The main threat of winter weather was predicted to begin Monday night, according to an afternoon City of Lawrence media release. The heaviest snowfall is expected to occur today with wind gusts of up to 40 mph and a windchill as low as 19 degrees below zero. "I know this storm has the potential to outdo the last couple of storms," said Matt Anderson, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Topeka. He said Lawrence last saw a foot of snow March 16, 1960. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for Douglas County set to expire 6 a.m. Wednesday. Driving conditions have worsened as light rain continued to fall Monday morning. Street maintenance crews for the City of Lawrence began working 24-hour shifts at midnight Monday morning, according to the press release. Crews pretreated all roads in Lawrence and are now focused on keep the main roads clear. "The high winds, coupled with the frigidly cold temperatures that are expected, will make this a difficult event," said Tom Orzulak, street division manager, in the press release. "Despite this, our crews are prepared, our equipment is ready, and we're ready to utilize all of the city's resources to battle the snow." Orzulak said KU students should move their cars off the roads if possible and take the bus instead of driving. Students waiting on busses should expect delays as conditions continue to worsen, said Danny Kaiser, assistant director of Parking and Transit. Kansas State University is closed and classes are not being held, according to its website. Though KU professors have cancelled individual classes. University officials have not made an announcement regarding cancellations. According to the University's winter weather policy, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little or the provost and the executive vice chancellor have the option of cancelling classes later in the day if they have not made a decision by 5:30 a.m. Cancellations will be announced via the inclement weather line after 6 a.m. (864-SNOW), the KU homepage and campus alerts website. Students who signed up for emergency text messages will also be notified via text. "University officials will be monitoring the weather throughout the day, including road conditions on bus routes," said Jill Jess, a spokeswoman for University Relations. Classes were last cancelled on Feb. 21, 2008. Classes have been cancelled 11 times since 1978 for weather-related incidents, according to KU Relations. Snow Plow Edited by Danielle Packer Trucks prepare for 12 inches of snow Monday night. KU Landscape and Construction's skill trained supervisor, Marvin Weiman says that the trucks and machines are always ready to go when the situation calls for it. ADMINISTRATION Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN QA with new KU athletics director Sheahon Zenger I'll be there. BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com Editor's note: Today is the first official day in office for Sheahon Zenger, the University's new athletics director. Zenger sat down with The Kansan last week. The University Daily Kansan: The University Daily Raisers: What would you like to say to the student population about what you intend to do in this position? Shaaen Zenger discusses his new position at Kansas and settles in to his new office in Wagnon Student Athletic Center late last month. Zenger will officially begin as the new athletics director Feb. 1st. Sheahon Zenger: I think we have one of the greatest student bodies in the nation. The support in Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium — the spirit that has always been at this institution — is unmatched. Secondly, I want to get out amongst the students, sooner than later. Student government groups, living groups, living organizations, whatever the groups may be and just get to know you and hear you and see how we can make it an even greater relationship and experience for the students. Adam Buhler/KANSAN 'We are going to do this?' I think it is important for me to come in and listen and find out what the desires of the student body are and sit down with the staff here and match up with what has been done in the past and what can be done in the future. That is what I have done in the past and that is what I would like to do here. I am very slow to come in with mandates and say we are going to do this and this and this. Those mandates may not fit the place that you are coming to. Kansan: What more can you tell us about your plans for your time in office? Zenger: It would be kind of arrogant of me to come in and say, Kansan: How do you feel that the athletics department should complement the academics of the University? in? And how do you plan to dig out the department as well as make sure the corruption previously present doesn't happen again? SZ: I have to be a little careful until I am officially on the job. I have been briefed on some of the scenarios and will be given much more when information in the ensuing weeks. I need to review the files and the information and do not want to do anything to overstep my bounds with regard to what is going on at the state or federal levels. At the same time, a day-by-day approach to gathering information, communicating with the student body and ensuring that accountability (is key). Until you get to know the staff and the campus and how structures are set up, it would be arrogant of me to say we are going to do this and this and this. It is something that we are going to have to work on as an athletics department, as a university community, central administration and the governing board, the advisory committee. Kansan: There has been the ongoing issue with ticket scandal crisis. We'd like to know, just how much trouble is the athletics department Zenger: At the institution that I just left, many of my colleagues and friends were the faculty. I like to spend my free time with and be around the deans and professors. I enjoy the intellectual discourse that goes on on a college campus. That is something that I hope the rest of our staff, our coaches and our student athletes would enjoy as well. It's first and foremost in your college experience. Kansan: You are widely regarded as being a manager for whom ethics is a primary concern. But how exactly do you make sure everyone under you has the same standards? Zenger: Well, I think you set a tone, you set a philosophy from day one as to what you believe in and what you want others to believe in. In those first few months, people align themselves with that and once that happens, you go forward again working with those individuals. You have to believe in people and trust them and give them their ability to do their jobs and do them well. And I think there are good people around here who have been doing their jobs well. Unfortunately, the focus has been on some folks who chose to do it otherwise. And so it is time to bring the individuals and the people who are still here, bring them together along with campus and the governing bodies and get a cohesiveness and within that — structures of accountability.

Casey Briner is the coalition's presidential nominee and Josh Dean is the vice presidential nominee. The two were formerly in different coalitions but Dean decided to approach Briner to start a new coalition. "I had seen her at so many meetings and group events, and she was always very impressive. It made perfect sense for her to be our nominee for president." Dean said. Briner said she was initially hesitant to take on such a large responsibility. "Then I realized the problems we were addressing are serious and I know I will do the work to get it done. I sincerely care," Briner said. Briner, Dean and the Renew KU coalition want to increase transparency in Student Senate spending, increase the Senate's presence at the University and increase voter turnout. Justin Hitt is the campaign manager for Renew KU. Hitt says he wants a 40 percent voter turnout. "I know our goal is aggressive.

WORLD Egypt attempts TV closure ASSOCIATED PRESS DUBA1, United Arab Emirates The pan-Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera said Sunday that Egyptian authorities ordered the closure of its Cairo news hub overseeing coverage of the country's massive street protests. The station denounced the move as an attempt to "stifle and repress" open reporting. The Qatar-based network has given nearly round-the-clock coverage to the unprecedented uprising against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and had faced criticism by some government supporters and other Arab leaders as a forum to inspire more unrest. to inspire us. Al-jazera's flagship Arabic channel has faced numerous bans and backlash across the Arab world, including bitter complaints this month from the Palestinian Authority over allegations that its reporting favored rival Hamas over leaked documents about peace talks with Israel. Al-Jazeera headlined in control of media by governments. "In this time of deep turmoil and unrest in Egyptian society, it is imperative that voices from all sides be heard," said the statement from its headquarters in Qatar's capital Doha. "The closing of our bureau by the Egyptian government is aimed at censoring and silencing the voices of the Egyptian people." Al-Jazeera called the Egyptian ban "an act designed to stifle and repress the freedom of reporting by the network and its journalists." The network promised to continue its coverage, but it was unclear in what form. It said Al-Jazeera journalists would provide updates on Twitter. The network had previously posted clips from broadcasts on YouTube. The station broadcast video "An act designed to stifle and repress freedom of reporting by the network and its journalists." also broadcasts in English But the ban by Egyptian officials comes amid one of the most pivotal Arab political showdowns in decades and a possible watershed moment for Arab networks expanding their presence on the web and social media. The blanket coverage offers another example of how border-spanning outlets such as Al-jazeera and the worldwide reach of the Internet have destroyed the once-unchallenged AL-JAZEERA Descriptions of the scenes from Tahir Square and other locations in Egypt were phoned in to the channel's studio in Doha by correspondents. It did not identify them — presumably to protect them from authorities. clips tagged as "live" showing crowds in Cairo's central Tahrir Square, but they appeared to be from fixed rooftop cameras and were not accompanied by reports directly from Egypt. It was unclear how Egypt's ban would affect such shots; the view from the fixed camera continued after night fell in Cairo. Al-jazeera said the government shut off the channel's signal from authorities. an Egyptian satellite. Egyptians with satellite dishes could adjust them to point to other satellites beaming the Al-jazeera signal, but that is not easy to do. In recent days, the channel gave viewers the coordinates to make the change. In contrast, at least one Egyptian state TV channel late Saturday and early Sunday started broadcasting soothing pharaonic pictures, shots of the tranquil Nile River and greenery after ending a newscast in which they listed the areas where thugs were active in Cairo. It also was not immediately clear whether Egypt's ban would extend to other Arab broadcasters, such as Dubai-based Al-Arabiya. Egypt has moved aggressively to try to control cell phones and the web since protests swelled late last week, inspired by the uprising in Tunisia that drove its long-ruling leader from power. Egyptian authorities cut cell phones and web links in tactics that mirrored the information choke-hold imposed by Iran's security forces in the chaos after last year's disputed elections. "The shutting down of Al-Jazeera is a brazen violation of the fundamental right of Egyptians to receive information as their country is in turmoil," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, Middle East and North Africa program coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists. "The international community should prevail upon President Mubarak to lift this censorship immediately." Anti-government riots also have spread to Yemen, where President Ali Abdullah Saleh said the tone of Al-Jazeera's coverage incited "unrest, violence and sabotage in the Arab countries." POLITICS CHICAGO — Gov. Pat Quinn, saying it was a "day of history", signed legislation Monday legalizing civil unions for gay and lesbian couples, making Illinois one of about a dozen states that extend significant legal protections to same-sex couples. Illinois legalizes civil unions About 1,000 people crowded into the Chicago Cultural Center to watch Quinn, a Democrat, sign the measure that supporters call a matter of basic fairness and opponents decry as a threat to the sanctity of traditional marriage. ASSOCIATED PRESS The law, which takes effect June 1, gives gay and lesbian couples official recognition from the state and many of the rights that accompany traditional marriage, including the power to decide medical treatment for an ailing partner and the right to inherit a partner's property. Five states already allow civil unions or their equivalent, according to the Human Rights "We believe in civil rights and we believe in civil unions", Quinn said before signing the bill to a roar of cheers and applause. Campaign. Five other states and Washington, D.C., let gay couples marry outright, as do some countries, including Canada, South Africa and the Netherlands. Africa and the Illinois law will continue to limit marriage to one man and one woman, and civil unions still are not recognized by the federal government. The measure doesn't require churches to recognize civil unions or perform any kind of ceremony, but critics fear it will lead to other requirements, such as including same-sex couples in adoption programs run by religious groups or granting benefits to employees' partners. The legislation, sent to Quinn in December, passed 61-52 in the Illinois House and 32-24 in the Senate. senate. "Illinois is taking an historic step forward in embracing fairness and extending basic dignity to all couples in our state," John Knight, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Project of the ACLU of Illinois, said in a written statement issued hours before the bill-signing.

EXTRA THE EXCLUSIVE MORALS IN GOLD MANDATORY LAWRENCE POLICE Kate Meyer, curatorial assistant for prints and drawings at the museum, said the idea for the exhibit stemmed from a broad university-based collaboration. "The University came out with the idea a month or two ago when several instructors requested everyone share their resources in African-American history, which could be useful for many classes." Cheryl Lester, an American studies professor who has used the teaching gallery for her classes, appreciates that the museum offers such a program. "Knowledgeable and dedicated professionals at SMA (Spencer Museum of Art) make it feasible for instructors to use the art and photography collections as rich and important resources for teaching." Lester said. "Encouraging students to visit the SMA by creating links to their classroom studies enriches student learning."

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 hands-on 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. Breery, said homebrewing could be a creative outlet for students. "If you're going to drink beer, you might as well drink something you made yourself," Brickell said. and simpler ingredient, as opposed to raw grains. Rich Greenwood, another Lawrence homebrewer, compared the two ingredient options to baking. 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 "It's kind of like buying cookie dough as opposed to making the ingredients itself," Greenwood said. "Obviously, it's way easier to buy the cookie dough, but it costs more than buying the flour, sugar and chocolate chips." 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 getting knowledge."

My roommates think they are getting away with being d-bags (have fun driving to class with no air in your tires). Are you going to AfterDark? Wayne Simien is! I ice-skated down my driveway this morning — that is reason enough to cancel classes, come on KU! I'm really cold and my nipples are getting hard!!! I'm really warm and my penis is getting big!!

When I search his name and see words like "3D" "belieber," "biopic" and "more acting plans;" I "bieb" myself confused and sad, as I assume many of us would. What's up with Justin Bieber's (3-D) biographical movie? Why? We ask weakly. Why is this happening? We might be tempted to blame the subject himself and hate him a little, or a lot, for the tremendous gap we perceive between the aesthetic quality of his music/age/appearance and his invasive popularity. But that is misguided. Yes, his whole phenomenon is obnoxious. Remember, though, Bieber is fresh out of childhood. He probably has little control over his image and career trajectory. He is just a pawn in the entertainment industry—a rich, irritating pawn. He's got something that people like, so he and his team of brand managers are exploiting the hell out of it. And that's capitalism, kids. Much like the pointless products advertised on late-night infomercials, Bieber continues to exist only because people continue PETER J. HARRIS BY ALI FREE afree@kansan.com to buy. The movie is being made because many people will see it. In other words, it's not him. It's us. When America stops caring, so will his managers.

INTERNATIONAL Arab people need help and support for change of power Will the tidal wave of protests in the Arab world wipe the region's most automatic regimes? In the weeks since the self-immolation of Mohammad Bouazizi, touched off mass demonstrations and prompted the ouster of Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, numerous commentators have been posing that provocative question. And no wonder. While WikiLeaks cables released last year indicated mounting unease with the out-of-touch Ben Ali and his family, few predicted that the president of 23 years faced imminent overthrow. Who's to say Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, Yemen's Ali Abdullah Saleh, Libya's Muammar el-Qaddafi or even Jordan's King Abdullah aren't next? Call it the domino theory of Arab democratization. Once discontented citizens of an authoritarian nation see that it's possible to get rid of the most entrenched of incumbents, they'll take to the streets and hold their leaders' feet to the fire. The outbreak of rallies last week against Mubarak seemed to bolster this view. While many Egyptians have long resented their president's usurpation of power and suffocation of dissent, which lead to large demonstrations against his American-supported, 30-year-old regime, it's hard to argue that the latest protests would have happened without Tunisia's Jasmine Revolution. Tunisian activists emboldened Egyptians across the political spectrum - from the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood to secular opposition leader Mohammad El-Bardei. Aided by Facebook and Twitter - the same social networking sites crucial to organizing Tunisian protestors - Mubarak's opponents are showing they've had it with censorship, imprisonment and secrecy. Catherine L. Cavalleri BY LUKE BRINKER lbrinker@kansan.com After all, activists aren't the only ones drawing lessons from Tunisia. Autocratic rulers took note: change must be made. But for Mubarak and other Arab autocrats, change will likely mean beefed-up crackdowns, So what distinguishes uprisings in Egypt and Yemen from Iran's Green Revolution of 2009, which offered hopes for a change of power only to see those hopes dashed by brutal repression? house arrests and other Orwellian "security measures." To be sure, cosmetic concessions will be made: witness Mubarak's decision to replace members of his Cabinet. His new ministers will still be accountable to a president whose core conviction is that he must remain in power. And if Mubarak were genuinely committed to addressing his people's concerns, would he be putting leaders like El-Baradei under house arrest? Research by political scientists like the University's Ronald Francisco shows that popular movements are often met with government backlash. Rare is the democracy movement that succeeds. Even those that do - like Iran's Islamic Revolution of 1979 - often descend into the same patterns of authoritarianism against which they arose. When demonstrators took to China's Tiananmen Square in 1989, many thought the protest portended the coming collapse of the Communist power structure. The march of history has not been kind to that kind of democratic triumphalism. The Arab people — with their very legitimate grievances — deserve our solidarity and support. But just as Tiananmen demonstrators and the Iranian Greens failed to topple autocracies, declarations of a new dawn are premature. George W. Bush launched a war in Iraq on the pretext of bringing democracy to the Arab world. While violence there has ebbed, it's still mired in conflict. And just as Saddam's fall didn't create a domino effect, neither will Ben Ali's.

You have 140 characters, good luck! REALLY GAY ADVICE...FOR REALLY STRAIGHT GUYS O kay, pay attention here. If you do not want people to think you're gay, the last Straight men: Don't appear so disgusted with homosexuality think you're gay, the last thing you want to do is tell everyone how much you hate gay people or make habitual faces or grunts when a person talks about anal. Allow me to reveal the logic behind this conditional. An experiment conducted at the University of Georgia involved a survey of 64 college-aged men, all of whom identified as heterosexual and only having heterosexual desires and experiences. The survey asked a series of questions tailored to help researchers divide the group into two camps: homophobic or non-homophobic. The subjects were then put in a room, one at a time, to view both homosexual and heterosexual erotic films. Before the viewing, researchers fixed gauges up to the subjects' penises in order to measure arousal levels. In the group deemed homophobic, tests found that there were a substantial number of high arousal levels during the homoerotic clips, while the nonhomophobic group showed little to no arousal to the same clips. The research concluded that, typically, men who act homophobic are really fighting a battle within themselves and perhaps struggling with their own sexual identities. Thus, if you are the guy at the party making it grossly clear that you enjoy poon-tang—or whatever you people call it—and absolutely despise gay sex, you might be sending just the opposite message, according to empirical evidence. So, how should straight guys act when gav men are present? I am not trying to deter anyone from cracking a good gay joke, quite the contrary.

Laughing about our identities and our friends' identities can be a fun experience, just as long as the people who are being made fun of are aware that it is just that. Of course, I can't speak for all gay men, but I think it's reasonable to assume most of them won't be easily offended by a few jokes, provided the proper tone and facial expressions are used. In short, just use your common sense when making a joke at the expense of a persons' sexuality or other identity. And try to avoid using hateful language and being too theatrical when expressing your disgust with sex between men. That will just demonstrate you're a pathetic closet-case.

"This is the best opportunity for students to see the most employers at Career Center. When students prepare for the career fair, Gaston said it is important to make a plan and perform proper research to strategize which company would be most beneficial to talk to. He also suggests that students manage their time so they can get in front of as many people as possible, be energetic and demonstrate desire for the position.

LAWRENCE Snowstorm fills community shelter Athletic BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com As a storm bringing up to 12 inches of snow and freezing temperatures hits town, some people in Lawrence are still scrambling to find a place to stay. the Lawrence Community Shelter at 214 West 10th Street provides food and housing for those in need. The Shelter is preparing for the blizzard this week by stocking up on food and supplies. "This is the kind of weather that really brings people in," Loring Henderson, director of the Lawrence Community Shelter said. Henderson said that the Lawrence Community Shelter, which can hold 76 people, was already full. Even more people will arrive looking for a place to stay, says Henderson. "We have an overflow arrangement with neighboring churches," Henderson said. The Salvation Army, Plymouth Congregational Church, First United Methodist Church and Trinity Lutheran Church will all open their doors to take the shelter's overflow guests. "My concern is food as much as space." Henderson said. "We have volunteers who bring in food for some of our evening meals. If it's really bad they won't be able to come in ... We may end up serving a bunch of PB and J's." Henderson added that even though food may be short, people were just happy to have a place to stay. Center explained the risks of being exposed to the elements. She said that frostbite, hypothermia, loss of consciousness and, eventually, death could occur if a person were left without proper clothing and shelter for an extended period of time.

Now, Texas Tech is 3-0, Kansas is 2-1 and Bill Self, somehow, still hasn't won in Lubbock, Texas. That's not to say the Jayhawks won't be a double-digit favorite. Kansas is more talented at every spot on the floor, and Pat Knight is not the coach that his legendary father, Bobby, was. The Jayhawks are back at No. 2 in the rankings, and they should stay there after this week. PLAYER TO WATCH COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY Morris Junior forward, Morris is a vital part of Kansas' success, but he has to get better at defending without putting his hands on his man. Foul trouble Marcus Morris BRENDAN RUBER has been an issue for both Morris twins since they came to Kansas. If Marcus isn't on the floor, Kansas loses the key cog in its offense. He's never been more vital to the Jayhawks, which means it's never been more important for him to stay out of foul trouble. QUESTION MARK What's the deal with Bill Self and Lubbock? Romping the Raiders Kansas looks for a win in Lubbock KANSAS VS. TEXAS TECH 8 p.m., UNITED SPIRIT ARENA, Lubbock Seriously, You'd be hard-pressed to argue that Self is not one of the top five coaches in America, but for whatever reason, he hasn't been able to pull out a victory at Texas Tech, which has hardly been a power in the Big 12. Tech has handed Kansas its first conference loss in two of the last three times the Jayhawks visited. The third time, two years ago, The Red Raiders smoked the Jayhawks by 19, handing Kansas its second conference loss of the season. HEARYE, HEARYE "In the next nine days, there's a good chance we will know a lot more about our conference chances." Bill Self after beating Kansas State Taylor PETER J. ROWLEY KANSAS 19-1,(4-1) STARTERS Tvshawn Tavlor. guard A. M. PATTERSON Reed Taylor got after it this past week, having a personal renaissance of sorts. He shot 70 percent from the field and had 22 points in the Jayhawks' last two games. Over the last three games, Taylor had 12 assists against three turnovers. Continuing to keep the ball out of the other team's hands is essential to his NBA prospects. ★★★★☆ Tyrel Reed,guard ALEXANDER M. BROWN Reed has yet to have a lights-out day from the field this season. He's been solid all the way through, but has had only one 50-40- Selby 90 day — 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from the three and 90 percent from the line — and that was against Texas. He's a more effective all-around player, but he's shooting a career-low 37.8 from behind the arc. ★★★☆☆ --- Josh Selby,guard Selby capped a week of bounceback performances with Big 12 Rookie of the Week honors, announced Monday morning. Selby had an unsightly five turnovers in the win against Kansas State, but he was solid otherwise, with 12 points on six shots and four assists. Even if he just does that, minus anything spectacular, it'd be a huge benefit for Kansas. Marcus Morris, forward ★★★☆ Morris actually had a down week in terms of output, but he's been so effective that it's hardly noticeable. He shot 75 percent from the field, averaged 12.5 points and racked in an additional seven rebounds, which helped Kansas go 2-0. However, he didn't play more than 30 minutes in either game because of foul trouble. That's a problem he has to fix. Morris ★★★★ Markiem Morris, forward Markiew was off in Colorado, finishing with just six points on six shots. He was flat-out brilliant against Kansas State, though, finishing with 20 points and nine boards in a dominant effort against the Wildcats. He's been great at staying out of foul trouble lately, which has long been his kryptonite. Markieff Morris. forward TEXAS TECH 14-7,(2-4) STARTERS David Tairu,guard Tairu TEXAS TECH Tairu is averaging nine points a game. He is shooting 33.3 percent from behind the arc. He is one of two starters that has a positive assist/turnover ratio. He is averaging one assist per game and 0.68 turnovers per game. He has 55 rebounds on the season, 19 of them coming on the offensive end. ★★☆☆☆ Roberson TEXAS TECH Roberson is the main ball handler for the Red Raiders. He leads the team with 82 assists, 4.1 per game. He is second with 12.9 points per game. His average of 1.4 steals per game leads the team, although Brad Reese has more total steals. Roberson is the player Texas Tech wants at the line if the game is close at the end. He is shooting 79 percent, a team best for players with 25 attempts. John Roberson, guard ★★★☆☆ Robert Lewandowski, forward WILSON Lewandowski is fourth on the team with 9.3 points per game. His 5.1 rebounds per game put him as second on the team behind Singletary. He is also second on the team with 19 blocks. Lewandowski is averaging one assist per game. Lewandowski has not attempted a TEXAS TECH Lewandowski three pointer this season, and it is highly A. unlikely that he will attempt one tonight. The Red Raiders can't afford to lose Lewandowski because of foul trouble. He has 6 fro the wors Single fouled out three times this season; tonight might be four if the Morris twins and Robinson take it to him. 16 ★★☆★★ Brad Reese,forward Reese is Texas Tech's leading three- point shooter at 44.4 percent. He is third in scoring with 12.4 points per game.He is also third with 4.8 rebounds per game.Reeve is one of the better defenders on this Red Raider team.He leads the team with 22 blocks and 33 steals.Reeve is shooting 76 percent from the free-throw line. TEXASTECH TEXAS STACK Beese ★★★☆★ Mike Singletary, forward ★★★★ Singletary leads the Red Raiders in points, 14.3 per game, and rebounds, 6.2 per game. He is shooting 50.7 percent from inside the arc and 45.6 percent from the field overall. Of the starters, he has the worst free throw percentage, 71.8 percent. Singletary is second with 62 assists. CARPETT 17 Singletary TECH TIPOFF ATAGLANCI — Mike Lavieri Texas Tech is coming off three straight wins in conference and hopes to make it four when Kansas comes to Lubbock tonight. Bill Self hasn't won in Lubbock since he took over in 2004 and Texas Tech coach Pat Knight wants to keep it that way. The Red Raiders have played well in their last three games, but their average margin of victory is only 3.6 points. The Red Raiders are balanced as its five starters are averaging nine points or better a game. Texas Tech's three scorers in double figures average about 10 shots a game. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior forward, Mike Singletary Tim Dwyer Singletary ★★★☆ He is not only a statistical leader for this Texas Tech team, but he is the vocal leader. The one thing the Red Raiders do not want from Singletary is for him to start shooting threes. He is 4-31 (12.9 percent) on the year. If Kansas starts to pull away, Singletary will need to stay composed and continue to score from inside. If he isn't scoring, he will need to get others involved to give the Red Raiders a chance. This Mike Singletary didn't play for the 1985 Super Bowl XX winning Bears; he wasn't even born yet. He is the player that makes this team go. When Singletary is on, the Red Raiders will compete with their opponent. TEXAPTECH QUESTION MARK Can Texas Tech hand Kansas another loss in Lubbock? While Texas Tech has been playing well during the last week, it has not been close in its losses. The Red Raiders lost at home to Baylor by 12, Texas by 21 and on the road to Kansas State by 34 and Oklahoma by nine. Texas Tech will need to play shutdown defense and shoot the ball tremendously well to defeat a Kansas team coming off a 24-point trashing of Kansas State. Kansas has had success all year long while Texas Tech has it against lackluster opponents. A win against the Jayhawks is great for the resume, but it is unlikely to happen. Look for Bill Self to grab his first win in Lubbock. HEARYE, HEARYE — Tyshawn Taylor "When you win three games in a row in this league, you have to be playing pretty pleased. But, then again, when you go back and look at the game, we made some bad mistakes that almost cost us the game. But what they are doing now is that after they make a mistake or someone takes a shot at us, we are able to bounce back. We've talked about it before in press conferences, the bad body language and all that, and that's kind of gone. These guys have fought through these last three games, and that's good."

Pat Knight works that Lubbock voodoo that you do so well. (I'm writing this from the bar at a B.B. King's in Memphis, roll with the blues lyrics). Knight is on a hotter seat than any coach in the country, and a win tonight would do a lot to save his career. His players like him and they know that, so expect them to come out juiced.

B. J. Holmes had 19 points for Texas A&M. Texas made it look easy in this one and even some Texas A&M fans looked to be in awe when Hamilton hit a nifty hook shot from a tough angle that made it 60-36 with about 8 minutes left. Texas never trailed and built a 25-point lead by halftime thanks to hot shooting and their trademark stifling defense. The Aggies outscored the Longhorns by five points in the second half, but the dominant first half kept Texas (19-3, 7-0) undefeated in the Big 12. Texas harassed the Aggies into their worst shooting performance of the season at just under 31 percent and their 17 field goals were one off their season low. The Longhorns have held each of their Bip 12 opponents to 63 points or fewer and two of the last three haven't reached 50. Khris Middleton, who entered the game leading the Aggies in scoring at almost 16 points a game was held scoreless on 0-of-9 shooting with Hamilton guarding him. Texas A&M had trouble on of fense all night, but never was it more pronounced than when Kourtney Roberson tried for a dunk only to see it fall into the net and then pop back out. 1 KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2011 / SPORTS / 9A QUOTE OF THE DAY "Every year we have a good team and since Coach has been here we have been winning the Big 12, but to never win there is very surprising. My freshman year we didn't win there, but we still won the Big 12, so maybe it's just a jinx or something." -Junior forward Marcus Morris on Bill Self never winning in Lubbock, Texas. FACT OF THE DAY The Big 12 is the only conference with every team listed in the top 100 NCAA RPI (Rating Percentage Index). Big12sports.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: What was the record of teams in the top 25 last week? A: 22-20 Kansas Athletics Snow days turn competitive MORNING BREW Winter is a pretty sad time for intramurals here on campus. Sure, there are sports like basketball, ractetball, indoor soccer, and some exotic-sounding sport called Wallyball, but there's really no way to satisfy your competitive spirit in the great outdoors. JOHN KENNEDY But what can you do? It's not like there are any outdoor sports to play in Lawrence — that's just how winter is, right? Wrong. As the 15th Winter X Games demonstrated last week, a little cold and snow is no reason to confine sports to the indoor. In fact, it would be tragic to waste the opportunities that come with glorious snowfall. Now, maybe we don't exactly live in a place like Aspen, Colo., where there are no shortages of winter extreme sports venues. But with a little creativity, this campus could be full of thrilling outdoor competitions that take advantage of blizzard conditions instead of shying away from them. Here are just a few examples of the intramural events that should be happening today. Sidewalk luge: Don't tell me you've never looked at the hill behind Watson Library and imagined taking a tiny sled down the sidewalk. All it would take is a little icing of the sidewalk and wed instantly have a perfect luge run. Start on Jayhawk Boulevard a.d. run all the BY JOEL PETTERSON jpettterson@kansan.com way through the neighborhood to 19th street. The luger who makes it down in the fastest time without hitting any pedestrian wins a coveted intramural champion t-shirt. Campus biathlon: This is more of an Olympic sport, but it'd work great at the University. It's that bizarre competition that combines two completely unrelated skills - skiing and rifle marksmanship - on a long-distance course. Targets could be set up along the length of campus, ending with a thrilling downhill finish. Periods between classes would be especially exciting as competitors would need to take extra care not to shoot fellow students near the targets. Big-air sledding: The most sensational events of X Games are the Big Air competitions - when perfectly sane people take skis, snowboards and snowmobiles off of ridiculously huge jumps and earn points for doing tricks and not breaking limbs. Stick a giant ramp at the bottom of Daisy Hill, grab some sleds, and we could have our very own Big Air competition. It would surely be a crowd-pleaser, plus med students could get some practice setting broken collarbones. THE MORNING BREW Parking garage ski cross: Ski cross, or "Skier-X" is a relatively new competition that puts five or six skiers on a narrow, high-speed course and waits to see who can get to the bottom first. It's essentially NASCAR on ice. No wonder it's so fun to watch. The Kansas Union parking garage is useless in snow anyway, so it would be ideal for this sport. Since no one in Kansas can ski to save their lives, the multi-skier crashes would be fantastic. I'd stand out in negative wind-chill to watch that. So there's no reason why winter should be any less fun than any other season. Recreation Services, the ball's in your court. Edited by Marla Daniels COLLEGE BASKETBALL Wildcats' turmoil continues with Wally Judge's departure Kansas State coach Frank Martin says forward Wally Judge has quit the team. Martin announced the departure of the 6-foot-9 sophomore Monday afternoon, quoting Judge as saying he was unhappy. Judge had been in and out of the Wildcats lineup this season. ASSOCIATED PRESS He played in 17 of Kansas State's 22 games, averaging 5.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 15.2 minutes. He started 11 games early in the season but missed five for personal or disciplinary reasons. Martin said he wasn't surprised. "I kind of saw it coming with some of his emotional situations," Martin said at his regularly scheduled news conference. "He just has not been enjoying it. He told me today that he thinks it's time for a change." His departure is the latest tremor in what started as a promising year for the Wildcats (14-8, 2-5 Big 12), who began as preseason favorites to win the conference but now rank only above 1-6 Iowa State in Big 12 play. Freddy Asprilla, a 6-10 junior college transfer who had been expected to add heft and offense inside this year, abruptly quit the program last week in early January. The Wildcats are 5-6 overall since Dec.21, when senior guard and acknowledged team leader Jacob Pullen was suspended for three games and forward Curtis Kelly for six after questions were raised about clothing they had obtained at a Manhattan department store. Kansas State won 29 games last year and advanced to the quarter-finals of the NCAA tournament.

WWW.KANSAN.COM XII BIG 12 CONFERENCE PAGE 10A CONFERENCE CLARITY Stage set in just nine days KANSAS 22 Junior forward Marcus Morris is whistled for a foul as he swats the ball away from Kansas State forward Jamar Samuels. Kansas' defeat of Kansas State set the stage for a two-team race for the Big 12 title. BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com It's not a typical three-game run that will be one of the defining moments in Kansas' season this year. It starts tonight with Texas Tech, which hasn't been a top-tier team in years, to Nebraska, which is generally a bottom-feeder in the league, and then Missouri at home — a game Kansas has owned in recent years. owned in recent years. But it's not a typical Big 12. Bill Self still hasn't picked up a victory at Texas Tech, where the Jayhawks play tonight, and Nebraska and Missouri are up — way up — from just a few years ago. from just use "In the next nine days," Self said after beating Kansas State, "there's a good chance we will know a lot more about our conference chances." A&M. After their victory against the Aggies, the Longhorns will be favored in every game from this point forward, and a clean sweep of the Big 12 is a possibility, albeit a remote one. Those conference chances, which took a major hit when the Jayhawks took their only loss thus far to Texas, will rebound if the Jayhawks can pick up a game on Texas. The Longhorns' last game of the season against a ranked team was Monday night against Texas On the other hand, Kansas' schedule actually gets more difficult. They have faced one ranked team, then-No. 11 Texas, in the first half of the conference slate. They've got three — No. 11 Texas A&M and No. 13 Missouri twice — and cannot afford a misstep in their quest for a seventh-straight conference title. Key in avoiding any slip-ups, as always with a Self-coached team, is the defensive intensity of the lajhawks. Steady defense has always been a staple for Kansas under Self, but this year has been an anomaly. Great players have been able to find their shots — Tyler Honeycutt, Derrick Williams, Alec Burks, Jordan Hamilton — or not — Jacob Pullen, LaceDarius Dunn — on an unpredictable game-by-game basis. Pullen was the last to face the jayhawks, and he was stopped cold. He had 21 points, but had a miserable 8-of-22 day from the field. best defensive performance of the season. The better news is that they don't face an elite offense until Marcus Denmon and Missouri visit Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 7. Visit Allen Kramer and Self's nine days end then. And Kansas' conference chances will be a lot clearer. heard. "I have a lot of respect for Jacob. Self said, "but we did a fabulous job on him." "We just played our principles," Marcus Morris explained after Saturday's game. "Our coaches did a nice job of scouting them, and we did a nice job at practice the last couple days, just going over their stuff so we kind of knew a lot of their sets." Kansas State finished with 66 points on a brutal 33.8 shooting percentage. If Kansas keeps up that kind of defensive pressure, it could force Texas into winning out to get the Big 12 title. The good news for Kansas is that it is coming off probably its —Edited by Dave Boyd Twice as nice For the second time this season, Josh Selby has been named the Phillips 66 Big 12 freshman of the week for his performances against Colorado and Kansas State.

He said that the most dangerous aspect of Selby's game is his ability to attack. "Obviously, he's a combination guard he can either handle the ball or shoot it," Vitale said. "He's got a world of potential." While attacking the basket is an important aspect of Selby's game, he found a rhythm with his outside shooting this week. going 3-for-3 from three-point range against Kansas State and 3-for-6 from long distance against Colorado.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO . COMMENTARY Cherish success while it lasts PARKER 3 BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com The other day at the grocery store as I stood in line (and handed my keys) (and hoped my debit card wouldn't be declined), I watched a young kid grab at his mother's leg and beg for just one more piece of Bubblicious, or just one more Snickers. The mom, who looked a little embarrassed, rolled her eyes and tried to explain to her son just how spoiled he really was. Timmy was flabbergasted. He obviously disagreed. Who wants to be called spoiled? Timmy didn't think he had it great. And for the most part, fans don't either, until 15 years later and they're sitting there thinking about how great that 25-year run was. In the movie, "Blow," Ray Liotta says, "When you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again." again. To speak of just how spoiled Kansas basketball fans have been the last 25 years, that quote doesn't even apply to them. Because you see, Kansas basketball hasn't been down during the last 25 years. Not in the way 99 percent of college basketball perceives the word "down." A hall-of-fame coach has been succeeded by two surefire hall-of-fame coaches and Kansas has won 17 conference titles, seven Final Fours, and two NCAA championships. Players like Danny Manning, Paul Pierce, Kirk Hinrich, and Sherron Collins have run out of the northwest tunnel of Allen Fieldhouse. Alan Redfield: I can't and won't blame fans for being spoiled. With that track record, it's nearly impossible not to be spoiled. I'm just here to offer a nice reminder of how great Kansas and its fans have it. Take a glance to the east. Mizzou hasn't won a conference title since 1994 and they missed the NCAA Tournament five times this last decade. In Manhattan, the Wildcats missed the big dance eight times in the last decade, and they are currently in the middle of a collapse of epic proportions. A camping group from Saturday's game held a sign that read, "No. 3 to NIT" and it looks to be spot on. K-State was ranked No. 3 in the national polls this pre-season. Now, after Saturday's 90-66 loss in Lawrence, the National Invitation Tournament seems inevitable. The rivals on both sides of Kansas give fins a nice heaping, plate of perspective on a yearly basis. Take it in while you enjoy watching yet another top-10 team challenge for a seventh consecutive conference title and another trip to the Final Four. The last 25 years in Lawrence aren't common. The crazy thing, however, is that with Bill Self at the helm, things don't look to be changing. Self took over for the outstanding coach, Roy Williams, in 2003 and has won 83 percent of his games, captured six conference titles and won a national championship. Nearly every year like clockwork fans reach for that extra piece of candy and their coach provides. It can't last forever, though. So before you're old and grey, reminiscing of these years, don't forget that you're witnessing something special right before your eyes.

This wasn't a necklace game, but early on, as the Jayhawks rolled to a 10-2 lead and cruised to a 50-point first half, it certainly had the makings of it. "I feel like someone put a meat necklace around my neck," he said, "and threw me into the lion's den." Sometimes,offensively,it all just clicks for the Jayhawks this year. It did against Colorado, but the defense didn't show up to complement it. It did against Kansas State, and the Jayhawks ran the Wildcats out of Allen Fieldhouse in a scorched-earth 22-point beating. For the third straight game, the Jayhawks just had it offensively. Five "Making shots is contagious," coach Bill Self said. "When you miss layups, it seems like your 15-footers get harder. When you PAGE 8A "We made so many shots early.I think everybody was just confident." players scored in double figures, and a sixth, Mario Little, finished one point shy with nine as the Jayhawks posted an 88-66 victory against Texas Tech. BILL SELF Coach make layups, it seems like your 15-footers get easier." Kansas hit shots inside and early. The Jayhawks had 48 points in the paint to the Red Raiders' 16 and hit the first three shots and six of their first seven. "We made so many shots early," Self said. "I think everybody was just confident." Marcus Morris led the Jayhawks with 18 points, making it all seven conference games and the last 11 overall that he's done so. Thomas Robinson was right behind him with his second consecutive 17-point, nine-rebound effort. Markieff Morris logged the only double-double of the game with 11 points and 12 boards. "We were playing through our bigs early," Brady Morningstar said. "That's what we need to do." Morningstar's 12 points marked the second time in three games he has hit double figures after not pulling the feat for nearly an entire calendar year. He's also posting a remarkable 24-to-5 assist-to-turnover rate since conference play began (for the uninitiated, a 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover rate is usually seen as good). As a team, the Jayhawks posted 17 assists against just six turnovers, with Morningstar accounting for four and one, respectively. "It's Brady more than anybody," Marcus said about why the offense has been rolling since the loss to Texas. "He's making shots and that's opening up the defense for us." For the third straight game, Kansas finished with better than 50 percent shooting and 40 percent from three. But for all the offensive success Kansas has been having lately, Robinson offered the simplest explanation. "Tonight," he said, "you know, things came easy." — Edited by Caroline Bledowski WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks hope to end five-game losing streak BY KATHLEEN GIER kqier@kansan.com Sophomore guard and team co-captain Monica Engelman is no stranger to late season struggles after Kansas lost seven of their last eight games in conference last season and ended 5-11 with a first round loss in the Big 12 Tournament. After a 13-1 start to the season, the Jayhawks dropped to the last spot in the Big 12 Conference as of Jan. 30. On a five game skid Kansas' record has dropped to 14-7 and 1-6 in conference play. "The most important thing is staying together, working on us and to stay together," Engelman said. Engelman led the team in a difficult game against Kansas State on Saturday where she scored 18 points on 7-11 shooting. She pulled down five rebounds and dished two assists. "She struggled so much in early conference-play, but she is Kansas will host Colorado tonight at 7 in hopes of recording a second victory in conference play. returning to what she had been in non-conference and much of last year," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. The team has been working on plays in transition. In offensive transition they have not been communicating which has led to turnovers, and on defense players are not shifting and matching up. These issues led to trouble in the loss to Kansas State. The Jayhawks defeated the Buffaloes 68-58 on Jan. 12 for their lone victory in the conference. "We have confidence from us getting the 'W' at their place," Engelman said. "We competed and played hard, but we didn't make enough plays to it done." Hendricks said. This will be the final time that Kansas and Colorado will play as conference brethren as Colorado is set to leave the Big 12 Conference next year. The all-time series is tied "We have to embrace taking care of the little things," Engelman said. "If we focus on rebounding, taking care of the ball and grinding it out and we can be where we want to be." at 33 games apiece. Colorado is led by senior forward Brittany Spears and sophomore guard Chucky Jeffery who average 17.7 and 14.6 points per game respectively. Kansas had trouble guarding Colorado's top two, allowing a combined 39 points. Colorado enters the game with a conference record of 2-5. The team is winless on the road this season. "We have to be able to contain one-on-one and rotate to play team half-court defense," Henrickson said. Senior center Krysten Boogaard has the opportunity to break the 2000-point scoring mark in the game tonight. Bogaard only needs three more points to join this prestigious list.

Engelman hit just 1-0-7-7 shots attempt for five points and dished out five rebounds in the 66-52 loss at Mizzou Arena last Wednesday night. COMMENTARY Jayhawks succeed by getting ball inside A BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Kansas Basketball had the right idea coming into a chilly Lubbock, Texas on Tuesday night. Get the ball inside. They didn't try to shoot too many threes, they didn't try to take their man one-on-one, and they weren't forcing bad shots early in the shot clock. Kansas did exactly what it needed to do early in the game to put the Red Raiders away. Time after time in the first half the Jayhawks got the ball inside and scored a seemingly effortless two points. By the end of the first 20 minutes the Jayhawks outscored Texas Tech 28-6 in points in the paint. Kansas dominated the game when they were getting the ball inside early, which also typically opens up the three point shot. The problem for Kansas is that it sometimes fails to remember they can control nearly every opponent on the inside offensively. Kansas made their first three three-point shots and did not have a miss from three-point range until the seven-minute mark in the first half. The Jayhawks also converted on 57.9 percent of their field goals in the first half. The first nine minutes of the second half Kansas tied Texas Tech in points in the paint at 4-4. Tech outscored the Jayhawks 16-14 during that stretch. There is no coincidence that when the big boys are active early, Kansas will rock and roll. Junior Marcus Morris had 18 on Tuesday to go along with sophomore Thomas Robinson's 17, and junior Markieff Morris' 11. Kansas shot 20 threes and made eight of them, with 12 of the threes coming in the second half once the game was already put away. Last game against Kansas State those three players combined for 47 of the Jayhawks 90 total points. The Jayhawks also only had to attempt 10 three's that game. Coach Bill Self came away very impressed with two of the big men's performances from that game. After that game it was clear that the team felt they had some momentum to take into Texas Tech. "It was definitely what we needed," senior guard Brady Morningstar said. "We look forward to keep playing like that." "Keef was great. He can control it inside," Self said, "and Thomas was terrific." Marcus Morris was feeling confident as well. "It is great that we are moving forward," he said. Against Texas, Kansas' only loss, the three big scored a combined total of 28 points and Kansas was forced to shoot 19 threes. The guards also were getting the ball inside as opposed to setting for the three. Josh Selby scored eight of his 14 total points, the most of any guard, inside the three-point line. It should now be clear for Kansas that they can make life much easier for themselves if they pound the ball inside and don't settle for the three. Look for the Jayhawks to really hone in on scoring inside against their next two opponents, Nebraska and Missouri. The games will be much more tranquil for Kansas fans if they do.

A: Super Bowl VI — NFL.com Soaking up Green Bay coverage MORNING BREW make it to Dallas. I might have been a mere first-grader back when the Packers won the Super Bowl in January 1997, but I remember it fondly. Like a young player who wins it all early in his career, I took it for granted. I believed that with young stars like Brett Favre, Antonio Freeman and LeRoy Butler the Packers would be contenders for years to come and rack up multiple titles. I'm going to be honest; it still hasn't quite hit me that the Green Bay Packers (my Packers) are in the Super Bowl. The way the year started, when it seemed like the Packers lost a new starter for the season every single week. I never thought they would make it to Dallas. multiple titles. The next season was a continued high. I believed the Packers were unstoppable. They made it back to the Super Bowl. And then the unthinkable happened. The Packers lost. Slowly, the Mike Holmgren era unraveled. As I grew older, so did Favre, and all of his teammates from Super Bowl XXXI retired. The lowest of lows was the 2005 season when the Packers finished 4-12. Even when the Packers came close, it just was not enough.

Luckily, the Packers were able to do the near impossible. They replaced legend Brett Farve, thanks to the foresight of Ted Thompson and the drive of Aaron Rodgers, and survived an onslaught of injuries and won three in a row on the road, including two in stadiums where they had lost during the regular season. Press Gazette. On Super Bowl media day, I set my DVR to record both the SportsCenter and NFL Network telecasts of the event while watching live online to maximize my coverage and exposure to even the most obscure facts. That is why this week I am dedicating myself to the Packers. I'll watch every Super Bowl segment on SportsCenter. I'll read every article written about the team on websites ranging from ESPN to the Green Bay With a possible NFL lockout looming, and with some teams like the Lions never having made it to the Super Bowl, I'm going to be sure to soak up as much of the coverage as I can because even with a young, talented team, I can never be sure exactly when the Packers might get back. Edited by Becca Harsch to a 66-59 victory over No.11 Purdue on Tuesday night. Evans hit a jumper from the free throw line with 50 seconds left to put the Badgers (16-5, 6-3 Big Ten) ahead for good at 60-59. He tied up the Boilermakers' E'Twaun Moore for a jump ball that went to Wisconsin with 25 seconds left. Evans added a breakaway dunk in the final seconds for the last of his 10 points. Junior guard Jordan Taylor added 15 points and freshman Josh Gasser had 11 for the Badgers, who again showed their ability to bounce back after a loss. Wisconsin, which lost 56-52 at Penn State on Saturday, has won its past 19 games after losses dating to January 2009. Ja Juan Johnson led Purdue (18-5,7-3) with 23 points —17 in the second half — for his 32nd consecutive game in double figures. Moore added 15 points for the Boilermakers and D.J. Byrd had 11.

It was Self's fourth trip to the United Spirit Arena, but his first time walking off the court with a victory. Kansas hasn't won in Lubbock since 2003. "We needed to win here, because we haven't done it yet," Self said. Self said the team is spoiled because it consistently plays in front of 16,300 people at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas did it in front of an official attendance of 9,055 fans, but the arena seemed to be half that. It was in the tens before the game started, which might have kept fans at home. "They play better when there's an atmosphere. Of course tonight, with the weather, there wasn't going to be an atmosphere," Self said. The Jayhawks controlled the game early and it wasn't even close. "Making shots is contagious too," Self said. "When you miss layups, it seems like your 15-footers get harder, but when you make layups, its seems like your 15-footers get easier. Certainly, we made so many shots early, I just think everybody was confident." ones or three-on-twos than any team around and we got to get better at that because those are the easiest scoring opportunities," Self said. "I've got to do a better job of creating those situations in practice. You get five of those a game, you got to come away with 10 points, and we're coming "I just think we out worked them. They were really short on big men." Raiders by 21, Kansas took control of the ball and continued to go down low to the post. Kansas scored 48 of its 88 points in the paint. When the Jayhawks were able to grab a defensive rebound, they wanted to push the ball as quickly up the floor as possible. However, they were only able to score four points on the fast break. Self said the team was poor in transition. away with two or four" MARCUS MORRIS Junior forward or four." "We botch up more two-on- Self did say the ball was moving even though he doesn't think this is a great passing team. The Jayhawks were effective in working the ball to the post. The Morris twins and sophomore forward Thomas Robinson used their size and quickness to defeat their defenders. Junior forward Marcus Morris led Kansas with 18 points on 8-13 shooting. Morris scored six of the first eight Kansas points in the first 3:28 of the game. Morris didn't think it would have been that easy. them," Morris said. "They were really short on big men." Kansas had five players who scored in double figures. Robinson scored 17 of Kansas's 42 bench points. Robinson also grabbed nine rebounds and went a perfect 5-5 from the free throw line. Senior guard Brady Morningstar scored in double digits for the second time in three games. He scored 12 points and continued his hot shooting performance over the last week and a half going 5-7 from the field and 2-3 from behind the arc. "I just think we outworked Morris said the offense is better because of Morningstar. "Brady's been shooting it a lot better these last couple games," Morris said. "He's definitely back to the Brady we're used to. The more aggressive Brady and making the right plays." Morris is not sure why Brady has been playing so well, but he said the team was closer because of the recent death of Robinson's mother, Lisa. — Edited by Caroline Bledowski T Kansas Texas Tech 29 | 37—66 Points Jayhawk Stat Leaders Marcus Morriss Rebounds 18 Markieff Morris 12 P. O. K. Assists Josh Selby 4 PETER SCHNEIDER Brady Morningstar 4 Game to remember Brady Morningstar Morningstar finished with 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting in his second double-digit performance in three games. He also finished with four assists against just one turnover, continuing his recent string of excellent play. Marcus Morris attributed Kansas' recent offensive renaissance to the rebirth of Morningstar's once-dwindling offensive game. Mike Moran Game to forget Morningstar Tyshawn Taylor It's hard to give this to Taylor, who has reengineered his game to fit what the Jayhawks need in a completely selfless move. Taylor has the ability to be a premier scorer, but he's deferred to his teammates and seen his scoring average drop from 10.4 in nonconference play to 5.9 in conference play. His assist-to-turnover rate has sparkled since his scoring dropped, but the Jayhawks need at least more than the zero points he gave Tuesday.

Inspired by a revolution in nearby Tunisia earlier this month, tens of thousands of Egyptians — fed up with decades of debilitating unemployment, widespread poverty and government corruption — have taken to the streets of Egypt, demanding an end to Mubarak's tyrannical reign. In case you haven't been following the events occurring in North Africa in the past few weeks, here's a summary: These protests were originally organized by Egyptian youth online via sites like Twitter and Facebook, dubbing this as "the social network revolution." Mubarak quickly ordered a media blackout across Egypt, shutting down all BY SARA JAWHARI sjawhari@kansan.com Don't be a buzzkill. Internet, phone and other communication services hoping to prevent any further organization of protests. After several failed attempts, he's still trying to shut down news channels, such as Al Jazeera, that have been televising the protests around the clock. Despite all this, the U.S. continues to back Mubarak's regime, politically and economically. To put it in numbers, according to the U.S. Department of State, Mubarak's government is given about $1.3 billion in aid every year. That's $1.3 billion of taxpayer's money playing a key role in funding this oppression and the military machinery he uses to maintain his power. Mubarak has been hell-bent on maintaining his dictatorship throughout the uprising, firing his cabinet, replacing key positions and making empty promises to his people who have finally stood up and said, "Enough." As Obama said during his famous speech in Cairo in 2009, "Words alone cannot meet the needs of our people." When addressing democracy in his speech, Obama stressed his belief "that all people yearn for certain things: the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed, confidence in the rule of law and the equal administration of justice... and the freedom to live as you choose." Obama declared that those are not just American ideas, they are human rights, and America will support them everywhere. As the situation in Egypt escalates, we must stand in unity with those who strive for the most basic human rights. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday that the U.S. would support an "orderly transition" to a new government, though she did not explicitly call for Mubarak to step down. That won't do any good. In order for Egypt to have any hope for a transition into a peaceful democratic state, the U.S. must cut all ties with the Mubarak regime. If funding were cut off, Mubarak would have no choice but to give in to the demands of his people and finally step down. with that promise. It is time to turn rhetoric into action. In his public address about the issue, President Obama said, "The United States will continue to stand up for the rights of the Egyptian people and work with their government in pursuit of a future that is more just, more free and more hopeful." This is our time to follow through It's time for the U.S. to promote the democracy and the rights Obama spoke of in his historic speech, ironically given in Egypt, just two years ago. So here's our chance. It's time for the U.S. to formally withdraw its support of Mubarak and his crippling rule. Jawhari is a junior from Kansas City in journalism and anthropology. CARTOON ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE OF 30 YEARS OF US CALLS ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE OF 30 YEARS OF US CALLS FOR GREATER POLITICAL FREEDOM IN EGYPT NICHOLAS SAMBALUK Letter to the Editor Social media serves large role in Egyptian revolt Feeling the power of Facebook and Twitter, the Egypt government has resorted to cutting off Internet and mobile service in most of the country. As President Mubarak declared he would dissolve the current government but also appoint the next cabinet, campaigners have achieved some positive while not completely satisfying results. The fall of a regime seems to be inevitable as the government officials said the protesters "have nothing to lose." Social media have served such an important role in the revolt. Here is how everything started: inspired by the uprising in Tunisia, thousands of protesters joined a Facebook anti-government campaign. The Facebook group is still active, with more than 30,600 people. According to a BBC report on Jan. 25, demonstrators remained in the city center around Tahrir Square late into that night, and there were appeals on Facebook for food and blankets for those staying put. ABOUT During Mubarak's 30-year regime, government officials controlled the media and little dissent was tolerated. According to Internet monitoring firm Renesys, all routes to Egyptian networks were simultaneously withdrawn from the Internet's global routing table, which means that no websites are accessible within Egypt at this point. Under Egypt legislature, the government holds the right to do so. However, this has not prevented the demonstrators from taking further actions. Until now, the death toll has passed 100, and about 2,000 Social Media Club at KU (SMKCU) aims to create public awareness of social media outlets, to provide a networking platform and career opportunities, and to create a learning environment for members to gain real world experience of social media marketing. people have been injured.

Vote now at KANSAN.COM/POLLS FASHION Everyday life is no place for hair feather extensions Over the weekend at a party, I saw a girl with something in her hair. At first, I thought that she had just crimped a few strands, and decided she didn't like it and left the rest straight. Then I realized the oddly textured hair was a different color. I thought maybe she just had a few black streaks in her red hair. red hair. Later that night, a friend referred to her as "the girl with feathers in her hair" I thought that was kind of weird, but didn't dwell on it. Maybe she was trying to make a statement. The next day at breakfast, I saw another girl with feathers in her hair. But these weren't like the sleek straight feathers I'd seen the night before. These poofy feathers, much like the ones you buy at Hobby Lobby to glue onto art projects and Halloween costumes. They were awkwardly sticking out from each side of her head while the rest of her hair was pulled back. I had to do some research. And thus I met the new trend taking over our campus: feather hair extensions. I must admit, I was behind on this trend. But I'm not as ashamed. In my opinion, feather hair extensions are disgusting. They make me think of bird droppings or avian flu. I like feathers and birds a lot. I think they're can be pretty nostalgic-looking. But not in my hair. Or at least, not every day. Yes, I know you can wash, blow dry, straighten and curl these things, but they are so unnatural looking. Wearing feathers in your hair can be quite cute, like on a headband or hair clip. But to wear them as part of your hair every day is too Diana Rodriguez BY ALEXANDR ESPOSITO aesposit@kansan.com much. The fact that extensions are made with real bird feathers grosses me out. You don't know where that bird has been, and now you're wearing it on your head. Ew. This trend will not last. Unless you're Ke$ha, you cannot wear feathers in your hair all the time and look sane. Imagine walking into a job or internship interview with these avian hairpieces. Or how about when you're just hanging out in your pajamas or going to the gym? If you want to experiment with feather extensions, don't buy the kind you actually attach to your hair. Try clip in feathers first and see how you like them. If you decide that you in fact do want to look like Pocahontas and end up wearing them every day, go ahead and get the real thing. This way you will know that you're ready to commit to bird hair before you glue it to your head. Do you really want to be remembered as the girl with feathers in her hair? Everyday life is not the place for hair feathers.

KUnited assesses progress during previous tenure BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com There is a giant list hanging in the Student Senate office. The list has the 20 promises KUnited made in last April's student Senate election. Each time a promise was fulfilled this year, a red check mark was made on the list. Nine months after the elections, the list bears nine check marks. "Well I don't want to be too generous, but I'd give us a 'B+' right now," said Student Body Vice President Megan Ritter. "We are excited about the progress we have made." For students, some of the most exciting progress comes in the form of the Underground expansion, a central component of KUnited's platform.

Ritter said that the project had been passed to the Provost's office and that she thought it would be delayed. She said there was not yet a timeline for the completion of the project. "If it meets with their approval my assumption is we will try to fast track it," he said. "We would try to get to the project in June in hopes that it would be done in time for the start of school." Some of KUniteds' platforms have been implemented immediately but others have not faired so well. Progress on the student services center, a central part of KUnited's platform, has slowed.

While students have yet to taste the benefits of the Underground expansion, some of the progress Ritter described has been more immediate.

Potholes form when water freezes in pavement cracks expanding the crack. expanding the 18 blog post on the City of Lawrence's website, Megan Gillibrand, communications director for the City of Lawrence, asked motorists for help in finding and fixing potholes. To report a pothole, drivers can call 785-832-3456, or fill out an online form on the city's website. A version of the form for mobile devices is also available online at lawrenceks.org/public_works/pothole_report_form. last winter, the city of lawrence... fixed: 16,091 POTHOLES used: 646 TONS OF MATERIAL which took: 5,001 MAN HOURS pothole report table Gillbrand said that between Dec. 1, 2009 and April 1, 2010, crews fixed 16,091 potholes using 646 tons of material and 5,001 man hours. The process of fixing potholes is expected to be faster this winter because of a new device in use by city crews. The spray-injection device, which was acquired by the city in the fall, can fix potholes while snow is still on the ground, Mark Thiel, assistant public works director, told The Kansan in December. Graphic by Sarah Hockel/KAMAKURA The machine injects potholes with either a hot or cold mix, Gillibrand said. It makes the application of a hot mix easier, which is stronger than the cold mix and lasts longer. Despite budget pressures, the city will stay on top of potholes, Gillibrand said. "Street maintenance is a priority for Lawrence and the City Commission," she said. Not many potholes have been fixed yet this winter. Gillibrand said she expected the pace to pick up in the next few weeks.

ADMINISTRATION New minimum hours required not yet in effect BY LAURA THOMAS editor@kansan.com academic affairs at the University, minimum hours sent an e-mail On Dec. 2 the University of Kansas Senate approved an amendment that would reduce the minimum number of required credit hours from 124 to 120. This reduction was in response to the Kansas Board of Regents decision in October to lower the number of hours required to earn a bachelor's degree. Although the rule was effective immediately, Barbara S. Romzek, interim senior vice provost of sent an e-mail at the beginning of the spring semester informing students that the minimum hours requirement has not yet changed. T he University government has agreed to make requirement," "I dropped a class freshman year and now I will have to make those hours up somewhere along the line." HEATHER ZERGER Junior from Kansas City, Mo. Romzek said. "However, each department now has the authority to decide if they will use the 120-hour m i n i m u m or require more to earn a bachelor's degree." the step towards changing the departments at the University Certain the University may require more than the minimum amount of hours to complete the curriculum and necessary academic work needed to earn a degree in the field. The University hopes to complete the process by the fall 2011 semester. "Many students call with questions about whether or not it has gone into effect," Romzek said. Unfortunately, all undergraduate students are still required to complete 124 hours before graduating. The students have mixed feelings about the proposed change. "Honestly, in the scheme of things four hours does not make much of a difference to me," Shannon Spurlock, a junior from San Francisco, said. "I would definitely not complain if my department chooses to require more than 120 hours, but 124 is not much if a stretch from the minimum." For other students however, requiring 120 hours means a chance for graduating within four years. "I dropped a class freshman year and now I will have to make those hours up somewhere along the line," Heather Zerger, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., said. "Having 120 required hours as opposed to 124 would mean not having to stress about those lost hours." This change has made Kansas' requirements consistent with the institutions in 39 other states that each require a minimum of 120 hours to graduate.

The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for 20 Kansas counties, including Douglas, on Monday. And down it came. NWS put the offical accumulation for Lawrence at 8 inches just before midnight Tuesday, lower than the expected 10 to 13 inches, but still with a forecast of one more inch overnight. A windchill warning of dangerous cold replaced the blizzard advisory. TODAY'S HIGH 13 Snow/wind THURSDAY 19/5 sunny LOW -5 FRIDAY 33/22 Mostly sunny weather.com replaced the blizzard avalanche. In addition, winds gusting at around 35-40 mph blew through the region Tuesday and are expected throughout the day today. The Lawrence Police Department said officers saw a decrease in car accidents throughout the day Tuesday, even though the number of officers patrolling the city increased. No injury accidents were reported, and only two non-injury accidents occurred between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesday. But Lawrence's chilly worries represent just the tip of the iceburg — the storm is due to affect more than 100 million Americans throughout the country, with Midwestern cities such as Chicago being the hardest hit, according to the Associated Press.

The University implemented its inclement weather policy on Tuesday and Wednesday, the first two-day closure since 2002, according to the University website. For Stewart, Wednesday was the first day she actually had to step outside and face the snow.

PATTON TARA CUNNINGHAM Junior from Derby "I pretty much cleaned all day." JEAN-PIERRE CHOUFFE NOAH GARCIA second-year Law student from Overland Park "I played snow football." Snow-packed roads prevent accidents BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com Besides giving students a chance to lounge around, play outside or catch up on homework, the last two snow days have provided a much practical benefit. Edited by Emily Soetaert "Because everyone is staying home, we have not had a lot of accidents," KU Public Safety Capt. Schuyler Bailey said. Schuyler said the snow days have kept students off campus and given KU facilities and operations some extra time to make campus safe. "It gives the workers a chance to clear the streets and clear the sidewalks," he said. Tow truck companies also reported fewer accidents in the Lawrence area than expected. "Maybe people heeded the warning and stayed home," AAA fleet supervisor Royce Rochelle said. Rochelle said that he was surprised the AAA towing service had received few calls from the Lawrence area. He explained that the University calling a snow day for the first time in three years likely attributed to the scarcity of calls. "If you shut down KU, you shut down half the traffic. The students have a huge impact," Rochelle said. RESEARCH "It's inevitable. The weather was horrible yesterday (Tuesday). It's bitter cold today (Wednesday). But as it warms up this weekend I expect people to get out and we are going to see those numbers go up," he said. While accidents have been relatively few so far, Rochelle warned that in the next week the amount of weather-related accidents could rise. Geologists scout Antarctic glacier CONTRIBUTED PHOTO KU grad student, Brandon Gillette (right), helps carry a fuel drum as the rest of the Byrd Glacier team organizes science and climbing gear. BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com The Lawrence snowstorm gives two pole-bound travelers a mere taste of what they'll be headed into in days to come. Assistant professor of geology Leigh Stearns and graduate student Brandon Gillette are going to Antarctica Wednesday. 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 units that they hope have been recording data on the glacier's behavior. A primary goal of this month's expedition is to retrieve those GPS units. All of this is part of a three-year study funded by a $412,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. The two researchers, together with some other scientists and a team of mountaineers, were the first in recent memory to attempt a landing on Byrd Glacier. East Antarctica has seen less research than the western part of the continent, where glaciologists have studied dynamic ice streams and glaciers that they believe are sensitive to climate change. They are currently in Christchurch, New Zealand, where Gillette continues to update his blog, commenting on the weather here at home. The team is getting organized and preparing to fly to McMurdo Station, the U.S. Antarctic Program's largest research base. Stearns and Gillette study glaciers, tracking their positions and movement and providing data to researchers around the world. Over the next three weeks, they will be working on East Antarctica's Byrd Glacier, a huge river of ice that flows from the Transantarctic Mountains and into the Ross Sea. Stearns and Gillette spent a month on the Byrd Glacier in November, when they installed about 30 GPS But the Byrd Glacier also poses serious obstacles to fieldwork. The glacier's surface is broken by chasms up to two stories deep, requiring researchers to hop from one point to another by helicopter. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet — one of two enormous ice masses that cover the continent — is higher and older than its counterpart to the west. Stearns' team must contend with -22 degree temperatures and biting winds. Stearns has been to Antarctica eight times, and said she didn't consider the trip dangerous. She said that the Antarctic program put a lot of effort and care into the safety of the people who visit. The fieldwork does involve some risk. Members of the research team must make sure that they stay warm, well-fed, hydrated and they must respect the dangers of working near helicopters. They also have to exercise care on the surface of the heavily creviced glaciers. "There's a reason why we're bringing two professional mountaineers with us on this trip," Stearns wrote. In addition to recovering the GPS units that they deposited in SEE RESEARCH ON PAGE 3A Q&A: HOW DOES THE UNIVERSITY MAKE THE DECISION TO CANCEL CLASS? with Associate Director for News and Media Relations, Jill Jess By Janene Gier Q: Who makes the final decision to call a snow day? Is there a chain it must go through? What had to happen in terms of weather expectations, for the decision to be made? happen, in terms of weather expectations, for the individuals. A: "As for the final decision, it goes through the Provost's Office and the people there who talk very closely with those who work with KU on Wheels and Facility Operations people. We used our judgment on how quickly we could clear parking lots and campus. The really cold temperatures played into the cancellation and ability for maintenance crews to clear the snow, as well." Q: Why is it that the University seems to be the last one, if at all, to call a snow day? A: "Yesterday (Tuesday) we called in the decision before Lawrence Public Schools did. Yesterday (Tuesday) was a situation where it was monitored and we knew what was happening and what was predicted for overnight. The University expects students to take their own precautions. They're not standing on a corner waiting for a school bus. They understand how to dress in weather like this. We take all of that into consideration before making the call to cancel classes and close campus."

CAMPUS Staff work overtime to clear snow akopf@kansan.com BY ALEESE KOPF While most students camped out in their beds the last two nights, watching a movie, sipping on hot chocolate and putting off homework for one more night, the situation was not so pleasant for others. Gary Baker was huddled in the back seat of a truck with only snow shovels and salt bags to keep him company. Baker, a 27-year employee with the Facilities Operations Department, lives about 10 miles south of town and didn't want to brave the treacherous roads to make it home. Besides, with his shift starting at 5:30 a.m., he said spending the night was just easier. "I've had to work 12 to 15 hour days because of the snow so I knew I had to make sure I could be here early," Baker said. The other 30 employees with the landscaping division of Facilities Operations fell under the same expectations. Grounds maintenance is their responsibility. Thane Haug, a 10-year employee with the department, was part of a three-man crew in charge of shoveling Jayhawk Boulevard. Haug didn't know when he would get off Tuesday, but said his shift wouldn't end until the campus was ready for students to come back. "Handicap ramps and stairs are the main concerns," Haug said. "The first day there wasn't a lot we could do — try to treat the icy areas — but after the snow started all we could do was wait to start plowing." Andy Peterson, one of the employees driving the plow, worked all day Tuesday and Wednesday clearing streets and sidewalks, but said there will still be some slick spots today. "I've been here for 16 years and this is the worst storm I've ever pushed." Peterson said. "We're getting there, but the roads were pretty crappy in some places and the parking lots still need work." With that in mind, Trey Walts, a Facilities Operations employee from Ottawa, had some tips to offer students back to campus. "It's going to be really slick in areas," Walts said. "If students fall a lot of times it's because they had their hands in their pockets or they tried to jump over the plow mounds along the curbs instead of using the crosswalk. I would say just try to have your hands free and take extra time." Edited by Danielle Packer SNOW (CONTINUED FROM 1A) frequented liquor stores with determined fervor. "We were definitely twice as busy as normal," Dowdle said. Bars around campus like The Hawk and The Wheel opened early on Tuesday to accommodate those celebrating the snow days. Steve Mason, a senior from Atchison, said his job closed around noon on Tuesday, enabling him to become drunk by early afternoon. Ken Pingleton, the bar manager at The Burger Stand at the Casbah, 803 Massachusetts St. said everyone has been in good spirits despite the snow and the bitter temperatures. "Everybody's had a smile on their face," Pingleton said. "It's like a weekend in the middle of the week." Business was slower on Tuesday than it was on Wednesday though, Pingleton said. "We closed down early on Tuesday because of concern for our employees' safety," Pingleton said. "But today has been full of students and teachers." Pingleton said that it was definitely evident that it was a snow day. - Edited by Erin Wilbert t_f ET CETERA STAYING CONNECTED WITH THE KANSAN Get the latest news and give your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan_News, or become a fan of The University Daily Kansan on Facebook.

Frank DeSalvo, chairman of the review team and associate vice provost for student success, said the SCRT is a multi-disciplinary group of professionals that can be contacted either for consultation or to meet as a group. "We'll meet with a student that is causing them concern to review the situation and see what's needed," DeSalvo said. The identities of those who contact the SCRT are kept confi- dental. According to a brochure available on ku.edu, students should contact the team when another student exhibits disturbing behavior such as making loud outbursts in class, making violent or threatening statements, or stalking another student. on and do well," DeSalvo said. "Part of what the Student Conduct Review Team does, in addition to reviewing the situation, is try to get the student connected to the services they need. Often all that's needed is Even though the vast majority of people are not mentally ill, Professor Alice Lieberman of the School of Social Welfare said students should be conscious of others' behavior.

"If you pay attention to these tragedies, you realize that there's so often points prior to that where intervention would have really made a difference," Johnson said. However, Lieberman said the shootings have reinforced the popular yet false notion that mental illness is dangerous. Both she and Johnson said what happened in Tucson shouldn't lead students to make assumptions about mental illness. "People with mental illnesses are no more prone to violent acts than the general population." Johnson said. "They are interestingly six times more likely to be the victim of a crime than the general population." —Edited by Helen Mubarak THE STUDENT CONDUCT REVIEW TEAM SHOULD BE CONTACTED (785- 864-4060) WHEN A STUDENT: Exhibits an outburst or disturbing behavior in a classroom or other campus location. - Submits a "dark" or otherwise disturbing passage in a written work. - Makes threats involving guns, other weapons, or explosive devices either verbally or in writing (including through social networks). - Behavior triggers reportes of stalking. Acts in a manner or makes statements that are interpreted as posing a threat of violence. Exhibits gestures that appear bizarre, threatening, or dangerous. - Becomes extremely angry and unleashes a loud and abusive verbal attack (perhaps regarding a misappointing grade).

Information provided by SCRT 2010 Brochure RESEARCH (CONTINUED FROM 1A) November, Stearns and her team will try to place more of them, higher up on Byrd, where two lakes sit beneath the ice. The team was unable to find a safe place to land there in the first expedition, but will try again this time. The GPS units record latitude, longitude and altitude every five seconds, which means the data they collect is very high-resolution. Some of the units can remain in place throughout the year, but Stearns said most of them are not rugged enough to survive the Antarctic winter. Stearns is a member of the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets, an organization founded by the NSF in 2000 with its headquarters at the University of Kansas. CREIS has brought other glacier researchers to Lawrence, including professor of geography Cornelis Van der Veen. Van der Veen uses information such as the data Stearns collects to create computer models to help understand how glaciers behave. He said that, while all glaciers are driven by the same physics, each glacier is unique. They move and change according to their particular circumstances, such as climate and the topography underneath the ice. Most glaciers in Greenland, for example, move at speeds between 10 and 100 miles per year. Some travel up to 14 kilometers per year. Researchers have measured the Byrd Glacier at 800 meters per year. In addition to GPS units, researchers use a wide variety of high-tech tools to track the movement of the ice sheets and the ground surfaces beneath them. Those include ground-penetrating radar and high-resolution lasers that can map the surface of the ice from an aircraft or a satellite. Van der Veen said tools that require the use of aircraft are time consuming. For that reason, engineers like aerospace engineering professor Rick Hale are working with CReSIS to develop automated aircraft to do the job. Whatever the methods employed, the researchers of CReSIS share the common goal of understanding glaciers and how they behave over time. Gillette said that this particular research project doesn't address climate change and focuses specifically on the flow dynamics of the Byrd Glacier. But he did stress that it was a topic people should know more about. "Ice and glaciers are a big part of this planet," Gillette said. "They contain a majority of the planet's freshwater reserves." Stearns said that she was interested in how the Byrd Glacier flows – whether the whole glacier moves in unison or if it moves in stops and starts. Her goal is to help ice-sheet modelers like Van der Veen produce more realistic projections for ice sheet behavior. "Sea level rise is obviously a global problem," Stearns said. Stearns wrote that coming up with better projections for the future has societal ramifications for everyone, including urban planners, policy makers and economists.

Those scrappy underdogs from Fox's musical sensation, "Glee," are also bringing their "A" game. Airing directly after the title clash, "Glee" will present a massive song-and-dance homage to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. With a price tag reported in the $3-5 million range, it's the show's most expensive episode to date. Thus continues the grand television tradition of trying to milk the plum post-Super Bowl time slot for all its worth. Knowing that it's the biggest showcase of the year, networks typically bank on the slot to launch a new series — as CBS did with "Undercover Boss" last year — or to boost the profile of an existing show. casting an image "Glee," which already has a robust fan base, might not seem like a natural fit with the football crowd. That undoubtedly explains why it will open Sunday's episode with a dance number featuring cheerleaders and plenty of skin — the better to keep male viewers in their seats. It recalls the sexy stunts deployed by past Super Sunday shows, including "3rd Rock From the Sun" (a Cindy Crawford guest stint), "Grey's Anatomy" (a steamy shower fantasy) and "Alias" (Jennifer Garner slinking around in lingerie). Not every post-Super Bowl TV show is a winner, of course. In 2007, CBS coughed up a fumble with a gloomy episode of "Criminal Minds" that had James Van Der Beek playing a serial killer.

COMMENTARY Forget biology class, Weird Al needs help As was reported in this paper and others, the world of pseudoscience was rocked earlier this year when it was announced there would be a new astrological symbol joining the horoscope. The symbol in question was Ophiuchus, the Roman version of the Greek god of healing and medicine. He is symbolized both by that rod with a snake around it — the one you see on the side of ambulances — and by having a stupid name. The addition of Ophiuchus is the biggest change to happen to the pseudoscientific community since homeopaths began ignoring the fact that homeopathy is a giant scam. For the world at large, little changed with the addition of this new astrological symbol. Life goes on just as it did before, except that some children born after 2009 will have to cope with the fact that they have an astrological symbol that many scientists are calling "pretty lame." 1978-1984 However, this change to the horoscope has had one devastating effect. Alfred "Weird Al" Yankovic was born the son of a former soldier from Kansas City, Kan, and grew up in Lynwood, Calif. He began school early and got a degree in architecture from California Polytechnic State University before embarking on a career in song parody — because that makes sense. By adding a 13th symbol to the horoscope, the astrological community has made a mockery of a multi-platinum selling musician and celebrity whose name has become synonymous with intelligence and normalcy: "Weird Al" Yankovic. Weird Al's unique brand of "vaguely funny musical humor" gained popularity with hits like "Another One Rides the Bus" and "Eat It" before doing a bunch of other stuff that Wikipedia merely glosses over. BY LOU SCHUMAKER lschumaker@kansan.com In 1999, he released "Running with Scissors," which quickly became his most popular album, or at least that's what I assume, since it's the only one I am familiar with. The album featured hit songs like "The Saga Begins," a parody of "American Pie" and "Polka Power!" which is a medley of popular songs sung at a fast tempo, because Weird Al does what Weird Al wants to do. The song ruined by the addition of Ophiuchus is "Your Horoscope Today," a parody of ska and bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. It's an often-overlooked song, but is nonetheless crucial to Weird Al's songbook. In it, Weird Al provides absurd horoscopes for each of the astrological symbols using his characteristic acid-tongued wit and verbal dexterity, with unforgettable lines like "Try to avoid any Virgos or Leos/With the Ebola virus" and "Your birthday party will be ruined once again/By your explosive flatulence." In the aftermath of the announcement, Weird Al hastily wrote a new lyric concerning Ophiuchus, but is hardly worth the brilliance evident in the rest of the song. Also, it doesn't really make any sense. There hasn't been a musical shake-up of this magnitude since the Beatles revealed that love is not all you need. In order to save this timeless piece of musical Americana, I'm asking every man and woman at KU to spend every waking hour coming up with new lines for the song, or at least while you're zoning out during your biology class.

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell initiated this crossover when, in response to the postponement of the Philadelphia Eagles' game against the Minnesota Vikings due to weather, he stated, "We've become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything. If this was in China do you think the Chinese would have called off the game?" INTERNATIONAL POLITICS Because of the recent anti-China rhetoric, here's a bold prediction. Within the next year, someone will make a thriller movie that tops the box office based on the threat of China. This movie will star some B-list actor like Megan Fox or Billy Ray Cyrus and be called something like "Countdown to Communism." It will be awful. But let's be honest, we will all go see it. There's no better way to get the country thinking about political issues than evoking football. But there is something Americans are even more sensitive about than football. Our children. When the Wall Street Journal ran an excerpt from Yale law professor Amy Chua's essay titled "Why Chinese Mothers are Superior," the discussion on China's rising officially moved from Washington, D.C., to dinner tables around the U.S. Chua's essay created quite a stir among American mothers who ferociously defended their way of parenting. Why does it matter that Americans recently seem so obsessed with our competition with China? Well, it could be exactly the impetus needed for Congress to start taking the competition seriously. As President Obama stated in his State of the Union speech last week, "The most important contest we face today is not between Democrats and Republicans. It's America's contest with competitors across the globe for the jobs and industries of our time." It's no secret that he's talking about China. In fact, the State of the Union had more explicit mentions of China than any previous one. This ought to BY MEGAN ADAMS madams@kansan.com tell you something about Washington's sense of insecurity towards China. Not that the U.S. should admit defeat, but the fact is China is beating us in many important races. For instance, the Wall Street Journal announced China as the leader in green technology. While the impact of China's lead on clean technology isn't seen yet, in the coming years this will translate into a major economic and environmental advantage for China. This is a race we cannot afford to lose. China's environmental lead is just the beginning. The Obama Administration ought to make progress on our educational deficit as well. A recent assessment of education across the globe called the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) revealed shocking results. Students from the United States scored 17th overall, while students from Shanghai ranked first in all categories. The results weren't close. It's not surprising that there is a strong connection between education and overall economic growth. For a long-term solution to our economic woes, President Obama and Congress must ensure our students become more competitive. It's great that more people are talking about our competition with China but unless action is taken in Washington, it won't matter. It's time to even the scores across the board. Though it's easy to blame China for many of our problems, the fault is our own. Adams is a junior from Overland Park in political science and international studies.

The ex-convict also died. CRIME Authorities in three states had been searching for 35-year-old Wade Andrew Williams since his parents were found dead in their home in the Florida Panhandle last week. A man was walking in the woods Wednesday when he saw Williams near a campfire and Chris Neal/KANSAN questioned him about what he was doing. Williams shot at the man, who took cover behind a tree and was hit by scapnel, officials said. He was not badly hurt and was able to contact authori ties, who sent about 40 officers to the scene. K-9 units tracked Williams through a remote wooded area where authorities believe he had been camping. Col. Greg Malloy, a K-9 officer who had been with the department since 1988, died when he and other officers exchanged fire with Williams. "The colonel and other officers put themselves in harm's way to apprehend this dangerous suspect," said Tim Brown, Holmes County Sheriff, in an e-mail statement. "My heart goes out to all his family, friends and fellow officers." The other injured K-9 officer was in stable condition at a hospital, said Mike Morrison, spokesman for Walton County Sheriff's Office. They also searched Alabama and Georgia for Williams, who was released from the Tallahassee Work Release Center in August 2009. He had been sentenced to three years in prison after being convicted of several burglary and grand theft charges in 2005 and 2006.

