that,'" she said. "If you're woman enough to open your legs and do it, then you should be woman enough to take care of it." Vanessa says she doesn't regret her decision, although before she got pregnant, she was against abortion. But when she was confronted with her own unplanned pregnancy as a 20-year-old freshman, she gained a new perspective. "You can't judge. I judged before experiencing it. You can't do that," she said. "It's not black and white. Everyone has their own reasons. Everyone has their own hopes for their children. Everyone has their own hopes for themselves. So you can't draw a fine line. I used to think you could, but you can't." Before the first spoonful, like clockwork, she takes a little blue pill and thinks about the mother she will wait to become. Every night before bed, Vanessa walks downstairs to the kitchen and pours herself a bowl of Frosted Mini-Wheats for a bedtime snack.

Neal Schuster, rabbi and senior Jewish educator to KU Hillel, said the book was unique in that it focused on the business aspect of Israel rather than the conflict there. "It looks at issues in a completely new way and has the potential to bring solutions to the table that are different than the traditional solutions." Schuster said. In his lecture, Senor touched on a number of key points that he deemed important to the success of the country's economy. Among them, he said, the ability to take risks, the bold attitude of young Israeli adults and military expirience have contributed greatly. "Irael develops leaders at very young age," Senor said. "At age 18 they serving in the military, then they go to a University and when they get out at age 25 they go to work for huge companies; or they start up their own." Senor went on to explain that the lessons learned while serving in the Israel Defense Forces carry on to the business market. "They're taught to 'be smart' and use your head' on the front lines every day. You can't teach that in the classroom," Senor said. "They take that out of the military and into the private scene, the start-up scene." Senor also said that the progressive immigration policies of Israel positively affected the country's economy because the country was more willing to risk it all in the hopes of advancement. According to Senor, Israel has twice as much venture capital investment as the U.S. and 30 times more than Europe despite being in a constant state of war. His book exposes how this is possible. "Their whole life is a start-up," he said of immigrants. Aaron Dollinger, a junior from Leawood and member of KU Hillel said he thought the book was interesting because it touched on many different facets, including the business world today. "It's extremely important for entrepreneurship because that's thriving in the world," Dollinger said. "The book talks about the basis behind their success. It's a business study rather than a culture study." As the U.S. economy faces a major economic recovery movement Senor said the innovation and business lessons of Israel should be considered. "Our economy is looking for ideas," Senor said. "And Israel seems like a good place to look." Edited by Kate Larrabee CAMPUS MORRISBURG CENTER FOR EDUCATION Mia lverson/KANSAN Students are having to make adjustments with construction on Robinson Field. Workers are re-waterproofing the 700-foot segment of the underground tunnel, crowding people that play on the field. Students adjust to field construction BY JENNY TERRELL jterrellkansan.com Students are adjusting their recreational play as the utility tunnel under Robinson Field gets a waterproof makeover. Waterproofing the 700-foot segment that runs underground between Robinson Gymnasium and Watkins Memorial Health Center is expected to cost $1.1 million. Gary Lawson, project manager of design and construction management and overseer of the project, said the project should be completed before classes started in August. Unearthing the tunnel has closed the playing field east of Robinson Gymnasium that is used by classes of Heath, Sport, and Exercise Sciences and for informal recreation purposes. Bernie Kish, director of facilities for Robinson Gymnasium, said the steam tunnel was important because it heated and cooled the buildings and also contained telephone and computer wiring. "It's just an inconvenience that we have to put up with and it's going to be for the better," Kish said. To waterproof the tunnel, contractors are uncovering the top and both sides of the 8 by 8 feet structure. Once it is exposed, the concrete surface is inspected and any deterioration is chipped away and replaced. Smaller cracks in the surface will be filled using an epoxy material to prevent penetration from ground water. After the repairs are made, a heavy waterproofing blanket will cover the exterior of the tunnel for extra water protection. Then, perforated drainage pipes will be added on each side of the tunnel's base to pump ground water away from the tunnel. THE PROCESS OF WATERPROOFING There are several HSES classes this spring, such as The Coaching of Softball and Ultimate Frisbee, that use the fields on a regular basis. Kish said summer classes that used the field had only 10 to 15 students, so they would be able to use the smaller playing fields. However, the University will play host to two sessions of HSES summer camp, which enroll about 100 kids each. The camps use the fields extensively and adjustments will be necessary. "As far as the field itself, you can make do over there." Kish said. Samuel Newkirk, a sophomore from Paola, plays Frisbee on the playing fields with a group of friends every Friday. Newkirk said that playing around the construction had been difficult and that it had caused crowded games because there is no room to play two games at once. Kish also said he had been working to get the field south of the sand volleyball courts open by the summer, which would open up more playing space. "But they just are going to be extra cautious about it with all the little kids for safety reasons." "Plus, the disc will go over the fence sometimes, requiring someone to go around and get it," Part of RKS steam tunnel system behind Wattins Memorial Health Center began to leak during the recent wet weather. The construction should be finished before classes start in August. The image shows a close-up view of a concrete foundation with visible cracks and uneven texture. The foundation is supported by steel beams and appears to be part of an infrastructure project, possibly related to construction or maintenance. The surrounding area includes rough rocky terrain and sparse vegetation. The focus of the image is on the structural details of the foundation. Mia Iverson/KANSAH Newkirk said it would be nice if the project could be held off until the summer, but that he didn't know how much time it really required. Newkirk said. A few short water lines, which provide water to Watkins, are also being replaced, Lawson said. He said that there weren't any other segments scheduled to be waterproofed for now, but that more needed to be done if funding became available.

(785) RC Those who voiced support for the move included members of the general population, shelter workers and former shelter residents, who said that the shelter helped save their lives. Brad Cook, field instructor with the School of Social Welfare, said the new shelter was necessary because addiction and disabilities — which often plague the homeless community — could not be cured overnight. Andrea Gillip, an intern at the shelter and a senior from Leavenworth, said the new shelter would continue to do great things for the community. "Everyone that works there is a miracle worker," Gillip said. "They help people that are just down and out, and broken with nowhere left to turn." "We wish we didn't need a community shelter,but in this day and age,we do" Cook said. In the first quarter of 2010 the shelter helped place 17 individuals in permanent housing and placed 10 in full-time jobs. Loring Henderson, shelter director, said. Diana Taylor, a homeowner near the proposed site, said that she and her husband had worked hard in their lives and that their property was a major factor in their retirement plan. "If the shelter is approved no one will want to buy our property." Taylor said. Although the first reading passed 5-0, the ordinance requires a second reading, which will be held April 27. After the three hours of public hearing, the city commissioners discussed the proposal, citing concerns such as a divided public, revised shelter rules, and the appropriateness of the location. Many of those who were against the proposal own property around the proposed site of the new shelter, and cited declining property values and safety concerns. About 150 Lawrence citizens attended the meeting. For three hours, more than 50 people voiced their concerns to the city commission. Though the relocation is essentially a zoning issue, the real debate was captured by the often-repeated opposing phrases "not in my backyard" and "if not now, then when."

The shelter move would take place in 12 to 18 months, depending on how quickly the shelter could raise funds. Henderson said.

'Tonight Show'musician steps down TELEVISION MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE PHILADELPHIA — "American idol" will have an easier time replacing Simon Cowell than The Tonight Show will filling the shoes of Kevin Eubanks. For the last 15 years, Fubanks has kept the late-night institution purring, serving as lay Leno's bandleader, second banana, and comedy-sketch sidekick. (Before that he was a member of the Tonight Show Band for three years under Brantford Marsalls.) With his amused manner, winning smile, and easy chuckle. Eubanks has made it all look so easy that viewers tended to take him for granted. Forwards Until, that is, the guitarist announced last week that he will be stepping down at the end of next month What led to his decision? "I've been trying to put my finger on it," he said by phone. "It kind of creeps up on you after that long — 18 years on television, five days a week, 46 weeks a year and "It really didn't have anything to do with it," Eubanks said. "That situation was a strain on the entire show, not just Jay but on the crew. On me. But you still have to do your routine. My job was to make sure (the band) stayed focused and didn't get caught up in things we had no control over. I just need a change of pace." Some in the press have speculated that Eubanks' departure was precipitated by the ugliness surrounding Leno's recent supplanting of Conan O'Brien on "The Tonight Show" throne. never missing a day of work.It's a lot to keep that energy up every day." "I want to play some music and not just jazz," he said. "Other genres, too. It’s weird but I don’t consider myself just a jazz musician." So there's a good chance he'll put together an ensemble and take it into the recording studio or out on tour. But surprisingly, Eubanks, 52, is also determined to stay active in television. For the moment, he's keeping his post "Tonight" options wide open. "I don't feel it's necessary to abandon one to do the other," he said. "There are some shows that tape only four months out of the year, so there'd be time to do a variety of things." People say, Oh, we thought you would go back on the road. Well. I learned a lot and I'm proud of being able to work in this medium," he said. In the short term, maybe hell just return to his parents' house in Philadelphia and act like a slugabed, an indolent role he likes to play several times a year anyway. Growing up in that house, Eubanks was steeped in music. His mother, Vera, is an accomplished pianist. His uncle, Ray Bryant, played keyboards with Miles Davis, Coleman Hawkins and Sonny Robbins. As a boy, Eubanks thought it was nothing out of the ordinary to have visitors such as Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson singing in the parlor. "I lay on the couch and act like I'm helpless and can't possibly get to the kitchen," he said with his infectious laugh. "I know it's just in the next room, but could you bring me some food, Mom? She seems to enjoy it." "I can't talk of a time when I wasn't engaged in music," he said. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

"SITTING ON A FLOOR, STARING AT THE WALL...AGAIN." 'REHAB FOR TWITTER ADDICTS' AROOJ KHALID INTERNATIONAL Cultural values found in food There is a popular Chinese saying that goes, "people regard food as their prime want." Growing up in China, I found this to be true. Chinese people hold their food in high-regard and appreciate everything they eat. When I came to the U.S., I was struck by how differently Americans associate with food. This led me to believe that understanding a culture can start with understanding its food. In my small hometown of Macau, I saw what I thought was a miniature replica of world cuisine. This wasn't exactly accurate. Many of the offerings were not traditional, but, instead, had been adapted to fit the tastes of the Chinese. Here, "international" fast food is quite a stretch. That sweet and sour chicken from your favorite Chinese take-out place? I hate to admit it, but that is a distant cousin of real Chinese cuisine. Egg drop soups, which are features in Chinese buffets in the U.S., don't actually appear in our daily menu, as they are of low nutritional value. Fortune cookies also don't exist in China. They are believed to have been brought to the U.S. by immigrants to serve as "Chinese dessert" to cater to American eating habits If I hadn't studied abroad, I would never have known how Chinese food is tweaked in foreign countries. Because of the widespread influence of globalization, different cultural elements diffuse among countries — it's not even a surprise to see a Chinese restaurant in Paris. 李欣怡 Life in a Kaleidoscope Chinese meals make use of all of the tastes: sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. Rice is the most important staple food in China. Everyone at the table has a bowl of rice and several other dishes to share. We also have hot soup instead of salad The same concept is widespread in America. Here, the two distinctive flavors in food are salinity and sweetness. In an ordinary meal, there is usually a salad appetizer, some kind of meat for the main course and finally a sweet dessert to wrap it all up. BY JOSIE HO jho@kansan.com Flavor isn't really the main point of traditional Chinese soup; rather, it is its function. For example, in summer we make soup that helps relieve heat in the body. In winter, we make dishes that keep us warm. and dessert. The Japanese don't put cream cheese in sushi, but somehow it tastes decent with raw fish and other ingredients. Also, traditional sushi isn't served as roll all the time but a piece of raw fish meat on top of a handful of sticky rice. Not to solely criticize the authenticity of Chinese food in America — tweaking food to fit the different cultures exists everywhere. TIPS FOR FINDING AUTHENTIC CUISINES: Actually, as long as it tastes good crossover doesn't really matter. Just remember not to naively believe what you eat means what it is.

Some are good: the blossoming of beautiful flowers, the end of classes and the warm temperatures. However, some of the changes also carry bad consequences: pollen-filled air that causes itchy eyes and runny noses, and fast-approaching finals. Students don't have the power to eliminate the allergens or to fast-forward through finals. However, we do have the power to make other changes. The lives of college students are-jam packed. If they are lucky, students may be able to squeeze in a couple of hours for sleeping. Organically Speaking In addition to the foods students pollute their bodies with, there are the drinks consumed on weekends. Although drinking can be fun, excessive drinking harms the body. Dehydration, liver damage and vitamin deficiency are just some consequences. When it comes to more "trivial" choices, such as a greasy hamburger versus a vegetable-filled salad, students usually choose what is easiest. Needless to say, fast food hamburgers are a popular choice. When students order greasy fast-food items, they also order high sodium and fat. These types of foods increase the risk of high cholesterol, obesity, malnutrition and heart problems. One of the best ways to start is by spring cleaning. I don't mean the typical cleaning of closets. This year, focus on cleaning and detoxifying the body and mind. With summer just around the corner, spring is the perfect time to replenish and repair the body. One way to do this is to eat nourishing, vitamin-rich foods. Instead of just grabbing fast food, take time to grocery shop and prepare meals. When at a local market, try to fill the grocery cart with a variety of foods. One easy guide to follow is to A BY RACHEL SCHWARTZ rschwartz@kansan.com try to get foods from every color in the rainbow; blueberries for blue, spinach for green, tomatoes for red, etc. This way, the meal will contain many vitamins and minerals that are essential in nourishing the body. Another important part of detoxifying is getting rid of stress. It is unrealistic to eliminate all stress. A little stress is even good, in that it can motivate a person to crank out tasks. However, excess stress can cause or intensify health problems, including insomnia, depression and heart disease. One way to reduce stress is to laugh. According to the nonprofit organization HelpGuide.org, laughter relaxes the muscles in the body, reduces stress hormones and increases antibodies that fight illness. Also participate in physical exercise. Choose whichever form is preferable. Some enjoy yoga and others enjoy running. Physical exercise releases endorphins into the body that, as Elle Woods says, "make you happy." Cleansing the body of high stress levels and replenishing it with vitamins and nutrients make for a healthier and happier college student. During this final month of school, take some time from paper-writing, test-taking and socializing to take care of yourself. Schwartz is a sophomore from Leawood in journalism and Spanish.

Eager to find help for her chronic acne Emily Willis, now the owner of Sun of a Beach Tanning Salon, located in the Kansas Union, began using a tanning bed at the age of 14. "I tried a lot of different treat I needed a lot of ments." Willis said. "But taming seemed to be the only thing to help" Soon, younger tanners may no longer be able to use tanning beds. In late March the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel of the food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed prohibiting anyone under the age of 18 or anyone with very pale skin from using indoor tanning beds. Kansas currently prohibits anyone under the age of 14 from tanning, but anyone between ages 14 and 18 can tan with parental consent, depending on the salon. Sun of a Beach already requires people under the age of 18 to be accompanied by a parent to use a tanning bed. Willis said because few of her clients we under 18 she didn't think her business would be significantly harmed if the FDA's proposals were approved. "People ask, 'How can I tan safely? ... If your skin is tanned, it is, by definition, damaged." The panel also voted to raise the risk classification of tanning beds. Currently, tanning beds have a Class I designation, the least severe classification. Opinions were still divided on whether or not to increase the classification to Class II or Class III These restrictions would come in addition to a tanning tax imposed as part of health care reform legislation. This law will require businesses to charge a 10 percent tax on use of tanning beds beginning in July. Lee Bittenbender, a dermatologist with the Dermatology Center of Lawrence, said he supported the FDA's recommendations. "The more stringent the restrictions on tanning, the better,' Bittenbender said. LEE BITTENBENDER Dermatologist "People ask, 'How can I tan Bittenbender said people seemed to be more knowledgeable about the effects of tanning now than when he began business more than 30 years ago. However, he said there were still misconceptions about tanning, especially among young people. safely. Bittenbender said. "Let's get that straight. If your skin is tanned, it is, by definition, damaged." According to the American Academy of Dermatology. more than 30 million Americans use tanning beds each year. The World Health Organization (WHO) links the popularity of indoor tanning to increased incidences of skin cancer, which is the most common type of cancer. In addition to elevating a persons risk for skin cancer, the use of tanning beds is also linked to skin aging, eye damage and other negative health effects, such as suppression of the immune system. Heidi Zarda, a junior from Shawnee, started tanning her freshman year of high school. By the time she got her drivers license, she was tanning nearly every day. Zarda said she knew the risks associated with tanning, but continued anyway. It wasn't until last year that Zarda said she realized tan skin wasn't worth sacrificing health. She now supports banning people under the age of 18 from tanning, because they may not look at the long-term picture. "Skin cancer is one type of cancer that we can try to prevent," Zarda said. are being overlooked. Much of the medical community has met the FDA's recommendations with support. However, some argue that the benefits of tanning John Overstreet, media director of the Indoor Tanning Association, said he was concerned with the effects the proposals would have on both businesses and people. He said tanning salons played constructive roles by providing advice, particularly to individuals with paler skin tones. "If you do it the right way, there aren't problems." Overstreet said. Overstreet said that if people were banned from sunbeds they would most likely go outside to tan. He said this could increase their risks of burning because they wouldn't receive suggestions from salon experts on how much exposure may be appropriate for their skin tones. According to the World Health Organization, there are rare cases where specific ailments, including psoriasis and dermatitis, can be relieved by tanning. Even with these conditions, the use of sunbeds should only be done with close medical supervision, Bittenbender said. Bittenbender said he occasionally recommended sun exposure as treatment to a very small group of people. He said he was cautious in advising tanning and was concerned about sending mixed signals. Willis, who opened her salon in 2008, said people should acknowledge the risks involved with tanning. However, she said individuals should be able to decide if they want to go tanning or not. "It's a choice, what we do to our bodies, whether it's drinking alcohol or smoking." Willis said. Sun of a Beach also offers spray tanning, an alternative that Bittenbender said could help people achieve a tanned look without negative consequences. "Many young people figure they're immortal." Bittenbender said. "But if you really want to look as good as you can for as long as you can, you should not tan."

He carried with him a bright pink envelope holding his ticket and his method of payment — a bag full of 1,000 pennies. But Ready, a senior from Dallas, wasn't allowed to pay his ticket with pennies because a department payment policy stated that fines could not be paid in coins. Annoyed. Ready decided to take action to end the policy. ing up for his rights, especially when it came to the law. He said he had always questioned authority to avoid being a "victim to the system." "I figured since they wasted my time giving me this ticket. I am going to waste theirs." Ready said. "Besides, no one really likes the parking department." Ready scoured library books and searched through government websites, including the U.S. Treasury's, where he discovered that he had the legal right to pay his debt in coins, even in pennies. Ready said he enjoyed stand Ready emailed Donna Hultine, director of KU Parking and Transit, to discuss his findings. "Let them know that there are consequences for making you wait. And you'll find things will happen quicker." Ready said. "Part of this I did just to be an asshole. But it's still really funny." After seven messages between the two, Hultine let Ready pay his ticket in pennies. painless for the department. "He is definitely a very persistent person." Hultine said. "I can't imagine that other students would want to pay in pennies, though. Theyd need to consider how much time they want to spend on counting them out." Ready said he did not think the two weeks spent researching and fighting the policy was time wasted, because he helped change a policy that could help other students in the future. She said the process was fairly The parking department no longer has a policy that prevents students from paying in coins. "Legal precedent has been set; they let me do it," Ready said.

KANSAS 11, BENEDICTINE 2 Jayhawks bat down Ravens 34 ANSAS Sophomore rocks pitching, collects two home runs Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Sophomore first baseman Zac Eligie celebrates with teammates after blasting a two-run home run. Eligie had two home runs and four RBIs. BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter/bm/dub The wide grin seen on Zac Elgie's face as he rounded the bases and slapped hands with teammates was evidence enough of the kind of night he had at the plate. The sophomore first baseman went 2-for-3 with two home runs as Kansas (23-14-1, 5-6-1) cruised past Benedictine 11-2. Much was expected of Elgie heading into the season, but he got off to a rough offensive start going 3-for-31, and only recently began swinging the bat well. Elgie said that of the many adjustments he'd made to break out of his slump, the most important was to his confidence. And the next one left no doubt. "The main thing is you've just got to be comfortable, and I think I've finally gotten it to a point with my approach and my physical adjustments that I'm starting to get real comfort," he said. The layhawks let the Ravens hang around for the first three innings with the score tied at one run apiece. Then Elgie came to bat in the fourth. Elgie ripped a sharp line drive that cleared the fence in left by only a few feet, making the score 3-1 in favor of Kansas. With two outs in the seventh, Elgie blasted the third pitch deep over the trees in left and quickly jogged around the bases. "Even though you're playing a non-Division I game, the fact that he crushed two balls is a huge step forward for him," coach Ritch Price said. The Jayhawks scored two more runs in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Jimmy Waters and a sacrifice fly from Elgie. Then, in the eighth inning Kansas capitalized on two Benedictine errors and smacked four hits to score five runs, putting the game out of reach. Price said the progress that Elgie had made at the plate meant the sophomore would be in the lineup tomorrow against Missouri, where he needed to prove himself. "He's got to do it against somebody good," Price said. Elgie, still smiling after the game, said he felt good about his effort and was ready for his next opportunity. "To go out there and feel good about going into the Missouri game tomorrow and then coming home for the weekend, hopefully it can change my season around," he said. Edited by Drew Anderson Border Showdown heads to Kauffman Stadium BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter.com/bm_dub With a rivalry as big as Kansas and Missouri's, it's only fitting that the venue hosting the game is even larger. For the third straight year Kauffman Stadium will host the Border Showdown, where the Jayhawks (23-14-1, 5-6-1) are 2-0, including a 7-3 victory against the Tigers last season. "It's definitely fun," senior second baseman Robby Price said. "It's a great atmosphere, great experience to go down there, and then there's the rivalry." Coach Ritch Price said that on his first visit to Columbia he was unprepared for the rowdy fans and hostile atmosphere. "You've only got to play one series and then after that you're a Jayhawk for life," he said. "It's personal." Tonight's game might be a non-conference affair, but the rivalry is as impassioned as ever. Echoing the sentiments of his coach, sophomore first baseman Zac Elgie said his first taste of the Border Showdown was greater than he imagined. Because Big 12 teams can only play three conference games against one another during the regular season, the contest is a non-conference matchup. The layhawks and Tigers will play their three-game series on the weekend of May 7. "I remember going there last year, and when I first walked in I was kind of in awe," Elgie sait. SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 3B TU KU UP NEXT Kansas vs. Missouri WHEN: 6:30 p.m. WHERE: Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Mo. Player to watch Freshman Thomas Taylor Non-conference matchup or not, tonight's game marks Taylor's first start against a Big 12 opponent. Taylor has been sharp of late. He notched a career-high eight strikeouts in a victory against Missouri State on April 13 and two-thirds of an inning of scoreless relief in Sunday's victory against Nebraska. Taylor will need to continue to get ahead of batters by throwing first-pitch strikes and limit his walks to replicate his recent success. "The good thing is, Taylor is a completely different guy than he was four weeks ago,"coach Ritch Price said. "Now he's starting to command his fastball and mix in his breaking ball. It's a big game for him." BRENDAN WILLIAMSON Taylor Freshman focuses on details to prepare for fall FOOTBALL BY JAYSON JENKS jjenks@kansan.com During every practice this spring, a familiar message is preached to one of Kansas' offensive linemen. Sometimes, Kansas' coaches harp on footwork or the use of hands. Other times, they'll holter to lower pad level. Either way, not a practice goes by without freshman left tackle Tanner Hawkinson hearing those commands. "Every day, every minute, every second of every day," offensive line coach J.B. Grimes said, "those are things that he can affect as a player fundamentally to make himself better. And they have nothing to do with how much he bench presses." On an experienced offensive line that will return every starter from last season. Hawkinson perhaps possesses the most potential. After all, he was named All-Big 12 Honorable Mention in his first season as an offensive lineman. PAGE 1B start of next season, and much of that work centers on the technical aspects of the offensive line. Yet Hawkinson still has plenty of room to improve before the At 6-foot-6, 290 pounds. Hawkinson is considered undersized for a left tackle in the Big 12. In that case, instead of simply overpowering defensive linemen, the more agile Hawkinson must focus on the game's intricacies, such as proper positioning of his Hawkinson hands and feet. Recruited as a tight end out of high school, Hawkinson arrived at Kansas weighing 243 pounds. He then moved to defensive end before finally settling in as a left tackle. "You can get them stronger, but it's hard to make them quicker and faster," Grimes said. "It's like coaching them tall. It's hard to coach them tall. You just can't do that." That background as a tight end - he caught 30 passes for 500 yards as a senior - is one shared by many successful offensive tackles, including former Kansas lineman and current Houston Texan Adrian Jones. "Over the years, since I've been coaching offensive linemen, some of the better guys we've had were tight ends in high school," said Grimes, who started as an offensive line coach in 1977. Still, Hawkinson rarely showed up in a negative light, and he earned Freshman All-American honors from the Sporting News and the Football Writers Association of America. In his first season at left tackle last year, Hawkinson consistently weighed around 285 pounds - a drastic jump from his days as a tight end. Many of the rest of the Big 12's offensive tackles tipped the scales weighing at least 300 pounds. "He's a natural fit," sophomore center jeremiah Hatch said. "Last year it wasn't his natural position. He had a bumpy road, but he also did good last year. Not to criticize last year, but now he's got it down pat." Even now, in need of adding more bulk to his frame, Hawkinson appears noticeably bigger from a season ago. "Looking from now to where I was last year, I just feel like I've grown into my body," Hawkinson said. "I had to gain the weight so quick last year." able with the added weight this season. He said he felt more comfort- In the meantime, Grimes said,Hawkinson must sharpen his fundamentals in order to make up for his lack of girth. . Grimes, who repeatedly praised Hawkinson's athleticism, listed the proper use of hands, footwork and keeping a low pad level as areas Hawkinson could use to offset any lack of weight or strength. "You can make a difference with technique and fundamentals to help a guy like that," Grimes said. "But like I said, you can't coach them fast and quick." Edited by Megan Heacock COMMENTARY New start for football leadership and player BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com "It's the most free I've felt in a long time, since like my senior year of high school," Johnson said after practice. Johnson wasn't talking about playing in the new system coach Turner Gill implemented. He was talking about his knee. Johnson's story represents the over all mood of the Kansas football team right now. Steven Johnson, a junior linebacker from Pennsylvania, left practice Monday with a smile on his face, just like most of the other players. It's spring, the sun is out and the spirits of the players are higher than ever. But Johnson may be the most joyful of them all. The frame of a team rebuilding from a harsh leader has fallen by the wayside, just like Johnson's right knee brace. --- Johnson suffered a career threatening injury in high school while running a deep fly pattern as a wide receiver in Media, Pa. But Johnson Kansas looked past the injury and gave him a chance to walk-on in 2008. He had to play all of his freshman year with an ACL brace, similar to the ones linemen wear, and still almost got the job as a starting outside linebacker. Then he was able to upgrade to a lighter knee brace in 2009, but the restriction of movement remained and he only picked up nine tackles in 10 games. Now Johnson's knee has been let loose. "Sometimes I come out and run on the field and I feel like I'm missing something." Johnson said. "I'm so used to wearing stuff on my legs. I feel like I'm missing my girdle, my knee pads or something. Now I just come out here and feel free." And Johnson's performance in spring practice has shown that unbound potential. He is now playing with the first group of linebackers consisting of himself, senior Justin Springer from Los Fresnos, Texas, and freshman Josh Richardson from Dublin, Ohio. Johnson said that after practice coaches in the past would get on players' backs in a way that could negatively affect them mentally, but that it was different now. Although a depth chart hasn't been set, at this point in spring practice it looks as though this group of three will be the hitting power of Kansas' defense. The brace that came off Johnson's knee and the fresh leadership of Kansas football made for a spring practice that the team desperately needed. "They tell you when you do wrong," Johnson said. "But they get on you the right way so you can pick yourself up and keep moving on." It is the quintessential spring rebirth: the beginning of a new program and the beginning of a bright future for Johnson who aims to continue to impress coaches in the Spring Game Saturday.

McClatchy-Tribune Dad can't vote for son's award MORNING BREW Dell Curry, former NBA player and current commentator for the Charlotte Bobcats' broadcasts, usually gets one vote every season for his choice of Rookie of the Year. But not this year. Not when his own son posted 17.5 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds in his rookie campaign and somehow managed to look good on one of the most dysfunctional teams in the league Stephen Curry, a sharp-shooting point guard for the Golden State Warriors, is one of three front-runners for the Rookie of the Year Award. His father Dell has been deprived of his vote for Rookie of the Year this season. The NBA claims that Dell would undoubtedly vote for his son and skew the vote. At first glance, that seems fairly reasonable. Dell has to be proud of his son and would seemingly want nothing more than to see Stephen's hardware start piling up this year. But who's to say that Dell won't vote for other worthy candidates such as Sacramento's Tyreke Evans or Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings? Here are some reasons why Dell might vote elsewhere: It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that only fellas named James, Wade and Durant can get to the hoop better than Evans. Yeah, Jennings dropped 55 on Stephen's Warriors earlier in the season and led the Bucks to the playoffs. But have you seen Jennings' fade? While at Davidson College, Stephen couldn't beat eventual champion Kansas in the Elite Fight. Despite pouring in 25 points, he only shot 9-25. BY MAX ROTHMAN youthman@lynx.com Dell could still be upset that he was never voted Rookie of the Year, but just Sixth Man of the Year later in his career. There had to have been that one time when baby Steph just wouldn't stop crying in a public setting. It would be unjust to strip a commentator of one of the few rights that he possesses. The league should allow Dell to vote for Rookie of the Year. He might look past his son's second-to-third-place season and actually vote for the deserving Evans. MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS In honor of all of this rookie talk, the Brew will break down five great rookie albums that have never been touched by previous Vaults (sorry Illmatic and Velvets & Nico fans). 5. Love — "Forever Changes" A hippic copy from 1967, the summer of love, "Andmoreagain" is simply one the best tracks of the decade, but Arthur Lee's band is widely forgotten. 5. Love — "Forever Changes" 4. Talking Heads — "Talking Heads "77" This artistry, street-accessible debut was just the beginning of consistent excellence in unparalleled pop and funk. No one can mirror a young and kooky David Byrne. THE MORNING BREW 3. De La Soul — "3 Feet High and Rising" Hip-hoppers with thick-rimmed glasses instead of chains and ice ushered in "the Daisy Age." The 1989 classic sparked an alternative wave of rap and hip-hop that is still around. 2. Miles Davis — "Birth of the Cool" The man who defined cool wasn't yet experimenting with funk or rock and roll in 1956. Instead, this is a more conventional Miles piece played at a level so supreme, it's untouchable. 1. The Jimi Hendrix Experience — "Are You Experienced?" The world formally met the greatest guitarist that ever lived on August 1, 1967. This album was his most well-rounded and featured an astonishing mix of blues, pop and psychedelic rock.

Shawn Camp (1-0) pitched 12-3 innings of relief for the victory as Toronto won its ninth consecutive home series against the Royals.

Wells cut it to 3-2 in the fourth with a one-out homer off the facing of the third deck in left, his seventh. Toronto chased Kyle Davies (1-1) with a two-run seventh. Wells led off with a double to left and Lyle Overbay followed with a double to center that landed on the warning track, just beyond the reach of Rick Ankiel. Josh Rupe came on for Davies after Bautista and Buck each hit an infield single, making it 4-3. Buck's hit, a slow grounder down the third base line, snapped a 0-for-15 slump. Associated Press Celtics defeat Heat with ease despite the absence of Garnett NBA ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — The Boston Celtics didn't miss Kevin Garnett at all, not the way Glen Davis filled in to lead them to a 106-77 victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night and a 2-0 lead in their playoff series. With Garnett serving a onegame suspension for elbowing Quentin Richardson in Game 1, Davis started and had 23 points and eight rebounds, going aggressively to the basket to grab missed shots and draw fouls. The Heat took a 29-25 lead on a dunk by lermaine O'Neal. But the Celtics used a 44-8 surge over the next $16\frac{1}{2}$ minutes to go ahead 69-37, capped by one of Ray Allen's five 3-pointers in the third quarter. Allen led the Celtics with 25 points, while Dwyane Wade scored 29 for the Heat. Game 3 is Friday night in Miami. Tempers stayed under control throughout the game, just three days after a skirmish with 40 seconds left in Boston's 85-76 victory led to Garnett's suspension without pay and Richardson's $25,000 fine. Garnett was hovering over teammate Paul Pierce, who had fallen near the Miami bench after hurting his shoulder. Garnett held off Richardson as he came up from behind. They then exchanged words before the elbow hit the Heat forward in the face. Garnett wasn't allowed in TD Garden, but made a prerecorded appearance on the scoreboard above midcourt during a timeout after the Celtics scored 19 straight points to take a 44-29 lead with 2:56 left in the first half. He encouraged the fans and when the scoreboard followed with a "Let's Get Loud" message, they raised their voices. In the opener, the Heat led 61-47 with 7:03 left in the third quarter. Then Boston outscored them 34-10 to go ahead 81-71 with 1:46 to go in the game. Richardson was booed almost every time he touched the ball. The Celtics started their spurt a lot earlier Tuesday. Trailing by four after O'Neal's dunk with 10:10 left in the second quarter. Boston got started on a 3-pointer by Michael Finley. It took the lead for good on a 3-pointer by Allen. Then rarely used Shelden Williams, substituting for Davis, hit a field goal. Davis made two straight baskets, Allen connected on another 3-pointer, Pierce sank two free throws and Allen got a layup. Davis followed with two free throws, giving the Celtics 21 straight points. Miami finally broke through on a 21-foot jumper by Michael Beasley. That made it 46-31 with 2.07 left in the half. The Celtics have won the last three games they played against the Heat without Garnett. When Garnett, known as the "Big Ticket," missed last year's playoffs with a knee injury, Davis called himself the "Ticket Stub." He proved to be a very capable replacement, playing in all 14 games and averaging 15.8 points and 5.6 rebounds. 785-841-5000 1445 W 23rd St Monday-Wednesday 2 PM-3AM Thursday 2 PM-3:30 AM Fri./Sat, 11 AM - 4 AM; Sunday 11 AM - 3AM GUMBY'S Pizza Gumby Dammit 14" Large Cheese Pizza OR Pizza $4.99 16" XL Cheese Pizza $6.49 * Valid delivery or carryout * Must mention when ordering 12" Mix'N Match • 10 Wings • 5 Pepperoni Rolls < Choose any 2 for • 12" 3-item Pizza $15.00 • 12" Pokey Stix 16" Mix'N Match • 20 Wings • 9 Pepperoni Rolls < Choose any 2 for • 16" 3-item Pizza $20.00 • 16" Pokey Stix Campus Special 1 - Item Pizza or Pokey Stix Small: $6.99 Medium: $7.99 Large: $8.99 Ex-Large: $9.99 Massive 20": $13.99 [Dorms and Greek Houses Only] Spend $20 or more & receive a FREE Sml. order of Pokey Stix The Heat did accomplish one goal, cutting down on their 22 turnovers in the opener.

ORITUARY Kerry Meier's brother dies in Arkansas hiking accident ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — Former Kansas State quarterback Dylan Meier, a member of a prominent Kansas football family, has died in a hiking accident in Arkansas. The school said authorities in Newton County, Ark., reported that Meier died Monday after a fall at Whitaker Point, also known as Hawksbill Craig. A spokesman at the University of Kansas said Dylan's younger brother, Kerry Meier, was one of several family members who were also on the hiking trip. Kerry was a record-breaking all-Big 12 wide receiver for the Jayhawks and is awaiting this week's NFL draft. The Meier family of Pittsburg, Kan., is well-known throughout the state. BROOKLYN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT Older brother Shad Meier played tight end for Kansas State from 1997 to 2000 and had a six-year career in the Meier NFL, mostly with the Tennessee Titans. Dylan Meier, 26, started the first five games at quarterback for Kansas State his senior season in 2006 before Josh Freeman took over the position. Altogether, he started 11 games at quarterback for the Wildcats and threw for 2,287 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was a member of Kansas State's 2003 Big 12 championship team. PHILANTHROPY JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT SEXIER AXE UNDIE RUN CHALLENGE The school that donates the most clothes wins. On campus May 6th facebook.com/axe Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said Tuesday the Wildcats would dedicate their spring game on Saturday to Meier, who was also an academic all-Big 12. "Dylan was an absolutely unbelievable young man in all the right ways," Snyder said. "He was a leader in our program and was mature well beyond his years. He possessed all the intrinsic values that make one successful and guided others in that same direction. His spirit and passion for life, adventure and for others will live on in the hearts and minds of all of us that he touched." Before the spring game, Meier will be honored with a video tribute and a moment of silence. "The K-State family will all miss Dylan and remember him fondly," said Kansas State Athletic Director John Currie. "I did not have the good fortune to know him personally, but the wonderful things I've heard about him and the reaction to this sad event leads me to believe he was an outstanding person and leader and will always be remembered as a part of the K-State family."

The group did include a good mix of players, including two Kentucky freshman, Kansas junior center Cole Aldrich, and a power forward from the Czech Republic, but one thing really stuck out. Among the 10 players listed none were seniors. SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com The Wave editor In the past few years, it has become rare for really good players to play four years in college before being drafted to play in the NBA. Since the NBA changed its age rule to prohibit players from entering the league straight out of high school, more and more players have been spending just a year or two in college basketball. Kansas freshman Xavier Henry declared for the NBA Draft two weeks ago to become the first Jayhawk to ever make the jump to professional basketball after just one year in Lawrence. Henry had a good first year for Kansas, but he is one of several players who could have really benefitted from another year in school. Since the new rule was established four years ago, players such as Henry have started playing college basketball while knowing that they will likely not be attending college for more than two years. In the case of Henry, he planned on playing for Kansas for one year to fine-tune his game After a year at Kansas, it was probably a much harder decision for Henry than he ever thought it would be. He made great friends on the basketball team, played with his older brother, and got to enjoy the best atmosphere in college sports. Henry was ready to go to the NBA, but it was a tough decision to leave the Jayhaws. before putting his name in the draft. In a lot of ways, the NBA's age rule has hurt college basketball and players who end up going to the NBA before they are completely prepared for the pros. The experience of a four-year college basketball player such as Sherron Collins cannot be underestimated, and it really is a shame that more NBA-level players do not take advantage of their chance to play at a great basketball school for four years. I think the rule has also decreased the number of teams who can really contend for the National Championship every season. With fewer great players sticking around to play three or four years of college basketball, fewer teams are able to have the best athletes. The 2007-2008 school year provided a great example of how the NBA's rule has changed NCAA basketball. The parity that was seen in the 2007 college football season, which featured big upset after big upset, was not seen in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. For the first time ever, all four No.1 seeds made it to the Final Four. The best players were really concentrated among just a few teams and the tournament lacked the upsets that have defined the event for so many years. More and more, players are being drafted for their potential. This strategy has often worked out for the NBA, but it really is hurting college basketball. Gone are the days of a great class of players going through four years of college together and gone are the days of an NBA Draft filled with seniors who worked four years in college to get there.

Henry declared for the NBA Draft two weeks ago after averaging 13.4 points per game for the Jayhawks during the regular season.

