BIG MONEY ROTC Student won $10,000 last month from the lottery BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com Tyler Stimac received an extra Christmas present this year — $10,000, courtesy of the Kansas Lottery. Stimac, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., and an active-duty Marine, won on a $1 Quick Pick ticket Dec. 29. He said he had forgotten about the ticket until he was restlessly throwing out old numbers several days after the drawing. After he checked the numbers online at 3 a.m. while fighting insomnia, he woke his wife, Ashley, to share the news. "She was mad at me" Stimac said. "She thought I was joking and said, 'that's not even funny.' But the cash was no joke — though the phone calls Stimac gets to buy breakfast for his fellow ROTO members may be. The couple put the money toward improvement of their home and paying off some Christmas debt. "It's not a huge sum, but it's really nice just to have it as a cushion," Stimac said. — Edited by Helen Mubarak ODD NEWS Owl attacks Chico the chihuahua CRYSTAL LAKE, III. — An owl attack has left a 4-pound Chihuahua with a healthy fear of the dark.

After being welcomed and processed, the cadets spent the afternoon watching a drill ceremony and using the rock-climbing wal at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. "We still have people enroling, but it's fair to say we'll have more [cadets] than last semester," Lieutenant Glenn Ryman said "We start talking to people when they are juniors in high school." Sara Meyer, a senior from New London, Iowa, has a familyhistory in the armed forces and made the decision to join the University's Army ROTC program this semester. "Ive thought about iton and off since high school, but I've thought about it more seriously the past couple of years," Meyr said. "It's the right decision for ne." Meyer said she dd not have any expectations going into orientation, but was excited to get into a routine. "Once all that's established, you get into it and just becomes a part Paul Bender, a senior from Lawrence, joined the Army's ROTC program last fall and remembers his cadet orientation well. of who you are," Meyer said. "I'm having all the standard emotions I'm excited to meet other cadets and become more familiar with the program." "It's definitely something to be nervous about," Bender said.

PEACOCK U.S. ARMY "Uniforms are always the coolest part; everyone always wants their uniforms right away," he said. Bender looks back fondly on getting his uniform at orientation as well.

GOVERNMENT University to receive increase in gov. funding BY ADAM STRUNK atrunk@kansan.com University administrators and student body leaders said they were encouraged by Gov. Sam Brownback budget proposal for the 2012 fiscal year. Because of the state's $550 million shortfall and the budget cuts Brownbak promised in his State of the State address, university officials worried that the University of Kania would end up on the choppingblock. "I was pleasantly surprised," Student Body President Michael Wade Smith said. "We were excited by the news that Gov. Sam Brownback did not propose additional cuts." With the proposed budget, the University would receive about $140 million from the state general fund for the 2012 fiscal year, a $2.7 million increase from this year's funding. This apparent victory for higher education comes after student body leaders from across the state traveled to Topeka to lobby then governor-elect Brownback to increase state funding for colleges and universities. The leaders delivered 3,000 postcards signed by students supporting the Board of Regents' plan to increase funding for state universities by $50 million. "We personally delivered them to his office and we got to speak with him briefly." Smith said. "He was clearly not the happiest man to be bombedard with post cards when he walked into office." Though proponents of higher education funding may have gained an early victory, the budget proposal still has to be enacted by the state legislation. In a statement, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said, "The governor's budget is the first step in the process, and while it is an encouraging step, we cannot make assumptions about funding until the budget is passed and signed into law" Smith said he remained cautiously optimistic about the future. "I have been in school at KU since 2007 when we started having the economic drama, so I try not to get overly optimistic," he said. "I would be ecstatic if we didn't get any more cuts, but I am not ready to make the public prediction. It will still take a lot of work with the state legislation." — Edited by Helen Mubarak SNOW (CONTINUED FROM 1A) subsided. The street maintenance crews worked around the clock in anticipation of the storm pretreating all roads with sand and/ or salt. The Lawrence Transit and KU on Wheels remained operational on Thursday, although a couple of stops around campus were closed and re-routed. "Basically hills are the problem," said Derek Meier, a senior from Independence, Kan. Meier and the transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels said any time conditions aren't ideal, times are going to be delayed. Thursday was the first day of full-service for KU on Wheels and Meier said there were actually more buses running on Thursday than on Wednesday. Meier expected everything to be back on schedule for the first day of classes. But the clear skies and sunshine will only provide temporary relief for students and Lawrence residents. According to the National Weather Service, there is a chance of flurries Friday afternoon and a 50 percent chance of snow for Lawrence Saturday night into Sunday with an expected accumulation of a couple of inches. — Edited by Marla Daniels ODD NEWS Man settles lawsuit after being hit by lid DETROIT — A Detroit-area man who says he was knocked unconscious by an exploding lid has settled his lawsuit against a grocer and a food company. Trial was scheduled last week in federal court. But Darryl Alexander's attorney, Mark Miller, said Tuesday he reached an agreement with Kroger Co. and Del Monte Foods. He offered no details. In November, Kroger and Del Monte offered $150,000 but it was rejected as too low. Alexander says a stubborn lid on a jar of fruit flew through the air and struck him in the eye after he hit it with the handle of a screwdriver in 2008. The Southfield man claimed the fruit was sold after its expiration and gas built up in the jar. Bird-watcher finds his damaged van Messages seeking comment were left with Kroger and Del Monte. PORT ANGELES, Wash. — While Devan Miller was bird watching recently on Olympic Peninsula, he saw bald eagles, kingfishers, woodpeckers and his stolen Volkswagen Vanagon Miller told The Peninsula Daily News the van was so badly damaged he almost didn't recognize it. The top and side panels had been cut off and the dashboard ripped apart. Miller has little hope of finding whoever took the van from his Port Angeles driveway.

NATIONAL NEWS Tragedy reminds us of the basics of civility As the shock wears off and the tragedy in Tucson becomes old news, the conversations triggered by the shooting rampage must continue. But before we can address the complex issues brought to the surface by the tragedy—politics, gun control and mental illness—we must start with the basics: we must talk about how we talk to one another. BRUNO MENDES In a world that measures progress in nanoseconds and gigabytes, where we limit conversations to 140 characters or less, the art of civil, meaningful discourse has been lost. To learn from this tragedy, we must push back against popular culture, slow down and think. When we rush, we miss the important underlying issues as the media demonstrated in the past two weeks. Many quickly blamed the tragedy on the acidic rhetoric that has engulfed our politics. Although the shooter, Jared Loughner, was influenced more by mental illness than politics, our politicians and pundits are by no means innocent bystanders. As the facts of the tragedy became known, our politicians and pundits acted in bad faith, breaking the good Samaritan law of civility as both liberals and conservatives stood on the sidelines, disavowed themselves from Loughner and attacked the other party. The tragedy sheds light on how out of control our rhetoric has become. A sad comment, indeed, when it takes a massacre to realize the madness of our political dialogue. Slowly—too slowly—many realized that mental illness was the prime suspect. Loughner's instructors, administrators and fellow students at Prima Community College saw signs of his mental illness. A math teacher said he was "somewhat paranoid" every time he turned his back to write on the board, fearing Loughner might pull a gun. Mental illness too, often gets glossed over and passed over to somebody else, anvbody else, nobody else. BY D.M. SCOTT scott@kansan.com That's America's solution to mental illness. The signs were ignored. And we are too busy bickering to notice the problem, a problem that is all around us. The U.S. homeless population stands at more than 670,000, nearly half of which suffer some form of mental illness, according to The National Alliance to End Homelessness. Answers such as "get a job" and "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" contribute to a discourse that goes nowhere and only highlights how far we are from real solutions. We witnessed this dismissive, uncivilized rhetoric once the political vitriol subsided and epithets such as "crazy" and "nut job" were used to describe the mentally ill shooter. Our toxic words just spill over from politics to social issues. If we can't civilly talk about what's really at stake, solutions will remain elusive. The Rev. Al Sharpman made this point on "Meet the Press" last Sunday. "The leadership of the country is so acrimonious and so busy with a poisonous debate themselves, we will never be able to get to dealing with those that are mentally ill or those that are isolated," he said. "The problem is that the leadership is so busy taking shots at each other." Many obstacles stand in the way of meaningful discourse, including the example set by our representatives in Washington. We must also remember what we have going for us: we're human and have the ability to recognize when we've gone awayward and recalculate.

SO YOU COME HERE! NICHOLAS SAMBALUK INTERNATIONAL POLITICS Competition with China overshadows meaningful growth This week's screening of Mr. Hu Goes to Washington offered commentators an opportunity to highlight areas where the world's top two economic powers can cooperate. Although agreement remains elusive progress demands U.S.-Chinese collaboration on challenges such as the global economic recovery, trade, climate change, proliferation in Iran and North Korea, and the instability in Pakistan (a major trading partner of China). But for all the talk of fostering enhanced bilateral relations, rhetoric about a rivalry persists. Many Americans believe the great power competition weighs heavily in China's favor. MATT SCHULTZ A recent survey by the Pew Research BY LUKE BRINKER 1brinker@kansan.com To be sure, the People's Republic performance is impressive. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. forecasts that China's gross domestic product—the value of the goods Center found that 47 percent of Americans saw China as the world's top economic power. Only 31 percent correctly responded that the U.S. remains atop the global economic food chain. After all, when China holds nearly $1 trillion in U.S. Treasury debt, an inferiority complex can develop. Why the misperception? and services produced in a year—will increase by a robust 10 percent in 2011. Meanwhile, the bank reckons U.S. GDP will also increase, but by a more modest 2.7 percent. Coming to par with the U.S. means logging years of high GDP growth. China looks on track to do so, but storm clouds could be on the horizon. Analysts question China's potentially overheated property market. Restive regions like Tibet and Xinjiang Province could be flash points, as well. Anyone who stayed awake in an introductory economics class knows those numbers paint an incomplete picture. Simply put, China started from a much lower economic base. When one looks at per-capita GDP, China has to do a lot more to lift its population out of poverty. The International Most important, an obsessive focus on economic issues clouds more essential concerns as the U.S. ponders its future. A vibrant economy is a necessary—not sufficient—condition to national happiness. In her recent book, "Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities." Martha Nussbaum asks whether we seek economic growth as an end in itself or as a means to more important ends. Much has been made about the supposed need to emulate the test-driven Chinese model. Monetary Fund ranks the U.S. sixth at $47,123 per person, China, sandwiched between Bosnia and Herzegovina and El Salvador, is ranked 93rd at $7,518. HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOP LETTER GUIDELINES Even as the U.S. seeks to maintain its position as the world's top economic power, it's worth remembering why we seek economic growth in the first place. Setting aside the U.S.'s continued predominance, isn't it okay to focus on the pursuit of more than just life, liberty, and GDP? A recent story in the Los Angeles Times brought attention to the dark side of China's drive to perform.

The tragedy sheds light on how out of control our rhetoric has become. A sad comment, indeed, when it takes a massacre to realize the madness of our political dialogue. Slowly—too slowly—many realized that mental illness was the prime suspect. Mental illness too, often gets glossed over and passed over to somebody else, anybody else, nobody else. BY D.M. SCOTT scott@kansan.com Loughner's instructors, administrators and fellow students at Prima Community College saw signs of his mental illness. A math teacher said he was "somewhat paranoid" every time he turned his back to write on the board, fearing Loughner might pull a gun. That's America's solution to mental illness. And we are too busy bickering to notice The signs were ignored. the problem, a problem that is all around us. The U.S. homeless population stands at more than 670,000, nearly half of which suffer some form of mental illness, according to The National Alliance to End Homelessness. Answers such as "get a job" and "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" contribute to a discourse that goes nowhere and only highlights how far we are from real solutions. We witnessed this dismissive, uncivilized rhetoric once the political vitriol subsided and epithets such as "crazy" and "nut job" were used to describe the mentally ill shooter. Our toxic words just spill over from politics to social issues. If we can't civilly talk about what's really at stake, solutions will remain elusive. The Rev. Al Sharpton made this point on "Meet the Press" last Sunday. "The leadership of the country is so acrimonious and so busy with a poisonous debate themselves, we will never be able to get to dealing with those that are mentally ill or those that are isolated," he said. "The problem is that the leadership is so busy taking shots at each other." Many obstacles stand in the way of meaningful discourse, including the example set by our representatives in Washington. We must also remember what we have going for us: we're human and have the ability to recognize when we've gone wayward and recalculate.

NICHOLAS SAMBALUK INTERNATIONAL POLITICS Competition with China overshadows meaningful growth This week's screening of Mr. Hu Goes to Washington offered commentators an opportunity to highlight areas where the world's top two economic powers can cooperate. Although agreement remains elusive, progress demands U.S.-Chinese collaboration on challenges such as the global economic recovery, trade, climate change, proliferation in Iran and North Korea, and the instability in Pakistan (a major trading partner of China). But for all the talk of fostering enhanced bilateral relations, rhetoric about a rivalry persists. Many Americans believe the great power competition weighs heavily in China's favor. After all, when China holds nearly $1 trillion in U.S. Treasury debt, an inferiority complex can develop. A recent survey by the Pew Research BY LUKE BRINKER 1brinker@kansan.com Center found that 47 percent of Americans saw China as the world's top economic power. Only 31 percent correctly responded that the U.S. remains atop the global economic food chain. To be sure, the People's Republic performance is impressive. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. forecasts that China's gross domestic product—the value of the goods Why the misperception? and services produced in a year—will increase by a robust 10 percent in 2011. Meanwhile, the bank reckons U.S. GDP will also increase, but by a more modest 2.7 percent. Anyone who stayed awake in an introductory economics class knows those numbers paint an incomplete picture. Simply put, China started from a much lower economic base. Coming to par with the U.S. means logging years of high GDP growth. China looks on track to do so, but storm clouds could be on the horizon. Analysts question China's potentially overheated property market. Restive regions like Tibet and Xinjiang Province could be flash points, as well. When one looks at per-capita GDP, China has to do a lot more to lift its population out of poverty. The International Most important, an obsessive focus on economic issues clouds more essential concerns as the U.S. ponders its future. A vibrant economy is a necessary—not sufficient—condition to national happiness. In her recent book, "Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities," Martha Nussbaum asks whether we seek economic growth as an end in itself or as a means to more important ends. Much has been made about the supposed need to emulate the test-driven Chinese model. Monetary Fund ranks the U.S. sixth at $47,123 per person, China, sandwiched between Bosnia and Herzegovina and El Salvador, is ranked 93rd at $7,518.

New Athletic Director After a highly talked about search following the early departure of former athletics director Lew Perkins, incoming director Sheahon Zenger is finally starting to get comfortable. He still is traveling between Lawrence and Bloomington-Normal, Ill., home of Illinois State University, where he's leaving his post as athletics director to take over from interim director Sean Lester Feb. 1.

"I just get out of the way." Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little officially introduced Zenger in a media conference Jan. 3. Throughout the conference, Gray-Little and search committee chair Ray Evans emphasized the importance of Zenger's integrity. "During the process, we heard a term about Sheahon that we liked - 'eagle scout.' Evans said, in reference to the search committee's approval of Zenger's record. access to the search committee's approval of Zenger's record. Zenger's contract with the University runs until June 30,2015,and grants an annual salary of $450,000. Other compensation includes a retirement plan as an employee of the Board of Regents, membership in one Lawrence country club, season football and basketball tickets and work-related access to the University's private aircraft. But restrictions in the contract — including terminating offenses — seem to be aimed at preventing some of the scandal associated with Perkins' era at the top of athletics. When asked about his thoughts on his contractual restrictions, Zenger said he was "perfectly happy to get behind the wheel" to meet with people rather than use the planes. and the wheel to meet with people rather than use the patient's Zenger spent his early childhood in Lawrence, earned bachelor's and master's degrees at Kansas State University and his doctorate at the University. He emphasized his role as an educator, with a strong background in coaching rooted in his first position as an assistant coach at Kansas State when he was 23. Since then, he has worked in football coaching especially recruitment at the University of South Florida and the University of Wyoming. Evans spoke bluntly of the committee's priority to find a candidate with a strong record improving football programs. ball programs. Under his leadership, athletics will serve to complement academics, with the athletics department working with other contributors to campus life, he said. He said that if athletics is the front porch of the University, then, student-athletes, students and faculty are welcome to contribute their "furniture" to the decor, explaining that we're all Kansans. welcome to contribute their furniture to the deacon, acquiring the "Ultimately," he said, "we are here to enhance the mission of the University." Fritzie lawsuit A Stilwell man injured during a party at the Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) house in September has filed a civil lawsuit seeking financial damages against the fraternity. Matt Fritzie, a freshman, was life-flighted to the University of Kansas Medical Center for head trauma after diving into a swimming pool at the annual "FJIJ Island" party the night of Sept. 17. He was transferred to a Denver-area rehabilitation hospital specializing in spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries later that month. rain injuries later that month. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants failed to protect Fritzie and other pledges. Events of tragedy, legality and new opportunities arise during time away The lawsuits alleges that the telecommunications company, the national Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, based in Lexington, Ky., would not comment on the Bill Martin, the executive director, said the litigation process was just beginning and that he had "no plans to release a meaningless statement" because he did not yet have sufficient information to respond to. The Kansas chapter was placed on a two-year suspension by the office of student success after an investigation into hazing. According to the University report on its hazing investigation, Fritzie said he was "ordered to swan-dive into the pool" during the party. Student deaths The University community mourned the loss of two students over the break. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little issued a statement Tuesday morning offering condolences to the family and friends of Elijah Taylor, a 21-year-old junior from Solomon, who died in a Wichita hospital Dec. 22. and friends of Elijah Taylor, a 21-year-old junior from Solomon, who died five weeks earlier. Wichita TV station KWCH reported on Dec. 22 that Salina police said Taylor had "jumped in front of traffic," on Interstate 135. The University community mourned the loss of two students over the break. Sharon Petrie, a fall 2010 graduate in public administration and history, was remembered in a service on Thursday. She died Jan. 1. in Overland Park. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little expressed the condolences of the University community in a media release Wednesday: "This tragic loss of a wife, mother, daughter, student and friend will be felt by many at the university and beyond. The loved ones of Sharon Petrie are in my thoughts and prayers." Petrie, 52, is survived by her husband and four children.

Rupprecht said. If a user wants a full synchronization they need to buy the third party product that will allow the synchronization. Rupprecht said the IT Department has commercial products available, such as Notify Sync and Astro Sync. The products are $49 a year and will synchronize the users calendar, contacts and inbox. However, Blackberry users have other options that they can take advantage of without paying a fee. If a Blackberry user wants to receive email to their hand held device they can synchronize their account so that they are able to receive account notifications. Outlook Web Access also offers a text notification service that alerts users when they receive an email. Another option is to set up a synchronization between the user's phone and email so that they are able to receive daily calendar of event notifications. are able to receive daily calendar or event notifications. Rupprecht said if anyone encounters any other problems service providers, such as AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint, are familiar with the KU email system and are able to help users synchronize the new email with their phone.

Wren lawsuit Douglas County district judge Michael Malone ruled in December that Jay Wren will not be allowed to seek punitive damages in his civil lawsuit against the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Jay's son, Jason, a 19-year-old freshman from Littleton, Colo., died in the SAE house March 8, 2009, from alcohol poisoning. The suit claims the national fraternity, the Kansas chapter and 10 unnamed SAE members were negligent in preventing Jason's death through allowing underage drinking in the house, which is against its stated policies, and failing to seek medical attention for Jason, who had sustained a head injury while intoxicated. failing to seek medical attention for jason, who had sustained a fracture in his leg. Malone did allow for another defendant to be added to the suit in the latest status conference. John Stacy was the president of Kansas Alpha, the business that owned the SAE house, at the time of the death. Wren and his lawyers claim he also bears responsibility in the wrongful death case. Malone also removed a plaintiff from the case, Jay's mother, Mary, who died last year. The trial was originally slated to begin in April but has been pushed back to allow Stacy to find counsel and prepare his defense. The Office of Student Success conducted an investigation in March 2009 but no disciplinary action was taken against the fraternity. Six girls...one chance to be a superstar.

Howard Ting/KANSAN Jayhawks will fight to defend their conference title against Longhorns BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com For one more day, at least, the Jayhawks will roost in a familiar lofty perch: squarely atop the Big 12 Conference. For one more day, Kansas — and Texas, the last team to share the Big 12 crown with Kansas — will be perfect. Roughly two hours after Saturday's 3 p.m. tipoff, though, one of those teams no longer will be. It is too soon to say Saturday's game will declare the conference champion, but without a second meeting between the two clear-cut best teams in the league, it will go a long way toward determining whether Kansas can win its seventh consecutive league title or if Texas can ascend to the throne. While Kansas coach Bill Self has often said that point guard is the most important position on the floor, this game will be won in the frontcourt, where Kansas' Morris twins and supersub Thomas Robinson will counter the Longhorns' starting trio of Jordan Hamilton, Tristan Thompson and Gary Johnson. Both teams are off the best win of the season — Kansas by 20 at Baylor, Texas by 21 at home against No. 10 Texas A&M — and both wins were fueled by brilliant performances in the frontcourt. Marcus and Markieff scored a combined 44 points on 19-of-24 shooting and pulled down 14 rebounds between them against Baylor. "That was by far the best we have played," Self said after the Jayhawks win against Baylor. "Of course, the twins were the best players in the game." Two days later and two hours south, Hamilton and Thompson scored a combined 45 points on 18-of-26 shooting and pulled down 14 rebounds between them against the Aggies.

All sports will be covered BY NICOLAS ROESLER When you try to replicate something life-changing like dunking the basketball for the first time for your friends, (not a moment in my life, I have no ups) it never goes as well as the first time you did it. It may be nerves, or the adrenaline, that leaves your legs and goes straight to your head. The Athletics Department, as a whole, experienced this success when students on campus weren't watching. Sure in the age of information, there is no such thing as turning a blind-eye to any news, but there are some things that happened over winter break that did pass unnoticed by many. The aim of this column, and of the sports section in general this semester, is to not let anything sports-related on campus go under the radar. That includes everything from the club ultimate frisbee teams to the men's basketball team. It seemed that when the Big 12 Conference wasn't paying attention to the women's basketball team, they flourished. Starting with a record of 13-1, it was the best start in 17 years. Once the eyes of Big 12 competition fell on the Jayhawks, they faltered a bit. However, they can always say: "Look what we did before you guys came into town!" It doesn't help that the team will face three Top 25 ranked teams in the coming Big 12 season. No. 1 ranked Baylor Bears buried the women like the snow that buried Lawrence on Wednesday night with the final score of 76-37, and the team don't have much time to reenergize before their game on Sunday against the No. 14 ranked Oklahoma Sooners. The track and field team has done what I won't even try to compare to my dunking metaphor. Sophomore thrower Mason Finley chucked a shot put 20.71 meters during the annual KU-MU dual. The throw has established the qualifying mark for both the 2011 World Championships and the 2012 Olympic games. The women's team does show a lot of promise with a strong sophomore forward in Carolyn Davis and sophomore guard Keena Mays, but they have to focus on continuing their non-conference success if they want their peers in the Big 12 to take note. He has single handedly thrown the track and field team into the spotlight. I can't wait to see if he can do it again, maybe on the biggest Lawrence stage, the Kansas Relays, coming in April. Sure the men's basketball team is looking to continue their unbeaten record and extend the nation's longest home winning streak to 70 against Texas tomorrow, but they can't let the attention of students returning to campus make their nerves spike against a tough Texas basketball team. This may be an irrational fear, seeing as though the eyes of both students and the nation haven't left the No. 2 ranked Jayhawks for a minute. Now that classes have begun, students will be talking about this and that, saying what they saw:who they saw do it, and how amazing it was. The University Daily Kansan, and myself as the sports section editor, will make sure those amazing happenings won't be missed, because it is always difficult to replicate greatness. - Edited by Samantha Collins 2B / SPORTS / FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money, money.

Kansas Athletics Sports as a sleep substitute MORNING BREW G ot anything to do between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.? Of course you don't. G Of course you don't. It's the first week of classes and very few of us are ready to fully recommit to normal sleeping habits after a 34-day respite from responsibility. For the insomniac sports fan, there's usually little to watch at night with the exception of SportsCenter reruns and Bowflex infirmaries. That can make a perfectly entertaining night, especially if Chuck Norris is on the Bowflex ads, but fortunately this week has even more to offer. Putting off sleep for sports is even more rewarding this week because of the Australian Open. I know, I know — it's tennis. You hate watching tennis. It's only exciting when Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal play, so maybe when the finals roll around you'll consider watching, right? (That'll be 2 a.m. on Sunday, January 29, by the way.) 10 This Australian Open merits a little more attention because it could be historic; maybe even once-in-a-lifetime. As you may or may not have heard, Rafael Nadal is vying for his fourth-straight major title. Seeing as there are only four Grand Slam tournaments, that's a big deal. It hasn't happened in 42 years, since BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW diminutive Aussie Rod Laver won all four Grand Slam tournaments in one year. If he wins, Nadal's "Rafa Slam" (as many creativity-lacking commentators have called it) still won't be a "true" grand slam because it didn't happen within one calendar year. Laver himself essentially said, "Sure, Nadal's accomplishment would be cool, but not nearly as cool as what I did. So there." (Paraphrased, of course.) But even if a 72-year-old Australian guy doesn't think it's all that great, it will still certainly be worth showing up to sylabus days a little bit groggy (or skipping them altogether, as I may or may not have done last year) to watch. Making it even more worthwhile is another person in the men's draw - Roger Federer, more commonly known as the greatest player of all time. Even though Nadal can't complete his slam between January and December, he has won each of the first three during Federer's time. That is probably one of the most impressive feats in sports history, no matter what Laver says. And if that's not enough drama to keep you awake until the sun rises, there's still the women's side of the tournament, where you have Belgian stay-at-home-mom/professional tennis player Kim Clijsters, going for her second major title since getting bored with simply caring for her 2-year-old daughter and coming out of retirement. Not to be outdone by Nadal, Venus Williams went for history as well by wearing 'the worst outfit ever seen on a tennis court'. Apparently it's inspired by Alice in Wonderland, which clearly goes hand-in-hand with tennis.

Finley threw the shot put 20.71 meters (67 feet, 11.5 inches) and, breaking a school record set by Karl Salb in 1970, according to a press release from the Athletics Department. Finley's throw is the best in the world since the beginning of the year and stands as an "A" standard qualifying mark for "It's a dream of mine. It won't be easy, but if I practice I'll have a shot," Finley said. The Jayhawks were successful in most aspects of the competition, winning first place in 21 events, compared to 13 for Missouri.

BOOKS V KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 2011 / SPORTS --- 3B SOFTBALL New season with hope of perfection BY HANNAH WISE BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Mental focus and preparedness are this season' goals for the women's softball team. The team is looking for perfection in every aspect of the game whether it is Mintgomery offense, defense or being mentally prepared. "Our philosophy this year is being big and being really locked into what we are doing every single pitch and every single play," said sophonore infielder Mariah Moltgomery. "We are almost there, but we can be there ten out of en times. We can be at that level." The team played six fall-ball seapn games in Lawrence against other teams from around the state and came away with a record of 5-1. The team had a few miscue and missed signals, however. These mishaps along with base running errors led to their 2-1 loss to Vashburn. Since then, the team has been working out to be stronger and fastir. The athletes reported to Lawrence for pre-season two-day on Jan. 13 despite the winter weather that has plagued the city While in Lawrence, the team worked on fundamentals and techniques and participated in eambuilding activities. The team left Lawrence on Jan. 17 for the Mustang softball Academy indoor facility in Widitna. The facility includes a fullsoftball field, batting ages and pitching lanes, giving theteam the ability to practice and perfect all aspects of the game. "We really focused on team defensive concepts and scrimmate," coach Megan Smith said. "The team has done rally well." The players are leaping to anticipate every pitch, hitor throw that ANSA comes their way and the coaches say they do see improvement. "We have seen just a different presence from the players out on the field every day," Smith said. "They are determined. They are focused. They have a lot of energy and they are focused in on every play." During the off-season, Smith announced the signings of five players for the 2011-2012 season. Lexi Bryant, Chanin Naudin, Alicia Pille, Cassen Salamone and Maddie Stein will join the Jayhawks in the fall. They will complement the current roster and add further depth. Bryant, a catcher from Chicago, was recently named an ESPN RISE High School All-American and was chosen as the Illinois Athlete of the Year during her junior year. "It is a really solid class," Smith said. "We are really excited about them. They are really good athletes who played comparable travel softball and have competed at the highest level." Also during the off-season, Smith named redshirt junior Liz Kocon and sophomores Montgomery and Alex Jones as captains. The captains will lead the 19-member team this spring. Kocon is back in the starting line up after a season-ending injury last season. Montgomery was named to the All-Big XII Second Team and will be returning to the infield for the Jayhawks. Coaches expect Jones to make a difference on the mound and in the outfield. The team is relatively young with only two seniors, but the strength provided by freshmen infielder Ashley Newman and pitcher Kristin Martinez will support the team. Freshman infielder Ashley Newman fields a ground ball at Arrocha Ballpark Wednesday. Kansas defeated Johnson County Community College. The team's first competition is Feb. 11-13 in Florida The Jayhawks continue to work in practices to prepare for their first weekend of competition in Jacksonville, Fla. on Feb. 11-13 Its first match up is against the University of North Carolina. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN - Edited by Tali David FOOTBALL KU wide receivers coach to leave for Texas BY KOXY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com After another stint on the Kansas coaciling staff, wide receiverscoach Darrell Wyatt accepted a job for the same position at the Wyatt University of Texas in Austin. ing to Lawrence last January. This will be Wyatt's fifth coaching stop in the big 12, with previous experience at Baylor, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Wyatt is originally from Killeen, Texas, which is less than 70 miles from the "The opportunity to get back to Texas was too much," Wyatt told KUAthletics.com in a Jan. 2 interview. Along with working with receivers, Wyatt was also a crucial part of Turner Gill's recruitment efforts. The 2011 recruiting class, which is currently ranked 31st in the country by rivals.com, shows three committed but unsigned players whom Wyatt recruited: defensive back Kenneth Lynn, receiverJaCorey Shepherd and quarterback Michael Cummings, all three-star recruits and all from Texas. It is unknown whether those recruits will keep their verbal commitments to Kansas, but it does seem likely all three will remain Jayhawks. Wyatt's departure welcomed the return of former coach David Beatty, who coached receivers in 2008 and 2009 and will have the same position under Turner Gill in 2011. Beatty returns after working at Rice in 2010 as the offensive coordinator, where his offense averaged more than 28 points per game. During his previous tenure in Lawrence, Beatty witnessed some of the most explosive offenses in school history, and he is most known for his work with former KU receivers Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier, who are currently in the NFL. While working with Beatty, Briscoe and Meier broke numerous KU receiving records, including receptions in a season, season yards, game yards and touchdowns in a season. The loss of receiver Johnathan Wilson notwithstanding, the 2011 receiving corps brings back a good chunk of last year's production. Senior Daymond Patterson led the team with 60 catches and 487 yards and looks to team with a stable of young talent including Bradley McDougald, Chris Omigie, DJ Beshears and incoming freshman ,JaCorey Shepherd. Beatty will probably focus Turner Gill and staff have landed the 31st best recruiting class in the nation according to rivals.com. Playing time was up for grabs in "The opportunity to get back to Texas was too much." DARRELL WYATT Wide recievers coach on keeping Shepherd in the fold as well as on continuing to recruit receivers. RECRUITMENT EFFORTS If fans want any sort of consolation after the rough year they just witnessed, it's right here; 2011, and the coaching staff was able to land a number of talented recruits on the premise of immediate experience. A m o n g those committed are four-star recruits Anthony Pierson and Darrian Miller. Pierson could see the field as a receiver or running back and had scholarship offers from Arkansas and Kansas State, among others. Miller, a running back from Blue Springs, Mo., had offers from Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas State, and Minnesota, and joins an already stacked running back group for the Jayhawks. Another potential starter in 2011 is quarterback Brock Berglund, who de-committed late from the University of Colorado before pledging his allegiance to Kansas. Likely sold on the potential of early playing time, the 6-foot-4 dual-threat quarterback graduated early and will be working out with the team this semester. The final hole pegged by the coaching staff was the offensive line, which struggled with injuries in 2010 and was already thin to begin with. The 2011 class has six offensive linemen committed who will help boost the line's numbers next season. —Edited by Helen Mubarak Q QUINTILES THE NUMBER #1 PLACE FOR CLINICAL RESEARCH Why Volunteers choose Quintiles: -Earn extra money for your time -Help advance medical research -Relaxing enviroment -Customer driven staff -State o the art facility -Flexible schedules 1 Cal 913-89-5533 Click STUDYFORCHANGE.COM Follow FACEBOOK.COM/ QUINTILESKC meadowbrook boundaries © Townehouse meadowbrook Аргентноментов & Транзитоментов More photos and floor plans on our website! www.meadowbrookapartments.net Create Your Memories.

A 69-game winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse will face arguably its toughest test since it began three years ago, but much more importantly for coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks, this game could be the single determining factor for the Big 12 title. If the winner runs the table in Big 12 play, the loser won't have a chance to catch up. Both teams are coming off a dominating win: Kansas by 20 on the road at Baylor, Texas by 21 against top 10 foe Texas A&M. AT A GLANCE PLAYER TO WATCH Sophomore forward Thomas Robinson Robinson two things. First, his grandmother's death could be weighing on him. She helped raise him, and he'd told reporters that he would rather not talk about it. Or it could be that the Morris twins have been playing so well that his minutes aren't as vital. He's played single-digit minutes in three of the four games since after playing single-digit minutes just once in the first 13 games. Whatever the cause, the Jayhawks will need Robinson to counter the deep Texas frontcourt. Robinson's struggles (3.5 points, 3.8 rebounds) since missing the UMKC game for his grandmother's funeral could be a product of QUESTION MARK Can the Morris twins avoid foul trouble? In his current four-game hot streak, Marcus Morris has yet to pick up more than two fouls in a game. Markieff hasn't been quite as successful, but he has played more than 20 minutes in all of his last four games, after being held beneath that because of foul trouble six times this year. The Morris twins will have to continue their stretch of no foul trouble against Texas, which has arguably the best frontcourt Kansas will have lined up against. Both Tristan Thompson and Jordan Hamilton have the ability to beat the twins off the dribble, which is a predominant cause of the twins' foul trouble. KANSAS VS. TEXAS 3 p.m.,ALLEN FIELDHOUSE,Lawrence PETER E. ROBERTS Taylor KANSAS 18-0,(3-0BIG12) STARTERS Tyshawn Taylor,guard The mercurial Taylor has struggled since Josh Selby joined the Kansas lineup. His turnovers are up slightly (3.0 before Selby, 3.2 since), and his scoring numbers (10.9 before, 7.0 since) and assist numbers (6.3 before, 3.8 since) are way down. That said, he's still the best player on the team at breaking a press and his 5.1 assists per game lead the team by a wide margin. --- Reed ★★★★☆ Tyrel Reed, guard Reed's development into a multidimensional threat has bolstered Kansas' offensive attack. He's still arguably the best shooter on the Kansas roster (though his 37.4 percent three-point mark is just fifth among regulars), and he has a knack for making clutch threes. His 2.9 to 1 assist to turnover ratio is top among the 11-man rotation. M. A. MBELEY Selby ★★★★☆ Morris Josh Selby,guard There is no denying Selby's infinite potential, but until he can harness his talent, the question of whether Kansas was better before him will linger. He's been inconsistent (three games scoring five or less) and turnover prone (zero games without multiple giveaways), and is, according to stat guru Ken Pomeroy's offensive rating statistic, the worst offensive player in Kansas' 11-man rotation. Marcus Morris, forward Morris has been on top of his game for the majority of the season, but in his last four games, he's been good enough to warrant first-team All-American talk. Since the Michigan game, Morris is averaging 24 points on 63 percent shooting and 9.8 rebounds. He'll need to avoid foul trouble against Texas' Tristan Thompson for the Jayhawks to come away with a win. ★★★☆ Markieff morris, for the Long known as the other Morris twin, Markieff has blossomed into a double-double machine and is no more than half a step behind Marcus in terms of all-around talent. Markieff is the better rebounder of the two (in fact, his 8.7 rebounds per game leads the Big 12), and his 13.4 points per game are second on the team. ★★★★★ Markieft Morris, forward TEXAS 15-3, (3-0 BIG 12) STARTERS Morris Balbay is the returning assist leader from a season ago with 106 in 27 games. He has been quiet this season, averaging 4.1 points per game.His assist numbers are down from a year ago, only averaging 2.3 per game this season. What Balbay does bring is leadership, one of two leaders in the starting lineup. I Dogus Balbay, guard Balbay ★★☆☆☆ Joseph was picked to contend for Freshman of the Year honors in the Big 12. He has had some big games and has had what Bill Self likes to call "freshman moments." Joseph is an athletic guard who can get to the paint. He also maintains possession of the ball. He is only averaging 1.5 turnovers a game compared to Josh Selby, who is averaging 3.2 turnovers per game. Cory Joseph,guard Joseph 10 ★★★☆☆ Gary Johnson, forward Johnson is averaging 12.1 points per game this season. He has taken the second most shots on the team converting 48.2 percent of them. He is averaging 7.1 rebounds per game. On Wednesday, Johnson scored 14 points on 6-9 shooting. He is one of three players to average 30-plus minutes per game. Tristan Thompson, forward ★★★☆☆ Thompson is second in scoring with 13.1 per game, but leads the team with a 53.8 shooting percentage. Thompson will most likely garner the defensive matchup of one of the Morris twins. He has been a superb freshman, leading the Longhorns with 7.7 rebounds per game and two blocks per game. He has been to the free-throw line the most out of any Longhorn (130), but is only shooting 49.2 percent from the charity stripe. JONATHAN MCKAY Johnson ★★★★☆ Brown is one of three three-point shooters for the Longhorns. He is shooting 33.9 percent on the season. Brown is a quick guard who can slash into the paint. He is the player Kansas does not want to foul if the game is close at the end because he is shooting a team-leading 87.2 percent. For as small as Brown is, he was second on the team with six rebounds on Wednesday. Jordan Hamilton, guard Thompson 1 Hamilton UT TIPOFF AT A GLANCE ★★★★★ Texas comes to Lawrence looking to remain the only undefeated team in the Big 12. On Wednesday, Texas defeated instate-rival No. 10 Texas A&M 81-60. The 11th ranked Longhorns had a huge collapse in the middle of last season. After being 17-0 and ranked No. 1 in the nation, the Longhorns went 7-10 in its last 17 games of the season. This season however does not seem to be heading in that direction. Texas is 3-2 against ranked teams with its losses coming to then ranked No. 4 Pittsburgh 68-66 and then ranked No. 9 Connecticut 82-81 in overtime. PLAYER TO WATCH Sophomore forward Jordan Hamilton DINGO Hamilton has come into his own this season. Last year he was overshadowed by the likes of NBA draftees Damion James, Avery Bradley and Dexter Hamilton ★★☆★★ — Mike Lavieri Pittman. Hamilton averaged 10 points per game a season ago. He is a bona fide scorer that will give Kansas' defenders fits. He is athletic with a great deal of explosiveness. The Morris twins can defend Hamilton, but Self will most likely use them to guard Gary Johnson and Tristan Thompson. Look for Brady Morningstar to guard Hamilton. Morningstar did a great deal on LaceDarius Dunn against Baylor, who is considered one of the best scorers in the Big 12. QUESTION MARK Can Texas stop the Morris twins? can texas stop the Morris twins? Baylor had a great amount of length on Monday with freshman forward Perry Jones ill and junior forwards Anthony Jones and J'mison Morgan all listed at 6-foot-10. Jones ill is considered to be one of the top prospects in the summer's NBA draft, but was not able to contain the twins. Marcus and Markieff proved to be too athletic and versatile for Baylor. However, Texas has Hamilton, Thompson and Johnson who all have a similar athletic style to that of the Morris twins. If Texas wants to be the streak stopper, it will have to contain Marcus and Markieff. -Tim Dwyer ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF... Josh Selby is on. Marcus Morris has been a picture of consistency this year. Selby's been the opposite. Kansas needs its wonderfrosh to return to 15 points-plus form, or else get a big game from Tyshawn Taylor or Tyrel Reed. The Morris twins won't be able to carry the load alone Saturday — not against a frontcourt as talented as Texas'. Prediction: BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF.. KU Kansas 71, Texas 65 The Jayhawks can't guard 6-foot-7 Jordan Hamilton. Hamilton has turned himself into one of the top three players in the league and is scoring 19.7 points per game on 47 percent shooting. Unless Kansas finds an answer for him defensively — perhaps Travis Releford, if he's healthy — Hamilton could be the difference maker for Texas.