You do a good job of executing some quick hits against the zone, you get some screening action to get Carolyn and Kristen some balls," Henrickson said. 4635-81 Kansas Edited by Jacque Weber P Colorado 27|26-53 Jayhawk Stat Leaders 1 Points Carolyn Davis 20 Rebounds PETER RYAN Krysten Boogaard 7 Assists Angel Goodrich 8 Kansas Player FG-FGA 3FG-3FGA Rebs A Pts Carolyn Davis 8-10 0-0 4 0 20 Keena mays 7-8 2-3 5 4 16 Monica Englman 5-9 2-2 5 2 14 Angel Goodrich 2-4 0-2 1 8 4 Marisha Brown 0-2 0-1 2 0 2 Krysten Boogaard 3-5 0-0 7 1 8 Tania Jackson 2-5 0-1 1 1 6 Brooke Jelniker 1-1 0-0 3 0 4 Aishah Sutherland 2-3 0-0 6 1 4 Diara Moore 1-2 0-0 3 1 3 Totals 31-50 4-9 38 18 81 Player FG-FGA 3FG-3FGA Rebs A Pts Brittany Wilson 8-19 1-2 4 3 22 Brittany Spears 7-21 1-3 6 1 18 Chelsea Dale 2-4 0-1 0 1 4 Julie Seabrook 1-2 0-0 4 0 2 Britney Blythe 0-2 0-1 1 0 0 Rachel Hargis 2-7 0-0 4 1 5 Ashley Wilson 1-2 0-0 0 0 2 M.

A: Baseball. The game was between Princeton and Columbia at Baker Field. Princeton won 2-1. www.usefultrivia.com Pullen can watch from the couch MORNING BREW It's safe to say Kansas State will not be going to the NCAA tournament come March. It's also safe to say that Kansas State will be playing in the National Invitition Tournament or College Basketball Invitational without senior guard Jacob Pullen. Those two things can be attributed to the Javhawks. Pullen can thank the Morris twins and Thomas Robinson later for allowing Pullen to watch the tournament from his couch. BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/kansanhall Pullen didn't say anything about the CBI, but him not playing in it is understood as well. "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 said after a 74-66 loss to Colorado on Jan 12. If Pullen doesn't play, coach Frank Martin will now have three empty roster spots. The first loss was junior forward Freddy Asprilla who said he was leaving to be with his mother in his home country of Colombia, where he would pursue a professional career. News has come out that Asprilla is now transferring to Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y. Second, was Puller's comment. Then on Monday sophomore forward Wally Judge quit the team.

Japanese media reported The text messages, found on the phones of wrestlers in sumo's Wednesday that police have found suspicious text messages on several wrestlers' cell phones suggesting they were planning to fix bouts and going so far as to detail how one would attack and how he wanted his opponent to fall. second-highest division, indicate that the wrestlers routinely fixed bouts and charged hundreds of thousands of yen (thousands of dollars) per match to do so, according to Japan's Kyodo news service. Public broadcaster NHK, which airs the six annual sumo tournaments live, carried a similar report. It said sumo officials were planning to hold an emergency meeting Wednesday to discuss the matter. Police had no immediate comment. It was not clear if a formal criminal investigation would be launched. Japan Sumo Association chairman Hanaregoma said he was aware of the reports, but had not been contacted by police. "We are examining the situation," he said. Sumo — which has its roots in ancient religious purification rituals — has been dogged by scandals.

The class, which includes 27 signees, is currently ranked 34th in the country according to rivals.com. While speaking to media members, Gill described his staff's goals while on the recruiting trail the last year, which included the obvious attributes of speed, explosiveness and depth. He also discussed in depth a few rather unknown recruiting philosophies he and his staff executed this year. On both the offensive and defensive lines, Gill said he wanted to work from the outside first and then work his way in. The four defensive linemen currently signed will all start their careers at defensive end. The magic number seems to be between 275 and 285 pounds before they can move to the interior defensive line. Julius Green looks to be closest to making that switch as of right now. Green currently weighs 270 pounds and is already on campus working out. "I wanted to go get defensive ends," Gill said. "And if those guys can get bigger, we'll move them inside." on campus working with the "outside to inside" philosophy was something Gill picked up on while playing and coaching at the University of Nebraska. Gill said he noticed former Cornhusker coach Tom Osbourne implement that strategy many times while in Lincoln. "At Nebraska that was one of the philosophies -- getting speed. And then if you want to get bigger on the inside, you still have the athleticism," Gill said. Former stints on the offensive side of the ball or past experience running track were also things the staff looked at while filling up this recruiting class. "All these guys on the defensive side are very athletic; they're very explosive and they can run." Former running backs, receivers, or quarterbacks, Gill said, bring an extra level of athleticism and explosiveness to the defense. Gill noted that a goal during the recruiting process was getting parents onto campus to see the University. A few other things stood out during the press conference, which ran for about 30 minutes. The high number of recruits begs the question of immediate playing time, which Gill said was a good possibility for 15 or 16 of the 27 signed players. "If we got both parents to come on campus I think we were about 100 percent [at getting a commitment.] He also spoke about questions he received from a few recruits on the future of the Big 12 conference, which seemed to be in limbo last summer. "The Big 12 is here to stay," Gill said confidently. With the inconsistent performance at quarterback play in 2010, Gill was asked if incoming freshman Brock Berglund could start in 2011. "When you have competition in all walks of life, you're either going to rise or you're going to fall. We want to make sure that we have the right people who are going to rise to the occasion and be able to make plays for us." "Absolutely. Yes" he said, once again harping on his goal of competition at every position heading into next season. Edited by Erin Wilbert TOP RECRUITS Brock and Quarterback 6"4", 205, Fr, Highlands Ranch, Colorado, Valor Christian High School Another of the already enrolled and practicing signes, Berglund brings talents that other schools like Colorado S were begging for. The third-best player in Colorado and 13th-best dual threat quarterback in the nation according to Rivals.com, Berglund threw for 2,150 yards as a senior and also racked up 23 touchdowns. On top of that, he ran for 952 yards and nine touchdowns on 130 carries. The guy has speed and an arm that Kansas football seemed in desperate need of.

Mays recorded 16 points in the 81-53 victory over Colorado. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN --success in the second half of the Big 12 Conference season. Fast-break layups, a threepointer, a block and a mid-air interception reminiscent of Sherron Collins — freshman guard Keena Mays did it all. Mays solidified the Kansas lead with that knockout series of plays in the early minutes of the second half. BY KATHLEEN GIER kqier@kansan.com "It felt really good, I didn't notice it in the moment," Mays said. Mays finished the game with 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting and 2-of-3 from beyond the arch. Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich talked about the impact Mays had on the team. "Those are momentum plays for us." Goodrich said. "If something happens like that we get so rumped." The Jayhawks defeated the Colorado Buffaloes in an 81-53 rout for their second conference victory of the season. Kansas now sits with a 15-7 record overall with a 2-6 mark in conference play. "It felt good to get a win, and get a big one," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Hem reasoned. The Jayhawks have struggled recently, but were able to break a five-game losing streak with the victory tonight. "No one is happier to get out of January than us and get into February and make a run," Henrickson said. "This team has to get better." Goodrich saw the significance of the game that gave them a morale boost. "We needed this game. For the last two weeks we have struggled, but after this win it feels better," Goodrich said. Mays is hopeful that this is the turn that the team needed to see "We are gonna start our streak tonight," Mays said. Goodrich saw differences in transition as a large part of the team's success tonight. Kansas outscored Colorado 10-0 in fastbreak points and scored 21 points off of turnovers. Some of these points came off of Kansas' seven steals and four blocks. "It felt good because we were getting quick baskets and coming down and playing defense," Goodrich said. Edited by Brittany Nelson Kansas shot 62 percent from the field in tonight's competition and had 18 assists in a balanced attack in which all players scored. "Tonight we came together and this is the strongest we have been in the last two weeks," Goodrich said. COMMENTARY Newest players are more than just athletes SOMEDAY BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com . Coach Turner Gill is trying to build more than just a football team. It's pretty evident when a team that went 3-9 has a recruiting class hovering around 30th in the nation. Gill faced the question Wednesday during his Signing Day press conference: Did that poor record affect any of Kansas' commitments? "Guys have confidence," Gill said. "They love what we're doing here. That's why you come here on an official visit. You come here and witness it here yourself." Not a one,he said. Gill is trying to build a program focused on character and passion, using those as a launching pad to bigger and greater achievements. From the day he got here, Gill said that he was going to recruit and he was going to turn his players into better men. That seems to be enough to keep these guys committed to Kansas. Part of building a successful program means bringing in players and coaches who know how to win, much like the Kansas City Chiefs did last year. This Kansas recruiting class had 14 players who competed in state championships last season, while 23 total had playoff experience. Gill and his coaching staff have signed 27 players from as far as California and Florida to play for the Jayhawks next season, with many competing for a significant role. The talent of these freshmen is yet to be determined, but their experience is essential. Gill said to give it two or three years and this Kansas team will be competing for championships. That's a bold statement for not yet seeing what his team can do on the field. But from what Gill said Wednesday, these guys seem to know the value of tradition. Usually, all it took was one parent to buy into what Gill was preaching to help push a recruit toward Kansas. If he got two parents, it was a bonus. But the families saw the passion Kansas fans have for their sports and they wanted their sons to be revered as such. A trip to Allen Fieldhouse often made the recruits realize how much the fans love their athletes. "I think the biggest thing that is great for us, no doubt, is going to a basketball game," Gill said. The Jayhawks didn't need to have a good football season to have a recruiting class that looks solid on paper. Kansas' traditions and atmosphere are often enough to interest potential players. There is always the chance that the on-the-field goals set out by coaches and players won't go as planned. But if Gill turns his players into better men than they were before coming to Kansas, he has done his job. And Gill thinks he has another batch of players that can excel on the field, in the classroom and in the community. "This group exemplifies what a student athlete really is," Gill said.

Mike Gunnoe/KANSAI BY KATHLEEN GIER knier@kansan.com Fast-break layups, a three-pointer, a block and a mid-air interception reminiscent of Sherrron Collins — freshman guard Keena Mays did it all. Mays solidified the Kansas lead with that knockout series of plays in the early minutes of the second half. kgier@kansan.com Mays finished the game with 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting and 2-of-3 from beyond the arch. Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich talked about the impact Mays had on the team. "It felt really good, I didn't notice it in the moment," Mays said. Those are momentum plays for us," Goodrich said. "If something happens like that we get so pumped." The Jayhawks defeated the Colorado Buffaloes in an 81-53 rout for their second conference victory of the season. Kansas now sits with a 15-7 record overall with a 2-6 mark in conference play. "It felt good to get a win, and get a big one," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. The Jayhawks have struggled recently, but were able to break a five-game losing streak with the victory tonight. "No one is happier to get out of January than us and get into February and make a run," Hendrickson said. "This team has a chance to get better." Goodrich saw the significance of the game that gave them a morale boost. "We needed this game. For the last two weeks we have struggled, but after this win it feels better." Goodrich said. Mays is hopeful that this is the turn that the team needed to see success in the second half of the Big 12 Conference season. "We are gonna start our streak tonight," Mays said. Goodrich saw differences in transition as a large part of the team's success tonight. Kansas outscored Colorado 10-0 in fast-break points and scored 21 points off of turnovers. Some of these points came off of Kansas' seven steals and four blocks. "It felt good because we were getting quick baskets and coming down and playing defense," Goodrich said.

Just when I think it is safe, a snowstorm hits Lawrence. I find myself working out less during the winter. And even less than that when the ground is covered in snow. As a former cross-country runner, I have weathered many terrains and temperatures, but now I find myself weathering physical hibernation brought on by the cold, not including the work I put into getting to campus in one piece. I get restless when I am cooped up in my apartment. My bones and muscles begin to itch for physical activity. I allow myself to get to the breaking point where I must run. I put on enough layers to cause me to sweat before I even leave the apartment. Once the initial shock of sub-zero wind chills subside I break into a slow jog. After stumbling awkwardly on the snow-covered sidewalks, I am able to pick up a rhythm. One foot after the other hits the snow and kicks back to propel me forward. I push through the pain of cold air burning my lungs. My pulse begins to race and my body warms up. As I pick up speed, I think that nothing can stop me from finishing my run ... that is, until I hit a slick patch of snow and break into my "Oh shit, I'm going to fall" dance. When I return home, my ass is sore and there is snow in my pants. I take a long, warm shower and vow to myself that I will wait for warmer weather before I run again. Justine's story about running in the cold on page 7 offers advice for runners who brave Mother Nature's frigid touch, especially those runners I see every so often in a T-shirt and shorts. I get chills watching them from a window in my heated apartment. With a lot of the country sitting under a blanket of snow, I hope you all are staying warm and safe this winter. And if you happen to witness me doing my daily "Oh shit, I'm going to fall" dance, don't be afraid to applaud. It's awesome.

Think of his P-spot as a different version of your G-spot. Academic articles and popular press have written about the strength of the orgasm that comes from prostate stimulation. I understand that his request might have caught you off guard, but I recommend giving it a shot if you feel comfortable. // MIKE ANDERSON Penny A. Your boyfriend is curious about heightening his orgasms, which can be a wonderful exploratory experience as a sexual couple. Exploring fantasies supports the development of intimacy and trust.

If you make an effort and still have apprehension, express this and I'm sure he will understand! // MICHELLE MACBAIN HOW WE MET // MADDIE DAVIS AND CASEY LYTLE > All great relationships had to start somewhere. Maddie Davis and Casey Lyle, both Scottsdale, Ariz. seniors, met during their sophomore year of high school in a Dairy Queen parking lot in Arizona. They both were with friends, and they talked back and forth between their cars. Though the two got to know each other in high school, they did not start dating until September of their freshman year at the University of Kansas. The couple has maintained their relationship by making time for each other despite their busy schedules. "Since I play baseball we are hardpressed on time during the spring semester," Lytle says. "With a busy schedule it's hard to find the time to do everything right and please everybody, but in the end you have to please her first because she is number one." When they have free time the couple likes to go to movies, try new restaurants and go to concerts. They also enjoy relaxing together and watching their favorite shows. The couple took a huge step toward their future together in 2010 when Lytle proposed to Davis on their three-year anniversary. K Davis on the trip Lytle, with the help of his three best friends gagged and his brothers, sent Davis on a scavenger hunt in Lawrence. The clues led Davis to the Campanile, where Lytle asked her to marry him. Though they are only 22 years old, Davis and Lytle know they want to be together for the rest of their lives. "A lot of people say, 'you guys are too young,' but I don't think there is an age limit on being engaged, as long as you're responsible," Lytle says.

Sexual health is not something to ignore. Ken Sarber, a health educator for Watkins Memorial Health Center's wellness resource center, says 50 percent of all sexually active college students will get at least one sexually transmitted infection (STI) by the time they graduate.

If students cannot afford services at Watkins, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and the Douglas County AIDS Project offers similar services for lower prices. For example, Douglas County AIDS Project offers free oral swab HIV tests. Dr. Carolyn Johnson at Watkins' Women's Health Clinic says the Watkins business center will help students find where they can get the services they need for the best price, even if they're not at Watkins. All they have to do is call and ask. To avoid paying too much, Sarber says it's important to meet with a doctor and determine what's wrong so you don't have to spend money on multiple tests. "If [doctors] can narrow it down to one or two tests it can save [patients] lots of money and time, and agony for that matter," Sarber says. All students, faculty and staff at the University can use the services at Watkins. Full-time students paying the health services fee can see a doctor without paying a doctor's visit fee if they schedule an appointment for Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. "What I tell students is when you call in, ask ahead of time, 'am I going to get charged with an office visit fee or is this time covered under my student health fees?'" Sarber says. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 The staff will also help patients get qualified for manufacture discounts on medications such as the Gardasil vaccination to protect against human papillomavirus. Having unprotected sex can change your entire life. An STI can make you infertile or give you a virus that will never go away. "I think there's an attitude when you're young that everything's just going to be OK without really worrying about making sure that it's OK," Johnson says. "But it's a big benefit to you later on if you take care of your sexual health as a young person." Your sexual health isn't just a personal matter. It affects you as well as every person with whom you have sex. Being honest about your sexual background with a partner and knowing your partner's history as well is important. Sarber's student group created a questionnaire to help couples learn about each other's sexual history. Both partners answer questions like, "Have you ever had sex? How many partners have you had? Did you use protection every time? Have you ever had sex under the influence of alcohol? Have you ever had any STIs?" "That kind of just helps open up the avenue before it's too late," Sarber says. "If [couples] Photo Illustration | Chris Bronson Health protection: Watkins Memorial Health Center offers students exams and contraceptives. would have that conversation, a lot of things can be prevented." If you're not sexually active, you should still take precautions so you'll be healthy when you do become sexually active. Johnson says that if a person is not sexually active, now is the perfect time to get the Gardisil vaccination. You're not at risk of getting an STI if you're not sexually active, but remember, sexual activity is not just sex. Johnson says STIs are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. Sarber urges students who are not sexually active to stay strong and not be influenced to have sex before they are ready. "I think something that stereotypically is thought of is that everybody at college is having sex, and that's not true," Sarber says. "There's a large portion of college students that aren't having sex and not choosing to have sex for many different reasons." Jp ... WHEN SHOULD I GET ... An STI screening? The Center for Disease Control suggests getting tested for Chlamydia and HIV once a year, but Johnson recommends getting tested every time you have sex with someone new. "It's reasonable to go ahead and get checked whenever you have a new exposure," Dr. Carolyn Johnson says. A mammogram? Johnson says that women don't need to get mammograms until they are 50, unless they have a family history of breast cancer. If you have had a first-degree relative, like a mother or sister, or several second-degree relatives, like several aunts, who have had breast cancer you should start getting mammograms when you're five years younger than the youngest relative was when she had the diseases. A pap smear? Although the recommendation used to be three years after a woman first has sex, it has recently been changed to once a woman turns 21, no matter how old she was when she became sexually active, Johnson says. This has to do with the immune system's ability to heal Human Pamplona Virus [HPV] without treatment. After a woman turns 21, she should get a pap smear every other year until she turns 30. Women who are 30 years old who have had normal pap smears and negative HPV DNA screens should get a pap smear every three years. and the Barrel House, 729 New Hampshire St., is packed with students.

Russell River CANDIES Mike Gunnoe/KANSAM BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com rast-break layups, a three-pointer, a block and a mid-air interception reminiscent of Sherron Collins — freshman guard Keena Mays did it all. Mays solidified the Kansas lead with that knockout series of plays in the early minutes of the second half. "It felt really good, I didn't notice it in the moment," Mays said.

Goodrich said. "If something happens like that we get so pumped." The Jayhawks defeated the Colorado Buffaloes in an 81-53 rout for their second conference victory of the season. Kansas now sits with a 15-7 record overall with a 2-6 mark in conference play. "It felt good to get a win, and get a big one," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. The Jayhawks have struggled recently, but were able to break a five-game losing streak with the victory tonight. "No one is happier to get out of January than us and get into February and make a run," Henrickson said. "This team has a chance to get better." Goodrich saw the significance of the game that gave them a morale boost. "We needed this game. For the last two weeks we have struggled, but after this win it feels better," Goodrich said. Goodrich saw differences in transition as a large part of the team's success tonight. Kansas outscored Colorado 10-0 in fast-break points and scored 21 points off of turnovers. Some of these points came off of Kansas' seven steals and four blocks. Mays is hopeful that this is the turn that the team needed to see success in the second half of the Big 12 Conference season.

Part of building a successful program means bringing in players and coaches who know how to win, much like the Kansas City Chiefs did last year. This Kansas recruiting class had 14 players who competed in state championships last season, while 23 total had playoff experience. The talent of these freshmen is yet to be determined, but their experience is essential. Gill said to give it two or three years and this Kansas team will be competing for championships. The Jayhawks didn't need to have a good football season to have a recruiting class that looks solid on paper. Kansas' traditions and atmosphere are often enough to interest potential players. Usually, all it took was one parent to buy into what Gill was preaching to help push a recruit toward Kansas. If he got two parents, it was a bonus. But the families saw the passion Kansas fans have for their sports and they wanted their sons to be revered as such. That's a bold statement for not yet seeing what his team can do on the field. But from what Gill said Wednesday, these guys seem to know the value of tradition. "I think the biggest thing that is great for us, no doubt, is going to a basketball game," Gill said. A trip to Allen Fieldhouse often made the recruits realize how much the fans love their athletes. . There is always the chance that the on-the-field goals set out by coaches and players won't go as planned. But if Gill turns his players into better men than they were before coming to Kansas, he has done his job. And Gill thinks he has another batch of players that can excel on the field, in the classroom and in the community. "This group exemplifies what a student athlete really is." Gill said. Edited by Jacque Weber HEALTH ... + GOOD FOR YOU BAD FOR YOU // A COLD RUN > Sometimes it's hard to tell. Mom always said, "Don't go outside with a wet head or you'll catch your death of cold!" But what about being outside with a sweaty head? Megan Chinander, Shoreview, Minn., senior, says she likes running outside more than on a treadmill because the environment offers more interesting things to look at than the four walls of a gym. Chinander says the many terrains add different dynamics to training. "It is better for your muscles in terms of strengthening when running outside, because you often encounter different surfaces such as hills, sand, grass or snow," Chinander says. As long as people like Chinander follow a few safety precautions, they can find a safe way to exercise when it's cold outside. Laura Webb, a KU Fit instructor at,the Ambler Student Recreation Center, says hydration is just as important when exercising in 30-degree weather as in 80-degree weather. Webb also suggests dressing in layers in order to maintain a comfortable body temperature. Chinander says she always wears a hat and gloves to help her extremities stay warm.The Minnesota native also suggests always dressing warmer than the weather. "I can always take clothes off, but if I get halfway through a run and am too cold, I will have to turn around," Chinander says.

Mitell says TV may be a detriment to some young people, but students often can get a sneak peek at life in other cultures and learn to appreciate different personalities.

Everything changed when I searched for other sources of entertainment and found that I enjoyed the long-gotten activities TV often replaces: playing board games, reading and having sex. Am I ready to replace TV with Scrabble for good? Probably not. According to the Nielson Company, I'm not alone in my TV dependence. The average American watches 35.6 hours of TV every week.

Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich talked about the impact Mays had on the team. "Those are momentum plays for us." Goodrich said. "If something happens like that we get so pumped." The Jayhawks defeated the Colorado Buffaloes in an 81-53 rout for their second conference victory of the season. Kansas now sits with a 15-7 record overall with a 2-6 mark in conference play. "It felt good to get a win, and get a big one," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.

Part of building a successful program means bringing in players and coaches who know how to win, much like the Kansas City Chiefs did last year.

The talent of these freshmen is yet to be determined, but their experience is essential. Gill said to give it two or three years and this Kansas team will be competing for championships. That's a bold statement for not yet seeing what his team can do on the field. But from what Gill said Wednesday, these guys seem to know the value of tradition. Usually, all it took was one parent to buy into what Gill was preaching to help push a recruit toward Kansas. If he got two parents, it was a bonus. But the families saw the passion Kansas fans have for their sports and they wanted their sons to be revered as such. "I think the biggest thing that is great for us, no doubt, is going to a basketball game," Gill said. A trip to Allen Fieldhouse often made the recruits realize how much the fans love their athletes. The Jayhawks didn't need to have a good football season to have a recruiting class that looks solid on paper. Kansas' traditions and atmosphere are often enough to interest potential players. There is always the chance that the on-the-field goals set out by coaches and players won't go as planned. But if Gill turns his players into better men than they were before coming to Kansas, he has done his job. And Gill thinks he has another batch of players that can excel on the field, in the classroom and in the community. "This group exemplifies what a student athlete really is." Gill said.

Edited by Jacque Weber NOTICE --- Q&A // SHERRI DUPREE BEMIS OF EISLEY ( ) ( ) > Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers. Sherri DuPree Bemis is a vocalist, guitarist and lyricist for the Texas-born melodic indie pop band Eisley. The sibling (and one cousin) band will release The Valley, their first record in four years, on March 1. Eisley's U.S. tour kicked off yesterday in Albuquerque, and stops in Kansas City, Mo., this Saturday, Feb 5. They will play at 7 p.m. at the Beaumont Club, 4050 Pennsylvania Ave., (with Rooney and The Chapin Sisters). Tickets are $15. Sherri spoke to Jayplay about the new album, touring and being married to the lead singer of her favorite band. ... ... What sets The Valley apart from Eisley's first two albums? This new album is definitely the most selfpossessed. Lyrically, it's a lot more personal and the songs are very much just about our lives and our experiences, whereas on the first couple of records, a lot of it was fictional because we were so young. So I think this one's just the most open Eisley record that we've ever written. I don't want to say "grown up" because that sounds cliché and silly, but it really is the most grown up Eisley record that we've written. How long have you guys been working on this album? It's been a long road with this record because we actually finished it not last summer but the summer before that, so right after we finished it we went through the whole label change. We ended our contract with Warner Brothers and we were looking for a new label and so it was nearly two years ago that we completed the record. It's difficult whenever you create something and you're so excited about it and you want to just put it out, but then you just have to sit on it. It's been done for so long and we couldn't play the songs live or anything just because we didn't want anything getting out before it was time. So, while it's been frustrating, now it's so exciting because it's been up for so long that now it feels so good that the record's coming out in less than a month. You and your sister, Stacey, write Eisley's songs. How many did you write for The Valley and how did you both put your work together for the album? Yeah, it changes for me a lot, but I love the song Stacey wrote, "Ambulance." That one is one of my favorites. I think it's really a powerful song. I think there are 11 songs on it, and I think I wrote five or six and Stacey wrote the other half. Whenever we write for records, we both write separately for the most part, and then we'll bring all of our demos to the band and take an even amount of her songs and my songs and se whatever fits together the best to make the most cohesive project. Do you have a favorite on the new album? Which song, past or present, are you most proud of? If I was going to pick one that's not on this new record, one that fans know, then it'd be the song "Combinations" off of our last record. I think it just turned out really pretty. Then from the first record, I'd pick "Marvelous Things" just because that one has become such a fan favorite. So I love playing that one live because fans sing along so loudly and it's so fun for me. What is your favorite part of going on tour? What artist is your favorite right now? I'm always the biggest Say Anything fan. The lead singer [Max Bemis] is my husband so it sounds like I'm just saying that, but I honestly was a huge fan before we even met. It's so fun for me because like right now, he's just walking around the house singing and playing guitar, so it couldn't get any better for me. There are a couple things. For one, just getting to hang out with my band. They're so funny and I love spending time with them. We have a ridiculous amount of fun just hanging out and driving around the country and I always enjoy that part of it. Also, I love playing for fans and getting to meet them. Because I'm online a lot, like Twitter and all that stuff, so I get to talk to a lot of fans and have relationships with them, so it's so cool getting to go on tour and finally meeting these people that I've been talking to. To write songs and have them touch people, and have them all come together in one room and be singing these songs with me is so fulfilling. There's really no feeling like it. What's the most important goal you have for your music or yourself as a musician? Just to keep inspiring people. That's the most important thing to me. So many people who pour out their lives into their art and their music inspire me, and I live off that; that stuff keeps me going, keeps me inspired and helps me to do what I can do. So if I am doing that for anyone, that's all I want to accomplish. I've read that you do art in your spare time. Do you see art becoming more than just a hobby somewhere down the road? Photography for me is just kind of a creative outlet that's fun and I don't honestly know any of the technical things that make photographers good. That, for me, is just hobby. I don't know that I'd ever pursue it professionally, but I have a lot of fun doing it. My art, though, is definitely my next biggest passion to making music. I have it really good, too, because Eisley lets me design all the t-shirts and posters, so there's always something to do for the band. But if I didn't have music, I think I'd really try to get better at illustrating and it'd be so fun to illustrate and write children's books.

EVIL' | 2011 (POLYVINYL) Deerhoof's avant-pop comes off like the progressive and manic scatteredness of Marine Stern or Hella, but less absurdly frantic and much sweeter on the ears. The San Francisco four piece has played noisy, experimental and off-kilter rock with various lineups since 1994, and Deerhoof vs. Evil is the group's 11th full-length. The new album is noticeably dancier and straightforward, but it still has the fuzzed riffs and frenzied drums that fans will recognize. Singer/guitarist Satomi Matsuzaki still provides the whimsical and childish vocals that complete Deerhoof's signature sound, but overall the album comes off a bit softer and smoother with less aggression and abrasion. The band recorded, mixed and mastered the album in practice spaces and members' basements without outside engineers, meaning more creative control. The record begins with angular guitars that seem to argue over what time signature to play in, but the song, "Qui Dorm, Nomès," unexpectedly snaps into a simplistic funk groove less than 30 seconds into it. Right as it seems to sound like a more typical pop song, it falls into somewhat of a slower, folky and tribal beat with plucked acoustic guitar, atmospheric synths and the occasional "ting" of a triangle. Then once again, the band can't settle down - the song drifts back to the funk groove, but with more eccentric plucked guitar work. This is all within the first couple of minutes. Deerhoof's music, especially here, could be described as "A.D.D." — it's an aural pastiche that constantly shifts and rarely settles down—and not for very long. I hear funk, metal, pop,jazz, punk and garage influences, but no one song really adheres to those guidelines. It's a completely unorthodox and unpredictable brand of indie pop. "Secret Mobilization" has a gritty central guitar lead and a repeated chant from Matsuzaki that seems to symbolize the band's strangeness: "This is not based/This is not based/This is not based/On a true story." ★ ★ ★ // ALEX TRETBAR STYLE REVIEW // LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE > Get it while it's haute. --- Watch Envy - $15 Handbag Envy - $30 Dress Britches - $38 The best way to conquer the winter blues is to add a splash of color to your dull winter outfit.

On said he waited to work from the outside first and then work his way in. "I wanted to go get defensive ends." Gill said. "And if those guys can get bigger, we'll move them inside." The four defensive linemen currently signed will all start their careers at defensive end. The magic number seems to be between 275 and 285 pounds before they can move to the interior defensive line. Julius Green looks to be closest to making that switch as of right now. Green currently weighs 270 pounds and is already on campus working out. The "outside to inside" philosophy was something Gill picked up on while playing and coaching at the University of Nebraska. Gill said he noticed former Cornhusker coach Tom Osbourne implement that strategy many times while in Lincoln. "At Nebraska that was one of the philosophies — getting speed. And then if you want to get bigger on the inside, you still have the athleticism," Gill said. [at getting a commitment.] The high number of recruits begs the question of immediate playing time, which Gill said was a good possibility for 15 or 16 of the 27 signed players. He also spoke about questions he received from a few recruits on the future of the Big 12 conference, which seemed to be in limbo last summer. "The Big 12 is here to stay," Gill said confidently. With the inconsistent performance at quarterback play in 2010, Gill was asked if incoming freshman Brock Berglund could start in 2011. "Absolutely. Yes" he said, once again harping on his goal of competition at every position heading into next season "When you have competition in all walks of life, you're either going to rise or you're going to fall. We want to make sure that we have the right people who are going to rise to the occasion and be able to make plays for us."

SEE THE REST OF THE CLASS ON PAGE 7A WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks break losing streak with win against Colorado KANSAS 5 Russell River CANDIES Freshman guard Keena Mays lays the ball up off of a fast break in the second half Wednesday at Allen Field-house. Mays recorded 16 points in the 81-53 victory over Colorado. Fast-break layups, a three-pointer, a block and a mid-air interception reminiscent of Sherron Collins — freshman guard Keena Mays did it all. Mays solidified the Kansas lead with that knockout series of plays in the early minutes of the second half. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com "It felt really good, I didn't notice it in the moment," Mays said. Mays finished the game with 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting and 2-of-3 from beyond the arch. Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich talked about the impact Mays had on the team. Those are momentum plays for us." Goodrich said. "If something happens like that we get so pumped." The Jayhawks defeated the Colorado Buffaloes in an 81-53 rout for their second conference victory of the season. Kansas now sits with a 15-7 record overall with a 2-6 mark in conference play. "It felt good to get a win, and get a big one," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. The Jayhawks have struggled recently, but were able to break a five-game losing streak with the victory tonight. "No one is happier to get out of January than us and get into February and make a run," Henrickson said. "This team has a chance to get better." Goodrich saw the significance of the game that gave them a morale boost. "We needed this gan e." or the last two weeks we have struggled, but after this win it feels better," Goodrich said. "We are gonna start our streak tonight," Mays said. Mays is hopeful that this is the turn that the team needed to see success in the second half of the Big 12 Conference season. "Tonight we came together and this is the strongest we have been in the last two weeks," Goodrich said. Goodrich saw differences in transition as a large part of the team's success tonight. Kansas outscored Colorado 10-0 in fastbreak points and scored 21 points off of turnovers. Some of these points came off of Kansas' seven steals and four blocks. Edited by Brittany Nelson Kansas shot 62 percent from the field in tonight's competition and had 18 assists in a balanced attack in which all players scored. "It felt good because we were getting quick baskets and coming down and playing defense," Goodrich said. the jawhaws next season with many competing for a significant role. Part of building a successful program means bringing in players and coaches who know how to win, much like the Kansas City Chiefs did last year. This Kansas recruiting class had 14 players who competed in state championships last season, while 23 total had playoff experience. The talent of these freshmen is yet to be determined, but their experience is essential. Gill said to give it two or three years and this Kansas team will be competing for championships. That's a bold statement for now yet seeing what his team can do on the field. But from what Gill said Wednesday, these guys seem to know the value of tradition. Usually, all it took was one parent to buy into what Gill was preaching to help push a recruit toward Kansas. If he got two parents, it was a bonus. But the families saw the passion Kansas fans have for their sports and they wanted their sons to be revered as such. A trip to Allen Fieldhouse often made the recruits realize how much the fans love their athletes. "I think the biggest thing that is great for us, no doubt, is going to a basketball game," Gill said. The jayhawks didn't need to have a good football season to have a recruiting class that looks solid on paper. Kansas' traditions and atmosphere are often enough to interest potential players. There is always the chance that the on-the-field goals set out by coaches and players won't go as planned. But if Gill turns his players into better men than they were before coming to Kansas, he has done his job. And Gill thinks he has another batch of players that can excel on the field, in the classroom and in the community. "This group exemplifies what a student athlete really is." Gill said. Edited by Jacque Weber SPEAK --- 1 LOST IN TRANSPORTATION TIME DOESN'T FLY WHEN YOU'RE STUCK IN AN AIRPORT. We hadn't seen each other in 68 days. Two months, one week and one day: an eternity when you're in love and 3,529 miles apart. I had completed my dream internship abroad in London writing for a travel magazine. My next stop: Stavanger, Norway. I was visiting Ane, a girl who started as a foreign exchange student at my high school and quickly turned into a best friend. Her cozy cottage felt like home, but with a few essential people missing. Cory, the boyfriend, was one of those essentials. My flight back to the States left at precisely 6:45 a.m. The only problem was I wasn't on it. Ane and I had gone to bed late the night before, strategically sleeping at her friend's house located three minutes from the airport. She assured me her alarm was set, I set mine for 5 a.m. but didn't open my eyes until 6:42 a.m. — three minutes before my flight. "Oh, no, Ashley, I think we're too late," Ane said. Her alarm never went off. I must have slept through mine. At first we didn't move. We both just stared at each other. Then the realization set in. We jumped up, threw on clothes grabbed my bags and started for the door. I wasn't too worried. I was positive the plane would wait for me. I could still make it. Ane hit the gas pedal and skidded to a halt in front of the airport's "Unloading Only Zone." It was 6:50 a.m., only five minutes past the scheduled departure. I just had to get inside the airport and I would be fine. This happened all the time, right? Wrong. I scanned my boarding pass at the "Self Check-In" and the truth sunk in: Flight #254 has already departed, sorry for the inconvenience." I was sorry, too. Ane talked to the woman at the service desk. It was all Norwegian to me. Even when they were speaking English I still couldn't understand what was going on. To make things worse, Ane had a plane of her own to catch; she was leaving for China that morning, so she had no choice but to abandon me. "Very funny. What time will you be here?" he asked The worst part was telling Cory. It was 2 a.m. his time when he got the call. "Cor? I am so sorry. I missed my flight." I think I could have held it together if my phone and computer hadn't run out of battery. As soon as my connections with the outside world died, my spirit died right along with them. And, of course, I didn't have a Norwegian converter and the only store that sold them in the airport was located just past security. I was able to convince the security guard to let me through without a boarding pass but as soon as I started throwing my 50-pound suitcases onto the conveyer belt he stopped me. "Sorry miss. Carry-on luggage only." "Can I just leave it here for a minute?" I pleaded. "Sorry miss. All unattended luggage will be confiscated." I'm sure I'm marked in an airport file as "emotionally unstable" because I couldn't stop the tears from coming. A few minutes later the woman at the service desk told me I could fly out at 6:45 a.m. the next day for no charge. I started to sit down when she stopped me. "Miss, it's only 9 a.m. You aren't waiting here are you?" That's when it hit me: I had no other place to go. For the first time in my life help wasn't a phone call away. I had never felt so alone. I pushed my hulking luggage into a corner, stared at the wall and realized this was the new reality. Throwing my coat over my head, I cried. The pity party seemed to last for hours but when I checked my watch, the only technology that hadn't failed me, it was only 9:30 a.m. I still had 21 hours and 15 minutes to go and I wasn't going to spend it with my head under my coat. I picked myself off the floor, grabbed my belongings and went on a food hunt. Already my hopes were getting higher, and not just because I was on the escalator up to the only restaurant in the airport. I'm almost certain the owner of the restaurant was an angel in disguise. He watched my bags while I ran through security, purchased the converter and Contributed Photo Missed Connections: Ashley Barforoush on a European excursion to the Musee du Loure in Paris. Little did she know the real adventure would be trying to get home to the States. came back with about 20 hours to spare. I did everything but sleep; I was terrified of closing my eyes. After all, that's what got me into this mess to begin with. Seth, Ryan, Summer and Marissa became my companions as I watched episode after episode of the The OC. When I felt my eye lids getting heavy, I loaded my luggage onto a cart and ran a few laps around the airport. I did everything from jumping jacks to crunches on the airport floor to stay awake. Sleep was the enemy. By midnight. I was then desperate enough to pay $20 for 30 minutes of Internet. I blogged: Going on hour 18 in the Norway airport Whoever said you can't go home again must have also missed his flight to America. I tried to get money out of the ATM and accidentally took out 2,000 Kroners. Which converts into $320. Can you tell I haven't talked to anyone all day? Anyway, I'm going to exchange them back into dollars. Those are my big 2 o'clock plans. At 2:30 I'm going to walk my luggage outside. If I can fit my bags in the stall, I may go to the bathroom at 3. It's going to be a pretty crazy night! Better run, there's only 5 hours until boarding time! New York here I come. I had never cared less about a city and more about a person. Cory was waiting for me and that thought alone made me smile. Being the first in line to board, I had time to take one last look at the airport: my temporary home. Just because the day hadn't gone according to my plan, it didn't mean my life had veered off course. In 24 hours, I learned a lesson that can't be taught in school: To make the most of a bad situation, sometimes you have to take the coat off your head and rescue yourself. Though I stayed awake, the rest of my journey to New York was a blur. When I made it safely into my boyfriend's arms, I closed my eyes. I was finally home.

Mays recorded 16 points in the 81-53 victory over Colorado. LANSAS 5 Russell Schover CANDIES Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Fast-break layups, a threepointer, a block and a mid-air interception reminiscent of Sherron Collins — freshman guard Keena Mays did it all. Mays solidified the Kansas lead with that knockout series of plays in the early minutes of the second half. BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com "It felt really good, I didn't notice it in the moment," Mays said. Mays finished the game with 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting and 2-of-3 from beyond the arch. Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich talked about the impact Mays had on the team. The Jayhawks have struggled recently, but were able to break a five-game losing streak with the victory tonight. "Those are momentum plays for us," Goodrich said. "If something happens like that we get so pumped." The Jayhawks defeated the "No one is happier to get out of January than us and get into February and make a run," Henrickson said. "This team has a chance to get better." Colorado Buffaloes in an 81-53 rout for their second conference victory of the season. Kansas now sits with a 15-7 record overall with a 2-6 mark in conference play. "It felt good to get a win, and get a big one," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Goodrich saw the significance of the game that gave them a morale boost. "We needed this game. For the last two weeks we have struggled, but after this win it feels better," Goodrich said. Goodrich saw differences in transition as a large part of the team's success tonight. Kansas outscored Colorado 10-0 in fastbreak points and scored 21 points off of turnovers. Some of these points came off of Kansas' seven steals and four blocks. "We are gonna start our streak tonight," Mays said. success in the second half of the Big 12 Conference season. Mays is hopeful that this is the turn that the team needed to see "Tonight we came together and this is the strongest we have been in the last two weeks," Goodrich said.

With many competing for a significant role. Part of building a successful program means bringing in players and coaches who know how to win, much like the Kansas City Chiefs did last year. This Kansas recruiting class had 14 players who competed in state championships last season, while 23 total had playoff experience. Usually, all it took was one parent to buy into what Gill was preaching to help push a recruit toward Kansas. If he got two parents, it was a bonus. But the families saw the passion Kansas fans have for their sports and they wanted their sons to be revered as such. A trip to Allen Fieldhouse often made the recruits realize how much the fans love their athletes. The talent of these freshmen is yet to be determined, but their experience is essential. Gill said to give it two or three years and this Kansas team will be competing for championships. "I think the biggest thing that is great for us, no doubt, is going to a basketball game." Gill said. The Jayhawks didn't need to have a good football season to have a recruiting class that looks solid on paper. Kansas' traditions and atmosphere are often enough to interest potential players. That's a bold statement for not yet seeing what his team can do on the field. But from what Gill said Wednesday, these guys seem to know the value of tradition. / There is always the chance that the on-the-field goals set out by coaches and players won't go as planned. But if Gill turns his players into better men than they were before coming to Kansas, he has done his job. And Gill thinks he has another batch of players that can excel on the field, in the classroom and in the community. "This group exemplifies what a student athlete really is." Gill said.

CAMPUS University provides support for students dealing with personal loss BY MAX LUSH mlush@kansan.com His dad's heart had stopped and doctors were busy administering chest compressions, hoping to help his heart beat once more. On Dec. 11, 2010, Ed Schroer, a junior from Topeka, answered a phone call from his mom just as he was heading out to a party with friends. At first, Schroer thought his dad. Gene Schroer, would pull through. That changed when the doctors moved him and his mom, Anne Schroer, to a smaller, more personal waiting room. Schroer remembers his mom saying she did not like the idea of the new waiting room, knowing the doctors were preparing them for the unfortunate news. Two-and-a-half hours of chest compressions later, the doctors delivered the bad news. Schroer's dad had died of heart failure. "I didn't know what to think," Schroer said. "He usually pulls through." For students like Schroer, the University offers various services to help students balance the grieving process with their commitment to school. Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost for student success, said if students told University officials about their loss, or other personal issues they are experiencing, officials would do everything they could to aid the students. "We want them to know that someone, or an office at KU, is here to help and care for them," Tuttle says. "We can help them through processes that may become more difficult when grief-stricken." Tuttle said the biggest worry for her was to make sure students could handle their academic load while grieving, and if they could not, when would they be ready to come back to school. On top of Schroer's tragic news, the Monday after his father's death marked the beginning of finals week and he still had to complete a final project for one of his classes. Luckily, he e-mailed his teacher, who understood his need for an extension and granted Schroer more time to complete his project. "Even though it was one paper, I still felt a lot of pressure because it was just something else I had to worry about," Schroer said. John Wade, a psychologist for KU's Counseling and Psychological Services, said CAPS could offer a place for students to talk about their loss and find ways to get back into a normal routine. "There is a sense after a few months that they don't want to bother their friends anymore about their grief because they think it's annoying." Wade said. "This is a place to be able to devote time to yourself and talk." He said society did a good job of supporting grieving friends immediately following their losses, but two or three months later, people tend to forget, and those who are grieving could still be trying to cope with their losses. Tuttle and Wade both said each person deals with grief differently and that their jobs were to help that person figure out a way to handle their grief and how to get back in a daily routine and perform well in school and in their lives. Schroer, a film major, made a video about his dad to be shown at the funeral as a way to remember him, but he said it also helped his grieving process. Jessica Janasz/KANSAN Edward Schroer, a junior from Topeka, lost his dad during finals week last semester. The University of Kansas makes accommodations for students who experience a death in the family, such as permission for makeup exams and extensions on financial deadlines. "It was pretty tough to do, but it was therapeutic for me to put together," Schroer said. "I felt pretty bad throughout break, but I think it gave me enough time to recuperate and be ready for the next semester".

John also addressed Joel's well-publicized attempts at overcoming alcohol abuse "He's going to hate me for this, but every time he goes to rehab they've been light," John said. "When I went to rehab, I had to clean the floors. He goes to rehab where they have TVs. I love you, Billy, and this is tough love."

Proposed pay cuts reflect poor concern for education EDITORIAL Kansas state legislators recently backed away from a proposal that would have cut 7.5 percent of state employees' salaries, which would have included those at the University of Kansas. Under this plan, legislators would have taken money from university employees' paychecks and redirected it into funds for maintenance and repairs on state campus facilities. Although many of the buildings we teach and learn in need repairs (at a tune much higher than what these salary cuts would have generated), this redirection of revenues was more of an attempt by lawmakers to secure federal stimulus money by maintaining a certain level of funding for education. While the fiscal effectiveness of this action could be debated, we should take notice of how little legislators in Topeka seem to value the role of state and university employees. Their proposed cuts showed disrespect to the individuals who provide a public service that many Kansans rely on. Such pay cuts would not only have affected the salaries of course lecturers at the university, but also those who provide crucial on-campus services that benefit students' health and academic performance. This would have also added to the growing problem of employees leaving the University and moving to work for better pay in the private sector, resulting in the potential loss of skilled lecturers and university staff. Although these pay cuts were not enacted, they reflect many state legislators' lack of commitment toward improving higher education in Kansas. This is demonstrated by their willingness to squander university employees' pay on building maintenance in a shameless effort to If legislators are going to continue to try and take money out of state employees' paychecks, then they should spend it in a manner that actually works to reduce the state's deficits instead of merely spending it to qualify for federal handouts. Even though these cuts were not enacted, they demonstrate a startling lack of commitment that Kansas legislators have toward education in the state they represent. - Spencer Davidson for The Kansan Editorial Board.

Join them together and you have one of the best, most memorable Super Bowl Halftime Shows ever.

A performance of epic proportions, my friends and I still talk about how great it was Unfortunately for MTV, the big peep show' during Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's halftime performance three years later had them banned from producing future halftime gigs.

I guess Chancellor Gray-Little finally took a moment from her bath full of liquid gold to look out the window. M. JOEL MAYER I don't have to wake up early. I listen 1.03 p.m. I woke up again. For real this time. I looked out the window and watched a bunch of Robins try to fly in the blizzard winds. I considered turning on "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan to complete the scene. Anyway, since I'm sure you all loved my power outage play-by-play. I thought I'd give you all a little taste of my snow adventures on Tuesday. BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL ccarmichael@kansan.com 2:16 p.m. After lying in bed for an hour looking through Twitter 7:00 a.m. I woke up early to see if I didn't have to wake up early. I didn't! (cue shameless plug: follow me @ ChanceComical), I decided to turn on The Weather Channel. Did you guys hear about that crazy blizzard?! 2:47 p.m. I finally left my room. My roommate was nowhere to be found. I called him. He went to Game Nut with another friend. At least then I could watch crappy "The King of Queens" reuns without worrying whether someone would judge me or not. 4:12 p.m. I looked outside to check out the blizzard and watched a guy walking down the street carrying a case of beer. How delightfully college! 4:30 p.m. Low on food, I panicked and drank a whole bottle of Pepto- Bismol. Everything looked bubblegum pink. I wondered if I was dying. 5:18 p.m. I got the text message about class being canceled the next day. I opened up Facebook, and my computer started vomiting the word "snow!" 5:49 p.m. I started to watch TV on the couch, but every time I had to get a drink or use the remote my arms had to leave my blanket, and my skin effing touched the cold air for a minute. (I really wish they made an afghan with like sleeves or something. They could call it the Afghan-Freehand. Haha, that'd be the raddest!) 7:34 p.m. I was hungry and ordered some Chinese food. SnowMG, I was hungry! Oh, did I mention yet that I was putting "snow" and "blizzard" into everything? As in, "Oh SNOW, he didn't!" or "What's new pussycat?" SNOW SNOW SNOW" or "Gettin' blizzard, like a SNOW6." SNOW man, it's been a long, long day. 9:23 p.m. The Chinese food finally arrived. I ate it. Apparently "teriyaki chicken" doesn't mean "chicken in teriyaki sauce," it means "giant onions slathered in teriyaki sauce sprinkled with a dash of鸡汁." I am disappointed. I thought about Liz Lemoning it: calling them, demanding a refund and threatening to report them to the Better Business Bureau. I decided against it and just picked out the onions. Like an animal. 1:23 a.m. I went to bed. Having accomplished nothing. But I did eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch out of a box and wrote this column.

Rounding the corner into the room, you find a small-framed woman in a polka-dotted dress rocking the stage. Not only does she know all the words, but she's added some dance moves. Every Monday night, singers, drinkers and multitasker file into the lazzahaus to take the stage.

Edited by Corey Thibodeaux School of Engineering provides option for interdisciplinary computing degree BY WESTON PLETCHER wpletcher@kansan.com A new degree program from the School of Engineering will expand opportunities for students seeking more specialized instruction in computer science. Next fall, students will be able to major in computer science with a focus in one of five fields of study: astronomy, biology, chemistry, geography or physics. Kansas is the first university in the Big 12, and one of just a handful of others in the nation, to offer a degree in interdisciplinary computing. interdisciplinary computing Arvin Agah, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, said the main objective of the Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Computing program was to provide students with the opportunity to study computing within the context of another discipline. A deeprooted understanding of another discipline enables future graduates of the program to more efficiently and economically develop new applications and technologies for their fields of specialization. The proposal for this new degree began during the summer of 2009 and went through revisions in collaboration with the Office of the Provost. The Kansas Board of Regents formally approved the program last month. Agah said there were many positives to come with this new program. degree. degree. "The program will better prepare the students to fill an urgent industry need-fluency in computer science and another discipline," Agah said. "The graduates can assist other disciplines to solve problems and address real challenges we face in the world today. Numerous reports indicate the very good career prospects for graduates of this program." Agah said the only negative that might come with this degree is if the program becomes too popular, class sizes may grow too large. Students who complete this program will be able to pursue careers in a wide range of fields. Science industries, business, government and military sectors are making it a priority to hire people with expertise in computing, Agah said. He also said that relatively few computer scientists practiced the traditional roles of programming-coding, with most applying their computing skills to advance businesses, science, policies and more. tists are in high demand. A study from the Kansas Department of Labor shows computer software engineering is one of the 10 fastest growing occupations in the 2006 $ ^{a} $ 16 Kansas Occupational Outlook But Agah said companies encountered a common hurdle when seeking graduates with the specific expertise that's needed to perform at the highest level as they enter the workforce. the workforce "Through this program, a student studying chemistry who has to come up with some models has the computing capabilities to build and run these models — and the chemistry background as well," he said. away game WATCH PARTY 18+ Kansas vs. Nebraska Feb. 5 doors open at 2pm food provided by BIEMER'S BBQ the Barrel House 729 New Hampshire | 765.856.3835 WATCH PARTY 18+ Kansas vs. Nebraska Feb. 5 doors open at 2pm food provided by BIEMER'S BBQ. the Barrel House 729 New Hampshire | 785.856.3835 FRIDAY $2 BOTTLES & WELLS THE RESERVE ON WEST 31ST APARTMENT HOMES FOR STUDENTS INDIVIDUAL LEASES STARTING AT $349 Pool, free tanning, fitness center, sand volleyball and basketball courts KU bus route and student resource center available Fully furnished: leather furniture; optional wood floors & most utilities included 785-842-0032 www.reserveonwest31st.com text 'reserveKU' to 47464 for leasing info Feb. 5 doors open at 2pm food provided by BIEMER'S BBQ the Barrel House 729 New Hampshire | 785.856.3835 THE PHOGGER DAY FRIDAY $2 BOTTLES & WELLS THE RESERVE OR WEST 31st THE RESERVE ON WEST 31ST APARTMENT HOMES FOR STUDENTS INDIVIDUAL LEASES STARTING AT $349 Pool, free tanning, fitness center, sand volleyball and basketball courts KU bus route and student resource center available.

Jayhawks enjoy the taste of victory WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Senior forward joins 1,000 point club BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com "It was a big night," Mays said. From the beginning of the game to the post-game interviews, something was different. For the first time in two weeks, the lajayhaws had reason to celebrate. Senior forward Krysten Boogaard joined the 1,000-point club for her career, freshman guard Keena Mays scored a career high 16 points and, most importantly, the lajayhaws won 81-53 against Colorado. Kansas got the taste of victory it needed to get back on track midway through the conference season. KANSAS VS. TEXAS KU "We have to find a way to win just to feel better about ourselves," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "It's just like an open sore and we finally got a Band-Aid on it, now we just have to let this sucker heal." Sophomore guard and co-captain Angel Goodrich attributed the victory to teamwork. She said talking to one another in practice and thinking about the inspirational quotes their coaches had given them kept the Jayhawks together. Kansas now sits at 15-7 on the season and 2-6 in league play. Saturday, the Jayhawks will travel down to Austin to face the Longhorns. "We came together and said we needed this win and we needed to get back on track," Goodrich said. Henrickson talked about how the team was counting down the points Where: Austin, Texas Time: Saturday, 2 p.m. for Boogaard and wanted to help her get there. "I think we threw away a thousand balls trying to get it to her," Henrickson said. "I think everyone wanted to be the person who threw Krysten the ball to get her 1,000 points." This may have led to some of the team's 19 turnovers, but had a bigger effect on its 18 assists, led by eight from Goodrich. Each time Boogaard scored and during other pivotal moments in the game, the team jumped off of the bench in excitement. "We get hyped for each other," Goodrich said. Goodrich said the game improved togetherness and created a renewed confidence. "Getting a win like this builds us up." Goodrich said. "It shows us what we can do."

HOCKEY Jayhawks drop the puck to Tigers but still hope to make the playoffs BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com Nearing three minutes left in the third period, the Kansas men's hockey team entered desperation mode. After taking a 2-0 lead midway through the first period, they allowed the Mizzou Tigers to score four unanswered power play goals. The Jayhawks took the lead after a failed wrap-around attempt turned into a mad scramble in front of the Tigers' net with KU's Schilar Kessler batting it home at 14:53 of the first period. "I got hit when I was in front of the net, and I was down, I got back up, and picked up my stick and the puck just happened to be there," Kessler said. Kessler was responsible for both KU goals, with the second coming fairly easy. The Tigers goalie overplayed a puck in the corner, letting it get behind him. Kessler promptly picked up the puck and tucked it in the Mizzou net before the Tigers had enough time to stop the goalie miscue from going up on the scoreboard. With a two-goal lead, the Jayhawks entered the final minute of the first period on the penalty kill, which was for the most part very effective. The Jayhawks did an outstanding job of staying in the box zone defense and keeping their sticks and bodies in the passing lanes, but with 26.4 seconds left in the period, the Tigers ripped a shot from the right face off circle that went top shelf behind KU goalie Brendan Cooper. "I gave the kid a little too much respect, I guess, Cooper said. able to work the cycle down low and get good scoring chances, but no shots were able to penetrate the Tigers' goal line. When it came to the penalty kill, the Jayhawks had a hard time defending the extra man, giving "That was tough, we couldn't overcome that. We couldn't do anything about the extra man." TOM PRENDERGAST Coach Cooper would unfortunately make the same mistake twice after allowing another power play goal to come from the same spot in the second period. However, the freshman from Plano, Texas, stopped an incredible 44 out of 48 shots, a tough number to face at any level. "It's a pretty good amount, a lot more than I've seen in a while, but it would have been nice to have a couple more," Cooper said. In even strength play, the Jayhawks were dominant, however, special teams became an issue early and often. On the power play, Kansas was up four power play goals. "That was tough, we couldn't 'overcome that,' coach Tom Prendergast said. "We couldn't do anything about the extra man." With the Jayhawks one spot ahead of the Tigers in the playoff hunt, this was not the game to lose and not the team to lose against. The Jayhawks have two games remaining, both against St. Louis University, and it's going to take one win to secure the final playoff spot, but this loss is one that will resonate with the team until the next puck drops. "Well, we got dollar night on Wednesday, and then St. Louis next weekend," Cooper said.

Beavers upset Huskies, 68-56 Scott Suggs had a careerhigh 18 points, including five 3-pointers for Washington (15-6,7-3 Pac-10) which lost its second straight. Oregon State (9-12, 4-6) took a 58-52 lead on Omari Johnson's layup off an offensive rebound. After Isaiah Thomas made 2 of 3 free throws for the Huskies, Calvin Haynes made one for the Beavers. It was back-and-forth for much of the game. Oregon State hasn't defeated Washington since Feb. 22, 2007, a 73-65 victory in Corvallis. Haynes' layup and foul shot with 1:48 left extended it to 62-54 and put the Gill Coliseum crowd on its feet. The Beavers made free throws the rest of the way to put it away, snapping an eight-game winning streak for Washington in the series between the two teams. Washington was coming off an 87-80 loss at rival Washington State on Sunday that dropped them two spots in the rankings.

SATURDAY | FEBRUARY 5, 2011 | THE GRANADA THEATRE | DOORS OPEN AT 8PM 8A / **SPORTS** / FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE I'm changing this into a spot for a quick statistical breakdown of something about the Jayhawks, and because I'm a stat geek, my editors are letting me. It seems like a better option than telling you how Kansas matches up with Nebraska...again.Today: Free throws. More importantly, the fact that Kansas doesn't take, or make, enough of them. Through seven conference games, the Jayhawks have taken less than 20 free throws in five of them. They took just nine free throws at Baylor. They are 174th in the country in free throw rate, which measures how effective a team is in getting to the free throw line. In FT+, which essentially takes free throw rate and includes how good the team is at shooting free throws, Kansas is sixth-worst in the country. Take heart in this, though. No. 1 Ohio State, No. 4 Pittsburgh, No. 7 San Diego State, No. 15 Louisville, No. 17 Syracuse and No. 20 Washington are all also in the bottom 11 in the stat. PLAYER TO WATCH Sophomore forward, Thomas Robinson Robinson has played in two games wearing the "LR" patch in remembrance of his late mother. He's finished with 17 points and nine rebounds in both of them. Nebraska's defense is predicated Robinson Bobinson on crashing the paint and doubling any post that touches the ball, so don't expect those numbers again. If he gives some good relief minutes for the Morris twins, though, he'll be particularly valuable against the stingy Huskers. Robinson had nine points on 4-of-6 shooting when the two met in January. Can Kansas get to 70? QUESTION MARK COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY in the Jayhawks manage to post 70 points against the stifling Huskers defense, they'll win. Plain and simple. Two teams have accomplished the feat: Missouri, which beat Nebraska 77-69, and Texas Tech, which won 72-71 two weeks ago in Lubbock. Nebraska has only managed 70 points twice in conference play, and it was against the two worst defenses in the league. Saturday, the best defense in the league, Nebraska, and the fifth-best, Kansas, will meet. Seventy is an admirable goal for either team. Cornhuskers will wail KANSAS VS. NEBRASKA 3 p.m., BOB DEVANEY SPORTS CENTER, Lincoln, Neb. HEARYE, HEARYE "He's definitely one of the premier defenders in the league, but I still think he can become a lot better consistently, where he could certainly take the other team's point guard out of the game. That should be a goal of his, and if he's successful doing that, then usually we're going to be pretty good that day." Jayhawks intend to ruin home record Taylor A. B. KANELE KANSAS 21-1, (6-1) STARTERS Tyshawn Taylor, guard tyshawn taylor, guard Taylor's reinvention of himself as a pure point guard — he's always been more of a combo guard — has been crucial in Kansas' three-game offensive renaissance. Taylor's ability to score is still there, but it seems as if he's more focused on taking care of the ball and setting up the Kansas offense. Bill Self on Tyshawn Taylor MARK MURPHY Reed ★★★★☆ Tyrel Reed, guard It's ludicrous to think Reed's down year from behind the arc is cause for serious concern — even the best shooters go through slumps. But Brady Morningstar is demanding more minutes through his excellent play of late, and Reed's seem the most likely to take the hit, though plenty will call for Josh Selby's as well. Selby ★★★☆☆ I'll let Bill Self take over, talking about the line he has to walk with reigning Selby in and letting him go: "Sometimes when we say 'be under control,' they hear, 'Back it out,' or, 'We can get a better shot than that,' they hear, 'Don't shoot.' Even though you don't say that, that's how they interpret it. It's kind of a fine line with him, you know, 'GO!' He understands that, and he needs to go." Josh Selby, guard DONALD E. MURRAY Richardson ★★★★☆ Morris is only getting better as the competition does. He's averaging 16.7 points and 6.8 rebounds on the year. Through seven games of conference play, he's upped those numbers with 19 points per game and 7.7 boards. He's emphasized taking his man off the dribble rather than settling for jumpers, evidenced by a huge decrease in attempted 3-pointers (less than two per game) and an increased shooting percentage. M. JOHNSON Marcus Morris, forward NEBRASKA 15-6,(3-4) STARTERS Morris has been excellent, no question, in a much increased role for the Jayhawks. That said, there has to be some level of concern in his relative inability to get to the free throw line. Bill Self said the coaching staff is impressing the need to take his man off the dribble, just like with Marcus and Thomas Robinson, in order to get opposing bigs in foul trouble. Markieff, though, has attempted zero free throws in six of 22 games, including against Texas Tech. Morris Markieff Morris, forward M. S. A. B. Richardson was nonexistent in Nebraska's loss to Kansas State. He had three points with zero rebounds or assists. He did have one steal. Against Kansas he wasn't much better. He had six points on 1-7 shooting, but was 4-5 from the line. Richardson will need to contribute on the defensive end to help Nebraska. Walker Brandon Richardson,guard ★★★★★ ★★☆☆☆ Caleb Walker, guard Walker played big for his size against Kansas. He only contributed two points, but grabbed 13 rebounds, 10 on the defensive end, Kansas has been shooting well lately, but Walker will need to collect any long rebound that comes out to the perimeter, if Nebraska wants to hang with a surging Kansas team. with a surging Kansas team. ★★★☆☆ McCray is p than in v conferen 10.4 pol per gam from the fi 3-point and is up from Last g McF KANSAS 32 Toney McCray, guard McCray is playing much better in conference than in nonconference play. In seven BUSINESS MANAGER P. DAVID REMUSS Morris McCray than in nonconference play. In seven conference games, he is averaging 10.4 points per game; four rebounds per game and is shooting 50 percent from the field. Both his field goal, 3-point and free throw percentage is up from nonconference play. Last game against Kansas State, McCray only scored six points in the loss. ★★★☆☆ Lance Jeter, guard Before the season started, Jeter was criticized for not being a scoring threat. Before the season, he was only the main distributor. Before the season, Jeter was only going to do what he needed to do and not take on additional roles. He has done all three this season and has done them well. 43 ★★★☆ Jeter ★★★★★ Jorge Brian Diaz, forward Diaz was awful on the offensive end in the last matchup scoring only four points. But he did collect 12 rebounds, four being on the offensive glass. Diaz will be called upon more with junior college transfer Andre Almeida injured. Diaz was only 4-14 from the field. He is averaging 55.4 percent on the season, but only 43.9 percent in conference play. Tim Dwyer FILM ★★★☆☆ Diaz Mike Lavieri NU TIPOFF ATA GLANCE Nebraska is coming off a 69-53 loss in Manhattan to Kansas State on Wednesday night. The Cornhuskers are 14-0 at home this year with victories against USC, Colorado and then-ranked No. 11 Texas &M. Nebraska holds opponents to 57.1 points per game. According to kenpom.com, the Cornhuskers are the 10th most efficient team in the nation. Nebraska slows offenses down, which was apparent in Kansas' narrow 63-60 victory against Nebraska on Jan. 15 at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas scores 82.7 points per game, eighth in the nation. Nebraska plays a sagging defense that looks like zone and man-to-man at the same time. It doubles the big men when they catch it down low in the corners, which creates turnovers. PLAYER TO WATCH — JOSH SELBY Senior guard Lance Jeter Senior leader Liz Horton Jeter leads the team with 12.4 points per game in conference play. It isn't a lot, but when seeing that Nebraska only scored 64.6 points on average, his 12.4 points is a lot larger. He accounts for 19 percent of the Nebraska points. Nebraska does have a good distribution of scoring and Jeter shooting, but Jeter is called upon more often. He is the main ball carrier, averaging 5.14 assists per conference contest. He is an atypical point guard. He has the body of a linebacker and runs the floor like one—powerfully. He takes care of the ball and distributes. He has the vocal leadership this team needs, be the lone senior starter. QUESTION MARK Will Nebraska remain perfect at home? It's not coincidence that this Nebraska team is winning at home. Coach Doc Sadler has put together a team that plays well within itself. Fans want to come and watch a game at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Nebraska has been feisty at home. It should be a packed house for the Saturday afternoon game. Doc Sadler has this team confident and playing well. However, Kansas and coach Bill Self picked up their first win in Lubbock and this team is clicking on offense. The Morris twins and Thomas Robinson are playing well and Brady Morningstar has found his former shooting touch. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "Our guards are the ones who just took steps backward instead of steps forward. When you play sideways against Kansas State, it's just a matter of time until they completely run you out of your stuff, and you're going to turn it over." - Nebraska coach Doc Saddler after Nebraska's 69-13 loss to Kansas on Feb. 2. BIG 12 SCHEDULE Game Time (CT) Sat., Feb. 5 Time (CT) Kansas State at Iowa State 12:30 p.m. Baylor at Texas A&M 1 p.m. Colorado at Missouri 6:30 p.m. Texas Tech at Texas 8 p.m. XII BIG 12 CONFERENCE Brady Morningstar continues his recent sharpshooting ways. Morningstar's effect on the offense has been tangible in the last few games. His much-improved shooting forces teams to cover all five players on the floor when he's playing, and he's better than any Jayhawk at threading passes between defenders. BIG JAY WILL FEAST ON CORN IF... THE HAWKS WILL BE HUSKED IF... Nebraska's suffocating defense can silence two of the three offensive weapons in Kansas' post. If Kansas gets two of the trio of Marcus and Markieff Morris and Thomas Robinson going, Nebraska will have a hard time keeping it even as close as they did in Lawrence. If only one or zero get going, Kansas' guards haven't shown the offensive firepower necessary to fill the scoring void.

The men's basketball team will take them on in Nebraska Saturday at 3 p.m. www.forbes.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: What two teams have had a better shooting percentage when playing the Jayhawks this season? A: USC and Texas — KU Athletics More than just a basketball team MORNING BREW A. R. Barker BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com The support that the Kansas basketball team showed Thomas Robinson epitomized the team's motto "Family Over Everything" They stayed up with him the night his mother, Lisa, died and attended her funeral in Washington, D.C., in between the games against Colorado and Kansas State. While it seems natural that any team, not just the Jayhawks, would rally around a hurting teammate, an incident in the Big 10 showed that this is not always the case. While this isn't the first time a coach has practiced his players to the brink of exhaustion, Hawkeye Coach Kirk Ferentz's response is what makes this case unusual. According to ESPN's Pat Forde, Ferentz continued his ongoing recruiting spree instead of cancelling visits to return home and be with his current players in the hospital. The Iowa Hawkeyes' football program recently had 13 players hospitalized for rhabdomyolysis, a disease that damages muscle fibers and kidneys and is exacerbated by stress, which the players contracted after enduring abnormally grueling workouts after reporting back from winter break, according to The Cedar Rapids Gazette. I am no expert on the culture Ferentz has created in his 12 years in Iowa City, but I have a hard time believing it is similar to the one Bill Self has oversee since arriving in Lawrence in 2003. Upon learning of Lisa Robinson's death, the basketball team put Robinson well-being before the Texas game, despite it being the most important game to date on the Jayhawks schedule and less than 24 hours away. By staying up all night with the grieving Robinson, the Jayhawks lived up to their "F.O.E." motto, willingly sacrificing energy and preparation for the sake of helping Robinson. A team of basketball players would have gone to bed that Friday night, but the Jayhawks' basketball family is way more than a team. Self and the Jayhawks even went so far as to work with the NCAA to allow the team to pay for Lisa Robinson's funeral, fly to Washington, D.C., to attend the funeral and set up a scholarship fund for Robinson's little sister, Jayla. Both Kansas and the NCAA went out of their way to provide a fair solution for Robinson in his time of need. Ferentz, on the other hand, did anything but go out of his way to help his players. His refusal to cut his recruiting spree in favor of THE MORNING BREW supporting his hospitalized players gave the impression that Iowa football is not a family, but a business. His actions sent the message that gaining new players is more important to him than protecting his players. Conversely, by letting Robinson take as much time off as he needed, thereby treating him as a person first and athlete second. Self undoubtedly did far more good for the team than any recruiting spree could have done. Although the Jayhawks lost to Texas on the court, I imagine that the experience they had with Robinson during that game and in the ensuing week brought the team closer than any on court experience could have. Up in Iowa, I can't imagine that the 13 injured Hawkeyes can say they are any closer to the program, and especially not to their coach. Edited by Caroline Bledowski MEN'S BASKETBALL Team faces foot injuries BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/udk baskeball Kansas' three starting guards — Tyrel Reed, Tyshawn Taylor and Josh Selby — are having foot problems. playing. Reed has a lingering injury in his left foot — coach Bill Self said it was a bone bruise on the bottom of his foot — and saw his minutes cut at Texas Tech after it bothered him for what Self said was the first time in a game. Reed was limited to 16 minutes, 11 off his average. He also said hed be wearing a walking boot when he wasn't Taylor rolled his ankle and left for the locker room in the second half of the Texas Tech game and didn't return. Self said Taylor was fine, though, and that he'd be on the court Saturday. Much less was said about Selby's injury. After Thursday's press conference and about five minutes before practice was set to start, Selby, wearing a walking boot on his right foot, left Allen Fieldhouse with trainer Billy Cowgill. Team spokesman Chris Theisen said he didn't know what the injury was. - Edited by Samantha Collins During her sophomore season, she became the second player in Kansas history to be named the American AWARD (CONTINUED FROM 10A) Fredrick Mugwana Volleyball Coaches' Association National Player of the Week. Garlington This season, she was the top offensive producer in 20 matches for the 17-14 Jayhawks. But, as her coach points out, she does more than attack the ball. "This year she became a much better blocker," coach Ray Bechard said. "Everyone sees the kills she had, but blocks lead directly to points and are equally important." What people may not know is that Garlington owns a 3.79 career grade point average. She earned Academic All-Big 12 First Team honors three times, while being named to the Big 12 Commissioner's and Athletic Director's Honor Rolls every semester, according to a University press release. "My goals were never to win awards or things like that," she said. "I wanted to always compete my hardest and give KU Athletics my all. I wanted to leave my footprint like all the female athletes before me did." Garlington admitted the award was exciting, but said she never planned on receiving it. This semester, Garlington will work on a spring internship in Denver, then graduate in May. Though she is not currently pursuing professional volleyball, she wants to stay involved in some way. She admits a part of her wants to become a coach. As for her experience in Kansas, she will always remember her teammates and the lifelong relationships they created. "Being in the locker room after a big win or a hard practice, being able to argue and vent and triumph together," Garlington said, "It's something that no one else understands." Coach Bechard got everything he expected when Garlington committed to play in Lawrence. "She has the whole student-athlete balance," Bechard said. "She exemplified what a successful student athlete should be like on this campus." — Edited by Sarah Gregory KANSANCLASSIFIEDS ANNOUNCEMENTS JOBS JOBS Personal care attendant/ Needed for young woman w/ autism in Lawrence.

There's no metric to tally those plays officially, but watch the Jayhawks now from even just a month ago and you'll see that they are less aweinducing, perhaps, but in what may not be a coincidence, they are also more efficient. "He's doing better," teammate Mario Little said. "He's just trying to concentrate on the easy plays, and not the real good plays that make SportsCenter." SportsCenter was one of those things Taylor would mention offhand every once in a while. After a great play, he'd laugh about how it'd be on the top plays later that day. So despite — or more likely because of — that, Taylor has turned the ball over just three times in his last four games. In the first 18 games of the season, he failed to string together even three games with that few turnovers. In contrast, though, his assist numbers have dropped from 5.4 game in the nonconference slate to 3.6 in conference play. Not that his teammates or his coaches are complaining. An emphasis has been made by the staff to get a shot off on every possession, and the feisty Nebraska team they face Saturday will make that a challenge. Tyrel Reed said it had been a collective effort, but Taylor had adjusted his game accordingly. "Coach stresses that each time we've got the ball we need to get a shot," Reed said. "Definitely, I don't think we've turned the ball over as much and I think that's as a unit. Tyshawn's done a really good job of taking care of the basketball and getting us in our offense." Along with his safer play, Taylor has seen a dip in points per game as well. Over the last four he's averaged just 4.5 points per game, compared to 8.5 on the season. He had zero against Texas Tech, his first scoreless game since Jan. 20, 2010. But Self isn't concerned with that as long as Taylor takes care of the ball and plays defense like the "premier" defender that Self said he was. "Tyshawn scored 13 points against K-State and was great, and I thought he was just as good against Texas Tech and he scored zero," Self said. "But to me, that's irrelevant. He didn't turn it over either game and he took the other team's point guard out." Edited by Marla Daniels THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS Jayhawks lose to Tigers in Border Showdown HOCKEY | 7A FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2011 Kansas gave up a 2-0 lead, falling apart after the first period. The Jaywhawks have a tough road ahead if they still want to have a shot at the playoffs. The team will face St. Louis University in its two remaining games and needs to win at least one to advance. WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 10A Kansas tightens its game Cautious Taylor focuses his game and is on point for the Jayhawks BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball A couple of weeks ago, Bill Self joked during a press conference that it's remarkable how much easier it is to score when you get a shot off. Don't turn the ball over, he cracked, and the chances of scoring are remarkably elevated. are terminally inactive. Self was joking, but the point he made was entirely true. Kansas' guards have a tendency to turn the ball over an awful lot, but when they don't, Kansas plays better. As of late, Tyshawn Taylor — the usual culprit — has managed to keep the ball in the hands of his teammates. Over the last four games, Taylor has posted a 5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

"His valleys haven't been **Where:** Lincoln, Neb. **Time:** Saturday, 3 p.m. **TV:** Big 12 Network near as deep, and maybe his peaks not quite as high. He's done a really good job on the offensive end making sure we get a shot."

Senior volleyball player Garlington goes for the kill BY ALEC TILSON atilson@kansan.com On a chance recruiting visit four years ago, bored by the listless plains of western Kansas, senior volleyball player Karina Garlington made her decision about attending the University of Kansas - absolutely not, she thought. no ornament. This past month, Garlington received the Marlene Mawson Female Athlete of the Year award. The annual university award honors a senior female athlete who has excelled in competition, maintained at least a 2.5 grade point average and exhibited leadership qualities. "As soon as I got there I fell in love," Garlington said. "I think I committed the next week. It was a no-brainer." But upon arrival, the Colorado native reconsidered. Garlington, an outside hitter, started all four years and finished second in Kansas volleyball history with 1,309 kills. SEEAWARD ON PAGE 9A COMMENTARY Reed excels both on and off court This is not a sports column Tyrel Reed wouldn't want this to be a sport want this to be a sports column. Sure, he is on the No. 2 ranked Kansas Jayhawks and is leading the team in 3-pointers made, which is 43, but that's not that big of a deal. That's just his character. It always has been. always has been. The last two weeks, Tyrel Reed has received compliments on more than just his smooth shot, but also about his life away from the court. And he seems proud of it, as should anybody who cares about Kansas basketball. about Kernels basketball. He has been named a top-10 finalist in Lowe's Senior CLASS Award for men's basketball. He has made the 2010-11 Capital One Academic All-District 7 men's basketball team. He achieved all of this while contributing to a national championship winning team in 2008 and has beaten a majority of his freshman class by graduating in only three and half semesters. He must have more than basketball on his mind, and the awards he is being recognized with are just extra toppings on a glorious ice cream sundae. "That means a lot to me because basketball is eventually going to be gone for me," Reed 2. BY NICO ROESLER proesler@kansan.com said, "And hopefully I can just be a good person, that's my main focus." Leading up to his finalist nomination for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, which is given to student athletes who have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character, and competition. Reed did more than is imaginable for a full-time student. Many people may remember him after he leaves the Kansas team as a dead-eyeshot from long range. He is five 3-pointers away from making Kansas' top 10 3-point field goals made list. However, he has done much more here at Kansas than just make shots. He went to churches and schools to speak, he has volunteered at different sports camps on at the University, including one for Special Olympics athletes. "Those are the things that make a difference in someone else's life and make you feel better," Reed said. "It's not always about yourself, and I think that's the main thing" thing He graduated in December with a pre-physical therapy and exercise science degree and will be attending the KU School of Medicine to study physical therapy next year.

Edited by Samantha Collins THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 88 ACADEMICS Limited learning not true for KU grads SHAUNA BLACKMON sblickmon@kansan.com Nothing is more terrifying for most students than putting in four years of hard work, countless hours of studying, and thousands of dollars into a college education, just to find out that it might have been for nothing. The research from "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses," by sociologists Richard Arum from New York University and Josipa Roksa from the University of Virginia, involved more than 2,300 undergraduates and found that 36 percent of college students show no significant improvement in critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing by the time they graduate. Matt Melvin, the assistant vice provost for student success, doesn't see this-as a problem for the University of Kansas. "On average, the curricular and co-curricular experience provided to an engaged student provides them with an opportunity to develop skills necessary to succeed in the new work environment." Melvin said. Cody Alley, a junior from Lawrence, is in the UKAnTeach program and helped teach a class at Central Jr. High his first year at the University. He said that while his experience teaching was only a glimpse into the real world, the hands on experience provided him with the basic skills he would need in the work place. While some students may still be lacking a few skills, employers in the area are usually impressed with KU graduates.

Chris Bronsn/KANSAN CRIME Vandals damage six-foot menorah at Chabad Center for Jewish Life BY JONATHAN SHORMAN jshorman@kansan.com Vandals apparently broke apart a mandarin that sat outside the Chabad Center for Jewish Life, 1203 W. 19th St., this weekend, said Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, co-director of the center. the six-foot-high metal menorah was broken into two pieces horizontally and many of the branches were taken from the site. Tiechtel said. He said he believes the incident was vandalism and not a hate crime. Tiechtel also said because of the large size of the menorah and because it is made of metal and would be difficult to break apart, several individuals were probably involved. Lawrence police said damage was estimated at $1,000. Police believe the incident occurred some time between 6 p.m. Friday and 6:45 p.m. Saturday. The center hopes to recover the menorah and law enforcement is involved. Tiechtel said. However, a campaign is also underway to raise money for a "bigger, brighter, better" menorah. "Our approach is very positive," Tiechtel said. The KU Chabad website includes information about the campaign for a new mentorah and a form to allow individuals to donate.