Geubelle placed third in the event with a distance of 12.7 meters. --- By Kory Carpenter kcarpenter@kansan.com While many Jayhawks finished off the 83rd Kansas Relays with first-place finishes, the real story was the obvious one. Veronica Campbell-Brown set the meet record in the women's 200-meter dash Saturday afternoon. The five-time Olympic medalist finished with a time of 22.23 seconds, a full second ahead of the second-place finisher. The Jamaica native was joined by her husband Omar Brown, who won the men's 200-meter dash, clocking in at 20.84 seconds. Brown is the only woman in Olympic history to defend her 200-meter crown, winning gold in both the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. American spinner Ivory Williams also set a Relays record. His time of 9.95 seconds in the men's 100-meter dash earned him Kansas Relays MVP honors. The previous record stood at 10.01, held by Brendan Christian since the 2007 season. Another Relays record broken was the women's 4x400-meter relay. The all-star team quartet of Shellene Williams, Valerie Brown, Kineke Alexander and Halimat Ismali set the new record with a 3:35.65 finish. Nike's Dexter Faulk set the nation's fourthfastest time in the 110-meter hurdles. The former Barton County Community College hurdler made his first Relays appearance as a professional. His time of 13.55 seconds earned him the title in the invitational event, which he also won as a collegiate athlete in 2003. Kansas thrower Mason Finley squeaked out a discus title with a seven-inch edge over opponent Michael Torie. The Kansas freshman also holds the Pan American Juniors record in the same event. Another Kansas freshman, Kyle Clemons captured the 400-meter dash crown with a time of 46.94, a season best for the runner. Kansas also claimed victory in the men's 1,500-meter run as sophomore Donny Wasinger earned gold with a season-best time of 3:51.55. One of the weekend's closest finishes came in the men's 110-meter hurdles. Lehann Fourie of Nebraska earned gold, but the battle for second was too close to call. Kansas' Keith Hayes and Kansas State's Jeffery Julmis finished a mere two hundredths of a second apart, with the edge going to Julmis. The University of Nebraska men and women felt right at home this weekend with gold medal performances in a number of events. They swept the 4x100-meter relays, with the men finishing at 40.58 while the women clocked in at 46.73. The Cornhuskers also captured the top two spots in the women's 100-meter hurdles. Karyn Lacour stood atop the podium with a time of 13.70, while teammate Arna Erega finished second in 13.78 seconds. Another Cornhusker, Amanda Latsch earned gold in both the women's shot put on Friday and discus on Saturday with a distance of 48.44m.Not to be outdone,Nebraska runner Eric Lund earned the top spot in the men's 400-meter hurdles.His time of 51.24 put him comfortably in first place. Missouri men and women also swept the two-mile relays. The Tigers have been very successful in the event, named for former Kansas coach Bob Timmons. The men have captured nine titles while the women have won the event five times. In the women's 5,000 meters, it was never even close. Emily Sisson (unattached) blew away her competitors with a final time of 16:20.44. Kansas standout Lauren Bonds finished second, but was still a full 36 seconds behind Sissons. The Tiger men also won the sprint medley relays with a final time of 3:36.67. Missouri sophomore Blake Irwin joined his teammates atop the podiums with 1st place in the men's 800-meter run. Irwin finished with a time of 1:50.52. In the field events, the men's long jump title was given to Kansas City Community College's Malcolm Pennix. Bettie Wade (unattached) earned top honors on the women's side. For the fourth time in his career, Jacob Pauli won the men's pole vaulting title with a height of 7.32m. After earning a collegiate title while at Northern Iowa in 2000, Pauli has now captured three titles while competing professionally for Nike. The large turnout of more than 5,000 athletes made these Relays the second largest meet of the year, which included high school, college, and the Olympic athletes who highlighted the event.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE APRIL 21,2010 6 FEATURE TUMBLEWEE Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN THEWAVE APRIL 21,2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1 FEATURE 7 + ED TURNED ACE Oe After an elbow injury changed his plans, senior Cameron Selik is now thriving as a Jayhawk By Max Rothman mr@kansan.com The bright lights of the big leagues were once tanqible for a young Cameron Selik. He successfully converted from a backup catcher to a relief pitcher. In 2008, he signed his letter of intent to UNLV, which granted him a scholarship. The path to stardom was paved. Then he blew out his right elbow, and seemingly his future. Selik underwent Tommy John surgery shortly after. "They pulled out of the scholarship and I was stuck with nothing. Junior college guy, unproven, coming off injury. No one's really going to give you that chance — until I met coach Price." Kansas coach Ritch Price was in the Las Vegas area recruiting high school kids when he stumbled upon Selik the tumbleweed. The two met up so that Price could check out the arm of UNLV's leftovers. "Knowing he was there, I probably went a little too hard." Selik chuckled to himself. It took just one bullpen session for Price to make up his mind. 11 months removed from surgery, Selik was a Jayhawk. Born like this Selik was born to be a ball player. "The first word out of my mouth was'ball'" Selik said. At age 5, the San Diego native began playing baseball with his father, a former junior college pitcher. "I fell in love with it as soon as I started playing. It's what's always been there for me," Selik said. In little league, Selik was Goliath, towering over toothpick teammates. "That's when the offensive prowess got put into play; Selik said of his little league days. But Selik's eventual pinpoint precision was still undeveloped. His wild throwing on the mound nearly snapped opposing toothpicks that dared to step into the batter's box. "They didn't let me pitch at all because apparently I threw too hard and had no idea where the ball was going." Selik said. "I always got yelled at because I was playing too close," Selik said. "When the big hitters were up, I still wouldn't move." Without pitching, Selik groomed into a pillar at the corners—a first and third baseman. When high school rolled around, Selik said that his work ethic off the diamond was good enough to get him to junior college, but nothing more. He enrolled at Grossmont College in El Cajon, Calif., but was unsure of how he would fit in with the baseball team. "I was afraid I was going to get cut," Selik said of his first day there. Initially, he considered trying out for the team as a backup catcher (an old friend and long-time teammate was already in place as starter). But his coach, Randy Abshier, didn't want to waste Selik's arm on the bench. Selik threw a bullpen session for Abshier with surprising accuracy. Then in the last scrimmage game of the season and the second game of a doubleheader against Point Loma Nazarene, Abshier handed Selik the ball. Due to Grossmont's shaky defense, Selek's lone inning read as follows: zero hits, one unearned run, two errors by teammates and four strikeouts. Abshier told him to leave his catcher's gear at home. Selik was a pitcher now. A New Trade Selik made the team that year as the last of nine players on the pitching staff. Still unproven, he wasn't used until a blowout in the twelfth game of the season. "Everyone says that the first time my name was called, I was shaking and tried to hang up my jacket and could barely do it," Selik said. In two innings, Selik struck out five batters and established his role as the go-to guy in the bullpen for the rest of the season. "I loved coming out of the pen in tight situations" Selik said. The next season, Selk was again an ace, but this time as a starting pitcher. With little starting experience, he said that he struggled to manage his arm and body for the long haul of a game. Going from one or two innings to six or seven was no easy transition. But the talent was always there. "You can tell by the way he pitches that he's got a lot of swagger to him" junior pitcher Wally Marciel said. Selik also struggled coping with playing just once every five games. He said that he closed games on days that he wasn't starting. "That probably contributed to me getting hurt," Selik said. "But that's always the guy I was. I'd do anything to help the team win." Selik grew up playing with Stephen Strasburg, the stud pitcher for the Washington Nationals and In a midseason game, Selik got roughed up in a 45-pitch, two-inning clunker and Grossmont had worn out all of its relief pitchers. But the team had a date with a heated rival two days later. Of course Selik offered his services. The result — a complete game three hitter on two days rest. A Different Place last year's No. 1 draft pick. Strasburg currently lights up radar guns with triple-digit heat and embarrasses hitters with an 86-mph curveball-slider hybrid. But Selik used to catch Strasburg, and he wasn't impressed. "Nothing really clicked for him until he got to college." Selik said. "When he was in high school when we grew up together, he was just another one of the guys. He didn't have a great work ethic and was out of shape until he got to college." At San Diego State, Strasburg's starts were the only times that anyone would show up for the games. No Strasburg, no crowd. "On the West Coast, it's all about pro sports. It's the Padres. It's the Angels. It's pro football teams." Selik needed a place that could match his passion for the game and thankfully found Lawrence. "I honestly believe that some people would rather watch our team than the Royals."Selik said. "It's a better atmosphere for the game and what brought me out here." The Flame-throwing Mentor Now in his senior year and second season as a Jayhawk, Selik is learning to not just jump, but to execute his fastball, slider, curveball and change-up. "It's another year removed from the injury," pitching coach Ryan Graves said. "He has more trust and all of his strength back." Having been there and back, he also serves as a mentor for younger players. "I had Tommy John as well and I was asking him questions," Marceli said. "I was timid about throwing my slider, but he told me to keep throwing it" In nine games started this season, Selik is 5-3. Batters are hitting just. 256 against him and he has struck out 48 to just 17 walks. It would be safe to say that he has grown past the days of the wild little leaguer who wasn't allowed on the mound. "You never have to worry about firing him up to pitch,"Graves said. One more crack at the Show After hitting 95 mph on the radar gun against Baylor on March 27 (despite it being one of his worst games of the season), a scout from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim gave Selik a call. He recently received letters from the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays. "Over the last month, he's really opened some eyes," Graves said. "The fact that he's been a reliever and a starter, he's a pretty versatile guy." It may have been by a different path than originally planned, but the bright lights of the big leagues are starting to illuminate once more. The tumbleweed turned into an ace. Now he's got another chance.

Senior second baseman Robby Price tosses the ball to first during a game earlier this season against Arkansas-Little Rock. The Jayhawks are now 21-14-1 overall. Waters, who had homered in each game to begin the series, teed off for two more home runs to lead Kansas (21-14-1, 5-6-1) to a 6-1 victory on Sunday. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN With the Jayhawks already leading 1-0 in the third Waters, a junior left fielder from Omaha, crushed a three-run home run to right-center field to extend the lead to 4-0. Meanwhile, freshman Tanner Poppe controlled the Cornhuskers from the mound. Poppe was sharp in his first start against a Big 12 opponent, scattering four hits over six innings while allowing only one run. Wally Marcel, Thomas Taylor and Travis Blankenship then combined to work the final three innings in relief of Poppe, allowing only one hit and striking out four And later, with the Jayhawks on top 5-1 in the eighth, Waters again stepped into the box again. Because he hadn't recorded a hit aside from the three that left the ballpark, Waters said he would have settled for a single. But with how locked-in Waters was at the plate, he launched the first pitch he saw over the left field fence for his fourth hit — and fourth home run — of the series, which capped off a 6-1 Jayhawk victory. "That's a pretty good weekend," he said. "I'll take it." Ben Ward ku NEXT GAME Kansas vs. Missouri C 6:30 p.m., Kansas City, Mo.

Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Senior second baseman Sara Ramirez throws the ball to first for an out against No. 9 Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks lost to the Cowgirls 11-3. The Kansas softball team (18-26, 1-10) is still struggling to find its stride. Last week the Jayhawks dropped a close game to Nebraska, lost a non-conference matchup against Creighton, and lost a pair of games at home against No.9 Oklahoma State. But the team also comes in with a little momentum — it nearly defeated Oklahoma State in the second game of the series. Kansas will get a much-needed break as it just finished five games in five days, and the team is now in the middle of a one-game-in-five-day stretch. The Jayhawks will also have a break in the quality of opponents as 10 of the 11 Big 12 games it has played so far were against ranked teams. Now only two of the last seven Big 12 games are against top 25 teams. The young team has stayed optimistic about its future and coach Megan Smith said she thinks the freshman class, which has led the Jayhawks for most of the season, is still playing well.

Jayhawks look to get on track in Big 12 play The Kansas tennis team continued to have trouble in conference play by losing 6-1 to Oklahoma State and 5-2 to Oklahoma last weekend. The Jayhawks' record is now 9-12 and 1-8 in conference. Despite the team's lack of success recently, freshman Vika Khanevskaya is on a four-match winning streak after defeating Katelyn Connelly of Oklahoma 6-4, 6-7(9), 11-9 in a third set tie breaker. Sophomores Erin Wilbert and Kate Morozova won their doubles match against Oklahoma State and Wilbert also won in singles against Oklahoma in another third set tiebreaker. "We are always so close with all these teams and I know my girls can do it," Wilbert said. "I know that we can do it; it is just a matter of finishing it."

CAMPUS VOLUME 121 ISSUE 141 THE PRICE OF PASSING KU Dining buys local food for Earth Day BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansna.com KU Dining Services is celebrating the 40th year of Earth Day by going local. As part of the Rock Chalk Green Hawk event tonight, KU Dining Services will serve food that comes from a 300-mile radius, from hamburger buns to eggs. "This is something KU Dining has been proactive with," said Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of KU Dining. Working with Sysco, a food distributor out of Olathe, and their local suppliers, Kidwell and Jim Schilling, assistant manager of Mrs. E's, have worked for more than a year to make the local dinner possible. On the menu will be hamburgers, fresh bread, bison meat, whole-wheat pasta, grilled cheese sandwiches, deviled eggs and ice cream As KU Dining's prime vendor, Sysco KC helped to provide those items that could be purchased locally. But not everything could fit the theme. "Unfortunately, the Midwest growing season and availability of fresh produce this time of year prevented us from being able to serve fresh fruits and vegetables as part of this menu lineup." Kidwell said. - Availability is not the only barrier to consistently providing local food. The cost, availability and quantity challenge residential dining services to provide local food. Schilling said. Nearly 1,500 residents will eat at Mrs. E's tonight, and about 600 residents at both GSP Corbin Hall and Oliver Hall will also eat the local meal. "We want to support local purchasing when it is feasible for our operations," she said. "That is why we look toward the possibility of increasing our local support, but we will have to weigh any financial impact because remaining fiscally responsible to our customers is also very important." To accompany the local food, the cafeterias will also have a local market atmosphere. Groups with information about sustainability This local night, like other events hosted throughout the year, such as the Thanksgiving and SpongeBob SquarePants dinners, costs more than a normal meal, and KU Dining budgets accordingly. Kidwell said. Some items on tonight's menu cost from 15 percent to as much as 195 percent more than the regular items. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN 11 Ryan Waggeon/KANSAN The chapel inside Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, 601 Indiana St., is seen from the alcove where the casket would be placed during a memorial service. Funeral homes in Douglas County provide services for about 500 deaths a year. Sales of the death men How America's funeral industry thrives on the dead SEE DINING ON PAGE 3A khardy@kansan.com BY KEVIN HARDY khardy@kansan.com Todd Miller slowly positions the head of the body between plastic blocks as Curtis Foley makes a 2-inch incision on the neck near the collar bone. Miller then digs beneath the skin, grasps the carotid artery and jugular vein and pulls them toward the surface, tying them together to ensure easy access for later. Foley makes a tiny cut for a tube to enter each vessel. Meanwhile, Miller closes the corpse's eyes. He uses plastic textured eye caps to affix the eyeball to the lid. This prevents the eyes from sinking into the skull and keeps the eyelids from dehydrating. He runs his hands along the arteries, preparing them to be emptied of blood. Miller washes the body several times with heavy-duty disinfectant soap and water and massages the body to loosen the muscles, reversing the effects of rigor mortis. In the world of morticians, this process is called "setting the features." Once embalming fluid is added, the body will stiffen into position — the position it'll stay in until it's buried. This body, like most of those that are embalmed, is destined for a plush casket, a fancy outfit and plenty of makeup, all before being placed in the ground and topped off with an elegant headstone. It's here, lying on a shiny metal table under the care of morticians like Foley and Miller, that most of us will eventually wind up. Roughly 2.5 million Americans die each year, and about 2 million of them will be embalmed, according to the National Funeral Directors Association. Though overwhelmingly popular in U.S. funerals, embalming is performed on only a fraction of the world's newly dead. Although conventional embalming and burying the dead remains the most popular choice in this country, recent years have shown a shift toward different methods to dispose of America's dead. Today, the bodies of about one-third of Americans are cremated after death, perhaps the most significant change in consumer preference. Industry experts estimate that 10,000 bodies are donated to science each year. Movements toward green burials and home funerals and burials are emerging, creating a simpler and significantly cheaper transition from life. In some cases, these emerging practices reject America's idea of a conventional funeral. For those dealing with loss, navigating the world of death care can be a daunting and expensive task. Critics say many people avoid planning for death until it happens, leading to uninformed consumers and a system susceptible to abuse. It's a problem many have faced. For one KU professor, the experience of arranging funerals for her father and two grandparents during her time of grief left her feeling so unprepared and frustrated that she devoted much of her research and writing to the topic. She now teaches a course on death and dying to help students prepare for and better understand death.

CRIME Security camera footage leads police to driver who crashed into Taco Bell - Brenna Long Police have found the vehicle and driver of the car that crashed into the Taco Bell on 23rd Street early Wednesday morning. Jason Gillam, a 20-year-old Lawrence resident, was cited for reckless driving, failure to report an accident and leaving the scene of an accident. Gillam allegedly crashed a burgundy Jeep into the north side of the restaurant at approximately 2 a.m. There were no injuries from staff members or customers at the restaurant. After the crash, the driver backed out the vehicle and drove westbound, leaving a trail of debris behind him. Using footage from security cameras, police were able to track down the car matching the model and resulting damage from the crash to the 2000 block of Clifton Court, just north of the restaurant. Elliot Metz ODD NEWS Man with body odor punches employee BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Police said a Cost Cutter store employee was punched in the mouth after he confronted a customer about his body odor. Police spokesman Mark Young told The Bellingham Herald that police went to the store after a report of a fight and found employees holding down a man. The newspaper said customers apparently complained while the man was in the store Sunday, and the employee decided to discuss it with him when he returned the next day. Young said the store employee was not going to ask him to leave the store, but only approached him to share the complaints. Young said the man snapped and threw a bunch of batteries and punched the worker, causing a minor injury. Woman lies to avoid paying hotel bills NOVATO, Calif. — A woman accused of accruing thousands of dollars in bills at a Marin County hotel while pretending to be an IRS agent has been sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay $55,000 to the hotel owners. Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco sentenced Sherry Lynn Vertoch on Tuesday. Vertoch pleaded guilty in February to impersonating a federal officer. Authorities said the woman, who is in her 60s, stopped paying her bills at the Inn Marin in Novato in 2008, telling one of the hotel's owners she was a contract worker with the IRS and wouldn't be paid until she finished an investigation for the agency. She allegedly urged the owners to write a letter to the IRS when they periodically sought payment Prosecutors had recommended probation for Vertoch over prison time.

They answered students' questions regarding interview attire, resume building and other topics. The event was hosted by the KU Alumni Association and the University Career Center. Students ask alumni about success in the real world Students had the opportunity to hear career advice from alumni during a networking session Wednesday night at the Adams Mlumn Center. About 10 students attended the event. Although the participants did not fill the 60 chairs set up in the Bruckmiller room, event coordinator Megan Hill thought the event was a great success. "It was a small group, but it allowed a lot of one-on-one attention, which is really what networking is all about," said Hill, associate director of career networks in the University Career Center. The panel consisted of four alumni: Jeff Briley, 1974 graduate and executive at CBIZ Inc. in Overland Park; Howard Cohen, 1979 graduate and auditor at Deloitte & Touche in Leawood; Wendy Rohleder-Sook, 2001 law graduate and associate dean for student affairs at the School of Law; and Charles German, 2009 graduate and financial analyst for Hallmark Cards in Lawrence. The alumni shared their career paths and then answered questions from the audience. Questions ranged from what employers looked for in resumes and how to dress for interviews to how students could the make best use of their time at the University. Briley and Cohen both suggested getting involved in leadership in extra-curricular activities, but recommended not then highlighting those experiences during the interview. "Long cover letters — people don't read them," Cohen said. "Whatever I read in the first three to four sentences is what sticks." "Ask yourself, 'if I weren't here,would I have this opportunity?' And if the answer is no,then do it." listing as many organizations as possible on a resume or cover letter. Instead they suggested getting involved in a few activities and holding leadership positions, and WENDY ROHLEDER-SOOK Associate dean in the School of Law Rohleder-Sook advised students to take advantage of all the "Ask yourself, 'If I weren't here, would I have this opportunity?'

In Lawrence, funeral directors estimate about 40 percent of families choose cremation. By integrating cremation into traditional memorial services, American funeral homes have made the practice much more commonplace. In 1963, the Catholic Church lifted its ban on cremation, likely making the practice less objectionable for many of the quarter of Americans who identify themselves as Catholic. The modern crematoria, the ovens used to burn bodies, are equipped with digital controls to manage the fires that burn at temperatures close to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit for about two hours. Once the body is reduced to a gravel-like consis remains are collected and moved to a processor, which grinds the bones into a more powdery substance. The residual matter, known as cremains in the funeral industry, is placed in an urn or a temporary container so family members can scatter the ashes. Urns are buried, placed in an above-ground mausoleum or displayed in the homes of survivors. 5 CREMATION ODDITIES: British designer Nadine Jarvis sells pencils made of human ashes. Cremains consist mostly of carbon, and one body can usually produce 240 pencils. The pencils, etched with the deceased's name, are housed in a wooden box. The box contains a sharpener and collects the sharpening fragments, making the box an urn of sorts. - Portions of cremated ashes can be flown aboard a commercial spacecraft owned by Space Services, Inc. The ashes, held in a small capsule, are released into space. The cost ranges from $12,500 to $59,985, depending on how much of the ashes are shipped into space. The remaining cremains are scattered at sea. Several companies sell cremation diamonds, created from the ashes of the dead. These jewels can be set into rings or pendants or even made into larger pieces of art. This practice is also available as a way to memorialize lost pets. Tattoo artists have created a way of infusing ink with the finely ground ashes of the dead. Because living bodies can reject the impurity of the ash fragments, health officials question the safety of the practice. LINGERING EFFECTS It was the night shift at Warren-McElwain Mortuary, 120 W. 13th St., that Zach Kastens still can't get over. The mortuary doesn't pay an hourly wage to the night attendants like some other funeral homes. Instead, two students receive free rent in their own apartment at the funeral home in exchange for being on call to retrieve bodies from homes, nursing homes and hospitals. Kastens, a senior from Atwood, took the job as a freshman, enticed by the prospect of free rent. He quickly realized that being surrounded by death was more than he could handle. For Kastens, keeping the families and the deceased at a distance proved to be too difficult. He still thinks and worries about his own death often. "It brings death to the front of your mind," he said. "It brings death to the front of your mind," he said. Seeing families being pressured to show love through spending on funerals also turned him off. Now he works as a DJ for weddings, a job that seems like the polar opposite to the funeral industry, but he sees an eerie parallel to how customers are pressured into spending. For the dead, the funeral was "this is the last thing you'll ever do for this person," he said. "And in weddings it's 'this is the most important day of your life.'" FUNERALS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) In the embalming room at Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, 601 Indiana St., Miller and Foley are covered head to toe in protective gear. They each wear thick, blue rubber gloves, non-absorbent gowns and plastic protective masks. Bodies often leak. Vomit and bile are prone to purging through the mouth. Without muscles tightly holding everything in place, feces can spill onto the table. The embalming room, behind a heavy metal door in the basement, looks more like an operating room for the living than a place to care for the dead. Each of the two adjustable tables is lined with a guttering system. They are positioned near cabinets and shelves that store sterile-looking utensils, creams and chemicals. Foley, with four years under his belt as a licensed funeral director and embalmer, has this process down to a fine art. Miller is still a student, and he's working to get his state license. But first, he tory apprenticeship. He's not allowed to embalm a body him- must complete a manda- self, but he assists wherever possible. In three years working at Rumsey-Yost, Miller has watched and participated in this process at least 100 times. With the corpse washed, the muscles loosened and the hair freshly rinsed with Head and Shoulders shampoo, the two begin the embalming process. Foley attaches plastic tubes to the incisions on the carotid and jugular. The tubes lead to the embalming machine, which holds several gallons of embalming fluid. The mixture is made of formaldehyde and contains perfumes and dyes. Without blood in the body, the skin will be pale white. The machine will pump for about 90 minutes, acting almost like a heart for the deceased's circulatory system. One tube pushes the potion into the body, where it streams through every artery, vessel, vein and capillary. The other tube drains the blood, which is dumped into the sewer system like dirty bath water. After the blood is replaced by preservative, the artery and vein are tied off, and Foley stitches the incisions closed. The wounds will later be masked by makeup and cream, leaving no evidence of the operation they've performed. Miller then grabs a trocar, a metal tool used to poke a hole near the navel. The trocar is attached to a suction tube, which draws the remaining fluid out of the cavities. It punctures each organ, releasing gas, bile and bodily fluids. No one wants a solemn funeral service interrupted by the gurgling sounds of settling gas in Grandmas tummy. Thetooththeninjectsmoreembalming fluid through the puncture site, preserving the body's innards. The puncture wound is sealed, and the body is given time to rest. Embalming bodies this way didn't become popular until well into the 20th century. Although embalming made sense to allow for time to transport bodies before the development of refrigeration and high-speed travel, environmentalists and industry watchdogs are now questioning the practicality, the high costs and the environmental effects of the tradition. Before that, the funeral and burial took place at home or church. Embalming started during the Civil War as a means of preserving and shipping the bodies of fallen Union soldiers back to their Northern homes. When a lengthy journey of a decomposing corpse ceased to be a problem, undertakers touted embalming as a safeguard for public health. Not many diseases can But scientists have since discovered that, except in the rarest cases, a dead body poses little risk to the health of the living. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now maintains that embalming has no benefit to public health. survive in a body steeped in formaldehyde. But now it's thought that emunning is actually detrimental to public health. In 2009, research from the National Cancer Institute linked embalming fluid's active ingredient, formaldehyde, which is classified as a known carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, to myeloid leukemia. The study proved what many had suspected for years: Funeral directors who embalm over an extended period of time have an increased risk of contracting cancer. Funeral directors now pay close attention to the health debate; if only because evidence suggests their work environment might be accelerating their own need for a funeral. Embalming also poses a problem for environmentalists, who can only guess what long-term effects toxic formaldehyde has on the Earth. After release of the findings, the National Funeral Directors Association updated its list of Formaldehyde Best Management Practices, which suggests increasing ventilation, limiting exposure to formaldehyde and using a less concentrated mixture of embalming fluid. "If there was a serious risk with embalming, the government wouldrift allow it," said Pam Scott, executive director of the Kansas Funeral Directors Association. Still, no federal regulations or industry-wide changes have been implemented since the research was published. The Environmental Protection Agency has yet to take a stance on embalming, but it does note that formaldehyde can cause cancer "within the respiratory or GI tract after inhalation or oral exposure." It's estimated that Americans annually bury more than 827,000 gallons of embalming fluid — enough to overflow an Olympic size swimming pool — across America's 22,500 cemeteries, along with nearly 93,000 tons of steel, copper and bronze and 30 million board feet of hardwoods from caskets. LIVING THE GREEN LIFE AND DEATH The government's inaction on the matter has caused environmental activists to create their own organization to promote more environmentally friendly ways of disposing The council has enlisted the help of 300 funeral homes across the nation to begin offering green burials that do not use embalming or other traditional but wasteful materials, such as metal caskets and granite and marble headstones. of the dead, said Joe Sebee, executive director of the nonprofit Green Burial Council. "It's really the energy that goes into all this that is most worrisome." Sefhe said. The council has created criteria for evaluating whether a cemetery is green and how green it is. Lawrence is home to Kansas' only green cemetery. It's actually a smaller, wooded section of the city-operated Oak Hill Cemetery in East Lawrence near 15th and Elmwood streets. At Oak Hill, regular burials and green burials cost the same. Each plot costs $700 in addition to a $640 to $1,100 fee for digging and covering the grave. Embalmed bodies and caskets that use metal or glues can't be buried in the green section. "We think green burial is a traditional burial," Sehee said. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust is a concept that's been with us a lot longer." Despite the amount of national press coverage, green burials in Lawrence haven't been that popular. Only three individuals have chosen to have a green burial here since it became an option in January 2009. That year, 225 bodies were buried in Lawrence's three cemeteries. Environmentalists also want to change the types of embalming fluids used. Some formaldehyde-free embalming fluids have been introduced to the market, but they're not widely used. Even crematoria, the ovens used to burn the human body into a gravel-like consistency of bones and ashes known as cremains, are being eyed for more energy-efficient upgrades. Critics decry the release of greenhouse gases and mercury from dental work that pours out of the ovens, which burn at temperatures close to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Some have suggested that morticians start removing metal dental work from the deceased before cremation. Though the release of carbon dioxide from crematoria isn't easy on the environment, experts say less overall energy is expended in cremation than in traditional burial. Nonetheless, the Green Burial Council is working to promote more energy-efficient crematoria and is looking at ways to install filters on existing crematoria. THE MEMORY PICTURE The ancient Egyptians believed the dead were capable of taking their bodies and possessions with them into the afterlife, making preservation of the earthly body a necessity. Thousands of years later, that idea is all but extinct in mainstream society. But funeral directors have still found a way to sell the value of embalming They maintain that viewing the restored, preserved body helps mourners cope with the loss. "I wonder why it's not popular in other places like it is here," said Patty Dardis, a veteran funeral director at Rumsey-Yost. Dardis said she found that when she lost loved ones, viewing the body provided closure for her, just as it does for other survivors. "Seeing is believing," she said. That's not to say that embalming is required to view the body. Most states do not require embalming except in special circumstances. In some states, including Kansas, embalming is required for interstate shipping of the body. Some funeral homes may require embalming for open-casket funerals or public viewings. But most will still allow the family a private viewing of the body even if it's not embalmed. Through restorative art, as it's called within the industry, nearly all physical imperfections of the live human body can be erased. Popularized in industry trade publications, the concept of the "memory picture" is how morticians continue to sell the art of temporary preservation. The embalmer is not only looking to preserve the body, but is also trying to create a positive last image for loved ones. No longer does Grandma look frail from months of illness. The woman who was mutilated in an automobile accident suddenly looks as if she avoided any injury at all. Even a decapitated cadaver can be altered to look whole again. This restoration, funeral directors argue, provides a positive psychological effect for grievers that can't be realized in immediate burial, direct cremation or green burial. This "memory picture" concept benefits the funeral industry financially. Not only do undertakers charge a fee — in Lawrence it ranges from $550 to $675 just for the embalming — but they make even more money on the accompanying casket and service. "Number one, once they pretty up the body, they can probably sell you a more expensive casket. So you've got to follow the dollar here," said Lisa Carlson, an outspoken critic of the funeral industry and author of the books "Caring for the Dead: Your Final Act of Love" and "I Died Laughing: Funeral Education with a Light Touch."

All prices are subject to change.* This non-declinable fee covers the funeral home's overhead, staffing and filing of paperwork. Some services, such as direct cremation, immediate burial and forwarding or receiving of remains, already include this fee. But for most services, this fee is added on to the cost of selected arrangements and merchandise. Basic services fee $1,575-$4,190 $550-$675 Embalming Embalming is rarely required by law, but some funeral homes may require it for open-casket funerals or viewings. $2,989-$3,315 Immediate burial This price does not include any type of memorial services and may or may not include a cardboard or fiberboard casket. $1,695-$3,077 Direct cremation This price does not include any type of memorial services and may or may not include a cardboard or $2,635-$4,425 Cremation with traditional funeral service fiberboard casket. S2,635-$5,985 Traditional funeral service and burial This price usually includes a visitation and a funeral service at the funeral home's chapel or a church, followed by grave-side interment. These packages usually include embalming and the basic service fee, but the casket, outer burial container and grave marker are usually not included.

In all but a handful of states, it's legal to care for the dead, hold a home funeral and even perform a burial within the privacy of your own home. In Kansas, home burial is legal, but it is subject to county regulations. Carlson argues that the funeral industry has long taken advantage of customers, who are vulnerable because of their grief. Morticians can essentially charge whatever they like for their services, creating "a system that invites abuse," she said. "People don't want to talk about it, and they don't want to think about it," said Tracey LaPierre, assistant professor of sociology and assistant research scientist in the Gerontology Center. But consumers are partially to blame. Americans shy away from planning for death, which cripples their decision-making when death and grief arrive. The loss of her father and two grandfathers back in Canada while she was a graduate student here in the U.S. sparked LaPierre's initial interest in the funeral industry. Her interest quickly turned into a passionate research topic. She's now one of the few KU professors knowledgeable in thanatology, the study of the social and psychological implications of death. She teaches the course "Sociology of Death and Dying." Her father's death in a car accident was the first death of a close family member she experienced. The tragedy left her with a list of decisions she was unprepared to make. Would he have preferred crema tion or burial? Did he want a religious ceremony? What songs would he want played at the funeral? In her class, LaPierre preaches the importance of making one's wishes known through wills, advanced directives and dialogue with family, which can help avoid these lingering questions. Open discussion and understanding of death is perhaps one of the best ways to prepare for and cope with loss. Yet she, like many people, still hasn't made her own final wishes known on paper. Ryan Waggoner/KANSM Todd Miller, who has worked at Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home for three years, is currently working on getting his funeral directors license. Before becoming a director himself, Miller must pass the state boards and complete an apprenticeship. "I'm just as susceptible as everyone else," she said. "You always think there will be more time tomorrow." The whole experience of her father's death is a blur, but she NATHANIEL BURRIS "lonestly, price wasn't an issue," she said. "We didn't even care." remembers one thing. e vehicle In retrospect, it probably wasn't a good idea to dish out thousands of dollars for a fancy casket. But at the moment, the pressure to act quickly and demonstrate her love for her father trumped reason and practicality, she said. The experience of planning a furnaler, coupled with her in-depth study, has left her a much more enlightened consumer. She suggests planning ahead and never being afraid to shop around or to leave a furnaler home that doesn't treat you well. The Funeral Consumers Alliance maintains that an abundance of funeral homes and undertakers in many states has caused an oversaturated market and higher costs for consumers. In Kansas, the Alliance estimates a need for only 99 funeral homes, but 326 funeral homes are currently in operation. "They're fighting over dead bodies in many areas." Carlson said. Lawrence is home to three funeral homes, two of which are equipped to perform cremations. About 500 people die each year in Douglas County. Even critics aren't predicting the death of the death care industry. Neither Carlson nor Sehee foresee the extinction of the traditional American funeral anytime soon. "Home schooling never put the schools out of business. Home births never put the OB/GYNs out of business. Home funerals aren't going to put the funeral directors out of business," Carlson said. "But they may have to start selling homeowners insurance on the side or refinish antiques or something." THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT The job of undertaker is a lot like a doctor - always on call. But in this business, no one is ever saved. At Rurnsey-Yost, Todd Miller and other students trade off nights sleeping in a small room on the third floor. When a nursing home, hospital or family calls, they throw on a suit and tie and quickly retrieve the dead. Miller moves the corpse onto a stretcher and covers it in a maroon velvet body bag. Overnight, the body will stay in the coolness of the basement until Foley or another embalmer arrives in the morning. Only a few feet away are the two options — the crematory and the entrance to the embalming room. Not a long journey. Local funeral home see this 24/7 service as part of their duty in serv ing bereaved families "We're always here," funeral director Patty Dardis said. "It doesn't matter if we were just sitting down to Christmas dinner." Dardis says funeral directors must find a way to separate grief and sorrow at work from the happiness of home life, just as doctors can't bring every patient's illness home with them. To the embalmers, this level of separation is also vital to their success. --for easy viewing. The elbows rest on blocks hidden under the casket lining to keep the arms from falling. The hands are set on the abdomen, one over the other. The goal is to make the body look as though it's enjoying peaceful sleep. After letting the body firm up, Foley and Miller now set out to beautify the corpse — the last step. Once the cadaver is completely sealed, the two dress the body, usually in clothes picked out by the family. Underwear, socks and a bra are all draped on the deceased. No detail is left out. The shirt, jacket or dress is cut down the back to make manipulating the stiff arms easier. The same goes for the pants. The shoes can also be if there's any trouble getting them on. The face and hands are then stained a more lifelike color. They fix the hair just as the person wore it in life and apply makeup. A lift lowers the body from the table into the casket, the head cradled by a plush pillow, tilted slightly to the right Miller says he treats every body as respectfully as if it were his own grandmother, but it's not as if he is actually caring for a living person. In the embalming room, Mr. Smith is no longer Mr. Smith. He's an object to be preserved and dressed up. Though they don't know the person in the coffin, Miller and Foley take great care in this process. This is their gift to the family, the most important result of their labor. Regardless of what critics say about embalming, cremation and the financial and environmental costs of the funeral industry, this is what a majority of grieving families choose Embalmed, buried, cremated or donated to medical science, the physical body remains the centerpiece of American death rituals. It allows the families to grieve the loss of a loved one and perhaps to catch a glimpse of what inevitably waits in the future. The truth is, this entire process isn't for the dead. In the end, the dead won't see the embalming room in the basement. They won't feel the blood being sucked out of their bodies or smell the formaldehyde as it's pushed through their veins. They won't feel the pain of sharp tools jabbing into their abdomen or the searing heat of the cremation oven. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN By the time the mourners gather, the dead are no longer present, at least not in this world. But they have left behind remains for others to mourn and remember as the body is shown, the casket is closed and the grave covered with dirt. They won't enjoy the comfort of the lush, silky mattress that lines their polished coffin. They won't see their precisely styled hair or marvel at the granite headstone over their grave. No, this process is all for the living. See a timeline of the history of caskets at kansan.com. Edited by Lauren Keith arrow used in the funeral ceremony. THE HISTORY OF EMBALMING The history of embalming goes back at least 6,000 years to ancient Egyptians, who believed that the deceased lived on in the afterlife. e th t Bodies were first preserved by dehydration in the Egyptian desert's dry heat. Complete dehydration prevents bacteria and fungi from eating away at the body. The practice evolved into an elaborate 52-day process in which the organs were removed and the body was dried, washed, and stuffed with linen before being coated in wax, oil, salt, spices and hot resin. All orifices were sealed and the body was wrapped in linen shrouds, which were often decorated. Sometimes the bandage were painted to look like the deceased's face, giving the mummy a doll-like façade. Egyptians were accompanied in death by valuables and everyday objects such as pottery, combs and jewelry, which were expected to be of practical use in the afterlife. Today, many bodies are buried with wedding rings, Bibles and other worldly trinkets. Fallen Union soldiers were embalmed, allowing the bodies to be shipped home with minimal decomposition. Perhaps it was Abe Lincoln's embalmed corpse traveling cross-country in 1865 from Washington, D.C., to Springfield, Ill., that signaled the beginning of a nationwide affection for preserving the dead. Embalming was practiced intermittently in Europe during times of war to preserve the bodies of fallen soldiers. But it wasn't until the Civil War that widespread use of the practice began. Still, until the early 1900s, most Americans cared for, memorialized and buried their own dead at their homes or churches. At about that time, furniture merchants began making coffins to capitalize on the emerging funeral business. The trade of mortician existed as part-time, supplementary work in the United States until the widespread popularity of embalming necessitated full-time tradesmen to complete the work. That was the beginning of the American funeral home. DONATING THE DEAD About 225 bodies are donated each year through the Willed Body Program at the KU Medical Center, the only body donation program in Kansas. Funeral homes charge to transport donated bodies to the Med Center in Kansas City, Kan. In Lawrence it can cost as much as $1,275. But families wishing to bequeath a body to science don't have to involve funeral homes at all. In Kansas, it's perfectly legal for family members to transport the dead on their own. Amy Deneke, one of two anatomical morticians for the program, said people have driven dead family members to Kansas City from as far away as the Kansas-Colorado border to avoid funeral costs. Once a body arrives, it's shaved and tagged before being embalmed — a much more labor-intensive process than at funeral homes. Staff members place the body into a steel tank filled with water and run embalming fluid lines into the body for two to three days. Unlike funeral home embalming, no blood is removed from the cadaver. This one-way flow of fluids causes the body to gain additional weight sometimes as much as 30 pounds. A saw cuts through the skull so the brain can be removed for closer study. The cadaver is then placed in a large plastic bag and set on a metal rack for several months to cure and dry. After curing, the bodies are sent to colleges and universities to be used in biology, physiology and anatomy classes and labs. After the schools have finished their work, the bodies are sent back to the Med Center, which has its own crematory. Each body is tracked throughout the entire process, so cremated remains can be returned to surviving family members.