Hamilton in particular will be a matchup nightmare for Kansas. At 6-foot-7, he has the length to play with Kansas' frontcourt but is also a 42 percent three-point shooter and has the ability to play on the wing or even as a primary ball handler. His 2.3 assists per game are good for third on the Longhorns, and he leads the team with 19.7 points per game. But Barnes did Self's Jayhawks one better. Self told Jason King of Yahoo Sports that the Barnes' team was the best in the league. "They're the best team in America, from what I've seen," Barnes said. "They have it all."

BY MIKE LAVIERI mavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/kansainball The Jayhawk's national leading home-court winning streak came to a screeching halt at 69 games on Saturday in a 74-63 loss to Texas. The winning streak, however, was not on the forefront of Kansas' mind coming into the game. The team simply wanted to win the game, not keep a streak alive. Coach Bill Self said the game that mattered the most to him was number 63 against Texas A&M Corpus Christi, which broke the longest home winning streak in school history. The last home-court loss for the Jayhawks, before Saturday, came on Feb. 3, 2007 to another Texas school: Texas A&M. The Aggies defeated the Jayhawks 69-66, 1450 days ago, or three years, 11 months and 20 days. Brady Morningstar is the only current player who experienced the loss that night. "You never like to lose," Morningstar said. "Obviously we had a streak going, but we aren't playing for the sake of a streak. All losses hurt, especially ones at home, but they happen to everybody." The Jayhawks hope to start a new streak on Saturday when instate rival, Kansas State, comes to Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas' record was the 11th all-time among home-court winning streaks. Kentucky holds the record of 129 games that spanned 12 years from 1943-1955. Duke currently holds the longest streak at 30 games.

LAWRENCE Numerous 'For Sale' signs flood Lawrence businesses BY SHAUNA BLACKMON sblackmon@kansan.com Eighty-eight commercial buildings are up for sale in Lawrence, according to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Some buildings have been on the market for years, but many are recently listed. As businesses continue to close, Lawrence is experiencing a significant change in local and downtown business. Despite the economy and absence of students during winter break, not all of the companies plan to sell because of lack of income. One of the oldest buildings in Lawrence, which opened for business in the late 1880s, is among businesses for sale.

The Jayhawk's national leading home-court winning streak came to a screeching halt at 69 games on Saturday in a 74-63 loss to Texas. The winning streak, however, was not on the forefront of Kansas' mind coming into the game. The team simply wanted to win the game, not keep a streak alive. Coach Bill Self said the game that mattered the most to him was number 63 against The last home-court loss for the Jayhawks, before Saturday, came on Feb. 3, 2007 to another Texas school: Texas A&M. The Aggies defeated the Jayhawks 69-66, 1450 days ago, or three years, 11 months and 20 days. Brady Morningstar is the only current player who experienced the loss that night. "You never like to lose," Morningstar said. "Obviously we had a streak going, but we aren't playing for the sake of a streak. All losses hurt, especially ones at home, but they happen to everybody." The Jayhawks hope to start a new streak on Saturday when instate rival. Kansas State, comes to Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas record was the 11th all-time among home-court winning streaks. Kentucky holds the record of 129 games that spanned 12 years from 1943-1955.

Some buildings have been on the market for years, but many are recently listed. As businesses continue to close, Lawrence is experiencing a significant change in local and downtown business. Despite the economy and absence of students during winter break, not all of the companies plan to sell because of lack of income. One of the oldest buildings in Lawrence, which opened for business in the late 1880s, is among businesses for sale.

Jaci Matney, director of project and process management for IT Services, said the previous wireless system was not sufficient enough to allow all the students at Anschutz to get onto the system. "The goal is to allow the students who use Anschutz to be on wireless at any point in time and to be able to accommodate all of us that are there," Matney said. The funding for the wireless upgrade is somewhat complicated, said Karen Nicholas the communications coordinator for IT Services. The upgrade was funded in part through The Learning Studio, the renovated study space in Anschutz, and the remaining funding came through the Wireless Commons Project that is partially paid for through Student Senate. The wireless upgrade involved construction work to install access points and other associated equipment. In order to install the access points, additional work had to be done to the infrastructure and wiring. The construction work began on Dec. 20 and was originally slated to be completed before classes began on Jan. 21. The more intrusive stages of the construction were completed over break to prevent disruption. IT officials have not the new access points yet, but are scheduled to do so by the end of the week. The additional access points that were installed in Anschutz will enable more devices such as laptops and smartphones to access the wireless network and will increase the number of users at any given time. "I think users are going to notice right away when it is turned up," Matney said.

ART CONTRIBUTED PHOTO 3 Students display paintings, drawings and sculptures at the Graduate Student's Art Exhibition in the Art and Design Gallery Jan. 23 through Feb. 4. Students show work at exhibition BY WESTON PLETCHER wpletch@ku.edu Graduate students in the department of visual arts will begin the spring semester with the Graduate Student's Art Exhibition that will take place in the Art and Design Gallery, 1467 Jayhawk Blvd and will run Sunday, Jan. 23 through Feb. 4. The exhibit showcases a wide variety of art including paintings, drawings, sculptures and objects made from everyday utensils. Lyndsay Leisinger, a junior from Wellington, is an avid art fan at the University of Kansas. "It is really exciting to see students from KU showcasing their talents like this," she said. "It really goes to show just how talented students are and how creative they can be when they use everyday items to make a really unique piece of art." "I have always loved art because it comes so naturally to the artists," Leisinger said. "They really make it seem effortless." Undergraduate and graduate students will have more opportunities to have their artwork showcased in the gallery before the academic year is complete. Following the exhibit, the gallery is scheduled to host 11 more public exhibitions throughout the spring semester. Leisinger said she planned on attending future exhibits at the gallery. "When students create something this incredible everyone needs to get out and see it," Leisinger said. — Edited by Samantha Collins APARTMENT HOMES FOR STUDENTS Fully furnished: leather furniture, optional wood floors & most utilities included Pool, free tanning, fitness center, sand volleyball and basketball courts.

Some popular destinations are abandoned, while others thrive with patrons wary of the student scene. BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE Inlightengale@kansan.com Local bar management says the students' return to campus rejuvenates the bar scene in Lawrence. Nancy Longhurst, general manager at The Cave, 1200 Oread Ave, said she expected the students' return to boost business. "Look at our location," said Rob Farha, owner of The Wheel. Farha pointed out that most housing near The Wheel is rental property, which tends to empty during breaks. At 14th and Ohio, The Wheel depends on student Bars near campus take a dip in earnings during University of Kansas breaks. Establishments like these depend on student patrons to support business. consumers for income. When student bar's patrons and employees leave Lawrence, the establishment closes. The Cave is also very close to campus. Like the Wheel, The Cave closed after finals week and reopened last weekend, when students returned to Lawrence. Downtown bars such as Tonic, 728 Massachusetts, and Quinton's. 615 Massachusetts, remained open during break with success. Quinton's reported sales above average on weeknights during the holiday. Farha said basketball games fill the bar with alumni and out-of-town fans instead of the typical college-age crowd. During the winter break, some establishments hosted special events. The Cave opened on New Year's Eve and The Wheel operated for men's basketball home games. Mann said that Quinton's experiences an influx of business from locals when classes are out of session. Its smaller size keeps it closer to capacity during breaks, says Mann. "A lot of it's because other bars are closed and a lot of it's that we have kind of an older crowd anyway." Quinton's manager Greg Mann said. "We only need 100 people to fill up, where some of the other bars will take 400-500 people," Mann said.

Kevin Cook MOVIES 'No Strings Attached' succeeds at box office thanks to women MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — With football playoffs dominating the pop culture landscape this past weekend, Paramount Pictures' hope with "No Strings Attached" was to get a good number of women out to movie theaters. It succeeded, as the friends-with-benefits comedy starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher opened to a solid $20.3 million, according to studio estimates, to win the weekend; 70 percent of attendees were women, exit polling showed. It was the only new picture to open nationwide, continuing what has been a slow January at the box office. "No Strings Attached" is the first mainstream romantic comedy starring Portman, who also executive produced, and marked a healthy start in the genre. It was the highest opening for the actress outside of the "Star Wars" pictures and comic book adaptation "V for Vendetta." For Kutcher, it was a virtual tie for the best openings of movies he has starred in, alongside the romantic comedies "Guess Who" and "What Happens in Vegas." The film cost Paramount and its financing partners Spyglass Entertainment and Cold Spring Pictures only about $25 million to produce, meaning it should be a modest success based on its debut. Future performance will depend more on younger audiences, as those under 25 gave it an average grade of A-minus, according to market research firm CinemaScore. Moviegoers older than 25 gave it a B. The previous weekend's two new movies had typical drops, indicating that word-of-mouth is neither good enough to make them long-lasting hits nor bad enough to make them sink quickly. Receipts for the Seth Rogen action-comedy "The Green Hornet" declined 46 percent to $18.1 million, bringing its box-office total to a respectable $63.4 million. The Kevin James-Vince Vaughn adult comedy "The Dilemma" dropped 45 percent to $9.7 million for a soft but not terrible $33.4 million total. "The King's Speech" demonstrated that it continued to be the hot indie drama of the moment as ticket sales didn't decline at all from the previous weekend, repeating at $9.2 million, a sign of extraordinary word-of-mouth. Even accounting for the 137 new theaters the Weinstein Co. added to the run of the historical drama, ticket sales at existing locations were down only 9 percent. Its domestic box-office total is now a strong $58.6 million. The Mark Wahlberg boxing drama "The Fighter" also had a very strong hold, dropping only 11 percent to $4.5 million and increasing its total domestic box office to $73 million. Both movies, along with others such as "Black Swan" that are still in theaters, will look for a box office boost next weekend following the announcement of Academy Award nominations on Tuesday. The unemployment drama "The Company Men," which stars Ben Affleck and Tommy Lee Jones and was directed by veteran television producer John Wells, opened to an unimpressive $767,328 at 106 theaters. It had a one-week run at two theaters in December to qualify for the 2010 Oscars. MOVIES Sundance science documentary revives questions on language MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Among the offerings at this year's Sundance Film Festival is a documentary about a trailblazing chimpanzee named Nim Chimpsky who played a key role in the scientific debate over what it means to be human. The James Marsh film, "Project Nim," explores the life of the primate _ cheekily named after linguist Noam Chomsky _ that was raised like a human child and taught American Sign Language in the 1970s in an effort to prove that language was not exclusive to humans. IRENTY HALL accessibility info (785) 749-1972 644 Mass. 749-1912 FAIR GAME (PG13) 4:30 7:00 9:25 BLACK SWAN (R) 4:40 7:10 9:35 mainep monday all fax $6.00 Four decades later, the questions raised by the experiment are still far from settled. As an infant, Chimpsky was taken to live with the LaFarge family in New York City. There, among seven human "siblings," he was raised just as a human child, taught to sign, dressed in sweaters, even breastfed from his human foster mother. "It was really 'Brady Bunch Plus Chimp', with a mess of children coming and going," said Elizabeth Hess, whose book "Nim Chimpsky: The Chimp Who Would Be Human" served as the foundation for the film. Other researchers had already reported that a female chimp named Washoe could not only use words in sign language but was structuring her responses too _ a sign that the broad strokes of syntax were emerging in her mind. Terrace wanted to use more rigorous methods to prove that point, and perhaps take it further. The arrangement was intended to settle a longstanding feud between Chomsky and psychologist B.F. Skinner about whether language was the key factor that separated humans from other animals, Hess said: "Skinner argued that even chimps could acquire language and Chomsky said language was exclusive to humans." One of Skinner's disciples, a cognitive scientist named Herbert Terrace, decided to prove Chomsky wrong using the linguist's own principles. Red Lyon Tavern After the four-year study, however, Terrace said he found there was little evidence the chimpanzee was engaging in anything approaching language.

MIUCCIA PRADA Sometimes Miucia Prada can be a tough riddle to unravel when it comes to inspiration, but this season's theme was as easy to see as the three-page show invitation printed on see-through plastic; the striated, stacked and meticulously sliced finger sandwiches served to arriving guests; and the double-decker runway framed in wrought iron fencing designed by architect Rem Koolhaas. We're talking layers here, people. Not the jacket-over-sweater-over-shirt kind of layers — although that was certainly part of it — but layers of personality, mood and time. 4.

And that isn't the one that happened on the basketball court. just made all the brahs wanna flush their stashes. Get on my level. Losing a game isn't as hard as the losses Thomas Robinson has had to face in the last two weeks. Let's keep it in perspective, and keep him in our thoughts. O over winter break, Old Navy began advertising their Goga pants, which the company HUMOR asserts, give women an "instant yoga butt," or as Urban Dictionary defines ,"the ultimate external sign of a strong and powerful body." "It's not fair," he said. "They have Wonderbras, Spanx and bug-eyed sunglasses. Now this? Women are such liars!" Whether this anecdote affirms or offends, a lot of men, like Kyle, find these items confusing. I understand. They give the appearance of something that may or may not be there, like Jesus on that piece of toast. Consequently, these commercials vexed my high school friend Kyle, a Tucker Max acolyte. Now men have answer to the Wonderbra Ironically, a few days after Kyle's rant, while at the mall, I overheard a retail salesman tell a shopper pea coats do wonders for the male physique. BY MATTHEW MARSAGLIA mmsarsaglia@iansan.com While driving home, I considered this instead of paying attention to the oncoming traffic swerving to avoid me. I pictured the Unabomber wearing a pea coat. I did the same with Voldemort, Steve Buscemi and Frank The Bunny. They all looked like regal, venerable men-hallucinations. Then I thought of vampires, the best-dressed villains we've thought of yet, (which is weird because vampires can't look in mirrors), and it all made sense: Pea coats are the man-version of the Wonderbra — they are our yoga pants. They are the man's They give the allusion of charm and character when the person wearing it may or may not actually possess charm and character. A pea coat represents a certain archaic, reparable soul of man. Wonderbra. Some might argue that tuxedos have the same effect, but it's impractical to wear a tuxedo every day unless you're Pee-wee Herman (and he's a pervert). Like tuxedos, I've never met a woman who's disapproved of the pea coat. The pea coat shows that a certain amount of effort to look good was expended. Perhaps, just as much as the Goga pants. Though I've never timed it, putting on a pea coat likely takes less time and effort than the overly advertised butt-transforming Goga pants and does an equally good job of accomplishing the intended result. The pea coat is also timeless. Perhaps because of its Naval origins and the only military-inspired fashion that's been stalwart throughout the years. Although I generally loathe clichés, I also can't help but buy into the idea that, subconsciously, everyone has respect for a soldier, or in this case, a civilian in uniform. The pea coat also puts men on a more level playing field. When a man wears a pea coat, it becomes difficult to discern his physique, unless it's already overly discernable. Like the Wonderbra or the yoga pants, which have a documented effect on males and bridges the gap between the haves and have-nots, the pea coat makes physique less of an issue. So, males, do your best for yourself and the American economy and buy a pea coat. God bless America, and gods bless the pea coat. Marsaglia is a senior in English from Naperville, Ill. LGBT Really gay advice on... paying for dinner Despite a rise in more egalitarian relationships, it's still commonly assumed—in a heteronormative world—that the guy (penis) should buy dinner for the girl (vagina). But what is the rule when the date involves two guys (penises)? My girlfriends always ask me, "So, who pays for the meal?" as I'm filling them in on my most recent endeavor. Most of the time, they assume the person who typically plays a more active sex role (top) pays for the person who typically plays a more passive sex role (bottom). This is a fair assumption on their part; however, that assumption poses two major issues: Most gay men don't walk around with signs on their foreheads reading, "I'm receptive, so you're buying"—though some of them may attempt to imply it with the right shoes and brow structure—and I think it's safe to say asking someone if they take it up the butt just before the first date might not be the most socially graceful approach and could actually result in your date suddenly having to cancel because he's bloated and "can't fit into [his] jeans." Plus, not all gay men prefer one role or the other. In fact, most of them don't. Sex talk and finances can be very awkward conversations, especially at the beginning of any courtship; you don't even know the person! In the case of gay men and paying for dinner, it's important to set a few ground rules: First, if you extended the dinner invitation, you should plan on, at least, paying for your own meal, and it would be courteous to pick up the whole check. For the person receiving BY JAMES CASTLE icastle@kansan.com the dinner invitation, you should also plan on paying for yourself, but it certainly wouldn't be impolite for you not to pick up the whole check. Second, if you're going on a date with an older man who's not in college, then common sense says he should pick up the check. A working professional should not allow a college student to buy—that's tacky. And college gays, a good date will likely reject this, but it's always a nice gesture to offer to pay for your own meal. Third, students should split the check. Let's say the dinner idea was a team effort, or the invitation was ambiguous and you're both poor college students. In this case, each person should go into the date expecting to pay for his own food. There is nothing wrong with not having enough money for two when you're in school and in pursuit of a goal. If the other person insists on paying for the meal, it would be polite, if you can, to offer to pick up the check next time, which, bee-tee-dubs, is also a good way to hint at wanting to go out with that person again.

Too many secrets result in too many laughs The organization virtually unheard of a year ago is now a household name and a staple in our pop culture: "Saturday Night Live" has a recurring sketch in which Bill Hader impersonates WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. NBC's 30 Rock often uses the verb "weaking" in reference to the organization. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton makes light of the organization, too. In reference to her recent trip across Asia, in which she had to answer leaders' concerns about WikiLeaks, Secretary Clinton joked, "I want to get one of those really sharp-looking jackets that rock 'n' roll groups have ... It could say 'The Apology Tour.'" There's even a martini called WikiLeaks White Elephant sold in bars across the country. POLICE OFFICER Despite the absurdness of Assange, Assange and his organization published thousands of classified documents submitted by anonymous sources, including thousands of United States diplomatic cables. The organizations website said that its goal is better transparency in order to create a less corrupt society and support democracy. BY MEGAN ADAMS madams@kansan.com WikiLeaks ought to be taken seriously by our leaders. Take our relationship with Argentina for example. WikiLeaks leaked a diplomatic cable in which Secretary Clinton doubted the mental health of Argentinian While the organization's benefits and services can be debated its drawbacks for U.S. international relations are clear. President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. "The Economist" noted that in a separate leaked cables the former Argentinian President Nestor Kirchner and the current president's ex-husband are referred to as a "psychopath" and a "monster." Since the leaks, our ties with Argentina have been weak at best and have even given fuel to our regional nemesis Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has expressed his solidarity with Argentina. WikiLeaks' impact on U.S.-Russian relations has been considerably more turbulent. According to "Time," in a cable leaked in February of last year, a Spanish investigator claimed Russia has become a "mafia state," and that former President Vladimir Putin himself has worked with criminals. Even worse, separate cables joke that current Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is virtually powerless, and he "plays Robin to Putin's Batman." The Obama Administration has worked diligently to conduct a "reset" To put things in perspective, our relations with other countries can be mended and WikiLeaks will inevitably end as it fights to defend its legality. However, the glaring incompetence in our government's ability to keep its secrets will take years, if not decades, to fix. "Time" reported that between 1996 and 2009 the amount of information the government has deemed "secret" rose by 75 percent. Is it possible that rather than bury secrets deeper as a result of WikiLeaks the government ought to designate less intelligence as "secret?"

Participants had 48 hours to analyze the company's place in the electric vehicle market. For a group of graduate students in the school of business, last week was a blur. Jake Mooney, a first-year MBA student from Overland Park, joined 15 other MBA students to participate in an intense two-day case competition with Westar Energy. "I haven't had much sleep in the past couple days," Mooney said. "But it was a good experience." MBA students have the opportunity to participate in case competitions every year, usually during winter break, said Wayne Thomas, communications coordinator for the School of Business. These competitions start with a presentation by a sponsoring company that is unknown to the students until the first meeting. The students, working in teams of four or five, then have about 48 hours to analyze the company and formulate a plan to address a problem the company is facing. The teams then deliver 25-minute presentations to a panel of judges, including executives with the sponsoring company. "These case competitions are just a very exciting thing for our MBA students because they're one of the closest things you can get to real world work as possible," Thomas said. This year, Westar Energy sponsored the competition and asked students to analyze the company's place in the electric vehicle market. Westar representatives challenged the teams to consider what opportunities are available in the market and how the company can help promote electric vehicle adoption, Thomas said. "The electric vehicle market is really a brand new opportunity for Westar," said Matt Lehrman, SmartStar program analyst for Westar. "So we were really looking for as many ideas as possible and wanted to know what these students think the place is for Westar in the electric car business." For this competition, MBA students were given the opportunity to analyze a current issue and apply their skills in an intense work environment. "What I enjoyed the most is the opportunity to address a concept that is going to really revolutionize the country and the world," Mooney said. The competition began on Jan. 19 and the teams presented to Westar executives on Jan. 21. Members of the winning team include Denton Zeeman, first year MBA student from Johannesburg, South Africa, Kai Thiele, first year MBA student from Germany, Trang Nguyen, first year MBA student from Vietnam, and Hatem Shoshaa, first year MBA student from Palestine. Zeeman said the judges told his team they won the competition because they had fully identified the problem and had the most thought-out presentation. One judge said that it was as if the team had been sitting in on Westar's meetings and discussions about moving into the electric car market. "We had less than 48 hours to conduct our analysis and develop a strategy, so this was quite a compliment," Zeeman said. The winning team won three of the six judging categories, including "Best Industry Analysis by a team," "Most Creative Ideas & Strategy by a team" and "Best Overall Analysis and Presentation by a team." Lerhman, a former School of Business MBA student himself, said although the judges decided on a winning team, Westar will use ideas from each presentation. "The students really exceeded our expectations," he said. LIMITED TIME ONLY! STUDENT FITNESS SALE!

Nance told the New York Post in an interview posted Thursday that reuniting with her family was like a dream. Pettway received two years of probation last June after she took items from a store where she worked, which is considered embezzlement under North Carolina law, state correction spokeswoman Pamela Walker said. Under terms of her probation, she wasn't allowed to leave the state. "I'm so happy," she said. "At the same time, it's a funny feeling because everything's brand new. It's like being born again." Carlina was just 19 days old when her parents took her to Harlem Hospital in the middle of the night with a high fever. Joy White and Carl Tyson said a woman who looked like a nurse had comforted them. The couple left the hospital to rest, but their baby was missing when they went back. No suspects were identified. Pettway remained in custody Sunday and couldn't be reached for comment. She was to appear in federal court in New York on Monday to face kidnapping charges, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said. Ann Pettway surrendered Sunday morning to the FBI and Bridgeport police on a warrant from North Carolina, where she's on probation because of a conviction for attempted embezlement, FBI supervisory special agent William Reiner said.

HARTFORD, Conn. — A North Carolina woman who raised a child stolen 23 years ago from a New York hospital surrendered to authorities on a probation violation charge Sunday, and she was to appear in federal court to face kidnapping charges, the U.S. attorney's office said.

The Jayhawks opened up the New Year by winning the Orange Bowl Classic in Key Largo, Fla., on Jan. 4. That win was followed up by wins against Florida International, Louisiana State University, American University, and Vanderbilt. The Kansas squad then fell to #18 Arkansas at home, by a score of 170-130. The loss came the day after Kansas' swimmer Iulia Kuzhil, Cherkasy, Ukraine senior, was named one of the two Big 12 swimmers of the week. "I didn't expect it all," Kuzhil said. "It was really a big surprise for me." Prior to being named swimmer of the week, Kuzhil had placed first five times in various events. After the loss, the Jayhawks had little time to dwell on the defeat before their meet at Nebraska two days later. In Lincoln, the Jayhawks cruised to a 180.5-140.5 victory. Fueled by their success, the Jayhawks entered the water against South Dakota and the University of Northern Iowa. The day started out with the 400-Yard Medley, which University of Kansas won with a time of 3:52.84. The first swimmer into the pool for the University in that medley was Heather Clark, Lawrence freshman, who was pleased to start the day with a win. By the end of the meet, the Jayhawks had added two more to the win column. Kansas finished the meet with zero losses and one tie to combine for final scores of 186-91 over UNI and 165-89 over South Dakota. After winning five out of their last six meets, coach Clark Campbell was also pleased. "It's one of our stronger events, so it's nice to know that we can go out and win that first," Clark said. Chris Bronson/KANSAN "We've had a really good January" Campbell said. "This is a three-and-a-half-week period where we do a lot of training and a lot of racing." This series of constant meets and practice sessions, which coach Campbell referred to as an in-season "training camp" is to prepare for the team's main goal: The Big 12 championships. Junior distance swimmer Shannon Garlie displays her endurance in the women's 1000 yard freestyle race Saturday afternoon when the Jayhawks hosted Northern Iowa and South Dakota. Garlie's time of 10:24:54 landed her a second-place finish. "That's our Super Bowl," Campbell said of the Big 12 Championships, which are set to meet in Austin, Texas at the end of February. "We're hoping to get several people qualified for the NCAA championships in March." One of those vying for the NCAA Championship bid is Kuzhil. Edited by Amanda Sorell "My goal is to make it to NCs, and from there just swim as fast as I can," Kuzhil said. OKLAHOMA 12 KANSAS 23 OKLAHOMA 22 OKLAHOMA 45 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Sooners' threes beat out Jayhawks BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com An onslaught of early three-point shots gave Oklahoma a 17-point lead going into the halftime. The Sooners would never relinquish the lead in their 75-57 victory against the Jayhaws. "It felt good, I'm not going to lie," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. "It takes the pressure off, and it just changes the way you feel. It was really good to see our players hit that next level of confidence." Freshman guard Aaryn Ellenberg led the Sooners in shooting. Ellenburg was a perfect 5-5 in the first half when shooting from three-point range. Ellenburg finished the day 6-10 from downtown. Three of Ellenburg's five first-half three-point shots came from the left side of the arc, while the other two came from the top of the arc. Sophomore guard Whitney Hand added two more threes in the first half as the Sooners shot 77.8 percent from three-point range in the first half. "Ellenberg got a lot of threepointers off on us and so did Hand. We did not match up and get back in defensive transition," Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis said. The Sooners' outside shooting slowed down in the second half, as they finished the day 10-20. But it was still above their average of 42.6 percent on the season. "It itd feel (like they were making everything). But once that happens you need to adjust and see that we can't leave them open. If someone is on fire you can't let them feel good about themselves so you reed to change it and not let them get a shot off," sophomore guard Angel Goodrich said. Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich goes up for a basket. Goodrich scored 15 points against the Sooners. The layhawks could not match Ellenburg's output, finishing the day 2-7 from three-point range, with Goodrich and freshman guard Keena Mays being the only Jayhawks to connect from downtown. Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN "I think that the three-pointers started coming in transition. I did not feel that we were communicating well in transition. Ellenberg was able to knock down some three-pointers in the beginning and we started to give her a cushion in the zone," senior guard Marisha Brown said. The Sooners had struggled from three-point range in Big 12 play up until they faced the Jayhawks, shooting 22.6 percent. This included a 0-9 performance against Kansas State on January 12th.

He also won the title at the All-American Golf Classic with a three-round Vegas was the first Venezuelan to win a PGA tour event, and held a share of the lead throughout the tournament with Woodland. Woodland has been participating in PGA since 2009. He said that making the cut to the U.S. Open in 2009 was the highlight of his golf career according to kansasathletics.com. In 2010, he played on the Nationwide Tour making the cut nine times and recording five top-25 finishes, and bringing him $56,370. score of 211. The final putt in the Bob Hope Classic, which Vegas made, was for $900,000 according to the Associated Press, a title and a prize that Woodland was one stroke away from winning.

Reed was Kansas' highest scorer with 17 total points. COLUMN Fans must remember Robinson's courage The home-court winning streak is over. So is the undefeated season. In The home-court winning streak is over. So is the undefeated season. In the words of coach Bill Self, the Jayhawks now face "very little margin for error" in the Big 12 Conference. Years from now, these may be some of the storylines many fans will remember from that emotionally draining Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. But don't forget Thomas Robinson. According to Self, Robinson's grandmother passed away at the end of December. His grandfather passed last Sunday. Then, he lost his mother late Friday. night. "He wasn't asked not to play. He wasn't asked to play," Self said. "I talked to some people and the best thing to do for him was to let him choose what he wants to do. He said he wanted to be out there and I didn't fight it." Robinson Maybe it was the size of the stage with Texas in the house. Maybe running around with his teammates possibly helped clear his mind. Or maybe just playing basketball slightly regulated a time like this. No matter the reason, no matter his performance, the mere fact that Robinson stepped on the floor Saturday afternoon proved his dedication to his other family, those who don crimson and blue. After discovering the news of Robinson's mother's passing on "We've always called ourselfs brothers," junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "But he's literally my brother now. I don't see no other way. I think that's going to last forever." For Robinson, Saturday with the Jayhawks wasn't just another game day. Other than his 9-year-old sister Jayla back home in Washington, D.C., it was all he had left. BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Friday night, coaches, teammates and some of their mothers gathered at the Jayhawk Towers to be together. Self described the scene as "the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life." "You can only imagine the hurt that he's feeling," senior guard Tyrel Reed said. "You just want to be there for him." His teammates, coaches and fans were there for him on Saturday, too. A brief moment of silence for Robinson prefaced the tip off. With little more than three minutes into the game, Kansas jumped out to a 10-0 start and the fieldhouse was rockin' after a Selby steal and slam dunk (after he missed a dunk less than a minute before). Then, Robinson checked in and the place somehow got louder, booming with ovation. For each of his four fouls, whether fair or not, boos swirled. For every Robinson rebound, fans stood, cheered and yelled in support. But with the game finished and the fieldhouse emptied Robinson and his teammates must rehash reality. "It's sad to even say anything, because you don't know what to say," junior forward Marcus Morris said. "He's just a tough kid to still want to be with us and still play." Key stats We're all crushed by such a deflating defeat on the court. It hurts more knowing that it ended the longest active home-court winning streak in college basketball. But for once, throw statistics aside and consider the courage of Thomas Robinson, as true a Jayhawk as they ever come. Edited by Helen Mubarak 6-19 Kansas hit just 6-of-19 (31.6 percent) from three-point range. The team is shooting 37 percent for the season. 44. 1,26.7 Kansas shot 44.1 percent in the first half and 26.7 percent in the second half. Game to remember J'Covan Brown Brown has played Kansas twice, and he's been lights out both times. After scorching the Jayhawks for 26 points in the second half of last year's game in Austin, Brown offered an encore to the tune of 23 points on 6-of-10 shooting to lead the Longhorns to their first win in Allen Fieldhouse. Just like last year, most of it came after the break.His 17 points paced a 51-point second half for Texas. Brown 10 Kansas'big three Game to forget Quotes of the night The Morris twins and Josh Selby were all off Saturday afternoon, and with none of those three playing well, Kansas was ripe for upset. The three combined to hit just 10-of-33 shots, 1-of-10 from three-point range, and had six turnovers against four assists. The twins had 12 rebounds as the Jayhawks were outrebounded 42-33. "People go home sad today, all 16,000 people that were here and supported us great like they do every game, they go home sad and disappointed, and he's one of those guys. But he goes home and he doesn't have his mother anymore. And it certainly puts everything in perspective, because he's going to wake up three or four days from now and people will be doing their own things, and the world keeps going on, and that's a reality that he's going to live with for the rest of his life Self Bill Self on the death of Thomas Robinson's mother Prime plays FIRST HALF (Score after play) 20:00—Before the game started, the Fieldhouse was rocking. The decibel meter read over 118 decibels. 16:36 — Josh Selby throws down a dunk on the fast break with a little help from Markieff Morris clearing the way.

(35-23) SECOND HALF 14:32 —Just when Kansas needed a big shot, Tyrel Reed comes through again with a three pointer. (40-30) 8:48 —Texas settled the crowd this half, but a tough runner in the lane by Tyshawn Taylor gets the fans in it again. (47-49) 2:00 — Texas snaps Kansas' home-court winning streak at 69 games.

Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY How many points has J'Covan Brown scored in the second half against Kansas in the last two years? A: 46 (26 last year, 17 this year) — Kansas Athletics Time to scrap the Pro Bowl MORNING BREW The NFL will hold its annual Pro Bowl next weekend, very few people will watch. The offensive playbook will be limited and defense will be non-existent. Points will be scored, rivals will laugh on the sideline, the game will be a glorified version of Madden without the hit stick. BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com One glaring issue I have with the NFL Pro Bowl is fan voting. Deserving players are often overlooked for more prominent players, even if they haven't been playing on the same level as in years past. This is an issue in every All-Star Game with fan voting and is the reason why in the baseball All-Star Game, the American League is always represented by a majority of Red Sox and Yankees. Many players voted into the Pro Bowl avoid playing in the game in an effort to avoid a career-altering injury, so the best players aren't even playing anymore. And if one does play and hurts himself, every fan becomes outraged. When the NFL moved the Pro Bowl up to the weekend before the Super Bowl, they excluded all the Super Bowl players from participating. This results in the removal of even more talent from the pool of players and allowing for more players to call themselves Pro Bowlers, taking away some of the glory from the distinction. Every professional All-Star Game is missing the spark of electricity that once made it great. The only game that comes close is baseball's Midsummer Classic, and that was ruined once Commissioner Bud Selig decided to give home field advantage in the World Series to the team that emerges from the winning league. THE MORNING BREW The coolest aspect of the NBA All-Star Weekend is the dunk contest on Saturday night, and I would even rather watch the celebrity game because of the amusement factor brought in by B-list celebrities trying to play defense than the back-and-forth of uncontested shooting that makes up the main event Sunday night. CHEERLEADING My recommendation to the NFL is to scrap the Pro Bowl. It is a waste of time and resources. The coaches don't want to be there because it means they aren't in the Super Bowl and the players don't want to be added to the injury list. Instead, come out and name the Pro Bowlers at the end of the regular season and leave it at that. They will appreciate the distinction and the extra week off in the offseason Besides, no one will remember who won or what happened in the Pro Bowl once the next weekend rolls around anyway. —Edited by Emily Soetaert Cheer squad places fifth in national contest Highflying acrobatics, backhand springs across the court and cheering fellow KU athletes on are all parts of life for members of the University of Kansas cheer squad. Although the main purpose of the cheer squad is to spur on the spirted fans cheering the Jayhawks to victory, the cheer squad is comprised of talented athletes who compete. They compete annually in regional and national cheer and dance competitions. The 18-member competition squad won the regional competition in November and received a paid bid to the national competition for the third consecutive year, where the squad placed fifth. In order to be eligible for a paid BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com bid, a squad must submit a 90-second video of their best stunts, pyramids, basket tosses, tumbling and a 60-second video of a traditional crowd-leading cheer. The squads whose videos score highest in their region win a paid bid, and the next four highest-scoring squads earn an at-large paid bid, coach Corey Stone said. The squad's crowd-cheering video filmed at basketball games was a part of their final score at competition. The video received a perfect score of 15, which was added to their score for nationals. Preparing for competition was not something that the team did only in practices. The competition squad performed its national routine in the Lawrence and Kansas City areas. Also every men's and women's basketball game provided an opportunity for the team to improve and build off the atmo sphere created by fans. The team did not have issues with injuries or eligibility which helped the squad prepare more quickly than in past years. This gave the coaching staff more time to help the athletes clean up the routine to prepare for nationals. "This year is really dedicated and really driven," senior Meghan Trefry said. "We have a lot of kids who have already been on the nationals mat who would work really hard and knew what it was going to take to get everything done." Winning the paid-bid sent the team to Disney World to compete in the College Cheer and Dance National Competition. Because the Jayhawks received a paid-bid, they performed during the last competition day, January 16. The routine was choreographed and coached by coaches Corey and Nami Stone. The two-and-a-half-minute routine consisted of tumbling, basket catches, stunting and a large cheer portion. The cheer section is worth 50 percent of the total score and is judged by crowd involvement and the crispness of movements during the cheer. "The crowd got really into the cheer that we did and we executed it really well. I think it is the best cheer that we have done in the seven years that we have been going to national," coach Stone said. For the competitors, the cheer was a high point in the routine. "After we hit our cheer we knew that the rest of the stuff was going to be a lot easier and that really pumped everyone up," Trefry said. The team missed one skill of their routine, which is not uncommon even at the national level because of the difficulty level that the routines are performed at.

CHICAGO — There was one Monster of the Midway in the NFC championship game and his name was Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers ran for a score and made a TD-saving tackle in leading the Green Bay Packers into the Super Bowl with a bone-jarring 21-14 victory Sunday over Chicago. Rodgers played well enough to keep the Bears off balance all afternoon, Green Bay punter Tim Masthy kept Devin Hester under wraps and the Packers' superb defense took care of the rest in knocking the Bears out of the playoffs. Now the Packers (13-6) are headed to Dallas. And no matter what happens in the Super Bowl on Feb. 6, the Packers and their fans hold ultimate bragging rights over their foes to the south. Green Bay will play the winner of Sunday night's AFC title game between the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers. All Jay Cutler could do was watch, having left the game with a knee injury early in the third quarter. Even before the injury, Cutler was having trouble moving the ball. Worse, he was getting booed by the home fans. Primary backup Todd Collins replaced Cutler and was jeered even worse. Then backup Caleb Hanie and the Bears (12-6) actually made it a game. The Bears forced a punt and got the ball back with under 3 minutes left. Hanie drove the Bears to the Green Bay 29-yard line, then threw a fourth-down interception to Sam Shields — the rookie's second of the game. Early in the second quarter, Brandon Jackson faked Brian Urlacher out for a long gain on a screen pass, and Rodgers' pass to Jordy Nelson set up James Starks' 4-yard touchdown run to give Green Bay a 14-0 lead. After Urlacher's interception, the Bears couldn't make anything happen with Collins in for Cutler, and appeared to be headed for a blowout until Hanie took over. Packers players were surprised Cutler didn't come back. "You know if he doesn't come back it had to be serious, not to come back and play in this game," Charles Woodson said.

WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 12A THE TIES THAT BIND Robinson's loss veils Kansas' defeat KANSAS 0 Sophomore forward Thomas Robinson looks to the ground with disappointment after the 74-63 loss to Texas. With the loss the Jayhawks are now 18-1 for the season. Team and family prove uniformitv. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com All season long, this Kansas team has talked about being a family. "F.O.E." an acronym for Family Over Everything, has been something of a rallying cry. Friday night, Thomas Robinson needed his family more than ever. His mother Lisa Robinson, just 37 years old, died of a heart attack, and was survived by Thomas and his nine-year-old sister Jayla, Jayla's the one who had to call her big brother at around 11 p.m. Friday to tell him that, after losing his grandmother and grandfather in the three weeks prior, he'd also just lost his mom. So Friday the family of Kansas basketball rallied around its hurting brother. Players, coaches and the mothers of a few players who live in town gathered at the Jayhawker Towers to offer their support. "As a coach, you always think your players like each other," coach Bill Self said. "That's always been a quality all teams have — good teams like each other. It sounds trite, but it's very important. And last night I saw a different level than I even knew existed. It was pretty special." pretty special. The emotions, of course, continued to run high for Kansas on Saturday. Robinson decided to suit up alongside his teammates, and finished with two points and five rebounds. Allen Fieldhouse had a moment of silence for his mother. Angel Morris, the mother of the Morris twins, called him out of pregame warmups to give him a bear hug of the sort that mothers give best, and talked to him for a few minutes before letting him rejoin his team. "It says a lot that Thomas came out and played," Marcus Morris said. "It took a lot of courage to play since Thomas only has his mother and his sister. It's just a sad situation, because you don't know what to say to him." For a while, Kansas did its talk ing on the court. The Jayhawks roared out to an 18-3 lead, which Self attributed, in part at least, to the emotions of the previous 24 hours. "In times like that, I think you see teams get off to an emotional good start," Self said. "We played well, too, but certainly it was emotional, and I felt like we didn't have much gas in the tank in the second half." As Self said, emotions like those are draining, and they can only last so long. Kansas went flat after about 10 minutes of game time, but fended off Texas for the rest of the half. Then the Longhorns scored 51 points and completely controlled the second half and turned a 12-point halftime deficit into a 74-63 victory. It ended a Kansas-record home winning streak, a perfect record and gave the Longhorns a massive leg up in the conference title race. But while the game, in the scope of the season, was a setback, it was put into perspective, Self said, by the previous night's events. "People go home sad today," Self said. "All 16,000 people that were here and supported us great like they do every game, they go home sad and disappointed, and he's one of those guys. But he goes home and he doesn't have his mother anymore. And it certainly puts everything in perspective, because he's going to wake up three or four days from now and people will be doing their own things, and the world keeps going on, and that's a reality that he's going to live with for the rest of his life." The emotions of the losses, both personal and basketball, were visible in the Kansas players' mannerisms in the post-game press conference: heads were bowed, shoulders were hunched, voices cracked and eyes were red. All of it — the previous night, the first loss at Allen Fieldhouse in 69 games, the first loss of the season — visibly weighed on them. "It's just one game and we can't let it become two," Tyrel Reed said. "We know that Thomas is going through a lot of stuff right now. We all hurt and we all feel for him. He's one of our brothers and we're definitely going to be there for him, but we've got a game on Tuesday against a good Colorado team. We have to be ready to play." Whether or not Robinson will miss any time, including that game Tuesday against Colorado, is still unclear. "Whatever he needs to do, he needs to do," Self said. "But we're his family." — Edited by Emily Soetaert WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks lose to Sooners at home BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Freshman guard Aaryn "Vegas" Ellenberg appeared as a fresh face in Kansas' nightmares. However, the result of Sunday's tiff with Oklahoma was nothing new. "If Vegas hits one, you better look out," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. The Jayhawks fell to the Sooners 75-57 at Allen Fieldhouse, marking 14 consecutive losses to Oklahoma and eight straight under coach Bonnie Henrickson. With a bandage wrapped around her left wrist, the Las Vegas, Nevada native scored 21 of her 28 points and sunk all five of her three-point attempts in the first half. Sophomore guard Whitney Hand tagged on 16 first-half points and finished with 21. The duo combined to convert 15 of 23 field goals from the field and scored 37 of their team's 43 points by the break. "You've got to get through a screen and contend," Henrickson said. "There are too many that are uncontested, but even the contested ones, those two knock'em down." Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis, Kansas' leading scorer heading into the contest, struggled to find an early rhythm in the paint. Rather than allowing her to finish easy lay-ups, Oklahoma's bevy of post defenders forced Davis to earn her points from the free throw line. She hit just eight of her 15 attempts. Sometimes actually watching the ball fall through the hoop can help a player find a rhythm. Oklahoma prevented this possibility at any chance and Davis was flustered. "We see an extra man, so we hesitate getting it to her," sophomore guard Angel Goodrich said. "We kinda overthrew it to her. It's either there or it ain't." Surrendering opportunities to any foo often equates to failure. With a team that shoots as well as Oklahoma, each of Kansas' 16 turnovers spelled its fate. The Sooners scored 17 points off turnovers and converted 32 of 63 field goal attempts. "The game is just so much easier; every pass, you trust yourself in transition more. It takes a lot of the pressure off and it just changes the way you feel." Coale said of her team's sharpshooting. "It was really good to see our players hit that next level of confidence." "They were being really physical!" Davis said. "Every shot I took I felt a body on me from either side and that was pretty frustrating." Jerry Wang/KANSAN The jayhawks opened the second half with energized play, moving the ball in transition and erasing the sloppy passes that led to turnovers earlier on. Goodrich catalyzed judicious ball movement and found Davis more often. "I got lower because it was easier to take the contact and I tried to work up the lane so I didn't have anyone around me," Davis said.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Kansas could still win Big 12 despite loss BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Saturday's game against Texas was overshadowed, no doubt. With the personal tragedies rocking sophomore forward Thomas Robinson's life, a basketball game seemed like an out-of-place and untimely distraction for the family-based Kansas team. But, as with everything, the game went on, all tragedy aside. And what happened, the Longhorns winning 74-63 in Allen Fieldhouse, was a seminal moment in the Big 12 Conference season. Kansas no longer boasts a nearly four-year-long home winning streak. Texas has notched its first win in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas isn't perfect anymore, in conference play or for the season. And, more importantly, Texas now owns a one-game lead over Kansas in the race for the Big 12 crown, which has been the property of the Jayhawks for the last six years running, and the sole property of the Jayhawks for the last four. "Certainly, Texas has a big lead," coach Bill Self said, "a big lead on everybody else right now." Kansas, Self was quick to say, has won the league from behind before, and it's certainly not out of the question. If the Jayhawks pick up just one game during the course of the Big 12 season, because a tie for the regular season is as good as a win in the conference record books, they'll be able to claim SEE BIG 12 ON PAGE 9A 1.

Brownhack expects universities to stimulate the economy through a $105 million research-oriented program. Part of the money will come from the state, the other from matching funds BY CLAYTON ASHLEY cashley@kansan.com When Gov. Sam Brownback announced the University Economic Growth Initiative in his State of the State address, he made it clear that he wanted Kansas' universities to help grow the state's economy. The $105 million program is designed to stimulate job growth by targeting specific areas of research. The University of Kansas, Wichita State University and Kansas State University would each receive $5 million annually for three years. Money would go toward cancer research, aviation and animal health, respectively. The universities would also be able to compete for $3 million annually in engineering grants. To receive funding, the universities would have to raise matching private sector funds or shift money from other programs. Lawrence) said. In the past, matching funds weren't required. Funds were transferred directly from the state general fund to the University of Kansas Cancer Center. Francisco said she was pleased Brownback had recognized the universities' role in economic development. But she was concerned about requiring matching funds while the University of Kansas Medical Center pursued a National Cancer Institute designation, which the University has been pursuing for years. "I think that designation is important to the region. We would not want to say necessarily that this funding is only available with matching funds," Francisco said. "The governor thought that issuing a challenge would be a way of fitting this fairly significant amount of money into the budget," Sen.

"Theft is the number one crime on this campus and probably any other university campus." Bailey said. "When students aren't here An online map compiled by the KU Public Safety Office shows officers responded to nine incidents over winter break, including four traffic violations, two of alcohol, one case of disorder, one case of theft from a vehicle and one case of property crime. Campus police experienced a lull in crime during winter break, according to Captain Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. Bailey said calls for service drop "dramatically." In comparison, officers responded to 17 incidents on campus during the 30 days before winter break. and their property's not out, obviously those situations tend to decrease." Lawrence Police statistics do show a slight drop in the total number of crimes reported during the winter months, from 1,135 incidents reported in Nov. 2009 to 944 reported in January 2010. It is unclear if there is any connection between the drop in crime and the presence of students or whether a similar drop will occur this year. "Alarms still go off, people still need questions answered," Bailey said. A winter break for students doesn't necessarily mean a break for the KU Public Safety Office. Officers also spend more time patrolling buildings that are often vacant during break, making sure all is well. Edited by Tali David Regardless of whether students are present, Lawrence Police Sgt. Matt Sarna said crime within the city remained relatively steady year-round. 心 (2) HEALTH | 3A Flu shots still available Peak flu season is quickly approaching and Watkins Memorial Health Center is offering vaccinations.

LOCAL Bands big and small rock Lawrence music halls JACKPOT SALOON & MUSIC HALL GUINNESS ATM NIKKI WENTLING nwentling@kansasn.com Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall attracts live-music lovers to Lawrence. It is one of many venues featuring local and national acts. Lawrence is home to more than 10 live music venues, ranging from the University's Lied Center at 1600 Stewart Drive, to the Replay Lounge, a small bar located downtown at 946 Massachusetts St. These venues are known for showcasing local bands that bring in large crowds. Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN The Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St., hosts live shows throughout the week. With a capacity of 260, this venue is balanced between a quaint setting and a site large enough for major shows. Brad Shanks, the manager and promoter of the Jackpot, realizes the need to bring in larger shows while keeping a local feel. "We are a middle-of-the-road venue for the more underground and independent bands. We do our own promoting for touring bands, but we like a good mix," Shanks said. The Jackpot will be hosting the band Tapes 'N Tapes on Friday, March 4. The band was signed to XL Recordings in 2006, and performed on "The Late Show with David Letterman" later that year. Thei group's single "Insistor" was played in the movie "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist." Shanks said that Lawrence was becoming a regular stop for bands on tour like Tapes 'N Tapes. "Lawrence is good for touring for musicians, it's in the middle of the country, it's a college town, and it's on the way to major cities like Denver, Dallas, and St. Louis," he said. The Jackpot is not the only venue supporting touring bands. The Granada, which can also be found downtown at 1020 Massachusetts St., was originally built in the 1930s as a movie theater. The Granada will host The Cold War Kids on Wed., March 9. The Cold War Kids are signed with Downtown Records. They spent the majority of 2008 and 2009 touring and also did a national tour with the band Death Cab for Cutie. "I am beyond stoked to see The Cold War Kids," Connor Creighton, a freshman from Kansas City, Kan., said. "I will definitely be attending when they come here. I have never seen them in concert before, but I'm a huge fan of their music." This will not be the first major show for the Granada, which has "It's a great venue for any type of music; it's always a plus when everybody who works there knows what they're doing, and I think a lot of bands respect and appreciate the Granada and its employees for that reason," a capacity of 800 and has hosted performances by Matchbox 20, Weezer, and John Mayer. Creighton said. While some students seem to be more excited by these performances by touring bands, others, like Maxwell McFarland, a freshman from Kansas City, Kan., find that local musicians put on the best shows. college experience," McFarland said. "I see local music as a snapshot of the time in which it was created. Local music defines an era of a city's history."

K. B. J. Students can still be vaccinated before the onset of the local flu season. which differs from the usual November-Mav season. Watkins Memorial Health Center ran out of nose-spray vaccinations but still has flu shots. Lawrence sees peak in February-March BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Dalton Gomez/KANSAN Flu season is just around the corner, but students can still schedule a vaccination for the influenza virus. Leslie Reece, a junior from Manhattan, has already had the flu twice this winter. The first bout came with last semester's finals and the second in the form of a 24-hour stomach flu last week. She said she didn't get a vaccination last fall and once she'd already gotten sick she said she figured it was too late this year. Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said anyone who had not yet been vaccinated should make an appointment to do so. "It's not too late," Quinlan said. "I can't emphasize that enough." In Kansas, peak flu season begins in February and lasts through March. Part of that cycle marks the return to campus of students who have spent winter break elsewhere, sharing viruses with others who have also traveled during the break. Because it takes up to two weeks for protection to develop after the vaccination, flu clinics are usually held in the fall for the best protection. The health center still has the vaccine on hand. It can prevent the flu this season — protection from the vaccine lasts for about a year. Because influenza viruses are always changing, scientists develop a new vaccine every year to match the virus most likely to cause the flu. The Centers for Disease Control's Vaccine Information Statement offers some details about the vaccine. The 2010-2011 vaccine protects against three types of influenza, including the H1N1 pandemic influenza. The health center generally carries two different vaccinations. One is the familiar injection of inactivated, or killed, influenza vaccine and the other is a nostril spray that contains live but weakened influenza. Mai Hester, marketing coordinator for the health center, said the supply of nasal spray vaccine had been exhausted for this year, but injections were still available. Hester said the health center ordered about 50 units of nasal spray each flu season, and that the order probably wouldn't be increased unless there was more demand for it. Quinlan said the appearance of the H1N1 virus made last year's flu season unusual because that virus appeared later in the year, in August. Though some students might not get the vaccine because they aren't worried about contracting the flu, Quinlan said there were other facts to consider that made vaccination a good idea. "I really think that students feel they're invincible, that they won't get the flu." Quinlan said. the virus, she said. Some students may have an increased risk of contracting the flu because of chronic disease or weakened immune systems. The rest of us can help those at risk by not exposing others to an influenza virus. "I think we have a responsibilty to provide that for each other," Quinlan said.

Prince William and Kate Middleton aren't even married yet - that will take place April 29. - but some Britons are already betting they will end up getting divorced. The odds are unlikely, the topic is disrespectful but when two people disagree on a subject, it's time to lay some money down. "There's a real tradition of betting on what the royals will do next," said Darren Haines, a spokesman for bookmaker Paddy Power. "The U.K. has a strange fascination with the royals." One of the most popular wagers for the past several years has been on if, when and where Kate and Will would marry. After news of their engagement broke in November, the when — as in, what month — brought in 30,000 pounds ($48,000) worth of bets, spokesman Alex Donohue said. The where — now confirmed as Westminster Abbey — drew about 15,000 pounds ($24,000) worth of wagers for the betting firm.

Thank god the Jets lost, I'm not sure I could've stood two more weeks of their douchebaggery. I guess you didn't like the message I left on your wall. Everclear will take it right off. I screwed up a one-star Sudoku this morning. I really hope this isn't indicative of how my semester is gonna go. Your mother is like my thoughts on socio-economics; everyone gets a share. "Teen Mom" and "Jersey Shore" are really starting to mess with my emotions. Might not be good for the GPA. You are such a jerk. And you wonder why no one loves you. Spanking isn't very effective with kids? I think it works very well. Kids sometimes need a spanking. It's called negative reinforcement, Professor. It says that going to basketball games in AFH can be better than sex. Which is true. Just imagine if every guy dressed like a frat boy...mmm. Frat guys dress like golfing grandpas on Easter Sunday. Yeah, no thanks. We should have some universal sign that lets people know if you are single.. like a button.. someone get that started. I HATE ONLINE SPANISH!!!! So has anyone tried booking Taylor Swift to sing the national anthem vs. K-State yet? First day of class and I managed to go to the wrong one... cool. I hate when people stink on the bus... You know what I had for breakfast? Chicken noodle soup with grape juice on the side. No huss. Black Eyed Peas? The best thing about this game is gonna be when it's over and everyone finally shuts up about the NFL.

HUMOR Few of us actually gain knowledge in college As a new semester of classes begins, now seems like the time to reflect on what we've not learned and look forward to what we'll be not learning in the coming months. If recent trends continue, we'll soon be doing more non-learning than ever before, making us the most uneducated generation in American history. P. But is this something to not be proud of? According to the new book "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses," a survey of more than 2,000 college students found that 45 percent "did not demonstrate any significant improvement in learning" after two years of study. That percentage improved to only 36 percent after four years. At first glance, these statistics may seem like good reasons to panic. How will we be successful in the real world if BY ALEX NICHOLS anichols@kansan.com we don't learn anything in college? Why are we spending so much on tuition if we're not learning? Will America turn into Dumb-erica, a country of people so dumb they think inventing a word like "Dumb-erica" is clever? Relax. The study also showed that the students averaged a solid 3.2 GPA. As we all know, grades are infallible indicators of intelligence and academic success, which means there is only one conclusion we can draw from this study: Learning is no longer necessary! Maybe, there was a time when learning was fundamental to the success and livelihood of individuals and the communities they comprised; I wouldn't know, because I never paid attention in history class. What I do know is now we no longer need to learn stuff (i.e., "things") in order to receive pieces of paper that certify that we know things (i.e., "stuff"). Those pieces of paper - also known as "degrees" - are the ultimate prizes of the academic experience. Getting a degree is all that matters, and the more degrees, the better (unless you are a snowman or a sprained ankle). Degrees help us obtain money via jobs, which themselves are more easily attained by having degrees, a process described in the classic film "The Lion King" as the "Circle of Life." Learning can be painful and confusing, so why let it interfere with our pursuit of marketability? In fact, it seems as though the less learning you do, the more success you will have. According to the study, students majoring in business and education learned the least, which would explain our thriving economy and top-notch school system. College is about two things: drinking,partying and retaining information just long enough to pass a test. People who actually learn will be left destitute, with only worthless knowledge to comfort them. People who don't will go on to become governors, published authors and reality TV stars--or even all three. Which would you rather be? I thought so. Good luck on a new semester.

I go to church every Sunday; I am part of WesleyKU, a Methodist campus ministry, and I help lead a church youth group. I am even a religious studies major. Religion is my life. Except that it's not. I struggle living out my religion, and most college students and even full adults have the same struggle. With the demand of studying for classes, managing a social life and participating in extra curricular activities, it's easy to lose one's faith in the day-to-day busyness of our lives. Don't let this cultural problem isolate you. Only 45 percent of young adults under the age of 30 said that religion is important to them, according to the 2010 Pew Research Forum. This statistic supports how many young adults feel lost in their faith. Many Americans have become lazy incorporating faith into daily life. Too many people separate religion and life when they have always belonged together. BY ALLISON BOND abond@kansan.com Constant discipline and determination develop a lifestyle where religion is at the forefront of one's mind, so it can be at the forefront of one's actions. In order to pray, worship or act divinely daily, we must practice faith with consciousness and intentional effort. Spiritual practices have helped me keep the focus needed on my faith and to incorporate my beliefs into my daily living. These practices can range from meditation, prayer, conversation, reading and many more. Awareness of faith incorporates faith into the busyness of daily living. Awareness of faith travels like a rollercoaster through life's up and down moments. The greater tragedy would be not to practice faith at all and miss out on a religious life. Participating in a religious campus group or going to a worship service is just the beginning of living out faith. The goal is to ultimately make faith personal. The religion doesn't matter, as long as you make it yours and actively pursue it. I wish you the best in pursuing the practice of living out faith in whatever way you adopt. I challenge you to try something new this semester and make your faith more personal. Bond is a junior from Andover majoring in journalism and religious studies. EXPANDED COVERAGE COME ON UP!

Do you think religion is important like Bond does? - Does the future of Sudan mentioned in Cosby's column concern you? HUMAN RIGHTS The future of Sudan relies on cessation vote Despite all of the potentially negative impacts of the vote or cessation, including a resurgence of violence and war, the vote has important implications for the state of human rights in Sudan. With preliminary results tallying a vote of 98.6 percent in favor of cessation, the future of an independent south Sudan looks brighter than ever. Though the results will not be officially released until February, such a heavy majority makes a clear statement about the strong feelings surrounding this issue. One of the most basic human rights is the ability to actively participate in one's government. Other important rights rest largely on whether or not an individual is able to fight for them using political means. If the referendum causes tension over oil and land division to escalate to further violence, however, this step forward could be compromised. Because this referendum finally took place and, based on the results, seems to have been fairly orchestrated, it shows that Sudan may finally be improving the condition needed to safeguard individual rights in the state. Northern Sudan, with its active and fairly stable economic infrastructure, is still the more prosperous region. But, with independence, southern 1 In a country known for political corruption, witnessing citizens exercise their right to participate on fair grounds beholds a promising sight for the state of human rights in general. BY KELLY COSBY kcosbykansan.com Sudan has the potential to become strong on its own. The state's vast oil supply lies in south Sudan. As the state is one step closer to splitting in two, the north will most likely insist on keeping a large portion of oil rights in order to ensure its revenue remains stable. This tension comes with disagreement over whether the Abyei region lies in the north or the south. Abyei has oil and fertile land and thus is an attractive area to both sides. It also happens to recently be the most violent region, according to the New York Times If these disagreements continue to intensify without resolution, violence could increase again and possibly destroy the progress Sudan has made toward curbing human rights violations. For now, as the official results are awaited, swift diplomacy encouraging a movement toward stable peace agreements regarding the split are necessary to decrease the likelihood of catastrophe.

Scott and Mandy Matthey --- - 6A / SPORTS / TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM KU TIPOFF COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY AT A GLANCE Historically, this series is owned by the Jayhawks, and they've won enough games at the Coors Events Center for it to have earned the nickname Allen Fieldhouse West. The Buffaloes forced overtime in Boulder last year though, and they're a much better team this year. Leading scorer Alec Burks missed that game with an injury, and it's a safe bet that first-year Colorado coach Tad Boyle has his guys convinced they were robbed in that one. PLAYER TO WATCH Jeff Withey Thomas Robinson isn't making the trip to Colorado with the Withev team. He left after practice Monday to be with his family in Washington, D.C. That means Mario Little will be the third option in the post and Jeff Withey will be the fourth. Withey's minutes will be essential against the Buffaloes, who have great size in the post, if not great talents. Withey could play an instrumental role in countering the Buffaloes 6-foot-11 and 7-foot centers. QUESTION MARK Will Josh Selby show up? It'd be easy to mark the freshman's struggles up to him facing quicker, tougher defenders than he did in high school ball. Colorado may present a unique opportunity to change his fortunes, if that's the case. The Buffaloes are one of the worst defensive teams in the league. They're 11th in points allowed per game in the Big 12. Kansas needs Selby to find his way soon, or coach Bill Self will be forced to start looking at potential replacements in the starting lineup for the talented freshman. HEARYE, HEARYE "Every time anybody plays a game, 50% of the teams in the country lose that night, and we hadn't lost yet, so naturally, losing is a big deal but if a team can't respond from one loss then they're probably not that tough." - Coach Bill Self Taylor Big 12 showdown Lighting up the scoreboard ANTHONY WILSON KANSAS 18-1,(3-1 BIG 12) STARTERS KANSAS VS. COLORADO 7 p.m., BOULDER, Colorado Tyshawn Taylor, guard Dennis Sullivan Kansas' enigmatic point guard was back at his Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde existence in Saturday's loss. Dr. Tyshawn had six assists and zero turnovers and helped shut down Texas star Jordan Hamilton in the first half. Mr. Taylor was 2-for-8 from the field as a key part of an atrocious shooting night from the Kansas starters. Reed C. E. A. B. Selby ★★★☆☆ Tyrel Reed,guard Reed was the lone offensive bright spot for Kansas on Saturday. He triggered the 18-3 Jayhawk run that started the game with a three on the first possession and finished with a team-high 17 points in the loss. Reed may draw the unenviable task of guarding Cory Higgins or Alec Burks, two of the purest scorers in the conference. M. DAVID RANDALL ★★★★☆ Morris Josh Selby, guard Selby has had a brutal go of it lately, and his 2-of-9 performance from the field Saturday was the latest manifestation of that. The potential is still there, of course, but the Jayhawks need him to tap into if they're going to pick up a game on the conference-leading Texas Longhorns. Josh Selby, guard MICHAEL MORRIS ★★★★☆ Morris Marcus Morris, forward Morris' numbers Saturday weren't terrible (16 points, seven rebounds), but what makes him great is his efficiency, and that was lacking. He was just 6-for-17 from the field against the excellent Texas frontcourt. He'll have a much easier time against Colorado. Expect a big day from him. ★★★★★ Markieff Morris, forward Markieff is one of the best reers in the country, but he is struggling to carry the rest of the team. His numbers (8.5 rebounds per game) are the best in the Big 12, but the Jayhawks have been out-rebounded in four games this year. They're 3-1 with an average margin of victory of .25 in those games. Markieff is one of the best rebound- ★★★★ COLORADO 14-6, (3-2 BIG 12) STARTERS MIRALA CROCCO Nate Tomlinson, guard Tim Dwyer Tomlinson has not been anything special this year. He averages 2.7 points per game and is second with 2.4 assists per game. The junior from Sydney, Australia, led the Buffalooes in assists as a freshman and sophomore, the first player to do that since NBA guard Chauncey Billups. ★★★☆☆ Tomlinson Cory Higgins, guard Last season, Higgins missed the shot with seconds left that would have given Colorado the upset over Kansas.The game is in the past and Higgins is second on the team in scoring averaging 16.1 points per game. He is second in the Big 12 in free-throw percentage (minimum 2.5 made per game), shooting 89.1 percent from the line.Higgins also leads the team with 2.7 assists per game. ★★★★ MATTHEW WILSON Alec Burks, forward Burks leads the team in scoring (19.6 points per game) and is second behind Baylor's LaceDarius Dunn (21.3 points per game). He has done most of his scoring inside the three-point line, only making 14 threes this season. Burks is deadly from inside the paint, where he draws a lot of contact. He has taken 146 free throws this season, connecting on 82.9 percent of them. Burks is second on the team with 5.7 rebounds per game, with 2.15 coming off the offensive glass. Higgins ★★★★★ Austin Dufault, forward Austin Dufault, forwards Dufault has similar height to the Morris twins, but does not have the athleticism. Dufault leads the Buffaloes with 2.75 fouls per game, but will have a difficult time staying out of foul trouble with the twins on the block. Dufault averages 8.7 points per game and grabs 4.7 rebounds, which is good for third best on the team. ★★☆☆★ Burks Marcus Relphorde, forward Marcus Relphorde, forward Relphorde is the fourth Buffalo to average double-digit points per game, scoring an average of 11.6. He is third in assists, 2.35 per game, and averages 4.2 rebounds per contest. Like Dufault, Relphorde will have a tough time against the Morris twins because they are both bigger and more athletic. Relphorde can space the floor, which will open up the lane for Burks and Higgins. Tyrel Reed Dufault ★★☆☆ 1 Relphorde Tyrel Reed Mike Lavieri CU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Colorado is coming off twostraight away losses to Nebraska and Oklahoma after starting the Big 12 campaign 3-0. This will be the last time these two teams meet in Boulder while both are members of the Big 12. Colorado will be hungry to win tonight after taking Kansas to overtime last year. The Buffalooes are third in the Big 12 in scoring (81.8 points per game), but are 11th in points allowed (71.4 points per game). Coors Event Center is difficult to play in because of the altitude, sitting at about 5,200 feet above sea level. PLAYERS TO WATCH Guards: sophomore Alec Burks and senior Cory Higgins Bill Sell called Burks a pro and said that Higgins will probably be a pro. The two are the best scoring duo in the Big 12, averaging 35.7 points per game between the two. Both can score off the dribble, from behind the three-point line and can get others POLYTECHNICIAN Burks involved. What makes the two difficult to defend is their ability to get into the paint and draw contact. Burks and Higgins have turned the ball over this season 92 times. That's because the two have the ball the most, but their assist-to-turnover ratio is an abysmal 1.08. QUESTION MARK How important are free throws? Free throws have always been game changers or breakers. Colorado's three best free-throw shooters, Knutson, Higgins and Burks, are a combined 246-286 (86 percent). Higgins and Burks have been to the line 256 times. If Kansas fouls Colorado frequently, the Jayhawks will have a tough time stopping Colorado because it is so efficient at the charity stripe. Colorado is shooting 77.9 percent as a team, but take the three best shooters out and the Buffalooes are only shooting 66.5 percent. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "I think we got beat by a team that wanted it more than us . . . they outplayed us, they out-toughed us, they out-scrapped us. They got long rebounds and loose balls. It was an extremely frustrating and disappointing day for our basketball team and our program. This is a game we could have won, should have won and we didn't win -and that's hard to swallow when you're a coach." - Colorado coach and Kansas graduate Tad Boyle after Colorado's 67-60 loss against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla. ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF. The Jayhawks don't let the emotional drain overtake them like it did Saturday. Kansas coach Bill Self admitted Monday that his players were emotionally spent, but if it hampers their performance Tuesday, the Jayhawks will be ripe for an upset. For the first time in a while, Colorado's got too much talent for Kansas to sleep on. P Prediction: THE BUFFALOES WILL STAMPEDE IF... me. "We developed a lot this year and I think they will continue to get better next season." I'm not convinced.I'm not sure how the current talent level can improve enough to win against legitimate playoff teams every week. Quarterback play is crucial and I'm not sold on Matt kg Cassel. In the 2008 season game, Cassel took over for Tom Brady on a team that went 18-1 the year before. All Cassel did was lose five games and miss the playoffs. He played great this year, throwing 27 touchdowns to only seven interceptions. The year before, he went for 16 touchdowns and a whopping Kansas 89, Colorado 80 CHIEFS (CONTINUED FROM 8A) 16 interceptions. Maybe the addition of Weiss helped spark those numbers in 2010? I think so. It's too bad he's in Florida now. CJP Somebody, anybody, in the frontcourt steps up. Cory Higgins and Alec Burks are good for 15 points a piece, but the dynamic twosome can't do it themselves. Colorado's frontcourt has been lacking since 7-footer David Harrison graduated in 2004. Somebody has to step up. But they won 10 games this yearand will continue to improve, correct? I don't think so. Not next year, anyway. A quick look at the Chiefs' record in 2010 shows they beat only one playoff team, and that was the 7-9 Seahawks. It's more as if they beat half of a playoff team. The other nine wins came against subpar teams like the Browns, the 49'ers, and the Jaguars. Granted, a win is a win, but how often can a team win 10 games and only have to beat a single playoff team? Not very often. The 2011 schedule is brutal with . games against the Packers, Bears, Jets, Patriots, Steelers and Colts. The walk in the park that was the 2010 schedule turns into a mine field next season. No week will be safe, and feasting on cupcakes won't get you a playoff berth. The couple thousand KU fans yelling "home of the Chiefs" this Saturday afternoon will disagree with this, 中 and maybe they are right. Maybe the Chiefs will continue to improve and shake off the tough personnel losses and tough schedule. But I don't think so. — Edited by Marla Daniels KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 2011 / SPORTS SPORTS 7A QUOTE OF THE DAY "It's not the load that breaks you down; it's the way you carry it." — Lou Holtz FACT OF THE DAY The Colorado Buffalo basketball team leads the Big 12 in free throw percentage at 77.9 percent and are second, behind Kansas, in field goal percentage at 48.6 percent. Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Following a loss, how many times has the Kansas basketball team bounced back with a win? A: Nineteen straight times Kansas Athletics There's no place like the Phog MORNING BREW Last weekend I spent 12 hours in a production truck at the UMKC men and women's UMKC men and women's basketball double header. While it was a very valuable experience, learning the magic buttons that make sporting events go on air, spending my Saturday with a bunch of middleaged guys was not exactly what I wanted to do, especially with the KU game on. The UMKC atmosphere was very interesting, it had a wide range of fans: from students to scraggly looking cowboys with snake skin boots to Sports Illustrated writer Joe Posnansski Swinney Recreation Center is a nice place to catch a game and UMKC has some players who are very fun to watch, players like Jay Cousinard or Spencer Johnson, but something was missing. As I sat there in the freezing production truck watching the game, I didn't feel like I was watching a college basketball game. And when the scoreboard went out and I asked the guy next to me why it wasn't working, his reply told me what was wrong, "Well, this isn't Allen Fieldhouse." Vivek BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com And he was right. I think KU students forget just how special our home for basketball is. Swinney auditorium won't seat more than about 1,500 people, and very rarely is full, while the fieldhouse officially seats 16,300, and is almost always filled to the brim with students and alumni. KU students wait outside for hours for their chance to get a good seat, while UMKC kids can mosey on in halfway through the game and still find first row seats. For about 100 dollars a year students get to watch a team that other people would pay 100 dollars a game to watch. KU game's are on national TV on at least a weekly basis while the next TV game for UMKC won't be until February 10th. THE MORNING BREW KU basketball may be on a down beat after losing at our beloved fieldhouse to the Longhorns, but I can guarantee that the next home game will be packed and the students will still be as exuberant as ever. I still get chills before our players names are called and when they show the KU video before tip off. I think every KU student knows Allen Fieldhouse is special, but I think that if they sat through a game at another school they would be reminded just how rare it really is.

Will the Jayhawks prevail against a strong Buffalo offense? The Kansan's basketball writers think they might. WWW.KANSAN.COM BLAZIN' BUFFALOES Kansas defense put to test KANSAS 23 Senior quarri Mario Little tries to save the ball from going out of bounds Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks lost to the Longhorns 74-63 and face a tough test on the road tonight. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball The scouting report on the Colorado Buffaloes is startling in its simplicity. The Buffaloes can score, plain and simple. Senior guard Cory Higgins has averaged more than 15 points per game in each of the last three seasons in Boulder. Sophomore wing Alec Burks is a legitimate Big 12 Player of the Year contender and is second in the Big 12 at 19.6 points per game. And Levi Knutson has evolved into a three-point snipter extraordinaire, hitting 49.4 percent of his efforts from deep. He's so efficient that, according to Ken Pomeroy's comprehensive offensive rating statistic, Knutson is actually the best offensive player in the country. "They've got Higgins and Burks who are both great players," senior guard Tyrel Reed said. "They've got Knutson coming off the bench who is leading the Big 12 in three-point percentage. So we definitely need to be better defensively." The good news for Kansas is twofold, though. First, guarding the perimeter has been the Jayhawks' defensive strength all year. Knutson isn't likely to see many open looks and Higgins and Burks will have to deal with the hassling defensive tandem of Tyshawn Taylor and Brady Morningstar. "Burks is a pro and Higgins will probably be a pro," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I think they're the top scoring duo in our league and probably as good of wings that we have in our conference." Second, Kansas' greatest strength is Colorado's greatest weakness. The Jayhawk frontcourt, led by Marcus and Markieff Morris, is one of the best in the country, though the presence of Thomas Robinson will be missed. Robinson left Monday after practice to return to Washington, D.C., to be with his family after losing his mother to an apparent heart attack Friday night. LaceDarius Dunn, the Big 12's leading scorer with 21.3 points per game, and Jordan Hamilton, third in the conference with 19.5 points per game, were both held below their scoring averages. Higgins and Burks may likewise struggle to find the hoop. "Thomas said yesterday that he positively wanted to go to Boulder," coach Bill Self said Monday, "but I think that was out of emotion. Then after visiting with his sister last night, you know, she's 9 years old and she wants her brother home, and that's where he needs to be." Robbinsons eight points and 6.1 rebounds per game won't go unnoticed, but teammates and coaches alike are unwaveringly supportive of his decision to be with his family. "You just have to be there for him," senior Brady Mongstaring said. "In no way could I imagine what he is going through right now. He is a 19-year old and having all that happen to him is just terrible, so you just have to stay close to him and give him your love and affection" Edited by Danielle Packer COMMENTARY Three defensive recruits help fill in the gaps BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com 2010 was rough. There aren't many cool or catchy headlines that can sum up the year better than that. The coaching staff was new, the players were largely young and inexperienced, injuries took out a few key players for the entire season, and it showed on the field. As bad as the results were last season, Turner Gill and his coaches have been able to land a number of talented recruits for 2011. Rivals.com has the Jayhawks with the 31st best recruiting class, and it seems, so far at least, that the coaches have filled the holes they felt were missing on last year's 3-9 team, a team that finished ninth in the Big 12 Conference in total defense. One of those holes was the defensive line, which was a large reason Kansas was 11th in the conference in sacks and rushing. In the last few days, the staff filled two more of those holes. How? By landing not only one three-star defensive end, but two. Michael Reynolds, a 6"4" 220 pound defensive end from Wichita's Kapaun Mt. Carmel High committed Sunday morning after a trip The three-star lineman did a little bit of everything in high school, including returning kicks and lining up at tight end periodically. There's little to no chance he will do either of those while in a Kansas uniform, but the fact that a defensive end was a successful kick returner in high school really speaks to the athleticism he brings to Lawrence. Kansas wasn't the only major conference school after Reynolds, however. Kansas State and Rose Bowl Champion TCU recently offered him scholarships but Reynolds will head to Lawrence this summer. to Lawrence to watch the men's basketball team take on the Texas Longhorns. Joining Reynolds next season is fellow three-star defensive end Javonte Daniel. Standing at 6'4" 215 pounds, Daniel is a near clone of Reynolds and boasts an impressive offer sheet, with schools including Southern Miss, Mississippi State and Arkansas. Both Reynolds and Daniel will offer immediate help to the Kansas defense, which was more than likely a huge selling point Turner Gill and defensive coordinator Carl Torbush harped on: playing time. And lots of it. DYLAN ADMIRE 40 Along with the defensive line, the Jayhawks are beefing up their offense with recruits Admire, Berglund and Miller.

All three defensive commits have one thing in common: speed, Edited by Tali David COMMENTARY Chiefs' 2011-12 season uncertain M BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com I'm not a Chiefs hater, but there is one thing I can't stand. It's that "home of the Chiefs" chant I have to hear every time I'm in Allen Fieldhouse. Why is it the home of the Chiefs? They play in Missouri. I thought we despised everything about Missouri. And why during the national anthem? So yeah, besides that, I don't mind the Chiefs. So now, I'm trying to figure out how the Chiefs will win half of their games next year. Most of my friends are Chiefs fans, and they obviously won't like this or agree with it, but I think 2010 was a mirage. Here's why: In 2009, Todd Haley called the plays for the offense. The results? A 4-12 record. The six game turnaround and playoff berth this year was nice. But how did it happen? Charlie Weiss was hired as offensive coordinator and play caller. He's one of the best offensive coordinators of the last decade, so that helps. Or shall I say helped. Because Weiss is gone. Shortly after Kansas City's firstround playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Weiss accepted the offensive coordinator position at the University of Florida. Like a domino effect at the Chiefs facilities, Todd Haley has hinted he might call the plays himself next year. I realize that he successfully called the plays as offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals, but he had a lot of help, Calling plays for Kurt Warner, Anquan Boldin, and Larry Fitzgerald was easy, but he doesn't have that kind of talent in Kansas City. He has a great running back in Jamal Charles, and a potential star in tight end Tony Moeaki, but the rest are a bunch of afterthoughts. Who leaves an NFL coordinator position for an identical job in the college ranks? Florida is a great college job, sure. But at the end of the day, it's still a college job. It doesn't hold a candle to an NFL position. Not many people outside of Chiefs insiders truly know why Weiss left the Chiefs, but I'm guessing he didn't like his boss. There's not many other reasons why you leave an NFL job like that after one year. So now that he's gone, what else will change? Storm Schnake, a sophomore from Olathe and diehard Chiefs fan, disagrees. "We had a stellar draft class last year and we were really young," Schnake told SEE CHIEFS ON PAGE 6A THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 80 BREAKING BARRIERS FACES IN THE THE Harvey brothers joined KU's athletic teams simply beause they wanted to play sports.