District Attorney Charles Branson, along with family members of victims in Lawrence, presented testimony supporting House Bill 2044 to legislators in Topeka on Jan. 27. The House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee will work on the bill and Chairwoman Pat Colloton said she hopes the bill will come out of committee on Monday or Tuesday in order to be heard on the house floor. House Bill 2044 increases the penalties for leaving the scene of an accident where great bodily harm or injury occurs. "If this bill "If this bill can deter drivers who have hit someone from leaving their victims on the side of the road without aid, seemingly a more egregious crime than the accident itself, then it may save accident. lives and deserves your support," Jeffrey Stolz said. Stolz's wife's 20-year-old sister Rachel Leek was killed while riding her bicycle in 2009. The driver who killed Ryan had been drinking heavily and when he left the bar that night, one of his friends tried to prevent him from driving. After the accident and without rendering help to Ryan, he drove back to the bar where he told his friends "something bad" had happened, according to Kanost. Ryan Kanost, a 2006 Lawrence senior, was walking with a group of friends crossing Kentucky Street in a crosswalk late one night in September 2006. A car struck Ryan in the crosswalk — killing him — and fled, according to testimony provided by Branson given by Ryan's father, Michael Kanost to legislators. The driver was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with work release. "As lawmakers, sometimes you need to force people to do the right thing." From 2004 to 2008, hit-and-run accidents averaged 9.2 percent of all accidents in Kansas, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. Thirty-five accidents resulted in death Branson said he can look back at several instances during the last few years where someone's left the scene of a fatality accident and there was proof that they were possibly driving under the influence. But once they flee the scene, Branson said, they "rob" the state the chance of trying to build proof of intoxication at the time of the RYAN CRUM Son of a hit-and-run victim in death. The current law, some believe, provides an incentive for intoxicated drivers to leave the scene of an accident rather than face the consequences of a driving under the influence conviction. "They're weighing their options, if you will." Branson said Under the law, someone who leaves the scene of an injury accident is charged with a level 10 persons felony. In essence that means that someone with no criminal history is looking at probation. person can be sentenced to jail. Ultimately, the discretion will still lie with the courts and the judge, based on the circumstances of the case. House Bill 2044 increases the penalty from a level 10 to a level eight persons felony, which increases the time that a The big change though, Branson said, is if an injury or death occurs. This bill increases the severity of the crime and if the bill passes, the person would have the possibility of serving 32 months in prison. Branson said ultimately his hopes for the bill are twofold. He hopes this will take the incentives out of fleeing the scene and encourage people to seek medical assistance. House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence said, "We've unfortunately had a lot of tragic instances here in Douglas County and several family members of victims pointed out to me that they thought there was a real deficiency in the law whereby people who have usually been driving drunk and have killed someone are not being punished to the degree they ought to be." Ryan Crum's father Thomas Crum was killed in 2008 in a hit-and-run accident and spoke out in support. "As lawmakers, sometimes you need to force people to do the right thing," Crum said. "This is one of those times."

"KU students are good at the technical side as far as their specific discipline," Gibbar said. Phyllis Stevens, the human resources manager at BernsteinRein, a large advertising company in Kansas City, Mo., has similar views of KU graduates. She said overall the quality of applicants she received from the University was pretty high. The one problem Stevens encounters, not specifically from the University but recent graduates across the board, was that student lacked skills in attention to the small details such as spelling and professionalism, or the soft skills. While the 'Limited Learning' study paints an unflattering image of college students, it is not critical thinking and writing skills that seem to be the main problem for KU students. Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, assistant vice provok for student success, said that in order to help distinguish oneself, students should take academically challenging courses and stay engaged.

America should measure progress differently POLITICS In his State of the Union address, President Obama said that we have never measured progress by the yardstick of profits and economy alone, but that we "measure progress by the success of our people, by the jobs they can find and the quality of life those jobs offer" and "by the opportunities for a better life that we pass on to our children." While we may appreciate Obama's inspirational optimism, the fact is that the train wreck of our collective action exposes our country's rigid yardstick of profit and economy. It sounds better when we call our financial motivations "quality of life" improvements, but let's face it, Americans value progress in dollars. Quality of life means access to money that can be exchanged for anything we need or want. Success is a job that enables us to buy a huge house, a sexy car and to maximize the diagonal dimension of our television set. If we really measured progress by the equitable access to employment, Nicole Bissett BY RAEANNE HANDSHY rhandshy@kansan.com how would we explain the 7.3 percent discrepancy in unemployment rates for whites (8.5 percent) and African Americans (15.8 percent)? If we measured progress by the quality of life that those jobs offer, how would we explain the millions of working Americans who do not have access to health insurance? And if we measured progress by the "better life" we plan to provide future generations, how could we justify leaving our children a $14 trillion debt, a planet raped of resources full of dirty air? Legitimate quality of life considerations would require us to pursue progress in areas that we currently struggle to measure,areas such as social justice,environmental stewardship and realistic,fiscal responsibility. The truth is that we have been ignoring the full scope of our human value system, and we are beginning to realize the physical, emotional and spiritual consequences of that neglect. We have been forced to make choices between company profits and environmental protection, between what is profitable for us and what respects the rights of others. These choices put us in countless psychological and emotional conflicts that force us to compromise our values in order to meet financial goals. We do care about our local community and global environment but societal expectations equate financial achievement with personal responsibility and success. The good news is that we have the opportunity to change the rules. More and more people are choosing to operate according to a new system that honors the full range of human values. This new set of values doesn't ask us to sacrifice financial security. It simply gives us permission to consider social justice and environmental stewardship as well. For those of us preparing to enter the professional world, this shift presents an opportunity to use our talents for more than ensuring our bosses' six, or nowadays, nine figure salaries. It represents an opportunity to consider the things we care about and work toward the goals that truly inspire, motivate and excite us. Handshy is a first-year MBA student from Lawrence. The Weekly How do you feel about Valentine's Day? Poll Vote now at KANSAN.COM/POLLS LETTER TO THE EDITOR Unwanted pregnancy is never a joking matter We, the Commission on the Status of Women, would like to respond to the recent advice column about unplanned pregnancy. We felt as though what presumably was meant to be a humorous piece about the male perspective of unplanned pregnancy was instead inappropriate and offensive. First, let us say that the experience of unplanned pregnancy is never funny. Period. We, too, may have chuckled at the antics of Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigel in "Knocked Up" but these authors are no Seth Rogen, Jason Segel and Jonah Hill, and their piece is far from amusing. Instead, it not only makes light of but also debases what for hundreds of women and men everyday is a very serious issue. While Kilgore's "good" advice does bother to note, "This doesn't suck as much for you as it does for her," and even suggests that the man might begrudgingly accept the duties of fatherhood, both Schumaker and Nichols abandon any kind of respect for the experience of unplanned pregnancy with their grossly offensive "humor." Shumaker suggests in his "bad" advice that the reader simply ignore his child and girlfriend, shirking his legal responsibilities as a parent, a suggestion made all the less humorous by the fact that this actually happens every day, leaving women and children across the nation in poverty. But Nichols "ugly" advice,by far, is the most offensive in its suggestion that the reader might use the market for human trafficking to trade his child for a piece of merchandise. Human trafficking, too, happens daily right here in the United States and is certainly no laughing matter. Such gross disrespect for the experience of women and men around the world (and on our campus) who experience the pain and confusion of unplanned pregnancy is appalling. We can only hope that if faced with such a difficult issue in their own lives these authors will receive more compassion than they offer. The Commission on the Status of Women at KU is a campus organization that focuses on gender discrimination. Signed, CSW president Meredith Pavicic,a senior from Leawood. HEALTH Go red for women to prevent heart disease T the recent death of Lisa Robinson at the mere age of 43 highlights the importance The recent death of Lisa Robinson at the mere age of 43 highlights the importance of women's heart health. February is National Heart Awareness Month. As a female college student, I am constantly reminded about my health and safety: breast cancer, human papillomavirus leading to cervical cancer, and the dangers of domestic violence and abusive relationships are just some of these concerns. These topics are all vital, but never has heart health been stressed as significant at my age. According to the National Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is still the No.1 killer of women. NHA also said "while one in 33 women has a chance of dying from breast cancer, one in three will die from heart disease without prevention." Luckily, heart disease is also the No.1 most preventable disease in this country. Eighty percent of these cardiac ailments may be prevented if the right life choices are made. Both women and men can develop plaque in their large coronary arteries. This causes them to narrow, which eventually creates a blockage because blood cannot pass through. However, it is hard to detect plaque during an angiogram. The plaque forms a thin layer in the lumen rather than lumpy blocks, so blood still flows evenly. Women, on the other hand, are more likely to develop heart disease in the tiny arteries also known as micro vessels. If enough micro vessels are under stress, BY MONICA SAHA msaha@kansan.com So,why go RED? the outcome is the same as a blocked artery. Because the life decisions we make now will be carried out in our future. A solid foundation for minimizing your risk of heart disease is founded by lowering both your blood pressure and cholesterol numbers. This is attainable by healthier diet choices: stopping smoking, reducing alcohol intake and exercising more. I know we are stressed out college students, but add some almonds, salmon (omega three fatty acid), and blueberries to your diet. Instead of taking the bus, walk to class! It's better to work on health improvements now then pay for it later. Keep wearing your pink, blue and purple ribbons, but remember the red ones as well. Maybe wear a nice red dress when you go out. Wear your red lipstick. Wear those red heels. Wear your red KU gear. Go red for women. Saha is a junior in neurobiology from Overland Park. HUMAN RIGHTS Revolution must consider women's rights As a young female student in the heartland of America, I face complex equality issues that often go unnoticed. Not to discount these issues, but imagine having to confront the most basic inequalities every day. Now,throw in a political revolution Egypt has a lot to be proud of as a nation. Most obvious is the country's rich and interesting history, which makes tourism an important element of Egypt's economy. It has stood as an important ally to the United States and Israel over the years.And,it has a generation of young people ready to stand up for how they believe their country should be governed. 2013年 年度人物 And, imagine the government has always accommodated such cultural divisions. BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansan.com Now, throw in a political revolution. According to a New York Times article from last July, the recent shift many Egyptian women have made t public work has not resulted in any kind of cultural "liberation" for women Although women in Egypt can study at universities, and many have actively participated in the political unrest, cultural traditions are still an obstacle to women's equal standing in public life. in the country. In fact, this lack of change has discouraged many women making the traditional, confining home life seem more appealing. This home life is not exactly the equivalent to being a stay-at-home mom in American society. The World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Report rated Egypt 120th out of 128 in gender equality, emphasizing problem areas of political empowerment and genuine female opportunity. In fact, the high unemployment that has been one reason for political unrest is significantly affecting women (although unemployed men in Egypt have been the media's focus—another example of the strong cultural gender dichotomy). It is safe to assume that the disconcert- Though there have been whispers that a democracy might actually slow progress for women's rights, if women stand their ground and demand that their rights be taken into consideration during the transition, it could be a major victory for gender equality. Though this may seem indicative of progression toward gender equality, the young women of Egypt must make this a priority as they shift toward a more democratic Egypt.

The other three remain up in the air. Margene Swarts, assistant director for Development Services for the city, said the city may make entirely new buildings for the units, or it may just refurbish old buildings. She also said the housing will be geared more toward families, but that's not to say that students can't live there. City council members raised a "Some students are families," Swarts said. "That doesn't necessary preclude them." concern in the city commission meeting last week, saying that in a two-bedroom unit, four students may try to squeeze in to reduce rent. Swarts said that since these units are geared toward families, that idea hasn't been an issue. Rebecca Buford, executive director for Tenants to Homeowners, said the organization only owns land east of Massachusetts Street, making these properties farther from campus and less likely to see a problem with students squeezing people in She also said she hopes the families who rent these properties will own them; the goal of these properties is to help families make a transition into homeownership. "When you talk about low income housing, that freaks people out. "It freaks neighbors out," Buford said. "We're talking about workforce housing." Tenants in these properties would have to meet certain income eligibility requirements. The tenants in one property will have to make 50 percent of the annual average income of Douglas County, while the other three properties will require tenants to make 80 percent of that number. The actual monetary value of those figures depends on how big the families are that rent the units. Buford said students are more than welcome to rent these properties as well, as long as they meet the requirements. She also said the properties will be especially helpful for recent graduates looking for a more permanent place to live. She said the first property's construction could begin as early as March and be rentable by the summer. Edited by Becca Harsch THE HOUSING PLAN WHO: The City of Lawrence and Tenants to Homeowners WHAT: The city will build four low-income housing units. WHEN: Construction is expected to begin this spring, and units may be available to rent by the summer. WHERE: The first site is a vacant lot at 2123 Rhode Island. Three more units will be built at properties east of Massachusetts Street. WHY: The goal of the properties is to help families make a transition into ownership. COST: The project will be funded by a $475,000 grant. The vacant at 1212 Rhode Island Isle is the future site for a housing project subserved by the city. With the help of the organization Transit Homeowner, there are the project is envisioned more families in Maryland, Margaret's assistant for development for Development Services for the city, said it would innoce to students as well.

Since the Chinese have traditionally had a different method for computing the seasons and their calendar, the Chinese New Year falls at a different time than Jan. 1. This year's Chinese New Year was Feb. 3. The Chinese Students and Scholars Friendship Association (CSSFA) celebrated in the Kansas Union on Saturday, Feb. 5 by having a talent show in Woodruff Auditorium. While the main event was mainly in Chinese, some events were also translated into English, as the crowd was open to everyone. Tickets to the show and the dinner that followed were able to be purchased the week before.

BY NICOLE WENTLING nwentling@kansan.com Linton received the PAESMEM for creating a method to help science students at Haskell Indian Nations University make the transition to the University. Throughout the past 12 years, Linton has written grant proposals for the project that have resulted in $14 million in funding. The White House established this award to recognize mentors who expand the participation of underrepresented groups in the sciences. According to the National Science Foundation, the awardees are those who "serve as exemplars to their colleagues and are leaders in the national effort to more fully develop the Nation's human resources in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics." Linton's project receives grants from Bridges to Baccalaureate, Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD), Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE), Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP), and the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Aids. Because of these grants, Haskell students receive tutoring, skill enhancement and the opportunity to participate in research experiences in KU laboratories.

Taylor finished the game with 6 points, 5 assists, and 3 total rebounds. After Nebraska's slow play Missouri offers different style BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com There are plenty of ways to describe Missouri: balanced, deep, fast, athletic, talented, uptempo. There are plenty of ways to describe Kansas, too; balanced, deep, fast, athletic, talented, uptempo. But there's more to it than that. The Jayhawks have a way of adjusting to the tempo of whatever team they play. Because of the variance of their depth — Kansas has half-court guards like Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar and pressure guys like Tyshawn Taylor and Josh Selby, who is doubtful for Monday — they can play at any tempo and be relatively comfortable doing so. "We know Tyshawn's our last point guard," Marcus Morris said about the different abilities of the guards. "I think of Brady as our more "Offensively, that's as good as we can execute," Bill Self said after the victory. Taylor may be more suited to run with the Tigers, though, considering that he's the Jayhawks "fast" point guard. But the Jayhawks won't have a problem with running. Bill Self said they'd like it even more. "This is going to be a fun game," Self said, "because both teams play fast. We always want to play fast. It's going to be a game with a lot of possessions, and the kids love playing in games like that." The biggest concern for Self and the Jayhawks, though, is the transition game that Missouri loves so much. "Coach talks about that all the time," Taylor said, "how bad we are at it." "We have to do a better job of staying under control." BILL SELF Coach subble, get open shots point guard. He's a smart player" It's not that Kansas lacks the personnel, Self insists, but that the players, for some reason, aren't making the plays. The The Tigers, on the other hand, are built for speed, and they are at their best when they're running. Statistically, eight of their nine worst offensive performances have come when they play a slower-than-average game for them. Their average, for comparison's sake, is almost three possessions per game faster than anyone else in the conference, and nine possessions faster than the Jayhawks' last opponent, Nebraska. The Jayhawks played brilliantly against Nebraska's suffocating defense and snail's tempo, led by Morningstar's 19 points and six assists. safe money is on the problem that Self identified early in the season — Kansas' guards, particularly Taylor and Selby, are wild. "We're all out of control," Self said. "We run over people more than any team in the country probably. I think against K-State they attempted seven charges in transition and got four or five of them. It wasn't just Josh (Selby), it was everybody, we have to do a better job of staying under control." Edited by Emily Soetaert WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks stay positive despite loss to Longhorns BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com AUSTIN, Texas — Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich broke her career assists record against Texas on Saturday with 14 assists, allowing access for the Jayhawks in the paint. "She played awesome tonight," sophomore forward Carolyn Davis said. "She was being aggressive and drawing defense and then dropping the ball down low." Kansas fell 80-68 to Texas in Austin, dropping to 15-8 in the season and 2-7 in conference play. Davis led Kansas with 18 points on 8-11 shooting. She added six rebounds in only 20 minutes of play. Sophomore guard Monica Engelman and junior forward Aishah Sutherland joined Davis in double figures with 10 and 12 points, respectively. Goodrich's help was not enough for the Jayhawks, who fell behind in nearly every other stat, from free throws to rebounds. The Jayhawks faced foul trouble early and ended up recording 23 fouls for the game. Davis said most of the fouls were because of little mistakes. "We were not being smart and disciplined." Davis said. Senior guard Marisha Brown fouled out, while Davis and senior forward Krysten Boogaard ended the game with four fouls apiece. The Jayhawks were outrebounded 44-33 during the game, highlighted by a 17-9 differential on the offensive boards. The Longhorns shot 18-24 from the free-throw line, which allowed them to keep the Jayhawks at a distance, only shooting 6-12. They also found success from beyond the arc, hitting eight 3-pointers compared with four by Kansas. KANSAS 23 22 Kansas will return home in a couple days to practice before hosting Iowa State on Wednesday at 7 p.m. "They were going to the boards hard and we weren't matching their intensity," Davis said. "We still have a lot of confidence in ourselves," Davis said. "We are just going to try to keep moving forward." Despite the loss, Davis is still positive about the games to come this season.

KIRCHER BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Kansas rolled into Lincoln, Neb., this weekend prepared to challenge, statistically speaking, the best defense in the Big 12 Conference. Going into the game, Nebraska allowed 57.5 points per game to its opponents and was 14-0 at home in the Bob Devaney Sports Center. But those statistics didn't include the Kansas outlier. A warning to the opposition: your team's safe haven is no longer safe. Not with the jayhawks who turn tendencies into dust. The Jayhawks hardly showed up when coach Doc Sadler and his Cornhuskers visited Lawrence on Jan. 15. Kansas snuck away with a 63-60 victory, but coach Bill Self said that Nebraska was the "superior team." On Saturday, Kansas was able to use its lackluster showing in January as a reference point for motivation. The result: an 86-66 victory in Nebraska's house. Forget about stout defense and that clean slate at home. "To score 80 points on a Doccoached team in their building means you probably played pretty good offense," Self said. Kansas sunk shots whether they were wide open or contested. It just didn't matter; they were all dropping on Saturday. Senior guards Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed kept up with their prowess by the perimeter. Junior forward Markieff Morris punished defenders in the paint or behind the three-point line, where he drained all three of his attempts. Such a diverse and persistent attack dizzied the Cornhuskers. But trend-smashing is nothing new with this year's team. The Jayhawks have routinely displaced their foes' calling cards. Take the 85-65 victory at Baylor on Jan. 17, for example. "It was very frustrating because you work so hard to get back into it and then they make you pay," Nebraska senior guard Lance leter said. Then there was the 88-66 victory on Feb. 1 at Texas Tech. Despite the fact that the Red Raiders usually hover in the bottom of the Big 12 standings, Self had never won in Lubbock, Texas. Then five Jayhawks posted double figures in scoring and Self had his victory at the United Sprint Arena. Less than two weeks after Baylor senior guard LaceDarius Dunn torched Morgan State with 43 points, Kansas held him to iust 13. "You have to give Kansas a lot of credit for coming out and really punching us in the face," Baylor coach Scott Drew said. "They were just dead like zombies," Texas Tech coach Pat Knight said of his players after the loss. These are the actions of a title contending team. The Jayhawks are punching people in the face, metaphorically speaking. They're making zombies out of basketball players. Sure, even the finest teams trip here and there on their paths to glory. But if the Jayhawks keep breaking their challenger's backbone, such as scoring 86 points against the defensive-centric Cornhuskers, they could stand atop the highest plateau. "You can't control if the ball goes in or out," Nebraska junior guard Brandon Richardson said. "You just have to leave it on the floor and at the end of the day live with the result."

While most people are focused on the game Bill Self and his players have to win tonight, many people missed another contest. Last Thursday the Independence Center was the home of the Border Showdown On Ice. Sarah M. Ramos My main experience with hockey up to last week was the movie "Miracle" and watching the Florida Panthers with my dad when I was three. All I remember is that everything smelled funny and they had really good ice cream. But last Thursday I made the drive to Independence, Mo., to check out the KU-MU hockey game. Why? Because I wanted to see people hit each other. I mean, hockey is supposed to be the sport where tough guys are tough guys. They are supposed to slam each other into walls and no player is supposed to have a full set of teeth. I figured that if the fans at the KU-MU game got into some knock-out brawls, these hockey players would be pretty fun to watch. players would be preyed. The Independence Center was a little far from packed, but quite a few fans did show up dressed up in their teams colors. When the teams skated onto the ice KU fans cheered for the Jayhawks and booed the players dressed in black and gold, and the MU fans did the same for their teams. It felt like a good old-fashioned border war.

At the end of the game I wasn't going to scan the ice for missing teeth. While I was envisioning the hockey players skating to a beefed up version of "Swan Lake", Missouri scored two goals and it was a tied game. It was then that hockey turned into hockey. KU players started to slam MU down like the Lawrence burning thugs that they were (or their ancestors were). There were fights and people getting put in the penalty Unfortunately for KU fans, Missouri beat Kansas. They scored two more unanswered goals that gave them the 4-2 win. When the players walked passed me on the way to the locker room, with their heads hung and tired eyes, I realized that this loss, to them, was like losing to Missouri at home tonight. This was their big game and they let a two-point lead slip away from them. two-point lead slip away. He will "We look forward to this game all year, both teams do," Senior forward Price Duncan said.

Green Bay has the newest Super Bowl hit: Aaron Rodgers. Capping one of the greatest postseasones for any quarterback, Rodgers led the Packers to their first NFL championship in 14 years Sunday. 31-25 over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers reclaimed the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named for their legendary coach who won the first two Super Bowls and is making his own star turn in New York these days in the play named after him. Rodgers, the game's MVP, thrilled his legion of Cheesehead fans with a spectacular six-game string that should finally erase the bitterness of the Brett Favre separation in Green Bay. He's now equal with Favre in Super Bowl wins, and he extended the Packers' record of NFL titles to 13, nine before the Super Bowl era. "It's what I dreamt about as a little kid watching Joe Montana and Steve Young." Rodgers said, "and we just won the Super Bowl." The Packers QB threw for three touchdowns, two to Greg Jennings, and the Packers (14-6) overcame even more injuries, building a 21-3 lead, then hanging on to become the second No. 6 seed to win the championship. Coincidentally, the 2005 Steelers were the other. Rodgers threw for 304 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson, who had nine catches for 140 yards to make up for three big drops. Rodgers found Jennings, normally his favorite target, for 21- and 8-yard scores. Then the favored Packers held on as Pittsburgh (14-5) stormed back. "We've been a team that's overcome adversity all year," Jennings said, who noted injuries to Charles Woodson and Donald Driver. Few teams have been as resourceful as these Packers, who couldn't wait to touch the trophy honoring their greatest coach — and their title.

He said he thought Morningstar did a good job of stepping up in the starting roll. LINCOLN, Neb. — Kansas and Nebraska played at Bob Devany Sports Center for the last time as members of the Big 12 Conference. Kansas defeated Nebraska 86-66, but were not led by the Morris twins. "I really don't expect much of a drop off even though I know our best players have to play," Self said. "I think we have a bunch of best players." Self said it would be difficult to lose Marcus and Markieff. He attributed the missed freethrows to the ball. He said the Adidas ball is smaller and harder to grip than the Wilson ball Kansas uses. He said it was harder to put the ball in the basket even though he went 5-7, Markieff went 6-6 and Morningstar went 5-7. Self said the two are the best passers and that when they pass well, the rest of the team does as well. Marcus agreed with coach Bill Self, who said this was some of the best offensive play from the team. Morris said the team could do better offensively with freshman guard Josh Selby, who sat with a stress reaction in his right foot. Edited by Samantha Collins The two combined for 33 points on 11-13 shooting. Both misses were three-pointers by junior forward Marcus Morris. The Morris' success came in large part from the shooting and passing of senior guard Brady Morningstar, who had his best statistical game of the season. "I got to get back to work shooting on my free-throws," Marcus said. Confidence is the reason Marcus and Markieff have been successful this season. The two are averaging 16.7 points per game and 60.1 percent from the field, and 13.1 points per game and 58.7 percent from the field, respectively. Junior forward Markieff Morris puts up a basket against the Huskers on Saturday afternoon in Bob Devaney Sports Center at Lincoln, Neb. Morris shot a perfect 6-6 and 3-3 from the arch scoring a total of 17 points against the Huskers. The biggest downfall for the two is their free-throw numbers. The two are a combined 66.5 percent from the line. Success in the postseason could be 'make or break' depending on the free-throw shooting, especially from these two because of how many touches they have down low. "He's shooting with a lot of confidence." Marcus said. "I think they demand a lot of attention, which opens up things for everybody else," junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. 4. Game to Remember Morningstar In two of the last three games, a Jayhawk has had the best performance of his career and made this part of my job really easy. Thomas Robinson's 19-point, seven-rebound effort against Kansas State, with everything going on in his personal life, was the first one. Morningstar's 19-point, six-assist, zero-turnover performance Saturday was the second. Morningstar has scored more one other time in his career, but that was against Coppi State, who doesn't defend quite Brady Morningstar With Josh Selby out of the lineup, Johnson got a chance to fight his way back into the rotation as a one-game fill-in. Johnson went 1-for-4 from the field for two points and an assist to go along with three boards in 14 minutes. It looks like he'll have one more opportunity to find a rhythm against Missouri Monday, but if he doesn't produce,he'll be reduced to a spot minutes role. Johnson Elijah Johnson Game to Forget TRENDING was against Coppin State, who doesn't defend quite like Nebraska.

The Jayhawks had an effective field goal percentage of 70 percent, easily their best of the season. Effective field goal percentage counts three pointers made as 150 percent as valuable as a two-point field goal, because three pointers are, of course, worth half-again as many points. By the more common measures, Kansas was no less impressive. The Jayhawks hit 55.6 percent of their shots and a season-high 13 threes on 54.2 percent shooting from outside. If the Jayhawks can average the same points per possession (1.25, eighth best on the season), and adjust to Missouri's much quicker pace, they'd score 93 points Monday night. PLAYER TO WATCH Marcin Witkowski Morningstar Brady Morningstar senior gaurd, Where did this come from? Morningstar actually had an offensive rating double that of Marcus Morris' Saturday, and Morris was no slouch. Morningstar played a season-high 37 minutes and could barely miss, hitting 5-of-7 seven shots, all of them from behind the arc. He was effective from the free throw line as well, hitting 4-of-5 from there. Tack on his six assists and zero turnovers, and Morningstar played a near-perfect game on the offensive side of the ball. Even if Selby is available to play, Morningstar may get the nod over him if he is not at 100 percent. There's no doubt Morningstar has earned more minutes with his recent play — the question is whose minutes he has earned. How will Kansas handle Missouri's balance? QUESTION MARK That question needs some explaining. After all, Bill Self has said several times that he's got seven or eight guys that play at the level of starters. But Kansas is like most teams in that there are a handful of players who can be reasonably expected to take the shot at the end of each possession. On Kansas, it's the three posts — the twins and Thomas Robinson and Josh Selby who use the most possessions. They all use at least 24 percent of the possessions that they are a part of. Missouri is much more balanced in that they have zero players using 24 percent of their possessions, but eight players using anywhere from 19 to 24 percent. What that boils down to is that Kansas cannot afford to key on one player, because there are seven more waiting to fill their shoes. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "They're like little gnats that won't leave the kitchen when you leave the dishes in there." Taylor GAME DAY Marcus Morris on Missouri PETER NICOLAS AWARD KANSAS 22-1,(7-1) STARTERS Tyshawn Taylor, guard CITY OF NEW YORK Reed CARLISLE JOHNSON Selby Taylor isn't scoring like he used to lately — in his last two, he's averaging just three points per game — but he's still one of the best assist men in the conference. Even though his numbers have dipped a little bit, it's been in conjunction with better play from the guards around him and smarter play on his part. He's turned the ball over just six times in the last five games while amassing 20 assists. A match made in rival heaver KANSAS VS. MISSOURI 8 p.m., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, Lawrence It appears that Reed found his stroke against Nebraska, hitting 50 percent of his threes en route to 14 points. Reed's also a solid rebounder, especially considering that he is undersized for his position. Of Kansas' six guards (including Travis Releford) Reid is by far the best rebounder, with 70 on the season compared to second-place Tyshawn Taylor's 44. Josh Selby is averaging a similar clip, but missed the first nine games. ★★★★☆ Josh Selby. guard Morris Selby is officially doubtful, but as often as he's been described as a tough kid, it's hard to believe he'd miss his first shot at Missouri and guard Kim English, who he called a "big brother" to him. But as anyone with a big brother knows, there's nothing sweeter than taking him down. Selby said he and English haven't talked about the game: "And I'm not sure we will." SAMANTHA DURING ★★★☆☆ BORDER SHOWDOWN Marcus Morris, forward PETER SCHNEIDER ★★★☆ Morris, true to his season-long form, didn't need a lot of shots to be effective against the Cornhuskers on Saturday. In conference play, he's taken 10 or more shots in only half the games, but he's still scored in double figures in all eight. Saturday he was 5-of-7 from the field with both misses coming from outside the three-point line. He finished with 16 points, in part because he got to the free throw line more times than in any game since the conference opener. Morris ★★★★★ Markieff Morris, forward Morris, true to his season-long form, didn't need a lot of shots to be effective against the Cornhuskers on Saturday. In conference play, he's taken 10 or more shots in only half the games, but he's still scored in double figures in all eight. Saturday he was 5-of-7 from the field with both misses coming from outside the threepoint line. He finished with 16 points, in part because he got to the free throw line more times than in any game since the conference opener. ★★★★ Tim Dwyer MISSOURI 18-5,(4-4) STARTERS Matt Pressey, 6-foot-2 junior guard Matt Pressley, 6-foot-2 junior guard Tairu is averaging nine points a game. He is shooting 33.3 percent from behind the arc. He is one of two starters that has a positive assist/turnover ratio. He is averaging one assist per game and 0.68 turnovers per game. He has 55 rebounds on the season, 19 of them coming on the offensive end. ★★★☆★★ Pressey Kim English, 6-foot-6 junior guard Roberson is the main ball handler for the Red Raiders. He leads the team with 82 assists, 4.1 per game. He is second with 12.9 points per game. His average of 1.4 steals per game leads the team, although Brad Reese has more total steals. Roberson is the player Texas Tech wants at the line if the game is close at the end. He is shooting 79 percent, a team best for players with 25 attempts. ★★★★☆ English Marcus Denmon, 6-foot-3 junior guard ★★★★★ marcus Denmon, 6-foot-3 junior guard Lewandowski is fourth on the team with 9.3 points per game. His 5.1 rebounds per game put him as second on the team behind Singletary. He is also second on the team with 19 blocks. Lewandowski is averaging one assist per game. Lewandowski has not attempted a three pointer this season, and it is highly unlikely that he will attempt one tonight. The Red Raiders can't afford to lose Lewandowski because of foul trouble. He has fouled out three times this season; tonight might be four if the Morris twins and Robinson take it to him. A. D. C. Ricardo Ratliffe, 6-foot-8 junior forward Denmon Mardo Rattilife, 6-foot-8 junior forward Ratlifife has been a monster on the glass for the Tigers. He leads the team with 6.8 rebounds per game. He is huge on the defensive end, blocking 35 shots on the season. He, however, has fouled out three times this season. He will need to be careful guarding the Morris twins and Thomas Robinson who are bigger and more athletic. If he isn't careful he will become best friends with the bench. He is second on the team scoring 11.7 points per game. ★★★☆☆ Laurence Bowers, 6-foot-8 junior forward Bowers is one of five players averaging double digits per game. He is fourth with 10.7 points per game. He is second in rebounding and leads the team with 49 blocks. Like Ratliffe, Bowers commits a lot of fouls. He has 67 on the season with two foul outs. If he isn't careful, he may be joining Ratliffe. The Tigers may have to call on junior center Steve Moore who has 21 blocks, but is only averaging 11.9 minutes per game. Bowers and Ratliffe each average more than 24 minutes. FASTENING OF POLICE ATTORNEYS Ratliffe ★★★☆☆ Mike Lavieri PETER MARR KANSAS 10 Bowers — Tyshawn Taylor Photo by Howard Ting/KANSAN MU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Missouri avenged its 89-76 loss to Colorado in Boulder earlier this season, by defeating the Buffaloes on Saturday 89-73 in Columbia. The Tigers are currently tied for fourth place in the Big 12 with Texas A&M and Oklahoma with a 4-4 record. Missouri is winning their games at home, which it should, but it is winless on the road. Missouri likes to play a fast, up-tempo game that fits well into what Kansas likes to do. Coach Mike Anderson's style of defense is to pressure its opponents and try to force turnovers. Kansas has had success against Missouri, especially at Allen Fieldhouse, when Missouri tries the full-court press. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior forward Justin Safford A season ago Safford was starting for the Tigers. He is one of two seniors on the team, but is the only one that sees playing time. This season, he has only started BRIAN MCKINNEY Safford in 11 of the 23 games for Missouri. He is averaging 6.8 points per game on 40.7 percent shooting. He is averaging 4.4 rebounds per game. Safford only played six minutes against Colorado and was ineffective. Missouri may call upon Safford for senior leadership, because this will be his final time playing at Allen Fieldhouse. Last season in Missouri's matchup with Kansas in Lawrence, Safford led the Tigers in scoring with 19 points in 32 minutes. QUESTION MARK Can Missouri get it done on the road? Missouri has one quality win on the road: at Oregon; that game was also the only true road test for the Tigers before conference play. Missouri lost to Georgetown at the Sprint Center in overtime 111-102 and defeated then ranked No. 22 Illinois at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis 75-64. Missouri is 0-4 on the road in conference play with losses in Boulder, Colo., College Station, Texas, Austin, Texas, and Stillwater, Oklahoma. The loss to Texas A&M in College Station was a 91-89 loss in overtime. The Aggies are 1-2 in their last three games at home. The Longhorns are perfect in Austin during conference play and Colorado is 3-1 at home, with its only loss being to Kansas. Missouri might be a better team, but Bill Self calls Allen Fieldhouse a "legitimate sixthman." Missouri falls to 0-5 on the road and 4-5 in conference, giving them a steep uphill climb to the Big 12 title, with a lot of things needing to go wrong at the top of the conference. HEARYE, HEARYE "Unfortunately," English said.

During the past week, about 120 of the University's Facilities Operations employees worked around the clock to keep students safe, said Larry Rawlings, assistant director of Facilities Operations. They recorded 120 hours of overtime and used about 1,200 gallons of gas to clear the roads, stairs, parking lots and miles of snow-packed sidewalks. "It seemed like it took more work than normal, just because of the nature of the storm," said Rawlings. But the process is a little more complex than pushing snow around. With 3-5 more inches of snow expected today. Rawlings explained the process of dealing with a snowstorm from start to finish. NOT SO CALM BEFORE THE STORM FO usually gets notification from the University that a snowstorm is on its way and will have a few days to prepare. The department first checks over its equipment to make sure it is running and then makes any necessary repairs. FO has more than 27 pieces of equipment including backhoes, skid steers, sand trucks and tractors with snow plow blades attached. After maintenance on the equipment, FO pre-treats sidewalks and roads if necessary. "If it's a heavy snow we don't necessarily go full hog in treating it if we have to shovel a lot of it off." Rawlings said. Pre-treatment can include sand or a liquid treatment of magnesium chloride on sidewalks that prevents water from freezing. After the pre-treating, the vehicles are refueled and employees wait for the snow to fall so they can start clearing it. DURING THE SNOWSTORM When the snow hits, employees often work long hours to keep up with the storm. Rawlings said that during the latest SEE SNOW ON PAGE 3A MORE SNOW EXPECTED Today: High near 10 degrees with new snow accumulation around an inch. Tonight: Low around 1 degree.

Darwin Day a fitting forward move for atheists SCIENCE BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com When Ioey Ralph and Conrad Hudson learned that no one had planned a public event on campus to celebrate Darwin Day this year, they decided to organize it themselves. "We know the Natural History Museum has put on Darwin events in the past," Hudson said. "But this year the closest Darwin events were in other cities." Ralph and Hudson are the president and vice president, respectively, of the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics (SOMA), a student organization. The group has arranged for a guest speaker and a petition drive for this year's Darwin Day. Darwin Day celebrates the birthday of the famous naturalist, Charles Darwin, and his role in the foundation of the theory of evolution. Since Darwin's birthday on Feb. 12 falls on a Saturday this year, the organizers chose to hold their event on Tuesday. SOMA invited Michael Blanford, director of educational programs for the James Randi Educational Foundation, to be a guest speaker. His talk, entitled "Actual Events: Teaching Critical Thinking and Awing Awe by Examining What's Real," will address how people can find meaning in the history of evolution. "I think evolution is sometimes thought of as a bleak worldview, and I want to talk its "Ask an Atheist" table, usually located in front of Wescoe Hall. There, SOMA invites students to question members about atheist philosophy. "I want to talk about how it is actually kind of inspiring." This will be the first Darwin Day sponsored by SOMA, but it is not MICHAEL BLANFORD James Randi Educational Foundation about how it is actually kind of inspiring", Blanford said. SOMA Hudson said SOMA has been on campus since 1999 and is growing strongly with nearly 200 members, which is up from 60 members in 2010. One of the groups primary public activities in the past has been their only new initiative this year. Hudson said SOMA has reached out to other student organizations, including religious groups, to propose working together in interfaith activities and charity efforts. As another new initiative, SOMA will circulate a petition to urge President Obama to declare a national Darwin Day. Members of SOMA will be gathering signatures at their table on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday. The petition is similar to one circulated in 2010 by the American Humanists Association. Hudson said SOMA's petition has already gathered about 12,000 signatures. EVOLUTION IN AMERICA "The ball is most certainly rolling right now," Hudson said. Hudson said the petition is important because it promotes the role of science in American society. A study by Jon D. Miller, Michigan State University professor of integrative studies, found that more adults rejected the concept of evolution in the United States than in almost any other country. Of the nations surveyed, only adults in Turkey were less likely to accept evolution. Miller's research, published in the Aug. 11, 2006 issue of the journal "Science" found that 1 in 3 Americans do not accept the theory of evolution. Hudson said the resistance to evolution in our society was one reason why a national Darwin Day was a good idea.

MUSIC Community radio station brings unique artistic outlet to Lawrence BY GARRET GRIFFIN editor@kansan.com The local music scene in Lawrence could become more prominent with the creation of KAWR - Lawrence's first legal community radio station. The station will operate out of the Americana Music Academy, 1419 Massachusetts St. A team of volunteers has been working for years to create a radio station that reflects the unique culture that Lawrence is known for. Barry Lee and Kevin Kennedy, two of the primary organizers of KAWR, said that the station has been working to meet Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations since 2007, but it has recently been granted a license for non-commercialized education radio and will begin operating during the summer of 2012 under the 89.9 call number. KAWR will then be the first Lawrence radio station to be entirely funded and operated by the local community. "It's about making the community accessible to the community," Kennedy said, "We're not beholden to the advertisers." Kennedy and Lee explained that all of the content and programming for KAWR will be entirely local and much more diverse than traditional radio stations.KAWR has been working with local junior high and high schools to get students involved.The station will feature many bands from Lawrence as well.KAWR is also encouraging local residents to apply for radio host positions.Both Kennedy and Lee seemed very open to any type of programming that reflects Lawrence."Community radio is like a smorgasbord: we're assuming an eclectic type of format," Kennedy said. KAWR is relying on community donations and federal grants in order to create this unique of Lawrence bands and sold CDs featuring original, local music for 10 dollars apiece. Much of the sound equipment, such as mixers and CD players, has been donated radio experience. The station held a benefit at Liberty Hall this past January, featuring a mix "Community radio is like a smorgasbord: we're assuming an eclectic type of format." important community radio is," Lee said. In addition to local donations, KAWR has applied to the station by local organizations.

Lee explained that this meeting will help the station get an understanding of the type of programming that Lawrence residents want. "This allows for more of a dialogue between the radio station and the community," Kennedy said. Kennedy and Lee are optimistic that KAWR will bring a unique artistic outlet to Lawrence that cannot be matched by mass, commercialized radio. "Big companies can't compete with local programming," Lee said. "Their tens of millions of dollars can't compete with a DJ with a turn table and a passion." —Edited by Jacque Web t t f ET CETERA f STAYING CONNECTED WITH THE KANSAN Get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan.

Two guests of the exhibition look at "Shimomura Crossing the Delaware" by Roger Shimomura, an acrylic on canvas. SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST CONTEXTUAL ART FROM TOM MIDDLETON'S COLLECTION Roger Shimomura leads his Japanese shipmates across the cerulean waves that froth with white foam on the Delaware River. Nearby, a gray-blue airplane soars above multicolored shapes and a skeleton. Welcome to a few pieces of the Emeritus Faculty Exhibition. The University's Visual Art Department presented the works of 10 different artists/emeritus faculty last Sunday afternoon at the Art and Design Building. The gallery, which will be open to the public until Feb. 18, features several different mediums, including blown glass, enamel, bronze, gouache and acrylic on canvas. Travis Young/KANSAN Viewers of varying ages graced the reception to observe the art and enjoy light snacks and coffee. With such different sets of eyes on his photographs, Dwight Burnham acknowledged the possibilities of an on-campus gallery. "They may see something entirely different that I had in mind," he said. Burnham taught in the University's art department and painted for more than 40 years. Since his retirement, he began taking photographs for his artistic interests and to counter his wife's Alzheimer's disease. He said that with painting, one fiddles with color, composition and lengthy procedures. "Without having been a painter, I couldn't have done this," Burnham said of his photographs. The careful production sees from the three digital images of rural Utah. Light filters through the still scenes of hills, rocks, dirt paths and clouds. With these images, Burnham is "trying to capture the spirit of the place." Also presented were two blown-glass pieces by Vernon Brencha. Brejcha, who wore a patriotic patch-frenzied vest and spoke of his process like a chemist, said that the majority of his works are based on Kansas themes. One of the pieces, "Prairie Post", is approximately 80 lbs. of purple, yellow and clear glass and a black stripe littered with rainbow speckles. "I've had people watch me do pieces," Brejcha said, "and then say, 'What just happened?' Edited by Danielle Packer Hate Out Week highlights different types of oppression CAMPUS Week aims to raise campus awareness BY KATASHA KUMAR kkumar@kansan.com The Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center, adjacent to the Kansas Union, is holding an awareness event this week called "Hate Out Week". Every day this week, there are events going on to express the oppression groups face. The Tunnel of Oppression was the first of the events scheduled which started yesterday and will continue on today. Tours of the tunnel will be offered today from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.at the resource center. Trevor Loney, assistant director of the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center, said the tunnel "is an opportunity to see the different issues that are going on in the world." The purpose of the event is to bring awareness of the different types of oppression groups face and the main focus is on how the campus and community are affected, Loney said. The tunnel also shows students what it is like to be racially different in the world. Included in the tour are skits put on by actors acting out circumstances where oppression is evident. "What the tunnel really tries to do, is educate people that some of these issues are still around and they are still effecting people," said Loney. The tour of the Tunnel of Oppression is a 20-minute tour offered every half hour. THE AGRICULTURE EDUCATION MUSEUM Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN Edited by Danielle Packer Jordan Ashley, a sophomore from Olathe, volunteers at the Tunnel of Opression at the Sabatini Multi-cultural Resource Center Monday afternoon. "I wanted to see what it was like and I just wanted to help out. It's really cool to take a chance and talk about this stuff that you really don't get to talk about." Ashley said.

Rawlings said many workers also stayed late to keep the sidewalks and roads clean. During a snow event, FO sends out snowplows to clear primary roads and sidewalks first. These routes include Jayhawk Boulevard, Sunnyside Avenue, Sunflower Road. The first response also clears entrances to buildings and handicap-accessible areas. "We have learned and observed it makes it hard if someone shows up and can't get in the building." Rawlines said. After clearing the primary routes, Facilities Operations clears secondary sidewalks, stairs and parking lots. Employees also make sure all bus routes on campus are cleared. Finally, after everything else is clear, FO clears the areas around student housing. Though routes may be cleared, work for Facilities Operations is far from done. Sidewalks, roads and stairs must still be kept clear from melting snow and refreezing water. Excess snow in parking lots and along routes is loaded up and disposed of with dump trucks. Rawlings said the best-case situation is when people are able to get around and there are few complaints. ALL'S CLEAR - MAYBE "Sometimes things go well and other times you miss some things," he said. "You just have to try to get all that you can and get ready for the next one."

They, as well as science lovers, were part of the intended audience for his talk.

He has written several works on evolution theory, creationism and science standards in public schools, and had some personal experience with evolution's uncertain place in society. Melott said he had had concerns about his own child's experience profit organization whose stated purpose is to promote critical thinking and to educate the public about supernatural claims. EVOLUTION IN SCHOOL with evolution science in a Lawrence public junior high school. He said he discovered that two chapters in his child's science textbook - one dealing with the mechanisms of evolution itself and another with the history of life on earth - had been skipped over in class. Melott said the teacher explained that evolution had been dealt with elsewhere in the course, but he remained unsure that his child had been properly instructed in the theory. The teaching of evolution in Kansas public schools has a contentious history, but Melot says "They don't want to stir up controversy," he said. the problem isn't necessarily in the debate. He said the biggest problem is that many teachers don't address evolution theory in their science curriculum, either because they don't support it themselves or because they're afraid to. As for Darwin Day, SOMA's vice president emphasized that the event was not strictly for the non-religious. "It's for everybody," Hudson said.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: Z equals L SUPER BOWL All puzzles © King Features Movie ads land with a thud ASSOCIATED PRESS Perhaps the most well received — or at least the most intriguing — came with "Super 8" the JJ. Abrams-directed, Steven Spielberg- Depp also saw his "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" promoted during the game in a commercial that emphasized LOS ANGELES — Movies figured into some of the biggest ads during Sunday's Super Bowl. Unfortunately for Hollywood, those weren't commercials for movies. A number of the best-received spots referenced well-known films; Kia threw a slew of movie tropes at the screen — including a helicopter chase and an alien invasion — with a spot for its new Optima called "One Epic Ride." Coke featured a bevy of computer-generated ogres with cinematic overtones in one of its commercials. The actual movie ads? They landed with more of a thud. Meanwhile, Chevrolet used a car hanging off a bridge "Inception"-style, and a spot for Budweiser saw a saloon crowd join together in a rendition of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" in the manner of a popular scene from Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous." Perhaps the most buzzed-about commercial invoked "Star Wars" as Volkswagen touted its new Passat in a spot called "The Force" that used a child dressed as Darth Vader to promote the car's remote-controlled ignition. Passing almost as quickly were short spots for "Thor," Kenneth Branagh's Marvel superhero film, and Fox's ad for the talking-bird animated film "Rio," which also tried to hook viewers with a multimedia campaign. A spot for Johnny Depp's animated movie "Rango," directed by Gore Verbinski, did earn a reasonably enthusiastic reception. executive produced science-fiction film that comes out in June. While some Twitter users said it reminded them a little too much of Spielberg's "E.T." comments about the commercial were retweeted often. Another Spielberg-affiliated movie, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," earned a warmer reception than ads for previous films in that franchise, in part because the spot took a less noisy approach than earlier incarnations. (The Paramount Pictures film also teamed with Chevrolet for a post-game spot called "Bumblebee," named after the auto-robot in the film; both the car brand and the movie were 'fogged in the commercial.) comedy over action. "Captian America: The First Avenger" meanwhile, gave audiences their first look at the World War II action adventure. But a pregame ad for the new Adam Sandler comedy "Just Go With It," with a woman running on a beach in a bikini, was less well regarded. Hollywood did make its presence felt in other ways on Sunday evening. Popping up in several ads were the unlikely faces of Oscar winners: Adrien Brody, Timothy Hutton and Cuba Gooding Jr. all hawked products during the show. Companies paid as much as $100,000 per second to advertise during the Super Bowl. Nearly a dozen films were pushed before or during the big game, with the aim of appealing to the largest single-day audience on the TV calendar. Last year, however, that effort yielded mixed results: For every ad promoting mega-hit "Alice in Wonderland," there seemed to be one touting a dud like "The Wolf Man." Hotly anticipated coming into the game was a spot for Jon Favreau's genre-bending "Cowboys & Aliens," which comes out in June. But the immediate reaction online was lukewarm. please recycle this newspaper JEOPARDY PASADENA, Calif. — Two of "Jeopardy's" biggest brainiacs — Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter — will compete in a three-day event Feb. 14-16 for a chance to win $1 million.

U.S. government should show more concern for Egyptians INTERNATIONAL POLITICS America doesn't care for the Egyptians. (Before you prepare your typing fingers for an angry, explosive response letter, reread the statement.) Sadly, one of the most obvious things from this uprising in Egypt, aside from the power united people have against their own government, is that the American government does not care for the actual people of Egypt. The government doesn't care that 40 percent of Egyptian families live on less than $2 a day. The government doesn't care Ahmed Basiony, the 31-year-old artist and father of two, was shot dead on the first day of protests. Nor does government care for 16-year-old Saif Musa, 20-year-old Mohamed Hussien, 25-year-old Amr Gharib or more than 100 Egyptians who have been killed in these protests. And the government certainly didn't care that the Egyptians have been under this crippling dictatorship for the past 30 years up until the birth of this uprising. Vice President Joe Biden affirmed the aforementioned when he stated that Mubarak was an ally of America and FATIMA ZAMMASKANDI BY SARA JAWHARI sjawhari@kansan.com was responsible for Middle East peace efforts, adding that he would not refer to him as a dictator. Biden's denial only confirms America's desire to maintain its important puppet in the Middle East: Egypt. Our government proves this by rewarding the regime with $1.3 billion of taxpayer's money annually, which is used to fund the weaponry currently being turned on protesters. Just days after President Obama demanded that change in Egypt must begin immediately, many have accused the Obama administration of sacrificing concrete steps toward genuine stability. to introduce political reforms and to fight corruption - empty promises made several times over the decades of his rule. At this point, Mubarak has promised not to run again, but insists on serving the remainder of his term to "supervise a peaceful transfer of power." He's vowed U. S. officials said Egypt's newly appointed Vice President, Omar Suleiman (Mubarak 2.0), promised them an "orderly transition" that would include "constitutional reform and outreach to opposition groups." The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition group, began talks with the government Sunday, trying to end the country's now 2-week-old political crisis but made clear it insisted on President Muradarak's immediate removal. The MB has been banned from Egypt (but have stood as independents) as it opposes the Mubarak regime and past Egyptian governments. Al-Qaeda also denounces the MB for taking part in elections. And both the U.S. and Israel have dubbed the MB a terrorist organization, as it opposes the 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. This is the fact that has got the two superpowers shaking in their boots. Shimon Peres, Israeli President, has attempted to camouflage this real fear by warning that the banned MB could exploit free elections to establish a "fanatic, religious, oppressive regime"; Peres, also not concerned for the Egyptian people, used his words that are obviously only meant to stir fear amongst the ignorant. Democracy does not automatically guarantee peace. But why can't we have a U.S. foreign policy that is supportive of national self-determination and less concerned with playing the grand chessboard? I want to watch the news knowing my tax dollars are no longer funding the bullets shot at these innocent heroes demanding nothing but basic human rights. Either we are on the side of freedom, as frightening and chaotic as it is, or we simply abandon that effort as "too risky" and back Mubarak 2.0 and call it "change." We must remember who this is really about — the Egyptians. Not Israel. And not America. Jawhari is a junior from Kansas City in journalism and anthropology.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: Z equals L All puzzles © King Features SUPER BOWL Movie ads land with a thud ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Movies figured into some of the biggest ads during Sunday's Super Bowl. Unfortunately for Hollywood, those weren't commercials for movies. A number of the best-received spots referenced well-known films: Kia threw a slew of movie tropes at the screen — including a helicopter chase and an alien invasion — with a spot for its new Optima called "One Epic Ride." Coke featured a bevy of computer-generated ogres with cinematic overtones in one of its commercials. Meanwhile, Chevrolet used a car hanging off a bridge "Inception" style, and a spot for Budweiser saw a saloon crowd join together in a rendition of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" in the manner of a popular scene from Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous." Perhaps the most buzzed-about commercial invoked "Star Wars" as Volkswagen touted its new Passat in a spot called "The Force" that used a child dressed as Darth Vader to promote the car's remote-controlled ignition. Perhaps the most well received The actual movie ads? They landed with more of a thud. Depp also saw his "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" promoted during the game in a commercial that emphasized Tempts the most well received — or at least the most intriguing — came with "Super B," the J.J. Abrams-directed, Steven Spielberg. Passing almost as quickly were short spots for "Thor," Kenneth Branagh's Marvel superhero film, and Fox's ad for the talking-bird animated film "Rio," which also tried to hook viewers with a multimedia campaign. A spot for Johnny Depp's animated movie "Rango," directed by Gore Verbinski, did earn a reasonably enthusiastic reception executive produced science-fiction film that comes out in June. While some Twitter users said it reminded them a little too much of Spielberg's "E.T." comments about the commercial were retested often. Another Spielberg-affiliated movie, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," earned a warmer reception than ads for previous films in that franchise, in part because the spot took a less noisy approach than earlier incarnations. (The Paramount Pictures film also teamed with Chevrolet for a post-game spot called "Bumblebee," named after the auto-robot in the film; both the car brand and the movie were flogged in the commercial.) But a pregame ad for the new Adam Sandler comedy "Just Go With It," with a woman running on a beach in a bikini, was less well regarded. Hollywood did make its presence felt in other ways on Sunday evening. Popping up in several ads were the unlikely faces of Oscar winners: Adrian Brody, Timothy Hutton and Cuba Gooding Jr. all hawked products during the show. Companies paid as much as $100,000 per second to advertise during the Super Bowl. Nearly a dozen films were pushed before or during the big game, with the aim of appealing to the largest single-day audience on the TV calendar. Last year, however, that effort yielded mixed results: For every ad promoting mega-hit "Alice in Wonderland," there seemed to be one touiting a dud like "The Wolf Man." Hotly anticipated coming into the game was a spot for Jon Favreau's genre-bending "Cowboys & Aliens," which comes out in June. But the immediate reaction online was lukewarm. comedy over action. "Captain America: The First Avenger", meanwhile, gave audiences their first look at the World War II action adventure. please recycle this newspaper JEOPARDY Contestants battle with super computer for prize PASADENA, Calif. — Two of "Jeopardy's" biggest brainiacs — Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter — will compete in a three-day event Feb. 14-16 for a chance to win $1 million.

And the clouds opened up, and God said, "I hate you, Missouri!" J.S. government should show more concern for Egyptians INTERNATIONAL POLITICS (Before you prepare your typing fingers for an angry, explosive response letter, reread the statement.) America doesn't care for the Egyptians. Sadly, one of the most obvious things from this uprising in Egypt, aside from the power united people have against their own government, is that the American government does not care for the actual people of Egypt. The government doesn't care that 40 percent of Egyptian families live on less than $2 a day. Nor does government care for 16-year-old Saif Musa, 20-year-old Mohamed Hussien, 25-year-old Amr Gharib or more than 100 Egyptians who have been killed in these protests. And the government certainly didn't care that the Egyptians have been under this crippling dictatorship for the past 30 years up until the birth of this uprising. The government doesn't care Ahmed Basiony, the 31-year-old artist and father of two, was shot dead on the first day of protests. Vice President Joe Biden armored the aforementioned when he stated that Mubarak was an ally of America and Ana Amin BY SARA JAWHARI siawhari@kansan.com Biden's denial only confirms America's desire to maintain its important puppet in the Middle East: Egypt. Our government proves this by rewarding the regime with $1.3 billion of taxpayer's money annually, which is used to fund the weaponry currently being turned on protesters. to introduce political reforms and to fight corruption - empty promises made several times over the decades of his rule. Just days after President Obama demanded that change in Egypt must begin immediately, many have accused the Obama administration of sacrificing concrete steps toward genuine stability. At this point, Mubarak has promised not to run again, but insists on serving the remainder of his term to "supervise a peaceful transfer of power." He's vowed was responsible for Middle East peace efforts, adding that he would not refer to him as a dictator. U. S. officials said Egypt's newly appointed Vice President, Omar Suleiman (Mubarak 2.0), promised them an "orderly transition" that would include "constitutional reform and outreach to opposition groups." The MB has been banned from Egypt (but have stood as independents) as it opposes the Mubarak regime and past Egyptian governments. Al-Qaeda also denounces the MB for taking part in elections. And both the U.S. and Israel have dubbed the MB a terrorist organization, as it opposes the 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition group, began talks with the government Sunday, trying to end the country's now 2-week-old political crisis but made clear it insisted on President Mahmoud's immediate removal. This is the fact that has got the two superpowers shaking in their boots. Shimon Peres, Israeli President, has attempted to camouflage this real fear by warning that the banned MB could exploit free elections to establish a "fanatic, religious, oppressive regime." Peres, also not concerned for the Egyptian people, used his words that are obviously only meant to stir fear amongst the ignorant. Democracy does not automatically guarantee peace. But why can't we have a U.S. foreign policy that is supportive of national self-determination and less concerned with playing the grand chessboard? I want to watch the news knowing my tax dollars are no longer funding the bullets shot at these innocent heroes demanding nothing but basic human rights. Either we are on the side of freedom, as frightening and chaotic as it is, or we simply abandon that effort as "too risky" and back Mubarak 2.0 and call it "change." We must remember who this is really about — the Egyptians. Not Israel. And not America. Jawhari is a junior from Kansas City in journalism and anthropology.

Taylor finished with 13 points and dished out four assists. Little, Releford shine off the bench in win BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com Two of Kansas' premier bench players, after missing substantial playing time this season, showed why they deserve playing time in Kansas' 103-86 victory against Missouri. Senior guard Mario Little, who was suspended six games in December and January, played his best game since his return. He had a career-high 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting. Sophomore Travis Reileford, who missed five games after injuring his ankle against Michigan on Jan. 9, scored 10 points on 4-5 shooting. Coach Bill Self said Reileford — who has had the sprain for almost a month — still is not 100 percent. percent. Releford hadn't scored in double figures since a 99-52 victory against UMKC on Jan. 5. He scored 13 points in that game. For Little, he last scored double digits six games ago on Jan. 17 in a 85-65 victory at Baylor. Little scored 10 points in that game in only six minutes of play. "Tonight he was efficient," Self said. "There are times where he is very efficient and there are days where he is very offensive in how aggressive he can be or how he want, to score." Missouri was not ready for the shooting performance from the two. Freshman guard Phil Pressey said he had been watching film of the two the past couple of days, but was surprised with some of the shots they were hitting, like Little's step-back three-pointer with time about to expire on the shot clock. Self said Little is going to give himself a chance to score because he's going to shoot as soon as he touches the ball. Self said Little was in a rhythm and bailed the team out a few times. With the amount of time Releford has missed he said he didn't think he had anything to prove. Releford said he talked to coach Danny Manning going into the second half and he told Releford to be patient. Releford also bailed the team out with seconds remaining in the first half. He pump faked a three-point shot that got his man in the air and he then buried a 15-foot jumper to widen the halftime lead to four. "I made that shot going into halftime and I came into the second half with a lot of confidence." Releford said. Jerry Wang/KANSAN crack. "I know he can shoot, he's a D-1 basketball player, but it just kind of surprised us in the game plan," Pressey said of little. "He played well. Seven-for-nine, that's a good game for anybody in this conference." KANSAS 21 10 1 Junior center Markieff Morris shoots over Missouri forward Ricardo Ratliffe during the first half. Morris finished with 16 points and led the team with three blocks. Tiger coach Mike Anderson thought both Little and Releford played well and "were a big difference in the game."

Taylor made 13 points Monday night leading the Jahwayks to a 103-86 victory over the Tigers. Senior guard Mario Little pulls up for a jump shot over Missouri guard Kim English during the first half. Little came off the bench for a career high 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting, including 3-of-3 from behind the arc. The Jayhawks shot a combined 11-for-19 from three. WAS Somphomore forward Thomas Robinson charges up for a dunk against the Missouri Tigers on Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse during the second half of Border Showdown. Robinson shot 3-3 for the flight, scoring nine points and adding seven rebounds in the Jayhawks' victory. Howard Ting/KANSAN There's plenty of options, but Little pretty much clinched this one with his ridiculous, Jordan-esque step back three with the shot clock winding down. He finished with 17 points in 16 minutes and tacked on five rebounds. Little's a safe bet to shoot every time he touches the ball, but when his shots are falling like they were Monday night, there's no reason for him not to be. Game to remember M. N. KUYA Mario Little Little Game to forget Kim English There's really not a Jayhawk to slot here, although an argument could be made for Tyshawn Taylor. English, though, Missouri's star for the last two years running, has underwhelmed to the point that he's no longer in the starting lineup. That move made sense after watching the Tigers and English's fieldmouse-quiet 1-of-6 effort from the field. English Quote of the game "There's days he he's very efficient. And there's days he he's very offensive, in terms of how aggressive he can be."

"I was just hoping they were going to pull it together without me," Ratliffe said. tage of the tentative play. That's when the Jayhawks took the Tigers apart. The soft defense of Mizzou struggling to remain on the floor resulted in a 103-86 victory for Kansas after they led by four at halftime. And this wasn't in garbage time. It was a 12-point game Edited by Dave Boyd So that's how this rivalry game was won. The refs didn't make any dastardly calls, so this one was on Mizzou. It was a tad anticlimacial after the way the first half started, "It was just one of those nights," he said. "The second half, our deal was throw it inside," coach Bill Self said. "We really got them in trouble that way." Monday night's game didn't come as advertised and Bowers knew his team had itself to blame. But Missouri, which played great despite the fouls, stayed winless on the road in Big 12 play and Kansas looked like the best team in the country. The Jayhawks just did what they do best and pummeled the Tigers with their superior size. The combined effort of Marcus Morris, Markieff Morris and Thomas Robinson led to a 16-for-20 from the field performance. with Bowers exploding for 12 points and Ratlife at nine. This was supposed to be one of those great finishes where the now-relevant Tigers took the Jayhawks to the brink in their own building. with 6:44 left to go when the first Tiger, Ratlife, fouled out. Bowers was next at 5:21. Pressey at 1:46. — "Coach told me at halftime to play like an All-American," he said — without his teammates slowing down. To see Mario Little shoot whenever he touched the ball — not literally, he did have one assist — on his way to 17 points in 16 minutes. To see the jayhawks shrug off Missouri's vaunted "40 Minutes of Hell" style like it was no more than a rough morning in a preseason boot camp. It was impressive. BEATDOWN (CONTINUED FROM 10A) "When you have guys that come off the bench and do what these guys did tonight, that makes us one of the deepest teams in the country," Marcus Morris said. But still, Marcus wasn't happy. Of course Marcus wasn't happy. The Jayhawks gave up 86 points in their own building. "They hung 86 points," he said.

A: Brady Morningstar with 34. — Kansas Athletics MORNING BREW 'One and done' here and gone? College basketball's landscape should be bracing for a major rule alteration. The NBA will be renegotiating their collective-bargaining agreement after the conclusion of the 2010-2011 season. Most college basketball fans, including myself, are hoping that the NBA will make a change on their controversial "one and done rule." The current rule forces a player to wait a year after high school before they can be drafted. The NBA Players Association notified players this past December that they would like to end the age-restricting rule according to ESPN.com. That request is starting to look like it could become reality. According to The Birmingham News, Auburn basketball coach Tony Barbee recently gave a speech at the Birmingham Tip-Off club in which he stated, "Talking to a lot of people I know at that level, I think it's going to go back to the old day, I think it's going to come out of this new collective-bargaining agreement that the NBA will have to negotiate with the players association." Barbee has connections in the league that give his words instant credibility. Barbee is represented by super-agent, Leon Rose, who also represents Lebron James and Carmelo BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Anthony among others. If NBA officials do in fact, change the rule, they will most likely change it to one of two scenarios. They might change it to where a player must wait two years out of high school to declare for the draft, or they might allow a player to declare for the draft directly out of high school, and they must wait two years if they choose college. This can affect Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks in a multitude of ways. If the NBA decides to go back to the old rules, where a player can be drafted straight out of high school or wait two years to be drafted, look for Coach Self to capitalize on the opportunity. Self was very successful in the past when the old rule was in effect. He recruited the Illinois 2004-2005 team that went 37-2. He left for Kansas that year so he wasn't able to THE MORNING BREW coach the team. Some of the standouts from that team include NBA long-stays Luther Head and Deron Williams. Self has only had one player, Xavier Henry, declare for the draft in his time at Kansas. He will be able to continue what he is doing in building teams, while coaches like John Calipari will have to make more of an adjustment, Calipari has built his teams around the "one and done." College basketball fans need to pay attention to the decisions that will be made by NBA officials this summer. They will most likely be changing the college basketball game as a whole by their decision. We can only hope it's for the better. —Edited by Dave Boyd COLLEGE BASKETBALL Pittsburgh Panthers leap past Mountaineers ASSOCIATED PRESS MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Nasir Robinson scored 15 points and No. 4 Pittsburgh overcame an awful start to beat No. 25 West Virginia 71-6 on Monday night. Pittsburgh went hard to the glass after being held to a season- low 23 points in the first half. The Panthers went ahead to stay with 8 minutes left in the game to improve to 5-0 on the road in the Big East and continue their best overall start in conference play. From start to finish, Pittsburgh pounded the ball inside, piling up 42 points in the paint against a Mountaineers defense that eventually wore down. Pittsburgh had just three turnovers after halftime and shot 61 percent (17 of 28) from the field in the second half and 44 percent for the game. Gilbert Brown made a layup and a three-point play during Pittsburgh's ensuing 1-4 run. West Virginia scored eight of the game's first 10 points, fell behind only once before halftime and held the Panthers to one field goal over the final 5 minutes of the half. Pittsburgh shot 29 percent (9 of 31) from the field and trailed 25-23 at halftime. The Panthers matched their first-half output in the first 11 minutes of the second half. Travon Woodall, Ashton Gibbs' replacement, put the Panthers ahead to stay, 47-46, on a jumper with 8:16 remaining. Like most games in the Backyard Brawl, West Virginia managed to stay close until the Panthers' decisive run.

But Kansas scored more. So even though Self wasn't happy about the defense, it wasn't going to stop him from smiling about his offense. After all, Kansas' 103 was a much bigger number than Missouri's 86. So there were plenty of compliments to go around. Certainly, Missouri's offense was clicking. The Tigers shot 52 percent from the field and had all five starters in double figures. They had a 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. advanced skill It showed. The twins only needed 17 shots to score 38 points, and were one and two in the game with eight rebounds (Marcus) and seven (Markieff). But they weren't the only ones to earn praise. On the Morris twins, Self said: "Marcus and Markieff are so advanced skill set wise." assists to turn in points. "We scored enough points to win the game," Missouri guard Phil Pressey said.

But to stop there would be to leave out the other starters, particularly Brady Morningstar, who finished with just eight points (just eight, when eight was a season high two weeks ago). But Morningstar had seven assists against zero turnovers, making it 13 and zero in the last two games, and was a key to breaking Missouri's ferocious press despite athleticism that falls short of the top tier. top tier. "Guys are starting to really find their roles," Self said. "Look at what Brady's done the last two weeks.

Morningstar totalled 7 assists Monday night, and Morris lead the Jayhawks with 22 total points. Kansas rolled past Missouri in a 103-86 victory. To see the Jayhawks work Monday night was impressive.

But a new competitive club team at the University is trying to change that by competing all over the Midwest. new place. "Its something to do outside of school and class to meet people and have a good time," Bauer, a middle blocker, said. "It's a great opportunity to see other universities and places you wouldn't get to just stay at Kansas." Senior Jake Bauer says men's club volleyball is a great way to meet people, have fun and see new places. see just say they The club, which began last year, is made up of ten guys who have a passion for volleyball and competition. Bauer said. The team has been doing well, placing around 15th in a national competition last year, winning a tournament in Nebraska and placing second in the tournament hosted by Kansas. This season the team has lost only two matches out of 20, and is trying to keep their momentum after this weekend's tournament at Kansas State. The team beat Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and Nebraska — the eventual tournament champions — in pool play, but lost to Creighton in both pool and tournament play. "We thought we had enough talent and people to compete against other schools and do well," Bauer said. "We were successful in a lot of areas, but we were short on numbers and had to have our libero play outside, which was pretty rough," team captain Scott Tunnell said. "We're still pretty desperate for a hitter." V1 glass ceiling that Bauer says can only be broken with new players. While the team is successful, the lack of depth has created a "We want more people so we can have more funding and better our talent pool," he said. "We could to add another setter to increase their competitive edge and form a more well-rounded roster. The team is soon traveling to Houston, Texas, where the national tournament is held.

Bauer hopes "We want more people so we can have more funding and better our talent pool." JAKE BAUER Senior Kansas club team will be playing other club teams from around the country in a four day tournament and hopes to finish in the top third. "We want to represent Kansas in the right way as much as possible through men's volleyball," Bauer said. Men's volleyball is not all-work and-no-play, however. The team travels with the girl's club team to tournaments and has become close with them, as well as each other. "We love to go out and have fun, whether it's at the bars or wherever we go. It's a good time," Bauer said. The team is small but diverse with players from Arizona, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas. The team is open to new members who are looking for competition, travel, and a good time. The next tournament is March 12. Students interested in joining the team can contact team captain Scott Tunnell at tunnell7@ku.edu or stop by the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.

Fugate, a senior from St. Louis, is the secretary of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) at the University and an active member in the Islamic community in Lawrence. Fugate said that Islam permeated his entire life. However, around five years ago, Fugate questioned the existence of God altogether. His religious journey toward Islam began in high school when he explored the teachings of Greek Orthodox Christianity, his religion at the time. “I looked at other religions because I found some beliefs in the Orthodox Church that didn’t really make sense to me,” he said. During his freshman year at the University, Fugate became interested in Islam. He began attending Friday prayer services, discussing the religion and even attending dinners during Ramadan. Fugate said he was ready to convert to Islam during the Ramadan dinners, but a friend he met in an Arabic class urged him to wait and deeply consider the decision. Fugate read the Koran that summer and officially became a Muslim the following fall. “It was a happy event for because I felt like the coming full circle.” “This was the defining moment for that journey I took in my life.” Adam Buhler/KANSAN STATE Bill could cut employee pay Cuts would affect high-earning state employees, including KU professors BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@ku.edu A bill to reduce state employee pay would not affect student employees. Instead, only those at the University with a salary of more than $100,000 would receive the paycut. In the revised version of the bill, the House Appropriations Committee approved a paycut for state employees who make more than $100,000 — making professors susceptible. Barbara Phipps, the University Faculty Senate president, said she understood the state had a severe budget situation but didn't think this was the proper way to solve it. "I'm empathetic to the fact that all state employees have to understand that situation and where we fit into that," Phipps said. "But as a faculty representative, I won't be happy about any faculty member's pay being cut." Phipps said the threat of losing pay was especially unsettling considering that faculty was facing the third straight year of frozen salaries. Pay decreases and frozen salaries for University faculty can hurt recruitment and retainment, which officials say in turn affects the quality of a student's education. In her State of the University address, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the stagnation in salaries made it difficult to recruit and retain outstanding faculty and staff. "The past two years have seen a dozen KU faculty members leave for other universities because of stunted resources," Gray-Little said. "Several of these individuals have taken grant funding and the associated jobs with them." Jack Martin, deputy director of University communications, said the cut would not only hurt prospective faculty but current faculty as well. "No salary increases and the prospect of a salary cut makes our professors susceptible to wanting to leave" Martin said. "Kansans want their students taught by excellent professors who are at the top of their academic fields," Martin said. "If we want to improve our academic quality and research productivity, we have to recruit talent." In turn, the loss of talent does not help the academic quality of the University, Martin said. Martin called it a "broad-brush" approach to require pay deductions for certain salary levels because money may be cut from people who receive funding from outside sources such as grants andresearch, HOUSE BILL 2014 COMPONENTS - A 7.5 percent paycut for "constitutional officers" - those appointed by the governor - such as judges, elected officials, president of the universities and regents. - A 7.5 percent paycut for any state employee making $100,000 or more. - Because the bill would not take effect for some time, it translates into a 2 percent reduction of annual salary, affecting the final six paychecks of the 2011 fiscal year. - Dollars from the state employees' paycut would be put in deferred building and maintenance projects.

"I think my mom was kind of scared for me because she wasn't sure about what this thing was that I was getting involved in," he said. Around the time Fugate informed his family about his decision, MSA held Islam Awareness Week at the University. Fugate's mom came to the event, and he said she had a positive experience learning about Islam. "The more she learned about it, the more she respected it and respected my decision," he said. Since his conversion, Fugate has adhered to the Islamic way of life, which includes praying five times a day and not consuming alcohol or pork.

Precious Porras, assistant director of the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center, said she hoped people would be moved by the film. She said that, even apart from bullying, people could be casually intolerant in their daily conversation without realizing it. "You hear people say, "That's so retarded," or, "That's so gay," Porras said. "But some of these words can really hurt. You don't know who's in the room and how it's going to affect them." About 80 people watched "Bullied" on Saturday, when the Headquarters Counseling Center showed the film at the Lawrence Public Library. Diane Genther, a graduate intern at the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, participated as a panelist in the public discussion that followed. Genther said the issue of identity-based bullying had received more national attention recently and that she hoped this meant the national mood was moving from awareness toward sympathy and acceptance. For those who would like to work for greater tolerance, Genther recommended education, examining one's own biases and going out and meeting people with different perspectives.

POLITICS Even when she gets it right, Palin still spells 'debacle' I suppose it would be asking too much to expect Sarah Palin to deliver a speech remotely connected to reality. The half-term Alaska governor always displays an impressive ability to confound the pointy-headed eggheads among us with her willingness to make things up. JEREMY C. PARKS There was the rambling resignation speech she delivered two years ago, portraying "lamestream" media criticism of her tenure as an insult to American soldiers serving overseas. We learned, via her Facebook page, that health care reform would force her aging parents and disabled child before a "death panel" of Obama administration bureaucrats. And she notoriously accused critics of her trigger-happy rhetoric of "blood libel" in the wake of the Tucson massacre, somehow managing to make herself a victim of a rampage in which six people, including a 9-year-old child, were slain. So Palin's contribution to the past week's hagiography - otherwise BY LUKE BRINKER Ibrinker@kansan.com known as the Ronald Reagan centennial celebration – seems relatively mild in its disregard for the facts, at least when compared to some of her greatest hits. Speaking to the Young America's Foundation, a conservative group headquartered at Reagan's ranch in southern California, Palin bowed at the altar of the right's patron saint. There was no mention of the 40th president's funding of Central American death squads, support for the apartheid regime of South Africa, malign neglect of the growing AIDS epidemic, or callous indifference to income inequality. After all, unless you're a fake American from some highfalutin' metropolis, Palin isn't in the business of bursting your bubble. The Gipper's genius, she said, lay in his canny ability to see through the antipoverty programs of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Reagan's opposition to the welfare state came to define Reaganomics. "Reagan saw the dangers of L.B.J's Great Society," Palin said. While it's an article of faith among adherents of laissez-faire economics that the Great Society was a miserable failure, it's worth re-evaluating the legacy of a set of policies antithetical to the B-list actor we lionized last week. When Johnson assumed the presidency in 1963, 22.2 percent of Americans lived in poverty. By 1970, increased federal support for public housing, education, health and other welfare programs brought the poverty rate down to 12.6 percent. The few Reaganites who can be bothered to acknowledge such stubborn facts respond that for all its success, the War on Poverty engendered laziness and (It's now 14.3 percent.) complacency. Using coded racial language, Reagan denounced the "strapping young buck" fully capable of work but content to simply live on the federal dole. Rep. Paul Ryan charged last month that the safety net has become a leisure hammock. I can just see the food-stamp recipient in south-central Los Angeles: "Ahh, the pleasures of subsistence living!" For Palin, the notion that a society should help the disadvantaged offends her rugged individualist credo. Economics is a morality play, not something based on what works. So Palin was right. In her speech, she said the nation is on the "road to ruin." A political culture that won't step outside of the Fox News bubble into reality can only be headed off the cliff.

Remove from Friends About eight months ago, I was single and desperately willing to get over my ex-boyfriend. After going through the oh-sopathetic extremes like labeling him in my phone as "jerk, don't" (as in: don't call, text, or answer, you idiot), I made a wise, executive decision. No! I know, big move right? I unfriended him on Facebook. I know, big move right? But in all seriousness, the more I noticed how much Facebook was holding me back from getting over him, the more I realized this was a necessary move. Cindy I noticed Facebook did a damn good job of reminding me of his existence (considering I didn't see him ever in real life because he lives in that God-forsaken state of Missouri). I realized that the moment he was finally off my mind, he would pop in on newsfeed or I'd see his little picture on Facebook chat, always causing my feeble heart to sink a little lower and want him all over again. Not only would it remind me of him, but against all better judgment, it caused me to click his name and start mindlessly scanning through photos, creeping on his wall, and convincing him subconsciously I wanted him again. BY MANDY MATNEY mmatney@kansan.com So, finally, I hit my wall of tolerance. I swallowed my pride, scrolled to the bottom of his profile, and deleted him, digitally. De-friending an ex doesn't mean that you are too weak to resist him or that you have a hatred so strong you wouldn't even consider them a Facebook friend. It means you are willing to maturely remove yourself from the person and throw in the towel. It also puts the ball in their court, by forcing them to admit fault and re-request friendship when they want to creep through your photos for once. It's quite a liberating feeling. Matney is a junior from Shawnee in journalism. She is associate opinion editor. Cancel let's be honest, we're all guilty of unfriending someone on Facebook guilty of unfriending someone on Facebook at least once. Stalkers and family members aside, most of us are quick to click the "unfriend" tab on our ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, just after the not-so-private relationship status change and the tacky, passive-aggressive "likes" that follow. But I must insist this is not good social (network) etiquette. Deleting people off Facebook is, more often than not, a cry for attention, and you don't want to seem weak, do you? All unfriending does is show that the break up has had more affect on your emotions. This is exactly what your ex wants you to do, because, not only does he now think you cared about him more, but now that ex can post a new profile picture of the new and improved you, which you most likely can't enlarge and scrutinize. The ex knows you hunger to read his latest status, to know what he was doing eight hours ago via iPhone, where he has checked in and who has posted on his wall recently asking PETER E. WESTER BYJAMES CASTLE jcastle@kansan.com to hang out because she "misses (him), dude." Be smart. Block your ex from your posts and tagged photos; that way, he can't see your latest thoughts and activities, and you seem mysterious, all while you can still creep his every cyber-move. If he asks, just say you blocked everyone from your posts because you wanted privacy, or say there was a "mechanical issue." P. S. Admitting this will only make you seem neurotic and creepy, so shhh... Castle is a junior from Stilwell in political science & human sexuality. POLITICS It looks easy on TV,but politicians can't get it right Boy, those fat cats in Washington have sure done it this time! I don't know what "it" is, but I'm sure they screwed up something. PRESENTED BY How can I be sure? Because according to pretty much every political speech I've heard in the past two decades I've been alive, Washington, D.C., is full of bureaucrats, bean counters and other synonyms who are more interested in winning re-election than they are helping average Americans. For example, look at the fictional President Josiah Bartlet from the hit television show "The West Wing." He's funny, he's smart and he's got gravitas coming out his ears. He's all business, except when he brandishes his cowardly wit to make observations about his eclectic staff that are as hilarious as they are insightful. I don't understand why Congress has been broken since its inception more than 200 years ago when politicians in film and television make it look so easy. BY LOU SCHUMAKER lschumaker@kansan.com Toward the end of the fourth season, he gives his second inaugural speech and declares a new doctrine of force. What does he say in the speech? Who knows! What are the consequences of the speech? Who cares! Was it a good idea? Absolutely. ing paragons of human achievement? That's Washington for you: always failing to be perfect in every way. Why can't more politicians be tower- If Democratic eggheads in TV shows you never watch aren't your cup of tea, then take a walk across the aisle and check out President Thomas J. Whitmore in the film "Independence Day." Based on what little you see, he's actually kind of a terrible president. According to the pundits you see on TV, he traded his idealism for business-as-usual politics and other buzzwords. But then aliens attack, and he steps up to plate by doing awesome stuff like dramatically firing his secretary of state, demanding to see Area 51 and killing an alien. Actually, he doesn't do that last one, but it was still cool. Toward the end of the film, he gives a stirring speech, promises victory over the invading aliens and declares a new Independence Day that celebrates, not freedom from the British, but freedom from annihilation. Does that make sense? No, it does not. But making sense isn't important when you're a sitting president about to hop into a fighter jet and lead a massive air attack on an alien mothership. Really, though, there is a fictional politician for everybody. Maybe you like Maybe you want to support President Mackenzie Allen from the TV show "Commander in Chief," who spent much of her presidency getting low ratings and then being cancelled. The point: stop paying attention to politics and instead watch political TV shows and movies that pretend to be realistic. Maybe you like Senator Jefferson Smith from the film "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," whose passionate idealism is mocked throughout pop culture. Or ... Wait ... What was my original point? I forget. My concentration has been wrecked from watching all these TV shows and movies. Schumaker is a junior from Over- land Park in film and media studies.