Usually, the least expensive and most simple casket models, such as those made of fiberboard or cardboard, are not on display in funeral home showrooms. Several models of wood caskets are designed specifically for cremation. Most funeral homes also offer a rental casket for a few hundred dollars that can be used before cremation or direct burial of the body. Retailers such as Walmart and Costco have begun to sell discounted caskets online. By law, funeral homes cannot turn away caskets bought or made elsewhere.

HARASSMENT! POOLLE Blaise Marcoux ENTERTAINMENT Jackson's legacy to live on in Vegas MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson's estate and Cirque du Soleil will collaborate on a series of projects designed to extend the late pop star's legacy across several different media, chief among them a reality TV show tied to a concert-style touring production and a permanent show in Las Vegas akin to existing Cirque productions built around the music of the Beatles and Elvis Presley. The parties say that the collaboration recognizes Jackson's longtime fascination with Cirque's signature blend of music, dance and theatrical spectacle. "We went to the very first Cirque du Soleil tent show opening in Santa Monica," John Branca, co-executor of Jackson's estate, said Tuesday. "It was in the late 80s, and I'll never forget it ... (We) drove to Santa Monica together — no bodyguards — and we sat there in the front row. Michael was dazzled, and we went backstage after the show because he wanted to meet all the performers. It was a very passionate evening." The reality show, intended to air early next year, would be along the lines of "American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars," created as a platform for discovering a choreographer to help develop the touring and permanent shows built on Jackson's music, dancing and life story. Budding dance enthusiasts from across the globe would audition in the search for 'someone young, who is cutting edge, from the outside, from the streets, who can bring that style that no one's ever seen before, like Michael always did," Branca said. The Cirque deal is yet another step in an aggressive series of grand-scale projects Jackson's estate has undertaken in recent months. Among them are the concert film and DVD "This Is It," featuring rehearsal footage for a planned London concert series from shortly before his death last June; and a new long-term contract with Sony Music, said to be worth as much as $250 million, covering reissues as The cross-platform philosophy will be central to what Jackson's estate and Cirque creators are constructing as a way to ensure the King of Pop's legend lives on. tines on a par with what Jackson employed on his own tours. The plan is to hire two professionals and then, through the reality show, find the third. The winner will join the team assembling the arena tour and the permanent show, which Lamarre said "will be very, very different." "As Michael Jackson was ahead of his time, we have to be ahead of our time with this show." "One thing is clear for us," Cirque President and CEO Daniel Lamarre said Tuesday. "As Michael Jackson was ahead of his time, we have to be ahead of our time with this show. We have to use all the technology there is, and develop new technologies with those two shows to create a breakthrough as Michael did when he was touring. The pressure is very, very big on us to deliver on his fans' expectations." The idea for the TV show, which is still in the discussion stage, grew out of the planning for the arena tour and the permanent show in Vegas. The partners in the venture plan to hire three choreographers with the goal of creating dance rou Among the media and technologies that Branca predicts will be featured in the show, which will open at one of MGM Mirage's DANIEL LAMARRE CEO, Cirque du Soleil existing properties include "such things as 3-D, holograms and Television industry analyst Brad Adgate said Tuesday that the deal, while impressive, was not without its perils. "It's a very bold plan certainly very aggressive. It seems like this could work on a lot of different platforms, but if the first step is a misfire, the whole thing could go down in flames." But Jackson's music, which remains a hot seller, will provide a measure of insurance. John McClain, Branca's co-executor of the state, "will supervise remixes and mash-ups of various recordings so that fans will experience Michael's music in new ways," Branca said. "In addition, it's very possible that (previously) unreleased recordings could find their way into this show. That will be a creative decision everybody will be making."

New film won't be J.Lo's comeback LOS ANGELES — Jennifer Lopez doesn't see her new film "The Back-up Plan" as a comeback. Although she took a break from films after the 2007 release "El Cantante," Lopez continued to work on her music, producing TV and film projects, and she gave birth to twins. In the film, Lopez plays a single woman who wants a baby so much she decides to get artificially inseminated. She then meets the man of her dreams, played by Alex O'Loughlin. There was nothing significant about her return to acting — Lopez just felt it was the right time. But knowing she was going before the cameras did motivate her to stick to the diet and exercise regimens she started after the babies were born. She opted for a romantic comedy because she's had success in the genre with "The Wedding Planner,""Maid in Manhattan" and "Monster-in-Law." The key to a good romantic comedy, says Lopez, is playing the role as real as possible. "When you do that, it's funnier and you really get the emotional beats," Lopez says. "I do that whether it's a drama or a comedy. But with a comedy I just have a little more fun."

Although being recognized among the top public and private four-year colleges in the country is an honor, it should not be an excuse for the University to become complacent about keeping educational costs low. The University's Endowment Association ranks among the oldest and most generous endowments per student within the public university category. It is worth more than $1 billion and provides almost $35 million in student scholarships and loans each year. Although these are big numbers, they are a bit deceiving: Only 66 percent are actual scholarships or grants. The rest act as loans or jobs provided by the University. The Princeton Review evaluated student opinion surveys and information provided by more than 650 private and public institutions to rank Americas colleges. The main factors considered included financial aid, costs and undergraduate academics. According to The College Board, a non-profit tool for prospective students, on average, 3,503 KU freshmen apply for need-based aid. Only 330 of these applicants actually get their full needs met by the University. It is understandable that not everyone can receive financial help In 2007, the University took a step in the right direction in ensuring consistent tuition fees by introducing the Four-Year Tuition Compact. This provides students and their families with a fixed tuition rate for four years of study. Although this program definitely helps students and families plan for the future, tuition fees still go up with each new class that enters the University. Incoming freshmen who come from out of state see the unfortunate steady increase in tuition annually. In order to compensate for the tuition compact, semester rates for nonresidents have gone up an average $630 since the compact was instated. The University recently introduced a scholarship for out of state students who are children or grandchildren of KU alums, called the Jayhawk Generation Scholarship. This offers a 12 to 20 percent discount for out-of-state tuition. This scholarship is a great way to make an education at the University more accessible to students who are non-Kansas residents. Although tuition has risen throughout the years, it cannot be ignored that the University does provide a great sense of quality in all of our diverse academic areas. Whether in our business department or education, engineering, journalism or music programs, we do have value on our side. Even though the University of Kansas is being recognized for its quality and affordability of education, a four-year degree shouldn't bury the average student in debt. The University should keep up with its current aid. Although being ranked as one of the best values in the country is an honor, the real prize is the University's ability to attract students, regardless of their financial needs.

The planet is warming and human activity is part of the problem. The scientific consensus has spurned commendable efforts by both individuals and organizations to reduce their "carbon footprint." Although the University received a disappointing C+ on its College Sustainability Report Card, it earned praise in critical categories such as student involvement, investment priorities and recycling efforts. The University's Center for Sustainability underscores our commitment to eco-friendiness. First, a disclaimer: efforts by multinational corporations such as Coca-Cola — the sponsor of the "Give it Back" campaign — aren't to be discounted. It's far better to have big business undertake initiatives to promote green consciousness than to flagrantly ignore the need to foster more environmentally sustainable ways of living. In light of today's Earth Day festivities, it's worth examining what other green measures we ought to undertake. These efforts must start at the individual level. But there is a caveat. As helpful as corporate measures are, they're largely a manifestation of what I'll call the "Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Culture." This movement is a side dish at the larger consumerist feast, garnished with a dash of feel good. Take carbon offsets, for instance. A controversial issue within the environmentalist community, offsets allow an individual or a corporation to pump plentiful amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere — provided they cough up enough money to "offset" their pollution by, say, planting a few trees in the deforested Amazon. The Observer BY LUKE BRINKER lbrinker@kansan.com In short we really, truly, honestly feel gosh darn awful about global warming. We just don't want to radically rethink our lifestyles. As much as we recognize that our current habits of consumption are exacerbating the planetary crisis — and as surely as we know that solving climate change will demand much more sacrifice than we've shown thus far — we've yet to see a social commitment to taking bold steps. This age of Chevy Tahoe hybrids calls to mind St. Augustine's oft-cited prayer: "Lord, make me chaste — but not yet." Lord, make us carbon-neutral — but not yet. This depressing reality makes the arrival of Heather Rogers's new book, "Green Gone Wrong: How Our Economy is Undermining the Environmental Revolution," all the more important. Rogers, an investigative journalist, proposes a rather wild-eyed solution: Stop consuming so much. Sure, you deserve a pat on the back for choosing to recycle that empty bottle of Dasani. But when you're gulping down five a day, you're exacerbating a larger problem. That plastic had to be manufactured in an energy-intensive process. Without even taking into account the health risks associated with BPA, it's clear that the canteen water bottle is a smarter choice. And that 50-m.p.g. Prius? Kudos! But it is worth starting that admittedly fuel sipping engine for a trip of merely two miles? Seventy percent of a car's emissions come from simply starting the engine. Solving a problem of the magnitude of climate change isn't possible with half-hearted, pain-free measures. As we mark 40 years since the inaugural Earth Day, it's important that we adhere to its basic principles. Saving the planet isn't a matter of trend, setting or public relations boosting. It's a moral obligation. So by all means, keep up that recycling habit. But is it too much to ask that you make sure you have less to actually recycle?

MEDIA ISSUES Cultural collision Despite it lish here — ban immigration" signs prevalent throughout numerous Tea Party rallies of recent months, Americans are coming into contact with other cultures at an increasing rate, whether they like it or not. This "exposure" could come from the French section of the instruction manual for the electrical blanket that Grandma gave as a Christmas gift, ordering a "taco" from Taco Bueno or even listening to Christopher Waltz's German in "inglourious Basterds." (Sadly, watching "Lopez Tonight" does not count as foreign cultural exposure, despite the comedian's repeated use of "guido" — although he is bringing the party back to late night, thanks to TBS.) In all seriousness, students should take advantage of the opportunities available on our campus to learn, or at least introduce, a foreign language into their studies. Some majors have minimum foreign language requirements. For example, to graduate with a journalism degree a student must complete four semesters of a language. When I first heard about this requirement, I'll admit I wasn't exactly thrilled. Although I came to the University with two years of high school Spanish on my transcript, I knew I would be required to take several language classes. Despite the fact that I remembered little more from my high school class than the present tense of "hablar," I decided to put aside any doubts on the first day of Spanish 111 and see where the class would lead me. The results have been gratifying, to say the least. In just a few weeks, I will be on a plane bound for Costa Rica. This trip is an attempt to strengthen my Spanish skills, a language that I have unexpectedly come to enjoy. It's true that some people may have no desire to learn another language, but if a recent article in the Spanish magazine "El País" gives any indication, cases such as these seem to be fading quickly. The article explains there are even more people in the U.S. who speak Spanish than in Spain. What's more, the article estimates that by 2050, there will be more That Guy BY TRENT BOULTINGHOUSE Fortunately, the University takes a lot of steps to make studying abroad possible for students. For example, with my program through the Office of Study Abroad, every person accepted received at least a $500 scholarship, regardless of need or merit. It's true that foreign language classes can be more challenging than some other courses. But it's also obvious what will be more rewarding in the long run. Being able to communicate with a German speaker at a restaurant, for example, should have greater value than knowing the right answer to a multiple-choice question that will be soon forgotten. My experience with University faculty familiar with the program has been beneficial and productive. The program coordinators practically guarantee that students will not leave the country with any questions unanswered. There's always the benefit of padding a resume with a language skill. More importantly, however, is the personal benefit of being able to communicate and connect with people from around the world. True; conversations in other tongues can be just as boring, mundane or pointless as those in English. But the beauty of a foreign language is that a conversation that is boring by our standards instantly becomes exciting when you experience the satisfaction of being able to translate it. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I understand Spanish, regardless of the dialogue's depth. If more students explored something different and out of their comfort zone, America could be a little more cultured than Taco Bueno, Panda Express and Runza.

There is no pride in dodging the draft LETTER TO THE EDITOR I opened my paper on the morning of April 20 and read in mild disgust the portion of the paper dedicated to Vietnam-era stories of men who dodged the draft. As citizens it is our obligation to rise and fight for our country when necessary. Now, make no mistake — I have my own opinions about the Vietnam War and the absolute failure of our leadership to lead us to a path of clear victory there. However, the idea that dodging the draft is something you should spread around, like a story about the good old times, or that it's in any way something to be proud of, is abhorrent. It is not something to brag about when you try and avoid military service by acting like a schizophrenic, deliberately breaking your bones, or pretending to be a homosexual, which is even more despicable considering the injustices many gay people willingly inflict upon themselves when they voluntarily serve their nation. When I was 19 and lacked direction after high school, I decided to enlist in the military. In what is thus far the greatest regret of my life, I was given an entry-level separation in the first week due to medical complications. I would give my right arm to be able to enlist. But barring the acquirement of incredible medical waivers that opportunity has most certainly passed me by. Serving our country is a privilege, and at times our duty. Stories like these should not be celebrated but discouraged. While reading this I can only think of the parents whose children did not come home, the men left scarred and permanently disfigured. Shame on those draft dodgers. — Jeremy Adkison is a junior from Leavenworth. HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to opinionakansan.com.

Informational posters hang from all sides of the tent. Brochures that say women, God, hijab and Ramadan cover the desks. The Muslim Student Association will host the second day of its Islam Awareness Day exhibition on the lawn of Staufer-Flint Hall today. The event showcases different foods, customs and traditions, such as the Hijab veil, the scarf that some Muslim women use to cover their hair. MSA initiated the event to allow students to ask questions and have conversations about Islam. "It is an MSA activity that brings Muslims together to raise awareness about Islam," Bader Madoukh, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said. "We have all these brochures about various aspects of Islam, about terrorism, about women and some translations of the Holy Book in English." Tanseem Daud, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., and Reem Stewart, a freshman from Leavenworth, were at the front of the tent demonstrating how women wrap the veil around their hair. Also at the event was Islamic scholar Hassan Aly, an Imam of the Islamic Center of Kansas and teacher of Arabic language at Alrawdah Institute in Overland Park. In addition to answering questions students had about his religion, he advised people to clarify the truth through the news they listened to specifically that not all Muslims are extremists. Muhammad Ibrahim Basit, a sophomore from Islamabad, Pakistan, said people commonly ask about marriage, divorce and money. "This is just for the awareness of Islam in America," he said. "There are a lot of misconceptions about Islam." Karim Farokhnia, a freshman from Shiraz, Iran said the event was designed to promote accurate information about Islam. "We're trying to show the reality," Farokhnia said. "There is some propaganda especially after 9/11, which I'm sure that none of the Muslim people agree with.

NATIONAL Gay couple, wed in Massachusetts, asks Texas court for divorce BY JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press DALLAS — A lawyer for a Dallas man trying to divorce the man he married in Massachusetts told a Texas appeals court Wednesday that his client is entitled to a divorce because he had a valid marriage. But the Texas Attorney Generals' Office argued before the three- judge panel that the marriage isn't recognized by Texas, so they cannot get a divorce. Jimmy Blacklock, an assistant Texas solicitor general, said the men's union can only be voided. "The parties lack standing to file a divorce case because they're not married," he said. The Dallas men wed in 2006 in Massachusetts, where gay marriage is legal, and separated two years later. Attorney General Greg Abbott appealed a Dallas state district judge's ruling in October that granted a divorce to the men and said the state's same-sex marriage ban violates equal rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Abbott is also appealing an Austin judge's ruling this spring that granted a divorce to two women married in Massachusetts "He is not seeking to enter into a same-sex marriage; he's seeking to end a marriage that was valid." Jody Scheske, who represents the Dallas man listed in court records only as J.B., said his client doesn't want to overturn the state's marriage ban, but only wants to end his own marriage. Scheske said. "The trial courts have the right to hear divorce cases from people who have valid marriages," he said. Blacklock told the judges that the state's ban on gay marriage doesn't violate the Constitution and asked them to confirm that voidance is the correct way to dissolve a same-sex union. Scheske said voidance isn't applicable to his client because he has a valid marriage. And, he said, the constitutional issues only arose in the case after Abbott tried to intervene. The judge did not allow the intervention, so Abbott appealed. In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state to let same-sex couples get married. Now four other states and the District of Columbia also allow them. 40TH ANNIVERSARY EARTH DAY free t-shirt Purchase any two 20 oz. bottled Coca-Cola products and get an Earth Day Limited Edition T-shirt—free!

The University is the only institution in Kansas to receive the title this year. More than 650 public and private colleges completed the surveys used to determine the winners. The surveys covered a variety of areas including academics, costs, financial aid, class sizes and professors' accessibility. Here's a look into the survey and the University's responses. TUITION Although out of state tuition is nearly double that of in-state tuition, the University is still known to be one of the more affordable universities in the Midwest. A full-time undergraduate non-resident student will pay $17,250 for the academic year, while a resident student will pay $6,567. According to The Princeton Review, the University charges lower tuition than all but four of the 34 public institutions in the Association of American Universities. The University recently instituted programs to offer some students a decreased tuition. The lajhawk Generations scholarship, which can be applied in Fall 2010, offers up to 20 percent off out-of-state tuition to children whose parents or grandparents are University alumni. Jill Jess, with University Relations, said the four-year tuition compact, which was introduced in 2007, contributed to the University earning the title. The compact states that when a student enters the University as a freshman, the student will pay a fixed tuition rate for four years. "The Princeton Review specifically mentions that the tuition compact helps protect students and their families from sudden tuition hikes," Jess said. "Families are able to plan for the cost of an entire four-year education." FINANCIAL AID In addition to a low or fixed tuition, the University offers financial aid to many students to help them throughout their educational career. Rosita McCoy, a KU Endowment affiliate, said more than 6,500 students received scholarships and loans from KU Endowment in the 2009 fiscal year. "We have funded, in whole or in part, more than two-thirds of campus buildings and more than 85 percent of KU's land," McCoy said. She said KU Endowment had provided $1.6 billion to the University. Although the United States suffered a significant economic downturn, KU alumni and donors set a record in contributions in 2009 at $106.4 million in gifts and pledges and another $9.4 million in deferred gifts. McCoy said that the generosity of KU alumni was directly linked to the Jayaawk tradition. "Many donors believe their KU degrees transformed their lives," McCoy said. "They give out of a desire to make sure others have the same opportunities they had." The subtotal of grants, scholarships and work-study loans given in 2009 was more than $58 million. ADDITIONAL COST Students pay an $850 campus fee each academic year. The fee includes payment toward student health, campus transportation and the student union buildings, among PRINCETON REVIEW'S TOP 10 "BEST VALUE" PUBLIC COLLEGES BEST VALUE* PUBLIC COLLEGES 1.

Earlier, Zagel turned down a request from Blagojevich's brother, businessman Robert Blagojevich, to be tried separately. Robert Blagojevich's lawyer, Michael E. Ettinger, had argued that the evidence against the former governor could "spill over" and bias jurors against his client.

Capone Almon, 35, had more than 1,600 "friends" on Facebook last year when she saw one of them. Carlos Sanchez, post a status update saying his friends and relatives had all been tested and couldn't donate a kidney. She knew him casually through activities and friends in the New Haven suburb of East Haven, but they weren't so close that she had heard he was ill. Sanchez, a 44-year-old father whose kidneys were failing because of diabetes, sent out the request on Facebook only hesitantly and on his doctor's suggestion. He worried people might pity him — and certainly hadn't pinned his hopes on finding a donor that way. and just said, "Hey, I'll try. I'll get tested," Capone Almon said Wednesday. "I really felt from the very beginning that I was going to "I thought she was joking. The mayor of East Haven would offer me her kidney?" He didn't have long to wait.

The mayor of East Haven would offer me, her "I wasn't putting too much faith in it," he said. "I didn't want to get my hopes high. But at a point she made me feel so comfortable that I started feeling maybe this was meant to be." Capone Almon, a Democrat, was running for second term as mayor at the time but kept the details of her medical plans a secret. She won the election as they awaited word on when she could donate the kidney, saying they grew as close as family during the lull. "I know he voted for me, too" she ioked. The operation was set only after Capone Almon passed a battery of tests and was given a long explanation of the process, which involved three small incisions near her ribcage and a scar similar to that of a cesarean section.

"I remember saying, 'Wow, that's really something. I wonder if she's really thought through the fact that it might actually be a match," said Lawlor, the area's state representative to the General Assembly. Capone Almon said that she fields questions almost daily from people asking whether she's worried her one remaining kidney might someday fail, but that she's confident enough in modern medicine and her own health — especially after the numerous tests — that she barely gives it a thought. Michael Lawlor, an East Haven attorney and longtime friend of Capone Almon's, said she kept the details of her plans private for a long time, even as he and others quizzed her to ensure she recognized the serious nature of the donation.

Taylor stuck out eight batters in just over five innings, giving up two hits. The RBI single by catcher James Stansfield in the second inning was the only run of the game, which had an announced attendance of 2,294. Weston White/KANSAN Freshman pitcher shuts the Tigers' offense down Taylor, who grew up in the Kansas City area and went to Blue Valley West High School, was sharp right from the time he stepped on the mound — quickly striking out the side in the first inning. Price said Taylor's strong first inning was a sign that the youngster was feeding off the adrenaline of playing at Kauffman. BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com twitter/bm/dub PAGE 1B as they watched third strikes pop into Stanfield's mitt. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Forget the storied and bitter rivalry. If only for a fleeting moment, the night belonged to freshman pitcher Thomas Taylor. After he was spotted a 1-0 lead on an RBI single by sophomore catcher James Stanfield in the second, Taylor trotted back out to the mound and quickly sent two more Tigers back to the dugout "I think one of the good things about coming here is, you pitch a young man from Overland Park who's grown up a Royals fan; you can't walk into a better environment. You dream about this your whole life and you can be pretty jacked," coach Price said. "He's right on the verge of being an impact guy, and that's what we expected him to be when we recruited him," coach Ritch Price said. In his first start against a Big 12 opponent — and in the Border Showdown no less — Taylor's stellar performance led Kansas (24-14-1, 5-6-1) to a slim 1-0 victory over Missouri. Taylor pitched a scoreless third, but looked to be in a bit of trouble in the fourth after surrendering a one-out double. No problem. Taylor overpowered the next two batters with his sixth and seventh strikeouts of the evening. Taylor dominated against Missouri at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday, turning in an outing worthy of the Major League stage. As he walked back to the dugout, Taylor gave a small fist pump, which Price said is as much emotion as he ever shows. With the layhawk bats silenced by the 'Tigers' pitchers, Taylor cruised through the fifth, getting the first two outs before being taken out of the game to keep his arm rested enough to pitch this Taylor ended up throwing five and two-thirds innings with eight strikeouts, and allowed only two hits. He walked none. weekend. "I told Thomas, 'I'd like to see that guy pitch every time,' junior left fielder Jimmy Waters said. Earlier this season, Kansas' bullpen had made a habit of allowing teams to climb back into games, but built off of Taylor's success, and it protected the 1-0 lead. "Two weeks ago we wouldn't have won this game, we would have found a way to lose it," Waters said. "So that says a lot about our bullpen." Junior Wally Marciel pitched the next one and one-third innings before turning the ball over to senior Travis Blankenship — another local and avid Royals fan. Blankenship worked a scoreless eighth, and came out for the ninth, where he fell behind to the Missouri's leadoff hitter and top slugger, Aaron Senne, three balls and no strikes. But Blankenship fired the next two pitches in the strike zone before elevating his next pitch with a fastball, which Senne feebly swung at and missed.

Well, he insists he's not that excited. Entering the draft, which begins tonight and runs through Saturday, Stuckey is taking a nonchalant approach to the festivities. After all, his draft position is out of his hands at this point. Not surprising, though, are Stuckey's plans for watching the draft: He'll be in Lawrence playing Rock Band and other video games. Senior strong safety Darrell Stuckey catches the open kickoff. Stuckey returned the kick 20 yards in Kansas 49-3 win against Northern Colorado. Stuckey is predicted to not as a mid-round selection in this season's draft, effectively fulfilling his childhood dream to play in the NFL.

Once the draft is completed and the dust settles, Stuckey said he might celebrate by going bowling.

DRAFT SCHEDULE Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO "I'm really not a party-party type of guy," he said. A starting safety and captain on last season's team, Stuckey is predicted by various mock drafts to be a mid-round selection. He's expected to join teammate and wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, another likely midround pick, as former Jayhawks selected in this year's draft. Wide receiver Kerry Meier and quarterback Todd Reeing are considered longer shots to hear their names called. Stuckey's dream of reaching the NFL started when he was still a young player back in Kansas City, Kan. After starring at Washington High School, Stuckey accepted a scholarship offer from Kansas. His dream of making the NFL, remained etched in the back of Yet Stuckey, who recorded 294 career tackles, developed into one of Kansas' most consistent defenders. As a junior, he picked off five passes while being named to the All-Big 12 First Team. "I was a long ways away from that when I first got here," Stuckey said. "Coming from Kansas City, his mind, even when his on-field play didn't indicate as much early in his career. Kan., I wasn't fundamentally sound. I was very raw, I couldn't even back peddle like I wanted to." SEE DRAFT ON PAGE 8B COMMENTARY To predict season, look to returning players BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com Of course super-recruit Selby's commitment to Kansas has inspired a lot of optimistic speculation. I don't know how good new basketball recruit Josh Selby will be at Kansas. And if I'm being honest, I'm not particularly interested in the matter either. Of course, for all of that rosy-cheeked optimism, there must be a more realistic perspective. Sure, Selby could be John Wall. He could dominate from the get go and lead Will he do for Kansas what John Wall did for Kentucky? Can he be that kind of standout point guard, taking over games and filling Sherron Collins' shoes so well that the senior will hardly be missed? Will Kansas still be a national championship contender, even after losing two first round player plays? Kansas to a 1-seed (and maybe even a deeper tournament run than either the Jayhawks or Wildcats managed this past season). But he could also be Avery Bradley, the Texas point guard I am a man of great integrity and love. I have a deep passion for music and travel. I am a lifelong learner, always seeking to improve my skills and knowledge. I am a person who is committed to living a life of integrity and beauty. Selby who was rated by some services as a better recruit than Wall. Bradley had a decent enough year, but he and his Longhorns ultimately fell well short of expectations. What does this mean for Selby? It means you, me and everyone else have no clue how he's going to affect Kansas' team. There simply is not enough evidence to form an opinion. Selby is a stud recruit. Stud recruits are sometimes stud players. But some times — if not as frequently — they are disappointments. There is no way to surmise what Selby will do at Kansas this early. Instead, Kansas fans should speculate about players they've actually seen. How about his twin, Markieff? The other Morris didn't put up as gaudy of numbers — but then he was playing behind Cole Aldrich, former center. With Aldrich off to the NBA, Markieff should get to play more minutes. For example, we might look at Marcus Morris' remarkable improvement from his freshman to sophomore season. His evolution took him from a frustrating role-player to perhaps Kansas' most consistent contributor. Given another year of seasoning, how much better might Marcus get? Will Brady Morningstar rediscover his three-point range? Perhaps Tyrel Reed will continue the upward tick he ended the season with, and he could give Kansas a dynamic perimeter scorer. And speaking of dynamic perimeter players, what about Elijah Johnson? He was a five-star recruit only a year ago, and he showed flashes of ability in his limited court time. Even disregarding Selby, the back-court brings plenty to speculate on. These are all players Kansas fans have seen enough of to form an educated opinion, so they're also players about whom speculation can be based on something more tangible than star ratings and high school all-star games If you absolutely must try and predict college basketball outcomes in April, do so based on who is coming back, not who is arriving. Realize that, at least for now, Selby is not a savior.

I don't really follow the NBA that much. Growing up in Kansas, my life has always been about college basketball. Living in an area without an NBA team in close proximity, I've never really been able to latch onto a team and follow them all season long. The one time of the year I can get excited about the NBA, though, is during the playoffs. It's fun to watch some of the big-time superstars — Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Howard — match up against each other with so much on the line. But if I'm not watching Kobe or LeBron take shots to win games then I'm paying attention to what former Jayhawks are doing on the big stage. WHO TO WATCH Paul Pierce, Boston Celtics A. S. R. S. R. S.

Moments after the 33-0 Holiday Bowl victory, Pelli shouted, "Nebraska's back and we're here to stay!" Four months later, Pelini isn't backtracking. "Even though we haven't won anything yet, haven't won a championship, I felt we're at that point where we can compete with anybody," Pelini said this week as spring practices wind down. "Does that mean we're going to beat anybody? No, you have to earn it. I just felt week in and week out there isn't anybody they can throw at us that we don't have the opportunity to beat." "I'm glad to see Nebraska is back now because we needed that," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "When I got here, Nebraska, Kansas State and Colorado were the three strongest teams in the league. I feel the North is coming back now, Nebraska and Texas again will be favored to win the North and South divisions. and we're about to be one of the better conferences in the country at the top end." Missouri should be strong now that quarterback Blaine Gabbert is healthy. If Kansas State finds a quarterback and solidities its defense, coach Bill Snyder can continue the progress started with the 6-6 campaign in his first year back with the Wildcats. Texas? The Longhorns always expect to be in the national title hunt, and that doesn't change with Garrett Gilbert taking over for Colt McCoy at quarterback Oklahoma hopes to bounce back from its injury-decimated season with quarterback Landry Jones leading the way while the defense adjusts to the loss of star lineman Gerald McCoy. The biggest change in the league is at Texas Tech, where new coach Tommy Tuberville is tweaking Mike Leach's all pass all the time offense to include more running. Nebraska is coming off its first 10-win season since 2003, but any celebration was tempered by the outcome of the Big 12 title game. Texas won 13-12 on a field goal as time ran out. Tight end Dreu Young said that loss fueled him and his teammates in spring practice. "No one talks about it out wardly, but you think about it all the time," Young said. "You think, 'What if I had taken a better step? What if I blocked just a second longer?' That stuff goes through everybody's mind."

Green was steady, but Martinez was most impressive. Pelini said the competition could extend past the Sept. 4 opener against Western Kentucky.

"Honestly, I've always been a lajayhawk fan. I'd say they're probably the best team in college basketball to watch." During the 2009-10 season, Peters led the Lions to a 35-3 record including a 5A State Championship while averaging 15.3 points and nine rebounds per game. Tim Peters, Zach's father, said most people in his hometown thought his son would pick Texas. But Zach saw Kansas play Colorado years ago and has been a fan ever since. "It's been three long years," Tim said of the decision making process. Zach started visiting a list of 10 schools in eighth grade, including Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Texas. Peters is the first player to commit in the 2012 class. The only other time coach Bill Self had a verbal commitment from a sophomore was from 2010 recruit Royce Woolridge. "None of them compared to Kansas," he said. "I think there's no better environment in college basketball or the loudest." The main selling point for Peters was Self and assistant coach Danny Manning. "They're two coaches I really feel I can trust and know what's best for me," Peters said.

The settlement includes a confidentiality agreement preventing either side from discussing the case. Settlement documents in New Era Sports and Entertainment co-founder Lloyd Lake's civil suit against Bush, his mother Denise Griffin and his stepfather LaMarr Griffin are expected to be placed in San Diego Superior Court today or Friday. The court was closed Wednesday. Bush, in reaching the settlement, avoids having to be questioned under oath about a scandal that could result in the Trojans vacating the 2004 national championship, forfeiting victories in the 2005 season and Bush being stripped of the 2005 Heisman. The settlement also clears the way for the NCAA to issue a ruling in its three-year investigation of the USC football and basketball programs. Lake's attorneys declined comment Wednesday. Bush attorneys could not be reached. A ruling from the NCAA could come as early as next week in a probe that has not only looked at the Bush case, but probed Trojans tailback Joe McKnight's relationship with a sports marketer whose SUV McKnight was driving, and allegations that USC basketball star OJ. Mayo received gifts and cash from a representative of a sports agent and then-Trojans coach Tim Flovd. NCAA investigators had hoped to review transcripts of sworn depositions from Bush and Michael Michaels, the financial backer behind New Era Sports and Entertainment, in the Lake lawsuit scheduled for this week before issuing a ruling on the USC case. Michaels had been prevented from being interviewed by NCAA investigators because of a confidentiality agreement that was part of an out-of-court settlement in his lawsuit against Bush. But San Diego Superior Court Judge Steven R. Denton last week ordered Michaels to be deposed Wednesday. Denton also cleared the way for Bush to be deposed Friday. Bush's deposition would have been the only time the Trojans All-American was questioned about his relationship with Lake and Michaels under oath and under the penalty of perjury. The Bush and Michaels depositions could have given NCAA investigators a clearer picture of when Bush and his family began receiving benefits from Lake and Michaels in violation of NCAA rules. The exact date could be important in determining how many games USC will have to forfeit. If you can dodge a wrench...

Spencer Walsh/KANSAN MLB Mariners sweep Orioles in Seattle SEATTLE — Mariners ace Felix Hernandez threw the eighth complete-game of his career, limiting Baltimore to a lone unearned run, and Jack Wilson provided a decisive three-run double as Seattle kept the Orioles reeling with a 4-1 win on Wednesday night. Seattle completed the three-game sweep of the Orioles, who dropped to 2-14 and continued the worst start for the franchise since losing their first 21 games in 1988 to set a major league record. Hernadez (2-0) wasn't his sharpest, but didn't need to be against the Orioles despite Kevin Millwood throwing a complete game for Baltimore in the loss. Hernandez allowed nine singles and didn't walk a batter. Wilson's two-out hit was his fourth double in the last three games, and the three RBIs matched his season total entering the game. While Wilson got the big hit, the hustle of Matt Tuiasosopo kept the inning alive. Tuiasosopo singled off Millwood (0-3) with two outs to load the bases as Jose Lopez wisely was held at third base. Rob Johnson, who had Seattle's first hit off Millwood, chopped a grounder back up the middle that was cut off near the outfield grass by second baseman Justin Turner. Instead of trying a difficult throw across his body to try and get Johnson, Turner made an underhand flip to shortstop Cesar Izturis covering second.

Neither team did much in the extra innings until Marco Scutart singled with one out in the 12th and alertly tagged up on a medium deep flyout to center, sliding in barely under second baseman Joaquin Arias' tag. After Dustin Pedroia was intentionally walked, Youkilis delivered against Dustin Nippert (1-2). Texas was successful on all three steal attempts after swiping a team-record nine on Tuesday night. The Rangers are 30 for 30 over the past two seasons against the Red Sox. Boston's catchers have thrown out just one of 34 runners overall who have tried to steal this year. Hideki Okajima (2-1) pitched one hitless inning for the win. A big cheer went up from the Fenway Park crowd that was left in the middle of Michael Young's at bat when the Boston Bruins won their NHL playoff game in double overtime. The Red Sox wrapped up their extra-inning win about eight minutes later. McDonald was selected from Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday and became an instant hit that night. He tied the game with a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the eighth and won it in the ninth with a bases-loaded single off the left field wall. Down 7-4 in the seventh against Boston ace Josh Beckett, Hamilton homered deep into the centerfield bleachers. Beckett struggled with his control and was tagged for seven runs on six hits in seven innings. He walked five and struck out four. Texas led 4-0 after two innings — the Rangers wasted a 6-1 lead in Tuesday's loss. Boston moved ahead 5-4 in the third when Drew lofted a fly ball down the right field line that hooked around the foul pole into the second row of seats for his fifth career slam. McDonald, Bill Hall and Scutaro each singled before Drew's homer. McDonald homered into a camera area in center, making it 6-4 in the fourth. Lowell, starting at DH, homered into the Green Monster seats. Rangers starter Matt Harrison gave up six runs in four-plus innings. Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence! Almost the Weekend!

The offense that had shown up with force in the last two games, Sunday against Nebraska and again Tuesday against Benedictine, disappeared in a 1-0 victory against Missouri. "When you're in a game that's 1-0, it's always good to be out on the winning side," coach Ritch Price said, laughing. The Jayhawks ran off the Tigers' starting pitcher Eric Anderson within the first two innings, but after that, Missouri's pitchers batted back, holding the Jayhawks to zero runs in eight innings. Not only did Robby Price's hitting streak end at 22 games, but the offense managed to leave six runners on base while outhitting the Tigers 6-3. After the Jayhawks struck first blood with a James Stanfield RBI single, the offense then shifted into neutral. Still, Kansas wanted a better offensive performance against Missouri. "We got that first run early in the game, and I figured we would put up eight or nine against these guys," outfielder Jimmy Waters said. "We just didn't get clutch hits, but I'm glad to get out of here with the win." The lineup received a shuffling of sorts with Brandon Macias hitting in the leadoff spot and Casey Lytle batting sixth. Both players struggled from the plate in the game. Macias was 1-for-4 with a single. Litle was 0-for-4 from the dish, but he inched closer to the all-time school hit by pitch record. He's two away from the Kansas record of 20. There were only a few positives on the night, as Brian Heere went 2-for-4 from the plate, and Stanfield had the lone RBI. There were several times in the game when Kansas had an opportunity to break the game open, but bad at bats and quick outs were the jayhawks' undoing at the plate. "We've been struggling at the back of our lineup, and I moved Casey down to get our best five hitters together and help set up Robby and Brian so they can drive in runs." Ritch Price said. NA Although the game was ugly for the offense, the echoing sentiment among the layhawks after the game was that simply getting the victory against Missouri was good enough. "I don't want to put any locker room material up there for them." Waters said "But after last season's bitter ending to them, we knew needed to take care of business" Junior left fielder Jimmy Waters connects on a pitch for a base hit Wednesday night against Missouri in the Border Showdown. Waters scored the Jayhawks' only run in the 1-0 victory against Missouri and batted 1-for-4. Edited by Cory Bunting TAYLOR (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "Always getting the leadoff guy is key," Blankenship said. retired, Blankenship said he felt confident the game was in hand. Blankenship quickly retired the final two batters and preserved the shutout victory - the first save of his career. That meant Taylor, his fellow Royals fan, had earned his fourth victory of the season. Sporting an ear-to-ear grin after the game, it was clear that Taylor was still relishing a moment he's not soon to forget. "Ever since I was a kid the Royals have been my favorite team, so it's obviously a dream to come play at Kauffman." Taylor said. "And to pitch as good as I did, it's just icing on the cake." Edited by Jesse Rangel Player to remember Thomas Taylor, freshman starting pitcher Taylor was nothing short of brilliant in 5.2 innings against the Tigers, the longest outing of his young career. Taylor shut out Missouri, allowing just two hits with zero walks and tying a career-high with eight strikeouts. It continues a string of excellent outings for the freshman. In his last four appearances — three starts and a brief appearance in relief Sunday — Taylor has gone 14 innings and allowed zero runs on seven hits and no walks with 19 strikeouts. JONATHAN HENRY Taylor Player to forget From the stat book The Jayhawks may not have expected to pick up a 1-0 victory — "No way," coach Ritch Price said — but Robby Price, senior second baseman theyll certainly take it. It was the first 1-0 victory for the Jayhawks since 1983, at least a few years before any of the current players were even born. Price may be all but a lock for All-Conference honors at second base, but he struggled against Missouri Wednesday night. Price reached base on a hit-by-pitch, but wasn't able to pick up a hit. It was just the sixth time this year Price had gone hitless in a game, and it ended a 22-game hit streak. No cause for worry, though. Price is still hitting .462 in conference play. 1983 S Price Key inning Ninth Domino's Pizza The Jayhawks failed to get any insurance runs for closer Travis Blankenship, but it didn't matter in the end. Blankenship came back from a 3-0 count to strike out arguably the most feared hitter in the Big 12, Aaron Senne, and mowed through the heart of the Missouri lineup en route to picking up a two-inning save.