[Editor's Note: This is part one of a two-part series about black athletes at the University. Part two will run tomorrow.] BY JAYSON JENKS editor@kansan.com When the white farmhouse burst into a fiery mess, the dark storage trunks rested somewhere inside the three-story building, keeping their treasures tightly secured. Maude Harvey knew what was inside the trunks — the keepsakes and artifacts amassed during her lifetime — and she wanted them safe. She wanted to pass them along to her children and to her children's children. The 60-year-old house was a relic, built on the original Harvey family homestead established in 1863 near Blue Mound, southeast of Lawrence. The land was the Harveys' first as free people and that meant something. It still means something. But in 1968 the house caught fire, and Maude Harvey cried for someone to save the tangible evidence of her past. Two of her sons rushed inside and pulled one of the trunks to safety. The others were lost in the flames. The baby clothes and family items burned. Part of the Harvey family history burned too.

SMITH Lew Perkins faces a $4,000 fine for accepting free equipment. Another charge was dropped. Perkins fined for ethics violation jshorman@kansan.com BY JONATHAN SHORMAN Former athletics director Lew Perkins was fined $4,000 Tuesday by the Kansas Ethics Commission for improperly accepting exercise equipment. The commission could have fined Perkins up to $5,000 for accepting free equipment from Medical Outfitters, based in Kansas City. The equipment was in Perkins' home from 2005-2009. As athletics director, part of Perkins' salary was paid for by state funds, making him a state employee and subject to state ethics laws. "I never acted with any intent to violate any laws or ethical rules," the statement said. Perkins said in the statement that he fully cooperated with the commission and was satisfied with the decision. Perkins released a statement through his attorney following the decision.

The parking spaces behind the boarding house on 1037 Kentucky. The house has six bedrooms and six occupants, but only four parking spaces. 1037 KENTUCKY TENANTS ONLY Boarding houses are multi-dwelling living structures in which five or more unrelated people live together. Scott McCullough, director of planning and development services, said that commissioners have discussed boarding house issues at several meetings. "We've been at it for quite a while now," he said. At Tuesday's city commission meeting, commissioners discussed re-evaluating parking standards, boarding house structure space, and creating grandfathered rights for any approved boarding house planning site. Megan Singer/KANSAN The former parking standard for boarding houses was .75 spaces per legal occupant. City commissioners approved changing the standard to one parking space per bedroom. ments, which get one space per bedroom. McCullough said. For example, if an approved boarding house is damaged by fire and does not meet the new requirements for parking, it is allowed to rebuild with the old standards. The approved grandfathered rights will allow damaged boarding house sites to rebuild. In the past, conflicts among boarding house residents and other neighborhood residents sparked discussion among city commissioners. Consequences of large living arrangements, such as noise complaints and excessive trash, forced the commission to consider eliminating boarding houses. Currently, the city will keep boarding houses and permit them to be built in the future. "Ultimately it was viewed as a good option for student housing and an option that is feasible "It's good for people who want to live with a bunch of their friends but aren't in a sorority or fraternity." The reason for the change was to provide a similar standard for boarding houses as for apart- DAN BURNETTE student when lawful students take up residency," McCullough said. Joe Jaceline owns a house in Lawrence that he rents out to college students. Although his property only has three residents and is not considered a boarding house, he did live in communal structures as a college student and understands the conflicts boarding houses can cause. "In any college town there are going to be conflicts between students and others in the neighborhood," he said. "More students are looking for cheaper housing and you find them ending up in residential areas." "There are 10 of us and everybody has a lot of friends, so when we have people over, there's a lot of noise," he said. Dan Burdette, a junior from Overland Park, lives in a house with nine other roommates, and said he often deals with noise complaints from neighbors. Although boarding houses might cause conflicts in neighborhoods, Burdette said communal living arrangements provide different options for students.

Megan Singer/KANSAN 12th Street to be brought to light LAWRENCE BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com Walking from campus to downtown Lawrence at night can be a harrowing experience. "It's a steep hill and you're not sure when the sidewalk is going to be smooth or break right in front of you," said Libby Johnson, chairwoman of the Campus Safety Advisory Board. "There are stairs in random places and it's too dark to see where you're going. It's pretty scary." However, this will soon change. The first stage of construction includes a concrete sidewalk along the north side of 12th Street between Louisiana and Vermont streets. The city of Lawrence will As soon as the weather improves, construction will begin on the Oread Neighborhood Lighting Project. The project will connect downtown Lawrence to campus with a well-lit, handicap accessible pathway. also erect light poles along the sidewalk in South Park in March. "It's going to increase the safety of the Oread Neighborhood," said Johnson, a senior from Lawrence. "There have been rapes and there have been other crimes; and I think this is going to do a very good job in preventing that." The path will be lined with antique style light posts that have energy saving LED light bulbs installed. The lights will be connected to motion sensors. Some proponents said these lights would increase the safety of pedestrians. "Lighting does not necessarily guarantee safety, but it does give people walking the opportunity to see up ahead," said Mark Thiel, assistant public works director for the City of Lawrence. Thiel also said the path would also help decrease crime in the area by increasing foot traffic. Both the University of Kansas and the City are providing funding for the project. The Campus Safety Advisory Board allocated $100,000 for the project and Student Senate an additional $20,000. The City contributed $50,000 and administered $60,000 of a Community Development Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The total project will cost $307,010. KUJH Construction was set to begin during Thanksgiving break. Delays and bad weather have prevented the company contracted to build the sidewalk, RD Johnson Excavating, from starting.

CAMPUS —Adam Strunk Author speaks on race, community BY LISA ANDERSEN landersen@kansan.com Students and faculty gathered on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union Tuesday evening to hear Dr. Adia Harvey Wingfield, assistant professor of sociology at Georgia State University, speak about her new book, "Yes We Can?: White Racial Framing and the 2008 Presidential Campaign." The event was organized by the Office of Multicultural Affairs in an effort to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. Wingfield teaches classes on ideas such as race, gender, work and social theory at Georgia State University, according to www2.ssu.edu. "We saw her speak at a conference this summer; she was a really phenomenal speaker and we enjoyed her topic," Precious Porras, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs said. "I think we've come very far, but we still have far to go." Porras said. "It's an opportunity to remind students that we need to be active and aware so we can move further and beyond." Wingfield traveled with President Obama during his campaign trail to research her book using first-hand observation. Porras feels as though there is much to be learned about race in America today.

"Debates about public policy and how the world is organized continue to revolve around issues about race," Staples said. Porras said Wingfield's speech is the starting point of the Office of Multicultural Affairs' Preemptive Action campaign during Black History Month, which she hopes will turn into a year long campaign if it is successful. "People look at [Martin Luther King, Jr. Day] as a day off," Porras said. "You should be aware of the events around you every day." Porras feels that the University of Kansas is an accepting community, and does not limit awareness to solely issues of race. "I would say that overall KU is an inclusive community," Porras said. "If you have your own dream, what are you doing to make that dream happen?" —Edited by Becca Harsch PERKINS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "It is time for closure and to move on, and I am glad to have this matter fully and finally resolved," the statement said.

The commission also agreed not to take any further action against Perkins regarding the exercise equipment. "Both parties wish to avoid potentially costly and protracted litigation," according to the agreement. The commission dropped a second allegation that Perkins had accepted free physical therapy sessions from sports medicine employees, the Associated Press reported, because it did not have the witnesses to prove the allegations. the victim of blackmail relating to allegations he improperly accepted the equipment and physical therapy sessions. Former director of sports medicine William Dent allegedly blackmailed Perkins after learning Perkins had received free equipment. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little ordered a review and turned the case over to the Kansas Ethics Commission. In June, Perkins claimed he was In June, Perkins announced he would leave the position of athletics director in September 2011. However, Perkins abruptly resigned September 7, 2010, the same day the ethics complaint regarding exercise equipment was signed and notarized. A commission hearing on Perkins had been scheduled for November 16, but was delayed after Perkins had a scheduling conflict. —Edited by Becca Harsch ROBINSON (CONTINUED FROM 12A) knew Thomas' situation and how much his mother meant to him, in large part, because that's all he had. His only set of grandparents he knew died within the last three weeks. He gets a call from his sister, who's nine, that mommy just died from a 9-year-old, because there's nobody else to call. Those are pretty heavy things. Our players totally felt that and respected that and totally respect Thomas." The players really want to know about 'Thomas' situation. They want to know about the arrangements and about Robinson's 9-year-old sister, Jayla. They want to know what KU can legally do and what the NCAA will allow. Most importantly they wanted to know if anybody was going to be able to be with Robinson, because he does not deserve to be alone. After practice on Monday, Director of Basketball Operations Barry Hinson traveled to Washington D.C. to help Robinson. Self, the staff and the Jayhawks have had numerous conversations about the situation. The discussions have been about how to move forward from a business standpoint and a personal standpoint. "To me, the big picture is Thomas," Self said. "The other things, basketball, can help with the big picture, which is Thomas. The big picture's not us winning on Tuesday; the big picture's not us winning on Saturday. The big is not that. Basketball is a byproduct that we're fortunate enough to participate in because of these guys. But these guys always come first, always. We've got to get back to basketball, but not at the expense of not doing what we should do for the big picture." Hinson is working with Robinson on getting an attorney lined up and helping become educated with all the things he has to do. Figuring out family possessions is going to be a difficult task, but also what to do with Jaya. A scholarship fund in Lisa Robinson's name is being set up for Jayla. People are asked to contribute to the fund in lieu of flowers or other gifts. Jayla broke the unfortunate news to Robinson, because she had nobody else to call. On Sunday, Robinson said he "positively wanted to go to Boulder," but after talking to Jayla, he thought it would be best to go home. A timetable has not been set for his return to the team and Self is OK with the date Robinson sets to return. Self said that people handle certain situations differently in these types of circumstances and he wants Robinson to do what is best for him. What's amazing about the situation is how many people want to help Robinson. So many people that Self doesn't know and does know and that Robinson doesn't know are willing to offer their assistance in unselfish ways. "I've had friends, that I've known for years, that live in Texas that want to go to DC right now," Self said. "They want to move up here and just take care of Thomas's sister. They're talking about guardianship, people that don't know him. It's amazing to me how people get connected to our guys because they see them as one of theirs. That's one of the great things about playing here and I think Thomas sees that now more than ever. There's been some positive things have come of this, without question. No definite answers will be given on anything until he has a chance to figure out what's best for he and what's best for Jayla."

Most aren't concerned with much past what parties are going on this weekend. I am not here to make judgments or make people feel bad. I too have been wrapped up in the animosity that has become a central part of American culture. After all, it is difficult to muster real international concern when, especially in Kansas, we can seclude ourselves well enough to never have to bother with the actions of countries thousands of miles away. Maria Clemente This perspective, however, is not only detrimental to ourselves, but to our community, our country and our BY SHAUNA BLACKMON slackmon@kansan.com world as a whole. If young people don't start paying attention to the doings of those around us now, we won't until it becomes too late, and we are wrapped up in another war, and hatred towards the U.S. deepens past the monumental levels it has already reached. The consequences of American indifference have already become apparent to those paying attention. After Sept. 11, America echoed pleas of "why do they (the Arab world) hate us?" It only takes the lightest skimming of international news, or even better, news by international companies, to find a multitude of answers. Americans are notorius for only looking at one side of things—our side. Many people blindly support Israel over Palestine because American foreign policy favors Israel, which is reflected in our media. Many ignore China's overwhelming human rights violations because China is the largest owner of U.S. debt, and to speak too negatively of them in our media might endanger our faulty and dangerous relationship with China. If a topic or perspective is not shown on Fox or MSNBC, it might as well not exist for many people. While what goes on in Tunisia, Jordan or Cuba might not heavily affect our immediate future, only foolishness and irresponsibility pretends that those actions won't have some impact on our world and future. From this point on, I will try to show you just how events across the globe affect our community. In a global world, everything is related whether in the short or long run. As the next educated wave of adults entering the world, we must not underestimate the importance of being aware of the world around us and our position in that world.

THE BATTLE FOR DEMOCRACY NICHOLAS SAMBALUK t weet of the week Tweet us your opinions to @kansanopinion Did you think the fans this weekend were respectful about the loss? --- Do you think the lack of political interest in American culture is detrimental to our youth? How do you feel about the recent education cuts? LETTER TO THE EDITOR Loss shows true colors of Kansas fans Talk about a little perspective. After the loss to Texas on Saturday, I did not hear, see or read about a single Jayhawk fan complaining about our defeat. Instead, I saw articles about strong bonds between teammates, the importance of family and the support of the Jayhawk nation. Nobody criticized the team for losing. They focused on the greatest loss of all - the loss for Thomas Robinson and his family. And you know what? All of this positive support for the team surrounding Saturday's game doesn't surprise me one bit. Our fans are classy. We don't boo our own team, we don't act like we are better than we really are and we don't value a winning streak too heavily. Believe me, there are plenty of people out there who would feel differently and criticize every last element of the game. But that didn't happen here in Lawrence, and I am glad to be a member of a fan base that knows how to keep everything in perspective, even when that perspective must be a sad one. On an even broader level, I think that anyone who believes that college kids have no sense of priorities should view this as an opportunity to think again. From Robinson's teammates to my own classmates and friends, everyone has the same attitude: family comes first or, as the basketball team suggests, Family Over Everything To me, this is a refreshing confirmation that our generation isn't completely lost to triviality and self-absorption. Instead, we know how support each other when the going gets rough. Just add it to the list of reasons why it's great to be a Jayhawk. Anna Creaden is a junior from Overland Park. LOCAL POLITICS Recent education cuts reflect selfish culture Maybe I'm biased. As an up and coming high school English teacher, I was particularly troubled by the recent cuts to public education that Kansas Governor Sam Brownback recently announced. These cuts not only jeopardize my future job security, they also make clear our leaders see devastating cuts to education as a preferable alternative to raising taxes even a little bit. It's no secret that our entire country is still wading through an economic recession, and common sense dictates that in times like these it's crucial to cut spending in order to save money. BY SPENCER DAVIDSON sdavidson@kansan.com But common sense also dictates that the way out of money troubles is to make money, and the most efficient way for a state to do that is through taxes. In this state especially, too many believe raising taxes is solely characteristic of the Democratic Party, viewing them as anti-capitalistic and anti-American. Kansas' new governor would rather make grievous cuts to public education than raise taxes by even a penny, despite making a campaign pledge to increase funding for education. This is not only a poor reflection on our governor, but also those who elected him. And that's the problem. When did we as a culture allow the fundamental concept of raising taxes to become such a polarizing political buzzword? Are we more willing to take away from the quality of our youths' education rather than make any sort financial sacrifice ourselves? We live in an age of self-indulgence unlike any previous generation America has ever known. We are a country that has more luxuries than any other nation in human history, and even in a recession we still control much of the world's wealth. While millions around the globe face the brutal realities of starvation every day, we contend with the growing problem of child obesity. In spite of the difficult economic times, the majority of us still go to bed in a house that has electricity, heat and running water. And we know nothing of sacrifice. In a society as selfish as ours, in a nation where raising taxes is considered to be political self-destruction for any leader, how can we ever expect to improve any of the public services we rely so heavily upon? More and more with each passing year, teachers are simply expected to work for almost nothing. How can you afford to pay public servants if there isn't any tax money to pay them with? Nobody likes taxes. But they are a necessary element of any functioning society as a means of keeping money circulating throughout the domestic economy. And in a recession like this, they can certainly help keep America's public education system intact, and maybe improve it. Whatever we do, if we want to save education it's going to have to come out of our own wallets. We have a choice. We can sacrifice our money or sacrifice our future. And the governor's recent cuts to education are a disheartening indication that we've already made our decision. Davidson is a senior in Secondary English Education from Linwood.

Scott and Mandy Matney. --- 5A / NEWS / WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM HARVEY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) The picture shows the 1893 Kansas football team. With only a date and names penciled on the front, the photo tells the story of Ed Harvey and his two brothers who together helped shape the University's cultural landscape. The picture has 19 faces, each with stoic expressions. Ed Harvey, Maude's husband, is the youngest of three brothers. He's one of the faces. Ed's left arm rests gently on a teammate's shoulder. He'll soon be an active community figure, but he'll forever hold the memories from that picture. In the years to follow, Ed and his brothers, Sherman and Frederick, will once again attempt to take on the University and its racial barriers, a battle they started as naive students years before. But none of that is apparent in the picture. Not at this time. The portrait is in the simple black and white style of its time, and those are the shades that matter most here. Because one of the faces — and the fluid, sometimes nonexistent relationship between the University and its first black athletes — is the reason the photo is even relevant today. "You're not ready for a black face to be there," Ed Harvey's grand-daughter Karen Byers said in September. "But there it is." 图 图 So what happened? Why did the University accept the Harvey brothers as students in the 1800s, then push them away two decades later? Why did race relations splinter and opportunities disappear? By 1914, blacks had been banned from athletics, and the Harveys pleaded with University officials to change course. Ed wrote a letter to the KU Board of Administration asking for answers. At the very least, he wanted an explanation. I would like to ask the status of the Negro in athletics at K.U.? My understanding is that negroes are barred from participating in athletics... Unlike the racial issue of the time, today's answers to that problem aren't black and white. Some say an influx of "new" African-Americans to Lawrence were unfamiliar with racial customs and traditions. Others say early abolitionists started dying off, and the new generation didn't sympathize with the cause. The opinions and explanations are endless, but they all lead to the same conclusion: Racial discontent reached a new fervor at the start of the 20th century. The open doors that first greeted Sherman Harvey at the University in 1883 slowly started to close. ...Now if these things are true, and I think they are, is it fair? Has not the negro student the same right to show his prowess on the athletic field as the white student?... The young man in Sherman had sought knowledge through newspapers, books and whatever other means available. Chancellor James Marvin had greeted Sherman kindly when he arrived at the University in 1883, and he had left in the same manner under Chancellor Joshua Lippincott in 1889 upon graduating. But as a grown man, the changing tide of race relations hovered over Sherman, thick and with deep implications. Sherman was on a committee to protest University discrimination, a group that targeted Chancellor E.H. Lindley, the man in charge as segregation swept the campus. ...Why have conditions changed? The negro formerly participated in athletics and always with credit to his school and to himself.. The Harvey brothers were adults now, with kids and jobs and taxes to pay, and they knew that the University had led them there. But now the University — their University — was turning other blacks away. The racism was an undercurrent and a tidal wave. People on both sides thought they were right. The Harneys and others thought blacks deserved equality; Lindley and his supporters didn't think blacks could mesh at the University without economic and social consequences. ...My brothers and I helped make "athletics" at KU. And as you are passing on other athletic problems I would like for you to pass on this one... Lindley answered Ed Harvey's letter seven days later. He never addressed the issue. --- Snemer Harvey steps into the batter's box as the only black member of Kansas' baseball team. The game is in his hands. It's 1899, and the score is tied in the ninth inning. Manager Alexander Martin Wilcox, a professor of Greek language and literature, calls on Sherman. This is his chance. Mary McCoy And if Sherman's past reveals anything, it's that he usually makes good on his chances. The idea was stoked long before that cold winter morning in 1883 when Sherman walked six miles across snow-covered ground to the University where his past collided with his future. As a boy in the 1870s, he watched the trains rumble past Lawrence, pouring clouds of black smoke into the air, and he daydreamed. Maybe he could be a part of that. Maybe he could tame those iron beasts. Maybe he could engineer trains. Above: Photo courtesy SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Sherman soon found that life deals many hands. The source of inspiration can also be the cruel source of rejection. His skin color dictated that he couldn't conduct trains, but Sherman had something else going for him, something unquantifiable but valuable. He had the backing of parents who wanted, who insisted, he succeeded. Rebecca and David Harvey had been through the gnawing life of slavery. Rebecca didn't know her parents or even her own name when she was born in North Carolina. For years, she had no identity. Only, Rebecca and David knew a plot of land couldn't close the racial gap. They knew they would need something else, something only the University could offer. After traveling from Arkansas to freed land outside Lawrence in 1863, Rebecca and David share-cropped on a farm owned by local sheriff Stephen Ogden. Five years later, they'd saved enough money to buy a 15-acre patch of land. Their land. No one in the Harvey family ever forgot that. talks of opportunity and education, and they decided: Their boys would attend the school on the hill, and they would begin the fight. What Sherman and his brothers couldn't grasp as boys, Rebecca and David could. The only way to fight ignorance – to fight the years of labor and fields and servitude – was to use knowledge as a weapon. Education became the boys' rifle, their equalizer. Who could help but respect a physician or a --- Rebecca and David Harvey watched the opening ceremony of Fraser Hall in 1872, and they started to formulate a plan. They took in the swirling possibilities, the Rebecca Brooks Harvey, the Harvey brothers' mother, was born in North Carolina without a name. After relocating to Arkansas, a foster mother in slavery gave her the name Rebecca Brooks as a child. She moved to Lawrence in 1863 with her husband David Harvey. V THE COTTAGE 9 1 KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2011 / NEWS 7A [Name of man pictured] Above: Photo courtesy SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Frederick Grant Harvey, the middle Harvey brother, played third base on the Kansas baseball team. He transferred to Meharry Medical School in Nashville and became a physician in Lawrence. When Sherman arrived at the University on Jan. 2,1883, he waited in the chancellor's office with three other prospective students - white students - and wondered how the office stayed so warm without a fire or a stove. 图 图 图 lawyer or an active town member? When fraternity members argued over the election of the 1889 class orator, Sherman was selected to fill the role. And when the decision was made, the shocked parties consented. The concept of a black face appearing in a white class was not impossible or improbable then. The first black KU student enrolled in 1876, and several others filtered When one of Lawrence's most famous residents, Langston Hughes, was expelled from Central Junior High in 1914, Frederick Harvey led a group to speak on his behalf. Hughes was reinstated. This would be the brothers' destiny: Turning a society structured to limit their chances into one full of opportunities. "When we say that there should be equality, we do not mean that there should be community," the article stated. "No matter how much we contend against the idea, the fact remains that there is an impassible gulf between the races." But the University's race relations weren't harmonious, at least in certain circles. The Harveys didn't talk much about it, but tension was there. Tension has always been there. through in the following years. The article was written in 1886, three years after Sherman had enrolled. 跑腿 But it wasn't until 1885 that the first African-American, Blanche K. Bruce, graduated from the University. When Larry Pearce wrote an article in 1909, he counted only 60 African-American graduates. More African-Americans took classes, of course, but many left without degrees. Many were also self-supporting, working as porters, waiters, janitors or maids. They struggled to balance school and work. The Harveys avoided such a fate. The school provided opportunity, and they always remembered the camaraderie of those days. In an article published in the weekly student newspaper, The University Courier, students rallied around the idea of segregation. The students weren't opposed to African-Americans being free. It's just, blacks still weren't whites, and society made that clear. On Kansas' 1889 baseball field, where Central Junior High now stands, Sherman readies himself. In his senior yearbook, "The Helianthus," Sherman is listed as one of two substitutes on the 11-member team. He's also part of the political science club, but "The Helianthus" describes the baseball team as the "leading athletic organization in the University." Now Sherman can add to that reputation. With the bases loaded, a hit would give Kansas a lead. 图 1 图 2 图 3 DEAN HARVEY 6.59 N ORD River House Photos above: Chris Bronson/KANSAN Rebecca and David Harvey moved to Lawrence in 1863 and began sharecropping on a farm owned by the local sheriff. Five years later, they bought a 15-acre patch of land by Blue Mound, southeast of Lawrence. They continued buying land through the years, and the farm has remained in the Harvey family to this day. The Harvey brothers grabbed the opportunities at the University and held on. Sherman stayed active in school but kept to himself socially. After graduation, he passed the Kansas bar and maintained a practice in the Philippines for 19 years. He died in 1934. Frederick, a third baseman, left the University to attend Meharry Medical School in Nashville. He became a prominent physician in the black community until his death in 1923. S. R. Ed used athletics as his platform, playing center on the football team. He also played baseball, wrestled and competed in track and field. Sherman Harvey, the oldest of the three Harvey brothers, played baseball on the 1889 Kansas baseball team. After graduation, he was elected clerk of the district court before opening a law firm in the Phillipines. Later in life, he regularly attended KU football games before his health prevented him from doing so. He kept in touch with teammates until he died in 1953. "That was Kansas at its best," said Bill Tuttle, professor emeritus of American studies at the University. "But then things changed, especially for this place with Bleeding Kansas and John Brown and freedom." Right: Photo courtesy SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Skin color started to matter. Opportunities for African-American students slowly evaporated. Segregation took hold. They wanted an education to better themselves. They wanted to carry on their parents' fight. And now the fight had more meaning. It's the championship of the Triangular League featuring Kansas, Washburn and Baker. Sherman shows that winning has no color. The Harvey brothers needed to step out of the shadow. In his final at bat of the game, Sherman takes a swing and sends the ball flying. He ends up on third with "a 3-bagger" as Ed would later describe it. Sherman's hit is the game winner, and it's an important one. V The Harveys had blended in with the University's white crowd. They had their reasons for going to school, but social change and racial equality weren't among them. The brothers thrust their job titles and statuses as letter winners in front of the segregation movement like a dam containing a flood. They pleaded with Lindley and the University's administration. They even visited Lindley in person to make their case. --- But they didn't stop anything. They couldn't stop anything. They wrote another letter in 1921 - seven years after the original. Still nothing. And it was then that the Harveys learned, like so many before, that change doesn't always happen quickly. Not even in a town with progressive roots. 图 图 图 Others would eventually follow the Harveys on the University's athletic fields, but by the late 1910s those chances vanished. Two brothers would be dead before another black athlete played at Kansas. --- Epilogue: Karen Byers, Ed Harvey's granddaughter and a contributing source for this story, died Jan. 21 at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

[Name] Johnson 4 --- KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2011 / SPORTS / 9A KANSAS 21 COLOR Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Junior forward Marcus Morris fouled hard late in the game Tuesday against Colorado. The Jayhawks defeated the Buffaloes to improve to 4-1 in conference play. Selby's performance on Tuesday shows what team is capable of A player who had been anything but electric since Big 12 play sparked the Jayhawks offense early in the game Tuesday night in Boulder, Colo. The Jayhawks, who appeared so anemic on the offensive end of the court last Saturday against Texas needed to get the offense back on track early and often against the high-scoring Buffaloes. Freshman guard Josh Selby was the ember in the Jayhawk fire that got the offense rolling in the thin air of the Coors Event Center as the Jayhawks won 82-78. The Jayhawks needed a guard to step up and counter the strong Colorado backcourt led by Cory Higgins and Alec Burks. Higgins and Burks combine for 35.7 points a game. "Well, Burks is a pro and Higgins will probably be a pro," coach Bill Self said before the game. "I think they're the top scoring duo in our league and probably as good of wings that we have in our conference." Burks and Higgins both had strong nights, scoring 25 and 19 respectively. Bu the Jayhawks had an answer on Tuesday against the resilient Buffaloes. Selby led Kansas in scoring, finishing with 17. Selby was active early, scoring 15 of his points in the first half. BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Selby had not been this aggressive since the Miami (OH) game on Jan. 2, in which Selby scored 18. "A player in his freshman year is obviously going to go up and down," senior guard Brady Morningstar said. "I just tell him to keep being aggressive, because if you are not aggressive that is not going to help out the team." These are the kinds of efforts Kansas is going to need from the highly touted freshman. Selby was effective in multiple ways on offense, driving to the lane, hitting the three, and finding the open man. Selby was seven-of-14 from the field, three-of-six from the three and also had five assists. Selby and the rest of the Jayhawks shot well, going 50.9 percent from the field and hitting 10 three-pointers. The free throw shooting rebounded from Saturday's effort as well; the team was 14-of-18 from the line and made their final seven on the night. Selby also contributed four rebounds in a game that the Jayhawks dominated on the glass. The Jayhawks outrebounded Colorado 35-19. The rebounds were a crucial component in the Jayhawk victory. The energy in Boulder was electric, and the Jayhawks come out of the mountains with a tough victory. "I think every year that I've been here they've been tough." senior guard Tyrel Reed said. "It's a good atmosphere and a good place to play." Kansas is going to continue to need a strong offensive performance from one of the guards if they want to continue winning on the road in tough Big 12 environments. Selby is going to have to be that extra spark for the Jayhawks. If he can continue to score double digits, Tyrel Reed is going to be able to have more room to hit the threes and the Morris Twins are going to have less pressure on them to score inside. Selby can be the guard who can put the Jayhawks over the top and lead the team to a seventh consecutive Big 12 title. - Edited by Corey Thibodeaux RECAP (CONTINUED FROM 12A) Kansas uniforms.

They stretched the lead to the final four-point margin inside five seconds, and essentially ended the game. Selby had his best game since a 7-of-12, 18-point game against Miami (OH).

With a throw of 67 feet, 11.5 inches, Finley also broke a 40-year-old KU record set by Karl Salb in 1970, according to a Kansas Athletic Department press release. "My dad threw at Wyoming." Finley said. "He trained me and I wanted to throw because of him. The Jayhawks discovered Finley before the beginning of his senior year at Buena Vista High School in Colorado when throwing coach Andy Kokhanovsky saw Finley compete at the Junior Olympics in California. While at Buena Vista, Finley threw the discus 236 feet, 6 inches, which is a national high school record. In fact, Kokhanovsky said that Finley is better in the discus, an event held during the outdoor track season. Kokhanovsky and Finley developed a rapport through the recruiting process, but Finley decided to sign with UCLA after also considering Kansas, Missouri, Texas A&M and Arizona State. The location, warm weather and coaching staff were the deciding factors in Finley's choice. After signing a letter of intent with the Bruins, however, their coach was fired, causing Finley to reconsider. "I didn't know who UCLA was going to bring in," Finley said. "Coach Andy was the guy to go with." After being released from his letter of intent by UCLA, Finley signed with the Jayhawks, where Finley's talent and knowledge impressed Kokhanovsky. "He was really talented physique wise, and his dad did a great job with him," Kokhanovsky said. Once arriving in college, Kokhanovsky was still able to outline ways that Finley could improve. "Technique was the really big thing that Coach helped me with a lot," Finley, who has been throwing since the sixth grade. "I hadn't done anything like the weights we do here." After more than a year under Kokhanovsky, Finley's technique is second nature for him, which is vital to his success. "If you think about your technique, you'll throw it badly. You have to trust your muscle memory and be relaxed, because there's a lot of adrenaline", Finley said. Entering the dual, the third meet of his sophomore campaign, Finlev was aming to throw 64 feet. After releasing his throw, Finley thought he could exceed that goal. The throw met the "A" Qualifying mark for the 2011 World Championships by Finley's competitive drive and noted that there are only minor technical things that Finley can improve. "It's a great thing, the way he competes. If he competes like this then the sky's the limit," Kokhanovsky said. Coach Stanley Redwine was pleased with the entire team's performance in the Dual, but was especially impressed by Finley's performance. While it is certainly not a simple task to qualify for either of those competitions, both Finley and Kokhanovsky believe Finley can do it, and he knows the ways in which he can continue to improve. "The MU meet was a total team effort. But you have to single Mason out," Redwine said. "To win the weight throw was one thing, but to do what he did in the shot put was special." "It's a great thing, the way he competes. If he competes like this then the sky's the limit." and 2012 Summer Olympics. Finley is not guaranteed a spot in either of those competitions, but now that he has hit the A mark, he has his path laid out for him. According to Kokhanovsky, after hitting the A mark, a thrower needs to place in the top three at the U.S. Championships to qualify for the World Championships or the Olympics. ANDY KOKHANOVSKY Throwing coach "I want to lose about 30 pounds, because you can hold yourself in different positions and move through the ring faster," Finley said. Redwine was also pleased with the shape his team is in this early in the season. He noted that in the Jayhawks' first meet back from break, the Bill Easton Classic on Jan. 8, the coaches Kokhanovsky was impressed wanted to see how the athletes trained over break. The teams' success against Missouri was due in large part to the training the athletes did during Winter Break to stay in shape. Redwine said he wasn't surprised that Finley won the shot put, but he was surprised at how far he threw it, and credited his offseason training. "He's throwing it farther than he did at the end of last year. Usually things go backward at the beginning of the year and then get better," Redwine said. - Edited by Amanda Sorell 370 Champion Sophomore thrower Mason Finley launches the weighted ball in the Bill Easton Classic's men's weight throw saturday afternoon in Anschutz Field House.

A: Christina Aguilera — NFL.com Rank is nothing but a number WARNING: YOU MIGHT BE ANGRY WITH ME AFTER READING THIS. MORNING BREW Let me ask you a question. What team is currently ranked No.1 in basketball? BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com If you said Ohio State, you're correct. If you said The Ohio State, you are either from Ohio or a beckeyes fan. I've seen it time and again, where fans will point with their index fingers and yell that their team is number one when a camera comes by. Every fan is guilty of it who has had the opportunity to do it. I'll admit, I've done it too, but I'm not proud of it. The Buckeyes and their fans, in my humble opinion, are the only ones allowed to point in a camera and say they are No.1 at the moment. The current polls came out Monday with OSU ranked No.1 in both the AP and Coaches polls. How far did Kansas fall after its loss to Texas? If you said sixth, you're right again. I would love to have seen Kansas fans holding up two fingers and shouting "Jayhawks" instead of saying they're number one. Doing an upside down "Hook 'em Horns" would have been enough justice. Anything but saying "we're number one" when it's further from the truth. The next opportunity Jayhawk fans have is on Saturday against Kansas State. Now ranked number six, it would be appropriate to show six fingers. It's difficult to do because it means the use of two hands, unless you're Antonio Alfonseca, who is currently a Major League Baseball free agent. If you're asking yourself if Alfonseca has six fingers on each of his hands, you're correct again. THE MORNING BREW Sure, Kansas was number one...last year, but that doesn't mean the team won't be back, because I guarantee it will be. I just don't know when. And there are a handful of teams that could say they are number one in their conference, but that's not fair to Ohio State, the real number one. Kansas will get back to the promised land of being atop the national polls during the season, but that's not what matters. The number one ranking is only a bull's-eye. It's the team that everybody wants to defeat. Really, teams want to be ranked number one at the end of the season, signaling they are the national champions. Be proud to show six fingers, because that's how many championships Kansas will have if it wins in 2011. Edited by Sarah Gregory Hazell helps Pirates bring losing streak to an end SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Jeremy Hazell led a long-range Seton Hall barrage with 28 points and the Pirates stunned No. 9 Syracuse 90-68 on Tuesday night, the Orange's third straight loss. ASSOCIATED PRESS Syracuse (18-3, 5-3 Big East) had lost two straight to top 10 conference foes, on the road at Pittsburgh a week ago and on Saturday at home to Villanova before a crowd of 33,736. In both games the Orange fell behind early — Pittsburgh scored the first 19 points of the game and Villanova hit eight 3-pointers in the first half. That trend continued against Seton Hall (9-12, 3-6), which had lost three straight. The Pirates torched Syracuse's zone defense for seven 3s in the first half, four by Hazell, and built a 13-point halftime lead. Seton Hall finished 10 of 17 from beyond the arc and shot 54.1 per - - - - - cent for the game while holding Syracuse to 5 of 21 from long range and a season-low 36.1 percent from the field. Jordan Theodore had 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting for the Pirates. Fuquan Edwin had 13 points, Jeff Robinson 12 and Herb Pope 10. Kris Joseph led Syracuse with 17 points. Rick Jackson had 12 points and 11 rebounds, his 14th double-double of the season. Scoop Jardine and Brandon Triche each had 11 points. Atter their first meeting 17 days ago, a sloppy 61-56 Syracuse victory, Orange coach Jim Boeheim winced at the stat sheet. The Pirates missed all 17 3-point attempts in the first half. It was a much different story on Tuesday, and Boeheim was wincing again. Seton Hall hit its first three from beyond the arc, two by Hazell, and led 26-15 on Theodore's 3 from the right wing with 12:07 left. And they weren't through. In the final 6 minutes of the half, Seton Hall slowed the pace to a crawl and the strategy paid big dividends. Hazell drained two 3s from the wing, the second at the shot clock buzzer, and Theodore followed with another — all three in a span of less than 2 minutes — to put the Pirates up 37-23 with 3:49 left. The Pirates extended the lead to 50-30 on Hazell's steal and layup early in the second half as Syracuse missed its first six shots before Jardine finally hit a 3 from the wing at 15:31, the Orange's second in 11 tries from beyond the arc. In its first two losses, Syracuse rallied both times, scoring 17 straight points against Pitt and pulling within four points of Villanova in the closing minutes after trailing by as many as 14. There was no rally against Seton Hall, which never allowed the Orange to get closer than 17 in the second half as the Orange faithful began leaving early, a rarity in the Carrier Dome. No.1 OSU shoots past No.12 Purdue ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE BASKETBALL COLUMBUS, Ohio If this was a big test, then No.1 Ohio State aced it. William Buford had 19 points, Jared Sullinger added 17 and No. 1 Ohio State played almost flawlessly in rolling past No. 12 Purdue 87-64 on Tuesday night. Jon Diebler had 13 points and a career-high eight rebounds, Deshaun Thomas added 13 points, David Lighty scored 10 points and Aaron Craft had 11 points and six assists for Ohio State (21-0, 8-0 Big Ten), which ran its record to 62-4 all-time when atop the poll. Ohio State, which shot 55 percent from the field and hit 11 of 19 3-pointers, used an 11-0 first-half run to take control and never let up. The Buckeyes and No.4 San Diego State (20-0) are the only unbeaten teams remaining in Division I. JaJuan Johnson had 22 points for Purdue (17-4,6-2). The victory puts the Buckeyes up by two games in the Big Ten. After several close calls in conference play, they had yet to really blow out a team. They chose a high-profile game against a quality opponent to do just that. Ahead by 20 points at halftime after shooting 57 percent from the field and making 6 of 9 3-pointers, they kept it up even as Purdue turned up the pressure in the second half. Late in the shot clock, with the Boilermakers scrambling to get back in the game, the 6-foot-9 Sullinger even tossed in a 3 to the delight of a near-capacity crowd of 17,556.