For Palin, the notion that a society should help the disadvantaged offends her rugged individualist credo. Economics is a morality play, not something based on what works. So Palin was right. In her speech, she said the nation is on the "road to ruin." A political culture that won't step outside of the Fox News bubble into reality can only be headed off the cliff. SOCIAL MEDIA ETIQUETTE Brinker is a sophomore from Topeka majoring in history. Is it O.K. to unfriend your ex on Facebook? Yes! Remove from Friends About eight months ago, I was single and desperately willing to get over my ex-boyfriend. No! After going through the oh-so-pathetic extremes like labeling him in my phone as "jerk, don't " (as in: don't call, text, or answer, you idiot), I made a wise, executive decision. I unfriended him on Facebook. I know, big move right? But in all seriousness, the more I noticed how much Facebook was holding me back from getting over him, the more I realized this was a necessary move. BY MANDY MATNEY mmatnev@kansan.com I noticed Facebook did a damn good job of reminding me of his existence (considering I didn't see him ever in real life because he lives in that Godforsaken state of Missouri). I realized that the moment he was finally off my mind, he would pop in my newsfeed or I'd see his little picture on Facebook chat, always causing my feeble heart to sink a little lower and want him all over again. Not only would it remind me of him, but against all better judgment, it caused me to click his name and start mindlessly scanning through photos, creeping on his wall, and convincing him subconsciously I wanted him again. So, finally, I hit my wall of tolerance. I swallowed my pride, scrolled to the bottom of his profile, and deleted him, digitally. De-friending an ex doesn't mean that you are too weak to resist him or that you have a hatred so strong you wouldn't even consider them a Facebook friend. It means you are willing to maturely remove yourself from the person and throw in the towel. It also puts the ball in their court, by forcing them to admit fault and re-request friendship when they want to creep through your photos for once. It's quite a liberating feeling. Matney is a junior from Shawnee in journalism. She is associate opinion editor. Cancel let's be honest, we're all guilty of unfriending someone on Facebook someone on Facebook at least once. Stalkers and family members aside, most of us are quick to click the "unfriend" tab on our ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, just after the not-so-private relationship status change and the tacky, passive-aggressive "likes that follow. But I must insist this is not good social (network) etiquette. Deleting people off Facebook is, more often than not, a cry for attention, and you don't want to seem weak, do you? All unfriending does is show that the break up has had more affect on your emotions. This is exactly what your ex wants you to do, because, not only does he now think you cared about him more, but now that ex can post a new profile picture of the new and improved you, which you most likely can't enlarge and scrutinize. The ex knows you hunger to read his latest status, to know what he was doing eight hours ago via iPhone, where he has checked in and who has posted on his wall recently asking --- BYJAMES CASTLE jcastle@kansan.com to hang out because she "misses (him), dude." Be smart. Block your ex from your posts and tagged photos; that way, he can't see your latest thoughts and activities, and you seem mysterious, all while you can still creep his every cyber-move. If he asks, just say you blocked everyone from your posts because you wanted privacy, or say there was a "mechanical issue." P. S. Admitting this will only make you seem neurotic and creepy, so shhh... Castle is a junior from Stilwell in political science & human sexuality. POLITICS It looks easy on TV,but politicians can't get it right Boy, those fat cats in Washington have sure done it this time! I don't know what "it" is, but P. B. K. Mishra I sure they screwed up something. How can I be sure? Because according to pretty much every political speech I've heard in the past two decades I've been alive, Washington, D.C., is full of bureaucrats, bean counters and other synonyms who are more interested in winning re-election than they are helping average Americans. For example, look at the fictional President Josiah Bartlet from the hit television show "The West Wing." He's funny, he's smart and he's got gravitas coming out his ears. He's all business, except when he brandishes his cowardly wit to make observations about his eclectic staff that are as hilarious as they are insightful. I don't understand why Congress has been broken since its inception more than 200 years ago when politicians in film and television make it look so easy. BY LOU SCHUMAKER lschumaker@kansan.com Toward the end of the fourth season, he gives his second inaugural speech and declares a new doctrine of force. What does he say in the speech? Who knows! What are the consequences of the speech? Who cares! Was it a good idea? Absolutely. ing paragons of human achievement? That's Washington for you: always failing to be perfect in every way. Why can't more politicians be tower- If Democratic eggheads in TV shows you never watch aren't your cup of tea, then take a walk across the aisle and check out President Thomas J. Whitmore in the film "Independence Day." Based on what little you see, he's actually kind of a terrible president. According to the pundits you see on TV, he traded his idealism for business-as-usual politics and other buzzwords. But then aliens attack, and he steps up to plate by doing awesome stuff like dramatically firing his secretary of state, demanding to see Area 51 and killing an alien. Actually, he doesn't do that last one, but it was still cool. Toward the end of the film, he gives a stirring speech, promises victory over the invading aliens and declares a new Independence Day that celebrates, not freedom from the British, but freedom from annihilation. Does that make sense? No, it does not But making sense isn't important when you're a sitting president about to hop into a fighter jet and lead a massive air attack on an alien mothership. Really, though, there is a fictional politician for everybody. Maybe you like Maybe you like Senator Jefferson Smith from the film "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," whose passionate idealism is mocked throughout pop culture. President Marshall in "Air Force One," who doesn't negotiate with terrorists because he is too busy killing them. Maybe you want to support President Mackenzie Allen from the TV show "Commander in Chief," who spent much of her presidency getting low ratings and then being cancelled. The point: stop paying attention to politics and instead watch political TV shows and movies that pretend to be realistic. Or ... Wait ... What was my original point? I forget. My concentration has been wrecked from watching all these TV shows and movies. Schumaker is a junior from Overland Park in film and media studies.

I make the most of the time I get when I get in. It is very frustrating coming off the beginning of the year when I was playing so well, then I went down with the injury, but I am just trying to do whatever I can to help my team get better." - Sophomore forward Travis Releford on his recovering ankle sprain FACT OF THE DAY The Jayhawks didn't scored 100 points in a Big 12 game since March 3, 2008, before scoring 103 against Mizzou Monday. -Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many of the Jayhawks' 103 points against Mizzou came on the fast break? A:Four Kansas Athletics Injustices to a sacred anthem Dear Francis Scott Key, I'm really sorry about what's happened to your song. It's a great happened to your song. It's a great song, and it doesn't deserve to be treated the way it has been. Personally, I'd probably sing it more if I had a better singing voice, but every once in a while I belt out a few bars. I'll admit, though, my favorite rendition of the national anthem is probably the one on "Saturday Night Live" from 2006, where Maya Rudolph mocks pop stars who sing your song, dragging it out for two and a half minutes and butchering the words. I'm sorry, but frankly it's quite funny to hear the word "brave" sung for 30 seconds using motorcycle noises. But lately I've realized that, unfortunately, your song isn't getting much better treatment in real life. Sure, it's still popular because you nailed the lyrics. It's got everything: violent bombs bursting, noble perilous fights and touching mentions of gleaming twilights. Who would dare try to mess with your song in real life? I will not share your personal information. Apparently, lots of people. I'm not sure if you have YouTube where you're at, but a quick search of "bad national anthems" reveals some pretty mangled versions of your ditty. Most recently, it was Christina Aguilera at the Super Bowl, singing "what so proudly we watched" instead of "oer the ramparts we watched" and changing "leaming" to "reaming." Honest mistakes, maybe, but I'm sure BY JOEL PETTERSON ipetterson@kansan.com you've wondered the same thing I have: Do sports damage the "Star Spangled Banner"? After all, some of the most atrocious versions of your song are before sports events. Frankly, I'm not even sure who decided that sports were so important to patriotism that your song should be played before every kickoff, tipoff, faceoff, first pitch and green light. Listen, Francis, I'm certainly not saying I don't want to hear your song at stadiums anymore. I just wanted to apologize on behalf of sports for what's happened to the anthem. I feel as though it's become a musical version of a ring bearer at a wedding – a relief when it goes well, but only memorable when it goes horribly wrong (or when a very cute child sings it, such as the little girl who garnered a standing ovation at Allen Fieldhouse this season). THE MORNING BREW I don't know if you can blame the crowd, though. I mean, when you get 16,300 people crammed into an arena, jacked up for a couple hours of slam dunks or touchdowns and then sing a song about the twilight's last gleaming, of course they're going to do something absolutely bone-headed like yell "Chiefs" at the end of the song (In case you weren't aware, we're referring to a mediocre professional team that plays a different sport in a different state. But just trust us, it makes sense.) I wish I had some sort of solution for you. But I really just wanted to offer my condolences for the poor fate of your song. If it makes you feel better, it had a pretty good run = 200 years of popularity definitely qualifies as a hit single. But, after all, even your beautiful imagery and noble poetry were no match for Christina Aguilera and 5,000 students who prefer the Chiefs to the brave. - Edited by Becca Harsch Senior duo combines for 40 as Purdue trounces Indiana WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue finally beat Indiana with its tenacity Tuesday night.

Kansas went 31-50 from the floor. Freshman guard Keena Mays lays the ball up off of a fast break in the second half Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse. Mays recorded 16 points in the 81-53 victory over Colorado. Mike Gunnee/KANSAS Kansas tries to boost its conference record BY KATHLEEN GIER kqier@kansan.com Players like senior Krysten Boogaard and sophomore Angel Goodrich are stepping up to help the younger players stay focused for the remainder of the season. These players have either seen the difficulty of last year's season or the success of making the WNIT Championships in 2009. Championship Kansas sits with a 15-8 record blemished by a 2-7 conference mark. Tonight against Iowa State, Kansas looks to change its fortune and get another victory in the Big 12 Conference. "After losing five in a row, that is really an eye-opener," Boogaard said. The Jayhawks started Big 12 play with a loss, but quickly found success against the Colorado Buffaloes, whom they defeated for their two conference victories. Now looking at the season, Boogaard said every game down the line was more important. "Anyone could win the Big 12 title and we could win our next seven games and be contenders," Boogaard said. Winning seven straight games, including two against ranked opponents, is easier said than done, however. Goodrich emphasized the importance of the team staying together and keeping the younger athletes positive. young, almost unaccepted. "We've struggled no doubt, but you have to help them see the potential" Goodrich said. "Go make the best of the rest of the season and do not go down easy," Boogaard said as two of her focuses for her teammates. Boogaard is following a similar tactic when she talks with the other players. She tries to put the season in perspective for each player, helping them focus on how to finish out their respective season in a positive way. Practices were one of the main areas that Goodrich mentioned as a place to keep the team together. "We have good plays at practice and that is what builds momentum for games," Goodrich said. Though the success in practice has not necessarily been translating to games, the positives outweigh the negatives. Boogaard also sees practice as a time for the team to work on communication as its members get to know each other better throughout the season in an attempt to limit turnovers. State is a threat from beyond the arch. Kansas shot only 33 percent from long distance while allowing Texas to shoot 50 percent in its 80-68 loss on Saturday. attempt to harm Kansas is looking to defend the 3-point line as Iowa For this game, Kansas is looking to defend the 3-point line as Iowa The Jayhawks will also work on limiting fouls, which have caused trouble the last couple games, by sitting players on the bench prematurely. "We are trying to be more physical, but we have to be more disciplined," Goodrich said. "We cannot start games with two or three players on the bench, we need the rotation because that only makes it harder." — Edited by Corey Thibodeaux COLUMN Selby's absence is a non-factor Here's the paradox of Josh Selby, as simply as I can put it: If a player is at his best when he is the focal point of an offense, how can he succeed as a sidekick? Selby has the makings of a star — even his detractors will say that — but as a star in the making, he's in need of the spotlight. Not through any fault of his own — it's what made him a great high school player and will make him a great player at this level - Selby is best with the ball in his hands and the freedom to work outside of the offense. In five of his six best offensive performances from an efficiency trendpoint A. Owusu A. Selby standpoint, he's taken double-digit shots, So, somewhat bizarrely, the more Selby BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball PETER HAYES shoots, the more efficient he is. But he's a "broken floor" player, as Self has said. Selby's brilliant at, above all else, making a play when there isn't one to be made. When Kansas' offense collapses, if they can get the ball in Selby's hands, chances are things will work out okay for the Jayhawks. But after watching the last two games with Selby on the sideline — without question the two best offensive performances of the season — one thing has become strikingly clear: Kansas' offense doesn't collapse. Not often, at least. Not in the hands of the right players. Kansas is best when it trots out five veterans — juniors Tyshawn Taylor and the Morris twins and seniors Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed — because those five understand the offense and work the offense to perfection. The Morris twins in particular are vital in Self's high-low scheme because they are, Self says, the two best passers on the team, and the offense runs predominantly through them. "Every time we run our offense," Mario Little said, "We feel like we are going to get a good look." Take this incredible stat from the Missouri game: Of Kansas' 103 points, only four came on the fast break. That means 99 of them came in a half court set. That's amazing against any team... let alone an uptempo squad like the Tigers. It's a product of the fact that, for a huge open book for someone. This column originated as a counter to the talk about Kansas being better without Selby. I wanted to write that he just needed time, and he would get there. But here's my epiphany: Josh Selby is already there, if he's allowed to play like Josh Selby. When he can be the focal point of the offense and make a play on a broken floor, he's a starter for the Jayhawks. majority of the time, the Jayhawks' offense was getting open looks, and the guys on the floor were hitting them. Little was spot on. Every time Kansas runs its offense, it feels like there's going to be an open look for someone. But Kansas doesn't need that right now. So unless Selby can figure out how to succeed within the offense, that starting spot that's gone to Morningstar because of Selby's injury should just stay with Morningstar.

THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 91 BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com Governor Brownback signed an order Monday to abolish the Kansas Arts Commission, which will likely cost University of Kansas institutions $35,572 in state funding. ARTS FUNDING Governor plans to save money by eliminating Kansas Arts Commission The Kansas Arts Commission, which provides funding to organizations or individuals that create and increase the public access to art, gave the Spencer Art Museum $21,286 and the Lied Center $16,286 for the fiscal year of 2011. So far this year the KAC has given $950,932 to 242 different entities. Kristina Walker, director of education at the Spencer Museum of Art, said that without funding from the KAC or alternative funding, the museum would likely have to make cuts. SEE ARTS ON PAGE 3A Walker said the museum would possibly cut a full time art education position. The Spencer's education outreach program is entirely funded by the Kansas Art Commission. CRIME Student's vehicle stolen, ticketed, towed and sold BY PAT MUELLER pmueller@kansan.com On Sept. 10, Josh Petersen, a junior from Overland Park, went out with his friends. Like any other Friday night, he returned to his apartment at 1433 Ohio, and went to bed. When he woke in the morning, he discovered his car was stolen. "I just walked out of the parking lot and saw it was gone. It was shocking," Petersen said. "After I talked to the police officer he told me he thought whoever stole it probably did it for parts and I'd probably never see it again." Dalton Gomez/KANSAN 1000 Josh Peterson, a junior from Overland Park, had his vehicle stolen last semester. The abandoned car racked up 12 parking tickets that Peterson discovered when he went to enrol. Petersen said he immediately went to Oliver Hall to look for his car, but it was gone. He contacted KU Parking and Transit through the Lawrence Police Department, and was told his car had been towed by Bull Dog Towing Company. The thief abandoned the 1996 Volvo 850 in the Oliver Hall parking lot. While the car sat in the lot, it gathered more than $300 in parking tickets before being towed at the end of October. While finishing enrollment for the spring semester in early December, Peterson discovered a hold on his KU account for unpaid Oliver Hall parking tickets issued to his stolen car. Petersen's car had been sold by Bull Dog Towing Company at a public auction because no one claimed it for at least five weeks. Towing companies can sell the cars they tow after notifying the owner by sending a letter to the address on the cars registration. Petersen's car was registered to his parents who had moved from the house that the car was registered to last summer: They never received the letter. "This officer took me over to Bull Dog that night, and we called them because no one was there, and they said they had sold it two days earlier," Petersen said. When Petersen found this out, he tried to hold KU Parking and Transit responsible. "They should not tow a car and not check if its been stolen," said itersen. "There could be a dead body in there. It is very irresponsible to tow a car and not check it out? Donna Hultine, KU Parking department director, said KU Parking does not have access to records of stolen vehicles, but the department reports the tag numbers of the towed cars to the Lawrence Police Department. She said the University was ultimately not responsible for cars in its parking lots. Petersen's family also contacted the buyer, Nick Rolla, of Topeka Kan., to discuss repurchasing the car. "I don't know if money was an issue," he said. "But at the end of the week [Petersen's mom] called me and said it was probably going to be a big mess." Rolla said he offered to sell the car back at cost and also drive the car back to Lawrence. Rolla said he purchased the car for about $600. He also fixed parts of the interior damaged during the theft and got a new key for the car. "We thought we could hire an attorney," Peterson said. "But after we found out the whole interior of the car was destroyed by the person who stole it, we figured it wasn't worth it." KU Parking and Transit is still processing his claim. Rolla eventually sold the car to a private buyer. Petersen now drives a different family car.

Racial profiling bill proposes changes ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA — Kansas law enforcement officials urged a Senate panel Wednesday to consider the due process of officers if the Legislature makes any changes to a 2004 law aimed at protecting residents from racial profiling. racial prowling. Ed Kump, lobbyist for Kansas sheriffs, chiefs of police and peace officers, said the groups weren't unhappy with the current statute, but recognized there were gaps between the law's provisions and perception among concerned groups "We have attempted to present a bill that is not particularly high on our wish list, but one we feel addresses the concerns in a comprehensive and thorough manner with balance between our desires and those of concerned citizens," said Klump, who helped write one of the two bills before the committee. gender and religious dress in combination with other factors as part of a specific description as grounds for taking law enforcement action. Among the proposed changes to the 2004 law are the name itself. Rather than referring to racial profiling it would be labeled biased policing, a term used by courts and law enforcement. The new definition includes the unreasonable use of race, ethnicity, national origin, for taking law enforcement Other changes would require community boards to work with law enforcement to prevent biased policing, including training and data collection. Law enforcement agencies also would be required to have a comprehensive plan for training officers and handling allegations of bias. legations of bias The bill would require biased policing complaints be investigated by the Kansas Human Rights Commission or the Kansas Commission for Police Standards and Training, the latter of which has the authority to revoke law enforcement licenses of officers. Steve Bukaty, attorney for the Kansas Fraternal Order of Police, the new proposals must be a balance struck between protecting the rights of Kansas residents with the due process of law enforcement officers alleged to commit biased policing. poicing. Hearings on the bill were scheduled to continue Thursday. NATIONAL Giffords recovers ability to speak ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON - Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is able to speak: She asked for toast at breakfast one recent morning. morning. Her ability to say even just a word, a month after being shot in the head, pleased her family, friends and doctors. It may also provide valuable clues about the condition of her injured brain. Few details have emerged about her recovery since she began intensive rehabilitation at TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital last month. But doctors not involved in her care said her simple request for toast could indicate higher level cognition. "We're elated at this," said her spokesman C.J. Karamargin. "We always knew Gabby is a fighter and that she's not going to let this thing win. And you know, every day is proof of that." cognition. Brain injury patients who regain speech typically begin to do so about four to six weeks after the incident, Riggs said. speak despite the tube. It would not necessarily have to be removed or have a valve inserted to make speech possible, he said. Since Riggs has not seen or treated Giffords, he could not say how her speech might develop and progress. Depending on the extent of the injury, its position in the brain and the patient, that can vary greatly, he said. "That's what's so mysterious and great about this, because she is recovering and no one can really give you the goal line and when it will be finished because it's really unknown," Riggs said. In rehabilitation, a patient would progress from saying one word, to possibly a few and finally to a full sentence, said Sullivan, also a neuroscientist at the University of Southern California. In this case, Sullivan pierced the left hemisphere of Giffords' brain, Sullivan noted, the side that is associated with language, which includes three crucial elements: hearing. "We're beginning to see what her true abilities will be," he said. "We'll also see her impairments." "So it might be one word, 'toast,' in this case, Sullivan said. "There's nothing surprising about the plasticity of the brain especially in a young healthy person and that's the good news," Sullivan said. "I have seen the most miraculous things so I can't say I'm surprised." Doctors said in late January that they planned to insert a speaking valve into her tracheostomy — a tube inserted into Gifford's throat to assist her breathing immediately after the shooting in Tucson, Ariz. comprehending and responding. pried. "I can say she has a long road left on her recovery because of the very serious injury," she said. Six people, including a 9-yearold girl and a federal judge, were killed in the attack outside a grocery store where Giffords was meeting with constituents. Thirteen people, including Giffords, were injured. All three are needed for communication and, based on the reports, Giffords can do this, Sullivan said.

"It pays for a staff position to coordinate all of our youth programming. I don't want to say the position is going to be gone, but it does mean we need other funding and in this environment money is not always readily available." Walker said the "It Starts With Art" program is also in jeopardy of being eliminated. The program gives KU Art Education students the opportunity to teach art classes to local children ages 5 to 14. The KU students create lesson plans to help the 30 to 40 kids with art projects and lead them in discussion of the museum's art collection. "A lot of the problem with eliminating the program is that visual art education students get their initial experiences at the program," Lorri Hanson, Overland Park visual art education masters student said. "This is going to be a problem for those visual art education students that have no experience and who can't commute. It's going to be an issue for them when they are looking for jobs." Brownback explained in a speech Monday that the elimination of the commission would save the state $600,000 and was "a modest step toward making our economic development structure leaner, more efficient, more accountable and more successful in growing the state" But Hanson said that it is important for the state to keep funding the arts. "How can you deny the fact that art is everywhere? It's in every advertisement or building or structure you see on the street. It's in the media, it's in the museum or the concert scene, the play, theaters. It's everywhere. It's inevitably a part of our lives and it helps us perceive and understand our complex and overdiversified society." While at first the elimination of the KAC appears to be doom and gloom for state institutions and artists, there is the possibility for both entities to continue to receive funding. Gov. Brownbackordertransfers the responsibilities of the Kansas Arts Commission to the Kansas Historical Society. The order also creates a private non-profit Kansas Arts Foundation, which will be overseen by the Kansas Historical Society. The newly created foundation would work to secure private funding for Kansas arts, rather than state funding. office also stated the Kansas Historical Society would still be able to receive matching funds from the National Endowment for the Arts. Under the current system, the National Endowment for the Arts closely matches the amount of money that the state allocates to the Kansas Art Commission. For the 2011 fiscal year the National Endowment for the Arts gave the Kansas Arts Commission $778,200.

ODD NEWS Baby left in toilet woman charged GREENWILLE, S.C. — The South Carolina woman accused of giving birth in an arena toilet during the circus and leaving the baby told her family afterward she was bleeding heavily, but didn't know why. As 24-year-old Jessica Blackham checked herself into a hospital six miles away, a cleaning crew found the 6-pound boy, his skin purple and breathing so labored he could barely cry. The custodians desperately followed a 911 operator's directions, one of them even whispering "vas a estar bien, bebe" (you're going to be OK, baby) as he used his finger to sweep some mucus from the boy's mouth. The baby is in good condition at a hospital. The details of Friday night came into focus when the cleaning crew talked to the media Wednesday about their discovery, and Blackham's mother tried to explain to a judge what had occurred. "She had amnesia, couldn't remember what happened. She went there (to the hospital) of her own accord because she knew she was bleeding and something was wrong," Anita McAuliffe said at her daughter's bond hearing. Blackham is charged with one count of felony child abuse and one count of unlawful neglect toward a child. Her bond was set at $30,000, and jail records indicate she has been released. If convicted of both charges, she could face up to 30 years in prison. Investigators estimate the baby was left behind for 90 minutes before a cleaning crew pushed open the closed stall door and found the infant, his feet in the water and head on the rim of the toilet.

RELIGION Expand your mind in class enlarge your faith on campus In one of my classes last week, my religion professor said that when it comes to faith, people are locked in their own personal viewpoints. At first, I thought that was completely bogus. I can practice my religion and still have respect for what others believe. It's hard, however, to have respect for other religions when you don't know anything about them. While at the university, my goal has been to learn everything I can about journalism. I never figured I would learn so much about my faith life, too. Education is one way to broaden horizons. Many students on campus want to absorb every tidbit of information on the career choice. It doesn't make any sense to treat religion differently. Yet college may be the easiest time to expand our horizons and educate ourselves on different beliefs and practices. Education offers the first step in the promotion of religious acceptance. There has never been a better time to explore what others believe, practice and worship. All the tools are right here in Lawrence. Take a world religions class, attend other religious campus organizations that you are not familiar with, visit one of the many diverse churches. We have so many different religious backgrounds in Lawrence, from Islam to Hindu, and Wiccan to Scientology. I couldn't name them all in this column if I tried.

Let's not limit ourselves to gathering information on our career choice, but rather let's educate ourselves in other areas,including our faith.The possibilities are endless and who knows what you might learn about others and yourself. oping personal relationships with others to learn about their culture and religious beliefs. My favorite way to do this at the University is to visit the Muslim Student Association tent during their Islam Awareness Week. Personally talking to others about the reasons for their faith is always interesting. The more diverse we become in our religious education, the more tolerant we can become of other religious beliefs. We no longer have to be locked in our viewpoints on what it means to be religious. Now is the time we are free to explore, to ask questions and open our minds. Now is the time the opportunities are near. Bond is a junior from Andover in journalism and religious studies. U.S. does care about Egypt and its people The statement that "the government doesn't care that 40 percent of Egyptian families living on less than $2 a day" is dubious at best. It might be more accurate to say that "40 percent of Egyptians live on less than $2 a day," a statistic reported by the Thomas Reuters Foundation and seemingly no one else. The U.S. government does provide around $1.3 billion in security and military (in some pieces of legislation called peace and security) assistance to Egypt, unfortunately with a portion of it allocated to an internal police/security apparatus known the world-over to be one of the most ruthless and tyrannical. However, a good helping of this also goes to equipping an institution revered and respected by the majority of the Egyptian population, and certainly by every demonstrator in Tahrir Square: the army. Those massive tanks you see parked along the periphery of Tahrir on Ramses, el Falaki Square and the Corniche protecting protesters? Yeah, those are M1 Abrams, unquestionably some of the best military hardware in the world and courtesy of the American people. While I agree with many points made by Ms. Jawhari in her well written article on the U.S. government's involvement in and with Egypt ("U.S. government should show more concern for Egyptians," Feb. 5th), I couldn't help but notice a few patent inaccuracies. Yet even then, this as a testament to the fact that the U.S. government does not care about them is a weak argument. According to the World Bank, the global poverty gap at $2 is around 40 percent (in Egypt: 16.2 percent at 2000 figures, the most recent available), so does this mean that the U.S. government doesn't care about over 1 billion people? Hardly. Lastly, the Muslim Brotherhood (Al-Ikhwan) in Egypt is not designated or "dubbed" even) by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization, nor is it by any other government save for Russians. The southern branch of the Islamic Movement in Occupied Palestine (or Israel, should you prefer), which has its roots in the MB of Egypt, is even represented in the Kneset! To go a step further, the MB in Egypt has said that it will respect the treaty with Israel should it come to power. Oh, and calling Israel a "superpower" is one hell of a stretch by even the most liberal of definitions. Alex Pugh is a senior in political science from Stuttgart, Germany.

"There is so much happening that it is a challenge even for the most ardent marriage-equality supporters to keep track of," said Molly McKay, media director of Marriage Equality, a national group that favors same-sex marriage. "This is a national fight being fought out on various local grounds. Rhode Island, New York, those are states right now where all eyes are looking." PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Lawmakers in Rhode Island and Maryland are taking up bills to legalize gay marriage, advocates in New York are making a renewed push, and opponents are fighting for constitutional bans in Indiana and Wyoming and to re-impose bans in Iowa and New Hampshire. eyes are looking. In New York City, the advocacy group Freedom to Marry on Wednesday announced the launch of what it described as the largest-ever national public education campaign aimed at increasing popular support for same-sex marriage. The flurry of activity nationwide has activists on both sides of the gay marriage debate encouraged that 2011 will be a year of gains for them. The group said it hopes to raise and spend $10 million over the next three years to run ads featuring gay and straight couples talking about the importance of marriage. The first ad is scheduled to run nationally on CNN on Valentine's Day, the group said. McKay said that with more people open about their sexual orientation, and with gay marriages legal in Massachusetts since 2004, there is a growing acceptance among the public that allowing two men or two women to marry is not a big deal. "People are realizing, 'Oh, this isn't just a theoretical issue. That's our nice neighbors down the street," McKay said. "You can't put the toothpaste back into the tube once it's squeezed." Gay marriage is legal in a handful of states besides Massachusetts: Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Iowa, as well as in the District of Columbia. In California, supporters of gay marriage are mounting a challenge in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage there after voters approved it in 2008. Gallagher said the group hopes it can block legislative efforts to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland and Rhode Island, as well as in New York, where a similar measure could emerge this year. If the bill is approved, Gallagher said, "the people of Maryland will, like the people of Maine, reverse their legislators' decision." On the other side, 30 states have constitutional amendments banning gay marriages. ming gay man stages. Maggie Gallagher, chairwoman of National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex marriage, said her group is working to increase that number by adding Indiana, Wyoming and possibly North Carolina, the only state in the South that does not have such an amendment. In Wyoming, the proposed amendment is heading to the full House after clearing a committee on Tuesday. It has already passed the Senate. In Rhode Island, activists believe that after years of trying, this year represents their best chance yet of legalizing gay marriage. legitizing gay marriage McKay said activists see Rhode Island as key. "What happens in Rhode Island will advance the cause of equality nationwide," she said. Bill would let grocers sell liquor BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE lnightengale@kansan.com Inightengale@kansan.com The Federal and State Affairs Committee will hear arguments next week in favor of and against a bill that would change which establishments can legally sell liquor. The Senate committee intends to meet next Tuesday and Wednesday to hear from proponents and opponents of the proposed law. A representative of the committee's office said that the bill could appear again before the Senate as early as Feb. 21, although the final deadline for bill consideration is April 2. If passed, this law would change regulations of liquor license purchases, allowing grocers and convenience stores to sell full-strength beer and liquor. The bill would also offer liquor stores the option to expand their selection to include food items. Mass Beverage owner Ryan Urban opposes the bill and admits if it passes he will be worried about his business' future. "It will be tough to survive for any liquor store," Urban said. Urban also said that allowing convenience stores to sell liquor would eliminate the benefits of having knowledgeable vendors and selection variety with the demise of the specialized liquor stores. The Coalition for Jobs and Consumer Choice is the main proponent of this bill, representing retailers such as Walmart, Hy-Vee and Kroger. Director of the Center of Applied Economics Art Hall published a report in favor of this bill, predicting jobs and economic recovery for Kansas if the liquor license sale is expanded. Both Hall and Urban agree that the change in law would not significantly affect the price of alcohol in the state because of an already competitive market. While the success of this bill might have little to no effect on what students pay for alcohol, it would certainly affect the selection and location of available vendors. "If you allow these other stores to have a really good source of liquor, beer or wine, they can make better use of a dollar than these liquor stores can," Hall said.

Grocery stores would be allowed to sell full-strength liquor and liquor stores could begin to add food to their shelves. NEW LIQUOR LAW DETAILS - Stores that will carry fullstrength liquor: Convenience stores, grocery stores, and super centers like Walmart. - Pros of new law: Thousands of new jobs statewide. - Cons of new law: Smallvenue liquor stores will lose business and may close.Revenue of super centers like Walmart will be spread out among many states. - Pros of current law: The money made in smallvenue stores will remain in the state and be put back into the Kansas economy. - Cons of current law: Inconvenience due to limited hours, location, and variety of selection. - Small business protection policy:A proposed three-year freeze will ensure the number of liquor licenses in Kansas will remain the same, preventing larger companies from dominating the market.

Without it, the Kansas women's basketball team would not have been able to defeat Iowa State University in overtime Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse, 86-85. The Jayhawks shot 50 percent from beyond the arc for the game and shot 4-for-8 in each half. The Jayhawks found open shots frequently this game because Iowa State played a 2-3 zone defense with the hope of slowing down sophomore guard Carolyn Davis. "I think (Iowa State focusing on Davis) was one of the reasons. That's our game to go inside, but once they start packing it in, then we kick it out and then we can get an open shot on the outside," said sophomore point guard Angel Goodrich. In the first half, freshman guard Keena Mays knocked down two big three-point shots that gave the Jayhawks a boost to their step. The first shot tied up the game at 13 with 12:40 left in the half. The second shot came with 7:33 to play in the half and gave the Jayhawks a two-point lead. "We always talk about getting it inside because that will open up the outside because they can't just guard me. And if the guards are hitting shots they can't guard us both. That is always our goal because we know we have a strong inside and a strong outside," Davis said. Goodrich made a three-point shot with 5:37 left in the half. In addition to shooting 3-for-4 from beyond the arc, Goodrich set a record for most assists by a woman in Allen Fieldhouse. "There was a lot open in the 2-3 zone. They closed in more sometimes. They weren't rotating as quick as we thought they would. That helped us out. Finding the open guy and reversing it really helped us out in getting open shots," Goodrich said. shots in. I think we were mentally focused and prepared for situations like that. We really zoned in, whether it was practice, shoot around or whatever it was and got with 6:58 to play. "I think we got ourselves prepared mentally for that. We came in early before practice and a couple of us stayed after and got some shots up. We really all collectively came in and knew what we had to do," Engelman said.

Kansas had two returning pitchers; senior Allison Clark and sophomore Alex Jones. Freshmen Kristin Martinez and Colleen Hohman add to the roster. Rounding out the bullpen and contributing to much needed depth is junior transfer Ashley Spencer. Spencer transferred from Cowley Community College and will bring experience with her from two appearances at the Jayhawk East Conference championship.She was named conference MVP in 2010 while at Cowley Community College.

The Hull sisters, who were considered slappers last season, which is similar to a contact hitter in baseball, have grown as athletes. grown to maturity. "This year Rosie is considered a slapper that can hit, and I am a bitter that can slap," Maggie Hull said. The team's offseason work at Anshutz has helped them grow faster and stronger,which will help the offense be even more competitive than last year. KU "We've got more speed we are going to use it more. We have a more-balanced offense. We have more power in the lineup and I think top to bottom our offense is going to be a lot stronger than it was last year," Smith said.

KU KU COLLEGE BASKETBALL Duke triumphs over N. Carolina ASSOCIATED PRESS DURHAM, N.C. — Nolan Smith scored 22 of his career-high 34 points in the second half, and No. 5 Duke rallied from 16 points down to beat No. 20 North Carolina 79-73 on Wednesday night. Seth Curry added a seasonhigh 22 points for the Blue Devils (22-2, 9-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). ence). They trailed 43-27 in the final minute of the first half and were down 14 at halftime before clamping down on the Tar Heels, outscoring them 50-30 in the final 20 minutes to keep hold of first place in the league. Tyler Zeller had 24 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, and John Henson added 14 points for North Carolina (17-6, 7-2), which had its five-game winning streak snapped and lost for the third straight time in college basketball's fiercest rivalry. streak at home. The Blue Devils were in the unfamiliar position of being dominated on their home court when their guards got things rolling in the final seconds of the first half, with Curry's jumper at the 5-second mark starting the 18-6 run that made it a game again. Kyle Singler finished with 10 points on 3-of-17 shooting for Duke, but hit three important free throws in the final minute including two with 25.2 seconds left to make it 75-70 after North Carolina had made it a one-possession game. Smith's jumper from the elbow session game. Then, after Kendall Marshall hit a free throw to pull the Tar Heels within four with 17.2 seconds left, Smith beat everybody downcourt and soared for a breakaway dunk that all but ensured the Blue Devils would avoid their first loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium in almost exactly two years. Duke extended its NCAA-best winning streak at home to 33. pulled Duke to 49-45 with 14% minutes left, about 4 minutes before Curry started the 13-1 run that put the Blue Devils up for the first time. Curry reeled off seven quick points in little over a minute before Ryan Kelly delivered the game's only lead change. His 3-pointer put Duke up 57-55 with 9:15 left, and Smith's three point play roughly a minute later stretched it to 60-55. Smith finished 13 of 23 and surpassed his previous career high of 33 points set a month ago against UAB. Curry hit two free throws in the final seconds to surpass his 20-point performance Jan. 27 against Boston College. They helped the Blue Devils deliver a comeback for the ages: Duke hadn't erased a halftime deficit that big to win since 1959, when Navy led the Blue Devils by 14 at the break. Nobody on North Carolina's reconstituted roster had ever played in a victory at Cameron — a 180-degree reversal from Feb. 11, 2009, when Tyler Hansbrough and Danny Green won for the fourth time in four trips to Duke while handing the Blue Devils their most recent loss at home. The only current scholarship Tar Heel who was on the team that year — Zeller — didn't play in that game because he was injured. But for essentially the entire first 20 minutes of this one, it was North Carolina that was in complete command. The Tar Heels never trailed during the first half, reeled off the first eight points and methodically stretched their lead to 16 on Zeller's stickback with 1:10 before the break. They did it largely by outworking the Blue Devils — beating them downcourt with regularity, with the big men dominating the paint.

Hint: Kansas has played against him. A: Josh Smith of UCLA Baseketball,a new pastime MORNING BREW With lockouts looming in two of America's biggest sporting leagues in the fall, the NFL and NBA, there will be a vast crevasse in the American sports landscape. Where will Americans turn to get their sports entertainment? What will ESPN anchors talk about during Sportscenter? In my opinion, this would be the perfect time for the emergence of the NBL, the National Baseketball League. For those of you who have not seen Baseketball, the 1998 film that is based around the fictional game, baseketball is a simple sport. Baseketball is basketball played with baseball rules. PRAIRIE JOHNSON BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com Much like in the movie I watched religiously while in middle school, the sports landscape has spoiled. Players and owners can't agree on how to share the billions of dollars in revenue, players spend more time crafting their celebrations than working on executing their plays (see Ochocinco, Chad and Owens, Terrell), and players rampantly switch teams with no regard to their fans' loyalties. also paid. Fans don't have to worry about their teams having to forfeit a championship three years after the fact because a player of his family accepted money from an agent or a school booster. But while basketball players are paid, they do not make obscene salaries. There is little risk of having a player go on a huge drug binge or hold out of training camp because, frankly, the players can't afford it. THE MORNING BREW Soccer might be the world's sport, but it sure is not America's sport. Americans will never get hyped up over a match between AC Milan and Inter Milan like they do over a Yankees-Red Sox series in July. And hockey is a Canadian sport. As much as I like hockey, Americans will never take to a sport that we didn't invent or currently dominate. The two most prominent hockey players hail from Canada and Russia, while the most famous soccer players come from Europe and South America and only come over here to play in the MLS when they are ready to retire. Baseketball is the definition of an American sport because everyone has a chance to be great. As Kenny "Squeak" Scolari said in the movie, it is a sport where guys with bad backs and bad knees can get together on the same field as guys that are all goosed up on steroids. So Americans, go out and get a team together. Name yourselves something stereotypical about your hometown like the Milwaukee Beers or the Roswell Aliens. And prove to the world that even in the face of multiple sports lockouts, the American spirit and drive is alive and strong.

Kory Carpenter SPORTS HEALTH Coach gives kidney to baseball player WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Compliments of his coach Tom Walter, Wake Forest baseball player Kevin Jordan has a new kidney and a new future. What Jordan doesn't have are enough words to say thank you. "I'm just really thankful." I don't think I have the words for it in my vocabulary. Thankful is as good as it gets." Jordan said Wednesday at a media conference at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. A healthy kidney was taken from Walter on Monday and transplanted into Jordan, who was suffering from ANCA vasculitis. For Jordan, a highly regarded outfield prospect when he signed with Wake Forest out of Northside High in Columbus, Ga., the surgery means he should be able to live a normal life. Doctors hope Jordan will be able to return to baseball in approximately eight weeks. -Mcclatchy-Tribune THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TODAY No events scheduled FRIDAY Sports Softball Double-header vs. North Carolina, 8:30 a.m. vs. Buffalo, 10:45 a.m. at Jacksonville, Fla.

The Jayhawks took on fellow Big 12 team Iowa State. The game went into overtime and Kansas won 86-85. Megan Singer/KANSAN Jayhawks victorious against ranked team and claim their win in overtime BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com As the clock wound down and Kansas faced another loss, sophomore forward Carolyn Davis made the final basket of the game, which gave Kansas the one point lead they needed to take down No. 20 Iowa State. "I was just so excited," Davis said. Coach Bonnie Henrickson revealed that the final play call was not choreographed, but she simply told toophone guard Angel Goodrich to throw the call in to Davis. "I love that my teammates and my coaches have the confidence in me, but I went into the hudble and called it," Davis said. Kansas led the entire second half and ended regulation tied at 68. In overtime, the Jayhawks played from behind, trading free throws for the remainder until Davis' shot. "Great resolve and great resiliency." Henrickson said. "I am really proud of the girls and really happy for them." In the end of a hard fought game, Kansas defeated Iowa State 86-85 in overtime. This victory improves their record to 16-8 and 3-7 in conference play. "Great resolve and great resiliency. I am really proud of the girls and really happy for them." Goodrich broke her career assist record with 15 in the victory last night. BONNIE HENRICKSON coach "It ites great we obviously need a win and coming here and just coming out on top was a great feeling." Goodrich said. A number of fouls in the second half left Kansas in the double bonus with over six minutes left. " O n c e we see they are going to call touchy-touchy, we have to back off a little bit and let loose," Goodrich said. Davis led all scorers with 31 points in the outing off of 11-17 shooting. Davis shot 9-15 from the free throw line for her tenth 20-point game for the season. "It is a big confidence booster." Davis said. This was the Jayhawks first victory over a ranked team this season while the Big 12 boasts four ranked teams of its own. four ranked "We have to come out like this every single game and continue to play like we did tonight." Goodrich said. Edited by Erin Wilbert WOMEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND PAGE 7A Kansas softball team gears up for tournament BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Inches of snow and freezing temperatures don't generally comes to mind when thinking about softball season. But for the Kansas softball team, these elements became a harsh reality. The weather has forced the team to practice indoors on the Ray Evans Football Field at the Anschutz Sports Pavillion. The facility allows the team to get batting practice in and hold full practices for the infield and outfield. However, practicing on the turf creates a number of obstacles for the players. of obstacles on the play. "We can't dive on it or else we will get torn up," said sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull. The ball reacts differently on the turf than it does on the grass or the dirt. When teams are playing outside, a ground ball might hop slightly to the left or the right depending on the condition of the field. "We are ready to get out. At some point in time as a team you are done with practice and we are at that point. We are going to go out and work as hard as we can and there are some other schools that are in the same boat as we are," Smith said. Even though the conditions are different, Coach Megan Smith is not going to let the indoor practices be an excuse for lack of effort. The team's chance to escape the Kansas cold is finally here. Kansas is heading to Jacksonville, Fla., to compete this weekend against the University of North Carolina, the University of Buffalo, Bethune-Cookman University and Jacksonville University. PAGE 10A Smith said this year's team is very different than last year's team, even though it graduated only two infielders. The eight-member freshman class has stepped up to the challenge. "We have a talented group of freshman. They are going to have their normal freshman ups and downs, but the talent is there and they are going to do a really great job "This first weekend is going to be a great chance for us to see everybody out in action," Smith said.

Hull 3RD BASE Ingle CATCHING Hile Cullum Dalber COMMENTARY Possible Big12 rankings for 2011 BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com 100 1. Oklahoma: This is an easy one. Eight starters return on defense, but the real story is the offense, which was 14th in the country last year. Quarterback Landry Jones returns with possible Heisman candidate Ryan Broyles at wide receiver while coach Bob Stoops landed another top-15 recruiting class. With only seven months remaining in the college football offseason, let's take a way-too-early look at the Big 12 heading into next season. 2. Oklahoma State: What do you get for the offense that has everything? Another year from its All-American wide receiver. Justin Blackmon's head-scratch decision to skip the NFL and return for his junior season will keep the nation's No. 3 offense going strong into 2011. 3. Missouri: While the loss of quarterback Blaine Gabbert leaves some uncertainty for the Tigers, there might not be much of a drop off in quarterback play in 2011. James Franklin looks to be Gabbert's successor in Columbia, who I think is a better fit for Gary Pinkel's spread offense then Gabbert ever was. 5. Texas: There is just too much talent in Austin to miss out on another bowl game. Coach Mack Brown landed the nation's fifth-best recruiting class according to ESPN, and the defense returns eight starters. Losing defensive coordinator Will Muschamp to Florida keeps me from putting the Longhorns any higher than fifth. 4. Texas A&M: The emergence of quarterback Ryan Tannehill helped spark an impressive six-game winning streak heading into the Cotton Bowl, which the Aggies dropped to LSU. Tannehill starting from day one will help this year, along with eight other returning offensive starters. 6. Baylor: Robert Griffin III is the best quarterback one on one outside of Big 12 country has heard of. Griffin accounted for 30 touchdowns in 2010, with 22 through the air and eight on the ground. The defense is still a question mark, however. still a question. Mark, Hawes, bwc. 7. Texas Tech: I liked the hire of coach Tommy Tubberville last year and I think he can continue to improve the Red Raiders. Without a quarterback, though, it's hard to see how good Tech can be in 2011. how good does it need to be? 8. Kansas State: Kansas State nearly won a bowl game last year, but loses its only offensive spark, running back Daniel Thomas, who ran for 1,585 yards and 19 touchdowns. Who will replace him? Will the quarterback play improve even a little? Coach Bill Snyder hasn't recruited anyone of note to replace Thomas' production 9. Iowa State: I give the Cyclones the edge over Kansas here because of the schedule. Both teams have more holes than a block of swiss, but Iowa State gets to host the Jayhawks on Nov. 5, and that might be the tiebreaker in the conference standings. 10. Kansas: Good things are happening for Turner Gill and the football program, it just might take another year to see those improvements. Gill and his staff landed a stellar recruiting class for a disastrous first season. As many as 16 of those freshman will play in 2011 according to Gill, which makes me wonder how much talent he didn't have in 2010. Expect growing pains from the large batch of first year players next season, but be excited for 2012. Edited by Corey Thibodeaux LIFE.

The owners said they hoped to fulfill students' and residents' desires for late night sweets after a late night on the town, while staying up to study or while staying in with friends. They said their goal was to have the cookies at their customers' doorsteps as fast as Jimmy John's does. A VISIONARY, A BUSINESSMAN AND A BAKER Rafferty, McCallough and Olsen said they put a lot of time and effort into making the company run smoothly. McCallough is the businessman. Rafferty is the visionary. He came up with the idea for the bakery after seeing something similar succeed while he was at school in Colorado. He said he thought one in Lawrence could make money, too. "the best cookies ever." "I decided to go ahead and make the recipes myself just because it would be better for our ingredients and our storage purposes," Olsen said. "This doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense unless you know exactly what is in our cookies, which is a secret." While Lucky You Bakery has not been open long enough to determine how much it makes on an average night, business has tripled since opening weekend, said McCollough. So far, the owners have handed out a few flyers and have mainly relied on word of mouth, Facebook and Twitter to generate business. "I ordered their cookies last ThursdaywithmyfriendsandI have never had a better chocolate chip cookie," said Shannon Spurlock, a junior from Burlingame, Calif. "All of the cookies they serve are great. I would know because I ordered one of every kind to be sure I ate they had received, they said they were especially excited about what they had learned. "It has been a cool lesson of interdependence to see how we all click together," McCollough said. As for where they are headed, none of them really know.

Megan Singer/KANSAI Kansas softball team gears up for tournament BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Inches of snow and freezing temperatures don't generally comes to mind when thinking about softball season. But for the Kansas softball team, these elements became a harsh reality. The weather has forced the team to practice indoors on the Ray Evans Football Field at the Anschutz Sports Pavillion. The facility allows the team to get batting practice in and hold full practices for the infield and outfield. However, practicing on the turf creates a number of obstacles for the players. "We can't dive on it or else we will get torn up," said sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull. The ball reacts differently on the turf than it does on the grass or the dirt. When teams are playing outside, a ground ball might hop slightly to the left or the right depending on the condition of the field. "We are ready to get out. At some point in time as a team you are done with practice and we are at that point. We are going to go out and work as hard as we can and there are some other schools that are in the same boat as we are," Smith said. Even though the conditions are different, Coach Megan Smith is not going to let the indoor practices be an excuse for lack of effort. The team's chance to escape the Kansas cold is finally here Kansas is heading to Jacksonville, Fla., to compete this weekend against the University of North Carolina, the University of Buffalo, Bethune-Cookman University and jacksonville University. "This first weekend is going to be a great chance for us to see everybody out in action," Smith said. Smith said this year's team is very different than last year's team, even though it graduated only two infielders. The eight-member freshman class has stepped up to the challenge.

I prided myself on my no-frills organization strategy. I programmed deadlines, tests, social events and birthdays into my memory, and there they stayed. I never missed a deadline or test, and my friends always got a birthday shout-out. The only organizational-like item I owned was a decorative calendar on my bedroom's wall. Most of the time it was covered with magnets and pictures or important reminders like "Valentine's Day!" and "My birthday!" — just in case I forgot what date they fall on each year. Or it would fall to the floor and stay there indefinitely. At the start of my senior year, with lists of deadlines, interviews, weekly work schedules and sorority obligations looming over me, I knew my memory wouldn't have space for everything. Neither would that plastic, dry erase calendar. I surrendered to the guaranteed anxiety of the near future and bought a planner. Seeing everything on paper made my tasks seem tangible, which is good, but also overwhelming and counterintuitive with the planner's goal — to reduce stress. I needed to expire my lifelong motto, "The best minute is the last minute," which had never failed me in the past, for "The early bird gets the worm." So that's what I did, and I adjusted accordingly. My queen-sized bed has become the perfect workspace to spread out magazine projects, and neon-colored Post-its brighten my day with friendly and not so friendly to-do reminders. No matter how you organize your life, stress is still unavoidable. You're in college, remember? Stress comes along with the territory. Check out Gabrielle's story on page 11 to learn how to stress less and manage your time wisely. My organizational methods are by no means the ideal examples to follow. Each person organizes and prioritizes differently; the trick is to learn what works for you and to adjust when needed. A part of me is jealous of those organizational pros who color code their tasks using a fancy collection of pens, or those techsavvy pros who organize their lives with their iPhone or Blackberry smart phones. But a planner, a queen-sized bed, Post-Its and a good memory are all I need to keep my sanity when to-do lists accumulate quickly.

The owners said they hoped to fulfill students' and residents' desires for late night sweets after a late night on the town, while staying up to study or while staying in with friends. They said their goal was to have the cookies at their customers' doorsteps as fast as Jimmy John's does. A BAKER A VISIONARY, A BUSINESSMAN AND A BAKER Rafferty is the visionary. He came up with the idea for the bakery after seeing something similar succeed while he was at school in Colorado. He said he thought one in Lawrence could make money, too. Rafferty, McCallough and Olsen said they put a lot of time and effort into making the company run smoothly. McCallough is the businessman. "the best cookies ever." "I decided to go ahead and make the recipes myself just because it would be better for our ingredients and our storage purposes," Olsen said. "This doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense unless you know exactly what is in our cookies, which is a secret." While Lucky You Bakery has not been open long enough to determine how much it makes on an average night, business has tripled since opening weekend, said McCollough. So far, the owners have handed out a few flyers and have mainly relied on word of mouth, Facebook and Twitter to generate business. "I ordered their cookies last Thursday with my friends and I have never had a better chocolate chip cookie," said Shannon Spurlock, a junior from Burlingame, Calif. "All of the cookies they serve are great. I would know because I ordered one of every kind to be sure I ate they had received, they said they were especially excited about what they had learned. "It has been a cool lesson of interdependence to see how we all click together," McCollough said. As for where they are headed, none of them really know. With brownies to join their menu soon, Rafferty hopes for expansion. He said some day they may even like to have a store front. "We want it to grow." Rafferty said. "We want to continue perfecting what we do, but we don't know how large the market is. It's going to be a journey." The cookies cost $6 for six or $12 for 13. Lucky You Bakery is open for delivery Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. and Friday and Saturday from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Customers can order online at luckyyoubakery.com or by calling (785) 865-1466.

KANSAS IN HEAT // SHY IN THE BEDROOM > Tackle the sticky world of relationships. 02 10 11 4 G GAT Megan Singer/KANSAN // MIKE ANDERSON Q. I've been with my girlfriend for about 18 months, and when we met, I thought she was outgoing, confident and a bit crazy. She tried to jump my bones the first night we met. She has since decided that she is really shy and can't express herself unless drunk, and now our sex life is a nightmare. I pretty much always want sex, and she never seems interested and expects 30 minutes of foreplay, initiated by me but only when she might be in the mood. Also, she hates going down on me, which is almost grounds for moving on! BATES A. This tale of sorrow sounds like a common problem with a different twist. Her early sexual behavior might have been caused by alcohol or an unrequited love situation with a previous guy where she was the pursuer and lost a bit of self-esteem. Now that she knows she has you, she can fall back on a sexual schedule that better suits her. If you believe your sexual compatibility might be too different, that may be grounds for moving on - if that is something that is really important to you in a relationship. The other possibility is that stress from work, school, the relationship or another area is causing a decrease in her libido. I'd first ask her about that possibility and how you can help. Also, something might be causing her to produce less vaginal lubrication, which might make sex painful for her. I'd openly talk to her about her libido and yours; just do it in a nonconfrontational way. Strong libido differences or sexual differences normally do not get better without communication. Here's what I would try. Don't initiate any type of sex for an extended period of time I'll let you decide how long it should be; it depends how often you see her. In most of these situations, the rejector of sex (your girlfriend) will get turned on by your sudden lack of sexual interest and start to initiate sex. FREDERICK A. Without being too presumptuous, did you happen to be under the influence the first night you met? It is amazing how alcohol lives up to its reputation as a disinhibitor, don't you think? That said, let's tackle your questions. First of all, foreplay is almost always an absolute necessity for sexual satisfaction! Foreplay allows stimulation development from numerous parts of the body, which in turn provides muscle relaxation, mental relaxation, blood flow to the genitals and lubrication. Foreplay also allows you and your partner to discover each other's erogenous zones and alternative ways to reach orgasm; this is beneficial for women who cannot orgasm from genital stimulation alone. Have you ever discussed with your girlfriend what turns her on and how she can reach orgasm? Perhaps she requires a different path towards her final destination. Go with her on the journey! Now, onto the blow job. Inexperience often leads to apprehension. Your girlfriend might need your patience and feedback to learn how to give YOU a blow job. I emphasize YOU because, despite the number of sexual partners you might have during your lifetime, each and every partner will have different sexual needs and desires. Senior guard Marisha Brown and freshman guard Diana Moore celebrate after teammate Carolyn Davis hits the winning shot Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks took on fellow Big 12 team Iowa State. The game went into overtime and Kansas won 86-85. Both you and your partner may need to adjust your techniques to reach your desired sexual satisfaction. Tenderly communicate your frustrations with your partner and disclose to each other your sexual desires. Hopefully, you will rediscover the sexual animal in both of you! // MICHELLE MACBAIN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND PAGE 7A Kansas softball team gears up for tournament BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Inches of snow and freezing temperatures don't generally comes to mind when thinking about softball season.

Many of us have developed a love-hate relationship with the stuff. The shoveling, scraping and slipping are all part of the deal when Mother Nature decides to give us the cold shoulder, but with just one gallon of snow, a little sugar, vanilla and milk, you have enough ice cream for eight. But is it safe to eat? 10 For Lauren Richter, a Shawnee sophomore, the idea of eating snow is nothing new. "In high school, my friends and I would take snow and Dr. Pepper and make tasty snow cones." Staci Simonich, associate professor of chemistry at Oregon State University, has studied snow extensively and has the answer. As snow crystals fall, pollutants - such as pesticides found in the atmosphere - can attach themselves to the water particles, but not enough to cause harm, Simonich says. Photograph by Travis Young Simonich was part of a National Park Service study that examined the toxicity level of snow found in national parks across the country. The study, published last year, found Photograph by Travis Young EPA-approved. Eating freshly fallen snow is a part of the winter experience and it's safe, too. the concentration of pesticides in snow to be 100 to 1,000 times lower than the drinking water standards set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency [EPA]. "The snow we measured in the U.S. is safe," Simonich says." I have two children and I wouldn't take the joy of eating fresh snow away from them."

Luckily, we've been graced with a wonderful substance: caffeine. But which is better: coffee or energy drinks? Tea or soda? Anna Hurst, a sophomore from Wichita, says she likes to sip on coffee daily, preferably a caramel macchiato, because she feels like she needs it to function. > If you're going to do it, be smart. Contributed photo The best part of making up: Coffee and tea offer health benefits, such as antioxidants, as well as an energy boost. Energy drinks only offer sugar. Ann Chapman, a dietitian at the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center, says Hurst is on the right track. When students need a caffeine boost, coffee or tea is the best bet. Research shows that the antioxidants in these two beverages can help protect our hearts, Chapman says, so in addition to a pick-me-up, students are also getting some health benefits. Those benefits increase if a student orders a latte or cappuccino, which contain vitamin D and calcium. Chapman warns students to stay away from energy drinks and soda, because often these beverages offer no health benefits and large amounts of sugar. THIS MONDAY IS VALENTINE'S DAY!

But for the Kansas softball team, these elements became a harsh reality. The weather has forced the team to practice indoors on the Ray Evans Football Field at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The facility allows the team to get batting practice in and hold full practices for the infield and outfield. However, practicing on the turf creates a number of obstacles for the players. "We can't dive on it or else we will get torn up," said sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull. The ball reacts differently on the turf than it does on the grass or the dirt. When teams are playing outside, a ground ball might hop slightly to the left or the right depending on the condition of the field. Even though the conditions are different, Coach Megan Smith is not going to let the indoor practices be an excuse for lack of effort. "We are ready to get out. At some point in time as a team you are done with practice and we are at that point. We are going to go out and work as hard as we can and there are some other schools that are in the same boat as we are," Smith said. The team's chance to escape the Kansas cold is finally here. Kansas is heading to Jacksonville, Fla., to compete this weekend against the University of North Carolina, the University of Buffalo, Bethune-Cookman University and Jacksonville University. "This first weekend is going to be a great chance for us to see everybody in action," Smith said. Smith said this year's team is very different than last year's team, even though it graduated only two infielders. The eight-member freshman class has stepped up to the challenge.

While most expired medications are not dangerous, a few become poisonous over time. CVS NEW DAYTIME CARE 10 R. OZ. Dramamine Imagine a hazy Sunday morning cloaked with the worst kind of hangover. A pounding headache makes your skull throb as you recall those countless rounds of Jägerbombs. You reach for a bottle of ibuprofen that expired a year ago, pop a couple pills and gulp them down with a tall glass of water, praying that your pain disappears soon. Two hours later, the same agonizing migraine pulsates through your temples. That's what could happen if you take expired medication. Nathaniel Vigil, a senior from Austin, Texas, found himself in a similar situation a couple weeks ago when a stuffy nose and deep cough clouded the start to his semester. He began taking Sudafed to ease his symptoms. After taking his first dose, Vigil examined the box and discovered the medicine had expired over a year ago. Vigil immediately tossed the medication and hopped in his car toward the pharmacy. Tama Sawyer, the director of the Poison Control Center at the University of Kansas and a pharmacist, says as time goes on medication may lose its effectiveness. That's why Lisa Oller, also a pharmacist and a senior certified specialist in poison information at the University of Kansas Hospital Poison Center, doesn't recommend anyone take medication after its expiration date. "If it is expired, it should probably be replaced," Oller says. "Think of it kind of like something in your kitchen cabinet that is expired. Do you really want to eat that?" It's not hard to find the expiration date on most medications. Oller says the expiration date for over-the-counter medication can usually be found on the back of the bottle. Sawyer says it's a good idea for shopper to check the expiration date before they make a purchase. Otherwise, they could only be throwing their money away on old medication. "If you shop at Dollar General Store or other outlet-type store, make sure you check the expiration date," Sawyer says. "I have found many of these products are already expired at the time of purchase." Just because medication hasn't expired doesn't mean it's still as potent as the day it was produced. If medication isn't stored properly, it may stop working long before its expiration date. Oller says humidity and moisture can affect the actual composition of the medication and can cause the drugs to degrade more rapidly as EXPIRED MEDS STILL DEPENDABLE OR JUST PLAIN DANGEROUS? // JUSTINE PATTON well. Sawyer says medication should be stored in a place with a stable temperature. The glove box of a car, for example, is probably the worst possible location. Oller discourages storing medication in refrigerators as well, unless otherwise noted on the bottle, as refrigerators often provide easy access for children. The good news? Taking most expired medications won't cause sickness. However, a few medications become poisonous after they have expired. Sawyer says a class of drugs prescribed primarily to treat acne, which includes Tetracycline, Doxycycline and Minocycline, can have serious effects on individuals' kidneys if they ingest the medication after the expiration date. Oller says insulin and liquid antibiotics are also unsafe to take after they expire because they degrade more rapidly than other medications and lose their effectiveness quickly. Shelby McCreery, a sophomore from Shawnee, says she only checks the expiration date on her prescription medications. McCreery says when she takes over-the-counter medications, such as Advil for a headache, most of the time she doesn't notice the expiration date. Sawyer says just because medication isn't expired doesn't mean individuals should hold onto it. "If it is a prescription medication, take it as directed and don't hoard the remainder for the next time you get sick," Sawyer says, "Your illness may not be the same." Sawyer also discourages passing medication onto someone else with similar symptoms. Instead, she recommends getting rid of it. Disposing of medication the right way is really pretty simple — but there are a lot of wrong ways as well. Oller discourages flushing expired medication down the toilet, whether it is liquid or solid, because the drugs potentially could get into the public water supply, which includes the water pouring out of kitchen faucets. This could cause problems for people with allergies, pregnant women and small children as well. HOW TO DISPOSE OF MEDICATION: + Put unused or expired solid medication in a sealable bag. + Don't forget unused or expired pet medications. + Add unused or expired liquid medications. + Add a small amount of water to help dissolve solid medications. + Add kitty litter, sawdust, or coffee grounds to make medicine unattractive to children and animals. + Seal and gently mix the contents together. + Toss the bag into the trash. + Remove and destroy personal information on medicine containers. + Toss, or where possible, recycle medicine containers.

A word that holds so much power, it ignites distress among romantic partners. Some people regard cheating as being sexually involved with another person while being in a relationship. Others consider texting another person to be cheating. While defining cheating and the reason for doing it is different for each couple, the backlash and emotions involved can be devastating. The reasons for cheating have changed little over the years. What has changed is the definition of cheating and the different outlets in which it occurs. WHAT IS IT? ❤ Each couple defines cheating differently. Typically, people think of it as being sexually involved with a person who is not your romantic partner. But what does it mean to be sexually involved? Mayo Clinic women's health nurse practicioner Lois McGuire identifies sexual intercourse as much more than the traditional definitions. In her article "What is considered intercourse?" McGuire notes the definition of sexual intercourse has changed from just a penis entering a vagina to other forms of intimacy. These other forms can be anything from oral sex to other forms of sexual activity. While defining cheating is difficult enough, trying to see if and when it's coming might be harder. But the key is noticing changes in behavior. Molly, Kansas City, Kan. junior, cheated on her boyfriend and began showing signs something was wrong after hanging out with a new set of friends. The summer after her sophomore year, Molly began hanging out with her new roommates and their friends. She noticed herself developing an interest in a certain boy and slowly began changing her habits regarding her boyfriend. "I started communicating less with my boyfriend and spending more time around this new boy and his friends," she says. his friends, once they saw The actual incident of cheating was unintentional but that detail didn't make Molly feel any better. "I regret my actions because I hurt someone I cared about," she says. Being the "cheater" and not the "cheater" are two very different sides to be on. Kyle Brown, Topeka senior, was cheated on during his freshman year at KU. He and his girlfriend had been dating for four months. The two had to say goodbye when he left to start school at KU and he soon began to notice changes in her behavior. Brown's girlfriend started shortening their conversations and didn't seem as excited as she used to be to talk to him. "She wouldn't talk to me as much as she used to," he says. "She was also really vague about what she was doing and whom she was with, and she used to want to tell me that stuff. Even though I was at KU and she was in Topeka, we started seeing each other less." Brown ended things with her because of distance issues, only to find out she had cheated when she confessed to him after the breakup. He says he was hurt at first but made the choice to move forward and never look back. "We haven't talked since," he says. "People who have been there know how it is." WHY? ❤ Isn't this always the first question someone asks when he or she has been cheated on? Sometimes you won't get a straightforward answer. But if you read between the lines you may be able to figure it out on your own. Ben, a senior from Chicago, cheated on his girlfriend six months during his freshman year at KU.

"I guess one reason why probably had to do with jealousy my girlfriend at the time was. She had pissed me off and annoyed me about talking to my ex already. She was so incapable of trusting that it provoked me." Ben may have stumbled upon something pertinent in regards to cheating as a way of rebelling. Maryann Karinch, co-author of Date Decoder: Military Intelligence Techniques to Expose What He's Really Thinking, says cheating has less to do with attraction to someone else and more with the ego of the cheater. She points out romantic partners have to let go of their egos a little bit, but if a partner lets go of it too much he or she can be completely consumed by the relationship.

Communication. The most important part of any relationship is to talk to one another. Karinch stresses the importance of partners talking to each other and setting parameters about what his or her definition of cheating is and making sure each partner is happy in the relationship and doesn't feel overwhelmed. CHEATING WITH TECHNOLOGY ❤️ The Internet has greatly affected the way people cheat. The rapid speed and around-the-clock availability makes the Internet an enticing outlet. While some couples may not consider using the Internet to act on sexual desires, from viewing pornography to carrying out a sexually-driven conversation with Photo Illustration | Travis Young someone in a chat room, as cheating, others do. Karinch, the co-author of the Date Decoder, notes how the Internet makes a person feel as if he or she is in a different world apart from reality. "The Internet makes cheating feel more like a cartoon," she says. "You are jumping into this virtual world and you almost feel like it's not really you."

Both are game specific to the Internet and require users to build and personalize an avatar. Karinch notes how some people who cheat on the Internet feel the same way as the people who play these games because both circumstances make a person feel as if they can do things they cannot do in real life. "People consider the Internet a target for cheating," Karinch says. "It doesn't feel like cheating because it's so surreal." One of the biggest attractions to cheating on the Internet is ease. A recent survey of Canadian college students found that more than 87 percent of more than 2,500 participants admitted to using technology in order to engage in sexual acts. But not necessarily cheating. The tools these participants admitted to using include Web cams, text message and instant message. With such an overwhelming number of college students engaging in sexual acts via the Internet, one might think it would be easy to answer the age-old question: Is online sex cheating? Unfortunately, online sex is defined just as traditional cheating is, by each relationship. As couples make their own rules about what constitutes traditional cheating, they also make the rules regarding cheating and technology. library expanison approved The expansion will include the construction of a new parking lot and the addition of 100 public computers.

"The music you listen to while walking to class probably varies from the music you listen to while studying or doing homework," Clair says. Doing homework on campus without music to drown out the voices of others was difficult. Not only was I distracted by the physical sound, but also by the things people were saying. After a sluggish day on campus, I somehow thought it'd be a good idea to workout without music. I had one of the worst workouts of my life! I hated hearing myself breathe and I had little motivation to keep going on the treadmill. I left the gym feeling tired and cranky. "One benefit of music is it allows us to go longer when exercising." Clair says. "Our body trains itself to match the rhythm of the music to the rhythm of our workout." If you're a music lover, try going without it for a day. It'll test your sanity, but you might overhear something funny while at the Underground.

The ball reacts differently on the turf than it does on the grass or the dirt. When teams are playing outside, a ground ball might hop slightly to the left or the right depending on the condition of the field. Inches of snow and freezing temperatures don't generally comes to mind when thinking about softball season. But for the Kansas softball team, these elements became a harsh reality. The weather has forced the team to practice indoors on the Ray Evans Football Field at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The facility allows the team to get batting practice in and hold full practices for the infield and outfield. However, practicing on the turf creates a number of obstacles for the players. "We are ready to get out. At some point in time as a team you are done with practice and we are at that point. We are going to go out and work as hard as we can and there are some other schools that are in the same boat as we are." Smith said. Even though the conditions are different, Coach Megan Smith is not going to let the indoor practices be an excuse for lack of effort. The team's chance to escape the Kansas cold is finally here. Kansas is heading to Jacksonville, Fla., to compete this weekend against the University of North Carolina, the University of Buffalo, Bethune-Cookman University and Jacksonville University. Smith said this year's team is very different than last year's team, even though it graduated only two infielders. The eight-member freshman class has stepped up to the challenge. "This first weekend is going to be a great chance for us to see everybody in action," Smith said. "We have a talented group of freshman.

Tannehill starting from day one will help this year, along with eight other returning offensive starters. 5. Texas: There is just too much talent in Austin to miss out on another ball game. Coach Mack Brown landed the nation's fifth-best recruiting class according to ESPN, and the defense returns eight starters. Losing defensive coordinator Will Muschamp to Florida keeps me from putting the Longhorns any higher than fifth. 10. Kansas: Good things are happening for Turner Gill and the football program, it just might take another year to see those improvements. Gill and his staff landed a stellar recruiting class for a disastrous first season. As many as 16 of those freshman will play in 2011 according to Gill, which makes me wonder how much talent he didn't have in 2010. Expect growing pains from the large batch of first year players next season, but be excited for 2012. 6. Baylor: Robert Griffin III is the best quarterback no one outside of Big 12 country has heard of. Griffin accounted for 30 touchdowns in 2010, with 22 through the air and eight on the ground.

ORGANIZATION // GABRIELLE SCHOCK BIO FRENCH HOW TO GET YOUR LIFE IN ORDER But it's not always that easy. "Usually a month in, things start to fall apart," Jenks, a Hutchinson junior, says. At the start of each semester, Mindy Jenks makes the same promise. She tells herself, "This is the semester I'll change; I'll become organized and actually stay organized." Staying organized as a student is essential, though it's not always easy to keep up. Tests and projects begin piling up, desks become cluttered and before long, the task of becoming organized is daunting. "Staying organized is hard for everyone," Dr. Mary Ann Rasnack, director of Academic Achievement and Access Center [AAAC], says. "New things pop up, people get sick, etc. The trick is knowing when you're off track and when to ask for help." The AAAC gave Jenks the help she needed. She scheduled an appointment and the center gave her an advisor who helped improve her time management skills. "I figured it's free here at [the University of Kansas], I might as well utilize all the help I can get," Jenks says. "They helped me set up a schedule for every day of the week. I go to school full time and Audrey Moylan, a sophomore from Lenexa, says she considers her planner a crucial part of her life. "If I don't have my planner, I feel so disorganized," she says. Staying organized as a student is not just about jotting down your homework assignments in a planner. Moylan says the area in which she studies must be organized as well. "My desk is usually pretty cluttered," she says. "Plus, I live in a sorority, so it can be kind of noisy. I need a clean, quiet place to study in." also work, so it's been a huge help scheduling in study time for me." Setting up a schedule and using a planner helps alleviate academic stress and will also provide a visual tool to help manage your time. Rasnack, the AAAC director, recommends creating two types of planners: one for each day of the week and one for the entire semester. "The weekly planner will help show what is important to do now, while the semester schedule is meant for bigger projects, tests and finals," she says. "I also tell students to use color to tell events apart from each other." Rasnak suggests finding a quiet place on campus to study because distractions at home can prevent productivity. The Learning Center on the fourth floor of Anschutz Library is her top recommendation.

For Jenks, this means having two planners: one for school and another for fun things like hanging out with friends.

Kansas State: Kansas State nearly won a bowl game last year, but loses its only offensive spark, running back Daniel Thomas, who ran for 1,585 yards and 19 touchdowns. Who will replace him?

Coach Mack Brown landed the nation's fifth-best recruiting class according to ESPN, and the defense returns eight starters. Losing defensive coordinator Will Muschamp to Florida keeps me from putting the Longhorns any higher than fifth. 6. Baylor: Robert Griffin III is the quickback quarter no one outside of Big 12 country has heard of. Griffin accounted for 30 touchdowns in 2010, with 22 through the air and eight on the ground. The defense is still a question mark, however. 10. Kansas: Good things are happening for Turner Gill and the football program, it just might take another year to see those improvements. Gill and his staff landed a stellar recruiting class for a disastrous first season. As many as 16 of those freshman will play in 2011 according to Gill, which makes me wonder how much talent he didn't have in 2010.

GARRETT DWORKIN LENEXA | SENIOR Ben Folds Five- "Battle of Who Could Care Less." It's catchy, and I'd want to have a hip theme song. 10 LIZ FRANGER MOUNT PROSPECT. ILL. JUNIOR "Treat Me Like Your Mother," by The Dead Weather. The song is about detecting lies, and my TV show would be a talk show where I could ask tough questions and get truthful answers. Plus, it would make me seem like a hardass. DRUE SELLS OVERLAND PARK | JUNIOR Elton John- "Benny and the Jets." It would just make a great opening song. I dig the piano part. MACKENZIE PRICE OVERLAND PARK | SOPHOMORE "Dayman," from the TV show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Charlie is hilarious, and I have an uncle who looks like Danny DeVito- no lie. If I had a show, they would both for certain be in it. Jessica LAUREN GORDON CHANUTE | FRESHMAN Does it have to be appropriate? If not, then "Look Back At Me" by Trina. It's a... jam. JOEL COON TOPEKA | SOPHOMORE "Search and Destroy" by The Stooges. It's just the first thing that came into my head. Analyze that. PENGENALI LAURA WEAVER SHAWNEE | SOPHOMORE The song "I Wonder" by Rodriguez. It's a nice, chill song about the mental quandaries of people.

BASKETBALL REWIND PAGE 7A SOFTBALL Kansas softball team gears up for tournament BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Inches of snow and freezing temperatures don't generally comes to mind when thinking about softball season. But for the Kansas softball team, these elements became a harsh reality. The weather has forced the team to practice indoors on the Ray Evans Football Field at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The facility allows the team to get batting practice in and hold full practices for the infield and outfield. However, practicing on the turf creates a number of obstacles for the players. "We can't dive on it or else we will get torn up," said sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull. The ball reacts differently on the turf than it does on the grass or the dirt. When teams are playing outside, a ground ball might hop slightly to the left or the right depending on the condition of the field. Even though the conditions are different, Coach Megan Smith is not going to let the indoor practices be an excuse for lack of effort. "We are ready to get out. At some point in time as a team you are done with practice and we are at that point. We are going to go out and work as hard as we can and there are some other schools that are in the same boat as we are," Smith said. The team's chance to escape the Kansas cold is finally here.

Edited by Corey Thibodeaux REVIEW √ MOVIE REVIEW // 'I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS' > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. I Love You Phillip Morris is a love story – a pretty unusual one — that seems to rely too heavily on the main couple's homosexuality. In a lot of ways, the filmmakers give up on trying to make a new, extremely engaging film because the two main characters are gay — and isn't that new enough on its own? The film centers around Steven Russell (Jim Carrey), a real-life conman who escapes from prison several times, much to the chagrin of Texas state officials. In prison he meets his future lover Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor), a gentle man who Russell bunks with before being transported to another prison across the state. Russell vows that he will get out of prison soon and help Morris get released early so they will never again be apart. However, unknown to Morris, Russell's days of scheming and conning aren't over – and it's only a matter of time before he's caught again. The film is based on an account of the real-life conman and his lover. The film does succeed through casting. Carrey gives one of the best performances of 2010 as the instinctively tricky and truly devoted Steven Russell, and McGregor charms the audience as the sweet object of Russell's affection. As stated, the film does rest a lot on the homosexuality of the lead couple. A lot of scenes would be tired, cliché and snore-inducing in a heterosexual romantic comedy, but the filmmakers feel like they can get away with it. However, it is refreshing to see a real, live gay couple represented in film, and to see how unapolietic and even celebratory Russell is about his homosexuality. His many prison escapes are fun to watch, but the love scenes tend to fall flat, much like a boring love poem with all of the "she's" and "hers" changed to "he's" and "his." ✨✨✨ // CHANCE CARMICHAEL MUSIC REVIEW // SOFT CIRCLE - 'SHORE OBSESSED' (POST PRESENT MEDIUM) > KJHK's guide to sonic consumption Hisham Bharoocha, who made a name for himself while playing with insane noise rockers Lightning Bolt and the equally abrasive electronic act Black Dice, is on his own with his second LP under the pseudonym Soft Circle. Much like his first album, Full Bloom, Bharoocha deviates greatly from the sounds of his former bands with Shore Obsessed and strikes out into a new territory that consists heavily of danceable beats, actual lyrics to sing along to and melodies that aren't washed out by nonstop drumming and other background noise. Bharoocha takes his sound one step farther with this project, which eliminates a lot of the droning noise that his first album relied on,and replaces it with a powerful dose of funk. This album has plenty of highlights. Bharoocha seems to free himself from his past and unleashes an album full of tenderness, good times and the sense that a brighter day is at our doorstep. Album opener, "First Time," which reverberates and echoes brightly, starts the record off with a bang but leaves the listener with enough energy to still enjoy the rest of the album. "First Time" establishes this sing-along record. Bharoocha's lyrics are not all that complicated, "hey love, hey lover/ hey lover hold my hand now," but are sung with such emotion that they will suck you into the song. Another stand out is "Treading Water," with its sultry boy/girl duet and extremely funky synth lines. Bharoocha has the ability to create something catchy without resorting to typical pop or club beats. Other stand out tracks include the bass heavy "Light Bright," the creepy headbanger "Reaper," and the song closest to Bharoocha's roots.

Iowa State: I give the Cyclones the edge over Kansas here because of the schedule. Both teams have more holes than a block of swiss, but Iowa State gets to host the Jayhawks on Nov. 5, and that might be the tiebreaker in the conference standings. spark an impressive six-game winning streak heading into the Cotton Bowl, which the Aggies dropped to LSU. Tannehill starting from day one will help this year, along with eight other returning offensive starters. 5. Texas: There is just too much talent in Austin to miss out on another bowl game. Coach Mack Brown landed the nation's fifth-best recruiting class according to ESPN, and the defense returns eight starters. Losing defensive coordinator Will Muschamp to Florida keeps me from putting the Longhorns any higher than fifth. 7. Texas Tech: I liked the hire of coach Tommy Tubberville last year and I think he can continue to improve the Red Raiders. Without a quarterback, though, it's hard to see how good Tech can be in 2011. 6. Baylor: Robert Griffin III is the best quarterback no one outside of Big 12 country has heard of. Griffin accounted for 30 touchdowns in 2010, with 22 through the air and eight on the ground. The defense is still a question mark, however. 10. Kansas: Good things are happening for Turner Gill and the football program, it just might take another year to see those improvements. Gill and his staff landed a stellar recruiting class for a disastrous first season. As many as 16 of those freshman will play in 2011 according to Gill, which makes me wonder how much talent he didn't have in 2010.