First, the bats don't come alive. The Jayhawks can't expect to pick up any more wins by just producing one run (it hadn't happened for 27 years), so they'll need to find a way to get more runs across the plate. On the other hand, the pitching staff can hardly perform better than a three-hit shutout against a conference opponent. Coach Price is deservedly happy with the development of Thomas Taylor since he underwent surgery last year.

Even more impressive than Price's 22 straight games with at least one hit is the number six. Price has now gone hitless in only six of the Jayhawks' 39 games. STREAK SNAPPED Gamenotes BY THE NUMBERS With the victory, Kansas improves to 21-1-1 when leading after six innings. Kansas is now 3-0 over Missouri at Kauffman and 6-5 all-time in Major League parks.

Five seniors, including guard Sade Morris and Danielle McCray, who was recently drafted by the Conneticut Sun, will graduate. Four freshmen and two new assistant coaches will join the team. C But now junior guard Rhea Codio and freshman forward Annette Davis can be subtracted from Codio Davis Davis the renovation project. Both players are seeking to transfer schools after this semester. Davis played sparsely as a freshman. She scored a career-high nine points after sinking all attempts in a 77-52 loss at Nebraska on March 3. "I'm starting the whole recruit process over," Davis said. "I think the Big 12 is the hardest conference that there is," Davis said. Davis said that she would look for more playing time and consider some of the schools that recruited her out of high school. She wants to be closer to her home in Houston and mentioned San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Stephen F. Austin, University of Houston and Houston Baptist University as candidates. She also said that schools in Louisiana and Arkansas had shown interest. "You never know how good you're going to be until you start playing," Davis said. Codio transferred to Kansas from Independence Community College and appeared in 22 contests this season, with one start. Codio, a Brooklyn, N.Y., native, began the season turning the ball over frequently and rarely earned minutes. Codio said that she didn't know whether she wanted to go to a school closer to home or stay in the Midwest. She did say her time at Kansas was valuable for her development as a point guard. But when freshman guard Angel Goodrich torre the ACL in her right knee, Codio was forced into a greater role and looked more comfortable despite her relative inexperience in the Big 12. Wednesday she said that Kansas wasn't the right fit and that her decision was strictly basketball based. "I learned to be tougher, to push myself, to be more patient and to be more tolerant of things," Codio said. "I definitely know the definition of being consistent." "It's necessary that me and KU's program go different ways," Codio said. Edited by Jesse Rangel NBA LeBron praises Windy City as series changes venues MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INDEPENDENCE, Ohio LeBron James wants to be sure that residents of the Windy City know that Chicago is his kind of town. Unlike Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah, who went out of his way to say unkind things about Cleveland, James said he loves hitting Chicago. "We all love it," he said of his Cavaliers teammates. James' exchange with reporters was an example of just how loose the Cavs are as they prepared to fly to Chicago on Wednesday afternoon. It was also a stark contrast to the harsh words uttered by Noah, even after his team dropped to 0-2 against the Cavs in the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Given a chance to say that he regretted his remarks after Game 2 on Monday, Noah held firm. There were no such declarations from James regarding Chicago. He spent three summers there training at Michael Jordan's facility. "You think Cleveland's cool? I never heard anybody say, I'm going to Cleveland on vacation," he said. "What's so good about Cleveland?" "It's a great city. It's one of the best cities we have in America. It has great restaurants, great shopping," James said. "I have nothing bad to say about Chicago and I'm not saying that because of what he said about Cleveland." James even admitted that "I go on vacation in Chicago sometimes." The Cavs are going to Chicago with one goal in mind: To ensure that Noah and his teammates won't have to suffer the indignity of returning to Cleveland until next season. But before they can entertain any thoughts of attaining dominance over the Bulls, the Cavs still have plenty of stuff to clean up before tonight's game. "Hopefully, (the practice) will carry over." Brown said. the paint compared to the Cavs' 38 in Game 2. The Bulls beat the Cavs in almost every facet of Game 2 with the exception of 3-pointers and overall shooting. The Bulls created extra possessions by beating the Cavs 13-5 in offensive rebounds and 21-7 in second-chance points. But there will be more to tonight's game, a huge factor being that the Bulls return to their home at the United Center. "We just have to have a little bit better effort, like we had in Game 1, where we didn't give up that many offensive rebounds and second-chance points." James said. "I think a lot of teams play with more confidence at home." James Coach Mike Brown said the Cavs focused on those elements along with interior defense, because the Bulls had 56 points in Cavaliers forward LeBron James' positive comments came after Bulls forward Joakim Noah made disparaging comments about Cleveland Monday. said. "They shoot the ball particularly well from the outside at home because the crowd is into it. This is a team that definitely runs a lot more on every possession at home because when you have that crowd energy, it definitely helps you." The Bulls outscored the Caws 18-15 on fastbreak points in Game 2. If the Bulls are more aggressive at home, James and company will have to step up their game. "We're a confident bunch; we know what we can do better and we know what we can control," James said. "We gave them too many transition points and too many paint points. We've got to control what we can control." BUD FAMILY BEERS $17.88 BUDWEISER, BUD LIGHT & BUD SELECT 30 PACKS THE BEST PRICES IN TOWN!

Eventually, they would. The Magic's star pairing finally showed up. turnovers, though, they could've been up more. Orlando 92, Charlotte 77 (Orlando leads the series, 2-0) Then, Carter took the reigns. Howard used a drop step, spun right and hammered home a rim-rocking dunk over Tyson Chandler that started a big Magic push. Stephen Jackson showed no effects from his hyperextended left knee to score 27 points, and Gerald Wallace had 15 points for the Bobcats. But their 21 turnovers are a big reason why they're heading home still searching for the franchise's first playoff win. This one wasn't the prettiest playoff basketball. Carter finished with 19 points. Howard scored 15 and the Orlando Magic took a 2-0 series lead with a 92-77 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night. Orlando's biggest offseason acquisition, Carter sliced his way through the lane for several layups late in the third quarter. He anchored a run that put the Magic ahead 75-55 after three quarters. The Magic's star duo was less than stellar but took over when it counted most. They combined for 21 second-half points to help Orlando build a 20-point lead and hold on late. Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Saturday in Charlotte. The Bobcats went more than eight minutes to start the game with only three points, and had just one field goal with six turnovers during the stretch. The goods news for them: The Magic were almost as bad early. The first half was a turnover fest for both teams, and nobody could consistently hit a shot. Things were so out of sorts that the normally sharpshooting J.J. Redick even badly missed the free throw from Charlotte coach Larry Brown's technical foul in the second quarter. DALLAS — Richard lefferson bounded right out of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich's doghouse. The Magic put together the closest thing to a run, and they slowly went ahead 41-30 at the half on Ryan Anderson's 3-pointer. With Charlotte's 14 first-half Knowing he was among the guys Popovich thought "played like dogs" in the opener, Jefferson scored 17 of his 19 points in the first half to help San Antonio beat the Dallas Mavericks 102-88 in Game 2 on Wednesday night to tie their first-round series at a game apiece. ASSOCIATED PRESS Mavericks lose Game 2, give away home court advantage to rival Spurs NBA SAN ANTONIO SPURS MAVERICKS Jefferson responded exactly the way Popovich hoped. He matched his Game 1 points in the opening minutes and was 7-of-9 by halftime, several coming during a 12-1 surge that broke the game open for good. SAN ANTONIO SPURS GALEWOOD MAVERICKS Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki went from hardy missing in Game 1 to San Antonio 102, Dallas 88 (Series tied, 1-1) hardly making. The Spurs didn't even smother him; merely knowing they were creeping his way threw Nowitzki out of whack. He missed six of his first seven shots, and even missed a free throw after having made 88 in a row. He finished with 24 points, down from 36 in the opener. The Mavericks played their best only after they seemed to have buried themselves — down 16-5 early, they got within one by the end of the quarter; down 80-60 late in the third quarter they scored 12 straight points; down 13 again early in the fourth, they clawed within five. However, they never led and have now given away home-court advantage.

"Stuckey came into the season with high expectations." Nolan Nawrocki, author of Pro Football Weekly's annual draft preview, said during a teleconference. "He was disappointing for the most part this season. He's a hitter when he has a clean alley. He'll come up and make his presence felt." Briscoe followed a similar path to this point. Briscoe declared for the NFL draft after his junior season. Not heavily recruited out of high school, Briscoe quickly developed into Kansas' best big-play threat. He totaled 218 catches, 3,240 yards and 34 touchdowns in three years. "Ever since I was 7, I just wanted to play football and exceed at every level I came to play at — little league to middle school to high school to college." Briscoe said in March after the NFL combine. "Now that it's on the professional level, I'll have a chance to play with people that I admired growing up which is a blessing." He was suspended throughout spring practices and for Kansas' first game last season — for disciplinary reasons. But Briscoe also had issues to address. Then, at the NFL combine in Dallas, Briscoe ran a 4.66 40-yard dash. He later improved that time to a 4.51 at Kansas' Pro Daw. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO "Dez ran poorly," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said in a teleconference. "I did his bowl game a couple of years ago. I like him as a player. He's got big hands, strong hands. He's a little bit inconsistent, but a big physical receiver. But because he ran so slowly, I think he's going to go in the fourth round." Still, if everything goes as expected, the next three days will make Briscoe and Stuckey's childhood dreams into a tangible reality. "The percentage of how many college players there are to how many players actually get a chance every year is remarkable." Stuckey said. "I'm going to cherish it while I'm there." Edited by Becky Howlett 0 W/O Dermon Briscoe runs drills in front of NFL scouts at the KU pro day. The former wide receiver is predicted to be a mid-round pick alongside Darrell Sturgeon in the NFL Draft this week. Briscoe totaled 218 catches, 3,240 total yards and 34 touchdowns in his three years on the KU football squad. FUTURE IN CANADA MIGHT BE POSSIBLE FOR REESING According to many mock drafts, the chances of quarterback Todd Reesing hearing his name during the NFL draft this week are extremely slim. But Reesing appears to have another option in his back pocket. According to a story in the Regina Leader-Post, the Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders own the negotiating rights to Reesing. 1 That doesn't mean that Reesing can't play in the NFL, or any other league for that matter. But if Reesing opts to play in the Canadian Football League — and if the Roughriders are also interested — Saskatchewan gets the rights to sign him. Reesing Each of the eight CFL teams select 35 players to place on negotiating lists. Normally, teams place players with slim chances of being drafted on their lists in order to have the best opportunity to sign them later. If a player isn't drafted, or if he's cut from an NFL squad, the CFL team with his negotiating rights has the opportunity to sign that player. In 2009, former Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell signed with Saskatchewan after he was released from the NFL. The Roughriders owned the negotiating rights to Harrell. Former Kansas running back Jon Cornish is currently in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders. $6.99 EACH UP TO 15 DIFFERENT DESIGNS 23RD and 24TH $6.99 EACH UP TO 15 DIFFERENT DESIGNS 23RD and 24TH KU University of Kansas Champions Big 12 Champ shirts Missouri, Nebraska, K-State rivalry shirts and MORE!

Don't look at the shoes. Suh said he didn't know whether he was going to the Rams first overall, the Lions second overall, the Buccaneers third overall or elsewhere in the draft Thursday night. He didn't rule out anything. The conventional wisdom is that the Rams will take Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford, the Lions will take Suh, and the Bucs will take Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCov. "I'm definitely uncertain," Suh said, sitting on a bench, flipping a football in his hands. "I have no idea what's going to happen. Nobody's approached me and said that they want to draft me. So until that happens, I can't give you guys an answer like you're looking for. But he's a shoe lover from Oregon, home of Nike, a company he endorses.

The Rams haven't tried to sign Bradford and just traded defensive lineman Adam Carriker, Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth reportedly is available. Some think the Lions could acquire Haynesworth and draft a left tackle — Oklahoma State's NFL He's got options, right? "By this point last year, it was pretty certain Matthew Stafford was going one," McCoy said, referring to the Georgia QB the Lions signed the night before the draft and took first overall. "Everybody thinks Sam's going one, but you don't know. Everybody knew Stafford was going one. So you don't know. If you don't know by tonight, you really ain't going to Russell Okung or Oklahoma's Trent Williams. Some think they could take a left tackle even if they don't acquire Haynesworth. know tomorrow. everything's up in the air. Teams appear to be exhausting every option. "It's the 75th anniversary of this draft, so you know something special's going to happen." And Mayock thinks it's Suh to the Lions at No. 2. "Can't tell you that," Suh said, smiling. "You've got to come out and see." All Suh can do now is wait. He was all smiles as he played flag football with kids Wednesday, intercepting a pass and galloping the other way, rushing up the middle at the quarterback. He hung out with the 20 or so family members and friends, trying to relax. What color suit does he have picked out for Thursday night? Coach Jim Schwartz already recruited free-agent defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch, whom he once coached as Tennessee's defensive coordinator. Vanden Bosch excelled when Haynesworth played for the Titans. "I definitely would love to learn from somebody like that if I had the opportunity to play at Detroit and with him." NDAMUKONG SUH Nebraska defensive tackle bosch, but Vanden Bosch is a fellow Cornhusker. Sut called him "a Nebraska great" and the signing "one hell of a move." Vanden Bosch has spoken highly of him, too. Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said. "However, they trade Rriker. That creates a potential hole in the defense line where people say, Oh, they might take a defensive tackle, so if we want McCoy or Suh, do we have to come up and get him? I think they're just trying to create a market. "At the end of the day, if they don't get blown away, I think it's Sam Bradford." "I think if you sign Kyle Vanden Bosch, you've got to put a three technique next to him." Mayock said. "He was his most effective ... you can check the sack numbers. If he doesn't have a good three technique next to him, he's not quite the same pass rusher. I think it's the Tennessee philosophy that Schwartz is going to go through there." I think the Rams are trying to stay open for business to the last second, and I think they feel like Sam Bradford's their guy," NFL "I appreciate all the love he's given me and ying for me to come out there," Suh said. "Ive got options," Suh said. "I love options. You've got to have options, especially when you've got a great big event like this." When Suh visited the Lions in March, defensive line coach Kris Kocurek laid out his vision. Suh would be a three technique, disrupt defenses and play the run on the way to the quarterback.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Some of Jim Delany's fellow conference commissioners joked about attending his Wednesday briefing with reporters. They're eager to find out how the Big Ten's plans for expansion will affect the landscape of college football. The Big Ten commissioner, taking a break from his self-imposed "silent phase," said expansion remains on the deliberate path the conference laid out in December. "Whether it takes six months, 12 months or 18 months, hopefully we'll do it in a way that feels comfortable," Delany said. "You're not trying to find somebody you want to spend a year with. You're trying to find out who you are going to be (with) for the next 25-50 years." Some officials here at the Bowl Championship Series meetings remain skeptical of the process taking that long to complete. Asked about being stuck in a holding pattern for the next six months, Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson replied: "The timeline has to be a little quicker than that because everybody has exit and entrance requirements and penalties and whatnot. It's not going to be the middle of football season, I wouldn't suspect, unless you're willing to wait till the (2011-12) season to make the changes." A Big East school such as Rutgers, Pittsburgh, Syracuse or Connecticut would have to give 27 months' notice before leaving. The Big 12 also would impose the big financial penalties in a senior such as Missouri or Nebraska bolted for the Big Ten. "It would be negligent not to be concerned." Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe said. After, Burke After Beebejoked Tuesday that he would put Delany in a headlock to pry loose some answers, Delany responded: "I'm going to keep him in front of me and rely on my quickness." But very few answers. "It would be negligent not to be concerned." "The presidents have been clear," he said. "This may not happen." Delany agreed that the prevailing sentiment among Big Ten football coaches is to expand because the majority want to extend the season by creating a conference championship game. But he left open the possibility that the league might remain at 11. And Delany would not say whether it would be advantageous to add one, three or five teams. "Too early," he replied. DAN BEEBE Big 12 Commissioner Delany also claimed that an analysis prepared for the league by the Chicagobased investment firm William Blair & Company did not conclude that any of the five schools analyzed, Missouri, Notre Dame, Pittsburg, Syracuse, and Rutgers _ would add value to the league, as the Tribune reported last month. Delay said that the firm "created some evaluative tools" to help the Big Ten understand the value of its television packages and revenue streams. Those revenue streams are the envy of college football, with the exception of the Southeastern Conference. Even Notre Dame could boost its financial fortunes by joining the Big Ten, though Irish athletic director Jack Swarbrick reiterated Wednesday that remaining independent is the school's first priority. MLB Nationals benefit from another strong start, defeat Rockies 6-4 ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Wil Nieves drove in the go-ahead run with a double, Ivan Rodriguez added a sacrifice fly and the Washington Nationals came back to beat Colorado 6-4 Wednesday night, staying undefeated when their starting pitcher goes at least five innings. Washington's John Lannan allowed four runs in six innings, enough to keep the team in the game. The Nationals are 8-0 when their starter goes at least five, 0-7 when he doesn't. Reliever Tyler Clippard (3-0) struck out three in two scoreless innings, and closer Matt Capps worked a shaky ninth before earning his seventh save in seven chances. The game was tied entering the eighth, when Rockies reliever Rafael Betancourt (0-1) allowed a leadoff single to Josh Willingham. After an intentional walk, Nieves lined a double to left-center. Rodriguez then came up as a pinch-hitter and padded the lead before an announced crowd of 11,191, the tiniest in three seasons at Nationals Park. It was a tad smaller than the record low 11.623 who showed up Monday One bit of bad news for Washington: All-Star third baseman Ryan Zimmerman left in the seventh inning after appearing to throw. hurt his right hamstring while running out a double. The Rockies - wearing black patches on their sleeves in memory of team president Keli McGregor, who died this week at age 48 - built a 3-0 lead, thanks in part to Brad Hawpe's third homer of the season. Hawpe's solo shot over the wall in center made it a three-run lead in the third. Carlos Gonzalez tied a career high with four hits — all singles — including one leading off the game. Dexter Fowler followed with a double, and both eventually scored to make it 2.0. The Rockies then loaded the bases with two singles — one by Hawpe that clanged off Lannan's left leg — and a walk, but Clint Barnes fled out to center to end the inning. Lannan also took a shot off his right leg in the sixth. But the Nationals came right back to take the lead with four runs in the bottom half, thanks John Lannan allowed four runs in six innings for the Nationals. Washington is 8-0 when its starter goes at least five innings, 0-7 when he doesn't in large part to Adam Dunn's two-run double past sprawling first baseman Jason吉 a i m b i, Willingham's RBI single, and a fielding error on Barmes at second base that allowed Willingham to score. Colorado tied it at 4-all on Gonzalez's run-scoring single in the fourth. Capps had three strikeouts in the ninth, but he also made it a bit of an adventure, putting two men on base with two outs. But he caught pinch-hitter Ian Stewart looking at a final strike to end the game.

"You've done your planning. You've had all your discussions. You want there to be as little distraction as possible when you get to game day." Months of preparation have gone into creating orderly draft rooms that hopefully can minimize mistakes, deftly maneuver the new three-day format and maximize picks as few as four (Redskins) and as many as 12 (Patriots). Not counting what Spielman calls "the worker bees," the Vikings will have 16 people in their draft room.

Tiny Gallon to declare for NBA draft Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen could join Bradford as the second quarterback in the top 10, but multiple variables that include team needs, their current levels of investment in the quarterback position and questions about Clausen's ability to lead could cause him to tumble through the first round entirely. COLLEGE BASKETBALL COLLEGE NEWS NETWORK "War rooms" from Seattle to Miami and in between will lock down for business at 6:30 p.m. Thursday when a sputtering Rams franchise that is 6-42 in its past 48 games kicks off the 75th annual NFL draft. The OU men's basketball team has lost yet another player, as freshman forward Keith "Tiny" Gallon announced this week that he was making himself eligible for the NBA Draft. St. Louis probably will select Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford in hopes of landing the next Troy Aikman and not the next Tim Couch. It will be the first of 255 selections, many of which could begin shaping the NFLs Team of the 2010s or the laughingstock of the league's ninth decade. "I had a long conversation with my mom and then with [head coach jeff] Capel, and I decided that this is the best thing for me at this time," Gallon said in a press release. "I've had a great experience at OU, but at the same time I'm excited about my possible future in the NBA." Gallon's departure is just the latest in a series of changes to the OU roster. Fellow freshman guard Tommy Mason-Griffin declared for the draft as well, along with sophomore guard Willie Warren. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE After Bradford, look for defensive tackles Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska and Gerald McCoy of Oklahoma to go second and third to Detroit and Tampa Bay, respectively. Then there could be a run of offensive tackles that sees Russell Okung of Oklahoma State, Bryan Bulaga of Iowa, Trent Williams of Oklahoma and Anthony Davis of Rutgers fly off the board before the 10th pick. Gallon, a former McDonalds All-American in high school, averaged 10.3 points and 7.9 rebounds in 24 minutes per game for OU this season. Sophomore guard Ray Willis announced his decision to transfer after the season ended. Rams start off tonight's draft, Bradford likely pick "I'm happy for Tiny and wish him nothing but success and luck." Capel said in the press release. "This is something Tiny wants to do and, as I've said before, I'm not one to stand in the way of a career choice that one of my players thinks is in his best interest." NFL The Oklahoma Daily Some draft rooms will be buster than others. Some teams stock- piled extra picks in hopes of building a powerhouse or extending one. Others already spent some of their picks heartily. The Seahawks and 49ers each have two first-round picks, while the Bears don't pick until the third round (No. 75). The Panthers don't have a first-round pick either, but they do have a second-rounder (No. 48). The Patriots, for example, have four of the top 53 picks, including three in the second round, while the Redskins pick fourth overall Thursday and not again until the fourth round on Saturday. The long-suffering Browns have 10 picks, six from trades, three in the third round and a proven franchise builder in new president Mike Holmgren. The Ravens and Jets only have five picks apiece, none in the third round. The Eagles have 10 picks, none of which will be scrutinized more closely than the second-rounder (No. 37) they received from the rival Redskins for quarterback Donovan McNabb. Six picks later, Denver gets to use the second-rounder it received from Miami in the Brandon Marshall trade. The Buccaneers have 11 picks and multiple needs that were obvious last season. The Steelers, meanwhile, have 11 picks and an dilemma unforeseen not long ago. Do they use this draft to replace two-time super Bowling-winning quarterback Ben Roethlisberger? He's only 28. It takes in some cases years to determine the success or failure of a draft pick. Teams that succeed enough times in late April usually end up standing in confetti showers in early February. The Rams have 10 picks, including the first in each round. And the defending Super Bowl champion Saints have only six picks, with no fifth-rounder and no pick higher than 31st in any round. "When I look at Sam Bradford, I see a guy like Troy Aikman." Jaworski likes Bradford's size and, more importantly, his willingness to deliver the ball with velocity and accuracy while knowing he's going to take a hard hit. He likens Bradford's toughness to that of Aikman, the No. 1 overall pick in 1989 who went on to win three Super Bowls and tarn a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. One thing appears certain; Bradford, a quarterback with prototypical NFL size and arm strength, will be the No. 1 pick despite coming off a shoulder injury. "When I look at Sam Bradford, I see a guy like Troy Aikman," Jaworski said. "He's a big, statuesque quarterback in that pocket that can throw the football." "Quality big people that can play on every down are hard to find," Gruden said. "(Suh) reminds me a little of Richard Seymour from when he was with the Patriots," Gruden said. "He's more of a two-gap player on the line of scrimmage. McCoy is more of a classic one-gap defensive tackle, a lot like (Chicago)'s Tommy Harris. While Jaworski and other experts believe Bradford will take time to develop, the consensus is Suh and McCoy will hit the NFI ready to contribute on every down. Jon Gruden, former Super Bowl-winning coach and current FSPN analyst, said he wouldn't shy away from taking a defensive tackle in the top two or three spots in the draft. "That's the one big question mark," said former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski. "But if you can say, 'OK, he's healthy, he's fine,' then he's your No. 1 overall pick." but he's also troubled, on the trading block and, as of Wednesday, suspended for six games for violating the league's personal conduct policy. RON JAWORSKI Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN NFL analyst "People accuse me of like all the quarterbacks and being Johnny Positive," Gruden said. "But if you don't like Colt McCoy then you probably didn't like Drew Brees coming out of Purdue either." who came out of Oklahoma a few years earlier." Al though most of the predraft attention is on the first round, the draft traditionally produces hidden gems throughout the later rounds that are revealed over time (see Tom Brady, 199th pick in 2000). Some experts are thinking Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, a far more successful college player than Brady, could be a steal when the second and third rounds begin Friday night. "That's the one thing that drives me through this," Spielman said. "I want to have a ring on my finger." lemon bliss spa Limited Time Offers! $22 for 1 Month Unlimited Tanning $10 for 1 Week Unlimited Tanning 1200 Oread Ave (inside The Oread) 785.830.3908 www.theoread.com MLB NEW YORK — Carlos Silva added six crisp innings to his surprising comeback, Alfonso Soriano hit a two-run homer and the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Mets 9-3 on Wednesday night to snap a four-game skid.

Up next: Texas Tech vs. Kansas When: 2 p.m. Saturday and noon Sunday Where: Arrocha Ballpark, Lawrence NFL League suspends 'Big Ben' six games MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was involved in an alleged sexual assault in Georgia last month, but who was not slapped with any criminal charges, was punished severely on Wednesday by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Saying that Roethlisberger violated the NFL's personal conduct policy. Goodell suspended the quarterback six games and ordered him to undergo a comprehensive behavioral evaluation by NFL-appointed experts. The suspension can be reduced to four games based on a subsequent evaluation, or it can be lengthened if Roethlisberger continues to engage in behavior that violates the league's conduct policy. Meanwhile, the Steelers explored the possibility of trading Roethlisberger in advance of Thursday's NFL draft, which begins at 6:30 p.m. at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Only the first round will be held Thursday night; the Steelers would only deal Roethlisberger to a team with a "You are held to a higher standard as an NFL player." high first-round pick, and it appeared the Raiders, who have the eighth overall choice, were at least somewhat interested. you have first thrilled and now disappointed a great many people." Goodell wrote. "I urge you to take full advantage of this opportunity to get your life and career back on track." In a letter to Roethlisberger, Goodell said he must submit to any counseling or treatment recommended by professional evaluators to help him make better decisions and avoid situations that can cause legal or other problems. A professional behavioral evaluation is mandatory for anyone who has violated the NFL Personal Conduct Policy. Roethlisberger may not attend any team offseason activity until he has completed the evaluation and the evaluating professionals confirm with the commissioner that Roethlisberger will resume football activities. If so cleared, Roethlisberger will be able to participate in training camp and preseason games this summer. "In your six years in the NFL. Roethlisberger was accused by a 20-year-old college student of sexual assault at a Milledgeville, Ga., club on March 5. According to a police report, Roethlisberger assaulted the woman in a bathroom. He was not brought up on criminal charges, although the district attorney said he considered the woman "a victim." ROGER GOODELL NFL commissioner Roethlisberger is the first player suspended by Goodell under the conduct policy who hasn't been arrested or charged with a crime. "I recognize that the allegations in Georgia were disputed and that they did not result in criminal charges being filed against you," Goodell wrote. "My decision today is not based on a finding that you violated Georgia law, or on a conclusion that differs from that of the local prosecutor. That said, you are held to a higher standard as an NFL player, and there is nothing about your conduct in Milledgeville that can remotely be described as admirable, responsible, or consistent with either the values of the league or the expectations of our fans." Steelers president Art Rooney II said he supported Goodell's decision. "We were prepared to impose discipline" if Goodell did not, Rooney told reporters in a conference call on Wednesday afternoon. Roethlisberger's agent, Ryan Tollner, said that "at some point" the quarterback or his representatives will speak on the matter. Goodell and Rooney informed Roethlisberger of the decision Wednesday morning. The team also conducted its own investigation into the matter and "we felt we had all the information we needed to have this decision be made," Rooney said. WANT TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS? NEW!

She has white-blond hair, an easy smile and a fervent devotion to Taylor Swift. She's athletic, imaginative, carefree. She talks in a constant high-pitched tempest of flailing arms and furtive outbursts of song. Her boundless energy manages to get her into trouble at school on an almost daily basis. In short, she's nothing like me, now or when I was a child. We share the same parents and half the same DNA, but Charlotte and I will never quite occupy the same world. Still, my baby sis has changed my life forever, and, as she continues to bring an incredible amount of joy into my life, I think all the time about how I can return the favor. Charlotte was born five years ago, while I was living away from my parents. I had grown up an only child but gained three sisters in less than year after my mom married my stepdad and shortly after gave birth to Charlotte. When I came back from study abroad to finish high school at home, I had to adapt to a situation that was like nothing I had ever experienced — suddenly, a baby existed in our household. As I prepared to leave home, another little life became dependent on my parents' devotion. The change was immediate and sweeping, and, for a long time, I felt little more than distant disbelief as I hurriedly — and rather ineptly — attempted to help out my mom. But it didn't take long till the baby ceased to be the alien living upstairs and Charlotte, infectious, joyous personality and all, became my sister — my baby sis, in particular, who loves to visit "college" (anything and everything in Lawrence) and always grants me first pick of the dolls we play with together. Siblings of all ages — or the lack of them — affect our relationships and everyday lives in myriad ways. Check out Katy's story on page 7 to learn more about sibling relationships. And consider giving your sibling a call if you can — even if it's has to be on a pink, child-sized, Nickelodeon-branded phone. During this time, Charlotte has probably taught me more than I'll ever teach her. She coaxes a playful, child-like joy out of me each time I get the pleasure of talking to (she loves to call me on her iCarly-themed phone) or seeing her. Sixteen years older than her. I know we'll never have the conventional sister relationship, but I look forward to getting to see her grow up, and always being there for her as her bad-ass cool older sister. // ALEX GARRISON, EDITOR DESIGNERS// Laura Fisk, Kelci Shipley Liz Schulte CONTACT // Lindsay Cleek, Jasie Kinsman, Katy Saunders HEALTH// Adam Vossen MANUAL // Emily Johnson Ben Sullivan NOTICE // Mary Henderson, Abby Olcese, Anna Sobering PLAY // Beth Beavers, Taylor Brown, Anna Kathagnarath CONTRIBUTORS // CONTRIBUTORS / Mike Anderson, Molly Martin, Brittany Nelson, Landon McDonald CREATIVE CONSULTANT // Carol Holstead CONTACT US // jayplay10@gmail.com JAYPLAY The University Daily Kansan 111 Stauffer-Fint Hall (785) 864-4810 1435 Jayhawk Blvd Lawrence, KS 66045 FOLLOW JAYPLAY ON TWITTER AT twitter.com/JayplayMagazine Astro's ROCKS 601 Kosold (785) 749-7699 3 04 22 10 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BE CAUGHT READING THE KANSAN AND YOU COULD WIN RACHEL SEITTER, OLATHE SOPHOMORE WITH FREE GAMEORY SHIRT THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BE CAUGHT READING THE KANSAN AND YOU COULD WIN RACHEL SEITTER, OLATHE SOPHOMORE WITH FREE REMEDY SHORT The beach is only a half-hour away Our location is simply 13 miles on 24, 3 miles north of Perry, between Topeka and Lawrence.

In his book *The Guide to Picking up Girls*, Gabe Fischbarg has a lot of bad advice. 1) "Dancing is a big waste of time. Most straight men can't dance without looking foolish." 2) "Aerobics class is for girls and gay men. Avoid them." 3) "Alcohol is an important part of your rap [I assume that means the ability to talk with girls], 99.9% of guys in the world need the magic elixir of alcohol to lay a good rap." This advice is terrible. First, dancing can be very attractive for both sexes. Trying to dance says you are outgoing and social. Second aerobics or yoga classes are great places to meet girls or guys. They're a great social environment that helps you initiate conversations and relationships. Aerobics and yoga will also greatly improve your physique and sex life by helping with stamina and flexibility. There is a lot of bad advice out there — especially for guys. Dancing, aerobic classes, yoga, and social interactions with little-to-moderate alcohol can all help you work on initiating a relationship, or at the very least improve your sex life. Take advantage and enjoy the rewards. As far as the last comment goes, I am at a loss for words. A drink or two is fine, but to think you need to get drunk to pick up a guy or girl is ludicrous. If you are nervous about approaching someone, alcohol can be your worst enemy. Instead, work on your social side by starting more conversations with strangers.

There were pink neon lights framing the ceiling and 500 underage kids drinking. There was a cheetah in the master bedroom, too. One of the parents stood up and said "everyone get out, or get naked!"

Often, sibling relationships are the longest lasting in life. Siblings provide good social practice and are examples for younger brothers or sisters. How brothers and sisters impact our everyday lives // KATY SAUNDERS T T the bossy older child, the difficult middle child, the spoiled only child and the unruly baby — few of us escape being labeled according to some sort of sibling stereotype. Are those merely typecasts? or is there truth to birth order differences? Birth order expert Frank Sulloway, author of Born to Rebel, says differences definitely exist. "The roles siblings adopt leads to differences in behavior." Sulloway says, "And parents tend to reinforce these roles, whether they realize it or not." Sibling relationships are often the longest-lasting bond we have. Whether deliberately or involuntarily, siblings affect the choices we make about our careers and mates, as well as the way we manage our health, finances and general living standards. One of the ways siblings shape our lives is by providing good social practice. Laurie Kramer, a professor of applied family studies at the University of Illinois, says siblings provide good training for interacting with peers. "Siblings help kids learn what they think is right and then to negotiate and compromise." Kramer says. "Some evidence even suggests that when kids have good relationships with siblings, they're more likely to develop好 relationships with their peers." In a household crazier than most, Roslyn Zuniger, Shawnee sophomore, agrees with Kramer's statement that siblings certainly have their ups and downs. Zuniger is a triplet and has four older siblings ranging from seven to 11 years older. She found that each sibling played a different role in her life. "Having brothers and sisters definitely helped socialize me, Zamigers says. "But as you grow older your relationships with siblings change." When her parents got a divorce, Zuniger said the family dynamic changed, and even though her and her triplet siblings stuck together, differing opinions forced Zuniger to find comfort in an older sister, rather than with her same-age siblings. Siblings also influence our lives through personal choices and behavior. Habits such as drinking, smoking and misbehaving run a risk of rubbing off on siblings says Katherine Jewbury Conger, an associate professor of human development and family studies at the University of California-Davis. However, Andrew McCrackin, Overland Park sophomore, disagrees with Davis. Being the baby of four, McCrackin says he tended not to follow in his siblings footsteps. "By seeing their mistakes, it was easier for me to avoid repeating them," McCrackin says. The words "sibling" and "rivalty" tend to appear in sentences frequently, but some siblings defeat that rivalty by being different. Mark Feinberg, senior research associate at Penn State University's Human Development Research Center, suggests this "differentiation" process is how siblings carve out their own identity within a family so that each can be "special" in the eyes of parents. In one study, Feinberg found that siblings who were closer in age were more likely to differentiate than siblings separated by a bigger age gap. "Kids do this to minimize rivalry with one another," Feinberg says. Two years apart from her sister, Caroline Robb, Newton sophomore, says she shares a lot of the same characteristics with her sister, but she says she believes their individuality prevented stress between them and their parents. "We're different enough that we've never had to compete," Robb says. "I was the athlete and she was the editor of the newspaper, so we never competed for our parents' attention in the same thing." However, Roslyn Zunger says her and her triplet siblings were always competing for their parents' attention. She says the sibling rivalry continued in college when Roslyn chose to attend KU and her sister chose Kansas State. Like 20 percent of children in America, to Ellen Belcher, Lenexa freshman, never had to deal with sibling rivalry because she's an only child. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of U.S. women having only one child rose from roughly 10 to 23 percent between 1980 and 2000. As an only child, Belcher says she grew up independent and liked the privacy she had. However, as a result of not having siblings, Belcher says other people in her life fill the voids. "My dad took that protector role." Balder says. "I tend to look at my friends and hold them closer like they are my family." Being the only child has its advantages and disadvantages when it comes to development. Alissa Fischens, psychologist at Northwestern University, says only children learn to be children by themselves because they do not have siblings to interact with. Fischen says parents and playgroups can help, but children become conditioned to depend on themselves. "Although this self-sufficiency can have its benefits." Escaped it. "Can also mean that only children are inherently alone as their personalities develop. $ ^{a} $ Siblings, whether we have them or not, influence our lives and the decisions we make. No matter the stereotype attached based on our status in the family tree, the roles we play help shape our personal development. $Jp$ Celebrity birth order Barack Obama.

They write of oceans and gardens, conversations between vegetables and games of checkers. Blair, Bartlett, Ill., graduate, majored in creative writing at KU. She holds a creative writing class for women at the Percolator every other Wednesday evening. She teaches similar programs at the Juvenile Detention Center and the Douglas County Jail. This is her dream job, so she's learned to live with the fact that the meager pay makes her eligible for food stamps. Blair is a member of AmeriCorps, an organization that places people in roles of service that are lacking in communities across America. There are two different programs for individuals: AmeriCorps State and National and AmeriCorps VISTA, or Volunteers in Service of America. The State and National level focuses on active and involved community service, and VISTA members work from administrative positions to fight poverty and address the needs of the underprivileged. Each program is based on a one-year contract that provides members with benefits and a modest monthly stipend. After completing the program members receive an education stipend, which they can apply to school loans or future education such as graduate school. Blair, who is in her second year as an AmeriCorps State and National member, is passionate about serving others. She actively volunteered throughout college, including work for Jubilee Café and Alternative Breaks, so she was thrilled to discover a job that would pay her for something she enjoyed doing for free. Blair's AmeriCorps position is based out of the Roger Hill Volunteer Center, 2518 Ridge Court, where she matches volunteers with nonprofit organizations around Lawrence. She uses her skills and interests to benefit others through self-initiated community service projects. Blair's resume includes teaching creative writing, collecting prom dresses for girls who can't afford their own and working with Lawrence High School's hip hop dance team. "All those things and all that experience goes towards my AmeriCorps, but it's also building my job skills," Blair says. "There's a program in California called WritersCorps that I'm applying for. They have visiting artists come and teach creative writing to youth, which is basically what I'm doing, but it's a nice, salaried position." Alexandria Murnan, Pittsburg senior, dreamed of pursuing a career in public service since high school. She is in the midst of the application and interview process for AmeriCorps, which you can begin online at www.americorps.gov. After creating a profile and registering with AmeriCorps, you can complete the eight-step application and two required references. The application is for State, National and VISTA, and you can determine which is right for you by visiting the website and clicking on each program for more information. "I think a lot of the idea of AmeriCorps is that it kind of provides you with professional skills, like a jumping off point." PAIGE BLAIR. AMERICORPS MEMBER The application is time-consuming, Murnan says, and including interviews the process can take three or four months to complete. When you finish the general application, you can choose what organizations to send it to based on your service interest and geographical preference. A list of available positions within State and National or VISTA, appears with descriptions. Murnan applied for adult literacy and service learning positions in Washington, Florida and Alaska and has been interviewing for the past few weeks.