Edited by Sarah Gregory COMMENTARY New fund offers Robinson support BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com DR TIM RWYER I could tell you that I know how to solve Thomas Robinson's problem of how to find care for his little sister while sustaining his college basketball career, but then I would be lying. I have no idea. Who does? How could anyone know what Thomas Robinson is going through? All of a sudden, at 19 years old, Robinson has to find a way to raise his 9-year-old sister Jayla, be it by himself or with the help of whatever friends and family he has left. "We're not saying what's best for her," coach Bill Self said, admitting that they don't know what will happen with Jayla. "We don't know what's best for her. All I know is I want Thomas to be comfortable with what's best for her. Thomas is all she knows." As you likely well know — if you're reading, you've probably been a part of it — there's been a remarkable outpouring of support from Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Texas and Colorado fans, and support from everyone who has crossed paths with Robinson's tragic story. But the support has, thus far at least, been limited to words and thoughts, while there are plenty who might wish to do more. Now, there is the Lisa Robinson Scholarship Fund, which the NCAA has allowed Thomas to set up in the name of his little sister. So he appealed to the NCAA to be allowed financial aid, and he was allowed to start the Fahmarr McElrathbey trust fund, which still helps support Fahmarr, who is now 17. The case of Ray Ray McElrathbey, a former Clemson running back, established the precedent. McElrathbey took custody of his 11-year-old brother Fahmarr from his oft-incarcerated father and drug-addicted mother. As an NCAA athlete, he didn't have any financial means to support his brother, and didn't have the spare time to work a job to help with costs. But McElrathbey knew that the environment he could provide would be better than the one his parents could. Following precedent, the NCAA has allowed financial aid from outside the typical means of support (family, scholarships) if the money is given in the form of donations to a trust fund established in Robinson's younger sister's name. Whether Robinson chooses to raise his sister himself or not, the fund is a logical course of action. Fans who wish to help are now able to contribute more than kind words and thoughts and prayers, too, for the religious among you. Now that the day has finally come, keep your hearts open. 一 Edited by Amanda Sorell --- THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 2011 VOLUME 123 ISSUE 81 WWW.KANSAN.COM THE GREAT DIVIDE Two men wanted to play sports at Kansas in the 1950s... THE OTHER NEVER GOT THE CHANCE ONE BECAME AN INSTANT LEGEND – Wilt Chamberlain Photo courtesy of SPENCER NESEARCH LIBRARY GEONARD MONROE – Leonard Monroe Photo by Travis Young, KMSAM [Editor's Note: This is part two of a two-part series about black athletes at the University] BY JAYSON JENKS editor@kansan.com With the band playing and the hum of people surrounding him inside Allen Fieldhouse, Leonard Monroe started looking for someone. Kansas and Kansas State were playing that January day in 1998, and there was a buzz inside the old building. But for once, it didn't have much to do with the game. For the first time in 23 years, Wilt Chamberlain returned to Lawrence to watch his jersey hang high in the rafters next to the other greats. Everyone in the crowd wanted to see the legendary KU basketball player in person, perhaps for the last time. Monroe wasn't any different. He asked an usher standing in one of the aisles to point out the aging Chamberlain. Moments later, they started talking. They were once distant acquaintances, occasionally hanging out in the same places while they lived in Lawrence in the 1950s. Now, they were young again. "Remember when you were back here in school, and we were running around, going to the Golden Arrow?" Monroe said to Chamberlain that day. The Golden Arrow, a black nightclub in north Lawrence, separated and connected the two men. For Monroe and other African-Americans, it was one of the few places they could go for late-night entertainment. For Chamberlain, it was just another stop in a well-traveled life. Yet when Monroe mentioned the Golden Arrow that day in 1998, Chamberlain laughed. He remembered. The two men then parted ways. Later that day, Chamberlain stood on the court in front of 16,300 adoring fans. Everyone cheered. Monroe looked down from the stands.

If signed into law, the bill would reduce a state university employee's final six paychecks of the 2011 fiscal year. The bill would require those dollars to be spent on campus deferred building and maintenance projects. The bill would also prevent some state employees from receiving wage increases. In a statement from the Board of Regents, Chairman Gary Sherrer deemed the committee's action unfair and unnecessary. "Removing dollars from the paychecks hard-working university employees depend upon, and then spending those dollars on building maintenance, doesn't result in any savings to the state." Sherrer said. "We call upon the legislature and the governor to reject this unnecessary and unfair proposal." Jack Martin, deputy director of university communications, said professors haven't received normal annual pay increases for the past two years, making it difficult to retain faculty. Martin said that Yang Zhang, former associate professor of computational medicine and bioinformatics, left the university in 2009 after receiving an offer from the University of Michigan. "It was a situation where we weren't able to match the offer and keep the professor here," Martin said. "Because of reduced resources, there is more competition for talented faculty and staff." The goal of the bill, written primarily by conservative Republicans, is to provide a financial cushion and to help balance the state budget. In the next fiscal year, Kansas faces a budget shortfall of $550 million. The proposed cut would save the state more than $16 million, but half of the money would be retained by the Board of Regents to be used for maintenance projects on college campuses. The bill must be approved by both the House and Senate before going to Gov. Sam Brownback. It is unclear when the bill will be debated, but the governor has asked that the cuts be on his desk by the end of the month if possible.

Affordable help available for students filing taxes FINANCE Students can find advice on the IRS and Kansas Revenue Department websites, or through campus events to help them file state and federal tax returns free of charge. Electronic filing options on the IRS and Kansas Revenue Department websites offer free BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE inightengale@kansan.com The promise of spring also brings the imminent deadline for filing income taxes. To maximize the benefits of returns, students have the opportunity to choose from online, campus or professional options that allow them to file their taxes for free. software for tax forms, while professional agencies such as H&R Block will file federal tax returns for free before Feb. 15. Last year, the University of Kansas' School of Law held income tax clinics in March and April that offered free tax advice for students on campus. "I have had more than one student come in where I've told them, 'You know how to do this yourself. I'll do your federal for free. You go home and do yours online on the state for free,' Singer said. Cass Singer, senior tax executive at H&R Block, 520 W.23rd St., encouraged students to take advantage of free filing services, such as those offered online and in professional agencies. Although federal returns with the 1040EZ forms are free to file with H&R Block, a $39 fee is charged for state returns. The online software simplifies filing by asking straightforward questions. Many students should be able to operate the programs with little to no difficulty, according to Singer. "I would never discourage somebody who was qualified that's in college from trying to prepare their own tax return if they are aware that there are times they need to ask questions," Singer said. Users who file electronically receive their tax returns much quicker, as soon as five to six days for state income taxes and eight to 15 days for federal returns.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, JANUARY 27. 2011 / NEWS 3A INTERNATIONAL Students reflect on impact of revolution in Tunisia Social media captures new revelations on country's conflict. BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com For one student, the current revolution in Tunisia hits close to home, literally. Fatma Ouaichouche's home is half-a-world away in Boumerdes, Algeria, west of the Republic of Tunisia. Her people have taken note of the situation and have begun protesting and organizing marches against a similarly oppressive government. "Tunisia gave a good lesson for the Arab governments and the Algerian government," Ouaichouche said. Until recently, the small, northern African country rarely made national headlines. But 29 days after Mohammed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old impoverished street vendor, doused himself in paint thinner and proceeded to light himself on fire in the central town of Sidi Bouzid, a revolution began and the country was thrust into the limelight. The ongoing revolution spurred by protests and street marches ultimately led to the collapse of the government of Tunisia and ended the 23-year-rule of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali'. On Jan. 14, Ben Ali' imposed a state of emergency, disbanded the government and fled to Saudi Arabia leaving Mohammed Ghannouchi, the prime minister, to assume the role of interim president. Ghannouchi recently stepped down as well. BOUAZIZI'S ACT OF PROTEST Prior to Dec. 17, Bouazizi had already endured a lifetime of degradation. But on that particular day, police confiscated Bouazizi's food cart and proceeded to physically humiliate him. After being refused a meeting with local officials, an angry Bouazizi set himself on fire outside of the local municipality building of the impoverished city where he lived. He died on Jan. 4 from his injuries sustained in the burning. AN IMPENDING REVOLUTION Bouazizi's frustrations highlighted those of an entire country. Goran Sabah Ghafour, a first-year journalism graduate student from Kurdistan, Iraq, referred to the protests as an "emotional explosion." "People were already boiling because of what I call a 'fake secular regime'," Ghafour said. "When people saw the vendor, it was enough to explode." Ghafour said that based on his experiences in Iraq, when a country is "down" and there is no government, the politicians and the people face the most difficult moment because nobody knows what to do. Protestors run away from tear gas during clashes in Tunisia, Jan. 26. The clashes broke out in front of the prime minister's office as the government prepared to announce adjustments to its lineup. Hundreds of protesters are pressuring the interim government to get rid of allies of ousted President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Ouiachouce said she felt it was predictable. "This was a time that they said that's enough and we need change," Ouaichouche said. "The American government, I feel like they have protected the individual freedoms, but none of that is going on over there." Ghafour said people were angry because "money, prosperity, life and everything" was for the family of Ben Ali' and his followers, not the people. Tunisia's large, educated middleclass of doctors and lawyers have witnessed unemployment rates rise from 13.3 percent in 2009 to 14 percent in 2010 with no end in sight. Many students and recent college graduates, unable to find jobs, initiated the protests. "If there were job opportunities, he wouldn't have been working as a vendor," Ghafour said. SPRING BREAK JAMAICA I ASSOCIATED PRESS HOW MUCH DID THE US KNOW? The United States' knowledge of the concentration of power only became public after US Embassy cables were published on Dec. 7 by Wikileaks, the organization that discloses secret information. Thirty-three members of Ben Ali's family were arrested and charged with "crimes against Tunisia." A cable summary from June 23, 2008 signed by Robert Godec, the US Ambassador to Tunisia, states that "according to Transparency International's annual survey and Embassy contacts' observations, corruption in Tunisia is getting worse. Whether it's cash, services, land, property, or yes, even your yacht, President Ben Ali's family is rumored to covet it and reportedly gets what it wants." The summary cable concluded "with those at the top believed to be the worst offenders, and likely to remain in power, there are no checks in the system." Once you go, you know. - JAMFEST - Live Concertes - VIP Parties - Beautiful Beaches - Cliff Jumping - Spectacular Sunsets THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA Waves of protests followed Dec. 17 and word of what happened in Sidi Bouzid spread fast via the internet and social networks. Social media outlets, such as Twitter, mobile phones and videos allowed news of the protest to reach every corner of Tunisia and inspired the title "Twitter Revolution." JAM FEST A Facebook page titled "Mohammed Bouazizi the Tunisian HERO" was created on Jan. 14, the same day Ben Ali' fled the country and the government collapsed. Barney Warf, professor of geography, researches the geography of internet censorship and said social media practices about texting and Twitter are "democratizing gems that open up news outside the control of the state." The Tunisian government was well known for their repressive practices and censorship of the internet but social media enabled the people to organize and publicize their struggle. Warf cautioned that social media only serve as a platform and that "you can't say technology does something and the revolution follows." "We really have to see social change and technological change as shaping one another". Warf said. The internet's role in this revolution encouraged comparisons to the Iranian protests of 2009, dubbed the original "Twitter Revolution." During the protest, social networking sites became the primary source worldwide for information and testimonials because of strict Iranian government censorship. IMPLICATIONS FOR SURROUNDING COUNTRIES The role of social media in the protests led Gordon Brown, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, to say in a June 2009 article in The Guardian that "foreign policy can never be the same again and it's all because of the internet." The leaders of neighboring Arabic nations, Libya in particular, have said that they are worried about the impact of the Tunisian government collapse. Ouaichouch sees this as a fight to ensure the "rule of the people" or democracy, which she sees as the "catalyst change for globalization." Sharon O'Brian, political science professor, said she thinks there will potentially be major implications for countries such as Ouaichouche's home of Algeria. "Globalization means you are going to open prison for us, for youngsters, for me and for these several countries," Ouaichouche said. "When I go back to Algeria, I feel like I am going back in time. KU students, we don't have the individual freedoms that you do." months will be full of "drawbacks and shortcomings." Following Tunisia and Algeria's lead, Egyptians are organizing an anti-government revolution and have created a Facebook protest event page. The page currently has more than 90,000 confirmed guests attending the Jan. 25 protest. According to Illume Magazine, the protest is against corruption, torture, poverty and unemployment. "It's too early in terms of what and who's next," Gharfour said. "Will he or she be better than Ali'i or worse, that is the question." FUTURE OF TUNISIA While the future of Tunisia remains unknown, only time will tell whether the outcome of the revolution will in fact benefit Tunisians. Ghafour said that he thinks it came too soon and without enough planning. Both Ghafour and Ouaichouche stress that regardless of students' seperation from the fighting, "If you don't have a good replacement, another bad one could come," Gharfour said. Opposition to the interim government forced Ghannouchi to step down over the weekend as interim president. Tunisia will proceed with free elections in six months. Americans need to take notice.

During his lifetime, Chopin's tendency to drift off while at the piano was interpreted by his partner George Sand as "the manifestation of a genius full of sentiment and expression." But in a LIBERTY MALL accessibility info (785) 749-1972 644 Mass. 749-1912 FAIR GAME (PG13) 4:30 7:00 9:25 BLACK SWAN (R) 4:40 7:10 9:35 students=$6.00 ! new analysis published this week. Spanish doctors say Chopin's hallucinations may have been due to a temporal lobe epilepsy rather than the result of any sweeping artistic tendencies. Manuel Vazquez Caruncho and Francisco Branas Fernandez of the Complexo Hospitalario Xeral-Calde in Spain analyzed descriptions of Chopin's hallucinations from those close to him. They propose the French-Polish composer suffered from a type of epilepsy that produces conscious hallucinations that last from seconds to minutes. The research was published in the journal Medical Humanities, a specialist publication of the BMJ. Caruncho and Fernandez cite an extract from Sand's memoir, where she recalls returning to the home she shared with Chopin, along with her son, after a long journey delayed by flooding. The composer had been playing one of his preludes and told Sand he was lulled to sleep while at the piano and saw himself drowned at the bottom of a lake. Hallucinations are typically seen in patients with severe psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Other romantic composers such as Robert Schumann, who was committed to an asylum, experienced auditory and visual hallucinations which some believed were the product of his musical genius. Caruncho and Fernandez say Chopin's hallucinations occurred mostly in the evening or coincided with fever, unlike those linked to psychotic disorders. Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence!

Even after tragedy, guns still have no place at KU EDITORIAL In the aftermath of the Jan. 8 Tucson shooting that left six dead and several more injured, the issue of gun control has resurged as a prominent topic of national debate. Yet still, across the country, legislators are pushing for less restrictive gun laws that would allow individuals to carry concealed firearms in public areas, including college campuses. In Kansas, Republican Rep. Forrest Knox of Altoona has been pushing a bill to legalize concealed firearms in public spaces, causing an argument that has sparked controversy and outcry across the state. If this bill is passed in 2011, students at the University of Kansas who are properly licensed will be legally allowed to carry concealed firearms on campus and in campus buildings. Though Knox and other supporters of this bill justify it with rhetoric based on the Second Amendment, allowing such a widespread presence of guns will serve to further threaten students' safety rather than improve it. Some, including Knox, have even argued that the 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech, in which 32 students were killed, could have been stopped sooner if other students on campus had been carrying guns. He believes that signs prohibiting weapons do not go far enough in protecting the safety of students. But this claim ignores the simple fact that more weapons will only result in more violence. The proposition to allow concealed weapons on college campuses is rooted in concerns about student safety,but violent crimes at the University do not occur often enough to justify it. According to the KU Public Safety Office, the vast majority of crimes on campus are nonviolent in nature, and annual crime occurrences have actually decreased by 34 percent during the last 10 years because of increased police patrols and improved camera surveillance. With very few instances of firearm use, or even violence for that matter, arming students would do little to improve the relatively safe environment in which they already reside. In fact, a 2009 research study by the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that during violent assaults, victims who were carrying a firearm were 4.5 times more likely to be shot by the assailant than victims who were unarmed. The presence of guns in such situations does little to protect students from crime, and only increases their chances of experiencing violence and physical harm. Students at the University of Kansas should protect themselves and others by limiting the presence of firearms on campus, and instead allow public servants who are trained to use such weapons to ensure their safety during classes. Enough innocent people have been hurt and killed when guns were used by individuals; having everyone carry a gun will only make violence more widespread and make KU and its students less safe.

As you may or may not have heard. Ophiuchus - some crazy star serpent - done messed up the whole zodiac calendar. Let me explain for those of you who are confused out there. There was a big star party, and everyone was chilling and relaxing on this massive couch at Aquarius' (c'mon, who throws a better party?). This party has been poppin' for centuries. Then out of nowhere - without so much as an event invitation from Spacebook - Ophiuchus shows up acting like he knows everybody, trying to sit on Gemini's lap like he knows him, acting all cuter than he is. So, he slides on in between Scorpio and Sagittarius, and everyone's like, "Whaaaat? Who is this snake? Who the HALE is this snake?" So, everyone had to squirm around on the couch, and the whole shift almost knocked Capricorn off. But they made it work. The shift was reported on around Jan. 15. Some news sources suggested that some people's zodiac signs had changed – and those who were once one sign could now be another. It was a dark day for everyone as they simultaneously Googled their new sign and asked themselves if that was who they really were. Many spent the entire day staring furiously in the mirror and crying. Some began to scrape their now useless zodiac sign tattoos off with their fingernails. It was mass panic. Even I panicked. I've always been a skeptic when it comes to the specificity of most religions (why is it so damn important that Mary was a virgin?), but I'd always worn my Aquarius sign 15 BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL ccarmichael@kansan.com with pride. After all, I've always wanted to be a writer, and Aquarius is the epitome of creativity (he's like Matt Damon from Good Will Hunting - he spends all day getting water at the well, but he's got ideas...creative ones!) I Googled and Googled until I got the answer I wanted to hear. The zodiac signs remain the same for those born before 2009 (which is right around the time Ophichus showed up and was all like, "heeeey!"). The earth has slowly been tilting, and as a result we've actually begun orbiting past Ophiuchus for a month of the year. If that C+ I got in Astronomy Lab is indicative of anything, it's that you can kind of trust me when I say that astronomers actually use the zodiac signs as a reference point for other stars and constellations throughout the year. So, they're the ones to blame for this zodiac scare – the four-eyed eggheads! Chance Carmichael is a junior in creative writing from Mulvane. But at least it was only a scare!

I make predictions; what the President will say, how many standing ovations there will be, who will sit where. Amy I even shout at the TV in excitement and tear up if it doesn't go my way. You can laugh now Tuesday's State of the Union was no disappointment. The night started with shock regarding the new seating arrangement. Traditionally, Republicans sit on one side of the aisle and Democrats on the other. BY MEGAN ADAMS madams@kansan.com You can laugh now. CNN turned into a high school cafeteria of sorts, as pundits gossiped about who would pair up with whom for the big night. In an attempt to boost the appearance of bipartisanship and unity, Democrats paired up with Republicans for seating. Unity was the name of the game this year. The president used the word "together" seven times within just the first section of the speech. Too bad words in a speech don't always translate into action. The theme of unity persisted, as First Lady Michelle Obama sat next to families affected by the recent Tucson shooting. These seats are typically reserved for significant citizens that represent some theme the president is pushing for in his speech. Many important and divisive issues, such as the debt ceiling, the repeal of health care and gun reform, are on the congressional agenda. It's highly The fact that the Republican Party couldn't unite and choose only one member to give the response speech proves congressional unity is a long way off. However, both Republicans and Democrats can agree the president's speech contained few, if any, surprises. As expected, the President focused most of his time on the economy. Confirming rumors, he announced a five-year freeze of all discretionary spending. This symbolic gesture falls short of what needs to be done to relieve our debt situation. unlikely that the president's dream of bibartisanship will become reality. It'll be interesting to see if the president follows through on his promise to veto all legislation containing earmarks, a comment that particularly excited Sen. John McCain of Arizona. There were also some glaring holes in the speech's content. The president said nothing about gun control, an issue everyone is talking about after the More importantly, President Obama neglected to directly address the middle class. Not only does the middle class make up the bulk of our country, but it is also widely agreed upon that assuring jobs and financial security to this class is essential for our overall economy. More time ought to have been spent on small businesses, paying for college and how to fix the broken Social Security system, as well. Overall, President Obama's second State of the Union was a success, but not a historic one. He adequately addressed the center and ran through a laundry list of pressing issues. Moreover, very few of the topics he addressed were partisan. What he lacked in emotion, Speaker John Boehner more than made up for.

But Monroe still grew up in a racially-divided community at a time when the racial unrest of the 1920s and 1930s had started to cool, but before the Civil Rights movement firmly took hold. The University had opened its doors to African-American athletes in the late 1890s, but those doors quickly shut and the school kept black athletes out shortly after the turn of Monroe grew up at a time when the opportunities for an African-American living in one place differed for an African-American somewhere else.

Philadelphia sportswriters called him "Wilt the Stilt." He despised it. He always thought it made him sound freakish. And if there's one thing people agree u1 on when it comes to Wilt Chamberlain, it's this: He always wanted to be more than people thought. --- Leonard Monroe played basketball on the Promoters in high school, but he lived for track. That was the sport he cared about, the one he invested most of his time and energy in each year. In 1950, when Lawrence High's basketball team integrated during his senior year, Monroe had the cartilage knocked loose in his knee playing football. He couldn't jump or cut the same as before. I He still made the basketball team as one of the school's first black basketball players, but he quit shortly after and joined an intramural team to rehab his knee. He wanted to be ready when track season began. Monroe ran the quarter mile in 48.9 seconds, the second fastest time in the state. The fastest runner, Frank Cindrich, took his talents to the University of Kansas — a school with one of the nation's best track teams. That's where Monroe wanted to go, too. Y During his senior year in high KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 2011 / NEWS 7A school, his three track coaches fed him different advice. They said he should look at Emporia State or Washburn or Kansas State. He didn't know why they told him that — he still doesn't know with any certainty — but he didn't listen. He even had scholarship offers from Maryland State, North Carolina A&T and Arkansas Pine Bluff. None of them interested him. He was set on Kansas. He enrolled as a freshman in 1950, and when track season finally rolled around that spring, Monroe headed to Memorial Stadium. He wanted to talk with KU track and field coach Bill Easton about joining the team. Now, finally, here was the payoff for all those years of hard work. His dream was just a few words away. --world writer Bill Mayer said, "Wilt, if you go into some place and they kick you out, you let me know and we'll close the god damn thing down." It was late one night in 1955, sometime close to midnight, but Wilt Chamberlain didn't care. This couldn't wait. He drove straight to "Phog" Allen's home from Kansas City. When he got there, he pounded on his coach's door, intent on letting Allen hear about his night. The drive did little to cool him off. When Allen answered, Chamberlain immediately started in. He told him about the restaurant in Kansas City, the one that refused to serve him unless he ate in the kitchen after he drove more than 1,100 miles from Philadelphia. He told Allen he wouldn't put up with something like this if he was going to play at Kansas. Not a chance. Calmly, Allen listened and had someone bring his talented freshman hamburgers to Allen's home, a tactful gesture as much as one of kindness. The burger joint, the Greasy Spoon, was also segregated. "He knew that if I found that out, I'd probably say, 'Fuck Kansas,' and head back to Philadelphia before the first day of classes," Chamberlain wrote in his 1973 autobiography, "Wil: Just Like The city Chamberlain visited in high school was quite different from the one Monroe grew up in. "This had never happened to him before," Chamberlain's sister, Barbara Lewis, said. "Never. And it's certainly not going to happen when you're considered the greatest high school basketball player coming out. People are going to bend backward to accommodate you." Almost immediately, Allen's son, Mitt, an attorney with a reputation for being a bulldog, met with local business leaders. He delivered a simple message, one he also shared with Chamberlain. Any Other 7-foot Black Millionaire Who Lives Next Door." Chamberlain visited the University twice when he was in high school and never experienced a hint of racism on either trip. Not once. But the campus is separate from the town around it. It's isolated, an island of sorts, and a player can be shielded from such things if a recruiting trip is properly handled. "Milt told him in no uncertain terms" former Lawrence Journal who arrived two years before Chamberlain in 1953, used to leave his white teammates when they boarded a bus hours before home games. He was told to go rest at home; his white teammates went somewhere else. Only later did he learn that his teammates headed to the Eldridge for a pregame nap. The Eldridge didn't accommodate blacks. Behind the scenes. Chancellor Franklin Murphy started making similar moves, if only with more subtle approaches. Then Chamberlain arrived, and King could go almost anywhere, especially when accompanied by the 7-footer. He started eating at restaurants he previously hadn't heard of. The limitations in Lawrence started to vanish. Murphy, who became chancellor in 1951 after years of racial unrest at the University, met with local movie theater owners and told them if they didn't eliminate the Crow's Nest seating policy, hed show movies on campus. "When Wilt Chamberlain came to that campus, a lot of that foolishness stopped." King told The University Daily Kansan in 2006. "He was able to do stuff like that," said Bill Tuttle, professor emeritus of American studies at the University. "And he did it overnight." But the changes came slowly to those African-Americans not named Chamberlain. If Chamberlain was the source, then those closest to him started to see the benefits while the everyday man still had a ways to wait before desegregation came full circle. "When Wilt Chamberlain came to that campus, a lot of that foolishness stopped." It all happened so quickly that spring day in 1951. Monroe approached Bill Easton, the KU track and field coach, about the possibility of joining his team. Easton didn't consider it. Still, it was a start. "Before long, things just began to tumble and crumble," Mayer said. "Wilt was a mover in the integration of the community. Now, it wasn't all gone when he was gone, though." Maurice King, a talented guard "No way you'll run for me," Monroe remembers Easton saying. And then Monroe headed home, devastated. He told his parents he was dropping out of college and joining the Air Force. That was that. MAURICE KING Teammate Monroe doesn't know what happened that day. Was it his ability, his skin color or something entirely different that kept him off the track team? There's "Forty years after I couldn't get a job or go to KU ... my son was the No.1 pick to play baseball..." "That was one of the biggest heartaches I've ever had in my life." Monroe said.

I got back to cheering for them and everything. It's just so strange that it's so different." When he read about Chamberlain or watched him play, something happened. The animosity he felt toward the University — for the athletic chance he never got — slowly dissolved. Wilt Chamberlain was playing for Kansas, and he was the best basketball player in the country. He couldn't find a decent job out of the Air Force, but he kept looking in Lawrence from 1955-58 — the same three years Chamberlain played basketball for Kansas. "I kept up with him the whole time," Monroe said. "It wouldn't do no good to hold a grudge like When Wilt Chamberlain rolled into Lawrence, everyone took notice.

An institution may pay transportation, housing and meal expenses for a student-athlete's spouse, children and teammates to be present in situations in which a family member or legal guardian of the student-athlete suffers a life-threatening injury or illness on, in the event of a family member's or legal guardian's death, to provide the student-athlete's spouse, children and teammates with such expenses in conjunction with funeral arrangements. (Adopted: 1/10/95 effective 8/19/95, Revised: 11/1/01 effective 8/1/02, 4/25/02 effective 8/1/02, 5/22/07, 4/13/09). By NCAA rules, Kansas Athletics would not normally be able to pay for travel because it would be considered an impermissible benefit. The NCAA is also allowing Kansas Athletics to pay for funeral arrangements. The amount of money being spent is not known at this time. Theresa Becker, associate athletics director of compliance, said the athletics department needed to request relief through the waiver process. The waiver process allows universities with extenuated circumstances to submit a request to the NCAA that allows the university to work around the bylaws. "The NCAA staff has been extremely understanding, extremely supportive, very compassionate and very sympathetic to this whole situation," Becker said. "They've really been wonderful to work with and extremely supportive." According to the release, the NCAA is allowing Robinson's sister Jayla to travel with her brother back to Lawrence at the expense of the University. A series of waivers were granted. ROBINSON (CONTINUED FROM 1A) were able to find a number of findings called case precedent, where similar situations have happened and the NCAA has granted relief. In conjunction with bylaw 16.6.1.3.1, found in the NCAA's Division I Manual: "We're thankful, at this point, for the many people that are interested in helping in some way, are able to do that through contributing to the family fund," Becker said. Normally the requests are submitted in written form and the NCAA will discuss the issue with the institution and offer its guidance. Every step of the way needs to be documented, but in cases like this one, the NCAA granted immediate relief and Kansas Athletics will follow up with the documentation. "When you have an urgent emergency situation like this, the staff is very gracious." Becker said. "They will grant telephone decisions and that's how we've dealt with this particular case." Becker said that the compliance staff was working over the weekend researching to see if there was a valid argument. Becker said they One presedent is because of a case concerning former Clemson runningback RayRay McErlathbey, who was able to set up a fund for his 11-year-old brother. Similarly there is a fund that has been set up for Robinson's 9-year-old sister Jlaya. Becker said the NCAA has not only been supportive, but prompt with its decision-making. Becker said the compliance staff got on the phone first thing Monday morning to talk with the NCAA and to file a waiver. She said they would have been on the phone sooner, but the NCAA offices were closed. Becker said Kansas Athletics could have set up the fund for Jayla, based on the relief the NCAA granted, but chose not to because the "NCAA is allowing boosters, athletic representatives, alumni, contributors, donors, fans and friends of the University can make a contribution to the Lisa Robinson Fund without violating NCAA rules." WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Edited by Brittany Nelson Kansas lacks focus for fourth straight loss "You can't miss free throws and turn the ball over and expect to win on the road or at home," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. BY HANNAH WISE "Twenty-one turnovers. That's just beating yourself," Henrickson said. hwise@kansan.com Even after taking away the turnovers by both teams the score would have been 37-45, a slightly more even game with an eight-point deficit for the Jayhawks. The game was a low scoring one finishing 52-66, but many of the Missouri points were scored because of the lack of Jayhawk team focus. The Jayhawks turned over the ball 21 times compared to the 15 Missouri turnovers. The Tigers held Aisha Sutherland and Davis to three offensive rebounds. The lack of rebounds eliminated scoring opportunities for the entire team. The Jayhawks needed to capitalize on scoring opportunities to break a three-game losing streak. However, the team did not put forth the effort needed to make free throws and avoid turnovers. Carolyn Davis made eight free throw attempts, but only completed three, well below her usual level of 72.3 percent. "We have got to focus and concentrate, and we are talking about kids who normally make free throws," coach Henrickson said. The Jayhawks ended the night at 7-16 from the line. Free throws are one aspect of basketball that coaches always emphasize because it is the same every time. The low percentage translates to a lack of focus from the players. Angel Goodrich ended the night 1-4 shooting free throws. She has a season average of 44.4 percent when she steps up to the line. During post-game interviews Goodrich could not find an answer to why she struggled so much behind the line. She explained that she practices free throws every day, but that she might not have been focused enough tonight. "They were all great rebounders, they found us early and they made contact. That's what kept us off the boards," Davis said. It stands out when guard Monica Engleman has more total rebounds than either forwards. Missouri grabbed 11 more rebounds than Kansas, providing the Tigers with 11 second-round scoring opportunities. The Jayhawks lacked communication and focus for the majority of the game. The lack of communication was a contributing factor to the large number of turnovers. The team played a Missouri team that was focused and had plans to work hard to bring home a win. The Jayhawks have room to improve their free throws and decrease their turnovers. Edited by Erin Wilbert 1ST MONTH FREE! some conditions may apply AVAILABLE NOW!

Utah — Jimmer Fredette scored 43 points and ninth-ranked BYU beat No. 4 San Diego State 71-58 before a frenzied crowd Wednesday night, handing the Aztecs their first defeat of the season. ASSOCIATED PRESS The loss by SDSU (20-1, 5-1 Mountain West Conference) leaves No.1 Ohio State as the only unbeaten team in the nation at 21-0. BYU (20-1, 6-0) has won 10 straight, and six in a row at home against San Diego State. The Cougars trailed 31-30 at halftime thanks to a late 3-pointer by San Diego State's Kawhi Leonard. The biggest regular-season basketball game in Mountain West history didn't disappoint. The first matchup of top-10 teams in the conference was tight from the start, with 15 lead changes and seven ties. But BYU, now alone atop the Mountain West, turned it on in the second half. With the score tied at 44, the Cougars went on a 16-8 run to take a 60-52 lead with 4:12 to go. Leonard's jumper pulled San Diego State to 60-54 with 3:45 remaining. Noah Hartsock capped the run with a layup. Fredette also hit a pair of 3-pointers, reserve James Anderson had several key blocks and BYU's career steals leader, Jackson Emery, came up with a key theft and jam. Fredette, a leading contender for national player of the year, took over. He made seven straight free throws to give BYU a 67-54 lead. Leonard finished with 22 points to lead the Aztecs. The game was big enough that at least two dozen NBA scouts descended on Provo. A sign also proclaimed Fredette "The Real King James" — a reference to NBA star LeBron James. He didn't disappoint, though San Diego State made him work for every point.

Price announced Tuesday the addition to the coaching staff of assistant coach Jay Uhlman.Uhliam, formerly an assistant coach for the Oregon Ducks, will serve as recruiting coordinator and hitting coach, among other coaching duties. While at Oregon, Uhlman saw the Ducks advance to the regional finals, improve their batting average by 65 points, double their run total and nearly double their extra-base hits. Oregon goes into 2011 ranked No.9 in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper poll. Oregon coach George Horton commented on Uhlman in a press release.

It was clocked at 154 miles per hour. Sportales.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who is the only Jayhawk to have started in every game this season for men's basketball? A: Tyrel Reed MEN'S BASKETBALL Reed in running for student-athlete award Senior guard Tyrel Reed is one of the 10 finalists for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award for men's basketball. The award is given to student-athletes classified as NCAA Division I se T. J. Reed niors with notable achievements in the four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. Fans can vote on the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award website. Fans' votes will be combined with media and coaches' votes to determine the winner. Reed, from Burlington, graduated Charles owes All-Pro pick to offense MORNING BREW The Associated Press announced its NFL All-Pro team on Monday, which included the Kansas City Chiefs Jamaal Charles as one of the two running backs, alongside Houston's Arian Foster. Although being named to the All-Pro team can easily be viewed as an individual achievement for Charles, on a deeper level, it is a credit to Kansas City's whole organization. 1 First of all, Charles is the first Chief to be named All-Pro by the AP since Jared Allen and Tony Gonzalez in 2007. That was the first year of the Chiefs' dreadful three-season run of fewer than five wins per year. Having a player recognized by the AP as one of the best in the NFL is an obvious sign that the team is improving. But Charles' selection is not only about himself; it is also a credit to the improvement of the offensive line, which has transformed from being a much maligned weakness into one of the strongholds of the team. The Chiefs were the NFL's top rushing team by nearly 10 yards per game this season. As gifted as Charles is individually, without a strong offensive line and a respectable passing game, an elite running back is useless. One of the reasons Larry Johnson flamed out in Kansas City was because pressured the line of scrimmage when they played the Chiefs. Teams knew that the passing game, headed by the BY GEOFFERY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com likes of Damon Huard and Tyler Thigpen, was not a threat. The Chiefs' offensive line, decimated by the retirement of Willie Roaf and Will Shields and the release of Casey Wiegmann, could not hold off opposing defenses. There was nothing Johnson could do to overcome his team's deficiencies. From the beginning of this season however, the Chiefs dominated the ground game, an important necessity that enabled the passing game, opened the playbook and ate clock. By quickly establishing Jamaal Charles and his sidekick, Thomas Jones, early in the game, the Chiefs allowed themselves to chew up clock during long drives that potentially yielded points. In doing so, the offense kept the defense off the field, and their opponent off the scoreboard. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. THE MORNING BREW As evidenced by the Chiefs' late-game meltdown against Houston, Indianapolis, and twice against Oakland, the defense could not always be counted on to make big stops or quell an opponent's momentum. But having a momentum shifter on offense in Charles was a key tool for the Chiefs' fourth-quarter success. It was Charles' 80-yard run against the St. Louis Rams that killed the momentum the Rams were building in the fourth quarter. Although Charles did not score on that run, he put the Chiefs in position to, which they did shortly after, securing the victory. The Chiefs won only 10 games the previous three years combined. Sustained drives and key plays by the offense, such as Charles' scamper against the Rams, were a big reason why the Chiefs won 10 games this season. Edited by Dave Boyd FOOTBALL Lose one recruit gain another Three-star cornerback Kenneth Lynn has decommitted from Kansas and will sign his letter of intent to play football for Iowa State next fall, scout.com's Greg Ohlson reported Tuesday. The Dallas native originally committed to the Cyclones before switching to Kansas last month following a trip to Lawrence. Lynn told scout.com his final decision would not change. Lynn's main recruiter from Kansas was former coach Darrell Wyatt, who left Kansas in December with a degree in pre-therapy and exercise science after just three-and-a-half years of study. He has been accepted into the physical therapy program at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Meanwhile coach Turner Gill landed another offensive weapon on Wednesday.

Missouri Guard RaeShara Brown highlighted the run with a three-point shot that brought the Missouri fans to their feet and shot down any hope Kansas had for a comeback. BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@ku.edu KANSAS 23 The Jayhawks started out the night fast. Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis scored a quick layup early in the game. Senior forward Aisha Sutherland then hit two shots, one from each elbow, giving the Jayhawks an early six to three lead. The Jayhawks had a 22 to 14 lead with 9:43 left in the first half, but it didnt last long. Missouri roared back and tied the game up at 25 after Brown was fouled hard by Kansas's Monica Engelman. Brown made the bucket and the ensuing free throw. Missouri ended the first half with a 30 to 27 lead on a 14-5 run. Kansas struggled during the first half of the game, but after a quick timeout by coach Bonnie Kansas struggled from the free-throw line all night, making just seven of its 16 attempts. Davis especially struggled, dropping just three of her eight attempts from the charity stripe. The Jayhawks also gave up the ball 21 times on turnovers, and managed to take the ball away from the Tigers just 14 times. "We have struggled all year and I don't know why. I couldn't do much in college, but I could make a free throw. That might have been it for me, but I could make one. We have to focus and concentrate," Henrickson said. "They are all great rebounders and they found us early and made contact and that is what kept us off the boards," Davis said. Despite having Sutherland, the top rebounder in the Big 12, the Jayhawks were outbounded 41 to 30. Sutherland managed to grab just five boards off the glass. "I think we just weren't patient as a team. We didn't communicate, "It doesn't matter who we play in this league, you have to be able to fight." Henrickson they pulled it together and chipped away at Missouri's lead. Kansas tied up the game at 41 with 12:34 left in the game after Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich hit a three-point shot. BONNIE HENRICKSON Coach Missouri and Kansas traded buckets before RaeShara Brown and BreAnna Brock made back-to-back jumpers to spark Missouri's 15-0 run. "Well (getting the ball to Davis) has always been the message. Then the lane gets more crowded. Ten people living in a one-bedroom apartment--that is what it looks like in there." Henrickson said. PAGE 12A we didn't attack the ball like we should've and we just turned it over on ourselves," Goodrich said. With the loss, Kansas dropped to 14-6 on the season, and 1-5 Jerry Wang/KANSAN in Big 12 play. They extended then losing streak to four games. "We've not won the toughness battle. We've not come out, not been competing at a higher level than who we play. It doesn't matter who we play in this league, you have to be able to fight. There are nights when you have to be able to make a run and you have to be able to answer runs, and we have allowed people to make big runs on us and not answered. That is a toughness, gut check, teamwork thing," Henrickson said. —Edited by Jacque Weber Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich fires off a three-pointer during the last minutes of the second half. Goodrich was one of two Jayhawks in the double figures with 10 points and dished out a team-high six assists. MEN'S BASKETBALL Selby's talent paves the road to team's success During his first 11 games, Selby had his ups and downs. The way he plays the remainder of the season will be key for Kansas. BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Freshman guard Josh Selby is the key. Ask an expert — any really, from SI to ESPN to CBS to The University Daily Kansan and on — about who is most essential to Kansas' success, and you'll likely get that answer. Selby is the key. So while it's nice for Kansas that Brady Morningstar scored in double figures for the first time in just under a calendar year, and it's good that Marcus Morris is arguably the best player in the Big 12, and it's a little frustrating Self has spelled out Selby's essentialnesssto the Kansas offense a number of times. Kansas has a bushel of talented guards. Tyshawn 5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio "It's huge for him," Morningstar said. "Of course, in the first half he came out hot, and that's what we needed. He hasn't been like that for a while, and it's good for him to get his stuff rolling." "It's good to see Josh be aggressive. Josh hasn't been aggressive at all." that Tyrel Reed couldn't buy a shot Tuesday at Colorado, that all goes by the wayside in looking at the box score. The eyes fix on Selby's stat line, which, after so many games of struggling from the field, saw a whiplash-inducing reversal of the trend. Selby hit 7-of-14 shots (3-of-6 from three) for 17 points to go along with four rebounds and BILL SELF Coach Taylor's better than most in the country at getting into the lane and kicking to an open shooter on the wing. Reed and, now. Morningstar are the benefactors of Taylor's skills. Both are also spot shooters and steady caretakers of the ball. Elijah Johnson is somewhere in between those three. He's a sniper from outside with the help offeed and Morningstar and possesses Taylor's athleticism. But no one on the roster, not even Morris, has Selby's talent for taking a broken play and turning it into points. The scouting report Because he can mix his shots so drastically, Selby becomes the toughest matchup on the Kansas roster, but only when he's on, which has recently been rare. Which is why Tuesday—apart from bouncing back from a loss, picking up a half-game on Texas and winning without the grieving Thomas Robinson—was huge for Selby. on Selby is that he can catch-and-shoot, score off the dribble, post on a guard and can shoot from well outsidethe three-point line. That's why at practice Monday, Self told Selby to stop thinking so much and just be aggressive. It's not something coaches tell a lot of freshmen — there's an inherent risk of turnovers and sloppy play included with that — but not many freshmen have Selby's talent. "It's good to see Josh be aggressive," Self said. "Josh hasn't been aggressive at all." And Selby's responding well. "I was playing not to make mistakes," Selby said. "Now since I had that conversation with coach, everything's fine." TAYLOR 11 KANSAS 32 Edited by Erin Wilbert Howard Ting/KANSAN copy cutline here COMMENTARY Reed on fire as the game heats up AARON BRUNKENBERG BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bshuster@kansan.com Is it too soon to label Tyrel Reed "Big Game Reed" or "La Flama Blanca"? It seems very hard to argue against it. The senior guard has been putting up stellar numbers as of late, and he's doing so against increasingly tougher opponents. Looking at his last eight games, Reed's average playing time was 31.5 minutes per game. During the year he has averaged 28 minutes, the highest average on the team. During his last four games Reed had 58 points and 18 rebounds (14.5-4.5 per game). In the four games previous to those, Reed had 27 points and 14 rebounds (6.75-3.5 per game). The strange part is that Reed had statistically worse games against Miami (OH), UMKC, Michigan, and Iowa State, than playing against Nebraska, Baylor, Texas, and Colorado. It appears that the tougher the opponent, the more likely Tyrel Reed is to put up bigger numbers. No offense to UMKC, Michigan, and Miami (OH), but these teams aren't of the caliber that the Big XII teams are. With regards to Michigan, who put up a hell of a fight, none of the aforementioned schools would succeed in the Big XII, which makes the case for Reed all that more interesting. At the end of a close game, it seems like Reed is one to come up in the clutch, as further evidenced by his two free throws against Colorado on Tuesday to put KU up by four, and the game out of reach for the Buffaloes. In the loss to Texas, Reed put up some of his best numbers of the season. His 34 minutes tied his second highest total this season. His 17 points and 6 rebounds also tied his second highest totals of the season. It's becoming increasingly evident that when the going gets tough, Tyrel Reed goes going. Reed also has the highest free throw percentage on the team at 85.4% (35-41), which if he stays at this pace would be his highest career average, second to the 83.3% that Reed shot from the line last year. It isn't just his stats that make Tyrel Reed a threat; Reed has the intangibles that make him a more than noteworthy weapon on the KU offense. Reed is never one to quit on a play, and always hustles back hard to play defense; he can shoot the three from just about anywhere on offense, and always seems to get the last second pass for a wide-open shot. On a team full of talented leaders, as most Bill Self coached teams are, Tyrel Reed is as poised a leader as they come. When the game is on the line I can't think of one person on the roster I would substitute for Reed. His stats don't lie. If it's crunch time, look out for "La Flama Blanca" to ignite.