Will McCallough, 25, Bailey Olsen, a senior from Olathe, and Jack Rafferty, a senior from Shawnee, opened the late-night dessert delivery service, Lucky You Bakery, on Jan. 28. The owners said they hoped to fulfill students' and residents' desires for late night sweets after a late night on the town, while staying up to study or while staying in with friends. They said their goal was to have the cookies at their customers' doorsteps as fast as Jimmy John's does. A VISIONARY, A BUSINESSMAN AND A BAKER Rafferty, McCallough and Olsen said they put a lot of time and effort into making the company run smoothly. Rafferty is the visionary. He came up with the idea for the bakery after seeing something similar succeed while he was at school in Colorado. He said he thought one in Lawrence could make money, too. He said he was the one who kept everyone grounded, handled the money and took care of the little things. McCallough is the businessman. Olsen, meanwhile, is the baker. She makes what the owners call "the best cookies ever." "I decided to go ahead and make the recipes myself just because it would be better for our ingredients and our storage purposes," Olsen said. "This doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense unless you know exactly what is in our cookies, which is a secret." While Lucky You Bakery has not been open long enough to determine how much it makes on an average night, business has tripled since opening weekend, said McCollough. So far, the owners have handed out a few flyers and have mainly relied on word of mouth, Facebook and Twitter to generate business. "I ordered their cookies last Thursdaywith myfriendsandIhave never had a better chocolate chip cookie," said Shannon Spurlock, a junior from Burlingame, Calif. "All of the cookies they serve are great. I would know because I ordered one of every kind to be sure I ate the best one." While Rafferty, McCallough and Olsen said they were very excited about their growing business and the positive feedback they had received, they said they were especially excited about what they had learned. "It has been a cool lesson of interdependence to see how we all click together," McCollough said. As for where they are headed, none of them really know. With brownies to join their menu soon, Rafferty hopes for expansion. He said some day they may even like to have a store front. "We want it to grow," Rafferty said. "We want to continue perfecting what we do, but we don't know how large the market is. It's going to be a journey." The cookies cost $6 for six or $12 for 13. Lucky You Bakery is open for delivery Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. and Friday and Saturday from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Customers can order online at luckyyoubakery.com or by calling (785) 865-1466. — Edited by Helen Mubarak estipa FLOUR Aaron Harris/KANSAN Above: Bailey Olsen, a senior from Overland Park, measures ingredients for a cookie mix.

Director Midge Grinstead said the shelter experienced a small drain backup in the shelter's building designated for stray animals. The backup likely introduced the virus into the building from outside. contaminating kennels. She said a kneln technician overlooked the problem, but employees are usually vigilant about it. The virus only infected puppies, and it can take as few as five days to manifest symptoms. The shelter still took in dogs during the quarantine, but they were kept separate from the other dogs. Other puppies are still in quarantine, but the older dogs that tested negative for the virus were put back up for adoption. Grinstead said the shelter is taking extra precautions, such as extra staff training, to prevent another outbreak, but she's still worried about the disease. She said an environment like a shelter is stressful for dogs, and that, coupled with a puppy's weak immune system, can put them at risk. "Anytime you're housing animals, it's very scary," Grinstead said. "It's like KU being worried about the swine flu."

Dear city of Lawrence, I think it is more beneficial to drive with the plow down rather than up when there is snow on the streets. Just a suggestion. Community College, what a joke. I think it's a good idea to unfriend your ex on Facebook. It gives you the power of "Yeah, I deleted YOU, b*tr*h" PROTIP: Don't add your parents on Facebook. Girls shouldn't be measuring penises that are not their boyfriends'. Just saying. I've never wanted so badly to erase someone from my life. Until I met you. The only good thing about Valentine's Day is that we play K-State. WHAT?! Justin Bieber and Ozzy in the same commercial?! The world is ending before 2012! Does anyone else enjoy watching people do the almost-fall-down dance as they walk up the hill in the snow. I do! As I was walking to class, I kept smelling weed... I still have no idea where it came from. Whenever I meet a lady in the bar, I wonder if underneath the gobs of makeup and behind the Spanx and that Wonderbra lies the girl of my dreams. EDITORIAL Throughout the past two weeks, winter conditions across the state of Kansas have reached severe levels, with wind chills plummeting to as low as 20 degrees below zero. Online tools can save students from frigid temperatures These conditions, along with heavy snow accumulations throughout the past two months, have made students' treks across campus especially difficult as of late. Streets and sidewalks have become perilous with ice, and students are met head on with cold winds as they make their way across Mount Oread. For these reasons, students often are unable to make it to on-campus classes when the University remains open during such conditions. Because of the many transportation difficulties that students face in these elements, the University should give more consideration to the idea of closing down campus on such days more often. Having students stay home would allow snow removal crews more time to clear streets and sidewalks, unimpeded with the usual waves of pedestrian traffic. But even when little snow is present, sub-zero temperatures pose health risks that cause several area schools and colleges to close down. It is important to remember that while many students and employees can simply dress warmly and walk across campus with relative ease, there are many others who have particular needs that cannot be adequately addressed in extreme winter weather. Individuals who are elderly or disabled can often face added difficulties with driving, parking and moving across campus in the frigid cold, which has the potential to hinder their academic experience and opportunities. Because of the risks of ice and wind chill, the University should consider closing campus more often during periods of intense wind chill and heavy snow for the physical well-being of students and faculty. While the University attempts to keep campus open as often as possible so that course schedules can remain relatively stable, many modern technologies can help to overcome this problem. Students may miss the experience of physically going to class, but the use of educational sites like Blackboard makes it possible to easily access class materials online. On such snow days, teachers could make use of discussion boards and video conferencing to continue with the planned coursework in spite of the snow. Interactive technology gives teachers and lecturers of today more freedom than ever before to be able to contact students outside of the classroom. Because these means are available and already used widely by instructors at the University, students would already be accustomed to using them as a means of participating in courses even when campus is closed. While the University tries to stay open during severe winter weather in an attempt to maintain revenue and timely course progression, the risks to the health of students and faculty members can increase when the cold becomes too extreme. Educational technology offers instructors opportunities to continue classes online during inclement weather, and having this option ensures that courses can remain on-schedule even if campus is closed. The university should give more consideration to the needs of students who are out in these sub-zero temperatures and should make efforts in the future to prevent them from having to needlessly risk their health just to make it to class.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Keep your options open, Facebook unfriending not a desperate cry After reading James Castle's Feb. 9 argument about the etiquette behind de-friending (or not) an ex on Facebook, I have to disagree with him If so, Castle would understand that our nasty breakup and aftermath eventually resulted in a de-friending that was neither impolite nor upsetting. Now, I have to give my ex some credit: Until the very end of things, he was a nice guy. He constantly went out of his way to keep me happy. But now that our relationship is over, and we aren't on good terms, I wouldn't call not being friends on Facebook a desperate cry. Instead, I call it a realization that Facebook friends should be the people you actually care to contact. Thus, there's a real reason why my ex and I aren't fake friends. Because, honesty, I have had enough of him already. I have a new beau, so now more than ever, I don't long to know my ex's every move. Given he hasn't changed much since we split, I could probably guess it anyway. For example, I bet eight hours ago he used the term "broksi" while enjoying a beer. But I don't need the help of Mark Zuckerberg for that. I just use memories of real life. So since I don't desire knowing my ex's activity, I don't include him as a friend. Plus, going through the lengthy effort to creep on an ex while keeping yourself hidden doesn't make you seem neurotic and creepy. It does make you neurotic and creepy. And worse, you're not over it. So rather than being rude, not being friends with my ex due to our circumstances isn't a violation of made-up social rules or a sign that I'm still upset a year and a half after the fact. It just shows we don't talk. And that doesn't mean I need help. It means I'm done. CARTOON Rachel Keith is a junior from Wichita.

Vote now at KANSAN.COM/POLLs LETTER TO THE EDITOR Egypt has the right to believe US does not care for its citizens Alex Pugh's recent letter to the editor concerning Egypt is precisely the sort of rhetoric expressed by those who would continue to uphold the status quo in Egypt, the Middle East. His semantic acrobatics concerning the "facts" that might or might not lead one to conclude that the U.S. "cares" about the people of Egypt are de-contextualized at best, and harmful at worst. The fact of the matter is that the United States has propped up a regime - one that is admittedly not democratic - to the end of keeping the doors of Palestine closed, and at the expense of the well-being of the Egyptian people. Their collusion with the interests of the U.S. and Israel has come with a heavy price-tag - both for the people of Egypt and Palestine as well as the American tax payer. The harmful nature of Mr. Pugh's letter has to do with the way in which he claims to "agree with many points made by Ms. Jawhari," yet insists on superfluously dismantling a small component of that argument for no other reason than to make an irrelevant point. He effectively points out statistics concerning the state of poverty in the world today, but fails to acknowledge the fact that it is the U.S.'s support for the regime that cements the reality of the Egyptian people. What's more: it is becoming increasingly clear that it is the actual will of the people that this changes. Surely the will of the people is an important aspect in a democratic paradigm. As for the Army, I would remind Mr. Pugh and readers that neutrality is hardly a virtuous quality in times of conflict, as evinced by the fact that they stood by and did nothing as Mubarak's thugs terrorized the protesters in Tahrir Square. The relevant point in the matter is that the Egyptian people do not perceive the United States as being a caring entity, and they have good reason to believe so. The paternalistic and imperialist language of political scientists like Mr. Pugh, who insist on claiming realities other than the one that is evident and ignoring the will of the people is precisely the language of those who would repress the people themselves, and reveals the way of global policy-making that the people of Egypt are resisting in the first place.

POP CULTURE Beware: Facebook questionnaires reveal more than you think Every so often I see the results of Facebook questionnaires that match a friend's personality with a TV character. The analogies are generated by their answers to questions which choices have obvious connections to certain characters. There seems to be a questionnaire for each popular show: "30 Rock," "Glee," "Sex in the City," "Entourage" .. "Murder She Wrote." Seth Koppelman Previously, The Kansan covered how profile pictures and tweets reflect a favorable self-identity that we consciously cull, construe and cast onto the Internet (something we can thank Walt Whitman for). What's different about the "Which Character Are You?" quizzes is that the creators of television characters, television writers, purposely put their character's flaws front and center, unlike current Facebook aggrandizement trends. Sometimes these personality tests are very accurate - of course Mark is Polly D, he loves The Ranch. But what interests me about these questionnaires is not their accuracy, but rather their reflection of how candid, or unknowingly candid, Facebookers are with publishing their faults. BY MATTHEW MARSAGLIA mmsarsaglia@kansan.com At the same time, however, today's viewers are no longer satisfied with stock characters as they were in the past. Consequently, we expect television characters to demonstrate a certain level of complexity, or self-consciousness, by having to come to terms with how other characters reduce them to predefined, token roles. Television writers don't necessarily "create" characters so much as they tweak established archetypes and throw them together with other archetypes in an attempt to imitate real life. Often, characters, especially in comedic roles, become offended when other stock characters treat them as the very caricature the writers mold them into. self-conscious of their creators and the predictable dialogue that's written for them. We see this, for instance, with Tracy Jordan in "30 Rock," who becomes frustrated when he's reminded of what white people expect from him; or when Frank Moody of "Californication" cringes after characters evince his cliché adoption of the machismo, stylishly nihilistic, misunderstood-because-of-my-distaste-for-convention, author archetype. It's hard for them to take because they know that however impersonal these simplifications are, they play their own role in perpetuating them. We especially see moments of embracing, self-referenced roles during times of conflict. These are occasions where characters ask themselves "Who am I?" To which they respond, "I'm a romantic," or "I'm a nerd," or "I'm an overtly gay man" or whatever public conception they willfully adopt as their battle cry. And just as much as motivation is gained by people reminding themselves of their roles, we also see the reverse: characters encouraging conflicted character by reminding them of what societal label they're supposed to uphold in the I know I'm sampling from just a few shows, but this ambivalence towards public identity is what makes these Facebook questionnaires so interesting to me. By publishing the results of these questionnaires (and it's not as if the test takers don't know which "Sex in the City" character they are beforehand), Facebook users are not only openly acknowledging or promoting what stereotypical character they are, but also publicly admitting that, like such and such character, I too am insecure with my body, or am a misogynist, or a ditz, or an uppy yuppie, or a suffocating girlfriend, or a workaholic or whatever drawback makes this television character more real. Perhaps unintentionally, this is what makes the questionnaire takers seem more real, and that's pretty cool. Marsaglia is a senior in English from Naperville, III.

"Ed was always the kind of guy that would just do it—he'd go along with whatever crazy high jinks you wanted to get into," recalled Helms' closest friend, filmmaker Marc Webb, who is directing the new "Spider-Man" film for Sony. "So we volunteered and got these parkings vests, basically putting in the minimal amount of work so that we could see the maximum number of films." Film Festival.

BUDGET (CONTINUED FROM 1A) cuts to mental health care across the state. For Johnson and others in the mental health community, the cuts will cause obvious harm. Jessica Janasz/KANSAN "Just because you say you're not going to spend any money doesn't mean people's mental illnesses are going to disappear," Johnson said. ABALUN PACILITY He said he doubted the state could save a dollar for every dollar cut. "If you think you're going to cut $15 million and save $15 million you're being naive," he said. The Bert Nash Mental Health Community Center will face government budget cuts. Richard Spano, associate professor and dean of the School of Social Welfare, agreed with Johnson. The cuts could also make things harder for the School of Social Welfare. Students are required to complete a field practicum before they can get their bachelor's or master's degree. "It's a fundamentally flawed way of thinking," he said. Freda Herrington, director of field education, said that though it's impossible to know exactly how the cuts will affect Bert Nash and the field education program, the cuts could make it more difficult to get students the practicum they want. Students in field practicums work with supervisors who volunteer their time to the program. Spano said that when state funding is cut the program either reduces the staff or pays them solely based on the hours of clinical work. This means that working with a student could take away time from working with patients and reduce paid time on the job. "It would certainly be a significant loss to our field practicum program if Bert Nash were unable accept students," Herrington said. "Incarcerating them is a very expensive proposition," Spaano said. get cuts could also affect the way patients are treated. This is because the mentally ill are increasingly being treated by emergency rooms and general hospitals that aren't equipped to handle psychiatric disabilities. Many others end up in jail. Spano said the potential bud- account for 60 percent of the facility's pharmaceutical costs. Spano says that so far, the budget cuts have not caused any problems with getting students into the field practicums they want and he says he's proud of the social workers who continue to help the students. Fifteen percent of the inmates at the Douglas Correctional Facility are currently on a psychotropic drug, said Ken Massey, undersheriff of the Douglas County Corrections Division. Those same inmates "They have continued to do the very best they can in helping the next generation of social workers," Spano said. "For that I'm very grateful." — Edited by Tali David that is over 125 million years old. DINO (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "It's the oldest of the troodontids from North America," Celina said. "We can tell by relative dating of the rocks that they are found in." The twins have been interested in fossils since their childhood, and both chose the University to obtain their Ph.Ds. "I don't know if I can remember time where I didn't want to do this for a living; my earliest memories are of collecting rocks," Marina said. "Me and my sister and friends spent a lot of time looking for fossils." The twins' KU advisor, Luis Gonzales, remembers the Suarez's time at the University fondly. "They were very close and quite inseparable," Gonzales said. "It wasn't fair to me that when I had fights with grad students, it was one, but with them, it was two."

PETER GOLDBERG Ashleigh Lee/KANSAN Speakers at the Human Rights Symposium Thursday in Green Hall and the Burge Union addressed essential yet little-known rights. Joseph Mastrosimoine, Kansas human rights commission director, spoke about the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which prevents employers from discriminating against someone based on genetic data. Symposium tackles misunderstanding, prejudice HUMAN RIGHTS BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Walk down a busy street in Sanaa, Yemen, hand a Christian bible to a man and unfold a foreign world to him. The man's government has banned all non-Muslim works. He doesn't even know how to read. "It's an oppressive, anti-intellectual reality," said Raj Bhala, professor of Islamic law. Bhala, who said that Islamic law is not to blame and rather it is misunderstood, was one of eight speakers at the third annual Human Rights Symposium yesterday at Green Hall and the Burge Union. Burgess Cronk "I think part of it is our fault. We don't always give the right picture," said Zainab Radhi, a student of jurisdictional studies in comparative Islamic economics from Baghdad. Baghdad. "Also, we're a bit lazy," she said. "Not many Muslim students come here or go to Europe to do studies and publish articles about Islam." Thesymposiumwaspresentedby the University's International Law Society, the Islamic Law Students Association, the Public Interest Law Society and the Center for Global and International Studies. It offered perspectives regarding several rights that offer essential protection but are often unfamiliar to those in need. Leilani Leighton, president of the University's International Law Society, said she was in favor of "anything that highlights some of the injustices that are going on everywhere." "To be a law student, on the cusp of graduation, with the private economy working as bad as it is, public interest law is a busy, hot topic right now," she said. Other speakers included NBC reporter Elizabeth Alex, immigration activists Angela Ferguson and Erin Flemming, and Kansas human rights commission director Joseph Mastrosimone. Mastrosimone spoke of the recently introduced Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, or GINA. The act prevents employers from not hiring someone based on genetic data that could indicate a future disease. Before GINA, there was no protection for predisposition of diseases. four or diseases "If you're going out into the workforce, employers are starting to collect information that is genetically based," he said.

The Cyclones are 1-8 in conference and reeling while the Jayhawks are playing some of their best basketball, particularly on the offensive end. But when this team knows it's supposed to kill a team, it has a tendency to play down (see: the entire nonconference slate). It'd take a lot for Iowa State to really put a scare in the Jayhawks, who look to have everyone healthy — if not 100 percent — for what seems like the first time in a while. Not that the injuries have mattered. Kansas hasn't had a real scare since losing to Texas. PLAYER TO WATCH Freshman guard Josh Selhu Selby's been out for the past two games, but it sounds like he'll be back for the Iowa State game Saturday. Bill Self has said Selby a few times that Selby was playing his best ball of the season before his injury, and his aggressiveness on the floor was finally being demonstrated. The counterpoint, though, is that the Jayhawks have been all but flawless offensively in their last two games. Self said the game at Nebraska was the best offensive performance of the season, while against Missouri the Jayhawks had their best statistical offensive performance. If the Jayhawks regress offensively — which is inevitable, it would seem — the blame may fall on Selby, fair or not. QUESTION MARK Will the Jayhawks get up for this one? The Jayhawks have been somewhat notorious for two years running for playing down to the level of their opponents. Doing that against Iowa State could prove costly, because the Cyclones record is misleading. They are 1-8 in conference, but five of those losses were within five points. In Ames, Iowa, the Cyclones played the Jayhawks close for all 40 minutes before losing 84-79. The Cyclons are great at taking care of the ball (they're 26th in the country at avoiding turnovers), but if Kansas's posts crash the glass, they should be able to dominate. The Cyclones are 273rd in the country at offensive rebounding. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "They've really been unlucky. He goes from a situation where they can win the first game in Lincoln, have the ball playing for one, turn it over and foul to lose in regulation. They had the game in Stillwater, up four with a minute left with the ball, and lose. The K-State game was one of those heart-breaking games also. He's real close to being .500 in the league, or better, and I think what he's done is give his guys a free mind offensively." Bill Self on coach Fred Holberg and Iowa State's misleading 1-8 conference record COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY ISU who? Cyclones whirl into town Saturday KANSAS VS. IOWA STATE 3 p.m., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, Lawrence Taylor KANSAS 23-1,(8-1) STARTERS BENOOR ABU KAWU Tyshawn Taylor, guard Taylor's struggles shooting the ball have been the most noticeable part of his game recently, but he's still getting the other things done. He's a premier defender and is one of the quickest guards in the country. If he can improve on his 6-of-26 shooting over the last three games, he'll be as good as ever. He gets the defensive challenge of stopping Diante Garrett. Tyshawn Taylor, guard Reed PETER HUSTON Selby DANIEL MCKINNEY ★★★☆ Tyrel Reed. guard JOHN C. BURKE Palo Mc.Morris PETER DAVIS Reed has been sharp in the last few games after a down year from behind the arc overall. He'll likely be on Iowa State's Scott Christopher defensively, a matchup that favors Reed and his athleticism. Reed has developed into an all-around player, while Christopher is still purely a sniper. Plenty of people will be calling for Brady Morningstar to start here after the Jayhawks had their two best offensive performances of the season in the last two games while Selby was confined to the bench. It's an easy argument to make, but Kansas could well have a great need of Selby come March, and he won't have the same quick learning curve if he doesn't get major minutes now. Josh Selby,guard ★★★☆ ★★★★☆ IOWA STATE 14-10,(1-8) STARTERS Palo has started in only two games this season. He is averaging four points per game on 32.4 shooting from the field. Against Kansas State he scored 10 points, seven of them coming from the free-throw line. He might have had a good game against the Wildcats, but he hasn't been too productive all season long. Bubu Palo, guard Morris dropped 17 points in the second half Monday against Missouri, and the Tigers' frontcourt is much more effective than the Cyclones'.His best game of the season was against the Cyclones — 33 points, 13 rebounds—and he's been playing well against better competition since then. There's no reason he can't get to 30 again Saturday. KANSAS 12 Marcus Morris, forward ★★☆☆☆ KANSAS 12 Markieff wasn't as good as his brother against Iowa State last time they crossed paths, but that doesn't mean he was anything short of stellar. Markieff finished with 17 points and 11 boards, and if he had managed to hit anything from the free throw line (he was 5-of-11), the numbers would have been even better. Markieff Morris, center Mk. Morris Scott Christopherson,guard ★★★★★ Christopherson was efficient against Kansas State. He was 8-11 from the field scoring 22 points. Of his three misses, two of them were from beyond the arc. He averaged 14.2 points per game, which is second on the team. In the first matchup with Kansas in 10 Christopherson Ames, Iowa, Christopherson was one of two players to play all 40 minutes. He went 4-13 from the field scoring nine points. ★★★☆☆ Garrett TAYLAH HOFFMAN Kansas coach Bill Self says he deserves to be on the Big 12 first team with the numbers he is putting up this season. He is fifth in the Big 12 in scoring, averaging 17.9 points per game and he leads the league with 5.96 assists per game. Diante Garrett, guard ★★★★☆ Ejin in re 6.9 of m 9 Melvin Ejim, forward Ejim is 11th in the Big 12 in rebounding averaging 6.9 per game. He is one of five players averaging more than 10 points per game. His 49.7 shooting percentage is a team best. During conference play his numbers have declined.He is only A. E. C. CITY OF NEW YORK Ejim averaging 7.7 points per game and 6.3 reboundss per game. His shooting percentage has dropped to 36.2 percent. ★★☆★★ Jamie Vanderbeken, forward At 6-foot-11, Vanderbeken is the team's best three-point threat. He is shooting 44.4 percent in conference and 43.6 percent on the season. In the first contest with the Jayhawks, Vanderbeken scored 19 points in 39 minutes of work. His ability to stretch the floor will help open up the paint. ★★★★ COLLEGE OF STATUTE OF ARKANSAS TUCKY, KY. Vanderbeken ★★★☆☆ Mike Lavieri ISU TIPOFF Tim Dwyer AT A GLANCE — Brady Morningstar The Cyclones begin a gruelling schedule tomorrow. Iowa State will play four games in 10 days against the four ranked teams in the Big 12. Of these four games, three of them are away from Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State will start at No. 2 Kansas and will then proceed to play at No. 22 Texas A&M. It will the return home to play No. 20 Missouri to turn around and play at No. 3 Texas.The Cyclones have lost six games in a row since defeating Baylor 72-57 on Jan. 15. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior guard Diante Garrett Garrett is the Cyclones go- player. He can score, pass and hande the ball. With Craig Brackins leaving for the NBA Draft and Marquis Gilstrap graduating, Garrett has done an excellent job filling the void. Last season, Garrett Will Iowa State's luck change? D. WILLIAMS Garrett QUESTION MARK was Iowa State's fourth leading scorer averaging 9.2 points per game. In the first matchup with Kansas on Jan. 12, Garrett scored 27 points on 11-of-25 shooting. He played all 40 minutes. He was key in keeping up with the Jayhawks, but was bested by Marcus Morris' 33-point effort. Iowa State has some unlucky losses on its resumé. It lost its first game of the season's campaign to Nebraska 63-62 in Lincoln, Neb., on Jan. 8. Iowa State had the ball, but with six seconds left. Nebraska forced a turnover and Cyclone freshman forward Melvin Ejm pouled Cornhusker senior guard Lance Jeter, who sank one of two free throws for the Cornhusker victory. On Feb.5, the Cyclones squandered a four-point lead in the final minute to lose 86-85 to Kansas State. Iowa State hasn't played a team like Kansas this season in a place like Allen Fieldhouse. They don't have a chance to win the Big 12, but do have a chance to crash the party. They can disrupt things at the top and winning in Lawrence will do that. However, that won't happen. Kansas is too good and has been excellent on the offensive end in the last five games. HEARYE, HEARYE "We had a couple of break downs in the last minute and we were playing against Jacob Pullen and he'll make you pay for it." — Junior guard Scott Christopherson told 'the Ames Tribune after Iowa State's 86-85 loss to Kansas State on Feb. 5. ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF The Jayhawks put Iowa State away early and keep the pedal down. After watching the Cyclones struggle through a 1-8 start in conference play, the Jayhawks are likely to come out lax and unenergized, but the Cyclones only lost by five to the Jayhawks earlier this year.

Led by a career-high 33 points from Dwight Hardy, unranked St. John's demolished the No.10 Huskies, 89-72. This was a bloodletting just off Broadway. The UConn defense was terrible, picked apart with the greatest of ease by the spectacular Hardy, who four days earlier had scored 32 in a loss to UCLA. The Huskies' offense was highlighted by airballs, shots off the side of the backboard and missed alley-oops. The Red Storm (14-9, 6-5 Big East) led by as much as 25 and outscored UConn 54-41 in the second half. It is the most points scored in a half by a UConn opponent this season. Hardy's 33 are the most points allowed this season by UConn. The Huskies (18-5, 6-5) were making their 99th appearance at Madison Square Garden, where they have now lost four in a row (to Duke, to Kentucky and twice to St. John's). UConn's last appearance was a 73-51 blowout loss to the Red Storm in the first round of the Big East tournament in March. Kemba Walker had 15 points on 4-for-16, and seven assists. All four of his baskets were three-pointers. The Huskies hung around for a while Thursday, even took a lead late in the first half, but seemed deflated heading into halftime because of a sloppy sequence of events. — McClatchy-Tribune MORNING BREW Ray takes No.1 from Reggie Some call him Jesus,but the holy one couldn't knock 'em down like number 20. Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics. His name was Jesus Shuttlesworth in Spike Lee's "He Got Game". Now you can officially call him the 3-point champion. Last night against the Lakers, Ray passed Reggie Miller's NBA record of 2,560 career 3-point shots made. At the end of the quarter, he shook Reggie's hand and hugged him. Then he embraced his mother, who wore her "Mom Allen" shirt and then hugged Reggie herself. Then Ray raised his hand and soaked in the roars of the Boston Garden faithful. Reggie will continue to whine his case on TNT broadcasts, but make no mistake; Ray is king. And he's a king well deserving of his throne. Ray is always the first player warming up on game-days, and refusing to head back to the locker room until he sinks hundreds of threes. His daily preparation, from endless jump-shots to cleanly shaving his head, is robotic to say the least. And his form; oh baby his form. It is as sweet as can be. Poetic, graceful, silky. The prettiest shot there is. So here's to Ray Allen, the greatest 3-point shooter this world has ever known. ADIDAS ANDREWS ESPN has never been the hallmark of journalistic ethics. Not with former NFL Live pundit Rush Limbaugh quacking about Donovan McNabb's skin color and its relation to the quarterback's popularity. Not with college football grandpa Lou Holtz demanding BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com the end of Nancy Pelosi or name-dropping Adolf Hitler in a discussion of former Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez. But this... this one hurts. Sideline reporter Erin Andrews recently signed a deal with Reebok to endorse the company's ZigTech shoe campaign. She will promote the shoe along with athletes Sidney Crosby, John Wall, Peyton Manning (I bet you saw him coming) and others. I could care less how much her golden locks shine as she strolls along the sidelines. Her Dancing with the Stars credentials grant her no free pass. Reporters and promotion campaigns just don't belong in the same house. But it's a network based on ratings, not nods of approval from mom and pop. So they'll continue trotting out Adidas Andrews and whoever else is next on the list of polarizing and ethically challenged, um, we'll call them reporters. THE MORNING BREW riled up. So let's cool out with some jazz from perfectionist bassist and composer Charles Mingus. 1959's "Mingus Ah Um" perhaps best exemplifies the man of many moods. The cover displays a fine and fragmented painting from S. Neil Fujita, who also graces the covers of Miles Davis "'Round About Midnight' and Dave Brubeck's "Time Out". MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS Whew, Adidas Andrews got me all "Better Git It in Your Soul!" kicks off the show with an upbeat rhythm and fiery shouts of "Oh yeah!" and "Oh, I know!" Heed to the advice, people. Git it in there. "Fables of Faubus" creeps slowly into your ear, hopping up and down with its infectious beat. LACROSSE "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", the elegy to Lester Young, evokes poignancy, soul and meaning. It is the peak of this jagged mountain. — Edited by Marla Daniels KU CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Coach Dennis Shults talks stragetv with his men's club lacrosse team during a game. They are ranked 76 in preseason polls and expect to go far in this year's playoffs. Club lacrosse dreams big this year BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com With two days left before the start of their season, the Kansas Men's Club Lacrosse team had one final workout last night in the weight room in the Amber Student Recreation Center. Before hitting the weights, the 30 players listened as their first year coach, Dennis Shults, went over the game plan one last time. Shults, a former college lacrosse player who started all four years at Colorado School of Mines, couldn't be more eager to get his coaching career underway. "I've been spending the last semester just learning the basic plays that they were going through, and we've tweaked some stuff. I think it's important for me to get into their culture, as much as set my own," Shults said. The team went 5-0 in their division last season which gave way to a playoff appearance, Shults is hoping to recreate last years success. "We plan on winning our division," Shults said. He thinks this vision is an extreme possibility. Without Kansas State fielding a lacrosse team this season, the team will only have four other teams in their division. Along with Memphis, the Jayhawks will battle with Clemson and Vanderbilt — two squads Kansas has never played before. Out of the 150 club teams, Kansas is ranked in the '70s, Clemson is ranked in the '40s and Vanderbilt is in the '50s in the preseason polls. Playing against these two teams will give the Jayhawks and Shults a good idea of just how strong the team is. The Jayhawks' quest to reclaim the Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference 1AA title of the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association begins Saturday in Nashville, Tenn., against division rival Memphis. As they are now, the players feel very confident in their abilities to run the tables in the playoffs. "This season we have our best chances yet," senior goalie Brian Wright said. "Last year we did the best our team has ever done. We made it to the playoffs and lost. But this year we have just about everyone coming back and a lot of great new freshman." The freshman class includes attack Ryan Zupa who was an All-County Honorable mention for Glen Cove High School in Long Island, New York. While the freshman class hopes to positively affect the team, Shults is looking to his seniors to be his leaders. Shults thinks the three games this weekend and getting a win against Memphis will set the precedent for the season. The Jayhawks aren't too worried about it, though. "We plan on clobbering them," Shults said. next week, wore an orange jersey during practice and iced both knees when he was finished.

IOWA STATE BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com KU STATE There's a chance — a pretty good chance, it would seem — that Thomas Robinson could win the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year award. Arguably the best reserve in the conference. That's a good way to start a bench. 21 Then tack on Brady Morningstar, a two-year starter at Kansas and a guy who, as Bill Self puts it, just makes things run better. And Mario Little, who is third on the team in offensive rating, and Travis Releford, who is second, while Marcus Morris is first. Where: Lawrence, KS Time: Saturday, 3 p.m. TV: Big 12 Network Get Saturday's inside scoop GAME DAY | 10A LAW DAY 1980-81 NBA season MARK VILA PLAYER OF THE YEAR 12 NBA LEAGUE ALL STAR SYSTEM MARK VILA PLAYER OF THE YEAR 12 NBA LEAGUE ALL STAR SYSTEM MARK VILA PLAYER OF THE YEAR 12 is true. "When you have guys come off the bench and do what these guys did nightlong" Morris said after the Missouri game, "that makes us one of the deepest teams in the country." Check out stats for Kansas vs. Iowa State play. "If you really look at it, Tyshawn hasn't made shots. Josh has been out. Tyrell has been gimping around. Travis has been gimping around," Self said. "Still, we've been pretty efficient." "The guys that have stepped up," Markieff Morris said, "we knew they were capable of being starters if we needed them to be starters, so that's not surprising to us at all." Because of those injuries, Self has had the opportunity to toy around with multiple lineups — Little and Releford saw extended minutes Monday, Morningstar has started the last two games — and in doing so has discovered a depth in his bench that was always sort of assumed, but never proved. Minutes-wise, the Jayhawks aren't even close. The bench plays 34.6 percent of the Jayhawks' minutes, which is just a little more than average and just 93rd in the country. Production-wise, Morris is not far off. And it's a good thing, too. Kansas has been ripped by injuries lately — Josh Selby has missed the last two games, Tyrel Reed is hurt but hasn't missed time and Travis Releford missed the first five games of conference play. When Little and Releford combined for 27 points off the bench in 32 minutes as the seventh and eighth guys off the bench and the Jayhawks down a starter, no more proof was needed. "I don't think a lot of teams have that luxury," Self said Monday. that timely, so that it helps, too, that the regulars who are healthy have played so well. Marcus and Markieff Morris had 38 points on 17 shots, which is, simply put, statistically absurd. Little also hit a ridiculous 78 percent of his shots, while the team hit 61 percent as a team on Monday.

"Winning a game like that, going into overtime in such a close game we stayed together and got through it and with that you can do anything," Goodrich said. sad. Davis had a similar sentiment about the bond that came from the hard-fought battle. the hard fought "I think this brought us together because we fought the entire game," Davis said. Kansas is now 2-1 in its last three games and is looking for another win to turn around a disappointing start to conference Coach Bonnie Henrickson praised the resolve and resiliency that the team showed. season.

BONNIE HENRICKSON Goodrich led the team through 43 minutes of the overtime victory, only resting after a hard fall on her tailbone. Iowa State did not plan on guarding the threepoint line, so when she found herself open she just started taking shots. This plan worked for Goodrich as she hit 3-5 from the field and 2-2 from the free throw A&M at 7 p.m. in College Station on Saturday. The Aggies are currently ranked No. 6 in the nation and will likely put up another challenge for the Jayhawks. Davis is optimistic after the latest victory. Edited by Tali David We have all the confidence on our side," she said. "Not only did we get a win, but a ranked opponent win, and we are going to play another ranked opponent. There is just no doubt in our minds right now." COMMENTARY Don't change that channel I am a Ph.D. scholar in the Department of Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley. I have been interested in programming languages and computer science for many years and have developed several interesting algorithms and programs. I am currently working on a research project that involves developing a new type of programming language that is able to handle large data sets efficiently. I hope you will be excited by my work and encourage me to continue with my research. BY NICO ROESLER proesler@kansan.com Tonight is the pilot episode for a new show on Fox College Sports called "My Campus." Sports called "My Campus," and Kansas is lucky number one. With the help of KU students, Fox Sports lets the spirit of Lawrence and the University shine through in the first episode of this program. Filming took place during the three days leading up to the football season opener against North Dakota State with contributions from then-student Kacie Faye Brown and university film students. students. The intent of the program is to showcase different college campus cultures, and one thing definitely comes across about our University; it's a campus full of loud and proud students who like to have a good time. "I think that this highlights the traditions of KU, how pretty our campus is, how smart and talented our students are, how gifted our athletics are, and that attitude that a lot of people have in the Midwest you cannot find anywhere else in the world," Brown said. The great thing about this segment is that Kansas isn't represented through the eyes of outsiders, but from the eyes of a student. Kacie Faye Brown reveled in the opportunity to work with a national broadcast team and the chance to show off her school. She said that when alumni or strangers watch the show, they'll get a sense that the University of Kansas is a one-of-a-kind place. said. Brown and Erin Coscarelli, the host of the show, give a glimpse of some of the places that make Lawrence a surprising melting pot of entertainment options. For Brown, Lawrence is special because of its music scene, so she and Coscarelli filmed a segment on the top of the Granada marquee. They planned their night from their high perch, which included stops at Quinton's, The Cave and the lazzhaue Quiz Questions Let's face it. We all know how great this place is. And now, thanks to Fox Sports and Kacie Faye Brown, the rest of the country will get a glimpse of Lawrence. LAWYER Tailgating, though, is a huge part of the University's culture during football season, and Coscarelli made herself right at home by partaking in the activities. In the show, there is a giant pig on a spit rotating to fatty perfection (I don't know how I didn't see the giant swine on game day). And Coscarelli got the first bite of it, straight from the belly. "I've never seen more grown men look like they we're about to cry because they had been there slaving over it and cooking it all day," Brown said. "And here's this little California girl that walks up and gets the very first bite." With many tailgaters laughing in the background, let's just hope enough people get Fox College Sports from their cable or satellite provider to see themselves on TV. Look for it at 8 p.m. Edited by Marla Daniels THE JUDGE CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Turner Gill poses for a picture with Kacie Faye.

BY CHRISTINE CURTIN ccurtin@kansan.com ccurtin@kansan.com WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? Studies have shown people in a loving, healthy relationship have the advantages of: VOLUME 123 ISSUE 93 - Lower risk of heart disease, heart attack or stroke Cartoon-heart eyes, cheesy grins — it's Valentine Day. While some students want to shout their love atop Mount Oread, others want to push those people down the hill. But good news for both sides: there are health benefits to both being in a relationship and being single. - Healthier immune systems; less susceptible to the common cold - Decreased stress - Open attention; more willing to try new things - More likely to engage in positive health behaviors "A lot of times people will take better care of themselves for another person," Dr. Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins, said. "They're willing to make behavior changes for someone else, and that's the person they love." A hormone called oxytocin, referred to as "the love hormone", also plays a huge role in our health. Oxytocin is the hormone responsible for pair bonding in mammals, but it also serves as a stress-buffering hormone. When our oxytocin levels go up, our stress levels go down. "It's something really particular about thinking of love and why those relationships are important to you that raises your levels of oxytocin," Sarah Pressman, University of Kansas psychology professor, said. "And then our stress shows to decrease." LIVING THE SINGLE LIFE Even if you're not in a relationship, you can still rake in these positive emotional well-being and health benefits: · Feeling of support from family, friends · No risk of negative effects of being in an unhealthy rela- - No risk of negative effects of being in an unhealthy relationship - Sense of personal identity BELONGING TO DIFFERENT SOCIAL ROLES "If you have friends around you, if you have a social network that you can do things with, that can help you out in times of need, that can be really helpful and that's more of feeling supported," Pressman said. However, singles also may be able to have some of the same positive benefits that people in relationships experience. "If you're in a loving relationship, it has a positive impact on your health," Denning said. "If you're single but still have good family relationships and friends, it's considered somewhat neutral. You still may be able to have some of the benefits, or you may not." So, if you've pledged to wear black every Feb. 14, remember you still get health benefits from your social network. And for those of you in a loving relationship, toast to good health tonight. Edited by Becca Harsch - Nothing says romance like a night with a sultry piano and a soothing vocal performance, right?

It took her two years. He was 40 when he created his first invention. She was 12 when she created her first invention. Who is he? He is Thomas Edison. BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavier@kansan.com Who is she? She is Katie Mullen. Edison created the light bulb and the phonograph, which evolved into the modern-day telephone. The sophomore from Louisburg created the Paw Wash; the first dog paw cleaner that does not use Who is she? She is Katie Mulich. Mulich said she came up with the Paw Wash when she was in sixth grade because she had to come up with an idea for a science fair project. She said her mother told her to clean her dog Saddie's paws that were covered in mud, but she wanted an easier way to do this. a hose, bucket or brush. Instead, it uses suction and grooves on the inside of the container to clean the paws of dirt and snow. "I went to the barn and got PVC pipe and I showed my dad and we got a cap for it after church the next day," Mulich said. "We used it and he said 'Katie this actually really works'." She had no idea that the PVC pipe would work, but that it was just out of luck. She didn't add a brush to the Paw Wash because she did not want to worry about mold and how to clean it out. All it uses is water from a faucet and liquid soap. There are different variations of the Paw Wash, like the Pawplunger, which Mulich said infringed on her patent. She was not able to disclose any of the details of the infringement case, but did say that she did go to federal court when she was 17-years-old. She has sent cease and desist letters, but because it costs so much to go to court, she says it's not worth it SEE PAWS ON PAGE 3A MEN'S BASKETBALL | 10A No.1 ranking not important to all Past seasons show that No.1 ranking doesn't ensure post-season succes.

Wet fingertips sliding down tiles. Blood flowing down the drain. It's not quite a Valentine's love, but it's a love nonetheless. If you ask film critic David Thomson, that infamous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" made us long for more. The London native who lives in San Francisco, Calif., will present "The Hitchcock Moments: Psycho and Other Tales of Terror" tonight in the Union's Woodruff Auditorium at 7. The event is sponsored by The Hall Center for the Humanities, Student Union Activities and the Department of Film and Media Studies and will follow with a book signing in the Big 12 Room. Thomson, the author of several books including "The Moment of Psycho: How Alfred Hitchcock Taught America to Love Murder," will focus on a director who mastered his craft. "He was in love with technique and liked to experiment," said Zachary Ingle, graduate teaching assistant in The Film and Media Department. "Yet his films are also rich in themes, such as the transference of guilt." Ingle said that Hitchcock influenced both the French New Wave scene and more recent genre filmmakers like Brian De Palma and Robert Rodriguez. With spooky motifs, eerie scores and familiar faces, such as actor Jimmy Stewart, Hitchcock immerses the audience into his films. "You get really into the characters with all of the tragedy," Edinburgh, Scotland junior Amy Lenathen said. Lawrence sophomore Tim Clark said that whenever he walks around and sees birds flying around, he remembers 1963's "Birds". When considering 1960's "Psycho" shower scene, he said that likes that Hitchcock does not allow the viewer to witness the stabbing. "It leaves a little bit more to the imagination," Clark said. Because of the timeless moments, the Hitchcock brand lives on. "Thirty years after his death, Alfred Hitchcock is still a household name." Ingle said. "And that name is synonymous with 'suspense.'"

Mulich invented the Paw Wash when she was a sixth grader and owns the patent. Mulich thought the process of getting a patent and being where she is today would not take that long, but instead it has taken eight years. presently. PAWS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "I started getting prototypes made and we went through a lot because of different plastics," Mulich said. "Certain plastics would crack when we got it back. Ordering something took forever because it was coming from China and it takes months to get what you want back to see if it works." This table displays several products offered from Paw Wash. Paw Wash is a company started and invented by KU student Katie Mullich, a sophomore from Louisburg, who will be donating $1 for every Paw Wash sold to Wayside Waifs in Kansas City. More information about the Paw Wash can be found on www.thepawwash.com. Mulich decided to settle on polycarbonate, a strong plastic that a Nalgene water bottle is made out of. She was going to sell her product to some companies, but with contract talks falling through, she decided to do everything on her own. The Paw Wash has been known Chris Bronson/KANSAN Paw Wash The gentle but effective paw washer! Paw Wash h.com to people for three or four years, but Mulich has only been selling it for a year. It is offered in two sizes: one for large and medium-sized dogs and one for small dogs. Mulich said she has a number of units sold, but could not disclose it. She has received a lot of help and support from her family, especially her father. She says he keeps her in check and makes sure that she balances business and school. She is majoring in film and media studies with a minor in business, but wants to really focus on The Paw Wash. She wants to try and expand the product line. She offers a microfiber mitt to dry the paws, but not damage them like towels may do. She wants to create a shampoo or soap designed for paws. The unit is available online, but Mulich said it is now being available in pet stores and at Wayside Waifs, 3901 Martha Truman Rd., Kansas City, Mo., which is where she adopted her four-month-old puppy Callie. Mulich adopted her at Wayside Waifs because it is Kansas City's largest no kill pet adoption center. Mulich teamed with Wayside Waifs in January and is donating $1 for every Paw Wash sold.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7 Spend wisely on your Valentine. Use creative methods and chosen words. It's about sharing love with people, not money. Get outside and burn some calories with someone. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7 Today is you are tired of your old role? It's never too late to recreate and reinvent your persona. Balance intelligence with intuition to regenerate character. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6 The day may start looking gloomy and full of limitations. Warm up and stretch your muscles (including your mind), and, soon enough, opportunities open up. The emotions of the day may run amok and turn to frustration.

Have no fear, Justin Bieber and his new biopic movie "Never Say Never" are here, and they're keeping plenty of "Beliebers" happy. The movie was released on Friday, and it grossed $12.3 million in its first day. Film critics from the website Rottentomatoes. com gave the movie a 64% rating. In her review, Associated Press film critic Christy Lemire said the movie showed the "incomparable thrill of being young and bursting with love for your first idol crush." However, eFilmcritic.com writer Erik Childress called it a "gigantic commercial for the fans." However, not much of that $12.3 million came from Lawrence. Southwind 12 theaters Manager John Ratzlaff said he hadn't seen many crazy fans. "It's been very unremarkable," Ratzlaff said.

Is attending every KU men's basketball game resume-worthy? Is there anything better in the world than free alcohol? Someone asked me if I had plans for Valentine's Day and all that came to mind was Easy Mac, boxed wine and a lifetime movie marathon...

Do you ever feel like no one pays attention? WELL THEN LIGHT FIREWORKS ON YOUR BOOBS AND THEY WILL. — Katy Perry Five days later and pieces of newspaper are still falling out of my jacket. God, I'm gonna miss basketball season! Muscian shines light on love and neurophysiology HEALTH Apparently, Kesha is a neurophysiologist. Kesha has sung and talked her way into a relatively new field of science. She suggests romantic love is an addiction that can mask the effects of mental illness and neurotic behavior. Her findings and results can be found on her single "Your Love is My Drug." Let's analyze her observations: "I just can't get you off my mind." Romantic love is not just an emotional entity. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) show that love is a real, concrete drive, much like a sex drive. However, love is stronger than a sex drive. One can control tactile stimulation or physical arousal, but not the release of certain neurotransmitters. Dopamine is the targeted neurotransmitter responsible for the nuance in romantic love. Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at Rutgers University studying the science of love, gave her subjects a picture of their loved ones. The FMRI BY MONICA SAHA msaha@kansan.com shows neurons in the midbrain light up when the photograph is shown. This is where dopamine is being produced. Dopamine is linked to the feelings of addiction, competition and ecstasy. When one develops a crush, it is not easy to give her or him up, because your brain is producing "feel-good feelings." You want that person to be yours. You are constantly thinking about them. "If I keep it up like a love sick crackhead." Funny that you mention crack, Kesha Cocaine acts by blocking the reuptake of dopamine. Cocaine binds to the reuptake transporters that remove the excess of Dopamine from the synaptic gap. Therefore, dopamine cannot be reabsorbed by the dopaminergic neuron. There is an increased concentration of this neurotransmitter in the synapse. As a result, the natural effect of dopamine on the post-synaptic neuron leaves an elevated and addicting feeling leaves its elevated and indicting feeling This chemical response is similar to the feelings of love. "My friends think I've gone crazy." Yes, ves you have. All your profile pictures are of the two of you. You constantly text and call him or her. You keep tabs on each other. You ditch your friends to hang out The basis of you conversations to your friends is about him or her and advice you need. Your friends are right. It is simply unhealthy that you isolate yourself with your "significant" other. And what happens when you guys break up? Maybe cocaine will be legalized by then. (DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying everyone in love acts like this. But we all at least know someone that does.) Also, you can thank the fact that you do not need an illegal substance to induce these feelings. Now that Kesha and I have broken down the science of love, I hope you can enjoy today with your significant other. You can thank your nervous and sympathetic systems for the feelings of euphoria and love. But to all my single friends, well, Valentine's Day will be a distant memory tomorrow and Hershey's chocolate will be on sale. Luckily, chocolate can trigger the release of dopamine, too. Happy Valentine's Day! Saha is a junior in neurobiology from Overland Park.

Not to make singles feel like the outcasts in a crowd, but so we have a day when "all the single ladies" can stand up and realize that they don't need a relationship to feel good about themselves. This Valentine's Day, don't stay home, watching rom-coms and eating chocolate that you bought for yourself. Instead, visit family or go out and party with friends to remind yourself that you have people who love you no matter what. Or, dress up a little and tell yourself that you don't need a guy to tell you how hot you look. Valentine's Day should be a day of pride for all the single people who know who they are and are proud of it. Allison Bond is a junior from Andover in journalism and religious studies. Bad Stalk your ex-boyfriend. You know, the guy who doesn't have a problem with it being Valentine's Day. Even better, stalk your ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend! They're probably going to some romantic restaurant, and there's no reason you can't join them. It's not because you're "stalking" him, it's just that you want to treat yourself to a nice dinner after successfully not looking at his Facebook page in the past six hours. You deserve this. Once you get there, how about making some small talk? Start with, "Where's the whore? Oh, she's right there" to set the tone. After the jerk politely asks you to leave them alone, throw his glass of wine on his nice shirt and storm out of the restaurant as if he did something wrong to you. Go ahead, pat yourself on the back. When you get home, make sure to check his Twitter just in case he tweeted about you. It's okay this time, you deserve it. Jarod Kilgore is a junior from Lenexa in film and media studies. Ugly If you are a guy or a girl alone this Valentine's Day, you could just not worry about it and either do something with friends or ignore the holiday altogether. Go ahead. Tell yourself that you don't need someone else to validate. Your existence. However, I recommend wallowing in self-pity. In order to reinforce the notion that you're alone (and likely will be forever), you should make reservations at a romantic restaurant. Then, when you're sitting alone surrounded by happy couples, start ordering glass after glass of wine until you begin sobbing out of loneliness or intoxication. You want it to be quiet enough that no one comes over to see what's wrong, but loud enough that it ruins everyone's dinner.

Little had eight points and two assists for the Jayhawks Saturday. Game to Remember Tyshawn Taylor Taylor went 6-11 from the field and scored 14 points. He handled the ball well, without any difficult pressure. He had six assists and only one turnover. Self said Taylor needs to keep attacking the basket and seeing the ball go in, like Morningstar did, to build confidence. Taylor said that he has missed a few easy layups, but saw those go in against Iowa State. If this ALEXANDER MCKAY Taylor game means that Taylor starts turning it around offensively, this team can be extremely dangerous come post-season play. Roughly four minutes into the game against Iowa State, Bill Self sent a post off the bench to replace Marcus Morris for a spell. It wasn't Thomas Robinson. It won't be for the next three games, at least. Saturday afternoon, it didn't matter. "We're playing the best we've played all year, which is a good thing," coach Bill Self said. "But still, it's not our team. That's the thing that's a little frustrating; we don't have our team yet." Robinson's absence — and Josh Selby's, whom Self all but ruled out for Monday's game against Kansas State — wasn't much noticed as the Jayhawks rolled 89-66 against the Iowa State Cyclones. Travis Releford, who missed the first five games of conference play with an injury and has slowly worked his way back into the lineup, will get some of Robinson's minutes. So will Jeff Withey, who played a conference-season-high nine minutes and scored a season-high eight points. "It was a big confidence booster," Withey said. "Especially going into K-State, just having that confidence, having a game where I played well. I think I'll be able to be productive." Withey's minutes in particular could prove essential. He's the only Jayhawk on the roster who can replicate Robinson's size, and it's hard to win in the Big 12 Conference with two reserve posts who are 6-foot-6-inches or smaller, like Releford and Mario Little. "The guy sitting to my left, he has to step up," Marcus said. indicating Withey. "He knows it, since T-Rob's going to be out for a little bit. It's his time to step up and show people that he can play." Marcus said Withey gives the Jayhawks a different kind of presence in the middle, one that's been missing since Cole Aldrich left for the NBA draft last year. Withey finished with two blocks in his nine minutes of play. "In practice, he blocks my shot a lot," Marcus said, "so I know what kind of shot blocker he is. Just having that big body — something that Cole was last year, something that I can't do as well as these guys can — is definitely going to benefit us." "The pass to start the play is just as important as the pass to finish the play," Self said, "and that's where the twins are so good." The Morris twins will take on an increased role as well with Robinson out. Both attempted double-figure shots for just the second time in the last six games, and they finished with a combined 30 points and 22 rebounds. Markieff had a career-high six assists against just one turnover. But how the Jayhawks handle Robinson's and Selby's absences won't be nearly as important as how they handle the reintegration of those two into the lineup in late February and the all-important March. "I just hope that they both get back with their full speed a couple of weeks prior to the postseason," Self said. "That way, we can be in rhythm." — Edited by Amanda Sorell Game to Forget Where was Releford on Saturday? Yes he has been struggling with an injury and still isn't 100 percent, but to play 13 minutes and only score two points when he had 10 against a much better Missouri team is baffling. With Robinson out for two weeks and a time table not set on Selby, Releford needs to take advantage of his playing time like Mario Little has these last two games.

(785) 749-2705 --- / SPORTS / MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2011 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Kansas did something pretty remarkable and under the radar Saturday. The Jayhawks sent Iowa State to the free-throw line just twice in the entire game. They committed seven fouls. That's the lowest total on the season by three fouls, and the fewest since they had seven against Fort Hays State in 2003. What does that mean for Monday? Probably not much. Kansas still fouls too much and Kansas State still does a good job of getting to the free-throw line. The more interesting question is which will break first: Kansas' relative inability to get to the line or K-State's inability to keep teams from getting there? Little PLAYER TO WATCH M. N. BARRETT Mario Little is an offensive workhorse in the sense that, if he gets the ball on the right half of the court, something is going to happen. Bill Self said he'd lead the team in shots per minute, "and it's not even close". Even though Self was laughing when he said it, there was a little underlying criticism there. Little could probably take a lesson or two in passing from the Morris twins, whom Self always praises for being the best passers on the team. Little will see increased action with Thomas Robinson out of the lineup. What that means for his shots-per-minute numbers remains to be seen. How will Kansas State weather the storm? QUESTION MARK COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY Taylor Teams under pressure generally have one of two reactions. They either rally around each other and start playing their best basketball (see: Tennessee last year), or they fold like a cheap lawn chair in a stiff breeze. Kansas State showed a little bit of the former after getting stomped at Kansas, beating Nebraska at home and following it up with a win at Iowa State. But then Wally Judge left the team, and the Kansas City Star reported that Curtis Kelly is under investigation by the school and the Wildcats lost at Colorado to fall to 4-6 in conference. If Kansas State is reeling Monday, Kansas could put a serious hurting on the Wildcats and end whatever chance is left for them to make the NCAA Tournament. HEARYE, HEARYE "My name's scrolled across the bottom of the ESPN thing a couple times, too. They'll be fine." — Tyshawn Taylor on how the Wild-cats will handle the negative press No. 1 Jayhawks look to stay on top KANSAS VS.K-STATE 8 p.m., BRAMLAGE COLISEUM, Manhattan KANSAS 24-1, (9-1) STARTERS A. N. Kwame Agyemang Tyshawn Taylor, junior guard Reed Tyshnawn taylar, junior guard Taylor was excellent against the Cyclones - good enough to win my player of the game honors. He had 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting and tallied six assists against just one turnover. It was the second time since December that he's shot better than 50 percent from the field. The other game was Jan. 29... against the Kansas State Wildcats. The Sunflower Sweep ★★★★☆ Morningstar Tyrel Reed, senior guard It's been a pretty safe assumption throughout Tyrel Reed's career that if the Jayhawks need someone to take free throws, he's the guy to do it. But believe it or not, Reed's not shooting the ball particularly well — for him at least — since conference play began. After shooting 93 percent in non-conference, he's shooting a much more human 73 percent in conference play. Brady Morningstar, senior guard Brady Morningstar, senior guard Forget, for a moment, about scoring, which Brady Morningstar has done remarkably well of late, and take some time to appreciate what he does best. In the conference slate, Morningstar has dished out 41 assists against just seven turnovers. That 5.9-to-1 assist to turnover ratio is fifth-best in the country in conference play. Morning-star will start again in place of Josh Selby. ★★★☆ ★★★☆☆ M. C. Morris F. WILLIAMS Marcus Morris, junior forward Marcus Morris, junior for vars Marcus may finally be forced to shoot the ball more with Thomas Robinson not in the lineup. This is great news for Kansas. In 10 games in which he has taken fewer than 10 shots, he's averaged 13.5 points per game. In 15 games in which he's taken 10 or more, he's averaged 19.1 points. It stands to reason that the Jayhawks want their best player to shoot more, particularly when he is as efficient as Marcus is. PETER DAVIS ★★★★★ M. K. Morris Markieff is in the same boat as his brother. No Thomas Robinson means more minutes and more opportunities to shoot. Just like Marcus, Markieff is efficient enough that him shooting more can only mean good things for the Jayhawks offense, which is potent enough as is. Markieff's current five-game streak of double-figure scoring started with a 20-point effort against Kansas State. Markieff Morris, junior forward Tim Dwyer ★★★★★ K-STATE 16-9,(4-6) STARTERS Shane Southwell, freshman guard Southwell's Twitter (K_StateShane) bio reads: "I ATTEND KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY AND A PRO SOON." That's all well and good, but like Saturday's against Colorado (three points, 1-5 FG) won't get him to the pros. In Lawrence, Southwell had zero points in 18 minutes. He needs to focus on tonight's game and his college game before he can look at professional basketball, even Europe. PARKER Southwell ★☆☆☆ nearly insure, suphomore guard McGruder hit a long three-pointer on Saturday that looked like Kansas State was going to sneak out of Bouler, Colo., with a victory. But after the referees reviewed the shot, the ball was still on McGruder's hands. It's been one of those seasons for K-State. Everything goes right for a while, and then all crumbles. The Wildcats are like this season's Longhorns from 2009-2010. However, instead of having a midseason breakdown, the Wildcats have just crumbled from the very beginning. McGruder had 11 points in 34 minutes for the Wildcats on Saturday. Against Kansas on Jan. 29, he had 15 points in 35 minutes. McGruder ★★★☆☆ Jacob Pullen, senior forward TEDDY KENNEDY Pullen is the best player on this team. The Wildcats are facing adversity, like every other team in the country, but theirs has spanned the entire season. A victory against Kansas in Manhattan tonight would do wonders for K-State's resume and the player that will lead the charge is Pullen. Pullen ★★★★★ BABA BABA Jamar Samuels, junior forward Samuels had 13 points for the Wildcats on Saturday night. Against the Jayhawks on Jan.29 he had 10 points. Samuels, Pullen and McGruder accounted for 69.7 percent of K-State's points in Lawrence. Samuels will need a big output, but the team needs more contribution from the bench. Samuels ★★★☆☆ Curtis Kelly, senior forward Curtis Kelly, senior for Ward First Kelly was suspended for accepting more clothes than he paid for. His suspension was for six games and recently there were talks that Kelly was going to be kicked off the team, but after an investigation found no dirt on him, he is allowed to stay on the team. Kelly is a vital part of the frontcourt for Kansas State. If he were let go, he would have been the third Wildcat to leave the team. Kelly will need a big day for K-State to pull the upset. He only had five points for the Wildcats on Saturday. Kelly ★★★☆☆ -Mike Lavieri KSU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Kansas State is coming off a tough 58-56 loss on Saturday to Colorado in Boulder, Colo. The Buffaloes swept the Wildcats for the first time since the 2003-2004 season. Rodney McGruder sank a long three-pointer that set off a celebration from the Wildcats while officials took a look at the monitor to see if the shot counted. After deliberation, McGruder still had the ball on his hand while the clock struck zeros. The loss drops K-State to 4-6 in conference with a large uphill climb to make the NCAA tournament. K-State will need to go at least 4-2 in its last six games to have a chance. But with games against Kansas and Texas, that leaves a very slim margin for error. PLAYER TO WATCH Jacob Pullen There has been so much attention around Pullen this season. At the beginning, he was the leader of the Rolton Pullen QUESTION MARK Will the Wildcats upset the No. 1 team in the nation...again? No. 3 team in the nation. He was suspended three games for taking more clothes than he paid for. He said before conference play started that the Big 12 title goes through Manhattan. He said after a loss to Colorado that made the Wildcats 0-2 in conference that he wouldn't be playing in the postseason unless it's the NCAA tournament. Pullen can score and distribute. He is fourth in the Big 12 Conference with 18 points per game. He will need to put this team on his back the rest of the season if he wants to play in the NCAA tournament. Some of you are reading this before noon, which is when the new AP and Coaches Polls come out. Some are saying Kansas will be the top ranked team in the nation and some are saying Texas. If Kansas is the No.1 team, how fitting is the matchup in Manhattan tonight: Sunflower Showdown, a team facing adversity with players quitting, a team ranked No.1 but with injuries and to top it all off, it's Valentine's Day. Last year, K-State defeated Texas in Manhatton when the Longhorns were the top ranked team in the nation. That loss sent Texas into a tallpin of a season where it finished the season 7-10 and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament. This season is different. K-State doesn't have the personnel to keep up with Kansas. If the first matchup said anything, it spelled Kansas victory. Prediction that isn't from Tim Dwyer: Kansas by 19. HEARYE, HEARYE "That's an up-and-down emotion real fast. You go from thinking you just won the game with a buzer-beater to losing the game."

Kansas stakes itself to an early lead. With the controversies swirling around the Wildcats, they need to be in the game from the start to believe they have a chance to win it. If the Jayhawks take the Wildcats early, just like a few weeks ago in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas will roll to an easy win. THE WILDCATS WILL PREY ON THE JAYHAWKS IF... The team rallies against the negativity surrounding the program. Kansas fell victim to a team that had been upended by off-the-court issues last season at Tennessee, and Kansas State has a chance to make it two years running.Jacob Pullen will need to be better than the last time out, though.

For those unfamiliar with college basketball lingo, the bubble is the term for the conglomerate of teams who could play their way into the NCAA Tournament with a solid final month — or collapse down the stretch and get relegated to the NIT. As a rabid college basketball fan, I enjoy monitoring ESPN.com's weekly Bubble Watch, as the list of teams that bracketologist Joe Lunardi projects to make it into the tournament fluctuates each week. What's more enjoyable, though, is being able to do it atop my high perch, as I have never had to worry about Kansas being on that bubble. While the Jahwahats are not the only premier program in college basketball, they are the only ones who can boast about longevity. The other blue bloods of college basketball have missed the Big Dance at least once during Kansas' streak of 21 straight tournament appearances. The two programs that come closest to challenging Kansas' consistency are Arizona and Duke. The Wildcats appeared in the NCAA Tournament for 25 straight years from 1985 to 2009. But they missed the tournament last season, have not made the Elite Eight since 2005 and last appeared in the Final Four in 2001. Jason A. Burridge Duke has made 15 straight tournament appearances and 26 of the past 27 tournaments, but it had an ugly campaign in 1994-1995, when coach Mike Krzyzewski had to take a leave of absence during the season because of health concerns and the team finished 13-18, missing the tournament. Although the Blue Devils returned to BY GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com the tournament the following year, they weren't much better, losing in the first round and winning only 18 games. Even though the Indiana Hoosiers were a tournament fixture from the late 80s through the 1990s, the team hasn't been quite as fortunate since the turn of the century, missing the tournament in 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010 and, barring a miracle, this year, too. They haven't even made the Sweet Sixteen since 2002. UCLA and its 11 national titles have fared better than the Hoosiers, but it's no longer the prominent power it was under John Wooden in the 60s and 70s. UCLA has made 19 of the past 22 tournaments and appeared in the Final Four from 2006-2008,but couldn't win a national title and missed the tournament two years later for the third time in a decade. At 17-7, the Bruins are back on the bubble again this year. The two final blue bloods are Kentucky and North Carolina. The Wildcats made every tournament from 1992 to 2008, but missed the tournament for the first time in 18 years in 2009. They were absent from the Sweet Sixteen from 2006 to 2009, and last appeared in the Final Four in 1998. The Tar Heels made 32 consecutive tournaments from 1975 to 2001, but then missed the next two tournaments, including an embarrassing 8-20 campaign in THE MORNING BREW 2001-2002. Last year, the team was preseason No. 6, but went 5-11 in ACC Conference play, missed the tournament and dropped out of the rankings in midJanuary. While Kansas has had its share of tournament disappointments, which don't need to be rehashed, the Jayhawks currently own the streak for most active consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances at 21 and counting. The streak likely would date back to 1984, but the Jayhawks were ineligible in 1989 because of NCAA probation. During their current streak, Kansas has claimed the 2008 national title to complement the 1988 title it won two years before the current streak started. They were also the National Runner-Up in 1991 and 2003, and made Final Four appearances in 1993 and 2002. While Carolina owns more Final Four appearances during the past 21 years and Duke has more titles, I'm content with our 21 straight tournament appearances, Mario's Miracle and being unfamiliar with the NIT. This is something none of the other traditional powers can say, which makes me even more grateful to be a Jayhawk. — Edited by Amanda Sorell THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TODAY Running Men's Basketball 体 vs. Kansas State 8:00 p.m. at Manhattan Women's Golf Texas State University Claud Jacobs Challenge All Day at Victoria, Texas TUESDAY 火 Football Williams Educational Fund Football in February 6:00 PM Topeka Ramada WEDNESDAY There are no events scheduled.

WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 10A KU'S NUMBER ONE Players disagree on the importance of No.1 ranking BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com The argument for each team is an easy one. Ohio State has one loss on the road at a top-15 opponent. Kansas' one loss was to the now-No. 3 team in the country. Texas lost a few in a brutal non-conference schedule, but won at Allen Fieldhouse, which Jayhawk fans know is mighty difficult. Don't tell Marcus Morris that, though. tell Marcia that "There's been a lot of talk that they might put Texas at No. 1," he said, "but I can't see how." sad, but PETE will Junior forward Marcus Morris wants it bad. Tyshawn Taylor doesn't really care. But the No. 1 ranking in the country is not subject to the whims of those who may hold it, and it will go to whatever team the sportswriters and coaches dearest worth. deem worries: "I want to be ranked No. 1." Morris said, after a few minutes of Taylor saying how it didn't matter. "I've been waiting for him to ask me that." Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor cited last year's early March exit as proof that being No. 1 — like the Jayhawks were for 14 of 18 weeks in the regular season — doesn't mean much at all. much at all. "We were No. 1 all last year," he said, "and we've got nothing to show for it." Morris says with No. 1 comes a target and he thinks the Jayhawks are ready for it. They may find out soon after getting their ranking. "I want to have that chip on our shoulder every time we go out. I want to get everybody's best shot," The polls are released Monday afternoon, and the Jayhawks play the second leg of the Sunflower Show down the bottom of the ESPN thing, too," Taylor said, referencing his own off-court troubles last year. "They'll be fine." But while Morris is preoccupied with wanting to have a top rank to guard, coach Bill Self said he doesn't want to worry about defending a No.1 ranking. "We were No.1 all last year and we've got nothing to show for it." "I think it's almost a defensive mode trying to hang on some at 8 p.m. Monday in Manhattan. Kansas State is in the midst of a debacle of a season. After beginning the year ranked preseason No. 3, the Wildcats have fallen out of the rankings and into a number of eve-catching headlines. The latest from Manhattan is the departure of forward Wally Judge and a Kansas City Star report that forward Curtis Kelly is under investigation by the school. "My name's scrolled across TYSHAWN TAYLOR Junior guard thing," Self said. "We need to be in attack mode no matter what." Self's argument is backed up by the fact that Kansas has played its best basketball of the season since it has been chasing Texas for the conference lead. Give the layhawks something to chase, and they can do an awful lot of winning. "Being No. 1, being No. 2, being No. 3, it doesn't really matter," Taylor said. "At the end of the day, we're not going to go home sad." — Edited by Sean Tokarz KANSAS 10 Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor puts up a shot from beyond the arc Saturday against Iowa State. Taylor scored 14 points in the Jayhawk 89-66 victory. COMMENTARY Jeff Withey should use his height to aid team in Robinson's absence BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Not long ago, Jeff Withey could practically take a nap on the bench and get away with it. Bill Self had other things to fume over. With the Morris twins forcing scouts to salivate and Thomas Robinson slam-dunking so fiercely that the ball often splintered the hardwood on its way down. Withey sat comfortably on the bench. The Morrira are still inspiring Pavlovian effects, but Robinson tore the meniscus in his right knee on a dunk against Missouri and will miss about two weeks. So during Saturday's 89-66 victory against Iowa State, Self entered Withey into the equation and the seven-footer fit the part. In nine minutes played, he finished with eight points, connecting on all three-shot attempts and two free throws, two rebounds, two blocks and a steal. He did look goofy out there, though I doubt even double-doubles could shed that trait. He seemed nervous, too. On the court, he was hesitant, occasionally shying away from attacking the Cyclones instead of dictating with his size. ference, joined by media jesters Marcus Morris and Tyshawn Taylor, Withey shook slightly in his mammoth-sized shoes. After Withey shared brief and quiet words on his playing time, Morris and Taylor dominated the rest with their usual hilarity. POLICE Withey tried responding to a later question, squeaking out a soft syllable or two, but was quickly beat to it by Morris. He just backed down and let his more upspoken teammate, who didn't even notice Withey's attempt, take it away. But no one is asking Jeff At the post-game press con- Withey to develop a Taylor- or Morris-like demeanor. No one is asking him to dunk ferociously and then find the camera with two clenched fists. He simply needs to use his in the middle and swat a shot here and there. "Nobody's going to be able to get in there and take a layup," Morris said. "He's so long and he has great timing." The last time Withey received this much playing time, he fouled out and surrendered two turnovers against UMKC in 14 minutes played. Even though Withey's expanded role is more by necessity than it is by desire or readiness, it's still nice to see Self strip the leash off the big puppy. KANSAS 5 Most, if not all of the student section agrees. When Withey converted on a turnaround hook shot that was within arm's reach of the hoop, Allen Fieldhouse bursted. Simply put, we want to see Withey succeed. Come to think of it, they're used to be another huge white guy, this one from Bloomington, Minn., who never played when he first became a Jayhawk. Cole Aldrich waited patiently for his time to come. By the time Withey arrived in Lawrence, Aldrich and Sherron Collins ruled the Fieldhouse. This team doesn't need another ruler, but it does need a serviceable stop-gap. The fact that fans just love the guy could be considered an added bonus. Jeff Withey, nap time is over. first became a Jayhawk.

Hull I could out there for my team." Freshman pitcher Kristin Martinez made her first collegiate start "Kristen was a huge bright spot for us," Smith said. "She came in and was absolutely fearless." against Jacksonville. She shew all seven innings striking out six batters and walking two. The Kansas defense appeared in senior catcher Brittany Hile's play from behind home plate. During Sunday's game against Buffalo, the Bulls' batter lay down a sacrifice bunt with a runner on first. Hile's quick reaction to the ball sent it flying across the field to sophomore infielder Mariah Montgomery in time to pick off R. Hull Pengliu Ying the runner and get the out. The Hull twins were producing plenty of power for the Kansas offense over the weekend. During Friday's game against Buffalo, sophomore outfielder Maggie Hull hit a grand slam over the left field wall to bring in three runs for the Jayhawks. "For me a grand slam is just as good as getting the bunt signal and laying it down or getting a walk," Maggie said. "I am just happy to help my team out in any way." Sophomore outfielder Roste Hull used her speed in slapping to earn her two hits and batted in two runs in Sunday's Buffalo game. At the top of the seventh she hit a single to the right side of the infield and batted in her sister Maggie as well as Cullum. "I was PETER TAYLOR Maggie said when Cull u m was up to hit, she knew Smith would give her the "hit away sign." Ingle freaking out in the dug out; I was jumping up and down," Maggie said. "I was so excited because I knew that she was going to get the job done". The team will be spending a few days in Lawrence to prepare for their next trip to Deland, Fla., for the Stetson Hatter Invitational. "We are going to refocus and approach next weekend like it is opening weekend again," Smith said. "We can't get too excited about 5-0, we've got to get back to work."

SUNFLOWER SHOCKER KANSAS FALLS TO K-STATE, 84-68 MEN'S BASKETBALL | PAGE 10A REWIND | PAGE 6A&7A THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 94 WORLD Egypt's revolution fueled by the 'kids' BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com This is not a tremor, it's an earthquake. This is not "just" a movement, or "just" a popular uprising. It's a revolution, and it's world history, made by the young. That's the view of Mohamed El-Hoderi, professor of economics, who was born in Egypt long before this revolution, in 1937. El-Hoderi spoke to about 50 students, faculty and Lawrencians Monday night at the Lawrence Public Library, competing, he admitted, with both Valentine's Day and the men's basketball game against Kansas State. But the audience was attentive, spending more than an hour asking questions, fascinated by the revolution — the 18 days of protest in Egypt that ended 30 years of rule by the now-former President Hosni Mubarak, who stepped down Feb. 11. The event was organized in just a few days by El-Hoderi, Josh Anderson, a senior from Perry, and Marwa Ghazali, a doctoral candidate with family in Egypt. Ghazali said she planned to organize another similar event, this time on campus, in the coming week. El-Hoderi's Monday night question and answer session was, perhaps fittingly, publicized only through e-mail and social media. "We knew we had to act fast, if we missed out on the interest in the revolution, we'd regret it," Ghazali said. El-Hoderi spoke energetically, proudly even, of "the kids" — the thousands who flooded Cairo's Tahrir Square with the aim of removing Mubarak from power beginning Jan. 25. This revolution he said, is historic in that its participants bridged sociological divides such as class and religion. But it was "the kids," he said, who sparked the dramatic organization of the past few weeks. It was "the kids" who represented the sentiment of 82 million people from "every corner of Egypt," but who were socially and technologically connected enough to "spark the kindling." "This wasn't out-of-the-blue," he said, "but the kids, what they did to start this was they killed the fear." And they organized. "This is the Facebook revolution," El-Hoderi said. The status quo was taken down by thousands of protesters — and perhaps millions upon millions of Facebook statuses and tweets. The cheap availability of the internet as a tool for organization is reverberating across North Africa and the Middle East, El-Hoderi said, and after such highly-seen protests in Egypt and in Tunsia, with more cropping up in Iran, Bahrain and Yemen, only more will come. "It's a medium you cannot shut down, once information goes viral, change happens," he said. I'll just use the image content. The text is not clearly visible in the provided image. Therefore, I cannot provide a transcription or any analysis of it. Chris Bronson/KANSAN Robert Halloran, a sophomore from Lawrence, said recent events in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East were interesting to college students thousands of miles away partially because of this connection to the "youth movement" that's leading the charge. But Halloran, who studies Arabic and the politics of North Africa, said even he was surprised by one thing El-Hoderi mentioned the idea of "an American ethos of the anti-Muba- - the idea of "an American ethos of democracy" within the anti-Mubarak movement. KU faculty member of the Center for Global and International Studies, Mohamed E-Hoderi, lectures on the issues in Egypt Tuesday night at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont. "Here's 82 million people who want to see what they see in the El-Hoderi, who has lived in many places across the world and visits Egypt once per year, spoke of huge economic concerns now facing the country and the worries that the military, which has now taken power, will keep its promises. But, he said, the movement is still powerful and, despite what he says many in the media say, powerfully democratic. blew me away." "It's not an Islamic revolution, it's a people's revolution from some people who respect Islam," he said. "People stood up and said, 'I want to determine my future.'"

This spring they will have to adjust once more. The KU Parking Department will remove various mo-ped parking stalls that often go unused throughout the school week. Mo-ped stalls were created last year by splitting parking spots into two separate spots. Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said in an e-mail that the department first noticed in November that the stalls in lot 90, west of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center and Lot 72, in front of the Burge Union were never used and then removed to make more space for cars. Hultine said for the most part that she has heard little reaction from the moe-pe community. Initially, the department created 262 mo-ped stalls out of 112 car parking spaces and once the reduction is finished, 56 car parking spaces will be recreated. For the 113 students like Daniel Goldschmidt, a senior from New Hope, Minn., who bought mo-ped parking permits this year, all the changes are frustrating. "I was disappointed, I feel like we (mo-ped drivers) are a lot like bicycles and they can do pretty much whatever they want," Goldschmidt said of last fall's changes. Goldschmidt admits that a lot of mo-ped parking stalls go unused on campus, however, one spot selected for removal will affect his schedule. "As a music therapy major, I spend a lot of my time in Murphy Hall and they are getting rid of a spot next to the Military Science Building (east of Murphy Hall),"Goldschmidt said. "Now I will have to find a new place to park." Hultine said students who drive cars were the most vocal about problems with parking. "Some folks complained about lot 90 because it was a shaded area and they liked to park their cars there," Hultine said. "Others in different areas complained in general because we removed car stalls." Though many mo-ped spots were being removed, Hultine said, the department does listen to where mo-ped drivers want to park. "We've had requests to add mo-ped parking in the scholarship hall area, on west campus, and near Learned Hall so we'll be looking for locations to add some back." Hultine said.

ADMINISTRATION Policy lengthens GTA time limit BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com For years,graduate students put serious pressure on the administration to change the policy determining the length of time a student may serve as a graduate teaching assistant. Jake Rapp, a doctoral student from Lawrence, said the previous policy hindered students that completed both their master's and doctorate degrees at the University. The original policy put a 10-semester limit on the time a student could serve as a GTA 激 In an effort to fix that problem, University officials recently approved an update to the policy allowing a 12-semester limit on GTA appointments.

LOCAL Jefferson's still dark and still in the red Almost a week after Jefferson's restaurant was shut down, the bright red "SEIZED" signs still hang on the windows. The restaurant owed nearly $47,000 in taxes to the state, and owner Jason Franklin said he had expected the restaurant to be open again by last Thursday or Friday. However, the restaurant is still dark. Jeannine Koranda, public information officer at the Kansas Department of Revenue, said the restaurant's fate is still in the air. "It's a case-to-case thing on how that particular business is working with the department," Koranda said. "So it's not like if they haven't come up with the money in three days they're shut down." Koranda also said if the business can't come up with the money, eventually the assets will go to a public auction. There, the highest bidder will buy the assets, and whatever amount the bidder pays will go to the state to pay back what Jefferson's owes. Back what SENERS left? But Jefferson's lovers shouldn't get themselves down. Vermont Street BBQ, previously located at 728 Massachusetts, closed in September 2009 and is looking to re-open. Shimomura's work brings dark history to light A representative at the city clerk's office said Brann stopped by to pick up an application to reinstate the restaurant, but no one had filed the papers yet. The Lawrence Journal-World reported last week that Vermont Street BBQ's former owner, Chris Brann, said he hopes the restaurant will be open again for March Madness, and that the location will definitely be somewhere on Massachusetts street. —By Laura Sather Exhibit attendees view "Shimomura Crossing the Delaware" by Roger Shimomura Travis Young/WA BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com mrothman@kansan.com It's easy to forget a barbed wire barrier when you weren't behind it. Roger Shimomura, his family and more than 120,000 other Japanese were. Shimomura never forgot. "Government," he said, "has a very,very short memory." "We're looking at something 16. Shimomura unveiled "Shadows of Minidoka" Friday night at the Lawrence Arts Center to a bustling crowd of wine sippers, art aficionados and passersby. The two-room gallery, which will be open to the public until March 12, features Shimomura's acrylic paintings and collected artifacts. The works reflect on and resurface the two years he spent at an internment camp for Japanese Americans in Minidoka, Idaho during the second World War. more than paying lip-service to diversity and history," said Carol Ann Carter, professor of painting and former colleague of Shimomura. The paintings rely on recurring symbols to imprint their meaning and ensure that the viewer refamiliarizes oneself with this American tragedy. "Shadow of the Enemy" depicts the silhouette of a pigtailed young girl skipping rope — the atypical villain. In most pieces, no matter the mood, barbed wire dangles around the exterior. "The proliferation of barbed wire represents the confluence of symbolic confinement as well as actual confinement," Shimomura said. "People are not free to live their lives as America promises is their nationalistic right." Ben Ahlvers, exhibitions director of the Lawrence Arts Center who installed the art, cited the artifacts as "the cornerstone" of the exhibition. the most gripping evidence of injustice lies within the room of artifacts. Among other items, propaganda, government orders, newspaper clippings, camp artwork and letters on the gallerv's walls tell the story of the prisoners' plight. the exhortation. "The conglomeration of all of those parts make for a personal connection," he said. conNECTED Richard Thomas Barkosky, Haskell University freshman of Tucscon, AZ, was a youthful outlier in the mostly middle-aged gathering. "It reminds me of comic books," Barkosky said of the acrylic works. "It's cartoony." Though the lucid style of painting may oddly juxtapose such austere subjects, Shimomura is able to remove personal influence from his art. "The anger, pain and frustration," he said, "stops when I decide what I are going to paint." NEED ANOTHER COURSE?