Telling a complete stranger about the most personal experiences of your life may seem weird at first, but therapy can be beneficial to your health. Allevating problems can allow you to regain focus on academics, relationships and other program or organization. State and National member Kendra Davis, Newton graduate, works full time at the Social Service League Thrift Store, 905 Rhode Island St. She collects items from donors and organizes them in the store, barters and banters with regular shoppers and stashes their payments for toy keyboards and old leather belts in the purple tanny pack slung around her hips. Davis works every day the store is open — Wednesday through Saturday. Occasionally she works on related projects outside the store, which currently include preparations for an Earth Day fashion show and establishing donation sites for move-out week at the KU dorms. Davis also works extra hours outside of AmeriCorps as a waitress to supplement her meager monthly stipend of about $800. Living on that amount is doable but difficult, and she says she's willing to exchange a few free nights for a few extra bucks in the bank. "You figure out what your priorities are," Davis says. If your priority is to have lots of free time, then you figure out how to make the $800 last the whole month." Davis' friend and fellow AmeriCorps member Paige Blait, however, got a crash course in budgeting when she returned from a three-week vacation to Costa Rica with $3 left in her bank account. "I was like. 'What am I going to do for the next 12 days? I guess I'll ride my bike to work, and not go out, and tent movies from the library." Blair says. "I feel like that skill will benefit me for the rest of my life because I know how much money I really need and what treats are expendable." AmeriCorps members like Davis and Blair often have the freedom to work a second job, along with the 1,700 hours they must complete during their one-year contract. AmeriCorps VISTAS like Michael Chavez, Topeka alumnus, have a stricter schedule and work about 40 to 55 hours each week. Chavez works full time for KU's Center for Service Learning, 1246 West Campus Rd., on program and curriculum development and co-teaching Communications 201: Introduction to Leadership Studies. Service learning is "combining classroom experience with helping the community out," Chavez says. The program uses service learning to improve the situation of underprivileged students and teaches them how to be leaders. KU students can become service learning certified by taking classes with a service learning aspect, which are listed on the KU website in many areas of study. Loeck became interested in agriculture during a journalism internship in Topeka, but she wanted to do more than write about it. Katherine Loeck, Lincoln, Neb., alumnus, served as a VISTA in Oregon, helping low-income families access fresh food. She worked with the local farmer's market and initiated a community garden project. "I had been looking at the Peace Corps actually, and was pretty far along in that application process and just started thinking about all my experience growing up in this country and the problems I saw with people not taking care of one another here." Loeck says, "I felt drawn to spending my time and energy in the United States, because I happened to be born here for a reason." Loeck's experience provided her with the skills she needed to become a farmer for Kansas City Center for Urban Agriculture, 4223 Gibbs Rd. Farm manager Alicia Ellingsworth says Loeck and other AmeriCorps members she has worked with are diligent and handle situations with tact and maturity. She says she believes it is not necessarily the experience people go through in AmeriCorps that makes them different, but that the type of people AmeriCorps attracts is unique. Whether you're unsure of what to do with your college degree or you just need a little adventure before entering the work force, serving with AmeriCorps provides invaluable service to others while building your résumé and character. "I think a lot of the idea of AmeriCorps is that it kind of provides you with professional skills, like a jumping off point," Blair says, "You have the opportunity to learn a lot of professional skills in AmeriCorps, you get a lot of experience doing things that you could then go on and do as your career. So it's a really nice transition." Frequently asked questions about AmeriCorps and their answers, courtesy of www.americorps.gov Is AmeriCorps like Peace Corps? Yes AmeriCorps is often referred to as "the domestic Peace Corps." Both agencies are committed to service, and both offer challenging and rewarding full-time opportunities. Peace Corps assignments are all overseas, and AmeriCorps members serve only in the US. While Peace Corps Volunteers serve for two years, a stint in AmeriCorps usually lasts 10 months to one year (Some AmeriCorps projects also offer part-time opportunities, and some AmeriCorps members serve more than one term of service.) Do I get paid? For all AmeriCorps programs, members receive a modest living allowance, and some programs provide housing. You may not save much money during your year of service, but most members find the living allowance to be adequate to cover their needs. AmeriCorps members who complete a term of service also receive an AmeriCorps Education Award. What if I'm out of school and not interested in the education award? Can I get that money in cash? If you're part of AmeriCorps VISTA, you may opt for a cash payment of $100 per month of service instead of the education award. All other AmeriCorps members are eligible only for the education award. Can I join if I'm not a U.S. citizen? You must be a U.S. citizen, national, or legal permanent resident alien of the U.S. to be an AmeriCorps member. Is there an age requirement? of there are age requirements. You must be at least 17 years old, although some service opportunities require you to be at least 18. For one of AmeriCorps programs, the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), members must be between 18 and 24 years old, but for most there are no upper age limits. What skills do I need to have? some programs have specific skill requests in certain areas, and others look for a bachelor's degree or a few years of related volunteer/job experience. For others, your motivation and commitment may be the primary requirement. 9 04 22 10 THE BARSTOOL CHALLENGE Thursday April 22nd HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN CASH AND PRIZES DOORS OPEN 9PM $2 miller lite bottles and wells CAVE [test your skills] and dexterity 1200 Oread Ave. 785-843-1200 (located inside The Oread) www.theoread.com CAVE OPEN THURSDAY - SATURDAY $2 DOORS OPEN 9PM $2 miller lite bottles and wells CAVE [test your skills] and dexterity 1200 Oread Ave. 785-843-1200 (located inside The Oread) www.theoread.com CAVE OPEN THURSDAY - SATURDAY CAVE CAVE WIFI NOTICE wescoe wit GUY: If you fall in the lake I'll save you It'll be like Titanic I'll be Leo and you'll be Kate.

Gilling isn't just a way to make great and tasty food, it's also a way to bring people together. Take advantage of the nice weather and have a cookout. You can create a fun and friendly atmosphere for you and your guests to enjoy. Then, you can eat and enjoy! I it's a sunny spring afternoon. The trees are in bloom, the air is warm and a light breeze gusts across Mt. Oread. On this day a young man on the Hill is on a mission. He is determined to grill a lot of meat and it's going to be good. Joel Schmelzle, Onaga junior, is the food board manager for Krehbiel Scholarship Hall. He's grilling 70 pounds of pork barbecue ribs for his and neighboring scholarship hall residents. Working on the hall's double-chambered charcoal grill. Schmelzle is obviously a pro. "Learning to grill is an experimental thing," he says. A self-taught grillmaster, Schmelze improved his craft through online research and trial and error. "Grilling is really an art," he says. "Each time is a different experience. You have to keep the temperature right, cooking everything for a good period of time but not so much that it's dried out." Here are a few important tips to consider before firing up the grill this season. Dealing with food and fire can be tricky. The last thing you want to do is make someone sick. For this reason, you should prepare proper grilling tools and take precautions to make sure everything is sanitary. Barry Dakake, executive chef at N9NE Steakhouse in Las Vegas, says depending on what you're grilling, you should have long and short metal tongs, grill brushes, a thermometer and plateware. Dakake says meats should be stored outside so they don't go bad. He also says you should clean off places you've cooked previously, letting any residue burn off before cooking something new. "You don't want to throw fish on top of a place where you just cooked a steak," he says. Knowing how to heat up your grill properly is an obvious necessity, but if you're working with a charcoal or wood-burning grill it's not always easy. Dakake, who opts to use fruitwood instead of charcoal for grilling, says you need to make sure the grill is "rippin' hot" before you start cooking. "It can get up to 400 to 500 degrees, but you're going to have certain hot spots that you need to find," he says. Don Mauer, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Grilling, says the best way to start a charcoal grill, which he thinks is more flavorful than using a gas grill, is with a charcoal chimney. The chimney, which is a cylindrical metal tube with holes at the bottom and a wire grill inside, is earth-friendly and less hazardous than using starter fluid. "For pyrotechnics, starter fluid certainly puts on a good show," he says. "But there are many who believe the flavor of the petroleum-based fluid carries over into the food." Another issue that inexperienced grillers need to consider is the placement of the grill. Mauer says a grill should always be on a hard, level and fire-safe surface at least 10 feet from anything that can easily ignite. If it's windy, the grill should be placed even farther away from anything that could catch fire. When grilling in rainy weather, don't put your grill in a place where flames can catch a ceiling on fire. Grilling should also not take place in an enclosed space because charcoal emits carbon monoxide, Mauer says. When grilling fresh veggies, Dakake says less is more. You only need to use a little salt, pepper and garlic for seasoning. "Make the flavor nice and gentle. You don't want to mask the taste of the product you're using." Grilling and meat usually go hand in hand, but don't forget that grilling also adds flavor to lighter foods such as seafood, fruits and vegetables. However, you need to take a different approach when handling and grilling these foods. Mauer says vegetables need to have oil brushed on them before going on the grill. He says the oil helps seasonings stay on the vegetables while keeping them from sticking to the grill. Because of the intense heat of the grill, vegetables take less time to cook than meat. "You just have to mark them." Dakake says. "You don't want to grill them so much that they're mushy." For sanitary purposes, Mauer says to keep raw meats separate from raw vegetables and cooked meats. "It's important to be aware of the possibilities of cross-contamination at all times," he says. There's no doubt grilling can produce some amazing food, but there's also a wonderful community aspect to the experience. Mauer says grilling is a guest-friendly activity. "When you're grilling, people can gather and watch and talk as their food's prepared. There's something about grilling that says 'fun.'" Chill-Rubbed Flank Steak Serves: 4 **Serves:** 4 **Serving size:** ¼ steak **Prep time:** 10 minutes plus 4 hours to 2 days to marinate **Cook time:** 10 min to 13 min Cook time: 10 to 12 minutes Ingredients - 1 Tb. chili powder - 1 large clove garlic, chopped and mashed into a paste with $ \frac{1}{2} $ tsp. salt - $ \frac{1}{2} $ tsp ground cumin - 1/2 tsp. sugar - 1 Tb. plus 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce - 1 (½ to 2lb.) beef flank steak, trimmed of visible fat and scored on both sides Directions Prep: In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garlic paste, cumin and sugar. Stir in Worcestershire sauce to make paste. Place flank steak on a plate large enough to hold it, and rub both sides with chili paste. Transfer steak to a large resealable plastic bag, remove as much air as possible, seal, and chill for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days. Grill: Fire up the grill. For a charcoal grill: open the bottom vents. Ignite 6 quarts or $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ pounds charcoal briquettes or hardwood charcoal. When the coals are hot, set up for a one-level high-heat fire (so you can hold your hand 5 inches above the cooking rack for only 1 to 2 seconds). Bring steak to room temperature. On a charcoal grill: grill steak directly over coals for 4 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare （ $ 135^{\circ}\mathrm{F} $ ）. Server Transfer steak to cutting board, and let stand 5 minutes. Holding a knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin slices. Serve. If you're having people over to grill, there's always the risk of being overloaded with things to do and food to prepare. Mauer says the best way to balance the workload is to make it a pitluck. He says he likes to have his guests bring favorite side dishes, salads and desserts. "I provide the grilled food and they bring everything else." he says. For Schmelzle, grilling is a time to relax and hang out with friends. For those who are new to hosting a grillout. Schmelzle says you just need to pick a Saturday and do it. "Go out, get some charcoal and try it," he says. "There is nothing like good weather, spending time with friends and eating food that's been cooked over an open flame."

She takes out her yoga mat, practices a yoga stance and takes deep breaths to calm her nerves. Durgan, Lawrence senior, practices "power yoga," which is a fitness-based type of yoga that emphasizes muscle building, and is taught at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. 1740 Watkins Center Drive. As a beginner, Durgen says she didn't realize she would break a sweat in her classes. "I've only been doing it for a month now and I've seen a lot of changes in my muscle tone." she says. With summer and finals nearing, Durgan says yoga helps her deal with stress management and helps her stay in shape. For beginners, yoga can be intimidating the language can be highly technical and the practice might be overwhelming. However, beginners can gradually discover the benefits and challenges of yoga by practicing. According to the American Yoga Association, there are more than 100 different schools of yoga, all of which have exercising, breathing and meditation components. The term "yoga" means "to join or yoke together" the mind and body in Sanskrit. Yoga is both a physical and mental exercise. Before you begin the practice, think about what you want to gain from the experience, says Katie Harpstrite, yoga instructor at the Yoga Center of Lawrence, 920 Massachusetts St. This will help overwhelmed beginners choose a type that fits their goals and lifestyle. For example, Bikram yoga is practiced in a heated room maintained at about 95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Iygengar yoga, which is what the Yoga Center of Lawrence teaches, uses various types of equipment, such as straps and ropes, to achieve certain positions. Yoga has hundreds of different positions and each pose has a name. Instead of studying the language and terms, Harpstrite suggests beginners focus on the physical practice first and gradually learn each position. "Let the knowledge come as you practice," Harpstrite says. Once you practice on a regular basis, you might discover the benefits of being in a class or find maybe that environment isn't for you. Harpstrite says beginners might find it more difficult to learn yoga from a video or book. She says having a teacher present can help challenge and safely guide you toward improvement. "If you do a stretch and you can't really feel it then you're not really stretching," Harpstrite says. "You have to have that balance between pushing the edge of a pose, but also staying safe and not overdoing it." You might also discover that different yoga instructors have different teaching styles. Seek out a teacher that you prefer working with. Cora Mitchell, Titusville, New Jersey, sophomore, practiced yoga for about three years. She has done Power Yoga and Hatha Yoga, which is slow-paced and emphasizes relaxation techniques. As an experienced yoga student, Mitchell has practiced with various types of instructors. She had one teacher who physically adjusted her body in an attempt to correct her posture. She had another teacher who modeled the correct poses for her. Beginners might not realize they can physically hurt themselves if they don't do a position correctly, so being aware of your body is important. Mitchell says she once pushed herself too hard, strained a muscle in her neck and had to go to a chiropractor. Listen to your body when you're practicing a position — start slow and focus on yourself. Because you're in an uncomfortable position you might be more self-conscious. "Don't feel bad because you're not in competition with anyone," Mitchell says. "You're just in competition with yourself." As you gradually advance in your practice, you'll discover the benefits of yoga. As with any type of exercise the results can vary for each person. For Mitchell yoga was both an exercise and a stress reliever. "It's creating a relationship where your mind and your body are in touch at the same time," Mitchell says. As you practice a particular position your body responds and communicates to your mind whether it's uncomfortable. As she gradually learned to incorporate yoga into her lifestyle she saw the physical and emotional benefits. She says she practiced on a regular basis, ran, lifted weights and are a healthy diet. She gradually lost weight and dropped two pant sizes. There are some misconceptions about yoga, including that it's just for the slim figured and there are common misconceptions about the practice. Meera Patritica Kerr, author of Big Yoga: A Simple Guide for Bigger Bodies and yoga instructor for 31 years, says yoga classes are not full of fit people. Kerr created a plus-size yoga system for those who find traditional yoga poses challenging because of their weight. She says yoga classes are full of adults of all shapes, genders and religions. Yoga is also not a religion — you do not worship any god-like figure and it does not derive from Hinduism, which is a common misconception. "It's actually a science," Kerr says. "These poses have been designed hundreds of years ago to work on different body parts." The philosophy of yoga emphasizes working on the individual. Whether your goal as a beginner is for the physical or emotional benefits, different types of yoga allow you to approach it from many angles. "Get your toes in the water and take what you can absorb." Kerry says. "Gradually, you'll get more and more comfortable."

When I think of certain Asian foods, I often think delicious, but heavy and greasy, Scarlet Orchid, 2223 Louisiana St., offers an Asian fusion ranging from traditional menu items, such as pad thai and chicken teriyaki, to distinctive items, such as pumpkin stewed curry beef and raspberry rum scallops. I ordered the Scarlet Pad Thai that came with potato, vegetable and ham soup. The soup was hearty and the pad thai delivered a slightly spicy and sweet flavor. Instead of a thick, syrupy sauce smothered over the noodles and shrimp, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy the pad thai with sauce that came directly from the noodles, allowing for a fresher, more distinguished taste. Inside the Scarlet Orchid, the brightly colored walls and contemporary setup elicited a sophisticated and serene aura. The service was welcoming and attentive. Not only do prices remain relatively moderate, ranging from $8 to $25, the Scarlet Orchid also hosts breakfast and lunch buffets.

Beth is pictured here (third from left) at her sophomore homecoming dance in 2002. She dropped out her junior year. Beth went on to receive her GED and attend KU. Even though she missed out on traditional high school memories, Beth says she's happy with the decision she made. still remember the phone ringing. It was always around the same time, right after the second class of the day had begun. It was always the same secretary, and she always said the same thing when the answering machine picked up. "I was just calling to let you know Elizabeth Beavers was absent from class this morning." She must have known the Beavers' home phone number by heart. I was still living in bed in the pitch dark of my basement bedroom. My parents had left for work hours ago, and they didn't know I was still at home and not in school. I could have gotten up to go, but I usually didn't. I would let the feeling of disappointment in myself for missing the first class take over and I would shut down. I wouldn't leave the house, or sometimes my bed, for the rest of the day. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy school. I didn't struggle any more than normal with the course work. I didn't drink or do drugs. I had friends and was involved with different groups. I even was in the top five percent of my 350-person class for a while. My family supported me and everything I wanted to achieve. But I was sad and depressed; the death of my grandfather a few years earlier combined with teenage angst left me lacking the will to get up most days. All of the class-skipping caught up to me by junior year. My parents were getting called at work. Our relationship became more and more strained: we spoke less and I spent more time alone in my room. My grades slipped. I found, when you do decide to come in late, you can only sneak in through the janitor's door so many times before getting caught. By December, the frequency of my visits to the vice principal's office had increased dramatically. After a meeting with my parents, school counselor, vice principal and concerned teachers, I vowed to go back and give it my all until graduation. Then one of my best friends told me a teacher compared me to my older, more successful and mature brother in front of a class, "Beth? Oh, she's nothing like her brother." After that, I couldn't go back. The next day, another phone call from the secretary prompted my mom to come home early from work. "Is that it?" All I could do was nod. I was done with high school. The next few days were rough, fielding phone calls and emails from friends and former teachers. My dad barely spoke to me. Even my favorite elementary school teacher, Miss VanHook, called me to see if the rumors from the teachers' lounge about me dropping out were true. After a few weeks my parents accepted I wasn't going back. Always loving and forgiving, they allowed me to continue living under their roof on the condition that I take the next offered GED test and get a job. My mom helped a lot, driving me around the city so I could make the necessary arrangements to take the test as quickly as possible, paying the testing fees and offering much needed moral support. Showing the initiative to get my GED strengthened my strained relationship with my parents. I took the seven-hour test during two days in a cramped room at a community college that was an hour away from my house. There were people of all ages taking the test. For some, it was their first time. Others had taken it before and been unsuccessful, some multiple times. According to the GED Testing Service, only 60 percent of high school seniors pass the test on their first attempt. I passed on my first try. I had my GED by that April, a full year before I would have graduated from high school. I missed out on a lot in that year, which was something I hadn't considered when I dropped out. I didn't get to participate in any of the silly senior rituals. I didn't go to my senior prom. I've never worn a cap and gown and I didn't get to walk across the stage at graduation. No one ever asked me where I would be attending college. And even though I went to school with a lot of my classmates for more than a decade, I was not invited to the class of 2005's five-year reunion. Instead of partaking in the traditions, I spent that year regaining my parents' trust. I desperately wanted to come to KU, but a four-year, out-of-state university is a large investment in a girl who couldn't even finish high school. So I took classes at a local community college and worked a part-time job for a year before transferring. I didn't go out much. You find out who your true friends are when you drop out of high school. I found an anti-depressant that helped and a therapist I connected with. With her help I adjusted from an anxious, angry high school drop-out to a functioning young adult. tell them I'm a drop-out, because they say I don't seem like the type of person who would quit high school. A 2009 study from Northeastern University found that drop-outs are more likely to be unemployed. 63 times more likely to have been institutionalized, four times as likely to come from a family that was below the poverty line and female drop-outs were six times as likely to have had children before the age of 24. I fit none of those stereotypes, but I am a high school drop out, just like 6.2 million other 16 to 24-year-olds in the U.S. People are usually taken by surprise when I Though I missed a lot of things in that year of high school, I wouldn't change my decision. I wouldn't have been happy had I stayed. I had the opportunity to volunteer and learn about myself Most importantly, I'm happy where I've ended up And even though my attendance record is far from perfect, on May 16, I'll finally get to put on a cap and gown and walk down the hill.

HEALTH | 6A WWW.KANSAN.COM CAMPUS VOLUME 121 ISSUE 142 Students sort through Wescoe waste for recyclable items BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com Rain dampened Thursday's scheduled waste audit, but it didn't wash the sorters away. A group of five seniors in the environmental studies capstone course found shelter from the rain under the east side of Wescoe Hall and continued digging through the trash collected from the building, looking at what could have been recycled. Of the 11 bins used to sort the waste, only two were full of actual trash. The rest could be recycled in some way, said Karin Scott, from Dallas. "What's gross about this is how much of it could have been recycled," said Lydia Gibson, from Prairie Village. With 20 bags of trash and 11 blue barrels, Gibson, Scott, Kathryn Boyd, from Wichita; Lauren Keith, from Wichita; Ryan Rastok, from Lawrence, spent three hours sorting through all the trash collected from Wescoe in one day. Students were encouraged to grab a pair of gloves and see what was in their own trash. Caleb Hall, a sophomore from Shawnee, walked by and decided to help out. "It's a good cause," Hall said. "I think if we used less in the first place, the effects would be drastic." Zsolt Mohi, a doctoral student from Budapest, Hungary, asked Gibson questions about recycling and the students' goal. "I am glad to see something being done," Mobi said. "A change of habits is not an easy thing." Rastok walked around the fourth floor of Wescoe and realized students had more chances to recycle than throw items in a trash can. "It would be so easy to throw it in a bin right next to the trash," Rastok said. To show the waste, the seniors built a clear box so people could visually see what makes up the 国中 Karin Scott, a senior from Dallas, carries bags of trash that will be sorted and recycled accordingly as part of Earth Day. Trash sorted in previous years have revealed that 65-85 percent of the trash thrown away at Wescoe could be recycled.

Gatti, a junior from Lawrence and president of the KU Wakeboard Club, takes the boat out every day but Sunday, and brings anyone who wants to join with him. "The first day that we came out the wind was so bad people couldn't sit on the front of the boat without being soaked." Colby Arnold, a freshman from Topeka, said. But on Tuesday's club practice the water had warmed up to 62 degrees and Gatti said the water was "butter." When water conditions are "butter," a term wakeboarders use to describe smooth water, it's the most ideal time to wakeboard. Rough or choppy water conditions make it more difficult to wakeboard and do tricks, he said. Six people joined Tuesday's practice, their background in wakeboarding ranging from first-timers to those who have been wakeboarding most of their lives. Gatti, who has been wakeboarding for about five to six years, said it's not uncommon to teach someone to wakeboard once or twice a week. "I would say about half our members have never wakeboarded before," Gatti said. "We are all always learning and falling and no one minds helping out." Gatti said he gets the same excitement from someone who gets up for the first time as someone who just landed his or her first flip. Tayler Glock, a freshman from Liberty, Mo., was the first to jump in Tuesday. After his first fall, Arnold gave Glock some advice. "Bend your knees a little more then explode like your jumping." Arnold, who has been wakeboarding since he was about 8 years old, said. Glock went on a few more runs, then it was time for his roommate, Max Newby, to give wakeboarding his first try. Newby, a freshman from Shawnee, said he was excited and knew he was going to fall a lot, but was ready to go.

DOWNTOWN Jerry Wang/KANSAN Lawrence's luau organized to rival Manhattan's Fake Patty's Day BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com Those looking to get leid Saturday, rain or shine, can start early — the first Larryville Luau starts at 9 a.m. The lau was started because its creators, three KU students, didn't have a good time at Fake Patty's Day in Manhattan. They decided Lawrence would be a better town for a similar all-day affair. Fake Patty's Day is held every year a week before the actual St. Patrick's Day in Aggieville, Manhattan's bar district. Participating bars open early As of Thursday, the Facebook event for the Larryville Luau had nearly 9,000 confirmed attendees and more than 10,000 who said they might attend. he lauah's headquarters is the Barrel House, 729 New Hampshire St., but seven other bars will also open early to host the event — none of which will charge a cover. in the morning and offer drink specials and giveaways. Other deals include Bud Light specials and prize giveaways. Bryan Spencer, a junior from Overland Park, is in charge of the festivities' sponsors and partnerships with bars and restaurants in 'Irvence. Gavin Smith, owner of Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St., said, his bar would have extra staff starting at 9 a.m. He said Spencer contacted him via Facebook and decided to collaborate when he saw how many people had Since planning for the event started about two months ago, Spencer has collaborated with different sponsors to make and pay for T-shirts as well as getting bars to open early. Some bars are opening seven hours early. Planning for the laua started after Spencer and two of his friends decided Lawrence needed a party to rival Fake St. Patty's Day in Manhattan. confirmed to attend the event. Spencer said a successful day for the luau would be for all the participating businesses to be happy with the turnout. He said he hoped to host the event twice a year if everything goes well Saturday. Spencer said the day of the party may be a bit stressful for him, but that he would like to try to enjoy it like everyone else. Brendan Begley, a sophomore from Wichita and one of the original creators of the luau, said he was worried only about the "Making sure it's a success is what's going to feel good in the end," he said. weather conditions Saturday. "It's supposed to rain on Sat urday night, so we're worried less people might come out because of that," he said. "It's the normal Kansas weather." There is a 36 percent chance of rain Saturday, according the National Weather Service. Throughout the day, the lau organizers will be giving away 100 shirts. Shirts are available online for $15 to $21. The creators of Larryville Luau have paired the event with Midwest Charities to raise money for the Lawrence Humane Society.

The House passed the measure Wednesday on a 31-29 vote, ignoring protests from opponents who said it's casting Arizona in an ugly light and could give the elected secretary of state broad powers to kick a presidential candidate off the ballot. "We're becoming a national joke," Rep. Chad Campbell, a Phoenix Democrat who opposes the measure, said Thursday. The measure's sponsor, Republican Rep. Judy Burges of Skull Valley, said she wasn't sure Obama could prove his eligibility for the ballot in Arizona and wanted to erase all doubts. "You have half the population who thinks its fine, and you have the other half of the population who has had doubts built up in their mind," Burges said. So-called "birthers" have contended since the 2008 presidential campaign that Obama was ineligible to be president because, they argue, he was actually born in Kenya, his father's homeland. The Constitution says that a person must be a "natural-born citizen" to be eligible for the presidency. Hawaii officials have repeatedly confirmed Obama's citizenship, and his Hawaiian birth certificate has been made public, along with birth notices from two Honolulu newspapers published within days of his birth in days of his birth in August 1961. Courts have rebuffed lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility, but the issue hasn't gone away. Lawmakers have introduced similar bills in a handful of other states. They include Oklahoma. "When you undermine the sitting president of the United States, you undermine our nation." where a measure passed the House but failed in the Senate, and Missouri, where a bill was withdrawn before any action was taken. Eleven U.S. House Republicans have signed on to a federal bill, but it hasn't received a hearing in the Democrat-controlled House. ments to be president. The secretary of state could then decide to keep a candidate off the Arizona ballot if he or she had reasonable cause to believe the candidate was ineligible. Arizona's measure would require U.S. presidential candidates to submit documents to the secretary of state proving they meet the constitutional require- Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett opposes the bill, arguing it gives his office too much power, according to his spokesman Matthew Benson. TOM CHABIN Arizona State Legislature Benson said Bennett, a Republican, had no doubts about Obama's citizenship. Brewer will give it her support. He, spokesman, Paul Senseman, said the governor wouldn't comment on pending legislation, but he added she didn't have doubts about Obama's citizenship. The bill now goes to the Senate, where supporters are trying to pull together enough votes to pass the measure. If they do, it's unclear if Republican Gov. Jan Rep. Tom Chabin (D-Flagstaff) pleaded with his colleagues to oppose the birth certificate measure Wednesday. "When you undermine the sitting president of the United States, you undermine our nation, and it makes us look very ugly," Chabin said Thursday. f Get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan.

The recyclable materials will be measured, displayed and compared to the results from previous years. WASTE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) trash. Gibson said she hoped to display the box, which cost $130 and took a few hours to build, multiple times a year so people could see what makes it to the trash. "I hope this box can stick around for five to 10 years," Gibson said. Even if the box falls apart, the results from the audit will be passed on. The group will be able to compare this year's numbers with previous studies in 2004 and 2005. In 2004, 67 percent of the trash could have been recycled. That grew to 85 percent in 2005. The numbers from this year will go to the Center of Sustainability and the Student Environmental Advisory Board for the groups to use for further recommendations and studies on recycling, said Celeste Hoins, Environmental Stewardship Program manager. "Until we actually check out the trash, we don't know what is in it." Gibson said. Edited by Taylor Bern INTERNATIONAL Volcano interrupts Air Force flights Associated Press BY ERIC TALMADGE Associated Press Jerry Wang/KANSAN RAFLAKENHEATH, England — U.S. Air Force officials warned Thursday their biggest fighter wing in Europe could suffer long-term damage if Iceland's volcano keeps belching ash into the skies. The Air Force sent two F-15 fighters on test flights Wednesday and another eight Thursday, but said not enough data had been gathered to resume normal operations, despite the lifting of the civilian flight ban and the return to the skies of commercial airliners. Col. John Quintas, an F-15 pilot who commands the 48th Operations Group, said the test flights all returned safely after about 75 minutes in the air. FRIENDLY WATER POSE Max Newby, a freeman from Shawney, losers his feet from the bindings, or rubber boots that hold the boarder to the board. Tuesday night was Newby's first attempt at wakeboarding after being persuaded by his roommate Taylor Glock, a freshman from Liberty, Mo. WAKEBOARDING (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Gatti and Arnold helped him put the board on properly and prepped him for his first time out. "Relax and let your knees come to your chest." Arnold said. After about three or four runs, Newby was getting tired from all the attempts to stand up. He came in for the day but said he definitely wanted to keep trying. Everyone gave him positive reinforcement and guidance throughout his run. It won't be his last time in the water. Gatti told Newby to let the boat pull him up and try not to turn when the board was under water. Gatti said guys tended to have a harder time standing their first time; girls usually could stand right away. It has something to do with their difference in center of gravity, he said. Tyler Botts, vice president of KU's Wakeboard Club, said that when a first-time rider comes out, the club gives the newbie a few pointers and does what it can to make sure the rookie stands. He said the best advice someone can give to a new rider is just to relax. "Most people tend to over-think it and try to do too much," Botts said. "We tell them to let the boat do the work and not to think about turning — your body will turn a direction naturally." Botts has been involved with the club for two years and said he liked wakeboarding because he competed against himself and because he always trying to get to the next level. Last up for the day were Arnold and Gatti. The two, who are more experienced wakeboarders, strive to throw various tricks when out on the water. Both attempted to do what's called a "double up," which is when the boat driver makes a wide turn and crosses over the wake. Gatti said the trick could get the boarder some extra high air. "The wakeboarder rides on the inside of the turn and he hits the two wakes as they meet, where the wakes can be up to three times the size of a normal wake," Gatti said.

Jerry Wang/KANSAN ___ ALLERGIES (CONTINUED FROM 1A) TREATMENTS Because of the prevalence of allergies throughout the year, a variety of treatments, from shots to over-the-counter medication, are available to help reduce symptoms. Bolden administers allergy injections to severe allergy patients at Watkins. She gives shots to about 50 patients per week and each patient receives between one and five injections per visit. This season Bolden has seen worse reactions to shots with increased allergens in the air. Allergy shots are a form of treatment for people with severe allergies called immunotherapy, in which a patient receives injections with a small amount of the allergens he or she is allergic to. The shot does not contain enough to result in an allergic reaction, but just enough to trigger the patient's immune system. "They are getting a shot of what they are allergic to and they are also breathing the increased allergens in the air," Bolden said. "So we have been seeing more reactions." A mild reaction might be redness, swelling or itching at the injection site. A severe reaction could result in hives, difficulty breathing or swelling of the eyes and lips. It takes an average of five to six years for the treatment to develop a patient's immune system. Eventually, the patient's body may be able to fight off allergic reactions and minimize symptoms during allergy season. Brian Wyrowski, a senior from Olathe, has received allergy shots since his senior year in high school. Spring allergens trigger his reactions, but he has benefited from almost four years of immunotherapy. "It took a while to get to this point, but this is the first year that I haven't really needed much medication," he said. Wyroowski said he is allergic to pollen and sometimes the pollen injection he receives swells and itches. But overall, he said, his symptoms have decreased. Bolden and Frick said the best way to cope with this unusually severe allergy season is avoidance. "I's hard to avoid the stuff," Frick said. "Unfortunately, it's beautiful outside, but stay inside with the windows closed." 2. Animal hair Several over the-counter medications are also available to help relieve mild symptoms, Frick said. But he said if symptoms become severe, the patient should see a doctor and receive prescriptions such as eye drops and nasal sprays. TOP 10 ALLERGY TRIGGERS IN THE U.S. As warm weather increases so will other allergens, Frick said. Tree season usually lasts from mid-February through April, grass 1. Pollen 2. Animal hair 3. Dust mites 4. Insect bites 5. Mold 3. 7 8. Medicine 10. Cockroaches http://www.testcountry.org season occurs from May to early July, and late summer brings weeds such as ragweed, which last until the first solid freeze. Bolden said rain provides temporary relief of symptoms because it cleans the air and rinses away pollen and other allergens. Wyrowski also suggested placing an ice pack over itchy eyes to help reduce swelling and irritation. However, allergies affect different people in different ways, and there is no broad cure or solution. "You just have to find the medicine that works for you," Wyrowski said. — Edited by Anna Archibald WANT TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS? NEW! CERTIFICATE of ENTREPRENEURSHIP WANT TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS? NEW!

WETLANDS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) with Wetland Learners, which is supported by the Kaw Valley Heritage Alliance, the Jayhawk Audobon Society and the Lied Center. Anthea Scouffas, director of education at the Lied Center, said UKanTeach, a certificate program that trains education students in science and mathematics, and other students from the campus have been interested and involved in the program this semester. "The University students add a special energy to the event," Scouffas said. For example, Lauren Ashman, a junior from St. Louis, learned how to break down information for second graders. On her discovery walks down the banks of the wetlands, Ashman had the students use their Wetland Learners provides two very important learning experiences. While the second graders learn about the life cycles of bugs and plants, Archer, an environmental studies major, and other KU students learn about education and small developing minds. five senses to explore. What they couldn't find out by touching or listening to, they could ask Ashman. "They question a lot, but at least they are inquisitive," Ashman, an environmental studies major, said. "Kids are like spoonies." Watching kids soak up facts about crawfish castles and praying mantises reinforced Ashman's plans to become a teacher. She said she wants to teach in an outdoor setting like the wetlands, not the traditional classroom. So her discovery walk today could become a reoccurring adventure in her future. Archer also helped the kids to explore by telling them a story. She told the group of six to close their eyes and imagine with her "I asked what kind of animals live out here, and I had one kid say rhinoceroses because there was land and water." Archer said. "Those things made sense." "They question a lot, but at least they are inquisitive. Kids are like sponges." However, not all the students helping want to teach in the future.