KUJH Thomas and Jayla gain support of thousands throughout Jayhawk nation BY ANDY MARSO editor@kansan.com WASHINGTON, D.C. Thomas Robinson got out of a black limousine and immediately went to comfort his seven-year-old sister Jayla, who was waiting outside Antioch Baptist Church Thursday morning. Jayla's hair was done up in meticulous braids with blue beads at the tips. She clung to her brother's waist and scrunched down against the fur lining of her parka's collar. It was the third funeral in less than a month for Robinson, a sophomore forward on the University of Kansas men's basketball team. Robinson's grandmother died in late December and his grandfather died less than three weeks later. Then, last Friday, the most shocking blow — his mother, Lisa Robinson, died from an apparent heart attack at age 43. By the end of the day Robinson's pain would bring together the people from this neighborhood on the east side of Washington, D.C., and the entire Kansas men's basketball team. Together, in a modest red-brick church, they remembered Lisa Robinson and sought to comfort Thomas, Jayla and their brother Jamah. Robinson's family and friends arrived throughout the morning, driving through half-plowed streets after a storm dumped several inches of snow on the District the night before. Javorn Farrell played with Robinson at Riverdale Baptist High School in Maryland. Now a sophomore guard at the University of Massachusetts, he had a game Wednesday at St. Bonaventure University, but caught the first flight out of Buffalo, N. Y., Thursday morning to attend the funeral. "When I got the news, I was heartbroken," Farrell said. "Thomas is like a brother to me."

CELEBRATION BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com History brought alive for Kansas Day After nearly a decade of fighting and debates regarding slavery, Kansas had become known as "Bleeding Kansas." The year was 1861 and a tumultuous year it was. At the height of those battles and in the midst of the uncertainty that faced the nation, President James Buchanan signed the bill admitting Kansas, a free state, as the 34th state in the Union. Kansas Day on Jan. 29 will mark the sesquicentennial, Kansas' 150th birthday, as well as the 134th observed celebration of Kansas' statehood. Events and activities statewide will help commemorate the day. "Kansas Day is a good opportunity to raise awareness of our state and make people proud to be a Kansan," said Mary Madden, the director of education and outreach for the Kansas State Historical Society and lecturer in the Museum Studies program at the University of Kansas.

Goodrich was one of two Jayhawks in the double figures with 10 points and dished out a team-high six assists. Selby's talent paves the road to team's success MEN'S BASKETBALL During his first 11 games, Selby had his ups and downs. The way he plays the remainder of the season will be key for Kansas. BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Freshman guard Josh Selby is the key. Ask an expert — any really, from SI to ESPN to CBS to The University Daily Kansan and on — about who is most essential to Kansas' success, and you'll likely get that answer. Selby is the key. Brady Morningstar scored in double figures for the first time in just under a calendar year, and it's good that Marcus Morris is arguably the best player in the Big 12, and it's a little frustrating So while it's nice for Kansas that "it's huge for him," Morningstar said. "Of course, in the first half he came out hot, and that's what we needed. He hasn't been like that for a while, and it's good for him to get his stuff rolling." "It's good to see Josh be aggressive. Josh hasn't been aggresive at all." Self has spelled out Selby's essentialnessto the Kansas offense a number of times. Kansas has a bushel of talented guards. Tyshawn 5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. that Tyrel Reed couldn't buy a shot Tuesday at Colorado, that all goes by the wayside in looking at the box score. The eyes fix on Selby's stat line, which, after so many games of struggling from the field, saw a whiplash-inducing reversal of the trend. Selby hit 7-of-14 shots (3-of-6 from three) for 17 points to go along with four rebounds and a BILL SELF Coach Taylor's better than most in the country at getting into the lane and kicking to an open shooter on the wing. Reed and, now, Morningstar are the benefactors of Taylor's skills. Both are also spot shooters and steady caretakers of the ball. Elijah Johnson is somewhere in between those three. He's a sniper from outside with the help ofReed and Morningstar and possesses Taylor's athleticism. But no one on the roster, not even Morris, has Selby's talent for taking a broken play and turning it into points. The scouting report Because he can mix his shots so drastically, Selby becomes the toughest matchup on the Kansas roster, but only when he's on, which has recently been rare. Which is why Tuesday—apart from bouncing back from a loss, picking up a half-game on Texas and winning without the grieving Thomas Robinson—was huge for Selby. on Selby is that he can catch-and- shoot, score off the dribble, post on a guard and can shoot from well outidethe three-point line. "It's good to see Josh be aggressive," Self said. "Josh hasn't been aggressive at all." That's why at practice Monday, Self told Selby to stop thinking so much and just be aggressive. It's not something coaches tell a lot of freshmen — there's an inherent risk of turnovers and sloppy play included with that — but not many freshmen have Selby's talent. And Selby's responding well. "I was playing not to make mistakes," Selby said. "Now since I had that conversation with coach, everything's fine." AYLOR 11 NANS 32 Edited by Erin Wilbert Howard Ting/KANSAN copy cutline here more likely Tyrel Reed is to put up bigger numbers. In the loss to Texas, Reed put up some of his best numbers of the season. His 34 minutes tied his second highest total this season. His 17 points and 6 rebounds also tied his second highest totals of the season. No offense to UMKC, Michigan, and Miami (OH), but these teams aren't of the caliber that the Big XII teams are. With regards to Michigan, who put up a hell of a fight, none of the aforementioned schools would succeed in the Big XII, which makes the case for Reed all that more interesting. At the end of a close game, it seems like Reed is one to come up in the clutch, as further evidenced by his two free throws against Colorado on Tuesday to put KU up by four, and the game out of reach for the Buffaloes. Reed also has the highest free throw percentage on the team at 85.4% (35-41), which if he stays at this pace would be his highest career average, second to the 83.3% that Reed shot from the line last year. It's becoming increasingly evident that when the going gets tough, Tyrel Reed gets going. Reed is never one to quit on a play, and always hustles back hard to play defense; he can shoot the three from just about anywhere on offense, and always seems to get the last second pass for a wide-open shot. it isn't just his stat that make Tyrel Reed a threat; Reed has the intangibles that make him a more than noteworthy weapon on the KU offense. On a team full of talented leaders, as most Bill Self coached teams are, Tyrel Reed is as poised a leader as they come. When the game is on the line I can't think of one person on the roster I would substitute for Reed. His stats don't lie. If it's crunch time, look out for "La Flama Blanca" to ignite.

My temporary home in Brooklyn was so quiet and quaint. I felt like one of the grown ups, with a daily routine of commuting to the city and being in bed by 11 p.m. But in Lawrence, no such structure exists, and I have my 10 roommates to thank for that. As I walked into my house last Sunday, I found oranges and a crumpled tablecloth in the doorway. New Year's Eve decorations were on the kitchen table. The bathroom was out of toilet paper and a light was burned out. Coming home to a house in such disarray may bother others, but I'm pretty laidback. I'd rather focus on how great my roommates are than nitpick the little things that bother me. One day a bat-sized moth crawled under my closed bedroom door. I have a moth phobia, a paralyzing fear I have struggled with since childhood. I screamed and ran out of the room. When I returned hours later, I assumed the ugly, flying creature was gone. I took a nap and started my homework, only to discover the moth in my book bin when I reached for a book. I informed my fearless roommate and she swiftly removed the thing from my presence. All I had to do was offer her a bribe of a vanilla ice cream cone and problem solved. Not all problems can be solved with bribes. Some of my roommates tend to drag me into what we call "a black hole of fun." They pull me into conversations about celebrity gossip and the homework I'm supposed to be doing doesn't get started until hours later. My solution is to keep my bedroom door closed and to pretend not to hear them when they call my name. This may come across as rude, but I think we're still friends. Luckily, my roommates and I haven't run into a lot of problems. The sink is never full of dishes and the noise control is usually under control. But if your roommate's behavior really gets on your nervous, learn how to address the problem by checking out Jacque's story on page 8. Someone's alarm may go off at 2 a.m. when she's not home and her door's locked. The house may get destroyed every weekend. But as long as my roommates have my back when a moth is lurking around my room, I don't mind a little noise or mess every now and then.

Michelle MacBain is his co-host. > Tackle the sticky world of relationships Q. My boyfriend of 18 months says that we should move into a place together so that we can save money and not have to worry about new roommates. Should I move in with him? // MIKE ANDERSON brisco A. It is a bit of a tough call not knowing the situation a little better, but living together is not just a big step, it is a huge step. I know you think you probably know him by now but 18 months isn't that long. A whole lot of small conflicts can sprout up when you live with someone, and if your relationship is not at a level where it can take those struggles then it might suffer. My worry is that living with your boyfriend will produce more negatives than positives. What are the benefits? Maybe you get to pay less in rent, but you can always get a roommate. So what if you don't know your roommate? He/she will be a lot easier to split from than a boyfriend. 01 4 27 11 The life of a college student is stressful enough as it is; you don't need the stress of living with an ex-boyfriend that you can't get rid of because you signed a year lease. If he threatens to leave you because you won't live with him, then I say let him leave. Enjoy the college experience. If you are dead set on living with him then please get the shortest lease you can find. Some might say that the experience of trying to live together might make you a better person and allow you to have a better understanding of what you want in a partner, but you are young. You will be able to figure that stuff out in less painful ways. PASCAL S. BLANCO "Well (getting the ball to Davis) has always been the message. Then the lane gets more crowded. Ten people living in a one-bedroom apartment-that is what it looks like in there," Henrickson said. A. Here's a story. A 25-year-old, Kim, met a man, Matt. They fell in love and decided to move in together after two years. Financially, the move benefited both, and they were basically living together anyway. Three years pass and Kim and Matt decide to breakup. Both thought the split would be easy - it's not like they were married. However, this breakup was not only a separation of individuals, it was a separation of things. Kim and Matt fought over everything they bought together for their "home": a new TV, sofa, dishes, shower curtain, even Christmas decorations. But splitting up the two cats, their "babies" that they adopted while they were in love, was the most painful for the ex-couple. This breakup felt like a divorce. Do not move in with your significant other until there is a lifelong commitment made to each other! I'm not saying you have to be engaged or married, but you must have an understanding that the person with whom you sign that lease, buy those new household items, or share anything close to babies, will be with you for the rest of your life. Can you be 100% sure of this lifelong commitment after only 18 months? You are young and your life will change considerably in your twenties!

BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Freshman guard Josh Selby is the key. Ask an expert — any really, from SI to ESPN to CBS to The University Daily Kansan and on — about who is most essential to Kansas' success, and you'll likely get that answer. Selby is the key. So while it's nice for Kansas that Brady Morningstar scored in double figures for the first time in just under a calendar year, and it's good that Marcus Morris is arguably the best player in the Big 12, and it's a little frustrating that Tyrel Reed couldn't buy a shot Tuesday at Colorado, that all goes by the wayside in looking at the box score. Self has spelled out Selby's essentialnesssto the Kansas offense a number of times. Kansas has a bushel of talented guards. Tyshawn 5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. "it's huge for him," Morningstar said. "Of course, in the first half he came out hot, and that's what we needed. He hasn't been like that for a while, and it's good for him to get his stuff rolling." "It's good to see Josh be aggressive. Josh hasn't been aggresive at all." The eyes fix on Selby's stat line, which, after so many games of struggling from the field, saw a whiplash-inducing reversal of the trend. Selby hit 7-of-14 shots (3-of-6 from three) at 17 points to go along with four rebounds and a BILL SELF Coach Taylor's better than most in the country at getting into the lane and kicking to an open shooter on the wing. Reed and, now, Morningstar are the benefactors of Taylor's skills. Both are also spot shooters and steady caretakers of the ball. Elijah Johnson is somewhere in between those three. He's a sniper from outside with the help of Reed and Morningstar and possesses Taylor's athleticism. But no one on the roster, not even Morris, has Selby's talent for taking a broken play and turning it into points. The scouting report Because he can mix his shots so drastically, Selby becomes the toughest matchup on the Kansas roster, but only when he's on, which has recently been rare. Which is why Tuesday—apart from bouncing back from a loss, picking up a half-game on Texas and winning without the grieving Thomas Robinson—was huge for Selby. That's why at practice Monday, Self told Selby to stop thinking so much and just be aggressive. It's not something coaches tell a lot of freshmen — there's an inherent risk of turnovers and sloppy play included with that — but not many freshmen have Selby's talent. on Selby is that he can catch-and-shoot, score off the dribble, post on a guard and can shoot from well outside the three-point line. "It's good to see Josh be aggressive," Self said. "Josh hasn't been aggressive at all." And Selby's responding well. "I was playing not to make mistakes," Selby said. "Now since I had that conversation with coach, everything's fine." Edited by Erin Wilbert TAYLOR 11 KANSAS 32 Howard Ting/KANSAN copy cutline here more likely Tyler Need is to put up bigger numbers. No offense to UMKC, Michigan and Miami (OH), but these teams aren't of the caliber that the Big XII teams are. With regards to Michigan, who put up a hell of a fight, none of the aforementioned schools would succeed in the Big XII, which makes the case for Reed all that more interesting. At the end of a close game, it seems like Reed is one to come up in the clutch, as further evidenced by his two free throws against Colorado on Tuesday to put KU up by four, and the game out of reach for the Buffaloes. It isn't just his stats that make Tyrel Reed a threat; Reed has the intangibles that make him a more than noteworthy weapon on the KU offense. It's becoming increasingly evident that when the going gets tough, Tyrel Reed gets going. In the loss to Texas, Reed put up some of his best numbers of the season. His 34 minutes tied his second highest total this season. His 17 points and 6 rebounds also tied his second highest totals of the season. Reed is never one to quit on a play, and always hustles back hard to play defense; he can shoot the three from just about anywhere on offense, and always seems to get the last second pass for a wide-open shot. Reed also has the highest free throw percentage on the team at 85.4% (35-41), which if he stays at this pace would be his highest career average, second to the 83.3% that Reed shot from the line last year. On a team full of talented leaders, as most Bill Self coached teams are, Tyrel Reed is as poised a leader as they come. When the game is on the line I can't think of one person on the roster I would substitute for Ree. His stats don't lie. If it's crunch time, look out for "La Flama Blanca" to ignite.

Celebrities have answers. TOMMY WATSON Katie Euliss is a musician in the band Truckstop Honeymoon, which she fronts with her husband, Mike West. The bluegrass duo established a home base in New Orleans, but Hurricane Katrina flooded their home in the Lower 9th Ward and forced them to move. Whenever they're not touring, Lawrence is home. The band will be performing in Colorado, Oklahoma and Manhattan, Kan., through February and will be back in Lawrence in time for the Mardi Gras Parade, a tradition that they started. Katie smoke with Javplay about "hillbilly-soul," touring the world and real-life inspirations. Truckstop Honeymoon — that's quite a name. Is there a story behind it? Oh yes, there is a story. Mike and I got married in Louisiana on Valentine's Day at the city court and then we went to a gig that night, unceremoniously. On our way back from the gig we were too tired and we stopped at the Tiger Truck Stop, where there were real, live tigers, pacing in cages, and slept for a few hours parked in our car. That was our honeymoon night. It was very romantic. How would you describe your music? It's a really eclectic mix. It's kind of a bluegrass- y, country, and hillbilly kind of combination. Like hillbilly-soul, how about that? I like that. So how did you get into this type of music? I used to be a busker on the streets of New Orleans. Mike is from England and he was in bands over there. Then he got into country music more when he immigrated to the States. Then we got together and it was a really good combination of backgrounds. You guys have toured all over the world, traveling throughout the United States, Europe and Australia. What has been the most memorable place? There are memorable places everywhere we go. We have been to some amazing places. I think the south island of New Zealand was the most beautiful place that we've been. But we've had some funny times, you know, strange, sleepless times playing on boats, on ferries crossing waters in different places. We've played at some festivals in other countries that blow our minds What motivates you to go to such far-away places? even, New Zealand, I always wanted to go there, since I was a kid. With the nature of our work, the magic of it is I can just go, "OK, who are the people that we know who are musicians that have ever been there." There's work for musicians almost everywhere. You just start digging around and suddenly we have a whole bunch of gigs down there we can do. You make friends and fans, and then you've got this great network of people everywhere you go. And Australia, what an awesome place full of amazing musicians. The counterculture is thriving; it's so good. What do you think of the college atmosphere here? It seems to be a good diverse scene and it seems very supportive of music and arts, which makes me very happy. As far as that goes, we're raising our kids here, so for them to walk downtown and to be surrounded by things that have been created and sort of catered to a very artistic, intellectual community is a really good thing. I like that there are like 84 coffee shops and five ice cream parliors and plenty of bookstores. And record stores, we've got plenty of those, too. How do you juggle family life with making music and touring? You don't sleep much. The kids go with us everywhere. They definitely are our main priority and we do everything as a family. When we tour, they're right there with us. Their well being is always first on our list. We just go from there. It's been a great adventure so far. We're having a good time with it. We have four kids and they go to a school in town when we're in town. Who are your musical influences? We love our old country stuff. I love, and Mike does too, really old R&B stuff. We're kind of all over the map with what we like. When somebody is just playing from the soul, usually their stuff is pretty appealing. We're not big fans of new country or top 40 crap or anything like that. We like old jazz, and there are definitely some golden eras of good music. We have some good disco records. What inspires you to write songs? I think your songs are so original and funny; I get a kick out Contributed Photo Family Act: Musicians and married couple Katie Euliss and Mike West take their act on the road, or across the sea, as often as they can, and their kids are along for the ride. They find inspiration for their songs from real-life experiences that would normally go unnoticed. of them. Real life. You have to provide your own comic relief sometimes. Sometimes stuff just needs to be said. Sometimes stuff just needs to be made into a song. Otherwise, it goes by unnoticed or too ordinary or something. Or something may seem so outlandish or unbelievable but it's so common you don't realize how many other people have certain experiences in common. Then you put those experiences in a song and you build a bridge between people. It's fun. Our kids inspire us, the world around us and traveling. People and what they're going through are really inspiring. What can Jayplay readers expect from your most recent album Homemade Haircut? It's sort of full of love songs and it's sort of full of rebellious reflection. There's a lot of great music on that record. There's a really awesome local piano player named Harry Miller; he's a great musician. We've got some horns on there. It's a pretty soulful record for a hillbilly duo. It's pretty good. We've had nothing but great feedback on it, so I'm proud of it. What advice do you have for college kids in Lawrence who are in local bands? Don't stop playing. Being sober is really helpful. You can be a legend for a long time in your mind if you're intoxicated. But the sobering truth of where you're really at is an important thing to look at.I can definitely say with a sober life you get a lot more done,and your music and your writing changes and everything. // MOLLY MARTIN I to TRUNK san.com facing on rates an ever budget, Grayum and use the our journal that will new day Kansas," State of thursday litorium book of horizon, hallengate we sheing the and dates are association it these line in 'vance diversi need way." apped to ener environ easing would certain pre situ ment. 7 01 27 11 — MacArthur Wilder Lisa Robinson's cousin ASSOCIATED PRESS travel to Washington; D.C., to honor Robinson's mother.

It is helpful to come up with a personal list of what you are looking for in a potential roommate. This can help you avoid future conflicts and awkward roommate situations. Nick Barry thought living with four other guys would be great. He would be able to do whatever he wanted. It would be like a big party all the time. "Plus, I figured we didn't have to deal with any drama since it was just us guys," Barry, St. Louis, Mo., senior says. "I was wrong." Within the first six months of their lease, Barry's iPod was stolen by one of his roommates, another one of his roommates threw up on his bed during a party and someone who decided to swap the detergent with bleach ruined his clothes. "There was constant drama in our house," Barry says. "I put up with it until I walked in on one of my roommates having sex with some girl on my bed after I had asked everybody to stay out of my room." Later that day Barry packed up his stuff and moved in with another friend from school. Living with other people is a part of college life. Sometimes, it's a good experience. Other times, like in Barry's case, it's not so great. Learning how to handle roommates before you move in will help make your experience a good one. FOR STARTERS: THE LIST Nick Torres and his cousin, Jessie Torres, moved in with each other last July without making the list. They found out the hard way just how different they really were after they started living together." We had different ideas about everything," Nick Torres, Overland Park senior, says. "We didn't agree on cleaning the apartment, who could come over and how we would divide groceries." "The best way to decide whether or not you and a potential roommate will be a good fit is to make a list of what is important to you in a roommate and decide what your needs and desires are," says Kathie Nichols, a Lawrence child and family psychologist. Choosing a roommate is a big decision and it's important to choose carefully because you could be stuck with your decision for the next year. Just because you like somebody doesn't mean the person will make a good roommate. Nick says Jessie always invited his friends over and they would eat all of their food. "It pissed me off because they didn't help pay for groceries so all my money basically went to feed his friends." The list needs to be specific, Nichols says. If you only study between midnight and 2 a.m. because you work late, you need to write that down. If your potential roommate happens to be a big party, you might have problems with your schedules. If you want roommates who do their own dishes on a daily basis so the kitchen stays clean, you need to write that down. "Writing every little detail down may seem like you are overdoing it, but you can avoid a lot of problems up front if you take the time to do it," Nichols says. each make a list, you need to sit down and compare them. There is always room for compromise, but if you notice big differences in what each of you want, maybe living together isn't such a great idea. Jessie says that he and Nick make great cousins, but not great roommates. "I think we will get along much better after we don't live together anymore," Jessie, Wichita junior FRIEND OR FOE2 says. "We just have different ideas about how we should do things so we don't mesh well." When deciding to move out on your own, choosing to live with a close friend can seem like a great idea. However, living with a close friend can have its downfalls, too. Just ask Jessica Novak and her best friend, Chloe Sanders. After both you and your potential roommate When Novak and Sanders decided they were both attending KU after high school, they were thrilled. "We started apartment hunting right away," Novak, Kansas City senior, says. "We were so excited. We didn't think about anything except how fun it was going to be." That is until they actually moved into their two-bedroom apartment at Hawks Pointe. They both started to discover things about each other they didn't like in a roommate, "Well (getting the ball to Davis) has always been the message. Then the lane gets more crowded. Ten people living in a one-bedroom apartment-that is what it looks like in there," Henrickson said. 8 Missouri and Kansas traded buckets before RaeShara Brown and BreAnna Brock made back-toback jumpers to spark Missouri's 15-0 run. "We have been inseparable since grade school, so we figured we knew everything about each other. But we quickly realized that 1001000 let him we play in this league, you have to be able to fight. There are nights when you have to be able to make a run and you have to be able to answer runs, and we have allowed people to make big runs on us and not answered. That is a toughness, gut check, teamwork thing," Henrickson said. —Edited by Jacque Weber --- jerry Wang/KANSAN Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich fires off a three-pointer during the last minutes of the second half.

But no one on the roster, not even Morris, has Seiby's talent for taking a broken play and turning it into points. The scouting report Because he can mix his shots so drastically, Selby becomes the toughest matchup on the Kansas roster, but only when he's on, which has recently been rare. Which is why Tuesday—apart from bouncing back from a loss, picking up a half-game on Texas and winning without the grieving Thomas Robinson—was huge for Selby. on Selby is that he can catch-and-shoot, score off the dribble, post on a guard and can shoot from well outside the three-point line. That's why at practice Monday, Self told Selby to stop thinking so much and just be aggressive. It's not something coaches tell a lot of freshmen — there's an inherent risk of turnovers and sloppy play included with that — but not many freshmen have Selby's talent. "It's good to see Josh be aggressive," Self said. "Josh hasn't been aggressive at all." And Selby's responding well. "I was playing not to make mistakes," Selby said. "Now since I had that conversation with coach, everything's fine." Edited by Erin Wilbert TAYLOR 11 KANSAS 32 Howard Ting/KANSAN copy cutline here more likely Tyrel Reed is to put up bigger numbers. No offense to UMKC, Michigan, and Miami (OH), but these teams aren't of the caliber that the Big XII teams are. With regards to Michigan, who put up a hell of a fight, none of the aforementioned schools would succeed in the Big XII, which makes the case for Reed all that more interesting. At the end of a close game, it seems like Reed is one to come up in the clutch, as further evidenced by his two free throws against Colorado on Tuesday to put KU up by four, and the game out of reach for the Buffaloes. In the loss to Texas, Reed put up some of his best numbers of the season. His 34 minutes tied his second highest total this season. His 17 points and 6 rebounds also tied his second highest totals of the season. Reed also has the highest free throw percentage on the team at 85.4% (35-41), which if he stays at this pace would be his highest career average, second to the 83.3% that Reed shot from the line last year. It's becoming increasingly evident that when the going gets tough, Tyrel Reed goes going. It isn't just his stats that make Tyrel Reed a threat; Reed has the intangibles that make him a more than noteworthy weapon on the KU offense. Reed is never one to quit on a play, and always hustles back hard to play defense; he can shoot the three from just about anywhere on offense, and always seems to get the last second pass for a wide-open shot. On a team full of talented leaders, as most Bill Self coached teams are, Tyrel Reed is as poised a leader as they come. When the game is on the line I can't think of one person on the roster I would substitute for Reed. His stats don't lie. If it's crunch time, look out for "La Flama Blanca" to ignite. Edited by Brittany Nelson FEATURE ✩ wasn't the case," Sanders, Kansas City senior, says. Sanders says that she and Novak had different ways of cleaning and doing dishes that caused problems they hadn't expected. "I am very anal about rinsing out the dishes right after I use them so when it's time to do dishes the food isn't all caked on and gross," Sanders says. Novak would often forget to rinse her dishes out, leaving a mess for Sanders when she got home from school or work. "I didn't want to cause problems with our friendship so I would just keep my feelings about the dirtiness to myself," Sanders says. Sanders continued to let her feelings build up until she snapped at her best friend one day over leaving the living room light on. "I wasn't even mad about the light, but I had let so much stuff build up that I couldn't keep it in anymore," Sanders says. "I said a lot of things I didn't mean and it really hurt our relationship for awhile." After their lease was up, Sanders and Novak both agreed to live with other people. "We are still best friends today," Novak says. "We just didn't make great roommates." Tracy Ochester, a psychologist at Ochester Psychological Services in Leawood, Kan., says "It's often harder to communicate your feelings about something you're not happy with to a friend because you are afraid to hurt their feelings," Ochester says. TALK IT OUT Sanders and Novak's situation is common for college students. She says you need to take a practical look at your friends when deciding whether or not to live together. Once you have made your lists and decided that you and your roommate are a good fit, you need to talk about how everything is going to be done in your new home. If you don't, you're sure to have conflicts. Nichols, the Lawrence psychologist, says it's good to sit down with your future roommate before moving in and talk about your expectations and guidelines or rules for the house. Money issues need to be sorted out up front, says Nichols. She says that money can cause a lot of stress for students if each party isn't clear about the expectations. Ask: How do you plan on paying rent and bills? Are you going to have a steady income coming in? Who is going to be in charge of the bills? When will rent and bill money be due? Are we going to split groceries equally? How Photo Illustration | Travis Young Fighting words: When confronting a roommate, talk openly about your feelings without accusations. much money do we expect to spend each week on groceries? Are we going to split household items as well, like cleaning supplies and detergent? Next on the list: household duties. You need to decide who will clean what and how often. "If someone has a job that they hate doing, maybe you can compromise and switch jobs with them," Nichols says. "Then if you have a job that you aren't great at or hate doing they can take over that responsibility." In addition to the big issues, Ochester says it's important to discuss every little detail you can think of because those can often turn into big deals later. She says some of the things may seem odd to talk about, but chances are you will encounter the situation once you move in. Ask: Are we going to share shower supplies or each buy our own? Are we going to share toilet paper? Are we going to put our towels together in the bathroom? How often can my friends come over? How often can my boyfriend stay over? While it's good to be picky, Ochester says it's important to remain flexible and open to new ideas because you may be living with people who are different from you and have different backgrounds or ideas about how things should be done. Before Shannon Mills and Nicole Harris moved in together in August, they talked about everything they could think of. "Talking about everything before moving in together has worked out great for us and helped us avoid a lot of conflict," Mills, Wichita junior, says. Mills says that many of their other friends ended up in bad roommate situations because they didn't communicate well before they moved in together. DING, DING, DING. ROUND ONE Living with a roommate is a challenging experience and one that teaches you a lot about responsibility. It's important to learn to effectively handle roommate conflicts. The best way to solve a problem is to communicate often and assertively, which is saying something in a direct but nice way, says Ochester, the Kansas City psychologist. "You may think you are being nice to your roommate by not saying anything, but all you are doing is letting your resentment build up inside of you." Ochestor says that people often take their anger out on something unrelated to the issue, like slamming cabinet doors in the kitchen or giving dirty looks to their roommate, rather than confronting the real issue. "If your roommate doesn't know why you are mad, then the issue will never get resolved." Instead, Ochester says you need to start by finding a way to express your feelings to your roommate in behavioral terms, instead of making accusations about him or her. You should tell him or her exactly how you feel using "I" statements. "Using 'I' statements is helpful because it doesn't make people shut down and put up a wall," Ochester says. Name calling is always arguable, which won't help solve your problems. Avoid the words "never" and "always" (i.e. "You ALWAYS leave dirty dishes in the sink!) because people rarely always or never do anything, and that will shift the argument away from the actual issue to whether your roommate always or never does something. After letting your roommate know how you feel about the situation, you need to offer a solution that will suit you both. "Maybe they just are not the type of person who does their dishes right after they use them, so you can compromise by saying they need to be done before they go to bed instead," Ochester says. If you go through these steps and you still cannot resolve the issue, Ochester says it's time to put a consequence in place that fits the situation. Using the dishes example, Ochester recommends telling your roommate that you aren't going to wash his or her dishes anymore and that you would appreciate it if she didn't use your dishes since they aren't being cleaned. If a week goes by and the dishes aren't done, tell your roommate that you are going to put them in his or her room because you don't think you deserve to live with a filthy kitchen. If the extreme solution doesn't work, it may be time to consider new living arrangements. Ochester says that it might be easier to salvage the relationship once you are not living together. "If there is one thing I think people need to remember about having a roommate, it is that being nice is not the same thing as being genuine and real," Ochester says. Expressing your true feelings and being open to communication and change will help your living experience be a good one. L to TRUNK san.com facing on rates an ever budget.

JOHN PARKER On a sunny afternoon or after the bartenders start final call, you can be sure to find Tyler Gregory strumming his guitar or banjo and kicking his stomp box on one of the street corners on Massachusetts Street. Photo by Christopher Good. Gregory, a Wamego native, moved to Lawrence three years ago for the music. Now Gregory doesn't just share his music on the streets, he also has graced the stages of local venues such as The Jackpot and The Replay Lounge. He says he has been performing on the street since he was 16 and loves it because it's good practice and gets him a revolving audience. While Gregory does a lot of his performances solo, he also collaborates with other musicians depending on the show. He says lately he's been performing with an upright bass player, a mandolin player and another banjo player. another banjo player. This winter you won't find Gregory on the streets of Lawrence; he'll be too busy recording an album, but you can see him every Wednesday night at The Jazzhaus, 926 Stompbox Serenade: Tyler Gregory brings his slice of americana roots music to The Jazzhaus.

No offense to UMKC, Michigan, and Miami (OH), but these teams aren't of the caliber that the Big XII teams are. With regards to Michigan, who put up a hell of a fight, none of the aforementioned schools would succeed in the Big XII, which makes the case for Reed all that more interesting. At the end of a close game, it seems like Reed is one to come up in the clutch, as further evidenced by his two free throws against Colorado on Tuesday to put KU up by four, and the game out of reach for the Buffaloes. Reed also has the highest free throw percentage on the team at 85.4% (35-41), which if he stays at this pace would be his highest career average, second to the 83.3% that Reed shot from the line last year. In the loss to Texas, Reed put up some of his best numbers of the season. His 34 minutes tied his second highest total this season. His 17 points and 6 rebounds also tied his second highest totals of the season. It isn't just his stat that make Tyrel Reed a threat; Reed has the intangibles that make him a more than noteworthy weapon on the KU offense. It's becoming increasingly evident that when the going gets tough, Tyrel Reed gets going. Reed is never one to quit on a play, and always hustles back hard to play defense; he can shoot the three from just about anywhere on offense, and always seems to get the last second pass for a wide open shot. On a team full of talented leaders, as most Bill Self coached teams are, Tyrel Reed is as poised a leader as they come. When the game is on the line I can't think of one person on the roster I would substitute for Reed. His stats don't lie. If it's crunch time, look out for "La Flama Blanca" to ignite.

BARBEDRALE'S DINER // AMANDA SORELL If you have an unquenchable thirst for useless facts and figures and the desire to put your knowledge to the test, you're not alone. From Wheel of Fortune to Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, trivia is a widespread form of entertainment, pervading our television sets, computer screens, and day-to-day interactions with random trivia. It's this kind of knowledge that trivia nights around Lawrence thrive on, and there's no shortage of events like these in the area. So if you're ready to assemble a team and rack your brain for obscure nuggets of information, here are some places you can go to compete. BRAINVILLE TRIVIA Scott McDaniels, host of Brainville trivia, started hosting trivia in 1999 with Tom Conroy, who owns Conroy's Pub and still hosts trivia there on Wednesday nights. There were no trivia events in the area at the time, and when they first got together, McDaniels said they were simply looking for something fun to do. "We just thought we'd do it one time and we'd never do it again. We never thought for a second that 12 years later every week we'd still be running a game," McDaniels says. Brainville is set up in a laid-back pub quiz format, with teams of any size answering eight rounds of seven questions. Each round's topic varies from current events to the latest Hollywood gossip, and the winning team goes home with $25. But it's clear that most teams are there to enjoy the camaraderie, paired with some light competition, of course. "It's kind of a step up from just going out to just get wasted; you actually stop to be engaged," says Chelsea Chaffin, Lawrence graduate student. "It's funny, because I suck at trivia but I still really enjoy talking to my friends who are really good at it and every once in awhile trying to come up with an answer. > 8 p.m. every first and third Wednesday of the month at Johnny's Tavern West, 721 Wakarusa Drive > 8 p.m. every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at Johnny's Tavern North, 410 N 2nd St SMACKDOWN! TRIVIA The very name of this trivia event suggests intensity, and indeed, there's a very competitive vibe among the teams at this live trivia event. Smackdown host Andy Morton, who started the event in 2000, has seen the competition evolve from 4-5 teams to 18-20 teams of all ages stepping in to outsmart their opponents. Morton, who adds to the aggressive, interactive atmosphere with his share of jokes and jibes, says it's a win-win for everyone involved, despite the rowdy competition. "Bars like it because it's good for business; players like it because not only is it social but it also allows them to vomit up some of the useless facts that they have accumulated over the years," Morton says. Players' $5 cover contributes to the prize that the winners take home at the end of the night, and Morton says it's all good clean fun in the end. We always tell new teams to try it a few times before they give up," Morton says. "There's no shortage of trivia options in town. Shop around, you'll find one." > 8 p.m. every Sunday at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. LIVE TEAM TRIVIA This trivia event is one of several in the area sponsored by Challenge Entertainment, all of which are free to play and include rounds of 3 questions, each in 3 different categories. Players continue to eat, drink and socialize as the host, Dell Johnston, asks questions and plays upbeat music while teams brainstorm. Johnston, who's been hosting this event for a little over a year, says trivia is a valuable aspect of Lawrence nightlife. "It's a mental challenge. You can bring your friends, so things you might not be that knowledgeable about, your friends might be, and vice versa. It's good entertainment; it's engaging entertainment," Johnston says. Teams play for free and compete for a chance to win a $50, $20 or $10 gift certificates to Jefferson's. The bar is often full of veteran teams as well as newcomers like Joe Zlatnik, a Rossville graduate student, who came in to grab a bite to eat with his friends and ended up staying to test their trivia knowledge. Zlatnik says he isn't a trivia regular but could see himself becoming one. "If you got a group of people together and asked people to do it who had different areas of knowledge,it'd probably be pretty fun," Zlatnik says.