Jeffrey Vitter, provost and executive vice chancellor, approved the update on Dec. 10 and the new policy will take effect in the fall. Graduate students felt the old policy — established in 1998 — did not adhere to every department and even discouraged students from obtaining both their master's and doctoral degrees at the University. Kelly Kirkpatrick, a doctoral candidate and graduate affairs director from Ellinwood, said it can take longer when you are getting multiple degrees. "Different research at different places can take different amounts of time," Kirkpatrick said. "So it's nice that this rule will allow the flexibility to take those sorts of things into consideration." Danny Anderson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the graduate students and departments in the Humanities and in the Social and Behavioral Sciences often discovered that the single set of guidelines did not easily align with other fields. "This option provides flexibility across all departments," he said. "These multiple options align with the reality of different paths to graduate degrees." Stuart Day, chair of the Spanish and Portuguese department and associate professor, said a way to assist graduate students throughout master's and doctoral programs efficiently is by offering "financial support packages" in the form of GTA positions. Rapp said the transition from GTA to instructor complicated things such as health insurance and abolished student amenities such as recreation center access. "It was putting a lot of paperwork and undue stress at this moment when students are writing dissertations or putting out job applications," Rapp said. The extra two semesters of support, Day said, enables the University and individual departments to properly support students. "This is crucial because they are the backbone of our teaching program," Day said. "Without them, we would not be able to serve the needs of hundreds of undergraduate students each semester." The fight for this change goes back several years. Kirkpatrick said the Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition fought hard to get the 10-semester rule invoked, to no avail, about five to seven years ago. Rapp said last spring he circulated a petition within the Spanish and Portuguese department where it is not uncommon for students to simultaneously pursue both degrees. The long awaited and much needed change, officials say, will have nothing but positive implications. "This will impact the way departments spend their money, students have access to appointments." Rapp said. "I think the graduate students themselves will have more options because they will be able to more confidently be at KU for both the master's and Ph.D. without worrying about losing funding at a critical moment." Anderson said it also helps the university retain "top graduate students" who serve as GTAs and are preparing to become future faculty members and researchers. "It keeps KU graduate programs competitive for top students while still encouraging timely completion of degrees and addressing concerns voiced by GTAs themselves," Anderson said. kapp and Kirkpatrick said not many graduate students know about the change but because it affects them in so many aspects, they need to be aware it. - Edited by Danielle Packer CAMPUS Lecture analyzes Hitchcock REBECCA • HOW A DOUBT BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Film critic David Thompson presenting Hitchcock's "Tales of Terror" at Kansas Union Feb. 14, 2011 Artem Bagiev/KANSAN 14.2011 A 19-year-old film student in London, David Thomson knew next to nothing of what he was about to witness. It was the premiere of 1960's "Psycho" and Alfred Hitchcock did not publicize his film. Thomson, like the rest, sympathized with Marion for the film's first forty minutes. Then Hitchcock killed her off. "After the shower sequence, I said to myself, 'Oh, please don't do that to me again.' Thomson said. "I knew that once he'd done it, he was going to do it again—the bastard." Thomson, a London-born film critic who lives in San Francisco, presented "The Hitchcock Moments: Psycho and Other Tales of Terror" for Monday night's Film and Media Aesthetics class at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Thomson presented different film sequences from Hitchcock's "Rebecca", "Shadow of A Doubt", "Notorious", "Rear Window", vertigo"; "North By Northwest" and "Psycho". After each clip, Thomson scurried back to his podium and provided historical context and analysis of craft. Continuing with conjunctions and a steady, measured voice, the clips and Thomson's corresponding information flowed as one. "He wanted to have power over the audience," Thomson said of Hitchcock, "so they forgot where they were." During the clip from "North By Northwest", actor Jimmy Stewart avoids an aircraft hunting for his head. The suspense builds as the aircraft's motor buzzes. Stewart ducks as the aircraft zooms right over him and swerves within the frame. "You give Hitchcock a single figure on a flat plane," Thomson said, "and look what he can build it into." Edited by Sean Tokarz LAWRENCE Bobcat carcass seen on Bob Billings is now missing BY CHRIS HONG chong@kansan.com On the eve of the Jayhawks game against Kansas State, a different type of wildcat made headlines in Lawrence. On Sunday night, the Lawrence Journal-World first reported that a dead wildcat was found on the 2200 block of Bob Billings Parkway. However, despite rumors of mountain lions living in Lawrence, the animal found Sunday was not a cougar. Matt Peek, wildlife research biologist for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, said officials at the Lawrence Police Department told him the animal was a bobcat. Peek said that bobcats live in every county in Kansas. "It's not unusual for a bobcat to Peek said that people in Lawrence have sent him pictures of bobcats in the area and he does not consider this an unusual event. He also said it's not unusual for people to mistake a bobcat for the much larger cougar. "This is fairly typical. A story get run over," Peek said. "There are bobcats throughout much of Lawrence, at least around the edges" While Peek said a source in the Lawrence Police Department confirmed the animal's identity, multiple city officials do not know who retrieved the animal nor where the carcass currently is. (that) involves bobcats get blown out of proportion," he said. Sgt. Matt Sarna, public affairs for the Lawrence Police Department, said the police department does not have the carcass. He said Lawrence sanitation officials were called to the scene, and an officer removed the animal from the road and onto the median. Craig Pruett, operations supervisor at Lawrence Public Works, said sanitation workers responded to the scene Monday morning, but by the time they arrived the animal was gone. According to the Cougar network (www.cougarnet.org), a nonprofit organization that studies cougars, the last reported sighting in Kansas was in Nemaha County on Dec. 7, 2010. A Kansas Department of Wildlife release stated that biologists confirmed the legitimacy of the photos and officially confirmed the sighting. Nemaha is located about 90 miles northwest of Lawrence. — Edited by Jacque Weber KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Home housing SALE for sale announcements ... 785-864-4358 Megafone jobs ANNOUNCEMENTS PLAY SPORTS!

POLITICS Remember Reagan for all his actions, including flaws Last week I was treated to Fox News' celebration of Ronald Reagan's one hundredth birthday, an event that many gave startling significance considering the man has been dead for quite some time now. This joyous celebration of the legacy of a man who has been heralded by many as a conservative icon and hero brings forth the question of whether Reagan actually was the living embodiment of pure conservative values, or if perhaps his memory has become romanticized at the expense of historical accuracy. If you want a solid example of modern conservative policies that are prevalent in the current political climate, just turn on the television. In recent years, the rallying cry of the Republican Party has been to reduce spending and use tax cuts as a primary method of stimulating economic growth, all the while limiting the scope of government control and state-run institutions. Ronald Reagan has been elevated to an almost god-like status among many conservative Republicans, which is especially puzzling when you realize that many of his actions would find little support from the modern conservatives of today. PETER HOWELL For many conservative politicians, by SPENCER DAVIDSON sdavidson@kansan.com the inspiration for this political and economic philosophy comes from Ronald Reagan, the model of ideal fiscal responsibility and champion of traditional conservative values. But this simple and idealistic view is not only inaccurate; it is also a disservice to Reagan's presidency and political legacy. Now I'm not trying to make a statement here about whether Ronald Reagan was a good or bad president. I was less than a year old when he left office, so my memory isn't exactly keen when it comes to recalling my opinions of his job performance at the time. But when you look back on some of the policies he enacted during his term, they wouldn't remotely resemble the political goals of many conservatives today. After large tax cuts in 1981, he enacted tax increases and also increased tax rates for the rich, both of which would be considered political blasphemy among most right-wing politicians today. And in terms of the Republican mandate to cut costs, Reagan actually increased the national debt during his term with higher defense spending because of Cold War anxieties. If you compare this track record with the dogma of the current GOP, it makes you wonder if the man would even have a chance of being elected today. Historians and political pundits could argue all day whether these policies were effective in the grand scheme of things, but that's not the point here. The effectiveness of Reagan's policies are irrelevant today because many who derive inspiration from the former president don't seem to remember him as merely that: a president whose actions were simultaneously praised and criticized by many on both sides of the political spectrum. Reagan has been lifted into the echelons of legend and lore, where he has been sculpted into the embodiment of an entire political ideology. He has been made into a hero not because of what he actually did while in office, but for the simple reason that we as human beings need heroes. Many members of the GOP aren't referring to the real Ronald Reagan when they praise the former president; they are worshipping the mythical hero they have created for themselves as a basis for their political motivations. There's nothing inherently wrong in remembering a particular leader with fondness and admiration, but it's more important to remember them for what they actually were and for what they actually did. When we idolize a political figure to the point that we perceive them to be an epitome of an entire collective philosophy, we ignore the historical context of their public service and the lessons to be learned from their time in office. If we remember Ronald Reagan as a flawless beacon of perfection, we rob ourselves of an accurate view of history and we taint his memory with our own political motivations. To truly honor him, we should remember Ronald Reagan not as a sort of demigod, but for whom he really was: a leader who was controversial and a man who was essentially human. SOCIAL MEDIA POLITICS Davidson is a senior from Linwood in secondary English education. Is social media good for democracy? Yes! There's a reason oppressive governments often try to censor the Internet and social media: These mechanisms are catalysts for change. In the past, the government in power of any given country had the advantage of an organizational structure already in place that could facilitate communication, something that was more difficult for revolutionaries and opposing political forces to develop. The advancements of social media, however, have assisted revolutionaries in communication and mobilization by creating the very structure they had lacked. Social media is the ammunition of a peaceful revolution. It provides a source of information as well as a venue for collaboration. Facebook and Twitter are the most effective tools in today's media-driven society for spreading ideas informally, especially among your+ This was particularly evident in Egypt, where it was widely known that the youth were driving the revolt. Frustrated young people took to their computers to spread messages of freedom and change. The Egyptian revolution clearly would not have been where it is today without social media, especially given this involvement of youth. BY KELLY COSBY kcosbv@kansan.com No! Not only in Egypt, but also in changing countries like Tunisia, Iran and even Sudan, social media has been valuable in current political changes. Pro-democracy speakers use these tools to reinforce political rhetoric and develop a foundation of support. Not only does it help organization, but it also helps get the word out internationally on what exactly is going on. This can drive international support. Obviously a desire for democracy has to be present in order for a revolution to occur, but it is clear that social media is a large proponent of organizational revolution in favor of democratic governance. Cosby is a junior from Overland Park majoring in political science and English. On January 28th Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak ordered all Internet providers to shut down their services within the country. While the rest of the world was using the hashtag #Egypt on Twitter and watching Youtube videos of protestors throwing Molotov cocktails at each other, Egyptians themselves were experiencing an internet blackout. That's the problem with social media during mass political movements. Those that are being protested against still have the ability to pull the plug. And it wasn't just Egyptians that suffered. As The New York Times reports, Chinese officials, worried that their citizens too would revolt against authoritarianism, blocked Internet users from searching for "Egypt" on the Chinese equivalents of Google and Twitter. This manipulation of social media by all-too powerful governments is not new. Stalin pushed his propaganda on television sets across the Soviet Union, and the Nazis filled radio slots with their hateful rhetoric. Call me a pessimist, but I don't understand why political thinkers still don't get that it's not technology that leads people to rebel. Even if corrupt governments, such as Egypt's and China's, didn't shut down social media services during CAROLYN GRAY BY MEGAN ADAMS madams@kansan.com protests they still would not be an engine for change. Malcolm Gladwell, a best-selling author on social trends, explains in The New Yorker, "The platforms of social media are built around weak ties ... But weak ties seldom lead to high-risk activism." In other words, most of us have never actually met the majority of our Facebook friends or Twitter followers. If one of these strangers asked you to storm Mass. Street in protest, potentially putting yourself in danger, would you go? I didn't think so. Unfortunately, it's going to take more than just a tweet or a Facebook status to topple an oppressive regime. Hopefully I will be proven wrong one day.

QUEER CULTURE Gay bars have important significance in LGBT culture Fellow queers, let's stop lying to ourselves. We love going out to the clubs and bars. We love everything about them, from the half-naked shot boys and shot girls and skanky go-go dancers, to the creepy stares and lesbian drama. It's the best night of the week, and you know it. DONATIA D. HENRY There seems to be this stigma in the queer community that going out to bars is "bad" because they're "too" gay — whatever that means — and the people who go every week are just "typical faggots" and to be them would somehow lower our social status, as if we're some If there's one line I'll never stop hearing, it's," I don't even like going out." Right. And then I catch you grinding on center stage, just between all the other regulars and their gumbo-breasted side-kicks. Why do we pretend to detest it so much? BY JAMES CASTLE icastle@kansan.com well-respected subculture in America. What many people don't realize is that bars have a historical relevance to the queer community, particularly in American culture. From the post-World War II era on — when gays and lesbians of all ages were confused and had no resources, no way of understanding these new, complex thoughts and feelings, no family to turn to and no friends they could trust — out of fear of being well-respected subculture in America. disowned or persecuted, where do you think they turned? Yes, that's right. They were meandering down to the local butch and femme pubs and drag bars in the slummy neighborhoods of New York City, places where they could express their affections freely and openly and meet other "deviants" and "freaks" who make them feel comfortable and welcome. Sure, it was also a place to go and drink a little and have fun, but more importantly, gay bars were somewhere latter-twentieth-century queers could go to find some sense of stability and happiness in this crazy, messed-up world. This certainly holds true to the present. Today, most gay bars are still slummy, and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I like to think of it as tradition. I mean, what would a gay bar be without "missing" stall doors, illegal party lights, It's important to understand that gay and lesbian bars are an important part of our subculture, that they have a great historical significance. When we feel we have nowhere left to go, when we feel depressed and alone because of bullying and the oppression of an intolerant, heterosexual society, we are always welcome at our humble, hole-in-the-wall tavern. lack of noticeable safe exits and drinks mixed beyond regulation-strength? It wouldn't be a quality gay bar, that's what. There is something about the obnoxious back-beats and awkward remixes of Gaga and Beyoncé, accompanied by second-hand smoke, faux hawks and stilettos, that brings a sense of well-being to the soul.

Marcus Morris earns third Big 12 award Marcus Morris was named Big 12 Player of the Week for last week, matching Texas' Jordan Hamilton as the only players to win the award three times this season. Not coincidentally, these two are considered the favorites for the Big 12 Player of the Year award. Morris won the award after pouring in an efficient 22 points —17 in the second half — against Missouri on Monday and tallying a double-double (16 points, 11 rebounds) five days later against Iowa State. Morris shot 67 percent from the field over the last two games, which, remarkably, was down from his 68 percent clip over the last five. 1 FREE SMOOTHIE WHEN YOU PURCHASE 2 SMOOTHIES WITH THE MENTION OF THIS AD got spring break pla JUICE STOP | DOWNTOWN | 2 Tim Dwyer KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2011 / SPORTS / NO.1 KANSAS 68 BALLREWIND Jerry Wang/KANSAN Kansas State fans stormed the court following Monday night's victory over the Kansas Jayhawks. The Wildcats took the lead from the beginning of the game and handed Kansas its second loss of the season. K-State guard Jacob Pullen led the team with 38 points, including 15 points at the free-throw line in the 84-68 loss at Bramlage Coliseum. Pullen pulls no punches in upset BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com This was a Kansas State team that was supposed to be No. 3 in the nation. This was a Wildcat team that was supposed to contend for the Big 12 title. Sitting at 4-6 coming into the game, it seemed like all signs pointed anywhere but the NCAA tournament. But Kansas State found a way to defeat No. 1 Kansas 84-68 after a heartbreaking loss to Colorado on Saturday. Before conference play started, senior guard Jacob Pullen said the Big 12 title comes through Manhattan, only to say two games later after quickly falling to 0-2 that he would not be playing in the NIT if that was the Wildcats' destiny. On Monday night, Pullen was clutch. He scored 38 points, the most against a top ranked team since Antwan Jamison scored 35 points in No. 2 North Carolina's victory against No. 1 Duke 97-73 on Feb. 5, 1998. Kansas had no answer for Pullen, who put the Wildcats on his back. Pullen had an opportunity to score 40, but he ran the clock down instead. "Pullen is class all the way." Kansas Coach Bill Self said. Kansas State coach Frank Martin said that this team is definitely a tournament team. Pullen, on the other hand, didn't know. "I don't work with bracketologists." Pullen said. "I don't know what they'll say in the meeting. They might say that this is a fluke. You never know. We have to continue to win games. We have to find a way to win on the road, we have to find a way to win at home." Pullen is focused on Saturday's home game against Oklahoma. He said the Wildcats defeated No. 1 Texas last season and then relaxed in its next game losing to Oklahoma State 73-69 at home. The last time Pullen and the Wildcats defeated Kansas was Jan 30, 2008 when Kansas State was ranked 24th and the Jayhawks were ranked second. That night was also the last time Wildcat fans stormed the court. On that night Jacob Pullen, Michael Beasley and Bill Walker took a position above fans on the scorer's table. Tonight, Pullen assumed that same position. "We just saw them anticipating running on the court," Pullen said. "At the four minute mark we could see them running to the stairs, getting in position. That energy continues into our huddle." Pullen said he was dreaming about this game before he went to bed Sunday night. "This has been something on my mind along time," Pullen said. "I wanted to make sure we won this game." Pullen said that this was a game that the team felt like they needed to win. Martin knows that this team has lost games, but knows that this team has won games. He said the Wildcats have played difficult teams on its schedule even though it sits at 5-6 in conference. "If the tournament ended yesterday we should be a NCAA team and after today we're definitely a NCAA team," Martin said. "But unfortunately they're not passing out the bids tomorrow." Self doesn't care what anybody says, he says the Wildcats are a tournament team and they are getting into the tournament. "The way that they lost on Saturday and bounce back tonight, that's pretty good coaching," Self said. — Edited by Danielle Packer Game to remember Jacob Pullen M. B. ABUOYE Pullen had his best game as a Wildcat, plain and simple. His 38 points were the most against a top-ranked team since 1968, and he basically single-handedly clinched the Wildcats an NCAA Tournament berth, barring a brutal late-season collapse. He Pullen said after the game that he didn't look at bracket projections, but he knows in the back of his mind that this was a big one. Game to forget Tyshawn Taylor Taylor was awful Monday night. He was crucial in the Jayhawks' 90-66 stomping of Kansas State at home, but he played the opposite role in Manhattan. Taylor turned the ball over six times against just one assist and was Tyshawn Taylor's primary victim all night long. Honorable mention to Markieff Taylor Morris, the leading rebounder in the Big 12, who failed to pull down a single rebound.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2011 / SPORTS 9A QUOTE OF THE DAY "Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team." — Scottie Pippen, thinkexist.com FACT OF THE DAY Jacob Pullen's 38 points on Monday night were the most scored by a Kansas opponent since Michael Beasley, also from K-State, scored 39 on March 1.2008. kuathletics.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many times has Kansas been ranked No.1 in the Bill Self Era? A:19 times -kuathletics.com MORNING BREW Students should storm with class Rushing the court or field after a huge upset is one of the coolest things to see in college sports. That is what we saw on Saturday when then-No. 14 Wisconsin gave then-No. 1 Ohio State its first loss of the season at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisc. Moments after the Badgers won, fans, the majority being students, filled the court creating a sea of red. When an underdog upsets the top-ranked team in the nation, emotions almost always run high. But that doesn't mean fans should be disrespectful toward the players or each other. After Saturday's upset, Buckeye freshman center Jared Sullinger tweeted that a Badger fan spit in his face. In response, Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan defended Badger fans while Ohio State coach Thad Matta said kids will be kids. During the Big Ten's teleconference Ryan said that he reviewed video cameras, but couldn't find an evidence of any spit flying toward Sullinger. If what Sullinger says happens to be true, that reflects poorly on the University of Wisconsin. If you recall, Jayhawk fans had the chance to storm the football field in week two of the football season after Kansas defeated No. 15 Georgia Tech 28-25 on Sep. 10, a week BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com after a 6-3 loss to North Dakota State. I hardly regret anything, but that was one thing I wish I had stayed for. I left the game early, which was an obvious mistake, only to see friends rushing the field and mobbing Turner Gill during the post game interview. Jayhawk fans looked very respectful toward Georgia Tech and its players and were just having fun, like most fans do when they rush the court or the field. THE MORNING BREW But one especially classy move by fans happened 74 miles west of Lawrence in Manhattan. On Jan.18, the No.9 ranked Wildcats defeated the No.1 ranked Longhorns 71-62. Kansas State fans didn't rush the court and moments before the game was over they started chanting. "Don't rush the court." A huge win for both the players and fans, if you ask me. The last time Wildcat fans rushed the court was when No. 24 K-State defeated No. 2 Kansas 84-75 on Jan. 30, 2008. Kansas fans will probably never have to worry about rushing Allen Fieldhouse because of how much success it has had and its consistent ranks in the top of the polls. But there’s no reason to rush as long as the Jayhawks are No.1 in the home of the brave.

WWW.KANSAN.COM KANSAS STATE 84, NO.1 KANSAS 68 ONE,THEN DONE PAGE 10A m Senior guard Tyrel Reed and Kansas State guard Rodney McGruder chase after a loose ball during the first half. Reed led the team with 14 points and dished out a team-high four assists in the 84-68 loss at Bramlage Coliseum BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball Two weeks ago, Tyshawn Taylor thoroughly outplayed Jacob Pullen in Allen Fieldhouse and the Jayhawks won 90-66. Yesterday, Jacob Pullen thoroughly outplayed Tyshawn Taylor in Bramlage Coliseum and the Wildcats won 84-68. "Let's just call it like it is," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "That was a beatdown." Taylor had what was possibly his worst game as a Jayhawk, Pullen certainly his best as a Wildcat, and the difference in point guard play was a huge part of the story as Kansas State toppled a No.1 team on its home floor for the second year in a row. year in a row. "No. 1 ranking?" Self asked incredulously. "After watching that? Jeez. We may fall out of the polls next week." Taylor turned the ball over six times against just one assist and got worked over time and again by Pullen on the defensive side of the floor. Pullen finished with a career-high 38 points and five assists in the victory. The 38 points was the most one player has scored against a top-ranked team since 1968. "From a positive standpoint," Self said, "We held them to 46 points if you take Jacob out of the equation." But one player doesn't win a game, and neither does one lose it. Both Pullen and Taylor had help (if you can call it that for Taylor) from teammates. teammates. The leading rebounder in the Big 12, Markieff Morris, had all of zero rebounds. Mario Little shot just 33 percent from the field, but damn if that stopped him from trying. He led the team with nine shots. And the Jayhawks collectively had their worst assist-to-turnover ratio since their last loss to a purple-clad underdog with nothing to lose — Northern Iowa. Northern Iowa. "We just weren't productive," sophomore center Jeff Withey said. "It wasn't anything that they did differently. It was all us." Entering the game as the third-best offensive rebounding team in the nation, the Wildcats pulled down 10 offensive boards on 21 misses. misses. "They basically kicked our butts." Mario Little said. "Banged us around." In addition to Pullen playing out-of-his-mind well, it was enough to send the Jayhawks home with a firm reminder of why K-State was picked to win the conference. Most concerning for the Jayhawks is their inability to keep their heads in pressure situations. Their three juniors — the Morris twins and Tyshawn Taylor — had foul trouble and mental miscues all night. "Our three juniors did not come to play tonight," Self said. to play songs. Taylor let his mistakes snowball and was visibly frustrated, while Markiek Morris picked up an intentional foul in the first half. Elijah Johnson cost the team some crucial momentum when he picked up a technical for jaw jacking after a thunderous second-half dunk that brought the Jayhawks within 14. Self was clearly frustrated with the immaturity showed by his team. "I'm leaving out of here not realy recognizing the team that played tonight," he said.

If you answered beating Oklahoma in conference play to capture the Big 12 regular season title, you're either lying or you were under a rock during the NCAA tournament. Seeing how the tournament ended for Jayhawk fans in 2010, being under a rock wouldn't have been a bad place to be in March. What about 2005, 2006, or 2008? I'll answer these for you. these for you. I hear 2005 and think of Bucknell. 2006? Bradley. 2008? A lot of great things, but not one of them is the Big 12 regular season title Mario and the gang won. For better or worse, Kansas basketball is remembered by results in March. Conference championships are great, and the current run of six straight conference titles by Bill Self is nothing short of remarkable, but let's not kid ourselves here. How long can fans bask in the glory of yet another conference title? For me, it's about 24 hours before I'm looking ahead to what seed the Jayhawks will get in the big dance and where they're getting shipped to. Tyshawn Taylor and the Morris twins have gone from immature freshmen (airsoft guns, 'point plankn') to grown men with NBA futures. Thomas Robinson is overcoming adversity better than anyone could have imagined. The team is shooting better than anyone in the country (53 percent). They're unselfish (second in America with 18 assists per game), and sitting at 24-2, a No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament is all but certain at this point. I said that so I can say this: With Texas sitting at 10-0 in Big 12 play, that 54th conference title might have to wait until 2012, and I'm okay with that. Why? Because Kansas fans know wins in February arent remembered, even against rivals. certain of this problem. And let's not forget, this is after losing three NBA players from last year's squad. Who would have thought that KU could finish 14-2 in Big 12 play and finish second overall? Not me, not you. Not anyone. So if the Longhorns finish this ridiculous run they're on with a perfect 16-0 record and capture this year's Big 12 championship, don't be too upset. Tip your cap to our friends in Austin and look forward to the Big Dance. Because as we all know in Lawrence, November through February is fun, but it isn't remembered.

The contest involves 630 schools, drawing participants from every U.S. state except Alaska. The schools will compete over an eight-week period in one or more of several categories of recycling and waste reduction. "I think that adds some incentive" Severin said. Jeff Severin, director of the University's Center for Sustainability, has been involved with RecycleMania in the past and works with the ESP on some projects. He said one benefit of RecycleMania was the interest it generated as a national competition during basketball season. Last year, the University collected 184,413 pounds of paper, cardboard, bottles and cans for a 94th place finish in the Gorilla Prize category, which rates schools in terms of the gross tonnage of recycled material. But the University primarily competes in the Per Capita Classic, which calculates the amount recycled for each person on campus. Last year, Kansas placed eighth in its peer group of nine competing Big 12 schools with 5.47 pounds per person. The University of Missouri finished first with 11.9. tion in the Per This year, the Big 12 competi Capita Classic is down to eight schools, with the University of Colorado not participating. Aileen Dingus, program director for ESP, said that on Monday, the University was in sixth place in its peer group, just three-tenths of a pound behind Kansas State. Kasey Norris, an Overland Park senior and recycling technician, is one of the people who actually collects recyclable material from some of the hundreds of collection points the ESP maintains all over campus. "We're right in there with them," Dingus said. "The standings will change from week to week." Since recycling is paid for by students, there are limits to where material can be collected. For example, they cannot place bins on privately funded residences such as fraternities, sororities or Naismith Hall. The institutional separation of the University and KU Athletics puts Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium off limits as well. "I think the contest is less about trying to win the whole thing than about improving ourselves," Norris said. "It kind of gives us a barometer." Forthose outside of the University's recycling limits but wanting to contribute to RecycleMania, the ESP maintains a large recycling bin in the West Campus Park & Ride lot at Clinton Parkway and Iowa Street. Anyone can follow the competition's Dingus said she hoped students would use the Facebook page to stay informed of the recycling efforts. "They know that there's recycling on campus,but they don't know the extent of it." Dingus said. She said the last container shipped out contained 44,000 pounds of material. The material is taken by the ton to processing plants in Topeka and cities inMissouri and Wisconsin. Dingus wants students to know that participating in competitions like RecycleMania is not all the ESP does. Among other services, it provides special collections on request and maintains an inventory of surplus office furniture and other property that is available to students at cost. "We want the students to know that they pay for our services." Dingus said. "So we want them to take full advantage of what we have to offer."

BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com The council met to vote on whether to remove its president, Jay Trump. According to Aaron Dollinger, a senior from Overland Park who serves on the University's hazing task force, the measure failed by one vote. According to an Office of Student Success report from December, members of the council engaged in paddling while marking staff turnover on Nov. 18. That report said that no new executive board members were padded by former members and that only former members had paddled each other. 港 The Office placed the council on a two-year probation for hazing on Tuesday evening. During the probation period, members will meet frequently with Nicholas Kerhwald, student conduct officer, according to the release. In addition to the probation, the IFC will be forced to: -Send at least two of its executive board members to the Novak Institute, an anti-hazing seminar in Colorado; -Hire an outside consultant to "review the hazing culture in the KU Greek community and lead the implementation of recommended initiatives:" 二、 -Hold all future turnover meetings with a staff adviser present; The IFC will have to pay for all expenses incurred. -And apologize to fraternity members.

But despite what it may look like, the 1985 graduate and KU alumnus is familiar with the campus and is not lost. He is orienteering. Orienteering is a cross-country race in which competitors use a map and compass to find their way through unfamiliar territory. Racers use a detailed map that indicates terrain such as hills, boulders and dense vegetation to find various markers in a specific order. Once a racer locates the marker, he either punches a hole in his "control card" or u-uses an electronic clicker to verify his visit to the site. There is no marked course for racers to follow; instead, they must use the map to determine the route they believe is quickest. "It's really two things. One is figuring out the best way to go, and the other is not getting lost," Eglinski said. "On campus, it's not that hard to not get lost, but in the forest you can easily go to the wrong little cliff." Orienteering began a century ago in Scandanavia as a military training exercise. Eglinski said the sport.was introduced in the United States in the late 1960s and has been growing ever since. C Eglinski, a Lawrence native, was introduced to the sport in high school at an event held on West Campus and continued orienteering throughout college. Although there is no orienteering team at the University now, there was one when Eglinski was here.

Last year, Moore decided to retire after 12 years Moore BENJAMIN H. BURTON serving in congress. He and another former congressman, Chet Edwards of Texas' 17th district, gave short speeches calling for more civility in politics and taking questions from the students in attendance. Before the event, Moore agreed to take a few questions from the Daily Kansan. Kansan: What do you think is a pressing issue facing college students right now? Moore: The environment is a huge, huge issue that we have to face and we have to acknowledge is going to have an impact on people living on this earth in the future and do the right thing. I think most people know and understand that the environment can have a tremendous impact on future generations in our country and in the world. And one more thing, right here in our country we've got a huge national debt. We've got to start living within a budget like most American families. Again, that's going to affect future generations unbelievably. KUJH TV-News Kansan: What's something students may not know about what a congressman does? Moore: To me, some of the most exciting things are when a member of congress is able to get something done that is important to people. I heard a story on NPR seven or eight years ago about our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. It said they are there for six months, the Department of Defense brings them back for two weeks for what they call R&R, rest and recuperation with their family, and then they go back and finish their year, and I thought it was a great idea. The next part of the story I heard, I could not believe; it said the Department of Defense just put them down on the East Coast, in Baltimore, and they're told from there, "you pay your own For more on this story, watch the KUJH news broadcast tomorrow at 4 p.m. on channel 31. way home, and by the way, be back in two weeks so we can get you back to Iraq," I didn't believe that, and I had my staff check and, in fact, it was true. I filed a bill to require the Department of Defense to pay for the domestic travel. We're not even talking about a billion dollars here, were talking about a few million dollars to get people from the East Coast to Kansas City or Texas or wherever and then back to the East Coast so they can finish their term. My bill got passed and became a law in a very unexpected way. It didn't come up on the floor for a vote, but I had a chance to talk to Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense at the time, at a White House Christmas party. He never called me back and never wrote me back, but two weeks after I talked with him, he incorporated my bill into the Defense Department budget just like I'd written it, and now it's law. Kansan: Do you plan to stay involved in politics now that you've retired from congress? Moore: I probably will be. I was on the Board of Trustees for Johnson County Community College for seven years and had to resign when I was elected to congress. I was District Attorney 12 years before that, from 1977 to 1989. So I've been in public service for a couple of years. I really get so much out of being able to give back to my community. I hope a lot of people in public service feel the same way, because that to me is the real reason to do it; not just to feel good about yourself, but to give back to the community. —Edited by Amanda Sorell For more of this interview, go to www.kansan.com. LOCAL Jefferson's will remain closed, but dollar bills stay After a week in the dark, Jefferson's restaurant will remain closed, according to the Kansas Department of Revenue. Jeannine Koranda, public information officer for the Kansas Department of Revenue, said the assets will be sold in a public auction at a later date. The auction house United Country will host the auction. But, she also said, don't worry—the money on the walls will remain in the building. The landlord will write a check for the amount of money, and the decorative bills will go back up on the walls. Jefferson's closed last Tuesday after the state seized the restaurant for owing nearly $47,000 in back taxes. Whatever amount is bid at the public auction for the restaurant will go to the state to pay off that money. She said she could not confirm whether any businesses were interested in buying the assets and renting the property. -By Laura Sather RUNNING (CONTINUED FROM 1A) they won the national championships during Eglinski's tenure. "At the time, the big university school was the West Point Military Academy," he said. "It was an upset to beat them." Eglinski continued Orienteering after college, eventually moving to Sweden to run and study. He said the sport's popularity was much larger in Sweden, allowing him to join a team that would cover his racing expenses. He described his European campaign as average. He won a few races, his team qualified for Swedish championships and he participated in four world championships, almost qualifying for the final round once. Eglinski said orienteering participation in Lawrence has declined since his days at the University, but he is trying to revive the scene. "Lawrence is a perfect town for it," he said. "In Kansas City, there's an event you might have to drive 45 minutes there; here, the longest you'd have to drive is 15." Peter Gogol, 2004 graduate from Cranson, R.I., was introduced to the sport during a geography class at the university. He said for one of his labs, his teacher held an orienteering session. "I know I got an A on that lab," he said. Gogol said his favorite aspect of orienteering was exploring parts of the outdoors that he would otherwise not see. He said that not many students were interested in the sport while he was at the University — he mainly oriented with his wife and roommate — and realized that a certain level of interest is required to keep up with the sport. But he said the sport could offer stu- PROBATION (CONTINUED FROM 1A) those who had allowed for and participated in hazing. "The actions were embarrassing for the community" he said. According to the release, the code defines hazing as "any action, activity or situation that recklessly, negligently or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health, welfare or safety of a person; creates excessive fatigue or mental or physical discomfort; exposes a person to extreme embarrassment or ridicule; involves personal servitude; or substantially interferes with the academic requirements or responsibilities of a student." — Edited by Corey Thibodeaux dents a competitive outlet with little pressure and little cost.

Sigh! Campus should have been turned into a spotlight party today. Boo to the business world. You know a girl who's tax-free on her back and making plenty of cash. I miss being the age when I thought I would have my sh!t together by the time I was the age I am now. Last night I was so drunk I thought a tube of toothpaste was astronaut food. I wonder what it's like to have a god-awful basketball team and be able to storm the court when they unexpectedly win... I guess I'll never find out. What the game plan for the second half should have been: Have Withey kick Pullen in the knee, get a flagrant foul, get ejected from the game, Pullen is out for the season and Withey goes down a god. But, "Last question Pullen, are you going to be playing in the NIT?" Wanted: a young handsome man to butter my biscuit. EMAW... that's what your mom said last night. Girlfriend "I'm still recovering from that epic poop from yesterday." HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ME! I need to see some walks of shame to aid the dateless year ... AGAIN. You wanna cyber? I'll put on my wizard hat and cape. Roses are red/violet are blue/KU has class/do you? Oh wait... You're K-State What do the '52,' 88 & '08 KU championship teams all have in common? A loss to K-State. Twenty-one shots? How 'bout 21 bong hits HUMOR I'm really not looking forward to telling the story of my 21st birthday for the rest of my life. Mainly because it includes the phrases, "I went to Fatso's and it was like an awful, hot high school dance" and, "No, I did not take any birthday shots, because I'm not into projectile vomiting on my friends." I know this is sort of taboo and shiz for a college kid to say, but alcohol just isn't my thing. Beer and wine are alright beverages, and sometimes I enjoy tasting their strange flavors, but I'm not into tweeting, "I m Ssi drunk right now11!" and puking peppermint schnapps in my shower. The whole night of my 21st birthday, I couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like had weed been legalized already. NPR's "All Things Considered," unsurprisingly, did a pretty rad report in 2009 entitled "What If Marijuana Were Legal? Possible Outcomes." BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL ccarmichael@kansan.com The report was from a hypothetical world in which marjuanha had been legalized two years prior – and I think NPR was a bit worried a few "conservacrabs" would faint on the spot (a la Orson Welles' famous "War of the Worlds" radio play), so the guy reporting says something like, "THIS IS ONLY HYPOTHETICAL, YOU GUYS, DON'T FREAK OUT, K?" like eight times throughout the report. The report highlights a lot of great stuff that would come out of marijuana's legalization (including its economic stimulation), but does not spend much time on the legal consumption age. In the report, NPR assumes the legal age of consumption would be 21 which makes sense. It would have been wonderful to celebrate my 21st birthday with a ton of cannabis as opposed to burning poison. I mean, to each their own, but I can only imagine how my 21st birthday would have gone in this perfect weed-is-totally-legal-for-real-y'all world. I assume that Lawrence would have some marijuana bars - I like to imagine that Lawrence would have one that's just a huge arcade or full of a bunch of TVs showing "Rugrats" or something. My friends and I would smoke. I'm sure there would be some stupid "Take 21 hits in a row, bro!" type 21st celebration thing that I would not participate in, because I wouldn't want to rip the skin off of my esophagus. They would buy me some brownies or something, and maybe the bar would have some birthday mini-cupcake for 21st birthdays and I'd be all like. "Aw, thanks. This is the best birthday ever!" The bar might have some discussion room, so we could go there after a while and have the obligatory, "What if the colors I see aren't the colors you see?" discussion. Then, to top off the night, we could take a very high walk around Massachusetts St. I can only assume my twin sister would have done the alcohol-thing on our 21st, and we could have met up afterwards and gone to IHOP. Her, drunk, and me, high as a kite. And we would both think our pancakes were the best food we'd ever eaten. What a wonderful, wonderful world.

HUMAN RIGHTS Minerals fueling electronics might be financing violence We depend on our smart phones to keep us connected to loved ones, informed of current events and on punctual time to Friday night's party. According to a Pew Research report featured in "Wired" magazine, 85 percent of American adults own a cell phone. Personal technology is well on its way to becoming man's new best friend. Unfortunately, our new best friend has a dirty secret: one that involves violence, rape and murder. That secret now involves us. Imagine that your hometown is rich in the minerals that make cell phones work. Imagine that groups of militant rebels are getting rich selling these minerals to electronics companies. Now imagine that one of these gangs violently rapes your mother in order to intimidate the community and maintain control of these valuable resources. To us, this sounds like a movie, but to hundreds of thousands of women and children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this is reality. MARIA CAVALLE The sale of minerals such as tantalum, tungsten, tin and gold provide wealth and power to renegade militias in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Electronics manufacturers purchase these minerals to make cell phones, MP3 players, gaming products and laptops. Over the last decade, these militias have killed 5 million people and raped more than 200,000 women in order to maintain control over mineral mines in the BY RAEANN HANDSHY rhandshv@kansan.com Congo. Financing rape and murder are obviously not our intentions when we purchase a new cell phone, and of course we didn't start this cycle, but we are fueling it with every electronic device we buy. The geography of our global community may make us strangers, but our humanity makes us family. We would never finance the rape and murder of our mothers, our sisters and our children, so why are we financing the rape and murder of someone else's mother, sister and child? One solution to this problem is for electronics manufacturers to diligently track the origin of these minerals and refuse to purchase those minerals coming from conflict zones. As of now they are not doing this, and it is up to us to demand that they do. To learn how you can tell companies like Apple and HP to stop buying conflict minerals, visit www. enoughproject.org.

ENVIRONMENT NICHOLAS SAMBALUK Global warming doesn't depend on weather With the country besieged by snow, one may ponder the issue of global warming. Can what they say be true? It's so cold. Until you realize that, oh right, climate is not weather and the atmosphere's capacity to hold moisture increases when it heats up, global warming begins to make sense. BY ALI FREE But why does this not make sense to so many people? It seems that in this silly war over climate change, those who know what they're talking about often get drowned out by those with more money and less knowledge. is true. The scientific process leaves room for error, and sometimes scientists have less than pure intentions and desires to achieve specific outcomes — exciting or groundbreaking work is more likely to get published and whatnot. BY ALI FREE afree@kansan.com A healthy skepticism for science is as appropriate as it is for anything else. We ought not accept things at face value, but instead look for evidence and question motives. On both of these counts, science generally looks all right. Its whole gig is evidence and data, and scientists have amassed an incredible amount of it that supports the existence of climate change and humans' role in it. There are some scientific organizations that take a noncommittal stance on the issue, but there are many, many more across the world that have come together in consensus on the human effects on climate change. Certainly there are diverse groups that disagree with climate science for many different reasons. Who, then, is virulently opposed to the idea that humans have some role in the changing climate and why? The most vocal and powerful deniers consist of those with a stake in continuing to operate as they always have regardless of consequences, including the United States Chamber of Commerce, which is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the nation. These groups have quite a lot to lose if the public as a whole demanded clean energy and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. They would have to pay more taxes because of their carbon emissions, or invest in developing alternative methods of production. No worries, though. They are working hard to spend that money on deceiving the public and the government about science instead. Keep in mind that the Koch brothers, two of the most active opponents to business regulation, are tied for the fifth wealthiest people in the country. They and other ultra-rich, ultra-powerful businessmen use quite a bit of their control and cash to influence the media, fund ballot measures and pour millions into lobbying Washington officials against legislation regulating climate change. As a result, many of those in power publicly disavow climate change. In December, House Republicans dismantled the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, and the House Committee on Energy and Commerce is now chaired by Paul Upton, a congressman who seems intent upon acting in favor of energy companies and against regulation. This is horrifying. All across the world, scientists are confirming and re-confirming data on climate change, and very few disagree that humans are playing a part in it. Projected effects of climate change range from the inconvenient to the absolutely disastrous, with more signs pointing to the latter. Everything from agricultural processes to economies to coastlines and animal plant populations to human habitats and so much more will doubtless be affected by rising global temperatures. It is highly alarming that short-term pursuit of profit by powerful corporations is allowed to blind side us from these future consequences.

Memphis. While the Jayhawks went 1-2 over the weekend, they picked up a big win by pummeling Memphis 17-7. The Jayhawks would end up dropping their next two games, losing 13-7 to Vanderbilt and 17-8 to Clemson. "With the two full practices we had before our games, it just wasn't enough," coach Dennis Shults said The players agreed that only having two practices may not have prepared them for the weekend's tougher opponents. tough app for them. "I think we played well," Tyler Cauble, a freshman from Libertyville, Ill., said. "We were a little rusty because we hadn't had an outdoor practice yet, but I think that we showed a lot of potential." While KU lost two games, Shults said they did not go down without a fight. "We got complimented from Clemson's coach about how we never gave up." Shults said. Aside from the win over Memphis, the layhawks came back from Nashville boasting the nation leader in points per game, Francis Enright. Enright, a senior from Winnetka, Ill., scored 14 points, six goals, and eight assists over the weekend, including five goals and three assists in the Jayhawks' only win. Enright is currently averaging 4.67 points per game; he finished last season with an average of 5.3 points per game. Ryan Mattie, a senior from Overland Park, who appeared in two games for the lajhawks, yielded 57.9 percent in saves, and Brian Wright, a Deerfield, Ill., junior who played in three games, now holds a 50 percent average in saves. On the other side of the spectrum, uncharacteristically lackluster goaltending and defense gave way to KU's losses to the heavily favored squads from Vanderbilt Coach Shults said he was bothered by the fact that the Jayhawks had plenty of shots on net, but were unable to turn them into goals. Tim MacArthur, a freshman from Tallahassee, Fla., led the team with three posts. But off the field, Shults said he was very pleased at how well the team bonded together over the course of the trip. and Clemson. course on the trip. "The trip was an important first step in getting everybody to work together as a team." Shults said. together as a team. The club team will have a little more than a week to prepare for their next opponent, division rival Iowa, in Iowa City on February 25.

Walz will anchor the pitching staff this season. Walz, winner of Kansas Baseball's Pitcher of the Year Award in 2010, is coming off of back-to-back strong seasons for the Jayhawks. Along with Walz, Wally Marcel and Tanner Poppe will round out the starting rotation's top three. Poppe returns after a strong 2010 season, where he won the team's Rookie of the Year Award. Marcel will be back in the starting rotation for the first time since his sophomore campaign. He sat out in 2009 because of Tommy John surgery and last year, his role primarily came from the bullpen. the big 12 this year, but that has yet to put a damper on any of the players' mindset for this season. "Before you know it, we may be in the top five. We just have to keep competing every day." Marciel said. "I was pretty happy. I never thought I would be able to come back [from surgery] and be a starter." Marcel said. "It's a thrill." just as the Jayhawks disappointed last season, they hope to surprise in this one. Expectations are no longer sky-high and in years past, the Jayhawks have preformed best flying under the radar. It won't take long to get a read on this year's team.

It was the most points the Heat have scored in a quarter and their highest point differential in a quarter this season. Miami led by 24 points in the first half, then lost the lead before regaining it for good in the fourth quarter.

The weather starts to heat back up and the frequent pop of a baseball meeting a bat can be heard now at Hoglund Ballpark. This can only mean one thing: It's baseball season at Kansas. Coach Ritch Price, now in his ninth season at Kansas, leads the Jayhawk squad, whose roster is full of question marks. "I think to lose three first team all-conference players in one season is pretty unique." Price said. Last season, the Jayhawks came into the year with high expectations and were picked by the league's coaches to finish second in the Big 12. The Jayhawks' season ended up being anything but successful, as the team finished 7th in the conference. it's going to be tough for Kansas to replace their three top hitters: Brian Heere, Robby Price and Tony Thompson. Leading the Jayhawk lineup this year is senior Jimmy Waters, the top returning hitter from last year's squad, who batted .309 while belting nine home runs and driving in 63 runs. "It's going to be a lot different for me not hitting behind Heere, Robby and Tony," Waters said. "We have to have guys step up and fill those shoes. I think they're very capable of it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes." But what the Jayhawks lost in star power, they might gain in talent from top to bottom. First basemen Zac Elgie, right fielder Casey Lytle, and shortstop Brandon Macias could all prove to be big bats for Kansas this year. New to the lineup this year will be freshman Ka'iana Eldredge. Eldregde will open the year starting at second base. The young man from Honolulu has made quite an impression on his team- Kafka this year. "I don't think we are capable individually of replacing those three guys in our lineup; what I'm hopeful for is that we will be more solid No. 1-9 in the batting order," coach Price said. SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 6A S RIGHT FIELD - Casey Lytle Lytle, a senior from Phoenix Ariz., provided gritty play last season and hopes to improve in his third year as a starter. Winner of the 2010 Mike Hill Sr. Hustle Award, Lytle swiped a team-high 14 bases and was hit by pitch a school-record 22 times. A contact hitter he will likely bat at the top of the lineup and increase the use of his speed in the running game, something first-year assistant coach Jay Uhlman has stressed since he arrived. CENTER FIELD - Jason Brunansky JASON SMITH Coming off an injury last season, the Poway, Calif., product provides the Jayhawks with range in centerfield. Although he only played in 23 games in 2010, Brunansky posted a 466 OBP. He batted .280 in his freshman season and provided flashy moments with his glove. Freshman lefty Jordan Brown may platton with Brunansky depending on the pitching matchup, according to coach Rich Price. C 2ND BASE - Ka'iana Eldredge The freshman out of Honolulu, Hawaii, will be making a big splash into the Jayhawks starting lineup this spring. Eldredge is out of Punahou High School, winner of the last seven state championships in a row. Eldredge also played This summer Eldredge was named the number two prospect in the Hawaiian Collegiate Baseball League, and he will be a welcomed addition to the Jayhawks lineup this season. LEFT FIELD-Jimmy Waters M Beginning his third year as a starter, Waters, a senior from Council Bluffs, Iowa, returns some much needed pop to the lineup. He led the Jayhawks last year with nine homers and 63 RBI. The left-handed slugger will likely bat cleanup and looks to lower his team-high 46 strikeouts from a year ago. He was also second on the team with 16 doubles. He led the outfield with 98 put-outs and recorded only three errors. Tampa Bay S SHORT STOP - Brandon Macias Winner of the Walt Houck Newcomer of the Year Award. Brandon Maclas looks to be back in a big way for the Jayhawks this year. The transfer from South Mountain Community College hit .290 for the Jayhawks in 55 starts last year. Maclas tore up conference opponents batting. 345 in conference play last year. Maclas will be a key component for the Jayhawks baseball team this year. TST BASE - Zac Elgie PITCHERS T.J. Walz Wally Marceli Tanner Poppe Alex Cox Colton Murray Jake Marasco, a redshirt sophomore, started in 28 games for the Jayhawks last season, hitting .273 with 12 doubles and 19 runs scored. The All-Big 12 Academic First Teamer finished with a perfect fielding percentage for the Jayhawks last year. The 6-3 third baseman has got to be big for Kansas this year. 3RD BASE-Jake Marasco WILLIAMS Looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2009-2010 campaign, Zac Eagl will be starting at first base for the Jayhawks. Elgie started 20 games last season, batting .226 with four homeruns and 14 RBIs. Elgie will look to return to his freshman year form where he started 28 games and batted .305 with three homeruns and 9 RBIs. CATCHER - James Stanfield This will likely be a platoon at least for the early part of the season. Stanfield struggled to hit well for the Jayhawks last season. Stanfield hit .238 while starting 43 games at catcher last year and eight at third base. He hit .305 in Jayhawk home games last year and will have to be more consistent at the plate for Kansas this season.

Oualls said. Douglas County dispatch had no reported accidents as of 1:30 p.m. today. Kimberly Qualls, public affairs manager for northeast Kansas department of transportation, said that a few accidents were reported on nearby highways, but she did not consider that unusual. She added that southwest Kansas experienced much worse fog and traffic incidents. Douglas County is no longer under a weather advisory. Edited by Jacque Weber Despite heavy fog in Lawrence this morning, there was no increase in reported accidents in the area. - Reduce your speed - and watch your speedometer. Fog creates a visual illusion of slow motion when you may actually be speeding. - Avoid crossing lanes. Qualls said she estimated the visibility on the highways to be no more than a quarter mile. But Qualls said that she observed only half the drivers using their lights while she was on the highway. - Travel with the driver's window partially open. Listen for traffic. - If your car is disabled or you can't continue, pull well onto the shoulder and turn off lights. Move away from your vehicle. - Consider postponing your trip until the fog lifts. TIPS TO STAY SAFE ON THE ROAD - Drive with lights on LOW beam. High beams will reflect off the fog, creating a "white wall" effect. —Source: California Highway Patrol Law students required to make up missed classes CAMPUS | 3A Regardless of a snow day, law students must take 700 minutes per credit hour, which requires them to make up any missed classes.

Edited by Jacque Weber BY CHRIS HONG chong@kansan.com Douglas County dispatch had no reported accidents as of 1:30 p.m. today. Kimberly Qualls, public affairs manager for northeast Kansas department of transportation, said that a few accidents were reported on nearby highways, but she did not consider that unusual. "Not anything super heavy like what we relate to ice storms and snowstorms." Oualls said. - Reduce your speed - and watch your speedometer. Fog creates a visual illusion of slow motion when you may actually be speeding. Qualls said she estimated the visibility on the highways to be no more than a quarter mile. But Qualls said that she observed only half the drivers using their lights while she was on the highway. - Drive with lights on LOW beam. High beams will reflect off the fog, creating a "white wall" effect. - Avoid crossing lanes. Despite heavy fog in Lawrence this morning, there was no increase in reported accidents in the area. - Travel with the driver's window partially open. Listen for traffic. - If your car is disabled or you can't continue, pull well onto the shoulder and turn off lights. Move away from your vehicle. TIPS TO STAY SAFE ON THE ROAD - Consider postponing your trip until the fog lifts.

Leading the Jayhawk lineup this year is senior Jimmy Waters, the top returning hitter from last year's squad, who batted .309 while belting nine home runs and driving in 63 runs. CENTER FIELD-Jason Brunansky NY Yankees "It's going to be a lot different for me not hitting behind Heere, Robby and Tony," Waters said. "We have to have guys step up and fill those shoes. I think they're very capable of it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes." Coming off an injury last season, the Poway, Calif. product provides the Jayhawks with range in centerfield. Although he only played in 23 games in 2010, Brunansky posted a .466 OBP. He batted .280 in his freshman season and provided flashy moments with his glove. Freshman lefty Jordan Brown may plateau with Brunansky depending on the pitching matchup, according to coach Rich Price. goes. But what the Jayhawks lost in star power, they might gain in talent from top to bottom. First basemant Zac Elgie, right fielder Casey Lytle, and shortstop Brandon Macias could all prove to be big bats for Kansas this year. LEFT FIELD - Jimmy Waters "I don't think we are capable individually of replacing those three guys in our lineup; what I'm hopeful for is that we will be more solid No. 1-9 in the batting order," coach Price said. S Beginning his third year as a starter, Walters, a senior from Council Bluffs, Iowa, returns some much needed pop to the lineup. He led the Jayhawks last year with nine homers and 63 RBI. The left-handed slugger will likely bat cleanup and looks to lower his team-high 46 strikeouts from a year ago. He was also second on the team with 16 doubles. He led the outfield with 98 putouts and recorded only three errors. SHORT STOP ErinCarter International Media and Marketing Argentina mer 2010 Winner of the Year Award After a ten-hour flight I stepped off the airplane in Ezeiza International Airport, not knowing what to expect from the study abroad program in Argentina. My first experience of the portenos, or people of Buenos Aires, was at the meeting point in the airport. A young man welcomed his girlfriend home with a large bouquet of flowers and an engagement ring. When she said yes, the couple embraced affectionately among the hundreds of travelers. The romantic scene was a wonderful way to begin our visit to the beautiful city of Buenos Aires. Last summer, I participated in the International Media and Marketing program, led by Prof. Linda Lee. The J-School sponsored program granted our group of 15 students three hours of journalism credit while we spent two weeks in Argentina learning about the dynamics of international business and cultural diversity. Professional visits to various media companies in Buenos Aires and Mendoza allowed us to discover the Argentine business culture and gain experience in international communications. Maryland State University Our professional visits included tours of media news companies,media agencies and wineries. We also spoke with professors from the Universidad del Cine and the Universidad Catolica Argentina. A group favorite was a meeting with MEC Argentina,an international media agency.The professionals talked to us about their work in media planning and buying, which fueled a group discussion on the functions of media and marketing industries worldwide.MEC Argentina's clients included Citi and Pico Dulce,a popular lollipop candy. in addition to the professional visits, we witnessed the country's infatuation with soccer during the World Cup. The Argentines were devoted and united in their fanaticism for their team. We cheered them on as they defeated three teams during our stay, and we were disappointed when they lost a few days after we returned to the United States. Between professional visits and World Cup matches, we found time to schedule cultural learning activities. The group signed on with a tour company to take guided bus tours of the many districts of the capital city and of the mountains in the quieter city of Mendoza. In Buenos Aires, we went to an elaborate tango show and dinner, and the next week we took group tango lessons. We also visited art and cultural museums, the famous Recoleta Cemetery and the Casa Rosada, where the president of Argentina works. In addition to the wine tours in Mendoza, the group took a day excursion to the Andes Mountains and went sledding. Two weeks seemed short, but it was an ideal amount of time for our group to discover the media and marketing operations of another country while we opened our eyes and minds to a different culture. The completion of the program was dependent on final individual projects in an area of personal interest to the student.

Here's the good news: It's a fool who counts Kansas out of the national title race this early on.

THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY OF DAHY KANGAN l e r s e al e SarahShubert Summer 2010 Italy Nestled in one of nature's most gorgeous landscapes, CIMBA serves as a haven for graduate students. Located in the historic town of Asolo, Italy, the program offers a unique learning environment by combining a vast diversity of participants and faculty with valuable exposure to European business practices and social culture. CIMBA quickly surpassed my previous study abroad experiences and exceeded what I had envisioned about living in Italy. Asolo is a preserved medieval city adorned with cobblestone streets, rolling hills, and expansive villas. As the CIMBA facility is housed in a 16th century structure that is linked to Venetian nobility, it was hard not to be captivated by the richness of the town. The locals make it impossible not to engage, which will ease your culture shock and encourage self-discovery. At Pizzeria Cornaro you will enjoy the best pizza in the region and you will even get a chance to try out your own pizza making skills. Francisco's gelato shop will awaken your taste buds. Try my personal favorite - Bacio (hazelnut and chocolate). And Epoca Birria will become your go-to place after long days in class when you need to unwind. If I had it to do over, I would have spent more time exploring Asolo to become more rooted to where I lived for eight weeks. PETER LARRAGH Cultural experience is one of the largest components of this program and it is structured for students to gallant off to exciting new places every weekend and increase their cultural appetites. Italy is much more than the well-known cities of Rome, Florence, and Venice. I traveled by train throughout most of northern Italy taking in Aida at the Arena di Verona amphitheatre in Verona, wine tasting, in Chianti, and hiked the 11 kilometers on the villages of the Cinque Terre. The airport is an easy 45-minute train which makes flights to other countries. I traveled by horse drawn carriage to Jane Austen at the British Library in England. I escaped the persecution in Jews while exploring the Jewish community in Prague, Czech Republic. I stayed booking the Danube River and surveyed Kosovo War in Petrovaradio, Serbia. I landed, I wished I had more time, but I grew restless rewarding study abroad experience and leaving you wanting more. Having studied abroad before, I was amazed at how easy CIMBA made it for me to go. CIMBA is a well-structured program focused on quality. The small size of the program made the experience feel more like time spent with family as I built institutions with faculty, staff and students from across the U.S. The exposure to Italian manufacturers and businesses gave me hands-on experience that I could not have received had I chosen not to go. I diversified myself in a growing global economy. CIMBA granted me with university credits, but more importantly blessed me with an educational experience that extended far beyond the classroom. KellyEngler ANSAN Spring 2009 Ireland As a native Californian, I am frequently asked why I chose to come to KU. I knew I wanted to broaden my horizons and try something new. I also wanted to incorporate a semester abroad into my quintessential college experience. When it came time to make my final decision of which university to attend, it seemed that KU had everything I was looking for including an amazing study abroad program. I decided to take advantage of this opportunity in my sophomore year, applying to study in Cork, Ireland program for the Spring semester. Ireland is a country rich in history and scenery, and the warmth of its people more than made up for the chilly weather. BICYCLE the cycling workout, but suddenly we found ourselves bikeing along a deserted path belting out "Build Me Up Buttercup" at the top of our lungs. If I hadn't been there I wouldn't have believed that it happened. Finally we arrived at the main attraction, the cliffs of Inishmore. My mind swells with memories of countless wonderful experiences during my five month stay. I made fast friends with several students from other U.S. colleges that were studying at University College Cork and we shared many fine experiences together. One adventure in particular stands above the rest. I traveled to the nearby Aran Islands with a couple my new-found friends. After getting off the ferry we had ten hours to explore the island before returning to Galway for the night. After a quick group meeting, we decided that the most efficient way to tour the island would be to rent bikes. What followed next was a crazy ride through its rolling hills with a fantastic photo opportunity at every crest. The white-washed cottages seemed to be straight out of a story book. The meadows and ocean made us feel that the color wheel was lacking in names for the color green. I was named tour guide since I was enrolled in a Prehistoric Ireland course. It got to the point where other tourists were asking me questions about the eras of round towers and wedge tombs. I don't know if it was the sun or the endorphins from As we braced ourselves against the whipping wind and the feeling of vertigo, we took in one of the most beautiful views I have seen in my entire life. I can easily recall the thrill of the shear drop and the sound of the waves crashing below. After an hour of taking in the view from every possible angle, we made our way down the hill and resumed our bicycle tour. At this point of the day, every hill felt like a challenge, but none of us even thought of turning back and cutting short our most incredible adventure. Each and every day of my semester in Cork felt like a present. I never knew exactly what was going to happen, but whether meeting new people, discovering a pub with live music, or visiting a museum, each day gave me new and lasting memories. As I look back on my four years at KU, I feel that I have had a very rewarding experience. Owing in large part to my semester abroad, I know that I made the right decision to be a Jayhawk.

The Jayhawks have arguably the best offense in the country and, statistically, they have the defense to match. The talent is there to win a national championship, and four of Kansas' title-winning teams have lost to Kansas State. this year, which is a big step in the right direction, but he still lets the outcome of the play before dictate what happens next when he's out there. Point guards, like pitchers and quarterbacks, need short memories. Taylor needed to forget that he turned the ball over and stopped Jacob Pullen. He didn't do that.

JordanKruse Spain Fall 2010 This past fall I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Madrid, Spain to study Spanish language and culture. Up until then, I had never lived outside of Kansas much less in a city as big as Madrid. My time there, in a place so different than home, completely pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me the chance to experience new things every day. My first couple weeks were great. I spent every day walking around the city, eating churrros con chocolate, visiting Retiro Park, and planning trips for upcoming breaks, but I still felt like a visitor. The city was not home yet, and despite my efforts to pull myself off the beaten path, every bar or cafe I went to seemed to be filled with American tourists and I couldn't help but see myself as one of them. It took a lot of patience and effort, but at some point during my time abroad I was able to shake the feeling that I was a stranger in the city that I lived in. I became best friends with my roommates, improved my language skills immensely, interacted with local Spaniards and other students from around the world, mastered the public transportation system, and even found a café where I became a regular. 1 I lived with a host mom who cooked authentic Spanish meals for us every day. She was an incredibly interesting woman who, despite her seventy years was very sassy. She wore leopard print and fur coats, she put on bright red lipstick for special occasions, and she never drank anything except coffee or vermouth. She introduced us to her family and friends, and thanks to her I was able to feel a strong sense of community. Most of all, she DENT VOICE SINCE 1904 was patient in helping me with my language skills. She spoke no English, and upon my arrival my knowledge of the Spanish language barely exceeded "Donde esta la biblioteca?" But the homestay situation forced me to speak Spanish frequently and was an irreplaceable tool in learning a new language. My time living in Madrid also presented me with tons of opportunities to travel throughout Spain and all over Europe. I visited fourteen different cities within Spain as well as England, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, and Vienna. Every place I traveled to presented me with new things to see, foods to try, cultural insights and experiences, and people to meet. At first Madrid felt like a place I was visiting, but during my study abroad experience, Madrid became a second home. I learned a new language, traveled to places I never imagined I would see, navigated the metro systems of several major cities, met tons of other travelers from all over the world, and started friendships that will last for years.

The Jayhawks' season ended up being anything but successful, as the team finished 7th in the conference. 63 runs. "It's going to be a lot different for me not hitting behind Heere, Robby and Tony," Waters said. "We have to have guys step up and fill those shoes. I think they're very capable of it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes." New to the lineup this year will be freshman Ka'iana Eldredge. Eldregde will open the year starting at second base.

Leading the Jayhawk lineup this year is senior Jimmy Waters, the top returning hitter from last year's squad, who bated .309 while belting nine home runs and driving in 63 runs. SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 6A But what the Jayhawks lost in star power, they might gain in talent from top to bottom. First basemen Zac Elgie, right fielder Casey Lytle, and shortstop Brandon Macias could all prove to be big bats for Kansas this year. RIGHT FIELD - Casey Lytle "I don't think we are capable individually of replacing those three guys in our lineup; what I'm hopeful for is that we will be more solid No. 1-9 in the batting order," coach Price said. Lytle, a senior from Phoenix, Aziz, provided gritty play last season and hopes to improve in his third year as a starter. Winner of the 2010 Mike Hill Sr. Hustie Award, Lytle swiped a team-high 14 bases and was hit by pitch a school-record 22 times. A contact hitter, he will likely bat at the top of the lineup and increase the use of his speed in the running game, something first-year assistant coach Jay Uhlman has stressed since he arrived. CENTER FIELD-Jason Brunansky SAN FRANCISCO Coming off an injury last season, the Poway, Calif., product provides the Jayhawks with range in centerfield. Although he only played in 23 games in 2010, Brunansky posted a .466 OBP. He batted. 280 in his freshman season and provided flashy moments with his glove. Freshman lefty Jordan Brown may platoon with Brunansky depending on the pitching matchup, according to coach Rich Price. 2ND BASE - Ka'iana Eldredge S CITY OF NEW YORK The freshman out of Honolulu, Hawaii, will be making a big splash into the Jayhawks starting lineup this spring. Eldredge is out of Punahou High School, winner of the last seven state championships in a row. Eldredge also played This summer Eldredge was named the number two prospect in the Hawaiian Collegiate Baseball League, and he will be a welcomed addition to the Jayhawks lineup this season. LEFT FIELD-Jimmy Waters T Beginning his third year as a starter, Waters, a senior from Council Bluffs, Iowa, returns some much needed pop to the lineup. He led the Jayhawks last year with nine homers and 63 RBL. The left-handed slugger will likely bat cleanup and looks to lower his team-high 46 strikeouts from a year ago. He was also second on the team with 16 doubles. He led the outfield with 98 put-outs and recorded only three errors. 1ST BASE - Zac Elqie C S SHORT STOP - Brandon Macias CS --- Winner of the Walt Houck Newcomer of the Year Award. Brandon Maclas Looks to be back in a big way for the Jayhawks this year. The transfer from South Mountain Community College hit .290 for the Jayhawks in 55 starts last year. Maclas tore up conference opponents batting .345 in conference play last year. Maclas will be a key component for the Jayhawks baseball team this year. PITCHERS 3RD BASE-Jake Marasco Jake Marasco, a redshirt sophomore, started in 28 games for the Jayhawks last season, hitting .273 with 12 doubles and 19 runs scored. The All-Big 12 Academic First Team finished with a perfect fielding percentage for the Jayhawks last year. The 6-3 third baseman has got to be big for Kansas this year. T.J. Walz Wally Marceli Tanner Poppe Alex Cox Colton Murray JEREMY CABOT Looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2009-2010 campaign, Zac Elgic will be starting at first base for the Jayhawks. Elgic started 20 games last season, batting .226 with four homeruns and 14 RBIs. Elgic will look to return to his freshman year form where he started 28 games and batted .305 with three home runs and 9 RBIs. CATCHER - James Stanfield This will likely be a platoon at least for the early part of the season. Stanfield struggled to hit well for the Jayhawks last season. Stanfield hit .238 while starting 43 games at catcher last year and eight at third base. He hit .305 in Jayhawk home games last year and will have to be more consistent at the plate for Kansas this season.

I knew that I wanted to study abroad in Greece ever since I first went in high school in 2006. My family is Greek-American and I've always wanted to improve my Greek in the classroom, but KU doesn't offer any Modern Greek curriculum, only Ancient. Studying abroad turned out to be a great alternative to taking a class that KU doesn't offer. One of the greatest appeals of this study abroad experience for me was that I would go in not knowing anyone. I have amazing friends, but I like stepping out of my comfort zone and meeting new people. Flying 6000 miles by myself definitely took a toll mentally and physically, but it was entirely worth it. Greece was an incredible experience in that while I was able to relate to some of its customs, I was able to enjoy those that we don't experience in the United States. Life on Paros and many of the islands is much more relaxed than the busy lives that most of us lead. My classmate said it best when she said that in the US, we live to work whereas in Paros, they work to live. KU OFFICE OF STUDY ABROAD The University of Kansas BEST VAULTER I stayed along the coast for the entirety of my trip, so I ate fresh fish everyday. Needless to say, I now can't look at shrimp and calamari in Kansas the same way. Staying in Greece is like literally living in a postcard. I tried to take pictures of all the views and scenery, but I still never felt like I could capture what I was feeling. I just had to be calm (which is no easy task for me) and enjoy it. I did some island hopping to other islands like los and Santorini, while also staying with a friend in Athens. I did everything I wanted to do from cliff jumping to snorkeling. I'm Greek Orthodox, so one of the things that meant a lot to me was being able to go to services at a church on the island that was first built by St. Constantine over 1600 years ago. I developed long-lasting friendships with both my classmates and the natives of Paros. Once I got a little more confident with my Greek, I had numerous conversations with many of the natives. The friendliness and welcoming of everyone on the island made me feel at home. If you are able to, I would whole-heartedly recommend studying abroad. It has proved to be a valuable part of my education that I wouldn't trade for anything.

He led the Jayhawks last year with nine homers and 63 RBI. The left-handed slugger will likely bat cleanup and looks to lower his team-high 46 strikeouts from a year ago. He was also second on the team with 16 doubles. He led the outfield with 98 put outs and recorded only three errors. JUSTIN SMITH SHORT STOP - Brandon Macias Winner of the Walt Houck Newcomer of the Year Award. Brandon Maclas Jooks to be back in a big way for the Jayhawks this year. The transfer from South Mountain Community College hit .290 for the Jayhawks in 55 starts last year. Maclas tore up conference opponents batting .345 in conference play last year. Maclas will be a key component for the Jayhawks baseball team this year. 1ST BASE-Zac Elgie JUSTIN HOFFMAN 3RD BASE-Jake Marasco PITCHERS Jake马斯co, a redshirt sophomore, started in 28 games for the Jayhawks last season, hitting .273 with 12 doubles and 19 runs scored. The All-Big 12 Academic First Teamer finished with a perfect fielding percentage for the Jayhawks last year. The 6-3 third baseman has got to be big for Kansas this year. T.J. Walz Wally Marcel Tanner Poppe Alex Cox Colton Murray STATE Looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2009-2010 campaign, Zac Eleg will be starting at first base for the Jayhawks. Elgie started 20 games last season, batting .226 with four homeruns and 14 RBIs. Elgie will look to return to his freshman year form where he started 28 games and batted .305 with three homeruns and 9 RBIs. CATCHER - James Stanfield This will likely be a platoon at least for the early part of the season. Stanfield struggled to hit well for the Jayhawks last season. Stanfield hit 238 while starting 43 games at catcher last year and eight at third base. He hit .305 in Jayhawk home games last year and will have to be more consistent at the plate for Kansas this season.

The weather starts to heat back up and the frequent pop of a baseball meeting a bat can be heard now at Hoglund Ballpark. This can only mean one thing: It's baseball season at Kansas. Coach Ritch Price, now in his ninth season at Kansas, leads the Jayhawk squad, whose roster is full of question marks. "I think to lose three first-team all-conference players in one season is pretty unique." Price said. Last season, the Jayhawks came into the year with high expectations and were picked by the league's coaches to finish second in the Big 12. The Jayhawks' season ended up being anything but successful, as the team finished 7th in the conference. But what the Jayhawks lost in star power, they might gain in talent from top to bottom. First basemen Zac Elgie, right fielder Casey Lytle, and shortstop Brandon Macias could all prove to be big bats for Kansas this year. runs. "It's going to be a lot different for me not hitting behind Heere, Robby and Tony," Waters said. "We have to have guys step up and fill those shoes. I think they're very capable of it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes." New to the lineup this year will be freshman Kaiana Eldredge. Eldredge will open the year starting at second base. The young man from Honolulu has made quite an impression on his team- It's going to be tough for Kansas to replace their three top hitters: Brian Heere, Robby Price and Tony Thompson. Leading the Jayhawk lineup this year is senior limmy Waters, the top returning hitter from last year's squad, who batted .309 while belting nine home runs and driving in 63 runs. SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 6A "I don't think we are capable individually of replacing those three guys in our lineup; what I'm hopeful for is that we will be more solid No. 1-9 in the batting order," coach Price said. CENTER FIELD - Jason Brunansky M Coming off an injury last season, the Poway, Calif., product provides the Jayhawks with range in centerfield. Although he only played in 23 games in 2010, Brunatsky posted a .466 OBP. He batted .280 in his freshman season and provided flashty moments with his glove. Freshman lefty Jordan Brown may platoon with Brunatsky depending on the pitching matchup, according to coach Rich Price. 2014 LEFT FIELD – Jimmy Waters Beginning his third year as a starter, Waters, a senior from Council Bluffs, Iowa, returns some much needed pop to the lineup. He led the Jayhawks last year with nine homers and 63 RBL. The left-handed slugger will likely bat cleanup and looks to lower his team-high 46 strikeouts from a year ago.

Winner of the 2010 Mike Hill JohnZecy mmer 2010 Greece This past summer of 2010, I studied abroad in Paros, Greece for two months at an institution called Dikemes University. I knew that I wanted to study abroad in Greece ever since I first went in high school in 2006. My family is Greek-American and I've always wanted to improve my Greek in the classroom, but KU doesn't offer any Modern Greek curriculum, only Ancient. Studying abroad turned out to be a great alternative to taking a class that KU doesn't offer. One of the greatest appeals of this study abroad experience for me was that I would go in not knowing anyone. I have amazing friends, but I like stepping out of my comfort zone and meeting new people. Flying 6000 miles by myself definitely took a toll mentally and physically, but it was entirely worth it. Greece was an incredible experience in that while I was able to relate to some of its customs, I was able to enjoy those that we don't experience in the United States. Life on Paros and many of the islands is much more relaxed than the busy lives that most of us lead. My classmate said it best when she said that in the US, we live to work whereas in Paros, they work to live. VAUETER KU OFFICE OF STUDY ABROAD The University of Kansas I stayed along the coast for the entirety of my trip, so I ate fresh fish everyday. Needless to say, I now can't look at shrimp and calamari in Kansas the same way. Staying in Greece is like literally living in a postcard. I tried to take pictures of all the views and scenery, but I still never felt like I could capture what I was feeling. I just had to be calm (which is no easy task for me) and enjoy it. I did some island hopping to other islands like los and Santorini, while also staying with a friend in Athens. I did everything I wanted to do from cliff jumping to snorkeling. I'm Greek Orthodox, so one of the things that meant a lot to me was being able to go to services at a church on the island that was first built by St. Constantine over 1600 years ago. I developed long-lasting friendships with both my classmates and the natives of Paros. Once I got a little more confident with my Greek, I had numerous conversations with many of the natives. The friendliness and welcoming of everyone on the island made me feel at home. If you are able to, I would whole-heartedly recommend studying abroad. It has proved to be a valuable part of my education that I wouldn't trade for anything.

Hearing scheduled to discuss suit against Fiji BY PAT MUELLER pmueller@kansan.com The hearing, scheduled for April 18, 2011, will be a meeting among Fritzie, the fraternity and Judge Brian Wimes to discuss details of the case before the trial. A Jackson County judge recently set a case management hearing in the civil suit filed by Matthew Fritzie against the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, FIJI, 1540 Louisiana St. Fritzie filed a civil suit in Jackson County, Mo., on Dec. 29, 2010, seeking damages in excess of $75,000 after he was injured when he dove into a manmade pool at the fraternity's annual "FIJI Island Party." The suit accuses the national fraternity organization, KU chapter and chapter association president David Smith of failing to look after the welfare of the pledges, which lead to Fritzie's injuries. The suit alleges that the nation al headquarters of Phi Gamma Delta issued rules banning pools or ponds from being constructed for the FIJI Island Party. It says Smith and other members from the local and national fraternity organization visited the house during the three weeks the pledges built the pool. No one terminated the construction of it. Scott McCreight, Fritzie's attorney, declined to comment on the case. The University of Kansas placed Phi Gamma Delta on probation for two years after investigating allegations of hazing prompted by the accident at the FIJI Island Party. The investigation found that pledges were subjected to ridicule and personal servitude. Fritzie told investigators he was ordered by an active member to "swan dive into the pool." He was then life-flipped from the fraternity house to the University of Kansas Hospital for head trauma. He sustained permanent neck damage and paralysis. nent neck damage and paralysis While on probation, Phi Gamma Delta must be an alcohol-free house in May 2012. It cannot hold social events through spring 2011. It must limit newmember education programs to eight weeks, and it must participate in community service.

Because the more diverse of a population we have within our organization the better we can program for the University as a whole," Iler said. Record-breaking attendance at an event last semester illustrates a growing interest in participants as well. At 2,006 attendees, the sold out Aziz Ansari show on Sept. 14 broke the Lied Center's attendance record. Ansari appeared courtesy of SUA and as part of his "Dangerously Delicious" comedy tour. "We knew we sold out, but we didn't know it was a record," Iler said. "And we were really excited about that." SUA's mission is to provide low cost events to students in order to provide options outside of the classroom. Weekly events include two dollar movies and larger events such as the Ansari show. "It's a really inexpensive way for students to stay busy and get more out of the college experience" ller said. Compton said SUAs done a good job throughout the past couple of years in terms of advertising and branding. "We did a huge website overhaul and our social media presence is huge right now," Compton said. SUA members say the increased interest in their organization is testimony to their marketing efforts and the student body's knowledge and curiosity of what they do. "It shows, not our popularity, but how big of a role we can have on this campus," Buffington said. SUA's next big event is their version of "Dancing with the Stars" featuring student body president Michael Wade Smith and Baby Jay Feb. 24 in the Union. Group may get $9,000 to fund speaker BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON STUDENT SENATE Against the wishes of some members, the Student Senate Finance Committee approved the Center for Community Outreach's request for funding to bring speaker Greg Mortenson to the University in March. At Wednesday's finance committee meeting in the Kansas Union, the CCO requested $10,000 from the committee. The committee denied the original amount, amending the total to the approved amount of $9,000. The Student Senate will vote on the amended amount next week. CCO organizes an annual campaign in March, "Into the Street Week", and plans on Mortenson for the key-note speaker. Mortenson founded the Central Asia Institute and his recent book, "Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace...One School At A Time," was on the New York Times Best Seller list three times. CCO said Mortenson's reputation as the most sought out speaker and his humanitarian work justify the funding. Members of the finance committee said their concern was that a speaker with such a hefty price tag can take away funding from other students' groups and their ability to bring speakers. "Essentially, one group can bring in one speaker and the rest are S-O-L," one committee member said. David Cohen, student senate treasurer, said he would feel irresponsible if he did not speak out. "I think it's an absurd amount and way too high." Cohen said.

KU School of Law is accredited through the American Bar Association, therefore all students must have 700 minutes of class per credit hour. If class is canceled due to inclement or if class is canceled by the professor, the time missed must be made up. Law students must attend 700 minutes per credit hour BY ANN WILSON awilson@kansan.com The two snow days at the beginning of the month brought relief to students and professors alike, but students in the School of Law had all work and no play. Stacy Leeds, interim associate dean for academic affairs, said that under the American Bar Association's (ABA) accreditation, law students must make up any missed classes regardless of the circumstances, including snow days or professor illnesses. "It's nothing new or extraordinary," Leeds said. "The idea of having makeup classes is very routine in the law school." The law school builds in makeup days to their calendar at the beginning of the school year and the decision for when students will make up missed classes relies on individual professors. Additional makeup times were identified after the snowstorm hit. Leeds said rescheduling the two snow days would be more difficult because they affected the whole school. Under ABA policy, students must attend 700 minutes of class per credit hour. Leeds said this equals out to 55 minutes per day—a rule compliant with every law school in the country. Maddie Simpson, a second year law student from Mission Hills, said that most teachers are pretty understanding when it comes to makeup days and try to choose times based on their students' availability. "On one hand I think it's kind of unfortunate because we can't control the weather, but if we want to maintain the ABA accreditation, there's no way around it," Simpson said. Christopher Drahozal, professor and associate dean for research and faculty development, said in an e-mail that the predetermined makeup times reduce the risk of conflict with students' other classes. "I checked with the students before scheduling the makeupups to make sure they didn't cause too many conflicts," Drahozal said. "Given the circumstances, I will not penalize students who have conflicts." Two of Drahozal's classes were canceled due to the snow. His contracts class meets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9:15 a.m. He has already rescheduled one class for next Thursday, and another in March. While Drahoza's students know their makeup schedules, others such as Simpson have yet to hear from their instructors. — Edited by Emily Soetaert KUJH For more coverage of this story, check out KUJH's newscast today at 4 p.m. lemon bliss spa tanning | body treatments | massage Nail Specials Tanning Specials One month unlimited Two weeks unlimited level 1 $25 level 2 $45 level 3 $65 $20 spa manicure (reg. $30) $35 spa pedicure (reg. $45) level 1 $15 level 2 $30 level 3 $45 February Special $15 VersaSpa® Spray tans (all levels) 2 Hours FREE 1200 Oread Ave valet parking (inside The Oread) with spa purchase 785.830.3908 get still has more than $30,000 in funding for other groups.