MAYER Carmen Thomas, a sophomore from Olathe, shows off her wardrobe in her dorm room. Carmen enjoys shopping with her roommate Sabrina Stadel, a sophomore from Shawnee. Mount Oread disables The very traditions and the alma mater of this University trumpet the beauty of the hills. The terrain is the biggest challenge to the University's efforts to be more accessible to students with disabilities. Campus rests atop Mount Oread, which is 1,030 feet above sea level compared with surrounding altitudes of about 900 feet. The difference in elevation between the highest point on campus at Fraser Hall and the lowest near Memorial Stadium is about 80 feet, the height of an eight-story building. But topography is just one of many factors hindering access. But topography is just one of many factors hindering access Old buildings present tremendous barriers for physically disabled students. Although the University has plans to improve access to Lippincott and other historic buildings, one of the major hindrances to retrofitting is historic preservation. Bailey, Dyche, Lippincott, Strong and Spooner halls are all registered with the National Register of Historic Places, and they are among the buildings that pose the biggest challenges for the disabled. An even more daunting problem is the lack of money to pay for the maintenance and renovation of older buildings and a backlog of requests. As of 2008, University buildings are in need of nearly $200 million in repairs - leaky roofs, fabric-covered wires, century-old plumbing and crumbling facades. None of these problems will be fixed until the state budget improves, said Jim Modig, the director of the design and construction department. This year, the University received $14.8 million for construction and maintenance compared with $15.4 million last year. The University needs more than $20 million to maintain its 150 buildings and other campus facilities, according to Modig. "We've been real fortunate in that we've had federal stimulus funding." Modi said. "That's been a tremendous help." Dwindling state funds have forced the design and construction department to operate in what Modig calls "crisis mode," meaning that only the highest priority construction projects will be addressed this year. Making sure the University is compliant is near the top of that list. Modig estimated the University has spent more than $5 million on updates since 1992 that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination in housing, education and employment against people with disabilities. That does not account for all ADA expenditures at KU. Steve Ramirez, KU's ADA coordinator, regularly receives complaint calls about building accessibility. An informal complaint is a phone call or e-mail. Ramirez said only two formal complaints have been filed in the past five years, both by KU employees with work-related grievances. Improving services to physically disabled students is also high on KU Parking and Transit's agenda. Donna Hultine, director of the parking department, said she planned to increase the number of handicap-accessible parking spaces on campus and curb the paratransit's inefficiencies by creating a new advisory board, made up of eight to 10 people representing students, faculty and community members. The advisory board would provide a voice for ADA complaints. That idea came from AbleHawks, a student disability advocacy group. It was brought to Hultine's attention that more parking spots were marked accessible than were actually available. A study conducted by the group found that of the 406 spots marked accessible on campus, only 259 were ADA compliant. That's something Hultine says she and the advisory board plan to fix. Redistributing the spots would put more handicapaccessible and van-accessible spaces on campus, making it easier for students with disabilities to get to and from class without climbing campus' steep terrain. "it's good to have AbleHawks come in and say, 'You're not doing it right.' Hultine said. 'It's our intention to do it right.' ABLEHAWKS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) MATT'S DAY ON THE HILL Matt drives his custom wheelchair back down the Wescoe ramp toward his next class in Budig Hall — his blue eyes fixed on the sidewalk before him as a tuft of his blonde hair flies away from his forehead. His wheelchair motor hums in the background. Matt's 500-pound black steel-framed six-wheeler is capable of tilting him 45-degrees backward with the sweep of the four-speed joystick controller that rests in his left hand. The low mechanical hum sounds like air being sucked through a vacuum. In Budig 130, he parks his wheelchair in one of only two handicap-accessible spots and reclines as he walks for class to begin. When campus sidewalks aren't covered in ice and it is not raining (he can't use his wheelchair outside in that weather), Matt cranks his chair to full speed — more than 8 miles per hour — going to and from class. Occasionally, he has to slow down for passers-by as he makes his way to anatomy class in Budig Hall. There, he has to wait for someone kind enough to open the door for him. Like other students, Matt seems to be taking a light snooze as the professor lectures. He says he's really taking mental notes, trusting that his note-taker is jotting down the rest. Matt's day begins at 6 a.m. with the low hum of his handicap-accessible door opening as Megan Ellendick, one of his four personal care assistants, enters his room to get him dressed and prepared for the day. The two work together to strap Matt's arms and legs into a harness that is affixed to his wooden frame above his bed. --the bristles back and forth against his gums and teeth. An electronic controller hoists Matt out of bed and into a rolling shower chair made of plastic tubes and mesh that resembles a foldout lawn chair. She turns off the water, dries Matt off, wraps a towel around him and then rolls him back to the harness that lifts him into the bed. There, Ollendieck dresses Matt and helps him back into his wheelchair. Matt rolls to the bathroom where Olliendke puts the toothbrush in his right hand, which he then presses against his left palm and glides Ollendieck removes his pajamas, rolls him into the bathroom for a shower and helps him wash. Ollendieck combs his hair, and the hour-long process of getting ready for the day is complete. Eating allows Matt more independence, despite the limited dexterity of his fingers and hands. He uses Velcro to attach the spoon or fork to his left hand and then clamps the utensils against his right hand, stabs his food and carefully raises it to his mouth. Although his fork-gripping harness makes eating easier, Matt still has difficulty with foods that are too loose or too soft like rice and soup. Mrs. E's Dining Hall staff members help by scooping food onto his plate and cutting it into smaller pieces. Occasionally, Matt's bladder bag gets so full the release switch doesn't work. If that happens, he telephones Sabolil Chakraborty, a friend and resident assist in a nearby residence hall, who helps empty his bag manually. Matt often jokes about using his leg bag in pickup lines. Matt's light grip makes picking up a glass virtually impossible. Instead, he takes a swig from the blue mouthpiece that rests between his forearm and bicep. The mouthpiece is attached to a straw-like tube that extends from a water bag hanging from the back of his wheelchair. If his tube falls off his arm, he has to ask someone to pick it up and put it on his arm so he can nudge it up to his mouth. Urinating is something Matt manages on his own, thanks to a tube connected to his bladder through an opening just beneath his navel. The tube feeds a storage bag that is attached with Velcro to his right leg. It's hidden underneath his clothing. The bag collects urine, and Matt can empty it himself by aiming the drainage tube into a toilet and flipping a small release switch on his wheelchair. "Hey baby, why don't you come over here and help me drain my leg bag?" he jokes. "Who else could come up with that?" "If you can do it, try to do it," he explains. "But if you need to do something or get somewhere quickly, asking for a helping hand is not a problem." KU JAYLIFT PARATRANSIT The University of Kansas A simple trip to the bathroom requires a bit more time and personal assistance. Matt says he chooses not to drain his bag on campus, not because he cannot access the bathrooms, but because he prefers to pee in private. Shannon Currv. a junior from Lawrence exits the KU Jaylift that takes her to Blake Hall for class. Currv. CARMEN'S LIFE WITHOUT ARMS Carmen Thomas, 19, a sophomore from Olathe, finally arrives 10 minutes late to her 8 a.m. class in Fraser Hall, after waiting several minutes for the bus. When she reaches Fraser, no one is in the hall to open the door for her. It isn't the first time she's been late. She parks outside the classroom door in her wheelchair. She asked the professor to keep the door open, but she must have forgotten again. She moves her head back and forth, hoping someone will catch a glimpse of her and let her in. After several minutes of motioning, someone finally sees her and opens the door. Carmen asks a classmate to pull out her notebook behind her chair and place it on the table in front of her. She reaches in her pink Coach purse, bites down on the clear plastic tube fitted over the pencil eraser, and begins jotting down notes with her mouth. Because parking her wheelchair accessible van on campus can cost more than $200 per year in some lots and handicapped parking spaces are scarce, Carmen rides Jaylift — a service offered to permanently and temporarily disabled students. The bus picks students up 20 minutes before their classes. But that doesn't leave Carmen enough time to return to the dorms in time for lunch between classes. This year, Jaylift received more than $182,757 in student fees, nearly 8 percent of KU Transit's budget. MV Transportation, the company that runs Jaylift, reported an on-time performance rate of 94 percent for last January and February. That includes a total of 21 late rides in February out of 354 rides, according to an e-mail from Mike Sweaton, MV's general manager. Being late don't seem to faze Carmen. Just being a Jayhawk is a dream come true. Her brown eyes and bright smile seem to light up beneath her shoulder-length brown hair as she explains how much she loves KU and Kansas basketball. She's missed only one game in two years. --bed and walks to the bathroom where Sabrina Stadel, her personal care assistant and roommate, helps with her morning routine. Carmen was born with bilateral amelia, a disease that left her without arms. Some victims also lose their legs. Doctors diagnosed her with the disease 13 days before she was born.

Thomas, who has bilateral amelia, has used notes, sending text messages and typing on her laptop. Sabrina squeezes a pearl-size drop of toothpaste onto a toothbrush and places it between the first two toes on Carmen's right foot. She glides it across her teeth and gums with a sweeping motion. After both roommates are dressed and ready for class, which takes more than an hour because Carmen likes to be fashionable and is picky about what she wears, the two head to Mrs. E's where Sabrina feeds Carmen breakfast. Carmen can feed herself with her feet, but she opts for help in public. She says it's more polite than taking off her shoes in the cafeteria. Carmen types on her computer pushes buttons to open doors and sends text messages with the help of her mouthstick, a piece of plastic on top of a short rod fitted with a rubber cap. Everything in her dorm room from sinks and faucets to doorknobs and cabinet fixtures have been lowered so Carmen, who stands about 3 feet tall, can reach them. The room was custom fitted for her. To exercise, Carmen rolls over the side of her wheelchair and onto the plum-colored velvet couch in her room and onto the floor, where she walks on both legs. She occasionally does Tae-Bo, which is similar to kick boxing. Before she came to the University, her doctors and parents worried about the physical challenges this campus would pose. Everyday, Carmen embraces that challenge and demonstrates that through her writing. She started writing with her mouth in kindergarten, and she began writing short stories and later fiction and poetry (2) $S_{\triangle ABC}$ is a triangle with vertices A, B, C.

Carmen dreams of using her applied behavioral science major to bring independence to autistic children — independence she wishes she had. BRIAN'S DAY: ONE STEP AT A TIME Brian Smith, a 23-year old senior from Oklahoma City who has cerebral palsy, calculates each step in an effort to balance his body and propel himself forward — right foot down, left toe out, right insole down. He tries pushing his heel down manually, but he eventually relies on the click of a button connected to an electronic device strapped to his leg just below the knee that does it for him. Brian, who stands about 5-foot-5 with knees facing inward and his back bunched slightly forward, deliberately moves to put one foot in front of the other. From beneath a red and white KU cap that covers his dark brown hair and shades his thick prescription glasses, Brian explains that each movement feels tighter than the average person's. Brian, who was diagnosed after suffering a brain hemorrhage at birth, has extreme stiffness in his muscles — just one neurological disorder affecting those with cerebral palsy, according to the National Center for Neurological Disorders and Stroke. It restricts his movements but is not degenerative, as long as Brian attends physical therapy. Traveling to and from class on a daily basis is problematic for Brian, given the effort that goes into just stretching his muscles enough so he doesn't have to walk on his toes or trip over his own feet. --it cool when that happens. His roommates help with some everyday tasks, such as tying his shoes or butting his shirts. For Brian, just putting one foot in front of the other requires rigorous training. Every Monday and Friday, Brian visits Marc Hunley, his Lawrence-based physical therapist of four years. To ease some physical challenges, Brian has a note-taker for several of his classes. He requests separate and extended time on exams and occasionally asks people to help him carry books and bags. Brian also uses a computer device that functions like a printer to write out his exams. The device connects to his desktop and prints his essays as Word documents. For tests, Brian circles the answers, and professors fill in the bubbles on the Scantron sheet. Brian lies face up on a cold brown massage table, as Hunley grabs his hand and stretches it as far away from his body as it will go without injuring him. The process is mildly painful, and by the end, Brian's hand is tired. He pulls Brian's leg up and over his shoulder, the other remains flat on the table. Hunley then puts his hand on Brian's chest and extends his left arm 45 degrees away from his torso to increase the range of motion in his arm. Some days he's so exhausted after therapy that his roommates have to drive him home. Technology helps him in the classroom and remedies part of the physical strain posed by campus topography. The combination of Brian's limited dexterity, uneven sidewalks and steep inclines have occasionally caused Brian to fall or drop things, but he's learned to play That's a light day for Brian. His most excruciating sessions include about 25 minutes on a treadmill. The running joke with his friends: "He's drunk during the day" Though he remembers when the jokes directed at him were not funny — being made fun of and being treated as if he were mentally challenged — he's now able to laugh at himself and stay positive. SHANNON LOSES HER WAY "I'm not a person with a disability. I'm just Brian," he said. "That's all I'll ever be." After lajyll dropped her off on campus for her first day of class, Shannon Curry, a nontraditional student from Lawrence, stepped off the bus and into an unfamiliar world of dim light and shadows. She attended new student orientation and heard the mobility instructor's directions on how to get to her class in Wescoe. But actually getting there was another story. She stepped onto Wesco Beach where Jaylift dropped her off and began feeling her way, tapping her cane along the sidewalk toward what she thought was the entrance to Wesco. But Shannon really had no clue where she was. Shannon worries she'll veer off the wrong path again, only next time down the steep stairs near Wescoe. "I'm not worried by bumping into something in my apartment," she said. "I know where the obstacles are there." Shannon, 28, sees only light and shadows. She was born with leber congenital amaurosis, an inherited retinal degenerative disorder that causes severe loss of vision at birth, according to the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Shannon is the only one in her family with the disorder. Outside her apartment, Shannon uses her cane as a feeler. With her red and white 5-foot cane extended in front of her, Shannon taps along the sidewalk feeling for objects ahead. Not being able to find her way from one end of campus to the other disappointed her. She is more comfortable, mobile and independent in her cozy apartment, where she and her roommate, who is in a wheelchair, share household responsibilities. Luckily, a good Samaritan pointed her to the right classroom. For regular routes, she memorizes the terrain, but that can be complicated by crowds of students on the sidewalks. She knows the routes to her classes and the location of one bathroom and a vending machine in Wescoe. She can walk to the Hy-Vee grocery store from her apartment. Although she occasionally gets lost, Shannon said having people pull her cane or physically point her in the right direction frightens her. "If someone grabs it, there goes that," she said. "Now I'm relying on you to make sure I don't fall down the stairs or something." --hearing about Matt's struggles to enter buildings on campus, Carmen's troubles with Jaylift, Shannon's wrong turn and Brian's battle with Shannon loves to read. She consumes any literature she can cram into her audio device — science fiction, romance and fantasy — anything to escape the drudgery of studying for classes. Online resources that don't provide full text articles frustrate her, and databases that use only pictures are virtually impossible for Shannon to decipher even with a screen reader. Her tasks are further complicated because she does not use all of the aids offered to her. She types her papers and projects on her computer from memorization and chooses not to use Braille textbooks, which can take up several volumes. She relishes the opportunity to demonstrate her independence. She left the watchful eye of her parents to live in an apartment in Lawrence. She even moved to Virginia to seek full-time work, only to be turned away by employers who she says were unwilling to let her show what she can do. Like Shannon, other students with physical disabilities continue to succeed on a campus not designed for it. Take Matt, whose scooter can get him to Wescoe on time, only to be thwarted by a door he can't open. Or take Carmen, whose ride on lajlayt gets her to class, but late and with a closed door still in her way. Or Brian who relies on a notetaker to give his sore and tired muscles a break and whose legs struggle to conquer a steep hill just to get to class. While these and other accommodations help provide access to a KU education, the stories of Matt, Carmen, Brian, Shannon and others like them demonstrate that accessibility means more than just removing architectural, landscape and transportation barriers. It means finding ways for these students to be independent, to do things for themselves, to feel abled rather than disabled. As Shannon puts it, "I don't like to rely on other people if I can do it myself." - Edited by Lauren Keith COMMENTARY I tried it: My day in a wheelchair I will not answer the question with a direct response. The provided image is too blurry and pixelated to accurately recognize any text or graphics. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. Howard Ting/KANSAN Carnez Williams, a senior from Wichita, uses an old two-door elevator to access the third floor of Lippincott Hall. However, the elevator is not located in Lippincott, and he had to enter a building behind Lippincott to access the elevator. That building is then connected to Lippincott through a skyway. the terrain challenged me to view accessibility in ways I previously had not. Within just a few hours of being in a wheelchair, I notice how much more effort everyday tasks took to accomplish. As an able-bodied person, I have been privileged to move about without thinking about the physical barriers that stand in the way of the disabled. Being in a wheelchair for a day was a way for me to understand, only in part, the challenges of being physically disabled at this University. Breakfast is anything but fast. It takes extra time to reach the fruit baskets, cereal dispensers and juice taps that tower above me in Mrs. E's. Getting food to my table becomes a balancing act: one plate on my lap, one drink between my knees. After eating, I move toward the wheelchair ramp near the entrance and try to propel myself up. I move a couple feet before I realize the ramp is too steep to climb, but I want the full experience. I want to know what it's like to be disabled. I try the ramp, again, without success. A friend offers to push me. I do not want him to, but the incline is so steep that I accept his offer. I push the handicap-accessible door opener on the way out. I can do that myself. He flips a switch and reduces the air pressure in the tires. The ramp kneels in front of me. I push myself up the narrow ramp. I pull up to the line and wait to catch the bus. I move toward the open bus door and wait for the driver to release the wheelchair ramp. He doesn't see me. I yell up at him, "Hey, I need on!" The bus driver clears the way for me to roll through the aisle to the wheelchair-accessible seat. The bus driver gets out of his seat to buckle me in. He fumbles with my belt and chair looking for the overhead buckle. People sigh and look annoyed. The bus is nearly full, and students are still climbing on. Leaving for campus takes longer than usual. People stare. Heat envelopes my face and hands. I'm embarrassed. People on the bus know I'm able-bodied. Just hours into my venture on campus my hands begin to cramp, my arms are sore from pushing myself forward, my butt aches from sitting in the chair so long and my feet and legs began start going numb from not being used. The physical strain of rolling myself around campus is made worse by my blistering palms, jammed fingers and stiff wheels. Such inconveniences are surpassed only by my encounters with uneven sidewalks, manual doors I cannot open, having people stare at my struggles and having to ask perfect strangers for help. Of these, asking for help is the toughest. I can be somewhat proud, and stepping outside my comfort zone to ask others for help is not part of my plan. That is, until I run into Nick Rattliff, who in part inspired this story. He asks me how it's going. Tougher than I thought, I tell him. I explain how my hands are throbbing, my arms ache and my legs are numb. He shows me his hands. They're bright red with blisters and covered in dirt. He says he's used to it. I'm rolling across Wescoe toward Budig when I meet Nick, who has spina bifida and is in a wheelchair. I tell him about my attempt to spend a day in a wheelchair. Before we part ways, I ask him if he has any advice for me. "Ask for help whenever you can," he says. Ironically, I've avoided that all day. Indeed, Nick's advice helps me get through the day. I begin asking perfect strangers to push me up steep inclines and corroded curb cuts and to open doors I cannot. Even so, by the end of the day, I was exhausted. Either so, by the end of the day, I was exhausted. I catch the bus back to Daisy Hill and brave the stretch of sidewalk leading up to my dorm. My hands are throbbing, sore to the touch, my arms feel like they're going to fall off. My whole body is aching. The last stretch of sidewalk from the bus stop to my dorm looks more like the last 100 meters of some great marathon than just slabs of concrete. Once in my room I stand up, stretch my legs and walk away from my wheelchair. All I can think about are those students who cannot.

During the making of the first "Iron Man," Samuel L. Jackson was invited to film a quick scene in the role as "a tag," the name for those short (and often funny or sequel-suggesting) snippets of film that roll after the credits. The Fury tag was especially fun because in Marvel Comics, the modern incarnation of spy-chief Fury was in fact modeled after Jackson — which made the "Iron Man" after-credit scene one of the most memorable ever, right up there with "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Napoleon Dynamite." fun to get Sam since the comics version of Fury is based on him," said "Iron Man" and "Iron Man The tag also one heck of a job audition, for Jackson signed a nine-movie deal with Marvel Studios to make his fictional espionage czar the unifying crossover character as Marvel moves forward with the plan to "In the film he has a significant role and becomes the entry point to connect Tony Stark to ...

MUSIC Haggard shows softer side MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INDIO, Calif. — Parking at the Stagecoach festival was a journey to the dark side for all concerned this weekend. Even a musician of Merle Haggard's stature got caught in the fracas, his bus pulling in about an hour behind schedule to the area in back of the Palomino Stage, where he would play later in the evening. But the esteemed singer and songwriter was relaxed when I caught up with him on the bus. Haggard's new album "I Am What I Am" came out last week, and "it's pretty personal," Haggard, 73, said. "There're not a lot of politics. I guess it's a little more from the heart than the last few albums." and he spoke about the intimate tone of many of the homespun songs. There's no flash, little outward fire in the gentle collection. There's a sweetly reflective remembrance about growing up in Bakersfield, "Oil Tanker Train"; a song about his home in Northern California, "Down at the End of the Road"; and a bittersweet observation that love is "Pretty When It's New" general tone of songs of the heart and hearth is "Ive Seen It Go Away," the new album's lead track. Without throwing barbs, he gently but sadly notes how the best of what defines America to its citizens and the rest of the world has, over time, "gone away." The one exception to the Is the man famously "proud to be an Okie from Muskogee" getting disillusioned with the land he's loved for so long? "Some people might say that," he said.

"There was a lot of mystique surrounding them. They were supposed to be hard to catch. But while this was happening, fishing was becoming much more popular generally and because it was a small country generally and more people interested, it became less of an escape." In India he began to hunt for a fish called a mahseer. He wrote some articles about that battle, which led to working as a part-time journalist and a copywriter.

EDITORIAL BOARD University to feel the loss of some faculty members THE MUSIC BAND OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT BROADWAY STREET Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Drum majors lead the Marching Jayhawks down to Memorial Stadium. Scott Weiss, director of the Marching Jayhawks, will be leaving KU for a job at South Carolina W with the departure of Scott Weiss, successful director of the Marching Jayhawks, to a more prestigious job at South Carolina, the student body has to wonder. Why are these great educators leaving? It is understandable why a professor or faculty member might leave the University for a more prestigious or lucrative position at another institution, but we wish that such great staff would stay. Karl Brooks, a well-known In the three years under Weiss's direction, the Marching Jayhawks grew by 73 members, improved collaboration with the Athletics Department and networked with high school bands across Kansas But Weiss isn't the first member of the Jayhawk faculty to recently announce resignation from the University. associate professor of history and environmental studies, was appointed by President Obama to lead Region Seven of the Environmental Protection Agency, to direct "operations in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and nine Tribal Nations," the EPA main site reads. Brooks has taught thousands of students in the school of law, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and graduate studies. His classes range from environmental law to American legal history and American culture and politics. William Tsutsui, associate dean for international studies, is leaving the University to take The Lawrence Journal World reported on Feb. 1 that he plans to return to the University when his post is up, after Obama's tenure in office, and we hope he does. the position of dean of Dedman College at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Tsutsu is a scholar and instructor in Japanese history. The Dallas Morning News reported that Tsutsui will begin his job at SMU on July 1. Students should wish Weiss and Tsutsu good luck with what appears to be bright careers. And we hope Brooks decides that a return to the University after his post is a plan for the near future. The loss of these educators will be felt on campus. Their respective departments now need to concern themselves with how to replace such renowned instructors and continue to provide students with a quality education. James Castle for The Kansan Editorial Board EDITORIAL CARTOON TWENTY YEARS OLD FUELBLE TRAILING AND STILL A STRONG INVESTMENT NICHOLAS SAMBALUK HUMAN RIGHTS Pursue goals despite cynicism I'll be the first to admit it: I am one of the many hope-to-do- good-for-mankind students here at our University. Some people enjoy laughing at or patronizing "naively idealistic young people," such as myself. It is easy to get discouraged listening to disparaging cynicism. Williams is a force to be reckoned with on the activist scene. Not only did she do fantastic work that earned her the Nobel Prize, but she continues to work on numerous campaigns. She founded the Nobel Women's Initiative, which consists of six of the seven living women who have won the Nobel Peace Prize. (An San Suu Kyi is not an active member, because of her house imprisonment in Myanmar for her role in the Burmese Democracy Movement.) Near the beginning of April, Jody Williams, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for her work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, visited the University. Then, every once in a while, something or someone comes along to remind us why we cling to our dreams. This group of women is a united --- Rights and the Law The most fascinating thing I found about Williams was her immense success in grass roots campaigning. She didn't start out with a lot of money or power. She was just a normal person with a passion for helping people and protecting human rights. front that uses the individuals' experiences in activism and peace-making to further promote efforts for peace and justice. BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansan.com Seeing an average person accomplish great things in the name of human rights can serve as an inspiration for every student at our University. When telling her story, Williams encouraged students by saying that it doesn't take a genius or a millionaire to make a difference in the world. It all starts with caring about something and then doing something about it. Williams came to campus as part of the Center for Community Outreach's Into The Streets Week, a string of activities dedicated to getting students more involved in volunteering in the community Sometimes people underestimate the effect of community service or grassroots campaigning. In truth, community service is so much more than a resume-builder. It increases awareness about community issues among volunteers and demonstrates the importance of helping others. Volunteers have contributed a great deal to the organizations they help. And where else can a movement begin than at the grassroots level, in the hands of the people? Williams began her activist work at a meeting in a church basement. It does not matter what you are passionate about; her story serves an important lesson. If you care and are willing to try, chances are you will do something worth being proud of. Cosby is a sophomore from Overland Park in political science. ETIQUETTE Maintain manners in skies As I write this column I am about 20 thousand feet in the sky flying toward Chicago Midway Airport. From Kansas City; this is a journey that used to take an entire day to complete. Now it's a quick 45 minutes, or, approximately one gossip magazine. Flying by myself, I've gotten to thinking about airplane etiquette and how passengers should behave to make traveling as bearable as possible. What exactly is airplane etiquette? Where is the line drawn between being an annoying flight-mate and a conscientious one? Let's start with what airplane etiquette is not. It is not falling asleep, leaping to the side and breathing on the poor person who unwisely chose the next seat. It is not forcing someone to talk when they have other things to accomplish and are obviously not in the mood to converse. It's not using others' space for your belongings, blaring music on an iPod at an unreasonable level or getting wasted on the plane with strangers. Basically, it's not any of the things that would be annoying in regular, everyday life. The rules of plane etiquette should be common sense. But, if they were, I wouldn't have to address them in this column. There are aspects of airplane etiquette that are up for debate. The one that first comes to mind is whether it is right or wrong to recline an airplane seat. It is my opinion that unless it is an international, seven-plus hour flight, there is no reason any person needs to recline his or her chair. Reclining passenger chairs creates an adverse chain reaction. If the person in front of me reclines his chair, I ultimately feel smushed and want more space. To compensate, I recline my chair, where the person behind me likely comes to the same Manners Made Easy PETRA KING BY RICHELLE BUSER rbuser@kansan.com Another classic air travel problem: When mothers and fathers allow unruly children to interrupt an otherwise peaceful flight. In this case, let it go. Honestly, even if there is a baby crying or little girl throwing a tantrum, I have the option of not having to deal with it as soon as the airplane has landed. Those parents deal with the stresses of their child 24 hours a day. Although I don't have any children of my own, I'm sure an inconsolable child is already plenty embarrassing for parents. Why be a jerk and add to the problems by throwing in a snarky comment? As with all matters of etiquette airplane manners are about being considerate of others and maintaining a consciousness to what makes fellow passengers most comfortable. With a little effort, everyone can enjoy their travels together before parting ways for their final destinations. Buser is a senior from Columbia, Ill., in journalism. I get it. Some people are "more comfortable" with a reclined seat, but I suppose I've never really seen that much of a difference when my chair sits an inch and a half farther back. I have, however, surely noticed a difference when my knees are forced up against the chair. And I'm relatively short! I can't imagine what this scenario is like for someone more than six feet tall. conclusion I did only moments be fore. The best defense against this domino effect of discomfort is not to recline your seat to begin with. Dodging the draft isn't matter of skirting duty LETTER TO THE EDITOR A mix of emotions and thoughts filled my mind as I read the letter titled, "No pride in draft dodging," which was published on April 22. Besides the initial shock, I couldn't decide whether to be of fended or just disappointed by the seemingly skewed view the author has on history and his country. The letter expressed the author's disapproval of how draft dodgers were positively portrayed in 'The Kansan's look at campus culture during the '70s. The author believes the U.S. backed out of Vietnam due to an apparent, "absolute failure of our leadership to lead us to a path of clear victory." As if there was some obvious goal or enemy to defeat, some straight line on a map with a big "x" that said "Get here and win the war!" The reason the U.S. "failed" in Vietnam is because the soldiers were fighting for something that could never be won. Practically the entire civilian population of South Vietnam wanted to become part of North Vietnam, a communist state. The Vietnamese saw Americans as enemies because they were trying to impress their beliefs on them. But, because the U.S. had a political anti-communist agenda, we stayed and tried to force some thing that the majority of the population did not want. After a while, our government was so far in and so many had died that it could not easily back out. This is why the war continued on far longer than it should have. The draft dodgers of the '70s saw the inhumanity of the battle the U.S. was fighting and they had the courage to stand up against their government for something they believed in. These people risked their own freedom in hopes of ensuring the freedom of others. Despite what the letter's author may think, this is something to be proud of and retold because of its historical and cultural significance. Our country was founded by people with similar courage; they disagreed with their government and did something about it. A true patriot is not a blind follower, but a person who questions the actions of his government to ensure that the opinions of its people are properly represented. - Tom Bukovac is a senior from Olathe HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to opinion@kansan.com.

A 8A NEWS / TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM STATE Controversy surrounds Kansas prescription drug trial ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA — Prosecutors plan to portray a Kansas doctor at his trial as "the candy man" who illegally provided painkillers to drug-addicted patients to boost his bottom line. Meanwhile, defense attorneys claim he's a compassionate health care provider who gave high doses to chronic pain sufferers because that's what they needed. Jury selection started Monday for what could be a two-month trial for Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife and nurse Linda Schneider. The couple is national patient advocacy group that claims federal prosecutions have made doctors so reluctant to prescribe drugs that patients suffer needlessly. The couple is charged with illegally prescribing drugs linked to dozens of deaths. The Schneiders are charged with conspiring to illegally dispense prescription drugs, defrauding health insurance programs and patients and money laundering. They face four counts of illegally prescrib- charged with illegally prescribing drugs linked to dozens of deaths, but they've found champions in a In a sweeping indictment, the government ing drugs that contributed to 21 deaths, but court documents tie them to 47 other deaths as well. claims the 56-year-old doctor, who was also known as "Schneider the writer" peddled drugs to make money, sometimes giving prescriptions to patients who had already overdosed on the same medications. The indictment describes his clinic as a "pill mill" that was open 11 hours a day every day and scheduled patients 10 minutes apart. Schneider ignored warning signs that patients were abusing, diverting or becoming addicted to medications, and his clinic did not change its practices despite patient's deaths, the indictment said. Linda Schneider, 52, forged her husband's name on prescriptions and bragged to job applicants that the clinic wrote more narcotics scripts than any other in the state, it said. The Schneider Medical Clinic was a sprawling medical facility with 14 exam rooms, a Mexican decor with two water fountains and sky dome in the lobby. But the indictment said it was poorly run, with medical records often missing Defense attorneys, however, described the clinic as state-of-the-art and the couple as devoted health care professionals who provided medical services the community needed. They deny the Schneiders caused any deaths, and Lawrence Williamson, the attorney or incomplete and inexperienced physician assistants receiving little supervision. support from the New Mexico-based Pain Relief Network, a nonprofit patient advocacy group created to help lawyers protect doctors against prosecutions that it describes as government persecutu for Stephen Schneider, said federal prosecutors have unfairly portrayed him as "an evil person." The indictment describes his clinic as a "pill mill" that was open 11 hours a day every day and scheduled patients 10 minutes apart. "He is not. He is a human who has been affected by the government overreaching in this case," Williamson said. The Schneiders have received tion. The group says federal prosecutors have made many doctors afraid to prescribe the high doses many chronic pain patients need to lead normal lives. The group's president, Siobhan Reynolds, is the subject of a separate grand jury investigation for alleged conspiracy because of her involvement with the Schneider case. Her initial refusal to turn over e-mails and other subpoenaed documents led to a contempt citation and $36,500 in fines before she relented and turned over the material. "Win, lose or draw," she said before the trial started. "I know that these lawyers gave it all they had, this family gave it all it had, and I and my family gave it all we had. And you just can't do better than that." U. S. Attorney's office spokesman Jim Cross declined to comment other than to say the government's case will be laid out during its opening statement. Larry Wall, a malpractice attorney who represents the families of several of the Schneider's patients, declined to comment as the case went to trial. But he said the nation, overall, has been flooded with narcotics in the past 10 years. "I think that would argue against the proposition that doctors are afraid to prescribe," he said.

TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 2010 Kansas places last in Big 12 WWW.KANSAN.COM Jayhawks struggle in Big 12 Tournament MEN'S GOLF | 3B PAGE 1B MOUND REBOUND Jayhawks ready for recovery After the weekend loss against Texas Tech, Kansas looks ahead to Wichita State KA Freshman pitcher Thomas Taylor pitchers during the first inning against Missouri at Kauffman Stadium on April 21. Taylor struck out eight batters in just over five innings. He did not play as well against Texas Tech this weekend, surrendering three runs in two innings on Sunday. Taylor and the other Javahays need to channel their Kaufmann success to heat Wichita State tonight. BY BWARD bward@kansan.com twitter.com/bm_dub The need for a short-term memory crosses the boundaries of nearly every sport. A pitcher who gets battered around needs to take his lumps, swallow his pride and focus on the next time he takes the mound. Tonight against Wichita State, Kansas' (25-16-1, 6-8-1) pitching staff is aiming for a rebound performance after Texas Tech battered it for 32 runs in two games over the weekend. "I'm sure our pitchers are anxious for the opportunity to get back on the field and redeem themselves," coach Ritch Price said. "It's really important to just try and flush it as best you can," redshirt freshman Thomas Taylor said. "We need to forget about it, but also remember it in a way, and not let it happen again." Not only the pitchers are happy for the quick turnaround. The other Jayhawks, who enjoyed a solid weekend at the plate, are equally eager to get back on the field. "We've got to let this go," junior shortstop Brandon Macias said of Sunday's setbacks against Texas Tech. "It's huge for us, especially coming off a couple losses here. We need to get ourselves back on track," junior third baseman Tony Thompson said. But ultimately, the pitching staff will need to deliver for Kansas to return from Wichita with a victory. Taylor, who will start for the Jayhawks, was one of many pitchers who got shelled by Texas Tech. Taylor surrendered three runs in two plus innings on Sunday. Coming off of his best collegiate start - 5 2/3 innings of shutout ball against Missouri on April 21 He was one of many Kansas pitchers who had been strong for nearly two weeks before being flattened by Texas Tech.

Dorn came 5.000 miles from Soporun, Hungary, four years ago to play for coach Amy Hall. Halt BY KATHLEEN GIER kqier@kansan.com Four years ago, Dorn traveled more than 5,000 miles to Lawrence from her home in Sopron, Hungary. She came to the University on the good word of a friend on the team, Edina Horvath, and the trust in coach Amy Hall-Holt. The University has given her the opportunity to continue playing the sport she loves, and it was through the tennis team at Kansas that Dorn found another family and another home. With graduation just a few weeks away, Dorn wishes she didn't have to leave. Every tennis player has a reason they play, whether for exercise at the simplest level, or if they are lucky enough, playing for a college team. For senior Kuni Dorn, playing tennis gave her the opportunity to succeed at the collegiate level, but it was also an escape from a dangerous neighborhood in Hungary. Eventually, it was a way out of her home country and a passage to a new life. STARTING TENNIS Dorn started playing tennis when she was five years old. Her father played tennis as a hobby in Hungary, and taught Dorn how to play, keeping her safe and occupied from the dangerous distractions in their neighborhood. FOOTBALL "Where we used to live, the neighborhood wasn't that good, so my mom didn't want me to have a lot of free time and go with friends and do bad stuff," she said. Dorn developed a strong talent for tennis and at just 12 years old joined the Hungarian National Team. After years of competing, Dorn said she burnt out. But her parents stood by her side to keep her on track, encouraging her to succeed. "All of the summer, I needed to practice and it was really hard sometimes when everyone else was going to the swimming pool and I had to practice. But they always reminded me of my goals." Dorn said. "My dad, who was In high school, Dorn said she started realizing how difficult it was to become a professional tennis player, so she decided to pursue another goal: to play tennis at a university in the United States.

Reesing remains undrafted hopeful Safra Almazan BY MAX VOSBURGH The NFL draft has come and gone. Kansas players Darrrell Stuckey, Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier were all drafted. However, one well-known Kansas player wasn't. Quarterback Todd Reesing, who holds nearly every quarterback record at Kansas, went undrafted. This wasn't a surprise. In fact, there was probably only a very small chance that he was going to be drafted in the first place. Right now is a crucial time in Reesing's potential professional career. Immediately following the draft conclusion, undrafted players began receiving calls from NFL teams offering contracts. Undrafted defensive back Justin Thornton received one of these calls and was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. It is still to be seen whether Reesing will receive a similar opportunity. Some people think he's too short to be a quarterback in the NFL. Listed at 5-foot-11 by KU Athletics, Reesing would be one of the smallest quarterbacks in the NFL, which is problematic because a quarterback needs to able to see over the large linemen. Because linemen in college are much smaller than they are in the NFL, a quarterback as short as Reesing can be successful in college, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will be in the NFL. Reesing's combination of passion and energy was displayed in nearly every college football game he played in. He fist pumped the air after many of his 90 career touchdown passes. With degrees in Finance and Economics, it would appear Reesing has the intelligence needed to be a successful professional quarterback, as well. Consider that Reeing was never one to let a few guys in front of him block his view downfield. He is a scramble. He is very mobile and can move around to find an open line of vision if he needs to. At 200 pounds. Reesing is also much lighter than many of the defensive ends and linebackers that would be tackling him in the NFL. Reesing has taken plenty of big hits during his career at Kansas but he's never had to miss time with an injury. Other quarterbacks with similar physical features have found a way to be successful in the NFL. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was the 2015 Super Bowl MVP and his backup, former Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel, are both listed at 6.0" 321867 2.9 U< 172447 Despite skepticism from NFL coaches and scouts, Reesing is look to play football anywhere that will have him. The Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders are in contract negotiations with the former Kansas quarterback, according to The Regina Leader-Post, a news paper from Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan. It's definitely encouraging news for Kansas fans. Remember, former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie, who stands at 5-foot-10, played in the Canadian Football League for eight years before he was selected to play in the 1998 NFLI Pro Bowl. 7 17 7 — Edited by Anna Archibald 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2B SPORTS TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "I'm just trying to hit the ball hard... ...

Associated Press The mighty will (and did) fall MORNING BREW Crowning teams as all-time greats is always a tenuous proposition, but never more so than when the team in question still has games to be played. Then, a funny thing can happen, which throws a wrench in the whole coronation ceremony: They can lose. It happened to USC, when Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush's Trojans were toppled by Texas. It happened to the star-studded Lakers when the additions of Gary Payton and Karl Malone couldn't get Kobe and Shaq past the Pistons. And now, half a world away, it's halfway done happening again. This time, in European soccer. FC Barcelona, winner of every trophy it has been in contention for this past season, dropped the first of its two Champions League semifinal games last week to Inter Milan. Normally, a team losing at the San Siro stadium to Inter Milan (even with a score line of 3-1) would not be particularly surprising. Inter boasts world class talent and a dominant home-field advantage. In Jose Mourinho, the Italian giants also have a manager widely considered to be the world's best. Don't believe me? Just ask him. Mourinho's skill is matched only by his hubris — and even then it's close. But even giving Milan its due, Barcelona had to be considered the favorite. It's not just that Barcelona had been PARKER BY ALEX BEECHER abeecher@kansan.com beating everyone — it's the attacking flair with which the victories have been hammered home. That attack is powered by Lionel Messi, Soccer fan or not. Messi's superlative skill is impossible to miss. He's called the Little Wizard and, cliché though it may sound, some of his on-field exploits can only be explained via magic. Usually, when discussing the best players in any sport, the term "arguably" is used a lot. Not with soccer, and not right now. Messi is the best, and second place isn't very close. Although neither Messi nor his teammates have used it, there is an excuse for Barcelona's defeat. Due to travel complications caused by Iceland's volcanic activity, the team had to drive to the game on a bus. The trip took the better part of three days to complete, and almost certainly left Barcelona's players feeling — if not outright beat — at least a little stiff It's also worth noting that Barcelona's players have invoked the always popular "blame the officials" clause in explaining THE MORNING BREW the loss. It's worth noting, but not really considering. Milan plays a more physical brand of soccer than Barcelona is used to seeing in Spain, and officials will allow for such play in European games. To borrow the always quotable Mourinho's words, what happened "was not a dream, it was reality." And no excuse suitable explains the result. Milan did deserve to win. The best retort, perhaps, is the one offered by Barcelona's manager, Pep Guardiola. He said simply: "We'll see them next week." And indeed, the two European superpowers will face off again on Wednesday, with work still to be done for Milan. A giant, even half slain, is still difficult to fell.

As much as he was looking forward to another three-game series in New York, he was thinking ahead to the Kentucky Derby this weekend. Someone asked him about Homeboykris, suggesting he was a 50-1 choice. "My horse? 72-1," Torre quickly corrected, reminding everyone that ouds on boyovkiris had risen from 40-1 in December. He may be used to managing favorites in the dugout, but at the track he's a long shot. diversion. He attended the Breeder's Cup twice at Santa Anita, but can't find time during the baseball season to go to the track because he gets to the ballpark so early. He grew fond of horses because of his Yankees bench coach, Don Zimmer. Torre remembered back to his first season managing the Yankees, when Zimmer invited him to Pimlico on a trip to Camden Yards. "I said, 'No. Here's a couple hundred bucks,'" Torre "She didn't get out of the gate, and I knew there was nothing there." Torre's next JOE TORRE Dodgers manager While the pressure of managing the Yankees became a grind from 1996-07, especially when he failed to win the World Series after leading New York to four titles in his first five seasons, Torre is more relaxed since taking over the Dodgers before the 2008 season. tortres next game in New York was pushed back when the Los Angeles Dodgers' matchup with the Mets was postponed by rain Monday night.

So he sort of hooked Torre visited Homeboykris last week for the first time, making a trip to Churchill Downs when the Dodgers were in Cincinnati. He purchased a 10 percent stake in the horse shortly after Homeboykris won the Champagne Stakes for 2-year-olds at Belmont Park last October. Louis Lazzinnaro and Jack Mandato, a supporter of Torre's Safe at Home Foundation, had owned Homeboykris, so Torre bought in.