KUJH TV.News Thomas and Jayla gain support of thousands throughout Jayhawk nation BY ANDY MARSO editor@kansan.com WASHINGTON, D.C. — Thomas Robinson got out of a black limousine and immediately went to comfort his seven-year-old sister Jayla, who was waiting outside Antioch Baptist Church Thursday morning. Jayla's hair was done up in meticulous braids with blue beads at the tips. She clung to her brother's waist and scrunched down against the fur lining of her parka's collar. It was the third funeral in less than a month for Robinson, a sophomore forward on the University of Kansas men's basketball team. Robinson's grandmother died in late December and his grandfather died less than three weeks later. Then, last Friday, the most shocking blow—his mother, Lisa Robinson, died from an apparent heart attack at age 43. By the end of the day Robinson's pain would bring together the people from this neighborhood on the east side of Washington, D.C., and the entire Kansas men basketball team. Together, in a modest red-brick church, they remembered Lisa Robinson and sought to comfort Thomas, Jayla and their brother Jamah.

Edited by Brittany Nelson REVIEWS √ MOVIE REVIEW // THE GREEN HORNET > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between IT支持管理工具 If the movie-going public is suffering from superhero fatigue, blame it on films like the new Seth Rogen vehicle The Green Hornet. What could have been a vry send-up of comic book cinema quickly devolves into a series of limp visual gags, seemingly ad-libbed dialogue and unlikeable characters. The film's transgressions seem all the more grievous given the glut of talent involved, notably Superbad scribes Rogen and Evan Goldberg and director Michel Gondry, whose creative mojo has floundered since helming Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in 2004. The plot kicks in with the death of newspaper mogul James Reid (Tom Wilkinson), a tragedy that leaves his hard-partying son Britt (Rogen) charged with the task of running his media empire. At first the spoiled Britt, whose abject self-loathing and banal daddy issues make him seem like Tony Stark's bitchy little brother, has no intention of succeeding his old man. But that quickly changes when he befriends Kato (Jay Chou), his father's former manservant whose skills include a mastery of all martial arts and the ability to make Rogen clap his hands and giggle with stoned delight every time a new trick is revealed. After a drunken scheme to desecrate the elder Reid's grave results in the thwarting of a gang of muggers, the two are soon patrolling the streets of Los Angeles as masked vigilantes. The Hornet's adversary is an insecure crime lord, played with manic gusto by Christoph Waltz in a role that goes nowhere despite the Oscar winner's efforts to overcome the anemic material. The idea of a super-villain going through a midlife crisis is a hilarious concept, but it doesn't work here. The weakest actor in The Green Hornet is Cameron Diaz, who all but exhausts her slick as the Hornet's token cougar of a secretary. She's the personification of the movie itself: overexposed, underwritten and way too eager to please. // LANDON MCDONALD MUSIC REVIEW // SMITH WESTERNS - DYE IT BLONDE | 2011 (FAT POSSUM) > KJHK's weeklv guide to sonic consumption. Smith Westerns released their debut LP The Smith Westerns on HoZac Records back in June 2009, and despite the album's extreme (likely unlistenable to some) lo-fi recording quality, listeners latched onto the damaged guitar hooks and feel-good garage-pop aesthetic. The group maintains its unique take on pop with the latest offering Dye It Blonde, but the album is noticeably crisper and less drowned in chunky distortion. I fell in love with the blaring, compressed guitar tones on the debut LP, but simply attributed them to the method of recording. Dye It Blonde is cleaner but it still offers that charming dirt. Opener "Weekend" begins with a bubbly lead guitar lick that recalls '60s pop and '70s glam. The sound is in line with that of present-day dirty garage rockers Black Lips, but the Westerns come off as less destructively drunk and more concerned with the beautiful simplicity of youth and the young love that comes with it. The guitar tone on "Fallen In Love" is up one of the darker alleys of The Beatles' trademark sound (think Taxman) and "Helter Skelter"), and "Smile" resides in David Bowie's vein of glam-pop. Many of today's bands are undoubtedly SMITH WESTERNS DYE IT BLONDE recreating the vintage tones and styles of their chosen predecessors, particularly within the modern revival of garage and psychedelic rock. Smith Westerns may look far into the past for influences, but the subject matter on Dye It Blonde is that of timeless youth and bittersweet boy-girl tales. On "End of the Night," singer/guitarist Cullen Omori boils young desire down to a simple phrase: "Everybody wants to be a star on Saturday night." // ALEX TRETBAR ★★★☆ FORMALDEHYDE belongs in your Biology Lab.

Goodrich was one of two Jayhawks in the double figures with 10 points and dished out a team-high six assists. MEN'S BASKETBALL Selby's talent paves the road to team's success During his first 11 games, Selby had his ups and downs.The way he plays the remainder of the season will be key for Kansas. BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Freshman guard Josh Selby is the key. Ask an expert — any really, from SI to ESPN to CBS to The University Daily Kansan and on — about who is most essential to Kansa's success, and you'll likely get that answer. Selby is the key. Brady Morningstar scored in double figures for the first time in just under a calendar year, and it's good that Marcus Morris is arguably the best player in the Big 12, and it's a little frustrating So while it's nice for Kansas that "It's huge for him," Morningstar said. "Of course, in the first half he came out hot, and that's what we needed. He hasn't been like that for a while, and it's good for him to get his stuff rolling." 5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Self has spelled out Selby's essentialnesssto the Kansas offense a number of times. Kansas has a bushel of talented guards. Tyshawn that Tyrel Reed couldn't buy a shot Tuesday at Colorado, that all goes by the wayside in looking at the box score. “It's good to see Josh be aggressive. Josh hasn't been aggressive at all." BILL SELF Coach The eyes fix on Selby's stat line, which, after so many games of struggling from the field, saw a whiplash-inducing reversal of the trend. Selby hit 7-of-14 shots (3-of-6 from three) for 17 points to go along with four rebounds and a Taylor's better than most in the country at getting into the lane and kicking to an open shooter on the wing. Reed and, now, Morningstar are the benefactors of Taylor's skills. Both are also spot shooters and steady caretakers of the ball. Elijah Johnson is somewhere in between those three. He's a sniper from outside with the help of Reed and Morningstar and possesses Taylor's athleticism. But no one on the roster, not even Morris, has Selby's talent for taking a broken play and turning it into points. The scouting report Because he can mix his shots so drastically, Selby becomes the toughest matchup on the Kansas roster, but only when he's on, which has recently been rare. Which is why Tuesday—apart from bouncing back from a loss, picking up a half-game on Texas and winning without the grieving Thomas Robinson—was huge for Selby. on Selby is that he can catch-and-shoot, score off the dribble, post on a guard and can shoot from well outside the three-point line. That's why at practice Monday, Self told Selby to stop thinking so much and just be aggressive. It's not something coaches tell a lot of freshmen — there's an inherent risk of turnovers and sloppy play included with that — but not many freshmen have Selby's talent. "It's good to see Josh be aggressive," Self said. "Josh hasn't been aggressive at all." And Selby's responding well. "I was playing not to make mistakes," Selby said. "Now since I had that conversation with coach, everything's fine." Edited by Erin Wilbert YAHLOR 11 KANSAS 32 Howard Ting/KANSAN copy cutline here that he弱点 the opponent, the more likely Tyrel Reed is to put up bigger numbers. No offense to UMKC, Michigan, and Miami (OH), but these teams aren't of the caliber that the Big XII teams are. With regards to Michigan, who put up a hell of a fight, none of the aforementioned schools would succeed in the Big XII, which makes the case for Reed all that more interesting. At the end of a close game, it seems like Reed is one to come up in the clutch, as further evidenced by his two free throws against Colorado on Tuesday to put KU up by four, and the game out of reach for the Buffaloes. In the loss to Texas, Reed put up some of his best numbers of the season. His 34 minutes tied his second highest total this season. His 17 points and 6 rebounds also tied his second highest totals of the season. Reed also has the highest free throw percentage on the team at 85.4% (35-41), which if he stays at this pace would be his highest career average, second to the 83.3% that Reed shot from the line last year. It isn't just his stats that make Tyrel Reed a threat; Reed has the intangibles that make him a more than noteworthy weapon on the KU offense. It's becoming increasingly evident that when the going gets tough, Tyrel Reed gets going. Reed is never one to quit on a play, and always hustles back hard to play defense; he can shoot the three from just about anywhere on offense, and always seems to get the last second pass for a wide-open shot. On a team full of talented leaders, as most Bill Self coached teams are, Tyrel Reel is as poised a leader as they come. When the game is on the line I can't think of one person on the roster I would substitute for Reed. His stats don't lie. If it's crunch time, look out for "La Flame Blanca" to ignite. - Edited by Brittany Nelson THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 82 A SCHOOL OF 30,000 BROKEN HEARTS “You do have an extended family, and I believe the University of Kansas, for Thomas, is an extended family.” — MacArthur Wilder Lisa Robinson’s cousin ASSOCIATED PRESS LR Sophomore forward Thomas Robinson and his seven-year-old sister Jayla arrive at funeral services for their mother, Lisa Robinson, Thursday at Antioch Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.

While Gray-Little spoke of journeying to a new horizon, she listed a number of challenges the university must navigate before reaching its goals. "We will continue our journey toward a horizon that will herald the dawn of a new day for the University of Kansas," she said in her second State of the University speech Thursday to a filled Woodruff auditorium in the Kansas Union. The first challenge she addressed was improving the University's graduation and retention rates. Both rates are below the American Association of Universities Average. "I do not believe that these deficiencies reflect a decline in quality at KU, but the advancement of comparable universities," she said. "Change is needed and is already under way." Gray-Little said she hoped to make these changes by energizing the educational environment, recruiting, and increasing discovery. She said this would involve redirecting certain scholarship funds that were previously split among KU institutions to student recruitment "Scholarships are one of our SEE SPEECH ON PAGE 5A CELEBRATION amcnaughtonkansan.com History brought alive for Kansas Day BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The year was 1861 and a tumultuous year it was.

Authorities said Thursday they fear dozens of veterans could lie in unmarked graves at a Mississippi military cemetery after they found two unidentified coffins and used radar to detect other possible plots. The two coffins and other potential graves were found in sections of Vicksburg National Military Cemetery that were opened in the 1940s for World War I, World War II and Korean War veterans, National Park Service officials said at a news conference. The sprawling cemetery is the final resting place for more than 18,000 veterans, mostly Union soldiers from the Civil War. The problems were discovered after workers preparing a burial site for a World War II veteran found a coffin in August. Another coffin was found nearby. The veteran was buried elsewhere in the cemetery and the graves were left alone, authorities said. The cemetery stopped offering burials in 1961, except for veterans who had prior arrangements. There have been 109 burials since then. The park service asked for help from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which used ground-penetrating radar devices to search for graves. Those sites were then checked by pushing metal rods into the ground, which in several cases hit solid objects that could be coffins. The National Park Service's Southeast Archaeological Center has also been helping. Officials said a preliminary analysis of their research identified "eight probable and 48 possible unmarked graves." Vicksburg National Military Park Superintendent Michael Madell said officials haven't found any documentation to help identify the unmarked graves, despite searching cemetery records, archives and looking for lost documents. Madell said federal authorities are trying to respect the dead by using research methods that don't physically disturb the graves, like the radar devices.

Robinson family needs continued support from fans EDITORIAL Sophomore forward Thomas Robinson and his seven-year-old sister, Jayla, have been blindsided by a reality so heavy only a few hearts can fully grasp it. They have suffered the severity of three separate tragedies within the past three weeks. They lost their grandmother. Then their grandfather. And last Friday night, their 43-year-old mother, Lisa, died suddenly of a heart attack, rearranging life as Jayla and Thomas once knew it. The tragic tale swiftly stirred deep into the hearts of the Lawrence community, forcing all of us to stop, reconsider and recognize that there are much bigger things in life than basketball. Perhaps the tragedy even shifted our life perspective. Either way, one thing's for sure: This is about so much more than basketball. This story goes much deeper than a sophomore forward, whom we all know for goal-shaking dunks and a bright smile, losing three close family members. The tragedy, unfortunately, strikes hardest with a seven-year-old girl, who just lost mommy, grandma and grandpa. This is about a child whose whole world was ripped apart at its seams in less than a month. And for that, students, alumni and fans have found their true test of support: for Robinson and his sister. It's up to us to help make their unenviable task of putting life's most fragile pieces back together easier in any way we can. The only upside of tragedy is its weird way to clear people's vision and separate people's true colors. Being a supportive fan has been easy for Jayhawk basketball in the past. But this circumstance is our true challenge. We urge all of you to provide continued support for Thomas and Jayla and help ease their wounds as best as we can. It's up to us to help give them the support they need to get their feet back on solid ground. Every contribution, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated. Perhaps even forwarding this message to family members. Anything will help.

It is good to know my $12 was not a waste this winter break. My butt looks firm and great, and I don't even do yoga.

It's always been a heated and polarizing issue, certainly, but the influx of Republicans into varying positions of power assures that this constitutional right of women will once again be at the forefront. Kansas, of course, is no exception. Is abortion in itself a problem? No. Unwanted pregnancy is a problem. Criminalizing abortion would presumably not affect unwanted pregnancy—despite certain pro-life propaganda, not all women who choose to terminate a pregnancy are selfish, carefree individuals for whom abortion is a simple and painless decision. With the number of providers dwindling and institutions such as Planned Parenthood constantly fighting for funding, legal abortions become ever harder to obtain. (It's important to add that according to the Guttmacher Institute, neither do women necessarily suffer increased mental or health problems as a result of abortion.) The question over whether or not abortion should be legal is in reality a question over how safe we want women to be. Women, for any number BY ALI FREE afree@kansan.com The recent case of Kermit Gosnell makes this fact horribly clear. Gosnell was a Philadelphia doctor who performed illegal late-term abortions in a filth, unsafe clinic with untrained, unlicensed staff. He has been charged with, among other things, eight counts of murder. of reasons, will continue to make this decision and when there is a lack of responsible care, they will suffer. Women go to people like Gosnell when they are in a desperate situation and have nowhere else to turn. Criminalizing abortion or making it more difficult would only lead to even more cases like this. Women should not be placed in this situation in the first place. Abortion should remain an option for those in need, but structures should be set up so that fewer women will be in need. There is common ground, I think. between both sides of the debate. Both sides, for instance, desire fewer abortions. The thing to do, then, is reduce the amount of unwanted pregnancies. Here is where the two sides often diverge. The pro-life faction tends to also be vocally against contraception, especially its distribution to vulnerable groups such as teenagers, which leaves abstinence as the only option for preventing pregnancy. The only problem is most people live in a reality-based universe where sex happens. To enable women to live real lives without constant fear that their life will be set off course by pregnancy, cheap and reliable contraception needs to be widely available, along with education on how to use it. It sounds so simple, but then again we are on a college campus, most of us have insurance and we all have access to some form of contraceptive. Life isn't this easy for everyone. We can also find common ground in support for pregnant women and mothers. I hear a lot about the rights of the fetus, but all too often the pro-life side pays only lip-service to the life of the woman. Some women do not want to deal with pregnancy or childbirth because they understand the real economic costs associated with children. With health care costs still extremely high, public Things like nuance and context surrounding the issue of abortion are notably absent from Governor Brownback's empty calls for "a culture of life in Kansas." More restrictions to abortion access won't take long to get on the books, but I'll bet anything you won't see realistic and positive ways enacted that would reduce the necessity. What restrictions will do is make life more complicated and difficult for women who aren't in an easy place to begin with. This is morally reprehensible. assistance programs facing constant budget cuts and employers not required to provide substantial paid maternity leave, having a child can look like the worst decision possible for some women. Abortion does not exist in a bubble, but in the same environment as various social, economic and cultural structures. The best solution is always more complicated than it first appears. If we truly want to help women, adding more restrictions to the already-difficult decision is not the answer. As the murdered Dr. Tiller said, trust women.

"It was kind of a mess, wasn't it?" an unmissible Bay said of the 2009 film. "Look, the movie had some good things in it and it was entertaining and it did very well, but it also failed in some key ways. I learned from it. And now with this third movie we're going back to basics and I absolutely believe this is going to be a much better film than the second one." As Bay spoke, he was standing on the Playa Vista set of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," his ninth feature film as director and, to his own surprise, his third movie about Bumblebee, Megatron and the other giant, shape-shifting alien robots called Transformers. It's due out July 1. "I think we have something to prove with this third one," Bay said. "We're back to basics. The second one was something going on inside of Sam [Witwicky], the way he affected and feeling, and that's a hard thing to do. It's more mystical, in a way. This one, there's nothing mystical about it. It's a good old-fashioned mystery and it's a tougher movie ... it's funny but it's not a wisecrack-funny; it's funnier in the situation." Spielberg says he brought the filmmaker in for "Transformers" because of the way he works with humans, not machines. "The first chance I ever had to work with Michael Bay was when he directed 'The Island' for DreamWorks and Warner Bros. in 2005," Spielberg said. "The Island" was successful in showing me how well Michael could deal with relationships within a big conceptual drama. It didn't take second sight to know how brilliantly he would handle the action between the Autobots and the Decepticons. But because our principal premise for a first 'Transformers' was the story of a girl, a boy and his car, "The Island" showed me that Michael would pay special attention to the human stories in "Transformers." 1 KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2011 / NEWS 5A RU CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Thomas Robinson poses with his mother Lisa Robinson and seven-year-old sister Jayla. Robinson recently attended his mother's funeral in Washington, D.C. with the men's basketball team. ROBINSON (CONTINUED FROM 1A) arrived. The Jayhawks got off their coach bus and, one at a time, hopped over a growing puddle of slush in their dress shoes and entered the church. They filed past Lisa Robinson's white casket and gave a short hug to their teammate. Robinson rose from his seat and lingered over his mother's body before the ceremony started, wiping away tears. He had placed a white rose and a Kansas jersey inside the casket. Earlier in the day Lisa Robinson's cousin, MacArthur Wilder, said Lisa dreamed that her son would go to college.. Midway through the funeral Wilder gave a prayer thanking God for getting everyone to the church safely, including the entire basketball team that flew in from Kansas. "We're family, and this is something we wanted to do for Thomas," senior guard Tyrel Reed said in a statement released by the Kansas athletics department. "Thomas is our brother and he and Jayla are hurting. We'll do anything we can to make sure they get through this." Wilder also thanked the Kansas administration and the student body for their support. Before the ceremony he marveled at the way a campus of 30,000 students seemed to become a much smaller place when one of their own was hurting. "If you can only imagine in this time of pain and hurt, and tears that flow, that one of the comforts is that there are people who care." Wilder said. "You do have an extended family, and I believe that the University of Kansas for Thomas is an extended family." Randy Beamon, the Jayhawks' team pastor from 2002 to 2009, now lives in Virginia and was at the funeral. Rev. William H. Gibbs of Antioch Baptist invited him to speak. "This is a family, you know that Thomas, don't you, this basketball team is a family," Beamon said. Then he turned to the team on the other side of the church. "And you guys here, you have a huge responsibility to embrace him as you've already done. And that will honor the Lord." Robinson did not speak at the funeral, but he stood nearby when Jayla got up to read a letter she had written to her mom. With her father at her side, Jayla read in a small voice that was nearly inaudible even when Gibbs put a portable microphone in front of her. But the words "I love you, Mommy" seemed to come through clearer than the rest. Robinson seemed to draw strength from the ceremony, which concluded with a soaring eulogy by Gibbs. He stood at the rear of the church as people filed past and accepted condolences. Coach Bill Self gave him a hug and Robinson said he was doing OK. "It was a beautiful service," Self said in the athletics department statement. "It was sad, but also very uplifting. It was great to see that Lisa had so many family and friends come to pay their respects and pay tribute to her." Outside the church the two groups mingled, with some of Robinson's family and friends posting for pictures with the Kansas players. When Robinson finally came down the stairs of the church and out onto the street the team gathered around him almost instinctively. Wilder said when he heard the news of his cousin's death his first thought was, "Oh God, how much more can we bear?" But he said that faith would get the family through, and that he was daydreaming the night before about Thomas Robinson being within the loving embrace of thousands of fans roaring for him at Allen Fieldhouse. "This is what I'm sensing from the University of Kansas: that Thomas' pain and suffering is my pain and suffering," Wilder said. "That's what they're saying to me, and I found myself choking back tears."

But for too long, many scholarships have instead been reserved for students at KU," she said. Edited by Samantha Collins After the speech, Gray-Little explained that it would be possible for upperclassmen to have less of an opportunity to receive scholarships but there would be more of an opportunity for the University's future students. Gray-Little also said that by reducing the number of general hours a student was required to take would help improve retention and graduation rates. "The question we must address is, 'What should every undergraduate know and have experienced before graduating?'" She said. Gray-Little said that the University was close to reaching a consensus and those new requirements would be used in the 2012-2013 school year. The other challenge the University must navigate is the state budget crisis. Gray-Little outlined how the University had lost $43 million in state funding and un-funded the downturn. She also explained that the University had experienced a 37 percent decrease in state funding over the last 10 years after adjust- benefits as well," she said. While most of the talk about the state legislature during the speech involved budget cuts, the legislature had one high point. "The question we must address is, "what should every undergraduate know." BERNADETTE GRAY-LITTLE Chancellor ment for inflation. She said this had forced the University to cut down on that amount of offered classes and made maintaining a high-level faculty difficult. "We understand Kansas continues to face economic challenges and that the recovery is still gaining strength. But we also know that higher education has public Gray-Little announced to the crowd, made up largely of faculty, that the Kansas Senate Ways and Means committee did not approve the bill that would have docked state employee's 7.5 percent of their entire years pay for the final part of the 2011 fiscal year.

He faces one count each of murder, robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. INDIANAPOLIS — A 60-year-old man with a long criminal history was charged Thursday with murder in the fatal shooting of an Indianapolis police officer whose handgun, prosecutors said, was still in its holster when he was gunned down in a driveway. Wednesday, three days after he was shot four times — twice in the head — during a Sunday traffic stop. The 29-year-old officer's death was the city's first fatal police shooting in seven years. Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry praised police investigators for "swiftly and efficiently" investigating the shooting, which had left the 29-year-old Moore in a coma until he was declared brain-dead Wednesday.

On campus, an exhibit in celebration of the sesquicentennial entitled "1861 - Kansas from Statehood to Civil War" will highlight events on campus that cover the topic of Kansas history. The exhibit, in the gallery on the third floor of Watson Library, will open Feb. 4 with a reception and lecture from Spencer Research Library curator Sherry Williams. A local fiddler will also accompany the reception with music from that period. Sarah Goodwin Thiel, the digital imaging librarian and chairwoman of the exhibit's program, said the point of the exhibit was to showcase resources around campus. "Our hope is to peak the interest of people on campus and the visitors to campus to look further into what we have here in the libraries and the campus itself on that topic," Thiel said. KANSAS AND THE CIVIL WAR This year is also the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which some argue began in Kansas as a result of its admittance into the Union. According to Territorial Kansas Online, "the conflicts in Kansas and how they were reported in eastern newspapers contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War." Madden agrees. "The Civil War started in Kansas," she said. On April 12, 1861, just a couple of months after Kansas became a state, the bombardment of Fort Sumter officially started the bloodiest war in American History. Jennifer Weber, an associate professor of Civil War studies, said Kansas' bloody past continues to have a lasting effect on students' lives.

Knowing the difference between a passing case of the "winter blues" and something more serious involves a complex psychological diagnosis. But the cure in either case may be surprisingly simple. Ruth Ann Atchley, psychology professor and department chairwoman, said the winter blues which might include feelings of depression, disruption in sleep patterns and fatigue — was very common. When enough of these symptoms appear, are acute and recur again and again, a person may be diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. This disorder is classed together with other kinds of depression and is clinically distinct from the normal ups and downs that most people experience throughout the seasons. Achley estimates that between four and six percent of the population suffers from SAD and another 10 to 15 percent of the population experiences some lesser version of seasonal depression. "What's important about the distinction between the winter blues and SAD is that we can see a physiological change." Atchley said. Seasonal affective disorder seems to be related to variations in the availability of light from season to season. Lower levels of light can cause increased production of the sleep hormone melatonin in the brain, affecting the body's circadian rhythm, which governs sleep cycles. This kind of hormone change can contribute to mood changes, overeating and disruption of social and sexual patterns. For those who are suffering from the "winter blues" or from SAD, there are means of getting relief. One of the most frequently recommended treatments is counseling, which is available to University of Kansas students at Counseling and Psychological Services, located in Watkins Memorial Health Center. Another possible treatment is phototherapy, which involves spending extended periods of time near specially designed, high-intensity light bulbs. Achley and others in the psychology department are currently studying whether the winter blues and SAD are truly different conditions or merely differ in severity. She said that either way, some of the most effective treatments are the same in either case. There are also very simple things that a person can do to alleviate symptoms of depression, seasonal or otherwise. Stephen Ilardi, associate professor of clinical psychology, has researched a treatment for depression called therapeutic lifestyle change, or TLC. The treatment includes being more active, maintaining healthy sleeping patterns, exercise and seeking social support instead of isolation. Rick Ingram, professor of psychology, said the components of TLC are generally effective in treating depression, particularly the seasonal variety. Atchley emphasized that healthy lifestyle choices like exercise and regular sleep are important for everyone, in addition to combating depression. "We know we need to do that," she said. "But what if it also made you feel better?"

STUDY ABROAD FAIR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND 10:30 am - 3:30 pm 4th floor lobby of the Kansas Union www.studyabroad.ku.edu / GAME DAY / FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE The Wildcats are reeling and desperate for a win to bolster their now-lacking NCAA Tournament résumé. The Jayhawks are emotionally whooped, but need to stay on the winning track to pick up a game on Texas, which hosts Missouri Saturday night. A win for either team is essential, and a loss has massive repercussions on team goals. This was supposed to be the game of the season, with ESPN's College GameDay crew here to capture it all. Instead, the game of the year at Allen Fieldhouse was last week, and this has turned into a potential blowout with the Wildcats clinging to their postseason hopes. PLAYERTOWATCH Sophomore forward, Thomas Robinson Kansas sports information director Chris Theisen confirmed Thursday night that Robinson will be returning to play Kansas State, but that the circumstances surrounding it have changed so Robinson often and so rapidly that he wouldn't write anything in concrete. Robinson didn't fly home with his teammates, but was expected to return today. If he makes it back despite inclement weather, there will be all the love he can take coming from fans in the Fieldhouse. He could play a major role if his heart is in it, but it would be plenty understandable if it isn't. QUESTION MARK Can Kansas contain the resurgent Pullen? COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY Pullen has been excellent since returning from a three-game suspension for accepting impermissible benefits. The Wildcats' senior captain is averaging 20.1 points on 44 percent shooting. He's a volume shooter, though, which means he needs to take a lot of shots to get his points. If Kansas can deny him the ball outright, he'll be much easier to slow. Shutting down Pullen also means not fouling him, which the Jayhawks sometimes struggle with. When Pullen gets to the line, he's hitting 82 percent of his free throws since the suspension. HEARYE, HEARYE "I think our attitudes are good and our heads are right. They've handled everything pretty good. They know Thomas is going to be OK, and they'll feel better after going out there." —— Bill Self on the teams' outlook since the death of Lisa Robinson, Thomas'mother Rivals take the stage for GameDay KANSAS VS. KANSAS STATE 6 p.m., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, Lawrence Taylor Sunflower standoff KANSAS 19-1,(4-1) STARTERS Tyshawn Taylor, guard Taylor and Brady Morningstar will split time on the most important job of the game for Kansas: shutting down Jacob Pullen, Taylor's returned to form distributing the ball (10 assists, two turnovers in his last two games), but he's been lacking defensively and in scoring the ball. Alec Burks and Cory Higgins combined for 44 points with Taylor taking some time on them. If Pullen goes off, he could keep K-State in it. Reed ★★★☆☆ PETER ABUADIKI Tyrel Reed, guard Reed struggled from outside against Colorado, hitting just two out of eight shots, but any off nights from him can be safely marked down as an anomaly. Reed needs to shake off the bad shooting night and deliver on Saturday. The Wildcats don't have a great perimeter defender to spare on him. If Reed is on, Kansas could rout Kansas State. Selby Morris ★★★★ Selby's importance to the Kansas offense is rarely overstated, and for good reason. His importance is difficult to overstate. If Selby is clicking, he can score in all manner of ways, and the matchups he forces open up the offense for his teammates. Coach Bill Self told Selby Monday to be more aggressive, and he responded with one of his best performances of the season. A roiled ankle suffered against Colorado should be 100 percent by now. ★★★★☆ Morris going against Kansas State's Curtis Kelly should provide a great matchup in the post. Marcus is the better of the two, and his versatility could make Marcus Morris, forward tor a nightmare defensively for Kelly. But Kelly is a bruiser, and Marcus has had some trouble guarding pure posts like Texas"Tristan Thompson. Whoever wins the battle here will give their team a huge leg up. ★★★★★ --- Markieff Morris, forward Morris Statistically, there's no obvious reason for Markieff Morris' quiet night offensively Tuesday. He hit 50 percent of his shots, pulled down four offensive boards, stayed out of foul trouble and played decent minutes. But still he only scored six points. The only glaring stat is that he wasn't able to get to the free throw line once against an underwhelming Colorado frontcourt. KANSAS STATE 14-7,(2-4) STARTERS Shane Southwell,guard Southwell ★★★★ Inserted into the starting lineup four games ago, Southwell has fouled out in two of those games. Since conference play started his minutes have more than doubled. He is averaging 2.6 points per game, 2.6 assists per game and 2.8 rebounds per game in five conference games. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THEM ONLINE. ★★☆★★ Rodney McGruder, guard McGruder has started every game this year for Wildcats this season. He is second in points behind Pullen, scoring 11.2 per game. McGruder is shooting a team best 40.9 percent. The downfall for McGruder is his 59.5 percent from the free throw line. As a guard, this number should be better. -Tim Dwyer ★★★★ KANSAS Jacob Pullen, forward 2 McGruder ★★★☆ Teams are not "fearing the beard" as much this year as some did last. Pullen's numbers are down and he is taking forced shots that are heavily contended. Pullen is still the go-to player. He is averaging 17.9 points and 3.5 assists per game. He is the engine that makes this team go. If Pullen is having a bad night, it is game over for the Wildcats. Pullen was suspended for three games for accepting more clothes than he paid for. Jamar Samuels, forward KANSAS forward is no obvious Morris' only Tues- nt of his our eyed and es. ring e to once ing PHOTO Samuels is averaging 9.6 points per game. He is second in rebounding, averaging 5.9 per game. Samuels tries to spread the floor and take shots from deep, but he is an abysmal 6 of 23 (26.1 percent). A season ago he won the Big 12'Sixth Man of the Year Award. ★★☆★★ Pullen adidas BEST MODEL IN BOWEN Samuels Curtis Kelly, forward Kelly, along with Pullen, was suspended for accepting more clothes than he paid for. However, his suspension was for six games because he took more clothes than Pullen. Kelly has been back for four games now and he is averaging 11 points per game. He is perfect from behind the arc and is averaging 7.5 rebounds per game since his return. He is third in scoring, averaging 10.5 points per game. THE YOUNG MAN ★★★☆☆ Mike Lavieri — Tyrel Reed IIII KSU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Kansas State is coming off a 69-61 must win against Baylor on Monday. The Wildcats are now 2-4 in conference play and if they want a chance to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, they will need to finish 7-3 in conference from here on out. It will be difficult with two games against Kansas and one against Texas and Missouri, all four are probable loses. It seems that the Wildcats will need to win out if they lose those four games. The Wildcats still have games at Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa State. If they don't escape with wins there, they might be head to the NIT. COACH TO WATCH Coach Frank Martin Martin is known as the coach that can be seen screaming and velling on the PETER E. SCHWARTZ yelling on the sideline on ESPN. He will have another opportunity to do that tomorrow when ESPN GameDay will be in Lawrence. Martin be in lawrence. Martin is an underrated coach and has done a great job with K-State during his tenure. He is major catalyst to whether the Wildcats do well or not. He has the personnel, it is just a matter if those players respond to Martin. If K-State comes out flat and is blown out by Kansas, Martin is sure to blow a gasket. Before the season even started, Martin said that replacing the production of players lost, like Clemente and Colon to graduation and Sutton to a transfer, would be replaced easily. He said there are players coming and going. If one player leaves, he said another would step up and contribute. What Martin said would be missed is leadership. He thought his players would become more leaders, but as K-State's record shows, nobody has stepped up. But it would also look like the Wildcats are missing the scoring of Clemente and the rebounding of Sutton. QUESTION MARK Are the Wildcats missing Denis Clemente, Luis Colon and Dominique Sutton? HEAR YE, HEAR YE "I feel like everything's got to come through Manhattan this year. I feel like it's our league to lose." Senior guard Jacob Pullen before the Big 12 season "This is my last go-around. I'm not going to the NIT. I won't play basketball in the NIT. I'm saying that now. If we lose, and we have to go to the NIT, I will not play." — Pullen after Kansas State's 74-66 loss against Colorado on Jan. 12.

Drop another game in the standings behind Texas, and the Jayhawks will have a long walk uphill to get to seven in a row. Baby Jay's already weeping after the emotional funeral that saw Lisa Robinson laid to rest, but tears of a different sort will be in order if the Jayhawks can't shake off the cobwebs of one of the more intense weeks of their lives. Kansas will need to be at full strength to hold off a Kansas State team that is fighting for life in the Big 12.

FACT OF THE DAY BYU's Jimmer Fredette scored 43 points in a victory against No. 4 San Diego State on Wednesday, bringing his average scoring output this month to 35.7. -Sportales.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many times has Jimmer Fredette scored more than 40 points in his career? Kansas Athletics A: Five NEW STREAK (CONTINUED FROM 12A) team with that much emotion can only sustain it for so long, and Texas owned the final 30 minutes of play. If Kansas lets the emotions of the last seven days overwhelm them again, they could be facing a new kind of streak in Allen Fieldhouse, and not one that fans would be able to boast about. As with the Texas game and the Colorado game Tuesday, Kansas will have to find a way to take the emotions of the week and try to put them aside for 40 minutes of play. "We're looking forward to going to support Thomas at the funeral," senior Tyrel Reed said, "but we've got a good K-State team coming in. It's going to be an emotional day" Not all the emotions at this Saturday's game will be negative, though. Former Kansas great Wayne Simien, who attended Lisa Robinson's funeral and now spends some time with the team in a ministerial role, will have his No. 23 jersey retired in a ceremony at halftime. Edited by Sarah Gregory Cruel tradition or cool tradition? MORNING BREW Stab the symbol of your country to a bloody pulp. Then wait for applause. Ah, the life of the matador. No, bullfighting isn't just waving that red cape like you see in the cartoons (bulls are actually colorblind; they are enraged by the movement of the cape, while the color red just conceals bloodstains). In fact, bullfighting isn't really a fight at all. Let's just say, I wouldn't bother rooting for the bull. In Spain, the bull graces Picassos and tourist pamphlets alike. It also sits in the middle of a debate between traditionalists and animal rights activists. But before we embark on this argument, it is important to understand exactly what a bullfight is. I will try to recognize the text in the image. The text is: "CHEF" "JACKSON" "BENZON" "MIDDLE" "EAST" "TOWN" "VILLAGE" "CITY" "STATE" "WEST" "EAST" "TOWN" "VILLAGE" "CITY" "STATE" "WEST" In a typical Spanish bullfight, or "corrida," the flashy suited matador serves as the glorified centerpiece. He (never she) is accompanied by two men on horseback ("picadores") holding sharp lances, three assistants with flags ("handerilleros"), and one sword bearer Each fight contains three distinct parts ("tercios"), which are separated by the sound of trumpets. Before it all begins, the bull is released into the ring and the bulldiggers enter and salute "el presidente." During the first tercio, the matador focuses on the tendencies of the bull as the banderillerte tease the bull with their waving flags. The matador watches closely to spot the bull's preferred placement in the ring (if there is one) or any of its physical differences. Then, the two picadores on horseback arrive with their lances. The horse is blind-folded and padded on its sides. The bull is then prompted to attack the horse, does so, and the picadores jab at the bull's neck with their lances. After the attack, the bull is BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com enraged and responds by pounding the horse with its head and horns, further weakening the neck and making the matador's eventual job easier. The second tercio calls for the bandilleros to stick several barbed flags in the bull's shoulders while the matador waits outside of the ring. The flags are flamboyant, usually containing the colors of the region. This next level of stabbing further enrages the bull, encouraging more retaliation and simultaneous weakening. The third tercio spells the death of the bull. The matador returns to the ring with a sword in one hand and a rep cape in the other. He waves the cape to irritate the bull and encourage an attack. As the bull lowers its head and charges at the cape, the matador stabs the bull between its shoulder blades and through the heart. Sometimes the death of the bull is quick; often, it is slow and painful, calling for a second stabbing of the bull's spinal cord for an instant death. Then, a team of mules drag the dead bull across the dirt and out of the ring, leaving a trail of blood in its path. If the matador performs well, el presidente awards him the ears, and sometimes the tail, of the bull. THE MORNING BREW Now that we understand how bullfighting works, let's consider the rationale of this "tradition." Now, I'm not one to throw a bucket of animal blood on your mink coat or march with picket signs outside of KFC. However, I also can't tolerate the actions taking place in these bullfights. Many argue that bullfighting lives on as a tradition and that it should be left alone. I'm all for traditions like apple pie and baseball. I say forget a tradition if it involves bloody murder of any kind. Others argue that bullfighting functions as a moneymaker from tourists. But is that really the kind of money you want to make? At the expense of a bull's life? I say we outlaw bullfighting in any form. I want no part in this kind of tradition or this kind of money. I want bulls away from the ring and matadors away from their unwarranted glory. If this subject is too far away from our American eyes, consider an equivalent: What would you say if it shot down and slowly tortured a bald eagle to death? — Edited by Caroline Bledowski 跑 Track Jayhawk Classic All Day Lawrence THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TODAY 5 SATURDAY 跳 Women's basketball Kansas State 2 p.m. Manhattan Men's basketball Kansas State 6 p.m. Lawrence SUNDAY MONDAY SUNDAY No events scheduled today TUESDAY VOLLEYBALL 足球运动员 MONDAY No events scheduled today Men's basketball Texas Tech 8 p.m. Lubbock, Texas COLLEGE BASKETBALL Playground WEDNESDAY Blue Devils defeat Boston College **Women's basketball** Colorado 7 p.m. Lawrence It wound up being his best day in a Duke uniform.

Nolan Smith finished with 28 points while Kyle Singler had 14 for the Blue Devils (19-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). They shot 50 percent from the field, hit 10 3-pointers and used a huge Curry-led run early in the second half to claim their fourth straight win.

The younger brother of Golden State star Stephen Curry sat out last season after transferring from Liberty. He made just his fifth start for the Blue Devils and his first since they were upset two weeks ago at Florida State. Corey Raji scored 18 points and Joe Trapani added 14 for BC (14-7, 4-3).