The troubled actress, arraigned earlier this month on a grand-theft charge for allegedly lifting a $2,500 necklace, was announced as a Thursday guest on CBS "The Late Show with David Letterman. But according to a statement from Worldwide Pants, the show's production company: "Lindsay Lohan will not be delivering a Top Ten list on Thursday's 'Late Show with David Letterman', as had been previously announced. We made a mistake. Letterman." "Someone purporting to be a friend of Lindsay's reached out to the show yesterday, allegedly on her behalf, and booked her to appear. Clearly, this person was not authorized to make commitments on her behalf." The statement came a few hours after Lohan herself tweeted: "I am NOT going to be doing David Letterman.

EDITORIAL In recent years, colleges and universities across the nation have started to offer benefits to domestic partners of employees. University should provide health care for domestic partners Such changes have occurred at the University of Kansas as recent last summer when the Provost approved the revision of the University's bereavement leave policy to include domestic partners. While this demonstrates a positive step toward equality, the University still falls short when it comes to the most basic of human rights; health care. The University does not offer health insurance to domestic partners of employees because it currently uses the state's definition to define a partner as a man or woman in marriage. University officials should reevaluate this and seek equality by providing heath insurance to domestic partners as well as married spouses of University employees. According to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, in 2007 the Human Rights Campaign identified 305 higher education institutions in the U.S. that offer domestic partner benefits. While the overall number of universities that offer these benefits is low, the University of Kansas should take a stand as a progressive institution and ensure equality because it is the right thing to do. The most important reason to support this recommendation rests on the grounds of basic fairness, equality and nondiscrimination. In fact, by not extending health insurance, the University goes against its own non-discrimination policy, which prohibits discrimination "on the basis of sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, gender identity and gender expression." Students, staff and faculty should support extending health insurance to domestic partners of university employees for several reasons. One reason is retention and recruitment. The University is in competition for the best and brightest employees and offering health insurance to domestic partners of those employees will help to recruit and retain high quality faculty and staff. One argument against extending health insurance is cost. In today's economic climate the University cannot and should not spend its money carelessly, but at the same time equality should not be ieopardized. The University could look into paying for the extension of health insurance with private funds or reallocating funds from elsewhere in the budget. Furthermore, should all faculty members have access to health insurance for their partners, they will be more likely to stay at the University, saving the University costly recruitment efforts in the future. Employees with domestic partners deserve the same compensation as married employees. By extending health insurance to domestic partners of University employees, the University can continue taking steps toward equality and uphold the basic value of fairness.

HUMAN RIGHTS Consequences of drug trafficking shared by both users and dealers What do thousands of kidnappings, murders, spring break, drugs, topless women and great tequila all have in common? Brazil? Ibiza? No... Our popular southern spring break destination has for decades been the epicenter for everything from that pot you are probably going to smoke after class, to the hundreds of thousands of pounds of cocaine and other hard narcotics. This problem is nothing new, with a lax and easily bought out government and an underfunded acting army working in place of a local or state police force, cartel gangs have been able to get by with little to no legal opposition. able to get by with little to no right of position. In past decades the violence and politics of the Mexican drug dilemma has not seeped outside of Mexico like its product. The only evidence of its presence: the steady flow of drugs into the United States and the occasional disappearance or murder of someone who is usually tied to an opposing distributor or manufacturer. PRAIRIE BURGESS According to U.S. officials, Mexican drug cartels operate in more than a dozen states. While the so-called "War on Drugs" has made some progress in busting the smaller distributors in the states, these busts are smaller American gangs that are one piece in the distribution map and do not address the problem at large. In the past few years, however, the violence of Mexico has seeped into the southern United States and now even in the Midwest and more northern states. The U.S. National Drug Intelligence Center publicized that mid-level and retail drug distribution is carried out by more than 900,000 criminal active gang members representing approximately 20,000 street gangs in more BY SHAUNA BLACKMON slackmon@kansan.com than 2,500 cities. Soon the damage won't be limited to Mexico or to states along the border When people buy their weekly sack, most don't think about where it is coming from and the political and financial implications of possibly supporting this empire through violence. limited to Mexico or to states along the border. Americans in the south have already begun to see the consequences of the Mexican drug problem in form of murders and kidnappings, but the rest of the U.S. has for the most part, been ignorant of the recent problems. This is not to say that every American should give up whatever drugs they are doing (if any). We all know that will never happen. An educated look at where you want your hard earned money to go should be a priority though. It is hard to know for sure on anything that is so sketchy and underground as drug sales, but as the largest consumers of the product that is supporting violence and ruining a country and a government so close to ours. we should at least be smart about where our money is going.

COM/POLLS KATY PERRY ASSOICATED PRESS POP CULTURE Popular advertisements encourage mindless consumption In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live, Jesse Eisenberg plays a Columbia student being interviewed by Bill Hader's reoccurring character Herb Welch — a pugnacious veteran field reporter with a violent-mic hand. The news parody focuses on the recent drug bust at Columbia, where five students were arrested for allegedly selling illicit drugs to finance their education. I am a teacher in the secondary school. The randomness of his entrance is good for a W-T-F laugh, but it's rather appropriate considering Geico employs (and now I'm thinking about the "Can Geico Really Save You 15 percent on car insurance?" commercials) the same type of random humor in their advertisements: comedy that's so incongruous with what precedes it, that it's illogical inclusion makes it memorable. Halfway through the sketch, a presumably stoned student, played by Andy Samberg, stumbles across the on campus interview, entering with a non sequitur: "It's gecko, not Geico!" Geico is not the only company to use this type of humor. Old Spice runs commercials with Ray Lewis selling the BY MATTHEW MARSAGLIA marsagliakapans.com The Terry Crews commercials are similarly absurd. One commercial zooms into the retired defensive end's armpit's armpit (Youtube it), and zooms out to him straddling an anthropomorphic, bathroom-dwelling tiger. Such humor isn't confined to television, however; we hear a similar voice in Groupon's daily coupons. A recent Groupon for a three-hour gelato-making class grabs readers' attention with this opening line: "Like magma and dreams, gelato is a semisolid — neither deodorant with an unexplained third appeal: "Hi, I'm Ray Lewis. Women want me, men want to be me, and animals wanna learn how to talk, so they can hang out with me." solid enough to build a house nor liquid enough to feed a thirsty sparrow* What's interesting about these three examples is that before garnering national attention, they originally appealed primarily to the same target audience as The University Daily Kansan. Now, I understand people of all ages buy Old Spice, Geico Insurance and Groupons, but Old Spice was once the deodorant your grandpa used to wear and is now a Youtube meme generator. Similarly, before Groupon penetrated the mass' lexicon, the burgeoning company was dependent on young, internet-savvy mavens, similar to their founder, 29-year-old Andrew Mason, to bring the site into the mainstream. But just saying our cohorts are crazy for capricious comedy is an easy way to write us off as attention-deficit dummies. To gain more exposure, nascent or established businesses struggling for market share often rely on our demographic to take their service or product viral (bloggers to Oprah, Oprah to western Kansas). Oddly enough, an By spreading these types of advertisements, young people are not promoting uniformed consumer spending (we don't need the details because we can find out for ourselves), but rather promoting certain businesses that understand a more respectable advertising motive is just making consumers aware of their product. effective way of attracting our attention is through something that's never explained. This doesn't mean that we passively watch commercials just to be entertained. Rather, I think it shows how we unconsciously tune out traditional selling points (that's not sex appeal) for something worth spreading And that's it. In a very optimistic sense, I believe that with our penchant for the pointless, we may be empowering other groups of consumers by encouraging advertising that doesn't pose the question, "what's in it for me?" but rather, "what the hell just happened?"

Davis' band, Quiet Corral won 1st place Wednesday night, winning $600. BY ADAM STRUNK astrunk@kansan.com They came, they saw, they rocked and all to benefit a good cause. 320 students showed up to watch the Delta Jamma Battle of the Bands at the Union Ballroom on Wednesday night. Wednesday night. The Delta Gamma sorority hosted the event selling tickets and t-shirts in order to raise money for the sorority's philanthropic organization. Service is in Siah tion, Service in Sight. "It's really good to give back to those who are less fortunate and are needing help." Event planner Tara Truitt said the proceeds of the event would eventually go to programs to help the visually impaired, such as KU's audio reader program and Alpha Point, a facility in New York that trains guide dogs. "This is important because sometimes we forget about all of the great advantages and privileges we have." Truitt said. "It's really good to give back to those who are less fortunate and are needing help" Besides selling tickets and TARA TRUITT event planner a senior from Spring Hill, said members of the sorority worked with businesses and private donors to help raise funds for Service in Sight. Truitt said the annual event raised $8,000 last year and that this year she hoped to raise $5,000. "It's always a great success," she said. "I think it's one of the best philanthropies on campus because you can just come and enjoy the music and also the blind and visually impaired can come and benefit from this same atmosphere." The battle of the bands featured Quiet Corral, Down with Silence and The Louisiana Street Band, all from Lawrence, as well as The Deep from Kansas City. Deep from Rancho The crowd voted for its favorite band and chose Quiet Corral, which took home the $600 1st-place cash prize. Louisiana Street Band finished second and won $100. "It's nice," Quiet Corral singer Jesse Braswell Roberts said. "It's always nice to win." Quiet Corral band members added that it was always nice to do benefit concerts. "We have about a 1-to-3 benefit show ratio," guitarist and Lawrence sophomore Eric Davis said. The Delta Gamma event also featured musical and dance performances from women of the Delta Gamma sorority between band sets. - Edited by Erin Wilbert P READ THE KANSAN GET REWARDED CONGRATULATIONS WHEAT STATE PIZZA!

Western civilization is not irrelevant CAMPUS BY SHAUNA BLACKMON blackmon@kaqsan.com sblackmon@kansan.com It's too much work. The teachers don't realize that I have other classes. None of these authors are relevant. They are all just a bunch of dead white guys. No matter the rumor or complaint, Sandra Zimdars-Swartz has heard it. As the Director of Humanities and Western Civilization, as well as a professor of western civilization, Zimdars-Swartz says she has heard all of the fears and gossip circling the heavy-reading course. For the most part, Zimdars-Swartz says these rumors aren't true, and usually, she can convince her students of that and show them the importance of these authors. "Some people think these authors are irrelevant," Zimdars-Swartz said, "but that's not true, western civilization works with prevalent themes that are applicable to other courses like politics, history and religion." Like many others, Amanda Enneking, a Lawrence senior, was told by advisors as a freshman to wait until her junior or senior year to take western civilization because of the workload. She didn't agree with the advisors' reasoning erature, it's philosophy, it's politics, it's religion. The coursework that is chosen is all relevant," Enneking said. If you want to hold off on taking the reading heavy course "It's philosophy, it's politics, it's religion. The coursework that is choosen is all relevant." and ended up taking the first section of western civilization her sophomore year. "I think that having a basic understanding of what pieces of work are influential to our society is important. It's not just lit- until the last possible second, Zimdars-Swartz recommends you reconsider. AMANDA ENNEKING Lawrence senior or senior year, but many of them at the end of the class say 'I wish I would have taken this earlier because it would have helped me with this or that class"Zimbars-Swartz said. While reading approximately 100 pages a week can be daunting for students who already have three or four other classes to worry about and possibly a job, Zimdars-Swartz remains confident this class is worth it. The University is looking at reevaluating how many general education credits students will have to take. This may change what majors require the class. For now though, almost every student will at some point have to read works such as The Communist Manifesto, the Koran, the Torah and many other historic selections. Edited by Danielle Packer HEALTH City embraces heart awareness BY LAURA NIGHTENGALE Inightengale@kansan.com As a heart attack survivor, Amyx personally recognizes the importance of heart health and habits of disease prevention such as not smoking, exercising and a healthy diet. As a heart attack survivor, Mayor Mike Amyx takes personal interest in acknowledging the importance of heart health awareness. When the president named February American Heart Month, Amyx was soon to follow suit, encouraging awareness events in the city of Lawrence. Cardiovascular disease is one of America's leading killers, claiming 2,300 American lives each day according to the American Heart Association. Causing on average one death every 38 seconds, cardiovascular disease kills more people than cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases and accidents combined. So far this month, events such as heart-healthy cooking classes at The Merc, the Annual Healthy Hearts Fair at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and a Go Red for Women luncheon at the Oread Hotel raise community awareness of heart health issues. "I think it's extremely important to recognize that there are all kinds of programs today to help prevent [heart disease]," Amyx said. "For me I think it's just something important but there's also personal reasons to kind of push people along." Coeli Baker, director of Lawrence Go Red for Women, stressed the importance of heart disease awareness in young people to prevent disease later in life. "That's one of the things that a lot of people don't know about cardiovascular disease and stroke is that you really lay the groundwork when you're younger and having a healthy lifestyle." Bake said. Establishments such as the Oread, the Eldridge, and Mariscos are offering Go Red martinis and donating a portion of proceeds to the Go Red for Women campaign to support the cause. Many community businesses also participate in American Heart Month by wearing red on Fridays this month. Edited by Corey Thibodeaux More heart health awareness events will take place throughout the remainder of the month to promote the community's awareness of the disease. NATIONAL HEART MONTH FACTS - Cardiovascular diseases are America's No. 1 killer - The goal is to reduce death and disability from cardiovascular disease by 20 percent by the year 2020 - Volunteers will put effort into education and raising funds to battle this disease - Be "heart smart" by knowing blood pressure and body mass index, which determines heart health - Best ways to manage heart health: don't smoke, manage stress and exercise regularly - This campaign encourages awareness of the issues and calls for individuals to take action to aid in wiping out heart disease through education in improving overall health -by Amanda Kistner Source: the Mayor's proclamation and the American Heart Association SUNFLOWER OUTDOOR & BIKE 804 MASSACHUSETTS 843-5000 LAWRENCE, K4NS4S It's Our Annual Winter Sale!

He seemed disappointed that the answer wasn't disc golf," David Catt, a freshman from Shawnee, said. "We also talked about the importance of sportsmanship." Nate Barbee, a senior from Dakota Dunes, S.D., said. The players also gave the kids a few words of advice. "We also had Barbee to try and convince them that you can't always win, and losing helps you get better." Gutesha said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. — Monta Ellis scored 21 points and Dorell Wright added 16 to help the Golden State Warriors overcome an early 15-point deficit to beat the New Orleans Hornets 102-89 on Tuesday night. Warriors outscore Hornets NBA All-Star point guard Chris Paul was held scoreless for the final 39 minutes for the Hornets, who are limping toward the All-Star break without injured center Emeka Okafor. New Orleans has lost eight of 10 heading into the final game before the break at Portland on Wednesday night. David Lee also scored 16 points and Stephen Curry had 14 points and eight assists for the Warriors, who have won six of eight games. Five of those wins have come against teams with winning records as Golden State heads into its final game before the All-Star break Wednesday night in Utah playing its best basketball of the season. The Warriors turned a 15-point first-quarter deficit into a 12-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. Golden State began the turnaround with little-used backup guards Charlie Bell and Jeremy Lin in the game in the second quarter with Ellis and Curry sitting with two fouls apiece. Vladimir Radmanovich made two 3-pointers to start the comeback and then Ellis came back in and capped a 15-3 run with a 3-pointer that gave the Warriors their first lead at 47-46. Golden State increased the advantage to 58-53 at the half and then started to pull away in the third quarter. Curry hit back-to-back 3-pointers as part of a 19-6 run that gave Golden State a 79-67 on a 3-pointer from Wright. Curry added another 3-pointer late in the quarter to make it 83-71 heading into the fourth. heading into the fourth. A three-point play by Lee and breakaway dunk by Reggie Williams helped increase the lead to 91-72 early in the fourth and the Warriors cruised from there. The turnaround was possible as much for Golden State's usual prowess on long-range shots as it was the defense against Paul, who missed his final eight shots. Paul finished with 11 points and 10 assists. Former Warrior Marco Belinelli and David West each scored 15 points to lead the Hornets. this game was emblematic of the problems the Hornets have had since leaving here Jan. 26 with a 10-game winning streak. New Orleans has won just twice in 10 games since then with coach Monty Williams saying the downfall started late in that final win in the streak. Williams hoped a return to Oracle Arena would get his team back to playing the way it did during that January run. It looked as though his wish would come true at the start of the game as the Hornets made 11 of their first 13 shots from the field and all nine free throws as they broke out to a 32-17 late in the first quarter. Paul was in the middle of it all by hitting his first four shots and handing out five assists, including the pass that set up a 3-pointer by Belinelli that capped the 9-0 run to give New Orleans a 15-point lead.

It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us." -Walt Whitman FACT OF THE DAY Dwayne Wade's full-court alleyoop pass to Lebron James on Tuesday was seven yards longer than the 21-yard touchdown pass Aaron Rodgers threw to Greg Jennings of the Green Bay Packers. That touchdown put the Packers up 21-3 against the Steelers in the Super Bowl. - espn.com Q: This weekend, Kansas Baseball plays at No. 1 ranked TCU. What is head coach Ritch Price's record against No. 1 ranked teams? TRIVIA OF THE DAY A:5-1 — kuathletics.com MORNING BREW 'Friday Night Lights' comes full circle Last week, one of the greatest shows in the history of television came to its dramatic conclusion. The critically acclaimed, Friday Night Lights, ended its superb five-year run with an episode in which emotion practically ooed out of the television screen. Santander It did not look like the dramatic television show would even last two years as opposed to five, but the little show that could, did. Friday Night Lights survived multiple setbacks, as NBC shifted the time the show aired, and the day it was shown. Another one of the show's setbacks was the writer's strike of 2007-2008. Friday Night Lights appeared to be doomed again after its third season when DirectTV saved the show by agreeing to air seasons 4 and 5 on a separate channel. Before, each season was shown on NBC. Friday Night Lights focused on Dillon, Texas, a small town in the lone-star state. Dillon had nothing better going for it than its perennially stellar high school football. The show followed an array of characters in the town, but none were watched more closely than the head football coach, Eric Taylor, and his wife Tami. BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The show managed to portray a bevy of real-life issues. The characters faced problems that dealt with money, relationships, marriage, friendship, and everything in between, while still being embedded in a football setting. Rarely was there screaming when a problem came up. Instead, the characters talked and worked through their problems, a rarity for television these days. Without giving away any spoilers (for the few of you who may be waiting to watch the conclusion on NBC), the finale was the pinnacle of five astounding seasons. The story lines that had been built up for so long finally came to their conclusion, and the producers of the show did not hold anything back. Yes, it was sad, and anyone who watched the show knows that it will frequently choke you up. The football scenes that concluded the finale were brilliantly done. I found my palms sweating as I gripped the bottom of my chair, anxious to see the fate of the East Dillon Lions. But it wasn't the football scenes at the end that made the finale so breathtaking, it was the message behind them that made the shows conclusion so ideal. THE MORNING BREW As things really cranked up in the game, the show's main characters were shown either in the crowd, on the field, or on the sideline. Whether it was a mom, coach's wife, grandmother, booster, dad, or just a friend, they were all there together as one. Director Peter Berg cleverly ended the show in a way that made it apparent that it didn't matter whether East Dillon won their big game or not. The important thing was the improbable journey that led them there, not the end result. As a fan of the show, I don't think I could have asked for a better ending. Life went on for all of the characters, some with, and some without football. The show seemingly ended just as it began, and the full-circle style could have made Ebenezer Scrooge quiver in his seat trying not to let a tear drip off his stone face. So to anyone who is interested in becoming enthralled in a TV show that can make you a part of something bigger than yourself, watch it, and you'll know two things by the end. Texas forever and clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Edited by Danielle Packer KOCON (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Today she is a leader for the Jayhawks. Coach Megan Smith named Kocon to a captain position in early January. Kocon said that she is very honored that she was named a captain especially since she was out last season. She is happy that her teammates see her in a leading role. "They look up to me in the fact that if adversity does come your way, you just push through it, and good is at the end. I am just very fortunate that they saw that in me." Kocon said. plate. She could have decided to take a year off to recover, but that was not an option in her mind. Softball is Liz Kocon, and the Kansas softball team is her family. She knew that she needed to be there in the dugout to support them. The decision to red-shirt was difficult, but in retrospect, she believes that it was the right choice to make and has benefited her as a player. She spent time improving the mental aspect of the game, especially her offensive play at the "I looked at a lot of the different pitchers that we faced and their delivery of the ball and different ways of pitching." Kocon said. The mental study has definitely shown already after the Jayhawks first five games. She hit a home run over the left field wall when the Jayhawks faced Bethune-Cookman in Jacksonville, Fla., over the weekend. "She was pitching all outside so I just toed up to the line and extended through it, and I got lucky," Kocon said. Hitting in softball can be a very mentally taxing aspect of the game. For Kocon, to have an extra year to focus solely on the mental side of offensive play has helped her develop some of her own philosophies for when she steps up to the plate. "I wanted to get out of my head as much as possible. I want to focus on two points in my swing; my contact points and my extension. If you hit the right contact points and extend through the ball then it is going to go somewhere hard. If you put the ball in play hard then errors are going to happen." Kocon said. Liz Kocon had a learning year during her recovery. She has grown from it. She has become a better leader for her team. Retrospectively she has a positive view on her injury and the recovery process. "I take it as I gained another year. So now instead of going out with Brittany and Allie, I get another year to play the sport that I love. Even though I had to red-shirt, I feel very blessed and fortunate to get another year to play." Kocon said.

Baseball TCU 1:00 PM Fort Worth, Texas ASSOCIATED PRESS The Kings were running out the clock when Quick gave up a rebound on Voracek's shot. Russell backhanded the puck in while skating backward to the left of the net. L.A. Kings extend winning streak COLUMBUS, Ohio—Jarret Stoll had the only goal in the shootout, leading Los Angeles past the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 on Wednesday night and extending the Kings' point streak to 10 games. After Nash and the Kings' Michal Hanzus failed to score in the shootout, Quick stopped Matt Calvert with a poke check. Stoll swooped in on Garon and scored high on the stick side. Quick ended the game with a pad save against Kristian Huselius. The Kings' 8-0-2 spurt is their best run in 31 years. Los Angeles can match the franchise record when it plays the eighth of a 10-game road trip at the New York Rangers on Thursday. Rick Nash and Jake Voracek each had a goal and an assist, and Derek MacKenzie had two assists for Columbus, which had won five of six. Mathieu Garon had 26 saves. Los Angeles also has points in eight straight road games (6-0-2) for its top surge since 1984. The Blue Jackets forced overtime on Kris Russell's goal with 1:23 left in regulation. Doughty broken a 2-2 tie earlier in the third period when he scored off a one-timer from the blue line. It was a pivotal game for both teams, who are outside playoff positioning in the Western Conference. Andrei Lokitionov had a goal and an assist, and Justin Williams and Drew Doughty also scored for the Kings. Jonathan Quick had 21 saves through overtime and stopped all three shots in the shootout. hand in the opening minutes and didn't return. The teams traded goals in each of the first two periods. Garon mishandled a puck that Matt Greene stayed with, eventually flipping a behind-the-back centering pass from the back boards to Loktionov in the slot for his fourth goal. The Blue Jackets tied it when MacKenzie, centering the top line in place of Brassard, dug his dump pass off the back boards and sent a blind pass to Nash. He stepped into a slap shot in the left circle for his 27th. The Blue Jackets had almost 2 minutes with a two-man advantage at the end of the second period Columbus lost two of its top six forwards in the first. Brassard was struck on the left hand by the puck and went immediately to the dressing room. R.J. Umerger, who was in the middle of the top line filling in for Brassard, limped off the ice but returned later. and start of the third but failed to score. The Blue Jackets pulled even late in the period. Nash carried the puck into the attacking zone and fed MacKenzie, who slid a cross-ice pass to Voracek in the right circle for a one-timer that beat Quick's glove. Shortly after a power play, Williams scored his 20th goal to give the Kings a 1-0 lead.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17,2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM STREAK ENDED Jayhawks reflect on downfall KANSAS 23 Senior guard Mario Little is whistled for a foul as he grabs Kansas State guard Rodney McGruder during the second half. Kansas committed 22 fouls and gave up 24 points from the free-tnrow line in the 84-68 loss at Bramlage Coliseum Monday night. PAGE 10A Kansas falters on both sides of the floor, ends 6-game offensive streak BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com For six games, Kansas had been rolling offensively. Then Monday night happened. Maybe it was the pressure of being No. 1. Maybe it was Kansas State finally becoming the team people thought it would be before the season started. Or maybe Mario Little had it right. "They just kicked our butts," Little said. Little said. Whatever the cause, Kansas needs to identify it before Saturday or risk one loss becoming two. or risk one loss because of risk alone. The Wildcats forced the Jayhawks into their fourth-worst offensive performance of the season (Nebraska, Michigan and Texas are the only schools to guard them better). The 11-to-18 assist-to-turnover rate was the worst of the season and it falls largely on the shoulders of Tyshawn Taylor, who struggled mightily with one assist against six turnovers. assist against six. The most logical explanation lies in the brutal performances of the Morris twins. Both played well below their average minutes, and the ball never seemed to move in the offense as well when they were out. Despite the off night, Marcus still had the highest plus/minus, which calculates score differential only when that player is in the game, amongst the starters. game, among the twins, we naturally have good passers," Self said in the week heading up to Kansas State.

In hockey the pass preceding the assist is also credited with an assist, and the twins excel at opening up the game with passes out of a double team, Little, however, is a pure scorer in the post who is hesitant at best to give up the ball once he gets it. Jeff Withey, who played a conference-season high 11 minutes, hasn't developed the Morris's skill set, either. So with the twins in foul trouble and Thomas Robinson out, Kansas State was able to neutralize what had been the best offense in the nation for the past six games. from the field.

"In games where you're not making shots, or a game where you're playing with foul trouble, can you get four or five stops in a row in the clutch part of the game?" Self asked. It only took four days for Self to get his answer: a resounding no. - Edited by Jacque Weber Kocon returns to field after overcoming injury BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com "All I knew was softball.

COMMENTARY Students get active with good weather 1 BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com Which would you rather have: a dreary 70 degree day or a sunny day with a high of 60? Or perhaps it doesn't matter. It's all perfect. Go look at a 10-day forecast. You won't see anything more beautiful this February. Just more than a week ago, a 15-year Kansas resident would say the chill that came over Lawrence might have been the coldest experience of his life. A five minute walk to class and your beet-red cheeks could be chiseled easily from your face. You couldn't even scream in agony because that would subject your mouth to the harsh bitterness. It was the rebirth of what many of us were waiting for. It's not coming. It's already here. You can enjoy the outdoors again, the bonding with nature can resume, and our recreational activities can commence. al activities can start The rain is going to start Saturday and basically go throughout the week, so enjoy this climate now. There is no better time than the now. If you put it off, something will come up, and you'll miss it. But on Tuesday, there they were. It was as if spring had finally arrived. What a beautiful sight to see ultimate Frisbee teams practicing their craft near Watkins Health Center. up, and you'll need Get some people together, forcefully if need be, and engage in something other than video games and watching Jersey Shore. Run, throw, catch, kick, hit, jump, even hop and skip if you have to. Going to the gym can be fun, and that's where everyone goes during the winter months. But weaving through a crowded track or getting stale muscles while in line for a weight bench isn't the ideal way to exercise. Maybe this could jump-start that New Year's resolution you faltered on. Your body likes the changes anyway. And the world is entirely open. No waiting, no limits. Unless you count the streets. Often you count on it. It's an exciting time for sports reporters too because that means more of you are available for stories. And if you think your group, club or intramural has a cool story and deserves coverage, please feel free to let us know in the case we may not find you. According to weather.com, it's supposed to be up in the 50 degree range for the duration of February after Friday. What you do when that happens is up to you. That could be too cold for some people to toss a ball around or to jog a few miles. Sure, it's going to look a little gloomy at times. And it could be wet with the remaining snow dissipating. But just remember the sun is still shining somewhere. You don't have to wait for spring. Edited by Erin Wilbert --- LIFE. AND HOW TO HAVE ONE. // FEBRUARY 17, 2011 Jayplay LIFE.

Storms SUNDAY weather.com All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2010 The University Daily Kansan HEALTH Watkins prepared to treat flu symptoms BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, has a message for students who are feeling sick with symptoms of the flu: she and her staff are there to help, but they aren't handing out doctor's notes for getting out of class. Denning said such notes were not necessary unless the student missed three days of class. "Sometimes we feel like we have appointments scheduled, not for medical reasons, but for documentation," Denning said. Megan Hardy, a junior from Manhattan, made an appointment at Watkins to be examined for strep throat. Hardy said the staff provided her with a record of her appointment, which she delivered to her employer the next day. Student Health Services' policy is that students can request documentation when two conditions have been met. One is that the student was treated at Watkins or has documentation of treatment elsewhere.The second condition is that he or she has been absent from school for three or more consecutive days because of illness or injury. "They just printed it out," Hardy said. "And everything was fine." Marta Caminero-Santangelo, chair of the English department, said her department follows the guidelines of the Office of the Provost. She said faculty has been advised against requiring doctor's notes since last year's arrival of the H1N1 virus. WATKINS MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER To make an appointment: 785-864-9507 To ask questions, call: Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. 785-864-9583 Weekends 785-864-9500 Barbara Romzek, interim vice provost for academic affairs, sent a memo to university staff advising them to accommodate students missing class because of illness. The memo also said that faculty were not obligated to excuse students from class. Denning said the flu arrived on campus Feb. 1, far later and less severe than usual. Denning said students reporting to Watkins with flu symptoms would not necessarily be tested for influenza or be prescribed medication. She said the health center had been distributing relatively little Tamiflu, the preferred prescription drug for influenza. "What we've seen looks quite mild." Denning said. Treatment is available for those requiring it, but the medical staff at Watkins is SEE FLU ON PAGE 34 TECHNOLOGY Software developer creates new apps for regular phones BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com For those students who don't have a smartphone yet, don't worry — there's an app for that. Some software developers are in the business of making apps for regular cellular phones. David Valdiviezo, a sophomore from Mission Hills, likes Apple products but still carries a simple cellular phone. "It's a lot cheaper," he said. "The plans for iPhones are too expensive. They're cool, but it's not worth the money." Valdiviezo isn't alone. In March 2010, the Nielsen Company showed that up to 79 percent of U.S. consumers weren't using smartphones — phones that run third-party software such as apps and use the most advanced operating systems. Simpler models are known as feature phones. The Nielsen study projected that in 2011 the number of smartphones in use would equal and then surpass that of feature phones. But that doesn't mean feature phone users don't have access to mobile Internet. App makers are designing their software to operate on all types of phones. Facebook, for example, just released an app free of data charges for feature phones, specifically for overseas markets. Facebook worked with software developer Snaptu on its latest overseas app. Snaptu offers apps for Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and others that depend on Java software.

It only took four days for Self to get his answer: a resounding no. - Edited by Jacque Weber Kocon returns to field after overcoming injury BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com "All I knew was softball.

The problem that needed to be resolved? Our friend was standing aimlessly in the middle of a dance floor filled with beautiful girls, none of whom he would talk to or dance with on his own. The girls in our group looked puzzled. One of them asked, "What's the role of a wingman?" "It's wingman time," my friend announced as he put out his cigarette and took a swig of whiskey with the red-faced swagger of Winston Churchill at a Sunday brunch. He then disappeared into the crowd of gyrating hips, dancing to the R&B classics that have brought men and women together since R. Kelly discovered there was nothing wrong with a little "bump n' grind." It was a simple enough question. We tried our best to explain the importance of the wingman in situations like these: "A wingman is like the Samwise Gamgee of breaking the ice. Frodo may have the power of the Ring, but he cannot make the trek to Mordor alone..." In all honesty, attraction and seduction are hard games to play. The wingman, or woman, helps create an opening for the friend to start a conversation with the person in whom they are interested. The history of the wingman probably goes as far back as ancient Greece when Hermes strapped on his wing-tipped shoes to inform mortal women that Zeus would be paying them a visit. Don't quote me on that though. All I know is that Icarus was a terrible wingman. My friend, however, offers proof that — if done right — a wingman can be a useful tool to help you break the ice with a potential new date. It took him less than 15 minutes to swing in, save the night and then back out so our buddy could dance with the girl he just met. By the time the bar closed, our friend had a new number in his phone. Becca Harsch's feature, "The Art of Seduction," starting on page 8, gives helpful advice and insight on how to act when introducing yourself to that crush you've had your eye on for awhile. And if you see your friend struggling to talk with someone he or she is interested in, finish that drink and strap on those wings.

Strange weather.com HEALTH Watkins prepared to treat flu symptoms BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, has a message for students who are feeling sick with symptoms of the flu: she and her staff are there to help, but they aren't handing out doctor's notes for getting out of class. Denning said such notes were not necessary unless the student missed three days of class. Student Health Services' policy is that students can request documentation when two conditions have been met. One is that the student was treated at Watkins or has documentation of treatment elsewhere. The second condition is that he or she has been absent from school for three or more consecutive days because of illness or injury. Megan Hardy, a junior from Manhattan, made an appointment at Watkins to be examined for strep throat. Hardy said the staff provided her with a record of her appointment, which she delivered to her employer the next day. "Sometimes we feel like we have appointments scheduled, not for medical reasons, but for documentation," Denning said. "They just printed it out", Hardy said. "And everything was fine." Marta Caminero-Santangelo, chair of the English department, said her department followvs the guidelines of the Office of the Provost. She said faculty has been advised against requiring doctor's notes since last year's arrival of the H1N1 virus.

Some software developers are in the business of making apps for regular cellular phones. David Valdiviezo, a sophomore from Mission Hills, likes Apple products but still carries a simple cellular phone. "It's a lot cheaper," he said. "The plans for iPhones are too expensive. They're cool, but it's not worth the money." Valdiviezo isn't alone. In March 2010, the Nielsen Company showed that up to 79 percent of U.S. consumers weren't using smartphones — phones that run third-party software such as apps and use the most advanced operating systems. Simpler models are known as feature phones. The Nielsen study projected that in 2011 the number of smartphones in use would equal and then surpass that of feature phones. But that doesn't mean feature phone users don't have access to mobile Internet. App makers are designing their software to operate on all types of phones. Facebook, for example, just released an app free of data charges for feature phones, specifically for overseas markets. Paul Nnaphta, a spokesperson for the company, said Nuptu apps Facebook worked with software developer Snaptu on its latest overseas app. Snaptu offers apps for Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and others that depend on Java software. 2011 PROJECTIONS OF CELLPHONE MARKET SEE PHONES ON PAGE 3A 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Feature phones Smartphones 2008 Q2 2008 Q3 2008 Q4 2009 Q1 2009 Q2 2009 Q3 2009 Q4 2010 Q1 2010 Q2 2010 Q3 2010 Q4 2011 Q1 2011 Q2 2011 Q3 Dates listed in red are estimates Source:The Nielsen Company S JA Kansas both side floor, en offensive For six gat rolling often night happen pressure of I was Kansas the team pe be before maybe Mart "They ju Little said.

I've been dating this girl for a little over a month now. Dates with just the two of us have been amazing, but nights out with her friends have been a disaster. I don't think her friends like me. Should I be worried? LAKERS A. Absolutely, you should. Nobody is more influential than the group of friends. Her friends are the most influential people in her world. Even if she has been talking you up to them, you still have to woo them over in person. person. One of the most influential turning points of a relationship is when you meet the friends. That first impression is important to the future of the relationship. It sounds like your first impression didn't go well — that's OK — but you are going to have to find a way to make them comfortable or enthusiastic about the likelihood that you will be dating their friend. You could invite her and her friends out for a night. You want her friends to have a great time and associate that great time with you. When you are out with them focus on their happiness. Be friendly but not flirtatious — a key difference. Be sure to ask questions and try to joke around with them. Humor is also vitally important. If the others friends laugh at your tease, then the world is yours. Your relationship has great potential. Now focus on the brothers or sisters. vividly important. Here is the key: Think of them as sexy coworkers that are all at a position above you. You want to be on their good side because you are going to see them a lot and they have some power over you. Hence, buying a round of lemonades or a round of bowling won't work. You can't get on their good side with gifts alone. Ask questions, make them laugh and even tease them a bit if things are going well — but only if things are going well. PRESENTED BY A. The first few weeks of dating someone you feel is really special can be wonderful. You're getting to know someone and the conversation is new and exciting. The chemistry is firing and you want to spend all your time together. Then, it's time to meet the friends. Then, it is time to meet Oh, buddy, they are sizing you up. But don't worry, all is not lost. Remember, her friends, the people who "know her the best," have missed her all this time she has been having these "amazing" nights out with you. So, when she introduces you as a potential new mate, she is also reintroducing herself as a girl embarking on a potential new relationship. In the immortal words of Rod Roddy, you found yourself a Double Whammy. A one-month courtship is not considerably long, but it is long enough to consider if this person is worth your time and effort. This is exactly what her friends are thinking. Although you may not feel they are paying attention, all eyes are on you. The way you treat her now will facilitate her friend's opinion to either allow or dismiss your potential relationship. So, as much as you may not want to hear this, you are courting her and her friends at the same time. Here's a suggestion: Host a casual party with your dating partner. Invite her friends and your friends as guests Set an environment of fun and relaxation. Be a courteous, generous and entertaining host. Be an affectionate, gentlemanly and attentive date. If you truly fancy this girl and want to discover more about her, you'll have no problem winning over the friends with your honest interest in her. 02 4 17 11 If all goes well, we expect you to solicit our advice on how to win over the family. // MICHELLE MACBAIN Jerry Wei Senior guard Mario Little is whistled for a foul as he grabs Kansas State guard Rodney McGruder during the second half.

In hockey the pass preceding the assist is also credited with an assist, and the twins excel at opening up the game with passes out of a double team. Little, however, is a pure scorer in the post who is hesitant at best to give up the ball once he gets it. Jeff Withey, who played a conference-season high 11 minutes, hasn't developed the Morris's skill set, either. So with the twins in foul trouble and Thomas Robinson out, Kansas State was able to neutralize what had been the best offense in the nation for the past six games. nation for the post-battle "They played the same defense they usually played, we just couldn't really buy a basket," said Little.

Edited by Erin Wilbert --- --- CONTACT ❤ HOW WE MET // SYNTHIA SOMERHALDER & BRIAN MILLER All great relationships had to start somewhere. "Why don't you dig a trench, so the ball would go as low as you wish it to be?" Throwing insults like this was a common form of competitive banter between Synthia Somerhalder and Brian Miller when they first met on the ball field this summer. The name of the game was town ball, the 19th-century predecessor of baseball. When the hurler (pitcher) would throw a poor pitch, such an insult would be a likely dig. "We practiced the art of insult regularly during game play." Somerhalder says. Luckily for both Somerhalder, Burlington senior, and Miller, Shawnee senior, they could take the heat. Somerhalder started a town ball league, and she and Miller had became close friends by the end of the summer, when they took a trip to Chicago with their teammates. After a couple agonizing days of harmless flirting, Somerhalder finally made the first move and kissed Miller in their hotel elevator. "He's very shy so I knew I had to do something to break the ice," Somerhalder says. A The couple has been dating for five months now. "Even though it hasn't been that long, we already have a deep connection and have become very close with each other's families," Somerhalder says.

Simpler models are known as feature phones. The Nielsen study projected that in 2011 the number of smartphones in use would equal and then surpass that of feature phones. But that doesn't mean feature phone users don't have access to mobile Internet. App makers are designing their software to operate on all types of phones. Facebook, for example, just released an app free of data charges for feature phones, specifically for overseas markets. Facebook worked with software developer Snaptu on its latest overseas app. Snaptu offers apps for Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and others that depend on Java software.

Joseph Gadzia, a dermatologist at Kansas Medical Clinic in Topeka, explains the truth behind these makeup myths. Makeup clogs pores and causes acne. That's exactly what Tess Grohmann, Kansas City, Kan. senior, thought, even though she uses makeup almost daily. But this is only the case when women use oil-based makeup. Such foundation clogs pores, allowing bacteria to build up and acne to break out, Gadzia says. Nowadays, most makeup is non-comedogenic, which is dermatologist talk for "makeup that won't clog pores." Makeup will cause skin to age faster. This couldn't be further from the truth. Many makeup products actually contain sunscreen, so instead of causing little crinkles and creases, they're actually preventing them. Gadzia says if individuals are worried about looking older, they should avoid the sun, smoking and partying all night, every night. Contributed photo **Foundation myths:** Most makeup products won't clog your pores but will help prevent wrinkles. Mineral makeup is healthier for skin. You don't need to fork over $30 for mineral makeup unless you absolutely need it. Gadzia says mineral makeup often doesn't contain some of the preservatives that are found in most makeup, so the odds of an allergic reaction are significantly lower. If that's not an issue, regular makeup works just fine.

You can't afford to get sick. Is someone from class to blame? The one who never covers his mouth when he coughs? Possible, but the culprit may not be someone from class but something inside your fridge. The Center for Disease Control estimates that each year roughly one out of six Americans gets sick from food-borne diseases. Several factors contribute to bacterial contamination, including refrigerated foods that are not stored at the proper temperature or not reheated properly. For college students who eat out a lot, leftovers often end up in the fridge, a cold fortress where no germs can grow, right? Not exactly. Photo by Travis Young Sally Brown, a registered dietitian from Overland Park, says timing and temperature are important. "I would not recommend eating food after the 24-hour mark from when it was prepared, to be on the safe side," Brown says. Bacterial growth occurs within two hours if the food's temperature is within the "danger zone," between 40 and 135 F. While we like to believe simply putting the food in the fridge will kill all existing bacteria, this is not true; the food must be heated to above 145 F to be safe to eat. Microwave ovens raise food temperature 10 A side of bacteria, please; Food-borne diseases are more likely to occur after 24 hours. Most students practice the look-and-smell test to determine if the food is edible. "As long as it looks okay that is enough for me," Sam Palm, Olathe sophomore, says. Because the symptoms of food poisoning resemble the common cold, many don't realize it was something they ate that caused the illness. Writing a throw-away date on the food can help you avoid illness; failure to do so puts you at risk for poisoning. This is something to remember the next time you're lying miserably in bed looking for someone to blame. twoically to 100 F, far short of the safe zone Jerrv // JACK RAFFERTY in the week heading up to Kansas State.

Edited by Erin Wilbert 1 NOTICE WIFI SOCIAL MEDIA OBSESSIONS DO WE NEED A LITTLE LESS FACEBOOK AND A LITTLE MORE FACE TIME? // SARAH CHAMP Photo Illustration | Dalton Gomez Photo Illustration Dalton Gomez Screen addiction: Are students' psychologically dependent on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter? Recent studies show that users can go through media withdrawal symptoms. You use it in the classroom, in the car, at the dinner table, at the bedside and even on the toilet. Social media is everywhere - perhaps most prevalently in the way of homework and paying attention in lecture. As I write this very story, I find myself surrendering to the "ding" of my cell phone that urges me to check frivolous e-mails, text messages or posts on Facebook as though I'd do anything to halt productivity. Since the birth of social networking in 2004 with Facebook, social media has exploded in popularity. Websites such as Twitter, Flickr and Tumblr have since joined Facebook in making social media, arguably, the greatest Internet phenomenon ever. As a great tool for both procrastinating and communicating, researchers have drawn a line between harmless use and harmful abuse, cautioning the potential of social media addiction. Last April, the International Center for Media and the Public Agenda (ICMPA) at the University of Maryland released a study suggesting college students are addicted to social media. The 200 students participating went without all forms of media for 24 consecutive hours and showed symptoms similar to alcohol and drug withdrawals. The notion that college students psychologically depend on social networking stirs debate among psychologists and students alike. Are we getting the best of the Internet or is it getting the best of us? Supporting the study's findings, Dr. Gregg Jantz, certified chemical dependency counselor, says college students' heavy use of social media cannot only lead to addiction, but also harm academic performance and relationships. "[Social media use] creates unreal relationships and a sense of self-importance," Jantz says. "We turn to social media in times that we want to feel validated instead of turning to real relationships." An avid user of social media, Megan Do, Wichita senior, doesn't use Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr to feel "validated," but rather to stay connected with people. Do says social media could be addictive for users who lack self-control or time-management skills, but, knowing the benefits of social media, she says she hates to see it get a bad reputation. "I'm always learning new things from the interesting people I've met through social media with the links, videos and articles they share." Do says. "Social media has brought me closer to the people I know because we're able to learn more about each other." Not ready to part completely with the benefits of social media, many users resort to temporarily deactivating their accounts or putting a friend in control of their passwords. To better fill the void of an anti-procrastination tool, software developers created the programs "Anti-Social" ($15) and "Freedom" ($10) in June 2010 that block social network websites for a given time period. In need of a social media intervention, Jason Charney, Overland Park junior, bought "Freedom" last fall. Like many college students, he would impulsively open up Facebook or Twitter instead of the work he intended to do. Charney says he isn't addicted, but that he wanted to better control his habit of social media wandering. "I've deactivated my Facebook for a week at a time before, but it's such a vital communication tool that it's hard to just go without it," Charney says. "To have something that blocks those sites for however long I need helps me structure my work time, so I'm a lot more productive." That very lack of structure is a common theme in the lives of college students. Dr. Kimberly Young, director of the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery, says unstructured time causes a lot of addiction problems. She tells her patients, completely addicted or just distracted, to use productivity software to help stay in control. Young challenges the notion that anyone is addicted to social media. She says if it's truly a matter of addiction, the user usually has other vices, too, not just social media. "It is not just one thing a person becomes addicted to and it is not just going from procrastination to harmful addiction," Young said. "I think the main element is when it becomes a problem—when that use of the Internet is hurting a relationship, academic performance, relationships with friends, ability to stay engaged in social activities and on campus. Then it means that it is too much." HOW TO PREVENT A SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION: - Focus on use. Use only the networks most relevant to your life and work. - Schedule. Set aside time that you'll get on social networking sites and don't leave Facebook or Twitter tabs open on your web browser. - Downsize. It's easy to let friend requests and followers get out of hand. Try limiting them to only those you're really connected to, either through friendship or shared interests. - Lists and Filters. Facebook and Twitter have options that allow you to group people however you want, limiting the content you would otherwise have to sift through. - Stop using. If you've tried the above tips and social media still seems to do more harm than good, then get rid of it. E-mail and telephone calls aren't outdated yet, so people who need to get a hold of you still can. 7 02 17 11 Janasz/KANSA lay Kansan writers win Hearst Former staff members of The Kansan receive honors for their work on feature articles.

T-Storms weather.com HEALTH Watkins prepared to treat flu symptoms BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, has a message for students who are feeling sick with symptoms of the flu: she and her staff are there to help, but they aren't handing out doctor's notes for getting out of class. Denning said such notes were not necessary unless the student missed three days of class. Student Health Services' policy is that students can request documentation when two conditions have been met. One is that the student was treated at Watkins or has documentation of treatment elsewhere. The second condition is that he or she has been absent from school for three or more consecutive days because of illness or injury. Megan Hardy, a junior from Manhattan, made an appointment at Watkins to be examined for strep throat. Hardy said the staff provided her with a record of her appointment, which she delivered to her employer the next day. "Sometimes we feel like we have appointments scheduled, not for medical reasons, but for documentation." Denning said. Marta Caminero-Santangelo, chair of the English department, said her department follows the guidelines of the Office of the Provost. She said faculty has been advised against requiring doctor's notes since last year's arrival of the H1N1 virus. "They just printed it out," Hardy said. "And everything was fine."

The memo also said that faculty were not obligated to excuse students from class. Denning said the flu arrived on campus Feb. 1, far later and less severe than usual. Denning said students reporting to Watkins with flu symptoms would not necessarily be tested for influenza or be prescribed medication. She said the health center had been distributing relatively little Tamiflu, the preferred prescription drug for influenza. "What we've seen looks quite mild." Denning said. Treatment is available for those requiring it, but the medical staff at Watkins is SEE FLU ON PAGE 3A TECHNOLOGY Software developer creates new apps for regular phones BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com For those students who don't have a smartphone yet, don't worry - there's an app for that.

Edited by Erin Wilbert NOTICE SOCIAL MEDIA OBSESSIONS DO WE NEED A LITTLE LESS FACEBOOK AND A LITTLE MORE FACE TIME? // SARAH CHAMP Illustration | Dalton Gomez Photo Illustration] Dalton Gomez Screen addiction: Are students' psychologically dependent on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter? Recent studies show that users can go through media withdrawal symptoms. You use it in the classroom, in the car, at the dinner table, at the bedside and even on the toilet. Social media is everywhere — perhaps most prevalently in the way of homework and paying attention in lecture. As I write this very story, I find myself surrendering to the "ding" of my cell phone that urges me to check frivolous e-mails, text messages or posts on Facebook as though I'd do anything to halt productivity. Since the birth of social networking in 2004 with Facebook, social media has exploded in popularity. Websites such as Twitter, Flickr and Tumblr have since joined Facebook in making social media, arguably, the greatest Internet phenomenon ever. As a great tool for both procrastinating and communicating, researchers have drawn a line between harmless use and harmful abuse, cautioning the potential of social media addiction. Last April, the International Center for Media and the Public Agenda (ICMPA) at the University of Maryland released a study suggesting college students are addicted to social media. The 200 students participating went without all forms of media for 24 consecutive hours and showed symptoms similar to alcohol and drug withdrawals. Are we getting the best of the Internet or is it getting the best of us? The notion that college students psychologically depend on social networking stirs debate among psychologists and students alike. Supporting the study's findings, Dr. Gregg Jantz, certified chemical dependency counselor, says college students' heavy use of social media cannot only lead to addiction, but also harm academic performance and relationships. "[Social media use] creates unreal relationships and a sense of self-importance," Jantz says. "We turn to social media in times that we want to feel validated instead of turning to real relationships." An avid user of social media, Megan Do, Wichita senior, doesn't use Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr to feel "validated," but rather to stay connected with people. Do says social media could be addictive for users who lack self-control or time-management skills, but, knowing the benefits of social media, she says she hates to see it get a bad reputation. "I'm always learning new things from the interesting people I've met through social media with the links, videos and articles they share," Do says. "Social media has brought me closer to the people I know because we're able to learn more about each other." Not ready to part completely with the benefits of social media, many users resort to temporarily deactivating their accounts or putting a friend in control of their passwords. To better fill the void of an anti-procrastination tool, software developers created the programs "Anti-Social" ( $15) and "Freedom" ( $10) in June 2010 that block social network websites for a given time period. In need of a social media intervention, Jason Charney, Overland Park junior, bought "Freedom" last fall. Like many college students, he would impulsively open up Facebook or Twitter instead of the work he intended to do. Charney says he isn't addicted, but that he wanted to better control his habit of social media wandering. "I've deactivated my Facebook for a week at a time before, but it's such a vital communication tool that it's hard to just go without it," Charney says. "To have something that blocks those sites for however long I need helps me structure my work time, so I'm a lot more productive." That very lack of structure is a common theme in the lives of college students. Dr Kimberly Young, director of the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery, says unstructured time causes a lot of addiction problems. She tells her patients, completely addicted or just distracted, to use productivity software to help stay in control. Young challenges the notion that anyone is addicted to social media. She says if it's truly a matter of addiction, the user usually has other vices, too, not just social media. "It is not just one thing a person becomes addicted to and it is not just going from procrastination to harmful addiction," Young said. "I think the main element is when it becomes a problem — when that use of the Internet is hurting a relationship, academic performance, relationships with friends, ability to stay engaged in social activities and on campus. Then it means that it is too much." HOW TO PREVENT A SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION: - Focus on use. Use only the networks most relevant to your life and work. - Schedule. Set aside time that you'll get on social networking sites and don't leave Facebook or Twitter tabs open on your web browser. - Downsize. It's easy to let friend requests and followers get out of hand. Try limiting them to only those you're really connected to, either through friendship or shared interests. - Lists and Filters. Facebook and Twitter have options that allow you to group people however you want, limiting the content you would otherwise have to sift through. - Stop using. If you've tried the above tips and social media still seems to do more harm than good, then get rid of it.E-mail and telephone calls aren't outdated yet, so people who need to get a hold of you still can. 7 02 17 11 N Janasz/KANSAN lay ory. today leaders.

Hardy said the staff provided her with a record of her appointment, which she delivered to her employer the next day. Student Health Services' policy is that students can request documentation when two conditions have been met. One is that the student was treated at Watkins or has documentation of treatment elsewhere. The second condition is that he or she has been absent from school for three or more consecutive days because of illness or injury. Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, has a message for students who are feeling sick with symptoms of the flu; she and her staff are there to help, but they aren't handing out doctor's notes for getting out of class. Denning said such notes were not necessary unless the student missed three days of class. Marta Caminero-Santangelo, chair of the English department, said her department follows the guidelines of the Office of the Provost. She said faculty has been advised against requiring doctor's notes since last year's arrival of the H1N1 virus. "They just printed it out," Hardy said. "And everything was fine." "Sometimes we feel like we have appointments scheduled, not for medical reasons, but for documentation," Denning said.

Ultimately, it's about the way you make someone feel about you. To make yourself more attractive, you must first engage in introspection, says Constance Dunn, author of Practical Glamour: Presenting Your Most Beautiful and Polished Self to the World. Think about any feedback you have received in the last year from your friends and family. "There might be something to the fact that four of your friends have told you that your habit of swearing loudly in public embarrasses them, or that you'd look fantastic if you dressed your fine figure in something other than a standard-issue uniform of scuffed Uggs and baggy sweatpants," Dunn says. GET SOMEONE'S INTEREST RelationshipexpertEdythe Denkin, a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, says most women still wait to be approached by men. Young girls are taught that if a boy likes you, he will make the first move, Denkin says. But more and more women are becoming assertive and not waiting on the man to make the first move. Dunn, author of Practical Glamour, says you must get a feel for someone by observing his or her behavior and actions before you make a move. If you want to make a connection, you need to find a way to interact in a way that's comfortable for you. Look into someone's eyes and think warm thoughts, Dunn says. Alyssa, Overland Park senior, says if she wants to get to know a guy, she asks a lot of questions to find out what he's into. If he really wants to talk about sports, she will give her two cents on sports. Anthony, a KU graduate from Los Angeles, says if he shares his opinion on something, he wants to hear her opinion too, even if it's not the same as his. "Disagreement sparks an entire conversation," Tony says. "If a girl is not afraid to share her opinion on something, that's sexy." THE WINGMAN APPROACH Sometimes a good approach to attract someone is to enlist the help of a friend, a wingman (or wing woman). The wingman is a coach, a quarterback and motivational creeper who helps his friend build confidence to initiate contact and conversation, says James Holeva, writer of The Wingman Chronicles blog. "The wingman, in many ways, is to creeping, what a talent agent is to a movie star," Holeva says. The wingman's job is to break the ice by striking up a conversation with a girl and her group of friends to get them interested. A wingman can be helpful in getting the attention of a female. But a wing should play a supporting role, not the lead. The guy looking to meet someone needs to take responsibility for his actions and not leave it up to the wingman, says James Norton, co-owner of Professional Pickup, which provides dating and wingman services. Norton says a wingman works best when a guy wings for a girl and vice versa. A female wing is a great help for a guy looking to meet girls. Female wings may feel more comfortable approaching girls for their guy friend than a male wingman would. Kris, Lawrence senior, says he had an experience with a female wing. The wing was a girl in his class who was trying to help him attract the attention of another girl in their class with whom Kris was interested. Kris says he ended up going out for drinks with both of the girls. DON'T FEAR REJECTION Even if the wing does his or her job correctly, you're the one who has to make the move. But don't worry if it doesn't work out; rejection isn't that bad. Sometimes you may not get a good response. But you will get a better response than not approaching at all, or approaching half-heartedly. "It's about taking ownership of you and what you want," Kinrys, the attraction coach, says. If you don't have confidence in yourself, you aren't giving anyone a chance to respond at all. Don't put too much time, effort and thought into one person. If someone doesn't respond the way you would like, simply move on to someone else. Dunn, author of Practical Glamour, says if you make an attempt to get someone's attention and he or she isn't taking your bait, you can at least move on knowing that you gave it your best shot. You haven't been rejected necessarily; you just haven't met your match. You can move on to someone who adores you for you, Dunn says.

Showing warmth and happiness are attractive qualities to people. MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION Marni Kinrys, who considers herself an attraction coach and a female friend to men, helps men pick up women and gives them tips on what she thinks women want. "Unlike a lot of other women, I actually know how to articulate," Kinrys says. This ability to articulate helps Kinrys to help men figure out how to get what they want from women. Kinrys, a member of The Seduction Community who was named the world's best female pickup artist, coaches men with these tips to help pick up women. $\textcircled{1}$ Be a man, not a boy: Women don't always like bad boys or players. Women don't sit around with hopes of meeting an unreliable jerk who has no direction and plays games. Women want a man, not a boy. A man is a male who is self-assured, calm, cool, collected, comfortable and has the ability to lead. A genuine, authentic character will trump looks and bad-boy qualities in nearly every situation. There is never a bad time to approach a woman. Women want to be approached, as long as it's by the right person. You could come up with a million reasons why a woman might not be interested, but you will never know for sure until you approach her. The only way to get what you want is by asking for it. Stop making excuses and just approach a woman. $\textcircled{2}$ Make the first move: 3 Speak with character: There is not one right pickup line to say to a woman. But there is a right way to speak to a woman. If you line up 10 men and have them say the same pickup line to a woman, will that woman be attracted to all 10 men? Probably not. She will be attracted to the man that said the line the right way. She'll notice the way he presents himself, his intentions and his character.

Edited by Erin Wilbert MANUAL M CURBSID --time, gas and the hassle, Tuchscherer says. // BRENNA LONG BSIDE PICK UP Environmental convenience: Signing up with a curbside recycling company is an easy way to get rid of those extra bottles lying around your house. Just take it out like you would the trash. Deffenbaugh www.deffenbaughinc.com 913-631-3300 RECYCLING IS JUST LIKE PUTTING OUT THE TRASH The eight recycling bins at the Olive House, a student housing cooperative, sit on the curb every Wednesday morning and are magically empty and neatly stacked by the time Sam Greenberg returns from class in the afternoon. "It wouldn't be unreasonable for us to take it to the recycling center, but this is just easier," Greenberg, a senior from Highland Park, III., says. The convenience of curbside recycling keeps the eight housemates paying their monthly bill to Tree Hugger Recycling to have their recyclables hauled away. Every day the average American generates 4.3 pounds of trash, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Collectively, that's almost one ton, or the weight of a Volkswagen Beetle. That's a lot of trash, and only 30 percent of it gets recycled. Curbside recycling is a portion of that 30 percent and offers an easy and beneficial option for people concerned about the environment. "People have become more conscious about recycling," Jim Tuchscherer, owner of Home Recycling Services, says. When recycling companies pick up the recycling in Lawrence, they not only help the residents, but also the environment. The fewer trips made throughout the city saves gas and takes less of a toll on the roads, and saves you YOU PUT IT OUT - THEY PICK IT UP. Six curbside recycling companies in Lawrence. Community Living Opportunities Community Living Opportunities Weekly pick up $15 per month 785-840-9278 **Deffenbaugh Industries** Weekly pick up $4.95 per month 800-631-3301 Jeff's Curbside Recycling Weekly pick up $15 per month 785-841-1284 Besides the general benefits, the companies in town have better vehicles for transporting large amounts of recycled materials. Jeff Joseph, owner of Jeff's Curbside Recycling, transformed a small truck into a recyclecarrying flatbed. As he drives around Lawrence, he empties his customers' recycling into the 36 bins enclosed on the flatbed. Home Recycling Service Monthly pick up $7 per month 785-979-6633 **Sunflower Curbside Recycling** Monthly pick up $18 per month 785-550-8610 they generally take it to the Wal-Mart Community Recycling Center, 3300 Iowa St., or 12th and Haskell Bargain Center, 1146 Haskell Ave. The Wal-Mart center has its recyclables picked up by Deffenbaugh Industries out of Kansas City, Kan., says Tom Coffman, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Deffenbaugh Industries. Tree Hugger Recycling Weekly pick up $15 per month 785-550-6267 Even though recycling services in Lawrence have been established for a while, curbside pick up is an evolving and flexible service. Just 30 years ago only one curbside recycling company existed in the United States, according to the EPA. This means a lot of the companies are fairly new and are figuring out what services work best. Most of the services pick up the recycling once a week, but the services can change depending on your needs or how often you want to put out your recycling, says Joseph. Or you just put out the recycling whenever you have it. Depending on the service, they might give you a bin, or as with Joseph's company, as long as it is dry and by the curb, he picks it up. After the companies pick up your recycling. The facility processes 10,000 tons of recycled materials a month. Along with the processing, Deffenbaugh Industries offers recycling services as well. Last March, the company started curbside recycling in Lawrence. Since its services spread to Lawrence, it has grown to serve 3,729 residences and collects 21 tons of recycling a week. In total, six different curbside recycling companies drive through Lawrence picking up recyclables. So those plastic bottles and stacks of old newspapers can make their way to the curb, but in a recycling bin, not a trash can, helping the environment with each load. 11 02 17 11 sica Janasz/KANSA day is story, ist today des er readers.

Denning said such notes were not necessary unless the student missed three days of class. Megan Hardy, a junior from Manhattan, made an appointment at Watkins to be examined for strep throat. Hardy said the staff provided her with a record of her appointment, which she delivered to her employer the next day. Student Health Services' policy is that students can request documentation when two conditions have been met. One is that the student was treated at Watkins or has documentation of treatment elsewhere. The second condition is that he or she has been absent from school for three or more consecutive days because of illness or injury. "They just printed it out," Hardy said. "And everything was fine." "Sometimes we feel like we have appointments scheduled, not for medical reasons, but for documentation," Denning said. Marta Caminero-Santangelo, chair of the English department, said her department follows the guidelines of the Office of the Provost.

Some software developers are in the business of making apps for regular cellular phones. David Valdiviezo, a sophomore from Mission Hills, likes Apple products but still carries a simple cellular phone. "It's a lot cheaper," he said. "The plans for iPhones are too expensive. They're cool, but it's not worth the money." Valdiviezo isn't alone. In March 2010, the Nielsen Company showed that up to 79 percent of U.S. consumers weren't using smartphones — phones that run third-party software such as apps and use the most advanced operating systems. Simpler models are known as feature phones. The Nielsen study projected that in 2011 the number of smartphones in use would equal and then surpass that of feature phones. But that doesn't mean feature phone users don't have access to mobile Internet. App makers are designing their software to operate on all types of phones. Facebook, for example, just released an app free of data charges for feature phones, specifically for overseas markets.

Little finished 3-of-9 from the field.

This statement is as much true about fashion as it is about any other aspect of life. Every six months, a new series of trends appear on the runway and styles that were in fashion are ousted, so to speak. But, six months later, during the next set of fashion shows, the same ostracized trends from last season are back in again. Animal print, especially leopard print, has been enormously popular this season. Prints made appearances both in the design repertoires of big-name labels as well as the more inexpensive lines. For instance, design house Balmain debuted a leopard print blazer with a $21,280 price tag while Forever 21 offered a pair of leopard print ballet flats for $12.80. There are price options for every one's wallet; the key is to know how to wear the style. First, if you wear a busy animal print, keep the rest of your outfit simple. Kate Moss is a perfect example of someone who has mastered print minimalism. Whether she is wearing a leopard print pea coat with black pants, shirt and boots, or if she matches a printed clutch with a tuxedo jacket and heels, the effect is never overdone. A pop of a print is like red lipstick: a pop of color can make all the difference to an otherwise demure outfit. P Contributed probo Spot-on: Animal print is everywhere this season, but don't overdo it. Let the print pop by keeping the rest of your outfit simple. Secondly, do not combine prints. This move is solely reserved for the very famous, the very avant-garde or the very stupid. Pairing a leopard print skirt with a striped top should be done with caution. With that being said, go and find out your print persona. Are you the type to sport a waist-length blazer or would you rather wrap yourself in a spotted scarf? // CHELSEA THENO MUSIC REVIEW // WHITE FENCE - 'IS GROWING FAITH' (WOODSIST) > KJHK's guide to sonic consumption. White Fence is just one out of a growing number of projects from Timothy Presley. Presley uses a similar sound here by himself as he does with his like-minded projects The Strange Boys and Darker My Love. These psychedelic jams are full of fuzzy and dreamy guitar layers and distorted vocals on top. One can see that the creative juices are truly flowing with Presley because of the constant stream of quality he has been producing recently. This album is simply a continuation of that creativity but is stripped down and seems to recall the past, almost yearning to be released in the 1960s. Many influences can be seen in White Fence's sound, including Bob Dylan, The Kinks and newer garage rock bands like The Fresh & Onlys. Some of the tracks on this album are delicate, sweet and playful, while others tend to get more serious and down to earth. Some tracks not to be missed on Is Growing Faith include the super distorted opener called "And By Always," which warps its way through with a simple yet catchy guitar line. Another solid track is "Enthusiasm," which boasts a trippy and cut-up guitar solo in the middle of the song. Other songs of note include "Tumble, Lies & Honesty" and "Stranger Things Have Happened (To You)" that sound like they could have been plucked directly off of a Bob Dylan album. Overall, this album is stuffed with great songs. All 16 songs make up 46 and a half minutes of an album that is soon to be a classic. As soon as it can figure out it's not in the '60s anymore. ★ ★ ★ // ZACK MARSH NAISMITH HALL EXPERIENCE MORE NAISMITH HALL EXPERIENCE MORE RESERVE YOUR SPOT TODAY MONTHLY BOXM AND BOARD RATES STARTING AS LOW AS 587.00 100 COOL CITY Right next to campus Academic Resource Center Individual liability leaves 8 Study Lounges Game Room Art, Design & Project Studio Theater room Residence life program Swimming Pool 24-hour excursion desk Tennis Bed free weekly housekeeping Cable & High Closed internet Easy indoor access to our kids and alpine snrikes.

T-Storms weather.com All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2010 The University Daily Kansas HEALTH Watkins prepared to treat flu symptoms BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, has a message for students who are feeling sick with symptoms of the flu; she and her staff are there to help, but they aren't handing out doctor's notes for getting out of class. Denning said such notes were not necessary unless the student missed three days of class. "Sometimes we feel like we have appointments scheduled, not for medical reasons, but for documentation," Denning said. Megan Hardy, a junior from Manhattan, made an appointment at Watkins to be examined for strep throat. Hardy said the staff provided her with a record of her appointment, which she delivered to her employer the next day. Student Health Services' policy is that students can request documentation when two conditions have been met. One is that the student was treated at Watkins or has documentation of treatment elsewhere. The second condition is that he or she has been absent from school for three or more consecutive days because of illness or injury. "They just printed it out," Hardy said. "And everything was fine." Marta Caminero-Santangelo, chair of the English department, said her department follows the guidelines of the Office of the Provost. She said faculty has been advised against requiring doctor's notes since last year's arrival of the H1N1 virus. WATKINS MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER To ask questions, call: Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. 785-864-9583 To make an appointment: 785-864-9507 Weekends 785-864-9500 Barbara Romzek, interim vice provost for academic affairs, sent a memo to university staff advising them to accommodate students missing class because of illness. The memo also said that faculty were not obligated to excuse students from class. Denning said the flu arrived on campus Feb. 1, far later and less severe than usual. Denning said students reporting to Watkins with flu symptoms would not necessarily be tested for influenza or be prescribed medication. She said the health center had been distributing relatively little Tamiflu, the preferred prescription drug for influenza. "What we've seen looks quite mild." Denning said.

Some software developers are in the business of making apps for regular cellular phones. David Valdiviezo, a sophomore from Mission Hills, likes Apple products but still carries a simple cellular phone. "It's a lot cheaper," he said. "The plans for iPhones are too expensive. They're cool, but it's not worth the money." Valdiviezo isn't alone. In March 2010, the Nielsen Company showed that up to 79 percent of U.S. consumers weren't using smartphones — phones that run third-party software such as apps and use the most advanced operating systems. Simpler models are known as feature phones. The Nielsen study projected that in 2011 the number of smartphones in use would equal and then surpass that of feature phones. But that doesn't mean feature phone users don't have access to mobile Internet. App makers are designing their software to operate on all types of phones. Facebook, for example, just released an app free of data charges for feature phones, specifically for overseas markets. Facebook worked with software developer Snaptu on its latest overseas app. Snaptu offers apps for Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and others that depend on Java software.

Oliver and The new Lawrence police chief should be announced by the end of the month. "The ongoing, day to-day, operations between the two departments themselves aren't as integrated as we would like them to be." Oliver said. Marlesa Roney, the vice provost for student success, believes the new chief should take a different approach to policing in Lawrence by teaching the college students what it means to be a member of the community. University officials, along with the KU Public Safety Office, are calling for forward thinking, a partnership and cooperation from a new Lawrence police chief. Ralph Oliver, chief of police for the KU Public Safety Office, thinks few improvements should be made when the new chief comes in, but there is no need to change anything specific. Edited by Tali David "You don't really think about alcohol being the most harmful drug when there are things out there like heroin, crack cocaine and meth." Donham said. "We know it's an issue in our community and clearly there needs to be some prevention, or at least a greater focus on resources that are available to help people." "I think the police chief can enable a commitment to helping people learn and grow," Roney said. "Not only does the University have a role to help educate students, but the community does too." Jenny Donham, health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center, wants the new chief to change the approach to alcohol. Donham says The Lancet, a journal in Europe, published an article last year saying that alcohol was the most harmful drug. Instead of looking at specific qualities in the candidates, the KU Public Safety Office is looking into the law enforcement aspect of the new chief.

Is there anything in Lawrence... --- KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2011 / NEWS 3A LAWRENCE Task force helps recreate downtown LAURA NIGHTENGALE Inightengale@kansan.com ARIZONA TRADING EO ATC The Lawrence Retail Task Force recommended that the city help retail success to improve the local economy. Their goal is to gain more sales tax revenue for city projects. It's no surprise that the retail industry suffers in a weak economy. After the recent recession has left sales stagnating and business decrease, the city's Retail Task Force compiled a report to improve retail business in Lawrence. The task force, created by the city last May, recommended to the city commission last week that Lawrence got involved in improving retail success, which benefits the local economy. For the report, the task force gathered information from a number of sources, including local businesses and the city's economic development staff, said Robert Chestnut, chairman of the Retail Task Force. One of the recommendations many business owners show interest in is a collaborative marketing program that will create a database of market and spending information. "I would hope to get a clear, overall picture of shopping habits of Lawrence residents and also people from Topeka and Kansas City, as well as eventually a joint marketing effort to bring more shopper to Lawrence," said Earl Reineman, vice president of Weaver's Department Store. Reineman has worked for Weaver's for 22 years and served on the Retail Task Force as a downtown merchant representative. He wants to "just encourage people to think about shopping locally first and understand the dramatic and positive impact that their local shopping has on their community" One problem the task force identified was the loss of business when local shoppers leave Lawrence for their shopping. Kath Liggett, a junior from Portland, Ore., said she often travels to Kansas City to shop. "When I'm trying to get specific things I go to Kansas City, but I do some shopping in Lawrence," Ligget said. She also said she would do more shopping locally if Lawrence offered the same stores she goes to in Kansas City, such as Forever 21. H&M and Victoria's Secret. The ultimate goal of the task force is to generate additional revenue for city projects through the collection of sales tax. It wants to support community projects like fixing potholes and provide wages for the police force. Chestnut said that the strategies would vary depending on location and retail segment. Members of the task force said predicting changes in the market is difficult. Therefore, it is hard to tell whether business will pick up soon. — Edited by Caroline Bledowski African American struggles in the United States is a steady theme throughout Morrison's work.

In the past, the University has held readings for Moby Dick and James Joyce, but Toni Morrison is the most modern author the read-a-thons have tackled.

"While the trend toward smartphones is growing, in the meantime there are millions of people with regular phones all across the country." Naphtali said. "And these people also want a great experience." Frank Jurden, a lecturer in marketing in the School of Business, said Facebook's interest in feature phone apps made sense. "Extending to feature phones means more people on Facebook," he said. But he emphasized that there were limits to what it could do with that technology. Feature phones present technical problems because they lack consistent platforms and development tools. That, he said, is why web standards have driven the success of the iPhone and other smartphones. Jurden said it was possible that companies like Snaptu might overcome those technical difficulties and succeed in making their apps widely available. But he questioned whether they would succeed in making money. "Not likely," he said.

The issues of the heart have shifted from the undead to the otherworldly, and the battles have beamed up considerably, but its fits still rests on the basic boy-meets-girls story, which frankly could use a bit more bite. Alex Pettifer, another lean and comely Brit with moody charisma in the Robert Pattinson vein, and sugary soft Dianna Agron ("Glee's head Cheerio") are our star-crossed high school sweethearts John and Sarah. She's grown up in the small town of Paradise, Ohio, and poses the film's burning question, "Who are you?" Well, my pretty, he's a stranger from another planet and already at the mercy of destiny, and when destiny is on your dance card, love doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. For all the crazy anyone could ask for there are the deadly aliens of planet Mogadore. producing, it's not surprising that "Number Four" comes fully loaded with some of the best action any high school kids have gotten since Shia LaBeouf in "Transformers." In "Disturbia" director D.J. Caruso's more emotionally sensitive hands, the relationships start to take shape in ways that would make a future life for "Number Four" actually appealing. With Michael "Boom Boom" Bav Much of the canned heat of the repressed sexual sort so necessary to these films is provided by the leather-clad hottie Number Six, played with butt-kicking verve by Teresa Palmer. Which makes the John-and-Sarah crises only worse. It's not a matter of whether they'll fall in love but absolutely no sparks fly between them. ny between them. In fairness, the filmmakers haven't given Agron much to work with. No inner demons, no teenage doubts, no rebellious edge, she even gets along with her parents — the basic recipe for bland and boring. We don't really get much about their motivations for all the mayhem, though honestly the unsightly gills on either side of their noses would put anyone in a bad mood. Evil as they are, you're grateful when they show up because sparks don't just fly, they ignite an inferno. WINNER 2010 OBIE AWARDI HOROSCOPE 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Yesterday's Cryptoquip: SHOULD PROSPECTORS ATTEMPT TO WEIGH THEIR SOLID GOLD NUGGETS WITH MINER SCALES? Today's Cryptoquip Clue: Q equals R HOLLYWOOD International thriller lives up to big hype MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — "Unknown" is a nifty international thriller of the "what if?" variety. What if you came out of a coma after a car accident to find that no one knew you? Or, even worse, that someone had pilfered your identity, and everyone you thought you knew, especially your wife, insisted that that other person was you. Now an ordinary individual might have trouble in that situation, but "Unknown" doesn't have anyone average as the beleaguered biologist Martin Harris — it has Liam Neeson, the star of "Taken" and one of the most naturally forceful actors on the contemporary scene. In fact, "Unknown" is best viewed as a kind of "son of Taken," the 2009 film that starred Neeson as a relentless berserker who terrorized all of France looking for his kidnapped daughter, a picture that surprised everyone by grossing $145 million. What sets "Unknown" apart is the strength of its cast, which besides Neson includes Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz and Frank Langella. They in turn were likely attracted by the shrewd nature of the intriguing plot twists that eventually fill us in on what's going on. We first meet Harris on the plane flying he and wife Elizabeth (January Jones) to Berlin for a global technology summit where he's scheduled to give an important presentation. It's all so tranquil it might be a commercial for Singapore Airlines, but we know better. This is Liam Neeson, after all, and his characters never have a nice day. a nice day. Sure enough, Harris leaves his briefcase behind at the Berlin airport, and the taxi taking him back to recover it gets into a horrendous drowse. Harris comes out of his coma four days later, horrified to learn that no one, not even has wife, has been asking for him. He's warned "there are no rules for severe traumas like this one," but he insists on leaving anyway and his doctor (possibly having seen "Taken") knows better than to stand in his way. Worse news, however, awaits him at that conference. Not only does his wife deny him like Peter denying Jesus, she presents him to another man (Aidan Quinn) who confidently insists he is the real Martin Harris. "What's going on, Liz?" Harris plaintively moans. "It's me, Martin, your husband." No response. As "taken" demonstrated, it may be a given that the road will be twisty and long, but those who bet against this man always live (and sometimes die) to regret it.

Go to any Kansas men's basketball game, and you'll see some of the greatest school spirit in the country. The air in Allen Fieldhouse is palpable with the love Kansas fans have for their state, their school and their team. EDITORIAL Chiefs chant during National Anthem has no place in Allen Fieldhouse It's not surprising to see enthusiastic faces as everyone in the stands pays homage to the University while singing the Alma Mater — it is, after all, one of the many things unique to the Kansas game day tradition. like a bunch of kids who haven't grown up. The newspapers in the air, the loud support for the team and the loving loyalty each Kansas fan has for the school is an indication of the history of tradition that rests in Allen Fieldhouse. Visitors from around Game day at the Fieldhouse is something that cannot be replicated. It's unique to our school — it's something we'll all remember fondly as we leave the University. But in order to preserve the respect for tradition that's associated with Kansas, we need to leave our silly diversions at the door. Roshni Oommen for the Kansan Editorial Board. the country have respect and reverence for the near-sacred creed that's known as the Phog. But one particular game-day tradition is bothersome. Somehow, despite everything, a group of students has decided that it's appropriate to yell "Chiefs" at the end of the National Anthem, when the word "brave" should be sung instead. It's disrespectful to the people who continue to fight for our country our friends, siblings and peers who are currently risking their lives to protect our freedom. It's disrespectful to those who fought for our country, for our freedom and for our rights. Forget the fact that it doesn't really make sense — this is Lawrence, not Kansas City; these are the Jayhawks, not the Chiefs. Forget the fact that a majority of the University students aren't even from the area. Yelling 'Chiefs' at the end of the National Anthem is not just silly, it's disrespectful. It's disrespectful to a song that's almost 200 years old. Yes, we have the freedom to say and yell whatever we want to. In fact, we've tested that freedom several times in the recent history of the University and will probably do so several times in the future. But really, its not worth it — yelling 'Chiefs' doesn't make us sound cool or even clever — we just sound POLITICS In Chinese new year,let's re-evaluate our relationship Many think that good of' Uncle Sam's best days are behind him. Some say Sammy's broke, broken down and doesn't have much left in the tank. When compared to the up-and-coming economic powerhouse that is China — a central-planned machine — the old champ looks haggard and not quite up for the challenge. China's rising power alarms Americans. They feel threatened by China's expanding economy and the vast amount of U.S. debt it holds. Last month during the State of the Union address, President Barack Obama referred several times to the relationship as a competition. And despite Obama's recent chatter about "winning the future," many fear we are losing this super-power battle royal. If he takes the tape that measures super-power status as gross domestic product — America will lose by decision in the next ten years. This us-versus-them world view works well in the movies but for the sake of both countries, we must begin looking at China as a partner and not a Chinese-version of Captain Ivan Drago from "Rocky IV." We must divorce ourselves from this old, tired view or run risk of chasing an unattainable chicken. Maybe the shift from the number-one superpower to the number-two superpower can help Americans escape this outmoded worldview of looking at these two nations in terms of one and two. John Kennedy, an associate professor in political science at the University, is currently in China as a Faculty Research Fulbright Fellow. He said in an e-mail that business is "the bedrock relationship" between the two nations, which benefits both sides. The political relationship, however, is more volatile as politicians pander to their domestic audiences. Our politically framed outlook on China is similar to how we measure success and status in GDP — it's a broad stroke that misses important details, like how far China lags behind America in per-capita income or our country's high infant mortality rate, Kennedy said. When we marginalize China as a mere competitor, we overlook the individuals. This is no way to sustain a meaningful relationship. Students at the University have a prime opportunity to make a much-needed shift away from this worldview. Changing one's worldview is twofold. First, students must witness the world outside the framework of Western civilization — for instance traveling to a different country or In this framework, as in sports, there's no "I" in team. And that's what's most important: the "Is" that makeup both countries. BY D.M. SCOTT dscott@kansan.com studying abroad. Second, within a diverse campus, students can seek relationships outside their own cultural comfort zone, said Kevin Liu, associate director at the KU Confucius Institute. When crossing multi-cultural borders, students learn the critical idea needed for this necessary shift: the importance of relationships. One of the biggest differences between the two nations is how each values relationships. Liu used an analogy to explain this difference: typically in business, Americans like to close the deal first and form relationships second. Chinese, on the other hand, like to establish relationships first and then proceed to business. Liu also sees this differing worldview in Chinese and American undergraduates. Often, American students ask open-ended questions about Chinese culture, and Chinese students ask close-ended questions about American culture. The close-ended questions are detail-orientated because Chinese students have already taken the initiative to learn about American culture and its people. A worldview that centers on "winning and losing" and guided purely by national interests cannot forge this much-needed partnership. Plus, it's a dismal way of looking at the world. We should promote education and innovation not because we lag behind other countries or to stay competitive, but because we want to become a better partner. "What will be important in the future as the world gets smaller is that we as individuals understand each other. We must understand each other's culture, so we can have the difficult discussions on the environment, security and business," Liu said. In the year of the rabbit, let's begin looking at this relationship other than through the "Eye of the Tiger." Let's start looking at the people that make up China rather than Team China, and let's work on our relationships instead of trying to win. Scott is a junior from Overland Park in journalism.