The Jayhawks scored 58 strokes over par as a team, five strokes behind 11th place finisher, Missouri. "Obviously it was a rough week for us," coach Kit Grove said. "It was just bad. There is no other way to sugar coat it." Oklahoma State won the tournament for the fourth straight year with a score of 19 under par as a team. Chris Ward of Texas Tech took the individual first place honors and finished nine under par. Ward won the tournament by two strokes over Peter Uhilein of Oklahoma State. From an individual perspective, the tournament was much closer than the team tournament, with Oklahoma State finishing 13 strokes ahead of second place Texas A&M. Junior Nate Barbee placed 27th, the highest for the Jayhawks.

Hackenberg finished at 28 over par in his last college tournament. He shot two rounds of 75 and 76, but two scores in the 80s landed him in 88th place. "I'm just thankful that I got to play here at KU," Hackenberg said. "It was a fun experience and I learned a lot." FIFA Despite a strong regular season, which featured seven top fives finishes, including first place tie and two second place finishes, the Jayhawks are excited about what next year will bring. With the exception of Hackenberg, the entire team is returning and will include three incoming recruits. "We have a lot to build on for next fall with everyone being so young," Barbee said. "We should be very competitive." - Edited by Michael Holtz Africans hope for World Cup glory MCCLATHEY-TRIBUNE Standing on a circle or grass outside Benfica's Stadium of Light in Lisbon is a larger-than-life statue of Eusebio, arguably the greatest soccer player ever to come from Africa. The "Black Panther," as he was known, was born in 1942 in what was then Lourenco Marques and is now Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. But in a glittering 21-year career in which he was named Europe's player of the year in 1965 and in which he was the top goal scorer at the 1966 World Cup in England, Eusebio da Silva Ferreira never once represented the land of his birth. He played club soccer for Benfica and his national team was Portugal. In those days, Mozambique was merely a colony, an offshoot of Portugal itself, and the idea that Eusebio could lead it to World Cup glory was laughable. Times have changed. In about six weeks, South Africa will stage the first World Cup to be played on the African continent. It has been an 80-year wait, but Africas time has finally arrived. On June 11, at the vast and calabash-shaped Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, the monthlong tournament will kick off after opening ceremonies that will feature Nelson Mandela, probably President Obama, Pele, and almost certainly Eusebio himself. The "Black Panther" visited the city ahead of the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2009 and in an interview, said. "I was born in Africa and I am proud that a country in the region where I came from will be hosting the World Cup next year. It will definitely be one of the greatest ever" Among the 32 participating World Cup teams are six from Africa: Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Nigeria and South Africa. Among the leading players on those teams are striker Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast's Elephants, forward Samuel Etoo of Cameroon's Indomitable Lions, and midfielder Michael Essien of Ghana's Black Stars. Like Eusebio before them, all three ply their trade in Europe, along with hundreds of other African players who, in their migration north, have not only made their name — and in some cases their fortunes — but have enriched the European leagues in which they play. But it has not really helped Africa. Not so far, anyway. Africa might produce some of the world's finest players, but the continent has yet to find its mark at the World Cup. No African team has ever progressed beyond the quarterfinals, a plateau first achieved by the Roger Millain-inspired Cameroon team at the Italia '90 World Cup. In that event 20 years ago, Cameroon startled the world on a sunny June evening in Milan when it defeated reigning world champion Argentina, with Diego Maradona in the lineup, 1-0, in the tournament's opening game. Mourners gather for Meier's brother's funeral ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE FOOTBALL A funeral service Monday for former Kansas State quarterback Dylan Meier drew more than 1,000 mourners in Pittsburg. The 26-year-old was hiking in Arkansas last week when he suffered a fatal fall at Whitaker Point, also known as Hawksbill Craig. Meier started the first five games at quarterback for Kansas State his senior season in 2006 before Josh Freeman took over the position. The Pittsburg Morning Sun reports that Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder was among the speakers Monday at the service at Memorial Auditorium. Meier came from a football family. His younger brother, Kerry Meier, was drafted Saturday by the Atlanta Falcons after breaking records as a Kansas wide receiver. Older brother Shad Meier was a tight end at Kansas State and had a six-year career in the NFL. Congratulations to the Class of 2010!

APRIL 27. 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM --- BASEBALL GAMEDAY Shockers are among the best in Missouri Valley IN-STATE MATCHUP KANSAS AT WICHITA STATE 7 p.m., Eck Stadium KANSAS OPENING PITCH AT A GLANCE The weekend series started so well for Kansas (25-16-1, 6-8-1) with a 10-2 victory but ended with disappointing 11-8 and 21-10 defeats against Texas Tech. Now the Jayhawks head to Eck Stadium in Wichita to face a Shockers team that is 17-4 at home. Thompson PLAYER TO WATCH B Junior third baseman Tony Thompson Thompson struggled to fully regain his timing at the plate - until the series against Texas Tech. Thompson went 5-for-9 over the weekend with six RBI, four walks and six runs scored. He also blasted his third home run of the season, a towering shot to straightaway center field. If Thompson can continue that pace, the middle of Kansas' lineup should put up a ton of runs. QUESTION MARK Will Kansas' pitching staff rebound from a disappointing weekend? Will Kansas' pitching staff rebound from a disappointing weekend? The mistakes made against Texas Tech are fixable, but by no means a guarantee. The Shockers' offense isn't truly comparable to the Red Raiders but is still potent enough to provide another test for the Jayhawk pitchers. If Kansas' pitchers can consistently throw first pitch strikes and limit walks, they have a great chance of success. BY THE NUMBERS 47 — hits allowed in three games against Texas Tech 10. 00 — Kansas' team ERA in three games against Texas Tech Brian Heere 2. 60 Kansas' team ERA for the five games prior to the Texas Tech series GAME OUTLOOK The in-state rivals normally play it close, but Kansas easily took both match ups last season, winning 8-0 at Hoglund Ballpark and 8-3 at the Eck. If the Jayhawks can get a strong performance from their pitching staff, the offense should supply enough run support to take home the victory. WICHITA STATE OPENING PITCH AT A GLANCE Wichita State has had an up-and-down season, but the Shockers are still 10 games above the .500 mark. Last season the Jayhawks swept the Shockers, but Wichita State did make the NCAA Tournament after winning the Missouri Valley Conference tournament. PLAYER TO WATCH Cody Lassley As the Shockers' leader in home runs and runs batted in, Lassley has been the key to the team's success this season. If Lassley can carry K est' the Shockers in this game, they have a chance of winning. The match up with Kansas' Thomas Taylor should be interested if the game is at a critical point. W Can the Shockers limit mistakes? Lassley QUESTION MARK The Shockers and Jayhawks always play competitive games, and usually it comes down to who limits mistakes. Wichita State has had a problem with errors early in the ballgame. If that continues, then the Shockers will certainly lose. 4 — Errors in the loss to San Jose State Ben Ward BYTHE NUMBERS 3-7 — Record against D-1 opponents from major conferences 8 — Runners left on base against Kansas State last week Tobin Mateychick Mateychick comes into this game with a record of 2-0 in eight appearances this season. In his last start against Kansas State he pitched four and 1/3 innings and received a no decision in the game. His last win was against Tabor College on March 31.

Taylor, expressing the kind of short term memory a pitcher needs, said he's eager to take the mound tonight. "Before the weekend I'd been throwing the best I've thrown all year," he said. "So I want to build off of that and get over this weekend." - Edited by Sarah Bluvas COLLEGE BASKETBALL New Clemson coach Brad Brownell made the announcement Monday.

Associated Press KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 2010 / SPORTS NBA 5B Orlando sweeps Charlotte With Howard on the bench, Magic maintained lead ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dwight Howard kept collecting fouls, and all the Orlando Magic did was become the first team to advance in the NBA playoffs. Vince Carter scored 21 points, Jamee Nelson added 18 and the Magic showcased their depth and pressure shot-making in a 99-90 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday night to complete a sweep of their first-round series. Howard was held to six points in his fourth straight game in foul trouble, but the Magic never flinched to accomplish their first four-game sweep in franchise history. Orlando will face the Atlanta-Milwaukee winner in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Tyrus Thomas scored a career Tyrus Thom playoff high 21 points for the Bobcats, whose focus will now almost immedi- ately turn to nomadic coach Larry Brown's future with the team. Howard did grab 13 rebounds but was limited to 23 minutes before fouling out for the second straight game. The Magic, though, got key contributions and big shots from others. Rashard Lewis scored 17 points, Matt Barnes added 14 and Orlando held Stephen Jackson to 2-of-11 shooting to make sure Charlotte would be the only team not to win a first-round game. Nelson's 3-pointer less than a minute later — after Gerald Wallace missed two free throws — put it away for the Magic, whose only previous playoff sweep was a 3-0 victory over Detroit in 1996. (Dwight) Howard did grab 13 rebounds but was limited to 23 minutes before fouling out for the second straight game. They made quick work of the Bobcats, whose first playoff appearance turned into a miserable offensive exhibition. Charlotte couldn't take advantage of Howard's long stints on the bench and now has to wonder if its coach will be back. Brown's wife and children live in Philadelphia, and Brown could hold true to his word if he left for a job such as team president with the 76ers and hired his own coach. After Charlotte cut Orlando's lead to one on Tyson Chandler's two free throws, Mickael Pietrus hit consecutive 3-pointers directly across the floor from Bobcats owner Michael Jordan's seat to put the Magic ahead 83-76 with 5:47 left. Asked during his pregame media availability if this series could help the team in the future, a cranky Brown snapped it would Brown, in the second season of his 13th head coaching job in college and the pros, said two weeks ago that Jordan is "the only guy I'm going to coach for." But Jordan said last month he wouldn't hold the 69-year-old Brown to his contract if he wanted to leave for family reasons. be "stupid" to think about next season, while he continued to bash Charlotte's deficiencies. They were magnified by Howard's absence. The fourtime All-Star's endless foul trouble entering the game made him the focus of ribbing in the morning shootaround. Teammates told him instead of Superman, his nickname was now "Foul on You." Howard played along in raising his arm and clenching his fist as if to call a foul. But while Howard joked around, coach Stan Van Gundy was more serious. He had Howard watch video of his frustration fouls on Sunday, and stressed he had to keep his cool against Charlotte's wave of three physical centers. It didn't work. Howard was called for two fouls in 16 seconds.

He picked up his third for challenging D.J. Augustin after he had released a reverse layup that turned into a three-point play. With Howard on the bench, the Bobcats built a 38-31 lead on the strength of Thomas, who hit his first eight shots. The Magic maintained the lead. After Chandler smothered Carter on his drive to the hoop and was called for a flagrant-1 foul, Carter hit two free throws to put Orlando ahead 77-73 with 9:35 left. Howard checked in a minute later, and stayed on the floor until he fouled out with 54 seconds left, finishing with 22 fouls in the series. Bucks win, even with Hawks in first round NBA ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE — Carlos Delfino scored 22 points with six 3-pointers and the milwaukee Bucks pulled off their second straight playoff surprise, beating the Atlanta Hawks 111-104 Monday night to draw even in the first-round series. Johnson scored 29 points, reserve Jamal Crawford had 21, and Smith had 20 points and nine rebounds. Salmons was 10 for 10 from the free throw line. The Bucks finally started getting to the free throw line and they made the most of it, hitting 28 of 32. Brandon Jennings scored 23 points and John Salmons added 22 for the Bucks, who survived a fourth-quarter surge led by Atlanta stars Joe Johnson and Josh Smith. Now the Hawks head home for Game 5, desperately needing a win to stave off a surprising challenge by a team missing its best player, injured center Andrew Bogut. Delfino went 6 for 8 from 3-point range, including a 3-pointer from the corner to put Milwaukee ahead 97-88 with 3:56 left. Smith missed inside and Jennings grabbed the rebound, then hit a floating jumper at the other end. It was yet another subpar performance away from home for the Hawks, who struggled on the road in the regular season and haven't performed well on the road in recent playoff appearances. Atlanta beat Milwaukee in convincing fashion the first two games of the series, but the Bucks blew out the Hawks in Saturday's Game 3. Layups by Al Horford and Johnson later cut the lead to five with 1:41 remaining, but Milwaukee's Kurt Thomas made one of two free throws, then took a charge by Crawford with 1:20 left. Atlanta did a better job responding to adversity Monday, but still not good enough. Horford fouled Salmons, who hit both free throws to give the Bucks a 103-95 lead with 1:05 to go. Atlanta couldn't get much closer because Milwaukee kept hitting from the line. After burying the Hawks with a sizzling start Saturday, the Bucks started strong again taking a 28-25 lead in the first quarter. Little-used big man Dan Gadzuric gave the Bucks a jolt at the end of the third quarter, emphatically blocking a shot by Johnson and then making an acrobatic layup to give Milwaukee an 85-74 lead going into the fourth. After burying the Hawks with a sizzling start Saturday, the Bucks started strong again, taking a 28-25 lead in the first quarter as Delfino went 3 for 4 from 3-point range. Atlanta responded better than it did Saturday, though, and trailed by only four at halftime. It started out as a strange day for the Hawks when their team bus was hit by a car as they rode back to their hotel from a morning shootaround. Nobody on board was hurt; and Hawks coach Mike Woodson ATLANTA HAWKS GAME 4 Monday, at Milwaukee ATLANTA HAWKS MILWAUKEE BUCKS MILWAUKEE BUCKS Milwaukee 111, Atlanta 104 (Series tied, 2-2) NEXT GAME: Wednesday, at Atlanta 7 p.m., Fox Sports South said the woman driving the car and the young boy riding with her appeared to be OK as well. Woodson jumped out of the bus to help immediately after the accident. "I jumped out and went over to the car and opened the door, and the little kid had climbed out of his car seat," Woodson said before the game. "There was smoke coming from the airbags, so I grabbed the kid. And the mom, they got her out, and we gave the kid back." MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS Royals bullpen holds off Mariners KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kyle Davies allowed only one infield single in six dominant innings and Kansas City handed Felix Hernandez his first loss in 10 decisions Monday night with a 3-1 victory over Seattle. Billy Butler homered leading off the seventh against Hernandez (2-1), who had won nine consecutive decisions since losing 6-1 to Cleveland on Aug. 23. In seven innings, he gave up three runs — two earned — with three walks and seven strikeouts. Davies (2-1) threw 63 strikes with his 108 pitches, walked three and struck out five before turning a 2-0 lead over to the bullpen starting the seventh. The sparse crowd which sat through fairly heavy rain in the early innings grew expectant when the right-hander took his no-hit bid into the sixth. But with one out and Rob Johnson on first with Davies' second walk, Ichiro Suzuki slapped a bouncing ball toward the right side of the infield. The ball slowed in the wet grass as second baseman Alberto Callaspo came running in. He scooped it up with his glove and he heavened it to first, but the fleet Suzuki was a couple of steps quicker. A two-out walk loaded the bases but Davies ended his night by getting Jose Lopez on a Kansas City's much-maligned bullpen preserved the shutout until former Royal Mike Sweeney's pinch RBI single off Kyle Farnsworth with two out in the ninth scored Milton Bradley, who doubled off Kyle Farnsworth. Bruce Chen came in and got his first career save when Ichiro fled out. deep fly to left. The Royals got an unearned run with the help of Hernandez's throwing error in the first. After Scott Podsednik singled, Butler grounded back to the mound. But Hernandez threw the ball into center field as Podsednik went to third and later scored on Jose Guillen's single. MLB Bats come alive for Tigers ASSOCIATED PRESS Cabrera's tiebreaking homer off hard-throwing Neftali Feliz (2-1) was a 399-foot shot that landed in the Rangers bullpen in right-center. Inge followed with a blast to left, his second homer of the game. ARLINGTON, Texas — Miguel Cabrera and Brandon Inge hit back-to-back homers in the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers beat the Texas Rangers 8-6 Monday night after blowing a five-run lead. Phil Coke (3-0), the third Tigers pitcher, worked 1 2-3 shutout innings before Jose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth against the top of the Texas lineup for his sixth save in seven chances. Inge's two-run shot in the fifth, his first of the season, put Detroit up 6-1. Coke took over with one out in the seventh after the Rangers had loaded the bases off Joel Zumaya. The left-hander struck out Josh Hamilton on three pitches before giving up a two-run single to Vakimin Guterro that tied it at 6. David Murphy had a two-run double and a run-saving catch after he entered the game for Texas in the top of the sixth for right fielder Nelson Cruz, who reaggravated a right hantring that has bothered him for the past week. The Rangers said Cruz is day to day. Detroit,which wrapped up a 5-6 road trip, led 4-0 after the first four batters of the game reached and scored off Matt Harrison.

In 2009 the University spent about $10.3 million on steam, natural gas and electrical energy. Campus energy audit Facilities Operations monitor meters for energy consumption BY BRENNA LONG blong@kansan.com For an entire day each month, Josh Hackathorn, instrumentation technician with Facilities Operations at the University, treks to every building on campus to read its meter. He jots down the line of numbers — sometimes as many as seven numbers — that represents how much steam power the building sucked up for the month. The 12 men who work in this sector of Facilities Operations play an important role in the way energy is used on campus, yet often they go unnoticed. Energy consumption, including the steam power the meters measure, costs millions of dollars for the University every year, so the job of tracking it is vital. In 2009, the "We have the meters in an order that we do them," Hackathorn said. No map exists that shows where the meters are located, but after five years of experience Hackathorn has a mental map of the meters' locations on campus. Changes in the numbers on the meters signal a red flag that something is awry. This gives Facilities Operations a chance to fix the problem before it burns through more energy. The workers who read the meters can sometimes tell when the numbers aren't right, but it's the job of steam shop supervisor Vernon University spent about $10.3 million on energy, said Scott McVey, energy conservation and utility manager at the University. That energy consumption also spans electrical and natural gas used campus-wide. "Every penny the cost of electricity goes up, that means more than a million dollars for the University," McVey said. "Meter reading is a pretty ho-hum job," said Haid, who has been plant supervisor for the past 20 years. "But I think it is an important thing because then we know where we are at and how much steam we are using." Haid to conduct a line-by-line audit of the numbers. After Haid has a complete list of the meter readings for the month he double checks any discrepancies or "dyslexia" as he calls it, and he sends the paperwork to McVey who then has the job of tracking all the energy used.

At Tuesday's city commission meeting, commissioners approved an ordinance that will place four 15-minute meters in the middle of each block downtown. The ordinance was generated after a request by several downtown business owners, including Meritrust Credit Union Branch Manager Chris Lowery, who said that 15-minute meters would increase turnover and make it easier for the public to have quick access to stores on Murrayville Street. City commissioner Robert Chestnut said it was a good thing to experiment with and that it was something the commission had wanted to try to for the convenience of quick shopper. Although the majority of the commissioners supported the advantages in convenience with the new meters, others such as Mayor Mike Amyx, expressed some concern. Amyx voted against the ordinance. "I think that one of the things that is concerning to me is to make sure we're not actually taking away parking," he said. Amyx said adding 15-minute meters may just take away from already limited parking spots because any of the two-hour meters could be used as short-term meters anyway. Serene Hakin, a junior from Overland Park, said she visited downtown several times a week and usually stayed down there for more than 15 minutes. She said that most of the time if she needed to just run into a store or grab something quickly, she wouldn't even put money into a meter. If she did, it was usually only a nickel.

Smith Hull consumes the least at about the same as eight U.S. homes. From his closet-sized office at Facilities Operations, which is located to the west of Watson Library and behind Stauffer-Flint Hall, McVey can see all the energy figures in charts and Excel spreadsheets on his computer. But looking out his lone office window he sees the greatest energy hog on main campus: Malott Hall. Science buildings require extensive ventilation and lab equipment, which have to be in place for safety. McVey said. In 2009, Malott consumed about 57 million kilo thermal units or kbu. For perspective, McVey said in a year Malott uses as much energy as 606 average U.S. homes and costs the University more than $1 million or about 10 percent of the University's entire energy budget. In the opposite direction of McVey's window view sits Smith Hall, which uses the least amount of energy of all the classroom buildings on campus. Using about 785,000 kBtu in a year and costing the University only $15,050, Smith consumes as much energy as only eight average U.S. homes. Regardless of whether McVey can see the building or not, as a KU alumnus he is familiar with campus. Just like the meter readers, experience gives him an advantage when examining the statistics. "It definitely helps to know where all the buildings are that I monitor," McVey said. Those figures can show him anything he needs to know. In general, campus is broken down into different electrical categories. Lighting and ventilation take the most energy, and after that cooling, computer use and water heating are the big ones. As improvements occur across campus, Haid, the plant supervisor, said he noticed the changes. Two years ago new insulation was installed in buildings and the numbers immediately reflected that. More energy efforts including changes in lighting, insulation and plumbing will continue to lower energy consumption as part of a new contract with Energy Solutions Professionals in Overland Park, McVey said. The annual savings should add up to $2 million. "Every Btu we save on steam, the better off we are," Haid said. "We keep trying around here to go the extra mile to make everything more efficient. The energy budget is astronomical." Even with millions spent on energy, compared to other Big 12 schools the University is on the lower end. The University pays 15 $2.17 a year per square foot, while other schools such as Texas and Colorado spend more than $4. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is the only Big 12 school to have the University beat — by 18 cents. METERS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) The University's energy costs per student is $442. Colorado has the highest cost per student among Big 12 schools at $1,231 per year. Mike Watkins, senior plumber for Facilities Operations, enters a tunnel under the Art and Design Building. He took a monthly energy reading Monday But Josh Welfla, a junior from Reading, said he spends less than 15 minutes when he goes downtown. Welfla said he thought the new meters would be more convenient and wouldn't take away Haid said he thought more could be done. He and his crew are always looking for ways to save energy. Just the little things such as turning off the lights and lowering the temperature could make amazing differences, he said. "Don't say 'Oh well. They will see it eventually.' If you see something wasting energy, tell us," Haid said. Daniel Johnson/KANSAN Edited by Kirsten Hudson from parking because the garages were always available. "There would definitely be more turnover in parking," Weltha said. "It would be easier for people to get down there to do things." According to information organized by city staff, the meters will cost $3,400 to paint and to change the time mechanisms. It will cost another $5,640 to add meters to the two-hour lots because of the added cost to install poles. Additional pavement markings and signs will cost even more. The meters will be painted yellow, and the words "15 minute" might be painted near the rear of each stall to help distinguish them. The $3 overtime fines will remain the same. The ordinance was open for public input at Tuesday's meeting as well as a previous public meeting. Fewer than five members of the public spoke at the meeting Tuesday night. Commissioners voted 4-1, with Mayor Amyx as the only one to vote against it. "It will an education process," Amyx said. The meters could have a greater relevance for some businesses than others, but Hakin said she probably wouldn't be too bothered by the additional meters. "I don't think it will make much of a difference at the end of the day," Hakin said. - Edited by Megan Heacock PLATFORMS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) attend games while out of town. Had the proposal gone through, it would have lowered the overall price of the pass by $15. The coalition also wanted to increase student seats for big games. The coalition's plan didn't make it through, but Heilman said Athletics sold tickets for $10 during winter break to community members and students who didn't buy the all-sports combo pass. He said there were about three or four games at which there were more student seats available. "That's a huge part of being in this position, being able to compromise." Heilman said. RECREATION CENTER REQUIREMENTS The Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center put in place the coalition's proposed three-allowance policy in January. The policy allows students to enter the recreation center if they forget their student ID up to three times, as long as they have some other form of identification. Heilman said the student recreation advisory board played a major role in implementing the system. "They were really the impetus for them to start looking into the new system, which they've wanted to do, but just needed the student backing." Heilman said. Ian McGonigle, chair of the recreation advisory board, said the board had also proposed a biometric finger reader system that would go into effect by fall break 2010. He said that between fall break and winter break students will be able to bring in their KU ID and have their finger scanned. After that scan they will not need to bring an ID and will simply scan their finger to enter. TEXTBOOK NEGOTIATIONS United Students wanted to extend the full refund date for textbooks at KU Bookstores from 30 days to two months. It also wanted to allow students to return opened prepackaged books for a partial refund. He said he didn't know if his advice was taken into consideration, but said he had the opportunity to give KU bookstores feed back from a student's perspective. Heilman said that the plan did not go through, but that he had offered the stores advice on how they promoted themselves, performed refunds and bought back books. TUITION REFUNDS Another platform United Students proposed was a class "shopping week" in which students would receive a full refund for courses dropped during the first week of classes. After the first week, the refund scale would be gradual. Vice President May Davis said in an e-mail that she and Heilman offered the Registrar's Office about five different scenarios to improve the refund policy. Heilman said the registrar was hesitant to follow through with the plans in a time of budget crunches. EAGLE "To me that's not a concern I share because I think that's not money they should have anyway," Heilman said. "But that did provide them with enough justification to not move forward." Heilman said that now the registrar had some options and maybe in a better financial climate it would focus on that. "Overall I think it's been a successful year," Heilman said.

On April 16, the other boot dropped as Jackson went Hollywood, getting his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a personal milestone he celebrated immediately after unveiling the star with a small-scale performance for several dozen fans just down the street at the Hotel Cafe.

Sixth St., with the intention of buying only bread and eggs. Vo.Dodge Citysenior, saw an array of vibrant colors as she walked past the fruits and vegetables. The enticing aroma of chicken traveled from the deli section and into her nose. She walked past the fresh flowers displayed in a rainbow of colors. She continued down the aisles, placed a pan, drinks, straws and baby food for her 10-month-old daughter. Sadie, in her cart. The rich smell of freshly baked bread filled the air as she headed toward the back of the store. She placed a loaf of bread in her cart, continued browsing the aisles and added milk and laundry detergent. She arrived at the check-out counter and the cashier totaled her items. "I was supposed to grab eggs and bread, but I ended up spending $64," Vo says. Vo did exactly what supermarkets wanted her to do — she bought more than she originally planned. From the store layout to the placement of products, supermarkets use marketing tactics to get us to buy more and more expensive items. When you're on a budget, being a conscious consumer may stop you from placing that last impulse item in your cart. Supermarkets study consumer behavior because they want to arrange the store in a manner that's convenient for their customers, says Michael Williams, professor of marketing and director of the Academy of Consumer Excellence and Sales in Oklahoma City, Okla. Although supermarket layouts vary, most supermarkets generally follow a similar store pattern. Williams says stores are largely focused on making a good impression on the shopper's pyche from the time he or she enters the store. For example, in the Hy-Vee at 4000 W. Sixth St., the fresh produce is easily accessible and near the entrance. In recently built supermarkets, the fresh produce is generally near the entrance, followed by the deli and bakery section, the frozen meat is adjacent from the food aisles and the dairy section is located near the back. Supermarkets are intentionally built this way to increase the chance that customers will buy more than they intentionally planned, says Michael Barr, professor of business psychology at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. He says retail stores create a "plan-o-gram," or illustrations of where items should be displayed throughout the store. From the moment you grab a cart at the entrance your visual and tactile senses are stimulated. It's no accident that supermarkets place the fresh produce and floral section near the front. Barr says supermarket planners want an image that the store is fresh, inviting and pleasant. Imagine how uninviting the supermarket experience would be if plungers and toilet paper were near the entrance. The contrasting textures of fruits and vegetables and pleasant aromas of brightly colored flowers can help entice consumers to linger in the store. Barr says, "The more senses that you can engage in a person the more likely they are going to make a purchase," he says. Barr says supermarkets are also counting on consumers to enter the store hungry. If you shop on an empty stomach you may be more prone to placing additional products in your cart. Pinching pennies. Shopping on a budget is a difficult task, and falling victim to supermarket tactics can make it even harder. Watch out for the end-cap displays; huge signs and last-chance purchase items that attempt to reel you in. As you push your cart along the parameter of the supermarket, you are likely to come across the frozen meats section. If you are buying steak, closely examine the meat. Barr says consumers who typically associate the freshness of meat by its red color may be unaware that supermarkets use certain lighting, such as fluorescent bulbs, to distort the true color of meats. Although meat is naturally red, the lights enhance the vividness of the red. Instead of just glancing quickly at the displays, try picking up each package to examine the true freshness and color. Across from the frozen meats section are the food aisles, but the end-cap displays distract you from even getting into the aisles. End-cap displays are products specially placed at the end of an aisle used to get your attention. You will notice that bottle of pop is not in its regular place on the shelf. An employee has gone to the trouble of arranging the product in an attractive manner. Barr says people perceive the display as something special and will tend to pick it up thinking that it is on sale. He says sometimes the item is not actually on sale or it is sold only at a small discount. Some end-cap displays are purposefully cluttered next to large-sale signs, which give the appearance that there are more bargains within the store than there actually are. Jason Kingman, Topeka junior, has become more aware of supermarket strategies such as the end-cap displays because he has worked at the Dillons Food Store, 1015 W. 23rd St., for two years. He works with store managers on product placement. He says an effective supermarket tactic is the limited-time only sales that create a sense of urgency. "Grocery stores are out to make money." Kingman says. "It's always a profit margin that's the bottom line." He says that as a consumer he didn't realize how responsive buyers were to a product being prominently displayed at the end of aisles until he started working there. "There will be a product 04 29 10 8 FEATURE ★ Nutrition Facts Check it out. If you come to the cashier with more items in tow than were originally on your list, you've done exactly what the supermarkets want you to do. Learning about supermarket strategies can help you become a conscious consumer and say no to that last-minute gum purchase. that won't sell for a couple of weeks." he says. "And then as soon as we put it on special, put huge signs around it or put it on an end of an aisle it just starts flying off the shelves." Each end-cap display is a company-wide strategic decision, he says. Once you finally do turn into an aisle, there is a natural tendency to look straight ahead. More thought processes are involved in bending down or reaching up for a product, says Robert Gordman, author of The Must-Have Consumer: Seven Steps to Winning the Customer You Haven't Got and president of the Gordman Group. a profit-development consulting group. You may not realize that brands are also competing for your attention on the shelf space. The eye-level products are the premium space on a shelf. Gordman says that brands negotiate with supermarkets, sign a contract and pay slotting fees to have their product at a particular level on the shelf. He says the cost of a slotting fee depends on the number of branches the supermarket has as well as the size and type of product. For example, the slotting fee for cereal may cost more because it takes up more space on the shelf than a can of green beans. There's also a reason your favorite chips are no longer in the same spot they used to be. He says items are periodically shuffled around on the shelf, which forces consumers to discover new products. So, location of products is partially determined by the brand's power. Next time you are browsing the aisles, make a conscious effort to scan the top and bottom levels to compare prices and products. "The key insight is that people generally want what they want." Gordman says. Megan Nguyen, Dodge City senior, says she doesn't shop with a list and isn't drawn to the sale items. "When I go to the store, I know what I want," she says. "I don't really care about the price." But Nguyen says there was a time when her lack of budgeting caused her to overspend on groceries. She was shopping at the Dillons Food Stores, 4701 W. Sixth St., with the intentions of spending only $15 to make sandwiches. She grabbed a basket, vegetables in the fresh produce section, and, after she was enticed by the smell of the bakery section, placed donuts and bread in her basket. Then she made her way through the store aisles and placed pop, cereal and chips in her basket. "I look at everything — that's why sometimes I actually forget what I need." Nguyen says. Her grocery trip ended up costing her $60. Like Nguyen, some customers follow the natural path of the store layout, which can cause them to buy more as they browse. Once you walk out of the aisles, you'll find the dairy section is near the back of the store. Supermarkets intentionally place milk near the back because it's a staple item, says Michael Williams, professor of marketing in Oklahoma City. He says supermarkets force you to walk past other items before you reach the milk, which increases your chances of impulse buying. "If we have it in the front, people are going to run into the door, pay for it and leave." Williams says. "They wouldn't have had a chance to walk into the store and they didn't intend to far apart consumers to walk past other items, he says. Supermarkets are organized in a manner that is convenient for consumers who don't do a lot of preplanning. "Our behavior as human organisms tends to be sort of like water." Williams says. "We tend to seek out the route with the least effort required." Items such as pasta sauce and egg noodles are next to one another, so you don't have to scour the store for each item. Although you might not have a grocery list handy, you can plan a meal based on the store layout. Once you make your way to the check-out line, you will find the candy and magazine displays. These are the impulse items, which are cheap and low-risk money-makers for the store. You may pick up that pack of gum as you place your items on the conveyer belt and the cashier scans the prices. Williams says the register not only tabulates the cost of your groceries, the register also collects current consumer data for the retailers and suppliers. "Frito Lays knows what sold in every Target and Wal-Mart grocery store real-time, this morning as of sales yesterday, afternoon and evening," he says. Supermarkets also use the customer loyalty cards, such as the Dillons Plus Card, to keep you returning to their supermarket, Williams says. Card-holding members can receive discounts, special offers and coupons in the mail based on their purchases. The cards create an incentive to return to the same store and the mailed coupons allow for more personalized shopping. He says each time you swipe the card supermarkets use the data to track your buying habits from the EASY WAYS to save money Make a list based on the store layout and determine the best path to reach your products so you can avoid impulse buys. Use your cell phone as a calculator. Carry a certain amount of cash, which will limit your spending habits as opposed to swiping a card. If you are going in for a quick purchase try carrying the items in your hand. You might place fewer items in your hand than in a cart or basket. Go shopping when you're full, which will help stop the cravings. Make a conscious effort to look at the bottom shelves first to compara prices. Name brands also make their own generic brands. You might find that the generic brand works just as well as the name brand. Size can be deceptive. Check the per ounce price to calculate whether you're getting a good deal. Rethink all your purchases at checkout. Don't feel guilty if you have to tell the cashier that you don't want an item. You are actually doing the supermarket a favor by giving the cashier the item instead of placing it randomly where it does not belong. amount of groceries to what brands you buy. Williams says collecting the data helps retailers and suppliers know whether they're losing profit, wasting inventory or overspending on operating costs. Williams says the net profit of most supermarkets is slim at about 1 to 2 percent. "Any time they can add a few pennies to their net profit it really helps their bottom line," he says. The bottom line for supermarkets might be customer retention and profit, but understanding supermarket psychology as a consumer can save you money. "It all comes down to how much can we slow you down and get you to wander through different parts of the store." Williams says. "If they can introduce some interference to our mission that gets us to look at other products, the odds of us picking up something that we would have not purchased otherwise are much higher."

For the fourth summer, Hoop Mamas is hosting playshops in South Park on Wednesday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. Ali Fitzgerald, who founded Hoop Mamas in 2007, started the playshops as a way for hoopers to get together and share tricks. She sees all different kinds of people at the playshops, from young to old. "People think because they couldn't do it as a kid, they can't do it now," Fitzgerald says. "But it's accessible and it's easy." It's easier because the hoops are heavier, and easier to keep up. And even if you lack rhythm, that doesn't mean you will be a bad hooper. Betty Shurin got kicked out of an aerobics class because she lacked rhythm. Now known as Betty Hoops, she has been teaching and studying hooping since 1998 and has her own instructional hooping DVD. She says she can teach anyone to hoop in less than five minutes by watching the way they move. The method Shurin teaches is different from the kind of hooping we did as kids because it focuses on posture and how the muscles in the core move. It can burn up to 600 calories per hour, and it can improve flexibility and coordination. Her method also promotes better digestion and circulation because the weight of the hoop massages the internal organs. But even hooping for fun with friends can be good for your body. Samantha Hewitt had been trying to lose weight, but was bored with normal exercise routines. She started hooping about a year and a half ago, but switched to fire hooping in December. A fire hoop has six to eight spokes that stick out and are lit on fire. Hewitt says her fire hoop is a lot heavier than a normal one, and the hoop took extra practice to get used to. She started fire hooping five times a week and she's lost more than 30 pounds. "Fire hooping is easier to do more often because the fire hoopers get together more often," she says. "It's a very social exercise." Hooping can be a social exercise, but it doesn't have to be. When she was teaching herself how to hoop, Fitzgerald spent a lot of time doing online research. She recommends www.hooping.org, which is a non-profit organization that promotes hooping with daily videos and weekly tutorials. Fitzgerald says she would also try to learn a trick every day on YouTube. "I would watch the video on the computer then run outside to try it," she says. Tricks can be basic, like keeping the hoop up on your waist or lassoing it on your wrist. But tricks can get as complicated as the hooper can make them, usually involving a lot of movement and sometimes multiple hoops. Shurin says people hoop because of the sexy, playful and alive feeling they get. Sarah Kunen, Lawrence senior, says through hooping she has learned to dance again. "I have arthritis, so a lot of kinds of exercise I can't do," she says. "But this is a fun and energetic exercise that I can do." There isn't a lot of equipment involved in hooping. Fitzgerald makes and sells hoops on her website, hoopmamas.net. You can also purchase hoops at Beyond the Door, 918 Massachusetts. She sells basic hoops for around $25, but fancier hoops and LED hoops will cost more. You can also find instructions for making your own hoop on www.hooping.org.

Hearing the phrase "I love boobs" during a weekend in Lawrence probably means some guy took a drink to the face, but this Friday at Memorial Stadium such comments are encouraged. The annual American Cancer Society Relay For Life will take place from 7 p.m. April 30 to 7 a.m. May 1 at Memorial Stadium. The event raises money for ACS's mission to fund cancer research and educate people about prevention and treatment options. Carolyn Haller, Alma junior and Relay For Life of KU Chair, is participating in the Relay for the eighth time. Haller says it's a common misconception that the event is an actual relay or a marathon. The 12-hour event represents the cancer victim's battle with the disease. Haller says. For the opening ceremony, cancer survivors run a lap around the track to celebrate those who have won the battle against cancer. At 10 p.m. the luminaria ceremony remembers those who are fighting or lost the battle with cancer. During the Fight Back ceremony at 2 a.m., participants pledge to make a difference in the fight against cancer, such as quitting the tanning salon or scheduling regular mammograms. Unfortunately everyone has been affected by cancet." Haller says. "Everyone can find a reason to be passionate about it and find a reason to relay." To register for the event, visit www.relayforlife.org/kuks. Haller recommends getting a group of eight to 15 friends together and registering for the event as a team, but individual participants are also welcome. // EMILY JOHNSON RELAY FOR LIFE American Cancer Society Contributed photo Fighting for the cure.