No. 20 Illinois loses by three to Indiana Together, they set off the wildest celebration in Bloomington in years. Hulls scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half, and Pritchard tipped in a missed shot with 44.2 seconds to go, giving Indiana a 52-49 upset of No. 20 Illinois on Thursday night. The victory ended a 19-game losing streak against ranked opponents for Indiana (11-10, 2-6 Big Ten). Mike Davis scored 14 points to lead Illinois (14-7, 4-4), which has lost four of five and failed to win its third straight in Bloomington. And it was every bit as tough as it looked. Hulls, who started the game with a wrap on his right knee, finished it with a bandage on his right temple and tape around his right forearm. And Pritchard, who drew four fouls in the first 9 minutes of the second half, came up with the game's biggest play when he got his fingertips on a missed shot and redirected it for what proved to be the winning basket. Fans rushed the court, jumping up and down at midcourt in a celebration reminiscent of a night the Hoosiers upset thenNo.1 Michigan State in January 2001. Neither team led by more than six points, and when the illini closed on a 7-2 run to take a 32-30 halftime lead, it looked like the game might slip away from Indiana.

The whole team was there, along with coaches and support staff. "There was a great sense of pride that I felt," Self said about the team's support of Robinson, "because I saw how close they were." Next, Josh Selby will bury one of his best friends today. He won't be able to do it in person. Incllement weather in the Northeast and wishes from his family that he not push his luck prevented it. So he returned last night with the Jayhawks, minus one man: Robinson, who remained with his little sister in Washington, D.C., but will return to play Saturday. It's been an emotional week for everyone involved. And the last time the lajayhawks took the floor at Allen Fieldhouse with this much emotion, a 69-game home-court winning streak was ended. Saturday's loss to Texas, of course, was put into perspective by the news of Thomas Robinson's mother's death Friday night, but losses in basketball count the same, regardless of the circumstances.

It's not a national holiday or even a holiday many Kansans visibly celebrate. But this year, it falls on the same day as a civil war for the state's basketball pride. From Kansas City to the western town of Kanorado, everyone will be watching as ESPN's College GameDay comes to Lawrence on Jan. 29. Players will enter the game with mammoth pressure on their shoulders to win a rivalry that has the power to split friends and families. Along with the exuberance at tip-off comes the threatening realization that this Kansas Day, the Jayhawks' hopes for a Big 12 title could be tarnished or Kansas State's chances for making the tournament could become slimmer. With a 13-7 overall and 1-4 conference record, K-State will likely have to win eight of its next 11 games to make the NCAA tournament. The Wildcats are looking up at the ladder of top 25 teams with a bruised chin since falling down the rungs from their preseason ranking at No. 3. Heading into the Sunflower Showdown, the Wildcats are desperately fighting to redeem themselves and save their season. Kansas has a lot to fight for as well. Not only will a Kansas loss virtually knock them out of Big 12 title talk for the first time since 2004, but the team is fighting for something bigger. A patch will be worn for the second time on the left shoulder of every Kansas jersey with the letters "LR" for Lisa Robinson, the late mother of KU sophomore forward Thomas Robinson. The team returned from Lisa Robinson's funeral on Thursday in Washington, D.C., only to immediately start preparing for the biannual rivalry. A teammate. A brother. In the larger scheme of things, the game is just a moment in the middle of a long season. But for fans, seeing Thomas Robinson's strength to get through this tragedy will provide far more inspiration than any victory. It will be his strength this season that will bring fans, families, friends and even rivals together. This situation brings back memories of the tragedy in 2005 when a car crash resulted in the death of former Jayhawk Darnell Jackson's grandmother and the temporary immobilization of his mother. In the emotional outpouring that followed, Jackson proved to be a rallying character for the 2008 national championship team. Robinson is not just welcomed, but embraced by the fans who love him. He will likely be a similar emotional anchor for this Kansas team. Meanwhile, K-State will look to land a win in the Big 12 to try to get back to .500 in the conference. So, on this day, the 150th birthday of Kansas, let the battle begin. GameDay air Saturday at 9 a.m. on ESPNU and at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on ESPN.

TheLawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority created a map of all emergency aid resources in Lawrence. The Housing Authority worked with the City of Lawrence and Headquarters Counseling Center on the assignment. The map lists 91 organizations and services, from the Adult Learning Center to the Willow Domestic Violence Center and gives contact information for each. Many of these organizations seek volunteer help. "It will probably be a useful tool, certainly, for anyone who" doing social services in the community," said Carrie Lindsey, director of resident services for the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority. "A useful tool for anyone who's volunteering." The Douglas County AIDS Project, one of the organizations listed on the map, relies on volunteer help, said Colt Coffin. Coffin is a case manager for the project. "We're always extremely open to volunteers." Coffin said. Lindsey cautioned that many organizations appreciate extended notice from prospective volunteers. It can be difficult to accommodate volunteers on short notice Lindsey says. Other organizations listed on the map that may interest students include Big Brothers and Big Sisters, KU Psychological Clinic and the Leo Center. Lindsey said the map took about a year to complete. Only 1,000 copies are available now but after organizations verify the map 5,000 copies will be distributed across the city. Lindsey says the maps will be available at local aid organizations. The map primarily targets Lawrence residents who have been affected by the recession and are looking for aid for the first time, says Lindsey.

STUDENT LIFE Brewing with a personal touch BY CHRIS HONG chong@kansan.com After Robert Decker's freshman year in 2007, he developed an appreciation for high-quality beer. The only problem was that Decker, a graduate student from Stillwater, Okla., could not legally buy alcohol. Although Decker's problem was common among younger students, his solution was a bit unorthodox: he began brewing the beer himself. "It was a means for me to sort of start exploring the world of beer with a handson approach," Decker said. The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) is an organization where homebrewers connect through all things beer. The AHA currently has 24,000 members, and officials estimate 750,000 Americans brew beer at home at least once a year. The Lawrence Brewers Guild has around 100 members, according to the group's newly-elected president Russell Brickell. Brickell, who began homebrewing four years ago and is now an assistant brewer at 23rd St. Brewery, said homebrewing could be a creative outlet for students. "Its kind of like buying cookie dough as opposed to making the ingredients itself," Greenwood said. "Obviously, its way easier to buy the cookie dough, but it costs more than buying the flour, sugar and chocolate chips." "If you're going to drink beer, you might as well drink something you made yourself." Brickell said. Decker said that on average, five gallons of beer, or 50 bottles, costs him about $25 to make. That equates to roughly 50 cents per bottle. He said it's more expensive for beginners because they need to purchase equipment and will likely use malt extract, a processed and simpler ingredient, as opposed to raw grains. Rich Greenwood, another Lawrence homebrewer, compared the two ingredient options to baking. Decker and Greenwood both said that having enough free time and space to brew are challenges they face, but Decker thinks homebrewing is worth the extra hassle. "It may cost more than buying beer from the store, but you're getting a lot more out of it," he said. "You're getting more than just beer: you're SEE ALCOHOL ON PAGE 3A 画 2A / NEWS / MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "American consumers have no problem with carcinogens, but they will not purchase any product, including floor wax, that has fat in it." --- Dave Barry FACT OF THE DAY The German word for fat is Schmalz. qi.com KANSAN.com Monday, January 31, 2011 Men's track Featured content kansan.com Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN KANSAS 6 538 KANSAS 4 538 KANSAS Art Kirisha Loe/KANSAS Kansas vs. Kansas State Sprinter Keron Toussaint runs in the Men's 600 Meter Run.

CRIME Man threatens mosque ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — A 63-year-old Southern California man who was traveling with explosives in his vehicle with the intention of blowing up one of the nation's largest mosques where mourners had gathered for a funeral was arrested in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan authorities said Sunday. Dearborn police said Roger Stockham was arraigned Wednesday on one count of making a false report or threat of terrorism and one count of possessing explosives with an unlawful intent. Stockham had a large but undisclosed quantity of class-C fireworks including M-80s, which are outlawed in Michigan, Chief Ronald Haddad said. "I was comfortable with the fact that he had taken him off the street — he isn't going anywhere," Haddad told The Associated Press Sunday afternoon. "I think the society he wanted to impact is safe." Haddad said authorities believe Stockham was acting alone but still take him "very seriously." He said Stockham has "a long history of anti-government activities," though he declined to elaborate. The chief said he called the mosque leader, Imam Hassan al-Qazwini, early Tuesday to let him know of the arrest, and later met with Qazwini and mosque board Haddad said Stockham was arrested Monday evening without incident in the parking lot of Islamic Center of America, while a large group was gathered inside. He said police received a 911 call from a resident. members. He said members shared concerns about copycat crimes if the arrest was publicized, and Haddad said he understood. "We never want to put something out there that gives someone the 'how-to.'" Haddad said. Qazwini informed worshippers about the incident during his sermon on Friday. The Council on American-Islamic Relations' Michigan chapter issued a news release Saturday night and the police followed Sunday morning. Stockham remained jailed Sunday. A preliminary examination is scheduled for Friday. Police didn't know whether Stockham had an attorney.

STATE To avoid fines, texters should put away phones BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE Inightengale@kansan.com With service providers AT&T and Verizon, unlimited text messaging features cost about $20 per month. But now, under Kansas State Law, just one of those messages could cost up to $133 in fines and court costs if sent while users are driving. The Kansas Texting Law took effect Jan. 1, allowing officers to issue citations for texting and driving. The law extends to all wireless communication except phone calls, including BlackBerry messaging and e-mailing. Lawrence Police Sergeant Matt Sarna says that while officers have already issued citations this year and will continue to ticket under the new law, punishing texters will not become a priority. "It's not something that we're going to go after hard," Sarna said. If an officer notices that a driver is distracted and using a wireless device, the officer will pull the driver over, said Sarna. Operating a wireless device while driving is now a primary offense in Kansas, meaning violators can be pulled over just for using their phones. Since making and receiving phone calls is still legal, officers must distinguish between users who are sending messages and those who are simply dialing a phone number. "It's pretty easy to tell when they're at a stop light and someone's looking down and texting." Sarna said. "If there's any doubt at all, they're not going to pull them over." A study released in September by the Highway Loss Data Institute indicated that other states that have enacted similar bans experienced no improvement in frequency of collisions. Despite criticism of such laws, police are optimistic it will help people to be more aware of situations in which texting can be dangerous.

But beneath the surface of academic success, some of the Columbia University students charged in a campus drug takedown struggled with substance abuse, their lawyers say. Attorneys for two of the five students plan to ask a court to prescribe treatment instead of prison With the bid for what's known as "diversion" to treatment, the Columbia bust "is probably the case that's going to cause light to be shed on what these new laws mean: When diversion is appropriate, and what the Legislature intended when it cut back so drastically the Rockefeller laws," said Marc Agnifilo, who represents one of the students, Christopher Coles. one of the most high-profile tests so far a recent overhaul of New York's once-notoriously stringent drug laws. The outcome will be watched closely by opponents and proponents of 2009 changes to mitigate what were known as the Rockefeller drug laws. Coles and fellow students Harrison David, Adam Klein, Jose Perez and Michael Wymbs were arrested in December, have pleaded not guilty and are due back in court in March. Authorities called the arrests one of the largest drug takedowns at a New York City college in recent memory, and the prestigious setting made the case a media magnet.

The 2009 revisions took away some mandatory minimum terms — after the harshest terms were eliminated in 2004 — and let hundreds of nonviolent drug offenders seek to shorten their sentences. Coles and Wymbs hope a judge will use that discretion to channel their cases to a special drug court, their lawyers said. Drug court defendants generally undergo a year or more of treatment and may end up with their charges dismissed or reduced to misdemeanors. The latest changes also gave judges more latitude to send nonviolent offenders to treatment programs or other alternatives to prison, on the premise that addressing addictions would do more to change some offenders' criminal behavior than would lock them up. anthropology and political science major involved in a campus effort to combat sexual violence, Coles told police he sold drugs to pay tuition, prosecutors said.

It had become so problematic that his father had called Columbia to express concern, Agnifilo said; a university spokesman declined to comment.

The show is expected to air sometime next month. The Hendersons have said they revealed their lives as sex abuse victims in a three-part series in The Wichita Eagle last month with the hope of inspiring others to report abuse. Now, Kellie and Kathie Henderson will retell their story at a taping in Chicago with Oprah Winfrey and her 7 million viewers on her daytime television show. State regulators say they have received several reports of sexual abuse because of the story series. "While we haven't had a big influx of reports, I would say that we had a few that specifically said when they reported suspected sexual abuse that they were reporting because of having read the article," said Jean Hogan, director of the Wichita regional office of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. "If even one child is protected as a result, it is positive." The Eagle series described how the Henderson twins were sexually abused for about 10 years. At age 13 in March 2005, they confided in neighbors who called police. The sisters regard the neighbors and police who investigated as heroes who saved their lives. Kathie said she had contemplated suicide before their rescue.

The officer says the catapult was capable of launching 4.4 pounds of marijuana at a time. He says soldiers seized 35 pounds of pot, the vehicle and the catapult. A Mexican army officer says the 3-yard (3-meter) tall catapult was found about 20 yards (20 meters) from the U.S. border on a flatbed towed by a sports utility vehicle. The smugglers left before they could be captured. The surveillance video of them using the catapult was released Wednesday. Associated Press 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Is it wrong that my biggest disappointment from yesterday's game is that T-Rob didn't get one more rebound? The university needs the money, just not the strings EDITORIAL Last week, Gov. Sam Brownback's proposed his $105 million University Economic Growth initiative, designed to stimulate job growth in research areas such as aviation, cancer research, animal health and engineering. According to the plan, Kansas State, Wichita State universities, and the University of Kansas will each receive $5 million a year for three years, as well as the ability to receive another $3 million annually. However, Brownback has attached some rather interesting strings to that additional $3 million: competition. In a nutshell, each university would be "required to provide through private sector or reprogrammed funds 50 percent of the cost of the program initiative," according to Brownback's State of the State address. In the past, the funds were directed to the University Cancer Center. Now, the funds first go through the Department of Commerce who will distribute the money throughout different areas of research. Sure, this is a great opportunity for the Cancer Research Center to gain extra support, but at what cost? This is the problem the University will have to face if we want to further the research that already so much has been invested in. Brownback's initiative is distracting state universities by hanging more money over their head, instead of equally distributing the money to the school's primary area of research. Competition is a beautiful thing, and can bring out the best in people, but this proposal creates a hindrance along with the benefit. Issues surround this new initiative, and it seems that if job creation is the goal behind this new program, the money should be more accessible to respective programs. Perhaps a better course of action would be to ultimately grant each university the total $8 million per Although director of the KU Cancer Center, Dr. Roy Jensen, said in an interview with The Kansan that he didn't think raising the private matching funds would be too difficult, Governor Brownback's new initiative sure is a far cry from former policies. year regardless of what they can develop on their own. That way it relieves the pressure of falling short while still encouraging independent fundraising. Brett Crawford for the Kansan Editorial Board. CARTOON Well, sidewalks are clear and the snow is melting. That can mean just one thing... THE NEXT STORM'S COMING NICHOLAS SAMBALUK Letter to the Editor Incident does not reflect the entire CU student body I am extremely angry. In the morning paper [The Denver Post], I read that a CU student yelled out "F__ Kansas" during a moment of silence for KU player Thomas Robinson's mom, who had just died. It made it even worse when it was published that she was a single mom, and Thomas found out from his 9-year-old sister. This behavior is intolerable and really hit home because I remember how I felt when our CU quarterback Sal Aunese died of cancer and a baner on a Nebraska dorm room read "Sal is dead, Go Big Red." Beyond the sports rivalry, I have never felt quite right about Nebraska since then. I want you to know that I respect KU. As a CU alumnus, I would like to personally apologize to the University of Kansas and to Thomas Robinson for this behavior for which there is no excuse. I don't want you to even think for a moment that this incident represents the CU I know, or that we stand more for athletics than the plight of individual families. Please let me know where I can make a contribution to this family.

Student shares experience 7,500 miles away from home He was sitting on a chair,looking at the streets through the window. The noisy bar and the dance floor next to him meant nothing. His face was different, different from all the others in the room. He was worried and a little bored. That night was in 2009 on the last day of the international student orientation. I was walking back to my seat from the dance floor in the Chateau. After a stressful one-week orientation, we all needed a break. I was surrounded by people I met during the orientation. The air was filled with excitement, not about going out, but about beginning a new page in our life: a new page in a new country. I looked around the room, and I saw him, one of my Chinese friends. I don't remember his name, but that moment remains in my memory. I was ambitious, full of hope just like all the other international students in that room. I had prepared very long for this. Now, in a couple of days, I would be studying with other American students in the same classroom, learning their culture and enjoying the open academic environment here. He looked back at me, the look from his eyes pulled me back to reality. Was I ready to live with other students who may have difficulties relating to my life? Was I ready not to see my parents for at least half a year? Was I ready to leave all of my friends behind? And, was I ready for the fact that most of them would lose contact with me eventually? 中国科学院大学 材料工程学院 BY KIRK WU kwu@kansan.com I quickly moved my thoughts away from those questions. I already made the choice. There was no going back. Busy with my academic program, I have not been back to my country for one and half years. When I look at myself in the dance room that night, I feel much older. It doesn't make sense to me that little over a year could do this much, but it did. Now, I speak English and think in English. Sometimes, I get too used to the way of life here. But every time I watch the sunrise, it reminds me that in that direction — 7,500 miles away — is my home. The international community is a very important part of the student population here on campus. I will be presenting our lives to you this semester in my column. I want to act as a bridge between both communities, and I hope understanding and friendships will be formed. Wu is a sophomore in mechanical engineering from Nanjing, China.

Vote now at KANSAN.COM/POLLS HUMOR Obama's death wish not going as planned It was expected to be a breeze,but President Barack Obama has not been able to get the one item on his personal docket done — an item that he has been trying to pass since before his election: Death by Presidency. When I asked a man who had thoughts on the situation what his thoughts were on the situation, he said, "Most likely we're just becoming a less racist country as we move more towards a global society. We are becoming used to different kinds of people from different backgrounds, and I think President Obama is living proof of that." Unable to muster the courage to do it himself, he screamed, "You'll never take me alive!" as he sprinted toward the presidential election, feeling confident that he would never see the end. PIV 130D KU GORE asked another man.

Obama's election campaign even "leaked" that he might not be born in the U.S., which was expected to be the tipping point for extremists. It was further helped by the fact that Obama was born in the faraway and mystical, yet somehow U.S.-owned, land of Hawaii. However, his campaign coordinators did not take into account the call-in radio shows, blogs and loss of 1950s stocism that now allow the population to vent all their anger. Without the need to contain everything until it boiled over, everyone merely However, it might not be blogs that are keeping Obama safe, or even his security staff.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think my name would be hanging up there," Simien said before a packed Allen Fieldhouse during halftime of Saturday's 90-66 victory against Kansas State. "It was never a goal of mine; it was never a dream of mine. But as I see it there now, it's still unbelievable." With his wife Katie, daughters Selah and Rael and son Simon in the stands, and with former teammate Aaron Miles behind them, Simien's jersey number "23" was retired, forever etched in the history of Kansas basketball. MEN'S BASKET From 2002-2005, Simien played for Williams for two years and coach Bill Self for another two years. At Kansas, Simien scored 1,593 points and logged 884 rebounds, good for 13th and 7th all time at Kansas respectively. He was the 2005 Big 12 Player of the Year, a two time All-American and a Lowe's Senior CLASS Award recipient, which is given to the top senior basketball player in the nation. He was a part of two Final Four teams, including a loss to Syracuse in the 2003 national championship game, and one Elite Eight team. and one East Side biggler. He was selected by the Miami Heat as the 29th pick overall in the 1st round of the 2005 NBA draft. Despite playing sparingly in the 2005-2006 season, the Heat won the NBA title and Simien received a championship ring. However during his speech on Saturday, he said that he wanted to be remembered not simply for his accolades on the hardwood. The former Jayhawk forward grew up in Leavenworth, rooted for the Jayhawks as a kid and attended basketball camps in Lawrence. Former Kansas sports broadcaster Max Falkenstein, who introduced Saturday's ceremony, said Simien was an easy recruit for coach Roy Williams. COMMENTARY I really hope my legacy here will be not just someone who grabbed a bunch of rebounds or scored a bunch of points," Simien said. "But I hope that I will be remembered as someone whose life was miraculously transformed by Jesus Christ."

According to its website, Called To Greatness is "honored to teach young athletes to live and compete for Jesus." Simien also works on the University of Kansas as a religious advisor and mentor of student- athlete development. At one moment on Saturday he stumbled to formulate his words. He used Allen Fieldhouse as his platform to further express his faithful gratitude and his sincere thanks to his many fans. He also acknowledged the reality that more jersey numbers will be retired at the Fieldhouse in the future. "This is Kansas," Simien said. "There's going to be plenty more All-Americans that walk through that tunnel." But the future stars of the Phog may struggle to compete with the words laid out by Falkenstein.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 2011 / SPORTS 9A TRACK Jayhawks finish with 12 titles Individuals earned eight wins as the team swept all four relays Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN Distance runner Kyra Kilwien tries to pass her opponent from South Florida to gain the lead. Kilwien finished second in the woman's one mile with a time of 5:01.69. BY ALEC TILSON KANS 3 519 SOUTH FLORIDA 713 Classic atilson@kansan.com When freshman sprinter Diamond Dixon took her mark for the women's 400-meter race at the layhawk Classic on Friday, it was no secret that a former Olympian lined up a few feet away. Dixon battled alumnus and Beijing 2008 Olympic Games spinner Nickesha Anderson the entire way but crossed the finish line four one-hundredths of a second behind. Second place, but also the second fastest time in school history. "Diamond showed her a lot of respect at the beginning of the race," coach Stanley Redwine said, "but with someone that good you have to show that respect." Twenty-six schools competed inside Anschutz Sports Pavilion where the Kansas' Track and Field team took home eight individual titles and placed first in all four relay events. Sophomore spinner Denesha Morris won the 60-meter dash for the third time this season. Her time of 7.47 was a personal best and third fastest time in school history. She later ran the third leg for the winning 4x400 relay team with Dixon, senior Kendra Bradley and sophomore Taylor Washington. All-American junior Rebeka Stowe won the women's 3000-meter race, followed closely by senior Amanda Miller. It was the first time this season Stowe ran the event. Sophomore Kyte Clemons won the men's 400-meter event in 48.27. He too ran the event for the first time this season. In the 600-meter race senior Keron Toussaint looked strong for the men. Still, his first place time of 1:21.18 left him hungry. "I really liked my time," Toussaint said. "Of course I would have liked to run faster but that's what it is like in every race." The men finished first and second in the mile race. Freshman Josh Munsch took first, less than five seconds ahead of redshirt sophomore Austin Bussing. The two would team up later to take first in the distance medley relay along with freshman Brendan Soucie and sophomore Sean Proehl. For the women, sophomore Kyra Kilwein took second in the mile run. Also impressive were senior Nick Caprario and freshman Dalen Fink. Caprario blew away the field in the 3000 meter run. He finished 19 seconds over the next runner. Fink brought home the victory in the 800-meter run. In the 4x400 relay, freshman Nicholas Seckfort, sophomore Derrick Perry, junior Isaac Bradshaw and freshman Alex Hermes took first. All in all, Redwine liked what he saw. "I thought we ran really well as a team," he said. "We're continuing to get better week by week and we are very excited with what happened today. Inside the track on Ray Evans Field, freshman thrower Jessica Maroszek won the shot put competition. Sophomore thrower Mason Finley, who posted an NCAA season high in shot put last week, didn't participate and said he was just hanging out. The team will compete in the NewBalanceCollegiateInvitational in New York on Feb. 4 and 5. After four consecutive meets at home, the team will not race in Lawrence again until the Kansas Relays, an outdoor event in April. — Edited by Corey Thibodeaux Find more track photos online at kansan.com/galleries Arrow WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Women's basketball falls into foul trouble BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com The women's basketball team lost its fifth straight game, 65-60 to Kansas State Saturday. The Jayhawks have lost six of their last seven games to Kansas State. Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis fell into foul trouble early and was able to play just 19 minutes of the game. Davis entered the game as Kansas' leading scorer, averaging 17.5 points per game, but was called for two quick fouls and did not score in the first half. Davis ended the game with just nine points and one rebound. "It was tough to sit on the bench that long. I tried to stay in the game by cheering my teammates on," Davis said in a press release. The Jayhawks had to count on senior forward Kristen Boogaard to make up the minutes lost by Davis while she was on the bench. Red shirt freshman forward Tania Jackson was also called upon to take up some of Davis' minutes while she was on the bench. Boogaard scored eight points for the lavhawks. "I was helping Krysten (Boogaard) and coaching her. I knew coming out in the second half I was fresh and I knew I had to come out and be the player I had to be for my team," Davis said in a press release. Fouls affected the whole team. Kansas' leading scorer, sophomore guard Monica Engelman, and Jackson also fouled out of the game. Engleman scored 18 points in the game. "Boges (Krysten Boogaard) came in and gave us three for five which helps and we still tried to run some things for her. We go back to Monnie (Monica Engleman) a little bit and some screening action for her and we get Tania (Jackson) in a post-up once," coach Bonnie Henrickson said in a press release. Despite solid contributions from the bench,the Jayhawks could not overcome the absence of Davis. "A big chunk of the play card is her primary look and her secondary looks but that happens and we have got to learn from it and she will learn from that and not get into foul trouble. That is a helpless feeling having to sit there and do nothing. She had some teammates around her that stepped up and tried to hold on until she got back into the game," Henrickson said in a press release. - Edited by Becca Harsch MEN'S BASKETBALL Coaches lace up to fight cancer BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/kansnball The events of this past week have shown that there is more to life than basketball. Last weekend it was the death of Thomas Robinson's mother. This weekend was another glimpse into the meaning of "something bigger." Not only did Robinson return to Kansas' lineup, but also, coaches across the country laced up their gym shoes against cancer. It was part of Coaches vs. Cancer's annual Suits and Sneakers weekend. "Everybody wore sneakers and I thought mine matched my suit tonight." Self said. The coaches and their staff were encouraged to wear sneakers for the support of cancer awareness. Former Missouri coach Norm Stewart started the Coaches vs. Cancer in 1993 after surviving colon cancer. "Coaches for Cancer, it's a cool deal, because, obviously Coach Stewart had as much to do with the beginning of it as anybody," Self said. "But to be a part of something that has affected so many is always a good thing." The Coaches vs. Cancer Mission (from the National Association of Basketball Coache website): To increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living among students, faculty, school staff, fans, and the community at large, through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs. On Saturday, coach Bill Self and Kansas State coach Frank Martin were two of the many coaches across the country who participated. Martin said it is huge for him to be a part of something like this. "Cancer's that dreaded evil," Martin said. "We've been trying as a society, across the world, to fight it and overcome it and we've made tremendous progress, but every other incredible disease that's existed, we've found a cure for." According to the American Cancer Society, there were 1,529,560 new cases of cancer in the United States in 2010. It reported that 13,550 of the cases were in Kansas. Self said Coaches vs. Cancer helps people because it brings attention to the disease. Martin agrees and wants to use his position in college basketball to bring light to cancer. "I can tell you as coaches we're competitors and we are very united in trying to do everything that we can because of the stage that we live on. [We're committed] to do everything we can to fight that thing." Martin said. - Edited by Sean Tokarz Don's Auto Center Certified Technicians College Approved Lawrence's local repair shop | 11th & Haskell | 841-4833 KITCHEN Apartments as low as $449 WASHER / DRYER INDOOR BASKETBALL COURT FITNESS CENTER FREE TANNING CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST COMPUTER LAB CAMPUS COURT AT NAISMITH 1301 W 24TH ST 785-842-5111 lemon bliss spa tanning | body treatments | massage Nail Specials Tanning Specials $20 spa manicure (reg. $30) $35 spa pedicure (reg. $45) One month unlimited level1 $25 level2 $45 level3 $65 Two weeks unlimited level 1 $15 level 2 $30 level 3 $45 2 Hours FREE jet parking with spa purchase 1200 Oread Ave Guide The Oread) 785 830 3908 Discovering Pluto Celebrating Kansan CLYDE TOMBAUGH and the discovery of Pluto Discovering Pluto Celebrating Kansan CLYDE TOMBAUGH and the discovery of Pluto An Evening with MICHAEL BYERS Author of Percival’s Planet - A Novel Thursday, February 3, 2011 6:30 – 9:30 pm » Kansas Union Ballroom 6:30pm Guided Display 7:30pm Presentation begins: Introduction by Steven A.

Fame is man-given, be grateful. Concise is self-given, be careful." John Wooden --- FACT OF THE DAY The 11 three-point attempts against Kansas State ties a season low. — Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many seasons in a row have the now 20-1 Jayhawks won 20 or more games? A: Twenty two. Fredette shoots past competition MORNING BREW You can talk all you want about Kemba Walker or Marcus Morris, but the statistical anomaly of 2011 college basketball season is The 6'2, 195-pound guard from Glens Falls, N.Y., was not highly-toured out of high school. He was a three-star player, according to rivals, and he did not have one scholarship offer from a BCS program. Fredrede is shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 43.4 percent from the three-point line. He has not been shying away from taking long-range shots, either. He has taken 164 threes and made 69 of them. Compare that to only 108 threes taken by Tyrel Reed, who is shooting at 38 percent this season. The senior at BYU is putting up Stephen Curry-esque numbers for the Cougars this season. Fredette is playing 34.2 minutes a game and averaging 27.6 points a game. The amazing thing about Fredette's numbers are the field goal percentages he has, to go along with the large number of points he has been scoring. PRESENTED BY It now appears "The Jimmer" has fully caught the eye of ESPN and the media. The Thursday morning headline under the ESPN home page for NCAA Basketball read "The Aztecs get Jimmered." Fredette has also been blowing up on twitter.com, and Sports Illustrated writer Seth Davis recently joked about Fredette's amazing ability, saying, "The Jimmer doesn't flush toilets, he simply scares the crap out of them." Sportscaster Dick Vitale was more serious when he posted his tweet on twitter.com, saying. "Get the PoY trophy 4 Jimmer-Fredette time vs San Diego St @RealJayWIlliam 43 baby!" BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Translation: Jimmer Fredrete deserves the Player of the Year award after his 43-point performance against #4 San Diego State. In a game BYU won against Arizona earlier in the season, , Fredette finished with 33 points and nine rebounds. Against Utah, who has been struggling this season, Fredette put up an impressive 47 points and had six assists. And recently, when the one-loss Cougars knocked off undefeated San Diego State, Jimmer contributed 43 points to the BYU victory. It's hard to disagree with Mr. Vitale. Sorry Kemba, but Fredde has been putting on one hell of a show. It's one thing to put up these incredible numbers against some of the lesser competition BYU faces, but "The Jimmer" has been saving his best performances for the Cougar's biggest games. After watching Fredette's mesmerizing performance against San Diego State, NBA star Kevin Durant also chimed in on the compelling game. "Jimmer Fredette is the THE MORNING BREW best scorer in the world!!," Durant said on twitter.com so this is a warning in advance for Jayhawk Nation:if the Jayhawks happen to face off against the Cougars in the tourney, Fredette could and most certainly would create some major issues for the Jayhawks. Yes, the Jayhawks have good defenders to throw at Fredette, like Tyshawn Taylor and Brady Morningstar, but the Jayhawks have given up big points to guards throughout the year. Texas guard JCovan Brown had 23 points against Kansas, and Iowa State guard Diante Garrett had 27. If the Jayhawks want to go far in the tourney this year, they better either hope they don't face BYU, or learn how to shut down strong guards. Jimmer Fredette is the best player in the country, and he will most certainly create major problems for all of his opponents from here on out. — Edited by Amanda Sorell right-hand of each page. Pressing the button brings Mr. Vitale right to the hands of children. "Give me a high five baby!" the book sounds as he pressed the button for a demonstration. He says it is really important to have the right attitude when beginning to read, and he feels his book will give kids that attitude. He soon plans on having a motivational book for 7 to 12 year-olds that will address the importance of pride and passion in life. These qualities can be seen on his face and beard in his voice whenever he talks. Not just about basketball, but anything under the sun. "What I do is small on the scale of importance of life," he said before getting called by producers for his ESPN spot, "but what I do, I do to the best of my ability. I do it with my heart and my spirit." VITALE (CONTINUED FROM 12A) That's who he is, fitting that this is the man behind the voice. Back to what he came to Lawrence for. Basketball. A rivalry. Easy subject to transition to for him. He not only has called games for years, but he was a successful college and professional coach and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in 2008. Although he didn't have a prediction for the game on Saturday, he did relate to someone else's opinion of the Sunflower Showdown. "Lately you almost have to agree with Tyshawn Taylor when he said 'Where's our rivalry?' To me, you gotta win your share of games, I mean for a rivalry fan wise, excitement, yes, but scoring wise it's been all Kansas." He must know what he is talking about. Kansas outsides scored Kane After he had finished his dinner, some of it ending up on his shirt being that he was in a rush, he began talking with some friends who had come to town for the game. He told them they were really going to enjoy this place--Allen Field-house--as he was slowly corralled out of the room by producers. sas State by 24 points.

Saturday marked the fourth time Allen Fieldhouse hosted College GameDay in the show's seven-year history. WWW.KANSAN.COM STANDING TALL Robinson returns in style Jayhawks win big in extra special game' against Wildcats Saturday BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Wayne Simien, arguably the best post player in Kansas history not named Wilt Chamberlain, saw his jersey hung in the rafters at halftime Saturday night. How fitting, then, that it was Kansas' current post players, at least one of whom has an excellent chance of hanging his own jersey in those rafters someday, that carried the torch for Kansas in a 90-66 shellacking of rival Kansas State. KANSAS 0 STATE 1 And as good as the Morris twins were — very good: 30 points on 12-of-16 shooting and 18 rebounds — Saturday was once again about Thomas Robinson. But this time it was about his presence on the court just as much as the tumult he endured off of it. "This was an extra special game," coach Bill Self said, "not because it was K-State, but because it was the first game that he's had an opportunity to really play for his mother." "I know my mother wouldn't want me to sit around crying forever." "That was a special deal for him," Self said. "And of course the fans here are incredible, how they recognized him when he checked in and how they recognized him when he checked out. That's a special moment. That's one that he'll never forget." It was unclear whether Robinson would even play until late Thursday night, but somehow, after losing his mother Lisa and both his maternal grandparents, he played. Then, sporting a black and white "LR" patch on his left shoulder, he put on the performance of his career, finishing with 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting and nine boards. After struggling in the early going, missing a dunk and a couple shots from in close, Robinson found his range early in the second half. With four points on two consecutive possessions five minutes after the half, Robinson jacked up an 18-footer — he called it a "heat check" — which under normal circumstances would have found him deeply enconced on the bench shortly after. But Saturday wasn't normal, so when the heat check went in, Self laughed it off, like he laughed off the technical Robinson picked up after hanging on the rim too long after a dunk. "I played tonight because I can't sit around for too long." Robinson said. "I know my mother wouldn't want me to sit around crying forever." Collectively, it was the best THOMAS ROBINSON Kansas forward performance of the season, especially considering that Kansas State's front- court, even after all Wildcats' struggles, is regarded as one of the best in the Big 12. For Kansas to lay down a 24-point beating, it took a near-perfect effort from the Morris twins and Thomas Robinson. And near perfect is what they gave. Aside from the dominant offensive performance, the Jayhawks frontcourt stifled the Wildcat posts, who totaled just 15 points among the four of them. "Our bigs were really good," Self said. Edited by Corey Thibodeaux Sophomore forward Thomas Robinson attempts a layup against the Wildcats. Robinson shot 7-11, scoring 17 total points Saturday night. Kansas women sliding fast in Big 12 play BY KATHLEEN GIER kqier@kansan.com Kansas played much of the game without sophomore forward Carolyn Davis who ran into early foul trouble with no points and two fouls at the end of the first half. She has been leading the Jayhawks in scoring this season. K-STATE 2 pepsi Sophomore Monica Engelman "It was tough to sit on the bench that long." Davis said in the post-game press conference. stepped up and scored 18 points to lead Kansas in this game. Sophomore guard Brittany Chambers faces off with a KU defender. The Women's Basketball team beat Kansas 65-60 Saturday, Jan. 29, in Bramlage Collisseum. PAGE 12A Fouls doomed the Jayhawks as three players fouled out and the Wildcats were allowed 30 attempts at the free-throw line. Without a significant inside game, the jayhawks never led the game and claimed a season low in defensive rebounds. In a rivalry game on the road, Kansas continued their five-game slide with a 65-60 loss to Kansas State University. Kansas fell to 14-7 on the season and 1-6 in conference play. Engelman had a strong game overall, pulling down five rebounds and adding two assists. Engelman kept the Jayhawks in the game with consistency on both sides of the floor with 8-11 shooting. Kansas, only recorded 11 turnovers, the lowest in the last 13 games. This is an issue the Jayhawks have been working on all season and are finally starting to see results. Davis The Jayhawks were aggressive in a game where they established an eight-player rotation and all eight players scored at least one basket in a 45.3 percent effort from field goal range. ANNA "I feel like I stayed pretty confident in my teammates and I feel like for myself I stepped up," Engelman said after the game. "I did not feel like there was any burden for me to score." "I felt like we made some progress from a couple of standpoints and competing in the long run," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "I think that we learned to do our job and embrace our rolls." Next game, Kansas will host Colorado on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The Jayhawks garnered their only conference victory against the Buffaloes in Boulder. - Edited by Emily Soetaert PROFILE Vitale's heart is bigger than his voice BY NICO ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com Dick Vitale, "Dickie V", or as one of his friends pronounced it "Vi-ta-ley," like an Italian word for vitality (actually vitalità), returned to Lawrence on Saturday to commentate the Kansas vs. Kansas State game. More specifically, he returned to Allen Fieldhouse where b- Entering the room, there was not a person who didn't receive a greeting. Strong handshake, a warm, somewhat loud, "Hey how are ya!" in a voice instantly recognizable not for its clarity or sharpness, but for its rough, three-days-of-yelling without-a-drink-of-water quality. Vitale TRUMBLE reveled in the spirit and atmosphere that he calls a "top five" venue in the country (he doesn't like to rank these things). "i still get goose bumps in this place when they start that Rock Chalk chant." Vitale said after likening Allen Field House to other hallmark sports facilities like Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. He said the passion that comes from the city of Lawrence as a whole for the University makes it one of the few true college towns in his opinion. Although his trips through Lawrence are normally packaged like the chicken dinner he was hustling to eat before appearing on ESPN for his pre-game analysis--everything is pre-planned and organized to a T--he is reminded every time he goes home about his trips to Lawrence. Imagine, Vitale joined ESPN in 1979 and called the first ever college basketball game televised on the network. College basketball, along with its passion, has always been accompanied with Vitale's voice on ESPN. rence. Sitting just to the right of his desk in his home office sits a two-foot-tall bronze statue of a Jayhawk. He was surprised with this gift at halftime of a Kansas game three years ago.

"The day comes I don't have that excitement for sitting here and being courtside, nobody is going to have to tell me, I'll wake up that one morning, grab the phone, call my boss, party's over." But for now, he's never been better. He said he could match the energy of any young fan in the stands of Allen Fieldhouse. His passion, his life's work, has now also turned into a way to reach out to people. He touches the country giving motivational speeches and his message is simple. Passion is the key to success. "If you are passionate about what you do, good things are going to happen," he said. And he's not slowing down. One of the things Vitale has been fervent about is his contributions and role with raising money for pediatric cancer research and the V Foundation for Cancer Research, named after legendary North Carolina coach, Jim Valvano. Last year Vitale published "Dickie V's ABC's and 1-2-3's". Proceeds from the children's book designed to give kids a fun start with reading go to the F Foundation. He was happy to go through the book filled with illustrations and a bright orange basketball with a button in it on the top SEE VITALE ON PAGE 11A