Both twins have multiple intentional or technical fouls and one or the other has picked up a crippling foul in both losses. "Marcus and Markieff are the biggest leaders on the team tion," coach Bill Self said. "They can get guys to follow them more than anybody else can. But unfortunately, sometimes that's great. But there are "It's important to keep a good attitude at all times because everybody can see that attitude." Taylor into a cold night. Taylor has shown a tendency that when one part of his game is off, the others will shortly follow. In both losses, Taylor struggled offensively, 2-for-8 against Texas, 1-to-6 assist-to-turnover ratio at Kansas State, and subsequently got burnt on the defensive end. His defensive responsibilities, Texas' J'Covan Brown and Kansas State's Jacob Pullen, both dropped season highs. times when that's not good, as evidenced by when you let your emotions get the best of you" MARCUS MORRIS Junior forward The next part of the plan is forcing the mercurial Tyshawn Self and Taylor both said Monday night was as rough a game as Taylor has ever had at Kansas. "That was a rough night for Ty," Self said. "He knows it." That's probably as rough a night as he's ever had as a basketball player" Taylor put it a little more succinctly. But they all know their flaws, and they all insist they're changing them. "I sucked." "It's important to keep a good attitude at all times, because everybody can see that attitude, especially the referees," Marcus said. "You don't want to get on their bad side because once you do, you aren't going to get the majority of the calls." Taylor, too, said he's focused on turning it around. "It starts with me as a point guard," he said. "I'm pressuring the ball most of the time, so it starts with me. If I can be more intense defensively, I think we'll be good." So the twins and Taylor and the rest of the team had a meeting this week. "A few of us got together and had a real deep talk," Markieff said.

Chris Bronson/KANSAN KANSAS ATHLETICS First Nationa Jayhawks looking to leap the Frogs BASEBALL Kansas will start its season against the No.1 Texas baseball team tonight Baseball coach Ritch Price fields questions from reporters on media day for the baseball team Tuesday afternoon. Price admitted that the Jayhawks season-opening game will be a tough one, but their 5-1 record against top-ranked teams bodes well for them. BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Aaron Harris/KANSAN The baseball team opens its season tonight in Fort Worth, Texas, against the No.1 Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University. The Jayhawks haven't been able to mask their anticipation for the upcoming season, especially the tough first game. "Everybody's really excited to step on the field Friday night against No. 1 (TCU)," senior outfielder Jimmy Waters said. Waters leads the Jayhawks, who are sure to have their hands full against TCU's top pitcher Matt Purke. Purke, a sophomore, went 16-0 in his stellar freshman season at TCU last year. He posted an earned run average of 3.02, and won Baseball America's freshman of the year award. "Our guys are really excited to face Purke," said T.J. Walz, a senior and tonight's starting pitcher for the Jayhawks. "There's no better guy to go out and try to beat for the first game." Saturday, senior Wally Marciel will take the mound for the Jayhawks against Sugar Land, Texas, native, Kyle Winkler. The projected starters for Sunday will feature a matchup of Jayhawk sophomore Purke, a second team All American, struck out 142 batters in only 116.1 innings pitched last year. If the Horned Frogs would like to make back-to-back World Series trips, Purke will have to be one of the key ingredients. Things won't be easy for the jayawk pitching staff either. The Horned Frogs return seven position starters from last year's World Series competing team. Four of those seven players finished with a batting average of more than .300 last year. The Jayhawks are no strangers to taking on top-ranked teams. Last season, the Jayhawks beat the No. 1 Louisiana State University Tigers in a highly competitive three-game series. The season before that, in 2009, Kansas swept then No. 1 Texas as well, leaving coach Rich Price with a 5-1 record against-top ranked teams. "I think we just have a history with number one teams," senior outfielder Casey Lytle said. "I think we all know how that outcome turns out." Walz, the 2010 Jayhawk Pitcher of the Year, is up to the challenge. He is coming off a season in which he went 8-6 with an ERA of 5.06. The whole team, including Walz, seemed to be itching to get back onto the field in a game atmosphere. "I'm anxious. I've been waiting for it since going against Oklahoma in the Big 12 tournament last year," Walz said. "Were ready to get back out and prove ourselves." Tanner Poppe and senior Steven Maxwell of TCU. It will be tough for the lajahwys to come away with a win in Fort Worth this weekend, but they have done it before, and they believe they can do it again. "I strongly believe we have what it takes to go down there into a No. 1 ranked team again and try to repeat what we did last year," Lytle said. - Edited by Helen Mubarak WHAT'S NEXT? **Game 1:** Feb. 26 vs. St. Louis at 3 p.m. **Game 2:** Feb. 27 vs. Iowa at 3 p.m. **Game 3:** March 1 vs. Southern Utah at 3 p.m. JAYHAWK CLASSIC Location: Hoglund Ballpark, Lawrence KU BASKETBALL Spiders tangled in their own web PHILADELPHIA — Ramone Moore scored 24 points, Juan Fernandez had 20 and No. 23 Temple used a 16-0 run to batter Richmond 73-53 on Thursday night. The Spiders were one of the hottest road teams in the nation and the Owls had dominated on their home court. Temple (20-5, 10-2 Atlantic 10) kept its streak going, winning its 20th straight home game. Richmond (20-7, 9-3) snapped an eight-game road winning streak, the second longest in the nation. Temple's defense produced 10 turnovers and the Spiders were simply forcing poor shots down the stretch in a feeble effort to catch up. Fernandez made his first seven shots before missing a desperation attempt as the shot clock expired. The Owls, who haven't lost at home since Jan. 2, 2010, against No.1 Kansas, cranked the pressure in the second half. The Spiders blew a chance to stop the run, but missed two easy shots at the basket — something Fernandez did not do when he made an uncontested 3 for his fifth field goal on five shots to cap the 16-0 streak. The Owls shot close to 60 percent from the floor for most of the first 30 minutes and easily clinched their fourth straight 20-win season under coach Fran Dunphy.

Now they get to come home and play that same Colorado team. Oh, boy. The Buffaloes are very talented offensively — Bill Self said "everybody missed except Colorado"in recruiting Buffaloes star Alec Burks — but they don't have the defense or the physicality to follow the game plan that beat Kansas twice already this year. That game plan attack the Morris twins to draw foul trouble and, in turn, stifle that potent Jayhawk in offense — has been executed brilliantly in both Jayhawk losses, but not many teams have the players to pull it off. PLAYER TO WATCH Freshman guard, Josh Selby man guard, Josh Selby Coach Bill Self said yesterday that Selby is 80 to 85 percent and wouldn't see a reduction in playing time unless he reinjured Selby his leg. Selby's drawn a lot of criticism lately for mucking up the offensive flow that seems so evident when he's not in the game. Fair or not, the criticism is out there — Yahoo! Sports national columnist Jason King wrote this week that Selby should be a distant fourth guard option. Selby will have to come out playing well to disseminate that chatter. He was playing well in the three games before his injury, averaging an efficient 14.3 points per game.The fact remains, though,that his two highest scoring games were his first two games as a Jayhawk,and he came off the bench in both of them. Nill the Jayhawks guard? QUESTION MARK Colorado is kind of an awkward game for Bill Self to teach his lessons in, and the Jayhawks have got the Buffaloes after both of their losses. Self needs his team to buy into his defensive scheme their losses. Self needs his team to buy into his defensive scheme — something they have clearly not done yet — but they're struggling to do so because they still believed, as of a week ago, that they could outscore any opponent they came across. While Kansas State and Texas should be enough to disprove that theory, Colorado could serve to only enforce it. The Buffaloes are one of the best offensive teams in the conference, but the Jayhawks, still, are the best offense in the conference. And Colorado's defense opens the gate for Kansas to revert back to its offensive barrage. HEARYE, HEARYE "I don't think unfair is right at all. I think they're getting a reputation. I don't think it's unfair." — Bill Self on the Morris twins' growing reputation as dirty players COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY Chance for redemption Kansas looks to make up for big loss Taylor KANSAS 24-2,(9-2) STARTERS AMANDA NABUKO KANSAS VS. COLORADO 1 p.m., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, Lawrence Tyshawn Taylor,guard yshawn taylor, guard Despite Taylor's atrocious performance Monday, there's no reason to think he'll be anywhere but solidly entrenched in his usual spot running the point for Kansas. One bad night does not make a season, and the Jayhawks lack a true point guard who could adequately replace him. Playing Colorado, which lacks anything resembling a top-tier defense, should help him return to form. Douglas S. McCarthy ★★★☆☆ Reed Tyrel Reed,guard Tyrel Reed, guard Reed was just about the only Jayhawk to play a solid game in Manhattan. As is his wont, Reed kept a cooler head while the game grumbled around him. Reed isn't Kansas' best player, but he's the most evenkeeled and the most consistent. He finished with 14 points, five rebounds and three assists the last time Kansas played Colorado. PETER LANDSEN Morningstar ★★★★☆ Brady Morningstar, guard Brady Morningstar got a morningstar will probably get the nod one more time over the not-fully-healthy Josh Selby. He was his typical solid but unspectacular self Monday against the Wildcats, regressing just a little from the lights-out form he's shown since the Jayhawks' last game against Colorado. In Boulder, Morningstar broke out of a season-long scoring slump and scored 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting. ★★☆☆ Mc. Morris Marcel Morris, founder Self joked in his Thursday presser about running Marcus in practice this week and Marcus saying "Coach, I didn't do it," about Markieff's intentional foul on Monday. Self didn't care, because the referees don't care. The twins are stuck with a reputation as dirty players (a reputation which both have fostered this season), and regardless of which it is, you can be sure that anything close will get a second look. PETER DICKENS Marcus Morris, foward MICHAEL SMITH ★★★★★ Mk. Morris Markieff the one who actually did commit the intentional foul — a loose elbow on a moving screen that maliciously caught Jacob Pullen in the head — so it's a safe bet that he did plenty of running for it as well. Markieff really struggled Monday. He finished with just three points in 20 minutes and had zero rebounds, which is especially remarkable considering that he's still the leading rebounder in the Big 12. Markieff Morris, forward COLORADO 16-10,(5-6) STARTERS Levi Knutson, guard Knutson is starting in place of junior guard Nate Tomlinson, who was injured in a loss to Missouri on Feb. 5. When the Buffaloes last saw the Jayhawks, kenpom.com had Knutson rated as the most efficient player in college basketball this season. Since the Jan. 25 tilt, Knutson is now rated fifth. In his Colorado's last game, a 58-56 victory against Kansas State, Knutson had 16 points on 5-8 shooting in 36 minutes. YANKEE BRENNER Knutson ★★★☆☆ Higgins 15. Higgins, guard In the 82-78 loss to Kansas, Higgins had 19 points on 8-15 shooting. Earlier this season, Kansas coach Bill Self said Higgins should be a pro when the season is finished. He led all scorers with 17 points in Colorado game against Kansas State on Feb. 12. Higgins is averaging 16.3 points per game, eighth in the Big 12. Cory Higgins, guard ★★★★★ Burks leads the team in scoring (19.5 points per game) and is second behind Baylor's Lace-Darius Dunn (20.8 points per game). He only had eight points against Kansas State, but he has scored 20-plus points in three of five games since the loss to Kansas in Boulder. In that loss, Burks went off for 25, but it wasn't enough to pull off the upset. PETER SMITH Burks Alec Burks, forward ★★★★ Austin Dufault, forward ★★★★ Yannis For being 6-foot-9, 230 pounds, Dufault plays small. His rebounds are up from a season ago by 1.4 a game, but he is only averaging 4.5 this season. Since the loss to Kansas on Jan. 25, Dufault has rebounding outputs of five, two, six, four and three. It helps not having to worry about Thomas Robinson tomorrow, but he will need to step up, especially on the offensive glass. Against Kansas State, Dufault had four points in 28 minutes. Dufault ★★☆☆ Marcus Relphorde, forward Tim Dwyer eraging 4.3 rebounds a game, but he did a 12-rebound effort against Missouri Feb. 5. Relphorde had four points ag Kansas State, but scored 15 against The Jayhawks will want to watch perimeter shooting, where 3-5 from in the loss on Ja He is shooting better percent from deep season. Like Dufault, Relphorde plays small. He is averaging 4.3 rebounds a game, but he did have a 12-rebound effort against Missouri on Feb. 5. Relphorde had four points against Kansas State, but scored 15 against Kansas. The Jayhawks will want to watch his perimeter shooting, where he went 3-5 from in the loss on Jan. 25. He is shooting better than 42 percent from deep on the season. ALEXANDER HUBBARD Relphorde ★★★☆☆ -Mike Lavieri CU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Brady Morningstar Photo by Jerry Wang/KANSAN Colorado was lucky against Kansas State on Feb. 12. Wildcat guard Rodney McGruder sank a long three-pointer that looked to have given K-State the 59-58 victory, but officials determined that the shot was after the clock reached zero. The victory was a good bounce back for the Buffaloes after losing at home 73-70 in overtime to Texas &M on Feb. 9. The last time Colorado saw Kansas, it was coming off its first home loss since 2007. When these two teams meet again tomorrow, Kansas will be coming off a loss to Kansas State on Monday. The two times the Buffaloes saw the Jayhawks in 2008 was after the Jayhawks lost the previous game. PLAYER TO WATCH Sophomore guard, Alec Burks Burks is one of four Big 12 players to be named to the Midseason Naismith Award Top 30 list, as was Kansas forward Marcus Morris. PRESIDENT Both were named to the Midseason Wooden Award Top 30 list as well.What makes Burks so deadly is his Burks ability to get to the free-throw line and knock down the 15-foot freebies. He is 84.5 percent this year, which is third in the Big 12. Burks has been to the line 193 times. QUESTION MARK How will Colorado fare in its final matchup with Kansas as a member of the Big 12? The Buffaloes are catching the Jayhawks after a loss for the second time this season. They were fortunate to be at home the first time, but this time should be different. Colorado played Kansas to a four-point game, but something is telling me this won't be close. Yes, Kansas is without Thomas Robinson, but Colorado doesn't really have anybody to bang bodies down low. If Burks, Higgins and Knutson can score efficiently, it will keep Colorado in the game later. If that happens, the Buffaloes will believe they could win this game and the upset might be on. Look for the fans to be juiced after the disappointment from Monday's loss. Coach Tad Boyle would like to leave Lawrence with a 1-0 record until he and the team head west to the Pac-12 in 2011. Kansas does not "let one become two."Kansas wins by 11. HEARYE, HEARYE "Obviously, Bill is going to have their attention.

The pair of NBA-prospect guards did everything they could to keep the Buffs in it in Boulder — Burks finished with 25, Higgins 19 — but outscored the other seven guys that played 44-34.

What sophomore leads the Big 12 Conference in scoring. 1980 BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com the Big 12 Conference in scoring, rebounding and blocks, and is in the top 10 for field goal and free throw percentage during league play? If you guessed Alec Burks or Jordan Hamilton, give yourself a consolation prize. Those aren't terrible guesses, but the correct answer is Brittney Griner – of the No. 1 Bavlor Lady Bears. If you're unfamiliar with Griner, here's the scouting report: She's averaging 23.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 4.27 blocks per game in league play. Her 118 blocks on the year are 22 more than the nearest Big 12 player. In her last three games, she's scored 23, 29, and 26 points. In her last game, against No. 5 Texas A&M, she scored 23 points in just the second half, including a stretch where she had 13 straight Baylor points. I know, I know, it's women's basketball. Who cares, right? Maybe you've seen Griner show up on Sportcenter or YouTube every so often, or perhaps you've never heard of her, but if there was ever a time to care about Big 12 women's basketball, it's now. And that's solely because of one 6-foot-8 inch woman. In a nutshell, she's scary good. Just listen to what her coach, Kim Mulkey, had to say about her star player after Baylor throttled Kansas 76-37: "People want to say Brittney's going to change the game ... but there's not going to be a lot of girls that come along who are built like Brittney that can play above the rim." Yeah, probably, like, none. Watching Griner in a college game is like watching a middle schooler join a group of third-graders playing a pick-up game on the playground. With her ridiculous 7-foot-4-inch wingspan, she does almost whatever she wants to underneath the basket. Also, she can, and does, dunk. On a regular basis, actually. She has done it since high school. The ridiculousness of that statement can't be overstated. WNBA.com has a list of all the times that players have dunked in professional regular season games in the history of the league. The list is about as long as my fingernail. The last time a woman slammed in the league was 2008. Griner did it 52 times her senior year of high school. THE MORNING BREW And that was without playing organized basketball until her freshman year. BASKETBALL All the attention she's garnered isn't the easiest thing for a 20-year-old to handle, but the consensus on Griner is that she's also a great ambassador for all of women's basketball. One of my most frightening moments assignments as a journalist was asking Griner, nearly a half-foot taller than me, about the time she punched an opposing player her freshman year. But she responded with the grace and poise that have helped her move past that embarrassing episode to becoming perhaps the most dominant player in women's college basketball history - all before her 21st birthday.

Angelo Chol, Rivals.com's No. 76 rated player, verbally committed to Arizona over Kansas and North Carolina on Thursday.

Mike Lavieri Arizona defeats Washington State NCAA TUCSON, Ariz. — Derrick Williams had 26 points and eight rebounds, and No. 12 Arizona withstood a big night from Klay Thompson to hold off Washington State 79-70 Thursday night. Williams had been relatively quiet the previous two games, scoring a combined 23 points as he tried to fight through collapsing defenses and the bulky bandage on his sore right pinky. Williams got to the rim and the line, hitting 7 of 10 shots and all 12 of his free throws. He also got some help from Solomon Hill, who scored all of his 12 points in the second half to give Arizona (22-4, 11-2 Pac-10) its 14th straight home win.

The Jayhawks have a history of beating top-ranked teams. KANSAS WWW.KANSAN.COM FATAL FLAWS CHANGING DIRECTIONS BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKasketball PAGE 12A There's now a game plan to beat the No. 1-for-the-moment Kansas Jayhawks. That's not to say that it's easy, or that there are more than a handful of teams with the ability to execute the game plan well enough to beat the recently humbled Jayhawks, but there is definitely a game plan. definitely a game plan. It starts with the strength of the Morris twins, who have the ability to play a finesse game from the wing or a power game in the post. The ability to do something, though, is much different than an enthusiasm for it, and Kansas State, and Texas before it, forced the twins into foul trouble by going right at them offensively and keeping them away from the hoop when the Jayhawks had the ball.

Proceeds will go to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breast Center and KU Med Cancer Center. CENTER The attitude is positive as the 16-8 Jayhawks approach their last five regular season games. Kansas is coming off a tough road loss to No. 5 Texas A&M last Saturday. The Jayhawks hung on for the start of the game, but fell behind quickly. "This being our pink game everyone is hopeful and happy for all the breast cancer survivors," Mays said. "We want to go out and win this for everyone." "We competed for the most part; it is not like we didn't give our best effort." Mays said. 4 enfor, The misses say, The loss can be attributed to an excessive 31 turnovers by the lavhawks.

"We have been having good practices and we are feeling good about this game," Moore said. Edited by Samantha Collins COMMENTARY Jayhawks need to be mentally focused C R BY NICO ROESLER proesler@kansan.com own team. A after Monday's embarrassing loss to Kansas State, Bill Self said he didn't recognize his How could he? The Morris twins looked like matadors in the post and the guard play was more frustrating to watch than Sean Combs dancing. (I don't even know what to call him any more. Diddy Dirty Money?) Money) But the biggest issue that will face this team heading into March will not be the on-court performance, but the mental attitude of Kansas' seemingly sensitive group. Bad plays are part of the game. But bad mental discipline is a sign of a lack of character in a team, and can even come across as a lack of class. Tyrel Reed is a finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award. Both Reed and Brady Morningstar have been named to the Academic All-Big 12 first and second teams, respectively. And the way our team rallied around teammate Thomas Robinson is nothing short of first class. class. Don't get me wrong; I'm not say ing that our team doesn't have class. In fact, many aspects of our team show that we are one of the classiest teams in the country. class. That said, if you watch the jayhawk when things start to go against them, it is the actions between and after plays that really make you shake your head at this team. There have been at least three occasions now where I have seen one of the Morris twins struggling to either post up an opponent, get through a screen, or simply get a call and retaliate by throwing an elbow. What does this show to the country? That if people can frustrate Kansas' big they'll lose their cool and might even get ejected from a game. Id take a black eye if it came with a win against the Jayhawks late in March. Tyshawn Taylor is arguably the leader of the Kansas guards, and there was something very disconcerting about watching his effort in Manhattan on Monday. Not only did he struggle, but he continued to make mental mistakes that further detracted from his confidence as well as the confidence of the players around him. It is that leadership Self mentioned that not only conveys mental strength against adversity, but also a sense of class. Because it is class and character that show through when a team battles through the "bad" calls, the tough road crowd and the mental mistakes to walk away with a hard earned victory in the end. Not a loss captured on the pouting faces of players. "Once it started going bad," Self said in a press conference Thursday about the loss to Kansas State, "we had very little leadership and we didn't have very good guard play obviously." nces or playern I'm betting things will go more Kansas' way this weekend against Colorado, especially at home. But something has to change in the players' minds when tournament time comes around. There can be no more sense of entitlement to future victories, but rather a sense of mental commitment. - Edited by Helen Mubarak THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2011 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 98 DANCE ALL NIGHT KU Dance Marathon raises $37,000 Record 420 students attend fundraiser BY CHRISTINE CURTIN ccurtin@kansan.com For 12 straight hours Saturday night through Sunday morning, University of Kansas students stayed on their feet.

Celebrate EveryBODY Week meets that threat with a positive message. Celebrate EveryBODY Week coincides with National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (NEDA), which campus organizers Student Health Services and the H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. task force have adapted to address topics including body acceptance, healthy eating and physical activity. Notes and posters posted around campus will spread positive messages about body image beginning Monday. Guest speaker Lee Wolfe Blum, a University of Kansas alumna and anorexia survivor, will deliver a portion of that message as part of a series of events throughout the week educating students about eating disorders and promoting healthy body image. Other events this week will feature discounted food and giveaways of bottled water and T-shirts. Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutritional services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said more needed to be done to educate students about how to appreciate the bodies they are given, especially when the media promoted unrealistic messages about how people should look. Partly Cloudv Events promote positive body image "Everywhere you look, the epitome of beauty is a woman who is five-ten, too thin and has breast implants," Chapman said. "Three or four percent of women have that body type." The NEDA reports that 80 percent of women are dissatisfied with their appearances. Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said students who don't feel good about themselves are less likely to be successful academically or in their personal development. Chapman said that she had counseled many students who were unhappy with their bodies. "We know there's a higher incidence of eating disorders on college campuses for a variety of reasons," Chapman said. The average age of onset for anorexia is 19 and for bulimia the average age is 20, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. The NIMH reports that the mortality rate among people with anorexia is about 12 times higher than the death rate due to all causes of death among women ages 15 to 24 in the general population. Blum, a health educator at Park Nicollet Eating Disorders Institute in Minnesota, will give talks at Budig Hall and the Kansas Union Ballroom. Blum said her talks at Budig Hall would discuss the nature of eating disorders, how to identify them and how people can recover. Her discussion in the ballroom will focus on the story of her personal struggle with, and recovery from, an eating disorder.

A rise in the incidence of anorexia has occurred in young women ages 15 to 19 in each decade since 1930. The incidence of bulimia in 10 to 39 year old women TRIPLED between 1988 and 1993. Only one-third of people with anorexia in the community receive mental health care. Only 6 percent of people with bulimia receive mental health care. Fifty percent of American men don't like their overall appearance. Whereas in 1972, it was only one in six men who didn't like his body.

The third Monday of January is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But what is celebrated on the third Monday of every February? Presidents Day. To date, there have been 44 presidents and our country has gone through many changes under different leadership from the Declaration of Independence, to getting us out of the Great Depression in the early 1900s, to improving U.S. policy on climate change. Why is it that this national holiday does not receive much recognition? "To me, Presidents Day is just another day and a day people get off work," said Aaron Neis, a senior from Eudora. It is not just another federal holiday, but a day to recognize our presidents. Namely the president this holiday was originally named for — George Washington. He was our first president and this day was used to celebrate his birthday, Feb. 22, 1732. In Kansas, we still call it Presidents Day, but in states such as Alabama it's known as Washington's Birthday. No matter where you live or what your state calls it, Presidents Day is a day set aside to honor the leaders, past and present, of our country.

Matching program helps immigrants afford college ASSOCIATED PRESS CHELSEA, Mass. — It started with an immigration raid four years ago. ees being cared for. It also motivated the Boston banker and philanthropist "into action." years ago. From his Melrose home, Bob Hildreth watched the aftermath of federal immigration agents storming a New Bedford, Mass., leather factory and netting 350 suspected illegal immigrant workers from Guatemala and El Salvador. The event drew national attention when news reports showed the small children of some the detainees being cared for by strangers. Hildreth, the son of an Irish immigrant and a descendant of the Puritans, put up half of the bail money for those arrested, roughly $100,000. To his surprise, Latino immigrants in New Bedford and across the state rallied to raise the other half. other place: Hildreth thought: Could Latino immigrant families also be inspired to raise money for college? The result was the Boston-based group he founded: Families in Educational Leadership, or FUEL. For more than a year, his group has held "savings circles" in Chelsea, Lynn, and parts of Boston with the goal of training low-income immigrant families on financial literacy so they can put away money for college. The group promises that if families save $1,500 by the time a child graduates from high school, it will match that amount. match that amount. "I acted viscerally, from the gut," said Hildreth, now 60, who sold bonds in Latin America in the 1980s and 1990s. "I saw that these immigrants could raise money for bail, that they sent billions of dollars year in remittances. Why not do the same for college?" So far, according to FUEL officials, the group has signed up 260 immigrant families and hopes to expand to other Massachusetts cities. One of those to join was Felix Mendoza Chavez, a 57-year-old part-time janitor at Boston's Logan International Airport who used to believe college tuition would be forever out of reach for his two daughters. Hildreth began his idea with a pilot program in Lynn for 12 students. The high school students, who went through workshops about looking for scholarships and family financial planning, earned 61 college acceptances and $2.6 million in local and national scholarships. his two daughters. But after joining Hildreth's program, the Salvadoran-born Chelsea resident said he "saves every extra dime that falls in front" of him. He attends workshops on saving, drops in on community meetings about scholarships, and has no problem pressing counselors about various colleges. In addition, the group brings to meetings college counselors, financial experts and current college students who are children of immigrants to speak about private and public money. "In a lot of cases, we can get them a full ride with money that is already out there," said Gene Miller, FUEL Chief Operating Officer.

The arts are good for Kansans and the economy EDITORIAL From the debate over evolution to Fred Phelps picking funerals, Kansas seems to make national headlines for all the wrong reasons. Now our state is again making national news for a similarly embarrassing scenario: the elimination of the Kansas Arts Commission. On Feb. 7, Gov. Sam Brownback signed an executive order eliminating the state agency, making Kansas the only state in the nation without at least a quasi-governmental arts agency. Instead, a private nonprofit arts foundation will replace the KAC. This may seem like a simple solution to save the state thousands of dollars, but the loss of the KAC will result in grave consequences for the state and for the University of Kansas. The KAC supports the arts in Kansas through grants, professional development programs and leadership initiatives. KAC provided the Spencer Art Museum with $21,286 and the Lied Center with $16,286 for the fiscal year of 2011. Without funding from the KAC, the Spencer Art Museum would likely have to make cuts, including one full-time art education position. The overall economic benefits of losing the KAC are low, and the costs are great. This elimination will result in the loss of 4,000 jobs and $1.2 million for the state, according to a press release from KAC Chairman Henry Without public funding, arts organizations will have to cater to rich donors even more, and the number of people they reach will diminish. It's no secret that today's economic climate requires drastic action, but cutting relatively small and successful organizations like the KAC won't solve the state's budget shortfall. Schwaller. The state will lose $778,200 in direct funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and $437,767 in indirect grants and services from Mid-America Arts Alliance. The Kansas arts and cultural sector is a $153.5 million industry, according to the KAC website. An investment in the arts is an investment in private sector business, and cities thrive when the arts are supported. Investment in arts increases tourism, and businesses are more likely to locate in communities that support art programs and other quality-of-life enhancing amenities such as schools and libraries. Public support for art programs also enables those with lower incomes to enjoy the same benefits as the affluent. Every civilization is remembered for its cultural and community values. Kansas must preserve the arts to benefit today's communities as well as future generations. Let's make headlines for that. Erin Brown for the Kansan Editorial Board. CARTOON 1.

First off, I would argue that the majority of students are from the Kansas City area. Second, I don't find it disrespectful, but rather a celebration of our local professional football team — just like we preemptively sing our Rock Chalk chant at our basketball games in celebration of the likely win. It's fun, and it shows team pride. I am sure Ms. Oommen is an out-of-stater and doesn't appreciate the chant, but let us have our fun. Go Chiefs, go Hawks. Travis Molsen is a junior from Olathe. LGBT community stands for more than just gay bars First off, who would not like being served shots that taste like they were just wrung out of a pack of fermented Starburst from scanti- clad men and women? In the article "Gay bars have important significance in LGBT culture," the author, Castle, brings up a strong point: gay bars serve as an important meeting grounds for many LGBT members in the time of Harvey Milk, when they faced great oppression and fear of being carried off in paddy wagons for their "immoral" acts. The article paints a picture of these current gay bars as important cornerstones in gay culture, but this sends a bad message to heterosexual and LGBT persons. No one is disputing that gay bars are not fantastic places to go and dance, drink, be merry, dress up as Mary and have a good time, but as we progress into more tolerant times — with the repeal of DADT and some states legalizing gay marriage — I think it is also time to begin to define our community outside the walls of an abandoned steak house, al la château. In the last paragraph of the article, Castle says, "when we feel depressed and alone because of bullying and the oppression of an intolerant, heterosexual society, we are always welcome at our humble, hole-in-the-wall taverns." Is this the message we want to Is this the message we want to send? Whenever life serves you lemmons, put them in a long Island Iced Tea and have a swig? As a strong and growing community, I believe we can reshape the way our culture views us. That begins with showcasing ourselves beyond the gay parades and catchy-named bars. This is not to say that they are not a part of our rich culture, but they don't define our culture, and they don't define us. Sebastian Beshk is a junior from Mission Viejo, Calif. HUMOR Embrace your soon-to-be old-fogey ways In a scant three months, I will be graduating from college — provided, of course, that I pass my last few required courses, don't run out of bribe money and don't get expelled for bribing the professors of my last few required courses. If that all goes according to plan, my last act as a college student will be walking down Campanile Hill. After that, I will be thrust into the real world, a dreadful hellscape of adult responsibility fraught with decaying carcasses of childhood long passed. It's an intimidating journey, and one that carries with it the grim prospect of eventually Being Old. But I choose to see the positive side of things. When I finally Become Old, I will also get to Act Old. I will be out-of-touch, out-of-date and outstandingly unaware of whatever is considered "cool" or "hip" by the no-good youths of what will eventually be today. RY ALEX NICHOLS In short, I will be a Lame Old Fogey, and it will be glorious. BY ALEX NICHOLS anichols@kansan.com Old People seem to be surrounded by a magical force field that deflects all incoming knowledge of trends, fads and other popular ephemera, making them blissfully ignorant of the sort of dreck people our age tend to go for But it is not the mere absence of with-it-ness that I will relish in. It is also the utter confusion I will get to experience when suddenly confronted with something newfangled — and the cranky disapproval of said newfangled something I will exhibit without reproach. As of now, if I say that I hate, for "Oh, don't mind Alex," the kids will say. "He's almost 30 and hasn't taken his third nap yet." As an Old Person, it will be impossible for me to be cool, no matter how hard I try — thus allowing me to finally revel in being un-cool. Some people seem to fear this transformation, clinging desperately to their collegiate youthfulness until they are sitting alone in a deserted park, chugging PBR and tossing Frisbees to themselves as they weep longingly for the festive days of yore. example, Dane Cook, my peers may be inclined to label me a “otes jealous h8r.” Once I Become Old, however, I will be allowed to express my hatred for just about any rich and successful person without any such ad hominem. There's no sense in denying the inevitable. There's something freeing about aging to the point where it doesn't matter if you like what everybody else likes. And there's something Take Andy Rooney. If you don't know who he is, it's because he's on television, so I suggest you go online and look up some videos of his majestically grouchy rants from "60 Minutes." Since 1978, he has made a living out of letting the world pass him by, having delivered countless monologues on the befuddling nature of things like new music, new art and — somehow — new fruit. He has fully embraced Being Old, and doing so must be invigorating, because he's still showing up at work at the age of 92. As we all venture into the Real World, let us follow Mr. Rooney's example and welcome our future fogeyness with open arms. It may be the only thing we can hold onto.

Lawmakers are considering setting a DUI blood-content threshold for marjuana that would make Colorado one of three states with such a provision in statute — and one of the most liberal, according to Rep. Claire Levy, one of the bill's sponsors. sponsors. Under the proposal, drivers who test positive for 5 nanograms or more of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, would be considered too impaired to drive if the substance is present in their blood at the time they're pulled over or within two hours. over or within the overseeing Levy, a Democrat from Boulder, said she's gotten resistance from medical marijuana advocates who fear it will restrict patients from using the drug.

The KU Credit Union AUSTIN, Texas Texas is preparing to give college students and professors the right to carry guns on campus, adding momentum to a national campaign to open this part of society to firearms. Texas bill would allow guns on campus More than half the members of the Texas House have signed on as co-authors of a measure directing universities to allow concealed handguns. The Senate passed a similar bill in 2009 and is expected to do so again. Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who sometimes packs a pistol when he jogs, has said he's in favor of the idea. Texas has become a prime battleground for the issue because of its gun culture and its size, with 38 public universities and more than 500,000 students. It would become the second state, following Utah, to pass such a broad-based law. Colorado gives colleges the option and NATIONAL Town Sheriff Will Masters, portrayed by Rick Martino, has a friendly chat with Elma Duckworth, played by Erin Mae Johnson, in Saturday night's performance of William Inge's, "Bus Stop," at Montana Reporter Theatre inside the Lied Center. "Bus Stop" takes place in a small Kansas town outside Kansas City, which is stricken with icy conditions that force the passengers of an interstate bus to stop for the night.

Supporters of the legislation argue that gun violence on campuses, such as the mass shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007 and Northern Illinois in 2008, show that the best defense against a gunman is students who can shoot back. "People tell me that if they would have been there, they would have shot that guy. That offends me," Goddard said. "People want to be the hero, I understand that. They play video games and they think they understand the reality. It's nothing like that." dents who can listen. “It’s strictly a matter of self-defense,” said state Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio. “I don’t ever want to see repeated on a Texas college campus what happened at Virginia Tech, where some deranged, suicidal madman goes into a building and is able to pick off totally defenseless kids like sitting ducks.” Until the Virginia Tech incident, the worst college shooting in U.S. history occurred at the University of Texas, when sniper Charles Whitman went to the top of the administration tower in 1966 and killed 16 people and wounded dozens. Last September, a University of Texas student fired several shots from an assault rifle before killing himself. Opponents of campus gun rights say students and faculty would live in fear of their classmates and colleagues, not knowing who might pull a gun over a poor grade, a broken romance or a drunken fraternity argument. KU Goddard was a student at Virginia Tech when he was shot four times in his French class. Student Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people, including 10 in Goddard's classroom, before shooting himself. Goddard dismisses the idea that another student with a gun could have stopped the killer.

Similar firearms measures have been proposed in about a dozen other states, but all face strong opposition, especially from college leaders. In Oklahoma, all 25 public college and university presidents declared their opposition to a concealed carry proposal. Johnson said in January. Guns on campus bills have been rejected in 23 states since 2007, but gun control activists acknowledge it will be difficult to stop the Texas bill from passing this year.

For one of his recent Granada shows, "Sex with No Babies," Rivera, who's part of a group of local artists named Team Bear Club, passed out more than 3,000 condoms with stickers including information about the performance. And his unique marketing tactics seem to be working. Rivera is now one of several DJs involved with the recent "Blackout" parties at the Granada, which feature DJs and live performance art. These days, Rivera plays larger Lawrence venues, such as the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., And The Cave, 1200 Oread Ave. However, the venues he plays at have not always been this glamorous. "My freshman and sophomore year of college, I would just do house parties. I grinded out tons of house parties, but I never got paid," Rivera said. "I had a party where my got equipment completely soaked with water when a toilet exploded above me, and I got paid nothing for the whole show. I rocked house parties forever just so I could get to the point where I had a little bit of rep." Chris Neal/KANSAN B Nick Rivera, a 2010 alumnus, DJs at the Eighth Street Taproom, Friday night. Rivera is part of a group of Lawrence and Topeka artists known as "Team Bear Club" that play at venues like the Granada and The Cave. After a couple of years of making a name for himself, Rivera got involved with several recurring parties around Lawrence, including the Granada's "Blackout," The Cave's "Rave at the Cave" and The Taproom's "Mingle." Rivera said that he considers Lawrence's atmosphere a factor in his recent success. "It's great because it's a small town. Big cities have tons of crews ready to replace you," Rivera said, "Plus, people go out in Lawrence to get down, you know? To have fun." Rivera said that Lawrence was also useful for spreading the word about shows. "It's just a great place for artists," Rivera said. "It's kind of a small community in Lawrence. Everyone seems to know each other and word of mouth gets around." Rivera also takes advantage of social media for advertising. Facebook status updates, event pages and tweets all help spread the word about Rivera's shows. Although Rivera is currently doing well, he is unsure of whether he wants to pursue this career professionally. "My dream is to do this every day, but, really, I don't know," Rivera said, "It's paying the bills right now." Rivera's next "Blackout" party will be at 9:30 p.m. Thursday, March 3 at the Granada. — Edited by Amanda Sorell Enrollment Begins April 1 JAYHAWK SUMMER.com KU Summer School Lawrence Edwards Campus Online • Plan ahead • Earn KU credit • Graduate in four • Advance your degree Dates to Remember Timetable published ...

Edited by Emily Soetaert ART (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Asbury said she was interested in the Mobius band, a twisted cylinder, and wanted to provoke the viewer's imagination. "They're illusionistic and paradoxical at the same time," Asbury said of the two oil paintings. "They don't have a linear perspective." Also on display in an adiacent room are Asbury's sand and acrylic paintings. The innovative procedure used to make the paintings mix sand from different deserts (some naturally colored) into a clear polymer solution. The results are paintings with a tribal feel influenced by Asbury's passions of ethnic art, anthropology, archaeology, mythology and non-Western cultures. In the artist's statement, Asbury wrote, "the desert is a place for solitary introspection." Cima Katz, a professor of art, picked her favorite work from her three-piece set titled "Codex: Odd Other." The digital collage is an open book of multi-colored words, numbers, birds and an oval that reads, "In Memory Of My Odd Other." Katz said the underlying narrative behind the collage is death, dispersal of memory and what's left after someone leaves earth. "I'm interested in voices speaking back and forth," Katz said of the words written by herself, her mother and her grandmother. "It's not really legible. It's the idea of the text and how we communicate visually and verbally."

Fifty-eight percent of adults in Kansas support the legalization of medical marijuana, according to a poll conducted last year by SurveryUSA and sponsored by KWCH, a Wichita-based TV station. The new bill, known as the Cannabis Compassion and Care Act, calls for the legalization of owning and using marijuana plants for those with "debilitating medical conditions", such as cancer, glaucoma, AIDS, hepatitis C and Crohn's disease. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Health and Human Services for debate. pass. During the discussion of a similar bill last year, a friend of Fox went to speak to the committee, but he said it didn't look promising. "Everyone in the committee got up and left, except for three people," Fox said. "It was like a ioke."

Although the bill would legalize the use of marijuana in "If someone wants to find weed, it's not like they have to go far," Fox said. "It's everywhere." some instances, Fox said it won't cause the illegal use of marijuana to rise because of how easy the drug is to obtain already.

He was supposed to be in the thick of the discussion for All-American honors (he is). He was supposed to be the favorite, or one of the favorites, to win Big 12 Player of the Year (he is). He was supposed to be on the fringe of the discussion as a potential national player of the year (he's not, really, but he could be if he closes on a hot streak). Markieff Morris, though, has been every bit better than advertised. He used to be the other Morris twin. Now he's Markieff. There were hints that he could produce at this level; moments over the last two seasons where he got big minutes and put up numbers to match. But for Markieff to sustain this level of production, to the point where he is regarded as nearly as good an NBA prospect as his brother — well, it's a pleasant surprise for coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks. "Marcus and Markieff can make plays that you just can't coach," Self said. "He's been our best player in practice this week and certainly he played like that today." In no week this season has Markieff's influence on the team been quite as obviously stated as the last one. In Kansas' loss to Kansas State, Markieff disappeared. He was terrible, and he would tell you that. He finished with three points and zero rebounds and one crucial intentional foul and the Jayhawks floundered to an embarrassing loss to their interstate rival. Self said Markieff stepped up in the practices following that loss, and it showed Saturday. Guess so. Markieff dominated in practice this week and certainly he played like that today" In Kansas' victory against Colorado, Markieff emerged as the best weapon Kansas had offensively and had almost as many offensive rebounds (eight) as Colorado's entire team (nine). He finished with career highs with 26 points and 15 rebounds. "I think that as a team we had something to prove this game. It was embarrassing losing to Kansas State, and we do not want to do that again. We just got to get better and I guess it starts with me," he said after the Colorado game. "Markieff goes three and zero against K-State to 26 and 15 today," Self said. "He's been our best player BILL SELF coach "I could tell that he was going to play well based on the way that he was practicing." Marco practices this week, Marcus said, and was primed for a good game. said. "He was totally dominating in practice and was dunking everything around the rim." But Oklahoma State will provide a much stiffer test Monday. The Cowboys, unlike the Buffalooes, have in Marshall Moses a post that will likely at least win All-Big 12 honorable mention, and has a decent shot at reaching the second team. Markieff will draw the defensive assignment against Moses and will have to avoid the foul trouble that has plagued him at times throughout his career. KANSAS 21 But whether or not it means the Jayhawks can win the conference — Texas' Saturday loss gives the Jayhawks a small glimmer of hope — Markieff said he's not likely to stop working. "We need them to lose another one," he said. "But if they don't lose another one, we aren't going to stop trying to get better every day." Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Edited by Becca Harsch Junior forward Markieff Morris puts up a one-handed shot in the paint Saturday at Allen Fielhouse. Morris recorded a career-high 26 points in the Javhawk victory. SOFTBALL Jayhawks remain undefeated after invitational BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com The Kansas softball team works to maintain its undefeated streak after winning the Stetson Hatter Invitational. "This team this year, we are a family. We are on the same page. We know what we want. We have one common goal and that is to win," senior pitcher Allie Clark said. Clark went on to explain that the feelings that she gets around this softball team are ones she has not had since playing with her high school team. This team is close-knit. Each and every player is working to get better. "I am so proud of all of our freshman this year. We have shown them that it is okay for them to step up. Our freshmen are loud in your face and we love it." Clark said. The familial atmosphere allows players to pick up their teammates when they get down after missing a play. The team is young, but that hasn't been an issue for the Jayhawks so far. PAGE 1B This weekend gave the Jayhawks the opportunity to show what they can do. "It is just very rare. I feel like we are very lucky to have that feeling, whatever it is. We call each other family. We are a family and it is just amazing." Clark said. Friday, they made quick work of South Dakota State, winning 8-0 in six innings as well as hitting four home runs against Bethune-Cookman to win 7-4. Saturday brought BCU back against the Jayhawks, concluding with a commanding 17-7 win in six innings. Over the first three innings, Stetson scored seven runs to Kansas' two runs, putting Stetson up 7-6 after the third inning. Kansas faced host team Stetson for the evening game, which went to eight innings. This was the first game that Kansas had fallen behind in all season. Kansas started the game strong with four runs in the first inning. In the fourth inning, Stetson scored another run off of three singles to extend the lead 8-6. In the final game of the invitational, the Jayhawks were pitted against Stetson again. This time, however, Kansas pulled off a commanding win at 8-0 in six innings. "We kind of stuck it out last night going to extra innings, but coming out today and actually sticking it to Stetson was pretty big for us, so that is probably our highlight," Vickers said. In the fifth inning, sophomore Maggie Hull hit her During the extra inning, senior Brittany Hile hit her second home run of the day and her fourth of the weekend, advancing the score to 10-8. Freshman Kendra Cullum followed with walking in the final run, ending with a score of 11-8. fourth double of the season, followed by a hit by freshman Ashley Newman, which caused a Stetson error. This gave Hull enough time to score from second base. "I learned this weekend that they are a bunch of fighters. They go out and fight'til the end." "That was the first time that we had been down all season and our girls fought back. We are really confident in our order one through nine so we felt really good about the bottom of our order being up and Brittany Hile came through big for us," coach Megan Smith said. The Kansas offense had a MEGAN SMITH coach strong showing with a total of 56 hits from ten different players. The team ended the weekend with 14 home runs. that they are a bunch of fighters. They go out and they fight 'til the end. They have a lot of heart and I think that is a big reason that we are doing so well," Smith said. "I learned this weekend The team plans to continue working on the little things, including getting back to the fundamentals while in Lawrence.. "We are going to keep them relaxed,keep them confident and we will get back at it next weekend." Smith said. The team will head to Greensboro, N.C., to compete in the UNCG Spartan Classic Feb. 25 to 27.

COMMENTARY Selby is on his way to the top IAN MACKENNIE BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com This attention is more based off what he can do than what he's recently done. Whether it's Colorado's defense or a spectator in the upper reaches of Allen Fieldhouse, everyone's focus gravitates to Josh Selby. Now, no one is forgetting Selby's role as the savior against University of Southern California earlier this season. He dropped 21 points on 5-of-8 from three-point range, one that was the game winner that allowed the Jayhawks to nudge past the Trojans 70-68. It was Selby's first collegiate game. Some impression. He followed his introduction with 18 points at California. Then inconsistency struck when Selby was unable to reach double figures in scoring in back-to-back games, if you omit Kansas' yearly game at UMKC. Then he tagged Colorado with 17 points and five assists in its house earlier this season. That night at Colorado ignited Selby, as he strung together his most consistent three-game stretch, following with 12 points against Kansas State and 14 points at Texas Tech, with four assists in each game. Then Selby suffered from a stress fracture in his right foot and missed the next three games. He returned at Kansas State, but only for 11 volatile minutes. Saturday against Colorado, he recorded 21 minutes and missed seven of his nine shots. But his five assists proved that he still reaps the defense's focus. "It's good for him to be able to get some minutes and be able to play through some mistakes," coach Bill Self said. When Selby drove to the hoop, the Buffaloes stampeded his way. Then he lobbed the ball in the air to unguarded Morris twins for crowd-awakening alley-oops. Selby said that his foot injury is not yet 100 percent recovered and that when it is, the shots will start falling. "He's a little rusty," junior forward Markieff Morris said. "He's going to get back to playing how he plays." And once he does, Kansas has its missing piece. Sophomore forward Thomas Robinson will likely return before the end of the regular season to reshape Kansas' more than formidable front-court. Senior guards Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar carried the back-court's scoring in Selby's absence. Both players are as solid as they come, but lack the ability to create opportunities out of nothing. In a set play, Reed and Morningstar shine. If all breaks down, Selby can create shots out of nothing. He forces a defense to temporarily shift its focus from all else. Soon he'll have his jump-shot back. Then, nothing but stress fractures and the like can hold Selby back.

A: 10, he leads the Big 12 in double-doubles. Pride makes it Home of the Chiefs MORNING BREW Last week we ran an editorial about chanting "Chiefs" at the end of the national anthem. ing "Chiefs" at the end of the national anthem. I used to hate that. In a country where we laud our national anthem, the fact that Chiefs fans would mar the end of the national anthem really made me angry. When I was at a high school game and I heard the word "Chiefs" echo through our little gym, I would roll my eyes and glare at anyone near me that had the guts to shout it out. In all fairness, I wasn't born here. I'm a Floridian, and my team is the Pittsburgh Steelers, so I didn't have the Kansas background that many of these vocal Chiefs' loyalists had. I didn't grow up in red. This summer and fall I spent a lot of time around the Chiefs organization because of my internship with a local news station. I went to almost every home game. Part of my job was to interview Chiefs fans about their team and the zeal they felt about it was contagious. the zeal they ten to love. And what wasn't to love? The Chiefs are one of the oldest teams in the NFL. Despite their last few seasons, they have a history of success in the league. They moved from Dallas to Kansas City in 1963 and many great names have been on its roster or coaching staff. Men such as Len Dawson, Bobby Bell, Joe Montana and coaches such as Hank Stram, Marty Schottenheimer and Dick Vermeil. VINAYA MURTHI And every year 16 teams fight tooth and nail to win the Lamar Hunt trophy, named after the founder of the Chiefs and of the American Football League, which would compete with and then later merge with the NFL in 1970. The merger would create a sporting league that would become one of the corner-stones of the United States, today's NFL. And much of it is due to Lamar Hunt. BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com much of it is due to Lamar Hall Kansas City is a sports town. And the Chiefs, through good and bad, are part of its residents' lives. Last summer, before anyone would have ever guessed that the Chiefs would be AFC West champions, thousands of people showed up in the sweltering heat to see their team. And when it rained and the team went inside, fans still stayed, peering through windows, hoping to get a glimpse of Dwayne Bowe or Jamaal Charles. THE MORNING BREW Bowe or Jamaaal Charles. Then the team had some success. But even when the team is winning, Kansas City isn't an easy place to root for a team. In the bitter cold of winter, the parking lots were still filled with jokers, drunk tailgaters and the upper deck of Arrowhead still housed binocular-hoisting fans halfway frozen to their seats. This is what changed my mind and why I think the Chiefs chant is so special. They aren't trying to devale the national anthem; these red-faced Kansas and Missouri-bred citizens are trying to show their love for their team. America is not just the home of apple pie and Snookis poof, it is the home to one of the proudest and most historical franchises in the NFL. And if you've ever stepped into Arrowhead stadium on game day, you'll have to try really hard not to get carried away and add your voice to the mass of Chiefs chanters. After all, if I can buy an American flag thong, why can't these people add their own little zing to the national anthem? — Edited by Brittany Nelson Men's Basketball vs. Oklahoma State 8 p.m. Lawrence 体 THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS THE WEEKEND'S TOP 5 NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL SCOREBOARD | | KANSAS | COLORADO | TEXAS | NEBRASKA | OSU | PURDUE | PITT | SJU | DUKE | GEORGIA TECH | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | FIRST HALF | 48 | 31 | 33 | 26 | 33 | 37 | 27 | 26 | 37 | 28 | | SECOND HALF | 41 | 32 | 34 | 44 | 30 | 39 | 32 | 34 | 42 | 29 | FINAL SCORE | 80 | 63 | 67 | 70 | 63 | 76 | 59 | 60 | 79 | 57 | X TODAY TUESDAY Baseball vs. Creighton 3 p.m. Lawrence WEDNESDAY 5 2 Women's Swimming Big 12 Championships All Day Austin, Texas Women's Basketball vs. Oklahoma State 7 p.m. Stillwater, Okla.

Kansas defeated Missouri in overtime 75-70 led by Davis' career-high 34 points. BY KATHLEEN GIER kier@kansan.com kqier@kansan.com The Jayhawks are quick to attribute success to teamwork and their ability to stick together in rough spots. Saturday was another one of those nights and, appropriately, the Jayhawks came together in a 75-70 victory against the Tigers. Sophomore guard Monica Engelman hit the baseline jumper which sent the game into overtime before nailing another jumper on the first possession. Engelman hit another shot with two minutes left, and another with 20 seconds. "I hit that shot and it kind of rejuvenated me," Engelman said. "When I got the ball and saw the rim, I just let it go." After shooting 1-7 before her run, Engelman gave credit to her teammates for continuing to feed her the ball and give her opportunities to score. "That means a lot to me that I can step up in that situation and come through for my teammates," Engelman said. Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis and freshman guard Keena Mays each added two points in the overtime effort. Mays knocked the ball out of bounds which gave Kansas the final possession. Davis scored the free throws that sealed the game then hit one more and recorded a career-high 34 points. In the spirit of the "Pink Zone" game for Breast Cancer Awareness, Kansas fought a tough game. Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich kept the Jayhawks fighting as she dished out nine assists and contributing 14 points. "There are a lot of people that are recipient of her ability to push the ball," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Goodrich leads the Big 12 in assists in conference play averaging 6.4 dimes per game. She has 102 assists so far this year. "She is playing at a really high level and is raising everyone around her" Henrickson said. Goodrich has embraced her role as a leader on this young Kansas team. "Being a point guard I cannot show that I am panicked, because they look to me," Goodrich said. This was the fifth overtime game for the Jayhawks this season. This victory improves the Kansas record to 17-9 and 4-8 in conference play. Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis' consistency in scoring helped the Jayhawks. Davis shot 13-16 for the game. She has led the team in scoring, averaging 18.1 points per game. The Jayhawks continued to struggle on the offensive glass picking up only 7 of their 38 rebounds on offense. "We just need to go harder," junior forward Aishah Sutherland said. Sutherland did not have any offensive rebounds, but recorded five on defense. The Jayhawks drastically cut down their turnover count from 31 in the previous game to 14.

In the book, "The Ball is in Your Court", Almarie Chalmers discusses raising Mario and his sister. The fans came in droves, carrying Chalmers memorabilia, talking about the shot like it happened yesterday. like it happened to his days at Bartlett High School in Anchorage, Ala., Chalmers always came through in clutch, having many last-second game-winning shots. This trait carried over to his collegiate career where Chalmers had many unforgettable game-winning shots. "He just wanted to win, and would do whatever it takes," former Kansas, and current Charlotte Bobcats guard Sherron Collins said. That work ethic played a big part in Chalmers starting all 82 games with the Miami Heat in his rookie season. "It was a great experience for me," Chalmers said at the book signing. "I worked hard trying to get that spot, and I was able to get it" and I was too late to get there. Chalmers went on to average 10 points, 4.9 assists and 2 steals per game that season. game that he and his sophomore season with Miami, Chalmers started again as starting point guard, until the Heat acquired Carlos Arrovo. the Titleie Leap. While the Miami Heat had the luxury of two strong ball handlers, Chalmers was finding himself in a tougher battle for the starting role, but kept his spirits high. "It was a good move to help out our team." Chalmers said. Chalmers played in 73 games his second season, but only started 22. The following summer would be a life-changer for Chalmers. The Miami Heat's front office was busy, and in the current season, the Heat acquired Lebron James, Chris Bosh, as well as resigning Dwayne Wade. Still, this was a positive summer for Chalmers when the team around him attained championship caliber. him attained champion jockey. "I was excited." Chalmers said. "Any time a player gets to play with those three guys it's a great opportunity, and a lot of fun." This season Chalmers has played in 50 games and has started 14 of them; Carlos Arroyo has started 42. Chalmers has come a long way from his superstar status in college. During his three years at Kansas, Chalmers started 96 of the 110 games he played. games he played. "I went from being a star, to that guy, to just another person on the team," Chalmers said, "in high school I was the man, in college I was the man, and in the NBA it's kind of hard to be the man when your playing behind those guys." in playing While his NCAA glory days are behind him, Chalmer's relives his experience with clips of his miracle shot in the 2008 championship game. "I probably watch it every two weeks." Chalmers said with a grin. He says he still practices every shot like it's the last of the game. "Every time I'm shooting I'm counting down 3,2,1 in my head, it's something I've been doing since high school." Chalmers said. high school. While his role in the NBA has yet to be solidified, Chalmers is still working on becoming "the man" on the professional level, and he hasn't lost his will to win. "I'll just keep working." Chalmers said. AMERICA'S NEW REALITY Edited by Emily Soetaert Almarie and Mario Chalmers sign Almarie Chalmer's book, "The Ball is in Your Court, Embracing Your Child's Dream," Saturday night. The Oread Hotel hosted the signing session in its main lobby from 4 to 6 p.m. Jayhawks claim victory against top-ranked Horned Frogs BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The Kansas baseball team entered this season with multiple question marks across the roster. After a wild weekend in Fort Worth, Texas, one of those questions has been answered. It was a big opening weekend for the Kansas baseball team, which after dropping its first two games, came back strong with a 14th-inning win in Forth Worth against Texas Christian University. In that wild 14-inning game, closer Colton Murray, a junior pitcher, gave the Jayhawks seven strong . innings out of the bullpen. Murray, who has had consistency issues in the past, was instrumental in the Jayhawks' Murray BALL victory Sunday against the topranked Horned Frogs. In his seven innings pitched, he gave up seven hits and allowed only two runs. Murray pitched five consecutive scoreless innings after giving up a game-tying run in the eighth. The junior pitcher managed to get out of several jams late in the ballgame. "Ive never had to get out of that many (jams)," Murray said. "I just tried to keep my mind set straight, and just go after the hitter and not worry about anything else." worry about anything. Zac Elgie had a two-run double in the top of the 14th, which allowed freshman indefender Tucker Tharp and senior outfielder Jimmy Waters to score, giving Kansas a late two-run lead. With a pitch count approaching 100, Murray had to dig deep to muster the energy to finish TCU off. the energy When asked about his arm wearing down, Murray said, "I feel it now, but during the game I really didn't feel it at all." Starting pitcher sophomore Tanner Poppe also proved himself Sunday, giving up only three hits and one run in six innings. in the bottom of the 14th, with a 4-2 Kansas lead, Murray gave up a home run to TCU's Joe Weik. The teams were separated by one run, and the pressure was on Murray. Murray briefly struggled, allowing TCU to load the bases with two outs. Murray responded to the pressure by striking out Brance Rivera to end the game. the series. Walz, a senior, walked four batters and gave up seven hits and seven earned runs as Kansas fell 8-2 in the opening game of the series. The Jahawk's Friday starting pitcher, TJ. Walz, also struggled with his control during the first game of series "TJ, Walz really struggled Friday night," coach Ritch Price said. "He walked more guys Friday night than I've seen him walk in the four years he's been in our program." he's been in his pajamas Saturday's starter, Wally Marciel, had a strong night, pitching five innings and up giving three runs off of seven hits. TCU's starting pitcher, Kyle Winkler, only gave up one hit to the Jayhawks Saturday, and Kansas fell 8-1. especially against a team like this', senior shortstop Brandon Macias said after Saturday's game. After Sunday, the team learned from its previous days' faults and got the job done with a 4-3 victory on Sunday. Coach Price is now 6-3 against No. 1-ranked teams, and the team returns home with momentum, and confidence in their closer, after a victory against the top-handed Horned Frogs.

Bill Self has always struggled against his alma mater in Stillwater, and the Cowboys have been awful on the road this year. They've yet to win a conference game away from home. Marshall Moses will provide a stiff test for the Morris twins inside. He's averaging better than 14 points per game and does a good job of drawing fouls, which has been a problem for the twins. Thomas Robinson won't be ready to go tomorrow, which means the Jayhawks will have to go with Mario Little and Jeff Withey as the reserve posts once more. PLAYER TO WATCH Colter Selbv Josh Selby Selby struggled again Saturday against the Buf- faloes, finishing just 2-of-9 from the field for four points. He's done a better job of creating opportunities for teammates, though, evidenced by his five assists against two turnovers. There's a decent chance Selby will retain his spot in the starting lineup despite Morningstar's excellent play.Morningstar has shown that he can perform off the bench, and more importantly, there wouldn't be an issue with Morningstar viewing the benching as a demotion. Selby could use the confidence boost that comes with starting. Morningstar will produce no matter what the role is. Can the Jayhawks dominate a team defensively? QUESTION MARK Kansas got called out by former great Mario Chalmers, who was at the game Saturday and told the current players that they were fun to watch but that they "don't guard anybody." Bill Self said he hoped the message would get through because somebody else delivered it. The Jayhawks are statistically fine defensively — they're actually in the top 10 in the country in defensive rating — but it's not difficult to see that there are plenty of issues on that side of the ball. If a team guards the Jayhawks like Kansas State and Texas did in their two losses, the Jayhawks will have a tough time stopping them enough to win. Oklahoma State probably won't be the team to do it, but the Jayhawks need to start to figure it out. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "Last year they kicked our butts down there and we didn't have a very good game. Certainly they know some things on how to attack us and we've got to be a much better basketball team on Monday night. At least our guys got a bad taste out of their mouth today." COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA STATE 8 p.m., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, Lawrence Ousting Oklahoma State Ready to lasso in the cowboys Taylor A. R. E. Kwesi KANSAS 25-2, (10-2) STARTERS Board Tyshawn Taylor, junior guard Reed Taylor took a step in the right direction defensively Saturday — after getting lit up for 38 points by Jacob Pullen Monday, he held Cory Higgins to two points below his season average but he's still not close to being the defensive stopper that his length and quickness would allow him to be. Taylor had his best day shooting from outside, hitting 3-of-4 from three-point range, but he struggled inside the three-point line (0-for-3) and the free throw line (1-for-6). ★★★☆☆ Tyrel Reed, senior guard Morningstar M. KADEVANOV M. C. Morris Reed was a little overshadowed by Brady Morningstar's unbelievable first half, but he was his typical sturdily, productive self. Reed hit 4-6 from the field and 3-of-4 from outside for 13 points. He was one of five Kansas starters who scored in double figures, while the Jayhawks needed only eight bench points to post 89 on Colorado. NURTURE Bill Self on Oklahoma State ★★★☆ Brady Morningstar, senior guard Morningstar played one of the best first halves any Jayhawk has played this entire season. He guarded Alec Burks well and put up 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting, 4-of-5 from outside. Even if Josh Selby is finally 100 percent (Self listed him as roughly 90 percent Saturday), Morningstar has staked one heck of a claim to keeping his role in the starting lineup. Morningstar has an absurd 25-to-2 assist-to-turnover rate and leads the nation in the stat among players averaging a minimum of 2.5 assists. M. K. Morris PETER ROBINSON Brown ★★★★☆ Marcus makes for an interesting study in efficiency. Three times he has taken more than 15 shots — at Michigan, against Texas and against Colorado Saturday — and all three are among his worst eight games in offensive rating. For some reason — perhaps because he is such an excellent passer — he is more effective when he doesn't shoot as much. Markieff is slowly but steadily climbing draft boards to the point where he's nearly as highly regarded a prospect as Marcus. He's not at that point yet — Marcus will almost surely be a lottery pick if he leaves this year — but Markieff isn't far behind. Before Markieff's 26-point, 15-rebound tour de force Saturday, SI.com's Seth Davis talked with five scouts about Markieff. The consensus was that Markieff would be a solid mid-first round pick. Marcus Morris, junior forward ★★★★★ ★★★★★ MICHAEL DECINA OKLAHOMA STATE 16-10,(4-8) STARTERS Markieff Morris, junior forward Markel Brown, freshman guard Brown is averaging six points and 2.3 rebounds per game. He is shooting 25 percent from downtown and 38 percent from the field. On Saturday, Brown was 1-3 with four points and two rebounds. He did come up with two steals, but against a Texas A&M team that is struggling, he will need to be better, especially if he is matched up against a quicker Tyshawn Taylor. Page ★★☆☆★ KINNEY MADISON Keiton Page, junior guard Page is one of the smaller guards in the Big 12. He is the team's second leading scorer with 13.8 points per game. Because of his size, he isn't an effective rebounder, even on the long rebounds from deep shots. Page has taken 123 free throws this season connecting on 112 of them, good for 91.1 percent, best in the Big 12. ★★★☆☆ Matt Pilgrim, senior forward Pilgrim is not a big time scorer, only averaging 4.8 points per game, but has been good on the glass for the Cowboys, averaging 5.2 rebounds per game. On Saturday he chipped in nine points to go along with his 11 rebounds. A team that is only averaging three blocks per contest, Pilgrim had two on Saturday. PRES AMUNDA ★★☆☆☆ Pilgrim J.P. Olukemi, sophomore forward Olukemi is averaging 11.6 points per game for the Cowboys this season. He is averaging 4.0 rebounds. In Saturday's loss to the Aggies, Olukemi scored 11 points on 3-4 shooting. He was 4-5 from the free-throw line, but didn't have any rebounds. He will need to improve his rebounding tonight if he wants to keep the Cowboys close. Giving up offensive rebounds to Kansas will put this game out of reach quickly. OKLAHOMA ★★★☆☆ Olukemi Tim Dwyer Marshall Moses, senior forward Moses only played seven minutes against Texas A&M because he was sick with flu-like symptoms. The game dynamic could have changed with him being in the game, but he sat the whole second half not scoring a single point in the game. Moses is averaging a team-high 14.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. PARKS Moses OSU TIPOFF ★★★☆☆ AT A GLANCE Oklahoma State could have picked up another signature win on Saturday if it defeated No. 21 Texas A&M at home.The Cowboys were winning by one with 15.7 seconds remaining after a pair of sophmore guard Reger Dowell free throws.Dowell then fouled B.J. Holmes in the backcourt to send him to the line.Holmes made both and Oklahoma State was unable to answer on the other end before time expired.The Cowboys did defeat then-ranked No. 15 Missouri 76-70 at home on Feb. 2 and then-ranked No. 17 Kansas State 76-62 at home on Jan.8. Those are the only two victories against ranked opponents for a PLAYER TO WATCH KINLY MACKENNY team that is in the lower half of the Big 12 standings. Keiton Page He might be small, but Page Page QUESTION MARK gets after it. He averages 33.5 minutes per game, eighth most in the Big 12. Last season Oklahoma State upset No.1 Kansas 85-77 on Feb. 27 in Stillwater, Okla. Page hit dagger after dagger, going 4-4 from deep, while scoring 15 points in 29 minutes sealing the victory. Page is scrappy. He might not be the best rebounder. He might be able to block shots or get in the passing lane quick enough, but he plays hard for 30-plus minutes and can frustrate defenders because he is so small. How will Oklahoma State's size be a disadvantage? The Cowboys are a small team. They have one player over 6-foot-8, sophomore forward Jared Shaw who is 6-foot-10. Oklahoma State has three players at 6-foot-8, not a good combination when facing Kansas, especially if sophomore forward Thomas Robinson comes back. The Jayhawks have juniors Marcus and Markieff Morris, Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey who are all taller than 6-foot-8. The Morris twins and Robinson are much stronger and quicker than the Oklahoma State bigs. Even the backcourt is small. A 5-foot-10 Keiton Page will be the smallest player on the court, but he will be the one to make the biggest — Mike Lavieri HEARYE, HEARYE contribution for the Cowboys. "We just kicked ourselves in the foot all night long. It's amazing we had the lead with seconds to go because we made way too many mistakes tonight." Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford after the Cowboys' 67-66 loss to Texas A&M BIG 12 SCHEDULE Saturday. Game Wed., Feb. 23 Time (CT) Oklahoma at Texas A&M 6:30 p.m. Colorado at Texas Tech 6:30 p.m. Baylor at Missouri 8 p.m. Kansas State at Nebraska 8 p.m. XII BIG 12 CONFERENCE ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF ... Kansas continues the offensive pace they set against Colorado. The Jayhawks played some of their best ball of the season in the six games following the loss to Texas. Kansas State killed that streak with humiliating thoroughness, but Kansas got right back on track Saturday. THE COWBOYS WILL RIDE IF ... Marshall Moses dominates the Morris twins. Oklahoma State's best chance at winning is getting the twins into foul trouble and exposing Jeff Withey and Mario Little. If the Morris twins are going, Oklahoma State doesn't stand a chance against the Jayhawks' offense.

Chris Bronson/KANSAN R. LARSON Congressman Kevin Yoder has a conversation with Megan Ritter junior from Overland Park, Alex Earles, senior from Salina, and Aaron Dullinger, a senior from Leawood, before his lecture in the Traditions Area on the 4th Floor of the Kansas Union. Yoder was at the Union from 11:30 to 1:00 p.m. Students enjoyed free pizza and asked Congressman Yoder questions after his lecture. Yoder Kevin Yoder: My KU experience really set me on a pathway to leadership. I can certainly say that if it wasn't for coming to KU and getting involved in all the activities and elections here, I would have not ever run for congress or ever be in this position. I attribute a lot of what I have developed as leadership skills from experiences in small student groups here on campus. Kansan: What issue do you think students should be paying more attention to? **Voder:** Well certainly the debt and the yearly deficit. You know, we're also at a point where when you add up Medicare, social security and Medicaid, that within 30 years, those three programs will take up every dollar the federal government spends, leaving no money for education, no money for research, no money for transportation, no money for defense, no money for anything. It's gonna take some heavy lifting by the next generation. We're gonna have to figure out what we can live without. Will the next generation have all the of same entitlement benefits that the current generation has? I don't know. I think students are gonna have to decide now, if I'm 21 years old, what kind of country do I want to live in 30 years from now and start changing things to fix things down the road.

TOR'S NOTE EDITOR'S NOTE EDITOR'S NOTE BY ASHLEY MONTGOMERY amontgomery@kansan.com The search for my first apartment was quick and painless. The move-in was not. Just a few short weeks later I had signed a lease for a one bedroom apartment within a few minutes' walk from campus. I thought it was going to be perfect. I arrived one hot August morning with two carloads of necessities, ready to get settled. I opened the door to the smell of smoke. The hallway was dark and I turned on the light to find dirty carpet. The walls were stained with food spatter and other mysterious particles. The once-white tub was stained a dusty brown. The refrigerator was holding onto the remnants of old food and beverages. The kitchen floor had enough crumbs and leftovers to feed a family of mice for weeks. I was severely disappointed. I had been told that the apartment would be cleaned during the turnover between tenants. But it was. And I wasn't going to give up that easy. So I called the management. The woman who answered the phone assured me that crews had vaccuumed and cleaned every unit. So it was impossible for mine to be dirty. Several hours later — after a series of phone calls, voicemails and an office visit — the manager apologized and personally supervised the cleanup. Eventually the problem was fixed. But I lost a day and my trust in the management. Looking back I wish I would have paid more attention to the lease agreement. I should have made sure that the promise to clean was in writing and I should have discussed my expectations with the management. Because when it comes to tenantlandlord relationships you can't take anything for granted. Students Live Here. leasing starts in March!

Sometimes that happens for those whom the universe deems lucky enough, but a lot of the time people are different. Adjusting is hard and, inevitably, conflicts will arise. The idea of roommates is flawless: this other person will pay half your bills and all you have to do is let them sleep and shower under the same roof as you. Yet as many who have lived with roommates can attest, it's just not that easy, and picking the right roommate is an essential first step. Even great friends can easily turn to enemies, and they often do. Kory Wilcoxson, resident services manager at The Reserve, said it's actually the roommates who were friends before living together who have the most problems. "If a person is your lifelong friend, you tend to feel that you can say something to them and the relationship will survive, or they will be more tolerant of adverse behavior," Wilcoxson said. "There is a level of respect for random roommates that prohibits a person from saying negative things that will hurt the other person or damage the relationship." cleanliness, relationship statuses, and even favorite TV shows and video games. The Reserve has a similar preference card, and roommates are placed together according to their answers. There is no definitive science that can predict "There is a level of respect for random roommates that prohibits a person from saying negative things." now two people will adjust to living together, but student apartment complexes like The Grove take steps to ensure randomly assigned roommates will be as compatible as possible. The Grove requires an extensive resident profile to be completed that includes questions about study habits, KORY WILCOXSON The Reserve services manager Interestingly, it seems no matter how the roommate is chosen, the main causes of conflict are pretty similar across the board. Wilcoxson says the big ones are food sharing, fair distribution of cleaning duties, and significant others staying over too much. The latter was frequently a problem for junior Harrison Smith. "I got locked out of the room when he [the roommate] was having sex," Smith said, "and having his girlfriend sleep in the same room as me was strange." Resolving roommate problems like this is made even trickier during a time when face-to-face contact is replaced by passive-aggressive tweets and Facebook statuses; however, like any relationship, the keys to success are communication and compromise. Wilcoxson recommends mediating if necessary, as well as "communicating productively" to reach agreements. For Smith, dealing with these problems came down to trying to "make compromises, discuss the issues in a civil manner, and not to be really passive so you become more resentful." From picking the right roommate to dealing with conflicts, learning to live with other people can be a field of landmines. The good news is if you learn to communicate and find middle ground, you'll probably come out of it without getting blown up.

Travis Young/KANSAN When you find an apartment that seems too good to be true, check the fine print in the lease. Knowing the rules and your rights as a resident can make the difference in what kind of expericene you have in your new living environment. Buyer-beware: Know your lease BY KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com A lease might seem like an annoying technicality standing between you and the keys to your new place, but the contents of your lease can have a big effect on your experience as a renter. Make sure you know what you're agreeing to when you sign and initial all of those pages. The pool terms and conditions weren't specified in Dubois' lease, so there was nothing she could do other than wait until her lease was over to move out. "I moved into my apartment next to a pool thinking the hours would be regulated," said Johanna Dubois, a sophomore from Edmond, Okla. "Even though there were loud drunk people partying past the closing time, the management never did anything because they said it would have been bad publicity." A lease is a contract that establishes the responsibilities of both the person renting and the property owner. Some of the information is straight forward. A lease includes how much rent is and the dates your lease begins and ends. But they can also contain tricky clauses that hold the leasers accountable for rent even if they're evicted and tack on big late fees if rent is overdue. Renters need to be sure to read the fine print and fully understand his or her lease signing. It is important to not assume the landlord or management will follow through with every request. Reading your lease and understanding what rights you have allows you to complain if those rights are violated. If you have any questions about what a section means, ask the landlord or manager who handles leases or contact KU Legal Services for Students. The responsibility of moving into a new apartment doesn't end after students sign the lease. Students then have to consider if they want to protect their things by purchasing renter's insurance, which covers all of the policy holder's possessions. "It is good for students today to have renter's insurance because they have so many expensive electronics," said Mary Woodward, an American Family Insurance agent in Lawrence. "If your laptop gets stolen out of your car, your car insurance won't pay to replace it, but your renter's insurance will." The policy typically covers property lost or damaged because of theft, fire, vandalism, and inclement weather conditions. Students have the option to independently purchase renter's insurance or use their parents' insurance policy. While it might cost less to mooch off mom and dad, parents are likely to have more to insure and that leads to a higher deductible, which is the amount of money that the policy holder has to pay before the insurance company gives them money. A student's policy would have a lower deductible, which means less money out of pocket. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2011 The stress of moving into a new place can be overwhelming, but you'll sleep soundly under your new roof if you take the time to protect yourself and your belongings. — Edited by Samantha Collins THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN --- SUBMIT YOUR SLOGAN FOR THE THE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY SHIRT TO KANSAN.COM AND HAVE YOUR CHANCE AT WINNING AN iPAD + AUTOGRAPHED BASKETBALL FROM THE KU MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM AND AN AUTOGRAPHED FOOTBALL FROM COACH TURNER GILL TO ENTER THIS CONTEST YOU MUST BE A CURRENT UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS STUDENT WITH A VALID KU EMAIL ADDRESS.

Not a problem. Embrace the lifestyle. You're in college, and sure, the luxury apartments are great, if that makes you feel more at home and you can afford it. But that's not feasible for most of us. And trying to make your tacky place look nice just makes it look even tackier, so take that "I'm-on-a-water-budget" motif and run with it.

BY JAMES CASTLE jcastle@kansan.com You might start your search somewhere in the "student ghetto," between 10th and 17th and Kentucky and Louisiana Streets, as those homes are particularly ancient and have a better chance of collapsing at maximum capacity during festivities. It's a good sign if your apartment or house has a funny smell to it because it is less likely the neighbors will report any suspicious odors. Rather than researching the ratings for particular landlords in the area or which apartment complexes have the best amenities, make some appointments for showings to investigate key factors such as smell and carpet color, for example. It's a good sign if your apartment or house has a funny smell to it, because it is less likely the neighbors will report any suspicious odors. Like good, clean smells, certain carpets can also pose a potential threat to your inconspicuous, low-budget lifestyle. Carpet that is not dirt-colored, or even the existence of carpet, is a bad sign. You do not want to be charged for a year's worth of purges and snow muck. If you can, select a residence with scratched and discolored wood floors. After you've found a place, you can start picking out the décor. Goodwill has an excellent selection of mismatched furniture from the twentieth century and works of art that have no relevance to your life. Now, when you or a guest spills Pizza Shuttle all over your gently moth-eaten sofa, you can rationalize it. "Damn ... wait ...the pizza cost more. When it's time to move out, your landlord, well-aware of the rat-hole in which you dwell, is less likely to notice any new damages. Additionally, all tattered furniture can be donated back to Goodwill or set next to a dumpster for the next person to claim as their treasure, saving you the time and energy of lifting and moving large objects. The facts that you have to use pliers to turn on your bathtub and the homeless collect garbage on your terrace is all part of the experience. There will likely be no other time in your life when you can so easily justify this poverty. For many of you, it is time to accept that you are no longer affiliated with the socioeconomic status of your parents. When searching for a place to live this upcoming academic year, remember: you are below working-class; wallow in it. This is college.

Chelsea Alderman, a junior from Lawrence, said something more than her roommates was living in her place. Something ... else. "Out of the corner of your eye, it would seem like someone was standing there." Alderman said. She said she was sure her home was haunted. "If you would sit in my room with your back to my closet," she said, "It felt like someone was standing behind you." She said she tried to bring positive energy to rid the spirits from her home, but she said her efforts failed and the house remained haunted.

Cristal Barker, a sophomore from Overland Park, said she wished she could say the same. Barker said in about one out of every three showers, steam sets off a blistering fire alarm. She said her landlord never warned her of this, so her first shower was halted with a bit of a surprise. "I thought the stove was on or something was on fire," she said, "so I jumped out immediately, grabbed myself a towel and was running around. It's so loud; I thought the sprinklers were going to go off." After scrambling to every room in the apartment, Barker finally realized the steam was the culprit.

The landlord. A strong, working relationship with a landlord is vital to having a positive house experience. But the difference between a good and bad potential landlord can be hard to spot. Spencer Boland, a senior from Overland Park, was forced to leave his house and find a new residence earlier this year because of a zone violation his landlord ignored. The neighborhood he lived in only allowed single-family homes, so living with five unrelated guys not permitted. Boland said there were warning signs well before the zone violation. "You need to do a character evaluation," Boland said. "Look at the person, and see how are they showing you different parts of the house, are they letting you talk, if they are respectful and if they stay on topic." Boland also said his old landlord was very busy, made a lot of excuses and forgot meetings, which is something Boland says potential renters should look out for. Darryl Graves, a property lawyer with Darryl Graves State Professional Incorporation, said students should ask about the apartment rules before signing a lease. Policies on smoking, snow removal and lease renewal are major things to ask a landlord about, Graves said. For Boland, communication between his landlord and the tenants was a big problem. Boland said knowing more about his landlord before signing the lease could have helped him avoid that situation. Feuerborn stressed that communication is key to a good landlord-tenant relationship. "If they have a job and are going to school and call and say they're going to be a week late on rent, that's fine," Feuerborn said. "I don't penalize them, but if they ignore you, that's not good." Myron Feuerborn, a Lawrence resident who owns apartments on 11th Street and Ohio Street, said different landlords expect different things. Some landlords require the renter's parents to sign the lease instead of just the student, because then the landlord can hold the parents responsible for damages or problems that could arise. Another thing student renters should ask about is whether the landlord pays the utilities. before, because your friends will give you their honest opinions about their landlords," Boland said. "Also, take your time, and view more houses than you think you should." "Ask around to people who have rented Edited by Sarah Gregory THE LANDLORD MUST: 1. Maintain compliance with state and city codes. 2. Maintain common areas and grounds. 4. Supply reliable heat in winter. 3. Make sure you have adequate hot and cold running water. 5. Maintain appliances provided with the property. 6. Maintain electrical, plumbing, ventilating and air conditioning ing systems in good working order. 7. Allow tenants to obtain telephone and cable service.