You can make jazz more accesible by checking out local acts such as the Tommy Johnson Quartet, which plays at iBar, 945 Massachusetts St., every Friday. Brush off stereotypes and ignore misconceptions to find your rhythm with jazz jazz offers more than the stereotypical smoky club and painful trumpet retouching the sortrows of patrons with undone ties. Jazz music shies away from modern media and gets misconceived as one big genre. This makes it harder to access and appreciate, yet the field is full of distinct genres and accessible songs. Jazz holds a diverse selection that can ignite admiration in any listener. Genres of jazz, such as avant-garde, tend to leave bad impressions with long solos or unfamiliar song forms. If a listener is unfamiliar with how songs are put together, those songs can be hard to absorb, says Roberta Schwartz, professor of musicology. Most pop songs mix verses, choruses and instrumental sections into common patterns that listeners can easily identify. Jazz songs, though sometimes harder to identify, also hold predictable framework. Jazz songs commonly start with a head, or the main idea of the song, Schwartz says. This beginning section plays the melody before it is improvised and dressed up throughout the song. The head also lays out the basic chord progressions for the song, or the structure of the music supporting the melody. For an elementary jazz song, musicians then pass around the melody, improvising and paraphrasing it throughout. A musician's time to improvise with the melody depends on several factors, such as tempo, who's performing and the genre. If the tempo is quicker, usually there is less improvisation time. Improvisation length depends on the taste of the musicians and how long they prefer sections to last. More classic genres of jazz reserve brief sections for improvisation, such as swing jazz. Swing jazz typically includes danceable beats, light melodies and boasts artists such as Benny Goodman, Count Bassi and Glen Miller. Swing jazz controlled American popular music during the 1940s, Schwartz says. She recommends swing to beginning jazz listeners for its liveliness and simplicity. "Find a couple of artists that you like and start to understand a style," Schwartz says. "Then you can figure out the patterns in it and develop your listening." Julie Miller, Hutchinson junior, started listening to jazz music through swing. "It was something different from what was on the radio." Miller says. "It was danceable and such a bigger sound." Miller is enrolled in Schwartz's "Introduction to Jazz" class this semester. She says she took the course to deepen her appreciation for jazz and to learn how to identify its genres better. Upon learning more about the art, Miller says she greatly admires the work jazz musicians put into their craft. She is learning about the personal approaches of musicians from Schwartz's class and how to identify certain performers by their playing styles. "It's a lifestyle," Miller says. "It's incorporating whatever happened to you and putting it in a musical format." Hearing that expression infuses a greater understanding, but it is difficult to develop. "The feelings that jazz express are as substantial as any other musical genre, but sometimes it's hard to break that language barrier," Nick Curry, junior and KJHK jazz DJ, says. "It has a need for fermentation." Curry says. "It's like that album you buy and you don't know if you like it, but then you listen to it later and realize its greatness." The exploration of jazz and developing a taste for certain types of jazz can be harder because of the "fermentation" process. Jazz doesn't lend itself to 30-second iTunes clips because of lengthy and diverse songs. Curry spends several hours a week as a jazz DJ sorting through jazz albums and deciding what to play. "I think everybody has the sense of what a good song is and everybody can tell when that meaning isn't there." Curry says. He finds some of the more accessible jazz music to be modern artists who do jazz covers of pop songs. "Hearing people doing Radiohead covers or playing jazz with a modern sound is a fun experience," Curry says. Listening to jazz covers of pop songs can commence the exportation process by cultivating interest in an artists and their genre of jazz. An attraction to jazz may take some time.

John was a troubled, rebellious teen who never fully understood his father's weird habits and never really wanted to. After just barely graduating high school and skipping college, John joined the army. Joining the army is what he needed to do to grow up and become the man he thought he needed to be, he thinks. While back home on leave, John meets a beautiful vacationer, Savannah. She seems to be all he's ever dreamed of and more. After spending a short while together, John and Savannah realize they have fallen in love with each other. This makes going back overseas even harder. Once John is back overseas, they correspond with one another through snail mail. After September 11th occurs and John's father becomes ill, the couple's relationship takes a turn for the worst. John's love for his country conflicts with his love for Savannah. Author Nicholas Sparks is known for his love stories, novels and movies. This is one of his better novels that ranks above the rest. A Novel by the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author NICHOLAS SPARKS Dear John 8 CDE • EMBARKED • READ BY HOUSTON GRITH // SAVANNAH ABBOTT The Ghost Writer is the latest from director Roman Polanski. Polanski is best known for films such as Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby, movies as respected for their scripts and their storytelling as for their thrills. The Ghost Writer doesn't pack as much punch as either of these movies, but it gives it a good college try, and ends up being a pretty solid, fun mystery in the process. movie review // 'THE GHOST WRITER' hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. The movie opens with an unnamed writer (Ewan McGregor) getting an assignment to ghost write a memoir for former British Prime Minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan), who's being investigated for war crimes. McGregor's character is taking the job over from another man who died mysteriously. McGregor flies to New England, where Lang, his wife and staff are living in exile. McGregor starts to work with Lang on the memo, and starts to notice some odd clues left behind by his predecessor, the dead writer. Investigations, double-crosses and other hijinks ensue. At first glance, The Ghost Writer looks like a fast-paced political thriller with lots of action, a convoluted plot and actors shooting each other plenty of intense, penetrating stares. Since this is, in fact, a political thriller, there's plenty of that. But there's also a surprising amount of wit and humor. McGregor's character seems to be as puzzled by his situation as the audience is, and his reactions to the things he learns about Lang and his history seem nicely believable. A few times, particularly at the end of the film, the movie goes over the top and events feel a tad melodramatic or cliché. It makes it a little hard to take the movie seriously, but doesn't harm its overall entertainment value. For audiences familiar with Polanski's work, a movie that falls into the tropes of the generic thriller may feel a little disappointing. But not every movie can be Chinatown, and a movie that manages to retain elements of the director's classic work, and to recall other classic thrillers such as The Manchurian Candidate, or those of the Hitchcock variety, is still worth watching. And for those who are just looking for a good, smart movie to watch on a weekend. The Ghost Writer offers a lot more than others of its ilk. ★ ★ ☆ // ABBY OLCESE PONG TOURNAMENT EVERY THURSDAY @ 9PM $250 IN CASH PRIZES $2 BOTTLES AND UV BOMBS $8 FISH BOWLS FRIDAY: CUSTOMER APPRECIATION PARTY $2 ANYTHING GREY GOOSE - PATRON - CROWN - JACK STOLI - JAGERMEISTER - ABSOLUT - CAPTAIN 22ND AND IOWA FRIDAY: CUSTOMER APPRECIATION PARTY $2 ANYTHING GREY GOOSE - PATRON - CROWN - JACK STOLI - JAGERMEISTER - ABSOLUT - CAPTAIN THE PHOGGY DOG 22ND AND 10WA THE PHOGGY DOG 22ND AND IOWA *bills Clinical trials are supervised by doctors;a safe comfortable way to earn $2,700 for your help Quintiles has a study with four stays of three nights, each for healthy women You may qualify if you are: A healthy woman Ages 18-50 A non-smoker Taking no medications Quint All of Call today (913) 894.5533 or StudyForChange.com Quintiles can help you pay them.

Ben says he and his friends found comfort in their shared nerdness. Pictured from left to right: Brandon Abbott, Shawnee graduate student; Mike Flaherty, a senior at Washburn University; Peter C. Soto, Shawnee junior; and Javaplyw writes Ben Sullivan, Shawnee junior; and Taylor Brown, Shawnee junior. Contributed photo Growing up I didn't know popular songs on the radio or celebrity giftgirl. (I still don't.) When other kids were getting frosted tips and kick-starting unhealthy relationships with the Dave Mathews Band and MTV reality programming, I was listening to Weird Al Yankovic and watching SeaQuest with my father. I spent my youth adrift in a sea of science fiction and fantasy worlds, only returning to the real one when my mother would drag me to family dinner. It wasn't until I got older that I slowly came to the realization how being a childhood nerd paid off. Growing up with a different prerogative is difficult. The threat of being ostracized for nerd dom is still very real. Schools definitely have a social caste system. Kids who had parents that allowed them to watch R-rated movies and dress like an Abercrombie and Fitch model were elevated to the front of the herd. The ones who stopped to check out an interesting-looking bush because of severe asthma were quickly left behind. That was me. I grew up as the quiet kid, preferring to spend my time in books than at skate parties. It was tough. Knowing that you don't fit in is demoralizing, especially when you only have 12 years of perspective to draw on. Briely in sixth grade, I failed an attempted transition into being a cool kid. I purchased an expensive tube of colored hair gel that ended up staining my sink orange. For the few mornings I spent bent over the sink, I came out having done my hair six times to make sure that it was acceptably spiked. To complete the ensemble, I donned the '90s uniform of khaki cargo shorts, the white undershirt and striped button down, complete with a sharks tooth hemp necklace. My clever ruse lasted about a week. If I may paraphrase Douglas Adams, I was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a popular kid. To my knowledge, I looked, smelled and talked the way I so badly wanted to be, but in reality was little more than one animal in another animal's clothing. So I went off on my own, partially by my own choice, mostly because I didn't belong anywhere else. Then I found friends. There were others out there who had an encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars — others who accepted the fact that I played the mandolin, others who had read every book that J.R.R Tolkien has ever written, including The Silmarillion, which is a university-level history text book of events that didn't actually happen. In fact they were there the whole time. I had just been looking in the wrong place. And over the years. I was blessed with a one-in-a-million collective of fellow geeks. Undoubtedly the presence of like-minded others helped each of us develop our personalities and endure the shiitstorm of mockery that was middle school. We established ourselves in high school and slingshot into colleges across the country. On the weekends, we happily cloistered ourselves in a life of hobbies and games while other people were developing problematic drinking habits. Across the years we spent thousands of dollars on collectible card games, played full campaigns of Dungeons and Dragons and spent Friday and Saturday evenings building, painting and playing with plastic models. It was nerdy, we got funny looks, but it was great. It was in the company of my friends. And the best part came later. As it turns out, special abilities are useful. Teaching ourselves in unconventional areas fostered independent learning later. The hours we poured into literature, computers, music and art gave us marketable skills. Now we're writers, technicians, musicians and artists. The very same activities that had us pinned as weird now provide us with unique tools to carve a new place in the world. Really, being the oddball was the best thing that could have happened to me. It wasn't easy, but I owe everything I am to how I grew up. I would challenge anyone who says I wasted my time. I'd win, too.

An electrical problem occurred with the University's uninterrupted power supply. The UPS protects the University Data Center, where the server is located. The electrical problem caused UPS to shut down power to the Data Center, and the University lost accessibility to the Internet, e-mail and network drives. said Jack Martin, deputy director for University Communications. A KU-issued alert informed students that computing services would begin running on back-up power at around 9 p.m. Thursday. Some KU servers were back online by 5 p.m. and everything was back online by 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Until that time, however, students and faculty across campus had to make serious adjustments to their daily routines, ranging from lost opportunities to finish last-minute homework assignments to not being able to use Beak 'Em Bucks at establishments on and off campus. In Watson and Anschutzlibraries, about half of the computers would not allow students to log on. The working computers allowed students to log on, but Maggie Carter, a tech assistant in Anschutz, said that the log-on process took at least 15 minutes. "It's been very, very slow here today," said Carter, a junior from Shawnee. Once logged in, students could access the Internet but none of the KU websites. Printers stopped working at 9:30 a.m., but students could print for free from a flash drive using computers behind the library desk, Carter said. Kyle Hamer, a senior from Prairie Village, said he wasn't able to do homework for his mechanical engineering 661 class. Because he and other students couldn't access the computer program needed, his professor extended the homework due date. "Because the disruption made it impossible for people to access Blackboard or their online assignments, we're asking faculty members to be flexible with their deadlines," Martin said. "We're anticipating the faculty members to be flexible, as they're having the same disruption." Danielle Moccia, a junior from Atchison, said she was not able to access documents she needed for an in-class presentation.

O'Neill Age 22 Mansfield Matthew Gate Age 22 Mcgadan Flags covered the Stauffer-Flint lawn Thursday in a memorial to fallen American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The memorial was planned by KU's Young Americans for Liberty to raise awareness about the costs of the ongoing conflict. Almost 6,500 Americans have died in the overseas fighting. Howard Ting/KANSAN KU group's memorial protests foreign war BY ROBERT ALTMAN raltman@kansan.com Students tilted their heads in curiosity walking past the red and yellow covering the Stauffer-Flint lawn Thursday. From in front of Wescoe, a group of girls thought the items were newly-planted flowers, but said they were depressed when they found out what the items really were: yellow and red flags holding the name, age and hometown of one of the growing number of fallen soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The memorial was an effort by KU's Young Americans for Liberty, who teamed up with other state organizations such as the Manhattan Alliance for Peace and Justice to place the flags. The groups promote an American foreign policy that doesn't use military force to intervene with other nations. "We should be an example to nations, but shouldn't dictate how they should live," said William Stewart-Starks, an 2009 graduate and Young Americans For Liberty member. "We thought the best way to get that across was this flag display, these are all deaths." The United States' casualty count in Iraq and Afghanistan approaches 6,500, according to i-casualties.org. This doesn't include the estimated 850,000 Iraqi and Afghan civilian deaths. "You hear a number on the news, but it's different to see it," said Tommy Kennedy, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., as he walked by. Trent Stepanik, a junior from Overland Park who got back from his second tour of duty in Iraq last May, stopped to crouch near some of the flags. "I was looking for a couple names," he said. "It's especially striking on a day with the wind like this, knowing each one of these represents someone's brother, sister, daughter or son." The Young Americans for Liberty spoke of other costs of war, including the monetary, moral and philosophical drawbacks. They gave individuals a chance to sign a petition to end the war. "We're all about giving students a way to be active in issues, and this petition is just an outlet for people to express their discontent with the way things are going" Stewart-Stark said. Although Stepanik said some soldiers might take the display as a protest against them, he didn't think that was the case. "I think it's awesome," he said. "You've got to raise awareness, and it's just so nice to see civilian students involved with young veterans and young soldiers."

Edited by Kelly Gibson Relay for Life participation rises, but funding still short of goal CAMPUS BY JENNY TERRELL jterrell@kansan.com With almost 600 participants and 69 teams, this year's University Relay for Life has doubled its participation from last year. However, with volunteers set to walk around the Memorial Stadium track for 12 hours starting at 7 tonight, the group is still about $15,500 short of its goal. "It's not that we are far behind or we're not where we need to be," Easley said. "We will meet our goal, if not surpass it." Volunteers have generated about $22,500, which is $10,500 short of last year's total and well shy of this year's goal of $38,000. However, Amanda Easley, a sophomore from Junction City and vice president of the University's Relay for Life, said she was not concerned. Carolyn Haller, a junior from Alna and president of KU's Relay for Life, said the increase of teams came from several different places, including Greek houses, student organizations and self-formed groups. "We have a lot more of everything," Haller said. "We even have a Baker team this year." Last year the University's Relay for Life raised about $33,000, which amounted to goal of $32,000. funding has matched any increases in participation. While participation this year is high, the fund raising is coming in slow. Fund raising is not a problem seen only at the University. Megan Waggy, a sophomore from Philadelphia, is participating as a member for Alpha Chi Omega sorority. The sorority has two teams and 25 total participants. She met "It's not that we are far behind or we're not where we need to be. We will meet our goal..."

During the Student Night, SMA hosted pieces created by KU students with the theme of rejecting popular art standards — creating art that is meaningless to the modern world. BY ERIN BROWN ebrown@kansan.com The Student Advisory Board put on the event and about 200 people attended. Billups said she hoped the event had encouraged students to come by Spencer more often. "I have many friends that have work out this evening." Cacioppo said. "I think it's really nice, there's some good work up." "The museum offers so much to students for their classes and just for enjoyment." Billups said. "Hopefully students come back after this function." The Spencer's major spring exhibit "Machine in a Void: World War I & the Graphic Arts" inspired the theme for the evening. The exhibit features art from the post-World War I era, including art from the Dada anti-war art movement. Artists of the Dada movement sought to create absurd and nonsensical art as a reaction to a war that also didn't make sense, said Katy Billups, a communications intern with The Spencer Museum of Art. Activities for the event followed this theme. For example, students decorated T-shirts with abstract stencils and created a collage of nonsensical items to paste on the cubic sculpture in the central court. "The world's reaction to the war is illustrated and depicted in the different forms of art at the exhibit," Billups, a senior from Dallas, said. "It doesn't make a lot of sense, because it's not supposed to." The event also featured local music from KJHK DJ Danny Spence and food from Local Burger, Buffalo Wild Wings. The Community Mercantile and Tortas Jalisco. Students enjoyed local music, food and art at The Spencer Museum of Art's seventh annual Spring Student Night. - Edited by Cory Bunting Students from KU professor So Yeon Park's community-based art class displayed performance art throughout the evening as well. Ashley Warren, a student in Park's class, made unique hair clips to give away at the event. "I have this little flower that I put in my hair to feel pretty," Warren, a senior from Shawnee, said. "And I thought what if I could start making these for people so they could feel good on a bad day. It's just about spreading good feelings." Tierney Cacioppo, a senior from Overland Park, attended the event to support some of her friends. ART (CONTINUED FROM 1A) advocates that there aren't winners or losers. Each piece of art exhibited was shown for its artistic quality and response to the theme.

"I wanted to use something without toxic ink, something from nature." Tedford said it took her a few tries because the mushrooms have to be really mature for her to get a print with spore marks on it. She covered the mushroom with a big bowl and allowed the spores to release. Students' artwork will be displayed in the Teaching Gallery at the museum until May 10. "As long as I've been on the board, getting student art in the museum has been a goal." Bluvas said. "We're so happy that it's finally happened." time students were able to display their artwork in the museum. Bluvas, also a Kansan copy editor, has been on the board for four years.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: I equals U All puzzles © King Features Bush talks in detail for the first time publicly of the accident she was involved in as a 17-year-old in Midland, Texas, that killed her friend Mike Douglas. She says that she and a girlfriend were on their way to a drive-in theater on Nov. 6, 1963, when she ran a stop sign and hit Douglas' car. Laura Bush book out next week DALLAS — Former first lady Laura Bush says in her new book that she lost her faith for many years after her pleas to God to spare the life of a high school classmate whose car she hit were not answered. ASSOCIATED PRESS The memoir, "Spoken from the Heart," is set for release next week. A copy of the 456-page book was obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday. Bush says that in the emergency room after the accident, she could hear Douglas' mother sobbing on the other side of a curtain. Guilt over the accident consumed her for years and she regretted not visiting Douglas' parents following the accident. Bush says in the book that when she became a mother, she began to fully understand what his parents had gone through. She says that after a high school classmate of her twin daughters' committed suicide, she insisted that they visit the friend's parents. In her book, the former first lady also talks about everything from her childhood to meeting George W. Bush — the man she fell in love with for his humor and steadfastness — to her time as first lady. She also dispels rumors that she ever considered leaving her husband over his drinking, saying she never told him it was "Jim Beam or me." She says that while his drinking was indeed a problem at one point, they loved each other and never considered divorce. But she says he was "a bore" when he drank too much and she felt he could be a "better man." She says her husband would drink bourbon before dinner, beer during and B&B after, a combination she called "lethal" but "completely accepted" by their social circle. Bush defends her husband's decision to invade Iraq and was surprised when intelligence that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction proved to be wrong.

Let's make Kansas proud The role that Kansas played in the national debate about abortion changed dramatically when Dr. George Tiller was murdered last year. Tiller's Wichita clinic was already a major point of contention and a frequent object of derision for out-of-state anti-abortion groups such as Operation Rescue. After the shock of Tiller's death began to subside, the discussion about what his legacy would be began to take shape. The clinic is yet to reopen, and there have been attempts to make the closure permanent. Recently, a sweeping ban on late-term abortion was vetoed by Governor Parkinson. However, this is likely not the last attempt at such a ban — especially if Sam Brownback is elected governor later this year. Even if such a ban passes, it will not be without a protracted fight. Abortion is the great wedge issue in modern politics. The wrong perspective on abortion rights can completely derail a political candidate's aspirations. Debate can even turn people against non-partisan figures, such as Supreme Court justices. I was annoyed, but not really surprised, when it played such a prominent part in the health care reform debate that monopolized pretty much all political Liberal Loudmouth BY BEN COHEN We seem to only take the lead on major political issues in Kansas when it has the potential to really embarrass us. The 1990s saw our noble Sunflower State in the national political spotlight for two things: a Republican candidate for president who developed an affection for certain little blue pills and for local (and briefly successful) attempts at banning evolutionary theory from high school science classes. Just a few years ago, Kansas House Republicans decided that having the opportunity to make Kansas a leader in clean, renewable energy (that with our having one of the best wind potentials in the country) wasn't nearly as sexy as having another smog-spewing coal plant out in western Kansas. Tiller's clinic brought the state another kind of attention that, similar to the examples of attention we seem to accumulate, had its downsides. Although pro-choice Kansans could boast that one of the few clinics in the country willing to perform late-term abortions existed in Wichita, it also frequently brought in anti-abortion activists who otherwise would have mostly left Kansas alone. If you've ever experienced the kinds of demonstrations those people are known for, and it's happened on campus a few times, you probably understand where I'm coming from. As it stands, there is the possibility for Tiller's clinic to be reopened. I hope that possibility will remain even if Sam Brownback ends up our next Governor. Most of the backwards steps our state has taken have been admittedly small, though still embarrassing. But, although I'd be happy losing the clinic protestors, it'd be nice for us to garner a little attention for being open minded for once. Cohen is a senior from Topeka in political science. EDITORIAL CARTOON It's almost Summer! WooHoo! As the school year comes to an end, it becomes a little harder to focus in class. Mariam Saifan GUEST EDITORIAL TV review: 'Romantically' humorless Most television shows, especially the comedies, are hit or miss. Series such as ABC's "Modern Family" have gumption that viewers fall in love with; the characters are original and flawed to the necessary comic extent, and the circumstances parody reality. Then there are the failures. The station's attempt to create the series "Cavemen" in 2007 was a catastrophe. The show was canceled within a month. It is too soon to predict accurately which category ABC's latest comedy series "Romantically Challenged" will fall into. Chances are that it will be the latter. The show premiered April 19, an indication that ABC has little faith in its quality because it was not saved for the fall lineup. The plot follows four single friends and their dating challenges. Alyssa Milano stars as Rebecca Thomas, a lawyer recently divorced after 15 years of marriage. During the pilot episode, she goes on her first date since the split, and though it ends in shambles, she finds that she is ready to move on from her past heartbreak As much as I wanted to give "Romantically Challenged" a chance, I simply could not do it. The conversations were awkwardly forced, the jokes dull and flat. The show is not characteristically "bad." The actors do a decent job with their roles. The main problem is that the series lacks any depth. There is not anything special about the characters. The outlook for the plot seems trite. How many successful or failed dates can you watch before it becomes old? The new series is a complete bust, but the writers need to invigorate the show with the insightful humor that makes other popular comedies worth watching. Otherwise, it will be a miracle if "Romantically Challenged" lasts longer than a summer fling. break the show. True, past successes have revolved around the dating game, such as "Friends." But the lovable cast of "Friends" also dealt with issues in the outside world. The narrow scope of "looking for love" is what will ultimately UWIRE, Charlotte Campbell for The Cavalier Daily, the University of Virginia. HUMOR Investigate options before committing to summer work Summertime is fast approaching. For college students, this could mean students, this could mean a number of things. For some of us, it's about getting a resume-building internship that will provide valuable coffee-fetching experience. For others, it's about studying abroad, even though everything that was ever good in the history of the world is already in America (USA! USA! USA!) . Still others see it as an opportunity to do something called "hanging out" with what kids these days call "friends." But, if you're like me, summer is all about working and saving up as much money as possible. Now is the time to start looking for a summer job, because soon there will be a rush of high school and college kids turning in applications. The competition can be fierce. Even more important than beating that rush, however, is finding a job that's right for you. I am a top-notch career counselor.

Vogt is visiting the University to play in classrooms, dorms and other public venues, advancing education and appreciation for Brazilian sound. He performed Thursday night at a jazz guitar workshop in Ellsworth Hall. As part of his on-campus tour, Vogt will be promoting the group KU 2Bros, a group of students dedicated to raising funds for the Two Brothers organization.

Vogt specializes in a type of Brazilian jazz known as Bossa Nova, which will be featured in all of his performances tonight. "He's an incredibly talented and successful young musician that can bring the element of Brazilian culture to KU." Sneed said.

Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN INTERNATIONAL Brown falls flat in political debate U.S.-style debates help shape politics and a close election ASSOCIATED PRESS BIRMINGHAM, England — Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown scrapped for his political future in the country's final TV election debate on the economy — the most combative showdown yet where he traded gibes with rivals a day after an embarrassing campaign gaffe. He tried to smooth over the gaffe at the start of the debate Thursday. After forgetting to remove a microphone on a campaign stop Wednesday, Brown was heard calling a retired Labour voter a "bigoted woman" after she questioned him on immigration. in good times and in bad." The first U.S.-styled debates have spurred an unexpected transformation in Britain's politics and shaped the election, one of the closest in decades. Thursday's debate offered Brown a chance to shine — the 59-year-old former Treasury chief is most com- Months ago, the Conservatives' David Cameron was favored as the clear winner but he was surprisingly eclipsed after the first debate when Nick Clegg, leader wins the vote, it seems inevitable the country will feel the harshest cuts to public services since World War II. Taxes, meanwhile, are sure to rise and recovery measures could be stalled with a hung Parliament. "It's the ultimate Shakespearean tragedy for Gordon Brown." FRANK LUNTZ American political consultant of the perennially third-placed Liberal Democrats, stole the show with his affable yet confident persona. After Thursday's showdown, it seemed more likely no party would win a clear parliamentary majority with Clegg becoming a "There is a lot to this job, and...I don't get all of it right. But I do know how to run the economy." "There is a lot to this job, and as you saw yesterday I don't get all of it right," Brown said. "But I do know how to run the economy — fortable talking about numbers. But his delivery fell flat. He looked tired from what some columnists have dubbed "Duffygate," referring to 66-year-old retiree Gillan Duffy.

Whoever tragedy for Gordon Brown," said Frank Luntz, an American political consultant who has advised the Republicans. bates but analysts said polls in the coming days would give a clearer picture once voters digested coverage of the debates. "I think Cameron came across as very strong," said Helen Coombs, deputy head of political research at the polling company Ipsos MORI. "I thought Clegg's message was strong but I'm not sure he beat Cameron. I don't think Brown managed to turn himself around. He kept harping on about his achievements but this doesn't resonate with voters." All three main parties have been reluctant to say what they plan to cut — answers that could lose votes. The final debate did little to explain details of economic recovery plans, but the showdown showed Brown and Cameron repeatedly trading blows over other's policies on tax, and potential cuts to welfare.

APRIL 30. 2010 / SPORTS 7A Team hopes for a big win SOFTBALL BY ZACH GETZ zgetz@kansan.com After the javahaws racked up a season high 14 hits on Wednesday, freshman outfield Rosie Hull said the team is looking to continue the momentum when it faces No. 10 Oklahoma in a two game series this weekend. "We all have a great taste in our mouths and are positive and upbeat." Hull said. "We're close with all these teams, it's just one or two things that doesn't go our way." With the regular season wrapping up in nine days, Kansas is looking for a top 10 win, Hull said. "I'm ready to go out there, give it all I have and get a few more wins before the season is over," Hull said. Kansas comes in at 19-30 (1-13) and has lost its last six Big 12 Conference games while Oklahoma is 37-10 (11-3). Oklahoma pitchers currently have a Big 12 best 1.60 ERA, and Kansas coach Megan Smith said Oklahoma is a solid team all the way around. "They have a good,young pitcher on staff,and a great offense" Smith said. "We definitely have our work cut out for us." To have a chance Kansas needs to make it can not only get runners on base, but be able to bring them home, Smith said. "We need to be more focused on our bats, and make sure we adhere to our game plan." Smith said. "That's how we're going to be successful." With just six more games in her career, senior outfielder Ally Stanton said Smith told Kansas it needs to continue to fight and finish hard as a team. "The Oklahoma game, regardless of the outcome, I think we have in our mind that we are going to fight and throw everything we have at it," Stanton said. With classes all day and a late doubleheader on Wednesday, Stanton said the team was near delicious with energy — and may be what led Kansas to its 14 hits. "Hopefully we can take that energy and keep going." Stanton said. ku KANSAS VS. NO. 10 OKLAHOMA OU Drake vs. Kansas Where: OU Softball Complex, Norman, Okla.

Team prepares for second annual conference championship meet BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com ROWING After hosting the first-ever Big 12 Championship last season, the rowing team heads to Oklahoma City for the conference championships this weekend. The Jayhawks have already faced every team in the Big 12 this year, defeating Kansas State in the Kansas Cup and losing to Texas and Oklahoma in Austin and Oklahoma City, respectively. The Jayhawks hope to use the familiarity to their advantage. "As a sense of preparation it gives us confidence to know that we can hang with the other crews," Julia Guard, a junior from Lawrence, said. "It also gives us a better idea of where we stand, the progress we have made this season, and what we will need to do to catch them." "I think we are able to predict where we will be and so it will help with our race plan," Lindsey Lawrence, a senior from Lawrence, said. "We have improved a lot since we raced Texas and it will be a lot closer race this time." It will take everything the jayhawks have to win in Oklahoma City this weekend to knock off the defending champion Texas Longhorns. "...everyone has to trust their fitness and go out and pull every stroke as hard as they can." "I think we just have to perform at our highest level as a team and everyone has to trust their fitness and go out and pull every stroke as hard as they can," coach Rob Catloth said.

"Having a central location brought us together and has really stepped our program up." The Jayhawks are hoping that increased team chemistry brought on from the boathouse will help them take the Big 12 Championship in its second year of existence. "There is definitely more competiteness going into this race because it means so much to me, my boat and this team," Francis said. "It is the pinnacle of the season and would mean so much to me to win as a senior."

COWBOYS KANSAS OPENING PITCH OKLAHOMA STATE OPENING PITCH Kansas hopes to overcome its recent pitching woes in Stillwater. AT A GLANCE The Jayhawks (25-17-1, 6-8-1) have lost three straight games, two of which they've surrendered 20+ runs. But Kansas isn't reeling despite the recent issues with its pitching staff; the team is confident heading to Stillwater, where it aims for a series victory. PLAYERTOWATCH Junior shortstop, Brandon Macias The Jayhawks pitching needs to improve for them to have a chance in Stillwater, but it will go for naught without offense to support it. That will start with Macias - who has served as Kansas' leadoff hitter for the past five games. If Macias can stay hot from the top spot in the lineup, the Jayhawks should provide their pitchers with solid run support. AT A GLANCE AUGUST 17, 2015 QUOTE "We've got 12 conference games left.

If Walz and the rest of the Jayhawk pitchers have benefited from additional rest this week and return to form - they have a great chance of a series victory. If not, it's going to be a long weekend for Kansas. As one of the more consistent hitters for Oklahoma State, Ginther leads the team in slugging percentage and in doubles.

His display in the Jordan Brand Classic was enough to set him apart from the noks. from the pack. "I just think he shows the complete package." Shay Wildeboor from Rivals.com said. "Playing point guard, you have to do 2013-09-18 Selby more than just score. If anyone who saw him play in that game, you saw behind-the-back, no-look passes. He's almost unguardable. If he wants to get to the basket, he'll get there." Wildeboor said Kentucky signee Brandon Knight, who previously held the top spot and is now sixth, didn't do anything wrong. The other players have just been improving. The top five consists of Selby, Harrison Barnes (committed to North Carolina), Enes Kanter (Kentucky), Kyrie Irving (Duke) and Jared Sullinger (Ohio State). "If I'm starting a team, I want Josh Selby," Wildeboor said. "But you couldn't go wrong with Harrison Barnes either." Edited by Cory Bunting Nielsen math comes up short MORNING BREW Sports owes a lot to mathematics. Counting the number of bench reps by an athlete at the combine approximates his strength. Simple arithmetic allows us to calculate how many strikeouts a pitcher has per nine innings. Mathematics and statistics allow us to quantify the excellence we see on the diamond, the hardwood or the ice rink. But it appears that The Nielsen Company got it all wrong. See, the company released a study that says the Cleveland Indians — yes, the Cleveland Indians — are the most hated team in baseball. The Indians are in the Royals' division, haven't won a World Series since 1948 and rank 24th in the MLB in payroll for the 2010 season. The Nielsen formula helped determine whether online consumers have positive, negative or neutral reactions to brands in their online messages. If you somehow quantified all the hate from baseball fans in this country toward particular ballclubs, I can guarantee you two things. One: So many people would forget the Indians that they wouldn't crack the top five most hated. Two: The New York Yankees would finish first. I realize that New York has a national fanbase filled with bandwagon-jumpers and former New York residents. If the study was done in the East Coast, the Yankee-Red Sox feud would bring about the most combined hate, but it would be split between the clubs and the Yankees BY CLARK GOBLE cgoble@kansan.com twitter.com/clarkgobble might not finish first. But a national poll that places the Cleveland Indians at the top of the most-hated teams list and the Yankees fourth shouldn't carry much weight. The Yankees pay their 25-player roster $145,129,422 more than the Indians. The Chicago Cubs, the team with the third-highest payroll behind Boston and New York, spent a total of $146,859,000. THE MORNING BREW Simply, the difference between New York's payroll and Cleveland's payroll is approximately the Chicago Cubs. And this is where mathematics fails. There is no real way to quantify the hate of the Bronx Bombers from small-market baseball fans. The Brew didn't have the time to conduct extensive research, but if you ask the fans of the bottom 10 teams in payroll which team they hate the most, I bet a majority answer "The Yankees." If you ask those same fans about their feelings for the Cleveland Indians, I bet you get more references to "Major League" than that. They sit in second in the top-heavy AL East. They won the World Series last year. Are the Yankees good? Absolutely. But that only adds to the hate. but that only adds to the hate. An Indians blogger told the Wall Street Journal that he could believe the Indians' ranking because the team alienates its fans. Cleveland can alienate its fans as much it wants; the Yankees do enough alienating by spending $50 million more than any other team. FRIDAY YOUTUBE SESH It appears that the math has failed. I am not a bald, middle-aged St. Louis Cardinals fan. But this guy's rant after the Yankees won the World Series speaks for small-market baseball fans everywhere. Search "Why I Hate the New York Yankees" on YouTube and relate to this guy's frustration.

Senior pitcher Sarah Vertelka started playing ball when she was 5. Vertelka could barely pick up a bat, but she grabbed hold of the game and never let it go. The California native committed to Kansas despite interest from schools like Long Beach State and Nevada. She said she fell in love with Lawrence and hasn't regretted her decision at all. "The whole college town thing got me because all the schools I got recruited to didn't have this atmosphere at all." Verteka said, "Besides the beaches, there's nothing you can't do here that you can do in California." "I love playing in the Big 12 and its great competition," Vertelka said. "Every series is tough." She said she also came to Kansas to get a chance to play in the Big 12 Conference, one of the toughest softball leagues in the country. Now with just six more games in the regular season, Vertelka is about to wrap up her college softball career. The most experienced pitcher on a young team. Vertelka said she wanted to lead by example this season. She is tied for the team lead with 63 strikeouts and ranks second with six victories. Freshman pitcher and outfielder Alex Jones said Verklefa 4 SARAH VERTELKA PITCHER Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. **Nickname:** Telka **Major:** Exercise science **Favorite T.V. shows:** Grey's Anatomy and That 70s Show **Favorite song on IPod:** Anything country **The person with the most** influence on my life: My mom experience has always drawn Jones to her. "I look up to Vertelka as someone I can turn to ask questions because she has been through it all!" Jones said. "I just want to be able to follow in her footsteps." Jones said she could always rely on Vertelka for advice "I would go up to her and be like 'Tell, I had a bad game, how do I bounce back from that?" Jones said. "She will be like 'You know, we play so many games in a season, you can't think about that one game and move on to the next one." when she needed it. With all the youth, at times Kansas has had to rely on Vertelka to help get the team though, coach Megan Smith said. "Sarah had to bear the burden a lot of the times pitching in the circle, and had to go out there and pitch through some tough times," Smith said. "We've had some instances where she was the only pitcher we had available, and she had to go out there in gut out performances when she shouldn't have had to" Vertelka's approach to practice has been a great example for the younger players, Smith said. "She doesn't dilly-dally, she For a preview of this weekend's series at Drake see PAGE 7A doesn't joke around in her work outs, and stays focused in her work outs," Smith said. "I think the other pitchers see that." Vertelka said she hasn't thought much about the end of her career. There's time for that once it's done. "When I think about it, it's really sad, but it hasn't hit me at all yet," Vertelka said. "I feel like senior weekend and going into the Big 12 Tournament it'll be emotional, but right now it's like any other day."

But after the way that Kansas' RITCH PRICE Coach for a three game series against Oklahoma State, Walz will have to play the role of 'stopper', and end the stretch of lopsided defeats. pitching staff was pounded by Texas Tech and Wichita State, the Jayhawks are looking to rebound in Stillwater. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO "We were pretty embarrassed by our performance, "He needs to walk out, set the tone and stop the bleeding," coach Ritch Price said. Adding to the overworked staff is the rash of injuries Kansas has faced at that position, including injuries to sophomore Lee Ridenhour and recently, junior closer Brett Bochy. but we've got to move past it and keep battling," junior reliever Wally Marceli said. Coach Price said that the Jayhawks undoubtedly miss both Ridenhour and Bochy, but have made due without them and will continue to. Many of Kansas' pitchers have been forced to throw extensive innings lately, but they still aren't willing to make excuses for their ineffectiveness in recent games. "We can tell people have been tired, but that's our game," senior pitcher Cameron Selik said. "It's part of the grind we go through." "You can't live on would have, should have, could have" he said. Price said regardless of the injuries and adverse situations thrown at this Kansas team, he's proud of how his club has responded to it. "They haven't let any of that stuff affect how they play." Price said. "That's not the team we are" Selik said. But the results on the field still have to match up with that confident and gritty mentality. And it begins with pitching, which has been largely ineffective of late. "When you get good starting pitching, it carries over to every other aspect of the game," coach Price said. Edited by Cory Bunting So once again, Walz will take the mound on Friday, where his teammates hope he will deliver an outing that provides the rest of "When he brings that energy back into the dugout it pumps us up even more," Marcel said. "Our whole club loves it." the lajhawk pitchers with added confidence. COMMENTARY BY TIM DWYER Josh Selby became the number one overall recruit in the country Thursday, according to Rivals.com's latest rankings. Predictably, Kansas basketball fans were stoked. My roommates called and texted me and each other. The Twitterverse blew up with "Yay, Selby!" tweets. There wasn't a parade, but I'm sure someone considered organizing a barhop down Mass. Street in Selby's honor. But this doesn't really change anything. Selby's still 6-foot-2, 180-some pounds and can jump out of the freaking gym. He's still got NBA range and the ability to be a lockdown defender. None of this is new. He had all this when he was rated No. 4 overall. 1 Tough to keep top recruit One thing of note, though. While there has been unquestioned success at the college level for Rivals' top recruits, it has largely been on the individual level, and it has been notably brief. Exactly zero of the four No. 1's since 2006 have won a national title - Greg Oden came the closest in advancing to the title game. There is good reason to be excited, though. Rivals' rankings are pretty widely considered the best indicators of future college success, and this means Selby will forever be in the Jayhawk history books as the most highly touted recruit of at least the Bill Self-era. Granted, it is a nice moment for Kansas fans to break up John Calipari's run of No. 1 overall recruits. Brandon Knight, who fell from the top spot to sixth in the rankings, would have been Coach Cal's second in a row – and he already has a commitment from next year's No. 1 and No. 2 players, Mike Gilchrist and Marquis Teague. Exactly zero of the four No. 1's since 2006 have stayed beyond the requisite one year in college. Not to mention, when you look at the success of Rivals' past No.1 rated recruits, though, there is a whole lot of talent. Mullens is the only top-rated recruit in Rivals.com's history (since 2003) who didn't forgo college for the NBA Draft or wasn't named a first team All-American in their freshman year of college. It's been four years since high school stars had to make their way to the college game for at least one year. In that span, two top-rated recruits have won freshman of the year. One was Michael Beasley, whom Kansas fans remember all too well. The other was John Wall, who by all accounts was a once-in-a-decade kind of recruit. Greg Oden was tops in 2006 and lost out to Kevin Durant. B.J. Mullens was the highest-rated in 2008 and was a disappointment at Ohio State, while Memphis' Tyreke Evans won the award. Kansas fans didn't exactly take Xavier Henry's departure lightly and he basically put out a press release saying he was only going to stay for one year before he showed up on campus. What happens if Selby does the same? Edited by Kelly Gibson
